"Jealous" - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 323 words
Regulus leaned in expectantly to kiss James, caressing his face with his hands softly, scared to break the precious smile on his lovingly gorgeous face.
Suddenly, without any warning, James pulled back with a weirdly nervous look on his face mixed with a strange expression of anger.
"Reg, I just, I have to know, have you ever, uh, kissed Barty by any chance?" James questioned awkwardly.
Regulus lowered his hands, completely confused by the quick change in the atmosphere without letting it show on his face. He took a short moment to compose himself lest he sounded hurt and probed the reason for this unnecessary pause that prevented him from kissing his boyfriend, "Why do you ask, James?"
"Well, nothing, really. It's just that Dorcas might have said something earlier today along those lines," James answered, sounding annoyed which was unusual for James. He's rarely annoyed unless it has something to do with Snape.
"Oh, did she? Do you believe her?" Regulus inquired, seeing how far James would be willing to take this.
"I don't. I just have to know. And I don't think Dorcas would lie. Besides, who would want to kiss someone like Barty?" James asked pointedly, scrunching his face in mild irritation.
Regulus realized the issue and decided to go straight for the prize, he asked smirking, "Are you jealous, James?"
"I'm not jealous, just curious." James declared in mock offence.
Regulus let it go, deciding that James could deny it all he wanted if that was what gave him peace.
Ten minutes later, they were right back where they started. Their lips met and James withdrew harsher this time. He got up from the sofa and distanced himself.
Without meeting Regulus' eyes, James growled, "I just need to know, Reg. Have you or have you not kissed Barty?"
Regulus burst into laughter. James looked at him in confusion. In between fits of laughter, Regulus exclaimed, "Salazar! You are jealous.”
#they talked abt it after regulus was done laughing#don't worry#James isn't the violent type#but barty might have been pranked severely a couple of days later#he's fine#regulus mocked james abt this forever tho#jegulus#starchaser#sunseeker#james potter#regulus black#barty crouch jr#jegulus microfic#jeggyverse microfic

Military Training
Taehoon's father skipped this one. By trying to assassinate someone from North Korea. And just like his father Hansu. Taehoon was made a way to skip the Military Training.
It was your turn to have a military training.
"Would you like me to help you skip this one Y/N?" Hansu asks you.
"No, I want to do this." You tell him. Weirdly enough all students who were approaching age would be nervous even scared to get this notice about joining the military service.
"That's odd most children would definitely say yes." Hansu says.
"Weird thing is. I can't skip it. My family has been in the military for decades and became well known soldiers. So every family memeber is required to train to produce more soldiers or even Generals."
"Oh is that so." He said.
"Yes, You don't have to worry about me. I've been trained before I would even Join the Military." You told Hansu.
"Ya trained before?" Taehoon asked.
"Yes, I did. I was trained by my Dad, my Mom and my Different Relatives who's in the Military." You told him as you were sipping a glass of water.
"How come ya don't fight often?" Taehoon asks.
"Well the more I fight, the more people would know me at the streets I can't cause a ruckus for myself. It'll make me a target at the service." You say.
After talking with Taehoon and his Father you went home.
It was a few days before oyur military service. And you said goodbye to the Hobin Company and to Taehoon.
"Why are ya saying goodbye?" He says
"I'm going for the service and we won't meet each other?" You told him.
Taehoon was carrying a bag. "I'm coming with you dipshit." He said as he took yours and carried it.
"But your dad went all the way to get you to skip this?" You tell him.
"He doesn't give two shits."
Taehoon in the Military. This man would be a major target.
- He has great appearance.
- Cocky attitude.
- He doesn't like to follow orders.
The one who's Teaching Taehoon would be angry at him. Most definitely.
His room mates would try and bully him but unfortunately Taehoon won.
He became the boss of his Area. And no one messed with him.
But they would try and set him up. Thankfully Taehoon's Father Hansu had a friend who was a soldier. With experience of training in the military.
He was lectured on how to survive the service before even entering.
Taehoon would make ways for you both to see each other. Even if it costs huge punishments.
Even though Taehoon's Instructor loathes him. Taehoon is the best one in the field when it comes to physical combat.
He stubbornly doesn't want to learn other martial arts. He said he'll use Taekwondo which he got mocked for.
But he humbled them.
When it was time that the service ended. The Instructor and his room mates. Were very happy never to see him again.
"That man is the devil" One says.
"I'm gonna get him back" Another says. They try. But Taehoon still wins in the end.

Still Subject to Change Chapter 5 (NEW)
——————————————————————————-
Hello everyone! i decided to repost arc 1 of SSTC
(the chapters were way too long and had a bunch of typos but hopefully this will make reading easier)
this Story contains Vore, Dont like dont read.
if there are still any grammatical errors i’m sorry.
——————————————————————————
As soon as I was in a stable sitting position Robin tried to climb on my leg only to be stopped by Rikaad who had grabbed his scruff.
“Don't randomly climb people, that's rude!”
Rikaad seemed to be an alright guy even if I did not know what to make of him.
On one hand he seemed not afraid to call just about anyone off should they do something wrong.
On the other hand, I couldn't really make sense of him.
I now knew that Robin liked me enough to not want me dead, and I realized that that was the first time in forever that someone had actually stood up for me which never happened before and felt weirdly fuzzy inside at that.
Arthur however definitely wanted me dead judging by the look in his eyes.
But I could not for the life of me figure out what Rikaad was thinking of me and it made me kind of nervous.
But before I could further dwell on it Arthur had walked over and went to face Rikaad whispering something to him I could barely hear.
“What are you doing? We are supposed to get rid of this thing! Have you forgotten? He kidnapped Robin for fucks sake! And now you just let him free? We are supposed to get rid of the Fae folk as per the king's orders!”
Wow i never thought someone could be this hateful to someone they didn't even know but apparently i was wrong, I just hoped that the others did not listen to him.
“Arthur i can understand that you are angry about this entire situation but i have to inform you that we are not in Kamerasca right now, so technically the laws don't apply here, and we can't do anything without provocation”
He stepped closer to Arthur gripping his lower arm gently.
“Just behave? it's going to be okay we can just ignore the Fae and go home, i'm certain he's not gonna go to Kamerasca ever again seeing as he'd be killed on sight if he got to close”
Arthur squirmed a bit in his grip and finally conceded.
“fine but only because he did not laugh at Robins spider thing and helped instead”
Speaking of Robin now that Rikaad’s attention was on Arthur he had resumed climbing my leg and was sitting on my knee now.
Looking at me he just pointed at them and shrugged.
“Arthur is still pissed about the whole thing but i promise he's not evil just very grumpy and unfriendly”
His attempt at reassuring me wasn't really working as Arthur kept looking at me like he wanted to jab my eyes out.
“Sure”
I really wasn't convinced but so far at least none of them actually hurt me more than a few scratches, not counting the Sedative bolt of course.
As both of the other young men came back over, Robin attempted to slide down my leg but ended up falling down from my knee and I moved on reflex catching him before he hit the ground.
Well this certainly gave me enough adrenaline to stave off the rest of the tranquiliser.
Slowly lowering him the rest of the way to the ground I saw that Arthur had run closer and upon seeing him in my hand had put his fingers onto the hilt of his sword staring at me with wide eyes.
Rikaad however was eerily calm and strolled over to Robin who was climbing off of my Palm and offered his hand to him to help him down
“Arthur do not be rude and put that sword away”
Arthur did so immediately.
It seemed that this Rikaad guy was the leader of the group, or at least Arthur did as he said.
“So now we all can go our separate ways and forget that this week ever happened right?”
Arthur seemed eager to leave which, honestly, I couldn't blame him for.
I had scared him the first time we met and basically kidnapped his friend so it was no wonder he had a disdain for me.
He came up to us and took Robin's arm, dragging him away from me a little.
An emotion I couldn't quite identify bloomed in my chest and I did my best to shove it down.
I would not be sad about Robin leaving! I barely knew him anyway so what would it matter if I was alone again? I was a loner before so I can be a loner again if I have to!
However as they went to leave they seemed to encounter a problem.
“Do any of you know the direction we have to go to get home?”
They all looked at each other confused at Robin's Question, seemingly not having thought about that beforehand.
“So you guys followed me without any plan??”
I couldn't really believe that anyone would be so stupid to follow a Giant of all things into the Silvervale forest which was known for its monsters.
“Well this is your fault! If you hadn't grabbed Robin we wouldn't even be here!
An angry looking Arthur yelled at me.
“My fault?? You're the one that dragged him into a Forest that was already known for being a deathtrap! You didn't have to go after me but you still did!”
I defended myself.
“This is definitely not my fault! You're the one that stole something! And it is my duty as guard to correct anything unjust!”
This guy made me angry, as if Guards ever did anything helpful to people they deem ‘lesser’.
“The only thing I took was a piece of bread because I did not want to starve! And save me the Guard duty stuff.
I know those guys just love beating up the poor people! I saw them kill an old fisherman and then throw his body into a crab container just cuz he told them to fuck off! Your precious Guard can rot in hell for all i care”
Arthur's face went red and warped into a Furious grimace.
“You know what? Fuck you! and Fuck all this! Im going to fuck your mom and give her a child she’ll actually love!”
At these words I felt my anger that already had been simmering a bit boil over again, I had never been insulted like this.
But before I could even move to do anything Rikaad crossed the short distance between them with a few steps and had slapped him across the face, startling me out of my anger.
“You do not take such words into your mouth ever again! If you have to resort to such foul language to win a battle you are absolutely no better than your opponent!”
“But-”
Arthur held his face where he had been slapped with one hand.
“No excuses! such language will not be tolerated, understood?”
“Understood”
Robin had hid behind me while all this transpired and only now dared to peek out again.
“So do we know where to go? Or not?”
He asked meekly, seemingly wanting this interaction to be over already.
Rikaad turned back to him while Arthur took some snow out of a shadowed area under a tree and cooled his face with it while walking a distance away out of sight.
“I'm afraid we don't but i'm sure we'll find a way back, don't worry this time we are three people so that should make it easier”
Seeing him stand next to Robin this close I noticed that he was almost an entire head taller than the Ginger boy.
“Only three? Not four?”
He glanced up at me but I waved him off.
It would be better if he went home, and i could not follow him, i was not allowed anywhere near Kamerasca at all so i'd be better if i just left.
“The patrols would kill me on sight its better i don't come with you”
“But-”
Whatever Robin had wanted to say was interrupted by a scream coming from somewhere behind the trees.
Before I could react Rikaad had already darted past me and Robin to the source of the sound, fingers ready at the hilt of the sword at his side.
“ARTHUR!”
Running after Rikaad and coming to a stop on another clearing i saw Arthur pinned beneath a Manticore, the weird mismatched lion body with scorpion tail and legs was as big as a horse and its stubby feline face was turned into a weird grimace that showed mandibles protruding from its gums, dripping with sickly gray saliva.
Rikaad tried to shoot it with the crossbow not daring to get closer, but the thick chitinous segments of its heinous form made the bolts ricochet off of it.
Not really knowing what to do I tried to remember everything I knew about Manticore but the only thing that came to mind by staring at its shiny carapace was a memory of a cat swiping at a normal scorpion.
I decided that since my brain would not supply anything better, to do just that and hope not to get stung.
So getting closer and avoiding making it sting or maul the trapped form of Arthur underneath it I crouched down, trying to aim for its side to smack it away from Arthur, who had started bleeding out of a wound inflicted by the thing's legs.
Hitting it square in the side as hard as I could and sending it flying against a tree I heard a sick thud and it stopped moving.
Leaving Rikaad to deal with Arthur i went over to the manticore planning on making sure it was dead.
Inspecting the twisted form of the monster I saw it still shallowly breathing.
Not knowing what else to do as weapons were too small for me I broke off a tree branch and Stabbed it through the abdomen between two of the chitinous segments, watching sickly bluish blood lazily flow out of the wound.
I tried my best not to throw up at the awful sight and sick smell.
Tossing the branch aside and turning back to the other two.
Arthur was half lying half sitting on the ground and holding his side which at least had stopped bleeding.
I might not like the guy very much but I still did not wish anyone death.
I was not sure if going over to them would be appreciated so I decided to head back to Robin who we had left behind some trees.
“Robin?”
He popped up from a bush scanning the area as if expecting more monsters.
“Donovan! Is everything okay? What happened? Is Arthur alright?”
Bending down and plucking him out of the bush I told him about what had happened.
“There was a Manticore but its dead now so don't worry, as for Arthur im not sure but Rikaad is with him”
Clinging to my fingers he tried to look between the trees to see where the other two were.
“Can you bring me to them?”
He asked and even if he could walk the short distance himself I brought him over.
Rikaad was bandaging a gash in Arthurs side where the Monster had slashed at him with its legs, Arthur's armor set neatly aside.
Arthur himself seemed to be okay and was complaining about getting bandages, insisting he was fine.
Seeing me come closer with Robin in my hands he paled a little but did not say anything.
“Arthur! Are you okay?”
Robin shouted, trying to climb down on me before I could set him on the ground, so lowering my hand he jumped off, stumbling for a second then running straight for Arthur.
But before he could tackle him in a hug he was stopped by Rikaad who put a hand on the smaller boy.
“Careful! I don't want this to start bleeding again so make sure you’re mindful about that okay?”
Robin nodded enthusiastically and went to sit at Arthurs side.
I debated if I should leave for good now that nobody's attention was on me before Rikaad winked me down to talk.
So, sitting on the ground once more a bit away from the Injured Arthur that was currently being fussed over by a very energetic Robin, I faced Rikaad not really knowing why he had wanted to speak to me again.
“I want to apologize for shooting you with the tranquiliser crossbow and also thank you for saving Arthur, even if he insulted you you still stepped up to help when i could not get close to the manticore so thank you for saving my friend”
Well this was not what i had expected but i guess it was appreciated.
“Uh well dying to one of those beasts would suck wouldn't it?”
I stammered out a bit dumbfounded, he had apologized for shooting me AND thanked me for helping Arthur, who was now trying to shove Robin off of himself.
But I still couldn't really place the guy, he was a bit unnerving regardless.
“I do have to ask though if you know the way back to Kamerasca as it seems none of us can remember the way”
I really wished I could answer that but as I had been intending on leaving the place so I didn't memorize the way I had taken.
“No idea sorry, but i've been just walking towards the mountains so maybe if you walk away from them you'll end up back in Kamerasca?”
He shook his head slowly.
“That's going to be dangerous if we don't know where we are going and i'm not sure if just walking away from the mountains won't lead us into even more dangerous areas”
“So what do you plan to do then?”
I asked him and he seemed to try and think of something.
“Would you help us? I know you have no reason to go back to a place that doesn't like you but i fear that these woods are not made for some small humans”
I knew doing this would be risky as it meant that I had to get close to Kamerasca again, but at the same time this was kind of my fault and i didn't think I could leave them to the forest’s whim at this point.
“I'll bring you close to it, but if i see any buildings i'm out”
This seemed like a reasonable solution so I would not have to be anywhere near Tunstead ever again.
Rikaad nodded at me curtly.
“Thank you, now let's get the other two”
He turned on the spot and walked back to Robin and Arthur.
What a weird guy I thought but brushed it off for now maybe he just had a strict parent or something.
Walking over to where the other two still sat on the ground I looked back at the mountain.
Well i could still go there at a later point if i wanted.
Robin perked up when he saw us come back, Arthur however looked mildly annoyed at the fact that he now had at least two flower crowns on his head made from dandelions.
“The weird plant juice is making my hair sticky”
He complained at Robin who just laughed and stuck his tongue out at him.
Arthur then turned to face Rikaad.
“So what do we do now? Which way do we need to take to go home?”
Rikaad pointed at me.
“He said we had to go away from the mountain to get back but i'm not sure if we won't end up in even more danger this way, so i asked him to tag a long for a bit”
A huge smile appeared on Robin's face while Arthur clenched his jaw but didn't object to it even if he still looked at me with a death glare.
“As long as we get home i guess”
He slowly stood up mindful about his injury.
Robin walked up to him offering a hand.
“I'm fine just a small cut”
That did not look like a ‘small cut’ i thought, but it didn't look all that bad either.
“So what direction do we need to go now?”
Arthur seemed still a bit uneasy about the entire manticore thing, eyes occasionally glancing at the corpse.
“Away from the mountains, we have been walking towards them the entire time, so if we walk with them at our backs we should find home in no time”
Motioning for all of us to follow he started walking Arthur stumbled after him and Robin jumped up to go after them.
Lagging behind a few seconds I also started walking with them.
I soon realized that this was Slow, maybe not for a human but I was a Giant now which meant I had way longer legs than them.
Having to stop all the time to not just step over them was rather annoying.
Robin seemed to notice and motioned to talk to all of us.
“We are not as fast as you, Maybe it would be faster if you pick us up?”
At this proposal Arthur paled once again and even Rikaad seemed a bit uneasy.
“I don't think i want to do that, honestly i’d rather not aggravate the cut on my side by being grabbed so let's not?”
He seemed nervous and I could understand that, After all, our first encounter did not go well.
Robin however immediately walked up to me and put his arms over his head in what I could only link to a child asking to be picked up.
I decided that grabbing was off the table as I was pretty sure if I did that Arthur would stab me, so instead I put my hand on the Ground for Robin to climb on.
He did so with no hesitation sitting down in my palm while Arthur glared at me and Rikaad just watched with those unnerving eyes of his.
I could just not tell what he was thinking, which at the moment was scarier than any monsters to me.
Standing up again we resumed walking, still at a stupidly slow pace to me but forward nonetheless.
Carefully cupping my hands to my chest and slowly dragging my feet over the floor I went after the two that had decided to walk themselves.
It was really boring to slowly drag myself after them, and also awkwardly silent.
It took a good hour until someone said something again.
“I think we should look for a camping spot before it gets dark”
Rikaad was the one to break the silence, and looking up I did indeed see that the sun was way lower than before.
I wondered how long I was out cold from the tranquiliser as it was not even midday when I got shot with it.
“How long was I out for? That Tranquiliser must be one hell of a drug to put me out for hours”
Rikaad was once again the one to talk
“About four hours but i might be off”
Four hours huh, well that was a good chunk of the day wasted just lying on the forest floor.
Speaking of the forest floor, it seemed we had to make some room between trees as we could not find any more open areas.
Setting Robin down and shoving an uprooted tree away, I sat down while the smaller Humans gathered firewood.
Looking up at the sky and watching it change color till they managed to get a fire going.
I flinched when I heard the crossbow go off again but I wasn't the one that got shot, I realized quickly as a dead bird fell on top of me.
“What the fuck”
Plucking the carcass from my shoulder and holding it into the fading sunlight I saw that it was a white bird with grayish mottled wings.
Looking down I saw Robin trying not to laugh and Rikaad looking still as stone faced as ever, Arthur looked at me with shock probably expecting me to do something bad.
Chucking the dead Bird at Rikaad who expertly catched it, I leaned against a tree which creaked a bit under my weight.
I'd be insulted by this if I wasn't a giant now.
“You're a good shot but please don't drop dead birds on me”
Something that I thought was the smallest hint of a smile appeared on his lips but as soon as I saw it it was gone again.
“I will try my best”
He handed the carcass over to Robin who set about preparing the bird by plucking out all feathers and carving the guts out.
All three of them looked tired but I was still wide awake, probably because I spent four hours unconscious in the middle of the day.
I wondered if i could sleep tonight at all or if my sleep schedule was fucked now.
Deciding not to worry about it now I instead watched what the smaller men were up to.
Robin was cooking the bird Rikaad had shot, Rikaad himself was fiddling with the crossbow, apparently fine tuning it.
Arthur was using a whetstone to sharpen his blade, the rhythmic shrrrap shrrrap providing a constant background noise.
He occasionally glanced up at me but when he saw that I was looking at him he turned his head down again very fast.
The smell of the cooking Bird was delicious but I still did not feel hungry.
I decided that since the bird was too small to be of any use to me that I would not ask for a piece of it.
Instead I looked at the cursed Bracelet a bit more.
It was a grayish pale metal but not iron as iron would sometimes give me a rash when I was exposed to it too long.
Silver maybe? But silver did not conduct magic as far as I was aware.
So whatever the pale metal part was it could not be either of those.
The other parts however seemed to be made of Bronze and gold with the Bronze forming a sort of swirling pattern.
It had various green gems inlaid, none of which I recognized.
“What are you looking at?”
The Question put me out of my trance and I looked down to see who had asked me that.
Robin was staring up at me holding what appeared to be a cooked bird leg and a piece of its wing.
“I'm just inspecting this Cursed thing, don't worry i'm not gonna mess with it”
I tapped the Bracelet to show what I meant before putting my arm down again.
“Aha”
He looked at the meat in his hands and then back at me.
“Id share with you if you want”
While it was nice of him to offer i knew that it was not enough for me even if he had offered me the entire bird, so i winked him off.
“Keep it, that's not enough for me anyway so no need for me to take yours”
“If you're sure”
He sat down on the Ground where he was and started biting chunks of flesh out of the leg.
I noticed that both Rikaad and Arthur were also staring at me.
Did they expect me to do something? I knew that Robin hadn't told them about me being able to eat people, but it still seemed like they were waiting for me to attempt to do so.
Well given the amount of horror stories about Giants and all sorts of big creatures it was no surprise.
It still stung a little but I guessed that there was no way for me to prove that I wasn't a monster.
I just hoped that we found our way back to Kamerasca so I could leave and deal with this stupid curse somehow.
I just hoped I did not have to cut off my own arm to do so.
I heard someone shuffling around near me and looking down I saw that Rikaad had stood up.
“We should sleep. Who is volunteering for the first shift of the night watch?”
Rikaad looked at all of us equally as he asked and I decided that since I had a good four hours of tranquiliser induced sleep already that I would volunteer for the first one.

