Hi so small life update so you don’t worry about me:
Exams are starting, like, this coming week, and that includes music juries (yippee…), so if I do not reblog/post/like anything this coming week, just know that I am probably stressed beyond all sense of the word and will be back soon.
That’s all. Love y’all <3

Boyfriend!Mingyu Fluff
MASTERLIST
Coups | Jeonghan | Joshua | Jun | Hoshi | Wonwoo | Woozi | DK | Mingyu | Minghao | Seungkwan | Vernon | Dino
Thanks for the request @ajusquishy !!! I really hope you like it, thanks again for all the compliments on my writing! Feel free to request more! Reminder to everyone that this is a series I only do by request so if there’s one I haven’t written that you want, just request it! (Sorry this one took longer, I had long shifts at work and forgot I promised to do favors for some people)
You and Mingyu have been best friends almost your whole lives
You both met in elementary school
You were in different classes but the whole school got lunch and recess at the same time
You meet each other on the playground
And Gyu being the big puppy that he is, immediately starts whining to you about how he hasn’t made any friends in his class
And you eventually admit that you haven’t either
And then you quietly ask Mingyu if he wants to be friends
And he immediately hugs you and proclaims that he’ll love you forever
And you two have been friends ever since
You know that character trope everyone loves?
Gentle giant befriends a defensive person who’d kill anyone who so much as looks at the gentle giant the wrong way?
That’s you and Gyu
He’s all fully trusting of others and bright smiles and sunshine and flowers
And you’re all
“That person said what to you??? I’m gonna go beat them up”
Truthfully most of your high school days are Mingyu dragging you away to stop you from fighting anyone who’s mean to him
But really since Mingyu is so trusting of everyone he meets
You really have been taking care of him since you met him
Warding off people who try to take advantage of him, helping him with the favors he couldn’t say no to, and comforting him when his feelings get hurt
Usually you’re happy to do all of that for him because you care about Gyu so much and honestly you’d do anything for him
But one time your teacher asks Mingyu to help round up volunteers for garbage pickup
And on the weekend you were planning to go to the beach with other friends
You get stuck on the side of the highway helping Gyu and your teacher pickup trash
You never let him live that one down
But even when you’ve graduated high school and started your 20s
You’re still happy to help Mingyu with what he needs
It’s a bit different now with you being in university and Mingyu being an idol
But you’re also both so much more grown up and mature and understanding that it’s not just the two of you against the world anymore
You’ve made more friends and Mingyu has the boys
Who are all incredibly happy you’re around btw
Especially Coups who sometimes finds being a leader to twelve really stressful and is incredibly happy that Mingyu has someone to depend on even when he gets busy
But aside from all of that, not a lot changes between you and Gyu
Except
“Honestly, Woozi, I don’t know what I’d do without them, [Y/N]’s the kindest person I’ve ever met and I feel like they made me who I am and I honestly can’t even imagine life without them”
“It sounds like you’re in love with them Gyu”
And Mingyu’s like
*white guy blinking gif*
And he realizes that oh
He definitely is in love with you
And after that he’s just
Suffering™
Because he is so completely infatuated with you
And you’re just like
Oblivious™
And he starts convincing himself that you don’t feel the same way
“You don’t know until you tell them, though, Gyu.”
So Mingyu decides he’s gonna tell you
He hypes himself up
Dresses up really nice
Practices a speech in the mirror
Tries to ignore Seungkwan and Hoshi walking in every once in awhile to tease him
And heads over to your place
And when he walks in
You’re...
Packing???
“Oh hey Gyu, I have big news”
He doesn’t want to assume the worst but he can feel his heart sink down to his feet
“You know that summer internship I applied for? The one abroad? I got it!”
You squeal excitedly and grab Gyu’s arms as you jump up and down
“Can you believe it? The whole summer overseas, interning at my dream job!!!”
“No, I can’t...”
“What are you so dressed up for? Do y’all have something important scheduled today?”
“Oh, uh, yeah”
“Bummer, I was gonna force you to help me pack”
Mingyu is distressed when he gets back home
What if he tells you and you get into a relationship but it starts off long distance and it’s too much and your relationship ends before it can even begin?
What if he doesn’t tell you and you meet someone while you’re there and it’s over for him?
He just lays face down in his bed the rest of the day, groaning and pulling at his hair
When the day comes for you to leave, he drives you to the airport
“Remember the time change when you try to call me, and make sure to keep me updated on how that new song is going, and tell Hoshi I said to be a little nicer when he’s teaching you the choreo and...”
You stop in your rant when you see Mingyu’s forlorn face
“Hey, it’s only three months-”
“Three months and two weeks” he pouts
“Three months and two weeks” you roll your eyes “But it’ll be over before you know it, I’ll be home soon!”
He nods before pulling you into a tight tight tight hug
And you start to pull away but he just grabs onto you tighter so you just let him hold you for a minute
“I made you some snacks and stuff for the plane ride”
He hands you a bag before sending you off towards your gate
He waves until he can’t see you anymore
To be honest, you don’t really look inside the bag until you’ve already landed and reached the hotel you’re staying in
It’s because you know you’ll miss home and you wanted to have that with you when you were so far away
So you pull out Mingyu’s snacks and chow down
Then you look through the bag to find the other things he packed
An extra pair of headphones bc you always forget yours
Some face masks
Other odds and ins
And a letter
You put the letter to the side, deciding to only read it when you really miss home
Which happens half way through your internship
You get back to your hotel room absolutely exhausted, thinking about how you’ve only made it halfway through
And you really really want to go home
Your employers told you they’d give you some time off
But you’re not sure you’re gonna take them up on their offer
You turn over in your bed and reach around to find the letter Mingyu had written you
You stare at your name written in his handwriting for a bit before opening it
It’s mostly a pretty standard letter
He tells you how much he’ll miss you
How great he thinks you’ll do at your internship
How nervous he is for their comeback
“I’ll give it my all but it won’t be the same since my heart will be across the sea”
You reread it five times thinking you must be misinterpreting it
But nope there it is
You decide to take the vacation days
Mingyu is nothing short of surprised when you show up to the dorm halfway through the summer
“Well you’re back early”
“Oh I’m just here on my time off”
“Why’d you come here for your time off?? You were abroad, there were places you could’ve seen and-”
“Mingyu, I’m in love with you”
He stops dead in his tracks
“What?”
“I don’t think I realized it until I read your note but... I love you”
Time stops for Mingyu
He doesn’t even realize it until
“Usually when people tell you they love you, some sort of response is expected”
“Oh right sorry”
He steps forward towards you and looks over your face
He forces you to look at him by pinching your chin between two fingers and guiding your face towards his
“I love you too”
Then he presses his lips softly against yours and kisses you slowly
As it turns out the long distance isn’t so bad once you go back to your internship
You call as much as you can and send each other gifts
And once you get back
You two are inseparable
Like still the same duo as always
But with a lot more fluff added on top
Just smothering each other with affection
Constantly
“Mingyu please, [Y/N] has their own place, can’t y’all be gross and mushy there instead of at the dorm???”
“Quiet maknae”
Mingyu is elated to be your boyfriend
Like honestly he’s been waiting for this his whole life
He’s kind of clingy in a cute way
Every time you two see each other at the end of the day he runs to you to hug you and greet you
Since you two were already with each other 24/7 before you started dating
Your relationship is really easy
You know how to navigate arguments with each other well
You know each other’s habits
And favorite things
It was already a perfect situation with a beautiful love added on top
Mingyu isn’t always super open about his feelings
But sometimes at night when it’s super late
He’ll lay next to you and play with your hands as he quietly whispers his deepest feelings to you
You always take him seriously at times like this so he knows he can trust you and that he’s safe with you always
Like Hoshi, he’s a bit of a crier at times like this
He’s just so utterly happy to be with someone who cares for him so much and makes him feel so loved
So he can’t help but tear up when he tells you he loves you
Usually it’s during your late night talks
But sometimes it happens in the middle of the day
You’ll just be talking about something or cleaning the kitchen or doing something to entertain yourself and you’ll look over
And Mingyu will have a pout on his face and tears in his eyes
And you’re like ??????
“Babe what’s the matter???”
“I just love you a lot”
Cue the giant puppy pushing himself into your arms and burying his face in your neck
You two switch on being the little spoon quite often bc you both like being held by the other
There are some nights when you both want to be the little spoon and you’ll try to stand your ground but then he’ll act cute to convince you to let him be it
Cue knocking on the wall next to the bed
“Mingyu, [Y/N], please remember that this is a dorm housing twelve other people that don’t want to hear your disgustingly cute argument over who gets to be the little spoon”
“Oh god, Hoshi hyung, you heard that???”
Hoshi is bitter that y’all kept him up
But not bitter for his new material to blackmail Mingyu with lol
But you’re not the only one taking care of Mingyu
Mingyu does lots to take care of you
He remembers your allergies bc sometimes you forget and almost eat something that might set off a reaction
He’ll slap it out of your hand like you do when a baby picks something up off the floor and tries to put it in their mouth lol
When you’re stressed from classes he’ll stay up all night with you until you finish your homework
Even if he can’t help you with it, he’ll keep you company until it’s done
And he’ll make you lots of yummy food while you’re working on it
When you’re upset he’ll hold you while you cry/silently mull it over/rant about what’s happening
And he’ll massage your back and pet your head
Buys you lots of cheesy couple gifts
“Look [Y/N]! I bought us couple plushies for when I leave on tour”
“He stole that idea from me by the way”
“Shut UP maknae”
But he’s willing to do anything to make you happy
Like how you are for him
You two have a one in a million love story

