𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌 — i. rin

꒰ rin doesn't notice you're on a livestream with your fans when he comes home all tired from practice and needing a little bit more of your affection ꒱

tw. all fluff, hint of suggestiveness towards the end, slightly ooc!rin but i hc him to be comfortable enough to whine and pout with his so when he's in an established relationship

𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪 600+ words of an idea that just. would not leave me alone

“... and these are my new favourite earrings of the week!” 

Smiling into the camera, you just about missed the sound of your boyfriend coming back home. 

The tell tale scrape of his football boots knocking the shoe cabinet, and the sound of his heavy gym bag hitting the floor were all signs of another tiring practice day. 

“Oh, looks like Rin is home,” you whispered into the camera as if you were gossiping with your best friend, the blinking red light capturing your excitement.

The comments from your livestream filled in, with most of your fans asking if that was your boyfriend.

Since beginning your relationship with the Blue Lock all-star, you had kept it lowkey, not wanting to attract unwanted attention on Rin and you. He had the World Cup to focus on, while you had brand deals to fulfil, and neither of you wanted your fanbase to start speculating or creating rumours during such a crucial time.

However, word did manage to spread, and while you acknowledged your relationship with Rin, you never pushed him to make an appearance on your social media feeds. 

Having his camera shyness in mind, you were about to mute your livestream when you were interrupted by the whiniest “babeeee” coming from your boyfriend. He trudged into the bedroom, too tired to notice that you were filming. 

“Baby, I’m—”

Suddenly, you had all six feet four of his frame crushing you into a hug from the back, his face buried into your neck. 

“I missed you,” he murmured, loud enough for the camera to pick up. “Practise sucked. Isagi couldn’t stop mouthing off with the coach, I wanted to punch him.”

While it may come as a surprise to the rest of the world who only saw Rin as stoic, serious and unapproachable, with you, he was comfortable enough to show a different side.

“Was it that bad?” You flitted your gaze to the camera, and the livestream comments were practically pouring in. A part of you wanted to end it to give your boyfriend some privacy, but the other cheekier part wanted Rin to notice on his own. Plus, it would be the perfect blackmail material if he ever made fun of your makeup collection again. 

“Mhm.” His pout was branded into your neck. He smelled like sweat, grass and man, but you loved how it always reminded you of sunny days and warm nights. “Sucks.” 

You reached up to pat his hair, giggling when he started to rub his face into your neck and shoulder like a needy kitten. 

“Wanna cuddle with you. Wanna go get ice-cream later… wanna—hey!” 

You both locked eyes through the camera—his shocked expression and your smug one reflecting on the screen. Rin visibly flushed, his pout growing deeper. 

But, instead of pushing you away with a grumpy shove, he tightened his grip around you, glowering into the camera. “Are those your fans?” 

Giggling, you nodded, picking your phone from the stand and letting him read the comments over your shoulder.

Y/N girlie pls there are single people in this room 

I had no idea Rin could smile… wild times we live in

They look so cute together! 

OMG OMG BOYFRIEND REVEAL YES

He looks like a liddol puppy :( 

Awwwwwwwww now i need to punch a wall to feel like a man again 

Rin snorted at those comments, hiding his flaming cheeks in the crook of your neck. “Fuck you, babe.” 

“Heh,” you chuckled, shooting him a sly smile and a wink that was replicated across your livestream to your thousands of fans. 

“Maybe we should turn the camera off when we get to that part, Rin-Rin.”

i wanna smoosh him into a sandwich and bite his cheeks i love him

Nutteloze Homo (Useless Gay) (Alex Morgan x Reader)

@heathermcgrane Request: I love your blog could you do something where the reader plays for a different national team 

The reader, a player for the Netherlands Women’s National has, of course, heard of Alex Morgan, one of the best forwards in the world, but what you don’t expect is for Alex Morgan to have heard about you, so much so in fact that she mentions you in nearly all of her interviews, luckily for you, today is the day the Netherlands meet the USWNT, and needless to say, you anxious to meet the forward who speaks so highly of you and so often.

“I mean, she’s always talking about you in interviews, just go over there and say hi.” Viv grins and you roll your eyes, rapidly shaking your head.  

“Not a chance.”  

“Dude, she’s totally looking this way!” Viv nudges you and you scoff.  

“She is not.”  

Viv slaps your arm over and over again.  

“YES, she is.”  

You chance a glance over your shoulder eyes doubling in size when you in fact see THE Alex Morgan’s blue orbs on you.  

“Holy fucking shit she’s looking at me.” You swallow hard, cheeks red.  

“Told ya!” She shoves you and your cheeks flush darker.  

“Shut up.”  

                                                          ***

You’d frozen in place when the forward had sent you a wink, unfortunately leaving her open to slip passed you and fire a shot on goal, and passed the goalkeeper’s finger tips.  

“Jij nutteloze homo (You useless gay).” Viv gives you a shove and you grin, cheeks blood red as Alex celebrate the woman sending you another wink that has your heart skipping a beat.  

You shrug.  

“Ik ben een nutteloze homo (I’m a useless gay).”

