“Archie?” I asked, shuffling a little more in my seat. His arm was still looped around mine and his head was still on my shoulder—which I reminded myself was not supposed to feel as nice as it did—so when he lifted his head and looked back up at me, I tried to ignore how close his face was to mine and how nice he smelled.

WE STAN ALICE AND HER IDEAS 🗣️

Anywho, Marcus hearing about darling’s ex during a session and how they’re planning to get back together?? 🤔🤔

*frothing at the mouth* YESSSS going to be so normal about this YESSSSSSS thank you for this delicious idea Moodie I owe u my life 😭💕 /hj /p

CW: unethical therapy practices, gaslighting (?), some kind of manipulation at least

Marcus leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees. His brow is furrowed, concern written clearly across his features.

“Are you… sure that this is a good idea?”

“No,” you admit. “But life is short, and I like them a lot, y’know? And they said that what happened last week was a misunderstanding.”

Marcus sighs, lifting his glasses to rub at the bridge of his nose. You continue to try to explain the circumstances, but Marcus holds his hand up to get you to pause.

“Look,” he says, fully removing his glasses and gazing squarely at you. “I’m gonna be real with you. As your therapist, I can’t tell you what to do. But I am going to advise you that getting back together with them is a bad idea.”

You open your mouth to protest, and he stops you again. “You said life is short, and it is. That’s why you need to focus on spending time with somebody who wants to communicate with you. That ‘misunderstanding’ from last week sounds like it’s part of a bigger pattern of them disregarding your feelings.”

Marcus’ heart stings at the way your expression falls. He can see your confidence in your own judgement eroding under his admonishments, but you’re not seeing things clearly. If you could see from Marcus’ view, you’d understand. He only wants what’s best for you, he’s the only one who can even see what’s best for you, and provide it.

Your ex is nothing, less-than-nothing, sucking the life from you little by little. But you value yourself so little too that you’re willing to settle. You deserve better. You need better.

Someday he hopes he can show you that.

In the meantime, he’ll watch from afar and see if you really do get back with that waste of space you call an ex. If he needs to abuse his position as a mandated reporter and falsify some evidence of wrongdoing on your ex’s part, so be it. Of course, cutting the bastard’s break lines would be much faster… but then again, that could serve to strengthen your emotional connection to your ex, especially if they survived…

Marcus hums, considering cancelling his appointments for the rest of the day in order to contemplate how best to deal with the pitiful excuse for competition you call your ex. He quickly decides against cancelling any appointments. Marcus is sharp, after all— it won’t take him too long to find a satisfactory conclusion.

he just keeps getting finer and finer i can't do this

[fredheads]

Tell me about Fred being friends with other parents as a kid...

i think the parents he hung out with as a kid would have been hal, alice and fp the most. so.... 

alice and fred were inseparable when they were little kids! they were fiercely loyal to each other and no matter how dumb alice thought freds problems were and vice versa they’d move mountains to stick up for one another or help each other fix a problem. they absolutely did a blood brother oath and cut their hands. alice was mostly too smart and cynical to be into that stuff but she took her friendship with fred really seriously so she did the pact and meant it. she had long long blonde hair and scuffy hand me down clothes and she was a fighter through and through. fred was skinny and freckly and cute and always in muddy jeans or short gym shorts and a tshirt. idk if alice had a bike but she rode on the back of freds if not.  their favourite thing to do together was them always doing dumb things that didn’t require money like climbing through the woods just picking up sticks and horsing around or playing sandlot baseball or climbing trees or pitching pennies or hiding in their “clubhouse” (probably just some random bush or log out in the woods) and maybe alice even showed him her secret hiding place thats up to you to say. but i can picture them crawling through various sewer pipes regardless. alice was considered one of the boys and she was always good to be the ninth for baseball or any sport. she felt a degree of protectiveness for fred cause she saw him as more sheltered than her.  sometimes if fred had extra money he’d treat alice to a movie downtown or a bottle of pop from the convenience store (which he really didnt have to do because she was a deft shoplifter but it meant a lot when he bought it) and while alice sometimes resented owing him one and slugged him on the arm if he was too nice to her she secretly really liked the days they spent at the movies or in town or doing something special and nice. it was never awkward between them they understood each other really well. 

hal was a good friend to have because he could always be counted to be thoughtful and practical. he could also get you out of trouble with grownups really easily because he had such a squeaky clean record himself. hal actually got things done. much like ben he knew how to build a dam and a clubhouse, he would actually do it methodically using knowledge from books (and school... he actually paid attention) rather than just throwing stuff around and making the most of what you could do (fred). he was already learning stuff about cars from his dad and he could handle tools and knew how to build a go cart properly. he was absolutely invaluable because of this knowledge and while fred would have been his friend anyway, hal always felt cheered by the knowledge that fred and the other kids liked having him around because of the things he was good at and he could genuinely help.  he was also a good friend for playing cards or reading comic books or doing quiet things. and his mom made amazing snacks when you went over to his house after school and he owned and knew how to play every board game under the sun. (tbh this is because he was lonely a lot of the time and had to play by himself or with the teacher at recess... i wont get into that.) but oddly enough hal seemed happier when he and fred got to go away and play outside or over at fred’s for awhile. he loved his mom and he was comfy at home but sometimes when he was free for a bit he looked older and looser and more confident. but fred never told him this. he had his own bike and while it took a lot of exertion to get it going he had the best balance and could pedal harder than anyone else and still keep an eye on the road as not to get taken out by a truck. so if they ever had to carry anything or anyone important they went on hals bike. 

