Brennan: [on character creation] We're doing a weird haunted fairy tales setting? No one's being a big bad wolf, or a wolf hunter lumberjack. I gotta be that!
Siobhan: We should do a fairy tales one. That's fun. I would love to play Jack and the Beanstalk.
Brennan: Jack and the Beanstalk?
Siobhan: I'm claiming it now before Ally has a chance!
Brennan: This might be season seven.
Lou: I'd be Rip Van Winkle.

For the doodle/rant thing, Cole
Cole!!! (Sorry this took a while)
God I love Cole so freaking much man! He’s my closely second favourite after Zane. He’s just a good guy, with a side of silly and an edge of trauma. I think his writing is the best in terms of the main characters, (although I think Nya has the most interesting), which is probably bc his backstory is the most realistic and easy to write. But I think Cole is really under-appreciated when it comes to his writing and stuff. But at the same time I’m probably gonna be biased because I just love this character.
Okay to start off, Cole is actually one of the more moral characters, like Zane, he loves by a motto given to him by his departed parent: “to always stand up to those who are cruel and unjust”. In the show, he proves that he cares so much for others, such as with Karlof in Chen’s noodle factory where he decided he was going to get everyone to escape. And trying to befriend Yang’s students and Yang himself. And befriending Krag. And the entirety of MotM. Cole is also one of the strongest ninja, physically, he was introduced climbing a mountain and he introduced himself to Kai as being fearless (mostly). In the first episode of s1, Cole nearly one the skill contest between the ninja, having beat Zane ( I think?), and nearly beating Kai before Kai set everything on fire. Jay acknowledges Cole would’ve and should’ve won their duel in the tournament in s4, had he not have let Jay win.
But in contrast to Cole generally being and kind, strong guy, he seems to have a lower esteem than what you’d expect. His reaction to grief and difficulty is to run and hide himself away from the world, as seen in s4 when he became a lumberjack after Zane died and when we know Cole became a mountain climber after running away from home and his grief over his mother. His most prominent arcs involve him losing faith in himself: in s5 he thought being a ghost made him less of a ninja, in DotD he thought he was gonna disappear without anyone remembering him, in s11 Cole blames himself for losing the tea, and s13 is about Cole feeling like he can’t measure up to his mother. I’m literally gonna start crying. Cole is an unspoken treasure, unable to see his own worth, like a geode with the crystals on the inside.
And we can fault a lot of it to his backstory. Cole’s parents were a successful musician and performer: Lou, and the dearly missed elemental master of earth: Lilly. It’s unknown if Lou knew Lilly was a ninja because he seemed so against ninjas as a whole in s1, (although I think Lilly being a ninja is a retcon that took effect in s4) but either Lilly abandoned the life of a ninja when she started a family, kept it a secret from Lou, or Lou knew but hid it from Cole, who didn’t seem to know about it when he joined the ninja. Either way, both make sense and fit with Cole’s theme of hiding away. Both Lou and Lilly had given Cole expectations to live up to: Lou with his strict expectations of being a performer, and Lilly asking Cole to promise to be a good person. In the one scene we see Cole and Lilly interacting, Cole is scared that he’s disappointed her by getting into a fight, but it turns out she’s proud of him for being who he is and defending children from bullies. With Cole losing Lilly, he carries this harsh standard that he needs to live in a way that makes her proud, and Lou also feels like he needs to raise Cole to be the best he can be, which is why Lou is harsh in training Cole to be a performer, because that’s all Lou knows. The pressure of everything was too much for Cole and he ended up running away from it all, and climbing a mountain. In his own way he’s still trying to climb to the top and prove himself, but at the same time he’s trying to bury his grief and trauma under other things, such as how Lou is burying his grief with performance. Joining the ninja, Cole starts to heal, he has a way of self improvement that is monitored so that it’s safer, and more importantly he has a family, a safety net that can support him. He’s a ninja and he takes pride in it, but this life comes right into conflict with the life he was hiding from, his father’s. In Cole’s true potential, his disconnect from his father held him back, forcing him to first shun who he was in front of his dad, and lead him to nearly committing crimes because he had no faith in himself winning and he didn’t even want to try. But he decides to anyways, and he does actually succeed. And he’s not proving himself to his father but he’s proving himself to himself. His true potential isn’t just about his daddy issues but also his self esteem in general. Whilst his true potential was achieved this episode, Cole’s inclination to run still resurfaces in other arcs. He associates attention with negativity, as seen when he gets unwanted attention from Nya costing his friendship with Jay and pushing him to run into the woods and be a lumberjack. And he always ends up giving up something in order to help someone else, like giving jay the Jade blade, or grabbing the scroll in Yang’s temple, nearly not making it through the rift because of Yang, falling off of the bounty, helping people in s10 etc etc.
