Shameless Flirting - JJ Maybank One Shot
Words: 1.428
Warnings: swearing
Pairing: JJ Maybank x kook female!reader
A/N / Summary: back in January I found a request on someone elseâs post that read: âThe death squad Top, Rafe and Kelce with the reader/oc. Sheâs a kook  girl version of JJ and itâs just her and and JJ shamelessly flirting with each other (neither pogues or kooks like that) butâ. So I guess thatâs it. Got a part 2 in drafts.
(pic not mine)
âTake a picture, itâll last longer bae.
She smiled winningly at him as Topper rolled his eyes and walked away towards Kelce. âOh yeah? But then what would I do with a picture of you?
âWell, you know, whenever you get lonely at night âshe playfully hit him. âShut up JJ.
âYou could also use it as your lock screen. âhe winked and smirked.
She half laughed and replied âYeah, I bet youâd love that.
âOh, you should totally do it.
John B called JJâs name from where he sat with Kie and Pope on the beach. Charlotte quickly took her chance and snapped a picture of him from her angle, a little behind him. The photograph showed JJ nonchalantly leaning against the wooden structure she was sitting on, only the upper half of his body with his grey tank top and his usual hat. His neck with a few strands of blonde hair could be seen as well as only a part of his face, which was looking at John B. It was very aesthetic, the sun was close to setting so the sky was turning darker with different colours including orange, contrasting with JJâs grey shirt but also highlighting his blonde hairs and tanned skin.
The sound of her camera phone taking the picture made him spin his head to look at her and ignore John B as he gave her a seducing smile. She laughed and then dropped her body to her feet. âGo mister, the public awaits. âshe lingeringly kissed his cheek on purpose to tease him as she always did before turning on her heels and head towards her friends. He stood there for half a second just to get out of her effect and went with his friends as well.
âFinally Charles! Rafe was about to go pick you up. âKelce told you as Rafe nodded in agreement next to him.
âSorry guys, but here I am, all for yourselves boys! âshe smiled and tried to ease the tension Rafe and especially Topper felt due to her flirting with the Pogue they hated the most.
JJ kind of experienced a similar situation with his own crew. Kie not even looking at him, Pope was wearing an expression of disgust and John B was trying his best to hold his tongue. JJ took a beer can and ignored his friendsâ dislike of his flirting with the second Kook they despised most, the first one being Rafe.
-x-
Sarah and Rafe had agreed for once to throw a pool party together when their dad and Rose left a few days for business. This meant although the majority of the guests would be Kooks, on Sarahâs behalf there would also be a certain Pogue crew as well as some Tourons of course.
âChug! Chug! Chug! Chug! âRafe, Top and Kelce boosted Charlotte as she downed the drink being poured into the beer bong funnel.
âWohooo! Damn that was nice! âShe exclaimed as she cleaned the drops falling down her chin with the back of her hand.
Rafe threw an arm over her shoulders âThis is our girl boys! âshe grabbed the hand that hung over her right shoulder as she laughed.
âTold you this one was a keeper! âTopper added.
JJ had been watching her chug and interact with the three men. To be honest he didnât want to come. Although the whole group tried their best to avoid Kooks, JJ was particularly reluctant to party at the Kook kingdom. Only after Sarah ensured theyâd be safe they all agreed to go. Under Sarah and Kiaraâs wing, they would be okay. At least as long as John B or JJ didnât start a fight.
âJJ! âKieâs voice brought his attention back to their conversation. He gulped his beer down and laughed at Popeâs anecdote.
A few meters away Charlotte heard a peculiar laugh that captured her interest and so she directed her look at the blonde. She couldnât stop a smile that didnât go unnoticed by Rafe.
An hour later she was sitting at the poolâs edge with her legs in the water as she listened to Kelce tell a story about his last trip to Costa Rica.
âYo guys, Iâll be right back, gotta pee. Someone wants a drink? âshe asked.
âIâve got us an Appleton hidden at the top of the bookshelf near the stairs, bring it. âRafe spoke.
âAn Appleton? Uuh fancy âshe moved her eyebrows up and down quickly making him laugh.
When she saw the queue to get in the bathroom downstair she didnât waste a second deciding to go to the one next to Rafeâs bedroom. As she was opening the white door she heard someone clearing their throat. She looked up and found a rather provoking JJ resting his back on a wall. Immediately a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
âWell, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in⊠âhe rolled his eyes and took a step towards her, circling his right arm around her waist to bring her closer and leave a tender kiss on her cheek. Caught by surprise, she felt blood rushing to her cheeks at the unexpected greeting. Such reaction only made the boy more confident, letting go of her to give her a beguiling smile.
âWhatcha doinâ up here gorgeous? âa more serious look on his face now.
âOh nothing, just gotta use the bathroom. What about you though? What are you doing up here? Doesnât seem like your comfort zone, you know, away from your gang and in the enemyâs territory⊠âshe winked.
âNot gonna lie, I was looking for something good to drink.
âUp here?
He grimaced. âNo secret that the rich hide their best collections. âhe lifted his shoulders and pouted, not giving a care in the world about voicing his bad intentions.
She smiled and nodded. âOkay then, good luck on your treasure hunt, Iâm gonna go to the toilet now. âshe turned to the door but stopped before going in, she spoke once again âOh and, if you want my advice, Iâd look into bookshelves.
He watched her disappear into the tiled room and kept looking for a bottle worth stealing. By the time she came out he was already standing in front of the bathroom door with a bottle attached to his lips.
She raised an eyebrow at her sight. âI see youâve been successful on your hunt. âshe walked to stand next to him and grabbed the bottle to put it in her mouth. He watched her attentively, not being able to stop himself from staring at her every move. His eyes set on the way her lips embraced the bottle spout, on the movement of her throat as she swallowed the liquid and on the tip of her pink tongue licking her lips when she finished. She turned to him and softly closed his mouth with her hand.
âCareful, youâre drooling babe. âwith that she left down the stairs to reunite with her group.
As she was looking for the Appleton, she felt Rafeâs voice behind her, startling her.
âWhat took you so long? âSorry, I run into someone.
Just as she finished her sentence JJ passed by and sent a defiant glare at the Cameron. The latter set a deathly glare on him as well and mumbled. âOf course you fucking did.
âActually, I donât think dirty pogues like you are welcomed in my party. âRafe stood in front of JJ threateningly. Maybank, being no coward, bit his lip and prepared himself to fight. Before anything else happened, Charlotte stepped between them facing her friend. âOookay, no need to get heated now, right?
The two boys seemed to be in a staring contest, angry expressions and slightly agitated breathings on both of them. She put a hand on Rafeâs shoulder trying to get him to focus on her and not on the blonde. âCâmon dude, lets go outside and drink this bad boy, I know you wanna. âshe tried to lighten the mood but failed miserably. Magically, her silent pleas for Sarah or any of JJ friends to come help her became true as Sarah walked in on the three, getting a hold of the situation immediately.
âRafe cut it, we talked about this. âRafe looked at her sister and huffed. Sarah hurried to grab JJâs hand to take him away from his death. Once they were a few feet away Charlotte grabbed Rafeâs hand and tugged to stop him from looking at Maybank and go back to the pool to keep drinking.

Trip to the store with Tom and Harry
*This is actually part of a chapter of something I've been writing for myself, just for fun. Basically, the reader is staying with them for the weekend, things are still pretty recent with Tom, she's famous too, whatever, whatever... there are 15 chapters tho (48k + words)! This blurp doesn't contain smut, but the others do, so let me know if you like this, and I might post the full series.
Minor warning: people taking unsolicited pictures, panic attack foreshadowing. Also, this is in a world pre-pandemic (the series happens in June 2019) that's why no maks. But you live in 2021, so please wear yours!
Overall, just pure fluffiness and brother's bickering. Enjoy and please, please give me your feedback!
This is 2k+ words, btw
*edit! I did it you guys, here's chapter 1 of the whole series
âJust leave it, babyâ Tom calls out when I get up from the breakfast table taking the dishes to the sink to wash them.
âItâs fine, just a couple platesâ I say already washing them. âYou wanna go to the store now or later?â
âLetâs go nowâ Tom says.
âI call shotgun!â Harry announces.
âAbsolutely not! Iâm driving and(y/n)'s my-â I keep my ear open for the end of that sentence, which apparently wonât be coming out because Harry starts to laugh and I can tell Tom wants to kill him for that. I just shake my head and keep washing the plates, pretending I didnât hear anything.
We go back to his room to brush our teeth before heading out and I consider changing my clothes, but decide this is fine (out of laziness). Tom changes into a pair of joggers and shirt, he looks like heâs going to work out, but handsome as always. I wonder if heâs going to wear the cap and sunglasses that he keeps on his car for quick disguise. He grabs his wallet and the car keys and weâre heading out when I remember my wallet.
âHold on, forgot my walletâ I say going back the hallway.
âWhat you need your wallet for?â He asks when I get back, he was waiting for me at the end of the corridor. We go down the stairs, Harry is already there waiting, flipping through his phone.
âYou see, a wallet is where you keep your money and these plastic card thingies, which are like money, but virtual. Money is something you need to give the people at the store-â
âAlright smart ass, I get it. You wonât need to buy anything, itâs what Iâm sayingâ
âPlease donât get him startedâ Harry pleads with me when we get outside the door.
âWhat?â I laugh. Tom unlocks the car and I go straight to the backseat, trying to avoid another awkward sitting discussion.
âTom insists he pays for everything around the house. Part of the reason why we go grocery shopping without himâ Harry says from the front seat. âHeâs pretty good at making money, got admit. But terrible at managing it, the lads donât even pay rent!â
âWould you like to pay rent?â Tom asks, reversing the car and taking a glance at me, winking.
âIâm your brother! Dealing with you IS my rentâ I laugh the whole way to the store at their banter about money, the radio, the car temperature. I catch glances at Tom through the rear mirror, smiling every time he sees me watching him.
âWhy are we here? I though it was only foodâ Harry asks with an annoyed voice when Tom turned to get in a parking lot.
âWeâre getting other stuff tooâ Tom explains, parking and getting out of the car, taking my hand. He didnât get his cap and sunglasses. We left the car at a parking lot and walked to a discreet door that read âcollect by carâ, was this some kind of celebrity special entrance? We take an elevator and when it opens itâs like a mall, or a department store. A fancy Target, Iâd say. âMarks & Spencerâ. UhâŠvery British. Harry takes a cart and Tom gets another. I follow Tom but notice that Harry goes solo on his shopping trip. Tomâs still holding my hand and I look around to see if anyoneâs watching but apparently not. âLetâs look at the blown dryers first, huh?â He says and I nod, following his lead.
When we get to the beauty tools section (is that what they call it?) Tom reaches for the fancy, expensive blow dryer models and I reach for the travel-sized ones. I look at him smiling. âYou were thinking about getting a blown dryer for the house, werenât you?â
âWerenât you?â
âTom, youâre seriously buying a blown dryer just because I asked to borrow one?â I laugh at him.
âI could use one too, you know? Itâs not just for when you come aroundâ He says in a tone that gives away he was thinking exactly the opposite.
âOkay then. Not that brand, though. This oneâ I put back the travel size and step closer to him to look at the models, reading the boxes and considering the options. When we settle for one he puts it on the cart and we keep walking through the store, reaching the products section. âShampooâ I indicate, walking towards the shelf with all the options.
âHi, can I help you guys?â A store attendant asks approaching us.
âHiâ I say smiling at her. âJust looking for some shampoo and conditionerâ
âSomething specific?â
âNot rubbishâ Tom jokes. And she looks confused.
âHe uses Head & Shoulders and is offended I called it rubbishâ I explain to her laughing.
âOhâŠthatâs not goodâ She grimaces and Tom shakes his head.
âI know! Thank you! It doesnât have to be anything fancyâŠI donât know any of these brands thoughâŠâ Me and the attendant start talking about shampoo and Tom zones out, looking around. When I finally pick one, along with conditioner, hair mask and styling gel I put it all in the cart and thank her. Tom was looking at a shelf with bath products, bath salts and bombs.
âHiâ I step to his side.
âBath bomb? Doesnât sound very relaxingâ I laugh at that. Boys. When I was going to explain it to him two girls approach us.
âHi, Tom!â One of them says, blushing furiously.
âUhâŠhi!â He answers, slightly startled. âHowâs it going?â He recovers his composure.
âFineâŠUh, is it ok if we ask you for a selfie?â
âSure, no problemâ He smiles. They look in between him and I.
âCould you take one, (y/n)?â Does she mean with me, or she wantâs me to take the picture?
âSure, give me your phoneâ I say reaching for her phone. And they laugh nervously.
âWe meant with usâ
âOh, yeahâ I laugh. âCourseâ Tom is watching and laughing at me. âBut do you want me to take one of you guys with him too? So you donât have only selfiesâ
âOh would you? Thank you!â They say giving me their phones and posing along him. He keeps staring at you the whole time. I snap multiple pics with both phones and give them back to them.
âSee what you thinkâ I gave their phones back.
âOh itâs great! Thank youâ
âYou didnât even look at it. What if sheâs a shitty photographer?â Tom laughs.
âExcuse me? Iâm a great photographerâ I answered him. âI bet the oneâs you take wonât look so greatâ I said posing with the girls, who were just staring at the two of us in awe. I smiled while Tom snapped the pics and then he gave their phones back.
âThank you!â One of them smiled.
âYeah thank you!â They were walking away when one of them looked back and shouted. âYou guys are really cute together!â And they sprinted away laughing.
âTeenagersâ Tom says shaking his head and laughing.
âDonât know, we ARE really cute togetherâ You tease him, poking his side.
âI know, wasnât disagreeingâ He says defensively. âYou canât make every fan encounter this long though, or else youâre never gonna get anything doneâ
âOkay grandpaâ You laugh. âCommon, it didnât even take that longâ
âNot this time. Probably made their day, thoughâ He says. âJust donât get frustrated if every fan isnât this niceâ
âI donât expect them to be. Itâs just, they liked whatever we do and itâs part of their lives. Doesnât cost anything to be nice, and besides, itâs a positive reinforcement. Next time they need courage to do something, itâll be easier for them. People make too much fuss about celebrities, but like, asking a date out is way scarier and more commonâ Tom just smiled and shakes his head. âWhat?â
âI really love your mind, you know?â
âWhat did I said?â
âThe positive reinforcement thing. I though you were going to say weâre leaving a good impressionâ You scoff.
âBath bombsâ I say trying to change the subject. âItâs like aspirin, for your bath. Theyâre really nice, wanna pick some?â He nods picking one up and trying to smell them. You guys joke around and pick some bath bombs as well as some bubbles and shower gel. âWe got so much stuffâ I say looking at the cart.
âOnly essentialsâ He says and kiss me on the cheek. âI like this, get used to itâ
âWhat?â
âSpoiling you. Iâm like a sugar daddyâ
âOh my god, you didnât just say thatâ I laugh. âThat makes me a toiletries sugar babyâ He laughs and pushes the cart along the corridor. We find Harry on the beverages section, picking up some beer boxes.
âSo much for groceriesâ Tom says looking at his cart. Chips, candy, beer and milk. We get a few more items like some fruits and vegetables, yogurt, eggs and of course a bunch of ready meals, which seem to be a must for them.
âYou guys donât cook much, do you?â I joke.
âOnly when Samâs around. Which then he cookâs for us, of courseâ Harry answers and I laugh.
âIs he at school?â I ask.
âCooking school. In Parisâ Harry tells me, putting the groceries on the cashier belt.
âThatâs so coolâ I look at Tom. âThatâs really coolâ
âI know. Wait, are you really more impressed by my younger-chef-brother than my acting career?â He laughs.
âI meanâŠâ I shrug and Harry laughs at us. We see a flash and turn our heads at the same time to the woman on the line behind us, who had her phone pointed to us. I look down and Tom puts his arm around me. âSheâs taking picsâ I whisper to him getting out of his embrace.
âSo?â He says and puts his hand on my back, standing with his back to her in front of me. Harry hurries up and finishes putting the groceries on the belt, bagging everything up. I go to help him while Tom pays for our shopping. We put the stuff back on a cart and get out of the store. When we get out of the elevator and in the parking lot again, I hear Tom saying to Harry âRide on the back now, yeah?â. We put everything on the trunk and Harry gets on the backseat, so I get on the passenger seat. Tom starts to drive and takes my hand laying on my thigh, he rubs his thumb over the back of my hand and Iâm glad heâs being mindful because these encounters with paparazzi and random people taking pics really stress me out.
âI donât really mind taking photosâ I say out of the blue. âWhen they introduce themselves and ask for itâ
âItâs so disrespectful, pisses me offâ Harry agrees. âLike, you want a photo? Fine, just ask for it. You donât simply snap photos of random people on the street, what makes you think you have the right to do it if you saw the person on a movie before?â
âWe only saw that because the flash was on too. Makes me think of all the times I never see it. Like youâre always being watched. ItâsâŠâ Scary? Stressful? An invasion of privacy? All of the above?
âIâm sorryâ Tom says, tightening his grip on my hand.
âItâs not your faultâ I say.
âIâm still sorryâ I give him a half smile. Nothing we can do about it, is there?
âNice record Tom, where did you get it?â Harry asked lifting the Lime Cordiale record I bought Tom at Camden.
âThatâs (y/n)'sâ He says.
âI bought it for youâ I smile.
âWhat? Did you?â I bit my lip smiling and nod. âIâm an idiot, sorryâ
âThat you are. An ungrateful idiot apparentlyâ Harry says.
âItâs okâ I give Harry a glare. âItâs ok, reallyâ I repeat looking over at Tom. âAs long as you listen to them nowâ
âI will, promiseâ He smiles and lifts my hand to kiss it. Harry makes a gaging sound and I just laugh.

