The One With Friends

Pieces of My Heart - Chapter 7 Stray Kids OT8 x reader, Soulmate AU

Masterlist | Next Part

It was a unanimous decision to have you leave the venue from the back and walk over to the entrance to wait in line with the rest of the crowds. None of you wanted nor needed the attention you could get if someone noticed you coming from backstage.

It’s for that very reason you made sure to hide your backstage pass deep in your bag, pulling out the upgraded tickets that the boys’ manager got for you.

You sent out a message once you got into line.

Soulmates

Y/N Guess who’s about to see Stray Kids live? Image.png Felix Omg really? Lucky Jisung And you didn’t invite me?!! How dare you （ > ﹏ < ） Chris Enjoy the concert. Felix Oh yeah, they’ll enjoy it alright ;) Chris Felix …

You let out a laugh, which quickly turned into cooing when Felix sent a selfie with a reluctant Seungmin, and you quickly closed your phone before anyone around you could see it (but not after saving it to your phone first). The line wasn’t moving just yet, so most people were either on their phones like you or chatting with each other.

You got into a fun conversation with the boy in front of you about your favorite choreographies, and then the girls behind you caught wind of your argument over how easy Maniac’s chorus really was and decided to start dancing to it. This caused the others in line to start cheering, and you were quick to film the moment to send to the boys later.

Once the doors were open and people were being let in, the line started to move quickly. Since you had arrived a little bit later, it took you a while to get in, but the conversations you enjoyed with other fans and the occasional text to the boys more than made up for it.

You found your seat easily, a girl with bright pink hair and a tall lanky boy with glasses sitting in the spot next to yours. You didn’t think much about it, sitting down and about to text the boys that you were inside the venue when the girl suddenly turned to face you with a blinding smile.

You turned your phone off to hide your chat.

“Hey, I love your outfit!”

You blinked at her. “Umm, thank you! I love your hair.”

“My name’s Sophie!”

“Soph, please. You can’t just start spontaneous conversations with every person you meet,” The boy piped up, placing an arm on the girl’s arm.

Sophie pouted. “But I really did like their outfit.”

“It’s okay,” I reassured. “I really do like your hair.”

You introduced yourself to Sophie, who then introduced the boy sitting next to her as her boyfriend, Alexis.

“Don’t mind him, he thinks it’s embarrassing to be as friendly as me.”

“I never said that. I think it’s adorable, but I know not everyone does,” Alexis argued.

“No, you just think I’m adorable,” Sophie corrected.

You let out a giggle. “You are kind of adorable.”

“I know!”

Both of you laughed. You spent the next few minutes chatting and getting to know each other, and you found that you had a lot in common with Sophie. The pinkette was easily excitable and a bit loud, which made her bias being Han unsurprising. Alexis was also surprisingly a Han bias, and you found yourself gasping when they admitted that they had met at a fan sign and were fangirling over Han next to each other in line.

It was like a moment out of a movie when they realized they were soulmates, sharing a hidden soulmark that they discovered months into dating each other.

“Have you met your soulmate?” Sophie asked, smiling at you in such an endearing way.

You returned the smile. “Yeah.”

“Oooh. Are they a stray kids fan?”

“I sure hope they are,” You said with a laugh.

The lights started to dim then, and the both of you immediately grew silent for a split second before the music started, and then everyone started to scream. Even though you had spent the past two days literally in the arms of the men who would be performing, you screamed along with the others in excitement as they came on stage.

You knew just from the double take Seungmin made in your direction that you were going to be teased relentlessly for it later, but in that moment, you couldn’t find it in you to care. Sophie echoed your screams, and the both of you shared a brief look in your excitement.

During the next 2 hours, the two of you would sing along to the songs, laugh at the members antics, and chat with each other during the moments between songs. When Sophie made a mad dash to the bathrooms the second the fan dance cam began, Alexis leaned over to whisper to you.

“Hey, thanks for not brushing her off. It’s nice to see Soph having fun with someone else.”

You frowned. “Yeah, sure. I mean, she’s really cool. Do people … brush her off a lot?”

“You’d be surprised,” Alexis told you.

When Sophie returned, since the next song had yet to begin, you took the opportunity to ask her for her number. Her face lit up in excitement and astonishment, and you found yourself feeling annoyed that anyone could ever push her away. Sure, she was a little loud and overly excitable, but it seemed like you were the first person to ever want to be her friend.

You made sure to periodically check in on her for the rest of the concert, which ended far too soon.

"That was amazing," Sophie gushed.

"I know!"

"Did you see when Han hugged Seungmin from behind? Ugh! So cute."

"Or when Changbin winked at Hyunjin and then got surprised when Hyunjin winked back. I was laughing so hard!"

"Babe, what was your favorite part?"

Alexis hummed, moving to grab Sophies waist when she stumbled trying to walk backwards. "I might be a bit biased, but when 3racha were singing their song, Han was looking a little too fine. I'm pretty sure a couple people died when he stuck out his tongue."

"Ugh, a menace that man is. He does it on purpose, I swear."

You laughed at them as they pretended to fan themselves, and as you walked with the pair towards the exit you suddenly remembered your plans to meet the boys backstage after the show. The route you would need to take was in the opposite direction to the exit you were heading towards.

You paused.

"Hey, it was really nice meeting you two, but I actually have to head over that way," You told them, pointing towards the other exit.

"Hmm? Oh, I was going to offer you a ride back to your place since you mentioned not having a car … are you going to uber?"

"Nah, my … my soulmate is going to give me a ride."

Sophie nodded. "Cool. Do you want us to wait until you meet up with them?"

You blinked, letting out an awkward laugh. "Oh, no. That's fine. I think they're already here anyways."

This time it was Alexis who spoke up. "We can walk you to their car. Its dark out, it might not be safe for you to be walking around alone."

"No, really. It's fine," You assured them, finding yourself panicking. "Really, its not that far."

You were touched by their worry, and if this was any other situation you wouldn't have hesitated to accept the couple's offer. But you couldn't exactly have them see you get in a car with Stray Kids without it spelling out your situation in large bold letters.

Sophie frowned, looking very much like she'd like to continue to argue with you, but Alexis just nodded.

"Fair enough. You should let us know when you get home safe though, just in case."

Your shoulders slumped in relief. "Yeah, that would be great."

You exchanged numbers quickly, and you gave the pair a quick wave as you turned around. The stadium was almost empty at this point, most people already having made their way out through the exits and leaving behind a handful of staff members who started cleaning up in their absence. You almost ran head first into the chest of one of those staff members as you turned around, and you took a few steps back with your hand raised.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there."

The staff member gave you an easy smile, and then proceeded to say your name with a questioning tone. Sophie and Alexis looked back from where they had begun to leave.

You nodded your head slowly

"Your soulmates sent me to get you," The guy said cheerfully.

You froze.

The staff member motioned for you to follow them, and you only managed to get a glimpse of Sophie as you shot a look over your shoulder. Her brows were furrowed in confusion, and you gave her a quick wave, hoping the panic that you were feeling didn’t show on your face. You didn’t get to see if she returned the wave as you turned around quickly to make sure you didn’t trip over the piles of confetti that other staff members were sweeping up, and if you weren’t so confused and worried, you might have offered to help them.

Chris was waiting for you outside the waiting room, and the moment you caught sight of him you rushed past the staff member to hug him.

“I think I fucked up,” You groaned.

He patted your back. “What happened?”

You explained the situation as he led you back into the room, and not even the sight of a shirtless Felix could make you feel better. The others listened in as you explained how some random fan might have enough information to put together the puzzle pieces to who your soulmates were.

“Sophie seemed really nice, and I don’t think she’d ever do something like that, but … ugh!”

You expected them to be upset. But you were surprised when Chris simply smiled at you, telling you not to worry. The others looked more or less unphased at the news, Hyunjin even leaning back into the couch with a pout, saying something in Korean. Changbin nodded in agreement, running over to steal you out of Chris’s arms.

“I don’t care if world finds out. You my soulmate, I am proud.”

“But you’re idols. This kind of news could ruin your career!”

The group began to protest, but Changbin cut them off by grabbing your face in between his hands so he could look you in the eyes. “I have your initials on my body since the moment I was born. I have always knowed that I belong to you, and I don’t care if everyone else knows. Only thing that matters, is you.”

“Binnie-“

“Also, I want to sleep with you tonight.”

You brain froze. “Come again?”

“Hey, hey!” Jisung protested.

Chris sighed. “Poor choice of words, Bin.”

Changbin looked around at the others, his face twisting in confusion. “Ah, Minho sleep with you last night. I … want my turn?”

