Chapter Twelve | Recovery and Discovery

There were few times a Borrower could sleep deeply without a care in the world. It wasn’t when they were children, because the fear of being caught by a human while asleep was a true waking nightmare. Like a crouching cat in the bushes waiting to ambush any and all unsuspecting prey, children rarely slept deeply once told about the world beyond the walls. It also wasn’t as an adult or after a big borrowing mission. It wasn’t in their older years and memory was fleeting as an infant.

There was too much in the world to be aware of. There were too many things to be apprehensive of.

Deep sleep was almost never an option, but it was a welcome one if the opportunity arose.

Now, thankfully, was one of those times. It could’ve been days and Ashlynn wouldn’t have known the difference. The Borrower woman opened her eyes and, for the first time in what felt like an eternity, she didn’t feel the sting of tiredness tugging at her lids. She stretched, careful with her injured arm, and stared up at the ceiling that towered high above her. It was still alarming, heart fluttering with what felt like air, but the interaction earlier with Soren and his two sons made her feel mildly at ease.

It was a weird sensation.

She still didn’t trust the boys implicitly, but at least there was some silent reassurance that she fell under the protection of Soren. Ashlynn closed her eyes, an image of Soren forming in her mind. A smile. His voice. Those eyes.

She swallowed and shook her head, and the image along with it.

Weird…

What else was weird was she didn’t wince when she swallowed. She reached up and felt along her jaw, noticing how it didn’t feel as swollen anymore. Palm to her head, it was cool to the touch, and the tingling of her bones and skin had also stopped.

Wow… that medicine really did the trick. I feel… great.

Ashlynn sat up and almost instantly regretted it when her vision swirled, and the sudden pang as her arm twinged reminded the Borrower she wasn’t completely up to snuff. Leagues better, but not recovered. There were still things she could do to help her heal, and a light rumble from her insides told her where to start.

Thankfully, Soren didn’t move the tray from earlier and the food was still where she left it. It took a moment to stand shakily on her feet on the uneven surface of the comforter. Each step gave in different ways, keeping the Borrower on her toes which, thankfully, she was feeling steadier on.

She sat near some of the bowls she was by earlier and decided to continue eating the soup and bread, seeing as that and the medicine were helping her kick the sickness in record time. She’d just managed to fill the bowl and mop up the sides with a spare piece of bread when she heard the signature *tap* *tap* *tap* on the frame of the door. Instinct took over as the Borrower’s eyes shot up toward the door.

“Sorry.” It was Soren, an apologetic look filling those golden, hazel eyes of his. “I didn’t mean to startle you. I just came to see if you needed anything. Well, that and my pillows. I stopped by a few hours ago, but you were knocked out and it felt rude to come in when you were asleep.” Ashlynn’s mouth felt like it was suddenly filled with cotton.

He was by earlier? And I didn’t wake up?! I must’ve been sleeping super deep then. At least he didn’t come in. That was really… sweet.

“Are you hungry? I could heat something up for you, or heat what you currently have. The boys and I already ate and were actually getting ready for bed. So, if you needed anything, I could go ahead and get it for you.” Soren’s thoughtfulness made Ashlynn’s cheeks warm, and she looked away bashfully as she thought about his question.

Then, she nodded.

“Okay, good. Um… do you want me to heat up what we had? Or just heat up some more soup? Wait… nodding. So, yes or no to the first?” asked Soren. Ashlynn shook her head. Her mind was made up on the so-called “magic broth” Soren had already made. His smile tugged at the corner of his lips playfully as he nodded. “So shall it be.”

In no time, Soren had returned with a fresh cup of soup and warm bread which he set on the tray after Ashlynn gave a cautious nod for him to approach. The steam rolled off of the top, and with it the pleasant scents of everything Ashlynn thought a home should be. She smiled and breathed deeply, realizing only now that she had her sense of smell back.

“You like that?” Soren asked. The Borrower nodded, flashing a smile up at him as she inhaled deeply again. “I can tell, and I can tell you’re feeling better too. You haven’t had a coughing fit once.” He was right. The sickness had finally met its match, and all thanks to a human.

Ironic. Expecting a human to be the source of my problems and here he is solving them.

“Well, I won’t keep you. Is there anything else bugging you? Need anything else before I go?” asked Soren. There was something, but how to communicate it was the trick. Ashlynn’s shoulder was still stiff and tender. If she wanted to leave, she needed it to be on the mend. She looked up sheepishly as she reached up and touched her slung arm. Soren’s keen eyes picked up the motion and understood instantly.

“Still hurting? Like a twinge or an ache plus stiffness? Or all of the above?” asked Soren. The Borrower woman nodded. The hope that she didn’t need to be grabbed or held to solve the problem was in the forefront of her mind, but if it would get her home sooner then it didn’t matter.

Soren will be gentle. If he needs to grab my arm, he’ll be careful.

“Alrighty then. Easy enough. You’re probably just feeling the tenderness of it being relocated. Is it numb or tingly still?” Ashlynn shook her head. “Good. That would be less than ideal. Um… okay. So, you’ll need to do some exercises and stretches to get it fixed completely. I’ll demonstrate on myself and then you imitate the motion.”

Soren began explaining a few of the baseline exercises that she could do to help stretch her twinging muscles. Rolling her shoulder gently. Slow arm extensions. Arm rotations. Shoulder shrugs. Anything for her to start getting rid of the tenseness in her muscles. He showed each motion clearly and made sure Ashlynn could do it and adjusted as necessary before moving on.

At some point, Ashlynn caught herself smiling as Soren continued to speak to her. There was just something soothing about his voice, like warm tea and honey which Ashlynn had only had a few times in her life.

“Also, don’t try and do too much all at once. I’ll venture a guess that you’re eager to get out of here, but rushing your recovery can do more damage to your shoulder. So, several smaller sessions would be better for you. Sound good?” suggested Soren. It felt reluctant, but Ashlynn forced a nod. He was right. She did want to get out of here as fast as possible. Being out in this massive room and unable to take care of herself entirely was a belittling experience. At least she wasn’t being treated like a child. Soren was good about that.

“Good. Then, if it’s okay, I’m going to snag my pillows and head out to the couch.” Couch? Isn’t this his bed? Wait… is he… Her confusion must have been evident on her face because Soren chuckled, hands placed on his hips while his head bobbed up and down. “Yes, technically that’s my bed, but it’s being used for something better than just sleeping. Kind of its own rehab center. Anyway, don’t worry about it. Worry about getting better and resting up. Do… you want to take more medicine? Feeling feverish or icky still?”

It was a lot to process. Which question to ever start with. As the Borrower went down the list of questions, she ended up with the same answer for all of them, and so she nodded. In no time, Soren was back with another small cup of that dark, minty teal liquid from before and some fresh water. He snagged his pillows before stepping up to the door and glancing over his shoulder.

“Need anything else?” he asked. How could I possibly need anything else? You’ve already thought of everything, and you’ve been so kind. I… I can’t begin to thank you. A strong part of Ashlynn wanted to tell him that, but that Borrower instinct choked out her voice. She wanted to thank him, but she only could muster a smile as she shook her head.

“Alrighty then. Goodnight little miss.” With that, Ashlynn was left once again alone in Soren’s room.

Is this a dream? Some weird fever dream from a nightmare? This shouldn’t be happening. I should be in a cage. I should be taped to a wall or locked in a box. I’m in a room – a human’s room – all to myself. I have food and a bed. This shouldn’t be happening. What makes Soren and his boys so different? Have they come across Borrowers before? Or… rather… has Soren?

Ashlynn sipped on the broth and chewed on the pieces of bread thoughtfully as she reflected on the past day. She was still uneasy. Nothing was likely to ever change that fact. This place was too big. Humans had no right to be as big as they were.

At the same time, were they so different?

Head. Hands. Heart. Dreams.

Humans had less to worry about, sure, but everything else was so similar.

Ashlynn finished her meal, eating until content, and once again curled up onto the bed with her back to the drawer. The medicine was already kicking in, making her head feel fuzzy and her eyes tired, even after sleeping for hours not long ago. Perhaps it was the medicine or the flurry of recent events, but Ashlynn found herself thinking about Soren. How nice his voice was. How kind he’d been. Those golden hazel eyes.

She felt her cheeks blush as her last thought entered her mind.

