Hello! Here are the new traits that I have been working on. I have made 15 new CAS Traits

How does this work?

Just like you would add any other CAS trait for your Sims. For reference, you can look at the photo and these are all the traits you would find in the game. These are compatible with all of my other previous traits.

Depending on what trait you use sims with the traits or sims around the sim with these traits can have certain reactions. It's just like how the traits work in general.

Gamer: These Sims gain significant happiness and stress relief from playing video games, may become tense if they haven't gamed for a while, and excel in tech-related careers.

Romantic Idealist: These Sims dream of grand romantic gestures and true love, often getting mood boosts from romantic interactions but may become sad if their love life doesn't meet their lofty expectations.

Cuddle Bug: These Sims love giving and receiving hugs, gaining positive moodlets from cuddling with loved ones and pets.

Fairy-Tale Fanatic: These Sims are obsessed with fairy tales, feeling happy when reading or discussing them and often aspire to live out their own fairy-tale romance or adventure.

Baker: These Sims find joy and comfort in baking, experiencing mood improvements when making and eating baked goods.

Memory Keeper: These Sims cherish memories more than most, often reminiscing about past events, which can significantly affect their mood.

Vintage Lover: These Sims have a passion for all things vintage, gaining happiness from wearing vintage clothes and decorating their homes with retro items.

Home Chef: These Sims love cooking at home and experimenting with recipes, gaining positive moodlets from cooking meals for others.

Body Conscious: These Sims are often critical of their body, frequently feeling insecure and may seek validation or comfort from others regarding their appearance.

Love-Struck: These Sims easily fall in love, often feeling elated in romantic relationships but may experience deeper sadness from breakups.

Monogamous: These Sims prefer deep, committed relationships, gaining substantial mood boosts from stable relationships but may feel insecure with casual romances.

Heartbreaker: These Sims find it easy to start and end relationships, gaining confidence from romantic conquests but potentially leaving a trail of broken hearts.

Natural Beauty: These Sims are confident in their natural appearance, often receiving compliments and feeling happy without makeup or styling.

Elegantly Aged: These Sims age gracefully, often receiving compliments on their mature beauty and feeling confident in later life stages.

Body Positive: These Sims love their body in all its forms, often inspiring others to feel the same and rarely feeling insecure about their physique.

Hairstyle Hobbyist: These Sims love experimenting with their hair, feeling happiest and most confident after a visit to the salon or trying a new hairstyle at home.

Unkempt: These Sims don't prioritize grooming, often feeling indifferent to their messy appearance but may occasionally feel embarrassed in social situations.

Age Insecure: These Sims struggle with aging, often feeling sad or anxious about getting older and may seek rejuvenation through various means.

What else do I need for the mod?

The Mood Pack (If your UI disappears or there are UI issues after you play an animation with a mod it is because the Mood Pack isn't properly installed or installed at all. Please make sure you make note of this.)

Does this mod require any DLC?

The mod is BGC. The traits do tap into each pack so having them will create a more full experience. Not required though.

Questions and concerns you might have?

If you have one send it here: Trait Requests

Report it here: Mod Bug Report

How to install the mod?

You can choose to download whichever trait you want from the downloads below OR you can download the zip file "Maplebell More CAS Traits #3" If there are also traits you do not want then you can delete them from the folder.

Can i request Kraven x male reader headcanons? 🤭 also seen you were sick, hope you’re feeling better. 💗

Kraven the hunter x male reader

Dear anon you probably don’t even remember requesting this from how long it took for me to post this 💔💔. I hope you don’t mind and enjoy the fic.

1. Wilderness Dates – Instead of typical dates, Kraven takes you on hunting trips, teaching you how to track, set traps, and survive in the wild.

2. Protective Instincts – He’s fiercely protective of you, always keeping a watchful eye when you’re in dangerous areas, even if you insist you can handle yourself.

3. Animal Affection – Kraven’s pets, especially his lions and leopards, are unusually affectionate toward you. He says it’s because they recognize you as his mate.

4. Trophy Gifts – Instead of flowers or jewelry, he brings you trophies from his hunts—like a beautifully carved bone knife or a rare pelt he insists would make a good cloak for you.

5. His urge for dominance – He treats you like his equal but has a deeply ingrained need to prove himself as the strongest, often challenging you to arm wrestling matches or sparring sessions.

6. Soft for You – He may be a ruthless hunter, but when he’s alone with you, he becomes oddly tender, brushing his fingers through your hair and pressing soft kisses against your temple.

7. Cooking Experiments – He insists on cooking meat he hunted himself, sometimes with questionable seasoning choices. You once had to pretend to enjoy an overly spicy jungle stew.

8. Jealousy Issues – Kraven doesn’t handle jealousy well. If someone flirts with you, he looms behind them like a predator, silently daring them to back off.

9. Old-School Romance – He believes in grand, dramatic gestures, like carrying you bridal-style over a river or slaying a beast in your honor.

10. Hunting Together – If you show any interest in hunting, he takes great pride in teaching you, even letting you lead small hunts to boost your confidence.

11. Battle Couple Energy – If you’re a fighter, he adores the idea of battling side by side, reveling in the thrill of combat together.

12. Survival Training – He believes you should be able to survive in the wild without him, so he occasionally tests you by disappearing for a few hours and watching from afar to see how you handle yourself.

13. Affectionate Nicknames – He calls you things like "Little Wolf," "My Lion," or "Prey-Turned-Predator" depending on his mood.

14. Body Worship – Kraven is a man who appreciates strength, whether it’s his own or yours. If you work out, expect a lot of lingering hands and admiring glances.

15. Animal-Like Comfort – He’s not above curling around you like a big cat when you’re resting together, nuzzling into your neck as he dozes off.

16. Tattoos and Scars – If you have scars, he traces them with fascination, praising you for being strong enough to earn them. If you have tattoos, he asks about their meaning and if he can add one to your collection.

17. Loyal to the End – Once Kraven has claimed you as his, he is unshakably devoted. Betrayal is unthinkable, and he would cross the world to find you if you were taken from him.

18. Drunken Boasting – After a few drinks, he brags loudly about your strength, intelligence, or cunning to anyone who will listen, making sure the world knows you’re worthy of standing beside him.

19. Traditional Courting – He has an old-fashioned view of romance and might insist on proving himself to you through trials, like hunting a beast in your name or bringing home an impressive prize.

20. Predator and Prey Dynamic – Sometimes, just to mess with you, he’ll playfully “hunt” you in the jungle or around your home, only to catch you in his arms and whisper, “You are mine.”

THE END

Second chances.

Alexia putellas x coach!reader.

Summary: new job, old friends , and memories your tried to forget. Will you be able to dodge the past as you navigate your new job?

“ More news arrived from the RFEF who have promised that they were going through a systematic change after the Luis Rubiales scandal. They have announced this morning the arrival of a new head coach to lead the women’s team in the upcoming euro cup which will be held in switzerland. The 33 years old coach came from the united states where she led her team to victory in the nwsl. Her name may sound familiar to you because she was a part of Vilda's coaching staff until she decided to step away for unknown reasons. Although she has never coached a national team before, the new RFEF president is confident she will heal wounds left by her predecessor mostré tomé and restore the team to its winning ways.” says the reporter on the TV. you were sitting on your couch listening to her talking about your new job with player’s files in your lap. The international break was in 7 days and you needed to get familiar with everyone and have a clear plan of your strategy.

Being back in Spain brought back so many memories. You haven't come back since everything went down and you quit your job. You swore you would never come back to work with the RFEF however seeing everything unfold in the news you knew that agreeing to come back was more of a necessity than a choice. You loved the girls very much and you knew that they deserved better than what they got and you were adamant on giving them the best. Moreover, the new president was a woman you knew and was friends with. You trusted her and agreed to give her a chance. Besides Barcelona was the best city in the world, you couldn't pass up the chance to come back home.

As soon as you accepted your position, you contacted old colleagues, ones that you knew you could trust, and combined them with some of the existing staff that you were 100 percent sure were a safe fit for the new environment you were hoping to achieve and formed your new staff and announced it to the media. The fans were shocked at the amount of changes you made and their comments were very supportive of your decision which gave you a boost of confidence.

All you were thinking about was this team. You held and attended meetings all day long. You practically lived on your desk but it was all worth it because it all led to this phone call you were pursuing since the day you got to barcelona. You waited in front of your laptop anxiously waiting for your star player to join the zoom call. Shortly after you see her face pop on your screen.

