#(except I am literally in love with everyone all the time <33333)

[calciferstims]

aaaaahhh I’m glad I pushed myself to make some things again bc it’s reminding me why I love doing requests so much :))) I know some people always assume that if they request something from a creator they’re annoying them, but I truly get so much joy out of making silly little gifts for people and getting to create a little happiness!!!! especially when people send me requests for like the most niche random characters or subjects and I just know that they don’t get a lot of content for Their Thing… that’s when I really smile because I know I get to make something that will make them super happy :))))

* Swedish Culture *

As my exchange semester is coming to an end, I want to share with you what learned about Sweden the last 6 months

Trains drive on the left side of the tracks. On dagen H, everyone switched from driving on the left side to the right side, except for trains. Swedes will look at you funny for bringing that up.

On every product there is a detailed description of how each part of the product should be recycled. We need to do that everywhere.

Fika <33333333

There are no rules for biking here. It is chaos. As a Dutch person I'm very confused

Love to the academic quarter that allows me to be 15 minutes late to every lecture

I think Gävlebocken is a tradition we need to keep. Especially the burning part of it.

Why does everything close so early during the weekends??? What am I supposed to do??

Ikea has my heart. And a lot of my money.

Sun setting at 14.30 makes me want to eat dinner so early already

Also, the cold makes my hair literally so static? Does anyone know what to do about it?

I can never live without kanelbullar again

The amount of lactosefree options there are everywhere! Love it!

Swedes will be sitting outside of a café even when it is -2 degrees. I have the utmost respect for them.

Why do you close everything for the winter? What am I supposed to do now??

The Ikea stereotype is no joke. Everything I own is from Ikea. Everything my friends own is from Ikea.

I miss cheap alcohol :(

Where are there random loose chairs and tables in your trains? Where do they come from? Why are they there?

Affordable housing <333

Little kids in their little snowsuits with their little snowboots are the cutest thing ever

In small towns, you can find like 7 different Japanese restaurants. Nothing else tho.

Kötbullar are so cheap. I love them. I buy them all the time.

I need to know, why are you so obsessed with Thailand as a country?? I need answers.

I'm not made to withstand -15 degrees. No Swede bats an eye.

Also, choirs are a very big thing??? I wish I could sing well.

Did I already mention kanelbullar? <33333

People ask you if you've already been to the ABBA museum. You have not. You are also not planning on going. Still, people ask you.

The Vasa Museum is a very controversial topic.

The red barns you see everywhere are painted with animal blood. You like to point that out to everyone who comes to visit you.

You have not seen the sun in days. You live on vitamin D-supplements and nothing else

Icehockey looks 75% of the time like very aggressive flirting. You know, like the kdramas

You are sitting in the bus quietly. There are people checking the tickets. You have a ticket. Suddenly, there are 4 people standing over you checking your ticket. There's only 5 people in the bus.

16.00 is rush hour. That is very early.

People will not move out of the way for you. Not in the supermarket, not on the train or on the pavement. There have been many times I have had to walk on the road because people will not move for you.

What is lingonberry and why do you put it in everything?

Why do your parties start and end so early?? Why is 4.00 considered "late"?

Just like the Vasa museum, Gamla Uppsala is a very controversial topic.

Tiny rocks are strewn over the street to combat the ice and snow. They get stuck in your shoes. There is a tiny rock collection on the floor of the hallway now.

It is -20 degrees Celsius outside. You see a dude wearing kaki shorts.

Tomten has my heart. He is so tiny.

congrats on your 1K!!! <33333

i would love to get a matchup with someone from DC <3

I'm a very extroverted introvert, if that makes sense. I've been told I'm very caring and notices things about people that other usually wouldn't. I believe I'm quite funny and entertaining :) I'm a very sarcastic person! I tend to be quiet unless you really get to know me. I tend to seem very mean and little bossy but it's really just how I am!

18

Ideal date? My lord. Probably a christmas day spent in the city first, just strolling around (especially book, plant, pet and funiture shops). Then eating a chinese all you can eat buffet (i need my deep fried octopus rings ok.) and then probably a go at the cinema before we head home and relax

I have such a hard time describing my type because i will literally take anyone who likes me. But smth about the "hate everyone except you" is rlly cute :( but also them being all sweet n cute and golden retriever? yes pls

I'm quite sure im an INTP

aries

My hair is dyed a navy blue, like a deep one but i lowkey need to re-dye it because blonde roots are haunting me. I have pretty deep green eyes and i wear rounded glasses (because im blind (-5)). I'm quite tall (6'4") and i'm pretty decently built muscle-vise (volley-player for years so thighs, back, shoulder and forearms).

i hope this made sense :(( <333

and once again, congrats on the 1K!!!

jaime, baby

"Cariño!" Jaime beams, opening his arms for you.

You throw yourself into his arms, and he beams, spinning you around, arms flush against your skin as his cheek presses to yours, lips curled into a giant smile.

He holds up the takeout, lips curled into a smile as you let him in.

"Octopus rings?"

"You know I could never let you have it without." Jaime hums. "Mi tia made them too."

"God, that must be good." You mumble, handing him a paper plate. "Shall we dig in?"

"After you, Cariño."

Headcanons:

Jaime? Down bad. Absolute golden retriever. Loves you. Goes insane for you. You want takeout at two am? He's there.

Helps you dye your hair!! He's super good at it too so the coloring is never uneven

Lots of wandering! He's warm-blooded, so if you ever get cold, his hands are on you. He's got you covered :3

He argues a lot with Khaji Da but ultimately the beetle does approve of you

Expect him to lift you a lot!! he gets super excited when he sees you so he twirls you around

[oldfacesnewdawnoffical]

HELL YESSSS!!! GOD I can't wait to read this story, I already ADORE your version of these characters!! Speaking of that, I really like how you wrote Spottedleaf. Oftentimes in rewrites, she's either portrayed as mysterious lady or a kind, patient nurse- not there's anything wrong with portrayals, as I do enjoy them. Your take, however, is very fascinating! Do you have big plans for her?- Snowkit Anon

WAAHHH THANK YOU!!! <33333 (please scream at me about your thoughts about the characters + their interpretations, I literally THRIVE off of that sort of interaction <333)

Spottedleaf specifically is a character that I am both very conflicted about and also very attached to - in both canon and within OFND. In canon, she always gave me weirdo vibes,, like she was trying too hard to be kind, trying too hard to be liked, trying too hard to be mysterious and ethereal and needed. And perhaps I’m just a pessimist who was surrounded by these sorts of people growing up, but that’s how she felt to me… I also really loved the idea of an antagonistic Spottedleaf… perhaps not outright a villain, at least in life, but slowly growing into that role over time as her memory faded far quicker than she would have liked.

So I leaned into that ;) Heavily.

OFND’s Spottedleaf is a character that is very full of herself. She has to be, has to put on the air of importance that comes along with her role. After all, if an augur displays even the slightest hint of disloyalty, who knows what’ll happen? So she goes in the full opposite direction: She can be loyal! The loyalest!! Just watch, as she puts her faction above everything else - except her own personal vices, her lust for casual power, her need to exist in the spotlight with everyone’s eyes on her.

I had a lot of inspirations when crafting her character. Most notably? The likes of Alice Angel (BatIM), 1985’s She-Ra Entrapta, and Rouge the Bat of the Sonic the Hedgehog universe.

