A/N: A series of incorrect quotes that made me think of Flash & Peter in @kzele Mutual Bullying AU wherein Flash is Spiderman & Peter's his hypercompetent sidekick that forces him to undergo something worse than puberty: ✨character development✨
F: I think I'm having a mid-life crisis. P: You're 16. F: I might die at 32!
P: Please, I'm begging you, go to a doctor. F: I'm sorry is this OUR stab wound? Stay out of it.
F: Today is a day of running through hurdles. P: Aren’t you supposed to jump over hurdles? F: Whatever. Fear is only something to be afraid of if you let it scare you.
F: I've gotten faster at math. P: Alright, what's 30x17? F: 47. P: That's not even close! F: But it was fast.
P: This is a bad idea. F: Then why're you tagging along? P: Someone has to talk the cops out of arresting you! F: I hate that you're right.
F: Oh shit, you use humor to deflect trauma, don't you? P: Thank you F: I didn't say that was a good thing! P: What I'm hearing is, you think I'm funny.

Mark grayson x male reader with the powers of john Constantine? Maybe Mark on a mission involving demons and after some trouble Cecil reluctantly decides to call the reader for help
Mark Grayson x Constantine Male Reader
Headcanons
Tumblr media
Guess who’s been ignoring his exam prep and watching YouTube instead? This guy. Reader is also a little older than the other characters, but how much older you can choose for yourself.
Demons weren’t something completely out of the norm for the heroes of this world. Way too many so called villains would summon low grade demons and imps to wreak havoc. Very few were actually able to summon sentient and powerful beings.
Invincible had been sent in since theyd just thought it would be like every other weak magician who thought they could take over the world. That was until the demon that appeared was actually one of the well-known demons from the bible.
Other heroes were called in, like the newer guardians of the globe. But even they didn’t stand a chance against this demon, who was getting a little too close to civilization for the GDAs comfort.
As much as Cecil hates it, he knows he has to call you. You’ve never had any respect for the GDA, for the government, and had always insulted heroes to their face, calling them government bootlickers and the likes.
Cecil would have locked you away a while ago, if you weren’t so damn good at what you did. There was also the fact that he, and the magicians he had on hand, were pretty damn sure you could unleash hell itself on earth if you wanted, so they were cautious.
You also just happen to be kind of a dick, though mainly to Cecil. For some reason you’ve always gotten along well with Donald for a reason the GDA doesn’t understand. You just know he’s a great guy though, which is why you’ll treat him a little better.
So with great reluctance, since he knows youre gonna be rubbing this in his face and ribbing him, Cecil contacts you. He would most likely have to use some kind of spell or sigil, since there’s no way you’d share your number with this guy, or pick up if he called.
The guardians of the globe and Mark aren’t really sure what to expect when they hear Cecil sigh over their earpieces. He sounds more exhausted and agitated than any of them have ever made him, which says a lot.
Cecil barely gets to explain who you are before you swagger out of a portal in your trench coat and a to-go coffee cup in your hand with your preferred drink.
Immortal and Robot are probably the only ones who know who you are. Immortal cuz hes worked with you in the past, and Robot cuz he’s a creep that knows too much, and there’s no way he wouldn’t know about someone as powerful as you.
The heroes would already be over your shit, since you paid way too much for this drink to let it go to waste. So, you are gonna stand here, and you are gonna finish your drink, and then you are gonna help.
Mark must acknowledge that you are pretty hot, with your exhausted features and the tired but knowing look in your eyes. Its like you know exactly what you are looking at, and like you know exactly what to do.
The heroes get thrown around a bit more, just for your own humor and cuz you know they can take it. them yelling at you in frustration just makes you pick at your nails and sass them, telling them you came here out of the goodness of your heart, and you feel so attacked right now?
Its only when Mark crashes into the ground right beside you, and this cute traffic light yellow guy with cracked goggles and a bloody nose politely asks you to help that you decide, sure, why not. It’s also definitely because of the cute pout on his lips and the puppy eyes he’s giving you form the crater he’s in.
You give him what’s left of your too expensive drink, telling him some flirty comment about “watch and learn, invincible”. You make air quotes with your fingers when you use his hero name, since nobody is invincible, even viltrumites. You know this since you’ve stumbled across quite a lot of them in hell over the years.
His small blush is very cute though, which makes you decide to wrap this up real quick.
To none of Cecil’s surprise. You know this demon, and it owes you a pretty big favor. You don’t use your favor obviously, why would you do that? Theres better things to use a demons favor for. Instead, you just use a good chunk of spells, sigils, and other magic arts to cast them back to hell.
Cue some complaining from multiple members of the guardians of the globe. If you could do that from the very beginning, why did you keep watching them get thrown around like that?
As they complain and argue around you, you just swagger back to where Mark was sitting cutely and sipping on your drink. It shouldn’t shock you a guy like him likes whatever sweet monstrosity you bought. Fits his cute smile at least.