Cole imo has really balanced writing that gives him just enough spotlight to answer our questions about him, and when he isn’t the main focus, he usually has a good b-plot where he receives really good character or he gets good comedy bits which are just enjoyable to watch (like rocky danger buff). It’s easier to actually develop Cole bc as I mentioned, his backstory is the least outlandish. He has kinda a high pressure childhood and his mother died. Unlike every other ninja who’s parents have been missing at some point, Cole knows everything about his parents, his expectations of their status don’t change during the show so he has the most time to develop his current mental state (unlike for example Zane, who’s father kept flip flopping his mortality in a way that doesn’t give Zane enough time to showcase his emotions at each stage of that process, at least not to the extent Cole has). Also because Cole usually gets plots that are not usually connected to the main storyline, his plots always focus mainly on his character development. In a way, being a less important character actually gives characters more of a spotlight. Also they never shove Cole into any romance which is a bonus bc Ninjago romances are honestly horrendously set up. I mean… other than that one time.
Which is how I’ll segue into talking about my few criticisms with Cole’s writing. Bc every character can be improved. First of all, as I mentioned, I can’t talk about Cole without the love triangle. I actually don’t hate about it as much as I used to, since the love triangle did end up setting up the cool development we got in s4. And if you read behind the lines you can almost pretend it was in character, I just tell myself that Cole was only taking part in the drama because he was pissed at Jay assuming he was straight. But the canon is that Nya suddenly had a crush on Cole bc a buzzfeed quiz told her to, and Cole suddenly reciprocated bc that’s apparently what you do. Istg none of the romantic feelings make sense or are justified in the show outside of “that woman looks like she’d be a good gf” which is cringe. So like I just squint when it comes to that and say that Cole and Nya are suffering from peer pressure and allonormativity/compulsive heterosexuality.
Another specific nitpick of Cole’s character is the complete fake out death he had in s10. Like writer’s set up stakes that make the death dramatic but then didn’t stick to their rules which just kinda invalidate the stakes of the season in general. Like we see the cloud immediately turn citizens to stone but for some reason Cole can nap through it fine. The writers put no effort in justifying Cole’s survival of not just the Oni cloud but like surviving falling from that height. I mean ig legos are built different, but if they are, then why is everyone so worried yknow? And it could’ve been simple, we could’ve been shown that Cole somehow saved himself with his powers, maybe being an earth elemental means he doesn’t take damage when he hits the earth? Idk. It was just a cheap death and it didn’t have any impact other than make Nya sad for 1.5 seconds and loosely set up survivalshipping. Yeah
Other than that, I don’t think I have any other specific Cole criticisms. His dad could be involved more ig. Idk.
All in all Cole is a top tier character

WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION MAGAZINE : AUGUST 1993
AGAINST ALL ODDS: A NIGHT OF RAW UPSETS
BATTLE OF THE TITANS
JANNETTY BEATS MICHAELS FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE
Two Stunning Upsets Mark May 17 Monday Night Raw
By Lou Gianfriddo
Transcript Below!!!