I’ve got a lot of plans for this lady… Keep in mind, she hasn’t died yet as of BitW… she’s just reportedly missing ;)

[cattimeswithjellie]

cant believe im just now finding out u have a tumblr⁉️ ive read ur hanahaki au fic soo many times now already and i sm in LOVE... ive read so many within the past idk how long ive been reading fanfics LMAO six?? years???? n this is 100% one of the most unique ones (the only one that tops this in uniqueness was the one where the character eventually became a literal plant and died that way and tbh i like this one more bc i hate mcd n heavy angst 🫶) n its SOO good its addicting every fic ive read hanahaki is ALWAYS treated as a super serious thing n while i love that idea this is the first time ive seen it be treated as just a light thing thst everyone goes thru (also the detail of the flowers growing in hair is soooo <33333) n its so great n i am shakign grian begging him to just TELL SCAR YOU FOOL (but also dont yet bc im a bit too in love w this story) waaaaa its so good!!!!!!!!!! i wabt more people to read this n more people to write lighthearted hanahaki aus and just 🫶🫶 i will gladly wait 6+ months for updates on this and look forward to them all the same as i am rn rhats how much i love this fic LMFAO (this is saying something bc i usually will stop reading fics if they haven't been updated by that long😓 i cant get into the email my ao3 account is connected to n i dont wana make a new one so i keep every tab open separately n try to refresh them every day n sometimes they gota be trimmed down yk?? 50+ tabs of refreshing is not fun or good for my phone)

(i am so sorry this is just a giant wall of text .oops 🫶 now that ik u have a tumblr expect this every time u post LMAO)

Thank you so much, what a lovely comment! <3

I'm really glad you're enjoying the fic, I'm having so much fun writing it! I love a good angsty sadfic as much as anybody, but sometimes you just want a little romantic comedy with low stakes and everybody being friends and a few embarrassing-but-not-too-humiliating Situations for a favorite character. And I wanted to write a hanahaki fic because the idea of coughing up flowers to show you love somebody is really, really funny except for the fact that it's painful and fatal. Take that away, make it uncomfortable and barely harmful, and a world of possibility opens up!

I'm hoping that We Could Be Sleeping in The Flowers will wrap up in two or three more chapters because I've already got the ending sketched out in my head, but I'm hoping it might encourage other people to give lighthearted hanahaki stories a try. I'd love to see what folks come up with!

Lessons with Teacher darlingpwease on swan lake was not something I expected. /pos

You learn something new everyday!! ✨️🌟The more you know🌟✨️

But in all seriousness, if that stuff is happening near you and/or people u know, please be safe!! Literally just heard about that stuff this morning, logged on to tumblr and scrolled a bit then saw ur post lol

To be fair you might not even live in Russia but still, just in case fhdjsksm stay safe always but yeah still

-panna cotta

dear cotta, /affectionate /t /maybe light bullying but with love<333

but hey — everyone should know about swan lake<3 a year ago, one of the most popular opposition media channels was banned in country, and they played swan lake in the last broadcast — and it was brilliant hwhwhw<///3 and when I saw her comment yesterday that "we have to wait for swan lake before we understand if this is a real attempt at a military coup or just a staging," I realized that I had to bring it here to you sjhshdhdhdh /hj

I mean, who's going to tell you this if not me, huh? this is elite information, you won't find it anywhere else on the web or in textbooks except for some very strange websites and textbooks. just like that thing about "stealing without taking cars, but in offices" or "cockroach with a mustache" — who if not I will tell you this?<333

I mean, at least I'm not in rostov, where they are now, because if I were there, it would be completely fucked up. I didn't sleep until about five o'clock in the morning, and even for "me not sleeping for a long time", this is unusual, but I was just too nervous and tried to figure out whether it was true or not. it's even more ironic that I was teaching assignments for today's final with my friend at night and complained that this time I wouldn't teach anything because I didn't have adrenaline due to lack of anxiety, and an hour later they started actively talking about this event, so in a sense the universe heard me SHGDHDHDH

unfortunately, I'm here, and this regret has been going on for exactly as long as I am aware of myself sjshdhdhhddhd a country is not a government, of course, but when you live in an atmosphere of the need to be silent and "say one thing in the kitchen and another in the street," it definitely puts pressure on the psyche</3 jokes about "foreign agents" and deleting comments or joking attempts "to hide the meaning" at some point lose the word "joking" you know /hj /neu

also, hi hi, welcome back, babyboo~ <33333

[kimbobbp]

okok your turn!!!!

you’re about average height, maybe on the taller side…?

you had a gacha life phase (affectionate)

you’ve dyed your hair at least twice

english is your favorite subject

you prefer vibrant colors to pastels

you are the chillest person irl but when you get excited about fandom stuff you go all out <3

you like both cats and dogs and hate how everyone expects you to choose

you have fairy lights/leds in your room

just. the sweetest. everyone likes being around you bc youre just. super cool.

anyway most of these might be wrong (not the last one tho <33) so forgive me lolol <33333 I hope I’m right about at least a few of these!!!

ADFHGSDJGFGDSKF ALIEN <3

how. how have you literally gotten literally almost all of them right. w h a t.

i am um. *intense hacking* ⁵'³ *resume intense hacking* i wish i was tall sooossoosososososo bad

i actually have not had a gacha life phase, surprisingly enough. i guess i do the same though, with making random picrews of my ocs and throwing them into scenarios in my head

ive dyed my hair once, though i would dye it multiple times given the chance (my dance teacher might actually murder me if i dyed my hair anything other than brown)

english is my absolute favorite subject. always has been and always will be

I love vibrant and bold colors. I wouldnt say I wear a lot of them, (unless, ofcourse, black counts), but yeah. I have a navy blue room and pink accents. color blocking my love <333

i am (in general) pretty tired chill, except for when i am aggressively projectile word vomiting about jason todd to my poor friends. also when im angry.

i love both dogs and cats. ive had both, so final verdict is. if you want a bastard (affectionate), get a cat, but if you want a sunflower of a friend, then go for a dog

i have banana fairy lights in my room :]

and for the last one.

[leviiattacks]

I loved Ceo Levi so can I request Ceo Levi comforting the reader because she’s in financial trouble? Idk the plot it’s up to you but that sort of idea. I hope it’s not too much of a bother!! Also happy birthday ❤️

author note :: very rushed and not that great at all but i hope it’s enjoyable anon !! also thank u for the birthday wish <333 if you’d like for me to idk expand on this request you can always request again my ask box is open !! <33333 word count :: 1.5k

levi’s worried about you

like super worried

ultra worried

mega, super, ultra worried?????

all the synonyms for large aren’t enough to explain how distracted he is whilst he stares at you from across the table.

the entire team meeting today you’ve sat down with a glazed expression, you’re clearly out of it and don’t want to be present

on a few occasions he notices you gnaw at your lips anxiously and your eyes shift everywhere showing you’re clearly uncomfortable

team meetings are normally two hours long on a monday to discuss production plans extensively but levi can’t even make it to the thirty minute mark before he’s dismissing everyone

“we’re ending early i don’t feel well.”

mr ackerman letting the team leave early again... it’s the second time he’s done it now but HEY, the employees have no complaints!!

levi knows something’s bothering you when you don’t move an inch from your seat

you probably haven’t even heard what he said about leaving because you’re so zoned out

now,,,,levi’s never really been big on physical contact and he’s not great at comforting or using words either but he still double checks the door is locked so he can speak to you privately

you start sobbing as soon as the sound of the door clicks

“y/n, what’s wrong?” he’s cautious in his approach but places a hand on top of yours gently to test the waters

but you only start crying even more ?!?,!,

which panics him because oh my god what did he do...???,?.

did he do something wrong???

you know what, he’s just going to copy what people do in the movies and hope it goes well

your sobs echo through the room and he thanks himself that the cement walls are definitely thick enough for you to not be heard by your colleagues

slowly but gradually you get a grip and it almost looks like you have to force yourself to a halt midway just to wipe the tears at your eyes

it’s at times like these that levi thanks you for having an expressive face because he would hate to not notice you felt this horrible

“i suggest you carry on if you haven’t got it all out yet. from personal experience it’s better when someone sits with you.”

levi’s warm words embrace you and you look at his arms then his heat pressed suit. he’s in a completely different world compared to you and a feeling of sickness soon overpowers the warm feeling in your chest

why are you sitting here and crying like a pathetic fool in front of your boss??

ok, maybe he’s a little more personal than a boss you aren’t sure what he really is but that doesn’t matter

“y/n, i have something to say.”

