#unrequested opinion
Text
More unsolicited opinions about The Bear s2 but I think the thing that annoys me most about Claire is that her character does such a disservice to women in the ER/Hospital environment and field. I live in a major city, I have friends who are ER doctors in said city and it's unbelievably stressful. The things that they see and hear, how a night can go from easy breezy to treacherous in 6 seconds flat and the dissociation of emotions that you have to do just to get through a week sometimes, it’s rough. The job turn over rate in the ER is high for a reason. And then they bring in a character like Claire who just doesn't seem to represent that at all.
Especially for a show like this where they typically do so much research and you can tell that they put so much into making sure that the characters feel very integrated in “real life”. She never really tells Carmy about her day, be it her stresses or her wins, because she was just so wrapped up in him (which is lovely and all) but it just feels like such weak writing in my opinion (Does she even pass the bechdel test?). I really wish they just explored more of the topic of sexism, misogyny and condescension in the medical field or her family or what brings her character joy (outside of a man) because without it she's just a beautiful woman who's one dimensional as hell when hard work and determination are character traits that are required to be a fucking ER doctor.
I just really wish at some point she told Carmy to shut the fuck up about the restaurant or just take the reins in one of their interactions. Like if I had called my friend on a day we were supposed to hang out and chill from their VERY BUSY schedule and asked them to drive me somewhere to drop something off they would probably drop kick me in the face and I just wanted that energy from Claire. At least once.

tired tired tired
#i'm sorry for continuing to rant here but it's just been a rough week#heavy on the imposter syndrome for one. everyone's just too goddamn talented i feel like i can't keep up#and i've been getting the goddamn panopticon of unrequested feedback from my sfx instructor this week#like. he so badly wants to make sure that i'm caught up and not falling behind. and i appreciate the sentiment behind it#but then it just translates to him hovering over my shoulder offering critique on EVERYTHING#and he's very opinionated just as a whole so even when i'm not stressed out of my mind i get tired of it

Adding my unrequested opinion on Pierre: I don't think Pierre is beautiful, I think he is hot which is a different kind of beauty. He is not the guy I would draw heart shapes around his name, but he is the one I will have crazy dreams about because let's be real he has the hottest body and his chest hair 😩 hate hair in general but his hit different ykwim
Pierre is most definitely hot, like he's not pretty in like a lewis or charles hell even George kind of way but he's hot in a way that has you questioning your choices in life and he's the hot that you have a one night stand with and are proud and shocked you bagged someone like him. He's good looking in the way where you're slightly weary about him until you find out he's a giant doofus
but I love his chest hair and I know @thegrantic has the biggest thing for Pierre's chest hair especially when it comes to that necklace of his resting on it perfectly. Like he's just built different and he'd make me risk it all honestly

⋆｡「 Affection Prompt 3 」⋆｡
◉ Sinopsis; Buying them something unrequested because it made you think of them
◉ Feat; Loona
── ˙•˚∘✮🌙ᯓ🪐˙•˚∘ ──
Loona hates when she's needed for a mission in the Human Realm. I mean, the whole point of being a receptionist is to sit around and do nothing (at least in Loona's opinion). So you can imagine her annoyance when she stepped through the portal and transformed into her human disguise.
Loona's role in jobs is relatively simple. As long as nothing goes wrong, all she has to do is sniff out the targets and report back. Since Blitz, Millie, and Moxxie would handle the rest, Blitz promised Loona that she could have some time to herself
Luckily, their job was in a city, so Loona wouldn't be too bored. After buying coffee, Loona roamed the streets, taking pictures to post on her Sinstagram
That's when she walked by a window display that caught her attention. Sitting in the window was your favorite, limited edition plush. She'd only recognized it because, a week before, you were online shopping and lamented how the plush immediately sold out after being released.
Loona rushed into the store, grabbed the plush from the display, and ran up to the counter. The employees were too intimidated to tell her that the window display wasn't actually for sale. While it was a bit on the pricey side, Loona knew it would be worth it to see the look on your face.
Thankfully, Blitz, Millie and Moxxie were quick, and it wasn't long before they were back in Hell. After work, Loona headed straight to your apartment, holding the plush behind her. When you opened the door, Loona held it out, hoping you'd like the gift.
