#I think we held his hands or sum cuz all my dreams end like a Barbie movie

[4ddi3addie2005]

Before I went to bed I saw the Youtube notif that TADC was going to Netflix and it INVADED my dreams so vividly I have not had such an episodic sequential serialized cohesive dream in months it was literally its own chapter its own short story

[imkazz]

Can u do me a favor & drop that genmui playlist u mentioned? Also which song of that playlist is your personal favorite?

Maybe I’ll find a new song to obsess over <3

yessss (the description i have for the playlist is "pov we're teenagers in love and about to bleed out but i want to kiss you -genya" and that perfecty sums up how i feel about their relationship in the canon universe (not kimegaku) its sorta like right person wrong time) my favourite circulates but right now its "i wanna be your boyfriend" because it just feels like genya swooning over mui and it sounds so silly (i put them all in chronological order of how their love story lolll)

i wanna be your boyfriend - hot freaks

i wanna be you boyfriend, i wanna go on walks with you, i wanna have long talks with you (it just sounds like genya pining over mui what can i say)

hey lover - the daughters of eve

life's a problem in my hands, but if you really, really love me, in my heart, you'd be a big man (hey lover just sounds like something they would call each other)

beautiful boy - john lennon

beautiful beautiful beautiful, beautiful boy (just how he sings it is so sweet and how i imagine mui saying it to genya)

say yes to heaven - lana del ray

say yes to heaven, say yes to me, i've got my eye on you, i've got my eye on you (i could imagine genya whispering this in the middle of the night to mui)

paper rings - taylor swift

i like shiny things, but i'd marry you with paper rings, uhuh, that's right, darling, you're the one i want, and i hate accidents except when we went from friends to this (whimsical childish thinking that they would both survive the final fight)

i wanna be yours - arctic monkeys

secrets i have held in my heart are harder to hide than i thought, maybe i just wanna be yours (just them reciting their vows, both bleeding out and ready to die)

see you again - tyler the creator & kali uchis

can i get a kiss? and can you make it last forever, i said i'm 'bout to got to war, and i don't know if i'ma see you again (they're going to war and the song sounds like teenage love)

derniere danse - indila

je remue le ciel, le jour, la nuit, je danse avec le vent, la pluie, un peu d'amour, un brin de miel (translation has really pretty symbolism and it sounds like battle edit music)

daylight - david kushner

oh i love it and i hate it at the same time, hidin' all of our sins from the daylight, from the daylight, runnin' from the daylight (genya flashing back to his backstory)

muichiro tokito theme - samuel kim

0:31 - 0:45 (love the accompaniment of the bell with the rest of the growing music)

džanum - teya dora

ova duša nema dom, ova duša nema ton, crne zore, svеće gore, moje morе, moje more, moje more (the translation. omg.)

mr loverman - ricky montgomery

i'm mr loverman, oh, and i miss my lover, i've shattered now, i'm spilling out (genya worrying over mui during the battle. mic drop.)

softcore - the neighborhood

i'm too consumed with my own life, are we too young for this? feels like i can't move, sharing my heart, it's tearing me apart (they really were too young, and genya's fear of being useless)

chandelier - sia

i'm holdin' on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes, keep my glass full until morning light, 'cuz i'm just holdin' on for tonight (desperation to stay alive long enough to be useful during the fight)

wildest dreams - taylor swift

he's so tall and handsome as hell, he's so bad, but he does it so well, and when we've had our very last kiss, my last request is; say you'll remember me (mui just thinking genya would survive and he would die)

titanium - david guetta & sia

i'm bulletproof, nothing to lose, fire away, fire away, ricochet, you take your aim, fire away, fire away (muichirou telling genya to shoot even though genya could've shot him)

somewhere only we know - keane

and if you have a minute why don't we go, talk about it somewhere only we know, this could be the end of everything, so why don't we go, somewhere only we know (it sounds sad and the lyrics could imply an already-present relationship)

blood//water - grandson

we'll never get free, lamb to the slaughter, what you gon' do when there's blood in the water? (guilting kokushibo over killing two children)

