Greetings. I once again return with my shameless promotion of my friend's fic, Tangled Memories. I warned you, @honeybubbletea33 Going around, slapping me with fanart with absolutely zero warning... I was going to get you back. And here I am.
It's of the most recent chapter! :D With all the exquisite angst I theorized would happen many moons ago. AND YEE, I'M SORRY. I HAD IT BE ONE OF MY "INKTOBERTALE NOT INKTOBERTALE" DRAWINGS 'CUS I THOUGHT IT WOULD FIT- (I mean, they were arguing, they were having an argument. So, I just made the day 9 prompt also benefit as fanart, you understand, right-)
You may have one question; where's the purple vial?? Uh... out of frame. Maybe Ink's holding it with his other hand. It's down by his feet. Idk, man. And also, I... I didn't know how to do the map on the wall, so I just tried my best ;_; (It one of those things that look a m a z i n g in your head but is h e l l to actually draw wheezee-)
Here's two other versions without the filter and without the captions. I'll let you be the judge which is actually better lmao

I've got ideas and a theory for the recent welcome home updates (10/18/2024)
Walk with me-
So that short story alone already showed pulling ideas from Edgar Allen Poe with the tell-tale heart and the cast of amontillado
(I wouldnt be shocked if they reference other Edgar Allen poes works like the raven soon but that's me cheating to peek at clowns kofi and I won't speak further on that-)
Basically Sally is doing a rendition of the tell-tale heart and poppy got cast....only she doesn't want to be involved. It's a scary tale, and for those who didn't take advanced English
The story of the tell-tale hearts about a man so absolutely freaked out by this old man's eyes to quote
'I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture- a pale blue eye, with a film over it.'
So the man sets out to kill him, does so by lurking in the dark for 7 straight nights till finally the 8th night he finally does so, dismembered him and hide the pieces under the floorboards!
But when police came to investigate...he could hear both but a beating heart under the floors and from his guilt he admitted to the murder and ended the tale with
'"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed!- tear up the planks!-here, here!- it is the beating of his hideous heart!"
So already Sally doing a rendition of this tale is wild already as I imagine it's been changed to be more family friendly for the neighborhood, but poppy isn't up for it.
Tumblr media
And Sally's sad about it! And of course the neighbors all know why poppy actually didn't wanna do it. And Sally trying to be a good friend realized the play scares her so they gotta do something to let poppy have her cozy state of mind away from anxiety
So they form their plan-
Tumblr media
To cask of amontillado her into her house, brick by brick.
Another famous story by Edgar Allen Poe, that one is about a guy luring someone he had a dispute over into a cellar and bricking him up down there to rot.
It's a revenge story, one we have no details other than a man was wronged (we never learn the reason) his anger and vengeance taking center stage.
Through the entire story time, the neighbors are supposed to be following a book along as a read aloud story but they keep breaking into separate lil conversations or making quips to each other... Till the end where audio is lost on the rest of the story after poppy was bricked away.
Tumblr media
However...
Because we have the secret website we can check there and what's found was....worse
Poppy in the dark of her barn and something is lurking with her in the dark.
By the end someone gets her out but the sounds of the people aren't named... although they sound familiar to us
I could say what we were all thinking and state the obvious "oh those must be the puppeteers! That was poppy's puppeteer having a freak out moment-"
Which I personally agree but there's more to it.
Do y'all know how big birds puppet works?
Tumblr media
It's one person in there, with a screen to tell you where to go and a script taped inside while they maneuver around like this!
Tumblr media
I imagine poppy is the same way since she's based design wise off big bird
Now with this in mind, add how hard it is to move or see or perceive where you are in general in that suit. How clasterphobic your gonna be if you can't get out!
I get clasterphobic trying to get out of a dress that fits too tight at the store, I can't imagine how scary this would be especially if your on your own in the dark room as well!
with only your lantern to read your lines and something to occupy yourself- maybe knitting as it's a hobby you picked up-
When you hear breathing that's not yours. From within the suit. A suit that's JUST big enough for you, mind you.
So it be impossible for anyone else to be breathing...only you forgot someone.
The puppet suit itself...is breathing.
And there's scratching at the door, something else is lurking in the dark with you but you can't see it. You can't get out, the suit can't leave but your mind is stuck the doors open but in another world it's closed and sealed-
But I'm getting ahead of myself
What is said is...what if that IS poppy reacting in the dark to something...but also it's the puppeteers reaction to poppy as well. They share a mind and A space for a moment in the dark where their fear matches them and it doesn't break till the door opens and the puppeteers talk..
I think the horror is going higher as both sides are gonna start interacting more and more with each other..

I Can't Quit You
Tumblr media
Regina George x Reader
Word Count: 1k
Trigger Warnings: in denial Regina, make-out descriptions
Request:
Valentine's / Followers Celebration; Regina George w/ quote 7 and piece of chocolate 7. Or: “I can't see anything I don't like about you.” w/ falling in love.
Valentine's / Followers Celebration requests are closed.
Regina George was the ice queen of North Shore High School. She implemented fear into her classmates, or subjects, with just one startling look from her cold, blue eyes. If looks could kill, everyone at North Shore would be dead. However, at this moment, Regina found that she was the one terrified. And all because her long-time best friend with benefits smiled at her from across the hall. She swore that her heart now had an irregular heartbeat thanks to the rush it got before it was palpitated. Her face flushed and she experienced an involuntary action of her hand raising unconsciously and waving. When Regina realized what she was doing, her fingers twitched as she quickly turned away to walk into her classroom.
Admittedly, she had never experienced anything like this in her entire life. She had crushed on people before, but this feeling was entirely new. This was more than a simple crush, but she refused to say the diagnosis of this feeling out loud. She was falling in love, and Regina was terrified. When people are in love, they are soft and have a new perspective on life. Why would Regina want that? She couldn't fall in love, she was supposed to marry for money, like her mother did. Still, she couldn't help the giddy feeling flooding her chest as (Y/n) crossed her mind.
When lunchtime eventually made its way around, Regina was still cursing herself for feeling the way she did. She was trying to remind herself that 'love' was for the weak-minded. Regina was not weak-minded. She didn't understand why she couldn't just stop herself from feeling this way. It was easy when it came to Aaron and Shane. Though, she never actually felt anything for them. Why couldn't she just will away the feeling she got when (Y/n) walked into the lunchroom, saying 'hello' to all of her friends? Regina momentarily forgot that she wasn't supposed to be admiring her bright grin, but she couldn't help but fixate on it until their eyes made contact with each other.
"Hello, ladies," (Y/n) approached the Plastics table, everyone greeting her warmly. The only person who didn't speak was Regina, but she did throw a kind smile her way. She was nervous that if she spoke, she would word vomit all of her feelings in front of everyone. She couldn't show weakness in front of the Plastics, nor could she show weakness in front of everyone in the lunchroom. "I was hoping I could politely steal away Regina for just a moment."
Regina got up before following (Y/n) to their usual spot. Typically, they would make out right about now, but neither of them made the move. Instead, they shared a smile. "What's wrong, Regina? You don't really seem like yourself today." Regina was perplexed that (Y/n) noticed such a detail. After all, they didn't share very many classes, so all she had to work off of was limited texts due to class and smiles as they passed each other through the halls. This did not help Regina as she found herself unable to repress the feeling that caused a swarm of butterflies to invade her stomach.
“I can't see anything I don't like about you,” Regina admitted quietly, bracing herself for rejection. Instead, (Y/n)'s brows furrowed in confusion, prompting Regina to continue. Nerves bundled in her chest as she crossed her arms, unconsciously using this as a way to protect herself from her own feelings and fear of rejection. (Y/n), ever so observant, noticed this action as she placed a careful hand on Regina's arm to let her know it was going to be okay. "I'm not someone who falls for others. I'm used to having people fall for me. Then, you came along, we became friends, then more… and, now, I want even more than that. I can't quit you no matter how terrified I am of this feeling."
(Y/n) listened to Regina, shock filling her body as she stared at Regina for a long moment. She felt the same way, she was just surprised that Regina was the one who said it first. "I understand completely. I can't quit you either. Feelings like these are terrifying. But, maybe we can take it slow. We can go on dates, and do more than just make out." (Y/n) suggested gently, hoping this appease Regina. She knew out of the two of them, it would be Regina who would struggle with her feelings. Additionally, she imagined this conversation many times before and this was her best solution to how to help ease any of Regina's fears.
There was a moment of silence as (Y/n) gave Regina the time to think about her words. "We can take it slow, but I don't want to just be friends. I was scared to admit my feelings for you because I thought people might think I was too soft. Truth is, I am, for you. I can't just be your friend. So, if it's okay with you… as we explore this relationship together, can we be a couple?" Regina questioned.
(Y/n) nodded softly, kissing Regina softly. "We can. Does being a couple mean being girlfriends? Or, are we just talking?" She asked softly, her hand still on Regina's arm. Only now, her thumb was rubbing Regina's arm comfortingly as they talked. They've had deep discussions like this before, but this was different. This was about them, not about others or little complaints about their days. Whatever happened next would define them as people for however long they would let it.
Regina took one of (Y/n)'s hands into hers as she smiled softly. She could feel herself falling more in love (Y/n) at just the feeling of their fingertips briefly touching before their fingers laced together happily. "I want to be your girlfriend," Regina confirmed before pressing a gentle kiss onto (Y/n)'s lips. The action was reciprocated happily as the two spent the rest of their lunch hidden away in their usual supply closet. Regina decided that those who considered her weak because she was in a relationship would be in for a wake-up call because, if anything (Y/n) made her stronger.

Put It Straight
Miguel O’Hara x M!Reader
Tumblr media
[Part 2]
Warnings: angst and swearing
Quote: “This is none of your business! So just go home!”
✁ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Y/n was one the few non-spider people working at the spider society. He worked as Miguel’s right hand man because Miguel couldn’t stand leaving y/n alone by himself and because they were dating.
It was a “normal” day in the beginning, but Miguel went off to a meeting, while y/n was on his break. But all of a sudden an alarm went off and everyone got an alert to go after Miles. Y/n knew about the kid, Gwen talked about him all the time. Y/n would occasionally tease her about it.
There were hundreds of different variants of Spider-Man chasing Miles, but one stood out from the rest, Miguel. Miguel seemed ruthless, like he wanted to kill the kid, and y/n was concerned. But what made y/n snap was when Miguel sent Gwen back to her universe.
When Miguel turned around, he saw a fuming y/n.
“Miguel what the fuck was that!” Yelled y/n.
Y/n was one of the only people who could yell at Miguel like that. If anyone else dared to talk to Miguel that way, they were bound to either be dead or in the Er.
“Baby, Not now” Miguel Said.
He was clearly frustrated but didn’t want to yell at y/n.
“Are you fucking kidding me? Not now? You just sent the kid home, where her own father is trying to arrest her! And you see nothing wrong with that!” Y/n yelled.
“Y/n you don’t get it” Miguel said.
“I don’t get it!? First you chased Miles throughout the whole city! And now you sent Gwen home where she could possibly be in danger!” Y/n said.
“He wasn’t supposed to even be here! Because of him, the universe could be destroyed! He found out that his dad was going to die! So he tried to prevent that! He could have destroyed the universe! And for Gwen, she is the whole reason why he is even here to begin with! There! You happy?!” Miguel snapped in anger.
“So you’re saying that he is trying to prevent his dad from dying and you’re trying to stop him?!” Y/n yelled with just as much anger.
“It has happened to all of us! And it’s the consequences of his actions! If he hadn’t followed Gwen then all of this wouldn’t have happened!” Miguel yelled.
“So you’re just going to let the kid’s dad die?! Hasn’t he been through enough, he had to watch his uncle die and now you want him to watch his dad die too?!” Y/n said.
“This is none of your business! So just go home!” Miguel said.
“Weren’t you the one begging for me to come here to work with you? And now it’s none of my business!” Y/n said.
“Y/n- watch who you’re talking to like that, don’t think for one second that I won’t-”
“You won’t what Miguel O’Hara?! I tried, I really tried to understand why you acted like this! I’m sorry, but I’m leaving to go help the kid” Y/n said as he walked away.