FUCK. this is it. you’ll be fired for being unprofessional and improper. this is IT. the end of your professional career.

you want to run out of this room at full speed and hurl yourself out of one of the windows never to be seen again...

but,, you won’t do that, that’s embarrassing

instead you steel yourself and look at him with as much courage as you can muster (which to be clear is not very much)

“if you ever need to take a day off for mental health reasons you’ve always been allowed to so please feel free to take the rest of the day off if you’d like.”

he’s... not firing you?

“but before that, would you like to let me know what’s happened? can i maybe help?”

you purse your lips feeling the premature humiliation

he can help, anyone with as much money as him can but you don’t want him to aid you. the guilt would eat you away

but you do want to confide in him and tell him what’s wrong

you want to tell someone about it at least

“i’ve been evicted from my apartment” your voice is barely above a whisper and levi just looks at you mouth agape

he pays you enough to live comfortably

how could you be getting evicted?

“i have to pay for my mother’s medical expenses so it’s stressful i send most of my earnings hom-”

levi shushes you with his input. “i’ll pay off the debt so you don’t be evicted and i’ll also give you a pay rise.”

at that you’re just pure shocked

is he even thinking right now???

because this isn’t the strong willed strategic business man you know

“no??? i can’t leech off of you??”

“you’re not leeching. i am investing in you.”

you’re a little lost now but choose to hear him out

“you work for me already and i greatly value your work. now you’re in a tough position. correct?”

you nod your head in response

“and for you to still work for me you’ll need a home. correct?”

again you nod

“so allow me to pay off the debts. it’s for both of our benefit.”

that however really isn’t levi’s reasoning at all. he couldn’t care less about that, he just doesn’t want to see you shoulder the pain and stress of it all alone

staring at him teary eyed you sniffle

“would you-” your voice cracks and you cough “really???”

you look so desperate and vulnerable and levi feels frustrated for not spotting the warning signs of your struggle any sooner

you had been coming to the office looking more restless, you had been drinking more coffee and despite the excessive caffeine consumption he still caught you dozing off at your desk at least four times

he places a hand on the centre of your back and pats you three times as if you’re members on the same ship

“yes i mean it, take it easy.”

his simple sentence is enough to cause all of your rational thinking to jump away and you drag him in by the neck into a tight hug

you’re ugly crying and you know you’ll look back on this in embarrassment but your mind works on impulse, you’re unable to stop it

usually levi doesn’t like anyone messing up his suits but he can make an exception for you. he’s sure your tears have left a moist patch but he’s not mad. hell, even if you get snot on his expensive dress shirt he’ll be okay with it

“is there any way i can pay you back mr ackerman?”

he winces at the formality of your tone

“call me levi.”

your brows raise at the request

“that’s what i want in return. for you to call me levi.”

????

that’s all???

“oh, well thank you levi. i’m grateful...”

his name rolls off your tongue awkwardly the first few times and even he regrets asking you to call him by his first name

but three days later you’re walking in breezily. a pen is tucked behind your ear and you’re double checking levi’s spending sheet with a calculator in your hands.

levi literally STOPS breathing because you look so refreshed today and the colour is back on your face. you look your best when you’re stress free.

and then you say it

“levi, do you think you could spend a bit less on tea bags because OH MY LORD???”

he notices there’s no longer an air of discomfort to his name and his chest swells happily

“y/n, give me ONE good reason to not spend my money that way??”

you notice how he easily he says your first name with an airy chuckle and you could almost... ALMOST... swear the two of you are flirting

to anyone observing with no sound he looks as nonchalant as normal but really the tone of his voice is implying the suggestive nature of conversation

“maybe you should spend your money on other things you like?” your suggestion is thrown back in your face when levi scoffs choking back a laugh

“i already am spending my money on other interests of mine.”

turning to face him and to hand him a file of paperwork you look him right in the eyes

“and what interests would those be?”

levi’s gaze meander down to your lips before shooting back up to your eyes and you swear you feel a tingle in the pit of your stomach

“i’ll let you figure that out on your own. you’re smart enough.”

you’re gaping at that reply because how are you meant to know???

but, the answer to your question is far more obvious than you think.

and it’s only after work whilst you’re eating dinner that you’re able to connect the dots

he was, talking about...you??

gasping you flush bright pink and bury your face into one of your sofa’s pillows

no way, there’s no way that happened

oh no, but there really is a way

and that way is levi ackerman ;-)

[livvyofthelake]

hi beth :) can u tell me more abt dru i would love to know her energies and origins and vibes <33333

she is literally the best character with the least amount of page time… she’s a campy horror fan, she’s a younger sibling, she’s a gay ally except to her gay brother, she’s the only one of her siblings that understands how healthy relationships are supposed to work (but she’ll never use that information for herself)

basically she’s only 13 in the dark artifices so she’s not allowed to be a Real Main Character yet, but in the wicked powers she’s going to be the most weirdgirl protagonist this franchise has ever seen!! but as it currently stands her main plotlines have been like a) taking care of the blackthorn’s youngest sibling tavvy, who’s only 7. b) being the only shadowhunter who isn’t too cool for movies and then making that everyone else’s problem. c) befriending and crushing on jamie rosales, who is first of all 17, and secondly he’s cristina’s ex bff that no one really likes all that much. and also d) she touched a magic rock a couple times and saw an alternate universe where she met ash (ash is the son of sebastian and the seelie queen. it’s exactly as weird as it sounds)

now i am still holding out that she’s going to be the main main character of twp, even though all the signs are pointing to kit. i just really want her and her weird eventual romance with the evil fairy boy to be center stage sorry kit

[luci-cunt]

hello i am here to inquire if you would be down to share a snippet from ur and moony's sherlock & watson, i will take any and all info you feel like sharing

I lvoe you so much also alkjsdfljas;dlfkjasldjfkas;ldkf yes I’d love to give you the deets. A nonnie asked me for snippets too so I’m making this post 2 parts, this one’s details and this one’s snippettttssss <33333

ok so first of all!!!!!!!!!

Sherlock: in this story is “raised rich, with an older sister (Mycroft, yes, she’s a girl now because I say so). There was always a very severe competitiveness pushed on the two of them because Mycroft was more “normal” aka well behaved. They have an interesting, nitpicky relationship since Mycroft is the golden child of the family but they love one another. Mycroft moved out when she graduated high school to go to college and now works as a high class lawyer, running her own firm. Sherlock on the other hand got shipped around boarding schools before he finally turned 18 and bolted. He’s barely a high school graduate and his father all but cut him off, so Sherlock ended up moving in with a really shitting friend/boyfriend kind of?/ fucking around and discovering his unfortunate predilection for heroine and cocaine thanks to his really, really shitty (now)ex.” Also he cannot deal with owing people anything. Like he calculates out how much cereal/ milk he eats at Watson’s house and how much dishsoap Watson uses to wash the dishes and pays him back for every penny of it. 

Physical description: skinny but reasonably tall, has a difficult relationship with food so he’s lanky as fuck. Moony and I described his as “having and knowing that he has a pretty white boy face which gets him punched on multiple occasions. Also the kind of guy that if you were to run into him in a parkinglot at night you’d probably assume he was going to car jack you. Pretty much just feral. 