the second first date
this week on ezzy can’t title: this. quick tw for brief discussion of self harm and a mentioned suicide attempt, but this is 99.9999% cute fluff.
-
Cady had a tendency to talk in her sleep, as Janis had learned during several sleepovers. Most of the time it didn't make sense to Janis (or Cady the next morning) but wasn't particularly concerning. Things like:
"Janis. I hate oranges." Good to know. Or, "Janis, the birds are back." Mildly alarming, but they she didn't seem bothered by them. Or, "Janis, why do we have eyebrows?" A valid question.
Occasionally it was cute little things, like:
"Janis, you're my favorite." Janis had to fight to contain a squeal. Or, "You're so pretty." Janis just blushed violently and continued listening. Or, "I need more snuggles." Obviously, Janis pulled her closer and kissed her forehead.
And every once in a while it was something particularly ominous that kept Janis lying awake after, like:
"When did I die?" Huh? Past tense? Or, "How does it know?" How does what know? Or, "Don't mess with me, I know lions." A genuine threat, thankfully not aimed at Janis (she hopes).
Which is why Janis is more than a little concerned when Cady suddenly sits bolt upright in the middle of the night, Janis bracing herself for whatever strange things will come out of Cady's sleep addled mind next. But then Cady turns to her, and she's awake.
"I never got to take you on a surprise date. Our first date was your turn, I never got my turn," She says blearily, eyes full of genuine concern.
"Shh, baby. You can start planning your surprise date in the morning. Go back to sleep, it's late, Princess," Janis croons, pulling Cady back into her embrace.
"Mmkay," Cady hums, seeming content with that as she tucks herself into Janis' neck and falls back asleep almost immediately.
-
When Janis wakes up the next morning, Cady is already at her desk, scribbling away in a notebook. "Why are you all the way over there?" Janis whines sleepily, reaching for her.
"Because you pushed me out of bed and stole all the blankets, you loon. I figured I might as well get started planning," Cady giggles, coming back over for their morning cuddles.
"What do you have so far?" Janis asks, her voice still rough with sleep.
"The whole point is that it's a surprise, Jay. You'll find out when it happens," Cady answers, pulling Janis into her lap.
"Fine," Janis grumbles. She likes knowing things. "When is it happening?"
"Saturday?"
Janis checks her calendar on her phone, sometimes her mom makes her watch her sister on Saturdays. "Works for me, baby," She answers when nothing appears.
"Good," Cady answers. She's has about a week to prepare now, which she needs. She only came up with half an idea.
-
One Janis goes home, Cady immediately pulls out her phone and sends a text to her group chat with the former Plastics.
africabytoto: Guys, I'm taking Janis on a date Saturday and I only came up with an idea for part of it, can you help me????
Gretchen, as always, answers first.
fetchen: You could just take her to dinner or something?? That's always nice
It does sound nice, but not quite right. Janis' ideas were both perfect, Cady wants to do even better for her.
ofmiceandkaren: Gretch took me to a bookstor on our first date!! I picked a storie and she red it to me by the pond! 📷📷️📷📷📷📷📷📷
africabytoto: Aww, that's so cute! Nice name btw
ofmiceandkaren: thanks !! I picked Of Mice and Men but spoylers, ❌📷 it is not even about mice. Gretchie sayd I shuld make it my name anyway 📷📷
That idea is much more Janis, she loves to read, but it still doesn't feel quite right. Maybe they'd do it on another date. Ironically, Regina comes up with the best idea.
bowdownbitches: the fair just opened for the year, you could take her there. Janis loves roller coasters and stuff. or she used to, anyway.
africabytoto: Gina that's perfect!!!! Thanks guys, I'll see you at lunch tomorrow 📷📷
Cady's only seen fairs in movies and has always wanted to go to one, so it's a slightly selfish endeavor, but she does remember hearing Janis rave about them.
——-
When Saturday finally rolls around, Janis is slightly panicked. Cady only told her to wear good walking shoes and dress "decent but not fancy", as if Janis had any idea what that meant. Damian was out of town for the weekend, so she can't ask him to dress her like she normally does.
Then she remembers that she has a baby sister who is actually very good with fashion for her age, so she goes to the top of the stairs to call for her.
"Juju!"
"What?"
"Can you come pick my outfit for my date tonight?"
And suddenly her sister is barreling up the stairs top speed, nearly plowing her down. Apparently she's excited. Janis leads her to her bedroom, opening her closet and dresser drawers for Juliana to dig through.
"Gimme your phone," Julie says once she enters.
"Why?" Janis asks suspiciously, but unlocking and handing it over anyway.
"So I can ask Cady where she's taking you, duh," Julie answers.
Julie taps into her messages, scowling a little at the Cady Girl 📷📷 contact name. Gross.
Jellybean: hey it's julie, janny asked me to pick out her clothes, can u tell me where ur taking her?? i'll delete the messages so she doesn't see
Caddy Cakes: Haha I believe it, but prove it's really you first. Janis is sneaky like that.
Juliana snaps a selfie of herself making a peace sign, showing Janis laying face down on her bed in the background.
Jellybean: Sent a picture: crisis mode Janis feat. me
Caddy Cakes: Aww poor thing D:
Caddy Cakes: I'm taking her to that pottery painting place and then to the fair.
Jellybean: god you two are so sappy. thanks, cady
Caddy Cakes: Not a problem, just make sure to delete these!! Love ya kiddo 📷️
Though she's loathe to admit it, that does get a grin out of her as she deletes the messages and passes the phone back to her sister.
Juliana goes to root through the drawers first, pulling out Janis' favorite swirly tights and a white long sleeved shirt with black roses painted onto it. She lays them on the bed and goes to the closet next, pulling out a plain black skirt, Janis' doc martens, and one of her painted denim jackets.
"Go put this on and then I'll do your hair and stuff," Julie demands, shoving the pile at her sister.
"Yes, ma'am," Janis says, immediately heading into the bathroom and putting everything on. Julie did very well, as she always does.
Once she comes back, her sister sits her on the ground to do her hair, pulling it to the side opposite her shave and braiding it loosely over her shoulder as she tells Janis what makeup to do. It's almost exactly what she normally does, but with black lipstick instead of her usual purple.
It's a rather monochrome look other than the jacket, but Janis decides she's into it as she looks in the mirror. She goes over to ruffle her sister's hair in thanks, barely getting to before the doorbell rings.
Julie rushes past her to get the door before Janis can, throwing the door open and wrapping her arms around Cady's waist. It had taken her a long time to forgive Cady for what she had done to her sister, but once they started dating Cady had tried very hard to form a bond with her. It had worked.
"Oof," Cady grunts as an eleven year old that's roughly the same size as she is suddenly collides with her. "Hey, mini Jay. How are you?"
"Good. Janis is losing it." Julie answers as she lets her go, hiding behind her to avoid Janis' wrath as she yells "Watch it, kid!" from the top of the stairs on her way down.
"Hi, lovey," Cady coos from where she stands in the doorway, instantly melting away Janis' tough facade and earning her a small scowl from Juliana. "You did good, Jules. These are for you, by the way." She says, handing the little one a small bouquet of pink roses.
"You look cute," Janis says once her sister runs away to find a vase with a happy squeal. She really does, Cady's in a grey jumpsuit with a pink leather jacket on top and her white high tops, and her hair is styled in the same way it was when they first met. Janis always loved that little braid crown.
"So do you. Juju really did a good job," Cady purrs, cupping her cheek with her free hand to finally kiss her. "Is your mom home? These are for her," She says, brandishing a larger bunch of tulips.
"I think she's in the kitchen. Mama!" Janis calls, her mother appearing down the hall. Janis just gestures to the flowers.
"Yes? Oh, hi Cady. Ooh, these are beautiful, thank you, hon," She says, taking them and hugging her gently.
"You're welcome, Ms. Sarkisian," Cady answers, returning her embrace. She's also had to work pretty hard to get Janis' moms trust back. She's incredibly thankful Ms. Sarkisian was so forgiving.
"I've told you to call me Ettie, doll. Ms. Sarkisian just makes me feel old," She tuts, Cady knowing there's no way in hell she'll ever be able to refer to her girlfriend's mother by her first name, and especially not a nickname. "Janis, can I expect you home tonight?"
Janis looks at Cady, who shakes her head. "No, I'm gonna spend the night at her house if that's okay," She answers.
"Of course it is. Just be safe and responsible, you know my boring rules," Ms. Sarkisian responds, handing over her always-ready sleepover bag. "I love you, baby girl. Have fun, ladies. Call if you need anything." She pushes them towards the door after Janis hugs her goodbye tightly.
"Your mom is the best," Cady says once they're alone on the porch. "Anyway, theeeeese are for you." She hums as she grabs a bundle of something from the bench next to them.
Janis had been a little confused as to why her mom and sister had gotten flowers and not her, but it makes a bit more sense when she looks to see the bouquet of... paintbrushes?
"You remembered what brand of brushes I use?" Janis asks, almost in awe. The brushes are tied together with a little purple ribbon, the bow a little sloppy. A personal Cady touch.
"Kind of. I remembered what they looked like from watching you paint all the time and then just wandered around some craft stores for, like, two hours until I found ones that matched," her girlfriend answers.
Janis is touched. "I- thank you, baby. I've been needing new ones," she mumbles, touching the soft end of one gently before leaning down to kiss her. She's a little worried, those brushes are kind of expensive.
"You're welcome, darling. Now let's go, we're gonna have fun!" Cady cheers, dragging her towards her little car by the hand and opening the door for her.
Cady is going into her maps app as Janis buckles her seatbelt, tapping a few times to get directions to the first destination. Suddenly, the loud, robotic voice of Siri reverberates through the car, saying, "Starting route to You're Kilning Me! Pottery House," and making them both jump.
Janis starts practically cackling as Cady frantically tries to stop Siri ruining the surprise, yelling "SHUCK!" over the voice. "It was supposed to be a surprise," she pouts once the phone finally goes quiet.
"Oh, baby, it's okay. I still don't know the second part," Janis offers, as Cady genuinely looks distressed. "And I've never been there before, so it's still kind of a surprise."
"Fine," Cady grumbles. "Do you actually want to go here? We can go do something else if you think it's lame."
"No! Baby, this sounds fun," Janis comforts, pulling her into a hug across the center console. "I'm always down to paint, you picked this because you knew I would like it. Let's go decorate some cute little trinkets." She pecks Cady on the nose gently before letting her go.
"Thanks, Jayjay. Now stop being so nice, tonight's about you," Cady demands, taking her hand as they pull out of the driveway.
"As you wish, Peanut," Janis giggles.
——
The place isn't totally Janis' vibe, but she does have to admit it's very cute. The walls are a lime green and covered in various colored handprints, and there's shelves with hundreds of white figurines ready to be decorated.
"So... I thought we could pick and decorate something for each other? If you want," Cady says shyly, squeezing Janis' hand gently.
"Of course I want, Princess. That sounds adorable. Now close your eyes, it should be a surprise," Janis says, letting Cady go to browse the shelves. "No peeking."
Cady covers her eyes with a giggle. "Okay, Jay, I won't."
Janis looks for a minute, nearly picking a little lion piggy bank before remembering Cady already has so many lion things. She finds a butterfly figurine, looking as if it's about to take off, tucked away on one of the lower shelves. Butterfly is her personal favorite nickname for Cady. It's perfect.
She tucks it into her jacket so Cady can't see it before going and pulling her hands off her eyes. "Your turn, Peanut," she says, finding a table that has a divider in so they can paint their things without the other seeing.
Cady comes to find her a few minutes later, resting her jacket over the back of her seat and plopping herself down. Janis hears a little clink as Cady rests whatever ceramic thing she's picked on the table.
An overly cheerful employee comes over to give them their palettes and bottles of glaze, as well as a little chart explaining how many layers to apply for different results. Janis immediately goes for magenta, purple and dark blue, deciding to paint one of the wings of her butterfly as the bi flag. Cady's been wanting more pride stuff.
Cady watches Janis work for a second before remembering she also has something to decorate. She found a coffee mug with a matching coaster in the shape of a paint palette, which is very Janis. She loves coffee.
One by one Cady works her way through the colors of the rainbow, painting little heart-shaped paint splotches on the coaster and colorful drips down the side of the mug. Janis looks a little confused as to what she could be doing with all those colors, but doesn't question it. Cady decides to take a break once she finishes her first layers, watching Janis who is working intently and chattering away at the same time.
"What are you looking at?" Janis asks once she notices her, switching to grab some yellow glaze.
"My beautiful girlfriend," Cady flirts, laughing when Janis flushes with a slightly embarrassed squeak.
"You're not so bad yourself, babe," She manages once she's recovered.
"Thank you, Jay. So what do you think of this place? Be honest," Cady says, grabbing a thin brush and some black glaze to continue decorating the mug.
"It's cute! I'm having fun, we should come back here sometime," Janis answers as she starts sketching some little in-jokes about their relationship on the butterfly's other wing. She's kind of regretting painting it yellow; the colors don't really go together, but yellow is Cady's favorite.
"Good," Cady hums. "But I'm more excited for the next part."
"Where are we going next?" Janis coaxes.
"Nice try. One part of this date is going to be a surprise or so help me," Cady grumbles as she very carefully brushes 'I love you' on the very bottom of the inside of the mug.
"Fine," Janis fake-pouts, moving now to paint the legs and antennae of the butterfly.
-
Once they finish putting the final layers of glaze on, they carefully bring up their beautiful creations (one at a time to maintain the surprise) to the front desk to be fired. Cady would pick them up once they were done in about a week.
Cady makes Janis wait outside the car as she puts in the GPS information to keep the location a surprise, and starts digging through her bag for something as Janis is finally allowed to slide into her seat.
Eventually she finds what she was looking for, brandishing a bandana to be used as a blindfold.
"Kinky," Janis teases as she begrudgingly takes it and ties it around her eyes.
"Get your mind out of the gutter, you loser," Cady huffs, reaching out to tickle Janis to make sure she can't see anything. She apparently can't, because she shrieks with laughter as Cady's hand wiggles over her ribcage before grabbing it to hold, lacing their fingers together.
Cady reaches to turn the radio on to keep Janis entertained, giving her hand a squeeze before unfortunately letting go to drive safely.
——
Cady hops out first once she parks, going around to Janis' side and helping her out before spinning her around and untying the blindfold.
Janis blinks a few times, letting her eyes adjust to the light before letting out an excited gasp at what she sees. They have about half an hour before the sun starts to go down, and they're surrounded by neon lights, loud noises, and delicious smells. It's beautiful.
"The fair?!"
"Yeah! Um, I couldn't come up with anything other than the pottery place and Regina said you liked roller coasters." Cady says, almost nervously.
"I do! This is tits, let's go in, come on!" Janis pecks her cheeks a few times excitedly before grabbing her hand and hurrying towards the gates. Cady realizes distantly that she left her jacket in the car. Oh well. It's May now, and it's a warm evening. She'll probably be fine.
Cady buys their entry wristbands, getting the kind that allow them to go on as many rides as they want. She fumbles with hers for a minute before Janis tenderly takes her hand, fastening the paper bracelet around her wrist and pressing a kiss to her palm.
"Thanks, love. Where do you want to go first?" Cady asks, lacing their fingers together and swinging their arms back and forth.
"Can we ride that?" Janis asks, pointing to the single largest coaster present. Cady's never been on a roller coaster before, but how bad could it be?
"Sure," Cady hums, looking up at the massive metal structure. "Let's go."
Janis makes Cady stand by the height measurement sign as a joke, taking a picture as Cady pouts. "I'm not that small," She huffs.
"Baby, you're barely a foot over the height requirement. You're always gonna be my little Peanut," Janis hums, squishing her in a tight hug as they stand in line.
"I like being Peanut, I guess," Cady sighs jokingly. She actually kind of likes being small, it has its uses. Like for cuddles.
Janis chooses the very front seats, wiggling excitedly as they get harnessed in.
Once they reach the top of the first hill, Cady decides she does not like roller coasters as much as she thought she would. This thought continues as they hurtle around the track, going much faster than Cady appreciates. She thinks they go upside down at one point, but by that time her eyes are so tightly shut that she's not totally sure.
"That was tits!" Janis cheers as they finally come to a blessed stop, helping Cady out of the cart.
"Uhhuh," Cady mumbles, trying to stop her hands shaking. Janis turns to look at her once they're a ways away, surprised to find her much more pale than normal and her clear blue eyes wide and frightened.
"Oh, baby," She hums, pulling Cady into a tight hug. "You didn't like it?" Cady shakes her head frantically and buries her face into Janis' chest. "Shh, it's okay. We won't go on any more. You pick what we do next."
"No, this is your date. You get to pick everything," Cady says, calming in Janis' tight embrace.
"I pick we do something you want. You look miserable," Janis says, pulling her back gently to kiss a few freckles.
"Thanks," Cady says sarcastically. "Can we go check out the game thingies?"
"Sure, angel. I bet I'll win you a stuffed animal first," Janis says, taking her hand and leading them towards the stalls.
Cady winds up winning first, her muscle memory from Africa helping her win the dart toss. She picks a sloth with velcro paws, taking it and wrapping the arms around Janis in a little hug. Janis wins the water shooting one, picking a big alpaca shaped thing with yellow fur. Cady takes it excitedly, squeezing it tightly. It's very squishy and soft.
Cady's recovered enough by that point to go on a few tamer rides, so Janis leads them over to something called the Scrambler. It looks sort of like some kind of sea monster, with multicolored carts that spin around and are also orbiting a central structure. She holds Janis' hand as well as the bar holding them in, still nervous from her encounter with the coaster.
But once they get going, Cady loves it. Feeling the wind hitting her face reminds her of being on the Jeeps in Africa, and the motion makes her stomach flip in a way she enjoys this time. Janis is just watching her as they go around, smiling widely as Cady laughs freely the whole time. Gradually, they come to a stop, Cady cheering "Again! Again!" once they finally come to a complete standstill. Janis obliges, taking her hand to get them back in the short line. The Scrambler is one of her favorites, too.
Janis asks if she'd like to try going on some massive slides, Cady looking up at them curiously. They're about as high up as the roller coasters, but people seem to be moving much more slowly down them, so she agrees to try them at least once. They get in line, Janis grabbing a rug for them to go on together. They start climbing the many, many stairs to the top, both of them puffing slightly by the time they're led over to their slide.
Janis lays their mat down, holding it down for Cady to get on before following after her. She pulls Cady closer to her, pressing her chest against her back and holding her around the waist. Cady holds onto the handles of the mat and the worker gives them a gentle push to get them finally going. Cady giggles the whole way down, which was Janis' goal. They're going so quickly they nearly crash into the wall at the bottom, Cady barely managing to stick her feet out at the last second. The force knocks Janis down flat on her back, Cady following and tipping her head upside down to grin widely at her.
"That was fun!" Cady cheers, standing and holding her hand out to help Janis up.
"Do you want to go again?" Janis asks, knowing the look in her eyes well by this point. Cady nods shyly, Janis just taking her hand and leading them back to the end of the line. She's noticed Cady only seems to have an issue with height and speed at the same time, one or the other is okay.
Once they've gone on everything at least once, they decide to finally get some dinner. As they walk over to the food stalls, Cady tucks her alpaca under one arm and holds out the other to Janis. "Hey, can you hold this for me?"
Janis turns from a few paces ahead, thinking she's talking about the stuffed animal until she looks down. "Your hand?"
"Yeah," Cady nods seriously. Janis takes it with a chuckle.
"You're such a dork, I love you."
"I love you too, but I'm very hungry, let's go," Cady begs, tugging on Janis' hand.
"Okay, okay, slow down," Janis laughs.
Cady really wants to try a funnel cake, so she buys one for them to share while Janis gets a bucket of macaroni and cheese and some fried Oreos.
They feed each other little bites of the mac and cheese, stealing a few kisses every now and again in between. Once that's done, Cady pulls their plate of various fried goodness over and just stares at it. Janis tears off a bit of the funnel cake for her to try, getting her fingers sticky with the powdered sugar.
Cady tries it and her eyes go even wider than they did on the roller coaster. That's delicious. Janis laughs at her reaction, but supposed she should've known. Cady loves sweets.
"That's so good!" Cady squeals, almost shaking as the sugar starts to hit. She immediately tears off another bigger piece.
"It's fried dough and sugar, of course it's good," Janis teases, tearing off a chunk for herself. "Now try one of these."
She hands Cady one of the fried Oreos, Cady taking it and nibbling at it almost nervously. It is also delicious, but almost too sweet for her tastes. She likes the cake better. Janis takes the other one, immediately shoving the whole thing in her mouth.
"Oh, Jesus, I shouldn't have done that," She says once she's swallowed it. "No regrets."
Cady gathers up all the trash once they finish, throwing it in a garbage can nearby before turning to her girlfriend. "You have sugar on your lip, come here."
Janis thinks she's just going to wipe it away, letting out a startled squeak when Cady suddenly pulls her behind a stall, pushing her up against it and kissing her hungrily. Usually Janis is the one initiating this kind of thing, but she's certainly not complaining at Cady taking charge.
They're both panting by the time they break apart, looking more than a little disheveled. Janis had noticed Cady's soft skin was rather cold to the touch, and when they pull back she can see her shivering. "Baby, where's your jacket?" She asks, concerned they lost it somewhere.
"I left it in the car," Cady mutters, leaning into her for warmth. "But if I go get it I won't be able to get back in. I'm fine."
She's clearly not, her teeth are almost chattering. Cady's still not totally used to how cold it can get in Illinois. It's almost totally dark now, and very chilly.
Janis pulls off her jean jacket and wraps it around Cady. She's swimming in it, the oversized fabric practically swallowing her tiny girlfriend. Cady's hands don't even come out the sleeves.
Janis notices Cady's jacket paws moving, she's flapping her hands. That's a stim she only does when she's either very upset or very excited, and judging by the wide, delighted grin splitting her face, it's the latter.
"I love you," Cady suddenly hums, throwing her arms around Janis tightly.
"I love you too, baby. So much," Janis says, squeezing her back and kissing her hair softly. "They're gonna close soon, is there one more thing you want to do before we go?"
"The ferris wheel? I've never been on one," Cady hums, resting her chin on Janis' chest and looking up at her.
Janis really does not like ferris wheels, but she can't resist those big blue eyes blinking up at her. She supposes she can make an exception.
"Fine, but if we get stuck up there you have to cuddle me the whole time, I'm scared of heights," She says, taking her hand and leading them towards the large circle illuminated by colorful lights. It is rather pretty, from the ground anyway.
They get in line just before the cutoff for the night, Cady staring up at the massive structure with wide, curious eyes. Janis is strangely comforted seeing that almost childlike wonder on her face. Cady deserves to experience it at least once, even if she does have to spend it holding Janis the whole time so she doesn't panic.
Janis is further comforted when their cart is purple, which is her favorite color. Unfortunately, any semblance of safe feelings leave the second they start moving, Janis clinging to Cady's arm.
"How did you enjoy that roller coaster and the slides if you're so scared of heights, Jellybean?" Cady asks, holding onto her girlfriend tightly.
"Because the height doesn't last on stuff like that, you're just up there to get going and then it's done," Janis huffs. Cady gets distracted once they hit the very top, gasping excitedly at the view and reaching for her phone to take a picture.
She snaps a few before turning it around to selfie mode, leaning in to cup Janis' cheek with her other hand and kiss her gently as she takes another few photos like that. "Thanks for letting me come up here, Jay. We only have to go around one more time before we can get off."
"It's okay, baby. It's actually really pretty up here. As long as you don't look down," Janis hums, leaning in for one more peck. She breathes a sigh of relief as they approach the ground and gives another sharp exhale as they go up again.
Sure enough, once they reach the tip-top, the ride screeches to a halt, and a voice calls up from the bottom to tell them they're stuck up there indefinitely.
"Ah, fuck," Janis groans. This was exactly what she didn't want to happen.
"Oh no," Cady says, concerned for Janis. "Um... we could play a game? To pass the time?"
That doesn't sound terrible, but they don't have anything to play a game with up here.
"Like what?" Janis asks, trying to keep the tremble from her voice. Focus on Cady.
"Um... we could go back and forth and say something about ourselves that the other one doesn't know yet?" Cady hums anxiously, holding Janis tightly.
That doesn't exactly sound like a game, but it would work well enough to keep Janis' mind off the fact that she's dangling thirty-odd feet in the air in a heavy cart.
"You go first," Janis says, tucking her face into Cady's neck.
"Okay," Cady chuckles, kissing her head and running her fingers through Janis' hair gently. "Um... Od uoy wonk I nac klat sdrawkcab?"
"What the fuck?" Janis says, pulling back to look at Cady's smug grin.
"I can talk backwards. Any word," Cady says.
"Wh- How do you do that?" Janis asks in awe.
"I dunno. When I was learning how to read I taught myself to do it backwards too. Don't ask, I was an odd kid. I just picture the word in my head and then flip it around," Cady answers.
"Prove it," Janis challenges. "Say... um... what's my name backwards?"
"Sinaj," Cady says immediately.
"I love you."
"I evol uoy."
"Peanut butter."
"Tunaep rettub."
"That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard, that's so cool," Janis squeals.
"Thanks," Cady giggles. "Your turn."
"Oh boy, um... did you know about these?" Janis asks, pulling her two half-heart necklaces from where they're tucked inside her shirt.
"I've seen them but I've never read what they say," Cady says, taking them gingerly to read the charms. One says 'big sis' and the other has been painted to say half of what she can only assume is 'best fucking bitches'. "Who has the other pieces? Julie?"
"No, Damian," Janis answers, which makes Cady burst out laughing.
"That's so cute," She says breathlessly once she's calmed down. "My turn then, um. Do you know how I got my name? Or the spelling of it, anyway.
Janis shakes her head. She loves her Cady with a C and a D and a Y, but it is a little strange.
"This is just what my mom told me so it could be a joke, she likes to mess with me a lot. But she got to name my brother so she let my dad name me, and he was in a band when she was pregnant with me. He wanted to give me a sort of musical name like Harmony or something, so he picked Cadence and my mom said yes as long as it could be Cady on my birth certificate. She thought he'd regret it eventually and wanted me to have a more 'normal' nickname," She says.
Janis tries to imagine Mr. Heron, the dorkiest, kindest, shyest man she knows in a band. Does not compute. "That... kind of makes sense, actually, other than your dad being in a band. Did they ever call you Cadence?"
"Actually, yeah, when I was really little my dad always called me that. And when I got in trouble back in Kenya that's what they called me," Cady says, looking as if the secret to the universe has been revealed to her. The story must be true, then.
"That's wild as hell, Chip Heron in a band," Janis says, also looking a little shell-shocked. They'd have to ask him about it later. "My turn. Did you know Gretchen comes to the gym with me sometimes?"
"No, really? That's so sweet," Cady coos.
"Yeah, she asked me a while ago if she could come with me every once in a while to help her anxiety and stuff. She does more cardio and things like that than I do, but we spot each other when we need to and I started going to a yoga thing she does. It's kind of nice to have a workout buddy."
"Aww," Cady says. "I'm glad you guys are becoming friends again."
"Honestly, I am too. Gretchen really isn't so bad. She gushes about Karen all the time too, so I like getting to hear all the juicy stuff about them," Janis chuckles. "Your turn, Peanut."
"I can't think of anything," Cady whines after thinking for a second. "You think of something you want to know about me."
"Okay, I can do that," Janis hums pensively. "Were you born in Kenya?" She asks after a while. Cady's never mentioned anything before her life in Africa.
"No, we didn't move there until I was three, I was born in Oregon. We've always followed my parents' work," Cady answers. "My parents always said it was very exciting having a toddler who wouldn't talk to anyone running around the tents."
"You must've been so cute," Janis says, wondering if she can con Cady into showing her some baby photos.
"I was," Cady answers as Janis makes the mistake of peeking over the edge, snapping back over with wide, terrified eyes. "Oh, darling, why would you look down? Come here."
Janis thinks she's about to pull her into another hug, surprised when Cady pulls her mouth to hers and kisses her softly. Desperate to forget that they're stuck very high in the air, Janis kisses her back eagerly, her girlfriend responding in kind. Janis has always wanted to make out with someone on a ferris wheel.
One of Cady's hands cradles Janis' jaw, thumb stroking comfortingly over her cheek, and her other arm is wrapped securely around Janis' waist to hold her close and safe. Janis flicks her tongue at the seam of Cady's lips, tangling a hand in her auburn curls as she does. Cady lets her in, nipping softly at her bottom lip to tease. Janis would very much like to continue this when they're on the ground.
She's so lost in her girlfriend she almost managed to forget they were still stuck, until there's a deafening clank and a terrifying sort of metallic grinding sound. She pulls back with a startled squeak as they start moving, lipstick noticeably smeared as she buries her face in her girlfriends shoulder. At least they're almost out.
There's a sort of off-brand Snoopy down by the exit, Janis sinking into a hug with him and just repeating, "Snoopy it was so bad. We were stuck up there, Snoopy." For a while until Cady drags her away. Snoopy waves at them almost sadly as he watches them go.
——-
Once they're in the car on the way back to Cady's house, Janis realizes that Cady told her one more fact than Janis told her. She knows Cady likes things to be even, so she decides to level it out.
"Hey, we stopped the game before we told the same number, do you want to hear one more from me?"
"I always want to know more about you, Jayjay," Cady answers, focusing on the road.
"Okay, have you seen this?" Janis asks once they're at a stoplight, shuffling her left sleeve down to reveal her small semicolon tattoo on her wrist.
"No," Cady says, tracing the little picture tenderly with her finger. "What does it mean?"
Janis rolls her sleeve down further to reveal the faded scars lining her arm, wincing a little at Cady's sad gasp. Janis thought she at least knew about those, but she doesn't wear short sleeves very often and the scars are very faded.
"I started self-harming after everything happened with Regina in middle school. Damian didn't tell you, but I was actually pulled out for the rest of that year because I was recovering in the hospital from a suicide attempt. I tried to overdose on one of my mom's prescriptions," Janis explains.
"Oh god, Janis," Cady says sadly, gently running her finger over her arm before she has to start driving again.
"I got my stomach pumped in the hospital and my wrists stitched up, so my mom found out I had been cutting and I had to go to an inpatient therapy place. That's how I started art therapy, actually. But once I got out my mom let me pick something cool to do to celebrate, and for some reason she let me get a tattoo even though I was fourteen. She has one that matches."
"That's so sweet," Cady says, heart still hurting for her girlfriend. She came so close to losing Janis before she ever even found her. "Why a semicolon, though?"
"Because I was an English nerd," Janis answers with a sardonic chuckle. "Semicolons and periods are usually interchangeable, an author uses one when they could have ended a sentence but chose not to. I decided I was the author of me, and I wasn't ready to end my sentence yet. It helps to look at it when I'm having a rough time."
"That's beautiful, Janis. Do you, um, still...?" Cady asks quietly.
"No, no," Janis rushes out. "Damian and my sister both made me promise to stop. I've come close a couple times, but I've been clean since the end of sophomore year. I haven't even thought about it in almost a year."
"Good," Cady breathes with relief. "I'm really glad you're still here, Jay. I love you so much."
"I'm glad I'm here too. I think a lot about what I would've missed if... if it had worked, and I'm always so glad it didn't. I love you too, Caddy," Janis says, trying not to cry. Too many emotions for one night.
They spend the rest of the drive home in comfortable silence, Janis playing with Cady's fingers contently once Cady gives her her hand as they get into slower streets of the neighborhood.
Cady goes to greet her parents and hug them goodnight once they enter, Janis heading up to Cady's room to get changed into her pjs. She's glad their parents all trust them enough to let them continue to sleep in the same bed at sleepovers, probably because they only get up to anything raunchy when they're sure nobody's around. She would miss the snuggles if they were separated.
Cady changes into her Lion King pajama set, putting Janis' jacket back on over top and crawling into bed after her with her new alpaca. She switches on the nightlight Janis had gotten her for Christmas, looking up at the colorful swirly patterns it paints on the ceiling.
"You gonna sleep in my jacket?" Janis asks, resting her head on Cady's chest gently.
"Mmhmm! It's comfy. Soft. And it smells like you," Cady hums, pulling her closer.
"What do I smell like?" Janis asks, a little worried.
"Vanilla and paint, but your hair smells like apples," Cady answers drowsily, stroking her fingers through Janis' hair. "Mostly you just smell like home. I know I'm safe whenever I can smell you."
Well that's just about the sweetest thing Janis has ever heard. "You're so precious, you know that?" She asks, tilting her head up to kiss at the underside of Cady's jaw.
"So you tell me," Cady jokes weakly, followed by a yawn. "It's your turn to be little spoon, I'm sleepy."
Janis is frankly amazed that Cady made it this late, it's nearly midnight. She leans up to kiss her goodnight before she turns to face the wall, cuddling with her own new sloth stuffie and feeling her small girlfriend press up against her, squishing her cheek against her back and wrapping an arm tightly around her waist to pull her closer.
"G'night, Jay. I love you," Cady yawns.
"Goodnight, Caddy. I love you too," Janis answers, grinning to herself.
A perfect date with my perfect girl, she thinks as they slowly drift off to sleep, dreaming of each other.