“Oh, yeah. Right.” You let out a giggle. “Of course you can sleep with me tonight”

“Poor choice of words!”

“Get your mind out of the gutter, Felix!”

0o0o0

You ended up seated in between Seungmin and Jeongin on the way back. While exiting the venue, the boys told you to hide, so you squeezed yourself down onto the floor until you were far enough away that you could get back into your seat, nearly falling into Jeongin’s lap as you did. He pulled you into his arms as soon as you were next to him.

“Jagi, did you enjoy the concert?”

You nodded enthusiastically, immediately gushing to both him and the others in the car (Chan and Minho) about your favorite moments and how much you enjoyed the concert. Halfway through your explanation, Seungmin reached over and grabbed your hand. You didn’t falter for a second, intertwining your fingers as you praised Jeongin for his performance to Thunderous, and you cooed when he got shy and tried to hide behind his hands.

“Leave the baby alone, love,” Chan told you from the front seat, his face betraying his own amusement.

“Poor baby bread,” You played along. “So shy now, but you definitely weren’t shy during the concert. Don’t think I didn’t see you wink at me during Red Lights.”

“Hmm, don’t think I didn’t see you fanning yourself when he did,” Seungmin said.

“Man, why would you call me out like that?”

The boys all laughed, and you giggled along with them. When you arrived to the hotel, you all split off to get ready for bed individually, and you took the opportunity to send a message to Sophie that you were back at your hotel. She replied immediately.

Sophie

Sophie That’s great!!! So, about your soulmate … Y/N I know. I wasn’t sure how to explain. Sophie You could have just told me that your soulmate was a staff member. I think it’s sweet they sent a coworker to make sure you were able to get backstage. Y/N Oh. Yeah. I mean, I needed to be safe about it. Sophie No, yeah. I understand. Just out of curiosity though, did you get to meet Stray Kids. Y/N Haha, Yes! They were amazing! Super nice, it’s a shame I didn’t get any photos or an autograph. Sophie Man, that does suck. But you’re so lucky you got to meet them at all.

You felt a little bad about not telling Sophie the truth, but technically you didn’t lie. You just … didn’t tell her the whole truth. It took a huge weight of your shoulders. As much as Changbin and the others insisted it wasn’t a big deal, you knew just how vicious the internet could be to idols and other celebrities when they found their soulmate.

You would protect them for as long as you could.

Hey I was wondering if you were still taking requests and if you are could I get a hawks x reader nsfw? One where the reader is super stressed from starting a new job and Hawks tries and find ways to distract her? Maybe starting with flirty jokes to them ending up in bed? Or them watching a movie and not watching the movie at all because hawks again has *other* ideas...

Stress reliever

Paired: hawks x fem! Reader smut

A/N: this is for all the hawks simps, it's been a while since I written about him but hopefully this satisfied all of you👁👁 ( I'm super sorry that this was in draft for the longest but I hope you enjoy this and worth the wait. ) I've been craving shigaraki content lately but now y'all simps are finally getting some hawk thirst content hope y'all enjoy😉💕

Warings: very horny needy hawks + ton of petnames + body massage/body worship + creampie + breeding kink + dirty talk.

"Come on baby, you're been working too much." Keigo whined at you, you were working on papers from your new job.

You start working at an elementary school teaching the little ones how to learn the alphabet and reading. At first it looks pretty easy but it's quite stressful. You want to pull your own hair out whenever the children start fights or cry out for their parents. It's not fun when your boss is strict, you sigh heavily and stretch a bit.

"I can't keigo, I gotta work on these papers. It's very important." Keigo lets out a dramatic sigh as he's leaning in to pull your waist close to him.

He gives soft light kisses on your neck, you would be very annoyed by this but you find him too cute being extra needy.

"I got an idea.." He pecks his lips to your ear, he's sound... Like he was breathing heavily.

"How's about I give you a nice massage?" He purrs softly, you thought about it but everytime he does it, it will lead him wrecking your insides each time. You look into his amber eyes as it has want and need as you let out a long sigh.

"Okay fine... But no funny business, just a few minutes." Oh you shouldn't have trusted him, keigo's smirk grew big... Very maliciously.

He removed his arms around your waist but he still wanted you so he pulled you up and you were basically dragged into your shared room.

Keigo grabs the lotion, one of his favorites, as he turns to you.

"Take your clothes off my dove." You raise your eyebrow at him.

"Is to help with the body message." You chuckle as you shake your head at him.

You slowly remove each clothes off making keigo stare a little longer on your soft naked skin now being revealed.

You lay on your stomach on the soft cozy sheets as he takes his time to warm his hands.

You look at him with little annoyance by his slow pace. The squeezed of the bottle echo in your shared room.

You let out a groan and felt his hands on your shoulder giving a few rubs, he moved to your back with soft strokes. The sweet smell of vanilla hits your nose as you lay your head to the side looking at keigo doing the work.

Things were going great when he grabbed hold of your cheeks, spead it a bit wide then he bit his lips to hide his groans.

"Mhmm your ass is so tender angel." Keigo squeezed more lotion onto your ass as he continued the massage.

You whine at his fingers kneading your soft skin. The fingertips trace your stretch marks and cellulite.

" So perfect… beautiful baby. " he hums softly as he continues to rub your skin.

Keigo groans out loud, you turn your head to the side to see him drooling at your beauty, his red wings spread out. 

Keigo leans in to whisper seductively." Bet you will be even more beautiful with your belly being swole and round." He lay on top of you, grinding his hips softly, feeling his member get hard. 

" seeing you being sweet towards those children… fuck~! " he nips at your neck as he pants quietly. 

" Just think about it… our own little mini me looks just as beautiful as their mama." He goes to your ear as he begins to breathe heavily.

" let me have you… just please~.. do it for me yeah? " you couldn't find words to answer as you nodded your head letting him do whatever he pleases. You can't say no to your pretty boyfriend who is needy and wants you.

Keigo groans out as he leans away." Good girl. " he gently pulled his pants down a bit.

" Such a good girl~. always looks pretty for me. " you gasp out feeling his fingers sliding inside your hole.

" So wet for me my sweet dove. "The fingers go in and out as a slow tease way making you squirm, you start to get needy too, whining and move your hips back with his thrust.

" ahh not too fast baby girl. " he bites his lips as he holds your hips down. " You don't wanna end too soon yeah? " add two more fingers as he begins to go a bit fast.

You roll your eyes backwards as your saliva slowly slides down your chin.

" please kei… I want you please~. "Keigo hums softly as he rolls his hips on your thigh.

" Hmm, I thought you wanted to do your work. I can leave you alone after all~. " you can hear his teasing sing song voice as you feel his fingers sliding out as he begins to remove himself. This is how he always gets you every single time you get a body massage from him.

" no no no please don't~!! " you cry out as you try to grab his coat back.

" keigo stop teasing me already, I want your cock so bad~! Please don't leave me. " work every time as keigo has a smirk on his face.

" alright baby~." He pulls more of his pants down releasing his hard manhood.

He tapped your entrance as he's still teasing you, you whined out.

" please keigo… fuck me please~.. " you pout at him as he bite his lips hard, he can't say no to his beautiful baby.

He slid inside your tight velvet walls as he groaned out, the feeling is always incredible, he can't get enough of you and your voluptuous body.

He hump your behind, rolling his hips at a nice and slow pace. Your body is covered in sweats, his musky smell linger in your nostrils as you melted away. You grab the sheets for dear life as he pulls fully back to slam your inside, the drool dripping down the bed as it starts to shake uncontrollably by his thrusts.

His large hand finds itself on your neck as he chokes you a bit.

" my beautiful baby girl~ taking me so well.. auhh fuck~!!! " you choke a bit of your saliva but you didn't care, you were intoxicated by him and his thrusts made you lose your voice. Your mind is clouded with lust and only thinking about him and his pretty cock inside you.

He grabbed your hips upwards as he began to pound harder and faster, the loud skin slapping skin echoing in the room as you cry out his name for more.

" I can't last any longer.. mhmm cum with me, pretty girl and I'll give you your reward for being good to me." He whines out, the fingers sliding your soft skin to your core as he begins to rub your clit the way you like it.

Your toes curl in as you begin to reach your end. You cream around his throbbing cock as he goes faster at pace, his thrust becomes sloppy by the second.

" there it comes~ take it take it fucking take it all dove~!! " he chants your name over and over again as you feel the flow of his cum filling you up. The warmth inside feels nice as you mewling sweetly at him.

You lay there exhausted as he gives kisses all over your face, he pets your hair softly as he coo at you.

" don't worry about the paper babe, I'll help you out." You mumble something as you close your eyes shut.