Immortal doesn’t even argue with you, knowing its like talking to a damn wall. Except the wall claps back, and will be petty enough not to help you next time.
It also doesn’t shock Cecil when you ask Mark out for lunch, since you’re a known flirt. You also may be a flirt, but you are damn loyal, so he can’t even say to Mark you’re a bad partner.
Marks eyes widen comically, sputtering around the drink he had been nursing when you just dropped that on him. His face goes bright red, since no one has ever actually asked him out, especially so boldly.
He fumbles for a bit, but he does end up stuttering out a yes. He doesn’t know you too well yet, and neither do you know him, but what could lunch together hurt? So he ends up clutching your number, and sigil, on a piece of paper in his hand, as you portal away again.
The place is still a damn mess from the demon’s rampage, but Mark feels extra weightless as he helps clean up, not even really paying attention to some of the others complaining about how you left without helping clean up.

'The moment Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor regenerated will go down history as one of the great rug-pulls of modern Who.
There she was, standing on a rocky outcrop, ready to hand over the mantle to the next in line. But this time there was an extra twist for those watching. Instead of regenerating into Ncuti Gatwa, who was announced as the next Doctor in 2022 after rising to fame in Netflix's Sex Education, people instead saw David Tennant standing in his place, ready to reprise the role he’d last held thirteen years ago.
To quote the Doctor, as he reacted to this change of plans: what?!
With that catchphrase (can a word be a catchphrase? With Tennant, anything is possible), he was back in the TARDIS, and I was immediately reinvested – catapulted back in time to a version of my teenage self where long scarves were sacred and Converse magically looked good when paired with pinstripe suits.
I wasn’t around for original Who, but watched from behind the sofa as my father (a lifelong fan) turned on the telly for the reboot in 2005. Terrifying as the Daleks may be, this show is catnip for kids: the monsters; the prospect of entering a magic box and going for adventures in time and space; and above everything else, the knowledge the Doctor will ultimately save the day.
Heading up the first rebooted series, Christopher Eccleston came and went, with a brooding kind of mystique to him – a bit too dour for my nine-year-old self, but the baddies kept me hooked: the gas-mask zombies, the Slitheen, even (shudder) the return of the Daleks. And just as I was getting properly into the show, along came David Tennant.
For millions of fans like me, Tennant wasn’t just a version of the Doctor: he was the definitive Doctor. Taking the reins from Eccleston after the show’s excellent but troubled first season (Eccleston has talked about how leaving the show put him on a BBC blacklist and almost destroyed his career), he immediately breathed fresh life into the character.
Alongside the showrunner Russell T Davies (who himself has an impressive list of credits to his name, including It's A Sin and Queer as Folk) Tennant helped launch Who into the stratosphere: suddenly, watching the show was (wait for it) cool, something that both kids and adults would tune in for. In its prime, Doctor Who under Tennant pulled in as many as 13m viewers - a world away from Jodie Whittaker's swansong, which only pulled in four.
Davies’ combination of grounded characters – he always took the time to flesh out the companion’s families and make their lives feel meaningful – and tightly plotted episodes was a winning combination. Think The Parting of the Ways, where the Doctor and Rose tearfully bid farewell on a bleak beach in Norway; or the haunting Midnight, which must be among his bleakest.
Of course, a great script is one thing, but selling it is another. As the face of the show, Tennant could switch from cheeky chappie to ultra-serious blaster of baddies in a nanosecond; yes, Eccleston had the gravitas, but Tennant had that, plus sass. And clearly, he loved playing the Doctor: a lifelong fan himself, he once told GWR FM, "Who wouldn't want to be the Doctor? I've even got my own TARDIS!" It’s a fair point.
Needless to say, I lapped it up; even more so when Catherine Tate came on board as the permanently furious Donna. It was a golden era, but alas, all good things must come to an end. When both Davies and Tennant left in 2010, the show struggled. Matt Smith was charismatic and chirpy, yes, but the writing, under Steven Moffat’s tenure, was blander, the plots more slapdash. Where were the classics: the Blinks, the Empty Children?
As the years progressed, I stopped watching entirely – as did many others. Doctor Who was no longer cool; it was once again the domain of nerds and dedicated fans who were invested enough in the show's lore that the fiendishly complicated scripts made sense (or indeed the show's revolving catalogue of rebooted monsters from the original series). For some, the bad patches were worth toughing out. Which is fine, of course; I’m a nerd myself.
Something was missing; a spark, perhaps. Both Jodie Whittaker and Peter Capaldi’s tenures suffered as a result of poor scriptwriting; the plots were shoddy. The Doctor suddenly started sprouting mysterious incarnations. Why were the Weeping Angels suddenly everywhere? I would read the series reviews and roll my eyes at the screen, longing for the good old days.
I was just about ready to hang up my sonic screwdriver for good - at least until I heard that Russell T Davies was coming back as the series’ showrunner once more, along with Tennant and Catherine Tate as his companion Donna. The classic gang, back together again, and returning for one more bite at the apple before passing on the mantle to Gatwa.
