#this scene is so ridiculous when you really think about it like šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Note
i agree with you about being frustrated with how often this fandom has top/bottom discussions but its a pretty common talking point in most fandoms so YR isnā€™t special for that
No I totally agree with you that itā€™s a common topic of discussion in a lot of fandoms, but thereā€™s a particular way we have it in this fandom that really grinds my gears.
And donā€™t get me wrong, I donā€™t care if you hc Wilmon to be vers or if you think Wille tops or Simon tops or whatever - itā€™s the justification and reasoning that Iā€™m seeing behind these headcanons that I find deeply irritating and, frankly, insulting and kind of homophobic.
This is going to get long so forgive me.
1. Iā€™ve seen so many posts talk about how the show is ā€œbraveā€ and ā€œsubversiveā€ by having Wille go down on Simon or potentially bottom, but like - what the hell are we even talking about? In what world is it subversive to show a queer character having queer sex?? What are we subverting?? This show has never shown us anything with its intimate scenes other than two guys that are deeply in love and really horny for eachother and I hate that we keep bringing this shit up!!!
2. Iā€™ve also seen people say that it was very important for us to see Wille moving to go down on Simon in the tape in S1 because itā€™s ā€œmore damning evidence that heā€™s queerā€ and otherwise Wille couldā€™ve just said he was horny and desperate but he was actually imagining he was with a girl in his denial statement. But be so fucking forreal, in what world is that a thing he could argue in an official statement to the press? Heā€™d be the laughing stock of the world.
Wilhelm isnā€™t more or less gay because he went down on Simon vs the other way around. Heā€™d still be having queer sex because heā€™s having sex with another guy. Arguing that the framing here is for anything other than a plot device so Willeā€™s face wouldnā€™t be visible to set up the denial is actually kind of ridiculous.
As someone very smart on here said, ā€œIā€™m sorry that you apparently have a tier list of sex acts ranging from ā€œkinda straightā€ to ā€œGaylordā€ šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ get well soon, couldnā€™t be me.ā€
Imagine for one second Simon was the one giving Wille head? Would you have criticized the show for that?? And WHY?!
3. Next: saying that Wilmonā€™s relationship is ā€œequalā€ because you think theyā€™re vers isā€¦a take and a half lmao. What the fuck does being vers have to do with a relationship being equal?? Why are we assigning arbitrary hierarchies to sexual preferences??? Why are we implying that topping and bottoming are somehow not equal and you have to carefully balance both, when, ideally, itā€™s just whatever the fuck everyone is into???
Wille isnā€™t selfish for topping. Simon isnā€™t sacrificing anything by bottoming. Theyā€™re fucking because theyā€™re in love and they want to šŸ˜­
TLDR: Wille doesnā€™t suck Simonā€™s dick for class liberation. Simon riding Wille isnā€™t a commentary on how heā€™s ā€œgirl-coded.ā€ Itā€™s just sex, leave them alone to have a good time and stop assigning agendas to queer sex.

Astrology observations #2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-people who lack an element in their chart really do surround themselves with a lot of people in said element. for example, my friend lacks earth and has at least 4 friends who are earth sun signs
-some capricorns really can't get along with leos, but they are attracted to sag and aries placements. they can't help it
-mars in the 1st house get sexualised a lot, to the point it gets too much for some people..especially women. these people are also very ambitious. even when going through tough times, they never lose sight from their goals
-mercury in aquarius have a unique humor. the same goes for mercury in the 11th.
-virgo mercury pay attention to details, esp when they like you..the things they remember and gifts they give you, shows how thoughtful they are
- fire signs/houses..please tell me that you've been told at least once that you talk too loud. i have aries mercury and my friend mercury in the 9th and we both had a revelation that we talk too loud lmao
-well-developed capricorns are such sweethearts. they are reasonable and grounded, but they are also so funny and charming. they may appear as if they have everything under control at all times, but they're just like the rest of us
-water signs have the craziest dreams i swearšŸ˜­some can sound like scenes from a movie, fantasy and/or horror
-moon in the 5th house/leo think about themselves a lot and take things personally. they think everything is about them. on the other hand, they have the biggest hearts and they want to make everyone they love happy. can you blame them tho for wanting to feel like a main character
-when you want to ease your mind, talk to someone who has a sagittarius mercury and they will cheer you up
-having an empty 7th house might mean that you don't have much, if any, relationship experience. you probably give good relationship advice though
-aquarius/11th house placements have their own strong moral code. they can usually hide their feelings well, but if they realise someone is being intolerant towards others and mean, they'll get really emotional. they want the world to be a better place, and get frustrated when they see how many people don't care
-capricorn placements may have really complex relationship with their parents. they often expect too much from their kids, and since they prove that they can endure almost everything, the parents don't loosen their grip. they need to know their worth and forget about the expectations!
-mercury retrograde can really cause communication issues for people. it is difficult for these people to express how they feel and stand up to others. but, it does get better with time!
-aries and taurus placements combo in a man can be very dark imo, they are often players. they also have huge ego problems. i dislike emphasizing only the darker parts of people, so i have to admit that these placements, if well-developed, can be very loyal and passionate especially with people they love. they are also incredibly hard-working and focused, it's really admirable.
-be careful when dealing with men that have virgo and libra placements in their chart. some may be romantic and attentive, while others can nitpick your every flaw and can have ridiculously high standards. they can cheat and lie easily as well
-sagittarius venus love adventure, having a partner who doesn't know how to have fun and explore things is a big turn off to them. they can make compromises for their more serious partners, but if they can't reciprocate the same effort, it's not going to work
-cancer risings seem very approachable and kind. their eyes are usually big and curious, almost childlike
-this has been said many times, but venus in the 1st individuals truly are beautiful. there is also something different and captivating in their beauty, they stand out wherever they go
-saturn in the 3rd house/gemini may indicate that a person faced speech/writing difficulties when they were young, or they continue to struggle with it
-pisces moons tend to forget things and their memory can betray them at times. as a pisces moon, i think that's because we are in our heads too much and we remember how we felt about things, not the words and actions. we also struggle with being present 100% of the time, so we perhaps didn't listen to you in the first place (i'm sorry)
take this with a grain of salt, since i only read about astrology in my free time!šŸ’œ

You know what really gets me about ATSV
ATSV: How to do a face reveal right
[A SHORT essay on why I think Miguel and Hobie are Hot On Purpose.]
Jessica's face is completely uncovered. Ben's face is shown right away. Pavitr appears in his mask but immediately shows his face in his own intro. Margo is always unmasked too.
CMIIW but: Miguel and Hobie are the only new characters whose faces were hidden until WAY after their first lines.
You mean to tell me, two of the finest characters in the movie. The characters who look like THIS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Are shown first as this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- for a reason!! The writers knew what they were doing šŸ˜­
They - knowing the two would receive the most fan attention - deliberately delayed their face reveals simply for the sake of the drama.
When we first meet Miguel - it's as Spider-man
He's playing the cool, cold, heroic leader (despite Gwen's teasing). We come close to seeing his face, but like him, we stop short.
Tumblr media
They give us a taste of Miguel before we actually meet him, or see his face and full design.
The opening scenes of ATSV leaves us holding our breath.
The end of ITSV sets Miguel up to a big problem in ATSV, but he's abscent for the majority of the movie, working behind the scenes.
We spend the majority of the movie holding our breath, knowing that eventually Miles will have to meet him, we'll have to meet him, and it leaves the viewer even more excited - or anxious - for Miguel.
When we meet Hobie - it's as Spider-Punk
Just the same as Miguel, we're given a HUGE dose of Hobie before he even hits the screen.
Hobie is the talk of the town. Miles has an imagined problem with him - so we have a problem with him: We don't know who he is!
ATSV sets us up for Hobie. We know we'll meet him, but unlike Miguel - as so very in character for Hobie - we don't know where, or when, or how.
Tumblr media
Even after his first appearance - he kicks it up a notch.
And although he could've remained masked for the entirety of his intro, instead - the animators choose to have fun with it.
Tumblr media
They highlight the fact. Hobie outright taunts the viewer; He KNOWS you want to see his face. Sure, he'll demask himself - but he doesn't give you the satisfaction.
But Hobies face is an intentional mystery. He wants to keep you guessing, revealing in the anticipation.
He's already told you his name - but it's his character design that we're left dying for.
