I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was twenty-seven. Iâve known what it was since I was young, but I never thought I had it because all my behaviors were explained away by the âadultsâ as just being lazy. I knew other people legitimately had it, but me? I guess I was just lazy. I wrote in an earlier post about how I became a âvery successful D student,â this was because despite being so lazy, I was working exhaustively to barely maintain that D average. Things would only get worse despite my attempts to get organized. I still struggled to focus on one thing at a time and I was struggling on a whole new level in college.
Every day felt like a blur. My schedule was packed, I had a fairly work-intensive major that meant being busy Monday through Friday from 7AM to 10 PM. I never seemed to get the hang of it and just dragged myself through everything. There were some half-hearted attempts â I would print my schedule, try to use Google calendar, make lists, all that normal âorganizationalâ stuff. Nothing ever seemed to stick for more than a day, and I always ended up with random notes everywhere and a schedule posted from two months ago on the wall. I couldnât settle my mind enough to focus on any one thing. I would be thinking about my schedule while making a note about what type of list I should use. I didnât have a concept or process for one thing at a time. My brain defaulted to all or nothing, which one hundred percent of the time ended up with me being overwhelmed and finding anything else to distract me from how distracted I was. It was exhausting. Â
The first time I legitimately tried to get help, I took some bold steps but ended up landing flat on my face. I had just got home from my first full year of undergrad feeling demoralized and like I was destined to never figure out how to do school. I used Google to look for a counseling clinic in my area that was cheap enough that I could pay for a session out of pocket. I was on my parentsâ insurance and our coverage was fantastic, but I couldnât risk the humiliation of them seeing a counselor on their bill. My family was never big on mental health, and I was positive I would be met with the suck it up and get over it routine, while becoming the butt of even more of my families jokes for years to come. I found a small place about twenty minutes from my house and even braved a phone call to ask how much a consult would be. I donât remember the exact figure but $70 feels about right. Cool.
I pulled up to the clinic and immediately started feeling both ashamed and sketched out.
Am I really about to walk in this place and say, hey! I donât understand anything! help!
I couldnât even put my finger on what it was I needed help with. I couldnât just say âI suck at school!â and let them take it from there. First, what if they think I am just begging for drugs? Second, they will probably say âLOL yeah lots of people do, hereâs your bill!â I was so excited thinking I might finally get some help that I hadnât taken the time to think about what help I needed. That was the shame, but I also said I was feeling sketched out. This is because I noticed that there were crosses on their building. wait, am I at a church? It didnât look like a church, but it kind of felt like one. I guess there are a lot of Saint this-and-that hospitals, so maybe this is just a satellite campusâŠfor a hospitalâŠin what looks like an old houseâŠ.Well, Iâve come this far, I wonât turn back now!
I took some deep breaths and gathered myself before getting out of my car. I get to the door, which has a âPlease come in!â sign, so I push it open and â ah fuck, it is a church. I was met in the hallway by the âcounselorâ who was a woman in her mid-fifties. She looked like someone whose favorite pastime was yelling at cashiers for not having an extra penny. She was trying to appear warm and inviting, kind of like when the Trunchbull invited you to her office to see the chokey. She led me back to her office, well she called it an office, I would call it a living room with a computer desk. I rambled for a solid ten minutes about what I was seeking help for, which was really just word vomit dressed up like a stream of consciousness. She asked what I have tried so far, but when I was responding I could tell her eyes were blank. It made me think of my mom. Whenever I would try and talk to her, you could see it on her face that she was absolutely tuned out. Itâs that look where youâre not even pretending to listen. When I had finished, she looked at me for a few moments and said,
âI see! I noticed you didnât mention your relationship with Godâ
Now it was my turn to tune out. She kept talking but all I could do was sit there thinking what. the. fuck. is. this. shit? If religion and/or God is what helps you â thatâs great! I have all the respect in the world for you! But in that moment, I was pissed. I was looking for legitimate mental health counseling, and this woman â from phone to table, had only one thing on her mind, and it was not about helping me.
I was nineteen when this happened and wouldnât be brave enough to seek any form of therapy or counseling again until I was 27. I thought about if from time to time, sure, but I could never get the memory of that experience out of my head. There was one silver-lining though, she didnât charge me the $70.
Thank you.

FANFICTION
SPOILERS FOR DOCTOR STRANGE AND THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS!!!!
âŠ
 âŠ
âŠ
âŠ
SINCE NO ONE ELSE HAS...
ÂĄJohn Krasinski!
Reed Richards x ReaderÂ
The One Exception
part 1
(Mentions of Stephen Strange x Reader)
đŸđšđčđ”đ°đ”đźđș: REED RICHARDS LIKE THIS MAN HOT, Arguing, Violence, Blood, Death, and the reader being overpowered (lol) SMUT IN PART 2 EHEHHEHEEH. SO YA SAFE FOR PART 1 Me being lazy and not going to spell check rn. I will soon LMAO
đš/đ: Hello everyone! I am so sorry my Moon Knight people. I have been so busy with my Doctor Strange needs I simply had no motivation until late. After MOM though I will be doing many doctor strange fics and mainly focus on him, plus the characters in the movie. EVENTS WILL BE CHANGED/Out of order for plot sake.
đșđđđđđđ: You are one of the original members of the Illuminati. For many years Reed Richards had been in love with you despite Stephen Strange owning your heart. Years after Stephen's death you finally have been moving on. However, this new 616 variant catches your attention and Reed does not like that.
(Gif by me đ
)
Most the gifts have my @ marvelsimp tiktok logo except like a few I did post a mini gift set.
(Y/n) (L/n) walked into Reed's lab, being somewhat of a scientist herself, but preferably his assistant during free time. However, not much freedom for extra activities is given to members of the Illuminati. (Y/n) felt like that was a long and complicated story. Which it really wasn't. It started many years ago when her previous lover, Doctor Stephen Strange, had developed an idea of heroes uniting so that when the earth, or universe, needed them they would be there. It consisted of herself, the Phoenix, Charles Xavior, Captain Peggy Carter, Mordo Sorcerer Supreme, Captain Marvel, and Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. She had fought battles alongside each member but never as a collective group. They functioned accordingly and fairly. Earth has been saved countless times against powerful enemies, such as Thanos...A topic (Y/n) avoids.
For the last couple of months, the unofficial couple, Reed and (Y/n), have become close. More time was spent together on short missions and in his lab. They each came out of long-term relationships. Reed and Sue were the ideal couples. Always by each other's side. Worked in sync like Stephen and (Y/n) once had. Yet inside Reed never could fully commit having romantic feelings for (Y/n). After Stephen's death, she became secluded from everyone except Reed.Â
"Mr.Fantastic, odd seeing you here " She called. "How is my favorite scientist?"Â
Reed looked up from his microscope green eyes flickering with excitement seeing (Y/n). He stood up 6'3" frame towering over everyone. "I am doing quite well! Here to assist me once more? With all this time you spend with me people may talk." Reed comments walking over to his desk and sitting the sample disks down. He never was afraid to say what is on his mind. The smartest man in this universe had confidence in himself and his mind.Â
(Y/n) chuckled taking a white lab coat off the hanger. "Let them I have nothing to hide. Unless you are ashamed. Plus with your crazy ex-"Â
"Oh come on. Sue is not crazy may be a regrettable choice to date a teammate. But not crazy. Coworkers should not date- in a way." Reed sighed knowing they both had romantic entanglements with fellow heroes and colleagues. Neither ended well for both parties.Â
"Tell me about it. The last boyfriend I had kinda was murdered."Â
"It wasn't murder he knew the consequences."Â
"He was trying to save the universe Doctor Richards!" (Y/n) argued back.Â
"So it's Doctor Richards now?! We voted on this. The tally was in and we had to do what is necessary."Â
"What? To play God? To act like we are better than everyone else! You betrayed your friend. We all did! Like your friendship meant nothing."Â
"I was the ONLY one who sides with you (Y/n). Shouldn't that mean something? Why don't you go yell at the others about your dead fiancee's problems." Reed sighed his good day ruined.Â
"Whatever. You are always the same Reed. You care only about yourself." She threw her lab coat down and walked off.Â
Reed slowly sat down on his chair. Looking at the papers in front of him. He felt pressure on his chest. Did he just ruin his chances with (Y/n)? "Fuck." Reed said shoving everyone off his desk in angerÂ
°(later that day) °
They had been called together by Mordo in an urgent message about a variant from earth 616 landing on their world. With time to spare before their meeting (Y/n) walked into Christine Palmer's lab to see who the visitor from 616 is. She froze to looking at Stephen Strange- except this one had a goatee. His ocean blue orbs meet her (e/c) spheres.Â
"...(Y/n)?" He whispered walking to the glass. The last time this 616 Stephen saw his (Y/n) she had been knocked through a portal with him.
"Not...your (Y/n)...You are from 616...Are we- a couple on your earth?" She asked gently. So many properties occurred after her Stephen died. To see if in other realities if they were together or who dies first before things could take flight. However, the question seemed idiotic seeing the shining ring on his finger.Â
"2 years now. Married for 1. Here?" He asked looking this (Y/n) over. She backed up and quickly escaped tears streaming down her face. Maybe she needed to sit this one out. 7 long years after her Stephen was taken. It took nearly 5 to look at other men. Reed had been that one exception. Perhaps that is what bothered her. To be in love with Reed Richards. Because 7 years is short right? She felt conflicted about exactly her intentions with pursuing Reed is.Â
Not long passed as this Stephen stood in front of the Illuminati. Facing judgment, once again, the punishment would be death. The moment replayed in their heads as Charles showed what happened to their Doctor Strange.Â
"There had to be another way- we can't - please...please dont do this." (Y/N) begged them. Stephen sat on his knees fingertips black from using the dark hold's magic. It was a selfish want not caring about the other universes he destroyed. All she wanted is him.Â
"This is hard on everyone (Y/n)," Reed comments touching her shoulder but she shoved him back.Â
"We can leave if you want. I and Captain Marvel can-"Â
"Shut up Peggy!"Â
"Please, my love calm down," Stephen whispered (Y/n) slowly walked toward him. "I know what must be done. It's how we keep order...I love you (Y/n) Strange. You are my one and only. I love you...I love you in every universe." He cupped her cheeks giving her a gentle kiss goodbye. "I'll always be by your side. In your heart. You own my love...I wish this didn't have to be so hard. I did it for you. Damn everyone else. In this world and in every universe you are the only person that matters to me."
"Stephen, I won't be able to love again. We can leave and find another universe." She whispered looking into his blue diamond eyes. "We can run-"Â
"I have decided. I chose this fate because it's the only one where you live." He admits. "I will love you forever...I'm sorry my gem." With a passionate kiss that was when the memory ended for you. Stephen had sent you through a portal landing in the sanctum, alone, and without him.Â
(Y/n) took a shaken breath looking at 616 Stephen. He felt pity on you. "They killed you. I won't be here to watch it again." She stood looking at him one last time before walking off. Before she even could make it out the door the alarms went off, every Ultron bot scurrying into. Instantly fire covers her body burning her clothes away and leaving the signature green and gold costume colors with the Phoenix emblem in black across her chest (basically Jean Grays' costume from the comics lol). Emily ran into the lab. Christine looked at her panicked. "Wanda is here to take Chavez. They went to stop her." She adds pointing to the direction where Captain Marvel had blasted Wanda to. (Y/n) nods and flew off landing just in time to stop Wanda. She had began to lift Reed into the air. "WANDA!" (Y/n) yelled and with a ball if energy hit the Scarlet Witch back into several walls.Â
"Reed are you ok?" She asked pulling him close. He nods cupping her face after being moments away from death.Â
"Bolt, Peggy, Charles...she killed them." He whispers.Â
(Y/n) felt a pain shoot in her body, no...all her friends. The people she cared for. The Professor was like a father to her. Her eyes began to glow losing control of her powers. "This isn't our Wanda. 616 is dream walking remember that." He said.Â
"I don't care. She killed my friends and almost you. Plus she is after the girl and 616 Stephen."Â
The fight between a Phenoix and Choatic witch could not he decided who might win. Two forced equally balanced in strength. But mentally Wanda could overpower (Y/n)
"You know I could find a universe where you died." She comments getting up spitting blood out if her mouth. "I could even make you...a little hex of you own. A never ending life with Stephen and kids even." Wanda adds her devils temptation. "Or maybe add Reed...You would like that right?" She asked one step at a time walking closer. "To be with you lover again. Spend the life every variation of yourself has...but you. The unlucky one." (Y/n) was in a trance getting offered an apple from the devil herself. One simple bite and it call could be hers.Â
A voice yelled her, called to her, Reed...Suddenly back to reality she narrowed her eyes. "I think I'm good." (Y/n) blasts Wanda away one more not knowing where. She falls to the ground Reed quickly by her side. Having someone in your head is never pleasant. (Y/n) groaned having a pounding headache. "Did...We win?"Â
Reed sighed, "No. I have no idea...what is going to happen next. Wanda...is powerful. Dangerous. The alarms had stopped perhaps they left." (Y/n) rests her head against Reed's chest. He picks her up taking her to the medical bay. She remembers looking up studying his features. Fluffy brown hair with hints if white on the side, perfectly trimmed beard, plump lips and gorgeous green eyesâŠ
Three days she had been in bed. Resting unable to do much of anything but sleep. A loopy and incoherent time blurry dreams and reality mixed into one. The chaos wielding witch sure did a number in the Phoenix who held back her own strength.Â
"Morning." Reed said looking her over. Each day Reed came by or simply slept in the very uncomfortable chair. "Feeling better?" He asked checking your monitors.Â
"Yeah I feel...more aware of my surroundings." (Y/n) sat up looking to Reed. He smiled unable to remove his eyes from the angel in front of him.Â
"I love you." He blurts out catching (Y/n) off guard. "I mean. I have been in love with you since the battle in New York." He confessed sighing deeply. "I knew Stephen had your heart. For 6 long years I watched you and him. Hell I even got with Sue in hopes to forget about you. No matter what I did I only thought about you! I sides with you because even if I couldn't have you I wanted you to be happy. To know in every universe you two end up together...It was my burden no matter what to always lose you."Â
(Y/n) looked at him before pulling the man into a kiss. She whispered feeling his soft lips around hers. A gentle but passionate need stirred in her stomach. Her gentle hands tangle in his mess if brown locks. "I want youâŠ" She whispersÂ
To Be continue.Â