Maybe "like" is an understatement. You practically tackled Loona to the ground with an excited hug. Your squeals and giggles of delight were all Loona needed to know that buying this gift was absolutely worth it.

"Welcome to real life" I work in literature lol. I just approach fandom differently. But to each their own "reality".
--
Other people said they leave comments about what they did like and just leave out what they didn't.
You projected all over them in a rude and unhealthy way. No amount of appeals to authority are going to change that.
If you want a brutal art school critique session or the honest opinion of an acquisitions editor, fair enough, but that's not what fic comments are, not even in spaces where people leave more unrequested concrit.

Chaeri as the 8th and youngest member of BTS.
Chaeri's Masterlist
❒ warnings: weight loss; unrequested comments about weight
Web article
Mid-2021
The whirlwind of K-pop sensations has always had a crowned jewel, none other than Chaeri from BTS, the siren who has the world wrapped around her perfectly manicured finger. Mesmerizing with her ethereal beauty, breathtaking talent, and performances that ignite the stage, Chaeri's spotlight rarely flickers. But as the years have danced by, a new kind of spotlight shines on her - one that highlights her drastic weight loss, triggering the rumor mill into overdrive.
Gossipy tongues wag furiously as whispers of "why" and "how" reverberate throughout the fandom. Was it the grueling schedule, those taxing training sessions, or a concoction of industry demands that turned Chaeri's physique into a puzzle? The chatter continues to escalate as fans and insiders alike chime in, each weaving their own narrative of her transformation.
The glow of fame is known to cast shadows, and Chaeri's weight loss is now a shadow that casts doubt. Speculations linger like a tantalizing secret: Did she take on a new fitness regimen, or was there a personal twist in the story? It's hard not to wonder whether Chaeri's glimmering success comes at the cost of her well-being.
Chaeri's enigmatic silence only fuels the fire of conjecture. With every dance move she executes flawlessly, and every note she belts out with a voice that seems to touch the stars, the mystery deepens. Is this weight loss a declaration of control, or does it hint at a struggle? The truth remains obscured, like a tantalizing chord left unresolved.
Twitter: Search results on #Chaeri
💭 It's clear that she is struggling with mental and physical health issues, why won't she just admit it and take time for herself?
💭 Chaeri is such a hard-working idol, I'm sure she's doing everything she can to maintain her health. We shouldn't judge her based on her weight
💭 As long as she is happy and healthy, that's all that matters. What she weighs or looks like should be no one's business except her own
💭 Chaeri needs to retire or take a break, she clearly can't handle the stress of being an idol anymore
💭 I can't believe how many people continue to support Chaeri, when her weight loss sets such a dangerous and unhealthy example for young fans. It's irresponsible and shameful
💭 As Chaeri's fans, we should focus on supporting her and helping her maintain a positive and healthy mindset. Let's not contribute to the negative pressure she may be feeling
💭 Chaeri's weight loss shows how desperate she is to remain relevant and how willing she is to conform to unrealistic beauty standards. It's pathetic and sad to see
💭 I hope that she's getting the support and help she needs
💭 It's embarrassing to see how obsessed people are with Chaeri's weight and appearance. It's such a superficial and pointless thing to focus on
💭 Can't people see how harmful this obsession with weight and appearance is? We should all be supporting bodily authenticity and diversity
💭 Her weight loss has made her so unattractive and off-putting
💭 The fact that I used to weigh as much as she does now, and how I constantly felt unwell during that time
💭 I guess it's okay if she's happier, but still...
💭 Her body isn’t your discussion topic.
💭 "fans" now say they are worried about Chaeri's weight are the same ones that bashed her for not being skinny enough in their opinion

I haven't watched the episode yet! 🙃
But let me give my unrequested opinion! 🤭
After watching Tommy kiss Buck and seeing Buck's brain short circuit. 🤪
ME, MYSELF, and I feel that the way Tommy was acting so nonchalant will foreshadow how uncaring he will be in the situationship with Buck. 🫣
Tommy didn't seem excited or eager to go on that date with Buck. 🫥
He ran away instantly. Bring up the fact that he has to work, and then backing awaking from Buxk, to me, is a way to show that he already wants "out" of the relationship. 😭
IT'S JUST MY OPINION!