I know as soon as they got in the elevator I was like šŸ‘€ - he not gonna keep that mask on right. cause I know he fine
I find it so funny that the two characters that are thirsted after on the highest level are the only ones that reveal their faces in later scenes.
Like even when they walk into Miguels lair
Tumblr media
Like bro what the fuck are you posing for? Dramatic effect šŸ˜
It goes to show that writers genuinely know who will be fan-favorites.
The ATSV design and animation team made a ridiculous amount of content for Hobie - going so far as to design his house, and make detailed imagery of his world.
They knew it'd never be included in ATSV. But they didn't care.
They made it anyway cause they knew people would want more of him. They knew that either in BTSV - or a solo entry of his own - people would really like Hobie, and really want to know more about him.
The knew that people would go NUTS over Miguel's redesign - because it's such a stark difference and upgrade from his teaser seen in ITSV.
In the beginning of ATSV, the design changes aren't that apparent. But as ATSV goes on, and we see Miguel's behavior, we immediately understand why they chose to make Miguel SO MUCH LARGER than what they were planning in ITSV.
They knew that you'd hear Oscar Issac's voice and it'd be a wrap. The way he looks is just ICING on the cake. They don't need to show you Miguel right away, they're going to make you thirst the whole movie before you actually get to see him.
They knew you'd see Hobie kick through that force field and be shook over him.
Gwen and Pavitr yell out 'Hobie!' when he arrives - because that's what we're all screaming in our heads.
'Oh shit - he's HERE.'
His face reveal is just the final nail in the coffin of 'yeah, im down bad for this dude. it's a wrap.'
I just LOVE IT i LOVE IT it SO CLEVER
the writers being like 'nah make them thirsty hoes wait'. Im watching Mumbattan fall apart in front of my very eyes and I'm still like... 'So about that Hobie bloke.... what's his deal'
We are all so predictable. They're laughing at us. They made Miguel dummy thicc because they knew. They just knew.

NO BECAUSE !!!!!!!! i think we need more interactions of Assassin!Reader x Bonten šŸ˜©šŸ˜© (thank u for da reader who requested it bcs my šŸ«€ is beating happiness) or maybe you could make this a series??? šŸ‘€šŸ‘€ bUT ANYWAYS can I request a Assassin!Reader x Bonten where Bonten was trying to find some info abt Reader but ofc Reader knows abt it so when there's a general meeting for the Bonten Executives, she appeared into the meeting like she was just watching them the whole time šŸ¤£ and Reader is mad mad abt it. she doesn't want them to snoop around her life
(if u dont want to do this, its ok!!! no pressure. lovelots šŸ«°šŸ»)
ā”€Yandere!Bonten x assassin!reader
ā”€Summary: tired of so much persecution you decide to set the record straight, but you are only making a mistake
ā”€Warnings: menciĆ³n of blood, unwarranted obsession, toxic behaviors, yandere stuff
first of all, I still don't know how to write action or fight scenes, I'm sorry, second, many people will be grateful to you for the request, and third, how so many people liked it?! šŸ˜­šŸ¤šanyway, here you go (about making a miniseries Idk, but if I have any idea for this I will definitely write it šŸ˜Œ) @ajmiila02, @kenmasbimbo, @uniqueeggtoast, @belle643, @simpingfor-wakasa, @ihavestrawberryjam, @binibining-mariaclara, @sereinitysmind (hope that I didn't left anyone untagged)
Part one / Part Three
Tumblr media
"You should stop turning down those job offers, they offer you a good amount and your other clients seem not to ask for your help much lately."
You sighed looking at the request manager, he took your silence to mean that you didn't really care, you never have anything stable in this world, there were always better and worse times so it wouldn't really worry you.
"Just take care to let me know if there are other people than 'Mr. B', their requests are ridiculous."
The man raised both hands, nodding to your petition, after that you left the alley where you met the manager, returning to the busy streets of Tokyo in the middle of rush hour, where everyone was walking down the street without worries, you mixed among those people until you reached a suburb of small houses. You opened the rickety door with a nasty creak, looking at the garbage that flooded the floor, you couldn't ask for more for the minimum amount of this place and location, anyway it was time to move to another apartment.
Not only because you needed to change 'home' from time to time, but because lately you had felt less safe with your environment, it all started when you accepted the first request from 'Mr. B', they only asked you to kill a man, you did your job but also you discovered the identity of that 'B' who turned out to be not just one person but rather several.
You don't usually remember faces or names that aren't necessary for your missions, so you had to rack your brains to remember those two faces you saw, then you linked them to that group you saved in that brothel a month ago. Luckily only you could see how the guy with the pink mullet and the guy with the scar who tried to stop you that time were there, they seemed to be watching your movements with a satisfied smile when they saw little drops of blood fall from your face.
You interpreted that 'Mr. B' was all that group that you barely remembered the appearance of, you thought that on that occasion they were only there to check that you did your job well, but you noticed how they started to track you after that assignment, although of course, they could not find you and their only way to see you would be for those orders, which you did not accept.
The next two months your usual customers disappeared without a trace, it's not like you received daily orders but it was strange that all your requests were now only from 'B', it irritated you because it meant a heavy blow to your name in the underground, by refusing to take orders to Bonten, no one else did it as if they felt threatened.
But the worst of all was that every step you took you felt their eyes on you, every corner you turned you saw their shadow on you, it bothered you enough to think about killing them but you seriously thought about it and it would get you nowhere, you didn't used to kill to reputable or well-known people because that would cause a more intensive search for you and those guys seemed to be at least successful because they were handling a ridiculous amount of money.
You didn't even know their names and they always seemed to be on your trail, you never let them get too close to you, but lately they seemed closer and closer to finding you directly, you got fed up, you weren't leading a quiet and peaceful life, but inside from the garbage of your work you could always have a rest from all those deaths, you could always have a little space to pretend that your life was not rubble and everything was normal.
"Looks like I'm going to have to do some special work or I'll go completely hysterical."
As you were getting ready to leave that same night, all of the Bonten executives gathered at their meeting point earlier today, all sitting at a round table waiting for Mikey to start the meeting, though he waved for Takeomi to start since he was already busy eating his taiyaki.
"As you know we have been looking for that assassin from that day, we have always followed clues but we never managed to find the person, but today, we will complete the capture plan."
They all nodded in sync, some more eager than others, after all the stupid game of cat and mouse made them feel more irrationally attracted to you, Mochizuki always enjoyed watching you mix so well with people but quickly lost sight of you that he needed more from you, Sanzu and Rin enjoy seeing you staining you with the blood of your targets, Kakucho seems to appreciate your fighting style, Takeomi sees you as a difficult puzzle to solve and Ran and Kokonoi were perhaps the least attached to that exalted image of you, but they were curious about you.
"Is everyone clear about their part of the plan? We can't let anything go wrong, she never leaves a trace and knows how to erase her tracks, so we'll have to resort to more violent methods than just watching how she goes on our faces."
The meeting continued for a few minutes, explaining each phase and step while unknown to them you were in the room ventilation listening to everything, your blood boiled listening to how they talked about how they would make you bow down to them, it was your breaking point.
"Once we capture her, we can do what we want with her?"
"Only what I allow."
Mikey got up answering Sanzu who rolled his eyes for the answer, the leader patted his shirt to remove all the rest of the crumbs, with that everyone knew that the meeting had ended although to their surprise three bullets hit the table right in front of the site from Mikey, immediately after you kicked the grate and jumped on top of the table pointing your two pistols at everyone.
"I am going to make one thing clear, do not interfere in my life, I don't know what you want from me, but I'm not looking for anything from you."
You kicked Rin's arm as he tried to grab your leg, immediately firing Sanzu's pistol to disarm him, then ducking to avoid Ran's staff.
"What about the expenses for destroying that brothel?"
"You speak as if-" you jumped from the table hitting Kakucho's hands with the butt of your pistol, moving as far away from them "as if you lacked money, I know you are 'Mr. B', there is no point in charging me for that."
"We don't need reasons to want you as our slave! If we want something we have it and you would be a great possession to us."
"Oh just go to hell, Chunzu, I don't care about you or your supposed leader Mokey, I'm asking for peace of mind! and I want you to take this as a warning."
You took a little momentum, doing a slight somersault on the table, you shot at the large window breaking the glass into small pieces, you ran towards the broken window to jump through it, the arms of Mochizuki and Rin trying to reach your body unsuccessfully, you spun in the air and fired one last time before your body was thrown from the top floor of the building, disappearing into the darkness of the night and the buildings.
