I'M CURRENTLY WRITING CHAPTER 4

of Therapy but It's Just Zooble Interrogating Caine. It's the tutorial chapter, but I do have to do set up for Chapter 5. And personally I am a little on the fence. On one hand, I'd like to give Pomni a little treat for sitting through the last chapter. On the other, I want to focus less on her and more on other characters. So why not let the fans get a say!

Keep in mind that if I get a good enough idea I will override this decision. But, if someone can write a convincing enough argument one way or another, I will write for it. I have not seen enough fanfictions where Gummigoo is also treated as an actual AI, and I do aim to change that. He may talk better than Caine, but I imagine that he's just as weird on the inside. Do with that what you will.

Slithering Hearts

Chapter 4

Pairing : Regulus Black x Fem! Reader

Synopsis : You begin an unlikely friendship with the little Black. And soon your whole life seems to have become a tumultuous pathway. The catch, James Potter is your brother.

Notes : Just some rock cakes ;)

Masterlist / Series Masterlist

James Potter, Marauder, almost selected Chaser of the Griffindor Quidditch team, stormed through the corridor, searching for you and thanking Merlin that his glasses hadn't cracked from the loud noise of the Howler. He spotted you in the courtyard, sitting with another Slytherin girl.

His eyes locked into yours, you did your best to hide your smirk as he came near,

"What the hell did you say to Mum?"

"James Potter talking to a slimy snake, what a wonder" You mocked then smirked, "And I only told her the truth, be glad I didn't tell dad" you crossed your arms.

James groaned, the irrational part of him still hated the green that adorned your robe, but it was closed from the yelling he had received. He sighed, probably accepting defeat, "Nothing can happen of you, can it, Zouwu"

You mock gasped, "How dare you say that, I perfectly did my wand lighting charm and my potion didn't even explode", your smirk had turned into a bright smile as you told excitedly about your lessons.

James watched you with a little smile on his face, in the end you were still the same, an annoying little shit. He still scoffed, "You are still earning house points for the slimy snake house"

"Not my fault you are losing yours playing silly pranks" You remarked chuckling at James's offended gasp.

---

The days went by smoothly, considering you did your best to avoid any kind of noticeable trouble. You did occasionally sneaked off to hang out with Hagrid, whom you met when a niffler attacked you, and he was called to take it away.

You liked talkimg to him but didn't have to heart to tell something about his rock cakes, not even when your spoon bended trying to crack it. Hagrid had chuckled at your horrified expresion.

Still, one dreary afternoon you stood on his gate, "Hello Hagrid, I was wondering if you'd let me bake a cake"

Hagrid chuckled, "Good thing, I was thinking of preparing some rock cakes today"

You blinked owlishly, before clearing your throat, "Hagrid, I was wondering if I could make it myself, it's my friend's birthday, you see"

Hagrid moved from the door, "Why don't you come in then, but I'm not sure if I have all the supplies, you need"

You nodded grinning, "I'm sure we'll be able to come up with something"

Dwindling between the actual lack of supplies and the persistent hugs of the niffler which once attacked you, you had managed up to conjure a real rock cake, which didn't actually feel like a rock. You left a spare cake for Hagrid and thanked him heartfully, for letting you cook. Bending down, you patted the niffler which again tried to lunge for your chain, "Bye Niffles"

And so you went to your next stop,

"Wait a minute baby potter, I'll call James"

Sirius said when he saw you coming.

"Actually Sirius, I needed to talk to you, it is Regulus's birthday" Sirius eyed you suspiciously, knowing the implication. "So?"

"Will you come to the Common room today at midnight" you looked at him with your best puppy eyes that you could conjure up.

"Me in Slytherin Common Room, Merlin's beard, I will not be caught dead there"

"Please Sirius, you mean a lot to him, you can come with the invisiblity cloak, he won't be happy without you" You almost begged, glancing up at him.

Sirius didn't say anything definitive just a "I'll think about it", you still told him the password to the common room.

It was certainly an accident about how you found about about this trivial matter, Regulus's birthday, while you knew everyone's else, you strangely didn't know his.