Bringing Tennant back was a masterstroke from Davies. If my ears pricked up, so too did the ears of thousands of ex-Whovians, hungry for some sweet nostalgia. And we’ve been amply rewarded: that first sight of Tennant strolling around London in his revamped Tardis made me squeal like a child. As did the first mention of “Allons-y!”, his old catchphrase.
Watching him bounce around the universe with old companion Donna has been a joy; even better, this is a Doctor brought firmly into the modern-day universe. He’s still recognisably himself, but this time around he has crushes on Nathaniel Curtis’ Isaac Newton (“He was so hot... oh! Is that who I am now?”) and lets Donna and her daughter Rose (Yasmin Finney) school him on pronoun usage. You can sense the mischief in Davies’ pen, as well as the clear love he still has for the series, peppering his scripts with Easter eggs galore.
So as the third and final special approaches, I’m not ready to let Tennant go yet. How could I be? We've only just gotten him back, but wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey rolls on, and it's been a joy to see the show looking more invigorated than it has in years.
Job done? With Davies in charge, I'm optimistic that the soft reboot he and Tennant have kick-started will continue in style. Gatwa has big shoes to fill, but one thing's for certain about Doctor Who: it's all about change. Roll on the future... but if Tennant ever decides to make another guest appearance, I'll be there in the blink of a Weeping Angel's eye.'

Sorry, I'm embarrassed to write this... But could you write the <incorrect quotes> with Peggy and reader?
It's just that the lack of content about Peggy and reader is a little frustrating. 🤕
hi! oh, my God, I'm so glad of your request! I didn't think I needed it until you showed up and asked me to. here's your order. and for all of you, it's worth saying that if you have any requests or ideas related to Marvel characters and incorrect quotes, then tell me :)
Y/n: Peggy, are you alright? You seem really tired. Peggy: Yeah, sorry. I didn't sleep well last night. Y/n: Maybe you should take a nap? Peggy: No, I can't. I have too much work to do. Y/n: Well, you know what they say: "Work hard, nap harder."
-
Y/n: I feel like I'm not good enough for you.
Peggy: Nonsense, darling. You're the only one who can handle my sass.
-
Y/n: I'm sorry, I'm just really bad at dancing.
Peggy: That's alright, I'm not so great either.
Y/n: Really? You always look so graceful...
Peggy: That's because I have a secret weapon.
Y/n: What's that?
Peggy: Whiskey.

Other, more casual Eva manga thoughts - a lot of the characterizations are different. This is intentional! Sadamoto comments that to make the process of writing the manga "work" for him, he had to make the characters, especially Shinji, more like himself and the kind of things he would write. Shinji is in fact way more confident and full of sass, right from the get-go; even when Toji is threatening to beat him up he actually mocks him for it:
Tumblr media
He still struggles with being unwanted and unsure of his place, but he no longer has that sense of being useless as a motivator for that undesirability (or not nearly as much). Some of this is certainly Sadamoto's preferences, but I have to imagine the medium is playing a role here; on screen Shinji can be a mute mope as background elements, movement, music, and the vitality of the world create engagement. In a manga you can do that...sometimes. But dialogue is more important, so Shinji needed to be a bit more talkative. Its a good change for him overall as a fit for said medium.
It interacts more poorly with Misato though. Sadamoto comments that his goal was for this to be a less "mature" Evangelion, aimed to be understandable to the 14-15 year old. As such things like Misato & Kaji's dynamic is considerably reduced, and some of the more detailed politics moments are stripped away. Compounding on this is sassy boy Shinji very frequently takes Misato down a peg. She has a lot of faces like these:
Tumblr media
All of this adds up to make Misato fundamentally a less adult character, and not have that sense of being in-charge that she does in the show. Which is a bit of a loss, as the show has that great dynamic where younger you projects into Shinji, and older you sees yourself in Misato; they aren't such nice foils anymore, so that doesn't work as well.
She also is Sadamoto's vessel of choice for fanservice - generally restrained, this is ironically not that pervy a work for Sadamoto, but there is enough small moments that add up to chip away at Misato's seriousness. She is really hot though, so tradeoffs.
Rei is notably improved; there is a famous quote from Anno where, after Episode 6, he says he had no clue what to do with Rei anymore, and as such she is shunted into the backseat and Asuka gets the limelight starting in Episode 8. This is exaggerated ofc (Rei gets her moments later) but it has a ring of truth to it; Sadamoto (given that Rei is his favourite) seems to have set out to correct that imbalance. Rei gets multiple scenes reflecting on her relationship with Shinji, bonding with him, holding hands a garden once (very cute), and just having scenes "for her" that the anime tends not to have. Something I like the most is that is has scenes of Rei interacting with and reflecting on her relationship with Gendo:
Tumblr media
Which is a bit of a black hole in the anime, yet clearly is the defining relationship in her life. She is explicitly Shinji's romantic interest to boot - which imo is important to make Instrumentality!Rei's temptation of Shinji to choose death more appealing on an emotional level, "choosing Rei" seems more compelling. Yeah its kindof him wanting to fuck his mom, but its Eva, we are here for that shit. And it also gives Rei more agency in that process; she is no longer just the vessel of Lilith/Adam's fusion and the forces of Instrumentality, but someone helping the person she cares about.