The bullet made Mikey's dyed hair move slightly, a couple of cut strands slowly descending to the ground, everyone fell silent watching their leader look at the window you had thrown out of, Kokonoi snapping everyone out of their daze.
"Mikeyā€¦?"
"If she want to play that game we'll play, before it was a whim, but now it's a necessity, I want her here."
He turned now looking at the wall where the lead bullet had been nailed, brushing the hole and scratching slightly to remove the small object, he smiled observing the shape and caliber.
"Let's startā€¦ analyzing this."
He took one last look at his most trusted executives before walking off fiddling with the 10mm bullet, they all looked at each other with a new flame burning in their eyes, you're only making things worse, you should have run but it was too late to get rid of them.

Deck the Halls (and not your partner) - part 7
the mistletoe scene I have to give credit to the lovely @novelizt because of this post
this is basically just 3.5k words of fluff to make up for all the pain I put you through the last two parts
Word count: 3.5k
Warnings: swearing, making out (it's happening people, but also it's mildly in detail so for the one tiny paragraph feel free to skip if you're either not comfortable with it or not old enough), Will asks the important questions (both sensible and not), brief mentions of self-esteem issues? lockwood is a bit silly at the end, actually they both are
series master list
(why does he look like this :3 šŸ˜­)
Tumblr media
"What?" Y/n breathed. She wasn't entirely sure that she'd heard Lockwood correctly.
"I said that I think I've fallen for you."
He looked so sincere, his eyes more vulnerable than she had ever seen them before, and Y/n felt her heart constrict in her chest.
"You..."
"I know, I know." He rubbed his hand over his face, turning to lean back against the window. The mistletoe still hung at his side in his other hand.
"But you were horrible to me! From the very start!"
"I know. I was awful to you that first night and my only excuse is that I was exhausted and in desperate need of my bed, which I know isn't good enough. And then when you came in for your interview I just didn't want to be the one responsible if anything happened to you - wait, that came out wrong. You walked into the doorframe, Y/n. I was worried that you'd hurt yourself on a job, and I didn't want to get too attached to you in case that happened and you got injured or hospitalised or worse and I couldn't do anything to stop it. When I saw how easily the others took to you I knew that I was doomed," he let out a laugh, shaking his head. Y/n hoped he realised how ridiculous he sounded. "I know that doesn't excuse my actions, Y/n, but I meant what I said about that job we took in March. I really thought I wouldn't get there in time and I was terrified."
"Lockwood... you can't just... say that! I mean, you have said some genuinely horrible things to me and now you're saying that you - you what? That you-"
"I don't know!" he cried, filled with exasperation. "Alright? I don't know how else to describe it! I don't know if how I feel is love because I've never felt like this before, but I do know that I care about you far more than I should given I'm your boss, and I really don't know what would happen to me if you got seriously hurt, alright?" He was out of breath, cheeks flushed as he looked at her, and Y/n felt her own face heating up at his admission.
"Okay, okay," she said quietly, still processing everything he'd said. They stayed there for a few minutes, both leaning back against the windows as they tried to figure out what the hell they were going to do now. "I don't..." Y/n broke off with a sigh. She needed to phrase this right or they would be in even deeper shit than they were before. "I don't think I can just... forgive you, Lockwood. You have a lot - and I mean a lot - of grovelling to do to make up for how you've treated me these last few years." He nodded frantically, hope starting to shine in his eyes.
"Anything," he said. "Anything at all." She knew that he meant it.
"And I want to go on more cases if I'm staying at the company, because you can't just keep me behind because you think I'll walk into a doorframe."
"Done." He paused for a moment, looking like he wanted to say something else. "But you have-"
"Nope! No protests, thank you!" He stopped talking immediately, looking rather like a lost puppy as he gazed at her. "No more hating each other, either, although I feel like that's a given. And the first date had better be fucking incredible, alright?"
"... First... date?"
"Yeah, keep up, Schmoopie." She couldn't deny how her heart lifted at the sight of Lockwood looking so happy, and when he grinned her responding smile was involuntary.
"Wait... so do you... you know. How do you feel, about..." he waved his hands vaguely in the air, then accidentally hit himself in the face with the mistletoe. "Shit, I think that went in my eye. I forgot I was holding that," he grumbled, and Y/n didn't bother biting back her snort. He sent her a glare, but there was only amusement behind it.
"I don't really know, Lockwood."
"Anthony."
"What?"
"If we're going to start dating I'd much rather you called me Anthony." He blushed and went quiet as he looked out the window. "I like it better when you call me Anthony anyway. Sorry, I uh, I interrupted you."
"Oh, no, that's... that's alright. Uh... yeah. Like you said, I don't know how to describe it. I know that it really hurt me when you said that you wouldn't ever feel the same way, and I guess I just didn't want to admit to myself that I care about you a lot too because you were such a huge arsehole to me-"
"Yes, got it, sorry again."
"-but I do care about you, Anthony. A lot. And honestly that does annoy me because I'm pretty sure I've liked you since we met because I did think you were really gorgeous, except then you were really rude and-"
"Wait wait wait wait wait," he exclaimed, waving his hands in front of him. "You think that I'm gorgeous?"
Now it was Y/n's turn to feel her face heat up, and she swatted at his hands. "I did, yeah. Then you opened your mouth."
"Oh."
"Yeah." She waited a moment, then spoke again. "If you must know, I still think you're gorgeous," she muttered, and Anthony lit up, a smug smile landing on his face. Surprisingly she'd missed them, and while she still felt the burning flames in her body at the sight of that stupid smirk, it was no longer hatred.
He stepped forward a little (only a little, since they were back to being incredibly close to each other) and held the mistletoe in both of his hands. "Your grandma Jean gave it to me," he said. "She told me we might need it because it used to be a symbol of peace, and if people met under it they had to stop fighting." They both had been looking down at the plant, but when Anthony lifted his head so did she, and her breath caught in her throat at the look in his eyes.
"So you want to kiss me again?"
"I mean, I wouldn't be entirely opposed to that, if you're offering."
"Really? Really, Anthony?" Her tone was joking, but she felt him move back almost imperceptibly when she didn't immediately agree to it, and her heart skipped a beat when she realised he was waiting for her permission.
"Well I can't kiss you if we aren't under it, can I? So I don't know what you're so worried about, darling."
"Better try and catch me then if you want a kiss," she teased, and leapt away a second later.
"We're running now? When we've just had a huge meal?" He stepped forward anyway, and Y/n laughed with pure joy when he started chasing her around the room, attempting to catch her but just missing every time. Finally she tripped, catching her foot on the corner of the bed, and Anthony swept her into his arms to stop her from hitting the floor. Instead they hit the mattress, Y/n landing on her back and Anthony on top of her, his arms bracing his body while he still clutched the mistletoe in his left hand. They were both breathing heavily from the last five minutes of running and laughing, and now their faces were so close together that they were essentially kissing already.
Anthony held up the mistletoe over their heads the best he could while simultaneously not collapsing on Y/n, and he raised his eyebrows at her. "May I kiss you, darling?" She couldn't speak, so she nodded instead, and within a second his mouth was on hers, somehow better than it had been the first time. It was tentative and small, and he pulled back to flick his gaze between her eyes and her lips. It had left her breathless despite how short it had been, and before she could think they were crashing into each other with the same passion as they had the night before, her hands lifting to grab his hoodie and his hair in desperation. At some point Anthony dropped the mistletoe to move his hand to her waist and bring her closer to him.
There was nothing but him, nothing but the weight of his body on top of hers and his hands touching her and his tongue in her mouth, and then he was pulling back for air and she was chasing after his lips, and he was smiling down at her like she was the only thing that mattered.
For whatever reason, they started laughing, Anthony dropping his head to nestle in the crook of her neck while Y/n wrapped her arms around his torso to bring him impossibly closer.
"So... does this mean I can call you my girlfriend?" he asked, hope making him light up like the Christmas tree they had in the living room.
"Yes, Anthony, you can call me your girlfriend," she laughed, and it turned into a snort when he got up and did a celebratory dance. "You're ridiculous, you know that?"
"Oh, believe me darling, I am fully aware."
~~~
"Hey, Squeak. You alright?"
Y/n had been sitting in the library, staring out the window at the snow that had started falling while she tried to concentrate on the book in her hands. Anthony had been called into the living room by her parents, and they'd parted with a not-so-small kiss just out of view of her family. Will had apparently managed to find her, and was settling into the opposite side of the window seat that she was occupying. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"I dunno. You seemed a bit... off. At dinner. Is everything alright with you and Lover Boy?"