fp as a kid is so interesting to think about. he was unfortunately already a really battered, cynical child and his table manners weren’t the best. with adults he was sulky and immature. with other kids he could be really standoffish and either mean and rude or withdrawn. but whenever he was around fred it was like something magic happened and he became a thousand times more animated. fred could draw out this comfortable side of him that no one else did where he would make jokes and initiate banter and games. he had a mischievous streak that came out. it was like suddenly he was wholeheartedly committed to the role of being freds sidekick and he was always trying to make fred laugh and smile. fred definitely saw him as more than a sidekick though, he considered fp his best friend and equal in the world in a really special way and looked up to him in turn. he would have given him half of his friendship necklace.  once he found out fred wasnt going anywhere, fp got more confident in the personality he had when he was with fred. he could still get aggressive, withdrawn, mean, etc but only with people he didnt know. once they clicked they were best friends and they were always the ones to make friendship pacts/oaths etc. his friendship with fp was the first time fred started thinking in terms of having a designated Best Friend. Alice was always his best friend before but they didnt say it.  fp was rarely bored doing things with fred, even if they were a lot more pointless and wholesome than the kind of play the trailer park kids did. fred had a way of making everything cool and important even if they were just kicking a can or playing a game of cards. they were bad at egging each other on, however, so they did get in trouble a lot... and they also didn’t have a lot of brain in their heads so they were always doing dangerous dumb things and paying for it. falling in the stream, falling off the roof, falling off their bikes, breaking windows, breaking bones, stealing things, setting off fireworks, etc etc... if fp had a bike it was some rusty trailer park thing and he was just as happy riding on the back of freds.

“Night flight to San Francisco; chase the moon across America. God, it’s been years since I was on a plane. When we hit 35,000 feet we’ll have reached the tropopause, the great belt of calm air, as close as I’ll ever get to the ozone. I dreamed we were there. The plane leapt the tropopause, the safe air, and attained the outer rim, the ozone, which was ragged and torn, patches of it threadbare as old cheesecloth, and that was frightening. But I saw something that only I could see because of my astonishing ability to see such things: Souls were rising, from the earth far below, souls of the dead, of people who had perished, from famine, from war, from the plague, and they floated up, like skydivers in reverse, limbs all akimbo, wheeling and spinning. And the souls of these departed joined hands, clasped ankles, and formed a web, a great net of souls, and the souls were three-atom oxygen molecules of the stuff of ozone, and the outer rim absorbed them and was repaired. Nothing’s lost forever. In this world, there’s a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we’ve left behind, and dreaming ahead. At least I think that’s so. “ - angels in america

what was the first song you heard by 6? (lorde) obviously it was Royals. and i acted like i hated it at first because all my mates were like omg it’s so overplayed!!!1! and i wanted to Fit In but then i actually listened to it and i was like bitch u know what. i fuckin love this, and then i listened to the whole album and she has been The Love Of My Life ever since

what is your favourite song by 8? (the national) oh noooooooooo. might be Apartment Story. Or Gospel or Santa Clara or Terrible Love omg

what kind of impact has 1 left on your life? (the libertines) uhhh pretty huge i think it’s fair to say? i could go off and write a 10-page essay on this but im currently far too emotional and i’d die so suffice to say nothing has ever made me want to live and do crazy shit for sake of my own happiness and go and make good things happen for myself as much as this band. all my happiest moments in the past year are linked to them in one way or another. not to even mention the truly incredible people i’ve met thanks to them. im already too emo to make this any longer but i love them so so so much and i owe them everything lmao 

what are your favorite lyrics by 5? (vampire weekend) any lyrics on Modern Vampires of the City tbh but faves include:

“Oh, the motherland don’t love you / The fatherland don’t love you / So why love anything?”

“Condolences to gentle hearts who couldn’t bear to try / I don’t wanna live like this / but I don’t wanna die”

“A man of faith said hidden eyes could see what I was thinking / I just smiled and told him / That was only true of Hannah”

“One look sent knees to the ground / Youngbloods can’t be settling down / Young hearts need the pressure to pound / So hold me close, my baby”

how many times have you seen 4 live? (dream wife) omg i WISH their shows look AMAZING i would die

what is your favorite song by 7? (florence + the machine) Kiss With A Fist, Girl With One Eye, My Boy Builds Coffins, Cosmic Love, my one true drunk anthem that is Shake It Out………….don’t make me do this

is there any song by 3 that makes you sad? (the strokes) i mean………most songs by the strokes have the capacity to make me sad because i miss them Constantly but that line in Ask Me Anything (u know the one…….”We could drag it out / But that’s for other bands to do") literally makes me want to lie down and die instantly so that one I guess

what is your favorite song by 9? (black honey) let’s say Headspin but tbh all of them………when their debut album finally drops im gonna fuckin die

how did you first get into 2? (arctic monkeys) partially the exact same way i got into the other 2 of my Core 3 Faves………i watched a lot of MTV at one point and they were on a lot and i was like hmmmm cool i should look into them sometime…….and then the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony rolled in and they did that truly iconic cover of Come Together and i was like Hello i’d die for u

how did you get into 10? (wolf alice) omg………i actually don’t remember……….i think i just heard Moaning Lisa Smile somewhere, might have been a random youtube mix, and decided it was my shit and i was ready to die for ellie right then and there

i tag @jessinthesky @missoneminute @thaknows @shambl-s @aquarelleskies @suchasinistergame and @getaddictet if you’re up for it but not pressure x

You Sound so Good on Radio (RapMon AU)

Plot: AU You’re a DJ at your university’s student-run radio club and were called in to do a sample show last minute for a tour group of potential students. You caught his attention and he knew that he couldn’t go anywhere else. Especially if it meant he could share the airwaves with you at some point.

