Tetra Reris enters the office belonging to Optimus Prime and closes the door behind her. "Something has come up that we need to speak about that is of great concern. Do you have a moment?"
Optimus looks up as she enters and offers a smile. It falls at the urgency in her tone, and his gaze softens a moment before becoming more serious.
"Of course I do, Tetra. What is it? Is everything alright?"
How did lesley behave towards Wallace after the amputation incident? Ik you drew him angry but what was the aftermath like? How long did it take for them to move past and calm down?
Oh things were tense in the house at the beginning. It was made extra awkward by the fact Elov actually asked Lesley to let Wallace stay with him while he was at the hospital.
It did quickly de-escalate from their first meeting because Wallace got a hold of his medication and plunged into depression after coming back to his senses, so the hostility kind of died down at this moment. Actually, if it wasn't for Elov forbidding him from killing Wallace, Lesley would probably have put him down like a sick dog at this point.
It didn't take a whole lot of time between the two, Lesley pretty much went from hating Wallace to feeling genuine pity for the guy, and eventually they ended up bonding due to both being pretty mellow. I guess it helps that Elov was thrilled by all that happening and not devastated lol
I'm glad that at least two separate people know who this blog is Really about. chawwie 💞💞 wife... 🥰 okay folks pack it up ship meme's closed I've talked about my two absolutest most favoritest characters we can move on now (THIS IS A JOKE please feel free to send me more if anyone wants, I would be super excited to keep doing this with any other characters!!)
clearly I love talking about Charlie ships because this got sort of long so I'll cut it right after the first and most obvious answer ...
OTP - charcifer, always and forever. they were the reason I watched the show thanks to a recommendation from a friend that basically went "hey Poe, you should watch hazbin hotel, Charlie and Lucifer are kinda weird about each other and it might be relevant to your daddaughter interests" and wouldn't you know it, they were right! their similarities — both visually and in their personalities — make me feel fucking feral. I love how utterly devoted Lucifer is to her and how he's got an absolutely shit way of showing it because a history of emotional neglect makes the incest porn that much sweeter. there's size difference. there's musical theatre. there's suicidal ideation. they like to be nuzzle their faces together sitting on Lucifer's bed but also Charlie would rather die than ask him for help. charcifer is like a designer drug formulated specifically to hit my id. they couldn't have made it more relevant to my interests if they'd tried.
NOTP - unfortunately for my mental well-being as a Charlie fan, I absolutely fucking loathe Charlie and Vaggi as a romantic pairing. there's so much about it that I usually do like (angel + demon trope, unfaltering loyalty, guard dog + the one holding their leash, etc etc) but with this pairing all of it feels like chewing on sand. the fact that the fandom expects you to ship it solely because it's canon and shipping Charlie with any other female character(s) gets you hostility and "but where's Vaggi though? wouldn't this be better with Vaggi?" (ask me how I know!) does Not help this at all. (this effect is certainly not limited to this ship because this fandom is just fucking weird about non-canon ships but obviously this is a post about Charlie.)
BROTP - Charlie & Angel is one of my fave platonic relationships in the whole show! I like their messiness and how bad Charlie is at being, like, normal about him and his boundaries, but also how Angel does seem to see her as some kind of guiding force and and a person that he wants to impress.... I can't remember who I first saw point it out but during Finale, at the end of s01e08, the hand that Charlie reaches for when she's on the ground is Angel's. and that just makes me go 🥺
second choice pairing - my second choice depends on what I want from the story/idea, to be honest! if I want a happy, fluffy, "let's get married forever" type ending, I usually go for Charlie/Emily. I like their matching sunshine princess vibe a lot and I think they could be really cute together. plus, the whole angel + demon thing? perfect with them, like seriously. otoh, if I want something more casual/low-key, I really like Charlie/Cherri as a good endgame ship for them both in a long-term FWB situation that gradually ends up becoming a kind of not-romantic-not-platonic-secret-third-thing setup where they're extremely devoted to each other and sometimes Cherri wonders how she ended up being so fond of this ridiculous princess.
favorite poly ship - TOUGH QUESTION. tough question. (noted poly enthusiast Poe struggles to answer the "favorite poly ship" question? shocking.) I think I'm going to have to say Charlie/Alastor/Lucifer for this. in all fairness, I'm not as into that ship as I used to be — s2 really killed a lot of what interest I had in Alastor because I pettily resent him for being everywhere — and of the three ships that "make up" that triangle, charcifer is the only one I enjoy on its own. with those negative thoughts out of the way, I really do like the potential of this ship, lmao. I like Charlie being weird and nosy about who Lucifer is fucking and I like Alastor being weird and nosy about the fact that Charlie and Lucifer are fucking. this is Thee ship for when you want weird power plays and Charlie watching her dad have sex through a crack in the door.
