no rules, breakable heaven
okay everyone there's no way i could have not done this song for this season like there's no way
let's imagine a happy shy easy going rendition of mc and will's time in the villa, who'd had more time together together aka they stuck together since the beginning <3 i want a cutesy innocent romance and who better than our resident islander who spends most of their time in the clouds :D title from cruel summer by taylor swift
cw: general fluff, happy moments in the sun, will takes pics of mc, lazy chill days like we want, little suggestive in the last bit but nothing scandalous, author using escapism because life is hard, open for all audiences
wc: 1.6k
it never gets less beautiful, you think, looking out towards the pool area of the villa from the outdoor bar. the perfect glimmer of the chlorinated water, the bright blue endless sky, the green faux grass and flawlessly placed lawn decor are all part of the experience. but, you know the real reason you love the pool, and took off to find it.
you handed will the pina colada, and he smiled at you gratefully before kissing your hand as they took the glass. your smile was warm, as was his face when you gently swiped over their cheekbone.
"cheeky." you'd said, laughing before settling on the lounger next to your partner, and they in turn hummed thoughtfully.
"you love it," he mumbled, turning slightly to face you and also because they wanted to face away from the sun for a bit. "thank you, by the way. for this," will said, lifting the glass before taking a sip. you looked at him before sighing happily, sipping your own drink as well. "'s no problem, babe. don't want you to have to lift a precious finger," you said jokingly, and will laughed before pulling their straw hat off to place onto your head.
you giggled as it fell over your eyes slightly, and before you knew it you heard the telltale -click- noise as your picture was taken. you faintly lifted the hat up to see will better, and they took another picture. you posed slightly, angling your glass as you both laughed by the pool together.
you rearranged the hat back on your head properly, and fully laid on the lounger. you looked over to see will going through the pictures, no doubt adding some to the album they'd been cultivating over the summer. just the day before, will had gone on the date with valentina, but you weren't worried in the slightest. part of you thinks the reason you two click so well is because of this- you make drinks, they lay down by the pool, you join your beautiful partner, and that's it. that's all you want it to be, that's all they want it to be, and that's that.
will turned to see you looking at them, and smiled cheesily as they caught you staring. "am i getting red?" he asked, and you shook your head. "you're getting a good tan, actually. just thinking that i'm pretty happy here, honestly. happy with you," you said simply, and they put down the phone to reach for your hand. "you're worth getting out of bed for, mc. thanks for choosing me," they'd said, and you two remained holding hands as you laid back in your respective loungers to catch some sun or some sleep.
Tumblr media
you were fine when will had said he'd considered cracking on with other people a few days ago, and told them you'd be happy if they found someone other than you who made him happy. all of this was a lie, obviously you didn't want your partner to be looking elsewhere, but there wasn't anything you could do and you were not going to beg him on national television to stay with you. but within five minutes, he sat himself down near your feet and didn't say anything.
according to will, within a few seconds of walking away they'd realized they'd made a mistake, and went right back to you.
when you got will to look you in the eye again, he had a very sad and watery look to them. "i almost ruined everything, mc," they said, and you pouted at him before putting two comforting hands on both of his shoulders. "babe. i'm not going to fault you for being curious. you tried it, you didn't like it, no harm done. we're fine!" you said sweetly, kissing the top of his head as they didn't reply.
a part of you knows that really, it would have always been like this. knowing will's flighty attitude, you were just surprised they didn't act on the impulse sooner. but, he was still here, and that's all that matters. you wanted to be supportive no matter what, and that's what you did.
Tumblr media
the night that cora and tom arrived and the whole villa had that party, you and will happily watched from the sides. you watched as everyone jumped and flailed about, overjoyed to see your friends having a good time.
"there's no way i could move that much." will said out of nowhere, and you laughed as you leaned back into him, their arms meeting in your front to hold you closer. you two swayed side to side at your own rhythm, content just to be people watching. "imagine how sore they're gonna be tomorrow babe. we could never," you said, feeling will laugh above you. "yeah. guess we're the only ones who plan ahead." they said, and you both giggled to yourself before will spun you around gently to face him.
"hey there," they said, raising your wrists to put them over his shoulders as the song changed to a slower pace. "hey yourself," you said back, and squealed slightly as will put his hands on your waist. "you always look so good under the moon. are you sure you didn't put a spell on me?" they asked, and you rolled your eyes comically before laughing a little. "are you saying i can only be pretty if i put a spell on you? and i thought we had something special," you said back, aware that you two were in your own little bubble which was dangerous in this game but you loved it nonetheless.
will smiled down at you, and you're sure your reflection looked just as his did. "you're everything to me mc. i hope you know that." they said softly, and you stuck your tongue out at him before resting your head on their chest as you continued swaying. "i know that. wouldn't want to be here with anyone else, hun." you said back, knowing he likes affirmation just as much as you do. they laughed, and you two didn't say anything after that, just taking everything in.