Rating: PG-13 (Language, implied cheating)

Characters: University Student!Kim Namjoon/Rap Monster x female Reader, University Student/Radio Club President!Kris (EXO-M), University Student/Fellow DJ!Johnny (NCT-127), and mentions of Seokjin and Yoongi (BTS)

Notes: This is an AU setting – all characters, background content, and storyline are fictional! This was an idea I’ve had kicking around in my head inspired by the writer’s personal experience of working in student-run radio shows at school. (It sat on the back burner until I realized it would be a good fit for music lover and brainy student Kim Namjoon.) Y/S/N stands for “your screen name”, Y/E/N is “your ex’s name”, and Y/DJ/N is “your DJ name.”

Happy Birthday Namjoon!

“Can I ask you to do a last minute show?”

“Uhhh maybe,” you drawled as you pressed your phone to your ear, “when?”

He sucked in a sharp breath and forced a smile as he revealed that he needed you to get over to the student radio booth in 40 minutes. Your eyes widened and you changed direction.

“Damn you Kris,” you hissed as you dug around in your bag, briefly checking that you had the essentials. “You’re lucky my next class was canceled – what’s this all about?”

“Potential students tour,” Kris explained. “Sorry Y/N – they threw this on me last minute too. Admissions wanted to show off the student radio program and they wanted a show playing live when the tour came through. I sort of panicked and didn’t know who to ask.”

“You owe me,” you warned him as you made a beeline for the studio, unlocking the door with your ID card. “Are there any rules Admissions set?”

“No profanity because it’s a daytime show, don’t run over into the next scheduled show’s slot…” Kris trailed off, biting his lip. “Um maybe pick some happy tunes or something? I don’t know – just make it seem cool to join radio, okay?”

“I’ll try. Wonder why they care all of sudden,” you droned as you pulled out your laptop and began pulling songs into a playlist.

“How do you take your coffee?” he asked.

“Make it the largest size available and you’re a godsend,” you said before hanging up. You plugged in the cords from the dashboard and began adding in bumpers that would play in between every 3 songs to promote the studio radio station. Complaints aside, radio was a welcome escape for you whenever you wanted a break from the stress of college. Anyone could apply to have a radio program, as long as they showed up for their time slot, followed the radio airwave rules, and attended the radio meetings that took place every other week.

“You’re listening to a special broadcast of Nocturnal Beats, coming to you live and in stereo from the radio station,” you announced into the microphone. “You just heard music from Halsey, a beautiful cover of Adele’s “Hello” by Alice Olivia, and “Skool Luv” by BTS. Speaking of school love, why not show your support for our talented lacrosse team at this Saturday’s game? Game starts at 7 PM, tickets are $7 at the gate…” You tore a glance at the bulletin board nearby to make sure you were covering all of the announcements posted during your talking break. From the corner of your left eye, you spotted a large group of families coming into the building, led by a student tour guide. Satisfied that you covered everything posted, you wrapped up your talking segment as you teased the next few songs coming up in the hour.

“Over here is the student radio booth – all of the programs broadcast are put on by students for students,” the guide said as she gestured to the booth. “Parents and friends are welcome to download the app or live stream it from your computer or WI-fi enabled devices to listen in as well. We have programs running 7 days a week from 7 AM to midnight, ranging from music, talk shows, and we’ve even had a few radio dramas played during the airwaves.”

You avoided the crowd’s gaze as you slotted in a bumper that announced that they were tuned into the student radio site, before blending it out to the next song – a mellow R&B tune from BIGBANG called “Blue”. You pulled the headphones off and switched the mic to off before checking the volume controls and scrolling through the radio instant chat function to answer messages.

js_giraffe: U cheating on me for daytime?

You resisted the urge to roll your eyes as you typed back to Johnny, AKA your friend who hosted a late night rant/talk show on Wednesdays. Occasionally you put in a guest appearance if he needed someone to banter with on the topics of choice for the shows – most people found your dynamic with him hilarious, especially if he tried to switch accents while you called him out for being a loser.

Y/S/N: ha try Kris needed someone to show off for the tour groups.

js_giraffe: O.o The model DJ…

js_giraffe: I’m not worthy! I’m not worthy!

Y/S/N: STFU

Y/S/N: It’s a one-time deal – get over your damn self!

“Now if you follow me, I’ll show you the mailroom,” the tour guide announced as she gestured to a hallway. Most of the families began to follow her to the next room while one young man lingered behind, tilting his head as he watched you switch between answering Johnny’s IMs and queuing more music for the remaining 15 minutes. He glanced over his shoulder at the group and quickly made up his mind to walk over to the glass separating you from him, tapping lightly on it.

You jerked your head up from looking at your laptop screen and held up a finger as you got up, making your way over to the entrance to the booth.

“Hi, may I help you?” you asked as you stuck your head out.

“Oh um ye-yeah!” the young man said. “How is the radio program here? Do you like it?” he asked with a faint accent.

“It’s a lot of fun,” you said slowly with a smile. “I really like it – this is my second year doing it. I started last spring and I’ve been doing it ever since. You can focus on any topic/style of show you want for the most part.” You frowned when you noticed the tour group was long gone.

“Oh I think you um-”

“I’ll find them – no worries,” he replied. He asked you more questions about the studio equipment, scheduling, requirements, etc. before you realized you were at the final 2 minutes of your program.

“Hang on, I need to close out the hour,” you apologized before running back into the station. You slipped the headphones on and turned the mic on, fading out the last song that was playing. “Looks like it’s last call gang – thanks for tuning into this special edition. I’ll catch you at my usual slot Friday night from 10-11 PM. Until then.” You turned off the mic and carefully unplugged your laptop, turning on instrumentals recorded in the station’s dashboard’s memory to fill the void while you packed up. Once you secured your bag on your shoulder, you headed to the door and frowned when you saw the young man was gone.

“So are you crossing this school off your list Joonie?” Yoongi asked his friend over the phone. “I mean, it’s kind of far and you don’t know a lot of English –“

“Actually I think I’m going to apply,” Namjoon replied with a grin as he leaned against the wall. “Campus is nice, professors seem decent, and I like their student life.”

