Hi! I love matchups! Can I have a rdr2 matchup? :3 if you would like a matchup too let me know! (It can take me some time tho)

I am pretty social, however I prefer to spend time alone! I care about others a lot… To an unhealthy amount honestly but I'm working on it! I love to help others and make them smile, but I do wish I would get something for being so nice in return, yeah it might sound greedy but I want to be appreciated! And get something nice haha, like just a compliment or something, when my helping and kindness gets unnoticed I might get upset because of how tired I am and I just want to be appreciated like I said before 😭 I wanted to be noticed and not ignored! I care too much about what others feel and think and it's tiring, I just want to be selfish sometimes and care about myself even if it sounds mean. I also love being mentioned/involved in things, it makes me feel liked <3

My humor is definitely not for everyone, it's mostly the humor of a 12 y/o kid which can be annoying to some people lmao (sometimes it's funny how people are annoyed by it) and some other things depending on how I feel. When it comes to annoyance I also like to annoy people <3 it's so fun! But I never want to make them really feel bad! Often I act like an asshole but this is just for jokes! (but sometimes I wanna be a real asshole lmao) Like I said I don't want them to actually feel bad, if I do, I will feel very guilty! When it comes to it I apologize A LOT, I apologize so much that it might too annoying but I always feel a sense of guilt inside of me. I'm also VERY sensitive and worry about everything. Ah and I'm pretty dumb and I am not trying to insult myself I am just silly hehe and I'm okay with that. Oh and Im clumsy 😭😭 I have a low self esteem :((

I LOVE LOVE horror and scary things, I can't imagine my life without it, its just a such interesting genre that makes me happy and intrigued! I adore horror games and I'm mostly interested in them, however most of the time I am scared of playing them so I just watch gameplays and stuff like that haha. You can say I am obssesed with horror! (its funny because its easy to scare me haha)

I love to eat food <3 especially sweet things

I also love cute things! Plushies, pink, lolita clothes and other cute things! I just love it so much <3

I love pathetic men! 😍 I am not the smartest and I find high inteligence hot however I also love goofy guys! They are adorable!

I dislike cooking (I love when someone knows to cook however I suck at it)

When it comes to looks I am a chubby girl :"D chin lenght hair with bangs and glasses, my best friend says I have a "puppy face" ❤️

Ahh sorry if its too much! Have a wonderful day/night!

I was actually not expecting anyone to react in any way and request a matchup, but I am so glad you send your note! Thank you for reaching out! Let's get to it! More under "keep reading" :) [@karusenka - tagging you so you won't miss it!]

before I tell you who I match you up with, let me tell you why I decided not to pick other characters!

❝ yeah it might sound greedy but I want to be appreciated! ❞

DUTCH would probably not put you over his plans and his ambitions. No matter how pretty or nice are you, you would probably always be the second option. That's why - DUTCH IS OUT!

❝ I also love being mentioned/involved in things, it makes me feel liked ❞

I have a strong feeling that JAVIER might be too overprotective of you. He'd be simply scared of loosing you, always keeping an eye on you, not letting you go anywhere out of the camp. I feel like he could just go on missions and never involve you in anything except simple camp chores/activities. That's why - JAVIER IS OUT!

❝ Oh and Im clumsy 😭😭 I have a low self esteem :(( ❞ ❝ I'm also VERY sensitive and worry about everything❞

I kinda think that JOHN would be a really bad match for you. Sometimes the words he say can be really insensitive (I remember the things he said to Abigail when they were arguing in the camp...). I feel like he could hurt you by saying something about your clumsyness and he'd never actually notice that you're mad or WHY you are mad. That's why - JOHN IS OUT!

OKAY, SO NOW THE FINAL RESULT...I MATCH YOU WITH...DUM DUM DUM...

SEAN MACGUIRE

Seems like a great option for you! He might not be the best cook, but I'm sure he'd love to involve you in everything he does! Sean would probably care about you, always thinking about you and taking your opinion into account! You'd never get bored since this young man is full of surprises! You said you loved goofy guys, and if I had to be honest - I don't think there is anyone goofier than him! And your love for pathetic man? I'm pretty sure that he could get desperate for you pretty fast, just show him one of your cute dresses and he is on his knees, baby! I am also pretty sure that he'd love to listen to you talking about horror! He'd probably look it up/read about it (at least try to read about it...) so he could discuss with you about it :) Since he has so many people that he treats like family, he'd always go for advice from them after seeing you sad/mad and he was being unsure of what to do. Always trying his best to comfort you and apologize for any harsh words he possibly said. [He'd go to Arthur and be like "oh Arthur :( I fucked up again...! I love her so bad but I think I said something mean, what should I do now?" with sad eyes and lost puppy face.] He'd probably notice little things you do for him. And if you give him any handmade gift (like bracelet or something) he'd wear it 24/7 :]

Thank you for requesting! Hope you are okay with my matchup...Sorry if i disappointed you because you wished for someone else- signed Teaser 👽

The Nanny (pt. 1/?)

⋯⁂ Summary: Mr. Zhongli works at a quaint little daycare, and he’s the children’s favorite. Although, when you come by for the first time with your niece in tow, his curiosity about your anxiety around children has officially been piqued.

⋯⁂ a/n: hiiii this was inspired by a tiny set of asks at @zhongrin's a while back. i've only now gotten around to it lmao. i hope u guys like it! i plan to write more but we'll have to see if that'll work out or not.

⋯⁂ w.c: 717.

⋯⁂ characters: zhongli. gn reader. reader has a niece.

⋯⁂ cw: modern-ish au. reader is nervous around kids and lowkey generally anxious. sorta fluffy.

Mr. Zhongli has been a daycare attendant for quite some time now. He enjoys his job to the fullest—the little ones rarely fail to light up his day. Of course, some days are rougher than others—you can only do so much evading. But he's long since accepted the inevitabilities of life.

He took this job, figuring it'd be much easier than his former jobs. And thus far, he's been right. It is a lot easier for his historic heart, even a couple of years later after taking care of a variety of children from all kinds of backgrounds. To this day, he still enjoys his job—it somehow always brings a sun-kissed smile to his face.

To the average person, the days might blend in a little after a few weeks of working at the daycare. But, for him, he remembers every single day as clearly as the last one. It's his own little curse to bear and has been for an alarmingly long time. Yet, these little ones always make that curse much easier to bear in the long run.

Today was no different for him—people come and go to pick up their kids at various hours of the day. And the kids still adore his stories, at least when he uses simple words and no figures of speech. The less confusing the better. And finally, his deep yet gentle voice lulls many little ones to naptime. Is that his plan all along? He'll never confess.

Today was no different… Keyword: Was.

That's until you arrived during nap time with a sleepy toddler waddling next to you. You're holding your niece's hand while her spare hand rubs at her tired eyes. To Zhongli, she looks like she'll collapse at any moment. So, he speed-walks over to the doors where you entered.

"Hey there…" He greets, accidentally using his baby voice when he speaks. "Ahem—my apologies—good afternoon. You must be new?" He inquires with a soft yet firm voice.

"Y-Yeah, I am." You nod sheepishly. You look down at your niece, muttering her name, to which she doesn't bother responding. You sigh a little. "Uh… This is my niece… I'm babysitting her for, uh…a while… But, y'know… Work…" You sputter out awkwardly.

A nervous gulp restricts airflow when you notice all the tiny bodies of sleeping children behind the attendant. You want out as soon as possible. Children have never been your forte… Even getting along with your peers as a kid was difficult enough.

And Zhongli—while he won't admit it to anyone, especially not you—has never seen someone so fearful around kids. At least, not in this work field. You're the first.