Bear in mind that I haven't watched any episodes passed season 4. Therefore, take my post with a grain of salt!

For the character ask game- rin
This is gonna be severely limited by the fact that Bad Purple Man isn't a real character but let's go!
First impression
Alight hello mister mysterious antagonist. Are you Huey? I don't really care tbh...
Impression now
I'm pleased with the direction his character seems to be going as of NEON Carnival 2. Still a yandere obsessed with earning Eiden's affection, but it seems like the story will in some way resolve his desire to kill the clan members, making it into milder jealousy. Seems like he might be 'around' but not fully integrated/respected by the others, like a pricklier version of Kuya.
Kolt and the Council of Sorcery will take his place as main antagonists, I think, with Rin actually opposing them in such a way as to help along the redemption/switcharoo.
Favorite moment
Well this is a short list to pick from, at least XD It has to be his voice reveal at the start of the second revel, together with the premise of jinxing everyone with reverse personality magic. That was very fun, and I enjoy his voice. It was also cool when he fought Dante I guess.
Idea for a story
So here's the thing: I'm very canon compliant. My imagination is usually limited by what canon has explored, and I dislike writing speculative fic. I do have a Rin/Rei fic, but it makes heavy use of Rei's PoV and keeps Rin's motives mysterious because I myself don't know them. There's only so much mileage one can get out of that trick! I need to know more about his place in the story and his worldview.
I do get the occasional Rin thought, but it's mostly motivated by wanting to whump wolfboy and knowing that even Kuya might be too soft for it. I've joked about an AU in which Aster summoned Rin instead of Eiden and he's toxic to all the clan members, but I feel that character wouldn't be Rin, just someone's evil OC with Rin's aesthetic.
Unpopular opinion
I think that his relationship to Eiden is some bullshit Square Enix split persona stuff, but if it was actual blood incest I wouldn't care. Gay incest is hot. Please put in the newspaper that Phaerlax said gay incest is hot.
Favorite relationship
He only has one. But it's a good one. I enjoy a good yandere.
Favorite headcanon
To fully serve as a mirror to Eiden (and theoretically fulfill all his desires), Rin is a switch. He brings 'service' vibes to sex but the service is unrequested.

Charlie is Best When He Trusts His Gut
I’m rewatching heartstopper (again) with a focus on Charlie. I love this kid for the confidence with which he approaches his relationship with Nick. His gut reaction is almost always right and he starts to back away when he lets himself or his friends talk him out of what he has personally experienced with Nick. The update from the graphic novel to the screen really takes time to explore this.
There is something between Nick and Charlie by the end of the first episode, and Charlie — not Nick like in the novel— initiates the what turns into their extensive DM exchanges. And he does it with flair with a subtle X after his thank you. Also, in the novel, Nick was the first to send a heart, but in the show, Charlie reads the conversation right and sends it first — at the end of their first DM exchange.
The biggest moment for me is when Charlie has the confidence to ask Nick if he’d ever kiss him. At this point, Charlie has been hit with a barrage of outsider opinions (mostly unrequested) that Nick is unquestionably straight and he is wasting his time crushing on him. Elle, Tao, Isaac, the rugby team — all of them insist Nick is a hetero teenage boy with current crushes on girls. When Charlie tries to share his personal observations that could speak to the contrary, he is told he is wrong. There is literally an intervention to talk him out of his crush.
Despite all this noise, Charlie takes in everything he knows and sees from Nick. He has a sneaking suspicion there might something between them. He’s trusting the increasingly intimate physical contact, the uptick in time spent together, the lingering looks between them — all clear signs to even a casual observer. Yet, people with no personal engagement with these experiences are not giving the person in this situation the respect to trust his own judgment.
Still, for a person who has shown a regular tendency (even in a two-minute span) to talk himself out of a thought, when the opportunity presents itself, Charlie goes for it. How much bravery it takes to turn off the outside voices telling you that you are wrong. Charlie had to react to everything Nick was telling him as it was happening. With no time to process and overthink, he goes for not just one, but two kisses, encouraged by Nick grasping his hand after the first.