Tumblr media
you're not even sure what day today is, but it's particularly cloudy today so you and willem decided to sleep in- after brushing your teeth of course. but, you laid together still, arms wrapped up in one another as you smiled at each other. you ran your fingers through their hair, lightly twisting some into groups and laughing when he said it tickled. their hands were firm around your waist, chest to chest with them, and you had your head buried into the crook of his neck. you loved the way he smelled in the morning, which they thought was gross but still indulged you regardless.
you felt them gently scratching at your back, the slightest pressure as his hands wandered. your breathing slowed, soaking in the moment as your mind emptied. you hadn't realized you were humming until will giggled because the vibrations were tickling his ear. you both finally looked at each other, and you raised your hand to cup his cheek as you admired them. will's own hand reached up to cover yours, tattooed thumb rubbing over your knuckles as you two continued staring in your own state of paradise.
"i'm so glad to be here with you. everything is so easy, no bills, no deadlines, no noise complaints.."
"we can easily change that last one."
you two broke out into giggles, huddling into the other as you tried to catch yourselves. everyone else was in the kitchen eating breakfast, but the moment felt so intimate all the same. "i'm serious. you make it so easy... thank you. this is all i ever wanted."
you preened, batting your lashes at your partner as you flipped your hair over your shoulder. "'s what i do babes, glad someone appreciates me around here," you said, breaking character almost immediately as will tackled you into his arms yet again. you both laughed again, a little louder and unabashedly. he pressed kisses all over your face, leaving no spot un-kissed as you could only shriek and giggle in defense.
"you." "are." "too." "cute." each word punctuated with another kiss- "please, have mercy! this moisturizer was expensive!" you pleaded, still playful as will finally pulled back. finally your lips met and you both practically melted, sighing dreamily as you pulled away.
they were surprisingly energetic at the moment, but you still appreciated it and let it happen. he smiled at you, before kissing you once more. you felt them smile during the kiss, lips parting slightly as your tongues found each other in the middle. your hands found their way into his hair again, beginning to slightly pull- but just as you moved to wrap one leg around his waist they groaned, pulling away breathlessly.
"i take back what i said earlier. you are dangerously seductive and i need to keep an eye on you." they said, breathing hard as your gazes met. "babe, you haven't seen anything yet. wait until i get my hands on some candle wax and a feather" you said, and he burst into laughter. "okay, okay, whatever you say. shall we get up?"
"mmm, ten more minutes. that was very exciting and i'm very tired," you said, and tugged on his pant leg as you fully laid down again, and they got the message- your legs slotted between each other, cuddled up as your limbs crossed over the other's. your head rested against will's chest, one of their tattooed arms resting protectively across you as you both fell asleep once more.
MEOWWWW tbh almost got a little carried away on that paragraph im tired of hiding that im crazy yall 😩😩 anywaysssss most of my drafts are sad or regretful or unrequited-y so im trying to mix it up LOL ... enjoy im returning to my willem route slowly guys nature is healing (literally wrote this in ten minutes at work)

Congratulations, game. You really did subvert my initial expectations with the really-not-all-that-horny vampire and the totally sensible weed Dad figure and Mr. Gale "I'm totally into the fact you haven't taken in a bath in 2 weeks and I read a book about about being turned on by deadly danger and let's have astral projection 4-way sex with only 2 people in outer space and you look good jogging around the city in strappy bondage gear" Dekarios.
Not complaining. I was just surprised, that's all. I love having my expectations subverted.

(TW POLICE VIOLENCE)
France has been feeling like a police state this week, there were 5000 cops deployed in Paris yesterday (watch this video and tell me this is a normal amount of cops and they're behaving normally) and they keep acting like they have total immunity*, to beat up protesters, to arrest protesters, or just random people walking in the vicinity of a protest. My 70+-year-old dad tried to go to a peaceful protest and had to abandon the idea because of all the tear gas being used by police.
*Which they do—as Le Monde pointed out, the cops who are violent risk nothing because they can't be identified because almost none of them wear their identification number even though it's supposed to be mandatory. They're not being penalised for not wearing them, so why should they?
If you can stomach it, please have a look at the photos and videos on this Twitter account documenting French police brutality against protesters—as I write this, the most recent tweet is about a journalist who was beaten up by a BRAV-M cop* using his steel baton; he had his head cracked open and his hand broken.
(* BRAV-M is a motorised repression corps—cops on bikes—a unit that was dissolved in 1986 after some of them beat a student to death, who wasn't even attending a protest but walking near one. Macron changed the unit's name, from Voltigeurs to BRAV-M, and reestablished it to suppress the Yellow Vests protests. This week, a BRAV-M cop deliberately drove over a 19-year-old's leg at a protest after chasing him on his bike. The victim said he heard a cop say to others "Smash him." Another BRAV-M punched a protester unconscious on March 20. And today Le Monde published an article about BRAV-M cops being recorded bragging about "breaking elbows and faces.")