Instead of responding verbally, he gives you a nod before approaching the little girl attached to you. He crouches down to her height, offering a welcoming hand to her—a hand that's gloved with black fabric hiding the old callouses of bygone years.

"Hello…" He speaks with a softer, warmer voice, "What's your name?"

Your niece sleepily tells him her name.

"What a pretty name." He smiles more, "Would you like to join the others in naptime? I'll even let you sleep a little extra—" She immediately runs away from you to rush over to his leg and hold it in her tiny, chubby arms. "Haha," He chuckles, "I will take that as a yes."

Leading her over to the area with all the other napping children, he hands her a fluffy blanket and pillow. She's hasty to flop down onto the floor in front of him and fall fast asleep.

You breathe a sigh of relief at the sight. And then you choke up again when he approaches you again at the door. Even though he's smiling and so very kind, you're not sure where to start let alone do.

"May I have your name? I will add both of your names to the sign-in book." He inquires, and once you tell him your first and last names, he swiftly adds them to the cute, stickered book at his desk.

"Uh…" You mutter, "I'll get out of your hair now…! Bye!" You choke out before nearly charging out of the building at the fastest walking speed he's ever seen.

"Goodbye—" He starts, but by the time he gets the whole word out, you're gone.

*angst ask* 🎻 How would Krow deal with major incompatibilities? If he found out Dove had some personal qualities he really didn't like, or lacked the ones he did.

Like... Dove has no ass. Flat as a pancake. They're allergic to mangoes, a picky eater, or can't handle spice/eat any of his favourite foods in general. They're always doing Stupid White People Shit. They're too afraid of planes and crowds to ever go to India with him. Don't express affection openly/the right way. They're always too tired to do things with him. They're aroace and don't like to be touched. Don't want kids. Oblivious slow walker. Shallow about height. Anish Kapoor fan or doesn't like/do art. Afraid of birds. They're BRITISH.

If they were all of the above or enough to be a poor fit would Krow reconsider his crush, never develop one, or not falter in his obsession? And if he still liked Dove anyway... would it be because he had learned to like them as a person enough to overcome their annoying quirks?

Or would he just be idealizing them out of pure denial and rose tinted Yansanity?

Krowspiracy once again asking the hard questions where I gotta go find my two remaining brain cells and rub them together. /silly

I'm gonna put my response under a read more since I will probably ramble.

I love that one of the sticklers is "flat ass, just a pancake" lmao. If that was the only thing, it'd be a non issue. Krow isn't THAT superficial when it comes to Dove's features.

The mango allergy. That's something Dove can't help, so he's not going to give them a hard time. He won't have mango's or such around them, only eat them occasionally and warn them when he's had some so they know not to kiss him or such if the allergy is THAT severe. This goes in line some with the "can't tolerate spice/eat his favorite foods in general". Some people just can't and Krow can work with that.

As far as being a picky eater... that depends. If it's something he could work with, he would try to gently coach Dove into trying new and different foods. But if it's being a picky eater more in lines of Dove is autistic, then that's something he knows Dove can't really help or control, and would do his best to be patient in regards. Krow probably would get annoyed at times in private, since food IS important to him, but he'd recognize that is a him problem and not a Dove problem.

Some of the other things, we're getting more into things that could give Krow pause. By Stupid White People Shit are we talking like just mild accidentally doesn't recognize own privilege but you point it out and they correct themselves and apologize but you gotta remind them. Or do they almost revel in the fact they're a Stupid White Person? The former Krow can work with. The latter... Uhh... I'll touch on that a bit more later.

Dove being afraid of planes and unable to go to India with him would be a huge bummer to him. He would want to go WITH Dove. Perhaps they can save up for a cruise instead? Or perhaps Krow can get secure enough to go by himself. This bit is not necessarily a deal breaker regardless.

Now we're really getting into like, 'could/would Krow actually continue to love such a person' territory. Being too tired to do things with him would be okay... at first. While Krow is patient, he does have limits. It'd especially be hurtful if Dove is only 'too tired' to do things with him. He'd really start to... question things. And depending, he COULD spiral into more yandere delusional dangerous territory.

Affection expressed differently can be worked with. That's just something to have a conversation about. Same in regards to Dove being aro and/or ace.

Being a slow walker/shallow about height isn't really a deal breaker. The walking Krow can deal with but he WILL eventually get bothered if Dove goes on about his height/their height difference and talk to them of it.

The not wanting kids though. Ooof. That COULD be a deal breaker. The kids do NOT have to be biological, nor does he feel a need to have many. But he would like a kid. He wouldn't force or manipulate or coerce Dove into having a kid. But this would give him so much to think about. To consider.

Not liking art and/or birds is also something serious to Krow. Both are extremely important to him. Being scared of birds is one thing, but if it wasn't fear and dislike... Eeeeeee. And not liking art. Also eeeeeee.

The absolute worst though is being an Anish Kapoor fan and/or British though. /silly

I think in all. If Dove only had one or two of these things, Krow would work with them. Continue to obsess over love them. But having too many or gods above ALL these quirks? I'm not going to be unrealistic and say that Krow WOULDN'T have significant pause. Yes he's a yandere, but he's still a person with his own likes, quirks, interests and so on. He was still his own self before meeting Dove.

I THINK if it was too many incompatible things... Krow's obsession would waver and wane. Krow is patient, he is tolerant. But he has limits.

If it was only a few, if it was only a few... annoyances or quirks. Then Krow can learn to work with Dove about them. Learn to still love them as Dove. Warts and all.

...Ooooorrrr fall down the yan rabbit hole and become increasingly delusional and idealizing them into a person that doesn't truly exist and into the cage they go.

[kheprriverse]

You have to stop making such amazing art. Tumblr is so restricting I can’t possibly reblog it enough /lh But alas. Words also have meaning, right?

Be warned: I may not make any sense because I’m tired <3

Your art is literally so. Inspiring though. Your style is so beautiful and pretty and it’s just somehow— It makes me want to create? Honestly. I’d love to have a style like yours, but also I’m happy with mine! So instead, the inly valid thing to do is EAT YOUR ART AND REBLOG SO MANY TIMES!!! I’m keeping my own style, and building off it: While you and other artists do the same with what you do!

That being said. Your art just makes my day sometimes. Seeing you post gives me such joy and anytime I see the stupid silly (Cedar /Affec) it’s an instant giggling and kicking my feet like a feral child. So much stimming happens, and I literally love every design and thing you come up with. It’s just. Woah <3

My want to eat art is always at a 10/10: Let me consume the heckin heckles out of everything. Like. shredding the entire walls up. Such zoomies from art. Everything about your art most times just feels. Soft and cozy. Makes it feel like home sometimes and probably tastes like. Fluff. (That’s not a taste but whatever. It counts in my brain?) Maybe even like some sweet candy or dish, idek. Tastes aren’t tasting but damn art does arting?

Not only are you a cool and amazing talented artist, you’re also such a cool person beyond that and just so sweet I would just like to hug, yknow? Strangely I feel like I should be like. Somewhat intimidated because COOL PERSON ARTIST WOAH YOU INTERACT WITH ME??!? But also, I’m not… Really that intimidated? I don’t know, feel welcoming, just like the feeling yoir art brings and its just. Comforting?

You and your silly goody personality is so amazing and you’re so talented, I’m gonna flee now back into the ground: Hopefully this made somewhat sense— And that you have a lovely week/day/month— Just time in general!

*descends away*

~ Z

No I won't stop! Only pretty designs and silly guys ✨! (I am also very tired so its all okay. Also apologies if you wanted this answered privately.)

