ARRANGED WEDDING.

JOEY BADA$$ x BLACK!FEM!OC

SUMMARY: in which Valentina lives in the world of old money and has to be set up into an arranged marriage the moment she turns 25. the problem, however, is that the man she gets set up to marry just so happens to be the one she can't stand. ✨

❦

"𝗬'𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝘾𝘼𝙉𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝗕𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗨𝗦 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗪." Valentina scoffed, shaking her head, as she looked at her parents and let out a chuckle in amusement, tucking a strand of her black tresses behind her ear while she crossed her arms across her chest.

"we're as serious as can be, honey. your brother and sister were set up in arranged marriages and now it's your turn," Magnolia, Valentina's mother, explained as she looked at her daughter across from her, "you're 25, Val. and you know what that means."

coming from "old money" wasn't as great as it may have looked on the outside. sure, you never had to worry about going broke or not having enough money to pay for bills and other things, but in order to continue the legacy of your father and expand his business, you had to be set up in an arranged marriage, and nobody wants to be set up in an arranged marriage, especially when you didn't get to pick your partner.

what if they weren't your type? what if you couldn't get along with them? what if the both of you had different goals in life and couldn't bond together because of them?

many questions were asked whenever the next child had to be married off, but their parents always responded with the same thing: "you'll grow to love them over time."

first, it was Vincent — Valentina's older brother — who had to get married off. then, it was Vena — Valentina's older sister — who was after him. and now it was finally Valentina's turn, and she wasn't exactly thrilled at the thought of an arranged marriage, but it wasn't like she had any choice.

it was a traditional requirement for her family, and she'd eventually have to pass it down to her children just like her parents did to theirs.

"yeah, i know," Valentina sighed, crossing her legs, as she rested her hand on her temple and gently massaged it, "can i at least know who i'm getting married to?"

"Jo-Vaughn Scott. his father is just as successful as me, if not more, and it'd be great help for my business to grow much larger than it already is." Richard, Valentina's father, answered as Valentina's brows furrowed and she let out a humorless laugh, shaking her head while she looked away from her parents and looked down at the coffee table in front of her.

"of course, i have to marry him. out of allll people... him." Valentina mumbled, pinching the bridge of her nose, as her eyes closed and she let out a heavy sigh.

Jo-Vaughn and Valentina weren't exactly a "match made in heaven" like her parents wanted them to be. in fact, she couldn't stand Jo-Vaughn. from the way he acted, she viewed him as an arrogant jackass who thinks just because he's good-looking and rich that he could have any and every girl that he saw as attractive, and Valentina was one of those girls. sure, he was charming and a big flirt, but nothing could compare to how irritating he was.

sometimes Valentina thought he did annoyed her on purpose just to see her reaction, and to be honest, she still does. but the thought of being married to him was something she couldn't bare to think about.

"don't be like that, Val, he's a good kid! he's well-educated, handsome, charming, a sweetheart, can cook, a caretaker — he's the perfect match for you. at least we considered his traits before setting you up to marry him," Magnolia explained, a small smile on her face, as Richard chuckled and Valentina looked over at the two with a blank stare, "and you might as well wipe that look off your face because him and his parents are coming over for dinner tonight, and you're gonna be here."

"i—" Valentina parted her lips to protest against the dinner plans, but she cut herself off with a chuckle as she shook her head and leaned back against the couch, "what time is dinner?"

"8 o'clock sharp. i expect you to be there in your best attire."

"oh, i'll be there."

—

ringing the doorbell of her parents' home, Valentina looked down at her dress and smoothed out the wrinkles in it as the door swung open and her head raised, revealing her mother while she looked at her daughter with a smile.

"oh, Val, you look so beautiful, sweetheart!" Magnolia smiled, looking at her outfit, as she stepped to the side and gave her room to walk in, making Valentina smile while she let out a soft chuckle.

"i had a little help from Vena because i didn't know what to wear," Valentina chuckled, walking into the house, as the clack of her heels sounded off against the wood floor and she adjusted her breasts in the folded down top, "but i'm glad you like it, mama."

"you arrived at such a good time, Jo-Vaughn's mother just called and told me that they're on their way." Magnolia smiled, closing and locking the front door, as she grabbed Valentina's hand and led her to the dining room, the smile on Valentina's face slightly dropping at the mention of Jo-Vaughn while she followed behind her mother.

"how amazing," Valentina fake smiled, her voice holding fake enthusiasm, as she looked at the layout of the dining room table, "where's Dad? and which seat is who's because i know you set up some kinda' seating arrangement like you always do."

"he's upstairs. you know he takes longer gettin' ready than any of us do," Magnolia chuckled, earning a laugh from Valentina, as Magnolia walked towards the end of the table and adjusted the tablecloth, "we'll sit on this side and they'll sit across from us. you'll be in the middle and so will Jo-Vaughn, so he'll be sitting directly across from you."

"it just continues to get worse," Valentina mumbled, her phrase unheard from her mother's ears, as she heard someone clear their throat and she turned around, seeing her father stand at the doorway, "hey, Dad, i was just askin' about you."

"your mama said something smart about me still being upstairs, didn't she? i already know she did, you ain't gotta' tell me," Richard chuckled, causing Valentina to laugh, as she walked over to him and gave him a hug, wrapping her arms around his torso while he wrapped his around her shoulders, "you look beautiful, Val. i'm sure Vena helped with that, right?"

"she was always better at figuring out what to wear than i was." Valentina chuckled, pulling away from her father's embrace, as the doorbell rang and Valentina immediately tensed up while Magnolia smiled and softly squealed.

"that's them! okay, you two go sit down and i'll go get the door." Magnolia smiled, walking out of the dining room, as Valentina and Richard made their way to the table and Richard pulled out Valentina's chair, watching his daughter sit down in it while he pushed her up to the table.

hearing Magnolia greet Jo-Vaughn and his family, Valentina cringed and her legs crossed underneath the table as she looked down at her dress, beginning to regret coming to the dinner. her siblings didn't have to get married to someone they despised, so why should she? though she knew she didn't have a say in who she'd be married to, she wished they would've picked someone other than the most cockiest and irritating man known to mankind.

and she'd have to get married to that? oh, her life would be hell after that wedding.

hearing multiple footsteps lead into the room, Valentina greeted Jo-Vaughn's parents and spoke to them as politely as she could, despite disliking their son. as she conversed with Kimberly — Jo-Vaughn's mother — she couldn't help but feel a burning stare on the side of her face, and as she wrapped up the conversation, her eyes averted to Jo-Vaughn, who was staring so hard at her that his gaze could've burned a hole into her face.

as she greeted him, there was this smugness in his voice as he spoke, and Valentina didn't know if she was only one who noticed it or not, but most likely she was. while the family sat down at the table, Magnolia rushed off to the kitchen to grab the meal she prepared for dinner while Kimberly and Denzel — Jo-Vaughn's father — spoke to Richard, and Valentina assumed it was about business because she was starting to tune out every word they were saying.

"why did i agree to come to this? i should've just acted like i was sick or somethin'." Valentina thought as she looked up from her empty plate and locked eyes with Jo-Vaughn, a smirk crossing his dark-skinned face while Valentina rolled her eyes at him.

"dinner is served, everyone!" Magnolia smiled, coming back from the kitchen, as she sat the dishes of various foods in the middle of the table and walked over to her chair, pulling the seat out and sitting down in it while she scooted up to the table, "before we eat, i'd like to lead us in prayer, if you guys don't mind."

everyone around the table held hands and bowed their heads, listening to Magnolia talk to God and asking Him to bless the food they were about to eat. as she listened to her mother's prayer, Valentina began a separate prayer to God in her head and asked Him to grant her the blessing of patience because she knew she'd need it tonight dealing with Jo-Vaughn, especially since she wanted to make a good impression for his parents.

she might not like him, but she would rather show it in private than be seen as a rude person in public, especially since it could affect her father's business.

