jollibee, madrid and all that romance fiasco ! oscar p. x ofc (filipino!gen z!ofc)
summary: carlos sainz and his wife, magda, were heading back to spain after taking her and her cousins to the final race before the summer break. they hoped to have a decent break but their wishes were long gone as soon as the mclaren drivers told them about their plans to spend their week in madrid - where the couple conveniently lived.
OR oscar piastri had the fattest crush on magda's cousin, paloma 'lomi' san pedro, and needless to say, he wasn't even making it less obvious as he purchased a ticket to madrid just so he could spend his time with her. was he only looking for that summer romance or did he just fall in love with carlos' in-law?
content warning: use of explicit language, oscar and ofc shitting on each other, tagalog dialogues and translation ahead (i'm not as good as i used to be at speaking it, sorry lads), carlos sainz x ofc, mentions of alcohol use, fictional brother character (niño san pedro), carlos has a close relationship with his in-laws, A LOT OF JOLLIBEE, lando norris and oscar piastri being cultured (filipino), filo humour, lowkey protective!carlos
note: melody is in progress and i gotta let this out because i've been looking at too much unhinged filipino memes today. enjoy xx

A male reader gets into a bar fight after someone insults bullfrog, the aftermath has the frog taking care of his bruises while worrying about his careless attitude towards his own life.
((Sorry, my first time ever requesting so a bit nervous. 😅))
Thank you for the request !
I gotta say , I really love this concept for a Bullfrog story : it’s just so neat and creative , so honestly thank you for sending this :D
Hope it turned out okay !
Details : use of male reader ;
established relationships ;
presence of violence , mild swearing and blood
That night was supposed to be … well , like any other night , with you accompanying your boyfriend to one of his missions and waiting for him in a nearby bar .
Before he left , Bullfrog didn’t miss the opportunity to give you a goodbye kiss ( you had to get on your knees to allow him to do that , which never failed to make him adorably flustered ) , and as he gave you one last tender caress on your cheek he also left you with a reminder :
< Please stay safe , mon choux !
I should be back soon , if you need me don’t be afraid to call me , and make sure to - >
< Hey , don’t worry , I’m gonna be careful … besides , you know I can handle myself just fine if something doesn’t go right . >
< Je sais , je sais … still , I’ll be here as fast as I can : I did promise you we’d spend some time together when we get home , and let’s just say I’m really looking forward to it , my love ~ >
You couldn’t help but smile while watching him rush off and quickly disappear in the darkness .
He was such a sweetheart , no one would’ve been able to guess how lethal he was on the job and how quickly he could end the lives of the targets unfortunate enough to meet him …
As you sat on one of the bar’s chairs , lost in thought with a drink in your hand , time went by surprisingly quickly , and when you begun to glance at the door to see if Bullfrog had arrived you felt a presence next to you …
< Well hello there , good to see such a pretty face here at this hour … >
You turned around to find a … quite sketchy looking man staring at you :
since the place was pretty crowded you hadn’t paid much attention to him , but now it seemed like he had made the decision to engage in conversation … something that was a bit unsettling , given that he was a complete stranger trying to randomly flirt with you .
< Uh … >
You took a sip of what was left of your drink , making sure to avoid hehe contact to reinforce the fact that you weren’t interested .
… but he didn’t seem to take the hint , and was it just your impression or did he move closer … ?
Well , if he even dared to try anything you were more than ready to make good use of your fighting skills .
After some more uncomfortable silence , the man spoke again , this time a clear disgust in his tone …
< Y’know , I’ve seen you talking to that … thing before you came in .
Honestly I can’t help but wonder how you can feel something positive for a hybrid :
I mean - they’re all such pathetic , worthless creatures , am I right ? >
The more he talked , the more you felt your blood boil …
< I’ll have you know that that “thing” you’re referring to is my boyfriend . >
, you coldly replied , giving him a warning glare .
< …
Pfft - wait you’re serious ? Holy shit ! >
He laughed loudly in response , causing some of the people around to give you both their attention .
The last thing you would’ve wanted was an audience … but you knew that you couldn’t let that massive douchebag get away with saying those things . There was no way you would let it slide .
< You - you mean to tell me that you’d rather be with a fucking frog than an actual person ?
C’mon , don’t be ridiculous … that little monster doesn’t deserve a guy as cute as you , you can do so much better th - >
It all happened in a few seconds …
You suddenly stood up , and before you could even stop to think about what you were doing punched the man on the face hard enough to knock him down on the floor , the terrified and excited screams of the small crowd ringing in your head .
< Don’t you DARE say that shit about him ever fucking again , YOU HEAR ME !? >
He slowly stood up , wiping a few drips of blood that had fallen from his nose after the impact , and the way he furiously looked at you made it clear that he was mad … very mad .
< Gh … you … I’M GONNA KILL YOU !!! >
Everyone who was left quickly fled from the bar , leaving you and him furiously fighting without giving the other a chance to breathe .
While you were definitely better trained , the man was unfortunately a lot bigger than you , and every successful hit he landed on you was starting to hurt … but you couldn’t give up , not after what you heard him say .
Eventually , a well-directed punch in the stomach caused you to fall on your knees , the pain making your vision become blurry .
< Heh - that’s what you get you bitch !! >
His eyes were clouded with a terrifying euphoria as he grabbed you by the hair …
< Oh I’m gonna enjoy this … >
You shut your eyes , trying to prepare yourself to receive your worst beating in years … but that’s when you felt his grip loosening , letting you fall down on the floor .