Cake
a/n: when tipsy meets twitter, all bets are off
hello! I woke up three days ago like Iâd been reborn in my love for this kid, so I wrote this filth đ
iâve posted a few times recently about this video but if you havenât seen it, scroll my blog or search cake lol trust me itâs worth your time.Â
(masterlist is linked in my description)
warnings: 3.9k of absolute filth
Movie night had ended hours ago, giving way to sleepy rideshares and drunken footsteps into the second bedroom. Brian was passed out and snoring in the giant armchair across from you. The Top Gun drinking game had gone wrong at around the eighth high five and completely derailed at the sixth âIceman,â which became a salud of sorts in the room. Beer cans, mango White Claws, and the occasional tequila bottle littered the kitchen island.
âPsst, are you awake?â a toe poked your side from above. Shawn looked down at you with a cocked eyebrow from under his crooked elbow. Youâd taken residence behind his legs, resting your head on his hip to watch the movie, bowing out of getting totally trashed. Your lips were still tingly enough to be dangerous.
âYeah,â you croaked, clearing your throat and stretching, âIâm awake.â
âAre you suuure?â he slurred, tired and tipsy. The smirk was audible, âI thought I felt you drooling through my sweatpants.â His breath came out in a whoosh when you punched him in the abs with your outstretched arm.
âHowâs that for awake, fucker?!â He chuckled and caught at your hand, unfisting your fingers and playing with them as he pulled out his phone. You let him. You even opened your hand fully so he could trace little patterns on your palm.
It had been like this for a few months, the flirting, the touching. A drunken night of 20-somethings playing spin the bottle had ended with multiple people clearing their throats with wide eyes as Shawn kissed you.
My God, he had kissed you. Fingers splayed against your neck, his lips gently interlocked with yours. It started out chaste, just two mouths touching, but as soon as he swiped his tongue across your bottom lip, it was game over. The people, the voices, your friends, all melted away and it was just the two of you. His top lip between yours. Gentle sucking pressure. His body heat radiating onto your skin. It was everything you never knew you wanted. Until Connor clapped Shawn on the shoulder and ripped him away, turning the two of you into human embarrassed laughing emojis.
Since then, it had been like this. His hand on your lower back at the coffee shop, lazy naps together after midday movies, play fighting and fake indignation after one too many shots at the bar. Your friends all shared sideways looks and snide smirks every time you hung out but you hadnât crossed any lines again and you definitely hadnât talked about it. Whatever it was didnât need conversation. It was fun. It was nothing. He was busy. He was a globally-famous popstar. You were normal. The last thing you wanted was one of those embarrassing tabloid articles, â15 Things You Need to Know About Shawn Mendesâs New Fling.â So, in the quiet moments, you let him trace patterns on your palm and send shivers down to your toes.
âHey, come up here, Iâm scrolling Twitter,â he swept his fingers down to your wrist and gave it a tug, a little giddiness in his tone. He made space for you in front of him on the couch, giving you his bicep as a pillow. You settled back against his hard chest and let your legs weave into his. Heâs so goddamn warm. It was a mistake wearing jean shorts to his condo. There was a part of you that wondered if he turned the A/C down on purpose but you didnât want to think about why.
Scrolling Twitter, where Shawn saw the most fan activity, was one of your favorite pastimes. Seeing the reactions to this dude you knew in real life was occasionally shocking, sometimes horrifying, but always amusing. He held the phone out in front of you and thumbed through his feed.
Most of his mentions were about missing him. Heâd been on a break since the end of his last tour, taking some time to himself without a schedule for every minute of every day. For a guy who had been taking photos with fans pretty much everyday for the last seven years, you understood why they might be freaking out. Heâd broken the pattern. Thank God for that.
You tried to keep your eyes from crossing at the repeated âI miss Shawn @shawnmendesâ tweets and the feeling of his alcohol-warmed fingers against your hip. I shouldnât want this.
âWait!â you snapped a finger at his phone, âwhat was that?â
âOh, that?â he scrolled back, âitâs just an old video.â His voice broke a couple octaves on the last bit. The tweet was accompanied by the wide-eyed blushing emoji. Curious. You raised an eyebrow and watched. He was eating a guitar-shaped cake...with his hands. Mouth wide open, his face buried over and over in thick pieces of chocolate cake with some kind of blue frosting on it. It was fucking filthy. You rubbed your thighs together absent-mindedly.
âWhat do the comments say?â You poked at his phone before he could move it away.
âOh, nothing really,â his voice was still high, which meant he knew what the comments likely said. You huffed and grabbed at the phone. âShawn, you know I have Twitter, Iâll see it whether you like it or not!â You rammed your hips backward, pausing for a second when you felt something you werenât expecting, but not for too long. He sucked in a breath, coughing, and dropped his phoneâright into your waiting hands.
âHahaha!â You jumped up and ran to the other side of the big white couch, kicking your legs in victory, âI win!â He tripped over his own oversized limbs before he got to you, falling to the floor within reach of your feet. He reached out and pulled your legs toward him, framing his face between your thighs. Your giggles stopped short and your face flamed.
âCan you assholes get a room?!â Brian was awake and fussing at the thin fleece blanket heâd scrounged off the back of the couch. He rolled over mumbling something that sounded like just fucking fuck already but you were too busy thinking about Shawnâs head still between your legs to be bothered by it.
Shawn slowly lifted his finger to his lips in the universal sign to be quiet and untangled himself to stand. He reached out a hand and you didnât hesitate to grab it, leading you to his bedroom down the hall. You held his phone in a death grip, unwilling to let go in case he caught you off guard.
The room was dark, save for his phone, the rectangle reflecting a solid white off the wall of glass facing the city. The CN Tower lights flickered in the late night sky, seemingly suspended in midair. His unmade  bed was the biggest and brightest thing in the room. A white comforter hung half on the floor at an odd angle off the corner of the mattress, his white sheets completely exposed. The pillows were all scrunched up at the headboard, like heâd been kicking and pushing all night long. Like he hadnât slept soundly in weeks.
âOkay, so what youâre about to readâŠâ he shut the door behind him, scrubbing at the back of his neck, âitâs gonna be weird, but like itâs fine Iâm used to it. Theyâre...a little invasive.â Weird? Invasive? Curiouser and curiouserâŠ
You walked over to his bed, picking up the comforter and tossing it haphazardly back onto the bed, and sat on the edge staring at the video and letting it play a few more times. Then you swiped down.
@canadianmendussy: ALEXA PLAY BIRTHDAY CAKE BY RIHANNAAAAA
@perfectlyru1n: oh my goD does he really go down like thAT?!
âOh...my God,â you covered your mouth to keep from laughing, âyouâve seen this before?â
He bounced on the mattress facedown, mumbling something into the sheets.
âWhat was that?â you asked, with Southern sweet tea levels of sugar. You ruffled his hair, brushing through his curls. He turned his head, his face flushed with more than just alcohol.
âI said yes, Iâve seen it beforeâŠâ he opened one eye and looked up at you, âI usually just ignore them.â
There were over 400 replies on this tweet, some people chiding the horny stans for posting something Shawn can see, others just piling on.
@illuminateruin: is that cake gluten-free?
@kidinlover: @illuminateruin idk but I know pussy is
@particularbenito: CAN HE EAT PUSSY LIKE THAT?!?!?!
âCan he eat pussy like that...â you read out loud under your breath, your mind conjuring up that image of his face between your thighs. Shawnâs head shot up, eyes wide.
âWhat???â His face was practically magenta at this point, âis that a serious question??â
âWhat? Uhh, no. Not serious. A reply actually,â you rushed, giving him a sideways look. I mean...maybe it was a serious question? The curiosity was going to kill you. Oh, no. No, no, no. Your lips tingled.
âWell, I meanâŠ.can you?â You could hear the glint in your eye.
Fuck it all.
âCan IâŠ.w-what?â he stuttered, the air crackling between the two of you. He looked like a cornered animal, like the wrong move would get him killed.
âCan you,â you pushed a loose curl out of his face and nodded toward his phone, âeat pussy like that?â
Oh, God, did I just�
âIâve never gotten any complaints,â your head popped up at his self-satisfied tone. Gone was the red-faced shy boy talking about embarrassing fans. The Shawn in front of you was...confident. Hungry. His fingers grazed your ankles resting beside him. It didnât escape your notice. You shivered.
It wasnât cold.
âM-maybe they were just too afraid to tell a big, famous rockstar that he sucked,â you were the one stuttering now, face heating by the second.
âOh, sucking was definitely part of it,â his fingers traced the indent in your calf. You refused to pull away even though you should, even though part of youâa small, shrinking partâknew that if this went where it was definitely going, things were going to change. You snuck a finger under his chin to pull his gaze to yours.
âIs that a promise?â
âI donât know,â he flashed a toothy smile, gravity and sheer force of will pulling his body toward yours, âis that an invitation?â
Iâm probably gonna regret this in the morning.
Your lips crashed into his, giving him your answer. His mouth was hot, his breathing heavy. Tongues and teeth and lips wrestled together, refusing to part while he made his way above you, crawling on hands and knees between your legs as you settled against the pillows. He licked up into your mouth just before nibbling on your bottom lip, forcing a moan from deep inside you. This was primal, the need you felt with him. Like once you came together, nothing could break you apart.
His hands moved up your body, scratching gently at your exposed legs and slipping beneath your hoodie. He broke away from your lips to shuck off your top and expose all your delicate skin. His fingers slipped beneath your lace bralette and he played with the tiny clasp between your breasts.
âIs this okay?â he asked, a little out of breath, his thin t-shirt pressing against your skin.
You nodded so quickly you thought your neck might snap. He popped the clasp and spread his calloused hands across your chest. The friction was glorious. Your body chased his fingers involuntarily, bowing up off the high thread count sheets.
âBe still, baby,â he whispered, dipping his head and placing an open mouthed kiss just above your belly button. Your eyes rolled back at the pet name, another moan escaping your lips. Warmth rushed between your legs.
âShawn,â you gasped, trying to control your breathing so he didnât know just how fucked you were, âwhen I gave you an invitation, I didnât expect you to be late to the party.â You rocked your hips up into his chest pointedly.
âWell, I can't just jump to the entrĂ©e, can I?â He fiddled with the button on your denim shorts, loosening it with a little pop. Teasing, he licked at a freckle just above your hip before sucking at it with enough force to leave a mark.
âFuck!â Your hands shot down to his mop of curls, fingers buried in the thick locks. He pulled and nibbled at that spot over and over, all while grazing his fingers just beneath the waistband of your simple cotton cheeky panties.
When he pulled away, an angry red violet half-moon colored the skin. He took one last lick, smiling at your gasp in response.
âI love that sound,â he sat back on his heels between your legs, looking down at your heaving chest.
âIâll make it again if you take that shirt off,â you reached for him with grabby hands, trying to Harry Potter that shit. He laughed and did the boy thing, grabbing his shirt at the back of his neck before tugging it forward off his body.
The gasp came again. Not even on purpose or because youâs promised him, but because he was so stupid gorgeous in the low light of the city you couldnât help yourself. Youâd seen him in hot tubs and at sweaty summer parties and in those fucking Calvin Klein pictures, but none of that compared to having him shirtless between your thighs just a few inches from your outstretched fingers.
His chest was flushed, some combination of adrenaline and alcohol. Little freckles dotted his lightly tanned skin all the way up his torso to the dusting of chest hair that colored his chest. His perfect pink nipples were hard against the cool air of the room, begging for you to touch or kiss or bite. Or all of the above. You reached out to trace his appendix scar where it peaked out of his low-slung sweatpants. His body danced away from you as he caught at your hand.
âDonât,â he growled, weaving his fingers between yours and pressing his lips onto the back of your palm like a fucking Victorian gentleman. Like he wasnât staring down at your hardening nipples thinking about how good they would feel pinched warm between his fingers. He tipped forward, bracing himself against the mattress, his mouth just a few centimeters from your skin. Dragging flesh against flesh, he left kisses at random in the valley between your breasts. Moving farther and farther down your body, he paused, sitting up on his heels.
âAre you sure?â He was breathing heavy, looking straight through you, both hands hovering around the edges of your shorts. You were nodding before he even finished his question.
He curled his fingers around all the fabric in his way, denim and cotton both, and dragged the offending pieces of clothing down your legs, lifting them off and tossing them against the wall across the room. You breathed steady, looking at him looking at you. His mouth hung open in speechless wonder.
âYouâre fucking beautiful,â he whispered, settling back between your thighs, a mirror of his earlier pose on the couch. Another wave of heat rushed straight to your clit, silently screaming for him.
âI know,â you brushed through his curls, giving him a suggestive grin when he looked up at you, âI taste good too.â
That was all the permission he needed. A second later, he buried his face between your legs, nudging your knees over his shoulders. His tongue swirled in circles around your clit finishing in random flicks. He moaned into you, his lips closing around your swollen folds with gently sucking pressure.
âShit, Shawn!â you shouted, praying to the gods that everyone still in the condo was too drunk and passed out to hear you. The white sheets bunched in your fists, arms spread wide. Your thighs clamped down against his ears.
He continued his licks and flicks, snaking his hands up your legs and gently prying your legs apart. You clenched hard as he pinned your thighs to the mattress, holding you open with his forearms. Filthy sounds echoed off the walls, wet sucking, moaning from both of you. He dipped his chin and circled your entrance with his tongue, lapping at you.
âChrist!â your hands shot into his damp curls. He was working hard down there, flexing and moaning and fighting your spasms. You looked down and saw his hips impatiently rutting into the mattress. It only made you wetter, gushing onto his waiting tongue. He drank everything you gave him.
âHeâs not here,â he said in a low and gravelly voice, a little breathless. He pulled back, the bottom half of his face shining in the dark. His fingers toyed with your sensitive, wet lips, watching as you twitched and trembled, so close to the edge. A firm circle around your clit had your back bowing, contorting backward off the bed. A single tear rolled down your temple.
âIâm so close,â you panted, trapping his outstretched hand against your skin.
âShawn, I need you.â
âNeed me?â His fingers paused, âneed me where?â
âOh, God, donât stop,â you choked out, a sob threatening. Your back arched up off the sheets again to find friction. âI need...I need you inside me.â
At some point between your words and the needy moan that followed, heâd removed his sweatpants and a black pair of Calvins. You heard him rustling his hand inside the bedside table followed by the metallic sound of foil and the sharp scent of latex. Thank fuck heâs prepared.
When he dropped down onto his forearms, hovering an inch from where you needed him, you were dripping onto the sheets, grinding down into the mattress waiting desperately for him. He ran his nose over your collarbone, peppering kisses along your neck. It was slow and deliberate. A fucking tease.
âShawn,â you pulled his face up to yours, all squished between your hands, âif you donât fuck me right now, I swear I willâŠâ
He pressed inside to the hilt in one swift motion, cutting off your threat.
âWhat are you swearing to do, princess?â he asked, a smirk and a fire in his eyes. The moan that escaped you in response was embarrassingly loud. He stilled and closed his eyes, allowing you to adjust. You took even breaths, relaxing into his hips, holding on to his shoulders for dear life. His cock was perfect. He was perfect.
I am so fucked.
He moved, slowly at first, stroking all the right places. When his hips separated from yours, pulling almost all the way out, he rutted back inside. It was deep, long thrusts touching some place inside you werenât sure you knew was there. Your head thrashed against the pillows. Your grip on his shoulders turned sharp, clawing long red-raw marks into his pale skin.
âIâm not gonna last long,â he hissed into your ear, âfuck, youâre so tight.â His abs scraped against your body like a washboard, the tension clear in his muscles. He was wound up, ready to shatter. He crashed into you, repeatedly slapping skin against skin. His fingers found your clit, rubbing tight, slow circles in contrast with the punishing rhythm of his hips. He lifted one of your legs over his hip to change the angle, to make you even tighter around him. A bead of salty-sweet sweat dropped from his chest into your mouth.
âRight...there,â you groaned, your eyes rolling back, âIâm gonna come!â
âThatâs right, honey,â he grunted, flattening his fingers across your clit with intense pressure, âcome for me.â
The room went white. The sound of your hips colliding was replaced with a high-pitched ring. Your world seemed to implode, your muscles moving independently. He wrapped his arms around your middle and held you as he fucked you through the waves, his weight the only thing keeping you from being swept away in the current.
âStay here with me,â he cooed, sweet but taut in his throat. Your heart slammed against your ribs in rhythm with his hips. He grunted once, twice, three times with his final thrusts and came undone, pumping into the condom. Biting down on your shoulder to stifle his sounds, he sucked hard enough to leave an angry mark. You contracted around him, both inside and out, curling around his thighs and back and neck, letting the full weight of his completely spent body bring you back to full consciousness.
âHey,â you fingered his frizzed and fucked curls, âShawn?â
âHmm?â he nuzzled into your hands and squeezed you a little tighter.
âYouâre crushing me,â you exhaled, strained.
âOh, fuck! Iâm sorry!â
He shifted to his side, accidentally pulling out too quickly, making both of you wince.
âShit, shit, Iâm so sorry,â he was so cute when he was scrambling. He got up and threw out the used condom, quickly returning from the adjoining bathroom with a damp cloth.
âCome here,â he held his arms out, making a perfect you-sized place in front of him. You slid into it easily and let him press the cloth between your legs, wincing again.
âDid I hurt you?â There was so much concern in his voice.
âNo, no, I justâŠâ you held onto his arm, glad to be facing away, âI havenât been fucked like that in awhile.â
âGlad to be of service.â You didnât have to be looking at him to see his smug smile. Reaching back, you slapped his thigh in retaliation. He caught your hand and kissed it like a Victorian gentleman again, like it made up for his cockiness. You tried to convince yourself that it didnât, flushing even harder than your just-fucked body should have allowed. He wrapped his arm around your front and intertwined your legs, snuggling his face into the nape of your neck.
âSo, uhhh, are we gonna do this again?â he asked, barely concealing the hope in his voice.
âShhh,â you said, yawning for effect, âweâll talk about it in the morning. Just sleep.â
He exhaled against your back, placing one last kiss on the mark you were sure heâd left in the midst of his orgasm. You stared out into the Toronto skyline as his breathing evened, his quiet snores barely audible against the screaming voices in your head. As the light crept into the room, as morning dawned on your sleepless night, you repeated his question over and over again.
Are we gonna do this again?
There was an easy answer: yes. Yes, yes, yes, my God, yes you were going to do this again. But there was another, harder question to answer beneath it. If we do this again, will we ever be able to stop?

Paint My Spirit Gold
Dukeceit Week Day 2: Green/Yellow
Fans of the YouTubers "Deceit" and Remus "The Duke" Sanders start to suspect that maybe, just maybe, the two of them are more than simple internet pals.
AO3 Link: [here]
Word Count: 2187
Warnings: n/a

[ID: A screenshot of a Twitter post by user @CallMeDukie. It features a watercolor-style painting of a snake. The snake appears to be made of melting chocolate, and there is a large bite taken out of its tail. Cherries and jam are leaking out of the snake at the bite wound. The snake's expression of horror is overly-exaggerated to the point of comedy. The caption reads: "liked your snake boi, @SerpenThyme. thanks for the inspo." /end ID]

A notification ding cut Janus off mid-sentence.Â
âWow, someone left their cell phone on, so professional,â he said, giving the camera a dramatic eye roll. That someone was him, of course, because he was the only one in the apartment- just him and the running livestream- but that was no excuse not to be a drama queen about it. He finished wiping flour off his hands and grabbed his phone to silence it; but the notification made him pause. He flicked his eyes up toward the camera and gave a slight smirk.
âMy goodness, Iâm famous,â he drawled. âThe Duke himself has graced little old me with some fan art.â
Most of the comments in the chat wanted him to show it, so Janus opened up Twitter to see the full post heâd been tagged in. It was a watercolor painting of the coiled-snake chocolate sculpture- lovingly named Jake by his viewers- heâd made for his YouTube video last week; it was wearing an expression of such comedic horror that Janus had to stifle a laugh. He flicked his phone screen toward the close-up camera on his counter so his viewers could see.
âHow kind of you, Remus,â he said. âAll of you should go scold him for what heâs done to poor Jake here.â
Most of his viewers would know he was joking- after all, they were the ones to nickname him Deceit when he provided neither a real or fake name for his online persona. They knew full well what he was like by now.
The oven timer dinged. Janus silenced his phone and set it aside.
âAnd our first batch of cookies is done. You know, why donât we show the Duke some appreciation?â

Propped up against the stack is another cookie, with an intricate icing-drawing of an octopus. The photo appears to have been color corrected to have high contrast, low saturation, and a dark vignette at the edges. The Instagram user @OctoDukie is tagged. No caption. /end ID]

âYou know, I have often been accused of actually being a little old lady, what with my fondness for knitted jumpers, rocking chairs, and incredibly fucked up murder mystery books. Today I am doing nothing to dispel this accusation, by making soup.â
The studio was dark and empty aside from Remus' workspace. Everyone else had left long ago, even his own brother, which meant that it was officially ass-o'clock in the morning (or, as most people called it, somewhere between 1 and 2 a.m.) But Remus was stuck in hyperfocus, honed in on putting the last touches on a commission that he'd been putting off for weeks. It's not that it was a tough painting- once he'd gotten started, it was actually a very creatively satisfying piece- but man, executive dysfunction could go suck a dick
âFrench onion soup, specifically. Because while I do like to pretend I am a classy bitch, I am also, regrettably, a lazy bitch with a distaste for anything that takes longer than one bottle of wine to make.â
Remus hated working in silence. It was stifling, almost suffocating. His brain needed noise like his lungs needed air. So when the studio had grown still and silent, Remus had flipped open his laptop and queued up some YouTube videos.Â
âSo we have here three pounds of onions that we need to slice up, pole to pole. Youâre going to cry no matter what, so if you have any memories youâve been repressing since middle school, now is an excellent time to dredge those up.âÂ
And if it happened to be 90% SerpenThyme videos, well. Sue him.Â
âNow the first rule of caramelizing onions: fast and sloppy is always better than slow and thorough⊠at least, thatâs what every man Iâve ever slept with tells me.â
Remus choked and glanced over to his laptop screen just in time to catch Deceit's trademark smirk directed at the audience just for a moment. It was the deadpan delivery that always got him. Remus could barely hold onto a joke long enough to get through it without cackling mid-punchline, but this fucker could say the funniest shit like an off-hand comment.Â
He wiped his hands off on his jeans (what use were clothes if you couldn't use them as paint rags?) and pulled his laptop across the table. He typed out a quick comment, citing the timestamp of the joke, and after it was posted, he shut his laptop.Â
'Cause ass-o'clock was short for "get-your-ass-home-or-Iâll-kick-it" o'clock.Â

Janus plopped down on the couch with a slight groan. He didnât need to stream today, but he really hated missing days. Besides⊠he was fine. Really.Â
He adjusted the camera until he was happy with the framing, and then checked the settings on his streaming software. Satisfied, he started the stream, and watched as his usual viewers rolled in.Â
âWhat do you mean Iâm not in my kitchen?â Janus drawled, addressing the chat. He glanced around with an expression of faux-shock on his face. âMy goodness, when did that happen?â
He chuckled, and then gestured to his surroundings. âYes, we are in my living room today. If you must know, my closest and most trusted friend tried to murder me today- yes, Virgil, it was attempted murder and nothing less- and I survived with nary a scratch⊠and a broken foot, but that is beside the point. Anyway, Iâm not allowed to stand for long periods of time, and I may or may not be somewhat inebriated by pain pills and couldnât stand even if I wanted to. So we are cooking from my couch today.â
Janus paused for a few moments to read the chat messages as they popped up. A few get well soonâs, a few theories about the âattempted murder,â Virgil- who moderated his chat for him- vehemently denying the âattempted murderâ but otherwise refusing to clarify the event, and a large volume of wtf why are you streaming today, take care of yourself comments, which made him smile. But one particular comment caught his eye, almost lost amid the torrent of an active chat: wait this kinda looks like the Dukeâs living room?
âOh, VampSuga,â he said, addressing that commenter in particular with a slight smirk. âI havenât the faintest idea what youâre talking about. Anyway, since I canât reach my oven from here, I thought some no-bake cookies were in order. For these you will need-â

[ID: A screenshot of a Discord conversation. The text reads:
âVampSuga: Ok ok hear me out. Dukeceit.Â
Starstruck96: who?
IneffableSnek: lmao
FeralBeauYasha: lol
VampSuga: Deceit and Remus Sanders! Theyâre totally dating. I will die on this hill.Â

FeralBeauYasha: ohh
VampSuga: Did anyone see Deceitâs stream today? I swear thatâs the Dukeâs livingroom.Â
StarStruck96: idk that seems like a stretch
IneffableSnek: no wait i kno what u mean
IneffableSnek: im watching the dukeâs old videos and that one where he shows off all his old weapons heâs in a living room kinda like deceitâsÂ
FeralBeauYasha: They were acting all cute on twitter too