"Oh," her face burned at the memory of what had happened barely twenty minutes ago. "Yeah, we're all good." She awkwardly sent him a thumbs up, her smile more of a grimace than anything else, and Will looked unconvinced.
"What's really going on, Y/n/n? Because if I need to beat him up-"
"NO! No, don't... don't beat up my boyfriend, please." It felt weird calling Anthony her boyfriend now, despite it being more real than it ever had been before. "Really, we're fine."
"Fine? You're fine? What did you two talk about upstairs? Because I'm pretty sure I heard shouting."
"We were just..." At the look on her brother's face she trailed off, and glanced at the door to make sure it was closed. "What exactly did Mum say when she got off the phone with me a few days ago?"
"What do you mean?"
"When she told people that I had a boyfriend, what did she say? How did you find out?"
"Mum went into the kitchen to take your call because we were all in here playing board games, and then we heard her shout 'You have a boyfriend?!' and Linda went to investigate, and then you turned up with Lover Boy."
"And are you sure that Mum wasn't just... making it up for some reason?"
"Why would she make it up?"
"Because I didn't have a boyfriend, Will."
"But... if you don't have a boyfriend then why the hell are you making out with your boss?"
"We are not making out!"
"Sure. But when you kissed yesterday under that mistletoe," he pointed to where it hung over the library door, "I definitely saw tongue."
"WILL!" She picked up the nearest pillow and chucked it at his head, then hid her face behind her book. "Oh my god, this is not happening."
"Ok, but that still doesn't answer my question," he said after half-heartedly throwing the pillow back at her. "If you didn't have a boyfriend, then why is your boss here saying that you're dating?"
"Because I made him. We actually can't stand each other. Or, we couldn't. We made up. Ugh, this is complicated. We have hated each other for about three years and then when Mum said very loudly that I was bringing my boyfriend to Christmas in front of Linda I didn't have much of a choice but to bring someone or face utter humiliation. Apparently nobody wanted to go to the middle of the countryside for three days with a complete stranger and pretend to be her boyfriend so I had to ask Anthony because George was already busy, and honestly I think we did a pretty good job of hiding the fact that we hated each other."
"And the shouting was you making up? Or were you angrily making out?"
"Will! Fuck's sake! Making up. I did tell him he's got a lot of grovelling to do, but now we're actually together."
"So you did make out."
"What's with the weird obsession about whether or not I'm making out with him?"
"I just like making you uncomfortable. That's my job."
"Well quit your job and get a different one." They sat in silence for a while, just staring out the window at the dark landscape. Although she knew that Will couldn't see them, she still pointed out the few ghostly figures that she saw. Her Sight wasn't nearly as good as Anthony's when she wasn't using her Touch, but she could still make out the glowing shapes in the fields.
"While we're on the topic of jobs... I'm guessing you're not leaving the company anymore," he said after a while.
"What?" she asked, startled by his words. "What do you mean?"
"I heard you at dinner, Squeak. You said you were gonna leave the company. I didn't hear anything else 'cause Nanna Jean was talking to me about her garden again for like, the eighth time today, but when I heard you say that... I dunno. You love your job, and I didn't think there was anything that would make you leave it."
"I wouldn't have stopped being an agent, I would have just moved company. He said a lot of mean things, and in fairness I said some horrible shit too, but he's not got that much power over me."
"Squeak... are you sure you wanna be dating him? If he hurt you so bad that you wanted to leave the company then I don't know if it's the best idea," Will frowned, concern in every inch of his body.
"I know. If he fucks this up then I am leaving. Properly. Because I know that it's not... ugh, I don't know. I was just tired of not being treated in the same way that he treated the others, and he's explained why he was like that, and he was weirdly similar to a puppy when he apologised - not that that convinced me to date him, by the way - and I really hurt him too, over the years."
"Just... out of interest... what exactly did you say to each other that made you start hating each other this much?"
"I was walking back from a solo case, walked into him, apologised, stepped on his shoes, and he told me that he'd just bought them in the most stuck-up voice I had ever heard and it pissed me off." Will stared at her.
"That's... it?"
"To be fair I then went for an interview at his company, didn't realise it was him, and the moment I walked in he went 'we don't want agents like you' or something, so... you know!"
"Okay... that's still not a lot though. You really started what, three years of hatred based on... on that?"
"Well, when you put it that way it sounds stupid, but-"
"No, no 'buts', missy," Will said, waggon his finger at her. "It is just plain stupid. Did you actually hurt each other or were you too busy being idiots?"
"In fairness I really struggle with keeping up to other peoples' standards, alright?! And it did hurt that nothing I did ever seemed to be enough to make him like me!"
"With the way he was talking about you, he definitely likes you. And thinks you're good enough. You have nothing to worry about there, that's for sure." Y/n flushed at Will's words, thinking back to what she'd overheard Anthony say in this same room the day before.
"So explain to me your feelings on this? Because I feel like you went through every emotion known to man just now."
"I initially thought you two were great together because you're a lot more confident in yourself when he's around, then you told me you weren't together and I was incredibly confused, then you told me that you hated each other and I was even more confused, then you told me that you are actually together now and I was happy, and then you told me that he was horrible to you and I wanted to beat him up, and then you told me that you stepped on his shoes and that's why you hate each other and I was confused again. Make sense?"
"Just about. It wasn't just me stepping on his shoes that-"
"Nope!" Will turned his head away, lifting his hand out in front of him to stop her. "I don't want to hear anymore of this silliness, thank you very much!"
"But it-"
"Nope!" Will pushed forward, grabbing the pillow that he had earlier thrown back to Y/n and whacked her around the head with it. "Nope, nope, nope!" Each 'nope' was punctuated with another hit, and Y/n barely had time to pick up the other pillow and fight back before he was swinging again.
~~~
"Hey," Y/n whispered to Anthony as she came over. He had been sat in the loveseat again (he was almost completely certain that Y/n's family were leaving it specifically for the two of them to use, since her five siblings were squished up on one of the sofas most of the time), and he put down his mug of tea to help her sit comfortably.
"Hi," he whispered back, immediately wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her back to curl into him. She brought her legs up to hook over his and was turned sideways in the seat, her head nestling into his shoulder. He picked up his tea again and was about to take a sip when Will burst into the living room, board game in hand and a slightly crazed look in his eyes.
"We're playing Yahtzee! Everybody take a sheet, you don't have a choice in this!"
"Is this the one you're terrible at?" Anthony asked, speaking quietly into Y/n's ear, and he chuckled when she slapped his arm.
"You can't be terrible at Yahtzee, Anthony, it's a fucking dice game. It's based on luck, idiot."
"Oh, right, silly me. I meant charades. That one you are truly awful at."
"Just because you get really into it and put on ridiculously large hats doesn't mean I'm awful at it," she responded indignantly. "Also, by the way, the use of props is against the rules of charades, so technically you've lost every single one you've done."
"I have not!" he jokingly started, putting on an accent and pretending to be mad. "I am the best at charades! How dare you accuse me of- mmph!" Y/n shut him up by pressing a kiss to his lips, and while he sat there for a moment with his eyes wide open and his posture incredibly tense, he quickly relaxed into it. He still wasn't used to kissing her, and he didn't think that he ever would be, and when she pulled away a few seconds later he was left to chase after her mouth while she giggled.
"Sure, whatever makes you happy, Ant." That was another thing he'd never get used to. The way she said his name. He didn't think he'd heard anything sweeter, and then she was laughing at something one of her family members had said and he realised that he would spend his whole life documenting which of all the things she did was the most heavenly.
"You're what makes me happy, darling," he mumbled, not expecting her to hear. She looked round at him, surprise on her face. He thought she might say something nice in response, but instead when she opened her mouth something else came out.
"You are so cheesy, Anthony Lockwood."
"I'm just getting started, darling. Like you said, I have a lot of grovelling to do. I hope you're ready for how cheesy I can be." Y/n wrinkled her nose in disgust, but the wide grin on her face gave her away.
"That sounded weird," she said, and he leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to her nose. He shrugged in response.
"You're just going to have to get used to it, I'm afraid."
"Good. Hopefully you'll finish all the grovelling needed by the time you're about thirty, then."