The Watson boys: grew up in foster care before getting dumped into a boys home where they met their soon to be brothers--Carrie, Kent, John, and Bill--and thir soon to be dad--Carlton. Bill is trans but hasn’t had surgery so when the ppl running the home find out they decide to send him to a girls home instead, and so the four convince local grouchy police chief Carlton Watson to adopt them all (he helped at the home and bonded with all of them so it made some sense at the time). The boys become the “Watson Boys” which is fine except not because Carlton has no idea how to be a dad so Kent (the oldest of the brothers) takes over at age 16ish and is still bitter about it. (Also Carlton pays for Bill’s surgery/ T). The actual age range is Kent is oldest, then Bill and Carrie (who have birthdays that are like, three days apart and they turn it into “twin week” because everyone in the family calls them the “twins”), and then John, but they treat Bill and Carrie like the babies, and Kent and John as the older bros. John’s also the only brother that didn’t go into the police force (at first) instead going into medicine and then teaching before he met Sherlock. Btw Carrie’s full name is “Carrigan” but everyone calls him Carrie. 

John Watson: withdrawn/ tight laced and realistic to a fault. Pretty much willing to go along with the flow as long as the flow isn’t headed straight towards a 300ft drop into sharp rocks (like it almost always is with Sherlock). He’s very, very particular about his space and being independent/ trying very hard not to rely on other people. He’s also the king of denial and will die with his emotions held wayyyyyyyy down in his chest where he can forget about them. He’s also a demisexual king, which means that when he’s not emotionally connected to someone he doesn’t feel any sexual attraction so he has the habit of “forgetting” that he’s gay because he doesn’t feel attraction for long stretches of time because he’s an idiot <3. 

Physical description: Pilipino, with a round face and chubby cheeks, he’s huge, all the Watson boy’s are actually because Carlton was big on boxing, but also because he eats like he’s never going to see another meal and he’s pretty sure all the whole vegitables in the store are poisonous because he grew up in a house full of idiot teenage boys who only ate frozen broccoli because Kent forced them to. 

Mycroft Holmes and Irene Adler-Holmes: Mycroft is Sherlock’s sister, she’s intense and badass and also will show an emotion maybe when she dies. She is a very successful lawyer who started and runs her own law firm. Hobbies include: pissing off Sherlock. Irene is her girlfriend (at the beginning of the story) and wife by the end, she’s basically if Renee and Allison had a child. Very sweet but will kill you if you’re an asshole. Mycroft is insufferably in love. 

Killian McDoug: Sherlock’s really shitty ex, also this universes’ Moriarty.

Anyways that’s a lot of details I’m sorry aksdlfja;sldfkj I’m very excited Moony and I have been talking about this non-stop for like four days straight. The main premise of the story is that Sherlock watches Watson solve a case and falls in love so he follows him from Portland to Seattle and demands he work with him and solve cases together so they dooooo. They end up falling in love and also have to deal with murder and shit but other than that things are great. 

Sherlock is the living embodiment of a disastor gay and Watson is too but in his own way. There’s fake dating, salads, gays, murder, slow burn, idiots to lovers--aka literally the perfect stew how could you not love it? 

[kazbrekkerrs-remade]

ekrjhak i lov eu and to further enable you: ur thoughts on blue, gansey, ronan and adam and henry? and their group dynamic????? 👀👀👀

Wow this took me ages sorry dfjfhd. Claire... u enable me too much these are my onions <3. Under a cut because I went. overboard :3. I’m probably going to have to shorten this I don’t know if tumblr will even let me post something this long dkshjfhg. (Also I wrote half of this in word so if there’s proper capitalization in places that’s why, don’t let it cloud my image as a cool, laid-back bitch that doesn’t care for grammar.)

i’m starting individually then moving onto group dynamics heh

blue i like blue but it did take a bit of growing on me djjdjhjss. i like her a lot bc i relate to her a lot, but i do think there was a lot of room for improvement. she said she wanted to see the world and make it better but how exactly.. is that a roadtrip? i mean i guess it’s a start in a way, but i think it would’ve been much better if we saw her join an activist organization.. volunteer for a non-profit or something. Also her misguided feminism ah! But I can be a bit more lenient with that bc she was still very young when the series ended so. Also she was revealed to be part tree and then like. Nothing substantial came of it? idk

Ganseyboy! I have to be honest my.. fave uwu. There is a Lot of room for improvement  but I just. Optimist!! insecurities :( also he KNEW he was gonna d*e I’m. sad. Anyway like I said a lot of room for improvement as in like.. not everything is about you king <3 also he needs more… idk I don’t wanna say empathy bc i think that’s something different but like. He needs to realise that what he thinks is best isn’t gonna be the way everyone deals with something, if that makes sense? Like basically the “how do you know what’s good for me?” “THAT’S MY OPINIOOONNNNN!!” vine. THAT SAID I love him so much.. he held up the mouse to his face! And smiled!! mon dieu.. when he made bird jokes to make adam laugh… “am I in your dreams?” AH! In a way, blue and gansey are sons of the same gun: I love them both but there could be more done with them tbh. But I have a lot of fun with Fansey, a.k.a: fatima gansey. Kind of like fanon gansey except no one’s opinion matters besides mine <3 (basically it’s  the *aggressively kicks off shoes* “yee haw”, parts of gansey, and then me giving him the arc he deserves) maybe we could sum it up to “ma’am that’s my emotional support projection character” but like. That’s my business.

ADAM! Previous endorsements include: “might fuck around and become an adam parrish stan account.” “I’ve only had adam for a day and a half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.” “I go :D whenever I see it’s an adam chapter” (these are more or less verbatim from my previous posts.) that said, I don’t have many fully formed thoughts because I uhhh don’t remember the books that well and also I repress the adam chapters bc they hit too close oops :). tbh I don’t have many complaints at all heh. That’s not to say he doesn’t have flaws but a) I will excuse them because he’s justified, adam does anything problematique and I’m like he can have a little murder. As a treat. and b) I genuinely loved his arc so. No complaints for real!! Also.. adam realising he is capable of loving and being loved…. *kermit meme* I have nearly teared up while writing this. :( one more half baked thought: trc having being “known” as a mark of being loved but then adam being like “i am unknowable” and then there was a moment of him with ronan like “how foolish of him to think he was unknowable”.... *kermit hearts meme intensifies*

RONAN O CLOCK to be honest. I. don’t have any meta or complaints I just love him. I love him a LOT okay.. very much. Big love. Sharp edges tough guy but he names his dream animals chainsaw and gasoline and has a pooping blanket for chainsaw… I can’t remember the quote but that but in cdth where he was like the point is dreamer or not if people are going to get hurt I’m going to stop it… Much to think about. HIS GROWTH. IN THE DREAM THIEVES wow can you believe I read him in TRB and was like ‘I don’t care for him’ ddhfjdhf and then in the dream thieves I’m like.. I have rescinded all previous callouts of ronan lynch. Oops. HE LOVES HIS FRIENDS SO MUCH oh my gosh. Ronan just… he has so much range for feeling!! he feels so much!!! I love that about him so much omg

Henry. Ah. This is where we get kind of controversial jdhjdfh I’m sorry but. I’m going to be honest I like him well enough as a character but I don’t care for him much I’m sorry I just. It’s because he was introduced so late. And only became an important character towards like.. the last half of TRK? I mean, I’d have loved him if he was introduced earlier, hell at least have him come into play in BLLB. The issues I have with him isn’t because of anything about him as a character though, I think it’s all about the way he was handled. I think because he came in so late, there just wasn’t enough time to do justice to the depth that he had, or give him an arc or anything, or enough time to connect with him. Also a part of me feels like he was in there just to kind of tie up Blue and Gansey’s stories and give them something to do after the end of TRK (which sucks because like… making your only canon POC being primarily to develop/give your white characters storylines… (blue isn’t white in my mind but like she was written “colorblind” and when that happens it usually means the author viewed them as white at least in the beginning jhfhgfj. but i don’t remember it too well so if i’m wrong lmk please!)). But probably my biggest problem is: I couldn’t help get the vibe that MS was facing criticism for the lack of diversity and so decided to bring in an asian character. Like, I feel that way bc he came in so late, and because of that he was so half-baked I’m.. gah. GAH. That’s unfair maybe henry is a cool dude hdhfg but I just can’t warm up to him because of this :/

Group dynamics!! With the gangsey I have to *sobs* I love them so much I’m.. what a strange constellation they all were <3

blue and ronan!! BROnan amirite… omg. That moment when blue nearly slips and ronan immediately catches n holds on to her… she would have to remember that :( sons of the same gun. Best friends!