Shawn Michaels was stunned when his former tag team partner Marty Jannetty literally walked off the streets of New York City and challenged him to an Intercontinental Title match on the May 17 Monday Night Raw.
It happened during a live interview with Vince McMahon in which Michaels said he was unbeatable and bragged about recent victories over Hacksaw Jim Duggan (who met Michaels the previous week on Raw in a Lumberjack Match) and Mr. Perfect (Who had several encounters with the blond-haired Texan at bouts in locations around the nation).
However, in retrospect these matches may have served to work against Michaels. The frequent title defenses and the beatings he often sustained therein may have taken their toll.
Shawn must have been aware of such facts, because he used every excuse he could in order to back out of the challenge match. But nothing worked for him that night. He was forced to wrestle and seemed unprepared for the altercation the second he stepped into the ring.
When the challenger hit the ring, he initiated the offensive. He slingshot Michaels and decked him with clotheslines, back-bodydrops and flying elbows to the jaw.
The intensity increased. Marty didn’t give Michaels any quarter. He was all over Michaels like a new tan.
Jannetty hammered his former partner with punches. He again slingshot Michaels. This time, though, Shawn struck the turnbuckles upside-down and crashed face-first onto the concrete floor.
Reeling from Jannetty’s furious onslaught, Micheals—in an attempt to save face and his title—grabbed the belt from ring announcer Howard Finkel and headed toward the locker room. Sure Michaels would lose the match and the winner’s purse of the money via count-out but he would still retain the championship. It was a prudent plan, one which Michaels had used on several occasions.
||A dispute with Perfect took Michaels’ attention off his Intercontinental Title defense.||
But it didn’t work on this night. Just before he was home safe, Mr. Perfect, Michael’s archrival since Wrestlemania IX, walked through the curtains and deterred his exodus. Perfect, holding his towel and making derogatory remarks about Michaels, herded the champion back to the squared circle.
What followed was some of the most dramatic wrestling action ever witnessed. Jannetty picked up the pace and came within micrometers of pinning his former friend on at least six occasions.
Just when it seemed that Michaels was doomed, he mustered a comeback. He stunned Jannetty with several rehearsals and staggered him with a clothesline. Then he dropped Jannetty with a devastating side-kick that landed squarely on his jaw.
||Marty Jannetty shocked Shawn Michaels with a small package that brought Jannetty the title.||
Jannetty was out: done for–ripe for the pickings–so go the cliches often used in sport. But Michaels made a monumental error. Instead of pinning Jannnetty, he turned his attention to Perfect, who was at ringside the entire time.
“That’s what’s gonna happen to you, Mr. Not-so-good,” sneered Michaels from the second turnbuckle.
Perfect returned the banter but also kept his eyes on Jannetty, who slowly cleared the cobwebs and rose to his feet.
Perfect then responded by throwing the towel in Michael’s face. By the time Shawn had pushed it away it was too late–Jannetty knotted him with a small package and won the match and the Intercontinental Belt.
Later, Shawn registered a protest with this publication. “Is Jack Tunney gonna allow this [Jannetty’s win] to stand? I was stomping Jannetty’s guts. He couldn’t take it, so Perfect threw in the towel. Didn’t the referee see it? Didn’t any of you morons see it?”
No, Shawn, what most people saw was Marty Jannetty beating you fair and square in center ring.

16, 18, 19 for kyle and uuh 20 for shapesmith for any topic of ur choice because i can't remember which numbers i already sent for him ghgfhd 💛
🦅🛡:
16.
Kyle was born on a pig farm in 1920s Kentucky, meaning that his early years were mostly spent wearing denim dungarees, overshirts, straw hats, etc. Over the decades, he's gone a lot of different styles ranging from Hawaiian Shirt Dad to 1960s Student Protestor (even once wearing those really slutty 80s gym shorts). Nowadays, his style tends to vary quite a bit, but mainly lands on lumberjack fashion (jeans, tartan shirts, etc.)
18.