"I'm grovelling every second of every day if it means I get to keep you near me, darling," he replied, and he revelled in the flush that crept up her neck. He accepted his score sheet from Will (who was getting very serious about the game, making sure that nobody would be cheating by using loaded dice), and took a sip of tea.
Then he nearly spat it out when he fully registered what Y/n had said.
"Thirty?!"

CHAE. SOFT SERVICE DOMS WITH SUB BRATS. PLEASE. I AM STARVING.
no but fr. thinking about a real bratty character being hella confused. what are you doing? canā€™t you see theyā€™re purposefully trying to rile you up?? why are you still so gentle???
ā€œiā€™m sorry, my darling, but iā€™d hate to see you treated harshlyā€¦ā€
but other than that, you give in to literally every demand, no matter hos ridiculous????
so theyā€™re just laying there. dumbfounded. flabbergasted, even, as you continue to praise and worship literally every inch of their body. kisses to their spine (if theyā€™re laying on their stomach), feeling the soft fluttering of your lips on their wrists. their arms, every knuckle on every finger ā€” fuck, you even gave kisses to their calves.
and yeah, they like the softness, but maybe some brats just canā€™t take it and straight up beg for you to get on with it already. to drop your loving demeanor and fuck them properly dammit!
i just wanna watch a brat squirm in confusion because theyā€™re not used to being treated that way before either
1.) becoming spoiled by the attention and their brattiness in and out the bedroom gets even worse as you exalt them further
2.) all their pride goes out the window as they beg you to ruin them
3.) the scene gets really emotional because theyā€™re not used to affection
AHHHHHHHH THIS CAN GO SO MANY WAYS AND CAN FIT SO MANY CHARACTERS BUT I NEVER SEE THIS DYNAMIC šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
OMG I LOVE THIS CONCEPT
they're so confused like why are you treating them so soft right now? you're supposed to be punishing them, making them cry. thats the whole reason why they're being bratty!
"why are you being so nice right now?" "what do you mean? i'm just trying to make you feel good."
when you worship their body, praising them all sorts of ways that make them flush red and making their stomach stir with butterflies, they can't help but like it
their mind becomes cloudy with the praise and gentle touches and soon they're whining at you to stop it with the teasing and just fuck them till they cant think anymore
and so ofc you do, praising them and cooing when they beg for you to let them cum

ok since the last one blew up I figured I would do this again so
TED LASSO EPISODE 3 THOUGHTS:
diversity win! the silly ridiculous welsh man on your favourite football team is gay!
no but in all seriousness the colin storyline is really interesting, I like that theyā€™re kind of playing this storyline as him not being out to the team and maintaining the sort of heteronormative facade that is expected in the very dude bro culture of football BUT without the internalized homophobia element this time which is normally included. like he doesnā€™t *seem* to be repulsed by his own sexuality in any way and his boyfriend is more than willing to sit with him for a night pretending to be just friends so I really like that theyā€™re a healthy couple who seem to respect each otherā€™s boundaries with sexuality
I also think ultimately, even if he slips up or is tempted to do something with this information, that TRENT WILL DO THE RIGHT THING IN TRENT WE TRUST
rebecca hinting at her psychic appointment and ted appearing immediately WORK WITH ME HERE SOULMATISM also noticed that thigh touch oop-
roy training jamie??? oh this is going to be comedic GOLD
itā€™s definitely bad that jamieā€™s right though. like, actually right about something for once???
zava is a much different kind of diva then expecting, in that heā€™s not so much a diva as he is a cult leader. uhhā€¦. adorable! šŸ˜€
also wait MMM THE PSYCHIC TROPE OMG IMA EAT THAT UP EVERY TIME also guys. guys I can already smell the reactions to the green matchbook thing coming from miles away. we donā€™t need to worry! the matchbook was literally the first thing she mentioned of many things, it in no way means sambecca is endgame so we can all breathe. the family rebecca is a mother to is the AFC richmond family of course!!! and the shite in nining armour is most likely the guy that the whole of england has been calling names since his arrival, mr ted lasso himself!!
also OOH OMG SHEā€™S PREDICTING THE WATER SCENE WHERE REBECCAā€™S GOING TO FALL IN and the way she grabs rebeccaā€™s hands when she says ā€œbut youā€™re safeā€ calling it now that ted will pull her out and make her feel safe sifjsifkskfkd šŸ„ŗ
michelle dating her former marriage councillor is all kinds of weird and YES, unethical!! thank you to sassy for pointing that out! we love her for it
final comment: samā€™s restaurant seems like SUCH a vibe oh my god Iā€™m so proud of my baby for creating a community out of bits of his culture from his home, trying to bring home to england and celebrate with his richmond family ugh his big heart I canā€™t šŸ˜­

Hiii, I think these days I've been thinking about how jeonghan would react to you being an actress, specifically if you acted as ghostface in scream 6
šŸ™Œ
mf would be giggling and kicking his feet thinking u looked saur sexy šŸ˜­
ā†ŗ 0.3k words, fluff, f!actress!reader also iā€™m ngl Iā€™ve never seen scream so iā€™m getting the info about overall plot points from a 30 second scan of the wiki page šŸ˜žā˜šŸ¼
You looked over at Jeonghan, giggling to yourself at how engrossed in the movie playing on the screen.
Youā€™d finished the shooting for the movie ā€˜Screamā€™ and your director, Mingyu, sent you a copy of the final product, allowing you to see it before the official premiere.
Your boyfriend was always a fan of the series of movies and was probably more excited than you when you landed the part, constantly asking you to give him as many sneak peaks as you could.
His eyes were currently transfixed on the scene, moments before where you knew the huge plot twist would be.
You watched as his eyes grew wide seeing your character be the one behind the ā€˜Ghostfaceā€™ mask, his head whipping around immediately and you laughed at how his mouth fell open.
You didnā€™t give him too many details of what your character did in the movie, wanting him to properly enjoy it when he sees it, and it looked like he was pleased with the surprising turn of events.
After about another half an hour, the credits started to role and you quickly shot a text to your director, telling him he did a great job before your boyfriend stole your attention.
ā€œYou were Ghostface?ā€ He asked hysterically, a ghost of a smile on him. ā€œThatā€™s so cool, I donā€™t know how Iā€™m not going to end up telling any of the guysā€
You giggled, knowing he wouldnā€™t really spill the plot to any of his friends. ā€œYou liked it?ā€
ā€œLiked it? You were great!ā€ Jeonghan laughed, ā€œyou were easily the prettiest Ghostfaceā€
You laughed again at his ridiculous comments, settling your head on his shoulder while you looked for a different movie to watch.
ā€œTheyā€™re better than me I wouldā€™ve folded the minute you took the mask offā€ Jeonghan told you suddenly.
You looked at him again, amused glint in your eye, ā€œletā€™s just be glad youā€™re not a character in that movie babeā€

q!Forever & q!Bad, comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin
(little meta rp analysis & appreciation)
Comedy and tragedy- complimentary concepts when it comes to the dynamic that is these two characters.
Their lore together is truly like a soap opera to me in the way it operates, entertaining in how goofy it is- I laughed so much during interrodate. They had a whole elaborate musical prank war over a stolen gun (which neither of them even had, theyā€™re just too dedicated to the bit.) The first thing they say to each other after q!Forever returns from the nether is ā€œYou look terrible!ā€ šŸ’€ and my guy gifted a bloody chainsaw as the flower of the day to q!Bad in purgatory 1 which was happily accepted.
Even when the characters show attraction for each other, itā€™s usually through some ridiculous romcom thing. q!Forever is in love with q!Bad dressed as pink barbie and thinks photos of her are the best gift a person could ever receive?? šŸ¤Ø q!Bad daydreams about q!Forever as a lobster with blonde hair and a six-pack??? brother be projecting him onto larry the lobster from spongebob squarepants dude what is wrong with them šŸ˜­ sometimes I wonder how theyā€™re able to do all these bits in improv and take it seriously, itā€™s impressive
The characters are not normal, their relationship is not normal, it cannot be viewed normally. the ccs know exactly what theyā€™re doing in creating whatever *gestures* this is, and itā€™s amazing. over the top, cute, played perfectly for comedy
But the characters arenā€™t just that, you canā€™t have them without the inverse šŸŽ­ like a punch to the gut after all the sillies, they really know how to do tragedy well.