Itâs The Little Things || Joe Mazzello x Reader
What started out as a discussion between me and @amethyst-serenade on how cute Joe is, blown out into this story/HC, I honestly donât know what this is. Itâs definitely fluffy, now that Iâm sure. Hope you guys enjoy our work!!
Words: 2393
No warnings whatsoever
HERE WE GO!!
Oh without a doubt! He's gonna be an amazing father and his kids will be adorable and lovable just like him.
Imagine him with his firstborn (especially if it's a girl) holding them in his arms and the absolute adoration on his face â„ïž
It would start when you tell him you're pregnant. He'd be beside you (crying a little), kissing and hugging you, and your belly and telling "I'm gonna be a dad. We're gonna be parents."
Even when before you start showing, his hands will be on the belly, secretly protecting his kid. Involuntarily yelling "excuse me" and "coming through" when the two of you walk through crowds. And randomly talking to the baby, reading to the baby at night. And when he goes on a shoot while you're pregnant and he calls and he says "put the phone on speaker, I wanna talk to the baby" and talks about the day.
And he'd be showing everyone the ultrasound pic! And when you're having a movie night, he'd either have his hand or his head on your belly, constantly snuggling into you. And he'll tell anyone who'll listen that his beautiful wife is expecting your first child. And during the movie, if anybody cusses, Joe would put his hands on the sides of the belly and he'd say "too early for that" jokingly.
Oh Joe won't be able to hold it in for the first trimester. The day the second trimester hits, the ultrasound will be on his page and he'll share an entire paragraph about the baby and his incredible wife.
And obviously help throw the best damn dramatic Baby Gender Reveal Party ever!! YES! It's a girl!!
The moment he feels the baby kick over your belly, god, here comes the water works AGAIN!! His hands will be literally glued to your belly until he feels her kick again.
And the day comes when little Ms. Mazzello is ready to make her grand entrance into the world and you bet your ass, Mr. Mazzello has had the hospital bag and ready to go right after the baby shower.
And there she was, Ella Virginia Mazzello, the absolute adoration in his face as he watched his little girl in a tiny bundle on her mom's chest.
His face would be all lit up when he finally holds his baby girl, he's looking at his baby girl, all teary eyed and you could see his love for the baby in his eyes. And he'll literally worship the mother of his more than adorable baby, the love of his life and love her like anything.
He'd be loving and considerate, and would make sure his wife is happy and comfortable. And he tries his best to for you to let him dress the baby in the Yankees onesie he got for her. Well he knows how that's gonna end up.
Let us assume the fact that Ben has a baby boy around that time and Gwil makes a joke "that's your future boyfriend" when the boys visit the new mother and baby at Joe's home and Joe whispers to the baby, pretty audibly, "No dating for you until 16, young lady"
And on one day when the Yankees are playing, he'll be wearing a Yankees tshirt and dresses the baby in the Yankees onesie that he specifically got for her, and seats her on his lap, he'll post that picture captioned "Just two Yankees fans hangin' out"
His phone memory will be filled up with all of Ella's pictures, videos of her bouncing up and down on her father's lap to one of those Beatles songs from her dad's collection and obviously in her Halloween costume, that's right, Joe dresses up his little girl in a baby Raptor costume.
And all the boys would give him shit for it but Lucy would think it's the most adorable thing ever and tell you how lucky you are to have a husband like that.
As his little girl grows up, he'll help her host tea parties and he'd take her on daddy-daughter dates so he can show her how a REAL man should treat her.
Joe would make sure his little girl don't take no crap!
Second time along, during their second gender reveal, they find they're having a baby boy and he'll go crazy raising his hands and jumping up and down "we're having a boy, our lil baseball player is here."
He'd be going on and on and ON about having a firstborn son to carry on the family name.
He'd DEFINITELY get him a raptor onesie first and practically beg to organise play dates with Gwil & Dana's little girl and Rami and Lucy's twins (we haven't forgotten Ben's kids)
And Joe's baby girl, he'll definitely be by her side when his baby boy is too little so that she don't feel left out or anything.
********
And Mother's Day,
The boys would all get together and plan something special for the ladies so they don't have to lift a finger. Starting with breakfast in bed (that Joe made with help from the kids), well you woke up to your little girl's giggles from outside the door and in comes your lovely husband with your baby boy in the baby carrier and Ella.
The boys would have booked the girls in for a spa day and he'll organise daddy-daycare with the boys. Then you'd all go to Rami & Lucy's place for dinner, which of course, the dads are making while the girls hangout with the kids. And then comes a bab(ies)y-mommy photoshoot and everything.
But Joe would find you when the baby's hungry because 'that's the one thing I can't do, sorry!' He'll be so dramatic saying "My nipples are useless."
Under the starry skies, the boys and their wives and babies, pictures perfect.
Ooh and the kids, well the boys will set up tents for them to camp in the backyard. And they'll sit around and tell stories of dragons and pirates and wizards; and let their imaginations run wild.
Imagine Gwil telling all these amazing stories with his soothing accent, doing all the voices and making the kids laugh while the rest of you are enjoying a beer or a glass of wine under the fairy lights hanging in the trees. And later, when he gets an acoustic guitar and break into a song and all the boys sing along.
And after the kids are down, all of you reminisce about the time when they did BoRhap and all the fun you guys had during press tours and birthdays and holidays.
And Joe tells about the adventures in Japan for the press tour when the translators were finding it hard to keep up with the boys. And Ben's like "Sorry I missed it!"
"But Cardboard Ben did" and that's when they remember Ben Cardy after an awful long time
Then Gwil and Joe explain the terrible night that Cardy B was in jail. Meanwhile you and the girls look at each other like "Boys!" đ
And Lucy takes out Joe's YouTube page and shows all the videos. And they all give him shit for doing 'Milk' and you be like "He still got the occasional screams."
Then Rami says "so THAT'S your bedroom secret, Joe?" And Joe's like "Well, we've got two kids so it must be working!" And you shove at his arm to keep him quiet saying "Joseph!"
"That's nothing", Â Lucy says with a grin "Rami sings to me". And Rami covers his face with his hands and Ben shoves his arm. "Gwil goes "Huzzah" everytime he's done", says Dana from a corner. Ben gives Olivia a warning look, and Olivia says "Ben tells me to call him Skywalker to get him in the mood" and Joe laughs.
"So we all have weird quirks, cheers to that", says Joe and takes a drink and you go like eww
"That's why were friends", says Gwil. "Joe and I are more like brothers' says Rami, "We've seen each other shirtless in The Pacific". "And other things" says Ben. Lucy rolls her eyes and you two give each other a look.
"Here we go again" says Gwil and turns to you to ask "Has he tried to make the kids watch The Pacific yet?"
"Well it's not my fault. That the scene was TOO GOOD, y'know", says Joe winking, "besides you enjoy it as much as I do" says Joe to you.
"Several times. Barely made it halfway through the first episode before Ella said she was bored. He then tried with Joey until I reminded him that the baby is, in fact, still a baby. But when WE watch it, Joe always seems really interested in THAT sex scene", you said. "Joseph!" Lucy gasps
"Attaboy!" Rami chuckles and pats Joe on his back.
"How come you guys never watched it with me?", Ben asks. "We should do a "The Pacific" watch party one day", Rami announces and Joe toasts, "To the watchparty!"
"Oh she hesitated! That means it's true!" says Ben. "No wonder you've got two kids" Gwil grins.
"You watched it too!" says Dana. "Only because Rami and Joe wouldn't shut up about it and brought it up in EVERY interview we did!" says Gwil.
Just as Joe does the toast, your daughter comes out in her favourite unicorn pyjamas. "Daddy, I need to pee". Joe looks over at you. Rami and Lucy giggle. "She did call Daddy, didn't she?", you gave a look to Joe and he says "Come here" he says and picks up his daughter and off he goes. "She walks right?", Dana asks. "Don't even get me started with that.", you told.
"Always knew he'd go all gooey over his little girl." Ben says, lighting a cigarette. "She's definitely daddy's princess", you sigh. "Does he have tea parties with her?" Olivia asks. "He does, but uh" you hesitate just as Joe comes back, "Liv wants to know about your latest tea party"
"Oh what can I say Ella loves tea parties as much as I do. It's incredible and so much fun, you know" he says. "And this one here", he gestures to you, "is kinda jealous of us spending all the time together."
"You pinky promised me that you wouldn't show it to anyone" says Joe trying to grab your phone. "Oh its them", you said. "Yes it's us. Also pinky promise? How old are you guys?", Gwil asked.
"Yeah, Joe left me for a younger woman", you grin, sipping your wine. "You bastard!" Gwil gasps.
"And yet I have photographic evidence of you wearing a flower crown" you add. "Show us!", says Ben.
"That's just the start of it, Gwil", you wink, "so we have a choice between the flower crown, the fairy wings or the unicorn headband". Ben chokes on his cigarette and the girls laugh.
"You're a man of many hidden talents, Joe", Rami smirks.
"In my defense, I take pinky promises very very seriously", Joe said as the group passed the phone around, "Also I looked good in every one of those pictures"
"Y/N, tell them", Joe said. You roll your eyes. "He looks good in every one of those pictures", you said, adding to Dana "otherwise he'll sulk for the rest of the night." Dana giggles.
"Speaking of onesies, Joe wanted to get BoRhap themed outfits for the kids.", you said. "Thats so thoughtful, Joe", Lucy said. "Hold on, next time?", Ben grinned, "You guys wanna have more kids?"
"Did you get that onesie that we sent you for the baby?" Ben asked. "We did", you confirm "and it fits perfectly. Though El almost threw a tantrum when she saw her baby brother dressed as a raptor."
"Well Joe has already bought a Yankees one, so Ben had to compromise", said Rami. "Joe made me pinky promise that we HAD to buy the Yankees onesie first", you grin. "I wanted that for the baby's "homecoming" outfit, but she didn't allow it. Both times. Better luck next time, right?" Joe said.
'It's Joey's first Christmas. They're growing up so fast. I remember like it was yesterday that I told Joe that I was pregnant with El. Now here we are", and you were interrupted by a baby crying through one of the monitors. All of you scramble around to check which one was active. And found out it was yours, "Is he hearing all this? I'm gonna go check on him", you said and walked away.
"Oh he's already advised me of this, on the wedding night", you shrugged. "Pretty sure we conceived lil Joey at your place, Gwil", Joe grins, making Gwil sputter on his beer. You swatted his arm, "Joe!!".
"And I assume you've already found these outfits for the kids?" Olivia asked.
"It's a work in progress. It should be ready by the time of our Disney trip, hopefully", Joe said.
You sat in the rocking chair with Joey in your arms, singing to him softly, looking deep into his hazel eyes, stroking his cheek with your finger.
"I remember when you told us that Y/N was pregnant again", said Lucy, "You couldn't wait give give El a baby brother or sister."
"That's what you meant when you said you were busy, huh"' Rami winked. "We thought it was time, you know, El became a big sister."
******
"Gosh, I feel bad for not saying goodnight to everyone", you yawned "I didn't realise how tired I was.". You watched as the baby snuggled into the pastel green blanket, sound asleep.
You felt the baby lifted off your arms and opened your eyes, your fingers tightening on the baby "Shhhh its okay, it's me. I got him.", said Joe as he took the baby in his arm and laid him down on the bassinet right by the bedside. "Aren't you supposed to be downstairs?", you asked sleepy
"I knew you'd have dozed off with the baby when you didn't show up and everybody was tired after the long night. Probably asleep by now", Joe said, "Come let's go to sleep."
'C'mon now, in you get', Joe said pulling the duvet aside and you got in and he behind you. His strong arms wrapped around you after he pulled the blanket over the both of you. You nuzzled into his neck. Joe kissed the top of your head. As the two of you dozed off.

