Frank James Lampard OBE 👀

ougughgh, you whipped out the order of the british empire? 🫡 😳 maybe i was wrong to judge them teaboos back in the superwholock days (that's a JOKE)

@protect-daniel-james i'll respond here but i might use your ask to post some more Photos cause i'm not sure how to pick just one photo of the Long Eyelashed Tragedy

favorite thing about them: uhhh...so much? he gets me right in the FEELS, man. he tells on himself constantly and seems to be completely unaware. sadboi footballer with pretty dead eyes who loves to Read and took a little notebook with him on the team bus. the intersection of having it easy/privileged childhood & traumatic things that shouldn't have happened--i relate. exhilarating to watch his old performances and he seems like he'd be fun to have a conversation with. fascinating to analyze, this all feels sort of reductive...i'm very Fond of him and some of it is hard to put into words, but i feel very "what's not to love?" about him lol. and he has such a Narrative. he's very easy to write about though it probably doesn't turn out well at all (sounds great and deep in my head though)

also i find a lot of footballers hot but don't really experience significant attraction to them but he is an exception you know what i'm just going to end this here

least favorite thing about them: he lost weight after everton BOO HISS

favorite line: omg, frank james lampard OBE is funny because he's often so intelligent and articulate and then just whips out the WEIRDEST/most cringe thing out of nowhere. some examples:

-his "fight" with klopp on the touchline

THIS wtfery:

these BANGERS:

this classic example of childhood trauma "too old when you're young and too young when you're old" (what some ppl would call "entitled male athlete" but like..i know better than that lol). it's also just patently RIDICULOUS he was like 36...bolding is mine for the classic lines

But it was while on a night out in Manchester during pre-season that the ex-West Hamer star showed his new American team-mates exactly how ex-Premier League stars like to party.

Columbus Crew centre-back Josh Williams was with NYCFC at the time and he told the story to the Athletic.

...“This place is packed, multiple levels. And as soon as we walk in, you could see everybody recognise Frank. And it’s just me, my teammate and Frank and all the energy is just on him.

"He picks up a bottle, this huge bottle of Grey Goose, picks it up, opens it, just starts downing it. Passes it to me and goes, ‘Boys, we’re not putting this down until it’s fucking gone.’”

The trio passed the bottle around three times when the rest of NYCFC showed up.

After about an hour in the club, Lampard approached Williams and asked him about 'that game you Americans play where you throw the little balls — he’s talking about beer pong.'

ok let's see...

brotp: random one but i recently learned that he and ian wright are friends? and i just love that so much both as a gooner and a person. wrighty complements him well and is very...respectful lol. if we consider lamperry to be only one-sided romantic, then definitely lamperry

notp: franko x steven gerrard...there's only One situation in which i've enjoyed that ship (and it was an au). it does nothing for me normally, and i personally don't find stevie g attractive, so! again, it's like an "ew get it away from me" notp, it's just not my vibe.

otp: i mean...lamperry requited. franko x cousin jamie jamie jamie ....maybe someday they can give romeo and juliet their happy ending. and of course, frank and mason...i just really like this ship so much and it keeps my brain so entertained...even though it's not "healthy" and doesn't end well. these ships are all SO good!!!

random headcanon: oh gosh idk...i don't think i have any "headcanons" because everything he says and does in public just kind of tracks. bet he's done coke lol. idk

unpopular opinion: HOO BOY!!! here we go!!! i am aware that i have a wooby nature, but i actually like that about myself. i'd rather approach someone--anyone with softness and then tone it down when i decide they're a dick, than be uncharitable for no reason. that's my way and that's how it's gonna be! so that said...franko gets accusations of "arrogance" and i...i don't see it at all. it might come from his disingenous press conferences at chelsea and everton, but i see that as a man who has horrid self-esteem, was used to being treated by media and fans like a Starboy, and once he started doing badly, had no idea how to handle professional failure--not one single idea. remember on "diary of a ceo" over the summer when he said his first chelsea sacking was the first time he's ever failed professionally? that's insane. Like, imagine making it to age FORTY-TWO and not having a legitimate school or career disaster. that's insane to me. so he just put up a front and got cranky and defensive and funky about where he placed the blame (and to be honest--he has not done a good job as a manager, but he also wound up in some pretty dismal positions. taking chelsea caretaker manager was really shooting himself in the foot because that season just needed to be put out of its misery lol). i'm not saying he's a bastion of humility, or some misunderstood coaching genius, but i don't see him as any more or less arrogant than someone else. idk--i see a weird level of contempt for him that doesn't really feel deserved? he's just a sad sack. sort of a hubris tale in a sense, but also a tale of a man who is still stuck as a kid in some ways...i need to stop before i write a really bad dissertation lol

uh that said...

song i associate with them:

finally a footballer i can give a good answer to this for!!!

name me a better combination than me x lamps x pink floyd x this summer! comfortably numb, shine on you crazy diamond (all of it, but particularly sections vi-ix), wish you were here...

(i know this sounds basic...i know there are more i'm not remembering)

"money" in some ways because i listened to it while writing "visited upon the sons" (it hit me afterward that the fic and the song are structured in the same way...the chicken or the egg?)

from the oooold first days of the lampardverse:

behind blue eyes/a well respected man

also! wouldn't it be nice kind of reminds me of him and cousin jamie loool

favorite picture of them:

dude idk! i really love looking at photos of him! this is granit levels of difficulty...i Cannot choose so let's go with this sad sack from the blessed everton days:

#anonymous #answered #long eyelashed tragedy #!!!!!#i feel like i just lost 78784 followers lol

Ships:

Chlonette

Adribrina

Lukalix

Characters:

Miss Bustier

Andre

Rose

Hmmm…🤔

Ships:

Chlonette

👍👍👍

My favorite Chloe OTP! On the surface, Chlonette might just look like your basic cute crackship or possible redemption/reformation story for Chloe, but thanks to this Chlonette server I'm in (with these awesome people I might add), Chlonette is a lot more complex and has more layers than you think. My reasons for shipping it are a possible Chloe redemption/reformation, Chloe can of course treat Marinette better, enemies to lovers (though in my case, it’s enemies, to hesitant friends, to friends and THEN to lovers), they generually look interesting together, and Chloe already has (or did have) a crush on Ladybug, so that's to assume if she had an crush on Ladybug, she might be her type.

Also, before S4-5, I saw Marinette (other than Miss Bustier, Sabrina, and possibly Adrien) being really the only one who truly understands Chloe. I feel that Mari being Ladybug is more prominent when it comes to this. Also, I feel that Marinette and Chloe are a lot alike when you really think about it when you take away their different upbringings. People dislike these two together for obvious and understandable reasons (the way Chloe canonically treats Marinette, Chloe's a bully, Marinette gave up on Chloe etc.), but I personally think it has potential (or at least it did, until canon/Astruc ruined it).

Adribrina

👍

Adribrina isn't a bad ship. Two friends of mine got me invested in this ship (and it also comes from the fact that I also ship Lukabrina). From what I’ve gathered, people ship because it’s “cat and dog” shipping and the lack of interactions these two had in the series. So basically it completely resonates from potential, which is understandable. I also think it would be a bit interesting to see these two interact.

Lukalix

👍

I prefer this ship as a strong friendship, but I’m perfectly fine with people shipping it. It has some potential and the two are holders of time-related miraculouses 😄

Characters

Miss Bustier

Eh…

👍👎

Sorry. I know it’s a copout, but I legitimately feel REAL indifferent on Bustier right now. Her teachings at first came off as wholesome and understandable, but once you really look into it, not only she’s an enabler to Chloe’s bad behavior, but throws her actual good student under the bus and doesn’t even bother to take up for her against Lila (Ladybug episode). Then later ends up throwing Chloe under the bus too once she starts to “finally understand Chloe’s true nature”. Which I GET the intent behind this, but I don’t like it because SHE’S one of the many adults who enabled her in the first place, but now she wants to give up on her!?