The shift in the show from making Charlie popular to “practically an outcast” further bolsters Charlie’s self-doubt and distrust in his gut reaction. We see this at other times (suggesting they go on a date by themselves, asking if they’re boyfriends, inviting Nick over to his house without a specific reason, inviting him to his birthday), and Charlie manages to backtrack before anyone has had a chance to say a word. But he was right. Nick was into each of these ideas.
The value of a relationship with someone you trust is you learn to listen to your own judgment no matter how loud the voices around you are screaming.
He really likes you, Charlie!

Back when season 3 had yet to begin filming, someone on Twitter posted a Tedbecca centric post and as per usual, an anti swooped in with his unrequested opinion. In this instance, his response was a gif of Steve Harvey saying, “OH HELL NAW!”
I saw the response and just shrugged because antis be antis. But the original poster recognized the name of the person as a crew member on Ted Lasso – 2nd Assistant Director Paul Morris. When a few others caught on he responded, clearly a little embarrassed, that he only wanted everyone to be happy, but that he wasn’t a Tedbecca fan.
I remember thinking at that time that was very strange. To see a member of the crew, no matter how high up the food chain they may be, post something either negative or positive towards this ship. Obviously this guy isn’t writing the scripts, but it seemed wildly unprofessional.
I think now the MO around the Ted Lasso team was Jason drilled into their heads since day 1 that Ted and Rebecca were platonic and that was it. They never saw it any other way. They messed around with the fakeouts because Jason Sudeikis is a fucking troll and you can see that in various interviews he’s done.
I’ve been clinging to the image of Brett Goldstein raising his eyebrows at a columnist’s smug dismissal of Ted and Rebecca’s romantic possibilities. Most likely that was an act too. I should have paid more attention to Jane “they are like brother and sister” Becker. Clearly that was what they were going for, but they couldn’t resist sticking that needle in and giving it a little twist at our expense.
There was a recent article posted that stated this has made some of us cower in shame for ever believing in love. I don’t disagree; it’s certainly made me think twice about starting another show that might feature any sense of romance, even though as mentioned that hasn’t really been an issue with me in the past. Still, I will not EVER apologize for believing in love for these two. There was nothing lazy about it. It would have been beautiful and if you never saw it that is fine. But don’t take it away from me. Something I also read in the past few days that I think has helped me tremendously is the fact that as of this past Wednesday (technically 12:15am for me) this show became OURS. It isn’t Jason’s or Brendan’s or anyone else’s on that staff. It is mine and yours and we can do with it whatever we want. I like that.

Look I'm not a caryler but I watch the show since the beginning and I'm seeing the constant discussion here about Melissa and the spin-off and I'm just giving my unrequested two cents, I think you guys are expecting two much from a dead franchise, we all know the only spin off that will make some noise is the Rick and Michonne one and only because people are curious to know what happened to them, AMC needs to capture a new audience, TWD it's their biggest product right now and they don't want to just please segregated fandoms.
Melissa is a great actress that's for sure, no one will question that but her and Carol were never the face of the franchise like Rick, Daryl and Michonne, so it's easy for them to push her aside and make a Daryl centric show, they see how Daryl was always the most popular one and don't twice to make that happened because Daryl is AMC property, they don't have to pay Robert Kirkman and co to use him.
My opinion on her being back it's because she signed a contract and needs to fulfill that, I don't see nothing changing in terms of her and Daryl relationship, it would make sense to make them canon in the mothership show but I don't see them bothering to pull the trigger in the spin off.
To me they will remain best friends and Daryl will stay single with the constant ship baiting.
Sorry if that's too long or if you find disrespectful.
There's a lot to unpack here. Bear with me.
You're confusing "most popular" with most marketed. Just because Melissa doesn't do as much promotion, which is something she gets a say in I should add, does not mean people find her less appealing or less remarkable. Melissa is the 2nd most lauded actor on the show right after Andy. She was the most respected actor on set along with Andy, and everybody wanted to work with her.
