rather than who you would like to see on the next taskmaster series, who do you think will be on it? like just your predictions or any inklings you may have!
anon if you're still around then you'll know i really took my time with this hahaha so sorry! i hope anyone reading this takes it as just a bit of fun and nbd, who knows who we'll get or who alex & the network have in mind! i'm answering thoughtfully (bc i always feel guilty not to š© so sorry this is long lol) but it's really just fun!!
i will say, of the more recent-ish series, i did get a few right!!! krishnan guru-murthy, nicola coughlan, alan davies, judi love, sue perkins, john robins, and joanne mcnally were people i just knew would eventually be on if the show could get their schedules right, and i was also certain sarah millican and dara Ć³ briain would be asked ā though not necessarily that they'd actually agree. when you have a level of seniority and esteem, the "it's such a great opportunity" aspect of the show isn't such a draw š
for some reason i feel SO PROUD about guessing nicola! i was just WAITING and wish sooooo much she had done a full series ššš (how fun would saoirse-monica jackson be too!)
anyways, as for people who haven't been on yet ā and this isn't to say i want them all to be, just that i think it's likeliest they have been asked or will be asked; i talked about who i want to see a little while ago hereĀ ā it's important to consider the casting 'roles' the network has in mind when working with the producers to form a series, so i will keep that in mind too!
established comedian, typically a straight white man over 40: bill bailey, vic reeves, harry hill, geoff norcott, kevin bridges, adam buxton, ade edmondson (tommy tiernan? god i feel bad for not saying ed byrne but why do i feel like he's not gonna make it in the next few series? i'm on the fence with nick helm ā unless he's friends with alex, then his chances go up significantly imo ā and tom allen for some reason, and i feel like john bishop is almost too much of an ask?)
fresh talent comedian, typically a man under 40: rhys james, huge davies, ahir shah, darren harriott would be my top guesses but tbh any of the semi-recent edinburgh comedy award finalists are good bets as a majority of the winners from the last ~10 years have been on the series + throwing out tom rosenthal (i know he's not fresh fresh and also mostly an actor)...and, like, jazz emu?...just because if taskmaster know how much its audience adores weird little white twinks then they'll cast them
female or non-binary comedian: 100% sarah keyworth + harriet kemsley, maisie adam, jess fostekew, suzi ruffell. i've shifted away from betting on cariad lloyd and catherine bohart for some reason... (joanne was my no.1 lady bet for the last like 4 series hahaha)
non-comedian: this is very, very hard to predict because between comedy actors, non-comedy actors, tv presenters, news people, reality & social media stars... the potential predictions are just so endless! logically, the most likely is an established actor with a lot of comedy connections (think sally phillips, lolly adefope, liza tarbuck, sian gibson, daisy may cooper, susan wokoma; this category is where tm gets quite a few of its female contestants): matt holness, kevin eldon, amanda abbington, tom davis, sharon horgan, kathy burke, georgia tennant (also friends w alex?), su pollard, tom basden, apparently anyone from the cast of ghosts, and so on and so on and so on... + i'll also throw out maggie aderin-pocock as a serious contender + i really feel like one of the spice girls will be on new years treat
friend of alex: john robins was the prediction for the past few series, so just worth keeping in mind other people in this circle include elis james, matthew crosby, tom neenan, and so on
freebie answers because alex/greg have mentioned them before: jack dee, lorraine kelly, joanna lumley (i want jennifer saunders SO BAD give us an epic series w both ade and jen pleaseeee tm gods!!!!)
complete wild card bets that are either my instincts kicking in or my bias taking over: limmy, adam buxton, paddy mcguinness, diane morgan, daniel sloss, joel dommett, jess hynes, spencer jones??, alasdair beckett-king or josh pugh + if suzy izzard wasn't doing a big nyc show i'd say that's a good guess if only bc you know greg & alex grew up big fans
did i mention too many people?? if i had to put my money behind a single person it would be either ahir shah or sarah keyworth
these are almost all of my fr big heavy hitters when it comes to placing bets! but there are of course so many people i didn't name who i could totally see on either a main series or the ny treat ā so many people just make sense and that's the beauty of taskmaster!!

ā i think itās been a year and a half since i posted my last tutorial! with a few more requests (and me learning new things) i decided to make a new and updated tutorial š
ā this is a VERY image heavy tutorial and it is also very long! iāve put it under the cut <3 like there are OVER 50 images...this is more of a masterpost really. if there is something that does not make sense, feel free to ask!! i will more than happy to clarify!
ā i promise the header gif was once good quality but for some reason, i did something to it and it became weird. please ignore that š
the first step is to make the gif! iāll try to go through everything, step by step! there are different methods to make gifs but iāll only be explaining the method i use. but iāll link some incredible tutorials from other content creators later :DĀ
iāll be using photoshop. make sure you use a version of photoshop that allows you access to the timeline option! there was a weird update where the adobe timelines were not compatible with the m1 macbook chips so look out for that!
ā the first thing you need is an .mp4 video. i use the in-built screen recorder on a macbook (which you get by pressing command + shift + 5). i usually just record the section of the video that i need but some people use programs such as 4k video downloader (which also works very well but i stopped using it because i was worried that i was using too much data downloading longer videos!)Ā
ā iāll be using a clip of jeonghan from the hot music video! when you open photoshop, go to file > import > video frames to layers
ā this will open up your files and from there, you should select the video that you want to make a gif out of!
ā once you have selected the video, you will get a pop-up and it has a little trimmer (that iāve highlighted in the blue box!) that you can use to find preciselyĀ what you want to gif. the little triangle that iāve placed in the yellow box is like a slider than you can use to preview the video!
ānow your specific video clip will be opened as a bunch of layers and you want to press the small button (i am so sorry š i donāt know what itās called) and it will do something (which, even after three years of making gifs, i still donāt what its called) but just press it!! iāve highlighted it in the yellow box!!
ā then select allĀ the layers and right click and then convert to smart object. this will make it a lot easier for you to sharpen and colour your gif at a later stage.
ā if you still think your gif has unnecessary frames/scenes, use the small trimmers in the timeline to trim the gif even further!
ā now at this stage, your gif is technicallyĀ ready but the chances are that the gif is too large to be posted on tumblr. tumblr has a 10mb gif size limit (praying that they donāt go ahead with the bad updates) so we want to bring that gif size down into a gif that can be posted onto the dashboard.
ā go to image > image size! something very interesting that you can also do when resizing your gif is changing the resample settings (look at this post by @usergif here!)
ā now there are many sizes you can make your gif but if you want a recommended size for a single gif on the dashboard - check this out! the width should always be 540px but the height can vary!
ā now that your gif is ready (unsharpened and uncoloured - but this is just the base gif tutorial) we can now save the gif! go to file > export > save for web. donāt make the same mistake as me back in 2018 when i was trying to make lotr gifs but i kept clicking save as...and it would save as a still image.
ā saving settings can vary! but these are the ones i use and they usually work for me! make sure that your looping is set to foreverĀ otherwise your gif will play out and then stop :(
ā and this is our final gif! it has no sharpening or colouring but its a functioning gif on its own :D
ā i enjoy this part the most!! there are so many different ways that you can colour a gif and it is all up to personal preference! but this is first the basicĀ colouring on a gif. you should go to layer > new adjustment layer > curves.Ā
youāll see three eyedroppers on the side (black, grey and white)! weāre going to be using the black and white ones! when you click the blackĀ eyedropper, youāre going to click it onto the darkestĀ pixel in the gif. and then take the whiteĀ eyedropper and place it onto the whitest/lightest pixel in the gif! it makes a huge difference!
ā as you can see, the difference is immense. that cyan sort of washed tone has been lifted from the gif!
ā the gif on the left is a comparison of onlyĀ the curves layer against the original gif. the gif on the right includes some extra adjustments that may help your gif :D
the two little skin-tone rectangles compare jeonghanās skin tone without selective colour and then WITH selective colour (respectively). the rectangles near the bottom-right corner show just one example of how you can play and adjust hues with selective colour!
ā now iāll show an example of how this might with a more yellow/darker toned scenes. for some reason, so many shows love turning the brightness down on their scenes and its up to gifmakers to actually make the scenes visible š iāve taken a small clip of halime sultan from dirilis ertugrul!
ā i resized the gif but i have not added any adjustments yet to it!
ā i created a new curves layer and i took the black eyedropper, placing it on the darkest pixel i could find (a fold in her headdress) and this is how the gif looks now. arguably it looks worse but this is a necessary step for the final gif.
ā so now i took the whiteĀ eyedropper and placed it on the lightest pixel i could find. it was a reflection on the metal decor on the headdress. and it brightened the gif up quite a bit!! but here is where things can get interesting...
ā this is an alternative use of the whiteĀ eyedropper! in this case, i placed the dropper on the highlight reflection on her cheekbone (which was originally tinted a more blue with red on the edges) and this also brightened up the gif but it gave it a more green/yellow hue!!
this is important and something that is so useful for me because basically if your gif is too BLUE-hued, find the lightest blue-ish pixel but if it is too YELLOW-hued, then find the lightest yellow-ish pixel. you can easily manipulate the tones in the gif this way!
ā so on the left i have the final gif!! and on the right i have a comparison on how the lighting has improved so much from the original gif!
ā now i could go on forever about all the ways you can colour a gif but we would be here forever, and you would be scrolling forever so instead, i put together some colourings that you can download here!
ā cheers: it brings out the reds and orange and it turns greens into teals and blues!
ā selemzar: if youāve watched historical turkish dramas, especially ones with tribe/city sets you know that they love their yellow hues! this one gets rid of the yellow cast on a scene <3
ā httyd: a very basic psd that turns blues into greens and brings out skin tones!
ā up: i use this one very often (and named it after the mv in which i first made it). its a psd for bright and vibrant gif colourings that focuses on making the blue colours as bright as possible!Ā
ā iām gonna be honest...i am not a huge expert in this area and my knowledge of sharpening is limited to photoshopās own features. there are so many softwares and programs you can use to clean up a video and to make it smoother and sharper such as avisynth and topaz!
ā this is the sharpening i use the most nowadays! it has two layers of differing smart sharpens and then a layer of noise on top. it usually works well for me except noise increases the size of the gif a LOT so my gifs are never too long š
ā this is one that i used to use all the time. it gives a very glowy look to the edges and iāll use it if the video is lower quality as this sharpening covers up some of the weird pixel squares!
if you would like some more clean and comprehensive sharpenings, then take a look at these!
this tutorial by most beloved @woozi / this tutorial by @trashcora / this tutorial by @haleths / or this one from @hyunfelixĀ
ā another thing i like are matte gifs!! i havenāt made many of them but they are such a neat effect to add onto gifs - especially stage/live gifs! so here iāve made my base gif of heeseung and given it some base colouring (curves and selective colour)
ā now i saw this tip from another blog (an nct/wayv blog im so sure but i cannot remember the url for the LIFE of me) but what i remember is that you add a levelsĀ layer (and with the three numbers under the graph in order: itās 20 / 1 / 250 and then with the numbers next to output levels itās: 20 / 240) and then you add a solid fill colour of #2f2f2f and set it to screen and you get the results below!
āĀ often if youāre giffing a music video / a film / a show, there are people speaking and you want to add subtitles!! i like to use the font: arial rounded mt bold and then i open the character window and click on the bold and italic T <3
ā now we have the basic subtitles, but they are not as easy to read against jeonghan and seungkwan in the background so weāre going to right click on the text and go to blending optionsĀ and then you add a shadow behind it!
ā i personally find that subtitles look nicer with a stroke as well, so you can add a stroke (any size of your choosing) and set the position to outside.
ā and here we have subtitled gifs!!! if there is more than one person speaking, you can change the colour of the gifs and my go-to secondary colour is #fda700 :)
ā if you want to learn how to blur captions, i recommend this tutorial by @chanstopher
ā now that iāve gone through the basic tutorials for making gifs, letās take a look at some fun effects!!
a place that i really recommend learning these things from is @usergif as they have super cool tutorials and a directory as well that you can access here <3
ā if there is one thing i love...itās gradient backgrounds. and also this video of seventeen and thus i will show both in this next tutorial! iāve started off with this seokmin clip and iāll add some adjustments to it.
ā so now that iāve added curves, exposure, colour balance etc (all the basic adjustments) weāre ready to add the gradient!
ā go to layerĀ > new fill layerĀ > gradient!
ā a small pop-up comes up and click on the gradient (in this case that blue-transparent bar) and another pop-up will appear! here you can make your own gradient or choose a pre-set gradient (there are heaps of good options)
ā once youāre satisfied with the gradient, you can click OK and then set the gradient layer to hard light. you can play with different settings but this is the one that i prefer the most!
ā now convert the gradient to a smart object!
ā in the small yellow box, iāve highlighted the layer mask button and you should add one to your gradient layer! a layer mask will be useful because if you make a mistake later on, you can simply make another layer mask and start again! also bring out a soft brush (hardness set to 0%) and make sure the brush colour is BLACK. a black brush erases the layer mask and a white brush brings it back. use the brush and you can erase over the subject in the gif!
ā so now we have a seokmin-shaped hole in our gradient (if he is not a heartš§” why heart shaped?) but the edges (even with the 0% hardness) are still too sharp and we want to soften the gradient!
ā go to filter > blur > gaussian blur and play around with the blur settings till you find a gradient edge that satisfies you! you donāt want it to be so soft that the gradient ends up covering the subject again but not too hard either.
ā and this is our final gif!! the gradient background is really so versatile and it adds pops of colour to your gifs (and can be very useful in covering pesky pixel ugly-coloured backgrounds!)
ā another effect that i love so much is adding gradient text and pngs to gifs! i feel like they just make the gif so much more fun and interesting <3 so here iāve got a gif ready (its been coloured and resized) and i want to add text and an image onto it!
ā in any font you like, and any size you like, you can type out your text but make sure that the text is WHITE (otherwise you wonāt achieve the same gradient effect)
ā i love adding transparent pngs and a site i like to use is called nicepng.comĀ as theyāre free to use and they have a great selection of transparent images! i looked up an angel image (for beloved jeonghan ofc) and i downloaded one! i prefer images that have a thickerĀ outline as this helps the gradient appear more clearly!
ā i downloaded the png and placed it on the gif. but the original png was NOT white so i need to make it white. for that, i made a small white rectangle and placed it in a clipping mask over the angel wings and then merged the layers. then you can reposition the text and png to wherever you want them to sit in the image.
ā now weāve reached the gradient part! set the text to EXCLUSION (this will let your text have that see through property and if you donāt want it to look transparent, then you can keep it on normal). then go to BLENDING OPTIONS and go to gradient overlay. here you can select the gradient that you would like!
ā once youāve selected a gradient to your liking, click OK and then make sure that the blend mode of your gradient (in the gradient overlay box) is set to HARD LIGHT. in the previous step, if you did not change the white text to Exclusion, then you can keep the gradient blend mode on normal. i also like to add a shadow on my text as it helps it stand out a bit more!
ā so i did the exact same process to the angel png (exclusion > blending options > gradient on hard light) and there we have our final gif! its such a versatile and fun effect that can liven up your gifs!!
there are countless more effects and tricks and tutorials that you can use to make your gifs but we would be here for another fifty years so i will add some links below of some incredible tutorials that i often refer back to!Ā
if there was anything that i said above that didnāt make sense (because after a while, my brain turned to mush), you can always come and ask for clarification :D
colour isolation tutorial by @simoneashly
my own tutorial on blending over @kgifsourceĀ
an amazing guide on colouring those heavily yellow tinted scenes by @nobodynocrime as well as this amazing glitch effect tutorial!
the tutorials from which i learnt blending gifs together are these two: this one by @jackarthurdavenport and this one by @yenvengerberg
a guide on vapoursynth and colouring by one of my favs @wonublrā
and this comprehensive guide on gif making in general by @soonhoonsolā <3