< y/n ! >
That voice … could it really be … ?
< B … Bullfrog … ? >
You slowly opened your eyes again to find him on top of the man’s body , whose throat had been cut open by the assassin’s blades .
< I’m … *cough* …
I’m sorry … I know , this is a mess , but - agh — >
< Careful - don’t stand up too fast …
Here , let’s just … let’s just go . >
Without another word , your boyfriend helped you up , and the two of you walked away as quickly as you could , the distant sound of sirens getting more and more far with each step .
Some time later …
< Now … can you tell me what happened back there , s'il te plaît ? >
There it was … the question you knew would come sooner or later .
You looked down , feeling Bullfrog’s eyes on you while he patched you up .
< I … that guy , he said such awful stuff about you while being a creep and trying to hit on me …
Called you a monster …
I just - I couldn’t let him get away with it so I … punched him . >
You felt his hand gently lifting up your chin as he stared at you .
< y/n … I appreciate you wanting to defend me , but you know I don’t want you to get hurt because of me . We’ve talked about this . >
< So what , I was supposed to just stand by and let that asshole call you names ?
How is that fair ? >
< Non , it’s not fair , but almost getting yourself killed to prevent that won’t help .
Did you even stop to think about what could’ve happened to you ?
What if I didn’t make it in time to stop him ? What if you died tonight ?
My chéri , my partner , the one I love most in the entire world … gone . >
He wiped away some of the blood on your face , and you could feel his hand shake slightly as he did … a sign of how troubled he was while imagining that scenario .
< … Je … je ne peux pas … I just can’t afford to lose you , y/n . You’re too important to me . >
The dark alleyway in which you were hiding remained completely silent after that , until you sighed while placing a kiss on his palm .
< Bullfrog … that’s not gonna happen , I promise .
You’re right , I … really didn’t think this through . I just … every time I hear someone talking about you like that I lose it … >
Bullfrog’s expression softened , and as he placed his forehead against yours all the bad experiences of that night seemed to vanish …
< I know … you’re always looking out for me mon amour , and I love you so much for that ~
… just , maybe next time don’t punch anyone , alright ? >
< Heh … I’ll try not to . >
He chuckled in response , while slowly getting back on his feet .
< Now then … as soon as you feel ready we can try to head back home : I think it’s safe to say it’s been quite a long night for both of us . >
< Yeah , that sounds like a plan .
… plus I do need to thank you properly for saving my life don’t I ? ~ >
< Oh , you know you don’t have to thank me , my dear … but it would be crazy to pass up that offer ~ >

hello hello my lovely Tumblr gals!
I've been waiting to post about this until it was like, a forreal sure thing, but I'm SO excited I gotta share the news 🤩
soooo as most of you already know, my wife & I both have serious chronic health conditions, which come with severe chronic pain as well as all the other wonderful symptoms. We have been struggling to maintain a life of working full time, doing things we enjoy to keep ourselves sane, taking care of our 6 pets, and also getting chores/errands/tasks done like keeping the house clean, grocery shopping and cooking instead of frozen meals and doordash, etc. A couple weeks ago, I posted an ad on a roommate seeking page to "rent" out our spare bedroom. Except instead of money, the majority of the rent would be "paid" by helping us out with those sorts of tasks to help us live as close to a normal life as possible. I created a scaled system where the more assistance = the more the reduction in rent, with a very low cap on the money side of the rent bc we really don't want to take advantage of anyone or profit off renting out a room, so just enough to cover the basic costs. The goal was to find a mutually beneficial arrangement with someone who needed a place to live without paying the current horrifying rental prices of South FL, and was able bodied and capable of helping us out a bit (on their own schedule, around their other work/obligations).
I posted it pretty impulsively when I had the idea, thinking not many people would see it or respond to it, just sort of putting feelers out to see if there was any interest in that kind of arrangement. I specified female only (and of course got multiple messages from men). First thing the next morning, a woman who looks about my age sends me a message. She and her gf have been urgently looking for housing since the plans they had made had fallen through last minute, after they were already packed and everything with their lease ending at the end of February.
She was 100% good vibes right away. We messaged for a couple hours straight, just got talking, and intermittently throughout the day. It turned out there were so many strange coincidences between us, it was uncanny. And talking to her felt like talking to a close friend of many years, not a total stranger. That first day I talked to her, really good things happened to me the rest of the day. Solutions to problems that had been causing me stress for weeks or months fell into my lap. I'm not spiritual or superstitious or anything for the most part, but sometimes the universe is just screaming in your face that something is right.
We kept texting, and planned a video chat "wine date" to discuss the arrangement and get to know each other better. We talked for hours, past 2am, and it felt so natural. Never an awkward moment. We have very similar couple dynamics, we like the same lifestyle and hobbies, we have the exact same sense of humor and communication style, the first woman I had talked to and I go by the same nickname, their dog and one of our dogs are very similar breed mixes and born almost exactly just 1 month apart... I could go on. I mean we even buy the same brand of vapes 😅 They're clean freaks who enjoy cleaning together, and one of them is super into cooking and likes to keep an herb and vegetable garden (we have a huge backyard and have been longing for a garden for ages). I looked up their post in the group, which was posted weeks before mine, and they were a perfect match. We were looking for the exact same things in a roommate.