You were in library, Regulus had dropped his notebooks on a nearby table and gone to pick up a book. Among others, he carried a black leather notebook with him and behind it in small letters were his initial and birth date, which you so just happened to glance upon on as you looked closely, and knowing his tendency of seclusion, you made a plan.

So some time before midnight while most of the common room was empty, you sat there with your Potions homework, completing it now since you were busy the whole day. You looked at the raven haired boy who among others was about to leave for his dorm, "Reg, I don't get this part, can you please explain it?"

Regulus looked at you curiously, you excelled at your studies and more like never needed help, but he instantly agreed, "Sure" Regulus moved to sit beside you glancing at the homework, "Which exact part are you talking about, the cauldron mixing or the herb collection?"

"Herb collection" you nodded, taking notes while he explained the procedures and precaution. Between his ramblings, you glanced at the clock, few minutes to midnight, you were worried the rock cake beneath your cloak won't actually become rock.

"Are you here?" Regulus asked noticing your distracted look.

"Huh" You broke out of your trance, at his perturbed gaze, "Of course, you were telling that porcupine quills should never be added while the cauldron is boiling". Regulus nodded, but as he began to continue, the door or wall to the common room slid open, with no one in sight. You hid your grin, while Regulus stood up, his wand pointing out. Only a minute now.

Regulus heard footsteps in the barren comon room, he glanced back at you, to see you shuffling among your stuff, "Can you hear the footsteps too?"

"For Merlin's sake, couldn't you have walked slowly" You grinned, Regulus turned and his heart almost came out , only the head of Sirius floated in the air.

"Happy Birthday" you both silently cheered, shoving the cake in his face, Regulus stood still, Sirius shook him, "Hey, Reggie, are you broken?"

"No,I, um, I, thank you," he whispered, nodding, not trusting his voice, the cake was cut, Sirius took a big piece to take back, while you took a big bite. It could have been better.

You turned to Sirius, whispering, "Thankyou for coming"

"No probs", he clapped Regulus's back, "I'll be leaving, all the green is making me sick, thanks for the cake". Maybe Sirius wasn't fully in, but it was something.

Sirius left as he came, Regulus turned to you, "How did you know?"

With a mouthful of cake, you grinned, "Magic".

He looked as if he couldn't comprehend something, "But why?"

You stopped picking up your supplies, tilting your head you smiled a genuine one "Because you are my friend silly"

[justsomerandomfanfic]

Hi there! How are you?

I saw your matchup requests are open so I'd like to request a romantic mashup for DC and Marvel, please ♡

I'm a 27 years old non-binary person, I'm pan : gender doesn't matter to me in a relationship. I am very curvy/fat, around 5'6, I have short dark brown hair and amber-ish/brown eyes. I wear golden wire glasses. I dress mostly in black, greens, browns, whites and some yellow here and there. Kinda dark/light academia I guess? I do love my fluffy pink purse tho. I like accessories and putting on very over the top makeup.

My favorite hobbies are tending to my plants, walking and playing with my lovely dog, cooking food from other cultures, reading (I do have several bookshelves), I do lots of arts and crafts like sewing or paper flowers. I also refurbished an old armchair a little while ago and repair stuff around my rented apartment. I like sewing and repairing clothes. Love hiking too.

I'm a very curious person I suppose, I like learning new stuff, I speak French and English and I am learning Portuguese and Arabic. I'm outspoken and talkative but I can recognize easy enough when I'm in the wrong. I'm passionate about social justice and finding alternatives and building communities. I think I'm resilient, I went through a lot already and I still try to go forward but I am also an anxious person. I have been reading a lot about disability justice those past years since I am myself disabled. I'm going back to study to become a librarian.

My favorite movies are Dead Poets Society and Vincent, my current favorite show are Ghosts (US) and Maid. I love everything Pre-raphaelites, Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Art Nouveau. I did travel quite a lot, especially solo with a backpack. I listen to a lot of things : hyperpop, metal, rap, soft pop, jazz. If I like something I tend to listen to it ad nauseam haha. I think I am in love with the song Your Blood by AURORA.