"in Jesus name we pray, Amen."

"Amen."

—

"...thank you, i'm glad you liked it," Magnolia smiled, thanking Kimberly for the compliment on her meal, as she looked over at Valentina and parted her lips to speak, "Val, you mind cleaning the table up for me? i wanna show Kimberly some of my achievements."

"yeah, mama, i will." Valentina smiled politely, pushing her chair in, as she grabbed her mother's plate and reached to grab Kimberly's plate before a hand suddenly grabbed it for her.

"i'll stay and help you." Jo-Vaughn smiled, looking at the woman, as Valentina looked up at him and smiled, fighting the urge to roll her eyes while she looked down at the table once again.

"thank you, Jo-Vaughn, you're so sweet." Valentina smiled, internally gagging from the words that left her mouth, as Magnolia and Kimberly left the room and Valentina quickly picked up her and her father's plates while she grabbed the pot the pasta was in, making her way to the kitchen and carefully placing the dishes in the soapy dishwater that sat inside the large sink.

"you complimenting me now, huh?" the sound of Jo-Vaughn's voice made Valentina jump and she glanced back at him over her shoulder as she rolled her eyes.

"don't get used to it, alright? i already can't stand you, so don't make it worse with being irritating," Valentina retorted, walking away from the sink, as she attempted to walk past Jo-Vaughn but was stopped by his arm wrapping around her waist and pulling her towards him, "get the f— get off me!"

"you know i love to see you mad at me, princess," Jo-Vaughn smirked, biting down on his bottom lip, as two of his dreads swung in his face and the rest sat up in a ponytail while Valentina writhed in his grip and both of his arms wrapped around her to keep her close to him, "that's not any way to treat your future husband, is it, pretty?"

'princess' was Jo-Vaughn's nickname for Valentina because he believed her parents treated her as one, especially since she was the youngest. her coming from old money and being born into riches was also an addition to the nickname because her house was as big as a castle in a fairytale and it reminded Jo-Vaughn of princesses in old Disney movies, so her being called 'princess' was practically inevitable.

"just because we're gonna be married doesn't mean i have to like you, Jo-Vaughn." Valentina grumbled, narrowing her eyes at the man, as she rested her hands on his chest and attempted to remove herself from his arms but to no avail.

"one day you gon' love me, princess. and when it happens, i won't be surprised," Jo-Vaughn chuckled, kissing her forehead, as he removed his arms from her waist and stepped back from her to observe her attire, "you look too good in that dress to be doin' dishes, mama. go take a seat and get off ya feet, i'ma take care of all this."

—

FOUR MONTHS LATER.

"...enjoy yourself, gorgeous!" Valentina smiled, waving a guest goodbye, as she walked through the crowd of people and made her way to her friends — Kassidy and Simone — and her sister, smoothing out the ruffles in her dress along the way due to it getting bunched up from how much she was moving.

over the course of just four months, it was like Valentina had went through a roller coaster of events and emotions. first, Jo-Vaughn proposed to her, which still leaves an achy feeling in her stomach to this day. then, she was forced to quit her job by her parents because now that she was engaged and soon-to-be married, she "shouldn't be working." next, her and Jo-Vaughn's parents went half on a large house for the two to live in together and they were forced to sell their old homes because they "wouldn't need them anymore." after all of that, the two got married — which happened earlier today — and they were currently at their reception — which just so happened to take place at their new home.

it was a lot to adjust to at just one time, and it was extremely difficult for her to do, but she had no choice but to adjust to them because she had no say in anything that was happening, and she was sure her siblings felt the same way she did when it was their turn to get hitched.

"y'all, i don't know how much more of this i can take." Valentina sighed, shaking her head, as she grabbed a glass of Champagne from the platter in front of her and took of a sip of it.

"trust me, i know that feeling. i'm just glad mine is over with." Vena chuckled, rubbing her shoulder, as Kassidy chuckled in agreement and Simone let out a sigh.

"if this is what it feels like to set up to be married, i don't wanna turn 25 anymore." Simone declined, shaking her head, as Valentina downed the glass of Champagne and grabbed another, causing the trio of women to laugh at her.

"no, this is what it feels like to be set up to marry somebody you can't stand." Kassidy chuckled, earning laughs from Vena and Simone, as Valentina groaned and shut her eyes, resting her forehead against her palm while she caressed her temples.

"and i had to kiss this man... in front of everybody... man, i almost threw up," Valentina complained, taking another sip of the white wine, as Kassidy snickered and Vena shook her head, "speaking of him, have y'all seen him? i haven't seen him since we got here, and that was almost an hour ago."

"i ain't seen him. girl, i lost my own husband when i got here." Vena chuckled as Kassidy laughed in agreement and Simone let out a giggle while she pushed her hair behind her ear.

"tell me about it. as soon as we walked in, it was like he ditched me. i guess he love his friends more than me." Kassidy joked, playfully shrugging her shoulders, as Vena laughed and Valentina chuckled, shaking her head at the two and taking a small sip of the wine in her hand so she wouldn't get too intoxicated due to the fact that this was her second glass.

"...Val, ain't that him right there?" Simone questioned, causing Valentina to open her eyes and raise her head from her hand, as Simone subtly gestured towards Jo-Vaughn and a woman that was clearly flirting with him, the woman enticingly running her fingers down the male's arm and causing all four of the women to stare at the interaction with different reactions on their faces.

Vena was skeptical, Kassidy was repulsed, Simone was confused, and Valentina was... jealous? sure, she might've been married to him, but she didn't think that'd change how she felt about him. something about seeing him with another woman who wanted him angered her, and if she wasn't sure if it was because they were married or if it was her repressed feelings beginning to surface for the first time.

but whatever it was, the feeling was strong, and it took everything in Valentina not to show how upset she truly was.

"i'll be back." Valentina spoke flatly, no emotion in her voice, as she downed the rest of the wine in her glass and sat it on the platter with the other one, walking away from her friends and her sister before they could utter a word to her about the change in her demeanor.

wiping the corners of her mouth with her thumb, Valentina ran her tongue over her lips to remove any excess Champagne that may have rested there as she approached Jo-Vaughn and the unknown woman, a fake smile finding its way onto herself the closer she got to the conversing pair.

"hi, honey, i was looking all over for you," Valentina smiled, fake enthusiasm in her voice, as she grabbed Jo-Vaughn's hand and subtly moved his arm back from the woman's reach, entwining their fingers and kissing his cheek while she looked over at the woman in front of him, "who's this?"

"hey, baby. this is Arianna, she's the daughter of one of the dads that work with mine," Jo-Vaughn introduced, a smile on his face, as he looked down at Valentina and kissed her temple while he looked over at Arianna, "Arianna, this is Valentina, my beautiful wife."

"it's nice to finally meet you! i've been hearing so much about you, i couldn't wait until i saw your face," Arianna smiled, holding her hand, as Valentina gave the woman a fake smile and shook her hand with her unoccupied one, "you're a very lucky woman to have someone like Jo-Vaughn."

"and he's a very lucky man to have someone like me," Valentina smiled, removing her hand from Arianna's grasp, as she secretly wiped her palm on the hem of her dress and she looked up at Jo-Vaughn, "Jo-Vaughn, can i talk to you for a minute?"

before Jo-Vaughn could respond, Valentina walked away from the woman with his hand in hers, practically pulling him away from her while she headed straight for the staircase. saying 'excuse me' and 'pardon me' whenever she bumped into the partygoers, Valentina made her way up the stairs with Jo-Vaughn behind her, her jaw clenched and a mug sitting comfortably on her face now that no one could see her.

walking into their bedroom, Valentina's grip tightened on Jo-Vaughn's hand and she yanked him into the room, shutting and locking the door behind them while she turned to face him with her arms crossed across her chest.

