I literally truly and honestly cannot fathom creating The Force Awakens, from the score to the cinematography to the costumes to the editing, and then being like “nah Rey isn’t Luke’s daughter”

With Eliza at school and Luke nervous about a little girl a thought came to me.
How would Eddie react when Eliza came home and I just talked about a boy giving her things, like a picture of them holding hands?
And Luke talking to reader, asking how her dad made her fall in love with him.
Obviously you don't have to do this if you don't want to.
I love you.
This request just seemed like the perfect one for @munson-blurbs and me to write for Valentine's Day. I hope you enjoy and that Cupid shoots all of you in your wonderful butts with an arrow 💘

Little Eliza Munson slides her glittery green Little Mermaid backpack off and sets it down on the coffee table in the living room. Her small Mary Janes had been kicked off near the front door and now she tucks her pink sock-clad feet beneath her as she unzips the bag. 
First out comes the folder that her homework is always secured safely inside. Keeping with the theme of Disney Princesses, a smiling Mulan stares up at Eliza as she opens the folder. Before she can get to her homework though, a drawing slips out and floats down onto the carpet next to her. Heaving a sigh and rolling her brown doe eyes in annoyance, she snaps the folder closed as Luke traipses into the room.
Drawings weren’t uncommon in the Munson household. In fact, there was probably a drawing from every member of the family hanging on the over-crowded fridge. But as Luke glimpsed this slightly crumpled paper next to his sister on the navy carpet, he knew he didn’t recognize the style—or lack thereof—from anyone in the house. 
“Liza, whatcha got?” he asks his sister. 
“A drawing from my boyfriend,” Eliza replies, nonchalantly. 
A loud bang and a murmured “shit” from the kitchen has Luke snorting in amusement at what was obviously their dad’s reaction to Eliza’s little announcement. 
“Oooh, Liza likes a boooooy!” Luke teases as he walks over towards her. He bends over to pick the drawing up, but Eliza snatches it and slams it down on the table in front of her before he can. 
The little girl wrinkles her nose in disgust. “Ew, no! I don’t like him. He’s always eating sand from the sandbox.”
Ryan pokes his head in from the kitchen, his mouth full of food like he hasn’t eaten in days. “Hey, Luke used to do that.” He strolls over to his siblings. Luke glares at his older brother as he continues speaking. “When did you finally stop? Last month, right?” Eliza giggles and it diverts Ryan’s attention back to her. “Then why is he your boyfriend if you don’t like him?” The oldest Munson sibling takes a seat down on the floor next to the little girl. He tilts his head as he inspects the drawing the boy made for her. Ryan is able to make out that it’s supposed to be Eliza holding someone’s hand—presumably the boy who drew it. The little hearts around their heads in reds, pinks, and purples add the final touch.
Eliza shrugs. “Cuz he said so.”
“Who said what?” Eddie asks as he comes into the living room. He’s caught wind of what’s going on from being just on the other side of the wall in the kitchen, but he doesn’t wanna come in ready to send this four-year-old boy with a crush on his daughter to Siberia. “Please don’t tell me you listened to Luke again. Didn’t you learn your lesson when we had to unglue those shoes from your feet?”
Luke throws his arms in the air. “Why am I being attacked like this today? You know what, I’m going to find the one person in this family who actually likes me.”
Ryan smirks to himself and can’t help adding, “Wormy Munson died when you were four, dude. He’s long gone.”
Luke flips him the bird as he walks out of the room. Eddie crouches down and looks over the drawing with Ryan when Luke returns with you in tow. 
“It’s them,” Luke says in a whiney voice, pointing to his older brother and father.
You sigh and shake your head as you rest your hand on your swollen belly. “Why are you all picking on my son?” You wrap your arms around Luke the best you can in your heavily pregnant state and press a kiss to the side of his head. “My little angel did nothing wrong.”
“Yeah,” Luke adds petulantly, and it transports you back to when he was five. Ryan rolls his eyes and Eddie lets out a bark of laughter. Even Eliza isn’t buying it. Luke pretends to recover from his ordeal and turns to the little girl. “Okay, Eliza,” he says to his sister, “tell Mom what you just told us.”
“My boyfriend drawed me a picture, but he’s gross and I don’t like him.”
“He’s only her boyfriend because he said he was,” Ryan tells you. 
“Honey,” you say with a soft sigh, “if you don’t like someone, you can say ‘no, thank you.’”
“And if he doesn’t listen, you can always hit him with the one-two.” Luke demonstrates by punching the air. 
Eddie shakes his head and waves his hands in front of him. “Absolutely not.” You breathe a sigh of relief that he’s putting an end to Luke’s bad advice until he says, “you gotta kick, too. Aim for the—”
“Okay, that’s enough violence for our four-year-old, thank you very much.” You waddle your way into the kitchen and open the cupboard to find one of the few boxes that haven’t been ravaged by teenage boys. “Who wants fruit snacks?”
“Not Liza’s boyfriend,” Ryan snickers. “He’s still full from all the sand.”
Luke looks at you for a moment but doesn’t speak until you’ve handed a pouch of fruit snacks to Eliza. “Was Dad your first boyfriend?”
Eddie wraps his arms around your growing middle. “No, but I was her last,” he teases, kissing your cheek with an exaggerated mwah!
The boys mirror each other with their grossed-out faces. Luke shakes it off though and playfully nudges his father out of the way with his shoulder.
“So then how did he make you fall in love with him instead of with another boy?” he asks. 
An instinct is telling you that there’s more behind this line of questioning than simple curiosity of your and Eddie’s relationship, but you know better than to pry in front of his siblings—or his dad, for that matter. 
Taking advantage of the others being occupied by the snack, you tug Luke towards the front of the living room and plop down on a couch with him. You’re facing him as much as you can with a seven-month pregnant belly, adjusting to a comfortable position.  
“So, what do you want to know?” you start off asking Luke, keeping your eagerness to a minimum. The last thing you want to do is scare him away by seeming too excited. 
“Well, like…” Luke looks down and picks at a loose thread on his sock. “What made you want to be with dad? Like, you were in college when you two met. There were all those college guys, but you wanted dad. Why? What did he do to…get your attention, I guess?”
Your memory flashes back to when you first met Eddie. It feels like you’re watching a mini movie in your brain about how the two of you ended up together, a reel that wouldn’t be allowed on cable TV. The story isn’t exactly something you want to tell your son, so you comb through to find the bits that can be given as advice. 
“What did he do to get my attention?” You shrug and shake your head. “There wasn’t something he specifically did that made me want to be with him. It was a bunch of things that make up who he is. The first thing that caught my attention though was seeing how great of a dad he is to you two boys. You guys just adored him, and he’d do anything for you. It melted my heart.”
Luke chews on his lower lip as he considers your words. “So, there wasn’t something that he…bought you or anything?” He scrunches up his nose in contemplation. 
“Luke,” you say with a kind chuckle. “You can’t buy someone’s affection.” When he stays silent, you decide to press your luck. “Is there any particular reason you’re asking?”
His cheeks go pink; it makes you think how bashfulness is an odd look on the boy who is seemingly unfazed by everything. 
“There’s, um, this girl at school. And I was gonna ask her to the Valentine’s dance, but I don’t wanna look like an idiot.”
You smile. Mystery solved. Honestly, you should have known that Luke would be experiencing these kinds of feelings sooner rather than later. “Part of liking someone is taking that risk,” you tell him. “Although I highly doubt you’ll look like an idiot.”
“Yeah, I guess.” He shrugs, not fully satisfied with that response. “I just don’t wanna do too much, but I also don’t wanna do too little.”
The gift question makes more sense now. Usually, Luke’s gift-giving was reserved for birthdays or bribery, but it looks like he was making an exception to the rule. 
“Well, maybe you could get her a rose? Just one, not a whole bouquet,” you suggest. “And then you can ask her to the dance.”
“You think that will work?” Luke asks, a nervous quiver in his voice. 
It breaks your heart to see him this anxious, and you wish you could make certain that his plan will be successful. 
“Since I don’t know this girl, all I can say is that it should work. And if it doesn’t, she’s not worth your time because she doesn’t realize how thoughtful and caring you are.” You think for a second and then add, “not to mention hilarious.”
“And devastatingly handsome,” he quips with a straight face, making you giggle.
“Of course, that too.”
Your youngest son stands up from the couch and presses a kiss to the top of your hair. Pregnancy hormones have you tearing up as you remember when you used to do that to him. 
“Thanks, Ma.”
Luke helps you off the couch and as you walk closer to the kitchen you can hear your husband and daughter conversing. 
Eddie stands in front of Eliza with a serious expression. “Now, what do we tell boys we don’t like when they like you?”
“No, thanks!”
“Right!” He offers her his hand, and she slaps him five. “And now what do we tell boys if you do like them?”
Eliza thinks for a moment before remembering the answer. “I got a tall Daddy and crazy big brothers.”
“That’s my girl!”
Luke walks past and chimes in. “Tell them one of your brothers went insane from scurvy. Like it seeped into his brain and turned him into a flesh-eating zombie.”
The little girl makes a grossed-out face, giggling when Eddie gently slaps him upside the head. As if wanting to join in, you feel a kick from within your belly. 
“You wanna know how I snagged this gorgeous lady?” Eddie puts an arm around you and looks at Luke. “Turned on the ol’ Munson charm. It’s irresistible.” 
The comment about his irresistible charm plays on a loop all evening. Once the kids go to bed, it’s time for you to see if you can whip up some charm of your own. 
While Eddie brushes his teeth, you strip down to nothing. Well, nothing but the necklace he gave you on the night you two first slept together. The night you’d finally felt him inside you after months of using your own fingers and pretending it was him. The night he promised to knock you up with his babies. 
Mission accomplished. 
He walks back into the bedroom, his eyes immediately drawn to the pendant resting between your milk-filled breasts. 
“Jesus, baby.” He practically flies into bed and starts kissing you. His burgeoning erection presses against your thigh through his boxers. 
You tilt your head slightly, so he knows to move his lips to your neck. “Been thinkin’ about you, Eds. How good you treat me, how loved you make me feel…”
Eddie’s fingers find your clit and make precise circular motions. “Always gonna treat you good. Like my goddamn princess.” His mouth finds your collarbone. “The way you look when you’re pregnant…god damn.”
Smiling, you start to push yourself up, but he shakes his head. “I wanna spoil you tonight.” He positions himself between your thighs, licking a gentle stripe up your folds. “Tastes so fuckin’ sweet. Here, see for yourself.” He leans over your stomach and kisses you so you can taste your own arousal on his tongue. 
“‘S all about you tonight,” Eddie promises. He lowers himself back down and buries his nose in your pubic hair. His tongue glides over your clit, softly at first, but gradually increases in pressure. 
“Mhm, y-yes. R-Right there,” you murmur, relishing in the build-up to the stimulation. 
Eddie’s hips rut against the mattress as he wraps his arms around your thighs to pull himself closer to you. The feeling of your fingers tangling in his hair has him surging towards painfully hard. 
The soft moans and whimpers that float from your sweet lips break Eddie’s resolve and he reaches down to wrap a hand around his aching cock. He strokes himself in time with the flicks of his tongue over your aroused clit. 
“Eddie…Eddie—oh!” You throw your head back against the pillows. A pleasant warmth grows within you and it has you arching your back, legs tightening around your husband’s head. 
“Gonna cum,” you whimper.
“That’s my girl,” Eddie says against your dripping, throbbing pussy. “Cum for me, princess.”
Sparks dance in your vision as your orgasm breaks over you. It makes its way throughout your body, curling into every corner until it feels the absolute euphoria that Eddie brought you. 
Trying to catch your breath, you watch with dark eyes as Eddie pushes himself up to his knees. You know what he wants, so you lay down as flat as you can so it’s easier for him to crawl over you. 
Eddie’s still fisting his cock, the tip angry and leaking precum. He manages to straddle your body and braces himself with one hand pressed on the mattress right beside your head. His other hand works over his cock until the rhythm becomes erratic—your husband’s telltale sign that he’s about to cum. You only encourage this by arching your back and presenting your enlarged breasts and rounded stomach to him. 
With one final growl, Eddie releases over your bare skin. You watch as the pearly white lines make patterns across your belly with each pump of his fist over his cock. There’s so much and you love it. 
Once he’s finally spent, Eddie collapses down on the bed next to you. You miss when he’d just fall down onto you after sex, but the growing in your womb has put a pin in that for the time being. 
Neither you nor Eddie want to clean his cum from your body, but Eddie grabs his boxers and takes his time in cleaning you. If he went over your nipples more than once or maybe give a tit a squeeze here and there, what of it?
After a few attempts, you manage to roll onto your side so you’re lying face to face with your husband. He leans in closer and gently presses his nose against yours. 
“You always make me feel so good,” you say softly.
Eddie smiles and it makes your heart kick up. That smile will never lose its magic. 
“The pleasure is all mine,” Eddie replies sleepily. 
You lean in the last few inches and press your lips against Eddie’s. 
“Happy Valentine’s Day, baby,” you say.
“It’s not Valentine's Day yet,” Eddie says with a soft chuckle. 
“True,” you say as you curl up into his chest. “But I don’t need that day to tell you and show you how much I love you.”
“You’re right, sweetheart.” Eddie smiles and presses a kiss to the top of your head. “You’re my Valentine every day.”