Viv shakes her head, curling her arm around your neck and digging her knuckles into your head.  

“Is dat niet de waarheid (Is that not the truth)?”

                                                          ***

You don’t let Alex Morgan catch you off guard again, this time tackling the ball away from her with a cocky smirk.  

“Better luck next time Morgan.” You send her a wink and the woman smirks, rushing passed you, her fingers gently brushing your arm.  

“We’ll see about that.”  

You chuckle cracking your neck.  

If Alex Morgan wants to play, you’ll play.  

                                                          ***

You throw a fist in the air, cheering when Viv gets a shot passed goal, the assist by yours truly, the woman immediately running to you to celebrate.  

She smacks her hands against your chest, and you smack her back, the two of you hugging tightly.  

You throw a fist in the air as you move back to your place on field, sure to send Alex a wink on your way by.  

“Volgende keer beter geluk lieverd (Better luck next time sweetheart.)” You snicker and the whistle blows, signaling the end of the first half.  

Instead of heading straight towards the locker room, Alex heads straight towards you.  

“Good first half, but I’ll be on my game in the second.” She grins, resting her hand on your forearm and you swallow hard, blushing.  

“Kom op nutteloze homo (Come on useless gay)!” Viv calls out and you groan.  

“I’ll be on my game too.”  

                                                          ***

“US wouldn’t have got the first goal if it wasn’t for Y/N.” Viv nudges you and you groan.  

Daniëlle snickers.  

“Yeah, she was winking at you the whole match, eh.” She nudges you and you whine.  

“Hou op (Stop!)!”  

The locker room full of players giggle and you groan louder, covering your face, though you can’t hide your blood red ears.  

“Awwwwwwwww.” Viv ruffles your hair and you whine louder.  

“Come on ladies, we’ll make fun of Y/N later.” Wiegman claps her hands and you whine EVER louder, Vivianne throwing an arm around your shoulders.  

“Let op homo (Pay attention gay).” You roll your eyes.  

“Jaa, Jaa (Yes, Yes).”  

                                                          ***

You make your way back out onto the field, your eyes again, catching Alex’s blue orbs on you, though this time, you notice another pair of eyes on you, brown orbs that belong to Kelley O’Hara, the defender nudging the forward with a grin.  

Much like the pair, but positions reversed, Viv pulls you into a headlock.  

“Manier om je staren voor de hand liggende nutteloze homo te maken (Way to make your staring obvious gay).” She snickers and you slap her chest.  

The woman grins when she realizes that Alex is making her way towards the two of you.  

“Succes (Good luck)!” She jogs away and your brows furrow.  

You turn, eyes widening when you realize Alex Morgan is standing right in front of you.  

“I hope you brought your A game.” She smirks and you grin, stepping closer, the woman’s cheeks flushing at the proximity between you.  

“Oh, I did, but did you?” You smirk brow arched and Alex leans closer, swallowing hard, her lips so close to your ear that you can feel her breath against it.  

“I definitely did.”  

“We zullen zien (We will see).” You wink and Alex’s cheeks flush when you slip passed her, your hand brushing the woman’s as you move passed.  

“Haar gezicht is rood (Her face is red).” Viv smirks and you turn around, grinning cockily when you see the forward’s cheeks are dusted pink.

You nudge the forward, beaming.  

“Laten we winnen (Let’s win).” You smack her on the chest and she grins.  

“Laten we het doen (Let’s do it)!”  

                                                          ***

The teasing doesn’t cease in the second half, Alex making comments whenever the two of you are close enough, you of course, mumbling in Dutch.  

The final whistle blows, ending with a tie game, still something to celebrate considering the USWNT is #1 in the world.  

Viv throws an arm around you.  

“We hadden kunnen winnen als je niet homo had gehandeld (We could have won if you hadn’t been gay)!” She jests and you roll your eyes.  

“Hou je mond (Shut up).”  

Viv drags you towards the stands, shaking hands with the USWNT as you go, the two of you stopping when you reach the bleachers where Viv’s girlfriend, Lisa Evans is standing, wearing a massive grin.  

“Nutteloze homo (Useless gay).” She laughs and you throw your head back with a groan.  

“HOU OP (STOP)!” You shout, the two women laughing, Lisa leaning down to press a kiss to Viv’s lips.  

“En ik ben de nutteloze homo (And I’m the useless gay)?” You ask, Vivian shoving you.  

“Ga met haar praten (Go talk to her)!” Lisa shoves you too and you whine.  

“Hier komt ze (Here she comes)!” Lisa pats your shoulder and you roll your eyes.  

“Wat dan ook (Whatever).” You turn away, eyes widening when you realize Alex is indeed, making her way towards you.  

You glance over your shoulder at your friends who nudge you towards the woman, both grinning.

You make your way towards her, the confidence you’d felt in the game completely vanishing when the woman’s azure orbs lock with yours.  

“You played a pretty good game, even though you’re a little cocky.” She winks and you smirk, taking the hand she’d just extended out.  

“You’re pretty cocky too Morgan.” You blush when Alex squeezes your hand.  

“Is it too cocky of me to ask for your number?” She bites her bottom lip, her cheeks flushing red.  