“Wae?! But you can’t leave meeeeeeee!!!” the other male whined. “You’ll be too far away!”

“I think you can survive without me,” Namjoon chuckled as he ran a hand through his hair. “Besides, we can always call or Skype. Plus I’ll be home for the holidays.”

“But you have to apply first,” Seokjin interrupted, taking the phone from Yoongi. “There’s no guarantee this school will take you. Make sure you have back-ups in case.”

Namjoon snorted as he changed his phone to his other ear. He reassured Seokjin that he’d apply to a few local schools back home, just to be safe before hanging up and heading back to the area where the tour started. It was clear in his mind – he was getting in here no matter what.

“Welcome back,” Johnny greeted you as you took a seat in the auditorium beside him.

“Right back at you,” you replied, dropping your bag on the ground. “How was your summer?”

He shrugged and muttered that he split his time between Chicago and South Korea, thanks to his parents’ divorce. You listened as he described the tension during each stay, as both single parents had expressed their true feelings about one another to Johnny.

“Sorry Johnny,” you said with a sympathetic smile, “hey so, are you doing late night again?”

Johnny nodded and you confirmed that you were in again for another late night slot, as it was your favorite time to broadcast. You weren’t forced to be as strict with the profanity during timeslots closer to midnight and it was a fun way to get hyped for the weekend. Because this would be your third year of radio, you’d get first dibs on timeslots. A few days prior to the start of the new semester, you had gotten an e-mail from Kris asking if you wanted your old timeslot back, which you replied you did.

“All right guys! Can I have your attention please?” Kris called out, trying to regain control of the large group of students chattering away. He waited a few minutes before speaking again.

“Welcome to University Radio Club,” he began, “if you’re here because you’re taking radio as an elective or just because you want to, you’re in the right place. We meet every other week here at 9 PM – attendance is mandatory for those taking this as an elective. If you are brand new to radio, we’ll start taking sign ups for timeslots via e-mail. Please send us your top three choices and we’ll let you know if any are available. Past DJs will get first choice. Any questions so far?”

“The D-bag’s not doing radio anymore, right?” Johnny whispered as he leaned closer to you.

You shrugged, trying to seem indifferent. The “D-bag” in question was your ex, who cheated on you for two sorority chicks during a Greek life party. You swore he purposely chose the timeslot after you so he could saunter in and ruin your good mood with his presence, as his show was after yours for 3 semesters.

“I’ll deal with it like usual,” you muttered as you watched Kris start discussing the history of radio to the students taking this for credit.

“Welcome back to your place for top hits, fresh sounds, and jams to get you in the mood for your weekend – this is Nocturnal Beats!” you said into the mic with a smile. “Hope everyone stayed cool this summer. The bell may have rung but the fun’s never ending – I’ve got some new sounds to share from EXO and Twenty One Pilots so keep it here for this hour.”

Once you switched off the microphone, your phone buzzed with a text from Kris.

Galaxy

I’ll buy you a drink this weekend if you can do a last minute training for the rookie coming in after you.

Fine.

Hang on – rookie? Not Y/E/N?

Nah he never answered my e-mail about radio this semester. This guy’s a first year – asked specifically for this slot.

Sent 10:09 PM

Tall, blonde hair in an undercut, name’s Namjoon Kim. He’s doing a rap show.

Sent 10:10 PM

You frowned as you re-read the texts and typed back a simple OK to Kris. Well, you could breathe easy – no asshole ex to deal with this semester. But you were surprised this kid got a prime spot – most first timers weren’t so lucky and would get an afternoon slot or an early morning time. Albeit his radio show content was probably better suited for nighttime versus editing out every curse word and innuendo possible. You’d meet him soon enough.

You shuttled a few IMs to Johnny and tore your gaze away from your laptop to see a tall Asian guy approaching the station, eerily fitting the description Kris texted you. He was busy typing something on his phone as he approached the radio station, walking into the door with a thud.

You blinked as you scrambled to your feet, eyes wide as he staggered back a few steps, wincing and cursing in Korean as he touched his forehead. Without wasting more time, you queued up a few more songs and a bumper before opening the door and checking on him.

“Hey you okay?”

“Huh? Oh yeah, yeah I’m fine,” he said as he pushed his dark framed glasses up on his nose. He shot you a sheepish smile and put his phone away in his pocket.

You studied him thoughtfully, examining his features. He looked awfully familiar…

“Hey so Y/N right? I don’t know you if you remember me, well I had dark hair last time we met, but um…” he trailed off, a shy smile on his face.

“Hang on, were you the guy who got left behind by the tour group to ask me questions about the radio station?” you recalled as you stepped out of the doorway. “Last semester in mid-March, right?”

He nodded as his smile spread across his face, resulting in the cutest dimples on his cheeks. You blinked as you silently compared the previous image you had of him in your mind to the guy standing before you now. He was cute then but with the blonde color and new haircut, he looked hot. It also sounded like his English had improved and the lingering trace of his accent was barely noticeable. Summer sure was kind to him…

“Wow I didn’t know you got in – congrats!” you replied as you nudged the door open wider, letting him into the station waiting room. “Welcome to university! I can’t believe you decided to take up radio too.”

Namjoon stepped through the doorway and watched as you closed the door to the station. “Well, it’s a funny story,” he began as he shoved his hands into his pockets. “A really chill DJ was doing a special show during my tour visit and she had a really hot voice. I was kind of a loser just staring at her and asking her dumb questions about radio, but she was so patient and really nice. So I felt encouraged to apply – I mean, I liked the classes and the professors too, but hearing this DJ was like the icing on the cake. I wanted to come here and do radio too. Maybe run into her again.”