“And how exactly do you plan on traveling other universes? You don’t even have a watch!” Miguel said.
“With this” y/n held out a watch while still walking.
Miguel immediately looked at his wrist and noticed that his watch was gone, and started to look y/n and realized y/n took his watch as y/n opened a portal.
“Y/n don’t! You could get killed!” Miguel yelled.
Y/n turned to look back at Miguel one last time with tears in his eyes.
“I love you Miguel” y/n said as he walked inside of the portal.

BETTER LUCK TOMORROW - introduction ! senior project
pairing : nishimura riki x reader
synopsis : after being in the wrong place at the wrong time, you (as well as your friends), were framed for the death of your brother and disappearance of your boyfriend. you all had no hope. no job, no money, none of you were even allowed to graduate. at least, until a stubborn kid on a dance scholarship suddenly acts as your savior, riki helps clear your name all for the sake of a school project.
this episode contains the following : 1.3k wc, brief swearing, mentions of death & mentions of murder/killing, lots of dialogue
previous | masterlist | next
“as you all know, you have a major senior project due by the end of the year for part of your college interviews. this will be worth 90% of your grade and is not optional. any questions to far?” riki’s english teacher read off the whiteboard, before turning to face the class.
she cleared her throat loudly before continuing.
“late work will not be accepted, because you have until may 25 to get this project submitted. everyone should know which college they plan on attending, or applying to by now. a google slides format must be be at least 25 slides, and a word doc should be at least 10 pages.”
jungwon quoted the teacher, explaining to riki what’s expected of them after he realized riki hadn’t been paying attention.
“how the hell did you remember all she said? and- why are you even here.. you’re like, a freshman in college.” riki noticed, with a visible look of confusion on his face.
“sophomore, actually. and i’m here for volunteer work! we have finals too you know. i was telling you and sunoo about this last week, but it’s for my social thought class!-” jungwon explained with a smile, only for it to drop as he was cut off .“yeah yeah okay. so what kind of topic am i supposed to pick?” riki asked before crumpling up a random paper into a ball, tossing it in jungwons direction.
jungwon let out a sigh. “riki, you really need to do better. if you can’t improve how you act, that impact will show on my grade as well. and that won’t be good for either of us.” he said as he took the paper ball, unfolding it to reveal riki’s report card from last quarter. it wasn’t too bad really, mainly straight a and b minuses. but the biggest issue, was behavior and participation.
“how would your grade tanking be bad on me? i still have until fall before i start going to ucla.”
“i really don’t know how you got in.” jungwon shook his head.
“dance scholarship. duh.” “nishimura riki! you have 7 more minutes to determine your main topic. i recommend that you use your time more wisely.” the teacher called out from her desk.
“okay seriously, now we have to focus. what topics are you interested in?” jungwon asked, as he pulled his notebook out.
“well, i like dancing. i can research the history on different dance styles.” riki shrugged, loosely putting an idea out there.
“that’s actually not that bad, especially as a dance major. let’s sit on that idea for a bit in case anything else comes up. what else do you like?” jungwon hummed while briefly scribbling a few notes in.
“i don’t even get why i still have to do this stupid assignment when i already heard back from ucla. if anything it’s a waste of my time, because this only benefits the kids who haven’t heard back yet.” riki complained.
“well,” jungwon chuckled. “the start of the fall semester is still a while from now, anything can change by then. they’re still gonna be looking at your final report card and all that. this is just to determine that your slot in that school is ensured. i think the you from freshman year would be proud to see you improve.”
but of course, he wasn’t listening. riki was hyper focused on his computer. at least until the last sentence stuck out to him.
“say that again?” riki questioned, making sure he heard jungwon right.
“the you from three years ago would be proud if you improved?” he repeated an improvised version, with a raised brow.
riki chewed on the bottom of his pen, before hastily writing something down on jungwon’s notebook.
“you.. you want to solve heeseung and jay’s case..?” jungwon stuttered as he read the notes. “how is this even related to what i said? is it because you were a freshman when it happened?”
“do you really believe yn was capable of killing them? i mean honestly, won. we grew up with her. she was heeseung’s little sister.” riki insisted, ignoring jungwon’s previous questions.
“i couldn’t believe it either, because there was no way it could’ve been her. but there was a lot of evidence that said otherwise.” jungwon informed, moving the notebook back onto his desk.
“also, don’t get mad when i say this. but, do you think the reason why you’ve been so fixated on yn being innocent is because you never got over your crush on her from middle school?”
“hey! shut the fuck up dude.” riki hissed, slapping the older boy on the back of his head. “and she was someone we were close to, a 17 year old at the time. it just isn’t likely.”
“age doesn’t mean anything. 35% of murders in america were committed by people ranging between 17 and 21. and, 28% of murders are committed by a relative or acquaintance. chances are low but not zero.” a girl butt in from behind the them. riki whipped his head back to see who it was, only to wish he never turned around.
minji kim. a pain in the original friend groups ass since elementary school.
the two stared at her with two completely different expressions. riki looked minji up and down with a frown, while jungwon just blinked slowly with wide eyes.
“what? do you seriously not remember me?” she scoffed.
“no trust me, we do, minji.” riki huffed before turning back around.
“we’re just wondering how you know that, is all.” jungwon hummed.
“my brother is a police officer now. i’m sure if you didn’t know who he was, one of your other friends might.” she snickered.
minjae kim. he is minji’s brother and one of the officers who handled the heeseung-jay case, aka one of the officers responsible for the arrests of yn and a few others. riki would know, because he attended the court hearing.
“minji, what topic have you selected?” the teacher asked as she briefly looked up from the computer screen.
“i will be making a slideshow on the history of ballet.” she answered with a proud smile. oh how riki just wanted to wipe that look off her face.
“and.. finally. riki and jungwon?”
"me and jungwon will investigate the lee siblings case, from 3 years ago." and the teachers face fell.
"riki, i don't know if this is a good topic write on. you still have time to change your mind-"
"no. this is what i want to do. i want to solve the murder of heeseung lee, and the disappearance of jay park." riki cut off the teacher with determination.
and the class went silent.
"there's nothing to solve! yn lee killed her own brother, and her own boyfriend. case closed." minji said. but remember, her brother was one of the officers who testified against yn. of course, her opinion on the topic was just as biased as riki’s or jungwon’s could be.
"shut up minji, your brother got demoted for a reason. and, you didn't know yn." jungwon waved off.
"you may have known heeseung but that doesn't mean you know her. and i know enough about yn lee to see that shes a cold hearted killer." "enough!" the teacher interrupted.
"fine. riki and jungwon, you may pursue this case. but we have to set some boundaries. first off, you may use any public sources or personal connections. secondly, when contacting any sources like publishers or officers, do not push the limit. if they say certain answers to questions are confidential, then respect that. third and foremost, absolutely do NOT contact the lees or the parks. leave any involved families out of this, especially now that miss yn lee is out of juvie."
she teacher sighed in slight relief as she saw jungwon and riki nodding in agreement.
but what she didn’t see, was how their fingers were crossed behind their backs.

Long Way Down Part One
Part Three
Here's the story of married Harry who's a dad to three small kiddos, and married for over seven years to Y/N. Marriage is always hard work, but what happens when being married to a pop star becomes too much for Y/N?
WARNING-slight references to sex, curse words
This is angst angst and more angst. There are other parts to the story, and with enough feedback, I'll post more to this story.
Word Count 4.7K
“Japan. Chile. Australia. Oh, and let's not forget Madagascar. Mada-Fucking-gascar, Harry. Who goes to Madagascar? Why the one and only Harry Styles? That's who. You realize most people never see any of those places in an entire lifetime, right? But you, you went to all of those places THIS YEAR!” Y/N stomps to their daughter's room picks her up from her crib, hoists the baby on her hip, and walks out of the nursery and down the hall.
Harry follows her to the kid’s bathroom. "Y/N, baby, it was all for work. I don't care about those places, don't even get to enjoy them."
"It doesn't matter. You still got to go. And that's in addition to your normal New York, LA, often Paris or Rome. Those places are just another day at the office for you. Do you want to know where I've been? Whole Foods. Baby Gym. Holmes Chapel. The park. School runs. Yep, that’s about it. Oh, the doctors, and kids' birthday parties; on wild days, a friend comes for a glass of wine when I can finally relax at 9 PM. So don’t do this with me, not this time.” She begins to undress the baby. She’s seething but keeps her voice down so the little one isn’t upset.
“Do you know how many days you’ve been home since the tour ended? I’ll tell you because I know exactly. 26. You could’ve paid someone to do your dirty laundry and brought home clean clothes. Even the slightest gesture to show you get how hard it is around here.”
“I’m sorry. I was so focused on just getting home I didn’t even think of having them done.” Harry turns on the bath water and tests the temperature.
“Oh, poor thing. Traveling the world in the lap of luxury must be torture.”
Harry walks to the door. "No, Y/N, no. You know what a tour is like. You've been on the road with me. You know how utterly chaotic it is. Yes, I should've thought about the laundry, but I didn’t.”
She places the baby in her bathtub seat, squats, and begins soaping her up. “Of course, you didn’t think of me.”
Harry is leaning on the doorframe of the bathroom now. “Babe, swear if you give me just a bit to decompress, I'll be happy to give you whatever ya need. We’ll take a family vacation, go someplace nice, the five of us, any place you like, you pick.” He extends his hands in her direction.
“You've been home 26 days. That's how long you've had to decompress.” She uses air quotes around decompress. You've done zero loads of laundry. I do at least four a day, trying to catch up with everything. Laundry never ends even when it’s just me and the kids. You leave a trail of mess in every room. You do nothing to help, nothing. It’s like you’ve completely checked out on the fact this is supposed to be a partnership.”
“My job isn’t just dancing around in sparkly trousers for an hour or two. I’m fucking exhausted too. You’re not playin’ fair, Y/N.”
"Thing is, I'm not playing at all, Harry.”
“A vacation with the five of us is a vacation to you, Harry, not to me. I love you guys, I really do, but I need a break. I needed this just for me. I wasn't asking for much, Harry. Five days for myself, time to decompress, as you call it. I wanted to be with my friends and sisters, but you know what, never mind. Go. Just go. We’ll talk about it when I’ve put her to bed.”
“I’ll put her to bed.” He closes the door behind him when he steps out.
Harry hears her singing Adore You. The song always makes the baby smile. Y/N can’t be completely furious if she’s still singing his songs. Harry couldn’t be more wrong.
When Y/N finishes with the bath, she wraps her daughter in her little duck towel with a hood and exits the bathroom. Their son’s door is cracked down the hall, and she hears Harry talking with him. She stands just outside the entrance to eavesdrop.
“That sounds like a good time, buddy. I’m glad you had fun with your friend. Did you make sure to hug him and say thank you before you left his house? Did you thank his family for having you over?”
“Yes.” He sounds so tiny for someone who wrecked Y/N’s nerves with his big voice the entire time Harry was gone.
“So, let’s get snug as a bug in a rug.” Harry wraps the blanket over their son and kisses his forehead. "Have a good sleep, and we'll have some fun in the morning, yeah?”
“Love you, Dad.”
Harry walks across the room and turns off the light. “Love you even more, bud. See you in the morning.” He closes the door when he leaves the room.
“Thank you.”
“He’s m’ son too, Y/N.” Harry walks toward the couple’s room, head hanging down; he drags his finger along the wall.
He doesn’t stick around to help put Lola down, be it because he forgot he said he would put her to bed or he's just upset.
Y/N walks to Lola’s nursery, dries and lotions her, dresses her for bed, and places her in the crib, hoping she will go down without a fight. "Love you, punkin’. Good night.” She kisses her and stands near the bed. She waits to see if she cries. When she only babbles, y/n turns on the baby monitor and nightlight, then crosses the room, turning off the light as she exits, but only closes the door partially.