Thank you so much for your patience reading me.

Take care and all the best! - 🦊🍄

Hello! I am good! Thank you for asking! :)

I hope you like your matchups!

<333333

(I also like the US Ghosts!)

I had a lot of fun with this one! #Inspired!

Enjoy!

Romantic Matchups; DC and Marvel

Romantic;

~~~

DC;

Clark Kent -

You met Clark at the local library when he noticed you struggling to balance an armful of books.

He quickly stepped in, his soft smile instantly putting you at ease.

He was intrigued by your selection - classic literature, art history, and books on social justice - and shyly mentioned how much he admires people who read deeply and critically.

Your shared love of books and learning led to a long conversation, and you ended up recommending some books to each other.

He loved how excited you got talking about your favorites.

At the beginning of the friendship, the both of you would meet at the library, bookstore, or local park to hang out and talk.

Your curiosity and love for learning fascinated him, and he’d bring you small gifts - like a first edition of a favorite book or flowers that reminded him of you.

You’d introduce him to your dog during one of your joined hikes.

Clark was immediately smitten, and your dog adored him just as quickly.

He’d quietly repair things in your apartment whenever you mentioned something broken - your heater works mysteriously well now.

You still don't know how that got fixed...

Clark realized he had feelings for you when you both went hiking and you stopped to admire the sunset.

Your joy was so genuine that he couldn’t stop looking at you. The way the sunlight reflected off your hair, or how the sun shone in your eyes...

Breathtaking.

You noticed your feelings for Clark after he brought you handmade cookies just to cheer you up after a stressful day. His thoughtfulness melted your heart.

Clark loves listening to you talk about your passions.

Whether it’s discussing disability justice, Pre-Raphaelite art, or a new recipe you’re trying, he’s always fully engaged.

You’d sew little patches on his clothes or knit him scarves, which he treasures. He often says, “I think this scarf saved me today."

Clark would take you flying with him to show you the world from above; yeah, you know that he is Superman.

He constantly reassures you during moments of anxiety, offering calming words and holding your hand gently.

You’d teach Clark how to refurbish furniture, and he’d be surprisingly good at it.

Clark loves helping you cook. Even if he’s a bit clumsy at chopping, he’s a great taste tester.

You’d introduce him to your favorite music. Seeing Clark listen to hyperpop while doing chores is an amusing yet heartwarming sight.

He’d write you little notes in his neat handwriting, hiding them in your books for you to find later.

Clark would use his reporter connections to help you organize community-building events, and he’d attend them to show his support.

You’d repair his beloved plaid shirts and tease him about how many he owns. “Clark, you have enough plaid shirts to fill the Fortress of Solitude!”

Ruffling his hair; lots of ruffling of his hair.

Clark loves it when you fall asleep with your head on his chest. He’ll lay as still as a statue, not wanting to wake you, even if it means his arm goes numb.

As long as you are comfortable, he'd do anything.

He has a habit of adjusting your glasses for you when they slip down your nose. He always does it with a soft smile that makes your heart flutter.

(You do it back to him - adjusting his glasses - as revenge).

He keeps a framed photo of the two of you (one you didn’t even realize he took) on his desk at work.

Clark gets weirdly competitive over board games. You once had to remind him to tone it down during a heated round of Scrabble.

He is oddly really into Just Dance.

Clark will always stop to admire flowers on your walks with you. He sometimes surprises you by tucking a bloom behind your ear, telling you it’s your “perfect color.”

If you’re out in the cold, Clark will drape his jacket over your shoulders, insisting he doesn’t feel the cold anyway.

Sometimes, Clark hums softly while holding you close - it’s usually an old Kansas tune his mom used to sing, and it makes you feel so safe and loved.

He loves holding your hand, always intertwining his fingers with yours, whether you’re walking, sitting, or just standing together.

Clark is obsessed with the little accessories you wear. He’ll often play with them absentmindedly when you’re together.

He'd be talking to you one moment and his hand would just subconsciously raise to play with the necklace you have on; he doesn't even realize that he is doing it until you tell him, or if there is a long break in the conversation.

Will be the bestest boyfriend.

Will let you try and experiment with makeup on him.

Clark is fascinated by your arts and crafts projects. He always asks a ton of questions and loves learning about the details, even if he has no clue how you do it.

Clark loves listening to your voice, especially when you’re speaking in French or practicing another language.

If you’re feeling down, Clark will throw a blanket over the two of you and start an impromptu movie marathon of your favorite films.

He’ll randomly whisper “I love you” when you least expect it - whether you’re brushing your teeth, washing dishes, or just staring out the window.