Also I'm gonna cry abkvjadbvjkkdvbad /pos This means so much! I'm very bad with explaining how I feel but I'm gonna try my bets lmao. It makes me so happy to hear that people really like my stuff, AND think I'm a cool person! I want my space to be kinda chill, friendly, etc and I'm very glad that so far I've been doing a pretty good job :'D

tysm again! I'm very glad u like my stuff (and think I'm cool). I woke up a few hours ago with a headache, dizziness, and was just generally feeling kinda bad and couldn't go back to sleep. But seeing this ask has so far made my day 100 times better! I hope the space I provide continues to bring joy (or just general silliness) to you and others <3

(also I'm glad you like my art too. Ive been having weird issues looking @ my own art since December, which I've never had before, so it makes me become a little silly whenever I get a comment on it. Really improves my motivation and lot and helps me continue what I love most: drawing funny guys and beasties :>)

[savepc2023]

Heyoooo! More questions for your PCs!!

If Angel, Brynn, and Caelan were LIs, how would they be like? How do we romance them? If they are impossible to romance, how to befriend them?

ヾ(*ΦωΦ)ツ

OOOH OK SO THIS WAS VERY FUN TO THINK OF ACTUALLY!! I GO A BIIT(A LOT) INTO DETAIL SO I'M KEEPING IT UNDER READ MORE!

also uhmmmmmmmmm suggestive at Brynn's part.

Angel the Delinquent:

"Yeah the nurse isn't here right now," A student sitting on a bench near the nurse's table says. "In fact, they haven't been back for a while now. Said Leighton called for them or sum'. Anyways, what's up with you?"

Species: Human

Personality: Boyish, Confident

Occupation: Student

Role: Love Interest

Relationship: Determinant

Interests: Drawing, Comic Books, Gardening

Angel is a possible love interest that can be encountered either in the school infirmary or the orphanage. If you do not enter the infirmary at least twice within the first three weeks, you'll automatically trigger the second meeting, where you bump into her either in the morning before school, or any time after school. Their dialogue remains mostly the same regardless of when you bump into them: he apologizes before saying they recognize you from somewhere, then she snaps their fingers before recollecting that you have an english class together. They also say you should hang out sometime, just for fun. If you encounter them after twelve am, she'll add that you both should probably get to bed soon.

The infirmary encounter is more interesting, though. It'll happen any random time you step into the infirmary except for the first time. When you walk in, your character notes the nurse isn't present, but there is a student sitting on a bench near their desk. This encounter gives more content, because you get to interact with Angel more. They tell you the nurse has gone to have a talk with Leighton, and ask if he can help you. Then your character notices that she has a bruised lip and a bleeding nose. You have options to either:

Ask for painkillers: -Pain

Say you want to use a bed: -Fatigue

Ask for their name

Choosing either of the first two options has Angel either gesturing towards where the pills are kept or based off of how high your fatigue is: tell you that you do look a bit tired/tell you that you don't look that tired, but they don't give a shit.

If you ask for their name, she introduces himself as 'The great Angel, always at your service. Unless you're a jackass. You can pay me for spending time with my glorious self anytime, but I don't mind hanging out for free, either.' Then they recognize you to be from the orphanage, and invite you to hang out with her sometime.

After taking the pills/taking a nap, you're forced to ask for his name. So you can't exactly go without knowing the mf lmao

After the first encounter you have the option to look for Angel's room in the orphanage, which permanently unlocks that location for you(unlike with Mickey. ..I wanna pay them a visit so bad tf). You can read comics together, go out to the arcade/cafe together(which I won't elaborate much about bc it would become...too long) and vent to her about your day/recent events.

When going into the flower bed it gives you an option to mess with Angel's plants for some godforsaken reason. --Love

Like with Sydney and Robin(and Kylar.. and Whitney. ..) there's almost always an option to flirt with him, but unlike the others, it raises Angel's Amusement, instead. The more this special trait is raised, the easier it is to raise Angel's love and lust for you. Lust is raised only with provocative poses and expressions.

When Angel's love and amusement is high, she approaches you during lunch at school and asks you out mid meal. If you accept, they ask if they can give you a kiss and give you a little peck on the lips. If you reject them, they look disappointed, but shake it off and say they don't really mind you not liking her romantically, but he hopes you don't feel too weirded out to remain friends, because he enjoys your friendship a lot.

After a rejection things pretty much go back to how they were. After accepting, they're more affectionate than usual, almost always wrapping an arm around your waist or holding your hand. There is always an option to tell them to give you some space, and their love is never lowered because of it.

Brynn the Model:

"Oh... so Niki asked you to model for him/her too? ...Nice. I'm Brynn. You're really cute..."

Species: Human

Personality: Quiet, Aloof

Occupation: Student, Model

Role: People of interest

Relationship: Determinant

Interests: Scrapbooking, Listening to music

Brynn is an NPC that can only be encountered at the Photography Studio, and only if you ran into Niki by random in town after gaining a significant amount of fame.

After you're greeted by Niki, Brynn walks by your character and is described as looking 'angelic', because of his snow white hair and ice blue eyes. He catches your eye and asks if you were asked to model for Niki too, after which he remarks you look pretty cute.

You can not encounter Brynn at the orphanage or the school, only at the Photography Studio, and even that is only once a week. His route would be annoying ngl. The second time you walk in for a photoshoot, Niki asks if you'd be open to doing one along with Brynn, saying they'll pay you more for it, an extra £50.

Accepting will raise both Brynn's Curiosity and his lust. There is no love trait for him. Rejecting will have no affect.

During the photoshoot, Niki will ask if you'd be willing to do few topless shots, then some in your underwear and then some nude. No matter what you choose Brynn is always down for all of them. You could go as far as nude shots, after which you get options to get frisky with Brynn🗿.

Finish shoot

Stroke Brynn's thigh: +Brynn's Lust

Choosing the latter will have Brynn flushing ever so slightly and wow would you look at that. Encounter.🗿 And Niki keeps taking shots throughout, dw they pay extra extra.

After the first lewd photo shoot, Brynn always asks you if you'd want to do another one every time you walk into the studio. If you reject, he doesn't say anything and only watches Niki take photos of you for the entire three hours and then sorta. Corners you and asks you if he's done anything wrong. But they don't really do much, only just like. stare at you with big eyes. If you explain you don't wanna fuck he'll leave you be. Either that or you can say you just didn't want to have another lewd photo shoot. The latter starts another encounter, in which Brynn starts by asking if you'd be down for fuckin' without the camera pointed at y'all's naked asses. You can ask him to stop and that'll instantly end the encounter or you can go with it.

If you accept then it's basically the first lewd photoshoot all over again, you stroke his inner thigh, he flushes and leans into you and sex.

It's important to note, during these encounters with Brynn he's always submissive.

It's also important to note that your relationship is more fuck-buddy than anything, you cannot increase Brynn's love for you.

Caelan the Bartender:

"Ha...you're not supposed to be here, are you? Hm. Neither am I. I suppose we can keep eachother's secrets?" The bartender chuckles.

Species: Human

Personality: Calm, Respectful

Occupation: Student, Bartender

Role: People of interest

Relationship: Determinant

Interests: Reading

You can encounter Caelan after buying a fake ID from Briar and getting a job at the Strip Club. After meeting Darryl, you make eye contact with Caelan, who looks surprised for a second before making their way over to you with a knowing smile on their face.

Once near you, they remark that they've seen you around the orphanage, and then talking about how you're not supposed to be here. But neither are they, they joke.

Caelan's interactions are somewhat similar to Alex's. You go through work together, take a break to chat maybe. If you get into an encounter and choose to scream, Caelan gets there to help before security does. Their presence scares off the creep, but Caelan calls the security on their ass. They then proceed to keep a close eye on you throughout the rest of your shift.