I accidentally stumbled upon a text document of my old journal thread from a therian forum from when I was a teen and now I'm going thru it bc I'm really curious of the signs I had headmates or repressed memories back then
-so far, I've described myself as "being able to switch personalities easily" and wondering if I was half demon or had a demon headmate all along that I didn't know about because I had multiple sides of me that felt very contradictory. I am hellhoundkin but I feel like a lot of the demonic feels I had as a teen have worn off a lot, especially since my mental health has gotten better.
it's crazy reading these old posts bc I'm like a totally different person now lmao. I rlly said "I have violent urges and it's hard to hold back from hurting ppl just to hear them scream" YOU COULDN'T EVEN HURT A FLY WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTTTT
-another thing that's kinda weird is that I was really obsessed with outer space at some point and mentioned that in my journal and mentioned questioning being stardragonkin but now it's like ?? I mean space is cool but it's nowhere near one of my main interests. I'm more of a fantasy person than a scifi person. naturey shit is wayyyy cooler than stars sorry.
-post about feeling sick for no reason like not having a cold or anything and being unable to eat but I thought it was species dysphoria??
-post complaining that I "don't feel like myself lately". depression or headmate??
-previously talked about feeling hellhound shifts that feel different from normal and kind of having a weird change in mindset. then in this post I mention I have a hellhound headmate named xarashi. that's them!!! that's the hellhound I "shifted" into!! also happy bc I fully forgot their name and it's been killing me that I didn't remember their name and just referred to them as "the hellhound headmate I had as a teenager". I wonder if they're still around but I feel like if I ask I would get an answer just bc I asked, does that make sense?? like I'm afraid my brain is making shit up but also, they were 100% a headmate at one point so it's not crazy to think they could still be there somewhere.
-also mentioned eshari who was a little demon girl headmate I had for a short time who was weirdly malicious. I distinctly remember like having a fight or something triggering me really badly with my internet friend and I just started feeling entirely emotionless and dissociatey and responded to my friend in ways I would not normally. and later I realized that was a headmate and tried talking to her. I genuinely thought she was an evil demon or something but I'm pretty sure she was a persecutor?? girl I'm so sorry I was so fucking dumb. anyway the lore goes that xarashi chased off eshari and kind of replaced her.
-not related to the general post idea here ig I'm just giving a live reaction at this point but I got to the point where I posted about meeting my ex abuser irl when we were dating and I said "I've never been that nervous in my life" "he kept hugging and petting me, it made me a bit uncomfortable bc I'm not used to him, but I liked it!" BITCH YOU ARE LYING TO YOURSELF BECAUSE HE LOVEBOMBED YOU AND YOU SO DESPERATELY WANT TO BE LOVED AND FEEL USEFUL YOU WILL CONVINCE YOURSELF YOU'RE OKAY WITH UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS!!! STOP!!!!!!
literally the next post I made was the announcement of our breakup LMAO
also I still wonder if he reminded me of my CSA abuser bc I was literally IMMEDIATELY wildly uncomfortable when I saw him for the first time irl and I've always kinda been uncomfortable around men with his body type, like kinda big and masculine and with facial hair. I could not date someone who looks like that and I swear it has nothing to do with attractiveness like I'm demiro I do not give a fuck if someone isn't the standard of attraction but I can't date someone too big and masculine bc they scare me?? I'm so thankful my partner is the same height as me and skinny and always shaves. I mean he's cute with facial hair at least, not like overly masculine.
-mentioned always having been closed off to my parents, not telling them that I wished I was a dog (in an otherkin way before I found the community online) or that I "didn't want to go to heaven". why was I such a weird ass kid lmao I remember I wanted to go to hell purely so that I could fight the devil myself and bc "heaven seems boring" ?? why did 7 year old me have like a self sacrifice complex or smth idk like I was OBSESSED with the idea of me going thru pain for other ppl even as a very young child. I have nooo clue if that could be SA related but it is certainly Odd
-mentioned being able to do a really good impression of karkat from homestuck (according to my friends) and wanting to cosplay him. I sorta wondered at the time if I had a karkat headmate bc I could like Become him really easily it was weird. and he has like the complete opposite personality of me.
-mentioned dissociation like. many times throughout the entire journal
that's all but I may do similar posts with some other stuff I can find online from my past bc I need to psychoanalyze myself and search for every little sign that something was Wrong that I didn't notice at the time. the internet being forever is a good thing for me rn because I threw out every single physical journal I had which makes me so sad bc I would've lovedddd to read my old cringey journals, not just to search for trauma signs but also for entertainment purposes </3

Still watching Doctor Who and I'm gonna make this a big post abt several episodes.
S 1 Ep 3:
If corpses that enter your building coming back to life and killing people is an issue, maybe stop bringing corpses into your building.
You're a time traveler, who travels across all of time and space presumably just for the fun of it, so it's likely rare for you to ever go to two places with the same beauty standards, so why the fuck do you keep your clothes a fucking mile away from the exit?
Mr. Dickens is definitely the great, great man.
Psychic jumper. Clearly. Makes people think his outfit fits in with typical 1800s earth fashion. He changed because its magical effect is specifically for the 1800s earth, while the old one was apples.
The zombie-zoom-in seems like a reaction image. Like when one specific person is being weirdly angry about something that everyone else is fine with you just rb with that.
"She's seen too much" he says as if there's anyone within a mile of that theater who hasn't seen too much.
I love the scene with the Doctor(or The Doctor?) realizing it's Charles Dickens because I don't think that was even him lying to get a free ride or anything, I'm pretty sure that was just him meeting one of his favorite authors in person.
It's not your fault if the dead stay dead, but if the dead never stay dead in your presence, it is your fault that you refuse to not actively get dead people in your presence.
"are you all right?"
Why did they just talk to him? Nobody else? Not even a single indication that they COULD talk, but then some schmuck in typical 1800s attire comes in and they start speaking in riddles?
You saw two dead people trying to kill someone.
I hate the way he looks up at Rose sometimes, his expression is like the tism creature. He's an asshole, not a Creature. He should not have that expression.
The sight?
I've heard of that!
It's not that you haven't been born yet, you can't die because it's the third episode.
I wonder how many more servant girls are gonna have saved the world by the end of the season.
Is the TARDIS gonna kill him early via heart attack?
oh, it just killed his mind early.
EP 4:
the music in this is already great.
Poor choice of words Doctor. Also why does everyone act like he's the sexiest man across time and space? Their first assumption any time they find out he's interacting with someone is sex. And their second. And their third. And their fourth.
That is a massive change in tone.
She's the first person on planet earth who knows they exist
wow they got there fast
It's been like five minutes what do you mean across the country?
What does north america have to do with this?
Three questions. First, is that a real government position, second, is that really the name of the guy who held said government position in 2006, and third, why does this dude have an encyclopedic knowledge of government officials?
Relieved stomach
Is this laughing gas, nervous laughter, or nefarious laughter?
I'm pretty sure I've seen in a clip he has like 12 of those. He's gonna vanish.
Knew it
I think they might've imprisoned a live alien
I think they just now realized they're taking orders from this guy
it's a pig. It's just a pig. It's a pig in a space suit. That's what we're so scared of.
IT'S A NORMAL SIZED PIG IN A SPACE SUIT
That didn't raise your hair in the slightest. I've been scammed
oh shit it IS a normal sized pig in a space suit
goddammit
Why is his assumption still aliens after seeing that it came from earth?
oh wow, that is some remarkably terrible CGI
Why are its blinks loud??
You have giant fuck off claws and a Zap Everybody Device and you choose to strangle someone?
EP 5:
3/5
hold on what happenned?? All I skipped was the next episode and recap bits? Why is the alien being electrocuted?
are those things ever gonna die?
I wonder if he's said that exact thing before.
I hate this one. I really fucking hate this one.
Good question Rose!
Rose you've been to three places with him and one of those is your home. If that was already enough to desensitize you to death you need therapy, not a fucking TARDIS key.
Hold on. They need the UN to launch nukes. Those are powerful. Valuable weapons. They don't want to launch the nukes, but they do want to find them, so they're trying to start the process, possibly so they can use some kind of technology to pluck them out of the air. They put the world on red alert so the UN would panic and authorize nuclear launches right into the family's waiting arms. But that's not evil enough, all they're doing with that is taking away a few mass murder devices and killing politicians, that's benevolent. So IDK actually.
I'm not a huge fan of the expressions that one makes when taking off his skin
I'd probably have the same reaction if that disgusting concoction was thrown at me.
oh now they're gonna take advantage of the UN's panic and intentionally cause a nuclear apocalypse
yep
Not even a target selection screen? Just fire?
That is a very low flying missile. A fucking pigeon could probably intercept it. Some kid could throw something at it from a high floor of a building and hit it.
Does this mean she's gonna be a reocurring character? I hope she's a reocurring character.
Yeah. It shouldn't be just tea to you. You're taking this girl across time and space in a magic blue box with "bad wolf" spraypainted on it. You should meet her fucking mother.
not even a goodbye. Seriously what the fuck? That's just mean.
To be fair last time you left for ten seconds she didn't see you for a fucking year.

