#ryan sweetie that is not what you're giving
Text
The thing is, Ryan is right. There is a serious lack of media depicting straight men, being soft and vulnerable.
There is a genuine need for platonic male relationships that are emotionally available and supportive of one another.
And it should be absolutely normal for a man to reach out for help and companionship when it's needed.
Platonic relationship and non-romantic intimacy should be more common in media across all genders.
That is all true. But that is not the "truth" of whatever the hell Eddie and Buck have been doing since season 2.

Simu!Ken thought— he beaches off for you after one of the Kens or Barbies makes a mean comment about you. And ofc he wins
a/n: HAHAAAAA anon, your mind!! 😭🤌🏻 I decided to make this with both (mean) Ken and Barbie, and did my own lil 'thing' here ;))) thanks, sweetie!! (open to be read as Ryan!Ken, as usual!)
warnings: fluff! (+ teaching meanies a lesson & strong language!)
» fancy reading something new? check out my full m.list!
Tumblr media
It's one thing to genuinely get on Ken's bad side, but it's another if the rest of the Barbieland follow suit. 
Mean Barbie and Ken simultaneously arrived months after your Ken’s departure to find you, becoming the talk of the town in an instant. Though, 90% of the time, it was all for the wrong reasons. 
Mean Barbie was demeaning, having a keen interest in insulting others for their interests and even their appearances. Mean Ken was no better, laughing in the Kens' face and Alan for liking anything that was, in his words, 'too girlish'. 
Basically, they weren’t the best people to vibe with. 
While both Weird Barbie and President Barbie tried their best to be civil with the two, the former was more vocal about her distaste, always giving them the stink eye as though she knew their words only went in one ear and out the other. President Barbie was more subtle, though she made sure to drop reminders about their actions here and there.
So when the mean match overheard the cheers and excitement over the infamous Ken coming back for a visit with his sweetheart, oh, they were not having it. 
But soon, they were going to learn that their actions would, in fact, have consequences.
'Cause as the human saying goes; the more you fuck around, the more you find out.
President Barbie was there to greet you and Ken at the entrance, giving you a motherly hug before giving you a heads up and whispering in your ear about the notorious duo.
Though their behaviour wasn't nearly as bad as what you're used to in the real world, it didn't make them any less unpleasant to be around. Kudos to the Barbies and Kens (+ Midge & Allan!) for trying their best not to leave you alone with the two of them, though!
And it only took your Ken two days to do everyone a favour. 
"Hoo, boy, here we go." Mean Ken scoffed at the sight of your Ken excitedly telling you about the surfboard he oftentimes used back when his whole purpose was to be Ken, "That was the cool guy around here?" 
"Right? And I just don't see what's so special about her." His girl sneered.
"Tell me about it. Should've stayed where she came from like she was supposed to." 
The rest of the Barbies and Kens froze up. They gave Pompadour Ken a quick glance, who was now uncharacteristically quiet.
Oh no. 
Who were they to insult you for being you?  
You've also noticed the two literally talking crap about you, though you were more concerned about Ken.
"Ken," You gently stroked his face, hoping it'll ease the sudden tension in his jaw, "Hey, don't listen to them." 
"Hey, pal!" Mean Ken called out to him, "Wanna show us your lil' beach moves? Maybe tell us what's so special about your girl?" 
Ken didn't speak up. He has millions of reasons why you were extremely special to him, but he learnt from you that losing his cool would be a total win for his opposition. 
But the mean twins didn't take being ignored too kindly.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" He barked, pushing your Ken. He nearly lost his balance, almost hitting you with the surfboard he was holding. 
It wasn't long before Ken finally lost his cool, swinging the surfboard square in Mean Ken's face. He flew away at an immense height and questionable physics, falling on his back just by the sea. 
Some laughed, others cheered. By now, everyone was watching, even Mermaid Barbie and Ken showed up after hearing about a possible showdown on the Malibu Beach. They shook their heads the way disapproving parents would before waving at you, happy to see a nicer face in town.
"Oh my gosh, Ken!" Mean Barbie squawked, running to her man and shaking his unconscious body a little too aggressively, "What did you do?!" 
"I just gave him what he deserved." Your Ken shrugged, running his fingers through his hair that had messed up when he lost his cool.
"You didn't have to like, punch him!" 
"It was gonna happen eventually," Alan murmured to himself, only to earn sounds and nods of approval from the rest of the Kens and Barbies. Even if Pompadour Ken wasn't the one putting them in their place, someone would've. 
Sure, maybe a dance-off would've been sufficient.
Buuut, then again, it was probably the real-world air that he's been breathing in for so long, so it was only a matter of time before his patience snapped, and it did when they started running their mouths about you.
After all, Mean Ken preferred 'manlier' efforts.
"You're in huge trouble, weirdo!" She hissed, believing your Ken's (necessary) violence could easily banish you two from Barbieland. 
"And what're you gonna do about it?" It was your turn to challenge her, standing closer to her with your arms crossed. You weren't just going to stand there and let her spit venom at your boyfriend, much less at your new friends. 
Just a reminder that your hands were rated E for everyone.
"I'll… I'll…! I'll tell Psycho Barbie!" 
"That won't be necessary." Everyone's heads turned to the side to see Weird Barbie approaching, boots off as she walked on the sandy floor with a delighted smirk on her face, "And that's Weird Barbie to you, missy."
She turned to Pompadour Ken, patting him on the shoulder with a grin, "Good job, kid. Didn't think you had it in you but it's probably that wild human air," She then turned to you with a wink, "You got quite the keeper." 
Ken mirrored her proud smile.
"A little help, doc?" She nodded at Doctor Barbie, who immediately rushed to her side. Weird Barbie pointed behind her with her thumb, "Give that guy a quick scan before the President gets here, will ya?" 
Weird Barbie was no doubt beyond excited to report the two, and with tons of eyes as witnesses. 
"Hey," Your Ken placed his hand on the small of your back, "I'm sorry about that. You wanna head home or…?" 
Ken was less than pleased by the thought of the day being ruined but he'd understand if it had because of the mere presence of the two. Some may call him dramatic, but to you, he was just making sure of your comfort. 
"No, no," You shook your head, resting your head on his chest, "I'm okay." 
The groans and whines of Mean Ken and Barbie respectively as President Barbie berated their actions were just bonuses to the feeling of you against him. Softening him up from what had happened prior like kneading dough ever so gently.
"I recall a certain someone promising to play his guitar around a campfire for me?" You teased him, hoping to lift his spirits.
"I did, didn't I?" He hummed, grabbing his guitar bag that lay on the beach chair before wrapping his other arm around you, "C'mon, I know the perfect place."
He brought you to the spot furthest from the 'busy zone', though that didn't stop his friends from dropping stuff like a blanket, sausages and marshmallows to roast as a thank you for his service. 
All in all, the night ended on a much higher note, with your boyfriend serenading you with romantic and cheesy songs he learnt back in the real world and stuffing yourselves with some good campfire food.

Watcher has lost almost 100 thousand subscribers
Hi babygirl, thank you for your 6 new messages, I love that you think my opinion is this important, though I genuinely don't quite get it. I'm not even a Watcher fanaccount, like, I have maybe two followers who even know the channel. What beef do you have with me lmao Since you're so interested in it though, I'm going to give it to you! FOR FREE! Since that's so important to you!
Here's the tldr: You're on anon sending hate, so you already know you're in the wrong and everyone else knows it too!
Great. Now that that's covered, here we GO! My precious opinion that you value so much! For free:
I'm sorry it offends you that I have the 5,99 to pay them and am doing it, but like. Do you do this with everyone? Do you go into people's DMs (no of course not, you only hate anonymously, wonder why that is!) to yell at them about subscribing to Twitch streams? Spotify? Youtube membership? Patreons?
What about this offends you so? That a bunch of youtubers had to make a tough choice between "we have to stop creating the art we want" and "we could try and keep creating the art we want, but we'll need to get paid for it" and chose to try and get paid for it? Is the offense, to you personally, that other people will still get to enjoy the content they like, opposed to absolutely no one getting to? It certainly can't be that you, personally, can't access their content anymore, because, quite frankly, I doubt you actually like it very much.
As for your five billion questions for why this makes you racist: You singling out Steven makes you racist. They founded this company together and they doubtlessly made this decision together and the narrative that is currently spun of "Shane (the white dude) would never, his evil non-white co-workers are forcing him to!" is .... extremely parasocial, and wildly random and coming out of nowhere.
Except for all the parts it's not, because of COURSE. Of course the evil guy and the guy who creates content "no one wants to fund" and who now everyone calls "boring" and who now has viral hate tweets saying he's "dragged Ryan and Shane down", is the asian guy who's pushed for diversity on the channel from the very start.
Like, he's well aware that his shows are the least popular. There's a reason for that, sweetie, and I promise you, it has to do with the fact that they've focused on diversity and quality rather than shittalking in front of a camera. And I'm not even a Steven girlie, I'm a Ghost Files ride or die, baby!
But this narrative that he's "homophobic and racist" because he said in a podcast once that he chooses to stay friends with people who sometimes sprout ignorant views, that's like- Get a fucking grip. I know y'all haven't reached adult life yet, it is painfully apparent, but there comes a time in life where you'll have to realize that sometimes the people around you aren't as socially aware or educated as you, but in their nature good eggs, and you can, of course, choose to drop their asses, if you don't happen to be otherwise connected to them in an adult environment, where jobs and friend groups often overlap or they're part of your family or family's circle, but the far, far better choice is to be their friend and educate them. Because that's the best way the ignorant views become less ignorant. That's literally what he's been saying in that podcast ep, by the way. I don't need to "google" that and I don't need your twitter links, I was there when that episode dropped. I listened to it as I did the dishes. I was applauding Steven for putting in the time and effort and energy to DO that with people, because I oftentimes find myself too scared to have the conversations he is having.
Watcher has donated to queer charities. They sell queer merch. They have queer employees. Their fanbase is mainly queer. He's not homophobic, y'all are insane. If any of that would go against his values, he'd a) not be in a company with Ryan and Shane, because they wouldn't be having it and b) wouldn't stand up for, employ and cater to queer people. He'd be out with the homophobes, telling us how Jesus died for our sins or whatever.
He's also not racist which- duh. Before I even knew Steven Lim, I already knew this is something he is incredibly(!) sensitive about, he literally hates racism (And I don't know if you noticed. But he's very often the target of it, you absolute bufoon) and specifically went into Watcher to be able to help marginalized voices have a platform. That was his goal for Watcher that he couldn't properly fulfil in Buzzfeed. I know that. Because I was there from the start and actually listened to them talk. And it was stated and proven many, many times.
Y'all so eager to jump on a hate train and take shit out of context, it's pathetic. And "homophobic" good God, he had a book on his bookshelf. Wow. I have Harry Potter in three different editions on my bookshelf, I've learned reading with them. They have tear stains on the pages where Dumbledore died. You're gonna say I'm a transphobe if you see them in a photo? Gonna go ahead and call me, a trans guy, a transphobe now? Knock yourself out. Because I'll care about that about as much as I care about how many angry little kids are unsubscribing from Watcher rn: Not even a little bit.
You're whining like little bitches in random fan's inboxes, are throwing insults, false accusations and racism around to stirr the pot, you're coming for Steven as if Ryan and Shane aren't literally HORRIFIED by y'all doing this in their name to someone who's their close friend. As if Watcher would even exist without him, when he saved it from going bankrupt in their first year, when Ryan and Shane couldn't be arsed to step up and figure out how to run a company.
You weren't paying them anyway. I'm subscribed to their Patreon at the highest tier, because I know good art doesn't come free and I knew they were gonna struggle on Youtube views alone and I enjoy their content and want to help them keep making it. I don't expect anyone to be able to do that - And they don't either. They also don't expect everyone to pay or be able to pay for their streaming services. They're currently working on responding to the feedback and make things more accessible. They certainly didn't handle this perfectly and they certainly didn't want to make this choice if they had another one. Neither of the three.
You won't pay for it. That's fine. That's literally all there is to it. There's no need to sling this shit around, but you're doing it anyway. Not because you care, but because you're having fun with it. Well, go ahead. The more hate you send, the more I know I'm standing up for the right people.