hi, been a while.name is still lily last i checked! so life has been kicking my ass and most importantly my focus to review my favorite animanga. ed is my favorite animanga character and i’m happy to see people still hangin’ around and also new faces. that said, for months i’ve been dealing with some health issues, writer’s block, and the inability to focus on note-taking and reading f.ma the way i want to because edward is to so many of us, and me too, really important and i don’t want to half-ass him -- i want to scour every nook and cranny so i’ve been on a long hiatus.
but not anymore. while i do have other places i write, i think i’m ready to start doing some stuff or at the least, write shit ton of notes like i always do. i even put up a theme even if my pinned post does the trick. rules are updated. decided i’m pretty lax on mains and i dunno, probably worth a read. doesn’t mean i don’t take them, but for all f.ma blogs who follow me i plan to interact with.
so my goals are to basically tackle my reading and go through it at my own pace. i will be slow still, but i’ll be here updating with analysis posts and feel free to send asks in. seriously nothing beats unprompted asks / memes. basically i’m a really chill gremlin unlike fullmetal goblin here.
so yeah! thanks for bein’ here and for those that stuck around or didn’t, hope you’re doing okay! i’m excited that i actually have a brain now to actually focus. if you can’t find me here i linked my other blogs and main in the pinned post. it always helps if people like if they read btw! so! there ya go. have a good weekend and time to get crackin’!
#𝐎𝐎𝐂 * ── revving at full throttle!#i haven't even finished all my tags oops#WHOOPSIE#we're getting there folks#𝐏𝐒𝐀 * ── a lesson without pain is meaningless.