“ hola.” you say enthusiastically. “ hola.” she replies. She looked much older since the last time you saw her, which was 4 years ago.

“ Thanks for agreeing to this call. It truly means a lot.” you say playing with a pen in your hands.

“ yeah it wasn't easy but i thought why not hear you out.” she replied.

“ So I am gonna get right to it. I want you to be back in the national team. You are the best center back i know, i want you to be in the te am, and you deserve to have a place in this team.”

“ I see you haven't changed, you are still as honest as you were but I would have to decline.” responded mapi.

“ I am turning things around maria. You know me, you know my story, you know everything. This time is different. I came back to make things different. You watched everything happen in front of your eyes. Do you truly think I could make someone feel the way I felt back then?”

Mapi stayed quiet, she was perhaps thinking about that night you decided to leave everything behind. The night the idea of las 15 was created.

“ okay.” you hear her say. “ I will come to this camp.” you are overjoyed “ you wont regret it leon.”

Your happiness was cut short because you remembered that you had to do this 2 more times with pina and leila. After 2 very long phone calls you got them to trust you and to agree to the return to the national team. You then drafted the call up list and sent it to your assistant.

The days leading up to camp went by quickly as your plans of the first steps towards rebuilding were coming to fruition.

You were sitting in your office when you heard a knock on the door, it was your assistant coach informing you that the players began to arrive. A wave of nerves watched over you but that was to be expected. You were a part of this team before and you hoped they would welcome you back with open arms. You were wearing casual clothes so that you won't be seen as authoritarian. You settled for a white t-shirt, black pants and shoes, and you wore your hair down. Your objective was to appear normal and friendly to the members of the team you weren't familiar with. You headed straight for the conference room and waited for the first people to arrive. Shortly after that Irene walked through the door. You were instantly transported back to 4 years ago which is the last time you and the captain have spoken. You closed your eyes briefly to try and get the bad memories away and open a new chapter with the captain. You shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with her and the rest of the barca group but quickly moved on to the other members that had joined. After they were all settled in their chairs you noticed the absence of the person you were most afraid to see, alexia putellas. Before you accepted the job you wrote down a pros and cons list. The first reason you put on the pros was the paycheck and the glory. However for the cons the first thing you wrote down was alexia putellas’s name. Seconds after you thought about her she appeared. She was just as beautiful and charming as you remembered. She immediately came to you but without sharing eye contact with you. She went in to kiss your cheek as a way to say hello and you did too. She still smelled like before and her smell still had a magnetic power over you. She then took a seat next to Irene and you pulled yourself together again and started your presentation.

“ Hello everybody and welcome. You all heard of me, some of you even were a part of my team when I was working here which feels like a lifetime ago. But in that lifetime this team has risen from the underdog to the most favored and feared team in the world. I am here to continue that legacy and help the team strengthen its roster. But I am also here to create an environment, a culture, and a safe space for you all. You all are the best in Spain and you deserve to be treated like it. This culture I am trying to create involves no tolerance for homophobia, transphobia, racism, or sexism. I urge you to report any case of abuse or mistreatment from my staff or your teammates. I tried my best to employ people I trust and are advised to report anything that made you uncomfortable. So Without further or do let's talk strategy.”

You go over everything you expect from the team and how the strategy is going to change. You then instruct your team to go rest so that training may begin tomorrow at 9 am.

On their way out you called for the captain to have a word with them. Once the room is empty you quickly say ” so you heard everything i said, i just want to make sure that you two know that i mean Plus the captaincy is going to change. Obviously, you two are the captain and vice. You can come with me with any concern or question about anything.my door is always open. I am appointing jenni as the 3rd captain.”

“ That wouldn't go over well with the federation,” said irene.

“ Well, I don't care. They knew who they hired. Plus I don't play by their rules.” you respond. The captains share a satisfactory look with you although you haven't looked at either of their eyes, then leave.

Your transition to head coach seemed to be seamless. The players were responding to your advice and strategies. The media seemed to be happy with the changes you made and especially with the arrival of mapi leon. The vibe of the club overall was great, and you were getting comfortable in your new spot. However, it was all about to change at the pro match press conference. The conference itself went great. You and the vice captain answered all the questions given to you without any mishaps. But once the media left and you were left alone with alexia, you felt yourself suffocating so you quickly got up to leave.

“ You can't avoid me forever,” said Alexia calmly.

“ Who said anything about avoiding you? The conference is done, so I am leaving. If you want to talk to me about anything, my office door is always open.” you say with a cold tone not bothering to look at her.

“ You don't talk to me like you never do. Besides you won't even look at me." Alexia sounded sad. All you wanted was to take away all her pain but you couldn't.

“ I talk like this to everybody.” you hear her get up and see her in front of you. Not looking her in her eyes would prove her point, and doing it would rip you to shreds. You suck it up and look at her hazel captivating eyes. “ Happy now?” you respond. “ We can't continue like this, we have to talk about that night.”

“ alexia there is nothing to talk about. I forgot everything that happened ,I moved on. I am your coach right now. If you have a concern about anything football related, come to my office.” you were lying straight to her face. You didn't move on or forget what happened. You just hoped your tough girl act would hold with her.

Game Day was always fun for you but this time around it had a little nervousness attached to it since it was your introduction as the new coach. You started your day witha call from the RFEF board wishing you good luck and re-stating their confidence in you. You revised your strategy, confirmed you starting 11, and headed to the bus so that you would head to the stadium. You decided on a blue suit and let your hair down. You looked both masculine and feminine which summed up your personality perfectly.

Once you arrived at the stadium you gave the girls a motivational speech, headed to your seat in the sidelines and waited for the game to begin. You weren't a loud manager. You just sat there, observed the play and took notes. You trusted the girl’s judgment and gave them some autonomy when it came to the style of play which rewarded you with a goal in the 8th minute by aitana bonmati. The 1-0 unset turned into 6-0 by the 76th minute which made you proud of your debut. However it all turned into chaos when alexia putellas fell on the field. You panicked as the paramedics ran to her. You watched intensely as they examined her and waited for the signal that informed you that you needed a substitution which you got almost immediately. Your heart broke for the recently healed midfielder but you had other things in mind. You called for Teresa Abelleira and subbed her in. The game ended in a 7-0 win. You shook hands with everybody, did an interview but the thought of alexia didn't leave your mind. As soon as you were done you semi sprinted to the locker room. Once you got there you found irene.

“ Is it the acl again?” you ask worryingly.

“ No, it's just a muscle strain and her knee is acting up again.” you breathe for the first time in an hour.

“ This is happening because of you.” she says harshly.

“ Excuse me.” you couldnt believe what you heard.

“ You shouldn't have come back here. You taking this job was a mistake. You have opened up an old wound and this is just the beginning.”

“ I am going to have to stop you right here. First, I am your boss not your buddy from back in the day so you are going to have to take a step back and show some respect. Second, you have the nerve to talk to me about making mistakes knowing that you ruined my life not too long ago.

“ She didn't sleep last night. That's why she got injured today. I am worried about my friend.”

“ You should have thought about your friend 4 years ago.” you say as you enter the medic’s room leaving her behind.

You found alexia with tape on her knee and achilles. Her eyes were closed so she didn't see you come in and sit next to her.

“ I am willing to talk about that night this time only. Say everything you need but once I leave this room you are never going to bring it up again.”

The only way to make it out is through. You thought.