☆ how the boxers react to being flirted with ☆
Sorry for dissapearing (again), i was busy damaging my hearing, enjoy my woobification teehee
Glass Joe
- Really depends on how you flirt with him, if its poetic or really straightforward hes gonna turn into a tomato
- hes not giggling, its just your imagination nuh uh
- he def rolls in bed like a rotisserie chicken while thinking about ur pick up line
- hes gonna try to flirt back until its just a competition of who blushes the hardest
Von Kaiser
- actual jaw drop from him, the more poetic the better
- in shock, his brain literally turns off
- has to check his pulse because GODDAMN his heart is beating harder than usual (You may have a heart palpitation, kaiser)
- you live rent free in his head now congratulations
Disco Kid
- right back at you, if youre a bit too straightforward he may need to tell you to slow down
- youre getting a response IMMEDIATLY. And i mean it, fresh out of the oven, thrown at you with some sprinkles on top
- giggling while he calls you cute names like sweetie, honey, baby etc etc
King Hippo
- nice try, HES AROACE!! (GET HEADCANONED IDIOT!!)
- he laughs it off while making it clear hes not into you or anyone
- flattered though, appreciates the fact that you were willing to go out of your way to approach him
- if he was not aroace or only ace, he'd just smile, the more poetic you go with him the better you have chance of making him go red
Piston Hondo
- hes suddenly cosplaying a cherry
- loves poetic rizz, will definitely go back at you until both of your flirting attempts sound like two lovers mailing each other in opposite sides of the world while one is at war
- if youre straightforward he just gets flabbergasted, like what do you mean there isnt a build up for it with 20 poems inbetween??
- cant focus rest of the day, hes internally screaming off a mountain
- the sight of you just makes his ability to focus evaporate
- draws and/or writes about you rest of the day
Great Tiger
- if you use something clever you can get a small blush out of him
- if you're the type to go for poetic lines youre gonna need to call 911 because his soul literally vanishes from existence, tiger dont go into the light stay with us PLEASE
- has to have his clones give him flirting advice because his flirting skills are not there (like 80% of my hearing)
- his flirting attempts are just "damn, are you a construction worker?, because you are a building." no matter how much he tries
Bear Hugger
- he makes his reactions clear, literally emotes while you flirt with him
- if youre poetic or straightforward he literally just says "woah"
- he just turns into that one cartoon wolf im not kidding, literal "ohh mama hubba hubba" from this man
- his flirting style is very straightforward, not "hey babygirl" type but "youre so pretty i would leave all my belongings and change my identity if it ment i could hold your hand" type, do you understand??
Don Flamenco
- replies 1.2 seconds after you, he needs to have the last word here (or last rizz in this case)
- literal mirror, the more more straightforward & atrocious your lines are the more straightforward his are going to be until it devolves into both of you sounding down bad, when they go low, he goes lowER
- poetic lines makes him have a heart attack
- its actually possible to fluster him
- unironically says babygirl to anyone hes flirting with when approaching, it doesnt matter how tall, strong or flirty you are, your gender doesnt matter, he can and will call you babygirl, its a gender neutral term for him, corners you while doing it
Aran Ryan
- evil cackling, if you put a organ over his laugh you suddenly get a scooby doo villain, he sounds less like hes flustered and more like hes about to detonate a nuclear bomb
- unhinged lines, ends up getting restraining orders thrown at him
- brings things he finds cool to flirt, ranging from flowers to rocks (he was a evil crow in a past life trust me his left eyebrow told me)
- cartwheels away
Soda Popinski
- maniacal giggling, even if its not THAT good & ridiculously straightforward
- his pick up lines unintentionally sound like god tier shitposts & end up working somehow
- corners you (in the romantic way) if you're really direct
- has the silliest giggle when flustered, literal "hehe" coming from this man that could snap you in half if he wanted to
Bald Bull
- you think the others are bad at handling flirting?? Then you havent seen bald bull because OH MY GOD HES ABOUT TO LITERALLY FLY OFF THE EARTH
- hes actually fairly difficult to fluster but once you find his weak spot hes gone from there
- cannot flirt back, blurts something dumb out like "sorry im all red pretty people make me nauseous"
- he literally goes (> - <) when blushing & covers his face with his hands
- the more direct you are the closer he gets to passing out
- stutters a lot (omg y/n is that you)
- Bull, this is bottom behavior
- people use the most unhinged pick up lines on him, someone once told him "let me milk you."
- his hands automatically go 👉👈 if hes too flustered
Super Macho Man
- Stop boosting his ego please, he may be flustered but youre kinda enabling him
- dumbest pick up lines
- also another unironic "hey babygirl" user
- if he doesnt know what to do he just throws money & valuables, 5000 dollars be upon ye
Mr Sandman
- oh my god he has the sweetest smile ever (if you dont go too straightforward), he doesnt blush a whole lot but he just chuckles a bit
- if youre direct, his jaw also drops like huh??
- his weak spots are poems & small gifts
- a little bit dense but once he gets it he smiles like crazy
- giggling kicking his feet whenever he remembers that

To that one anon , I love you to (platonically) 😘 sending love your way , as for you Dolly sweetie ,How do you think demon slayer cast react and handle the reader with Shane Madej personality, Who shows no fear what’s so ever , who will dance on Muzan Bridge much to demon horror who would marry one of their best friend while the pair being drunk who happily watch Inosuke try and kill Zenitsu cause let’s be honest friends try and kill each other all the time who would try and connect the dote
Y E S THANK YOU FOR THIS REQUEST, IT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. Reader is also gonna be a Hashira too ngl. But I also LOVE THE QUOTES AT THE END OF THIS TOO.
Tumblr media
- You're not really scared of demons, you're just..tired at this point. You have zero fear of them too and stuff because, hey, everyone dies. Sometimes death is a bit painful than most. Do you want to die via demon attack? No. Can you really control it? Also no.
- So you become a Hashira, a bit weird but with your mindset you're really good at your job. Maybe you do want to save people or maybe you're annoyed that you and your homie can't go into the woods to investigate creepy "ghost" filled forests and make fun of them for believing in ghosts.
- OKAY BUT LITERALLY, WHAT IF YOU TRAIN ZENITSU AFTER HE DECIDES HE WANTS TO BECOME STRONG LIKE TANJIRO AND HE BECOMES YOUR RYAN BERGARA.
- Like your mentor and protégé relationship is just you being oddly calm and content and Zenitsu is just scared 24/7 and you kinda just scare him sometimes.
- You: "His mind is his greatest enemy...and it is my greatest ally."
- Giyuu: *staring at you in silent judgement*
- You and Shinobu get along really well, honestly. She likes your scientific mind and she enjoys your dry and sarcastic comments. You also like being around her because she's like pretty sensible and chill compared to the other Hashira honestly.
- NO BUT TANJIRO LIKES THAT YOU ACTUALLY STOOD UP FOR NEZUKO AND HIM WHEN THE OTHER HASHIRA ROCKED HIS SHIT TOO NOT GONNA LIE. Like you were all: "You guys...you can't be doing that. You can't be hitting children."
- "(Y/n), it's a demon!"
- "THEY'RE CHILDREN!"
- You don't get along with Tengen, Sanemi, and Obanai. You're at least more polite to Tengen but if Sanemi and Obanai wants to talk shit, well, you can talk back. Like, someone asks what its like working with them and you're all: "Well, let's put it this way...I've met a lot of insufferable people in my life, but they've also met me."
- You're just so unfazed by things that it worries demons, even Muzan himself is unnerved because he can't tell if you're really brave or you're really stupid when really, what he should be wondering is: "Do you even care?" and the answer is no. No you don't.
- NO BUT EVERYONE JUST STARING AT YOU WHEN YOU'RE FACING A DEMON AND YOU'RE ALL: "Rip my heart out. Tear my head off...give me a wedgie. Hell, give both me and Zenitsu a wedgie!"/ "DON'T LOOP ME INTO THIS!"
- You also don't even really have to slay demons, you just literally destroy them by talking. Like, you can TRICK them into saying Muzan's name because you annoy them THAT much. Like you're all: "I'm dancing on your bridge, Muzan, look at how I disrespect your bridge. Its my bridge now."/ "HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT LORD KIBUTSUJI!?"/ "You just said his name."/ "Oh...Oh, I see what you've done."
- Okay but you know how people theory Shane is a demon or that he scares off demons? Literally you. Like Muzan is either very scared of you or wants you to become an Uppermoon or maybe it's both. Like, you terrify him but he finds you interesting.
- You and Muichiro absolutely roasting the shit out of demons too honestly. Like, damn, not only are they dying but they're gonna die feeling like they're not shit, my dude.
- Also, yes, much like the ask says, you're not even phased when Inosuke is beating up Zenitsu or chasing him around. Like, you just shrug it off and are all: "C'mon, friends kill each other all the time!"/ Shinobu: "Haha, I can think of a few of your friends who'd like to kill you!"
- Rengoku thinks that you're an absolute riot and you also feel the same way honestly. He does want you to dial it back when you're daring the demons to kill you because he gets worried one of them will get you. But yes, he's all: "YOUR BEHAVIOR AND PERSONALITY ARE TRULY A SHINING EXAMPLE OF A FEARLESS HASHIRA."/ Obanai: "I don't think they're fearless, I think they're just stupid."
- Inosuke tries to piss you off but you're really good at redirecting his attention somewhere else. Then Tanjiro is absolutely impressed with you and considers you one of his heroes and you're just there like: "Why?" but maybe you can be a better role model around him too.
- You also are writing your own story called the "Hot Daga" which started out as you kinda telling random stories to Nezuko because she was bored but she ends up loving them a lot and now it's a series that you may publish into a story later.
- HE MIGHT NOT BE ANIMATED YET BUT IMAGINE YOU'RE TRYING TO INFILTRAITE DOUMA'S CULT AND YOU'RE JUST THERE LIKE: "um, I'm here for the cult stuff? I saw the ad."

