#I love messing up songs and the messed up version getting stuck in my head

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley X Sunshine!Gf

Here is the same exact post with HE/HIM and THEY/THEM.

When they move in together, he provides the basic furniture whilst she spruces it up with plants, photos and random piles of cluter. Making it feel homey.

Shes always talking and Simon is happy to listen to whatever she is saying if it means he can hear her voice and stare into her eyes.

When in public, he’s always touching her, whether they are holding hands or his hand is pressed to the small of her back because she has the tendency to walk off and get lost if something has caught her eyes.

She is always playing some type of music and getting it stuck in Simon’s head. Which makes the rest if his team shook when he’s humming the tune of some pop song on base

She loves animals and BEGS Simon to get a cat, he says no over and over again. Just to surprise her with a black cat on her birthday. One that she happily called Ghost.

When she first saw Simon instead of Ghost, she was shocked. Gobsmacked even, she didn't say a word which nerved Simon. However, she did walk over to him and peck him on the lips before carrying on with her day. From then she would just constantly text him about how hot he is.

Would randomly boop him on his nose, she did it the first time she met the rest of the team and it turned him into a blushing mess. Making her fall into a fit of giggles.

My Little Note - I love Simon X Sunshine!Gf. - I will be posting 2 more versions of this, one for non-binary, and the other for he/him readers. They should both be out the same day that I'm posting this.

My asks are currently open so get the requests in, and check out my masterlist.

THANK YOU FOR READING ALL REBLOGS, LIKES AND COMMENTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Spotify reading: taylor’s version

✨help me keep bringing you free readings with some TIPS.

Thank you in advance.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

T.S 1:

Don’t Blame Me + August

They’re caught up in a love they probably shouldn’t be. It’s one of those intense I can’t get enough feelings, even though they know deep down it’s not going anywhere. They might play it cool on the outside, but inside? They’re totally obsessed. Like, they know it’s bad for them, but it feels too good to walk away from.

And then there’s the fact that this whole thing is probably long over, but they just can’t let it go. It’s very August, where they’re holding onto a moment that was never meant to last. Maybe it was a fling, maybe it was a situationship that burned out fast, but here they are, still thinking about it, still waiting for something to happen that just won’t.

They’re stuck in the past, replaying it all in their head. They act like they’re fine, but they’re secretly waiting for this connection to come back around, even though they know it’s a long shot.

Let me know if it resonates!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

T.S. 2:

Lover + Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me

Your person is dreaming of a perfect relationship. They’re imagining a future with this person, but they’re not being fully real. They’re hiding parts of themselves because they’re scared that if they show who they really are, it’s going to mess everything up.

On the outside, it’s all Lover vibes, like they want the romance, the closeness, all that. But on the inside, they’ve got some stuff they’re keeping hidden. They think if their person saw the messy, complicated sides of them, they’d leave. So they’re playing it safe, showing only the “””best”””version of themselves, but it’s draining them.

They want deep love, but they don’t believe they can have it if they let someone see all their flaws. It’s like they’re living in this balance between being loved and being scared they’ll ruin it.

Let me know if it resonates!

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

T.S. 3:

Anti-Hero + Cardigan

They’re really hard on themselves and they’re constantly overthinking everything, feeling like they’re not good enough, or like they’re always screwing things up. It’s Anti-Hero all the way. they might joke about it or act like they’re fine, but deep down they’re their own worst critic. Every little mistake feels huge to them, even if no one else notices.

They’re also carrying around a lot of nostalgia. Cardigan is their whole mood because they miss feeling truly loved and seen. They’re comparing what they have now to what they had before, whether that’s a relationship, a friendship, whatever. There’s this past connection that made them feel safe, and now they don’t feel like they measure up, like they’re not anyone’s favorite anymore.

They’re stuck between their own insecurities and the memories of a time when they felt better about themselves. They want to feel that love again, but they can’t scape the feeling that they’re not enough.

Let me know if it resonates!

Day One: Soldier Boy + Baby It's Cold Outside

It's late december when Ben comes back from yet another search for a Vought member. He's not really a fan of christmas having never really gotten the things he wanted during his childhood.

The first time Ben hears the song it's during his time away at war. Ben is just thirty, and he loves music. Warming his heart in a way that not much else can. He hums to himself during his time away at war, and as his mother used to. It keeps him clam, and striaght with his thoughts.

It's when Vought takes Ben to be their test subject and their propaganda device, does the song come back to him. Years had passed, Vought wanted, and tried like hell to make the face of thier company sell.

What was worth selling? Sex has alway sold, and by the standards of the world then and now Ben is a deliciously sexy man. Now mix that together with money and you've pretty much got yourself anything you can dream of.

It forces Ben, or what Vought called him "Soldier Boy" to become apart of a few things. Movie titles, pinup posters, and songs. During the sevetnies, and eighties when the tech get's better the songs he laid down on records turned into shitty music videos.

During christmas time one of the years before he was caught by the russians. He does yet another albums filled with winter songs. Speicallifly the song he had used to keep himself level headed during the war, down in the trenches dirt and blood splattering his face.

Shaking the thought he does what he's told, and sings the song. That damn song that has been stuck to him like glue for the past twenty years at least. Ben does a few good things before getting caught by the Russians like buying the song on record his version and the orginal stuffing them away with other importnat documents, and things from his childhood.

Ben can see the stupid LED christmas lights from the apartments window as he walks up his duffel over his shoulder. With that he jams the brass key into the lock twisting and turning the knob before the door gives and he's let in. The lights are dimly light, and the sound of the tv plays in the background.

"I'm home." He says loudly so you can hear over the tv. He can the scampering of your feet on the hardwood, as he drops the duffel kicks the door shut with his boots, and sits down to unlace his boots.

Theres that beautiful smile he wishes he could see everyday whenever he's away. "Hey beautiful." He says with a contentment that you can hear in his voice. You smile sweetly down at him, and when ben gets up from his kneeled postion you smother him kisses.

You taste of choclate and mint, "What have you been up to while I've been gone?" He asks even though he really doesn't have to. The apartment is decorated ceiling to floor in christmas decorations. Ben feels as if he just walked into a christmas store, or maybe a hallmark.

"Well," You start with a smile written all over your face, "I've been trying to get into the sprit of christmas, and  I pulled some of your old records out looking for something a least a little bit chirstmassy." The words "your records."

"You weren't through my things?" Ben doesn't mean for the words to come out so harsh, but they do. Ben is and has always been protective of what he has and that includes you, but he wishes you could have waited till he was home and you had asked him instead.

The smile on your face starts to fall you open your mouth open to apoliges, but nothing comes out. You drop your hand from his, and get quiet moving over to the couch. "I'm sorry Ben." The tv is still playing but the sound is lower.

Ben can feel the tension in the air. Thick and it annoys him. He forgets just how sensitive you can be not used to being home just yet. Ben needs a drink before he can deal with that mess he's created.

He leaves you in the living for now, to mutter in your feelings while he finds in the kitchen a jug of eggnog. An old recipe card sits out, he internally groans. 'Fuck you for being so damn sweet to him.' and 'Fuck him for having such a sweet spot for you.' He pour himself a glass and it hits him with a tingle down his thoart. His eyes scan over the recipe card, In cursive, "Just a dash or two cups of whiskey."