Sooo.... there's no way I could ever resist submitting a request in one of your events. +_+ Been hurrying to get up from bed for this, I hope I'll still catch a slot :D so excited you're doing this!!!!
Can I please have some mangos and strawberries, with a Mai Tai (Ace)? <3 I'd love to listen to any combination of the songs #3, #9, #39, #43 (sorry, but this SCREAMS of Ace; also any variant of it, like talking to a 3rd person about it), #38 (couldn't resist the combination).
OMG. It's soooo hard to choose....! There's so many combi-ideas! +_+ I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for doing this event! :D
omg hiiii š„°ļø that pic is killing me šš lmaooo *shakes u* so i rewrote this like 10x i think, but itās finally done and i am v excited for you to read it. also iām so happy you requested, you always pick good prompts lmao anyway, ty for being patient š as u know iām slow as hell when it comes to writing ā also the fluff almost killed me!!!! š
3.5k words (pls pls i know i know!!!! it's not my fault, i blame ace), fem reader, nsfw, 18+ mdni; fluff (it's there i promise, somewhere) & smut (and angst that u didn't ask for <3); modern au! feat. ace being a menace as usual, reader in denial (serious serious denial) of her feelings, reader's a lil shyyy ok, public sex, (slight) public exhibition, public sex, choking, rough sex, hand job, oral (m receiving), ace being shirtless is a warning, childhood frenz 2 lovers (who am i), mutual pining, reader is foolish & needs to be honest, ace needs to calm down but he never will. idk! probably more stuff idr yk the vibes.
(if u see spelling errors/grammar mistakes, no u didn't bb š)
a warm breeze wraps itself around your arms and legs, languid and loving ā a heavy embrace that unjustly suffocates, with a light sheen of sweat that belatedly appears on your forehead. your denim shorts ride up higher on your thighs the more you move around; for some reason, you just canāt seem to get comfortable. loud music wafts from your parentsā house through the open sliding doors, the beats catchy and mesmerizing, lulling you into a much more relaxed state as you continue to lounge on the hammock in the backyard. another breeze glides along your skin, making you roll over onto your back, the rope from the hammock rough but comforting.
to keep yourself from spiraling, you close your eyes and soak up as much of the sun as possible. your lips are a little red and sticky from the popsicle you ate just a few minutes ago; it helped to cool you down for a bit, but the heat is relentless and oppressive.
after graduating from college, you left home and traveled for a few years; youāve always had that itch, a desire to roam about freely without having anything ā or anyone ā tying you down. itās why you left so quickly; itās why you didnāt say goodbye properly; and itās why youāve been on edge all afternoon.
you groan loudly before covering your face with your hands.
āthis is so stupid.ā your words are muffled and strained, your frustration rising along with the temperature outside. itās simple ā all you have to do is casually strike up conversation with him and act like nothingās changed.
so easy, right?
you desperately want it to be, but the universe has a penchant for bad jokes and the punch line is currently on its way to disrupt your life.
āhe probably wonāt even come by anyway,ā you continue to mumble before dropping your hands. a frown climbs onto your lips afterwards. the idea that your parents might actually be wrong, that he isnāt going to come by like he promised he would, is all too much for you to deal with.
and suddenly, you feel like you canāt breathe; the air grows thick enough to choke on, an obnoxious thudding growing louder and louder in your earsā
but before you can succumb to your unfortunate demise, someone pinches your nose, disrupting the chaotic flow of thoughts pummeling into you one right after the other. squirming around, you stare, wide-eyed, at the last person you thought youād see today.
despite pressing his lips together, it does nothing to stop him from laughing at you ā not maliciously, but he really canāt help it. your look of genuine shock and confusion is cute. really, really cute. adorable, even. maybe itās because he hasnāt seen you in so long, or maybe itās because heās been waiting for a moment like this to pop up so you both can finally have that one conversation you keep running away from.
you are wholly unprepared to see ace this soon; words rush from the pit of your stomach up to your mouth, ready to fling aceās way without restraint. but, as always, you hold back. youāve gotten quite good at biting your tongue, at stamping out certain emotions; itās better, easier that way.
no one gets hurt, right?
right.
with a sly smile, ace slides his sunglasses away from his face, upwards onto his hair; you were in such a daze that you barely heard him walk over. which worked out fine for ace, because he could look at you freely without you hiding from him like you usually do ā a thing he hopes youāve grown out of in the time youāve spent apart.
if you thought you couldnāt breathe before, youāre definitely gasping for air now. lips parted, you inhale deeply as a completely different kind of heat surges through you faster than youād like. he pauses for a moment before gently swiping his thumb along your plush bottom lip.
an insidious thudding echoes loudly around your ears, and you realize, in fear, that itās the sound of your heart ā beating erratically at his proximity and touch. talking feels impossible, so you remain silent and stare at him in disbelief.
it feels like an eternity passes before ace smiles again, your eyes track the way his lips slowly curve upward, bringing about that familiar dimple in his right cheek. something possesses you to reach up to touch his cheek, the tips of your fingers barely grazing his skin when you realize what youāre doing. you snatch your hand back quickly, a light-headedness descending upon you right after.
on impulse, ace leans down until his lips ghost over yours, the familiarity of the gesture triggering a memory so strong that goosebumps unceremoniously prickle your skin without remorse. you remember exactly how skillful his mouth is; you remember how your limbs were tangled with his; and you remember how you almost blurted out a hidden truth that you refused to admit to. heād gone still, nearly statuesque as an unreadable look morphed onto his face; fear of rejection had you scrambling away from his embrace, nearly out of breath as you darted out of his bedroom without looking back.
remorse finds its way to you again, but your thoughts are too scattered to properly feel it. if you donāt figure something out soon, youāll give in to him all over again ā and you simply canāt do that.
however, ace has a way of diverting your plans with his whims and spontaneity.
āhey, pretty,ā he says, voice low and husky, with a hint of that mischievous and boyish charm heās well-known for; his hand on your hip is practically scalding, his thumb coasting dangerously on your soft stomach, but you donāt push him away. a soft whimper dares to slip out of your mouth when his grip tightens and youāre so sure that heās going to kiss you ā but he doesnāt.
ace straightens up and sticks his hands into his pockets, all innocent-like, completely disregarding the fact that heās the reason why your heart is beating loud enough to rattle your bones. his cologne lingers ā a rich and heavy, spiced scent with hints of blackberry ā and you get drunk from it, mind a little hazy. youāre in too much shock to feel any sort of shame, and if he wasnāt so intent on teasing you for a bit longer, he wouldāve already succumbed to the temptation of kissing you.
he really just meant to say hi, but you were being cute while talking out loud to yourself, your voice traveling further than you probably wanted; it was the sight of your exposed legs ā curvy and soft, skin glistening almost flawlessly under the sun ā that really fueled his audacity. since youāre prone to running, he did the only thing that made sense: invade your personal space. itās the only way to keep you still long enough to talk.
or, so he thought.
āw-what are you doing here?ā you ask in a panic, moving around on the hammock, eyes widening again as you shamelessly stare at his chest. he still has that peculiar habit of walking around shirtless, which is your justification for why you keep looking at him like that ā his abs look more defined than before, but you refrain from touching him again.
ace completely ignores your question and instead says, āyouāre hot.ā he tilts his head a bit, that sly grin finding its way onto his lips again when you stumble over your words.
āiāwhat?ā
you sit up and climb off the hammock with clumsy and hurried movements. thankfully he has the decency to not laugh this time, but that pesky dimple resurfaces, and you have to ball your hands into fists and sink your nails into your palms to keep yourself from saying something unnecessary and embarrassing.
āwhy are youāā you cut yourself off, take a deep breath, and try again, āi donāt understand.ā
is he joking? he has to be, thereās no way heās forgiven you for leaving him like that; and even though he called you pretty earlier, youāre sure thatās just his way of wanting to rile you up for his own amusement.
and while youāre not entirely wrong about that, he was being serious.
he lifts his chin and motions to your chest; sweat glides down your neck and sneaks in between your cleavage. you realize, then, that he meant that you literally looked hot. pressing your lips together firmly, you decide against speaking and opt to march past him instead. you donāt get far, if anything ace only allows you to move a few feet away before wrapping a strong arm around your waist and pulling you back.
your mouth dries and you try to wiggle out of his grasp, but he doesnāt let up.
āyouāre hurting my feelings, yāknow,ā he says quietly, his lips grazing the shell of your ear. you bite your lower lip before rolling it in between your teeth, contemplating his words. you know youāre being ridiculous, and you know you owe him an explanation ā your cowardice nearly wins out, but you settle down and sigh softly.
āyouāre right, iām sorry.ā for so many things, but you keep that bit to yourself.
ace only laughs again at your austere demeanor. ājust kidding, i just want to be selfish right now.ā something about that sets your skin on fire, although it probably doesnāt help that ace places a kiss on the side of your neck before you can respond to him properly.
suddenly, all that fight that you had ā that determination to avoid him completely ā leaves your body. on a sharp inhale you turn around and look up at him curiously, to see if heās actually being serious or not; ace stares at you intently, adoration saturated in lust clouding his vision. he holds onto the back of your neck and kisses you, his tongue playfully licking your bottom lip, grinning at how sweet you taste.
you shiver and open your mouth for him as he kisses you again, slow and sensuous, your legs nearly giving out from the intensity. his hand travels down your back, its descent searing and playful; you kiss him back with fervor and enthusiasm, lips moving against his as if this is a common occurrence for you two.
his tongue swirls around yours and when his large hand moves lower to grab your ass, you nearly lose your mind. thereās an intense, unavoidable ache in between your thighs as you cling onto him desperately, whimpering softly against his lips. he told himself heād take it slow, but the way youāre reacting to him only confirms what heās always known: you want him just as much as he wants you.
itās in between heated tongue kisses that ace suggests a change in location. dazed and slightly confused, you feel yourself nodding as he tugs you along with him, anticipation making you stumble over your sandaled feet. he has half a mind to just carry you back inside, but you eventually keep up with his long strides. you hide behind ace when your parents step outside, boisterously chatting with a few of their guests as they sit at the table on the deck underneath the large awning. youāre glad they barely take notice of you ā theyāre halfway drunk already ā and ace laughs at your demure behavior, prompting you to pinch his arm playfully and shushing him. itās your feeble attempt at sneaking by without anyone interrogating you.
when you successfully make it back into your house, you let out a sigh, embracing the cool air.
āthat was close,ā you say out loud and at aceās puzzled expression, you motion to your parents outside, āthey almost saw us.ā
he blinks slowly and lifts a brow. āso?ā ace has never been one to hide like that, so heās unsure why you want to.
āwhat do you mean āsoā?ā your face burns as soon as the words leave your mouth; youāre not sure why youāre feeling bashful, but it becomes harder and harder to look at ace. maybe itās because youāre so aroused that youād let him fuck you in the kitchen without complaint, or maybe itās because you canāt come to terms with your feelings for him.
or, maybe itās a combination of both.
either way, ace doesnāt know why you care.
sighing loudly he walks out of the kitchen, fully expecting you to follow ā and you do. youāre unsure if youāve said the wrong thing; actually, you know youāve said the wrong thing, but before you can apologize, ace pushes you against the wall, hands placed on either side of your head as he cages you in.
āwho cares if anyone sees?ā
heās right, you know that; it doesnāt make it any less embarrassing. but when he presses places a kiss on your neck, you melt ā heart beating faster than necessary, making you dizzy with want. you place your hands on his chest, his muscles firm under your soft touch; ace inhales sharply when you bring your hands lower, his cock stiff and heavy in his shorts, an irritating reminder that his self-restraint is dissipating quickly.
later on, when you reflect on this moment, youāll chastise yourself about how impulsive you both were ā fucking in your hallway while your parents entertain guests not even forty feet away ā but for now, you just want to indulge in the fantasy and not think about anything.
ace grabs your wrist clumsily, suddenly remembering himself while halting your movements. you blink at him, confused and anxious; maybe he changed his mind about everything? maybe this was payback for the last time you were together ā and, if youāre honest, you canāt exactly blame him. swallowing hard, you relax your face and opt for a more neutral expression.
normally much more forthcoming with his wants and desires, ace hesitates, momentarily, dark brows furrowed as a frown settles onto his lips.
āmaybe we shouldnātā¦,ā he closes his eyes and presses his forehead against yours, inhaling deeply, your perfume immobilizing him temporarily before he speaks again. āyou deserve better than me.ā
you sit with his words for a moment but itās not long before your hands work at tugging his shorts and underwear down. he looks at you, light brown cheeks flushed slightly when he notices the way youāre staring. you knew he was big, but goodness ā still, you donāt let that deter you, and wrap a hand around his cock and slowly stroke it. ace lets out a quiet groan and it encourages you to move your hand faster.
with a soft peck on his lips, you say, āthatās not for you to decide.ā which is all youāll say on the matter. your feelings for him were too big for you to handle before, but now ā now that youāve been forced to confront your own damn self, a belated sense of clarity falls over you. it was never easy to convey your feelings into words when it came to him, but youāre very sure that heāll understand you now.
aceās hips jut forward when your grip around his cock tightens; he lets out a low hiss, doing his best not to be too loud since youāre so adamant about not getting caught. pre-cum spills from his slit, down onto your hand; a fascinating sight that has you sinking to your knees without much thought and replacing your hand with your mouth.
at that he moans much louder than he means to, but once your plush lips wrap around the thick head of his cock, he stops caring.
āfuck,ā he breathes, leaning against the wall for support as you flick your tongue against his slit ā a dangerous move, but one that you make with the full confidence that ace would, in turn, fuck you like youāve always wanted him to.
you run your tongue down his length with gusto, as if his cock was an addictive summer treat. and, maybe it is, because you open your mouth and bob up and down his length. you use your hands for what you canāt fit in your mouth, moaning around him as you press your thighs together. your mouth is sinfully warm and wet ā forbidden, almost; he grabs a fistful of your hair, holding you steady as he thrusts his hips forward.
holding onto his thighs, you slacken your jaw and keep your tongue flat, arousal building as he fucks your mouth. he knows he should be gentle, but heās reached his limit and youāre being so compliant ā he canāt really help himself. not that you mind, your panties are already damp from your slick arousal; his movements are rushed and purposeful, but you enjoy the way heās seemingly lost control of himself.
you gag around him, breathe deeply through your nose, and ignore the tears that spill down your round cheeks. ace moans your name and your heart expands pitifully in your chest, warmth traveling all along your body. he knows heāll never last if he keeps this up, so he pulls out of you without warning. you nearly fall over but you hold onto him, looking up at him curiously, long lashes tantalizing and mesmerizing as your tears start to dry.
he pulls you up to your feet and kisses you again with a hand wrapped around your throat; he gives it a teasing squeeze and you moan against his lips. it doesnāt take long before you unbutton your shorts and pull them down with your panties ā your thighs trembling with each passing second. you wrap your legs around him possessively when he picks you up; the kisses grow more urgent and sloppier, your heart threatening to kill you mercilessly with how hard its beating.
this must be what dying feels like, you tell yourself, although when he rubs the tip of his cock in between your slick folds, you buck your hips forward and beg him to stop teasing you.
since heās not that cruel, ace lines the head of his cock with your entrance and inches forward; sucking in a bit of air, you hold onto him tightly, and when you relax, ace thrusts into you. the moan you let out is absolutely indecent, your pussy a lewd, greedy thing that swallows his cock without much issue. with long strokes, ace knocks his hips against yours, a strangled cry slipping out of you unexpectedly. ace kisses you again and again ā an attempt to keep you quiet ā but soon, his strokes get shorter and frenzied as he fucks you harder, almost like he wants to incapacitate you with an orgasm.
you wouldnāt mind going out like that, especially when ace is fucking you like that, balls slapping against your ass loudly, mouth hungrily searching for his while you harshly drag your nails down the back of his neck. he doesnāt mind as the pain is minimal, and he likes the idea of you marking him the way heās marked you.
it becomes increasingly difficult to keep quiet, but youāve long forgotten why you needed to keep quiet in the first place. your saving grace is that your parents and their friends are more intoxicated than you originally thought and are in their own world as they laugh and dance outside. somewhere down the line, you lost your common sense ā you suppose it happened when ace came to find you earlier ā and because of that, you let go. your cunt squeezes around him tightly, your arousal coating the length of him; ace angles his hips and his cock reaches a spot thatās deep enough to make you babble at him incoherently.
he laughs and drops a playful kiss on your lips, his hands gripping your ass as he powers into you. a flash of white robs you of your vision, a liquid heat swirling around your lower abdomen as you cum hard with his name in your mouth. hips rolling forward, he bites your neck recklessly and your orgasm intensifies.
āoh, fuck, fuck, fuck. yes!ā you chant without restraint, throat hoarse, voice raw. he breathes unevenly, thrusting feverishly into your puffy pussy, his own orgasm finding him shortly after.
ace groans as he presses open-mouthed kisses down your throat, your whines saccharine and enticing; there are so many things he wants (and needs) to say, but he pushes that aside, deciding to enjoy this moment with you instead. you pant lightly and hold onto him, heartbeat slowing until it matches his. you should probably hurry up and get dressed, since thereās no telling when someone will come through that hallway, but you canāt be bothered right now. youāre much more interested in the way ace kisses you again, leaving you breathless and terribly in love.
if you were privy to his thoughts, youād know that he feels the same way and has felt that way for a long, long time ā and sometimes he feels like he loves you a little too much. still, you feel much lighter now, sighing softly as you arch against him; the intimacy of it, surprisingly, doesnāt scare you, and now you wonder if maybe you were thinking too much about everything before. it seems that your problem has always had a simple solution, but youāre just glad that ace pushed you to figure it out. it isnāt something youād normally do, but for ace you have a tendency to think and act impulsively without warning; he likes that side of you, and hopes that youāll keep acting like that in the future.