Keigo gets off of you as he watches his cum slowly come out of your hole, he pulls his phone out to take a couple of videos and pictures of you.

He always loves it whenever he is alone to get off on the thought of you getting pregnant by him, it makes his heart swell with delight.

Keigo put his phone back into pocket, he leaned in to give you one last kiss as he walked away to where your paperwork is at.

You're having a good, nice sleep but you already know it's gonna be a long night once keigo finishes your work and comes crawling back to your shared bedroom.

[dreamerforever-d]

Well.. I am just gonna rant here right now.. ignore me. Or not.

I just watched “Happiest Season”, because after Agatha all Along I am obsessed with Aubrey Plaza, and yeah, I know, it took me soooo long and wtf is wrong with me, right?

Anyways, I’ve watched it.. and I didn’t like how it ended?

I mean, maybe if I wasn’t so biased by Aubrey’s perfection, I would’ve gone along with it, but… I mean, Riley (Aubrey’s character), was SUCH a better company and better match to Kristen Stewart’s character!!! I mean, she was out already, and she was so open and such a fun person to be around, it seemed…

They went out to drinks, and she took Kristen’s character to a bar where drag queen’s were singing Christmas songs. (Jinx Monsoon was one of them and I LOVE her, so it made me so happy).

Since they first laid eyes on each other, the chemistry was screaming, at least to me. The looks they’ve shared.. how both characters were so easy going and really just themselves around each other.. *sigh* During the entire movie, the only times I’ve felt that Kristen’s character was not uncomfortable, was when she was with Riley.

Anyway, at the same time I understand that the girl had a very problematic family… and when I say very, I mean very! ( I was so fucking mad about the way they treated the ‘least favorite daughter/sister’, she was the sweetest one of them all and deserved better!)

But in my eyes, even when she was not with her family, she was just a different person from the beginning of the movie. She seemed extremely shallow to me.. and the fact that she stayed until 2 am with her ex boyfriend, that she KNEW her girlfriend didn’t like, I think that was also a dick move, even if nothing happened.. it was still so weird to me.

But anyway, it is what it is..

BUT since I’ve always been a fanfic writer, always had a BIG imagination for fictioning things and a hopeless lesbian, I hoped that the one who was in the red car in the end was Aubrey.

Spoiler alert: it was not.

Anyways, disappointed… but it is worth to watch because Aubrey is amazing (and super hot) in it.

That’s it, thank you for coming to my ted talk. Sorry for the rant. And have a good night.

Devin's Dude Ranch: Episode Two (Part Three)

*as Devin enters the house, Houston is standing near the kitchen. it appears he's been waiting for her. her face instantly lights up when she sees him*

Devin: "Well hello there, stranger."

*Houston grins*

Houston: "I may be strange, but to you, I certainly never want to be a stranger."

Devin: "There you go again. Knowing exactly the right thing to say."

Houston: "I'm just speaking from the heart."

*they share an intense moment of eye contact, and after a few beats Houston speaks up:*

Houston: "Would you like to go somewhere more private and talk?"

Devin (softly): "Yes," *she clears her throat, regaining her confidence* "Let's go upstairs."

*the next shot opens with Devin and Houston standing in the library*

Houston: "I have to be honest. I've been dying to get time with you all night."

*Devin's cheeks redden slightly as she battles the smile the threatens to break out*

Devin: "Is that so?"

*Houston takes a step closer*

Houston: "Yes. I want to know everything there is to know about you."

*Devin laughs nervously*

Devin: "The funny thing is, I suddenly can't remember a single fact about me...You're ummm..."

*their eyes meet*

Houston: "I'm what?"

Devin: "Distracting."

*Houston grins and takes another step closer*

Houston: "I'm sorry. I don't mean to be."

*Devin bites her lower lip and looks away*

Devin: "It's okay. I forgive you."

Houston: "I have an idea. Why don't we just take turns asking basic 'get to know you' questions? That way you won't feel put on-the-spot while you're...distracted."

*Devin smiles up at him*

Devin: "That sounds like fun. You go first."

*Houston nods, considers his first questions for a moment then responds:*

Houston: "What was your first horse's name?"

*Devin's eyes twinkle as a look of recollection passes across her face*

Devin: "He was a Quarter Pony that my Dad bought me when I was five. His name was Chevy. Because my Dad had a Chevy truck and I liked the word....and I was five."

*they both laugh*

Houston: "That's a really cool name for a horse, to be honest. You had good taste even at five."

*Devin shrugs and smiles*

Devin: "Okay, I guess it's my turn now," *taps her foot as she thinks* "What's your favorite movie?"

Houston: "Oh, that's an easy one. The Big Lebowski. What about yours?"

Devin: "I've never seen it. I mean, I've heard of it. But I've never actually watched it. And is that your next question?"

Houston: "Ah, you're missing out. It's a damn good movie. And yeah, I suppose that'll be my next one."

Devin: "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. It's a favorite from childhood that I still re-watch a couple of times a year."

*Houston looks puzzled*

Houston: "I don't think I've ever even heard of it."

Devin: "I'm not surprised. It's your standard horse-girl movie."

Houston: "Well, you know what this means, right?"

*Devin looks at him questioningly*

Houston: "One of our first orders of business should be a movie night. A double feature."

*a smile begins to spread across Devin's face*

Devin: "I would like that."

*Houston smiles in return*

Houston: "Then it's a date," *the two share a moment of silence as they look into each other's eyes before Houston speaks up* "Your turn."

Devin: "What do you do for work? Or are you a full time poet?"

*Houston chuckles*

Houston: "Poetry is more of a hobby; a creative release. I'm a mechanic by trade."

*Devin studies his face and considers her next words before replying*

Devin: "Is that how you got the, uh..." *motions toward his face*

Houston: "Scars?" *he smiles reassuringly* "No. Those are from my time as a soldier."

*Devin nods, still studying his face*

Houston (softly): "Do they bother you?"

Devin: "No, of course not. If I'm being honest," *she glances down, bites her lower lip and blushes before finding the courage to continue* "I find you really *bleep*ing attractive."

*Houston smiles and glances away*

Houston: "I, uh, thank you," *looks back Devin* "I'm sorry. I'm not used to being complimented. Especially by someone like you..."

Devin: "Someone like me?"

Houston: "Someone as incredibly beautiful and amazing as you. I mean, I feel like you're a thousand miles out of my league..."

*Devin exhales sharply*

Devin: "There go all those right words again."

Houston: "You mean the only words. The truth."

Devin: "I'm not 'out of your league' though," *she now takes a step closer to him. they're only inches apart* "I'm just a regular girl, looking at a man that makes her heart race...."

*Houston, without missing a beat, puts his arms around Devin's waist and pulls her against him. she reaches up and gently cradles the side of his face, her thumb tracing along his scar. the pair lock eyes*

Houston (whispers): "What are you doing to me?" *gently tightens his hold on Devin* "I know we just met, and this is going to sound crazy, but *bleep* I really like you."

*Devin smiles and bites her lower lip*

Devin: "It might be crazy, but I really like you too."

*Houston grins widely and the just look at it each other, in that way where they're both waiting to see who goes in for the kiss first*

*Devin leans in, closes her eyes and gently kisses Houston's cheek. he smiles and leans into it*

Houston: "Does this mean you're going to send everyone else home now?"

*Devin laughs and gently shakes her head*

*the camera then cuts to Devin in the diary room*

Devin, in diary room: "You asked me earlier tonight if I had any top contenders so far. I'm comfortable answering now. Houston. Our connection is....intense, but also effortless. And I've never felt chemistry like that. It's so...electric. I'm really, really excited about him. I have to see where this goes."

Houston, in diary room: "This has been the best night of my life. Honestly. Devin, she's...incredible. Better than incredible. I don't even know the words. And I've never felt a connection with anyone like this before. My heart feels like it's on fire right now!"

*as Devin descends the stairs, Handra quickly makes his way over and waits for her*

*Devin stops at the foot of the stairs once she notices him. she smiles in greeting.*

Devin: "Good evening, Handra."

Handra: "Good evening, Devin. I was wondering if you'd like to take a walk out to the pond?"

Devin: "Sure! Just let me grab my jacket first."

*Handra beams*

Handra: "Okay. I'll wait here."

*the next shot opens with Handra and Devin walking toward the pond, their arms are linked*

Handra: "Have you had a good first night with everyone?"

Devin: "I have, yeah. Everyone has been really nice so far. But, I'm excited to finally get some time with you, Mr. 'You Stole a Pizza My Heart.'"

*Handra smirks*

Handra: "I'm glad to finally get time with you too. It's been tough waiting. It seemed like every time I went to approach you someone else got there first."

