baby arsenal, arsenal wfc x teen!reader

a/n: y/n is so younger me coded minus the fact that she is german

also promise more fics coming soon x

-

y/n y/l/n, the sixteen year old rising star of not only the german national team but also arsenal women's football club, had seamlessly transitioned from the bustling streets of cologne to the vibrant city of london. her two older brothers, max and louis, had started her passion for football from a young age, sculpting her into the strong defender she was today. they always had her in the garden with them having a kick about before urging their father to let her go for trials at the local club, which deemed to be extremely successful.

arsenal had scouted y/n whilst she was playing for fc köln. three weeks later her and her parents were signing papers and organising living arrangements as well as the school situation. they settled on her living with lia as well as her attending the local school in the area.

as the first initial weeks passed, her once shy demeanor melted away, replaced by a vibrant personality that charmed everyone around her. she had also very quickly picked up the name ‘baby arsenal’ from fans and soon her teammates had started calling her that too. kyra and y/n had almostly instantly became friends, pulling y/n out of her nonexistent shell within two weeks, along with victoria, teyah and laura, y/n settled in quickly.

one friday evening, y/n found herself invited to a party by her school friends. eager to fit in with the english teenage life she hastily accepted. embracing the opportunity to get to know her new friends in a different environment, as well as allowing herself to fully relax since moving to the foreign country.

ignoring the cold english weather, y/n slipped on one of her favourite backless black dresses and a pair of her friend’s high heels, that her long legs definitely weren’t accustomed to. many pre drinks later they arrived at the party at nine pm, the minute the group of girls arrived at the party they were straight into the open arms of their other friends. music was blaring as y/n slowly let herself relax, she couldn’t even remember how many new people she had met.

however, the temptation of the party proved too intoxicating, the drinks flowed freely, and before she knew it, the world was slowly tilting on its axis, spinning out of control as she succumbed to the intoxicating haze. the party deemed to be a bit boring now that it had reached past eleven pm, so on her unsteady feet y/n managed to walk out the party and onto the side walk. with her vision blurred and her balance faltering, she fumbled for her phone and dialed kyra’s number, interrupting what was supposed to be a cozy game night for the rest of the team.

"ky! oh my goodness i can’t believe you picked up, i have so much to tell you!” y/n giggled into the phone, "there were like so many pretty girls here tonight and i’m bloody freezing over here. i also had so many drinks! oh and I can't get home. oh and have i ever old you how much i love you! ich liebe dich ky ky…"

throughout the phone call kyra switched it onto speakerphone meaning that everyone could hear the state y/n was in. without hesitation, steph, one of y/n’s self-appointed team mums sprang into action. definitely breaking some speed limits as she rushed to y/n’s location, she found her disoriented but relieved to see she was still standing. quickly getting out the car she wrapped an arm around her guiding her to the

upon their arrival back to lia’s house, leah, kim, lia, beth and steph gathered around y/n, their concern evident in their expressions. "y/n," kim began, her voice gentle yet firm, "you can’t be going around getting drunk, especially at sixteen! what were you thinking?" but before kim’s rant could continue leah placed a hand on the skippers shoulder, “you're young, and we understand that, but you have to be responsible, especially considering the position you're in.” kim nodded her head in agreement before saying, “you're part of this team now, and that means holding yourself to a higher standard than this.”

with a deep breath, she nodded in acknowledgment, her resolve hardening with each passing moment. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "i'll do better, i promise."

with that kyra, stina and laura lead her upstairs. the high heels long forgotten in the hallway as steph urged her to take them off after watching her stumble around in them. laura mumbled soothing words in german as she slipped an oversized t-shirt over y/n’s head, letting the dress fabric pool at her ankles. stina handed laura shorts for her whilst kyra rummaged around in the bathroom for makeup remover.

with tender care, kyra removed the remnants of makeup on her face, before stina tucked her into bed with gentle hands. laura laid the dress over the back of her desk chair as y/n’s eyelids drooped with exhaustion, her body finally catching up with the events of the evening as she sank into the embrace of her plush duvet.

kyra brushed a stray lock of hair from y/n’s forehead, with a final exchange of reassuring smiles kyra, stina and laura bid her goodnight, their footsteps fading into the distance as they left her to sleep. alone in the quiet of her room, y/n closed her eyes, a sense of peace washing over her as sleep overcame her senses.

but just as she began to drift into slumber, a soft knock sounded at her door, and lia entered, her face lit up by the soft glow of the bedside lamp. In her hands she carried a glass of water and a small packet of tablets, her expression one of concern and care.