“BUT Chloe got her fired even though she’s pregnant!” It doesn’t matter? I’m not trying to sound cruel here (because that really is messed up), but I just think as the grown adult who choose to enable Chloe and gave her the benefit of the doubt (compared to what she did for her other students btw), does she really have the right to bail on her now??? I’m not trying to sound insensitive or unsympathetic of Bustier’s situation, but I just think it’s not all on Chloe. I don’t think Miss Bustier is a bad person, but some of the stuff she does is seriously questionable.

Andre

👎👎👎

I didn’t necessarily “hate” Andre in the past, but now? He’s a corrupt politician and a bad father who gave up on his own daughter AND replaced her with a girl who’s not even 💯 his. I also hate how he’s somehow more sympathetic than the 14 year old girl who he failed to raise property. It’s so dumb that it’s constantly said that Chloe is “evil” because she doesn’t want to lose her privileges, but who GIVES HER those privileges in the first place??? So that automatically falls on her PARENT.

Rose

👍

I like her! She’s not my favorite character, but she’s a sweet character who represents jubilation well.

#a lot to say on this one I suppose #miraculous ladybug #ml #mlb #miraculous tales of ladybug and chat noir #miraculous #miraculous tales of ladybug and cat noir #miraculousbeezcentral #chlonette #lukalix #adribrina #rose lavillant #andre bourgeois #caline bustier #rant #vent #chloe bourgeois

ELYSE STARLING

Tagged by: No one.

B A S I C S

- Full name: Elyse Drusilla Starling - Gender: Female - Sexuality: Pansexual - Pronouns: She/Her

O T H E R

- Family: -> Father: Dorn Starling: He is Elyse’s human father. He owns the Starling Gem Mines. He’s a selfish man who is hyper focused on his image. He wants his daughter to act in a way that is becoming of him. Looking good in front of his rich friends is more important than his family’s happiness. He’s also trying to climb the political ladder with minimal success. He has been able to throw money at plenty of politicians. He's the one who tried to set up an arranged marriage for Elyse. -> Mother: Althaea Starling: She is Elyse’s high elf mother. She married Dorn for his money and he’s not all that heartbroken about it. She never wanted to be a mother, but it was expected of her. She’s never been maternal to Elyse. She’s controlling and needs everything to fall into place, including Elyse. You could compare her to Lucille Bluth. -Birthplace: Baldur’s Gate - Job: Noble - Phobias: Arachnophobia - Guilty pleasures: She likes to give herself flowers. Why wait for someone else to do it? She is a little embarrassed about it though, so she counts it as a guilty pleasure. Her other guilty pleasures are long luxurious baths, keeping up with gossip among nobility, and indulging in sweets. If she lived in the modern world, she'd be watching so much reality TV, like The Real Housewives of Baldur's Gate. - Hobbies: Archery, hunting, reading, dancing, helping people, picnics, writing letters, adventuring, and doodling

M O R A L S

- Alignment: Good Neutral - Sins: Pride, envy, and gossip - Virtues: Courageous, honest, compassionate

T H I S O R T H A T

- Introvert / Extrovert - Organized / Disorganized - Close-minded / Open-minded - Calm / Anxious / Restless - Disagreeable / Agreeable / In between - Cautious / Reckless / In between - Patient / Impatient / In between - Outspoken / Reserved / In between - Leader / Follower / Flexible - Empathetic / Unempathetic / In between - Optimist / Pessimist / Realist - Traditional / Modern / In between - Hard-working / Lazy

R E L A T I O N S H I P S

- OTP: Rolan x Elyse. I just genuinely thought Rolan getting with a noble was funny. It made more sense if she was a runaway noble though and not someone deep in the trenches. Her parents wouldn't approve of him and they can go to hell for it. - Acceptable Ships: I'm open to ship ideas or even Elyse/OC pairings! I think she'd also be good with Wyll or Karlach. - OT3: I don't have any for her. She's a pretty monogamous gal. - Brotp: -> Jaheira — I just feel like they would mesh. Jaheira would constantly make fun of her and Elyse would welcome it. It'd make her feel like a normal person and not a noble. -> Wyll — They just get each other. They grew up in similar circles. Children of privilege, they want to make something of themselves outside of their wealth. They also understand how they were treated by their fellow nobles. - Notp: I can't think of anything, honestly.

tagging: Anyone interested!

Hello, children of lusty void. I need to vent about censorship nonsense brewing up!

[first published as note on a fic of mine that has age gap and child marriage as the plot of romance, this here is an updated version of the author’s note for more people.]

Before the TiffnanyG election debacle, my OTP, and my fellow OTP fandom had been caught between pro-ship vs antis and the whole age gap is problematic idiocy.

Recently, I came across same problems on other fandoms where posts and accounts were created that have been exclusively targeting shippers, creators and consumers on Twitter and Instagram and Tumblr which have “problematic ship” dynamics namely characters with age gaps or have NSFW and other such things.

Look if you have faced bullying because of your ship preference, do not engage for your own mental well-being, report the account, share the account details with your fellow friends from the same ship fandom and do a mass reporting, and don't stop at that, send email to your respective social media companies and take screenshots at every step of it and keep it. In case you find no action has been taken, you can use the screenshots to make your case stronger when you re-report.

Shipping is a personal choice and no one has the right to ship-shame you, if these bullies can't distinguish between fiction and fictional characters and reality, then they are definitely in need of classes on critical reading and thinking. Please read this to understand what Proship means!

Fandom is meant to be a safe space you curate by your own choice where people with similar interest communicate, create, collaborate and fiction is the best way to explore one's ideas; sometimes those ideas can be cringy, problematic, vile or outright scary and that's okay and that’s why Dead Dove: Do Not Eat exists. Because we are channelling our ideas, thoughts and traumas and curiosities and thriving towards a path of self awareness with help of our fan art, fanfic, fic prompts, podfic, fmvs, amvs, animatics, songfic, character role-playing, cosplaying, writing threadfic or just engaging in speculative discussion or just vibing.

Thinking is not a crime, writing or creating creative work is not a crime. As long as you do not harm people in real life or practice the evil elements of your imagination in reality; you are fine as a person. Trust me; my mind is a wonderland of gore and angsty stories where I want characters to burn someone or declaw an animal for the story I am telling, and I have never gone and tied up a lover of mine with leather belts and poured burning liquid wax on them just because I imagined it and assumed it is a language of love, and I have many pets as well whom I will never hurt.

We should never shame shippers or fangirl, fanboys, fanperson for their OTP or headcanons, they are harming no one, if you don't like something, just ignore it!

Before ao3 existed, reading fanfics on Fanfiction dot net was playing a Russian Roulette. All the fics basically came with K, K+, T, M, MA, and it came with a warning Don’t Like it Don’t Read it! And then came the purge, overnight MA content was gone! And worse things happened, people stopped rating their insane stories! Instead of preventing people from reading triggering stuff with the rating, the rating system was used to censor people out and their work deleted!

Having Ao3’s tagging system is a privilege that has been built on years of trial and errors and loss of many stories! We are literally standing on a graveyard of purged and exiled stories! And it is a fanperson/fandom’s duty to make sure that you select your tags wisely and read the tags and story summary. Even after that, if people choose to violate the barricades put to protect them, why should the creators be blamed? [Read this]

And it is an awful and unhealthy attitude to engage with fanworks with so much hate, why would you waste your time hounding people of ships, ficwriters or fanartists you don't like? You cannot change the world with meanness. And how is sending CSEM (child sexual exploitation material) against Ao3 volunteers helping the cause of your protest?

I can understand why many of them oppose and demand content moderation, because of age difference, complicated and complex topics that need supervision and proper understanding before a person delves into them, and of course the NSFW stuff. First, they are fictional. Second, each creator changes or adds their own details in their creation.

Each writer can deal with age gap stories or any kind of topic the way they interpret it! Each artist will put their own twist to NSFW. Soulmate AUs sound loveliest, but they can be a horror story of about predestination vs free will! Yes, Soulmate AU horror story can make people uncomfortable because of the way it is written. Similarly, body possession trope can be a story of transition and self acceptance instead of presenting it as an invasion of body, or it can be written as a story of change!