I'll make a separate post for Asuka.
Finally, we have Gendo, who has a fucking AT Field in his palm and he blocks bullets

FIC REC WEEK 12 – OTHER MARVEL SHIPS
CLINT/BUCKY
I Hate Running by copperbadge
Pairing: Bucky/Clint Rating: T Words: 916 Tags: Running, Flirting, Murder Strut
Summary: Clint and Bucky go running. This was a potential mistake.
Reasons why I love it: This fic is so goddamn funny, it cracks me up every single time. Poor Bucky and his moonshine crackpot serum, he never stood a chance. There are so many fantastic lines in this that I can't possibly quote them all, so I hope you go and check this one out, because it's amazing!
Trainwreck Through A Rear Window by flawedamythyst
Pairing: Bucky/Clint Rating: T Words: 9,840 Tags: No Powers, PTSD, Deaf Clint
Summary: Through Clint's big main window, you could see straight across the street and into the apartment opposite, where a man was standing, staring at Clint as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. When he caught Clint's eye, he just shook his head slowly. -- The guy in the apartment opposite spends way too much time watching Clint make a fool of himself, which wouldn't matter as much if he weren't also smoking hot.
Reasons why I love it: They're so fucking cute, ugh, I can't. Clint The Trainwreck Barton is just the best, I laughed my ass off multiple times. And everyone rooting for him and Bucky from the sidelines is just adorable. The way they finally meet is perfect too. This fic is amazing, and I hope you give it a shot, if you haven't already!
crack the whip, shape-shift and trick by shatteredhourglass
Pairing: Bucky/Clint Rating: T Words: 2,347 Tags: Trans Clint, Protective Bucky, Chest Binding
Summary: “Remember when Tony sat you and Steve and Thor down and started that god-awful PowerPoint Presentation about queer people?” Bucky snorts. “Did he think that they just fuckin’ appeared out of nowhere after the war? Honestly. I nearly shot his computer. Steve liked it.” -- A request from Tumblr for some trans Clint
Reasons why I love it: I would pay good money to see that presentation Tony whipped up. I love Bucky's reaction to Clint's gender identity, and the fluff that follows is pure gold. This fic is lovely, and I hope you give it a shot for yourself!
Maybe If You're Good by circ_bamboo
Pairing: Bucky/Clint Rating: E Words: 3,984 Tags: PWP, Wall Sex, Banter
Summary: "So, we share an ex." Bucky seriously thought about grabbing one of the knives on the counter and stabbing Clint for trying to talk to him before coffee, but he'd promised Steve he wouldn't do that and promised Tony that he wouldn't get any more blood on surfaces that didn't clean easily. (And then there is snark and wallsex.)
Reasons why I love it: Honestly, when Clint flexes, I dare anyone to keep their concentration. This fic is so much fun – Clint and Bucky sassing each other and Bucky teasing the fuck out of Clint is great. And on top of that, the smut is hot as hell. I love this fic to bits, and I bet you will too!
Got Me Lyin' (for your love) by Kangofu_CB
Pairing: Bucky/Clint Rating: T Words: 4,266 Tags: Meet-Cute, Veteran Bucky, Deaf Clint
Summary: Clint advertises himself as a ‘semi-acceptable to totally inappropriate boyfriend for all your family holiday, family dinner, corporate Christmas party, and other fake-dating needs’. It's surprisingly lucrative, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas, and he is always very clear with his ‘dates’ exactly what he is and isn't willing to do, and anything physical beyond some hand-holding or maybe a light peck on the mouth is completely off the table. So when Natasha asks him for a favor - to help out one of her friends with his own special brand of help, Clint readily agrees. But James 'Bucky' Barnes is nothing like Clint's other clients.
Reasons why I love it: Clint falling head over heels for Bucky's murder strut, we love to see it. I can totally see Clint offering services like this, and I love that bit with Todd in the beginning there. This fic is super funny and sweet, so I hope you check it out for yourself!
Synchronicity by AvaKelly
Pairing: Bucky/Clint Rating: M Words: 7,346 Tags: Avengers Tower, Bed Sharing, Clint Needs a Hug
Summary: James ends up berating himself internally while the meals get ready. He can't stomach any food right now, so he leans onto the counter with his coffee while everyone else eats. That's when Clint stumbles in, eyes half closed and hair in disarray. He's wearing one of James' hoodies, the one Tony's given him as a joke, that says Cyborg on the front and Murderous Kitten on the back, but is surprisingly soft. OR: the one where Clint falls asleep everywhere and James takes it upon himself to carry him to bed.