I very much look forward to whenever theyā€™re at the top of their angst game, bc they both LOVE to make their cubitos suffer. to an insane degree. My god these two canā€™t go 3 days with their characters experiencing some peace and joyful whimsy, they *must* rp their ocs actively dying, horribly diseased, going crazy
And they go hard with it. Iā€™m very serious when I say multiple times during the lore Iā€™ve had to get up and walk away to calm down because it was too intense. super special shoutout to the q!Forever first happy pills arc stream & October 1st q!Bad psychotic breakdown stream. Iā€™ve never been so shocked as I was watching those live, the stamina to do highly emotional rp like that is actually nuts. some of the most angsty mfs on this server fr (the #1 spot goes to quackity though. hey maybe iā€™ll make a tierlist)
So when Bad & Forever bring the best of their angst ability into serious rp interactions together that Arenā€™t comedicā€¦? we are in for a treat. that talk they had right when q!cellbit died to the code, the richas rescue mission, the election, voting arguments, post-ron kidnapping, colorblind test/therapy, flower of the day. many scenes that are seared into my mind, but none is more so than The Happy Pills Proposal. goosebumps whenever I think about itā€¦ the scene ever. the way it was framed, the lines they said, how it had tense, chilling buildup before a literal explosion. how are these people capable of doing the most silly things and then turning around to stab us in the heart 50 times
So you bet Iā€™m crossing my fingers for a meeting between @v@ & q!Bad. Forever is absolutely killing the role so far. If q!Bad gets involved I can already taste the glorious angstā€¦. since he has specific traumatic experience in also being possessed, & having killed his possessed friends in another life. he recalled the memory when talking about how to save q!Forever last night. fun! *shaking*
anyways thatā€™s all :D love these characters, I had been wanting to do a little meta appreciation post for a while so I thought why not now ^^

On the topic of Raphael and him "being bad in bed".
Okay I'm only ever going to talk about this at length once and then never again. I've been avoiding talking about it until now because bringing it up always just seems to keep this topic in circles and it becomes an endless pit of nothing.
First of all, I know most of the time (like maybe 70% of the time) it's for the lolz. I get it. Hell, Raphael fans will be the FIRST to quip about this.
BUT
For those taking it seriously one way or another... It becomes such old hat VERY fast.
Those who use it as a jab towards Raphael havers are... Kinda dumb. Because it's like... Okay, and? You act as if somehow negates the entirety of his character somehow just because "HAR HAR HANDSOME DEVIL MAN IS BAD AT SEX" and it's so... vapid and boring? Also it seems a lot of people keep thinking "bad at sex" = JUST that he finishes too fast and nothing else but they seem to forget that the player character came up with that insult on the spot (rather than seeing it as a commentary about his pure selfishness and where it stems from). Haarlep is also a bias source. There's a semblance of resentment from them AND they're a damn incubus. EVERYONE'S terrible in bed in comparison (have you seen Tav? Little shit just lays there like a sack of potatoes during the Haarlep scene). This isn't me saying "Oh it means Raphael is terrific in bed because Haarlep's word cannot be trusted". HELL, no. Quite the opposite, actually. I'm saying "okay... What can I glean from that set of information?"
I feel like this goes for Raphael havers too who have this conversation. I feel like many tend to fall into this trap of odd desparity when they realise that "oh no our magnificent hot man is bad at sex" and somehow treat it as if it's forever a caveat and somehow negates the ENTIRETY of Raphael as a complex character. My first reaction when I got this information during House of Hope was laughing and then going "mmm that's so interesting and adds such a great layer to this already amazing character. Where else can I take this to". In fact, House of Hope as a quest does SO much in adding all these tidbits that make Raphael not just another boring, all knowing, god like, ineffible character. It made me love and appreciate his character even MORE. instead of going in circles and lamenting in how this is somehow "the worst thing ever", I think it's way more fun to explore it and delve into where the root of his narcissism and self esteem issues come from. The dichotomy and complexes of his character. There's SO much to talk about there and yet we're still just stuck on "haha devil man is a bottom and bad in bed" (which is another ridiculous thing btw because people seem to misconstrue bottoms as JUST being submissive. Y'all need to be more open minded šŸ˜‚).
Apologies if this came off as ranty/condescending maybe. But it's coming from someone who's just minding her own business but have to see a variation of that line CONSTANTLY in the notes/tags on my art/gif posts and as I said... It gets so old REALLY fast. Like please be more imaginative than this, I beg of you. šŸ˜­

ABYSS RAZOR W LOVE LANGUAGES
Abyss Razor x gn reader
Pt 1 | Pt 2
A/N: I was gonna do loser so hcs but i keep getting annoyed bc i wanna improve my writing but dk what to do bye ANYWAY I JUST CAUGHT UP WITH THE ANIME AND OUEUEU šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Im down bad even more they animated the scenes so well hes so kewt
Mostly not established relationship outside of the ā€œas you get closerā€ sorry im a sucker for the slowburn also oh my god i have to make this two parts why is it so long ill write part two laterrer
Tumblr media
GIVING From best to worst (more utc)
1. Acts of Service:
This is his specialty for sure; he just feels as if he has to be useful to you and if he isnā€™t then you wonā€™t want him anymore. Acts of service are the only thing he can do without stammering or messing up in some way and itā€™s the only one heā€™s confident with too. It comes naturally to him tbh he:
- Reminds you of things you need to do even if you only mentioned it to him once in passing
- Brings extra materials or snacks with him if you often forget to bring those things
- Organizes your stuff if he notices your bag and/or your room is messy
- ALWAYS asks if you need help with anything and will do that even if u just tell him to relax heā€™d instead start trying to help YOU relax
Even as he gets more comfortable with you, excessively partaking in acts of service is something he just canā€™t shake which isnā€™t a bad thing! Its his love language afterall, but you just wish heā€™d stop worrying about if heā€™s being useful enough and just do what comes naturally. With more reassurance and time he will eventually start to slow down more though.
2. Gift Giving:
I think his gift giving usually comes with his acts of service like bringing snacks. He also just gives you a lot of small gifts because he wants you to know how much you mean to him but he really canā€™t put it into his words and even if he could theres no way he could articulate it out loud. Some things he gives you includes:
- Origamiā€” I feel like origami is sth he does when heā€™s bored but even so, he puts the utmost love and care into each of his creations so giving them as gifts is sth reserved for the people closest to him
- Snacksā€” This one is simple he just cares about u and gets concerned if it seems like u arenā€™t eating enough or if ur hungry but without food
- A Deck of Cardsā€” ODDLY SPECIFIC but I feel like heā€™d want you to have one so you and him can play cards even if he forgets his. I think even though he usually plays for Abel he does really enjoy physical games like cards and dominoes etc. like playing cards is how he bonds with people
- Accessoriesā€” Now this is RARE bc to him this is reallll bold but under the right circumstances he will give you things like earrings if your ears are pierced or a bracelet or charm (MOST likely the far latter). He sees a lot of accessories that remind him of you and its a little ridiculous, heā€™ll buy them but because itā€™s very bold he either wonā€™t give it to you and wait for the ā€œright momentā€, give it to someone else to give to you or just leave it somewhere in your room when heā€™s there
As you grow closer Abyss will get more comfortable with giving you bigger things and will lean more into the accessories when gift giving. He might even feel bold enough to give you the plush he won while koala snotting with Mash.
3. Quality Time:
I was gonna put this one at #2 but I had an epiphany. I fear in the beginning stages Abyss would definitely try to keep you at arms length because of his eye. Oh especially if you met him while he was wearing an eyepatch and didnā€™t know about his eye; in fact, he feels guilty because he feels like heā€™s tricking you by being around you at all. Not only this but he has to split his time between you and Lord Abel as well so. However he does feel a little selfish with you and he really does like you so he spends time with you when:
- In the Forestā€” Just being alone with you in the forest takes the weight of social pressure off of him. Itā€™s almost like the forest is keeping a secret between you and him. He doesnā€™t have to worry about whether or not people would avoid you seeing you with him nor does he even have to think about his eye or if youā€™d accept it, he can just live in the moment and enjoy reading with u
- In Classes no one else he knows attendsā€” Similar to the forest itā€™s like keeping a secret but this time itā€™s specifically because none of his friends are here to see him acting so selfishly.
- Heā€™s Jealousā€” Now he wont say anything buttt when heā€™s jealous Abyss will stick to you like a bad habit although still keeping you at a short distance. He just feels like he needs to be with you atm donā€™t mind him.