There are many things that frustrate me with the writing of Annabeth in the PJO TV Show, but I think one thing that I haven’t seen people talk much about is the mini-arc of Percy needing to help Annabeth with her sense of fun/humanity.
Just so we’re clear, I absolutely hate this arc.
Prior to the show’s premiere, I believe there was a quote from Rick discussing new-ish things that we’d see in the show, and one of those things was Percy helping Annabeth “tap into her humanity”. I can’t find the exact quote, but it should be on the series update Twitter account if you search it.
When I first read this quote, I wasn’t exactly sure what it meant, but I thought maybe we’d get an expansion of the theme of forgiveness that we got in the original books, or maybe we’d get an arc about Annabeth’s pride and how that gets in the way of her relationships with others. Or maybe they’d try and break down the ways in which Annabeth helps to uphold the gods’ ways of doing things, and align her more with the mortal point of view (which they essentially did, but not the overall point).
What I certainly wasn’t expecting was for them to strip Annabeth of most, if not, all of her smaller/softer traits, and give her this unusually stoic and stiff personality, where she suddenly has no familiarity with casual aspects of the mortal world (movies, Disney world, common idioms), and needs Percy to introduce these concepts to her in an effort to “unlock” her humanity.
What.
The.
Fuck.
Words cannot emphasize enough how much I despise this arc. Not only is it entirely nonsensical for Annabeth not to be familiar with these things (she was with her dad at least until the age of 7 and she goes to a camp full of other children who are regularly in contact with the mortal world; do you seriously expect me to believe that at no point in her 12 years of life, she never saw a single film, heard of Disneyworld, or heard common idioms and slang terms from her camp-mates? Seriously???)
But ALSO!
Book!Annabeth had PLENTY of humanity to go around! Even with her pride and initial coldness towards Percy, she plays hackeysack with him and Grover on the first day of their quest! She has a cute silly crush/admiration/infatuation on Luke. She nerds out big time over the St. Louis Arch! She’s the first to steal clothing from Waterland! She screams and cries when she encounters the mechanical spiders! She has an expression of sadness when she shares her backstory about Thalia and Luke! She gets lost in her little construction game at the Lotus, so much so that Percy has to use her phobia to pull her out of the trance! She grabs Percy’s hand when they first enter the Underworld because she’s scared! She tears up when it’s time to leave Cerberus!
And you stripped her of all these things, because you’re so desperate to overemphasize the Percabeth romance, and you felt that it was absolutely necessary to have Percy educate Annabeth on “unlocking humanity”??? Why!!!!
Not only did Book!Percy help Annabeth discuss things about bad parents and approaching forgiveness, but Book!Percy already had something important to offer Annabeth: loyalty, trustworthiness, and reliability. You didn’t need to take away her already-present traits and wits to convince us that Percy was the type of person she needed in her life, because we can already see what he offers her in the books. So why oh why did you feel the need to give us the silly “tap into your humanity” arc? Why did you turn her personality into something that it wasn’t? Why did you take away her depth just so her character could better serve Percabeth?
I don’t even necessarily agree with the criticism that this version of Annabeth feels like it prioritizes Percabeth more, but I can see why people made that complaint. Y’all took away so much of what made this character endearing, because you felt like it was a much bigger priority to have Percy help her unlock humanity than to let her be human prior to meeting him and outside of him. Not only does her personality get shafted, but her relationships with other people get shafted too! Her interactions with Luke are affection-less, she sent Grover off on his own in the Lotus so she could go off with Percy, and I don’t even think that she and Chiron interacted once this season; I don’t even think she mentioned the part about her calling him to come pick her up after she attempted living at home again!
But don’t worry; we’ll get plenty of scenes doubling down and tripling down on how Percy is the center of her world now! Yay!

loser! luke who sees aphrodite!reader with tons of gifts and letters from admirers and gets a bit insecure about his crush on her but all reader really wants is for him to man up and tell her his feelings 🥹🥹🥹
loser!luke nation rise UPPPP. pathetic men are the best
pairing: luke castellan x aphrodite!reader
content: some suggestive themes, luke being so whipped for reader it hurts, daughter of aphrodite reader, mutual pining, first kiss (let's go luke you finally did it!)
listening to: right here by chase atlantic
you knew he liked you. he wasn't exactly subtle about it, but then again, no one was subtle to you. you were aphrodite's daughter. the goddess of love had blessed you with, among other things, the ability to sense feelings from a mile away. and luke's feelings were strong.
they changed depending on the day. every now and then, talking to him, you'd catch a tiny flicker of love from him. when you'd helped him look over strategy for capture the flag, his emotions rung out companionship, shot through with striations of the kind of love you have for a comrade in battle. mutual respect, and care. so much care.
now, when you're sitting shirtless next to him in the apollo cabin, squeezing his hand as one of the medics stitches up a wound on your arm, his feelings are dark. they're murky, as if clouded by something else. his eyes flick up to yours as you suck in a breath through your teeth, but they don't stay there for long; his gaze falls over your body; your chest, your stomach. the band of skin between your bra and your waistband.
you realize, a little slowly, that what he was feeling was lust.
so yes, you knew luke liked you, as much as any other guy did at least.
other guys at camp would give you gifts, ask you on dates. sometimes, they would write you letters, pages of messy, cramped demigod handwriting about how much they loved you. how they would do anything for you, how they could see themselves kissing you or fucking you or starting a family with you.
luke wasn't like that. he was your friend before he was anything else, and he didn't posture for your attention or try to impress you.
plus, you actually liked luke back.
he squeezes your hand again. "hey," he says, leaning over to look at your injured arm. "it's not too bad. only a few more stitches left."
you nod, biting your lip. luke's thumb rubs tiny circles over your knuckles, little concentric things that ground you to the world.
you wish, not for the first time, that he would lean in and kiss you. at least brush his lips against your hand, the way you can feel that he wants to.
you wish he would do a lot of things.
when the two of you are walking back to your cabin (because luke insists on being a gentleman, and you aren't going to refuse him when he smiles at you) he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a crumpled envelope.
"i was going to give this to you when we won capture the flag," he says, "but you...you got hurt, and i figured it might have been a bad time."
his eyes search your face as he holds out the letter. it's addressed in curving, fluid script to you, and as you open it luke's emotions flicker with uncertainty, with fear.
[Y/N], I think I'm in love with you.
oh. oh.
You're one of the only people who I can really be myself around. I could explain every reason why I love you, but that would take a lot more paper, and I already think this letter is going to be embarrassingly long. I've thought about you-
this sentence is scribbled out, but you can make out the faint outlines of the words even though you probably never give me a second thought imprinted into the paper. you look up at luke, who flushes a soft red.
You make me feel real. You're like a planet, and I'm just a moon orbiting you. Every time I see you, I feel like I can do anything in the world. I want to treat you right, better than anyone else ever could.
"luke," you say.
he looks up, and you swear his eyes are shiny with tears. "c'mere," you murmur, and pull him into a hug. "gods, you took long enough to tell me."
his arms wrap around you slowly, as if he's expecting you to be ripped away from him. when you pull back, one hand draped over his shoulder, he cups your face in his hands and thumbs over your cheek.
"can i kiss you?" he whispers.
I love you, and you are everything. You're the whole world. I would be honored to have you. — Luke.
"yes," you say back.
his lips meet yours, and you feel luke bloom with reddish-purple love. he kisses you like he's waited an eternity to do it, hungry, sloppy.
"i love you too," you murmur, and he laughs against your lips before kissing you again.

Hi Lumi. This year I’ve watched The Clone Wars, Rebels, Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and Tales of the Jedi and I’m watching Ahsoka as episodes are released. But I feel like I’m missing some context as to why people are wary of Filoni. What things should I know so I’m caught up, so to speak, in the fandom discussions?
Hi! That's a lot of Star Wars to watch in a year, I hope you're having fun with it all! And I will gently remind everyone that Filoni is not the be-all-end-all of Star Wars creators--Henry Gilroy was there for TCW and Rebels, too. George Lucas was holding writers' meetings years after the show started (at least into 2010!). The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett are far more Jon Favreau's shows. The Bad Batch is Brad Rau and Jennifer Corbett. Resistance was developed by him, but was run by other producers. It's just that Filoni tends to get the most camera time and has become the face of Star Wars creators. That said, the issue with Filoni is kind of two-pronged, though, they overlap. 1. He's done a lot of interviews where he's said a lot of anti-Jedi things that have drifted from reasonable critiques in the beginning to eventually "Qui-Gon Jinn was the only true Jedi. [blatantly wrong citations]" This has put a lot of people off him as a creator, because we love the Jedi Order that Lucas talks about and established, which Filoni has actively contradicted over the years, despite being promoted as someone who follows Lucas' themes. And it's hard not to be aware of his interviews when watching his shows and it's hard to enjoy shows that do your faves dirty, you know? 2. His writing has become weaker over the years for a lot of us--Rebels is a show most of us love and found to be incredible. Many of us really love The Clone Wars, which he was heavily involved in/was probably the central voice after Lucas started phasing out. But his biggest story told over the course of those series--basically, the story of Mandalore's history and fall to the Empire--has been extremely thin for a lot of us. And a lot of us get frustrated at his inability to be objective when it comes to Ahsoka's character, that we love her as a character very much, but it hasn't felt like Filoni really knows what to do with her character arc and yet almost everything he writes is centered around her. His final season of The Clone Wars? Gave her the walkabout arc and the Siege of Mandalore arc, both of which often did not hold up well under scrutiny. His episode of The Book of Boba Fett? I actually really loved it, but it absolutely just stopped the pacing of that show to focus a lot on her. More on Luke, but he couldn't resist putting her in there, either. Tales of the Jedi was half devoted to Ahsoka and so much of it wasn't even about her time as a Jedi! We're frustrated because he doesn't set things up well anymore--Morgan Elsbeth is a Nightsister?? Why wasn't that established in The Mandalorian instead of pulling out randomly in Ahsoka? Why does Sabine Wren suddenly so badly want Jedi training, when they barely even had a conversation in Rebels?? There's a lot of good that Filoni has given to Star Wars, I think he genuinely cares about the Force and what it means--he's very consistent on how it's not easy and how it takes discipline and control, that he has been consistent on how anger and fear are paths to the dark side, even his episode of TBOBF had Ahsoka saying, yeah, attachment is a path to the dark side, because the Jedi mean "attachment" in a more Buddhist-aligned way. A lot of his writing for the character of Ahsoka is actually pretty good, like I've been enjoying her being a prickly, traumatized hot mess in the show! It's just that I kind of hate all the interviews he gives and I think he's a lot less objective than a lot of fans and media coverage that would hold him up as a perfect writer/interviewee about all things Star Wars, and it all comes together to make him kind of a hot-button topic.
So, a lot of people LOVE Filoni's work, a lot of people are frustrated by it, a lot of people are casually fine about it, a lot of people HATE Filoni's work and it can be a fun mix of any of the above or even other issues that come up. (And that's all fine! I have my views on Filoni's work, but it's fine if others hate it more than I do or love it more than I do, there's room for us all, all of it is valid.)
But I think if you want to understand some of the roots of this corner of fandom's frustration, two (admittedly long as heck) homework assignment reads would be:
- My own rebuttal to Dave's behind the scenes Mandalorian Gallery talk (this is jokingly referred to as "Davegate" because I refused to take it too seriously) - @david-talks-sw's collection of comparisons between Lucas' commentary on the Jedi and Filoni's commentary on the Jedi
This response itself is more focused on laying out the problems a lot of people have with Filoni's writing, but also honestly I still have my giant collection of Jedi source material citations that quotes his commentary, I still bring up Filoni's quotes in current meta a lot, I still talk positively about the things I enjoy from his shows, so overall there's equal amounts of both praise and criticism here. So, as short as I can make it (which isn't very, shut up, I know! XD), that's basically what people mean when they say they're wary of Filoni.