During your break, you can choose to either-

Gossip

Ask Caelan about themself: +Caelan's respect

Choosing to gossip has Caelan listening to you talk about stuff you've heard the people at both school and the club say, mostly funny sex related stories. Your most common topic will be the students at the library. They are are freaky. Asking Caelan about themself will not reveal much, they simply state that they're an orphan themself and that they'd been working as a bartender at the club for four months now. It's not much, but you could note that they don't ever invite you to hangout in their room. This is only because they don't spend much time in there anyways, don't worry.

Caelan doesn't have a love or lust trait, instead they have the Caelan's Respect trait. Their respect is raised just by being a decent person and fairly nice, while ignoring Darryl being groped by a random person at the club or fucking someone while you're bartending(they don't give a shit if you're getting freaky while you're doing anything else, they just want you to do your part bro they're tired)

The lower their respect is, the lesser they say when you ask them about themself.

Outside of the strip club, you can sometimes see them taking a walk in the park or bump into them in the school hallways. These interactions are always short however, just a quick wave or hello.

They're the only one out of the three that has a christmas event. If you go to work at the club during christmas, they put a large sized santa hat on you before chuckling and handing you some cash. They admit that they don't know you well enough to know what you'd appreciate as a gift so they decided to let you choose for yourself instead of a shitty mug or something.

WHOOO SO this is loosely a part of my scarian hero/villain au but you need literally no context besides boatem is a team and a heads up for some medical stuff, enjoy the unrequited grumbo >:) this was meant to be a 500 word challenge but somehow is double that, whoops lmao

also idk why but i wrote it from grian's pov, style change i suppose! _______________

"This will only hurt for a moment." Mumbo says that every time he pulls the IV cart towards me.

I don't know why he bothers, I know it's going to hurt. It hurts every time, him repeating the fact doesn't make me any happier about the situation. Maybe he thinks it'll help me prepare for it, that reminding me of the pain will cue me to brace myself against it.

But I know it's coming. It's Sunday evening, after all, we have a schedule for this. Impulse and Pearl mysteriously left the compound about half an hour ago, as they do every week around this time.

I think they took the new guy with them, too. What was his name again? 'S' something, it started with an 'S'. Hmm… St… Sc… I don't know.

Not that it matters right now. Because this will only hurt for a moment.

Mumbo always looks upset whenever he's strapping my wrists down for this. I don't blame him, I wouldn't like it if I had to do it to him, but it just makes me feel terrible. Like I'm some monster about to lash out at him, simplified down to my bare bones, animalistic instincts.

(That did happen the first time, though, I'm not proud of it. The viscera was horrible. I don't like thinking about it, so I don't.)

Either way, I try not to complain about it too much anymore. It's not Mumbo's fault that I'm like this.

Well.

Actually.

…It's entirely his fault, but not in the way most people think. He didn't mean to hurt me, he didn't mean to cause me any pain. I can't blame him for reacting the way he did, even if it's the exact reason I'm stuck in this chair right now.

He was just so, so, scared.

I try to remember that when the needle goes in. I grit my teeth— less from the pain and more from the anticipation— while Mumbo checks the IV bag for what feels like the millionth time now. He finally sits down, leaning on one of the spare gurneys we have in the medical suite.

"Isn't it bad luck, to rest on a gurney?" I ask, watching his sunken eyes blink open. He's not looking at me, but rather the IV bag; we're both stuck here until it's finished draining.

"Something about predicting your own death," I add, because I can tell he's not listening. Mumbo doesn't listen well when it's Sunday evening.

"For as often as you end up on them, I'd rather not think about that expression," he replies, trying to make light of the situation. Or at least, that's what I think he's trying to do. Mumbo looks tired, as he always does, so it's hard to tell whether it's delirium or sarcasm that he's going for.

He looks at me for a moment, and I stare back. His eyelids are heavy, and he seems to be falling asleep sitting up, but he won't. He never sleeps during this strange, shared moment we're forced to have.

I wish he would sleep when it was Sunday evening, so that I don't have to bear the weight of his guilt on my back. I wish I could run the IV alone, and not be forced to make idle small talk, dancing around the elephant in the room that is my existence.

"I'm sorry," Mumbo says, his eyes drifting from mine to my tied-down wrists. I hate this part of the evening the most, when he apologizes half-way. It's been almost a year of incomplete apologies, you'd think by now he'd have figured out how to finish what he wants to say.

"You have nothing to be sorry for," I reply. We both know that I'm lying, but it's the polite thing to say.

"Except I do." Mumbo's getting upset now, I wish I could say I felt the same. It's hard to feel much of anything these days. "And I, I keep trying to fix what I did wrong, but it never comes out right."

He means me. I didn't come out right.

"You were only doing what you thought was best," I say, trying to soften the blow even though I don't want to. I'm too tired to deal with one of his spirals right now, as much as a part of myself wants to lash out at him. It isn't the time, we're both too exhausted to deal with the mess that is us.

"No, no, stop it. Please, stop saying that," Mumbo snaps. He's looking at me properly now, all cross and with a pinched face, and I think I've done something wrong. His eyes have moved beyond empty now, like he's looking through me and talking to someone else.

I think, in his mind, he is talking to someone else.

"Stop trying to say what I did was right, stop trying to protect me from my own choices," he says, but softly this time, like I'm a feral dog who's been scared into a corner. "I messed up, I was selfish and did this because I wanted to feel like I didn't fail you."

"Fail him, you mean." I didn't mean to correct him, but those words have been sitting in my mouth, festering a bitter rot on my tongue since I met Mumbo eleven months ago.

I'm not angry with Mumbo. I'm angry with me. I'm angry with my recklessness, with my stubbornness, I'm angry with a version of myself that the man in front of me would have moved heaven and earth for.

I'm angry with a me who is dead, and I'm angry that Mumbo loved that version of myself so much that he tried to give him second breath. I'm angry that my flesh and blood is from a person who is me, but isn't at the same time, and I'm angry that I'm not him.

Because every Sunday evening, while I'm trapped in a chair with an IV drip I need weekly to keep this stupid, cobbled together body alive, Mumbo's heart won't stop bleeding, and I'm not the person who can patch it up for him.

That person is dead, and I was supposed to be his replacement.

When I opened my eyes for the very first time those months ago, what I saw was a man with all the love in the world for 'me', weeping for joy.

And I don't feel the same for him— or, better said, this version of him doesn't, at the very least. Seems that dying breaks your heart along with stopping it.

I can live with not having him for a partner, but he couldn't. He still can't. And he doesn't realize it, but I can tell. Every time he looks at me, he's waiting for a reply that I can never seem to get right. To everyone else, I'm the spitting image and have the same verbosity as who I used to be, but not to Mumbo.

He looks at me like I'm an experiment gone wrong, and I loath that he's right.

Alright, so maybe I am cross with Mumbo. A little bit. I don't want to be, but I am.

"This will only hurt for a moment." What a horrible lie.