Reasons why I love it: This one is just beautiful. Bucky slipping so effortlessly into his role as the one who takes care of Clint, giving him everything he needs – I could read that all day. The story beats that touch on their trauma are heart-breaking, but it just makes the fluff that follows all the sweeter. I love this fic, and I highly recommend that you check it out for yourself!

3. Surprise Party – TMNT 1987 
This is totally inspired by iztarshi's birthday loop fic please go check it out.
After a very long day of fending off several well-meaning friends, acquaintances, and enemies—those might not have been well-meaning. Probably not? Hard to say—Leonardo is exhausted.
Who knew unplanning surprise parties was even harder than planning them?
Look, Raphael made it very clear last year that he did not enjoy his birthday, nor did he appreciate anyone's attempts to make him celebrate it. Leonardo could make some sacrifices to respect those wishes.
But after a whole day of it, he is really and truly beat, so when Michelangelo suggests ordering in and having a movie night, he readily forgoes his planned meditation session. Pizza and bad monster movies: the great panacea for every teenage turtle.
He unsurprisingly spends most of the film just shy of sleep until the snap of the television shutting off startles him back to awareness. Raphael releases the remote to the clutches of the couch cushions with a jaw-cracking yawn.
Donatello and Michelangelo, he notices, are curled together on a pillow nest at the base of the couch. They likely drifted off partway through the movie, equally exhausted from their day of misadventures.
"Well, gang," Raphael announces, perhaps unaware they're the only two awake, "It's officially a new day. And I must say, I am just so crushed that not one of you wished me a happy birthday yesterday."
Confusion laps at the edge of his consciousness as the words filter in. Was it really past midnight alre—
Wait. Crushed? By what?
No, not physically. He's upset. With them?
Oh no, he's hurt his little brother, hasn't he? He told Donatello they should have asked Raphael before making plans behind his back. Leonardo lurches forward to grab Raphael in a hug.
"Oh, you're awake," Raphael pats his shell automatically, "and crying. I was kidding, Leonardo."
Crying, right. The jumble of sensations on his face is starting to make more sense. He clings a little more.
"Man, I always forget how weepy you are when you're tired." Raphael shuffles around, readjusting for as much comfort as possible with his arms full of sniffling turtle.
Raphael sighs, "Look, I may not be a Ninja Master, O Great One, but my senses work perfectly well. Despite what I will magnanimously assume were your best efforts, I know what you three got up to today."
Leonardo blinks until he's somewhere a little closer to wakefulness. "Oh."
"And Michelangelo might be loud, but Mondo Gecko is a lot louder."
He giggles at the memory of Michelangelo trying to yell over Mondo Gecko. At about midday, he'd all but invaded the lair with an unholy number of streamers and party hats, singing "Happy Birthday" at the top of his lungs. "Oh."
Raphael peers down at him with a smirk, "Eloquent."
He leans up to double-check Raphael is un-crushed physically and emotionally, smushing his cheeks with great seriousness. "So, you’re not upset?"
"No, Leonardo." Raphael endures the smothering but not without sounding incredibly put upon. "I am not upset about our quote-unquote 'absolutely, one hundred percent normal, honestly-it'll-just-be-like-any-other day.'"
They both chuckle at the reminder of Donatello's words that morning. They sound silly coming from Raphael, but he has a gift for matching their brother's unwavering earnestness with biting humor.
Then quietly, so quietly Leonardo only hears it because he is fully in Raphael's personal space, he begrudgingly adds, "A day that the three of you went to truly ridiculous lengths to maintain."
And maybe he's just tired, worn out, and bleary, but tucked beneath the familiar sass, Leonardo detects a kernel of gratitude.  
"Oh."
With a magnificent roll of his eyes, Raphael finally shoves him away. "Well, now you just sound like a broken record. How are you still awake? You look like the dead."
"Because I am." He sinks back into Raphael's arms, words muffled as he nuzzles closer. "You are speaking with the ghost of Leonardo."
"Hah! Go to sleep, you goof."
"Hmmkay. Good night, Raphael. Happy unbirthday."
He huffs, "Who, me?"
And then Leonardo finally, blessedly falls asleep.

Sooooo, any thoughts on recent chapter? I really have to say I can not stay cool with Kidd-Shanks scenes because my mind just goes
“Those are big words coming from the guy so intimidated by my tiny, pregnant wife, he’s trying to hide the fork he accidentally bent in half.”
“Daddy is already big enough, No compensation necessary. Just ask my wife.”
"Whisky or beer. You look like a beer guy"
"So just to clarify you do not want yours in sippy cup, right?"
“If the obvious hasn’t already been stated by my keeping of this bar: a barkeep"
“But speaking of chewing—I lost my arm, too, but you don’t see me swearing revenge on the sea king that ate it.”
“Listen. I get it. You’re upset you didn’t get the chance to exact vengeance while I was still an active pirate. I agree it would have made a much better headline than ‘Shameless Copycat Loses Second Arm In Fight With Local Barkeep’. "
I bet Shanks's sass is equal damage power with his haki...