The decision was made that first video chat night (there have been more since). They were abso-fucking-lutely going to be our new roomies. I wrote up a unique lease, month to month like we both were looking for, and had it looked over by a lawyer, who said we're good to go. My wife and I have been gushing about them to all our friends and our parents. We've been calling it a "couples crush" 😂 I told them that, and they excitedly admitted they've been doing the same thing. My wife and I have also been so much happier and more productive and active since all this started.
These absolute angels have even offered to help us get the house clean from where it's at now instead of us rushing to deep clean before they arrive. They seem genuinely empathetic and like they want to help 😭 And we feel the same way about their housing and financial situation. We own the home, which means there's an inherent power dynamic when renting out a room, so I worked hard to talk to them and create a lease that would equalize as much as possible. My wife and I emphatically expressed that we want them to feel like it's fully their home - we remember from renting in the past how it can sometimes not feel like your home. For me, renting was damaging to my mental health. All the rules and restrictions made me feel unable to create a safe-feeling home environment. We don't want to put any restrictions on them when it comes to pets, drilling into walls, painting the room, re-landscaping the backyard, whatever. We also told them they're always welcome to give us feedback, communicate totally honestly with us about any of their needs, complaints, changes they want to the lease, etc.
Soooo with all that said... they're moving in on Friday! We are all counting the days. We already know we're gonna have a ton of fun together. We even agreed to have "family dinners" sitting together at the table a couple times a week 🙈 We are all just so dorky it's beautiful.
And! I accidentally said "gyns" referring to them in a message 😅 so I had to explain that, and they were SUPER interested and want us to teach them about radical feminism. Like??? We couldn't have created a more perfect roommate situation in a mad scientist's lab. I've been working on trusting my gut recently, as it never seems to lead me astray, and every instinct I have says this is Good.

Free Psychic Reading By Egyptian Sand! (PAID READINGS ARE ALSO OPENED!) 🏺✨💫
Let’s explore the sands and uncover the messages about your future spouse and love language! 🌟✨ Here are the patterns that have formed:
First, I see a tree 🌳 in the sand. This symbolizes growth, stability, and nourishment. It suggests that as you enter this relationship, you'll develop a strong foundation of independence and self-sufficiency. You have the potential to flourish in your career, allowing you to give and receive gifts without feeling burdened. Your independence will empower you to share and express love through your own means! 🌿
Next, there’s a bridge 🌉 forming in the sand. This represents connection, communication, and understanding. It indicates that you will find common ground with your future spouse regarding love languages. Since his love language is gift-giving, your willingness to communicate your feelings about gifts will bridge any gaps. Your openness will encourage him to understand your perspective and may even lead to a deeper connection between you both! 💬💕
Finally, I notice a circle 🔵 in the sand. This signifies unity, wholeness, and the cycle of giving and receiving. It indicates that while you might not be accustomed to gifts, you have your own unique way of showing love, such as through words of affirmation, quality time, or acts of service. It’s essential to communicate your love language and expectations. Your future spouse will appreciate your honesty and may adapt his gestures to align with how you feel comfortable expressing love! ❤️
Summary: Today’s reading suggests that you will grow into a place of independence where you can give gifts comfortably.

Hi there!
So I don't know if you're taking anymore asks. If you are yay haha! Anyway I was wondering how do you get into the tutoring business. Like I see others and want to do it as well. I love helping others but there's some subjects I'm really good in.
Sorry and thank you
Hello anon dear! Ofc my asks are open, hmu literally whenever (but if I don’t reply after a while, remind me bc I can be forgetful 😅)
So anyway I’m gonna assume that you’re talking about getting into remote tutoring? I’m not sure if you mean as a part time side job or as a full time tutor either, but what I’ve been doing is just for some extra money on the side. I’ve been with the company Varsity Tutors and there are lots of pros and cons, but in general I enjoyed helping the kids and talking to the parents.
I’m gonna ramble on under a read more, but also feel free to send another ask and/or message with questions, I’m happy to help!! ☺️
If you like to teach and help others, good at communicating and you have plenty of patience, then you can be a great tutor! Patience levels may vary based on kid’s age and/or current skill level.
The way I found VT was through some online job board, I wanna say Indeed…not sure if you’re American, anon, but I’m also talking from that perspective too btw. Anyway there was an online interview process and they contacted me to start. Now, this is mainly about tutoring through a website. I don’t know a lot about tutoring as a fully independent tutor, but I do have some advice to give in that regard.
Pros: they supply the clientele, so you don’t have to go hunting them down yourself. There are plenty of opportunities, especially during the school year. It’s not too hard to choose the hours/days you wanna work. You can easily go part or full time (if you’re able to arrange your schedule lol) If someone cancels last minute you can still get paid for your time. Sites like VT have learning centers that tutors and students can use to work together. VT specifically has like a video chat + whiteboard, so I can talk to the kids and put up problems or draw or whatever. You can choose who to tutor based on your skills, like I did English and Math but if someone wanted a higher level of math than I can do, I could just refuse.
Cons: you have to be wary of clients that just want you to do homework/write essays for them. (I always say I’ll do it with them, not for them, and usually they just refuse. If I get uncomfortable enough I just leave. Not worth my time.) The pay isn’t the best but it’s okay, however as far as I know they charge clients a lot more than what we tutors get. A big con was communication for me, mainly VT’s fault, sometimes clients themselves. Mainly not letting me know when sessions needed to be canceled - though I still got paid, I did have to waste time just sitting there, staring at a blank screen. The learning center was great except when it wasn’t, as in technical difficulties galore. Sometimes I even had to call the kids over my own phone to get things done. There’s a lot of pressure on you as the tutor to come up with your own lesson plans. VT does have a couple problem sets that you can use, but for the most part I had to make and/or look up my own problems. Free worksheets are your friend.