"damn, what you yankin' on me for?—"

"what the fuck was that? huh?" Valentina asked angrily, raising a brow, as Jo-Vaughn looked at her in confusion and his brows furrowed, "we ain't even been married for 24 fuckin' hours yet and you already flirtin' with other bitches? in front of me? at our reception? is that what we doin'?"

"Val, what are you—"

"you lettin' these thirsty ass bitches touch on you, Jo-Vaughn?! huh?! nigga, you 'posed to be my fuckin' husband and you thottin' already?! what the fuck is your problem?!" Valentina exclaimed, stepping close to him, as she grabbed the collar of his white Polo shirt and gently pulled him down to her level, "i don't want that bitch here no more, you hear me? you better go tell yo' dad to get her outta' here or i'ma tell mine. either way it goes, i want that bitch escorted off my muh'fuckin' property. i'm not fuckin' playin' with you, Jo-Vaughn, you got that?"

Jo-Vaughn remained silent as he stared into the woman's eyes, seeing a side of her he's never witnessed before. Valentina's stare was firm and cold, and she was determined to get this "Arianna" bitch out of their home, no matter how long it took. as long as she left, that's all that mattered to her, even if she had to be thrown out instead of leaving peacefully.

she couldn't hide how she felt any longer. yes, she was jealous. yes, she was mad as hell. yes, she wanted to whup her ass. and yes, she has feelings for Jo-Vaughn. she suppressed them because she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing she was feeling him, but to see another woman flirt with him after she had just gotten married to him was her first and final straw.

she wasn't going for it, and if her sister or her mother was in her shoes, they wouldn't be going for it either.

"Valentina," Jo-Vaughn began, letting out a soft chuckle, as he removed her hands from the collar of his shirt and raised a brow at her, "princess, i know you not jealous."

"i'm not fucking jealous," Valentina retorted, snatching her hands from his grip, as she raised her right index finger and poked his chest with it, "no bitch should be at my fucking wedding reception touching my fucking husband and playing dumb in my fucking face like i'm some slow bitch. i'll stomp that bitch out with these muh'fuckin' heels on, Jo-Vaughn, stop fuckin' playin', nigga."

"mama, you jealous. just admit it," Jo-Vaughn smirked, a mischievous glint in his eyes, as he attempted to grab her hands again but Valentina backed away from him, making him follow her movements until she eventually backed up against a wall, "seein' her touch me made you mad, didn't it? watchin' her flirt with me pissed you off... right? admit that shit and own up to it, Val."

something about witnessing Valentina be jealous and possessive over him made him feel like he was on top of the world. after her denying her attraction for him for so long, who would've known that all it took was for her to see another woman flirting with him? knowing she secretly cared about him made him wanna continue to poke and prod at her until she admitted it out loud, and judging by how upset she was, she had surely reached her limit on how much bullshit she could take.

"i'm fuckin' jealous, a'ight?" Valentina exclaimed, looking up at the man, as her back rested against the cream-colored wall and she crossed her arms, "no other woman should be talkin' to you or flirtin' with you if it's not me! no other woman should be touchin' you if it's not me! if it ain't me, the bitch gotta' go, and that's that! so like i said, you better tell ya father to get that ho up outta' here or i'ma tell her myself—"

Valentina was cut off by Jo-Vaughn smashing his lips onto hers, and she immediately returned the passionate kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck, his arms slithering around her waist and picking her up by her thighs while he pressed her further onto the wall. the kiss was rough and intense yet filled with love and lust, and Valentina deepened the kiss as she slightly tilted her head, her legs sitting around her husband's slim waist while her core began to ache with desire.

"i'll do whatever you want me to as long as you keep talkin' to me like that." Jo-Vaughn mumbled in the kiss, referring to her possessive and demanding behavior, as Valentina groaned in desire against his lips and one of her hands slipped between their connected bodies, grabbing his belt buckle and beginning to unbuckle it.

"then shut up and fuck me," Valentina muttered, unbuttoning his khaki dress pants, as Jo-Vaughn helped her pull them down and Valentina reached into his boxers, her fingertips wrapping around his hardened length while Jo-Vaughn softly grunted at the feeling, "i got you this hard, baby?"

"it's hard not to get turned on with yo' fine ass being possessive over me," Jo-Vaughn answered lowly, pulling away from the kiss, as the adults panted at the lack of air they experienced due to the lengthy kiss and Jo-Vaughn rested his forehead against hers, "you don't know what the fuck you do to me, girl."

"yeah? how 'bout you show me?" Valentina smirked softly, biting down on her lip, as she stroked his length in his boxers before tugging them down with his help, "we got a few minutes before they start lookin' for us, so you better fuck me like you mean it, Joey."

"demanding ass. shit, yes ma'am," Jo-Vaughn joked, making Valentina let out a soft laugh, as Jo-Vaughn slipped his hand underneath her dress and pulled her panties to the side, "put it in since you wanna tease me and shit."

"with pleasure." Valentina's grip slightly tightened on Jo-Vaughn's phallus as she placed him at her entrance, slowly working him inside of her while he pushed some of his length into her as well. Valentina's jaw slightly dropped at the feeling of being stretched out and a soft gasp fell from her lips as she felt Jo-Vaughn push more of his dick inside of her and she let go of it, her hands gripping his shoulders while a groan fell from Jo-Vaughn's lips at her walls hugging him like a glove.

"you feel so fucking good." Jo-Vaughn practically moaned, his brows furrowing, as Valentina whimpered and her eyes rolled back, her lips sitting ajar while she rested her head against the wall.

Jo-Vaughn's hips moved at a slow pace so Valentina could get adjusted to his length and moans and groans of pleasure continued to emit from their parted lips as Jo-Vaughn grabbed one of her legs and lifted it onto his shoulder, causing a loud moan to come from Valentina's lips at him suddenly hitting her g-spot.

"a-ah, Daddy, right there!" Valentina whimpered loudly, feeling his pace pick up speed, as her brows furrowed and her grip tightened on his shoulders, feeling his lips trail kisses down her jawline while she cupped the nape of his neck in her hand.

"right there, mama? huh? i'm where you need me at, pretty?" Jo-Vaughn cooed against her soft skin, caressing her thigh, as Valentina's head absentmindedly leaned to the side to give him more room to kiss on her neck and her back arched into his body, tightening her grip on him while she held him close.

"y-yes! ooooh, shit!" Valentina moaned, her inner thighs beginning to tingle, as wet kisses trailed up and down her neck and Jo-Vaughn's unoccupied hand grabbed a handful of Valentina's ass, speeding up his strokes and striking her g-spot with more passion, "yes! yes, yes, yes! fuck, baby, j-just like that!"

"you sound so pretty when this dick in you, princess. i love the way you call out for me," Jo-Vaughn groaned against her neck, kissing up to her ear, as he kissed her earlobe and gently tugged at it with his teeth, "you love me, baby?"

"yes! ooh, i love you s-so fucking m-much!" Valentina cried, her eyes rolling back for the second time, as the aroma of sex filled the air and sounds of skin-clapping and Valentina's cries filled the room, her stomach muscles tightening up while her orgasm came closer and closer.

who knew that all Valentina needed to make her admit how she truly felt was anger? but the real question is: who knew that her being angry would lead to something like this?

"that bitch out there will never experience this, you heard? she'll never know what it's like to be pinned against a wall and fucked by me. she'll never know what it's like to make me hard. she'll never know what it's like to be you, mama. you're all i want and you're all i need," Jo-Vaughn confessed, his hips snapping into hers, as he let out a soft groan and applied a smack to her ass, "i'm yours, princess. i'm all yours. i belong to you, my pretty girl."

