Hi,

I was wondering if I could request a story. Alastor x reader although they’re more friends at the beginning. And something thats probably not canon.

The reader is doing research for the hotel trying to find proof that souls can be redeemed. In her search she stumbles across newspaper archives about the Louisiana killer. Knowing that its Alastor she becomes interested and through more digging she discovers that his victims were actually all criminals ie rapists, drug dealers etc. She prints some of the info out (I don’t know why) and then back at the hotel she accidentally drops some of the papers and Alastor sees them. I’m not sure where to go from here, I want Alastor to get a bit angry but reader assures him that his secret is safe with them.

I know its long I’m sooorrry! Let me know what you think.

💙💙

heyyy!! thank u for the request sorry it took literal ages to touch...this short fic contains NO ROMANCE sorry alastor lovers. but i hope you still enjoy!

◈ ══════════ ◈ ══════════ ◈ ══════════ ◈

After Charlie gave you a second chance at her hotel, saving you from the streets in the city of Pride, you were nothing but devoted to her cause. Offering her a hand in trying to prove that the damned can be forgiven and offered a spot in Heaven was the least you could do—although it wasn’t easy.

It was a late evening when you found yourself in an unkempt library at the edge of the city, only tended by a single employee that probably hasn’t seen a soul in weeks. Her excitement upon your arrival made you feel bad, seeing her nearly jump out of her chair as she greeted you made her loneliness awkwardly obvious. You exchanged pleasantries before meandering through the dusty aisles.

You had given yourself a challenge that you weren’t even sure was possible to complete; it seemed more so just busy work to keep you from getting bored at the hotel. Finding proof of redemption for one of Hell’s most prolific Overlords was crazy work, but you assumed if it was possible then virtually any other demon could be forgiven.

Fingers trailed over the spines of historical books and biographies, pursing your lips as you searched the overwhelming amount of titles at your disposal. As rundown as this library was, you would guess it had the inventory of hundreds of ordinary libraries you’d typically find while alive. It didn’t help that you really didn’t have a starting point—you had no clue if you’d even find anything written on Alastor. You only had a vague idea that he was a murderer in Louisiana.

By tedious preservation you eventually managed to find a biography very succinctly titled “Alastor - New Orleans Terror.” You clasped your hands together and raised it to the sky in relief before grabbing the dusty cover and bringing it to the front of the library. After a brief conversation and being asked to sign up for a library card—although more often than not books were never returned—you were on your way back to the hotel.

Charlie had provided you with a little office to do your work in, a small gesture as thanks for your dedication to her idea. You locked your office door and sat down at your desk, pulling a packet of sticky notes and a few pens closer before opening the biography on the resident Radio Demon.

A few hours later, around midnight, you decided to call it for the day with a hefty slam to the book cover. You pushed your chair away from the desk and stretched your arms above your head, bending your back over the head of the chair until a satisfying series of cracks went up your spine. You slumped back down and began to tidy up your area.

The book had a littering of tabs sticking out of the pages, numbered to follow the bullet pointed notes you wrote down on a few sheets of paper. You were pleasantly surprised with what you found out about Alastor, although now you weren’t sure how it would help Charlie’s case in proving all souls can be redeemed. Murder is bad, yes, undoubtedly, but a strong case could be made for Alastor regarding who and why he killed. His reasonings were rather… kind? Somehow? As kind as murder can be.

You tucked the loose pages into the back of the book, holding it firmly to keep all your notes contained. You clicked off your lamp, stood up, pushed your chair back under the desk, and left your office.

Investigators at the scenes of his murders always drew to a similar conclusion—his victims were often rapists, abusers, and two were even politicians with links to trafficking operations. Murder… could be forgiven in this case, right? Of course, Alastor is in Hell for a reason, he’s actually insane and extremely manipulative, but his reasonings for the actual crimes he committed were—

Your thoughts were cut off as you rounded the corner and full body slammed into the man of the hour himself. Shit, how did you not sense his presence? Or, better, how did he not sense yours?

The book in your hand flew almost comically a few paces away, pages scattering out and landing in a messy halo around the book. You took a few stumbling steps backwards, hand pressed against your nose, aching from the impact. Your eyes were blurred with pained tears as you lifted your gaze to Alastor’s smiling expression.

“Hey, shit, I’m sorry,” You said quickly, blinking the haze out of your eyes as you dropped your hand from your face. You began walking towards the book. “I should’ve been paying more attention.”

Alastor was faster, beating you to the mess with his much larger stride. “No worries at all, my dear!” He said all too cheerfully for it being the middle of the night. “Awareness goes both ways after all!”

He hummed as he bent over, swooping up the biography with his name plastered grandly on the front. His shit eating grin somehow doubled as he looked back at you, his long index finger tapping on the cover. 

“A fan?”

“Hardly,” You rolled your eyes, playing a bit coy to counter his confidence. “Just picked it up at the library. Since I work for Charlie I figured I could learn a bit about our more famous residents.” 

Your act didn’t seem to put a damper on his cheer as he briefly thumbed through the biography, but it didn’t take long for him to notice the numbered sticky notes. His red eyes casted towards you before looking down at the similarly numbered sheets of paper by his feet. You sucked in a breath before gritting your teeth. You could probably explain yourself through this if you thought fast enough. 

He knelt and gathered the pages, placing the book down so he could use both hands to shuffle through the papers. You waited, tense, as his eyes scanned your notes. As painfully quiet moments passed, you saw his brows furrow and grin grow tighter.

When he looked back at you, his expression remained calm, but you could tell by the harsher prickling of static on your skin that he was frustrated. 

“While I’m quite pleased to see someone so interested in my living affairs,” He said rather forcefully as he stood, papers still gripped tightly in one hand. “This extensive meddling is rather annoying. What was it they said about… that one curious cat?”

The air grew a bit dangerous with his words as his voice dripped with venomous radio static. You were frozen in place, thoughts flying in every possible direction for words to calm the Overlord.

“H-hey, I’m just working for Charlie, you know, like I said earlier,” Your explanation came in an embarrassing stutter. You figured you may as well just tell the truth, although leaving out the part that you chose to research him. Of course, maybe it would butter him up enough to let you go if you told him how interesting you found him and his previous life; you chose to keep your dignity for now.

“Well, I ask you to leave me out of it,” He responded quickly, and you knew he wasn’t really asking. You nodded feverishly, promising to obey and reaching for the papers in his hand. He tutted before moving his hand away.

“I assume you’ve dedicated quite some time to this research, no?” He mused, waving the stack of pages tantalizingly just out of your reach. You sighed in defeat, hand falling to your side. 

“Yeah, a bit,” You admitted, folding your arms. He laughed for a moment and then you saw a green aura emanate from his palm before a burst of flame consumed the papers. Your mouth twisted into a frown as you watched green-tipped embers of your hard work sizzle into nothing on the red carpet below.

“Well! Then that’s far too much sensitive information on my history, so better it to be gone,” He explained, patting his hands together to rid them of any remaining debris. His eyes then turned to the book, swiftly picking it back up.

“Such a fine piece of literature, really,” He sighed dreamily, theatrically tracing a finger over his own name. It almost made you sneer—what a self-absorbed prick. Then, that same green aura lit in his hand. “Shame it has to go.”

“Wait, wait, wait, that’s not mine, I need to give it back to—” A whoosh of bright flame cut off your pleas, and you groaned in aggravation as shards of the book crumpled by his feet. You watched in helpless defeat as Alastor burned any remaining bridges to his living history. Perhaps that book managed to slip under his nose all these years as he built up his title as an Overlord. Now you had the awkward chore of trying to explain to the librarian why you can’t return her book.

“So…” Shit, that ominous tone in his voice was back as he met your gaze. You couldn’t handle the eye contact, so you swiftly looked to the side, down the hall, in meager hopes that anybody could interrupt this scene and save your sorry ass.

“All that remains, my dear, is you,” He stepped closer, and you similarly stepped backwards. The air in the room suddenly felt too heavy, the lighting too dark. Were you crazy, or were the shadows in the corners stretching towards you?

“I can’t have you running around Hell, whispering my secrets into the ears of the unworthy majority, right? No… that wouldn’t do at all,” Another step forward from him, another back for you. This continued for a few steps before your back hit a wall, sending a freezing chill down your spine. You knew running would only enhance his drive to strike you down, so you remained stuck in place. 

The antlers on his head seemed to expand and grow sharper as he reached a hand towards you. You squeezed your eyes shut and grit your teeth. If anything, you wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of hearing your screams. 

The burn of flames never touched your skin, nor did the sting of tearing flesh. You cracked open your eyes, and saw that his arm hovered only a foot away from you, palm turned upwards. His piercing red eyes bore into your own, never leaving even when you struggled to meet his gaze.

“Unfortunately for me, maybe fortunately for you, Charlie is very fond of you,” He sighed dramatically. “But, still, I can’t have you walking freely around knowing what you know. You are now the last source of my history. So…”

His hand nudged, regaining your attention. You swallowed a lump in your throat, adrenaline still pumping through your entire body and creating an uncomfortable pounding in your head.

“My soul..?” 

Alastor’s eyes rolled before his grin curled maliciously. “Well, obviously, how else will I keep you from opening that mouth of yours?”

Your fingers instinctively reached towards your chest, toying with the fabric of your shirt. Was it really worth it?

