idk if ur reqs are open rn but i was thinking maybe.. a titanic au with mingyu? hehe.. i love angst. honestly it's up to you to twiddle around with the plot but mingyu as jack dawson.. my mouth is watering rn BUT LIKE HE DOESN'T DIE YK AAAA what am i doing
Iâm genuinely sorry this is now a headcanon fic. I cannot for the life of me string this into a coherent story. also real sorry 1) it's not angst 2) it took so long :'))
divider credit
right so
this is a strangers 2 lovers type beat
also modern-day cruise so it passes all the safety checks (no dying here)
oh gyu is on the boat with hao because theyâre on a cruise with a friend group and y/nâs on the cruise with her family
gyuâs just like âUgh why cruise? thereâs no internet or whatever. with the same amount of money, I couldâve gone to Italy.â
y/nâs like âOmg cruise!!! I love young Leonardo Dicaprio!!!â
they bump into each other at like the swimming pool deck and y/nâs like âWhy are you so grumpy? Itâs a cruise!"
and heâs like âItâs a cruise. youâre stuck on a ship miles away from land. Have you seen the Titanic?? we can drown and die!!!!â
to which y/nâs like âBro I fucking love the Titanic. I want to do all the Titanic things minus the r21 parts and the dying parts.â
heâs like âRecreating Titanic? I guess thatâs not so bad. Do you need some help?â and y/nâs all âomg please I donât want to recreate them with my family membersâ
titanic is where âyou jump, I jumpâ came from right? cause I can totally imagine y/n and mingyu doing this at the cruiseâs pool just before they dive in
âIf you jump, Iâm gonna have to jump in after you.â
mingyu is saying this to y/n because theyâre on the diving board and y/n is too scared to jump, so he brings up that line.
y/nâs surprised he knows the exact lines âI thought you said the Titanic was stupidâ âWell, Leonardo Dicaprio was hotâ and with that, she manages to steel herself for the jump and goes âWell, if you jump then Iâll jump, right?â and then they jump together
(meanwhile, hao's watching on the sidelines like "... that is not how the movie goes but okay" hao is waiting for his turn to jump behind them)
They hear that thereâs a caricature artist on board and mingyuâs like âI canât draw very well, but we can pay this guy to draw us?â âneat. a souvenir!â (they go up to him and mingyuâs flabbergasted that itâs hao because remember: he doesnât actually work there; heâs also a passenger, but heâs so bored out of his mind that he started drawing and people were noticing that he was drawing and going up to him like âomg artist?? can you draw us????â so heâs like hmm sure ig more money for me)
(i know it's dumb but hao was just this random character that keeps popping up no matter what they do. breakfast? he happens to be sitting at the table they pick. pool? he happens to be tanning there when they stroll past and she almost trips into the pool. drawing? he's the artist. photos? he might as well.)
yes so they do the whole âking of the world!!â and theyâre getting another kind passenger to take a picture of them (not hao). he still has an arm around her waist when she takes back the phone from the passenger and the passenger goes âoh to be young and in love again. you guys are such a cute couple!â y/nâs cheeks are red and itâs not because she forgot to reapply sunscreen
he leans over y/nâs shoulder to peek at the phone. âcan i see?â y/n is suddenly hyper aware of his close proximity and sheâs gone super still as heâs scrolling through the photos.
and then he selects all the photos he likes and airdrops them to himself
mingyu: "do you know what else jack and rose did while they were at the top deck? "
y/n, whispering, well aware that jack took roseâs first kiss (idk thatâs what wiki said): "i donât remember all of a sudden"Â
mingyu, leaning in: they kissed
ok so thereâs a bar on the ship and haoâs asking gyu to come because âbro the cruise is gonna end (it literally just started) and you still havenât gotten your moneyâs worth of boozeâ so gyu naturally invites y/n. sheâs skeptical at first but he goes âdidnât (jack and rose) go dancing too?â she relents and so she goes with him and gyu is just STARSTRUCK at how pretty y/n is even at day ?? of being out at sea
when mingyu and y/n disembark from the ship after the week was over, and mingyu realises that for all the time they spent together they did not exchange numbers At All so he RUNS. the hug when they found each other is so cute. like, it's peak romance.Â
i want that.

Success story ig
So last week I received an email from my bank saying I needed to renew my student account before December 1st by showing them my school timetable to confirm I am still in school. And like the nearest bank to me is 30 mins walk so it's a bit far, and I don't really use the public bus. So obviously I didn't want to go, but at that time I literally forgot about manifestions and that I can just manifest that I dont need to go. So I made the plan to just go tomorrow November 30 and get it over with. So tomorrow came and I was soo tired because I only had 4 hrs of sleep and had to wake up @6am for school so when I got back I just wanted to sleep for the whole day, but then I remember I had to go to the bank and was so frustrated. So but as I was scrolling through the notifications on phone, I saw that I had received an email from the bank and in the email they said that the message they sent telling me to renew by account was an error and I dont actually need to. And I didn't even think too much about it, was just kinda like cool so now I get to sleep. But today as I was thinking about it, I just realized that that was probably a success story because I didn't want to go to the bank and so therefore didn't.
But the thing that confuses me is that I never manifested to not go to the bank. like I didn't want to go but I also didn't manifest that I won't go, I was even planning to leave to go to the bank when I got the email so like how did it happen. Maybe my sc ?đ€ I remember @id18297 talking about how sometimes we can just think about something and it happens without us even trying to manifest it.
creation is finished! that's why sometimes things just happen without you putting any effort. and it's your sc too!

History 3 Trapped Filming Diary (full English translation) - Days 1-10
Just before you start reading, a little note of explanation: the author of this diary will frequently use the characterâs name when they mean the actor. I have added the names of the actors between square brackets sometimes to avoid confusion. Also between square brackets you will find some words that are implied, so I added them in the translation to make the translation a bit smoother, but they arenât included in the Chinese text.Â
The bookâs author will also talk in the first person POV sometimes, refering to themselves as either âIâ, âweâ or âthis little editor ć°çŒâ. So each time you see me write âIâ, it is not my own opinion Iâm inserting in the text, but the author/editorâs. If I have anything else to add or explain myself, Iâll add it in a note at the end of the text. Â
Iâll repeat: I donât own the book so I canât post my scans of the pictures that came with every day. So I posted some other pictures of the scenes that were being filmed with each day. These pics belong to LINE TV or Choco Media, or Iâve taken screenshots.Â
Day 1-10 under the cut.Â
Day 1
The first day of shooting happened to coincide with âLi Dongââ but the temperatures of that day soared to 29 degrees. The crew was going sleeveless, but the actors were all wearing sweaters or dress shirts. Tang Yi, who had on the most, was wearing a turtleneck sweater and a suit jacket on top at one point, but he didnât sweat very much.â Meanwhile A De [Stanley], wearing a shirt and a suit jacket, was [clad] the âthinnestâ at the scene. When he got off work and took off his sweaty shirt, the wardrobe department exclaimed: âThis shirt is so wet!â
Officer Mengâs scenes for that day consisted of eating from 10 am in the morning until 6pm in the evening. He basically ate from when he got to work until he got off work. All in all he had two large bags of rice and poured 4 liters of coca cola. Junhao [Jake] will start sweating profusely and start flushing when he eats spicy food, so as soon as the director yelled âcutâ, the crew would immediately pass him a plastic bag so he could spit out the spicy Kung Pao Chicken he was eating.
â Li Dong ç«ćŹ literally means âestablishing the winterâ, so it is some kind of winter solstice in Asian culture. In the Gregorian calendar, it falls on 7 or 8 November. According to the IG stories of some of the cast of Trapped, it was indeed 7 November 2018 when shooting started.Â
â Chris apparently doesnât sweat much, no matter how hot he gets. He says as much in his vlog as well. I envy him, because Iâd just be sweating buckets like Stanley.Â
Day 2
The first meeting between Tang Yi and Wenhao is also the second time that Chengyang [Chris] and teacher Jiakui [Chen Jiakui, the actor who plays Chen Wenhao] worked together. They cooperated for the first time on a movie. At that time teacher Jiakui served as the movieâs drama teacher. When Chris had gone through make-up in the early morning, he sat alone in a corner with the script. You could easily see that he was conflicted and upset. [For the other movie] teacher Jiakui was Chrisâ mentor, but here Wenhao was the target of Tang Yiâs revenge.
In the process of their scenes where they faced each other, the director hoped that Tang Yi could hate Wenhao even more, but Tang Yiâs personality is subdued and calm. So how could he fly into a raging fit and still keep his calm? In a part that was not captured on camera, teacher Jiakui aggravated some lines to make Chris more infuriated. Afterwards teacher Jiakui also said that the role of Tang Yi is not easy to perform. [Tang Yi] is a young mob boss, The hate in his eyes must therefore also carry a bit of youthfullness, which is difficult to experience for normal people in the course of their lives.