And NO FIGHT IN PREMISES, PLEASE. BOSSLADY DOESN'T ALLOW IT.
I LOVED IT!! Hands down one of my favourite One Piece chapters of all time. My crew!! MY BELOVED CHIEF<3
I also feel pretty validated in my interpretation of Shanks, re: the wonderful coexistence of 'are you sure my opponent has healed enough for this?' and then absolutely annihilating Kidd's crew. He is an Emperor for a reason, which I thought this chapter showcased perfectly, while still maintaining that he's an honourable man, and showing why he's so beloved. Carefree attitude and compassion aside, if forced, he won't flinch (Patrick Rothfuss' 'the anger of a gentle man' quote comes to mind). In fact, this whole scene with Kidd just feels like an extension of the scene with the bandits at the very beginning of the series, but then it carries the same message: I won't stand for anyone harming my friends, and don't pick a fight with me unless you're willing to bet your life on it.
Speaking of picking fights, as much as I love writing Shanks brutally taking down his enemies via sass (case in point: the above quotes), as my fics can also attest to, I adore an overblown battle scene, and oh my god, THIS BATTLE. Poor Kidd didn't stand a chance. Ngl there have been times where I've wondered if I've written Shanks a little too overpowered but NEVERMIND haha, I feel justified. Also DIVINE DEPARTURE, what an incredibly cool and ridiculously extra name for an attack, which Makino will be giving him grief for later.
The man also gave some great face this chapter:

Blue Castle Chapters 16 and 17
“It is a pity to gather wood-flowers. They lose half their witchery away from the green and the flicker. The way to enjoy wood-flowers is to track them down to their remote haunts—gloat over them—and then leave them with backward glances, taking with us only the beguiling memory of their grace and fragrance.”
I’m starting in the middle, but with how often Cissy gets compared to flowers in chapter 16 this quote seems particularly meaningful. It’s Valancy quoting John Foster, but it also feels like a comment on Cissy going into the wider world and being ruined by heartbreak and illness. More generally this story seems fairly firmly on the side of ‘nature and freedom good, repressive society bad’ and picking a wildflower to watch it die in a flower vase is a good summation of that theme.
And Valancy is blossoming herself now that she is away from the suffocation of her family. In their post on chapter 15 @thesweetnessofspring pointed out the irony in Mrs. Stirling saying that the greatest happiness was to live life in loving service of others and then proceeding to flip out when Valancy went to do just that. Because Valancy is indeed going out to provide a service to others, she is doing it with love in her heart, and she is wildly, blissfully happy doing so. We’re shown that it’s not just the freedom from her family that she likes. She enjoys keeping house. She enjoys cooking for the household. She enjoys helping Cissy and taking care of her and feeling needed.
There is a lot of people-as-gardens/plants symbolism in this book in general. And how both people and plants thrive when they’re given what they need and suffer when they’re not. Valancy’s rosebush is physically healthy under the Stirling’s care, but it doesn’t bloom, just as Valancy herself was fed and clothed and taken to the doctor as needed but spiritually crushed. Abel Gay’s garden was neat and well cared for when Cissy was well, but has been neglected since she stopped being able to care for it, just as Cissy herself has faded away once people stopped caring for her. People, like plants, need care but they need the right kind of care. Too much attention can be just as detrimental as too little, when it’s the wrong kind of attention.
The second running theme in these two chapters is, of course, that now that Valancy has gotten a taste of speaking her mind she is finding that she rather likes it. And, unlike the Stirlings, Abel Gay likes it when she does so. It’s not said openly, but I get the impression that Cissy also appreciates Valancy’s bluntness and sass. Ironically, the fact that the Stirlings so smothered and terrified Valancy probably contributed a great deal to the fact that no one courted her or asked to marry her. If she had been allowed to be anything other than meek and downtrodden, she might well have had a better social life and marital prospects, even if she’s not classically beautiful like Olive.
Unrelated side observation: Where did Valancy learn to cook? My understanding was that Mrs. Stirling did the cooking in their household. Did they actually trade off and take turns, or does Valancy just have a knack for it? Certainly she wouldn’t have learned to cook flavorful food at her mother’s house, so maybe she’s just good at it.
Second unrelated side observation: This is so far my vote for funniest line in the book: “ And I’m not going to have you tracking mud all over a floor I’ve just scrubbed. You must use the scraper whether you consign it to perdition or not.”

 best characterization lines from the crows—nina zenik
“She shoved one of the cakes from the cofee service into her mouth and mumbled, ‘What do you want, Kaz?’
‘You have crumbs on your cleavage.’ 
‘Don’t care,’ she said, taking another bite of cake. ‘So hungry.” 
Kaz shook his head, amused and impressed at how quickly Nina dropped the wise Grisha priestess act. She’d missed her true calling on the stage.”
such. an. underrated relationship. ik people love to talk about the lines where she bullies him for his hair but i love this crumbs on cleavage line AND the fact that kaz truly is impressed by her skills not as a grisha, but as a performer>>> danielle galligan mentioned she used that last sentence to characterize her own performance as nina which i also love. 
