Warning ⚠️: cheating themes, a bit toxic, NSFW with Vi, smut, strap-on, nipple play, sfw with Cait, degrading (a little bit), secret relationship, arguing, cheating on Cait, praises, virgins

"I'm in here, (Y/N)," You hear Caitlyn in her office.

You like to check on your girlfriend and decide to hang out with her on her lunch break. You and Caitlyn were an item in Piltover for a while now. Officially, it's been a full year together. You both agreed to keep it a simple relationship. Simple as regular dates, occasionally kisses, but no sex. It wasn't a written rule, you and Caitlyn weren't ready for that just yet so you both are still virgins. You can't deny it's nice and really wholesome, but hearing your friends talk about sex sounds a bit exciting to you. You attempt to gather courage to talk to her about it, but it's never the right time with her.

You step into her office and she is behind her desk. Besides her is a pink haired woman around the age of you and Caitlyn. "oh, meet my partner, Vi. She's from the undercity." Caitlyn raises her hand in front of Vi. "Sup, you must be (Y/N). Caitlyn talks about you," Vi leans back with her hands in her pockets of her leather jacket. You giggle as Caitlyn hides her blushes cheeks. "Caitlyn has mentioned about you too, the brawler from the undercity." You giggle as she looks proud of her title. You place food for you and Caitlyn. You glance at Vi, "I'm sorry I wished I got you something if I knew you were here." You scratched your hair, feeling a bit guilty. Vi chuckles as she leads herself out the door. "Nah, I'ma get something from Jericho's. But you two enjoy lunch, you love birds. See ya later, Caitlyn. Bye, (Y/N)." Vi waves bye to Caitlyn and then winks at you while walking away. "Don't mind her, she's just likes to tease and make everyone flustered." Caitlyn says as she opens her container of food as you two indulge in your foods. Caitlyn tells you about an investigation and her partners approach ideas. You listen as you eat your delicious food.

Later that night, you were walking back to Caitlyn's office after you finished your work day. Yet, the office is almost empty except for the distance arguing. You peek in, staying unnoticed for a bit. Caitlyn and Vi are arguing about a investigation, it seems whatever Caitlyn said must've made Vi really pissed. So you stepped in, "I'm sorry, did I step in at a wrong time...?" You step through the door. Caitlyn shakes her head and sighs. She collects her belongings to head for the night. "nothing, let's go." Caitlyn storms past you towards outside. You turn to Vi who's just upset. She takes a seat in front of the desk as she rubs the bridge of her nose. You quickly peeks your head out to Caitlyn, "I'm gonna meet you back at our apartment. I just wanna talk to Vi." You feel bad, but you wanna know more context. Caitlyn is sorta still seething, but she nods as she walks away. You run back as Vi is still at the desk. When you make a swifty return, Vi glances up at you. "Shouldn't you be going with your gf?" Vi rolls her eyes as she stands up, starting to gather her stuff. You walked up to her, grabbing her arm. Vi turns to you as she softens up.

Eventually, you got to sat down with Vi to talk about what happened. Apparently, Caitlyn was reading over a case about something in the undercity and she said something about the undercity folk that kinda felt like a stab at Vi. Even if, Caitlyn didn't mean it, it's still hurtful. Vi had to leave so much at home so she can work hard, especially for her sister. You listened to her as she calms down and finishes her rants. Your presence did make her feel a lot better, since you were a piltie and you convinced her that you don't think like that and it was unwarranted from Caitlyn. Vi's anger has drifted away, as her softness took over as she stares into your eyes. You didn't mean to be so close, but you two were really close. Your forearms are making contact, your knees are touching and your heads were about to collide. Vi felt safe around you as did you to Vi. Vi's soft pale eyes gaze into yours and then to you lips. Before you two know it, you both are leaning into each other until you two finally make contact with your lips. Something in your gut told you that this was wrong, but you can't help it when Vi's hands are wondering your body, up your thighs and cupping your face. Vi pulls you on her lap as you two intensely make out. You're thinking about Caitlyn, how you feel guilty knowing your are cheating on her.