Short Story 2: part 3
The walk home (final)
(Segment 1: Daniels Pov: An Awkard situation)
Daniel was just speechless. He did nothing but look at the girl. It took a few moments of silence before he even said something. "I- came here to draw flowers," he whispered, embarrassed of the situation, and how dumb his excuse sounded. Who draws flowers in a very dark forest in the middle of the night?
The girl smiled, "Thats nice, it seems you're really good at doing that," she said pointing to his open sketch. Daniel blushing red, "I guess, it's not my best work." he said shrugging it off.
The lady then just gave him a blank stare, did he say something wrong? Chuckling, the girl looked at the flower he was drawing, "It's a pretty flower, isn't it?" she said stroking some of the petals. Daniel just nodded in agreement, and the girl raised an eyebrow. "You're not much of a talker huh?" She mumbled, and Daniel looked up at her.
"Sorry, I'm just a little startled right now, and tired," He said rubbing his eyes, "You don't expect to meet a person in the forest this late at night," he chuckled to himself. The girl blushed, "I'm sorry- did I scare you?" She mumbled out embarrassed. Daniel rubbed his neck, "maybe a little bit, I didn't expect company, you kind of came out of nowhere" he said blushing as well. Both then stared at each other, their faces turning red. It seemed they were both embarrassed by the situation.
Daniel then felt a surge of confidence all sudden, it was actually nice talking to this girl. "So why are you here this late at night- if you don't mind me asking," He asked, trying to break the silence. The girl smiled, "I was getting some fresh air, the forest is usually peaceful at night," she said looking at the moon.
"Aren't you scared of all the animals that could be around here at night," He found himself blurting out. She looked at him with confusion, "I could be asking you the same thing," she giggled as she kept on, "the animals are usually calmer at night, Elora isn't really known for hostile animals." Daniel blushed out of embarrassment then smiled, "yeah I guess you're right, there's nothing to be really scared of," He chuckled, "I'm just a scaredy cat."
The girl laughed, "Then you should be glad you have someone to protect you then," she teased him, "don't want to get eaten now." "I'm not that weak," Daniel rolled his eyes but laughed along with her. He did not regret going into the forest now; it seemed worth it, something that wasn't a regular feel for him. He was weirdly comfortable with the situation; it felt nice to goof around like this.
"If you don't mind me asking, would it be ok if we did this again some other time?" Daniel said chuckling nervously, it was weird to ask a stranger this question, but he thought they could be genuine friends. They both seemed to get along great, and he had been needing an excuse to get out more often. The girl seemed lost in her own thoughts for a minute.
(Segment 2: Claires Pov: Befriending)
Claire was stunned, he wanted to do this again? Did he want to become friends with her? She was flattered, she loved making new friends, but just a few minutes ago she was staring at him non-stop. She blushed embarrassed; she really did not want him to know that. The thought of it could make her explore. Claire then snapped back to reality, and looked at Daniel who raised an eyebrow, "So is that a yes or.," he mumbled to her.
"Oh Umm, yeah I would like to do this again," She chuckled nervously, she did not usually get nervous like this, unless it was with the few exceptions of family, or other ordeals. Daniel sighed, "it's fine if you don't want to, I understand, were strangers after all," he looked at her with a smile, "it's been nice talking to you though" Claire looked at him with surprise, "I didn't say I didn't want to be friends," She frowned, what was he assuming?
The boy blushed, "Sorry- it's just when people say it like that makes me think they don't want to be friends with me," he admitted nervously. She smiled, "it's fine, it's hard to tell if people actually want to be friends with you, I've been there before too," She told him, "And I would love to do this again."
He looked at her and just smiled, " glad to have someone relate," he chuckled, "It's been starting to get lonely these days," He sighed sarcastically. Claire giggled, "Then you should be glad I snook up on you," she said. Daniel snickered, "Yeah, it wasn't creepy at all" he grinned, making Claire feel butterflies in her stomach, "What's your name anyways," the boy looked at her with curiosity.
Claire looked at him, trying not to laugh, "its Claire the creepo, what's your poor victim of mine," she asked amused. He chuckled, "Its Daniel Elsmere, nice to meet ya," He smiled in a friendly manner and put out a hand. Claire grinned back and shook his hand; she officially made a new friend today. She was glad to have gone into the forest today, she got to meet a cute boy. Then a ringing sound filled the void, it seemed to be coming from her phone, "sorry got to take this," She excused herself before reaching into her pocket, grabbing her phone to answer. Daniel just nodded then picked up his drawing to sketch again. Looking at the caller ID, Claire could feel a cold sweat up her back.
She took a deep breath before answering the phone, "Hi sis," she whispered. "Claire, what are you still doing out? It’s midnight by now," Her sister Heather said in a worried tone. Claire sighed, "Sorry, I wasn't checking the time, I will be back soon," she promised. Her sister let out a small sign of relief, "that's good, mom and dad won't stop bugging me to tell you that," Heather said in an annoyed tone, "did walking it off work?" She asked. Claire beamed, "It really did, you were right. Getting my mind off Ava really helped," she softly smiled. "Thats why everyone listens to me," Heather playfully scoffed, "I'm always right." Claire rolled her eyes, "Sure you are heather," she sarcastically said.
Heather chuckled, "anyways you take your time, I already texted dad you are staying out late, "she grinned. "Thanks sis," Claire said in gratitude, "thanks for doing that." "You're welcome, I think I'm going to go to sleep now. I got a photo shoot tomorrow," Her sister said drowsy. "Oh ok, good night sis," Claire said before hanging up the phone.
"Was that your sister?" Daniel looked at her with curiosity, forgetting the drawing in his hands. Claire nodded, leaning into some of the flowers that were in the flower bed, "She called to see if I was ok, and if getting fresh air helped clear my mind of the things happening lately," she said looking at him, was she being too straight forward? "Oh, that's nice of her," Daniel softly smiled, "It’s nice that your sister cares about you, clearing your mind always helps" Claire could see Daniel hesitated to say something else.
"Is there something wrong?" Claire raised an eyebrow, he seemed confident during their earlier conversation, what happened? Daniel instinctively rubbed the back of his neck, "I know this isn't my place to know, but what happened?" He mumbled to her, knowing he might have crossed the line asking someone he just met that. Claire gave out a small sigh, "you know how I have one sister right?" Claire asked him. "You were on call with her," Daniel said answering her back. "Well," Claire started, "I also have a younger sister, and she recently went through a breakup," she grimaced, feeling loss of words, and turned her head away for the second.
Just thinking about it could make her vomit. She still remembers her sister coming home crying, and eyes all red. She swore to herself to never let her sister be in that state again. Claire was now shaking with rage, she just needed to calm down, taking a deep breath, she looked at Daniel, whose eyes with full of remorse. "That bad?" He asked. Claire nodded, "you can say it really affected my sister, and me as well," she let out a disheartened chuckle, "I couldn't stop thinking about it."
Daniel softly smiled, moving closer to her, "You don't have to tell me more," he said looking into her grey eyes, "I'm sorry that happened to your sister, it must be hard for all of you." Claire just smiled back in gratitude, it is nice that he cared, but if she ever saw the man who hurt her sister again, and let’s just say that would not be pretty. It was silent for the moment until Daniel spoke up, trying to change the topic, "I can tell you something about myself, if you want," he said bashfully. "Sure," Claire said plainly, still shaken from the earlier topic.
"Well, I like to do art, it's pretty much my hobby" He said picking up his sketch pad to show her all his drawing he drew in his sketch book, " My life's passion basically." Claire beamed a bit, "I could clearly see that when I first saw you," she paused, "do you do it as a job too? With talent like yours it-" "No sadly not," he answered, interrupting her sentence, "It's just a hobby for me, I actually work an office job," He looked down at some flowers. "An office job?" She looked at him surprised, he did not really look like a guy that worked one, and usually people worked office jobs after college, and he didn't really look much older than her, or was he? "What sector?" She asked him, curious to know more about his job. "Ehm well," He stammered, it looked like he was mentally preparing for something.
(Segment 3: Daniels Pov: Emotion Coaster)
"I'm a Ceo," he said with a nervous whisper, hopefully this would distract her from their earlier conversation, he still felt bad for asking details. Claire just stared at him wide eyed, with enough silence to make even him uncomfortable, and he preferred the sound. She looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't, and just brushed the flower petals next to her.
"How old are you exactly? "She asked slowly, still fazed from what she had just heard. "I'm about twenty," he said with a slight anxious chuckle, "Crazy for someone my age, I know" Claire eyes then glimmered with admiration," you must be a genius for being a CEO at 20" she exclaimed amazed. Daniel blushed, shifting around a bit on the grass path they were sitting on. "Thanks, but I actually was given the role by my parents," He admitted embarrassed, wondering what she thought of him now.
She raised an eyebrow confused, "Oh," she said astonished, "I thought that only happened in stories?" Claire looked at him in suspension, "so you're one of those rich boys I presume?" Daniel was taken aback. Was he that transparent? Claire giggled, "you clearly haven't read the type of genre," she told him. Daniel blushed again, "I have, it's just not every day a person tells me something about myself that's correct," he paused for the moment, "Do you really think I'm one of them," He asked her. She looked at him like he was very dumb, "isn't it oblivious?" she tilted her head bewildered.
Daniel scoffed, "At least I don't show it off like some prize," he said flustered. Claire rolled her eyes in amusement, "sure you don't, being a CEO at twenty is totally normal," she said sarcastically. Daniel folded his arms into his lap, "Fine I guess I am one, I have been babied my whole life, I admit that," he confessed, looking down at the ground, "I guess I am one of them." Claire shifted towards him, "it isn't really a bad thing, the guys in those stories are usually snobs," she explained. Daneil looked at her, "so if your Claire the Creepo, then I'm Daniel the snob?" He turned his head to her, a silly expression plastered on his face.
She shook her head in disproval, "Doesn't really rhyme," she said, "but again if you want me to call you that I could," she shrugged. Daniel blushed yet again and waved his hands in denial, "please don't call me that," he exclaimed. "Too late," Claire mused, "Your stuck with it forever now," she smiled with satisfaction, " should have listened to me." Daniel crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, "you didn't even give me the chance," he said holding a chuckle.
Claire sighed, "maybe it's because you're too slow," she teased. Narrowing his eyes, he stared at her, "really then," he said getting up with his sketch pad and pencil in hand. "Do you have to go now?" She asked him in a worried tone, as she thought she had gone too far with the joke. "Yeah, for sure," he replied, "but if you want me to stay, then I guess you're going to have to catch me," he said turning toward the woods running on the grass path of the flower beds. Claire was studded for a moment before getting up, "hey wait for me, that's not fair!" she said running after him, making the flowers she was sitting next to slightly move.
As they both ran into the woods, the moonlight seemed to get dimer and dimer. Daniel could barely see a thing, but he knew that he had to outrun Claire. Sadly, little did he know Claire was very athletic, and she caught up to him in no time. Reaching out her hand, Claire was about to touch his shoulder when a twig made her stumble. Daniel saw her fall flat on her face, and it looked like it hurt.
"Oww-," She groaned as she lifted her head up, "why do I keep stepping on twigs today?" Laughing, Daniel helped her up, "looks like I won," He grinned with contentment. "Thats only because i tripped," she argued back smiling, "I would have gotten you by now," she said sticking out her tongue. He smirked, "it still counts," he teased. Claire rolled her eyes, then looked at the surroundings around them, "geez its dark," she said in surprise, "have we been out here that long?" Darkness swallowed them whole; they could barely see each other. "Do you have your phone?" Daniel asked, "I don't have mine," he said nervously chuckling. He could not see it, but Claire was giving him a dumbfounded look, "I- why?" she murmured in disbelief.
Daniel scratched his head, "I was focused on- you know, my art," he replied, feeling very stupid at that moment, and decided not to tell her that he also parked his car in the middle of nowhere to draw the wilderness. Claire just stared at him, then chuckled, "wow, umm, that's dedication right there," she mumbled awkwardly, then fetched her phone from her back pocket. Turning it on, the phone's screen illuminated a bit of their surroundings, enough so they could see their faces.
Looking at the screen, Claire looked shocked, "its 1:am already?" she blurted out. Daniel eyes widened, had it been that long? "I got to go," Claire said in worry, "I got to head to my sister's photoshoot tomorrow" "Your sisters a model?" Daniel asked. "Yeah, she is" She said in a hurry, "can I have your sketch book and pencil for a moment," she said gesturing to his hand. "Sure," he said giving her his stuff. Flipping to the first page, Claire wrote her phone number, "Call me some time," she said as she handed them both back. Daniel smiled, "Definitely."
Claire beamed back at him, then turned towards the opposite side of the dark woods, "Hope to see you again Daniel," she said before pausing, "do you need help getting back?" She asked him worried. "I'll be fine," He reassured her, "it shouldn't be that hard to find my car." Claire just raised an eyebrow, and shrugged, "if you say so," she replied, "Bye Daniel, see you soon," she said running off into the distance.
Daniel stood there in silence, talking to her was great, but also draining. Rubbing his tired eyes, he looked around for a bit, wondering where to go. "I'm screwed," he murmured to himself. Sighing, he started walking in a direction. Just then someone tapped him on the shoulder, and he jumped in shock. Turning around to see who to was, Claire was staring right at him, "You need help, don't you," she said. "Claire- you need to stop doing that," he catched his breath, "you gave me a heart attack." Claire flushed, "Sorry- I do need to stop doing that, I just felt bad leaving you here," she said messing with a lock of her hair.
"Don't you have your sister's photoshoot to go to?" He reminded her. Claire brought out her phone, and turned on her camera light, "Yeah, but I'm she'll understand," she said. Walking forward, Claire turned to him, "Are you coming or not?" She chuckled. Daniel looked at her with gratitude, "Thanks Claire," He smiled.
And that is the end for The Walk Outside! I got to say I did not expect to write this much, but I'm definitely proud. Claire and Daniel warmed my heart; this must be one of my most wholesome stories yet. I do need to practice not repeating smile 🥲