my long overview/review of âStar Wars: Journey to Batuuâ after forcing myself to play it almost nonstop
so i said i was going to amend what i said in response to this ask after playing to min/max shit so here is a tldr version of my opinion after playing:
I consider this pack to be a 2/10; It's enough to kill time as a temporary distraction, but not for long. Thereâs absolutely no replay value after going through all those missions as each outcome is ultimately the same by faction. There also doesnât seem to be any negative outcomes for each prompt in the little âchoose your adventureâ pop ups--And if there is, it is extremely low since I have never gotten a negative outcome.Â
The aspirations are fair, and are the only things I found in this pack thatâs anyway redeemable since I believe the rewards can be used well in conjunction with general solo/super-sim gameplay.
kinda sat on this for a while bc i wasnât sure if i should post something so lengthy but then i remembered this is my blog n i can post my left toe if i wanted to
even tho i would never post a pic of my left toe anyway
.......at least for free. With the right price, however....
anyway more details under the cut if youâre interested bc i like to ramble :))
I decided to split this into 5 sections to organize my thoughts a little better. Iâll be separating my thoughts on each faction, the ships as a rabbit hole, the faction missions, the star wars aspirations, and then the breakdown of my 2/10 rating.Â
1. Factions
When you travel to Batuu, the game gives you a starting âmissionâ or quest to get you acclimated to the areas, and each area has a specific Faction associated with it.
And yes, you cannot live anywhere, nor are there any lots, as was already stated.
Every area has a similar makeup which has:
Control Panels
Supply Crates
1 non-rabbit hole area
1 interactable ship
The Black Spire Outpost is the biggest area and has:
Two places to grab food, three if you count the Cantina
Aside from the Cantina, the other areas are rabbit holes
The two eateries are:
Docking Bay 7
this one has the most food options
youâll never go hungry in batuu because the cheapest items on the menu are Outpost Popcorn Mix and Water at 0 credits lmao
the other two foods not shown in the screenshot above are Yobshrimp Noodle Salad and Braised Shaak Roast
Ronto Roasters
This food place has two of the same options Docking Bay 7 has as well as two additional food items
Ogaâs Cantina
The only area that you see the inside of
yea the bar serves batuu-only drinks too
also where you find the guy who would give you Scoundrel missions, Hondo Ohnaka.
You can essentially max your Scoundrel reputation without it hindering whichever side you wanna take, and you can keep it when you essentially max out your rep on either the Resistance or the First Order.
There arenât any real pros to being a Scoundrel aside from some socialization interactions. It doesnât do anything for initial Batuu gameplay aside from unlocking Scoundrel outfits in CAS and some upgrades for your droids, but this goes for all of your options (Resistance, First Order, & Scoundrel).
The Dwelling
This is a rabbit hole where your sim goes to sleep, pee, or shower⊠If not the closest bench.Â
Itâs located opposite to the Cantina.Â
If youâre ever lost, thereâs a spire you can sit/nap on right in front of itâor you can just wait till your sim wants to pee.Â
theyâll automatically run thereÂ
thatâs⊠how i found it, tbh
Dok Ondarâs Den of Antiquities
Another rabbithole
This place sells items you can use to complete missions, like Dataspikes and a couple of Lightsaber parts
Majority of the inventory are decorative stuff to bring back with you
Saviâs Workshop
Right behind the antique shop is the lightsaber place where you can find more hilts, kyber crystals, and display cases for your lightsabers.
You can also click on the shop to start a lightsaber challenge.
Outside this area, you have the First Order District which has more supply crates and control panels than the other two neighborhoods, and a lot more activityâMakes sense since this is basically the hub for the First Order in general.Â
Thereâs only the Droid Depot in this area, and the only real shop that has use for credits. Food wise, thereâs a food stall, and if your sim is stinky or tired, theyâd basically disappear for a few minutes to recharge and come back.Â
Droid Depot
Each faction has specific Droid personality traits
Aside from âvoices,â these personalities donât do much
I guess the First Order one is a lot more zap-happy though
The Resistance Camp is even smaller. Like the other areas, itâs littered with supply crates, but only has one control panel and no shops. However, thereâs a rabbit hole toward the back in the Caves.
This doesnât lead you to anywhere interesting, and itâs just another âchoose your own adventureâ kind of thing.Â
2. Ships
In the Black Spire Outpost, youâll find the iconic Millennium Falcon. You can do kessel runs and explore in the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca if you have a high Scoundrel reputation.Â
However, although I said you get to ride with Chewbacca, you donât ever see him come outÂ
He just kindaâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ..stays there
and the prompts tell u heâs there
n ur gonna have to go with it and use the power of your imagination to believe he really do be there
In the First Order District, thereâs the TIE Echelon, which functions the same way as the Millennium Falcon⊠But, you canât do anything outside of exploring or using it for missions. This is how the X-Wing Starfighter in the Resistance Camp functions as well.Â
Itâs all pretty copy and paste, but w/e, thatâs how EA does it Â
 ¯\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
3. Missions
There may be several different missions per faction, but to no oneâs surprise, theyâre all literally the same one but worded differently.
Regular missions only have one plus (+) and one negative (-) icon
Regular Scoundrel missions only have one plus icon and no negatives since they donât impact other factions
Each faction has a regular mission that pertains to:
Obtaining information
Exploring with the factionâs designated ship
Stealing from Supply Crates
Hacking a Control Panel
YesâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ.Theyâre very repetitive
You donât have to do all of them though
You can spam the same one over and over as long as it fits the time slot
For example, the Resistanceâs ship exploration mission is limited to only the day time and seems to disappear when it gets late in game
also thereâs an error with the TIE Echelon where itâs missing a whole ass prompt
âŠâŠAs you can see, the options make no sense because the prompt is the same one that came before it đ„Ž
anywayâŠ
Story Missions are the only missions that seem to differentiate from each faction.
All missions that pertain to the âstoryâ are indicated with prerequisites of higher ranks within the faction
All of them give a double boost toward your faction
If itâs a Resistance story quest, itâll always increase hostility from First Order members
Vice versa for the First Order faction
The Scoundrels are neutral, and do not impact any factionÂ
Itâs only the Resistance and First Order factions that have very similar plot lines
but Iâm guessing itâs only like that since theyâre supposed to follow the vague cause/effect the two of them have?
4. Aspirations
The initial Aspiration you get when you pick the Star Wars umbrella in CAS (or in game) is âHope VS Order.â After completing this one aspiration, you unlock the 3 that pertain to each faction.
Paragon of Hope
Resistance aspiration
Reward trait gives a boost to Charisma skill building
This is probably nice for those careers that need Charisma to be high, like the Political and Business branches
Enforcer of Order
First Order aspiration
Lowers chances of âDeath from Angerâ
Since I like killing my sims, I think this aspiration is pointless lmao
Galactic Privateer
Scoundrel aspiration
âSleight of Handâ reward trait
Unlocks pickpocketing outside of Criminal branch usage
Best one here tbh
Works outside of Batuu, youâll steal simoleons instead of credits
Also you can cheat whenever u play Sabaac and no one will notice
5. Reevaluation of Initial Opinions
Iâll be going through my initial list from my Response to the Ask I got before. I originally stated that it seemed promising and it was a 3.5~4/10.
Aesthetics/Visual: my opinion is unchanged, it still made me sad i canât have a little shanty house out there or rent a garbo lot, 0.5/5
The longer I played, the more I didnât find any new animations
The lightsaber sparring slowly began to look like a mash between GF and RoM duels after a while
I still hate that the areas were beautiful (+0.5) but the interactive places forced cutaway
why do you wanna ruin my screenshots like this, man
CAS/BB still is hard to integrateâUnless your sim is a geek with figurines, the ship models might be nice to add to their collections
OtherwiseâŠâŠ
âŠ.
I donât have a follow up for that, sry
Gameplay: uhhh at least i found something i could use outside of Batuu, 1.5/5
I think that playing 3984729847 repetitive missions for a long period time really orientated me to the whole map
âŠbut the fact that i had trouble the first time around still makes it not-user friendly
the issue I had with the resistance members not having an icon? Itâs a thing, I guess
The resistance quests take you on a weird trip to âproveâ yourself so i guess the icons are supposed to show that theyâre ânotâ resistance members or something idk
theyâre supposed to be the sneaky underdogs who wanna do good or w/e
I guess thatâs immersiveâŠâŠ.. +0.5
sry im first order trash
they also have âIgnite the Sparkâ and âAsk about Missionsâ both leading to the same mission screenâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ.
convenience?? i guess??
missions are still confusing, made worse when the game itself glitches up a storm
there was one mission where i had to go to the cantina to find someone
and they wouldnât spawn within the time frameâŠâŠâŠâŠ.
i had to go in and out for like 3 days until they actually spawned
i only knew this bc i arrested half the people in the cantina while i was bored
so anyone without a red bar was probably them lmfaoo
also, as i stated aboveâŠâŠ. thereâs some mission errors in the promptsÂ
Currency is still worthless.
Everything can be done by purely stealing from supply crates
Credits are only worth to blow it off on sabaac!Â
The only real need for credits is to have 1,000 so u can buy a droid
Then slam the rest of those credits on the table to bet bajillions on a game of sabaac!
AspirationsâŠâŠâŠ. Useful +1
Despite them being sorta niche, theyâre pretty decent
Can abuse the rewards for optimal gameplay for a super sim
Honestly i just love the pickpocketing reward off the Scoundrel aspiration, just because it works outside of Batuu (and that he didnât have to be in the Criminal career for it either)
In total, my personal rating for this pack is 2/10.
It was nice, but I donât really see this pack being replayable, considering that i did everything there was to do on Batuu in a single trip. Sure I couldâve taken my time, but since everything would end up the same anyway, it felt like it was set up to be a one-time gig.Â
At least with JA youâre moderately forced to return so you can collect treasures that are RNGâIn JtB, you can snatch up all that you need on Batuu from grinding everything like a nutcase. Thereâs also chances of failure in JA, but on Batuu that percentage is almost little to none. The most youâll ever get is a dazed moodlet that barely lasts, a negative relationship, and being escorted to a loading screen. Â
I feel like this pack could be a little better if there were more risks involved, but there are barely any that I encountered. Itâs just another weird, rehashed cash grab by EA.
#star wars: journey to batuu#star wars#journey to batuu#SW: JtB#sims expansion review#i could just say its a disappointment#but tbh the whole game is a disappointment#if you're gonna ask why i still play ts4 if i find it disappointing#i'll have to answer that w:#the games i play are a reflection of me#and I'M a disappointment#đ

its been a busy fuckin week for this mod my ladz!!! i thought i would just give an end of week run down how everything is going, everything added so far and my to do list! also discord!!! and patreon!!! but iâll talk abt that after this!! a general run down if u dnt know what this wip mod is:
The Royalty Mod gives your sims the opportunity to being the reigning Monarch of your game. They have the chance to become a Beloved Ruler or a Despised Tyrant (and will be treated as such!) They will be completely in control of a custom tax system, will the be benevolent and keep the taxes low or be greedy and fill their coffers with their subjectâs simoleans? Be careful though, your actions will affect your citizens and their views of you! Your Monarch will be the most important piece of the puzzle, as they will be able to give titles to family and friends... or even a random street vendor. Having your Monarch bestow titles such as Crown Royals, Royal Partners, Servants, Court Wizards and more, keeps you out of CAS and IN your game! No more stopping and starting your gameplay!
A general overview of everything included so far:
Monarch: - A custom Heir system: Your Monarch can choose anyone bestowed with the title of Crown Royal or Royal Partner to become the next in line to the throne! And if they decide they made a mistake, the Heir can be disowned :((( sad lyfe As soon as the Monarch passes away, the Heir will automatically claim the throne! - If your Monarch dies before they get a chance to name an heir, then any Crown Royal or Royal Partner can vie for the throne. Whoever the people choose (gets to reputation level 6 - very good) first, will become the next Monarch! - Teens and up can become the Monarch, (lookin at u edward the 6th) - Custom tax system! Raise taxes to get more money instantly and in your weekly tax collection, but incur the ire of your subjects! Lower taxes and you will lose money and earn less each week but your subjects will love you! - Your Monarch will draw a crowd wherever they go! Even with no fame points theyâll attract a mass of adoring onlookers. (But no paparazzi for my historical players) - Make world-wide decrees - Listen to your subjects pressing concerns by telling your Trusted Advisor that you will hold a hearing, get that gud gud karma!! - Make anyone a Crown Royal! - Make the land celebrate your own birthday with a new Monarchâs Birthday tradition, with custom goals to be met! - Donât walk like the rest of these peasants, make sure to enable your royal stride to royally stand out from the crowd. Not enough? Enable your regal glow to really drive home that youâre better than everyone else! - Royal greetings! - Allow your subjects to commence Sunday trading on a lot with the Market lot trait! Townies will come and man the stalls every sunday 9-3 and the royal family can peruse and purchase to their hearts content! -probably more that im forgetting!!!
Heirs, Crown Royals & Royal Partners: - Titles are bestowed by the monarch, crown royals & heirs can be titled at birth and Royal Partners can be titled after marriage! - Both can be named as Heir, and both can vie for the throne if the Monarch dies unexpectedly! - Your Monarch can make anyone a Crown Royal, so if you gameplayed that your Monarch adopted a poor orphan kid, then they can have a shot at the throne too! - All have multiple different social and skill modifiers, so they can make new friends fast and be better at everything than them! - Also all have their own socials - ALSO all can be completely banished from the royal family - u can defo marry into the royal family if u wanted, and make ur peasant family the next gen of royals ;))) - loads more but im so tired
Trusted Advisor: - Your Monarch will choose their trusted advisor! they advice! u on stuff! so choose wisely! - everything about taxes, beginning situations, domestic affair (and planning to add LOADS more) goes thru ur advisor, just like it does in real life and by real life i mean i think i just made that up - way more 2 come bros
- brand spankin new custom animations!!!!!!!!!!
Planned to Add (p much the same as last post): - unlockable interactions based on skills such as charisma - bad monarch reputation and tyrant trait to have the possibility of triggering a revolt??? - Custom situations to trigger weekly events such as royal hearings, banquets ect. - custom situations to trigger a bunch of npc servants (big maybe) - Mass Excitement over royal babies - Mass Mourning over passed over Monarchs - Mass Excitement over new Monarch - Options for crown royals to steal the throne - Sentence to death - Way more custom socials - looking into craftables - Perhaps more of a focus on the working class - more magicky type interactions for court wizards - just like. so much more. but its 1:30am and my brain has stopped working
ok now i wrote this out it rlly doesnât look like a lot but i have so many gatdamn plans for shit i still gotta add. plus i will probably end up making hair and a few clothes and objects too. also omg guys im totally gonna make one of those fancy fuckin trailers for youtube :))))))))))) also was i on fiverr lookin at voice actors to narrate it...? maybe bitch
anyway i said i would talk abt patreon so here it is!!!
first things first, let me just say that no, i absolutely do not think i am entitled to a single cent of anyoneâs money!!! I would/will still put 110% into this mod and my future mods because I absolutely love doing this. At the moment Iâm currently working on this mod about 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week (animations bruh), which is kinda insane. but I want this to be everything everyoneâs wanted from EA for years.
I made a Patreon for those who would like to support me. If you do decide to become a Patron I am endlessly thankful for that, not just the monetary value of it but the fact that you believe in me enough to do that.
Every cent of any pledge goes towards my saving fund for my course next year, which for those of who donât know, Iâm currently a first year Game Design student!!! In complete clarity, Iâm looking at a $15,000 loan atm, so literally anything helps if u do decide to pledge!
Tiers start at $1 and all tiers have access to a private patrons channel in my discord! u can go read what u get with the tiers over on my page! Iâve offered as much as I can, but since im super not down with exclusives, pls let me know if u think thereâs anythin more i can offer u guys!!!
Tier 2 does include a one week early access to my content. I feel like this is the most Iâm comfortable offering, and I will always stick to or under EAâs rules when it comes to Patreon.
Tier 2 also offers first picks for Beta Testing, but depending on how many (if any) tier 2 patrons I get, it may work on a rotational system as I still want to include people from tumblr in the beta testing. I donât want anyone who canât afford patreon to feel left out, so I would still offer some beta testing spots here and itâll be first come first served like normal! i donât want it to feel like iâm gatekeeping my cc. i hope this is okay with you guys! For those who arenât in a place where they can become a patron, but still want to stay included in everything related to this mod, I now have a Discord Server that anyone can join! speaking of >>>>
we have a discord ladzzzz!!!!!!!!!
If u wanna stay up to date on everything Iâm doing regarding the mod, or u have a question or suggestion, or there's something wrong with one of my mods that u need fixed, or tbh if u just wanna hang out with some cool dudeeees n chill n chat n have a jolly time then com join the discord!!!!!!!!
iâm going to be posting updates and screenshots of the mod process much more frequently there (probs like a few times a day tbh lmao) and itâs much easier to get a hold of me there if u have any suggestions.
and tbh we just gonna have a chill time and i want a metric fuckton of memes and gifs. if that doesnât sway u, we have a whole channel dedicated to only pics of guy fieri. u will be banned if u post anything else there. u were warned.
ok god im so sorry this is literally 10 years long but i just had a lOT to say but like, mods goin good lads. i just want to make something that gives the game more play ability and keeps u in game and out of CAS. its excitin stuff. thanks for listenin.
                             PATREON | DISCORD SEVER
          see all royalty mod updates on my tumblr here
also im v sorry if u join the discord like right after this is posted bc i am most definately fuckin asleeeeeeep