Your eyes double in size and you freeze, much like you had on field and Alex giggles, leaning towards your ear.  

“You know you guys could’ve won if it wasn’t for that.” She teases and you groan.  

“Not you too! They’ve been calling me useless gay all day...” You mumble, realizing what you’d just admitted.  

Alex giggles.  

“Sounds a lot like mine.” She points towards where her teammates are watching the two of you and you grin cockily.  

“Do I distract you Alex Morgan?” You tease, the woman glancing away bashfully. 

“Yes, you do... If you hadn’t noticed I talk about you a lot...” She shrugs and you laugh.  

“Oh, I’ve noticed.”  

Alex smiles, slipping an arm around your waist.  

“I should probably get you that number before you leave.” She smiles and you shrug.  

“Y-yeah, sure.”  

You glance over your shoulder, rolling your eyes when you see Viv and Lisa giving you a thumbs up, but you completely miss the rest of Alex’s team doing the same to her.  

“Idiots.”  

“Idioots (Idiots).”  

You both stop, chuckling when you realize you’d essentially said the same thing, at the same time.  

Alex leads you to the USWNT locker room, thankful that the others hadn’t followed behind the two of you.  

She leads you to what you guess is her bag, riffling through it before she finds a pen.  

“Come here.” She beckons you over with her index finger and you swallow hard, cheeks blood red.  

She takes your hand, turning it over and writing her number across your palm, her blue orbs darting from the palm of your hand to your eyes.  

“Had to bring me in here for that?” You clear your throat and Alex shrugs.  

“I supposed not, but I wanted to do this before you left.”  

Your eyes widen when Alex Morgan cups your cheeks with her soft hands before pressing a tender kiss to your lips, her lips lingering against yours long enough for you to reciprocate.  

Alex pulls back, smirking.  

“Guess I had to give you some incentive to text me.” She chuckles nervously and you scoff.  

“I didn’t need an incentive to.” You wink, cheeks flushed at the fact that Alex Morgan had just kissed you. “But I didn’t mind it.”  

Alex bites her bottom lip, taking a step towards you.  

“Guess I wanted to give you extra.” She shrugs and you laugh, surprising her by leaning in and pressing a soft kiss to her lips.  

“I guess that was to give you extra incentive to text me back.”  

Alex laughs.  

“Oh, I’ll be texting back.”  

                                                          ***

“Heb je haar gekust (Did you kiss her)?” Vivianne asks and you blush, glancing away, staring down at the palm of your hand where Alex had written her number. 

You shrug, but your cheeks betray you, flushing a bright red.  

“ZIJ ZOENDEN (THEY KISSED)!” Vivianne yells and your teammates cheer, your cheeks darkening.  

“Hou je mond (Shut up)!” You yell, the women on the bus giggling.  

Your phone vibrates in your pocket and you grin, when you see the picture Alex had sent, probably not Alex though, because it’s a picture of Kelley O’Hara and her other teammates, the caption reading.  

“YOU KISSED!”  

You phone again chimes, this time a picture of Alex, her cheeks flushed.  

“They’re still being idiots.”  

You laugh growling when Vivianne snatches your phone and takes a picture with the team, typing a quick caption before giving you the phone back.  

“Je kuste (You kissed)!!”

You type a quick message before taking an annoyed selfie.  

“So are mine.”  

Alex smiles on the other end of the phone.  

“I see that I gave you enough incentive to text me? ;)"

You blush, grinning as you type a quick reply.  

“Maybe... I see that I gave you extra incentive to text back...?”  

Alex laughs typing a reply, your cheeks flushing when you read the words on the screen.  

“If you ever run out of incentive, I’ll be sure to give you some more. ;)"

Your cheeks darken as you type your reply with nervous thumbs.  

“I’ll be sure to give you some too if you run out. ;)"

You jump just now realizing that both Vivianne and Danielle reading over your shoulder.  

They share a glance, both nodding.  

“Nutteloze Homo (Useless gay).”

[likesomekindofcheese]

could you write something where Roger has a crush on a guy for the first time and is trying to sort through his feelings to ask him out? Bonus points if Brian, Fred, or Deaky are teasing him for being all lovestruck and nervous

Awwwwwwwww, I love that idea! Thanks for asking, nonny!!

It was when he saw you smile, genuinely smile that it felt like a rock dropped into the bottom of Roger’s gut.

Once he got home, all he could think of was you. When he was eating, reading, watching tv, having a smoke, or going to bed.

But Roger knew his way around girls well enough.

But YOU. Well, you were a guy. And that was a different story. What was right?

He kept walking up to you, maybe trying to flirt...like the way he flirts with girls. But the nerves would hit him.

“Hi there, Y/N!” he’d say.

And you'd say “...hi there, Roger, what’s up?”

“Uh...the...uh, it’s sunny today, isn’t it?” he would say, putting hands into his pockets casually. Though on the inside he was screaming.

He wanted

no

Needed to ask you out.

But he wasn’t sure how to do it...

Or if you’d even be interested?!?!?!?

Wandering around the street, scratching his head, he kept thinking...