Hello!! ive been going through your blog (dw im over 18 btw) and i am in L O V E!!!!! i just wanted to ask if do you also do poly-relationship head cannons or smut, for example character x character x male reader? i just wanna make sure if youre comfy with it <3 ly
Thank you thank you! And thanks for letting me know you’re 18+, always super appreciated :3
As for your question, I actually really love poly ships lol, I almost, ALMOST prefer them to strictly traditionally monogynous ships if we’re being honest. More people to love and all- of course they also always come with their own set of rules, different types of angst and dynamics etc, which I also really love exploring.
I have an old AizawaxHizashixReader thing I Drabbled about that people still interact with, and I’m always patiently waiting for someone to request an actual story of them lol, I’m like chomping at the bit for it tbh
But yes! Poly relationships, sweet and fluffy, or extra horny and smutty, you’re more than welcome to send in prompts for! I prefer prompts over Headcanons if we’re being honest, which I know sort of limits what you get in return, as Headcanons can cover a wide range of ideas and topics- but feel free to spam request your poly desires in my ask box! I really don’t mind, and I’d love to see some variety in there honestly
I do plan on closing my ask box temporarily after this coming weekend, just so I can comfortably catch up on requests, and not worry too much about new stuff coming in as I’m planning out request fills and such. So if you do wanna request some things, I’d say send them in before this coming Monday, just so I can be sure to get to them within the next few weeks! If you’d be so kind 💖💖
Anyone else wanting to submit a request, also do so before the end of this coming weekend please! As requests will be closed for a few weeks as I catch up on what all is in my inbox.
Thanks again nonnie, and I hope to hear from ya in the inbox :3 have a great day!

JAPAN
WHERE: Shiki's Sushi Babylon, New York *has since closed*
My first experience with Japanese food was when an old friend of mine took me to Shiki Japanese Restaurant in Babylon, Long Island way back around the early 2000s. She loved sushi but back then sushi was not yet a mainstream thing, so I had never had it before. When she took me there, she asked if I knew how to use chopsticks. I had to confess that I did not. So she told me that they didn't have any forks at this restaurant so it was either use the chopsticks or I wasn't going to be able to eat my lunch.
It took me a good hour of looking like a complete fool, trial by hunger and dropping the pieces over and over again before I finally was able to eat anything. By the end of the meal, I was able to use chopsticks at least a little-- enough to finish my lunch at least. Hunger can be such a motivating teacher!
She smiled as we were leaving and told me, "actually, I lied, they do have forks, but I didn't want you to look like an amateur."
My mouth fell open, dropping right down like one of the pieces of sushi that had fallen to my plate dozens of times.
I forgave her for this after sushi became one of my favorite meals though. And she paid me back for her prank by teaching me the difference between sashimi (raw fish/meat and vegetables), sushi (fish, seaweed, vegetables and rice), nigiri (raw fish, seaweed, veggies and rice) and maki (fish, seaweed and rice). And I was able to pick up a new skill that day, which was fun to show off. I can still remember my grandfather watching me with chopsticks and Chinese food (switching ethnic cuisines a bit here), and he laughed and said, "You don't know how to use those. Just grab a fork." and I smiled at him, winked and used my chopsticks just like my friend had shown me. Life is pretty cool when you've got skills you can show off like that when people are laughing at you.
My favorites types of sushi have always been the cooked versions. Firstly because the sushi episode on The Simpsons still scares me and I don't trust any chef to give me the right part of the blowfish, heh. Secondly, because once I actually tasted raw sushi many years later, I found it far too slimy for me to enjoy. And thirdly, the crunchies and the tempura are the best parts!
AND ALSO...
WHERE: Jimmy's Sushi (600 Portion Rd, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779)
Sushi started to pick up steam in the mainstream throughout the early 2000s and eventually more places were offering it. One of my favorite sushi places to go to on Long Island eventually became Jimmy's Sushi. I LOVE this place! I even had sushi at the fancy Japanese restaurant in EPCOT years later, Teppan Edo, but no one does sushi like Jimmy's. They were a favorite amongst my college friends and I have so many memories of groups of us going there, popping open the edamame appetizers, and talking about random stuff while devouring mango topped tempura shrimp and other delicacies.
Jimmy's Sushi was also where my then-fiancé took me and his family when they visited up from Florida, wherein his little nephew looked over his little marinated octopi and lamented, "why do baby octopuses have to be so delicious?" And then proceeded to gobble every last one on his plate like a madman. It became a running joke for us back then.
AND ALSO...
WHERE: Kit Kats sent from Japan
When I moved to Virginia, my Japanese food eating days were far from over. A friend of mine went to vacation in Japan and asked if he could send me some souvenirs. I'm not one to turn down free gifts, so I replied, "please do!"
He proceeded to send me a huge box of an assortment of Japanese Kit Kat bars.
The Kit Kats for today only had Japanese writing on them with no picture and I had to search for a translator online to help. Found out that they were green tea. They were... very strange. I think if I knew what flavor I was eating it would have made more sense to my taste buds. According to Wikipedia, "Marketing for Kit Kats in Japan is believed to have benefited from the coincidental false cognate with "Kitto Katsu", a phrase meaning "You will surely win" in Japanese. Some market research has shown that the brand is strongly correlated to good luck charms, particularly among students ahead of exams." And back then, having just come out of my relationship with my fiancé and living in a completely foreign new state with no job yet, I could use all the luck anyone would send me! Why are my friends so good to me?
I taste tested all of them as I devoured every single one (partially due to the fact that I didn't have a lot of food around that time to begin with). My findings were that peanut butter Kit Kats are pretty good (not as good as Reese's which I love, but Reese's is like professional at that kind of peanut butter/chocolate combination). And strawberry was my favorite at first, until the cherry cheesecake flavored ones beat those by a nose.
AND ALSO...
WHERE: King's Sushi (9125 W Broad St & 9111 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, VA)
Once I was successfully living in Richmond, I found my new sushi joint which really has been the only place to ever tie with Jimmy's Sushi. It's called King Sushi, and as far as Virginia goes, it is the absolute best Sushi joint down here! It's part buffet but also table service-- you pay one price and then just keep pointing at the menu, ordering things until your stomach feels like it might explode with food... but like in a happy way, you know? heh. I'll never get tired of this place. It filled my heart with the power of sushi when I could no longer go to Jimmy's, so it definitely gets a nod.
AND ALSO...
WHERE: Random Pocky snacks and Universal Yum Yums Subscription Box
I have also had my fair share of Pocky chocolate-coated biscuit sticks just being around a lot of people who are into anime at geek conventions and such.
Universal Yum Yums has also been a great place for me to get some Japanese snacks. In May 2017, they send a box of kawaii snacks and treats, my favorite being the little baby gummy hamburgers that made me feel like I was a giant Godzilla here to eat all the human food in one bite. Rawr!! Always fun to chow down on some Japanese treats when playing Sushi Go (such an adorable game, btw!).
AND ALSO...
WHERE: EPCOT Festival of The Arts 2020
Also want to just point out the frozen sake they have in Epcot. Sake might have been first produced in 500 BC with its invention predating recorded history, but freezing the traditional rice wine is a new style of eating it straight out of Florida. A little of the new world and old world, creating something so very tasty. I think all alcohol drink should be slushies! I would drink so many more of them that way. I ran away that weekend, heading out of town because I was annoyed and needed to go someplace other than home for a while and I just somehow ended up at Disney that Valentine's Day.
In my own drunken social media words, "I'm drunk in Japan in EPCOT drinking frozen sake. There are some manic episodes I regret, but this is not one of them."

*gasp* a replies post! A long replies post! A long replies post where I overshare again! *o* Yeah I kinda missed doing these. I’m now at home, but won’t be for much longer. First, I’m going to meet some of my new classmates on Friday and I’ll spend the whole weekend with them! We’re going somewhere...well I don’t even know where that is, just that it’s in nature and I’ve never been there before! Thank gods we’re meeting at the main station in Prague, or else I wouldn’t get there myself. Then on Moday, I have to go to my uni, and then once more on Wednesday I think? And on Wednesday, I’ll have to wake up at 4 am. my LiFe Is SoOoOOOoO HaRd oH mY gOd. No, I’ll be fine.
And a month from now, I’ll be moving to my dorm. That’s some crazy stuff. I can’t believe it’s happening. Last week, my dad actually took me to Prague and we went to see where it is. The location reminds me a lot of my home, but I won’t tell you what exactly that is because no one needs to know that. Anyway, school starts in October. I’m actually looking forward to studying, but the “living alone in a big city with people I’ve never seen before” part is scary. D: I’ll give you updates.
Anyway, today was a weird day. First, I sat alone by the lake when these two guys came and talked to me (I didn’t mind that actually, they were kinda nice), then when I got up and said I had to go home, one of them complimented my legs...which would’ve been really nice but then he basically implied he’d go to bed with me...and like literally five minutes ago he said he had a girlfriend...basically men are scary. Then later, mum and I went grocery shopping and I saw my middle school crush with his girlfriend...and decided that his girlfriend is cute, way cuter than him actually...bisexual culture I guess, crushing on your middle school crush’s girlfriend lmao. Then we went to pay for our groceries and the cashier...was my childhood friend who also happened to be my first crush and also my last crush and these days I’m wondering if I’m really crushing on him or if I’m just holding onto him because I don’t know any better. Long story but if you ever feel like I have a thing for childhood friends to lovers trope, maybe blame him.
Wow. Oversharing much? Let’s get to those replies then, before I tell you what colour my underwear is or something.
Also!! Stream Lover. You won’t regret it.

I feel like that’s one of those little things half of the community misses. ;-;

She’s broken like this really often and it scares me :D

Just you wait

Well I can`t say this is surprisingXD
Yeah...do most people go for purple? At least most bpr people I follow/followed went for this colour :D I also wanted to do this thing where the founder chooses the pink person, but the heir is purple. Idk why, I just wanted it to be like that haha
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photoset “Uhh oh hi again. You guys are seeing this right after the last post,...”
Jeez, Vanessa looks like that liquid Terminaor from Terninator 2.Funnily enough he was posing as a police officerXD
Lol I have no idea what you’re talking about because I’m bad at watching iconic movies (read as: I haven’t watched any of the movies that people think everyone has watched :’D) but I’ll believe you lmao