THE POV MAKES THIS ALL THE MORE BETTER HONESTLY Bruh this was SO good. It puts you in his head and makes you feel the emotions more- lvoe it love it love it

[celustine]

oh anon you have no clue what kind of yap machine you've just unleashed (<-thinks about this so often my headmates are sick of it)

first of all. if he's with another human person, he's a top, maybe switch with a sub lean. he likes being in control, and he has a freaky possessive side. he can even get a little bit aggressive/vent out his frustrations while having sex, especially if he's feeling insecure about something irl... like his extreme religious guilt, or the fact that the real cesar is 100% straight and mark has no chance with him. he doesn't get violent, you might just walk away with a few more bruises/hickies and a more pronounced limp than usual because he didn't hold anything back. side note, my canon's mark was cis, but i do also have trans headcannons :3 pretty much the same as cis mark, he prefers topping, the only difference is that he has a strap instead... and he's a bit more aggressive because he's insecure about his masculinity due to how much toxicity he was raised with. so much potential to play with that >:3 when he's with alt!cesar? 99% of the time, that thing is railing him whether he's on top or bottom, and he is firmly a sub. it's either shoving a 10 inch alien cock as far into him as it will go, shoving tentacles in as many holes it can, or dislocating a few of its own joints so that it can ram its pussy directed onto his dick so hard that the bed frame hitting the wall can be heard from two houses over. by the end of it mark is too exhausted to move and his entire body is sore lmao. alt!cesar is very strong and gets very, very excited over mark, whether the sex is consensual or not. in abnormal circumstances (which i have some drafts of :3) mark would overpower alt!cesar and use it as a... 'stress reliever' ;) if we're assuming it's post-vol 1, and he survived the attack, his morals are so fucking broken by that point that he has no qualms about beating the shit out of the thing that tormented him for 3 days. and he especially has no issue using it as his own personal fleshlight. very strongly a dom and a top in this scenario. however... alt!cesar is enjoying it the whole time, and it's the real dom here. it's riling him up to get him to lash out at it, and it can break free whenever it wants. once it gets bored mark is going to lose that 'dom top' status veryyy quickly. if alt!cesar and mark had a consensual and HEALTHY relationship with strong boundaries and apologies from both sides? then they'd either be having a competitive freak-off to hide how flustered they both are or have the most awkward and soft sex ever. i'm tired so i'm just going to leave it at that, but i might elaborate on that later bc there's a LOT behind why i think that.

eeee thank you for asking abt him i love any excuse i get to think about him ^-^

also sorry bout that i wasn't aware the gifs made it hard to ask questions, moved them and made the box bigger 🫡 strawpage won't let me make it taller so i hope making it wider helps enough..?

[neodreamgirl]

there's so many things that have been bothering me these past couple of weeks...

but what I really want to talk about is the fear I have of becoming depressed again. things are difficult right now for me financially, and I am finding it very hard to find a new job. throughout this difficult transition of being a college student to being an adult navigating the real world, I have been lucky enough to still be on anti-depressants. they block the extreme negative emotions that come with depression, but I still feel secondary things. my mood is very low, I feel tired often, I don't want to talk to anyone, and most of all, I feel shame. you can also add in a touch of frustration to the mix.

actually, frustration might be what i have been feeling all along. i'm dissatisfied with where i'm at in life. I feel embarrassed, ashamed...it seems like no matter how many job applications I fill out, no one thinks i'm worthy of hearing back. every time I walk into my job, I get a headache. i'm so frustrated and upset with myself because there is no one to blame but me. my efforts may not be enough. my resume is garbage. maybe i'm not hungry enough for success and the cosmos are acting accordingly? I don't know...

but there's something so humorous about this. there are two other things bothering me at the moment, too, but I can't seem to focus on them. I think I have learned to prioritize better now that i'm 25...the frontal lobe is in full effect it seems. I feel like i've detached from this guy that I was dating for about 3/4 months. at first, I was full of anxiety when he suddenly stopped texting me, but it went away after I made note that I have abandonment issues (LMAO?). i'm upset that we aren't talking right now, but I'm not too sure why it isn't bothering me as much. or maybe it's bothering me so much which is why I haven't reached out to any of my friends about it. someone that I considered my best friend hurt me, too. I had considered her my best friend for 5+ years and she turned around and threw my struggles in my face when I couldn't be there for her because of them. she hasn't apologized for it, either. she acts like she did nothing wrong. that sucks. but, I also haven't reached out to anyone to tell them how much it bothered me that she texted me recently like nothing. she ignored my text about how I feel like she doesn't care about what I have to say, therefore I feel like we should take a break from our friendship. she ignored that text for weeks.

these two situations and the way i'm handlng them feels new to me. I usually get very anxious over being ghosted and super upset when someone I considered close pisses me off/hurts me. instead, it's like a shallow feeling of disappointment mixed with sadness. the best part about the guy and my best friend is that this all happened at the same time. both of them just disappointing me back to back.

i think my frustration overshadows every other emotion. my frustration seems to be the driving force behind me isolating myself and wanting to stay in bed all day on my phone, laptop or reading a book. in fact, the only thing I have interest in doing is sleeping, pilates, and reading. i'm afraid that if this goes on, i'll become depressed...I don't like who I am when I am depressed. maybe the anti depressants will prevent that from happening, but still. it feels like I don't have the energy or motivation to interact with people, which is probably why I'm not hitting up that guy, bothering him and asking him if he's okay. it's like i'm content with not speaking to him at the moment. I don't want to go back and forth with my "best friend" because I know she won't listen, but also because I don't have the energy. I feel like I need to let these things run their course while I stay in my own bubble and figure out what my next step is with work. what do I do? who do I talk to? how do I lock in? I feel like hiding from the world until I have it figured it out. which sucks, and I know it isn't healthy, but it feels nice for a while...

[moonlightperseus]

I get that. I was kind of like "it won't be good, bit it WILL be babs" and that was almost enough for me. I tried. I just didn't succeed.

I am an hour away from finishing the Graceling audio book and I just? Cannot get myself to listen to it. I had to renew it just for AN HOUR. That's my biggest issue with audio books. But everyone's different. I understand you liking them for long drives.

I liked seeing Dinah have a mom lmao. That was literally my favorite part I don't even remember what else happened.

That's fine I haven't continued bombshells. We're in this together 💔 I'm glad you're enjoying the others though!! I forgot actually that I was going to look into buying my brother a zatanna comic for Christmas. So thank you for accidentally reminding me.

I went to them a lot when I was little because all of my big siblings were super into them but then I stopped for a while and only wanted to go this year for art I didn't buy. They ARE fun but also yeah I spent like a solid 4 hours too overwhelmed and just not wanting to be there.

And I DID draw her. I hate it, because I'm not good at what I do. But the cosplayer did lead to me drawing a Dinah and posting her on my silly little art account.

The delay is fine dw. We're equally bad at being timely it seems.

I will just add a quick note though: I was scrolling through Amazon and saw leverage and I ALMOST watched it because of you. (until I remembered that I am a disaster and cannot sit through a single episode of anything and it was a lost cause)

i would like to apologize because it has been basically 2 weeks since i received this ask. i apologize. i have been busy and tired 😔

oh yeah i def have a harder time remembering to read audiobooks when i’m just chilling at home. it’s like. yeah i could put my headphones on and listen while i do chore stuff but that requires me to motivate myself to do said chore stuff 😭 sometimes i’ll listen to audiobooks when i’m alone at work (sometimes it’s a little hard when dogs are barking) or when i go on a walk with my dog and that’s been helping me with reading outside of just long car rides.

i think i started the annual of injustice2 before i went on my unintentional comic break (had a friends wedding and just Life happening) but i need to actually commit to continuing my read. for a little bit before my break i had started on some of the old dc/marvel amalgam comic specials because i think the concept of mashing characters together, especially from different comic universes, is really fun.

oh!! so i was away at the beach for my friends wedding (wild that i am old enough that the friends my age are getting married.) but while we were there my family went to a flea market and i found some of the old guard tales through time comics for 2$ each and i bought three of them. i haven’t cracked any of them open or even taken them out of their plastic sleeves yet but i’m proud of myself for getting them bc they are used (though in pretty good condition) i’m not a fan of the traditional tog comic art but, at least for the one joenicky one, the art is a lot more my speed. and i got the andy and nile cover ones too because. women.