⋆⭒˚｡⋆ how to reset your life in 1 hour (the micro-reset guide) ⋆⭒˚｡⋆

hi lovelies, mindy from @glowettee here !!

sometimes i feel overwhelmed and stuck, so i specifically created this routine whenever i just need to reset my life quickly. here's how i do it in one short post <3 - mindy

key points:

step 1: declutter one space (10 minutes): clear your desk, purse, or phone notifications. a small, clean space = a fresh mindset.

step 2: move your body (15 minutes): stretch, dance, or go for a walk to shake off mental cobwebs.

step 3: hydrate and snack (10 minutes): grab water and a nourishing snack to refuel.

step 4: brain dump (15 minutes): write down everything on your mind (to-dos, worries, ideas) and organize it into priorities.

step 5: do one productive task (10 minutes): pick a small, achievable task and get it done. finishing something boosts confidence and momentum.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 Epilogue

And here's finally the loooong last part of this comic project! It's a weird feeling to finally reach the end, after all these months. But I'm especially proud of how these pages turned out! ^.^ They somehow look so much better compared to all the others! As I already mentioned this is a collaboration with my friend MoonflowerSong. Actually, it is thanks to her that this part even exists, as she was the one to got me into this shipping with her wonderful Yashita Fanfictions! She helped me immensely with this part when I was struggling (I'm better at dramatic stuff than fluff tbh ^^'). So, while the art was done by me, the whole script behind this part is her work, apart from some tiny adjustments/additions. So I want to thank her one more time for that, and give another shoutout for her works! I'm gonna put a link to her AO3 profile at the bottom, go check her works out if you're interested, they're super sweet! Also again, and sadly for the last time, I want to express my gratitude to everyone reading, liking and/or reblogging this project, especially the ones who left comments!! I don't think I would have come this far without the motivational boost from you, as usually my motivation to work on longer project drains very quickly. So, thank you so much for joining and supporting me on this ride! <3 <3 I am glad that there is some people who enjoyed this random story idea! Though, this will not be my last post for Death Mark for sure! I will draw more art for this fandom, just no comic anytime soon, I need a break after this one. xD

Sooo, after all this rambling, about this part: Yashiki and Mashita have finally become a couple, hooray!! I think the comic explains it all, but to be sure here's a quick summary: Yashiki has had feelings for Mashita for a while, but wasn't aware of them. Though, when he was under the Departed's curse, locked inside his own thoughts in some kind of semi-conscious state, he had a lot of time to think about himself and his life. After he started sensing the emotions of his friends around him when they visited him in the hospital - especially Mashita's - Yashiki became aware of these feelings and finally figured out their meaning, while also realizing how similar they felt to what he picked up from Mashita. After yashiki woke from the coma and was recovered enough, he felt the need to talk about it with Mashita as soon as possible. After all this time he had spent thinking about how to confess to him, Yashiki wanted to get these words out before he'd loose his confidence.

In the end, neither of them realized they had been watched the whole time by two nosy teenagers. Keeping the change in their relationship a secret will be impossible now, as I'm sure the news will spread quickly among the Mark Bearers. xD I actually had planned to give Daimon a last appearance here, catching the girls spying and shooing them off. But this part already got longer than anticipated and this actually seemed to be a good point to end it on, so I left it there.

Thank you again for reading! Hope you all have a nice week! I will be back, probably next weekend, with new Death Mark art.

Thanks for taking a look! :)

Link: MoonflowerSong on AO3

[Personal thoughts/review on this project: I am amazed how much drawing this comic has helped me improve my art skills in several fields! It might not be visible for some, but I clearly feel the change. I can really recommend to give it a try, especially artists who are struggling to improve! Not only does it keep you in a drawing routine, but it also forces you to go out of your comfort zone for some poses or perspectives you want to depict. And lastly it is also very fun and satisfying to get a story idea onto paper and see the results! ^^]

20 things Eris tells Azriel VS what they mean

@azrisweek day 4: Read between the lines

Pairing: Azris

Warnings: Sexual terms

“It’s raining today...”

I’m thinking we should stay inside and cuddle with the dogs

2. “Shut up.”

Usually, he means it. But when it’s said during… bedroom activities, Eris Vanserra telling him to shut up usually means : “Your voice turns me on so much that I’ll cum right here and now if you keep talking.”

3. “What are you doing?” (When Azriel is busy doing something. For example, paperwork for Rhysand.)

I’m bored and I need you to give me some attention.

4. “How’s your family doing?”

How’re Nyx and Nesta doing? I couldn’t care less about the other idiots and I’m going to roll my eyes hard if you bring anyone else up.

5. “You look like shit.”

You look as if you haven’t slept in days, and I’m truly worried about you. However, I don’t want you to take my concern as pity, so instead I’m insulting you.

6. “The dogs have missed you.”

I’ve missed you.

7. “Leave me alone.”

Please, stay.

8. “Make me.”

You actually don’t have to make me. I’d willingly do anything you ask me without hesitation. I just want to be an asshole for fun, to test limits. ;)

9. “I’m not tired.” (Bonus when he stifles a yawn)

I haven’t slept more than three hours in a row for days.

10. “I’m starting to get sleepy…” (When they’re both reading on the couch late at night)

Please carry me to bed.

11. “I sleep just fine without you.”

I want you by my side in my bed every night for the rest of my life. I only sleep well if I’m by your side. That’s because I feel protected when you’re around.

12. “Let’s take a bath, you stink.” (When Azriel comes back from a mission)

I want to bathe together so I can undress you and see for myself that you’re not hurt.

13. “I love you.”

So much so that I’d let the world burn if you’d ask me to.

14. “It’s been a long day.”

I want you to serve us some wine and snacks while I tell you all about my shit day.

15. “Please.” (With a snarl)

If you don’t do it, the next step is me biting you.

16. “I’ve been thinking…”

I’ve been plotting this for weeks.

17. “Dance with me.”

Let me be close to you, touch me, and let me touch you.

18. “Fancy a game of chess?”

I want to beat you at chess to feel in control and to boost my confidence.

19. “Guess what I’ve learned today.”

I’m about to gossip/yap your ears out for the next few hours.

20. “This color really suits you...”

I’m about to add twenty more outfits in this color to your wardrobe because you look biteable in it.

Azris taglist: @g00seg1rl

Hi finnie! Sorry to bother you but u was wondering if you could write something for young Justice Riddler from your list maybe 15 and 51? He is just a cutie! Sorry I don't send request a lot! (≡^∇^≡)

Young Justice!Riddler x Fem!Reader, word count: 719 oooooooh yes please!! these are perfect for him, get ready for some nervous first time eddie!! 💚 request info • prompt list • send me a request • kofi • masterlist minors DNI!! 🔞 cw: virginity loss, reader has a vagina but no gendered terms are used, first time sex, nervous eddie

"You're ok with this, yeah?"

As you straddled Eddie's waist, it only then occurred to you that he hadn't replied as confidently as you would have liked when you asked him if he wanted you to be on top. Rather, he'd offered a nervous nod, a stammered 'yes' and then a sharp inhale that never seemed to come back out.

You'd shifted out from underneath his weak grip on your sides, then pushed him gently down onto the mattress, taking care to lift his glasses gently from his face and place them carefully next to the bed. He'd been so willing, so pliant, and you worried about whether he felt like he was just going through the motions.

"If it's not ok, Eddie, we can wait and try again some other time. I really don't-"

"No! No, no. Please, no. I want this to happen. I think I need this to happen. I just... I was nervous. I am nervous."

With a slight giggle, intended to be warming and reassuring rather than patronising, you sat up straight. As you moved, you brushed past his cock, twitching against your body as his eyes closed tight.

"Why are you so nervous?"

One of your hands rested on his abdomen, almost keeping him steady as he trembled with nerves. The other moved up his torso, fingers walking towards the tiny patch of hair on his chest before stopping to stroke it delicately. He couldn't help but smile as he made out the pattern your finger was moving it. A question mark, drawn over and over again as he spoke.

"I don't want to get it wrong."

"What do you think you're going to get wrong, Eddie? You're the Riddler. You don't get things wrong."

That little boost of confidence seemed to have done wonders for him as he reached his slightly quivering hands up and placed them on either side of your waist.

"I'm just worried about... I've not quite practised enough... bucking my hips. I wanted to get it perfect for the first time."

"Ah... did you receive bad feedback from someone else?"

He glanced to the side, lips pressed tightly shut. Somehow, everything fell into place, and you reached your hand to his cheek, stroking against his pointed sideburns and feeling the heat from the deep, red flush on his skin.

"Oh, Eddie. You mean your first time?"

Eddie nodded bashfully, his whole body seeming a shade pinker than it had moments ago. Your own body seemed warmer too, the idea that you were going to be important to Eddie, someone who was in turn so important to you, caused your heartbeat to rise steadily, your blood heating as you began to subconsciously grind your hips a little against him.

"Come here, you sweet little thing. You don't have to be embarrassed."

You helped him shift upright slightly, leaning into him and bringing his face to your bare chest, holding it close as you played with the longer hair at the nape of his neck.

"Of course not. This is actually a bit of a turn on."

"R-really?"

There was a hesitance in his voice, as though he couldn't quite believe that you might be telling the truth. But as you brought one hand from him and helped to position his head against your now desperate cunt, he realised he might have to take your word for it.

