The Ninjago fandom is crazy because like, you think you've come up with a certain hc, ship, surname for characters, etc, or are the biggest fan of a character? WRONG, someone before you has done it first most likely! this fandom has existed for so long people are probably "inventing" ships that existed ages ago !!!

Hi!! I have never requested anything before, so I really hope that I am doing this right!! So I have been thinking about Scaramouche and reader having a secret relationship. One day they are making out in his office (still kind of sfw) and just before it gets too steamy, a subordinate knocks on the door and they both have to act like nothing happened with flushed faces 🤭🤭
I really hope that you get what I mean😭 It would be very nice, if you accepted this request!!/nf Thank youu!!!!!!!!
A/n: Coincidentally enough, I actually had something in my wips with this same prompt. Also, I may have gone a biiitt away from the exact request, but I think I still kept most of what you wanted!!
Summary: Sometimes the two of you are too absorbed with eachother to notice what surrounds you.
Warnings: Extremely Suggestive but no explicit NSFW, marking, like one sentence of angst
Tumblr media Tumblr media
People in the fatui talk, there is no doubt about that in your mind. They don’t exactly try to hide their whispers, nor do they try to to disguise their gossip. All they can truly do is protect what leaves their mouth with the thin barrier of their hand covering what they say. Though, there has been one topic of note that every fatuus has been spouting as of recently,
“Are any of the harbingers in a romantic relationship??”
"Not sure... They seem to be very focused on the work the Tsaritsa bestows upon them."
"You're right... Though, it would be interesting, dont you think?"
Your hand immediately slams onto the harbingers expensive wooden desk, an attempt to catch yourself before you fall onto the hard flooring. Your neck is bent toward the left, allowing the man in front of you easy accesses to the area.
"Kuni.... Could you not wait... Ha... Until you're off the job...?" Your fingers are intertwined with his violet strands, his own hands in turn roaming up and down your body, wrinkling your uniform.
His lips pop off your skin, the feeling of wet salvia being felt. You can't see it, but if you did you're sure it would be extremely noticeable.
"Why would I wait? We can just do it now."
The two of you are only meant to collect paperwork for an upcoming exchange with another fatui branch, you have no idea how this had came to be.
His left arm reachs to your bottom, hoisting you up onto the surface of the table, his other hand wiping any items on the top to the floor, loud clangs echoing through the room.
"Don't you need those? What if they're broken...?"
"Don't focus on that, pay attention to me. Besides, my budget is enough to cover it anyway."
Right, Fatui Harbinger... Rich. His fingers grip onto the back of your head pulling you into him as his mouth immediately connects to your own. You're sure you can feel literal static surrounding the two of you as your lips lock against on another.
To him, though his body might not be human, every feeling you give him is enough to make him feel truly alive. If he had the choice to choose between you and godhood, he's sure he wouldn't know what to pick.
It doesn't matter now though, if he has you, he's sure life for him won't be as pitiful as it once was.
When you try pulling away from the exchange his lips follow you like magnets, it's only when you push away with more force does he remember that you need air, unlike the vessel he holds with a limitless lung capacity.
Your forehead is rested against his as you pant, a thin line of saliva still connecting the two of you, the man's hands is still groping at whatever piece of skin he could reach, a laugh leaving his throat as he looks at the flustered state you're in.
"What? Couldn't keep up with me?"
"Be... Haa... Be quiet..."
"What was that? I'm gonna need you to speak up [Name], my mechanical ears can't hear you."
You were getting tired of his comments, immediately pulling him in for more while his finger rush to take your shirt uniform off you.
Once he had taken it off, he didn't seem to care where it landed, only throwing it somewhere random in the open space.
His hands creep up your legs, ready to undo whatever you were wearing down there as well.
Since you had only expected to grab some documents, it seemed the thought of locking the door had completely escaped you.
"My Lord! The Regrator is currently asking for you-"
Your hands immediately fly up to save any dignity you have left of yourself, Scaramouches arms doing best he can to cover your body.
"Out."
It seemed the soldier was in shock, as his eyes could only keep between the two completely embarrassed individuals, one of them being half naked.
"Did you not hear me? I said leave." You're sure the subordinate saw him in a horrifying light, but looking at him up close you could easily tell just how red his face is, even despite having no blood circulation.
"Of- Of course my lord! I will be waiting outside!" He immediately dashed through the door a loud slam bouncing off the walls.
When you look back at him as his fingers pinch the his nose bridge, an obvious agitated look spread across his face.
-----
"Were you not taught by your caretakers to knock on doors before you open them? No... Maybe they're just as incompetent as you are."
Though your clothes were haphazardly put back on, you still stood by the harbingers side as he demeaned the fatuus, smoothing out any wrinkles your uniform had.
"Forgive me my lord..."
To be honest, you wouldn't have gone with the man, if it weren't for the fact you're sure he would obliterate the soldier if you weren't there.
"So... Are you and [Name] together-?"
"Continue talking if you wanna be sent back home in a coffin."
Though harsh words keep leaving his esophagus, you can still notice the vibrant red spread around his face when he replies.
------
"Good job not electrocuting the guy Kuni."
"Who says I'm not gonna do It on another date?"
"If you don't we can pick up where we left off when we get to my house."
"Ha, if that's what you really want."

Ok but reguarding Law’s MIA s/o: What if Luffy and the Strawhats found them and calls Law on the den den mushi and is just like, “Oi, Torao! I found (nickname)!” Just both Law and s/o reconnecting over the snail trying not to burst into tears.
Oh YES we love soft closure that's good and gentle 😌 thus, this will be the sequel to [this]
[Heads up!: mention of injuries, hurt/comfort]
Tumblr media
Some divine being must have your back. That's the only reason you can think of as to how you aren't dead ㅡ and how you've landed in the care of an ally, no less.
"We may not be an alliance anymore, but that doesn't mean we're not friends, right?" Luffy's grin is bright and wide, patting you on the shoulder and laughing sheepishly when Chopper snaps a warning about jostling you too much.
"They almost died, Luffy! You need to be gentle!" Chopper fusses with the thick band of cloth around your upper arm, and you glance at Luffy.
"You have a transponder snail, right?" He blinks and then nods, and you swallow. "Can I borrow it? I need ㅡ I need to call Law."
He probably thinks you're dead, or that you've been captured. It's Nami who approaches with the transponder snail, and your heart hammers as it begins the familiar 'purururu'.
Law answers after a minute. "What do you want, Strawhat?"
Your lips part, but there's a lump in your throat now, the rise of tears in your eyes at hearing his voice.
"Hey Traffy, you'll never guess who we found! We found [nickname]!" Luffy speaks for you, and you stare at your hands as Law processes Luffy's words.
"[Name]...?" Law's voice is soft, softer than you've ever heard it ㅡ as if he's afraid to believe Luffy, that the other captain is feeding him false hope.
"Law," you croak, voice thick with tears. "I'm ㅡ yeah, I'm here."
"Are you okay?" Law can hear the pounding of his own heart, the rise of emotion at hearing your voice but being unable to see you ㅡ and his chest aches when he hears a tiny hiccuped breath from you.
"I'm okay," you say, "I'm so sorry, Iㅡ"
"Don't apologize." Law doesn't care that his crewmates are watching him at the moment, relief at knowing you're okay, you're alive trumping everything else. "Strawhat. We need to arrange a rendezvous so I can take [Name] back."
You scrub at your eyes as you listen to Law and Luffy discuss where to meet up, vaguely aware of Robin's hand on your back, trying to soothe you.
"Are you okay?" Nami's voice is gentle once you've calmed down and you register that the transponder snail is quiet. It hurts that you hadn't gotten to say more to him, gotten to say goodbye ㅡ but your heart hammers at the prospect of seeing him again, and you've had enough of goodbyes for a while.
"Yeah," you answer at last, "I'm just ready to go home."
The rendezvous point doesn't take long to reach, the Polar Tang having coincidentally been in the area, searching for marine presence and any scrap of you they might happen upon ㅡ and you watch as the familiar yellow metal breaches the surface.
Anxiously, you scan the small deck, waiting ㅡ and then the door opens, and your heart stops. Law.
You're tempted to vault over the railing of the Sunny, take your chances with the waves just to get to him faster, but Law seems to have the same idea as a blue aura encapsulates the space between both ships ㅡ and then he's in front of you.
Given how private he is, you expect Law to wait until the two of you are alone to express raw emotion, untempered by social expectations ㅡ but his arms are around you, squeezing you tightly, and you get the feeling he was a lot more than just worried about you.
Now that Law has you back, a little worse for wear but ultimately alive, he can admit that he was terrified. That he'd lost someone again, upheld his personal belief that all he knows how to do is lose the ones closest to him ㅡ but you're alive.
You're here, in his arms, safe ㅡ he presses his face against your head, closing his eyes as he uses you to anchor himself, tethering away from 'what ifs' and all the worst case scenarios he's entertained over the last few days.
"Missed you," you mumble, and his grip tightens.
"I missed you too."

TWO LAWYERS, ONE HEART
HIGURUMA CONTENT AS I PROMISED
warnings: semi-public? sex, quickie...etc.
synopsis: you and your fiance was coincidentally hired by clients who's involved in the same case and why not fuck in the courtroom?
Having a relationship with a another attorney is not the best fucking idea.
Last week you were hired to defend a person who's accused of murder and for fuck's sake, soon later your fiance said that he'll be the lawyer of the opposite side, you were shock to hear the new, past forward, morning before the case, you and your fiance, Higuruma stared blankly at eachother while taking your breakfast, both not wanting to break the silence, you took a deep breath,
"goodluck babe" you said in which he responded with a nod- after that you left.
"awkward as fuck", you mumbled as you check your client's case not knowing what to do next, the jury and the judge came, you stood up and so does the others and you know this wouldn't go as smooth as your other cases, as soon as the judge slamed their gavel you began to question your fiance's client, "How can you tell that my client here, is the one who murdered the victim?, there were no proofs, no?" "Yes, but i saw it with my own eyes!" "And, are you the only one who saw that?" you asked once again, "Yes, but-" "then you have no proof, and no witness?, you, only seeing it is not enough, suspicious, is it not?, I'll ask again later, thank you judge." once again the judge slammed their gavel down, which means it's higuruma's turn to inquire your client, "It says here, on your file, it seems that you and the victim had a fight before the murder happened, so is it not just as suspicious?" Higuruma uttered, looking onto you with a brow, good he's so fucking hot when he's serious, it just make you throb.