"V-Vi, we shouldn't do this~" You moaned softly as you gripped her hair. She has you leaning back against Caitlyn's desk as she's teasing your hard wet nipples. "I know, but I can't help it." Vi's tongue flicks around your hard nipple as she grinds her hips in-between your now soaked sex. "You're so fucking cute, how come Caitlyn didn't claim you yet??" Vi breathes as she switches to the next nipple, as she pinches the other. Vi kisses all over your soft chest. "A-Ah~!!" You pants as you rock your hips against Vi's moments. Vi smirks at your reactions as she stops what's she's doing and begins to remove your pants.

"Fuck, oh God, Vi!!"

"Yeah! Ahh, fuck." Vi slaps your ass slowing down her motions. She has you bent over Caitlyn's desk as her false cock is motioning in and out. You are panting and whimpering. You are so wet and you never knew you could be like this, but you never realized how needy you are. "Poor bitch. Needed someone so bad to take care of you and you never gotten that from Caitlyn, huh?" Vi starts picking the pace back up as your moans grew louder again. You were so scared of Caitlyn coming back, but you can't help how good it feels to be railed. "Vi!! Vi!!" You chant out and pants. Vi leans over as she covers her hands over yours. "You're doing so good at your first time, you're doing so good." Vi kisses and leaves hickeys all over your shoulders. "It's okay, moan as loud as you want. I want Caitlyn to hear it." Vi whispered in your ears. Her words just got you going crazy. You begin to shake and moaning very loud at the wonderful pleasure. "Your gonna cum? My little slut is gonna cum?? Come on, you naughty girl, I know you love it, I know you want too." Vi taunted you in the other ear. It's your first orgasm from someone else other than your hands. You're no longer a virgin as you came all over her false cock. You squirm as you are finally relaxing from your high. "V-Vi... T-Thank you," you look up at Vi half dazed. Vi smiles as she removes herself from your creamy caverns. "You're welcome. But you know, we are a secret now. You can't tell Caitlyn, unless she finds out. It's gonna be fun having you around as a little secret. I wanna devour you every night."

From now on, you and Vi became really close, but in front of Caitlyn, you guys just became really good friends. Caitlyn was happy about that, so now you all hang out like the 'perfect' trio. After Caitlyn goes to bed , you would take "late night walks" to the lanes. You would always meet up with Vi as the fun would begin all over again. Vi gives you so many other experiences and cravings in sex. The good thing is, it wasn't just a sex thing. Sometimes, Vi would want to rant and just talk to you, and you were always down to listen and give her cuddles to cheer her up. You two treated each other like a real relationship, yet Caitlyn did not know any of it.

Time for some Pod Posting!!

Please note: I will NOT reply to comments for privac reasons. I would love to chat in an ASK though!!

First up - what the heck are you talking about, Vi??

Pods is short for isopods. They are the more scientifically accurate, more inclusive term for what one might colloqiually call roly-polies or pillbugs. They serve as a cuc, which is short for clean up crew. Being a cuc, they eat the hermies leftover/spilled food and poop. This can help prevent other unwanted sometimes harmful pests from moving in to snack on the same, as well as reducing chances of mold and bacteria. However, they do not eat the mold itself, only prevent it, whereas springtails are a different cuc that would eat mold.

Um, okay, so... they're just bugs I dump in?

Yes and no! Yes they're kind of like little bugs, but no they are not insects. They are crustaceans, just like our crabby friends! Yes, you could dump them directly in the crabitat to take care of business, but no that isn't always best. If you only bought/otherwise received a few isopods and have a fairly large tank, are using a slow breeding species, or both, you may want to let them breed in a separate container for a while first.

Wait, bought? Can't I save money and just grab some from outside?

While some believe it is fine, I don't love it. To get the moral stuff out of the way, I find it hard to justify taking animals out of nature for our benefit just because they're smaller than crabs. Wild caught pods are also more fragile when introduced into captivity, which also holds a pragmatic dimension.

In addition, we don't know what diseases isopods have when we bring them in from the wild. Even proponents of wild-caught pods will usually recommend letting them breed in the controlled environment of captivity for about 3 generations before introduction. So the disease factor is doubly unpragmatic; you either risk introducing disease to your crabs or you wait a bunch.