New week, same fics in need of progress. :P
File Names (they're all The Owl House fanfics):
Masha and the Very Normal Nocedas; a post-finale (but pre-epilogue) Veesha longfic, featuring Masha trying their damnedest to figure out what the Nocedas' whole Deal™ is, while Luz, Vee, and Hunter try as hard as possible to be Normal and Inconspicuous. Neither party is doing a very good job. It's a light-hearted mess.
Something Like a Bible; a test document of sorts for my canon rewrite, tentatively either the "Artificer AU" or "Overthinker AU", going over the broad-strokes plot and its divergences from canon. The characters and motivations remain largely unchanged, but I'm changing up the timeline some to explore new plots and leave more space for supplemental adventures in the season 2 equivalent, as well as doing perhaps a bit too much worldbuilding, headcanon dumping, and so on. I've actually started writing it now, as of a couple hours ago Last Week!
Intermission: In the Making; a scene from the aforementioned AU, in which Luz brews a special potion based on some notes left by Eda and Lilith. To be frank, I'm only writing the notes from the Clawthorne Sisters themselves for now, and I may send progress of a different fic instead to prevent spoilers.
Thanks to Them Ending Ragefic Redux; a scene from the aforementioned AU, in which the events of Thanks to Them end just a little differently. I've already written pretty much the whole changed part, so all you'd get is canon-retreading if I send progress from this one, so I'll probably do something else.
Small Town Paranormal Investigations; a scene (or really more like vague notes about an episode) from the aforementioned AU, in which the Hexsquad and Cabin 7 team up to, as the name suggests, investigate some paranormal activity in the small town of Gravesfield. May or may not include Vee coming out to her friends from camp, will definitely include a ghost hunt.
Now for the snippet: the tail end of a text conversation in Masha and the Very Normal Nocedas.
Vee :3 | 5:00 PM yeah, unfortunately. Maybe I'll just take a nap. Actually, I probably wouldn't even be able to fall asleep, I've been weirdly jittery today. ~Masha~ | 5:01 PM jittery like nervous? do you also have anxiety? Vee :3 | 5:02 PM "Also"? Do YOU have anxiety? ~Masha~ | 5:02 PM no, but im like 99% sure luz does she mentioned feeling the same way at camp a few times, shaky and scared for no apparent reason. you could probly ask her about it when she gets back Vee :3 | 5:04 PM Ah. I'll think about it. Oh! With nobody else here to complain about the water getting cold, I could take a bath or a long shower! ~Masha~ | 5:07 PM hey that works as long as youre not worried about mrs nocedas water bill Vee :3 | 5:08 PM I mean, groceries and electricity and stuff have been pretty cheap lately with just me here, so I'm sure she wouldn't mind. :3 ~Masha~ | 5:08 PM fair lol Vee :3 | 5:09 PM Plus, I think I deserve something nice after facing all those weird rude solicitors. ~Masha~ | 5:09 PM oh yeah that reminds me are the nocedas paying you for all that? Vee :3 | 5:10 PM No? Not really? Maybe, but not yet? I don't really know. :/ They were in a pretty big hurry to leave, so we didn't have time to figure everything out. Someone needed to watch the house, and I volunteered. Knowing Camila, she's just gonna treat me to something nice once they're all back, and I'm a-okay with that. ~Masha~ | 5:12 PM if you say so i think id get Violent if i had to deal with that jerk and wasnt even getting paid for it Vee :3 | 5:13 PM Again, that probably would've been more trouble than it's worth. Anyways, I'd love to talk more, but I think I can hear the hot water calling my name. >w> ~Masha~ | 5:14 PM fine, fine, take ur shower >;P i still think u coulda gotten away with at least kicking him tho

how would txt confess
pairing: txt x gn!reader warnings: brief cursing in beomgyu's part genre: fluff, brief angst for beomgyu's part
» [fairy of shampoo by txt] « 1:27 ──〇─── 4:27 ⇄ ◃◃ ⅠⅠ ▹▹ ↻
yeonjun
i feel like he would mentally prepare himself to confess for a long time
he is the confident yeonjun we know
but he'll probably feel a little nervous too
he wants it to be perfect
and honestly he just wants to give you what you deserve
so he'd plan it out and even write it down in some kind of code in his calendar
like, literally it will be planned from A to Z
until you once hang out unexpectedly
you had a horrible day and just wanted to see yeonjun
so you meet and everything's back to normal
you guys were joking and bickering again
just in general, having fun
and the moment just feels right
and then he looks in your eyes
everything for him suddenly slows down
he feels the well known warmth and just how good he feels next to you
and just like that, he says it unconsciously
"i really like you"
you obviously don't know what to do
and then he suddenly sobers up but, weirdly to you, doesn't change his mind
he repeats it, as if you were the one being in trance, not him
"you better like me the same way"
soobin
god i don't know what would have to happen for him to confess
well obviously i know, cause i'm here now but you get it
he takes the teeny tiny steps as i've talked about earlier
and with every step he becomes more obvious to you
but just as our boy kai, he's oblivious and thinks he's so smooth
soobin, you're doing great sweetie
okay, oh boy let's be real
he got drunk
yeah this is what it takes for soobin to be more confident
maybe almost yeonjun-level confident
so our boy gets drunk and suddenly teeny tiny steps turn into freaking sneakers marathon
put my sneakers on, hana dul ready get set go
he's so obviously clingy and just so cute i can't
so he just clings to you wrapping his long arms around you and burying his face in your hair
you obviously think he's very cute and kinda make fun of him being so wasted and clingy
and then it happens!
"don't laugh at me, i just like you so much..."
needless to say, both of you are speechless
but soobin is more speechless because of the amount of alcohol in his blood system so
"please don't hate me"
the rest of the evening is just him whining about how much he doesn't want you to be mad at him and hate him for this sudden confession
beomgyu
this bitch
literally through your whole friendship he won't even say a thing ab how he likes you
and he's a person that would probably never tell you if it wasn't for a fact you two were arguing
beomgyu is a hopeless romantic, but he never even gave you a slightest hint that he's onto something
well except for the fact that he literally treats you the way he never treats anyone else but ok let's say you're as oblivious as sookai
he doesn't plan on confessing to you, he just wants to die out of his love to you
cause he's literally a pisces so rip
but then you get into an argument over something so petty and beomgyu turns into an angry emoji and becomes cold again
so you ask him why is he so moody all the time
and then, you hear the most unexpected thing
"well, maybe i'm moody cause i fucking like you?"
what
you both look at each other without saying anything
and then you understand why he was so moody whenever you mentioned anyone else or wanted to hangout with someone whose name didn't start with b and ended with eomgyu
he likes you
damn that's a whole lotta confusion i bet
taehyun
mister steal-your-heart acts kinda like beomgyu
doesn't want to show you his true feelings being scared of destroying things
but deep inside he is planning everything out
he fantasizes about confessing to you
he obviously changes his mind every five minutes about how he wants to do that
and then decides to just not confess to you
but he still fantasizes about this
he will want to let it go on it's own living the "if it's meant to be it will be" mindset
and then one day you two are hanging out in his place
and start flirt-joking as always
you say something like "are you in love with me or something" while joking
and he, instead of laughing, looks at you all serious
and says
"and what if i am?"
jaw on the floor, i am dead, goodbye
his answer leads you both into a deep conversation and his "joke" turns out to be truth
hueningkai
we already know, he's whipped for you like crazy and his feelings to you are pretty much obvious
but this kid is too scared to confess anyways
even just thinking about it makes him nervous and stressed
deep inside of him he hopes that you will be the one confessing to him
even though he's a leo, he's just straight up shy
but don't worry he eventually admits he likes you
otherwise i wouldn't be there
he just needs a little help
you once met taehyun, kai's friend and he literally begged you to confess to kai or whatever cause he's so tired of hearing kai whining about how he likes you but doesn't have a courage to confess
so you take matters in your hands and invite kai over
you were extremely clingy and cuddly which made him really happy
but it still didn't make him confess
so you decide to go with the most stupid but also easiest way to make him confess
"why does no one ever like me:( i must be so ugly:(("
kai looks at you shocked that you don't think you're the most beautiful creature in the world like he does
"you're not ugly!! and that's totally not true!!"
you look at him and ask "why"
"b-because... i like you!"
JESUS CHRIST BINGO
he's all shy, his face is red and you obviously act all shocked like you didn't know that he likes you all this time
but our boy is also happy he finally said that:')
♡︎❀☆
sorry for any spelling mistakes hope you liked it <3! my requests are still open if you want to request something!! ~ jules

Alright, I'm gonna get heavy for a second
I made a post about how I can sometimes struggle with seeing Fenris portrayed as significantly shorter and/or physically smaller than Hawke because while I do think the height difference is cute, it can sometimes come across as infantilizing towards Fenris and infantilization of him makes me deeply uncomfortable.
And almost immediately I was hit with an accusatory tone question of why feminization of male characters (not infantilization) makes me uncomfortable
I have deleted that post before I made this one because I do not want anyone going to find it, seeing that comment, and harassing the person who made it. That person had no way of knowing the context I'm going to provide below, and I am certain it came from their own pain and they do not deserve to be harassed over something as small as a single comment
But, it did set me off a bit which is why I'm now making this post. I cleared this up on the other post, but since I'm making another, longer one, I'm going to restate it here
Fenris is canonically a sexual assault victim, and so am I
Portraying Fenris as submissive, inexperienced, afraid, nervous, and yes, physically small, in romantic or sexual contexts reminds me of how I felt during my assault. Scared, helpless, unable to run or say no, and small.
But portraying Fenris as confident, enthusiastic, enjoying himself, and yes, strong, gives me hope. It makes me feel like I could have that too. That I could be in a sexual situation, enjoy myself, and feel safe, if I ever choose to (I'm also ace so that adds a whole other layer of nuance to this but we're not gonna talk about that today)
I want to make it clear: Fenris is fictional, what happened to me cannot happen to him because he is not real. I understand that. But y'know… fiction is safe. Fiction is a good place to work through stuff, a fictional character didn't suffer like I did and that almost makes it better because nothing can hurt me if I don't want it to.
Obviously, there is nuance. Fenris can be inexperienced, but confident. Nervous, but not afraid. Physically small, and not treated as a child. I am not blind to that. In fact, I like that, I like exploring that nuance myself. It's when that nuance is absent that bothers me.
Note: I am not going to discuss my opinions on how Fenris sexual trauma is handled in fandom nor in the games. Not right now. I have opinions, but it is straight up just too painful and I do not want to talk about it. Please don't ask me to
But with all of that said, it also isn't anyone else's problem. No one else is me. Why should they stop making the content they enjoy, because I, random internet person #114214125, don't like it?
I have extremely specific set offs for my trauma for this situation, an example of which being the "chin grab." When one character grabs another character's chin to direct them into a kiss. I cannot handle that, that was done to me when I attempted to pull away from the boy I was with and he grabbed my chin and forced me to kiss him. Still, that is not anyone else's problem
But, it can be upsetting if I were to make a post on my own blog and say "I don't like seeing chin grab kisses in fanart, it's a bit too dubious consent for me" and someone were to comment a weirdly accusatory question on, I don't know, why premarital kissing makes me uncomfortable, it catches me off guard. It pulls up all those issues I have and makes me consider them when I am totally unprepared. Which is not a fun way to spend my afternoon, it is not.
So all of that, is an in-heartened plea, to use your block button. Honest to god. That's it, that's all I'm asking.
You don't know why someone has the opinion they do. I don't either. That's why when I do see people who heavily post this kind of thing, I block them, because maybe they have the same experience as me and cope in a different way. Maybe they don't. It's not important, who are they hurting? They're enjoying something, in a way I don't, they have that right just as I have the right not to see it.
You have that same right, if I post something you don't agree with, that upsets you, about Fenris, or any other character, you can just block me. It's fine. It's not personal
And maybe that person is a bigot, in that case, blocking them is really all you can do. Reporting as well. But you won't win a fight with them in the comments, and assuming everyone is bigoted is going to cause both you and them more pain than is necessary in a fandom space especially.
I make this post because... what else am I supposed to do? Really? Ask people to "Tag infantilzation of Fenris" what does that mean? What does that look like? That ignores all the nuance. The definition is radically different for each person you ask.
"Just leave the fandom!" I did. For years. I just came back to active involvement. I don't want to leave the fandom, I might if it becomes too mentally taxing, but I don't want to. I love this fandom, I love these people, I love these characters, I want to exist in a space where I can love them alongside other people. "Just leave" shouldn't have to be a go to solution
So I stay, and I block people, and every now and then, I vent on my blog when stuff slips through the cracks. It makes me feel better.
"Don't ever post opinions" is an option too but it's not a super... fair one. This is my blog, for opinions! Maybe I'll tag things less, maybe I'll try and judge what might be more inflammatory than I first thought, but I shouldn't just have to "stop posting opinions" and I shouldn't have to just "not read the comments" when the whole point is to talk to people.
I am getting true help for this as well, I'm only posting this because I believe that talking more openly about what happened is cathartic, and it is. A small comment upset me, so I'm gonna talk about it a bit. I'm working with a therapist and perhaps one day, I won't have these set-offs anymore, that's what I hope, but I do for now.
I'd like to vent when I can, in this space I've made for me before anyone else. All I ask is that you think about the person behind the screen, the person you don't know, who's life you can't know, and if they say something you don't like, block and leave them be.
#Dragon Age#Fenris#Personal#I guess#okay to rb#i might delete this#but I wanted to say it so. for now i'm posting