hey so I’ve procrastinated manifesting my sp to text me- that he likes me for two years now 😭 so basically we’ve known each other from the last year of middle school and now it’s the second year of high school- and idk how to manifest him- like- should I just affirm? or what? Cuz honestly when I try to affirm- it feels like I’m forcing myself to repeat everything and when I stop affirming for a couple of minutes I get this bad feeling like my manifestation won’t come if I don’t affirm so idk what to do. how do I get a text from him ( A DM FROM HIM CUZ I DONT HAVE HIS NUMBER ) and how do I get it quickly- like five minutes? cuz y’all say manifestation is instant. Also should I affirm ( or whatever method or technique ) that he’ll just text me that he likes me or what? cuz I don’t have his number and yeah- but there’s no logic in manifesting right? I rlly don’t know. Ryan
Hii sweetie!!
All you have to do is just assume that he likes you and that's it. That's all it takes, LITERALYYY! Don't panic, don't get anxious and do not worry about affirming because AFFIRMING ALL DAY WILL GET YOU NOWHERE IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE RIGHT MINDSET. Being in the right mindset is THE BIGGEST TIP I can ever give to someone, honestly. Start being positive and start knowing your power. Baby, you're the god. You have the power to achieve anything you want, easily, instantly and effortlessly. WHATEVER YOU SAY GOES, BECAUSE WHO'S REALITY IS THIS? Y O U R S *MIC DROP*
Now, I want you to start a mental diet. All you have to do is stay conscious to whatever you're thinking and correct it while at it. Whenever a negative thought pops up (about anything you're manifesting), flip that bitch out and be like "no, my sp likes me so much"
It's just LOA 101. Whatever you assume, will manifest.
Also, you don't really have to do any techniques. But you can try SATS, affirming, Scripting or visualising but do not get too consumed by it that you start forgetting your own power!! BECAUSE BABY TECHNIQUES DON'T MANIFEST, YOU DO! (Y'all I'm kind of getting tired of saying this by now) You can manifest your sp just by changing your thoughts.
I hope it helps!! But if you still have any problems, my dms are always open! Good luck <3

The time has come!!!! To watch the final four episodes of the Flash. Starting here with episode 10. I've currently got some tasty pizza but I may make some popcorn later. Will definitely have to resist the urge to throw the popcorn at the screen because my house is soooo dusty right now. (mid home-reno, at the point where all the big stuff is done and everything is now covered in a thick layer of drywall dust and i will literally be dusting the house over this for weeks to come)
The opening with Eddie is cute. Looks like 'Malcolm' is a research scientist? Since, from what spoilers I've seen, the N!SF is what resurrected Eddie, I have to wonder if the Malcolm persona was crafted to fit what Eobard wished Eddie was like. The N!SF has been retconned so much since it was first mentioned, but it started as an artificial speed force the Eobard created and it took Eobard as its first avatar. So it'd make sense if it was trying to remake Eddie in an image more pleasing to Eobard...
Still, it's too bad Malcolm isn't a separate character from Eddie.
Lol, Allegra as Rainbow Brite. I do find that hilarious. And the suit is awful.
Chester is no Cisco when it comes to super suits, that's for sure. How about calling up Ryan. He's not as good at is as Cisco, but he's not rainbow bathrobe bad at it.
I still think Cecile should have moved with Joe and Jenna. She's a great lawyer when the show remembers that she's a lawyer, but there's a lot of tell-not-show going on with her being a super hero and she seems happiest when she's with Joe and Jenna. This season's biggest problem, I think, is that it hasn't handled juggling the main cast well and, much as I like Cecile... I think that having her go into semi-retirement with Joe would have been a good choice. She still could have been commuting for her defense lawyer practice, giving us that one episode with Becky, but otherwise it would have been one less character to juggle and opened up the opportunity for Barry and Iris to raise Nora in the same house they were raised in.
Khione's place is very plant-filled. And I love that she's named them all. She's definitely leveled up on her powers since last we saw her and I like that she writes her diary entries as letters to her sisters, Caitlin and Frost. I still don't know what her purpose is because she hasn't done anything that couldn't have been easily handed off to someone else, so... *shrug* I've given up on the idea that she has an actual purpose that only she can do - you know, right hero at the right time - at this point. Still, very sweet.
Also did she have to look at the camera directly while talking about Blaine?
Iris - Since when do you do things last minute. Me - Where have you been? This man is your husband, sweetie. If he isn't doing something last minute, then he's doing it five minutes late.
Pulitzer nomination!!!! YAY!!! Go Iris!!!!
It's 'cobalt' blue energy that takes Barry to the past. I like the person who walks by cupping a cd player in their hands. That's so funny, but very 2000.
Oh!!! the laundry van!!! reference to the pilot episode!!! love it :D
Barry being an awkward duck with not-yet-Captain Singh. David is going to remember this one day and wonder. Anywho, love that Barry's first instinct is to go to Joe for help when he can't get back home. Not surprising it doesn't work out - you're a stranger to him now, Barry - but still.
Next try, Professor Stein. Who, given the time travel shenanigans he's already played with his own timeline at this point, would probably believe Barry a little more easily. But still not surprising he didn't believe him over the phone. Bet if Barry had shown up in person and started talking about the Legends, that would have gone better.
Of course, Barry then sees his parents. And just. Gets so focused that the Reverse Flash blindsides him. Love that Henry saves Barry from being killed. Nora's first thought at seeing Barry is 'he looks just like my father'. Their shared concern about Barry even though he's just some stranger... it's good to finally see the people who raised Barry before Joe. And that Barry's kindness towards strangers and sense of duty to help is something that is as much from them as from Joe.
Henry - I'm Dr. Allen and this is my wife Nora and we were first on the scene after your accident. Barry - *internally freaking out because he loves his parents but he knows his mom is gonna die soon and his dad will go to prison and he wants to save them, knows he can't, and doesn't want to fuck up the timeline again because he actually didn't intentionally time travel for a change* O_O Umm.... hi... I'm... Bart.
Barry calling himself Bart will never not be funny to me.
Nora - Can we call family or friends for you? Barry - *No mom, you can't call yourself, sorry* Nope.
Gosh, I do love Henry and Nora so much. They save this guy on the street, take him to the hospital, and insist on taking him out for pizza. Knowing they're such kind and helpful people really highlights what a tragedy what happens to them are because... how many people would they have tried to help if Nora had lived and Henry hadn't spent fifteen years in jail? Not with super powers but with just kindness and an insistence on helping the people around them.
Joe and David wanting to help Barry now too. :D Mysterious voice growls Joe's name and there's a blue crystal that... possess Joe? Well. Would you call that shade of blue... cobalt? *snicker*
Nora - Well, what about your family? Where are they? Barry - *AWKWARD* They died.
Again. Nora and Henry being so very, very kind to Barry. Giving him something he's missed for so long. And he can't accept their offer to stay with them, much as he wants to.
Matt!Eobard shows up, with the ominous helicoptor noises! Of course Barry assumes this whole setup is his fault. But it isn't.
Barry could be having a nice evening with his parents, instead he's at a bar with the guy who is an evening away from causing Barry's childhood PTSD. And Eobard laying out the situation is interesting because there are more options than Eobard mentions and he genuinely doesn't realize that. It's just... kind of fascinating for Barry to see what's happening from the point of view of knowing how this will turn out in the end.
For Barry to have the life that Eobard is threatening to take away... he does kind of have to let Eobard win. Just not in the way that Eobard intends to at that moment.
Barry going back to Henry's office right as Henry and Nora at talking about how they wish they could have helped him... do love that timing. :D
Barry getting to tell his parents that their love made him who he is even now, so many years after their deaths... even if they don't realize his words really are for them. Very sweet.
Uh-oh, growling voice is back. I suspect it's trying to stop Barry from getting to Eobard in time to save mini-Barry from Eobard's evil plans. Though that begs the question of why it brought Barry back in time in the first place.
Joe - Hey, so I know everything. Barry - Oh? Not even gonna question this. Help me Joe.
Waiting since the dawn of time, huh? So if the N!SF's main color is red, then why is it using blue now instead?
I like the doctor who takes charge when the hospital is damaged - she's my hero now. Oh gosh, she's Ramsey Rosso's mother. Now his disdain towards his mother for dying of HLH pisses me off even more. Dr. Rachel Rosso was an amazing woman.
Seriously, why is the N!SF's main color suddenly blue????
Barry - I'm not here to save myself. I'm here to save you. Eobard - Bullshit. *it's in his eyes, okay???*
Oh yeah, he's not here to save himself. He just... carries himself... out... of the building.
Though I do appreciate Barry risks his own timeline to offer Eobard the chance to do the right thing. But Eobard can't see beyond his own ego to realize that Barry already knows what will happen if Eobard goes through with his plan.
And I do love that we finally get to have Eobard call himself the hero and Barry the villain. Eobard cannot see beyond his own selfishness to realize that not only is he the bad guy, but that he's the bad guy because of his own actions. Even in his personal future when he 'embraces' being the bad guy, Eobard still thinks that it's all Barry's fault and the real villain is Barry even if no one sees it.
And there's the big fight. S1 Barry!!!! aww, back when his suit looked like actual protective gear and not a Halloween costume made of moisture wicking fabric.
Eobard - OH NO NOT THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS CATCHING UP TO ME!!!! Barry - Told you so. Also thanks for the catharsis, asshole.
lol
Back to Malcolm!Eddie. Who gets the classic struck by lighting of destiny, but it's red. Like the N!SF usually is but hasn't been all episode - see this is why changing the color coding for the N!SF to blue suddenly was bad. Consistency is important!!
And apparently the N!SF can transport objects because it also brought Malcolm!Eddie a police dossier. On Eddie Thawne.
That was actually a really strong opening episode for the finale. I am glad that they're closing the loop before the end of the show. That said, I'm not sure how I feel about it being one of the focuses of the series finale. It's appropriate to revisit what started it all at the end of the show, but at the same time there's been an obsession with Nora's death throughout the whole show that, at this point, it does also feel like they're beating a dead horse. But I'm not sure when else in the show it might have gone... unless they'd done Savitar as the Flash from the timeline Eobard came from where Nora didn't die with Savitar causing Flashpoint towards the end of S3 instead of Barry causing it at the end of S2, but I've got a post about that fanfic idea somewhere. (I actually really want to write that at some point.)
The fact that this was such a well written and paced episode makes me worried the rest of the episodes aren't going to live up to it. Because I've been watching this whole season and, uh, this quality of episode really isn't what the season's average has looked like.
Getting a glimpse of the N!SF's personality here does make me wonder just how much it may have warped Eobard's mind already by the time Barry first met him. Or if its personality was modeled off it's creator and it merely encouraged Eobard's worst traits. This Barry knows Eobard is capable of choosing to be a good person and caring about other people beyond his own selfishness, which is why I think Barry gave him the warning even knowing Eobard wouldn't take it. He still wanted to give that part of Eobard that genuinely wants to be a hero a chance to be one. Given what spoilers tell me the N!SF is gonna do to Eddie, I can't discount the idea that Eobard might have turned out very different as a speedster without the N!SF's corruption - and I think maybe Barry wonders that now too, having spoken to the N!SF directly through its possession of Joe.
That said, I do enjoy Eobard being an entitled asshole who cannot see beyond his own ego and cannot conceive of being wrong. We got a glimpse here of Eobard back when the character was still well written and fascinating to watch because he is a genius but his blind spots are so obvious to everyone but him. So when his well thought out plan falls apart, he doesn't see why until it smacks him in the face.
Anyway, one episode down and three to go.