[muwur]

hiii can I request hcs for Bokuto, Oikawa and Kuroo crushing on a shy s/o :3 tyyyy

crushing on a shy s/o

✧ hc’s ✧ for Bokuto, Oikawa & Kuroo

❧ gn reader

✎ 1.6k words

a/n: ty for the request ! <33 idk y everytime its like headcanons mixed w scenario frjffgt i hope das ok w yall my definitions of all these intersect too much--

Bokuto

✧ mans sometimes has trouble knowing people’s boundaries

✧ PERO bby is just being himself, we lov a king

✧ I DIGRESS. N E WAYS

✧ when he has a crush, he just wants to give you a lot of attention

✧ your shyness is just an added uwu factor to him, he craves seeing how surprised you get whenever he just so happens to pop up out of nowhere to say hi!

✧ tbh he spotted you from like a mile away and pretended like he needed to go in the same direction just so he could talk to you--

✧ doesn’t hesitate to compliment you! will ask if you did anything different (you: “not really” ) and then always says “you always look great, anyway, no need to change anything!”

✧ invites you to his games, hyping up his team and insisting that if you come, he’ll play even better because of your support

✧ has to control himself from leaping with happiness and giving you a hug when you respond a bit bashfully, agreeing to go like 👉👈 “oh, sure, ill come” bc a cutie just asked you to come watch him play

✧ however, when akaashi mentioned once that Bokuto might be coming on a bit strong for your more timid nature, he tried to tone it down

✧ but then he got sad thinking that maybe he was actually overwhelming or annoying you and he sulked for three and a half days despite akaashi insisting that you probably didn’t feel that way, otherwise you would just avoid him

✧ you noticed recently he’s been acting a bit off, and it made you a bit sad to see him looking upset

✧ so you decided to make a sign for him for his upcoming game!

✧ you lugged it around with you when you entered the gym, backside facing forward to hide what it said

✧ you were a bit self-conscious, to say the least

✧ you got settled on the bleachers and watched the game

✧ but Bokuto rlly seemed out of his element; he missed a few potential points and the other team eventually got in the lead

✧ thinking that he needed a pick-me-up, you held up your large sign overhead sheepishly during a time out, hoping that Bokuto would notice

✧ everyone on the team started to snicker when they read your “You got this, Bokuto! Go Owls!” and gave suggestive looks to their team captain

✧ he was confused (Bokuto: “why are you all looking at me weirdly??”) until he finally turned around and saw your sign

✧ and fell 10x more in love with you

✧ and now he can die happy

✧ turning back to his team, tears pricking at his eyes, he quietly choked out:

✧ “(Y-Y/n) made that...? F-For me?!?!??”

✧ now that he’s fIRED UP, Fukurodani easily gained back their momentum and won by a landslide

✧ you stood around outside the gym after the game, wanting to congratulate Bokuto and the team but ovERthInkING iT and you were about to chicken out when

✧ “(Y/N)!” a voice called out loudly

✧ and you were met with a crushing hug

✧ never in your life were you more pleasantly surprised and embarrassed at once

✧ Bokuto’s back on his bullshit, always tryna talk and impress you

✧ and everyone wonders why y’all aren’t dating yet cmon just love each other already--

Oikawa

✧ a big tease and a big flirt

✧ never fails to tell you how lovely you look everyday

✧ a bit embarrassed, you’ll always thank him (which he points out is cute, saying there’s no need to be shy)

✧ overall, he’s rlly sweet doe

✧ he was out with his teammates once when he saw you, so he called you over by name

✧ but since you’ve never met any of Oikawa’s teammates, except Iwaizumi, you were a bit hesitant

✧ seeing this, he goes over to you, gently grabbing your arm and pulling you over while reassuring you, “C’mon, I want you to meet my team. I think they’ll like you!”