This is very long already but there may be more, I can’t think of anything else rn 😅 note that all of these might not apply to all tutoring sites. If you wanna know anything else lmk!

We’re moving! ☺
We’re officially on the lease, rent paid, & today should be move in day (just waiting for roommate to remove the bed we don’t need (bringing our own) & let us know we’re clear to move).
Finally told the parents now that it’s time to move big furniture & everyday stuff (we already moved smaller/less noticable things). Got a complaint that “it’s finalized” from mom, & a “nothing can be done” from dad (ft guilt trips, naturally 🙄) as if we’re dying, but...it’s happening.
Roommate is a fellow auDHD queer who moved there to escape their toxic family as well, & we already discussed rules & boundaries upfront, so I know we’ll be safe & get along there. We’re even allowed to lock the bedroom door 😭 (/positive, but not used to so excited & relieved).
We’re gonna be safe, for the first time in our life. We’re gonna be safe.
& yeah we’re gonna crash (survival mode, unmasking→burnout) but we can’t heal or grow any further still living here. We need to get out to continue our journey. Even if they hate it.
I’m so grateful we made it this far. Thank you to the 2 or 3 people who tried to or did send donations to help us eat & survive here (/gen). We’re now able to apply for federal food aid (it’s based on household, so...parents make too much for us to get help here), & start saving, & start building credit, &...hopefully we’ll never struggle bad enough to have to ask for help again, but we’ll survive if we do. We hope to get to a point we can help others instead 😅.
We’ll still maintain this blog & post updates sometimes. It may be less frequent depending on how much we remember (trauma-wise) after escaping, but...we’ll see, I guess.
Thank you all so much for your support.
We’ll be very busy for roughly a week as we move the last of our stuff, apply for federal aid, get doctor’s appointment(s) set up, & otherwise get on our feet so we may be quiet. But we’ll be back once things settle down. 💚

Rf4 or Rf5 which is better and why? :3c
And thoughts on the whole catching skill thing? Yay or nay?
Oof that’s a bit of a tricky question actually because I’ve made barely any progress in the grand scheme of Rune Factory 5 😅 It’s only been like two in-game months, I’m still in the main storyline and I’ve paid hardly any attention to romance and bonus features so I don’t think I can really judge it yet lol
That being said... right now I think 4 is better, particularly the Special. It’s just that bit more polished. I’m not usually someone to judge a game based on performance and graphics, but the fact is that 4 (and all the other previous games) have a distinct “Rune Factory” style that is largely missing from 5, and part of that style (i.e. the 2D backgrounds) allows for zero lag and no loading screens. I love the models in 5, and the lag isn’t that bad, but I do get frustrated when 4 was so snappy in comparison. Frontier and Oceans did it first, but I feel like Rune Factory was doing great with the top-down-on-2D gameplay and didn’t need to change it. And the jankiness gives me a headache sometimes :/
4 also has some of my favourite characters, dialog, events and gags. The story was pretty simple but i found it very moving. The dungeons are huge and full of secrets. And while I don’t think I’ve seen enough of 5 to make a fair comparison, no characters have really jumped out at me like characters in 4 did.
I don't know if this is true but I theorize 4 may have been intended to be the last game in the series. Or at least, the devs thought it might be - and heck it nearly was! I say this because it feels like a celebratory send off - finishing the story from 1 with a bang, putting in a ton of references and callbacks including multiple bonus monsters, having so many dungeons and so much dialog. I felt this even before I'd played any of the other games. There’s something really special about 4. I think the devs put their hearts and souls into it and it shows.
Not that they didn’t with 5! but maybe not as much haha
Of course, however, I am clearly biased towards the first Rune Factory game I played 😅 and who knows, maybe I’ll change my mind once I’ve spent more time with 5! I honestly hope I come to love it as much as 4, because it is a really good game!
As for the catching skill... well I haven't really used it much yet 😅 but I do like it. For one thing it lets you 'try out' a new monster before committing to taming it. For another it helps stop your existing party from killing monsters before you can tame them 😂 Plus being able to freeze tricky enemies while robbing them blind is very useful! Also the ability to lasso object from far away is handy. I wouldn’t call it vital or necessary but like, neither are sword flowers, monsters seeds or field dungeons. They add spice instead.
Thank you for the ask! Hope you don’t mind this essay of an answer 😂

Hi!! I don't know if your still doing this (https://bookswitchcraftandcats.tumblr.com/post/641706197898166272/request-something-weird) so if you are I was wondering if you could do almost a forbidden friendship between a god and a demigod, Percy and Hermes? Idk if this is weird enough, but is rare 😅 thanks 😊
How does this friendship start? A great question I've been pondering for the past hour.
Percy goes on many quests and after the one where he gets "paid " fr this by going to Paris with Annabeth, he is more likely to do them for Hermes.
Hermes ends up always asking Percy to do quests for him because he is most efficient and less likely to die. In return, he sends him helpful hints on his other quests and help with monsters.
They get to know each other over the years, Hermes gives less quest because Percy has way too much on his plate already.
Soon he's just stopping by CHB to say hi, they become sort of friends.
Hermes gets in trouble for interacting with mortals so much. He starts being more secretive. He can't help but point out that that advice is technically what started the Titan war.
