PROMPTS FOR A LITTLE JEALOUSY *  assorted dialogue for when you see the person you're interested in with someone else and go... hey wait a minute, adjust as necessary

are you two... together?

i should probably ask if you're single first.

who was that you were talking to?

did you two have a nice chat?

are we really doing this now?

what was that all about?

i don't like it when they touch you.

they need to learn to keep their hands off you.

are you trying to make me jealous?

you just gave me the impression we were exclusive.

who was that, anyway?

was that someone you know?

it's completely innocent.

were you flirting with them?

that was a little bit excessive.

they were flirting with you.

i'm not jealous.

i'm upset with you.

they didn't mean anything by that.

i just thought we had something going on.

they know i have feelings for you.

i hate it when you get jealous.

i'm two seconds away from throwing a punch.

they did that on purpose.

wait a minute... are you jealous?

you have no reason to worry.

i'm not interested in them, i promise.

they do get a little touchy-feely, i'll admit.

they don't mean anything by it.

did they just try to kiss you?

we're just really good friends!

you know i only have eyes for you.

please ignore them, okay?

it's not like i'm in love with you or anything.

they're just trying to upset you.

i just don't like it when someone else flirts with you.

i don't blame them, of course, but you're mine.

next time someone tries to hit on you, call me over.

i'll give them a piece of my mind.

they know you're taken, right?

i didn't want to get in your way.

clearly your mind is elsewhere.

if you'd rather be with them, then just tell me.

i need to know where we stand.

can we be more exclusive?

i just don't like it when they talk to you like that.

you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

if they make you happy... i can't stop it.

maybe i have a crush on you. so what?

there was a better way to go about this, you know.

you could have been a little bit nicer.

did you have to be so nasty about it?

i'm going to scream.

i don't want anything coming in between us.

you trust me, don't you?

if you trust me, you have nothing to worry about.

this jealousy of yours is getting a little bit out of control.

i love only you.

why do they have to hold your hand like that?

they couldn't keep their hands off you.

i hate watching you deal with that.

i should give them a piece of my mind.

what? me? jealous? never.

i think i'm allowed a little jealousy every now and then.

you're mine, and i want everyone to know that.

did you just... get jealous over me?

you said you weren't the jealous type.

shocking i posted a reply in the fiiiiirst time in foreeverrrrrrr

hello and happy new year lovelies!! i am actively working on replies until my laptop dies which is soon. it's nearly half 11 and i need to sleeps anyways ;-; but just know i'm working on things lowkey. trying to force myself to do the things i love and haven't in a while in between doing uni work. since most of my day at work was spent doing uni work because it was dead, i gave myself the night off. and if it's like that tomorrow i'll do the same then.

it's funny, i spent last weekend moving my whole bedroom around and now everything feels nice and i feel inspired to write again. which is great! i just feel really self conscious and rusty about my writing since i haven't written creatively in a long time and starting to get used to writing academically, trying to find the right balance is hard! so yeah i'm feeling v self conscious about my writing but i'm trying to work through it :) i have an inbox full of memes but there's always room for more so feel free to send them (/tagged/memes if u need them) and i will get there eventually. my plan was to do them over christmas but life, amiriteeee

anyway!!! i am coming backkkkkkk. thank you all so much for putting up with me :) and i will try and either do some things on either fri night or sat night (with a bit of luck i won't fall asleep early for a change lmao!!). trying to make time for myself along with uni and work is hard. but i'm gonna do it!!! hope you're all keeping well! lots of love xxx

@cursivebloodlines

Once again, wishing you a Merry Christmas!! 🎄 Just wanted to wish you a wonderful holiday, and wanted to thank you for all that you do! You are such a sweet, sweet soul. You are such a hoot to talk to, and write with! I know every time we jump in, we're going to come up with some wild shenanigans that will be out of this world. Our brain cell is in sync in a way that should be scary considering the distance we got between us 🤣 Thank you so much for letting me hang around with you, you are the best!!

As always, you know that I'm here rooting for you and all your endeavors! Wishing you all the best this holiday season 💙💙

Before Tessa barely sat down, there were several questions on the tip of her tongue. She loved learning about other people, loved hearing their stories, about the people they love. You could learn a lot about people by the way they spoke about their family, the way their faces lit up when talking about someone they loved. It was sweet and heartwarming and she relished every moment of it. So, of course, she was not about to pass up another opportunity to do exactly that. Besides, what were her other choices? Go back in there, be ridiculed and treated like crap by the person who was supposed to love her? Tessa had enough of that for one night, so as strange as this felt, it was something different. And different was a nice different, a kind that she’d been craving for some time now. As pathetic as it sounded.