With only a smile and a subtle bite of your lip, you began to ease yourself back and forth on his cock, feeling it throbbing against your walls as he quickly tore his hands away from you and found the sheets, clutching them with whitening knuckles and reddening fingertips.

"Are you ok, Eddie? Is this pace good for you?"

He could only nod, he feared that opening his mouth might make him whine, and whining might make him lose control, and losing conrol meant that the tiny bit of restraint he had in him would snap and his quickly formed orgasm would be released.

No, he could hold out, just a little bit longer, if only to make sure he could take it for just a little bit longer the next time.

God, he hoped there would be a next time. Practice was the only way he would get better, after all.

The Extrovert and the Introvert(Kalim Al-Asim x Reader)

Gender neutral reader, referred to as Y/N or Prefect!

Warnings!:

Symptoms of panic attack(ex.: labored breathing, nausea)

Little bit of negative self talk

THE GLUTTON GRIM IS >:( (love him still, he baby)

Possible spelling mistakes, I didn’t proof read it when I transferred it 💀

Word count:

Approximately 2.8k

Kalim was the polar opposite from you it seemed, he was outgoing, friendly with everyone, and loved parties, a convivial type of person, but you liked him for that, finding it fascinating how he just got along with anyone and everyone, watching from the sidelines.

The moments you and him hung out alone were never boring, and he brought a boost of confidence to your being when talking to new people. But you only ever felt like that when around him.

Ironic, the introvert and the extrovert. But, it worked out. Kalim considered you a close friend, and you considered him that as well, but it ran deeper than that, didn’t it?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

You never were a big party goer at all, not here, and not back in your world. You preferred to stay at home and just watch shows while snacking and playing games on whatever device you deemed fit. Sometimes you missed those quiet moments, especially in certain times like these…

The music booms loud on the stereos, people dancing away to the beat of the music, even a conga line formed of random students paraded the middle of the dance floor. Jamil is stressed out himself as he stocks up the snack tables with newly made food items, running back and forth between the kitchen, and all while keeping an eye on Kalim(poor Jamil). Kalim invited you to everyone of his parties, but you elegantly declined by saying you had to study, or that you had some job to do that Crowley gave you. But, Ace being the stupid guy he is, asked at lunch if you were going to the party. In all truth, you honestly didn’t really want to come, but when Grim heard the word “food” fall from Ace’s mouth, he was all in, and gave you the cute puppy dog eyes(kitty cat eyes?) until you reluctantly said yes to attending.

“Oh! Prefect, I think you’ll like this! It’s a specialty of the Scalding Sands! It’s amazing, try!” He beams happily as he hands you another plate with food.

Luckily Grim munches up most things on your plate, you weren’t really hungry, in fact, you were already starting to get overstimulated from the loud drums of whatever song was playing.

A headache starts to form quickly as people shout. Kalim smiles wide at you before he goes off to interact with the next group of people.

What times was it now? How long have you been here? Only 15 minutes…time couldn’t go by any slower, could it?

“Grim? You done? I think we should head out, we probably have something to study for—“

“Henchhuman, look at all the food! Can’t just leave it!”he interrupts you.

“Grim—“

“Eat now, talk later!” He hums as he stuffs his cheeks full of what seemed to be baklava and various other items.

Your head pounded even more now, and you found it a bit harder to breathe, and also a nauseating feeling starting to build up. Grim will be fine, you just need to get some fresh air and then maybe things will get better.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Navigating through the crowd is difficult, people bump into you from your left and to your right, always knocking you into someone else, causing you to have to apologize time and time again. Your breathing begins to get a bit more labored and your vision a little blurry.

You don’t realize as you walk that you’ve somehow ended up in the middle of the room, people glancing at you with questioning looks. You swallow thickly and you feel your breathing begin to quicken even more.

You shouldn’t have come. You shouldn’t have come, look at them all staring at you, you need to get out—

A hand touches your shoulder gently, causing you to jump.

You turn your head…It’s Kalim.

“Prefect? You seem a little out of it, here, follow me, I know a quieter spot.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Kalim acts like an airhead most times, and truthfully, he is, but he wasn’t that stupid. He can tell when something seems wrong with the people he cares about, I mean he literally has over 30 younger siblings, him being the oldest of the bunch, so he has some experience in telling whether someone is doing fine or not. Of course he does lack most basic social cues, but he tries his best to understand.

He quietly leads you out to the hallways of Scarabia, the cold, night desert air blowing gently, shocking you back into reality. He keeps a hand on your shoulder as he leads you further and further away, the obnoxious belabor of the music fading into just a faint murmur.

“Prefect, are you ok? Do you need anything? I can go get it for you.” He says, his eyes unusually shaped with worry.

You clear your dry throat as you finally begin to calm down. How embarrassing, completely and utterly embarrassing. Having a panic attack at a party—

“Prefect? You with me still?” Kalim shakes your shoulder gently. You look into his eyes and take a breath in.

“I’m, ok. I guess.” You murmur out. Kalim sighs and he smiles again.

“Good! Hey, I’ll be back, I’ll go get you a water.” He hums as he quickly leaves.

You sigh and you rub your temples, leaning against the wall. Tears prick the corner of your eyes but you quickly wipe them away with your sleeves. Phew, finally away from the party.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Kalim comes back a few minutes later, holding a water bottle and…another plate of food.

“I didn’t know what you wanted.” He sighs as he looks at the stuff. He sits down on the ground, waiting for you to do the same, which you do. You look at him.

“Water, here.” He pushes a water bottle into your hands.

“Oh, do I need to open it for you? I usually have Jamil open mine—“

Was he serious?

“I got it, thank you, though.” You murmur out as you crack the bottle open and sip on it.

“What happened? Ah, I mean, if you wanna tell me.” He stammers. He looks concerned. You look into his eyes again and quickly shift your gaze over to look at a potted plant in a corner that is seemingly more interesting at the moment.

“I guess…I just had a panic attack? I’m not a huge fan of uh…parties.” You whisper out.

You look back over at him nervously, I mean, you just told the guy who loved parties you basically hated going to the plethora of ones he hosted and that you avoided them by fabricating up assignments, but he didn’t seem sad, or disappointed at all.

Kalims eyes softened and he scoots closer to you, hugging you.

“Sorry, prefect. I didn’t know that. How stupid of me! I don’t like seeing you sad, actually I love seeing you smile so, don’t feel bad! I don’t want any of my friends to be sad…especially not you.” He mumbles, the last part of his sentence more so of a whisper to himself. He pulls away and smiles again.

“Maybe I’ll host just a tiny party later on? Would that work?” He beams.

I don’t know if he understood the part of “you not being a huge fan of parties,” but a less crowded one you could probably deal with…I suppose there was really no way of changing his nature.

“Yea, that sounds good.” You sigh as you fidget with the water bottle in your hands. Kalim bounces slightly and smiles wider.

“Awesome! Hey, while Grim binges out, would you maybe wanna go for a carpet ride?” He whispers with a smirk on his face.

“Maybe it’ll help to clear your head a bit more!”

Your eyes go a little wider and you look at him. One stressful situation and now he’s trying to put you into another one? This guy…

“Do you trust me?” He murmurs as he takes one of your hands in his.

Do you trust him? Of course you do. He gives you a pout, his pleading sparkling eyes swaying you instantly.

“I…sure. Yes, I trust you, Kalim.” You stammer out. You take a breath and watch as he jumps up, pulling you up next. He grips your hand in his and drags you to the treasury where the carpet usually was, all while humming a tune happily

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Kalim gets on the carpet and holds out his hand to you. You take it and he helps hoist you up.

“All good?” He asks as he looks at you expectantly. You nod and you scoot more towards the middle of the carpet. Kalim sits up front closer to the edge, smiling wide.

He looks back at you, watching you as you hold onto whatever your hands can grip for dear life. “You can trust carpet. He’s good at this.” He giggles. And then—

You squeeze your eyes shut as the carpet descends into the starlit sky, going higher and higher, the wind picking up and ruffling your clothes and hair. “I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die,” is all you can think at the moment, and even opening your eyes just a sliver was a scary thought. But, you’re pulled from your thoughts quickly as you feel a pair of arms wrap around you, and you instinctively wrap your arms back around him.

“Don’t you dare close your eyes. Look! It’s pretty, believe me, perfect.” He laughs. You crack one eye open, then the other, and now? You can’t even blink.