āBaby, look how nice this is!ā
As university students on a budget, most of the furniture thatād soon end up in your new apartment would either be thrifted or bought second-hand, realistically speaking. However, a trip to IKEA is almost customary during the moving-in process, even if you walk out with more frozen bags of meatballs and fake plants than actual furniture.
Your eyes roam over the showroom your boyfriend of two years just tugged you into. While the walls are a simple shade of cream, the mint green couch and patterned cushions add a nice pop of colour. Youāve always preferred a homey look over something too sleek or monochromatic.
āIt is nice,ā you agree, letting Chan pull you down with him to sit on the couch, his fingers interlaced with your own as his thumb traces patterns on your skin, āit feels very cosy.ā
āAnd look at this bookshelf, itās huge! We can put a ton of books here!ā
āChan,ā you laugh, āI donāt think the two of us collectively own more than ten books.ā
His bottom lip juts out as he pouts at you, reminding you all too much of a sad puppy that just got scolded for being too energetic. You want to kiss him. āI donāt think weāre that bad! We have the cookbook we bought together, and the novel Wonwoo got me for my birthday, and we have a few from homeā¦ā
His voice trails off in uncertainty, and after a beat of silence he speaks again, āNevermind, youāre probably right, and our living room is definitely not this big.ā
Your hand slips out of his to pat his knee, and you smile at him reassuringly. āItās okay, this is just our first one. Weāll have room for something like this in our next place, or the one after that.ā It might seem a little too early to think so far ahead when you havenāt even officially moved into your first apartment together, but you know your future is with Chan, and thatās really all that matters.
Besides, you enjoy the warm, fuzzy feeling you get every time you think about reaching more of these little life milestones with him.
Beaming at your words, he leans his head on your shoulder with a hum. āThat sounds nice,ā he murmurs, voice wistful, āweāll work our way up.ā
āWeāll work our way up,ā you echo, your hand finding his again. āTogether.ā
Thereās a twinkle in his eyes when he pulls away to look at you, nothing but pure adoration swirling in his irises as his gaze flits down to your lips. You meet him halfway, closing the distance between you for what you think will be a sweet peck, but your heart quite nearly leaps out of your chest when he wraps an arm around you to hold you close. His tongue swipes across your lower lip.
āChan! Weāre in public!ā you hiss, pulling back as your cheeks prickle with heat.
He blinks innocently, fighting the grin thatās making its way onto his face. āWhat? I canāt kiss you in public now?ā
Stop pouting at me, thatās not fair. āY-You can, but not like thatā¦ā
āLike what?ā
You hop off the couch with a huff. āYouāre impossible.ā
It only takes him less than three seconds to catch up to you. āImpossibly charming, you meant,ā Chan corrects, reaching down to hold your hand.
Well, heās not wrong.