Day 3
Today was the first time that Zhaozi arrived on set, and while he was bored waiting for his scenes, Zhaozi started to act as the shopâs clerk to sell suits. Apart from suits, bowties and regular ties, he even managed to sell shoehorns. By oneself, the words just kept on flying out of his mouth which left Shaofei beside him looking dumbfounded (if you want to see Shaofeiâs dumbfounded meme-like look, you have to absolutely watch the behind-the-scenes on the DVDs)â. [Shaofei] continued to shout âIf you buy a shoehorn you get Zhaozi for free with it, please someone take Zhaozi away, Unit 3 canât stand it anymore.â
Boss Tang was tired, and took a nap in his own shop. âJust a little while will do. Shaofei and A De, you two be on the lookout for me, and if the director is coming, remember to wake me.â
â Excellent advice. Please do watch the behind-the-scenes after finishing this book, because a lot of what is written here is visualized in the bts. The bts are arranged per episode though, and not per filming day, but itâs still amazing to be able to see what went on.Â
Day 4
The set for the offices of Investigation Unit 3 is actually the office of LINE TVâs Choco Media branch. The contemporary industrial style caused the atmosphere among Unit 3 to be even more lively.Â
For Unit 3âs first scene together, the director used a one-shot to have everyone appear on the scene, which meant that the first time all the actors were present, they had to have a âchemistryâ test. But apart from the actors, chemistry also had to be there for the whole staff, as the directing crew, the camera crew and the sound crew, really everyone, also had to follow [the actors] alongâ. I still remember that by the 20th take, everyoneâs lines ran very smoothly, the shot was satisfactory and everyone was where they were supposed to be. The director and the crew were holding their breath in concentration, and just when they thought theyâd succeed, A Zhi [character Zhou Guanzhi, played by Kass Tsai] forgot a line in the very last sentence hahahaha. In the end, this round took 27 takes.
â The author uses a metaphor/reference here. They write äčŸć€ć€§æȘ移 which means something like âThe Great Shift of the Cosmosâ and is apparently a kind of martial art from a martial arts novel. It consists of 7 increasingly difficult skill levels, whereby the 7th level is almost unattainable. In other words, shooting this one-shot scene required the whole cast and crew pulling off this great cosmos shift, and thus was a big, big challenge.Â
Day 5
After we shot the scene where the two idiots from Unit 3 [Shaofei and Zhaozi] got into trouble and received an explosive scolding by Dapao [Shi Dapao, the name of Unit 3âs Captain]â, the director told Shaofei that she wanted to add a scene where he sat next to the window thinking about Sister Lizhen, continuing in the same mood [as the previous scene]...Everyone in Unit 3 felt that Shaofei was continuing to set his teeth into a meaningless old case. If there had only been some progress in the investigation...but [Shaofei] not only didnât find any new leads, but he also got into trouble everywhere. If Sister Lizhen would still be alive, he wouldnât be like this now...Shaofei really, really missed sister Lizhen. Rather than say that the director added this scene at the last moment, itâs more like she deliberately didnât tell Junhao [Jake] that she would add this part.Â
When they were shooting, the director played the music from the music box through the megaphone and from time to time talked as well, to provoke moody feelings in Jake. In the end Jake grabbed his phone and scrolled through his motherâs Facebook, and to all our surprise Jake started bawling, so much so that even after the âcutâ he couldnât stop, until the director walked over and lightly patted him on the back. To be able to cry like that in a short amount of time, even he himself hadnât expected that.
â How much fun is it that the name of the Captain of Unit 3 literally means big cannon, when he explodes in anger all the damn time? đ I am quite convinced that in the hospital scene where Shaofei tells Tang Yi of his fortune-telling and that only a cannon can strike him down - he uses the exact same wording âdapaoâ - itâs actually an inside joke and he may not have meant âcannonâ literally.Â
Day 6
Todayâs weather couldnât be called very fine, and when we were shooting until 3 or 4 P.M., the daylight was almost gone, just when the filming location had large windows in every corner that reached the ground. Our funny director said âWhy did the production team run out of light after 3 P.M.? Did they forget to send noticeâ to the sun?â This caused the crew that was present to not know whether to laugh or cry. But in the end, before the sun got off work, everyone else smoothly finished their job as well.
â the term âto send noticeâ is quite literal, but the word is indeed an entertainment industry term as well, that means to hire someone for a short amount of time or for a specific show, without there having to be a longer-term contractual agreement. So it could also be translated as âdid they forget to hire the sun [to star in todayâs scenes]?â
Day 7
It was a day with complicated feelings for Shaofei and little Tang Yi, as Shaofei discovered Tang Yiâs past history.Â
Before going to meet the adoptive father of his lover, of course Shaofei had to straighten himself out first and shave his beard to leave a good impression. In the evening, todayâs final scene was shot. Before starting filming, the director hoped that [Tang Yiâs] adoptive father could guide little Tang Yiâs mood, because the intensity of this scene needed to bring out the reason why Tang Yiâs feelings for Tang Guodong ran so deep and make everyone feel the warmth that Tang Guodong brought to Tang Yi even more.Â
Under the constant conflict of raising [little Tang Yi] through much difficulties, a loud and clear slap came down heavily on little Tang Yiâs face. The silence at the [shooting] site caused the loud sound to be infinitely amplified, and the director and the crew were all shocked. When the âcutâ sounded, little Tang Yi instantly started crying, and the director rushed to the room immediately. On every crew memberâs face was reluctance and shock. Meanwhile the adoptive father sat with his head down on the sofa, full of remorse.Â
An extra tidbit from the same scene: the crewâs love for little gadgets
There are always a few conspicuous toys in front of the directorâs monitor. She explained that these were toys that members of the crew who are close to her gave her to alleviate stress. I donât know which toy is the directorâs favourite?
 Day 8
For the setting of the toilets of Unit 3 we actually used the toilets in a department store. Zhaozi, who arrived at the store very early in the morning, was hit on by an older lady who was just coming into work. The lady said: âArenât you Zhao Youting [Mark Chao]? You definitely are Zhao Youting!!â Even though Zhaozi went on to deny it, the lady didnât listen and believed that this handsome guy in front of her was Zhao Youting himself.Â
Actually, Zhaozi passed on the above story [to us], and no one actually saw this older lady. Zhaozi often tells bluff stories with a straight face, but I [this little editor] have my reservations about its credibility. But be as it may, after he was told that he looked like Zhao Youting, Zhaoziâs acting skills immediately leveled up. So okay, whether or not the story was real, we thank this lady âfrom the legendsâ.
Day 9
Can I call you dad after this hug?Â
I still remember the story of a friend coming out to his mother. He said to his mom: âIâm sorry if this thing disappoints you. I donât dare to ask for your blessing. I just hope that you can show some understanding.â Through a chat message, his mother could only briefly reply: âIf your other half is a good kid, I will give you my blessing.â
Many people in a same-sex relationship donât dare to confess to the older generation and they donât dare to ask for their blessings. Their only hope is not to be hated. Itâs like that facing this society, and itâs the case when facing your beloved family. When Wenhao and Shaofei met each other, Wenhao gave Shaofei a hug. This hug must have carried [Wenhaoâs] unspoken blessing.Â
No worries, dear father-in-law. I, Officer Meng, will take care of everything (pats on the back).Â
Wenhao and Guodong together brings its own hint of romance.â The fighting was very intense that day, so much so that the police dispatched a Quick Fight Force team in concern [for the situation].Â
â The term that the author uses is è
ćł (fuwei, the taste of fu). The first character, âfuâ is the same âfuâ that is used in terms like fujoshi è
ć„łć and fudanshi è
ç·ć (which are Japanese) but itâs the same pronunciation for that first character. So the author implies that there might have been something more than friendship going on between Chen Wenhao and Tang Guodong. They imply the same thing later in the book as well (day 60, where the two are called a CP).Â
Day 10
A Mei [Stanley] who portrays A De, said that he was the expert in getting beaten [in this drama]. I say that Stanley definitely dedicated himself to taking on that role. Many times his head bumped into the wall and the crew told him to take a break, but Stanley couldnât stop yelling âno no, hurry up, Iâm familiar with it now!â
All the way through the end Officer Meng and Vixenâ no.1, A De, cheered each other on before âAction!â [was called].Â
â The word for vixen is âfox spiritâ ççžçČŸ in Chinese. I love that and I could probably write essays on this subject. In classical Chinese literature, foxes were most of the time portrayed as (mainly female) temptresses who seduced males for sex and then didnât shy away from sucking the soul out of them, kind of like a succubus. If anyone is ever in the mood for some academic literature about foxes in late imperial China, I've got you covered  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3237790-alien-kind
So A De and Andy are constantly referred to as these foxes who want to seduce Tang Yi and snatch him away in front of Shaofeiâs eyes.Â

Fic Questions
tagged by @the-lincyclopedia thank you!! (fun game: watch my writing get progressively less formal as the post continues. by the end itâs like what is capitalization)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
77!
2. Whatâs your total AO3 word count?
434,378 as of this week but it does go up quite regularly
3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Okay so in terms of whatâs on my AO3, I have Check Please, All For the Game, Sharp Zero, HP, and Miraculous Ladybug. I also have The Forbidden LOTR and PJO Fanfiction (as in, Iâve written it, but itâs never seeing the light of day)
(technically there is a PJO fic out there that has seen the light of day but I orphaned it because I was tired of getting comments asking about when it would be updated)
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
and then i met you (and the whole world changed)
for the better
Knew It Was You
come home (to you, to us)
sin bin schematics
All of these are Check Please and all of them except Knew It Was You are part of my Zimbits Airport AU!
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! Itâs actually a very recent thing that Iâve started not responding to literally every single comment. Mainly I respond because I love talking about my writing so I am going to seize that opportunity when it comes up
6. Whatâs the fic youâve written with the angstiest ending?
Oh, DEFINITELY Happy Birthday (HP). Check out that MCD tag ahah. (I say HP but what I really mean is that I write fic about Regulus Black. The Regulus Black-centric tag is my home in the HP fandom)
fun fact: this is a very short fic that I wrote when I was 15 and basically forgot about until recently, and then I reread it recently and went holy shit?? I pulled NO punches????
7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the wildest one youâve written?
Not a ton? I think a lot of the fandoms I write for donât really mesh that well. That being said, the aforementioned orphaned PJO fic is actually a PJO/ML crossover, so thereâs that
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Nope! Sometimes I get comments that are just.... really confusing? And a more common thing is that in my AFTG fic Iâll get comments from people who are so focused on Andreil (or the most common ships in general) to the point that like. they miss the point of what I actually wrote. Those are annoying but theyâre not hate, theyâre very enthusiastic, theyâre just... enthusiastic about a story Iâm not writing? So itâs a bit frustrating.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No sjflskgjhgf I struggle enough to write kissing, I think if I ever tried to write smut my brain would just shut down. Iâve managed some fade-to-blacks (which are mostly in WIPs that havenât been posted) but they rely HEAVILY on the powers of implication
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of!