You ducked your head and smiled, crossing your arms over your chest. “You found me Namjoon,” you replied.

He squared his shoulders and allowed a slightly cocky smile to cross his lips. “Rap Monster. No DJ, just Rap Monster around here.”

You contemplated his moniker and nodded in approval.

“It suits you,” you said. “Well you’ll go live for your first show in 10 minutes – think you’re ready?”

He removed his glasses from his nose and swapped them for a pair of dark wayfarers, pushing them up on his nose.

“Bring it on Y/DJ/N.”

Babysitting Accident

 Word Count: 3097

    A/N: this was requested! It's kinda long ooops, I was having a hard time finding inspiration for this but I got it done and I hope it's good! Also I don't know what to name the nephews soooo oops Much love!

MasterList

    "Good morning, Mrs. Cooper." Y/N said cheerily as the blonde mother opened the door.

    "Oh thank god you're here so quickly." she said, pulling on Y/Ns arm and bringing her into the house. "You know I'm glad you're so reliable, always on time, always willing to help." Alice said as she was dragging Y/N to the kitchen, and when they finally stopped, she turned and looked at the (y/h/c) girl in the eye, brushing some hair out of her face. "That's why you're my favourite friend of Bettys, you're almost like a daughter to me."

    "Oh, thank you Mrs. Cooper-" Y/N started, smiling softly.

    "Oh please, what do I always tell you, call me Alice." she said, and Y/N nodded.

    "Okay, well thank you Alice. Where's Betty at?" She asked, and Alice turned and looked around the kitchen, noticing the blonde wasn't there.

    "Betty! Please bring your nephews down stairs please, we have to go!" Alice yelled, and then turned back to Y/N. "I really appreciate you offering your help watching our nephews while Hal, Polly, Betty and I run out for the day."

    "I-uh, I'm watching your nephews?" she stuttered, and Alice looked at her confused.

    "Was this not why you came over? I thought you knew." she said, slight worry in her voice, something Y/N had never heard before. Betty then entered the kitchen with two small boys, and Y/N sent a questioning look Betty's way, and she returned with a pleading one. Y/N faced Alice again, giving a playful smile.

    "I'm just teasing, of course I knew." Y/N said, giving a breathy laugh as relief washed over Alices face.

    "Oh, okay." Alice said, giving a slight chuckle. "You really had me there, a good actress you are." Alice turned to look at the clock on the oven, and she panicked slightly. "Okay gang, we need to go, now!" she demanded, storming out of the kitchen, leaving just Y/N, Betty and the two boys.

    "Betty, what the hell!?" Y/N said, her fake smile replaced with a frown.

    "I'm sorry! Look my mom was getting on my case about hiring a babysitter for today and I forgot, so when she asked me this morning I panicked and called my most reliable friend, you." Betty said, giving a smile to try to top off her flattery, hoping Y/N wouldn't be too mad.

    "You told me to meet you here so we could go to Pops for breakfast and to work on our articles for the Blue And Gold, not babysitting!" She said, slightly annoyed.

    "If I told you I wanted to watch my nephews all day on a Saturday, would you have come?" Betty asked, and Y/N rolled her eyes, giving her best 'what do you think??' face. "Exactly! My mom would have killed me if I didn't have a babysitter, I'm sorry! Just please do this, for me?" Betty pleaded, and Y/N sighed, looking at the two boys who were staring between the two girls.

    "Fine." Y/N agreed, and Betty smiled, opening her mouth to say something but was cut off by Alice yelling for her and Polly.

    "Come on girls, we have to be there by a certain time, and Coopers are never late. It's bad for the family name, now hurry outside." she yelled.

    "Just go before your mom had a mental breakdown about punctuality." Y/N said, earning a chuckle from Betty.

    "I owe you a milkshake." Betty said, making her way to the front door.

    "You owe me several, this is a Saturday in my teenage life I will never get back." She teased, and she heard as Betty giggled on her way out of the front door, it closing behind her.

    "What's your name?" one of the boys asked, turning Y/Ns attention towards them.

    "I'm Y/N, what are your names?" She asked as sweetly as she could, and the boys smiled slightly.

    "I'm Thomas." the blonde one said, turning towards the brown haired boy. "And this is Theo, he's really shy." Y/N nodded and set her bag on the counter, then she kneeled down so she was face to face with the boys.

   "Are you two brothers?" she asked, and Thomas nodded.

    "Twins too." he replied, and Y/N smiled. "Our momma left us with Aunty Alice while she goes on a trip. Don't tell Aunty Alice, but she's not that fun, she's very strict." Y/N laughed and so did the two boys.

    "I know, I spend a lot of time with your Aunty Alice, but once you spend more time with her she's a lot more fun to be around." Y/N said, and the two boys nodded.

    "Do you spend a lot of time with her because she's Betty's mom?" Theo asked quietly.

    "Well kind of, see I don't have a family, so your Aunty Alice and Uncle Hal became my family, although don't tell Uncle Hal this, I don't like him." Y/N said, and the two boys looked at her sadly and confused.

    "Why don't you have a family?" Thomas asked, and Y/Ns face fell a bit, wracking her brain for a way to explain to these boys her situation.

    "Well, I left them. Everything they were doing and making me do was too much, so I went away." Y/N explained, and the boys nodded, looking sad, and she decided she needed to change the mood. "I know Aunty Alice has a Wii U in the living room, how about you go in there and wait for me to set it up while I go make a call real quick, okay?" she asked and the boys excitedly ran to the room. She picked her phone up off the counter and dialed for Veronica.

    'Y/N, why are you calling me at 9:30 on a Saturday?' Veronica's voice rang through the phone, and she snickered.

    "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you-"

    "There's no need to apologize, I needed to get up anyways, my mom and I are going to brunch with some of her high school friends, and then I'm going out shopping with Ethel." Veronica said excitedly, and Y/N sighed.