- You Reassure Himā€” Similarly, when you assure him that you donā€™t mind his reputation or eye (if you know) it makes him want to be around you more and all of that day heā€™ll be around you more than usual. Heā€™s so grateful just to have met you and for you to say all that? Heā€™s over the moon; he almost feels like he can finally breathe freely
As time goes on he definitely gets insanely good at this considering he loves being around you and the only thing holding him back is his insecurity. I def think that once youā€™ve been dating a long time or married he clings to you like crazy and even in the beginning stages once heā€™s gotten comfortable with you heā€™d follow you like a lost puppy even though his behavior is more catlike lol
4. Physical Touch:
Heā€™s not very good at touch Iā€™m ngl he can barely form words around you let alone touch you šŸ˜­. BUT. He does sometimes put the moves on you without noticing and he does try his best. This would include:
- Playing with ur hair when youā€™re alone or fixing it if he notices it got a bit messed up
- Fixing/Tidying up ur clothes between classes if he notices sth wrong like you tying your tie wrong or if the way you tied your bow was a little crooked (idk why I just think heā€™d be insanely good at tying bows/ties I bet he ties Abelā€™s for him too that boy can NOT tie a tie without it looking a little goofy)
- Resting his hands on your back or shoulders when you hug him. Now this seems like normal behavior but its A LOT for him ok his heart is pounding but he really does enjoy being in your arms
- Patting your head awkwardly or holding your face (if heā€™s feeling bold) when youā€™re upset bc he doesnā€™t know what to do but all he knows is he wants you to feel better and that he misses your smile
As time goes on he slowly gets better with physical touch but honestly he gets better VERY slowly like even if he can handle your advances Iā€™m not sure heā€™ll be able to initiate things like kissing until marriage LOL ok well thats a bit much but youā€™ll have to have been in a relationship for a while
(Also a silly little tidbit when he initiates physical touch he gets it from you. For example he holds your face because youā€™ve held his face before and he never felt more at peace so he wanted to give you that same feeling)
5. Words of Affirmation:
Well. Speaking words isnā€™t one of his strong suits especially to someone heā€™s infatuated with. HOWEVER his sincerity is unmatched when he does manage to say something. Usually when he speaks words of affirmation they arenā€™t direct words of love like ā€œI love youā€ or anything like that but it is always very sweet. He says things like:
- ā€œThank you.ā€ ā€” He never stops thanking you and apologizing šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ He just needs you to know that he knows heā€™s so lucky to have you and that he would never EVER take you for granted
- ā€œItā€™s an honorā€ ā€” He says this OFTEN everything he gets to do with you is an honor because he feels as though he doesnā€™t deserve you; he canā€™t give you all that you deserve yet you stick by his side with no hesitation? He feels blessed; even wonders if The Lord (tm) Abel has something to do with this. Heā€™s just so happy and most of all, grateful
- ā€œIā€™m so glad to have met youā€ ā€” This is one that he often mumbles under his breath when youā€™re being sweet to him; his feelings just swell in his heart at that moment and he lets it slip from his mouth
- ā€œI need youā€ ā€” He only said this like one (1) ā˜ļø time but im running out of words ok ANYWAY heā€™d say this to you only in critical moments like in the heat of the moment if you had been badly injured and youā€™re just barely hanging on. Besides this under normal circumstances, heā€™d say this while asking for your forgiveness after he had been avoiding you for a long time out of insecurity and youā€™re mad at him
As time goes on he gets MUCH better with words of affirmation and has been consciously making an effort to say more because he doesnā€™t want you to ever think that he doesnā€™t love you or isnā€™t proud of you. Itā€™s so often in your beginning dating stage that heā€™ll stutter something incomprehensible and then give up and try again later going, ā€œA-about earlierā€¦(incomprehensible stuttering)ā€ (heā€™s trying to say I love you or Iā€™m proud of you or something similar but he couldnā€™t quite find the words)

Piningā€™s for trees.
Four x reader:mutual pining.
A/n:for the Lovely anon who asked for reader and four pining over each other. The name of it is lame I know šŸ˜­ but I worked it into the story in a cute way! Also this isnā€™t proofread šŸ’€
Tumblr media
It was killing the both of you. Stolen glances from across the camp, oneā€™s stare boring holes into the other as you both went about your tasks. Things left unspoken, unknownā€”honestly it was killing everyone.
The rest of the chain was so bored and annoyed with how you and the smith were acting. Honestly! It was ridiculous! It was obvious the two of you were smitten for each other, so sweet Hylia, for her sake and theirs, just confess!
But, noā€¦ no, no no no. That was far too easy. You two had to be content with daydreaming about each other so much you didnā€™t listen to plans, or calls for dinnerā€¦ it was sickening.
Currently, you were on one side of the camp trying to figure out how to weave a daisy chain and four, as always, was fixated on you and the beautiful and intricate way your hands delicately held the stems of the flowers, weaving them in and out of each other. You were incredible. He wondered how someone could be soā€”so perfect. He almost hated how he thought about you. Wellā€”not really. He just hated how he wondered how your hands would feel in his hair, or your lips on his. He shouldnā€™t be thinking like that when you werenā€™t hisā€”but Din, there he was; watching you make a crown for the royalty he certainly thought you were, and thinking about how your hands would hold his face and tell him how much you love him.
Somebody had to do something. Fast. The others couldnā€™t take this anymoreā€¦
ā€œSmith.ā€ The old man called and he was snapped for his thoughts.
ā€œHm???ā€ He asked, now more alert than heā€™d been all day.
ā€œYou and y/n go do some scouting. We need a lay of the landā€¦.and while youā€™re out thereā€¦ do us all a favor and tell them your feelings.ā€ He grinned. ā€œItā€™s sickening to watch you two pine back and forth. Piningā€™s for the trees.ā€
The old man watched with a laugh as the smithā€™s face bloomed a bright red and he nodded nervously and stood, walking over to you.
ā€œHeyā€”ā€œ he cleared his throat. ā€œHey, y/nā€¦ā€
You looked up with a soft smile. ā€œHi, smithy.ā€ Smithyā€¦ that was almost as good as hearing his own name from you. Almost.
ā€œAhā€”hiā€¦uhmā€”the old man wants us to go scope out the landā€¦ I guess checking for monsters or something before we pack up and moveā€¦ probably to get the best route in mindā€¦.ā€
ā€œOh! Yeahā€”sure!!ā€ You stood, gently keeping hold of the unfinished crown and putting the other daisies into a bag that rested on your shoulder and against your hip. You walked with him in what you thought was comfortable silenceā€”but he was freaking out internally. Itā€™s not that you werenā€™t freaking out, you were just better at not letting it show than he was. He always prided himself on being stoic, but in reality he had one of the worst poker faces youā€™ve ever seen.
ā€œHey, are you okaā€”ā€œ
ā€œIā€™m in love with you.ā€ He blurted and smacked a hand over his mouth. He watched mortified as your eyes widened.
ā€œYou-ā€¦what?ā€
ā€œIā€”Iā€™m sorry I-ā€¦. I didnā€™t mean to justā€”ā€œ
ā€œAre you being serious?ā€
ā€œā€¦.yes..?ā€ He got even more nervous, if that was even possible.
ā€œIā€™m in love with you tooā€¦ā€
ā€œWait, really??ā€
You just giggled. ā€œYes, reallyā€¦ Iā€™ve been stuck in a rut for so long with my feelings for youā€¦ you havenā€™t felt those holes drilled into your back with how much Iā€™ve stared?ā€
ā€œI could ask you the same thingā€¦ā€ he laughed. As did you. ā€œSoā€¦ all in favor of exploring these feelings..?ā€
You both raised your hands.
ā€œAll opposed..?ā€
Nothing but the wind blowing through the leaves of the forest, shaking down leaves to fall around you like something out of a movie scene.
ā€œIā€™ll take that as a no.ā€ He grinned proudly. Finally. No more longing stares and stolen glances. From now on, it would be sitting beside each other, and glances followed by winks and blushing. Pining is for trees, and you two are the lovebirds that sit on the branches.

just rewatched pride and prejudice 1995 and i loved it, even more than before! here are some thoughts:
- the best thing about this adaptation is, to me, the performance of jennifer ehle as elizabeth. honestly, she nails everything about her character, in my opinion. from lizzyā€™s wit and sense of humor to her firm resolution in rejecting darcy the first time and dealing with lady catherine, while also displaying all her conflictimg emotions not only during the whole wickham affair, but also when she found herself longing for darcyā€™s good opinion (who knows why!). she was absolutely charming and one canā€™t help but root for her.
