#I’ll probably sing it 4 times tomorrow too

[help-help-i-need-an-adult]

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year Christmas song lyrics include:

There’ll be parties for hosting

Marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There’ll be SCARY GHOST STORIES

And tales of the glories

Of Christmas’s long long ago

So, there you go. Now you have 2 things.

oh my god god god god god my dad just tried to complain about me wearing earrings with ghosts on them because they're "not very festive" so i said Well Actually ghosts are very appropriate for christmastime and he said tell you what if you can show me a single christmas themed thing that has ghosts in it i won't say another word about your fashion choices this entire holiday. i Promise. so i got him to lean in realllllll close as i opened up the browser app on my phone and slowly began to type "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" while the blood rapidly drained from his face.

You most definitely make all this worthwhile so mwah mwah 💋💋 (video)

catpawsupdates: we’ve had a couple of requests lately asking about catpawsgaming and her cats! These are the first and last photo we’ve gotten — she’s incredibly secretive about them so we don’t know if this is the same cat in both photos or if she has 2 bengals (peep also handsome in the first photo. Catpaws was laughing when she posted that photo cause she’s usually the passenger princess)

These past 5 years have been a dream come true — and it’s been a dream I never knew I had. Seeing you that first time, you took my breath away. Forget the trophies and the victories, the world championships and titles I’ve won — becoming your husband has topped every single one of them. I can’t imagine my life without you anymore and I wouldn’t ever want to

𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞. 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, black cat

❝  fucked up, anxious ❞ -imperfect for you, ariana grande

Since Spencer took the subway to work everyday Isabelle gave him a ride to the bar.

According to Spencer it was the bar the team went to almost every time.

It was perfect- they had music but it wasn’t too loud, it was never super busy, and the lighting wasn’t too harsh nor too dreary.

“It’s a busy night, I guess.” Spencer commented when they walked in, there wasn’t an ambulance of people but it was definitely busy.

Emily waved the two over to a booth, on one side sat Morgan, Emily and Garcia and the other sat Isabelle, Spencer, and Jj.

Morgan handed the new addition to the team a beer and she gladly accepted while spencer denied with a disgusted look on his face.

“So Isabelle, where are you from?” Emily asked, the team hadn’t really got a chance to know Isabelle, they worked a case right after one and their minds were pre occupied by wondering how Spencer was doing.

“Oh I’m from Warrenton, it’s a small farming town just an hour away from here.” Isabelle responded.

“It’s nice that your parents are kinda close! My parents live four and a half hours away.” Jj said.

“Yeah.” Isabelle said in a flat tone, “Do you visit your parents a lot?” Asked Derek.

“No- well they don’t live there anymore.” Isabelle responded and slightly sunk into the booth.

Thankfully Spencer re directed the conversation and the group talked for a while- after an hour Jj had to return home.

Emily was currently using the restroom while Derek dragged Spencer to get drinks with him.

“I know your mom is missing too!” Garcia blurted.

Isabelle felt her heart drop, she stared into Penelope’s eyes.

“Um I-I when I was looking into your sister’s disappearance I noticed your mom is also missing too- not officially but she kinda just dropped of the face of the earth.”

“She left us.” Isabelle choked out.

“She never emptied her bank account or anything she-.”

“No offense but you weren’t there and I was, she left and probably went back to Mexico or something.”

“Probably?-“

“Here are your drinks, ladies.” Morgan announced while handing Garcia a strawberry daiquiri and Isabelle an espresso martini.

“One second, I’ll be right back” Isabelle announced just as Emily returned to her seat.

“She’s got you in a choke hold, huh?” Morgan laughed.

“What?” Spencer inquired, his voice going up an octave.

“A few days ago you were at each other’s throats, and now you’re fine so I suspect Spencer’s in love.” He said the last part in a sing songy voice.

“No, we just made up.”

“You kissed and made up?” Derek smirked.

“No we just made up.” Spencer defended and saw Emily smile, “Come one Emily! you can’t seriously believe Derek.”

“I don’t know.” She laughed.

“What we aren’t having relations whatsoever!” He protested.

“Holy shit your face is so red.” Morgan laughed.

“Awww! Baby Spence is blushing.” Garcia laughed and gently pinched his cheek.

Spencer swiped her hand away and covered his cheek.

Isabelle walked to the table, “Hey guys, I’m gonna get going.”

“Do you want me to drive you home? you had two and a half drinks.”

“Thanks but I’m fine.”

Spencer opened his mouth to object, “and for my weight 4 drinks per hour is the number of drinks need to reach an .08% BAC.” Isabelle argued but still saw worry in Spencer’s eyes.

“If you really want you can watch me walk in a straight line.” Isabelle joked.

“Okay.” Spencer said and sat back waiting for Isabelle to walk.

“I was joking, Spence.” She smiled, “I’m perfectly coherent, I’ll see you tomorrow.” She smiled and ruffled his hair.

Spencer was preoccupied watching Isabelle leave the bar to notice his co workers snickering.

He turned toward them and Morgan spoke, “Spencer you are whipped!”

“No I’m not!”

“Spencer do you even know what that means?” Emily asked and Spencer shook his head.

“Should we tell him?” Emily asked Morgan and Garcia, they both shook their heads.

“I don’t know what you guys mean but once I find out I will disapprove that accusation.”

୨୧

Isabelle did everything in her power to avoid Penelope the next day, she had almost made it, she was walking to the elevator when Penelope stopped her.

“I know you don’t want to talk about it and that’s fine! and I won’t tell anyone- I mean last time I said that I ended up telling Spencer about your sister- but that’s because I didn’t know you and I was hoping Spencer could talk with you.”

“Anyway I pinky swear this time I won’t tell anyone!” She let out a heavy breath.

“and if you ever need to talk to someone I’m here.”She smiled, “oh! and here’s a figurine for your desk!” Garcia exclaimed.

She handed Isabelle a small black cat figurine that adorned a dark red collar.

“You remind me of a black cat because you’re quiet and reserved and I noticed you wear a lot of red.”

“Did you buy this for me?”

“No, I have a bunch of different cats and dogs with different collars, that one used to have a light blue collar but I painted it red for you.”

“You painted it just for me?” Isabelle asked in disbelief, it was such a simple gesture that meant so much to Isabelle.

She engulfed Penelope in a hug, which surprised both of them, it seemed like Isabelle’s body hugged her before she could even think.

Isabelle awkwardly pulled away.

Penelope couldn’t resist smiling “You know one day I’ll give you an orange cat figure instead.”

Isabelle raised her eyebrows, “Black cats are perceived as more standoffish but orange cats are perceived as more friendly and open, one day you’ll act like that around us.”

“You’re slowly starting to become part of the family.”

Dragon Ball Ships Week 2023 (2) - Day 1: Karaoke/Juke Box

Days: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Title: Karaoke Party Pairing: Erasa/Gohan Characters: Son Gohan, Son Goten, Chi-Chi and Erasa Summary: Gohan attends to Erasa's birthday party and she makes a move on him. Do not repost, claim to be your own work or use it without perrmission. Cross-posted on AO3

“What?” Gohan raised his eyebrows at the paper in his hands and had a confused look on his face.

“A karaoke party.” Erasa repeated with a lovely smile on her lips. “You’re going, right?”

“Uh…” He scratched the back of his neck. “I’m not sure… I can’t sing, so a karaoke party isn’t for me. I’m sorry, Erasa.”

“Hmmm…” She didn’t bother hiding her disappointment. “I understand that, but are you really going to let that stop you?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“You never try new or different things.” She looked right into his dark eyes and he felt his cheeks burning. “How do you live?”

“How do I… live?”

“That’s right.” She nodded. “You don’t seem to do things teenagers do. When do you have fun?”

“I… I…” Gohan looked around nervously, desperate for a reason to end that conversation, but couldn’t find any. So he went for the only option left for him. “Oh, look at the time! It’s getting late and I need to go home. My mom must be worried. I’ll see you tomorrow, Erasa!” He yelled over his shoulder and waved at his friend while running down the hall.

“Gohan, we’re not finished! Come back here!”

“I’m sorry, I really can’t.”

****

Gohan sat on the rooftop after dinner that night. He stared at the full moon and the stars as he let his mind wander for a while. He couldn’t stop thinking about Erasa had asked him earlier, and he hated to admit it, but she was right. He never had fun. It wasn’t like he didn’t want to sometimes, but his future was on the line. Besides, he didn’t socialize much because things could get out of hand. He sighed deeply and lied down.

“Gohan?” Chi-Chi’s voice echoed in his ears and he turned his head to his left, where she was standing. “Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, everything’s fine, mom. Do you need anything?”

“As a matter of fact, I do.” She moved to sit beside him and embraced her knees, avoiding any eye contact with him. “I need to know what’s on your mind.”

Gohan couldn’t help but let out a small laugh at that. He placed his hands behind his head and stared at the sky once again.

“I was invited to a party.”

“That’s great, son!” She cheered and pressed her hands together. “Whose party is it?”

“Ah, it’s from a friend from school.”

“Videl?”

“No.” Gohan shook his head. “Erasa. I don’t know if you remember her. She only came here once.”

“Hmm, I don’t remember hearing that name before.” Chi-Chi placed her index finger under her chin and looked up, trying to search about it in her mind. “Either way, are you going?”

“No, probably not.”