"Hey guys, been a while since you've seen my face and not just whatever my hands are busy with, when it's within YouTube's terms and conditions I mean. They used to be way more lenientâŠ" Remus trailed off for a moment, then shook his head sharply and plastered on a grin.Â
"Anyway! In June me and a few other creators did a fundraiser for the Trevor Project, and y'all smashed the goal, so I let you decide what video I'd make this month." He paused, and gestured to the mountain of clothes piled behind him on the bed. "And you had so many juicy ideas to choose from, but you decided to dress me up like a Barbie instead."
Remus paused to scroll through his phone for a few moments. "Ah, ok, here we go. Twitter user YoonIsMyCat- oh, BTS, nice- sent in this first outfit. Uh⊠future Remus, put up the post here somewhere." He gestured vaguely to his right. "Y'all went with either a fuckton more clothes or a fuckton less clothes, which I respect. Apparently this outfit is calledâŠâ He squinted at his phone. âAmish chic? I take it back, no respect at all.â
Remus cycled through the outfits his viewers sent in, which ranged from the aforementioned âAmish chicâ to â2008 rave attireâ to âok now you guys are just fucking with meâ (which consisted of one of those big puffy snow coats, lime green in color; booty shorts with the shrug text emoji across the ass; fuzzy pink boots; and a yellow cowboy hat to top off the whole thing. It was awful. Remus loved it.) The mountain of clothes on the bed gradually became a mess of clothes spread across the floor instead, until there was just one outfit left.Â
âOk so Twitter user VampSuga sent me this outfit that Iâm gonna call âsexy librarian.â I couldnât find this exact sweater online, but-â he paused for dramatic effect, before brandishing a sweater toward the camera like a bullfighter. âMy boyfriend had something that was close enough.â
Remus hopped up from the bed and switched off the camera so he could change.
âTheyâre going to lose their minds,â a voice drawled from the doorway. Remus threw his shirt at him.
âShoo, Iâm getting naked.â

[ID: A series of three gifs featuring Youtubers SerpenThyme, aka Deceit, and TheDuke, aka Remus Sanders. Deceit is a black man with long, dreadlocked hair, and vitiligo patches along the left side of his face. Remus is a Hispanic man with green-dyed hair styled into a mohawk, many ear and facial piercings, and tattoos covering both arms. Each gif is edited so that the highlights are tinged yellow when Deceit is seen, and tinged green when Remus is seen.
The first gif depicts a close-up shot of Deceitâs hands as he carefully decorates a cookie with green and yellow icing. The cookie art he is working on appears to be a half-finished octopus. The gif then fades into a mid-shot of Remus, with his back to the camera, facing a canvas. The canvas is blank, and Remus appears to be laying out paints on a table to his left.Â
The second gif depicts Deceit seated at his couch, facing the camera. He has many ingredients spread across his coffee table (including oats, cocoa powder, and butter) and appears to be in the process of laying out several more. The gif fades to show Remus seated at a similar couch with a similar coffee table in front of him. The camera is angled slightly downward to better show the myriad of knives spread out across the table. Remus is gesturing wildly with a morning star held in his hand.Â
The third gif depicts Deceit in his kitchen. He is pulling on a bright, yellow knitted cardigan, and smirking toward the camera. The gif fades to show Remus in his bedroom, seated on his bed. He is holding up a similar-looking cardigan toward the camera and grinning. /end ID]

âRemus, itâs almost two in the morning. Come to bed.â
âIâm coming, sorry. Twitter distracted me.â
âMm. I canât believe the bird app is more distracting than I am.â
âYou should try harder.â
âCome to bed and maybe I will.â
âOk, ok, Iâm coming. Hang on though, is it cool if I post this?â
âSure. They figured it out anyway.â
âSweet. Ok, Jannie, Iâm coming.â

Yandere prompts
Warnings!:
Obsessive behavior
Death (minor characters)
Stalking
đȘDabiđ
   âIâve told you more than once, doll, running away is pointless.â
    That voice, (F/n) knows it all too well. Itâs haunted her nightmares for months, enveloped her in fear day after day before she made the daring escape when she saw the chance. The gruff, deep voice laced with danger she knows better than anyone, a danger sheâs seen first hand when sheâs tried to escape before.
    His footsteps echo in the hall of hospital she came to to get help, which he was quick to scorch all that came in his way after entering without a care. His boots snap glass from shattered windows beneath his heels and his steps are slow and purposeful, all she can hear over the pounding in her ears. It was like he knew where sheâd go, or he followed her, giving her that sense of false freedom she thought sheâd finally gotten when in reality he watched her every movement showing she's still apart of his twisted game. (F/n) knows she shouldâve been more wary or careful. She was in such a rush to escape with the sliver of a chance she had in the palm of her hands that she didnât consider the man that always seemed to be ahead of everyone else would know exactly what his doll was up to. Heâs toyed with her before, and this was no different, only now... Now there are at least a dozen or so burnt corpses in the hall and other hospital rooms, the place is charred in certain areas while others remain lit up in blue. The hospital is eerily silent aside for the raven haired villain stalking the halls.
    (F/n) hides in a room he has yet to reach and inspect. Sheâs tucked herself into a ball behind the bed and tries to keep her head low while watching under it, her sights on the door across the room. She can see the flicker of azure light and she trembles as he comes closer and closer to her hiding place. She can hear him check every room he passes, the screams of those heâs killed having died forever ago, anyone still alive is hopefully hiding well.
    She freezes when he makes it to her room and the door creaks open; his boots are what (F/n) sees first as well as the shins of his pant legs and the ends of his overcoat. He casually walks in, probably with his hands stuffed in his pockets and looking aloof as always. Her heart thunders, she knows heâll find her in these last few seconds, and as tears roll down her cheeks she stops following his boots as he checks the room before making his way to the bed. She knows he can see her when he stops and she can almost hear the smirk as he says,âThere you are, I expected to be looking all over but you made it pretty easy. How boring.~â
    Slowly her (eye color) orbs lift and she goes pale; his grinning but that along with his eyes look... unhinged. His glowing blue orbs are more intense than usual, and underneath how âhappyâ he appears to be that he found her she can see the underlying rage and possessiveness sheâs come to recognize in the months sheâs been able to study her kidnapper. Heâs pissed, his scars smoking and the villain walking closer. Immediately she jolts up into a sit and backs away scooting against the corner of the wall and shaking her head, sobbing,âI-Iâm sorry, please-!â
    Sheâs interrupted when her jaw is grabbed and sheâs forced to look up at the now kneeling man. His hypnotizing azure eyes capture hers in a terrifying stare and he brings his face close as he breathes,âThen stop running away if youâre so sorry. How many times do I gotta tell you... Give everything to me, and Iâll make you the happiest person alive.â
    She whimpers and he chuckles coldly, kissing her softly but possessively before pulling back so their lips are only a few inches apart. âNow, are you gonna be a good girl and stay put from now on, or do you want to be the reason more people die?â
    She furiously nods, this being hard with the harsh grip he has on her jawline. The villain grins, but demands,âSay it.â
   âI-Iâll... Be good, Dabi...â
    Thatâs all he needs before he places a rough kiss on her then stands with her in tow. (F/n) is thrown over his shoulder after he wraps her hand and ankles in binds he finds as well as muffles her with a cloth. The two leave the scene just as authorities are rushing inside, leaving only carnage behind but no way to follow Dabiâs tracks as he heads home with his (F/n).
đȘHawksđ
      Nothing could prepare (F/n) for finding out what her boss has been trying to hide from everyone. A man whose image is important to him, finding out heâs been stalking her was something she would have never believed had she not found the evidence with her own eyes.
      (F/n) has been with Hawksâ agency for a little over a year now as a secretary, and itâs been one of the best jobs sheâs ever had. Not only is she paid well the benefits are a bonus and her boss is, well, the #2 hero himself! Someone laid back and nice, he seems fairly understanding when it comes to his employees.
      Over her time working there she also made, at least in her mind, friends with the big name hero himself. Work friends is how sheâd put it, but more than once heâs text her outside of work, posted pictures of selfies with her, and even taken her home when she has had no ride. To her itâs all a bit different from what sheâd expect of a hero being her boss, but it is Hawks after all, who wouldnât take this chance with open arms?
      The last couple of months, though, things have been.... Weird. He seems to be flirty with her, somehow making it both sly but also very obvious what heâs insinuating. He seems to brush his hand against hers or gets rather close when sheâs showing him something, and heâs asked if she wants to go to dinner more than once (every time sheâs kindly declined.) While thatâs all a bit odd enough she has felt like sheâs been being watched, like she canât keep her curtains open without the cold feeling of intense eyes staring at her as she tries to sleep. Amongst this sheâs noticed her window open a crack when she gets home when she knows it was shut before she left, some things seem out of place or missing, and little gifts left on her bed or dresser that are definitely expensive and were definitely not there before. Each time sheâs about to catch the person they seem to get away...
      But she has caught the glimpse of wings before, one time when sheâd been walking home late from shopping and seen them fly away from her window. Her heart pounded, and she almost wondered... No, there was no way...
      That morning (F/n) came in and asking Hawks if he was busy and if they could talk the hero hummed,âOh, anything wrong?â Her mind was whirling, how could it be Hawks? Heâs a good guy, why would he stalk her and break into her home?Â
    âI, um... Just wanted to take you up on an offer for dinner, if youâre free,â she replies after a few moments of contemplating this plan out. A voice is telling her this is a bad idea, but the other side of her thoughts is telling her that itâll all be unfounded suspicions and that Hawks isnât involved. Sheâs brought out of her thoughts when he replied,âOhhh, finally ready to go out with me, huh?~â He winked, which made her look surprised; âGo outâ? Granted, itâs been obvious heâs meant for the dinner plans to be dates.
      âUh, yeah, I just was hoping to talk about something with you, not really a date,â she tried to clear it up, waving her hands in front of her. That should still be fine right? For a moment she saw something flash in his eyes as his grin dropped, but it was gone as soon as it came as the bird hero returned the lazy smile and simply replied,âOf course, meet me after work and weâll go.â
      (F/n) never expected this to be the worst decision she could have made; While she met the #2 after work as requested and they flew to a location, something seemed off about his demeanor. He seemed to hide something under the grins heâs displaying, and his eyes intently watched her. Dinner went smoothly, but she struggled to find the right ways to ask her questions so she simply brought up the âstalking situationâ sheâd been having to gauge his reaction. He feigned shock and anger, but she wasnât blind; the way his eyes flashed again with something dark and rather scary sent chills down the young womanâs spine.Â
    âThatâs unfortunate, maybe Iâll look into it for you, see if thereâs anything I can find out,â he tried to act sincere in concern, but (F/n) can only feel off. He seemed more concerned in learning more about her diverting away from the stalking, too. Getting an idea sheâd go to mention something about herself and he seemed to answer for her, saying something she knew heâd have no way of knowing normally since it was personal or only one or two people knew. Excusing herself to the bathroom the secretary stared in the mirror trying to calm her nerves. âIt has to be him... I think I should go.âÂ
      Coming back out (F/n) told him it was late and she needed to head home Hawks seemed sad for a moment, and sitting while they wait on the waiter to come back with Hawksâ credit card Hawks seemed to watch her, staring. It was uncomfortable, and (F/n) tried to avoid his golden orbs as much as possible as she finished her drink. It tasted strange, and she blinked confused, looking into the last little drops inside while Hawks started to say,âYou know, I thought you seemed pretty smart the moment I met you in your interview... But I never thought youâd actually catch on.â She freezed and looked at him with wide eyes, catching how his eyes narrow and he smiles, placing his chin on his palm. âI thought you mightâve seen me that one night too, guess I slipped up, huh?â He sounded laid back like always, but something about his words sent a chill through her. She tried to get up and run out, but her head felt dizzy and she collapsed back into the seat.Â
    âNow, now, chick, donât want to hurt yourself, do ya? Here, letâs get you home,â his voice ringed in her ears but everything started to suddenly go hazy and sheâs lifted into his arms. The waiter came back, and Hawks smiled at him saying charmingly,âThanks, sheâs alright, just feeling a little under the weather.â He took the card, slipping it into his pocket before the two left, (F/n) going unconscious during flight.Â
      When (F/n) wakes up she's somewhere unfamiliar on a soft, plush bed covered by silk sheets. The room is dark but she sees light under a doorway when her vision returns to normal. Her heart pounds in fear and she as quickly as possible gets up and leaves the room, her head still hazy. Itâs dark outside, and despite the lights being on she appears to be alone in the house before hearing someone showering. Remembering what happened sometime earlier she panics knowing exactly who it is. Trying to move around the penthouse without making noise is difficult when her legs feel like jello, but she finds the entrance... Only to discover itâs locked. Sheâs ready to unlock it, but gasps when something red flashes past her. One of Hawksâ feathers, and it shoots at her again, cutting her along the arm as she whimpers and rushes away from the door in fear. There has to be someway out, right? Or someway to lose the feather!Â
    Finding another door she throws it open only to freeze; itâs an office, which seems normal for a place like this, but the pictures around the room are definitely anything but normal. Theyâre all of her, in different places, situations, some of her unclothed and some while sheâs out with friends or at work. Sheâs frozen, ice cold as her breath picks up. On the desk are different objects sheâs found have gone missing like special pictures of she and her family or a perfume she has put on before. She doesnât even hear Hawks sneak up on her before two strong arms wrap around her as well as his large, crimson wings enveloping them both. (F/n) starts to cry, not sure what to say as he whispers to her,âYou kept rejecting me for so long, I couldnât stand it... What other choice did I have?â
      She pulls out of his grip, or tries to, but his wings keep her entrapped and close as she asks shakily,âYou... Why....âÂ
    âBecause I love you,â he starts, smiling like this is all normal, like his confession isnât seen as insane,âbecause what else was I supposed to do? Here, youâll be safe, you can have anything you want, you wonât have to lift a finger! All you have to do is...â He cups her face in his hands and brings his own close, staring into her (eye color) eyes and saying,âGive everything to me, and Iâll make you the happiest person alive.â He looks unhinged, and sheâs shaking. Hawks finishes,âNow, how about we get you back to bed, pigeon?~â
      Her suspicions were right, but now thatâs meaningless as she becomes the bird trapped in his cage.
(WHELP those were both a lot longer than expected, but I was having fun so I hope you enjoy!)

Choosing Fate: Chapter 1
SUMMARY:Â Sakuraâs peaceful life is disrupted when she learns of her imminent marriage to Sasuke, the handsome boy she had only ever seen at the public market. Arranged marriage AU. Rated M.
A/N:Â I love a good arranged marriage AU, but I feel like all of the ones Iâve read are powerful political/royal types of things? So I wanted to write one about normal people because thatâs of course more common and somewhat related to my own family history and ~normal~ ss is always good Also no major specifics because Iâm a lazy researcher and Iâll leave it open to readers. Just know itâs set in the Past lol and in a literal village none of that built up Konoha shit
.
.
Like a good and dutiful son, Sasuke accepted the news that he was to be betrothed soon with a simple bow of his head. It had happened to his brother years ago, it was bound to be his time soon too. He would respect his parentsâ choice. Itâs all he really could do. Itachi and Izumi were having trouble conceiving a child, but the Uchiha bloodline needed to be continued.
Even if he wasnât particularly interested in getting married, he wondered what kind of girl she would be. Was it someone he knew? Was she smart? What did she look like?
But after delivering the news, his father began eating and there was no more conversation for the rest of dinner.
.
Girlhood. Short lived and usually more bitter than sweet. Her family was poor, but Sakura had a decent life, and she was grateful. But like any selfish teenager, there were things she still yearned for. She daydreamed of a handsome, kind husband sweeping her off her feet and she hoped for a big house where she didnât have to feel like her mere existence was taking up too much space.
So when her parents sighed before eating dinner and said she was to be betrothed soon, her world simultaneously collapsed and expanded.
She couldnât help the tears from slipping out and her voice cracked when she asked, âDoes that mean I have to stop going to school?â
Her parents nodded, knowing how much her education meant to her. Her siblings had just gotten old enough to allow Sakura some relief and the time to attend school again. But it simply wasnât possible to fulfill the duties expected of a wife and attend school at the same time.
Sakura continued eating her dinner at the table but she didnât chatter away like she normally did. She looked longingly at her youngest sister, Moegi, so innocent and carefree. She wondered if Ino would be allowed to stay longer than Sakura had. When would Naruto get married? Sakura would soon be living with a new person, a new family â and there was nothing she could do. Her parents couldnât manage her and her siblings for much longer. As the oldest daughter, it was her time.
Mebukiâs secrecy made Sakura feel even more on edge. She was itching to know at least one small detail about her future husband, but for some reason her mother would not budge. Sakura wondered if she was doing it to save her.
Sakura wallowed in her own misery the entire trip to the meeting place, imagining him to be horrible, ugly, poor, cruel, childish. Gone were her silly dreams of a romantic marriage of choice. She knew no one would ever come to save her. Maybe if she hated him enough, he would just disappear.
So when she was faced with Uchiha Sasuke as her future husband, she was pleasantly surprised. Theyâd hardly ever spoken, but at least he was easy on the eyes, even if he wore a frozen mask of indifference.
Sasuke tried not to let his reaction show on his face. He knew Sakura was younger than he was, there was no way she was ready for marriage! Why did his parents make such a decision?
He got his answer soon, as their parents wasted no time and began relaying the exact details of their betrothal:
They would be married in six months time. The Uchihas were more well-off than the Harunos and they would bring Sakura into their household. Fugaku knew of Kizashi as a respectable farmer and found Sakura suitable enough for Sasuke. Her education made her an attractive candidate, and Fugaku appreciated the way Kizashi never tried to present her on a platter to the Uchihas, unlike some other neighboring families. Fugakuâs hand could never be forced.
They were both once again painfully reminded of their birth order: the younger son was nearly disposable, and the oldest daughter could only be of use through marriage and domestic activities.
Young Sasuke hadnât minded living in Itachiâs shadow. In fact, he thought of himself as the shadow. If he followed Itachiâs steps exactly, then that meant he was doing something right. But as he got older, he realized that his actions didnât really matter because he could never top the favored first son and his seeming perfection. He was honestly surprised by his fatherâs careful consideration of a marriage candidate.
Sakura closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down; the resentment made her throat feel tight. She was always expected to take care of her younger siblings, and now she was being given away to another family to make room in her house. Would she ever have a choice? Did her life even matter?
.
They were left to speak alone, although they both sensed their chaperone-parents lurking just around the corner.
âUchiha-san,â she nodded.
âHaruno-san,â he returned.
They knew of each other, but had only ever exchanged a few words at the market. Heâd seen her haggle with the toughest of merchants and successfully bring down the price of medicinal herbs. Sakura had watched him move with effortless grace throughout the market. He bought salt from her once.
And of course he noticed her appearance â pink hair and green eyes were hard to overlook. She was pretty, but he would never admit that.
And Sakura felt a little something like betrayal when the blush crept up her face. She had told herself to feign indifference, her own little form of rebellion, but how could she ignore someone like Uchiha Sasuke? But despite any of his attractive traits, he still represented the ultimate death of her freedom.
They stood next to each other, nearly a foot apart, in silence for ten more minutes until their parents came to collect them.
.
âYouâre lucky,â her mother reminded her on the way home. âHeâs handsome and only a few years older than you. You will never be poor again. Iâm sure he will make a fine husband.â
âYouâre lucky,â his mother commented when they returned to their house. âSheâs a lovely girl, smart and beautiful. Be kind to her.â
.
.
A/N: Umm I know I keep saying I'll post/update one work then I do another instead LOL sowwy I cannot control this brain. I'm rating it M for now because hopefully I'll be able to include some spicy stuff but I'm /.\ shy so we'll see. I'm very busy but hopefully I can post updates sooner rather than later :)