“One of those actors that just makes you better because she has no pretence.”—Josh Hamilton
"I love working with Melissa McBride. She's a remarkable actress. You look at her, then you look at the screen and you go – how is this alchemy happening?" —Andrew Lincoln
“One of the strongest actresses I’ve ever worked with…I got lucky because she makes you look so good when you work with her.”—Norman Reedus
She was not kicked out of her own spinoff to adjust to the market. She was kicked out because no one bothered to do any market research at all. If they had, they would've anticipated the insane amount of backlash they got last year. Expecting the majority of fans to welcome a solo Daryl show with open arms says far more about the people calling the shots than it does about Melissa or Carol. It says they're incompetent, biased, and misogynistic. It says they fucked up big time, and if you pay any attention to how they're marketing the spinoff now compared to last year, you might realize there's a huge focus on Melissa and Carol. Granted, they keep fumbling big time and if they don't get themselves organized right fucking now they're going to ruin everything again, but they wouldn't be dangling Carol like a carrot if they didn't think she was going to be an essential part of the show's success. They wouldn't have brought her back at all.
You say she's in S2 to fulfill her old contract, but that's wrong. She signed a new deal that would cover seasons 2-3. I don't know what's in it, I don't trust AMC not to find new and unusual ways to screw over their female talent, but I am 100% sure it was her choice to come back and she had plenty of power to get things she wanted. The excuses "fans" come up with for her being in her rightful place again are ridiculous and very telling.
You say she's less popular, yet you, other Richonne fans, Bethyl fans, and everyone under the sun spend time visiting a Caryl/Carol/Melissa centric blog. Why? If I can manage not to waltz into the Richonne/Michonne tags to try to invalidate their fans' opinions and feelings, why can't those who strongly suggest they aren't fans of Caryl/Carol offer me the same courtesy? Because popularity isn't pure love. It includes those who "love to hate" also.
You are absolutely right that TOWL will get the most buzz compared to Dead City S1 and Le Spinoff S1 and that's because it promises everything Rick/Michonne/Richonne fans have been waiting a really long time for. I have major doubts that Gimple can do right by anyone everyone, but I still hope fans get what they want. The one thing I can't stand about TWD fandom is the insistence on pitting female characters and actresses against each other, which I suspect is the real intention behind this ask. But Carol and Michonne are friends. Melissa and Danai are friends. There is absolutely no reason we all can't support a black woman leading her own show and a woman over 50 leading her own show at the same time.
I agree the best time to make Caryl canon would've been in the flagship show and that Caryl will always be best friends. But that doesn't mean best friends can't also be romantic partners, or that the spinoff can't right the wrongs that were made in S11 for unprofessional reasons, not creative ones.
AMC will not "capture a new audience" with a knock-off version of TLOU or from borrowing American exceptionalism and white male savior tropes from 80's movies. TWDU accounts for too much of AMC's revenue for it to go anywhere right now like you said, so they need to be mindful of their built-in audience. They chose to create different spinoffs for different characters, which means they have to niche down to audiences who are invested in each character's story. Believe it or not, Caryl's fanbase is huge and definitely worth hanging onto, but in order to do that, the show has to meet their needs. Treating Melissa as if she's less than, refusing to make Caryl canon for, again, unprofessional reasons, and shipbaiting relentlessly will just drive them away. So respectfully, I disagree that we're expecting too much (you don't work for the AMPTP, do you?)
I'm sharing this poll as a reminder to never underestimate Caryl's value (I have no interest in starting a ship war).

an unedited, unrequested steve blurb. set in episode 9 so season 4 spoilers below!
Your nimble fingers tremble as you sort through the piles of donated clothing, the plethora of sounds from the busy crowd swarming you from where you stand in the centre of the gymnasium. Your head is all over the place, fatigued and somehow simultaneously hyperactive as you try to piece together the mess of what had happened over the course of the last few days. The last few months. The last few years. All of the above.
Just vaguely, you can make out Steve’s voice; he’s standing beside you, constantly leaning over your body to reach towards the boxes of clothes cluttering the table beside you. Everytime he reaches over, you catch a waft of his cologne; it calms you. You’re not really sure why you can’t listen to him, why you won’t listen to him. He hasn’t done anything wrong, you’re not upset with him. You just wish that time could stop for a moment.