And not only do you not know what diseases it may have, you probably can't ID the species AND make an informed decision on whether you're okay with that species being with your crabs (IF you are reading this post as the intended audience when I started by explaining what a pod was, at least). All in all, I can't and don't want to try to stop you if you feel you must take pods from the wild, but please don't.

How do I know what species I'm okay with using?

This is a bit controversial in the crabbing community!! I will go off of my judgments based on the advice of the crabbers closest to me (and my newfound obsession in pods starting las week, but I have known pod basics from before then, rest assured). HOWEVER, there are experienced and intelligent crabbers whom I respect that I already know would disagree with some of this. As with all hermit controversies, pick a person to trust or do enough research to form your own opinion. Anything in between will confuse you more than help.

Porcellio: Very cool pods! But also very cool pods with special protein needs, which means a molting crab may not be in a very good position with these guys around, especially if they molt close to the surface or god forbid surface molt. They're also pretty fast breeders relatively speaking, which combined with the above, make this a no from me (aka from my more isopod-experienced friends) sadly.

Armadillidium: safe! I don't think I have ever heard anyone disagree with these particular species! They're not so protein hungry, don't breed as quickly, and are good with slightly drier substrate (for those whose top inch dry out). My one qualm is they burrow a bit more than porcellio, but even then its mostly the baby ones that burrow more before coming up higher when hey get bigger, so not a huge threat.

Porcellionides: safe! I have heard very, very few crabbers take any issue with the safety pf having them in the crabitat, and even then, never an opponent who felt strongly. Moreso a concerned preference. I do specify that no one had much issue with their safety because I have heard plenty a bit irritated at how quickly they sometimes breed. It can annoy the crabs and the crabber a bit to have pods overtake the tank.

Cubaris: my heart, my soul. Slower breeders than even armadillidum, which means they are great for those concerned about pods overtaking the tank. However, there still have been cases of them overpopulating, and they burrow more than armadillium. Consider how important shallow burrowing is for you, keeping in mind that crabs dig up to 2 feet to molt in the wild, but that things like surface molts happen.

Trichorhina: safe, but prolific breeders! They breed asexually, which adds to that. However, tiny! So that may balance it out. Do you mind more pods any less if they are smaller? Do you want lots of little cleaners that can be added to the tank sooner, or control over your pod population>

Overtaking the tank does sound annoying, but I love how safe X species is! What can I do?

Potato trap! Cut a potato in half, then scoop the inside out. It doesn't matter a ton how thoroughly you scoop, you'll be putting it in upside down like a hide for pods to latch onto, so the more surface area the better it will work, but not by a ton of pods. After a night, you can take the whole thing out and they’ll be on the inside munching. At that point you could freeze and re-feed to your crabs, feed live to other pets who take them that way, give away, sell, etc

Fridays Place

Bucky Barnes x Reader

Chapter 14

Note: I don't want to sound needy or anything but some feedback would be awesome. "You're A super talented genius" "Your writing is transcendent" "You write like a 3rd grader" "Dont give up your day job" just be nice when you tell me how bad it sucks.

Warnings: Swearing, angst

When Friday woke up from her nap it was almost dark outside. She rubbed her sore eyes and groaned, hearing Nat puttering around in the kitchen. Friday got up to use the bathroom and splash some cold water on her face.

She slowly wandered out to the kitchen "Nat, you don't have to cook. I'm not really hungry. You can go home, I'll be alright"

Nat scoffed "What kind of girlfriend would I be if I left you all alone after the day you've had? I cleared my schedule for tomorrow and Wanda is on her way over with a basket full of edible treats and dark chocolate. I'm making tacos and you can have a margarita or two. We can watch some stupid movies, or stand up if you want. Eddie Izzard has a new special, I know you like him. We can paint our nails or braid our hair and talk trash about men in general."

Friday shook her head "I'm really not up for socializing, Nat. I'll try to eat a little but I want to go back to bed."