Awe I'm glad you didn't delete without telling anyone. You would have been missed. But you're not the only one who thinks about doing that though.
I love seeing you on my dash ❤️
1o8percent replied to your post “The power of what sharing a worry with someone can do amazes me, as a...”
I’m glad that sharing your worries was able to help you. Simblr can be overwhelming and well life in general can be too. It’s nice to have someone to let it out to. I’m glad you’re still around!
♥♥♥
Thank you guys so much. This happens to me from time to time, but it’s never been this bad.
desira-sims replied to your post “Random thoughts and ideas: NSB, BC and my hair (again)”
I’m slowly working through the sentence starters too. I didn’t realize quite how difficult some of them would be. Lol
Same! I might incorporate one of them into my yellow gen because it would fit there perfectly. God I’m really going to milk this one awful awful event for angst huh. That will be frowned upon. As for the other...I have an idea for it but it doesn’t fit the og Raleb timeline at all (it was for them) and I want it to be canon...like I kinda just don’t want to call it an AU, but I guess I’ll have to.
aiseinei replied to your photoset “Eden: “Ughhh oh my god my life is soooo hard!”
I would be too if I was stuck staring pink in the mirror for the rest of my life �� no very cute!
Oof same haha. One of the reasons why I was hesitant about starting BPR was the pink :D
And then I went and made my founder marry a pink sim and have four pink children with her, because that makes sense. I love making myself suffer, yay!
Thank you, btw!
medleymisty replied to your post “I'm not saying I want to re-read my entire NSB but...I kinda do. Will...”
*hugs* We're our own worst critics. I used to cringe at my old stuff too, but really it was decent. I might have learned more since then, but it was still good. I'm glad you can see the good in yours. :)
I’m definitely not as hard at my younger self anymore. I went and read some of my stories written when I was 13-14, and I tried to look at it that way. They weren’t perfect, but maybe they were good for a child of that age. I mean, I always got good grades on my writing homework, and my teachers have always liked how I worked with words, so...yeah, it’s not perfect, but I’m not going to have perfectly fleshed out characters and storylines when I have barely even understood that the world isn’t just black and white, good and evil. There are shades inbetween.
That got deep again but I have a lot of feelings about this and I’m sorry to my younger writer self for how I’ve treated her. Keep going, kid.
xiapxls replied to your post “Well, of course my bad wifi had to ruin everything. I guess I will go...”
Me! Whenever I come across a new blog I'm interested in I always read everything before I hit follow
whysimstho replied to your post “Well, of course my bad wifi had to ruin everything. I guess I will go...”
It was how I found your blog actually!
yamekamerainbows27 replied to your post “Well, of course my bad wifi had to ruin everything. I guess I will go...”
I have! ✋✋
elisabettasims replied to your post “Well, of course my bad wifi had to ruin everything. I guess I will go...”
I feel like I read over 90% of it?
dandylion240 replied to your post “Well, of course my bad wifi had to ruin everything. I guess I will go...”
Me. Was in love with Ross since he was born in game. He was such a lil cutie!!
desira-sims replied to your post “Well, of course my bad wifi had to ruin everything. I guess I will go...”
Me! Came across a Ross and Caleb post and went back to the beginning to read it all.
1o8percent replied to your post “Well, of course my bad wifi had to ruin everything. I guess I will go...”
I have ��
Wooow there’s a lot of you. And you stuck with me through the bad and the worse, through all the dumb ideas I got...thank you. Seriously, thank you. There’s more in store, I promise.
You’ll want to punch me in the face eventually, I’m just saying.
Speaking of punching someone in the face, yesterday I was waiting for my hair to dry and I thought hmm, let’s go read gen 2 of my NSB. And...I knew Ross was an idiot when he was young, but I forgot he was that bad. I’m glad none of us accepted it and we only collectively forgave him when he got his crap together. Yay. Also yay we didn’t cancel him because cancel culture is disgusting, people can learn from their mistakes.
I’m going off topic again. That happens when I’m in a good mood.
elisabettasims replied to your post “Let's play a game, "how many more curly maxis match hair can I...”
It's true, there is never enough.
dandylion240 replied to your post “Let's play a game, "how many more curly maxis match hair can I...”
There is never enough
Glad we’re on the same page haha
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your post “��”
Yes, tumblr finally stopped bullying me and send my ask!
Yay tumblr, it got its crap together for once!
No, jokes aside, if you ever send me an ask and I don’t respond, feel free to send it again. I think I got better at answering my asks fast, so you can definitely tell by that. Also, if I answer everyone else’s and not yours...that’s also a sign because I hardly ever keep asks private (unless I’ve been asked to do so, then I’ll always respect your wish!)
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photo “I have to catch a bus in like ten minutes but here’s what I’ve been...”
This hairstyle suits Ross!
It kinda really does?? It was also the closest I could get to his ts4 one haha.
toxoplasmajuice replied to your photoset “Contestant number seven has arrived! Talia: “Is everything alright?...”
god yeah as an experienced bc player i feel that, introductions take SO long and get SO annoying
I had an “ok I’m never doing this again” moment with literally every contestant because 1) it was taking forever and 2) making ten different and yet still entertaining dialogues was hard
And I write a lot so you’d say that would be easy for me, but nope :’D
doka-chan replied to your post “I don't know how many of you are interested in my book...”
Book recommendations are always a plus. Thank you ! :)
I like them too! Not only because, well, I get a book recommendation, but also because I’m always curious about what people read haha.
vintageplumbobs replied to your post “Just queued episode 2 of the BC and one of the posts got flagged…wanna...”
Not all of us have time for breakfast! I can’t be looking at that in the staff kitchen! People will riot! ����
Oh that’s right, forgive me tumblr, I have sinned
desira-sims replied to your post “But I’ve never told you that before.” Caleb and Ross, please? ��”
That is the sweetest thing ever. ������
dandylion240 replied to your post “But I’ve never told you that before.” Caleb and Ross, please? ��”
I love it ❤️
Thank you guys ;-; ♥ I loved writing this so much. It gave me that nice warm feeling inside, you know what I mean? They make me so happy! ;-;
wcif a vampire best friend that would eventually end up marrying me?
dandylion240 replied to your post “Just queued episode 2 of the BC and one of the posts got flagged…wanna...”
Every single post of Emerson bc was flagged and they weren’t nsfw either mostly
Yeah, this is so weird...I know people say it happens when the picture has a lot of “skintone” coloured pixels...but that’s not always the case with my flagged posts??
Also (I’ll never shut up about this)...why is there a female-presenting nipples rule when it clearly can’t ever tell female and male nipples apart? I’m just saying. And yes I get it, for AI it sure has to be difficult to tell such things apart but in my opinion that’s exactly why they should get rid of it and only incorporate it when it can tell it apart. Actually, hold on, nope. The nipple rule is stupid no matter what gender the nipple is.
And I’ve just used the word nipple more times than ever before in my nineteen-something years long life.
desira-sims replied to your photoset “Some more pictures of Aretha ♥”
She's so pretty
Thank you! ♥ I’m happy with how she turned out.
vintageplumbobs replied to your photoset “I did not forget about those townie makeovers! @epicvictoria suggested...”
That style really suits her. But then...maybe I’m biased...
I think it suits her way better than her original outfits too, but same, I might be biased...vintage/retro aesthetic is my jam.
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photoset “How to tell which characters are my favourite? Well, they probably...”
Looking good!
omiscanking replied to your photoset “How to tell which characters are my favourite? Well, they probably...”
I'm scrEAMINGGGG
Haha thank you! I hope it’s a good kind of screaming :D
toxoplasmajuice replied to your post “Thoughts?”
screenshots are cool and all but i say if you wanna rely more on text then go for it! especially if you've figured out that taking all those screenshots is an obstacle for you - do what works best for you, you know?
doka-chan replied to your post “Thoughts?”
For me a story is up to its writer. I don't mind only one picture with a huge text, or the contrary a lot of picture with little to no text. As long as we got attached to the characters, it's not important, as long as it's progressing and understandable.
dandylion240 replied to your post “Thoughts?”
I don’t mind reading a lot of text. Pics are always second to the story to me.
desira-sims replied to your post “Thoughts?”
I sort of think there should be a balance. No, not everything needs to be shown as a ss, but it should be more than one photo for a wall of text.
Thank you for your feedback! I think it would be no more than one Word page of text. Which is a lot still but I think that’s the maximum I’d go for. And I mean, I’d show all the important moments. It’s just, I guess I don’t need ten different pictures of the same conversation when these people are just standing next to each other. And it doesn’t need to be split into ten different posts either.
I’ll figure it out, don’t worry.
deathflowertea replied to your photoset “the softest bean �� alternate, boring caption: So I finally decided to...”
TS4 looks good on her! ��
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photoset “the softest bean �� alternate, boring caption: So I finally decided to...”
Cute!
alfalfalegacy replied to your photoset “the softest bean �� alternate, boring caption: So I finally decided to...”
I love her!!
Thank you guys! I really like how she turned out too.
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your post “I'm thinking of starting something like "random facts about..." tags...”
I do love when people talk about their characters and stories! It makes OCs more real and all the small details are just adorable!
Me too. I want to know all the details. Tell me how you came up with this or that. Tell me what inspired you to do this. Tell me which song you associate with them. Tell me little things like what shower gel they’re using. I JUST LOVE OCS OKAY
toxoplasmajuice replied to your photo “Nicky: “This is a tragedy. Can I burn my picture before anyone sees...”
me whenever i finish a drawing
big relatable mood
create-a-sim replied to your post “list 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box for...”
I love good lyrics as well ;)
I’ve recently found a lot of appreciation for lyrics that seem simple, but then you get into them or read some behind the scenes facts and realize they’re not as simple as they might seem. Then I feel like the person who wrote it is a genius.
ineptbubbles replied to your photoset “Could I ever get bored of her? Nope. Could I ever get bored of making...”
Omgosh I love that shirt!!
Me toooo and I need one irl ;-; But I mean, I’ve told my sister so many times this week, maybe when my birthday comes around in December, she’ll remember and she’ll tell my parents I want it? :D I mean I could just ask them for that myself but I just know I’d be embarrassed for some reason.
mlpsimmer replied to your photoset “Roxanne: “Dad, what are you doing here?! You told me you were supposed...”
Your sims are gorgeous!
Thank you so muuuuch! ♥
desira-sims replied to your post “Fluff sentence starter 16. “Do you think the moon is jealous of how...”
These two. �� My heart. I just love them.
dandylion240 replied to your post “Fluff sentence starter 16. “Do you think the moon is jealous of how...”
I love this thank you ❤️
Same. They borrowed my heart, said they’d give it back and then ran away with it and I never saw it again. smh guys, stealing isn’t nice
And no, thank YOU for making me write this ♥
mlpsimmer replied to your post “Tumblr……..your protect-kids-from-seeing-nipples algorithm still isn’t...”
It happened to one of my drafts, which was never published. They were fully dressed, too! It's a little annoying.
Yeah, I just talked about this above in a reply to an older comment. It’s...ugh tumblr, what is u doing

Fighting with the Free! Boys [pt.2]
Requested by anon: hi i really love your works and it's my first time sending request omg.. i didn't watch the s3 yet btw my request is free! boys any angsty stuff but ends with fluff like him being ignored by s/o or vice versa, arguments, jealousy, calling clingy and etc. it depends on you love yaaa 🐬
*I'VE HAD TO POST THESE SEPARATELY BECAUSE I MADE SOME TOO LONG I'M SORRY!*
Here's part 2 :)
[pt.1]
Masterlist
Makoto:
Ah what a dude
okay I feel like in a relationship the only fights you'd get in with Mako would be small arguments but they wouldn't ever get to go too far you know?
Only if you were both feeling stubborn that day
“Mako you're being ridiculous, just come over.”
Okay so it was late and you and Makoto had both been busy, he was done with work for the weekend and your apartment was on his way home and you were trying to convince him to come see you over the phone.
But he wouldn't and this isn't the first time
And I'll tell ya why bb
Because your apartment was owned by a really old and very sweet lady who died and now it's very haunted and Makoto doesn't fuck with that
You were okay with it since all she ever did was tidy things up while you were away and boil the kettle constantly, she meant no harm and to be honest it kinda felt like you were living with a grandma
which you kinda were
You called her grandma after figuring out she didn't have any grandkids before she died but you heard from the landlord that she always looked after the kids of the apartment block and they called her grandma and she found it very endearing
Now grandma is very fond of Makoto
If she could she'd be pinching at his cheeks
And again, he doesn't fuck with ghosts, sweet old lady or not
”(Y/n), I'm not staying over. It's scary!”
“Babe, I'll be there nothing will happen to you, I haven't gotten to spend any time with you in forever just please come over…”
You're emotional, he's a big baby, it's a mess
”What if I come to get you and you can come home with me? Heh…”
He's trying to bargain
”That's too much traveling for you to do. It's late.”
You're not having it
”I don't mind.”
And now you feel bad for asking in the first place but you're also mad that he'd rather change trains twice instead of just trusting you to protect him against a sweet old lady ghost?
”You know what Makoto it's fine. Don't worry about it. I'll see you on Monday.”
And then you hung up
yeesh
And Makoto's like “awh fuck.”
He really doesn't like fighting with you
at all
And he knows that you'd never let anything happen to him it just creeps him out that there's a ghost lurking in your apartment
He feels really bad so he makes a resolve
He wants to see you really bad and the worst a ghost can do is get him possessed and kill him…
Does he love you enough for that shit
THE ANSWER IS YES HE DOES
So you're moping around in your “scary” apartment making yourself food when you hear a knock on your door
You opened it to reveal your boyfriend
”Can um can I still stay?”
He had to just get it out before he chickened out
”You want to?”
He nods determinedly
you saw right through him but you knew it probably took a lot for him to come over so you let him in
He was really jumpy the entire time and the constant and sudden turning on of the kettle was putting him on edge
Especially since he was helping you clean up in the kitchen and that's where the kettle is
so you stop being stubborn and give in to your big baby
you put down the tea towel you were using to dry the dishes and move over to Makoto and slowly wrap your arms around his waist so you don't frighten him
”sorry for snapping at you.”
You kissed his shoulder and he calmed down a little
”don't be sorry. I was being ridiculous.” He replied and leaned down and kissed your head
”If you want I'll go pack a bag and we can head to your place?”
Makoto was like “I love you thank fuck”
He made the change of venue worth it don't worry.

Pregnancy - Antoine Griezmann
Based on this request:
Could you write an imagine where the reader is pregnant and goes support Antoine in one of his games please? Thanks!!
Thanks for sending this in, I think this turned out adorable, hope you enjoy it as much as I do xxx
(Pls leave some feedback btw, always love reading what you think of the stuff I post)
---
I make my way through the crowd in front of the Wanda Metropolitano in order to get in. My back hurts but I wouldn’t miss this for the world. It was not a very special game, just the usual La Liga match on a Friday evening.
But I’ve not missed any home match since the day Antoine and I got together, I always made it work (even though sometimes I could only make it to the second half) and I wouldn’t break this ritual simply because I am now carrying an 8 months old baby. I make it into the stadium and walk towards my usual seat right next to the tunnel and upon Atleti’s bench.
I smile down at the pitch where the boys are already warming up. I love their new warm up shirts, couldn’t deny that the colour suited my boyfriend. Antoine has insisted I should stay home all week long as I had complained about my back aching but I had quickly made sure he knew I’d attend the match anyway. That’s why he now looks up to search for me in the crowd. As I catch his eye he waves at me and runs over to the seats.
“Hey babe, how are you feeling?” he asks, leaning against the fence separating the stands from the pitch. I lean forward to press a quick kiss to his lips. “Stop worrying about me, I’m fine” I smile but he furrows his eyebrows as he speaks with concern in his eyes. “Are you sure?” I nod and caress his cheek. “You should focus on the match, not on me.”
He shrugs. “I’ll have you and the little one on my mind all evening” he places his lips on my tummy. “Antoine, please, I’m fine, you need to go now” I giggle and motion to his team mates who are one after the other making their way back inside through the tunnel.
“Alright” he sighs. “But promise me you’ll take care of the two of you.” I smile at him sympathetically. “Of course I am. Now go!” He finally runs off to join his team and I let myself fall back down on my seat. I look around the stadium, watching how it slowly fills until soon enough every single seat is taken.
Eventually the players come back, now in their official jerseys and I place my hands on my tummy as I lean down. “That’s your daddy right there” I whisper, truly believing that talking with my baby through the bump is actually working. Only a couple seconds later I sense some kicks and I can’t help but laugh at the coincidence.
“So you’re also excited for your dad to kick it off? He better shot a goal right?” I giggle, nevertheless hoping the people around me are too focused on the match about to begin than to realize I am talking to my bump. At first it was always Antoine doing that, he would lean down to whisper something against my tummy, wishing our baby a good night’s sleep or a good morning.
Lately he’s been trying to tell him not to put me through so much pain which I find adorable. Eventually I had started talking to my bump too, it was nice having someone to talk to all the time. When I was shopping I’d ask which flavour yoghurt he would like or which baby’s toy he preferred. I’ve grown used to talking to him, especially when Antoine isn’t around, which obviously occurred quite often because as he is busy with training and matches.
“Oh babe, your papa is about to score” I exclaim excitedly as the match is almost halfway through. “He did it!!” I yell and rub my tummy, proud of my boyfriend. Antoine runs over to the stands and does his usual goal celebration before the match continues. During the halftime and right before the players exit the pitch he blows me a kiss and I smile at him.
The second half is over quickly, Atleti scores one more goal and when the referee blows his whistle I carefully get up from my seat to applaud for our team. I slowly walk down to the fence where a security guard helps me down on the pitch. Whn Antoine sees me approaching he runs over to me and hugs me, loosely as he tries not to crush my bump too much. “He was kicking so much, I think he wanted to join you on the pich” I giggle as Antoine steps back again, still holding my hand in his though.
He gets down on his knees and presses a kiss to my tummy. “I can’t wait to teach you all the tricks and bring you out here when no ones around and kick the ball with you” he smiles and you run your free hand through Antoine’s hair. He looks up at you and suddenly tears form in your eyes. As Antoine realizes he’s up on his feet again “What’s wrong?” he asks concered. You shake your head, tears spilling but laughing anyway.
“I’m so happy” I mutter. “You and the baby just make me the luckiest person on earth.” Antoine’s expression softens again as he cups my cheeks in his hands and gently kisses my lips. “I’m the lucky one” he breathes against them. “Shall we go home now? We can order some food and lay down in bed to watch some movies? I’m free all weekend long.” I nod, tears slowly dying as Antoine leads me through the tunnels.
“I’ll hop in the shower. Wait here alright? And sit down, you must be tired!” Antoine rushes around to find you a plastic chair which he places right next to you. “Thanks” you smile at him, indeed a bit tired from the evening. When Antoine’s gone you lean down to your bump again. “You’re papa is the most handsome and kind man I know, not only am I lucky to have him by my side, you’re gonna be so lucky having him as a father. He’ll love you so much.” I close my eyes, leaning back on the chair. “And I’ll love you too” I add, smiling to myself.
“Babe, hey, wake up” I hear a familiar voice calling from somewhere. I slowly open my eyes, confused about where I am. I see Antoine hovering above me. “What’s up? Where am I?” I ask and Antoine chuckles.
“I was gone for ten minutes to get in the shower and you must have fallen asleep. I’ll help you up and we’ll get you home alright?” I nod, squinting your eyes and slowly getting up from the chair. I groan as I feel the pain in my back again. Antoine holds my arm and together we exit the stadium and hop into my car. Antoine drives us home and helps me get up the stairs and right into bed.
“I’m hungry” I pout as I lay there. “And I feel stupid. You almost had to carry me all the way up here. As if I’m some old fat woman who can’t do anything by herself.” Antoine furrows his eyebrows at me. “You’re yoking right?” he asks but I shake my head no. I’ve been feeling a little useless lately. I’m barely able to do anything important anymore and falling asleep on that chair back in the stadium..
“That was so embarrassing. You were gone, like, what? Ten minutes? And my stupid ass falls asleep in that short amount of time? Embarrassing is what that is.” I mumble more to myself but obviously Antoine hears every single word.
He gets in bed right next to me, sitting on his knees as he grabs my hand. “Y/n” he says seriously. “You’re over eight months pregnant. It’s natural. Your aching back, your mood swing, which I’m guessing this is right now, you tiredness, it all comes with that little baby growing inside of you. I don’t care that I have to carry you upstairs, or wake you up in random places or whatever might follow in the upcoming month. You’re carrying our baby and you deserve every tiny help I can possibly contribute to that. I’m glad you can’t do much anymore because otherwise I’d be feeling useless here.”
I stare at Antoine as he’s giving me this little pep talk and can’t help but smile again at his words. “You’re the best. I don’t know what I’d do without you.” Antoine sighs in relief as he sees me smiling again. “And you will never have to figure that out because I’ll always be right by your side.” Then he leans down and kisses me, his lips are soft against mine but his stubble brushes my face and I giggle into the kiss.
“You want some pizza now?” he asks against my lips and I nod eagerly. Antoine leans down to my bump and snuggles his nose against it, making me laugh out loud. “Alright baby boy, what kinda pizza do you prefer today” Antoine asks and I can’t help but once again feel overwhelmed by how lucky I got.