~~~

Marvel;

Yelena Belova -

You met Yelena during a community event - you were volunteering, and she was undercover on a mission.

She stayed longer than necessary because she actually was able to complete her mission within the first hour.

She normally wasn't one for big events, but then she saw you.

Your outfit really caught her attention, especially your makeup. She was pretty impressed.

She introduced herself to you, and you had to compliment her style, and the pantsuit that she was wearing to the event.

The topic went from the event to each other, to plants, and then to books.

Yelena appreciates your talkative nature and finds your endless curiosity refreshing. She jokes that you’re her “walking encyclopedia.”

She introduces you to her dog, Fanny, and the two of you bond over your shared love for animals.

You then introduced her to your dog.

And then you both introduced your dogs to each other.

Yelena’s feelings for you grew when she saw how much effort you put into creating a handmade quilt for her.

The quilt is black, white, and blue; with embroidered flowers and butterflies.

It lays on her bed.

She uses it every night.

She treasures it more than anything.

You realized you had feelings for Yelena when she defended your activism work to someone who was being dismissive. Her fierce loyalty made your heart skip a beat.

Yelena loves surprising you with small but meaningful gifts, like a vintage book she found or a quirky accessory that reminded her of you.

She adores your over-the-top makeup and often asks you to try out bold looks on her. “Make me look dangerous and fabulous.”

You’d go on spontaneous road trips together, blasting music and stopping to take pictures of anything that caught your eye.

Lots of spontaneous adventures.

Road trips to the beach, or on a road through a forest, or even just driving to a store or something.

She’s surprisingly tender and vulnerable when it’s just the two of you.

She’ll hold your hand tightly during movies or pull you into her lap when you’re anxious.

But, if you're not into that, she'd just hold your hand or even just sit beside you, with her head on your shoulder.

She'll do anything to make sure you are comfortable, so she is okay with anything. Lots of physical contact, some, or none, she's down for anything.

You’d teach her how to sew, though she’s hilariously impatient about it. “Why does this tiny needle take so long? I could assassinate someone faster.”

Yelena would love hiking with you, pretending to complain about the uphill climbs but secretly enjoying the challenge, the peace, and your company.

She’d watch your favorite shows with you and mock the characters mercilessly, but she’d secretly get invested.

"I don't know why they don't just bonk Sam on the head again. Then maybe she wouldn't see the ghosts anymore if that's so much of a problem."

"I mean, seriously, why don't they build a place for the British soldiers to live? So they don't have to be forced to live in a shed."

A week or so later...

"Are we going to watch the next episode of that show you like?" She'd enter the room as you scroll on your phone.

"You like Ghosts?" You raised an eyebrow.

"No- I just know that you do... So..."

You only shook your head knowingly before putting on the next episode.

"So... Who's your favorite?" You randomly asked during the show.

"... Alberta."

She’d show up unannounced with pastries from your favorite bakery, claiming, “You looked sad last night. I fix that.”

Yelena would go out of her way to protect you, even if there wasn’t a direct threat. Her protectiveness is quiet but unwavering.

You’d cook Russian dishes for her, and even if they weren’t perfect, she’d love the effort.

Yelena loves teasing you, but it’s always affectionate. If she catches you talking to your dog in a baby voice, she’ll mimic you, but secretly she thinks it’s adorable.

I mean, she totally talks to her dog Fanny in a baby voice too.

She’s surprisingly great at remembering the little things you mention in passing, like your favorite snacks or the exact kind of tea you like, and she’ll casually surprise you with them.