Iâm sorry this blog has been so dead-feeling and sporadic for a while now. Not that anyone probably cares, but if any of my followers somehow still enjoy following me, Iâm sorry to you all. (tmi health issues below)
I havenât âupdatedâ in a long while, mostly because I donât feel like Iâm on the verge of dying anymore, like I did all throughout 2017 to maybe halfway through 2018; my health has been pretty stable for a while now. But itâs almost like once my thoughts didnât have to be preoccupied with constant terror and depression of the worst kind 24/7, now itâs made room for other things to take hold of me. I donât have panic attacks anymore (at least that I know of; I definitely had one the other night, though), but I have mental anxiety more than ever about really random and ridiculous things, and intrusive thoughts. Iâve gotten a lot of writing done but at the same time feel more unproductive than ever; Iâve always had bad executive dysfunction, but for the last couple months itâs felt worse. Iâve nearly dropped off of drawing entirely; I wish I did it more, but Iâll never be good enough and itâll never get enough attention to feel like itâs worth the exhaustion it takes. And I probably have actual depression, if I didnât before then I probably definitely do now; Iâve started to be able to tell the difference in my moods between days, where I feel really invigorated and into something and wanting to do something, and when I feel really down and canât bring myself to do anything I mean even more than usual lol and feel like I want to cry sometimes for no reason.
I donât feel as passionate about stuff anymore, which is probably a BIG WARNING SIGN cause Iâve heard other people say this, but yeah. Iâm constantly feeling like I should go âgive myself a break from writingâ, so I just end up playing small, shorty video games that donât hold my attention very well, instead of working on my backlog of big games that I know are gonna keep me busy for a while each once I start them... otherwise I just stay at my computer thinking that surely Iâll feel like writing something else soon, because I know deep down I want to work on filling my remaining ideas, and I know I can because I have been steadily uploading the last few months, but then Iâll just end up sitting here doing nothing in the end. Or if I get lucky, write. But it just feels like literally everything I do is happening at a snailâs pace now, for no reason. Getting through anime episodes now is tedious, at least for seasonal anime that Iâm just trying out and not stuff I already know Iâll love. Keeping up with manga is hard too, Iâm so behind on so many series, except for MHA because the chapters are short and weekly instead of monthly, which somehow helps. I like to read at night before sleeping, but I usually fall asleep so quickly after laying down, itâs frustrating. And none of this should matter because no one cares but me but I canât stand it, especially when my anxiety is constantly making me worried about how long my lifespan is gonna be and that I need to hurry up and do shit quicker. :))))))
All of those mental health diagnoses are just speculation though, since I havenât been officially looked at by anyone, cause we donât know where to find anyone. Maybe adhd meds would help me, but who knows when Iâll be able to try any if I do, because Iâm already taking so many physical health meds that my parents are always wary about adding unnecessary ones, especially since weâre so uneducated when it comes to the delicacies of mental health meds.
My health problem has morphed into a swallowing problem; I have extra saliva and mucus that gets âstuckâ and wonât go down all the way unless I swallow a lot, and I canât drink or eat anything anymore, which is literally the most agonizing thing in the world, Iâm so thirsty (Iâm still getting nutrition; please donât ask how). Iâve done a couple tests and theyâve been fine, so no one knows whatâs going on, and my parents have been lax about setting up to go to a better hospital because things arenât urgent anymore like they used to be now that I have a reflux med. I mean, at least as far as I know; who tf knows whatâs happening to me I also have leg nerve pain from sitting in a wheelchair all day every day, which is nothing new at all, itâs been a thing for years, but lately itâs been absolutely agonizing because Iâm too underweight to pad my body and my wheelchair isnât a good fit for me and getting the people to take the steps to change things takes literal months because theyâre slow and lazy as molasses. My back is constantly tight too, to varying degrees, sometimes better, and I donât know what that is, maybe anxiety, but thatâs frustrating too cause it makes breathing ever so harder. So yeah, Iâm not fearing for my life anymore, at least consciously, but things are still hard and Iâm so tired that theyâre still like this and theyâre just making my mental health worse. I spend most days not doing anything, suffering in some small annoying way thatâs enough to keep me from being able to focus on anything, and going to the relief of bed, to repeat forever.
Iâm realizing that Iâm just lonely. Iâm so lonely. Everything is so different now than it was even three years ago; so many of my online friends are gone, even if weâre still mutuals on tumblr; the first online community I ever joined that first got me into online friendships and animanga has long since disbanded. Various mutuals on here I never really talked to but was used to seeing in my activity are gone. Other friends have changed slightly, though theyâre still dear to me; I have new ones that are dear to me too, but yet others that I donât feel a real connection with, and it feels like weâre just surface level acquaintances. One of my two closest and best of friends, one of the first friends I ever made years ago, abandoned me late last year, and to be honest I donât know why. I did hurt her, but I feel confident in saying that it wasnât to a degree that was unforgivable, or at least wasnât worthy of a chance to redeem myself, so.... yeah, I donât know why. She had changed a lot by that point, shut down a lot, and when I set her off and she left, it was as if all that time weâd spent so close together meant absolutely nothing anymore, had never happened... I donât understand it. It hurts so much. I tried to contact her in other ways multiple times, by letter and by email, apologizing profusely, and she ignored all of them. It hurts and Iâve thought about it so much, I know I havenât truly coped with it yet, but have only tried to ignore it, and I desperately need someone to tell me that I didnât do anything wrong (at least, not wrong enough for that reaction). Cause right now I just still hate myself for it deep down, am so worried about her, worried about how she is right now, wish I knew what she was thinking/thought then, all because of my mistake..... I donât understand, I donât know what to do, and it makes me think that all this time Iâve been a lot more terrible of a person than Iâve ever known, and that Iâll just keep accidentally pushing people away by trying to get too close, just like her.
She abandoned me, the few âadult friendsâ Iâve had irl abandoned me and never talk to me anymore once they stopped working for us, so I guess Iâm just cursed this way. The main thing is that Iâm seeking and craving interactions with people that no one I know want to have; I love analyzing fiction and getting into the meta and all that stuff, said online friend who abandoned me and I were on nearly the same wavelength when it came to this kind of thing, and we talked for hours and hours about different series and what made them work and why they didnât work, getting real Deep(tm), and going against popular fandom opinions we thought were wrong (cause we were/are in the minority who disagreed with some of the praise for certain big name series lmao) lol, and that was my normal for a few years... and to have all that be gone is so alien. We were going to collab on a fic together, and that barely got off the ground before she left. Iâm dying to have it all back so much, but none of my other friends are into that kind of discussion like she was, and I feel like a piece of shit for acting like theyâre âlesserâ than her for that, but thatâs basically how Iâm unintentionally acting.... and I hate myself for it. But I canât help it; I donât know what to do. I just know Iâm bursting at the seams practically with so much I want to talk about and do that I canât and Iâm so lonely and itâs all so frustrating and depressing and Iâm so tired of it all. So aimless and tired and bored and unmotivated and afraid and wishing more than ever that I had 2016 back, before everything became so fucked up in so many ways.
Iâm so sorry, anyone whoâs friends with me now reading this; youâre all so important to me and I donât mean to act like youâre not. Iâm just sorry Iâm such a mess. I need a new purpose, but I donât know what that is. Maybe I should use this blog to write more meta posts, besides that one. Maybe I should actually post my fics here, although as everyone on tumblr knows, fics get even less notes than art does, so even though my MHA fics get a decent amount of attention as it is, maybe it wouldnât matter if I put them here too. Is it obvious Iâm just a lazy greedy lonely ass craving validation and attention and friendship at this point.......... lol......... Iâm just a wreck, I feel so suppressed and aimless, trapped in a life thatâs too suffocating and alone for me. And I donât know how long I and this blog are going to stay this way, so........ Iâm sorry, anyone who cares.
Thank you, everyone whoâs followed me and still follow me; I appreciate you all so much, and havenât forgotten a single one of you early ones Iâve talked to before. Hopefully eventually this blog will feel more alive again, eventually........ eventually.............. whenever I find what it is I need, somehow. In the meantime Iâll just keep reblogging MHA posts like a broken record I guess lol.
#personal posts#this is long overdue#I say as if I have a huge following and people who've been Waiting For News#looooooooool#tl;dr i am a lonely friendless bitch who wants attention and validation and friendship Exactly Like It Used To Be#stuck with probably all of the big mental health illnesses out there now who can't get jack shit done#........so basically like every other person on tumblr lmao#almost every day is pointless now even moreso than they already were#when will I be Free (hint: never as long as I stay stuck in a disabled body in a sheltered house with no friends and parents who don'tgetme

Random May Thought #1
I think I may have forgotten how to properly write an entry on Tumblr. Much features have changed since I last posted here. If it werenât for Instagramâs connect to Tumblr feature, I wouldnât have updated this blog in years. Last I posted was a picture of my penmanship in Mandarin. I was still a student in China back then. And well now, I am back to the mothership.
Two years ago, COVID-19 didnât exist. Oh wait, it did, they just hadnât named it yet or they havenât discovered it yet (I actually remember they used to call it nCoV). Two years ago, I was still lying in my bed in my spacious dorm room probably wondering why time flew so fast. Two years ago, I was a completely different person. I had plans two years later, you know. Plans that got soiled. I didnât think I would still be here. I should be experiencing spring elsewhere and yet Iâm basking in the scorching heat of summer in the Republic of the Philippines. Not that Iâm complaining. Alright, fine, I am.
Life has been pretty tough lately. I think I wrote the same thing in one of my book reviews in Goodreads. After reading that book by Paul Kalanithi, I became more aware of how finite life is. Iâve always loved books that sorta ended in tragedies (maybe itâs the masochist in me lmao). But reading a memoir of someone who suffered a similar fate to those fictional characters Iâve read before, reading through his personal struggle made me think about how lifeâat the end of it allâis truly fragile.
I also read through my old entries in here. I laughed at some. I smiled at some. I sorta became sad after reading some entries. But Iâm glad I wrote. Now, Iâm feeling like continuing this thing I do often when Iâm overwhelmed by life: writing. Thereâs a sense of bittersweetness to reading your old diary or journal entries for the world to see. Two nights ago, I dug through my old notebooks and read some of my written entries in there. Ten, nine, eight years ago versions of me who loved writing and sharing her thoughts on pages of now worn-out notebooks. Again, Iâm glad I wrote.
Writing is probably something Iâm not really best at but Iâm good at. And suffice to say, I enjoy it. I love writing and itâs probably going to be the end of me. Funny how going back home, here in the mountains of Rizal, transforms me into a sentimental freak. The life in the city is probably the most ideal, future-focused lifestyle but the old soul in me will always go back and try to rekindle the sad and happy memories of the past.
Right now, Iâm sat at the end of my bed. With a laptop. Typing these random thoughts. I see my piano on the left. I see my bookshelves right in front of me. And I see my luggage, to my right, that I havenât used since I got back from China (I didnât use this for my trip to Japan, I used a smaller one lmao).
I leafed through the pages of my old planner. It was the planner I used for my final year in university. I saw this âDream Boardâ that I ever so creatively put together using cutouts from magazines, stickers, and sticky notes. I wrote there that I would make films, music, and literature. Funny how those âdreamsâ became reality. One by one. I also remember listing down the places Iâd always wanted to visit in that planner. I remember writing all the countries that I would, one day, visit. And by some weird miracle, Iâve ticked off so many of those places. Well, except Amsterdam (because damn, the Netherlands is so far away). But donât worry self, weâll get there. Eventually. Lmao.
My dream board was extended to the next page where I listed down so many things that I would save up for. Teenage me would be proud of herself because ten years later, she has owned that John Green book collection (she now even has at least three versions of each book John Green has published, I know thatâs ridiculous but please stop judging me lol), she has also owned two MacBooks (an Air in 2015 and a Pro in 2020), she has bought a digital piano (God, I srsly am in love with this piano, teenage me would cry out of joy I swear), and she has travelled to a lot of her dream destinations and countries. Teenage me would be so proud of who she has become. I seriously sighed as I typed that last line.
Ten years. Feels like an entire lifetime ago. I didnât think life would be this fast-paced. I mean, thanks technology but boohoo because here I am, somehow struggling, asking myself every single day, hour, minute why adulting has to be this difficult. I sorta blame my teenage self because, she wished for this moment. She wished to fast-forward to my yuppy self. But then again, who am I to complain, THAT WAS ME ten years ago. Bitch, you did not. Lmao.
Earlier this afternoon, itâs nighttime as I type this, I spoke with one of my co-workers. We havenât known each other that very long. But it feels like weâve known each other forever. Sheâs a Libra, just like me. Sheâs a 92-liner, too. Oh the joy! And sheâs a psych major, I envy her. Sometimes I still wonder why I didnât take that path in university. Accountancy was shit and as much as I loved my Sintang Paaralan, I just didnât want to be there anymore for personal reasons. Youâd know, if you ever met me in person, Iâll tell you. Wow, am I really that good at moving on? Anyway, being a communication major is and was a great experience. I hate competitions but I joined so many competitions in that field and lost some but you gotta win some, right? So I did. Thank you for the wonderful experiences, Piyu.
Whoa, I didnât think Iâd be writing this long. But Iâm not done yet. So as I was saying, I spoke with her. She isnât just a colleague to me now but more like a best friend. I never thought I would meet someone my age who spoke the same language as me before her. Iâm a nerd. If that isnât already obvious. And if being caught by our director talking about Sigmund Freud and Maria Montessori isnât enough proof, then I guess letâs talk about global warming, greenhouse effect, and the melting polar caps. I like talking about ideas, phenomenas, and books. Crucify me! #ReasonsWhyImStillSingle
Iâd been praying about something recently. And I only got that clarity when I finally spoke to her about it. Weâve been on this topic for about a month now. And occasionally we like to make fun of this topic. But I guess, when something isnât really meant for you, God will make a way for it to not, you know, find its way to you. Thank you, LORD.
She told me so many things that made me realize that the person I like right now probably has his reasons why heâs not making the first move. And I understood that. She insisted that my feelings were valid and it was okay for me to feel those thingsâto think those things. But oh my goodness, I told her, this person is so lucky. Like I swear to God. Because I donât really âlikeâ guys that often. I donât feel easily attracted to anyone. So it is by some miracle that I ended up liking this particular human sub-specie (bro, you should feel privileged, too bad you wonât be able to read this). Anyway, It was so clear to me. And I had to move on. Immediately. But whatâs weird about it is that I just took a nap. And when I woke up from that nap this afternoon I felt nothing. Like that feeling expired almost immediately. It completely dissipated. So ridiculous, right? Iâve harbored feelings for this person for some time now (it hasnât been that long to be honest) and Iâm just over that feeling now. In an instant, too. I donât know why. Itâs probably one of my talents.
Wow, I really do move on fast. Donât I? Am I cruel (to myself) that way?
So I had decided to busy myself with work. Plan about my graduate studies. And hope for the best. But for now, Iâll enjoy the rest of my leave from work. I sighed. Again. As I wrote that. My head hurts. I donât know why. But it does. And I almost typed that in Korean.
On another topic, Iâm thinking about compiling all of my literary works in some way. I also feel like commissioning my niece and my older brother to illustrate some of my poems for me. Iâve actually thought about this like a year ago amidst the pandemic. But the lazy ass in me just kept postponing. And I blame myself for procrastinating because all my âplansâ havenât come to fruition. But Iâll get my shit together. Eventually. I need to make this happen. At least before I expire. Lmao.
P.S. Iâm tired. I actually stayed up late last night. Or should I say earlier this morning. I video called one of my ex-colleagues. It was also a really nice chat. But Iâm not used to staying up late anymore. Iâve burned tons of midnight oil in university. NEVER AGAIN. Iâm sleepy to be honest.
P.P.S. Tomorrowâs my elder sisterâs birthday. Iâm going to post ancient pictures of her on my stories.