BROOO u were literally probably the first author whose fic i read when i first searched up leon smuts last year š ur works r so good n idk if u'll see this but it's nice to hear abt ur perspective, i feel like fics abt leon these days r so fucked up and scary, it reminds me of when i first read a fic of yours and it was nothing but normal and hot? i just mean it's like, what fanfiction should be, how smuts should be, just p in v and stuff without all that crazy shit, it sucks to see writers these days waste their talent on writing dead dove fics that are so horrendous that it really affected me mentally
helloo!! (im not dead mueheaheah)
WARNING : Mentions of dead dove content and the likes of its themes!
before i talk : [HIIIIII HEHAHEH thank you for your support!! i'm glad you liked my (very subpar) work! now that i look back on it those themes did enter a somewhat gray line at some point because i lacked a lot of experience in writing. i do not condone ever letting your professor have sex with you nor do i promote any kind of hate-motivated sex, or dubcon! it was merely a bold attempt of expressing hormones (if you know š) like a lot of people my age commonly do and so i had (and still have to) reedit the tropes in my work a bit, also because i turned 18 now and i wanna readjust my boundaries! i hope you dont mind. regardless, i love that you like those themes. very good! love you!! /p]
anyway, leaning more towards the topic at hand. i don't doubt that your opinion is much different than a large part of the community under this tag. which is a very, very good thing! i'm pretty sure it was ever since @/gilfhub's posts started to quickly rise in the top pages that lead a lot of users to be influenced and begin to tear down a very, very important boundary. i'm very sorry to hear that being exposed to that affected you mentally, that's the entire reason why i absolutely abhor blogs that post and enable that content. you're not alone on that either <3
and i agree! people should ALWAYS write boundaries in mind.
i've lurked around the tag a lot and noticed a lot of "popular" writers who also have an alternative blog for dark content (this isn't just a specific account, there are a lot of these.)
warnings don't make things better, they don't fend witnesses away, and it doesn't make you any less insensitive. "dead dove content" itself (which is really just incestual/horribly taboo sexual assault fantasies, no need to sanitize it) should always be suppressed and private (or, well, NOT WRITTEN AT ALL). the moment you put it up on any kind of digital page, you are attracting ANY kind of viewer and none of that shit is cute, i'm sorry. projecting your trauma onto a character is one thing but writing them as someone who skips the morality line is just straight up trying to exercise your power through the wrong means. just as much as you have the power to express yourself, you also have the power to make someone very uncomfortable.
people don't think about these situations in the long run, that's why. they seem to really like using the "leon is just a character, i promise he won't care" argument which i also think is total bullshit cause this isn't even about leon, it just entirely reflects what your true values really are. they centralize around the need to express yourself at the expense of other people's comfort (because, for the nth time, it's a public space with an unpredictable demographic yet people seem to really like just doing the "bare minimum" on their part). whilst your perception of a traumatic experience may be valid, it doesn't give you any excuse. this is far from the idea of free individualistic expression, it is just as bad as some 4channer posting about wanting similar situations be inflicted onto them with even real, sentient people. because we all know why these themes allow themselves to be exposed to the audience and that's because it tries to appeal to a very specific group of people (which is very disgusting.)
they want to be so condescending, too. like "oh grow up, i'm all under ur skin and for what." it's blatant ignorance, you're not very smart!
and finally as ironic as it is, porn is to blame for enabling a lot of similar themes. it's so obvious, too, a lot of fictions like the ones you mentioned that are dead dove always have to mention pornography titles in it. (honestly doesn't have to be dead dove either). sanitization can be done in MANY ways, and a lot of the times I notice it's through the way of romanticizing or aestheticizing it. I'm talking about those who put up mini pinterest-board headers of like three whatevercore images and then putting lyrics at the bottom of it. it's like an attempt at writing a very bad fucking movie not gonna lie. for example, they end up trying to decorate their post with elements that fall under anything curated aesthetic. and guess what? we've all been there but NOT for writing about uncle!character and their kid reader thats just flat out WEIRD. trust me you are NOT anais nin, you do not have to write lyrical prose and try to beautify something that will always be ugly and demented to its very core. you cannot call dead dove content "artistic vents", either.
i also think i can understand that some people are victims who have failed to get help thus they try to cope through other means. but i will never applause someone for making the right choices. i think there's no excuse behind writing dead dove content other than to self mutilate your mental health in the long run for a temporary moment of "safe fun", and not even knowing that it is also in/directly harming the public eye.
it's rotten. it's disgusting. dead dove writers should not be welcomed in any fictional writing space. i've been triggered over and over again and it made me put off writing and reading for a very long time. i've experienced something similar before and i have gone crazy over it, and trust me, the things these people write so "generously" for their viewers are NOTHING but toxic waste.
tumblr is NOT your space, but everyone has a space in tumblr, so be conscious of yours.
i also encourage people to not stay silent on the matters if they want to speak up on it but are afraid of getting backlash. i've seen people delete their accounts over it (which, i guess is good on them since then they won't have to confront this kind of space anymore).