Too bad he isn’t a Borrower.

~~~^*^*^~~~

Time when sick is a funny thing. It drags on for an eternity, each passing second taunting the next, especially when there’s nothing to do.

This was not the case for Ashlynn.

The past two weeks had practically vaporized right before her eyes. She’d spent a fair amount of time sleeping, and she even spent time making a new set of clothes for herself seeing that the others had been mildly soiled by sweat and sickness.

She’d also taken time to make sure her arm was on the mend. The exercises were working wonders. Each day felt like an immense step forward. Ashlynn had even dared to do some test climbs from the top of the bed into the drawer, which Soren hadn’t removed in case she wanted a place to hide behind.

The tests had gone better than expected. Her arm was still tender, but she could place weight on it now without doubling over in agony. If she didn’t move too fast and wasn’t active for too long, she was fine. It felt thrilling, like her first borrowing mission. The thrill of her progress was overshadowed only by one thing – the prospect of leaving.

Ashlynn had to admit that, in some weird way, she was a bit sad that she was recovering as quickly as she was. Sure, the food helped, and never before had she slept so well, but it was leaving the boys that felt disheartening.

Their interactions were limited. Ashlynn made sure of that much. Still, Soren coming in and making sure she was okay felt good. She’d even permitted the boys to come in and say hello on multiple occasions. The youngest was probably her favorite of the two, and it wasn’t because of the gift he’d made for her, which was a kind of multi-tool rod that was lightweight like a walking stick with a fishhook super glued on one side for grabbing and a wedge on the other to hold a line. It was because of his questioning style.

He asked the most random, non-specific questions to Borrowers that she’d ever heard before. It was amusing to say the least. Weird things like whether or not she would want to be a dinosaur, which he explained to her in great detail, or if she liked different food because it was easier to chew since she was so small.

Dorian asked more direct questions, like if she liked climbing and how fast she thought she could climb different pieces of furniture. Other questions were concerned with where she liked to go and if she liked music. The questions were innocent enough, so that wasn’t it. It might have been because Dorian unintentionally caused her injury in the first place, but Ashlynn found herself a little more on-guard with the older of the two children.

What usually ended up happening was she spent time listening to the two boys. During the day, they went to a place called school and, when they returned, they wanted to tell Ashlynn all about the different things they learned and if she knew this or that. They held up maps and papers with scribbles all over them as they went on and on about the things they were being taught. It was adorable, especially when they tried to explain something that Ashlynn had no concept of.

At the end of the day, the Borrower woman decided these two kids were alright. Sometimes careless when they were excited, but alright all the same.

She also decided something else too, and that it was time to leave. She’d already spent too much time out in the open already.

Her arm felt almost completely healed, and her sickness had finally subsided a few days ago with not even a sneeze or a sniffle in sight. She’d have to take it easy with her climbing and borrowing activities, but deep-down Ashlynn felt like she could once again manage her life.

It was time.

She was hoping to be in and out of the drawer quickly to retrieve her belongings, but through a series of bad throws and needing a few resting periods it took longer than expected. She’d just managed to hoist her leg up on top of the drawer when she heard the all too familiar sound of the *tap* *tap* *tap* on the door.

Her heart skipped a beat, anxious worry nearly causing her to fumble and fall back onto the bed, before looking over and seeing Soren’s familiar face peeking through the crack. She wasn’t sure why, but guilt welled up in her throat. Her plan was to simply wait until night and the climb down the covers and onto the floor.

Seeing Soren, however, made her question her actions.

Was she really going to leave? Especially without saying goodbye? After all he and his sons had done for her?

Shoot. I… I can’t do that… not to him. Ashlynn sighed and jumped down from the edge of the drawer, glancing between Soren and her belongings at her feet.

The moment Soren spotted the small woman’s minute glance between him and the bag, he knew she was preparing to leave. She’d been on the mend and recovered from her dislocated arm in record time. If he was being honest, he was surprised she stayed as long as she did, and suddenly he felt his chest tighten ever so slightly.

“Hey there, little miss. Okay if I come in?” asked Soren. He watched as she shifted on the bed ever so slightly before nodding. He stepped into the room and walked slowly toward his dresser, which sat opposite of the side of the bed. It was involuntary, but Soren folded his arms and stared at the ground for a moment before bringing his eyes to look up at the miniscule woman. Her blue gray eyes were filled with confliction as she continued to glance between Soren and the bag at her feet.

“Leaving?”

It was all he needed to say for her shoulders to slump and her head to hang low. The sensation was a mixed bag to say the least. Soren could only imagine what was going through the woman’s mind as his own emotions swirled from one to the next. He was pleased that she was on the mend and well enough to be out on her own again, but in a weird way he was going to miss her too. Despite not saying anything, he really felt like he was just starting to get to know her.

Evidently, she seemed to be feeling the same. Otherwise, she would just walk out and not hang her head so low. Soren was about to dismiss himself when he watched her small hand come up and wipe at her eyes.

What is wrong with me?! Ashlynn scolded herself as she felt her eyes burning with tears. Why am I crying? Why do I feel so reluctant to leave? Is it the food? The bed? The… boys? Soren? The prospect of needing to move? What is wrong with me?

Ashlynn heard Soren inhale slowly, but sharply, as he spoke again.

“Hey, little miss, don’t be sad. You’ve no reason to be. You stayed because you were sick and now you’re better. You should be happy that you get to leave,” grinned Soren. Ashlynn bit her lip and nodded but couldn’t meet his gaze. She wasn’t sure if she could say goodbye to those eyes just yet.

“And, if you feel up to it or if you’re ever interested, you can pop back down or up, whatever it is, and come see us. You’re more than welcome to,” proposed Soren. The thought was a tempting one, and it was something that Ashlynn found herself considering. “The boys will be disappointed they didn’t get to say goodbye, but they’ll understand.”

Oh, shoot! Is this some kind of ploy to get me to stay longer? Curses!

“Do… you need help getting down? Or do you just want me to leave?” asked Soren. Ashlynn thought about the question, longer than what she would have. On the one hand, she didn’t want to reveal any of the secret places she had to get in and out of rooms. The Borrower didn’t think that any of them would set traps, but the instinct was still there to protect her people, even if she was the only one in the entire building. On the other hand, Ashlynn didn’t have a lot of good footing places on the covers, and they didn’t reach all the way to the ground. She’d have to make a drop fall, and she didn’t want to risk another injury when she was so close to leaving. Then again, did she want to leave?

Yes! Yes! Of course I want to leave! What kind of stupid question is that?!

But… maybe… a little help wouldn’t be bad? But that also means… being on his hand… Ashlynn shuddered before she glanced over at Soren and bit her lip, unsure of how to indicate everything she wanted with a single look. He’s been so careful… so gentle… If he can just get me to the kitchen counter, then I can go in that way without having to pry anything off of the walls and possibly leave another trace. And… would being held by him… be so bad?

“So, is that a yes?” prompted Soren. Ashlynn nodded, mind made up. “To me leaving?”

Soren’s eyes widened as she watched the small woman shake her head.

“N-no? You… want help down?” asked Soren. He’d refrained as much as possible from touching the miniscule woman, mainly due to his own apprehension of accidentally harming her in any capacity. The times they had made contact were absolutely necessary; that is, seemingly, until now.

His heart skipped a beat, stomach full of butterflies, as he watched her glance up at him and nod. It was completely unexpected. His mind started to race. He swallowed dryly, arms drawing in a bit tighter across his chest as he kept them folded. Clearing his throat, Soren bit his lower lip and nodded stiffly.

“Um… okay. Sure. Do… you just need help down? Or… -erm… do you have a place in mind that I should… bring you to?” Soren felt his voice crack ever so slightly as tension and nerves threatened to play with his vocal cords like a backwoods country banjo. “Right… yes or no. To the ground?”

Is… he nervous? Ashlynn wondered as she shook her head.

“No? You have a place in mind?” Soren’s heart was starting to race as fast as his thoughts as he watched the small woman nod. “And… you’re ready now?” He stared into the hand sized person’s blue gray eyes, a shiver running down the length of his spine, as she nodded again, albeit a bit more hesitantly than her other responses.

Soren wasn’t sure how he was supposed to do this. Pick her up? Let her step onto his hand? Cupped like a captive butterfly? Hang onto a finger? His first instinct was to let her step on, but would that be secure enough?

Might as well try.

Soren pushed himself off of the dresser, feet feeling heavy like lead bricks, as he unfolded his arms and laid his hand, palm up, onto the bed several inches from her.

What on earth am I doing?! Neither knew their thoughts aligned. Either could have shied away, and yet they didn’t.

Ashlynn stared at the calloused, gentle hand that had helped put her shoulder back into place, swallowed hard, and snagged her bag off of the bed before walking toward the outstretched fingers. Her heart hammered violently behind her ribs. Every instinct screamed to run away.