Context brings clarity. Proship and Antis are by-product of same fandom. So how does these divides crop up? It is simple, people interpret things from different contextual standpoints. Many factors play role into the whole process of thought making; hence the terminology Thought Process. No two minds think the same because no two minds process the same information in the same way. Two people from the same fandom might come to a same fanfic; one for SMUT, while another comes to elongate the established emotional relation they have with the story. One can hate the fanfic for being NSFW and feel it is a corruption of their beloved story, and second others will love it for the NSFW because the OG Work didn’t have anything, and they wanted to read it. Both can be right and both can be wrong at the same time. Contextual reading/consumption is common, it is critically thinking and examining stories what makes aware brains. And by principle I am against censorship, because someone’s world view or imagined discomfort should not take away someone else’s right to express. Even if I don’t like a work of fiction, I will defend its existence. Words on paper [I mean all mediums] don’t hurt people, people hurt people.

Difference lies in how a story or art work is created, and if I had written a Soulmate AU Horror Story with tinted lenses, it definitely could be a read as a predatory story. I understand the concern about running into things that are “bad” in fiction! But not every work of fiction owes people comfort. We write the stories that we think needs to be told. Everyone has a right to be concerned, hence we think like this— “If we don’t let 10 years old into an A+ film in theatre, why should they be exposed to A+ stuff in words and artworks?”

Hence, the tags have been put up for better navigation. Hence, we have warnings and rating on Netflix screen when we turn on Squid Games. You cannot read a Mature story on Ao3 without consenting to read it. Many will argue —“But the trigger warnings and tags were not properly done.” No, you can’t expect every author to tag every possible thing that can trigger a reader. The trigger warnings are in place to give you a heads-up, a moment to understand what you are getting into, and should be used it as indication. No writer or creator wants to hurt you, we all write and create something because we love and want to share joy. How are people reacting to books in real life? Do you think Little Red Riding Hood should have a trigger warning for people with Lupophobia or Thanatophobia because Red Riding gets eaten by the wolf? And what about its rendition at the hands of Angela Carter, where beastiliy is written and printed in book form? Shape of Water has Monsterfucking, people knew about a monster from teaser, but not about the fucking. Like life, literature [including fanfics] are full of surprises, and we might not like many of them, it is part of growing up not just 16 turning 17 then 18, then 19; no you have to face shitty stuff your entire life because growing up is painful. And not liking something is a natural reaction, sometimes the dislike is overwhelming, and turns into rage and revulsion and yet you should not demand censorship!

Censorship kills creativity. If we give an inch to the voices of “but what about this and this group of people who suffered?” we open a crack to a system that is meant to preserve. The group who suffered, suffered at the hands of real physical people. A book murdered no one until it was held by a hand that saw it as a weapon, similarly reading/watching a “vile” fanfic or fanart could damage no one in real life, because there is no direct action and reaction that left consequences. Archive of Our Own is an ARCHIVE. It is meant to digitally preserve everything ever created in it, and slowly they are bringing in other fan works that are in danger of extinction as more and more people are capitalizing on the internet like it is real estate. And Ao3 was never meant to be the only fanspace! Tumblr used to be one, look what the purge did! When you implant censorship, you are pushing creators who are already marginalized to the extremes end of the internet. As Kis aka blow_me_a_kiss on Twitter said, Ao3 is not a business that needs a manager for people to complain about every time they run into things that don’t align with certain world views, it is a collective. This is how things and institutes and systems are meant to run publicly! You have to learn to curate your own reading/entertainment lists, and you really can’t appreciate the good without having your face slammed by the bad. Why should you or anyone need a pre-formed judgement about things they consume; reviews, kudos, comments, praises are all there to show what people felt after coming in contact with a creation, it is not a universally common experience! Hence, some people love Inception and hail it as masterpiece, while some people like me find it very basic storytelling. You have to have learn to face the bad! You must. Censorship is not about protecting the vulnerable! It never was, censorship has always been about exercising power over the vulnerable one. It takes a lot of courage and time for creators to present their beloved works to the world. Remember what happened to Isabal Fall? All she did was write a story, and people’s inbuilt fears and apprehensiveness turned into bullying which they projected on her, and she was forced to out herself! The same happened to Becky Albertalli author of Simon Vs The Homo Sapien Agenda.

I request you all not to engage with so much hate, I have been shipper/fanperson since I was 13 and been active on internet since 18! I began working on fics when my first ship was a rare pair, I am 29 today, and it is one of the biggest ships; biggest queer ships in my fandom!

Because of this OTP, I have made many friends and read amazing fictions and seen glorious fanarts and doujinshi and watch cosplayers do beautiful concept photography.

Please do not be mean and rude and do not bully people because you don't like something.

Death threats are not cool, they hurt, and can suck away a joy of participation from people. Even if the account you are bullying has an anime/manga image with no real name, there is a real person behind the screen.

Be kind.

Be fucking aggressively kind!

Every single muse I interact with is my absolute favorite. No cap. Literally I love them ur honor. You have such amazing characters that I'm so hype to have part of a shared universe. You have no idea how much love and detail you put into them. Everything about their personalities is unique, detailed and full of life. Plus we have one of the best and biggest OTPs ever. <3 <3 I love every single character and creation you put forth. Never stop!

so for the character ask thingy, Kevin Day please, he just lives in my brain and I both hate and love him because he's a bastard

((I accidentally sent this ask to whomever you reblogged that post from, who in fact didn't know who Kevin Day was, and was very sweet but a little confused, it was an event))

OMGGGGGG IM SO SORRY THIS GOT LOST IN MY INBOX i know this ask is from forever ago but i’ll answer it anyways-

Favorite thing about him: the ✨vibes✨ /j (i actually really admire how he found his strength throughout the story when everyone was trying to belittle and disempower him)

least favorite thing: it’s not his fault but i hate Thea so much- their whole relationship was just terrible

brOTP: probably allison- i think they would really respect each other and they have similar vibes (i also have a very specific fic idea that i’ll never write of them going shopping for formal wear together)

OTP: if i’m being honest, i think he’s aromantic, and while he could still be in a qpr, i don’t think he’s ready for that (at least not where we leave him in TKM)

nOTP: Thea. ugh

random headcanon: he’s just the shittiest driver. he texts while driving, and he eats and drinks while driving. he’s one of those people who will turn and look at you when they should be watching the road. just absolutely terrible at it. that’s why he gets shoved in the backseat- he lost his car privileges after almost killing everyone

unpopular opinion: i actually don’t think he’s that much of an asshole.

song i associate with them: i have several playlists. but the one that strikes me the most is First by Cold War Kids

(Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth/heavy as a feather when you hit the dirt/how am i the lucky one?/i did not deserve to wait around forever when you were there first)

Favorite pic:

(sorry, i don’t have credit for the artist, but the art isn’t mine)

pag-agos (e/é)

left tumblr five years ago and came back because of the quarantine; she’s an aspiring journalist and he’s as angry as ever.

oneshot. au: 1970s martial law, philippines. tw: implications of police brutality, state oppression, and an explicit mention of death.

her eyes ran down the list in front of her.

soliven. mitra. diokno. aquino. all whisked away by the dictatorship, led to God-knows-where.

they won’t even spare the rich, she thought, a sick feeling forming in her stomach. she addresses ‘the rich’ as if she weren’t part of that lot, having grown up in a family that hailed from a line of indios but made their way to the top – albeit through deplorable, corrupt means. she knew of her father’s schemes as the mayor of a nearby town, then the graft that was committed to make him a head officer for the philippine constabulary; it made her sick to her core.

the singing of angry students floated to her ears. “marcos hitler diktador tuta! marcos hitler diktador tuta!” she heard them from afar, as if they were ghosts – but her eyes were too fixed on the list to care.