All my live Season 3 Episode 1 reactions
Starting with a Katara-style narration flashback, okay.
She grew up in an old farm? Sheesh.
Oh god he doesn't even have his mask on. Oh, Leo...
RAPHAEL KEEPS A CONSTANT VIGIL OHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM BROKENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
MIKEY YES EMBRACE FARM AND DON'T LET THE DARKNESS CONSUME YOU MY LITTLE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
OH DONNIE YET AGAIN THE WEIGHT OF THE FUCKING WORLD IS ON YOUR SHOULDERS TO CREATE YET ANOTHER IMPOSSIBLE CHEMICAL MIRACLE TO TRY AND SAVE SOMEONE IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE AND LOVED ONES LIVES MY BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
APRIL where you been hiding those drawing skills girl?
Feels like a fucking lie to have the normal theme playing right now when EVERYTHING IS BROKEN AND NOT AS THE SONG SHOWS
Mikey what the FUCK was that sound you made
Ahhhhhh okay now I see where the Casey x Donnie comes from. The cassic "smirk and surprise attack and then fighting while one smirks and the other snarls" scenario. Still don't know if I ship it or not but at least now I understand the origins.
OH SHIT SHE FUCKED RAPH UP
Okay no yeah, Casey is flirting and Donnie doesn't understand it- oh no they might both be flirting
PFFFFFF RAPH YOU DON'T BELONG IN THE SEWERS EITHER
Casey did you actually say "Whoa that's deep yo" unirinically?
OH RAPH SITTING BY THE TUB OHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY HEART
Oh shit He-Man parody
WHY'D HE ATTACK THE SLUG PEOPLE OH GOD CROGNAR IS WORSE THAN CAPTAIN RYAN
Oh god Maskless Leo + Seth Green voice is a disturbing combo- 3 MONTHS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Was nothi- RAPH DON'T DOWNPLAY YOUR WORRY EMBRACE THE SOFTNESS OF YOUR HEART
Oh Donnie you sweet boy, I don't think it'll be a "no-time" situation, no matter how hard you work on that medicine...
RAPH NO DO NOT MAKE HIM FUCKING FIGHT OR ANY SHIT HE JUST WOKE UP AFTER A 3 MONTH COMA DONNIE MIKEY APRIL CASEY WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP THIS
NOOOOOOOOOOO HE'S GONNA PASS OUT OH NO THE MEDICINE DONNIE MADE WAS A BAD OH HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP

Oh Leo no, no sweetie no more splitting up, why do you always say to split up, every single time? At least his leadership skills weren't made worse by the coma... but they certainly didn't improve, either.
EXACTLY RIGHT MIKEY, HE IS FUCKING LOCO
Donnie. Donnie, baby, I love you tot he high heavens. I'm your biggest supporter. Your #1 cheerleader.

Yeah, Leo, exactly stay at the farmhouse BECAUSE YOU JUST WOKE UP FROM A FUCKING COMA
Casey now's not the time I think, actually- oh shit, April's been giving him the cold shoulder? Ah, but she makes a good point about the whole. Dealing with trauma puts the fun teenage semi-dating on hold.

I match you with, Ryan!! he likes how outgoing you can be and how you don't let anyone walk over you. he thinks you're very funny and loves how sassy you can be. when he starts to talk to you he gets very nervous but you guys click well because you both are very good at listening to each other. you guys will listen to music all the time with each other and rant about calls interests, he likes to talk to you about his podcasts that he listens too. he loves how passionate you are and makes you talk to him about all of your interests and the stuff you like. you both introduce each other into new music and just love to hang out with each other. eventually you guys will start to date and it would just be like the same as when you guys were best friend just.. a lot more touchy touchy. he loves to cuddle you and hold you. basically wherever you guys are he's always touching you. wether its holding hands, his hands on your waist, him playing with your hair, whatever. it does take him a little bit for him to get used too PDA but he ends up really liking showing you off. he definitely will give you all of his oversized stuff because he likes knowing you are willing to wear it. he also thinks his stuff look really really cute on you. he will definitely be willing to try and learn chess with you and tries to pretend he knows what he's doing but is not very good at all. but he likes trying because at least he's hanging out with you ;) he loves to watch you paint and draw and will play you music while you're doing it. he definitely also loves quality time
anyways I thought this was a perf matchup, I hope you like this!! have a great day sweetie.<3

Hii darling ✨
I hope you're doing well🌹
May I ask your opinion and insight please? How can I differentiate between a Scorpio rising and Sagittarius rising with Pluto in 1st? I don't know my birth time just an approximate time, and it happens to be between this two risings. I have a hard time guessing it. Also do you have any advices for Sagittarius babes? As one, I always strive to better myself but also enjoy myself (even though it's hard in this period + I'm surrounded with negative people which affects me deeply).
Thank you in advance Sweetie and have a wonderful day/night 💗
hi love! Do you have access to your birth certificate? That’s a sure way to get your birth time. If not: Scorpios and sag’s have very different energies and are known to have different physical characteristics so I can tell you what I know but maybe ask some friends what they thought of you first impression wise because our ascendant is most seen by those we meet. It’s our automatic response to our environment. Our mask. So we aren’t always conscious we’re behaving a certain way upon meeting people because we just act like our true selves once we get to know them. Now for a Scorpio rising, the most notable physical feature is the intense gaze. Do people ever tell you it looks like you’re staring directly in their soul? My niece is only 1 years old but she’s a Scorpio rising and the number one thing people comment on about her is her eyes. She has an intense gaze and it’s very intimidating even though she’s an adorable baby lol. So that’s the best way to tell a scorpio rising. They also are known for their thick hair and athletic build. There’s a certain power they carry. They demand respect and it shows in how they carry themselves. And they also are deep individuals so they can tell when someone’s bs’ing them or when they’re in a fake environment with a lot of fluff. They are often quiet and off putting upon first meeting because they’re trying to figure out their environment. So it can be very intimidating when you don’t know them. Do you give people that vibe? Some Celeb examples are: Kendall Jenner, Ryan gosling, Gabrielle Union, Lisa Bonet, Shailene Woodley, Adam Driver, Prince, Lana Del Ray, Frank Ocean, and lady Gaga. All of these people have that mysterious energy in common for sure. Sagittarius ascendant is vastly different. Upon meeting a Sagittarius ascendant you’d immediately notice they are perhaps more talkative and opinionated. Even if they’re quiet there’s a level of joy that would exude from their energy. An approachability. They’re also very funny and will want you to laugh around them. Physically the eyes tend to be bright and sparkly due to the optimism, and body is going to be strong and athletic and can gain weight easily due to overindulgence so natives tend to emphasize exercise so they have athletic builds usually. Slender arms and legs and more gaunt face. Like a horse though some can have round faces due to such a well rounded personality and cheerful disposition. Celeb examples are: tyra banks, Goldie Hawn, Anne Hathaway, Ellen Degenerous, Brigitte Bardot, Mila Kunis, Oprah Winfrey, Paris Hilton, Shirley Temple, Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, Alicia Keys, Jamie Lee Curtis, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Princess Diana and Kim K. So as you can see most of them have rounded faces but slim figures and you can tell they work out, or they have the quintessential horse appearance with longer faces and fit legs. Those people probably have more Sagittarius and Capricorn energy in other places in the chart.
In regard to your second question about bettering yourself as a Sagittarius Native. Sagittarius’s are naturally upbeat people. It is our true nature. We tend to always see the glass half full even in negative circumstances. So much so that being surrounded by negativity can be draining after awhile because so much energy goes into staying positive. I’ve been there. In my experience negativity tends to affect a Sagittarius more because we fight so hard to stay strong despite, and it can feel draining when other people aren’t being optimistic so we have to overcompensate to keep our energies up. If you can’t help where you’re at, for instance if you’re living at home and your family isn’t super positive in energy and that’s why you feel that way, I’ve been there. My positivity had to be internal. You can’t change people. So the work I did like journaling and meditating, to keep my spirits high and keep myself in a positive bubble of light and love, that was all very personal. It couldn’t involve anyone because they wouldn’t get it. Sagittarius’s are usually very spiritual and can see the bigger picture of anything they’re going through so other people won’t get it. Your joy has to be personal. Go be alone and meditate and think positive and read and write and listen to music and rejoice in your positivity. Because it is your nature. Let others be who they are. And when you get a chance definitely leave any negative environment. It doesn’t match your energy and over time it can affect you if you stay too long. But while you’re there, Never let anything penetrate the love bubble that is the Sagittarius spirit. Hopefully this was helpful.