The stars twinkle brightly, practically smiling down upon you two as the carpet glides seamlessly through the air. The moon’s celestial light gracing and bathing each of your features with a silvery glow. You slowly relax and loosen your grip from around him.

The desert below looks so small now compared to the large, jet black sky that sparkled.

“Woah…” is all you can manage to choke out.

“I know, right? Glad you trusted me, Y/N…” he smiles softly

“It’s like…a, a whole new world.” You whisper.

All of it was an ethereal sight, and, who knew how bucolic the sky could be up so close? You’d never take this for granted, that was for sure.

You turn your head back and smile widely at Kalim, the weight of what happened being lifted off your shoulders. His smile widens as well and he bounces up and down again.

“There! You smiled again! Good, good! Welcome back, prefect!” He exclaims, gesticulating just how happy he was with big gestures of his arms, which in turn, caused the carpet to move a bit, sending you to hold onto him again.

He laughs heartily and looks you in the eyes, his smile fading into a softer one.

“I’m sorry about earlier again. I know Grim dragged you there but, I never really thought you didn’t want to be there, I was just happy you were. Just me being stupid as usual, right?” He sighs, shaking his head.

“It’s not your fault. It’s mine, really, for not doing well in those settings—“

“Hey, don’t say that. It’s not your fault. It’s far from yours!” He scolds, though his voice lacks any bite to it.

“It’s just who you are. I’ll try and be better, I promise, be more considerate. I have been getting better! Jamil thinks so, but, it’s hard to tell with him.” He purses his lips, looking over at the moon.

“I’m like you, too, opposite, though. I’m nervous when I’m alone, instead.” He chuckles solemnly. He looks back at you.

“Ahhh…there I go again.” He grumbles. “Anyways, we should go back before Grim worries where you are.” He hums.

You don’t think Grim is the most bothered by any of this, I mean, the guy has got a whole table full of food, he’s definitely content. Tough, Jamil probably is the more worried considering how long Kalim has been out of his sight. Gotta feel bad for the guy.

Kalim shifts away from you and takes hold of the tassels on the carpet. He looks back at you again.

“Hold on!” He guffaws. You take that as a sign to scramble behind and wrap your arms around him.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The descent down was…scary…but you both were alive. Kalim walks happily with a pep in his step as you both make your way back to where the party was being held. You pause just outside the large double doors as Kalim goes to open them. He flashes you a small smile and heads in, leaving you alone.

A few minutes later an exasperated Jamil exists through the door, holding grim by the scruff.

“Take him and leave.” He sighs as he pushes Grim into your arms.

“And, if you leave somewhere with Kalim, for the love of the seven, please tell me first.” He huffs, face palming.

“Have a goodnight. Be safe.”He murmurs before going back to hold down the fort.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As soon As you got back to Ramshackle, Grim was out like a light from having eaten too much. He curled up on the edge of the bed as usual, leaving you to get ready for bed yourself, silently slipping into your sleepwear.

You get into bed, the sweet lull of peaceful dreams pulling you to sleep.

Tap. Tap. Knock.

You flutter your eyes open and look over at your window anxiously, but it’s the furthest thing from anything scary. It’s Kalim. You get out of bed and flip up the locks on your window.

“What are you doing here?” You whisper. Kalim was seated on his carpet just outside your window.

“I wanted to check on you again. You’re better now, right?” He whispers back.

How sickeningly sweet of him.

“I’m doing better. Thank you. The carpet ride really helped to…calm me down.” Your eyes meet his. He places his hands on the windowsill and moves in closer.

“Good. Honestly, I don’t know why I came. I couldn’t go to sleep without knowing you were going to be ok just one last time. Weird isn’t it?” He sighs.

“Also, Jamil got mad at me.” He frowns. “If you got some backlash from him I’m sorry. Not intended!” He pouts. You chuckle and shake your head.

How cute.

“Jamil just told me to warn him next time. And, thanks for worrying about me…still. It’s sweet of you, but I’m ok now.” You smile. Your hand gently sitting atop his as an extra added bonus of reassurance. “You sure you came here just to check on me, though? You could have just messaged me, y’know?” You giggled.

He looks at you surprised for a moment but then chuckles, his cheeks dusted with a faint hint of pink as he glances away.

“Slipped my mind. You know me.” He chortles. He shakes his head and looks back at you.

“I’m glad you’re, ah, ok.” He sighs. “I guess goodnight then?” He purses his lips. “Goodnight, Kalim. And, no crowded parties for me.” You chuckle.

Kalim chuckles along with you and nods. There’s a comfortable silence between you two as you just gaze at each other.

Who knows what takes over, but you lean in and kiss his cheek gently. AHHHHH, OK, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT!! ABORT, ABORT!

You pull away, your cheeks redder than a tomato at this point.

“I- that…why did I do that? Kalim, I’m sorry that was—“ you stammer but then stop as you look back at Kalim who is as red as you. You feel the guilt start to build up.

“Now I know why.” He murmurs out, his eyes wide. You look at him confused, guilty, embarrassed, all of the above, expecting him to push you away but—

“It makes sense why my heart speeds up when around you now. I thought it was just because I finally found a good friend but…it runs deeper than that.” He whispers. His eyes soften as he looks at you.

“Look at me being stupid again! I would have planned a much nicer venue, or maybe have something cute prepared at least or just something to confess…” he pouts. He moves his hands and holds onto yours.

“I like you, perfect.” He states, proudly, too.

You’re baffled. Robbed of words. Lost. Was this happening? Hello, pinch me, if this is some sick messed up dream this is super unfair!

He squeezes your hands gently again, looking down at them intertwined, running his thumb over your knuckles. You clear your throat and hold his hands back.

“I like you, too.” You murmur out. Kalim looks back into your eyes and sighs. He giggles happily and moves your hand to his heart which is beating oh so rapidly.

“I like you. A lot. Too much. Ahhhhh, I’m happy.” He says all giddy. He laughs breathily and moves to hug you tight, burying his face in your neck.

“So…this means?” You murmur out as you hug him back. He simply nods. (Give him a few moments, it’s a lot to process.)

He pulled away, his eyes glossy. Was he seriously crying?

“I have to tell Jamil, this’ll be—“

“Ah…maybe not yet, Kalim.”

Idek what I was on when I wrote this…enjoy anyways, LOL. Anyhow…how many references did I make to Aladdin in this? Just a small trivia question if you feel like answering :D

Also we’re getting hit with a snowstorm so I have more time to write!!!

Jikook Week 74 Complete (06/05-13/05/2025)

Jikook have finalized their 74th week in the military and it's time to look back at this week in 2015. BTS had released The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 1 on 29th April and were doing the rounds of the music shows promoting I Need U and Boys with Fun. This is the uncut MV released on 10/05 (the version released on 29/04/15 was cut to meet censor age requirements).

youtube

On 06/05/15, BTS appeared on Show Champion. Here they are performing Boy with Fun with jikook in pastel blue and green.

youtube

There are a couple of behind the scenes videos from the show. In the first one Jimin and JK talk about Jimin's abs and JK's interest in boxing and in the second one JK shares his shaved ice with Jimin.

The next day (07/05) they appeared on M Countdown and garnered their second music show win for I Need U.

youtube

The members were so hyped about that win and the one at The Show two days earlier. Taehyung can't stop kissing the camera, Namjoon is lit from within finally seeing their hard work paying off, JK is bouncing and full of love for ARMY and Jimin is overcome with gratitude and determined to continue to work hard.

youtube

The good news didn't stop there. The next day (08/05) they won again on Music Bank and they went on to win a total of five music show trophies with I Need U.

Watching this it's clear that the release of The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 1 really was a turning point for the group and a boost to their spirits and confidence. What is also clear is the amount of time Jimin and Jungkook were spending together on and off stage. The joint selca era was well underway.

Post Date: 11/05/2025

please bestie, we need the next chapter of just tired 🫡

Here's the next chapter! Thank you for sending me this as it gave the inspiration to finish the chapter. Not edited in the slightest and I hope you like it!

Summary: You give Melissa a confidence boost on Sunday but it all crashes down on Monday after the school day.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 Part 16 Part 17 Part 18 Part 19 Part 20 Part 21 Part 22 Part 23 Part 24 Part 25 Part 26 Part 27 Part 28 Part 29 Part 30 Part 31 Part 32 Part 33 Part 35 Part 36 Part 37

Just Tired - Part 34

Warnings: Manipulative Relationship, Smut, small part of violence

Words: 3.3K

“So I decided on which bed frame to get and was wondering if you’ll come with me to pick out a new mattress?” Melissa asks you.