"here you go, y/n/n," lia said softly, her voice a whisper in the stillness of the room. "drink this, and take these tablets. they'll help with the headache in the morning." she sat down on the edge of the bed, placing a hand on y/n’s leg, rubbing soothing circles on it. “they’re not mad at you i promise maus. let’s just keep the drinking on the cool for now, okay?”

y/n accepted the water and tablet with a grateful nod, as lia got up to leave the room she turned off the bedside table before whispering “schlaf gut maus.” the door closing behind her, the room going pitch dark allowing y/n to finally drift to sleep.

ALL THE REP TV EASTER EGGS IN THE NEW AFTERGLOW MV !!

The first image shows a graveyard that we saw in the background when actors Charlie and YN were walking down a path, it’s the same one from the LWYMMD music video. When they were on a date at Olive Garden (which was included in NBNC and this song has a rep feel to it) YN’s phone has new year’s day playing and one of the rings on her hand is a snake ring. The black and white colour scheme of the heart on the building is the same as the reputation colour scheme. The TS written in the sand was first thought to be a Debut (Taylor’s Version) hint but after the overpowering reputation hints perhaps it means reputation (Taylor’s Version). There was a bracelet in the background of YN and Charlie’s kiss in the mv (which took place in YN’s bedroom) where in the background there was a black bracelet among the pink colour scheme that said “REP”. The paper on Charlie’s desk littered with kisses from YN had lyrics to So It Goes… on it.

Fanta Kama-Cole as told by Deacon Cole:

As summer roles around Fanta graces our June issue in what we call ‘Pop-Glamour’ and her husband has all the tea in this first one-on-one interview!

DEACON COLE: Okay… are you nervous? Cos I’m nervous..

FANTA COLE: Why are you nervous?

DC: I don’t know, I don’t want to mess it up…

FC: You won’t mess it up baby, you got this!

DC: haha, thanks for the confidence. Right, so welcome everyone! Im Deacon Cole and im here with my beautiful wife looking at the stunning view of Del So Valley from our back garden as Fanta removes her make up from the shoot wearing my SG shirt that I’ve been looking for since Christmas…

FC: I stole it and never gave it back.

DC: What’s new.

FC: Did you actually not know I took it?

DC: Shhhh, I’m asking the questions.

FC: Fine baby go ahead, I’m sorry.

DC: First question I know you all are dying to know, What’s one item you can’t leave the house without?

FC: Ermm… I’d say my sunglasses!

DC: that’s true, you always have a pair.

FC: I think because we are so open and literally get noticed everywhere having on sunglasses gives me a sense of privacy, even thought I know we aren’t in private.

DC: We have three daughters..

FC: A handful.

DC: Tell me about it. What is something they take from your wardrobe?

FC: You know what’s crazy? Even though they are all very young they each have such distinct styles…

DC: They have alot of personality don’t they?

FC: Yeah Mary, our oldest, is already picking her own clothes and she basically copies what you wear actually…

DC: Mary steals all my clothes, all the time…

FC: Yh she loves wearing your tops as dresses..

DC: …with Jean shorts and black converse’s.

FC: haha you got it. So Mary would be in your closet before she’s in mine. Crystal is very girly and she wants everything pink, so anything in that pastel light pinky colour she would love to steal and Valerie is probably the closest to my style, she’s got a mix going but loves accessories…

DC: she’s another who steals from closet…

FC: haha, Yh she’s accumulated all your sunglasses and caps.

DC: being in a house full of girls really makes me feel special.

FC: baby, you love it I know…

DC: you have been modelling for almost 10 years now…

FC: omg really?!?

DC: that’s a very long time.

FC: it’s flown by honestly.

DC: what’s your tip for new aspiring models?

FC: consistency and drive. No brand is too small for me. I took every job that was offered to me and saw it as experience, even now I try to also work with smaller less know designers. Your never have enough knowledge so be consistent in learning.