"f-fuck, don't stop, i'm 'bout to cum!" Valentina cried, her stomach filling with butterflies at his confession, as she let go of the back of his neck and grabbed his jaw, pulling him away from her ear and pressing her forehead against his while a stray tear rolled down her cheek.

"cum for me, gorgeous. c'mon, baby, give it to me. gimme that shit, mama." Jo-Vaughn's words send Valentina over the edge, and her lips sat agape as her legs shook and her stomach muscles tightened, a loud cry falling from her lips while she became undone and her body tensed up. her back arched for a second time and she held Jo-Vaughn as close to her as she could as she whimpered feebly and tears started to roll down her cheeks, her leg going numb on his shoulder while Jo-Vaughn slow-stroked her through her orgasm.

"there you go, mama, handle that nut like a big girl. hold me as tight as you want to, i ain't goin' nowhere." Jo-Vaughn cooed, feeling her body relax against his, as he wiped her tears with his thumb and Valentina let out a soft sigh, her eyes locking with his while a lazy smile crossed her face.

before either of them could say anything, a knock sounded off at the door, and panic shined in their eyes as their heads snapped over to the door, wondering who it was and what they could want.

"newlyweds, i know y'all in here. mama and Mrs. Kimberly told me to come get y'all so we can start eating and cut the cake. so wrap up whatever y'all talking about and let's get a move on it, okay? we hungry." the sound of Vena's voice eased the panic in the couple's veins as Valentina let out a soft chuckle before parting her lips to speak.

"we'll be down in a minute, V, i promise we gon' feed y'all."

"y'all better. or i'll eat this cake my damn self." Vena's footsteps trailed away from the door and the sound of her heels clacking against the stairs made Valentina and Jo-Vaughn's ears prick up as the two let out breaths they didn't know they were holding in while they looked away from the door and at one another.

"we not done with this, are we?" Valentina chuckled rhetorically, raising a brow, as Jo-Vaughn let out a soft laugh and kissed her lips, his two-strand twisted dreads grazing her cheek and making her giggle.

"You damn right we not done with this. Just wait 'til everybody leaves, yo' ass is mines after that."

Helloooo!

For the OC ask, and for all four of your wonderful OCs!

🌩️ What's your OC's favourite Thunderbird/IR vehicle?

Ooh hello! Thanks for the ask! Let me see now…

Ash

Ash was Scott’s airforce wingman. They worked together as test pilots then were both posted to Bereznik. He can’t fly fighter jets himself anymore, as he lost his arm in the same incident that saw Scott shot down and captured. He stayed in the airforce though, rose up through the ranks and now is pretty senior. His particular interest is in the development of new tech, particularly things that would keep his pilots safer / allow them to do their jobs more efficiently. He’d love all the Thunderbirds but if he ever got to visit the hangar, his eye would be drawn to Shadow… yes… he’d very much like to order 40 of those please!

Val

Scott’s slightly older childhood friend, terrible influence, teenage crush and squadron buddy in Bereznik. She didn’t make it out of the mission Scott got shot down in, so sadly she never sees the Thunderbirds, but she would have loved One for all the reasons he does - fast is better. Fast is ALWAYS better!

Estera

Will absolutely refuse to say which her favourite Thunderbird is because it winds Scott up something chronic: “You MUST think one of them is slightly cooler? Tell me… I won’t tell the others. It’s One isn’t it? If you don’t say, I’m assuming it’s One.” Years of mediating passionate arguments between 8 year olds have given her an excellent sense of when to remain firmly on the fence. In reality, at the point we’re up to in the story she is… not a fan… of flying because last time she did it she was sealed inside a makeshift coffin and the sounds and smells of aircraft are tied up with that experience. Scott intends to work on it. Eventually she’s always going to have a soft spot for Tracy Two for that reason. But her favourite of all? Mole pod. Because that’s how Virgil eventually got her, Scott and the school kids out of the cave.

Bez

@sofasurf and I’s favourite floof has some very firm views as can be seen in this snippet. I now have so much lore surrounding Thunderbird Chew and the other softies in the set but that can wait for another day :)

Thank you for asking! I had a lot of fun thinking about it!

helena! my love! we've seen your ocs as boygenius songs... dare i ask what song you'd give them from phoebe bridgers' discography?

bluuuuuu this is the BEST yes yes yes

My OCs as Phoebe Bridgers Songs

Frankie Bevan - Friday I'm In Love

Monday, you can fall apart / Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart / Oh, Thursday doesn't even start / It's Friday, I'm in love /

Valerie Harmon - Graceland Too

So we spent what was left of our serotonin / To chew on our cheeks and stare at the moon / Said she knows she lived through it to get to this moment / Ate a sleeve of saltines on my floor and I knew then / I will do anything you want me to /

Susie Lamb - Scott Street

I asked you, "How is your sister? / I heard she got her degree" / And I said, "That makes me feel old" / You said, "What does that make me?" /

Anna March - Funeral

And last night, I blacked out in my car / And I woke up in my childhood bed / Wishing I was someone else, feeling sorry for myself / When I remembered someone's kid is dead /

Diana Fayed - Dominos

I scrape my eye when I touch the sky / And lose a little vision for the man / I can call it in my mind / I don't want to hold nobody's hand / I can toss in the morning light / I'll play dead when I'm buried in the sand /

Gwen Dastrup - Silk Chiffon

Life's so fun, life's so fun / Don't need to worry about no one / She said that I got her if I want / She's so soft like silk chiffon /

Faye Warren - Garden Song

The doctor put her hands over my liver / She told me my resentment's getting smaller / No, I'm not afraid of hard work / I get everything I want /

George Aarons - Chinese Satellite

Sometimes, when I can't sleep / It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things / Swore I could feel you through the walls / But that's impossible /

Ships:

Frankie and Rosie - Sidelines

Watched the world from the sidelines / Had nothing to prove / 'Til you came into my life / Gave me something to lose /

Val and Ron - Killer

Can the killer in me / Tame the fire in you? / Or is there nothin' left to do for us? / I am sick of the chase / But I'm hungry for blood / And there's nothin' I can do /

Susie and DeMarco - ICU

But I feel something when I see you now / I feel something when I see you / If you're a work of art / I'm standing too close / I can see the brush strokes /

Anna and Eugene - Moon Song

And if I could give you the moon / I would give you the moon / You are sick and you're married and you might be dying / But you're holding me like water in your hands /

Diana and Reg - Chelsea

And you spit the blood back, spit the blood back, baby / I'm amazed that you're alright / Oh, so long, prison boy / I won't be home with you tonight /

Gwen and Brady - Waiting Room

I want to make you drive all night just because I said maybe you should come over / I want to make you fall in love as hard as my poor parents' teenage daughter / She'll be the best you ever had if you let her /

Faye and Shifty - Punisher

What if I told you / I feel like I know you? / But we never met / And here, everyone knows you're the way to my heart / Hear so many stories of you at the bar/

George and Curt - Georgia

Georgia, Georgia, I love your son / And when he gets older, he might be the one / He might be the one / Georgia, Georgia, he has beautiful bones / And he never lies or picks up his phone /

OC In 15

Thank you for the tag @the-down-upside-finch!!! This is so fun!!!!

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

I uh. Did all of the POV Quartet. So I will tag people up top and put it all below a readmore LMAO. Tagging @saintedseraph, @k-v-briarwood, @sentfromwolves, @veneritia, and @scribe-scott!!

Rosamund:

"It's not true. I'm not- I'm not bad. It was-wasn't my idea. I ju-just want to be wi-with the people I lo-love. Please."

"Roland. Teach me how to fight. [...] For me. For my peace of mind. For the worst case scenario."

"You're doing this to ensure I don't put an end to the war you're so desperately trying to start, and I won't stand for it."