haha remember in July when I said I was gonna answer stuff every month... yeah me neither đđ anyways lots of stuff under the cut
Anonymous said: You should get along with other Simblrs and start a new cc group now that PTS is disbanded, your hairs and clothes are always amazing! :D
Firstly thank you! Most of the clothing in AxA is 99% ayoshi with me going in after and cleaning/adding some stuff. So I give him props for the clothes :P As far as a ânew PTSâ style group idk, there are a lot of amazing creators on simblr but I think the reason PTS was such a special thing is because the bond they all had. I feel that when working on collabs with some of my really close friends (such as the one coming out this month with @dogsillâ and @ayoshiâ) because we have known each other for over 2 years now. A group of friends built only for collabing purposes would be more of a hassle than an enjoyment imo. <3
Anonymous said: HELLLOOOO! just curious bc why not but what is your favorite creation that you have made??
It varies every month to be honest lmao. If you asked me to pick a favorite hair from each month? Easy, always the last release of the month. But favorite hair ever? Awwww shucks đ€ lmao I would say my Madison Hair is one of my favorite hair releases, I am planning to revamp it soon to work with my Mia ombre accessories and tidy the mesh up some.Â

@ang3lba3 said: sarah is so pretty!!! is there a way to download how she looks in its entirety, or no? (sorry if this is a silly question im pretty new to the sims)Â
not silly donât worry :P the Sarah hair is for download on the post, the sim can be downloaded here but she is a bit outdated as I have changed her somewhat since then.Â
Anonymous said: Hihi just stopping by to tell you how much I love your hairs!!

zip your Sims 4 folder and upload it to Google Drive/SimsFileShare/OneDrive. Then when you install Sims 4 again you just replace the folder made in Electronic Arts in your Documents.

Spider-Man PS4 Review
 I just finished the game so here's my official review. I've been taking some notes throughout playing it so don't think I didn't have time to think it over or anything. This will be a long post so bear with me. (NON SPOILERS)
I started by wondering if I should get this game, E3 looked hype from the trailers but it never stood up front the crowd, losts of speculation from me. A few months ago I watched a video where these guys got to play it early just to share game mechanics (I think it was GameSpot or something) I know what they meant in a lot of things they were talking about now. Now here's the kicker, there's DLC. I hate DLC, never get it despite a lot of it looking cool, however I saw Black Cat as one of the DLC. I have a soft spot when it comes to Black Cat, I just have to check it out when she's involved...leading me to not only buy the game but the deluxe edition as well.
Let me start from the intro of the game. It is actually very visual oriented and easter egg filled. It explains the story of Spider-Man, where we are, and the timeline in less of a minute without saying a word. A spider drops down from the window (Pete getting powers) There's a pic of Uncle Ben and May and Peter then one of Mary Jane and Harry (they've met, been friends, graduated) Next picture has only Peter and May (Ben's death). There's a notebook with concepts for a web shooter (throwback to the 2002 movie sketches) A magazine with Norman Osborn that's labeled "Secrets" with some green nerf darts (Green Goblin is the secret (hence green darts) so not yet introduced) There's a wall of newspaper clippings with some of the villains on them (The big ones that have already been fought in this timeline) Next is a series of post-it notes but the most visible says "RENT DUE". (Peter owns his own place and is struggling) Now that's what I call an intro (it gets more epic right after but i wont spoil)
One complaint I see is the graphics. "They aren't as good as we saw at E3" or something along those lines. BOI this game has great graphics for starters and second How noticeable is the texture on a wall or a puddle compared to the actual character models? This game has a perfect excuse for toning down some ever so slightly. It runs better. It's an open world game and there's maybe one small loading screen and then this bad boy of a town is all yours, If these cutscenes were prerendered (a select few are but for the most part) then it would seem weird going from that to a loading screen. THERE ARE NO LOADING SCREENS AFTER CUTSCENES! It's straight into the action. Seamless. Having the graphics of both cutscene and gameplay match each other just enhances the experience for me so good on them! Also you can look in most windows and actually see stuff in there like computers or if the light is on or chairs/tables etc. That's next level! There are tips on the few loading screens you have (such as if you start a side mission, which I'll get to here in a minute) and they go by so fast you can just barely read the tip, it's that quick for me.
Next complaint I don't see much at all anymore but saw when this game was announced was the voice cast. Yuri Lowenthal wasn't the first pick for a lot of Spidey fans but he does an excellent job in this game like I mean they all do but you can really tell that the cast went all out for this game, it's great. Yuri even shares a name with one of the characters so yay. Also he voices older Ben from Ben 10. Even though it would be cool to have different voice actors for different suits such as Tom Holland for the Homecoming suit, Yuri does a nice job. Jameson is in this and he hosts a podcast that plays sometimes while you're swinging, that's a good modern take on him but nobody will ever beat JK Simmons just saying.
The Spiderman juggernaut that was Spiderman 2 (preferably the GC version for me) was a big game to stack against, nothing has beat it until this game in my opinion. Spiderman 2 I could get lost in just doing side missions, I would literally spend my time saving people hanging from roofs, getting mugged and car chases and still be satisfied with that game, it was that good! (also I wasn't too good at knowing what to do in games as a kid so eh) The swinging, the jumping, all felt natural and fun. This game can perhaps even beat that even with nostalgia, the web swinging is the best we've seen, it applies parkour and acrobatics and gravity and momentum to define what I say is the word to describe this game "F-L-O-W". Everything has a flow and it feels good for it to flow. It does a good job of trying to keep what everyone liked with SP2...even a few character chase sequences, which I've always hated and still do but it's still nostalgic and would probably be missed if it wasn't in there. Wallrunning is a lot simpler and easier, web shooting is a lot more fun and gives you control, lots of different variety, lots of different unlockables. Also you can actually unlock that super jump like in SP2 and I love it! You don't get stuck nearly as often, if you're swinging, you don't lose momentum if you run into stairs or a building, he goes straight into wall run mode or just swings around it, feels so good. There's actually a throwback to the Spiderman 2 train sequence where he mentions "That worked last time" when trying to use his webs to stop a train.
I made sure to give a fair amount of effort to do as much as I can in this game. I did all the landmark missions, backpacks, black cat stakeouts, collected most of the suits, unlocked every skill, tried different play styles with webbing and such. (I can actually recognize how someone's play style is different than mine when I watch because I've played it so much) You don't like the white spider suit? Well you can unlock others and play as those instead, you barely have to use the white spider suit but doesn't go without saying each suit interchangeable quirks but not making any more powerful than another. Use the environment to your advantage, there's some stealth involved here but you don't have to use it, it's actually pretty fun. You can throw trash cans and concrete mix and shock people with stuff. You can crawl in vents.
Side missions and side stuff. Are they fun? I'd be lying if I said every single one was great but there are a lot of really good ones, some even bring in certain characters that I shuttered when I saw. Backpacks were awesome because it's always a mystery where they'll be as well as what's in them, plus it unlocks a certain suit. Black Cat missions, obviously I love, get a suit out of that too. Landmarks are kinda fun, I didn't think I'd like it much but I just did it and was like "Wow that's actually a really cool shot" it makes me feel like a photographer (Have yet to try Photo mode though). But here's something cool. If you go to a side mission, it will take you out of your current situation so you don't waste time or get distracted by certain elements and puts you in a separate but same version New York and if you're in a phone call with someone and you go to do a side quest during it, Peter will say something like "Sorry about that, continue" and it will either pick up where you left off in the call or rewind a little bit so you remember. Here's something I didn't think I would see though. Minigames. Yeah...so apparently you can scan an element for it's components and you have to match the lines and then there's one for the neural interface which has you making a path from one side to another, and it's not the best but whatever, it does what it does.
The story is on par. If it were separated into a movie, it might actually work, it's of that quality. The characters are great as well, each being unique to this story without breaking their comic origin too much. Spidey actually got me to laugh quite a few times with his quips. I want to go in depth with the characters because I really like how some of them are handled but I don't want to spoil who all is in this game. The AI is pretty good, I like that it tells you if an enemy can see you and can highlight where all the enemies are by pressing R3. I even had the final boss dodging some of my attacks, I had nothing but respect for that though, no salt.
Now this game is among the greats but that goes without saying there are some aspects that could be improved upon. People complained about Quick Time Events when this was revealed and I didn't blame them but now I do because I see a few scenes that look like "Aww I wanna play that" because it was probably a scene meant for QTE but they took it out because of fan backlash (QTE is still in there but not a lot fyi). At the end Peter is faced with some decisions and that's what Spider-Man is about, we even see it at the end of the first Spider-Man movie and done masterfully. This one is done really well but I almost wish we could've played that, and made the decision for ourselves just to see what the outcome would be then go and play it again to do the other route. The problem with that is this isn't a "Mary Jane will remember that Telltale/Detroit" kind of game so putting that in right at the end would feel a bit cheap. Just like the Marvel movies, there's a post credits scene so stay tuned for that. Overall a really good game, highly recommend it and await the the DLC/sequel?. I'm over 80% done with the game after finishing the story so I might as well just 100% it and complete all side missions and stuff.