“i can’t believe they got soliven.” was all she managed to say. max soliven was a known journalist and the founder for the Philippine Star. he was also an avid pro-democratist; as a fellow journalist and pro-democratist herself, éponine adored him – she always did her best to channel him and primitivo mijares when she wrote her articles for The Guidon.

she looked up, meeting the fair skin and deep hazel eyes of the burgis boy in front of her. burgis, a twisted take on the bourgeois of the french – but that may as well be who he was. a fair-skinned burgis boy from Forbes Park, raised with a cobblestone driveway and marble floors. he had a whole portfolio of haciendas waiting for him at the end of his college career.

“i know,” he said, his voice quiet. “they got diokno, too.”

éponine knew how much enjolras adored pepe diokno, the attorney that actively spoke out against the cruel dictatorship; but underneath the grief from the attorney’s disappearance, she heard his fear. if they aren’t afraid of the rich, they can get his family too, she thought. burgis as he was, enjolras was raised by a woman that unabashedly spoke out against the regime; she was the one who inspired him to be the tibak that éponine knows him as today.

he straightened his back and he cleared his throat. “there’s going to be another rally in manila today.”

she felt her heart fall to her stomach. she wanted to say, please don’t–don’t go, don’t leave; they can get you, too, but his hard tone was telling her that he wasn’t asking permission. “so i’ve heard,” she said instead. she refused to look at him; he already looked translucent under the monsoon winds and dwindling manila heat.

“i’ll be leaving soon,” he said. “jean’ll be taking us there. this rally is organized by Lasallites, so the rendevous will be in front of their main hall. we’ll be marching to the Malacañang from there.”

you’re crazy, she thought. they’ll get to you before you even set foot out of malate.

“bring some water with you. that’s gonna be a long walk,” she said, her voice clipped. she couldn’t bear to see his face, already pale to her. after a long silence, he said, “okay.”

he’ll come back to me, she told herself. there’s no point in saying goodbye.

she heard him get up from the bench, the shuffling of feet and rustling of bags too painful for her to bear. before he could walk away, he said, “see you tomorrow, ép.”

“you better, you asshole.”

she heard him chuckle and willed herself to look his way. he was already jogging over to the group of student activists – so young, they’re all so young – chanting, “marcos hitler diktador tuta!”

the last she saw of him was jean clapping his shoulder, signaling that they had to go. he didn’t look back – he never did, because he was icarus and he always willed his wings to bring him closer to the sun.

when she saw jean on campus the next day, on crutches with a broken nose and a swollen lip, she almost keeled with dread. “where is he?” she asked him, eyes glinting with worry and fury and – please please please don’t let it be – growing grief. jean was silent.

“jean, where is he?” she repeated, louder and twisted with anguish. i refused to look at his face before he left, she thought. i need you to tell me i could see him again.

“i’m sorry, éponine.”

she felt the blood drain from her body.

“metrocom shot at whoever resisted. i tried grabbing him, taking him away before he got hurt – but you know how stubborn he is.”

all she could do was nod. jean nodded his head in return, a quiet apology and a condolence she didn’t want to hear. when he was out of sight, she ran.

she ran and ran, letting her feet carry her. she ran until she couldn’t, and when she collapsed, she screamed.

“you told me you’d come back!” she wailed. “it was a promise, you asshole! you promised me!”

she felt someone hold her from behind. with her last bit of hope, she whirled around, hoping to see the hazel eyes that she desperately needed to hold onto because he can’t be gone.

instead she saw ferre, his best friend.

“he promised me, ferre,” she said, her tiny voice cracking. “he promised me he’d see me today.”

she couldn’t bear to see the onlookers, friends and school mates who were silently grieving with her.

“he died for all of us, ép. he died for you.”

she hadn’t attended a rally since. even though she became the most ferocious political journalist of the Philippine Star, she refused to attend any of the demonstrations that littered the city –

(bring them home, please, bring them all home, she prayed, every time her friends went to battle. to her relief, they all managed to come back, though each time more battered than the last.)

– but the news of aquino’s death was the last straw.

in the haze of her rage she found herself throwing articles of marcos’ downfall like fireballs. whispers of enrile’s and ramos’ accession to the people soon became cries for revolution, and the next time her head cleared, she was already marching down Epifanio de los Santos Avenue.

when she found herself face-to-face with the barrel of a gun, she raised her chin, met the soldier’s eyes, and lifted her hand in an ‘L’.

“laban,” she said, in memory of him.

this is a deeply embarrassing thought but. “there is a light that never goes out” is very much a hunnihawk song :/

#something something ‘take me out tonight because i want to see people and i want to see life’ vs. ‘we’ll go dancing’/‘i lead’#something ‘to die by your side/well the pleasure the privilege is mine’ vs. ‘hold me and let me die in your arms?’#mash #tv: mash #otp: hunnihawk

003 Chad

Hi luv!

About this ask:

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you

How I feel about this character: I don't like Chad canon and what they did to him in his arc. I don't like that this character is Ella's child. But... I like what the fandom has done with Chad. I like the analysis and development that he can have. I like the potential that Chad has. Especially when it comes to learning to recognize the authoritarianism of the government and his privileged position. I like that Chad is actually smart, he has the rules memorized in his head. I like that Chad is charismatic and manipulative. I like that Chad knows that he is attractive and uses it to his advantage. I like that Chad is a romantic and strives to make the people he loves happy. Now, take all of that and make a good character. A kind and brave character. Take all that and make a son worthy of Ella. Sounds interesting right? Well, if you are interested in this I invite you to read RebelPaisley. Say that Nocturna sent you (?). But it's thanks to this author that I saw Chad's potential and started adding him to my stories. I like Chad. This Chad.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Audrey, Ben, Jay, Gil, Evie, Lonnie, Jane.

My non-romantic OTP for this character:Ben, Jane, Doug, Jay, Carlos, Uma

My unpopular opinion about this character: They didn’t know what to do with Chad. They didn't know what to do with Chad after he served for Evie's arc.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: They owe me the friendship between Ben and Chad. They made Chad the joke of everyone. And they took away any redemption arc from him. Does anyone remember how in the middle D1 Chad and Jay seemed to reach a friendship? And how does Ben mess up Chad's hair in the end? What happened with that? Eh? And secondly, how do they happen to have Ella's son and the Fairy Godmother's daughter and not have them as best friends (or something more, IDK)? Chad must have been Jane’s prince. And Jane must have been Chad's fairy. Platonic or not. Can you imagine how cool it would have been if they referred to each other as "mine"? "Yeah, Chad is obsessed with being the perfect prince and sometimes he looks like a fool. But he's my fool for as long as I can remember. So don’t be rude with MY fool." or "Ben, we need to talk, I know Jane is helping you with being king but you are exhausting her. And before she is your pretty assistant she's my pretty Jane. So I booked a day at the SPA for us. I'm not asking you, I am informing you. " Can you imagine? No, enough, I'm going to get frustrated by myself.

my het ship: Audrey x Chad, Evie x Chad, Chad x Jane, Chad x Lonnie

my slash ship: Ben x Chad, Gil x Chad, Jay x Chad

my OTP: Audrey x Chad

my polyship: Sea Three + Audrey + Chad

my kink: Accidental stimulation, bitting (receiving), begging, bondage (rope bunny), breath play, chastity (cock cage), collaring, corsetry, cuckolding, cupping, degradation (degradee), discipline (receiving), dirty talking (receiving), electric play (violet wand), exhibitionism, flogging (receiving), frotting, hair pulling (receiving), impact play (receiving), little one, masochism, nipple playing, nylon fetish, orgasm denial, pet play (pet), sensation play, sensory deprivation (blindfold and gag), spanking (receiving), role play, submissive (little one, servant), tentacle fetish, tickling, underwear fetish, uniform fetish, voyeurism, wax play.

a hc fact: Chad relies too much on symbols of authority. It was very difficult for him to accept that Auradon wasn’t the perfect place that he was taught it to be. Chad is afraid of breaking the rules and being sent to the island and ending up in the situation that his mother lived through. He is afraid of small spaces.

my gender bend: mmmm good question... Maybe like this:

Big eyes, curly hair, and apparent innocence. Because she knows she's adorable and cute, so she uses it to her advantage.