"Magic isn't a sickness, mother. I'm proud to have it."

"I thought we were in no danger here?" ["Well, I certainly hope so, but there's no harm in being prepared."] "So the knights should be at the dinner."

["I will not let you ruin your future."] "You are ruining my future. I've seen it."

"Have you ever gotten the feeling you're seeing someone for the last time?"

"I'd rather have died in that fire than continue to be tied to a nation of small-minded slaughterers."

"You all fear magic. My mother did, too. But keep this in mind for if we ever meet again. You are no longer negotiating with a like-minded Sivonese noble. You are dealing with a mage."

"I want to be nothing like [my mother]. Lucky for me, that means being a decent person."

"I won't let it happen. I will not fall to this."

"That's very interesting, but I'm not giving up until I make some progress."

"Run. Before I stop being a coward and kill you."

"I didn't mean to hide my position from you, I simply... didn't want you to be intimidated."

["You can't trust me already."] "But I'd like to."

Christie:

"Genes don't dictate guilds. Anyone can do anything."

"I'm not quitting. I may be young, but I'm not quitting. I'm just... frustrated."

"I don't care if she doesn't like me. I'm not going to stay away from you just because she wants me too."

"Val Thorne! He's an investigator, hunting down criminals all around Exosto. He's from Crown's Ridge, and I've been to some of the places he goes to in his books. Sometimes he gets details wrong, though, but that's okay. It's a fictional version of Exosto. He doesn't have to worry about things like diplomatic passage to get into Rasduk."

[debating if someone is flirting] "I think it's too early to throw it out as a theory, though. You may come across more evidence to support it. But I'd consult the opinion of an expert."

["Secret passage? Where to?"] "I don't know. I'm about to find out."

"I'm not afraid of anything. But I know it's important to be safe, and even more important to be calm, so you can handle if things go badly or if you find something gross, like a skeleton."

"I will be a great mage. Just you wait."

"I don't care if they don't want me. They never came and found me, so I don't know if they loved me that much. But I at least want to know who they are. If they look weird, like me. That kind of thing."

"I have to tell her. I don't— Don't want her to think less of me. I have to tell her."

"I don't want [Maurelle] to fall behind. I'm fine. Goodbye."

"If they're worried about time… n-no offense, but why would they hire an Investigator who is magic-averse?"

"Don't say stuff like that. That's for movies when people are about to die."

"Do you ever wish you could do magic?"

"I told you I'll stay safe. I'm not leaving."

Addison:

"My Lady. Would you like to crash this party? And this whole engagement, as it were?"

["You're the witch house guy?"] "Glad to see that's become my reputation."

["Rulers should always be honest. That's what Miss Fairchild always says."] "And she's right, but guess what? Most rulers aren't. And I'm not a ruler yet."

[to a bird] "You're a cute little thing, you know. Strange, but cute."

["What did you say about stabbing?"] "I gave them plenty of warning. And no one got hurt."

"I promise you'll be safe. I'll set you down just as soon as you'll be able to move by yourself."

"Luxurious or not, [the castle is] still a prison."

"I'm sorry? Just like them? You can just say magic-averse, Miss Fairchild, it's not a dirty word. And for your information, yes! I do plan on being just like them! Is it such a terrible thing to be? I suppose you'd think so, having magic all your life. You've never known what it's like to be without it! I'd pity you if the truth wasn't that it's terrible and limiting."

"Up for an adventure? I'm looking for a witch."

"Katamar, Dimitio, Vunwra. Guide me to what I'm seeking. Do not let me go home empty handed. I was put on this path for a reason, you put me here, did you not?"

"Funny story. I did almost die."

"I believe in all of you. I think you should at least try for what you want. It's better to try and fail than to not try at all."

["That's an antique, not a weapon."] "I think it'll do."

"I didn't meant to kill him - oh, Silpa. Oh, Silpa, I killed someone."

"I'm sorry for all that. Tha-Thank you for helping me. I promise it won't happen again."

Ashton:

"I can't have it happen again, Sutton. I want to help you, but I can't lose another town."

"Stay here. Stay hidden. I'll try and get them away from here. Keep away from the windows, and do not go outside until I come back alone. Understand?"

[lying] "I've never met a mage. I wouldn't know if I saw one."

"I'm coming with you. If… you don't mind the company."

"I'll be back. As soon as I'm able, I'll be back."

"This is a mountain, Sutton, the last thing you're going to see up here is fish."

["Anything [alcoholic] I can get you?"] "Something lighter, please."

"I can't imagine anyone being afraid of your magic."

"Hey, you're hurting yourself. You're not going to get out that way."

"If I'd known you'd react like this, I would've tried to find something else. You don't have to apologize for a reaction like this."

"How am I supposed to help you if I don't know what to avoid? If I don't know why we're doing this in the first place?"

"You were a kid asking for help. That does not put you at fault for their disappearance, you did the right thing. Anyone would have done the same."

"Twenty years, and I've been playing the victim this whole time. I'm scared of fire, a-and of rosey-armored knights, and I shouldn't be! I brought it on myself. I have no right to act this way, but I do."

[about magic] "I never thought it would feel like this."

["I've come this far."] "We've come this far."

Heyy!!

Question for you. How do you think some of your OCs would be without their trauma and what do you think they’d be doing?

Sorry it took me so long to reply to this ! I've been ill but I've been thinking about this a lot.

I think Katherine Scott from my story Seething Scope is the character who would be the most different, such from where she is in the story right now is a wallflower with the backbone of a jellyfish and a very bad Panic disorder, I think if she didn't have such a rough childhood, she would be a lot more comfortable in her skin, she'd work at a simple job, settle down with a nice girl, and get on the Meds she needs. If she doesn't meet Nat and have to deal with the Paintings, she still would feel a pull to the supernatural, though not to the same degree.

As for others in the Seething Scope story, Nat would be mostly the same, just a lot more...Well adjusted around people, not as broke and would have a better relationship with Isabelle.

My Bloodhunter Gwen would have not nearly as many anger issues if her father wasn't awful, and the scar on her face wouldn't be there. She might still have become a Bloodhunter because I think her blood lust would still be here but in this world she wouldn't have had to run away. She also probably wouldn't have met her wife so she'd actually hate the idea of this. Gwen wouldn't let anyone change the past, because it's hers and she'll do with it whatever she wants. Even if it's bad.

Val would also be a tough case, because he'd be much the same, but more open with his feelings and have a healthier relationship with death and time.

Our first ever commission 🥰

Well, first paid commission 😅 I still have that Valentine's portrait you drew for me way back when ♥️

The red-banded terrapin paused to side-eye Val, who was grinning slyly at him from behind her lashes. Her eyes bugged out when he suddenly snapped toward her, arms outstretched. “I’ll take that hug now-”

"Don’t you dare!” She immediately fled around the dining table, desperate to put some distance between herself and the incoming terrapin. “Get away! Stop! Raph, no... I mean it- ah!”

Donnie and Mikey leapt back, cackling as their brother proceeded chasing the squealing woman around the kitchen. He cornered her almost immediately, leaning into her palm pressed against his plastron.

“I’m dead serious.” Val warned, playfully staring him down. “Come any closer and I’ll smack you.”