He can't hear you, but cna hear the tv. He rolls his eyes has he pour himself anther cup, and you one as well. When he comes out of the kitchen you are right where he left you. Setting your cup on the side tablebut not before you move a coastar underneath it. He set his cup down on the other coastar. The silence isn't uncomfortable for Ben, but he can feel you messin' with your fingers and nails. He starts to scan what you took out. His records, and one catches his eye.

He slides his fingers over the old package, and pulls the record from the safety of it's home. The record is safe from marks, or scratches and so Ben slips it onto the record player. Grabbing the remote, turning the tv off.

"Listen baby," You don't look at him, "Honey, look at me." Your eyes are glazed with hurt, but you look at him anyways. He has to stifle his laugh at how adorable you look right now for him.

"I'm sorry for being short with you, you know it takes me a few hours to get back and used to being home with you love. Now get up here and let me fix it." Ben says, reaching out his hand palm up so your much smaller hand can fit right in it. You chew your bottom lip for a moment like your thinking of denying him, but as much as Ben's missed you you've missed him tenfold.

You grab his hand and Ben pulls you up effortlessly. He smiles for the first time since he arrived home, and your shoulders fall with contentment. Ben only lets go of your hand for a few seconds just enough to let the needle fall on the record and his hands to slip back into yours. One hand holding onto your hand and the other your waist. The two of you sway as the music crackles and then starts to play.

You rest your head against his large chest, and breathe him in. The first few tracks are not the song Ben's looking for, but he waits patiently. He likes being able to hold you like this, there's no rhythm or reason to your swaying.

That is until the song Ben had been waiting for hit his ears. The songs start slow, and then your movements become more fluid. Your socks glide on the carpet, and even if you accidentally step on Ben's feet he is still okay with having you in his arms. By the chorus of the song Ben's humming in your ear with his hand holding you with a warm grip 'round our waist.

"You'll sing it for me?" You ask with your cheek pressed into his chest. Ben's humming stops and for a moment so does the little swaying the two of you have gotten into. Ben thinks for a moment, "Maybe sweetheart. Maybe." But he can already feel you getting excited at the thought of him singing, "But for now can you take the hummin' and the swayin'?" He asks, putting a stray piece of hair behind your ear. Nodding, you place your head back on his chest, swaying, and humming resumes.

JUST THE SMALL THINGS| RAIDEN X PRINCESS!READER

☆SUMMARY: All he wanted was to be with you, but that isn't so easy with the fact you were royalty. But you'd make it out right? Right?

☆ORIGIN: honestly i just said "fuck it lets play a taylor swift song and write about it", shuffled the playlist and had love story play first so LMAO

☆ADDED: Honestly idc if its shit i just needed to project my idea on something😭

☆"I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess."☆

You came from royalty, just a small kingdom near Outworld. Yet, being from a small kingdom, you were still known amongst Outworlders, practically being able to recognize you everywhere you go.

You still remember when Liu Kang called you to the Temple to help train his students, and that's where you met Raiden. Something just clicked between you two, you guys had chemistry, and Liu Kang gave knowing looks at you but you just shrugged them off. Besides, you were just helping train them right?

But you felt a pang of sadness when the day came to an end and you had to be escorted back to your palace.

You also remembered when he chased after your carriage, yelling.

"Wait! Ms. Y/L/N!"

"Stop the carriage!" You said as you turned a light shade of pink when you peeked through the door of it. "Yes, Raiden?" You said, trying to look unbothered, even thought your heart was racing a million miles per second.

"I- I never got a way to communicate with you. May I have the opportunity to write to you by any chance, your Highness?" He asked subtly, giving a small smile with worried eyes.

You stared at him for a minute before giving a short smile.

"You may. And-" You hesitated. "And you can call me Y/N instead. I prefer it rather than my last name." And you gave him a piece of paper with your location, plus your number.

"I...I have to go now Raiden. If I do ever have the time to help train you at the temple, I will. See you around, I suppose?" You gave a chuckle and waved goodbye to him.

"Thank you, your Highness. I'll write to you as soon as I can." He smiled at you dreamily and waved goodbye as your carriage left the temple. Your soft chuckle seemed to echo through the walls of his head as he watched you get further and further away.

Your parents, as king and queen were strict about their only daughter. And you needed to write to Liu Kang to help ask for permission to help train at the temple. Fortunately, your parents gave in and allowed you to go. With simply just giving you a curfew and their basic rules of "no boys or boyfriends". Which you hated alot, I mean, you were in an arranged marriage alright, but that doesn't mean you had to be stripped away from fun.

"Really? A curfew? I'm past eighteen, mother! I should be able to make my own decisions!"

"And mess up our chance with the other Kingdom? You are going to be married to the prince of the neighbouring Kingdom and yet you want to act like a wild party animal?"

"Mother, I'm not acting like that! I'm only leaving for the Shaolin Temple, for god's sake!"

After this small argument, your mother decided to take back allowing you to go and made you stay in your room.

And you did so, slamming the door as loud as you could as you heard your father shooing Liu Kang away.

You were annoyed. Pissed to say the least. I mean you were stuck here and you wouldn't be able to see the cute boy that you liked maybe a little too much.

You refused to be stuck inside there and did what any normal girl would do.

Sneak out.

And sneak out you did, you had rope you kept in your drawer and tossed it out your window, tying it to your bed post and climbing down.

You ran, you ran so fast you felt like you were about to lose your breath and fall. But needless to say you made it and climbed over the wall, giving a smile of triumph after managing to get out without getting seen.

Liu kang was suprised to even see you at the Temple.

"Y/N? Why are you here? You should be stuck at the palace right now." He said, giving a genuine, but very confused smile.

"I.. persuaded them to let me come." You lied between a tight smile. "I managed to change their mind. Again."

So he just smiled back and gave you a small hug.

"Come then, the boys already left, as I let them have a day off but you are free to have tea here."

You looked sad and sighed. Oh wait, but was he here?

"Is...well, you know, here?"

Liu Kang suddenly seemed to realize why you were so persistent on coming.

"This small crush seems quite funny to me, you have your hand in marriage yet you don't seem inlove with him. And to answer your question, Y/N, I think he left to-"

"Oh! Who left?" You heard a very familiar voice say. "Y/N! I mean- Your Highness! You came." He came up to you, and he was shirtless, with droplets of sweat coming from his very very formed chest.

"Yeah, yeah." You said cluelessly as you stared at his chest. It looked like it was carved by the Elder gods specifically just for you. "Yeah- I was- I was wondering when you were going to write."

"I was about to after seeing that you weren't coming but I mean, hey I see you did come."

You stared at him and he stared at you. And both of you just started staring into eachothers eyes, trying to read any feelings inside them.

"I'll leave you two then." Liu Kang said, as he gave a small nod accompanied by a smile and walked away.

"Well then...uhm..do you wanna eat out somewhere after this?" He asked shyly, turning a slight shade of pink after asking.

"Yes! Shall we go to Madam Bo's?" You say excitedly.

"Madam Bo's? I thought as a princess from another Kingdom you wouldn't have heard of that place."

"Are you kidding me? I love that place! My parents got it delivered to our palace doorstep when I was a kid...actually I think you were the little boy I always saw with Madam Bo." You said, then suddenly realized something. "Did you always have that hat?" You pointed to the hat he held in his hands. "If you did then I'm sure you're the little boy I always saw as a kid then."