*enables you* what happened with TLJ 👃
Tumblr media
After all these years I still can't properly find words to explain how deeply betrayed I felt after the credits rolled and I shuffled out of the movie theater with everybody else. There was a TON of hype surrounding this movie, an absolute fuckton. I only saw positive reviews about it, the cast, the director, the plot. I got excited to see where Rian Johnson & Co. would take the ST.
The only remotely negative comment I saw before watching the movie was a fandom blog saying they didn't like what happened to Poe. Since this blog was about racism in fandom, I knew something was off. That was my only warning.
And y'know, it was like, five minutes in? Ten minutes? And Poe makes a "Yo mama" joke at Hux? I used to go into movies with an open mind and spent days gathering my thoughts about them because I was always slow to react, slow to gather my thoughts into coherent strings of words. It's how I enjoyed Michael Bay productions and JJ Abrams' love affair with lens flare. I never got actively angry with a movie I was watching, and I was fucking angry by the time the movie ended. I still remember texting a friend while standing out in front of the theater because I was so confused. The response to TLJ was so positive so why did I come out of the movie so frustrated and confused and dissatisfied with the whole thing?
It's been years and we all know how this movie divided the Star Wars fandom and just... broke Fandom Spaces in a way I never expected. We all know what TLJ did and didn't do, and how TROS provided the final nail in the coffin that was the ST experiment. But back then, all I saw was positive commentary about the themes and messages of TLJ, how it portrayed failure and the dangers of putting someone like Luke Skywalker on a pedestal, how the Force was female, how... important it was to see Poe get characterized as a hotheaded hotshot who needed to be demoted, slapped around, and stunned in order to learn some kind of lesson, how important it was to see Finn lose everything he gained in TFA so that he could relearn how not to be selfish or something while starring in a fucking incredibly tone-deaf B plot, how Rey... I'm not sure exactly what because she didn't need training anyway and then spent most of her time trying to bring Ben Swolo back to the light????? Rose was so promising as someone who grew up under the FO's thumb but she and Kelly were fucking abandoned by Disney so I don't know if Rose existing was actually a good idea if it meant giving Kelly unending trauma. Mark slipped up by calling Luke "Jake" and expressing his displeasure in front of cameras, and I was so fucking baffled and alienated by his character after knowing how his story ended in ROTJ that I couldn't connect with whatever lessons I and he are supposed to be learning. JJ set up Snoke like a mystery box and Rian just yeeted him off without so much as a fucking explanation so what was the point of that? Hux was a fucking joke. Phasma was barely there. The only character that Rian cared about was fucking Kylo Ren and Adam says years later that he was never supposed to get a redemption arc anyway.
Like, this was the movie everyone hyped up? This was the movie that didn't answer any questions left unasked by TFA and didn't bother to move forward with character development for any of the known characters? I spent money watching a slow space chase that ended on a planet made of salt and killed off Luke for Reasons? Am I stupid? Am I dumb? Am I a peasant incapable of understanding the masterpiece Rian directed, this so-called Best Star Wars Movie Since ESB?
But I couldn't say anything. I couldn't be dogpiled for hating such a empowering movie for women, a diverse and inclusive movie that had the likes of John and Kelly and Oscar. I couldn't be lumped in with the Star Wars dudebros with their raging misogynistic and racist takes on the movie, the cast, Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm, Disney, etc. I couldn't be seen as one of them just because I didn't like a movie that I should like, I'm supposed to like. So I sat in silence, read meta, witnessed the fucking catastrophic explosion around some wild ass AO3 fandom essays written by a racist OG member of OTW about Finn/Poe, saw hate piled on black and bipoc fans, saw r*ylo fans come for John and John clap back at them, just saw an absolute fuckton of hate, and so by the time TROS came around I just... checked out. There was no way JJ could salvage what Rian had done and I was right. TROS was a corporate-run soulless garbage end to the Sequel Trilogy, but it ended just as The Mandalorian finished its first season and regained a lot of good will with this small story about a lonely Mandalorian bounty hunter who encountered a Force-sensitive Baby Yoda.
And then TBOBF/Season 3 of the Mando Show happened, just like how TLJ happened. All the promise, all the unanswered questions of the previous movie/season, all fucking dropped or provided with the worst, most unsatisfying answer. I'm sure others have found better answers and can live with what Star Wars gave us, but I haven't been able to. TLJ came out years and years ago, and I am still so bitter today. I'm still so bitter because TFA had such an incredibly compelling setup with such promising characters, and then TLJ Did That.
I got so heated while writing this. I'm still so mad. I'm still so bitter. I bury my head so deep in the sandbox I built for myself so that I don't have to think how Disney is twisting and contorting all these Mando'verse shows so that they all eventually lead to the ST, their precious hot potato child that just... didn't have to end the way they did if they actually had a fucking plan and fucking stuck the landing. I'll give the MCU this - their Phase 1? They fucking stuck the landing. I fell off the train tracks and haven't really watched the MCU since Captain Marvel, but at least they had a fucking plan and didn't fucking derail themselves like Disney did with the Sequel Trilogy.
I could be nice to people who like this movie but I'm not going to be. They can be nice on their own blogs.
Man, I can't even watch Knives Out or Glass Onion because my blood starts boiling. Just. TLJ did a lot to ruin what I hoped would be a positive and creative connection with Star Wars, and it took the Mando Show and the 2 minutes where Din and Luke locked eyes on the Imperial light cruiser to bring me back.
I'm gonna stop before I get way too heated for sleep.

just speculation, and after this i swear i'm going to write what i did appreciate in the show, but.
to me it kinda feels like riordan cast these three kids and went, these three children, they are my trio. and he should have! they're amazing - they're cast Very Well.
but then it feels like riordan assumed that because they already embodies the characters to him, that he didn't need to do characterbuilding in the actual fucking script. i get the feeling that the writers and showrunners are constantly both overestimating and underestimating walker leah and aryan. the scene with thalia? very much felt exposition dump. leah did what she could with she was a hero (and she kills her emotional moments, the parts that show annabeth's softness), but the themes came before the characters here and that for me feels a little unexcusable. annabeth is smart, we all know that, so riordan constantly forgets to show us that annabeth is smart. percy explains to annabeth how the lotus is in the air not the food. like HOW IS IT PERCY THAT FIGURES IT OUT BEFORE ANNABETH?
i think maybe grover/aryan got the best treatment out of them because of his scene with ares and the scene with the animals on the street, but even then the "betrayal" at the beginning felt slightly off. because percy never fully finished reacting to it (or if he did i don't remember which itself is not great)
which gets to another part of the writing / directing that's really getting to me. which is the relationships between characters, and how that's undermined by how short the scenes at the beginning of the show are. because more than half of the dialogue in the first two episodes ends up as (slightly unnatural or at least not in character exposition) and because the scenes (that is, however long a section before they cut to black and setting changes) are all wildly short (at least to me) there's no time for the characters to breathe. there are hardly any beats or pauses or just moments of breathing in a character's emotion or reaction.
going back to thalia's explanation, the scene ends after the exposition. going back further to luke showing percy around? all exposition. the subtle character moments are only in the scenes without dialogue and for a brief second at luke's introduction. there's no long scenes (from what i experienced) in the downtime, in the relatively quieter moments. only long scene i can think of was the fight with the minotaur.
even later, the scenes that are emotional and long? sally and poseidon. they don't allow grover's self-recrimination to breathe. they don't allow the panic after almost getting pulled into the Pit to breathe. the scene cuts, the emotion is squashed, and the next scene is more action, more traveling, more gods.
i think that this is partly why clarisse made such a big impression on me, because by design she can't be a part of the exposition. she's actively antagonistic towards percy, half of her scenes are some sort of action, and so the little characterization that we get of her (this time little is justified bc she's a side character) works really really effectively. you clock her character, her motivations immediately.
the scenes are getting longer. i think that this specific critique is one that will get fixed as the writers get used to the visual medium. but the rest? i really really hope that the writers realize that the characters just. need more space. i hope they trust their actors to play out these emotional scenes and i hope they give them more emotional scenes, more banter, more silly moments.

ok 1 ur desktop theme is GORG and 2 i need (if u wanna) ur thoughts about the show (or show sally in gen bc ur the only one i trust with her)
thank you!! i was actually thinking about updating it but maybe i wont 🤭🤭 and i have a lot of thoughts about the show except none only very few of them are good and i will be crucified by the 13-year-olds
im going to tell you anyway.
i will start with something i like....percy being angry. like yes give me the anger of a 12 year old who feels utterly alone in the world and doesn't understand (or does and it makes him more angry)
the fight scenes are dog shit. the only kind of cool one was in the arch but it was only cool because of percy doing the bait and switch and falling through the arch...the fights are bland boring sucky whatever other synonym you wanna use
uhhhhh sally jackson is not and would never be sitting in the rain pining of the god she told to leave....and especially not to teen pop...if she WERE going to act like a 16 year old and do the pining thing it would be to fucking like...billy joel and ricky martin and donny hathaway and stuff llike that okay...
i will preface this by saying that yes i understand that talking back to an abuser the way sally does in ep 1 doesn't make the abuse less abusive....however i DO not like the fact that that scene explicitly goes against sally characterization in the books....i am not digging my book out atm but the part where percy is like "my mother has never raised her voice or said an unkind word to anyone"....me thinks the writers all read the books 10 years ago and are going off of memory alone + or their brains are so clouded by the obsessive Big Screen Need to make women a badass girlboss slay queen i fucking hate it here
LET ANNABETH BE SILLY AND FUNNY AND CUTE AND CRY AND NOT BE AN ADULT THANK YOU....hated that they made annabeth the one to realize that it was medusa and not grover...give me back grover having to wrangle percy and annabeth into backpack leashes just to keep them on task/stop them from wandering off...book trio i miss you
i absolutely ADORE leah, walker, and aryan though the three of them are so so perfect, A+ casting no notes couldn't have done it better myself. if it weren't for the three of them i would have zero hope for the show i cannot lie...they're carrying. without them it's just..bad.
the pacing???? bad.
why did we waste half of the 4th ep on the train with echidna...stupid dumb pointless i hate it here
i do like the whole not all monsters are monsters and the gods aren't inherently good just because they're gods thing they've got going on though...very inch resting...silently hoping that they do a complete 180 and have percy side with luke and redo the series from there because that would be iconic as fuck <3 a girl can dream because at least then i could take the show at face value and not take 80 health damage every time they mess up a key part of the books...im at -29834 heath rn.
where was the time at chb before the quest??? the oh so important vital scene where luke teaches percy to sword fight???? like BRO that's soooooooooooo important to ME how could you get rid of that
not having annabeth show percy around camp
additionally, not having annabeth feed him the nectar and ambrosia, WHICH BY THE WAY they haven't even mentioned in the show yet...plot armor gone rip
not the fredrick chase sympathy while simultaniously blaming the woman...........rick when i get my hands on you...
annabeth having to EARN thalia's love??? absolutely not probably one of their biggest fuck ups fr.
the scene where sally is talking about Poseidon to percy...i do not like it sam i am. bad. not wistful enough not longing enough not sad enough not gut wrenching enough...also not completely here for sally telling percy that his dad was a god because....sallys whole thing was NOT telling him in order to keep him safe...i know they changed it in the show so sally knew he was going to camp immediately but that does not mean i have to like it
the scene with sally and percy in the pool. i hated everything about that. sally would never talk to percy like that never talk to him about money never make it seem embarassing NOT TO MENTION that percy simply wasn't scared of the water. that's stupid as fuck. theres a part in the book where percy literally says being by the water calms both him and his mom like...come the fuck on just admit you can't fucking read or at least didn't read the book.
sally annabeth get behind me so they cant hurt you anymore
i did loveeeee percy praying to sally though...absoutely insane and true of them. also the "I AM SALLY JACKSON'S SON" yesss baby you tell them about your mommy!!!!!!
them making athena moa level bad in tlt is quite interesting. setting up annabeth siding with percy pretty well.
also the whole impertinence thing over medusa's head was weird to me. when annabeth first said that i had immediately thought that annabeth's impertinence was telling percy to pray to poseidon IN ATHENA'S TEMPLE bc that made much more sense to me...but whatever
the annabeth/medusa parallel is intriguing at the very least
the underwater scene with the neraid was cool even though i hated the parallel to the pool scene w/ sally.
the dumbass pinecone fate line. 0/10 did you read the book? did you pay attention to how empathetic and reflective percy was when he found out about thalia?
honestly....i think disney was just the wrong place to go with this show because it's like what...pg? it should be pg 13 and should have more... sustenance.
this medusa was so cool though. which we could've seen a fight.
i need to know how many women are in the writer's room though...because It Does Not Look Good. funny how the characters that they're fucking up are all women....crazy. weird. totally coincidental.
are we just not going to talk about the vitality and pressure of getting the bolt back on time? where is the inherent inevitable danger, the suspense, the fear of not accomplishing a seemingly impossible talk looming over everything
this is 10000% not all of my thoughts but im not going to rewatch in order to collect them all so this is what you get xoxox