After the hearing, the jury and the judge left, as well as your clients, leaving you and your fiance alone in the court room, Higuruma walked his way to you, "You did well, hon" he says with a smile, exposing his little dimple on his left cheek- you stood up and gave him a peck on his lips, but soon turned into a deep kiss, your hands traveled on the back of his head, massaging his scalp using the pads of your hand- "you looked so hot when you're serious" you let out a breathy moan, as both of you latched your lips together once again, deepening the kiss much more
"only when I'm serious?" Higuruma asks sheepishly between breaths, you chuckled in a low voice as higuruma reaches for your stocking, he feels you soaking wet panties, upon noticing, he flicked his finger tips on your clit- "Honey, i-i don't think we should be doing this in here.." you stated, but that doesn't stop higuruma, he kept flicking your clothed cunt, he slowly lays you on the desk nearby, squatting on the sight of your cunt, he rips a little hole on your stocking for him to reach your hungry sweet cunt then he lifts your pencil skirt above your chest- "A quickie wouldn't hurt sweet cheeks" he says unbuckling his pants, his length sprung out as soon as he unzipped his pants , it was half hard- he inserts his cock in, ripping your stocking a little more, you can hear the stitches of stocking popping...your jaw slacked as your eyes rolled back in the back of your head "we gotta be quick-" you moaned he jerks his hip in you, you can feel him growing in you- which made the pleasure two time better, "f-fuck- you're so fucking tight!" he whispers on your ear as fasten his pace going faster and faster, delicate sounds of your bodies slapping together rung inside the Courtroom, god i hope no one comes in!
you can feel your stomach building a familiar knot ready to burst any minute-
"are you close honey?" Higuruma says "mhmm yea!" you whispered "good" he responds he bucks his cock on your g-spot in a better angle" 'm cumming-!" you whimpered "yeah cum on my dick hon" he says thrusting deeper while covering your mouth to prevent being caught, moments later thick ropes of cum painted your womb, after a few final thrusts you cane too, he pulls out his cock, wiping mixed cums of yours and his off his cock as he helped you to get up and fix your skirt after that, the two of you went out of the Courtroom with your cunt leaking with his cum. Well i guess having a relationship with a another lawyer isn't half bad.
A/N: I DON'T KNOW HOW THE COURTROOM ACTUALLY WORKS AND HOW LAW WORKS, I JUST THOUGHT THIS PLOT IS KINDA GOOD, I ONLY USED GOOGLE AS MY RESOURCE OMG I'M SORRYY!

Best Friend's Mother Masterlist
Chapter: Four
Milf!Park Seonghwa X gn!reader
Summary: A week has gone by since your late night secret with Seonghwa. You kept telling yourself to not entertain the idea of anything more than a one night stand. But Wooyoung, as always, throws a wrench in your plans.
WC: 4.4k
CW: Suggestive towards the end, kissing, touching, lots of teasing, Wooyoung is a cockblock, fluff, cuddles
AN: I spent a whole day writing this, my body hurts, my brain hurts, but I wanted to get this chapter done so badly. I hope you all enjoy it.
Tag List: @hyunjinsjeans @malldreamprincess @unlikelysublimekryptonite @becauseilovedyou @kittkat44 @babyxhoiz @asleepylilcat @mxnsxngie @rxnexxi @mommahwa1117 @acciocriativity @anxiousskylar @h3arteyes4mingi
Tumblr media
“Hey guys,” Wooyoung said as he entered the living room. “I have an idea for something we can all do.”
The announcement shouldn’t have filled you with fear, but it did.
The week was a roller coaster, if you had to be honest. You’d wanted to keep your interactions with Seonghwa to a minimum, only talking to him if he talked to you, only if you absolutely needed to.
And it felt like torture.
You wanted to talk to him, you wanted to be nice, you wanted to sit with him and have long conversations about anything and everything. You wanted to give him hugs like Wooyoung did.
But you were scared of what would happen if you let yourself do that. If you fell deeper into him. If your lust for him turned to something more than sex.
You weren’t ready to confront that. Despite Wooyoung constantly dragging you with him to do anything, and “coincidentally” always having Seonghwa be there too, you didn’t think it was something beyond Wooyoung wanting to spend time with you. And of course, you were going to spend time with Wooyoung, so you were in a difficult spot.
And yet, the whole time you were trying to subtly avoid him, Seonghwa wasn’t dumb. And unfortunately, he was more observant than you’d thought he was.
And he hated to admit that he thought about it every time he laid down to sleep. He’d lay in his bed for hours and think about you. About the night you had together.
The way you’d look away when he tried to talk to you, the slight red tint in your cheeks when he’d call you “dear” or “sweetheart,” the little tremor in your voice when you talked to him. He was hopelessly attracted to you, and he knew you felt the same way about him.
And you both were battling with your desires in your own ways.
If only you knew that the gorgeous man you were daydreaming about was doing the same thing just one wall away.
You force a sweet smile at Wooyoung as you come back to the present. Seonghwa also looks up at him.
“Eomma, you know that restaurant you’d take me to as a kid?”
Seonghwa smiled and shook his head. “I’ve taken you to many restaurants.”
“The really expensive one that we went to for special occasions?”
“What’s the occasion?” You wondered. In the back of your mind, you wondered if Wooyoung was about to reveal his “relationship” with San to his mother. But the smirk Wooyoung was giving you shot that theory down quickly.
“Isn’t our presence enough of an occasion?” He answered, standing up straighter, puffing out his chest a little. Seonghwa laughed and shook his head again.
“Your presence is always an occasion, nae sarang, but I can’t just take you. That place-”
“Requires reservations,” Wooyoung interrupted, finishing his sentence. “Well what if I told you I already took care of that?”
You and Seonghwa both blinked, not completely believing him. You had no idea where this was going, or what restaurant they could possibly be talking about. Even if you did know the name, it wouldn’t have helped, because you could never afford to go to a restaurant nicer than Olive Garden.
“Wooyoung,” Seonghwa started, in the signature disappointed parent tone that said everything without having to say it. The tone that meant “you shouldn’t have done that.” But it didn’t dissuade Wooyoung in the slightest.
“Come on, why not? I haven’t been there in a long time, and it’s something we can all do together.” He put extra emphasis on the word “together.”
You turned your attention to Seonghwa, and he was looking at Wooyoung with nothing but love in his eyes, with a little smile on his lips. He knew that no matter what excuse he made up, he was going to relent. He was going to say yes, because there was no reason to say no.
Part of him wanted to see how serious Wooyoung was. Part of him wanted to see what else Wooyoung was up to. He had his suspicions, but couldn’t tell for certain.
“What day do you have this reserved?” Seonghwa asked, tilting his head back a little.
“Tonight,” Wooyoung said proudly. “The perfect night to go out to eat.”
Time had started to warp and bend for you since you were thr0wn off your usual schedule, but Wooyoung had mentioned to you earlier that it was a Saturday. You realized now why he bothered to point it out.
Seonghwa still pretended to roll the idea over in his head. Both you and Wooyoung knew he was faking it based on his smile, but you two were still waiting with bated breath for his answer.
And finally, Seonghwa sighed and nodded. “Okay, when do we have to be there?”
Wooyoung did a little happy dance and squealed. You smiled and sighed in relief.
You didn’t feel so scared about the idea of going to dinner with Seonghwa knowing Wooyoung was going to be there. You’d have to throw together a decent outfit from the clothes that you brought, but you were sure you could do it.
And that’s what you did. About an hour before you were going to leave, you had taken a shower and made yourself look nice before you went to sort through your clothes. Just a simple outfit, but it still made you look put together. It wasn’t luxury, but it would pass decently for an hour or so.
As you were going to leave the room, there was a knock on the door. When you called for them to come in, Wooyoung peeked in. He took one look at your outfit and shook his head.
“No, that’s not gonna work.” He left and went back into his room. You followed him, befuddled.
“What do you mean, I look fine!” You protested, but Wooyoung was already going through his closet to look for something better. He frantically grabbed at different clothes, looking them over, and rejecting most of them.
“Fine isn’t good enough, this is a high class restaurant.” Wooyoung pulled out a shirt that he was satisfied with and tossed it onto a nearby chair. “Thankfully, your awesome best friend is here to help you.”
You sighed and looked at his outfit. He wore black slacks with a belt, with a white button up tucked into the shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his arms. This was the nicest you’d ever seen Wooyoung in the entirety of your time knowing him, Wooyoung never dressed up for anything. Not even to the formal events your college hosted.
Realizing that, you decided to listen to him and accept the clothes. You let Wooyoung dress you in the outfit he’d picked, and he helped fit and adjust it so it looked good on you. He accessorized you as well, with a couple of necklaces and rings.
You had to admit, when Wooyoung was done with you, you looked much better than you did before. Much more worthy of a fancy restaurant dinner.
Wooyoung also put a coat over your shoulders. “To match the outfit,” he commented.
“I have a jacket, Wooyoung.”
“Not one that goes with your clothes.” You rolled your eyes, but buttoned up the coat regardless. He had a point, sure, but you mostly just wanted him to shut up.
You and Wooyoung made your way to the front door and waited for Seonghwa.
“How do you have all these nice clothes anyway?” You asked, remembering that you never asked what Seonghwa did for work. With his nice house and Wooyoung’s extensive wardrobe, he had to be doing something amazing.
“My mom is a model,” Wooyoung says nonchalantly, looking at his phone.
Oh. Of course he was.
“What does he model for?”
“Mostly shoes, but he does a lot of other stuff. He has a couple deals for a few different luxury brands.”
Of course he does.
As you were about to continue, you heard a bedroom door close, and the familiar click of heels across the hardwood and down the stairs.
Your breath caught in your throat as Seonghwa came down the stairs. Good Lord, he looked fucking stunning.
He’d dressed himself in black slacks, a white, long sleeved turtleneck, and heels. Heels.
His silky black hair was curled and fell down in beautiful waves, his bangs framing his face perfectly. A few gold chains hung from his neck and rings on his fingers. He’d even put on makeup, with small wings by his eyes and sparkly eyeshadow, with sparkly, glossy, pink lips.
You had a sudden urge to kiss him.
You knocked yourself out of your daze when Seonghwa came over to the door. “Are we ready to go?” He asked as he reached into the closet for a coat.