Ah. Sorry to bother you but I'm having a bbd so can I have some hcs about Zoro? Fluff with a touch of angst or just straight up fluff? (I still love that this is a thing now. It makes me so happy people have a new term to explain this and it makes me happy that it makes them happy and maybe helps)
I usually don’t like to skip ahead to different asks, but I know what a BBD feels like so I would be more than happy to give you some HC’s about Zoro, but I’m going to do a bunch of fluff
I am also really happy the BBD took off, because like all things our brains sometimes don’t feel so good and on those day(s) it’s so good to acknowledge that you’re having a bad day, and to do things that are going to make you feel better, even if it’s just brushing your teeth or buying that thing you’ve been wanting to buy
I don’t mean to get so deep before HC’s but mental health is not a matter to put aside and though it’s difficult if everyone put their mental health first, after a while we’d all be a bit more healthy
Also, I believe you sent the next ask so I’m gonna make a general PSA now, every time I get an ask I try to answer it that day or right then and there if I have a chance, but like this past weekend I was out of state, without my laptop, and up from 7 A.M. and not back from whatever we were doing until like 8 or 9 and just completely exhausted so I couldn’t do as much blog stuff as I’d likeSo yes, I was very busy, but I run this blog for fun and in my free time and I love to do it so I will never be too busy to answer something at all. I am never too busy to talk. It may take a while but I will answer and I will chat.
So without further ado…… FLUFFY ZORO HCS FOR THE BBD
Zoro is a giant dork as we all know, but it’s actually worse
It’s canon he gets lost on the sunny, and isn’t good at many puzzles(he’s great at battle strategies tho) but you can see this giant dork playing hide n go seek with his fellow crew mates when they demand him too, and you can also see him attempt puzzles with robin, marco, or chopper
He’s (i hc him at least) as the first mate, so he feels it in his job to know the crew almost better than the doctor
He knows Robin doesn’t really like red peppers and she totally knows sanji would make an entire separate dish for her if she said something(which isn’t necessary for her btw) so Zoro will start little arguments with sanji so he doesn’t see her pick the peppers out and give them to Nami(who loves peppers)
He is the person that puts blankets on sleeping crew members and even carries them to their bunk/bed
Since he’s only of the monster trio, if sanji is in the kitchen and luffy is elsewhere, he makes it a point to be out on deck to not only make his crew feel safer but to deter other ships from attacking because they see him
He is 100% always down to fight for crew members and it’s not fantastic ok they love it but zoro babe, hun, chill
He fought for Marco once(he could have taken them but was eh about fighting runts) but dudes said “that’s why you’re the only one left” something to that effect
and even Usopp stood up ready to square up(Mihawk and Shanks were on standby cause it was about to get bloody) and Zoro and Nami just decked the two dudes in complete synchronization and didn’t say a fucking word and Mihawk actaully fucking clapped
Zoro and Nami are absolutely the body guards, and Mihawk feels like Nami is somehow another daughter?? But less stabby and more punchy than his other two
Zoro and Nami speak with their eyes and it’s honestly terrifying like they’re BFF’s from hell
Zoro has the physical strength to wrap you up in a blanket and hold you and he will not hesitate to do so
He likes to braid hair and use his hands(he’s a swordsman) so you can see him doing that to all crew membersUsopp absolutely loves him because Robin and Nami usually help each other, and he’s fine to do it on his own but it is so much better to have someone else
Zoro takes an interest in the crew and their passions, because how else do you form trust? He takes a few cooking lessons from sanjiZ: What if we split up and I need to cook? I know Im useless with directions but I have to pull my own weight
He takes a few lessons from Luffy on how to identify plant life on mountains and how to track animals the old fashioned way
Franky teaches him a bit about building, and Robin teaches him about finding information brokers in cities
Nami teaches him the basics about finding people
Chopper gives him first aid training
And it really helps because Nami can go to him and use her jargon and he gets it and Chopper can ask him to grab stuff and he knows what that is
Zoro watches his crew members, when you think he’s taking a nap, he has his eye on everyoneWhen he’s fighting enemies he has a general idea of where to go nextWhen he’s on watch he knows where everyone is still
Zoro is like a giant big brother that is not afraid to throw down, or cry with you
So anon, as a final gift I think Zoro would tell you that it is going to be okay, and it’s hard work to be okay after a BBD and fixing the way you think but he’d tell you to be nice to yourself, and reach out to anyone you can because BBD are impossible without help from someone.
I hope you like these, and I think on my blog I have another post regarding them
These are fluffy ZoLu HCs(I didn’t write specific Zoro hcs unfortunately)
I really hope you feel better Anon, I know how bad those days are and just remember, you are worth everything, you are always doing your best, and it is okay to not be okay
Feel better!!!! I hope you enjoy these hcs!
#roronoa zoro hcs#roronoa zoro#fluff hcs#one piece#anon ask#I'm still gonna do the other asks i promise#this one seemed to take precedent bc of bbd#and I wanted to tell everyone i'm never too busy#and to love yourselves#if you got to write it on your arm every day do it#if you need to set an alarm everyday do it#never forget you are loved#monkey d. luffy#nami#sanji#usopp#tony tony chopper#nico robin#cyborg franky#soul king brook#jimbei#Marco the Phoenix#carrot

As I’m writing this, I legit have just three days left till my winter break ends. However, by the time this post goes live on my blog, I’m hella sure that this challenge will be completed on my side and I’ll be ready to slay at school. With that said, if you want to know the secret of how I get ready for school after a break, then keep on reading. Next semester? Get ready to be conquered.
I would recommend downloading and printing off the PDF file of this challenge if you want a proper checklist that you’re about to slay.
To note:
This is a challenge. Don’t simply read through this post. I dare you to get all of these things done before your break ends.
It doesn’t matter if you’re reading this while it’s your spring/summer break. Just because this post was made during my winter break doesn't mean that you gotta wait till winter to try this out. All your need for this challenge is a few days to get your shit together and a break gives you the time to do that.
I’ve purposely put a few more things than needed in this list because - a) It’ll encourage you to get your lazy ass off the couch and hustle more (I see you) and b) Long Is the New Black (ok, I stop).
Obviously, if your break ends in like two days and you legit have no time, go ahead and get those tasks done which look important to you.
I’VE DARED YOU! Let’s do this (always remember, actions speak louder than your words).
clean the living crap out of your room
I mean it. Look around and you’ll probably find your test papers from 3 years ago. You can play the clean up song while you do this, I won’t judge you.
Change your bedding.
Do the damn laundry.
Sort out all papers - assignments, test papers, maybe even old grannie letters to your homie, all go to their places.
Dust yo’ desk, cupboards and drawers - I know you have like one inch of grime on every math book because you haven’t touched them in years, lmao.
Give! Your! Space! A! New! Look! So important. I’ll hands down say that this one is the game changer. You can go ahead and give your room an entire makeover (shift your music to Mr. Kate’s theme song now, lol) or just simply rearrange the pen stands on your desk.
Bathe in the glory of having a clean room, like, yay you.
clean the living crap out of your computer
Downloads folder. Holy heck, sort that ish.
Delete files that are not needed.
Make sure your screen isn’t full of small files. Folders were created for a reason.
Make new folders for the next semester’s classes. Go further by making sub-folders for different units too, so that the next time you gotta save something, you don’t leave it in the downloads folder next time (hasn’t that folder suffered enough?).
clean the living crap out of your online stuff
Clean your inbox down to zero.
Reply to emails, if any.
Social media accounts. Delete the unnecessary ones. You probably still have your vine account, lmao.
Reply to social media messages and delete those pesky spams while you are at it.
If you run a blog, clean out the inbox and messages too.
You just killed it! Let’s move on now.
kill your academic work
ah, the good ol’ learning.
MAKE YOUR NOTES, YOU DUMBHEAD.
Check your school’s website to see if Miss Honey sent any surprise (so annoying, I know!) assignments.
Complete your homework on time because you probably just chilled on the Friday school closed and left it for the weekend (and didn’t do it then too, lol)
If you have any exam coming up, start prepping!!
Make sure everything’s ready, whether it’s your notes, assignments, whatever. Realizing you have a mock test on the last day (also probably set by Miss Honey) is the quickest way to get a heart attack, scientifically proven. (And you thought your ex breaking up with you was bad? Oh, hun).
other stuff to try out
Try learning new things! Being off from school gives you a lot of free time (seven hrs, precisely) so instead of playing Mario Kart, use it well.
Try out projects you’ve always wanted to try out. Maybe it’s a crazy idea like starting a YouTube channel or just beating your friend at Mario Kart (I mean, a lil Mario Kart does no harm..), it’s worth a shot.
Make a badass playlist! (btw, you can also check out my soundcloud account, #plug).
Do a booty pop! You’ve conquered this challenge, and boy, you should be damn proud. Conquer your next semester and make yourself even more proud.
Well, that’s it, it’s a wrap! If you have any questions/suggestions regarding anything I said up there, feel free to send in a message! My other og posts are here and to request one, leave your question in my ask box!
I hope you all are well, stay strong and conquer life, you conqueror.
- nandini (´。• ᵕ •。`) ♡