Devin: "Yeah, it's seemed pretty aggressive all night, the, you know, the trying to get my attention. It feels a bit weird."

Handra (teasingly): "What? You're not used to dating five guys at the same time?"

*Devin's laugh rings out in the cool night air*

Devin: "Certainly not."

*the pair reach the pond*

Handra: "So, are you tired of talking about yourself yet?"

*Devin chokes out a single chuckle*

Devin: "Oh my Watcher, yes!. But, I mean, that's what this whole process is about, right?"

Handra: "True. But, if you want to talk about something else we can. I'm just happy to spend some time with you."

*a smile lights up Devin's face*

Devin: "That is so incredibly sweet and considerate of you, Handra. Thank you."

Handra: "You're welcome. So what will our topic of conversation be?"

Devin: "I want to talk about you."

*Handra smiles sheepishly*

Handra: "Alright. What do you want to know?"

*Devin considers her first question for a moment before answering*

Devin: "What do you do for work?

Handra: "I used to be a pastry chef, but now I"m a rancher."

*Devin nods*

Devin: "Interesting! That's quite the switch. What made you decide to get into ranching?"

Handra: "I grew up on a farm in Henford-on-Bagley, so I've always known this life. Growing up, I wanted to be a chef, though. So, when I became an adult I chased that dream all the way to San Myshuno. But, when my Mom got sick, I moved back home to help with the family farm. And after she died, my Uncle took it over and moved here to start a new life. That's the short version, anyway."

*Devin's eyes search his face and she looks amazing*

Devin: "Wow. That's crazy. There are some incredible parallels in our stories. I also grew up on a ranch. Training horses is all I've ever known. And when my Dad got sick, I found out he was signing over the family ranch to his brother instead of me. So, I used my inheritance to move here and buy this ranch."

*Handra lets out a long puff of air*

Handra: "That is crazy. And to think we've been in the same 50 mile radius all this time."

Devin: "Literally neighbors. Brought here under such similar circumstances."

Handra: "Well, regardless. I'm glad we're here, together now."

*Devin smiles up at him as their eyes meet*

Devin: "Me too."

*Handra returns the smile*

Handra: "What else would you like to know, love?"

Devin: "Uh," *falters for a moment before regaining her confidence* "Here's an important one. What are you looking for in a relationship? Out of this?"

Handra: "I'm going to be completely honest with you, because that's who I am. I'm here because I'm ready to settle down. I want to get married and start a family...with the right person. And if it turns out we're that for each other, well, yes, that's what I'm ultimately here for. As far as what I want out of a relationship? Honesty. Kindness. Mutual respect. Passion. Friendship. A lifelong adventure partner. All of that."

Devin: "That sounds...yeah. That sounds perfect. Thank you for being so open."

*Handra flashes a sideways smile at her*

Handra: "Anything you want to know....I'm your open book."

Devin: "Okay, then. What's something you're scared of?"

*Handra looks confused for a beat and then stifles his chuckle with his hand*

Handra: "Random, but I like it."

*Devin shrugs*

Devin: "Just trying to keep you on your toes."

Handra: "I appreciate it. Ah, let's see," *takes a moment to ponder* "Heights. Thunderstorms. And bears."

*Devin nods in approval*

Devin: "Fair answers. I mean, all of those things could kill you."

Handra: "Exactly! What about you?"

Devin (teasingly): "Oh, no. We weren't talking about me, remember?"

*Handra laughs*

Handra: "Fair enough."

*Devin crosses her arms and purses her lips*

Devin: "Really deep open water. Sharks. Getting buried alive. Oh, and spiders. I hate those eight legged *bleep*ers."

Handra: "Also all fair answers."

Devin: "Thank you."

*a chime can be heard coming from the house. the pair turn to look before returning their attention back to each other*

Devin: "I suppose that's our signal to go back."

*Handra sighs*

Handra: " You know what they say. All good things must come to an end."

Devin: "Do they though?"

Handra: "I suppose not. We could run away."

*Devin laughs*

Devin: "But we should probably go back in."

Handra: "As you wish."

*as Devin and Handra make their way back to the house, Handra reaches for her hand. together they walk hand-in-hand all the way back*

Handra, in diary room: "I don't feel like I got enough time with Devin, but if I'm being honest, I don't think I will ever feel that way. She's just so much fun and so easy to be around that I found myself not wanting it to end. I like her. I really do. Watcher, I'm so lucky for this chance."

Devin, in diary room: "There is this deep level of maturity to Handra that is so appealing. What's that saying? He's wiser than his years. And we are on the same page on so many different levels it's crazy. There's definitely a connection there, but it feels like it may be a slow burn. I don't know. I may need to get some matches because we don't have time to let it smolder. 6 weeks ain't that long."

*the next shot opens with Devin closing out the Welcome Home Cocktail Party*

Devin: "I just wanted to thank you all for an unforgettable night. I've really enjoyed getting spend time with each of you. The connections we've started to form all feel unique and I hope you're looking forward to exploring them as much as I am over the coming weeks."

Devin (continues): "But for now, your rooms are all waiting for you upstairs. Get some rest, because tomorrow the competition officially begins!"

And what if none of their souls were saved? They went to their maker impeccably shaved

My own little spooky challenge for the month!! Two of my favorite things: Sweeney Todd 07, and giving fictional characters government assigned fursonas!!

Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett - Dalmatian and Red fox

When I started this, I KNEW I wanted Todd to be an animal that was black and white. The monochromatic theme in Depp's version of Sweeney is SO Tim Burton that I wanted to preserve it. ALMOST settled on a skunk, but the thought of dalmatian spots mixing with blood spots was TOO cool of a concept in my eyes. TBH there WAS a time when I was tempted to make him a fox, because Sweeney TODD. Get it? But I held off because I didn't want to reuse specific animals TOO much. Speaking of which-

Mrs Lovett was always a fox from the first second. It fits her entire character (Seductive, trickster, lots of red, not to be trusted) FAR too well. The way her ears are posed are also supposed to bring a pair of horns to mind. Something DEEPLY wrong with this woman <3333

Lucy Barker/Miserable Woman - Afghan hound

PROBABLY a very uninspired and obvious choice, but...I wanted to draw ''hair ears'' lmao. Sweeney describes her blonde hair as one of the only things he remembers about her, so I wanted a dog breed that naturally had long blonde hair about it. I de-saturated her colors for her ''Miserable Woman'' look to make her look sadder and dirtier.

Anthony and Johanna - Mutt and Golden dalmatian

Yes I KNOW they look like Scamp and Angel okay. The inspiration was intentional but I might've accidentally strayed...TOO close to the source.

Johanna was one of two characters that took me on a bit of a trip. First she was an Afghan just like Lucy, then she was a doe, but I decided to have a little more fun with her. I made her a golden dalmatian, with the ''dalmatian'' coming from her father and the ''Golden'' coming from her mother. I imagined she's a bit like Oddball from 102 Dalmatians, where she's actually ''blank'' aside from the spots on her face and the two on her shoulder (she gets these ones from Todd) The black on her ear is also from Todd. I could have chosen the easy way out and made her look like her mother, but in my own silly way I thought it'd be fucked up if she looked like her father, considering the scene they share near the end of the movie.

Anthony is a sailor, so I gave him a very ''Sea dog'' mutt look. I just kind of...combined a bunch of traits and characteristics that I thought would work for him. You can see a LITTLE of Toughy from LATT in him, only because I liked the eye patch and all the scruff.

Tobias Ragg (aka Toby) - Bat

Toby was a fun one!! Oh, look how adorable he is!!! Since Toby has the final kill of the movie, and he kills Todd at that, I wanted him something small and cute but...potentially very dangerous. I settled on a bat, because they're very cute and they can carry rabies!!

And yes, that's his wig he's carrying. Didn't know how to portray him holding a pie, and I wasn't about to draw him drinking a bottle of gin, so I thought his little wig might be cute. He was honestly one of my favorites to draw <3

Adolfo Pirelli - Ring-tailed lemur

Pirelli is a ring-tailed lemur for two reasons. The first reason, is because since all the other animals are quadrupeds, having a bipedal animal felt more ''exotic'' to go with how he's seen as very special and from out of town. It makes him stick out naturally as someone of note.

The second reason he's a lemur.......is because he's played by Sacha Baron Cohen in 07.

Beadle Bamford and Judge Turpin - Hyena and Vulture

Yeah I'm just gonna come out and say it - Beadle Bamford is one of my fav characters in this movie so I made him a Hyena out of pure favoritism. Having Timothy Spall play him the same year he was Nathaniel in Enchanted was just for me, I think.