Wooyoung pushed off the couch, already having a coat like you did. “Yeah, we-” And then his phone began to ring. “Oh-Sorry, let me take this.”
Wooyoung took a few steps away as he answered the call. “Hey. Oh, no. Oh, that sucks. Do you want me to come help? Yeah, I can come over. I’ll be there soon. Okay, bye.”
“Who was that?” Seonghwa asked, fixing his coat, which was white and fluffy, and long enough to cover his entire body, leaving it open. You tried to focus your attention on Wooyoung instead, who was putting his phone into his coat pocket.
“A friend from college, he needs me to come over.”
You had a strong feeling who that “friend” was.
“What happened?” You asked, but Wooyoung was already making his way to the door hurriedly. You grabbed onto his arm to stop him, and as he looked at you, you could see in his eyes that he was scared.
There was genuine fear there. Your stomach suddenly filled with dread wondering what could’ve happened to this unnamed “friend.”
“I’ll explain later, I just really have to go.” He pulled his arm out of your grip and opened the door. “I’m sorry, you two should still go enjoy dinner!”
“Wait, Wooyoung,” Seonghwa tried to stop him, but Wooyoung was already gone.
And you and Seonghwa were alone. As the silence stretched on, another realization dawned on you.
You were about to go to a restaurant and have dinner with Seonghwa. Alone.
“Well,” Seonghwa began. “Do you still want to go?”
“Yes,” you blurted, way sooner than you wanted to. Seonghwa’s lips curved up into a smirk.
“You don’t have to hide it anymore, sweetie. He’s gone.”
Your heart stops and you can feel sweat break out all over your body. Of course he knew, of course he’d seen how you were avoiding him and being shy around him. But you weren’t prepared for him to confront you about it.
And all that you can say is a soft, strangled, “What?” Seonghwa laughed softly and closed the gap between you two, standing over you. He made you feel so much smaller than you already were.
And you wanted to grab him. Desire burned in your bones to reach out and hug him, pressing your face into his chest, being safe and happy in his arms, letting the rest of the world fade out.
But you held yourself back, and forced yourself to keep eye contact with him. And he was loving the panic in your eyes.
“You can relax. It’s okay.” Seonghwa grabbed your hand and held it gently. “Enjoy this night with me.”
“But Wooyoung-” You tried to argue, but Seonghwa shook his head.
“He’s an adult. He’ll be okay. I’ll leave my phone on if he needs me.” He squeezed your hand gently. “Please. Come with me.”
And who were you to tell him no, when Seonghwa was asking you to go with him?
Tumblr media
You followed Seonghwa into the restaurant, and you were already impressed in the first few seconds.
The entrance had little lanterns on the walls with candles inside them, illuminating the small hallway to the hostess stand and the rest of the building. There were large potted plants along the carpeted walkway, and the walls were adorned with large, gorgeous paintings of different landscapes and animals.
You stayed close to Seonghwa, but still far enough away to not touch him. He didn’t allow that, he grabbed onto your hand and laced his fingers with yours. The small gesture made your stomach flip over.
The hostess looked up and smiled at Seonghwa, and she started speaking in Korean. You heard her say “Mr. Park,” but you couldn’t understand anything else. Seonghwa responded, but there was a slight stutter in his voice.
You looked up at him, but before either of you could say anything else, the hostess motioned for you to follow her, and she led you into the dining area.
The dining area had the same theme of decor as the hallway. Dark moody lighting, lanterns, paintings and plants everywhere. The tables ranged in different sizes, from large to small, and nearly all of them were full.
But there was one open small table, with only two chairs with it.
You and Hwa took your seats, removing your coats first and leaving them on the chairs. You turned to Seonghwa and you nearly choked seeing him in the low lighting. Highlighting the bright parts and increasing the shadows, he looked like a character from a movie.
“It’s funny,” Seonghwa began, looking at you. “The reservation was under my name. For only two people.”
Your heart stopped for a second. And then you couldn’t help but laugh.
Wooyoung, the fucking brat. He set you two up. He was never going to come with you two.
Seonghwa laughed too, a soft, beautiful sound. “Did you tell him?”
You shook your head aggressively. “No, he told me not to.” And as soon as the words left your mouth, you regretted them. Seonghwa’s eyes flicked up to you, and chills ran all across your body as when his eyes met yours. A smirk appeared on his lips again.
He was about to make a comment when a server came over and, in Korean, began to speak to Seonghwa. The look on his face disappeared and was replaced with a bright, award winning smile.
And somehow, jealousy began to burn in your bones, seeing the server clearly flirting with Seonghwa. You couldn’t understand what either of them were saying, but the way the server was smiling, giving him half closed eyes, laughing at what he said, it made you angry.
You balled your hands into fists by your sides, trying to keep your face neutral as the conversation went on. It was brief, but it was enough to piss you off.
The server walked away and Seonghwa turned his attention back to you. You forced a small smile and unclenched your fists. Seonghwa smiled back and crossed his arms, leaning on the table. You awkwardly kept your hands in your lap, not knowing what else to do with them.
“I’m sorry you’re getting left out of a lot of conversations. All I did was order for us, I hope you don’t mind what I got.”
“We’ll see when it gets here, won’t we?”
“Of course, we’ll see.”
And silence went over you both. You weren’t sure how to do this. This was less of a simple dinner and more of a date, and you’d been working to avoid this. But now you were sitting in front of him at a luxury restaurant waiting for food.
You had no idea how to fill the gap, since you hadn’t ever planned for this. You could see in Seonghwa’s eyes that he had ideas. But he just watched you.
He delighted in how you squirmed under his gaze. Holding eye contact, but nervously fidgeting and shifting around. Maybe he was just a little bit of a sadist.
“So,” he finally said, sitting up to take a drink of water. You let out a heavy breath and gulped, suddenly needing the water too. “Should I teach you a few words? Just for fun?”
“Sure.” You set the glass back down and put your hands back in your lap, still fidgeting with them. “That sounds fun.” You smiled, but it was weak and forced. Seonghwa was living for your nervousness.
“Okay, first word, eomma. It means ‘mom.’”
“Wooyoung uses that one,” you piped up. “I guessed that’s what it meant.”
“Yeah, that was easy.” He went quiet as he tried to think of more words to teach you, and one popped up in your head.
“What about the one you call Wooyoung?” Seonghwa looked at you, and his smile spread across his whole face.
“‘Nae sarang?’ It means ‘my love’.” His smile made butterflies burst in your stomach.
“That’s cute,” you squeaked out, reaching for the water again. Seonghwa’s eyes sparkled in delight.
“I thought so too,” he mused, leaning back on the table.
He was playing you like a goddamn game and you were falling right into it.
He was teasing you, toying with you. Trying to break you and admit that you wanted him as badly as you knew you did. He saw it all over you, but you refused to admit it.
But he’d made you. He knew he’d make you crumble for him.
“How about another cute one? ‘Jagiya’ means “baby,” like the pet name.”
The looks Seonghwa was giving you while he was teaching you these words was obvious. You knew the game he was playing. And you were powerless to stop it.
“Yeah, it’s cute,” you said softly. Seonghwa moved so he could prop his head up on his hand, under his chin.
“Why don’t you try it? Go on, say it.”
You gave your best attempt at the word, and Seonghwa’s heart fluttered hearing you say it. He was already imagining you calling him that.
And maybe someday, nae sarang.
No. That’s ridiculous. That would never happen. That’s not possible.
But what if it was?
The food came not long later, and the same server from before was the one to deliver it. The server was more bold this time, putting a hand on Seonghwa’s shoulder while she spoke to him.
The jealousy bubbled up in you again. Aren’t servers not allowed to touch customers unless it’s an emergency? This had to be a violation of some kind. Could you report the server for being inappropriate? Maybe, but you don’t know how you would.
“Sweetheart?” Seonghwa called softly. You snapped out of your thoughts and looked at him. You realized the server was nowhere to be found. How long had you zoned out?
“Sorry, I-”
“If looks could kill, that server would’ve been dead and buried.” He said as he picked up a pair of chopsticks. He spoke so matter-of-factly that it almost sounds like a lecture. Your cheeks burned hot and you looked down at the food, which looked delicious. A noodle based dish. “Go on, try it. I think you’ll like it.
So you did. You struggled with the chopsticks for a bit before you got a hold of them, which Seonghwa found adorably amusing. You grabbed a small bite of the mixture and took a bite.
And he was right, you loved it.
“Oh, this is so good,” you mumbled as you continued to eat, trying to remember your table manners and restrain yourself. Seonghwa could only smile as he watched you.
“I’m glad you like it.”
You both ate with minimal talking. Mostly because you were starving and hadn’t eaten in a long while, and you were loving the food. Seonghwa didn’t mind, because he was happy enough being here with you.
You were adorable. Plain and simple. You were stuck in his head.
Which is why he wanted you to admit that you wanted him to.
Tumblr media
You got back into Seonghwa’s car as he did, settling back into the seat.
“Thank you for that, Seonghwa.” You looked over at him. “I really appreciate this. This was really nice.”
“You’re welcome, jagiya.” He started the car and began the drive home. He’d made the drive many times before, with Wooyoung, who had set you both up. It’d be an interesting conversation when you both got home.
You were sitting in the seat beside Seonghwa with your brain shorting out from the pet name. Jagiya. You knew there was a chance he’d use it on you, but it still broke your brain.
“Jagiya?” Seonghwa called softly. He glanced over at you, and he smirked, seeing your eyes glazed over.
Seonghwa placed his hand on your thigh. Gently, very gently. He didn’t move, he just kept his hand there. Just a gentle, steady pressure.
But he felt how your thigh tensed under his hand. He glanced up at your face, and your eyes were wide and clear, but your hands were gripping onto the seat below you.
“Do you want me to stop?” Seonghwa asked softly.
“No,” you blurted.
It shouldn’t have made him so happy to hear that, but he felt the desire bloom in his bones. He gently squeezed your thigh, massaging it.
And it made fire shoot up your leg and all over your body. Your stomach was churning inside you, your head was growing light. You didn’t think you could melt so badly from a simple touch, but you felt like you were actually turning into a puddle in the seat.
Every night, all week, he was in your head. You were thinking about your night together. His hands on your body, his arms around you, how his touch lit you on fire. You craved it more than you knew.
Seonghwa’s hand moved up your thigh, and you couldn’t cover your mouth in time before the whimper fell past your lips. Seonghwa bit his lip at the soft sound.