The Borrower forced her body to step up onto the human’s finger. It was soft and malleable like the comforter, giving with every step, but firm at the same time. Every ounce of focus was on not losing her balance or her mind as she wabbled across the notches of Soren’s fingers to his palm.

She only now realized she had been holding her breath as she crouched and placed her hand onto Soren’s thumb. She could clearly see and feel some of the ridges of his fingers as her hand rested against the appendage. It was almost imperceptible, but there was a tremor to Soren’s hand.

He’s just as nervous as me. Funny… he holds all the power and yet me being here makes him nervous.

Soren marveled at the small figure’s movements and the ease that she walked across his hand. It was hypnotizing the way she moved and crouched. Just her weight in his hand kept him motionless for fear of startling her. Even her eyes as she looked up at him expectantly was enough to keep him frozen in place.

“Um… er… ready? Just… uh… point. I’ll follow where you say to go,” Soren muttered. It was a vain attempt to disguise the tremor tugging at his voice. Ashlynn nodded and, just like that, Soren’s hand lifted from off of the bed and into the air. The dizzying height was mind numbing, the equivalent of a ten-story building or more, but it was natural for Ashlynn. Greater heights than these were in her arsenal of experiences.

It was her nerves that added to the experience, so it took a minute for her to realize Soren was looking down at her expectantly, waiting for her to give some kind of signal to direct him. She pointed toward the door, shaking her head so she’d phase out of her stupor. His fingers curled upward ever so slightly and she heard him inhale deeply before he began to move.

One step, and then the next, Ashlynn continued to point the way through the hallway, past the living room, and into the kitchen. The Borrower thought that being carried would be jostling and uneven, and maybe it was; however, Soren was taking an additional precaution and taking slow, even steps to not knock the small woman off balance.

When they made it to the kitchen, Ashlynn pointed to the counter by the bread box, and so Soren obliged, stepping up to it and setting down his hand, asking, “Is this okay?” before spreading his fingers out so they were no longer cupped. Ashlynn quickly disembarked, barely shaking an involuntary shudder, before turning around and facing Soren again.

“Well then. I guess that’s that. Do you need anything else before you go?” asked Soren. Ashlynn smiled and shook her head. She’d already helped herself to more than her fair share of the breakfast buffet Soren had made for her earlier. It was safely tucked away in her bag now, and she hoped it wouldn’t be rude that she took as much as she did.

“Okay then…” Soren sighed. “Well, it was nice getting to know you, for whatever that’s worth, and I wish you the best of luck in your adventures. Wish we could’ve learned more about each other, but that’s life, right? I don’t even know your name. Well… anyway… please be careful and, please, if you need anything, know you’re always welcome here. Take care, little miss.”

Soren flashed another smile as he turned to leave, and she did the same. She nearly had the electrical cover off of the wall when her mind flooded with intrusive thoughts. She turned back to see Soren was walking past the table and was almost around the corner to the living room.

That’s it? No requests? No demands? An invitation to return and the best of luck? And now he’s just leaving? He… he’s probably the only human who would do something like this. I… I can’t just…

“Soren!”

Ashlynn hadn’t even registered that she’d done it until his name flew from her mouth. Her voice sounded horribly unused, craggly as if it were full of dust, but it was enough to make Soren stop in his tracks, entire body rigid like a taut bow string, as he turned around to face her. His golden hazel eyes were wide with surprise, lips parted slightly in awe. He mouthed the word ‘you’, but nothing came out.

Good thing too. Ashlynn was quickly losing her nerve and, after two weeks, broke the last of the big three rules. She coughed nervously and watched Soren pivot slowly and dare to take a step back toward her.

Oh! Just finish it!

“I… just… thank you.” She had to raise her voice to nearly a shout, fearing she’d lose her will to continue or that Soren wouldn’t hear her. “Thank you… for what you did…”

The expression on Soren’s face shifted from curious to fascination to delight as his eyes sparkled with the smile on his face.

“A-and… it’s Ashlynn. My name… it’s… Ashlynn.”

Their eyes lingered, one locking onto the others’ unblinkingly. There was something else there in Soren’s eyes that Ashlynn couldn’t identify. Was it interest? Allure? Her cheeks immediately began to burn with increasing intensity the longer she held the human’s gaze.

That’s enough! Get back into the walls! Ashlynn chided as she spun on her heel and darted into the darkness of the walls, embracing the life she loved once more. Though she was already halfway up the line to her own home, she could still hear Soren echoing her name as if to brand it into his memory.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid! Why did I do that?! What Borrower in their right mind would speak?! I was home free! I went the whole time without talking, and because I feel bad for the giant man I blurt out my name?! Idiot!

It took a couple of breaks, but Ashlynn finally managed to get to the ceiling tiles she called home. The place was barely lit from the lights she’d left on from before. A thin layer of dust coated her bed, which the Borrower was sure was still disgusting from when she was ill, and she found evidence of mice.

“Brilliant,” she mumbled before rolling up her sleeves and getting to work. It took the better part of a few hours to rid her home of all things nasty, disgusting, and spoiled before she finally had a chance to put away the food she’d “borrowed” from Soren’s breakfast buffet and flop down onto her bed.

As she laid there on her own mismatched comforter, she stared at the perfectly proportioned ceiling above her. It was here, in the quiet that she was so familiar with, that her thoughts began to swirl and pick at everything that had happened over the past few weeks, particularly her interaction with Soren on the countertop.

What on earth were you thinking? You were almost out and decided to say something to that human. That human who fed me, clothed me, and healed me. Don’t be ridiculous! His sons were the ones who put you in that situation in the first place. But not Soren. I don’t have a real reason to be upset with him. He’s a human! That’s reason enough.

A human who seemed sad that I was leaving. A human who had nothing to gain by helping me. A human who sounded like he was going to miss me…

Ashlynn paused at this thought. For so long, it felt like she had been on her own, and now an emptiness in her chest that she had forgotten she had was opened again. Maybe that’s what it was. Maybe that’s why she spoke up and talked to Soren. Maybe that’s what she would miss – someone missing her. Not the human, but the fact her absence meant something to someone else.

She swallowed the lump forming in her throat and rolled over, hoping that was enough to jostle the thoughts rattling her and her mind.

Are you really okay with this? Having a human missing you? If that’s what it is at all?

The thing was… Ashlynn’s answer… was yes.

One thing was certain, and that was she needed to shed these feelings as fast as possible. Come the spring, she would need to consider moving and she needed to stay as far away from Soren and the two boys as possible.

Or… would she….

Bkdk online dating AU Preview!

Midoriya went home, took off his shoes, and greeted his mom. He went straight to his room and on the computer. Discord was already open and now Midoriya could finally relax, talk with his online friends, and forget about the struggles of his daily life.

While online he would mainly talk with his friends and moderate chats. He would always share fun facts about All Might and was constantly showing off his collection. A lot of people would turn to him when they needed to find specific merchandise. He was also an expert at spotting differences between bootlegs and official products.

He gets a notification, “@exsplosive_might111 has joined the server”

Midoriya immediately welcomed the new user and sends them the rules and verification process. Afterwards the new user posts an introduction. The introduction had quickly caught Midoriya’s attention since there weren't that many 13 year old boys like him in the server. This made him super excited and he started up a conversation with him as soon as possible.

@allmight_is_the_goat0715

Hey @ explosive_might111 you're the same age as me, that's so cool :D There’s not that many young ones here :(

@explosive_might111

Omg really? That’s so cool! can I send a friend request??? :3

Shortly after, they immediately start talking about everything All Might. Midoriya was impressed by how much this guy knew. They started talking about limited edition All Might merch. They both challenged each other to see who had the most/rarest merchandise. Midoriya had more by a long shot, but they noticed that they both had the same limited edition holographic all might card.

Allmight_is_the_goat0715

Wow where did you get that card??? :0 I've hardly met anyone who has it :DDD

Explosive_might111

Got it from a vending machine. Weren't they exclusive to only a few cities here???? I got mine in Musutafu :333

Allmight_is_the_goat0715

OMG ME TOO!1!1!1!1 we must live around the same area :DDD

They had stayed up talking all night. Despite it being a school night and the fact that Bakugou usually goes to bed early, they never stopped chatting. Midoriya, or his online nickname Mikumo, had told his new friend all about his life. He mentioned how he gets bullied but did not bring up that he is quirkless.

Bakugou, or nickname Aka (means red) had told “Mikumo” bits and pieces about his daily life. He felt bad for his new friend who was unfortunately getting bullied, but he felt guilty because Bakugou knows that he's a bully himself. They shared many things about themselves with each other. It was 3am before they had finally decided to go to bed.

Midoriya logged off of discord. He didn't expect to chat with the new user for so long, but he's glad that he did. Most of his online friends were much older than him so it was nice to be able to talk to someone his age and be able to relate to them.