and that's how i met you mother
✎desc; love at first sight with shiratorizawa (honestly, not all of them are love at first sight but ignore that)
✎pairing[s]; shiratorizawa 3rd years x f!reader (separate)
✎genre; fluff, crack
✎language[s]; english
✎chef note; just an excuse for me to write lovesick boys💗 (I can’t do Shirabu, Kawanishi and Goshiki’s part cause I ran out of ideas🤸♀️🚆)
Ushijima
It would just be a normal day in his class, learning and stuff like usual
Then after the teacher finished explaining and hand out the tasks, he'll went through his pencil case and couldn't seem to find any pen
Ushijima frowned at that and looked throughly in his pencil case but with no luck, there's none
He swore that he had put some inside, maybe his mind slipped a little?
A tap on his shoulder caught his attention as he turned his head around to make eye contact with you
You're holding out one of your pen to him with a neutral look,
"You can have it," Ushijima look at you surprised, does that mean he can just take it from you? That's a little absurd
But he didn't question it and nodded, slowly taking the pen from your hand and continue studying
The pen doesn't really sit right in his hand, it's not being his and literally someone else that he doesn't have the chance to talk to
He'll spare a glance at you every minute (ngl, he's complimenting your side view internally)
And when you caught him looking at him, he'll just blink and slowly look back at his work with a light blush on his cheeks
(Istg it's so cute)
After the class ends and before you can leave for lunch, Ushijima caught your attention first,
"Here, thank you for lending me this. And unfortunately, i can't take it from you"
You're just looking at him with a dumbfounded look before taking the pen from him,
"Ah, no problem, um..." "Ushijima Wakatoshi"
You nodded at that, scratching the back of your head "...Ushijima. And it's [y/n]"
Both of you are just standing there in front of each other but it's not awkward, surprisingly
It's as if you two are waiting for one of you to speak and end the convo
(Spoiler alert; none of you wanted to end the convo since both of you find each other interesting)
You cleared your throat, fiddling with your pen a little, "Okay, see you after this, Ushijima"
He nodded at that and with that, both of you went to your separate ways
'[Y/N], YOU AWKWARD BASTARD! THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING, I BET HE THOUGHT THAT YOU'RE WEIRD NOW!'
Ushijima's just walking towards the gym with a fairly visible blush across his cheeks as he look down
"Ushijima..."
"[y/n]..."
"I guess he's fine..."
"I guess she's fine..."
Ushijima Current Mission!
Trying to figure what other scenarios he can drag you in to have a convo with you again
Good luck Wakatoshi~!
Tendou
You and Tendou have talked with eachother a couple of times but it's nothing more than that
And Tendou actually want to talk more with you (at first for friendship points but y'know...)
Today, you look more beautiful than ever to him today
It's not like you're not beautiful every other day (he thinks you're pretty so that's why he kept on having a convo with you)
And he caught into that
Somehow, he can't help bet stare at you in a distance and he tried his best to avoid getting caught
(Tendou's scared that you find him creepy for looking at you all the time and he don't want that thought to flood you mind)
Then, you came to him to explain about the work your science teacher gave since she's absent for the time being
And you can bet that he doesn't hear a single thing you said because he's too focused on yourself
It's kinda like in those scenes in manga where the main character stare into the main interest
The main interest looking as beautiful as ever with flowers around them
Pretty eyes, angelic face, kissable lips
For him, you're perfect and he even thought that you might be an angel in disguise
No matter how you even see yourself, he would always think that you're fascinating, adorable, enticing—
"Tendou, are you okay?"
The redhead snapped out from his thought and got caught by you
By now, his face is literally mocking his hair color as he chuckled nervously,
"Ah, I'm fine! It's just that..."
He was about to stop mid sentences but thankfully he still got that crumbs of courage and just goes with it,
"...you look pretty today,"
Tendou said with a closed eyes smile, peeking an eye open and trying to see your reaction (ngl he's nervous)
You blinked
Before you literally exploded at that which is what make him surprised in his seat
You fake coughed, looking away and avoiding eye contact,
"Thanks...."
[love meter +10!]
If this is an actual manga or anime, there could've been hearts dancing around him
Timeskip to Tendou at his home and squealing quietly to himself (he can't let his family hear him fanboying for someone in his school lmao)
"We're totally going to marry 3 years from now on~" he says to himself in the mirror with so many confidence
(I just love it when Tendou act like that, let him have his moment)
"Haha, thank you gods for creating me and [y/n] in the same world,"
Tendou's Current Mission!
Getting to know you better and give tons and tons of compliments, just like in the simulations! Specifically otomes and dating games
Try your best Satori~!
Semi
It was another day, another practice session
Except that it went longer than Semi expected, he managed to run from the gym to the main entrance
But before he can even put on his shoes, heavy rain started pouring down
He look at the dark grey sky, resting his forehead onto the shoe locker with one shoe already in his foot while the other in his hand
Sighing, Semi thought about asking to come with Tendou and Yamagata since he didn't bring his umbrella
But on second thought, he realized that they prolly forgot theirs too
And all 3 of them have to run under the rain again like last time
Yamagata and Tendou: "We can avoid the rain if we're fast enough!"
He shivered at that their words and the thought of getting terribly sick again
And before Semi's brain can process a strategy for himself, he was caught off guard when an umbrella was opened next to him,
"Ah sorry,"
In those few seconds, everything went slow motion when your eyes catches his
(He swore it felt like in the anime)
He can feel his cheeks flushing a little but thanks to the wheater, it's not obvious
"Hello?" Semi snapped from his thoughts, shaking his head before focusing on you again,
"Sorry, sorry, um—" "You don't have an umbrella?"
He blinked, shaking his head slightly
It's a pretty peaceful staring between you two with the rain hitting the ground as background sounds
Until you lift your umbrella up, and pointed at the small spot next to you with your thumb,
"Here, I'll help you,"
"Eh?"
Semi was flabbergasted a little at your statement but would he decline it?
Of course not,
"Just tell me where your house is then I help you go there,"
And that's how he find himself back at his house's entrance with you in front of him,
"And that's why I just let you walk with me for the afternoon,"
"Is that so, oh wait! I haven't known your name, and you prolly haven't known my name either..."
He scratched the back of his neck before looking at you with a smile,
"The name's Semi Eita, thanks for the walk back home,"
Your lips parted a little before in turns into a tooth rotting smile,
"[y/n], no problem and thanks for the company, Eita,"
An arrow pierced through his heart as his face is literally the color of Tendou's hair
And just like that, you left him on the entrance with a funny expression upon his face
Cutting the scene to Semi punching his pillow (rip pillow)
"You already caught me off guard already but you really had to look at me like that...."
Semi's Current Mission!
Try to find you the next day after first period and try not to be awkward with you and his convo after the eventful day
You can do it Eita~!
Yamagata
Let's just say that,
Yamagata went through the late anime girl scenario
But with his toast falling down from his mouth while running towards his school
And his stamina almost running low despite being a volleyball player and a libero
(His house's prolly far from his school, cut him some slacks sheesh)
He's pretty much stumbling a lot when he enters the school and speed walking up the stairs
Some of the students look at him weirdly but that doesn't become his main concern because a strict teacher is going first
Yamagata's almost there, almost reaching his classroom's door
But god had other plans and place an invisible rock in front of him
And as you can tell, he slipped on it and now facepalming the floor
(The sound is so loud my lord)
He groaned, shaking a little while trying to sit up from his position
The male look up and is now face to face with you, who's looking down at him
Okay he might be delusional from the impact but is he actually looking at an angel right now?
"Dude, you okay? That's gotta hurt from the sound that it made—"
Your words drowned inside his mind as he widened his eyes with pink tints decorating his cheeks
'This...THIS IS IT!'
"—also I think your nose is bleed—"
"PLEASE MARRY ME!!"
You flinched at that but keep a calm face, a little bit concerned that he may hit his head too hard
While Yamagata is just having heart eyes for you, sparkles around him after saying those words almost too confidently
He doesn't know what's in him that make him think that you're the one,
But he definitely can feel it
You sighed, crouching down while searching through your pocket and pulling out a small pack of tissues,
"I think we're going so fast right now but no, maybe 5 years later or never,"
"Does that mean you agree??"
"I don't know, you're handsome but also stupid, a himbo I think,"
You wipe away the blood dripping down his nose, taking his arm, opening it and put the bloodied tissue on it before closing it, giving a light tap,
"Now go to the nurse office,"
"Will you be there for me?"
"No,"
You help him stand up, dusting his shoulder and walk away as if nothing happened
Yamagata watches you from the distance with a lovesick smile
Tendou laughed behind him with Ushijima and Reon next to him and Semi looking at Yamagata, confused,
"Hayato, I have no idea if you had your alarm on but you just came to school during recess,"
"She's perfect...also, I think I need to go to the nurse right now cause my head hurts,"
Yamagata's Current Mission!
Marry [y/n]
Have fun, Hayato~!
Reon
(He will have the best love at first sight cause I say so)
It was the school festival and it's lively in every corner of the school, the outside, inside the classrooms, even the hallways
Reon had just finished his part of his classroom and now can walk around to enjoy the festival
Honestly, it's a pretty normal day to him despite being the school's festival
The students of Shiratorizawa has always been this lively so it's good that they can be keep the atmosphere as how it is like any other days
Since the others are still working on their parts, Reon was all by himself
Sure, the quiet sounds without Tendou, Semi and Yamagata is fine but he prefer it being loud anyway
A short of way to fill in the boring silence
But what's the bad thing to enjoy the peace once in a while?
So he take a small walk outside the Shiratorizawa building
Stalls decorated the outside with students busy serving the customers
He was greeted by some of them as he greeted them back with a warm smile
Hands inside his pocket while looking at the sky every few seconds
Baby blue sky with fluffy white clouds, it is the spring afterall
It was at that moment where he turn his head around and caught your eyes
It was something between those few seconds that a lighting strike between the string connecting you two for a second
Reon knew he did from the moment you two clashed with each other so suddenly
It was...not love at first sight exactly,
But rather, familiarity, like,
'Oh, hello, it's you. It's going to be you,'
The staring prolly lasted more than he expected before you snapped out from your thought, shaking your head,
"Sorry! Didn't mean to..." "But you didn't do anything?" He rose an eyebrow, smiling sheepishly and watch your panic slowly dissolves
"Well, technically yeah but It was bad of me to stare off at you like that,"
He chuckled, your heart clenching at that,
"Don't worry, I think I did it too...maybe both of us did,"
"Ah, yeah! Probably..." you fiddled with your fingers, visibly nervous facing him since he's basically a stranger even tho being in the same school,
"Reon Oohira," "Eh?" You look at him with confusion at first, while he just offers you a smile,
"My name, since we have...how to say it, meet each other? And I don't want to make you uncomfortable after all that so I think it's best if we introduce ourselves,"
Your heart's basically beating out loudly that you'll afraid that he'll hear it
But, that doesn't seem so bad, does it?
You mirrored his smile, this time more confidently than before,
"[y/n] [l/n], nice to meet you Reon!"
"Please,"
Reon put his hand onto your head, "Just call me Hira,"
You fainted
"She's interesting, I love her,"
Reon's Current Mission!
Get to know you better and honestly, there's nothing else to do after that other than asking you out
You'll do great, Oohira~!

Not as a Friend
Pairing: Heeseung x gn!Reader
Genre: Fluff, Angst
Word count: 2,485
Summary: The two of you have always been close to each other. Saying, I love you, as friends, since young. But your feelings are deeper than that of a friend. A confession pushes you to tell him how you really feel, even if it might ruin your friendship.
A/N: It's been a millennium since I've written. This is also my first time writing in First Person so this was a struggle. Still, I hope it's not too bad. *I wrote this with the thought of the Reader and Heeseung being high school seniors, already 18, but I never specified age or grade in the story, so I guess it doesn't really matter. Anyways, enjoy!
The walk home with Heeseung today feels unbearable, I know that he keeps glancing in my direction, I know he’s worried after seeing my face in class. That makes it hurt even more, he’s so kind and caring, what did I do to deserve a friend like him? We continue our walk back home in silence and I think about the past.
I like you and I love you are very straightforward words, but depending on the context of the relationship they can have a different meaning. I remember the first time I said I loved him, it was a very wholesome moment. We were only six, our mothers watched us play together in the park, “They haven’t known each other for very long but they get along so well,” my mother said gleefully.
“Yes, they must really like each other,” Heeseung’s mother replied. I lifted my head to look at Heeseung, our eyes met and we smiled at each other. Hearing their conversation, I turned to them ready to tell the world about my friend.
“I love Heeseung, he is my best friend!” I grabbed his hands, they were just as small as mine. Heeseung leaned into me, flashing a dazzling smile to our parents.
“I love y/n too.” It was so innocent. For a long time after that, we never had a problem saying, I love you, to each other. It was just a casual statement between friends. In instances when saying goodbye to each other or times when we would annoy each other, one of us would say, ‘you still love me, don’t you?’ and the other would reply ‘...I still love you.’
It changed when we were older and our peers would make fun of us for saying it so casually. I wasn’t bothered by the teasing, but Heeseung would always try to defend the innocence of our relationship, “Guys, we don’t like each other. We're just friends, this is just how we have always been with each other.” I had already started to develop feelings for him, maybe I was feeling guilty because when I would say, I love you, it wasn’t so much in a platonic way anymore. So one day I drew a line.
“Heeseung, you know I love you, right?” We sat in his living room, relaxing after we came back from school.
“What’s wrong?” I guess my tone didn’t sound too happy, he looked concerned as he looked at me in silence waiting for my answer.
“I think we should stop saying, I love you, to each other...not just in front of our classmates, but probably when we’re alone too.” He sat up straight quickly, pushing his hair back.
“What, why? Is it because of all the teasing?” I couldn’t meet his eyes and tell him the real reason.
“Not really, I’ve just been thinking. We aren’t in love with each other or anything, we’re just friends. When you do end up dating someone, I don’t want to be the problem in your relationship. If I was in their shoes, I think I would be jealous. So...yeah.” I looked back up at him, he looked at me too, seeming to be thinking and searching for something. After the long pause, he slumps back a little and leans his head back, letting out a big sigh.
“If that’s how you feel then we can do that.”
“Hey come on, it’s not like I suddenly stopped caring about you.”
“Ha, yeah.” He gave a small smirk. We continued our evening together with a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
Not long later, I regretted what I said that day. Most people were finished with class cleaning, same for me. I was packing my things, getting ready to leave school with Heeseung like we do every day. Weirdly enough Heeseung usually finishes before me and comes to me first, but he wasn’t here yet. I walk to his classroom after I'm done getting ready, and yet still, I didn’t see him. I asked some of his classmates, “Hey, do you know where Heeseung is?”
“Uh, he left with a girl a little while ago, but he didn’t take his stuff,” one of his classmates answered, pointing to his bag half-packed on his desk, he didn’t take his phone either. Many thoughts flew through my head, but the loudest one was, ‘He’s getting confessed to.’ I pursed my lips and then said my thanks to his classmates and left back to my classroom. I wanted to take his bag, pack it for him, but the thought of finding out that he said yes, I don’t think I could look at him, it would hurt too much.
I sat down on my seat in the now-empty class, laying my head down and covering my head with my arms. ‘A confession doesn’t take long, I’ll wait for 10 minutes max. If he doesn’t come to get me then I’ll just leave.’ I gripped onto my forearms, ‘I should be happy for him if he says yes to her.’ I started to anxiously bounce my leg, ‘Please, come back soon.’ It felt like an eternity left alone with my thoughts. The sounds outside the classroom slowly softened as students continued to leave. Within the muted sounds came pounding footsteps and then the sound of the door slamming open. Startled, my head shoots up from the desk and I look to the door. There he was, bag slung on one shoulder, his breathing irregular from running, a nervous smile on his face as he let out a just as nervous chuckle.
“Thank goodness you're still here, I wasn’t sure if you left without me. And sorry, I had to do something really quick.” His face fell when he saw my face go from shocked to one that was holding back tears, emotional upheaval nearby. “What’s wrong? What happened?” his eyes were filled with concern as he quickly went up to me kneeling in front of my seat. His head now lower than mine, I looked down at him.
“Heeseung,” my voice had a slight tremble. “I- can we go to your place first...I’ll be ready to tell you then.”
“Of course,” he wrapped his arms around my body, it was such a natural gesture. “It’s gonna be okay.” I hoped it was going to be okay and that he wouldn't leave me after this.
"I-I would never leave without you," even though I said only 10 minutes, I would have waited till the sunset, till there was no more hope. With those last words I pull away from him and we walk out of the classroom without another word and made the seemingly long walk home. Finally, at his home, his parents are still at work it seems so we head straight upstairs. He gets into his normal spot on his bed but instead of leaning against the wall, he sits forward, looking at me. My normal spot would be next to him but I just stood in front of his bed. I don't want to make him uncomfortable after what I'm about to tell him.
"Before I say anything else, I just want to confirm something, if you are comfortable with sharing. What did you have to do during cleaning time?" Heeseung processed for a bit and then his eyebrows shot up in realization.
"Oh uh…" he hesitates.
"It's fine if you don't want to share." ‘I'm still gonna say what I have to say regardless of the answer, I thought to myself.’
"No, no, it's just a little weird. I…got confessed to," silence.
"...Ah, I thought that was the case."
"I rejected them!” he retorted. “...sorry, I'm not mad at you, I just-” he sighed while putting his head in his hands. “I don’t want to make this about me, but I need to say something to you too,” he looks back up at me. I was startled but I knew he wasn’t angry at me, but he was obviously in distress.
“It’s okay, Heeseung. I’ll always be here for you, no matter what. I just hope I don’t ruin the mood after this. Okay, okay, ...sorry, just a little bit longer,” I say, letting out nervous laughter. I start to pace around his room, nerves getting the best of me. I feel my heart pick up speed and I try to keep my breathing under control, clenching and unclenching my fists. I didn’t realize he got up from the bed till I felt his hand squeeze mine. I look at him, freezing up in his gaze. My thoughts are telling me to run away but the heat from his hand was suffocating against my burning one, and yet I didn't want to let go, the feeling told me to stay.
"Hey, you know. You know... I'll love you no matter what. It's okay." Those words that I want so dearly to be true made my heart stop and my body tremble with trepidation. More than anything I didn't want to lose Heeseung, but I care about him, so I don't want to lie and not tell him how I really feel.
"I love you so much. I- I don't know what to do with myself…" My hand squeezes his back, making his hand quiver along with mine. There was heat building up behind my eyes, vision becoming a little blurry.
"It’s okay, breathe. Tell me what’s wrong.”
“No, you don’t get it,” the tears that had been brimming around my eyes finally fell. “I love you and I always will but for a long time now it’s been more than that. I like-like you, I- I’m in love with you! I don’t want to be just your friend anymore. The thought of you being with someone else hurts...so much, but I’ve been too scared to say anything because I don’t want to lose you.” The words became more unsteady, I tried to stop myself from losing complete control of my emotions. I slowly started to sink to the floor and Heeseung followed me down till we popped to the ground in the middle of his room. While stared into each other’s eyes the entire time, I could see Heeseung’s face change, expressing multiple different emotions, none of them seem good.
“...I’m sorry, I d- I didn’t know. I’m sorry, y/n.” Heeseung pursed his lips, he looked like he was about to cry with me. He lets go of my hand and wraps his arms around my body squeezing me tight, repeating, I’m sorry. Are we both trembling now? It’s hard to tell if it’s just me but I wrap my arms around him too and let it all go, my whimpers and sniffles became full-blown sobs. I don’t know how long we cried for, but eventually, our cries came to a hush. It seems like we cried for a long time together and I feel exhausted.
“Ugh, I kinda feel like I have to throw up.” As an attempt to lighten the mood I joke about the very real condition of my stomach, while I pull away from him. Heeseung sniffles and chuckles.
“Yeah, same here,” we look each other in the eyes again. His hands came up and touched my face wiping away the dampness from my cheeks. Even after gently wiping he still kept his hands there. “I’m sorry, that I was a coward. If I just told you how I felt sooner, much sooner, you wouldn’t have to suffer like that. I’m in love with you too…” He pauses to see my reaction as I process this new information. “Pfft, I thought you would have been happy, why are you crying again?” he teases as he rubs at my face again. Even in a moment like this, we can't stop our bantering.
“Shut up, these are tears of happiness,” I hadn’t even realized more tears fell out, I thought I was all cried out. “We are both cowards though. It feels kinda silly now, we’ve cried this much just to say, I love you. When did it all become so complicated?” I sighed, tilting my head a little.
“I don’t know exactly when I fell for you, but when I realized, I knew I wanted you by my side, always, not like before, not as just friends. But I was afraid of ruining our relationship if you didn’t feel the same way.” I grab his shoulders pushing him down to the ground, straddling his body.
We’re so lame, worrying about the same thing, and in the end, we have nothing to worry about, because we both like each other!” Heeseung raises an eyebrow.
“Correction, love each other.” I purse my lips as I look down on him.
“Yeah, I like you, I love you, I’m in love with you! Happy now?
“Yup,” He gave a sly smirk.
“...Damn, I really want to kiss you.”
“What’s stopping you?” ‘Fair enough,’ I thought as I leaned down, closing my eyes, placing a chaste kiss on his lips. I could feel his lips form a smile against mine which made me smile too. I pulled away laughing, the happiness I’m feeling right now seems unreal, but looking at his smile, the reddish color that dusted his cheeks and ears told me just how real it was.
“That was nice,” I say as I remove myself from the top of his body and lay beside him.
“Much better than our first kiss. This time I didn’t have to hide how much I like kissing you.” He turns his body to face mine, propping his head with his hand. My eyes widened at this revelation.
“Wait, you liked me since then?”
“Definitely before then, but yes.”
“Ahh, why were we both so oblivious?!” I bring my hands up to cover my face.
“Hey, at least we know now. I don’t plan on letting you go.”
“Oh, dearest boyfriend of mine, who said I was going anywhere without you?” Heeseung grins from ear to ear.
“I like the sound of that.”
“I’m sure all our classmates and friends will love to tease us about this when they find out. Heeseung cringes at that statement, not exactly something to look forward to.
Sure enough, when we came to school the next day we decided we were not going to try and hide anything, and walked to school holding hands, fingers intertwined. The hollers from our friends and classmates made us embarrassed, but explanations would come later. Though what left everyone flabbergasted, myself included, is when we had to part ways, going into our classrooms, Heeseung bent down and tilted my head up towards his and kissed me. It was short and he left me in the hall dumbstruck as he scurried to class. The shouts of everyone watching were lost to my ears. I was so gonna get him later for this.