“I don’t know how much of an incentive you need here, my dear,” He laughed, although his tone gave away his slight impatience. “You give me your soul and your silence, and I give you… your pitiful life. Hm. Sounds fair to me!” 

You chewed on your cheek. Man, fuck it, you didn’t really want to risk finding out if Charlie’s friendship was truly enough to keep Alastor from killing you. Your hand shot forward before you could give yourself any more time to ponder—or, any more time for Alastor to lose his patience and change his mind. 

As soon as your hand folded around his, a near blinding flash of green light forced your eyes shut as you turned your head away, a squealing and staticy noise filling your ears as you felt a heavy pressure on your neck and a lightness in your chest. In a brief moment, the room fell silent again and Alastor yanked his hand from yours.

You slowly opened your eyes again, timidly looking towards him. You didn’t really have any words at this point, only a sense of loss you couldn’t quite put a finger on.

“There, all settled,” He spoke cheerfully, a complete contradiction of his actions just seconds prior. “Have a goodnight.”

Without another glance, he turned heel and walked away, a light hum playing from his lips. You stood there, staring aimlessly down the hallway and then down at the carpet where blackened ashes of his history stood.

Honestly, right now you were just grateful you weren’t a part of the pile.

Hey.

First.

I love all your writing, they r fun to read and they make my day brighter ✨✨

Really Appreciate it.

Here is the request:

I wanted to request Solomon

We all know that his an old man ( whom we love so much ) and his based off the character from the Bible king Solomon.

If Solomon having 700 wives were true what would it be like

If MC and Solomon end up arguing over something stupid, MC just goes," Then am one of your collections to ? That's all I am to you! Right" something like that 😭

That line was horrible but something along those lines

It can be angst and fluffy.

Thanks a bunch! Wishing you an amazing day ahead!

Heyyy I absolutely love your request cuz duh. They make Solomon and the others seems like there was nothing before MC which is unlikely. Like I mean I'm pretty sure all of them had a few relationships before MC at some point or another. Anyway. Enjoy!

Author's note: I'll be posting short stories for the next few days since I'm working on a bigger story this time which will take a while. Hope it's not a problem.

Contains: Angst/Fluff

GN!MC x Solomon

You can find more of my work here: Masterlist

---

MC and Solomon had agreed to spend the evening together—just a quiet, uninterrupted night. But Solomon ended up running late, engrossed in some old spell or magical artifact he was researching, losing track of time. By the time he shows up, MC’s already feeling hurt and dismissed, thinking he prioritizes ancient things over their relationship.

MC: arms crossed, eyes narrowed as Solomon finally enters the room “Oh, look who finally decided to show up.”

Solomon: sighs, looking tired but trying to be calm “MC, I told you, I lost track of time. It happens. You know how important my research is.”

MC: “And I thought we were important too, Solomon. I’m not asking for much, just…a single night where I don’t feel like I have to compete with some dusty book or enchanted artifact.”

Solomon: growing defensive, a slight edge to his tone “It’s not a competition, MC. You’re acting like I’m choosing my work over you on purpose.”

MC: voice raising slightly, hurt “Well, that’s how it feels! You make these promises, but when it comes down to it, I’m always the one waiting. Why is it so hard for you to just…be here?”

Solomon: frowning “I’m here now, aren’t I? I don’t see why this has to be such a big deal.”

MC: glares, feeling even more hurt by his dismissive tone “A big deal? Maybe it wouldn’t be if this didn’t keep happening. You say you’re here, but half the time, I feel like I’m just a…just a side note in your never-ending list of priorities.”

Solomon: sighs, crossing his arms defensively “MC, I care about you, but I also have responsibilities—things that existed long before we ever met.”

MC: hurt, finally snapping “Oh, here we go—‘long before we met.’ That’s just it, isn’t it? This isn’t even about tonight; it’s about me realizing that I’ll never be more than one part of your centuries-long collection!”

Solomon: taken aback, not expecting that turn “What? Collection? MC, where is this even coming from?”

MC: “You probably don’t even see it, do you? How easy it is for you to just…move on, like I’m just another person you’re adding to the archive of your life. You’ve had 700 wives, haven’t you? Well, I guess I’m just another one for the record books, huh?”

Solomon: eyes widening in hurt, tone softening as he steps closer “MC, that’s not even fair. Those stories…they’re just stories, memories from lifetimes ago. I don’t know what I’ve done to make you feel like you’re ‘just another one,’ but believe me, you’re not.”

MC: arms crossed, looking away, voice trembling “It just…feels like I’ll never really matter to you. Not when you’ve had hundreds of people pass through your life like it’s nothing.”

Solomon: reaches out, resting a hand on MC’s shoulder, his tone soft and sincere “MC, I know my past seems…well, complicated, but I need you to believe that this is different. You’re not just part of my history. You’re the person I want in my present, and my future.”

MC: sighing, though still a little guarded “Then…show me, Solomon. Prove that I’m more than just a ‘number’ to you.”

Solomon: nodding with a small smile, determined “Every day, if that’s what it takes. I promise.”

heyyy its the anon who asked you abt rain world here, AND the one who mentioned they wanted to go into linguistics cause of clanmew! i decided to try translating a few rain world character names into clanmew for fun, since the way Clanmew's naming works already reminded me a ton of it, even if it doesnt match up 1-1. apologies if its sloppy, i tried to research but im a bit low on energy rn

Five Pebbles -> Rarra Wibra

Unparallelled Innocence -> Boe Eefrriwang Grryrr [little-sibling-ness i-contain] [really funny to me that you can shorten this one to beefgrr. that sure is ui in a nutshell]

Sliver Of Straw [VERY fun character. no she doesnt ever appear canonically in the game. ONLY one to achieve what thousands of other funny robots were trying to do] -> Ul-arra Kroon [one whole hay]

BRUH it's totally fine to not match up completely, but you knocked it out of the park anyway. The fun of seeing translation is exactly that every language has its own quirks and meaning, there is no 'perfect' reflection.

Sliver of Straw's is especially interesting, Clanmew fits them like a glove. You say they don't show up in the game, right? That totally fits the air of loneliness that Ul-arra contains. All they are is One Whole Hay, just a little lonely thing, that achieved a whole lot. You never meet them and yet you live in the shadow of their legacy

At least, I'm guessing lmao. I should play Rainworld sometime.

~Pure-Pure~ Michiru!!!

And now...I present to you..."Pure-Pure-Michiru"!!! A.K.A. Michiru as Pure-Pure Miku-chan~! I just thought that it'd be a good idea because of three things that crossed my mind rlly...

(Also this art was a bit rushed so some certain lil' parts like the face and stuff might look a little off sooo...umm yea...I hope u still like it tho...!)

Being that Rabbit Hole is literally EVERYWHERE, like once you enter the RABBIT HOLE, you can NEVER get out!!! Sooooo I just sillily decided to make this lil silly goober outta nowhere smh

Why Michiru? Tbh, for some reason when I first saw Pure-Pure Miku, I kinda saw some sorta Michiru-ish color scheme in that version of Michiru like here me out I know it more looks like a more suitable for Merm4id vibe and everything but heyyy who said that idols can't switch concepts!!! (Peaky P-key's Ideal Factor + Lyrical Lily's Wounded Innocence for example lol) so I guess that Unichord could also somewhat be mature at some point I guess... : 3

I am also planning to upload an A.I. cover of Michiru singing Rabbit Hole (and oh lord do I hope that goes well) aaand if you haven't seen or subscribed to my new up-and-coming-channel, then like what Morning Musume said Do it! Now~:https://www.youtube.com/@Lexy_B.J.WIt's fresh and new AND just starting, so the support of y'all would rlly mean a ton ngl!!!T H A N K Y O U ! ! !

P L E A S E R E A D:The character, Kaibara Michiru is from the D4DJ series, which RIGHTFULLY belong to Bushiroad, Donuts' Games, and ALL of the other companies + owners of the D4DJ franchise, and the Rabbit Hole and Pure-Pure Hatsune Miku RIGHTFULLY belong to Deco*27, Crypton Future Media, SEGA, Colorful Palette, channelcaststation, omutatsu, and all of the other companies + owners of the whole entire Rabbit Hole production, therefore Kaibara Michiru is NOT my original character, and the outfit that I made Michiru wear is not my original outfit, however this IS my original fanart.

Do NOT steal

Do NOT repost

Do NOT claim as your own(If you do any of 1-3, I will find ways to REPORT you)

This is just fanart so please do not take personally, however if I have done something that is discriminatory, please let me know IMMEDIATELY, and I promise that I will issue as soon as possible.