    "Damn, okay." she said, drumming her fingers on the table."

    "What's wrong? You sound like I just crushed your dreams." Veronica teased.

    "Nothing, I was just going to ask if you could come help me with babysitting Betty's cousins." Y/N said disappointedly.

    "Why do you need help? I'm sure you've got it, you must be good with kids." She asked confused, and Y/N scoffed.

    "I've only been with them for 3 minutes and I've already made them depressed." Y/n said, and Veronica sighed on the other end.

    "You told them about your family situation, didn't you?" she asked, Y/N rolled her eyes.

    "Of course I did, they asked and-"

    "Just because they asked doesn't mean you need to tell." Veronica said, and Y/N huffed, annoyed by Veronica's logic although it was correct.

    "Well what am I supposed to do now?" She asked, and Veronica thought for a moment, a silence falling between them.

"I'll send Jughead to help." Veronica suggested, and Y/N felt her stomach flutter, and a little bit of panic set in.

    "I don't know about that." Y/N said, her fingers now drumming on the counter out of anxiety.

"You'll be fine, honestly you need to get a better handle on your crush. Now I have to go, I'll text him to go over to Betty's to help you, have fun!" Veronica said, and before Y/N could argue Veronica hung up.

    "Oh god." She sighed, making her way into the living room.

• • •

*ding dong*

    "I'll go get it, you two keep playing." Y/N said, running to the front door and looking through the peep hole. Once she saw Jughead, she felt her heart skip a beat and her breath caught in her throat. She took a deep breath and opened the door, smiling at the raven haired boy.

    "Hey there, I heard you needed some help?" Jughead said, chuckling as he looked behind her to see two boys dancing along with the game on the screen. "Although, It looks like you've got it under control, tiring them out so you can put them down for a nap."

    "No, please come inside, I'm not good at this." Y/N said quickly, grabbing Jugheads wrist and pulling him inside the house.

    "Yeah, I heard you made them sad within the first 5 minutes." Jughead teased, and Thomas turned around quickly, obviously eavesdropping.

    "It was actually like 3 minutes-"

    "She did, she told us about her non-family." he said, and Jughead laughed, turning towards Y/N.

    "You thought your depressing family backstory was a good ice-breaker? Y/N, they're like 8, they don't need to know the harsh truths of life already, let them be kids."

    "I'm 7." Thomas butted in again, and Jughead raised his eyebrows.

    "They're 7, that's awful Y/N." he joked and she rolled her eyes, pushing him towards the boys.

    "I know, that's why you're here, to keep me in check!" she said, and Jughead winked at her.

    "Oh I'll keep you in check alright." he teased, and Y/N pushed him down on the couch, a blush creeping up onto her cheeks.

    "Oh whatever Jughead, just sit there and make sure I don't give these kids depression." she said, and he nodded, watching as Theo slowly walked up to her and handed her his controller.

    "Yay, Y/N is going to dance with me!" Thomas said excitedly, and Y/N shook her head slowly, giving a breathy laugh.

    "Oh, I don't know. I don't dance." she said, and Jughead scoffed.

    "Since when? I see you dance down the halls all the time." Jughead said, and Y/N glared at him.

    "Kids close your eyes for a second." she said, and Theo quickly placed his hands over his eyes, and Thomas reluctantly did the same. Once both kids covered their eyes, Y/N flipped Jughead off, causing him to laugh. "Alright boys, open your eyes, and Thomas, I'll play one song with you, okay?"

    "Okay!" He said excitedly, picking 'Disturbia' by Rihanna to which both Y/N and Jughead laughed at his choice. Y/N danced her butt off with the seven year old, both Theo and Jughead cheering for them. After about three more songs, Y/N was getting winded.

    "One more song and then I'm done, okay?" she said, and Thomas nodded, picking 'That's What Makes You Beautiful' by One Direction. As the song started, Y/N was killing it, dancing quite well. But during one of the jumps, she landed weird, falling to the ground with a yelp and a thump.

    "Oh fuck!" she yelled and the two boys gasped at her language. "I mean fudge, I said fudge!" Jughead laughed but then worry set in as he saw her reach for her ankle, her face twisted into pain.

    "Oh, hey don't move your ankle if it hurts!" Jughead said quickly, jumping off the couch and kneeling next to Y/N. "hold this." he said, grabbing her hand as he reached down to her ankle with his other one.

    "Ouch, my god that hurts!" she seethed, anger coursing through her at her stupidity and embarrassment.

    "If you chill out maybe it won't hurt as bad." Jughead teased, but Y/N didn't find amusement in his comment. "Okay, rest your bitch face, I'm only trying to help." he said, and the two boys gasped.

    "He said a bad word!" Theo exclaimed, and Jughead rolled his eyes, picking Y/N up bridal style and putting her on the couch.

    "Good news is that it doesn't feel broken, so I guess we'll just have to wait out the day until Betty and her parents get back." he says, and Y/Ns face contorted into worry and pain.

    "How the hell am I supposed to babysit with a hurt ankle?" she says, and Jughead just shrugs.

    "You won't, I'll just have to do it." he says nonchalantly, but Y/N shakes her head.

    "You can't-"

    "Shhhhh-" Jughead said, pushing his index finger against her lips. "No more words. I can take care of a few boys, I mean they're already pretty tired out, I'll just put them down for a nap." Thomas groaned and Theo yawned, earning a small laugh from Y/N, although she still wasn't sure.

    "But Juggie-"

    "No buts, I'm going to go get you some pain killers, boys do me a favor and dance for Y/N, entertain her." Jughead said, backing up and walking towards the kitchen.

    "I'm sorry you got hurt." Theo said softly, and Y/N smiled at him, stretching her arm out to him.