The air was crisp as she stepped out, the subtle hum of the crickets breaking through the muffled noise from inside. With the freshness of the cooler air outside, along came that wash of relief. Tessa let out a small breath, her shoulders easing slightly as the tension that had been knotted in her shoulders and right down to her chest began to unravel. For once, it felt like she wasn’t under a spotlight, expected to perform or be something for everyone else. Out here, it was just her and Brock, and the strange calmness that came with it. And it was strange. But she reminded herself not to get too used to it; this was an anomaly, not the norm. But she would take what she could get. She, at the very least, deserved that, didn’t she? After the shit she’d been putting up with.

Plopping herself in the chair next to him, Tessa peered down into her glass, swirling around the liquid with gentle, rotation of her hand before facing up at him. Her gaze drifted to the box of cigarettes in his hand as Brock handed them to her. A laugh passed from her lips, scrunching up her nose. “I’m good, thanks. Tried it once because my ‘friends’ thought it was so cool and of course, I wanted to be cool, too, so I tried it. Big mistake.” A result of her succumbing to peer pressure back then, it was a horrible memory but now it amused her. “I’ll spare you all the gory details,” she teased, a genuine, even cheeky grin starting to form at her lips. “But lucky for you, because that means more for you. Gotta be a plus, right?” It felt like she was talking – or more so, rambling – about anything and nothing and what was she saying again? It was like her brain had yet to catch up with her, but she funnily enough didn’t mind. It was nice to be able to relax a little and be herself. The first time in goodness knows how long where she didn’t feel like she had to pretend. Sure, she had to err on the edge of caution, since she still didn’t trust the man, by all means. After all, he’s Trev’s buddy, she had to silently remind herself. Yet he didn’t seem like the others. Maybe before, yeah. But now? It felt a little different. She didn’t have to sit there and pretend and play the role of Trev’s doormat.

Bright, blue eyes focused intently on Brock, her ears eager and her attention, full and undivided. Seeing the way he smiled as he spoke his sister – his twin’s name – she found it endearing to say the least. Her eyes widened, her own smile growing in return. “Brock and Brooke. That’s such a cute combo,” she laughed, bringing the rim of her glass to her lips, taking a small sip. “So, like, are you guys identical twins or non-identical? Who’s technically older?” So many questions at the tip of her tongue, maybe she was overly eager. But she would willingly talk about the weather if she had to, if it kept her away from more emotional damage temporarily. “What is she like?” Realising the small burst of animated questions tumbling from her lips, her face dimmed slightly, the urge to apologise at her lips. “Sorry, so many questions at once.” She chuckled to try and ease the sudden realisation, her smile restored. “Feel free to tell me to mind my own business or shut the fuck up whenever you please.”

Brock wasn't aware of the intimate details of Trevor and Tessa's relationship; it really wasn't any of his business. He wasn't sure what had changed today. If it was that he was just sick of Trev's shit, or he could tell that his last words were about to make the blonde girl cry, either way, he wasn't able to just ignore it any longer, which is how he'd ended up in the kitchen with her, asking if she was in fact alright, when he knew damn well she wasn't.

He noticed the hint of a smile on her lips, though at her words it faded and he nodded, unable to help the slight chuckle that left him. "It usually doesn't, must've caught me in a good mood." he teased back, giving her the slightest judge with his shoulder in an attempt to pull that hint of a smile back onto her lips. The truth was, Brock wasn't always the most decent person. He could be just as big of an asshole as his friends out in the living room; more so if given the right set of circumstances. He wasn't perfect by any means, and certainly wouldn't qualify himself as a good guy, but for some reason he was developing some sort of soft spot for the blonde in front of him.

His brows rose slightly when she quickly backtracked on her question and he realized that she'd probably realized how hypocritical it was. Hadn't she just agreed too that Trev was in fact a dick? Yet, she was the one sharing a bed with him every night...er rather, the nights he came home anyway. He was pretty sure she'd only had the one glass of wine, but he wasn't here to embarrass her or call her out on anything, and so he let it be, allowing a slight nod.

The brunette watched as she moved about, grabbing the glass she'd just taken the time to wash only moments ago and filling it to the brim yet again, though he wasn't about to judge, instead he simply took another sip of his beer. It wasn't lost on him, the clear light in her eyes, the excitement that sounded in her tone, and he couldn't help the small smile that quirked the corner of his lips as he nodded in assurance. "Yeah, really." He simply nodded and gave a slight "Mhhm" at her thanks before closing the door quietly behind him.

Brock took a seat in one of the run down lawn chairs and gestured for her to sit beside him, before he reached into his pocket for his pack of cigarettes and pulled one and the lighter out. He couldn't recall ever seeing Tessa smoke, but that didn't mean she didn't, and so in the spirit of the decency train he seemed to be riding he held the box toward her in offer as he set his beer in the cupholder and placed his cigarette between his lips.