I had a pretty bad dream. This blog is meant to be private but it is possible for anyone to find it so huge trigger warning here.
*********TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCE AND RAPE*********
My dream started with my partner and I going to a call in the city of Auburn. It was a difficulty breathing call of a man in his 30s. And he had 2 friends there with him. It was convincing enough for my partner to start a breathing treatment on the couch and I went out to get the stretcher ready. When I came back in my partner was on the floor and the patient was holding the tank and I realized he had whacked Ryan in the head with it and knocked him out cold. I instantly hit my 50 button and all three guys came over and grabbed me and my radio on open mic got the whole struggle. They ripped off my job shirt,uniform shirt, and Tshirt and then I got punched really hard and was kind of dazed and my hands got tied together behind my back with a zip tie. They dragged me out to the stretcher and I started to struggle again and the guy dragging me from behind lifted me up with him behind me and his arms around his chest and slammed me down on the stretcher. It knocked the wind out of me and I blacked out for about 20 seconds and when I was coming back they were loading the stretcher with me on it into the ambulance. Then one guy got up front and started driving and the other 2 ripped off the rest of my clothes and used bandages to tie my thighs to the railings of the stretcher. They had like their own line and the one guy by the back of the ambulance starts like fingering me and the front guy like grabs my jaw and kisses me and bit his bottom lip talk hard and drew blood. He punched me then pulled a knife and threatened me with it if I but his duck then facefucked me and was talking to the guy in front who was just driving. Basically I'm raped and the guy at the face kind of loses interest and I start like cooperating and saying like yeah what other option is there right now. I'm still tied up but I just try to distract myself. I tell the guy that I'm surprised he didn't go for the drugs and he asks about them and I tell them where they are. He breaks into them and asks me about them and I tell him the truth. He starts drawing up the morphine and asks if I want anything. I shake my head but he draws up and gives me a whole vial of ketamine and says like this will probably improve your experience. Then I start being sleepy and hallucinating. I'm vaguely vaguely aware of the ambulance stopping and the other guy coming back. They sit me up so he can rape me from the back and I'm just kind of limp and keep hallucinating my partner and crying. The whole time I just keep thinking that as long as I stay in the ambulance I'll be found because it has tracking but the longer I'm there I lose more hope. So much time had passed that they are done and bored with me. They have a discussion about whether or not to kill me and I begged for my life telling them I'm way too high to remember their faces and I'll probably block out the white memory from PTSD anyway. They say like nice try sweetie and stab me 3 times in my left side. I hardly feel it and just play dead and they leave.
Once they're gone I move my hands tied together under my but and then under my legs. I use the point end of the so you're that like popular through and sticks out to pierce the gauze and then rip it then get the shears from the cabinet and cut the tie then I baggage up the stand they're all only about 3 inches deep and around my left lower quadrant. Not too dangerous. I tie a sheet around my waist tight to hold pressure then from the stretcher set myself up an albuterol breathing treatment in a mask neb. Then I set out everything id need to be treated with, prepping an iv lockset and spiking a bag then decide to wait for someone to track the location on the ambulance. I fall asleep and wake up when the main 02 runs out and starts making sounds. I realize no one is coming for me and I set up a nonrebreather mask and a portable tank. Tie 2 blankets around me and get out. I realize I'm in the middle of a corn field and there's a path of flattened çorn from the ambulance driving in. It's also dark as fuck so i grab a flare and light it and hold it far from the o2 and start walking ion the flattened corn. My sounds start bleeding and strong down my leg as it works through the sheet and I'm getting woozy. As i walk the flare drops hot embers in the corn and it starts slowly burning without me noticing. I get to the road and it's one of those tiny middle of nowhere roads and start walking along it until I collapse and am unconscious.
Then it cuts to Ryan who signed out ama from the ER and is calling a million people trying to find me and the ambulance. They find out the gps has been broken in that rug for a while and no one cared to fix it so he's listening to the radio and driving around just looking for the ambulance. The cornfield gets set fully ablaze and the ambulance eventually explodes causing a big response from the county. Ryan recognizes that an explosion could be the ambulance and goes to the scene in his car. Fire and the cops find me and I'm in some other companies ambulance just starting to get checked out when Ryan bursts in and takes over from them. I'm of course completely unresponsive hypotensive and hypoxic. He starts treating the wounds gives oxygen and is transporting when i arrest in vfib. He shocks once and I'm back and he intubates and she's an io and a whole work up and we get to the hospital. I vaguely remember sitting up in the hospital in recovery and being pissed about the company nearly getting me killed by not having the rigs tracking operational. I'm talking to a lawyer and hearing all the recorded evidence from my 50 and the drive can going off from that guy driving but have no memory of anything at all outside of my nightmares. And just having Ryan with me while I recover and process what I can even process. And that's where it ends.

I FELL FOR YOU AT, MY NAME IS!
PART SIX
Sat at her desk in the 12th, Kate was in a daydream. She couldn't get the feeling of his lips on hers, out of her head. She wished it had lasted longer and she was kicking herself for not making it so. She was still in that daydream when Lanie, approached.
"Hhmm"
Kate, startled. "Lanie, hi."
"Why haven't you called me?"
"Sorry, I've been busy." Kate flushed.
"Yeah look's like it. Busy daydreaming more like. Take it your play date went well!" It wasn't a question. She grabbed the chair behind her and sat down, resting her left elbow on the desk and placing her hand under her chin "Come on girl, I want to hear every detail!"
"It was great. Really really great!" She said with the biggest smile. "And he asked me out to dinner!"
Lanie, was getting excited "I hope you accepted the invitation?"
"Yesss. It's on Friday!"
"Where's he taking you?"
"I don't know yet, he said he will call me in the week... What are you doing here on a Sunday, anyway? Did you just come here to get the gossip?"
"Well like I said, you hadn't called me to fill me in, so I thought I would come to you. Glad I did now too."
At that moment Ryan, approached " Beckett, we got a body!"
"Oh, I'm not working today, that's my queue to leave." Lanie, said as she rose from the chair. "And you..." She glared at Kate "Make sure you keep me posted!" Then winked at her with a smile before walking away.
It was Tuesday. Alexis, wasn't a very happy little girl when she arrived home from School, that day. Running straight into her father's arms.
"Hey Pumpkin, what happened?"
"It's not fair. I thought Kate, likes me!" She said with sad eyes.
"Of course she like's you. What's all this about?" He asked, moving her to sit with him on the couch.
"She didn't pick me to go up and read my story. She chose Emily. And it's not fair!" She said stamping her foot on the floor.
"Well sweety, just because Kate, is.. Err, our friend. It doesn't mean she is going to choose you for these things first all the time. Because, that wouldn't be fair on the other children. Would it?"
"I guess not." She replied with a pout lip "Don't mean I have to like it though!" And with that she ran off up stairs to her room and slammed the door.
Martha, just closing the closet door after putting the coats away moves closer "Oh dear, a sign of things to come?"
Castle sighed "I will talk to her again in a little while. Let her calm down and think about thing's first."
"You decided where you're going to take Katharine, on your date yet?"
"Paris!" He dead panned
Martha chuckled. "Oh Richard."
"I'm serious." He chuckled back "One day I will though. I'm going to take her over in Serenity. Not used my plane in years. Hopefully she still runs."
Her brow wrinkled "You don't think you're moving to quickly?"
"She's the one Mother. I just know.. I knew it from the moment I laid eyes on her."
Martha, smiled then " Well as long as you are sure. I am so happy for you darling." She leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"I am, and thank you. I'm taking her to Ai Fiori!" His smile was wide and his eyes sparkled with love at the mere thought of her.
Wednesday evening arrived, and he couldn't wait to hear her voice, as he dialed her number.
"Hi Rick." She said shyly as she answered. Trying to compose herself, as to not let him know she almost pounced on her phone when she saw his name pop up.
"Hi, I was just calling to make sure you hadn't forgotten our date on Friday!"
"Of course not. I'm looking forward to it. Where are we going?"
"I hope you like French, Italian?"
"Oh, I love French and Italian food!"
"Good. Can you be ready by say, six forty five? Tables booked for seven thirty at Ai Fiori. I'll pick you up in a Town Car."
"Wow, Yes no problem. I can't wait."
"Same here... You been busy?"
She couldn't get the smile off her face even as she said "Yeah, up to my knees in children's paint and three body drops. And it's only Wednesday!" She laughed
He laughed back "Well, you must be shattered. So, I will see you Friday six forty five."
"Yes, you will. Good night Rick."
"Good night Kate."
TO BE CONTINUED...