Yelena doesn’t know how to deal with big emotions, so she’ll jokingly nudge your shoulder and say, “I tolerate you” when what she really means is, “You’re my entire world.”

She really does love you.

It's just hard for her to say after, you know, after everything she'd been through.

She constantly tries to steal your fluffy pink purse, claiming it’s "too powerful" for you and that she needs it more.

You end up buying her her own purse that's fluffy.

Yelena is obsessed with your arts and crafts.

She’ll sit beside you and make sarcastic comments but secretly try to join in. Her paper flowers look hilariously bad, and you keep them all because they’re precious.

You often walk into the main living room and find Yelena cuddling both her dog and yours.

She loves borrowing your clothes.

Yelena is all about casual, understated affection, like brushing your hair out of your face or tugging your scarf tighter around your neck when it’s cold.

Yelena will randomly plop down on your refurbished furniture and declare it as her new “throne."

"Wanna watch Dead Poets Society?"

She’ll lie beside you on the couch, absentmindedly playing with your fingers while you talk about your day.

Yelena secretly loves your book collection and will sometimes ask you to read it aloud to her, especially when she’s feeling tired or anxious.

When she's feeling more carefree, you and her would just dance around together either to metal or jazz, depending on how you are both feeling.

Yelena is a surprisingly good singer too, by the way. She'd actually take the time to learn the more acoustic version of 'Your Blood' by AURORA for you.

Museum dates!

Lots of them!

Traveling to different countries just to go to the museums.

Yelena likes to sometimes watch you take care of your plants but absolutely loves it when you explain the plants to her and the little facts about them.

She'd name your plants if you haven't named them already...

You guys are my OTP.

[justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms]

Hi there! Thanks again for reaching me out ^^ I'd like to request a matchup for JJK, MHA and Haikyuu please!

Name: you can use Yuno if needed :)

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: I'd like to be paired with male characters

Zodiac: Sagittarius

Appearance: east Asian, slim build, black short hair (two blocks haircut), I wear cargo pants with t-shirts (either black, grey or white) and sneakers. I prefer practical clothes. The simpler the better.

Personality: funny, curious, love to eat and travel, make new interesting friends, discover new activities and new places. I'm also analytical, I understand things people don't say or explain. Loved-ones say I can be blunt, opinionated, creative and love to persuade others. Independent, hard to know and anticipate. I really like to tease people, and even those I do not know well yet.

Likes: spring, summer, dots and cats, eating, traveling, try new activites/dishes, chill out on the sofa, sometimes play video games (Zelda BOTW and TOTK, Okami, Smash Bros, Life is Strange...), watching movies at the cinema, joking around and teasing people, laughing without any restraint, a nice walk in the countryside.

Dislikes: noisy people for no reason, brainless people, people walking too slow, rain, autumn.

Hobbies: writing with people, walking around, eating, going out, cooking, gardening.

extras: I'm a spring/summer person even if I have a hard time standing the heat, I prefer cats but I have a doggo energy somehow. I enjoy writing with others people (never alone because I get bored), discussing about philosophy, joking around and challenge authority.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Juno! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took a while. I hope you like your matchups!

In Jujutsu Kaisen, I match you with...

You and Megumi are both quite blunt and while you might think that would lead to conflict, it actually leads to a very open and clear relationship.

He’s so glad you like dogs. Sure, his divine dogs are there to help him with his curse expelling work but he does have a soft spot for them. He’ll call them out so they can say hello to you from time to time.

I don’t see him as a fan of noisy people either (despite spending so much time around people like Nobara and Itadori). He’s happy to just spend time with you.

Megumi enjoys discussing philosophy with you a lot more than he thought he would. I see him as someone who likes deep conversation but only with a few select people. You fall into that category for him.

I think Megumi would enjoy gardening with you. It’s something relaxing and he can turn his mind off while doing it. Plus he gets to enjoy your presence while you both concentrate on the job at hand.

In My Hero Academia, I match you with...

You and Shoto are a good match since you’re both very different and very similar. You balance each other out in the best ways.