i think i would like to go to a comic con eventually. at some point. a smaller con though probably.

if you ever feel like sharing i would love to see ur art/art account!!

omg i love that you associate me w leverage. i do LOVE that show and heavily recommend it to anyone seeking out a new show but i completely understand you not seeking out a show rn! (if u ever do feel like checking it out i would love to hear ur thoughts but no pressure)

hope you have been doing well in these past two weeks and i promise i will try to not unintentionally ghost you again for two weeks i really kept meaning to reply to this ask but also kept forgetting 😔

[hard-core-super-star]

oh so it's a bad habit, I thought it was a way for you to not think too much and get anxious about it. was that a rhetorical question? I really didn't understand jdjkska (I'm still sleepy sorry, I woke up earlier than usual) I don't know if it's any use but as I mentioned before, but I think your fics have the amount of information necessary to give context to the reader and let them get involved in the situation happening there without getting something too massive and tiring or getting too dry and with nothing to base it on, but I understand that your struggle with this doesn't seem to be new so it's not something that a compliment can change overnight, but I hope you can become more confident about it over time because your writing is that good. hmm so you like having me as your only star? BUT WAIT, why do we need to revisit the greedy talk? I didn't say anything, I'm really (trying really hard now) behaving 😭 “this peace won’t last long” UM- EXCUSE ME?? you're doing it on purpose to prove me wrong, I see you and it won't work

nah, you're okay, and I was too busy finding it funny to think about it. and don't worry, take your time, it's okay, you can take as long as you want to respond. WHAT ATTITUDE? I swear you're making some accusations just to throw me off track and not give me my third star 🤏😎 am i.... 🤏🕶️🤨 right??

I knew it!!ksjakka use on me later? 🤨

I'm trying to act cool right now because it distracted me- but now I am SHOCKED by your lack of faith in me!! why do you think I won't make it? I'm literally getting it very easily.

– 🌟

i think it's both at this point. yeah, it was just a stupid joke before i went off on my rant lmao. [don't apologize, you're fine!] i know you've said it before but like you said, this is something i’ve been struggling with for a while so some extra reassurance doesn't hurt at all. i really appreciate your support. and your understanding ‘cause it still baffles me how well you understand the intentions behind what i write. and yes, i do like having you as my only star and that's what the greedy comment was about 👀 maybe i’m just trying to test you to see how sincere you are, think about that 😄

i know i could take forever to reply and you wouldn't mind but that means we wouldn't get to talk as much which is quite a sad thought. you don't consider your little “nu-uh no way” as attitude???

well, considering you're pretty much the only person i talk to, it's not like i can use it/send it to anyone else so 😐😑😐😑

i’d like to hear more about you being distracted 👀 i don't know, you just have that vibe. like you'll make me believe you're super behaved and then BAM, you'll throw something at me and leave my mind blank again. i’m just trying to stay vigilant so i don't end up looking like a fool.

[ups3tti]

Oh holyshit okay Its late and I'm not gonna bother to cite any of this because I'm tired but I do in fact think about this stuff more than I should. This is also going to be really ramble I apologize. A foil is typically used to describe a character that contrasts strongly with another character, and usually amplifies the traits of that other character accordingly. On the surface level, Rex and Van Kleiss already do this, at least in the sense of contrast. You have this dark, god of his own realm, humanity-be-damned middle-aged scientist vs an enthusiastic, thrill-seeking, friendly, literally-saves-people-daily teenager. The contrasts gets more intense the more you look at them. Rex is a soldier, Van Kleiss is a commander. Van Kleiss tends to stay outwardly collected or calm, Rex is much more emotion-driven. (In that same vein, I'm pretty sure there are points where Van Kleiss lets his emotions get the better of him when it *really* counts, whereas Rex has been shown to restrain himself more than once). Van Kleiss corrupts, Rex heals (I believe they even use opposite hands when de-evoing/evoing someone). Van Kleiss needs to take on nanites to survive, Rex needs to constantly off-load nanites or he could die. Van Kleiss is a scientist, Rex is a product of science. Van Kleiss will kill without a second thought, and Rex won't even kill those who have it out for him. Van Kleiss spent the series in the pursuit of god-like power, Rex gave up that power the second he gained it, after ensuring no one else could do the same. You get the picture, and yes there's more. They also do amplify each other's traits pretty well. My favourite example is in the episode Hidden in Sand (I think that's its name), the sand-maze-zag-team-up episode. Rex is very obviously angry and upset at the situation, and that gets amplified when compared to how much calmer Van Kleiss is. Van Kleiss and his disregard for life vs Rex and his care for it is pretty self explanatory, but again, these traits are made more stark by the way they contrast. My favorite point of contrast between them is Van Kleiss and his near-limitless choices vs Rex and his lack thereof. From the moment we see them this is SO obvious. Rex's room is practically a cell, he's not allowed outside Providence, all he KNOWS is Providence, and when they do let him out its for their goals. The first friend he makes outside of it is literally paid by Providence to keep an eye on him. He has no memory before Providence, and his survival hinges on the fact that Six and Holiday convinced White Knight he was useful. Any time he strays from that, his life gets limited and/or threatened. Van Kleiss has the whole of Abysus. He can literally manipulate every aspect of that place to his will, including weather. He lives in what can only be described as a castle, with a big ol' lab under it. He even holds Rex's past. Even if he can't leave Abysus at first, he commands tons of evos who can, and it was only a matter of getting Abysus soil out of Abysus to let Van Kleiss go anywhere he wanted. This type of thing ALSO ties in with Rex and Breach / Circe parallels or White Knight and Van Kleiss parallels but we don't have time to unpack all that! That's all! Not really but its all I have off the top of my head! Hope this is what you wanted lmao

Honestly I think the best description of Rex and Van Kleiss is if you asked them what audacity they had to do something, both characters would say “it’s me. I’m the audacity” but it would mean wildly different things.

[ai-higurashi]

This was first supposed to be for mermay, which then turned into Pride month, then July came along and now it’s fucking August.

So… yeah

Beakley is a blue-ringed octopus kind of mermaid (they may be tiny af, but they’re one of the most venomous animals and can kill you in minutes) and Morgana is a leafy seadragon mermaid

I specially love this one a lot, so here’s an alternative version to appreciate the colors bc I said so:

[falcqns]

single dad!bucky with a teenage daughter who doesn't like you at all bc she thinks you ruined her parents marriage and you take all of bucky's time

𝖘𝖍𝖔𝖜 𝖒𝖊 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖊𝖘 𝖜𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖘 𝖌𝖆𝖛𝖊 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖘𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖘

☼ 𝔭𝔞𝔦𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔰: single dad!tfatws!Bucky Barnes x Reader, single dad!tfatws!Bucky Barnes x ofc!daughter!Willow Barnes

☼ 𝔰𝔲𝔪𝔪𝔞𝔯𝔶: Bucky's daughter Willow doesn't like you, and you're determined to change that. then, a late night call changes everything.

☼ 𝔴𝔞𝔯𝔫𝔨𝔫𝔤𝔰: dad!Bucky, angst, fluff, abusive parent (not bucky), fluff. takes place during ep 6 of fatws (one world one people)

☼ 𝔞/𝔫: title is from Willow by Taylor Swift. thank you for the request and i hope you enjoy! i also chose this gif because the blonde girl is what i imagine Willow to look like! i also apologize, this is really long LMAO.