Maybe ask Y/N to a pub...or just for lunch...maybe if they aren’t interested in that way, it’ll still be safe, ya know...

Though the thought of rejection was enough to tear him in two.

So one time, he was hanging around with the band after a rehearsal and they noticed he was silent, lunging in his chair, his blue eyes looking more dreamy and absent than normal.

“What’s the matter, Rog?” Brian asked, turning his curly head.

“I...I have something to confess...I..like Y/N and I want to ask him out...” he said, gulping in air as if he was swimming for dear life.

There was a brief pause. The clock ticked in the back and one of Fred’s cats came up to Roger’s leg, rubbing against it.

Soon, they got him to talk about it and hounded him with ideas.

“It’s just, romance, darling, don’t worry about the gender. Everyone wants to be romanced!” Fred suggested with a flounce of his hands.

“You could tell the truth. And if he’s nice and rejects you, it will still be okay...” Deaky comforted.

Brian folded his arms and smiled.

“I guess you can change the song to ‘I’m in Love with Y/N, now...

“No! I...”

Fred mimicked the opening chord and sang “I’m in LOOOOOOOVE with myyyyy YYYYY/NNNNNNN”’

Roger turned the color of a tomato and got up, crying “no! No! No!”

Deaky began laughing

They figured it was best to just ask you to a pub.

And you said yes.

You got your drinks and shared chips, sitting in the wooden area as old sea shanties were playing from a record.

The other three band members were spying from a window, rooting for Rog.

And as Roger took a bite of a hot chip, he looked up and noticed how you were checking him out as he ate. When his eyes suddenly turned somewhere, yours would follow. Your body language showed both excitement and coyness.

His eyelids lowered and he gave a half-smile that always managed to dazzle.

“So. Y/N, tell me more about your friends, I want to know about them...” he said, “they have...good taste...”

Electricity shot through your limbs. Was Roger flirting with you? Were all of your secret hopes coming true???

Needless you say, you stayed there forever, talking about everything in detail.

The other three were out in the cold, desperate for a toilet. But seeing everything was well, they walked off.

As you both walked out, Roger shyly linked his arms around you. You could smell his cologne, his warm skin, and his shirt. You accepted it, butterflies in your stomach. 

Once you got home...both of you looked at each other, then at the ground, shyly.

“Uh...Y/N...do you...do you want to do this again?” he asked.

“Roger...as a date you mean?” you finally blurted.

He jumped, then tried to play it cool, scratching the back of his head.

��Wha! A-a date? A date date?!” he asked.

You began to chuckle, then you leaned over and kissed his knuckles.

“Yes, a date date. A second date date.”

You planned for a trip to dinner and a movie. And as you walked away, you both felt like you could fly with the future endlessly in front of you.

Logicality 17

“Bite me” with logicality oh b o y uhhhhhh shit okay let’s see how this one turns out

Costumes And Other Chaotic Endeavors

“This is an atrocity.”

“Whaaaat? Aw, come on, Logan, don’t say that!”

“I look ridiculous, Patton; I’d classify that ‘a problem’.”

“Well gosh, Lo, you seem peeved. If that costume was really you, I almost feel like you’d be saying-”

“Wait, don’t!”

“Bite me!”

Logan rolls his eyes, tugging uncomfortably at the itchy collar of the dollar-store vampire costume Roman’d dressed him up in since having lost that bet. “I despise you with every fibre of my being,” he says flatly, leveling a poisonous glare at his closest friend.

“Aw, love you too, Logan!” Patton chirps back, unfazed by his friend’s antics. Softening, he shoots the taller man a sympathetic glance. “Really, though,” he tacks on, smiling dopily up at Logan (who most certainly does not have to stifle a coughing fit after seeing that grin aimed his way), “you look really good as a vampire.”

Logan’s mouth twitches up. “Thank you, Patton,” he reluctantly acknowledges, running a critical eye over his appearance in the mirror before beginning to tie on his cheap crimson cape over the extravagantly historically incorrect ensemble. Patton shoots him a smile and a wink.

“A’course, Lo!” he says, eyes twinkling. “You can always count on me to raise you up!”

Logan pauses. Blinks. Then, with a loud groan, buries his head in his gloved hands, muttering “Why me?” under his breath.

“Oh, you know you love me,” Patton replies, wiggling his shoulders (adorably. obviously.) at Logan. “Unfortunately,” Logan bites back without thinking.

Then he freezes.

“Logan?”

“..Yes?”

“Did.. you just inadvertently say you loved me?”

“…”

“What? I know big words too!”

“Then I suppose that both of us learned new things about the other today, then.”

A step forward. “Could I…?”

A blink. Then, astonished, “You as well?”

“Well o’ course! Gosh, you’re my hero, Logan. How could I not?”

“In… in that case.”

Another step. “Is that a yeah?”

“Please.”

A moment of silence before they break apart. Then, with a laugh:

“Man, for someone so smart, you’d think you’d remember to take out those fake fangs, first!”