Loves taking walks with you. It really clears his mind and he gets to spend time with you one on one so it’s a win-win.

I think Shoto would also enjoy trying new foods with you. Sure, he knows what he likes but he’s also open to trying new things, especially if you’re trying them with him.

Writing pals! I see Shoto as someone who likes writing down his thoughts and being a bit poetic from time to time. If he gets to write with you and then swap work, he’d have a blast.

Please help him make new friends as well. He’s only got a handful of them and he’d love to make more. He’s just not sure how to go about it without some help.

In Haikyuu, I match you with...

You and Daichi would be rest buddies. He tends to over work himself sometimes so it’s good having you there to make him take regular breaks when he needs them.

I think Daichi would enjoy trying new things with you. He’s got volleyball but he’s always looking to try out new hobbies and broaden his horizons.

He likes that you’re opinionated. Being the captain of a volleyball team means you have to be decisive and have strong opinions. Being with someone who’s the same is good for him.

No need to worry about slow walkers when you’re around Daichi. He’s super tall and takes long strides so he’s a very fast walker. If anything, you might need him to slow down.

I think Daichi would also enjoy travelling and exploring new places so he’d love to tag along with you whenever you go somewhere new. He’d also invite you along whenever the team goes away for a match or a competition.

Please note: If you are unhappy with your selection and would like an alternative, just message the mods on tumblr @distantstarssw.

Got it done! It's short, but here's Frog Lady's Fishcake Recipe.

The tadpole stage is intense, everyone tells you that. You wake up ten times a night just to check that their little gills are still fluttering.

But just wait, because when they start hopping—that's when the REAL trouble starts!

I'll admit right now that I'm something of a "mamacore mama". My little one was the only to hatch from my last brood cycle—and that was a story of its own, see my recipe for "Authentic Mandalorian Pog Soup"! So of course I'm protective, but like my husband always says, children only learn by experiencing the world for themselves.

I believe in letting a child take the lead when it comes to climbing out of the kiddie pool, and that's how I'm trying to raise my own.

I also think it's important to grow up with friends of different backgrounds. My husband and I spent time on a number of worlds before we came to Trask, and I just feel that experience really helped us stay open to making connections with all kinds of people. Sometimes a stranger becomes a lifelong friend after just ten minutes—like me and Peli Motto.

You never know when someone will come into your life and change it forever.

So I've been taking the little sprog to a community pool for story hour, to hear tales from different traditions and languages, and to make friends. Well, we sure got a story the other day! The pool cleaner droid malfunctioned and started up a cycle with everyone still inside. It's a good thing I worked all those years in a droidsmithy! I was able to get to the deactivation button, although I had to use my tongue, which was a little bit embarrassing in front of everybody.

Anyway, after that the sproglet asked for fish for dinner, so I picked some up on the way home for fishcakes. The way I make mine is simple: about a one pound fillet, skin and bones removed, and coarsely chopped. Also half a cup of herby greens and another quarter cup of paleshoots. Last, a quarter cup of fresh bread crumbs, and two tablespoons of mustard. You mix all those up in a bowl, add some salt and pepper, and then divide it into four equal portions and mash them into patties.

Fry the patties on a hot skillet with a little oil, over medium heat. You'll want to cook them about five minutes on a side, and try to turn them only once because they do have a tendency to fall apart if you're not careful. But they're tasty, and kid friendly—my kid likes them, anyway!

For a side dish, I sometimes like to make a veggie relish while the fish is cooking. It's best with fresh veggies (everything's best fresh!) but you can also thaw some from frozen. You'll want about two cups of something sweet/starchy, like cob-kernels, and a couple of tangy fruits, like tomatoes. And you'll need a second skillet. Heat up a little oil and chop up an onion, your tomatoes, and a quarter cup of basil. Put the onion in the skillet first and saute it for about five minutes before you add the cob-kernels. That'll only need a couple of minutes to cook. Put the tomatoes in last, and give it just another minute to all cook together. Then add the basil off heat with some salt and pepper and your relish is ready. It goes really nicely with the fish cakes!