Y/N heads toward the bedroom, dreading how the rest of the evening will go. Harry is sitting on the bed reading a book about Japanese art, his readers slide down his nose as he pretends to be intensely focused, but she knows him and knows he’s not focused.
She walks to the dresser, opens a drawer, and gets some pjs. She’s too pissed off to bother with a shower but goes to the ensuite to undress. “Don’t have to pretend you’re reading Harry.” She changes her clothes and tosses the dirty clothes in the hamper, does her skincare, and brushes her teeth. She picks up a pair of Harry’s gross, beat-up sneakers as she enters the bedroom. "These are nice," she says, tossing them across the room.
“Cut the crap, Y/N. I know what you're doing. You're not getting a fight out of me, so toss all the shoes you want. I'm not going to argue with you. The passive-aggressive stuff stopped working a long time ago."
She exhales and sits on the bed. "Not being passive, Harry, just aggressive. I'm tired. I'm so tired." She falls back on the bed.
He crawls over to her and plants a kiss on her lips. “Mmm, minty.” He smiles.
“Yep.” She closes her eyes.
He kisses her again. “Come over here; Let’s have a snuggle and a good night’s sleep.”
“I can’t tonight. I just can’t.” She sighs as she climbs to the pillows, placing her head down on the fluffiest one-her favorite one.
“Can’t what?”
“Have sex.”
“Wasn’t trying to.”
She rolls her eyes. "Okay. I don't know your pattern exactly; whenever you want to get frisky. Just met you, have no idea what you're like when you want to pretend an argument didn't happen, makeup, move past it, and get what you want.”
Harry’s eyes narrow. He swallows the lump in his throat and shakes his head in disbelief. “Wow. I can’t believe you just said that. That’s one of the worst things you’ve ever said to me. To imply I manipulate you for sex.” Harry stands, grabs his pillow, and walks to the door. “I’ll be in the guestroom.”
The following day she slowly opens her eyes and reaches over to Harry, but he’s not there. She thought that after he cooled off, he'd return to bed. She thought he’d slip under the covers once he knew it was safe and she was asleep. But he didn't come back to bed. She sits up and looks around the room. Gross sneakers are still across the room, three of Harry's hoodies over the recliner, one of Lola’s toys, and an empty water bottle next to Harry’s wallet -the room is a disaster. She sighs, rubs her face, and flops back down. The house is quiet, almost too quiet. Why is it so quiet? In a panic, she sits up, throws on her robe, and walks to the door. She flings it open and rushes down the hall. When she gets to Lola's room, she pushes open the door; the light is off, and Harry, bare-chested, sits in the recliner, rocking her. "Is she sick? What time is it? Where is everyone?"
"No, she's not sick, Y/N, she's m’ daughter, and she needed a cuddle with her daddy."
"Oh. Look about last night…."
"Not right now, Y/N. Let me enjoy this. Archer and Poppy are in the playroom watching a film. They’ve had their breakfast.”
She nods and leaves the room. She can’t hold back her tears as she walks to the kitchen. But her tears abruptly halt when she enters the filthy kitchen. Harry obviously made breakfast for everyone. Pancakes and bacon are covered with a cloth and a note with Mumma written in crayon to let her know it is hers. But the tenderness she feels doesn’t last long as she scans the kitchen. The dirty plates, cups, pots, and pans litter the kitchen and breakfast nook. The stove is splattered with grease and batter, and God knows what else. She starts to gather the dishes to clean them and load the dishwasher. Once everything is in the sink, she sits at the table in the breakfast nook, picking at the plate of food left for her. She isn’t hungry. Lately, she never is.
"Not as good as yours, but not half bad.” Harry breaks the silence as he stands next to the fridge arms folded over his muscular chest.
“Where is-“
“Living room in her pack-n-play.”
“Okay.” She picks up a slice of bacon and bites into it. She tosses it back on the plate.
She stands, walks to the sink, and begins cleaning off the excess food.
“I was going to do that as soon as I got done with the baby. I didn't have time to juggle it all."
“Really? Didn’t have time? Couldn’t juggle it all? That’s rich.” She shakes her head and chuckles as she places the cutlery into the designated basket in the dishwasher.
He shakes his head, looking at the ground. He cocks his mouth to the side and clicks his tongue. "Touche." He walks over and begins placing the dishes in the dishwasher.
She moves, allowing him the glamorous opportunity of a lifetime. “Wonder when the last time you did this was. Long before X-Factor, I’m sure.”
“Don’t.” Harry scrapes off a dish.
“But why not? You get to have all the fun. You get to do all the talking. You get to see all the things. Meet all the people. You get it all.” She leans against the counter, tapping her fingers.
“Y/N, I’m warning you-don’t.”
Her eyes widen, and she stands with a smirk on her face. This man bought all the audacity. “Warning me? Warning me? What are you going to do if I don't stop? Nothing.”
To get her attention, he throws a glass, aiming it at the sink, but not realizing the force behind it, it crashes into the stainless steel and shatters.
They both jump back, then freeze.
He reaches toward Y/N. “I’m sorry, Y/N. I didn’t mean to."
“Get out. I mean it, Harry. And I don’t mean the kitchen. You leave this house. You leave this house now, and don’t come back.” Her words are low and deliberate as she stares at the floor.
“That was out of order what just happened. I'm sorry; you know I'd never lay a hand on you or do anything in the world to scare you. Don't know what came over me."
“I said get out.”
“Excuse me? Don’t come back to my own frickin' house? You've got to be kidding. I'm doing no such thing, Y/N. Will I go downstairs and stay in the entertainment room or sleep in the guest room? Sure. Will I take the kids out for the day? Sure. But leave? No. We’ve never spent one day apart in anger, and we aren’t starting now, so get that idea out of your little head.” He points to his temple, gritting his teeth.
“Fine, then I will.” She pushes him out of the way when she passes him to leave the kitchen.
Harry follows her. “You’ll what, Y/N?” He grabs her arm, attempting to stop her.
“Get your damn hand off of me, you big bully.” She jerks away, storming toward the bedroom.
Harry goes to the living room to get Lola. He hears their bedroom door slam. Poor girl is probably scared. She’s never heard people shout before, especially her mama or daddy. And now her mama says she’s leaving? The words don’t even sound right when Harry says them to himself. Harry approaches the bedroom, tapping on the door. “Y/N, the baby, it’s time for her feeding.”
She marches toward him and takes the baby. “Of course it is; one more thing your pathetic ass can't do around here. Now, get out." She pushes against the door.
Harry walks out and closes the door.
***
Downstairs, Harry talks to Poppy and Archie, making sure that if they heard the yelling, they aren't scared. "Arch, you okay, bud?”
“Yeah.” He doesn’t look up just keeps playing with the Barbie and Ken dolls.
“Pop, you doing okay?"
“Yes, daddy. Are you?” She walks over and hugs his legs.
“Yes, baby, Daddy is fine. Are you guys in the mood for a trip to the zoo? Maybe some pizza and ice cream after?
“Yeah.” Poppy detaches herself from her daddy and jumps up and down.
“Can we go now?” Archer says, dropping the dolls and standing up.
"We can. Let's go get dressed, yeah?" Harry walks toward the stairs to the home's main floor.
The kids follow him up.
“Are mumma and the baby coming?” Poppy asks.
"Not sure, baby girl.”
Archer interjects. “If they’re gonna yell, I hope not."
Harry turns around. "There won't be any yelling, buddy, but that's not nice what you just said. We never say things like that, especially about your mummy or baby sister. We always want them included in whatever we do, always. Don’t ever say anything like that ever again.”
Archer is crying now. "Sorry, Daddy, I didn't mean it."
At the top landing of the stairs, Harry stops and kneels to Archer putting his arms around him. "Come here. Let's hug Daddy, yeah?"
Archer slowly puts his arms around Harry’s neck. “Didn’t mean it, Dad.”
"I know, buddy, we're all having a bad day, but what is the one, very most important rule in this house."
“Treat people with kindness.” Archer releases himself from the embrace.
"That's right, treat one another with kindness and love and goodness."
Archer sniffles. “I will.”
“All right, to our rooms, we go.” Harry leads the kids into the hall.
Harry feels like his heart just broke in two. The one thing they’d both agreed on before having kids is they would raise them in a peaceful home. They both came from divorced parents and knew what it was like when the family was immensely unhappy.
Harry ushers the kids to their rooms once back in the central portion of the house. "Okay, lollipop, do you need daddy's help getting dressed? Or do you want to try by yourself today?"
“I can do it, Daddy,” Poppy says. She pushes her blonde curls off her face.
"Good girl. Now, if you need me, call me, okay? And if you want something hanging up, remember no climbing; call for me, and I'll get it.” Harry pats her on the back.
“Okay.” Poppy skips to her room.
“Arch, do you need help?" Harry asks, following Archer as he walks to the room next to Poppy's.
“No, I got it.”
"Okay, guys, I'm going to help mummy with Lola. I'll be just down the hall."
Harry takes his time to get to the end of the hall. He taps on the door before entering. “Love?” He pokes his head in the door.
“Yeah.”
“Can I come in?”
“Yes.” She snuggles the baby closer as she nurses her.
“Gonna take the big kids to the zoo. Can I take Lola?”
"She's your baby too, Harry. Please don't ask me a question like that. Of course, you can take her.”
“All right, by the time I'm dressed, she should be finished, and I'll get her ready." Harry walks to the bathroom.
“Pretty sure I’m capable of getting my child dressed,” she mumbles.
Harry snaps around. "What the actual fuck is wrong with you, Y/N?" He's angry, but he keeps his voice down. "First, I do nothing, and then you pop off like that when I try to do something." Harry turns to walk back to the ensuite.
"Daddy's a grumpy pants, isn't he, baby girl? It's okay; you've got a mummy. She’ll take care of you, just like she always has.”
Harry stomps out of the bathroom, mouth full of toothpaste. “No, Y/N. No. You aren’t going to do that shit," he says, toothpaste foaming from his mouth as he flings the toothbrush and points it toward her.
She sighs. “Okay, Harry, whatever."
“Whatever? Whatever?” I’m done with this Y/N. Do what you will, hate me if you want, but don’t bad mouth me to our kids.” He walks again to the bathroom sink, and turns on the water, rinses his mouth out, dries it off.
“It’s not exactly like she understands what I’m saying.”
"Not exactly the point, Y/N.” He returns to the bedroom, then walks to the recliner, grabs a hoodie, and puts it on as he approaches the bed. "These babies are my entire life, Y/N. You know that, so think what you will of me as a husband, lover, and partner, but don’t you ever talk about me like that to our children.”
She’s burping the baby now, patting her on the back. “The kids are your entire life? I get it. Performing is your first love. No room for me.” She pulls her bottom lip in with her teeth and stares at nothing, looking at anything but Harry. Her eyes water, holding onto her tears.
Harry walks to her side of the bed. “You know that’s not what I meant, baby.” He sits on the bed next to her, his voice calmer now.
“No, I get it, Harry. Trust me, I do. I wouldn't blame you if you stopped loving and wanting me. Furthermore, why would you want any of this? I mean, look at this whole thing, and then there’s me. I’m a mess.”
“I’m looking at you. I see you. What are you talking about? And I love this mess, and I love you.” He places his hand on her knee. He pushes his eyebrows together and searches her face.
“It’s over, Harry.”
“No.” He shakes his head. “You’re tired and frustrated, but that’s life. It’s not over.”
"It wasn't a question." She hands Lola to him and stands. She tugs at the bottom of her t-shirt, the shirt she borrowed from him when they were dating and never gave it back. It's faded and stretched out, a picture of One Direction but with the words Spice Girls written on it.
Harry says nothing and watches her. She walks to the closet, grumbles, and grunts, knocking about with a few curse words sprinkled in. Once she finds what she's looking for, she returns to the bedroom, drops a suitcase on the bed, and then unzips it.
"Y/N, baby, what are you doing?"
"I told you I'm leaving. You didn't think taking the kids to the zoo would stop that did you?"
“This is crazy. I’m gonna put Lola in her crib. I’ll be back.” Harry stands, walks across the room, and exits.