"Wow." was all Raiden managed to say. "To figure, back then I think I did always go to that specific palace atleast...3 times a week."

You smiled at him as he gave a small laugh.

"Well wow, I can't believe we already knew of eachother before meeting." He said.

Both of you were silent for a while before he spoke up.

"So Madam Bo's?" Raiden said as he put his shirt on and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Of course!" You tucked your hair behind your ear and mentally thanked yourself you wore something that wasn't flashy to not grab too much attention.

He finished up and stuck his arm out for you to hold.

"Such a gentleman for me." You laughed and linked your arm through his as you left the temple.

Liu Kang watched as you both walked off, laughing, arms linked and gave a knowing smile.

He knew you two would find eachother again.

Just like in any other timeline.

DO I MAKE A PART TWO OR SOMETHING

a/n: I LOVE SPEAK NOW TV SO MUCH!! also this is my new high school au! with a ton of hockey players. this is ALSO based off s4 ep10 of never have i ever. I LOVE THAT SHOW SM

masterlist | request info

It was your aunt’s wedding and your final night before you left your hometown for college. You would be going to MSU while all your friends would be heading to UMich. You knew there would be tension there due to the rivalry, but tonight was about saying goodbye.

Even when you were here with all your friends, you couldn’t get one of them out of your mind. Mark, your enemy of 12 years turned frenemy turned lover turned back to your friend. He left right after graduation to start working out with the hockey coach at Michigan, leaving you sad and alone.

You sat around with your remaining friends at the table assigned for you all. One of your friends was able to snag a bottle of Pink Whitley for you all to secretly drink. That meant it was time for a drinking game of ‘Never Have I Ever’.

“Okay,” Luca drunkenly giggled. “Never have I ever hooked up with someone in school.”

You glanced over at Rutger and his girlfriend as they both took a sip of their Pink Whitley. “Oh my God,” Adam yelled out, obviously disturbed by the new information.

Rutger shrugged before defending himself, “A few quickies in the janitor’s closet doesn’t hurt anybody!” His girlfriend rolled her eyes at his comment while laughing.

“You guys are disgusting,” Ethan laughed.

“Okay, okay! I got one,” you announced. “Never have I ever hooked up with…” Suddenly he entered the wedding reception, looking around like he was lost. “Mark?” Mark was wearing a hoodie and sweats, making him look severely out of place.

Your friend, and Mark’s ex girlfriend, widened her eyes. “I’ve been there before.” She took a sip of her drink, but you weren’t focused on that. You were focused on the male who had just crashed the wedding.

You locked eyes with him from across the room, your heart pounding loudly. “Mark?” You felt dizzy and dissociated as you rose from your seat. You hesitantly walked toward him and stared at him in disbelief.

He looked just as shocked as you were that he was here. “Y/N,” he said, taking a quick glance down at your bridesmaid’s dress. “Wow, you look beautiful,” he breathed out.

This comment would’ve turned you into a flustered mess, but your mind was too cluttered to even process his sentence. The only thoughts in your mind were… “Why are you here?! How did you get here?!” you blurted out loud.

“Well uh,” he stuttered. He looked down at his shoes while his hands buried into his hoodie pockets. “I just felt like I didn’t get to say what I wanted to at graduation and being gone really made me realize that.”

He fell silent, his face turning a bright shade of red. “Realize what?” Your eyebrows crinkled as you waited for his answer.

Finally, he lifted his head and looked you directly in the eye. “Y/N, I didn’t get to tell you that… I really like you.”

You blinked a couple times, your mind went blank as if you were stuck in some sort of vivid dream. “Wait, so you came down here all the way from Ann Arbor just to tell me… you like me?”

“Actually,” he said, his smile slowly rising. “I think I love you, Y/N.” He shifted his weight from side to side, obviously nervous.

You were at total loss for words. Everything seemed to slow down. No noise made its presence known except your own heartbeat that echoed throughout the room.

There was so much going through your mind, but you couldn’t pin down any thoughts. “What?” you blurted. It was the only word you could actually say.

He stared at you for a moment before finally saying it. “I love you.” There was so much emotion and passion in those three words. In those eight letters.

The butterflies in your stomach seemed to have multiplied exponentially at this point. The whole room fell away, leaving you and him alone. “I love you too, Mark.”

His stupid grin grew wide as he let out a small chuckle. “So… you wanna get out of here?” he asked hesitantly. He had an optimistic look in your eye that you would say yes.

At first, you were going to, but then those words snapped you back to reality. You had been so blinded by his confession that you didn’t realize how bad of an idea this was. Sneaking out of your aunt’s wedding.

Are you crazy?

“I don’t think I should…” you frowned.

His expression shifted from blissful to disappointed due to your response. “Oh,” he muttered.

“It’s not you or anything,” you assured him. “It’s just my parents would kill me if I left.”

Before you could continue to explain yourself, you felt someone tap your shoulder. You looked behind you and saw your older cousin. “I’ll cover for you,” they whispered in your ear. “Now, go!” Due to your guys’ bond, they felt more like your older sibling than your cousin.

You looked back at Mark, a smile growing on your face before nodding. “Let’s go!” You grabbed a hold of his hand.

He smiled widely as he intertwined your fingers with his before running out of the reception with you. As soon as you stepped out of the doors, you were met with light rainfall in the early Michigan night. You continued running through the rain with him, getting wet in the process.

You giggled as he led you to his Jeep which was parked right along the street. You hopped in the passenger side while he got in the driver’s side.

The moonlight illuminated his face as he looked back over at you with a wide smile on his face. “Holy shit! This is crazy,” he said while laughing.

“This is!” you answered, but you were too busy focusing on him.

His smile. His Laugh.

Sparks flew whenever he smiled at you, you saw them every time. His laugh sounded more charming to you than the melody of a symphony. It fit perfectly with the man you had fallen in love with.

His chest rose and fell with rapid breaths as he maintained eye contact with you. You could sharpen a knife with the sexual tension in his car.

Mark couldn’t resist you any longer. He grabbed the side of your face and leaned in for the kiss you both had been craving.

His soft lips pressed against yours as your eyes closed. The desperate kiss felt hungry because this time it felt right. It felt like home. You felt positive that you two were endgame.

You broke apart for air, leaning your forehead against his. You hand trailed up to touch his which was on your face. Tears fell down your cheeks as the feeling washed over you again. “I love you so much, Mark.”

He grinned before kissing your forehead again. “I love you too, Y/N. I always will.”