“When?” You ask.

“Right now.”

“Right now? I thought this was a relaxing Sunday?”

“It is a relaxing Sunday, we’re looking at mattresses, not working or be out all day. We’ll be gone for 3 hours max, as long as we’re able to pick one quite quickly.” She tells you and you quirk an eyebrow at her before you sigh.

“Alright, I guess.” You say and she smiles.

Half an hour later you’re standing in front of the mattresses and Melissa is looking at all of them with a confused expression.

“So what kind of mattress do you want?” You ask her.

“I don’t know, I don’t know the differences.” She says and then a worker comes up to you both.

“Do you two need any help?” He asks you both.

“Yes, I want a new mattress.” Melissa says to him.

“Is it a mattress for the both of you or just you?” The worker asks.

“Just me, or, well we do actually seem to be sleeping in the same bed a lot.” Melissa says and you look at her.

“Because I’m staying at your house while I heal and you can’t sleep in your current bed.” You tell her like it’s obvious.

“Well ya but I’m sure we’ll end up sharing a bed even after you heal.” She says and you can’t deny that she’s right.

“You have a point but this is your mattress, you’ll be sleeping on it every night, so it’s completely your decision.” You tell her and you see her bite her lip.

“I don’t know a thing about mattresses or even what I like, I just went with what Joe wanted.” She says to you.

“Well I can help with that, I can ask you some questions and I can show you some mattresses that will be the best for you based on your answers.” He tells her and she nods before he asks her questions. “And this is the 5th option.” He tells her as he shows her another mattress and goes into the explanation about it. She then tries it out and you look at her face for her reaction.

“Oh, I like this one. It feels soft and firm at the same time. The one I have now, the one Joe picked is too firm, kinda feels like sleeping on a brick.” Melissa says and you snort.

“Well if you want this one then you can have it, pick whichever is your favourite.” You say and you can see the struggle in her eyes and you look at the worker. “Can you give us a minute, please?” You ask him.

“Of course.” He says and then leaves.

“Melissa, what’s wrong?” You ask her.

“I don’t fully know. I was so excited about finally being able to have things my way, but now I don’t know what I want.” She says.

“You’re just scared because it’s different, it can be hard to accept that you can have the life you want and not what Joe wanted. But listen, you told me that the kitchen you had full control over, right?” You ask and she nods. “Well the kitchen is the best decorated room in the house.” You say and she smiles. “You do know how to make decisions about what you want. Your decisions aren’t going to get shut down and rejected. The five mattresses that you tried are the five that he said are the best based on your answers. Which one is your favourite?” You ask and she thinks about it for a few seconds.

“This one, the one I just tried.” She says, a little bit nervous.

“You seem a bit nervous about it.” You tell her. “There’s no right or wrong answer, it’s the one that you feel is the most comfortable.” You say and she straightens her posture.

“I want this one.” She says proudly and you smile.

“Ok, this one it is then.” You say and she smiles at you before you get the worker back.

“I want this one.” Melissa tells him and he nods.

“So the mattress and the bed frame will both be delivered next Saturday?” You ask her once you get home and she nods as she holds the door open for you.

“Ya, the first things to make the bedroom how I want it.” She tells you. “And I want to thank you for helping me today.”

“It’s not a problem, you deserve to take back your life and not feel bad about it.” You say to her as you sit on the couch.

“Well what do you say if next weekend we go shopping for things to have in the room?” She asks you.

“Shouldn’t you go through the things in the room first? Maybe burn or destroy a few things that are Joe’s?” You ask her.

“I already looked for anything that might be his but he took all of his things.” She tells you. “But I should probably get all the furniture first.” She says as she puts on her glasses and looks at the list of things she wants to change. “So I want new nightstands, a vanity table and a new dresser.” She reads.

“How do you have the money for all of this?” You ask her and she looks at you.

“Well first of all I only have the bills to pay for and no rent or house payments as it’s already paid off. And remember that Joe has to give me monthly payments? I was going to use it for therapy but using the money to make the house my own is therapy enough right now.” She explains. “Also I’m selling all the current furniture to people and I sold my wedding and engagement ring.” She adds and you hum. “So, do you want to sit on the counter while I make dinner?” She asks and you nod.

“It’s amazing.” You tell her as she got you to taste test the sauce and she smiles. “What do you think of this vanity table?” You ask her and show her the one you found.

“Hmm, too white. I was thinking more beige wood looking.” She says and you nod before you look at more. “Open up.” She tells you and you open your mouth and taste something else.

“Amazing like always.” You tell her and she gives you a kiss. “My favourite flavour.” You say and she smiles before she goes back to continue cooking.

“You’re a charmer.” She says and you smile.

“Ok, what about this one?” You ask her and show her another vanity table. She looks at it and takes your phone.

“I actually really like it. Send me the link.” She tells you and you nod before sending it to her.

“So how are you feeling now? I mean you got a new mattress and bed frame, you’re getting a vanity table like you always wanted and you said you want to look a nightstands and dressers next weekend.” You say.

“It’s freeing, like a huge weight has been taken off. I’m reclaiming my life.” She explains and you nod. “But it’s not just about the furniture. You’ve shown me how much more there is to life and you gave me the confidence I need to go after what I want.” She says as she puts food on the plates. “Joe took most of my confidence away, he kept telling me that I was lucky that he was with me as no one else would want to be with me. Then you came into my life and showed me how that isn’t true in the slightest. He never did anything I wanted to do and you’ve gladly done everything I wanted to do with me. I get to do what makes me happy and not what makes him happy and there’s honestly no better feeling then reclaiming your life, and I have you to thank.”

“Melissa, I just showed you how but it’s been you that’s been doing it all. You keep going and keep having all these experiences that you want.” You say as she gets you down from the counter.

“Yes but you keep motivating me to keep taking my life back and to do what I want.” She says as you take your crutch and walk to the dinner table as Melissa brings the plates out.

At night you keep trying to get comfortable but it seems you can’t and Melissa is wondering what’s going on with you as you’re keeping her awake.

“What are you doing?” She asks.

“I think I’m too restless, I can’t get comfortable no matter what.” You tell her before you sit up. “Maybe if I walk to the bathroom and back, might get some energy out.” You say and grab your crutch. You come back to the bed a few minutes later and you’re still restless. “Ugh, because of this stupid accident I have too much pent up energy stored and now I can’t fa- oh my god.” You start complaining but Melissa slides her hand down your pj pants and immediately finds your clit.

“Maybe this will get you tired.” She says as she brings you right up against her and applies more pressure.

“So you’re…only doing this, to get me to…fall asleep?” You ask in between moans.

“I love touching you but at the moment it is more to get you to fall asleep as we have to get up in 7 hours.” She says and then pulls away and puts your right leg on her and she goes back and inserts a finger in your entrance.

“Oh my god!” You scream and then she inserts a second one and begins pumping. She moves her hand so her palm is rubbing against your clit and you feel your orgasm building quickly. You come with a gasp and Melissa wraps an arm around your shoulders and gets you to lay your head against her chest. She then starts humming as she strokes your head and it soothes you enough to fall asleep.

“Come on or we’ll be late.” Melissa says before she brings your things to your car as you get your jacket on.

“It’s 7am, I think it’ll be fine.” You tell her as you take your crutch and stand up from the couch and walk to her car. You both get to school and Melissa wheels you to the break room and Jacob wheels you to the table.

“You got your sling off?” Janine asks and you nod as you move your arm around.

“It feels so good not to have it against my chest all the time.” You tell them. “In 2 weeks they’re going to take the cast off and in 4 weeks they think they’ll be able to take my leg cast off.” You say happily.

“What are you going to do when both your casts are gone?” Jacob asks you.

“Well they told me that I can’t go overboard when they come off so I guess go on a small walk, although I’ll have to move all my stuff back home after, so I guess that’s a good enough workout.” You say and you see Melissa snap her head up as she was looking at her phone.

“I keep forgetting that you’re going back home when your casts come off.” Melissa tells you as she brings you to your classroom.

“Ya, although I’m enjoying being at your place.” You say and arrive at your classroom.

“I’m enjoying having you over.” She tells you with a smile before she goes to unlock her classroom.