In Paris last week the CRS arrested a 14-year-old kid because they took him for a dangerous black bloc protester I guess?? A child spent a night in police custody without knowing why. They've also arrested several 15 / 16 year-olds. Let's teach the youth what happens when you exercise your right to protest!
On March 16th in Paris, within one evening, they arrested 292 people, and 283 were released without charges, which means they're mass-arresting people for peaceful protests as a strategy of intimidation. The student I mentioned in my post the other day, who spent 48 hours in custody and was eventually charged for refusing to have his DNA samples taken and filed, asked the cops why they were arresting him + 4 other people who were walking down the same street and they said "Because you look like fucking leftists."
The government tells us "We fully support our brave police forces" when the cops are arresting people for "looking like leftists." How are we still a democracy? The guy also mentioned that during the time he spent at the police station, the police was mostly arresting Maghrebis, though they made an exception for him, a Black guy. There are videos from the past week of cops beating up women, tear gassing protesters in the face from 20cm away, kicking protesters in the face when they're already on the ground, crushing their heads under their boot, brutalising a homeless man and old ladies, tear gassing crowds with young children in them. I'm having trouble finding links to these specific incidents I remember because there are so many videos circulating.
Look at this video, they're violently striking the back of people's heads with steel batons even when the protesters are already going in the direction they're told to. The little old lady shoved around and trying to protect her head from the strikes is breaking my heart.
Surely at the point when enforcers of state authority are arresting middle schoolers, beating up citizens for exercising their rights and gassing and pepper spraying elderly people, children and babies in strollers, the government might want to make some sort of statement condemning this state of affairs, but instead they have been telling us they're proud of & grateful for their police forces, which of course angers people and makes protests more violent. The Minister of the Interior, who supervises the police, praises them wholeheartedly and excuses all instances of deliberate brutality as 'isolated incidents' due to 'tiredness'.
Here's a thread in English describing a protester's experience—"Yesterday (March 23) the level of arbitrary police violence clearly leveled up. I was tear gassed three times without being able to move in a very dense crowd; policemen took advantage that people were unable to move more than 20cm to pounce on us and bludgeon us in a totally arbitrary manner." (you can see an example of this behaviour in this video from a different protest)
Yesterday, after a day of nationwide protests that brought a fresh new wave of video evidence of cops beating up protesters and making reckless use of tear gas—at the end of a day when a special ed teacher at a protest got her thumb torn off by a tear gas grenade—this is what the French Prime Minister said:
Tumblr media
They're not even trying to play it off like "both sides made mistakes" they're telling us they condone everything the police is doing, that this is what they're deploying them for:
Tumblr media
(screencap from this video)
Tumblr media
(this is from this video, in which you can hear a woman screaming "Stop it! You're strangling him! You have no right! I'm filming you!" The cops don't seem to care about being filmed. They're beating up citizens with the government's full blessing after all.)
Macron's government is trying to intimidate people into giving up their right to protest, by deploying cops in huge numbers and publicly voicing complete support for their behaviour, by allowing them to beat and arrest hundreds of people and to use tear gas indiscriminately. Tear gas has been completely normalised as a means of state violence, it's very practical that it doesn't leave traces of blood or broken bones I guess, but it's still violence, it burns, it's a chemical whose effects on people's health we don't know a lot about.
Tumblr media
^ Paris (from this vid; caption: "one tear gas grenade after the other")
Macron condescendingly told us there's no "magic money" which is why the pension reform is needed, but he did find the money to stockpile these apparently unlimited amounts of tear gas grenades to suppress protests against his reform to make poor people work longer.
Tumblr media
^ Nantes (screencap from a vid in which the cops throw three or four grenades at once and you can hear people say "oh come on, seriously? this is crazy. Why? go fuck yourselves" in a tired tone)
We've also found out yesterday that three Corsican MPs were pressured not to support the Assembly's no-confidence vote against the government—by being told if they didn't vote it, a teaching hospital would be built in Corsica.
The island of Corsica is the only region of France that doesn't have a teaching hospital; due to lack of medical resources Corsicans often have to travel to mainland France for healthcare. Just last month the Minister of Health said sorry, still no teaching hospital for Corsica, it's just not possible right now. Then last week some "magic money" was apparently found to build it but only if the Corsican MPs didn't support the no-confidence vote. I know this kind of thing isn't exactly unique in politics but Macron has been slashing hospital budgets to the point that 20% of French hospital beds are closed due to lack of staff, and he used the health of 340,000 French citizens as a bribe to save his ass. The three Corsican MPs ended up voting in favour of the no-confidence vote despite of that, as it was what their constituents wanted (honour to them). Macron's government survived the no-confidence vote by only 9 votes.