[6okuto]

I saw "suggestion for cove" i ran here asap. So hear me out hear me out.... In game you only hear about mc and Cove going to school between the steps so i would love to see if you have any headcanon about the two of them hanging school life ( from step 1 age to step 3, you choose what age )

— cove school life hcs

thank you. Thank You. i miss him. like i could just replay the game he's Right There but I Miss Him. i'm saur sorry if any of this doesn't match canon I haven't played in so long. also sorry if my experience doesn't match urs. um. i tried to pick universal experiences

the both of you stay up the night schedules come out to make sure you have classes together. there's quiet celebrations when you match up and groans where you don't

you share anything and everything that happened during your time apart on your way home ! cove has never had your math teacher in his life but from the sheer amount of stories you've shared he hopes he never sets foot in that class

BOOK FAIRS! if you really wanted something he'd offer to help pay for it. he might have gotten one of the cool pens or eraser or something

you're always field trip buddies. you sit on the bus together, you walk around together, it is simply law!

oh my god assemblies where the teachers got seats and the kids didn't. he turns to you and whispers about how unfair it is every year. you agree obviously

THE SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PLAYS ☹️ thinking about little cove singing. help. the songs get stuck in your head after music class so they get stuck in His and

little school valentine's where the both of you get each other the cards/candies they sell. platonic or not—personally i love doing it w friends

god. you know he's going to bee line towards you during group projects. why wouldn't he! he knows how you work, you know how he works, it's perfect like It's Perfect

doodle on his notebook doodle on his notebook do

there's a page where the both of you talk in the back of your notes that's a complete mess but it's lovely

asks you for help on what to say during introductions/ice breaker activities. what he says changes over time of course but he's been using the same base for years atp

school dances might be a bit hectic for him but if you wanted to go he'd definitely try his best . just give him some time and don't pull him into the middle of it all please

depends on if cove was athletic or studious but um. cove protecting you during dodgeball! let's think about this (said by girl who despised every version of dodgeball.)

you know he loved the swimming unit for p.e. like he'd actually be excited to come to school

the Dance unit. every time he'd switch over to being your partner you could see him relax

would Absolutely do the thing where you stand in line in a way so you get put on the same teams. every time the teacher would pull a quick one and you'd be on different teams he'd either sneak onto yours or be very upset.

if the class had an assigned seating chart he'd be very tense walking in before seeing the board. he denies it but you're either going to see him pout or grin at the results so

i don't know how they got to school but If it was a vehicle,, car or bus,, just imagining you dozing off and cove scooting over so you can rest your head on his shoulder ☹️

(the first time he saw you rest against the window he started panicking because of how bumpy the road was and now it's stuck in his mind forever)

walking is still quite lovely though. holding hands on the way to school...please.

you and cove will always wait for each other any day you finish earlier than the other

if you ever forgot your lunch cove is immediately splitting his in half

he'd help you study for your classes even if he wasn't taking them. hand him a quizlet/flashcards/your study guide and you're all set!!

y'know how they'd force you to go outside for recess even if it was cold as shit. i feel like cove tried to hide in the washroom at least Once. he could probably get away with it a few times before getting caught

i think it's up to you what it is but like, having something you do after exams to celebrate and relax. i'm not saying cove uses this as motivation but you know.

and if you ever did particularly bad on one cove would be upset with you because ?? he knows how hard you tried and just wants to cheer you up. always reminds you that you did your best and there's always next time.

gives you a Look when you tell him you stayed up or weren't taking care of yourself. will do everything in his power to help you

depending on what clubs you joined, he'd try to tag along. especially if it was a more chill one and not like, a dance club (😔)

^ though if you were in any kind of performance cove would make sure he could come. smiles to himself when you get on stage like Ok That's Awesome For Me

in my mind if you're dating,, you are The prom couple. even if you aren't voted in, it doesn't take a lot to notice the sea green haired boy and his s/o who he has a soft spot for. come on. there's at least 2 friend groups discussing how you'd win (i have no idea how prom works btw)

you know at the end of elementary + jr. high + high school there'd be those parties or graduation. people, fairly, get upset about leaving their friends. but cove without fail looks at you and is always always grateful for the fact he knows he won't lose you

i don't know the last time i used this taglist If Ever. pls tell me if ur not supposed to be on it omg. | @lordbugs @xfangirl-trashx @fifteenshadesofpinkk @lotus-sukimono @bakugosgrenade @vhenis

“What if we borrowed Mav’s plane? You said it’s ready to go, right? It shouldn’t take long for us to drive out to Mojave and start that sucker.” Bradley stared at him. Dear god, he married an insane person. “You’re not serious, right?” “Nevermind,” Jake huffed. “There’s no landing strip at the school.” “Right, ‘cause that’s the only problem with your idea.” or, the one where Kinsley gets stuck at school and Bradley struggles trying to calm Jake down.

Teen trouble by Aphroditedany {T}

it's lily's world and sereshaw are just living in it by pado_hyuck {T}

Little Chick

It was supposed to be a normal exercise. Well, to be fair, it was a normal exercise. They got their asses kicked by their instructor, who Hangman (oh so conveniently) dragged out of the Hard Deck the day before being introduced, as they prepared for their new mission that brought “the best of the best” back to Top Gun. Only the aftermath changed everything he ever thought about Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw. -a single parent au

cuz i'll be in love maze

“Love is like a maze,” his mom said while scooping ice cream into two big bowls for the two of them. “You run in and hope that the person you choose will stay with you to the end. Today, you entered that maze, but she wasn’t your match to take you to the end. You will meet many people in this maze, but there will be one fit for you.” - a prequel to "little chick" through bradley's point of view

Life Still Goes On by Renai_chan

Got to Make It on My Own {E}

Jake and Bradley spend one night together under the heavy, heavy influence of alcohol. It does not go well. But it goes worse for Jake than it does for Bradley because he wakes up with a bonding bite and his new alpha nowhere to be found.

It still does not go well.

It’s just a few weeks after his 8th birthday when Jack Bradshaw-Seresin starts to suspect that his dads are lying to him.

The Perfect Lemon Cookies by quantumoddity {G}

I’m so in love with loving you, that's all I do by hockeyandfootballismyish {M}

Jake Seresin has never had an easy life. From being his father’s punching bag after his mother died to bouncing around in the foster care system until eventually his foster father took it upon himself to mate him because after all, who would want a troublesome omega? Much less one who was pregnant. Or that’s what Jake thought until he met Bradley Bradshaw.

I will come back to you by slowridesr {G}

"Would you... wouldn't you mind if... if something happened between me and Bradley?" "No! Then he would be with us more often and we would eat pizza, and…" "Okay-okay, I understood, am I really that bad?" Ginnie raised her head and frowned while Jake was still smiling widely at her. "You're the best dad in the world," Ginnie whispered half asleep after Jake put the book aside. "And you are the best child. I love you," Jake leaned over and kissed her hair. "I love you too," Jake turned off the lamp and headed to his room, thinking about tomorrow. Maybe he has a chance? * Jake have a beautiful daughter, and still in love with Bradley.

How Long Does It Take? by HoneyWhatever {T}

A passionate goodbye leads to long lasting consequences for Jake.

Two-Way(s) Forward by Barnes_Brain {M}

Jake Seresin was the LA King’s best two-way forward, leading not only his line, but his team with the coveted C on his chest. But when an injury sends him to Bob Floyd, PT extraordinaire, in hopes of getting back on the ice, he finds a little more than a path back to his career.

New Beginnings by Nickies_Nonsense {G}

Bradley swallowed hard, “do you think I can do this?” he whispered. Slider’s hand landed on his shoulder, giving him a reassuring squeeze. “Never doubted you for a second kiddo,” he said. Or, being a new Dad is HARD. Good thing Bradley’s husband Jake is there along with the dozen other aviators they call grandparents. Fluff, cuddling, and dubious child-raising follow.

the fox you feed by lemqnie {M}

It is 1885. Bradley Bradshaw undergoes the worst thing in the Wild West: a three-month long journey with his enemy (Jake Seresin) and a 13 year old (Maddie Whitman). or they're cowboys travelling west to deliver a 13 year old girl to her parents.