“And may I know why not?” She inquired and their eyes met for the first time since she joined him.

“Huh?” The teenager raised his eyebrows with surprise. “What do you mean by that? I have to study.”

“There’s nothing wrong with taking a night off, sweetheart.” He was taken by surprise when he felt her hand over his.

“Mom, are you okay?”

“Of course! Why wouldn’t I be?”

“Well, normally you’d say I should study as much as possible, to become a great scientist.”

“Yeah… I started looking at things differently when your father died and Goten was born.” Chi-Chi squeezed his hand lightly. “So I say you should go to this party.”

Gohan bit his lower lip, clearly contemplating the idea, but still unsure about it.

“If you want to, that is. If you don’t, it’s fine too. As long as you’re okay with whatever decision you take.”

“I know. Thanks, mom.”

“You’re welcome.” She smiled warmly at him and then looked up again. “Are you feeling better now?”

“I am.” He nodded. “I really needed to have this conversation.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” She give his shoulder a light squeeze before standing up. “Alright, being here makes me a little dizzy, so I’m going in. Are you?”

“In a few minutes. The sky is very pretty tonight, so I want to look at it a little more.”

“Okay, don’t take too long to go inside. It’s getting a little chilly here.”

“I won’t.”

****

The week went by in the blink of an eye, to Gohan’s relief. Everyone was talking about Erasa’s party and what they’d be wearing for it. Eventually she stopped asking him if he was going, but he could still see the disappointment in her eyes sometimes when they exchanged glances. They made him feel uneasy. To make things worse, he couldn’t stop thinking about what he and Chi-Chi had talked a few nights ago. Maybe he should go to Erasa’s party after all. If he wanted to embrace his earthling side, he would have to act like a normal teenager. That included socializing with other people, even if they did things he didn’t agree with.

****

Goten was happily swinging his legs on his bed and laughing quite loudly while reading a comic when Gohan walked into their shared bedroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

“What are you reading?”

“It’s a comic Trunks lent me. It’s so funny, Gohan. You should read it.”

“What is it about?”

“Oh, it’s about a boy who tries to be a super hero, but fails incredibly.”

Gohan couldn’t help but think that story sounded a lot like Great Saiyaman, except the last part. He could never be a failure as a hero.

“Let me see it.”

“Gohan, don’t you think this boy’s disguise looks like yours?”

The older boy looked down and raised his eyebrows. “It really does. I guess the writer found inspiration on his outfit.”

“Suddenly it’s not so funny anymore.” Goten frowned and threw the comic aside, crossing his arms right after. “You’re so much cooler than him.”

“Haha, thanks Goten.” Gohan chuckled and turned to grab some clothes in his drawer and wardrobe.

“Where are you going?”

“I have a party tonight.”

“I thought you weren’t going.”

“Yeah, I changed my mind.”

“Can I go with you?” Goten asked full of hope and Gohan felt his heart break into a million of pieces.

“I’m sorry, Goten. It’s not a party for children. But I promise I’ll take you to that park nearby tomorrow.”

“You promise?”

“Of course!”

“Yay!” He jumped out of his bed and went to tell Chi-Chi the big news.

Gohan couldn’t help but smile at his little brother and his naivety.

****

Gohan was in awe when he landed outside the place Erasa was having her party. He knew she had a rich family, just like Videl, but he had no idea it was this rich. After a moment of admiration, he shook his head and walked in.

If the outside was already stunning, the inside was hundred times more. Gohan couldn’t help but wonder how much her family must have spent on that party. Probably thousands. The floor looked like a chess board, with black and white floor tiles, and the whole place was decorated with golden and silver, with some red mixed in. It looked like the inside of a castle or a palace. It didn’t take long until a piercing scream echoed in his ears, and he turned towards where voice was coming from.

“You made it!” Erasa came to him with a large grin on her face. “I can’t believe you’re here!”

“Well, you better believe it.” He smiled back at her and felt his cheeks burning when he noticed her outfit. He was taken back when she threw her arms around his neck and jumped on him.

“I’m so glad you came!” She pulled away from him and grabbed his hand, pulling him further down the place. “Come on, let’s go meet everyone.”

Gohan gradually felt more relaxed as time went by. He chatted with both Videl and Sharpner and even watched them go to the dancefloor and dance to a few songs together. Then his eyes fell on his blonde friend and he felt his cheeks burning red for the second time that night. There was something about the way she was dancing that got him mesmerized. Before he knew it, a smile appeared on his lips and he started moving his foot in the rhythm of the song. He followed Erasa as she went to the dancefloor and felt his cheeks become even more redder when she met his gaze and gave her a beautiful smile. It didn’t take long for her to get near him and grab his hand softly.

“Don’t you want to dance?”

“Uh… no.” He replied, looking at her. “I’m a terrible dancer. Believe me, you wouldn’t want to dance with me.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I don’t see why anybody wouldn’t want to dance with you because of that. Besides, I’m sure you’re not that bad.”

“Ah, no. I am. believe me.”

“I’ll decide if you’re a good dancer or not when I see it.” She pulled him to the dancefloor, with much more strength than Gohan was expecting.

****

The cool breeze messed Gohan’s hair when he walked out in the rooftop of the building. At that moment, almost all guests had left. The hybrid Saiyan was about to go home as well, so he went looking for the birthday girl everywhere. Eventually he had to resort to finding her by her ki. And that’s where it led him.

“So this is where you are.”

His cheerful voice echoed in Erasa’s ear and she turned around with the most beautiful grin. This time, not only Gohan felt his cheeks turn bright pink, his heart started beating faster in his chest. He shook his head, trying to hide the blush on his face.

“Yeah, I needed some air.”

“Is everything okay?”

“Everything is fine.” She put a locker of her long blond hair behind her ear. She had put on extensions for her party, but Gohan thought she looked pretty with them. “Did the guests leave yet?”

“All of them, to be honest.” He hoped she wouldn’t feel upset because of that.

“I see. So in other words, you’re the only who’s stayed.”

“Actually, I…” He gave an awkward smile and rubbed the back of his neck. “Basically, yes. Everyone else didn’t know where you were and ended up leaving without saying goodbye. I’m sorry, that wasn’t a nice thing to do.”

“Well, they would have to leave eventually, wouldn’t they?” She sat on a bench nearby and stared at the wall ahead of her.

“Well, yes.” Gohan stopped beside her, behind the bench. He wasn’t sure whether he should sit down or not.

“You can sit down if you want.” Erasa said in a reassuring tone, still not looking at the boy next to her. Instead, she was combing her hair with her fingers.

Without saying a word, he followed her instructions, trying to keep a safe distance from her, so their arms wouldn’t touch accidentally.

“I’m happy you came, Gohan.” She spoke softly beside him, and for the first time since he came out there, they made eye contact.

“I’m glad too.” He confessed with a smile. “I’ve had a great time tonight.”

“You have no idea how happy that makes me.” She beamed with happiness. Then she looked over her shoulder and her smile disappeared. “Too bad the party is over now. It went by so fast.”

“Yeah. Speaking of that…” He motioned to stand and was surprised to feel her holding his hand. He looked over his right shoulder towards her. “Erasa, what are…”

“Do you really have to go?” Her bright blue eyes looked into his black ones and Gohan felt a lump on his throat.

“Yes, I’m afraid so. My mom will be worried if I take too long to arrive.”

“Come on.” She insisted. “Just for half an hour, I promise.”

****

And so the thirty minutes turned into a whole hour. Erasa and Gohan were having fun at the karaoke. The boy felt much relaxed when it was just the two of them and even sang a cheerful pop song that was a big success at the time. He had heard her and Videl sing a lot of time, though the latter never admitted that out loud.

“That was amazing, Gohan!” Erasa exclaimed with a grin and clapped her hands a few times. “You should sing more often.”

“Uh… no, thanks.” He chuckled and scratched the back of his neck. “I’m just as bad at it as I am at dancing.”

“I’ve seen it and I guarantee that you’re not as bad as you think. I’ve seen worse guys, trust me.”

“Thank you, Erasa. That means a lot to me.”

“You look cute when you’re embarrassed.” She stood on her toes and kissed his cheek, feeling her own burning with embarrassment.

It was when she had an idea, so she went to put a love song on the karaoke. Gohan shifted with discomfort in his seat when the first chords of the song started playing in the room. She started singing the first few lines and suddenly stopped; her eyes still locked on her friend. She stood right in front of him.

“Erasa… aren’t you going to sing?” Gohan didn’t know how he managed to speak, with her so close to him.

“I could… but I thought of something more interesting to do right now.” She grabbed his hand; still looking at him intensely.

“R-Really?”

“I’ve had a crush on you for a while now, and I’ve caught you looking at me a few times.”

“I… I…” Gohan felt his hands sweating. He absolutely had no idea how to react in a situation like this.

The following events happened so fast he barely had time to react or understand what was going on. Erasa had her lips pressed against his, and it was only when she had her arms wrapped around his neck that he reluctantly did the same around her waist. She didn’t want to push her luck in deepening their first kiss and scare him. There’d be time for that in the future, she was sure. So she pulled away after a few seconds and giggled when she saw his blushing cheeks.

“I knew you felt something too!” She beamed with happiness and then went to turn off the karaoke. The hybrid Saiyan, on the other hand, looked like a statue. The blonde couldn’t help but find the situation a little funny. “Gohan, you don’t need to be so embarrassed. It was just a kiss.”