If someone's laughing, do you instantly think they're laughing at you? I mean, not automatically? People can be laughing for many reasons. But if theyâre laughing near me and if I even catch them looking at me from time to time, then it can definitely make me feel paranoid.
What is the strangest thing you've been asked? Iâve said this before, but a masseuse who came to the house a couple of years ago once looked at me intently and asked if Iâve gotten pregnant before. When I asked my mom about her, she explained that that particular masseuse has a third eye. Of course I didnât buy it, but it was a fascinating scenario nonetheless and I still liked the fact that out of everyone in the family, she had only ~sensed something with me.
Whatâs the weirdest thing about life that people just accept as normal? Homelessness.
What was your favorite game as a child? I liked playing Diner Dash, Insaniquarium, and Cake Mania on my dadâs laptop. Our parents didnât keep a strict eye on us as well and we were allowed access to Grand Theft Auto games at a young age, which ended up being one of my all-time favorite video game series.
Whatâs the stupidest thing you've ever heard? Thereâs a lot of crazy fake news that have come out over the last few years; I canât really tell which one is stupidest, but they all are to some extent.
What's the most random thing you've done out of boredom? Make spreadsheets about stuff I will never have to refer to. Itâs a great way to be distracted/occupied, so I donât shy away from starting one whenever I feel the need to.
What show did your parents not let you watch as a kid? Mr. Bean. My mom didnât like the characterâs antics and she especially hated how he technically doesnât talk, since she felt like it would have an effect on how we learned language (we mainly learned English from the TV) and the way we speak.
What is your personal catchphrase? I say, âAwesome!â when Iâm pleased with something, which is a habit I picked up from Gabie. I also tend to say âFor real?â whenever Iâm surprised.
What is the most pleasurable feeling that doesn't involve anything sexual? I like being given lazy scratches on my wrist or leg. Itâs also nice when someone plays with my hair, but it depends on whoâs doing it; sometimes Iâll find it too invasive.
What was your 'Oops, wrong person' moment? This doesnât happen a lot to me, fortunately. For the most part, itâs only been instances from childhood when I mistakenly held on to a strangerâs hand instead of either of my parentsâ.
What do you find attractive that isn't considered 'normal' attraction? Iâm not particularly attracted to muscles or fit bodies in general; a little bit of flab or what the internet calls ~dad bod~ has always been more than alright with me.
Whatâs the dumbest thing youâve done drunk? Nearly fall asleep in a swimming pool, or go on a loud rant about someone while that someone was still within earshot.
What's your proudest moment in the bathroom? I have no idea what this means, and I donât want to ask.
Whatâs something you own that gets you lots of compliments? Some clothes/shoes I have. Also, my car back when I placed reindeer antlers and a red nose on it a few Christmases ago haha.
If money was no object, where would you want to live? If that was the case, Iâd be in New York City right now.
Who is your favorite mythological character? I never took a liking to mythology and the creatures associated with it.
What's something that's happened which couldn't happen at a worse time? My breakup. We were also recently informed that my mom has been retrenched sooooooo life isnât particularly dandy at the moment. Iâve stopped complaining about my heavy daily workload and have instead felt grateful for it, because at least it keeps me occupied enough and not think about the stuff happening at home.
What is the best pickup line you've ever heard? I donât like pickup lines.
What did aging ruin for you? My back and my eyesight.
What is the most hilarious thing youâve ever heard? Ugh, questions like these are impossible to answer. Off the top of my head, Iâll go with this video.
What is the darkest thing you have seen on the internet? Crime scene photos, beheading videos, and corpses. There have also been other stuff but theyâd be too triggering if I tried to describe what they are.
What's something you really enjoy, but can't have? I canât have milkshakes unless Iâm fine with the stomachaches I will inevitably get after.
What Wikipedia article have you recently read? So I watched Royal Rumble yesterday (I havenât kept up with wrestling in years, but I always come back for the big pay-per-views) and thereâs this female wrestlerI think Iâll soon develop a full-blown crush on. I wanted to look her up and I learned that sheâs Rhea Ripley, so I briefly read up on her life and career.
What's a book you were made to read in school that you really liked? Without Seeing the Dawn will always be my favorite. Taking it up in English class was never a chore for me. Number the Stars was a great read too, as was Dekada â70.
What objective did you fail to complete this week? I havenât worked out at all this week, which I shouldâve been able to do twice already according to the workout plan Iâm currently subscribed to. But itâs fine, Iâll just try to catch up.
What could have gotten worse for you but it didn't? Work. I kept making a million mistakes during my first two months and thought Iâd never get the hang of it, and I was just waiting to get fired immediately lol. But everythingâs going smoothly now - Iâm not as lost as I used to be, and Iâve even taken to tutoring some of the newer hires.
What subject should be taught at schools, but isn't? Iâd have appreciated it if we had been taught or at least briefed on how to obtain crucial government IDs and documents. I didnât exactly enjoy walking through everything by myself and being expected to know what to do.
What is the best thing about having a Significant Other? Oh my god, everything. I loved and treasured being in a relationship. I appreciated even the arguments because it made me get better at communicating, know how and when to apologize, and how to be more in tune with another personâs feelings. But my favorite part about it would probably be having a person to share everything about yourself and your life to. Iâve learned to be okay being by myself, but I feel the loneliness the hardest when Iâm going through a rough patch and remembering that I no longer having someone to turn to.
What makes you unusually uncomfortable? Injections, blood tests, anaesthesia, anything thatâs meant to prick my skin.
What is an upcoming purchase you're excited about? I donât plan on making any purchases soon. Maybe a couple boxes of macarons with 25 pieces each for my birthday to treat myself?? but thatâs the only one Iâve been planning.
What is the worst game you've ever played? When I was still taking PE, I dreaded it every time we had to play basketball or water polo.
Whatâs the oddest thing you like to do? I really like doing tedious tasks, like inputting things into a spreadsheet or writing out lists. I think Iâd be a great secretary. < Yeah same. Literally what I said earlier about the spreadsheets.
What's the funniest news story you've seen in the past few weeks? Some fixers at the LTO who approached the mayor of a nearby city to convince him that they can fast-track whatever business heâs in for there, not knowing heâs the fucking mayor. What a mess lmfao.
What do you really really want right now? For things to go back to normal. My parents are very secretive about finances - probably because they donât want us to worry - but I hate not knowing if I could even turn on the fan or any of our lights anymore. I also hate that I feel guilty whenever I buy things for myself knowing that both my parents are in sticky situations.
What do you hide from people? Things going on in my personal life. I will refer to my problems in social media posts occasionally, but would never provide enough context for people to know more about my life than Iâm comfortable with.
What was the first sign you knew you had a crush on someone? I got increasingly nervous around them and I just wanted to be with them all day and listen to their stories and buy them food and stuff. Also, I knew when I started crying over them. Hahahaha man this just made me feel so nostalgic. I miss that feeling of first falling in love with someone.
What's the best lemonade you've made from the lemons life gave you? The self-love, self-acceptance, and self-validation I gained after my breakup felt and continues to feel wonderful. I never realized how much of myself I sacrificed and gave away. I will never do that again and will always make sure to leave more than enough room for myself in the future.
Who was your cartoon crush while growing up? Sam from Totally Spies and Shego from Kim Possible.
What's the best way to deal with religious door knockers? We donât have those here. But I imagine just telling them âNo thanksâ and closing my door.
Whatâs the most hypocritical thing youâve ever seen or heard? My mom is a big hypocrite in general; she exhibits some behaviors that she would typically chew me out for. But she would never admit to that; that, or she wouldl use mental gymnastics to convince me that the way Iâm doing the thing is wrong and that her version is the acceptable one.
Whoâs the most interesting person youâve ever met? Probably one of the artists at Pinto Museum. Every time Iâve gone there, heâs always standing at the first gallery - he looks like your typical visitor, but Iâve come to realize he actually scans the museum looking for people who are genuinely into the artworks and not just there to shoot photos. I know, because he has always ended up approaching me and whoever Iâm with at the time so that he can explain every single painting. Heâs done the same thing with me - I think he keeps forgetting me, but itâs fine - 2-3 times, with the same spiels and same interesting explanations and anecdotes. In the end he always reveals that he painted a number of the works in the museum and for his sake I will always try to act surprised, haha. Anyway, heâs brilliant and very talented, and always has great stories to tell.
What just doesn't impress you? Certain movies that are meant to be hailed as one of the greats.
Whatâs the worst possible way to introduce yourself? By being an ass from the get-go, I suppose.
What makes you wish that you were born in the past or the future? I hate missing out on things when Iâm already around, which is why I often wish I could live long enough to see what advancs and developments we could be capable of reaching in the future. Would we find a cure for cancer? Will I get to see my country get richer and more developed like it has always deserved to? Will travel to outer space be a thing? Itâs stuff like that Iâd love to see happen and the idea of potentially missing out on them because maybe theyâre not meant to happen in my lifetime kinda bums me out.
What tragic event was coincidentally beneficial to you? I started loving the shit out of myself from my breakup. I thought I was already comfortable with who I was and where I was in life, but I soon learned that I could be doing so much more for myself, self-esteem-wise.
What's something people are proud of, but it doesn't impress you? Wealth, usually, especially if itâs generational. < True. Also, fucking watches? Iâll never understand the need for watches that cost a million pesos when I could easily stomp on them lmao.
What's the worst possible moment to go and play on a bouncy castle? Doing it with an upset stomach.
Who is the greatest ever comedian? I donât know about greatest. I certainly donât watch enough comedians to make such a choice.
Whatâs your irrational fear? Sometimes Iâll get an irrational urge to do something stupid and/or dangerous. For instance I was in Tagaytay last weekend, on the 20th floor of a condo and to my surprise, the windows could be opened and they didnât have any bars either. As I opened a window I thought about jumping and it freaked me out, so much so I immediately closed it and never went back to it. I believe thereâs a word for this phenomenon in a foreign language; I just canât remember what it is now.
What's your oldest memory? Waking up inside a Winnie the Pooh tent with my sister when I was 3, she 1. My parents let us go âcamping,â even though the tent was simply set up on the floor of our bedroom.
What can you not wake up without? Greeting my dogs.
What did you think was cool when you were younger that you now think isnât? Side bangs.
What are your favorite or most memorable lines from any movie/show? âI would ask you to consider your response in light of the respect that my rank and office deserve, not that which my age and gender might suggest.â from The Crown. Holy shit that line was so good. Iâll need to rewatch this showagain.
What's something people love to hate? Mainstream culture. < Very true.
Whatâs something that is underrated but extremely useful? Car adaptors have saved my ass so many times while driving long distances and needing to constantly use data to have access to Waze.

Process and wip images for A House That Holds Long Limbs
You can read the pages for part 1 here (full complete version will be linked from YYH North Bound master post whenever itâs done.)
Every so often I get questions about how I work, and I also enjoy reading about how other creators make things, so perhaps this might be interesting and useful to somebody out there too. Iâve talked about my process before but never really documented and shared it WHILE working on a project, so here you can see some of my thinking and decision-making (and poor habits lol) a bit more immediately, alongside screenshots, photos and scans.
Very long, everything is below the cut, and apologies to people on mobile and anywhere else this goofs up.
One question I get a lot is âdo you start with words or pictures when creating a comic?â I jump between both a lot. That said, I tend to lean more heavily on words when documenting ideas in the early stages of a project. This is because, for me:
Words pack a lot of punch in conveying detail quickly. They work better when I need to quickly communicate something extremely specific to future me. Iâm a sloppy drawer, so my sketches tend to make future me squint and go, âWhat the hell was this supposed to be?!â
A great deal of my thinking and planning is done during crowded commutes. Itâs more convenient to jot notes on my phone than to whip out my sketchbook and a pen.
(For a while I thought itâd be awesome to have some sort of app where I can type notes AND have an accompanying thumbnail sketch, and be able to drag them around or break them out into more or fewer pages. At one point years ago I thought about creating a custom app... but ultimately too lazy/busy and my current process works well enough. If anyone wants to take this idea and run with it, please feel free to do so and just let me know about it so I can try it haha.)
I usually start with a few lines summarizing the gist of the idea, enough thatâs recognizable and I donât forget the important things to build off from. From there, I start point-form outlining the stuff that needs to happen, structuring them into key scenes/parts. These scenes are not always fleshed out in order - I just add to them whenever I have ideas for that part.Â
Long Limbs, for example, had a progression like this:
Overall story idea: âhorror story with rokurokubi, key plot point(s) happens, the end.â (There was a bit more detail than this, obviously, but weâre avoiding spoilers here.)
Initial description for Part 1 of the story: âHokushin lured to go to somewhere. Separated from Raizen. HOW??????â
After letting it simmer for while, a solution: âHokushin annoyed at Raizen. Opportunity for him to get away and go do his own thing.â
Gradually more detail: âStranger invites him to go to this place to look into something/maybe has a paid job that needs to be done and Raizen is busy goofing off or whatever.â
Problem. I couldnât resolve this chain of thought to my satisfaction. What kind of task/job can someone convince Hokushin to do on his own when he doesnât know this person/it seems questionable? And how long will the conversation need to run to establish this as believable?
This was starting to get convoluted and I was getting annoyed because it was turning into a burden in being able to continue the story AND IT WASNâT EVEN THAT IMPORTANT. I decided to abandon this path of thinking, and left the entire story for a while.
Much later (like months?), I had an idea: âMysterious person drops something, piques Hokushinâs curiosity.â Aha! Hokushinâs own initiative. Simple and plausible enough. HOORAY NO MORE THINKING. LETâS DRAW.
Then I realized, oh shoot, I need to figure out who this mysterious person is and what they dropped. More time passes. And so on⊠in between Iâm always working on other things, so thereâs no real creatorâs block - at some point I start thinking about this comic again, and ideas work themselves out to some decent level of satisfaction and link together. Thanks subconscious!
Eventually, enough key scenes are fleshed out that I feel confident enough to turn this into a real thing. At present, for example, not all scenes in Long Limbs are totally worked out, but Iâve got enough that I ran ahead with Part 1.
Screenshot of the Google Docs notes/script for Part 1:Â
This is a close-to-final version. The === on top is just to separate this from notes on other stories or ideas. This is the beginning of the document, but this document actually includes many other notes and stories for North Bound. I delete them as I finish and post the pages. Every so often I wonder if I should bother keeping them, but theyâve been refined throughout the process and usually donât bear much resemblance to the original jotted notes anymore. Long Limbs was originally planned to be a later story in North Bound, but I got especially excited about it and fleshed it out further than the others. When I reviewed the earlier stories, I didnât think thereâd be a big continuity or reader experience issue if this was finished and posted first. So I moved the messy notes for this story to the top of the document.Â
The page breakdown for the script is done by me generally picturing in my head how I might want the scene to go and how much action I might be able to fit on the page for good effect. Iâll sometimes start paginating without thumbnails, and sometimes will do both side by side (thumbnail and update pagination in tandem).
As you might imagine, pagination frequently changes. For example, youâll see the script above is 9 pages instead of 10.
The original script for this section was broken up into maybe 4-6 pages, with 5-7 being more condensed.
When I started thumbnailing, I found it felt too cluttered and moved too fast.
So I stretched out the part of Hokushin and the mystery girl exchanging glances, and added pages to be able to create a (hopefully) more cinematic feel and really focus on the reason they catch each otherâs eye - the bandages on their necks.
I then went back to the Google Doc and updated the script to line it up better.
I was also tweaking the dialogue at the same time and didnât want to forget any key phrasing I liked. Dialogue is another thing I get really hung up over, often changing words up to the last second. (Sometimes this is because I messed up the size of the speech bubble, if Iâm lettering on the computer...)
Thumbnails:
Pretty close to the final in this case - mainly because the sequence is pretty simple and straightforward and not many people are involved. I keep my thumbnails very crappy and rough so that I donât get upset later when I canât redraw something as good as the thumbnail. Bottom right was a quick attempt at designing the mystery girl.
Once I think the thumbnails are good enough - translation: I get impatient and just want to start drawing - I proceed to pencils for the actual page.
Throughout all this, Iâm repeatedly reviewing script and thumbnail and playing sequences out in my head and then trying to figure out how to better direct the âcameraâ and the action. I may go back to the script and the thumbnails even as Iâm finetuning the actual page if I encounter issues. You can see in both the script and the thumbnails that there are still deviations in the dialogue and the art from the final. Here are a few examples:
Page 3: The panels were originally 1) the setting, 2) Hokushin with his arms folded, 3) Raizen laughing, 4) we see that Hokushin is watching Raizen. After reviewing the thumbnail, I felt itâd be a better setup to flow into the scene if I switched panels 2 and 3. Thatâs closer to how youâd experience it in real life, or how it might be directed in a shot sequence: you enter an area/place, you hear the sound of some guyâs loud laughter filling the air, then the camera zooms up to the annoyed expression of this one particular dude and you see heâs staring at the laughing guy. Moving from bigger ambience to smaller details around the room.
Page 7: The girl was originally turning in the other direction (hard to tell because I redrew it right on top of the original sketch lol). However, this meant all the directional action would be pointing to the right - Hokushin is facing the right, and when he leaves the bar heâs angling towards the right side of the page. Facing the direction that readers will read in gives a sense of driving the action forward, while facing the opposite direction provides a bit of a mental stop. (This is something from Scott McCloud that always stuck with me.) So, I flipped the girl around.
Page 8: Script has Hokushin going âWhatâs this?â. When thumbnailing, I thought, âobviously itâs self-evident heâs wondering what this is when he picks it upâ. It added nothing to the panel, and the speech or thought bubble would have interrupted the smooth action of him picking up the paper. So, axed.
The damn frigginâ bar and gambling: Youâll see the script mention this, and at one point I actually had the guy standing across from Raizen saying âIs this guy drunk?â Iâm actually not sure if theyâre in a bar or if Raizen is drinking, but neither were important to the actual story because I just needed Raizen and Hokushin to be in a place where Raizen could hang out with humans and be stupid. So I dropped these details. This is mainly because I ran into historical research problems about bars and alcohol during the Kamakura period (more on that near the end of this post), and this was the only way to stop myself from getting hung up on trying to make it âperfectâ and âcorrectâ and just get it done.Â
Drawing the actual pages. This part is fun!
Inking the actual pages. THIS PART IS NOT FUN :(Â
I donât have very steady hands and I get very anxious about messing things up, so inking always takes me the longest. (I also get distracted easily, e.g., ink two lines and then surf tumblr for ten minutes lol). Iâve improved a lot since I started drawing comics much more frequently a couple years ago, and my choice of tools and style has helped a lot (I lean to variable lines and sketchy style, which is more forgiving than, say, a very precise art style with fixed-width pens) but I still get nervous at this stage.
Iâm very lazy so I usually stick with one tool for inking. For Long Limbs I tried to effort more and actually used three. Right to left: Sailor fude de mannen for panel borders and text, Muji pen for artwork (0.4 because that was the only size available at the store when I went to get my refill), Pentel pocket brush for filling in blacks. I refill the fude de mannen and the pocket brush with fountain pen inks.
I usually ink panel borders first, then speech bubbles, then everything else. I hop all over the place and pages are generally in varying stages of completion. I also sometimes add in some more text lines because it seems like a good idea at the time - Hokushinâs complaint on page 3 about how he should have left Raizen when he got into a fight with a fish-seller in a previous story, for example. Sometimes these work, sometimes I regret it later and edit it on the computer.
Cover thumbnails and pencil sketch:
The one in the page thumbnails was the original idea, but then I thought, âseems kinda cliched. Can I get a more interesting angle where heâs not looking straight at the viewer?â (OK, his eyes are covered, but you know what I mean.) I quickly tried a few other angles and compositions, didnât like them and ended up going with pretty much the original idea, but more zoomed in.
In the thumbnails, you can see all my little xâs indicating âehhhh I donât like thisâ. I wanted something with a particular mood/atmosphere especially with all the hands and arms, and I was conflicted between zooming out (for more environment and more arms, and the focus on the âlong limbsâ part of the title) or having a tighter, more close up shot. Ultimately I think the latter works better as it conveys a sense of claustrophobia, and itâs more intimate which supports the idea of psychological horror. ALSO ITâS SEXY (maybe???). The end.
Other random thoughts:
I took a lot of heart/inspiration/motivation from Togashiâs last few volumes of Yu Yu Hakusho to keep the backgrounds as lazy - I mean sparse - as possible and also speech bubbles over plain backgrounds lmao. I think it takes a lot of confidence (or maybe laziness) to be so minimalist and restrained, and itâs an impressive and economical way of working. I was always impressed that when reading those pages of his for the first time, the lack of detail never really bothered me - you had everything you needed for your brain to comfortably fill in the gaps and complete the sense of narrative and story progression, and there are still visual flourishes when the situation calls for it. So Iâm trying to bring a bit of that tighter philosophy in.
Research. I struggle a LOT with not getting bogged down by details, especially when itâs something âjustâ for fun or âjustâ a fancomic. I have very lovely and helpful friends and family who every so often patiently allow me to whine and bounce things off of them, help me look things up, and/or tell me when Iâm getting myopic about stuff. For all the North Bound comics, finding quick and useful historical references for the time period has been a challenge. Thereâs a ton about aristocracy and warriors but very little about the ordinary/common people, not surprisingly. I frequently question my instincts about what makes sense because I tend to automatically draw on similar/equivalent Chinese culture (there was certainly lots of cross-over, but not always appropriate/relevant) or Edo period references (wrong time frame! Too far in the future). I often end up losing a ton of time trying to find something with roundabout searches, and then give up and look at other comics I have close enough to the time period. And then referencing those and compounding whatever historical errors they have in them. (e.g., âWell if it was good enough for Osamu Tezukaâs Phoenix itâs good enough for this rando fancomic!â) I just would like historical/subject matter experts to know I did try...