“I missed you, sweetheart.” His voice had slipped into a deeper octave, something more sensual. “I wanted you back in my bed. Don’t deny it anymore, you wanted it too, didn’t you?”
You bit your lip to stifle the rest of the noises that tumbled out of your mouth. The constant circles he was rubbing into your inner thigh, right next to where you needed him most, mixing with his voice, his confessions, you were a mess.
A mess just like he wanted.
“You wanted me too, jagiya. You thought about me, you wanted me. You wanted me to fuck you again just like I did before.”
Somehow, you were back at the house already. You hadn’t paid attention, how could you? Your brain was wrapped up in Seonghwa, all in him. Just him, and how badly you wanted him again. He was right, of course he was.
He turned to look at you, with his eyes half closed, his hand still on your thigh. He squeezed tighter than he had before.
“Tell me you want me to fuck you, jagiya. Tell me.”
Fuck it.
“I want you to fuck me, Mommy.”
“Good doll.”
You both quickly got out of the car and into the house. You pulled your shoes and coat off, and dropped it onto the couch. You turned to Seonghwa and choked on nothing as he stripped his coat off, tossing it aside, his eyes trained on you.
The only light in the room was a lamp by the door, making him look fucking angelic. An angel here for you.
He grabbed you and pushed you against the wall, his hands on your waist, his body pressed against yours. Your hands locked around his neck and pulled his lips to yours, beginning a messy, passionate kiss, all tongue and teeth.
Desperation clawed at you both like a frantic, wild animal. Seonghwa’s hands wander to your shirt, pulling it up and rubbing up against your skin, his lips traveling down your neck.
“You don’t want to go to bed?” You breathed, gripping onto his pretty silky hair.
“We’ll get there eventually, I need you now.” He gripped onto your waist again, pressing against you harder, almost pushing you up the wall.
Your legs fell open for him almost embarrassingly easily, but all pride had been thrown out the window.
Seonghwa’s hands ran down and grabbed onto your thighs, and you grabbed onto his shoulders, ready to jump into his arms.
Until you both heard the front door open.
You and Seonghwa both immediately jumped away from each other, trying to pretend that you weren’t just all over each other as Wooyoung came in the door.
Seonghwa had gone over to put his coat away, and flashed a fake smile to his son. They exchanged a brief “hi” before Seonghwa tried to cover up the sin you were about to commit.
“We just got home too! Did everything work out with your friend?”
“Oh, yeah.” Wooyoung took off his coat as well, and you couldn’t help but smirk when you saw his messy clothes. His shirt was untucked, his collar wasn’t properly fixed.
And oh, what’s that, just under his jaw? A little bruise. And how would Wooyoung get such a small bruise in a spot like that?
It took everything in you to not burst into giggles knowing exactly where Wooyoung had run off to.
All three of you agreed that everything worked out, everyone pretending they didn’t know anything about each other, before you headed up to your separate bedrooms. Not without you giving a little smirk to Wooyoung.
You’d give him shit in the morning about his dirty little secret. You knew you would.
But you were back in bed, laying awake, thinking about Seonghwa.
Fuck. This was a new level of desperation for you.
And realizing how badly you wanted to be back with him sucked any sexual energy out of you. You just wanted to be in his arms now.
As quietly as you could, you snuck out of your room and went to Seonghwa’s door. You didn’t bother to knock, you couldn’t risk waking up Wooyoung.
You slowly opened the door and slipped inside. Seonghwa was already waiting for you, and happily pulled his blankets back to let you into bed.
You crawled in and laid next to him, putting your head on his chest. He held you tight and close, and finally, what you craved was yours.
“Too risky to continue?” You whispered.
“Too risky,” he whispered back. And that was fine with you.
At least now you had him. You had his arms around you. You were in his bed. He was rubbing your back. Your head was on his chest. And everything felt right. Everything felt good.
Whatever your future held, you knew it would have Seonghwa in it. You would be sure of it. How could you ever let him go?
“Stay with me,” he whispered. “I really did miss you.”
“I missed you too,” you whispered back.
And you stayed.

Rich baby daddy. You were the first person I talked to after my breakup. It wasn’t meant to be a forever thing or a thing at all. My friends pushed me to DM you because they were so tired of me going back to my ex. By the time you responded to my dm, him and I were already back together. We made each other miserable but couldn’t bare the idea of losing the routine of life we had built together over that year. Him and I were on a plane to New York, he was sitting next to me, as I read our very first interaction. I was loyal to him, but I wondered what would happen if I responded, what you were like, would we get along? A few months later my relationship ended for good. You said you were having a party at your house and I should come by. It wasn’t a party at all, just you and two of your friends sitting at your kitchen table getting high on mushrooms. I wasn’t amused by you. Your immature demeanor disgusted me. A man child. You sent me a “good morning” text the following day, I didn’t respond. Something strange happened a month later, you popped into my mind, and I felt drawn to you, this weird wave of affection washed over me. Coincidentally we both would be looking for houses in New York the next week. What were the chances we both were moving to the same city at the same time? I watched your game before we hung out, I rooted for you and still do to this day. Your team won. “Reposito or Blanco? I replied “blanco” and you said “ that’s my girl”. I was glad you approved of my choice. We sat on the couch beside each other, then I was on your lap. We were in the middle of a party but we only spoke to each other for the entire night. I felt so drawn to you. At one point you mumbled “ I waited for this my entire life” I still wonder what you meant by that. We kissed at that party, in the bathroom, I still remember how your lips. Now we were alone In your hotel room looking at the east river together. You hovered over me while looking into my eyes, and told me that you loved me. I was hooked on you after this night. I needed you. You were the one I wanted. Fate bought us together again in Miami, what were the chances we both would be there for work on the exact same days? that night we conceived our son. It was only our second time having sex. What were the chances I would end up pregnant? All I have left of you is a photo of us and your hoodie I wore home that morning. I never saw you again. You would call every few months while I was pregnant to remind me to keep it hush. Each time our phones calls would end my heart would break, each time a little part of me had hope that you were calling out of love but it was always distain. Four days after I gave birth you asked to FaceTime, I thought you wanted to see him, but once again you reminded me to hush. I cried so hard after that call. You will never understand how alone I felt over that ten months. You never gave me money or had me sign an NDA. I protected you out of love, I will always be rooting for you.

Within this world we love we’re just like beans in a Naco, packed tightly!
I really like the concept of SPYxFAMILY's finding love in a found family. Not blood related but bound together. Gotta catch up on episodes uuuu...
But yeah little evil-in-the-make kiddy Ron got a hard grip on my heart.
Synopsis CRIMExFAMILY KP-AU?
Drew Theodore P. Lipsky, but to the world known as Dr. Drakken, is on a mission to take over the world by pulling the heist of the century; stealing the [classified] from G.J.
Through criminal intel, he finds out that there's an academy in which a lot of G.J.'s agents children go to either in order to get ahead in society or train to become future G.J. agents.
So what do you do? Adopting a kid ofc.
Ron Stoppable, a kid with mystical monkey powers that he obtained by accident, ends up in the care of the mad scientist. Lucky them!
Ron gets enrolled into the academy who in turn ends up in the class of Miss Go. Who unbeknownst to everyone is in reality the world's greatest assassin/burglar. She too had the idea of getting closer to G.J. by directly being in contact with their children cause hey, kids tell LOTS of stuff.
Drew gets a job as school nurse/doctor(???) and works closely with Miss Go. Eventually both of them know that the other knows a bunch about G.J. and coincidentally the same [classified] both are after.
Neither of them know their true identity and both of them use make up to hide themselves in public.
Ron accidentally ruins all preparation for the capers with his monkey powers. Eventually all three of them find out what's going on and work together. Ron doesn't want to lose his new found parents once the goal is obtained and so he often tries to get them to hook up and fall for each other. In the mean time, there's girl in Ron's class, he tries to impress her but... he's evil and she's training hard to become a future G.J. agent!
That's basically what I got in my head.

Shinra Floor New Year’s party from hell pretty plz? 🥺
The New Year's Resolution Challenge
• Sephiroth and Genesis arrive at the ballroom. Both of them are dressed in the exact same blue suit.
Sephiroth: Happy new year, director.
• Lazard doesn't reply. He takes one look at them, spits out his drink and starts laughing.
Genesis: Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want. We didn't coordinate this, you know!
Lazard: You look like two penguins—
Sephiroth: We coincidentally had the same suit and chose to wear it tonight.
Genesis: And we could not decide who got to wear it, so we gave up trying to settle the issue.
• Rufus Shinra walks by also wearing the same suit. Lazard absolutely loses his shit.
• Reno and Rude swing by, both with cameras and starts taking pictures of the trio. The camera flash is so strong, Sephiroth is blinded and topples onto Genesis. The two start squabbling on the floor. Reno takes more pictures.
• Lazard watches all of this go down. He looks at his drink sadly.
Lazard: I'm going to need something stronger.
• Later, Zack and Angeal are arguing as they walk up to the table.
Zack: You're so pessimistic!
Angeal: No, I'm not. I just think making "eat healthier" your new year's resolution when your favorite food is a deep-fried donut bacon sandwich is useless.
Genesis: What are you two on about?
Zack: Angeal doesn't think I can keep my new year's resolution! I want to eat healthier food. *he takes a bite out of his fifteenth slider*
Genesis: And I want a robot who slaps Sephiroth on command. Doesn't look like either of us are getting our wish.
Sephiroth: Zack, if you want to keep your new year's resolution, why don't you start tonight? That way, you can assess how well you'll be able to keep it.
Zack: You know what? You're right! *he throws his slider over his shoulder⏤it hits Heidegger on the back of his head* I'm starting now! From now on, no more junk food! I'm a changed ma⏤wait, look! They just brought out the cake!
Sephiroth: Zackary.
Zack: Fine, fine. You're right! I don't need cake!
Angeal: Actually, that's a great idea. Why don't we all start our new year's resolutions tonight?
Genesis: Oh-ho! Do I hear a challenge? The loser who can't keep his resolution until midnight owes everyone else G$1000.
Angeal: The only reason you're so keen on putting money in this is because you don't have a new year's resolution.
Genesis: How can I be any better than I am now?
*Everyone starts talking over each other giving suggestions*
Genesis: Okay OKAY I get it! Goddess!
Sephiroth: My new year's resolution is to be more approachable and friendlier.
Angeal: Mine is to not get stressed out too easily.