~ TBaH, Chapter 11: Into The Light

Thank you so much @android-cap-007 for bringing my story to life 🫂♥️

Ask game, 15 and 4

OOOOH ok so 15 is interesting bc back in the day, i wanna say late 2019-early 2020? I actually had like unique crimson/corrupted versions of p much all my main ocs at the time. But all that art is pretty old, and im not rly using the headcanons that its all based on BUUUT i do think they will influence my answer. Im just gonna give general answers for each biome infection (and also lunar stuff bc. I think theyre also very very good for turning characters Eeeevil) n then rattle off some more interesting specific cases

Corrupt- i get the feeling a corruption infection is kind of like being a zombie but a little to the right. A lot of brain fog and not really all there mentally. Wanna bite. Dunno why. Wanna dig holes. Wanna shove people in holes. Also seems like itd be an airborne thing, but not in the way of like. Single celled bacteria invisible to the human eye, but like spores and poisonous fungi and that kinda thing. This kinda feels like a nice default thag i think a lot of my ocs could succumb to tbh, but i dont think any are particularly interesting EXCEPT. For Maxwell. Bc. Ive got 3 guide ocs. Scott, whos like your beginning prehm guide whos got pretty good all around knowledge but doesnt rly delve deeper into any specific terrarian aspect. N then Zach, whos like the guide at the endgame, knows just so much insider knowledge abt the lunar amd solar cults yes i made a solar cult, hes the "what's next?" To scott's "what is?". N then Maxwell is the guide right into hardmode, has extensive knowledge about the hallow and world evils, esp corruption. And like. He would absolutely knoe about how corruption spreads and how it infects people and he'd know exactly how to prevent it. So if he got corrupted its bc he WANTED. To be corrupted. For one reason or another. Large scale revenge? Mad scientist research? Who knows.

Crimson- a crimson infection is just straight bloodlust and violence babey! Just visceral instincts overriding all. Kill kill kill bite bite bite and whatnot. I think to get a crimson infection, it would be really super easy if you're not careful. Like a bite that breaks the skin could do it. But yknow if ur in full armor ur basically fine. More potent than corruption, harder time spreading to those who are prepared. It is for this reason i think Vexx, Dynamo and Crow especially all could be taken over w crimson just so easily- all are pretty reckless, and crow's poking around in there often already for research purposes. Fuck now im compelled to draw like super ultra crimson crow or some1 but its soooo late rn

Hallow- lots of "warped sense of justice" kinda stuff. No harming of wildlife, such a crime is punishable by death, spreading "good" chaos by force. Murder is okay 👍 I think mattie would succumb to this p easily. He seems like the type to hang around the hallow anyway and yknow, hes a bit naive and gullible. Very strong heart + easily malleable mind which is a winning combo for a hallow infection. Same thing w Val and Izzy who im aware ive never mentioned but all you need to know abt them for this is that they're teenagers with very strong opinions. OH ALSO yall've seen that episode of Gumball "The Joy" right? The one with the outbreak of a joy virus that turns everyone into very happy zombies w big dilated eyes and pastel rainbow bloodshed. Thats also what im picturing. Good shit

Ok rapidfire lunar stuff lets go

Solar- similarly violent and aggressive as crimson but more strategic rather than purely instinctual. Affects my melee ocs the most (terra, dynamo)

Vortex- alien worms and parasites In Ur Gutz!! That make you diseased before taking over to give you the planning abilities to strategically take out the others in your life one by one (pixie, vivian, crow)

Nebula- BECOME PART OF THE HIVE MIND TODAY AND MOVE LIKE A WEIRD PUPPET AND ACT LIKE A LEECH (mage) (mattie, isaac, not izzy bc shes like 15 and perfect)

Stardust- alters your brain matter in such a way that you just sooo want to live in space and ur gonna take EEEVERYONE w you by FORCE bc isnt it so PRETTY (vexx, tbh i think isaac already has a bit of this in him already. Hes fuckin weird. Again not val bc shes 15 and perfect)

Okok one more interesting thing: Astral Infection! Including it bc crow canonically (at least in the current cal multiplayer run) did get a pretfy bad astral infection..infection, basically from breathing in all the Particles. All the snow and dirt n shit. And it all kinda gathered in his lungs and started burning them from the inside out, and it just outwardly looked like a high ER-worthy fever and bad cough, still scary but like. Not "i think an alien disease is eating away at him from the inside" scary. Thankfully his besties stopped it from getting worse, bc otherwise it wouldve completely burned holes thru his chest and killed him, his body just kind of letting out more toxic fumes until hes like. Zombified or smth. Im still new to cal and also idk the full lore </3

Wow that was a lot of rambling! Its 1:40 am so im gonna answer the other questjon 2morrow! (Same deal for the other anon thag sent in a question, TY BTW)

#terraria #ocs #sorry if theres 4849395i93 typos i cannot keep my eyes open rn im so tired ghdjfjf #long post

ask game :33. Valentine, 2, 3, and 24?

hmmm

well I think it's mostly her personality

a lot of characters that are altruistic often is shown to be meek and effortlessly compassionate and ofcourse many actually altruistic people reflect this idea I find more people who are more self righteous and stubborn and sarcastic and blunt which valentine is. She's a person of great principal and it's really fun to see her reflect that in her personality

also the idea that she got a husband

I do know that some people in the fandom views her as Sapphic but I think her relationship with Jakt is one of the most normal healthy relationships in the book series

I mean not a high bar to cross but it's still worth something

least canon favorite thing

hmmmmm

this is less somwthing that did happen but more something that didn't happen

in ender in exile we never really see ender and Val become siblings again like the end of enders game implied

the late night conversations between them and the years of traveling across from world to world where they spend the all day chatting away rebuilding their understanding of eachother was one of the ideas I was most excited to read about but instead I got left with some Alessandra Toscano romance and quincy Morgan spying on children bullshit

so yea I think my least favorite thing about Val is that we never really see her and ender talk to learn about eachother

I just think orson scott card forgot how to build relationships after the first few books

another fandom is probably maomao? from apothecary diaries

personally my first thought goes to lutangalos mom but that's my own oc not a fandom so it wouldent work at all

anyways yea think that's it!

thank you for the questions :D

Character Sheet: Andromeda Rhodes

Inspired by the ever-amazing @tinkabelle24 and her OC, Val Scott 😊

----------

Face Claim: Maddy Kendzior

----------

Name: Andromeda Grace Rhodes

Meaning: Ruler of men. Her name is a direct reference to the Greek myth Andromeda, who was famously chained to a rock by her parents as a sacrifice to the sea monster Cetus.

Age: She begins the story at 15, but currently she is 16.

Birthdate: July 17th, 1996

Zodiac Sign: Cancer

Physical Traits:

Height: 5’2”

Plus-size build - which does lead to her body image issues later in season 1

Sunkissed skin, with rosacea on her cheeks

Long caramel-colored, slightly curly hair - 95% of the time, she has a ribbon or bow clip in her hair

Forest green eyes

Style: Her go-to color is pink, and she tends to wear more “girly” clothes, like dresses, skirts, cardigans and rompers.

Her most common look is a form-fitting pink sweater dress, white Converse, and her pink bow clip.

Her hairstyles will change with each season:

Season 1 will feature her hair down

Season 2 will show her hair in a classic braid

Season 3 will feature a low ponytail at first and then switch to a French braid

Season 4 will see her as having a high ponytail

Season 5 will have her in a bun

But no matter what, her bow will be included in every hairstyle, whether that’s a ribbon or a clip.

Personality: Andi is a naturally closed-off person, revealing only the surface-level facts about herself at first; her name, age, favorite things, best friend, etc. However, she is kind to others and has a huge amount of respect for people that she considers authority figures, like Splinter (when she meets him), her teachers in school, and of course, her parents (but that respect falters later in the story.)

She is extremely intelligent, having an IQ of 150, making her a genius. However, this intelligence sometimes (though not often) spills over into arrogance, and she can be rude to others if they don’t understand what she’s talking about. She also puts herself down if she doesn’t understand something or can’t get it right, because she feels that with such a high intelligence, she shouldn’t have problems with anything with memory, experimentation, or general knowledge.

This also ties into her being impatient and short-tempered at times, though she doesn’t have issues controlling her anger. Though more often than not, she is prone to be extremely sarcastic with others - especially her closest friends like April and the boys.