Percy's mail always arrives on time and his amazon packages are there in two days or less.
He can also travel anywhere super fast because Hermes is the god of travel. He always gets mysteriously upgraded to first class.
I hope this is what you wanted, thanks for the ask!!!

Hi! Idk if you're taking requests, but if you are, can I ask for a Bakugou/Reader one-shot based the the MV of In Heaven by JYJ? It's an old song but it's one of my favorites. :) Can it be angst with a happy ending? You're an amazing writer and I love ALL your fics. I just never had the courage to message you until now. Keep safe!
Déjà Vu
Bakugou x Fem!ReaderWord Count: 2168
!!Death, angst with happy ending
A/N: I never know how to end fics so sorry if it feels like it ends abruptly 😅. Also I used to be super into Kpop from like 2008-2014ish so I remember this!! Hopefully this is what you wanted :x
What will Bakugou do when he gets another chance after losing you?
–
‘Busy tonight’ words you grew used to hearing. They didn’t hurt any less though and as you sit in your apartment staring out at the night sky, you wonder when your boyfriend will not be busy.
Keys scrape against the door and a moment later a haggard Bakugou walks in. He takes one look at you on the couch dressed to the nines and squints.
“I said I was busy.” He passes by, stripping out of his suit as he goes. Something about needing good press has him dressing nicely. It’s not for you though.
“I didn’t think you would forget or be this late…” you whisper to no one in particular. Faintly you can hear the shower running. The beginning of his end-of-day routine. You slip off to the kitchen and take the candles out of the cake. There’s always next year… if he remembers. You stare at the numbered candles and make a wish. Even if they aren’t lit, you can still send your hopes off into space.
I wish… that I was more important to him.
-
An invitation sits unanswered in your emails. A party for you and Bakugou to attend. He won’t want to go. If you bring it up, he’ll say he’s ‘too busy’. Is it worth the argument? You could always go by yourself, but then Bakugou would be upset even though he wouldn’t want to go.
What’s the actual point of trying? You know what he’s going to say… Maybe he wouldn’t mind if Kirishima accompanied you…
You’re so absorbed in your thoughts that you don’t hear the car careening out of control. Only when there’s a couple shouts around you do you snap out of your reverie and take in your surroundings. Of the car barreling towards you.
You’re frozen to the spot. Your brain screams to get out of the way while your muscles tense and prepare for the worst. A deer in headlights. If only you had paid attention to your surroundings! If only-
-
Bakugo’s phone rings. He looks down at the screen and scowls.
“What?” he snaps.
“Can I speak with a Mr. Bakugou, please?” the voice on the other end says.
“You called me, now what do you want?”
“There’s been an accident sir,” the voice sounds heavy. Bakugou knows these calls. He’s been there when the police had to make them. He’s heard the wailing come from the other end. He never expected to be on the receiving end of this call though.
“Y/N? She’s…?” his voice trails off.
“She didn’t make it.”
“What happened?” Bakugou can barely breathe. He saw you just this morning. You wished him well and went to work. God he can’t even remember what he said to you… Did he say anything? He had been so absorbed memorizing canned lines for the stupid PR meeting.
It had been a drunk driver. At 2 in the goddamn afternoon. And no one had stepped in to help. You had been alone. And now Bakugou is alone.
The shared apartment has hints of you all over it. Grief finally sets in and wraps around his heart and squeezes, sucking the life out of him.
A cry so raw pours out from his soul. Tears he held back at the press conference finally fall freely. That night he cried so hard as if his voice could tear the gates of heaven open and bring you back. But nothing will bring you back.
Ten months pass by. Ten months of monotonous routine, of going to bed alone and staring at your half of the bed. It’s not enough time to mend his heart. As the anniversary of your death approaches, Bakugou becomes more withdrawn from his already limited social interactions. Not even Kirishima can break through to him. He focuses internally on how he could have been better.
How a person could sink so far into their work is beyond him, but Bakugou does it. He keeps the apartment as a reminder of how he failed. How he can do better in the future- not that there will be anyone in the future. It’ll just be him.
-
There’s a light scraping at the door. Bakugou smirks and wonders who is stupid enough to try and break in. What he didn’t expect was to see you.
“Oh, you’re home,” you smile, “I expected you to be at the agency.” The knife falls out of Bakugou’s hands into the cutting board with a clatter. “And you’re cooking? Aren’t I lucky!” It looks like you and sounds like you. Even has your smile down to a T, but Bakugou had watched your casket descend into the ground. He had watched as dirt surrounded the box, encasing you forever.
Great. The only logical explanation is that he’s hallucinating or you’re a ghost. His feet bring him to you before he can think and he reaches out hesitantly.
“Katsuki?” you ask, concern clearly written on your face. His fingers barely brush your cheek and he pulls back like your skin burned him. His eyes narrow as another possibility enters his mind; villain.
“When did I first tell you that I loved you?” Bakugou asks with forced casualness. It’s the safety question you had both come up with after a crazed fan tried to impersonate you.
The worry melted from your face and a small smile crept on your lips. No one would ever repeat this answer back to him.
“When I said ‘fuck off McBlasty.’” It had been during a passionate argument over something trivial. In the moment, you had snarled the line at him and he had just stopped and stared at you. No one had called him McBlasty to his face. Sure, Kaminari and Sero might jokingly say it behind his back, but never ever in front of him.
“It’s you,” he whispers. Bakugou collects you in his arms and holds you close as if not touching you would take you away from him. “How did you get here?”