Blue and adam.. gah. As friends it really goes hard. Get you someone who will stab you if you fall too deep into the nether-realm <3 but uhh. As dates. YIKES. Blue really just. Kissed noah while dating him. And didn’t even think for a second “I have a bf” :( not very cool of her to tell gansey about the kiss curse but not telling adam which I mean, I know that happened to show that they weren’t a good match but. Still yikes. Blue was lowkey cheating on adam the whole time during tdt huh :( also bro I am number one stan of the “I wish you could be kissed jane” scene but it happened literally RIGHT AFTER she broke up with adam I’m. relax <3. I wish that was kind of addressed but meh, overall it doesn’t bother me too much. I think they’re great friends :)

Ronan and adam… I can’t talk about it too much. I really can’t!! I really really can’t! the fact that adam goes to gansey like what is love and gansey is like she makes me quiet… and then adam is like “he was so still inside”.. :( omg the bit during trb when ronan is going on a swearing tirade and adam is like “they didn’t start making the civic until ‘73 <3” what a JACKASS I love him. Second secret!! --okay! Wait I have to say: while this one is not really a big deal compared to all their other moments, my favourite quote is “ and he realised that while he’d been looking at ronan, ronan had been looking at him” :uwu face:

Blue and gansey: :3 :33333 maybe it’s the muslim but I really like the tragedy of not being able to kiss :( I would beg just one off you! Under all this! Maybe I’m crying because of the inherent romantic-ness of the night sky with all its stars and late night drives :( wow I love them. Also i know most people find it annoying but I personally love the “I’m never gonna fall for this person” *fast forward to getting to know each other* “ahahah. :) I have rescinded all callouts of ____. she is now my girlfriend (long story)” (not to be confused with enemies to lovers <3 (not to be confused with enemies to friends to lovers <3)) also they can kiss now thank you very much.

Okay I will just preface this with: gansey’s relationships with both ronan and adam have the “how do you know what’s good for me” element to them so I don’t have to address it later hdfgjlfj but bro they love each other so much I’m… “dream me the world… something new for ever night” you’re leaving for TWO DAYS.. gansey gave up monmouth omg what became of that I really forgot khffhk did he get it back. I don’t even need to elaborate on ronan, “ronan would do anything for gansey” :(

ADAM AND GANSEY I been WAITNG for this one! Turn it up! Bro if you saw the whole face I made when I realised it was time for this kdhfhfkhu this is so loaded despite the fact that I cant articulate it <3 the.. idk what to call them. Parallels? Foils? I didn’t take lit sorry but he RANGE we could have had there… remember when gansey was shocked in trk bc :0 you guys came with me and also “they had run for him”. bro their whole relationship had so much. Tension because of their different backgrounds and fundamentally different outlooks because of their backgrounds, and I think if we had seen them properly connect then both of them could have grown from that. I know we see adam understanding gansey a bit better I don’t remember when that happened but I know it did at some point hhdsf but gansey.. never does! Huff and puff. It’s really so FRUSTRATING to me bc that could have key development for gansey but also for adam and gansey’s relationship. And also I feel like we didn’t.. see them try either? Which is so frustrating like idk if it’s a fault on stiefvater’s part or just with YA lit in general that platonic relationships are kind of ignored. Or maybe it’s because idk I remember ms saying she had a lot of issues while writing trk.. but still. We could have really had it all but instead I have to live with “don’t break him adam” I’m (: ok but now I must lighten the mood hjsdhf so might I add: when one of them sees the principal in his crazy funky junky hat and goes “yee haw”… when gansey is like :DDD hey ADAM guess WHAT and adam is like ? and gansey is like oh it was a fully casual problem with the ALTERNATOR of my car of COURSE it was the alternator, it was really simple and I fixed it with much ease :D and adam is like :’D felt like the had hatched a baby bird.. my uwus. ADAM! give me an idea! ALSO if anyone will allow me to venture into adansey territory…. the fact that adam is cabeswater’s magician and gansey now.. is cabeswater in a way. MUCH to think about. I still spend a lot of time thinking about the dryad au the problem is I have never been to progress past the “vague concept” stage of stories and this is why I don’t write dhfjhfdhf. But yes. I think about it often :3

i also like the henry with the gang, i think it could work really well but once again it wasn’t given the time for me to really see it :( also. ronan being racist. and adam laughing along with that. why was that included, ms turn on your location i just wanna talk

okay once again thank you for enabling me claire and i’m so sorry for this monster dsjkhfjkdhg

Hello. I was going through my bookmarks and came across your work, again. I hope you're doing well, and that your father is doing better. Your work always puts me in a great mood, and you turned me onto Elementary! Thank you, for both 💜 Hiding Places is easily one of the best things I've ever read, not just in the Barisi fandom. Sending you lots of love.

Thank you so much for this message, anon, and for thinking of me, and for remembering my work.:)

I’m doing OK. Work has been crazy busy but productive, and about a month ago I got a bit of a promotion (I am now a senior associate) and a small lol raise.

Unfortunately, however, my dad is not doing well at all. He deteriorated pretty rapidly over the past month (for those who may not know, he has cancer which is now metastatic) and, sadly, it’s now a matter of weeks/days until he’s gone.

Which is why I haven’t been able to post or be online almost at all. I go to work, and then me and my brother basically take shifts watching over my dad, because he’s deteriorating more and more by the day. On the bright side, he’s not in pain (just turmoil) and he’s lucid, so we’ve pretty much said our goodbyes and we’re all coming to terms with it, and with the fact it will really be for the best.

I also want to thank you for mentioning Hiding Places. It’s really special to me, because I wrote it right after my dad was diagnosed, and it’s literally what kept me sane and focused during that entire summer of 2016. So I really appreciate your words.

This time around, I have my job to keep me sane. It’s way more demanding than my last job, and it allows for my creativity to be expressed (not as much as writing, lol, but just enough), and thankfully my colleagues/superiors are very understanding of my situation, so I’m able to balance things as much as possible. I haven’t had much time to write, though, or read fic, or do anything else, really, but (for better of for worse) that’ll be over soon.

I’ll need to take some time to mourn (although I’ve been doing that for a while now), and then hopefully I can return to Barisi, and finding balance and catharsis through writing. It really helped me when I lost my mom in 2015 (why, yes, life has been terrible, why do you ask?) and I think it’ll help me now, too.

I appreciate and love each and every one of you for still being here, despite the fact I can’t be, and I can’t write for you right now, or post for you like I did. Thank you for still remembering and referencing my work

That said, SVU itself is the last thing on my mind. I don’t have the energy to bother, not when every single spoiler (except for an LGBT character! Finally! Cue JoJo - “Too Little Too Late” though tbh) has left me cold. I’m glad it’s still out there, doing its thing and breaking records, and Peter is as handsome as ever, but, like, I’m good luv, enjoy.

(unless the show magically improves, in which case I’ll give it another shot. Who knew I’d miss Barba so much? Oh wait, everyone did lol.)