Originally, Turpin was a lion. Because...Bamford's a hyena...and they're the villains...sooooooo....yeah. And I WOULD have stuck with that, but....he's described as a vulture in No Place Like London. And while I knew my designs didn't have to adhere to that...I felt like ignoring it would have been stupid on my part. Glad I stuck with it, since...I gotta admit it works REALLY well for him. I've never drawn a vulture before, and it was fun to try something new anyway <3

[fanfic-inator795]

Happy 3rd Anniversary Arlo the Alligator Boy! ^v^

As someone who only just joined this fandom late last year, I still wanted to celebrate its anniversary, as this little film has managed to mean a lot to me in such a short amount of time.

When it came out in 2021, I can remember seeing maybe one or two YouTubers talking about it but not many others, making it easy to just brush off. It wasn't until December 2023 when my friend @toondandy convinced me to give it a watch - and I'm SO happy I did! ^v^

While I can't say it's my favorite movie of all time, it's certainly in my top 25 simply through being such a happy and positive experience that I just really admire and appreciate for being so genuine with its heart and its charm. As someone who enjoys fun characters above all else, I love the chemistry between the cast and the found family aspect, I love the absolutely spectacular animation and music of the film, and I love the themes of body positivity, identity, optimism, and the importance of community.

By the time I joined the Arlo fandom, it was pretty much dead (which was to be expected, given that this was a Netflix fandom that hadn't seen any canon content in forever - though I did enjoy going through the backlog of adorable fanart I now had, haha, shout-out to @vanillaearwig for helping keep this new lowkey hyperfixation of mine going through their incredibly cute and really great Arlo art ^v^) but while I was somewhat disappointed, that didn't stop me from thinking about these characters nor did it stop me from sharing the movie and TV show with my brother, my best friend, and another online friend of mine (who I later commissioned to make me an Ansel plush, which I still love to bits! ^v^)

So yeah, tl;dr: Wish I could've watched the Arlo movie and show when it first came out, but hey- better late than never! So yeah, happy 3rd anniversary to a wonderful film and show that (despite Netflix still being a bit of an animation garbage fire rn) I hope gets a sequel or another sort of final follow-up sometime in the future ^v^

Also, for the record: My Top 5 favorite characters in order are Ansel, Arlo, Marcellus, Furlecia and Teeny Tiny Tony; my Top 5 fave Arlo songs are Better Life, Something's Missing, Beyond These Walls, Beautiful Together, and More,More,More; and my Top 5 I Heart Arlo eps are In The Blue With You, Make A Fish, Be The Turtle, The Shedding, and Swamp Itch.

cupcake, warm milk, pillow, pastel, soft fur, meow !!

Cupcake - Do you have a comfort food? If so, what is it?

OH YEAH- my comfort food is quite literally kung pao chicken (no green peppers, add broccoli) from the Chinese food place down the street from us. they literally know my wife (tho they think she's me bc i always order) bc i am spoiled (read: they are VERY affordable) and xe will pick it up for me basically whenever im having a bad day and we have takeout money available and it never fails to make me 300% happier until i finish the leftovers

Warm milk - What is something that makes you feel comfortable?

my headphones c: they are over the ear and noise cancelling, i wear them 90% of the time i am not at home, and in general if im having discomfort but idk why I'm usually reaching for those first

Pillow - What are five (or more) things that make you happy?

non-living things/experiences only for this (bc if not my wife, cats, and closest friends take up slots 1-8 easy): the leather cock ring my wife tried buying that fits my wrist better (its really fun to clicky clicky and also is a cute bracelet and also makes me blush knowing what it was supposed to be for), seeing children expressing themselves through their clothing in public (UGH 🥰💞), seeing people with their friends/lovers and being able to tell from the laughter/loving touch that they're in their own little world together, movie nights at home (or at least somewhere i feel safe to unmask), CHICKEN SPAGHETTI THE WAY MY AMMA (mom) MADE IT, basically Any food but esp soup from my mami (grandmother), ummmmmm g-d this list could go for a really long time tbh so I'm gonna cap it but tbh a lot of things make me happy also, its not a very hard feeling to make happen for me

Pastel - What is your favorite color?

😭 g-d okay i had to use a color picker bc i wanted to give a very accurate representation of the orangey yellows and purpley pinks i like so oranges/yellows: dd9220 ffbe67 f2b40b pinks/purples: cfb5d2 ff4fd3 a8548f

Soft fur - How are you feeling right now?

honestly could be better, this morning was weird and now im itchy bc my skin is dry from the cold but im also leaving work rn so my mood will Definitely increase for sure in the next hour once im home

Meow - Share a random fact about yourself, please

ohhhh ummmm let see.....OH I have photos of my uterus in a folder somewhere because when i was 17 i had to have emergency surgery bc of a ruptured cyst and even though all i remember is Immense pain, i was apparently sobbing begging them to take pictures of my insides while they were trying to put me under for the surgery. i did this AGAIN when i was 18 and had to have my appendix removed (again, emergent surgery), and they did give me the photos but i lost those when moving

[amazing-spiderling]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. spread the self-love ❤

HECK. Ummmm okay okay... I'll do my best.

Surface Tension

I'm taking this opportunity to highlight a fic that I wrote for an anthology I put together with a team of *very* talented writers and artists, Metal Gear Solid: Lost Years. I had wanted to tell a story about Hal's isolation and vulnerability in his youth, the aspects of his past that made him an easy target for predatory behavior- and even though this story isn't particularly long, I think it's the one I spent the longest working on (in a words per day sense). Writing this story made me dead sure that Kojima was referencing the movie "The Graduate" when it came to the Emmerichs, and I tried to channel that sort of listlessness into this story. Because it was for a zine, I don't think it got many hits or comments, so I'm putting it here now.

The Man in the Mask

My own little "hit in the face by Apollo's red playground ball" of a fic- I actually wrote this Spideypool AU to deal with my frustrations regarding the handling of asylum seekers at the border- but the pandemic aspects of the story ended up hitting very close to home for everyone just a few years later. Fun! This is one of those stories I thought of as a "weird one that nobody read" but when I looked at my actual hit counter, I saw it had proven more popular than I realized, so that's good for me? It's a bit of a bottle episode that is more about Wade and Peter than Deadpool and Spider-Man and has a more sedate tone for most of it, but I'm partial to the way the story unfolds.

Pictures of You

Another Metal Gear story, this was for the Otasune Zine "Let the World Be". I got to team up with the incredible Harshai who did the illustrations for this story in the zine. It's a collection of moments during Dave and Hal's Philanthropy days, each one with an accompanying photograph. It's a pretty soft one, but one that comes to mind a lot, especially when I'm in the car and staring out the window at the landscape, thinking about these two on the open road. It also comes to mind every time I see a ridiculous food challenge posted on a restaurant wall. I need to see about getting permission to share the art in the posted fic, because I think it really adds something, especially the last image which was a polaroid of Sunny besting Hal's time eating the enourmous burger.

Five Years Later

Yeah, it's a WIP. What are you gonna do about it? Back from hiatus, it's the second installment of a "mostly MCU compliant" Spideypool "met as childhood friends" AU that my friend @343enderspark and I have been working on for years. In this portion of the story, Wade is dealing with life in a world without Peter (oh, and half the population, I guess) and slowly starting his journey of training and eventually becoming the person he was meant to be. (And the Defenders show up because I literally could not resist.) I got to try my hand at writing a lot of different characters in this fic, so it's been fun to flex those muscles. We had a long break between the first and second chapter, but we're back on track and CH 3 is drafted and waiting on edits, so that should be out soon. :3

Home's Around the Corner (It's a Long Way There)

More WIPs? Yeah. More AU's? Double yeah, because this one is more or less an AU or an AU. XD This is a new project I'm working on with @blissful-thinker that's Earth-65 but a step to the left, where Matt wasn't adopted by the Hand, but ended up staying with the Chaste, and returns to New York City years later only to find out he doesn't really have a place in his old home anymore. (Or does he?) This one has been a lot of fun and allows me to write one of my favorite things- tired DA Nelson, and also too-big-for-her-britches Gwen, haha. It may be niche, but it's *my* niche.

[mymelodyisme]

18, 27, 32, 34, 38, 44 😍😍

😄HELLO LIBBY MY LOVE!! Asdfghjkl I started this last night and then didn’t finish it but here we are back at it again 👏🏽

18: A quote I live by

For once I can easily answer this!! Something I’ve always said and you can probably find on this blog is

“I am nothing if I’m not kind.”

🤔 “nothing if not” means to a strong degree or very but like that’s not the way I see the sentence. 🤣 nothing if I’m not. All this to say I will be kind otherwise I become a version of myself I don’t want.