I went over the âHow to Recognize the Signs of Mental and Emotional Abuseâ article and heres whats familiar : 46 out of 64 Signs LOL
-Name-calling. Theyâll blatantly call you âstupid,â âa loser,â or words too awful to repeat here. There were too many times my mom would come to my room yelling and threatning to beat, or actually beat me up and call me a whore and a piece of shit. Still does, just doesnt call me a whore now, just calls me stupid and a a piece of shit occasionally. -Character assassination. This usually involves the word âalways.â Youâre always late, wrong, screwing up, disagreeable, and so on. Basically, they say youâre not a good person. Everyday AALL DAY. Things i used or barely did as a child , and keeps trowing at as an adult. -Yelling. Yelling, screaming, and swearing are meant to intimidate and make you feel small and inconsequential. It might be accompanied by fist-pounding or throwing things. No need to even explain this. -Patronizing. âAw, sweetie, I know you try, but this is just beyond your understanding.â âAh nooo, youll never be responsible to have your own lifeâ -Public embarrassment. They pick fights, expose your secrets, or make fun of your shortcomings in public. Yup...
-Dismissiveness. You tell them about something thatâs important to you and they say itâs nothing. Body language like eye-rolling, smirking, headshaking, and sighing help convey the same message. Trying to explain to her i dont like something or i dont wanna do something and why, trying to explain certain things she does harms me. And i just get mocked and threatned instead. - Insults of your appearance. They tell you, just before you go out, that your hair is ugly or your outfit is clownish. Every single day. Also to a point that she did this many times in front of strangers, or in front of my friends.
-Belittling your accomplishments. Your abuser might tell you that your achievements mean nothing, or they may even claim responsibility for your success. Yup -Put-downs of your interests. They might tell you that your hobby is a childish waste of time or youâre out of your league when you play sports. Really, itâs that theyâd rather you not participate in activities without them. I stopped practising my drawing skills because she would always say i had no future in drawing characters and shitty stuff. Even tho i was starting and practising. That i had no future in it. -Pushing your buttons. Once your abuser knows about something that annoys you, theyâll bring it up or do it every chance they get. Daily picking fights with me, the yells at me for fighting with her and misstreats me. -Threats. Telling you theyâll take the kids and disappear, or saying âThereâs no telling what I might do.â Threatning to kick me off the house whenever i refuse to do something she tells me to. For example, a few years ago, i was barely holding on with a minimal wage , she would take a cut out of it, so there was this month i did a whole month without days off to try and gather money to go to barcelona. She knew i had money saved up and threatened to kick me off the house if i didnt give her extra 100 euros for house rent. Usually stuff like this always. -Monitoring your whereabouts. They want to know where you are all the time and insist that you respond to calls or texts immediately. They might show up just to see if youâre where youâre supposed to be. If i go out with my friends or stay in my friends houses, if i go to a concert or anything, she will non stop be calling me and texting until i reply. Even if i already told her who i would be with and where ( i have to tell her always ) And always have to tell what i am doing. If i dont she will be mad for weeks and take it out on me. -Digital spying. They might check your internet history, emails, texts, and call log. They might even demand your passwords. Like the previous one, she asks my aunt to sent her my ig stuff and fb stuff i post, so i had to remove my entire family from my social network. Because she would always come up to me daily â ah u posted this why? â wether it would be a selfie or a poem. And is always messaging me on whatsapp and humiliating me and crontrolling wich picture i post on whatsapp. I generaly like to post my user photo of whatsapp as something funny, wether its my face with a filter, or a funny meme. Two months ago i posted a guy with his ass pinned up, wich was hilarious. She kept yelling at me everymorning, and even threatned to hit me , to take the picture down , because it looked bad. The picture was something like this ( not this, but the pose kinda )
- Unilateral decision-making. They might close a joint bank account, cancel your doctorâs appointment, or speak with your boss without asking. ALWAYS does these kinds of things without my consent. I work 12h a day everyday, im always tired, and i barely have money , and she âtrying to take care of me â will settle apointments for really expensive doctors witouth asking me if i even want, and will get mad at me when i tell her to cancel , saying im a big girl that i have to do it, SO i have to take out sometype of time during my busy work day to make a call to cancel something she settled without even asking me , and will be mad for weeks and take it out on me calling me names and shit. And if i dont accept her â lending me the money for the apointment â she will get mad and call me ungratfull and stupid. -Financial control. They might keep bank accounts in their name only and make you ask for money. You might be expected to account for every penny you spend. Well yeah.. dont even need to say anything here. - Lecturing. Belaboring your errors with long monologues makes it clear they think youâre beneath them. Or here... -Direct orders. From âGet my dinner on the table nowâ to âStop taking the pill,â orders are expected to be followed despite your plans to the contrary. This daily basis. -Outbursts. You were told to cancel that outing with your friend or put the car in the garage, but didnât, so now you have to put up with a red-faced tirade about how uncooperative you are. Always calling me lazy and shit for not doing HER OWN STUFF. -Treating you like a child. They tell you what to wear, what and how much to eat, or which friends you can see. I am 30 years old. -Feigned helplessness. They may say they donât know how to do something. Sometimes itâs easier to do it yourself than to explain it. They know this and take advantage of it. Whatever happends she always plays the pity party card â ahh im oldâ , â ahhh i had an aneurism ( even tho she has been fine for two/three years now LOL )â, â ahh my blood pressure â She used that as an excuse to always ditch arguments or important discussions when she is loosing, and if i dont shut up she will threaten to kick me off the house or beat me. For example the other day she was shamming me out of nowhere from trying to commit suicide, and i told her she was one of the main reasons. She immediatly started to call me names, tried to hit me, and trow me out of the car. -Unpredictability. Theyâll explode with rage out of nowhere, suddenly shower you with affection, or become dark and moody at the drop of a hat to keep you walking on eggshells. She flips randomly during the day, im afraid to leave my room. Or that she will enter my room. -They walk out. In a social situation, stomping out of the room leaves you holding the bag. At home, itâs a tool to keep the problem unresolved. She humiliates me in public then randomly walks out. -Using others. Abusers may tell you that âeverybodyâ thinks youâre crazy or âthey all sayâ youâre wrong. She likes to tell her friends and our family how â irresponsableâ, âimmatureâ and no good for nothing i am, and how i am LEECHING her off... LOL -Jealousy. They accuse you of flirting or cheating on them. Usualy when i game or sometimes, ppl call me and talk to me, and she will eavesdropp my conversation and enter my room to hear better, or later wait until i leave the room , to complain about how i treat my friends so well , and speak so well to them , and how it is possible that i talk to her bad all the time and treat her like shit (? LOL ) Well for starters my friends dont misstreat me or call me names, or try to humiliate me or control me LOL or even pick fights with me. She will get mad at me for not wanting to spend time with her, and spending time with my friends. That im ungratefull and a bad daughter. LOL -Turning the tables. They say you cause their rage and control issues by being such a pain. This, that its my fault. That its my fault everything. - Denying something you know is true. An abuser will deny that an argument or even an agreement took place. This is called gaslighting. Itâs meant to make you question your own memory and sanity. For example the other day , olso on the car, with the suicide attempt talk, i was trying to explain why and i told her my most painfull memory of her, was her beating me up for not knowing how to solve a math problem in 3rd grade. That she punched me several times because she tought i had awnsered 7 instead of 1. And she started yelling at me saying i made that up and shit. Like bitch i was afraid of doing my homework home because you would beat the crap out of me, instead of teatching me LOL. She once again used the â blood pressure â excuse and tried to hit me and kick me off the car in mid highway. -Using guilt. They might say something like, âYou owe me this. Look at all Iâve done for you,â in an attempt to get their way. Ahh this is a classic. She says i owe her everything she asks for because SHE BIRTHED ME AND RAISED ME. And she used this argument to manipulate me in everything. -Goading then blaming. Abusers know just how to upset you. But once the trouble starts, itâs your fault for creating it. Yup -Denying their abuse. When you complain about their attacks, abusers will deny it, seemingly bewildered at the very thought of it. According to her, she just does everything she does because she cares LOL. -Accusing you of abuse. They say youâre the one who has anger and control issues and theyâre the helpless victim. LOLOLOL cannot say this enought, SHE ACCUSES ME of being the abusive one , simply because i talk back, because i dont wanna be around her and because i fight with her LOL. Even tho she starts the fights and im just defending myself from her. -Trivializing. When you want to talk about your hurt feelings, they accuse you of overreacting and making mountains out of molehills. Yup -Saying you have no sense of humor. Abusers make personal jokes about you. If you object, theyâll tell you to lighten up. Yup -Blaming you for their problems. Whateverâs wrong in their life is all your fault. Youâre not supportive enough, didnât do enough, or stuck your nose where it didnât belong. ALSO YUP -Destroying and denying. They might crack your cell phone screen or âloseâ your car keys, then deny it. Tried to break my things numerous of times, or trash them or give them away. Wich she did. -Demanding respect. No perceived slight will go unpunished, and youâre expected to defer to them. But itâs a one-way street. Yup... She will happly tell me how to dress saying what im wearing is ugly, i will politely tell her to stop, she will continue to give her âopinionâ i will get tired and yell to stop , she will immediatly demand respect and tell me i have no right to talk back at her and that im disrespectfull and stupid. -Shutting down communication. Theyâll ignore your attempts at conversation in person, by text, or by phone. Yup -Dehumanizing you. Theyâll look away when youâre talking or stare at something else when they speak to you. Yup -Keeping you from socializing. Whenever you have plans to go out, they come up with a distraction or beg you not to go. Also Yup She wouldnt let me go out if i didnt do my bed, and would make up shit just so i wouldnt go out, until i got tired and gave up. -Trying to come between you and your family. Theyâll tell family members that you donât want to see them or make excuses why you canât attend family functions. Well she constantly came in between my first real good therapist. I was finally seeing a good therapist a few years ago. I was finally relieved and tought i could trust him, all of a suddent she demanded to be in the therapy sessions. So in the sessions instead of talking about what upset me and her constant mental abuse, the therapist gave in to her demands, and started adressing HER issues with me. I remenber the LAST time i decided to attend the doctor. He would first attend my mom , then me. So i came up, and he started his usual talks, and i wanted to talk to him that day about the nightmares i was having and if he could help me. And all of a suddent he cut the conversation off by saying â ah wait so your mother tells be you have been staying a lot of time on your computer â â that you dont socialize with your friends and that you dont go out â I mean i wonder why i get stuck in my pc and dont go out with my friends LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL She would always cut me off from meeting my friends, she would always control me, so i had less interest or courage to make friends year by year. And gaming was the only thing that brought me joy in my shitty depressed life coz i couldnt develop any interests. -Withholding affection. They wonât touch you, not even to hold your hand or pat you on the shoulder. They may refuse sexual relations to punish you or to get you to do something. She wil straight up give me the cold shoulder, ignore me if she is mad because i didnt do something how she wanted. When i had hand surgery, she refused to go with me, or get me. By me it was ok , she didnt need to go or anything. So after surgery i told the doctors i would take myself home, and why. And they didnt allowe me and still called my mom even thought i told them she wouldnt. She treated me so badly after picking me up from the hospital because they called her. -Tuning you out. Theyâll wave you off, change the subject, or just plain ignore you when you want to talk about your relationship. Yup -Actively working to turn others against you. Theyâll tell co-workers, friends, and even your family that youâre unstable and prone to hysterics. YUP -Calling you needy. When youâre really down and out and reach out for support, theyâll tell you youâre too needy or the world canât stop turning for your little problems. YUP -Interrupting. Youâre on the phone or texting and they get in your face to let you know your attention should be on them. Yup -Indifference. They see you hurt or crying and do nothing. Yup - Disputing your feelings. Whatever you feel, theyâll say youâre wrong to feel that way or thatâs not really what you feel at all. Yup