DC: Who’s your fashion role model?

FC: Obviously our mums!

DC: Our mothers are real fashionistas.

FC: it’s crazy! My mum dresses to impress for any occasion doesn’t matter what it is and your mum just looks like she never makes efforts but looks stunning.

DC: They out dressed us at our wedding to be honest.

FC: Yeah, they just know what looks good on them. My love for clothes and dressing up came from mum since a young age. I’d always sneak into her wardrobe wearing all her clothes and she loved watching me being creative with it. She was super supportive.

DC: You have a lot of model friends who are successful designers, what have you learned from them?

FC: that I prefer wearing the clothes then making them… I don’t know, the process of designing is so personal and intricate I don’t think I could do it. It’s like how you are with music, I’d get so attach and separating myself from my designs for someone else to wear, I’d find it difficult.

DC: being a creative is hard.

FC: super.

DC: Your always busy, what do you do to wind down?

FC: I think my ideal chill time would be snuggling with you in bed with a glass of wine watching Love is blind.

DC: don’t expose me.

FC: haha, the faces you make every time something unhinged happens is my happiness. Your always at the end of your seat to know what happens next.

DC: it’s crazy how addicted I am to that show, I can’t get enough!

FC: movie nights with the kids is also a nice chill time.

DC: yeah, making memories are what’s important.

FC: definitely.

DC: What music are you enjoying right now.

FC: Baby Ariel just dropped her first album which was amazing.

DC: she’s killing it. Mary is always blasting her album!

FC: Yes, she great but I also love the newest song from you upcoming album.

DC: which one?

FC: sonder. it’s so good! It might be my favourite song of yours ever baby.

DC: shameless plug, the mv is out and it’s stars my wife so go check it out.

FC: shooting the music video was the best thing I’d done all year!

DC: Thank you babe, Lastly what was your favourite look from today?

FC: I can’t choose… I loved all of them! The black sheer dress was definitely a vibe though, which one did you like?

DC: I like them all too. I think the closest one to your style would be the oversized yellow Jack number you had on.

FC: I’m stealing it for sure.

DC: you looked badass.

FC: thank you baby.

DC: that’s it! Thank you all for joining us.

FC: bye guys.

[Moomins FC || In the caves...]

I hate doing painted backgrounds...

I wanted to make a sorta fake screencap featuring my FC and semi-self-insert Lily/Layla.

I already plan on making a full ref and bio for her, so her appearance may change a bit.

But for now, take this mini-story (under the cut, also I wrote this on the fly, so I apologize if it's shit)!

"So what happened Snufkin?"

Moomin asked excitedly, for Snufkin had finally made it back to the valley, after his latest journey.

"Well, I came across a village that was built right on the water!"

"On the water?" asked Moominmama

"Yes! The houses doubled as boats." He said as he took out a small box from his bag.

Everyone looked at the wanderer in awe, except for Sniff who looked worried.

"That sounds scary! What if it floods!?"

Snuf took a quick puff of his pipe before speaking.

"Apparently they've never experienced a flood. They say their village is protected by a goddess of sorts."

He took another puff.

"They called her 'The Mother of the Sea', supposedly she controls all the water, from the small streams to the biggest ocean, and she brings good fortune to those who praise her. "

Before anyone could say another word, Snufkin opened the small box. Inside was a pile of shimmering stones, that filled the room with a blueish glow.

"And I was given these as a parting gift-"

"Diamonds!?" Sniff yelled in excitement.

The mumurik chuckled and nodded his head.

"No, They called them 'Aquirio', the man who gave them to me said they actually form when water gets trapped in clear quartz. "

Sniff's face shifted to a frown, Moominmama walked over and patted him on the back.

"Well even if they aren't diamonds, they're beautiful!"

She said picking one up.

"And, I think they'd look lovely in my garden,"

she said as she turned the stone around watching the water slosh inside.

"Snufkin do you know if you can get anymore?"

She asked.

Snufkin simply shrugged.

"I wouldn't know, the man who gave me these said they formed deep in a cave, and that no one goes in there anymore."

Moominmama looked over a bit confused.

"Why not?" she asked, her head slightly cocked.

"Rumors say it's protected by a 'siren'."

"Siren?" everyone seemed to ask in unison.

