the cane or the apple (barb x reader)

just after owen “died”, curt stops showing up to work, so cynthia hires a new recruit, y/n. 

585 words

cw: gnreader.

”thank you again, ms. houston, for the job. i promise i won’t let you down.” you say as you walk down the hall with your new boss, cynthia houston.

”you better not. there’s a lot at stake here.” cynthia muttered. she turned into an open doorway, gesturing for you to follow her. the room was busy, full of people in lab coats. it smelled of sulfur and smoke. you wrinkled your nose. cynthia waved over a blonde woman, “y/n, this is barb. she’ll be your right hand man when it comes to weapons, and gadgets, and whatnot.” cynthia turned to barb, “i trust that you can teach her on what to use?”

”yeah.” barb said plainly. her mind seemed to be elsewhere.

”well, i’ll leave you two. i’ve got some agents coming back who just accidentally assassinated the wrong dictator, so i’ve got to deal with that. wish me luck.” cynthia sighed and walked off.

”hi, i’m y/n.” you introduced yourself to barb, holding out your hand.

she shook your hand, “barbara. lavernor.  uh, call me barb, though.” her hand shake was rather weak. you noticed some sort of chemical stain on the collar of her coat. barbara’s eyes wandered around the room before realizing what she was looking for. “um, this room is for developing new devices. we’ll be heading across the hall. that’s where the stuff that you can actually use are.”

she led you into the other room, where she began explaining what everything did. halfway through explaining that everything on the far wall was a gun (“even the apple?” “yes, even the apple.”), she zoned out.

sensing that something was wrong, you asked, “barb, are you okay?”

she snapped back to reality. “uh, what? oh, yeah. i’m fine, i guess. i mean, i don’t have a real reason to not be fine, so yeah, i’m fine.”

you raised an eyebrow. “that doesn’t sound like something a person who’s fine would say. come on, i know i’m a replacement, tell me about the agent who was here before me.”

barb glanced around the empty room. “well… his name was curt mega.”

”was? is he dead?”

”what? no! i don’t know why i said was. his name is curt. curt mega.”

”i mean, it’d make sense. why would he need a replacement if he didn’t die?” you said bluntly.

”no, no, no. curt’s grieving. because his partner, owen died.”

”did owen work for the secret service too?”

”no, he’s british. but they worked together a lot.”

”do you miss curt being here?”

”yeah. a lot. i sort of, maybe, had a tiny little crush on him. and his face was- is- so pretty but now i don’t get to see it everyday, but that’s a stupid reason to be upset, so i’m not upset.”

you grinned, “i’ve never seen the guy, but i’m sure his face doesn’t have anything on mine. and now you’ll get to see it everyday.”

barb’s eyes flicked over your body. “well… you do look pretty good in that suit.” she giggled. you enjoyed seeing her laugh. you liked it even better that she was thinking that you’re hot.

you and barb stood smiling at each other, until cynthia ran in.

”y/n. think you’re ready for your first mission? there’s an arms deal with our enemies in our very own united states, and we need you to break it up.”

”you smiled, that’ll be no problem.” you turned to barb, “so, the cane or the apple?”

defining pansexuality over the years

there’s a post about how pan is inherently bad due to inaccurate or problematic definitions/explanations in the media, even though that exists for every identity and doesn’t invalidate them.

these are the other ways pan has been defined/explained over the years in blogs, articles, studies, books, tv, etc. to keep this post from being too long, i’m not including every single definition or every single instance they’re used.

online

“a person who is able to have sex with a male or female.” (1974)

“I’m equal opportunity. I sleep with people of all genders.” (2001)

“open to all kinds of sexual experiences, with all kinds of people. it means you could relate sexually to any human being.” (1974) (2003) (2005) (2018) (2018)

“open to loving anybody.” (1982)

“the beauty of being pansexual is that the door is open for anybody you find love with.” (2019)

“not about genders.” (2000)

“attraction to an array of individuals regardless of sex, gender or gender identity.” (2005) (2008) (2010) (2016) (2019)

“individuals who are pansexual assert that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining whether they will be attracted to others.” (2006) (2008) (2009) (2012) (2012) (2018)