Nat chuckled "You say that like I was asking. Plans are made, food is cooking and Wanda is already on the road. We aren't leaving you alone again moya lyubov. Maybe if you're good I'll help you with some stress relief. After Wanda falls asleep."

Friday blushed "Won't your new beau mind? It's been forever since we-" she leaned into Nat and started to kiss her when Wanda texted Nat that she was around the corner. Friday moaned into the kiss but they both pulled away when Nats phone dinged.

Nat smiled "What Steve doesn't know won't hurt him and we aren't exclusive yet."

Friday smirked "Wanda already does know but you always insist on waiting till she falls asleep. You woke her up last time."

Nat blushed "It's not my fault you have such a wicked tongue. I know she knows, I know, I just don't want her to feel left out."

Friday laughed "Why should she, she has Vis and once told me she thinks we're both hot af but girls just aren't her thing."

Nat smiled "I know, I was there when she said it, you were just too baked to remember. It's just, you and I have known each other longer, have been lovers, are both perpetually single and she was already married and pregnant when they bought their house here. Sometimes I catch her looking at us a little, wistfully, I guess. Now lets go help her bring her stuff in."

They went outside and greeted Wanda with hugs and kisses. When they had everything organized they sat in the living room to eat and watch Eddie Izzards new special. The first time he had them all laughing, they remembered why frozen drinks and stand up comedy are not a good combination so they paused the show, put some music on and chatted while they ate.

They all avoided mentioning Bucky and Brock, trying to keep it light. Friday made Nat spill about her and Steve, Wanda gushed about her boys, Friday told Wanda about the new horses and promised to take Wanda out to meet them in the morning. She remembered Hilde and Becca and a flash of hurt crossed her face but she wiped it away.

The three of them hadn't had any real time together since before Brock and they all needed the time to unwind. They finished Eddie Izzard and another comedy special that prime recommend before Wanda started to doze off. Friday sent her to bed and told her to get comfortable while they cleaned up the mess.

After the kitchen was cleaned up Nat and Friday headed down the hall to her bedroom until Nat pulled her past the door to the spare room. The only light in the room streamed through the blinds from the moon, Friday admired Nat ivory skin and red hair.

Nat found Friday's hands and pulled her closer "I've missed you, moya lyubov. So much but are you sure you're ready for this? I don't want to upset or scare you." Nat reached up and threaded her fingers into Friday's hair, pulling her down to Nats level. "Can I kiss you? Can I taste you, moya lyubov?"

Friday whispered "Yes, please, my sweet Natalia." and leaned down with her mouth partially open, tongue darting down to her lower lip.

Like it always did with them, it started soft, gentle, searching, asking and answering but didn't take long to become hungry, passionate. Until Friday pulled away, eyes filled with tears.

Friday looked at Nat sadly, then down at her own hands. "I'm so sorry, I just, I can't."

Nat shushed her "No apologies, remember. I'm always here. Let's get to bed before Wanda takes up the whole thing" she lead Friday into her bedroom and they cuddled up together, Friday's head on Nats chest and their legs tangled together. Nat rubbed her back until they both fell asleep.

Bucky sat in the dark and drank while love songs filled the air, songs to slit your wrist by. He had sobbed for a long while but was out of tears. Now he was just sitting in the dark, almost finished with his bottle of scotch. He had lost track of the time and didn't much care in his drunken haze. He tried to stay awake because his dreams were full of explosions and hospitals then faded into Friday yelling in pain and crying as Brock defiled her until they ended with the look on her face as he tore into her yesterday but he was too wrung and kept nodding off. He jolted awake, preferring the replayed memories of losing his arm to Friday's tear covered face that he caused. When he woke enough to work out where he was he tried to grab the bottle of scotch to finish it off and when it was empty he threw it at the wall.

Buckys stomach was already sour but that last gulp of scotch pushed it over the edge and he felt the wretch but couldn't get up so sat and emptied his stomach onto himself then passed out.

The slam of the front door startled Bucky out of his fugue and the sunlight on his face hurt. He tried to cover his eyes with his arm but it was covered in his own puke, the smell turning his stomach again making him heave.

Steve looked down at Bucky and shook his head "What did you do to yourself, punk?"