Kyle was born the youngest of five children (In order: big brother Ellis, twins Mary-Lou and Mary-Beth, middle son Joseph, and finally young Kyle). His mother, Frieda, was a German seamstress who immigrated to America for work, where she met his father Robert, a former smuggler from Chicago who was fleeing from the police. Of course, he has his adopted children, but he still keeps in touch with his siblings' grandchildren and great-grandchildren from time to time.
19.
Among his many abilities, Kyle is actually quite the talented actor! He's used his skills with costuming and mannerisms to fool all manner of people over the years, and the Guardians are no exception. With the clever use of a special mask and appropriate padding, he fooled everyone into thinking he was Immortal as part of an April Fools prank.
👽🗯:
20.
Okay then, so you know how we've basically established that we have no idea how Martian anatomy works? Well, I'd like to add to this problem by stating that if you play a certain frequency sound near Shapesmith, he wobbles. It doesn't hurt him, and there's deeper reason behind it, but his cells just... wobble. Look at him too long and you'll start to think that you're on drugs or something like that.
#thankk you Kay!!!#invincible#invincible show#invincible amazon#invincible oc#🦅🛡#Kyle Washington#👽🗯#shapesmith#my asks#sequids

where are they all going?
Jack's heart thudded out an unsteady rhythm against his ribs while his father dialed the deputy on the phone. The device rang and rang as the two of them held their breath. Nothing.
Jack and John-Edmond shared a worried glance. They were not the sort of father and son who usually saw eye to eye, but now they needed no words to convey what they were thinking. They were both fearing the same thing.
They were racing after another body.
Suddenly, the police car at the head of the line veered right at the next intersection, going farther into town rather than away, towards the Barrow. Confusion bowled them both over for a moment. Then, making the turn himself, John-Edmond hissed and threw his cellphone onto the dash as they caught sight of the Area 51 Motel and Comic Shop. Smoke curled from the burnt orange roof where its trademark UFO stood on one end in a near perfect ninety degree angle from the roof.
"Crash landing?" Jack said out loud before he could stop himself.
John-Edmond shot a warning glare in his son's direction before they parked and got out.
The sheer overflow of emergency vehicles currently crowding the fractured lot might have been a tad excessive, but in such a town as Asphodel Meadows where not many emergencies happened - barring recent history - the local teams tended to have an all or nothing approach. Already there were four officers, two EMTs, and the entire Meadows Fire Department gathered around the remains of room number eight of the Area 51 motel.
Louie Babinski, owner and proprietor and comic connoisseur, looked like he was about to go Mount Vesuvius on their Pompeii at any moment, so that's where Sheriff Halley headed first, his son a mere step behind him.
"Mr. Babinski-" he began and did not get far.
"Do you see what they've done? Do you see my motel?" Louie, a shorter and portly man with thinning black hair, had a thick Italian accent that only got heavier when he was upset. Right now, it was reaching Godfather proportions. "Look at it! A crater! And what do they expect me to do? Is it my fault her daughter is a nuclear bomb?"
"Slow down, Lou," John-Edmond urged. "You want to start by telling me exactly what happened?"
While Mr. Babinski spun an increasingly unintelligible story about waking that morning to the sound of his motel being torn asunder, Jack surveyed the scene from his father's shadow. By then the fire department had the door to room eight open, and he could see by the way light shafted down from the ceiling that the roof no longer existed in that portion of the building. Inside he could make out gutted queen mattresses and a box TV laying on its side on the floor.
The TV continued to play early morning cartoons as if nothing at all were wrong with the situation, but it looked just like a small bomb had detonated in the room. He couldn't understand how the TV was still functioning.
Then Jack felt the hairs on the back of his neck raise, and freezing in place, he turned his head to watch another truck roll to a stop at the edge of the overcrowded parking lot. Even if they hadn't become the center of town gossip along with him in the last few days, Jack would've recognized the Amory clan anywhere.