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, although I have occasionally made a brief go of it, not to post, more as an exercise for myself in a language that Iâm learning. Anyway I never finish them so Iâm gonna say no
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not really? Iâve definitely group brainstormed fics and then written them (the best example of this being Q&A (AFTG), which was the product of a truly off-the-walls group chat), but I tend to do all the actual writing myself. I think the way I write would drive a co-writer up the wall since itâs very disorganized and I donât write stuff down because ~I know whatâs gonna happen I donât need notes~ and it would infuriate me if I was co-writing with me lmao, so I wonât inflict that on someone else
13. Whatâs your all-time favorite ship?
I regularly move through ships Iâm SUPER focused on, like itâs kind of a rotation. I will forever and always ship Percabeth though.
14. Whatâs a WIP that you want to finish but donât think you ever will?
Okay so if you follow me at @birlwrites you may know this already, but i have this âwarmupsâ document that is just like, random ideas i get that i donât necessarily want to finish but i just want to try out for a bit? and i have a rule that once a âwarmupâ is more than 10 pages long (so 11+) then it has to be moved to its own document, just to make scrolling through the warmups doc easier. but usually, a warmup only passes 10 pages when iâm INTO it. so i have a bazillion wips i will probably never finish. i complain about this a lot. i have so many wips. i donât need more.
hereâs one: itâs titled âinterrobang doesnât know theyâre datingâ, itâs basically a full outline for a chowder/tango fic and it would be SO cool if i could ever like. get around to writing it. but i am constantly swamped with writing projects, so itâs probably not gonna happen. if anyoneâs interested in adopting it though iâd be down for that!! i think itâs a fun idea i just almost def wonât write it myself
15. What are your writing strengths?
SNAPPY DIALOGUE AND SNARKY INTERNAL MONOLOGUE. my writing is COMEDIC, 90% of my ideas are based on a funny snippet that popped into my head, a lot of my worldbuilding is based on âhey you know what would be hilariousâ (whenever i explain how larai selects a chosen one in the rainfall universe i start laughing, which is a STARK contrast to how it plays out on the page), i love writing funny stuff!!
also i think my writing sounds nice, a lot of the time i pick words/syntax based on sound and flow so thereâs that too. and i have lots of ideas! i donât struggle much with writerâs block because a) i have a lot of strategies to deal with it and b) i have a lot of ideas to help get around it/work with it
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
PHYSICAL INTIMACY LMAO, sometimes in my end notes on shippy fics you can see me complaining âit took me literally 4 hours to write that very brief kissâ. also sometimes the humor in my writing gets in the way a bit, i have to very consciously put it away so characters can actually have serious, genuine emotions. also i donât like outlining and i tend not to get betas for fanfiction so like..... i do my best continuity-wise but having really tightly plotted stories is just not my focus lol. (and i do put more effort into that for original stuff, itâs just fic where i kind of go wild)
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
If the readerâs supposed to know what it means, then writing it in another language is iffy for me. (stuff like terms of endearment which come up a lot in fic are fine imo, you can just put a note in to translate them and your reader will prob remember)
If the pov character isnât supposed to understand it, and it doesnât matter if the reader understands it, then ig itâs fine? but unless you already speak the other language (and i am NOT confident in my ability to translate english into literally any other language), then i think itâs way easier to just note that a characterâs speaking x language and provide tone indicators, body language cues, etc. so the reader understands as much as the pov character.
That being said there are def times when itâs used super effectively--the dialogue in spanish in cemetery boys comes to mind! thatâs not fanfic but itâs still creative writing so w/e
so i guess it comes down to: does actually writing out the dialogue in the other language serve a purpose? if it doesnât, then youâre filling up the screen with words your reader isnât likely to understand, which i try to avoid doing
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
so the first fandom i actually *wrote* for was PJO, but i distinctly remember creating warrior cats OCs when i was little. i never actually did anything w them but i had them and my favorite was a riverclan warrior named shellstream i remember this VIVIDLY
19. Whatâs your favorite fic youâve ever written?
oh boy. okay so this is hard because i feel like iâm continuously improving as a writer. like in the sense that my writing is getting closer and closer to really matching my own taste? my favorites tend to always be my current projects as a result. and i do really love set those ghosts alight (HP) but it feels a little like cheating to say a fic i havenât even finished writing yet. even though itâs def not cheating, thatâs just the direction my brain is taking it.
iâm gonna say and then what? (OMGCP) because iâm super proud of the prose (especially ch 2 aka the first actual prose chapter), survived by (HP) for SUCCESSFULLY WRITING AN EMOTION and making readers cry :), and Q&A (AFTG) because iâm literally the one who wrote it and yet it still makes me wheeze. those are all fics i reread occasionally, because iâm big enough to admit i enjoy rereading my old stuff! (just like. to a point. some of my old stuff i canât look at anymore because all the mistakes stick out to me like they have spotlights shining directly on them)
this was fun!! iâm gonna do an open tag because i just started my fall semester and brain tired. i know sometimes people see open tags and assume the op didnât really mean it but I MEAN IT, PLEASE DO THIS AND TAG ME!!!!! YES YOU READING THIS

But I want to know your theory. :(
ok ok i guess iâll spillâŠi was kinda hesitant to share just cause iâm still not all that solid in my belief in it myself but basically it seems like maybe ziam has made it a tradition to have some kind of couples trip most years (if not every year) in february ever since 2014âŠ
(btw for future reference this ask is a continuation of this ask re ziam both being publicly in vegas earlier this year)
ugh sorry guys! hit enter by accident and posted this wayyyy before i was anywhere near finished lolâŠthis will be updated within the hour (if it doesnât take me too long to get my thoughts out)
narrator: she did not finish it within the hour.
âŠ
ok so part of the reason iâve been hesitant to share this is because a good portion of it is VERY speculative and just based on a lot of guesswork and assumptions, but also thereâs the fact that it feels like this is something major that more people in the fandom (or at least someone, other than little ass me lol) would have noticed before now and it kind of freaks me out that maybe no one else has?? (unless ofc i just havenât happened to see any other posts there are about it idk)âŠÂ
also fyi a lot of what i propose throughout this is heavily based on info from this post just to make sure i remember to site my sources before we get into it lol
alright now onto the actual theoryâŠ
SO. all this started with me scrolling through old posts from late 2013/early 2014 and being reminded of the fuckery that was zaynâs bday that year (with the douche canoe crew and everyone pretending like liam was barely there as seemingly some sort of weird over-the-top cover-up)âŠthe same party that seemed kinda like liamâs possible âintroductionâ to the malik family as more than just zaynâs friend/as his possible significant other. which was also only a month after that suspicious engagement-looking ring first showed up on zaynâs ring finger in december 2013 from bts midnight memories mv footage (and which stayed around as a necklace throughout january 2014 and early febuary 2014 right before the first appearance/debut of the mandala tat in mid feb).Â
bts midnight memories mv with the ring in view - dec 2013:
(suspicious?) malik family outing/celebration with the ring in view - dec (or possibly late nov?) 2013:
[putting the rest under the cut cause as per usual with me this got insanely long]
liam and aunt zileh at zaynâs bday party - jan 2014:
liam and one of the little cousins at zaynâs bday party - jan 2014:
then sometime in between late jan and early feb 2014 liam went on a trip to barbados with his whole family (and supposedly also sophia lol more on that later*) while zayn was SUPPOSEDLY still home and steadily âpostingâ pics of himself at home with various members of his family (with the ring on a necklace clearly visible in the pics lol), anddd as some have also pointed out his hair was suspiciously unchanged in these pics despite his claim of getting a haircut BEFORE most of the pics were posted lol
zayn in family pics with the ring on a necklace - late jan/early feb 2014 (sorry iâm not the one who cropped his fam out lol):
but yet weâre supposed to believe zayn - who had just gotten awarded the asian ambassadorship for the VERY FIRST time - mysteriously (and willingly) MISSED the ceremony on feb. 5th with absolutely no explanation. whichâŠwe all know how big a deal that was to him from the way he talked about it and how honored he was when he went in 2015âŠwhich begs the question if he was really just home not doing much of anything at the time in 2014 why in the world would he just pass/bail on that HUGE HONOR with no explanation??? mayhaps because he was actually already an ocean away with liam and fam in barbados celebrating his engagement (and getting his own âintroductionâ to the payne family) and literally COULD NOT ATTEND?
anyway so then, we have him getting the mandala tat around feb 18th 2014 - or at least this is the day he debuted it on his old ig, so the date may be a few days off from when he actually got it - but this still wouldâve been shortly after they got back from the barbados trip when he debuted this particular tat (aka another solidification of the engagement??)Â
THEN we get the very first ig ziam likes from the famous and beloved aunt zileh (!!!) in this same month (still feb for reference, but she continues steadily and heavily liking stuff all the way through april when she seems to cool down again). fast forward to the 2014 brits at the end of february where we have the infamous moment with 1) ziam giddy as fucking ever, 2) zayn whispering into and practically mawling liamâs neck in public, 3) liam talking about how it was great to âfill each other inâ on what they were up to during their break while zaynâs just steady standing there smiling like a loon and then 4) liam still later being like âyou donât wanna knowâ when asked what he got up to (and zayn still grinning like a fool)
ziam being gross at brits 2014:
so to sum up so far: 1) one of them possibly proposed around nov/dec 2013 (or thatâs my best guess anyway based on the evidence lol), 2) then zayn shows up with a suspiciously-engagement-looking ring in dec 2013, 3) then all the weirdness with liamâs attendance at zaynâs bday party a month later (possibly also liamâs formal intro to the malik family), 4) then liam takes his barbados trip with his fam (and supposedly sophia lol*) just a couple weeks later while âzaynâ stays home and posts family pics (but is very likely secretly on the trip with liam lol which is also possibly zaynâs formal intro the payne family and a belated celebration of their engagement), 5) and then we get the beginning of aunt zilehâs likes, 6) the debut of zaynâs mandala tat, 7) and the 2014 brits wildnessâŠall in the space of like 3 months. and most of it happening in FEBRUARY. what a wild fucking journey right?