Elementary, on the other hand, continues to be emotionally resonant and well written and impeccably acted, and I’m happy it’s kept me company through these hard times. The upcoming 7th season (!!!) is giving me something to look forward to. This show is the definition of comfort viewing, and I could really use some comfort :)

Thanks again, everyone. Life has been kicking me in the ass for the past 3 years, but I’m still here.

I love you all

"it wasn't anything special," says albert. haha this reminds me of something i get annoyed by... i hate when a highly skilled artist says this after making an amazingly good-looking artwork!! they're like "this is just a quick 10-minute doodle. sorry it's so ugly," and yet, it looks waaaaay better than my artwork *sob* *sob* *sob*

okay, that's a nice shot of albert's gorgeous body <3333

makoto knows about odin??? aaaaah he's so smart!!!! lol i had no idea who odin was.

so albert is not an alien, but a god?!?!?! and... haru's mind has been torn apart?? ;__;

STUPID GUY!!!!! he asked everyone else to leave, but i think he should give a married couples exception for makoto to go talk to haru <3

rin and sousuke meeting again ^_____^

that shirt rin gave him is so kawaii, lol. i wanna see him wear it tho.

rin being a little embarrassed was so precious!!!

*dramatic pause* A SUCCESS!!!!!!! (yay!!!)

I HATE HOW THIS SHOW GIVES ME SO MANY FEELS, UGH.

rin isn't crying. he has pollen allergies that make his eyes watery, or something.

i know it was just a fist bump but it was the most romantic fist bump ever <33333

haru, come on, text makoto back pls ;__;

mako is so sweet, he apologizes when he did nothing wrong XD

just fyi, i am trying to watch this episode while eating and i keep forgetting to eat because i am too nervous lol

"i heard something from a friend..." uh, who?

massage?? =) =) =) sounds like a good idea to help haru =) *prays to kyoani writers to create this scene* PLEASE? ...PLEASE? ...PLEASE? ...PLEASE?

what happened to nao's eye? if this has already been revealed, then i forgot ^__^U

mako leans down while talking to masaki, that's a little detail i noticed that is so cute <3333

wait, we didn't find out who nao's "friend" was...

even ladybugs are attracted to makoto's awesomeness. hey if i were a ladybug, i'd land on makoto too.

mako's phone is vibrating. IT'S HARU!!!!! ... no, it's not =(

omg what??? congrats, rei!!! and to think, he didn't even like swimming.

i love how a dark cloud just randomly appeared behind rei lol

nagisa mentions how everyone is going to see each other in tokyo... omg, there's going to be a big reunion!!! =D i am so excited!! =D

haru suddenly becomes this magical fairy tale prince. okay, i'd watch that anime. XD

omg makoto looks adorable in that outfit. <3

"BKC NANASE" LOL WTF GOU. what is wrong with you. XDDDDD

hahaha makoto's facial expression is like "uhhhh this is kinda strange"

makorin date yaaaaay XD all right, to be honest, i kinda ship it. >////< like, not seriously, but like... kinda sorta. a little bit. they are cute together!!!

um, that thing is not cute at all. ^__^U

rin, how are you calling someone else weird when you have shark teeth????

makoto being so happy about sousuke's surgery is melting my heart... (but my heart has already been melted many times this season so i don't understand how it is still melting more and more...)

makoto (casually): oh btw, haru swam an IM. rin: *spits his drink out all over makoto* WAIT WHAT?!?!!?!??!?!?!? hahahahahaha

rin is so dramatic, like he is about to lead an army into battle. but he's just going to go with makoto to see haru. XDDDDD

whoa, haru looks mad o__o

hey coach... don't be so hard on haru!! it's not haru's fault that he lost to an alien god.

no, haru wasn't always this competitive. he is acting out of character...

haru's like "this is stupid, i'm outta here." lol.

there is really dramatic music during this casual conversation so it's kinda weird

"he doesn't listen to a thing i say." but that's because what you're saying is confusing and vague.

"i haven't looked at my phone in two weeks" huh??? how are you a young person in today's world who doesn't use their phone??? something is extremely wrong here. XD

hahaha i figured this would happen. makoto would explain things in a way haru would understand. of course haru understands mackerel, hahahahaha, makes sense to him!!!

i love how haru took a moment to think about what mako said. that was funny. ^__^

rin is like "good, i approve of this mackerel teaching method."

i can imagine that haru is pretty surprised to suddenly see rin appear out of nowhere!!! o__o

"i was swimming, but it didn't feel like i was swimming." huh???

soft piano music in the bg, awwww it's so cute.

huh? makoto heard what rin said, through the windows? either rin was talking very loudly or makoto has hearing superpowers. XD

"what can i do?" asks makoto. well, makoto, i have an idea. why don't you give haru a massage, like nao instructed you to do earlier in this episode????? come on!!! (okay, so maybe that's not exactly what nao said, but that's what i heard!!)

yes, mako knows haru well, but it's also true that he is good at reading people in general, not just haru. of course, haru is the person he can read most of all, but makoto can also read others.

wooooow that little part with haru taking off his swimcap and shaking his head as sparkling drops of water fall around him was one of the most magical moments of my life and i will cherish it forever.

"don't tell him that." makoto should totally tell him that. =P

i literally laughed out loud at the timing of haru (and rin) walking into the room. haru, you should have come in just a little bit earlier and then you would have heard what was just said about you that you weren't supposed to hear!! lol!!!

haru is so confused like "why is he a good coach? he's just annoying."

ugggghhhhh, makoto, you are not listening to me. -___-UUUU you are blatantly ignoring what i said. i said give HARU a massage. you've got the wrong person!!!! ;___;

misaki doesn't really know all the specific examples you're talking about, makoto... ^___^U

"i'm sure swimming with natsume-kun again will open your eyes, too." well, idk about that. i thought haru was the only one who has the power to give people epiphanies while swimming with them...

well this is awkward. misaki and natsume aren't happy to see each other =(

his goggles flew off??? i feel sorry for his eyes, then! XD but i guess this is the "opening your eyes" makoto was talking about hahahaha

awwwww that is so sweet. natsume was happy for just a second and then he held back because he didn't want to make misaki feel bad awwwww ;__; ;__;

...but misaki was a good sport and congratulated him anyway. okay, it's official: these two kids are extremely adorable!! =)

why is makoto so shocked that he helped misaki? that's kinda the entire point of his job. XD

makoto has a new dream!!!! he's so fired up and determined. aaaah i love him so muuuuuch <3333

aaaaaaand here comes the iwatobi crew. this will be fun!!! =D

ummm okay, that's it. the episode's over... i am sad because that was a fun episode to watch. i really liked it, and that's because this episode had a lot of makoto in it, so of course i'm going to like that. XD and i just loved seeing makoto discover some of his own strengths. he even figured out his new dream at the end. he's just so special!!!! he is someone who has a positive impact on other people around him, and that is so clearly seen. it makes a lot of sense that he wants to be a trainer. he knows how to bring out the potential in others, because he can understand their feelings and figure out the best way to challenge them and encourage them.

oh, and... as of now, it is a real, true, canon fact that makoto is good at massages, which is yet another thing that makes him more perfect. <333333 this is really important to me. no seriously, this is something that matters to me a lot. this is like if the writers had thought, "hmm. what can we make makoto do that would be the #1 most amazing wonderful thing that sachi-pon would love???" it's like they read my mind and are trying to appeal specifically to me!!! ^___^ this is exactly what i would have thought of... uh... i mean... already thought of. okay, i thought about this a long time ago. >///////< but now this has gone beyond my fangirl fantasy and is a real thing that exists in the actual show. XDDDD hooray!!!!!! *waves pom-poms like a cheerleader* now all i need is a scene of makoto using his massage skills on you-know-who, and i'll be fine. ^__^

yes, i do have a problem with being too addicted to makoto. no, i do not intend to see a doctor. i intend to live with this problem forever. <3

wait... were there other people in this episode too? i forgot about everyone else besides makoto. uh, oh yeah. there was haru. he was so sad after the loss, but i think he's starting to feel better now, so that's good. i was getting worried when he wasn't texting makoto. =( don't do that anymore, haru!!! ;__;

also, there was rin, and later, makoto, finding out about sousuke's surgery. both of them had such excited reactions!!! and yes, rin, you cried, admit it!!! (haha) but yeah, it just shows how much those two care about sousuke. i loved those moments!!!