Despite her brilliant mind, she is incredibly oblivious to anything involving romance and love - which can be infuriating, as it’s bleedingly obvious to anyone that watches the two of them that Donatello is hopelessly infatuated with her. While she does eventually reciprocate his feelings, it takes her a long time - when she feels enough trust in him that she can start to open up about her past.

As the story goes on, Andi shows just how loyal she really is to the people that matter most to her. From the beginning, she sees April as her unofficial sister. As she becomes closer with the turtles and Splinter, she sees the latter as her father figure and the boys as brothers to her - with the exception of Donatello, of course.

Some of Her Favorites:

Color: Pink

Music: Indie and alternative pop, though she also loves indie rock. Her favorite band is the (fictional) indie rock band Salem's Witches, and her favorite song by them is called "Close Call".

Book: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

Hobbies: Science (especially experiments and building tools and weapons), reading, listening to her CDs, spending time with April and the boys (especially Donnie, as much as she'll deny it 😉)

Relationships with Others:

Mother, Cassiopeia “Cassie” Rhodes: The two have a very, very estranged (and downright toxic and unhealthy) relationship. Cassie was never the typical mother to Andi; she was distant and isolated herself from her daughter. Not much can be said about her at the moment, but what can be said is that she and Andi’s father were married, but prematurely divorced when Andi was 12. After their divorce, Cassie completely disappeared from her daughter’s life - but they reunite in the middle of season 2.

Father, Alexander “Alex” Rhodes: When he was alive, the two had a fairly close, father-daughter relationship. He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed when it came to raising a daughter (especially one as smart as Andi,) but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a good father to her. What he lacked in brilliance, he made up for in spirit, constantly encouraging her to follow her dreams of being a scientist and indulging her when she went on a tangent about…well, pretty much anything. However, his life was cut short when he was found dead in his apartment building in March 2010 - and when his autopsy was performed, it was found that the cause of death was poisoning.

Best Friend, April O’Neil: April and Andi have been best friends since they were 12, a year and four months before Alex passed away. They met in English class in November of 2008, when they were assigned as partners to read and do a project on a Shakespearean play, and they chose Romeo and Juliet. During their time together, they became close friends and began to hang out outside of school, eventually becoming best friends by the time they finished seventh grade (June 2009) and Andi meeting Kirby O’Neil when April threw her a birthday party at her apartment. When Alex died less than a year later, April was the only person that Andi willingly confided in about her father’s death, and April comforting her and offering to let her stay with her and her father for a week so that she didn’t feel so lonely cemented her as one of the most important people in Andi’s life.

Miscellaneous Information:

Andi has undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome, though it’s never explicitly stated in the story.

Her main weapon is a lithium-powered laser gun that Donnie helps her perfect in season 1. The reason why it’s a laser gun, specifically, is because of her need for things to be impersonal between her and her opponent in a battle, and simply because it’s more advanced than the traditional weapon.

It’s never explicitly stated either, but Andi is bi-curious. She will have feelings for Donnie, but when she and April started becoming closer as friends, she had a temporary crush on her. And to this day, she still wonders what it would be like to date another girl, but after she meets Donnie, those thoughts become fewer and farther between. The reason she had a crush on April in the first place was because April was the first person to show her legitimate kindness and platonic love, and Andi misconstrued her feelings of platonic love for romantic love.

Major Updates to My Weird Idea (that includes my Nightside OCs)

Go check my previous post on this - HERE

This is mainly an update for @schizoauthoress , @the--blackdahlia , @spacelizardtrashboys , @enigmaticandunstable and @piratewithvigor and I personally think @nattinngrst might like this.

I went on a trip to the beach yesterday with my parents and my older brother (who I bored and annoyed with this idea and you'll see some of his influence in this here post)

Anything written in italics is meant to be taken as a joke as you read through this wall of text, sending good vibes as always, hope y'all are doing well.

The show is set in Canadian, Texas (real place: Wikipedia). I'm thinking of this show starting in the mid-to-late 90s (1996/1997).

I've managed to do several things with that weird sitcom idea, so, where to start, how about with the three potential titles:

1 - Neighbourhood Watch

2 - First Call

3 - First Round (Which my brother likes)

Here are some options for bar names, starting with the Cop bar:

1 - The Donut Hole

2 - The Roasted Hog (which my big bro suggested)

3 - The Sherriff's Outpost

And the Biker Bar:

1 - The Handlebar Inn

2 - The Steel Horse Saloon

3 - The Rebel Room

Next on the list of updates: Cast additions, character roles and (Finally after 2 days) Names for Everyone!!

I'll start with the Cop Bar's owner & staff:

Rosalina Asturias 'Rosa' (Played by Billie Martinez) an employee of the local cop bar. Didn't grow up in the town, moved here for work.

Violet Croft (Played by Eli Herne) an employee. Grew up in town, never left, has the hots for one of the guys in the local police.

Lupe Zapatero (Played by Savio Vega) an employee at the bar and possibly the shortest member of staff, towered over by the tallest staff members but is not any less of a fighter because of his size, a former mechanic who loves nothing more than taking things apart and putting them back together while listening to metal / rock.

Murphy Graves (Played By The Undertaker) Manager of the biker bar and an excellent member of staff, has an outlaw rules vibe, as in he would say to the police "Your jurisdiction ends when you walk in my bar." Very protective of the staff, and the owner.

After leaving for the night, the team finds the bar broken into and both machines missing with no evidence or possible suspects to the robbery. The team finds the machines relatively undamaged in an alleyway nearby. By the end of the episode there's still no suspects.

1x11: Written in Ink: the tattooed bikers on the staff encourage regular customer Earl Black [Austin] to get a skull tattoo on his back and even take him with them to the tattoo parlour they frequent, finding it to be burned to the ground with a 'freaks get lost' sign planted in the wreckage. Murphy Graves [Undertaker] dismisses the rumours that the arsonist is the fire fascinated Vincent Gore [Kane] and even gives him an alibi when the cops come looking for answers, putting blame on someone in town who knows about Vinnie's [Kane's] love of fire, which is nearly every person in town.

bittersweet | 31

pairing: stiles stilinski x oc a/n: we’re finally covering the last episode of season 3 and the defeat of the nogitsune! this isn’t the last chapter of season 3 tho, there’s two more that I’ve already written some time ago so they’ll be published in just a couple of seconds. hope you’ll enjoy and please tell me what you thought! warnings: an almost suicide, fighting, a lot of talk about death and, you know, other fun stuff. wordcount: 1805

<<prev || masterlist || next>>

Stiles

I stumbled out of my jeep, holding onto the railing beside it to steady myself. It wasn’t long until Valerie arrived beside me, wrapping my arm around her shoulders and her arm around my waist. Everyone else headed towards the entrance of the school where we knew the nogitsune was waiting. Valerie headed to follow them, but I used my grip around her shoulders to stop her.

“Val, hold on.”

She turned to look at me, frowning. “What?”

“Just…” I took a deep breath. “Okay, I’m telling you this because I know that Scott would never… I- I know what everyone’s thinking, if we kill him we might kill me as well, and even if it does, I need you to promise me to-”

“To what?” Valerie’s voice had risen and she was glaring at me. “Kill you? You think just because I don’t like you I’m okay with letting you die? You think you’re not worth saving?” There was a stubborn fire in her eyes that made my heart stop for a moment. “The plan was to save you. And that’s what I’m gonna do.” With that, Valerie began walking forward, dragging me with her.