“it is often claimed that pansexuals are ‘gender blind’, though some pansexuals would argue that this is not the case; sex and gender may play a role in attraction, but their sexual orientation doesn’t rule anybody out because of their sex or gender.” (2011)

“fluid in sexual orientation.” (2003)

“pansexuality means that your heart has no set image of who you will be physically or romantically attracted to. acknowledging the fact that gender and sexuality are fluid I currently feel that pansexuality best describes me.” (2018)

“being pansexual to me represents a sense of freedom—validating the fluidity of attraction in that there are no boundaries or limitations.” (2018)

“attracted to people of multiple genders.” (2004)

“sexual and emotional attractions and feelings for people of different genders.” (2004) (2005) (2008) (2009)

tv

“I refuse to limit pleasure.” will & grace 7x18 (2005)

“I like people.” degrassi 13x02 (2013)

“I like to have a good time with whoever.” club de cuervos 1x09 (2015)

“I like the wine, and not the label.” schitt’s creek 1x10 (2015)

“I’m in love with love.” scream queens 1x07 (2015)

“I’m sexually fluid.” daytime divas 1x01 (2017)

fiction books

“I don’t discriminate by gender or lack thereof.” out on good behavior by dahlia adler (2016)

“she’d dated girls before. and guys. and people who weren’t girls or guys. the gender (or lack thereof) of the other person didn’t matter for her.” second kiss by chelsea m. cameron (2016)

“I could be attracted to someone of any gender.” seven ways we lie by riley redgate (2016)

“I’m not exactly picky on matters of gender.” target by l.c. mawson (2017)

“I’m attracted to people without their gender really playing a role.” who’d have thought? by g. benson (2017)

“I’m attracted to all genders.” face it by georgette kaplan (2018)

“I date whoever.” the image of deception by charlotte anne hamilton (2018)

“a few [women], some guys and enbies, too. I’m pan, so gender doesn’t really matter to me so much as the person.” pretend girlfriend by lily craig (2018)

“he had no gender preference when it came to bed partners.” syncopation by anna zabo (2018)

“I like…interesting people. everyone has their charms. the details never mattered much to me.” the library of the unwritten by a.j. hackwith (2019)

“I can see myself potentially feeling attraction to anyone, regardless of gender.” my fake canadian wife by m. hollis (2019)

celebs/notable people

“gender is not a determining factor when it comes to who I am attracted to.” amita kuttner

“I’ve always felt like I had the spiritual, emotional, physical capability of being attracted to any gender.” asia kate dillon

“I have a fluid sexuality. I don’t really discern a difference between attraction for men or women.” caitlin stasey

“it’s about loving everyone and falling in love with people regardless of their sex.” camila recabarren

“I can fall in love with someone regardless of their gender, regardless of how they define themselves.” christine and the queens

“I am attracted to people irrespective of their gender.” courtney act

“I just fall in love with a person I really like.” emily hampshire

“I’m attracted to people of all genders.” greta christina

“I like everybody. I realised gender has nothing to do with it. it’s more about the connection, the energy and the vibe that people bring around me – that’s what really draws me in. it’s always been about connection.” lady leshurr

“I don’t really think about gender or sex when it comes to dating someone.” nick monaco

“involves acknowledging that one is attracted to a wide range of different identities, not necessarily to each and every person in those identities.” robyn ochs

queer organizations (if queer orgs and activists support pansexuality, who cares what randoms with hate blogs think?)

“attraction to all genders” and/or “attraction regardless of gender” are used by bi net usa, bisexual resource center, glaad, glsen, hrc, lgbt foundation, pflag, stonewall, and the trevor project.

if you’ve ever seen posts about pansexuality only ever being defined, explained, or represented in problematic and inaccurate ways that urge others to do research and learn history, please know they’re made with malicious intent.

pansexuality (not freud’s theory) has been defined a lot over the 50+ years of documentation i’ve found, and “all/regardless” comes up most frequently. which makes sense, considering that’s how pansexuality is actually defined.

point is, pansexuality being incorrectly defined should be addressed and corrected, especially if it puts down other identities, but it should never be used to discredit or invalidate the identity/community as a whole.