Another Story: A Glee x Kissed by the Baddest Bidder Cross-over
Itâs me again! Your friendly neighborhood, Squashed Grape. Â
Itâs been a while since I got into the fanfic (or any literal stuff) and decided to do some fan service today. Â This is an old post but a goodie. Â You see, Iâve been a fan of Glee during the early days and was also a huge Otome player (lol. the closest to player Iâll ever be). Â And made this fanfic cross-over of sorts inspired from the Voltage Inc story, Kissed by the Baddest Bidder. Â Actually I *might* have switched the names a bit and the plot line is from the intro except for a few tweaks. Â Anyway, I just wanna lay it all down there so nobody starts yelling bloody murder. Â
After all, wasnât 50 Shades like some fan service to Twilight, so haters can just move along now, Nothing to see. Â
So without much further ado, a short story cross-over for yâall!!
By the way, be prepared for a series of long fanfics of Glee coming at your way. This is only just the beginning of the Hargreave brothers.
click below
Another Story: Kissed By The Baddest Bidder/Glee Fanfic.
Iâve always been a huge fan of the otome game and the delicious notion of having someone used up for bidding, using the Glee characters seemed absolutely too good to resist. Â How could I? So shall we? Elian âIanâ Hargreave â Eisuke Ichinomiya Mike Chang â Soryu Oh, the cool mobster Noah Puckerman â Mitsunari Baba, the philandering theif Kurt Hummel â Ota Kisaki , the artist. Lol I know, Ota doesnât swing that way but I always pegged Ota as a closet anyway. Cooper Anderson â Mamuro Kishi, the lazy detective and of course: Lucy Quinn Fabray â MC
Quinn Fabray is different in this storyline. Â I made a parallel universe of sorts, changing a bit of her past to make her come to her present future. Â So instead of moving to McKinley High, Lucy Q. Fabrayâs father, Russel, dies of a heart attack and thus her mother remarries another man who worked as a hotel concierge manager in one of the most prestigious hotels in New York, the fictional hotel/casino Wyndham, (loosely based on the Waldorf Astoria) which is owned by then the family of Elian Hargreaveâs grandfather who eventually takes over the hotel after graduating from high school. Â Quinn has grown up in the hotel, pretty much understanding and loving every detail and aspect of it, treating it as if it were her own family since she pretty much lead a lonely life in New York, being a small town girl from Ohio who turned out to grow into a beautiful young woman. Â This storyline is inspired by the Otome route of Eisuke Ichinomiya, whom I think was the best storyline for someone like her. Â Iâm way too biased that I donât think I want to share Soryu Oh with her, hahaha. Â Fast forward to the present, Quinn just graduated from Yale, but is now working he as a chambermaid in the hotel to earn extra cash at the same time pay for her college loans while she looks for a job. Â
Prologue: As I feel a trickle of sweat behind my back while being in the middle of the spotlight, I start to wonder as I stare into the crowd facing me âhow on earth did I ever come to this?â
12 hours earlier
âGood morning,â I greet cheerfully as I swing open the door in locker room of the female changing hall as if Iâve done so many times over. Â Iâm working during the summer as a maid at a hotel owned by the Hargreave Group, which is a large company that owns banks, trading companies, locally and overseas. Â
âGood morning, Lucy,â greets Marley, one of the maids who also works part-time in the hotel. Â I know for a fact that she looks old enough to still be in highschool, but Iâve never bothered to pry into matters like gossip. As long as they keep to their business, I keep to mine. Â But despite it, I feel like I could confide in her because she seems so open and nice.
âThe VIP convention starts today. Â I am super excited,â Marley grins as she mentions one of the annual big events the hotel/casino throws. Â
âIâll bet youâd be way too busy to get excited since youâll be working at the casino floor,â I grin back thinking how exhausted Iâm going to be once this convention is over. Â Iâve been living in the Wyndham since I was 15 after my dad died and my mother remarried. Â Iâd come to love it as if it were my own family and was familiar with its daily routine until 4 years ago when it underwent a massive renovation into becoming the first hotel/casino in New York. Â It had been quite a scandal at first, with government officials opposing the idea of bringing âLas Vegasâ to the metropolis, but the whole issue died down after a while and for the last two years, the Wyndham, became New Yorkâs first legal casino and hotel.
âDonât you wish you could work at the IVC?â Marley was referring to the International VIP Convention, one of the newly annual conventions frequented by Hollywood A-list stars, World leaders, socialites and big time businessmen who gathered once a year to play at the casinos and have a go into dabbling in a world of glamour
âYeah, that would be great.â I agreed quietly.
âWell, thatâs the goal of everyone who works here.â Marley sighed as she hunkered on the bench and rested her elbow on her knee as she propped her head on her hand. Â âIâve been dreaming about it ever since I saw it on TV. Seeing movie stars, top athletes, and other super famous people all over the world gathered here in this party. Â I even heard Perez Hilton was so pissed that he didnât get an invite.â Â She pursed her lips conspiratorially.
âYou know, when I applied for this job a few months ago, I didnât think I was going to be hired that I thought I was dreaming when I actually did.â Marley grinned happily. Â I smiled feeling how infectious her mood was, she was so upbeat by the whole thing, I didnât want to look like a kill joy so I agreed.
âOh my god.â She stopped suddenly as if she had thought of something of real importance.  âWhat if some rich, famous guy falls in love with me at first sight?â I hope he knows youâre barely 18, I mentally think and almost utter it out loud but I stop myself andâŠ.
âHaha, keep dreaming.â I just say instead. Â
Whew, that was close. Our VIP guests are important, but I also value working for our regular guests, too. Â I had just graduated in a Marketing degree at Yale, but with the recession, jobs were scarcely handed and I didnât feel the need to dabble in doing freebies as an Intern in a big corporation, when I could be earning much more doing it here in Wyndham. Â It really isnât so bad. Â I really didnât care that much about image anyway since moving to New York. Â Somehow the anonymity of it all had liberated me from the confines of the shallowness that I had experienced living in Lima, Ohio that I didnât give a damn anymore.
I thought about the IVC, the International VIP Convention, Wyndhamâs largest annual event is today and the international publicity with the media hanging around the area was totally insane. Unlike Marley, I had actually dreaded this more because I knew things were busier and a lot more tense than usual. Â My step-father, Charlie was one of the managers of the hotel and was in charge of the VIP guests lounge and had direct connections to the owner, Mr. Elian Hargreave. Â I heard a lot about the new owner, how accomplished he was despite his young age. He was featured in Forbes magazine as the most successful businessman under 40 years of age (rumors had it that he couldnât be more than 30 years old.) Â He reminded me of a true-to-life Bruce Wayne, ridiculously handsome in a dark, mysterious way and was always surrounded by beautiful women. Â I knew my sister, Fran was crushing on him big time that she even begged Charlie for an introduction, but to no avail.
As we left the locker room and head to the hotel lobby, where a crowd of reporters and onlookers gathered, people whom Iâve only seen on TV or on a movie screen started appearing, strutting as if they were meant to walk down the red carpet and enter the magnificent lobby as if it were from a Hollywood movie scene.
âOh. My God.â Marleyâs mouth literally hung wide open. Â âLook who just got out of that limo.â
I crane my neck and look around thinking that she just saw the famous TV actress who was in a popular teen show. Â What was her name again? Â Elena Davenport? Â She was famous for being in this TV show about a love triangle between a vampire and a cyborg. Â It was insane how people were shouting her name as if it were part of her entourage. She looked stunning with her black hair and her golden skin that had obviously seen the tropics recently. Â She was then accompanied by an equally handsome young man who stood well over six feet tall and had a shock of black brown hair.
âThat guyâs always on the VIP list. Â They call him the King,â Marley whispers as if weâre in church.
âI thought that was Elvis,â I quipped chuckling at her disgruntled look. Â I knew what she meant. Â I wasnât one to get caught up in celebrity gossip, but that King she was referring to was no other than the owner of the Wyndham, Mr. Hargreave. Â He gallantly bowed offering his arm to Elena who gave him a dazzling smile as she took his arm. Â Hanging on the other side of his arm was also someone famous. Â I heard she was the new Broadway superstar and her name was Rachel Berry. Â Behind him was another famous model who often graced those ads in Vogue and a famous British reality show actress. Â
All the women around him are famous, I think dully as I look down in my frumpy uniform. Â For some odd feeling I felt a pang of something that I couldnât understand wash over me. Â Before I had time to even think about it, Marley again interrupted my thoughts by whispering again on my ear.
âHeâs been living in the penthouse suite for a while now.â âOf course he does, he owns the hotel.â
âBut it costs tens and thousands of dollars to stay there for the night.â Marley argued.
âMaybe itâs a lot more convenient to keep tabs of work here than living on Park Avenue or at the East Side.â I shrugged watching as Mr. Hargreave pays no attention to the huge crowd and walks straight ahead.
I realize that I canât take my eyes off him. Â Iâve heard the how the female hotel staff would gush about how hot he was, but seeing him in the flesh just took my breath away.
âAaaah!!! Â Over here, Elian!!!â one of the women from the mass crowd screams holding a phone camera hoping to get a picture of him.
Suddenly, a group of women, thinking about doing the same thing start running towards him and bump into me and I feel myself being pushed right into the crowd and on to the red carpet.
SMACK!
I feel like I just hit a wall and close my eyes bracing myself for the pain to follow after the impact. Instead I feel a band of steel arms hold me close, as if to steady me from the madness. Â I then pry my eyes open and find myself staring into a pair of steel gray blue eyes that were placed like jewels on a handsome chiseled face.
Mr. Hargreave!!
âAah, I- Iâm so sorry,â I stammered, feeling the rush of blood flow straight at my face and into my brain as I continue to look at him, almost mesmerized yet horrified by what had just transpired. Â I still feel his arms around me and I could just tell that this multibillionaire really does work out because heâs practically hugging me right now.
âWhat do you think youâre doing?â a haughty voice belonging to the new Broadway ingĂ©nue pipes up beside Mr. Hargreave.  She sounds almost disgusted by the sight of me.  I can see from the corner of my peripheral vision that Elena Davenport was smirking as if amused by what was happening.  God, I didnât think she was such a bitch until now.
But instead of voicing that sentiment out, I knew I had a job at stake and right now it was totally hanging in the balance. Â I had just publicly humiliated myself in front of the owner of the hotel and his guests and was drawing unnecessary attention right now and it was more than I could honestly bear. I swallow and gather myself before bitchy Quinn Fabray comes out and try to mutter an apology again but am cut short by a curt, masculine and surprisingly sexy voice.
âGet out of the way,â Mr. Hargreave says as he suddenly pulls away from me, and pushes me not quite gently aside.
âWhat?â I mutter in disbelief as I lose my balance and fall flat on my butt to the ground.
Owwwww..
I look at slight disdain at the man who apparently was also my boss, but his muscular, tapered back was the only thing that could see that look on my face as I watch walk further away. He brushes off his suit as if he had just encountered a speck of dust and before I thought he had finally dismissed me, turns his head and shoots me a glare and then suddenly disappears into the casino hall.
I suddenly realize with a shock that I still had that look of displeasure on my face and grimaced as I rubbed my lower back, trying yet again to stead myself as the crowd disappeared into where Mr. Hargreave and his entourage were headed. Â Marley quickly comes rushing over to my side.
âAre you okay, Luce?â She asks me, totally concerned as she called me by my nickname. Â I havenât been called Lucy for a while, I had been using Quinn since I had come to New York, but somehow there was a comfort in still being known as Lucy while here in the confines of the Wyndham.
âYeah, my butt and my pride are fine,â I say. Â
âOh my God. Â Mr. Hargreave caught you in his arms. Â I am so totally jealous! Â Did he smell nice? Â Was he really as buff underneath that suit as they say?â Marley was acting like a puppy dog fawning over that jerk.
âI donât know, I donât even r-remember,â I lied because I had just mentally scratched Elian Hargreave off as a completely cold, aloof, unfeeling human being. Â The nerve of that man! Â He didnât even bother to defend me while I, one of his staff members, was berated by that Broadway bitch Berry.
Hmm. Â That had a nice ring to it. Â I feel tons better knowing that the girl could have used a plastic surgeon as good as the one who did my nose. Â
Come to think of it, Elian Hargreave was actually pretty frightening. Â Iâve seen how New Yorkers glare sometimes, but that cold look was totally at subzero levels worthy of the Artic.
I smooth out my clothes and hear the click clack of high heels behind me.
âJust what were you thinking, making a fool out of yourself?â a cold, voice tinged with an Italian accent snapped me back to reality. Â âAnd in front of such important guests and even the owner of this hotel?â
âMiss Thelma, â I say coolly plastering a smile at one of the hotel managers. Â Thelma Caparano has been on my ass since the day I started working at the Wyndham when she found out I graduated with honors on my Marketing degree from Yale. Â Perhaps it was that and because Iâm Charlieâs kid that she thinks I deserve to be more ill-treated than a worn-out mule from a third world country. Â She stands imposingly before me, all dressed up in her expertly tailored uniform as she clacked impatiently on her Prada heels waiting for me to answer her.
âIâm sorry, Maâam.  It was an accidentâŠâ
âYou are at fault for not paying attention to whatâs going on around you,â she clucked her tongue at me, looking at me disapprovingly under those heavy glasses that framed her would-have-been pretty-if-she-wasnât-such-a-bitch face. Â She was probably a few years older than me, but the harshness of her demeanor just made her look like petulant and almost bratty for a woman in her mid-thirties.
âArenât you in charge of the regular guests, Fabray?â She asks with a smirk on her face. Â
Oh boy, she does enjoy torturing me. Â
âYou have no business even being here in the lobby. Â Not unless you get promoted to handling the VIP guests. Â But you wonât get that chance, would you? Â Not even if you begged your stepfather.â She laughed as if she had just thought of that joke and it was funny.
Ugh. Â I am totally so close to slapping her but instead I reply setting my gaze downcast hoping that she wonât see me seething as I meekly reply âYes, Miss Thelma.â
âWell, since youâre here,â she motions to one of her hotel assistants who was following her like a dog who hands over a box as she shoves it towards me. âGo to every floor and drop off these announcement letters while youâre at it. Â These are for the guests who wish to avail of the spa promo package we are having in honor of the IVC.â
âOkay,â I say since arguing about doing a herculean task is going to go nowhere anyway since this angry vampire is out for my blood. Â Sheâs always been a bully and since I would never dared complain of this to Charlie even though I could have, I decide I might as well just shut up and deal with it. I turn and nod to Marley, saying my goodbyes and head towards the elevators. Â
As I walk by, I see a man, about my age arguing with a young woman about something in front of the elevator. The woman is wearing a dress that looks like something from the recent Fashion Week runway as she throws a mask at the man at the same time spewing a litany of curses in fluent French.
âConnard!! Â Baise toi!â she screamed as the man looked back in her as if in shock. Â âYou lying, cheating scum! Â I never want to see you again.â Â With that, she gave him a resonant slap in the face for added effect before she walked out of the hotel.
This is awkward.  I turn my attention instead to the mask that looked as if it were something one wore to a masquerade ball.  I suddenly got an image of 50 shades of Grey and find myself  staring at the mask lying on the floor.  I was about to pick it up when the man who was slapped earlier moves quicker than I could and in a blink of an eye was brushing it off as if were the only precious thing that mattered to him.
Wow, his hands were fast like those of a magician. Â I turn to look at him and realize that he wasnât bad looking either. Â He was of above average height and was muscularly built, but a bit thicker than Mr. Hargreave. Â He also had dark hair and had the most dazzling pair of emerald green eyes Iâve ever seen. Â I couldnât tell what his hair was like underneath that Fedora hat that just made him look like the epitome of 1920âs gangster cool in a modern way.
Fedora Hat sighs dramatically. Â âGreat, now I donât have a date.â Â He says as if talking to himself then realizes Iâm watching him. Â When our eyes meet, I quickly look away self-consciously because I didnât want him to know that I had been caught staring at him. Â I try to act cool despite the awkward tension but know that he saw me witness the whole thing.
âYou saw that, didnât you?â He smirks, as if reading my mind.
âYeah. Â I-Iâm really sorry.â Â I backed away slowly as if avoiding being pounced by some agitated animal.
âAw, come on. Donât run away,â Fedora Hat laughs as he gently takes my arm as he leads me towards the elevator, completely ignoring the fact that Iâm in the hotel maidâs uniform with a box of undelivered fliers on the other arm. âIâll explain everything when we get there.â
âS-Sir?â
Before I know it, the man ignores my protests and continues to guide me, half-dragging me into the elevator with him. Â Weâre alone in the elevator and to be honest, this is the first time Iâve been to the basement area. Â Iâm surprised that the basmentâs elevator looks just as elegant as the regular floor elevators. Â It sort of reminded me of going into a secret lair of some evil villain but at the same time being cooped inside a glass bird cage of sorts. Â I tried to avert my attention to the man beside me and look instead at the buttons of the elevator as the blinking lights affirmed our descent to the unknown.
âWhew! Â Iâm lucky I found you,â Fedora Hat grins at me, still holding onto my arm having no intention of letting me go. Â His grip isnât painful nor in any way gentle, but itâs firm enough to hold me into place. Â As if wanting to distract me from thinking of it, he adds âcoz thereâs no way I could go to the party without a beautiful woman on my arm. Â That would be a total buzzkill.â
Buzzkill? Â Who says that sort of thing these days?
âParty? Â You mean, the IVC?â
âThe One and Only. Isnât it obvious how Iâm dressed?â He opens one free arm to show his expensive Italian cut suit. Â Definitely Armani now that I got a closer look. And definitely custom made as it fits him perfectly.
âI-Iâm sorry. Â I didnât mean that youââ
âHahaha. Â Iâm kidding, babe. Man, youâre kinda uptight for a pretty thing. Â Were you raised in some Christian Bible thumping school or something?â
âUh, thatâs because I work at this hotel,â I say slowly almost as if trying to hint that Iâm still in my maidâs uniform, completely ignoring the fact that heâs actually right about me being Christian. Â âSo technically, I canât go with you to the party as your date, sir.â
âWhat are you talking about? The reason why that woman earlier left was so you could be my date, Lucy.â He smiles in the most seductive, sexiest way possible as he finally noticed the name plate on my uniform.
Whoa, this oneâs pretty dangerous. Â And a hopeless flirt as well. Â I try not to show my fear when grabs my chin and lifts it up to meet his face as he peers down, bringing it closer to mine. Â I can feel his breath grazing against me as he looks into my eyes.
âDefinitely my type. Angel blonde hair, mesmerizing green eyes, and luscious lipsâŠâ he trails on softly as I sort of feel his face coming closer.  He moves way to fast and I try to squirm away, backing off thinking now I understood perfectly why he got dumped in the first place.
DING! Saved by the bell of the basement floor. The elevator arrives at a full stop at the ballroom and Fedora Hat quickly backs off  and casually straightens himself as if nothing of importance was about to take place.  He could even care less whether he kissed me or not.  Jeez.
âLetâs rock and roll, Princess.â He  announces and gives off a broad smile as if putting on a game face.  And contrary to his calm demeanor, he drags me out into the ballroom before I can protest as Iâm lead into the glamorous ballroom that reminded me from a scene of a Hollywood movie.
I gaped in awestruck fascination, marveling how I could have possibly missed out the new renovations at the Wyndham. Â The renovations had still managed to maintain some of the old architecture, paying detail to preserving its original Art Deco state, but added with contemporary minimalist design, itâs mixture was astounding and beyond words. Â I had no means of any background in architecture, but this was like walking into the Hall of Fame on architectural immortality. I was shocked that everyone present were almost nonchalant of the genius behind the design and how lavishly decorated the ballroom was to the point that even the catering was handled in the most A-list of ways. Â I turn my attention to the gorgeous Swarovski crystals that were adorning the chandeliers that were hanging from the high ceiling. Â
The entire floor was jam-packed with the rich and famous that I wasnât even sure if I was hallucinating because it was too much sensory overload to be true. Â I turn my head and notice Cristian Renaldi, the famous World cup soccer player from Spain to my right. Â And thatâs the famous Hollywood actress, Julie Moore. Â And even the former President of the United States is over there? Â I feel like Alice in Wonderland being wrapped around the surrealness of it all being around these celebrities that it takes me a moment to get back to earth and finally notice that Fedora Hat who had dragged me here in the first place was gone.
Huh? Â Whereâd he go?
Suddenly, I hear a womanly voice from behind me.
âHey, do you have any champagne?â I turn around and am surprised that it wasnât a woman, but a young man with an angelic face whose skin was as flawless as fine bone china. He had soft, brown hair and bright blue eyes. Â He looked so familiar because his face was on the cover of this monthâs issue of People Magazine being tagged as one of the 25the most beautiful People of the World of this year.
âK-Kurt Hummel!!!â I gasp, recognizing the mega hyphenate National artist/ Pulitizer prize winning Childrenâs Novelist/ Socialite.
âOh, you know who I am.â He smiles brightly, happy to have been recognized in a sea of famous faces. âThanks!â
âI-Iâm sorry, Iâll look for the champagne now.â I mumble apolitically frantically looking for a bottle of Dom Perignon and Mr. Hummel chuckles behind me, as if thoroughly amused.
âYou sure you work here, Alice?â
âP-Pardon?â
âYou remind me of Alice in Wonderland when she fell down the rabbit hole and stumbled into the Mad Hatterâs party.â He moves away from me and reaches over the table behind me and lifts a bottle of Moet et Chandon and pours himself a glass. Â He then thrusts his newly refilled glass towards me nudging me to take a drink.
âHere. You could use one more than me,â he grins. Â I was about to protest but there was something harsh in his eyes telling me not to defy him as I emptied my glass.
âT-Thanks,â I was about to take the bottle and refill his glass for him when he shakes his head and takes the glass from my hands and pours himself another.
âNow, go on to doing whatever it was and I hope you get back home safely, Alice,â was all he says as he raises his champagne glass, giving me a wink of good luck for whatever it was I was about to partake. Â He leaves with a wave.
He definitely was spot on about what I was feeling right at that moment.
I should definitely get out of here before I cause any more trouble.
But before I do, another man stops me from my tracks. Â Heâs over fifty, overweight, and perhaps a bit slightly drunk as he grins at me and grabs my hand. Ugh, he also seems really sleazy. âArenât you a pretty one?â He slurs and I inwardly flinch from the smell of alcohol and sweat coming from him. Â âYou wanna come with me and give me room service? Iâll make it worth your while and give you a big tip afterwards.
Ewww. Â His head is shaped like an egg and his pock-marked face is flushed as he looks me up and down.
âIâm sorry, sir but we donât offer that kind of service here.â I answer politely, knowing that we had been trained beforehand on how to deal with rude perverts like this guest.
He completely ignores me and starts going on how rich he is and how much is net worth is.
To be honest, it wasnât really much.
He then slips his arm around my waist and is about to pull me towards him whenâŠ
âThis party just got really trashy.â A familiar masculine voice announced icily. Â I turn my head towards my savoir and realize that itâs Mr. Hargreave. Â He ignores my gasp of surprise and scowls at the sleaze holding me.
âIâd rather appreciate it, sir, if you kept your attention from the hotel staff and settle instead for the bevy of beauties surrounding you,â Elian Hargreave  grinned sardonically nodding his head towards a group of runway models who flirtly waved back.  And just when I thought he couldnât intimidate the sleazebag, he looked at me as if I were a piece of trash marring the ambience and added cruelly. âBesides, you could totally do better than THAT.  This oneâs hardly a raving beauty.â Â
âI-Iâm really sorry, Mr. Hargreave, sir! Â Pardon me!!!â Sleazebag bows apologetically quickly letting go of me as if he had been burned and kept his distance from me like I was infected with Ebola or something. He furiously wipes away his sweat and runs off.
âT-Thank you, Mr. Hargreave,â I say, totally ignoring the pain that he had brushed me off as a ugly and unattractive.  But then again, men like him are probably used to just dating models that even ingĂ©nues were all blasĂ© for him. Â
âLetâs go, Elian,â one of the pretty models whom he nodded to a while back approached him and casually hooked her arm around his, totally ignoring me.
âI canât stand people who donât know their place,â another one of those long legged giraffes piped in hooking her arm around his other free one as if she were about to die in a desert and he was her oasis.
As if he didnât even acknowledge my existence and hadnât even heard me, he turned his back as if nothing had ever happened a few minutes ago before being led away by the Amazonian Brazilian bimbos. Â He starts walking still surrounded by women and Iâm completely overwhelmed as I watch him walk away. Â I suddenly notice a purple handkerchief on the floor behind him. Â I remember this being a part of his suit and realize that he dropped it.
Almost without thinking, I picked it up and started going after him.
âUhm, sir! Excuse me, I think you dropped thisââ Â I try to chase after Mr. Hargreave but he gets lost in the crowd and I canât seem to find him.
Oh, wait! Â There he is!!
I make my way through the crowd and follow him as he makes an exit to the far end of the ballroom. Â
A long, deserted hallway stretches out behind the door that Mr. Hargreave enters.
âWait. Â Where did he go?â
There are several doors on either side of the hallway and I didnât catch up with him in time to even know which doors did he enter.  However, I hear voices coming from the far end.  But somehow, as I strain to hear from the distance I get the feeling the conversation wasnât even in English.  I shake my head, thinking that I really have to return this handkerchief back to Mr. Hargreave, I strengthen my resolve and make my way towards the door where the voices were coming from.  I note the door is slightly ajar, which explains why I could hear them.  I peek through the gap and see several briefcases lying on a table surrounded with guns and large sums of money being packed by three Asian looking men dressed in all black discussing where to put the money in perfect Cantonese and before I could see more, I feel a large hand grab me by the shoulder and roughly pulls me away, swinging me around and forces me up against a wallâŠ
Fear and surprise of being caught seeing something I shouldnât have take over that I feel like I just might have suffered my first heart attack.
But unfortunately, that doesnât happen.
Instead, my heart starts pounding again in fear as Iâm facing a tall, Asian man of slim, yet muscular build with broad shoulders and powerful muscles who is now glaring at me and asks in in slightly cold, yet scarily threatening voice. Â His hair is slicked back and even though I know heâs actually quite good looking, Iâm paralyzed with fear to hardly even notice.
âWhat are you doing here?â He demands as he pins me against the wall as his sharp eyes look at me. Â
Oh dear, God.
It happened so suddenly my body starts to tremble as I start to realize that maybe he is one of those gun men and those men arenât just hotel guests. Â But Mafia? Â Triad?
What on earth should I do?
I breathe and swallow but itâs way too hard to even do so. Â Instead I focus on his face and answer.
âI-I- w-w-ork h-he---â He completely ignores me and says instead, âyouâve got give seconds to walk away, disappear and forget everything you just saw. Got it? Â Otherwise, Iâd hate to think what would happen to you after.â He also said it in a way that sounded like he was talking to a five-year old. Â A not very bright one at that too.
I nod wordlessly over and over, desperate to get away and he immediately lets me go. Â I run so fast my legs get tangled up with each other at first and donât even think of where Iâm headed. Â I just run to the point of exhaustion and find myself at the basement storage room. I close the door behind me and try to catch my breath, relieved with the fact that I have just barely escaped with my life as I offer a silent prayer and make the sign of the cross in complete gratitude that the scary Asian Mafia guy just let me go.
I ruminate over the thought of how it was possible for the Triad, one of the notorious Asian Mafias could be tied up to an event like the IVC? Were those guys even part of the Triad? Maybe they werenât even mafia.
Get a hold of yourself, Fabray. Â Keep it together. Â I have just realized right at this moment I had actually lost the box of flyers I was holding earlier. Â I wasnât sure if I had lost somewhere from that struggle between me and Fedora Hat, or that Mad Hatter encounter with Kurt Hummel, or even with the Middle Aged Sleazebag . Â I try again to get my body to function properly as I compose myself thinking over again where I had last left it and realized that it was on the table where I had been with Mr. Hummel. Â
Just as I swing the door open, I hear a loud crashing THUD.
The door I just swung had collided into something and I could hear a group of men scream âWatch out!!!â
I see two mean-looking men peeking at the other end of the door looking helplessly as the box they were carrying drops to the ground.
âShit! Â That was the Winged Victorian Angel!â
Oh no. Â I remember from the news that this 300 year old museum artifact was meant to be raffled off as the grand prize at the IVC. Â It had been shipped all the way from the Louvre in Paris as a gift from the newly elected French President to the United States. The proceeds of the IVCâs funding and the raffle were meant to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan somewhere in the Philippines.
I quickly open the crate box and find the statue was broken in half and my heart just drops to my stomach in nameless shock.
I am way too shocked to even mutter an apology. Â Not only did I just destroy what might have been a National Treasure, millions of homeless Filipino children were going to starve and suffer.
âHey, this was a very important piece that was going to be auctioned off.â Â The slim mean-looking guy barks at me, ignoring my shocked state. Did he just say auctioned? Â Didnât he mean it was going to be raffled?
âHow are you gonna pay for this?â Asks the Fat Meanie beside him.
âUhâŠ..Sorry?â
âYou think an apology is gonna cut it? Â You owe us, bitch!â Â
The men reach out to me andâŠ.
 âŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ..
 And I find myself being auctioned off.  The host of the eveing had just announce d that the next bid was me, a healthy fit young Caucasian American.
 Is this even legal?  I think as I swallow in fear hearing the bids knock from $2 million to higher.  I got put up in place of that Winged Victory Angel.
The mere fact that someone just started the bid off at $2 million was unreal.
I could barely make through the crowd as everyone was wearing masks similar to the masquerade mask Fedora Hat had with him when his date dumped him. Â But somehow I felt with a sinking dread that the person who placed the initial bid was the Middle Aged Creep from before. Â Oh crap, is he really going to buy me? Â I definitely do NOT want that at all.
â$2 million, going onceâŠâŠgoing twiceâŠâŠâ
I heard the announcer say that Iâd be a slave, or a toy, orâŠâŠGod knows.  This is horrible.  I try to shake myself off this nightmare, but I know what Iâm going through right now was just as real as everything that partook 12 hours ago.
Oh God, how did I get to this? Â I fall to my knees, hang my head in shame as I feel the tears well in my eyes start to overflow.
I start praying hoping that Charlie, or my Mom or Fran could find me before itâs too lateâŠ..
Just thenâŠ.
The auction hall suddenly buzzes with commotion as the announcer stops from closing the deal.
âSeat number 100 with a bid for $20 million cash.â
The crowd is drawn into complete silence. Â
I peer through the gates to look for 100, but whoever was bidding was not in the crowd.  All I could do was stare up at the sum of the winning bid, completely dumbfounded as a  bell sounds, calling the auction to a close.
âSold to Seat Number 100 for $20 million. Â Thank you!!â
Someone bought me for twenty million US dollars?
My cage is carried over to the edge of the stage. Â As I get off, Iâm greeted by two masked men. Â They werenât the mean jerks from earlier but something about them looks vaguely familiar. Â One of them looked to be wearing a Fedora Hat.
Fedora Hat bought me? Before I even get the chance to ask, Fedora Hat in the mask grabs my arm and saysâ This wayâŠ.â
Wait, what the heck am I being so nervous for? Â At least itâs Fedora Hat who bought me and not that Middle Aged Creep. Â But where are they going to take me now?
And who bought me?
I feel totally numb from this crazy situation that I donât even notice that Iâm brought up into the penthouse.
I gasp in marvel looking at my surroundings, knowing that out of all the hotel employees, only Charlie and a few other managers were ever allowed to come up here.
Wait, speaking of Charlie, does he even know about those weird auctions happening at the basement?
âWe brought her, boss.â Fedora Hat announces to the man in the immaculate tux seated on one of the elegant sofas. Â Like Fedora Hat and the other man, Â he was also wearing a mask, but something about him looked made me sense that Iâve also encountered this man before. Â Even the other man seated beside him also with a shock of black hair was also wearing a mask also seemed vaguely familiar.
âWait. Â Youâre----â
âWe bought you,â Mr. Hargreave says indifferently, removing his mask as if he didnât even hear what I was about to say. Â The other man beside him followed suit.
âGuess we did end up seeing each other again,â the Asian Mafia guy remarks in the same casual, yet cold tone.
âYou know this woman, Mike?â Hargreave raises his eyebrow almost as if in disbelief.
âYou can say that.â He shrugs, not really giving a toss.
âWait. Â You bought me? Â In that auctionâ Â I stammer, trying to still make sense of it all.
âHe means WE won you, Alice.â Kurt Hummel corrects as I turn around in disbelief as he removes his mask as well.
âFor $20 million, Princess. The boss must have it bad.â Fedora Hat grins as he casually throws his mask and lays it on the next empty sofa.
âM-Mr. Hummel?â I squeak, not sure if I was asking if Fedora Hat was referring him as âthe bossâ or if I was just asking a reaffirmation that I knew at least another familiar but friendly face.
âPffft!!! She doesnât even know youâre name, Puck.â Â Kurt laughs.
âThat because I didnât have the time to tell her,â the man named Puck crosses his arms as if he were a pouting kid who wasnât included in a game of tag.
âIsnât this some form of human trafficking? Â I shouldnât have even been up for that stupid auction in the first place.â
âHey, anything and everythingâs for sale at that auction.â Puck grins matter-of-factly, completely oblivious to the fact that I had stated it being against my own free will.
âAbsolutely,â Kurt agrees. âYou can buy almost anything there. Like stolen art, government secrets, and even hire a hitman!â
âThat was last year, wasnât it?â Puck asked as I noticed that he and Kurt were the only chatty ones in the group while the other two men watched silently.
âAnyway, this was the first time anyone was sold off in the manner of fashion you had earlier,â Kurt says tilting his head as if trying to understand what was really going on. âYou must have done something really bad to put yourself up there, huh?â
âWellâŠâŠ.I accidentally broke the Winged Victory AngelâŠ.â My voice trails off and I realized that something wasnât right here.  Wait a minute, werenât they just talking about selling black market things in a legal casino that by the way just happens to be in a highly publicized area? Was this even legal at all?  âWho in the world would approve of these things?  Do the police even know?â
âWell, to answer question number one. Â I did approve of it.â Mr. Hargreave says as if bored by this whole conversation.
âWhat?â
âIf itâs worth anything, itâs here.â Hargreave scoffs and laughs coldly.
âReckless as always,â Mike shakes his head. Â âThis woman isnât even worth anything.â
âThink about it for a moment,â Hargreave looks at me up and down as he folds his arms looking at me as if he were the predator toying with his prey. Â âWonât it be fun coming up with ways to use her?â
âWhat gives you the right to decide that?â Â I ask exasperated.
âWho gave you permission to speak?â Hargreave asks coldly, merely raising an eyebrow.
âHuh?â
âNot another word unless I. SAY. SO.â Hargreave says, savoring the last three words, enunciating them slowly as if threatening me to not disobey him.
âIf youâve got a problem, we could always send you back to be auctioned off.â Mike sneers as if finding this even more amusing.
These guys are so scary. Iâd rather die first than be sold off again.
I shake my head looking at both men, pleading them that I wonât disobey.
âCome on BossâŠâŠMikeâŠâŠYou two should be nice to the girls,â Puck quips, trying to lighten the mood, but honestly it fell a bit flat.  Not that Iâd feel better either way.
âWe need to figure out who gets to keep her,â Kurt says, as if now heâs the one who was bored by the whole turn of the conversation.  Though he acts as if he wants everything finalized, I get the feeling that heâs not entirely happy with the idea of having me for a slave.  In fact, he looks ratherâŠâŠ.reluctant.  Iâve heard rumors that Mr. Hummel was gay, but I didnât think now would have been the best times to actually confirm that.  So instead I ask the second question thatâs been nagging me.
âWhat do you mean, who gets to keep me? Â Didnât you all buy me?â
âYes, thatâs true. But thatâs really not your concern now.â Puck says. Â âIf I were you, Iâd choose me. Â Iâm the only good guy here, so you can rest easy.â
âSays the world-famous thief and con-artist,â Elian Hargreave snorts derisively.
âNow, now Elian, youâre just trying to make Puck look bad.â Kurt says as if coming to his friends defense. âYouâve already got tons of groupies, why donât you just play with one of them and let the rest of us have our fun?â
And to think I thought Kurt Hummel was safe because I assumed he was gay.
Guess again, batman.
âMike Changâs the one who could have his pick,â Hargreave threw a smirk towards the cool Asian mobster guyâs direction. Â âWomen would do anything to be the lover of a Hong Kong mobster.â
So he really was part of the Mafia.
Who ARE these people? Iâm speechless but I try to pull myself together and try to shake some last-minute common sense in them.
âHuman trafficking IS illegal, you know. Â Iâm going to report this to the police and I donât care who you are.â
âYou see a cop anywhere?â Elian Hargreave throws his head as if calling out to no one in particular. I follow his gaze and see a worn-out looking man standing by the window smoking a cigarette. Â He looks to be the older of the bunch, probably around 35 in age. Rather good-looking, in fact he sort of reminds me of that guy who plays a thief on TV except that he looks disheveled and hasnât shaved in a week.
âDamn it, donât just blow my cover like that,â he groans as if he didnât even want to be a part of this conversation.
âBetter now than later, right Detective Cooper?â Kurt giggles as if enjoying himself.
âShut up, Hummel.â
âOh, donât be so mean. Just because Iâm dating your brother doesnât mean you have to be so rude.â
âWait, youâre a cop?â I ask incredulously, ignoring the fact that Kurt Hummel just confirmed he was openly gay.
âYup.â Â Apparently, the Detective spoke the fewest words possible.
I seriously CAN NOT believe that even the police are in on this.
âWell, it looks like weâre not going to reach a decision any time soon.â Kurt announces, really emphasizing on the obvious.
âWell Boss, at times like theseâŠ.â Puck begins but Elian Hargreave cuts him off immediately.
âRight. I donât want to waste anymore time.â Hargreave nods and stands up with Mike Chang following suit. All the men except for the Detective stand up and saunter over to me with Mr. Hargreave standing in the center of the group with his arms crossed looking down at me with cold eyes.
âMake a decision,â he says. âIâll let you choose who buys you.â
---END---
Elian Hargreave. Â Be ready to hear more of another Hargreave, Elian was just the prototype of my OC in the next series of fanfics.