Notes: The recipe given here was adapted from "Shogun Salmon Cakes with Corn and Tomato Salsa," in The San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market Cookbook. "Herby greens" = cilantro, "paleshoots" = scallions, "cob-kernels" = corn, and basil, onions, and tomatoes are just themselves because it got tedious translating everything into Star Wars-speak. Use salmon for the fish and olive oil for the oil.

[samspenandsword]

My dearest Sam, congratulations on your 300 followers! I know your blog is always a joy to catch up on, and I very often re-read many of your works. You deserve all the best! I raise my teacup to you and your future endeavors!

If you're not too busy, might I request a ship pairing please? I am 37, a she/her, and go by May. I love the forest moon of Endor or Alderaan if I had to pick a planet. My aesthetic is a very cluttered Light Academia style, and my appearance is tall, chin length blonde hair, blue eyes, my build is all arms and legs, athletic-ish. I'm usually listening to soundtracks. I love pasta and love making tea and toast as a snack. Baking is my current favorite hobby, but I also read, sew, dance, and run. Summer is my favorite season, but I like them all in their own way. I drink far too much tea. I can be timid, but I try to be friendly as much as possible. I'm loyal to my friends, always want to make them smile, and one of my favorite things is to make people their favorite dessert or treat just because.

Thank you again for your wonderful works!

Hi May!!! It's always so nice to see you in my notifs and inbox! Thank you so much for submitting, and I genuinely hope you like what I wrote! And I hope 2023 has been going well for you too!

Sam's Pen and Sword 300 Follower Celebration (Closed)

MAY'S FOLLOWER CELEBRATION REQUEST

Ship request 👄

When I was reading your request, I instantly thought of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two of you both drink excessive amounts of tea, you're just his type (tall, thin, blue eyes, short blond hair), and he has a huge weakness for anything you cook or bake. The two of you like to talk about the things you've read recently over a plate of his favorite treats (I imagine it to be a selection of homemade shortbreads). You also introduced him to soundtracks, and though he admits that he's not the biggest music lover in the galaxy, soundtracks are a great deal better than the shit Anakin listens to. He has become particularly fond of soundtracks with lots of calm piano movements or lush string orchestras. He would love the opportunity to see you dance one day, even if it's just something you do for fun and exercize - he will never get tired of seeing you do things you enjoy. And he's adopted a habit of brushing his fingers over the seams where you've mended his clothes. In that way, you're always with him.

You tried your very best not to laugh as Obi-Wan paced across the living room, but you couldn't quite manage to conceal your amused smile. A book was held in your hands, a physical book with flimsi and binding, and you followed Obi-Wan's movements with your eyes, the open book raised to your smiling mouth. "- do not understand his inability to think before he acts. He's reckless! And did I mention that this was the third fighter he's crashed this week! I cannot -" A cup of tea and plate of shortbread cookies sat untouched on your coffee table, and you had learned that it was best to just let Obi-Wan get it out. Much like the padawan he was currently ranting about, it was best to just let him get it out. He'd feel better once he did and then he'd sit and take a sip of the just-perfectly-cooled tea, tension falling from his shoulders. And indeed, less than two minutes later, Obi-Wan fell onto the couch beside you, taking a long drink of the tea you'd made. The tension melted from him, and he leaned back, eyes closing with a little hum of appreciation. "Feel better?" you asked, still amused. "I know you're laughing at me." You were. You always took pleasure from Obi-Wan's little rants about Anakin. Not only because you knew he didn't mean a word of them, but because you found it endlessly funny how Obi-Wan could be so exasperated at the way Anakin put his all into his missions and battles, in a way he had learned from Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan, of course, failed to realize this. Anyone who knew better knew that Anakin was the way he was because he had learned from Obi-Wan. The man you loved could be as reckless as his former padawan. Leaping before he looked. Cutting once before measuring twice. Acting before considering. People heard Obi-Wan's eloquent words and saw his charming smiles and assumed he thought everything through before he acted. You knew better. So did anyone who knew Obi-Wan. Commander Cody and you had had more than one wine fest where the two of you laughed and bitched over how much Obi-Wan scolded Anakin for simply mirroring his own behaviors back at him. Those two, you mentally laughed. Closer than brothers. So close they just couldn't see how similar they really were. You swore one day you and Padme were going to lock the pair in a closet together and force them to air out all the words Obi-Wan was too restrained to say and all the confessions Anakin was too scared to trust his master and brother with. You and Padme liked to joke that Anakin and Obi-Wan confiding in each other would inevitably be what saved the galaxy from the war. Ah, if only. Obi-Wan, still perceiving your amusement, cracked an eye open and looked at you. You reached over and fondly brushed a lock of copper hair out of his face. "Something funny, my dear?" You knew he knew you were still laughing at him. But you simply smiled at him. "Happy to have you home, Obi-Wan." Obi-Wan smiled too. He leaned over and kissed you soundly. Tenderly. And with that, you knew he was glad to be home, too.