Genesis: And I'll take a vow of silence! One whole night without quoting Loveless nor speaking at all⏤
Sephiroth: FINALLY.
*Everyone looks at him*
Sephiroth: I mean *clears his throat* That sounds like a wonderful idea.
• Later, Zack and Angeal are hanging around the buffet table. Angeal is admiring the fruit display (mostly the pyramid of Banora Whites) while Zack looks longingly at the mini hotdogs.
Angeal: Why don't you have some fruit? Zack: Good idea!
• Zack reaches for one of the dumbapples at the bottom of the pyramid. Immediately the display crumbles and crashes to the ground. Over 100 apples roll around all over the place. Angeal goes red in the face and opens his mouth to scold Zack.
Zack: Ah-ah! You can't get mad at me!
*Angeal's eye twitches*
• Meanwhile, Genesis and Sephiroth are walking around the party. Genesis is silently reading his book, trying his best not to talk. They approach Kunsel and a few other SOLDIERs. Sephiroth grins big and wide.
• The SOLDIERs scream and run away.
Sephiroth: What's wrong with my smile? *Genesis opens his mouth to respond, but then the realization dawns on him. He clamps it shut again*
Sephiroth: Hm. I bet you're dying to make fun of me.
Genesis:
Sephiroth: If only someone would point out every single critical flaw of mine.
*A thick blue vein appears on Genesis's forehead*
• Meanwhile, Lazard is showing Angeal some deep breathing exercises.
Lazard: Relax, inhale. Imagine you're walking on a beach...
• A football flies in out of nowhere and hits Angeal in the face, knocking him down. Kunsel rushes up to him.
Kunsel: Apologies! Me and the guys were messing around!
Angeal: *eye twitching* It is fine.
Kunsel: You're blue.
Angeal: IT IS FINE.
• Meanwhile, Zack is watching Reno load up his plate with steak, fries and fried chicken. He's salivating.
Reno: Dude, one slice of pizza won't kill you. It's all about moderation.
Zack: No way! I'm a changed man. I don't need all that heart-attack food to be happy.
*Reno takes a bite out of a chicken wing*
*Zack immediately starts sobbing*
• Meanwhile, Sephiroth and Genesis are back at their table. Sephiroth has Genesis's copy of Loveless in hand and is reciting it wrong on purpose. Genesis is slamming his head on the table.
Sephiroth: Hath the shattered dreams of the morrow.
*BANG*
Sephiroth: Wings are lost, dreams stripped away.
*BANG*
Sephiroth: Mystery in infinite is the goddess of the gift.
*BANG*
Sephiroth: Two friends go into battle. Three of them die.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
• Meanwhile, Angeal is under a table meditating. There's ten minutes to go until midnight. He just has to last ten more minutes.
• Suddenly, there's a commotion outside. Angeal slips his head out to see that Zack has attacked president Shinra. Apparently, the president had a 20lb lobster delivered to his table and Zack went feral. Four turks are trying and failing to pull Zack away from the lobster meat on the president's plate.
• Zack has failed his new year's resolution.
• Angeal rushes out. "I TOLD YOU YOU COULDN'T DO IT! LET GO⏤LET GO OF THE MAN'S LOBSTER, ZACK! ARE YOU GROWLING AT ME!? THAT'S IT *He slips his shoe off to use it as a weapon*
• Angeal has failed his new year's resolution.
• Meanwhile, Sephiroth and Genesis approach Tseng and Rufus. Sephiroth is smiling.
Sephiroth: Good evening, gentlemen. I hope you're having a wonderful new year's eve. How are you both?
Tseng: I'm well, Sephiroth, thank you. You're being awfully sociable,
Sephiroth: It's my new year's resolution.
Tseng: You're doing a good job!
• Rufus notices Genesis's silence.
Rufus: What about you, Rhapsodos? What's your goal for the new year?
Genesis:
Rufus: Do you understand my question?
Genesis:
Rufus: Oh, have I upset you? Are you mad at me?
Sephiroth: Genesis is just shy because he has feelings for you.
*Genesis snaps his head towards him, then looks at Rufus, shaking his head violently*
Rufus: ....Is that so?
Sephiroth: Oh, yes. He's just gone on and on about how attractive and charming he finds you.
Rufus: I had no idea you felt like this, Commander.
*Genesis is glaring at Sephiroth. If looks could kill, Sephiroth would be slaughtered*
Rufus: You don't need to be shy around me, Genesis. We can talk about this like men.
Sephiroth: That would be hard to do. Genesis claims to feel emasculated around me. It appears that my⏤quote⏤strong, unyielding masculine energy provokes his inferiority complex.
*Genesis is turning purple*
Tseng: There's nothing to be ashamed of, Genesis. We all have our flaws, you especially.
• Genesis inhales.
Genesis: THAT'S IT! I DON'T NEED THIS! I DON'T NEED THIS AT ALL. I'LL PAY YOU EACH 1000 GIL! HECK, I'LL PAY YOU 10,000 GIL EACH IF IT MEANS I'LL NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN!
*he turns to Tseng*
Genesis: HOW DARE YOU CLAIM I HAVE FLAWS. MY FLAWS ARE MY BUSINESS, YOU INSUFFERABLE LAP-DOG!
*he turns to Rufus*
Genesis: AND PLEASE! I AM SO OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE! HOW DARE YOU BELIEVE ALL THAT RUBBISH! THE ONLY FEELINGS I HARBOR FOR YOU, RUFUS, ARE CONTEMPT AND PITY!
*he turns to Sephiroth*
Genesis: WHENEVER YOU SMILE, YOU LOOK LIKE THE SHARK FROM FINDING NEMO!
Sephiroth:
Genesis: AND ME, FEEL EMASCULATED AROUND YOU? YOU, WITH YOUR GIRLY HAIR AND QUADRUPLE-D CHEST?? YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND.
Genesis: NOW, IF YOU GENTLEMEN WILL EXCUSE ME, I'M GOING TO GRAB A MICROPHONE, GET UP ON THAT STAGE, AND TALK FOR AN HOUR!
• Genesis stomps off angrily.
Tseng: He needs an exorcism.
Rufus: By the way, Sephiroth, why did you instruct the turks to deliver a 20lb lobster to the president's table?
Tseng: And why did you have me suggest to Angeal that he meditate under the table right across from the president's?
Sephiroth: Because I am a mastermind.

Welcome to the shitshow
We have:
A ✈ sighting. No pics.
The MPC live, scarce details. No rings. Spartan decor. Suntan and out of Bonnie Scotland. No further details on destination, which might or might not be the same as the flight. Mark me, I think it is - he is in Gran Canaria and for a very precise reason: keeping his part of the deal and his Onlies on tenterhooks.
C is seen in Marseille, hullaballoo ensues. We pinpoint some coincidental details. I was expecting the shite to hit the fan in 4, 3, 2, 1...
And it did. With both sopranos hinting at the same person, but only one brave (or rather foolish enough) to push a name out there. Disingenuous, to say the least - but oh, how convenient for any given agenda. Because it's too easy, when you give out a name to a thirsty crowd to say: 'well, of course it's because of the shippers! They did this or that (sky is the limit)! They are to blame!' (excuse me?) and 'well, of course they won't say a word, now' (how convenient if the thing does not stick, eventually).
That was, IMHO, a strategic mistake and the petticoat is showing across the pond.
Around the same time, I started to get a different kind of Anon, day after day after day. Very brutal. Foul-mouthed. And...with some intel. I answered the first, but then when things started to 'happen', the coin dropped very quickly that: a) I did hit a nerve and b) someone or some people wanted me to push this particular agenda - remember when...?
For reference:
Tumblr media
And then today, just in time for the long, boring, chilly and even snowy (depending on your location) week-end, the bomb dropped and the cargo was juicy:
A name. A woman. A gym. Not one, but three suspicious videos: the one with the leg, the one with the clear voice (unmistakably S!) and the one with the dog (and more S voiceover). How nicely connected. How fucking perfect.
An Airbnb close to the gym. What would a single woman traveler do in a three-bedroom gargantuan villa all by herself, when you are in Winterbird Central with a bajillion other accommodation options, is beyond any logic. So easily and lazily - OMG, date!
Unless...
Unless you conveniently forget some details:
Tumblr media
Not one, but three different promos/endorsements, with a discount code to boot - 10% off, how nice!
The one that has been discussed by just about everyone:
Tumblr media
The one that provided the discount code for new subscribers: Gymshark, a fitness attire manufacturer (https://eu.gymshark.com/).
And the most important one, hiding behind a humble hashtag: #metcon. Now I don't know you, but I'd rather digress about tea parlors and bookstores, and so had no fucking idea Metcon was, in fact...
Tumblr media
Yup. Nike. A very recent model - expensive and sure, in need of immediate product placement/promo:
Tumblr media
And so, for tax reasons, she just had to (mandatorily) include the #ad (as in advertisement, lest we'd not have naive Anons again!) hashtag.
Also, this, posted along the short reel with S's voice (but who cared, all 👂were there and only there):
Tumblr media
That woman was working. She has, after all, 450k Insta followers. If she and S met at a gym in a winter destination very sought after by Scots should be none of our business. If they met again or have a regular training schedule does not mean they fuck or that we're going to look out for Remarkable Week-end 2.0. If they met in Hyrox GLA - so what? What is this, I beg your pardon, Gilead? People just can't hang out, like ever, I mean men and women?
🙄
But.. but... the gargantuan villa...?
Och. Sure enough, the place is correctly identified. You can check chez Marple. I am not posting it, because I do not want to and by now, I trust just about everyone has seen those pics. But this time, I am not going there. The name of that villa, even, made me laugh like a drain. I mean how more in your face can they be?
Who footed the bill of this rather comfy PR shitshow, reminiscing of Ha-wa-wee, 🐰 and whatever else you could think of? SRH?
Perhaps. But what if Nike did, as a freebie to a very good promoter? They sure can spare the dime and, to be honest, as we speak, there is no sign S and her share anything else than a gym schedule. What tells us with absolute certainty, at least at this moment in time, she is not there with friends, family or even a group of fellow promoters, Avon-style?
Oh, and the world is definitely a handkerchief, especially in GLA, it would seem. Wanna know who also follows her on Insta?
Tumblr media
Paul Donnelly. Nope, not the chef. This Paul Donnelly:
Tumblr media
The one who literally owes S a shitload of cash. A post that earned me a report (I was just explaining, if I remember correctly, that S would have been wise to legally secure that hefty loan, nothing more).