“I-I know.” He shook his head and looked at her, offering her a half smile. Then he shoved his hand on his pocket, to pick his phone up. His eyes widened when he realized it was way past the time he promised Chi-Chi he’d be home.

“My mom is going to kill me.” He was happy the words found their way out of his mouth, yet he cursed himself mentally for not saying anything about the kiss instead.

“I can talk to her if you want. After all, I was the one who begged you to stay.”

“Thank you. I’m sure she will understand though.”

“Well, in case she doesn’t… I’m here.”

“Thanks, Erasa.” He motioned to leave the room, but to his surprise – and hers – he came back and kissed her on the left cheek. “Tonight was amazing.”

****

Gohan looked around the street, to make sure there was no one around. When he was sure it was safe enough, he whistled and softly called for the flying nimbus. Flying was usually much better, but he didn’t want to go home that way, considering how much his mind was racing with the last event. Sitting on the fluffy cloud would give him time to think about it. He was sure things between him and Erasa would change from now on, and if he had to be honest, he didn’t mind it at all. He knew they would find a way to get through it.

Weekly Update May 10, 2024

Today was a bad day but the rest of the week was decent all things considered. I got an okay amount of work done, but I’m still really exhausted from school. It might take a bit longer to rest but I’m still trying to do stuff because I’m addicted to work.

Main thing this week was comic work, I’d say I’m 14% done, planning to be better and faster once I’m better rested, I’m going to try to do all panels on the same layer as opposed to a billion layers like before, see if it speeds things up. I’m pretty confident in the story and want to get to writing more but that’s not as high a priority as some other projects.

Music video work, OEB is about 30% boarded, it’s very exhausting to do because of adobe’s interface but it still gets done well enough when I’m in a good mood. I wanted to get making a puppet rig this week, hoping it’d go faster now that I know what I’m doing, especially since I’ve gotten basic ones done faster, but again didn’t have time due to body needing to rest and personal problems. I’ll try again next week, since it looks like work is taking longer than expected to get started back up. I’m also a lot better at rig animation in general now so it should be quicker to do too.

Other music projects, I’m very close to done on one of the two lyric batches so I’ll try to get that done this next week. I’d like to finish off the other one too but I’m very slow. Once my body is rested up enough for my brain to really work those will be the priority, then I’d like to do more. I’ll probably do another cover or so before anything else but I’d really like to do songs based around my OC stories, and maybe I will. At the very least attempting will be a nice exercise.

Other general drawings, I’m trying to figure out when I’ll have time to do more. I’m taking a fair amount of time on each of those now, which sucks since I’ll have to up my comm prices, but I don’t want to push for those until I know exactly how much to change the prices by. I’m not a professional so I don’t want to charge like one.

Anime Campaign stuff: writing my own campaign still, got a huge bite of that done, but not the part I would have wanted. Planning on seven ‘Episodes’, 1, 2, 3, and now 5 are done. I might iron out some kinks with episode 1 but I really want to get episode 4 done before anything else. Might still get some tokens done, but I don’t want to post too many, since ideally I’d like to release my campaign as a prewritten module for free, then offer the maps and tokens as a paid optional add on. Maybe. Either way I need to focus on writing more than I have been, I’ll try to use my insomnia for that.

Minor bits and bobs, music writing impulse is coming back so I’d like to make or finish a little smaller tune, but again that relies on time and OEB and comic are taking priority. If I get BMBO or BATB lyrics done I’ll get tuning a VSQX (or whatever they’re called in vocaloid 5/6) and pass that so we can figure out which voice to use and any tweaks that need to be made. If BMBO is done before BATB I might look into typography animation to see if I can throw together a video for that, since that’ll be less effort than a full video. I’m also always tempted to do a bazillion covers, but I’m not really working towards any actively. The ones I’m debating would be called SSCS, ILMC, LIS or S (again going by initials or partial initials to not say too much). I did a basic VSQX for SSCS but mostly just to test how a certain voice tuned, and I know who I want to sing it but I don’t know what to do with the instruments so I’m not planning to work on it unless inspiration really hits. I have so much desire to do things and not enough body power!

Next week priority will be comic again, I have 4 pages done and one sketched, I’ll be maybe staying up late on Sunday again so I can get a big bite done then if I’m somehow unable tomorrow. OEB is next priority, alongside lyric writing, header/newgrounds collab, then AC writing and token practice. Thanks everyone for being so patient with me not posting much, I’m so sorry I’m so slow to work on bigger projects but I really hope they’re worth it.

[fuddlewuddle]

So, I fancy doing the Tom Cruise challenge, but I’m really bad at doing things day by day, so I’m just going to answer them all now while I have a free moment lol.

Opinions ahead 😆

1. First movie of his you remember seeing:

War of the Worlds at the cinema. I hadn’t actually seen many of his films prior to a few years ago when I decided to work my way through his filmography. I’ve now seen them all, so I quickly made up for lost time.

2. The last movie of his you watched:

A Few Good Men.

3. Which of his movies have you watched the most:

Rock of Ages 14 times and Top Gun: Maverick 11 times.

4. Favourite movie:

TG:M. No question. That movie changed my life.

5. Least favourite movie:

Either Rain Man or Cocktail. I like his performances in them, but I’m not fans of the films as a whole.

6. Favourite character:

Gotta be Mav, though Lestat is a very close second. The dramatic bitch 🥰 (and Les Grossman but shh)

7. Least favourite character:

Probably David Shawn from TAPS.

8. Underrated movie:

The Last Samurai. The friendship between Tom and Ken Watanabe in that film is sublime. Also the quote, “For 500 bucks I’ll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind, I’ll happily kill you for free.” Is pure BDE right there.

9. Most overrated movie:

I don’t think there is one. I think he has one of the strongest filmographies of any actor going and he never phones in a performance. He has so many strong performances and brilliant films, that one’s I think are incredible others have never seen or even heard of. And I know Top Gun and the MI films are always mentioned in relation to him, but I love those films so I’m happy they’re so adored.

10. Favourite haircut:

Either of these two looks. Though I usually prefer his longer hair.

11. Least favourite haircut:

The Minority Report haircut 🥲

12. Which movie would you like to see a sequel to:

Edge of Tomorrow. Or, and I doubt anyone would agree, The Mummy. Mainly because I love him as himbo Nick Morton and I want to see more of him causing chaos when he’s not human.

13. Favourite line from one of his movies:

Other than the quote from The Last Samurai posted above, probably the one from Knight and Day when he’s like, “Nobody follow us, or I’ll kill myself and then her.” 🤣

14. Favourite scene from one of his movies:

Too many to choose from, but I am a very big fan of him singing Pour some sugar on me in Rock of Ages, I must say 🥵

15. Favourite Mission Impossible movie:

Ghost protocol. It’s the one I’ve watched the most. The opening prison scene and the Burj Khalifa scene are just * chef’s kiss *

16. Favourite stunt:

I love all his stunts, because he puts so much time and energy into them they looks effortless, but I have a soft spot for the silly little stunt in Rogue Nation where he just slides over the car bonnet and then falls off instead of landing gracefully 😆

17. Favourite run:

The one in TG:M

18. Which character do you relate to the most:

I’m gonna have to say Mav purely because I’ve written him the most and he feels like a friend at this point.

19. Which character would you like to see Tom play:

Umm..I don’t have anyone specific in mind, but I want him to play another villain like Vincent or Lestat, or another sweary character like Frank TJ Mackey, because I love when he plays darker characters.

20. If you could only watch one his films for the rest of time which would it be:

Top gun : maverick. Hands down.

21. Which director would you like to see him work with:

Guy Ritchie (for the swearing) or David Fincher.

22. A scene where “he does that thing with his face that makes you die inside” the most:

The scene with Ice in TG:M.

23. A sleeper hit (one you thought of as okay and then became a favourite over time):

Rock of Ages. When I first watched it I thought it was enjoyable, but now it’s a comfort film I quote and I know all the songs from.

24. Out of the three films he was nominated for an Oscar for which should he have won it for:

My heart wants to say Magnolia because I LOVE that performance, it’s so fascinating and complex. But he really is incredible in Born on the Fourth of July. He should just have three have won for all three Oscars lol.

25. What’s the performance you think should have been nominated for an Oscar:

Apart from TG:M that he was snubbed for this year, when he effortlessly broke my heart I will say Collateral and A Few Good Men. The first one because the way he goes from completely in control to slowly devolving is masterful, and the second because he goes up against Jack Nicholson in that court room and gives as good as he gets.

26. Favourite 80s era movie besides Top Gun:

The Outsiders, though I do have a soft spot for how pretty he is in Legend.

27. Favourite co star:

Val Kilmer, Miles Teller or Simon Pegg. His chemistry with all three is magical.

28. Favourite fight scene:

The bit in MI:2 when him and Dougray Scott drive at each other on motorbikes, crash into each other in the air and then roll around in the sand before Tom gets a knife nearly in the eye. So dramatic. I love it.

29. Actor you’d like to see him work with:

Ralph Fiennes. He’s my favourite actor, so to see them both in something together would be incredible.

30. Favourite tom era in general:

Now. He looks so good and happy. Baby girl is flourishing. (Though his look when he was doing IWTV stuff was very sexy).

There we go.