Midoriya turned off his computer and put his phone to charge. He was really looking forward to the next day. Perhaps classes will be easier to sit through since now he has his new friend that he can talk to throughout the day. Midoriya just hopes that he's as active as him so they can talk all the time. He also got excited knowing that his new friend Aka could potentially live close to him. It's been so long since he last had a friend in person. His mom told him to never ever meet up with people he's met online, but Midoriya wouldn't mind meeting this guy sometime.

Oh don't let Huyang get shot, come on now, you already had him get blasted once.

Buncha trailer shots in this episode I'm guessing.

"Stay together. You always did better that way, in my opinion." Ha ha ha this would be a sweet line if we had ever actually SEEN Ahsoka and Sabine working together. *grumbles*

Hera going off by herself to go help Sabine and Ahsoka lolol. That little face she makes when she says, "Watch me."

Baby Jacen is still super precious.

The GHOOOOOOOOOOSSST!

This sequence would have been the perfect spot to drop Zeb in, you know. Just saying.

Go girls go, go, go, you need to get on that ship before it leaves!

And it's my favorite new villain couple.

If Shin could have a bit more personality she'd be more interesting but "feral" is wearing thin.

OH AND NOW WE HAVE A TICKING CLOCK DEVICE.

There were people complaining that this moment where Ahsoka wipes Marrok was lifted from "Twin Suns" but in context... no it's just Dave's usual thing for cool samurai finishers.

Oh wow Shin looks extremely unnerved at Marrok dissipating into green Nightsister mist.

Did... Morgan take all the guards and droids with her? Just leaving Baylan there by himself to handle Ahsoka huh? What a bitch.

"One must destroy in order to create." Nooooooooo they really don't Baylan, that's grade A horseshit.

And stinks of Empire and Sith apologism.

The map is gorgeous. Wish they'd turn the saturation and contrast up just a smidge more so the colors could POP.

Oh this music cue is great!

YES! LET BAYLAN CUT LOOSE. Man is a beast.

Ahsoka's trying to disengage long enough to get the map. :((((

Ha ha, nice. Mandalorian trick.

Ooooof the map burned Ahsoka's hand?

Ahsoka where's your shoto blade?

Right, like Sabine's dinky little blaster is gonna do anything to that map, sure Ahsoka. You just burned your hand on how super overheated it was and all it was doing was generating hyperspace coordinates for a cross-galactic jump, you think a shot from a small firearm is gonna pierce it?

Oooooh that angle-back closed-eye look from Baylan... he's telepathically reading her like a book isn't he?

"Your family died on Mandalore because your Master didn't trust you." WELL I'M JUST GOING TO PATENTLY IGNORE THAT BECAUSE NO FILONI, YOU CANNOT JUST DROP THAT IN LIKE THAT.

Getting real tired of character motivations being reveals and not outright stated from the start.

ALSO WHAT EVEN THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT???!???

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY NICE TO ACTUALLY SEE, OR YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT BEFORE THIS MOMENT.

Anyway as I said, excising this bit entirely from my personal canon, Clan Wren is fine, they're just in hiding like all the other Mandalorian clans.

"And I... to serve a greater good." Ohhhhhhhhhhh I see what you did there, nice paralleling Baylan to Thrawn.

SABINE CHOOSES EZRA.

(I mean I knew it was coming because I was spoiled but still.)

Sabine, Sabine, my poor heartbroken babygirl, this is such a human choice, it's not the choice a Jedi should make but then Sabine isn't a Jedi, I maintain that this is all still playacting and cope that Ahsoka is indulging.

Sabine is falling into the classic Attachment trap but also there are no good choices here. She could try to destroy the map, but I seriously don't think it would work, and then Baylan would just kill her and take the map back anyway.

Maybe she could run but with their ship damaged she wouldn't make it far, she'd have to hide in the woods and avoid Shin and Baylan and whoever else she's stranded and fight them all off by herself for who knows how long until maybe Hera gets there. And she has no way of knowing if Hera's coming.

Oh ouch, I thought Sabine was having a "What have I done?" reaction to handing Baylan the map, but no, Shin is just choking her.

HERA MADE IT.

See it takes Baylan deliberate sustained direct contact with his lightsaber blade to destroy the map, no way was Sabine's blaster gonna do shit to it.

SABINE DID NOTHING WRONG, I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.

Again, guys, this would have been the perfect sequence to have Zeb in.

Uhhhhhhhhh I would move away from the ring if I were y'all.

HO JEEZ.

OH BOY.

WELP.

Chopper sounds really unnerved.

THE WORLD BETWEEN WORLDS. THE STAR VOID.

Unless it's a weird-ass Force vision lol. Which is still possible.

Yeeeeeeeah I'm going with Force vision, Anakin should be blue and glowing, shouldn't he? Unless things work differently in here.

The Imperial March is not reassuring.

Okay well... that was a thing.

I'm starting to wish Deborah Chow had been showrunner for this, Filoni is doing... okay-ish (not really) but I really think this story needs and deserves a director willing to go all-in on the emotional resonance and beats of the story.

Which isn't to say the Kenobi show didn't have its problems (ho ho boy could I list the nitpicks and writing issues I had with it) but Ahsoka isn't quite reaching the highs it needs. Everything is way more subdued that I think it should be. I don't know how much of this is the writing, how much is the short mini-series format, how much is the cinematography or the directing.

THAT BEING SAID I AM HERE FOR SABINE MISSING EZRA SO MUCH SHE SACRIFICES HERSELF AND THE MAP FOR THE CHANCE TO FIND HIM.

See everything about her motivations makes so more sense if she's in love with him, sorry Filoni, the ship is still sailing.

Baylan got a bit more characterization here and got marginally more interesting, while Shin just... continues to be wet paper. RIP Marrok we hardly knew ye. Hope they explain the green mist shit soon.

Natasha's shoulders must be sore from carrying this show lol. Someone please let Sabine hug Ezra, she will feel so much better.

#i'm late i know #and have been spoiled to hell #but i am so here for all of this #well... some of this #star wars #ahsoka show #liveblog #spoilers #sabezra

Hobie brown x reader

not my GIF!

This my first ever story; one shot and it’s long

Y/n POV:

‘I have been spider woman for about 5 years fighting along side Miguel O’Hara sure he’s a lil cold and nonchalant and sometimes annoying but me and him are friends’ I have taken a break from the spider society for about 3 FUCKING YEARS ..Miguel said take as long as you want so I did! I still call him sometimes when he’s not so busy being busy. And just like 59mins ago I was enjoying my short vacation until when Miguel called and said he needs me back here doing my job so yeah’.

3rd POV:

Miguel called y/n to help him with a villian that appeared in y/n’s dimension that didn’t belong there and since it was hers, she had to get involved. As he was in the middle of his speech a portal opens up next to him.

He knew it was Y/n……..SO TYPICAL OF HER OFC SHE WOULD INTERRUPT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SPEECH!

She walks from the portal and sees miguel

Y/n greets him with a slight smile and a gift bag of a bracelet she made for him, “ Hola! Miguel como estas ? I missed you…You look great!” Giving him the gift “ Here I got u a lil something open it later…” As she turns around she finally notices everyone seeing new and familiar faces.. SHE SEES PETER B. PARKER WITH A BABY!?!?

She jumps off the platform where Miguel was standing and goes to greet Peter b, “ Peter You have a baby?? She’s cute ” Mayday smiles at y/n and jumps to her and y/n is in complete awe. Peter smiles and says “ YEAH she mayday i have some pictures on my phone wanna see! We have so much to catch up on y/n…meet my friends” he leads y/n to where miles and Gwen were standing. “ so y/n this is miles morales he is the coolest kid you would ever meet like ever everything you see him do when fighting wouldn’t want to brag but I taught him that!…and this is Gwen she super cool too.” Gwen says hello and tells Peter b,” wow thank you Peter.” Peter just smiles at Gwen.

Miles sees you and smiles,” Hey Y/n I like your suit looks very cool” y/n says” made it myself” Miguel cleared his throat and everyone went back to paying attention to miguel.

“Y/n I was in the middle of explaining the mission ” Miguel said. Y/n went back to Miguel’s platform and stood besides him. “Yeah sorry about that my bad go on dear” she said with a light smile.

Here is something to know about y/n she’s usually pretty much like Miguel just a lil slightly happier? She and Miguel are like pretty much the 2 ‘unfunny’ spider people….Y/n is secretly funny it’s just that she sort of looks up to Miguel as a friend and mentor. She’s pretty tall but not tall enough to go pass Miguel’s shoulders she has some dope piercings and like miles said a dope suit! It’s likes Miguel but black and white.

“Yeah we were just excited about y/n” Peter said , “ also I forgot the guy over there is Hobie he’s a great guy 😁”. Hobie waves at y/n as he’s walking over to where miles, Gwen, and Peter are. Y/n not wanting to really disrupt Miguel just nods her head and clearing her throat and nodding to miguel to continue.

Hobie observed her. He also agreed with miles her suit was cool and her piercing made her look good her h/l and h/c suited her perfectly he observed that wasn’t really much of a smiling robot and that she was very close to miguel. Are they together or something? He was hoping he talk to her after Miguel’s speech…

I am going to edit it again…see ya

send me any requests or comments!!!😜

There are such amazing female villains in the Uglies Series by Scott Westerfeld. Trying not to spoiler, because its sadly not very well known anymore.

There is Dr Cable, the no nonsense cyborg mad scientist leader of the Cities secret service, who regularly outsmarts the heroes and has a super fun sadistic sense of humor. She seems like our typical YA dystopia villain at first, but while she has a lot lesser scenes than I remembered (reread recently) you can always sense that there is more to her. She believes she just prevents humanity from destroying itself again by fairly horrible means, and sometimes you are so close to being on her side. Her schtick is also that she deliberately surged herself to look scary, with eerie grey eyes and a crooked nose and a very angular face, but just conventionally attractive enough to still respect her, which is a cool concept.