They dressed like lumberjacks on principal. People suspected them of everything from running a small cult to being overly-zealous doomsday preppers. But mostly they worked as caretakers over the local nature preserve and kept to themselves.
Now everyone was waiting for them to find the animal responsible for the recent attack. Local feeling towards preservation of wildlife only went as far as those things that didn't actively hunt their own. Now people wanted blood. An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth.
The Amory's, however, had yet to deliver.
Misha Amory, the bear of a family patriarch, stepped out first, followed by his oldest daughter, Katrina, and his younger brother, Fen. They didn't approach the scene, but rather stood and surveyed from a safe distance. With the ease of three people who knew they were the meanest thing in the room, they zeroed in on someone Jack had failed to notice.
The two Espinosa women, and the current occupants of room eight, stood in their pajamas in the mid-morning light and bickered back and forth with each other as if motel rooms falling in on their heads was a completely natural occurrence.
And this was just before Hazel Espinosa ducked under the arm of a firefighter, side-stepped a police officer, and elbowed another out of the way to dart back inside the half-collapsed motel room. Jack's jaw dropped as the emergency responders' shouting turned his father's attention from Louie's continued ranting, and he, too, noticed the commotion.
"Hazel! You come back here this instant!" Iris Espinosa - mother of two, widow, and professional saint - had, by ten thirty that morning, come to the end of her patience. And that was saying something.
Hazel, who had none of her mother's patience and all of her father's bull-headedness, reemerged from the demolished motel room, triumphantly holding a stuffed rabbit over her head. The thing looked ancient, one of those childhood toys that had been loved so well they'd worn smooth and loose and barely recognizable.
Jack was struck with fondness as he remembered his own Mister Squiggles, a stuffed octopus he'd carried around with him until he was nine. He admired Hazel's dedication to her childhood friend and wished he knew where Martha had squirreled away the purple octopus plush, knowing with full certainty she would've sooner died than let him or his father throw it out.
"Ma'am?" Sheriff Halley approached the two Espinosa women as if Hazel held a stick of dynamite rather than the Velveteen rabbit's slightly wilder looking cousin. "Can I ask you some questions about what happened here?"
Jack crept closer, still mostly unnoticed by everyone there because, as usual, there were more important things to focus on than Jack Halley.
"Yes, of course." Iris fanned herself with one hand. It was not in an effort to cool her face so much as her nerves. She kept pointing wickedly sharp glares at her daughter.
Hazel, however, was impervious.
"Do you know what happened here?" Sheriff Halley gestured vaguely in the direction of room eight.
"All I know for sure is that I woke up this morning to the ceiling caving in on my head." Iris hated to be untruthful, but seeing as she had very few real allies in Asphodel Meadows and Sheriff Halley was not among them, she felt she had no choice.
Later she would give herself a good scolding for not listening to her daughter and sleeping some place they knew would be quieter. Less likely to implode with Hazel's nightmares.
"We just got into town last night, you see." And as if to prove this, Iris gestured to their van, the trailer, the perpetually-humming box of bees.
Jack had wandered a bit too close to the hive in question and ducked as an errant honeybee flew at his head.
He met Hazel's eyes in the next moment and felt the same bowled-over confusion he had before when he realized they weren't heading out to the forest in search of a new corpse. A sort of jagged-edged relief and excitement. It wasn't entirely unpleasant, but it was unnerving.
And there was something else, too. Seeing as she had only just arrived the night before, Jack was sure that he had never met Hazel Espinosa in his life, and yet, he believed with every fiber that he had seen her face before.