Bucky mumbled incoherently and Steve rolled his eyes then turned to Sam "come on, lets get him to the shower"

Sam pinched his nose "Do I have to touch him? Why don't we just drag him outside in the chair and hose his foul ass down." He turned to look at Bucky "Fuck, Barnes. You're lucky you were sitting and not laying down, you'd have drowned in your own vomit"

Bucky heaved again but there was nothing left to throw up.

Steve patted his face "Alright asshole, lets get you cleaned up. You're lucky I love your dumb ass. I'd leave you to soak in it."

Sam smirked "What if I don't love him? He didn't protect me from bullies when I was a kid. He made his own damn bed."

Steve gave Sam his disappointed dad look and Sam sighed "I kinda hate both of you right now. Come on princess, lets get your dumb ass cleaned up."

Buckys friends pushed him in the chair to the guest bath since it was the closest shower, sat Bucky down on the shower floor and turned the cold water on.

Bucky woke up sputtering at the cold "What the? Who? Steve god dammit, you ruined my suit"

Steve and Sam both laughed and Sam told him "I'm pretty sure your toxic puke did that before we got here. You'll just have to write this one off."

Bucky grabbed his head "toxic puke? What the hell happened last night?"

Steve shook his head "You'll probably wish you didn't know but you blew it with the woman of your dreams and apparently tried to drink your weight in scotch"

Bucky rubbed his face "Woman of my dr-. Oh fuck! I did, didn't I. Jesus I'm an asshole. She's probably better off without me, obviously I can't be the man that she needs"

Sam shook his head and sighed "I never took you for a quitter, man but you're right. I'm sure she could do better. Easier to make excuses and give up than try to be that man for her. I'm sure all your girls have missed you. One woman is just as good as any other, right?"

Bucky shook his head, then groaned when his headache spiked "I used to think that but I know better now. No woman will ever be as good and that's why she deserves better than me."

Steve looked at Bucky pointedly "I'm glad you didn't give up so easy when your jeep hit that ied but I guess you're not as strong as we thought. Lemme grab you another bottle before I go."

Bucky pulled off his suit and cleaned himself up before turning the water off and wrapping a towel around his waist "I know what you're trying to do Steve but this isn't about fear or running away, it's about loving someone enough to let them go"

Steve laughed "You're so full of shit I'm surprised your eyes aren't brown. This is ALL about fear. Its easier to run away and hide your feelings into random pussy than to be a man, apologize and try to make things right.

I'm here to tell you that you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't try.  But I guess that's a you problem. I, on the other hand, need to go check on the woman of my dreams before she thinks I'm as bad as you are."

Steve left the room.

Bucky looked at Sam "His dreams? Who is he talking about?"

Sam laughed "Beats me but considering how quickly he knew about your fuck up yesterday, I'm guessing a red haired ballerina has worked her way under his skin"

Buckys brow furrowed "Fridays friend? She was there when I saw Friday yesterday. That would explain a lot, actually."

They sat silently for a few minutes until Bucky picked his head up "What do I do, Sammy? How do I fix this?"

Sam sighed "I don't know, man. You really know how to fuck things up on an epic level. You spent all that time with her so know her better than I do. What might make her feel better?"

Bucky groaned "I don't know, we never talked about relationship stuff. I'll send some flowers, girls always like that. Maybe some jewelry." He grabbed his phone to the florist he has saved and set up a delivery of a huge bouquet of pink roses and lillies as they were good apology flowers. Then he called his jeweler and had a pair of diamond stud earrings with a matching tennis bracelet sent.

He saw the calls and texts from his mother and from Becca but he just sent a quick text to his mother, asking her to keep Becca another night and ignored the rest.

Sam shook his head "She doesn't seem the jewelry type to me, more the sincere and heartfelt apology kind of girl but good luck."

Bucky grinned "I've been dealing with angry and hurt women a lot more than you have, I think I can handle an apology"

"While I'm glad your self esteem is good, I don't think you should treat the woman of your dreams like you treat all your other girls but..." Sam shrugged

Bucky smirked "Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

When Friday woke up she was sandwiched tightly between Wanda and Nat in a tangle of limbs. Having her friends close was comforting but she really needed to pee. She tried to extricate herself without waking the others but every time she moved a limb clear, it wandered right back where it started.