A buncha replies about high-poly hair, fur-coated vacation locals, evil enablers, laziness, an old game being old, time management or the lack thereof, creepy pizza delivery dudes, terrain defaults that may or may not work, House Hunters and stupid Americans, nuzzling cats, cheap but AWESOME 80s knives, fermented milk and Canadian weirdness about it, forcing TV on people who donât want it, annnnnnnd...Texas? Yep, Texas.
Quite a list, ainât it? :) IOW, these go back a bit because Iâm...me.Â
These are for @immerso-sims, @nekosayuri, @fuzzyspork, @kairisu, @alawren4ever, @ajaysims, @didilysims, @delicatesoul88, @dreadpirate, @treason-and-plot, @jellybeanery, @pensblr, @twofee, @hemfbg, and @penig. Because Texas. ;)
Also, peripherally, @twofingerswhiskey.
immerso-sims replied to your photo âSo instead of filling up my queue OR firing up my rebooted Castaway...â
I am guilty of having quite a few high polycount hairs, but I donât have much CC in general and my Macie seems to handle them well, even with an integrated video card, so all is well, but yeah, 30k is a liiiiiittle bit excessive.
I have a few really high-poly hairs (20+K), myself. My game/computer does seem to be able to handle them without a fuss. (I really donât know WHY, since both the machine AND the video card are older models, but...Hey, Iâm not gonna argue. :) ) Even so, the ones I have are special and unique and very fabulous in some way, and if I later find a similar just-as-nice but lower-poly style, Iâll ditch the high-poly one in a heartbeat.
Mostly, though, I stick to hairs that are ~10K polys or less. Iâll have as many of those as I want because I figure if my game can handle the 30K+ ones without issue, it can handle a bunch of 10Ks. I have fewer that are 10K-12K. 13K is generally (and arbitrarily) my hard limit unless the hair falls into the âunique and fabulousâ category and, really, those are few and far between.
nekosayuri replied to your photo âSo instead of filling up my queue OR firing up my rebooted Castaway...â
@digitalangels lowered the polycount on Aviary, I'm pretty sure
I wouldnât be surprised if she has. But really? There are already plenty of quite similar hairs that look just as nice as that one and that have much lower polycounts. Iâll bet itâs one of those that has thousands of backfaces that donât even show in the game. :\Â
fuzzyspork replied to your photo âWell. This isnât something you see every day. :) (Guess I missed that...â
The static she will collect on the way down will make that coat look like a tribble.
Yeah, like a tribble...or like they slaughtered a thousand-and-one poofy Pomeranian dogs to make her coat. :)
kairisu replied to your photo âWell. This isnât something you see every day. :) (Guess I missed that...â
she's sliding in style ïżœïżœâš
Maybe. But sheâs gonna make a mess of that fancy fur coat. :)
alawren4ever replied to your post âSo now that the second Blind Date gift I was called upon to make is...â
Fun thing of course!
See? THATâS JUST NOT HELPFUL! :D I enable myself to do the fun thing quite well, thank you. ;)
nekosayuri replied to your post âSo now that the second Blind Date gift I was called upon to make is...â
Get a mouse recorder to do it for you XD
Thatâs tempting, but the majority of the time spent on the âediting,â such as it is, is cropping the pics in the right place and to (more-or-less) the right size ratios. Itâs never the same twice, so it couldnât be automated.
(Confession: I had to Google âmouse recorder.â I mean, I could kind of tell what one would do from the name, but I doubted that such things actually existed. SURPRISE! :) )
ajaysims replied to your post âSo now that the second Blind Date gift I was called upon to make is...â
I really know what you mean. My head is always bursting with a million different hood and story ideas but at the end of the day a lot of the time I just wanna play without thinking about editing pics after.
Yep, thatâs me, too. I mean, I have (literally) about 1200 GilsCarburg pics to post. I mean, they wouldnât all be posted because a good chunk of them are similar, where I took a lot of pics knowing Iâd pick the best one of the bunch to post, but still...a lot. Itâs going through them and making the posts that I drag my feet on sometimes. I kinda have to psych myself up to do it -- although once I start, I enjoy doing it, so itâs not a chore or anything :) -- and itâs easy to distract myself by, for instance, downloading a bunch of hairs for my Castaway game because I want to try my hand at making defaults for it.
nekosayuri replied to your post âYou're my Senpai. Lol jk but for reals I adore you! You make amazing...â
Senpai XD tbh this is one of those things though, people actually PLAY the game AND make cc AND download stuff AND organise downloads folder/Tumblr posts. How do people have time for all of that??
I honestly donât know how most people do it. For me, the answerâs easy: Iâm mostly retired -- Iâll do paid gigs if I get bored and want to, but otherwise? Eh. -- and I donât have to worry about money. And I have employees. That helps, too. Also, I have health issues that prevent me from doing a lot of things Iâd LIKE to do. So, I do Sims-related stuff a lot. And go on a lot of dates with my husband, but he DOES work, so I canât be doing stuff with him all the time. So, for now, unless/until I decide to do some kind of volunteering, I occupy a good chunk of my time with Sims stuff. And with hanging out with friends and whatnot, too, of course. But...Yeah, I donât have a ânormalâ life. I donât know how people who DO have a normal life manage to do all the Sims stuff they do.
delicatesoul88 replied to your post âHi there, Iâm pretty impressed that you create and use a lot of high...â
@dramallamadingdang I feel like I should print this and place it up right next to my monitors for the next time I take the cc cleanup plunge. The flashing pink bug is real and has caught up to me, I also know its my own darn fault for having so much cc. My computer can handle it but my game can't, and this is the swift kick in the rear I needed to remind me of that.
dreadpirate replied to your post âHi there, Iâm pretty impressed that you create and use a lot of high...â
Personally what works for me (since I love my sims 3 and 4 conversions and my pretty hairs) is playing with smaller lots as much as possible and going easy on the clutter
Yeah, itâs all a matter of prioritizing. You truly canât have everything because âold game is oldâ even if you personally own a supercomputer. So, you focus on whatâs most important to you and sort of skimp on the other stuff. So if pretty hairs and conversions are your thing, OK, but you might have to sacrifice, yeah, large, heavily-landscaped lots and lots of deco-only clutter and/or a heavily-hood-decorated neighborhood. Or if youâre a person who doesnât actually play the game and just does, say, decorating, you can have all the converted, high-poly/high-res shit your little heart desires because you donât need the high-poly hairs and clothing or the neighborhood stuff. Or if youâre mostly a Sim-maker, you can have all the high-poly hairs with gigantic textures that you want because you donât need anything else that taxes the game.Â
And if you want to do everything...Then I say: Separate user accounts/different downloads folder for each purpose. So, if you wanna decorate, you load up the high-res conversions. You wanna make Sims, load up the high-poly hair. You wanna actually play...Donât go batshit with the big stuff and youâll generally be OK. Conscious downloading is the way to go. Know what youâre putting in your downloads before you put it in there and make conscious, aware, informed decisions so youâre not surprised by any consequences (i.e pink flashing) that you experience..
Itâs all balance, man. Like, be in harmony with the universal spheres, totally.

fuzzyspork replied to your post âTo be or not to be...a bitch.â
My reply to this sort of thing is "Oo, this is short notice. We already have plans!" Even if those plans are to watch Netflix in our underwear. They are probably just doing the Christian thing by inviting you guys and they may not even care if you come (my sister is of the High and Mighty mindset and she invites out of "duty" but is always relieved with people can't come or cancel, lol).
You know, of anyone else, Iâd believe this. But whenever weâve turned down an invite, thereâs always been tons of wheedling about it. So, either theyâre really good actors or they really do want us there. Iâm pretty sure itâs the latter, since entertaining and cooking big meals and all that is what the female half of the couple lives for, since aside from going to church, sheâs stuck at home, homeschooling their 7 kids, ranging from infants to teens. (Which is another reason to avoid their house, as far as Iâm concerned. Iâm done with kids. I donât hate them or anything, but I really donât enjoy being around them. Especially not toddlers. Iâm not even goo-goo for my own grandkids, so I donât want to deal with anyone elseâs kids anymore.)

Just going to leave this here. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/75/a2/2d/75a22d07e38b1fedd15834c67bea0bb2.jpg
*sporfle* Yeah, that about sums it up, Iâd say. :)
immerso-sims replied to your photoset âKitten spam, with captions.â
The nuzzle animation is so cute :3
It is! I think they couldâve done so much more with pet-to-pet interactions, personally. Like, cats and dogs sleeping in piles like they do IRL. Also, pets sleeping on beds with Sims. (I have the mod that enables that for children, but it would have been nice if that was possible for all Sims.) But at least that one interaction is cute. :)Â
fuzzyspork replied to your post âRandom non-Sims thingsâ
Oh god House Hunters. What gets me is when they decide they don't want to buy "the perfect in every other way" house because the paint/wallpaper/carpet is hideous. I always yell at the TV "THOSE ARE EASY TO CHANGE YOU PRISSY IDIOT!" But we ditched cable TV a few years ago and I've never been happier. It's so much more relaxing to just watch what we want streaming, when we want, not bound to a show's schedule.
Yeah! I saw that, too! I was like, âYou know what? Thereâs this thing called painting. And if you donât want to do it yourself, thereâre even people who you can pay to do it for you!â But when the realtor says something like that (with not NEARLY enough snark, IMO), theyâll say âOh, we donât want any big projects.â As if painting one room before thereâs anything in it is a âbig project.â Stupidity abounds!
And yeah, Iâm much happier without squawk boxes around. The only remotely good thing about it is Cartoon Network. And some of the HGTV-type stuff is fun to watch, I suppose, if only to get ideas for my game. ;) But I much prefer no TV. I mean, yeah, I know no one forces anyone to turn it on, but we feel like we should watch SOMETHING since weâre paying through the nose for it. :p
twofee replied to your post âRandom non-Sims thingsâ
house hunters international is hilarious because they always want to be in the center of whatever city, pay almost nothing in rent, and at least one person in the couple expects everything to be americanized. plus if they are asking for it to come furnished, they always complain about how its not their style or whatever. i just want to see the pretty scenery of the country youre lucky enough to be able move to. have you been able to guess which house theyll pick?
I can pretty much always tell the house theyâll pick because itâs usually the one thatâs most like what the female half of the couple wants. Which is so stereotypical but...there it is.
And yeah, I watched an âInternationalâ one the other day. Some chick looking for a place to rent in Spain who was bitching about the lack of central air conditioning (In buildings older than America, that she said she WANTED to live in) and freaking out because -- OMG! -- the washing machine was installed in the (small) kitchen! Americans, SMH. Of course, she ended up in a new place with central air that was very American and also above her budget, but she justified that by saying sheâd be more âcomfortableâ there. :p Moron. Why go live in another country if you just want to drag yours along with you? Isnât that exactly what a certain sector of American citizens bitch about when it comes to immigrants? But what do American Ă©migrĂ©s do? *sigh* Swear, most Americans just need to stay the hell in America because God forbid they deign to adapt to anything else. :p
hemfbg replied to your post âRandom non-Sims thingsâ
It's funny that you mention House Hunters- it's playing on the tv in the other room. Sometimes I'll watch it when it's on just because I like to look inside other houses, though I agree with you about it being very safe-for-tv and every episode being the same.
I did actually see a gay couple on it the other day! Of course, they were a white, middle-aged well-off gay couple looking for a place in Palm Springs, CA, which is pretty much a place you canât live in unless youâre LGBT (and well-off), but still! Gay people, OMG!Â
nekosayuri replied to your post âËTis reply time! \0/â
Maybe you could suggest it over at MTS to people who actually mod? it is a great idea overall! and it *might* be possible, but wont know till we try right? :D
I did post the idea in the âHacks & CC Youâd Like To Seeâ thread over there. Itâs not a request thread, though, because MTS doesnât allow requests. Itâs more like an âI wishâ thread, and a lot of the stuff wished-for IS impossible, but sometimes people have picked stuff out of the thread and actually done it, so...Well, itâs out there in the world. Of course, right after I posted it, a little argument broke out about something unrelated, so it quickly got buried, but maybe somethingâll come of it. Who knows?

3) I need to get me some of those knives! I feel like I'm sharpening my junky knives every time I use them because I refuse to crush my poor vegetables instead of cutting them. Never heard of the brand but I looked it up and apparently they're still making them. Probably not as good quality as back in the day but...I'll keep my eyes open in the stores now. :)
I was amazed to find out that Ginsu still exists. But yeah, those knives are way nicer than their 70s/80s ancestors. Which, yeah, probably means they wonât work half as well. :) Gimme my cheap plastic-handled bread knife made of God-knows-what ANY DAY!

1) Pretty sure internet packages try to include TV these days because the TV stations are paying them extra money to force it on people. 2) I say it the American way (never heard the English way in my memory) but I spell it with an H. There are almost as many different spellings as there are different Canadians, however. I've also seen yogourt, which is an odd one.
1) Iâm pretty sure youâre right. Iâm also pretty sure that most people do still want TV...although Iâm pretty sure that, as time goes on, most people will prefer to stream what they want when they want it, so I think standard TVâs kind of on its way to dinosaur-hood. So perhaps one day it will no longer be forced on people. Probably wonât happen before I croak, though. :P 2) Yeah, @twofingerswhiskey reblogged with a pic of a yog(h)(o)urt container spelled âyogourt,â which is apparently how they spell it in Quebec (so I guess thatâs how itâs spelled in France? Who knew?), which is apparently where most of yâallâs yog(h)(o)urt is made. :) Which is kinda weird, if you ask me. Why Quebec? Are there no dairy cows in Saskatchewan or Ontario or Alberta? :) Iâve seen dairy cows in BC, so I know theyâre there...
penig replied to your post âËTis reply time! \0/â
Army bases can be beautiful. Ever go to Ft. Sam Houston? There's a reason all the officers retire here...
Nope, never been there. Iâm sorry to say that I avoid Texas as much as I can. No offense to you or to any other individual Texan out there, but...yâall have a lot of bombastic asshats amongst you. And yâall seem to elect sexist, grabby-hands asshats at an alarming rate, too. Whenever Iâve been in Texas, Iâve had bad experiences at the hands of those two groups. So...Yeah, not going there if I can possibly help it. THAT said, I know that the cities are generally better and Iâd like to visit San Antonio one day -- and maybe Ft. Sam Houston -- because Iâve heard that itâs, like, the artsy/hippie capital of Texas, kind of like how Santa Fe/Taos is the artsy/hippie capital of New Mexico, but....yeah. *sigh*Â

Fuckboi!BTS Headcanons
Reactions Masterlist here
Requests always open
Rap Monster
âHey baby girlâ
Uses his âdaddyâ voice to trigger you
Brings out an intelligence kink in you
Hates âabusive jerksâ
Believes in being a gentleman
but heâs a gentleman to every girl
Possibly not exactly realizing heâs almost as much of a jerk as the guy he was defending against for you
Doesnât beat around the bush
âYou. Me. My place. 10 minutes.â
Dominant af
Knows his type:
Emotional, submissive
Always there after a break up
Makes you believe that giving into your lust will be empowering
Body worship
âFuck baby girl, your body is gorgeousâ
No matter who it is
She is his baby girl
Uses his brain to be sneaky
but is weak about exhibitionism
canât not fuck in public
How long until you catch him red handed figure out youâre just part of his âbaby girlâ collection?
Jin
Is there such thing as
Sugar daddy fuck boy
?
Only wants to fuck but will still go on plenty of dates
His success is driven by his sexual needs
More money
More girls
Roses to win her over
and her, and her, and her... and also her.
âHow about a date with this handsome face?...â
âYouâll be the envy of the roomâ
Materialism.
Claims to have a guy for everything and anything
as an excuse to get you in his house
âYeah I know a guy, just come over to mine...â
and pants
âHow odd... My guy must have gotten the wrong day...â
**What a shame...**
âWell, since youâre here...â
In his bed, youâre the only girl in the world
On his phone, youâre definitely not, though
No shame when you find out
in fact, doesnât even hide his phone
he manages to keep a good shallow portion of them for his beck and call
Whether you leave or continue getting nice things is your choice, really
Suga
Kind of a rock star fuck boy
Lad on tour
Bathing in the attention girls give him on stage
Has a âmomentâ with about 5 girls in one show
Groupies
âTongue technologyâ
Can change your mind just by throwing on a leather jacket
Drugs, sex, alcohol and cigarettes
Maybe a bit fucked up
But it works to his advantage
because you think you can change him
and he can create bullshit stories to gain your sympathy
acts like this hurt creature that needs wrapping in bubble wrap
but then you get down to business and heâs
WILD
but youâre enjoying yourself too much to mention the sudden contrast
âYou take me in so wellâ
âYou love itâ
about 40% of his confidence comes from praise during sex
and then an extra 10% from knowing he can get the praise from as many girls as he pleases
Wanderer
âIâm sorry baby, but we canât see each other again. Iâve been given this amazing opportunity to fly over to _____ and make it bigâ
Once he gets what he wants, youâll never see him again
J-Hope
Confidence.
Call him Jay
Backwards snapbacks
and pushed up fringe
âIâm your hope...â
â... your angel...â
Skater by day
Sinner by night
body rolls
hip thrusts
Just knows what to do with his body
to lure you in
âHey baby, you like what you see?â
and it annoys you that he noticed you were happening to look in his direction because heâs
the guy they all warn you about
Will almost pester you
Somehow gets your number
even if you didnât directly give it to him
âNetflix and chill?â
innuendos
Sometimes creepy
but he thinks heâs being sexual af
Pick up lines
âHey girl, did you fall from heaven...?â
ââNo,â you tell him bluntly. âMy knees are just red from crawling up out from the gates of hell... Seriously does that ever even work with anyone?â
Did I mention
He loves it when you get sassy with him
Likes the chase
It just makes the outcome more rewarding
but once is enough
so afterwards, the interest just disappears into thin air
*poof*
*runs away into the night*
Jimin
The sweet boy next door
or so you think
You see him occasionally down the street
and he purposely dresses up fluffy and cute
but itâs just part of the plan
to make your jaw drop when you see him in town one day/night
in black skinny jeans and a leather jacket with a cigarette in his mouth
and suddenly, he gives off this alluring
bad boy vibe
Questions to make you flustered
Especially whilst fucking
but Iâll get to that in a second
Questions.
âCat got your tongue honey?â
Yeah, lots of pet names
including âbaby girlâ again
Usually youâd cringe
but itâs the way he talks to you
he knows how to make you flustered
he knows heâs handsome
lip licking
âYou canât run away from it, chick. Thereâs an obvious chemistry between us, yeah?â
and even though his voice is soft
itâs just so sensual
he just knows
knows all your sweet spots despite barely knowing you
seems to have figured out exactly where to kiss a girlâs neck
basks in your moans
âWhat is it? Everything all right?â
Yeah, also rhetorical questions to which he already knows the answer
No contact details.
Afterwards heâs back to the sweet boy next door
It makes you wonder if you and him ever even happened
V
Unintentionally a fuckboy
maybe even a bit fickle?
Genuinely falls in love with every pretty girl
or so he tries to make himself think
and has to talk to them all
Always updates his SNOW story
of him doing aegyo
Because a cute boy attracts a cute girl, right?
Invites you round for movies
but heâll come to you if you want
Selfies together
Gets to know about you
Tries to convince himself he wants an emotional relationship
until he cuddles you from behind
and you start shuffling around
Character change.
is his breathing getting heavier...?...
before you know it youâre making out with him
and you canât stop yourself
Though he knows deep down all you mean is a fuck
he makes it feel romantic
still into making out under the moonlight
and watching the sunset
followed by sex on the beach
But then
âItâs not you, itâs me.â
âIâm sorryâ
but lowkey isnât
The very next day thereâs another girl on his SNOW story
Jungkook
The longest snapchat streaks
Posts pics that show off his muscles
but leaves enough to the imagination
Which is probably why the girls come to him
thatâs a good thing for him though
because heâs the shyest fuckboy in existence
but feeds from the attention you give him
and thatâs how the ego inflates
Always on his phone
Slides into those DMs
âBoredâ
âKinda wanna watch movies with youâ
Indie but not indie
beats around this bush with his use of
âkinda, wanna.â
Kinda: lazy
Wanna: make you be the one to go to his
Selfie with you to his story only if heâs getting unwanted attention
But he wonât hide her from you
âUgh, Iâm sorry... Thereâs just this one girl...â
Part of you thinks it seems a bit off
But you give the guy and his muscles a chance
Makes use of the fact youâre both bored
âWell, you know, weâre just two young people, with nothing to do...â
which is what he said to the girl that came over for netflix and chill yesterday
Always plays it cool
so if you reject him, heâll carry on like nothing happened
watch the rest of the film/series with you
and then never slide into those dms again
or alternatively,
you donât reject him,
do the do
and then he never slides into those dms again.