Gonna go think about Tom Cruise now 😌

Diary of a teenage Christian girl

Monday 1st August 2024

Writing late at night so this makes no sense. I’m under the covers in Esther’s bunk bed and she’s drawing me. She draws me much prettier than I am and she says I write her much prettier than she used to. I am truly blessed by the lord for such a good friend.

So here’s what happened when we arrived

Apparently we have a room switch up, after we’d unpacked which was annoying but expected. Camp is apparently always sorta unorganised like that! I’m still with Esther, Praise the Lord on high, but with an entirely different group.

In the group there’s 4 other girls, and my sister isnt here. I don’t really mind though. It’s not that we don’t get along, but me and Darlene aren’t very buddy buddy. We chat but run in different circles, it’s fine. I have 8 siblings, I don’t have to be super close with all of them.

The four girls are : Rachel, Mary, Ruth (not the other Ruth, we have a lot of Ruth’s in our church) and Sarah.

It’s kind of encouraged to talk bad about your roommates. Me and Esther do it a lot, and I know they do it too. It seems ingrained into church culture. I see mom do it, I see the ladies at church do it. Everyone’s a judge.

Like how Mary’s a glutton who probably loves food more than the Lord and Rachel’s a slut who admitted to wearing a certain outfit for male attention and Ruth has a necklace with a crystal on it which she swears is fake but I don’t believe it.

Me and Esther are sinners too, everyone is. I think I am the worst and ye the best, I think that I am so much better but the scum of the earth, I am the best Christian in this room and yet the most unworthy in the eyes of the Lord. Ive done a lot for christ, and so has Esther. Esther fasts. She fasts most of her time, and barely eats. I admire her dedication. I fast a lot too, and supliment never eating with praying. Praying so much. I scream to the Lord. Always

If I’m not thinking about God then what am I thinking of? Picture God and Jesus standing on heaven looking at me and judging me. They see everything and every thought. They KNOW!

But other than that I chatted with my roommates and other than the stuff I mentioned they all seemed great. We went to the sermon, which was powerful.

We spent the first hour thirty minutes singing worship songs and praise. I might have permanent hearing problems sorry Lord that last comment was ungrateful for even if the Lord brings sorrow I will rejoice and rejoice in my suffering suffering suffering. I am not suffering. I have the Lord.

I cried during the sermon, when they talked about how Jesus died for me. The guilt could have crushed me and I felt so happy. Happy that I was feeling the right emotions, guilt. Esther was crying too, and I knew she wouldn’t eat tomorrow. Good for her. I should fast too. I would, praying and fasting and praying and begging to be forgiven. Forgiven for what? The crime of existing.

A couple kids collapsed, sobbing, touched by the spirit. It didn’t happen to me. I felt awful, why didn’t I happen to me. It happened to Rachel and she cried about her parents divorce tainting her. At least she’s self aware. I’ll fall to the ground next time. We’re here for threee weeks.

The sermon was on sacrifice. I remember hearing a similar one when I was 7, the day I knew I would gladly die a martyr. I had my martyrship perfectly planned since I was 7, and with a bit of tweaking I’d made a perfect death.

It would be when I was still young, because it would be more inspiring that way. Id be in a situation of oppression. A shooter would come in to my class room, a big scary atheist who hated Christian’s and wanted us dead. And I wouldn’t hide, and would sing Amazing Grace. I would sing amazing grace while he shot me and my final words would be praising the Lord. I would be loved and adored even in death. I would certainly go to heaven. That was my dream. My greatest wish is to die.

Esther showed me her drawing. She’s a great artist, and drew me adorable . She says I am adorable.

She’s adorable too. I’m gonna sleep now.

Forever the Lords

Grace

4/30/2024

(entry i forgot to post) oh goodness, i keep meaning to write and then not writing, and way more time has passed without me making a single entry than i thought. anyway it’s gotten easier every day to do simple tasks like dishes and cleaning and whatnot. but i’m still not doing good in terms of school, and personal hygiene, and cleaning my own room.

i feel like the second i started documenting my daily life i magically got way better and i’m like “dang this defeats the whole purpose of me documenting, because you can’t see most of the change and recovery. it’s already happened. i should’ve started writing when i was crazy and way more psychotic!” but that’s a silly thing to think.

most recent event, i went and saw my friends play! they were doing Shakespeare’s, As You Like It (adapted to be more modern, though i still didn’t understand half of what they were saying.) and i met their aunt they’ve told me a lot about! i found out she’s also in a band that sings covers of older music like 40’s-70’s, she’s even cooler than i was told. then afterwards we went to a restaurant and i got a cheeseburger called the “Freedom Burger” (eagle caws in the distance) it was extremely delicious but also 15 bucks. for a normal sized burger. c’mon now… i don’t care that much about the price anymore cause it was the best burger i’ve ever eaten and i wasn’t the one paying for it. but not much competition because all the burgers i’ve eaten have ranged from bad/subpar fast food to cooked on the grill on our back porch. except for that one burger i used to eat at the mexican restaurant in my hometown. that one was really good. also, A THING OF FRIES WAS 4 DOLLARS?? WHAT? insanity, truly.

anyway, my mental has actually gotten steadily worse throughout this month. i’ve been having more sad days and my delusions are getting the best of me. the other day i was going crazy, like “there’s people watching me through my eyes !!! they can read my mind and i cannot escape, ever !!” and the only way i was able to sooth myself was to just daydream and imagine hurt/comfort scenarios about me hurting myself. i haven’t gotten relapse urges in a long time but i still daydream about it sometimes.

also i still cannot sleep without headphones on because even if i don’t hear a noise that makes me go “THERES SOMETHING OUTSIDE MY WINDOW, DEMONS DEMONS DEMONS. NOW I’M THINKING ABOUT THE DEMONS AND IT’S ATTRACTING THE DEMONS. AAAHHHH.” i’m anxious and can’t relax because i’m waiting to hear a noise.

sigh, i’m censoring a crap ton of this as well because i feel like my mom is going to find it and then confront me about everything i’ve written. maybe it’s just cause i’m sitting next to her right at this very moment. i think that’s it. her presence is making me very reluctant to write about anything super personal. i feel way too exposed right now. i’ll just go back and edit some of this later. (i did not do that.)

anyway, i have a therapy appointment tomorrow. my old therapist quit the profession entirely which is probably a good thing because i already have oversharing issues, having someone who’s entire job is to listen to my problems and who legally can’t tell anyone 99.99% of the shit i say because they could literally get fired if they do, gives me way too much power. i just start telling them shit just because i can, and then they continuously bring it up in other sessions and i’m like “um hahaha, what?? stop trying to bring up my personal issues that i regret telling you, i’m trying to tell you about the plot of my favorite tv show and all of petty drama i have fake arguments about in the shower...?”

going to a therapist willingly rather than because i’m legally required is great because once i make enough mistakes that i’m embarrassed to exist every time i see them and constantly thinking about all the things i’ve said wrong during our sessions. i can just leave. and then never come back. and then once i get bad enough mentally that i’m like “hey maybe i need to start seeing a therapist again.” my old therapist has already quit or moved away or i’m not qualified to see them anymore. yippee.

actually that’s a bad thing because i hate starting over and i hate being abandoned. like. my therapists constantly leaving me is not helping. i always leave them first anyway, but not intentionally, i’ll be having a good time and then my parents will forget to book me appointments more and more until i just stop going because i hate asking them to. i feel like i’m going “HEY MOM HEY DAD, REMEMBER HOW I’M SO SUPER CRAZY THAT I NEED TO GO SEE A DOCTOR SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW DEPRESSED AND SAD AND CRAZY I AM FOR AN ENTIRE HOUR. PLEASE MAKE ME AN ANOTHER APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I NEED IT, IM SO MENTALLY ILL.” like. ugh... ew. no.

anyway while writing this i’m currently procrastinating on doing my 11 late assignments and studying for my permit test i need to take within this week. cries.

[ghostpill79]

3/18

1:20 AM

Just read the first few pages of Megan boyles line blog book. I definitely want to try out the format for my writing and songs. I want to go on a drive and see what happens. I’ve already resorted back to my crazy person sleep schedule. After sleeping normally for a week at home I’m now right back to where I was before spring break. Yay!

1:24 Am

Pissing

Gotta remember to wash my face tonight

Think I’ll go on a drive

Gotta make sure my phone is charged enough firs. I’ll read for like ten more minutes then I’ll go.

Saw a guy from Charlotte on tick tok show a cool guitar lick. I want to be able to come up with cool guitar licks.

Feeling like I have to shit now

Why the fuck is RFK jr. On Vlad Tv

I should clean up the pizza I massacred earlier it’s still on my floor.

1:36 am

Could not scrub off hot honey and crust and sauce from pan so put it in the dish washer. It is not working for some reason… Emma probably fucking broke it , god damn it.

Texted the group chat.

Going to also text that girl if she’s had luck finding an apartment .

1:50 am

Trying to figure out dishwasher

Tried flipping switch to no avail

Oh there we go

Texted Emma back the group chat with a yes? Instead of a yes! Thought both sounded bad. So send a fist emoji to imply triumph?

Going on drive now , want to get drunk. Perhaps will buy alcohol if a store is open. I guess it would have to be a gas station. We shall see!