I respect all companies in charge of the franchises I am using and I encourage ALL of their works, and as my art is just fanart, it is made to SUPPORT their works, and to show my LOVE for the worksCopyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

Hey Mr. Sam! I'm not super acquainted with the fanfic community, so I'd like to ask a question in order to put some thoughts in order. I've seen this recent phenomenon where some readers will try feeding abandoned/hiatus'd fics into some sort of chaptgptesque thingum in order to finish them, and writers are, naturally, upset. My question then is: are they/you *largely* upset because a) said readers are basically saying the writing is boilerplate and predictable enough that it can be ML'd into a coherent continuation; b) there is a legitimate fear of how the data is used or the program is trained on it; c) there is fear that their unique style will be successfully "replicated" by AI; or d) some other reason? Thanks for the info!

heyyy sorry for not answering right away,

i want to give a caveat before i say anything else - i'm markedly more jaded than most fic writers i've seen on this topic, as a primarily visual artist who's used to my work being reposted, reused, sometimes even edited etc without permission. i haven't even bothered to edit my fics on AO3 to make them available to registered users only bc i'm just like, it is how it is. if machine learning algorithms want to put my ott kinky smut in their research data you know what, good for them i guess. maybe it'll make the results less biased toward vanilla straight people lol

but anyway, i think in general it's a mix of not wanting your data to be put into machine learning without your permission or knowledge, and just an overall frustration at how people who read fanfic, look at fanart etc online treat people who make that stuff like they're basically non-existant or just there to provide "content" to be "consumed." which i guess is part of why i'm already way past jaded about it; people have already been doing this to fanartists for years and years and years at this point LOL. i'm actually myself kind of frustrated seeing some writers talk about it as if it's a new phenomenon and proof that writers are treated less well than visual artists in fandom ? when ummm. i guess you just didn't notice until now bc it wasn't threatening you? which is fine but it gets kinda old after a while.

i personally just don't like people doing stuff with what i make without permission, as much as it is a losing battle at this point. so seeing people joyfully basically say like, "i don't care about the people making the things i like, i can just get this ''AI' to do it faster anyway!" is pretty disheartening, especially when it involves feeding works you might have spent months or years on into it. it's kind of an accumulation of negative feelings.

in the grand scheme of things i'm mostly over it tho. to me it's pointless to worry about it just like it's pointless to worry about the people disregarding my wishes regarding my art. all it does is cause me undue anxiety. which isn't to say measures shouldn't be taken against it, and i'm glad there have been moves recently to try and draft laws etc on the subject, but at my level there's not much i can do except say "please don't do that" so really it's whatever.

[holysaintscathedral]

Heyyy, guess what, a professor who's also a Catholic priest told us during a lecture that a LOT of Catholic priests have a long-term partner, sex included, and that they simply keep it a secret. And yeah obviously it was certain that some priests do have a secret partner but I didn't imagine the percentage to be so fucking high??

Oh also about 30 % (in my country at least) of Catholic priests are gay

Richard Sipe, who was a former priest himself and wrote several books on the abuse crisis and the Catholic priesthood, said about as much in his research. The numbers he gave was a fairly solid 50/50 between priests who consistently and intentionally practice celibacy and those who straight up just don't try. Priests fathering children has also been a problem for decades at this point and the Church still refuses to acknowledge that many of their priests are, not only sexually active and have long term romantic partners, but those same priests often have children.

Warnings: fluff, Rafe being cute and drunk at the same time, nice Rafe 🥵🥵, swearing. not much more💙💙💙

Staring off into space wondering what you should say sucks sometimes because you want to tell your therapist about the last time you saw him but...you don't instead of telling the truth and saying "We might have kissed." You say "I haven't seen him since the break up." Still wondering if you should say his name knowing if his name is brought up by either of you you would start crying your eyes out.

"Are you sure?" Your therapist says definitely not believing your last statement.

"What is that supposed to mean?" You say getting defensive at the question. Of course you don't want to tell your therapist that you hooked up with your ex who you've said you hated since you broke up.

She raises her eyebrow at the statement not knowing what to say next because she knows for a fact you will deny every accusation directed toward you. "Y/n, you're going to need to put Rafe in the past soon."

Y/n, getting ready to fake cry to make it seem like she cares but knows that she could just stop talking and leave anytime. "I-I don't know if I'm ready for that." You say completely faking but your therapist certainly can't tell and you can see that from her attentive look you are still trying to read because she makes this face so much amd you still don't know what I actually means after 4 years of weekly therapy.

You sit in uncomfortable silence for a while until her alarm goes off telling her that your appointment is over and it's time go get ready and go home. You've never stayed that late but today felt different. You leave the building and climb in your car and the first thing you do is check your phone and as always there is a text from Rafe saying "when do you get home? I want you."

You drive away smiling at the message when your phone dings again. This time it's a text from your best friend JJ Maybank saying "I just saw Rafe at the Club are you okay if I tell you what he said?" Looking at it wondering "what the hell?" But you can't respond because you're driving you decide to call JJ instead. "Hello?" JJ says in his goofy voice he uses when he talks to you. "Hi...?" You say unsure as to why you really HAD to call him.

"So do you want me to tell you what he said?"JJ asked truly curious.

"Uhh...I guess?"You say still confused. "You better hurry up. I'm almost home and I'm having some people over for dinner" you come up with quickly not knowing if he believes it you're still proud of yourself.

Oh okay...anyways he said and I QUOTE drunk off his ass "I miss y/n" Like What the actual hell does that mean? Right?" He says in disbelief.

You just having to go along with it say "yeah that is really weird" dragging your words for a little bit before you get to your front soon and start grabbing your keys from your backpack. "Okay I have to go guest's will be here soon and I still need to clean up a little bit byeeee"

Okay. I love you by-" he says as he gets cut off by the beep telling him you hung up in a rush.

As soon as you hang up you text rafe to hurry up because you're finally home amd he quickly jumps in his truck and speeds across the two block between your houses wondering why he didn't just run he knocks on your door and as he waits impatiently for you to open the door he starts yelling at your camera you have by your front door "Hurry up! I need to touch you!" He says with his words slurred and stumbling just a bit. And as you open the door you see him almost fall on top of you.

"What the hell, Rafe?" You say truly worried.

"Heyyy babyyyy! How wass youur dayyyy? Sluring every other word unknowingly. You sit him down on the bottom step of your stairs in the foyer to your house.

"Hey, hey, hey. What happened handsome?" You say absolutely confused but also happy that JJ knew exactly what happened.

Rafe shocked you called him handsome looks at you in complete adoration and love "HI Beautiful...nothing happened I just had.......a lot of tequila." He says while counting on his fingers and raising all of them to show you he doesn't know how many.

"Babe! You can't do shit like this to me and forget to mention it." you say sternly so he knows you're talking to him.

"I'm sorry baby! I just wanted to say I loved you." He says trying to sober up a little bit so he can smile without the influence of alcohol.

You laugh at his attempt at charming you. "It's okay. Hey, let's get you washed up and in bed. Okay?" You say softly knowing how bad of a headache he'll have in the morning.

"Okay." He says already drifting off to sleep.

"Nope! Come on Big Boy! You need a shower first and then we can cuddle and watch movies all day tomorrow." You say knowing neither of you have work or school tomorrow.

He smiles and nods his head in response because he is wayyy too tired to answer as of right now.

The next morning you wake up to an empty bed. You get up and slowly and quietly walk down the stairs, turn into the kitchen and lean on the doorway to the attached dining room just staring at the bare back facing toward you.

You can't help but just stare for a few minutes blacking out shortly after and you come to your senses with Rafe standing in front of you with his arms wrapped around your waist. "Good morning, Beautiful." He says with a sleepy smile.

"Hello. Why are you up so early?" You say with a quizzical look on your face.

"Sweetheart, it's 2pm." He says wondering how long you were awake last night.

"Oh, well, Good Morning to you too." She says with a small still half asleep smile. "What are you making for breakfast?" You say needing answers as to why your ex boyfriend/little hookup is snooping around your kitchen cooking you breakfast after he came to your house drunk last night.

"I wanted to be nice. Is that so bad Pretty Girl?" He asks truly curious. You stare off not knowing what to say.

"Sorry, I know your trying to get better but why were you so drunk last night?" You ask wanting to know what happened for him to leave his 2 months of sobriety for a whole night of drinking just to be happy the next day and act as if nothing happened.

"I don't know. I think it was about you not answering my text last night, maybe." He says ashamed at his prior actions.

"Babe, I was at therapy and didn't see your text until I was home. Okay?" You say with a tad of empathy in your eyes but then again he is a legal adult and should know better.

"Oh, sorry." He says asking himself why he did it mumbling to himself so fast not even an auctioneer could tell what the hell he just said. You walk over to the cabinet above your dishwasher to grab a few plates from the top shelf and when you seem to struggle you feel a large set of hands on your waist lift you and place you about a foot away from the cabinet. He reaches up and grabs the plates. And slowly inches you toward the dining room so you still don't know what's for breakfast.

He brings in a large stack of Chocolate chip pancakes and a bottle of syrup. When he sets everything down he walks away back to the kitchen doing this all while being completely silent and when he walks back in he's holding a large bowl full of your favorite mix of fruit (you can tell me which fruit you want and I'll eventually make a little run down of EVERYTHING about y/n if you just dm me or send me an ask about it I will do all of it if I see yours first like favorite color fruit etc.) When he sats down the bowl in front of you he places a slight peck to your forehead and you act like you pass out to cover the fact that you're blushing at the action.

"Princess, Are you okay?" He says truly worried about your head being stuck down because you refuse to look up at him.

"Fuck!" You say looking up terribly red. He just smiles at you realizing why you're bright red.

"I'm sorry, Beautiful. I didn't realize that's why you suddenly became so shy." He says attentatively toward you.

"It's okay I just wasn't expecting that kiss. Thank you for breakfast by the way." You say genuinely grateful.

"Brunch, Beautiful. It's brunch." Rafe says Matter-of-factly. You look at him and roll your eyes sarcastically.