wAIT what do you have planned for jin? what do you have planned for anybody?
hey if i drown or get swept away by a tornado when hurricane irma hits my town in florida on sunday + monday, someone make sure these fics get written ok?? please and thx. ANYWAY, answering this is gnna be a big mistake because iâll write like one of these fics and then my brain will shit out like a hundred more ideas that iâll write before i get to any of these, probably!!!! whatever. đđ»âšđ
BANGTAN
JIN â SOMEBODYâŠ@defendkimseokjinâŠdecided to ruin my life and helped jin snatch me in part by demanding a fic based off of these pics so thatâs whatâs coming out next!!! probably!!! donât wanna say too much but iâm playing around with the âdrunk confessionâ cliche. also was inspired to write this thing in which Jin is an old money socialite (and an asshole) and Reader, new money, winds up at this big weekend party he throws on his familyâs private island? andâŠThings Happen? idk Iâm still working on it
HOSEOK â as mentioned months ago at this point! frat/fuckboi Hoseok became something absolutely monstrous. will be of epic length, probably broken up into two or three partsâŠand the weird thing where Readerâs friend is geting married and Hoseok, who sheâs got some sort of past with, is the choreographer for this dance being performed at the reception? I know how random it sounds but justâŠtrust me itâll be good. I think.
JIMIN â Iâve been planning the âduality of manâ inspired fic for like? five months now. I started planning it the day after I saw BTS soâŠApril 2nd? what the hell. Iâve written likeâŠthree paragraphs of it though!!! so thatâs something. also the previously mentioned Modern Magical World AU which is entirely outlined and justâŠwaiting :)
TAEHYUNG â ok soâŠpost-apocalypse!AU but nuclear fallout style. Reader has made a living out of venturing outside of her safe city collecting personal items for ppl but one day she goes out too far and encounters new, unexpected dangersâŠshe is badly injured, and after collapsing on her way home, she wakes up in a bunker where a man who has slowly lost his sanity, who hasnât left the bunker since everything started, who calls himself The Tinker livesâŠif that sounds dumb to you I agree but idk Iâm trying to make it work
JUNGKOOK â of course, the second part of What I Found In You. but in the interest of transparency, I havenât written ANY of this yet and itâs not going to be the next thing I postâŠor the next thing after that, probably. I know, Iâm the worst fiery burning trash and I deserve to suffer
YOONSEOK â another post-apocalypse!AU but this one IS about zombies AND itâs got poly!yoonseok x Reader. and Iâm probably gonna KILL PEOPLE OFF IN IT! I mean you canât expect me to let everyone survive in a zombie apocalypse AU, damn
SEVENTEEN
JUN â Reader and Jun were together. and then they werenât, and thatâs where our story picks up as they are trying to find someone else to gel with romantically and sexually...and failing miserably at that endeavor. so they find their way back to each other. but! in a rlly toxic kind of way ://
SOONYOUNG â so!!! I spent weeks outlining a whole 5 to 7 chapter fic called Absolutely Smitten in which Soonyoung and Reader are young high school teachers, Soonyoung is a dance coach and Reader teaches EnglishâŠbut I think the meticulous planning, which was needed!!!, killed off my interest in writing it. temporarily. but it has been a real labor of love and one day soon Iâll bring it back to life!!! also this fic I planned where heâs a drug dealer and his special stuff is called Hoshi and he gets Reader into a bad crowd and itâs a whole...thing...itâs actually rlly dark :)))
WONWOO â awhile back somebody requested âfinding the perfect love but also having to separate because of itâ and it went along with this soulmate AU that I had thought of, and that Iâve written this perfect perfect perfect end to. the goal is to make everyone cry when they read it. when I post it about thirty years from now!!!!!!!! itâll be part of a soulmate series Iâm doing for both SVT and BTS though
JIHOON â âŠ..anâŠepilogue to Customer Satisfaction :)
MINGYU â I said this before but Customer Satisfaction is part of something I called the â9to5!seriesâ in which Seventeen/sometimes Reader are inserted into retail types of jobs AND IâM doing one where Mingyu is the cute pizza delivery guy who Reader canât help but be infatuated (obsessed) with but likeâŠwho could help it
HANSOL â another part of the soulmate series in which Hansol is Readerâs soulmate BUT! he dies before they can meet in real life, and then they start meeting and fall in love only in Readerâs dreams⊠:)
CHAN â Iâll reiterate it was supposed to be for his birthday!!! fluff in which grump Chan goes to the fair with the guys and *surprise* he meets The One there and spends the rest of the night trying to impress themÂ
SERIES??? I FEEL THESE SHOULD BE MENTIONED
OK BEAR WITH ME HERE!!!
the mysterious, elusive 9to5!series. everyoneâs jobs are planned! i wonât say whoâs what but here are some workplaces to look forward to: ice cream parlor, movie theater, flower shop, pet store, etc.
what I have affectionately titled BASEBALL!BANGTAN, obviously itâs BTS exclusive and you know what?? maybe nobody wants this but I, for one, love baseball and have put A LOT OF thought into these. every memberâs story is a part of the same linear timeline in one season but with different Readers, of course. also the team is called the Bangtan Bombers. theyâll be written and posted in chronological order starting with Jin whose main story takes place in the pre-season and ending with Jungkook whose main story takes place at the end of the post-season. Iâve meticulously thought out and planned who plays what position and exactly what kind of player theyâd be and idk. another real labor of love
THE SOULMATE SERIES!!! I have a list of soulmate AUâs but none of them are assigned and soulmate AUâs are the air that I breathe so I need this to be perfectly planned and executedâŠso itâll take awhile
last but not least, Iâll write a bunch of domestic drabbles that Iâve already planned and assigned ppl for. theyâll be short and I should be able to write and post a bunch of those in no time :)
#anon#ask#bts fanfic#seventeen fanfic#bts scenarios#seventeen scenarios#kpop scenarios#SRRY FOR TAGS!!!! GOODBYE

12/10
officially got rejected today. laid in bed finishing my 4740 project and my other group members donât even know the amount of effort I put in. itâs fine though. they didnât purposefully slack off or anything. I just have unusually high standards I suppose and canât function in groups.
other news. today was the segc social. maya definitely likes keith. hahahahahahaa she literally got up halfway through and went to sit on the other side of the table to be next to him. this girl jesus. I sat next to her bc there was only one seat left and was like oh youâre maya right. which I only know from stalking her fb. and she was like yeah and youâre lucy right and went back to talking to mahdia lmao. I talked to chloe and sergio and xavier though. and it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. we were talking so much that everyone else on the other side finished their food and we werenât done at all. also when we were ordering it skipped all the way down to me without me knowing. and I was like wait what. and then the waitress came down and sergio was like wait what. and then spent so long picking his dinner. like she went and got everyone elseâs. and came back and he still wasnât ready. and then collected everyoneâs menus and he finally settled on something. and when chloe came in the waitress came back and asked her. and she was also panicked. idk I think itâs funny how we all went through that. on our way out keith was like I felt so far away from you guys. directed mainly at xavier. and I was like you missed our game.
secret santa was also really cute. we went around and said clues for what we bought and I guessed phyllis bc she said decor. she got me the hanging picture thing. and a plant. when everyone went around via was like oh youâre holding the present in your hand. and phyllis was like no this plant is for me. but then she was like plot twist! this is for you. and I was the surprised pikachu meme. it was so cute. ahhhhhh. also like mahdia knew what I got her and I knew what phyllis got me bc we all made wishlists. but wow I did not expect to be so happy opening it. and I talked to mahdia after and she was so happy to get my gift too. gifts are so nice. so weird
when we were walking after dinner the group got split up. bc half of us was waiting for xavier. we saw a party bus on the way and jokingly said we should just say it was ours and get on. but then xavier was like no wait lemme ask if we can take a pic inside. and we did lmao. and then I was talking to keith going upstairs and I told him he missed it. he was wearing his athletic jacket from high school and idk if it was his jacket or what but his shoulders looked hella good today. fuuuuck. maybe I never paid attention but also maybe it was the jacket. when thomas said his gift was $40 and keith and I both mouthed 40 and looked at each other. I went to the bathroom and opened the door to him. lmao Iâm lame but at least I know it.
we played the voting game and I got first in line for hell. which I love. lucy is short for lucifer. also people said I was mysterious. also that I would be from the future. also dhanush was like the funny thing is and said a spiel about trivia and then I was like wow that was so funny sarcastically and everyone laughed. making fun on dhanush is easy. damn I miss our invested team. on our way out dhanush was like lucy is wrecking me today but I know she has a soft spot for me. which is true in a way. like I wouldnât make fun of him if I didnât know him enough. but then I said sungjae was my favorite. heâs so unproblematic and soft.
Iâm really glad I went today. sergio is cool. I wanna hang out with him more. chloe is cool too. I wanna be friends with them and xavier and sungjae and phyllis and thomas. heâs so funny. and keith oops. although I feel like I could actually really like phyllis and thomas and sergio. there was a post semester survey and I think I answered those three for the people I wanna get to know better. I didnât put keith bc I didnât wanna expose myself even though only the presidents probably see the survey. but now I genuinely have those three as my answers. and tbh anyone there today was chill. like why did I waste so much time. I couldâve like tried talking to people more. watch me next semester though forget this feeling. and have that irrational anxiety around these people again.
Iâm happy I went. Iâm happy I stayed even when a huge group of people left after secret santa. accidentally fell asleep and woke up at 6:40 and then stayed in bed for another 10 minutes debating if I should just not go. bc getting ready and walking would take 30 min and sometimes showing up late sucks more than not going at all. but I did it. I took a bus and was only 15 minutes late. I think it was a blessing in disguise when there was only one seat left and it was at xavierâs end. even though initially I was like oh keith is on the complete other end of the table. like in my row and furthest from me where I couldnât even glance at him if I wanted to since he was too far to talk to. but itâs ok. sergio and chloe and xavier made up for it.
when we were leaving xavier was like lucy you should talk more during g-body. aw. I will try I guess. I hope so. also I need to go to secon next sem. bc I definitely missed out on bonding last year bc I didnât go.
yesterday keith and I talked before class. and it was fun. he asked about my project and I asked about his. he said that apparently his guy thought they werenât working on the project and sent an email like yeah this semester was a failure. apparently a bit nicer but still. I thought it was mean. and I asked him about his finals. and then this dude like heard him talking about public finance and interrupted. and then he was like wait sorry what was your question. cutie. I love when he turns around to talk to me. bc he could just talk to his friend sitting next to him but he turns around and talks to me and includes me in the conversation sometimes even when I donât even really know his friend. he asked me what Iâm doing next summer. and oof. I was like donât ask me that question. he asked me if I was doing anything over break. heâs going to florida to visit family. Iâm getting my wisdom teeth out. he did it summer after freshman year. his friend is gonna be in sab fran. I said I had family there and visited last summer. we talked about the masters presentations. and I said one of them was sloppy and kind of annoying. I asked him when his last day was. his last final might be the 17th but I donât remember. I said mine was the 16th but Iâm leaving the 21st. and he was like oh thatâll be a chill few days then. but Iâm picking up shifts for work. oh thatâll be a profitable few days then. I asked if he was gonna be on my project team next sem. and he was like will you have a good project. but it would be fun. more fun than the other ones. I do not know for sure if I heard the last part right but if he did. damn son
also I felt bad when I walked in late and they were like lucy! and I saw keith turn a little to wave at me but I was like too anxious and trying to figure out where to go and didnât like say hi to him. sad. I asked him yesterday if he was going today. he said he was going to dinner but had to leave kinda early afterwards. he said he wanted to sleep. which sad. why didnât he stay longer. I wish he was there for the voting game.
hahahaha last semester I wanted to ask keith to go to an apo fellowship with me. but I didnât wanna expose myself. but itâs the end of the semester again and I wanna hang out with him again. oof this time I donât even have anything to ask him to do with me. I just wanna hang out and eat lunch or something