And now you know what? That post is gone, vanished, poof and I have no idea why. I surely did not take it down, I never do this.
And surely enough, just before I started writing, Filthy Anon came back and warned me there was more (pics, 👅👄) about McFitness. Surely enough, the same info (albeit toned down) was picked up by *urv in her comments' thread, about twenty minutes after Anon dropped by.
Agenda, anyone? God forbid!
You draw your own conclusions. I can only very honestly say:
Welcome to the Shitshow - the Winter Edition!
This page is not going to follow blindly your script, whoever you are. This page simply hopes to cleverly hit a nerve every time it considers necessary. Other than that, big effing deal, really. Ship on.
Sorry for the length. I was never good at summing up.

hello sorry :"D lol imagine if the reader was Shin's "stress pillow". I mean, there's a person found among Goku's team who doesn't grab that god like a pocket dog under his armpit or on his shoulder, but just shares a hug. So when Goku commits some maximum/minimum threat and stress to the universe, Shin gets a hug from his "healing" human. This guy has been stressed and tiredly terrified for literally most of his life
(Hiii!! It's okay! I'm pretty happy for this ask and it's so freaking wholesome. I love the idea 💕, it's great!!)
Everything's horrible.
Ever since Shin has met Goku and the gang, life was never the same. Every waking moment is a nightmare and he's always the victim in it one way or another.
Mortals aren't what he expected ever since he came to Earth. He expected them to be weaker than his comrades but they exceeded far beyond his expectations. Shin doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that they're powerful beings.
What he does know is that whenever Goku wants a fight with a stronger opponent, it always spells disaster for the small Kai.
During a meeting, he assumed his usual role as the peacemaker, despite wishing he were on his planet enjoying tea with Kibito. A new face appeared among the attendees, and Goku had not yet made introductions. The newcomer stood quietly in the corner, clutching a bag, with a peculiar gleam in their eyes that frequently darted towards the familiar source of his troubles.
At Goku's smile, the small god knew that he's gonna make a horrible suggestion despite his good but questionable intentions. A sense of foreboding washed over Shin. Then something happens.
"GOKU! Go Fetch!" Someone shouts and an object was flying over the balcony. Goku surprisingly responds to the call and flew in the air to go right after it.
Coincidentally Vegeta follows after him. No doubt to race him to catch whatever was thrown in the distance.
Shin blinks once. Twice. And again.
"Are you okay?" Someone pats him on his shoulder.
Shin turns around and sees the same stranger from before. Sparkles surrounded you which made him squint his eyes.
"What exactly did you throw?" He asked with curiosity.
"One of my secret weapons." You chuckled. (It was meat on a bone.) You extend your hand to him for a customary human greeting. "I believe that we weren't introduced yet! My name's Y/n, what's yours?"
Despite the oddities, he feels a sense of relief as his hand touches yours. Upon sharing his name, your smile widens even further in response.
A pleasant sensation emerges within his chest.
From that day on, whenever he's present, you seem to be there as if you can secretly predict important events and you always manage to stop them from escalating further. Especially when everything's start to be too much for the god of creation, you would be there to gently tug him away from the situation promising him that you'll make sure that nothing goes array.
Shin knows that you're not as powerful as the Saiyans and that you could possibly get hurt in the process from Goku's antics.
Yet he can't help but believe your sweet words. You always had your way.
Eventually you both start hanging more around each other even when it doesn't concern the fate or the future demise of the universe.
During one of your conversations, he was surprised to find out that you enjoy collecting plushies. As he admires your collection, you sheepishly scratches your cheek. You admitted that it started in your youth where you would often seek physical affection from friends and family. Now that want was directed towards softer objects.
Among the plushies, he was amused to see one that resembles him. You stuttered when he reaches for it. It has your fragrance.
It wasn't as if he was sniffing around you, trying to discern your scent whenever you were near. Shin quickly dismissed the notion.
As Shin appears lost in thought, you gaze at him tenderly and offer, "If you'd like, you can keep it as a gift."
Your voice shatters his daydream, cementing his determination.
Rather than replying, he stammers and inquires whether it's alright to hug you.
Your cheeks turned a shade of red, your hands fidgeted nervously, and you gave a nod of your head.
Shin's eyes twinkle as he approaches, setting the plushie aside. Noticing his leisurely stride, you exhale softly and lessen the gap between you. Your arms start to enfold him in a warm embrace.
As you both cuddle, your bodies relax, and you pat Shin's back in a comforting rhythm. Shin comments on how nice it feels, and you hum in agreement.
The fragrance you carry gently teases his senses, yet he holds on, his embrace firming ever so slightly around your tender waist. Your head finds a soft perch atop his, the delicate strands of his hair caressing your neck, a playful tickle in their touch.
The deity found himself completely enveloped in your tenderness and the unfamiliar emotions it stirred within him, prompting him to snuggle closer to you.
Shin wishes that this beautiful moment could go on forever, but unfortunately, peace is always fleeting in this vast universe.
In a seemingly perfect timing, someone utters his name, as if in direct response to his thoughts.
"Hehehehe, what are you youngsters up to in this place? Something mischievous, perhaps?" Elder Kai suddenly appears out of thin air, as if his arrival is meant to disrupt your innocent embrace..
And just like that, the moment is spoiled.
Shin huffed in annoyance, poised to scold his ancestor for intruding into others' homes. However, he paused as he noticed Elder Kai had suddenly fallen silent.
Shin inquired whether he was feeling unwell.
Elder Kai quickly apologizes for his abrupt entrance and makes an excuse, claiming he is needed elsewhere, until you suggest accompanying him out. At this, the deity turns pale and manages a forced smile, insisting that he is fine.
Shin cocks his head, puzzled by the old man's unusual behavior.
Had the young Kai shifted his gaze toward your face, he would have noticed your pupils gleaming gold and your teeth honed to needle-like points.
Once you separated from him, your facial features returned to their normal state, and he was none the wiser.
He dismisses the strange behavior of his relative with a shrug.
From that day forward, whenever you're close by, he frequently seeks you out for cuddling sessions. Even when he's off Earth, he visits you in your modest home. You regularly travel to his planet after persuading Bulma to construct a teleportation device for you, ensuring that no more than a week passes before you see each other again.
Shin emits a contented sigh against you as you softly stroke his mohawk. Drifting off to sleep in your arms, he remains tranquil with his plushie by his side. A gentle purring sound fills the room.

DAY AND NIGHT ˚₊✩‧₊
summary: you have always been in love with your best friend, but you weren’t sure if he liked you back due to his behavior of flirting with many people, including you. but you finally get your answer when isagi takes you out.
contains: f2l-ish, it's implied to but yeah LOL, gn reader, 1.6k words, pinning from both sides, isagi calls you love, pretty, and babe.
nini’s notes: i quite literally hate this but the idea was cute in my head ok? (๑•́o•̀๑) i wanted this song to feel like day & night by jung seunghwan! you guys should give it a listen. lastly, thank you to ri (@riabriyn) for proofreading <3
Tumblr media
people often call teenagers and young adults in the prime of their lives. the reason why? because they are old enough to gain more freedom from their family, they can escape situations more easily.
summer break so far has been quite boring; the weather was too hot for you to go anywhere fun. you were lying carelessly on the floor of your living room, just staring at the ceiling. until isagi bursts into your home, happily walking in. your home is a second home to isagi, so knocking is unnecessary for him.
"y/n! get ready; we’re going somewhere!"  isagi excitedly jumped onto you after he found you. you made an ‘oomph’ noise due to isagi’s sudden weight.
"where are we going?
"that, my love, is a secret." he climbs on top of you and puts his index finger on top of your lips, showing how much isagi wanted to keep it a surprise.
isagi tends to be touchy with you and quite often calls you pet names. this usually causes misunderstandings between your friends because they think that both of you are dating, but isagi would always clarify, saying the relationship was purely platonic. nonetheless, whenever he is close to you or gives you cute nicknames, it always makes your stomach churn, not knowing if that feeling is good or not.
you turn your head to the side to avoid looking at his charming smirk, but you can't help but hide a smile forming on your face. "alright, isagi."
isagi gets off you and sits right next to you, saying, "go get ready and make sure you dress warmly; we’ll stay there at night."
the next thing you know, you’re in isagi’s car, driving through the streets, recognizing the roads until you no longer know where you are. with the soothing music on the radio and isagi’s humming, you start to feel tired. your eyelids slowly close with time until you lose consciousness.
"hey there, sleepyhead." you can feel a hand run through your head, massaging your scalp. the action was so soothing, it almost made you fall asleep once again.
"woah there, don’t go sleeping on me again, love. come on; we’re here." isagi stops massaging your head, making you whine. nonetheless effectively waking you up. sleepily, you look around your surroundings. you quickly concluded that isagi had brought you to a small local fair located in a park. so everything around you was surrounded by grass, children, vendors, and many people.
"come on! i’ll buy you as many snacks as you want. but not those carnival games; they’re a scam." isagi warmly smiles at you, quickly adding to that last sentence about fair booths. isagi holds out his hand to pull out of his car while saying that. damn. there goes your heart again. you hope isagi isn’t able to hear your heart pounding this fast. you take isagi’s hand, not wanting to leave him hanging for too long.
most of the rides were kid-friendly, so you weren’t exactly out of energy. after deciding you two were done with rides, you two went for the carnival games, and you scanned through the prizes for each carnival booth, which mainly consisted of plushies until an award caught your eye. the reward was a plushie of one of your favorite animals, and it was huge.
coincidentally, you and isagi approached the very same booth with the plushie that had caught your eye. isagi looked at the carnival game, and to his surprise, the game was a kick-and-score booth. the way to win is basically in the name; in front of the player is a cardboard wall with a soccer net painted. finally, a circular hole was carved out right in the middle of the soccer goal. all isagi needed to do was kick the soccer ball into that hole.
"one soccer ball, please," isagi said while pulling out the required tokens to play. this made you turn to isagi in confusion. you thought earlier that isagi had said these carnival games were rigged. now he is suddenly playing them? perhaps isagi is playing this game because the game is related to soccer, as you assumed.
and you weren't surprised when isagi’s soccer ball fits right through the carved-out hole, assuming that's why he won through the vigorous training he went through in blue lock. "wow, it's not easy to make that goal, kid." the booth keeper stated in awe. "which prize do you want? you can get anything." the booth keeper showed isagi all of the prizes he could choose from, but without a thought, isagi pointed at the very same plushie you were staring at minutes ago. your face quickly morphs into shock when isagi excitedly turns to you, handing over the plushie he worked so hard to gain.