A few moments later, he returns. She removes clothes from the dresser. Harry approaches her and places his hand on her elbow. "Baby, let's talk about this. You can leave me, in theory, until we can figure something out, but you can't just walk out on the kids."
She shrugs him off her. “Don’t touch me. There is nothing to figure out, not between us. As for the kids, of course, I'm not leaving them forever, don't be so dramatic, but I am leaving for now."
She goes to the bathroom. Harry can hear her gathering items from the vanity. He sits on the bed, dropping his head in his hands, then lifts his head resting his fingers tips under his chin. He stares at two crayons on the floor under the dresser. He makes that his sole focus, unable to look at her when Y/N returns and tosses the cosmetics bag into the suitcase. She huffs and sighs.
“I might not help as much as I should. I get it, but this, this is one time I’m not lifting a finger to help you. So you can cut the sound effects.”
There’s a soft knock at the door before the handle turns, and small hands push the door open. “Daddy, are we going to the zoo?”
Tears have started to roll down Harry’s cheeks. He wipes his face and sniffs before Poppy comes in. “Yes, baby girl, but give Daddy a minute. Go play nice in your room. I’ll come to get you when it’s time. And Poppy, please wait to be invited in before opening the door. You know the rules.”
“Okay.” Satisfied, she pulls the door closed.
"You see that, Y/N. Our kids need us. Our kids know when something's wrong. They heard our shouting earlier. We can't do this around them." He stands and walks over to her. "Listen, let me call Mitch and Sarah, and see if they can take them for the night, yeah? Or Jeff and Glenne might not mind, then we'll get dressed, go have a nice dinner, come home, and relax, just the two of us.”
“Why so you can get laid, Harry?”
"Y/N, where is all of this coming from? That's the second time you've remarked that I’m somehow this sex-crazed maniac that has to jump through hoops to trick his wife into having sex with him, yet you also say there is no way I could still want you.”
She shoves sneakers into the suitcase. “Oh, believe me, I know you can find someone to have sex with, no doubt about that." She shakes her head and smirks. "Never had any problem getting that, did you?"
“What is wrong with you? Do you think I’ve been with someone else? Is that what’s got you like this?”
She continues throwing things in the suitcase, then zips it up. She returns to the closet, retrieves another bag, unzips it, kicks it along the floor, and continues packing. “I told you. I can’t do it anymore. I’m tired. I’m forgetful because I’m overwhelmed. Important things aren’t given their proper attention. I mess up more often than I will admit. This isn’t good.”
“If this is about going out of town on that girls’ trip, then go.” He extends his foot and closes the top of the luggage. “Have fun. Go, but don’t ruin our family just because you weren’t getting your way.”
“Fuck you, Harry. Because I wasn’t getting my way? It’s not that. It’s that it’s always about you. Always. It’s when are you leaving, when are you coming back, coming in late from the studio, FaceTiming at 3 AM just so I can see you and hear your voice, important events, meetings, everything is about you, and I'm sick of it. You know you're the one that wanted a third baby, or hell, a second baby, for that matter. I was happy when it was just the three of us, all traveling together, but you wanted a larger family, and as usual, I wanted to give you what you wanted.”
He stands next to her, reaches over and takes her face in his hands, and turns her toward him. He sees her face, but she’s a stranger. He hadn’t noticed the new lines between her eyebrows, the dark circles under her eyes, or the sallow shade of her skin. “Tell me you don't regret Poppy and Lola. Please tell me you don't regret those two perfect little girls. Because I love you, Y/N, but if you tell me you regret them, I can't forgive you. Ever.”
She pulls away. "I do regret the timing. I should've insisted you take a multi-year hiatus before expanding our family because I made my life worse to make your life better."
He drops his hands from her and walks across the room to the window, which overlooks the expansive garden below. “Worse? How could anything about those babies make your life worse? Take it back before I say something that can’t be unsaid.” You knew what you were signing up for, Y/N. You knew the life I live and how hard it would be, but you said ‘I do’, you agreed this was the life we would live,” he says.
“You don’t see that even then, it was about you. It was what I agreed to, but what about me? What did you agree to do for me? What sacrifices were you willing to make? I gave up my career, so I could give you a home, take care of the kids, and always be available to support you in anything you needed me to support you in, travel with you." Sitting on the bed, she shoves her legs into her denim flares and stands. She walks over to the dresser and retrieves a black sports bra.
Harry turns to her. "Okay, what do you need? What do you need my support with? Besides the house, the kids? What is it that you’re missing?
She removes her t-shirt and puts on the bra. "Everything."
“You've got to give me specifics, love. Have to help me here, at least with this. I can't read minds, baby. Believe me, if I could, this wouldn't be happening." He walks to her.
She pulls on a lightweight black sweater. "I need you to know me, Harry.” She goes back to the luggage, bends down, and zips closed the second bag. “I needed you to pay attention, to see that I’m drowning here.”
"Okay. We'll have the maid come more days during the week, and we'll get a sitter, nanny, or whatever will make life easier for you. After the three nights in Manchester, I'll devote my time to you. But I have a contract I have to do these nights in Manchester, besides it’s kind of home. We can stay at Mum’s. All of us go together.”
“It’s not just about the housework or the kids. And I don’t want to follow you to Manchester. I need you. I need a husband, a partner, not a sugar daddy who keeps knocking me up.”
“Oh, get off it. Lola's over a year old, and never do I push you for sex, not ever.”
“Whatever.” She pulls the two suitcases upright, rolls them to the door, exits, walks down the hall, and passes the three bedrooms along the corridor. She can't stop, or she'll never go; if she stays, she'll make things worse. She knows she's on the brink of breaking completely.
Harry is behind her.
They make it to the front door, and she slides her feet into her loafers. As she opens the door, she turns to him. "Everything you need to know about your kids is in a folder on my desk in the office. There’s frozen milk in the fridge.”
He reaches out, but she shakes her head. “Don’t.” She snatches her purse from the hook by the front door.
"Y/N, please, baby."
"Goodbye, Harry." With that, she steps out, dragging the luggage behind her. She doesn't look back.

Changed Man
Tumblr media
Spencer Reid x Reader
Summary: After an appointment with your therapist, you want to speak with Spencer.
Tumblr media
"And how's life with your husband, Y/N?" you let out a long sigh before you looked at your therapist.
"I have noticed a lot of changes in him. I honestly thought that this talk about how jail changes people were fake, but I’m afraid it's true." you let out a long sigh.
"What about him did change? Did you notice anything specific?" you were more than comfortable talking about this with her.
"At first, I didn't even notice. It is hard to explain but I noticed it when we were having sex the other day. He was more dominant."
"Did he hurt you? Or do something you didn't like perhaps?"
"Nothing like that! It just struck me, he used to be almost nervous every time, but now he was so confident. I liked it, I just don't know what to do with it."
"Did you mention it to him?"
"No. I was afraid he would call me paranoid."
"Then why don't you just have a sit-down with him? Try to tell him about your side of things, he is a smart man, I'm sure he will understand." 
"Yeah, I’ll try that. Thank you." you offered her a smile and just as the session ended, you were on your way home.
---
"Hi Babe." you said into the house as you locked the front door.
"Hi." came the voice from inside, you soon entered the living room and found Spencer reading.
You headed over to him and placed a kiss to his cheek, he offered you a smile.
"How was your day?" he asked.
"Busy. Very busy."
"That's what you get for being a CEO I suppose. Did you eat already?"
"No, did you?"
"Nope, let's order then." you heard as he called and ordered some pizza while you took a quick shower.
You let out a long sigh as you finally put up your feet and eat something.
After eating, you felt pain as you groaned a little as you started to rub your neck.
"Do you want a massage?"
"No, no I'm good Spencer, thank you."
"It's okay really." he tried to get closer to you but you jump up from the couch. "What's wrong?" you basically heard his heart break as he asked and looked at you.
But to be honest, you weren't too sure either. 
"Everything? No, not everything... it's just, I have to figure this thing out and I'm... I don't know."
"What are you saying Y/N?" 
"I'm scared Spencer."
"Of me?" he asked, surprised and hurt.
"No! Not of you." you were quick to reply.
"Then what is it Y/N?" he started to raise his voice out of frustration. "Do you not want to be married to a criminal anymore? Is that why you visited me so often in jail? To justify your thoughts of wanting to leave me out of shame?"
"I'm scared that you changed and you won't want me anymore!" as you said that your hands started to shake. All the past months came crashing down on you. "I'm scared you will realize you don't love me anymore, I'm scared that you will find someone better. I'm terrified that you will leave me." as you said that, all of your tears began to fall. 
"Sweetheart," he hugged you and calmed you before he began to speak. "I will never leave you. I love you much." when he pulled back he could see you searching his eyes, trying to figure out on your own if he was lying or not.
"Promise?"
"I married you for a reason. I have loved you and I will continue to do so."
"Please don't quote some philosopher who said something about love. Just kiss me and never leave me."
And he did.
"I'm sorry, Sweetheart." he whispered as he put his forehead against yours.
"You have nothing to apologise for. You went through something terrible, I should be more understanding, but my insecurities got the best of me."
"It's okay. I'm just happy we are here together. I love you."
"I love you too." you put your hand on his neck and pulled him in for another kiss.
Letting your insecurities wash away.

Hi hi! I'm going to answer a couple of different video based asks all in one post because they all follow a similar theme~!
EDIT EDIT: I realized that no one could actually access the links because I took screenshots and added links to the video following each ask!
Tumblr media
[VIDEO]
Oh yes! It was one of the first videos I watched when I decided to be brave and finally join the fandom! I remember really liking it, though I don't remember the video contents itself well...!
:cues up for a rewatch:
Heh! Heehee! It's still quite a lot of fun! Years later, I can notice clearly now that this video relies very strongly on what I understand is a controversial/outdated interpretation of Void lore based on the EN translation which is...well, it's the Star Allies English Translation... (As for the details of WHAT it got wrong, o~hhh, I'm not going to get into the Void stuff ~ You'll have to go to other Kirblrs for that! I'm too busy with fixating on my personal blorbos! XD ) However! The end bit about who Kirby is and what Kirby represents? That part of the video remains golden and is something I am 100% in agreement with!
Edit: I realize now you said "videos" and if they're the ones I'm thinking of, then I think I did watch the whole series back then and enjoyed it very much! Sorry for not giving my modern day thoughts on them individually. I didn't want to make you wait too long on this!
Tumblr media
[VIDEO]
AH! I just saw this one a few months ago and YES! Yes yes yes! Ohhh, yessss! I agree! It's funny to watch this one back to back with Designing For's video about how the early games were kind of empty fluff compared to the lore-heavy Kumazaki era when Star Warper highlights one of my FAVORITE things that's been gone for so long!!
...I would be SO happy if they focused more on this kind of "natural" world building and character exploration. I suppose, if I have one criticism of Kumazaki, it's that he maybe TOO MUCH of a writer? It's okay to focus where he specializes in, and he's really good at it, but I hope that Star Allies "micro cutscenes" mean we might get them back in a new title, rather than a "last nod" to Kirby history...
This reminds me, I never did anything with this (got swept under by RL) but I came away from this video thinking that I would LOVE to make a series of cutscene animations for the games that don't have them! Just imagine what silly things Kirby or the rest of the characters are getting up to before handing the action back to you!
(Gosh... I don't think I have the experience necessary for this but... with all these collabs, I wonder if anyone would be interested in forming up a collab to make cutscenes for the games that don't have them? I don't know if there's that many animators in the fandom, maybe splash images would be enough? ...Interesting thought?)
But one last enthusiastic yes! As an outspoken fan of, "Show us the daily life of the people in Dream Land PLEASE" this video speaks to me. And I'm glad others feel this way!