gorgeous beards of bhu
A Sterek ficlet inspired by all those accounts like âHumans of New Yorkâ and âDogs of Instagram.â Also partially by this pic of Tyler Hoechlin. ~2k words, rated T.
Now also on AO3!
There are a lot of reasons Stiles is pretty sure Erica is his platonic soulmate. Her brilliant innuendos. Her epic dance moves. Her stubborn refusal to back down from things that scare her. The fact that her comic book collection is even bigger than Stilesâ. And, of course, her @gorgeousbeards_of_bhu instagram account.
Beacon Hills University has about two thousand students, making it just big enough that Stiles doesnât know everyone, or even know of everyone. Itâs also, for some reason, the kind of school that attracts a lot of hipster and mountain man types, maybe because itâs California. That makes it a rich hunting ground for Erica and her camera. She manages to post a new âgorgeous beardâ every other day or so.
Theyâre always fun pictures with a little snippet of an interview quoted underneath, and itâs weirdly addictive to scroll through it in the mornings while Stiles is waiting in line for coffee. By this point, after almost a whole semester of following her account, Stiles has seen guys with banjos and beards down to their knees, guys with flowers woven into their beards, guys with Tarzan-esque flowing locks, even some nonbinary bearded people. Then, of course, there are the many hipsters and guys in plaid shirts who look more like lumberjacks than college students.
Stiles asks Erica one time if sheâll feature him on her instagram if he grows a beard. Thatâs how he finds out she has standards.
âI remember your facial hair from senior year of high school, and no I will not,â she says, shuddering. âTake it from me, you look much better as a boy band twink than a sketchy long-haul trucker.â
Sheâs a true friend.
*
Then thereâs the day she posts a picture of The Guy. His face is spattered with what looks suspiciously like blood, and there are a bunch of jagged rips in his shirt, like he got into a fight with something with claws.
Even like that, heâs still one of the hottest people Stiles has ever seen. Heâs staring challengingly into the camera with gorgeous green-grey eyes and glorious eyebrows of sarcasm. His facial hair looks like itâs been groomed by the gods. His arm muscles have Stiles thinking about all the creative and athletic sex they could probably have without this guy even breaking a sweat.
The caption reads, âI swear I didnât just come from murdering someone. I was a werewolf in my friend Kiraâs horror photo shoot.â
Stiles spits out his coffee, shocked into laughter, and thatâs it. Heâs intrigued. More than intrigued. Infatuated. Obsessed enough to comb through the entire Gorgeous Beards of BHU archives to see if there are any more pictures of this guy. Sometimes Erica will interview the same person twice if itâs been a while.
Not this time, though, apparently.
So he sneaks into Ericaâs Queering the Renaissance class. (He has copies of all his friendsâ schedules in his phone for just this kind of emergency situation. He also has copies of all their room keys, but thatâs another story.)
Sheâs sitting in the back row, conveniently right by the door. He slips into the empty desk beside her and winks when she does a double-take at the sight of him.
âWhat theâ Youâre not in this class.â
âNope,â Stiles agrees in a whisper. He pulls out his phone. âI have an important question.â
âMore important than whether Shakespeare was bisexual?â
âWhat?â Stiles glances around, remembers where they are. âOh. No, as interesting as that sounds, this is definitely more pressing.â He slides his phone onto her desk. âWho is this guy? I hope heâs bisexual, because Iâm about to ask him out.â
Erica snorts. âWish I could help you there, but unfortunately I donât know.â
âNooo, what do you mean you donât know? You took his photo! Donât you always talk to them first and ask permission and stuff?â
âYeah, of course, but⊠he wasnât that chatty. He was very suspicious and loom-y, and he only agreed to a photo after I explained about my project. Also, he was in a hurry to get home and change into less murder-y clothes.â
âUnderstandable.â
Erica nods. âYeah. So, we didnât exactly get around to introductions.â
âFuck,â Stiles says, with feeling.
âHey,â Erica sighs, âdonât look at me like that. I swear your sad puppy eyes are almost as bad as Scottâs. Listen, Iâll let you make a post on my instagram. You can ask if anyone knows who he is. Just⊠donât abuse this, okay? No posting weird memes or anything.â
Stiles presses an offended hand to his chest. âWho, me? Would I stoop to such levels?â
Erica just rolls her eyes affectionately and scribbles down her instagram password.
*
âHey Derek,â Isaac says, sidling up to Derekâs table at the library. He has this gleam in his eyes like heâs about to make fun of Derek for something.
Derek immediately tenses up.
Isaac slowly, dramatically pulls his phone out of his pocket. âSo I was on instagram today.â
Oh no. âYou saw my picture on that account about the âgorgeous beards,ââ Derek guesses. He can feel himself blushing.
Isaacâs smirk grows wider. âYeah, and that was great, but... Â Have you been on there since?â
âShe only took one picture of me,â Derek says, confused.
âNo, I mean, have you checked the account since then?â
âIâve never seen it. I didnât even look at it when she posted my picture.â Why would he? He already knows what he looks like.
âOh man. Then I get to be the one to tell you.â Isaac pokes at his phone for a second and then gleefully slaps it down on the table. âYou have an admirer.â
For a second Derek is confused. Isaac has pulled up the Gorgeous Beards of BHU instagram, but the photo heâs selected is a selfie of a guy without a beard. He doesnât even look capable of growing one. He looks like he should be in high school, or maybe singing alongside One Direction.
âOkay? Am I supposed to know who this is?â
âRead the caption.â
Thatâs when Derek understands why Isaac is biting back laughter.
âHI THERE,â it reads. âSo I donât have a gorgeous beard but I do have a need. A burning need. To ask out the hot guy covered in blood from this morningâs post. Dude, if youâre reading this and you wanna give me a shot, donât leave me hanging. Just name the time and the place and Iâm there. --Stiles ;)â Under it is a link to what is presumably the guyâs instagram account.
âEveryone on campus is talking about it,â Isaac says over Derekâs shoulder. âA lot of people seem to think itâs romantic.â
âItâs bizarre,â Derek retorts. âHe doesnât even know me, and Iâve definitely never seen him before.â
Isaac leans his elbows on the table. âDerek, people ask out people they donât know all the time. Itâs how you get to know someone. So,â Isaac prods Derekâs shoulder, âare you going to say yes?â
Derek scoffs. âObviously not. I donât date, you know that.â At least not since the disaster that was Kate, and then the disaster that was Jennifer. Heâs had enough of all his girlfriends turning out to be homicidal. âAnd even if I did, I definitely wouldnât pick some stranger off the internet.â
Only, heâs kind of tempted.
Or... curious, at least.
Curious enough that when heâs alone in his apartment later that night, heâs still thinking about it. He glances around surreptitiously, just in case Isaac has come in while he wasnât looking, and then he pulls up Gorgeous Beards of BHU on his laptop.
Itâs a surprisingly popular account; at least three quarters of everyone at this school must be following it. The photo of Stiles is still at the top of the feed, right next to the one of Derek, which has already gotten over five hundred likes and almost a hundred comments. That seems like a bafflingly high number, considering that Derek only has like three friends at this school. Who are all these people?
Derek hesitates, then clicks on Stilesâ photo (which has close to seven hundred likes, what the fuck) and finds the linked username, @fyeahstilinski.
He loses track of time a little after that, just scrolling through months of this guyâs life. Thereâs just something about him. He looks like he has a lot of fun with life, always out and about and doing stuff⊠unlike Derek, who practically has to be bribed to leave his apartment. Stiles obviously has a lot of friends, and he smiles a lot, big genuine grins that do things to Derekâs insides, and heâs so witty and sarcastic whenever he captions a photo or talks to people in the comments. He seems like a rare mix of goofball friend and cunning prankster asshole, and⊠Yeah. Derek is kind of into it.
Derek doesnât like most people, but he thinks he would like Stiles.
He navigates back to Gorgeous Beards of BHU. Stilesâ photo is up to eight hundred likes now. The comments section is overflowing with heart-eyes emojis and people urging him to give Stiles a chance. No one seems to know who Derek actually is. They keep referring to him as âGorgeous Beard Guy.â Itâs not exactly how Derek wanted to be known around campus, but he supposes there are worse reputations to have.
He hesitates, mouse hovering over the âSign upâ button. If he did want to reply to Stilesâ message, he would need to make an instagram account.
Stilesâ photo stares back at him, daring him to make a move.
He clicks the link.
*
Stiles has just stuffed a huge forkful of Chinese takeout into his mouth when Erica shoves her phone in his face and says, âGorgeous Beard Guyâs name is Derek!â
Stiles promptly chokes on his noodles and nearly falls off Ericaâs kitchen counter in his haste to grab the phone from her and see for himself. Meanwhile, Scott, whoâs sitting on Stilesâ other side, jostles his shoulder, trying to see it, too.
Itâs a new photo of Gorgeous Beard Guy, uploaded by user @derekhale. Itâs obviously a selfie, taken in what looks like one of the student apartments. Derek is thankfully free of fake blood and torn clothing this time. Heâs dressed instead in a soft-looking green henley that brings out the paler green in his eyes and gives Stiles the strong urge to reach through the screen and snuggle him. Thereâs something endearing, too, about the way heâs smiling at the camera, all awkward and dorky and self-conscious like heâs not used to taking selfies, and Stiles finds himself grinning.
Derek has captioned it, âTo @fyeahstilinski: Iâll be outside the library at 7 PM tonight. Meet you there?â
âHell yeah, he said yes!â Stiles shouts, accidentally knocking over his takeout with his fist-pump. âWait. What time is it now?â
Scott glances at his watch. âUh, bro, I donât think youâre going to make it.â
âItâs 6:54,â Erica says. âHe posted this like five hours ago.â
âFuck,â Stiles breathes, scrambling to his feet. âI canât get all the way to the other side of campus in six minutes.â
Shit. Derek is going to be waiting for him on the steps of the library, all heartbreakingly hopeful and first-date nervous, and 7 oâclock is going to come and go and Stiles isnât going to be there, and Derek is going to think⊠what? That Stiles changed his mind? That Stiles isnât that interested after all? Maybe even that this was all some kind of prank, nothing more than a mean joke? Stiles canât do that to him.
âTake my bike,â Scott offers. âThen you wonât be that late. I bet heâll wait for you.â
So Stiles takes the bike and rides like the wind.
Well, okay, attempts to ride like the wind, but in reality is kind of wobbly; heâs never been that good at things requiring any sense of balance, poise, or grace. Still, he gets there, and thatâs the important thing.
He drops the bike on the ground and looks around.
Itâs 7:13, and dark out, and the plaza in front of the library is totally empty.
Stilesâ shoulders slump. Heâs too late. Of course Gorgeous Beard Guy didnât wait. Stiles was lucky he got this chance at all, and now heâs blown it.
Then he sees it. A faint movement to his left, in the shadows by the bike rack. Stiles turns, and itâs him. Derek. Looking shy but determined, and so handsome it makes Stiles lose his breath a little.
Stiles smiles and takes a tentative step toward him. âUh, wow. Hi.â
Derek smiles back, and a little of the tension goes out of his shoulders. âHi.â
*
The next day, Gorgeous Beards of BHU posts a new photo. In it, Stiles and Derek are standing together on the steps of the library, holding hands. Stiles is giving the camera an enthusiastic thumbs up. Derek has his head turned, gazing at Stiles with quiet, awed affection.
Itâs captioned, âThis is our second date. We met here last night. So far itâs going well. Also, if you were wondering, Derekâs beard is just as gorgeous in person.â
Within hours itâs the most popular photo Gorgeous Beards of BHU has ever posted.
Years later, it will be the photo Stiles and Derek use on their wedding invitations.