*side note/fun fact: liam and his fam were posting stuff regularly throughout the duration of the barbados vacay but there were literally zero pics of sophia posted from this trip until like dec 2014 or sometime around then when like ONE random pic suddenly surfaced/was posted and lots of ppl had already speculated that sophia was never there in the first place so once this one pic came up that idea got upgraded to people theorizing that they maybe had some of the fam go back a second time later in the year just to stage take photos to retroactively prove/authenticate the narrative that sophia was there lol
but anyway so back to the actual matter at hand - most of that shit happened in february right? specifically the barbados trip (aka the possible engagement celebration trip)âŠand when i was talking about all this to a friend we realized ZIAMI WAS ALSO IN FEBRUARY. AND SO WAS THIS YEARâS VEGAS SHIT. AND THEN. AND THEN. My friend did some research and there was apparently this little known/barely talked about article (or at least barely talked about that iâm aware of) about liam taking a TRIP TO THE MALDIVES IN FEBRUARY 2016⊠which coincidentally (or not lol considering these shady ass hoes) is also around the same time he got his 4 tattoo (I believe this was the first article, or at least one of the first articles, that mentioned the tatâs debut)Â
BUT WAIT.Â
THE INSANE SHIT DOES NOT END THERE FOLKS.
GUESS WHICH MONTH THE CARTIER BRACELET FIRST DEBUTED?
FUCKING FEBRUARY 2016.
specifically on liamâs wrist in preparation for the 2016 brits (photo posted to his brits stylistâs ig on feb 23rd). and he didnât take it off till like june.
so. quick timeline:
february 2016 - maldives trip and debut of liamâs 4 tattoo (around feb 21st); debut of cartier bracelet via liam (feb 23rd); (there was also that valentineâs day roses pic liam posted feb 14th of this year which was quite interesting considering he and c hadnât even been officially announced as a âthingâ yetâŠofc we know it still got retroactively attributed to her anyway but whatever, we all know who it was really for lol đ)
february 2017 - i donât have anything on this year, partly cause i stopped paying as close attention due to heavy ramping up of stunts, although if anyone has more concrete info on this period that hints at anything please do hit me up and i will add it in, but anyway just based on a little light research there does appear to be a good period of inactivity from both of them during this time (as in both of them had quite a bit of time in february where they were pretty inactive on sm, not being papped, and essentially mia and would have potentially had time to go on a private trip) - UPDATE: HOLY SHIT I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THIS BUT THIS IS THE YEAR LIAM SHOWED UP AT THE BRITS WITH THE MOTHERFUCKING 25 ON HIS JACKET AND FUCKED SIMON ALL THE WAY UP BY SWERVING ON HIS UGLY BITCH ASS SPEECHÂ IN FRONT OF GOD AND ENTIRE WORLDÂ (and i think also thanked zayn in his speech if iâm not mixing that up with another year??) - all on feb 23rd to be specific.
february 2018 - ZIAMI OBVIOUSLY (which specifically started feb 22nd, or at least thatâs the day iâm counting it as âstartedâ cause itâs the day liam joined zayn in miami, canât recall the exact day zayn arrived but pretty sure it was only a couple days before that)
february 2019 - zayn starts wearing this distinctive fishhook earring in all his ig pics, which on the surface seems like a pretty small thing, but quite possibly commemorates their famous august 2014 fishing trip (directly after which he also started wearing a fish hook pendant on a necklace back in 2014); this was also another period they were pretty quiet/mia as far as i can recall, although again if anybody has more concrete info from this time that could point to something please let me know, but anyway point being they again would have had a good chunk of time to possibly go on a private trip together
february 2020 - VEGAS BABY
ofc iâm sure you all will notice one year was left out - february 2015 they were on tour with no breaks coming anytime soon so they obviously werenât able to go on a trip that year. BUT. february 14th 2015 (aka valentineâs day lol) is also the day liam was famously papped with some small shopping bags that looked suspiciously but precisely like the type that usually come from a jewelry store, and then later that same night they had a performance (for otra tour) where we have zayn pictured wearing a new gold bracelet (as in he hadnât been seen wearing it ever before on tour or anywhere else) - btw the op of this linked post actually marks this day as the debut of the cartier bracelet but thereâs a lot of counter speculation that itâs not and given that it doesnât quite look like the cartier bracelet looked in later pics (itâs more round and more gold than the cartier bracelet which imo looks more angular and more kind of a two-tone/silvery-gold than this vday bracelet) iâm inclined to lean more towards it just being a regular but still very sweet vday-gifted bracelet. but anyway back to more important stuff. now considering this was literally just a little over a month before zayn left - and one of my theories for zayn leaving was that it was possible he felt it was the only way to save his relationship with liamâŠi mean if they were still giving each other vday presents they were clearly still VERY in love at this point. like thatâs not the kind of thing youâd expect from a couple that was on the rocks and on the verge of breaking up and i know a lot of ppl (myself included for a brief minute) speculated that zayn leaving the band meant he maybe left liam too/or things werenât working out b/t them or whatever, but given this context of the vday gifts just a few weeks before him leaving that doesnât really line upâŠwhat does line up though is him being so in love and so sick of the bs that he might be driven to just be done with it all (as far as the stress of the band and mgmt bs is concerned at least). and ofc liam did say that zayn is the most emotionally impulsive/emotionally driven out of all them so when you think about it it really shouldnât come as that much of a surpriseâŠ
anyway, in conclusion:Â
it appears quite possible ziam has made it a couples tradition (ever since that first honeymoonish vacay in 2014) to go on some sort of trip/getaway together around the end of every february (or at least do something special together/for each other when they canât) and in further conclusion I AM NOT OKAY AND WILL NEVER BE OVER THIS REALIZATION OKAY THANKS BYE đđđđđđđđÂ

my girl
hi so this is my first time doing this but i want to try talking abt movies. idk hereâs a lil introduction to this. ok so ig iâve always been a movie person, like i like them but iâve never rly got into the nitty gritty w them. but sometimes i do find myself looking up analysisâ of the movies once i finish them. but that only started recently. ok so hereâs the deal w this post. thereâs 3-4 parts. first part is the introduction (this is the introduction), then we have the when i watched it (i know this seems rly silly but i think itâs important on the atmosphere and shit when watching a movie), then the what i rly think abt it section, and finally a section called audrey trying to be johnny 2 cellos. this one will b abt 4 because this intro is kinda explaining how iâm going to be doing this sort of thing so letâs get started ig? IDK HOW TO START THIS IâM LITERALLY 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WHOâS BORED. oh iâm gonna rate the movie on a scale from 1-10, 1 being wtf this is not cute and 10 being cute cute cute. 5 is like oh cute? its confusing i feel like i need to draw some sort of diagram :/
intro:
ok so my girl is abt this girl (wow nice one audrey!) who lives with her dad in a mortuary. this girls name is vada and her mother died giving birth to her. i lowkey forgot some stuff from this movie but thatâs fine ig bc itâs been abt a year since iâve seen it. basically vada is this tomboy and she doesnât get along w everyone until she meets this boy. btw they r in elementary school. so sheâs freinds w this boy named thomas and he wears glasses. the actor is the kid who was in home alone. anyways shit happens some girl comes in and becomes like her step mom ig. but lets get into what actually happened. so one day vada and thomas r playing in the woods and vada is wearing this ring but she loses it. she realizes she lost it after they were done playing in the woods but after thomas went back to get it. as he was looking for the ring he bumped into a bees nest and a shit load of bees stung him AND MANS WAS ALLERGIC TO BEES. so his glasses fell underneath the leaves and he died. so sad omg. and so they held a funeral for him and vada was obviously sad abt this but when she went to look in the casket she saw he wasnât wearing his glasses. this is where the famous line âhe canât see without his glassesâ comes from. this scene hurt so much my lawd. eventually time goes on and she never forgets him but thatâs basically my girl.Â
how audrey watched this movie:
okay so i think it was summer. I canât remember i just remember this day being very grey and bright. so it mustâve been summer. anyways i had a shit load of laundry to do so i thought i would put on a movie. as iâm scrolling through netflix i see my girl and itâs one of those movies that u always hear abt so i thought i would watch it. i thought it was going to be some cute cheesey rom-com abt childhood friends but oh boy was i wrong. the movie was on in the background as i was folding my clothes but i do remember knowing what was going on the whole time. i remember wearing this headband that made my forehead huge but i didnât realize that until i looked in the mirror to see my crying face lols. when the scene of thomas in the casket came up i was sobbing. i mean i was not expecting that at all and i was not ready . i rly thought it was gonna b a cute kids movie. i was so shocked that during and after that scene i could not move. i sat over all my clothes and just cried all over them. literally so embarrassing but it was so sad. LIKE Y WOULD U MAKE A CHILD DIE HELLO? i mean shit happens but whatever. this movie will alwyas be memorable to me bc i literally was not expecting to cry and i literally sobbed like a baby. iâm so glad no one was home to see me cry like that oh my goodness.Â
audrey tries to b johnny2cellos:
if u donât who johnny2cellos is pls check out his yt channel. i think he does a great good in going deep into movies and tv shows. well idk if i should say movies iâve only watched bojack related vids from him. but from what iâve seen and heard i think he does a rly good job. anyways let me jump into my lame ass analysis. this isnât going to be good bc i havent seen this movie in a long time. but i think the movie did a rly good job capturing losing a loved one from such a young age. the innocence and immaturity of vada shown throughout the movie and during thomasâ funeral. iâm not good at this lmao. but i havent seen this movie in a long time so im not surprised that this is bad lols. anyways thatâs it bc i have no idea what to say and i want to talk abt a different movie bc i lowkey forgot everything about this movie.Â
final thoughts:
this movie is meh. it gets a 6.5/10 from me, so itâs like a ok cute? idk if that makes sense lols. anyways itâs a good tear jerker but honestly it seemed a bit rushed, but at the same time i sorta like that bc thatâs what going through childhood is like. everything goes by super fast and soon enough, something happens that makes you stop and realize the shit thatâs going on around you. thatâs it for now iâm gonna do my life as zucchini next. PEACE OUT!!