“I took the train?” you reply, “You said you would be working late. Did something happen at work today?” You hold out your phone and show him the text. He reads over it, not remembering sending you anything since you were, ya know, gone.
The date next to his message catches him by surprise though. A month before the accident. Bakugou pulls out his own phone and checks. He’s lost eleven months. Or gained it back? There has to be an easy explanation for this. You aren’t a ghost, a villain, or a hallucination. Time travel is… not out of the realm of possibilities? Maybe someone used a quirk on him without his knowledge.
A miracle. A second chance. That’s what it is.
“I missed you,” he whispers in your ear.
“We saw each other this morning,” you laugh and try to pull back.
“Just a little longer,” Bakugou closes his eyes and inhales deeply. You relax into his embrace and cherish the rare moment of time alone- just the two of you.
-
“So, there’s this thing tonight…” you bring up over breakfast one morning. You refuse to meet his eyes and stir your coffee absentmindedly.
“What is it?”
“It’s… a couples painting event. One of those drink and paint things. Mina invited us; she’s getting a small group together.”
Bakugou can see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice. The resignation. The knowledge that he’ll turn you down- at least, that’s what the old Bakugou would do. What he did do. He remembers this and how he blew you off. He’s using borrowed time and he wants to make the most of it.
“Sure, what time?” You look up in surprise. God you look adorable. Have I really been that distant? Is that all it takes to see her smile? What kind of shitty boyfriend have I been that I can’t even do that?
“Seven,” you smile and dig into your food.
Painting wasn’t half bad. The highlight of the evening was definitely seeing you enjoy an evening with friends.
Over the next couple of weeks, Bakugou makes an effort to do anything and everything he can with you. The effort doesn’t go unnoticed and the both of you bloom in the revitalized relationship.
-
“I have that PR meeting today,” Bakugou grouses over breakfast. “They want me to say some rehearsed shit. Something about getting bad press and causing too much destruction.”
“Okay,” you hum, “I have some errands to run. We’re still on for the party tonight?”
“Do we have to get a gift for them?”
“It’s a baby shower, we’re getting them a gift,” you laugh.
“Icyhot is loaded, if he needs anything, he can buy it himself,” Bakugou grumbles.
“We’re getting them something,” you say firmly. “I already have something picked out though. It’ll be ready this afternoon.” Afternoon… Something about this afternoon raises a red flag… but he can’t place it. His mind is bogged down with lines he has to memorize by the meeting.
The crowded room is stuffy and Bakugou’s suit clings to him uncomfortably. His phone goes off. His agent is addressing the crowd of press surrounding a small platform. Bakugou checks and sees a calendar event. Y/N’s accident. Oh shit. That’s what was so important about today. Again, he had been so wrapped up in the damn meeting that he almost forgot. Scratch that, he did forget, his phone reminded him.
“Without further ado, Ground Zero!”
Bakugou is pushed onto the stage. All his preparation goes out the window. Maybe he can speed things along and rush to where you are.
No, fuck that. He messed up once and lost you, he’s not going to lose you again. Without saying a word, he turns and walks off the stage. Bakugou can hear the growing murmurs and his agent scrambling to save the meeting.
Outside he frantically dials your number. Pick up, pick up, pick up!
“Hello?” you say.
“Where are you?” Bakugou demands.
“I’m just about to pick up the baby shower gift,” you respond. Bakugou takes off towards the shop. It’s close to where the accident happened. You’re not safe. He could still lose you. “What’s going on?”
Fuck. He’s too far away. Without a second thought, he propels himself through the air with his quirk. He’s not on duty or in uniform. There will be consequences, but consequences be damned. Ten months without you was hell and Bakugou is not ready to go through all the grief again.
Down below, Bakugou is able to make out a car driving erratically. The same make and model as the one that struck you. Then he sees you, trying to talk on the phone- to him. Putting everything he has into one last powerful explosion, he angles himself towards you.
“Y/N!” he roars. You look up, confused. Realization dawns on you as you see the car heading towards you and your boyfriend flying through the air in a normal suit. You drop everything and brace for impact from the car. Bakugou is so close he can see the tears forming in your eyes. He wills himself to beat the car there. He has to. He’s here this time. There’s no way the universe would let you slip through his grasp again when he’s so close.
There’s a sickening crunch.
When the dust clears, Bakugou sees the car crumpled against a building wall. He slowly becomes aware of the trembling body in his arms.
“Y/N,” he pulls you close and lets your comforting scent wash over him. “I’ve got you.”
“K-Katsuki,” you cry, “Are you okay?” Bakugou had slid on his back on the concrete with you cradled in his chest. His suit was in shreds now and he’d have a serious case of road rash, but that didn’t matter. You are safe. He cups your face in his hands and wipes away your tears.
“I’m fine,” he says, “I’ve got you. I’m not losing you this time.” You stare into his crimson eyes, worried.
“‘This time’? I think you might’ve hit your head,” you say, “And how did you know where I was or that that was going to happen?”
“Call it déjà vu,” Bakugou holds you tight until the ambulance arrives. The first responders have to pry you from him so they can treat his injuries. He also recognizes the voice of the officer that called him ten months ago to deliver the devastating news. Both of your phones are blowing up after someone posted a shaky video of the rescue online. Most are from friends, a series of ignored calls are from Bakugou’s agent. None of that matters though. You’re safe and Bakugou gets another chance at a life with you.