Recovery

Chapter 9 of Ricochet (An Open Heart AU)

Catch up here: Series Masterlist

Chapter Synopsis: As Heather is set to recover, will her relationship with Rafael follow the same path?

Pairing: Rafael Aveiro x MC (Dr. Heather Song) | Bryce Lahela x MC (Dr. Heather Song) ft. PLATONIC Dr. Ethan Ramsey

Words: 1.4k+ | Genre: Crime, Suspense/Thriller, Romance

Rating/Warnings: Mature (16+) / themes of physical and emotional trauma

Author's Notes: This very very very angsty chapter was inspired by a favorite song of mine from Taylor Swift's 1989 album, Clean. Halfway through, I wrestled with the emotions of this chapter, and another song titled Say Something, a haunting duet by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera helped me complete the rest of the narrative.

Thank you so much for taking time to read this series. Please let me know if you want me to include/remove you in the tags list. Also, disclaimer: Majority of the characters are owned by Pixelberry, except the main character Heather Song.

Rafael watched from a distance as the doctors scrambled to revive her back to life.

Seeing her actually slip away terrified him. But what was more horrific is how he could only watch on helplessly, with no ability to come to her rescue. It shook him to the core.

For so long he believed that he can be her own personal savior, her superman. But during the most crucial of times, the sinking knowledge that he simply can't fulfill the one promise he made gnawed at him life a nightmare coming to life.

The fact that he himself had inflicted a deep wound on her heart just a few days ago crushed him all the more.

He had no right to be here, he realized. He had already gave up that privilege on the day he chose his ego over her. It was when he decided to fulfill his fantasy of being someone else's hero, rather than coming to terms with the truth that she will never need him the way he wanted to.

Even when the flashback of them at Donahues, where he asked her to consider taking him back, nipped at his already guilt-ridden heart. The sheer audacity of him to demand that from her, only a selfish person without care would ask someone to do that.

The illusion that he hold onto for so long crumbled into dust. With it, was his determination to cling to what once was.

"She's going to be okay, Raf," his silent torment was interrupted by Elijah, who approached him in the corner of the room.

He looked up to him, then to the direction where she was laid down, and heard the merciful evenly-paced beep of the heart rate monitor.

Relief washed over him. She lived.

He quietly mouthed a thank you to Dr. Greene. When he was left alone yet again, he ruminated at the stormy thoughts that filled his head.

She has suffered enough heartache for a lifetime. And for him to continue to pursue her is to only prolong her trauma and heartache over his actions. For them, there was no recovery.

Today was not a chance to begin again. It was a chance to make it right and finally give up.

It was then that he decided, it was time to let her go.

***

Heather woke up as she was wheeled into the hospital room. The white fluorescent light made her eyes flicker, her vision trying to adjust to the sudden brightness after a long stay in the dark.

A baritone voice boomed into the quiet, jolting her consciousness awake.

"Well, you put up a mighty fight today, Rookie."

Heather couldn't help a snicker, her vision darting around to sought out the speaker.

"I had to, or you'll probably chase me to the afterlife with your scalding commentary, Dr. Ramsey."

She heard him chuckle in response.

"Still snarky, I see," the attending quipped, as he approached the side of her bed and pressed a button on a remote. Slowly, her upper body raised up, as the headboard elevated. She tried to curve her lips into a smile only to feel a tingling pain, making her wince a little.

"Easy there, Dr. Song. You just went to hell and back today." Ethan said, a clipboard tucked between his fingers.

"Funny that you say that," she said. "I still feel like hell though."

Her mentor can only manage a faint smile, an endearing affection coming across his piercing blue eyes. She knew that look. It was the same kind of gaze she saw him give Dolores during her intern year. A subtle look of genuine concern which she attributed to their growing relationship as mentor and protege.

It was just a matter of seconds before that look vanished, replaced by a more formal version.

"It's going to be a couple of days of recovery for you," he explained. "You suffered from severe hyperkalemia, which, with the help of your friend from the DA, we have managed to de-escalate as soon as possible."

Heather couldn't help but blink at what was just mentioned. "I'm sorry, my friend from the DA?"

"Yes, ADA Lahela was able to identify the correct chemical compound within the first half hour after you arrived here," he paused as he checked the flow of her IV. "It aided us to do the proper intervention in the nick of time."

He was right. Anymore than 30 minutes into the system, potassium chloride would have bound to the blood cells and would have caused permanent, if not fatal damage in her system.

She'll have to thank Bryce the first chance she gets. Her memories went back to their last conversation, and she shivered at the unavoidable confrontation that will take place.

Her hands trailed up to her temple, where she felt a bandage. She recalled her fall, thinking it was how she got wounded.

"Ah, yes. We're going to do an MRI for that, just to make sure we're not missing anything else. But apart from that, you'll do alright." He concluded.

"Thanks Dr. Ramsey," her appreciation was sincere.

He nodded. He was about to express something else, when a knock on the door hindered him.

Both of them swiveled at the visitor. Heather swallowed hard as the dark brown eyes looked back at her, the familiar figure standing by the doorway.

"May I come in?" Rafael said with a hint of hesitation as he put a foot forward.

Ethan Ramsey twisted his gaze back to Heather, checking if he would allow the young man in. Although he saw her body tense, she lightly nodded.

"Sure, Agent Aveiro. We're just about finished here." the attending gently patted Heather's hand. "I'll see you in the morning, Rookie."

When Dr. Ramsey departed, Raf made his way towards her, as if in a daze. Heather bit her lower lip and touched the tips of her brunette fringes. The thin tube of the IV tangled in her arm giving her an excuse to avert her eyes away from his for a few seconds.

"Are you doing alright?" Raf asked, taking a seat on the standard-issued metal chair beside her bed.

"Yeah, I'm okay, I've been through worse." she mumbled, almost whispering.

A sharp pang of contrition reverberated within him, unsure of which ordeal she just called as a better alternative than what she just went through. Although his adultery was probably a main contender.

His head bowed low as if navigating through the warring indecision between his heart and mind. While distracted, a soft pitter-patter of rain slid against the glass window. It was as if nature was conspiring against him, yet another heaven-given sign that their end was inevitable.

How can ending a relationship be made easier? There was no path that would prove to be less difficult, except for an admission of the truth. The least hurtful road to traverse is the turn towards an honest confession that what they had has intersected with their own definition of their limits.

Rafael cleared his throat, the noise making Heather face him.

"Heather," he began. "I know I promised to be the person who you can turn to, anytime you needed." His lips quivered, fumbling with the right words to say.

"But I broke that," he simply said, reaching for her hands and lacing it with his. His head dropped so low in between his shoulders that his cheek touched the fabric of her hospital blanket.

Her eyes shone as she slowly took in his words, soaking in the finality of the tone he uttered them with. When she survived her kidnapping tonight, she initially thought she won a battle. But only hours after, they were losing the war.

Rafael's tears soaked through the white sheet, like the rain that drowned the street outside the sullen, sterile hospital room. His muffled groans of defeat echoed through the silence that crawled in between. Although his heart burst in a million shards, deep down he knew it was ultimately for the best.

They couldn't remember how long they stayed still. Eventually, he lifted his head where his gaze fell upon the softness of her features. His thumb gently grazed her cheek, asking for permission. She nodded, an unspoken agreement similar to what she used to give him before.

In a heartbeat, their lips met, savouring the taste of each other, fully aware that this will be the very last time. The kiss was sweet, but tainted bitter by their unspoken farewell. When they pulled apart, there was no question that it was the end of the road for them.

There was nothing left to say.

But before they separated, a set of amber eyes witnessed the ending of their love affair, misinterpreting it as a last ditch effort to salvage the remnants of their irreparable relationship.

The prosecutor fled from the hospital room without so much as a word, unnerved by the scene that put another blow on his own pursuit of love.

***

Author's Notes 2: Although Rafael is still my OTP, what he did in the beginning of this series rendered him and Heather permanently broken. Cheating, no matter the justifications, will always be cheating. And dealing with the consequences of it, especially by the offended party, will be a hard mountain to summit. Raf chose to let Heather go, and for me, that proves that he loves Heather enough, so that he could spare her from further emotional trauma. She has more than enough to deal with now.