1:54

I guess I could go to cook out and get food so I don’t have to tomorrow. Sitting in drive thru is not something I like doing though. I wish I didn’t eat that whole pizza. I hate that I did that. Atleast I didn’t eat the whooole thing though. Drinking three cups of water did not surprise my appetite enough. I should have cut it and just put half in the fridge. Next time I’ll do that.

1:59 Am

I never just driven like this at night before well I don’t think so. Not alone. I did with that Anna girl. I can sing to myself in the car. Practicing.

2:16 Am

Looks like most gas stations are closed. It is cool to see things at night. The Christian book store had an Israel flag up which I guess shouldn’t be a surprise.

2:20 Am

I front of another circle k I can’t see the person through the window so unfortunately going to have to get out of my car.

They were open! Now to look at alcohol.

It’s cheaper than I thought.

You can’t buy alcohol after 2 apparently. So many rules that I’m clueless of. Cashier was nice though.

2:36 Am

I’m back at my apartment and want a snack. The calories that will come from the snack should be equivalent to the amount that would have been in the alcohol. Cheetos. I’m going back and writing AM even though it’s probably obvious.

6:08 am

Had a dream where I pulled a long either guitar string or plastic twist it from my back. It just kept going and going. When I looked in the mirror with each string I was ripping out of me my other arm was getting worn away. I was in the bathroom of my old Mitchell glen house. My room was super messau and I had an Echidnas that was giving birth out of its mouth in my bed. It was also my sloth beanie baby. Charlotte was in there. Stuff was just everywhere. Lots of toys. I looked out of the window and

I’m done too tired to continue

4:40 PM

My mom is texting me about if a guy who was looking for a roommate she talked to texted me. Nope. I really hope we find someone so I don’t have to do anything. Especially if it’s all done by them. that would be great.

Exporting a demo of new song called “charlotte “ and emailing it to myself. I like how it sounds so far. Trying not to overthink it. Trying to keep it simple. I’m almost out of storage in my gmail. I try to delete every unnecessary email I get but it doesn’t seem to be working.

I accidentally left the synth base that I’ve decided to cut in the demo. Fuck. Whatever It’s fine.

I have to take a shit. I hope I’m not stealing too much of Megan Boyle’s voice when I do this. I feel like I’m being myself. But who can really know that? Definitely not me.

The reverb on this sounds nice. Trying to make it too drowned out but I want that really dream poppy vibe. Coctu twins style.

Sent the demo to my mom , for possible sense of approval. Will most likely not receive. She probably won’t get what it is. Maybe though.

4:49pm

Turning on sink so Emma can’t hear me shitting. If she’s near by.

Going on a walk to hopefully burn off the Reese cups and muffins I ate earlier. And to enjoy the weather!

It appears to be nice out.

4:57pm

It is cold but not too bad. The “ pet waste station” is overflowing with shit bags. My mom said the demo was “nice “. Have not responded yet. I said “ cool”

5:24pm

It was too cold so leaving early. Don’t know why my car smells like cat piss.

I have a hair in my mouth I can’t get out. My teeth look kind of gross. I forgot to brush them last night. I’ve also eaten nothing but sugar today. Going to try to not to eat too much more today. Will get regular food tomorrow I guess.

5:38pm

Just kind of want to lay down.

Going to masterbate , hopefully will knock me out, need a reset.

FaceTime at 8:45 will probably be 9:00 so will have time to work on track some more before bed.

[atomicallysound]

27/7/23 - late

growing up is hard. it’s 4am right now. well, 3:56am if you wanna be technical about it. i remember the first time i stayed up until 4am i was 8 or 9 years old and i stayed up cuz i was was watching american dad with my sister… then she went to bed and i went playing on my computer. i was listening to spanish flea by herp albert on loop for like three fuckin hours, i remember cuz i drew my oc cakies playing the trumpet. it was actually a pretty good drawing for what i could do at the time, with my fucking mouse and mspaint and all — but that’s besides the point. after all that i went on minecraft and joined random servers and started arguing with people just to be annoying. man, it was so entertaining! it got to 4am at that point and i remmeber thinking “wow, this’ll probably be the latest i’ll EVER stay up!” then my dad came home from wherever the fuck he was and i went to sleep.

but about that… isn’t it something how when you were a kid; staying up was this monumental unheard of action? i always felt so wild staying up to even midnight. now it’s like whatever. just another night.

i’m not even tired yet. i’m TIRED, of course, but i’m not sleepy. i have this fucking headache too. and i can’t stop sneezing, so even if i could sleep, i’d be too busy sneezing to do anything about it. i think i’m getting sick. i don’t know where from since i haven’t really gone anywhere since i quit my job. man, i really fucked myself over by taking a nap earlier! at like 3 or 4pm i was depressed as all hell so i thought i’d sleep it off. it worked, i felt better when i woke up, but i woke up at like 8pm and royally fucked my sleeping schedule… oh well, i’ll just drink a shit ton of coffee tomorrow. or, later, i guess… i don’t really consider past midnight to be “tomorrow” until the sun rises. i don’t really drink coffee anymore… i used to be all about it but the last time i drank it was a deeply terrible latte from like, 3 weeks ago…

i got that deeply terrible latte because i went to starbucks to have a table to write at, and the employees were all having a lovely conversation with eachother and i suddenly felt sorry as hell for coming up to them because then that meant they’d have to stop talking just to give me my stupid drink. i wanted to jump out the fucking window at that point but i’d already walked up to the counter, and i wanted a caramel macchiato but i couldn’t remember if that was simple or hard to make — and i didn’t want to be any more of a bother than i already felt i was, so i decided to order the most basic simplest drink i could think of so they could go back to their conversation sooner, and ordered just an iced latte, please.

maybe i shouldn’t have gone to starbucks anyway because the latte sucked, it was like four fucking bucks for this muddy puddle water with a few ice cubes in it, the table i was writing at sucked & was sticky, these girls behind me kept laughing in my direction and i couldn’t tell if they were laughing AT me or just laughing & happened to look near me, i felt like an idiot, i didn’t even have anything to write about, the fire alarm kept going off cuz they were testing it, honestly why am i even talking about this? who cares? what is wrong with me? why do i feel like the scum of the earth for daring to buy a drink from people who make drinks for a living? maybe there is something wrong with me… or maybe it’s just starbucks. i don’t really like starbucks that much. 90% of my starbucks visits where id buy something have been thoroughly unpleasant. there was an incident with a certain vegan breakfast sandwich. there was a muffin i bought to share with my friend who then decided she didn’t want any and i had to sadly eat this muffin by myself while she just watched. there was a hot chocolate i burned my tongue on. but i will admit, their caramel macchiatos are good.

the birds are singing outside. it’s like 4:30 now. 4:29 if you wanna get technical about it. how have i spent half an hour writing already?

i kinda wanna stay up and go watch the sunrise. but at the same time… sleeping sounds good. goodnight friends

-yellow

[crimsun-n-clover]

playing a show with both of my bands tomorrow :))

it’s not as fun now that my favorite kiddo left. i don’t have my baby sister around to bother and be a bad influence upon. i still love it because being on stage feels better than anything in the fucking world besides probably drugs but i can’t be any more like my father or i will walk into the fucking ocean

i’m in a punk band and a metal band. the punk band recently lost both guitarists so we’re doing songs that aren’t that great because we’re barely scraping by. and i think our drummer desires the new guitarist carnally. and this is after i almost ate her alive for making me play fucking master of puppets because she likes stranger things. jesus fuck. kid, you’re lucky that you’re significantly younger than me and have won me over with your batshit personality.

the metal band has somewhat less talented and experienced musicians but the songs we’re doing are SO much better. we all have more overlap with our taste. plus i’m the vocalist for that one because “yo stevie your metal screams are fucking NASTY” and “oh, stevie? don’t worry about her, that chick is a stone cold ASSASSIN so just show up to the gig and she’ll run her mouth you’re fine,” which means i get the mic and i will make inflammatory comments.

i have to play a deftones song though, which isn’t really my thing. i can sing it and play it fine, but it’s just not my vibe. alas, i can’t ask them to play megadeth songs with me and make it out alive. man i’ll even sing and everything watch me make a goddamn FOOL of myself as long as you don’t bitch about oh nooo guitar hardddd. why this one stevie AAAA

these fucks are lucky i love them so damn much.

the show is at a shitty bar as usual, thank god. last time we were sent to a civic center with the worst acoustics in the WORLD dude. i could’ve recorded something on an edison tube that would’ve sounded better.

maybe afterwards i can FINALLY take all the members of the metal band to see the dnd movie. we’ve been planning this shit for WEEKS and something always goes wrong.

oh and i got 4 new patches for my battle jacket so i’m gonna look fuckin RAD. debating if i should go with the leather pentagram choker or if that’s too much. because i might wear leather pants so like maybe i should draw the line somewhere.

Katakuri x Reader | Modern AU | Apartment 107 | Chapter 4

[1] - [2] - [3]

over 3 months after posting the last chapter: helloooo, i'm back with chapter 4!

— It’s your bed… — you said, helping Katakuri to get extra blankets and a pillow out of his closet. — I can sleep on the floor, it’s totally fine. I don’t want you to be uncomfortable in your own house.

— You’re a guest, you take the bed. — the man replied, placing two or three blankets on the floor, trying to make it as comfortable as possible. The pillow was so thin that it almost didn’t make a difference. But still, the dark haired man wanted you to keep his pillow instead.