Everyone except Moominpapa that is.

"I've heard of those things," He said sounding agitated.

"Nasty creatures! They lure in sailors with their songs, promising them their heart's desire, before sinking their ships and drowning them!"

Everyone's face shifted into one of fear. However, Snufkin still had his usual calm expression painted on his face.

"I actually walked by the cave to see if there was anything,"

"You did!?" Said Moomin.

"Yes, and while I was there I heard a voice singing, it was coming from inside, so...I walked in."

"Oh, my goodness..." Moominmama said a frightened expression plastered on her face.

"As I walked further, I noticed some bright lights shining in the distance. When I was close enough to who was singing, I saw...a girl- "

Everyone was hanging on his every word, staring at him, wondering what would happen next.

"She didn't look how I expected. She had these big black eyes, Bright blue hair, and a shiny light dangling from her forehead. When I got closer she swam away, I wanted to go after her, but the water was already pretty deep, and I dared not go any further."

[theboarsbride]

Also!

Which character has changed the most since your first draft of them, and how?

(God sorry for sending so many questions)

(OMG NO WORRIES I LOVE THESE KINDS OF QUESTIONS PLS KEEP SENDING THEM-)

But OH MY GOD!!!!! E D G A R. Edgar from The Monster and the Butterfly is the character that I feel has changed the most since the very VERY first draft of this story. Both in design and character! He and Sophie are some of my oldest OCs, with their story existing in some way shape or form for about 10 years when I first started writing in middle school!

Be prepared for a long post because omg I love rambling about the evolution of characters and stories, I hope you don't mind!!

Also I got excited about this ask so I included a rough visual of Edgar's previous designs:

Starting in 2014 he (or rather she) was Ophelia, a witch that cursed herself with a rogue spell, and her 'beauty' counterpart was a boy named Samael that was sacrificed to her by a witch cult lol. It was very cringe, very much 2010s Wattpad content (i mean...the story literally started with Samael waking up to his alarm and mom waking him up for school)... and I distinctly remember calling this story "Beautiful Beast" because I thought I was being very original with a female beast x male beauty story lmfao (i was not)

Then around that same time I discovered The Phantom of the Opera...meaning that Edgar was going to become a poorly done carbon copy of the Phantom lol. He was like this for about a year, and across the board he was a dragon shifter for some reason? I cannot remember why lol...and also I remember in these versions of the story he had a brother named Lazarus who's FC was Robby Benson, and his 'beauty' in this version was named Kristine and she had a son (???????). Again, very 2010s Wattpad cringe, very much plagiarized Phantom X Christine fanfic (i'm very sorry)

It was around 2016 when I discovered the movie Panna a Netvor/Beauty and the Beast (1979), a very gaudy, atmospheric Gothic horror retelling of the fairytale from then Czechoslovakia. I was OBSESSED With it (and still am!) so I wanted to create a bird-like beast like in the movie. At the same time I was also obsessed with stuff like Black Butler and Penny Dreadful so I was inspired to change this story set in Victorian Era London. But this version of Edgar was VERY horrible and very much made it a tragic horror story rather than Gothic romance. He was the one behind the Jack the Ripper murders, drinking the blood of woman to satiate himself, and had very poorly-written schizophrenia as he was 'haunted' by his dead mom. I did away with this idea around the time of the pandemic because I found the idea insensitive and overly-edgy. But nonetheless this was where TMATB as we know it came to be: Gothic romantic setting in late Victorian era London with a bird-themed beast and a main female character who was into gardening in some capacity.

Then story started becoming more romantic, Edgar went through another design change to now be a fleshy vulture-thing, and was now becoming a sympathetic, gentle beast who loved reading and ornithology. Still I wasn't satisfied in terms of his design tho.

So then around 2020, after wanting inspiration to create a more humanoid-looking beast (and getting such inspiration from Brad Dourif as Grima Wormtongue in the LOTR films and Danny DeVito as The Penguin in Tim Burton's Batman Returns), Edgar's design became this:

While remaining a romantic hero, his role has become the more feminine one in the romance: he is the one needing saving, he is the one often in distress, he reads romances often intended for women, he's a very passive romantic role, etc. Also, his character is now heavily inspired by historical figures like Joseph Merrick (a.k.a. The Elephant Man) and Quasimodo from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, so now he's a gentle, well-read, kind-hearted, traumatized emotional basket case we all love today!