✧ will introduce you as his friend

✧ however everyone sees through this (except u) and knows boyo wants mor

✧ makes sure to include you in any conversation, asking you for your input

✧ piss Oikawa off

✧ until he rlly does get pissed off and excuses both of you, deciding to just hang out with you because his teammates are meanies

✧ so we may conclude he can be a bit protective

✧ always staring or looking at you, secretly hoping that he catches you looking at him (gets disappointed when once again, no, you were not looking at him)

✧ checks himself in the mirror even MORE now that he has a bit of an infatuation-- (Iwaizumi: *to Oikawa, who is inspecting his face* “you can only do so much to look human, give up”)

✧ politely excuses himself from his horde of fan girls just to talk to you

✧ always trying to find ways to talk to you in hopes you’ll open up more to him and in general

✧ will offer you help even though you obviously do not need any (again, just to talk to you)

✧ and offers you other things he has on himself, like gum

✧ speaking of gum he’ll always have gum or mint on him in general but espeeeeecially if he knows he’ll be around you bc boyo want his breath smelling fiinneee

✧ eventually gets you to be quite comfortable around him (yes!), so you have nice conversations every once in a while

✧ he’s also v considerate and likes gift giving! bought you milk bread from his fav place because he talked about it the other day, and you mentioned you were curious to try it

✧ one time after you told you that you looked pretty, you paid him back with a compliment as well

✧ he got quite flustered himself, trying to hide his blush by turning his face to the side and then excusing himself-- (smooth)

✧ mans just left you confoozed, but you shrugged it off

✧ he digged the compliment tho, it made his heart swell and his ego skyrocket LOL

✧ his crushing gets worse after you start showing up to his games to support and cheer for him

✧ gushes about you mid-game to Iwaizumi, who looks like he wants to off himself every time--

✧ once you’re a bit more comfortable around him and after “hanging out” (Oikawa: “nOT a date oKAY”) a few times, that’s when he thinks he should ask you out (like on a date date c; )

Kuroo

✧ (totally unrelated but i had a weird dream recently where kuroo and i became buddies bc we found each other’s finstas--)

✧ ok im like 99% sure all these bois would love to get some sort of reaction out of their shy crushes cuz they think it’s cute, they just do it in different ways

✧ kuro’s a bit of a tease

✧ but only because he likes to see your reactions, thrives off of them n eats that shit up like salted mackerel-- (not literally)

✧ likes to look in on what you’re doing whenever you’re just minding your own business ( “whatcha got there?” )

✧ gets a bit close to you as he looks over your shoulder (doesn’t matter wut ur height is; this mf tall tho)

✧ will call out your name and wave when he sees you in the distance, then walk over to you and start a conversation, asking you about your day, what you were doing, etc.

✧ will leave his other friends to talk to you, so much for bros b4 hoe5

✧ always respects your boundaries, though. he’s quite perceptive and is able to tell whether or not you’re uncomfortable

✧ and if you are, he’ll do whatever he can to lessen it (sometimes without you even realizing it)

✧ invites you to study with him after school in the library (and thanks the universe when you agree)

✧ tries to be sLICK when y’all are studying

✧ like he’s extra attentive so when you drop your pencil this man zooms for it before you can even blink so he can pick it up and maybe touch your hand as he hands it to you

✧ “oh, you dropped this,” he says, iNNOcENtLY

✧ you just smile and respond with a “thank you, kuro”

✧ may or may not have done this also so you could smile and thank him—

✧ will also try to impress you with his knOwLedGE and is eager to help when you don’t understand something

✧ tries to fix his bedhead ;((( but fails (Issok bb u perfect already)

✧ will kinda flex about his team and being captain (“oh yeah so we’re going to nationals pretty soon”),,, hoping to convince you to come to a game