And this is all thanks to Cracker and his offer for you to stay the night because “the traffic would be too crazy”. Of course, he assumed his older brother would never let someone special to him leave the house that late in the night. It probably wasn’t out of malice, but it made things get very awkward between you and your neighbor.

— But… — you tried to say something, but he interrupted you.

— (Y/N), it’s okay. — his words sounded so sincere and kind. It sounded like he wasn’t even making an effort, as if he didn’t mind letting you keep his bed.

You just gave him a thankful smile. 

— Thank you, then. You're very kind. — you sat on the bed and realized your clothes were quite uncomfortable. Of course, you weren’t prepared to stay the night. — I don’t want to ask for too much, but… Can I borrow some clothes?

Katakuri nodded and pointed to the first door of his closet as he made himself comfortable on his mattress made out of blankets and sheets. You got up and opened the door and found a large shirt and black sweatpants in the middle of his leather pants and jackets. The shirt was red with a donut print saying “donut just love Christmas?”. The pun made you giggle to yourself. It looked like something you’d give someone for secret Santa as a little joke.

Your intention was to get changed in the bathroom, naturally. But as you got closer to the door, you realized that by the sound of water and singing, Cracker was in the shower.

Getting back to the now shared bedroom, you found Katakuri tossing and turning.

— Hey, close your eyes. — you said and the man did as told, feeling his cheeks get warm right away, knowing what you were about to do. — Don’t open until I say so, please.

The lack of response seemed like a positive answer. Not waiting any longer, you changed into comfortable clothes. It was too large for you, but of course, it made sense. Katakuri was tall and too strong. His clothes would be too big for you anyway.

You sat on the bed again and folded your clothes.

— Can I… Open my eyes now? — his voice broke the silence.

— Yes. — you giggled. — Thank you for the clothes, by the way. I’ll wash it and return it tomorrow.

— It’s no problem at all. As I said, you're the guest.

His bed was big and very comfortable; and the blankets and his pillows were so soft. You assumed that's what sleeping on a cloud would feel like. Your eyes were getting heavy, you barely had time to wish him goodnight before you fell asleep. Meanwhile, Katakuri tried to find a position that wouldn’t make him feel the floor under him. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he fell asleep.

You woke up with the warm rays of light invading the room. Looking at your phone you realized it was past 8 AM already. The Charlottes would probably be awake by now, and you felt kinda bad being the only one still sleeping. 

However, to your surprise, your gentle neighbor was still asleep and there was no noise outside. Cracker was either out or sleeping as well. 

Without making any noise, you got up, took your clothes and went to get changed before making breakfast. It was the least you could do after Katakuri was nice enough to sleep on his bed and lend you clothes. 

You knew him enough to know what he’d like to eat: anything sweet. So you baked a little orange cake and made cookies with the dough you found. You were so distracted preparing breakfast that you didn’t even notice the tall man by the bedroom door, with his dark hair looking quite messy and a sleepy face looking at you. 

His arms crossed and his thoughts were far, looking at you cooking with such care, humming a disney song while the sun beautifully touched your hair. There was just something about that scene right in front of him, that made the man feel a foreign sensation. Something he couldn’t quite explain.

When you turned back and saw Katakuri standing there, your cheeks felt incredibly warm and you felt a bit embarrassed. At the same time, the man was sure his cheeks were dark pink, maybe even red, hoping you wouldn’t find it weird the fact he was staring.

— Good morning. — you both ended up saying at the same time, trying to avoid the awkward silence. 

You giggled a little.

— I… Made breakfast. — you continued, gulping and hoping your neighbor wouldn’t realize you were looking at him mesmerized.

— I saw… It looks very good. Thank you… — Katakuri nodded while neither of you moved. 

Instead, the two of you kept standing there, looking at each other, as if you waited for something to happen.

The sound of another door opening made both of you jump in surprise.

— Good morning, couple! — Cracker said, smiling. — Oh, cookies! — he continued and quickly passed by you to get his breakfast.

You couldn’t tell if you were glad Cracker appeared just in time and broke the ice, or if you were incredibly annoyed by his interruption. However, the three of you ended up having breakfast in almost complete silence that morning.

THE POOL

JJ Maybank wasn't really sure why the Y/L/N family had hired him to clean out their pool when summer started. They seemed to like him around the hotel when they went for meals but he wasn't exactly qualified, he wasn't complaining though, they tip well and it couldn't be that hard.

His only problem was Y/N.

They never got on well. She was friends with Kie in her kook year, who even went as far as to dub her 'the only kook who doesn't make me want to gauge my eyes out', so she knew the pogues from around although they'd grown apart the girls shared no bad blood and always stopped to catch up when they saw each other around.

He was in the middle of raking the leaves from the large pool when he saw her. She was crossing the garden from the large mansion, clad in a bikini with sunglasses perched on the end of her nose. JJ hates how good she looks, her curves perfectly on display and a confident aura around her.

She's got headphones in, he notices as she saunters closer.

"Hi princess," He smirks, watching as she rolls her eyes

"I'm not your princess. How long are you gonna be?" She questions, settling onto one of the sun loungers next to the pool

"An hour or so," JJ states

"Well, could you do it quietly I'm hungover and I wanna just relax," She states, slipping the second headphone back into her ear before he can reply.

He cleans, unaware of her watching him from behind the glasses as she sips on her bottle of cold water. She would never tell anyone but watching him work, his muscles tensing and untensing under his vest shirt, a light sweat from the hot summer day on his skin, she couldn't help herself from thinking he looked good.

He would definitely admit to John B that he thought she looked fit. Her breasts spilling out of her bikini top a little and the barely there thong bottom's high cut making her legs look excruciatingly long. He'd probably make some crude jokes about hate sex being way more fun. He wouldn't admit though, to finding something very comforting about her presence, and finding the way she hummed along to whatever she was listening too adorable.

It's a further 40 minutes, JJ is trying to work out how to get the pool vaccuum to turn on, when her phone rings loudly.

"Hey Sare," Her voice speaks. JJ figures quickly it's Sarah Cameron, the pair are practically inseparable and the whole island knows it.

He half listens to her side of the conversation, more out of boredom than interest.

"No, babes, I love you and all but I really don't wanna. The last million times I've seen Rafe he's been so weird and creepy and I don't wanna be alone with him,"

JJ doesn't know why the comment angers him so much. Why does he even care if Rafe is clearly trying to pull her? It's none of his business. Yet, he can feel his blood boiling at the thought.

"No Sar, if I go and you have to stay with me then you can't go and be with Topper,"

She's silent for a few minutes before sighing "Fine. Fine, I'll come. See you in a minute. Bring me some shorts, I'm in the garden and can't be arsed to go upstairs and find some. You owe me forever,"

JJ wants to scream. Wants to tell her she shouldn't go if she feels uncomfortable around Kelce. He wishes Kie were here, maybe she could talk her into staying where she felt safe.  Maybe she would be able to explain why JJ even gives a shit.

"Maybank," She states, he looks up, trying to act like he hasn't been listening. "I'm going out. You'll be the only one here," She informs

"Okay," He nods.

"My keys are on the kitchen counter, lock up when you're done and I'll just grab them from you at the hotel,"

"All right," He agrees

"When will you be there?" She questions, looking at him like he's an idiot. He groans internally, obviously she needed to know that.

"Tomorrow, 2 until closing,"

'"I'll swing by around 4," She informs. He nods, trying not to stare at her as she lets her hair down from the ponytail it had been in, shaking it out. A car honks outside and she turns, walking up the garden towards the side gates, turning a few metres away,

"Oh, there's an envelope on the kitchen counter with your tip in," She adds

"Thanks. Goodbye princess," He smiles,

"Still not your princess," she shouts back, turning and disappearing round the corner.

THE CAR

JJ felt a lot more in his element when her dad had called him asking if he could fix her car. He hadn't specified it was his eldest daughters, and JJ knew the family owned 7 cards despite only 3 of them even being able to drive.

JJ recognised it though, a white convertible porsche, he'd seen her driving it around before. Wether she was blasting music with the roof down singing with Sarah, picking up a take out from the wreck, driving around in the middle of the night, she'd even given Kie a lift to the Chateau before. He realised that he always seemed to notice her presence.

He was working in the family's garage, the bonnet popped open and grease all over him. It was an easy fix, if a little fiddly.

He jumped out of his skin when the door burst open.  He is immediately taken aback by how good she looks. Clad in a tight black skirt that is ridiculously short, heels and a tight black V neck top with a lace trim around the neck. Her hair falls in bouncy curls around her shoulders and her makeup looks perfect. He would have sworn on everything he'd never seen anyone look so beautiful.

"You're a boy," The girl states.

"Good job noticing that one princess," JJ smirks, she rolls her eyes.

"I have a date and Sarah is being so unhelpful, can you help me pick a top?" She questions, he gulps, nodding.

"Okay, so this is option 1,"

"It looks good,"

"Right. But is it sexy? Do you look at me and think I wanna slam her against a wall and rail her?"

His eyes widen a little, that's one way of putting it he decides.

"Look, I'm your families help, I shouldn't be answering that,"

"Like I care Maybank," She groans, exasperated.

"Okay fine, I look at you in that and I think I wanna rip your clothes off,"

"Okay good. Option 2," She starts. JJ is shocked when she pulls her top off in front of him, without even turning around. He turns around, although not without taking a mental picture of her boobs being pushed up in a red lace bra. "Who knew you were a prude?"