Bartender Shinso
Shinso x fem!Reader part 2
This is part 2 of Bartender Shinso- sorry for the wait! It’s more suggestive then the last one- but still not straight up smut. If there’s a tag I should use- please let me know. Also thank you for the request!🤍 part 1
Warning: Extremely Suggestive themes(is a warning for when it starts), drinking, mention of being self-conscious, pet names (Kitty, kitten,babygirl) the author doesn't know much about bartending
Dating Shinso is a little funny.
Your first date is in the morning, and he’s 15 minutes late. You’re chewing your lip, staring down at your Luke-warm coffee.
“ Y/N! I’m so sorry!” You hear Shinso shout as he runs toward you.
You look up and you realize why he was late. His eyes have such dark circles he could almost pull off a vampire. His lavender hair is mused from running. His purple flannel is almost hanging off his shoulder and he’s wearing black jeans with a black shirt with the club's names on it. He’s also wearing his work shoes. Something you’ve only ever caught glimpses of from over the counter. The shoes are purple, with messily drawn cats on them. He told you his little sister did them. He must have just got out of work- or very recently did. You mentally slap yourself for picking a date in the morning of all times.
“Shit- sorry. I-”
“It’s okay Sin.” Shin, the name makes him smile but his guilt creeps on still. “You just got out, didn’t you?”
He looks at you surprised but gives a tired grin. “That obvious?”
“You’re wearing your work shoe…. And the Club's name is on your shirt” You smile sweetly. He looks down, seeming shocked at his own clothing. His cheeks darkened in embarrassment. “I got out at 3 am… then ran around cause Eri has a cold and…” his voice trails off as he shakes his head, a tired smile. It causes your cheeks to darken. “Come on, let's go get coffee and some breakfast,” you ask with a small smile. “Or dinner, for you?” Shisno laughed again. You asked if he wanted to cancel, and he said no. You both just sat and talked.
Dating Shinso is funny. It’s almost like dating a vampire. Mostly at night, before his shift, or early morning when the sky’s still dark.
“Kitten, go home. I know you're tired,”
He says softly to you. Leaning over the counter to cup your cheek.
“No. I wanna be here when you get off shift.”
“Babygirl, they'll kick you out for closing.”
You shrug. “Then I'll wait till then.”
They do the first few times- then they just stop. Watching you take a broom and help sweep up or wash the counters, just wanting to help out to get Shinso home sooner. The owner laughs, asking if you want a job.
The bouncers know you by name, and the waiters smile at you constantly. “Aw, Shinso’s Sweetheart is here!” one of the girls always says. Her song voice holds nothing but love and adoration at the sight.
Shinso’s busy and tired, juggling college classes(I can't come up with just one subject so you pick- ) and work- so you'll usually help him out. Whether it be getting groceries or doing small tasks so he can rest or study.
You met Eri without Shinso due to this The young teenager spotted you at the grocery store. Quietly and slowly walking up to you. She had apparently seen a photo of you on Shinso’s home screen when he came to visit and wanted to see if it really was you. The two of you chatted nicely, your eyes glancing over her shoulder to see a dark-haired man leaning on the shopping cart. His eyes lazily watching the two of you.
“Ah yeah, that's Azawia. He can be scary looking but he's a good guy. He worked with social services while in the police force before he became a teacher.”
A year or two later when you move into his appointment , you’re still trying to stay up for him. Waiting till the wee hours of the night and early morning to see him.
He smiles when he sees you fast asleep on the couch. Your cat Purrbon (like bourbon but with purr) fast asleep on your chest. No matter how tired he is, he’ll pick your sleeping form up and carry you to bed. Tucking you in before getting ready himself.
Shinso usually wakes up much later than you do, which is no surprise considering your different jobs. And on days you really can’t stay up, he’ll check his phone to see a wall of messages. Spanning from “I love you” to dinner ideas or random thoughts.
“I don’t expect you to read them shin! I know it’s a lot. I just miss you and… well I need to get it out somehow and Purrbon and only take so many snuggles!” You’re embarrassed, anxious, worried he’s angry.
Ah, that’s right- Shinso remembers the time you got drunk with the girls and he came home from work to find the pretty calico cat covered in lipstick marks. (You’re friends drove you home)
Shinso smiles at the thought. “I don’t mind if you send them then. They’re nice to look back to on very late nights.”
Those late nights, he’ll come home to a meal wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge.
On some very early mornings, he’ll come home to find you sleepily at the stove in a bathrobe.
“Oh Shiny, you’re home.”
“What are you doing up?” He doesn’t mean to, but his voice is sharp and tired and he watches your shoulders drop. “No kitty I- I’m sorry it was a long night. Someone started a fight…” he mumbles into your shoulder, his arms around your waist as he presses himself into your back.
“It’s okay Shin, it’s late and I know you’re tired.” Your sweet sleepy voice says and his heart aches. He watches you make him eggs and rice, sitting down with him in the comfortable silence.
SPICE
Shinso’s also forced you to love yourself more. The love bites on your hips and thighs are hard to hide on some days.
“I’m not moving till you say it kitty.”
“Sh-shin- shin please this is embarrassing”
“Nah uh, kitty. Say it or nothing.”
His heart aches when he watches you struggle to see yourself in the way he does.
“Oh kitty you’re so fucking pretty. Fuck”
He comes up behind you in the mirror, his ringed hands resting on your waist. You’re both dressed for the club. He finally has a day off from working at a club and now he’s being dragged to a different one. Mostly at the constant harassment of his and your friends but still. He squeezes your waist.
“Kitty… imma have to be with you the whole night. Won’t be able to let you out of my sight.”
“What do you mean?”
“The other guys won’t be able to stop staring at you.” His rough voice whispers. “But they can’t have you.”He pulls your back flush to his chest, gripping your waist. He rests his chin on your shoulder. “You’re my pretty kitty. Only mine.” His rough voice whispers into your ear. “And I can’t wait remind you tonight. When I get that little dress off you and pound-“
“Shin!”