Tumblr media
[VIDEO]
I KNEW THIS WOULD BE THE CAKE SCENE! I LOVE THE CAKE SCENE! Honestly, I don't know anyone who doesn't just burst into kittens when faced with the cake scene...! It's so cute...! vvv
Speaking of the 25th Anniversary Concert, I have to share my other favorite moment and unfortunately I can't find the full video to refresh my memory (...pulled down for copyright, maybe?) but there was one silly moment when they asked Kirby how old he was, like HIM not the series, and he's like "...I'm 25! ^o^" and of course, it's silly and ridiculous and everyone laughed and for those fans who see Kirby as a very young child, it is just the picture of a child being silly and saying whatever but...as someone who always saw Kirby as growing up with me, I beamed a little with pride? XD
And I think that's the way it should be, maybe? The things Kirby says can be as interpretable as Kirby themselves! ...Reminds me of another quote from Kumazaki that he didn't want Kirby speaking (in Japanese) in the globally streamed 30th Anniversary concert as they did in the 25th because he wanted everyone across the globe to "understand Kirby equally." That if he talked in just one language, a limited number of people would understand him, and everyone should be able to see themselves in Kirby!
It was a very sweet gesture - even though I myself missed hearing Kirby talk in Japanese! Ahh well, at least I'm surrendering my bilingual priviledge card for a good reason! XD
Tumblr media
[VIDEO]
OH! Ni~ce find, Anon!
I've seen the fan animation of the phone skit and one more but I was wondering where I might find the rest...! Thank you, video anon!
These are soo~ooo cute! And you're so right! Kawata-san's Kirby really is perfect! I say that feeling the same way about Oomoto-san's Kirby too though...! They're all perfect! This kind of voice (and short skit style) would be perfect for a series of official shorts imo! The kind of ones that occasionally get released on Twitter and the like. (Not that I don't already love the animations made by Courtesy!)
And ahhhh, it's so nice to hear Kirby speak full sentences too~ I really, really enjoy this interpretation of Kirby! I can't believe it's from as far back as 1994! Amazing! Truly amazing!
-
Thank you, anon(s) for the fun video links! And I hope everyone has fun watching them too if you're not familiar with everything listed here! If you ask me, everything here is worth a listen!

I'm Mad At You For Leaving Me
Tumblr media
Regina George x Reader
Word Count: 1k
Trigger Warnings: arguing details, car accident, reader passing away
Request:
Valentine's / Followers Celebration; Regina George w/ quote 25 and piece of chocolate number 5. Or: “I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental—like on a breeze—but I think maybe it’s both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there’s anything you need, I won’t be far away.” w/ arguing
Valentine's / Followers Celebration requests are closed.
Regina was one of the last people to leave the funeral, her arms crossed as she cursed the tears that were cascading down her cheeks. She hated (Y/n). She hated her cute smile that made her eyes crinkle in the corners. She hated the way her laugh always seemed to make the room light up. She hated the way that she was in love with her. She hated the way that their last conversation was an argument over college. She hated the way that (Y/n) had died before they could resolve it. And, she hated that it was all her fault.
"I mean, damn, Regina." (Y/n) walked out of the George's mansion with hot tears burning in her eyes. Regina wasn't far behind, her face red in anger as she followed the girl out. "You should be happy for me. I got into fucking Harvard! That's a big deal! Instead, you're upset because we're going to different colleges. I get why you're angry, I just thought that instead of yelling and blowing my dreams off, we could discuss our futures. But, now, I don't even think we fucking have one."
Regina rolled her eyes as (Y/n) swung open her car door. Before (Y/n) could she held it open. "I thought our future was going to be something we both decided. You didn't even tell me you fucking applied. You're angry at me for not being happy but how could I when you did this behind my fucking back, (Y/n)? That fucking hurts, and if you don't see what you did wrong, then that's on you. Not on me." Regina moved, slamming the door for (Y/n). She didn't want to hear it anymore. She didn't care anymore over (Y/n)'s dreams whenever she ruined their plans.
A part of her felt bad at the moment over how she made that excited grin of (Y/n)'s disappear in seconds. Now, a bigger part of her felt horrible for making (Y/n) cry. Especially now that she was crying in her last moments. She remembered calling over and over again that night, trying to reach (Y/n) and apologize. Eventually, Regina's mom came upstairs to tell Regina that she had talked to (Y/n)'s. That was the night that Regina learned that (Y/n) had gotten into a car accident and she didn't make it. She learned that a drunk driver had hit her. Regina felt at fault regardless since (Y/n) never would have been out at that time if it wasn't for their argument.
Now, she was standing at (Y/n)'s grave, angry at her instead of herself. "You ruined our future the other night. Then you fucking drove off. I'm mad at you for leaving me." Regina stated bitterly before a sob escaped her lips. "I'm sorry… I just want you to come back. This is all my fault, but I still want to blame you. I feel like a shitty person. I am a shitty person." Regina cried, feeling her body shake.
Death was inevitable, but she never expected that someday soon she would have lost the love of her life to death's hands. She had always imagined them growing old together. They were supposed to grow old together. She should have been happy that (Y/n) got into Harvard. She knew that getting into Harvard was (Y/n)'s childhood dream, but she thought her dreams changed. Regina now realized that they only changed to align with hers and that that was never fair to (Y/n). Everything that had happened from the argument to the car crash to now was Regina's fault. Or, that's how she felt, anyway.
Her friends had told her it wasn't. They told her that (Y/n) wouldn't want her to blame herself. She knew they were right, but how the fuck would they know? They reminded Regina that she couldn't have known any of this would happen. Cady said that none of this was intentional or caused by Regina. Still, too much guilt bubbled in Regina's stomach for her to agree. She was starting to feel nauseous as placed the flowers on the fresh patch of dirt she had been standing on. Her hands continued to shake as she felt like she needed to take all of the blame.
"I guess I need to say goodbye now, but I don't even know how. You were absolutely everything to me. I always felt that we were destined to be together, but I never told you that because you already thought I was soft. I couldn't just confirm your suspicions. I only had this soft spot for you." Regina smiled a bit at the thought, noting the little quote at the bottom of (Y/n)'s headstone. “I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental—like on a breeze—but I think maybe it’s both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, (Y/n). If there’s anything you need, I won’t be far away."
Regina was going to say it, she was going to say 'goodbye' but she couldn't. Her lips trembled as her mouth went dry. A lump formed in her throat as she stared at the quote a little longer. "I can't tell you goodbye. I will say that I'll always miss you and that I will always come back here. I love you, and I promise you that I will visit on all of our anniversaries and every time I visit." Regina promised, leaning down to place a kiss on the headstone. She felt stupid doing it, but that's all she could think to do at that moment.
As she left, the quote rang in her mind. 'May I see you again in a new life.' It was something that (Y/n) said a lot. Her grandfather firmly believed in reincarnation and soulmates, and so did (Y/n). So, she constantly believed that she would meet everyone in new lives and relive all of those beautiful friendships again. Regina now forced herself to believe that because she didn't believe that she could live a life without (Y/n) somewhere in it.

I'm back with some more...
INCORRECT
                 QUOTE
                         GENERATOR
   
             *Boaterm addition*
Scar: In case you haven’t noticed, I’m weird. I’m a weirdo. I don’t “fit in” and I don’t WANT to fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That’s weird.
Mumbo: Are we really going to let Grian keep Scar?
Pearl: We kept Impulse.
Scar: Don't worry, I've got a few knives up my sleeve.
Mumbo: I think you mean cards.
Grian: They did not.
Scar, pulling out knives: I did not.
Grian: I don’t think the therapist is supposed to say ‘wow’ that many times during their first session with a client, but here we are.
Scar: I won a new phone in a race.
Impulse: Huh? What kind of race lets you win a phone, Scar?
Scar: A race between the store owner, the cop, and me.
Mumbo: *Stands in trash can.*
Impulse: Mumbo, not again! You're not trash, you're at least recycling!
*The Squad is on a hike*
Impulse: It’s beautiful out here.
Mumbo: And quiet.
Impulse: Too quiet.
Mumbo: Did we lose someone?
*cut to Grian with a bear in a headlock*
Mumbo: I’ve become a bread crumb dealer to four crows at the lake. They pay me with a bit of everything. Like shiny things, fabric, or pens. But recently they paid me with a 20 dollar bill they found somewhere. So I decided to buy them some more expensive bread. They loved it. So they understand what to do. Give me money. I’ve probably racked up about 200 dollars at this point. Is it morally wrong though, I mean. They’re the ones who steal the money from others. Or perhaps they just have a big pile laying somewhere. Should I keep on doing this?
Impulse: You sound like the start of a Batman villain.
Scar: I think we should have glow stick juice injected in our bones when we're born, so if we break our bones, we get a fun little surprise.
Impulse: What's the surprise?
Pearl: Blood poisoning.
Scar: *sneaking in through their window*
Grian: *turning in their chair and flicking the light one* You want to tell me where you've been all night?
Scar: I was with Mumbo?
Mumbo: *turning in their chair* Wanna try again?
Scar: Met a dumbass today. Awful.
Grian: You looked in a mirror?
Scar: Someday you will have to answer for your actions and god may not be so merciful.
Mumbo: I know you love them.
Grian: I am not in love with Scar!
Mumbo, staring at Grian: I never said who...
Grian: *realizes*
Grian: Shit. Well, anyways-
Scar: Pick a card, any card.
Grian: Fine.
Scar: Wait, that's my credit card!
Grian: You said any card.
Scar: I may be stupid.
The Squad: ...
Scar: Oh, did you think I was going to finish that sentence?
Grian: I am the most responsible person in the group.
Pearl: …You just set the kitchen on fire.
Grian: Yes, and I take full responsibility for that.
Grian: Go ahead, Scar. Let it out, cry. If you don't, your tear ducts will get blocked up, and then when you get old, you won't be able to cry.
Pearl: Just when we thought it was safe to let you back into the conversation.
Scar: Grian, I sense hostility.
Grian: Good, because I hate you.
Pearl (brainstorming ideas for pranking Grian): How much could a serial killer mask possibly cost?
Impulse: Well it’s hard to find a high-quality one made out of leather or silicone, but if you did find a good one like that it’d be a couple thousands of dollars. I can try to hook you up with one but I don’t know if I’d be very successful.
Pearl: Huh, that’s pretty interesting actually- Wait, how the hell do you know that?
Impulse: …I am very passionate about Halloween, Pearl.
Scar: *working in a flower shop and minding their own business*
Grian, storming into the store and slapping $20 on the counter: HOW DO I PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVELY SAY “FUCK YOU” IN FLOWER???
Mumbo: Why would you give a knife to Impulse?!
Scar, shrugging: Impulse felt unsafe.
Mumbo: Now I feel unsafe!
Scar: I’m sorry…
Scar: Would you like a knife?
Grian: Thought I was meowing back at my cat for the past hour, but it was just me and Scar meowing at each other from different rooms in the house.
Scar: Hello, I'm Scar. I work at a shop now. Here to help. Look, they gave me a badge with my name on it in case I forget it. Very helpful, as that does happen.
Scar: *running towards Pearl with open arms*
Pearl: *moves out of the way*
Scar: Hey, why'd you move?!
Pearl: I thought you were going to attack me.
Scar: I was going to hug you!
Pearl: Why would you hug me?
Scar: WHY WOULD I ATTACK YOU!?
Mumbo, trying to flirt: So, you come around here often?
Grian, confused: I mean, this is my house, so yeah.
Grian: Everything will be ok. You can not stop it.
Grian: Everything will be fine. You have no choice.
Scar: What the fuck kind of pep talk is that?
Grian: Ominous positivity.
Scar: *in a jail cell* What about my Miranda rights!? You’re supposed to say I have ‘the right to remain silent’”! NOBODY SAID I HAD THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!
Pearl: *in the cell next to them* You have the right to remain silent, what you lack is the capacity.
Pearl: I’m going to dunk on you.
Mumbo: Bring a ladder.
Pearl: I have the sharpest memory here - name one time I forgot something!
Mumbo: You left me, Grian, and Scar in a Walmart parking lot at 2am a day ago.
Pearl: I did that on purpose, try again.
Scar: Do you ever feel bugs on you when really there’s nothing there?
Pearl: Those are the ghosts of the bugs you killed before.
Scar:
Scar: *sobs*
Mumbo: You fucking scared them, you idiot.