"Fine! Brunch!" You say enunciating oddly.

"That's better. How was therapy yesterday?

You look at him with an awkward smile "it was..." You stop wondering what the hell to tell him "It was therapy for sure." You look at him after saying that with the most uncomfortable, disappointed 'why did you ask' kind of stare.

"Babe...what does that face mean?" He asks genuinely curious not knowing what to say next.

"I...I don't know, honestly." You say absolutely positive you DO know.

"Okay...hurry up and eat. I want to watch a movie." He says urgently.

"Which movie?" You say really scared as to what movie he has chosen to make you watch.

"Mmm" He says to think for a little bit longer not expecting such a fast response to his statement.

"Mmm what? What is happening in that odd brain of yours?" You say quietly after a few seconds of comfortable silence.

"I know what movie we're going to watch." He says suddenly. Acting weirder rhan normal.

"Okay...?" You say after wondering what kind of weird-ass stuff he's doing.

Sorry it's a little bit everywhere didn't really know what to do bc this was my first story so...yeah! If you enjoyed please let me know and do the same if you want more too. I was kinda throwing this together over the span of like...4 days? Idk. Hope you liked it bye<333

[s-4pphics]

i have a question. im trying not to come off as ignorant and uneducated about this topic ,idk if its working . but to preface . i am completely with Palestine on this and I don't have a sliver of doubt abt the fact that the genocide going on is absolutely fucking horrible

so, on 7th oct when hamas attacked Israel, many people were killed and from what I've read so far many people were tortured and women were raped. so what exactly is the pro-Palestinian stand on hamas and its activities

im aware that the current genocide wasnt 'provoked' by the events of 7th October because this has been going on for decades. I did a lot of research about this all the way from balfour declaration right after 7th October. i thought I was thorough but now I'm a little confused about everyone's stand on hamas.

i am completely in the side of the genocide being stopped and I guess the stand on hamas is irrelevant now sort of.

all the research that ill be doing now , I'm sure wont be the most accurate anyway because the media is dominated by zionists who are clearly taking one side and showing biased information .

heyyy so no opinion on hamas is streamline but for me……. what did yall expect them to do??? LOL palestinian bloodlines have been sought and wiped out for almost 100 years STRAIGHT and now that the resistance was created by the DIRECT VICTIMS OF LIFELONG TORTURE AND VIOLENCE are retaliating with the same methods used against them and their families, they’re the villains???? so many palestinian civilians/refugees were raised in sadistic environments from adolescence, and i don’t blame them or their reactions in the slightest. if hamas were to commit any terror it would simply be a result of their environment; if anything, hamas forming should display how vile the government/military forces in israel actually are.

any form of violence is wrong and whatever but ANYTHING that hamas potentially commits will never compare to the lifetime of destruction that palestinians have experienced under israeli dominance. idc what anybody says 🤷🏽

lalalla

so like weeks earlier we were assigned to report about a certain Thing. we had ample amount of time to prepare for and i decided to let the work go to two people (who were seemingly close too) to make the presentation. let them do the research and make a cohesive presentation. (i also contributed my small research effort) they sent the work, and i reviewed it. i analyzed my assigned slides in presentation and jotted down a summary for myself to explain in front. the report later got postponed to next week (today)

and suddenly THEY UPDATED THE CHAT TO SAY "heyyy guys we updated the presentation. just follow the flow as we planned". but also btw THE RESEARCH INPUT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST PRESENTATION SO I HOPE YOU CAN DO WELL WITH IT"

SO. SO. THE NOTES I WROTE DOWN IS USELESS 😭😭😭 I GUESS ILL JUST IMPROV MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME. IVE DONE THIS A LOT BEFORE. IM BLINDLY READING BUT SURELY I CAN UNDERSTAND ALONG THE WAY

AND THEN. THEN. THEN. THE COMPOSITION OF THE PARAGRAPH FELT SO. ODD. AND NOTHING MADE SENSE!!!!! I WAS WONDERING WHY DIDN'T THEY USE MY RESEARCH INPUT TOOO

it's also worth mentioning that the two girls who worked on this ppt made me the punching meatbag to handle my teacher's confused queries about the presentation. WHY ME. YOU BOTH WROTE IT. AT LEAST HELP ME ...? (one of them also just made me READ THEIR NOTED UM. WHY ARENTU READING IT 😭)

I STOOD THERE SO UNCOMFORTABLY 😭😭😭AND THEY JUST KEEP TALKING WITH EACH OTHER IDKIDKIKD EXPLODES I WANTED TO EXPLODE SO BAD I WAS STARING AT MY MERCH TO COPE BROTHER....

and then one of the girls whispered to me "hey 🥺 can u go tell the professor that we have another presentation (the one I STUDIED) we can use instead? 🥺 just tell him so that we can stop this embarrassment 🥺"NGNNGNGBGHFBFBFGJGJHGGHFHFHFF DELTARUNE EXPLOSION SFX WHY!!!! AREYOU TELLING ME!!! TO DO THAT. WHAT ABOUT YOUUUUUU YOU BOTH WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PPT WHY MEEE 😭

so. i walked up to him. explained the matter. he was so surprised and hes like well damn of course go ahead then! but since we were taking too long so we shifted to the next group to reportfngnbfndnfnfnfjff my teacher walked up to the two girls and said "did you use ai? did you copy this word for word somewhere?" then they said "we kinda did but we searched!!!" and it made me realize. they used ai to make the ppt. threw all our research out the windowndjfjfjdjdjdjdjdjj and now im here aggressively writing this down to just calm down

i hate homework ai im genuinely so mad

〰〰〰〰〰〰

The Next Day:

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I look up from my phone and poured my coffee into my fall-themed mug filling it with hot coffee that made the kitchen instantly smell like pumpkin spice.

DING DING

I heard my phone buzz, as I looked at the top corner of the screen I saw an unknown number text me:

Guess whooo?

" Ow shit, " I said to myself accidentally splashing myself with coffee again.

Why does that always happen to me?

I wipe my hand with the kitchen towel and grabbed my phone staring at the text

Well, it would have to be Josh right?

I texted back:

Me: Josh?

I then set my phone down on the counter and sat down at the kitchen table sipping on my hot pumpkin spice coffee.

DING DING

Dang, that was fast

Josh: Ding ding correct! How are you on this crisp fall morning? Did you dream of me again?

Me: Surprisingly no actually. Did you?

Josh: Same. Probably the universe wanted us to keep dreaming about each other until we officially met

Me: Josh you're so cheesy 🤣

Josh: Heyyy it may sound cheesy but you never know. Especially in our crazy situation

I chuckle at Josh's texts responses, then started to think, well everything happens for a reason.

DING DING

I look at my phone again and see Josh text again:

Josh: Hey, would you like to attend our concert tonight? When you arrive just head backstage and tell security your name they'll let you in

I look up from my phone and think for a bit

I'm an introvert at heart so I hardly go out and especially in places where it's crowded

I look at my phone and looked at the text

Everything happens for a reason

Me: Sure :)

Josh: Sweet!! It starts at 8 tonight, see you there!

I look up from my phone and softly smiled at the thought of seeing Josh again.

" Shit, then I need to start planning my outfit, " I say out loud fumbling. I immediately opened the app Pinterest and looked up some ideas on what to wear.

" Ah! Perfect " I say out loud knowing an idea of what to wear for tonight. I stood up and went into my room quickly and fumbled in my closet throwing pieces of clothing here and there to find the perfect pieces.

After some digging, I found the exact pieces I wanted which were, a pair of black skinny jeans, a black leather jacket, my favorite pair of doc martens, and the perfect black fitted top that outlined my curves and topped off with a belt. I gathered the pieces together and placed them on my bed for when the time came.

I looked at my phone,

12:00 PM

Could make some lunch and surf on some more Pinterest to make the time fly

〰〰〰〰〰〰

I unlocked my phone again and saw it read,

6:00 PM

" Alright, let's get ready right now.. Shit, I need to text him for the directions there. Hopefully, it's not that far, " I said as I pick up the clothes that lay on my bed and changed into them. I pull the fabric over my head out of breath and took a look in the mirror, " Oh hell yes I look hot " I say flashing a smile at myself in the mirror. " Time for makeup now, " I say sitting down at my makeup desk and setting out the makeup products I was thinking of using. " A very tedious process," I say as I pulled up a makeup inspiration picture for reference.

After a very steady makeup process, I stood up looking at myself once more in the mirror. " Damn, this look really pulled off, " I say chuckling being surprised at how good this outfit turned out. I pulled out my phone and texted Josh:

Me: Could you send me the directions pls? Heading there in 10! :)

I then headed downstairs and got my car keys. Before leaving I took once last look in the mirror and smiled of satisfaction.

DING DING

I look at my phone turning it revealing Josh’s text sending me the address. I opened the address and went on Google Maps.

Nice it’s only 10 minutes away

My eyes then switched to the time on the top left of my phone screen and saw the time which read,

7:40 PM

Shit better start driving now

I headed out the door and hopped into my car starting the engine immediately as I opened Google Maps and driving my way to the destination.

After some time driving my way to the destination I glanced at my Google Maps

1 Minute Away

I immediately felt the butterflies filling my stomach. I let out a slow breath trying to calm my nerves.