i am so happy for the big reunion in the next episode. i think it's going to be a little crazy, but definitely a lot of fun!! and of course, rin and haru's big showdown. who will win?!?!?!? also, what about the mysterious alien god????? how can anyone defeat him? the only way to defeat him is for haru to... TURN INTO A MERMAN!!!!!!!!!! (yes, i am still talking about merman throughout this whole season)

The Raven King, Chapter 3 – Andrew Does Shit No One Expects Him To, Pt. 1

In which we prepare for more Serious Orange Sportsball Business, the picture-perfect princess quote happens, Andrew develops new levels of Interesting™, Kevin is a Grade A jealous boyfriend, and have I mentioned I love Wymack enough recently?

Sounds good? Then it’s time for Nicki to read The Raven King.

           Thursday’s practice was more uncomfortable than Wednesday’s was. (…) The problem was what Dan and Matt had noticed Wednesday night: the team stood to be so much greater without Seth on the line.

Yaaaaaaaaaa… That’s what I’m saying… I’m so sorry about this but it’s the truth…

           For the first time in Fox history, the team was a unified force. Dan and Matt could see that, but Neil saw the guilt on their faces and heard the catch in their words when they spoke during breaks. They didn’t want to find the silver lining of Seth’s death, and they were hesitant to exploit it.

S a m e  oh god why  :’))))))))))

In other – although related – news: It’s game day, once again!! I’m actually quite pumped for this one although I didn’t think I would be. I don’t expect much in terms of sports excitement (again, I just can’t get hyped over ball pass descriptions of any kind), but I’m very interested to see what their teamwork will look like now – and by interested I mean I’m already dying prematurely.

Spoiler alert: No actual sportsball gaming this chapter yet. In true Fox manner, we’re getting served some Angst and Other Emotions™ of various colours.

Kicking things off with ya boy Neil:

           Neil hadn’t been directly responsible for someone’s death in years, though he knew how many people died in his mother’s quest to keep them safe.

What do you mean “directly responsible” are you telling me you’ve actually killed a man or two some years ago, bOI WHAT THE FUCK, especially since you must have been sixteen or younger then BOI WHAT THE FUUUCK.

           Neil never wanted to be his father, but he didn’t want to turn into his mother, either. They were different kinds of heartless and Neil, for all his problems connecting with other people, didn’t want to be a monster. The way this season was starting, though, maybe it was inevitable he’d turn into his parents.

:’))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Next up, there’s ya girl Allison – who has had far too little to say so far, wtf, how’s she doing anyways??

           At first glance it was like nothing had changed, but more than a split-second look showed the fight had gone out of her. She sat with her fingers laced together and hands look between her knees, her shoulders slumped and expression dead.

Not good, then. Poor bby. That was to be expected, still – poor bby. <3

There’s a bunch of quotes a few paragraphs ago, though, that rang a bell with me…

           Allison Reynolds was a bewildering choice for Palmetto State. She looked –

LIKEAPICTUREPERFECTPRINCESSBUTSHECOULDBRAWLWITHTHEBESTOFTHEMONTHECOURT.

Seriously, that quote was the only thing I knew about Allison before reading the book, and I knew it by heart before ever touching the first page. If I see this scrawled across one more aesthetics moodboard I’m suing.

           Surprisingly, it was Nicky who found the strength to cross the room towards her. He crouched in front of her, moving slow like he thought she’d run off if he startled her and gazed up into her face.

           “Hey,” Nicky said, soft and nice like the two of them hadn’t spent all summer cutting each other down on the court. “Is there anything we can do?”

NICKY MY DUDE <333

           Wymack and Abby were conspicuously absent. Neil wondered if Wymack was late on purpose. (…) He was giving the Foxes a few minutes to adjust to Allison’s return and grief. It gave them a chance to see her before Wymack forced their attention back on Exy.

WYMACK MY MAN <33333

Also, 10 bucks says Wymack and Abby are making out in his office to pass the time.

When Wymack does return, he brings some pretty fucking shit news though – that everyone saw coming, though it does not make them any less shit: As they are now down one striker and neither Kevin nor Neil can play full halves, they needed to make some changes in their line-up. Most of these changes are pretty whatever, save for one thing:

Andrew will have to play both halves – meaning he’ll either play drugged, or show that he’s got more self-control in his pinkie than I have in my entire body.

(Which is not a lot since I literally ordered two new cosplay wigs yesterday despite having exactly No Fucking Money, but you get my point.)

           Nicky was persistent. “Coach, this line-up is insane.”

           “Yup. Good luck.”

This is such a Wymack response and I love it.

Kevin, however, is more ah, let’s call it insistent, on voicing his concerns:

          “What’s going on?” Kevin asked. “You can’t last a full game without your medicine.” (…)

          “No, probably not.” Andrew sounded far too cheerful for someone who was going to spend half of his night in serious discomfort.

I’m very, very intrigued to see where this is going.

          “He’s done it once before,” Matt said.

          “Yeah, last October. (…) Coach asked Andrew for a miracle, and Andrew gave us one. He made Coach come up with a number between one and five, and that’s how many points he let the other team get before he shut them out. It was probably the most badass thing I’ve ever seen.”

It also sounds like the most EXTRA thing I’ve ever seen.

But also badass. Holy shit. I would have paid good money to see that.

(I may actually have paid good money to see that because the books aren’t over yet and I did, for once, pay for them, hAHA)

However, apparently Kevin is decidedly not liking the retelling of that beautiful story.

          “So you’ll try,” Kevin said through gritted teeth, “because Coach asked you to.”

Ohhhhhh, someone’s jealous.

Maybe try being a kind fucking person for once and people might be more inclined to do things you ask them to. Just a suggestion, mi amigo.

Also, are we going to get to see Amazing Prodigy Super Talent Goalkeeper Andrew at last because I need it.

          “For eight months you told me no. In eight seconds you told him yes. Why?” (…)

          “It’s just more fun to tell you no.  That’s what you wanted, right? You wanted me to have fun. I am. Aren’t you?”

          For someone so small, Andrew made a lot of noise when shoved into the lockers.

I actually had to laugh at that last line. This is the perfect literary version of a good comedic cut and I love it.

          Neil didn’t know what amused Andrew more: Kevin’s violence or the splash of blood that now stained the front of Kevin’s shirt. Neil hadn’t even seen Andrew take the knife out, but it was in his hand in the air between them.

Fuck, funny times over. ANDREW, WHY.

STABBING THINGS IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS, ANDREW.

(Which is, I feel, yet another entry on the list of Things That Are Probably Not Exactly The Foxes’ Motto.)

          “Kevin, Kevin. So predictable. So pathetic. How about a tip? A reward for all your hard work, or something. Ready? You’ll start having more success when you ask for things you can actually have.”

          “I can have this,” Kevin said, voice thick with frustration. “You’re just being stupid.”

And you’re just being the most stubborn motherfucker I’ve ever seen in my life, holy shit.

Say it with me, kids: A little bit of kindness, empathy, and giving in occasionally goes a long way.

          Neil understood Kevin’s anger. He’d been equally baffled this summer when he first saw Andrew play. It was impossible – should be impossible – for somebody so talented to care so little.