“‘Of course every time [the mark] pats his back pocket or the front of his coat, what is he doing? He’s telling every thief on the Stave exactly where he keeps his scrub.’
‘Saints, grumbled Nina. ‘I’ve probably done that.’ 
‘Everyone does,’ said Inej. 
Jesper lifted a brow. “Not everyone.” 
‘That’s only because you never have anything in your wallet,’ Nina shot back. 
‘Mean.’”
i adore her honesty and sass and everything about her honestly 
“Nina had wronged him, but she’d done it to protect her people. She’d hurt him, but she’d attempted everything in her power to make things right. She’d shown him in a thousand ways that she was honourable and strong and generous and very human, maybe more vividly human than anyone he’d ever known. And if she was, then Grisha weren’t inherently evil. They were like anyone else—full of potential to do great good, and also great harm. To ignore that would make Matthias the monster.” 
i LOVE this because nina from matthias’ pov is always the best and this quote says as much about him as it does about her. get yourself a girl who will change your mind from its deadset ways that you’ve been brainwashed into since birth.
“Matthias was already up, seeing to their weapons. Nina stretched and yawned, adding a little arch to her back, pleased at the way his gaze darted over her figure before guiltily jumping back to the rifle he was loading. Gratifying. She’d practically thrown herself at him the other day. If Matthias didn’t want to take advantage of the offer, she could make damn sure he regretted it.” 
i’ve read this book over ten times and just made solid eye contact with this line. i heard people spell girlboss like nina zenik. i also heard people were right. 
WARNING ⚠️ last quote is from the chapter 39 —skip to avoid spoilers or heartbreak 🚨🚨
“Nina screamed, a howl that tore from the black space where her heart had beat only moments before. She searched for his pulse, for the light and force that had been Matthias...She felt the river around her, the black waters of grief...
‘Come back,’ she demanded. He breathed. His eyelids fluttered and opened. His eyes shone black.” 
scarlet witch vibes anyone??!! what is grief, if not love persevering? her powers develop beautifully all the way into king of scars and rule of wolves. 
aaaand my favorite series is back :)) comment below any quotes i missed! 
kaz’s version | wylan’s version | jesper’s version | nina’s version | matthias’s version | inej’s version

Carlos Rodriguez for the ask!
Got A LOT of requests for my cutie, Carlos- so here you go everyone! :)
Favorite thing about them: His wit and sass. He literally had me in tears laughing throughout season 3 and there are so many times his sass just works in the scene. He’s an absolute diva and he knows it, but his bluntness with the characters keeps the drama moving along. I would give anything to have a girls night where Carlos and I wear face masks, eat chocolate, and discuss our friends relationships. You couldn’t tell me that wouldn’t be the best night ever.
Least favorite thing about them: His sass/diva persona is a double-edged sword. There are a lot of times he comes across harsh or selfish when he wants his way. Determination is a great thing, but putting your friends needs below it (like the co-choreographer debocal), will leave you lonely and sad. I know he has big dreams, but sometimes he puts his needs first at others expense and it can come across as egotistical. I think this is a root to a lot of the Seblos issues- Carlos only reads how he interprets situations as correct, rather than putting himself in the other person’s shoes.
Favorite line(s):
“Broadway?”
“Ah! I’ve been slapped!”
“It’s freaking Norway, Ricky”
It’s not a line, but his face in 1x08 when he’s rehearsing with EJ is ICONIC
“Ok but if it’s not about me, then who?”
“But does that mean you’re going to let the next girl go without even trying?”
“I’m gay and Mexican- this IS my inside voice!”
“You can’t just Zefron your way through auditions this time”
“I don’t think he’s slept or spoken in the past 24 hours… there’s a high chance he’s a Babadook”
“We’re doing the first read-through before I’ve had my third cup of coffee…. Oh, Ricky and Gina are 100% missing” (say it again louder Carlos this was so real of you)
“Because the key to any great reality show is the 3 B’s: bombshells, betrayals and BLEEP slaps” *gasps*
“I think I broke the children”
“Remember, Ricky, you have unresolved feelings for Gina”… “Gina, what’s your motivation?” Gina: I don’t want to get started “Yes, AND you’re angry at your boyfriend and using your ex-boyfriend to get under his skin. Basically, have fun torturing EJ” Gina: I can do that 😈
“Jilted ex suits you bro… oh no. I said ‘bro’ and now you’re gonna reveal something”
-bonus: “Sorry. I’m adjusting to being called ‘bro’”
“I didn’t come to make friends” “It cut me off! I said, ‘I didn’t come to make friends, I came to be a star!” Ricky: yeah, that’s not any better
OTP: Seblos ❤️
nOTP: EJ and Carlos
brOTP: Carlos and Ricky, Kourtney, and Miss Jenn… but if I had to pick one, probably Kourtney
Something I expect from them season 4 (if applicable): I think the situation of Carlos at camp is going to get confused by Seb of Carlos cheating again. I think Seb will think the relationship is over (“we were on a break!”… if you know what I’m quoting, you’re the best), so he will date someone else. This will parallel the r*ni fight in S1, which gets us the Seblos song.