- this might be obvious, but i love how it is pretty much the same as the book! itā€™s very clear that having six episodes worth of screen time instead of two hours as you get in movies played in their favor.
- i love the bennets! i love seeing the sisters interact! i love seeing them in their daily lives and watching their dynamics. i also think they got almost all of the characterizations perfectly. lydia, kitty, mary and mrs. bennet were all on point! however i do feel like they toned down mr. bennetā€™s flaws and only focused on the funny/sarcastic side of his character. other than that, i liked him too :)
- iā€™ve seen many people who donā€™t like this mr. collins but honestly i really enjoyed him. he was ridiculous and absurd, and he annoyed the fuck out of everyone, which is accurate lol. i do wish theyā€™d made him age appropriate bc... that man is not 25 lol. anyways, i actually thought this collins was more accurate than 2005!collins.
- oh, caroline, you sneaky thing! i have nothing to say about her, really. i think she was portrayed very accurately as well. and they included the hursts!
- mr. bingley was good too! love me some golden retriever energy
- and, of course, how could i not talk about colin firth as darcy! he was DISGUSTED to be around common gentry people. he looked like heā€™d rather hang himself from the ceiling than be in those goddamn social gatherings for one more minute. he was so displeased with everyone and clearly thought they were nothing but a pain in his ass, and i love that lol.
- but OH MY heā€™s a simp! he canā€™t stop staring at elizabeth for the life of him. istg he is so fascinated by her. that scene at rosings when lizzy is talking to colonel fitzwilliam and darcy just stared at them while she roasts the fuck out of him????? top tier
- one thing i adored about his performance was just how miserable he looks when she isnā€™t around! and mind you, this is DARCY weā€™re talking about.
- the lake scene was great, but CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT LOOK THEY GAVE EACH OTHER IN THAT ONE SCENE???? YES, THAT LOOK. YALL KNOW WHAT Iā€™M TALKING ABOUT. IT MAKES ME WEAKKK
- the ONLY note that i have is that i wish he smiled more, especially when they meet after the letter (but before that too)
- honestly the only bad thing i have to say about this adaptation is that the second proposal felt a little... underwhelming. itā€™s supposed to be this big emotional moment why do they look like theyā€™re talking about the weather šŸ˜­
my conclusion: iā€™ve worshipped 2005 since the first time i watched but i feel like iā€™ve just become a 1995 stan, it was just so so good and so faithful to the book. and yes, i finished it two days ago. yes, iā€™ll be rewatching today.

Hello! I just did yet another reread of your comic, so here's a list of random things I love about it!! Sorry if this is a bit uuuhhhh MUCH but I just love your comic a lot, and want to share some of that love, and this seemed like the best way to go about that. So:
-The way Azazel's wings are so fluffy and Jophiel's are so sleek! Your stylization of them is so pretty.
-How you draw Azazel's hands always folded as if in prayer, or fiddling...even though the rest of him is often so still. Very true to Aziraphale, of course, but also fitting of an owl - still and always observing. But still, something that betrays that vigilance.
-Jophiel's honest-to-someone mullet in Mesopotamia. I love him so much. His little curls give me life.
-How Jophiel is always moving, angling his head in funny ways, pulling absurd expressions! He's so fun and mobile, which is just perfect to contrast our very sad and stationary owl.
-just a second being overwhelmed again at the fact that Azazel risked and gave up everything for Jophiel and continues to do so after Falling for him I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine this is fine.
-The way they are so in character in this!! I love reverse AUs but it's very hard to keep them in character in them. You do so flawlessly, to the point that as I find myself trying to imagine future story beats, I struggle to because I just see them acting the way they do in the canon. Stellar writing.
-Jophiel's wink in Mesopotamia. This deserves its own point in this list. As does Azazel finally getting to look happy in the frame after, even if it doesn't last...oh sweet owl...
-Azazel tugging on Jophiel's abaya in Golgatha...completely unnecessary to get his attention, didn't need to pull him closer or anything, but it's like the fiddling of his hands wasn't soothing enough and he needed to reach out in this moment of fear for Jophiel, always asking questions.
-The return of Jophiel's mullet in Heaven! Hell yeah
-help you draw Muriel SO cute.
-Azazel's "I've personally witnessed an Angel become an owl" PLEASE it's so devastating yet so funny
-Every time we get a little frame of just Jophiel's eyes reacting with sorrow and anger at moments when it's so, so clear Azazel was never meant to Fall. His eyes are SO expressive. I don't think your future sunglasses are gonna hide the fact that you're constantly glaring at god my guy.
-I really love the way you draw Jophiel's nose, it's gorgeous!
-Jophiel. Calls. Him. Angel. Need to lie down
-Seriously, I should've anticipated it, and I didn't, that's on me, but my HEART was not READY and I'm obsessed with this scene and its implications. The way Jophiel, deep down, doesn't even see Azazel as a demon ("you were an angel once" "that was a long time ago"). How pleased and adorable Azazel is at being referred to thusly (the little hair poofs!!!). The care they have long held for each other, in its unique and strange manifestations, revealing itself as a tangible burgeoning affection.
-Jophiel's declaration on the most recent page to protect Azazel, having no freaking clue that he's frankly 4500 years late to the game. Glad to have you here, your demon friend has been protecting YOU since before time was invented! Woo...but seriously, such a powerful and touching moment all around.
Anyway, I know this is ridiculously long, but goodness knows long comments on my GO fics always make ME very happy, so I figured you wouldn't mind. ;) I eagerly anticipate every update and bit of art, and when you make this comic into physical form, I will be camping out front of the pre-orders like it's a Black Friday sale. Tent and all. And snacks.
Take care!
šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ THANK YOU!!! This is super super sweet thank you for taking ur time to do this!!! I think Iā€™d create the first physical copy when we finish season one of the show in the story, and then if interest is still high, a second physical copy for when we tackle season 2!

Well I just discovered an interesting GO interview which I couldn't find on YouTub : https://mega.nz/file/b8Aj2bBY#IUSlGm5xawVKMIMup8EBbnXdtytP6qufk04ADY9TuLM
This one just started down a bad rote, with the host getting Michael's name wrong, calling him MartinšŸ˜‚šŸ¤­( not his fault tho, he was clearly reading from Autocue and I don't think M&D noticed or they just played it off nicely)
However, Here are the things I LOVED in it:
1) Michael's answer and how he basically flipped off the interviewer for calling David's costume ridiculous. Both, particularly David, got very offended (and rightfully so it was rude and tactless to insult a beloved character like that.) I adored how MS tried to stay calm, seeing how annoyed David was and came up with this" it was really enjoyable for me cause I get to just look at him looking ridiculous, I use your word, whereas poor David just gets to look at this( gesturing to himself) pretty much the whole time." DT: " It was only a pleasure." self-deprecation combined with sweet praise for David is just ughhhšŸ„ŗā¤ļø
2_ Again David hits the nail on the head with " we looked pretty sensational in that (1800s costume)" and Michael praising him AGAIN with " you looked very dapper" for good measure.
3_ " And I do like a mutton chop," said Michael, cause the host kinda mocked it with his question. He was having none of it that day šŸ˜‚
4_ MS: "the set ( graveyard in Edinburgh) was so beautiful that we looked like a Christmas card. I remember taking pictures and thinking that'll be OUR Christmas card." this picture is out there and I NEED ITšŸ˜­
5_ Was MS serious when he said "My parents were in that scene as well and they got cut"?
He did have that "I'm joking" face on tho, it's unlikely but we didn't have any confirmation from Neil, right?
šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
That first one reminds me of Michael taking all the BAFTAs jokes aimed at David, on himself instead - during the sketch. Not getting the award, not making it in Hollywood. He really is such a husband who doesnā€™t let anyone talk any shite about David, my gosh šŸ˜­ā¤ļø I am glad David has a person like this in his life.
Second oneā€¦ of course Michael never stops himself from complimenting Davidā€¦
Third one no he really had none of it šŸ˜‚
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEIR CHRISTMAS CARD. MICHAEL SHEEN!!!!!!! Theyā€™re so freaking married my goshhhhhhhhhhhh.
Hmmm considering it wasnā€™t said anywhere again about Michaelā€™s parentsā€¦ but maybeā€¦ hmmm.
Aw I want that Christmas card now. You know how we suddenly got the selfies David did, imagine how much there is on their phones that we never get to seeā€¦