Californian Dream (Pt. 01 of 11)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Billy Hargrove X Reader
Word count: 2.8 K
Summary: Being part of one of the richest families of California doesn't mean you're happy. Your life is boring, and you're surrounded by meaningless people and their meaningless talk. Even during Summer, with the break you have from college, there's nothing good going on. Nothing but the new pool guy, Billy, the most handsome man you ever saw. You were successfully avoiding him, not wanting to act like an idiot in front of the guy until Billy accepts to be your date for a fancy gala you're forced to attend. The night was going well, even better when he sneaked you out to go to the beach. But a gang of criminals breaks into the party, kidnapping the heirs to the wealthiest families, which includes you. So, for your safety, your parents want you to stay with Billy, living in his apartment until the criminals are caught. And that could take weeks, maybe even months.

Lemonade
Ignoring the meaningless chattering, you drink what's left of your water, then put the glass against your neck, hoping the cold will help with the hot weather. Summers in California are always this hot, and since you're under the sun, it doesn't help. Some of your friends, or better saying, the family friends, the people you grew up with, are here again, using your pool as if it was some kind of club they can attend. Standing on this badly shaped circle, you pretend to listen as Ryan goes on about some mansion he helped his father sell this weekend. He's excited, gesticulating a lot, and the others seem to be quite interested too. But not you. Honestly, you couldn't care less.
Through the corner of your eye, you see someone moving on the other side of the huge pool, behind some trees. Turning your head to see it better, you easily recognize the new pool guy, Billy Hargrove. He's been working here for only a couple of months, coming a few times a week to clean the pool or to fix something. You always pay attention to the staff, because nobody else does. You like to know them since they're working at your house after all, and that made you befriend a lot of them throughout the years. But Billy? You haven't even crossed paths with him yet. On purpose.
Billy is by far the most handsome guy you ever met, and you just don't think you can say anything to his face. He probably thinks you're one of the silly, rich chicks he meets on his job, and for some reason, it bothers you.
“(Y/N).” Ryan snaps his fingers on your face, dragging you out of your thoughts. “Are you in there? Aren't you listening?”
“Yup. Sorry, I tuned out for a minute.” Politely, you apologize. “What were you saying?”
“The gala. Who are you going with?”
“Uhm... Not sure yet.” Playing with the empty glass, you move your weight from one leg to the other. “I don't have any good options.”
“What?” Gisele exclaims, giggling. “Robert wants to go with you. Daniel would easily ditch his date for you. And Michael–”
“Don't wanna go with neither of them.” Cutting her off, you decide to just say it. Robert is the most hateful person you ever met. Daniel has been chasing after you for years, it doesn't matter how hard you try to make him understand you don't like him, and every girl he dates, he does it to try and make you jealous. And Michael is a manipulative jerk. All three members of the most prestigious families of California, and desired bachelors. And yet, you can't stand them.
“Who are you going with then? The pool guy?” Gisele gestures at something across the pool, and you know at who.
“Maybe. I bet he's way better than Michael, Daniel, or Robert.” This makes all the five of them laugh, in a very mocking tone. But you mean it. “I might go by myself. Who cares?”
“Are you crazy? Your parents will care, and people will talk, you know that.” Ryan rolls his eyes, lightly slapping his friend's arm. “C'mon, Antony, let's find (Y/N) a fourth option.” The two guys smirk and walk away, and you don't even bother to ask what they're up to. You don't care.
“For real now, (Y/N),” Alice says, running her fingers through her hair. “Gisele is right. The three guys are so into you, and Robert...” She chuckles, exchanging a glance with Gisele. “He's hot. He's... So damn hot.”
“Why don't you go with him then?” You ask her, taking a deep breath and already thinking of an excuse to get away from this conversation and back into the secrecy of your bedroom.
“Because I'm dating.” She answers as if it was the most obvious thing. As if she didn't have a different boyfriend every month. “James Whayland. The one and only, heir to the Whayland fortune? Do you happen to know him?” A rhetoric question, of course. Everyone knows who the Whayland are. “I'm so gonna marry him.”
“You must,” Gisele adds. “You'd be like, stupidly rich.”
And they go on with that, a conversation you don't even try to follow. A lot of girls do that, getting married to join the fortunes and shove more money into their pockets. Your mother herself did it, and she tries to push you into doing the same, pointing out the richest bachelors of California. But you'd never do that. You rather never get married than getting married without love. It's so obvious, yet, if you bring that up, it always becomes an argument. ‘Love comes with time’, she says. ‘Once you're provided financial stability, you'll learn to love the provider.’ None of that sounds appealing to you. You're hoping to fall in love one day. It hasn't happened yet, but you'll patiently wait.
“Hey, Earth to (Y/N).” Ryan raises his voice, and, a little annoyed, you look up at him.
“What?”
“You're welcome.” He says with a wicked smile.
Furrowing your eyebrows, you tilt your head to the side. “For what, Ryan?”
“For getting you the best date ever for the gala, sweetie.” He and Antony laugh, and soon enough the others follow. “The pool guy is taking you to a high society party. How amazing is that?”
It takes a while for you to even process what he's saying, but his mean tone makes you angry. He thinks he's superior to anyone who doesn't have a collection of fancy cars in their garage. “First of all, Ryan, the pool guy has a name, alright?”
“Yeah, yeah. You're always close to the staff.” He emphasizes the last word, making a disgusted face.
“Second...” What? Second what? You know you can't go with Billy. That would get people talking. But then, the other options make you sick to even consider them. And honestly, you couldn't care less about what people say. It'll probably get you a hell of a lecture from your parents, a few weeks of gossips and mean comments, but that's it. Soon enough someone else will become the hottest topic. “You know what, forget it.” Putting the empty glass on the table, you walk away, ignoring how they call you, telling you not to be silly.
Maybe the guys are joking. Maybe they're just pulling a prank on you, but there's no problem with finding that out. Walking around the pool and into the garden, you walk around the supply closet, following the low noise of something being put into the metal shelves. The supply closet is open, so you patiently wait on the outside, barefoot on the grass as you move to stand to bellow a tree. Bouncing your leg, you look around, breathing deeply and trying to understand why the hell you decided to face Billy now. He's the only guy who works here you're making sure not to have any contact with.
“Good afternoon.” The voice startles you, and you immediately turn to face him. Billy is closing the closet door shut, eyes focused on you. And yes, he's far more gorgeous from up close. “May I help you, Miss–”
“(Y/N).” You cut him off, cursing yourself for doing so. “You may call me (Y/N).”
He simply nods, walking closer and stopping on a shadow spot too. “Do you need anything from me?”
“Uhm...” For a moment, you gotta think a little to remember what brought you here. “I just wanted to ask if maybe some two jerks came to talk to you... About a party... And... Taking a girl to this party...” Playing with your fingers, you wonder if he already thinks you're a total idiot.
“Yes. They said you needed a date for some gala.” Billy crosses his arms, not looking away from you. “If you need it, I can take you.”
Oh. Would he really do that? “Uhm... Look, Ryan and Antony meant it as a joke.” You gotta be honest, even if it means he'll give up the idea. “I mean, not for me, they're just... They're jerks. And they...” Holy crap. You have to get your shit together. “They thought it would be funny to make you think you could take me to this gala.” Taking a deep breath, you push the words out. “But... I would like it if you could because all my options suck. It's either Michael or Robert or Daniel, and you probably know they're all fighting for the award of the worst person on the face of Earth.”
“It might be really hard to make this decision. Might as well split the award in three.” He speaks up and you giggle. The staff don't usually speak like that about the families they work for. But Billy doesn't seem to care and you like that.
“Yeah. So... I know people will gossip about it but I'd be forever grateful if you could do me this kindness.” You're blushing now, biting your lip. “Because I know it's not your job or anything but I could pay you if you want.”
“There's no need.” Billy shakes his head, shrugging his shoulders. “It's a party, right? It will be fun.”
“Oh... About that...” Calling such events ‘parties’ is a misunderstanding. Almost a crime. “These things... Suck. It's super dull, full of rich people donating, trying to donate more them someone else just so they'll show off how rich they really are... You'll absolutely hate it. I do.” Gesturing at yourself, you give him an apologetic look. “I'd owe you for life if you help me get through it without having to put up with any of those assholes.”
Billy nods, looking down before his eyes meet yours again. “I believe I'll have to wear one of those suits right?”
“Well, I'll be in some uncomfortable dress, so we'll both be unhappy about our clothes.” Your mind goes to the lilac dress your mother made you buy, extremely expensive.
“Alright then. It's on Sunday, right?” You nod. “Should I pick you up?”
“Yes. At seven.” He gives a small nod before gesturing at the garden. “I gotta go now.”
“Sure...” Billy waves before walking away, and you stand there, wondering if you should go back to your so-called friends. You're sure Ryan will have that stupid smile on, eager to know what you and Billy have spoken about. And you won't tell anything, but you also don't want to deal with that shit right now, or else you might tell right to their faces how much of a jerk they are. So you decide to follow Billy through the garden, easily finding him by a particular big tree. He's opening a leaf tarp on a clean space on the grass before taking a fan rake. “This tree is dying.” You say, getting his attention. Billy turns around, furrowing his eyebrows. “That's why there are so many fallen leaves. See how some of them seem healthy, normal green leaves? It only happens when the tree is dying.”
“Then you should have someone cut it down before someone gets hurt.” He says, looking a little confused. “Shouldn't you go back to your friends?”
“Yeah, I probably should.” You're tired of all the things you should do, so for today, you won't do them. As silly as it may be. “Do you need some help?” You ask, stepping forward a little.
“No, I'm alright.” It sounds like a question, and you blush from the way he stares at you, for several seconds, before focusing on his task, raking the leaves to the tarp.
“Ok.” Whispering, you move to sit on a wooden table, one of the many you have scattered around the property. You try not to look at Billy too much, noticing how weird it feels to do this. You barely know the guy, he'll be your date for a gala, and now you're awkwardly seated here, watching as he works. Well, it is better than whatever your friends must be talking about now. “So... What exactly do you work with?” You ask, hoping to get any kind of conversation going. “I thought you just took care of the pool.”
“I work for a company. BJ's Associates.” Billy starts, and you take this chance to look at him. Despite the distance, you can see the sweat glistening on his forehead. “They send me to any place I'm needed. Some of them are scheduled weekly, others are random. And–” He makes a pause suddenly, giving you a look. “Are you bored yet?”
“No.” Shrugging your shoulders, you giggle. “I actually wanna know.”
He turns his head to look at the pool, which is a little distant now. Maybe he thinks this is some kind of move, and you wouldn't blame him, judging by the way the guys probably came to talk to him. “That's it. I clean pools, fix cars, might paint walls or something, clean gardens... The list goes on.”
“You know how to fix a car?” Raising an eyebrow, you move to seat on the table, placing both your feet on the wooden bench. “My car is making this weird noise and I'm sure it's not some normal noise.”
“How does it sounds like?”
“Like a clunking, I think... every time I hit the breaks, even when it's softly.”
“It could be some damage to the brake caliper.” He's quick to answer, and you raise your eyebrows, impressed. “Or it's badly mounted.”
“Damn, you're good.” You exclaim, giggling at his funny face.
“I just–”
“(Y/N)!” Amelia's voice reaches you, and Billy stops talking, resuming his job. “I've been looking for you.” The old lady, with her gray hair tied up on a perfect, sophisticated bun, comes to the table you're at, a tray with a jar and six glasses on her hands.
“I've been here chatting with Billy.” You tell as she lays the tray down. “And no, I won't go back to the pool.”
“They're talking about James Whayland.” She starts, rolling her eyes. Amelia is the only one in this house, well, the only one you know who understands you. “Alice Martin was talking about marrying him...?”
“Yup.” A stronger wind messes with your hair, so you use a hand to keep it away from your face. “Something about joining their fortunes and being the king and queen of California. Some shit like that.”
“Poor Alice.” Amelia breathes out, taking a glass and pouring some lemonade on it before handing it over to you. “That Whayland kid is not the nicest guy on Earth.”
“Poor James!” You giggle, putting your glass down and serving her some lemonade too. She doesn't like when you do that, since she's here to serve you. Amelia, the woman who raised you is here for nothing else than to serve you. So unbelievable it almost makes you laugh. “Alice isn't nice either. She can be very manipulative to get what she wants.”
“Don't I know?” She mutters. “Well, I must go. Serve this to your friends.”
“No, no, no. Take your glass and leave the rest. If someone complains tell them I'll drink the whole jar.” Taking the tray from her hands, you place it down on the table again.
“Alright, Miss–”
“(Y/N). Honey. Bunny. Anything, but not this formal stuff, ok?” You correct her, and Amelia gives you a bright smile.
“Alright, (Y/N).” She repeats before turning around and walking away, cordially greeting Billy.
Taking a sip from your glass, you smile to notice Amelia's lemonade is as good as always. A little too sour for your parents taste, but you like it better this way. Your attention goes back to Billy, still dealing with the fallen leaves, despite being almost done. If you ask, he might say no, so you just pour another glass before jumping to the ground, making your way over him. “Here.” Raising your voice, you get his attention. And once again he has this confused expression on his face when he sees the glass. “Lemonade. It's hella hot out here and this might help.”
“Thanks.” Squinting his eyes a little, he takes the glass from your hand, taking long sips, drinking almost everything.
“Sorry if it's a little too sour. I don't like much sugar on it and Amelia knows so...” When he's done, he gives you back the glass. “Why are you looking at me like that? I swear I'm not a ghost.”
“That's not it. I'm just not used to being treated like that by the owners.” Billy's voice gets a little darker, and he pronounces the last word with certain anger. But you can imagine exactly why. Most of the people you know aren't very fond of their employees. They're just the people they pay off to do what they can't do by themselves.
“I know how some of the families can be mean.” Drumming your fingers on the empty glass, you stand there, staring at Billy, just now noticing the deep, beautiful shade of blue from his eyes. Involuntary, you breathe out, smiling.
“What?”
“Nothing!” You burst out, clearing your throat and finding your legs again, making the way back at the table. “I–”
“(Y/N)!” A shout startles you, and when you turn at the source of the voice, you see it's Gisele. “Get back here! You won't guess who just got here.”
“If it isn't Michael Jackson ready to perform Beat It, I'll be disappointed.” You mutter, only loud enough for Billy to hear it as you walk back to the pool.
“Call me if it's him,” Billy says and you giggle, giving him one last look.
It's not Michael. Well, it is, but not Jackson, just Michael Rothford. He stands by the pool, where everyone gathers around him. Trying not to look pissed, you move closer, offering a polite, fake smile. “Good afternoon, Mike. How have you been?”
“I'm way better now.” He answers, and you try to ignore how everyone moves a little, giving you more space to move closer to Michael. He takes your hand, giving it a shake, and awkwardly squeezing it softly. “I'm here to ask, once again, for you to let me take you to Sunday's gala.”
The two idiots, Antony and Ryan start giggling, and you know exactly why. “Sorry, Mike, I can't.” Pulling your hand away, you cross your arms. “I already have someone, so...” Thank God you have the perfect excuse, and it's not even a lie. You're so damn relieved you won't be forced to attend to such a boring event with someone like Michael.
“Who?” He snaps, suddenly pissed. “Daniel is going with that Angela chick. Robert, you can't stand. Andrew isn't in the country, Willian–”
“You don't know him, alright?” Cutting him off, you sigh.
“Oh, shit,” Ryan mutters, and you give him a look. He has a hand covering his mouth, trying to control a laugh. “You're really going to the gala with the pool guy.” Antony burst into laughter, and the others try to control themselves not to.
“You rather go with the staff than with me?” Michael sounds offended as if he was punched in the face. “Are you kidding me, (Y/N)?”
Quickly, you try to think of something to say. You can't say the truth, that he's a hateful human being you can't stand being next to. But nothing comes to your mind. “No, I'm not. I... Actually wanna go with Billy.”
“Honestly, (Y/N), screw you.” He barks, and before you can answer, he grabs both your shoulders and pushes you straight into the water.
Everything happens way too fast for you to process, so there was no way you could tell him you absolutely can't swim. So the moment you hit the water, you just sink, your body moving to the bottom, way too far from the surface. You do try moving your legs a bit, uselessly. But you're suddenly pulled, strong arms moving you through the water until you finally reach the surface, gasping for air. Breathing fast, the terror finally starts kicking in, and you push yourself up, stumbling a little, ignoring all the hands that offer help. Once you're out of the water, seated on the edge, you finally see who saved you, Billy, also pushing himself up, only with a lot more grace than you. You exchange a glance, and his hand is the one you take, pulling yourself back to your feet.
“You can't swim?” You hear Michael's voice, a curse caught in your throat. “I never met a Californian who can't swim.”
Not minding the small crowd around, you make you walk to Michael, losing no time before slapping him right on the face, the loud noise of your wet hand colliding to his cheek startling some of your friends. “Asshole!” You yell before storming away, embarrassed, still struggling to catch your breath, feeling cold thanks to your soaked clothes.
“Hey.” Someone calls, but you ignore them, walking fast into the house. “(Y/N).” Your arm being grabbed makes you stop walking and turn around, ready to make hell rain on whoever it is, but your fury melts away when you see Billy. “Are you ok?”
Taking a deep breath, you relax a little, nodding. “Yeah, I just... Got scared.” He lets go of your arm, but you don't step away, looking into his blue, calming eyes. “Thank you, though. You saved my life.”
“Can't believe he threw you at the water like that.”
“See why I need you to take me to that stupid party?” Crossing your arms, you pace around. “I can't even begin to imagine how it'd be to spend the night with that prick.” Looking down, you notice how you and Billy are dripping, soaking the white floor. “I gotta go change, and you should... I don't know. At least you got to enjoy the pool for a while.”
“I'd rather enjoy it when you're not drowning.”
“Yeah, that would be better.” Shyly smiling, you give a step backwards. “I gotta go... But thanks again.” Stopping in your tracks, you decide to be just a little brave. Stepping closer, you tiptoe to place a quick kiss on Billy's cheek, before turning around and rushing upstairs to your bedroom.