"here, it's for you," isagi hesitantly said with an evident blush on his face. flustered by his actions, you still gratefully took the stuffed animal with a wide smile.
"thank you, isagi." you held the present up to your chest and held it tightly. you never mentioned anything about the plushie to isagi. but when you two approached the booth, isagi noticed that you were just staring at the prize you wanted. in his mind, he instantly knew he wanted to win that prize to make you happy. he’ll do anything to see you smile. "you two are such a cute couple. reminds me of me and my wife."
immediately, you and isagi turned to each other in confusion before turning back to the carnival booth keeper. right when you were about to deny the allegations of you two being a couple, isagi beat you to it.
"thank you." you blankly stared at isagi, taking a few seconds to comprehend what he just said. but before you could realize what he had said, isagi pulled you away and started to walk away before you could deny anything to the carny.
you didn’t know whether to say anything or not. opting to choose the first option, feigning ignorance about whatever happened earlier. isagi didn’t even approach any other carnival game after the first game.
you two continued to walk around the fair, eating some cotton candy or freshly made popcorn, until the sun started to set. isagi confidently interlocks his hand with yours, and he starts leading you away from the rides and off to the grassier areas. you can see people setting up blankets or even tents on the grass throughout the park. once you two found a clear spot, isagi let go of your hand and said, "hold on, i’ll be right back soon."
you stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. you waited for a few minutes until isagi ran back to you, holding two thick blankets between his arm and chest; the other was a picnic box. "here... i got these... for you." isagi puffs out from what you can safely assume was because of the running.
you helped isagi lay the blanket on the grass, and the two of you sat on it. isagi places the woven basket right in between the basket and opens it to grab something inside. you soon find out what isagi was looking for when isagi pulls out two white cloths along with two candles.
"we’re making lanterns!" isagi showed the white cloths excitedly. "it's a lantern festival." isagi continued, his hand gesturing to the people around you guys. when you looked you noticed each blanket had at least one shining light on them. you look up at the sky, and you can see the stars shining. you were brought back to reality when isagi jokingly accused you and asked, "babe, are you not going to help me build your lantern?"
you rolled your eyes, feigning annoyance, before scooting over closer to where isagi sat. in the midst of setting them up, isagi says, "we’re supposed to let these lanterns float at..." isagi checks the time on his watch: "eleven p.m., so in five minutes or so."
the time seemed to pass by quickly since you started to see people stand up and let their lanterns start to fly. you two start to get ready to release the lanterns. you hold the bottom of the lantern’s cloth and gently lift the light into the air with the countdown with isagi’s.
"wow." you exclaimed in awe, "the lanterns look so pretty." once the two your eyes sparkled from all the light from the lanterns and the stars.
isagi wished he had taken a photo of you; instead of looking at the lanterns, he was admiring you. his eyes stay on you and nothing else. "yeah, they look extremely pretty."
you noticed that isagi’s tone sounded a bit dreamy, which made you turn to him. who was already looking at you. your eyes widen slightly from seeing isagi turn pink from being caught by you; you were lucky to catch a glimpse of a flustered isagi because of all the lanterns. you laughed nervously. did isagi mean that you’re pretty? "isagi, you’re not even looking at the sky. how can you claim that the sky is pretty?"
"i mean, you are pretty."

braven and superbia theory :]
so my discord server allowed me to be stupid on main and rant about bravern at 11:30pm my time, so here’s just.. everything copy and pasted LMAO
also, posting this before ep4 drops, i can’t wait to see if any of my ramblings made sense
theory under the cut, spoilers for bang brave bang bravern ep. 1-3 and ep. 4 preview
the theory is this: bravern and superbia are the same species, possibly related to the deathdrives
firstly, in episode 1 and episode 3 we see bravern with a mask thing covering his face. and when you look at superbia, it seems as though they have something similar
Tumblr media
i wouldn’t say that part is superbia’s actual face, due to the purple highlights/crystal looking things on their body. bravern’s eyes are green, and he does have a green crystal or piece of glass on that gold part of his face
and also, bravern has a green background in his transformation sequences and when we first meet him.
there’s also a green trail left by him when he flies in the intro + uses his blade.
the show’s logo briefly flashes green in the op
and the green in bravern’s cockpit + the weird green liquid from ep3
and superbia’s eyes do flash purple in the op, so i’m willing to bet superbia wears a mask much like bravern when we first meet him
and now when you look at bravern and superbia, they do seem very much alike
plus, the opening hints at superbia being somewhat relevant at least, due to the fact that in most anime openings, the fight featured in it is at least somewhat relevant to the story
and also, bravern knows superbia
Tumblr media
the “you never change” implies that bravern’s fought against superbia before, or known them in the past
plus, the opening and show kind of confirmed lulu pilots superbia
1. lulu and isami have very similar outfits when piloting
2. this scene in the opening. the character does resemble lulu and the necklace looks like it was made to resemble superbia
Tumblr media
3. again, the weird liquid in the mechs’ cockpits
so in other words, bravern and superbia are definitely very similar
plus, we saw that bravern was losing to superbia without isami
without a pilot
and lulu magically appeared on a beach after superbia was defeated. and coincidentally, superbia was in the deep waters when we first see a hint of them.
and i just wanna point out that smith had no idea what lulu meant when she said her name, but bravern understood.
Tumblr media
and he didn’t look too happy about that
and in the preview for episode 4, we see a few scenes of bravern essentially being in a shitty mood. kind of looks like he’s lashing out here?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and then at the end we see a scene of lulu looking confused, and we immediately cut to this?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so to just tldr the point that bravern and superbia are part of the same species:
1. they share similar traits and visuals in the show (mainly the colours i talked about)
2. they both have pilots
3. they have a history together (we see superbia scoffing at bravern a few times, and bravern’s quote: “you never change”)
4. bravern shows a clear dislike for superbia and isn’t all too happy about lulu
and now, the other thing: bravern and superbia are some advanced form of the deathdrives, or are related to them
so first off, when the deathdrives are defeated, they go kaboom and explode into this weird cube shaped stuff
Tumblr media
and what happened to superbia after bravern and isami’s attack?
Tumblr media
additionally, when battling superbia, bravern attacked them with a punch, which they stopped with a purple shield
and what else uses a purple shield?
yup. the deathdrives
and in episode 2, bravern explains that they’re inorganic, metallic organisms that gained something like a conscience. and both bravern and superbia show to have that
bravern’s can be sean very clearly. he talks a lot.
superbia? all we hear from them are shrieky noises and scoffing. and what do we hear from lulu? also that
so to just tldr this entire rant/rambling:
bravern and superbia show signs of being from the same species. they both needing a pilot to achieve their true strength, without them they’re not as strong.
the deathdrives also show similarities to them; that being the similar way they “die” (we’re not sure if superbia actually died in ep3, so i’m putting the word in these “ ”guys), similar abilities (barriers/shields, flight, weaponry?).
so basically, to put all of this short: bravern and superbia are some advanced form of the deathdrives, probably existing to be something like commanders in an army, seeing how superbia kind of teamed up with the deathdrives?
anyway, hope this makes sense LMAO 😭

Viren is gonna live and here’s how
I’ve been thinking, technically Aaravos never says Viren has to be the one to kill the child because otherwise the spell won’t work. Yes, he says “You will sacrifice your other child” and “You must make the sacrifice” because in the moment he’s talking to Viren, but I don’t think the “you” is necessarily the important part - all that matters is the ingrediant the spell was named after. That the child is the sacrifice. And just like you can sarifice a lamb to a God despite not being a lamb parent yourself, the child can be sarifised by someone else. The ‘You’ is more of a red-herring. And the reason I think that is because of the foreshadowing in Viren’s dark-magic-dream-thing.
In his dream he sees Claudia walk into a body of water, which later actually happens and kinda breaks him out of his stupor. Two things are important here:
1. The order in which things are happening in his dream 2. When exactly the events in his dream are happening compared to what’s happening in reality
1. We see Claudia following Viren, saying “Daddy, look! I’m following in your footsteps!” while doing so quite literally and figuratively, essentially growing up. Her appreance changes but (!) it changes to how she’s looking at the time in the story, with her hair half white, her face completely normal. She’s walking straight past Viren (perhabs even surpassing him), not listening to him/unable to hear him, towards the black sun which coincidentally looks like the light of the Sunforge - as well as the light of the staff, obviously - after Aaravos corrupted it.
Tumblr media
While she’s walking towards the sun/dark magic/Aaravos/you get the idea, Viren is unable to reach her and both get swallowed by the wave, that she either simply cannot see or doesn’t recognize as the danger it is.
Tumblr media
Even under water he still cannot quite reach her - instead the scene cuts aways when he barely brushes her finger tip.
Tumblr media
And leads directly to this:
Tumblr media
Now, her hair is completely white (which we haven’t seen so far - Kpp’ar’s and  Ziard’s hair still has it’s natural color just with white strands, and Viren’s is mainly grey, not completely white despite suffering from a very early on set of the effects of dark magic), she’s pale, she’s covered scaring. And she’s carrying the corrupted black sun staff.
Tumblr media
She repeats Viren's mantra of “I'll do anything for our family, Dad. Whatever it takes. However dangerous, however vile“.
(I will.)
And after saying this, Viren once more reaches out to her
Tumblr media
but she just vanishes, becoming completely unreachable.
Tumblr media
2. While Viren is trying to save Claudia from drowning in his dream, Claudia is doing the same thing with him in reality. With one very important difference: Viren cannot reach Claudia, he cannot save her, cannot stop her from turning completely towards dark magic but Claudia saves his life.
Claudia is already dangerously close to Aaravos, telling Soren how great he is. And we had this wonderful foreshadowing in season 3:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which, by the way, happens right after this:
Tumblr media
In Katolis, she told Viren she’s there for him. In Xadia, it was “We're all that's left of our family, and I won't let anything break us apart.“ On top of the spire, she promised “I brought you back from the dead, and I am not about to let you go!“. And at the lake, right before walking into the water, she said “We've come a long way, dad. And I know this is hard on you but hang on.”