“ Take a left turn and you’ve arrived at your destination, “ The female robotic voice said coming through my phone. I took a left turn into what looked like a huge arena. “ Holy shit this is huge- “ I started to say but was cut off by a man wearing a yellow vest, he was probably guiding the traffic. “ Hi there, are you here for the show tonight? “ He says holding a clipboard and a pen in his other hand.

“ Hi, um I didn’t know if I needed to be parked differently but I’m here alongside with the band. “

“ What’s your name? “ The man says flipping some pages of the papers that sat on his clipboard. “ Y/N, Y/N Y/L/N. “ I say looking at the man and his clipboard hoping he finds me on the list. “ Ah, yes I found ya, “ “- You can park at the back of the arena you’ll see parking where it says ‘ VIP ‘ “

“ Okay, thank you “ I say nodding to the man then pushing the gas pedal and started to drive around the back of the arena to park at the ‘ VIP ‘ section. “ VIP VIP where is it-ah here it is! “ I say finding the parking spots then backing up into a spot. I glanced at my car clock on my stereo and widen my eyes,

7:53 PM

“ Shit shit “ I curse getting out my car quickly and looking around trying to find where the hell to go

So much people

So much to look at

I look directly in front of me to where a door said,

BACKSTAGE ENTRANCE

I let out a slow exhale calming my nerves as I started to adjust my hair. I started to walk my way over to the backstage entrance and turned the knob. The knob wasn’t budging. “ Shit, I must need like a card key “ I say recognizing the key detector on the side of the door. “ Dammit! “ I curse as I look at my phone clock which read,

7: 55 PM

“ Fuck it “ I say running around the main entrance where probably hundreds of fans were surrounding the building and were in sections of lines that lead into the doors. “ Gosh, I’m gonna feel so bad “ I say to myself thinking of an only way plan into my head in order to be backstage on time.

“ Sorry sorry, excuse me “ I say politely trying to make my way through the crowded space. “ Sorry excuse me, right behind ya “ I say making my way through one of the line sections. Fans were giving me dirty and confused looks.

“ Hey you can’t cut! “

“ Hey! “

“ Hey, we’ve been waiting for hours out here you can’t cut! “

I heard a couple of people say to me in the distance as I started to run now finally making my way through the long sections lines of people

Holy shit the adrenaline

“ Security get her! “ I heard someone say. I turned my head around still running as I saw two big security guards spotting me and chasing after me now. “ Fuck, I promise this isn’t what it looks like “ I say as if anyone could hear me.

“ Stop right there! “ One of the security guards said. I quickly analyze my eyes around the crowed areas to try to find where fuck backstage was.

“ Finally, here it is-fuck, more security guards blocking that area too! “

Everyone’s eyes were on me now, couple of phones were to be seen recording me at the show I was practically making now. I began to run fast towards backstage which I was so close to now.

“ Quit resisting! “ One of the guards said in front of me trying to chase me as I dodge his every move trying to enter backstage praying Josh would see me so he would tell the guards I was on the list.

I continue to run for what seemed like forever now as my legs start to get sore. “ Maybe taking cross country payed off after all. “

My clumsy ass then tripped on my untied lace making me fall face first. “ Ma’am you are going to have a talk with the police. “ One of the guards says to me immediately holding both of my hands behind my back as I was still on the ground on my stomach

Fuck

“ Hey!! She’s with us! “ I heard a familiar voice in the distance. I look up and see Josh in a gold jumpsuit running forward. “ But Mr. Kiszka- “ “- She’s with us I said “ Josh says giving the guard a stern look. The guard slowly releases his grip from my wrists as I then tied my shoe quickly then stood up seeing Josh again

Wow, this man gets more beautiful every time I see him

“ Are you okay? “ He says giving me warm eyes. I nod and gave a chuckle. He nods back giving a warm smile and rests his hand on my back showing me backstage

“ I’m glad you came! “ “- and wow you look beautiful. And apparently you’re badass too “ Josh says giving a chuckle at the end. “ Haha yeah um, backstage entrance was locked “ I say feeling heat spread across my face. “ Shit, thats my bad I should’ve had someone guide you unlocking the door “ Josh says with a frown. “ Don’t worry about it, I’m here now, “ “ Well please make yourself at home! Snacks and drinks are on the side here- “ Josh says as his hand motions to the side which showed a whole table that presented snacks and a variety of drinks that looked delicious.

You could then hear a loud guitar riff through the speakers and screaming that came straight after it.

“ Enjoy the show! And please stay after so we can catch up on some more of you’d like! “ He says holding both of your hands together excitingly. You chuckle at his cute actions and nod with a smile.

“ Score! “ Josh said raising his fist above him in a cheering manner as he made his way up stage where the fans screamed even louder seeing Josh hop onto stage. I chuckle at his dorkiness.

“ How we feeling today?! “ Josh said loudly into the mic as the fans cheered back loudly in response. “ Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em! “ Josh said that made everyone chuckle. A guitar was then heard loudly booming through the speakers that were placed everywhere. You bob your head along with the riffs getting into the music.

“ Did you know there was a tower? Where they look out to the land to see the people quickly passing by. This is for their own desire. As they spit down to the earth to feel the power pouring in their veins. Woh ho ho ho ho yeah, yeah. Woh ho ho ho ho yeah, yeahhh. And the black smoke rises! From the fires we’ve been told! “

I stare at Josh completely entranced by his voice, beauty and movements

How his hair bounced along with his movements

How his hands gripped onto the microphone

How he would flash a smile to the crowd after taking a breath

And how he would tilt his head back closing his eyes and opening his mouth a bit exhaling which made thoughts wander in your head that you couldn’t help but have

“ It’s the new age crisis! And we will stand up in the cold, stand up in the cold… “ Josh sang into the mic then moving it away from his lips as he now turned his head towards you and looking into your eyes and you looked into his immediately getting butterflies.

He makes everything seem so possible

[a-flickering-soul]

Heyyy so I saw you studied BME, which is honestly so cool!!! I actually just graduated high school and am planning on studying biomed for uni, and I guess I was just wondering if you ever regret studying it, rather than electrical or mechanical eng? And if you were able to find a job in the field? Thank you so much 💗💗 hope you have a great day, and congrats on graduating!

Awwwww hello Anon!!! Congrats on graduating high school, you worked hard!!

The question of whether to study biomedical engineering, which is known as a jack-of-all-trades kind of engineering major, as opposed to a more traditional discipline (chemical, electrical, or mechanical) is a question that my BME friends and I discussed a lot. I personally don't regret that choice at all--I really liked getting a foundation in chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering concepts, and then being able to focus in on what facets of biomedical engineering I really enjoyed through using those foundations. For example, I took Statics & Dynamics (which is a very Mech-E topic) and had a lot of fun with it! So I went on to specialize in Biomechanics and Mechanics of Biomaterials, which I really loved and wouldn't have known to focus on if I had taken pure chemical or electrical or mechanical engineering.

By the nature of BME, you'll get an okay foundation in a lot of different topics that also helps you work better in multidisciplinary teams IMO--I can chat with robotics engineers, manufacturing engineers, pharma engineers, etc, and have a pretty okay idea of what they're doing. I find that to be a really valuable skill, especially when you start working in any capacity, be it a full-time job, a research position, or any other iteration. I absolutely don't regret my decision, especially looking at the coursework other engineering majors had to take (it's a lot more bearable for me personally to learn complex concepts like fluid dynamics and thermodynamics when it relates to a topic I love, which is the human body).

And I actually just started my full-time job in a field related to my studies! I'm currently working in Regulatory Affairs for a medical device company, where I interface with Marketing, R&D, Medical Education, and a bunch of other departments to help bring medical devices through the 510(k) process to market. Technical backgrounds like engineering are useful in a lot of different fields even outside of engineering roles, and having a more narrow field like biomedical engineering can make you more competitive when it comes to companies that might not want to spend time having to catch you up on biology and anatomy.

This got really long, but I love talking about my field and my engineering experience, especially to people who are considering pursuing it! If you have any more questions, please please shoot me an ask or DM me, it would be my pleasure to help!

[mirrinbelde-shitposts]

Heyyy!

Here fr d game!

Umm im guessing ur an pisces mercury*hehe jst types wht comes to mind at 1st

Also i wont mind if u post it publicly or send me privately

Here is my birthchart(tropical)

Lawl SUSPENSE..Hehe

Anw Have a great day/night ahead🤍🥂

Guessing was fun tho..evn if i guessed wrng one💀🤣

Hey!! You did guess wrong, sorry about that xd but it's oki, don't worry about it! Have a good day too ^^

Welcome to your reading. Please remember to send feedback.

First impressions when looking at your chart: you don't have a lot of aspects, but a lot of them are exact: that wedge patter between Saturn, Venus and Mercury is very exact; you have an even distribution of planets among the signs and the houses; also, the angles (except IC) all conjunct planets or points

SUN IN AQUARIUS

As an Aquarius, you are quirky, aloof, dreamy and humanist. People may think you're awkward and detached, which is probably true for you since your Sun is at 0º of Aquarius. Your originality and uniqueness are probably the things you love about yourself the most. Your mind is also quite agile, which allows you to fulfil your dreams. Nevertheless, we cannot ignore the fact that the Sun is in Detriment in the sign of Aquarius. This means that the Sun can struggle here, making you feel confused as to who you are and how you can express yourself. You very much value your independence and your rebelliousness. However, you can be stubborn to a fault when it comes to your thoughts and opinions.