Once it was lit he took a deep inhale, and tilted his head back, letting the smoke out in rings before turning slightly to look back at Tessa with a small smile. "My sister's name is Brooke. She's my twin."

just wanted to let you guys know i got my marks back, 96% :) over the moon! i am hiding in drafts/inbox as usual but just wanted to keep you all updated xx

hello you lovely lot <3

first of all is the usual apologies. i submitted my second assignment a few days ago for uni. i should get my marks back by christmas eve, apparently! which is good because we weren't expecting until like next year. anyway. the last few weeks of doing nutrition have been absolute hell and literally for most of this week i'd been up to stupid o'clock trying to finish the damn thing.

anyway, i'm now a week behind on studies which is fun. but there's a 2 week break for christmas coming up, so i plan on catching up then. i had a few nights of just lying in bed watching tv and now i'm back at my desk trying to work on things.

i can only profusely apologise for disappearing for what feels like forever again. i am just always grateful that you're all still willing to write with me and for that i can't thank you guys enough. that being said, i would completely understand if people don't because of how slow i am, that's okay :) and i've ghosted everyone for months probably because i just have 0 energy. but that could be the b12 deficiency i need retesting that haven't had chance to yet

phew. that a mouthful!!! anyway. i'm here, i'm lurking. probs won't get a lot done but i will try :) i'm at my desk where i like the clippyclappy keyboard. just gotta get some inspo so might look on pinterest or reread threads/our ship tags/etc. i just feel like i've been gone so long that my writing is so bad (not that it ever was brilliant to begin with omg) but i haven't written creatively in ages and dlgjslgasdg

i still have memes from like over a year ago. so i might give some of those a whirl to get those juices flowinggggg~ even though the inbox is full, you're more than welcome to send more. i hoard them until you forget you've sent them and when the inspo hits, i love to surprise yous hehehe.

anyway! much love! love you all so much. i hope in 2025 i will be more consistent. anyway, i've been saying that for years and it hasn't happened. but i just wanted you to know that this is me trying <3 at least i'm trying!

hope you're all doing well! much love to you all xxxx

[cursivebloodlines]

hii guys just a post to say hello! i'm alive! (barely!)

i'm better and went back to work on monday. it has been absolute chaos. i'm exhausted, absolutely shattered. on top of that, i've started uni and i'm struggling to balance my time atm because i am sooo drained from work.

which of course, in turn has left me abandoning you guys :( and leaving messages unanswered yet again! so for that i can only apologise. i will try and get back to you and owed replies when i can try and juggle my time and my health accordingly! i might treat myself to tumblr and rp as a reward for doing uni stuff wahahaha!

hope you're all doing well! so so sorry for being flaky yet again and thank u so much for putting up with me! love you all always <3 this weekend is a busy one, but i'm gonna try and at least reply to my dms at some stage because i'm just so sorry omg. love and miss you all!

(tho lbr i love all of them. i am v attached to reid and hotch but rossi is a close third rn. in case anyone cares LOL)

[cursivebloodlines]

hi guys! right so long story, i got out on saturday because i decided to discharge myself against medical advice (sue me). i couldn't stand to be in there another night, i didn't have it in me mentally. so the doc said i only had a minor wheeze on both sides, and he wanted me to stay an extra night so they could try and get rid of the wheeze completely with the nebulisers. but yeah i was like no, you guys have been telling me i'm going home "tomorrow" every day. and my anxiety was really bad. this time of year is the worst for me anyway coming up to the passing of my nan as you guys probably know (or don't!) so being there just brought all sorts of things back. that being said, i've been self managing at home with prescribed meds & inhaler and i haven't deteriorated yet, so that's good! tho i'm def still not right by all means aha

so thanks for all the lovely messages! sorry as always for not replying to everyone as of yet. the meds i'm on have been making me a bit woozy and not very well but i am getting there. to top it all off, i turned up for my doctor's appointment a whole 24 hours early :) been telling everyone my appt is today when it's actually tomorrow, ffs.

hope you're all doing good and hope to be back here soon! but also uni is about to start at the end of the week so who knows :D just great that i get ill when i'm about to start a whole ass degree LOL but that's just my luck!

hii guys hope everyone’s okie! I’ve been in hospital since Thursday and they keep telling me I’ll come out tomorrow and then tomorrow comes and they say tomorrow again. genuinely hoping for a miracle to let me out today because I’m going insane. I can’t sleep here, everything to do with hospitals is too triggering at this time of year. I miss my doggos. Sorry I just wanted to vent 😭