Then there is Shay, the main character Tallys rebellious best friend, who is so angry and desperate at the system, and also has this very messy, homoerotic, jealous friendship with Tally, and ends up on different sides to her again and again. Her mental health also nosedives over the course of the series, and she becomes more and more ruthless and unhinged. I wish I could write more about that, because Tally/Shay is the most fascinating aspect of this series, and IMO it is a similar dynamic to Catradora, though its sadly only implied, not canon, and it also shows the scars this leaves a lot more and how long it takes the girls to fix it at the end.

And Tally Youngblood herself. Wow. She already starts out as an anti-hero; and many fans hate her for that, but I personally find it refreshing, trying her best but also being terrified and naive and an immature 16-year-old and having a knack for accidentally hurting her friends and ruining all her relationships. But in the third book she becomes a villain protagonist, and its amazing. And she never fully gets back to being a hero, she always stays slightly... unhinged.

(I have to warn you though, the second and third book majorly include depictions of self harm and eating disorders, and its not particularly well handled; while IMO the author does not glorify it, the characters very intensely do)

Ah, the Uglies Series. The book covers always grabbed my attention, but I never gave this series a shot. I should remedy that; the characters sound interesting! An anti-heroic protagonist who remains morally complicated after turning away from villainhood? Hell yes!

There's an Uglies movie coming out sometime this year. Don't think I'm gonna wait for the film adaptation to check out the story. The books are right there!

It’s been a while since I’ve shared some thoughts, so let’s do it. Last Saturday has been on my mind for a bit now so I’d like to write about it. It was cool, my boyfriend and I went to this dive bar we went to one time before. It was cool the first time, there was this bartender that was like the perfect balance of social and a little awkward. She made a lot of convo the first time we went there and then made a really pretty free shot for us that day too. And the drinks we ordered were STRRROOONG lol. But anyways yeah we went there again after maybe a month and she was there and welcomed us in again. Me and Zach saw the tequila selection and saw it was a little minuscule but said fuck it and went for patron. She said she’d give it to us for the price of the cheaper tequila and we were already just like “oh shit that was nice” and then he was hungry so he got food and I just got a marg and he got a corona too. We then noticed she didn’t even put it on our bill so we got shots for free. Literally hella nice! We all made convo for a good amount of time. Started talking about movies and stuff we’d recommend and it was cool.

I noticed that she made my drink and got his but had these shot glasses upside down next to both me and Zach. I didn’t want to sound dumb so I didn’t say anything about it at first but then I finished my very strong marg lol and asked Zach if he knew what it meant bc I’m not as much of a bar girlie lol. He said he didn’t know and that I should ask her. So I did I was like “hey this might be a dumb question but what do the upside down shot glasses mean?” And she said “it means you guys have another drink lined up” homegirl gave us a drink for free now too be we didn’t preorder those ones. So we literally only payed for one marg and one corona. It was just super nice. I know it sounds just like a quick little thing of “wow she’s really nice I’m gonna tip her well and enjoy and move on from that night” and of course we did tip her well💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼 haha. But yeah I think the thoughts just stuck in my head

Like someone just being nice. It made me feel like I existed. Idk how to phrase this right but I feel a little nonexistent outside of my close circle. Like I don’t say any of this in a “feel bad for me” “pity me” kind of way, just more so outside people are very straight forward w me. Take like, me going to Starbucks. It’s very straight to the point, I ask if I could get something, they say yes, and I pay and we both say “have a good one” it’s never like people ask me questions. That’s another example, like take my coworkers for example. It’s actually become this running joke at work that I ask everyone a bunch of questions and get coworkers to tell me their whole lives and they don’t know literally anything about me lol. Lol I don’t ask them to snoop or anything I just like knowing background/ knowing how I should talk to them in future work situations/ also bc it makes the time go by faster. And so it’s not like I consider myself closed off, I just don’t tell people information about me unless they ask. And they don’t. And so once again I’m not asking people to. I gave all my reasons to why I ask people questions but I do recognize people don’t ask much about me. And I don’t feel down about it or anything. More so just neutral. But I will say it did feel cool that that bar tender was nice and asking Zach and I about ourselves and then gave us some freebies. It’s just not something I’m used to and just felt nice.

Another subject that’s been on my mind I think the past two months is just this weird thing that’s happening w my boyfriend. The beginning of my boyfriend and I being together, he was underweight. Was for most of his life and then he went through a bad situation that stressed him out more and led to him being even more underweight. He had a nutritionist and then maybe two months after we got together he no longer needed one bc he was eating good and at a healthy weight. Both him and I definitely gained some relationship weight and ayo I’m not hating on it. It means we’re happy. Weight fluctuates and sometimes I personally can get self conscious about it but it’s life, it’s all just fucking bags of flesh carrying our beings, but I digress. Anyways I remember him saying maybe three months ago his coworkers have been bringing up that he’s gained weight. “Has a belly now” and he was pretty light hearted about it. He said to me, “yeah I’m eating and also I’m getting close to 30, metabolism changes lol, but I think I am going to start exercising again. “Which I think, great reaction to that. I’ve never been on the other spectrum of being underweight, but I assumed at first hearing “you’ve gained some weight, you look good” to him would be nice to hear? But then that weird belly comment made me feel a way. I kept it to myself bc I’m not projecting my own insecurities onto him. But I heard it a lot more often from his coworkers. It’ll be like him and I are on the phone together and you’ll hear one coworker he hasn’t seen in a while be like “dang *bfs last name* you gained a couple lbz “ or “your face is looking fuller” and all these comments are said in this “light hearted” condescending tone. It continued to bug me tbh, bc Zach would just be like “haha you’re right” and idk it’s just weird for people to say. One instance got me really upset though, I went to chilis w him and one of his coworkers. And you could tell their work relationship is that she picks on him. But that hangout where we were maybe there hour and a half to two hours. She was ripping him to shreds about his weight. It made me actually upset. He laughed it all off and I didn’t feel comfortable commenting bc I don’t know their relationship like they both do. But it made me physically uncomfortable how much she was talking about his weight. The hangout ended and the first thing he said to me was “jesus Christ, she went in on me today” and I was like “yeaaaah…. Those were all super weird comments to make. I wasn’t a fan, I just didn’t know if you guys always talked that way w each other.” And he was like “yeah that’s the norm.”

It just it made me so mad that people are talking like that w him. It got brought up again a few days ago when he was getting through his gate while we were on the phone and one of his coworkers said “looks like you gained some happy weight” and Zach was just like “haha don’t say that “ and he left the gate and I just said everything. Why the fuck are his coworkers SO weird. He’s in the military and I know that involves being physically fit and I’m sure there’s a fair share of eating disorders in that place bc of it, it’s just really disturbing how much people have said things to him about it. Like I thought the whole commenting on weight was something our aunts and uncles did and would die out in that generation. Not continue onto people our age. I thought people knew better. Idk if he’s getting more comments bc people think they could say it bc he’s been skinny his whole life compared to someone who’s always been bigger you assume you shouldn’t say that to them. I just hate how comfortable people feel to comment on is weight. It makes me mad for him. He’s definitely not a person who gives a shit about what people say (genuinely one of the reasons why I think he was meant to be in my life, so I could be better at that) but it makes me upset people say these things to him. Like why not just be a normal person and make small talk? Why talk about the way you’re perceiving someone physically.

He’s so fucking cute and I love him so much. I just want him to be treated respectfully and I don’t want him to eventually be self conscious bc people feel entitled to making these weird and rude ass comments

Those two things have been on my mind heavy though. Just needed to blurt it out. I know it’s going into the void of tumblr but it was nice to get these thoughts out

week one hundred and thirty two

had my last class for the term on monday! since then i've just been working on the essay exam thingy. it's both fun and frustrating. it's fun until i have no idea what to say to reach the word count.

tuesday i went shopping with mom! it was a fun day and we had burgers and i got a shirt. i really tried to pay for the food and the shirt but she still wanted to pay for it. i felt bad but i'm still glad about getting a free shirt. it's so pretty but the weather's too hot for it right now so i can't wear it.

we went on a lot of walks while my mom was here. i had to miss out on a few of them to work on the essay but the few i went on were nice. my sisters boyfriend lead the way and he took us to so many hills and it was so tiring TT we saw a hot air balloon up close and that was really cool. i've barely even seen one from far away before.