Years of Salt and Sunshine by PVB {E}

His whole life, all Bradley Bradshaw has ever wanted is to join the Navy. But his mother kept him shielded from the darker side of the Navy - especially its conservative views of omegas. Bradley finds this out first hand at twenty-two years old, when he goes to a party at his new CO's office and meets his omega - Jake Seresin, Bradley's summer camp crush. Only it's Jake Prentiss now, with three small kids and another on the way, held captive not by laws but by the oppressive weight of his family, his duties, and the Navy's idea of a good omega.

Treat by Jeston17 {G}

Jake has babysitting duty for his nieces on Halloween, getting roped into trick-or-treating.

Or: in this au, Jake meets SingleDad!Bradley on Halloween and they hit it off.

Baby Talk by flyingfightingfishy {T}

“Are you reading him the big NATOPS? As a bedtime story?” Mav asked incredulously. Ice shrugged. “I have a NATOPS check coming up, he wanted a bedtime story, so I asked him if he’d like to help me study and he said yes.” OR Ice doesn't know how to baby talk. He didn't when Bradley was little, and he still doesn't when Bradley has a child of his own.

Girl Scout Cookies by nimuetheseawitch {G}

Second Hand News

It seemed like every conversation he walked past on base was about Hangman. Bradley kept hearing the callsign paired with words like “cute” and unenlightening statements like “I had no idea, did you?” People who he heard just yesterday bitching about Hangman’s ego were gushing about the man, and Bradley was starting to feel like he’d entered the twilight zone. Bradley overhears people talking about Hangman, and he can't make sense of it, or how it makes him feel.

Take Your Daughter to Work Day

As he was about to leave and head back to his own office, Bradshaw called out, “Wait! When did you want to bring her by? Ice wants to pick up his cookies in person and give her a tour.” Jake was barely able to hide his surprise that not only was Admiral Kazansky buying an absurd number of cookies, he also wanted to give his daughter a personal tour of the base. How did Bradshaw just say this stuff casually, like he wasn’t talking about a Navy legend? But he pulled himself together and answered him. “Belle’s staying with me for her spring break, and I got some leave approved. I was planning on helping her deliver cookies on one of my days off. I’ll shoot you a text with possible dates.” “I’ll share that with Ice.” Bradshaw smiled warmly at him. “We’re all looking forward to meeting her, Jake.” 

Baby Bird Learns to Fly by SerenaLight17 {M}

"Baby Bird Learns to Fly" takes off in the aftermath of Jake's turbulent break-up, where an unexpected twist of fate grounds him, leaving him to grapple with life's uncertainties. In an unforeseen turn, two Navy legends become Jake's steadfast anchors, offering him stability and a surrogate family. Fast forward a couple of years, and Jake is summoned back to Top Gun for a covert mission that thrusts him into a world of high-stakes aerial maneuvers, fierce aviator rivalries, and unresolved emotions. Hangman, driven by an unwavering resolve to become the best aviator, finds himself rattled when face-to-face with the man who shattered his heart. Amidst the adrenaline-fueled skies and prideful aviators vying for supremacy, Jake is torn between protecting a long-held secret and the prospect of reopening old wounds.

into bright and happy future by winterbucky {G}

Alexandra Seresin is a delight to have in class, and Bradley has never been so happy to be a substitute teacher. She's bright, funny, mischievous, and just so happens to have a Dad exactly like that - with the added benefits of being a firefighter. It takes Bradley a while to warm up to the idea of the mysterious Mr Seresin, but their first meeting goes better than expected. It's hard to dislike a man who's such a good, loving dad for his daughter or parent/teacher with smitten (if a bit suspicious) bradley, hot and sweet jake, and the sweetest little girl in the world. girl dad hangman ftw

If you need me call me, you don‘t have to worry by LoveMadeThemDoIt {_}

Jake sighs, squeezing the phone between his ear and shoulder to get the laundry out of the dryer. “Your daughter is fine,” he reports. “I, however, officially got my Cool Dad card revoked.“

Can't buy me love by SunMonTue {E}

Jake doesn't need help around the ranch, but he's not going to turn down cheap able-bodied labor either. He's not stupid. The fact that Bradley knows nothing about ranching doesn't exactly help his case, but he's a fast learner.

it runs in the family by ofguttersandstars {M}

swamp boy

Ness Seresin is born on Caddo Lake, split between Texas and Louisiana. He comes a month too early. (Or, a brief look into the childhood of Jake Seresin, who wasn't always Jake, and the five kids he raised).

hell’s comin’ with me

“You don’t want kids?” Jake repeats, a broken record at this point, as he sags down further in his seat. It’s a slight motion really, but he does it; he can't help it. In the same way he can't help the burn of rejection in the back of his throat. They're done. They have nowhere else to go from here, and the thing is — Bradshaw doesn't even know it. (Or, five times Jake put his kids before himself and one time he didn't have to).

The Sunrise Found Me With You by Emilyandthecat {T}

“You looking for any of that?” he says, trying for causal and only just saving it from being smarmy. “Any what?” “Any, uh…trouble?” As if he’s in a jet, Bradley can feel himself losing altitude in the conversation, there’s a robotic voice in the back of his head telling him to pull up. “I mean, uh. Well, would you maybe ever want to – “ Jake looks good here too, something secret and keen about the way his eyes can’t seem to rest on one spot for too long. First looking up into Bradley’s tamed down curls, then admiring his arms, then down to his waist and back up again. “Get into trouble with you?” Jake says, quiet between them. If Bradley didn’t know any better, he would say that Jake was batting his lashes at him. He really, really hopes he doesn’t know any better. Or: Jake and Bradley are asked to demo the Uranium Mission to the newest batch of Topgun pilots.

✦ Musical OC Tag 2 ✦

Following this open tag from @mysticstarlightduck! I did a few more on SaS's characters on this post, but am creating another to put more songs for the tAR main characters!!

Rules: Share 1-3 songs you feel best embody a character from your WIP/s, either in general or at this moment in the plot.

Characters from the Arcane Rifts: Gene, Tazin, and Mislav

Using generalized songs! Though some of them are definitely better placed at various points in the characters' lives, but... oh, well!

GENE

1. Fire - The Score

In my head I hear a million conversations I'm spinning out, don't wake me up until the end The rivers flowing in denial I can't fake it I'm paranoid that all my thoughts are all my friends (...) All these thoughts I battle creeping up my skin, creeping up my skin Fears they try to rattle who I am within, where do I begin It's one of those days, my world is crashing everything looks on fire It's one of those nights, I'm dreaming but I'm walking on a wire All these thoughts I battle creepin' up my skin, burn 'em from within like

(but pretty much the entire song tbh--)

2. Hopeless - Picturesque

Am I the only one that sees the problem In a room with no doors, no clock Time's flying Don't remember how I got here Think I'm lost, now I'm stuck Warped vision, feeling dizzy hit the ground and wake up I've been here before Bodies on the floor Cold shit Burning up my throat Staring at the door Focused I think I should go

(once again pretty much the entire song tho)

3. Paradise - RIELL, M.I.M.E

I'd run and I'd run and I'd Hide in a secret place They'd never, they'd never Find it, not for the weak minded, show me all your scars (...) I've heard time heals everything That broken down house got a new coat of paint I still feel it everywhere The walls closing in, that unbreathable air Are they so different, your house and mine? Both have their secrets buried inside When we grow up, we all fight to survive 'Cause everybody wants something