✧ which,,, you do (much to his content--)

✧ luckily for him, you end up easily vibing with both kuro and kenma

✧ occasionally you see both of them and are comfortable enough to approach and say hi

✧ after a while tho kenma just disappears and ur like ?? where’d he go ?? and kuro genuinely did not know

✧ kenma just wants to give y’all sum alone time,,,, but y’all dont know that (except kuro when he confronted him later n all he got as a response was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

✧ always asks you about your interests, mentally taking notes on them (he believes that info will come in handy in the future)

✧ and he likes to surprise you with the things he remembers (ie. your fav colors, snacks, scents, hobbies, etc)

✧ is kinda comfortable with how things are between you two

✧ but also really want something more; will probs end up asking you out suddenly when y’all are hanging out >.>

✧ embarrassment and uwu’s are shared

Behind the scenes, #12, #16, #18!

12. Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to?

I REALLY want to write a very intricate AU with various subplots and like 20 characters and hidden meanings and dancing and nice scenery and based on all my favorite musicals and it’s a dream that may never come true but one day one day maybe I can achieve this impossible mission oh that would BE SO FUN. 

16. What is your most underrated fic?

Hmmm I’m not sure but I’ll say (there is just one thing I need) (that you inspired it!!!) BECAUSE it’s one I’m really proud of and one that I refer back to a lot to see how I wrote it.

I really love the idea of conveying emotion through a tiny tiny detail (here being cinnamon) because the shoes of a girl tossed on the street and stepped upon a thousand times during the world war are way more important than the war itself. I like to think this was my first step portraying this :’) 

18. What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.

OKAY I thought for long about an easter egg that you didn’t know about, but one thing I’m proud of is that I was actually able to link two timelines by just one line and it was this quote that inspired a lot of Something Blue:

CHAPTER ONE

Her words died in her throat as Tali read what was in front of her. The embroidered line Ziva tenderly traced over and over.

I was made for loving you.

“Wasn’t dad the one who said that?” asked Tali, eyeing the still closed album with interest. She had a vague memory of her father repeating it over the years, that single phrase, as if it was the most well-known fact on the planet.

“Yes,” Ziva replied, smiling fondly. “It was a part of his vows.”

and

CHAPTER EIGHT

"Here’s to all the places we went. And here’s to all the places we’ll go. And here’s to me, whispering again and again and again and again: I love you," through constant falling tears and a broken voice, Tony held the pen high and crossed number twenty-six off his list. 

"Ziva David,” he put the papers once again inside his pocket and held her hands, raising each open palm to his lips, "I was made for loving you," he kissed them once, twice, three times, "I think we deserve a soft epilogue, my love," his green eyes were full of meaning and Ziva couldn't stop the tears from coming, "we are good people, and we’ve suffered enough."

as you can see it’s in bold cuz I’m a cliché individual who likes clichés and appreciates when the story has multiple connections, so BY THIS I WANTED TO SHOW THAT

Ziva starts telling the story on chapter one by pointing out this is a quote that they found so important that it ended up in the front cover of their wedding album and this is one of the main reasons Tali wants to hear the story again - they were made for loving each other, as soulmates, as friends, as partners, and I think that is a beautiful quote that sums up both the fic and their story very well :’)

They went through so much heartbreak and obstacles and downfalls and the one thing that they were always certain of was that they were made to love each other and I wanted to show why and how and give them the opportunity of doing just that, to show this type of love they were forbidden to share for so long. I know it’s so cheesy but we were robbed of so many things and I just wanted to have a very nice and utterly happy environment where the only thing they were concerned about was showing this pure kind of love.

And there you have it!!! Ziva tells the story from a 360° point of view, but she’s still the one who’s telling the story to Tali, and so the things that she finds are most important are usually in bold because they have a hidden meaning hehehe also I love romance so that’s that.

thank you for the questions, my lovely friend <3 stay safe x

The Welders: Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight: I May or May Not Throw Up

“So you going to explain Miss Daisy in Maine?” I asked.