I hope this is a satisfactory answer omg so sorry for the long ramble of a post!!

at the time zhi hua meets akai, she's about seven years old. they become fast friends and they often talk about sailing out to sea. but, because of zhi hua's position as a princess, akai's older brother forbids him from giving into her wishes as it would anger her parents.

[yam-d00dles01]

got a bunch of edited fc's to show off here :O

first we have seraphina

she is a spa worker, and she is the sweetest amongst the other workers, who are mostly snarky and rude. she loves her job, but when she gets too stressed, she calms down by listening to music; rock music!

next is milly

he is based on millenial tree cookie (we had a prompt on a discord server i'm in and we have to base our fc on a legendary cookie), and he is a giant forest spirit who has rested for a millennium before finally waking up. he is very calm, and he can shrink down in size, like with my other deity fc's, helios and selene

next we have ricardo

he is a professional dancer who likes to perform on huge stages or at nightclubs where he chooses a dance partner to dance with. he is very flirty and he likes to steal roses from his neighbour's garden XP (he's also enrique's and one of my friend's fc's brother)

now we have maximus

he is a delinquent, although he doesn't really commit crime, he's only in a delinquent gang to look cool. his appearance intimidate others but he's always willing to help others... unless he's around his gang-

second to last is kyung-mi

she's an adorable korean pop singer and while she wears cute outfits with sparkles on stage, she wears gothic outfits outside the stage, however she never shows her true self to the public as she fears of losing fame.

and lastly we have syncere (or mx. middlebrooks) (they go by any pronouns btw)

they are a black albino, and they work as a guidance counsellor. most of the students that enter her office to seek for any help on something never leaves unless she shakes her head to hear the beads rattle together. while he doesn't enjoy doing that since he takes his job quite seriously, he neevr takes them out because it looks cool amirite? (also the freckles on their face are painted on)

anyway that's all of them, like so if you wanna know more about them, send me an ask :>

NERO COMMONHART (barry keoghan fc) the odds are in your favor! Please report to your nearest Capitol Agent to be prepped for the 74th Annual Hunger Games!

ooc

Alias/Age/Pronouns/Timezone: nikki/26/she/her/central

Triggers: [REDACTED]

If you had to describe your muse as a canon Hunger Games character, or mix, who would you compare them to and why? He’s like… Katniss mixed with Johanna? But like a weird little freak version? 

Anything else? I hope I get accepted!!!

basics

[BARRY KEOGHAN, CIS MAN, HE/HIM] The 74th Annual Hunger Games are upon us and here comes NERO COMMONHART, a DISTRICT 12 TRIBUTE. Word around The Capitol is that they’re OBSERVANT and HARD-WORKING but can also be VENGEFUL and UNCARING. According to sources, they’re 24 and were once described as the runt of the family, a constant reminder of pain, taking hits to feel something, dry humor, and dreams deferred. What a character! As we always say, may the odds be ever in their favor!

biography

If he’d been born anywhere else, Nero’s life could’ve been completely different. Maybe he wouldn’t be here, at twenty-four, standing in front of his entire district with a black eye and permanent layer of soot under his nails, feeling certain this was the last time he’d hug his mother. She’d looked at him the same way since he was born– any maternal affection strained under a sheen of guilt, a twinge of grief that over the years wrinkled into the stubbornness of a hard-set jaw. This was the kind of face, Nero supposed, one could only find in the working districts, like 11 and 12. 

Sibylle and Evers Blackstone were like every other couple in District 12. They grew up together and had a brief courtship before they married; She was 16, he 17. At 18, Evers started working in the mines and newly-pregnant Sibylle gathered herbs and tended to her garden, creating a small harvest to sell and supplement their income. She gave birth to Mars in the summer, and he grew up to be the Blackstone family jewel, boisterous and strapping and admired. Diana came three years later and became Mother’s shadow, content to learn the soft parts of the earth. Life wasn’t perfect in District 12, but huddling together around the creaky kitchen table each night felt like enough.