NEVER THOUGHT ITâD BE HER
Summary:  Max lives an⊠entertaining life.  She just got out of a relationship she thought would last forever.  Meeting one person leads to more people in her life, and before she knows it, sheâs falling in love with someone she never expected to fall in love with.
Words: Â 1,487
Warnings: little bit of angst
Authorâs Note:  its getting good hehe⊠reminder that i link the previous chapters directly below the authorâs notes, so if youâre behind you can just click the link thru here :D
CHAPTER 1, CHAPTER 2, CHAPTER 3, CHAPTER 4
~~~
CHAPTER 5
WAKING up, Alex felt different. Like something major in her life had changed. She sat up after rubbing her eyes and realized where she was. So⊠it did happen. Everything with DevinâŠ. She started to tear up, but then she remembered that she was in bed with Max. She turned her body around to go face her friend but was greeted by more pillows. She huffed, disappointed that she was alone, but upon further looking, she noticed a piece of paper on Maxâs nightstand. A note.
              âMorning. I had to run to work to finish some stuff (that apparently couldnât wait -_-), and I didnât wanna wake you up since you had a rough night. Thereâs a whole bunch of food in the cabinets in the kitchen. If you canât find anything you want, text me and I can order something for you if you want. I shouldnât be home too-too late, but Iâll def text you when Iâm on my way back. Treat yourself to whatever you want, be it food or tv. Youâre an adult so I canât stop you, hehe. Text me when you get up if you want (just so I know youâre alive). Iâll see you later :D ~Maxâ
              Alex couldnât help but smile while reading the entire note that was written to her. Since she had nothing planned for the day, she decided to sleep in a bit more to help recuperate from the previous nightâs anguish. Putting the note back where she found it, Alex rested her head on the pillow once again for about three more hours.
              Settling in at her desk, Max checked her phone for what felt like the millionth time within the past hour. She felt bad that she had to leave Alex alone in her home after what happened last night, but her boss practically threatened her to get her ass to work âor else.â That bitch.Â
              After deciding putting the phone down would probably do her some good, Max finally got to do what she came into work to do in the first place.Â
              Around 11:45 a.m., she got a text. No one usually texts her when sheâs at work, so she flipped her phone right side up to check who it was. It was Alex. Max smiled, reading the text: âfinally got out of bed. Not sure how you managed to get up so quickly without waking me. I felt like I woke the whole neighborhood just sitting up itâs so comfy. Donât rush your work, itâs more important, lol. To quote someone who wrote me a note this morning, âIâll see you later :Dââ
              Max chuckled at the last part of the text. What a wiseass, she thought. âGood to know youâre finally alive and moving, lol :P. I bought it for its comfort ig. Iâll text you when I get in my car later, itâs about a 10 min drive home jsyk. To quote someone who quoted my note, âIâLL SEE YOU LATER :Dââ After she sent the message, she put her phone away and got to work. The faster I finish, the faster I can go home and be with her.
              Feet perched up on the coffee table, Alex continued to scroll through the channels that Max had available on her tv. Finally finding the HGTV channel, she laid even further back into the couch.
              Ten minutes had passed, and she remembered that she still had a box from when she went to Natalieâs house. Nat had said that it was stuff that Max had apparently put in the boxes on accident and Nat didnât want to âhave them anymore.âÂ
              Grabbing her keys and walking towards the door, she decided to go bring the box inside, thinking that she would forget about it by the time Max gets home, whenever that would be.Â
              Plopping the box down onto the bed, Alex sat down right next to it. She contemplated whether to open it and take everything out since Nat had said it was mostly clothes. The least Alex could do is try to make the clothes as less-wrinkly as possible, seeing as the box did sit in her car for about a week and a half.Â
              She laughed to herself as she pulled out only six flannels from the box. Sighing as she laid them out, she accidentally knocked the box over trying to flatten some of the flannels out. As she walked over to the box, she noticed something had fell out of it. Crouching down to get a better view of what it was, she picked up an extremely tiny box. She opened it and gasped immediately.Â
              It was a ring.
              Questions raced around Alexâs mind. One of them was planning on proposing to the other? Or did one of them propose, the other said no, and thatâs why they broke up? Then it occurred to Alex that she didnât even know why Max and Natalie broke up in the first place. All she knew was that Nat had managed to find someone, that someone being Chris, rather quickly after the breakup. She found that strange in itself seeing as the relationship she just got out of lasted three years and she moved on to an entirely new one.Â
              Maybe sheâd ask Max what exactly went down when she got home from work. Well, how would she bring that up into a conversation? Hey so I was taking your clothes out of a box that your ex said wasnât hers and I stumbled upon what looks like an engagement ring and I realized that I donât know why you and my sister broke up soâŠ?Â
              Maybe not that. She put the ring back in the box and the flannels on top of it. Maybe if Max saw the ring for herself, the break-up story would emerge, and Alex would finally understand. She went back to the couch to lie down. She might just need energy for later if she were to take everything in. That is, if Max were to tell her what went down that night.
              Around four hours later, she received a text from Max saying she was on her way home. Alex panicked. She felt the need to go look in the mirror and see if she looked appropriate.Â
              Appropriate? Sheâs been home all day. If anything, her looking like a slob would look appropriate. She decided to fix her hair into a cute braid and tie up the shirt with one of the rubber bands around her wrist. By the time she had sat back down on the couch after making herself look âbetter,â Max had gotten home.
              Max walked through the front door with bags in her hand, and Alex shot up to go and help her. She grabbed the bags from Max and went to place them on the counter, realizing it was some kind of Italian food based on the smell that was emitted from the bags. She turned around to face Max.
              âI was hungry on my way home and was in the mood. Donât judge me.â Alex raised her hands, saying she would never, and they both laughed. Max, after placing down her other belongings, walked over to the counter and took out the excess food. âI might have gone a little overboard now that Iâm looking at it all.â Alex just nods.
              The two sit down at Maxâs table and eat, surprisingly, a majority of the food while they talk about their day. When they had finished what they decided was the end of dinner, Alex remembered about the box. âOh! I forgot to tell you something somehow over the course of the past two weeks,â she laughs at herself. âWhen I went to Natâs house to drop her stuff off, she went through the boxes to see if she got everything and noticed that you, probably, accidentally put some of your stuff in the boxes. So, she filled up a box and gave it back to me to give back to you. I remembered I had it earlier today, so I just put it on your bed,â she said, while gesturing towards the bedroom. Max nodded and, after throwing all the dirty plates away, went to her room to investigate.Â
              Alex stayed in the living room, but she could hear Max saying things like, âSo thatâs where this flannel went!â and she couldnât help but giggle softly to herself. She opted to get up and go watch Max find her lost pieces of clothing.Â
              When she walked into the bedroom, she found Max standing still, holding something small in her hand. Thatâs when Alex remembered the ring. She asked Max if she was okay, but Max stayed silent. Alex walked over to her and put her hand on her shoulder. Max sighed heavily.
        Max explained what it was and why Natalie had it in the first place.
NEXT

chuckles, pushes the door closed âSheâs like the easiest baby ever, I promise.â kisses venâs forehead, carefully maneuvers to hand her off, switches to baby voice âHey Venny. This is mommyâs friend. Sheâs gonna hold you for a bit, okay?â doesnât let got until sasha has her securely
SASHA
grins at both ven and mona and holds her like a pro, placing a hand in the back of V's head. ''Ugh, I already love her so much.'' looks down at Ven and kisses her cheek gently. ''The most beautiful baby ever, I SWEAR.''
MONA
smiles proudly at the two of them getting along so well âIsnât she just the best? I am totally obsessed with her and Iâm glad you can see why.â pulls out her own phone, snaps a pic of them âSeriously, though. Iâm not sure what I did to be blessed with a baby girl so perfect. I canât wait for her to be just like me!â
SASHA
''She really is the best.'' cant stop looking at Ven and giggles when mona snaps a picture of them. ''You need send me that asap.'' nods ''For sure, she's gonna be just as beautiful as you are when she's older, you'll see.''
MONA
nods, immediately sends the photo over âOh, please. Sheâs gonna be prettier than me. We donât even look like mother and daughter.â pouts
SASHA
furrows brows and looks at Ven and then at Mona. Hums. ''How does her dad's side of the family look like?''
MONA
âDark hair, dark eyes, tan skin. Theyâre Puerto Rican.â navigates through phone, pulls up a pic and hands it over âThis is her Aunt Mariana. She literally looks more like her than like me.â pouts
SASHA
looks at the pic and frowns, def seeing the resemblance. ''I mean, yeah, she's pretty and all but I'm sure Ven will grow out of it and look more like you as she grows older.''