on friday i somehow ended up finishing my essay stuff for the day suuuuper early. i don't know how i got such flow but it went by so quickly and i had the rest of the day for myself. guess how i spent it? doomscrolling. ah, i love 2024.

also had a wash day on wednesday but i got there a bit late so i rushed the machines and then ended up having to stop the white one midway but turns out that's not a great idea because they were SOAKING wet. like dripping. wow. innuendo. anyways... i tried putting them in the dryer but it didn't help and they were soaking still after the dryer. i think it might've never turned on because of how wet the laundry was. so i went back with the soaking laundry and scrunched out all of the water and hung it to dry but turns out taking your laundry out mid-clean and letting it poorly air dry makes it smell horrific. well, slightly. it had like a slight constant pee smell. i don't know how. i was stressed out trying to find what caused the smell and ended up sniffing every fabric in my room. i changed my duvet and pillowcase and went to bed but still smelled something so i changed sheets and boom. no smell. glad it's over.

i'm getting really pissed off on people on dating apps. WHY do you reply six hours late MINIMUM per message. i suddenly feel like a creep answering messages within 10 minutes. i've matched with this one guy who's super harveycoded and he's canadian and cool and stuff but he replies SO FUCKING SLOW.

also matched with a super hot person and we bonded over games and now they ghosted me like damn.

also looking for an actual relationship rather than casual is ROUGH. like sorry i absolutely cannot get invested with someone and not catch feelings. like why do i feel insane for still missing l? he probably doesn't even think about any of the things we did anymore. it's weird in a way having someone be your first everything and you not being their first anything.

peepeepoopoo blahblahblah get over him, girl.

Stockholm Week 14: Best Attractions in Iceland

Our core spent nearly an entire week exploring Iceland in diverse ways!

We arrived in Iceland on Sunday and started the first full day on Monday.

4/15 Mon: I ate FERMENTED shark (as if eating a shark was not eccentric enough)

It was a relatively late morning, schedule starting at 10 am. We went down to eat breakfast at the hotel around 9 am. All the food was high quality, which was something unexpected. I exploited the buffet and ended up with 5 plates to return.

It was time for our first academic visit, The Iceland Ocean Cluster. It was a collaboration center for start-up companies using byproducts of fish. A lot of products are made from parts such as fish skin and liver, previously thrown away without use. Some examples were Omega 3, hand cream, fish-skin wallet, and energy drinks.

Group picture taken by DIS!

Our second academic visit of the day was an informational lecture at the City of Reykjavik - we got to listen to how the city of Reykjavik is working with environmental protection, urban planning, waste management, and climate action.

The paper bag drama

Right after the presentation, we spontaneously entered a thrift store across the street, and wow. Everything they had was in good condition and high quality. There were so many good shoes in particular - my friend found Dr Martin for $40 like what??? I also got Nike sneakers and Vagabond sandals for less than $60, which is a deal. They were as good as new!

For dinner, DIS scheduled a Reykjavik Food Walking Tour. A fun local guide told us Icelandic myths, history, and backgrounds of the foods that we ate that day! Some things that we ate were: lamb and salmon tartar, lamb hotdog, lamb stew, Icelandic sauces and jams, fermented shark, and blueberry yogurt cheesecake dessert.

Celebrities from all over the world comes to that specific hotdog stand to try!

We got to feed the birds and swans on the lake with leftover bread that was given along with the stew. We were surrounded by all of them, unable to escape.

The seagulls were lowkey mean to the other birds, snatching the food away

The guide mentally and physically prepared us for the shark, teaching us when and how to breathe before eating the shark. It didn’t taste too bad (a little fishy?) to my surprise but maybe because they let us drink a shot afterward.

Face with mixed feelings of fear, excitement, and curiosity

The tour took around 4 hours but it was a cool experience! I mean, where else would I be able to casually eat a fermented shark?

This is going off on a tangent but I wanted to share this: they have 10-11 instead of 7-11 ( ˙◞˙ )

4/16 Tue: Glacier Hiking !0!

The grand activity of the study tour, the South Coast and Glacier Hiking!!!

It was around two-hours of bus ride, but the scenery on the way there was magnificent. Windows background photos were moving in front of my eyes!

Spectacular views

Everyone was so excited to hike on Iceland’s fourth-largest glacier. The local guide who led the way was super friendly and attentive :)

Class photo!

I could not believe that I was hiking on the glaciers, and sometimes I think that it was a daydream. What a surreal experience (for free too)!

Credit of last two pictures to DIS!

On the way back, we stopped at two waterfalls. I can vividly picture the first waterfall, Skógafoss, in my mind. It was just stunning. My friend and I ran towards it and ended up getting soaked up ヽ(´▽`)ﾉ

Everything was fun at the moment

Even better, a double rainbow popped up as soon as the sun came out. I haven’t seen such a vibrant rainbow in a while - pure happiness rushed to me.

I don’t exactly know why but I love this place with all my heart

I should live close to some kind of waterfall when I get older. The joy nature brings me is beyond belief.

We had another group dinner near our hotel. The hotel we stayed at was in the city center; all the stores and restaurants were nearby! From the prices on the menu, we concluded that Iceland is very pricey.

4/17 Wed: Geothermal Greenhouse

Wednesday's main visit in my opinion was going to Friðheimar Geothermal Greenhouse. We learned about their ways of growing tomatoes in their greenhouse. They also had hives of bumblebees! It was good to see a lot of bees since we don’t see them as often anymore.

All I wanted to do was to pick the tomatoes... But as a grown-up, I restricted myself

For lunch, they served a whole cuisine: grilled tomatoes and meat/vegetable skewers, tomato soup with huge loaves of cheese/olive bread, and cheesecake with tomato jam (better than it sounds)! If I hadn’t eaten so much for breakfast, I would’ve devoured more bread and soup :(

The cheesecake was served in a pot! Isn't that so cute

With our full tummies, we headed to the Geothermal Exhibition. Iceland produces 100% of its electricity from renewable energy from hydro and geothermal power from the volcanoes. We got to closely look around the power plant and get descriptions from one of the employees.

Sci-fi movies could film here

The rest of the afternoon and evening were on our own, so we went on a souvenir-shop tour around our neighborhood. I bought a cute Viking shot glass as a present for my younger brother. I tried one of the 70% dark chocolate too and it was AMAZING. It was so rich in flavor ( ˶ˆ⤙ˆ˵ )

For dinner, my friend and I went to the first ramen place in Iceland and oh my gosh it was the best ramen I’ve ever had in Europe.

I took a bite before taking the picture

4/18 Thu: Golden Circle Tour: Secret Lagoon, Geysir, Gullfoss, Thingvellir National Park

In the Iceland itinerary, a highlighted note read “Please bring your swimming clothes!” We got to swim in the Secret Lagoon, the oldest swimming pool in Iceland! It was filled with warm water from the hot (100+ degrees Celsius) springs nearby.

Certain parts of the pool were full of algae, offering an oddly pleasant texture. It reminded me of the polar plunging + sauna experience in Umeå. Basking in the warmth of the pool was a relaxing experience.

I want to jump in right now

After the rejuvenating swim, we headed to Geysir. There were multiple active geysers, one of which shot water 30 meters up into the air.

This is a small geyser - doesn’t it look like a tiny water fountain?

The next stop was Gullfoss, which was the most famous waterfall in Iceland. It is known as the “golden waterfall,” featuring a cascade of waterfalls one after another.

The picture didn't do a good job capturing the magnitude of the waterfalls

The last official stop of the study tour was the Thingvellir National Park, which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Typical bathroom views

The park had multiple attractions such as the site of Iceland’s first parliament. A group of us headed towards the valley separating North America and Eurasia. The water we encountered was exceptionally clear like a reflection from a mirror.

Iceland = nature.

To celebrate the successful end of the study tour and a friend’s 21st birthday, DIS arranged an hour of karaoke for our class. We had so much fun that we ended up extending by an hour ᖗ( ᐛ )ᖘ The Mickey sparkly special glitter something shot (apparently their signature shot) was truly delightful.

4/19-22 Fri-Mon: Facing My Consequences

We met at the hotel lobby at 4:15 am to catch our 7 am flight… Let me just say that I passed out on the plane (sleepwise). However, it was nice to arrive in Stockholm in the early afternoon; I had an unbelievable amount of work to do.

All I did on the weekend was sleep, eat, and study for the exam for my online Reactions course. When my brain got fried, I did other work for DIS courses and blogs. Assignments and group projects and presentations and essays and exams are flooding in until the end of the semester!

In the next few weeks, you will see me balancing between traveling and school work. I will try my best not to get too overwhelmed with school!

Thank you for reading ♡

Vertu blessaður,

I just got back from seeing Avatar: Way of Water and I’m about to make it everyone’s problem.

First off, the movie was absolutely visually stunning. The planet, the locations, the animals, all of it was gorgeous. Some of the most gorgeous shots I’ve ever seen.

I loved the Metkayina designs. They were clearly designed with water life in mind—the wider tails, wider arms to allow for better swimming. I also noticed inspiration drawn from Māori tattoos for their facial markings.

I loved all the kids, but Spider is definitely my favorite. It just makes me so sad that this kid has grown up never fitting in with the humans or the Na’vi and has been barely tolerated by most adults in his life. I have a lot of thoughts on Spider, but that’s a whole separate post. Basically I love him, I want him to be safe, and he’s a kind kid with a big heart and I’ll defend him to my dying day.