TAZIN

1. Apologize - Grandson

I lose a bit of myself with every selfie Lose sleep over wealth, it's not healthy Finding a new religion on Yelp to come help me Praying to the label itself, "Do not shelf me" In the middle with the beggars and rejects Reading between text with weed, liquor, and sex She say she love me at dusk, but at dawn I pack up my things and I'm gone And I don't know where I'm gonna go But I don't care, I'm on the road Never been a perfect soul But I will not apologize Been a lot of places in this life And I did a lot wrong I can't make right Never been a perfect soul But I will not apologize (Said I will not apologize)

2. Rockstar - Call Me Karizma

And I don't care about anything Play me hard, baby break my heart I don't need ya, I got a Visa Swipe three times, it'll take you far Okay okay, I guess I'm a mess No one told me fame would be like this I used to be called a fuckin' bitch Now every night I can fuck your bitch (...) Get a check, make it four Takin' meds, take some more Sick of sex, but I'm bored Okay okay, I guess I'm a dick No one told me fame would be like this I used to be called a fuckin' bitch Now every night I can fuck your bitch

(obviously this is for an older version of Tazin, not the smol babi child you see in books 1 and 2--) (oh, and yeah, this stuff is a good part of why I give him a hard time. Because he grows into this.)

3. Enemies - The Score

Fight til the end of me, til the end of me Did you think that it would be that easy? This ain't a tragedy, a tr-tr-tragedy I'm not going six feet in the ground It's not a fever dream, it's reality Cut me open and my heart's still beating Healed from my injuries, now I'm on my feet I'm not going six feet in the ground Cause I believe underneath I won't ever lose composure No defeat, won't retreat

MISLAV

1. Past the Past - New Medicine

I try to move on but every time I do I can't get past the past My therapist thinks I'm a wreck Why do I spiral and obsess Over heartbreak and regret? Things I said I can't take back I can't get past the past All I've learned growing up Is everyone lies and people suck I try to see the good but I can't find it Must be something broke in my mind

2. If It's Vengeance You Want - Unlike Pluto

Eye for an eye Never made sense to me, payback till everyone's blind Sacrifice Morals, integrity, everything comes with a price Oh, why Stand by You'd rather rage and take it out on me It's fine Don't lie You are lost so you just make up enemies Eye for an eye Everybody tells themself a lie To justify If it's vengeance you want, don't be shy Lie for a lie Trading in angry delusions you hold in your mind Buried under The floorboards of your Cold War, foundational agony, oh

(and literally the whole song ngl)

3. Blood // Water - Grandson

Beg me for mercy Admit you were toxic You poisoned me just for Another dollar in your pocket Now I am the violence I am the sickness Won't accept your silence Beg me for forgiveness We'll never get free Lamb to the slaughter What you gon' do when there's blood in the water? (...) I am the people I am the storm I am the riot I am the swarm When the last tree's fallen the animal can't hide Money won't solve it What's your alibi?

These songs were simultaneously so easy and yet so difficult to pick. Like, I've had such a large selection of songs for Gene and Tazin (some of my longest-existing characters!!!) for a while, so there was a huge pool to pick from... and Tazin's were the top of his playlist, of course, haha. Meanwhile, Gene surprisingly had two newer songs in there! Congrats on the growth, Gene!... oh wait it was just more depression nvm, sorry bud.

Tag List!!!: @honeybewrites (I feel like this counts, but if you think otherwise I can not include this kinda thing in "story stuff", haha)

Simon 'Ghost' Reader X Sunshine!Partner

Here is the same exact post with HE/HIM and SHE/HER.

When they move in together, he provides the basic furniture whilst they spruce it up with plants, photos and random piles of cluter. Making it feel homey.

They are always talking and Simon is happy to listen to whatever they are saying if it means he can hear their voice and stare into their eyes.

When in public, he’s always touching them, whether they are holding hands or his hand is pressed to the small of their back because they has the tendency to walk off and get lost if something has caught their eyes.

They are always playing some type of music and getting it stuck in Simon’s head. Which makes the rest if his team shook when he’s humming the tune of some pop song on base

They love animals and BEGS Simon to get a cat, he says no over and over again. Just to surprise them with a black cat on their birthday. One that they happily called Ghost.

When they first saw Simon instead of Ghost, they were shocked. Gobsmacked even, they didn't say a word which nerved Simon. However, they did walk over to him and peck him on the lips before carrying on with their day. From then they would just constantly text him about how hot he is.

Would randomly boop him on his nose, they did it the first time they met the rest of the team and it turned him into a blushing mess. Making them fall into a fit of giggles.

My Little Note - Hope yall enjoy - If I haven't changed any of the pronouns, please comment what one, as I copy and pasted this directly from the GF version!

My asks are currently open so get the requests in, and check out my masterlist.

THANK YOU FOR READING ALL REBLOGS, LIKES AND COMMENTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

I Wanna Be With You ~ (Chapter 1)

Characters: Bang Chan x OC!Soleil

Fandom: Stray Kids/Skz

Warnings: None

Word Count: 2.0k

A/N: Hello, I write a lot but this will be my first time writing a fictional version of a real person so sorry if I mess up, I love Channie and I love the thoughts I have about Channie and want to express them through writing him with a new original (black!!!! 💅🏾) character of mine, Soleil (pronounced Soh-lay). I hope this is up to some of y’all’s standards and that y’all like it, enjoy!

No matter what anyone tells you, always remember to follow your heart. It may lead you to wonderful places and new experiences. Exactly like how it led Soleil to finding the love of her life. Soleil wasn’t sure what she wanted to do when it was time for her to enter the real world. So many of her peers realized things about themselves and had future plans that seemed so impressive and successful that they made her feel like she’d be stuck in the same place forever. Eventually, she had had enough of being confused about the future and needed to figure something out.

They say that a job is not the same as a career. That you can work a job, but you want your career to be something you’re passionate about. For Soleil, that was entertainment. She absolutely loved the entertainment industry ever since she was a little girl and would swoon over Aladdin’s smile or dance along with Beyoncé on YouTube or picture herself winning her own Oscar for being cast in a big movie. She understood that a big part of the entertainment industry was the behind-the-scenes work. Like the people that helped in the dressing rooms, fixing up the entertainers to look their best. As she got older, she fell in love with makeup. From daily looks to Halloween spooks, she was obsessed with it. A lightbulb appeared over her head when she came up with a wonderful idea. Soleil would learn to work in the entertainment industry as a makeup artist!

Soleil worked hard to learn all she could about makeup and skin and how colors worked for different tones and shades. She enrolled in cosmetology college and esthetician training classes and always worked hard to be successful, some of that success coming from showing off her creativity and style. Things started out small but over time she got more and more hirings for more than just parties and proms and weddings. She was getting hired for fashion shows and television and small movies. However, even with her success, she still wanted a little more from life itself. At the age of 23, she packed up her bags, hugged her family and everything she knew goodbye, and traveled to a place on the other side of the planet. Depending on which way you go, of course.

Another one of Soleil’s loves was music. The way certain voices would hug her mind be it happy songs or emotional songs or songs meant to make you feel like you could defeat a final boss, she loved music. During her early college days, Soleil found a new genre of music that she’d never heard of before called K-Pop. Korean Pop wasn’t popular where she was from but some of her new peers seemed to know a lot about it. Listening to K-pop is actually where a lot of her new school friends came from. Out of all the groups she listened to, the band to win her heart was Stray Kids. A group of eight incredible, talented, and super handsome men that sang and danced their way into her heart. The way their beautiful and unique music and voices took control of her emotions and turned her bad days into the best days was a special kind of happiness.