She cleared her throat "Wanda? Natty? I need to get up and use the bathroom. Y'all need to let me go."

There was mumbling from both women that turned into snoring. Friday sighed, she really hoped it wouldn't come to this but she had no choice and started tickling Wanda along her side, until Wanda slapped her in the face. Friday laughed and shoved Wanda off of the bed before dashing over to the bathroom before Wanda could start complaining.

When Friday came out of the bathroom Wanda was sitting on the side of the bed grumbling. Friday beamed at her and started getting dressed to go feed, patting Wanda on the head as she passed.

Friday made it to the barn before she realized what she was doing and froze for a minute, looking around. The house seemed so far away and she felt exposed and threatened. She closed her eyes and shook her head, she was tired of letting her fear run her life. She opened her eyes and headed into the barn but when she walked in the bad feelings returned and she felt trapped. Friday wanted to go back to the house but it was too far and she felt the panic attack coming on so she ducked into Destrys stall and hid in the corner, crying.

Peter and MJ showed up a little while later and didn't realize Friday was there until they got to Destrys stall. She was curled up in the corner with tears still running down her cheeks. Destry was rubbing his head on hers until he heard them coming and turned towards them as though he was standing guard over Friday.

Peter saw her first and noted her red eyes so spoke to her gently "Hey boss. It's good to see you out here. You ok?"

Friday shook her head "I, I don't know how I got out here but I can't go back. Nat is in the house, can you call her please?"

Peter nodded but saw Nat coming before he could grab his phone. He jerked his head towards Friday and opened the stall door for Nat.

Nat went in, let Destry know it was ok and talked Friday down until she was able to get her up and walking back to the house.

"Come on love. Let's get you some food."

As they walked up to the door Nat saw a florist truck out front and left Friday on the porch for a moment to help them. She came back with the flowers that Bucky sent. They were a bit much but Nat figured he had a lot to make up for.

"Apparently Barnes sent these. Do you want me to throw them away."

Friday scoffed "He's an idiot if he thinks this will make up for yesterday but its not the flowers fault, just bring them in."

Nat cleared her throat "They came with this box" and handed Friday a long and narrow jewelry box.

Friday looked at it skeptically, her eyes going wide when she saw the jewelry inside. She shook her head "Beautiful but not me. He must have called for his I'm sorry special. With all his girls he probably gets a discount." She handed the box to Nat "Can you give this to Steve to return to him?" Nat nodded.

A few hours later, when Steve showed up after stopping by Fridays to see Nat for a minute he handed the box to Bucky and he lost it.

Looking at Steve with the box in his hand he yelled "Goddammit!! What did I tell you? Fucking! Ungrateful!"

And slammed the box down on the counter. "I'm going over there to talk to her, she can't just-"

Steve cut him off "She can and she did. How could you be dumb enough to send her the same shit you send your girls when you miss a date? She's not like them. You better learn that before it's too late. I don't think she is going to be into expensive gifts and she's strong enough to know she doesn't need a man who doesn't get her. Try harder"

Bucky scowled at him "I'm Bucky fucking Barnes I don't have to try. Women come to me and beg to come back."

Steve just laughed "Not this one. You better change up tactics before she's finished with you. If it's not too late already. And calm your ass down if you want to talk to her."

Bucky groaned "I've never done so much for a woman only to be rejected like this. I don't know what to do."

He went to grab a fresh bottle of scotch out and took a swig straight from the bottle.

Steve grabbed it before it got to Buckys mouth. "You won't find your answer in there, jerk. Your ego is what got you into this mess and you'll need to push it down if you want to find a way out."

Bucky looked up at his best friend since childhood "So what do I do?"