At the end of the day you say goodbye to your last student and Melissa walks over to you.

“Ready to go home?” She asks you and you nod.

“You know I’m finally getting my class back on track to what they should be learning.” You tell her as she wheels you to the door and you then take your crutch and walk down the steps yourself.

“That’s good, the kiddos shouldn’t fall behind then.” She says with a smile and you nod.

“That’s the goal.” You tell her.

“Bye you guys.” Janine says as she passes you by and goes to Barb who’s waiting for Gerald.

“MELISSA!” Everyone hears and you and Melissa turn around to see Joe there. You look over to see Barb grab Janine’s arm and Jacob is about to get in his car.

“Get in the car.” She tells you and you look at her.

“I’m not leaving you to fend for yourself.” You say sternly.

“What do you want, Joe?” Melissa asks him.

“I think that court thing was totally unfair.” He tells her and looks at you. “What happened to you?” He asks.

“Car accident. We still don’t know what you want.” You tell him sternly.

“I don’t want to be giving you monthly payments.” He says to Melissa and you look to see Barb on her phone.

“The judge thought it seemed appropriate as you’ve been manipulating me for 25 years.” Melissa tells him.

“I still can’t believe you’re saying I’ve been manipulating you since we’ve met. How stupid are you?” He tells her and you can hear police sirens in the background.

“I think the stupid one is you as Melissa filed a restraining order against you and yet here you are breaking it.” You tell him and he glares at you.

“Don’t look at her.” Melissa tells him.

“Oh you seem very protective of her, I bet you’ve been screwing her too.” Joe tells Melissa.

“My life is none of your business anymore.” Melissa says and a police car pulls up to the parking lot.

“Who called the police?” Joe asks and looks at you and sees you holding your phone with your left hand. “Did you call them you bitch!” He asks you and walks up to you. Before he could do anything to you, Melissa punches him right in the nose, full force and he stumbles back, right into one of the cops. Everyone looks in shock at what just happened, including you. You look at Joe with wide eyes and mouth open as his nose starts bleeding and one of the cops gives him kleenex.

“We got a call about a restraining order violation for a joe.” One of the cops says and Melissa glares at Joe.

“He’s Joe, I filed it against him.” Melissa tells them and they bring him to the cop car after putting the cuffs on him. Everyone is still in shock at what just happened and Melissa walks over to you and puts an arm around your waist. “Are you ok?” She asks you and you look at her and nod.

“Are you?” You ask her and she nods before she lays her head on your chest as she watches as the cops pull out of the parking lot. “You protected me.” You tell her, still stunned, as she pulls away from you.

“Well, ya. Did you think I’d do nothing?” Melissa asks you and you see everyone walking over to you both.

“I don’t know, everything happened so fast.” You tell her.

“Melissa, are you alright?” Barb asks her.

“Ya, I’m fine, thanks for calling the cops.” Melissa tells Barb.

“That was your husband?” Janine asks.

“Soon to be ex-husband.” Melissa tells her. “He was mad that I got everything in the divorce.” She explains to everyone.

“You give one hell of a punch.” Jacob says, impressed.

“And don’t forget it, I’m someone you don’t want to cross.” She tells him. “Come on Y/n, let’s go.” She tells you and you look at everyone before you turn around. You walk to the passenger seat and Melissa opens the door for you like always.

“Want to talk about it?” You ask her while she’s driving home.

“There’s nothing to talk about.” She tells you flatly.

“Melissa-”

“I don’t want to talk about it.” She snaps at you.

“Ok.” You tell her and look out the window and you hear her sigh.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have snapped at you.” She says and you look at her.

“You don’t want to talk about it, I get it.”

“Would you stop saying you understand everything? You don’t understand anything about how I feel or what I’ve gone through.” She tells you sharply and you furrow your eyebrows.

“You’re right, I don’t, I only know what you’ve told me.” You say to her. “And I can never fully understand what you’ve gone through as I’ve never been in a manipulative relationship, or a relationship.” You tell her.

“You’re lucky you haven’t. I don’t think being in a relationship is worth it.” She says and you look at her in confusion. “Maybe I shouldn’t be in one again.” She adds and you look away from her.

“Does that mean you want to stop whatever situationship we have?” You ask her without looking at her and you hear her sigh.

“I don’t know. Thinking about being in a relationship right now is just painful, especially after I was just reminded of what I just escaped from. It seems whenever I think I can be happy again, something comes along and ruins it for me.” She says as she pulls up the driveway of her house. “First it was him not wanting to sign the papers, then seeing him at court, which caused us to have a fight and not talk for a week, then I won what I wanted from the divorce and then your accident happened, now as I’m trying to make my own life, this happens. Maybe I’m just not meant to be happy.” She tells you and you look at her.

“You deserve happiness.” You say and she looks at you with tears in her eyes. “Maybe you just haven’t found it yet.” You tell her. You know that she’s your happy ending but that doesn’t mean that you’re hers.

“Maybe.” She says and then gets out of the car. She helps you into the house and you immediately go to the bathroom. You look at yourself in the mirror and you wonder what you should do. You never thought that you might not be Melissa’s happy ending and you don’t know what to think about that. You think maybe it would be a good idea to pull back so Melissa can find her happiness. You look at yourself in the mirror again and see a few tears sliding your face. You decide to go to the bathroom as you need to go anyway and to give yourself a few minutes to just be sad.

Melissa is sitting on the couch while you’re in the bathroom and she’s just thinking about everything. Could it be possible that she just hasn’t found her happy ending yet? She was starting to think that maybe you were her happy ending but everytime she feels she can be happy with you, something blocks her. She knows she doesn’t want to let you go as you both tried that and you were both miserable, but maybe you two were just meant to be friends.

That night the both of you laid on the bed, as far away from each other as possible. Melissa looks over at you and sees you’ve fallen asleep and she sighs. She wonders how you couldn’t be her happy ending when you make her so happy, the happiest she’s ever been in her life, and the fact that she’s head over heels in love with you.

“You deserve someone who knows what they want, Y/n, and I don’t think I’m that person.” She says quietly before she gets comfortable and falls asleep.

post ausgp '25 thoughts 🏎

howdy y'all!

i had to get off tumblr last night following the shit show that was the australian grand prix. since taking some time to process, i have a lot of things i want to cover & yap about—

i was utterly gutted for isack

on that note, anthony hamilton consoling him almost had me in tears because isack really needed that

kimi p4! he seems like a promising talent and i hope that he continues to thrive this season. i will be rooting for him!

did george really know how he ended up as p3? or was he just there for the ride? either way, i was content for him. it definitely boosted his confidence from all the of negative media attention last year

ferrari fumbling their strategy? nothing has changed. i was a bit disappointed but it is the first race of the season!

lewis having the lead for just a moment brought me so much joy

the water radio moment nearly had me in tears. poor charles was drowning in that car—

on that note, glad to see that sassy charles has never left!

max pulling that tractor throughout the race and earning p2 was a miracle in itself

i hope pookie (max) can win a couple races this season and enjoy being a new father (happy for max and max only btw. he seems to really enjoy being a dad)

mclaren...

ohhhhhh mclaren... 🚬

although you swear up and down you don't prioritize one driver... it's clear who you favor more and zak brown when i catch you... when i catch you zak brown—

someone get mark webber on the phone. i can't bear it a second longer.

side note

can we discuss oscar's perseverance?

he was not going to dnf that race

i was happy he at least earned some points. the cheers from the home crowd nearly brought me out of my bed and on my feet

lance p6!!!! YEAHHHHH!!!

happy for lance but sad that peepaw (fernando) dnf'd

I NEED TO DISCUSS ALEX HOLDING OFF LEWIS FOR A MINUTE—

WHY HAS THAT NOT BEEN DISCUSSED MORE?

ALEX ALBON. THE DRIVER THAT YOU ARE. HELD OFF LEWIS FOR NEARLY THE ENTIRETY OF THE RACE.

LIKE DID PEOPLE FORGET HOW GOOD OF A DRIVER ALEX IS OR....???

ALBOINTS! ALBOINTS!