“Oh shut up!”

awwwwwwwww, this was ADORABLE to write!!! god, i had no idea where i was gonna go with this for a SOLID few minutes (and the ideas i had, well, i didn’t know how to write…)  but then i got the idea of the line being a pun and i just-

i had to

send me a prompt and a ship!

hello!! imagine ouma skipping lunch one day...he's starving by the time he gets home but luckily, his wonderful fiancee saihara-chan is waiting for him with a warm, home cooked meal! saihara frets over him and makes sure he eats every last bite, makes sure his body gets filled up with warmth and love! after finishing dessert, ouma is so stuffed he can barely move, so he sits back and lets his beloved saihara-chan rub his tummy and pamper him with kisses and cuddles

Ohmygossssssh, what a sweet, lovely scenario!! Oh, I love this sort of soft, caring feeding/stuffing. Awwwwwwwww, it’s adorable!

This picked my mood right up, anon! Thank you very much! I’m already feeling a lot better today!

the great indian dysfunctional family ep 2 lb

(previous)

... the place the show is set in is called “kannuri”? i thought it was in coonoor, the way samar was talking about landslides... afaik there’s no such place as “kannuri”. why choose a fictional place?

ok flashing back to 6 years ago. addu and nandu are playing truth or dare. is there really a need for a bottle to be spun when there’s just the two of you?

addu’s dropping some facts/not-so-subtle hints about bisexuality.

they have chits ready with the dares written? this is faaaaaaaar more organized a truth or dare game than i’ve ever participated in

of course it dares nandu to kiss her opponent. if addu made the chits, i have a feeling ALL of them say that.

aw, it’s quite the sweet tiny peck. though slightly unwilling on nandu’s end.

seems like a bulb has gone off in addu’s head, the way she’s smittenly grinning.

nandu talks about how she can’t wait to fall in love and addu looks like this:

cut to addu in the present, sobbing her heart out. oh baby girl.

sonali and premlata are bonding by looking at old photos. awwwwwwwww yissssssss this is the relationship i’m here forrrrrrrrrrrr.

sonali is so damn cool man. she just oooozes charm and wit.

a baby photo of addu (and premlata mentioning nandu) makes sonali recall last night. 

oh no. she’s going to talk to addu. behen aapne bas kal hi entry maari hai. should you be trespassing this quickly?

she’s easing into the topic quite sensitively though. so maybe she is the right person to have this conversation.

aaaaaaaaand just as she’s breaching the topic, geeta’s here.

slight afra tafri and double meaning talk as sonali encourages addu to “wear whatever she likes” and not fear of people’s judgement, before being pulled off by geeta to some parlour apt.

chachiji, i know you mean well, but this advice is just going to make little addu here crash and burn.

samar’s veryyyyyyy chipper this morning. lol it’s a little strange for me to see sobti SOOOOOO smiley and happy.

aw he’s talking about the kids so fondly. does he have a little baby fever himself?

sonali’s tryyyyyyying to breach the topic about how addu’s “different” and might not just want to settle for an arranged marriage.

ugh samar, that was a sexist thing to say. and just when i was beginning to like you so much.

A+ to sonali for calling him out on it and shutting him down. i don’t know if i want to be her or if i’m just in love with her.

aw mridul is dancing to radha teri chunari. and all the ladies (geeta, premlata, the baai whose name i still don’t know) are lovingggggggg it. as am i. toooo cute for words.

ofc vikram shuts it down. ugh.

great. some realllllllllllll toxic masculinity being thopofied on that poor tiny baby. he looks 5 or 6, at most? ugh, honestly, men are the fucking worst.

is the baai purposely interrupting repeatedly in order to diffuse the argument and protect geeta?

wow, he has all these opinions on which song mridul should dance, but he hasn’t learnt sign language to communicate with him. seriously fuck you vikram.

i’d assumed that geeta was a long-suffering silent type, but i’m very glad she’s not.

this child is truly adorableeeeeee.

wow, even samar known sign language. (even though he said he’s meeting mridul for the first time???)

this just goes to show that vikram’s an exceptionally shit dad.

ugh. too much cute.

aw, what mridul signed to samar was that he really likes sonali’s laugh and was practicing laughing like her. pls excuse me, i’m sobbing.

also yes, sonali deserves this much love and adoration, if not more.

oh samar learnt sign language while in the army. 

now even sonali is attempting to communicate with him with sign language. not very well, but she’s trying!

well-meaning but kinda insensitively framed questions about mridul’s muteness from sonali. i think geeta’s a little hurt.

also she seems a little envious of how loving samar and sonali’s relationship is. sigh.

aaaaaaaand everyone’s off for the night’s festivities. in shaky sharon.

but i notice premlata is missing. just like she was for last night’s event. why?

sonali is me. only priority and incentive to get out of the house is khaana.

what was that slight moment between sonali and geeta at the song (babuji zara dheere chalo)? felt like an inside joke but.....????

even vikram wants to know. but we don’t find out.

ouff again assi vele? ek hi gaana kitni baar???? there are other party jams you know?????

nandu’s dad (pappu) is realllllly smitten with sonali. almost slightly inappropriately so?

i find almost all men inappropriate and suspicious these days, so it could be just me. sonali seems fine with it.