Nat and Wanda went home after lunch so Friday sat alone in her house with Alpine purring in her lap, looking at the huge bouquet of flowers and trying to figure it out. They were beautiful but felt hollow. She would have much preferred Bucky to come in person with a real apology but as the day waned that seemed more and more unlikely. It wouldn't have absolved him right away but would have been better than his gross displays of wealth. All the time they spent together and he still knew nothing about her, nothing real. She had started to think maybe there could be something between them but after the way he yelled at her and then sent expensive stuff in an attempt to appease her made Friday wonder if he had been listening to her or if he was just trying to get in her pants after all.

She sighed, ate an edible and forced herself to go outside and sit on the porch. She chatted with some of the riders and their parents as they were leaving.

When Peter and MJ came up to say goodnight ahe asked "Has Becca been here at all?"

Peter looked down "No, that's 2 days. I didn't think Barnes would be able to keep her away from Hilde."

Friday nodded, "Me either but we had a bit of a falling out so I don't know when they will be back. Make sure you take Hilde out for some exercise if Becca doesn't make it tomorrow."

Peter's brow furrowed "Falling out? Sounded much worse than that when I spoke to Nat. Don't worry, we'll take care of Hilde."

"Yeah, it wasn't great. Probably for the best. You kids go home and relax. I'll see you tomorrow." Friday waved them off and went inside to find something to eat. While she ate she played on her phone and thought about contacting Bucky. She decided that he must not really be interested if he sent a gift that he should know wouldn't impress her and didn't even bother trying to speak with her directly.

Friday was a little sad that he hadn't tried harder but it convinced her that he either wasn't very sorry or really interested in her. Like she told Peter, it's probably for the best.

- I am so observant, to the point where my friends think i can read their minds cuz i always know what they're trying to do or what they're thinking(my ability takes part in this, but they don't know that)

- I can either be a complete genius who solves problems in a matter of seconds or a complete idiot who forgot what's my name

Fun fact:

I have never dated someone before, but i always know how to deal with everyone else's problems (i have become a personal therapist).

I might be introverted, but i don't mind going out as long as i already trust my bf. I don't really see the point in going for hours just to go shopping for clothes (you could just spend it to play at arcades or go eat somewhere).

I also have a collection of oversized clothes (my friends and families thought i have a boyfriend, but no).

The only reason why i can dance and know abt make up and those other girly stuff is because of my dancer sister (i would love it if my bf could get along with her)

My family members have a lot of foreign people inside, so i have to learn many languages and master it, including the traditional language (i think it's called polygot? Idk)

Romantic Matchup

Tendou Satori

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐭

Ok so I've mentioned this in one of my Hc

Tendou has a lot of ghosts hang around him

Very childlike ghosts mind you

So whenever you saw him around

You always saw that he was accompanied by a child's spirit

Like ALL the time

This cause a lot of questions to appear in your mind

Did he know about these spirits?

What do they want?

Why is it always a child's spirit with him?

Eventually, curiosity got the best of you so you went to talk to him

You just went up to him explaining how you know it sounds bizarre but you could see ghosts

Then you proceeded to explain that he has quite a few spirits hanging around him

Even pointing out the one that was currently with him

You were expecting him to call you weird or crazy

But he just looked at you with stars in his eyes

He thought it was super cool that you could see ghosts!

You both had a conversation about ghosts and third eyes and all that jazz

You liked that he didn't treat you differently because of your special skill

So you started hanging around him more often

You guys would just do casual hangout things like play video games or read together

And on some occasions, you would even go to his games!

So his feelings for you grew very slowly and very subtly

But they grew nonetheless

And you couldn't deny that you enjoyed the redhead's company

So when he finally realized his feelings and asked you out

You found no reason to say no 😘

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮

He loves your hair

He especially loves playing with it

Him and your sister like to try styles on your hair together

He loves how empathetic you are

He feels like he could tell you any of his issues and you would just listen to him and do your best to understand him

And that's all he could ever really want in a relationship

He loves the fact that you can cook

Because A: if you ever cook him something it makes him feel especially loved

And B: He likes the fact that whenever you two make dinner together you cook the actual food and he makes the desert

Look at you two being a dynamic duo and shit 😛

He loves how observant you are

You two have this in common

It's good because you both can tell when the others upset without having to tell each other