Thoughts on Det Lou Ransone & go! :)
oh my gosh where do i even start?
tall! so tall! like why is he so tall? i’m pretty sure he’s the tallest person on the show at 6’5”. he’s a tree, he’s a mountain. i’m putting on my harness and getting ready to climb
TIDDIES. what more to say? i’d love to motorboat him. or caress! i can be gentle 😌
he’s only been in 6 episodes but he may be my favorite guest actor and i’d love to see more of him. (i know he’s not a first responder but i’d make an exception for him. he’s my guy!!)
the sass. how can you talk about my beloved lou without mentioning his eddie diaz-level sassy quips? i need him and eddie to meet. i just know they wouldn’t like each other at first (lou is immediately Not Impressed and eddie would never admit it, but he is the tiniest bit intimidated (and kinda turned on) by his intelligence wrt his job. and the way his shoulder holster accentuates his pecks. and his arms. and his shoulders! detectives are sexy ok?!) but then taylor would show up on the scene and they both—immediately and in complete unison—scoff and roll their eyes. then they look at each other with a smirk and just nod because they’ve found a comrade in their disdain for this woman. (oh my god am i about to write this fic? buck gets jealous because eddie found a new friend in Detective Beefcake?! 😜)
my guy survived an ear-to-ear throat slash from a ted bundy wannabe. he’s my hero 🥺🥰
arms arms arms. so big, so meaty, so capable. i know he could just pick me up with no effort and i wouldn’t stop giggling
#wow way to make me blush by asking me to talk about this man#this is my very niche corner of the fandom and i love it here#he’s just so…*puffs chest*…you know?#built like a log cabin or something#oh god now i’m imagining him as a lumberjack#lumberjack lou#oh no. oh no no no no what have i done#😰😰😰#lou and eddie chaotic besties#lumbering out in the forest#endless possibilities#911 fox#lou ransone#t answers#anon

No Spoons Left
Request: could you please write Lou x reader where she feels protected by you when your spooning her and her arms around around yours
Summary: Lou isn’t used to camping!
Characters: Lou Miller x gn!reader
Word Count: 1.5k
Warnings: Fluff! some lovely dove relationship communications
Camping with Lou was an abhorrent idea at first. You didn’t think she’d be able to get out of her high-fashion New York style to peruse the wilderness with you. You, on the other hand, were dying to get out of the city if only for a little while. And convincing your girlfriend to come along was easier said than done.
But then she had nicked a camper van and you found yourself bouncing with glee when she had agreed not to sell it, but to use it.
The trip to the campsite itself was without flaw. Lou drove carefully while you jabbered on about the excitement of being away from city-life again. Lou grinned from behind her large sunglasses as you bustled around in the back with the food and supplies.
It felt a bit cliché to go camping in the autumn with your girlfriend, bringing every plaid blanket you had, many marshmallows, and a tripod for blurry (but aesthetic) photos. The only thing missing would have been a large dog with non-stop slobber and matching bandanas.
Lou, begrudgingly, had to give up her chic street-style for a complete lesbian lumberjack look. Not that you complained. And then once you arrived, she had insisted she would put up the tent when you suggested to spend the first night outside of the van by the campfire. Now, you were leaning against the front of the vehicle, bemused from watching her fight with the tarp and connecting the frame.
Lou’s hair was pulled back with her fringe just brushing her eyelashes. She was wearing flannel and, heavens above, jeans with hiking boots. You grinned over your cup of hot chocolate as she sneered at the manual, kicking it to the side like a dad on a trip refusing to use directions and thus getting hopelessly lost.
“Let me help,” you offered again.
“Absolutely not.” She had too much pride to give in now, even though she had been struggling for close to an hour now.
“Babe, have you really gone camping before?” you asked.
“Totally. We just didn’t use tents back then. We endured the weather throughout the whole night regardless of the conditions.”
“Are you calling me a snowflake for wanting to have shelter in the night?” you scoffed.
“No, but I do think you’ve been way too pampered by the city,” she huffed. Ah yes, a lovely hypocritical response. You looked at your furry hiking boots and luxurious camping outfit and lifted her chin at her.
“I believe you mean pampered by my incessant gift-giving and spoiling girlfriend.”
“Guilty as charged.”