    "It's okay, it was bound to happen with the way I was dancing." she jokingly said, and Thomas and Theo giggled, doing weird dances.

    "You mean like this?" Thomas asked, and Y/N giggled and nodded.

    "Exactly like that, be careful now I don't want you to be next." she said, and Jughead walked in, handing her a glass of water and some pills, to which she took happily.

    "Thank you, Juggie." she said, and he nodded.

    "You're very welcome. Thomas, Theo, you two go get an ice pack for her ankle and then we'll go take a nap." Jughead said, pointing towards the door, and Theo ran into the kitchen, followed reluctantly by Thomas.

    "You're good at this whole taking care of kids thing." Y/N said, and Jughead rolled his eyes, giving a sweet smile.

    "It's only because I'm one of the guys." he joked, and Y/N chuckled.

    "You aren't giving yourself enough credit." she said, and he nodded slowly, kneeling beside her.

    "Maybe not. How're you feeling?"

    "Still in pain, you know those pain killers don't kick in right away, it takes some time." she jokingly said, and he again nodded.

    "I'm aware. I just wanted to make sure you were okay, comfortable. You know I care for you Y/N, I think it's safe to say-" Theo and Thomas came running into the room, cutting Jughead off and handing him the ice pack.

    "Why do you need this?" Thomas asked, and Jughead took it from him and placed it on Y/Ns ankle gently.

    "We are going to ice her ankle so the swelling goes down." he said, standing up and turning to the two kids. "Alright, we're going to leave her to rest." Jughead ushered the two kids out of the room, looking back and giving a wink towards the girl as he left. She settled down into the couch more, letting a blush take over her face as she fell asleep.

• • •

    "Y/N, it's time to wake up." Theo said quietly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

    "Is your Auntie home?" Y/N asked groggily, and as if on cue, Alice came out from behind a corner, smiling down at the half asleep (Y/H/C) girl.

    "How's your ankle feeling?" Alice asked sweetly, and Y/N sat up, shrugging slightly and stretching.

    "Still hurts but not as bad." She replied, and Alice sighed.

    "I'm so sorry sweetie, Jughead texted us to let us know he was at the house to help you after the accident. He said that you didn't want the kids to be taken care of by someone who was too hurt to do the job, that was very responsible of you, so thank you." she said, and Y/N looked up at her, confusion written across her face.

    "You're- uh, you're welcome." she stuttered, trying to get up off the couch.

    "Uh, no. Stay where you are, I don't want you getting up until you're ready to go home." Kevin said, scaring Y/N slightly. Behind Kevin emerged Archie, Betty, Veronica, Cheryl, and Jughead, and Y/N smiled at them.

    "Oh my poor Y/N! I was worried sick! I thought you were hurt more than a sprained ankle because some imbecile made it seem like your injuries were life or death!" Cheryl exclaimed, walking over and running her hand through Y/Ns hair.

    "Don't worry too much, it's just my ankle." she replied nonchalantly, and Cheryl smiled down at her.

    "We were all very worried. Especially Jughead, even though he was here the whole time." Betty said, and Y/N sent a smirk Jugheads way.

    "Oh really, because if I remember correctly he was teasing me because of how I hurt myself." she teased, and she shrugged.

    "I think those pain killers have you imagining things." he said, earning a chuckle from everyone in the room.

    "Jughead told me that he likes you very much, and that he hates to see you hurt." Theo said quietly, and Y/N smiled at the comment, her heart skipping a beat.

   "Yeah, he says your his most favourite-est person in the world and he like likes you." Thomas said excitedly, and everyone smiled happily between her and Jughead, catching onto the kids drift.

    "Oh, that's the sweetest thing I've heard in awhile." Alice said, and everyone nodded in agreement.

    "Well Jughead is one of my best friends." Y/N said, and Jugheads face fell slightly, the pain of that friendzone hitting him hard.

    "Is Jughead not anything more to you than a best friend?" Alice asked, and Y/Ns face blushed red, looking towards Jughead.

    "I-uh... I don't think he likes me like that.." Y/N said, and Kevin rolled his eyes.

    "How much drugs did you give this girl?" Kevin exclaimed. "Girl, he just told you how he felt through the kids. What part of 'you're his most favourite-est person in the world' and 'He says he like-likes you' did you not understand? The boy is in love with you damn it!" Kevin concluded, and Y/Ns eyes widened.

    "Oh my god. Really?" she asked excitedly and Jughead nodded, making his way to the couch.

    "Really." He said, and Y/N giggled, grabbing his hand and pulling him down to her level, smashing her lips with his. When they pulled apart, he smirked down at her and she beamed.

    "That means I love you too, by the way." she said all giggly, and he nodded his head.

    "Good." he leaned down and kissed her again, both of them happy at how their relationship started.

WHAT IF BTS ARE SIRENS AND THEIR SINGING THIS TO KILL US ??? I’m convinced.

Omg Siren BTS singing Pied Piper please drag me into the ocean and C H O K E me. I’m READY TO GO.

Heartbeat

So soft and sadish.

Sadish? Sad...ish?

Taehyung’s deep voice is MUCH APPRECIATED.

“My heart’s on fire for your love,” with J-Hope harmonizing with Jungkook and Jimin.

We stan a vocal boi that raps AND dances.

So What

Jungkook and Jimin are GOOFs.

Namjoon’s whole verse just HITS.

SUMMERTIME SONG.

THE WHOLE STADIUM WAS BOPPIN.

The base SLAPS me right in the face.

And I say, “Thank you may I have another?”

“SO WHAT?!”

The Truth Untold

OMG I SOBBED WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG.

S O B B E D.

It’s such a tragic song!!!

WAAHHHH

Okay I’m fine.

“But I still want you.” DON’T TOUCH ME I’M SOFT.