Happiness. That's exactly how she felt when she looked into his eyes. Among the eight members of the group, there was the oldest, the leader, Bang Chan. Bang Chan spent years on screen, becoming a trainee at the JYPE company when he was thirteen years old. He spent seven years waiting to find his group and those seven years could definitely be described as worth it. Sure, the group had their own trials and tribulations to overcome, but they continued, and continue, to rise through the ranks and make their place in halls of fame. Growing each year, becoming close like brothers. They're a family that represents fate. Award after award, sparkling performance after sparkling performance, Stray Kids shake the music industry and make their place everywhere all around the world.

Bang Chan is also one of the groups producers, his talents are more than what he does on stage or at dance practice. He spends all night putting beats together and working his magic, which he also does with Changbin and Han, who make up rap group 3Racha when all three of them join creative forces. "I can't stay awake anymore, Channie-hyung... I think Jisung is already asleep," Changbin yawned, sitting up on the couch to stretch. "I'm going to call a car to come get us. I think we have makeup trials in the morning for the next awards performance. I don't want to fall asleep with an eyeshadow brush on my face." While Chan could hear him talk, Han... not so much, his mind was only focused on the words of this new song. Or at least on the new beat anyway.

It was going to be a new love song, something to follow up Case 143 and Winter Falls. It would be a soft melody, something you could fall asleep to because it would ease your heart so you can focus on the person you love. "Chan-hyung? Hellooo?" Changbin's voice was actually able to capture Chan's attention this time. "Huh? What is it?" Chan turned to look at the great Dwaekki man who shook his head and sighed. "Let's go. I want my bed. You, too, Jisungie." Changbin pushed on Han's leg with enough force to wake him up but not enough to hurt him. Han whined and Changbin grumbled as Chan looked up at his desktop and began signing out of everything for the night.

By the time they got downstairs, the car was sitting right outside of the door. They let Han climb in first so he could get to the backseat and sleep some more on the way to the dorms. Chan, as always, let Changbin climb in second and then climbed in himself to make sure he was the last one inside. The other two members took naps in the car, but Chan forced himself to stay awake until they got home. There was pretty much silence other than some yawns and 'Goodnight's exchanged as they all turned in for the night. As Chan fell asleep, his mind continued to play the lovely melody they had conjured up while working in the studio. He felt the ends of his mouth twitch into a smile as he thought about how his fans would feel about this new love song. He hoped they'd feel dreamy.

The next morning, alarms woke the boys from their sleep. It was time to get up and get ready for makeup trials. Even the cold water while brushing his teeth and eating an energizing breakfast couldn't wipe the sleep from Bang Chan's mind. He was still so tired from last night; he couldn't even remember what time he went to bed. In the car, he let his eyes do a few long blinks until they got back to the JYPE building. He could've sworn he was sitting on a couch the last time his eyes closed but all of a sudden, he's now waking up in a makeup chair in front of a vanity mirror. "Soleil, Bang Chan is over here in chair four. You might want to hurry before he goes back to sleep."

Chan turned to look up at the kind voice talking about him. It was Sun Yoo, one of their veteran makeup artists. "Eh, I'm not sleeping. I don't know what you're talking about," Channie mumbled, sitting up in his chair and yawning. "Suuure. I believe you." Yoo smiled, chuckling to herself while blending out Felix's smokey eye. "I'm here, I'm here!" An even kinder voice announced herself. Chan watched a new person set up her makeup supplies. She had brown to blonde ombre with dark roots. The hair was curly, kinky even, which was something he'd heard about on the internet. Her skin was sparkly and deep brown like a luxurious espresso color. It was smooth and beautiful and looked so soft. "Annyeonghaseyo, Mr. Bahng. My name is Soleil. I will be your makeup artist for the day. It's nice to meet you."

Soleil quickly did a slight bow but to Chan it lasted forever. The light from the vanity shown behind her and flowed through her curls as they bounced coming back up. Her nose was beautiful and broad, very cute. It had the slightest teddy bear look to it. Her cheeks were soft with the slight tell of cheekbones and a pretty jaw that one could lift for a perfect kiss. The only makeup she had on was lip gloss, strawberry blush, and some mascara as far as Chan could tell. Her eyes were a brown that could make even the coldest heart feel warm like a big hug in a wool blanket. They made him feel safe and protected, which made him want to protect her.

"Mr. Bahng? Hello? Uh... Bang Chan?" Soleil's head was tilted with her face in a confused pout when Chan snapped out of his gaze. "Hm? Yes, yes, that's me. I'm Bang Chan. It's nice to meet you, Soleil. I trust that if anyone can make me beautiful, it's you." Chan smiled ever so welcomingly at his new makeup artist. Soleil couldn't help but smile back at his immediate charm. "Yes, sir. I'll do my best. But between you and I, I think you look beautiful just like this. Such a handsome man." Soleil had this smile she'd do where her two front teeth would show like a cute little bunny. Kind of similar to Felix. That smile of hers, those soft, full lips that had the prettiest two-tone coloring. He shouldn't be having these thoughts about this random but perfect woman he just met but he couldn't help it. She was mesmerizing.

Once the makeup trials ended and the artists and beauticians parted ways, the other members decided to order food to pick up on the way back to the dorms. There was an intense game of rock paper scissors to decide which car would be picking up the food that day, Chan's car lost and was chosen as the delivery chariot. Together, he and Hwang Hyunjin, another amazingly charming member of the group and co-writer of the song Red Lights, entered the restaurant together since it was a big order for one person to carry.

While they waited for the food, they engaged in small talk about how the makeup trials went. Hyunjin expressed how he whined and begged for glitter shadow and surprisingly won. Chan was proud of his musical son for fighting for what he wanted. While Hyunjin continued to talk about his experience, Chan saw gold with his peripherals. He turned to see... Soleil? What were the chances that she picked the exact same restaurant as them? She was sitting at a table with Sun Yoo and some other women that worked at the company. It kind of made Chan feel buttery to know that Soleil wasn't lonely.

If only he knew he was staring at her before she turned and looked him in the eyes. He jumped and quickly looked away, his nose and cheeks and ears becoming an adorable shade of pink. He glanced back at Soleil to see her smile at him before going back to talking to her friends. "Order for Mr. Bahng," the cashier called out. Hyunjin stepped up to the counter to grab the first bags of the group's food and then Chan after him. As they headed towards the door, something told Chan to take one more look back. It was too strong of an urge to ignore, so he did. He turned around and looked at Soleil who looked up at him when she caught notice. He readjusted the food to lean against him so he could have a free hand to wave at her. The rush he got when she, and the other women at the table, waved back was so energizing. He'd been more awake now than he had been all day. He turned back around and grabbed the food with his free hand and headed on out to the car. He really hoped to see Soleil again. Soleil, the human sunflower.

Hello and welcome to the 1989 Taylor's Version thoughts post. I'm putting all of this here because I know not all of my mutuals are swifties so this way I won't be spamming everyone's dash with my thoughts lol. I am writing all of this as I listen to it. It will be long. It is probably nonsense, you have been warned. Thoughts are under the cut.