"Just respecting you princess," He comments

"You've seen me in a bikini, what's the difference?" She questions, he stays silent having no quick comment to respond with. "I'm dressed," She states

He turns back around, she looks good, a forest green top made of satin.

"The first one is sexy, that one is cute,"

"Thanks JJ, oh, and hey, thanks for fixing my car,"

"Uh. Yeah, anytime,"

THE SUMMER HOUSE

JJ was happy to paint the summer house. He claimed to his friends it was just because they way over paid and tipped big. In reality it was because for three days straight he would get to catch glimpses of her. And he did.

He saw her when she swam in her pool.

He saw her when she played in the garden with her little sister.

He saw her when she cloud gazed with Sarah Cameron.

The best times he got to see her though, were when she would bring him stuff. Every so often she'd knock on the open door to the summer house, sometimes with water, sometimes with snacks, a few times even with a beer. A couple of times she stopped and made small talk, one time she even smeared paint on his cheek and giggled as he chased her through the garden.

He enters the kitchen, used to how the family worked now. An envelope of money waiting on the kitchen counter, they always seemed to be coming and going so it was easier.

He was shocked to see her in the kitchen, she's scrolling on her phone sipping on what looks to be an iced coffee

"Oh, hey JJ," She smiles

"Hey, I'm done," he informs, she nods, watching as he picks up the envelope "So, I'll be seeing you around,"

"Did you want a lift?" She questions, he looks at her slightly confused "I just noticed your bike wasn't here and it's kinda late to be walking back. It's a long walk,"

"You really don't have to princess,"

"Honestly, it's fine," she assures, jumping up and grabbing her keys before heading towards the garage.

She wasn't sure when she stopped hating JJ Maybank, wasn't sure when she started noticing little things like the blue in his eyes and which snapback he was wearing and how tired he looked. She wasn't sure when the sight of his bike in the driveway started giving her butterflies.

"So where is your bike?" She questions, the roof of the car is down and the wind blowing through her hair as she pulls out of the private estate her home is on.

"Didn't have enough fuel to get to yours and back," He shrugs

"Why didn't you just-" She cuts herself off "Shit, I'm so sorry. That was insanely rude, I wasn't even thinking and-" He chuckles, watching as she splutters and blushes

"It's okay. Life is different on the cut I can understand how a kook princess wouldn't get it," He shrugs, she nods, still not sure what to say.

"Y'know my life isn't perfect," She comments, he scoffs, unable to help himself. "I'm not kidding. It's privileged as fuck, I know that, but it's not perfect,"

"Go on then princess, what's so shit?" He doesn't mean for it to sound so harsh, he's genuinely curious

"My parents, they have basically planned my entire life, down to where I'll go to college, what sorority I'll be in, where I'll work my summer internship, who I'll marry, where I'll get married, which big kook house I'll live in,  at what age I'll have to give up my career, which has been decided for me by them, to start trying for babies. It's 24 by the way so in 8 years. My whole life is decided and I don't want it. I wanna go on a trip around the world and surf and travel and explore. I wanna fall in love and get my heartbroken again and again until I find the right guy. I wanna live in a New York apartment and I wanna see the world. I don't wanna marry Rafe Cameron just cause our mothers are friends. I mean he's literally scary and harasses me and acts like even though I'm 16 I shouldn't have a choice cause one day he'll father my kids. And no one gets it, none of my friends, not even my best friend. The only person who ever understood why it was so shit was Kie and then she left, she left and lives her life and it's fun and exciting and anything could happen. I don't hate her for it but it fucking sucks that she left me miserable. I'll be miserable living my planned out life and then I'll die. Yeah, I have money and that's fucking great, but my life is far from perfect,"

JJ sits in a stunned silence. He's not really sure what to say. Their problems were very different but hers were just as shitty. He feels like he's seeing her in a whole new light.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I don't tell people that and we barely no each other," She mutters, not wanting to look at him

"Where would you go first?" His question surprised her

"On my fictitious surf trip?" She questions, he nods "Europe, Spain I think,"

They sit in silence the rest of the way, it's not awkward though, both of them feel comforted by each other presence. He gives her instructions to the chateau.

"We are probably gonna drink some beers and smoke. You wanna stay? You could crash here and drive home in the morning," JJ offers

"I can't. My family are having dinner at the hotel. Thanks though," She smiles gently

"Yeah. Uh, I hope it's not too shit. Thanks for the ride princess,"

He climbs out of the car, his friends who sit on the porch immediately calling out to him, they're all laughing and teasing him about his lift home and when he looks back he almost thinks he sees a look of longing in her eyes before she's reversing out of the chateau.

THE BOAT

"Can you fix it?" She questions. JJ Maybank has never seen her look nervous before.

It was only 6:30 AM when she'd started banging on the door to the Chateau, tears in her eyes and panic on her face hoping JJ would be here. John B had pulled the door open, half asleep and groaning a little at the bright sunlight. He'd let her into the small home and disappeared to wake JJ up. John B opted not to put too much thought into the way the minute her name was said JJ leaped out of bed and shoved into the living area, the way his hands cupped her cheeks to see if she was okay, the way he was calling her princess as he tried to calm down her hiccuping tears.

"I can fix it," He confirms. They're standing on the deck of her families boat "It's an easy fix princess, okay? don't even worry," He speaks in a comforting tone

"Thank you JJ,"

"No worries. It'll take me a while, you got anywhere to be?"

"No. Well yes, a breakfast thing with the Cameron's but it's at my house and I can't exactly show up without the boat so,"

"So you're hiding out here all day?" JJ questions

"Well, I don't wanna intrude. I can go and hang out at the beach,"

"Don't talk nonsense, you can hang here. C'mon, I need to be down the bottom with the engine, you can sit and entertain me,"

She watches intently as he works, now that he's not working at her house he hasn't bothered with a shirt, instead just wearing shorts and his infamous red baseball cap. He glances at her occasionally, her makeup streaky from crying and wearing a short white dress.

"So, wanna tell me what happened?" He questions

"Not really," She admits, he nods and she sighs before beginning to explain"Rafe wanted to go boating late and then it all went wrong and then we got the boat to the nearest dock, hence why we are in the middle of nowhere, and he said he was going to call someone to get a lift and it was rainy so I was waiting in here.  It had been a while so I went outside to check on him and he was gone. I didn't know what to do. Dad would kill me for breaking the boat, do I just kinda figured I'd walk to yours and hopefully you would no how to fix it. Then I realised I have no clue where you live so I walked to John B's and hoped for the best,"

"He just left you in the middle of nowhere alone?" JJ doesn't know why he's so mad, they were hardly even friends

"Yeah. He texted me to let me know it was cause he's already in shit with his dad and didn't wanna go down for breaking my family's boat," She shrugs, JJ wants to go and find Rafe Cameron and beat his skull in.

"Look, a girl like you deserves someone who would treat them a million times better than that,"

"I always thought you hated me," She admits

"So did I, until this summer I kinda did," He shrugs

"What changed?" She asks, the question is so vulnerable he can't help himself from looking at her

"You aren't what I thought you'd be," He admits, she nods slowly

"How should a girl like me be treated?" She questions

"Like they're the only thing on earth," He's not really sure why he's so openly telling her how he feels but it feels too late now

"Is that how you'd treat me Maybank?"

"Girls like you don't date boys like me," He shrugs, turning quickly back to what he's doing, not wanting her to recognise the disappointment on his face.

THE PARTY

It was no secret her family hosted a big formal party on the 10th of July every year, her parents wedding anniversary. JJ had waited the party the last 2 years and this summer was no different, he'd even managed to get John B and Pope a job too.

His heart had stopped when he saw her, her dress was the exact shade of blue as the sky and flowed beautifully down to her feet, her hair curled with the front pinned back, her makeup beautiful. She looked like an angel approaching him and god why did she have to look so perfect.

"Hey JJ," She smiles, grabbing a glass of champagne from the tray he's holding "Could you do me a favour?"

"Of course," He agrees, expecting some job that needed doing for the party

"If you see Rafe and I'm on my own..." She trails off "I'm trying to avoid him, after the other day,"

It's three hours into the party when JJ grabs her hand, pulling her along behind him and away from Rafe who is clearly trying to catch her alone. He pulls her into a small cupboard slamming the door closed behind him and locking it.

"What was that about?"

"Rafe," He shrugs, he didn't outwardly say he'd been watching her all night to make sure he could look out for her. He also didn't say he would have been watching her all night even if she hadn't asked him too.

"JJ, you know how your coming over next week to fix that one  door that you can't open from inside the cupboard?" She question

"Yeah," He states, peering out of the key hole to see if Rafe is still looking for her

"Well, this is the cupboard,"

"Shit!" He shouts, pulling away from the door to face her. "Shit, it's your parents wedding anniversary and I got you locked in the cupboard,"

"It's alright," She shrugs "They hate each other most the time anyway,"

"Call someone to let you out,"

"Where on this dress did you think there was pockets, you call someone,"

"My phone is in the twinkie,"

"The what?"

"John B's car," JJ sighs. "Fuck princess, I'm so sorry," He groans

"It's fine. Sarah will come looking for me eventually," She shrugs. He nods, watching as she sits down on the ground, patting the space next to her.

He obliges, sitting next to her, knees touching in the tight space.