Random Headcanon: even if this never happens in S4, it is my personal HC that as a thank you for s2, Carlos helps Ricky write a song for Gina.
Unpopular Opinion: I don’t even know if this actually is unpopular, but I could see it being that way so I am putting it here. His line to Gina about “look around, there’s not really a lot of me here” has bothered me since it happened. I think things like being from multiple minorities is really important to address in shows like this, so I’m glad it was brought up. However, I think his timing/tone for bringing it up was bad because it read more as “my problems are bigger than yours!” rather than, “hey I get what it feels like to be lonely and how important choreography makes me feel like I stand out/have purpose”. Instead Carlos seemed defensive and was like “I have problems too!” So this caused Gina to cower and let him lead the dance number. He didn’t even say thank you or try to encourage her to still help him, he just was like “ok great!” And seemed like he was happy he got his way. IDK I guess this goes back to my disliked trait for him, because Gina in that moment probably just needed a friend and somebody to show her she didn’t have to suffer alone, but instead Carlos flipped the situation back on him and it seemed guilt-trippy. I wish they would have brought up his struggles in a different context or had him use a different tone/dialogue in that scene that didn’t paint him like that, is all.
Song I associate with them: The King by Conan Gray, Hand on Mine Megan and Liz, and I know it’s from the show (I’m trying to avoid songs from the show for this ask) but since he doesn’t sing it I’ll use it. But I think of him every time I listen to Born to be Brave; his talk with Mozzarella Stick and him being lifted by the whole crowd is burned into my brain so I see it whenever I listen to that song
Favorite picture of them:

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💖
Thank you so much for sending me this ask, Stella! <3<3<3 Did you do a self-rec thing of your own? Pls link me if you did; I'd love to read it. I can't pick favorites of anything, so I'll just mention five fics I wrote that I like.
Unwell (Fandom: Bones (tv show))
Yup, the mighty Temperance Brennan was sick. Takes place after Season 3, Episode 4.
I love banter-y ships. I wrote this fic 15 (!!!) years ago, but I remember getting a kick out of mixing banter and silliness with deeper conversations. Booth even reads Brennan a short section from a romance novel. :D It's been a while since I wrote Unwell, but I think I wanted to follow some loose threads in Bones and explore the emotional ramifications; fic is such a great place to do that. He's a candle (burning in my room) (Fandom: MCU)
It's just sex, isn't it? (Some talking + a lot of feelings + a smidgen of smut = this fic.)
This is a Steve/Tony fic, and it means a lot to me; I think it always will. There's a splash of body image issues, a dash of pining while fucking, and a ton of emotional vulnerability that's tied up in the sex, the build-up, and the afterglow.
My only sibling killed himself in February 2018; my dad died less than five months later; I started writing this story around three months after my dad's death. Life was a huge struggle, and so was writing, but I tried really hard to get down words, and I pushed myself with the imagery and the feelings. some words build houses in your throat (Fandom: MCU)
The night before they travel back in time, Tony says what he needs to say.
Someone anonymously sent me a "stevetony + confession" prompt in response to a three-sentence fic meme here on tumblr. This fic was my attempt to fill their prompt. It's a sort of missing scenes fic for Endgame. I was hungry for a little bit of team feels. I wanted Steve and Tony to both use their words AND try to behave like adults. Adulthood is complicated. We don't always get everything we want. Not all of our dreams and wishes come true. I wanted to play with honesty/revelation but also with restraint. And I really, really wanted Steve and Tony to quote parts of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass to each other. So I wrote it. ;) I Barely Knew I Had Skin Before I Met You (Fandom: Timeless (tv show)
Sometimes love is found in unexpected combinations. Lucy wakes in the middle of the night to find one less man than there should be in her bed. [Set sometime in the future. Lucy, Garcia, and Wyatt are in a polyfidelitous relationship. Translation: the three of them are romantically involved and are faithful to each other. They also live together.]
As mentioned above, I have a weakness for banter. I wanted to write a story with a poly ship—Garcia Flynn/Lucy Preston/Wyatt Logan. I wanted banter, flirting, and domestic fluff, and I wanted discussions of grief and loss because I thought they made sense in the context of the show's canon. A few small scenes popped into my head, and I wrote toward and around them.
my life is for you (and no one other than you) (Fandom: Teen Wolf (tv show)
It’s a journey they began years before, but one they have to take again and again. Together. (Post-coital, slice-of-life fic. AKA sass and fluff.)
Courtesy of my Thiam phase in 2017, here we have Liam Dunbar and Theo Raeken as adults, being established-relationship ridiculous and sweet. Thanks again for the ask! *hugs*