I WAS NEARLY IN TEARS

ALEX ALBON I LOVE YOU

FUCK RED BULL FOR TEARING YOU DOWN AND THROWING YOU AWAY!

i will forever be an alex albon apologist. same with lance. and same with esteban. some of y'all are so fucking cruel.

lando win (cool ig)

just to be clear i'm not mad at lando lmfao

i am mad that mclaren didn't let them race till the last possible fucking second

we truly went through all of that for a nor-ver-rus podium. it was borrrrrinnngggg until like the last 15 or so laps

the podium celebration was awkward and the new graphics are so ugly

that purple did not look good

lando's interview following the race was a wee bit too long imo

they could have spoken to the other drivers or something—

max was plotting something in the background of the george interview or he was disassociating (lmfao real max, real)

yuki tsunoda... it is our year. we will get you on the podium this year. i am so sorry vcarb and red bull keep fucking you over.

carlos seems to be so free now that he is at williams. the mf crashed and before i knew it, he was prancing around in the paddock with jeans and a smile

(i love his dynamic with alex btw)

NICO P7! THIS MF WON THEM MORE POINTS IN ONE RACE THAN THEY EARNED IN 2024

i am truly hoping that next week will be a better race. i want to see how the new rookies do!

also

i think this race showed us that mclaren is fast (fork found in kitchen) max is truly a hell of a driver, & that ferrari is the same as it's always been

the drivers i look forward to watching this season -> max, oscar, isack, yuki, nando, lance, lewis, pierre, charles, carlos, alex & esteban

who i think will win the chinese gp -> max verstappen

who will probably win the chinese gp -> *sighs* lando norris

who i WANT to win the chinese gp -> carlos sainz. i want him to succeed at williams so badly. williams constructor's this year with the alex + carlos duo. i can feel it in my bones. (i am delusional)

#k yaps about f1! 🏎#f1 #formula 1 #australian gp 2025 #australian grand prix #post race debrief 🏎#formula one #carlos sainz #alex albon #williams racing #max verstappen #yuki tsunoda #lance stroll

do you have any tips/resources for a beginner who wants to get into weightlifting?

thank you for asking!! I love this question. I love lifting! It's Good For You (helps increase bone density & metabolic rate, and it's good for injury prevention and developing functional strength). It's also a really great confidence boost. 10/10 would rec lifting to every single person reading this — if it's an option for you, give it a try.

TLDR: familarise yourself with common exercises. pick a beginner program. follow it. profit!

A more involved answer, with resources and details, is under the cut

familiarise yourself with common exercises

There are hundreds of possible exercises out there to target each specific body part. However, most of those are what's called "accessory" movements, as opposed to "basic" exercises that will pop up over and over in most lifting routines. Ideally, you want to know how to perform these movements, using light weights or just your bodyweight until you feel comfortable with it.

CORE BRACING (ft deadbugs. genuinely lifechanging skill!)

Squats.

Hip hinge. This is useful for deadlifts, romanian deadlifts, kettlebell swings & similar movements

Push movements (for example: dumbell chest press, shoulder press etc)

Pull movements (dumbell rows & many others)

That said. Please don't stress too much over "good form". Each exercise has infinite variations and especially as a beginner, you won't be lifting heavy enough weights to make form optimisation a big concern. All bodies are different and our individual stances vary a lot depending on body proportions, flexibility levels etc. You just want to know HOW an exercise is supposed to be performed, in terms of: which muscles it activates? what am I supposed to get out of it? how to do it safely? Your bodyweight squat doesn't have to be flawless, it just has to be good enough.

BTW, you know when I said that there are hundreds of possible exercises out there? Here is a very detailed masterlist + exercise guide for exercises impacting each muscle group.

learn your way around a weight room, if you aren't familiar with it already.

Broadly speaking: the free weights (bar, dumbells, kettlebells) are good for compound exercises that involve multiple muscle groups. The various machines are ideal for "isolation" exercises that target fewer specific muscle groups.

If you already know what's what, then skip this bit! But I've talked to many people who feel a bit intimidated by the weight room because they feel out of place in it, and in my experience familiarising yourself with the general layout is a good way to take away that discomfort.

And, in case this is something you need to hear: you deserve to be there, you're not taking space, and most gymgoers just want to finish their workout and shower, and won't pay specific negative attention to you. Most gyms have a weight room manager or floor trainer, at least during some shifts, and they WILL be happy to help you. If you're someone who doesn't want to be bothered while exercising, just preventively introduce yourself, say you're new

pick a program

I highkey recommend following a pre-made program instead of just fucking about on your own. Here's why

programs are well-balanced in terms of volume and muscle groups, to ensure you don't overtrain one body part and leave other lagging

they have a built-in "progression scheme" that will allow you to move to a higher weight in an optimal way — basically, you'll see strength advantages sooner

they help navigate information overload. There is SO much information about fitness out there that acts as an entry barrier. Following a pre-made program really helps with that.

If you have a gym membership, you may have the option of one "free workout program" made by a trainer who works at the gym. If that's in the cards, I'd recommend going with that.

Otherwise, I strongly recommend the "programs rec guide" over at r/xxfitness, the female fitness subreddit (the name is 15 years old but it's a queer friendly, trans inclusive space). I haven't personally done any of those, but Meg Gallagher of Before the Barbell is very solid, and that's the one I'd suggest.

get ready for DOMS

Also known as delayed onset muscle soreness. It happens 1) when you go to the gym after a while or start exercising for the first time 2) when you train a different muscle group than usual 3) when you up the intensity of a workout.

Basically, you wake up in the morning and you go OUCH!! ACHEY. That's DOMS. It happens because your muscle fibres are suffering microtears and reknitting (stronker!!) and you will feel very stiff and possibly very swollen (muscles retain water).

It'll take a few days for it to go away. IT IS SAFE TO EXERCISE THROUGH DOMS; the only thing limiting you is if you're too achy to move effectively. I recommend eating something protein heavy (more on that below) and doing some gentle exercise to make it go away faster (walking, at home-stretches or yoga, swimming if it's an option, etc.)

You DON'T want to stay in bed the whole time, because that'll only make you more stiff and make it last longer. Note that "post exercise achiness" is something that WILL go away after the first couple of weeks or so, depending on your recovery (again, gentle exercise and/or going to the gym again when you're still a bit achey is actually preferred than being completely at rest until they're fully gone away). Long term, you're NOT supposed to feel high-level soreness after working out. "No pain no gain" is mostly bullshit.

evaluate your program!

I'm always saying this, but the best exercise is the one you actually stick with. If your exercise plan is dull or fills you with dread, it doesn't matter how good for you it supposedly is — ditch it. Give yourself a few weeks of whatever program you pick, then re-evaluate: what are your favourite exercises you've done so far? Which ones you don't like? What would you like to do? Programs can and should be modified according to your preferences, and it's a lot easier to customise something that works for YOU once you're a bit more familiar with everything. For example, maybe someone at your gym is doing kettlebell swings and you think it's cool and you'd rather do those instead of crunches for your abs. Why not. Just note down what's working and what isn't, and then re-evaluate (with gym trainers if that's an option, but also, I mean it, HMU whenever).

odds and ends!!

None of these things are a big deal, but they make your life easier:

Hydrate during a workout. If you're hydrated your body works better. You'll also probably sweat during your workout. Getting through 1L of water during a 1 hour / 1 hour and a half gym session is perfectly normal.

Warm up before lifting. Something like this for a general body warmup + lighter warm-up series before going up to the weight you actually want to lift. For example: if you're squatting the bar (20kg) I'd do one bodyweight squats series, and another series holding a 10kg kettlebell or dumbell. Cool down or stretch after!

Mobility work on a day off is a good idea, even if you're no longer suffering through soreness. This is my current go-to routine, I do it about 2x week.

If possible, eat protein the evening / day after a workout. Protein is great for building muscle, and you WILL see a noticeable difference in energy level and speed of recovery by upping your protein intake. Basically: if you usually eat lentils or fish twice a week, try to make one of those times your post-gym dinner.

(In general, as a beginner you WILL see results regardless, and you don't need to optimise nutrition or anything (not to mention, it can be overwhelming / complicated to deal with.) But if you're interested in the specifics of nutrition & exercise, HMU)

keep track of your workouts! I really recommend this; it can be very inspiring to have a backlog you can look at when you want to track your progress, and you want to establish a benchmark with yourself. It can be as simple as writing down gym days & numbers in your journal if you have one; personally I use the Strong app to save my routines, and every week when I log in new workouts I modify the values depending on what weight and # of reps I hit that week. For reference, this is what a week looks like on the Strong app for me

IF I'VE MISSED ANYTHING SHOOT ME AN ASK.