"no, daddy!" Willow cried, stomping her feet. "i don't want to go to the mall with her!" Bucky sighed, running his fingers through his hair, and resisted the urge to yell back. his newly 13 year old was struggling, and yelling wasn't going to do anything except make the situation worse.

"honey, i don't know why you don't like her, but she's trying to make things right between you two. you need to go back to school shopping, and I have to go help Uncle Sam at the VA, and Aunt Sarah is busy, so my only other option right now is Y/N. she is my girlfriend, and i love her. that is something you are going to have to accept." he said, and she stomped again.

"no, daddy. i won't. what about Auntie Becca?" she asked, and Bucky sighed. his patience with his daughter was wearing thin, and he was about 2 minutes away from yelling, something he desperately didn't want to do. whenever he yelled, she would tense up in fear, and her beautiful cerulean eyes that she got from him would fill with tears and terror.

"you know Auntie Becca can't. she's getting older, honey. she can't go out for longer periods of time anymore. if it was something else like clothes shopping, i would say yes, but you have to go to multiple stores, and it would tire her out too much. i'm sorry." he said, and breathed heavily out of his nose as she grunted, an angry look on her little red face, and stormed away, most likely to call her mother.

Bucky swore as soon as she was out of earshot. she was just like her mother, and as much as Bucky loved his daughter, sometimes he wished that you were her mother instead of his ex wife Alexis, who tended to fill Willow's head with lies. lies that were turning into the complete opposite of the sweet girl she was when she was little. lies that turned her against you.

he knew that Alexis really didn't care about Willow. as soon as she grew out of her toddler years, Alexis didn't want the blonde, curly haired little girl anymore, and that meant she didn't want Bucky anymore. she would pay Willow off to leave her alone, and would fill her head with nonsense, all because Bucky chose Willow when he was given an ultimatum by Alexis; her or Willow.

and there wasn't even anything Bucky could do about it. Alexis wouldn't sign away her rights, and that meant that Willow had to continue to see her, per the court documents that sat in his home office behind him.

he pulled his phone out of his pocket, and unlocked it. he found your contact, and hit the text to speech button.

"she'll go, but she's still in a mood." he said, and sent it when all the text appeared.

you answered moments later.

'she's just a teenager. i'll give her some ice cream and take her to get her nails done and she'll love me.' you responded, and Bucky chuckled, before grabbing a beer from the fridge, and flopping onto the couch.

"daddy, can you do my hair?" Willow asked as she strolled into Bucky's room. Bucky groaned from where his head was buried underneath the pillow.

"flower, it's 9 am." Bucky responded, wrapping the comforter tighter around him.

"exactly daddy. everyone else in the world is up, and you've had more sleep than any human alive right now. get your bum bum up and do my hair. i'm leaving in an hour." she said, and Bucky sighed over dramatically and lifted his head from under the pillow.

"go get your hair stuff. let me get dressed." he said, and Willow dashed out of the room. he groaned, and pulled his body from the bed. he grabbed a random shirt out of his closet and pulled it over his body as Willow marched back into the room with her hair basket in her hands. she waltzed into the bathroom, and placed the bin on the counter before grabbing the stool and plopping down onto it.

Bucky followed her in, and picked up the wide tooth comb, combing through any knots and tangles he found, before twisting and pulling her soft blonde ringlets into two braids on either side of her face, and bringing them around and securing them together at the back.

"there. have you eaten?" he asked, as he followed Willow out of the bathroom and into the living room.

"yep."

"did you make a mess of my kitchen?"

"obviously. but i cleaned it."

"putting the dirty dishes in the sink is not 'cleaning the kitchen'."

"okay, then i didn't clean the kitchen but i will right now." she said before darting into the kitchen. she transferred the bowls and plates into the dishwasher.

"good. did you brush your teeth?"

"i'm about to."

"good. take your phone with you. i might have to leave with Sam to go deal with Karli, and if i do i'll text you." he said, pulling a coffee cup out of the cupboard. "look at that," he said, smiling at the fresh pot of coffee in the pot. "you are the best daughter in the world."

"well i don't want you acting like the grumpy old man you are deep down." Willow said as she passed Bucky to put the milk back in the fridge. when she turned back towards him as she closed the door, he leant forward and flicked her in forehead.

"don't be a jackass."

"says the biggest jackass in the world."

"5 bucks, swear jar."

"ugh!" she groaned, and trudged to her room to grab the $5.

Bucky chuckled, and walked back to his room with his coffee cup in hand.

Willow came in a while later, and gave Bucky one last hug, before he heard the door open and close, and the two of you were off shopping. Bucky sat down on the bed, and sipped his coffee, before his phone went off. he grabbed it off his night stand, and sighed when he saw Sam's contact.

he answered, and held it to his ear. "hey."

"hey, man." Sam replied. "i got a lead on Karli. she's headed for New York. the GRC are having their final vote there."

Bucky placed his coffee cup down, and stood from the bed. "give me the coordinates and i can be there as soon as possible."

you were walking with Willow towards Old Navy when her phone went off followed by yours.

"no!" she whined, and you stopped.

"what's wrong?" you asked softly, and she showed you her phone that had a message from Bucky letting her know that he had to go help Sam deal with Karli. "shit." you said.

"you should put money in the swear jar." she grumbled, and you smiled.

"does that mean you have to go to your moms tonight?" you asked, as the two of you continued walking.

"yeah. can you give me a ride?"

"say the magic word and i can." you retorted and smiled when she rolled her eyes.

"PLEASE can you drive me to my moms house."

"of course i can. glad to know your father taught you some manners which is surprising since he doesn't have any. let's get you some jeans." you said, and lead her into the store, completely missing the smile that broke out on her face.

you were awoken hours later by your phone ringing. you groaned from your spot in Bucky's bed, and grabbed your phone off the charger. you hoped it was Bucky, and you were slightly disappointed when it wasn't, but you became concerned when you saw Willow's ID.

"Willow?" you asked into the phone. "everything okay? it's like 2 am."

"Y/N," she asked, choking out a sob. you shot up from the bed, and grabbed a pair of Bucky's sweatpants from the floor. you put the phone on speaker. "c-can you come get me? i wanna come home."

"i'm on my way. what's going on?" you asked, as you pulled on a shirt, and searched for your keys.

"m-mom's really mad. she was saying bad things about you, and i t-tried to stand up for you, but she just got even more mad. she called me a bitch and told me she wished i was never born." she managed out before she broke down into even more sobs.

"i'm on my way, honey. just stay on the phone with me." you said as you scooped up Alpine, and grabbed the keys to your car. you headed out the door, and moments later, you were racing to get Willow.

as soon as you arrived at her mothers house (mansion, more like) you saw her. she was sitting outside with her bags around her, sobbing. her tiny body was shaking from the cold night air, and your heart broke for her. you hung up the phone and jumped out of the car.

as soon as you reached her, she practically fell into your arms, and you hugged her to your chest. you grabbed the two duffels beside her, and walked the two of you to the car. as soon as she was in the car, you placed Alpine on her lap, you were headed back to Bucky's place.

"look, i know you don't like me, but i am here for you." you explained, as you turned onto the freeway.

"i used to not like you." Willow said quietly, stroking Alpines fur. "when i first met you, i didn't. i don't know why."

you chuckled. "it's because you are your fathers daughter. you're fiercely loyal, and over protective to those you love."

Willow nodded. "i didn't want to lose him." she whispered, more tears pouring down her soft cheeks.

"you won't. trust me." you said, turning to look at her briefly. "i would never take him away from you. you are his first priority, and i understand that. i am okay with that. i only want the best for you."

"i'm sorry i've been so bratty." she apologized, and you shook your head.