Moments I have witnessed intense KnB fans in Japan
Upon request hereâs my post of personal experiences Iâve seen or been in that show how Japanese KnB (mainly Akashi) fans are that you probably wonât see too often back in your home country. *If you are one of these fans, Iâm not saying stop doing it or you shouldnât do it, but just be responsible and donât neglect other priorities and donât inconvenience others...and be reasonable. Also these are things Iâm not used to seeing so for me itâs quite eyebrow-raising. Thanks.Â
Fans with multiple and intense ita-bags (bags with character merch usually dedicated to 1-2 characters)
Many people cover every inch of their bags with badges/straps of a character and Iâve seen some intense Akashi ones. Also they many have duplicates of the same badges and Iâve seen people who have like THREE bags they take to J-world or an event. *(I also have my own itabag and I know other Tumblr users have their own as well. And I can say, those are normal and I wouldnât classify them as the âcrazyâ bags Iâve seen)
Fangirl logic in Japan as said by someone in an interview: The more you spend on rare merch of a character you like the more you love them, or something. Hence why girls collect 50 duplicates or more
Girl spending over $600 on Akashi Newstyle badges
Last year they had NewStyle badges which were from a lottery/kuji at certain arcades. You could choose who you wanted so buy the time I got up to try all the Akashi ones were gone. The Akashi badges in particular were VERY expensive on auction. A two-badge set went on average at the time like $60. It wouldâve been cheaper but there was this ONE girl (same girl because the username was the same) who kept BUYING THEM ALL OR WINNING ALL THE AUCTIONS. I had the auction pages saved (since I was keeping an eye on them while I was bidding) and I calculated the total of the ones she won and it went over $600....
I eventually got my own set for $90........
Also pretty sure Iâve seen the acutal girl because she had like 40 New Style badges on her bag and these werenât common badges compared to the usual KnB ones from J-World......she also had 3 intense Akashi bags and I see her frequently..
Fans spending TONS of money to get a high rank in Cross Colors.
There is no hack or cheat people literally do spend hundreds of dollars to get a high rank for a 5 star Avatar in Cross Colors. Iâve seen the same people try one event after another so itâs not like they save up for months and then go all out. Fans do this for other game apps too like Ensemble Stars.Â
Girl hyperventilating at the site of an Akashi lifesize cardboard cutout (Iâm not exaggerating, she was holding up the line to take pictures)
Girl hugging a Kuroko cutout as if she was embracing him romantically and looking into each otherâs eyes. (not the typical let me take a picture with him because I can sort of thing)
Fans being over the top seeing a guy in an Akashi mask/costume at J-World.
I just wanna say first of all, even his hands are gloved and since itâs a mask, he canât talk. Think of it like Mickey at Disneyland or any other mascot
Iâve seen a girl actually trying to strike a conversation with him and all he could do was stare back and nod and gesture her to move on because she was holding up the line.
Iâve seen another girl jumping up and down in front of him showing off how she got the Akashi movie clearfile. Again not much of a reaction from him.Â
When I got a picture with him, there were girls peeping at him from behind the backdrop like some stalkers.....it was really unsettling....
When he walks around J-World, he ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL has a herd of fangirls following him trying to take pictures of him, and I know some of those girls are J-World regulars and already have a pic with him. One time the guy was going back to the staff area but they had to do one last round of pictures because the girls wouldât leave him alone.Â
This is probably a thing in multiple fandoms and even back at home but KnB stageplay tickets selling out within 10 min. And a lot of those tickets were bought merely to just be resold at a much higher price. And that was just for the first play.
People going to Jump Festa and sleeping overnight in line when youâre not supposed to but guess the staff allowed it anyway....I went at 3:30am so I could get a shot at the limited KnB Merch and I barely got them...
Iâll also add people buying KnB merch not even for themselves but for the sake of selling. How do I know? For example the Oreshi Puni Puni doll is limited to only two per customer and then I see on auction the same day one seller selling two of them. Unless they asked their friend to pick it up too so they could sell for money but I feel thatâs still pretty bad and unfair to those who actually wanted it.Also seen people sell like 40 KnB Jump Festa keychains...which by the way sold out. Â
GIrls (specifically girls) shove you and knock you over to get in line for the goods even when staff members are there demanding you line up calmly and no running. I had one girl fully jab me in my arm with her shoulder to get ahead of me.Â
Last yearâs Jump Festa had an exclusive Akashi wall scroll that sold out in less than 30 min despite the limit they set per person. The original price was about $32. I found one on auction for $100 and bought it right away. Sad thing is, that was the cheapest. Later when everyone else decided to put their own scrolls up for auction they went super high like $300-500 if I remember. I remember one auction it was a fight between three buyers and then it got down to two buyers and they kept outbidding each other and the auction got extended for 2 extra hours because they wouldnât stop bidding. (Yahoo auctions only end if there are no bids in the last 5 min otherwise they automatically get extended for another 10 min). Ending price was at almost $700, or if not it WAS $700 depending on the currency exchagne rate.Â
Girls trying to compete with you on how much goods you have
My friends and I were at J-World just chilling at a table resting and these two Japanese girls walk by and one of them points at my Akashi bag and shows her friend. They werenât in my line of sight but my friends who could see them from our table said that the other girl sat down and started pulling out ALL of her Easter Akashi merch ranging from badges, straps, putting on her decked out Easter Akashi lanyard, and displaying them on their table. I was just sitting there talking and my bag was just casually on a chair because we had space for it....I wasnât trying to start anything. And it was very clear that she had more merch than me anyway so I donât get why it was necessary to show that she is clearly the âwinner.âÂ
Jealous fans who wonât stop staring at you
Example of this was when my friend and I were at a KnB Cafe. There was a mini game the staff did halfway through where you try to match the same picture as them and if youâre in the top 5 (I think) you get a special sparkly holograph coaster of a random character. My friend managed to be one of the lucky ones but the coaster you get is random. My friend luckily drew the capsule that had the Akashi coaster so she gave it to me. Once someone picks that capsule the staff doesnât put it back in the box so in other words no other winner can get an Akashi coaster. One Akashi fan across the room kept creepily staring at me after that because her friend also won a coaster but because the staff came to us first, her friend had zero chance of getting Akashi. That girl kept staring at me for awhile and it was quite unsettling....
Fans declaring they love Akashi more than anyone else
I actually saw someoneâs profile on Cross Colors that said that....
Last year for Valentineâs, the Jump Store had a lottery campaign where if you tweeted a picture of a Valentineâs Card you got from them and tagged it with whatever hashtag it was, then you can be entered for a KnB poster lottery of your choice. One girl literally made an account just for this on twitter and spammed every hour a post so she could try to get the Akashi poster. Now thatâs not the worst part. Each post had some sort of sentence of her declaring her love for Akashi and how she loved him more than anyone else in the world (she actually said âworldâ). How she only thought of him ever since she âmetâ him 3 years ago. She even jokingly said as a reference to Akashiâs phrase, âIf I donât get that Akashi poster I wonât forgive you Jump Store lolâ at least I hope it was a joke.Â
If you just google image search 蔀ćžéšć± (Akashi room) you can see how dedicated some fans can be into decorating every inch of their room with Akashi merch....literally every inch....though Iâve seen rooms like that for other characters too and other series.Â
Youâd think fans would be happy that you like the same character as you right? Or everybody in Japan is nice? Well, sadly for Akashi fans thatâs not the case a lot of the time. When it comes to showing off merch on twitter fans seem pretty chill but when it comes to actually getting the goods and in person, well.....good luck....
So thatâs my report of personal experiences of crazy KnB fans within my 3 years of Japan. I really wished I was making these up but I donât think I ever could. Hereâs to hoping none of you guys have to experience these XD;
#kuroko no basuke#kuroko no basket#midori blahs#seriously the amount of money people spend on knb merch....#and I spend a lot myself but that's not even close to how much others spend#wow this was longer than i thought

Electric Island Festival Beach Clean up
The following is a true story:
On June 9, My friend hit me up and we made plans to kick it, since it felt like it had been ages from the last time we saw each other. We knew we had a lot to catch up on. Â We met on the beach with her bunny and we started talking about upcoming events and our endeavors.
Her: Are you going to Electric Island Festivalâ?
Me: No, I went a couple years ago. (June 26, 2015, Check out the third pic in my profile:)
Where Dj Koo, indeed was cool and let me dance on his stage for the last set. Thanks to my big sister who bought me the tickets just like she bought my ticket to Guam. That night was epic for me. I donât need another one. Theyâre not like Electric Daisy Carnivals, like the one I worked and partied at my hardest in Las Vegas. Also, Thanks to my middle sister who got me inside all three days for free.
Her: Bish, GO I got shrooms and wearing a giant bunny costume and going to be dazed in Lala land!
Me: GOING! OMG!
On June 11 at 08:02am, Allan Cadawas, Guamâs party central photographer of Hit Da Spot Hot Shots, posted on Facebook that at Pacific Star, there will be a Beach Cleanup Today at 5:30pm. Meet at Pacific Star Lobby, FREE EIF tickets and Merch will be handed to all participants who show up ON TIME! Â Only three people liked his post including myself and his self.
"I will see you there buddy ol pal!!! Lets make our island BEAUTIFUL!!! âĄâ, - Jacqueline Garay
Las Vegas taught me that not only is punctuality, crucial, it is still not adequate enough under professional standards. Rather than most people who would show up on time; I showed up two hours early with my associate, Karl Hype on purpose. This allows us time to meet the crew, hype their spirits up, network and promote each otherâs work. I walked away with ample free merchandise as opposed to everyone else. The public would be informed; one item due to limited supply. Instead, my gifts were handed to me with respect from Jia, the Festival Founder. I also purchased a mask from Karl Hype and promoted those with style as well. We both as professionals understood that people need to realize in order to jump start your day, bright and early and work towards finishing your day, strong! Â Do not sleep on it. I donât care if your from Guam and your on âGuam timeâ, which is just an excuse to be late to everything with no intention of working with haste. Simply, because you have lived on a beach your entire life so you are used to the setting of staying relaxed and taking things slow. Las Vegas, is nothing like that and neither are true hard workers. Â
Gym fanatics can all agree with this topic as well. The best time to hit the gym is four in the morning. If you want to get a full workout then you have to get into the habit of waking up to an early start! You wanna rock a hard ass body, well then face the music⊠the gym never closes and the work never stops⊠it only gets harder! You have to trust the long ass process. To my dismay, my post did not receive any shares at all, which is a method for EIF organizers to spread the good word while promoting one of their best projects. Ultimately, my friends chose not to get involved on this sweet deal. Emily Paulson, if your reading this; your baby is cute and your are allowed to be absent from this rigorous beach clean up. Although, your support was appreciated, because I know you fell in love with this island as I did.
Later on that day, Jia holds a competition to whoeverâs team picks up the most trash, will win something cool!
If you look at the EIF forum you will find the group pic of us standing next to the garbage we compiled together. This is how hard we all worked, separately.. but as one. Members of different parties all found a piece to a scattered portable charcoal grill and I was one of the last teams to arrive to home base⊠so as I walked up confidently, because I was holding onto two bags of trash; one bag was mine and the other was a friend that I had made that day whose bag had ripped. Solely, offered to carry it, because I love putting my muscles to work and mainly, because I had found the ash pan and drawer to the grill, so I had found something that could carry my load. Work smarter, not harder. That means after groups had already passed and picked up all the relic they could, our group still found some.. we could have only done that by going deeper into the jungle. Where no one sees the trash.  We also found a blanket and a used condom. If it wasnât for my small stature, standing tall at 4â11, we may have never been able to reach all that trash that we found, even though the other teams did admirable work. As I arrived, instead of being sad that we didnât win the VIP tickets.. I didnât even care, because I could see the entire grill right there in my face. We had successfully retrieved every single component to the grill and weâre finally going to throw away the relic for good! Here, I was cheesing and walking up to my pack, already believing, I had the biggest piece and was feeling like the muthafucking champion. Now, imagine my bliss when we took our group pic of all our hard work and look at my smile. Together, we had collected over 2200 pounds of trash. Amazing turnout for a local beach clean up along with EIFâs, non profit partners. I would love to share a special shoutout to everyone that participated and everyone that continues to support our mission to save the fishes! My island and my actual man who was at work were so proud!
On Saturday, June 16 from 7:00pm to 4:00am, the island of Guam was ready to rage. Guamâs international raceway is right behind my house. Big difference in comparison to Las Vegas and driving a 4 hour commute in traffic on a freeway, while in the dry heat of summer in a desert. Thank you, Angelic, my sweet angel and sister who drove me back and fourth three days in a row and I didnât even have to beg or ask her to. She is just a good person at heart. Always has been. In 2008, she was Vice President of Alumnae Affairs for Kappa Delta Chi Sorority, Inc. She had volunteered for her sorority and does not even like Electric Dance Music. Held no interest in watching TIesto or Avicii, when they played in Las Vegas. Her motive was to join a sorority that helped mankind, because it would help propel her career as a doctor and give her real life experience of helping men, women, children, and animals by any means necessary.
KDChi's official motto is Leading With Integrity, United Through Service - Kappa Delta Chi
That night, everything most ravers would have normally needed to plan out six months in advance, because they treat this festival as important as a wedding; worked out heavenly for another one of my spontaneous adventures.
I arrived at dusk and was dressed to impress.
I wanted to go weird this year for EIF and show off my buns! I'm talking about HAMBROS guys!! I'm proud to represent free publicity to a great establishment even if I'm no longer working with them. I have mad respect for the Founders, Steve Baek, Jason Na and Derrick Kim. As well as my other boss and General Manager, Brian Hayes, a local celebrity who never sleeps and understands, that dedicated drive fuels happiness! I held a close reletionship with my team and do believe with all my heart, that the Explosion in your mouth and their other trademarked hamburgers hold a bright future!
So I put my apron and cap on one last time and I wore a bunny head, because Iâm a beach bunny. Just as fast as a rabbit, I ran up and down the raceway like a child at a carnival and left my friends to catch up. Eventually, we all sat down and conversed about our lives. After, we decided to part ways and get weird. My friends were in a dance craze and I loved them for it! Good buds surrounding me and alcoholic beverages was flowing in their system so that their inhibitions could go running wild and free. If anyone knows me, you also well know that my ass had been turnt, still hadnât stopped and was just plain happy to be in the company of like minded friends all without having to be as drunk as Guamâs Club USA, mama-sans on a good Saturday.
POOF! I did my magic and left them in the crowd of the center stage to feel the love of coming as one in a large crowd that will soon become their friends too. Just elbow and mosh each other long enough. As for myself, I canât stay put in one spot for too long. A social butterfly needs to spread their wings in order to have a good time. The next move I made was so out of character, I could never have fathomed it. I ran to the food vendors and politely introduced myself and asked permission to use their gloves and a trash bag. I advised them we are all a team and if we want to earn and keep our A grade in the Food and Beverage industry, then we need to keep our area clean. I urged them to not help me pick up the trash, we can not afford our chefâs and waitresses hands getting dirty. Leave it to me and I will be running back here periodically to scour the floor. I did it, because I passed a trash can and saw plastic inside it when it was clearly labeled, Aluminum. This island was going to get clean and I was empowered by the beach clean up to do it all by myself. I had volunteered for clean ups in Las Vegas during my high school years when I had joined community services such as Student Organization of Latinos (SOL) and Key club which taught me a dynamic group with educated and driven individuals can make anything fun, especially cleaning up their community and feeling good about making a great change amongst new and like minded friends. Like a bunny, i hopped from food vendor to the next, then the alcoholic beverage vendors, soon after, the sound crew in the middle where people think its safe to leave unattended drinks near electrical maintenance. Three big trash bags later, I felt the need for a break and headed toward the main stage. Â Right away, I see one of Guamâs finest videographers, and proud to call my friend, Michael Mazzei, who was just enjoying another day in the office.
I donât ever fuck with security, because they hate girls like me. We slither and find our way backstage and eventually they may find us, but we continue to ignore them and still run amuck since I know they can not catch me. The DJâs posse by then is already feeling my vivacious energy and he is always the one who gives me permission to perform my magic in from of his audience.
I stayed on stage till dawn under the Electric Sky. I came, I saw, I danced, I cleaned and felt conquered all in one night. If one little brown girl could do so damn much in one night. Just imagine what your footprint could do if you helped to do your part and keep your island clean. This is a powerful message to all Civilians, Militants and Locals alike⊠Iâm a visitor⊠a tourist from LAS VEGAS. I have seen each and every one of you commit this sin to your island, whom I call my boyfriend. Your lucky my heart is kind. Normally, Latinaâs do not take too kindly to anyone disrespecting their King and kin. Â
âI love your energy! When you visit Tokyo, come see me so that I may show you around!â - Marimo Kusaka, Miss Universe Japan 2014
If you exude nothing, but positive energy and believe in pronoia with all of your heart, God will protect you and life will guide you into fearful scenarios, but the other side of the wall is so blissful and bright. You will not see it until you hop over that wall. Exactly, why immigrants travel with little to no money at all so that they may experience bliss when they havenât even seen a glimpse of it yet. Walk by faith, not by sight!
I understand that my sister and boyfriend may hate that I live my life in the moment and spontaneously never have a plan. As opposed to my girlfriends who love me for it, because they are too shy to let their own inhibitions shine. So, I let them live it out through me and my happiness spreads just like roaches do when you light up the room.
Moral of the story: Icing on the cake was I got to earn my ticket to EIF and I didnât have to pay for it, instead I got to do something I would have done over and over for F R E E which is clean up the beach, all day any day! #GUAMISMYBOYFRIEND. I do not preach it for no reason, I believe God put me here to make a difference, because his island sure as hell left a lasting impression on me. Shit does not happen by coincidence. Use every direction and obstacle thrown at you to surpass them and reach the center stage and dance your ass off! Do not let the big buff security or deep meek insecurities hold you back!
We don't just TURN UP we CLEAN UP; KEEPin the GUD Clean & Green EIF style! - Allan Cadawas