Horrid Horrid Day of the kind so rarely experienced trying to treat it as a dubious comedic blessing and also remember itās cool to experience stuff even stuff that sucks and makes you (?) feel bad (probably???) freeverse insanity monologue to my own blog so I donāt commit a homicide
most of it death by 1000 papercuts sort of things besides like 3-5 big Actual Genuinely Bad Comically Ridiculous Chaotic Events (middle of the night hotel eviction and subsequent 35 mile relocation to a Diff Hotel for my parents due to the City Of [Redacted] abruptly buying out the rooms (?!) for the one they were in for some sort of emergency housing thing?? (this is real and really happened)) but after 12.5 hrs and then well 999 other things that happened mostly to Me etc.š„š„š„šØšØšØš„š„š„šØš„šØššØšØšØš„š„š„š„ godddd complicated relationship w parents aside it is so much to be Completely On and doing the Team Emotional Management the whole time whyyy am I the only grownupā¦ canāt be tired or a little annoyed at being subject to last minute undiscussed demands on my time or even Drop The Cheerful Facade Of Bland Enthusiasm For A Second because Iām Ruining Things For Everyone. but also Iāve got 1 week break between semesters formally and I would like to: Sleep In + Get Meaningful Rest. please. Big ideal day plan wld be to sleep for 12-15 hrs read in bed for a few more go for a little run eat some oatmeal lay around watch movie without thinking about annnnyyything important all day. Is That So Much To Ask. Is This An Unreasonable Demand .
Well anyway Iām being soo dramatic and everythingās really pretty much fine. I cn recognize itās nice that people went out of their way to make a trip here + want to spend a lot of time together itās just that due to the Aforementioned Complicated Relationship the Spending Time Together is like. Well u know how wild boars when you stab them you have to have a special Boar Spear with a cross-bar because otherwise they will just keep running up your spear while impaled to Get You, The Spearholder? Well thatās what my relationship w my parents is like in this particular year. Getting stabbed and it sucksss but unfortunately there is the sense that if one keeps going thru the Horrid Feelings there may be some degree of satisfaction (easier or realer relationship? emotional connection? satisfaction of knowing I Tried My Best?) at the other endā¦ but it has to be me (wild boar in this metaphor) doing alll of the work and experiencing the majority of the discomfort in pursuit of unclear endsā¦ ahhhhhh sigh. good reminder I guess that I just still react weird and with maybe a greater than warranted degree of emotional sensitivity to extended intentional infringements on my space + autonomy that donāt take into account that Iām a person with opinions and an inner life and also I Slept Bad and several other problems so Iām much less patient than usual today. condensed: Iām At My Freakin Limit Dot JPEG rn. anyway. ouuughhh. home now going to run a bath (insane. who does that) turn off lights and just sit there in hot water for a while stewing (ha) until I feel less tense + tired (Big Win: reasonably tense + tired ā depressedā¦) maybe light a candle also. I wld bring a book into this if I didnāt know for a certainty Iād drop it in the water immmmmediately and the lathe of heaven doesnt deserve that from me. fuuuck. This probably makes me look insaaaane donāt read this. Or do whatever its my blog though sorry if u followed for fic and are just getting extended musings on my inner mental life + to do lists. In My Defense thereās a read more and if u see this You Clicked It And So Gave Ur Viewing Consent. In conclusion šØāš©āš§ššØššššš¤·āāļøšā”ļøššÆļøšš

Creator reader who is Aether and Lumineās big sibling or parent? They come to check on Teyvat after not finding their siblings in various other worlds they made and are not happy with the sustainer of heavenly principles.
So they grab the traveler while also adopting Paimon, then go straight to the Abyss and get the abyss twin and say ātime to go fix this MESSā
so then they go find Dain and say āthese are my siblings/kids Iām sorry for whatever trouble they may cause because theyāre clever and resourceful. Anyways if you could babysit them Iād love that just call my name if you need anythingā they of course tell him their name and stuff
then go off to get all of the archons and go tear Celestia a new one because of how many lives they ruined.
So they topple Celestia and take over so they can make things genuinely better for Teyvat and the abyss alike.
At this point Dain has had to deal with the twins and Paimon for about half a day when reader comes back and says āthanks for babysitting, I know it was sudden but Iām also doing stuff to fix the last 5 centuriesā
So then Dain now has a family again because reader decides to say āscrew itā and let their simping get the better of them
This is so long Iām sorry I just want it to be organized š
Ok, first ,every religion has a "Creation of the universe in the way that we see it", and many of them begin with a couple. From them , Creator, Aether, and Lumine started to exist (Creator as the creator of everything, and the twins as the stars).
Now, in this scenario, the Creator is a pretty chill God. They aren't even intimidating or anything, they just like to create, make new stuff, and OOOOH they love humans! What a masterpiece they could have achieved! Now, their relationship with the twins is a simple one. They care for each other and, since they are still too young to become full gods, the Creator gives them the full freedom that they could have, letting them explore various worlds, see more people, and have fun, as long as they don't create any trouble, of course.
Lumine: Y/N! We found a new and funny world!
Y/N: Is that so? So, how was it?
Aether: It was colorfull! With a lot of life! And there was this strange creature, similar to a ball, that ate stuff and took its power from that thing!
Y/N:...What?
So, at some point, the Creator decides to have fun like their siblings and explore a little. A more than well-earned vacation! I mean, they make up all of Teyvat. They are exhausted! They don't exactly give all power to the Archons, just enough to not let things slip, and to make sure that, if things go bad, they can tell the sustainer of heavenly principles...Because they are the only one that can contact them.
And that was a terrible idea.
When the Creator got back (imagine in the same way as Merlin in the Disney movie, dress up just like him), they found out that their siblings were gone. For the same reason that there was an Archon war and many of them were gone, there was a huge cataclysm and many nations that they likee were RIPPED OFF from Teyvat.
Y/N: I 'literally' left for a few years! What happened?!*
Zhongli:..Well, you better sit down for this... it can be quite overwhelming.
Venti: In our defends... we tried.
Y/N: Who the hell are you?
Zhongli: It's the Anemo Archon, your grace, Barbatos.
Y/N: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER?
Zhongli:..As I was saying, you may sit for this one.
Did you ever leave a blog with a few people and come back to find that everything you had done had to be redone? Yeah, that's the feeling.Ā
The first thing you do is take back your sibling, the traveler. It's not a problem; they are the ones that came back first to you. The abyss one is quite problematic, but it's not like you can't try to do something right and resolve what the other gods have made. Not to mention that, when you left, you noticed this nation that prospered without the aid of a divine power, and you were quite optimistic and interested in their work! So yeah, you are quite pissed.Ā
Once you found out the last of the fallen kingdom, you humbly apologized and promised to do the right thing. Imagine the faces of Dain and Kaeiya. They knew that the gods are strange, but you are quite the subject!
Y/N: Okay, I'm going to deal with the susteiner and stuff. Still, I know I can't bring back all of the kingdom. But at least I can reverse the curse that was imposed on your people.
Dainsleif:I'ts..already enough, you gr-
Y/N: You can just call me Y/N. And don't thank me, this is the least thing i can do for your people.
After having dealt with all of this stuff, it's time to deal with the seven (the Archons are cool, but you need to speak to them about some of their behaviour) and the other gods that still live in Celestia (that is technically your house btw). Let's just say that it's time to downsize the number of deities, especially the ones that had a lot of fun mistreating mortals, so you stripped them of their power and now they have to live with them (LOL serve you right). One day, a giant throne will be thrown from the island in the sky. You don't need that thing, so you replaced it with a desk, which is far more comfortable and useful.
Y/N: Shit, I hope this thing still moves...
Venti..move?
Y/N: Well yeah, Celestia move in the sky...it rotate you know? It follows the-
Venti: It moves?! But... why?!
Y/N: A more favorable viewpoint! If you wish to see clearly, you must go to the higher ground!
Venti:So, it's not a metaphor about the insignificance of the ones that live under it?
Y/N:...WHAT?! NOOOU! I even have a control room there!
Finally, things started to get better. You fixed all the mess, and now you have to look after your rebuilt world. It's a mess, it's not simple, but you have a lot of new helpers that wish to be useful. Especially Dainsleif!
He had noticed that you don't show the same characteristics as the other gods; you are... human. Capable of admitting mistakes and that your downfall was due to misplaced trust, but yet you didn't give up and fix what you needed to be saved. He can't see you as his god, not to mention that you don't want to. More like a friend.