Twice React- Idol! Fem! S/O Accidentally Makes Out With Them on New Year’s

Requested: Yup

Request: Can I get a Twice reaction of them and their female idol gf doing a New Years kiss that turns into a passionate make out session? I love your writing so much! Stay heathy and happy 😊♥️♥️

a/u: Happy New Year! Thank you so much for all the love and support this year, and I wish you all the best for the new year! Thank you all so much, I love you all! (I posted early, my bad)

Category: NSFW(-ish) and Fluff

Nayeon

“I guess that’s one way to ring in the New Year.” (I got all my OTPs in one go, sorry not sorry)

The two of you didn’t intend for it to happen. But the taste of champagne on Nayeon’s lips was just too much to resist. Your hands were intertwined with your girlfriend’s as all ten of you watched the t.v. screen. You all watched the clock count down as you and Nayeon looked at each other, “3...2...1! Happy New Year!” The ten of you all grabbed your partner as everyone’s lips met another’s: You with Nayeon, Jeongyeon with Jihyo, Mina with Momo, Sana with Dahyun, and finally Chaeyoung with Tzuyu. The sound of fireworks and music played from the speakers as everyone pulled away, well everyone but the two of you. The small kiss turned more heated as Nayeon swiped her tongue along your lower lip as she pulled you closer, moaning quietly as you nipped at her lip playfully. The two of you were completely lost in each other before Jihyo cleared her throat, effectively stopping the two of you, “Before you suck each other’s faces off. Get a room.” A heavy blush paints both of your cheeks as you rub the back of your neck awkwardly, “Heh...Happy New Year, everyone.”

Jeongyeon

“I’m not blushing!”

Jeongyeon wasn’t one for skinship outside of the privacy of your own home. But it was New Year’s, and she couldn’t have looked more beautiful. Both your group and Twice would be performing at the award show tonight and you couldn’t be happier as you watched your girlfriend. Anxiously waiting until all of the idols were gathered on stage to ring in the New Year. You could hear the MCs as they spoke, “Let’s go everyone! 3...2...1! Happy New Year!” Fireworks exploded as streamers rained from above. You ran from your group as you left the group hug and straight for Twice, “Jeongyeon!” Your girlfriend pulled away from the group hug of their own as she turned to face you, but before she could say anything your lips were on hers. As the two of your lips met everything and everyone seemed to fade away as you pulled Jeong closer, holding firmly at her hips as she wrapped her arms around your neck. You suddenly felt people separate the two of you as both Twice and your members looked in shock, “You know you two are still in public right?” You both hide your faces in your hands before you whisper in Jeongyeon’s ear, “I guess we’ll continue this later then.” Jeong slaps your arm as you laugh, moving back with your group as you wink at your girlfriend.

Momo

“Who said we were done?”

Your girlfriend was shameless. And that was just one of the many reasons you felt yourself fall harder for Hirai Momo that night. Twice and your members were all crammed into your guy’s dorm, deciding it would be fun to invite your girlfriend’s group over to the dorm for New Year’s; your members not missing how you smiled at the thought of kissing her at midnight, “Y/N, can you stop smiling for one second. We know you’re gonna kiss Momo Unnie.” You blushed at your member’s words as everyone laughed at your expense, “Well at least I have someone to kiss.” You stuck your tongue out as your member pouted making you laugh. “It’s almost time!” Sana screamed from the couch as she had her arms around Tzuyu’s neck. You all gathered together as you counted down, “5..4..3...2...1!” You turned to your girlfriend as you kissed her, her lips tasted of the wine she had drunk earlier, you smiled against her lips as you started to pull away, only to have Momo push you back with a hand behind your head deepening the kiss. “There are children present!” You two pulled away as Twice covered your members eyes, before your maknae spoke, “It’s nothing we haven’t seen before.” Earning laughter from all the women in the room.

Sana

“Happy New Year’s to you too, Jagi.”

Sana was always the one to fluster you. So you just thought it would be fitting to return the favor. You had to admit the two of you were feeling a little tipsy by the time midnight came around, leaning against each other as the members started the countdown, “...2...1! Happy New Year’s!” Twice cheered as they hugged, Sana smiled up at you as she connected your lips, you couldn’t help but smile against her as you deepened it. The two of you seemed to be in your own little world as you continued to kiss Sana, moving forward so that you were leaning on top of her. You smirked as you heard a small whimper slip past your girlfriend’s lips which made the rest of her member’s cringe as they put a stop to it, “Okay, that’s enough you two.” Jeongyeon looked down at the two of you as you blushed, “Sorry.” Momo just rolled her eyes as she smiled at her best friend, “Go use mine and Jeong’s room tonight. Go get some, Satang!” It was now Sana’s turn to blush as you laughed, dragging her up and toward the offered room. “If you get too loud you both are out of the dorm.” Jihyo crossed her arms, before you gave her a smug smile before you closed the door, “Says you.”

Jihyo (My personal favorite)

“Y/N, the others!”

Jihyo was the leader, an example of what idols should strive to be. But the second your tongue was in her mouth, all rational thoughts were thrown to the wind. You smiled as you and Jihyo stood with the rest of Twice on the dorm’s rooftop, overlooking the city as you listened to the New Year’s countdown on Nayeon’s phone. “Come on guys! It’s gonna start!” Nayeon’s voice pierced through the night as all ten of you went to the railing, “3...2..1! Happy New Year guys!” Nayeon laughed as she pecked Jeongyeon on the cheek, making the younger girl groan in disgust before she quickly returned the kiss much to Nayeon’s delight. You rolled your eyes as you looked to your girlfriend, Jihyo smiled as you brought her into a kiss. Your lips were warm against each other as you pulled her closer by her hips. Running your tongue along her lower lip as she let you enter her mouth, she hummed in delight as she rested her arms on your shoulders pulling you further into the kiss before her members started whistling and cheering. You both pulled away in embarrassment as Sana and Nayeon pouted at the both of you, “What the hell Jihyo! You’re allowed to make out with Y/N, but I’m not allowed to kiss you guys on your birthday?” Nayeon whined as she turned to Jeongyeon, “That is so unfair. Why do you get to have special privileges with Y/N?” Jihyo deadpanned at the eldest as she leaned against you, “Y/N, is my girlfriend.” Nayeon just rolled her eyes as she pulled Jeongyeon into a kiss on the lips, surprising the younger girl immensely, “So?” You laughed at the completely red face of the second eldest, “Looks like you have a long night ahead of you, Jeongyeon-ssi.”

Mina

“Y/N they’re staring.”

You were just too happy to finally see your girlfriend. Which led to the best, yet most embarrassing kiss of Mina’s life. Today was the day you had been waiting months for, the day you would finally be able to see Mina. The ten of you had made the trip to a park by their dorm to celebrate New Year’s, all going incognito as to not be spotted and bombarded with fans. You clutched Mina’s hand tightly as you guy’s walked around the festival, trying out various foods she had missed and occasionally dancing to a song or two of theirs or your group’s. You laughed as you all regrouped and waited for the countdown and fireworks, “10..9...8…” you looked at Mina as she watched all the people around you, you smiled at the fond look in her eyes as you whispered in her ear, “I love you, Minari.” The countdown got louder as Mina spoke, “I love you too, Y/N-chan.” The fireworks went off as the crowd cheered, “Happy New Year’s!” You grinned at Mina as she flashed you a gummy smile before you pulled her into a kiss. Taking the air out of her lungs as you pulled her closer, wanting nothing more than just staying in this moment. Until Chae coughed to break you apart, “Alright lovebirds. You two can finish this at the dorm. We’re still in public.” You laughed awkwardly as Mina hid her face in your neck, “Thanks Chaengie.” The younger girl smiled as she went back to Dahyun, sending you a wink, “No problemo.”

Dahyun

“This is definitely a New Year’s I won’t forget. Or one they’ll let me forget.”

