OOP girl also…preachers daughter having a purity ring…at first Patrick doesn’t really think about it and then…realizes and asks her, she’s like “oh yah…my parents gave me it when I turned 12 ☺️” and now he can’t stop seeing it, the glint of it while they’re out in the sun, the cold silver on his cheek when they kiss and she grabs him, when they hold hands, when she’s playing w his hands, she washes her hands and thinks she lost it and panics, Patrick helps her find it, smirking as he hands it over to her. One time while they do it (not sure if the first time) he takes it off with his mouth 😵‍💫. she starts wearing it on a necklace after their first time, “because I lose it so much” she tells her parents, in reality she feels guilty acting like she’s still “pure”, he’s still a sweet pure girl to pat, no matter how many times they “do it”, because the way they do it its practically worship ☺️- pd!anon

the way i see this after answering the first purity ring ask... u guys are on the same wavelength

like patrick definitely sees the ring as something like a competition and its like a constant reminder of your purity. and you're just naturally sweet and nice which is its own form being pure of course, but he kinda takes it as a win when you start wearing the ring as a necklace because he knows the sexual purity that the ring assured for the people around you is long gone by now. he always tells you that technically with him intimacy and sex is essentially worship so how wrong or impure can it really be? once your parents notice the ring being around your neck, they are definitely like oh wow what a creative way to never lose her ring :) but you know what it means whenever you wake up in the morning and pull the necklace out from under your shirt in the mirror.

Idk Tashi x preachers daughter and she wants Tashi so bad and it confuses and scares her because she’s been told her whole life it was wrong…

OHHH THIS, THIS IS THE ONEEEE

preachers daughter who is just so insanely conflicted is something so personal to MEEE. you've been taught you're whole life that you'd end up with a man, have kids, go to church on sundays, white picket fence and a dog...the whole thing. but you meet tashi and you're just like awestruck and at first you're like, "oh i just have a little friend crush on her" but it changes because once you guys become friends and really get close, that crush feeling never necessarily goes away, it just keeps growing and growing. you cling onto her when you hug for a little bit longer. you borrow her shirts whenever you spend the night with her and always seem to 'forget' to return them. don't get me started on the whole spending the night thing because tashi doesn't want you to sleep on the floor and "you're girls so it's normal to sleep in bed together!". and you feel like you're gonna die because you're facing the wall but tashi is facing your back and shes just so close that you can feel soft breaths on the nape of your neck as she sleeps. tashi likes to toy with the dainty little cross pendant on the necklace you wear everyday and you feel like you're about to explode because she's so close to you. you always come home from seeing her and feel the need to pray because you know what these feelings mean and you're just scared shitless.
