FanFiction titles: Roll your eyes//Shake my head + anyone you like ;)

Title: roll your eyes//shake my head Rating: T Relationships: Betty Burke/Devon Daniels; Roxy/Blaze; Ben Burke & Zoey Reeves. Characters: Betty Burke; Devon Daniels; Roxy; Blaze; Mayor Daniels; Ben Burke; Zoey Reeves. Additional Tags: Surrogacy; Twin Birth; Old Fashioned Courtship; Devon is a Fucking Gentleman; Desperation; First Time Living Alone; Nobody Knows What They're Doing; Does This Count As Slapstick in Some Places?; Holding Hands. Summary:

Devon gently, gently, gently placed his hand over the top of Betty's swollen belly, the mass that made her middle look like as egg as she sat perfect still on the coffee shop couch, trying not to look at the Red Ranger. The muscle in her jaw had been ticking before the hand settled over where one of the little ones inside had been kicking away like mad all day long, the smooth skin of Devon's thump trailing a half moon above her belly button. Then the tensing diminished, then vanished. Betty glanced up, still looking unsure, but now without the guard she'd had up since she'd spotted Devon and Devon had started walking towards her, hand waving to say hi for the first time since the year before when Betty had left Grid Battleforce to try and strike out on her own. That smile of his was still genuine and surreal (and still made her heart skip a beat).

Additional Scenes:

  • Betty really needed money to afford her own apartment and to, like, live; but kept losing every single job she could get outside of nepotism because of her clumsiness, so she finally sucked it up and took a job as a surrogate for pregnancy for couples that couldn't carry on their own.
  • She did not intend to end up carrying for Blaze and Roxy, it just...happened like that. She came up in a random selection, and by the time they met face to face for the first time, she'd already been implanted with the embryos.
  • Fun fact about IVF: it increases the chances of twinning. And since Betty was a twin herself, nobody was surprised when two heartbeats showed up on the ultrasound--except for Blaze. Who promptly passed out first thing.
  • Devon has never found Betty more attractive--which sort of sent him into an anxiety spiral and made him ask literally all of his friends if this meant he had a newly unlocked kink, "Is that bad? Am I a bad person."
  • Spoiler alert: Everyone said it was fine, except Ben, who promised to murder Devon and make it so nobody would ever find his body if he made a move before the delivery. Just to be safe~
  • Devon believed him.

clingy subs? great. but clingy doms? them wanting you to always be at arm reach, them grabbing your face to kiss you every 5mins, them randomly pulling you to sit on their lap so they can bury their face in your neck and just doms wanting your attention 24/7 is just fucking amazing.

Nsft prompts: Strap on + either Sentry Adam or Sentry Skull; literally any way shape or form...you already know why.

I just can't help myself.

Whipping It To The Finish Line/Another Palace Pet

Adam was well aware that he was mired in deep shit even before slipping up the back staircase, keeping to the shadows and mindful of his footfalls on the risers. His delay couldn’t have been helped, though he wasn’t sure which he found most frightening, being called into the throne room before the volatile Lord Drakkon and his spooky abomination, Red, or keeping the woman in the bedroom waiting impatiently for him.

No excuse would suffice for his aroused lover, who was no doubt watching the clock and flexing her riding crop as she did so. The Black Sentry had been chastised many times already for his tardiness or the other ways in which he displeased the high maintenance Scorpina.

The exotic woman with her silky, jet-black hair, sensuous ruby lips, and smooth, unmarred skin was not from the Coinless World, merely trapped here after events that the tyrant had set in motion in the Prime Universe. She was cruel and contemptuous, ignoring Adam in public as if he were no more important than dog shit on the pavement.

“One must keep up appearances to the underlings,” she’d purred once, the tip of her crop tipping his chin up to smile into his lustful eyes.

Random rant.

I was telling my mom about yet another random middle aged guy who insisted on me paying attention to him (you know the type who gets super angry if you don’t respond to them saying hi or whatever, either because you didn’t hear them or didn’t know they were talking to you, instead of just letting it go like a normal person) and I was like “I’m sorry but it’s always guys your age”

I expected her to defend her fellow man but instead she responded “Oh my god yes. They’re the WORST”

Talk about Karen’s all you like but no group of people are more entitled than middle aged men. I hope it’s just those generations because I never experience it with guys my age and younger. But we’ll see in a few years. I’m close to middle aged myself and perhaps people just lose their fucking mind at a certain age.