jealous

anonymous asked: Hey can you write an imagine where delia and lydia’s girlfriend have a lot in common ( like girly and stuff) and they get along quite well and Lydia gets jealous. That might sounds weird sorry haha..

i decided to go with a mostly lydia’s point of view for this one & it’s not really plot based (also idk why but i keep trying to put cuts on asks and the cuts go into the asks? ugh tumblr get ur act 2gether)

912 words

cw: femreader.

you spent a lot of time at the deetz household. an outsider would credit this to the fact that it was where your girlfriend, lydia lived. that outsider would not know that lydia did not particularly like it when the two of you hung out at her house. no, she preferred to go out on dates to the park, or to show you the abandoned house she found in the woods half a mile from her home, or maybe just being at your house. to her, anyplace was better than her own.

and it’s not because lydia’s home life that she despised you being over. by all accounts, her family was odd, yes, but incredibly loving and supportive of each other. so why did lydia not want you over? it’s simple, really. lydia was jealous.

lydia liked to think of herself as a very relaxed and chill person, someone who is unaffected by other people’s opinions, and especially as someone who isn’t clingy and doesn’t get jealous. so she pretended that the house was the problem.

lydia would explain to you why she never wanted her over as being, “i just spend so much time there, and it’s so normal to me there. i want time spent with you to be special.” to which you usually replied with, “but part of having a relationship is making it normal. we’ve been dating for a while now, not every moment needs to be special.” but lydia persisted.

lydia did not like admitting things about herself. she preferred to ignore them, and keep them hidden. which is why she was becoming more distant with her step-mom, delia. lydia and delia didn’t start off having the best relationship, lydia disliked her. but eventually, they became best friends.

and what happens when your best friends with your mom and you get a girlfriend? your mom wants to meet her. delia was the first member of lydia’s family that you met, and was by far your favorite. delia was what you wanted to be like when you were older, and you were certainly on track to be that way. you and delia bonded over your interest in crystals, and healing. you were able to talk about femininity in a way that lydia couldn’t stand. where lydia suppressed, delia embraced.

so, yeah. lydia was jealous of her step-mom because of you. lydia tried to keep you away from her home, because delia worked from home there. the logical part of her brain was telling her that there was no problem with her girlfriend, and her step-mom being friends, but there was this nagging fear inside of her.

she hated herself for thinking this, but her mind kept coming back to this thought; what if you fell in love with delia.

she wasn’t worried about delia herself, she knew that she was responsible enough to ever even think of that, but you… lydia couldn’t help but note how all of your celebrity crushes were older women. she couldn’t help but realize that she was the only girl your age you seemed to be attracted to.

and she couldn’t talk to you about this, because it sounds ridiculous, and like she doesn’t trust you. so she goes shopping with you instead.

candles. they’re something that you love, that you’ve gone shopping for with delia in the past. not explicitly feminine, but enough so that lydia was slightly uncomfortable. but lydia had to start embracing her femininity, at least slightly, she thought, in order to make you more comfortable in confiding to her about your struggles with it.

”what do you think about this one, lyds?” you shoved a fruity smelling candle into lydia’s face.

lydia tried to control her face. “it’s, um, nice?”

you laughed, “i know you hate it, you don’t have to lie.” you scanned over the labels, smelling a few more candles. “what about this one?” you held a minty one.

lydia tentatively sniffed it. “holy shit.” she held her hand to her nose, “i think that just burned some of my nose hairs off. wow is that a strong smell.”

you giggled, “eww!”

lydia picked of a candle with a picture of the ocean on it. she smelled it and her face lit up. “this one is, uh, pretty good.” she held it out for you to smell.

you nodded your head. “pretty good.” she grabbed the candle and looked at the label. “i see, you don’t like the candle that’s mainly mango, but the one that has a little bit of mango in it.”

”what? it has mango in it?” you pointed at the label. “i guess you’re right.”