What was the rick mayall comedy with ade that rheyre two old fucks living in an apartment together... ik thats so vauge but im trying to remember the name of it to watch it again š i just re watched all of tyo and neeeddd to find it again lol
Also hope your doing well its been awhile since ive been on tumblr to see or ask about ur page but i think abt u occasionally and im like yeah i hope theyre doing well keeping the tyo fandom alive
Also is there no charictor limit on these asks now????
Hi! Sorry it's taken me a while to answer this.
It sounds like you're describing Bottom, the '90s sitcom where Rik and Ade played two broadly middle aged bastards at the bottom (get it?) of society, loafing about, being pervy, and causing chaos. It isn't quite as surreal as The Young Ones, but it does feature lots of slapstick violence - Richie and Eddie have at least one very creative physical fight per episode - and there are occasions where something extra mad will happen, like the ceiling caving in, underpants being filled with custard, and fire farts (to name a few examples). Christopher Ryan also appears in a few episodes as one of Eddie's mates, Dave Hedgehog.
One of the original inspirations for Bottom was Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, which Rik and Ade both loved and thought was funny. It was one of the things they bonded over at uni, and the two of them got to star in a run of it in the early '90s (again, with Christopher Ryan).
There were three series of Bottom from 1991-1995, totalling at 18 episodes. All episodes were available on Dailymotion the last time I checked - in fact, I have a post somewhere on this blog with links to them, though it may very well be outdated by now. If you have a mooch around online, you should be able to find them.
The reason I'm guessing you mean Bottom is because Richie Richard and Eddie Hitler live together in a (disgusting) flat in Hammersmith, and there are some episodes set entirely within this horrid hovel. However, Filthy, Rich and Catflap also sees Richie Rich and Eddie Catflap sharing a (not quite as disgusting) flat, but these characters were a bit younger - and, to be honest, Bottom is the more highly regarded of the two sitcoms, though I don't think FR&C is anywhere near as bad as some critics made out.
Rik and Ade made five live stage shows for Bottom (Bottom Live) between 1993-2003. In fact, the fifth Bottom Live was the last substantial work they did together. All five of these have been available on YouTube for some years, so I assume they still are. I personally just slightly prefer the sitcom (or maybe I'm just jealous I can't go and see Bottom Live š), and I think a general rule of thumb is the quality does decline a little across the five (apologies to my comedy gods, although I think Ade might agree with me), but they are all absolutely worth a watch. Rik and Ade break character in them from time to time, and they're allowed to say fuck.
They also made a Bottom film in 1999 called Guest House Paradiso, which features Simon Pegg. Rik and Ade play the same characters, but now they run an appalling hotel on the Isle of Wight and their surnames are different (which Ade acknowledged when I went to see him touring with his autobiography was inexplicable). The film is not for the weak of stomach, certainly not for anyone with emetophobia, and unfortunately it does suffer from the curse of most sitcom movies apart from Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa in that it doesn't quite translate. To be fair, they didn't have a massive budget, and it happened only a year after Rik's accident (they were both meant to direct it, but Ade took on full directing duties as a result of this). Still, it's not unfunny, and I think it's available on Dailymotion; if you like Bottom, you should give it a watch. I wonder what a Bottom film set in the original world of the sitcom would've been like...
I have an inking who you are, although I might be wrong. I hope you're well, anyway. š I'm fine, just trundling along, coming up to my last semester as an undergrad. Tumblr may well have changed the character limit on asks, though I honestly couldn't say for sure.
Thanks for the ask!

hi hi i saw your requests were open? i was wondering if i could request a scenario where reader remembers how bad she used to be treated in high school by her friends, and she comes across a report she made a long time ago to her teachers about her being bullied online for her looks and being called really vulgar names by boys, but now itās made her indifferent to expressing emotion and she starts crying when she sees the report, so bakugou comforts her? maybe takes her out to eat? iām so sorry if this is too much, iām in my last year of highschool kinda sitting around the sidelines and I remembered how bad it used to be which ruined my whole dayš have a good day/night :)

ever since you were three youāve felt as if you were a fighter, a fighter fighting through the rough reality of being quirkless. it was not only hard mentally but also affected your school life gravelly. from being being bullied to being called vulgar words. you were from the very start a prey for this world full of predators.
however, life seemed to get better when you met your boyfriend pro hero dynamight. even though you were a quirkless nobody as per you, bakugo knew you were special. and at times he didnāt understand how someone as sweet, loving and caring as you could feel as if they were a nobody.
youāre everything and more he couldāve asked in a partner, and listening to things you went through, through-out your school life made him sick. because he knows he made someone else make the same way as people made you feel.
thinking about how he was once the predator preying on someone who he thought was a quirkless nobody.
he has changed though, bakugo katsuki is a changed man and he proves it to you on every occasion he can that he is no more a predator, he is now an alibi to protect people like you, who are bullied for something they canāt control.
and he succeeded in it. you had no longer thoughts about people who bullied you, it was a chapter in life that you had shut closed and you were finally happy in life, so so happy.
however, everyday is an up and down.
one evening while youāre boyfriend was showering you stupidly enough decided to go through some old stuff of yours. and thats when you found it, a hardcopy of the report youād once written to your homeroom teacher in 11th grade when things had gotten really really bad for you.
your curiosity got the best of you, and even though the small voice in the back of your head begged youā it begged you to not read it, not read through the trauma youāve faced, something you always wanted to shut down and never open again, you did it anyways.
you skimmed over the format diving straight to the main matter of the report.
iām writing this letter to you to bring a very important issue to your attention and iām hoping you can help me. iām a student in your grade, along with 20 other students. as you may already know iām quirkless and that has taken a toll on my mental health ever since i was big enough to realise what being quirkless meant. however, iāve been continuously bullied and harassed by my fellow students. being called stuff like āuselessā, āstupidā, quirkless idiotā and many other words which are extremely harsh. on many occasions my fellow classmates have told me to take my own life because im so āuselessā.
recently my house address has been leaked by someone and i have experienced my fellow batchmates throwing stones at my window. i feel highly unsafe. it was bearable when it was just verbal abuse but now itās getting out of hands and iām quite literally scared for my lifeā
you clutched the piece of paper tightly, not wanted to read anymore. it was so painful reliving those times. it felt as if you were stuck again, stuck in the constant loop of being bullied and tortured. continuously being told to end your life.Ā
thinking about it all restricted your breathe, it coming out in pants as tears flowed through your eyes freely.
it hurted so bad, your heart felt so fucking heavy, all these things all this trauma that you, as a 16 year old faced has affected you even when you're a grown up.
opening upto people, talking about your feeling, all of this has made it so hard for you. how indifferent you are just because you didn't have a quirk.
ābabe have you seen-ā bakugo said as he came out of the shower with only his sweatpants on, though he stopped mid- sentence when he found you on the edge of bed clutching a paper in your hand and crying.
without wasting another second bakugo rushed to your side, sitting infront of you on the floor on his knees, taking the piece of paper from your hand and placing your small hands in his huge calloused ones.
āwhaās wrong pretty girl?ā he asked rubbing his thumb on your palms as worry laced his feature.
sniffling you said, āās nothinā Important āsuki, ās jusā my old report i wrote to my homeroom teacher.ā bakugoās hand moved to your face wiping away your tears
āwhat report sweet girl?ā he asked, while his one hand stroked your cheek and the other held your hand.
you looked down, a fresh set of tears forming in your eyes, your lower lip wobbled as you sighed,āās from back when the bullyingā¦.ā you looked up at the ceiling still not meeting your boyfriendās worried gaze,āā¦ā¦ās from back when the bullying got really bad, ān i know ās stupid cryinā over it now butāā
bakugo stood up in a heartbeat and engulfed you in a hug, āās not stupid baby, donā beat yourself up, your feelinās are valid.ā he pulled back holding your face in his hands, his thumb stroking your cheek bones, āgosh i hate those fuckers, wish i coulda beat the shit outta each ān every one of them.ā he angrily said, though a softer tone still visible in his voice.
a choked chuckle left your mouth at his words, soon followed by another sniffle,āās alright iāve got you now.ā you smiled at him hugging his waist and snuggling your neck in his broad chest.
āyou wāna go out pretty girl? jusā you ān me out on a date? we can go wherever you want?ā he whispered in your ear as he hugged you tightly letting you embrace him. bakugo placed a chaste kiss on the top of your head waiting for your answer.
āā¦ā¦even to the cafe you donāt like because there are so many cheesy couples?ā you asked face still buried in his chest as you enjoyed the warmth that his body radiated.
āyeah, even that shitty cafe you like so much.ā he grumbled, but he knewā he knew that he was more than to take you to that shit ass cafe with the cheesiest couples if it meant that youād be happy and smiling again.
āyeah, yeah iād love to go with you āsuki.ā you replied pulling away the slightest so you can look into his beautiful crimson eyes that brought you so much warmth.
bakugo nodded his head and gave you the softest smile, a smile only and only for you.Ā

HALLO ELLIE!!! proud to say ive successfully managed to move on from my situationship! hope u donāt mind me rambling about this guy.
letās call him f since thatās his initial. F and I have been friends since primary sch, he eventually had to move because his dad passed away. Anyways, two years ago we started talking again because his family visited mine. Long story short, things were complicated because we had been flirting a lil bit and he also said that āif you flirt with other guys, Iāll starve myselfā which Icked me so BAD. He did apologised .Last year, I āhappy birthdayāed my way into his life and started talking again because I really did miss him, heās my childhood best friend after all. After like two weeks? I donāt remember anymoreš He told me he loved me and i was happy to say it back to him. (I was such a foolš) I remember being giggly and all. On 23rd August we got into a fight because we planned to meet up and i said to him āokay Iām nervous. I donāt think I wanna meet upā which made him mad. MIND YOU! we were in planning stages. i didnāt cancel on him on the day itself! I had lots of things going on at that time so him just casually saying I was PLAYING him made me so upset. He had the cheek to tell me āilyā because honestly I hate when people start getting all affectionate after a fight. I hope you get itš the next month went okaaay until 23rd sep. (23 is like a curse at this pointšš) I confronted him on why he hasnāt been saying āilyā back it may seem something small but I hate not getting it back like excuse me? AND HE SAID TO ME āmy ex was the only one who managed to make me feel lovedā I CRIED SO BADDD!!!! how could he say that after everything Iāve did for him. smh. yada yada things went on and in dec we stopped talking. I really did liked talking to him and all but it was too much. There was certain moments where I felt like he was just using me cause I wanted him. The times where we sexted (no nudes were exchanged, just texts.) though we did call because he wanted to hear me moan. not my proudest moments, I donāt wanna be begging for a guyās attention again. I genuinely loved him with my whole heart :((
IM SO SORRY 4 RAMBLING ON!!!! I needed to let this out so badly š¤ā¤ļøāš©¹ love u sm ellie
ā frank ocean anon
hiii my love <3 omg GASP iām so proud of uuu situationships are hell on earth i hope you feel at peace now!!
PLS YOUāre SO REAL FOR GETTING THE ICK OVER THAT!! i swear jealousy is only attractive w fictional men āš¼š it is NOT a cute look for actual men slsldkfjfh imo its a lil overbearing n strange haha
aww thats sad hun u guys are like childhood best friends so i imagine it was still tough not speaking :(( WOW he said i love youu n you said it backk. its ok bb if it was a happy thing in the moment then it can stay that way in your memory regardless of how stuff turned out in the end :ā) be kind to yourself <3
ahhh yea thats š© the whole getting mad cuz you cancelledā¦and no i totally get that, i hate that sort of ālove bombingā after a fight, it just comes off as in-genuine. thats so valid n i relate
OH MY GOSH THE COMMENT ABOUT HIS EX ā¹ļøā¹ļø WHY WOULD HE SAY THATā¦some things you should just keep to your fuckin self. thats awful im sorry love š„²š„² you deserve SO much better than that
itās okkk bb, you knew him a long time n even apart from relationship/situationship, there was still a friendship there too. you can really love someone but also realize theyre bad for you, those two can coexist. iām so proud of you for realizing you deserve better than someone who makes you feel like youāre being used! no one should ever feel that way. take it easy bb but truuuly truly truly time will heal <3 chin up!! so many wonderful experiences out there for you still my dear
- much loveee, ellie āļø