Scar: Is letting someone win at chess sapiosexual bottoming?
Pearl: Can everyone in this godforsaken group please learn the skill called "Think Before You Speak"?
Grian: Ya know... it might be.
Scar: Impulse has no idea I’m high.
Impulse: You’re high?
Scar: Oh, I’m sorry.
Scar, leaning over to Mumbo: Impulse has no idea I’m high.
Grian: Let's just agree to both say we're sorry on the count of three.
Grian: One... two... three.
Pearl: ...
Grian: ...
Grian: See, now I'm just disappointed in both of us.

1 + 1 = 2 [13]
Tumblr media
Chaennie x Fem!reader
Word Count: 3072
Warning: Making Out?
1 (angel) + 1 (demon) = 2
…………………………………………………………………….
“What? What about my eyes?” Confused, the angel asks. Is Jennie implying something is wrong with her eyes too? 
The eyes staring back at her, eyes that were now a radiant blue, were Jennie’s own feline-like ones. “Jennie, your eyes are glowing blue.”
“Are they?” Jennie fumbles around the kitchen for a reflective surface, and when she finds one, she uses it like a mirror. “Holy shit.” She says, because Chaeyoung was right.
“They look exactly like yours are looking right now, Rosie.” She says nonchalantly, and Chaeyoung practically snatches the metal bowl out of her hands, looking at her own reflection. 
The situation is getting stranger and stranger.
“I'm sure it’ll go away,” the angel dismisses, “but let’s talk?”
“Oh. Well, okay.” Jennie sits herself down at the island chairs, Chaeyoung taking the seat across from her. Jennie doesn’t know if they should be ignoring the fact that their eyes are blue, but she’ll ignore the warm hum buzzing through her body, and the thoughts of you.
Chaeyoung looks at her expectantly, and Jennie bites her lip looking around the room before meeting blue eyes. “Sharing is caring.” The reaper blurts. “Right?”
“It is, in some cases. Where are you going with this, Jen?”
“You said, and I quote, ‘What’s mine is yours’ to me before, does that saying of yours still apply?”
Chaeyoung remembers the time she said that, and it will always apply. She nods. “Yes, always.” She can’t help but become nervous about where this is going.
Jennie wonders if she should just say it. Just tell her best friend she likes you— likes her human. How would Chaeyoung react though? She’s possessive over you, always claiming you verbally (*cough* maybe physically). But Jennie wants to say that too. She wants you too.
Jennie squeezes her eyes shut. Then, there it is again— that want— all aimed towards you. She can feel her heart beating in her ears. It’s a strong urge to kiss you again.  She wants your lips on hers, on her skin. She wants you to make her feel— “Jennie?” Chaeyoung is looking at her with concern. What was wrong with her today?
“I like (Y/n).” Jennie winces as the words leave her lips, and she looks to her hands in fear of seeing Chaeyoung’s reaction. For a while, there’s nothing. Just silence. No response from Chaeyoung except a slight crease between her eyebrows. 
“Okay,” Chaeyoung finally speaks, and it comes out soft, like an exhale. “I suppose that makes sense.” She crosses her arms, studying Jennie. “What do you want to do then?” 
Always the straightforward one. She’s not mad though, so Jennie allows herself to relax a bit. “I don’t know…would you share her? Can I be affectionate to her too?”
You wake up at the feeling of a light fluttering across your neck and a heavy weight on your chest. You open your eyes to dark brown hair buried in the crook of your neck. “Jen?” You murmur sleepily. “What are you doing? Is the food done?” Jennie shifts just enough to look up at you with blue eyes through her white tipped lashes, and you realize she’s laying on top of you. “Yes it is. Did I wake you? I’m sorry.”
“It's okay, it was time I got up anyway,” you say, smiling in reassurance. “Jen, your eyes are blue.” You pointed out as you pulled yourself up, whereas Jennie straddles your lap now.
“It’ll go away,” she informed.
“Oh okay. Let’s go eat?” You say, smiling at the feline-eyed reaper.
“Can we wait a little bit? I've been waiting for you to wake up so I could kiss you again.” The corners of her lips quirk into an impish smile and you gawk.
“K-Kiss me again?”
“Yes,” she confirms. She plays with the fabric of your shirt, twisting and pinching it between her fingers as she pulls her bottom lip between her teeth, staring at your lips. “…I talked to Chaeyoung, she doesn’t mind all that much. I just have to follow the rules.” (Like you do with Chaeyoung for your contract with the angel, Jennie must follow Chaeyoung’s rules.) “In the end it depends on what you want though; If you want me,” she says, hands sliding up the back of your neck and curling around it.
Your heart is racing, pounding in your ears at the look she’s giving you. You're rendered speechless, you can only nod in approval, giving Jennie permission to kiss you.
Jennie presses her lips against yours, her thumbs grazing your jaw. You melt into the kiss and you pull her close. Her fingers curl in the soft hair at the nape of your neck while yours slide up her thighs. When you part for air you can’t help the smile that grows on your face and you bite your lip to stop it from turning into that cheesy grin of yours. Jennie has a smile of her own as well. “Kiss me again?” She whispers. And you do. 
This time the kiss was hot; feverish; desperate in manner because Jennie could not get enough. She was sucking, biting, teasing with her tongue flickering at the seam of your mouth. You allowed Jennie to push her tongue in your mouth, completely surrendering to the sensations you felt. You threaded your fingers between her soft hair and gently closed your hands into a fist, tugging slightly, and the sensation prompted Jennie to whimper into your lips. It was a sound you were desperate to hear again, and when you finally did you groaned.
You both part for air, smiling at each other like idiots. Jennie nuzzles her face in the crook of your neck for a few moments, placing light kisses there. She pulls away when she realizes you must be hungry since she made you wait, only to see the marks on your neck because unbeknownst to you, the concealer has faded away.
“Do they hurt?” She asked with furrowed brows.
“What?” You said breathlessly. Jennie doesn’t answer, instead you feel a warm fingertip tracing your lower throat area and clavicles: where your angel had fun marking you. 
Ah.
You’re aware of the vague stinging sensation in those areas. “It’s bearable.” She hums in response. And leaning forward, Jennie places kisses down the column of your throat and the base of your neck, naughty hands trail along your waist tracing miscannelous shapes. 
“You’ll be mine too, won’t you?” She purrs against your skin, her voice a low hum. 
“Of course.”
Unsurprisingly you fell asleep after eating, much to Chaeyoung and Jennie’s amusement. You were carried up to your room by Chaeyoung, who went back downstairs to Jennie.
The reaper was grinning like a fool, and as Chaeyoung would say, she was too happy. The angel wasn’t exactly thrilled at having to share you, but if that is what you want then so be it. 
Jennie left that night, and Chaeyoung put the leftovers in the fridge before sneaking in your bed, positioning you to lay on her chest.
When you wake up you can already hear all the angels' voices from downstairs. You cover your head with the pillow. 
You may have fallen asleep yesterday, earlier today, and again now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t sleep more… But you have to wake up and go to the banquet. Which you’re regretting. 
You don’t respond to arms picking you up as you were carried or moved somewhere—  too tired to respond.
“Pour water on her.” A voice suggests, and you jolt up with wide eyes. You move away as much as you can in the arms of whoever has you, away from where the voice came.
Then you hear a laugh, being Jisoo’s, whose eyes are wet with how hard she’s laughing. You narrow your eyes at her and scowl. You don’t find that funny at all.
“She doesn’t even have water, it’s fine.” Chaeyoung says from behind you, and you realize you're in her arms. 
You look at her; her hair is messed up and slightly fuzzy with a behead, she looks just as dazed as you. 
“Forget about that, both of you get dressed. We only have an hour to get ready,” Seulgi said.
“Right…” Chaeyoung mumbled before letting go of you. She pulls your hand in front of you, holding them out flat. “Here.” Then she snaps her fingers, and an outfit falls into your hands. Not even a minute later you’re being rushed into the bathroom. 
“Eager, aren’t we?” Chaeyoung hears Lisa’s teasing voice as she shuts the floor for you. She rolls her eyes and walks past her to the other room on the side of the hall. 
Now left to your own devices, you realize you didn’t get to greet the other angels. But, ignoring that, you unfold the clothes and hold them out in front of you.
They’re beautiful— and they’re the best designs of clothing you’ve ever seen. The clothes feel incredibly soft and expensive. You can’t imagine how much this would cost if it was sold in the human world. 
About ten minutes later you walk out the room. Immediately, there’s an exaggerated gasp, you expected it was from Chaeyoung or Lisa but you’re met with Naeyeon. The bunny-toothed angel is covering her mouth, eyes wide with awe. 
“Chaeyoung look! Look!” The angel runs to the other door down the hall, banging on it hard.
You’re thinking about stopping her because it sounds like the door will break with any more force until Chaeyoung opens it. Your angel shoves her aside playfully, trying to move her so she can get a better look at you. Once she does she’s shocked.
“Wow…” Chaeyoung muttered, utterly speechless at how you looked. You wore a white dress, the fabric was ruched and it had a high leg slit. You also had white heels with straps that ran halfway up your lower leg. After you put it on, you had definitely stared at yourself in the mirror— you looked like an angel. The dress looked like a goddess would wear it. It looked amazing on you.
She’ll have to thank Jennie later for helping her pick this one. The thought of pulling you back into the room and having her way with you filled her mind. But she didn’t entertain the thought.
After a while, Chaeyoung noticed you were pacing out. “What is it?” She asks as she walks over and places a hand on your hair, combing through it lightly to not mess it up. She doesn’t like when you space out.
After a couple more calls, you answered. “Nothing, I was just thinking.” You said, the back of your neck hot. Chaeyoung raised an eyebrow. 
She cocked an eyebrow, “Thinking about what?” Possessiveness was evident in her tone, and you take a few seconds before answering just to tease her.
“You,” you answered, forcing it to come out naturally. “You look great.” And that wasn’t a made up comment this time, it was sincere, because in all seriousness Chaeyoung looked great, beautiful, ethereal.
The angel had a stunning white off the shoulder gown, which had a trail behind it. Around her neck she wore a white diamond necklace, accented with gold and the Park Family crest. (Her dress: Tiffany and Co Botanical exhibition in Tokyo.) It was an outfit you thought was better than everyone else’s— or maybe that’s favoritism. Everyone looked great.
“Good.” Is what she responded with, her eyes practically glued to your outfit. She took one last up and down look to admire everything before grabbing your hand and leading you downstairs where everyone waited.
When you and Chaeyoung went downstairs, Lisa, Jisoo, Seulgi, and everyone else was down there, including a new face.
Right when Yeji caught a glimpse of you, the brown-haired angel ran over to you, smiling brightly. You could see the Light Fury features Chaeyoujf was talking about come to surface as the girl smiled at you, her cat-like eyes disappearing into crescents.  
“Hello! My name is Hwang Yeji. You can call me Yeji, it’s nice to meet you.” The angel was practically bouncing with excitement when she introduced herself, Nayeon putting a hand on her shoulder to calm her. 
“Hello, I’m (Y/n) (Y/ln) but you already know that. It’s nice to meet you too.” You said. And now that you were introduced, Jennie came up to you, crushing you in a hug.
“I know we saw each other yesterday but it was too long.” She sighed dramatically and you hugged her back the best you could with the crushing hug. A few seconds later Jennie was peeled off by Chaeyoung, who was worried if you could breathe.
Before Jennie could whine about it you were interrupted by a loud clap, being Seulgi’s. “Listen up everyone,” she spoke in a commanding, smooth voice, “the banquet starts at 8:30pm, and as you know it is 8:12 right now.”
We are all on the job, tasked with watching (Y/n). Does everyone understand?” Seulgi looked at Jisoo and the raven glowered. She knows that look. That look means ‘you play around too much.’
“Yes, we know. I will watch her if she’s in my care, don’t worry.” Jisoo muttered with a roll of her eyes. Everyone else nodded in agreement. They wouldn’t let you out of their sight. 
“Alright. Would you all like to go in early? We have eighteen minutes till it starts.” Seulgi suggested and everyone shook their heads in disagreement rather quickly. 