Whatever legitimacy Macron has as a President right now is being clung to by MP corruption and police repression. How do we move forwards knowing that, I don't know. How does he have legitimacy to govern on any issues after the way he handled this reform and the following protests? His police forces are drowning city centres in tear gas, a chemical whose effect on birds and other fauna is not known, and we're supposed to listen to him talk about the environment? They're wasting thousands of litres of water using water cannons to disperse protesters, and we're supposed to listen to him talk about low groundwater levels and how we need to save water? I was going to say, what about his legitimacy abroad but other Western governments don't seem too bothered so far by his handling of the protests—though I'm grateful that Amnesty International did condemn it, and that a Belgian deputy made a speech in Parliament this week asking his government to condemn Macron's use of violent police repression.
[Wait, I just saw that as I was writing this post, the Council of Europe condemned the "excessive use of force" in France. Saying that 'sporadic acts of violence' of some protesters can't 'justify the excessive use of force by agents of the State' or 'deprive peaceful protesters of their right to freedom of assembly'. This is the opposite framing as the one our government is standing by—sporadic acts of violence by cops that are either justified or excusable—it's refreshing.]
Between that and Charles III cancelling his visit (and lots of tourists cancelling trips to Paris which is bound to piss off the tourism industry) and our own media waking up and starting to talk about the government's brutality, I hope Macron starts being held accountable. He has been fanning the flames of this crisis at every turn, by telling us that the crowds protesting in the street have 'no legitimacy', by sending cops to break strikes even though striking is a Constitutional right (but the only part of the Constitution he cares about is the one that starts with 49.3), by condemning the protesters when asked to condemn police violence—saying "When [protesters] use violence, unregulated, absolute, we're no longer in a Republic." I agree, but he's describing himself.
When you resort to using article 49.3 to bypass the National Assembly for the 11th time this term to impose a reform that 70% of the country is against (and 93% of working people) that will force the poorer classes of the population to work longer, and your only response to people's distress at being told to work until they die is to force them to accept it by allowing your police forces to beat up protesters, to arrest them and to gas them, you have failed as a democratic leader.
The next organised protest and strike is next Tuesday (if you want to give something to the strike solidarity fund, here it is); in the meantime spontaneous protests are still erupting pretty much every day and cops are getting burnt out (good! There are fun videos from yesterday's protests of cops accidentally tear gassing one another, or a police car accidentally running into another as people laugh and clap.) And yes some protesters are getting more extreme and destructive, but Macron is the one choosing to stand by his reform at all costs and let this country burn. And when I look at what we're being expected to tolerate and to normalise, I'm kind of proud that French people's gut reaction was "burn it all."
Tumblr media
Some popular Twitter hashtags for the protests:
#ToutCramer - Burn everything #CensurePopulaire - People's no-confidence vote #MacronDémission - Macron resign #OnLâcheRien - We won't cede an inch.

I wished to indulge, so I commissioned one of my favorite artists in the fandom @spectra-bear to do a sketch of Replica Donnie and Casey Jr. Just look at them! I’m still crying! Azzy did such an amazing job! Can’t wait to let these two get some time together in the comic, at least via Omega! People ask me if Donnie will even have an impact on Casey like he has in Cass' timeline and I can assure you, the impact will be there.
Azzy is doing commissions again as of posting this so I highly recommend getting one while you can. Quality art!

I love the QSMP. Not only has it introduced me to many amazing international creators, it's also introduced me to the French and Brazilian community, who are so sweet, funny, and chaotic in their own unique ways. I love seeing fans sharing their culture and learning from one another, and I myself have learned a lot this past year. I think it's incredible how QSMP brings so many different people together – all of us united in our love and passion for this project and its goals.
But passion can often evoke strong emotions, and these strong emotions aren't always positive.
The past few months, I have seen multiple waves of hate, bad-faith generalizations of communities, and racist remarks directed at fellow fans – especially those who are part of the French / Brazilian community. This kind of behavior is inexcusable, and is in direct conflict with the mission of QSMP, which is to break language barriers and unite communities.
We are a global community with a variety of people from different backgrounds. Miscommunications may occasionally occur because of cultural differences and/or language barriers, but we should use these moments as opportunities to learn and engage with other people rather than assuming the worst about them and starting fights.
Although certain issues can be resolved with communication, sometimes it’s better to block and move on. Avoid spreading negativity or hate, and save yourself the headache of interacting with people who are just looking for someone to argue with.
No matter what community we're a part of or what languages we speak, we're all here to have fun. Please remember to be kind to each other. We have more in common than we have in conflict.