The tent eventually came together, quite sturdily. Dinner consisted of pre-cooked hot dogs and pre-packaged salads you had bought on the road. You already had a stash of canned soups, bread for sandwiches, and enough snacks to last you a life time, but tomorrow you wanted to try to go fishing and see if you could catch a meal that way, just for the sake of the ‘camping spirit’. If unsuccessful, there was a convenience store right by the camping grounds. You had to find a camping location with modern technology and access close by just for the sake of keeping Lou sane when you ran out of her favourite brand of ice tea.
You got in the tent for the night and were surprised by the space of it inside, but not so by the haphazard assembly of the frame, which stuck out in some places.
Lou followed in from behind you, wearing her silk pyjama set and grumbling incoherently. It was cute, you thought, but hopefully she’d cheer up soon otherwise this would be a lousy weekend.
“Lou, why on earth are you wearing that here? You’ll freeze during the night.”
“It’s the only thing I have to comfortably sleep in,” she muttered, shoving herself into a sleeping bag. “I’ll be fine.”
You grinned and settled in next to her, “you’ve never gone camping before, have you?”
She avoided your gaze and blew a piece of hair out of her face. “I’ve disguised myself as a camper before for a con. They seemed pretty convinced.”
You giggled, not trying to laugh at her sour expression. The camping trip was entirely your idea, and Lou would do anything you wanted just to make you happy. This one probably beat all the jewels and cash she stole for you, simply because you got to spend so much time with her without anyone else around you for once.
A twig snapped and the blonde biker shot up from her position, “What was that?”
“Probably just a raccoon. Don’t worry, I put all the food away.”
She seemed unsettled, which surprised you, “Lou, you live in New York where there’s unending noise happening outside. People yelling, cars honking. You’re not telling me you’re frightened of wildlife sounds?”
“Not frightened!” she quipped, a little too quickly to properly convince you. “It’s so much quieter here, and it’s weird.. What am I supposed to do, Y/N? Adjust to it in one night?” She was scowling again and punched her pillow before falling face first into it.
“Move over,” you eventually said, opening her sleeping bag from your side.
“We won’t fit.”
“Nonsense. I made sure it could fit two when I bought them.” You wriggled yourself further down, eventually feeling Lou’s freezing feet press up against your own.
“You didn’t have to come outside to sleep with me tonight. You could stay in the van if you want.”
“And admit to being a wimp in the outdoors? Over my dead body.”
There was another sound from outside, the screech of a fox this time, and her eyes widened. Her shoulders were shaking slightly. You didn’t know if it was from discomfort or the cold, but nonetheless you snuggled closer to her and wrapped your arms around her from behind.
“Hey I thought I was always the big spoon,” she retorted once she realized what you were doing. Despite her sharp words, her body melted and pressed into yours, gladly accepting the warmth and security you offered. All you did was hum and wormed yourself as close to her as possible.
“You’re impossible,” she grumbled, her voice slurring as she slowly drifted off to sleep. You grinned and kiss the back of her head, hugging her tightly as her hand reached up to grip your wrist before you fell asleep alongside her.
Lou woke up to the sound of a fire crackling and the smell of eggs and bacon. She wormed her way out of the tent while remaining inside the sleeping bag because it was still cozy from your warmth and smell.
You were crouching by the fire cooking breakfast and digging through the cooking supplies you had brought. And, well, you had hoped to heat up some soup for yourself to get started and get some energy for a hike today, but the deeper you dug into the cutlery bag, the more you found knives, forks, and nothing else.
“Lou, baby,” you sighed, looking up at the blonde shuffling out of the tent. “You were supposed to bring all the cutlery right?”
“Yeah, I did.”
“Did you really?”
Her eyes narrowed, “Why don’t you believe me?”
You held up the two bags marked forks and knives without saying anything. When it clicked, she groaned, folding her body into the sleeping bag and burying her face.
“Lucky for you we have at least one big spoon left,” you chortled, scooping out the bacon and eggs onto a plate for her.
“Very funny,” she grumbled. “What did you want to do today?”
“Fishing!”
She looked... you didn’t know the word, but the closest to her facial expression was aghast.