Chapter 4: Welcome to Team Free Will
“These are some good pancakes, cupcake.” Gabriel murmured dousing them with more maple syrup.
“Thanks, honey bun.” The angel’s head jerked up and stared at her. “What?” She blushed slightly. “You’ve been calling me all sorts of food related things, thought I’d return the favor.” She grinned.
“Okay then, gum drop. Game on.” He grinned back.
“I’m surprised you can taste the pancakes over all the syrup.”
He grinned back around a mouthful of food, “I like sweets.”
“Me too.” She smiled, shifting her hips to lean on the counter. “But apparently not as much as you.”
Over breakfast, Gabriel had started telling her about his story: his family, the apocalypse, how he’d met the Winchesters, about Jack, and what had happened to make Heaven loose so many angels. It was complicated, and there were a lot of holes, but he explained the Winchesters would be able to fill in most of missing pieces.
Riley was fascinated. Still a bit anxious and unsure, and she kept pinching herself to make sure she wasn’t sleeping. She wasn’t, sadly.
Gabriel was as helpful as he could be. He didn’t spare any details from his answers. He even offered to do the dishes while she packed. Apparently, this involved snapping his fingers, which made Riley frown, and wonder if she could do dishes that way too now…. There was going to be some great application to this angel mojo if it could be used to make her apartment clean. Sighing, Riley headed to her room and began pulling out clothes and items she need for a week, or two.
If it went longer…. Then she’d have to consider what to do long term. But that was a decision for future Riley.
Once packed, Riley made her way to the bathroom and grabbed a quick shower. She wasn’t quite sure what to do about her wings, because although they didn’t seem to get wet, she could feel them on her back and had a very strong urge to clean them. Especially since she could reach out and touch them, the feathers soft in her fingers. Her wing span was pretty large, though nothing compared to Gabriel’s. His wings were massive. Would his feather have the same feeling? Could wings be hurt?
She spent a longer time in the shower than she intended, musing on things as the water massaged her aching body.
-----------
For his part, Gabriel waited pretty patiently. He snapped the kitchen clean. Raided the candy bowl he found on the dining room table and settled in to watch some tv. He did send a quick mental note to Castiel that he might want to rendezvous with the Winchesters, as there was going to need to be a discussion asap on what happened next.
When Riley emerged from her bedroom, dressed in jean shorts, a bright yellow tank top and green flannel shirt, she found him sprawled across the couch, mouth around a lollipop, watching Dr. Sexy reruns. His eyes raked over her form as she approached, and he gave her bemused smile, “Flannel?”
Riley blinked at him, “It’s the weekend, I tend to dress down.” Her hand reached up a tugged the braid she’d wound her wet hair into. “Is it bad?”
He gave a bemused chuckle, “No. It’s just that you’ll fit right in with the Hardy twins.”
“Um….”
“Winchesters. They wear a lot of flannel.”
“I like flannel.” She sounded slightly offended. “What’s the issue with it?”
“Nothing. Nothing.” He soothed, “It’s cute on you.”
A blush tinged her cheeks as she turned back to kitchen. “I’ve got my stuff. I made arrangements for next week, work wise. So I’m ready whenever you are.”
“Righty-o.” Gabriel stood, tv blinking off behind him. He grabbed one of her bags and then took her hand with the other. “So, first time flyer – I’ll take us this time. Then we’ll need to work on you being able to do it yourself. But later.” He winked. “Ready, set, here we go!”
And like that, Riley’s apartment no longer held the two angels.
-------------
The hotel room Gabriel transported them to was cheap, and made Riley’s skin crawl ever so slightly. It wasn’t that she was judgey about the quality, more so the state of cleanliness. She hoped it wasn’t their final destination, but figured she’d roll with the punches at this point. The day could honestly not get much weirder.
Then she met Sam and Dean. The two men who inhabited the room were not what she’d expected. Gabriel, for all his humor and weirdness, was very well dressed and smooth talking. The Winchesters were….. not.
Rough around the edges would be a good way to describe them.
When they arrived, with the sound of wings no less, the boys had rolled off their respective beds and drawn weapons on them. Riley screamed.
Sam towered, literally towered over her and Gabriel. “Easy there Samsquatch, Deano.” Gabriel said. The boys slowly put their weapons down, though Dean did not put his completely away.
It had been an interesting meeting.
After they’d all calmed down and Riley was no longer hyperventilating, she got to actually meet the boys. Sam and Dean were nice, a bit freaked out, but still nice.
They had no idea what to make of her. Neither considered the possibility that she would have survived, or been turned into…. Whatever she was now. Angel? Half angel? Random thingy.
Sam was polite and Dean was gruff. He had a smolder to him that would have been charming if they’d been in a bar and not standing around a motel room. On first impression, Riley honestly liked Sam better, he made her feel more at ease….. and less like he’d shove a knife through her heart at any moment.
Neither tried to kill her though, which was a welcome thing. Instead they’d gone to a diner to grab some breakfast. Or for Gabriel and Riley, second breakfast.
Riley wasn’t particularly hungry, but she figured this wasn’t fully about food. They were in Massachusetts still, but pretty far outside Boston. Sam told her that Jody had called last night, and they’d driven up until Gabriel had told them to stay put. So they found themselves in a small town, waiting to hear.
Which was why the two men had stared in shock at Gabriel and Riley when they’d shown up at their hotel room, waking them up. Thus, Dean declared they needed food, and so to the diner they went.
There, as Dean stuffed his face with greasy food, and Riley sipped at a cup of tea, Sam started to tell their story. It was long, and complicated, and at points Riley really didn’t want to believe it. The life of the two men before her was terrible in its brutality and cruelty. They were brave, and crazy in the amount of fortitude they had. She didn’t believe she could have survived the things the universe, or apparently… Chuck….. had thrown at them. Not that they always survived. They just apparently came back to life.
Overall, it was also a condensed version, and Riley was worried what a full telling would reveal. The cliff notes were bad enough.
And then Sam started to talk about Jack, and Riley’s heart broke. How young. How alone. How unfair his life was. And Riley really wanted to find the poor kid and give him a hug. Even if he was the reason she was now having her eyes opened to the world of things that went bump in the night, she still felt a heart wrenching in sympathy for the kid. She was still a tad peeved at him, she had been happy in her life in Boston, but she still couldn’t help feel bad for the kid.
The other thing she knew, just knew, was that she did not want to be a hunter. The lore was interesting, all those supernatural creatures. But damn if she was going to go out hunting them. Especially since it seemed to spawn only heartache, misery, and death. Who knew that death could die, btw, that was just some messed up shit. And it sounded awfully lonely.
Which was probably why all three of the men at the table with her had haunted looks in their eyes.
Even if not a hunter, Riley was sort of stuck. It wasn’t like she could just walk away at this point. This was apparent by the ever-present translucent wings now on her back. She still had mixed feelings about those.
Also, Riley found herself drawn the brothers. Not romantically, definitely not sexually (though neither was hard on the eyes). She just, wanted to hug them.
As for Gabriel…. Riley wasn’t sure exactly where her feelings lied. He had staid with her through the night, joked with her in the morning, and brought her to the boys. Everything he’d done had been to help her. Plus he made her heart flutter, just a tad. A crush maybe? Riley shrugged it off. No time to deal with it now. So many other things to deal with.
Breakfast was a slow affair, and Gabriel sat there drinking his sugar with coffee in it and Riley sipping her third cup of tea. Dean ate a lot. Sam ate some. And by the time they were all done, and the most of breakfast crowd had filtered out, that was about the time that Castiel walked in.
Meeting Castiel was……… weird. He was not what she expected. So serious. The straight man to Gabriel’s trickster. Which was surprising because she’d imaged the other angels would be like Gabriel. But Castiel was the anthesis was the sugar loving archangel.
Plus he’d stared at her in such an unnerving way that Riley had excused herself to make a phone call.
While the four boys talked, Riley escaped outside to call Jody. Jody was shocked and happy. She didn’t expect that win, and it was a win. She said they were going to drink the moment Riley felt good enough to get out of the bunker. Riley really wanted to ask what the bunker was, but figured she’d find out soon enough.
They chatted for a while, catching up. Jody gave her more pieces of the puzzle, explaining how she’d met the boys and how she’d actually found herself with her charges.
As they were signing off, the boys exited the diner. Castiel disappeared quickly.
“You can hitch a ride with me.” Gabriel offered, “I’ll drop your bags and you off at the bunker?”
“Um…”
Dean scoffed, “And leave the girl alone in a strange bunker. We’ll take her.”
Gabriel shrugged, and grabbing her bags, disappeared too.
Riley found herself following the Winchesters to a black impala. Riley stopped and stared at the car for a few minutes. She loved it. It was so classic and beautiful, and told Dean so. Which is how she found herself riding shotgun and Dean now grinning at her. “Music?”
“Obviously.” She responded. Dean hit the dial and AC/DC filled the car. Sam sighed, cramped in the backseat. “I could have gone with Gabriel.” She offered, still could.
“Nope, gotta get the full experience.” Dean said. “Plus you can tell us about yourself now.”
“Ah. Sure.” Riley sent Sam a sympathetic look as he shifted again, stuck in the back. “I’m from Massachusetts, but the rural area originally. I went to undergrad and studied pre-law. Went to law school in the city. Took the bar. Got a job. And here I am.”
Dean chuckled, “That can’t be all.”
“Honestly, I’m kind of boring compared to you guys.”
“How’d you meet Jody?” Sam asked.
“I attended a seminar on small town law and its conjunction with law enforcement. I met Jody there. She was giving a talk sheriff life. We staid in touch. I helped her with a custody thing.” She shrugged, “We have girls days when ever we’re in the same part of the country.”
“Boyfriend?” Dean asked. Sam snorted in response.
“Nope. Too busy with school.” She smiled, “And you?”
Sam burst out laughing, “No serious relationships. Dean likes the ladies though.”
“The ladies like me.” Dean grinned.
Riley was nothing like them she realized. Other than music apparently, she had had little to offer the Winchesters. This was going to be an interesting experience. Heck, if it ever stopped. Riley glanced out the window, ‘for all I know, this is my life now. Or whatever comes next.’
“Do you like pie? Or beer?” Dean asked.
Riley’s eyes slid back to him, “Both. I make a good apple pie.”
“Make?” Sam asked.
“Yeah, I like to bake.”
“I think I’m in love.” Dean flashed her joking smile. “You’ll fit right in.”
Riley laughed, wondering how they could think that. She relaxed though and allowed herself to be drawn into some inane conversation about the best pies Dean had ever had on their hunting trips.

Takarazuka ~World of Dreams~ in Seattle
I waited until I got all the way home to Boston to post this because I have so many things I want to get out and it would be impossible to do on my phone, so here I am, waiting for some late night Chinese food to arrive, and I’m going to just sort of wordvomit everything from this past weekend before I put it off too long that it’s just too stale to do anymore or I’ll forget these 5000 thoughts going through my head. It took me until Friday to finish it, so I wrote it in a couple different chunks and it’s a bit rambling, so....apologies for the length (ahaaahahaa...) and also if I repeat myself...I tried to add pictures in to make it more interesting, ahaha.
As I said in a (forthcoming) podcast of all of us rambling about our thoughts and impressions after the show, it still somehow doesn’t feel real. There was so much build up prior to the event that now that it’s over I’m still sort left with this lingering feeling of “did that actually happen?” So much happened over the course of three days.
We flew in on Friday after staying up until 2:30 AM EST finishing costume details and packing. Our flight was at 9 but I still got up at 5 because I’m a masochist or something, and only grabbed about 3 hours of sleep on the six hour flight (more than usual because I recently purchased a TRTL neck scarf thing and it’s freaking life changing because I can never sleep on planes and neck pillows are bulky and uncomfortable but this thing is MAGIC). We got to our hotel probably around 2:30, took showers, were starving, so I poked around for potential spots to eat and since it was chilly and rainy I googled for ramen on google maps, and the closest spot was a place called KIKI RAMEN, so, naturally, we had to go (it was delicious btw).
We didn’t have any drinks but those looked pretty great too (yes, it says OG Kiki and Kiki favorites and the actual punchline of this joke is that Kiki herself doesn’t drink so it’s amusing - sidenote: as a testament to her acting talent, she plays a very good drunk. See: MeMy 2016).
So then, Al and I had a special meeting on Friday evening, which was a costume fitting. I kept under wraps for months that Sakiko had asked me to provide costumes for this performance for the Rose of Versailles numbers. The thought of siennes wearing my silly cosplay costumes floored me, and even though I knew I’d have to rework (and actually remake) a few pieces, I enthusiastically agreed. I knew there would be challenges in the sense that I have very little experience sewing for another person, much less someone I wouldn’t physically have access to ensure a proper fit, but long story short, it happily worked out.
I can see the mistakes, and there were a few snafus and some misunderstandings, but both Ayaka Rei and Shiho Nanami were so so nice gracious and patient with me that even though I was NERVOUS AS HELL especially going into the first fitting on Friday and had to rework some rework on Sunday (I literally was sewing in a zipper and tacking down the sash right before they had to get dressed for the show), in the end everything turned out fine. Eriko-san, their manager, was super sweet and multiple times gave me food or snacks (a lifesaver on Sunday hurk). The header photo is a really bad screencap from some video I took during dress rehearsal, and the photo above is from Eriko-san via Sakiko, as I’m 10000% kicking myself for being too damn shy to ask for a photo for at least my own posterity, but there also just wasn’t a lot of time to do so anyway.
I remade the brooches (hand gluing several hundred individual rhinestones that took about 3.5 hours per brooch) and they glittered like the flipping sun. The Oscar coat I had to make a new one of completely because I have 0 experience altering already made garments and my own would be far too big. Luckily I had the resources to put together something that worked and chose a different version that meant I wouldn’t have to spend 4 hours per sleeve embellishing (and as cool as that would have been and I in theory had time to do it since I had months of advance notice, I also worked 6 days per week from about May through October, so unfortunately the time and sanity just wasn’t there).
These are the original costumes, Andre’s is basically the same.
And here’s a WIP of the new Oscar coat I made for this show - these are the tails, which you don’t get to see really so...now you do!
I used some fancy materials because I’m Extra, and if there’s a time to be Extra at all in your costume making it’s when you’re making a Takarazuka costume for actual Takarazuka actresses to wear on stage. I worried Andre might be too plain, but I had forgotten that there’s actually a solid amount of sequins on that costume too and it sparkled in the stage lights and I was just so happy. Extra shoutouts to the lady at the fabric store in Pike Market place who had a separating zipper in the exact color and almost exact length I needed, everyone who cheered me on as I was freaking out about Mood not sending my fabric, my friends who did the resin jewels for the center of the brooches, Jen and Becca who sat with me while I sewed down to the wire, and of course my ever patient and wonderful partner Al, who was guinea pig and model and motivator while I sewed for about 4 days straight over Thanksgiving weekend. A huge huge thank you to Sakiko, the wonder woman of this whole event, for even extending me the opportunity to do this. (Extra shout out to MAITII (Minami Maito) AND LUNA (Saezuki Runa) for loaning their boots for the performance, THANKS LADIES).
But of course, the deepest thanks and gratitude, from the bottom of my heart, to Ayaka Rei and Shiho Nanami, who again were so kind and patient (especially Ayaka Rei as I had to make the most adjustments to her costume and some trial and error after a couple things didn’t work out), who looked amazing and performed wonderfully and I will just never ever forget those moments for the rest of my life.
Me with the costumes after we got home because idk reasons:
ANYWAY, so we got to quickly meet all four of them briefly on Friday, and I also got to hand off our super modest (本当につまらないものですが)gifts of Boston tea to each of them (because what else do you give people as a representation of where you live when you’re from Boston that isn’t overly MURRICA but is still notable - tea). Mariho Erina greeted us in English and I felt like all weekend she was excited to use it as much as she could - she and Tama Mayura were both so sweet.
On Saturday we met up with lovelies @zukadiary, @suitsuite, @hoshigomi, and S for some wandering around Pike Place Market (I’m only slightly bummed that because of the craziness of the weekend it didn’t afford much time for actual sightseeing), lunch, and some brief shopping before going our separate ways for a few hours. I spent some time doing some fixes to the costumes before getting ready for our dinner party / ochakai with the “superfans” (lololol) and the OGs, which ended up being in a more tea party format and was so fun to spend time with other fans that I hadn’t met before in person or don’t get to see often - @suitsuite did a great writeup of the events here, so I’ll let you wander over there to check out her account. We ended up in the front row center (lawl) which was pretty great for when they sang for us, ngl. Unfortunately I started the event with a headache that proceeded to a nasty migraine by the end, so we had to skip out on karaoke and head back to the hotel immediately after everything was over because I got full on sick shortly after. Luckily I felt much better after that and passed out.
Oh yeah, while walking around the Pike Place area, I spotted this restaurant:
(By the way yes I realize it’s probably not that uncommon of a name but it works with the theme, ok)
On Sunday we got up earlyish (still being on east cost time it meant I was awake at like 6 AM but stayed in bed for a while after) and ate at Biscuit Bitch which was nextdoor to our hotel and was flipping d e l i c i o u s. 120% recommend. I got their Seattle Fog drink which was Early gray, vanilla, steamed milk, and orange zest. So A+. They have gluten free versions of their biscuits and gravy, too!
Sunday was fun (I am being both facetious and serious at the same time here) because I ended up having to go run around looking for a fabric store for a zipper, since my original hook and eye closure for Oscar’s jacket wasn’t going to work for the change they needed to make for the next song, so I googlemaped this place called Our Fabric Stash, which is a cool concept of being able to sell off your extra fabric and maybe pick up some other stuff for a project - awesome recycling concept, and she had a bunch of vintage patterns and all kinds of stuff, including aforementioned gold find of a zipper (which I ended up putting in in a stupid way the first time and fixed later after dress rehearsal). The woman there was super super nice and I wish I’d had more time to spend and talk with her and look around, but it took five of us like 20 minutes just to find it since it was buried in the market (I ended up running into several other zuka people down there during my own hunt who were also looking for the same shop) and I had limited time left to go put this thing in.
We made it to the theater just in the nick of time for dress rehearsal, realized there were still other things I’d need to fix afterward which became evident during that part of the rehearsal, so I stole the jacket away to rework the zipper again and fix a major flaw. It was a great learning experience because I had to rewire my brain to not think like a cosplayer in the fact that I can’t just pin everything because these pieces all have to come off relatively quickly, and you only get a few minutes to actually look at them. I had zero time to even put much makeup on at all during the whole day because there was just no down time to do it (I was literally hand sewing up until maybe 10 minutes before the show). Not a BIG deal obviously but I like to be fancy when I can (luckily I had had the chance to not look like a scrub the past two nights so yay). Eriko-san, their manager, graciously gave me two onigiri because I hadn’t eaten anything since that morning and I’m pretty sure it’s the only thing that really kept me from full on passing out later in the day.
Suddenly, it was time for the show.
There was a big center block of us right in front, which was honestly, so, so much fun - to go see a show with other foreign fans is rare, and it’s stupid rare for so many of us to be all together at once. I wonder what the rest of the audience made of us, particularly at moments like when we all whispered “STAR!” to Ayaka Rei for the English word of her troupe when she forgot during her introduction. But at any rate, Becca and Jen gave a wonderful short introduction to Takarazuka and foreign fans, and then they played the video from the English website that went a little more in depth (if you haven’t seen it, it’s a Time) - it’s actually a good overview despite a few funny quirks. And then - OH AND THEN - the curtain raises and ahh the four of them are standing on stage, the Mariho Erina and Tama Mayura in lovely beautiful dresses to either side of Ayaka Rei and Shiho Nanami wearing my costumes, and they just glittered, literally and figuratively, and wow. I’d forgotten how many sequins ACTUALLY were on that Andre jacket and it just glittered. I could see some mistakes, worried that people would notice them, but in the end I just hoped that all of the sparkles were a big enough distraction that it wouldn’t matter. I never imagined these costumes would be on stage, nevermind on actual former Takarasiennes, and just - hell. It was amazing. It is amazing, and I’m so happy I could make something so beautiful and bring together both of my stupidly expensive, ridiculous hobbies together like this.
The show was so fun - lots of familiar favorites of course, @suitsuite did another great writeup of the whole thing here, so I’ll just mention a few of my favorite scenes, which was of course the berubara opening songs, getting to hear Mariho Erina’s beautiful Watshi Dake Ni not once, not twice, but THREE times (because I got to sit in and listen to dress rehearsal) was pretty ace, but the moments I LOVED was them utilizing the stairs along the audience and high-fiving Nanami-san, all of their energy, the smiles on their faces and the tears in their eyes when we cheered and jumped to our feet at the end of the show. I was so happy that the rest of the audience in the theater also enjoyed it, whether they already knew Takarazuka or were experiencing a taste of it for the first time, it was just so, so wonderful. I LOVED the “rock” version of Sumire no Hana, and it was just SO MUCH FUN.
After the show we had to hang around for a while before grabbing the costumes, and since Al had been roped into doing the merch table, I chatted with some people who wandered by wanting more info before a few of us were used to help stage for the interview. After that was done we grabbed the costumes, unfortunately had a really quick time to say goodbye, and then we met up with so many of you wonderful, amazing people for a post-show viewing party where we recorded reactions for the podcast, ordered enough pizza to feed a small army, and @hoshigomi and I polished off two bottles of sparkling rose like champs while watching SANTE, HOT EYES, Romance!!, and half of Sports day. In all honesty, that was my favorite part of the weekend. I’m so, SO sad we’re all so far flung that we don’t get to see each other very often at all, I’m SO sad for the people I didn’t get to see or meet because you couldn’t make it for one reason or another, but that’s what made this all the more special, what makes me wish we could ALL get together at some point, some day, JUST to hang out and scream and talk in person, to wear out our voices rather than our fingers, and as mentioned somewhere - the incredible concept of just LEANING OVER and showing someone new iride photos rather than sending them on LINE or twitter or whatever.
I said this on the recording that you’ll get to hear later, but I love Takarazuka for the love that it encourages - the love and happiness you feel watching a show, the love you have for the actresses, the love that other fans spread by paying it forward, by the random acts of kindness, by finding ways bring that love and happiness to others. Especially in the past couple of years, I’ve needed that love more than ever. I miss all of you so much, and I hope someday to meet those of you I haven’t yet in person to be able to soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
#whew that was long#thanks for reading#sorry I ramble aahh I had a lot of feelings#takarazuka og#takarazuka in seattle#world of dreams#i also managed to make my blog not look like garbage so the whole thing is actually readable YAY