"You look nice tonight, I like the shirt and tie," She compliments, he can feel himself blush and is glad the cupboard is dark enough she probably can't see it.

"Y'know what you said on the boat the other day?" She questions, he immediately knows what she's referring too "About how girls like me don't date boys like you,"

"Yeah," He confirms

"Why is that?" She questions quietly

"I couldn't make you happy princess. Your parents would hate me. I couldn't take you on the fancy dates you're used to. You wouldn't be happy,"

"My parents love you, they think you're resourceful and hard working. I hate the stuffy dates figure 8 boys take me on," She informs, he laughs a little at that. "Besides, you already make me happy. I'm just saying Maybank, if you don't wanna date me just say it, don't try and put it on me,"

JJ isn't really sure how to react. How to explain he desperately wanted to date her, wanted her to be his girl and wanted to shower her in love and adoration. He isn't sure how to tell her that by inadvertently telling him she wanted to date him she had made him the happiest man on earth. He's not really great with words and it all feels too hard to say.

So, instead, he turns slightly, taking her face in his hands and pulling her to him, his lips crashing against hers and somehow she knows everything he wanted to say.

77. "Naps are life, okay?"

78. "I don't think I could love you anymore than I already do."

79. "I had the weirdest dream..."

80. "I got you a trophy, it's only plastic, but it's for being the best human I know."

81. "Someone keeps leaving love notes in my locker and I don't know if I should find it endearing or creepy..."

82. "I love your voice."

83. "Put me down! I can walk!"

84. "Can... can you come over?"

85. "You're the best."

86. "Can you please stop biting your lip, it's distracting."

87. "I thought you liked love songs!"

88. "I know you're not a fan of Valentine's day... I just thought that maybe I could change your mind..."

89. "You're my favourite know-it-all."

90. "That was the least romantic proposal in the entire history of proposals."

91. "I never knew you were a romantic at heart."

92. "I made it. For you. I know it's not the best, but..."

93. "Let me carry that."

94. "How do you know my favourite drink?" "I'm observant."

95. "We've known each other's for years and I don't think we've ever had a proper conversation."

96. "You're the clumsiest person I know, how did you survive past childhood?"

97. "It's always time for a milkshake."

98. "You know, humming the James Bond theme tune defeats the point of sneaking."

99. "I think your cat wants to kill me."

100. "Where have all my jumpers gone?"

101. "I don't get paid enough for this shit."

102. "Oh my God, I love you."

103. "I told you to bring a jacket."

@writings-of-a-hufflepuff​

104. "Is that my shirt?" "You mean our shirt?"

105. "It's you, it always has been."

106. "You're everything I could've wanted and more."

107. "Kiss me."

108. "Home stopped being a place when you entered my life."

109. "You should probably go home." "But I'm already home."

110. "You're an idiot." "But you love me."

111. "I'd do anything for you."

112. "You took all the pillows so I'm using you as one."

113. "Stop moving and let me braid your hair."

114. "I'm so proud of you."

115. "You are my family."

116. "I'm right here."

117. "Can you just please hold me?"

118. "I'm pretty sure they're my soulmate."

119. "This reminded me of you."

120. "Your hair is really soft."

121. "Are you blushing?"

122. "Can I stay here tonight?"

123. "Because I love you."

124. "Make a wish!"

125. "I love seeing you smile."

126. "You're just a softie."

127. "You are crushing me right now."

128. "Darling I love you and all, but please step out of the kitchen."

129. "Take my hand. Just trust me."

130. "You're the only thing that matters."

131. "Did you know that you talk in your sleep?"

132. "Hey, look at me. Focus on me, alright?"

133. "Why can't I get you out of my head?"

134. "Don't let go."

135. "Stay."

@blisfvll​

136. "You smell really nice."

137. "If you steal the blanket, I'm going to put my cold feet on you."

138. "You're comfy."

139. "But I want to hear you sing."

140. "Don't get up – I'll do it."

141. "Care to give me a back scratch?"

142. "Your bed head is really cute."

143. "How about a kiss?"

144. "Uh oh, I know that look. What do you want?"

145. "Are you really flirting with me right now?"

146. "I like the way your hand fits in mine."

147. "You have something in your hair, umm... do you want me to get it out?"

148. "It's nice that your voice is the first thing I heard today."

149. "This movie is really scary, but you're into it so I'm trying not to cover my face the whole time but– WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?"

150. "Wait, don't pull away... not yet."

151. "Half the time I get too embarrassed to say anything."

152. "No, it's fine. I can wait until you're done talking to them."

153. "No, like... it's just, I can't believe you're actually wearing my clothes."

154. "I've been trying to get ready for like an hour and an half because I know you're going to look so good and I need to try and match up."

155. "I wanted to say 'I love you' for the first time without stuttering, but that failed."

156. "We could order pizza and just stay like this all day."

157. "It's not a double date. We're just third and fourth wheeling."

158. "I remember practicing how to ask you out in the mirror..."

@marauder-exe​

159. "It's not funny!"

160. "That wasn't suppose to happen."

161. "Hurry back."

162. "I can't take you seriously."

163. "Problem solved."

164. "That was embarrassing."

165. "It's freezing in here."

@love-me-a-good-prompt​

166. "I love you, baby."

167. "Hey, cutie."

168. "I promise to love you for the rest of my life."

169. "You're my world."

170. "I don't care if you're sick, catching a cold from kissing you is worth it."

171. "You are so perfect."

172. "Marry me?"

173. "You're the best part of me."

174. "Stay here with me. For the rest of our lives."

175. "I'm speechless, you're so beautiful!"

176. "Come here, I need to hug you."

177. "When everything's wrong, it's you that makes it right."

178. "You're the one."

@raggedy-dxctor​

179. "Well, it's the thought that counts." "Wait, no, don't take my kisses away from me!"

180. "Oh, you've started stealing my socks now?"

181. "You owe me a kiss."

182. "How did you get in here?"

183. "That's not even fair."

184. "You promised me a cookie!"

185. "Ew, that is so sappy, I might vomit."

186. "You're not very intimidating."

187. "That was, by far, the stupidest thing you've ever done."

188. "Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer."

189. "Why the hell is there glitter everywhere?"

@whcczes​

190. "I'll feel much better if you let me walk you home."

191. "Apparently, all our friends have a bet going that we end up together."

192. "You make me feel alive. For the first time ever, I feel like I can breathe."

@moanlightlust​

193. "It's two in the morning and you want to cuddle?"

194. "You shine so bright it's intimidating. I love it."

195. "I'm here."

196. "What's your name again? Sorry, I just got that super weird feeling that we only see in movies, you know? Like, the whole world stopped turning and all I could see was you."

197. "I was born to be yours."

198. "Isn't it a bit too cliché?"

199. "So, you're just kissing strangers for no apparent reasons?"

200. "You'll always be my favourite person."

201. "You're making it weird, stop making it weird."

202. "There's nothing I love more than running back into your arms."

203. "I'm yours. Forever."

204. "You always know how to cheer me up."

205. "I... I lost the ring."

206. "Will you be mine?"

207. "Darling, you look perfect tonight."

208. "You saved my life."

209. "Don't give me that look. No... NO! I said no puppy dog eyes! You know I can't resist them! Argh, fine!"

210. "I missed you and your bad puns and even your horrible cooking and the way you fit perfectly against my body when we cuddle. I just really missed you."

211. "We're a team, remember?"

212. "There's no place I'd rather be than by your side."

213. "Your smile brightens the whole room."

214. "I kinda adopted a puppy behind your back... don't be mad! Look at those cute fluffy paws!"

215. "You're burning up. Guess I need to activate my nurse mode."

216. "I love you. As in more than friends, more than best friends and more than super extra best friends."

217. "I love you just the way you are."

218. "We need to kick his ass, no questions asked. You in?"

219. "Hot chocolate and cuddles? Kisses?"

220. "You make me feel pretty."

221. "You'll always be my best girl."

222. "Never hide yourself from me."

223. "Babe! There's no toilet paper!"

224. "I'll never give up on you."

225. "Do you feel that shirt? That's boyfriend material."

226. "That prank went so wrong."

227. "Care to dance, my love?"

228. "AH! You're stuck with me!"

229. "You're too good to me."

230. "Is it that time of the month?"

231. "Can I braid your hair?"

232. "It's okay to have doubts, as long as you don't let them overwhelm you."

233. "Come here! I can't stand to be so far away from you!"

234. "I got you."

235. "I wanna fall asleep next to you every night and wake up every morning with you by my side."

236. "Stop, I need to finish this!"

237. "I just wanna binge watch The Office, but it's not the same without you."

238. "Because I care about you!"

239. "I just wanted to impress you."

240. "I love you even though your breath stinks right now."

241. "Did you just puke on me?"

242. "We should get drunk and do stupid things."

243. "I always know what you're thinking about, babe. You're like an open book!"

244. "Could you sing to me?"

245. "I, uh, could you... could you play with my hair, please?"

246. "Nooooo, don't leave! I'm cold!"

247. "I think you're suffering from a lack of vitamin me."

248. "A mistletoe? Really?"

249. "Will you join me, love?"

250. "I have feelings for you."

251. "You are the reason."

252. "Take my hand, I wanna show you something..."

253. "You have a lovely name."

254. "You're my everything."

255. "You do know a lot about my blushing schedule."