May I have a my hero and ohshc matchup plz
I'm a short girl around 5'2 with long brown hair and eyes and a leo. I like anime,dragons,reptiles,drawing but I'm not good,tarantulas,sweets,video games, memes,dark humor. I am very kind but I care more about others than I do myself. I have bad anxiety. I tend to overthink about everything. I love to sing especially country music but I am tone deaf. I have trouble standing up for myself because I was bullied alot. I can be very blunt. I also love to swear. I can be very loud. I love a good mystery and cop shows. I love dad jokes and puns.I am terrified of bees and heights. I am very lazy but I can be good at doing stuff if motivated. I have a very kind heart and sad stories or ones with very happy endings make my heart happy or hurt like crazy. But even though I'm kind that doesn't mean i am nice all the time. I am extremely grumpy and have a short temper especially on no sleep or if I just woke up. I also do have adhd and some anxiety I dont like being touched randomly unless I know it will happen or if I touch someone. As for dreams I'm not sure I wanna be a voice actor but not too sure if its right for me as I don't know how to edit or even have the equipment. I want someone who can just listen to me as I ramble on about things I love. I want someone to understand that I think differently then normal people. I also want someone to be able to understand im not the most affectionate person but I can be if given time but I will help someone if they are touch starved like I am.
[🌄 @cutelittleriot requested one (1) regular My Hero Academia matchup. I have just the ingredients for that! Sit tight while I get to work.🌌]
YAYYY!! First bnha matchup!! I gotchu bud 👍 I’m thinking about trying something new for the bnha fandom in particular. So, I’ll try it out and see what you think! Also, I got a little carried away with this one, so if it doesn’t seem characteristically accurate to you, please tell me!! 😖
And, the lucky person is:
⛰Eijiro Kirishima⛰
Quirk: Dragon
Dragon is a mutation quirk. It manifests slowly over time, until the user becomes about 60% dragon-esque at around 15/16 years old.
Scales and tough skin appear on the arms, legs, and face. Sharp teeth and claws grow in. Horns protrude from the forehead. A tail grows from the spine. Finally, wings grow from the back.
Flesh becomes twice as tough in places where scales are.
Depending on the user’s body type, wing usage is limited. (Since you’re generally shorter than average, “flying” and gliding comes easier to you.)
When the user consumes pressurized carbon dioxide, their stomach converts it into flammable gasses. Which allows the user to breathe- er...burp...fire.
Fire must be carefully used however. The smoke produced can accidentally be breathed in, causing lung damage.
🌱Humble Beginnings🌱
I’ll start by saying this: Being bullied is never fun. Being bullied over something you can’t easily control or change? Rub salt in it, why don’tcha?
You weren’t sure what the select few kids in your grade thought was so hilarious about your quirk. But, they managed to find enough wrong with it to do their damage for most of your time in school
First, the patches of scales that showed up on your skin were “too weak”. Then, your awkward transition stage with growing horns, wings, and tail was suddenly “ugly”
By the time your quirk fully manifested, the jeers finally devolved to “freak-ish”
Like a river carving out the Grand Canyon, the work was slow and wore you down over time. But, the impact was a lot bigger than even you’d initially thought
While you managed to somewhat heal and learned to guard your emotions against such hurtful things, that’s all you learned to do: Guard yourself. You were a shield with no spear, since you never fought back
With the help of supportive parents and teachers, your self-esteem wasn’t so low, but you did often downplay or underestimate your abilities
Like, Bitch??? You can burp fire??? Know your power???
The people you were on good terms with seemed to see a potential that you either disregarded, or didn't know about all together
They saw the way you treated others with consideration and forethought. How, despite (or because of) your anxiety, you remained hyper-aware of the problems of others and how to accommodate. And while your anger did have its vices, people knew how hot your righteous rage could burn
It actually took a lot of convincing for you to even apply to U.A.
Outside of your other aspirations for the future, you didn’t particularly feel worthy for the job. Of anything you could be, you weren’t a fearless, upstanding, unshakable individual, not even giving a second thought to throwing yourself into danger for the good of others. You weren’t your alleged definition of a hero, and that was enough to deter you
But, whenever you recited your polite (well-rehearsed) decline, most gave you the same weirdly optimistic retort:
“Just try, maybe you’ll do better than you’re giving yourself credit for.”
So, here you were at an entrance exam full of people you hardly knew, wondering how you even rationalized to yourself that this would go just fine
The written exam went okay. As well as you could for literally guessing what to study to pass
All you had to do was do your best on the physical exam, and you’d be done for the day
But, your issue was in the people around you, not the exam itself
You were aware of the high amount of attention the moment you walked onto campus. The way other kids measured you up from a distance, studying everything about your not-so-human body. Watching your every move, especially the way your movements were strained from soreness (A short period of intense training tends to do that to you). You assumed they also wanted to see if your disposition was as powerful as your quirk suggested
((You specifically noticed a coltish, green-haired kid muttering to himself, questioning if your wings could actually support your body weight))
Even now, as the prospective heroes-in-training warmed up, you felt the stares burning into you
Half of you wanted to lift your eyes and rhetorically ask what the hell they were looking at, only feeling more annoyed as you snorted and returned to what you were doing. The other half wanted to fold into yourself until you disappeared (If only it were that easy)
But, you had enough (Roughly, one billion) worries on your mind to put confrontation on the list. Shaking off your anxious shivers as you lowered your head and continued with your “stretches” seemed so much easier
(A.k.a. Staring off into space as you held your limbs in awkward positions)
The time to begin the physical test was drawing near, and your self-doubt hadn’t eased up. Maybe this was a mistake. You didn’t belong here. Not when so many other students could fill the space you’re wasting so much better. Maybe if you slipped through the back now, you’d save yourself the disappointment of not living up to your own standards
“Hey, brown-haired girl! With the horns!”
You heard a gruff whisper from not to far behind you, from the left. You tensed for a moment, wondering what the voice could possibly want from you. But, the sight you saw was rather unexpected
The voice definitely matched the body, bulky and slightly rough looking, a little taller than you. Matched with a sweet face, sharp teeth, and bright, spiky, red hair. The smile he showed you instantly calmed your thoughts
“…Hm?”
You gave a short response, not wanting to jump to conclusions yet
“I saw you looking kinda psyched out over here, so I thought talking to you would make you less nervous!”
You felt a warm and fuzzy sensation in the pit of your stomach. As much encouragement as you got to achieve things, you didn’t see much of it to consider how you felt. How you could feel better. You liked it, which was surprising, considering the encouragement came from a perfect stranger
“Oh, uhh…thanks then. But, I’m fine, I promise! I’m no more nervous than you are.”
“Well, that’s also why I came to talk…I’m kinda freaking out too…”
This boy’s transparency was almost scary, but on the other hand, very comforting. You didn’t catch him trying to stare at your mutated parts once as you talked. Your eyes were the thing he seemed the most focused on, and while it made you embarrassed, it was the good kind (if that makes sense)
But, soon enough, the announcement for the beginning of the exam came over the loudspeaker, and you and your acquaintance had to look out for yourselves. But, before you parted ways, the redhead turned to you
“I’m Eijiro Kirishima, by the way! See you when I see you, Shortie!”
🌳Flourishing Love🌳
The beginning of Kirishima seeing you as a romantic option happened not too long after parting ways at the physical exam
He was almost completely cornered by one of the machines students could disarm for points. And just as that was happening, you had just turned the corner after shaking off another one
You saw Kirishima, but he definitely didn’t see you, trying hard to look tough, but struggling to stand his ground
It quickly dawned on you that Kirishima didn’t have a quirk that could easily deal with the hostile device. And if he did, he was too scared to use it
You vetoed the idea of charging in head on first. You didn’t feel like getting yourself or Kirishima hurt. Especially without a plan. You needed to be smart about getting your only acquaintance out of this situation
Your heart raced and your execution was all but clean, but you ended up using your fire breath to weld the robot’s wheels to the concrete
Before you let your inhibitions get the better of you, you climbed the machine and punched out the camera on the front. From atop the beast, you hung your tail over the edge low enough for Kirishima to grab. You didn’t dare look down at the ground
“Dammit Eijiro, grab on!!”
Once you felt a weight on your tail, you used your wings to propel you both forward. Obviously, away from the robot
You were too high on adrenaline and fear to notice, but Kirishima stared at you like you were the embodiment of Heaven on Earth. The stars in his eyes almost seemed inappropriate for the situation 😅
You looked just as—if not more—afraid than he was. But, you seemed so okay with the fact that you weren’t fearless, and acted like a true hero anyway. He admired, dare I say loved that about you
And he didn’t even know your name
As soon as you found out that you and Kirishima were in the same class, you felt instant relief. At least you were familiar with someone at U.A.
You guys’ friendship developed rather fast, like and extrovert adopting an introvert
Kirishima quickly noticed how fast you opened up once you got comfortable around him, and loved you all the more for how bright and vibrant the unfiltered you was
He found himself picking up on your sense of humor, telling dad jokes you whisper under your breath to the Bakusquad (Much to Bakugou’s dismay 😅)
Don’t worry, he always gives you the credit 😉
As time went on, Kirishima learned to appreciate how blunt you were. He realized that he needed someone to tell it like it is (“It isn’t manly to sugarcoat things! 😤” he says)
And while Kirishima prefers physical activities over video games, he loves to hype you up while you play before classes
It was only natural a mutual crush would form :D
Kirishima finally worked up the guts to ask you out after the U.S.J. Incident
You and him had gotten separated (You had gotten trapped with the cold son of Endeavor. And you both took out the villains with an awe-inspiring display of fire and ice)
Kirishima was faced with the reality that either of you could lose each other at any moment. And while both of you came out alright, he realized he couldn’t be wishy-washy about his feelings for you
He told you on your way to school the next morning:
“Look. What happened yesterday really scared me. Normally, I wouldn’t say that, but I think you deserve to know. Because…you mean a lot to me!! More than I can put into words. I love when we have fun together, and I don’t know what I’d do with myself if I never got to tell you how I felt…”
“Basically…I like you!! Like…in the romantic way…”
Your early morning grumpiness dissipated almost instantly, replaced by momentary confusion and disbelief, then embarrassment and joy. Was this really happening…? The boy that took a chance on you since the beginning, confessed that he had feelings for you…? Even though you didn’t question your relationship, you always assumed the nice things Kirishima said, the way he looked at you, was all part of the pleasantries. You questioned if you were even worth all of that
‘But you are.’ The little voice Kirishima helped you develop said. ‘And he would say more if he didn’t look so embarrassed.’
And so, you accepted Kirishima’s confession. And he saw the sweetest smile you had ever given him since the first time he complimented your puns 😊❤️
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
[🌌 There you go bud! That’s one matchup for the road. Hopefully it lasts for a while, but if it doesn’t, feel free to come back! I’d be thrilled to see you again.🌄] —Reagan