Claudia is doing what Aaravos told her because he told her he would save her dad. If he doesn’t, if Viren dies, I don’t think “oh well, I wanted to save him but he refused to kill Sir Sparklepuff and it had to be him, I couldn’t do anything lol too bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you have a new brother now though!” will quite cut it.
Aaravos knows in order to get Claudia, which seemingly is at least part of what he wants, he has to save Viren. That’s why he calls her a valuable asset right after she talks about how she’ll be there for Viren, showing how important he is to her.
Viren is - in Claudia’s eyes - her only family. The only one who never left her (at least not willingly). Aaravos knows he’s the key, the only key, to her. And just like Viren was willing to do anything to save Soren, Claudia will be willing to do anything to save Viren.
The only way for Claudia to still be on Aaravos side after Viren dies would be in some kind of a revenge plot against group Callum and Xadia for killing her dad but a) even then I don’t see why she wouldn’t be angry, at the very least, at Aaravos too and b) why this couldn’t have happend right after Viren died for the first time anyway. If Aaravos could just manipulate her into seeking revenge there wouldn’t be a point in bringing Viren back in the first place.
Aaravos needs Claudia to fully turn to dark magic, to him, which she will do by performing the powerful spell of making Viren’s life permanent again. And at that point, despite being the reason all of this happened, even Viren - just like in his dream - won’t be able to get through to her anymore.
(and I don’t mean this in a ‘Claudia-is-going-to-be-irredeemable-rest-in-peace’ way but rather like ‘despite-Viren-being-done-with-Aaravos-she-won’t-be-done-with-him’)

I’ve seen a number of posts dismissing discussions of racism in the new storyline out of hand. To the point where I have no idea what the original criticisms were. And I think that’s really unfortunate. Partly because it feels like there’s a part of our community we’re not listening to and partly because I have some questions on the subject and would really like to hear what people are saying about it, but I’m clearly not following the right people.
I think folks forget how important Eddie is as Hispanic rep. Although 25% of the US population is Hispanic, only 3.3% of lead roles in TV are played by Hispanic actors (source) They’re also only 1.6% of showrunners and 1.9% of directors. And they are also under 5% of executive or management roles in media (source). So there is clearly a systemic problem.
But how does that apply to 911? Well - Carlos on lone star is notorious for having the least screen time of any character, despite the fact that his character is the closest to Athena in terms of role. And Eddie? Well, the latest I could find was season five totals - and Eddie and Chim, the non-white or black men, were bottom of the barrel. To really establish a pattern, you’d want more than two shows, but at least across half a decade of shows, the pattern is pretty consistent. I’m not making an argument about the reasons for that, but those are just the numbers. If I were to speculate, I’d assume it was a combination of who the network exec, showrunner, and executive producer was, since they have the power to make decisions. Just coincidentally, their racial identities mirror the screen time of the characters? Hmmmm
So then let’s look at who does press for the show - making themselves more visible…yeah, that’s largely Oliver. And you can say that’s because he’s a POV character- but you might be surprised to learn that in many seasons either Hen or Athena had more screen time than Buck. Yeah. Really. But you NEVER see Aisha put out to do press the way that Oliver is.
Why is that? Is it because she’s a black woman? Because she plays a queer character? And who is making that decision and why? Because that lack of visibility impacts her personal career. Same thing with Ryan Guzman and Kenneth Choi, who both have less screen time AND less press.
But in particular- and this is the rub - Ryan has CLEARLY been making intentional acting choices FOR YEARS to shape his character and his dynamic with Buck as queer. Oliver played into them, thinking of them as natural chemistry- but it’s clear that other creators on the show - notably the directors and writers, picked up on Ryan’s choices and fan reactions to reframe the dynamics and the characters.
And it’s really clear that Tim originally intended to have Eddie come out, but the poor reaction to Natalia and the fact that the actress was unavailable led him to switch the storyline to Buck. All of which is perfectly understandable.
But if there’s one person most responsible for the reason we ultimately got bi!Buck, it’s Ryan Guzman - for the bravery and perseverance of his choices as an artist. It’s amazing to me that in all the praise for Oliver saying that he “would have” leaned into Buck as queer even without the go ahead…no one has thought to praise the actor who actually DID THAT - for YEARS- when he was in a much more precarious position as a character and an actor. Like really take a minute to look at what that took…he was risking his livelihood with that choice.
And then, when the show DOES finally make it canon…who gets the praise? The buzz? The support? The white guy who was mostly oblivious for the past five years. Like…how is THAT fair?
And OK, the original plan was for the helicopter pilot to be Lucy, and that fell through so they reached out to Lou, because Tommy was a former character- but also quite likely because he looks a good deal like Buck - and the SL was supposed to have that character be a stand-in for the other half of Buddie. When they switched to Buck, they had to make Tommy have similar hobbies to Eddie to establish the similarities, since they couldn’t rely on looks.
But that meant they totally whitewashed the story line. And if you want to talk about firsts - when has a Hispanic lead come out as gay or bi? And how many of them were men? And how many were over 21? And on a mainstream show?
And no, it wasn’t intentional (just a function of having so many more white characters than Hispanic characters), but it was unfortunate. Not to mention the intersectionality of it all.
So…I honestly think there’s a decent basis for critique there. Not a “these people are terrible” critique, but a “not paying attention to diversity systemically” in a way that lets unconscious bias have the same impact as deliberate bias.
And I really wonder at the people who just dismissed the entire discussion - how hard did you listen? How willing were you to hear what people were saying? Because this is an issue that has to do with real people, their careers, their hopes, dreams, and identities. And you should be willing to listen.

Autograph
Log 2600.04
Rating: General Audiences
Characters: Ivan (Alien Stage), Till (Alien Stage)
Pairing: Ivan/Till
Summary: Ivan talks to a fan. He doesn’t know his name, he doesn’t know his face, but he does know he has a strange inclination towards losing things.
Personally, he finds him very delightful.
Tumblr media
“—she saw it, I saw it, we all saw it. It looked like a segyein took a dump and rolled in it all across the platform. Really smeared it in. All the toilet paper got painted red.”
Ivan chuckled. Coincidentally, the marker that the artist was using seemed to be painted red as well, most likely as a result of the incident.
He raised his sugary drink and sipped from the straw. “I’m starting to notice a pattern.”
“That so?” The artist drawled, his head lowered at the sketchbook in his lap, his second one. The first one laid next to two cups of espresso, both emptied in a manner of minutes. It was a ratty thing, that book. All his books were. They preoccupied the artist’s attention, so direct eye contact was scarce. Ivan barely saw a glimpse of a light, blue-ish color in the shade of his hood. Teal, perhaps. It was really hard to tell.
He placed his drink down and leaned against the table. “You’re very careless with your belongings.”
“S’not my fault I got more important things to worry about.”
“Yes. Like your—“ An idea formed, and Ivan pulled a random sheet of paper out of the sketchbook. His companion guffawed, bony hands reaching for it, but to no avail. Now he could properly see all the shades of gray imbued into his skin, his eyes, his hair. If the hoodie he wore under his white, sleeveless jacket wasn’t maroon, Ivan wouldn’t have realized that his eyes are green. He tilted his head at his discovery with a pleased grin.
“Sheet music,” he flipped the page over, his gaze flying over the dreadful handwriting. “With the dullest bridge I’ve ever seen.”
“Shut up,” the artist snapped, his tone a little sharper than what he was used to hearing. Ivan was immediately addicted.
“Hm. The lyrics are off. Is this supposed to be a ballad?”
“Mind your fucking business.”
“Well, I’m proficient in ballads. If you need assistance—“
Finally, he snatched the paper out of his hands. Ivan let him.
“Your girl’s here,” he mumbled as he flipped the binder of his ancient sketchbook open and attached the ballad to a page with a crooked paper clip. So many drawings were attached in the same manner. It was really a shame he never showed off his work.
Ivan looked out at the street, and noticed his Guardian’s pristine white vehicle. He hadn’t even noticed how much time had passed.
“So she is.” Rising from his chair, he called out to the bartender to pay for their drinks. It was customary, and the artist never protested.
When all was said and done, Ivan offered the man a picture perfect smile, snaggletooth included. He wished he could offer something better, but the expression was long engraved into his facial muscles, too deep to be scraped off. “Thank you for your company. I hope to see you again some time.”
He pivoted on his heel, white coattails fluttering, until—
A grip on his wrist. A yellowed sheet of paper in his face.
Ivan blinked in confusion, then relaxed. He took up the artist’s pencil and the sketchbook, holding it carefully with his palm so his signature won’t end up too shaky. “I’m starting to think you’re auctioning these behind my back.”
“No, I’m—“ The artist’s thin lips twitched. His fingers readjusted the white, vandalized scrap of a jacket worn over his hoodie. His most eccentric piece of clothing, Ivan concluded. “Careless. I got careless. One got caught in the segyein shitstains. Acrylic. Whatever.”
“You’re lucky I enjoy doing this.” Ivan finished off his autograph with a flourish, cherishing the sketchbook’s texture before he handed it off. “Cheer up, sir, and good luck with your ballad.”
The artist didn’t respond to that. He never did.
As he entered the vehicle, Ivan leaned against the darkened glass to see him stagger forward, full of hesitation, only to bump into a rushing passerby. It took him no less than a millisecond to raise his middle finger and spout obscenities.
Ivan felt the silliest giggle bubble out of his throat. What a funny man.
“You should report him.”
His head swiveled to look at his co-passenger. Sua’s empty eyes stared through the glass, glued to the hooded artist as he shuffled his sneakers in the street and pulled at the seams of his fingerless gloves. “He’s been stalking you for two weeks now.”
“I know,” Ivan grinned. “I’m flattered.”
Sua’s fine brow lowered to her eyelids, a rare wrinkle rising on her temple. “He still has a gun in his backpack.”
He did. He never appeared without it.
His presence was consistent at Ivan’s favorite café. In spite of the place he claimed for himself, his silhouette smeared the small establishment like a splatter of paint. Ivan found the sight strangely mesmerizing, and he continued to stare long after the scenery in the window changed.
Sighing, Ivan hooked his arms above his head, shifting to one side, then another. He hadn’t stretched in the last two hours he’d been sitting in that café. His side was stinging again.
“He’s not dangerous. Just lonely,” Ivan said with confidence as he pulled out a black marker out of his coat’s pocket. The red acrylic on its surface chipped a little. Red flakes stuck to his fingertips.
“I should really bribe him for a name one day.”