Getting my Dream Life before I turn 16 šš.
Ok so I listened to my affirmation tape overnight for the first time and I woke up at 5:55am (Feb15) and still let my affirmation tape play out for 2 more hours, I listen to it throughout the day (still listening to it.)
Im also doing Sammys 10 minute method.
I started the 10 minute method Feburary 12, 2023. I affirm for 10 minutes or more outloud 3 times a day, but today I affirmed 1 extra timeš.
Movement I think?:
February 15, 2023.
I remember I saved a bunch of tarot reading tiktoks and quotes from like 1-2 years ago and and I now ļæ¼ļæ¼resonate with them.
Waking up at 5:55am.
Seeing 333 4 times today, literally look up rn and it was 4:44pm, looked up and saw 5:55pm.
Owls.
Feb 16,2023
I had a dream that someone in my family got movement and results from a fairy subliminal š(I remember I used to listen to this one fairy sub every night and got dreams and movement but stopped a long time ago.) and they were really happy about it
Saw 333
Feb 18,2023
Literally saw 555 rn
Sorry guys i took a break i was sad.
But i started listening to my affirmation tapes again on march 7.
So now im on day 5 of listening to affirmations overnight.
The first night of listening to my affirmation tape a girl in my dream was talking about my manifestation.
So ive been having dreams of hearing my actual affirmation tape *2 affirmations* in my dream like the actual recording.
Having random vivid dreams.
Having dreams of living my dream life .
Like literally on day 4s dream I had a dream I was at a pool party or something I had my naturaly long beautiful hair, my dream body, and felt happy and my friend in the dream was chasing me with a water hose or something, and it was getting me wet omg š and I was like STOOPPPšš¤Ŗ, and when she stopped i was walking over to somewhere and flipped my hair over to one side and i woke up. It just felt like i had everything i desire when i dreamt that.
Day 5 today rn i didnt listen overnight but im listening to it rn for 1 hour to make up for not listening to it overnight.
Keep on seeing 1111, 1122, 1222 these past 5 days mainly 1111.

do you have any star wars opinion u would like to share omg i love hearing ur stranger things opinions and you are so right about them i think itād be fun to hear your star wars ones. even if youāre not really into star wars like itād still be funny i think.
+ also my sister has a heart-shaped mini waffle maker and itās so cutešš«¶š» we used to have a waffle maker that got a full clover like 4 hearts that we would separate when we were little. fun tangent to get into but my mom has a Thing for bakery apparel she literally bought so many waffle makers over the course of her life. like iām saying this for the years i can remember weāve got at least 6 ānewā ones.
(also last thing i promise just wanted to let you know on your ask box title is too long on mobile you can only see the beginning and end with suspension dots in the middle. like you can guess what it says but yeahš)
ok first of all im so sorry for taking so long but anyway HI i fixed my ask box title thank you for letting me know <3 and omg i have so many star wars opinions idk where to start so i'll just drop some random ones. SPOILERS FOR LIKE THE WHOLE STAR WARS FRANCHISE HERE WARNING.
basically every modern use of luke skywalker in star wars is ooc as fuck. like the luke of the original trilogy just straight up is not the same guy as the luke of the sequel trilogy or the mandalorian. he got bodysnatched at some point.
the prequels are bad like genuinely all three of them are so bad not only as star wars movies but as films in general. if you still enjoy them like sure have fun yknow i liked parts of them but when people try to argue that they're Good Actually that is insane.
rogue one is the best star wars movie outside of the original trilogy. like no contest. it doesn't try to rely on nostalgia or cgi or obvious parallels to the og trilogy, it just tells a story!! this is gonna sound silly but it's good because it's like. an actual movie. the characters of rogue one (ignoring andor which occurred after the fact for reasons that i cannot explain) are generally confined to rogue one and die at the end, meaning that the film was forced to tell a complete story and get the audience emotionally invested enough for the film's ending to feel significant and powerful. which is what a new hope did. because it had to be a good movie in order for there to be more movies in order to make star wars a thing. yknow. anyway.
the force awakens is actually pretty solid as the intended foundation for a new trilogy with new lovable characters and an inspirational story etc but after that kylo ren's whole existence just derailed the sequels as a whole and luke's characterization was so painful i just couldn't stand it. finn should have been the lead of the new trilogy with rey and poe as his leia and han but well. it was probably racism. like i'm not involved personally idk exactly what went down but i think people were just racist.
poe suddenly gaining a shady backstory that runs counter to the everything about him in the force awakens? also probably racist.
also everyone that wants to fuck kylo ren is going to hell no exceptions. sorry to my ex roommate carrie i love her but she's going down. also everyone who ships reylo or reads those tiktok books that are just reylo fic with the names changed? they're going to superhell.
the mandalorian is incredibly competent and entertaining as a show like separate from star wars as a franchise and i think the show is at its best when its engagement with existing characters like luke and ahsoka is extremely limited. not everything has to be about the skywalkers. like star wars is about a whole Galaxy and yet sometimes it feels like it's about a single fucking neighborhood the way the same bitches keep popping up everywhere across all media.
on that note i adore star wars jedi: fallen order and i think one of its greatest strengths is its use of original characters and avoidance of existing ones. like i may be wrong but i'm pretty sure the only character in fallen order that we knew Before fallen order was darth vader and i think that works really well! you go the whole game encountering new villains and allies and planets and stories and then suddenly it's like Oh Holy Shit That's Darth Fucking Vader. it's scary!! it's shocking!!! it's exciting and satisfying!!!! i just love that game so much sorry. cal kestis is my baby and i'm amped about jedi: survivor but i'm also so scared they will ruin him somehow. everybody please pray for my boy.
i'm gonna stop now but i think a lot of my opinions just kinda boil down to like. star wars should not be the mcu. i'm not against spinoffs entirely, i Adore the mandalorian and jedi: fallen order even more than i like the original trilogy, but things really don't need to overlap so much! using cgi carrie fisher for a single scene in rogue one made sense. using cgi luke skywalker for multiple episodes in the mandalorian is just dumb. the way they literally resolved the main plotline of the mandalorian in the boba fett show is ridiculous. star wars is fun and exciting and inspiring and disney sucks and i just hope that the mcu model becomes financially detrimental to them somehow and they pull it back soon.