Going in blind: Watching season 2 for the first time. Random thoughts.
Huh. Only 7 episodes. Not complaining necessarily. For series with an ongoing plot I've definitely become more in favor with their seasons only having as many episodes as they need rather than them having to stretch themselves out to full up a certain number of episodes, which can lead to padding and just bad character moments.
Episode 1: Jeez. Catra visiting Shadow Weaver's cell just to rub her success in her face and verbally abuse her back for once. It's like a twisted version of Zuko and Ozai from ATLA. Catra's upbringing under her was abusive but this is far from a healthy way for her to deal with it. She's basically deliberately swimming in her resentment.
Episode 2: It's not that I'm rooting for her but by-golly was it fun to watch Catra act like just the absolute worst she could while she was Glimmer and Bow's captive.
I touched on this in season 1 but part of the drama of the heroes feeling guilt over leaving Entrapta behind is kind of lost on me a bit simply because it was her own fault it happened. She deliberately went back into the purge room because of her machine obsession, which then closed on her and erupted in flames. It was more than reasonable to assume she was dead and no one but her was to blame, so I'm not really able to be invested in their guilt over it.
That said, weirdly enough I do like that her "abandonment" doesn't seem to be even a blip on the radar for Entrapta herself. She hasn't joined the horde because she resents the heroes or felt left behind, she simply is so obsessed with machines and experimentation that she'll be on the side of whoever lets her do the most of that. Like, it's selfish and irresponsible but it's very in-character and I'd far rather have a traitor motivation be based in that over something stupid like a misunderstanding.
Episode 3: I love the mental image of Shadow Weaver thinking up princess-themed ghost stories to tell Adora as a child.
So, if the previous She-Ra Mara separated Eternia from the other realms/planets/whatever she did and that's what cut off the She-Ra line for 1000 years, I'm guessing Hordak may be from the time before that happened, thus his drive to create portals and calling Eternia a backwards world. Either he's naturally long-lived or his technology is extending his life.
Episode 4: You know, you could maybe argue it was vague enough that it could be taken other ways but I'm definitely getting some vibes here that Scorpia is crushing on Catra. She literally refers to the two of them as soulmates at one point. I know she says she's trying to be friends but this feels a level beyond that.
Fun little reference to the original She-Ra cartoon thrown in there (and maybe Cowboy Bebop...? James Bond...? What was Glimmer's art style supposed to be?). I like how it is more like just playful ribbing than anything outright dumping on the original. Again, I've never seen original She-Ra but whenever remakes/adaptations go out of their way to trash to the original I always kind of wonder why they bothered doing an adaptation if the original is just that bad? Also, I was having trouble sleeping so it was about 2am when I watched this episode and the very Eartha Kitt Catwoman Catra made it very difficult for me not to lose my **** and stay quiet. With how much of a contrast that version is from the one in this series, that was hilarious. Bonus note, it's a nice touch that Frosta's version of Catra is a pretty crasher in that sweet suit, since that's the only impression of Catra she's ever had.
Adora being a chosen one is definitely elevated up simply by how much the pressure of what she's supposed to be is getting to her. I'm likely going to keep making Avatar The Last Airbender comparisons throughout the series but that's partly because I went into this series figuring it'd be at least structured similar to ATLA (season 1 being more episodic and a little more kid-friendly as it builds up the world before getting more serious later). Adora and Aang are interesting to compare here. Aang's worries early on were less apparent because he was more in-denial/choosing not to think about his problems that much, which fit with his character as a free-spirited Air Nomad. While Adora is much more military-minded. She can't keep herself from thinking about her problems and trying to prepare for the worst-case scenario. And jeez, that idea of who/how Catra is in her mind. Not only beating her but making her watch as she takes everything she cares about away. Not Shadow Weaver, not Lord Hordak, but Catra. That whole Lion King Mufasa/Scar moment between them in episode 11 and their fight in the S1 finale really did a number on her mental image of her old friend. Not reasonably so.
Minor note: I'm sure I'm the only one who got this impression but by the look of it, the way the robot's eye moved, and the music, after getting the soda spilled on it that little spybot gained sentience for half a second and then immediately died. It was so darkly comedic I had to laugh.
Episode 5: So that red disc is basically She-Ra's Red Kryptonite, having an effect on the mind rather than the body. The drunk Adora joke doesn't really do it for me but it did get some nice interactions going between Scorpia and Sea Hawk, two characters I certainly wasn't expecting to bond. I did really like Catra's panic when berserker She-Ra nearly beheads her. The implication is that is Adora really wanted to kill her Catra would already probably be dead. It's a thing I like about powerhouse characters like Superman or Aang, who could just demolish everything around them and don't simply because they're a good person...which in turn makes them the scariest person on the planet when they're well and truly ticked off. I'm not going to lie, I do kind of want to see a She-Ra version of Aang when Appa was stolen or when Superman fought The Elite.
Also, Catra's line of "I have control over Adora. I'm not giving that up for anything.". There's a lot to read into there.
Episode 6: I guess my prediction was sort of right. Shadow Weaver became basically a magic parasite and while it did increase the power she's capable of the implication seems to be that she needs a constant fix of magic to keep herself going, thus her attachment to the Black Garnet.
Have we seen Micah before? Given how long ago the flashback seems set, the fact that Shadow Weaver didn't kill him and thus he probably becomes someone important later in life, I'm guessing he's Glimmer's dad and the queen's late husband, since I think he's the only important male character whose face we haven't seen yet. Also, he's voice by Ezra from Star Wars Rebels and that cracks me up for some reason. It's the exact same voice and a relatively similar character.
I compared Catra and Shadow Weaver with a kind of twisted version of Zuko and Ozai and that definitely still fits here. Both Catra and Zuko confront their parent and call them out for the inexcusable abuse they put them through but while that moment was the start of Zuko's upwards journey this and SW's betrayal seems like it's going to cause Catra to spiral even further. Makes sense why Adora leaving affected her so much. She's probably the only one Catra's ever had that she could consistently trust and rely on, even if she did somewhat resent her.
Not surprised Hordak is getting along with Entrapta. She's not socially aware enough to be scared or intimidated by him, so she'll speak frankly, and since all she wants to talk about is the machines, experiments, and how they could get them to work Hordak probably doesn't take much issue with that. She's producing results, which is what he cares about, thus also why Shadow Weaver and Catra started losing favor with him. I wonder if Catra is going through imposter syndrome? Shadow Weaver had that line that Entrapta earned her place next to Hordak and, if you think about it, Catra hasn't really "earned" anything. We saw that she didn't really take her training or studies that seriously, showing up late to combat practice and even getting partial credit for what Adora beat. She wasn't promoted to Force Captain because of her own abilities but because Adora had defected when she was supposed to get that title. She's come close to a few victories but never really had any except for Glimmer and Bow's kidnapping...whom she then basically let escape when she returned Adora's sword to her. She doesn't have the slightest clue how the horde's bureaucracy works when trying to get things done, like simply getting troops armor. Given how much better than her Adora always was and how little she herself has to her name, I wonder is subconsciously Catra believes she doesn't deserve her current position and thus why she's fretting so much over trying to prove herself.
Episode 7: Am I mistaken or did Bow's parents say that he's the youngest of TWELVE siblings? I was going to ask whether Bow was adopted or if his dad's used a surrogate or if maybe there's even just simply magic in She-Ra's world that allows two people of the same sex to have a child together but now I'm just focused on the 12 kids thing. I get nervous just imagining myself having more than one. You should see me when I'm with two cats. I have to pet both of them because I'd feel like I'd be making one feel left out and like the other is the favorite. I'm a mess with kids.
The dad with dreadlocks (Lance?), his design looked familiar to me and I finally realized it reminded me a of a fanart design for a human Grim from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Very different voices between those two characters though.
I wonder if there's any significance to the robot protecting the crystal having the same design as those in the artic in episode 5? Obviously both have the connection to the First Ones but the robot in the forest who was also protecting First Ones' tech had a more insect-like design over these more worm/Graboid ones.
I'm kind of curious what Hordak would have done if Catra had told the truth. Given his interactions with her and Shadow Weaver he doesn't seem like the time to tolerate failure but I suppose the implication here is that he at least would respect those who own up to their failures. Or I suppose more simply he was just testing to see if she would lie to him and since she did there's little merit in keeping her in a position of authority anymore where she could lie about important things again.
Season 2 verdict: Still enjoying it. Another person on this reddit recommended I view seasons 2 and 3 as one since they are basically just one season split in two. I was going to do that but this ended up longer than I thought I would, so I'll just do 2 and 3 separate to keep them semi-organized and easier to read.
I think overall Catra is my favorite character since she has the most interesting backstory, interactions, and just general path through the story out of everyone. She's like Pearl from Steven Universe or, well, Zuko. There's just so much baggage there that she's trying and kind of failing to deal with. I'm always invested in whatever's happening when she's onscreen. Hordak so far is a good big boss villain for Adora to face but Catra is a good archenemy for her.

summary : first, once again, i suck at summaries. Kaz meets a friend of Nina’s that he didn’t know about who is more like him than anyone else he’s ever met and that scares him more than he’d like.
It's a relaxing evening at the slat, or at least as much as it can be in Ketterdam. All the crows were sitting around a table talking and having a great night, even Kaz. He won't show it but he enjoys nights like this more than he'd like to admit. Nina and Jesper were laughing and talking about who knows what while Matthais sat with a loving smile on his face, Wylan and Inej sat talking about his newest tests, and Kaz sat just listening and watching, enjoying the time with his friends; his family. "Oh, Kaz! My friend is supposed to stop by tonight and drop off some things I asked her for so don't be surprised if we get a knock soon." Nina mentions. "You have friends?" He sarcastically said. "For a matter of fact, I do. She's amazing, I think you should meet her. She'd be a great addition to the crows. She's a fabrickator, both a Durast and an Alkemi. She is also the smartest person I've ever met, and the best fighter too. I've watched her and Matthais spar and she took him down in seconds easily. She's insanely good, Kaz. She'd be a great asset to the team. I think you'd like her too, she has similar interests among other stuff." She explains. Kaz thought for a moment before responding. "We'll see if I agree with you once I meet her." Nina thanks him with a smile and goes back to her conversation.
Kaz wasn't sure how he felt about the thought of bringing someone else onto the team. It was another person who could betray him, another person he could get attached to, another weakness. Not just anyone can join the crows, they had to earn it.
About half an hour later there was a knock at the slat door. Nina excitedly hopped up to get it. "It's her!" The heartrender almost squealed. The door opened to a girl, probably about 5'6 who has (H/L), (H/C) hair. She was gorgeous with a button nose that supported her thin-rimmed glasses, full lips, striking (E/C) eyes, and a curvy figure. She was wearing a tight green turtle neck, black pants, boots, and carrying a satchel on her shoulder. Kaz swears he almost felt himself stop breathing. The feeling he got when he saw her, despite not knowing her, scared him in a way he didn't like. He decided to push it down and continue on with the night.
Nina invited the girl inside with a smile that was returned by her. The girls walked back to the table where the rest of the group sat. "Y/N, the crows, the crows, Y/N." She introduced them all. Multiple greetings were heard around the table from everyone except Kaz of course. Y/N shyly waved with a soft smile. "I brought those things you asked about," Y/N said quickly changing the subject. She opened her bag and pulled out 3 boxes and set them on the table. She opened the first one which held a seemingly normal knife. "Here's the knife you asked about with the poison injection abilities. There are three vials in the box and there's one in the handle already. It injects a few drops upon impact, it’s potent so it will kill someone with just a few drops." Y/N said showing how to open the handle and where the vial was. She proceeded to open the next box that was full of bullets. "These are the bullets that explode upon impact you asked about." She said before setting them back down. You could see Inej eyeing up the knife and Jesper doing the same to the bullets. She finally opened the last box which revealed 7 sets of earpieces. "These are the earpieces, they have microphones in them to communicate from long distances." She almost mumbled, obviously nervous around all the people. Kaz had been watching the girl in shock the whole time she spoke. Nina didn't lie, she was insanely talented and would be a good asset.
"You're the best Y/N!" Nina exclaimed, making a quick movement to go to hug the girl. She quickly stopped when Y/N flinched slightly. No one else besides Y/N, Nina, and Kaz had realized it with everyone else too busy looking at the new gear. "Shit, fuck I'm sorry Y/N it was a mistake." Nina started apologizing profusely. "Nina, it's fine. Mistakes happen. I'm just a freak anyway." She said quietly. Kaz felt his heart clench at that. She was like him, she was anything but a freak though. "Anyway, I should probably get going." She said, staring at her feet. "You should stay for a while, meet everyone." Nina tried to convince her. Y/N was obviously apprehensive. "You should stay," Kaz said before he could stop himself. Both Nina and Y/N turned towards him quickly. Nina had a shocked look on her face, surprised that Dirtyhands would ever suggest that he wanted someone to stay. She thought for a second and smiled slightly and nodded.
The girl sat down at the last empty chair at the table, which happened to be next to Kaz. She immediately pulled into herself out of habit, bringing on her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around it, making herself as small as possible. Jesper and Inej immediately started asking questions about their new tools to which Y/N answered gladly. Kaz watched them contently, especially Y/N. She looked really happy talking about what she loved. Soon the conversations turned away from solely her after the crows had their fill of integrating. "Kaz, Y/N is the most knowledgeable person I've met about books, you guys have that in common," Nina mentions. Y/N glances at him with a soft smile. Everything about her made Kaz's fight or flight kick in. She was weirdly comforting but at the same time kicked on every instinct he had. He felt the need to run but also never move again. "What's your favorite genre of books?" Y/N asked the boy. Kaz missed having someone to talk to about interests like this, the rest of the crows weren't into things like this. Trying to make him comfortable she answers first. "I tend to read realistic fiction or fantasy." Kaz studied her face constantly looking for any signs that she wasn't genuine. "I like fantasy or mystery books." He answers. She gets a huge smile. He liked that, she had a genuine smile, that's rare in the barrel. Her smile was slightly lopsided and full of joy. "Mysteries are the best, I'm always on the edge of my seat. Sometimes I feel like I can't put the book down even when I have stuff to get done." She laughs. Kaz almost felt himself smirk. "Those are the best ones." He answers genuinely. "I just finished this amazing book, it's about the story of Achilles but from the point of view of Patroclus. It's called the song of Achilles and it's amazing." She says with a smile. "I'll have to borrow it sometime." He says. At that moment the two of them weren't even paying attention to the crows around them anymore, so they didn't see the knowing look from Nina.
The group all continued to talk and have a good time. Everyone liked Y/N a lot. Nina was accurate in her description of her. She was super smart and sweet. At one point they were talking about combat strategies and she was asked "What's the quickest way to win a fight?" by Jesper. Matthias let out a loud snort at that question, knowing the brunette's skills. "Are we talking immobilizing or killing? Those are two different answers." She says with a smirk. The girl had come out of her shell within the past hour and had grown more comfortable around the group. "Both?" Jesper said, confused. "For immobilization, the quickest way is to slice their Achilles tendon on the back of their ankle, if you do that they're not moving. Also, you always go for the eyes, nose, and groin, and if you use the bottom of the palm of your hand you can shatter someone's nose since that's the strongest part of your hand. Besides the Achilles tendon, the other easiest way if you know how to do it is there's a nerve on the side of your neck that if you squeeze right, knocks them out. Then if the purpose is killing you go for the neck, wrist, or thigh because that's where your main arteries are." She said matter of factly. Kaz almost laughed at how the girl said it.
That was the start of it all. Shortly after this first meeting Y/N started coming around more and more and everyone loved her, including Kaz. Kaz had started having more than friendly feelings towards her a couple months after meeting. The crows were eventually able to convince her to join so she was now living at the slat, making Kaz’s life a living hell. He felt like his heart was beating out of his chest constantly, and he knew that Nina knew this too with her heartrender skills. Nina was constantly giving him knowing looks and all he did was glare back at her. Kaz was drawn to her like no one else.
The two of them had become close over the last year, closer than most. They would often sit and talk for hours, a lot of times about books or anything else that came to their minds. Y/N was often like lightning in a bottle, constantly moving and going a million miles an hour. She seemed hyper and impulsive on the outside but Kaz knew she was very strategic and methodical. She was insanely smart, which she often used to her advantage to beat Kaz in chess to his dismay. Both parties had developed feelings for each other but both were too scared to tell the other because they’re idiots but the universe was going to find a way to get them together.
The heist the crows had tonight was insanely important. The group was supposed to go to a merchant party because while the merchant and everyone else was distracted they were going to steal a necklace that was held in the wife’s vanity room. The necklace was worth an insane amount of money so the crows took the task right away.
The only problem with the heist was that Y/N and Kaz had to be the two who had to fake being a couple at the party to keep the merchant distracted so the others could get the necklace. “We have to do what?” Y/N exclaimed when she found out her role. She felt her chest clench at the thought of being around that many people. “I need Inej on the roofs, Jesper on the ground as backup, Wylan as a waiter ready to cause a distraction if need be, and Nina and Mattaius getting the necklace so we’re the only two left.” Kaz grumbles, obviously not happy about the situation either. Both of them sucked it up for the money.
The night of the heist Y/N was the last to be ready since she had to wear a dress and makeup. She stepped down the stairs to where the crows were waiting. As soon as she stepped into the room there were joking whistles and screams from all the crows except Kaz. Kaz stood there in shock, his breath taken away. Emma was wearing a black dress with stars on it, a simple pair of black heels, several pieces of silver moon and star jewelry and finally topping it off with a few moon and star hair pins pinning back some of her hair. She looked gorgeous.
As they got closer and closer to the party both Y/N and Kaz became increasingly more nervous. “We don’t have to touch.” She says breaking the silence between them as they were dragging behind the group. “We have to and we both know it. If we don’t touch like a couple they’ll become suspicious. I know neither of us like touch but we’ll have to deal with it.” Kaz quickly responds, his voice rigid. She just nodded, not wanting to make this night worse.
Everyone got in their positions as soon as they made it to the house, leaving Kaz and Y/N near the entrance. Kaz hesitantly grabs her hand; he was shocked when he did. He didn’t panic as much as he thought. Kaz’s aversion was worse than Y/N’s for sure since hers was mainly quick movements and things related to abuse but Kaz’s was any kind of touch. All he felt was Jordie when he touched anyone, the stench of the air, the cold water around him, the stiff body he was clenching on to. He didn’t immediately drown touching her though, he felt the waters come up but they stopped, going no further.
As the two of them continued through the night the touches became easier and more frequent, it almost felt...real. Both of them deep inside wished it was. They wished the other loved them back. The two of them got many compliments throughout the night on how cute they were and questions about how they met among other things. The way Kaz would wrap his arm around her waist made her heart stop, the way Y/N put her hand on his shoulder and smiled at him did the same to Kaz.
Once Nina and Mattaius got the necklace everyone made their way back to the slat. Everyone was happy and ready to celebrate a successful heist except for Kaz and Y/N. They had a tension that wouldn’t go away. Both knew they’d have to talk about it or it’d ruin further heists but neither wanted to make the first move. So once they got to the slat both of them lingered at the door after everyone else. “Can-” “We should-” they both went to say at the same time. They couldn’t help but laugh at how in tune they were. “We need to talk about things.” Y/N says. “I know.” Kaz says, anxiety in his voice. “I like you Kaz.” the girl states plainly, shocking the bastard of the barrel. He couldn’t say the words he wanted to but he had to say something. “Yes.” was all he could manage out. It would sound stupid to anyone else but to Y/N and Kaz they both knew what that meant. “I can never touch you like you might want though.” He says anxiously. “Kaz, I have just as much of an issue with touch as you. Physical affection isn’t something I need in a relationship. If we really want to, we can work on our aversions together.” She answers with a comforting smile. Kaz nods,knowing she's right. “So together?” Kaz questions, trying to confirm that she is his and he is hers. She nods with a smile.
That was the start of it all. The start of the King and Queen of Ketterdam, taking it over together.