The powerful instrumental is BEAUTIFUL.

Steve Aoki, the KING.

134340

Yoongi’s whole verse is just YES.

“Ah, ah, ah. Hello.” “How have you been?” “I’ve been well, heh.” OMSVAIFHNWKSKFB

Yoongi’ voice is so smooth holy moly I’m not okay.

That weird vocal beginning but YES.

Daydream

J-Hope KING!!!

The music video is one awesome acid trip.

HE POKES A FISH.

Just the beginning is YES.

“My character’s like half and half, who knows?”

“Yeah, I know, I know, I know.”

So many classic literature references!

We all think Namjoon’s the only one who reads when J-Hope is an intelligent bookworm too!

“Like the hole that Alice fell in, like the road to Hogwarts.”

“So what I get drunk, till I go crazy. So what I go out, don’t think about work.”

BOOM! J-Hope in a red suit holding a microphone. YESSSS

The bass lowkey BOP.

“Wake up.”

Chicken Noodle Soup

BOP x 50,000

wHat is his hAiR ???

BECKY G

Korean, English, AND Spanish?! OMG my lineage!

Literally my dad is Korean, my mom is Mexican, and they had me and my sister in America so....

“Chicken noodle soup. Chicken noodle soup. Chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side.”

They brought a playground classic TO LIFE.

J-Hope singing about dancing is 100% good boi.

“Becky G on the side” cuz he knows that his first hoe is ARMY.

“Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do?” I’m gonna listen to this on loop is what I’m gonna do.

Honestly an under-appreciated masterpiece.

The DANCE.

“Let me see you-“

Roma, Vice, Black Panther Win Big at 24th Critics' Choice Awards

The energetic host Taye Diggs kicked off the evening at the 24th Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, CA, with a song and dance number that honored inclusivity in this year's acclaimed films: “Crazy Rich Asians,” “BlacKkKlansman,” “If Beale Street Could Talk,” “Roma,” “Green Street” and “Black Panther,” all to the tune of Cardi B's "I Like It"—a perfect crowd-pleaser.

A rare occurrence also happened Sunday evening in two of the women’s categories: Best Actress in Film, and Best Actress in a Movie Made for Television or a Limited Series—both garnered ties. Glenn Close, for “The Wife” and Lady Gaga, for "A Star is Born." Earlier in the evening, it was Amy Adams, for “Sharp Objects,” and Patricia Arquette, for “Escape at Dannemora.” They shared Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television trophies.

The Best Actress Oscar race is now the most capricious, as Lady Gaga is back in the running after being shut out of the Golden Globes. Close’s riveting performance in “The Wife” showcased her career talents as one of the great actors of our time. For Lady Gaga, a relative newcomer to acting, she stunned all in her soul-baring, passionate and natural performance.

Glenn Close’s warm acceptance speech was directed to all women as she embraced the notion of celebrating together with another female, instead of continually being pitted against each other. Close thanked her daughter Annie Starke, for helping her create her part in “The Wife.” A tearful and gracious Lady Gaga praised her director Bradley Cooper for his cinematic guidance. After leaving the backstage press room upon the conclusion of the show, while following the exiting crowd, I found myself directly behind the “A Star is Born” dinner table and witnessed a supportive Sam Elliot and a misty-eyed Gaga sharing a tender moment.

In the Best Picture race, “Roma” director Alfonso Cuarón’s personal black and white foreign language film won both Best Foreign Language Film and Best Film. "Roma" received four awards in total, the most of the night, including Best Director and Best Cinematography. “Black Panther” and “Vice” followed close behind, each winning in three categories.

Christian Bale, as Dick Cheney in “Vice,” won the Best Actor and the Best Actor in a Comedy awards for his conspirator performance. “Bohemian Rhapsody'"s Rami Malek and “Green Book”s Viggo Mortensen are also main runners for the Best Actor Oscar.

In the Best Supporting roles, Regina King, “If Beale Street Could Talk” won over co-frontrunner “Vice's” Amy Adams, who has been Oscar-nominated five times, but has yet to win. King paid homage to author James Baldwin, writer of the 1974 novel the movie is based on by saying, “Thank you for being the voice for the voiceless—for educating a country even when they didn’t want to learn a lesson. For still educating us posthumously.” Concluding, “I’ll leave you with this: in the words of James Baldwin, ‘we can make America what America must become.’” 

Mahershala Ali’s Dr. Don Shirley’s performance in “Green Book” won critics over frontrunner Richard E. Grant’s performance in “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” Ali sidestepped the recent "Green Book" controversies by speaking directly to the film's composer and pianist, Kris Bowers, saying, "This gentleman I owe so much. This is my other co-star, he doubles for me, and he did the composition for the film. He was my piano teacher and my friend."

Upon the announcement of Best Comedy, “Crazy Rich Asians” the excitement was apparent as the cast leaped to their feet and rushed to the stage while high-fiving and cheering. Best Sci-fi or Horror Movie winner John Krasinski for “A Quiet Place” gave a tribute to his wife, Emily Blunt and their kids by saying, "I got to make a movie about a love story and a love letter to my kids. I got to do it with the love of my life by my side, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't get much better than that. Thank you so much."

This year’s #SeeHer Award recipient, Claire Foy, was presented by former #SeeHer Award recipient Viola Davis. The award recognizes a woman who embodies the values set forth by the #SeeHer movement—to push boundaries on changing stereotypes and recognize the importance of authentic portrayals of women across the entertainment landscape. The mission of #SeeHer is to accurately portray all women and girls in media so that by 2020, the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote, they see themselves reflected as they truly are.

In conclusion, the evening is a celebration honoring talent and a chance for critics to meet talent face to face. Each year has a different tone, as last year’s #MeToo movement had just kicked off. ‘Inclusion’ now appears to be front and center.