SUN IN THE 7TH HOUSE

The Sun in the house of Libra shows that you really enjoy socializing and that's also where you shine the most brightly. The Venusian influence gives you charm and elegance, which cause people to flock to you. Also, you may show your true colours in relationships, particularly romantic ones. Having someone close to you will allow you to achieve a better understanding of yourself. You do well when it comes to working with others; this placement helps the detached, independent Aquarius Sun to be more sociable and better appreciate others. Also, the Venus influence can make people look up to you and see themselves in you, something that doesn't really happen with Aquarius Suns in generally. You may do well in associations or organizations because you have a need to be in society.

MOON IN CAPRICORN

Once again, you have a planet in Detriment. Capricorn, the sign of Saturn, struggles to feel and voice the emotions they experience. Therefore, it is natural that the Moon finds this sign difficult. You think too much. Perhaps you had a complicated relationship with your mother, which may have caused you to repress your emotions. Capricorn placements, in general, tend to grow up and mature quite early, which leads to unhealthy coping mechanisms; you had to raise your walls up high, so you struggle to let anyone in. You may also be socially awkward. At the same time, you may seek validation from society, which is one of the things that may give you that emotional security that you deeply seek. You should work on letting your guard down; emotions are not the enemy, it's okay to feel what you feel. Let out your inner child once in a while.

MOON IN THE 6TH HOUSE

Here, the Moon is in the house of Virgo (but lying almost on top of the Descendant). There is a strong connection between body and mind. You seek emotional safety through your work and other acts of service; you want to be useful to people and to spend your time wisely. You may be a workaholic. Your routines are very important to you; you can get distraught if someone messes with your daily habits. Your health may be a concern to you, but since your Moon is harmoniously aspected, I'd say you're generally healthy. Nevertheless, watch for any hereditary diseases or problems with food or alcohol. The square with Mars suggests to me that you can quickly let out your anxieties. You like discipline, organization and cleanness; you are determined in the pursuit of your goals. You may have a vocation to work directly with people. Your moods may change quickly.

MERCURY IN CAPRICORN

With Mercury in Capricorn, you speak in a very structured, pondered way. You are very analytical and it shows in the way you communicate. You're a realist, but people may think you're more pessimistic. You definitely tend to be pessimistic at times, as well as distrustful and sceptical. You like to research, to gather information before speaking. You're concrete in your thinking, logical and organized. You take your time to make decisions; you weigh all the pros and cons carefully. Probably not the one to daydream or have many fantasies; you prefer the realistic and achievable. Although you're mostly serious, you can be playful sometimes.

MERCURY IN THE 6TH HOUSE

Capricorn Mercury is similar to Mercury in the house of Virgo. You are probably a perfectionist person, determined and organized. You analyse everything, yourself and your emotions included. You're very critical, especially of yourself. You hold everyone to high standards; once again, yourself the most. Like Capricorn Mercury, you can have pessimistic tendencies. You probably repress your feelings and rationalize them instead. Additionally, your knowledge can progress through daily life experiences and through your body. You should practice meditation and mindfulness because your anxiety and stress may have a direct effect on your bodily health.

VENUS IN PISCES

Venus is exalted in Pisces. This sign is intuitive, empathetic and emotional, which are traits that Venus likes. You feel everything and negative energies really get to you, so it's important that you find a partner that gives you emotional stability. You make a good lover, for you are caring and sensitive to people's needs, especially your partner's. Venus here gives you ethereal, alluring vibes. You can seem almost magical to people. You can be very protective of those you love, selfless; you can even sacrifice yourself for them. You're a daydreamer, you live in your own fantasy world. You have great aesthetic taste and you're quite romantic. However, be careful not to be taken advantage of; your too-good nature can land you someone whose intentions are far from the best.

VENUS IN THE 8TH HOUSE

Venus here acquires some Scorpio traits, namely the need to get a deep connection with someone. You are a person of extremes, not of middle-terms. In this sense, you can get effortlessly get people to open up to you, to tell you their deepest, darkest secrets. Since the (H also rules other people's money, you may get rich through an inheritance or a good marriage. Also, people may trust you with their money. In love, too, they aspire to learn everything about their partner. You seek transformative relationships, ones that will allow you to experience a different range of emotions, another dimension, even. Casual relationships are probably not your thing. You can get too controlling and dominating, so beware of that. Also, financial security is important to you; you may even have a job that has directly to do with money.

ARIES MARS

Here, Mars is in its rulership. You are quite reckless and impulsive in your actions. You like to be the first, to be the pioneer (much like Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac). You have a knack for leadership and people tend to be happy to follow your lead. You are quite competitive in just about everything; you can have a sour loser. You are quick to get mad, but after you explode, your anger will be gone in an instant. You are great at achieving goals because Mars helps you to stay motivated and determined; you are quite persistent and usually get what you want. You can also work well under pressure. Laziness is not in your blood. Your independence is quite important to you, as are your opinions. You can be quite stubborn and difficult to argue with, simply due to your relentlessness.

MARS IN THE 9TH HOUSE

Your Mars is in the house of Sagittarius. This placement allows you to acquire the necessary willpower for the journey to the expansion of knowledge and discovery. Your actions should help you with the acquisition of further knowledge, as well as ideas and strengthening your freedom. This placement goes against the need of routine imposed by your 6th house placements; Mars here wants you to get out there, be free, have fun, think about life, yourself and the universe. You have strong morals and philosophical ways. This placement may make you strongly seek, hunt, even, the truth of the fundamental questions. On another note, you can develop an attraction to foreign people and may wish to move away from home swiftly and without hesitation. This can be abroad too.

JUPITER IN VIRGO

Jupiter is in Detriment in Virgo. Whilst Jupiter is all about philosophy, the higher mysteries and expansion, Virgo seeks for the concrete, for what it knows, for the logical and rational. Therefore, this placement requires work. You are sceptical, you need to think and analyse everything before you come to a conclusion. Growth is achieved through responsibilities and being useful to others. A bit of idealism would be good, Jupiter struggles in Earth signs. You may think that you know more than you actually do, that you see the bigger picture when that is not true. Be careful not to grow an ego. Your beliefs will be challenged in this lifetime. You have a desire to help people, and in relationships too you want to do everything in your power to aid your partner.

JUPITER IN THE 2ND HOUSE

This placement generally brings good luck when it comes to money and other worldly possessions. You may also like to spend money, more on your loved ones than on yourself. You may be big into giving gifts. In order to reach that emotional security, you may wish to surround yourself with material items that, to you, hold great value and importance. Once you understand how better to acquire that stability, you may become rather generous with your money. You want a comfortable lifestyle. Like Venus in the 8th house, you may be good at managing your possessions, thus causing others to go to you for financial advice. You may not show it, but you have strong philosophical convictions, which may prove to be impossible to change.

SATURN IN CANCER

Saturn is in Detriment here, which makes it four planets in Detriment in your chart. You may feel a strong need for emotional safety, which could manifest as a fear of abandonment. There may also be some emotional blockages present that you struggle to overcome. Saturn retrograde, being the planet of Karma, may difficult your mission in life. You could be stuck on an unresolved trauma from a past life. This may be represented by a figure of authority in this life, perhaps your father. Instead of attempting to reconcile your past, try to accept the world changing around you. You may be too afraid to venture into the world and to open your heart; accept that it is part of life. Find people that give you that security, but don’t pour out your entire soul to them; find a balance. Not everything can be kept in our hearts, but not everything should be shared, either.

SATURN IN THE 12TH HOUSE

This is quite a strong and powerful placement: you have the planet of karma in the most karmic house. Also, according to Hellenistic Astrology, Saturn has its joy in the 12th house. You may be afraid to mess with the subconscious because your emotions may overtake you. Saturn is related to blockages and yours may be due to paranoia, which is characteristic of Neptune and Pisces. You may repress parts of yourself that you are not happy about, which makes you feel better, but, at the same time, paranoia can set in and make you wonder if that is the right thing to do. That aside, you may also struggle with poor self-esteem and doubts about yourself and life. There can be problems of guilt of some sort, perhaps even related to your life itself. It is very vague, but my thoughts about this placement are, in short, that, from birth, there have been deep traumas within you that have blocked your inner peace. What does are, I do not know. ⬛️

"[NAME]! AHHHH YOU'RE HERE!!" Hange screamed across the room. Your head was turning all around the bright, marble like room as you tried to find the familiar auburn head.

You whipped your head around after talking to Dr. Pyxis.

Dr. Pyxis smiled at you as he acknowledged Hange's presence and walked away. Hange was running, their hair flying with Moblit behind her muttering "sorry" and "excuse us" to the victims of their running.

They flung their arms over your shoulders and squeezed ever so tightly. Your breath hitched and reluctantly patted Hange's arms.

"My god! How have you been? You look stressed. Is Levi bothering you too much? You know you could just stay at HQ! You can live with me and it's cheaper!!" Hange muttered, burying your body into theirs.

You try to pry yourself from Hange's grasp, but they keep holding on.

"You know Levi never tells me anything right? I mean we've known each other for a while through us, I mean for God's sakes we dated! And then you're so busy writing up papers and meeting with people so it's just like I-"

Moblit grabs Hange's shoulders and pushes them away from you. He audibly sighed and buried his face with his hands.