MONA
âI wouldnât mind if she continued to look like Mariana though. Marianaâs gorgeous.â shrugs, sighs âDo you want anything to eat or drink?â leads the way towards the kitchen âPrestonâs weird about his stuff, so maybe donât touch anything?â
SASHA
shrugs, not at all impressed by mariana's looks. ''Yeah, I guess she's alright.'' looks down at ven and smiles, blown away by how adorable she is. ''Hm, do you have snacks?'' giggles
MONA
looks at them adoringly, checks through the cabinet for snacks âLooks like we have potato chips... barbecue ones, oreos, an assortment of fruits. Sorry that the selection is kinda lame.â shrugs âWe can also go out if youâd like.â
SASHA
hums ''Do you have ketchup?''
MONA
quirks brow âYes...â
SASHA
âPotato chips with ketchup are a blessing.â grins excitedly
MONA
makes a disgusted face âWouldâve never guessed that youâd be the type for that combo, but who am I to judge?â grabs both the chips and ketchup for her âWant me to grab her?â gestures at a now asleep ven
SASHA
''I can't believe she fell asleep on me.'' smiles and pouts at the baby. ''I love that she's comfortable, ugh but yeah, I'll take her again in a bit.'' very carefully hands ven over
MONA
âSheâs probably exhausted from the sleep she didnât get last night.â takes ven, rocks her to keep her asleep âThat and sheâs totally comfortable with you.â puts ven in her crib, walks back out with the baby monitor âBut I didnât ask. How are you? How is life?â
SASHA
frowns ''Why? What happened?'' totally walks into the kitchen as if she owns the place and grabs a bowl for the chips and pours ketchup all over them. ''Life is good, a little uneventful at the moment, but good. Michael's been working a lot lately and that's super boring.'' sighs, eating her chips. 'Want some?'' offers the bowl ''What about you? Your life seems to be much more eventful than mine.''
MONA
âNo clue. She just had energy all day and night for some reason.â sighs, shakes head âLiterally P and I got no alone time.. if you know what I mean.â watches her, genuinely confused by the chip situation, shakes head âYour whole life doesnât revolve around Michael though, right? - Unfortunately, my whole life does revolve around Venecia.â
SASHA
frowns ''If you ever need alone time, I could help babysit. Just give me a call.'' smiles and shakes head ''No, it revolves around my phone, mostly.'' laughs ''I truly don't have a life but I don't really care, it's fine. I'd love to have more action or drama but I guess I'm lucky I don't.'' shrugs, eats more chips
MONA
âThat would be amazing, but thatâs what my sisters are for. I would never pass on an irritable Ven to you.â chuckles âIâll get them to babysit some time while we hang.â shakes head âBelieve me you do not want drama. Whatâs so entertaining on your phone though?â
SASHA
''I doubt she ever gets irritable.'' chuckles, is literally loving her chips. ''But I do, nothing exciting ever happens for me. I wanna be involved in something entertaining. Do you get drama often?'' chuckles ''Honestly, social media, online books and youtube.''
MONA
scoffs âPlay one round of peek a boo with her and youâll see how irritable she can get.â sighs âHonestly.. So much. Like a sex tape of me and my sisterâs husband literally leaked a few months back. Drama follows me everywhere, so if I could have it not, thatâd be ideal.â
SASHA
gasps, puts the bowl down ''A sex tape with your sister's husband?'' jaw drops ''Please, elaborate.''
MONA
sighs âWell it was old first off, and he wasnât her husband at the time of filming.. was her boyfriend, though.â shakes head âI probably shouldnât be telling you this. Itâs way too soon for you to know this about me.â chuckles âBut we were both just kind of going through weird stages in our relationships and we did something stupid.. multiple times. And I guess at some point in our drugged out, sexed up state, we thought making a video was a good idea.â sighs âI didnât even remember any of this, but kind of just had to put the pieces together when suddenly there was evidence of it floating around.â
SASHA
is shocked and wide-eyed but lowkey loves everything about the story even though she probably shouldn't. chuckles. ''That's... terrible but amazing.'' chuckles again, shaking her head ''Is he cute?''
MONA
laughs, shakes head "I'm definitely going to hell for it, but you're totally gonna lose some points for that reaction." chuckles "You will not find him attractive. He kind of gives off Jafar from Aladdin vibes." pulls up a pic of marlon on her phone "This is Marlon. He's my best friend."
SASHA
jaw drops again, takes the phone and stares at it for a good 30 seconds before looking back at mona ''Oh... my god!''
MONA
takes her phone back, rolls eyes
SASHA
shakes head, shocked ''Mona, I know him.''
MONA
jaw drops "What?"
SASHA
nods, wide-eyed. ''It's kind of a long story but basically he was my brother's drug dealer for like the longest time and they would hang together and I always thought he was so hot and I was younger than him but I...'' chuckles, shaking her head ''... finessed him and I sneaked him in one night and yeah.'' shrugs and giggles. ''I had like the biggest crush but then he kind of like grew tired of me..'' pouts slightly ''... eventually I got over it, though.'' shrugs dismissively ''But woah, this is so bizzare.''
MONA
stares wide-eyed, listens, shook "Holy shit... He wasn't like, your first or anything, right?" pulls out her phone "I'm texting him right now. Can I invite him over?" laughs, shakes head "This is insane." laughs some more "And you genuinely liked him? Wild." laughs
SASHA
laughs. ''I mean, there was a guy before him but I was really young and  he was basically the first guy I ever had like real sex with but no, he didn't actually took my virginity, my neighbor Jason did when I was even younger.'' laughs and covers her mouth, shaking her hand. ''OH MY GOD! I haven't seen him in forever, that's so embarrassing.'' laughs and nods, figuring that this was truly the most problematic thing happening in her life in the past year or so. ''I liked him so much.'' shakes head, still laughing. ''I thought he was the hottest dude around. - I mean, he is kinda hot but please don't tell Mike I said that.'' chuckles
MONA
finishes writing out her text to marlon, focuses on sasha again "This is truly the strangest coincidence. I'm glad he didn't take your virginity though. That'd make him coming over here a little more awkward than this is already gonna be. " literally just laughs some more, trying to stop, failing "Dude, he's so hot. In a hot chicken kinda way, but hot. Obviously, I think so. I like... risked it all for him. We stayed friends though. Which is truly amazing."
SASHA
nods in agreement ''I only said kinda because I thought you would judge me but yes, he is 100% hot.'' laughs ''He just looks so different from everyone around and his face is so, so nice and okay I shouldn't be saying this but he was like actually good in bed in a lazy, high, kind of way. - I think that made him even hotter.''
MONA
"Why would I judge you? After that story I just told with him as the other person in the scenario? This is a judgment free zone." replies to marlon, continues talking "Oh god, we really shouldn't be discussing this.. but yeah. Those days where it just Marlon and I and a bunch of coke and molly? Some of my best days." groans, shakes head "Don't ever repeat this, obvi."
SASHA
''Of course I won't.'' laughs ''He 100% used me back then, we had sex like four times and he would never even call me or anything.'' shakes head and laughs ''I mean, it was enough for me because it meant he gave me a tiny bit of his attention andâ''  M(arlon): literally walks in as if he's walking into his own apartment. ''Ramona, this better be good or else I swear I will shove my fist up yoâ'' stops when he notices she has company. furrows brows  S(asha): looks kind of terrified but laughs ''Hi.''  M: raises eyebrows ''What are you doing here?'' looks at Mona ''What's going on?''
MONA
is kind of saddened by her story, doesn't have time to respond "Hey!" looks in between the two of them, a cruel smirk on her face "Marlon, this is my new friend Sasha."
SASHA
S: smiles mischievously and nods ''I'm sure you don't remember me.'' M: raises an eyebrow and shakes head, pretending to be oblivious even though he remembers every single lil detail about sasha ''I don't.'' shrugs, looking back at Mona ''Did you just bring me here to introduce me to a friend?''
MONA
scoffs, offended for her new friend sasha "Marlon, cut the shit. I can see it in your eyes, I know you know who she is, so how about not making her feel even worse than you did when you fucked her and ditched her all those years ago." rolls eyes, looks to sasha "Clearly, you missed out on nothing by him ghosting you."
SASHA
S: smirks, loving mona's attitude ''Yeah, trash.'' Â Â M: exhales deeply ''Did you expect me to propose?'' asks sasha, raising an eyebrow ''What are you two even doing together?'' Â Â S: ''Not really, a call would've been nice.'' shrugs M: ''It was ten years ago, Sasha. Move on, maybe?'' gives her a look ''Forreal, what's up?''
MONA
"Ah, so you do remember." shakes head "I gotta say, my sister really hit the jackpot with this one." is entertained by the whole situation "Nothing's up. We're friends now. Preston is buddies with her boyfriend, we met through them and realized that we kinda have a lot of common... Clearly more in common than we originally thought since we've now learned that we've both seen a scrawny chicken boy naked."
SASHA
S: laughs, shaking her head. ''I mean, I don't blame him. I've been told I tend to leave an impact on people.'' smirks, grabs her bowl of chips again.
M: Â shakes head, staring at sasha and shaking his head when he sees the chips ''See, that's exactly why we never worked out. Why would I ever trust a stan of chips covered in ketchup?'' makes a face ''Disgusting.''Â
S: ''Hey!, don't be a hater.'' rolls eyes at him, hugging the bowlÂ
M: chuckles ''I guess rich, spoiled brats have a thing for scrawny chicken boys like me.'' smirks ''I can't blame y'all. I would too if I was dating the men you all seem to date.''