And you both just solve the problem accordingly

Honestly, he really doesn't mind that you're a homebody

He actually kinda enjoys it

I think he actually likes having some downtime

Now don't get me wrong he's still gonna be his goofy self

But just in a calmer manner if you know what I mean

𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐃𝐨 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫

He honestly just loves hanging around you

You guys could be inside doing quiet activity's

Or actually out in the world being more outgoing

You guys could really be doing anything

Hell even your sister can join if she wanted

As long as he's with you he's happy

But a favorite of his is playing video games with you and your sister if she chooses to join

However, these moments get a little competitive

So be prepared for that

𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐜

Tendou and your sister get along very well

Like sometimes they'll just hang out together for funsies

And that just warms your heart to see

He will 100% let you wear his clothes

And since there's such a size difference, his clothes are absolutely HUGE on you

But they're comfy so no complaints 😗

Every time you and Tendou decide to go out for a date it will usually be at an arcade or like a trampoline place

You know...fun places

He definitely agrees that going to places like stores is kinda dumb

But he also gets most of his clothes online soooo 👀

i'm going to assume you don't mean your last post, which is a picture of a rei ayanami plush wearing a hat that provokes tough questions in the observer vis-a-vis the state of rei's relationship with fish

but like, i'm a little confused by the assertion that this post and that post are interchangeable- this is practically the point i was going to respond with

like... yes, we have more food, we have more machines, we have more medicine. and somehow we still-

-well, there's two things being gestured at by "poverty". there's poverty-1, the kind of "poverty" that means being unable to eat, being in terrible living conditions, worrying about famine- and that kind of poverty is on the decline, with living standards rising all over the world. it's pretty great and has nothing to do with hierarchies of power.

but then there's the kind of "poverty" experienced by your average McDonalds employee, poverty-2. objectively speaking, you're fine- you have a roof over your head, a fridge and a phone, you can buy food, you aren't freezing to death in the winter- but if you ever lost your job at McDonalds, all of those things would change very swiftly. if you do not labor you starve.

and it's weird, right? we have more food and more machines and more medicine, vastly more than ever before, and... most people still more or less have to spend most of their waking hours at work to survive. all that additional wealth has barely moved the needle. the condition that people are in when they do do all this work is leagues better than it ever was, but there's sort of not that many ways to get away with doing less of it. world GDP has approximately doubled over the last 20 years, and somehow everyone needs to work just as much if not more to survive as they did in 2002.

popular leftism says "well, duh, that's because the rich are stealing it all, just eat the rich, problem solved". OP's slightly more advanced leftism says- i think correctly- that money is a unit of social control. there isn't actually a qualitative difference between <the ability to buy material goods> and <a position of social power>- when you use money to buy groceries, you're using your units of social power to compel the owners of the grocery store to allow you to leave the store with their food in hand when they would otherwise not let you do that. that's the whole point of money- to incentivize other people to do things for you that they would not otherwise do. when you have a lot of it, you can incentivize a lot of people to do things they would rather not.

there's a sense in which "wealth does not exist without poverty", as in poverty-2, which has to be true. if everyone in the world had an infinite-food-and-housing machine, no one had any unmet needs, and we'd escaped the state of nature... you wouldn't have anyone working at McDonalds, because no one wants to work at McDonalds, and with all their needs met there would be no reason to take that deal. for wealth to be of any use outside subsistence, there need to be people who feel that they do not have enough and are willing to do your bidding in exchange for some of your wealth.

(the communist mindset says "well, we have way more stuff than we used to, our total productive capacity is starting to approximate an infinite-food-and-housing machine, so let's TAKE that productive capacity and use it for that purpose", forgetting or willfully ignoring the fact that doing so would destroy the productive capacity.)

OP's statement seems like a product of... finding it hard to believe that this is an accident. somehow, despite global production skyrocketing to a hundred times what we had a hundred years ago, people don't work a hundred times less than we did a hundred years ago, or even ten times less. they postulate that this is, some way or another, on purpose- that the continuing existence of McDonalds indicates that there is some self-reinforcing mechanism behind the straightforward observation that there is still enough poverty-2 to drive people to work there for peanuts.

(i kind of have the same suspicion! it's really weird!)