You couldn't help but chuckle at the stark contrasts of their faces as they looked at each other.

"Hange I'm doing fine alright? And Levi's coming to the after party there's nothing wrong with him. By the way, you look ravishing," you said pretentiously with a little smirk.

Hange's face lit up, "Oh [Name], you are getting flirty. But yes thank you for the compliment."

Hange started sliding back and forth on the polished floor, posing in their velvet red suit, the coat tails swishing behind them. Their hair was down and curled at the ends, with the ends fringed with a brighter red from previous hair dyes. Hange's eyes and lips were tinted red, her overall theme and it looked messy, and rushed. Exactly the way you liked it.

Moblit smiled tiredly at you and you patted him on the back, "Moblit how are you besides sighing so much?"

"Oh fine, I just don't know how I'm going to survive this ball and the after party. I spent a good 5 hours of our evening last night, experimenting with some new tools for missions," he said nervously.

"Oh Moblit, don't stress yourself out so much. Your inventions and experiments are insightful and they truly contribute to the research. Take a break sometime," you say reassuringly, as you lecture him.

"That's exactly what I told him! I caught him doing experiments when I told him not to!" Hange said. "Lighten up for once Moblit!"

You nodded, "I agree. This ball isn't a job, it's a break for people who work their asses off like you to help save us."

"I guess…. But heyyy… aren't you and Erwin acting as dates when you're actually just pushing an agenda?" He inquired playfully.

You smirk at him, "The ball is my work time, the after party is when I loosen up."

Hange spoke up, "Speaking of which, CAN SOMEONE GET ME SOME ALCOHOL FOR ALL 3 OF US. 2 FOR ME AND 2 FOR THEM!"

You grabbed Hange by the shoulder and laughed into it, "I swear Hange you are so scary to be in public with."

They looked at you with a questioning gaze, "Well how the hell am I supposed to get wine when all the waiters and people are over there where all the rich people are? They'll come to me, not the other way around."

A dark-haired boy with green-blue eyes trudged over to Hange. Eren Yeager. Stupid little shit, you had to teach him for a while when you were training soldiers but a passionate one. Beside him was Armin Artlet, the blonde boy who was arguably one of the smartest children you've ever met.

"Here you go. The other waiters just told us to bring these to you," Eren murmured.

"Hey speak up, Yeager," you tell him.

"He-"

You looked at him again, "I'm just playing kid come here and give me a hug,"

He looked at you surprisingly and passed the glasses of champagne to Moblit and Hange before tightening his arms around you.

Eren and particularly his classmates were the only teenagers you have ever liked in your life. They were smart, determined, and knew how to goof off, and have fun. You developed a sort of parenting attitude towards them, as you watched them rise in the ranks.

Armin hesitantly wrapped your arms around you, but you pulled him closer and kissed the tops of their foreheads.

"My god how the hell did you grow? You're up to my neck now Yeager and Artlert too! What are they feeding you", you say sipping your champagne flute.

"The same thing they've been serving since we went to training camp," Eren said, snickering.

You raised your eyebrows at them, "So how's life going for you? Don't you have your special Survey Corps dance thing coming up soon? You guys excited for that?"

"Not me," Armin said reluctantly. "I don't have a date."

Eren started laughing at him, "Pffft… lame."

Armin threw a dirty look at him, "Oh shut the fuck up, you don't either."

You cross your arms and look at both of them, "The government parties aren’t all about relationships you know. It's about hanging out with your friends as well. If you really feel bad about it just go in a group together."

Armin spoke up, his mood lightening immediately, "Did you go in a group? Are you all still friends?"

You waved your hand nonchalantly, "My 1st time I didn't go, I snuck over to the underground area in the city I lived in and watched street racing with some friends. Got in trouble of course, but I got lots of money from bets. The next 2 times I did go with friends but the last time I went with-"

"Oh, we shouldn't have brought that up Dr. [Name]," Eren said apologetically.

"Oh no no no, don't feel bad I can't just keep my fiance's memory buried." You gulped at the choice of words but went on.

"He would have loved to share these stories with you. But for now, you should be hanging out with your other friends not with an old person like me. And try drinking a little," you smiled with a hint of sadness that was quickly upturned while you flashed your teeth.

Eren interjected, "You're not THAT old Dr."

"Sweetheart I am old all right. Now go I think Mikasa is waiting for you," you shoo them along with your hands and usher them back to the middle. The two boys quickly walked away back to their friends. You sighed and looked around you and realized Moblit and Hange were out of sight and Erwin was nowhere to be seen.

"[Name]."

"Oh my god, Erwin! You can't just sneak up on me like that!" You say as the blonde was literally looming over from behind you.

"Sorry but I was wondering how the papers are going. I was chatting with Mr. Zachary over there and he said he would love to sign our papers," Erwin tilted his head to the old man with the white beard and glasses.

"Doesn't he monitor the 3 parts of the government?" You asked Erwin.

He nodded, "Having him on our side would help us out a lot. Any progress for you?"

"Dr. Pyxis said he would sign. I just have to convince Nick and Nile," you rolled your eyes.

Nick believed that all the funding should go to the military police, to help protect the citizens. You have argued and counterattacked that one day there might be no people to protect, no military police to defend because the funding was put all into one place.

"AT LEAST PART OF THE FUNDING SHOULD BE PUT FOR OUR MISSIONS!" You yell at Nile.

Nile rolled his eyes, "Sorry to say this but the public might not agree. They don't care about your little missions."

"Well the PUBLIC Nile, is full of cowards who want to be protected by another set of cowards because the goddamn government doesn't know that the best place to put their money is in the Scout Regiment. They're the ones that's actually doing something," you say.

You stepped forward, "The public doesn't have an MD. The public has not spent a good chunk of their lives researching this. The public is not head of the government's esteemed research section. The public doesn't have knowledge that I do.

"Really cowards? What are you some self-righteous wannabe?"

"Oh shut the fuck up, Nile. All of you in this room are fucking cowards. People's lives have been lost just because we didn't have enough supplies and food for a group of 100 soldiers," you say and left the room.

That was 2 weeks ago and Hange and Erwin were present, and that's when you 3 decided to convince everybody to sign these papers.

Erwin nodded,"You can take a break for now, Nick and Nile are chatting up with some women."

You nodded at Erwin and parted ways. You grabbed a piece of dessert from the long dining table and leaned your back against the wall and drank more champagne. You lifted your head and tried to think of ways to convince them.

Nick was a religious man, and was one of the people who believed that the Warning was a sign from God. Maybe you could throw in a little religion, say that the money could help find out of it is really God. For Nile, just threaten the man. He was a coward at heart so that would be easy. But what if he backed out on the papers? Didn't actually mean it? What would you do then?

You hummed to yourself the possibilities, not even noticing the man standing in front of you.

"Uh, hey? You seem lost in thought."

Heyyy,

Been a follower since quite some time, and I see that you are a great mooter (this will make sense plz listen)

So I was scared of interacting with ppl idk in person yk my college classmates. Its easy for me to interact online when Ik ppl. I was sitting out of class discussions and over all invisible, on a whim I decided that I should be an active participant as I dont want to sit on the sidelines as college life just passes me by, I signed up for a committee and now they wanna interview me and to say that I am regretting that giant step would be an understatement. The panel would consist of my seniors however that scares me more because they look intimidating and cool? u get it

so here in comes your skills and I was hoping you could give me some tips to face them, by no means it could help me ace it I just dont wanna make a fool of myself

luv thabks

Heyy, thanks for the compliments💗 calling me a great mooter is a bit of an overstatement since I've only been for one external moot😅

As for the tips, here's what I can come up with rn

Abandon the concept that anyone's 'cool'. They're all just people like you who got to college earlier than you did, and hence, have naturally done more stuff than you have. Who knows, you'll be in the same position as they are in a couple years. Either way, they're less intimidating than you think .

Be polite. Ik it seems obvious but make sure you greet them, and thank them after the interview after telling them that it was a pleasure to give the interview.

Be confident in yourself. The stakes are really really low here, and if you don't get it, so what? There's plenty other committees out there. Have a nothing-to-lose attitude and know your worth.

Do. Not. Bluff. If they ask you an objective question and you don't know the answer, tell them that you're unfortunately not aware of the answer and will research upon it after the interview. If you have a guess in mind, ask them if you can take an educated guess. But don't bluff, it will make you look like a liar.

Be honest. Don't exaggerate or undermine any of your achievements. Be yourself, and if after that you aren't selected know that this committee wasn't tailored for you, and that there are other committees better suited to your strengths and interests.

That's all that I could think of so far. DM me if you wanna talk in general. I'm just a second year law student looking to make friends with those going through the same crap I am, so if you wanna go off anon and hit me up, feel free💗

Best of luck with the interview, you're gonna kill it🥰

[blisslilywrites]

Hi! Can I ask fluff about Kirisaki Daichi? Their girl doesn't sleep for several nights because of a school project. Please.

A/N: Hii, sorry this took so long 😅it was actually a little difficult to write too cuz we aren’t really familiar with the kirisaki daiichi boys BUT we tried so we hope you like it UwU

HANAMIYA MAKOTO

You stretched in your seat, letting a yawn escape you. 24 hours until the due date. You groaned as you looked at your laptop. This research project was a disaster and you knew it. But you’ve spent the last few nights working on it, so you couldn’t exactly give up now.