meanwhile addu’s on the hunt for nandu. oh girl, no.

vikram’s sharing army waale stories with some junior. ugh idc about you man. gimme more samar/sonali/addu.

vikram didn’t appreciate his “can you believe men these days get mani/pedis?????” bs interrupted by geeta.

and samar and sonali.

sonali notices geeta’s hand lingering on hot junior’s arm a little toooo long while she’s making introductions. oh boy. sonali maybe you should STOP noticing so much. just for your own sake.

no but geeta really does seem to have some kinda special equation with hunky junior.

vikram why the fuck are you so bitter about samar’s profession? honestly.

samar’s good-naturedly asking him to maybe come visit him sometime at his restaurant, but there’s a real bite to the way he’s saying it.

aaaaaaaand addu’s throwing back drinks. oh honey.

sigh.

ugh some gossipy aunty is asking geeta if she thinks nandu and her fiance have already “done it” coz look at her “glow”. WHY ARE YOU OLDS SO GROSS??????/ JFC.

aaaaand she’s now sharing about how her husband made her “glow” only twice this year. and once was on rakshabandhan. which is creepy as hell. you need to stop talking NOW, aunty.

ugh anyone with seeing eyes can see that vikram cannot get his head out of his ass and look beyond himself, i hardly think he’s making geeta “glow”.

okay so vikram and nandu’s dad just seem to be best friends. so phew, thank god, addu isn’t RELATED to nandu.

two (?) drinks in, addu’s here in nandu’s room and staring at her plaintively as she gets ready. oh baby girl.

nandu’s pretending like nothing’s happened. and asking for help tucking in a mic below her lehenga. oh nandu. why??? you know how she feels about you.

oh great. she’s found a hickey on nandu. ohhhhhhh boy.

aaaaaaaand they’re fighting.

fuck. don’t tell me is beech mein the mic gets turned on and broadcasts to the whole crowd outside.

mridul’s here to dance to radha (in a cuteass little anarkali type outfit) and vikram isn’t happy. but thankfully keeps mum other than a brief disapproving glance at geeta.

ohhhhhhh boy. the dj is fucking with the console and the mic is nowwwwww on. FUCK. DUMBASS DJ.

SKDJFHDSKJFHKDSJFHKDSJFHKDSJFHDKSJ GIRLS PLS NO AAAAAAAAAH I’M DYING OF MICHMICHI

FUCKING DJ CAN YOU FUCKING GO BACK TO PLAYING RADHAAAAAAA WHY IS THIS STILL ON????????

AND THE WHOLE CROWD IS JUST LISTENING INTENTLY INSTEAD OF TURNING IT OFF BY GOD KYA BESHARAM LOG HAIN.

addu’s saying everyone knows about them, including nandu’s dad. is that why vikram arranged nandu’s wedding?

aaaaand nandu just broke it all off calling it “a phase”. sigh. poor addu.

oh boy. nandu’s walking downstairs smiling resplendently. oh girl. kisne kaha tha mic itni jaldi lagaane ko??

lmao samar’s face. (is he flashing back to what sonali was trying to say in the car this morning and joining the dots?)

aaaaaaand both the girls know that everyone knows.

[lullsoft]

I love Tangled! I’m going to have a lot of fun when the Charmings reach Gen 7.

sxatteredmess replied to your photoset  

“She even resorted to collecting trinkets and frogs to help keep her...”

                       Why does she have pointed ears?                    

No real reason. I just really like elf ears and give them to most of my sims. :)

                       I was actually hoping these two would reunite                    

It’s been a really, really long time since we’ve seen Beautyberry (although she was at Pepper’s wedding in the background). I’ve thought a lot about what she’d be up to and really wanted to bring her back into the story, at least for a quick update.

If I ever do a AU Gumdrop story, she’d definitely have a bigger role.

                       One thng I hate is you cant equip glasses to sleepwear without them sleeping in them bc like... my indication is they normally wear contacts but ykno you gotta let your eyes rest!!                  

That would be so cool! I usually just don’t put glasses on their sleepwear but that’s not very realistic either. : /

I have no idea why Cayo is such a terrible cook. I figured she’d be better at it since she’s creative but nope! I’m scared for her future dwarfs.

Also, I could not think of any liquid that you would pour over cooking pancakes so it became mysterious! XD

Also, they and Cayo cannot keep their hands off each other! Their romantic relationship was pretty high because of the wishing well so I was working on building up their friendship and all they wanted to do was flirt.

                       yeah regular fire alarms are useless and it SUCKS                  

I had completely forgotten about it too. When the fire started, I figured we’d just wait until the firefighter showed up because Cayo really isn’t the type to risk her neck for material possessions. There were a lot of extra damages because of that. -____-

[dongsooks]

Dating Kim Yugyeom

First things first

when he realises that he likes you he would ask his members

and the advice would start with

“Woo her with words, write her a song and serenade to her!”