When we had caught up with the others by the school doors, Scott pushed them open and the rest of us followed. But to all of our surprise, we weren’t met with the dark school hallway. Instead, we stepped into a snow-covered Japanese garden. Small snowflakes were falling down, slowly covering everybody’s heads and shoulders, the flakes on Valerie’s hair blending in the blonde parts but standing out in the purple ones. We all exchanged confused looks, and before I knew it, my body was warming up. At first, I was confused, but then I realized it must be Valerie warming me up again because of the sudden cold weather.

Everyone turned around when the sound of the doors shutting echoed through the enclosed garden. Guess there was no turning back now.

We spread out the tiniest bit, looking around and generally wondering what we were gonna do now when the sound of feet dragging against the floor got everyone to turn towards the direction of the doors again. A figure was limping out from behind one of the stone pillars. A figure covered head to toe in bandages, wearing a brown leather jacket and army-pants. The nogitsune.

Valerie let go of me to unsheath her sword, Kira doing the same. I instantly missed her embrace, but not just because I was suddenly growing cold again. She then moved to stand in front of me, sword held high. She had exchanged her previous sword with a katana she had successfully stolen from an oni earlier, saying something about how she felt more in sync with it.

The nogitsune turned towards us, and if it had eyes, I was confident they would be locked with mine. “Like I promised, Stiles.” His raspy voice echoed through the garden. “We’re going to kill all of them. One by one!” With that, four oni materialized around us. They started walking forward, slowly closing us in.

“What the hell is this? Where are we?” Scott sneered.

“Between life and death.”

“Bardo,” Lydia mumbled.

“But there are no peaceful deities here, Lydia.” The nogitsune shook his finger. “You’re dying, Stiles,” he whispered. “And now everyone you care about is dying too.”

My eyes narrowed. “What?” I breathed out. “What do you mean?”

“I’ve captured almost all of the territories on the board, Stiles. The hospital. The Sheriff’s Station. And now, the animal clinic. Do you know the ritual of seppuku, Stiles?”

I shook my head. “No, and I don’t want to.”

“When a samurai disembowels himself with his own sword to maintain his honor, but that’s not the cut that kills him. The killing stroke is made by his kaishakunin, who beheads the samurai with his own katana.” The nogitsune turned around slowly and pointed one of his bandaged fingers at Scott. “Scott… Scott is your kaishakunin. I’m going to make your best friend kill you, Stiles. And you’re going to let him. Because just like you, they’re all going to die.” He trudged closer and closer to me. “Everyone touched by an oni’s blade. Unless,” the nogitsune raised his finger, he was so close now that we were standing face to face, “Scott kills you first.”

“Why?” I asked, tears brimming in the corners of my eyes. “Why are you doing this?”

“To win the game.”

The nogitsune raised his hand and the oni raised their swords.

––

The battle was now in full motion. Scott, Valerie and Kira fighting against four oni while Lydia and I were crouched down on the ground, away from the action.

“This can’t be real,” said Lydia, looking around.

“Yeah, tell that to them,” I said, nodding towards the trio fighting the oni. Valerie fought hard, but now going up against two of the oni at the same time, they overpowered her, and her katana flew out of her grip and onto the snow in front of us. Kira and Scott were losing too, I had to do something quick, before they died. With shaking hands I grabbed Valerie’s sword and stood up, holding the edge against my gut. Scott noticed what I was doing immediately.

“Stiles, no!” he screamed. “Stiles!”

“What if it saves you?” I asked. “What if it saves all of you?”

“What if it’s just another trick?!” Valerie countered, but the nogitsune was quick to respond.

“No more tricks, Valerie. End it, Scott. Let your friend fall on his own sword. Do for him what he cannot do for himself. Do it, Scott. Be his kaishakunin. Give up the game.”

Scott didn’t do anything, he couldn’t, he just stood there. But I could. I steadied my grip on the hilt of the sword, readying myself. I was just about to do it when I saw it, reflected in the blade of the katana, a textbook. I looked to my left and there it was, laying on the ground and covered in snow, a business textbook. A quick look further from the book and I saw a school-desk, sitting idly behind a big rock.

“You have no more moves left,” said the nogitsune slowly, sounding like he knew what was gonna happen next.

I let go of the katana easily to the immediate surprise of everyone around me. “I do,” I said and tossed the katana back to Valerie who caught it with ease. “A divine move.”

I looked away from the nogitsune who looked furious at the new development and turned towards Scott, Valerie and Kira. “Stop fighting them! It’s an illusion. You have to stop fighting them. It looks real and it feels real, but, guys, you gotta trust me, it’s an illusion.”

None of them hesitated to listen, walking towards the doors, not fighting back even as the oni slashed their katanas across their bodies. Lydia and I followed. Soon, Scott was just in front of the nogitsune. He pushed him forward and as we stumbled through the doors, he disappeared, and we were all inside of the school now.

Scott, Valerie and Kira immediately checked their bodies where the slicing wounds had been, but they were no longer there anymore.

“We’re okay,” said Scott. We’re–” he didn’t get the chance to finish his sentence. He was quickly knocked down by the actual nogitsune. The one that looked like me. Kira was knocked out quickly after. But before they could get to her, Valerie ran away. She pushed Lydia into the other hallway, away from him, before she stood by my side, katana ready, and I quickly wrapped my arm around her again.

“This was my game,” the nogitsune growled. “You think you can beat me at my game?” He dashed towards us, completely ignoring Lydia. “Divine move.” He was moving so fast Valerie and I had to quickly stumble back to get away from him. “You think you have any moves at all?” he growled, voice tasing by every word. “You can kill the oni, but me? I’m a thousand years old! YOU CAN’T KILL ME!”

“But we can change you!” Valerie said smugly. The nogitsune halted immediately.

“What?” he mumbled, actually sounding scared.

“You forgot about the scroll,” I said.

“The Shugendo scroll.” I could actually hear the smirk in Valerie’s voice.

The nogitsune’s eyes narrowed. He was definitely scared now. “Change the host,” he mumbled.

I nodded. “You can’t be a fox and a wolf.” As soon as the words left my mouth Scott grabbed the nogitsune's shoulder and bit him in the arm. A blood-curdling scream escaped the Nogitsune’s mouth. Scott let go just in time for Kira’s katana to penetrate his chest. He fell to his knees, mouth opening and a firefly escaping out of it. It flew down the hallway just as Isaac appeared. He trapped the fly in the triskele-box, shutting it. The body identical to mine flailed around for a bit more before it cracked and transformed into dust.

Before I knew it, my vision went black and I fell to the floor, one final sound echoing in my ears before I lost consciousness.

“STILES!”

––

My feeling came before my sight. I was laying down, a hard uncomfortable surface under my entire body except under my head, which was supported by some kind of fabric. Someone’s folded up jacket if I had to guess. I blinked slowly. My vision cleared and I saw my friends crouched down around me, Valerie and Scott crouched just by my head. Deep sighs of relief escaped them all as they saw me wake up. I furrowed my brows in confusion before realization washed over me.

“Oh god, I fainted didn’t I?”

Valerie let out a breathy laugh. “Yeah, you did, Stiles.” My brows furrowed again at that. Valerie frowned when she noticed it. “What is it?” she asked.

“You just said my name,” I said softly, the ghost of a small smile pulling at my lips.

Valerie leaned back slightly, breaking eye-contact with me. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say she was blushing. “Don’t get used to it, Bilinski.”

I think I actually smiled at that.

Instead of responding I looked towards the rest of my friends. “We’re alive,” I whispered. “We are alive?”

Scott nodded. “Yeah. We’re okay.”

I finally let out a breath.

Lydia didn’t seem as relieved, though. She frowned a bit, looked towards the end of the hallway then stood up and walked forward. Not long after did she begin sprinting. The rest of us followed. Once we were out of the school we immediately saw what Lydia had felt. There, below the stairs, we saw Ethan clutching onto his twin’s stale body, sobbing. Lydia ran towards them, tears streaming down her face.