Your boyfriend had offered you some help when you first told him about the project. 

“I just so happen to be an expert at [subject name]”

You refused though. You wanted to finish this project and prove to him you were good enough to do it on your own.

“Just let me help you y/n.” 

“No, it’s fine,” you protested with a yawn. “I’m almost done anyway.”

“Yeah almost done being alive.”

You stifled a yawn and blinked at your computer screen before yawning yet again.

Hanamiya sighed. It was honestly cute to see you try so hard. It stopped being cute when you looked like you were going to collapse from exhaustion. 

Deciding he wasn’t just gonna sit back anymore, he took a blanket from the bed and walked over to you. 

“Mako-chan? What--” before you could finish, he wrapped the blanket around your body.

You protested but could slowly feel your body lean into the warmth and comfort of the blanket. Your eyes snapped shut and you drifted off as Hanamiya picked you up off the chair you were in and carried you to the bed. He gently set you down and gave you a soft smile, one he'd never admit to giving. 

“Don't overwork yourself again, OK?” he mumbled, patting your hair. 

HARA KAZUYA

As every second passed by, you felt somnolence slowly conquering you. You felt lifeless as you forced your eyes wide awake but your body tells otherwise. Beside you in your work station was Kazuya who had just finished the boss battle of a super mario video game, seeing your boyfriend in a carefree state made you feel envious, more stressed and insulted for an unknown reason. You wanted to cry, but your eyes were too tired to even comprehend your surroundings. 

"Okay, 10 down. 15 more." You let out an exhausted sigh. 

"Y/N," You heard Kazuya calling you, but you couldn't just get your attention off your work. You had been working for 8 hours straight, and Hara had called you many times but you just couldn't risk your time for a "meaningless" conversation. 

You heard a sound of applause, knowing that your boyfriend had already defeated another boss level. With him who was finished with his game, went to your side. 

"Y/N, you're already too tired. You should rest." He advised, yet you ignored. 

"Heyyy, let's sleep first. It's bad for your health." You maintained your silence. 

"Y/N, please." And for the last time you just wished he would shut up. You slammed your palm against the lumbers of your work station, turned to him with wobbly eyes and well, cracked. 

"It's easy for you to say! Well, I wish I could also defeat the final level of this project. You were just playing there being carefree while me?! I just want to pass, that's all. So please Kazuya.. just.. just.." Your face shimmered with tears rolling down your cheeks. Your voice desired one thing: to get your project over with. You wiped your tears away with shaky hands whilst your tears kept on flowing.

Hara didn't reply. In fact, he turned and walked away then you heard the sound of a door being shut.

You ate your tears and enervation and continued to do your work.

Hara didn't do anything wrong. In fact, he never did. 

Five minutes had passed and you barely progressed. But also within five minutes, Hara came back. He took a seat then placed it next to you with your work station. He brought your favorite food, his own laptop and a pillow neck. 

"Y/N.. so I'm sorry for earlier.. I know you are stressed and all but your assignment would lose its point if you die. So please, tell me anything you need to do and I'll help."

FURUHASHI KOJIRO

You were sitting in bed next to your boyfriend. A pencil in hand, a notebook on your lap, and a pile of papers scattered around you. It wasn’t exactly your fault your teacher decided to make your week hell by giving you a nearly impossible assignment to complete by Friday. You were extremely annoyed and upset and angry and mad and tired and sleepy.

You shook your head in an attempt to drive the sleepiness away.

“Y/n. Why can’t you forget about your homework and go to sleep?”

“Koji, it’s not just some homework. It’s a quarterly project that’s not supposed to be this hard,” you groaned.

He gave you a small look. You knew what he was trying to say though. And you’re just gonna work yourself to the brink of death over some project?

“Look I need to pass this class ok? So just let me work on this for a few more hours.”

You weren’t sure if you could last a few more hours though. Your eyelids have been heavy all day, and you’ve been yawning non-stop.

Guess there’s no choice but to muscle through, you thought to yourself.

At that moment, you felt his arms wrap around your waist, softly pulling you towards him.

“Y/n”

“I told you just let me work on this for a bit more,” you protested, trying to sound angry.

“We both know you’re not gonna last, so do yourself a favor and get some rest for now. You can continue it in the morning.”

He pulled you closer.

You tried to find an excuse to stay up but your brain was beyond exhausted.

“Ok,” you replied softly.

With that, he wrapped his arms fully around you and hugged you tight to his chest. You fell asleep within minutes. Once he made sure you were asleep, he quietly cleaned up and organized all your work before climbing back into bed with you.

SETO KENTARO

Seto Kentaro always liked your intelligence and the stubbornness that came with it. However, he wasn't liking it very much now when he came over to your house in the morning to find you buried in a pile of papers and notebooks. You had bags under your eyes and a huge thermos of coffee beside you. In all honesty, he could only sit and stare at you in disbelief.

‘No, you did not just spend the entire night working on that stupid project,’ he thought to himself.

“Y/N?”

“Huh? Ken-chan?” you said in a soft voice. You could barely keep your eyes open. “What time is it?”

He let out a deep sigh.

“It's time for you to go to sleep babe.”

“But...I’m not yet done,” you protested weakly. 

“Then I’ll finish it for you.”

“But--”

He lifted you up from the chair and carried a protesting-you over to the bed.

“But what? You already wrote out everything in your notebook right? I just have to type it up for you that’s all.”

He plopped you down and you looked at him with tired eyes.

“I won’t even change that terrible grammar of yours,” he added with a wink.

“Excuse me?”

“Look here, you’re extremely tired and I know how much your studies mean to you. So here I am telling you to shut up and go sleep while I help you finish it. Don’t look at me like that, I’m actually a really nice and helpful guy.”

You snickered. “Yeah right. Go tell that to the guys you play basketball against.”

“Are you gonna accept my help or not?” he said with a serious face.

You sighed in defeat, fatigue and exhaustion slowly taking over your body.

“Thank you Ken-chan,” you muttered, pulling the blanket over your body.

He let out a small smile.

“Goodnight y/n”

YAMAZAKI HIROSHI

You slapped yourself awake for the millionth time. It was well past midnight but you still had a lot to do. That essay wasn’t going to write itself and you weren’t resting until it was finished.

But I guess it's fine if I just close my eyes for one second…

SLAP. Nope I gotta finish this. Just a few paragraphs left.

You stared at your notes thoughtlessly and took another sip of coffee before starting to type. The bedroom door creaked open and you heard the soft footsteps of your boyfriend walking in.

“Still not done?”

You shook your head and continued typing.

What felt like an eternity had passed and you had finished about three-quarters of the paper.

“Y/n,” Yamazaki said in a soft voice.

You hadn’t really been paying much attention to your surroundings and was a little startled by him. You turned around to look at him and saw him holding out a metal flask towards you.

“Some more coffee.”

When he saw the confusion on your face, he added, “This one’s pretty strong. It should keep you up until morning.”

You took it from him with a small smile and quickly went back to work.

After a few more hours, you finally finished it, submitted it, and crawled into bed to get whatever little sleep you could before school started.

When you woke up you realized two things. First, your boyfriend had already left. Second, you were extremely late for school.

You quickly got ready and rushed to school.

In between one of your classes, you ran into Yamazaki in the hallway.

“Hiro-chan, thanks for that coffee last night, but you know, you didn’t have to stay up.”

“Don’t worry about it. I took that class last year so you could say I’ve been through it too...” You could tell he was trying his best to play it off cool. But instead of saying anything, you just gave him a big smile and a quick peck on the cheek before running off to your next class.

MATSUMOTO ITSUKI

The sun had already set when you and Matsumoto left the library. It had been one long afternoon of tedious researching, but now you were confident that you could finish the assignment by tomorrow.

“Y/N, it's getting a little late. Wanna grab something to eat before we go home?” 

“Hmm sure,” you replied absentmindedly, too focused on the notes on your phone.

Once you two were finished eating and arrived home, you immediately went back to work putting your 100% into finishing this assignment. 

About a few hours later, you realized you had left your bag with a lot of important information in the library. You started panicking slightly. There was still so much to do. You couldn't afford to waste time by going all the way back to the library.

Some things can't be helped I guess…

You quickly grabbed a coat and rushed to the front door. Before you reached it though, you felt a strong hand grab your arm.

“Woah y/n, where are you going?”

“The library. I left my bag there and I really need it…”

“Oh, well it's not safe for you to go alone. I'll go with you.”

“OK…” you said hesitantly.

“What? Is there something wrong?” he asked with concerned eyes.

“No, it's just that I still have a lot left to finish and I'm not sure if I can make it through tonight that's all,” you answered softly.

Truth is this assignment has drained you both physically and mentally. At this point, you weren't sure how much longer you would last.

Matsumoto suddenly engulfed you in a tight hug.

“Y/N, if you're feeling too stressed you can just go to sleep. I'll go talk to your teacher tomorrow. Maybe ask if you could submit it later instead.”

You smiled at his words. He really was too sweet. Knowing how much he cared kind of re-lit that drive to finish this project.

“It's fine Tsuki-chan. You don't have to do that for me. I'll finish it.”

He looked at you skeptically. “Then I'll go get your bag and you stay here and continue whatever part of the project you can. Is that OK?”

Your tired eyes met his and you gave him a small smile and a nod.

“Thank you, Tsuki-chan.”