When the warmth of family wasn’t enough to stave off the bitterness of a harsh existence and the daunting feeling that each of them were disposable in the long run… well, everyone had their ways of coping. Diana, the strongest in spirit of them all, favored wasting hours in midday with the schoolchildren, pretending for a while that she was one of them instead of a girl in the Seam, born to work. Mars quenched his need for adventure, for wide open spaces and possibility, in clandestine trips outside of the fence. The children knew better than to question Father on those days he came home reeking of the mines and a little something else, they knew not to ask about the way his big feet, once-graceful, tripped over the house’s uneven wooden slats. Sibylle, though, was an enigma. She would disappear for hours at a time once or twice a month, and aside from these vanishing acts, seemed perfectly content with her life.

They would later learn that Sibylle was making trips to see an old friend in town, Rian Commonhart. When Sibylle’s third child came out bearing Rian’s nose, it was impossible to deny the nature of their relationship. Hurt and embarrassed, Evers avoided his wife, electing to spend each evening at the tavern rather than watch her nurse another man’s son. Rumors say that this transgression ultimately led to Evers’ death six months later in a mining accident, people wondering if, perhaps, he wasn’t trying to escape something. Mars certainly agreed that it was Nero’s fault, and Diana was too shattered to make sense of it at all.

Nero grew up in this haze, with an inherent understanding that his very existence was a problem. He took his first steps while Mother watched lifelessly on from the table. Any attempt to engage with Mars and Diana were futile, so he was, in essence, an only child. He found solace in solitude and shadow, moving in silence and pilfering whatever he could get his hands on– books, tools, traps set in the woods. Nero took all of these things back to an abandoned mine shaft, the only place that felt like home. For the couple of years Nero had in school– age five to eleven– he stuck out like a sore thumb. He was hyperactive and talked to himself some, but was undeniably quick-witted. At his core, Nero knew he was smart, that maybe if he’d been born somewhere else he’d be an inventor or a writer.

But, he was wasted on 12, destined to be the recipient of his peers’ relentless need to ostracize and his brother’s neverending anger. Nero was smaller than the others his age, too, and certainly dwarfed in comparison to his step-brother, who not only had nine years on him but nearly a foot. Their fighting stayed verbal for a long time– anything from petty squabbles about who left the clothes on the line during the rain and blow-up fights about whether Nero should live with them or with his father, who hadn’t said more than ten words to him in ten years. 

Everything changed when Nero became a man. It felt like Mars had been saving up rage, tucking it away piece by piece and biding his time. Their first physical fight was the night of Nero’s thirteenth birthday. Out of her kindness, Diana had traded to get him a gift. A small, brass canary pin– a small token, but a sign that maybe he belonged here after all. When Mars learned that she’d entered her name in the reaping for this trinket, he was overcome with anger, sure that Nero had put her up to it, that Nero was conspiring to destroy the entire family from within. Mars quickly overpowered Nero, wailing on his face and his ribs and pinning him to the very same floorboards Mars’ father used to stumble across.

But every time, Nero got up, which only enraged Mars more. Nero learned that day that even if he wasn’t the strongest or the most skilled fighter, he could take a hit and get back up. The adrenaline rush was better than anything he’d felt– better than the whiskey he’d lifted from The Hob or the full, lazy feeling after an especially filling meal. He couldn’t get enough, and by the time he was fifteen, Nero had gone from using the old mine shaft for a hideout to hosting fights. There was no shortage of angry young men in 12, and it was an easy way to make a bit of income. Nero was never the best fighter, but his resilience became well-known among the regular crowd. Most saw the clandestine meetings as irresponsible at best and perverted at worst, and concerned parents and community members attempted to run Nero out of town on a handful of occasions– once because a fighter had lost hearing after being boxed repeatedly in an ear, another time because a particularly disgruntled fighter who remains unnamed traded his fists for a machete. 

It was the only place he belonged, and even there, it was predicated on not belonging– on the animalistic need to commit acts of raw violence or the twisted rush that came after a brush with death. They weren’t friends, any of them, more just strangers who shared a secret– but it was its own sort of release. Like everyone else, Nero began working in the mines at eighteen. With his first payment, Nero moved out of his mother’s house– far away from his brother, to a modest residence on the edge of town. His life of solitude wasn’t a good one, but it was his. At least, until his name was drawn out of a bowl at the front of town.