weirdest pairing - hm...none of my Charlie pairings really seem that weird, honestly...? like, charcifer, I guess, but even that doesn't really scream weird to me, it's just problematic/fucked up/whatever you want to call it. and besides that's already on here so I should pick something else. mmm...maybe Charlie/Rosie? I don't personally subscribe to the Rosie = Lilith theory because I think it's silly and bad storytelling and will not treat it as canon until I'm absolutely forced to, so Charlie/Rosie doesn't count as incest to me, which is apparently an opinion that people find strange. no, no, you have to understand, it's mommy issues, not mommy incest. [Baxter Voice] there's a difference.
horniest pairing - Charlie/Velvette/Val/Vox, hands down. like that shit is scorching. toxic noncon in a Vees Win AU preferred but I'm honestly open to alternate interpretations with this one. Charlie/Velvette is literally some of the best yuri any show can offer me. Charlie/Val is...I mean look at it. it's my favorite character plus the guy with a footlong tongue and four arms to throw her around with. Charlie/Vox is not only hot but also interesting from a perspective of how alike they are in aspects of their personality and how their arcs have mirrored each other in certain ways. ok so take all of those, put them together, and this is basically like handing me specifically a five course meal on a platter.
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐤, a posture uncharacteristically inelegant. one hand spun around a miniature wand meant to simply help her focus while the other rested against her forehead. an attempt to contain the irritation threatening to fracture her composure was letting out a heavy sigh to release the tension yet that wasn’t enough to fully simmer her down. holographic fragments of science ⸻ her science ⸻ stuttered in front of her ; the puzzle pieces were all there yet were refusing to fit & match. she had created multiple simulated universes from scratch many times before with little to nothing to go off on but, for one reason or another, this one single phenomenon had kept her stumped.
surely, this couldn’t be that difficult . . . could it?

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐡 ⸻ the question hanging in the air like an insult dressed in concern. lips sealed further shut, amethyst eyes sharpened, & the tension in the air grew heavy enough to almost suffocate. herta stopped spinning her wand, the grip on it tight enough to turn knuckles white, as she remained locked onto the fragmented strings of foreign logic suspended before her. for days after his involvement against his will, she had been studying kirito’s code which continuously failed to translate into a language she could understand. it did not behave, it did not yield, it merely stared at her straight to her face with an imaginary mockery that she took much offense in.
& for a moment, there was silence ⸻ stillness that felt all too dangerous.
❝ the variable checks on the observer ⸻ how quaint. ❞
𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬, brittle irritation evident & known. the purple witch made the move to turn her head slightly to look towards the anomaly that kept her up at night, studying him like he was not meant to be “alive”. the wrinkles in her furrowed brows increased at his appearance as if the walking contradiction purposely was in her quarters to laugh at her & step on her authority. but it was then that her neurological pathways cleared for reason to transpire, causing herta to exhale softly in order to recalibrate herself before frustration took a hold of the wheel. her attention snapped back to the copy of the blueprint hovering in place, fingers resuming the spinning action of her concentration wand.

Months pass and yet you still deny this pregnancy is real, you’d been to multiple ultrasounds and all of them showed nothing but a big empty void, yet you looked 6 months. What you don’t know that slimes couldn’t be seen on them but when an unrelated issues makes you go and have an MRI instead, your nurse friend nearly passes out looking at the results, in which he shows you them, showing a large slime creature which has invaded every inch of your womb, and not only that…
It was growing its own brood inside itself too, you were only gonna be bigger from this point on…
I love so much of this — finally getting the somewhat terrifying confirmation that something is not only growing within you, but now you sort of have to beat the clock. Find a way to get the slime out before it’s done with its brood, or it’ll be a neverending cycle of hosting these slimes forever, never quite empty as they continue to multiply within…
“Since you’re paying me for this, I’m basically an escort now.” — Kenny McCormick
"Basically," Craig agreed, with a comedic air to his voice.
Craig paid him to be his plus-one for his distant cousin's wedding. Months ago, he had put down the need for two seats. Unfortunately, he had not anticipated a breakup, rendering him exposed to personal questions from his extended family. Kenny's presence could provide a shield from that. Better yet, his approachable demeanor could distract people from engaging directly with him for too long.
"Don't worry about it. An escort would at least try to act professional."