Going to the banquet early was known as a death wish. Most of the angels go early and it’s annoying to say hello and give greetings to all of them. It’s exactly like being at a family dinner or gathering, having to say hello to everyone that arrives in fear of being called disrespectful. But if they came at just the right time or a bit later they could avoid greetings altogether. 
“Okay?… Let’s just sit tight for now then.” She should’ve expected that answer. After Seulgi was done, everyone went back to doing their own thing.
Lisa was playing the game along with Jennie and Yeji, and Nayeon had been pulled in Jisoo’s embrace and they watched the other two play. Seulgi was reading a book to pass time. Chaeyoung was around you, as always, watching you pull your phone out. 
“Is that Milo?” Chaeyoung asked as she saw you pull up his messages. “Yeah,” you answered. “I wanna check how he’s doing.” You were still worried about him. 
{
SmartAss: How are you doing?
Sent.
Miloooo: I'm doing alright, my head just hurts. Everything is aching, and I'm exhausted from yesterday for some reason, but I think it's from soccer practice. Other than that I'm okay! What about you? You've been skipping school a lot in the afternoon.
Miloooo: What happened to being a perfect student? Hahaha
SmartAss: I still am.
Miloooo: Barely! (ㅎ.ㅎ)
SmartAss: I've just been busy these days, and I have been completing my missing work, therefore I am a perfect student. I hope you feel better though :)
Miloooo: Aw. Thank you, love ;)
}
You were about to type another response until Charyoung spoke up, her tone filled with bitterness. “Love?” You heard her mutter, and if you looked behind you were sure you’d see her scowling. “Are you his love?” She asked with a frown, taking your phone from you.
“No it’s just a nickname Milo calls me when I’m being nice. He has a girlfriend.” You said and leaned back in your chair as far as you could, hitting Chaeyoung behind on purpose. You shot your hand up in a swift motion upon seeing the angel typing a response, intending to snatch the phone away.She just raised her arm higher in response. “Why so eager?” She taunted before telling the send button. Maybe she did it out of irritation or jealousy even. Maybe it wasn’t and she just wanted to toy you with you. She handed the phone back to you and you were scared of what she had sent.
{
SmartAss: Shouldn't you call your girlfriend love? 
}
You sighed in relief, happy Chaeyoung didn’t send something stupid. Chaeyoung pulls your chair close, setting her head on your shoulder as she waits for Milo to respond. “Happy?” You hear her say and you nod.
{
Miloooo: True, True. She is my only Love. 
SmartAss: Exactly. 
SmartAss: It was nice talking to you today, I’ll talk to you later or at school next week. I have somewhere to go right now.
Miloooo: Alright, with Jennie I'm suspecting? Or Chaeyoung? Both, maybe? They're always with you so it makes me wonder… ;)))
SmartAss: Mhm, correct, Have a great rest of your day.
Miloooo: Correct about what? Chaeyoung? Jennie? 
Miloooo: Give me answers woman!
Read.
}
“Was that the friend who almost died?” Jennie said nosily after you out your phone down.  You didn’t notice she was behind you, giving her a chance to see the texts. She got her answer when you nodded. “Interesting,” Jennie voiced. “But we have to leave now.” She said, already dragging you to the middle of the room where everyone was huddled up. Chaeyoung followed.
"Give me your hand," Chaeyoung said, and you gave it to her to hold, Jennie took your other hand. You all were in a circle, hands clasped together. "I know this looks stupid but this is the easiest way to teleport us all at the same time," Seulgi explained sheepishly.
More teleporting?
Before you could comment on it, a space warp rippled through the room, stopping your voice from coming out and making you unable to breathe properly. The suffocating feeling left as fast as it came as you arrived in a hallway, limbs all still intact. Once it was completely over your legs gave out, causing you to fall. You expected to hit the floor but someone's arms caught you, being Jisoo, who had a taunting smile on her face.
"Be more careful human." The angel said with a pejorative tone, and lifted you back onto your feet. "Thank you.." You said to Jisoo before walking over to Jennie and Chaeyoung.
"Alright, who wants to watch (Y/n) first?' Seulgi said, and you feel like a little child in this situation. She was sure nobody besides Chaeyoung and Jennie was gonna raise their hand but everyone did.
Would you like to continue?

The Big Bad Wolf
Part XXIII
Word Count: 3,251
Warnings: none
“I see self isolation in your eyes and I’m going to tell you right now that you better not even think about it,” your voice was laced with irritation, though it wasn’t at all directed at him.
“But it’s obvious I’m an issue and your mom is right about me,”
“My mom is probably worried about her reputation at work. She’s been there fifteen years and they only stopped looking at her immigration status when Pain came and destroyed the village,”
He opened his mouth, likely to remind you of his involvement with Pain, but you waved a hand and gave him a look to silence him. He reluctantly shut his mouth. 
“My mother’s anger has nothing to do with you or me, really,”
“How? It sounded an awful lot like it had everything to do with ‘us’,” He used air quotes with his fingers.
You gave him a deadpan expression. You could still feel your adrenaline pumping from the call and lacked your normal delicacy. “You can’t control a person’s actions or emotions unless they’re under a Genjutsu. Maybe what she thinks I’m doing influences her emotions, but that damn well didn’t make her essentially call me a whore,”
“I can’t believe she said that to you,” Obito blurted. 
You were grateful he decided to focus on you rather than turning inward. You thought for a moment before you waved a hand, although you had some level of disbelief, too. “She’ll apologize once she’s calmed down enough to realize what she said,”
“That doesn’t make it right.”
“No, it doesn’t,” you agreed. You inhaled deeply, willing the frazzledness to dissipate. As soon as you felt everything calm inside of you, it struck you how very wrong your mother was to do that. She had never been good at handling her emotions, and you usually gave her some grace, but she had really crossed a line this time.
“I don’t… I don’t know that I want to associate myself with her after that,” You looked anywhere but at Obito, who was agreeing with you wholeheartedly in your peripheral vision. 
“Okay, well. I guess that’s decided then,” you looked over at him and shrugged.
“Wait, it’s just done, just like that? You’re not going to rant or… get angry or something?”
“No,” you said slowly, raising a brow.
“You’re just.. Making a decision and letting it go,” he stated unconvinced.
“Yes,”
“How?”
“Uh, with practice. A lot of practice. Works better in some situations than others,”
 “With practice,” he imitated you poorly, rolling his eyes.
You looked at him where he was seated with his back against the wall, a small twinkle in your eye. “You sounded mean just then, what a big bad wolf you are,”
He shot you a dirty look. He reiterated, “She was right about that,”
You got up, stretching so that the shirt you wore rose and just barely covered your behind. You weren’t going to let him start into a spiral, not after the shitty night you had last night. The two of you were going to at least have a nice breakfast beforehand. Damn Toma and his big mouth for making what you were hoping would be an idyllic morning into a whole show.
“Obito, ‘The Big Bad Wolf’. Y'know, if you're a wolf I’d be happy to be Little Red Riding Hood,” you winked. 
He spluttered. You started towards the door, a little extra sway in your step. The door swung open and you left it ajar as you walked out. 
“Hey,” he called after you. “What the hell’s that supposed to mean,”
He came after you, catching up just before you reached the kitchen. “What’re you trying to say?”
“Nothing, Obi, I was just being silly,” you said as you dumped the old grounds out from the coffee maker. 
You rinsed it out and replaced the piece and turned towards him. He was thinking awfully hard, scrutinizing you and then looking out the window when you went to catch his eye. You almost hoped he saw right through you and knew that you had just outwardly flirted with him. 
“Now, what do you want to eat?”
“You don’t have to make me anything, it’s your day off,” he stepped close and reached over your head to grab the coffee grounds, pressing lightly against you.
“I want to,” you replied, looking up into his dark eyes.
He didn’t move away from you or break eye contact when he set the coffee grounds beside you on the counter. 
“Really,” he said. “You don’t need to. I’ve caused you enough trouble, I can at least make something for you on your day off,”
“I’ve caused you way more trouble than you’ve caused me, I’ve got it,” you said testily.
“You haven’t. Let me,” he leaned down a little more into your space to argue. 
You got on your toes and pressed a finger to his firm chest. “I have. I’ve got it,”
“Y/n,” he warned, coming closer still.
“Obito,” You moved closer until you realized how close you really were. Your eyes flicked down to his lips that were now mere inches away. He did the same, and like magnets the distance began slowly closing without either of you aware of who leaned in first. Your chakra started to intermingle, excited and unbidden. You were a hair’s breadth away, eyes half lidded and a fire already blooming against your lips from where his uneven breath brushed against them. Your phone started ringing loudly from the bedroom and the two of you jumped apart like you were struck by lightning and you excused yourself to scurry to the bedroom.
Obito waited for you in the kitchen while you answered, catching his breath. His heart pumped loudly in his chest, the sound of it thumping in his ears making it impossible to hear anything else. He thought he must still be dreaming because there was no way you were about to kiss him. Absolutely not, you were one hundred percent not interested in him like that, he thought to himself in full denial. That’s why you trusted him to be around you in just his long sleeve shirt and nothing else, right? Because you trusted him not to do anything like that. Oh Kami, had he just breached a boundary?
He pinched the skin of his left forearm, and the pain indicated that he was indeed awake. His heart beat harder at the realization. Were you really going to kiss him? Was he really going to kiss you? He recalled in vivid detail your soft lips inching closer, your lashes fluttering closed as he pressed in. It was like an invisible force had taken over for him, he knew if whatever it was hadn’t he would have never been brave enough to do that. 
He looked down the hallway, only to see you coming out with your outfit from the previous night back in place, acting like nothing had just happened. He was immediately confused, and hurt flashed in his chest. He was right. He breached a boundary and you were so uncomfortable you had to leave. He deflated, shoulders slouching. 
“Hey, Kakashi called and said I needed to go down to his office NOW. I’ll be back as soon as I can,” 
“You mean Monday,” he said dispiritedly. 
You paused, one arm halfway through your coat sleeve. “Uh, no. I meant today. So we can have breakfast?”
“Oh, uh,” Obito looked confused, brows pulled together, heart rate starting to pick up again.
“Do you.. want me to wait until Monday?”
“No,”
“Okay, good. I’ll see you after this, then. Have breakfast ready for me, okay?”
“Sure, yeah. Will do,” 
You zipped your boots and straightened out. You waved to him and he waved back a little awkwardly, relieved he was wrong. And wondering what the hell he was going to make for you. 
Kakashi was about to jump up and start pacing when your knock finally sounded at the door. He called you in and you made your way to his desk. He gestured for you to have a seat, so you took one. He reluctantly sat down across from you, his hand landing atop an open scroll. 
“I’ve received a letter from Akujia’s military committee,”
His features that had struggled to stay neutral in his worry smoothed into that of marble, cold and expressionless. “You and Hina were not only spotted, but recognized by a man who could name you. It’s lucky he couldn’t identify Obito, too,”
Your whole body tensed and you sat stock still, eyes wide as you processed the information. Who? Who recognized you?
“The head of the committee, a General Casus, is demanding Hina’s return. He explains in length that they have a right to finish what they have started, by law, because she is an enemy of the state by association of the Zen’in and avoidance of ‘fair charges’ brought against her. You and Obito have also been charged in aiding her escape. Their terms are that charges will be dropped against the two of you if she is returned,”
Your jaw dropped. “No!”
Kakashi held out his hand. “It’s okay, I’m not turning her over to be executed for false crimes. No one here is facing charges from the Akujian government. I brought you here to explain the situation and to let you pick where you’ll be staying,”
“Where I’ll be staying?”
He nodded. “I can’t let you stay unguarded in your current apartment. I also can’t afford to put you in another safe house and thin out my Anbu ranks. You and Hikaru can either stay with Hina or Obito for the time being. They both already have a barrier and I’ve just assigned an Anbu guard to Obito’s location,”
Hina’s place was cramped from visitors and she didn’t have an extra room. Plus… you wouldn’t say it out loud, but you could only take the newborn stage in doses when it came to other people. Your eyes roved the room as you tried to make a decision. Would it sound weird if you asked to stay with Obito? A part of you was almost anxious that he knew about what had just transpired between the two of you.