“Shut up Amy."

“Don’t fall asleep again Patrick, come on. Please?”

“Amethyst I swear if you don’t go to bed right now…”

“It’s like five in the morning. It’s no longer night."

“Exactly, five in the morning. How are you even awake?”

“I did just find out that I am an ancient witch, I think that can cause a little insomnia."

“You’re not going to stop until we’re in Maine are you?”

“We’re going to Maine!?”

“Oh my… fine," he grunted.

I couldn’t see anything but the next thing I knew the light was on and Patrick was rubbing his eyes, his hair a mess as he glared at me from the couch. I was laying in  the bed, wide awake as I grinned at him. He rolled out of bed, nearly falling off the couch and stood up, running into the wall, before pulling clothes from the drawers.

“Wear something." yawn “Warm. I think it’s supposed to be cold right now," Patrick said slipping into the bathroom where I could hear yet more yawns.

I giddily jumped out of bed and began digging through my clothes that I had put in one of the bottom drawers that had been built into the side of the trailer. I wasn’t really sure what I was so happy about but I had never been out of Oregon and Maine was across the entire country.

“Hurry up," I pounded on the door, I was pretty sure that he had fallen asleep on the two inch by two inch bathroom floor. “If you want me to top being annoying you better get me to Maine fast!”

The door swung open, nearly smacking me square in the face, as he glared at me and laid face first on the couch, grumbling about how it might as well still be night because of how dark it was outside.

“This is like every Christmas since we moved into Gram’s house!” He shouted as I started getting dressed. It was true, I wouldn’t be in the Christmas spirit for weeks then suddenly I would be banging on Patrick’s door to wake him up.

“Going to Maine beats any Christmas present!” I shouted back and exited finding him now half way on the floor, snoring his face off. I sighed, put my hands on my hips, and lightly kicked him with my now sock covered foot.

“We can’t even leave yet. I told you we have to go to Barney to get your ampoule dealt with," he mumbled, barely moving.

“Yeah, what’s the whole deal with that? I mean I know you explained it before but it would be wonderful if you could give me a few more details," I said, pulling my hair back into a ponytail that didn’t look any better than my original bed hair.

He sighed and sat up on the couch before explaining, “As I said before, an ampoule holds all our magic. We won’t actually know how much magic you have until you get an ampoule."

“How do you get magic in there in the first place? Like out of you and into a glass orb?”

“There is a ritual of sorts. A weird mystical druid and celtic ritual that binds you to your ampoule. It’s a blood ritual, your magic is in your blood. Basically you bleed into some melted glass which then goes to a different camp where they have furnaces where they shape, bless, and place a protection charm on your ampoule."

“How do you use it?”

“That part is simple. The thing is basically bleeding magic all the time. Only someone who is related to you by blood can use your ampoule. That’s how you got to use your moms. Since it is literally all magic, all you have to do is have it touching you and bam, you’re a witch."

“Throw it on the ground and you get transported to a secret community," I summed up.

“Bingo," he whispered.

“So I’ve had magic in me all along?”

“Yep," Patrick said. I nodded slowly, staring at the floor. After a few seconds of silence Patrick asked, “You okay?”

“Yeah, yeah. I’m fine. If I get an ampoule does that mean I have to do the sacrificial ritual?”

“Well, obviously. Everyone had to do it. Even me. It’s not that bad," Patrick said, standing and showing me the palm of his hand, a straight white scar in the middle of his hand that I recognized.

“You little turd! You told me you cut your hand trying to make me a birthday cake!” I slightly shouted and slapped his hand away.

“Because I can totally bake a cake. I got it from some bakery," he explained.

“I cannot believe you!” I shouted, no longer holding back.

“It was like 10 years ago get over it!”