“Oh, Lou,” you sighed, sitting next to her as she ate. “Why did you agree to come if you clearly despise camping?”
“Because I’m trying to show interest in what you like, isn’t that what a good girlfriend does?”
“Sure, sure. But I also don't want to torture you into living in the outdoors for the weekend.”
“I’m trying,” she said again, digging her fork in the paper plate so roughly that it stabbed through.
“Do you wanna just grab a bite to eat for today? I saw a cafe on the way in.”
She looked at you with a conflicted gaze, wanting to say yes, but also wanting to do what you wanted first.
You nudged her with your arm, before continuing, “and then you can bring a hot latte to the shore to drink and watch while I go fishing?”
That made her smile. She sluggishly got out of the sleeping bag to rush to the van and get ready, the silk not saving her from the chilly night air.
“And on the way we can get some spoons!” you commented as you followed her into the van. Seconds later, her pyjama top slapped you in the face, and you giggled as you closed the van door behind you.
A/N: whoopdeedoo i finished it ahahahaa this idea did not go where it was first planned for but alas i digress pls enjoy

Drarry Tag Game
thank you @kbrick for the tag, this made for such a fun break!
✨ Drarry Tag Game! ✨ Answer any questions you’d like and ignore the rest!
When did you get into Drarry and why?
about three years ago I got back into the general concept of fandom with the goal to take fic as seriously (possibly more seriously) than I do mainstream publications and films. i got into drarry towards the end of march 2021!
Which Drarry fic hooked you?
i got into drarry because What We Pretend We Can't See was randomly recced on an episode of the hannigram podcast i listen to. i actually listened to the podfic before i read it - i put it on my phone, got my headphones on and walked for 18 kilometers straight listening to it. ah, the good old days.
Top three FOUR favorite Drarry fics THINGS: that's an impossible task but my most formative fics are Teenage Wasteland (and all of Galla's fics - i personally identify as her Draco actually), Still Warm, Still warm by @tsauergrass and TOOBK by @lou-isfake! And of course Saras_Girl just, as a spiritual guide. All of those sort of defined draco and harry as they appear in my head!
Why can’t you quit them?
part of the reasoning behind my mission of reading fic with the same respect as mainstream literature was realizing that a lot of my formative traits and personality was also derived from the fics i read as a teenager. these things mean something, they speak often more directly to the soul at large. i think drarry for me is the perfect model for redemption and recovery, the primary colors of my life. their love is touching to me, in every iteration. also they're very pretty.
Would you rather be friends with Harry or Draco?
my immediate response? draco, because i feel like we have more in common. my real response? harry, because we actually have more in common
Who breaks your heart more often?
who breaks your heart: harry, because he is often so harsh and blinded by his own rage and contempt for the world as it compares to the things in his head (tagged/me)
who does your heart break for: draco, because i want to take care of him
Ideal career for Harry? For Draco?
soft careers all the way! for draco: primary school teacher, pastry chef, writer (especially of cute or gentle things), librarian. i also adore smart!draco. for harry: shepard, lumberjack, primary school teacher, craftsman, chef. i also like it when he doesn't work! AAAB but auror is okay too occasionally
Harry and Draco are being sent to a desert island for a week with plenty of food and water. Each is allowed to bring three additional items (no wands). What do they bring?
just one: i hc that harry is very low maintenance luxe, so nike supreme stars dunks
Favorite non-Drarry HP character? ron and blaise <3 especially easy-going ron, you know the type, like FeelsForBreakfast's ron in Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon or ron in DorthyAnn's fics!
Would you rather read a fic that made you laugh or one that made you cry? fics rarely make me laugh, but I adore it when they do! but i'd rather read something that manages to make me sob honestly, it's just so cathartic
no presshh tagging @tackytigerfic @sweet-s0rr0w @rockingrobin69 @phoebe-delia @geesenoises and @makeitp1nk 💗 and whoever wants to do it, i'm so nosy