Eddie’s dead, Max is comatosed, the ground holding your entire town together was split open for reasons you can’t say out loud without sounding like a total maniac. Everything is a mess, a complete and total mess, and you can’t escape it. None of that is Steve’s issue, so why can't you just turn to talk to him? Everyone else seems fine; Steve’s still looking out for everyone, Robin’s still making quippy remarks, Nancy’s still as neat and put together as ever; even Dustin, who was forced to watch his new found hero die in arms only two days ago seems to be holding it together better than you. Why were you such a mess?
Sure, you’ve always felt as though you had a strong bond with Max. The urge to protect her from all possible forms of harm had been looming ever since you met her; she was your kid sister, blood or not. Eddie and you seemed to click upon first meeting, you never really knew him in high school; you wish you did. Even though you didn’t know the guy for that long, he might’ve been one of the greatest people you had the pleasure of knowing. He was a good person, and an even better friend. You hate that everyone’s formed their own opinion of him, you hate that he can’t defend himself, you hate that you can’t tell them the truth.
“Hey.” Steve’s jean clad hip nudges your own, eyebrows furrowed as he peers down at you. “You okay?”
No, not okay. I’m not okay. None of this is okay. How are you holding it together so well? “I’m fine.”
He nods slowly, not believing you for even a second. He doesn’t want to push it, you’d only shrug and brush it off. “You want me to come over tonight? I know your parents are out of town, figured you might not want to be alone.”
And you don’t want to be alone. You really truly don’t. In fact, you want Steve to come over and stay with you because the mere thought of having to spend another night alone with your thoughts in that empty house in this eerie town makes you want to hurl. Yet, the thought of him having to watch you when you become the anxious, emotional wreck that you seem to morph into everytime you get more than ten seconds alone makes you even more nauseous.
“Uh.” You pause, sweeping a hand over your forehead as you fold the last pile of clothes from one box, sorting them into sections and placing a fresh box filled with garments on the table in its wake. “I need to get some things for Max from her trailer and bring them to the hospital. Her mom wants me to bring some things for when she wakes up.” If she wakes up.
“I’ll probably stay at the hospital until late.” You continue, placing a yellow blouse in the section labelled ‘womens’. “So…”
Steve gnaws down on the inside of his mouth. Why don’t you want him around? You’re struggling, and it seems as though the last person you want to see is him, when you’re the person who’s been holding him together since this whole thing happened.
“Can I go with you? To the hospital— and the trailer. I know you don’t like driving in the dark anymore; and I don’t really want you to go over there on your own.” He’s rambling, he knows he is. He sounds like an idiot; why is he panicking? He’s your boyfriend, he’s allowed to care.
Please don’t shut me out, he thinks to himself. His eyes pierce holes into your temple as he watches purposely avoid his gaze.
“Erm—“ Your voice wavers, cutting yourself off. You feel like you’re about to cry, because he’s so perfect; so caring and kind and loving and you’re here self sabotaging because you don’t want to burden him. You’re driving yourself crazy and worrying him sick. “I don’t—“
You look at his face, the way his eyebrows are knitted together, the way his under eyes are darkened, the way his right arm is hovering in the air because he wants to pull you in close to him but doesn’t want to smother you. Your eyes water. “Actually, yeah. Yeah, I’d really like that.”
“Yeah?” His face lights up, he tries to bite back the grin on his face but he can’t stop it; he’s getting through to you. You nod. Your tears fall. Great, now you’re crying.
He coos at you, heart aching as your face crumples and you wrap your arms around his neck, burying your head in the crook. He sighs, one strong hand around the back of your head to support you, the other wrapping around your waist to keep you close to him.
Across the room, Robin gazes over at you. She gives Steve an encouraging thumbs up, and he shoots her a weak grin, before he’s pressing gentle kisses against your hairline. It’s almost pathetic to you how easy it is for him to ease your worries. Not everything is fixed, you know that; but having him around makes things a lot easier.
The crowds around you don’t seem as loud, the room doesn’t seem as small, you can breathe again. So can he.
“Steve?” Your head’s nudged against his chest, hands still clutching the fabric of his cotton shirt. He hums. “Can you stay over tonight?”