I shut my mouth, pressed my lips shut. He did the same and we stared at each other before we burst out giggling. Our cheeks were turning red as I fell to the couch. It was the earliest I had ever laughed and probably the earliest I had ever been awake, not even school started this early.

“Alright. I’m definitely awake now. Let’s go, we’ll talk to Barney later," Patrick sighed, grabbing his jean jacket and throwing an arm around my shoulders.

Outside there were a few gas powered lamps flickering on, clearly just to light the way in case anyone wanted to go for a midnight stroll. It wasn’t actually that dark out, and it wasn’t five in the morning, about 9 AM at the most. The fire outside of the twin's tent was still puffing smoke, either they left it going or they had just gone to bed. Either one was a bad idea. Besides the smell of smoke, the obnoxious sound of crickets was thick in the air while Patrick stretched once more then headed towards the smoldering fire that was outside Lee and Delia’s tent.

Pulling back the canvas flap of the tent, Patrick peered inside and asked, “Changed your mind yet?”

Instead of a verbal answer, he was smacked in the face with a patched up pillow. We got about the same response from Griffin, Cameron, and Ferris.

“Tell her I said hi. I think her little nephew is with her so tell him hi too." was the only thing that Delia said before continuing to drool on her pillow.

“Alright, come on," Patrick said, heading away from the camp. “No travel magic inside the walls. We need some candles."

+++++++++

We stood across from each other, a white candle in one of my hands while Patrick held his ampoule. On the ground was another white candle, a purple candle, and a orangish red candle along with a single leaf of some tree that grew in Maine. This spell was supposed to grant safe passage to someone who was traveling, whether it was yourself or not. Patrick had explained that we didn’t usually need candles but it would be easier with them because I had no real use over my magic yet.

“You ready," Patrick asked and I nodded, watching the wax drip down the candle slowly. “Okay, take my hand and you got to say this with me, even if you don’t have an ampoule you’ve still got magic."

“Let’s do this ‘cuz," I said and took his sweaty hand.

Then he chanted, and it sounded like this:

"Hail Mother of the World!

Nanna, Isis, Astarte, Selene, Holy Sheen

See me, look upon me

See me, look upon me

See me, look upon me

Protect me and my people tonight.

Send your white light around me.

Send your protective light around me

That they may be protected

As they travel and as they dream.

Send only good and lucid energies their way.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

“Repeat it as best you can, it may take few tries but you’ll get it down," Patrick comforted and I nodded.

And then the chanting began, it was just like in the movies. Our voices mixed together, our eyes shut, and yes, the wind began to blow. It felt similar to when I had first come into the camp and ended up nearly throwing up except this time it didn’t stop immediately. It took a few moments and while that was happening I was trying to keep my balance while Patrick continued to chant. My mind went fuzzy, pictures that imitated fireworks exploded behind my eyelids until everything froze, and I fell to my knees. Patrick tried to catch me, I felt his hands on my forearms but I sunk to my knees, the grass collapsing around me.

“That was great Amy. Amazing for someone who hasn’t used magic before," he praised and I slowly opened my eyes, looking up at him dizzily before stumbling to my feet and glancing around, holding onto Patrick's arms to support.

“Wait a minute, weren’t we supposed to move?” I asked, my stomach had flipped upside down and was now refusing to go back to normal.

Even through my blurry eyes, I could tell we were in a forest. And it looked extremely similar to Siuslaw forest, just without the brick wall. There were trees, rocks, distant trails, and a few birds peering down at us as if judging us with beady little eyes. Another thing, it was much lighter here than in the dark camp we had supposedly just left.

“We did leave. We’re in Maine," Patrick replied, smiling at me as I looked around confused.

“Patrick, you’re crazy. We’re still in Oregon weirdo," I sighed, crossing my arms,

“Oh be quiet and watch," he rolled his eyes and took my hand again. He slowly let his ampoule roll from his fingers to the ground; it hit with a thunk and the world once again began to spin.