"you haven't been a brat. not in the slightest."

now it was her turn to shake her head. "no, i have been. i always am, according to mom." she said as you pulled in the parking lot. you parked the car and turned to look at Willow.

"your mother says you're a brat?" you asked in disbelief.

"yeah." she admitted. "she says she glad that she only has to see me once in a while. apparently she can't take me for more than a few days at a time."

"Willow," you said sadly, as the little girl broke down into tears again. you wrapped your arms around her again, and let her cry into your shirt. "let's go inside and get you warm."

she nodded, and pulled away. you grabbed the bags, and the three of you headed inside the apartment building. she placed Alpine on the ground before walking into Bucky's room, and pulling his red henley out of the closet. she walked into the bathroom, and got ready for bed. she came out a few moments later, and gave you a shy smile, drowning in her daddy's red shirt.

"Willow, come here." you said, patting the spot next to you. she crawled in next to you, and you wrapped your arms around her again. "you know what your mother said about you isn't true, right? you're not a bitch, and you're not a brat. you're a sweet little girl who loves her daddy a whole lot. none of that makes you a brat." you whispered, and she nodded, curling up closer to you.

"you're good for Daddy." she whispered, and her hand fisted in your shirt, as she fought back tears. "Daddy loves you a lot."

you chuckled quietly. "i know. he tells me all the time. he loves you more, you know that right?"

she nodded, and you smiled before continuing. "he once told me about his first night alone with you as a single father." you said. "you were barely 4, and yet somehow, you knew not to ask for your mom. you just cuddled up in his lap, and asked to watch The Hobbit with him, and you watched the entire thing. a 3 hour movie is a lot for a 4 year old, but you did it anyways. then, you refused to sleep in your own bed, choosing rather to sleep on top of your daddy. that was the first night ever that he didn't have a nightmare, all because you were in his arms."

Willow sniffled, and you pressed a kiss to her head. "your mom isn't a nice person. i know it hurts to hear that, but she only cares about herself, and that's not what a mother does. a mother cares about her child, and loves them no matter what. i would NEVER think to call you a brat, because you aren't. you are a human, a human with feelings."

Willow tightened her grip. "i wish you were my mommy." she said, and you smiled.

"i can be." you offered. "but that is ultimately up to you, not me."

"i want you to be." she said, and you sniffled, blinking to clear the tears.

"okay, baby. i'll be your mama." you said, and gently rocked Willow back and forth until she drifted off to sleep, safe in your arms. she may not look like you. she may not have grown inside of you. but family wasn't always blood. Bucky has surely proven that with his relationship with Sam and his family. she was your daughter now, no matter what anyone said.

Willow woke up a few hours later to Bucky lifting her up.

"no daddy! let me stay with you and mama, please." Willow said, trying to crawl away from Bucky, still half asleep. Bucky stopped, and stared at her.

"Willow, did you just call her mama?" he asked in disbelief, and she nodded, a grumpy look on her face.

"yes, old man, i did. she's the best mama ever. much better than my real mother. and it was my decision, not hers. i want her to be my mama. she said she'd love to be my mama." she grumbled, clearly wanting to sleep again. Bucky sniffled, tears building in his eyes.

"i love you so much, flower." Bucky whispered, pulling her against his chest.

"i love you too, daddy. now get your bum bum in the bed. i'm tired and if we keep talking you're going to wake mama up." she said, and curled herself up against your back, falling asleep almost instantly. Bucky climbed in right beside her, sandwiching Willow in between the two of you. he reached his metal arm over the two of them, and leaned over to press a kiss to your temple.

"thank you, baby girl. you're going to be the best mama ever."

hey i'm still alive

👀

uh so. how's it going. thought i'd give a little life update in case anyone was curious or interested >> tho probs not ;lajdfk;l

yeah i know i've been mia for like. a long time now, and tbh there's no particular reason why. i know i've lost some followers because i've been so inactive and haven't written anything in a long ass time. i do apologize for that. a lot has happened in the last few months and i guess i just wanted to give my friends and follows a brief little overview of what's been going on in my life and to prove that i am indeed still alive lol.

so most of you all know by now that i finally landed a good paying remote job yeah? and at first it was amazing. now? not so much. the schedule sucks ass, the management is balls, and the actual work sucks even more. i'm not happy there anymore so i'm currently looking for a new job. and im so desperate to get out of there i'm looking outside of remote jobs as well.

right now i'm waiting to hear back from an office technician job right here in my town that pays $27 an hour. TWENTY. SEVEN. guys that's $8 more than what i'm making right now ($19 an hour.) oh my GOD if i made that money i'd be able to finally move out of this god awful house with a flea problem that i CANNOT get rid of (my poor babies :( i've legit tried everything, even fucking professionally treated this house with orkin to get rid of them, had both of them get flea baths by a groomer and STILL i cannot get rid of the damn fleas. it's so fucking stressful y'all you cant even begin to imagine), finally get new tires for my truck, and live comfortably with extra spending money without having to worry about paying rent or buying groceries for the month. i'm PRAYING i get this job. even if it's not remote that pay would make it SO worth it.

anyway. moving on.

i've also gotten into a relationship with someone i was desperately in love with, then got my heart broken because he ended things. it hurt a lot. i got over it though, with the help of some pretty amazing friends, and one of my best friends. and right now, i'm currently dating that best friend lmao. so i'm in another relationship, and i'm very happy with him. our relationship began at the end of june, i believe. (i'll never forget the day he asked me to be his. y'all my hearT MELTED 😍😍)

it's a long distance relationship as tom lives in canada, but he did recently come to see me as evidenced by the photo above. i love this man y'all. he's amazing. there is one thing i'm kinda worried about with our relationship, but i won't get into that because thinking about it upsets me. but anyway he makes my very happy. ❤️

so that's pretty much what's been happening. i just haven't really been inspired/motivated to write at all lately, and i do apologize for that. it's just been a very overwhelming few months, with dealing with this damn house, ending a relationship and starting a new one, stress from a job that i'm really beginning to hate, trying to find a new one, and just a few other small things that aren't worth mentioning.

i do hope you all know that this doesn't mean i've abandoned writing or abandoned any of my stories. it's just been difficult to write anything lately but that doesn't mean i don't want to. i still love inuyasha. it's still my favorite anime. i still read fanfic (on occasion, when i have the time as i'm pretty much in a 24/7 discord call with tom except right now because he's at a dentist appt which is why im taking the time to write this -3-) and i still do think about my stories. hell, sometimes i even get an idea for a good oneshot and think to myself "shit i need to write that down" but then i forget about it and hate myself for the next 24 hours -_-

so yeah. that's what's been going on. i'm still around. i still get on here and reblog a few posts, mostly the ones i'm tagged in or some nice fanart. i do miss y'all and i hope my absence hasn't upset anyone or made them think i'm done with the inuyasha fandom. i'm most definitely not. it's just...sort of taking a backseat for now until i sort some things out in my life. definitely not preferable, but it is what it is, y'know.

my dear readers, followers, and friends, i love you all so much and i'm glad you've stuck around this long even though i haven't been around. you're the reason why i'm still here, why i want to someday get back to writing and giving you more content to enjoy and gush over. thank you for your patience with me and still giving love to my stories after all this time. i still get the occasional review for one of my stories, and trust me, i read every single one of them and they make my entire day. it's so nice knowing people are still reading my work and enjoying it. maybe it's selfish, but i hope you never stop, because reading those reviews gives me a huge boost when i'm feeling down on a particular day and it makes me feel like i haven't been forgotten, though by every right i should have been.

okay i've rambled long enough. in short, i just want to say thank you. you're all rockstars. i love you all. ❤️

until next time, my lovelies.