Welcome To New York - The harmonies??? Hello?? Damn. The vocals feel a lot more raw. I loved this song to begin with. I love this one. DAMN THOSE VOCALS. 10/10 great start.

Blank Space - Gonna be honest, I didn't really like this song when it came out. Now, it's okay. Again, the vocals are way more raw. The old one was super synth-y and autotune? This one not so much. Not my favorite, but it good.

Style - This was my favorite song for sooo long. I have high expectations. The vocals again- damn. She doesn't emphasize the high notes like she did before. I am noticing a theme where the old tracks had a LOT of synth and these are kind of laying back on it.

Out Of The Woods - The backing vocals are way more clear?? Damn okay. She sounds so emotional what. HARMONIES OH WOW. The high harmonies in the chorus oh my god. Oh the bridge. Oh wow. Yep okay I love this. It hit hard.

All You Had To Do Was Stay - Okay okay it's getting redundant but god these vocals. They're so good what.

Shake It Off - I had to do dance routines to this song two separate times and I didn't want to do it either time. I don't like it now lmao. It's okay though. Again, I point out the lack of autotune.

I Wish You Would - I'm grooving so hard right now oml. It's so emotional but it's also incredibly groovy I love it. "It's all good" um girly are you sure?

Bad Blood - This was sooo overplayed when it came out. Vocals are super raw again. It's good though I don't hate it.

Wildest Dreams - I want to rap myself up in this song like a blanket and stay there for hours oh my god. I'm in love. There's nothing else to say.

How You Get The Girl - Ooh guitar. This is the first song I've heard distinctive guitar in. Honestly- not my favorite. It wasn't my favorite then and it isn't now. It's not bad, I'm just not a fan.

This Love - Ooh more guitar. This song is the kind that randomly gets stuck in my head and I don't really know that to do with it.

I Know Places - Oh god I love this song. Who knew running from the paparazzi could be such a fun song. OH WOW THAT SCREAM OKAY. THE HARMONIES. THE VOCALS. I'm grooving again I love this so much.

Clean - This is such an emotional song. I love it so much. It hits really hard for me. The raw vocals make it hit so much harder. I love this song. <3

Wonderland - Oh I'm grooving now. Ohhhh I love this. I don't usually like songs with Alice in Wonderland references because it's so special to me, but this one is okay I think. GODDAMN THEM VOCALS OKAY. Ohhhh vocalsssss. Okay I love this.

You Are In Love - This song makes me feel like I'm back floating in a quiet pond surrounded by little water flowers and little fish and frogs and a small waterfall. It's so nice <3

New Romantics - I love this song so much this better be good. She's really sticking with that theme of clearer vocals. Nothing sounds messed with at all. The chorus is... loud. I like it. It's pretty good.

VAULT TRACKS BABYYYY

"Slut!" - I was NOT expecting this to be so soft okay. Oh. Okay. Wow. I want to cry. "It might be worth it for once" Oh wow. That hit so hard.

Say Don't Go - Okay this is kind of what I expected. It's pretty good honestly. I can't tell if I should be crying or dancing. Oooh this is emotional. I like it. Vocalllls. It's good.

Now That We Don't Talk - This is more fast paced than I thought it would be. Lower register yessss I love it when she does this. OH WOW the lyrics are- oh wow. THIS BRIDGE OH WOW. Usually her songs fade out but this one just stopped so abruptly. I like it. I like it a lot.

Suburban Legends - Oooh I like this vibe. "You kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever" OH GOD. Oh wow these lyrics. This hits so hard oh my god. "I broke me own heart cause you were too polite to do it" WHAT. Oh my god. I love this.

Is It Over Now? - I am preparing to cry. Oooh that intro that's interesting. This sound sounds very Out Of The Woods esq. OH WOW LYRICS OKAY. OKAY THAT'S AN OUT OF THE WOODS REFERENCE. WHAT WHAT THESE LYRICS WHAT HOLD ON. I need to process this oh my god. That's- that's a lot. This song is so good but oh my god that's a lot to unpack.

OVERALL

I love this album. It's absolutely amazing. The common theme that I found was all of the vocals were wayy more raw than the original. They also really laid back on the synth, which makes it feel way more like a pop album than an indie album which is the vibe I got from the original. All in all, 10/10 I will be listening to this for the nex few months.

[shipsgaysfordays]

15 questions 15 tags

Thank you for the tag @spikybanana <3

Nickname: You know I give my friends nicknames but I don’t think they’ve given me one, I guess you could say my nickname is shippy because despite that I probably have given my normal name on here before I’ve lately decided that I want to be a mystery and am just going by that because it’s a shortened version of my blog name

Height: Annoyingly average for a femme born person (5’4)

Last thing I googled: “grendel book” I read it about a year ago for my english class, somewhere deep in this blog there’s a post with a ton of queer sounding grendel quotes, I looked it up today because I was wondering when it came out and if it would be something Remus Lupin conceivably could have read. It came out in 1971 so I would say so. Was a good read, I recommend.

Song stuck in my head currently: Imagine if you will, you’re in a high school french class, your first year of french. Your teacher is trying to teach you the numbers and turns on this masterpiece. It will be stuck in your head forever, your welcome.

Number of followers: Dudes, this doesn’t fucking matter. But I will say we were recently at 69 followers and then these new people decided to join in and fuck everything up (I’m kidding I love you all even though I don’t understand why you’re here)

Amount of sleep: Around 8 hours, I probably should sleep more because I’m sick but I’m not

Dream job: Attainable dream—strange art teacher. Less attainable dream—having an alter ego that creates graphic novels, books, and art while at the same time being a cryptid like art teacher and having kids that I really vibe with that respect me. Being in a class where I can honestly help these kids grow into better artists and people and where I can honestly be inspired by them too.

Wearing: A sweatshirt and pajama pants

Movie/book that summarizes me: I have some journals that I wrote if that counts. Idk if there’s anything else that I vibe with to the point of saying that’s me.

Favorite song currently: Dorian Gray by Andrew Montana, I will promote this man’s music for forever, listening to it feels like falling in love, it feels like magic, it’s my favorite thing.

Aesthetic: Depends on the day dude. Sitting in a comfy chair with my cat laying on top of me. Acrylic paint along my arms because I made a mess of myself while working on something I love. Tasting the batter of some cookies as I’m baking. Walking along and humming to myself in a cold breeze with leafs flying around. Reading fanfic on my phone with my red irritated eyes but not stopping because I’m too into the story. Yelling in victory as I beat my friends in a board game. Sitting queerly in a chair.

Favorite authors: …Rick Riordan, A03 people (I’m a gay disaster)

Random fact: Shit man I know almost nothing about the world. If you run out of black acrylic paint (this may work with other sorts of paint too but don’t quote me) mix together violet, blue, and orange and you should be able to get a natural looking black, it may not be as pigmented but it works.

No pressure tags because I’m going to try to actually tag 15 people

@flowerboypoet @oxydiane @rainy-nights-and-fairy-lights @moonlarking @moonlvr69 @boxbeetle-mp3 @alcanceress @agere-agender @notalover-justasinner @pickabetterusername @atydlover @lupinsmoons @prettiestparagon @oxydiane @witchofthemoss

(sorry if this is annoying to any of you guys but I really wanted to finally try and actually get 15 tags this time, I know I haven’t really interacted with a lot of you, but if you want to play the tag game<3)