I cannot find the ask who requested for sick Wendy + Bella caretaker, so maybe it never existed at all.... Anyway, have some pure sick bromance between my girls.
--------------
"You think I should cut it?" Bella frowned at her reflection, glaring at her hair. She was standing inside of the changing room of the store, in just a swimsuit, so Wendy could help her pack for honeymoon.
"Your beautiful lion mane?" Wendy scoffed, curling up on the puff she was sitting on and absently minded going through the rack of reject bikinis standing next to her, "are you crazy?"
"Sometimes I feel like it stands out more than I do," Bella pouted, hands on her waist and then sighed, tugging on the swimsuit, "so what do you think?"
"I liked the blue one more," Wendy studied her from head to toe, "but I also think you're going to give Luke a stroke."
Bella opened a big, smug smile, looking over her shoulder to stare at her ass in the mirror, "good, then I'm taking it as well," she walked over to the private part of the changing rooms in order to get back in her clothes, "so how's the extra class you were gonna start taking coming along?"
"Which one of them?" Wendy asked, getting up and checking the price tag of a cute little pink bikini with a matching skirt.
"How many classes are you taking!?" Bella opened the curtain of her changing part, unbothered by the fact she was just in her bra and panties, "aren't you also doing the neurology residency!?"
"Well, you see, I have a lot of free time," Wendy shrugged, "and a lot of energy."
"You should join my boxing class then," Bella zipped up her black leather pants, "Jonah's there and I'm kicking his ass."
"No, you're not," Wendy giggled at the transparent lie, "no coach would ever match you up with Jonah, Bell, he's huge."
"Please," Bella rolled her eyes, putting on her band t-shirt and grabbing her purse as well as the picked swimsuits and bikinis, "I could kick his ass, I know I could," she walked over to Wendy and grabbed the smaller woman by her shoulders, "come up for a class."
"I'll think about it," Wendy wrinkled her nose in distaste. A gym wasn't exactly her idea of fun. Sure, she did hot yoga, but there was none of the loud upbeat music and shouting at each other to do more and better.
"So what else are you studying then, Tink?" Bella walked to the cashier part. Wendy handed her the piece she was planning to buy for herself when her friend flashed Luke's black card before her eyes with raised eyebrows, wordlessly putting it on his tab and Bell didn't comment besides snorting at it.
"Interior Design classes every Monday and Thursdays, yoga every Saturday morning, fashion drawing every Tuesday night... I wanted to try ballroom dancing, but my partner is in freaking Doveport and Jon said he already knows and it would be no fun."
Bella wrinkled her nose and shook her head when Wendy opened her mouth as if to ask her, "absolutely not."
"Boo," Wendy sighed, "I think we should take some class together, it'd be cool. Babs is in my hot yoga class and it's a lot of fun."
"Sure," Bella picked up the bags and they started to walk out of the door, "but not ballroom dancing, thank you. I'm actually participating in a coding challenge right now and-"
"A coding challenge," Wendy raised her eyebrows, "what's that?" They walked the short distance between the store and Wen's apartment building.
"Basically I have to try and design a mockup app with the monthly theme," Bella explained and Wendy frowned at that.
"I thought that was your job...?"
"No," Bell followed her inside the elevator, "I'm a backend developer, a frontend does the design and thinks the interface, I do the math that makes it work. But I like UI design, so that's why-"
"God, you're so nerdy," Wendy grumbled, resting against the metal and grimacing slightly as the movement made her stomach lurch, "I can't believe you didn't get shoved into lockers when you were younger, Bell."
The ginger rolled her eyes, "that's because I was always hot," she showed the other woman her tongue like a five year old, running a hand through her curls and then frowning, noticing Wendy's face had lost its usual pink tone.
Bella opted for not saying anything and they kept chatting, walking into Wendy's apartment. However, the longer they talked, the more Bell realized she was the one doing most of the talking, Wendy getting quieter and quieter.
"Wen," Bella pouted, after spending a good thirty minutes talking basically on her own, "do you want me to go? I don't need to spend the night if you're tired-"
"No!" Wendy exclaimed, shaking her head and moving on her spot on the couch, "sorry, no, I don't want you to leave. We planned you'd spend the night, I was looking forward to that, it's just-"
"It's just?" Bell leaned in, confused and Wendy grimaced, moving again as if she couldn't find a comfortable position, "what's wrong, Wen?"
"My stomach is bothering me," Wendy's cheeks turned a deep shade of red, "I don't know what's wrong, I know I didn't eat anything off, but it's all gurgly and kinda crampy."
"Oh," Bella raised her eyebrows, "do you think it could be hunger?"
Wendy shook her head, "no, definitely not hunger, I feel a little queasy..." she pouted, hugging her knees, "I'm sorry, its just my stomach- I- It's a bit of a sore topic."
"Your belly?" Bella frowned, more confused than before, "you feeling sick to your stomach is a sore topic?"
Wendy nodded, pouting and resting her cheek to her knee, "yeah..."
"Why?" Bella crawled on the couch, moving closer, "because you're chubby? That's silly, babe-"
"No," Wen scoffed, before pausing, "I mean, sorta? I used to have issues with my weight back when I was a teen, which led to becoming bulimic and, well, I don't have an eating disorder anymore, but every time I feel like I'm gonna barf, it makes me feel disgusting-"
"Okay," Bella raised a hand to interrupt her, "your order of priorities is a little skewered, Wen. You should've started by telling me you think you're going to puke..." she opened a small, amused smile, "let's go sit in the bathroom, c'mon."
"No," Wendy curled up more, "I'm fine, it's gonna pass- You're not gonna say anything about..?" she raised a judgmental eyebrow and Bell shrugged, standing up from the couch.
"I don't have anything to say," she said in a nonchalant manner, "I'm happy you don't do it anymore...?"
Wendy let out a snort, noticing how uncomfortable Bella seemed being in the emotional caretaker role. She rolled her eyes, "okay, Bells," but the humor quickly vanished, as her lunch flipped yet again. Wendy let out a sigh, curling up in a smaller ball, "I feel gross."
"You're not," Bella patted her head, "c'mon, let's go sit in the bathroom before you ruin your pretty rug."
Wendy didn't have the heart to tell Bell that sitting in the bathroom waiting to throw up really made her feel more awful, not less. She fidget uncomfortably as Bella rummaged through her cabinet drawers until she found a good claw clip to pull Wen's hair back.
Then she sat down as well on the cold ground and planted a hand on Wendy's back, "you feel a little warm, Wen."
"Isn't that just grand," Wendy groaned, leaning forward and staring at the still water of the toilet. She pushed away, fanning herself, "can you go sit in the living room? I don't want you to see me like this..."
"Nope," Bella popped the P at the end of the word, pulling Wendy to lie against her, "sucks for you, but I'm not going anywhere. Come here- Come here-" Bell pulled her closer, draped across her lap and planted a hand on Wendy's unsettled tummy, "I do this for Luke all the time and it helps."
"That's because your husband is an overgrown puppy, I'm not," Wendy groaned, but she couldn't help but melt at the soft touch. Even if her whole face was aflame, Bella was being really delicate, moving her fingers to the sorest spots as if she already knew them by memory.
The ginger slid down slightly, muffling a yawn and pressing the heel of her hand to Wendy's tummy. The pale skin was pushing out, bloated, and every time Bell pressed it she could feel a string of gurgles under her fingers, traveling up-
"Oh, you silly idiot," Bella scoffed, flicking at Wendy's ear, "the belly rub doesn't help if you don't burp. That's the entire point of it!"
"You're killing me," Wendy groaned, pressing her face to Bell's leg and hiding the angry blushing overtaking her cheeks. Bella snorted at that, continuing the rub.
"I'm trying to help," she whispered, "tell me know if I'm making it worse."
"Not worse," Wendy squirmed, then a burp rushed up before she could muffle it and she let out a whine at the loud noise, covering her face, "oh God- I'm sorry-"
"You're so silly," Bella chuckled, "that's nothing, Wen.”
Wendy cringed, pressing her face further to Bella’s thigh and continuing to burp, trying to muffle them. The burps, that at first were making her feel better, got progressively wetter, until one brought her lunch with it and Wendy scrambled up, slapping a hand over her lips and rushing for the toilet. 
She didn’t vomit, it went back down, but left her feeling shaky, nausea causing cold sweat to break on her forehead and over her upper lip, flooding her mouth with a horrible taste. 
“Wen,” Bell planted a hand in the middle of her back, “what do you need? What’s wrong?”
Wendy groaned, lifting herself slightly so she could press her sick stomach against the porcelain and resting her forehead on her hand, elbow on the seat, “can’t puke… Wanna puke, I feel-” she spat again, the act of speaking causing more saliva to come up, “feel sick…”
“Okay,” Bells continued to rub her back, short nails making a scratching motion, “do you think drinking something might help it come up?”
She felt so horrid, talking about vomiting like that. Wendy nodded, before letting out a groan, almost a sob. Not quite crying, but close. At least this time it wasn’t her fault she was sick, silver linings. 
“Babe,” Bella sighed, returning from the bathroom sink with a glass of water, “hey, you’re okay, it’s just a stomach bug. Happens to everyone…” 
Wendy took the glass with shaky, sweaty fingers and forced herself to gulp it down. The first sip was actually good, pushing back the horrible taste and the stickiness in her mouth, only for the throat to seemingly close up, tongue curling with disgust, making it incredibly hard for the to swallow more-
“Fuck,” Wendy haphazardly shoved the glass in Bella’s general direction, not even sure if she took it or not before letting go and her whole back arching with a violent heave. Nothing came up, but it set off a chain reaction, her belly squeezing before she could catch her breath and another two gags, until a wet burp brought up a huge gush of half digested french fries and a milkshake.
The sheer volume made her feel like she was drowning and Wendy coughed, hacking again and letting out a string of moans as even more puke rushed up, splashing on her fingers, and making her head swim with the lack of oxygen.
“I got you, I got you,” Bella said softly, cupping her forehead and flushing the toilet, helping Wendy lean over it, “get it up, Tink, you’ll feel better soon.”
“Urgh,” Wendy spat in the now clear swirling water, struggling to breathe. Her nose was stinging and it felt blocked, she felt cold all over… “Can I have more- More wa-” she never did finish that sentence, her stomach contracting violently and more puke rushed up, this time actually choking her. 
Wendy folded almost completely with a coughing fit, feeling Bell thump her back and force her to straighten up in order to clear her airways, “big breaths, babe,” Bella tipped her chin back, forcing Wendy to look up, and some clear air to make it through. 
The smaller girl groaned as oxygen came back, her spine giving up on her and she fell back, only for Bella to grab her by the wrists and stop her from swan diving and hitting her head against the porcelain. 
“Fuck, fuck, fuck — Hey, Wen? You with me?”
“Uhm,” Wendy closed her eyes, dizzy and nauseous, still gulping for air. She leaned to the left, her cheek meeting something soft, so Wen let her weight drop against it, “feel…” a little burp interrupted her, “really shitty.”
She heard Bella let out a relieved sigh at her being responsive, then the ginger’s hands on her face, something wet wiping her lips and chin. Wendy frowned, a new wave of humiliation washing over her, “don’t do that…”
“Shush it,” Bell scoffed, pulling her to lie against her, “you’re done? Surely you must be empty…”
“Don’t know…” Wen mumbled, planting a hand to her tummy. Bella had pushed up her top and it was still up, which made Wendy feel even worse. She must be a sight. Under her hand, there was a string of bubbles and gurgles, rushing up and causing her to let out a little sickly burp, “don’t feel done.”
“There ain’t no way,” Bella scoffed, but there was an amused tone to her words, “well, okay, do you want to just wait it out here or-”
Wendy forced her eyes open, feeling more than a little dizzy. It took her a second to realize she was pressed against Bella’s side, her cheek against her friend’s boob, causing her whole face to turn pink with embarrassment. She pulled back, then leaned forward over the toilet once more and shoved a finger inside her mouth, only for Bella to yank at her hand. 
“No, absolutely not,” Bella’s voice was harsh now, none of the previous lighthearted air, “you’re not doing that.”
“I don’t feel good…” Wendy whined, spitting in the water, “I want it out…”
“I don’t care, you’re not doing that,” Bella scoffed, then in a calmer tone she said, “let me rub your tummy, okay? Maybe it’ll help.” 
“No, Bell, I-” Wendy heaved, a mouthful of watery vomit falling in the water and leaving her panting, “I need to puke, my stomach feels sour and like it’s burning…” 
“Alright,” Bella had a practical tone that caused Wendy to groan, like she was a little engineering problem for her friend to solve. The ginger got behind her, pushing the glass of water back to Wendy, “big gulps.”
“Not- Not gonna-”
“Big gulps,” Bella repeated, voice firm, “c’mon, Wendy.”
Wendy sighed, blowing out another airy burp and then forcing herself to drink the rest of the water. It landed in her stomach like acid, causing more of the burning sensation that tickled her throat and Wendy groaned, leaning more-
Bella touched her belly, her fingers no longer that soft, pressing the heel of her hand to Wendy’s bloated upper stomach, right where it rounded out of her rib cage. The pressure caused a gurgly burp to come up and Wen moaned, squeezing the toilet seat with both hands, as Bell continued to literally squeeze her tummy. 
She couldn’t breathe properly, making a slightly wheezy sound, and then her stomach contracted once more, sharply, and Wendy moaned her way as another gush exploded out of her mouth. This time it was mostly sour, salty water, but the first gush opened the gates for the rest and she continued to gag, puking little mouthfuls of chunkier stuff, until she finally let out a deafening heave, whole back curling as her stomach forced up the last of it.
Wendy groaned, her knees giving in and she felt Bella wrap her up with an arm, flushing the toilet, “there you go,” the ginger pressed a kiss to the top of her head and Wendy would have started crying, if she wasn’t half convinced she already was. 
She whimpered, pushing her face against Bella’s stomach and falling into an awkward position across the woman’s lap. Bell seemed unbothered, combing her fingers through Wendy’s hair, then moving her hand to her tummy.
“How are you feeling?”
“Pathetic, disgusting, horrible-”
Bella glared at her, “that’s all bull,” she said sharply, “I wanna know how’s your belly.”
“Ah… Better. Not settled,” Wendy sighed, curling up her knees, “I think it’s the flu.”
“I think it’s the flu too,” Bell agreed, “you’re really warm. Think you can stand up? You need to get out of these clothes and into bed.”
“Not now,” Wendy mumbled, squeezing her eyes shut when shaking her head no caused the bathroom to blur, “I’m sorry you had to-”
“Madre de Dio, Wendy!” Bella cried out, “babe, you didn’t gross me out or whatever, just stop fucking apologize. It’s fine, you got sick, that happens.”
Wendy let out a whine, forcing her eyes open, all feverish and emotional and wanting to die, “you don’t think I’m gross? I mean, I-”
“Wendy,” Bella grabbed her cheeks, forcing their eyes to meet, “what world do you live in where we’re running beauty contests on the bathroom floor?”
The phrase caused Wendy to let out a chuckle, pulling back and forcing herself to sit up. She wiped at her forehead, desperately wanting out of her the clothes that were sticking to her, “I guess.”
“You guess,” Bella repeated, dryly and rolling her eyes, “that’s a ten for Wendy Marshall for puking her guts up with class and elegance, minor sobbing and almost no mess.”
Wendy’s cheeks caught on fire and she glared at her friend, “shut up, Bella.”
“You’re ridiculous,” Bell scoffed, getting up and extending her hand to help her up, “c’mon, let's get you in a shower and then in bed.”

Could I have a quick ask please for the obey me bros? How would they react if their girlfriend was secretly a magical girl? Like the monsters attack her boyfriend, but she transforms in front of him to save him! She’s angel themed (extra love if she looks reminiscent to Lilith!) and she’s nearly defeated! How do the bros react?
Thinks your transformation is cool, but you know he can defend himself, right? He's a demon/sorcerer, after all. But still appreciates your sentiment - Satan, Beel, Solomon, Mephistopheles
Waiting for you to regain consciousness so that he can lecture you for intervening, but then gives you a hug and is thankful that you are alright - Lucifer, Belphie, Barbatos, Raphael
In awe when you transformed and too shocked to realize you were nearly defeated. He is worried about you and can't stop apologizing for not noticing you were injured earlier - Mammon, Asmo, Diavolo, Simeon
Feels a little uncomfortable with you resembling Lilith since it resurfaces old memories - Beel, Belphie, Raphael
OMG SAILOR MOON IN IRL! - Levi
Awww, you look adorable, but why did you step in!? - Thirteen
Cries his little heart out because he is worried about you - Luke