“Be lowkey and cool about it. Buy her a burger and then just casually drop it”

“Just be straight forward about it. Tell her you like her and if she likes you back take her out”

he would probably go with Mark’s being cool and lowkey way

but he would fail bc damn I just don’t see him succeeding

so he would want to buy you a burger but then forget

and then he would try the convenience store

and think to himself that a cream cheese Sandwich would do the jb right?

wrong

so he meets you and is like

“Yeah I got that for me- no wait for you. I bought this for you”

and you would take it and be like

“Aw thank you but I’m lactose intolerant”

And he’ll just malfunction a little

“Mark told me that would work and I should just be lowkey and cool about liking you! And now I forgot you are lactose intolerant!”

and you just looked at him while biting your lip and he kept complaining so you just shushed him

“I like you too Yugyeom”

And his eyes were suddenly as big as his fake confidence

and there was this awkward silence for a second and then he was like

“Can I hug you?”

and you nodded and laghed at how cute that was like awwwwwwwww

and then he excuses himself because he needs to use the toilet

BUT THAT’S JUST A LIE

he actually texts into the 97′liner group chat and probably calls Bambam or something

the other members have two moods

either it’s

Jinyoung and JB in the living room with you while Yugyeom was on the toilet or smth

and it was dead silent while they looked at you judgingly

the clock on the wall made the only sound

and you’d just sit there and look at your knees

and then JB would be protective as he is

“Bring him back by 10″

“Yes ma’- sir. Yes sir!”

silence

and then Yugyeom would finally come in and be like

“Whut’s goin on”

you had no idea tbh

“Before you go. I don’t want to be a grandfather so protect”

“Don’t have sex at all. Jaebum what kind of values do you try to teach our children?”

And then the two start bickering and Yugyeom just slowly pulls you away

but the two don’t want to be mean they just want to protect their youngest

but then on the other hand you would have Bamba who’s just like

“Get fucked!”

He would put a lot of thought into dates but don’t mention it

like not bc he is humble but because he will deny it

so hard

let’s say he took you out to a restaurant

he would request the flowers on the table to be your favourite

but if you asked he would go

“What??? Don’t be delusional!!”

but you know

One time you took him ice skating

turns out he can’t ice skate but felt too daMN COOL TO ADMIT

so now he stand stiff on the ice while you push him

but if you speed up even a bit

he will be full o panting and fearing for his life

“Stop Y/N or I will just sit down and pull you down with me!”

he is just bluffing

you thought and didn’t slow down

and then suddendly it’s like a tower fell

and inevitably you fell too and now everyone is staring at the human mass on the floor  

quietly swearing at each other

you decide it would be good to just go for a coffee too

sometimes you two would just lay around and suddenly he goes

“how many chilis do you think I can fit in my mouth?”

and you are just like

“Yugyeom don’t you will regret that so much!”

and he is just like

“ok.ok.ok”

the next day bambam facetimes you to show you Yugyeom crying while drinking milk

“I don’t even feel sorry for you I told you!”

out of pure interesst you would want to know how many he could put in though

“3″

He would be super caring for you though

always making sure you ate and drank and slept enough

if you were out together and a breeze hit he would immediatly throw a piece of his clothing around you

“i’m not even cold!”

“yes but I don’t want you to get sick!”

If you ever got sick though

even if it was just the slightest stuffed nose

he get’s you enough medicine to cure the entire nation

and a preach about that one time four months ago you went out with slightly damp hair and how he told you it will get you sick

For skinship

he would love holding you

like

he would bury you in his body

would love leaving little kisses in your face randomly

he would bite you too

but god if his members would be even Close

he is two meters away from you

you better know he would not see the end of it if the members would see him even just brushing a body part of yours

I think he would also like to be the small spoon every now and then

with his head on your chest and his arms around your waist while talking to you

about his dreams and hopes

and also his worries

and you would need to reassure and soothe him

he would be there for you

always

and while he wouldn’t want to come across sappy 22/7

there would be those moments he would get serious and tell you things like

“I’m always there for you!”

“No matter what it is you can come to me and I will help you with it!”

“You mean the world to me!”

“I love you”

But especially saying “I love you” would be special to him and he wouldn’t want to say it too often

you knew when he did he really meant it

more often then not you would be teasing each other

“Hey dumbfuck pass me the salt”

“Why you need salt you have enough in your soul”

“Sweet how you think you can diss me”

“Sweet how you think I can’t”

and if anyone doesn’t know it’s just your basic way of communication they’ll be like

“Are they fine?”

and Jinyoung is just standing there like

“Susan wht do you mean that’s young love on it’s peak. Look at them bickering. Love birds”

I feel like fights would happen quite regularly

but they are more just petty, stubborn, heated convos

and they don’t last long

10 minutes max

he would show you dances he is working on

and sometimes bc he is a little fucker™

he would show you dances that are waaaaaay too sexy

and then you sit there like

“what is that?”

“just a choreo what do you mean?”

sometimes you would see him Play with Coco and giggle like a small Boy

or curl up while sleeping while his mouth slightly open

and you think about how cute and adorbly he is

and other times you remember that one If You Do Performance

and yeah uhm so much about cute Yugyeom

Overall: Dating Yugyeom would be full of fun an laughter. While he would often want to seem all tough and cool he would have the weakest, softest spot for you, caring for you crazily much and showing you so too.