He lets out an airy chuckle, pulling you in close to him. “‘Course I can.”
(this is literally just me venting about how i feel about s4 ending and steve giving me the comfort i needed bc i’m not ok sorry bye)

Lovesick - Sonny Carisi Imagine (Law & Order: S.V.U)
Title: Lovesick
Pairing: Sonny Carisi X Reader
Word Count: 1,088 words
Warning(s):
Summary: Carisi offers (Y/n) some dating advice, which leads to Rollins offering (Y/n) an unrequested second opinion.
Author's Note: I'm a sucker for stupid shit like this.
---------------------------
I had been disconnected all day.
I was doing the work, getting the job done, but my mind felt like it was on a different planet.
I only started coming back to Earth when a cup of coffee was placed on my desk. I looked up to see Sonny standing next to my desk.
"Looked like you needed it," he shrugged.
"Thanks," I muttered, grabbing the cup. "You're right. Like always."
"Are you alright?"
"Got stood up," I replied. "Again."
"Same guy?"
I nodded.
Sonny and I had been close for a while. He was supportive, verging on protective. I assumed it was a thing he did with everyone. He was the one that I trusted with everything. I never trusted anyone with everything.
"Can I offer some unsolicited advice," he asked.
I nodded. Why the hell not? What's the worst that could happen? I don't take the advice? I get upset at what he says? It's Sonny. I knew that he meant well.
"I think you should drop this guy," he said. "He's not worth the effort. I mean, doubt the dinner would even be worth it."
I chuckled. He was probably right.
"Tell you what, I have an idea," he explained.
"Oh, that's dangerous."
"That was uncalled for."
"Sorry," I held my hands up for a moment. "Alright, what's your idea?"
"Tonight, after work, come over and I'll make you the best dinner you've ever had," he suggested.
"Are you sure?"
"I'd rather make sure you're getting decent food than think about you waiting for that idiot to call again."
I grinned. "Alright, fine. Impress me, Carisi."
"Always do," he called as he stepped away from my desk.
"Don't get ahead of yourself," I replied.
I looked back to the file in front of me, placing the coffee cup back next to me.
"And (Y/n) lights up again."
I jumped when I heard Amanda's voice in my ear.
She smirked at me.
"What's that look for," I asked.
"You and Carisi," she replied. "It's cute. You two talk and now, look at you. Like nothing upset you at all."
I rolled my eyes.
"And watching Carisi try to hide how jealous he is, is very fun," she shrugged.
"Jealous," I raised an eyebrow. "Sonny's a friend. He's worried about me. Doesn't want me stuck with an ass."
"And he offers to one-up your potential date because he's a good friend?"
I just shrugged, looking at the file again.
"(Y/n), my dear, I'm telling you this as a friend," Amanda squatted next to my chair. I looked at her as she looked around the room quickly. "He looks at you like a lovesick teenager."
"Oh, shut up."
"He is in love with you, (Y/n)."
"You're wrong, Amanda."
"Mmhmm, sure I am."
I rolled my eyes again, waiting for her to finally stand and start walking away.
I didn't want to believe her. At all.
I wanted to believe that Sonny and I were just friends.
It was easier that way. No annoying details to complicate things. No matter how I felt about him or how he felt about me. It would all be okay if we ignored it.
I met Sonny at the door that night and we walked out together.
When we got to his place, he was rambling about whatever he planned on making. I was just grinning and nodding along. I leaned on the counter as he went about his business, offering to help. He refused.
It all just felt so natural. Like we had done this a thousand times before and would do it a thousand times after this. Like the pieces were falling into place whether I was ready for them to or not.
"Can I just say, it's nice to have you around again," he said after a little while. He was at the stove.
"It's nice to be around again," I replied. "You make very good company."
"I would hope so," he chuckled. "Be disappointed if you only came over for my cooking."
"Well..."
I dragged out the word for a few seconds before Sonny nudged me with his elbow.
I watched him for a moment. Outside of work mode. Relaxed and in control. It was nice. I took a deep breath.
"Y'know, Rollins and I had an interesting chat today," I brought up. I wanted it to be casual. I wanted him to be comfortable denying what she had told me. "After you invited me over."
"What about? If you don't mind me asking."