Romance Will Reign Supreme | Austin Butler x Reader
Request from Anonymous: wondering if you could please write Austin Butler and his non-famous girlfriend shyreader are hanging around at the amusement park. Austin is so deeply in love with her & the two of them are just being an adorable couple and everyone is shipping them so hard, just hardcore fluff. Thx and I love your fics btw
a/n: posting this early as a HUUUGE thank you to y’all for 400 followers!! I honestly can’t believe it y’all are so sweet 🥺 to the dear nonnie who requested this: i hope it’s okay I made the reader gender neutral here! As a genderfluid person myself (though I lean more fem most days), I’m working on writing more gender neutral inclusive language in my fics! (in case you were wondering, the title is from a Tangled song! who knows which one it is 👀)
Word count: 1.4k
Warnings: a couple swear words, inaccuracies about California & Disneyland, Austin being adorable, I think that's it? As always, please let me know if I missed anything!
Thank you so much to my bestie @austin-butlers-gf for helping me with this!
Please like/rb if you enjoyed! 🤍
Tumblr media
“Babe, you ready to go?” Austin calls from the hall.
“Yeah!” You reply, grabbing your bag from where it sits on your bedside table. You step out into the hall, double-checking you have everything first— phone, sunscreen, wallet— before turning to your boyfriend, asking for about the twentieth time that day, “And you’re sure it’s okay I’m coming with you? I know you said it was a cast meetup, I don’t want to intrude on anything—“
“Y/N,” Austin places his hands on your shoulders, the sincere look in his eyes cutting off your nervous rambling, “I want you to be there. Besides, everyone loves you. They all practically begged me to bring you along.”
You nod, reassured for the moment. “Right, yeah. Thank you.” You give him a small smile, feeling a little bad that your anxiety keeps getting in the way of what’s supposed to be a fun day.
“Always, sweetheart.” Austin replies, pressing a quick kiss to your lips before pulling you along to the car waiting for you.
Dating a famous actor, especially as the painfully shy, decidedly not-famous person you were, wasn’t always the easiest thing. But Austin did his best to keep you out of the public eye, and the castmates and colleagues he introduced you to were always the sweetest people. Like, for example, Baz, Dacre, Luke, and Olivia, whom you were going to meet up with at Disneyland today for a celebratory “the press run is over!” hangout.
“Y/N!” Olivia squeals as you head over to meet everyone near the entrance inside the park. She rushes over to hug you, Luke and Dacre not far behind her.
“‘Wow, Austin, it’s great to see you, how are you?’ Oh I’m great, thanks for asking, guys,” your boyfriend complains jokingly as his colleagues shower you with attention.
Olivia turns to him with a playful smile, “Oh hush, I was stuck with you for two years, I hardly ever get to see them!” She punctuates her sentence with a final squeeze around your midsection, releasing you to rejoin Baz and his wife, Catherine. The two of them greet you, mischievous grins on their faces, and you soon realize why as they pass out Elvis-themed mouse ears. The pink and black ears are bedazzled and covered in pearls, with a giant gold “EP” on one ear and the iconic “TCB” lightning logo on the other.
The group gushes over them as they put them on, Austin taking the liberty of putting yours on as if he were placing a crown on your head.
“You look adorable, sweetheart,” he says with a smile, pressing a quick kiss to your cheek. An “awwwwe” goes up from the group as they watch the interaction, and a heat entirely unrelated to the California sun floods your face. You’re quick to focus your attention on your shoes until the focus turns to the day’s activities, Austin pulling you close as Baz goes over the plan: find rides to go on together before the lines get too long, find food, walk around to take some pictures with characters, and there might be time for people to go off and do their own separate things before meeting back up to say goodbye at the end of the day.
You enjoy the slower paced rides: the teacups, It's A Small World, all the usual ones, but you start lagging behind a bit as the group heads towards a… very large rollercoaster. Apart from Olivia, who shoots you a slightly concerned look that you wave off with a small smile, most of the group doesn’t notice, too engrossed in the conversation they’re having. Austin, however, isn’t so easily convinced. He hangs behind to walk by your side, intertwining your fingers and saying softly, “I know you don’t really like these kinds of rides. If you want we can just hang out and go get some food or something while they go…”
You hesitate, glancing over at the rest of the group chatting excitedly. “I… I don’t want you to miss out on all this stuff just because of me—“
“If I get to spend more time with you, I’m not missing out on anything, I promise, sweetheart.” Austin assures you with a sweet smile. “Hey guys!” He calls to the group ahead of you two, “I’m kinda hungry, I’m stealing Y/N to go get some food with me. We’ll meet you guys after, okay?”
Warmth floods your chest as he draws all of the attention to him, the group waving him off with a “have fun you two!”
You squeeze his hand in thanks as the two of you turn to walk away, and he squeezes back, looking at you with a soft smile. The line at the ice cream stand he drags you over to is short enough that you’re able to enjoy the Mickey-shaped treat before it’s time to meet up with the others again.
You meet the others at the exit to the ride, Olivia yelling something about how Luke was “absolutely terrified the entire time!” — with Luke vehemently denying it — as you make your way to Café Orleans for “some real food,” as Baz had put it.
Austin is practically glued to your side throughout the meal and even afterwards as you’re making your way through the park to take pictures with characters. It’s sweet, but eventually you have to extricate yourself from him to rehydrate, going off in search of refreshments.
He sighs, slouching at a table as he awaits your return. Olivia slides into a chair near him with a smirk.
“They just went to get a drink, they’ll be back in a minute, Aus.”
Austin blushes, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth, “I know, I just…” he trails off, unable to explain exactly how he’s feeling; he hasn’t felt this attached to someone in a while, but after getting to spend so much time with you since the press run ended, it’s hard for him to pull himself away.
Olivia gives him a soft, teasing smile. “Don’t worry, Aus, it’s cute how much you care about them. The two of you are honestly adorable.”
“Yeah, I…I really love them,” he says finally.
Whatever Olivia says in reply is just a buzz in Austin’s ears as he sees you rejoin the group with an armful of water bottles. You feel heat flood your face as Austin comes over to help you pass them out to everyone, telling him quietly, “You guys didn’t have to wait here for me, I would’ve caught up eventually.”
“Well where’s the fun in seeing Rapunzel without you?” he replies with a smile, pulling you along with the group towards where Rapunzel is indeed waiting, a line of adults and kids alike waiting for a picture.
After a fairly long day of rides, pictures (both with characters and group photos for social media), and plenty of money spent at gift shops, you all finally make your way to the exit, smiling faces tanned from the California sun. You say your goodbyes and lean against Austin as you slide into the car, the long day of socializing finally taking its toll. Austin wraps an arm around you comfortingly, taking note of your exhaustion.
“I know it was a long day, but I really can’t thank you enough for coming along, sweetheart.”
“It was fun,” you reassure him, “I think I just need to curl up on the couch and not talk to anyone for a week after today,” you joke, laughing softly as you turn and tuck your face into the crook of his neck, making yourself comfortable for the drive home.
“Even me?” he says, and you can hear in his voice that he’s doing that silly mock pout that he’s criminally good at.
“Never you, honey, you know you don’t count.” You smile. He knows that when you complain about not wanting to have any kind of social interaction, it’s him and maybe a couple of your close friends that remain the rare exceptions.
“I’ve got your favorite ice cream in the freezer, and we can just sit on the couch and read or something in silence when we get home,” he suggests, and you can practically feel your heart melt because he knows you so damn well.
“That sounds perfect,” is the last thing that slips out of your mouth before you’re asleep on his shoulder, Austin’s eyes on you like you’re the only thing on the planet that matters.

The Man Who Sold The World | Luke Castellan
Tumblr media
Spotify Playlist Link
Katherine. She was the one who started it all for Luke Castellan, the reason he did what he did.
Warnings: Mature themes/language. Violence. Sexual content.
Chapter Seventeen
Chapter Eighteen: Behind Blue Eyes
“Between worlds, the father is torn,
Without a soul, the mother is worn.
April’s daughter was never born.”
Katherine quickly wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked up Luke, who seemed to be growing increasingly claustrophobic up in the attic of the Big House.
Not long before at all, when they had just realized that their baby would be born in the spring, Katherine Montalvo and Luke Castellan had changed their minds again, deciding that, were they to have a baby girl, they would have named her ‘April’, so that her name could be close to May Castellan’s.
“A little girl,” Luke whispered, a lost expression in his blue eyes. “We would’ve had a little girl.”
“Do you think she had a soul?” Katherine murmured.
Under any other circumstances, Luke could’ve truthfully given her the comforting answer to her question. But that day, he didn’t know what to tell her, so he decided nothing would be better, as she just nodded understandingly. Earlier that day, Chiron had sadly allowed the two of them up to the attic to consult the Oracle of Delphi, knowing that they had questions about the sex of their unborn child.
And now, for better or for worse, those questions seemed to have been answered as Luke silently helped Katherine down the ladder, still holding her hand as if she were a princess being helped down from a horse drawn carriage.
Neither of them seemed to have anything to say, emotionally bankrupt by the loss they’d suffered. They both immediately retreated to Luke’s bedroom in Cabin 11, which they’d hardly come out of in the past week. Needless to say, Chiron had long since stopped caring about their sleeping arrangement.
Luke and Katherine once again retired to bed, as Luke lay beneath his girlfriend, arm wrapped around her as she rested on his bare chest. Katherine was comforted by his faint smell. She couldn’t describe how he smelled, other than the fact that he just smelled like him. He smelled clean, but also kind of earthy, especially when he bothered to spray cologne on.
Luke held her close to him, forehead resting on her head as he closed his eyes comfortably. He offered her a short and sweet peck on the lips for comfort, as she accepted it lovingly. She stopped before reaching for him again, giving him another, deeper kiss as he gently gripped her shoulder. He kissed her, losing himself in her for a moment, until he felt her tongue softly flirting with his.
Completely sobered, his eyes opened suddenly as her kisses migrated to the side of his neck, growing harsher and harsher.
“What-What are you doing?” Luke asked, as she stopped.
“I… Think it’s pretty obvious,” she murmured. “Do you not like it?” she asked him.
“I…” he didn’t know how to answer. “No, of course not, it’s just… Right now?” he said awkwardly.
“Well, not if you don’t want to,” she said softly, her demeanor changing immediately.
Although she wasn’t fazed by it or anything, Katherine had never once seen Luke turn down sex with her. Of course, she more than understood why, but she’d simply never had it happened before. Never once had Luke not been in the mood to do it with her.
He’d been in the mood in the drive-ins late at night, and in the alley behind the grocery store that one time in New Jersey, and that one time after they’d killed that harpy, and that one time in the middle of that farm in California. Of course, Luke wasn’t the kind of person who had an insanely high sex drive, but when it came to Katherine, he was always ready to go.
It wasn’t so much disappointing to her that he’d just turned her down as it was concerning for her. Ever since they’d lost the baby, Katherine had been worried Luke would never be himself again. Although he was perfectly functional and capable of enjoying little moments with her, he’d still changed a lot. Even his wardrobe had changed, getting more heavy on the darker colors.
“It’s not that I don’t want to,” he shook his head quickly, “It’s just… I don’t feel like I can right now.”
“That’s okay, baby,” she promised, trying to lighten the mood. “If you don’t want to, I don’t want to. Simple as that, no questions asked.”
“But… Clearly, you want to,” he reasoned.
“Luke, just forget about it, it’s okay,” she reassured him, “If you don’t feel like it, you don’t feel like it. I’m perfectly happy with what we were doing before.”
“Right. But,” he thought, a strange look on his face, “You really wanted to…?”
“What do you want me to say?” Katherine said in confusion.
“I don’t want you to say anything,” he sighed, rolling over on his back as he tried to explain himself.
He sat up after a moment, a troubled expression on his face.
“I just… I’m surprised you can think about that right now.”
“What. Sex?” she questioned. “You can say it, Luke, it’s not a bad word.”
“I know it’s not a bad word,” he said dismissively, “But, I just… How can you think about that right now?”
“How can I think about that right now?”
Her voice was small and meek as she looked at him in confusion, not recognizing him as he spoke.
“Katherine,” he said, trying to level with her, as he sat up, “You just lost a baby, a week ago…”
“I’m aware, thanks,” she said quickly, finding the tone the conversation was taking uncomfortable as she tried to digress.
“How can you think about sex right now?” he asked her, genuinely not understanding.
He looked genuinely hurt.
“Because… I love you?” she questioned.
“But, that’s really what you’d enjoy right now?” he questioned. “Sex?”
Katherine stammered in disbelief, dumbfounded.
“Well, not if you don’t want it!” she exclaimed.
“But, you wanted it!” he argued.
“Is it a crime, to casually wanna have sex with someone you love?! It’s not like I was insistent on it, I told you, the second you expressed you didn’t want to, it didn’t appeal to me anymore!”
“No, of course not!” he yelled frustratedly, trying to reassure her. “I just… don’t understand!”
“Jesus christ, it’s not like I’m horny and trying to get some ‘hanky panky’ going!” she exclaimed. “I just… wanted to feel good with you.”
“How could we possibly be feeling good right now?!” Luke demanded.
“I don’t know!” she shouted. “I don’t know, because you say you want me to get better, but clearly you hate it every time I show interest in anything that’s not dead baby talk!”
That comment caused a long silence as Luke buried his face in his hands, unsure of what to feel.
“I might’ve lost a baby, but I’m a real fucking person!” she yelled as she angrily got out of bed, throwing a jacket over her clothes. “I have my own feelings! All sorts of them! Sometimes, I do feel depressed that I could’ve had a daughter, a real, live daughter to love and take care of! And sometimes, I also feel like I still love you, my boyfriend, and I wanna spend time with you, and love you, and do normal things with you!”
Luke grimaced in pain as he looked at her, overcome with grief.
“I’m sorry if you don’t wanna have sex right now! I should’ve have tried, that was stupid!” Katherine cried guiltily. “But, I’m a person too! I have my own feelings!”
“Do you?” Luke asked quietly.
“…What?” she choked.
“Ever since we lost the baby, you only seem to half agree with every bad thing I feel,” he sighed, “It’s like you’re only half here.”
This time, Katherine was completely speechless as she tried to fathom the logic behind his words.
“Well I’m fucking sorry that my grief isn’t enough for you!” she screamed. “I’m so sorry, Luke! I already lost a baby, but hey, if it’ll make you feel better, maybe I’ll start eating fucking ice cream by the gallon, and watching Casablanca! Or maybe I’ll slit my wrists with a broken pencil sharpener, would that be enough for you?!”
“You know, we’re not gonna get anywhere if you keep making a joke out of everything!”
“Were we ever getting anywhere?!” she demanded angrily. “You said you didn’t wanna have sex, and I said we could move on, and keep doing what we were doing. Everything could’ve been fine, we could’ve been fine!” she wailed.
Fighting his own tears as he started to panic, Luke began to understood that he’d been in the wrong, realizing his own frustration.
“Hey, hey, Katherine,” he tried to fix things as he reached out for her, “I’m sorry…”
He watched as she lightly shoved him away, running out as she pulled either side of her black sweater in towards her chest, hands too shaky to work the zipper.
“Katherine!”
Luke ran out after her as she stormed out of Cabin 11, unable to stop the tears.
“Katherine!” he repeated. “Katherine!”
He knew he should’ve kept apologizing, or something, but that was all that would come out as he stood at the door, knees locked as he knew chasing her wouldn’t help anything. Katherine walked off toward the woods, even in the dark, wanting to get as far away from anyone as possible.
She furiously rubbed at her eyes with the sleeve of her hoodie, unable to be still even for a moment.
“Hey!”
She turned around, startled as she headed further into the woods, not expecting anyone to come after her.
“Annabeth? What are you doing out here?” Katherine questioned.
“Isn’t it obvious?! I heard the yelling,” the girl answered her.
“Go to bed!” Katherine yelled angrily, storming off further into the woods.
“What happened between you and Luke?” Annabeth ignored her. “Is it… stuff with the baby?”
“Aren’t you Athena kids supposed to be smart?!” she huffed, marching through a small clearing.
“What happened?” Annabeth Chase repeated.
“None of your business.”
“Luke’s my friend,” the twelve year-old persisted. “And so are you,” she said quietly.
Katherine finally turned to look at her. She knew Annabeth had eventually come to trust her, surprisingly, but she never knew that Annabeth had actually liked her.
“Why do you care so much?” Katherine asked skeptically.
“Because you’re my friends, and you’re going through something awful,” Annabeth said honestly.
Katherine sighed, worn down as she just shook her head, standing there in silence.
“So, are you going to tell me, or are we just gonna stand here?” Annabeth questioned.
“It’s… adult stuff,” she said finally.
“‘Adult stuff’,” Annabeth said flatly.
“Yes.”
“Okay. Fine. Don’t tell me, it doesn’t matter,” she decided.
“Why not?” Katherine asked, not understanding her change of heart.
“Because. I can tell you’ve already half worked it out,” she remarked.
“No. I haven’t,” Katherine admitted. “I just love him.”
“That’s my point; you know you love him,” Annabeth stated. “You know you love him, so the problem will become smaller eventually.”
“Maybe,” she muttered, sighing as she just shook her head at the whole situation.
“I think you need some space,” Annabeth said after a moment.
“Why do you think I came out here?” Katherine said impatiently.
“That’s not what I’m talking about,” Annabeth shook her head. “I mean, real space. Some time on your own.”
“But, I just got back here,” Katherine scoffed.
“And you just lost a baby,” she reminded her. “It sucks, but maybe you need some time alone to process it.”
“I don’t like how much sense you’re making,” Katherine said under her breath.
“Me neither,” the girl admitted. “But maybe it’d be better for both of you.”
“But, we just lost a baby,” Katherine reasoned, “We need each other.”
“And you have each other,” Annabeth agreed with her, “But you also don’t wanna hurt each other in the process. A little time away isn’t a bad thing. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, right?”
“…Right,” Katherine sighed.
She stopped for a moment, realizing that for the first time since everything had happened, she could actually breathe.
“Wouldn’t it be better to leave and come back calmer than to stay here, and get angrier?”
“Probably,” Katherine nodded, running her hands over her face in exhaustion.
Annabeth looked up at her in wonder, silver eyes widened. The older girl’s pain was something entirely unfamiliar to her, something she had no frame of reference for. Annabeth understood most of the feelings that all the other girls she came across at the camp had, knowing the reasoning behind them and having an idea of what they felt like.
But this time, she knew nothing about what this person was feeling, this person who she’d grown to think of as a sort of surrogate older sister.
“Katherine?” Annabeth said, cutting through the silence.
“Hmm?” she looked down at her, trying to pay attention.
“Even if it’s just for a little bit… I don’t want you to go,” Annabeth said, seeming a bit confused by her own emotions.
Katherine’s expressions softened as she looked into the younger girl’s eyes.
“I don’t wanna go, either,” she promised. “I’ll miss Luke, and I’ll miss you too. You remind me of him…”
Annabeth tried to hold in the sudden burst of sadness she felt, genuinely taking heart the comparison to Luke. Luke was one of the first people Annabeth had ever truly befriended, and he was like a big brother to her. All she’d ever wanted was to be like him, to be seen as being like him.
All of a sudden, Katherine realized what it was she saw in Annabeth’s eyes.
“You know… When I was pregnant… I imagined what my daughter would be like. When she grew up,” Katherine said quietly. “And I still do.”
Annabeth nodded, listening as she spoke.
“I always imagined she’d be just like you,” she whispered. “Pretty, with Luke’s eyes… And strong, and smart, and funny.”
Annabeth started crying as she considered the compliment. Katherine chuckled through her own tears as she admitted how strange of a thought it was, looking at the younger girl that could’ve been an older version of her own daughter.
“Can I…” Katherine swallowed her pain. “Can I just give you a hug?” she asked, as if not expecting the question herself.
Annabeth wasn’t necessarily one for physical affection. She didn’t understand it, and she very rarely reciprocated it. But looking up at Katherine, she nodded, silently appreciating the gesture as Katherine wrapped her arms around her, allowing her awkwardness to slowly fade. Katherine sniffled as she held the girl close to her, knowing that one day, she and Luke would betray her trust in pursuit of the world.
Luke begged her not to go, as she packed up her things and loaded them into the car she’d stolen, but even he knew it was better she not listen. He watched her drive off, alone, genuinely afraid that that would be the last time. He hoped that she’d come back to him, even finding himself hoping he’d at least get to see her leave again.
*****
Luke had continued to assure himself a few weeks since Katherine had left that she’d come back. He’s heard from her a few days after she’d left, saying that she’d be back eventually, but that was it. He was worried, extremely worried, but he didn’t show it.
He eventually went back to his responsibilities as Head Counselor of Cabin 11, burying himself in his obligations to try to avoid what was really on his mind. He didn’t even discuss Katherine with anyone, until a satyr named Oliver returned to camp, bringing a new Half-Blood.
Oliver had approached Luke at the table during dinner, immediately after the offerings had been made, hoping to be able to speak to him.
“Luke?” he asked.
“Hey. Oliver,” Luke remembered his name. “What’s going on?”
“There’s, uh… something I wanted to talk to you about,” he explained. “Something I heard from a friend, one of the Searchers out looking for Pan.”
“Yeah? What is it?” Luke asked him.
“You, uh… You know the Lotus Eaters?” the satyr asked him.
“Yeah. Of course,” he responded, not understanding.
“You know their lair?”
“Yeah…”
“Well, my friend Ackley, he got lured into their lair, this crazy casino in Vegas. Barely got out,” Oliver explained. “He told me he saw a lot of demigods there.”
“Yeah?” Luke followed along, not yet seeing the significance of this.
“Yeah. One of them?” Oliver told him, trying to break the news to him as delicately as he could. “Got there, like, a couple weeks ago. Said she was a daughter of Nemesis. Refused to leave; he tried to get her out, but she was just too deep under the spell,” he tried to make himself clear.
But Luke had stopped as soon as he heard ‘daughter of Nemesis’.