Dahyun was the good church girl. But only when you weren’t grabbing her by the hips and kissing her against a wall. You and Dahyun watched the t.v. over her member’s heads as you guys stood at the back of the room. You guys smiled as you watched her members: Chaeyoung shamelessly flirting with Mina, Nayeon attempting to get Tzuyu’s attention, Momo nearly falling asleep on Jeongyeon, and Sana trying to convince Jihyo to kiss her. The two of you lean against the wall as the countdown starts playing through the t.v., “5..4..3...2..1, Happy New Year!” Dahyun smiles as she turns to kiss you, her arms wrapping around your neck as you push her against the wall. Your hands slide up and down her sides as you both continue to kiss. Her members whistling while some take a picture or video, “Hello? Earth to Dahyun and Y/N. We’re still here you know.” Sana says as she raises an eyebrow at the two of you. Dahyun slowly makes her way out from under you as her face burned with embarrassment, “Sorry.” Sana just rolls her eyes as she laughs, “At least you found someone who’s a good kisser. Eh, Y/N.” You look down as Sana laughs. This was one memorable New Year’s for sure.

Chaeyoung

“I love you too.”

This was the first New Year’s the two of you would share as a couple. So you wanted to make it as memorable for Chae as possible. Chaeyoung looked impatiently at the clock as she clung to your arm, “Why can’t it be midnight already?” You chuckle as you kiss Chae’s head, “Chill baby cub. You can just kiss me now if you want.” But Chaeyoung just shook her head as she watched the countdown become seconds, “I can wait.” You shrug as you hold her closer, “It’s almost time.” You could practically feel the excitement radiate off your girlfriend as her members began the countdown, “Thank you for everything this year, Y/N-ah.” You smile as the seconds begin to dwindle, “I wouldn’t have it any other way than with you by my side, Chaeyoungie.” As the words left your mouth her members shouted, “Happy New Year!” Chae took that as a cue as she pulled you into a kiss, you smiled at her excitement as you pulled her closer. Her members fell silent as they watched the two of you, “Chae, Y/N still needs air.” Jeong teased as Chaeyoung pulled away blushing, “I...I know that.” You smirk as you pull your girlfriend into a hug, “It didn’t seem like that a few seconds ago.” Chae groaned as she playfully hit your arm, “Who’s side are you on?”

Tzuyu

“Woah.”

Tzuyu was a girl of few words. But her actions definitely spoke a whole lot louder. You loved Tzuyu more than anyone you had ever been with in the past and you couldn’t help but feel your heart flutter every time you looked at her. And tonight was no different as you held onto her hand as you followed her members out of the convenience store for a late night snack run before midnight. But it seemed as though time had escaped you all as you looked at your phone: 23:56. There was no way you guys would be able to make it home in time, so you quickly found a live stream of the New Year’s program and began to play it as all the members began to say, ‘Thank you’ to one another. Finally, people started chanting the countdown through your phone as you all joined in, “3...2...1! Happy New Year!” Twice yelled into the early morning as they hugged each other, you joined before you pulled away to capture Tzuyu’s lips; surprising the girl before she melted into your embrace. The two of you continued the kiss without noticing it was turning into a make out session before Momo stopped you guys, “Okay, that’s enough of that for us.” You coughed awkwardly as you pulled away, your girlfriend’s face painted all shades of red making Nayeon laugh, “Aww is our Tzuyu blushing?” Tzuyu hid her face in your hair as she clung to your arm, you shook your head at Nayeon as you smiled whispering into your girlfriend’s ear, “Well you look really cute regardless. Happy New Year’s, Tzumong.” Tzuyu smiled as she hugged you again, “Happy New Year’s, Y/N-ah.”

Sorry it's taken me forever for this, but I always forget to check my tags lol. For the WIP thing, I'd love to hear about True Likes and Breakfast at Castiel's :)

oops, I “saved this for the AM” and then completely forgot about it. my bad, sorry @ltleflrt!! And thank you for asking <3 The True Lies one is loosely based on a movie (with some twists), and is from (and for, if it ever gets written, lol) a lovely friend of mine aka @DCLovesDestiel who runs the NICEST Destiel group on FB (shoutout ~Destiel OTP~!!)

Cas is a secret agent named Dmitri Krushnic, and Dean is his nurse husband, who thinks Cas is just a tax accountant. Dean thinks Cas doesn't really want him anymore, but Cas is just super busy with a case. When Dean gets accidentally involved, chaos ensues!

Something, something... a dangerous toxin created in the research lab is meant for bio-warfare. Dean stumbles upon what it actually does when one of the creators is accidentally infected and comes to the ER for help. The creator is ready to flip and has already called the CIA. Dean’s patient gets murdered by Cas’ partner to keep him quiet and Dean walks in as it happens. Cas’ co-workers come to do “clean-up”. Their instructions are to take Dean out too, since he knows too much. They bring him somewhere to kill him and Cas walks in, since he’s the one assigned to do said clean-up (not knowing it’s Dean). Without hesitation, Cas shoots his team members instead and takes off with Dean, then they have to unravel the case together while the CIA is chasing them and the dude creating the toxin is trying to put his bio-warfare plan into motion.

I’m a little hesitant to write this one now, because the themes in it are VERY similar to @kitmistry‘s AMAZING fic, “Stumble and Fall” (https://archiveofourown.org/works/25481824), which I LOVEDDDDD. From the action to the romance, the pacing and the style is all just... *chef’s kiss*. Highly recommend if this kind of fic is something you like (or you just like good fics, lol). I just know my brain would subconsciously try to jack her skills, bahaha.

And the other one, Breakfast at Castiel’s, was for that Reddit-based prompt that was going around about the guy who keeps going to Waffle House, seemingly to pick a fight with the guy who is intentionally fucking up his eggs. My notes: Cook Castiel/Customer Dean Dean comes to the waffle house with Lisa regularly. Has some kind of emotional attachment to the WH/eggs from childhood or something. Cas overcooks his eggs by accident, then continues to do so, thinking he’s being funny, not realizing Dean is actually upset about it until Dean throws the eggs at him and calls him a douchebag.

Also a sassy asshole who is not socially aware enough to realize he’s pissing someone off with his jokes until there’s egg on his shirt... They fight.

Dean leaves but keeps coming back, and Castiel can’t decide what Dean’s deal is, so he starts thinking up new ways to fuck with Dean’s eggs and they keep getting into fights about it.

Cas is possibly aware of his customer's growing pissed-off-ness but gives no shits. Grouchy, smitey asshole whose philosophy is, “you will eat the eggs I cook you the way I cook them, and you will thank me for the privilege.”

Except the fights are getting… more and more intense. And maybe Cas slams Dean over a table at one point and Dean feels he’s hard? Cas runs off, Dean follows him out back.

They have angry sex by the dumpster, still yelling at each other about eggs as they get it on.

Dean's going to be like great, now every time I smell bacon I get an erection.

omg lmao wtf am i doing? Sorry you had to read that bahaha

GG Headcannons

Tagged by @sothischickshe. Thanks, boo ;-)

Ship: Beth x Rio -- in honor of our lovebirds day for GGWEEK2020

38. What is/are their love language(s)?

Haha, this has already made its way into one of my ficlets. I am also writing love languages into my next chapter of Better Be Mine. I can’t let it go!! I don’t actually care about them as tool for my irl relationship but it’s so easily identifiable for Brio. So my headcanons here...

Rio’s love languages:

Rio prefers to receive love through Quality Time.

Rio shows love through Physical Touch.

Beth’s love languages:

Beth prefers to receive love through Words of Affirmation.

Beth shows love through Acts of Service

49. Do they have differing political opinions?

Lol, @sothischickshe I can’t believe you tagged me in this!!!! Stop reading into the underlying vibes of Beth/Rio conversations in my fics!

So the short version of my response is: yes.