"Well... mostly you... us really," I shrugged, standing up straight.
"What's she so worried about us for?"
He seemed to try to play it casually too, but I saw him tense a bit.
"She thought you were jealous of me trying to date," I forced a chuckle. Like I wasn't trying to pry at his thoughts.
When he didn't respond, I took a deep breath and pushed a little more.
"She seems to think you have feelings for me."
He glanced at me for a moment before going back to the pan. I was hoping that he would immediately deny it. Then, we could pretend this was a joke and I hadn't just outed the fact that I clearly had feelings for him too. But the silence felt like another can of worms.
Silent confirmation.
The worst kind of confirmation, in my opinion. Because it pushed me to do things that I would typically be terrified of doing.
"Sonny."
He didn't speak. He didn't look up from the stove. He just clenched his jaw and focused on whatever he was doing.
"Look at me," I begged, reaching out to touch his forearm. "Please."
He finally relented, turning his head to face me. His jaw was still clenched. He looked embarrassed.
I leaned over and kissed him gently. Only a matter of seconds before I leaned back again. I grinned as I did, looking down at the floor for a moment.
"I... have feelings for you too," I said. "Just so you know."
"Good," he nodded. "Really good."
"I'd hope so."
There was a pause before Sonny spoke up again, "We are not telling Rollins that she is the reason this happened."
"Oh God, no, she'd never let us hear the end of it."
He chuckled as shook his head. I leaned forward and rested my head on his shoulder. I let my eyes close for a while.
Sonny was right.
This was much better than any other date I could've been dragged on that night.
---------------------------
Author's Note: I personally ship Carisi and Rollins, but Rollins was the only person I saw being even kinda likely to do this, so I had to work with it.

I saw the anon about Louis having a unhealthy lifestyle and I just wanted to give my (unrequested) opinion. I agree with you that Louis probably exaggerates his “bad habits”, and fans overreact but also, I think we’re just so used to celebrities pushing the health nut lifestyle (or hiding their bad habits) so people see Louis as unhealthy when really, my guy lives like an average London person. Ciggies, maccies and rage. Like, my British partner is literally like that. Is it healthy? No, but that’s not unusual and actually more realistic than celebrities getting vitamin IVs up their arse.
Mhmm, I agree. I don’t think it’s that deep, he’s just a normal guy.

I love it when one of my aunts comes, tells me something about a shitty work opportunity, and proceeds to insult me
Today's topic was, there's an AI course I could enlist into in her opinion
I told her I do not want to be associated with anything AI related and she proceeded to tell me "I don't want to work either but here we are!" And walking off
LOOK YOU WALKING FOSSIL. FIRST, INFORM YOURSELF, THEN COME AND TALK TO ME. I AM A VIDEOGAME DESIGNER NOT AN INFORMATIC ENGINEER. FOR A START
Second! AI programs are based on algorithms. They are NOT intelligent as their name falsely tells you, and are currently used to rob my fellow artists of their skills, without compensation, and the way to avoid being put into the algorithmic grinder is to go out of your way and poison your own art through a tool that's not available to everyone. And what's more, most social medias opt you in to feed anything you post in them to train their own fucking program with 0 ethics and half of them don't even let you opt out
I refuse to get associated with that bullshit for as long as it's not properly regulated and intellectual theft is properly penalized
Every fucking time she comes, she brings up similar topics with 0 regards of my real situation
Yes, I quit my job. I am now jobless, but I am keeping busy in other ways, and what I did was not on a whim but for my fucking physical wellbeing. I am honing my skills to get an actual decent job, on the field I enjoy, not on whatever allegedly high paying job for the sake of having freeloaders coming from my own family
I'm sick of my aunts an uncles always boasting about their wealth only to crawl to me expecting me to become filthy rich because I am studying to become a videogame designer
They did nothing for me. Not even donating a single cent for my surgery despite always saying they would
I'm so sick of them and they can shove their unrequested commentaries up where the sun never reaches
#momochiiee mussings#I need to distract myself cuz they ruined my day first thing in the morning and that's not nice#I'll go doodle silly meowmeows to get the good mood back#no promises on any of the sketches seeing the light of day tho