Hooraaaay for me twisting language in my grubby little fingers🙌🏽

27: My favorite book I read for school

Of Mice and Men! And Little Women. 😭 I was so in love with Laurie. Funnily enough I HAVEN’T seen the newest movie yet. I’ve seen clips but my head says I’m not ready. Soooooob

32: A little known fact

Oh no 🤔 okay I share so much I don’t even know what I haven’t shared. Uh I do happen to have a list of fun facts or something let me go take a look—

WELL

I share this one often but I’m a miracle baby🙌🏽 Though the doctors couldn’t get me to breathe when I was born and ushered me off before my mom could even see me. 🙌🏽 🙌🏽

Yeah so my parents were told they couldn’t have kids and then oopsies helloo it’s ME 💅🏽 and then they went and had three more girls 🤣

34: I time I succeeded

Ooh!! Okay so I was in honor choir t-three times? Two maybe? The first time I was in Junior high we had to audition to get chosen. Then we took a bus back to the school or theatre they had us practice in and we performed at a big named theater in our area 😄 the second was basically the same thing but without the audition. And I THINK I had a third one in there somewhere but I can’t remember.

I don’t have very many successes in life but I am in my city’s time capsule so 😎

38: My favorite band.

This one used to be easy to answer COUGH PALAYE ROYALE COUGH. 😒 actually it still kinda is. I really love MCR and Set it Off. Epecially SIO. I LOVE Cody Carson’s voice. And also his name it’s so fun to say. 😭 my favorite song from them rn would probably be Punching Bag. THEY COLLABED EITH MIKU. I love them s m they make up a good portion of my car karaoke music. I need more songs though I only listen to a handful cause I don’t actually go and seek out my favorite artists new stuff unless I happen across it 😔 to all my SIO fans give me your faves please

44: My favorite TV Show

Last but not easiest! I can’t say I have one 😭 I like a lot of shows but I don’t have any one favorite I could turn on and just unwind. I know a lot of people love like the office, use it as background noise, and can quote it easily. I don’t have that kind of love or relationship with anything in particular. Back in the past I GUESS it would have been Adventure time or Steven universe but as of now I’ve come to this knife fight empty handed. 🤔 that said I’m SO excited for Umbrella Academy to drop the final season. Oh also I feel like I have to mention that I love Fruits Basket with all my heart 🩷♥️🩷♥️🩷

😭 I swear I say some ridiculous things and no one’s ever been like “hey Melissa you do ____ how did you not notice??” YALL can probably tell me more about me than I can cause you’re forced to watch me day in and out.

Anyways I lov e you thank you for 🥺 being my friend.

♥️ The Ask Game ♥️

[solmints-messyocdiary]

My Notes on Her pt. 1/???

The subject is a 6'6? 6'7??...

Caucasian?? (I have no idea what her exact nationality is) - Nor her name but everything in its time.

Female.

~

Most of her victims are males. She enjoys it when they challenge her and put up a fight, however, quoting her "but weak, pathetic ones are fun too. You're safe though, not my type." I don't know whether to be relieved, offended, or disappointed.

~

Technique: brutal and messy. Keen on leaving as many non-lethal cuts/bruises before the finishing blow. Likes to play with her food. Takes her time. In my opinion, she should add more pizzazz to it.

Dunno, pose them in a way?

Throw flowers on the bodies?

Carve her initials???

I am not expecting much but yeah. Her kills have nothing that makes them stand out only that many are men and are extremely brutal. But even that can be confused as gang activ Fight gon

Eh, I have no idea. There aren't even gangs around here and the neighborhood is fairly calm minus the odd stalker here and there haha winkwink

~

Inhumanly strong and durable, surprisingly quick-footed as well. High pain tolerance. She broke her left hand due to exertion but is still using it. Need to buy more bandages and those wrist thingies for her.

~

She seems to like challenging games or anything that makes her solve hard riddles or puzzles.

~

The subject tends to be more talkative when making sarcastic remarks, which is always. Yay...

~

Apparently graduated from philosophy (red flag) with a minor in psychology (even bigger red flag!)

~

According to her... Had a good childhood too... odd but not unheard of for her to be like she is.

Unwilling to share more information about her family or her growing up.

~

Her favorite movie is "Heathers," so one has to wonder if her personality is really her own or... she does tend to act like a J.D. wannabe at times. She even tricked me by using his backstory as her own... fuck me I guess.

~

Can crack jokes at any occasion which is both hilarious but disturbing at the same time.

~

Affirms that she is 100% lucid when doing the slaying; "no voices in this head." Which makes it 10 times more terrifying than if she WAS hearing voices telling her to kill. Kind of sad about that, it might have made an interesting plot for a book or movie. Add some crazy Supernatural elements and boom! A blockbuster like all the 5000 others.

~

Comments that the first time she killed she vomited and had to clean up and move the body far away from that big patch of DNA. Didn't come out of her room for 3 days. I can't prove nor disapprove her claim but knowing her I should take it with a grain of salt. Hasn't given me any reason why she reacted like that. People don't tend to puke their guts out when doing something they like (even if that is gutting someone up.)

~

First victim was an alcoholic, probably smoked some shady shit too, was known for picking fights and beating his wife, hated by his neighborhood.

"No one would miss him..."

What I found weird was that apparently his spouse was searching for him and crying too...

Kinda glad that was the case for the guy.

Not for the woman but... why would she cry for a guy like that? I will never understand women who stay with those types... or anyone for that fact. If that was my father I would h..., but she finished him off too quickly. A quick stab, no momentum, no signature, no show.

Too bad. Bastard probably deserved more.

I also asked her why him exactly.

She replied, "Easy kill, was constantly drunk, not very smart or strong. No one would make a fuss about him. In fact, everyone seemed relieved when he didn't come back the next day... or the next month. Seemed perfect."

~

If you ignore the scars, homicidal tendencies and the super human strength along with the extreme apathy she possesses, she looks like a normal chick.

A tall, normal chick.

A tall, muscular and scary, normal chick.

I just saw her painting her nails (where did she even get the polish in the first place...) and watching some cheesy high school drama on TV with almost a hint of interest. She seems to enjoy those a lot I noticed. The messier and dumb, the better.

~

She's... odd.

Totally different from what I imagined her being like based on the newspaper articles.

I like her.

[dumpsterfirepropaganda]

So a while back, I decided to make a spreadsheet listing all of the franchises/series/properties/etc. that I have a special attachment to, along with specific elements/aspects that I particularly enjoy in the media I consume, in order to see if there was any one variable all of them had in common.

It ended up looking like this:

I added the year I got interested in each property as well, and it’s been funny to see the progression - you can see how it starts with the movies my parents showed me at the beginning, then the video games my friends introduced me to (or that I fortuitously found out about after skipping vacation bible school one day but the full version of that story is for another time), then my special interests growing out of a mix of those...then that little stretch in 2020-2021 where I started dipping my toes into things out of morbid curiosity and getting genuinely invested in them whoops

 Anyway, I wanted to share this in case anyone else is interested in creating something like this. I think it’d be so fun to see what other people consider to be the most appealing aspects of the things they’re into, as well as how their tastes evolved over time! 

(Zoomed in versions of the spreadsheet under the cut for easy reading, as well as abbreviated explanations of how I got into everything on this list, if you’re interested.)

Jurassic Park - I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid. My parents were like, “Hmm, she might like this - we’ll just make her cover her eyes for the scene where the T-rex eats that guy off of the toilet.”

Star Wars - Parents bought me Lego Star Wars for the Wii because THEY liked Star Wars but I had no clue what was going on, walked in on them watching Episode V and they let me stick around

Pokémon - All my closest friends were into it but I wasn’t allowed to play until finally my parents caved and let me get a DS and a copy of Platinum. Easily the franchise I am the most invested in ahaha

Sonic - Went to the phone store with my mom and they had a mobile version of Sonic 2 on one of the demo phones. Went home and got it on virtual console, literally defined how I play video games now

Mega Man - Picked up a copy of Nintendo Power (RIP) because it had Mewtwo on the cover. Featured character was Zero. His design activated all the neurons in my brain so I read everything I could about him and eventually got into the games, and now Mega Man characters own the deed to my house and my firstborn child

FNAF - Friend showed me a video of a playthrough at my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. Scared the pants off of me. Couldn’t stop watching it.