hi. So I have nearly 90 drafts that have piled up over the course of about 3 or 4 months, so I guess Iāll start posting them now š I havenāt really read over this or checked it and I think I wrote it at 4am, so Iām sorry if it loses any coherency
(Headcanon?? or im just down bad) but like, joelās āif somehow the Lord gave me a second chance at that moment, I would do it all over againā being the way he tells ellie he loves her is so incredibly profound to me. Love (WEāRE TALKING PLATONIC) isnāt a feeling. People act like it is, which is why so many people fall out of it. Love is commitment, serving, and choosing them every single day. Itās in your actions. Their entire story shows this. Even in the little things, like joel teaching her how to play guitar. But even in the greater things. Ellie keeping him alive all throughout winter. Sure, she needed him to get to the fireflies, but I think winter goes deeper than that. This is post-ranch argument. The ranch argument (and joel taking her back while theyāre sitting above Jackson) and joel finding her with David are *their* moments. The moments when we see, okay, they are stuck together now. Even once they reach the fireflies, thatās not the end like we thought it would be a few hours ago. Theyāre going to stay together. Joel saying āIām never gonna leave you againā to her in that silent moment immediately after he finds her after David is such aā¦.I canāt think of the word oh my sjdhdjd but like their relationship is kind of solidified(?). Like their solidifying moment of āweāre with each other nowā. And I think winter shows Ellieās deep, profound love for Joel. Giving him literally all the warmth and as much as comfort as they could have (yes he was dying obviously just shhhh), probably nearly starving herself to make sure he got the majority of food and water she was able to get. She did that for weeks while he was knocking on deaths door. And joel, while she was just a job at the beginning, has still protected her from day one. And obviously his big moment of action that showed his love (no matter what way you view the end of the first game), was him saving her from the fireflies. He could not bear to lose another daughter, so he killed doctors and soldiers and everyone in his way to save her life. NOW to tie back to my first sentence in this whole spiel. I do believe theyāve both loved each other for years now, and I think it was always an understood thing between them. Joelās love definitely never faltered through those last two years, though Iām sure you could argue Ellieās did. Or didnāt, I donāt know. But it wasnāt something they ever said to each other. At the time of their porch conversation, tensions are very high. Ellie is still upset from the dance with Joelās intervention, and sheās still giving him the cold shoulder bc of his lie. I think a lot of things go through his head when she says āI shouldāve died in that hospital. My life wouldāve fcking mattered. But you took that from meā. I think one thing is, and something I probably would not have controlled, is her saying her life wouldāve mattered if she died for the cure. If I were joel I wouldāve spewed about how she does matter and blah blah blah sappy stuff ynow. But heās walking on thin ice here. He knows she feels betrayed. He knows theyāre not how they used to be. He knows he canāt just say anything because he may upset her more, and thatās at the top of his list of thing he does not want to do. And so he waits a minute and tries to collect his thoughts and what he wants to tell her. He thinks of something that, while it combats everything she just said to him, also holds a lot of weight of their relationship and why he did what he did. I genuinely think that him saying this is just āI love youā in its purest, most raw, emotional, profound (Iāve said this like 7 times im sorry it just f i t s) form. If he said āI love you too much to let you dieā, that wouldāve scared her off. But he gave her something that she needed to hear and to start to understand why he did it and how he STILL feels, even after everything. And sometimes I wonder if the āI would do it all over againā refers to just the hospital, or their entire journey as a whole. Either way, I think it still tells her enough.
-And so she tells him she doesnāt think sheāll be able to forgive him and it BREAKS him. The thought of losing her, or not so much losing her, but never getting their relationship back to birthday level camping trip highs, kills him. His breath is shaky immediately. But then she tells him, maybe she could forgive him. But not that she could, but that sheād LIKE to try. She WANTS to get back to that birthday level camping trip high of the relationship they used to have. As hurt as she is, she misses it. Heās (I believe, personally) the most important person in her life, even if at this point. She wants to get back there as much as he does. And he starts to break more. Because now, thereās a chance, though incredibly small, that he COULD get her back. And that is more than enough. It could take years, but heās happy with it. Heās thrilled to know that, even after everything, she is willing to try. Can you imagine early tlou2 if it were different and we got to see a cutscene of Ellie asking joel if he wanted to watch Curtis and Viper 2 that night? The smile that wouldāve come to his face?
ALSO I FORGOT TO GO WITH THE LAST CHUNK OF TEXT.., him singing future days to her I think is also such a big profession of love. Theyāve been in Jackson a few months and theyāre living a ānormalā lil family father-daughter life now. Not out every day fighting for their life. They get to settle down. And obviously his attachment to ellie has been going on for a while, but them being like,, theyāre glued together now. Theyāre WITH each other. Joelās adopted her ok ive talked to Neil druckmann myself I know things. But joel signing this to her is just so incredibly special. He loves her so much. I literally sat in my bed last night and was full on sobbing bc the degree that his love goes for her is beyond my comprehension. Every time I think about I CANNOT wrap my head around it. Itās so insane to me. But he loves her so incredibly much. He got a second chance at fatherhood and refuses to lose ellie, under any circumstance as weāve seen, even if the rest of the human race was on the line, he canāt lose her. Now obviously as I mentioned above, we never hear the āi love youā sentiment actually said between either of them, but we see it in their actions. All their actions throughout the games, even the little things. And I think what joel says on the porch is as much of an i love you as you can get, i think Iām singing to her is just as much as well. He couldāve sung ANY song he knew on guitar, but no he picked future days to show her how much he loves her. āIf i ever were to lose you, Iād surely lose myself. I believe, cause I can see, our future days, days of you and meā (yes I cut some lines out) BUT LIKE???? GDKDHDK but not even just talking about the lyrics or the fact that they show exactly what joel is trying to say, itās also that this is the song joel uses to introduce ellie to guitar. To introduce her to something he 1) promised heād teach her and 2) itās something he LOVES. itās just so,?:?!&,)?:,;@($ i love their love I love their story I love the little things I love overthinking about them

helloooooo Jim anon here!! Sorry for disappearing!! I was just feeling very lazy to write a headcanon but Iām back with another one!!
Okay so we all watched the movie and in the span of 90mins, we managed to see Jim get hit in the face not once but twice!!
Anyway itās gonna be a bit of a silly headcanon today but here we go:
The kids were with their mom, it was Friday night. So Jim and you decided to go to a lovely little restaurant and enjoy a night out, just the two of you.
After dinner, you decide to take a walk downtown. Youāre chatting about a bit everything, laughing at Jimās joke when you hear a veryā¦inappropriate comment.
Obviously because it was a date night, you dressed up and some jerk had to voice his opinion.
You were going to brush it off, keep walking because you just didnāt want to ruin your evening with your man. Maybe you would have dealt with it on a more random night but as I said, you were having a great time and you didnāt want some silly teenager ruin it.
But Jim stopped.
And you see, Jim is far from the āfighterā type of boyfriend. Itās really not a critic or a bad thing but heās a pretty chill guy who gets angry likeā¦once a year.
Heās also a man who has some egoānot a lot but still. And a part of him kind of wants you to feel safe with him. So he decides (well itās more impulsive than a thought-through decision) to show that guy that he canāt speak so badly of you, especially not in front of him.
Youāre trying to get Jim to leave. Itās okay, youāre used to these kinds of remarks.
But heās not backing down.
And of course, the situation gets worse. Jim says something that really pisses off the guy.
His arm swings and just hits Jim, right in the jaw.
You threaten to call the cops and the guy finally leaves. You check on Jim and of course, heās going to get a pretty ugly bruise soon.
You quickly go back home, thankfully you werenāt too far.
Jim is in so much pain. But worse, he feels like a complete fool. Heās so embarrassed and all he wants is for you to feel safe by his side.
You bring him some ice for his jaw, gently applying the cold pack. Youāre pushing the hair off his face, trying to soothe him.
When you ask him if heās okay, he ends up apologizing. Firstly because he fears he may have ruined the night and secondly because he couldnāt defend you properly.
I feel like even though Jim isnāt a particularly insecure person, heād still have his doubts. Heās aware your relationship is a bit unusual because of the age gap and he wants to give everything a guy your age would give you. And he tends to do impulsive things like that.
You tell him he doesnāt have to apologize, youāre just glad heās okay. He kind of also admits that he wanted to protect you and he feels a bit shitty he couldnāt which is really sweet in itself. You assure him he doesnāt need to do that. You donāt need him to defend you but hey youāre glad heās willing to risk taking a punch in the face for you. Thatās kinda romantic, isnāt it?
You try to laugh it out, lighten the mood which really helps. Last thing Jim needs is to feel like youāre disappointed or upset because of him.
Anyway, you make sure he keeps the ice on his jaw and put some arnica cream to help him heal. And you even kiss his bruised skin, gently of course, promising him you have magic powers.
And yeah I just think Jim is the kind to get into a fight even though heāll end up getting beaten up in 99% of cases.
Oh and I think I mentioned this before but I would actually love if you told me headcanons you have so we can discuss and all (I may have a lot of ideas, Iām afraid I might run out at some point) so if you have a headcanon idea, Iād love to write what I think of it!!
I hope youāre doing great bye and Iāll talk to you soon! :)
HAIII AGAIN! And its okay, I know the feeling all too well š
I think I'm even more in love with Jim after this. Also, huge agree that Jim isn't the "get into a fight type" but he's a teensy tiny bit old fashioned and wants to defend (and impress) you.
I loved this soooo much! Poor guy gets beaten up but he doesn't need to feel bad because you wouldn't dream of making a thing of it and you just wanna make him feel better after everything.
And I'm pretty sure you mentioned but alas I have soup brain. Though, I'll try to cook up something now. Its under the cut so this doesn't get infuriatingly long for someone scrolling through the tags lol
So, we've talked about you taking care of Jim (which is always so adorable) but what about Jim taking care of you?
Maybe you've had a long day at work or just bad day/week in general. Maybe things have just been busy and now you're exhausted.
Now, you don't wanna worry him, because he's already got so much going on with work and his kids, so instead of saying something, you keep pushing through and going about your life. Jim notices though, he knows you well and pays enough attention to catch the little changes in your behavior- and it hurts, and worries, him to see you like that.
But nonetheless, he tries to give you a bit of space. In part because he gets that sometimes people need time to themselves and because he truly believes that you'll come to him if you need to talk or just be together.
His resistence thins quickly though, because he loves you so much and its really eating him up to see you like this. So one evening, he takes some initiative. We've already established that he's not great in the kitchen, but he does know how to order your favorite take out and crack open a bottle of wine that pairs well with it (if you don't drink then no worries, y'all are having something else).
When you get home, the whole thing is already set up; the lights are dimmed low, the wine is breathing, the food is ready and your comfort movie is waiting for someone to hit "play". You're pleasantly surprised and even though you keep saying that he didn't have to go through the trouble, you both know that a night to unwind was necessary. Besides, Jim genuinely does not think it was any trouble at all, he loves taking care of you and will do anything to put a smile on your face.
After a nice, cozy dinner, you two cuddle and finish the movie. He insists on clearing the dishes himself, and when that's through, he tells you that he has one more suprise left and leads you to the bathroom where he's got the tub set up and ready to go. He really went all out; the water is just the temperature you like, he's used some of those essential oils you like and there's just enough soap in there to make suds gather around the edges as well as in the center. He's also turned the lights down and has strategically placed some scented candles around the space to give it the most magical glow.
Though his original plan was to have you unwind in there alone while he takes care of you from the outside, you manage to convince him to get in with you. "Convince", however, may be a strong word because how can he say no when you just want to be close to him?
So he gets in, helping you get cozy against his chest so he can massage your shoulders and just hold you and such. You've honestly never felt this pampered.
You two must have stayed in there until a while after the water started losing its warmth because its so comfortable. But when notices when you start dozing off, Jim gently coaxes into deserting the tub so you both can get rinsed off.
Flashforward to not very long after, you're both under the covers, in a tangle of limbs; one of your arms is thrown over his stomach, a leg is hooked over his hip and your head is on his chest, while Jim has one arm holding you close as the other hand traces soothing patterns in your arm. By now, you're drifting off again, and your awful week feels lightyears away. You mumble a soft thanks, which is largely incoherent, and Jim's only response is a drowsy "I love you" and "goodnight" coupled with a chaste kiss which he presses to the top of your head before falling asleep himself.

Can you tell I'm a rambler by the way I write? Probably.
But anyway; take care and hope we talk soon!