“I love you, you know that?” Bakugou whispers in your ear after the EMTs clear him, or rather, Bakugou clears himself and ignores their pleas to go to a hospital.
“I love you too, McBlasty,” you whisper back to him.

2020 Sucked.
But I want to take a moment to remember that there were bright spots. So I give you a list of 10 things that made this year worth getting dragged through:
-Signed on directly with the company I’m working for.
Which meant I didn’t have to deal with a third party giving orders on top of this company’s admins who actually run the place. It meant getting paid more. It meant being able to be seen as a patient there for free. I’ve worked at this location for years, but this one definitely felt different (and not just cause of 2020 itself, but in how I interact with the Admins and the rest of the staff), and for the better.
-Attended my first Mardi Gras celebrations
I’ve lived really close to Louisiana for years, and not once before this year did I go to any Mardi Gras event. This year I went to TWO parades (and a festival). I was IN one of said parades. It was very fun and I came away with plenty of beads to decorate our little Christmas tree with. (And plenty to spare). And no, the beads didn’t require flashing anybody. These ones just tossed necklaces at everyone as they passed by. All-age-inclusive bead tossing.
-FINALLY got my drivers license
I had SO MUCH anxiety about this, had to jump through so many legal hoops, and was certain I’d fail a road test. But due to the nature of 2020, they apparently decided the written test was enough and waived the road test. So after applying for the test, instead of getting a call to arrange an appointment for it, I just... received my driver’s license in the mail one day. Much to my pleased shock. (Relax, I’ve only been in the one accident since this occurred this August.... >.>)
-Also got my very first car
Not only my driver’s license but also a car! A little blue Scion, that was my mom’s for a long time. (And was being called the Tardis long before it got into my hands. I just totally leaned into the theming.) Its been a good little car, easier to steer and park than most, and I’m always afraid I’ll kill it between being an unskilled and forgetful driver. It has helped so much to have a car, but it may be a while before the anxiety stops spiking any time I have to drive. 😅
-Got a Nintendo Switch
Friends and fiancé pitched in together for my birthday and got me a Switch! I have played SO much Pokemon, and some Minecraft. Hopefully I’ll get to do more multiplayer stuff with friends pretty soon. I guess its also really the first console I’ve owned, myself. Quite a few firsts this year somehow.
-Brought home new kittens
Marle and Neo have helped with the depression of this past year so much since we brought them home. Sure, they do the annoying kitten things at times that exasperate me so much. But they are so worth it for the purrs, and the cuddles, and the nuzzles, and the adorableness that is watching them play. And then Buffy joined in and has finally become more comfortable with me, so I can pet her on the regular now (And sometimes even wake up with her next to me). Every time I feel like an honor has been bestowed. They made October-onward of this year a bit easier to get through.
-Biden winning the election (or more accurately, Trump losing)
When they called it, I was exhausted, having dealt with Neo’s medical emergency the previous day. It had left me with the WORST fatigue I have had ever. Sitting up was work. But oh man, some of it did lift when I read that Biden had won the election. If I hadn’t been so tired I might have cried. Knowing that the vote told a certain someone to get his ass out has been a shiny source of hope ever since then. Good riddance.
-Got a new iPad for Solstice
My old iPad mini served me for almost a decade, but it finally reached the point that it couldn’t use any of the currently decent art programs, and wouldn’t stop immediately crashing the old one. So I was artless until I could get a replacement, which I expected would be a while. And then instead of sending Christmas money like she does many years, my mom found out about the iPad and sent me a refurbished iPad Air 3. Still new enough to handle art apps for a very decent enough amount of time, and not so new that it was ridiculously expensive. I’m still getting the hang of the upgraded software and the size of the iPad, since my old one was a mini. But I foresee creating some excellent designs on this for some time to come.
-And a Mandalorian helmet
I have wanted Mandalorian armor since 2012. I started to make some, but circumstances at the time sort of halted that indefinitely. (Certain people SAYING the were fine with me making it, but not giving me any of the time or materials or transportation I needed to do so while I was solely dependent on them certainly didn’t help.) While I had some armor formed, I had sadly still never had an iconic Mando helmet of my own. Until now. My brother is a talented cosplayer, and talented at using his 3D printer. So now, as of Christmas, I finally have a fantastic keldabe of my own and every time I see it, I feel so much joy. I feel like one of my old, tired dreams was found and shined up again.
-Last but definitely not least, I still have the love and support of my fiancé, friends, and family.
From my fiancé, who shows his love for me every day, even stuck on the other side of the world from me, and his family who send their love and ask how I’m doing...
To my roommate giving me advice, or sharing movie nights, or including me as a part of her streams, or having confidence in my ability to be an adult (which is still mind-boggling to me after the 10 years of gaslighting and verbal abuse before I came here)...
To my family helping me finally get through that hurtle of becoming a driver and continuing to support my decisions (And joking about hilarious ways to correct my grandmother when she uses the wrong name when talking to/about me)...
To friends sharing jokes and feelings and hopes and stories (and in one case, their home when the hurricane forced us to evacuate). Though I know I’m not always great at communication these days, my connection to all of them means so much to me...
Hell, even people at work offered advice and support during times of stress...
And this does include the friends I mostly have here on Tumblr, even though we don’t interact much outside of this site. You guys validate me when I’m feeling down, or I have incredible doubt, and celebrate my wins with me. You post great things that we can often share, whether its emotional or funny or nerdy. It helps to keep me connected to others out there.