”i always am.” you smiled.

mango is delia’s favorite fruit. and probably scent because the downstairs floor of the deetz household always smelled like mango. maybe this could work, though. delia’d probably still like it, and it wouldn’t annoy lydia. and you liked it, which was a plus.

lydia ended up buying the ocean candle, and you bought one that smells like yuzu. which is apparently a fruit that’s a hybrid of an orange and something else that the sales man said but lydia didn’t remember.

as the two of you walked out the store, you asked, “why the sudden interest in candles?”

lydia rubbed her neck, “well, um, you talk to delia about them a lot, so i figured you really liked them. and they can smell pretty good.”

”yeah, like that mint one.” you joked.

ap psychology

anonymous asked:  Can I request readers putting all her studying off till the week before AP exams and she starts studying an unhealthy amount, like sometimes forgetting to eat all day because of it and even made herself sick from stress over it but reader refuses to complain because she did it to herself and Lydia's just there helping her review and making sure she takes time to care for herself ect? Bonus if Reader thinks she did bad and Lydia assuring her she did fine and has an 'i told you don't moment? 

anonymous asked: Totally didn't request that bc that's my situation-

for some reason when i tried to queue this w/ the original ask, tumblr wanted to put the cut in the ask and i couldn’t delete it

this is out of date now, but i was uninspired to write for a hella long time sorry. also! i’m going to draw from my experiences w/ ap this year, and the only ap exam i had to take was psych, so that’s also going to be the case for reader :)

also, i feel like my lydia is a bit out of character? idk it’ll probably take a while to get back to the way i used to write her.

1303 words

cw: femreader. food

you cursed under your breath. months ago, months! you told yourself you would start studying for your ap exam. you only had the one exam to study for, so you told yourself that if you just did a little bit everyday, you would be fine.

but here you were, about three days until your ap psychology exam, and you hadn’t studied any of it. you had hardly even watched the videos your teacher had posted as the digital learning content. but to be fair, the stuff he was talking about in them were the last unit or two of psych, and you wouldn’t have to worry about them, because you weren’t going to be tested on them.

you groaned and dragged your feet downstairs, to where you hid your backpack. the friday weeks ago, when your school told everyone that classes would go digital for a few weeks because of the coronavirus, your teacher had come prepared. he gave everyone that showed up to class, which, granted, wasn’t that many but still- a huge packet covering everything that you had studied this year. it was some forty pages long.

okay, it was, like, thirty five because you crossed out the pages about personality and disorders. which was a shame, because those are the units that everyone takes psychology to learn about. no one goes, “oh boy, i can’t wait to learn about how to test if a baby has depth perception!” or “i can’t wait to learn about all the different types of visual illusions!” but whatever.

you flipped to page thirty five, to see how many questions you were in for. just over 250, except that’s counting all the charts as individual questions. yeah, that makes sense. one and a half pages of listing what researchers discovered what is equivalent to answering which cortex of the brain processes visual stimuli.

wait a minute. lydia was also taking psych. studying sucks, but if you could do it with your girlfriend, that’d be so much less painful.

you texted her, “hey lyds, have u finished the psych packet yet?”

”yea i finished it yesterday, why?” she texted back almost immediately.

shit. looks like you’ll have to suffer through this alone. “nvm”

you looked at the time, 1:46. damn, already? it felt like you had only just woken up. you made yourself a coffee, and set up shop on the desk you have never used in your bedroom, with laptop open beside you. you planned on googling everything, rather than going through your notes, mostly because you forgot where you put them, but this would still take ages.

an hour passed, and you felt like you were dying on the inside. if you had to answer one more question about behavioral psych, you were going to scream. behavioral psych is by far the worst part of psychology! watson and skinner be damned! people are people not some computer code! people have feelings! you can’t just ignore them! and the feeling you were feeling right now was not a good one!

you wanted to stop, but you weren’t sure if you stopped now if you’d be able to finish the packet. so you kept on going.

you went another five hours, taking five minute tik tok breaks every hour to keep you sane. you looked at the clock, and realized you hadn’t eaten anything today. you grabbed a box of cheez-its and made your way back upstairs, and went back to work. this time, you ate a cheez-it every time you finished a question, or you filled out a row in a chart.

you didn’t know when you fell asleep, but you woke up in the morning with about half the packet filled out. considering the exam was in one day, and four-ish hours, you thought that was good.