Interview #5
14/3/19
Tell me about a time where you started feeling symptoms. What did you do? How did you feel in that moment? (How important is it to you to get these symptoms checked out? How long you do you typically wait before doing so? Why?)
I started feeling symptoms not long after I had an iron injection so I thought my injury was correlated to that
I went to the doctors to confirm it, and it took us a long time to figure out that it actually wasn’t that - so I was in a little pain for a very very long time
How long did you wait after you felt the pain before consulting the doctor again?
It was pretty soon, I had the iron injection and then within a couple of days I started to feel really really intense pain and thinking it was from that, it was within a week, I was able to go back and say hey something’s wrong
How did you feel in that moment?
Kinda scared, I hadn’t had that sort of pain before so I was worried and wanted to get some clarification that I hopefully wouldn’t have anything to worry about or it would ease out
How long do you usually wait before getting things checkout though? Why?
I wait till things get really really bad before I see the doctor with anything. One of the reasons being money, doctors are pretty expensive and I’ve got that kiwi attitude “She’ll be alright”
Tell me about your healthcare provider. Is your doctor/GP available via booking an appointment or is it a walk-in clinic?
By appointment but I also can do walk-ins, I never really have to wait that long which is quite good
But if I do walk-in I can’t guarantee that I see my preferred doctor so I always prefer to book in ahead of time if I can
Is it important to you that you see one doctor consistently for all check-ups? Why or why not.
Pretty important, I understand continuity of care is pretty important since they have a good understanding of your health history
Talk me through your usual process of allocating a day and time to see your doctor/GP? How easy or difficult is it to schedule an appointment at a time that suits you? (if it’s a walk-in clinic, how long do you have to wait to see your doctor/GP?)
It’s pretty easy
My hours at work, I finish quite early so I still have a couple of hours at the end of the day to get an appointment if it’s really urgent, otherwise I wait till the weekend to book and usually I’m able to get an appointment when I need it which is cool
When I made an appointment, this doctor’s pretty good I don’t have to wait longer than 10 minutes or so
With walk ins it’s pretty good as well I’ve never waited longer than 15 minutes
Talk me through your most recent visit to the doctor or GP. What were you thinking and how were you feeling from waiting in reception through to going home?
Worried cause I’m always anxious *laughs*
Every time I’m going to the doctor they say my BP elevates which is normal because I’m always anxious about going to the doctor anyway
Can you tell me roughly how long you were seen by the doctor for?
I wouldn’t say they’re like super speedy but not prolonged either
About 20 minutes - Sometimes it’s pretty straightforward and it’s a good amount of time. Other times it could be a bit longer and they get to be more thorough with tests.
Do you have to pay for blood tests?
Some of them are free but some of them do cost
They didn’t warn me about the cost until I got there
It’s frustrating especially since doctors are costly as is - I do think that people need more warning about what they’re going to pay rather than getting it and say “Oh you owe us this”
Talk me through how you were feeling during the actual check-up.
This is when I start to calm down, it’s always the lead up that is more nerve-wracking than being in there
When I start talking about what I’m there for, hearing myself speak sort of calms me down
Trust: 8 times out of 10 I’d say I’m pretty confident in talking to the doctor, some stuff I still keep to myself. Maybe because of fear of judgment. Even though they’re doctors they’ve seen it all but I still can’t shake that anxiety.
How long have you been going to your doctor for?
A year and a half, nearly 2 years
How I made the decision to go to this doctor instead: Cheaper and closer. I thought it was going to be a lot cheaper but it was only slightly cheaper. So I’m considering changing again mostly for the cost. It’s convenient to get to and I never have to wait that long for an appointment but it’s just the price is hefty.
Are there any other factors you take into consideration when choosing a doctor?
I like to get recommendations from people that have been there before so I know that they’re good
Tell me about how your provider explained potential diagnoses and solutions. Were you able to understand clearly the benefits or side effects if any of medication you’re given?
The first provider that helped me get diagnosis for my back injury - he was really good, thorough, would tell me everything and force me to ask any questions in regards to medication he would give me, if I was keen on taking high doses of pain killers which was really cool
The healthcare provider I’m with now, they’re not so informative. I feel like I have to do some research and then ask all the questions rather than them providing me with all the information I should have
I’m really cautious about taking medication. Would go without. I’m not one to pop pills if I’ve got a headache or anything I just let it go
Tell me about a significant clinical experience you can recall (either positive or negative). Why was it significant? How did you feel in that moment? Why did you feel that way? Do most check-ups with your provider turn out like this?
With the iron injection that I thought I had, I thought I had damaged a nerve that’s why I was getting a lot of pain in my leg
After a few trips to the doctor to work out what it was, they finally referred me to a specialist because I couldn’t get an MRI through other means
After a few months I was able to get an MRI so I had that and nothing was showing up but still felt incredible pain, couldn’t walk, couldn’t stand, couldn’t sit
It was really really horrible and nothing was making sense
Finally on the third MRI, it showed I had a prolapse disk that was pushing into my nerve - even with something as common as that it took a really long time to diagnose it
Took about 6 months to fully diagnose, they had talked me through surgery that I was going to have but then ACC weasled in and said they weren’t gonna cover that
Had to heal naturally which prolonged my entire *laughing* healing time from start to finish to about nearly 2 years - couldn’t work, sleep, sit, or do anything
Dosed up on pain killers galore the whole time
Surgery
I was really really nervous especially cause I’ve never had surgery before so I didn’t know what to expect with that
But kind of relieved that I would get relief - nervous excitement
Can you comment on the quality of care you typically receive in relation to the cost of a check-up? Rate the cost from:
_ Very affordable _ Affordable _ Expensive _ Very expensive
I’d say this particular doctor is kind of unfair, the GP that I’ve been seeing in regards to a heart issue has been difficult in the sense that I have to constantly chase him up about what’s happening
He’s sending off referrals to cardiologists and I’m not hearing anything back
I feel like I’ve just been completely ignored in the system
Overall, can you tell me how satisfied or dissatisfied you are with your healthcare provider?
In the middle, on the fence
One of my previous GP’s (regular one) was fantastic but the one I’ve been seeing for this particular issue hasn’t been that great
What’s the perfect GP like for you?
Thorough, lets you know about side effects, gives you all info, doesn’t leave you with questions, prepares you for what’s to come
If you’re taking medication or has a procedure that they’re planning they should give you an explanation of what you expect
Reflect on interview
NZ healthcare system is sh*ttier than what I thought
Thoughts of NZ healthcare system
It could be better
Pricewise it could be better
Doctors are very quick to write you a prescription for stuff you may not necessarily need
Need to be more thorough with patients, give them more information
At this point, Nathan who was sitting in the same room contributed to the conversation:
Nathan
“There’s all these other issues I could ask them about” at the time
If you’re paying to see them about one specific thing - then you go
I don’t see it as like you pay for an appointment then you present them a list of everything you need checked out, I feel like you’re gonna end up with a whole lot of treatments you’re gonna have to pay for that you didn’t know about at the time
Then they give you the info and you have to pay like $200 bucks or something
Lauren
That’s what bugs me as well, a lot of times when I do need to go to the doctor it’s cause a whole lot of stuff has built up because I’ve put it all on the back burner
“I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine” and then all of a sudden I’ve got like 10 things to be seen about
But then I feel bad like I’m a burden saying “Oh btw there’s this other issue, and then there’s this.” I don’t want to think I’m a hypochondriac
At the same time don’t wanna come back for another issue
Nathan
You feel like rushed because doctors’ time is really valuable
But at the same time you pay $90 just to see them and half the time you barely get your money’s worth
Knowing they’re doctors that puts you off wanting to take more of their time
Lauren
That’s what I did like about my doctor in Kumeu but it was so annoying to get to because I don’t drive and it’s quite a distance away
$50 for an appointment, even when you make an appointment I would have to wait sometimes an hour
But he’s so thorough, and so good and never wanna like push all these pills on me.
He’d always have different alternatives. If I didn’t want to do one thing he would have an alternative that might work for me
Understandably why he see people so late because he’s always thorough with everyone
The doctor I see now I do feel rushed. My lady doctor (other one) I never felt rushed with her.
My brother’s is only $17 per appointment
Their brother Anthony
Not enrolled it would be $70 but once you’re enrolled the first visit is $35 and any other visit from there is $17
Unless all you’re doing is seeing the nurse it’s $13
Lauren
Doctor kept on sending requests to get me in for an MRI but they keep saying there’s no evidence that I need one
Like I can’t walk. What more evidence do you need *laughs*
I’m glad that I wasn’t able to get surgery. In the long run it would’ve given me more problems
Personal reflection: This was an interesting interview as I got to ask some new questions and go off script like “Describe what an ideal doctor would be” to gain insight into my users’ desires and needs. While it’s recommended to pinpoint needs through how they describe their current experiences now, I tried experimenting and collecting “I wish” responses which I believe is another way of understanding what and where the gaps are.