Amazingly, there was some very good personal stuff somewhere in this dumpster-fire of a year. I hope the next year is less tumultuous for the world in general. And I hope that in 2021, we all experience plenty of things to look back on and celebrate by the time it comes to a close.
I love you guys. ❤️
Good luck!

Lol, sending you a bunch from the writer's asks. 5, 24, 27, 28 (Old City+boomerang+Teslen), 30, 35, 41, 47, 50. XD
Wow that's a lot of questions XD. Thank you!
5. What fanfic of yours should everyone have read?
I'm torn tbh XD. Like I would say The Temptation Within but you need context for that so hmm. The Admins Know Better. You need context for that too but eh XD. It’s not that obvious 😅.
24. How many WIPs (work-in-progress) do you’ve got?
2 ish XD. Maybe 3 XD.
27. Do you take requests?
If I find something to my liking then yeah ☺️.
28. I will name you three things (object — scenario — fandom/ship): write a paragraph or two!
You said Old City boomerangs and Teslen but ah well XD. This is mostly Teslen has a bit of boomerangs and it’s technically in Old City? It will have to do XD.
“Remind me again, when did I say you can use my scalpels as boomerangs?” Helen asked just as he threw one to the opposite wall. Just before hitting it, it flew back to him and he caught it mid-air, earning himself a glare from her.
“I need to test my new abilities, Helen,” he pouted. “You wouldn’t stay between me and science, would you?”
“I wouldn’t dream of that,” she said, her voice a bit teasing at that. “I just thought a genius like you would find more interesting things to play with.” Turning her back to him, she went to the door, but he paid her no attention. Helen opened the door with a huff, almost missing the cold air that hit her spine. She felt the dress of her zipper going down and couldn’t help a smile at that. This, she could work with.
30. What writing software do you use?
Microsoft Word for the win. Or Notepad if I'm feeling hardcore
35. What is your favorite review?
He didn’t stop them when they tore down his bed, starting a storm of feathers around him.”
“because having her in his bed, her back drenched in blood and wine, made him all kinds of hungry.”
These two simple sentences remind me of your brilliant talent. Never will I appreciate sanctuary fan fiction as much as yours… your characters are spot-on with just enough play for imagination and comedy. As always, well done! Such a pleasure to read. By magnusAT on Stay. I just had to pause after reading that because I so didn’t deserve this much praise but she wrote that and gah.
41. What is something you don’t like about your writing?
I suck at descriptions XD.
47. What fanfic of yours is truly underrated?
I had some porn ones which didn’t get as much attention as I wanted but given the fact that I erm didn’t exactly wrote them with my head well XD. Maybe I had that coming XD.
50. Can we get a teaser for an upcoming chapter?
Hmmm. My laptop is in a coma atm and also I don’t know if I would be allowed to anyway… but I can tell you that I am planning a Deckerstar fic. It’s for a request and it will mostly be me trashing God but ah well XD.

I'm an adult and I'm still waiting! 😅😳😩
Sorry for the light amount of content this week--I do have a behind-the-scenes photo of this week's and next's Pete, Cartooned when both comics were only pencilled.
I blurred out next week's pencils because, you know, spoilers! I left a few tantalizing hints in there to keep you guessing until the next comic comes out on Wednesday. 😉
That's it for this week's Pete.ink/weekly!
I'd like to apologize--first for sending this edition of Pete.ink/weekly out late but also, in advance, for some aggressive pleas for financial support. Well, they'll be aggressive for me. I hate even thinking about money, but if I want to keep creating content, it has to be done. You can help me avoid this by sharing my work, this issue of Pete.ink/weekly or anything else I post with your friends/family! You can also up get a subscription/membership on my Patreon, BuyMeACoffee, or Tumblr. They start at just $2/mo! You can also subscribe to my Substacks! Each will run you $5/mo. Cancel any time!
While sharing is literally how you will help me build an audience, enough people getting paid subscriptions/memberships/etc is how I'll pay my rent and bills. No one does anything alone, after all. Thanks again for reading!
Have a great week and hope you enjoyed the content!
-Pete!

NEW UPDATE:
So good news I officially have a job and start Monday!!! Bad news I do not have enough money to pay my phone bill and I do get paid in time either 😩 My phone bill is $55 and I also need money for a bus pass to even make it to work but honestly I can figure that out as long as I can get money so the phone company doesn't shut my phone off 😭😭😭 I'm sorry I know I said that I wouldn't need any more donations and I really hoped I wouldn't but if anyone could send me even a bit to help me raise the money to pay for my phone bill I would really appreciate it 😅💙💙💙
Cashapp: $bluejayinflight
So honestly I didn't think I would ever have to do this but I'm currently stuck in a different state because someone who was supposed to be my friend said they would help me escape my emotionally abusive father. So I took two planes to a different state and now I'm stuck here with no one to help me and only 90$ to my name trying to figure out what I'm going to do next. Right now I'm sitting in an ER waiting room because I was trying to get admitted into a mental hospital to get help for my mental health issues because that's what I was planning to do before I had to leave suddenly but they said I didn't fit the criteria.
I've been calling homeless shelters trying to figure out where to go although they're either full or don't pick up. I don't know where to go and I don't have anyone to turn to. I've cried so much tonight and I never thought I would be in this situation but now I am and I'm asking for help. If anyone can send anything really anything at all I would really appreciate and if you can't I completely understand although a reblog to boost this would always be appreciated as well. Thank you to anyone who helps in any way it means the world to me.