as you made your morning coffee, you checked the messages lydia had sent you. “are you doing okay? normally we talk a lot but…” “wait, are you working on the study guide?” “y/n! please take breaks! remember! you need food!” “and water!”

you sent back, “if i eat my cheez-its, and i drink my coffee while i study, then i don’t have to take breaks.”

you went back to your desk, and plugged your phone in across the room so you wouldn’t be distracted. but also because you forgot to charge it before you passed out, so it was at three percent, because apparently you had kept it open to tik tok all night, and the video just kept looping. oops.

for a while, the studying seemed easier. you felt like you had less to do, and you didn’t need to worry about getting it done in time, because you had more than enough of it. but because you didn’t need to rush, you became more productive.

you finished the second half of the packet by six that evening. you do admit, you got a bit lazy in the last few pages, but it was done!

shit. studying isn’t just writing stuff down, you have to read it over, right? you don’t really study that much.

but you decided to take an hour or two’s break for… breakfast? dinner? maybe even lunch? whatever, leftover pizza, because you had just only now just realized the intense rumbling in your stomach.

you checked your phone for the first time in hours. you were actually kind of proud of yourself. you usually were on your phone every waking hour, which was probably a problem, but you had shown enormous restraint… by spending every waking hour staring at your laptop. it’s all about choosing your battles.

you quickly dismissed some twitter notifications before tapping on a new message from lydia. “babe, i’m getting really worried about you, please call me when you see this.” you furrowed your brows. worried? about you? why?

you called lydia, and she picked up nearly immediately.

”y/n!” she gasped with relief, “don’t do that to me again!”

you felt stupid for wondering what she was talking about, but you kind of needed to know, “what do you mean?”

”you’ve been offline for hours, and i couldn’t get to you! and then when i heard what you were eating, that got me worried. have you eaten today?”

”three slices of pizza right now.” you swallowed a bite.

”is that your first meal today?”

”unless you count coffee, yeah. i’ll do better tomorrow, i promise. speaking of tomorrow, we’ve got the psych exam, and i need to keep studying. i’ll call after the exam, so like three?”

”y/n.”

”yeah?”

”you do realize this exam is online, right? and at home?”

”uh, yeah.” you swallowed.

”and you have both a laptop and a phone?”

”lydia, what are you saying?” cheating. she was definitely talking about cheating.

”i’m saying, that you don’t really need to know the definitions, because our dear old pal google can be there to help you out with those. and you’re smart, so i assume you know the concepts.”

”you think very highly, of me, my dear.” you took another bite of pizza. “so, what you’re saying is, i wasted two days studying?”

”yes, that is exactly what i’m saying.”

”shit. wait, why were you studying?”

”ugh, because i am nowhere near as good as you at being able to understand things.”

”you know, definitions explain the concept too.”

”what are you saying?” asked lydia.

”i think we’ve both wasted a lot of time studying when we didn’t need to.”

”fuck.” lydia breathed.

”yeah, we’re both idiots. do you wanna watch something on netflix? you haven’t finished parks and rec yet, right?”

”no, i just finished an episode before you called me.”

”which one?”

”season four, episode seven.”

”wait, is the next episode smallest park? we need to watch that, like, now.”

Hi everyone.

Last night, in my home of The Bronx, a protest organized by Decolonize This Place took place called FTP IV. This was the fourth organized FTP, the first three taking place earlier in the year to protest the rising cost of public transit, and the first in taking place in The Bronx. Police corralled protesters and did not let them leave fifteen minutes before 8pm curfew, then arrested them en masse.

I strongly urge you to donate to the official FTP IV bail fund Venmo @FTP4BAILFUND or, if you are in NYC, please consider doing jail support or contributing to jail support efforts at the 48th precinct in The Bronx.

The Bronx is the most diverse place in the entirety of the US, the third most dense, and if we were separate from the rest of NYC we would still be the eighth most populous. I cannot overstate how incredibly special this place is and how urgently we need help. 

For more info please seek out Decolonize This Place and their social media. They update on what and where help is needed–currently (Friday 6/5) outside of The Bronx jail support is needed at Queens and Brooklyn Criminal Courts–this can be as simple as supporting people as they are released, driving people home as they are released, and taking their contact information down.