Alien/Aliens - The Great Movie Ride at Disney, but specifically the waiting room where they play the trailers for the movies (I closed my eyes during the actual Alien section of the ride because it freaked me the heck out). That trailer stuck in my brain and one day I just decided I wanted to watch it. I’ve never mentioned them before but I need y’all to understand that these are my favorite movies of all time and I literally wrote a college essay about why they are so good

Metroid - Saw Samus in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and thought she was super cool. Got an SNES Classic for Christmas and tried out Super Metroid...instantly hooked. One of the most amazing games in the universe you guys

The Thing - Dad was like, “Oh yeah I watched that in theaters when I was 12 it’s great let’s watch it.” I couldn’t look my own dog in the eyes for three days.

Terminator - Wanted to check out more 80′s sci-fi. Plus Michael Biehn. Love Michael Biehn.

Twilight - Me and a close friend (neither of whom had grown up reading these) decided to watch the first one as a joke. Got invested. Ended up watching them all. Now I write Mega Man/Twilight fanfiction. Beware what you do ironically, folks.

Homestuck - Was vaguely aware of it for years but (like most people) had no clue what it was about until the Sarah Z video. Decided to give it a try.

It checks almost every single box on this spreadsheet, so...there’s my defense for that, I guess.

The Locked Tomb - Everybody kept posting weird things about this book series and it sounded too crazy NOT to read

Subnautica - I love the ocean. I love space. I love aliens. I couldn’t get a copy of Pokémon Violet at Wal-Mart and wanted something new to play and it happened to be on the shelf.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。

{✿} – ❝Oh! I didn’t go to school.❞ Pippin openly confessed, the happy-go-lucky smile that rested easy on his face a clear demonstration of his lack of embarrassment upon the revelation, his artless fingers enthusiastically undoing the wrapper around the double chocolate chip ice cream bar he had procured from the freezer. ❝My momma & poppa taught me some things when I was little, and then I just sorta learned the rest along the way by livin’ my life to the fullest and keeping an open mind!❞ The sugar pixie wore an eager grin, his pale blue eyes shimmering anticipatorily towards the ice cream bar that he was finding increasingly difficult to resist. He seemed contentedly oblivious to his own academic benightments, but at least he seemed to have gotten by so far despite lacking any kind of formal education. Although, sometimes his blatant illiteracy would occasionally cause him a small hitch from time to time. Pippin babbled, ❝And now I know lotsa really cool and interesting things! For example: did you know that fish can cough? Well, they can - !! Isn’t that neat?! I wonder what that would sound like underwater...!❞ He pondered this by tapping thoughtfully on his chin, completely overlooking that he was still holding the now-beginning-to-thaw frozen treat and was, in fact, spreading it all over his face as a result of this. He continued to talk nineteen to the dozen without missing a single beat, his physical energy just as easily matching the rapidity with which he spoke, stimming energetically in his seat. It was a wonder he was still sitting down! ❝Also, in the 1982 movie ‘Poltergeist’, they used skeletons from real corpses for some of the props! One of the actresses even swam with ‘em before she found out they weren’t made of rubber.❞ He announced this feature with the same childlike wonder that he had with reference to the run-of-the-mill fish fact, ❝Yeah...! I know lotsa fun facts.❞ He’s clearly incognizant to the morbidity of what he’s just said and how drastically it differed from the first “fun fact” he had chosen to share, rocking absentmindedly from forward to back as he, at last, gave into temptation and chowed down contentedly on his ice cream bar, unobservant of the incongruence between his statements. ❝You want another one? I’ve got hundreds...!❞

9: What's your all time favourite movie/tv show?

sin WHY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 /lh

my all time favorite movie should be easy bc i don't watch movies! wait. actually. how do I pick between ghibli movies-

best non anime tv shows i've seen are lucifer and phineas & ferb (i do not watch non anime tv shows often)

top anime i've seen: okay so taking plot, characters AND artstyle into account, violet evergarden's probably at the top? tbhk is taking hold of me very fast but I like the manga more than the anime soo. yeah

12: Your favourite music genres?

is frobisher bay a music genre (I like most genres that aren't country)

18: Do you like reading? If yes what's your favourite book?

i LOVE reading i was that kid who took a book everywhere they went!

top 4.5 books recs:

Greetings From Witness Protection! - Jake Burt (middle grade): An orphan with kleptomania is tossed into a family running from the nation's most notorious criminals. She has to keep her new family, and herself, safe, but threats are always close behind, and one slip up could cost them their lives.

It's a fun, sweet novel with characters that I personally love. If you like found family, give this a read

Orbiting Jupiter - Gary Schmidt (YA/middle grade): I AM TAKING DAMAGE. A family takes in a traumatized 13-14 year old boy named Joseph, who has a bit of a criminal record, and a daughter that he's never even seen. Joseph wants to see her more than anything, but how much will it take to find her?

The story is told by his new younger brother and Joseph's only(?) friend. It's a fairly short read (<200 pages + large font). I love the writing style, the characters... yeah I really liked this one

This Savage Song/Our Dark Duet - V.E. Schwab (YA): A city divided and overrun with monsters. The daughter of a harsh ruler that vows to destroy the shadows and a monster that lurks in it. They have opposing goals, opposing backgrounds, but the city is dangerous all the same, and they share a common goal: they want to survive.

y'all know I love V.E. Schwab!! The first book does NOT focus on romance AT ALL which is great! The second book does have a little romance in it, but it's not the main focus of the story. If you're gonna read v.e. schwab's books I suggest starting with these two because. reasons. but yeah it's pretty tense and a bit sad. Nico read this one too, and he said "It's really good but so fucked up. I'm never reading it again"

bonus book rec: A Darker Shade Of Magic - V.E. Schwab (YA): I have DEFINITELY not gotten far enough into this book to give it any sort of proper review, but it's a fantasy trilogy about three parallel Londons and the Antari that can travel between them. I'm including it here because even though I haven't really read it, everyone who has tells me it's AMAZING, and that monsters of verity (prev rec) pales in comparison.

tysm for asking!!! sorry 4 writing a whole ass essay when u just wanted to know if I read or not 😭😭😭😭

[mlobsters]

supernatural s1e15 the benders (w. john shiban)

(this is a rewatch so spoilers abound)

starting off with the xf vibe in the teaser music, which this whole episode is very xfiles home (s4e2).... homage. beginning is surprisingly memorable just because it's not what i expected, i'm always stressed when a kid shows up but not this time!

also didn't realize hibbing minnesota was so far north, past duluth! i lived in the twin cities for 8 years or so. i guess donna was from hibbing, but no one lived there. but there was an episode title with hibbing in it (10x08) hence some of my confusion. anyway. to the bad humans!

(padalecki still with the crispy R on crazy. now i'm wondering if he always uses it and i just stopped noticing at some point)

so priest and state trooper, side swept bangs 📝

EVAN Godzilla Vs. Mothra. DEAN That’s my favorite Godzilla movie. It’s so much better than the original, huh? EVAN Totally. DEAN Yeah. (He nods towards SAM.) He likes the remake. EVAN Yuck!

very cute

i used this bar scene in my fanvid to texas hold 'em and that neon sign in my tennessee whiskey painting lol (though i ended up putting them mostly in front of it but you can see a lil bit)

SAM Well, there are all kinds. You know, Spring Heeled Jacks, phantom gassers. They take people anywhere, anytime.

shoulda had more monstery-monster of the week eps

SAM Right. I saw a motel about five miles back. DEAN Whoa, whoa, easy. Let’s have another round. SAM We should get an early start.

DEAN Yeah, you really know how to have fun, don’t you, Grandma? (SAM smiles.) Alright, I’ll meet you outside, I gotta take a leak.

it was cute, sam basically gave him a very nice smile to the grandma comment and dean caved. might make gifs if i remember to - i made the gifs to avoid picking this back up. also shows just rarely talk about using the bathroom, course this was a plot-related bathroom visit to get them separated, so. not sure it really falls into the masculinity tag i got going but anytime we go with a woman instead of man, gonna tag it

this music is so cliche tension danger sounding but also like, not at all matching the vibe of the show? too loud, and like a parody. ugh. i will give you one guess who it is... (gruska, of course)

DEAN Sam? Two beers and he’s doin’ karaoke. No, he wasn’t drunk. He was taken. KATHLEEN Alright. What’s his name? DEAN Winchester. Sam Winchester. KATHLEEN Like the rifle? DEAN Like the rifle.

insert something insightful about the hunters having an extremely on the nose last name :p also don't know if we ever really know what sam's tolerance is like

i 100% took screenshots of the computer screen first watch because they just copied sam's height into dean's entry :p

DEAN Officer, look, uh, he’s family. I kind of—I kind of look out for the kid. You gotta let me go with you. KATHLEEN I’m sorry, I can’t do that. DEAN Well, tell me something. Your county has its fair share of missing persons. Any of ‘em come back? Sam’s my responsibility. And he’s comin’ back. I’m bringin’ him back.

eat that right up, you know it. this episode is chock full of protective dean goodness, after sam got to do it for him in 1x12.

s1e11 / s1e15

well i'll be! same thing sammy said to meg in the bus station that got me feeling extra mushy. that also had teleplay by john shiban. thank you, sir 🫡 did a little gif comparable thing too

~1 month later~ was gonna pull up an episode of evil, which has been my go-to evening show during my spn sabbatical and i just got the itchy feeling to want to blather at length while watching something. am i ready to watch spn again?? we will see.