Imagine being Aemonds enemy yet biggest obsession.
TW!dark themes, yandere tendencies, sicko Aemond, rap3 Mention!, injury, bastard!reader, suicide! Mention
Tumblr media
After Viserys's death and your mother's loss of baby, the news of the throne beeing usurped by Aegon didn't sit right with you nor your family at all. You love your mother and know she deserves the throne she worked so hard for, it's not like you also have a deep hatred for the Greens.
Soon enough your mother decided to send you and Jacaerys for allies, you offered to go instead of your little brother. You got on your dragons back and left for Storms end.
The ride was long but you and Ghost managed to get there in a day and half a night.
Finally landing, you look around. A loud is heard, Vhagar.If the huge dragon is here it means her vicious rider must also be here.
You and Aemond never got along, or that's what you like to think.You only started hating each other after the accident.You defended Lucerys when he mutilated Aemonds face , you knew Luke was guilty, but as his older sister it was your duty to protect and defend him.
Wich also means Aemond is here on his brother's behalf.
You quickly make your way to Lord Baratheon to hand him the letter your mother sent you here for.
The guards open the door for you one you identified your self , letting you in. You make your way to the dark hall , wich at the end Lord Baratheon sits down.
You search the room and notice the prying eye of Aemond Targaryen. The man who wants you dead most likely.
-Lord Boros, I come here on behalf on my mother,the rightfull Queen of the Iron Throne.-
Your eyes meet Aemonds once you said that, letting him know you're no longer the little kid he used to know.
You hand over the letter to one of Lord Baratheon's servants, wich he quickly deliveres.
-Curious, not to long ago I received a messenger from the King-
Aemond doesn't even hide the way he strips you naked from skin to bone in his vile imagination.
-wich is it? A Queen or a king after all? -
You don't fail to notice the way you're being stared at by the Second prince, he gives you the creeps.
-The house of the dragon can't seem to know who rules it-
Boris continues as in mocking your mother and you at the same time.He chuckles.
-what message does she have for me?-
You hand over the letter to a servant, who quickly delivers it, He than not so nicely calls for the Maester, the idiot can't read.
Aemond stares at you as if you killed his whole family, To reasure yourself you grip the dagger seated at your hip hoping to ease you a bit, wich it didn't since he smirked.
The long silence was then broken by Lord Boros's angry voice.
-Remind, me, of my fathers oath? -
God how you hate his attitude. He then continues.
-King Aegon at least came with a betrothal offer, what does your mother have to offer child? -
His arogant voice rings thought the large hall.
You were a bit shocked to hear that Aegon sent with a betrothal, you know he's already married to poor sweet Haelena, wich gives you a reason more to hate him, so that leaves...
That's why Aemonds here, once you make eye contact with him he smirks, an icy look on his face.
-My Lord, I'm already betrothed to Lord Cregan Stark, wich I cannot take in of your sons as Husbands I can assure you an alliance with my mother would treat you better rather than the usurper that Westeros is calling king. -
You confidently stated, looking at Boros than at Aemond.
Aemond wasn't pleased with the information he received, why didn't he know about this? Are his spies completely usseles?
He clenched his jaw in anger, he wasn't jealous, he despises you. Why would he be jealous of a bastard that doesn't belong to him, neither does he wish for, at least that's the little lies he fills his head with. He likes to think he will own you to make you suffer for what your brother did to him. Aemond finds it easy to blame you than a small child, imagine how pathetic it is to lose your eye to your nephew.
-So not only you come empty handed, you also insult the king of Westeros? -
Boros leans forward a bit on his chair, looking insulted.
-Leave, child. -
He waves you of as if you only wasted his time.You decided not to fight it anymore, as you were sent a messager not a fighter by your mother. You nod and turn around ready to head to dragon stone.
- I shall tell my mother the side you picked , my Lord. -
You chose to leave it that way and leave for home.
-Wait.-
The unfamiliar voice perked st your ears. You stopped in your tracks even tho your instincts were telling you to keep moving.
-My Strong Lady,-
Aemonds offensive voice made it's way to your ears.
-i tolerated enough slander you trew at me and my brothers ,my prince..-
You clenched your fists , not wishing to spend one more second there.
He smirked.
-Did you really think you could fly above the realm as a traitor to the crown?-
-Trying to steal my brother's throne at no cost?
He continued.
You tolerated enough, especially when it's about your mother who you love and respect.
-My mother is he true Queen, I can say the same about you, my prince. -
You defend, venom lacing your voice in the last part of your sentence.
-the difference is my mother doesn't drink herself to death and share whores most of her time, unlike a known somebody.-
You glare at Aemond for daring to disrespect your mother.
-But today is not the day we fight, prince Aemond, I'm not here to start a war I cannot end, or take your other eye.-
You smirked, noticing the way his jaw clenched at the mention of his old wound.
-to battle with you would bring me no satisfaction. I want you to put out your eye... As payment for mine.-
Aemond took of his covered patch and revealed a beautiful blue crystal replacing his long healed wound
He stared at you , taking his dagger from his belt and throwing it at your feet.
-One would do, I won't blind you nor take away your... Beauty.-
He mocked you as you raised your head.
-Plan to make a gift of it to my mother.-
He smirked with his head help up high.
-I will not do such thing for a fight belonging to the past.-
You took a deep breath to calm down you anger st the mention of Alicent.
Lord Baratheon is staring at the two of you, tension so tick it could cut throats.
Once you refused, his look completely changed, from the collected calm prince to rage.
-Than you are craven as well as a traitor.-
-Give me your eye, or I will take it you bastard whore!-
he violently stepped towards you picking up his dagger in the process.
-Enough! Not in my house!-
Boros decided to break it before a disaster could happen.
The way Aemond glared at you would have made the strongest men turn to stone, yet you stood your ground.
You respectfully left the hall in a hurry, not wishing to see the prince for a second more.
Lord Baratheon had two of his knights escort you to Ghost, to make sure the two of you don't spill blood in his courtyard either.
You quickly make your way to Ghost, he's in distress, angry and ready to get home to.
He's also feeling shaken up , he knows Vhagar is here and he feels small. But Ghost is a great dragon that doesn't need to be saved by anyone, he's not one to intimidate easily.
Something isn't right, you think to yourself, The huge shadow of Vhagar isn't there. The storm doesn't make it any better.
You notice the way Ghost is reluctant.
-Dōhaeris Ghost!, ryabas, nūha taōba!-
You line your forhead with his to bring him comfort, gently peting his wet nose and looking into his icing eyes.
-let's go my sweet boy-
You climb on his back and with a fast move your in air.
You fly above storm's end, lighting and thunder surrounding it.
Ghost makes his way through the clouds fastly, advantage beeing that he's one of the fastest dragons at the moment.
He pays attention where to turn and not to crash. You're thankful you got a dragon like him choosing you.
After a few peaceful minutes of having your mind clear a huge shadow covers you and your dragon. You know who it is, that's why you command Ghost to sprint faster. Vhagar might be the largest dragon, but she's old, and not as fast as your dragon.
Ghost makes his way through places only he could fit and dodge.
You look behind to see if he's still there it catching up to you, he's not.
Once you look in front you see Vhagar so close to having you as it's next meal. You quickly move to dodge the Maniac who's chasing you, his laugh taunting you.
-Stop this madness Aemond! Have your limits!-
You yell knowing he will hear you.
In exchange you hear Vhagar groan.
Each time a but more closer to from you are, Vhagar so close to riping you and ghost in half.
Right when you were ready to give up a thought crossed your mind, Vhagar won't fit thought small places, and like the gods were on your side you notice a crampled coverage of stones, big enough for ghost to land and hide.
You directed Ghost that way making sure not to enter Vhagar mouth any time soon.
If course Vhagar followed, luckily enough you managed to make your way there.
Aemond's laugh never ceased, loving to see you scared and helpless at his mercy to do what ever he pleased,and oh how he loves taunting you , he barely waits to have you cornered.
-Jemēla gēlȳni enkā! Riña!-
His vicious laugh acompanies his sentence as he drags the last word out.
You and Ghost landed near a cave big enough for both of you.
You quickly got off the dragons back to get shelter.
Youre so shaken up you don't even notice the way Vhagar isn't in the sky any more.
You run towards the cave, you didn't manage to make it inside as you got pushed to the ground.
You quickly turn around and latch to your sword.
-you didn't actually think I'd let you go did you? -
The second Prince's taunting voice looked over you , you are a trembling mess, the coldnes and the water dripping from the top of your head to your bots, but that look in your eyes oh how he loved that.
You are cornered yet you still have that Strong look, ready to face the world .
You get your quickly, holding your sword in one hand ready to defend yourself.
-havent you've done enough? What do you want from me!-
Your voice speaks with anger.
-Oh I am just getting started-
He chuckled in a dark tone that sent shivers down your spine.
He takes his sword and the two of you skilfully fight. You slash his right arm as he almost stabs you in the side. You noticed he doesn't aim to kill you wich is very suspicious.
You got your sword to his neck once you find the opportunity.
-give up on that blind wish to harm me and my family!-
You demand with power in your voice.
With one swift movement he managed to get you on the ground dagger to you neck as he straddles your waist.
One knee he bend to keep himself up as the other rests on the other side of your waist.
-After all this time I finally got you bastard whore. -
And evil smile rests on his face.
You try to escape his hold on you.
-I wonder if your Lord Stark will want you once I'll tell him all the things I'm gonna do to you this night -
Once you hear that fear strucks you like a thunder, you could accept a lot of things but you were deadly afraid of what he was insinuating.
-Don't you dare lay a hand on me you cunt!-
You angrily treathen even though you know you're in no such position to do so.
He slightly pushes the knife deeper in your troath, enough to draw a drop of blood wich mixes with the water falling on you.
He forcefully grips your jaw and looks you in the eyes.
He doesn't say anything yet but a toxic smile fogs his face, his eye patch no where in sight, hair wet and eye whiden, giving him a Pshycothic look.
-I'm going to have you regret the moment of your useless existence, bastard whore, and I'll make sure you will fit for your nick name, whore, since you're already a bastard.-
You spit in his face.
-I would rather die ten times rather than fuck you once!-
you chuckled noticing he didn't like that.
-It's not like you have a choice, I'll Fuck you ten times then send the proof to your family to show them what I did with their pretty little bastard, then I will marry you and make your life so unsufarable that you would wish to take your own life, but i won't allow it, I'll fill you of children you won't even want and make sure you see everyone you love die in a war started by your own family.-
The look he had when he said those words was enough proof to tell you he meant each word.
-You're cruel, I've don't nothing but be kind to you when the others treated you like you were nothing! -
You shouted out of frustration.
-I was your friend! Your niece and your family and yet you treat me with such hatred you wouldn't even treat your worst enemy!-
You let you emotions out as you struggled to stay on your feet anymore.
You struggled against him as his grip was deadly.
-So follow your sick plan! Rape me, defile and make me wish for death, but I will not grant you satisfaction to hear me plead and yell for help!-
Aemond was left without words, he didn't expect you to let it all out, but that look in your eyes and the string demanor in your voice showed him you were terrified.
-Hurt me worse than I.. Deserve and.. -
Before you could continue you felt like you couldn't stand anymore, nor stay awake.
One thing you forgot is that when you were a child you used to get sick easily, especially in rainy cold weather.
Aemond also seemed to forget, since most of the times as children the two of you spent times in the rain and than you would be bed riden for two weeks, of course, get was a child so he never understood.
You crashed in the cold stones completely losing your conscience.
Seconds later he had you in his arms, he didn't know why, he says he hates you for what you didn't do for him and that you're undeserving of his love and care , but he just can't stop himself .
Everything goes just the way he wants. He tries to brush the words you doilled seconds before your fall but they just wouldn't bulge out of his mind.
He looked at your disheveled form, hair wet and sticking to your face, clothes so cold they almost froze on your body and face so red from tears and cold.
He couldn't deny, you are the most beautiful woman he laid eyes on, but if he has to get his hands dirty to have you, than do shall it be.
/Idk bout this, who wants a second part? /
Leave requests people, I'm open to everything basically
Hope you enjoyed thisss