Since the End/Begining of Time
Chapter 3 - A Predicament
The Gamma Forest
They all turned to the sound of the voice to once again to be shocked, though as they recognized who had spoken all their faces, bar Missy’s who face only showed a slight irritation, hardened, there standing in all his holographic glory, with suit shoes, checked trousers, navy shirt, checked waistcoat, purple suit jacket and a manic grin was, The Master. The trees around them seemed to stop rustling, if you asked Graham he would say they were softly shaking in fear, at the presence of two equally insane and cruel regenerations of the Master.
“Awww…. What's this not happy to see me” The Master sneered out grinning down at The Doctor, her companions and Missy. It was obvious the hologram was propelled upwards from the embedded crystals in the Missy’s axe from its place on the tree stump, so it would give the Master an air of superiority “Not even you lady version?”
“Well I don’t particularly like gifts with holographic crystals embedded in them” Missy quickly snipped “I knew they were there all along by the way”
“Sure you did” the Master sarcastically drawled “That's why you left then in the axe, even though I gave you more than enough time to remove them”
“I wasn't bothered!”
“You cut down a tree!”
“From frustration of having to see you again, it was my coping mechanism” Missy dramatically threw the back of her hand unto her forehead
The Doctor seemed to finally snapped out of the shock induced daze, by the two regeneration of the Master bickering, her face went murderous then back to perfectly calm, like a storm behind
“Where is my wife” her voice tense and full of anger, her whole posture was rigid. The whole display was full of anger and utterly fighting but was cut off by
“Wait a second, did I hear you right, wife??” questioned Graham looking at Yaz and Ryan trying to see if they knew what was going on Yaz's jaw just kept opening and closing like a goldfish, while Ryan looked like he was about to say something but kept thinking better of it.
“Yes yes, the Doctor has a mongrel wife” The holographic Master quickly said interrupting any questions from the Doctor's companions were going to ask, effectively moving the process much faster, “On the topic of the half-breed, do I need to get tested for rabies or something, she made me bleed!” lifting up his left hand to reveal a human, mouth shaped bite mark that even with the hologram you could see it was bleeding.
Then a chair leg appeared in the hologram smashed off the Master's head before the Master fell forward towards the doctor and Co. then disappeared from their view. Then what the Doctor will always call the voice of a goddess spoke saying two words she really wanted to hear
“Hello Sweetie” with a certain amount of flair only River Song could pull off “Sorry but he likes the sound of his own voice way too much and he would have started on done sort of long dramatic speech I did us all a favour by stopping him and may I just say he was being too dramatic it was only a tiny nip he was annoying me”
“None of your bites are tiny” The Doctor muttered under her breath, softly rubbing her neck
“What was that sweetie” the woman who now stood exactly where the Master previously had been not 2 minutes ago and she seemed to radiate so much power it rivaled if not more then him, now smirking down at the Doctor “I didn't quite catch that”
“It was nothing dear” the Doctor full on squeaked and flustered about, before looking her straight in the eye “I just missed you”
The Doctor and River seemed to be in a world of their own cataloguing each others every features savouring each curve, freckle, remembering the exact colour of each others eye and-
“Yes, yes, your happy to see your curly haired half-breed, can you stop now I think I'm going to puke” Missy said breaking the spell over the wives “Also how did you escape whatever other me used to trap you, did I keep all the brains when I regenerated?”
Both they both silently decided to just completely ignore Missy and turned to the Doctor’s fam when Graham finally decided to speak up
“Um doc, what's going on? And who's that?”
“Aww you're still going around not telling people about me? Do I embarrass dear?” the space hair woman put on a pout and looked over at her wife. The Doctor blushed and looked away before muttering
“It's too hard to explain our timelines on its own that's without adding all the other stuff, plus, it never came up”
River looked as if she was about to answer, but instead her eyes just widened she tensed up and collapsed
“River!” the Doctor cried, her voice breaking and on her face was pure terror for her wife, this shocked her fam as they were used to seeing her with bright smiles and a cheery attitude even if it seemed a bit fake at times.
“Oh don't be so dramatic! She's only unconscious” the Master said as he kicked River out of the projection and reclaimed his spot once more, rubbing his left hand, that was now covered in blood from the bite off the back of his head, where he had been hit “You really thought I would keep you pet assassin without precautions did you? “
“What have you done to her?!”
The Master’s infamous manic grin formed on his face as he held up a remote “I have put a little incentive in the shape of about 50 eltronic shock emitters…… meaning your trained psychopath has multiple tiny devices, that I can use these little beauties to just knock her out but they can also send out a powerful enough shock to fry all three brain stems and stop her hearts from pathetically beating, she would be completely stone dead never to live again”
“Do you understand the time ripples that will send, the timelines will be destroyed, would you really do that just to get at me?”
“Oh you don't know? Oh this is amazing!” the manic grin seemed to grow even bigger on his face as he watched the Doctor's confusion “Oh come on Doctor why haven't you got it yet, do I need to spell it out for you?” the Master questioned teasingly “You get it lady version don't you or did I take all the brains with me when I became my own being?”
“Of course I know, I figured it out when she first teleported into my beautiful Tardis” Missy snapped back
The Doctor looked between the two masters, looking truly lost, before looking straight at the Master
“what do you mean?” she was confused, angry and was on the verge of snapping and she needed answers quickly
“It means that this River Song is from after the Library, it means that this is your supposed lover after you failed to save her, it means that your wife could die all over again and you would be failing her, letting her die all over again just after she was saved”
The Doctor’s face was pure joy at the thought of her wife being once again alive, after such a long time, then her face hardened at one fact the Master lied they always did trying to find the best way to destroy her, having hope again only to lose it again would be the final step in the her destruction.
“Did you really think I would fall for that, getting my hopes up so that even when I save River from you, I will once again have to send her along to her death like every other time”
“Do you really believe I'm that cruel?” Missy asked annoyed “I did see you after Darillium after all”
The Doctor winced at the name of her home for 24 years, the last place she had ever seen River before this
“Yes yes I do” the Doctor snapped at Missy who then had the audacity to look upset. She then turned back to the Master and asked
“What do you want?”
“Finally the question I have been wanting to hear” the Master sneered down at her “Let's meet up and discuss, how about the ruins of Galifrey at our favorite spot, bring lady version won't you don't want to have her getting in the way somehow” and his hologram disappeared leaving once again silence.