He did have the extra room across from his, and it was your job to care for him so it made sense to pick his home. Would you tip Kakashi off about your crush by asking to stay with him?
Very slowly you replied, “Obito. I’ll stay with Obito,”
He nodded, satisfied with your decision. His face didn’t betray any emotions as he called out for an Anbu. A behemoth of a man entered the room and stood in the center. You couldn’t help but think he was definitely someone you wouldn’t want to mess with. 
“Ox, please escort her to her apartment for her things and help her move them to Obito Uchiha’s home,”
He held out two extra large scrolls to the man. “These are sealing scrolls. I don’t know how much time she will have to stay there, so get as much as you can in these,”
That statement surprised you. If he didn’t know how long, you were concerned about what was in the Akujian scroll that he had chosen not to mention to you. What he said was pretty cut and dry, something that shouldn’t take too long to figure out, especially between Kakashi and Shikamaru who was a master strategist. 
Kakashi turned to you and picked up a smaller scroll from his desk. “This is a message to Obito, detailing some of the information I have shared with you,”
You nodded and took it from him, standing from your chair and actively keeping your suspicion from your expression. “And Hikaru? Will I be able to pick him up?”
Kakashi shook his head. “I’m going to personally go get him. A rumor his father has started is spreading like wildfire,” His penetrating gaze made you wish the floor would crumble beneath your feet. “I know that it’s not true, but I can’t have him starting fights with you out in the open after receiving this… request. I need you secure as soon as possible,”
“Of course,” you said quietly, completely mortified. 
“Who will take Hikaru to and from school?” 
“We can discuss the details later,” he dismissed you with a wave of his hand.
You nodded and you left with Ox trailing closely behind you. The walk was silent and rushed. You knew better than to try to start conversations with Anbu while masked, not that you particularly wanted to at that very moment. The first thing you did was change your outfit once inside. Then, you took your own sealing scroll and piled your clothes and shoes on top of it. You told Ox to use one of the scrolls to get Hikaru’s bedroom cleared out, and could hear him moving things around while you worked. 
You felt a little dazed as you went along, pulling blankets and some odds and ends into your pile. You sealed the scroll and pulled out another from your bedside table. You went into the kitchen to grab some things before you forgot. Who knew when you would be going to a store again. Ox followed you in, tucking the used scroll in his uniform. 
“What else, ma’am?” he asked in a deep voice befitting his stature.
“The rest of what’s in my bedroom, if you could, please. I think I have anything else covered,”
He nodded and walked back to where you had been while you emptied the fruits and vegetables you recently bought from the refrigerator. Whatever you thought would fit ended up in the scroll, and you hoped it would be plenty. Obito’s fridge was pretty full as it was, but the man ate, well, like a man, and there would be three of you to feed. 
You also hoped he wouldn’t be upset or overwhelmed by this sudden change. Living with you would be one thing, you were obviously familiar enough with each other. Which might also be an issue, but you digress. Adding Hikaru to the mix was a whole different beast. You loved him very much, but that didn’t change the fact that he was still a two year old. 
You were a little nervous walking through the woods to his house. And by nervous, moreso excited. It had dawned on you that you would be staying with someone that you really liked, if almost kissing him this morning indicated anything. It was hard to accept before, but running to him for safety really opened your eyes to the idea that it might be okay to like him. And what your mom had said to you made you want to be with him more. It had only solidified to you your belief that he was a good person. Obito being a wolf in sheep’s clothing was a ridiculous notion. From what you had seen first hand, he was actually a scared sheep in wolf’s clothing. 
Ox didn’t have access to the barrier, so he handed off the scrolls at the clearing before joining his team in the trees. You walked through normally, feeling a little odd knowing that you now had an audience. You noticed that the snow had almost completely melted, a shame for Hikaru who would now have a yard to play with it in. Konoha was never cold enough to keep snow for very long, it was lucky you had had it the past few weeks. 
You opened the door and the smell of coffee and eggs wafted straight to your nose. Obito had already stood from the couch, his own mug set on the floor next to it. You couldn’t help but grin at him. 
“I have some news,” you related a little more excitedly than appropriate.
His brow raised. “I’m guessing good news by the way you’re smiling at me,”
“Both!” You pulled the scroll Kakashi gave you out of your coat pocket and handed it to Obito. 
While he read it, you went ahead to the spare bedroom down the hall. It had been awhile since you had opened the door, and it was probably in dire need of dusting. Your suspicion was confirmed by your sneezing the moment the door was yanked open. You left it ajar and went to the linen closet for a duster and some rags. 
You had just walked in when Obito appeared in the doorway. “How is any of this good news? And what are you doing in here?”
“Oh,” you said and put the duster down. Of course you had gotten ahead of yourself. “The good news is that I’m moving in with you for the time being. Kakashi wanted me safe inside a barrier. Lucky the place I work already has one, right?”
Obito blinked at you in surprise. “You’re moving… here? With me?”
“That is what I said, yes,”
“And you’re okay with that?” He shifted on his feet.
You had a very strong urge to roll your eyes. You placed a hand on his arm. “I’m okay with it if you are. I mean, who knows how long I’ll be in lockdown. It could be months before we see each other again otherwise,”
“You mean you could be stuck here for months?” Despite his wording, his features became more animated, almost like a child about to receive a birthday present.
“No need to get too upset about it,” you joked. 
He shook his head, but the light shone in his eyes despite his best efforts to look neutral. You imagined yourself kissing him to make him give you his goofy lopsided grin again. You cleared your throat as soon as it passed and tried to think of anything else. “Uh, you made breakfast, right?”
“Oh, yeah.” He remained in the doorway for a moment longer before willing his body to move away from you.
You followed him out. He poured you a cup of coffee and handed it over to you before stepping over to the oven where he had been keeping the food warm. He opened it and pulled out a plate with two egg sandwiches. 
“I don’t really know how to make anything else breakfast-wise, so, ta-da. I hope it tastes okay,”
You reached out and he placed the warm sandwich in your hands. He took his own and you could tell he was waiting for you to take the first bite before digging in to your own. You held yours out towards him. He looked between it and you, quite confused. 
“To our new living situation. I think it’ll be quite the adventure,”
“You want me to like, touch my sandwich to yours?”
“It’s a toast, Obito,”
He blinked slowly at you. You waved the sandwich at him. “A toast, get it?”
“Do I… have to live with you?” There was a slight curve to his lips.
“Hush up and toast with me,” 
He rolled his eyes while his smile grew. After an eternity, he touched the corner of his sandwich to yours. You grinned, satisfied, and he couldn’t help it that he broke out into a crooked grin to match yours. 
He took a slow bite of his dry sandwich. Internally, he repeatedly thanked whatever universal force it was that decided it was finally time to have his back. Maybe he could have a little something good, just this once.

I really don't mind fanon portrayals all that much, but I was reading a lot of Harry Potter fics lately and I've realized that "Lily was the smart one" and "James and Sirius preferred to goof off and weren't good at studies" is usually the trope.
Now, I love it when Lily gets more character depth, I've always thought of her as this potions whiz with a sharp tongue. But James and Sirius? You mean the same ones who made the Marauders Map? Managing to plot Hogwarts - which, if I'm remembering correctly is supposed to unplottable - and turned themselves into Animagi which is hinted to be a very impressive magic? Not to mention almost everyone else seems to mention them being bright? I'm not making this up, here are a couple of quotes:
"Your father and Sirius here were the cleverest students in the school, and lucky they were, because the Animagus transformation can go horribly wrong — one reason the Ministry keeps a close watch on those attempting to do it. Peter needed all the help he could get from James and Sirius."
Remus Lupin, Prisoner of Azkaban.
"Look, Harry, what you’ve got to understand is that your father and Sirius were the best in the school at whatever they did."
Remus again, Order of the Phoneix.
"Black and Potter. Ringleaders of their little gang. Both very bright, of course — exceptionally bright, in fact — but I don't think we've ever had such a pair of troublemakers —"
Minerva McGonagall, Prisoner of Azkaban.
And some might consider this over-confidence but they were both calm as can be after the OWLS, and were confident that they'd do well.
Well, I thought that paper was a piece of cake,' he heard Sirius say. ‘I’ll be surprised if I don’t get “Outstanding” on it at least.
You might,' said Lupin darkly from behind his book. ‘We’ve still got Transfiguration, if you’re bored you could test me. Here ...' and he held out his book. But Sirius snorted. ‘I don’t need to look at that rubbish, I know it all.'
From Order of The Phoenix.
So, you know, maybe check on that. I'm not bashing on anyone's portrayals. It's fanfiction, have fun! I just, it's concerning, because these characterizations have become the staple, you know? To the point where I feel like people sort of think it's canon. I'm not even joking, I had a friend tell me she wondered how James and Sirius managed to pass out of school, and I was like: "You did read the books, right?"
It's like how people think Harry and Ron barely passed when in the books, it's mention that they "passed with flying colors" if I'm not wrong. Just 'cause they don't study twenty-four/seven doesn't mean they're stupid, jeez.

what courtney love means to me, and why shes so important to me:
courtney has always stood for the exact opposite of what she's supposed to.
im gonna be really fucking vulnerable in this post and talk about what courtney means to me, why shes such an important figure in my life, and why i just feel like she gets me. tws here: suicide, self-harm, abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault, mental abuse. brief mentions, nothing in depth.
i endured some fucked up shit as a kid, stuff i wouldnt wish upon my worst enemy. ive watched my mother try to kill herself. i got the shit beat out of me as a kid, i watched my mom get the shit beat out of her, i was sexually assaulted.
when i found hole, early this year, i had just got out of one of the worst relationships ever. i needed a change, and i needed it fast. i told myself i wasn't going to be walked all over anymore. i told myself i was done putting up a front of being nice and sweet, because deep down i knew i wasnt.
i discovered hole, i started deep diving on courtney because then the only reason i knew about her was because of kurt. and i fell in love.
i finally realized my potential. i started sticking my for myself more, when back then i only stood up for others. i started to realize that i liked being a bitch. i enjoyed making everyone else fucking uncomfortable because i was loud and i took up space and i stood up for myself and others.
courtney inspired me so much that i started writing songs again. at the time i hadnt written songs since i was a kid, like. a LITTLE kid. but i started writing again.
ive written two songs inspired by courtney or hole songs. one is inspired by softer, softest and its titled wood. its about my childhood, and its about childhood abuse. specifically being whipped with a paddle. a repeating line in it is "pee girl gets the wood" because every time my disability caused me to wet the bed, i would get paddled.
another is about courtney and how she inspired me, how i interpreted the song babydoll to be about girl that courtney couldnt stand because she put up a nice girl front, and how i was sick and fucking tired of being babydoll. i was fucking done with being babydoll. i used to be quiet, i used to just go along with everything everyone did. but not anymore. i am not going to be babydoll once again, i will forever be the violent bitch i am now.
one of the lines in it refrences the "i want every girl in the world to pick up a guitar and start screaming" quote, saying "courtney i listned to you/i picked up a guitar and now im screaming/i wish you could tell me where to go/i dont know where to go from here."
i relate to courtney on so many levels. she gets me. i almost lost one of my (now ex) boyfriends to suicide last year, i still wet the bed because of my disability, and i was the pee girl. i was the girl that smelled like piss every fucking day. i have an awful mother, my dad was never there.
courtney taught me how to be a fucking bitch and every day i become more and more thankful for her. courtney love taught me how to say no. courtney love is for the girls with violent moodswings. courtney love taught me how to love the dark parts of myself. courtney taught me how to hold my own hand, she taught me how to put on my best sunday dress and walk proudly through all my messes.
you can be a disaster and be beautiful. you will walk through flames with your head held high. you will live through this too, you have to. prove everyone wrong, not right. dont give up on yourself, be a fucking bitch.
reblog this with what courtney means to you PLEASE tell me in depth what she means to you i want to know.