Intro Post
Below the cut is Solhyun into post and backstory.Â
Background:Â
Solhyun was born on April 7th and is an Aries.Â
He grew up in a rich neighborhood with Sereia being his neighbor and his older brother Kai. His family was very wealthy having more money than they knew what to do with.
Sol wonât talk too much about his past or where he grew up because it reminds him of his mother and finding her dead body while Kai was out with friends.
Sol looked up to his father even though he was a piece of shit, but he adored him not knowing any better. When he was seven years old his father told him that this world was poisoning the society and he had to purify them. He had no idea what he meant and just walked to school with his brother, not telling his brother what his father had said.
He went home that night to find his parents arguing, that was when he saw his father stab his mother and there was nothing he could do about it. He was sure his father was going to come for him too, but for whatever reason, he didnât and took off running. He held onto his motherâs hand until it went limp.
He called the police but nothing was really done about it. His father was never heard from again and his motherâs death was swept under the rug. He was told that someone he never met before was going to come and care for him and Kai-- but they never showed up. He didnât care, he had his brother and that was all that he needed.
He started a youtube channel and modeling to bring in money in high school (though they didnât really need it with their parent's fortune-- it made him feel useful).
He also started dabbling in photography on the side and it is one of his favorite hobbies.
Sol also loves sports and being active, so he often danced and played other sports such as soccer or basketball in school. He would have been considered fairly popular and was well liked in school.
After high school, Sol became extremely busy. He worked part-time as a model, full time as a Youtuber to post his music. His popularity grew rather fast and soon he had a record deal.
Despite having all that fame and fortune-- he still remembers the one bedroom apartment he and Kai shared. It reminds him of his roots and so he likes to live humbly (most of the time.).
Solhyun is always working and keeping busy despite the fact that heâs been told many times to slow down. He doesnât think he would know how to at this point.Â
In the present day, Solhyun moved to the complex two years ago. Heâs made some amazing friends there and loves it there. The community vibe mixed with privacy is exactly what he needs.Â
Six months ago he was offered a tour and decided to take it. Â The tour is just wrapping up so he is finally heading back home to be with those he cares for. Â He is ready to start working on his next album, getting back in touch with those he left behind here in Seoul, exploring other artistic avenues such as photography and modeling again-- and just basking in what he calls home.
Personality: Â
Passionate, warm and loving- Solhyun has extreme amounts of passion and empathy for those around him. He is the guy that will rip the shirt off his back to give it to you and express it through his actions, more than his words. He will say nice words, but not as often as heâll hold your hand to let you know he is there for you.
Loud, Vivacious, but Private- While Solhyun is the first one to be making all kinds of noise in the complex and having fun, he isnât super open about personal stuff. He likes to keep things like that tightly wrapped, but heâll happily have an adventure or share laughs with you.
Flirtatious and weak-willed - He is very flirtatious, sometimes unmeaning to be. Heâs sincere to a fault and sometimes it comes off as flirting. Other times, he is actually flirting. He loves love and is insanely romantic, quick to fall for someone if given the chance. Sometimes his flirtations get him in trouble and he has been in more love triangles than he can count. He doesnât mean to, but he hates breaking anyoneâs heart as it has happened to him so heâll try to make everyone happy, which often backfires. He will give people way too many chances even when they donât deserve it, forgiving them when he should stand up for himself.
Active and Adventurous Sol loves to go exploring and be one with nature. You can find him hiking, taking his camera and gathering inspiration while he does so.
Very impulsive and leaps into a lot of things without thinking things fully through. Whoops.
Drives and Stubborn - He is probably one of the most driven and hardworking people you will ever meet. He is constantly working toward something and will do whatever it takes to get it done. Sometimes he is too stubborn beyond reason though and that will sometimes keep him from seeing that heâs blocking his own path.
Fun Facts:
Sol is very touch starved, his love language is Physical Touch, while he does love sex and is a sexual being, just the act of holding his loved ones, cuddling them, and spending quality time with them is very important. This goes for both romantic and platonic relationships. Skinship is a big deal to him.
He loves chocolate and fruit, but most other desserts he can pass on.
Loves music and art more than anything.
Suffers from anxiety, panic attacks and bouts of depression.
He cries easily, but will not let you see if he can help it.
Will also analyze you and get an impression of you upon first meeting you, trusts his gut feelings.
Loves the rain, cold weather, plants, and pups.
Hilarious and very lively, always a charmer in crowds and knows how to get his way quite easily.
He has been called a free and unique spirit before which he takes as a compliment.
Photography and art are some of his favorite hobbies.
Somehow is both extremely sexy, weird and cute rolled into one. Heâs an enigma to say the very least.
Is a huge dreamer and often seen with a dreamy look in his eyes. Caution: If you look in his eyes or see his big smile you might fall in love. (I donât make the rules itâs just how it is lol. This is a joke LOL)
Can cook for you, but is really lazy and will most likely just eat what others in the house make-- also will eat junk, but then work out to burn it all off.
Loves nature and often will go to it so he can write, takes photos, and clears his head.
He can either be super comfortable in clothes or will go all out with his fashion and turn it out.
Carries around a notebook or often writing notes on his phone every time something inspires him to write a lyric.
Will often be found humming or singing something
Loves video games and will play them all night
Has trouble sleeping and is a true night owl

Day 81
i keep talking to myself all the time - no not cause im mad or alone - but like i said earlier - i pretend like its âhimâ and just him. meaning, no, im not those people who talk to themselves cause they enjoy doing it, or like um neither those who talk to themselves cause they dont have anyone else to talk to - but rather, -i-just-talk-to-him-
wow, no that was a nice way to put it out there. so much for defending myself lol
ok so im kinda energetic - as in -my mood is- i am not, physically energetic though. i mean i just spent the last hour and a half in bed scrolling through my phone until my phone shut off cause it ran out of charge and only then i dragged myself slowly to the washroom to pee which i shouldve done 60 minutes ago. so yeah - very lazyÂ
speaking of time. WTH is going on with this world? i feel like the number of seconds in one minute is a subject to small rise and falls like the world currencies! I mean seriously, i swear nowadays â1 minuteâ = âEIGHTY secondsâ No Kidding!!!! It all started from after fajr today!!!!!Â
yeah so after fajr today, at first i kind of blanked out - as in - that rush, impatience and i dont even know how to describe it - kinda feeling i was telling? about missing him and all that? like i need some action something to happen and wow this is such an off season - so yeah i was kind of stuck in my chair,, just switching from one social media to another doing nothing literally other than idk - trying to fast forward life and hit play somewhere cool ugh ok
so then something happened and it cheered me up and i got on the treadmill as was planned. usually do 3 hours but i knew doing 3 now, including my tiny 3-5 min breaks every 30 mins would take too longÂ
anyways ended up doing two hours at around 7 30 and then was too tired to take a shower so i just pulled a bed sheet from my closet and slept on the floor, cause no way im putting my stinky body to bed.Â
when i got up, prayed zuhr and YESSS i did the one hour i skipped in the morning and yeah well thats pretty much it for the day. i mean then i sat and ate and then went to the hosp came back, chilled and still chilling right now as im typing :)Â
oh something i said yesterday about how i wish life was full of action like in movies. like i just wish it was although i know its BS thats totally against how this life works. whats more surprising is how i actually wish for stupid stuff - i mean you know how on social media - one gets to present themselves the way they want. i mean you can be anything. happy sad widow married depressed gay - its like - its in your hands - how do you want to present yourself to the world mam? yeah you get my point? but like i lot of people fall for it. you look into others posts and you might wonder how their life is so wonderful and yours is not, how someones life is picture perfect and yours is not and BLABLABLA but Lol - i neverrrrr fell for that. pretty much cause i sugar coat my life too looolÂ
Its actually funny - im actually laughing - anyways where im getting at with this is - i was thinking about it - i mean for someone like me who never fell for all the crap people put up on display on social media - i sure am one hell of a dreamer to âwishâ for a busy âmovie-likeâ all colorful life. But then again in my defense - those are real people and people are full of crap so yeah i dont fall for their shit but i mean a movie is a well organised script being played out - ofcourse you âwishingâ for something like it is acceptable yasss (whatever makes you sleep at night:3 )Â
Also i assure you my vocabulary aint that poor, i just seem to lose my words when im posting anything here. mostly cause i have no words - everything is so messy and twisty and complicated UghÂ
Also its really weird that i feel like a days just passed by too fast this week. i mean i mustve slipped. i mean im like a human clock. lol i mean it. i mean when im not on vacation - and you ask me the time, anytime - my guesses are so close to accurate - like im aware of every second ticking by - now, im just saying im aware of it - that doesnt really mean i make the most out of time - but then i do know how precious it is, and i do feel like crap when im just shitting it away. and just randomly wasting time is one thing, but trust me when you are aware youre doing shit - ouch that burns!Â
so august is coming, and i was kind of planning on fasting - i mean i didnt fast in july cause i wanted to get used to working out and fasting would just be disturbing. but yeah now its almost august and i think i should fast - for like the whole month - yeah :) cause i barely fasted for i think 8 days this Ramadan i need to make all the rest of it up. AND THEN AFTER THAT, it is sunnah but not one im actually brave enough to do to be honest but but but i think i have no choice - i mean i think i have to fast like every monday or thursday every week - cause i have a lot and a lot of fasting to do to make up for ALLLLL the ones i missed my entire life and trust me thats quite a lot - not the normal amount any girl would miss - cause ive been having problems and so i had to skip a lot and stuff - and i never kept an exact count - well actually its impossible cause its been a problem for years but then i do have to admit that i never tried either - cause idk- i guess i kind of took it as - oh cmon its just fasting - i mean i think i missed around 20 roughly - so ill just fast 30 - thatll cover it up plus ill fast extra - which is a good thing and blabla all that random thoughts!Â
anyways i should now just focus on the 30 i wna fast for this year, in august but idk i have to come up with some legit plan where my work out schedule fits in perfectly too. both  are important to me, and im not choosing one over the other, i dont want to and i dont have to inshaAllahÂ
oh just a random thing - but i go for brands! Meaning, you know if something is sold by a really well known brand youd obviously expect it to have good quality and most of the time yes youre right. sometimes, nope! but then there are things which are not âbrandedâ but the quality is amazing, and the price? well most of the time it is cheaper, but yeah i guess sometimes the price is almost similar - well the thing is - i am the type of person - whod want the brand name on PLUS the quality. like if there were 2 bags for example or two shoes, SAME quality, but one is cheaper ONLY cause it does not have a famous brand name on it - i am definitely the person whod pay wayyyy wayyy more for the branded one! - SO now you know the type of person i am :) :) :) :)Â
Lol im sure that kind of information is something a lot of people would use to judge someone :3 But then im not all so irrational loool - like thats definitely something that is âgoalsâ for me! I mean, i am a medical student being financially supported by my dad right now and will be for atleast the next 3 years. ATLEAST! ATLEAST! ATLEAST!Â
SO yeah im not saying i cant afford branded products right now but i sure am not comfortable living a life of luxury at this phase of my life. I want to earn it. With my own sweat and energy. I want to tell myself that i deserve it. So yeah, thats the type of person i am but im not currently âpracticingâ it like religion and one day IF i do, i know it will be something i earned and something Allah will not be unhappy with, because I am not planning to disappoint HimÂ
Okay enough with that. i really dont need to talk about it as long as i know ill be alright inshaAllahÂ
Oh something really interesting - so i REALLY REALLY need to smile. like NOT âsmile moreâ but like âSMILEâ for gods sake hahhaha. I mean idk - its like i hate people so much and idk i feel like everyone for some reason is turning against me or doesnt like me, and its not like i even care or want them to like me and thats exactly why im like all -pokerface-pokerface- but like cmooooon! if youre really talking to someone, something as simple as a short interaction in the hospital for example with the receptionist or pharmacist - i mean cmoon - just smile a little? i mean i REALLY need to work on it. cause if i am planning on being a doctor - OH PLEASE - smiling is part of the job OH WAKE UP LADYYY!!!!!!!Â
but like im not kidding - like i just said -Â i feel like everyone for some reason is turning against me or doesnt like me. and ofcourse its not true, i mean MOST people dont even know me. like in the hospital i went to today for example - whyd everyone hate me? :) i mean idk its just something i feel. its weird. but sheeeeeet. have to work on it. fake a smile honey :)Â
Okay and idk how wrong or right it is. but i thought of it and i dont feel like there is any harm to it. Like, id like to have the idea in my head that me and him, we love each other and we are meant to be together one day. inshaAllah. For which i always and always pray to Him and ask from Him. But as of right now, we are not together. but deep deep deeeeep deeeeeeeeeep deeeeeeeeeeeeeep and deeeeeeeeeeepâerrr in my heart i keep telling myself that. We are.
now idk if its wrong, or right - but - i believe it is not making me do something which might anger my Lord. Â All what it does is calm my heart. a little. And so i guess its okay! At least for now, i cant let go of the idea. Not today <3Â Tada, guess thats enough for today!Â