Spidey Senses (pt. 4)
Peter Parker x reader
Summary: You and your friends prepare to go to a costume party, and Peter has conflicting feelings.
Word Count: 2917
Chapter 1 • Chapter 3 • Chapter 5
Peter stayed up at night thinking about you. He couldn't explain it. You were the only one on his mind for some unexplainable reason. The hotel room was the first time in a while you two slept together, and it was different from how he remembered. It didn't feel like sleeping in the same room with a sister that he slightly remembered as a kid. It made him feel weird.
You were so warm. You had your natural smell you always had, but it smelled a lot better than he remembered. A lot more calming. He could sense your happiness at full prime, and your sad ones too. You had a lot of happy emotions earlier this day, both in the hotel room and during the fight. It was hard to describe, but spending the day with you made him feel so warm.
And you and Tony's friendship. Peter did always love your sarcastic side, and he was so proud of you for showing it to Tony. You were so awesome. He's always thought you were awesome. So why did you feel different right now?
You were weirdly a lot prettier in his mind. His spidey sense was buzzing around you. He felt happy when you laughed. The feeling was still lingering by just thinking about it. And when you had your nightmare, he felt almost in physical pain himself.
Maybe it's just your spidey senses clashing with each other. Maybe it's the puberty kicking in? It's probably nothing. He just needs to go to sleep... Anytime now...
The next morning Peter ate his breakfast in a daze. "What's wrong Peter?" Aunt May asked. You're all spaced out."
"I don't know. Just thinking."
"Uh oh." She teased as he sat down. "About what? That Liz girl?"
"No. Y/n actually." He didn't realize how misleading that came out.
"Well finally. I was wondering when you'd realize your feelings for her."
"What?! Aunt May, no! That's not what I meant at all."
"Oh." She blankly said. "Then forget everything I just said. Have a nice day at school."
Meanwhile, you woke up back in your empty apartment with no excitement. As you ate your breakfast in silence, you felt like an idiot. How could you be so rude to Tony Stark? He was being nice in his own way. What the hell is wrong with you?
Your landlord then knocked on your door, giving you a huge suitcase and telling you that it was left for you by someone named Happy. You thanked him and opened it. It was clothing. A bunch of nice, expensive looking clothing. They were weirdly your style; they weren't flashy and didn't show off any brands. There was a card as well.
Hey kid. I might've came across as a rich jerk. That's not what I meant to be. Here's a little something so you don't look homeless. You're welcome. Also, here's Happy's number. Xxx-xxx-xxxx. Don't still be mad at me. Nobody likes a petty person. And besides, you're my favorite "other kid". Keep in touch. -TS
You smiled and put on a pair of clothes, texting Happy to thank Tony and for Happy to keep you posted about Tony and him.
You then walked to Peter's, waiting on the steps as usual. You smiled when he stepped out, and to your surprise, he just began to walk straight ahead instead of saying anything. "Woah, Peter wait up. You okay?"
"Uh, yeah. Think so." He only gave you a glance.
"If you wanna talk, you know I'm all ears." You offered, and he took another glance at your beautiful smile, only making him more nervous.
"No, no it's okay. I'm okay."
"Oh." You quietly said. He was being so weird to you. Why wouldn't he look at you? "I didn't do anything, did I?"
"No!" He said too quickly.
"You can be honest with me Peter. I hope you know that." You only looked down, and he held his gaze to you for the first time today. "I'm really sorry if I did something. I just hope we can fix it so things won't be weird."
"What? No, I swear you don't need to worry. It's really not you. It's me. I'm... Going through puberty. Seeing things and people, uh, differently. Sorry if I'm being weird." His voice cracked on the word weird.
You giggled. "Oh. That's totally okay. I wonder if your spidey senses are out of wack from it."
"My what?"
"Your spidey senses. That's what I'm calling it. Aunt May calls it something else though, I just forgot what."
"No, you don't need to repeat what she calls it!"
You were genuinely curious. "Why not? Maybe it's a better name for us to—"
"I'm not letting you call it that!" He cut you off. Peter would be damned if you called your instinctive feelings your Peter Tingle. "I like spidey senses. It's cool and cute. Now what do you mean by it being out of wack?"
You figured if Aunt May's nickname for your sixth sense was truly that embarrassing for him then he wouldn't tell you, so you just dropped it.
"I was just wondering if your powers gets affected by puberty."
"How, how did you deal with puberty and your powers?"
"Oh, I started my period long before the spider bite. That could've been so sucky." He made a face, and you chuckled. "Right, no p word. Sorry."
"It's fine. Just don't want to think about it."
You sighed. "Me neither. I wish I had that option."
He smiled as his eyes drifted towards your clothes. "Did Mr. Stark get you those?"
You looked down at your outfit. "Yeah actually. I guess I didn't scare him off after all."
"I guess not." You nudged each other's arm to tease. "I have the check he made to you. I think you should take it. It could make him happy."
"Yeah, okay. Thanks Peter. You always have my back."
As he stared at your smile and sensed your happiness, he had that weird feeling in him again. What was it? It didn't matter. Peter was going to push away those feelings and focus on school, Liz, and Spiderman.
Later on that day you got a text from Happy, saying that Tony accepts your apology, and to fill in on what's going on once a week for him and Tony. You did, and you could tell he cared. He would sometimes tell you a little something about his day or week. He was indeed becoming a good friend.
A few months passed and you and Peter adjusted to your new superhero lives well together. You and Happy texted each other at least once a week, and gave Peter Happy's number out of request. Tony was given information Happy thought he should know, and Tony was secretly happy to be hearing about how well you and Peter were doing. It made him feel like he was protecting you two from a distance.
One day at lunch Flash came up to you and began to gross you out yet again. "Hey girl, what're you doing next Friday night?"
"I don't know. I might take an extra shift at work. Not everybody has a silver spoon down their throats." You had a hint of annoyance to your words.
"Are you saying you need someone like me to take care of you?"
"I'm saying I might have to work because I actually earn the things I get in life Flash."
"Well not when you're someone like me you doesn't really have to worry about working hard on things. It comes naturally." He leaned on the table and shoved away Peter's backpack that was a seat holder, causing you to throw him a dirty look.
"What were you going to ask me Flash?" You kept your voice calm.
"Just wanted to know if you were coming to my party next Friday. Y'know, maybe show up to see me."
"I would never go anywhere to see you Flash."
"C'mon, I'm rich, you got a nice body, let's make other people jealous. I can make some dreams come true. It's not like you don't need the money."
"You didn't even care that I existed until a few months ago." You glared at him. This was a proper asshole. Now you knew.
"That's because it was when you started wearing better clothes. Now that I know there's a hottie under all that nerd, I can get behind it."
"The answer is no. Leave me alone!" You said a little more forcefully. People were beginning to stare, and Flash's face became red. No one said no to him.
"Okay, what's it gonna take to get you there?" He leaned in and asked quietly.
"Is anyone from Mathletes gonna come?"
"Yeah. I invited Liz and she told some other people in the club to come."
"Then I'll only go if I can bring Ned and Peter."
He scoffed. "Yeah, I guess."
"Okay then. We'll be there." He sighed in relief. Nobody says no to him, and still haven't.
Your annoyed expression forced itself to a barely there smile when Peter and Ned walked to your table. "Why was Flash talking to you?" Ned asked.
"I guess we're going to a party next Friday." Peter looked confused while Ned couldn't be more happy.
"Oh my God We can be, like, cool now!"
"Why would you say yes to a party from Flash?" Peter asked.
"Liz will be there." Peter's body language changed. "It's a costume party, so you guys find yourselves something to wear."
"You say it like your not going." Peter said, slightly disappointed.
"I'll probably go to make an appearance and leave." You said as you stared at your school food.
"But it won't be the same without you." Peter frowned and shook his head.
"Peter's actually pretty true about that." Ned contently nodded.
"I just don't want to go there. That's it."
"Why are you short today?" Peter blankly asked. What's wrong?"
"Nothing." You said. You then got up and dumped your food in the trash. "I'm gonna go to the restroom. Bye."
As you quickly walked off, Mj spoke up from the other end of the table. "You two are idiots."
"What did we do?" Ned sceptically asked.
"It's what Flash did. It's obvious that he said something to make her feel like crap. When is he not a rich narcissist?" Peter shot up and quickly went after you by hearing that.
"He's an even bigger idiot." Mj said.
"Yeah, but he'll figure it out someday." Ned shrugged, getting up and going after you too.
You got to the bathroom and put a bunch of paper towels on the corner of the floor. You set your backpack on the floor and sat down. You take out your phone and send a text to Happy, not really knowing who else to talk to. You usually only text him to give each other check ups, rarely actually communicating back and forth.
You: What do you do when a rich asshole makes you feel like you're worth shit?
You stared at your phone and scoffed. Don't be stupid. He's busy. You put your head in your knees. Why do people still get to you? Liz has a ton of money. You wondered if she ever had anything to be ashamed about.
People only started looking at you once you started wearing the clothes Tony got you. Most weren't even revealing at all, they just looked expensive. This was a different feeling. You used to feel ugly and invisible. Now you just feel like a piece of meat. You couldn't tell which feeling was worse. You then heard a buzz.
Bestie: What's his name? I swear I can scare the living crap out of him.
You smiled. He did care. You then saw another message.
Bestie: Also watch your language
You giggled.
You: You didn't answer my question
Bestie: Sometimes you just have to be the bigger person. Once they realize who's actually better, you get both their pride and your better life.
Looks like you really did have a friend.
You: Thanks Happy
Bestie: You didn't answer my question
You grinned.
You: Just some guy at school
You: Doesn't matter
You: I feel better now
Bestie: Good
Bestie: And I don't care what you say, Tony's going to be hearing about this.
You: Ugh traitor
It was embarrassing, but it wasn't like Tony would actually do anything. It's not like he'd drop everything and fly out here. He's a busy man, he's got more to worry about than you being bullied.
"Y/n, are you in there?" Peter asked from the other side of the door.
"We came to see if you were okay." Ned chimed in. You got up and went outside, looking at them confused. "I had to convince Peter not to barge in. I think those two girls passing by think we're creeps now."
"Aww you guys looked like peepers for me?" You pulled them in for a group hug. "I'm fine now. Thanks though."
Ned then spoke up again. "Are you still gonna leave us at the party? Cause we totally understand if–"
"If you guys want me to go, I'll go." They both hugged you again.
After school you walked to Delmar's Deli-Grocery. "Hey Del."
"Llegas una hora antes prima. No te pago horas extras." He said, his back turned.
("You're an hour early cousin. I'm not paying you overtime." He said, his back turned.)
"Relax primo, I'm just gonna do some homework in the back before my shift."
As you did, Delmar called for you. "Prima, someone's here to see you."
"Who is it, Peter?" You asked as you walked out. You then saw Tony stare at you with an unreadable face. "Damnit."
"Why does he call you that?"
"What?"
"Primuh– whatever. Why does he call you that?"
"It's a nickname."
"What does it mean?"
"It means cousin."
"So you two are related?"
"No, we're just that close."
"Can I call you that?"
"Can you pronounce it correctly?"
"Ouch."
"So what's up Mr. Stark."
"I thought it was just Tony."
"I don't know. It's a little unprofessional."
"Do we only have a professional friendship?"
"Are we even friends?"
"You tell me. You stole Happy from me apparently."
"Aye, it's like a mom's new boyfriend trying to get her kid's trust." Delmar said in the back.
"Little loud back there Del." You said.
"Happy told me about this kid. Does he mess with you a lot?"
"He messes with Peter more."
"You didn't answer me."
"Yeah, maybe. Is that really why you came out here?"
He furrowed his brows. "Is that hard to believe?"
"Um, yeah?"
"I've seen a ton of bullies as Iron Man, and I take things like this seriously."
You let out a breathy chuckle. "Tony that's war fare and alien stuff. This is just highschool."
"So? I don't take kindly to people who mess with my friends."
You couldn't stop the smile from coming to your face. Did you really just make friends with some important middle aged men? The thought was laughable. "So, will that be all Mr. Stark?"
"You know I don't like that. Stop." You giggled. "You didn't tell Happy what was going on with you this week."
You shrugged. "I guess I'm going to a costume party next Friday. It's gonna be at the ass wipe's house."
"See, I can do something about that. Okay, I got a date with Pep in a few hours so I'll see you and Peter tomorrow."
"Wait what? Why?"
"Um, so you two can get into costume design and later fitting? Whoever that kid is will be jealous of your costume, and you get to wear a cute couple costume with Peter."
"Happy told me I should just be the bigger person." You teased.
"Yeah, and you will be by being the better dressed person." He smiled at you.
"I knew you had a crush on Peter." Delmar said at the counter. You gave him a dirty look. He glanced at his watch. "You're 2 minutes late. Hurry up."
"Alright, that's my cue." Tony said. "Nice clothes by the way."
"Thanks." You said cheerfully. "My friend gave them to me."
"Wow he had good taste. Well, see you tomorrow kid." And with that he left.
You went to the back and caught the apron Delmar harshly threw at you. He gave you an intense stare. "What?"
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you take a job like this when you're hanging around billionaires?"
"I like this job. And I'm not a gold digger. He's just really persistent and there's no point of arguing."
"I should fire you for arguing with me so much." He called out.
"Keep it up and I'll stop covering some of your shifts."
"Mmh." He rolled his eyes and you contently smiled, starting work.
Later on that night you suited up, going to Peter's apartment and crawling up to his window. You opened it and crawled on the wall, closing the window. You hopped to the floor and pulled off your mask. "Peter, we need to talk. Tony just saw me today and–"
You stared face to face with a panic looking Peter in his boxers and a surprised Ned.

Author Note: Just so everybody knows this is my own au where Peter accidentally sent the video of you two to May and had a very interesting phone call with the both of you. I totally forgot to write this and just wrote this message after I posted this chapter. Maybe I'll make a little short of that idk.