Now the absurdly long response:

I think about Rio & Beth a lot. I think about them talking about politicized issues quite a bit and imagine them in conversation with each other, teasing their beliefs apart. I like picturing these conversations instigated by hard parenting moments, things in the news, and things that come up as they finally start saying more words to each other. I think Rio could also just directly ask Beth about her political beliefs (I can’t necessarily picture the reverse yet).

I think Beth is definitely more conservative than Rio -- and that’s an assumption I make because Rio’s a Latinx guy who probably came up with lack of access to wealth, and Beth as a white woman in the suburbs who formerly perceived herself/her family as wealthy.

Beth’s characterization is complicated -- sometimes it really leans into Karen stereotypes/white woman privilege (lol, I cannot believe they literally had her show up at Gil’s workplace. I CRINGE!) and other times her beliefs and actions positively surprise me. Personally, in my fic writing, I love leaning into an idea that Beth grew up more working class/experienced neglect from her parents. I don’t want to romanticize these experiences but trauma around financial insecurity & complicated family relationships personally resonates with me. Ugh, I love writing about it, and it’s something that I read in her childhood that I like to lean into. That flashback in Season 2 really humanized Beth for me and it really made me love her.

Okay, that was a major digression about class, but her life experience must lend itself to her political beliefs. She married into a wealthier family -- a family that owned it’s own business, was financially stable and just... a family perpetuating all the harmful effects of white heterosexuality and problematic gendered labor. And she conformed to it! Beth diminished herself to make herself fit there, to find safety and stability, to feel worth. So, I think her politics as an adult are also “safe” and probably echo the popular moderate trends in normative, toxic parent groups. Honestly, irl as a queer WOC who is anti-capitalist and been forced to be political for my own self-preservation and preservation of folks I love, I would not seek out PTA Beth’s friendship for multiple reasons, but I still have such a soft spot for Beth as a character?

That being said, Beth in the context of Annie & Ruby is obviously a different Beth. She loosens up in these spaces, she speaks her mind much more freely and in these scenes she comes as a normal, relatable human and she’s funny and prim and awkward. I think she comes across as somewhat liberal but not particularly educated on the issues/progressive (as is the way most characters are characterized on network TV). In this vein, she throws around a lot of white privilege and because some of it has gone un-interrogated in the context of the show... I’m not sure how intentional these vibes are or if it’s just par the course of it being white-owned network TV. Obviously characters are allowed to make mistakes and do shitty things, but I wish there was more on-screen acknowledgement of race in the show, and more intentional naming of things. In regards to Ruby + Beth in particular, I feel like an American white woman can’t have a life-long/multi-decade friendship with a Black woman and not be intentional about acknowledging racism/the specific misogynoir that Black women face. But the show hasn’t really acknowledged this aspect of Ruby + Beth’s friendship...

*stares at the camera like I’m on The Office*

It would be such a rich opportunity to discuss the challenges of interracial friendship if done well. Also, what an opportunity to delve into what it’s like to maintain friendships across the years (um, it’s hard!!! Even with people you love so much! Tell us more about Beth & Ruby’s ups and downs!). Beth and Ruby care about each other so much. When they and Annie get friendship beats -- I cry! Just make it make more sense! If the show filled in these blanks, it would be so great. Beth is obviously awakening~ definitely so in regards to her gender and her power and it could shift her political opinions? The show definitely poked a little fun at her crime “wokeness” by having her push back on cultural appropriation with those other PTA parents. Just by the exposure of her own relationships, Beth has experience with the lack of American safety net, our terrible, impoverishing health-care system, and inaccessibility of higher education.

So, on one hand the show tries to do a thing where they equalize and don’t name race in the context of the three leads, “they’re three women”, but then they play on racial tropes with Beth and Rio’s relationship... I would like for their interracial relationship to be more overtly discussed/acknowledged outside of Rio’s somewhat performative call outs of Beth’s white lady fragility.

So anyway -- Rio’s politics. We don’t know a ton about Rio so we don’t have too much textual evidence to go off of. But, we do know that Rio picks at Beth’s facade of white women fragility all the time -- sometimes with more hostility and other times simply teasing. When I write him, I give him my own experiences of having to become well-versed discussing politicized issues by the default of growing up experiencing racism and xenophobia. Rio, like any Mexican-reading man, has probably been told to “go back to his country” throughout his life -- and I can’t imagine it not politicizing him... Though, conservative Latinx exist and constantly shock me with their assimilationist audacity. *stares at the camera like I’m on the office again* But, idk, it’s something about their characterization of him of being so worldly~~ I imagine him being informed and up-to-date on the American news. I want him throwing around his power and $$$ by donating to local, progressive candidates of color. But, this is all projection~ :-)

Ha, I feel like this was too critical of my forever otp (and on ship day to boot)!! And of Beth. The show has a habit of putting Beth through the physical and psychological wringer, and what I want instead is for our baby to be out of harm’s way, financially stable, divorced and independent, and also forced to interrogate the more harmful ways she deploys her whiteness. Lol, no one would watch my show. I know.

I love Beth & Rio. They thrill me. And like many others in the fandom, I often want to remove them from the GG canon and make them have harder/real/necessary conversations -- and generally converse about anything/everything because they barely do that on screen. I love the drama of their scenes, but my happy place is skipping a year ahead and building headcanons about what they could look like in actual relationship with each other... and one of these daydreams is Rio pushing Beth on her politics. I’m in an interracial relationship with a white woman myself -- and one of the things I love is endlessly discussing political issues and processing and growing together, and I like transplanting that to Brio in my fic perhaps too much, and it makes them OOC in my writing at times.

Okay!!! This got long again. Thanks for tangling with this if you’ve gotten this far. There were a lot of assertions up there and I’m happy to unpack something further (but, thats at your own risk y’know. Clearly I don’t know when to stop when it comes to writing these ridiculously long posts).

&&. announcing his grace, ( rohan mokhand talwar ), the ( 40 ) year old ( duke ) of ( rajasthan ). he is often confused with ( hrithik roshan ). some say that he is ( reticent & insouciant ), but he is actually ( tactical & perspicacious ).

i tried to do a full reboot, but i realised it ruins a lot of other plots and existing char development so only minor things have changed because originally he was semi-attached to a v crazy weird mutiny massacre plot. that part never happened. the rest is mostly the same, but with minor edits:

He is the Rajput cousin of the Indian royals.

Schmandsome. Very. Either doesn’t know or doesn’t care.

Military trained, has fought in Kashmir independently for Kashmiri civil rights, espionage, arms deals, covert ops blah blah blah, which undermines India’s authority in the region. (not that this is known in India they just think he was on some mission somewhere. but the more privileged royals prob have heard talk)

His military allegiance is questionable. he’s been known to pick his causes elsewhere, outside of India

So whose side is he actually on? We just don’t know

There are a lot of rumours surrounding him, of the alarming variety, such as he’s adept at toppling governments, and has a network of people in every city. Is any of this true? Your guess is as good as mine — many people have likely heard of him but not seen him; might as well be a mYTH.

He’s focused, respectful, enigmatic, debonair when you LEAST expect him to be.

He really likes toast. It’s very special. If there were an otp it would be toast. Everytime Rohan bites into toast a unicorn cries and a double rainbow is created somewhere in the world.

Do not fuck with him when he is eating his fucking toast.

Don’t.

Other than that he’s quite nice, even if he’s a bit reserved. Should you trust him? Probably not, but the same can be said for pretty much errybody here yo.

Rohan left the program. Did the long distance thing with Ebba. They spent time in Switzerland together and certain parts of India in private, because Rajasthan’s heir dating a white crown princess would not go down well in the state, which is known for its traditions and adherence to customs. At all.

He was summoned home to India, specifically Delhi, for duty reasons. To his dismay, Delhi was requesting he return to the program as a courtesy to accompany the youngest Indian royal who has just completed post-graduate studies and accommodate his foray or re-entry into international relations.

To make things worse, one of Indian nobility’s sharpest economic minds has decided to to make her entrance as well.

He doesn’t want to be back with this circus, but he is back and very unhappy about it.

At least Ebba is safely back in Switzerland 😊 doing important things 😊 could be worse 😊 right?