MONA
claps hands together, grins "This is amazing." turns to marlon "I was giving her a crash course, like on who I am as a person and why all the drama in my life isn't fun, so I mentioned that leak that happened a couple months back. And she was like no way, details please. And I showed her your pic and she was shook to learn that it was you. I am shook to learn that you two banged... Literally when she was so young, but we'll save that conversation." drapes an arm over marlon's shoulder " But yeah, I was telling her about we're bestest friends and you looove me." pulls him into a hug, dramatically kisses his cheek
SASHA
S: eats her chips, laughs at the summary ''Aww, I'm lowkey sad you guys didn't work out. It would've been so cute.'' half joking
M: nods and looks like the cloe meme as soon as mona is all over him but doesn't even move. looks down at his best friend ''Can you.. not?'' rolls eyes when she kisses his cheek but stays put ''I love her so much she's pulling this type of shit right now and I still haven't punched her in the face.
S: laughs and hums, putting her bowl down and walking over to him and grabbing his face before kissing his other cheek. laughs.Â
M: shakes head and pushes the two of them away. ''Get off.''
MONA
"Nah, it was for the best. If the two of us actually became a thing, we probably both would have OD'd by now. Plus, there'd be no Venecia and that isn't even a world I'd like to live in." chuckles when sasha joins in, squeezes him even tighter, scoffs when he pushes them away "I mean, technically we have both gotten you off before... if that's what you meant by get off." winks, knows she's being horribly problematic
SASHA
S: rolls eyes and laughs, eating her chips again. ''I got you off several times. - Remember that one time  I got you off like twice in a three minutes period?'' smirks and looks at mona ''That was my personal best. I did good.'' chuckles
M: Knows hes going to hell and laughs at mona's problematic comment, shaking his head and narrowing his eyes at sasha. ''You want a medal?''
MONA
"Twice in 3 minutes? His little chicken dick was probably weeping with joy that it got THE Sasha," pauses, thinks "I don't know your last name, to BLESS it with her touch." shrugs "I don't know. I think she deserves a medal."
SASHA
S: laughs at mona's comment and nods ''He was so shocked, you could tell I was basically changing his life. - Sasha Cole, that's me.'' laughs ''It's such a pornstar name but I guess it goes well with my life-changing sex skills.'' smirks
M: ''You were also sixteen and I was a grown adult so we should probably never discuss that ever again.'' rolls eyes
S: shrugs ''That didn't stop you from fucking me, did it?''
M: ''It did.'' gives her a look. ''I'm guessing your men don't know y'all are speaking so fondly of my dick, do they?''
MONA
just observes the dynamic of the two of them, so intrigued "Huh. So your morals came into play, just way too late in the game?" shakes head "You guys were so messy. I love it." shrugs "Nobody's man gotta know about this conversation just like your woman doesn't need to know. Simple as that." ven starts crying on the baby monitor, nipples immediately begin to ache and leak "Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back!"
SASHA
S: hums, frowns ''Is that seriously why you never contacted me again?'' furrows brows ''Because of my age?''
M: ''Yes, Sasha. Are you gon' cry about it?'' rolls eyes at her. ''Why would I ever tell anyone about this meeting?'' is immediately interested by P's knives and grabs one, is weirdly fascinated by it.
S: furrows brows and can't believe she's somehow feeling somewhat attracted to marlon at that very moment ''Preston doesn't like people touching stuff, you know?'' brows still furrowed
M: looks at S, staring at her for a second. ''Are you telling him I went through his shit?''
MONA
literally takes her time getting ven, debates feeding her but knows she needs to go back to her guests, carries ven out in her arms "MARLON!! What are you doing? Put that down!" hurries over "Give me that. Now." looks around frantically "Sash, here." unceremoniously hands ven over to ketchup hands, ven is now crYING "I'm not even allowed to touch these, why would you be?" looks through drawers for a cloth to wipe marlon's prints off with, puts hand out for the knife
SASHA
S: jumps a little at mona's reaction and struggles to grab ven without making a ketchup mess all over her baby clothes. starts to kinda rock the baby to sooth her but is watching the whole thing go down with furrowed brows
M: looks mad confused ''What the fuck are you doing?'' gives her the knife ''What.. the fuck.... are you seriously wiping prints off the knife?'' ainsley's face hits his mind ''Stop doing that.'' shakes aisnley's face away and furrows browsÂ
S: ''Shh, it's okay baby.'' rocks ven
MONA
literally ignores him, wipes the knife off soo thoroughly, carefully inspects it for any leftover marks, hums in satisfaction, returns it to its rightful place "Sorry, he just notices things, okay? And literally like the one rule I have here is to never touch the knives." sighs, stressed suddenly, takes a bottle from the fridge for ven and warms it, holds it out to sasha "It's not you, she's hungry."
SASHA
M:Â He's deadass so weird.'' shakes head ''You really gon' make ketchup hands feed your child?'' shakes head and takes ven from Sasha with one hand and the bottle with the other, showing pro skills at the whole thing. starts feeding ven and the baby is suddenly quiet and happy to be eating.
S: everything happens so fast that she's just observing, chuckling at how smooth marlon was at taking the baby and feeding her ''That's kinda hot.'' is wide eyed when she realizes she said that out loud.
MONA
"Ketchup hands was the one without a knife. I had to make a decision." shrugs, watches, smiles as he feeds his niece Clearly, you've had lots of practice." raises brows at sasha's comment, knows they've def crossed a line at this point "Sasha!" shakes head, chuckles "Was this a bad idea inviting Marlon over?"
SASHA
M: shrugs, not seeing the big deal ''Being a dad teaches you a thing or two.''
S: giggles and her cheeks start heating up. changes the topic. ''I mean, yeah. Good dads, though.'' shrugs ''Ven's dad can't relate.''
M: raises an eyebrow ''You got something to say, Sasha?''Â
S: laughs ''Hm, yeah. Ven's dad is a flop.'' shrugs, goes back to her chips.
M: ''Your dad is a flop. I mean, his teenage daughter was out there finessing grown man into fucking her.'' furrows brows
S: furrows brows, offended
MONA
cringes, really don't wanna be a part of a convo about fab, lowkey relieved when marlon changes the topic a lil, walks over, lightly and playfully slaps him on the side of his face "What teenager doesn't finesse grown men into fucking them? Shut up." goes over to sasha, pulls her into a hug "Stop being mean to my friend."
SASHA
S: is mad and lowkey sad because she ain't used to people being mean to her ''You were the adult so technically you were the one responsible for it.'' crosses arms over her chest and leans into mona's touchÂ
M: ''Right, that's exactly why I ended it.'' is annoyed ''Seriously, this was years ago, why are you so pressed? Chill.''Â
S: stays quiet and shrugs
MONA
frowns really upset by the turn this is taking "You're literally just being mean, Marlon." notices sasha going quiet, hugs her tighter, really ain't trying to lose this friend already just bc marlon is mean "Anyways. This was fun and all, but you can go now, Mar."
SASHA
S: gives him a look. ''What do you even get out of being so mean?'' frownsÂ
M: rolls eyes so far back he caught a glimpse of his brain ''Man, are you still sixteen?'' shakes head and furrows brows before looking down at ven and kissing her cheek and then her forehead. ''Take her.'' carefully hands her to MonaÂ
S: shrugs slightly again, frowning and hugging mona back ''You're gross.'' @marlon
MONA
frowns, gladly accepts her child, literally just ready for this all to be over "I'll talk to you later, okay?" also @ marlon
SASHA
M: gives mona a look ''Apologize to Hazel, you were gross.'' turns and stares at S for a quick second and reaches for her face, pinches her cheek. ''Toughen up, you're grown now.'' narrows eyes at her. ''You're cute.'' smiles, walks away fully aware he just rocked her world again.
S: is sixteen again and looks up at him, feeling flustered when he calls her cute and furrowing her brows when he leaves
MONA
rolls eyes "Yeah, obviously I will." watches his interaction with sasha, confused and kind of disgusted, shakes head "Alright, enough of that." shuffles him to the door, her hand on his back basically pushing him out "Goodbye, Marlon... We're definitely talking soon."
SASHA
looks like she's about to cry, grabs her bowl but there's nothing there. pouts.
MONA
shuts the door, turns just in time to see sasha's face "Please don't cry!" hurries over and pulls her into another hug, ven squished in the middle "I am so sorry, that was an awful idea."

January 10, 2019 12:13 pm
itâs a week after i planned on writing an update, but itâs a thursday so iâm technically on time. I worked tuesday, as i said, and on wednesday rose came over. we first went to the mall so i could show her how decrepit it was, and got auntie anneâs there. I like the mini pretzel dogs, but hate the hot dogs inside them; i just like how the pretzels are rolled up to look like croissants and how the hot dogs imbue the bread with that umami flavor. Then we went back to my place and watched train to busan (the main character was the same guy from coffee prince!), and then went to baanchan for dinner. I remember that she borrowed a shirt and got a stain on it and took it home and said shed wash it but i canât remember which one. thursday and friday i just kinda lazed around, relaxed for a few days before the semester started. i signed up for postmates, and just today i got an email saying the prepaid card was sent to my address so iâll activate it when i get home. the weekend was work, as always.
i would like to thank every god for allowing me to live so close to campus, because if i had to wake up any earlier for my 7:30 am calc class i would die. On the first day I woke up at 6, but tbh the earlier i have to wake up, the longer i have to take to get ready so I was kinda rushing and ended up forgetting my wallet. I didnât want to give up my parking space to go back to get it, so I took the on campus shuttle back to my apartment to pick it up, since i needed my id to get my textbooks. got my textbooks (with no line whatsoever!), went to my evening classes, then went home. oh, and apparently iâm so bad at math. i saw my scheduleâs weekly chart and said âoh nice, i have a 4 hour gap in the middle of the day for studying or getting lunchâ but apparently itâs a 7 hour gap, from 8 am to 3 pm. coolio.