Independence Day Characters

New Post has been published on https://twentysomethinginorlando.com/independence-day-characters/

Independence Day Characters

Character hunting has always been one of my favorite things about living near the parks. I was fortunate to move to Orlando the year Disney was running their “Limited Time Magic” promotion, where each week they had a different sort of event going on. A lot of the time these events involved rare, hard to find characters. Since I was on my college program, I almost always was closing, so I would just get to work early to see some characters, and then head into work. Sadly, Limited Time Magic ended with 2013, and I don’t see Disney bringing it back, since it was great for annual pass members and cast members, but not so great for your average guest. There were so many events, but unfortunately, they weren’t announced far enough in advance for anyone to plan accordingly. However, I still try to jump at the chance to meet hard to find characters or characters with special outfits whenever I can. They show up from time to time like holidays and special events. Luckily for me, Independence Day is one they like to feature.

On Independence Day last year, I was heartbroken when I saw pictures of Patriotic Mickey Mouse in Liberty Square. I hadn’t heard anything about special characters being out, and hadn’t seen anything in my previous two summers in Florida. So this year, I hunted around the Disney blogs and decided to brave Epcot on the Fourth of July to try to catch some characters in their patriotic best near the American Adventure. Foolish perhaps, since I had to be at work at 2:30, but I was determined.

I arrived at Epcot around eleven since that’s when World Showcase actually opens. I probably should have gotten there sooner, but my cat was extremely cuddly this morning. Duffy and I breezed through security and started the long walk back to the American Pavilion, literally on the farthest side of the park. I was actually surprised how empty the park seemed, Canada and the UK were almost empty. Even Belle in France had only a short line.

I jumped in the first line I saw when I hit America. I didn’t even check which characters they were, mostly because I assumed they would be rotating. I’m too used to Disney’s game of swapping characters out so it’s next to impossible to get the one you want. (Like a lot of the time at Hollywood Studios you stand in line for Pluto and then he changes places with Donald and you get stuck with the #1 Duck instead.) To my shock, I was wrong and I was in line for my favorite chipmunks! Chip and Dale kept scurrying off for a bite of ice cream, but then they came right back. The line itself wasn’t actually that long, but it still took almost forty minutes because of all the groups that also took individual photos. I talked to the character attendant as he walked up and down the line about who else was out, and where to find them. Mickey, Goofy and Pluto were down at the other end where they sometimes do character training.

I love my new camera but I will say Photopass still comes in handy. I got those photos almost instantly instead of having to wait until I get home to hook up my camera and dump the photos to my computer. Even if the Disney My Experience app doesn’t seem to work half the time.

Chip and Dale were super interactive. I was pleasantly surprised with how much they took their time with everyone. It made the long line so worth it. I’m used to Magic Kingdom where they rush everyone through and it’s basically: hug, photo, GO! I had my photo taken with them, and then took a photo of them holding Duffy without me. I had a hard time getting him back from Chip, “No, no, you can’t keep him!”

I had someone ask me to give Duffy back to them so they could take a photo and I apologized, but kept going. I literally ran to find the line for Mickey. He, Goofy and Pluto were sharing one big long line where you met Mickey then Goofy then Pluto individually.

Wearing my hair down is a horrible decision that I make all too often. It was starting to look like I’d gone swimming, and I knew I had at least an hour’s wait in front of me. I made a deal with the girl in line behind me, she would hold my spot and I would bring us both waters. When I came back the girl in front of me asked if I would hold her spot so she could do the same thing, and of course I said yes.

The line honestly wasn’t that bad and moved relatively quickly, but I was constantly staring at my watch. I alternated between thinking it was going well and worrying it was taking too long. I must have calculated and recalculated how much time I needed to get changed, grab food and get to work ten times. I finally decided the absolute latest I could stay was 1:15, and every tick closer worried me.

I watched Pluto make dog paws with people and play with their Independence Day ears, I watched Goofy pretend to be an eagle, and I watched Mickey sit on the ground with a toddler in a star spangled dress. When she got to Goofy, her mom couldn’t get her to look at the camera for anything, so I hopped behind the photographer and waved Duffy over her head. At least a few people said “awwwwwwwww” out loud. Then someone said, “Now she’ll want the bear.” “Nope, that’s not happening.”

Finally, at 12:57, it was my turn to see Mickey. He fussed over Duffy and I got a hug before the photo and after. Sweaty, stressed about time, I don’t care. The park could be on fire and I would still hug Mickey Mouse.

One of my favorite pictures pretty much ever.

I moved on to wait my turn for Goofy and they pulled the characters for apple pie. I checked my watch again, 1:03. I still had time, but not a lot of it. The characters were back by 1:08 and I got a hurried photo with Goofy. I didn’t have time for Pluto. I tore off towards the front of the park, and ran as much as I thought I could get away with. I hit my car at 1:20 and boy was it a sauna. I hate having a black interior.

I’m a little sad I didn’t get to meet Pluto, but I am extremely happy with my Independence Day. I won’t be watching the fireworks tonight, but that’s okay. It’s Orlando. We have fireworks every night!