Crazy Love
Jack Hughes x gn!reader
Summary: You and Jack have been enemies for as long as you have known, why is he acting different now?
Warnings: enemies to lovers; readers friends are specified as girls; cole caufield being the enemy (i’m sorry i love him); and a cliff hanger 😋
Tumblr media

Tossing and turning, you wait for your alarm to go off, knowing it will be anytime soon. Unfortunately, it was halted by a phone call from your best friend, asking you to bring her to school.. again. Today was one of the most important days and you couldn’t have it ruined by one of your friends' lack of planning. To your surprise, your alarm wouldn’t have gone off anytime soon, leaving you an extra half an hour to get ready.
You usually didn’t take showers in the morning, but today was so nerve wracking that you needed to burn off the nerves. By the time you got out of the shower, you checked the time, reading 6:05. Just about a second later a notification appeared at the top of your phone. SKATE DAY !!! You have been waiting for this dance since midsummers ended, the second most important day of your life.
After you finished getting ready, you grabbed your skates and made your way to your best friend's house. You pulled out of your driveway, but were halted as you heard a honk from another car and loud laughing following it. The Hughes brothers; Jack, Luke, and Quinn. You rolled your eyes and continued down the street and out of the neighborhood to your friend's house. You two opted to go to dunkin, wasting some time you would’ve spent sitting in homeroom.
Your schedule this year was honestly so messed up, you had barely any classes with your best friend. As you made your way to your first class, you spotted one of the Hughes brothers walking into the same class. Obviously you knew you had half your schedule with him, but something about him always caught your eye. Technically, you were “enemies” with him because you skated at the same rink.
The rest of the day was almost perfect, until lunch. Somehow, Jack really played into your day today. You were in the line to grab a water and he came up behind you, letting you overhear his conversation with Trevor.
“Man I really hope she shows,” he mumbled, “giving her my jersey for the theme is my top priority ”
fuck. was there a theme? your whole planned outfit was ruined.
As you turned around to grab a water from the cooler, you met eyes with him. He snarkily chided, “Bet you don’t have a jersey for tonight, do ya?”
You were so pissed you just rolled your eyes and walked away. He looked so proud of himself you just wished you could kiss smack that smirk off of his face. You weren’t lying when you said that you have had a secret crush on him since middle school. You were shaken back into reality when you heard Jack's voice.
“The weirdest thing just happened to me,” you started, trying to talk to your friends, but all of them were too busy trying to put together their own outfit, they just completely ignored you.
As the day came to an end, your best friend informed you again that you had to take her to your house to get ready. Honestly you didn’t mind letting her borrow your clothes, but if you were still working on a guy to give you his jersey? You were fucked.
You made sure to pick up all the necessities on the way home: A little liquid courage (shh), some energy drinks, some snacks, and whatever else was needed to calm ur nerves. When you walked through the door you noticed that your mom wasn't home, leaving you to do whatever you wanted.
You were so excited words couldn’t describe what you were feeling. You walked up to your room with your friend, letting her take a shower while you waited on your bed, until you heard your phone buzz.
Cole ;) - Go to ur window
You- Bruh when did u put a wink next to ur own name
Cole ;)- 🤷‍♀️
You- die.
Cole ;)- cmon pleaseee
You- ugh fine.
You pulled up your blinds, unlocked your window, and pulled it up, revealing a certain hockey boy waiting for you outside.
“Come down pleaseee,” he whined, half whispering for absolutely no reason.
You rolled your eyes and shut your window, running downstairs as fast as your legs could carry you. You stood in front of your door, patting down your pants and shirt, not even realizing he was doing the same thing on the other side. You opened your door, awaited by Cole himself, holding his jersey in a “neatly” folded square.
“I didn’t ask for this“ you started, just to get a rise out of him, “—-but yet here you are, with your jersey”
“I knew you would want it,” he cleared his throat, “so I didn't need a text.”
“Whatever Cole,” you chuckled, “you gonna pick me up too?”
“Maybe,” he winked, and turned on his heel, “you never know.”
You closed the door and made your way back up to your room. You couldn’t lie and say that you were happy that Cole gave you his jersey, cause you were… weren't you? Maybe if Jack would’ve given you his. Did you seriously just think of that???? Jack Hughes giving you his jersey? Your sworn enemy? Fuck no.
As your friend came out of the shower, her face screwed into a confused look, staring at your jersey.
“Don’t even ask,” you stated, clearly annoyed with her questionable face.
“I was just gonna ask why you didn’t ask Jack for his,” she retorted, “he’s totally in love with you or whatever.”
You snorted, “Jack? Hughes? The day he talks to me nicely I will call the doctor and check him for a brain tumor.” She rolled her eyes and you felt heat rising to your cheeks, not letting her comments faze you. even though they were true.
“Well okay,” you broke the silence, “all ready?” You pulled the jersey over a sweatshirt and looked back over at her. She agreed to leave, so you made your way to your car. Coincidentally, the Hughes Brothers were too. You saw Jack glance over to you, back down to his phone, and his head shot up faster than you could say Shit. He had never looked more enraged, you swore you could see smoke coming out of his ears.
You saw him call over to one of his brothers and whisper in his ear. As soon as he pulled away, the younger boys head shot up and stared right at you, looking back at Jack with an open mouth as he nodded.
“You coming,” your friend yelled to you from the passenger seat.
“Oh yea,” you mumbled, “coming sorry…”
You made your way to the odr and saw some of the hockey boys gathered around the campfire tying their skates.
“y/n!,” you heard, immediately spotting Cole, “you made it.” You were quite confused knowing as Cole had previously barely talked to you in school, asking you for the homework here and there.
“uh,” you stared at him confused, “yea I did I guess…” His eyes moved past you and looked behind you. Curious, you turned around to see who or what he was looking at.
Jack Hughes. With a girl. And not any girl. Your ex-best friend. But… she wasn’t wearing his jersey, which was odd.
You sharply turned back round and walked through the powdery snow to the campfire to put on your skates. As you laced them up, your best friend walked back from the rental stand, run by Trev.
When you were done, it had become pretty dark since you arrived, so the firelight was the only light allowing vision. You stepped on the rink, careful not to interrupt any “games” that were taking place. Cole spotted you freely skating and spinning along the ice and motioned you to come over.
Calmly he asked, “Hey y/n wanna play a quick game before we head to timmies?” You shrugged and agreed, Cole letting you borrow an extra stick. You saw Jack step on the rink, coming back from whatever he was doing, looking even more angry than the last time you saw him.
The game went on as a usual one would until one of the boys on your team passed to you and you slipped past Jack, who was on the other team, scoring and winning the game for your team.
“Cheater,” you heard Jack mutter, but just as you were gonna chase him to the parking lot, Cole picked you up and began shaking you up and down.
You were so worried for Jack and running after him that you hadn’t even noticed that as you were running away from Cole’s grasp you tore off his jersey, leaving it on the rink.
You quickly untied your skates and slipped on your shoes, following Jack to the parking lot as fast as you could. “Jack,” you yelled after him, “what the hell is up with you.” He most clearly heard you, but chose to ignore you, leaving you to run up to his car and slip in the passenger seat without his knowledge. “Answer me,” you stated, clearly not amused.
“No,” he flatly said, “now get the fuck out of my car y/n. now.” He turned his head from the window and stared at you, sneaking the occasional peak at your lips and back to your eyes.
“You’re acting weird,” you muttered, “and weirder than you usually do towards me.”
He started again, clearly forgetting his last request, “why are you wearing Cole’s jersey?”
“What’s it to you,” you retorted, “he gave it to me and asked me to wear it tonight and saying no would be rude so I just naturally wore it? Why the hell do you care? It’s not like anyone else would’ve asked me anyway.”
“I would’ve y/n!,” he yelled back, '' I've been in love with you ever since I saw your face, you idiot. I thought today in line at lunch after you heard me talking just loud enough for you to hear you would’ve taken a hint. And then I saw Cole taking his jersey to your house. So I took your ex-best friend , who you know,” he trailed off, noticing you were looking at him now.
woah. that’s a lot to take in.
Confused, you asked, “So you don’t hate me and you’re in love with me??”
He looked down at his lap, slightly nervous to hear your response and nodded slowly.
JACK HUGHES WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU????