Kiri is a close second favorite. I was literally thinking “are there autistic Na’vi?” Before watching this and I kind of got my answer. Yes, i do 100% see Kiri as autistic. Also she’s canonically epileptic, which I thought was interesting. I just want more disabled characters that are interesting and contribute to the story, and she delivers. I also think it’s so cool that they gave her such a close connection with Eywa (no I don’t have religious trauma leave me alone). My only complaint is that Sigourney Weaver’s voice doesn’t…sound like a teenager’s voice to me. She plays the part very well, but her voice throws me off a bit.

I think it’s very interesting what they’ve done with Quaritch’s character. By making him a clone, you basically start over. He’s got all the memories but basically only a year or so of life experience and a lot of that influences how he interacts with the world, especially Pandora since he’s experiencing it from a new angle. He also noticeably softens toward Spider and while it may have started as manipulative, I do think he genuinely cares for Spider by the end. He reminds me a bit of early-show Zuko, and I can see him getting redeemed through his bond with Spider. I really want to see him link with a Spirit Tree, the existential crisis it would cause would make for great writing.

I don’t feel that Jake has been super poorly written, but I feel that we’re seeing him acting in survival mode so I don’t know what his relationship with his kids is usually like. I understand why he would revert to military training in a time of crisis.

I do feel like Jake has forgotten what it was like to be human in some ways, like he’s forgotten that he wasn’t always Na’vi. He does great his boys like they’re soldiers under his command, and I feel like his treatment of Spider shows just how much he’s forgotten what it was like to be human. What it was like to live in a world that wasn’t compatible with his body.

I also feel like Jake doesn’t have a full grasp of Na’vi culture still, and he sometimes overrides Neytiri when he should listen to her experience. Again, I understand the reasoning, it just annoys me.

Neytiri got shoved to the side a bit, in my opinion. She was in character, and I understand all of her responses, but I felt that Jake didn’t always treat her as an equal or value her knowledge enough. I don’t quite have words for how her emotions impact her character, but they’re all very impressed words. Just wow.

The tulkun are so cool to me. It started out as just kind of a whaling story, but you realize that these creatures are sentient, they’re capable of thought, they’re deeply intelligent beings. They’re people, plain and simple. And seeing the whaling analogy paired with the fact that these creatures are people, it made me nearly cry. Seeing them being murdered and their bodies desecrated for a tiny bit of profit had me cringing in my seat and made me so angry.

Random thoughts in no particular order:

Tsireya is so pretty I love her. She reminds me of a fantasy Elf for some reason.

Quaritch attempting the “death by thighs” move was unexpected, but not entirely unwelcome. I’m used to seeing femme fatale characters use that move, and I’m pretty sure I was blushing.

All of the Sully boys have daddy issues now, and Spider also has mommy issues

The “why so blue?” dad joke and Spider getting the one “fuck” of the movie made me laugh

#avatar way of water #oh look I’ve developed a new interest that’s gonna take over my life for the next few months

Hello so glad to see you write for Shinichiro!! Could I have some headcanons of spending the day as Shinichiro’s s/o with Shinichiro, Mikey, and Emma? Maybe having a picnic or going to the mall together? Just some fluffy Sano family time!

spending a day with shinichiro sano (feat. emma & manjiro sano): headcanons

[𖤐] hii anon; thank you for requesting this!! it was so cute and fluffy to write i kinda melted a little bit when i was writing this aaaa, i hope you like it!! <333

❧ masterlist

✂︎ honestly, the day was supposed to be just a casual date with shinichiro; going to the mall and doing some window shopping and maybe buying a few things, then going to the food court to get some food before riding to the riverside to watch the sunset. nothing really out there, but just spending time with him was enough for you, so you didn’t really need any sort of fancy date.

✂︎ at least, that was the original plan. you weren’t sure how you had ended up taking emma and mikey along with the two of you, but frankly, you didn’t really mind. there’s probably a lot of other people who would have some...thoughts, if their boyfriend’s little siblings tagged along on their date, but emma and mikey were always such sweethearts, (to you at least) so you actually thought it was a nice change of pace.

✂︎ hm, well, now that you think about it, the both of them coming wasn’t really supposed to happen in the first place. it was pretty nice weather out, so you and shinichiro had decided to walk to the mall instead of taking his bike. the both of you had figured it would be a nice change of pace and that the fresh air would do both of you some good, but you two were so wrapped up in your conversation with each other that you didn’t even notice the steps following you two. it wasn’t until you were almost at the mall that you and shinichiro had realized emma and mikey had tagged along.

“what were you thinking of buying, (y/n)?”

“hm, i’m not really too sure yet, maybe some-”

“i can’t believe that didn’t see us the entire walk!! we’re just that stealthy, emma!”

“what the hell-”

✂︎ and just like that, your date was crashed by the two little kids who had followed you on your way to the mall. according to emma, the only reason she was here was because she was trying to stop mikey, but by the time she finally was able to pull him back, she didn’t know how to get back home, so she just decided to follow you. according to mikey, he had followed you two because...well, just because he wanted to.

✂︎ mikey’s response earned him a punch on the head from shinichiro, who started yelling about how he can’t just crash his date, ‘just because he wants to’.

✂︎ it was obvious from his body language that shinichiro was feeling pretty exasperated from all this, and you can’t really blame him. i mean, who would expect for their little brother to purposefully follow him while he goes on a date?

“sorry about this (y/n), i should’ve noticed they were following us sooner. if you don’t mind, i can run them back real quick while you go look at some shops, how’s that?”

“...hm, actually, if it doesn’t bother you, how about we just take them with us? i don’t really mind that they came along; i really like emma and mikey, and if we take them with us, then you don’t have to go all the way back. is that alright with you?”

“are you sure, (y/n)? mikey can be a little troublemaker sometimes-”

“hey, shut up!! am not!!”

“yes you are!!”

“i’m sure it’s fine, now both of you stop yelling at each other, people are staring!!”

✂︎ gonna be honest here, the two of you looked like a family when you walked into the mall. mikey was sitting on shinichiro’s shoulders while shinichiro kept a firm grip on his legs, and emma was holding your much bigger hand in her smaller one, looking around a bit curiously.

✂︎ as you all walk around, looking at the different shops, there’s going to be a lot of commentary about literally everything from mikey. he’s going to be commentating on everything he sees, whether it’s clothing or a food stand that he wants to go try, his commentary will just be endless.

“do girls really wear that sort of thing??”

“woah, that looks super cool!”

“can we get the dorayaki that’s over there, (y/n)-nii?!”

✂︎ you’ll probably start to notice emma’s longing glances at some of the things that she sees in the windows. she won’t really say anything about it, but you can tell that it’s something she wants, so you’ll go into a couple of the stores with her, asking what it is that she wants. she’ll definitely be surprised at first, but she’ll get really excited that you’re willing to get stuff for her and will show you the things that she thinks are pretty. she’ll probably start talking about how she wants to be able to wear all of the cute stuff she saw in some of the other windows someday, so you just ruffle her hair and tell her that when the time comes, you’ll definitely buy it for her.

✂︎ your actions don’t go unnoticed by shinichiro, so he’ll just be waiting for you outside the store with mikey, looking at you with a small smile on his face. he doesn’t know why, but whenever he sees you getting along with her and mikey, it just warms his heart and reminds him of how much he loves you and how much he wants to be with you for the rest of his life.

“stop staring at (y/n)-nii, it’s weird.”

“wha- i wasn’t-!”

“yes you were! i saw you!!”

“be quiet mikey, i’m trying to have my moment!”

✂︎ ah, well, he actually does know why his heart skips a beat whenever he sees you smiling and getting along with emma and mikey, but he’ll save that for later.

✂︎ when you and emma walk out of the store, the giddy smile on her face makes shinichiro smile down at her before turning his gaze to you, who was looking at her with a giant grin on your face as well.

“let’s go look at some more places?”

“definitely!!”

✂︎ emma is a lot more vocal from that point onward, pointing out all the different things in the shops that she thinks would look best on you. she actually has a pretty good fashion sense, so you ended up buying some of the stuff that she suggested.

✂︎ she’ll even have you try on all the clothing that she picked out for you so that you can show shinichiro, (she whispers to you it’s so that he’s struck with love when he sees you). her plan definitely worked though; when you came out of the dressing room in the clothes she had picked out for you, shinichiro was wordless for a few moments, so captivated by you that he doesn’t even know what it is he should say. he’ll probably stutter out some words after a few moments, the broken sentence resembling that of a compliment, but you’re not quite sure since it’s all pretty broken up.

“wow, uh, you look, uh...wow, you’re very...wow…”

“shinichiro-nii, can’t you think of anything else?! i thought you were supposed to be their boyfriend!! you’re making my plan fail!!”