And I have to admit, I absolutely understand their anger as well, and I share it. If there’s one thing in the world that makes me want to weep to the heavens more than anything else, it’s potential being thrown away.

Kids. If you have anything you’re good at, better than at anything else –  HOLD ONTO IT. Doesn’t matter if it’s sports, arts, sciences, languages, social activism, fuckin’ jewellery-making, I don’t care, anything. Keep it, nourish it, take care of it and make it great – let it make you great. Doesn’t matter if you study it, make it your job, or just pour your energy into it on your free time. If I catch any of you wasting your potential I will whoop your asses in friendship.

Rant over, on with the story.

Anyone fancy a bit of good ol’ Wymack to wrap this chapter up?

          “[Andrew] doesn’t seem like the kind of person who can be bought.”

          “He’s not,” Wymack said. “If I asked him to do it for free he would. The only reason he’s getting something out of this is because I know what it’ll cost him to play tonight.”

“But why?” (…)

“Maybe you’ve noticed how much I let this team get away with,” Wymack said. “I know what sort of people I recruited and I know some of them need a little help to get an even keel. So long as no one gets hurt, no one gets caught, and no one is stupid enough to bring it on my court, I don’t care what you guys get up to in your free time.”

Aka Wymack turns a blind eye on the debauchery his team indulges in, knowing it helps them be more stable on the court when they have an outlet in their free time, and thus earning their trust and respect. Fuck yes, this is exactly the way to run a dysfunctional team like this.

Say it with me, kids: A little bit of kindness, empathy, and giving in occasionally goes a long way.

Bless Wymack for getting this, and in fact bless Wymack for just generally existing.

          “Does Andrew know you know?” Neil asked.

          “Of course he does.”

          That was interesting. Andrew knew Wymack could keep a tighter leash on him and was choosing not to do so, so when Wymack needed him to pull through he would.

EXACTLY. Take notes, Kevin dearest.

Wymack <333333333333

          “Andrew likes me as much as you do.”

          There was nothing in his tone to make it an accusation, but Neil still winced. “I’m sorry.”

          “Be sorry while you walk. We’re running late.”

I would say I’m sorry for dissolving into a puddle of “I LOVE YOU” every time Wymack appears and says literally anything, except I’m really, really not. That man is a treasure and haters can exist stage left.

[sovtwords]

i just read you found me and bestie 😳 i sat here for a good three and a half hours and read the whole thing in one go AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT !! kind of a rant ahead so i’m sorry in advance hehe

the whole story was so beautifully thought out and i absolutely fell in love w each person’s characterization. the time atsumu frowned when he saw lilies on mcs desk flew over my head but i later on noticed and gasped so loud my dog woke up LOL i just realized you never used y/n (right or did i just never notice) and i think you are powerful for that. it just gives the mc more freedom and room to be interpreted in whatever way while still maintaining a personality that fits the story. also himari’s my absolute fave and she’s best girl sorry i dont make the rules

in you should have found me my heart absolutely broke for osamu because it’s so clear how different the twins reaction would be depending on who got the girl. osamu was always a bit more selfless in general but in that fic the way it was established that even years later atsumu would still be affected by it just screams ab how different they really are. i hope osamu got a happy ending w someone he loves and loves him back, he deserves it

the whole thing was a ride, the way that there was so much push and pull and frustration made me scream omg. the situation with tomi was so stressful and nobody should have to go with that kind of abuse (bc it is abuse no matter how anyone looks at it! and i love that you recognized it as so) and blackmail. the fact that mc didnt blame atsumu for getting with tomi because she too was with someone else (fuck daishou and mika too lw i thought she was cooler than that 😡) so its nice that she didnt outright blame him, bc i sure as hell would LOL but anyway. the way that these two felt so strongly ab each other and were so patient and still loved each other thru all the shit theyve gone thru makes me so happy bc a love like that is so pure

high school tsumu was a little shit and he (respectfully) needed to get decked but the way that he learned and did better and even tried to make tomi realize that too was much needed and appreciated. the thing with this fic tho is that no one can really blame anyone for how they acted (except tomi and daishou like cmon man do better) bc its so raw and human of them. atsumu was young and in love but didnt know it and was terrified of what everyone would think of him, which is valid esp bc his whole life, people have been telling him that osamu is the better twin with a better personality and whatnot. and you cant blame mc for leaving bc getting bullied like that and having the one person you trust turn their back on you hurts

still my heart absolutely goes out to osamu. i saw somewhere that atsumu is the one who gets seen and osamu is the one who is liked, so they both have this underlying resentment (i dont think thats the right word. jealousy?) to each other. bc when you heard miya youd think of atsumu but once they got to know both twins, it’s osamu they like. i feel like osamu is more known as atsumu’s twin sometimes bc he’s just the one thats more out there, yk? but atsumu just being grateful for osamu made me so happy and osamu being happy for his twin and mc made me even happier even tho he was hurting inside. give him a happy ending im begging you my tiny heart hurts after you should have found me pls tell me he’s happy and moved on

also let’s all thank yuta for getting along w mc to begin w LOL he’s second best after himari 😌 bokuroo dynamic was a much needed addition and i love them more than anything, same vibes as hanamattsun like chaotic gay bros who’d tear down the earth for the ones they love 😪

i feel like i still have so much left to say but this is already super long and im sorry for that. you found me is now one of my fave fics (probs my fave atsumu fic i loved it that much) ever and im so grateful you took the time to write it. thanks for the journey and im looking forward to your fics (im gonna binge rn 😈) and future works! stay hydrated <3

BESTIE EYE- KASJAASUDFHYAS I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START BECAUSE I'M CRYING

Firstly thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a long and detailed message with such kind words, i literally did not stop smiling the entire time I was reading it oml i was so giddy reading it

I'm so glad you caught onto those little tidbits i left in the story, i tried to have meaning in every tiny details so it makes me happy that you caught onto them! And you're right! I didn't use Y/N in the story at all, or any of my stories! I kinda feel at times using anything like Y/N or (name) feels a bit clunky? It kinda takes me out of the story, so I try not to include it in my stories at all, and either use a nickname or nothing! ALSO I'M SO HAPPY YOU LOVED HIMARI AND YUTA!!

Your analysis of how different the twins are and their dynamic with each other in not only HQ but my fic is just CHEFS KISS MWAH it's so good and you really hit the nail on the head. Like you said they're both winners in different ways; Atsumu is the star boy who gets noticed for his talent and charisma but Osamu is the better liked twin in the end because of his personality and calm nature. I think the twins are just so interesting to write about that way, how they love differently and approach life dasjfhasd will definitely write more with the two of them in the future

I really screwed over Osamu in 'I should have found you', didn't I? LOL I need to do my boy some justice in future stories i write, whether they're related to You Found Me or not. But rest assured he had a happy ending regardless of whether he's in a relationship or not! He's taking life step by step and finding success in his job and with his friends! <3

I guess the thing I wanted to focus on in this fic is that everyone goes through some sort of struggle in some way. Even someone like cocky, hotheaded atsumu feels the weight of pressure and to act a certain way because its expected of him. He may not have dealth with it well at first (he was a kid tbf!) but what matters is how he grows from the hurt and learns how to do right the second time. I am a sucker for 'right people, wrong time' tropes after all hahaha everybody deals with shit, so it's important that they all found someone to lean on

I don't ship much but Bokuroo is my SHIT i just love really stupid bros that are in love and every day is a wild ride, like matsuhana too ajhsdfhsd

Seriously, thank you so much for even reading my fic, let alone sending such a sweet message. I'm beyond happy that you loved it, and to call it one of your fave fics just makes my head explode LMAO

I do hope you enjoy the other fics (trash) I write, my mind goes in a million directions and I can only hope ppl understand what i write HAHAHA

THANK YOU SO MUCH MY LOVE, I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY <33333