JENKINS Why don’t you give it up, Sammy, there’s no way out. SAM Don’t….call me….Sammy!

damn right

my vacation away and literally the first scene with music back and i'm like godDAMNIT this music is obnoxious. in case i was worried i just had a stick up my ass about it, no it really is just my immediate gut reaction

anyway, bro's off getting the most dangerous game'd to bad music. shoulda listened to sam

DEAN Hey, Officer? Look, I don’t mean to press my luck. KATHLEEN Your luck is so pressed. DEAN Right. I was wondering—why are you helping me out, anyway? Why don’t you just lock me up? KATHLEEN My brother, Riley, disappeared three years ago. A lot like Sam. We searched for him, but—nothing. I know what it’s like to feel responsible for someone, and for them—Come on. Let’s keep at it.

had this storyline happened later, could see her slotting into the jody/donna type role

the most striking eyes

DEAN I gotta start carrying paper clips.

i mean, seems like he'd have something on his person. what with their vocation needing a variety of tools for less than legal shenanigans

ok what, did dean have this headshot of sam lying around?? lol. not one in my fairly comprehensive winchester family photos post

very necessary to have him stretched out over this sheriff wagon

DEAN Sam? Are you hurt? SAM No. DEAN Damn, it’s good to see you.

<3

DEAN Have you seen ‘em? SAM Yeah. Dude, they’re just people. DEAN And they jumped you? Must be gettin’ a little rusty there, kiddo.

it's just so sweet. i am a sucker

my hot take is that jensen loves slapstick humor and puts it in at any opportunity. we're dealing with like, people-hunting-cannibals, his brother and a sheriff are locked in cages that he needs to find a key for and yet! jensen is gonna have dean turn the flashlight on in his face and have a goofy reaction. TIME AND PLACE, BROTHER

anyway. there's been a lot of the xfiles noises this episode. very on brand

i think one of the most disturbing things about this episode are the pictures with the benders are posing with the people like a big game photo. enough that i don't even wanna include a screenshot of it

i wonder how the set design of this compares to the house at the end of s1 true detective. and obviously the set for xf home. maybe i'll pull up some comparisons and see if it's worth doing A Post

i think why the game polaroids are so impactful vs this is like. this is very campy over the top. old timey music playing on the phonograph, traps and saw blades hanging from the ceiling, man making these wildly exaggerated swings with the cleaver and saw

i will admit that i saw something at a formative age that had an incredibly upsetting situation with a hot poker and so this scene also is distressing. at least it's not threatening sexual violence this time. but objectively, that's a gorgeous shot

DEAN You hurt my brother, I’ll kill you, I swear. I’ll kill you all. I will kill you all!

you know i can't resist that, eat it right up

so rare they're in short sleeves, has to be an even smaller number of times they fight someone in them

so beautiful. she was really good in this part

DEAN Never do that again. SAM Do what? DEAN Go missin’ like that. (SAM laughs.) SAM You were worried about me. DEAN All I’m sayin’ is, you vanish like that again, I’m not lookin’ for ya. SAM Sure, you won’t. DEAN I’m not. (SAM chuckles.) SAM So, you got sidelined by a thirteen-year-old girl, huh? DEAN Oh, shut up. SAM Just sayin’, gettin’ rusty there, kiddo. DEAN (chuckling) Shut up. (SAM laughs.)

i didn't remember that last little bit, that was extra cute. i will be making more gifs 😩

[vampiricgf]

ty for the tag sum <33

what old person thing you do?

sit outside on my porch and watch the birds n rabbits n squirrels, I do that for hours sometimes if it's not too hot

last three books (or fics) you read?

Fire and Blood by George R. R. Martin because I wanna watch hotd but im insane about reading books first if a piece of media is based on them (I read all the got books in one month so I could actually watch the show, never watched it past the first ep because I immediately went well this is fucking stupid lmao hopefully that doesn't happen again but the likelihood is high)

The Cherry Robbers by Sarai Walker is an extremely good extremely underrated book. It reminded me of the lady who was married to the creator of the smith and wesson firearms who went crazy with the guilt of all the people killed with those guns and believed she was haunted by them. Similar idea, the mc is an heiress to an arms manufacturing fortune along with her siblings and they all start dying one after another because of a "curse"

Horror Movie by Paul Termblay was extremely fun to read. Cursed lost film set to be remade with the one surviving cast member of the original film, except nobody else outside him really knows what happened to all the other people originally involved with the films creation

at a movie theater which arm rest is yours?

the right because im right handed!

vintage or new?

vintage/secondhand, I pretty much only shop secondhand for everything clothes wise or jewelry wise. if it can still be used then it may as well keep seeing some use

favorite part of your daily routine?

I usually wake up around 6:30 am and I sit outside on the porch with coffee to smoke n just look around for a while. it's peaceful n keeps me present and is a good easy start to the day most of the time barring any irritating interruptions

are you scared of the dark?

nope

marry/cuddle/sleep?

marry satoru, cuddle alucard, sleep with astarion

candles, essential oils, or incense?

none, I can't use any of those products in my house because my lil kitty cat marty has damaged lungs (from before I adopted him) n all that stuffs too irritating for him to be around. I do love a good candle though, I used to burn them all the time before his vet told me to quit

favorite lyrics right now?

all of sympathy is a knife by charli xcx, idk I think it's refreshing to see a really honest expression of "ugly" emotions like that because tbh I've definitely felt that way before about someone ive been around but it can be really conflicting because of course you feel bad for feeling that way about someone else especially if they're nothing but nice to you but at the same time it's still like yeah I just don't like you because you make me feel insane n in my case mentally ill as fuck lol

random fact/story you want to share?

I was born with a partial third set of teeth!. it was pretty cool as a kid to have my dentist kind of losing his mind over my x rays and taking tons more to send out because he'd never seen developed thirds. it was a problem as I got older tho because they ended up pulling my second set out entirely (save for the ones that had no third) to make room for the third one because otherwise they would've grown and pushed my other teeth into weird or painful positions. so it was done in halfs, half my mouth was yanked first then once it was sufficiently healed the other half was yanked

nine people i'd like to get to know

@aphrogeneias thanks for the tag <3

what "old person" things do you do: complain about how the cold hurts my arthritis. honestly, that's about it. i don't actually have a lot of oldie habits surprisingly?

last three books (or fics) you've read: the thing between us by gus morano - which i absolutely hated. it was such a compelling story about the haunting grief of a man who loses his wife to a supposed beyond the veil sort of entity and it literally went nowhere. so mad i wasted my time on it to be honest.

manacled by senlinyu - technically i'm not done this one. i think i have eleven chapters left but god it's so worth it. i'm not even a harry potter fan anymore (for obvious reasons) but people have been hyping this one up for YEARS. finally took the bait when someone talked about how heartbreaking it is and, holy fuck, they were so right. couldn't recommend more honestly.

the summer hikaru died vol. 1 - i've been looking for a good psych horror manga for ages and this one SLAPS. super excited to read more.

at a movie theater, which arm rest is yours: right side cause i'm left handed. :)

vintage or new: depends on the thing. with clothes i typically buy new because most vintage stuff i'm able to find doesn't really fit my body type. however, furniture, books, etc. i usually buy vintage if i can!

favorite part of your daily routine: it's a tie between that first moment i come home and i see my dog and the one before i go to bed where my partner and i catch each other up on our days.

are you scared of the dark: nah.

marry/cuddle/sleep (like, actual sleeping): asked a friend, they said to choose between loki, astarion, and nanami and to that i say -fuck you, first off all. second, i'm marrying nanami, no questions asked. honestly, i'd probably cuddle astarion because he deserves it. and sleep next to loki because lord knows we both could use a goddamn nap.

candles, essential oils or incense: essential oils, but only if they're the massaging kind.

favorite lyrics right now: pretty much the entirety of charlie xcx's brat album has been stuck in my head but especially this one which isn't technically on the main album but it's so good.

random fact/story you want to share about yourself: as of last week, i officially have 65 tattoos!