Best part of being a cleaner is that if I don’t respond to those types of guys at work they just assume I don’t understand what they’re saying. I can hear them get all worked up at which point I start to ignore them out of spite and eventually I’ll hear someone say “She’s probably an immigrant” and they cool off. Yeah buddy, that’s the only explanation. It couldn’t possibly be because I don’t want to talk to you because you’re acting like an entitled dick.

At this point I’ve made it my mission in life to piss those guys off. I always pick up after my dogs but more than once some middle aged guy started ordering me to pick up as I was getting the bags out. I love the look on their face when I call them shit-sheriff and curse them out for thinking they can boss random adults around like that. And they never have a comeback because they never expected anyone to challenge them. I had a shouting match with one older guy who tried to push me over while I was riding my bike slowly past him because he felt I was trying to run him over for some reason but it ended real fast when I told him to fuck back to his retirement home because they forget they don’t get my respect for free. Same if you call them ugly. They have no idea how to respond to that because they never had to worry about their looks before.

So to anyone reading this, just be cool if people don’t respond to you and don’t act like you can order random strangers around. Niceness will get you anywhere with strangers (unless they’re assholes themselves)

We lost the fucking plot when we started doing "pro vs anti" ship discourse i am SO serious when i say that its literally not that deep and treating it like it is will give you brain rot beyond your comprehension

"Youre in fandom? Are you pro or anti ship ://" i have a full time job and pay taxes in tangible real life bestie

Do you think i give any hint of a shit that some teenager is writing "problematic fiction" on ao3 when inflation is a real thing and passengers tell me to kill myself 7 times a day because i took their shampoo away after they were told no less than 20 times that anything over 100ml cant fly. Do you think i care that tumblr users are doxing each other over fictional character opinions when rent prices are tag teaming me with utilities and car prices and the existential enui of being a trans guy in alberta. Do you think i care. Do you think any of this actually matters. Get real problems i am SERIOUS

We lost something as a culture when computers stopped screaming in agony as you connected them to the internet.

You would not have survived the dark ages. A webring would spell great peril. There was no search. And the dark things lurked out in the open in those days.

The computer screamed because it knew.

if it didn't torture a landline phone for the duration of the process, was it really internet?

My dad hit me with the info that there was an option to turn it off... the sound... the whole time. But he didn't want to tell me. Or to stop me from the, presumably character building, ritual of struggling to smother it to death with a pillow at 12:30am so I could be on the Forbidden Web and not wake my parents.

So I watched the SPD episode "Zapped" this morning and something dawned on me.

"Zapped" is your classic "Ranger gets brainwashed" episode. What's unique is how they snap Syd out of it: Bridge tricks her into morphing. The implication is that SPD has found a way to mind-control-proof their Ranger tech. This dovetails really well with the season's biggest twist: that the A-Squad aren't under mind control, but freely chose to side with the bad guys.

And then you factor in Cosmic Fury. Obviously the SPD writers didn't know this, but it fits really well with Ollie's storyline: his Dino Fury "Ranger energy" is turned against him, and the only way to get him back to normal is to get rid of that power set. Since Cosmic Fury takes place in 2023 and SPD in 2025, it's likely that Kat Manx and the other SPD scientists learned what happened to him and made brainwash-proofing a top priority.

Nothing has to make a lick of sense!

Go fucking nuts, write all kinds of bullshit! Have fun! It doesn't matter!

If it's awful (which it isn't, I swear), you can delete it if you find something good edit it! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or whatever, I don't know, I'm so tired.

has anyone else ever had a fanfic that just... haunts them? like it's been months and maybe even years since you read it, but it just lingers with you and you can never truly leave behind the imprint it made on you? and maybe it's just a single line, one sentence that you can't shake off, that takes up residence in your mind and stays there, feeding into your psyche and subtly influencing your brainspace and maybe even your writing or other works?