my calc professor was a bit timid, and has a slight accent. the first day i made the mistake of sitting in the back like last year, and could not focus on a word he said. psychology was chill, we just covered the syllabus. apparently, the psychology department (not my professor) mandates that all intro psych classesâ grades are 10% participating in psychology studies, bc otherwise nobody would volunteer to help them. i hate being forced to do anything, so of course Iâm gonna lie and fuck with their studies. asl was my fav class, itâs at 6:30 when campus is empty. we just learned the alphabet (and by that i mean she ran through it once and then we had to go to the front of the class and introduce ourselves). the whole class is immersive, meaning that even on the FIRST day of class we werenât allowed to speak. as if i understood a single thing she said. thereâs a cute girl in that class, we didnt speak to each other (obvs) but when i got stuck while introducing myself, she helped me out since she was in the front row. can i just say iâm PISSED that it seemed like everyone was fluent in asl while i barely knew the alphabet. yall this is an introductory class.
tuesday was a disaster. i woke up at 6 again, but was so beat from the day before that I decided to skip calc, on the grounds that it was all just review and the first unit was my best anyways. i forgot to set a follow up alarm, though, so i woke up naturally at 8:55. and then looked at my class schedule. and saw that my next class was at 9. luckily since i live by campus i was only 6 minutes late, but i forgot literally everything (didnât bring my phone or my backpack) except for my wallet. I didnât even have time to shower, or brush my teeth, or comb my hair. immediately after i was done with that class i went home and did all of those. I also went to the pet store to get a new filter for my fish, since my last one broke (after 2 years of having it, which i think is a good lifespan). I installed that, knit more of my gloves, then went back on campus for programming at 6. The professor didnât even cover the syllabus, he just jumped straight into the lecture. one kid asked about the structure of the class, and at that point he gave a quick summary. it was clear we were all expecting him to start the lecture with the syllabus. iâm so annoyed that last semester i deleted codeblocks, the program used in the course, because i thought i was done with it, and now i have to reinstall it. tuesday evening i watched hitchhikerâs guide to the galaxy, which i watched when i was like, 7, but forgot most of.Â
wednesday, i woke up at 5:30, so that i would have more time to get ready. I sat in the front of calc, and took really great notes. we finally started getting into psychology, all about behavior and stuff. I did one of their stupid studies before class, it was this survey about âhuman social perceptionâ but honestly it was asking about how lonely i am. and when you have to actually sit there and quantify how many friends you have, and how often you see them, it really puts it into perspective. kinda felt called out.
ya know how every semester, i creep on webcoursesâ list of students in my class? well the cute girl in asl is named âannaâ (as per how she introduced herself, it was the only name i could catch), and thereâs only one anna in the class, and she has a crazy last name so it was p easy to find her on ig and twitter. i was scrolling down her twitter when i accidentally liked one of her tweets. i quickly unliked it, and i didnât think she would have gotten the notification bc it was a retweet anyways, but shortly after that she followed me. and then i remembered that my most recent tweet was âso uhh whos gonna tell the cute girl in my asl class that i want to go out with her bc it sure as hell ainât gonna be meâ (cue my death). i deleted it and hoped she didnât see it, but honestly if she followed me she prob saw it. i hoped that maybe bc i donât have my real name listed on twitter that she wouldnât know it was me, but in class i introduced myself as âjayâ bc i forgot the symbol for s. pls kill me. and this all happened like 10 minutes before class started. I sat in the back, though, so we werenât near each other. but at the end of the class we did an activity where we got a card with a word, and we had to find the person with the same card by signing it. we did like 4 rounds, and i was hoping we wouldnât be together, but in the last round we were. we didnât talk tho, and as soon as it was over i was gone.Â
despite my period being nowhere near, i had a huge depressive episode last night. like, by her ig and twitter, sheâs a Distinguished Gay in which she did a high school summer program with Stanford where she did heart surgery on a porcupine, and was an award winning thespian, and has tons of friends and a supportive family, where iâm the complete opposite: no friends, failed 3 classes, family hates me, chose a low paying career, needs alcohol to cope with life. This is one case where opposites donât attract: sheâs not gonna want to be with someone whose life is a complete mess. And then i just got to thinking about how rose tells me that mom lowkey thinks Iâm a complete dissapointment for being gay and she only puts up with me bc itâs the muslim thing to do, and how the only way i can make her happy is me being single my whole life so she wouldnât have to know. how i can never have love. and then rose texted asking for an update and i just kinda lashed out at her. why does she feel the need to tell me about mom talking shit? why would i want to hear that? yea i get the whole âdonât let others talk shit behind my backâ idea but sometimes ignorance is bliss. i just donât want to feel like a pile of shit for once in a while. and of course Iâm still so resentful about the way that mom and dad treat rose like a damn golden child while iâve never gotten 1/10 of the support she has.
This morning i went to calc, then comp, didnât really pay attention in either. while in comp, heather texted me and was like âwe should meet up soon.â rose also texted me; last week we were planning to meet up today but it was kinda dicey since we had that issue last night. and anyways at 11 she said âi got a job interview with izziban at 4, should i goâ and i was just like âyea sureâ bc i really donât give a fuck. she always puts everything before me so why bother. then she got all like âif somethingâs wrong you need to tell me i canât help if i donât know whatâs wrongâ like, how about you read what i sent you last night, that details EVERYTHING thatâs wrong. she later said she was gonna skip the interview bc she already has a job and sheâs gonna do uber eats, and that she was just gonna have lunch with mom (since mom loves her enough to cook for her) and then head out my way. heather responded that we should meet at 1 today, so i told rose. rose said âshould i wait for yall to finish and then come by?â but i havent responded bc i donât want to see her (ever again).
I soft blocked anna on twitter bc i didnât want her to see me talking about how i wanted to kill myself on main lmao. anyways iâm gonna go get a smoothie.

I want to set the record straight for anyone who doesn't know what's really up with Kit Dummet and the lies they've attempted to tell about me the last couple of years. I hung out with Kit Dummet only a few times in person, only ever in big groups. Never just us two, never not in the presence of a bunch of people. One of those times was at Halloween Horror Nights in the fall of 2013. I was sixteen at the time. I met up with Kit and their friends and we had a cool time, it was a really normal night and I kept to myself. We'd talked about hooking up that night but didn't get to because we couldn't separate from our group and it was a Saturday night, the most crowded night of HHN. Kit and I remained friends for a while after until we had an unrelated falling out within our friend group. It was definitely an absolute shock to find out years later that they were telling people we had a sexual encounter at Universal Studios with a group of their friends present, and especially that I crossed some line of consent. It literally just didn't happen, Kit and I didn't actually get to engage each other physically EVER because we were always surrounded by people whenever we did hang out. It especially didn't happen at a crowded theme park with a group of friends and a sea of strangers surrounding us. We never split from the group. I didn't make any kind of sexual advance on them for the same reasons I've stated here and the same reasons I stated two years ago. * People from the group of friends that night have expressed to me themselves that they don't remember anything like that taking place at any point in the night. It literally could not have. * Victims should be listened to. If Kit had any kind of basis where we had hooked up and I'd misread verbal consent and crossed a line, I would absolutely take accountability because I have a conscience and I would not leave something like that unresolved. If there were any basis for this, I would listen because victims of abuse and assault should be heard. But it just didn't happen, we never kissed or even touched. We talked about it via text but being 16 years old, sexually inexperienced and nervous in person plus living hours apart and not having transportation did not allow for it. The fact that we'd never spent a single moment outside of the presence of friends and strangers didn't allow for it either. Every single time we did hang out, the circumstances didn't allow for it. There's no basis to it and that's why it still confuses me. People who know me are well aware that I've nearly gone to prison for not tolerating things in the realm of abuse & assault and giving someone guilty of it the punishment they deserved. Not trying to snitch on myself but everyone in my personal life knows how strongly I feel against letting those people go unpunished. I understand why you'd read an allegation and side with the victim, it's only sound moral principle and it's the course of action that I also usually take. In this specific instance, please apply a different way of thinking than something so black & white. I urge you to pay attention not just to what I'm saying here, but how Kit has erased and ignored victims who've let them know that their partner has done horrible things to them. They faced scrutiny for that a while back but I think they're under the impression that people forgot about it. Kit attempting to ruin my name while dating someone who's been accused of so many terrible things, and to my knowledge outright telling the victims that they weren't telling the truth, is literally astounding to me. Kit also spread around somebody's nudes a while back and never took any sort of accountability for that. I've had to block several Instagram accounts belonging to Kit and their partner from stalking my Instagram story that I didn't realize had been watching my story for actual months. It's been legitimately creepy and doesn't at all line up with the narrative that they're afraid of me or some shit like that. I made my account private for a period of time so they'd stop trying to go on my account, but they didn't quit until recently. A lot of people don't know about these things so I'm 100% understanding of people who repost awareness without knowing what's up. I get it. But I legitimately don't get why an actual sociopath who's dating an alleged serial abuser is bent on spreading lies about me. There's not much else to say besides that it didn't happen. I've got to be straight up about that. There would've been no opportunity for Kit and I to hook up in the entire time that we knew each other. I said all of this years ago and I'll say it again now. It's a lot of repetition of the same things and I do wish there were more to say about it. I'm open to answering literally any questions about this and have A LOT more receipts that I posted in February 2016 showing that this person should not be trusted. Two years ago, it hurt terribly that someone would spread baseless lies about me and take advantage of the fact that people side with victims based on principle. Now, I'm not going to let that continue because the truth should be known. I cannot take accountability if there is nothing to take accountability for. If you scroll down on this tumblr page, you'll find my post from 2 years ago with some attached screenshots. It tells the exact same story I'm telling here but with more detail, I explain my entire time knowing Kit and some big red flags that lead to my friends and I deciding we didn't want to know them anymore. It's a lot to read but it's the whole shit. Also posted screenshots of the finsta/alt IG accounts Kit and their partner were using to watch my story before I realized and blocked them. I'm not the one.