Honey Trap.
Mackenzie got more than he bargained for.
Mackenzie Fanfic
Tumblr media
Mack was wandering round Waitrose doing his weekly shop. I'm a man of means now so I can afford to shop upmarket he thought.
"Oh fancy seeing you here" a voice behind him said.
Mack turned around "Oh Honey" said a surprised Mack. "what you doing here. Are you with Billy?"
"I work here handome" Honey replied. "I've just finished my shift why dont we go for a drink?"
"What about my shopping"? Mack enquired.
"Better still we can go back to your place and you can unpack your shopping first" said Honey.
Mack got home and unpacked his shopping.
"Right I've got you all to myself now" said Honey pushing Mack on the sofa.
"What are you doing Honey. Please Billy is due in and I dont think he'd be very pleased. Besides I'm seeing someone" pleaded Mack.
"Oh come on you worry too much" purred Honey undoing Mack's shirt.
"I'm serious please stop" said Mack trying to button his shirt back up.
"Stop what I haven't started yet" said Honey.
"Ok you win" said Honey. "Would you show me where the bathroom is Mackenzie." Mack went upstairs and showed Honey where the bathroom was.
"Which is your room? Come on I only want to have a quick look" said Honey.
"Look at what?" said Mack.
"Whatever you want me to look at" said Honey with a glint in her eye pushing Mackenzie into his room.
"I thought you wanted the bathroom. Lets go down now" said an anxious Mackenzie.
"Oh dont be shy" laughed Honey.
"Its only a little bit of fun" said Honey pushing Mackenzie onto the bed.
Tumblr media
"Are you upstairs?" a voice shouted from downstairs. "Get your arse down here your cat is chewing Ryans socks"
"Its Billy" exclaimed Mack. "Let's go down." said a relieved Mack.
"Hi Honey" said Billy "what you doing here"
"Just popped in to see you sweetie" Honey said winking at Mack. "And Mack was just showing me where the bathroom was".
"You know where it is" said Billy.
"Must love you and leave you now boys or I'll be late for my lap dancing class." said Honey.
" She doesnt need any lap dancing classes believe me". said a relieved Mack. "Thank God you came in I was nearly at the point of no return." gasped Mack. "You know if I was to do that to some woman I'd be had up for sexual harassment"
Tumblr media
"Well you're not wrong there Mack" said. Billy. "You are going to have to grow a pair. Every Tom Dick and Shirley will be trying to bed you now you're in the money, you need to take up Marshal Arts to fight them off" laughed Billy.
"Cant stand the sight of blood" said Mack wretching at the thought. "I'm not an aggressive person"
"Yep. You're definitely a big softie" said Billy picking fluff up to give her a cuddle.
"I wouldn't care but she frightened the life out of my little fluff with her carryings on" said Mack.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels something is inconsistent with the writing!
There are some great ideas. Don't get me wrong. But I have two main issues.
They need to bring in an antagonist. I don't know, man. Make it a recurring guest who's a douche (male or female or other) that works in the firehouse. That way, they can have that person be the antagonist when they feel they need one. Because currently, when they need someone to do something kind of dick-ish, they have to have it done by people who are established as sweetie pies. (ie: Buck being so agressive with the probie, Buck (3.0, even) oh yeah sure I'll revert to 1.0 while you're insecure, etc....) which leads me to:
Eddie. Eddie, the go to antagonist who gets turned into an asshole when they need one. A guy who'd call themselves Buck's best friend. Who's a grown ass man. Who turns into a 1st year frat boy douche canoe when he *thinks* his best bro might be into a girl, steps in, keeps them apart, flirts with her and makes fun of the whole thing. Who is that guy?? That's not the Eddie I know. The Eddie I know, I expect would talk Buck up and make sure they did meet. Because he'd find Buck the fan boy hilarious and ridiculous and adorable. And that would be banter.
The Eddie I know would not get mean and mock and keep on mocking what constitues basically his teammates' religious beliefs. (Jinx) and for that matter. The Cap I know would have told him to knock it off.
I dunno. I've started to wonder if I've missed Eddie being an ass all that time but I don't think so. I think it's just bad writing and I'd hate to be Ryan right now. Because he probably loves Eddie and Eddie's got a lot of really cool things happening but... he's also have to watch that.
Speaking of Eddie being badly written... We've had a few episodes centered around the Buckleys so I guess they felt they needed to counter balance. The focus in Hen and Karen is done great. But Eddie? Yikes. The 'hero gets to give a speech that saves the day' felt so forced and gratuitous. I feel bad for the character.
*sigh*
Anyway. Sorry about your inbox. I got my frustration all over it.
I think for certain things Eddie’s attitude kinda makes sense, but more when it’s a joking kind of thing. I definitely think he’s gotten better after starting therapy, but I do agree that something is just starting to feel a little bit off I guess? Idk how exactly to explain it. The Eddie and Marjan thing definitely was strange because even after knowing the Buck was trying to flirt with her he still didn’t say anything good about Buck or explain why he was staring. I know they probably did it for the laughs, but I would’ve liked to see them all get along at the end. I know these characters aren’t supposed to be perfect and I love that they’re actually writing their growth, but in some aspects it’s feeling a bit all over the place.