✂︎ mikey will probably be more interested in going to the food court, and will be asking every five minutes when you guys can be finished with window shopping so that he can eat because he’s absolutely starving, (it’s a lie, he just wants dorayaki).

✂︎ you’ll probably tell shinichiro that he should probably get some new clothing as well, with emma chiming in that his taste in clothes is kinda boring and that he should spice up his wardrobe, (he feels very wounded by this and puts a hand to his heart as if he’s been fatally shot). with that, the four of you will start to look for new clothes for shinichiro. it’s quite the serious mission, so the three of you will be closely examining him whenever he steps outside of the dressing rooms. it’s also like you three are judges at a fashion show, and if you could, you would all be holding up numbers that were rating his outfits, (the employees are fairly amused by all of this).

✂︎ after you all finally find some new clothes for shinichiro, you’ll be making your final stop at the food court, the place mikey has been pestering you about going to for the entire time you were there. he immediately dragged you all over to the dorayaki place, eagerly asking if he could get one. really though, how could you say no to those eyes?

✂︎ after getting everyone something to eat, you’ll all be sitting down, emma and mikey chomping down and their food, and you and shinichiro resting your feet after all the walking you had just done.

“remind me to never bring you to the mall on a date again.”

“what, you didn’t have fun?”

“no! no, that’s not it, i just...my wallet feels lighter than before…”

“you’re so dramatic sometimes, i swear.”

“but you love me.”

“...yes.”

✂︎ by the time you all are done with your food and are exiting the mall, it’s dark out, and emma and mikey are barely able to keep their eyes open, meaning that for the walk home, you were carrying emma on your back and shinichiro was carrying mikey. the walk back was rather peaceful, but what you enjoyed the most was the whispered conversation you were keeping up with your boyfriend, who was complaining about how mikey was drooling on his neck and he could feel it dripping down to his shoulder.

✂︎ after putting both the kids in their respective bedrooms and tucking them in, the two of you just crash on shinichiro’s bed, tired from all the events that had happened that day. you really had to admit though, it was times like these that you would always remember the most. the way he looked like when he was beside you, his eyes already closed as he rested his head on your arm. god, he looked so pretty…

“hmm, what do you think you’re doing?”

“just fixing the hair of my beautiful boyfriend, that’s all.”

“i see...carry on then.”

✂︎ neither of you bothered to change out of your clothes into pajamas, just deciding to leave them on and stay in each other’s embrace. in your opinion, there was truly no better way to end a day than to have shinichiro on your arms, his head fixed into the crook of your shoulder as he peppers kisses all over your neck and jaw.

“love you so much (y/n)...”

“mhm, i love you too.”

sticky notes (spencer reid x reader) (platonic!baux reader)

overview: reader leaves and recieves a passive aggressive sticky note before going on a case

genre: fluff and humor?

a/n: i thought of this last night while i was trying to go to sleep and i could not stop thinking about that one vine and its also super snowy where i live lol. anyway i wrote it today throughout the school day and couldnt wait to put it on here :)

masterlist

'whoever used the last sugar packet, your moms a hoe.'

you let out a small chuckle and stuck the sticky not to the container that usually held packets of sugar before taking a sip of your bitter, unsweetened coffee that you would have to deal with for the rest of the day.

"i hope hotch didn't take it," prentiss laughed, peering over at the note.

"everyone knows hotch drinks his coffee black." you retorted.

"no only you know that because you were his assistant before you joined the team," she joked, resulting in you sending a light elbow to her side. "you know we are handwriting analysts. everyones going to know you wrote that."

"except that they wont because i type everything. besides, i dont really think anyone on the team wont take the joke." you chuckled, pushing the door open with your free hand and heading into the bullpen.

"briefing room in 5 minutes, we have a case," hotch called from the balcony.

"theres fresh coffee in the break room, i feel like were going to need it," you said to the rest of the team that were sitting at there desks.

they all eagerly got up, ready for a fresh, hot drink to wake them up. you smiled as you walked to the briefing room, standing by your unassigned assigned seat. you took a sip of your drink, making a face at the bitter taste.

"why is your beautiful face scrunched up?" Garcia asked, setting down files in front of all the empty seats.

"someone took the last sugar." you stated simply.

"i have some in the batcave, youre always welcome" she winked, sending you a warm smile which you gladly returned.

"youre the best."

"yeah i know," she answered before the other agents began filing in, Spencer taking a seat next to you. "alright crime fighters, today youre all headed to snowy Alaska."

"actually," rossi looked at hotch and then garcia before continuing, "Garcia i think youre coming too."

"sir?" she looked over at hotch.

"dave is right. the connection will be spotty anyway, it would be best if you came a long and worked from the precinct." hotch confirmed.

"oh. alright." she obliged before continuing with the details of the case.

(a/n: im waaayyyy too lazy to write a whole case)

"wheels up in 5, it will take a while to get there and we dont have time to waste." hotch said at the end of the briefing before walking out.

"oh shoot i left my phone in the break room," i whispered, smacking my forehead with my palm.

"do you want me to wait for you?" spencer offered.

"no its ok," you smiled, jogging down the stairs.

"ill take your go bag. hurry i dont know if i can convince them not to leave without you!" he called after me, a giggle escaping his throat at his own joke.

"thanks! it'll be their loss anyway!" you laughed, as you sped walked to the break room. "there you are." you whispered to your phone that was sitting on the counter.

your eyes drifted to the note you had left earlier only it was gone. a new note sat in its place, a reply scrawled on it.

'ill have you know my mother is a very nice lady'

you smiled and rolled your eyes, slipping the note into your pocket as you walked briskly towards the jet. you walked out and saw reid waiting for you at the door of the jet, motioning frantically for you to board. you had taken a little too long looking at the note.

"10 more seconds before you're officially late!" he yelled, looking at his watch.

you broke out into a sprint, running as fast as you possibly could, trying to get across the runway in time.

"dont leave without me!" you yelled out, knowing they wouldn't.

you looked at the windows, seeing the team's faces pressed against the glass, watching amused.

"5 seconds!" he warned as you neared the stairs. "3..." almost there! "2..." just a few more steps. "1!" his arms shot up as you pushed past him into the jet, just in the nick of time.

"wow im impressed pretty lady!" morgan laughed, giving you a high-five which you exasperatedly accepted.

"have a seat y/l/n, we have a long flight." hotch said. you began thinking he was made at you but then you saw him trying to stifle a smile, "i dont think ive even seen you run like that in the field."

he held out his fist which you bumped with your own before flopping breathlessly down onto one of the chairs on the jet.

~time skip to the end of the case because i feel like it~

you walked out of the police department, watching your own breath swirl around the air in front of you.

"could you believe that detective?" jj scoffed walking with you towards the suvs in the parking lot.

"i know he was so...creepy." you agreed, "if i smelled his coffee breath one more time id take his tiny d-"

you didnt get to finish your sentence, though; you felt a cold snowball bash against the back of your head.

"gotta go!" jj laughed, hopping into one of the last suvs and driving off.

"whoever threw that snowball, your moms a hoe!" you yelled out crouching down to gather some snow.

"what?" spencer yelled, emerging from behind a trashcan.

"IT WAS YOU!" you laughed, throwing a snowball and hitting him straight in the chest.

"wait no. what did you just say?" he asked, eyes wide.

"i said whoever threw that snowball, your moms a hoe." you stated, suddenly feeling bad, "but not your mom, diana is-"

"a very nice lady." he finished, reaching into his pocket and fishing out a crumpled little paper.

"oh my gosh," you breathed, pulling out a note from your own pocket.

"i had a feeling it was you!" he laughed.

you raised your eyebrows, "yeah right! you had no clue!"

"i totally did! i was like, 'hmmm who in the office talks like this? oh yeah my idiot best friend'." he countered, smirking.

"well i had a feeling it was you too!" you lied, crossing your arms.

"youre lying!" he laughed.

"no im not!"

"yes you are! you have a tell!"

"i do?!"

"yes! you purse your-" he swiftly reached to the floor and picked up a small amount of snow, wiping it across your mouth, "-lips."

the cool snow melted quickly on your now very warm face, causing you to instinctively wipe your it with your sleeve, "oh its on!"

snowballs were flying left and right in the nearly empty parking lot, seeking refuge all over your bodies. you watched him sneakily duck behind a trashcan, thinking you hadn't seen him. letting out a small chuckle you creeped towards the trashcan, standing behind him as he peered his head around the other side, looking for where you had gone. you took a small amout of snow and reached your arm around his head, wiping it against his mouth as he had. he jumped letting out a small scream before turning around and latching his arms around your waist.

he picked you up and spun you around, loosing his footing on the slippery, causing a strange mix of a laugh and a scream to escape your mouth. he fell back on a fresh layer of snow, with a dull thump. you fell directly on top of him, your foggy breaths melding together as your laughs started fading. his eyes flickered from your eyes down to your lips, a new rouge gracing his cheeks and nose, one that would be there regardless of the cold.

"ca-can i kiss you?" he asked, looking back up at your eyes.

"please." you smiled, heart close to bursting out of your chest as he closed the gap between you.