I'm depressed and I can't see a way out.

Anon —

I don't know if you sent this just to send it to someone and/or if you would like my support or advice, but I'm going to choose to do that regardless.

I'm really sorry you're feeling depressed at the moment, but I need to understand and know this: there is a way out; and sometimes you have to create that way out yourself, but there is a way out.

I don't know if you have friends and/or loved ones to reach out to, but please try to do so, please. You don't have to go through this alone. A simple reaching out to them that you're feeling depressed and need support could really go a long way.

However, if you do decide to go the lonely route, then please try not to hurt yourself on that journey. Give yourself a reason each day to give life and yourself a chance.

Try to find one thing to be proud of or thankful for each day. It could be from doing laundry, cooking yourself a good meal, going for a walk, rewatching your comfort shows/movies, showering, or even getting out of bed in general. I don't care. I mean I care, but I meant it in a "it could be anything, as long as it's positive". I promise you that it will help you so much.

There's this saying that I read and I might have to paraphrase it because I couldn't find it to share it with you, but it goes along with "a negative mindset will never lead to a positive life". Something like that? Now to me, it means that you can't keep dwelling on your sadness, depression, regrets, and past. You gotta breathe all that in and exhale hope, forgiveness, curiosity, determination, kindness, courage, love, and gratitude. Move forward.

Good or bad, life is life. You have to try each day to do your best in showing up for yourself.

I really hope you have people in your life whom you can reach out to. There's nothing shameful about asking for help. And if you are reading this saying "well I've always done things on my own" etc, cut the fucking bullshit. We all need love and support. I need it as well. So grow up and be vulnerable to those selected few you have allowed into your life. It's okay to be intimate and open about your struggles and needs.

It's okay to get rejected from getting help as well, it will help you understand your place in other people's lives. However, I'm confident that your friends and loved ones won't do that to you. Please also consider therapy, okay?

This is coming from someone who chose to do things without considerations of others and I will forever be remorseful of that because I know I hurt others in that process and— I'm extremely sorry about that. But I have to forgive myself for that and learn from it. I will be a better person, brother, son, and friend because of it.

Sigh. Everyone is sad here, huh? Hahaha.

Boy, I do not know how to stop talking.

Okay, um, Anon - I'm rooting for you. Life is... something. But it's still worth living for 😊😊 I hope you know that you matter. Go be amazing 😊😊😊

Hello everyone 🌻 I hope you're doing well today/tonight!

I'm looking for long-term friendships with like-minded people, in other words, I'm looking for my soul tribe 🌼 I'll tell you some things about myself so you can get to know me a little bit as well as my deal breakers within friendships.

It's nice to meet you! 😊 You can call me Lilith, I use she/they pronouns. I'm currently questioning my gender but I am asexual and panromantic! As for my personality, I'd say I'm quite kind, open-minded and mature but- one is much more complex and beautifully unique than just a few words.. ✨

Some of my interests are reading, writing/journaling, cooking, baking, hanging out with my pets, creating art, playing video games, making quality friendships, meditating, researching topics that interest me, practicing my spirituality 🔮✨ (I'm a witch, alchemist and an occultist 😌 if you practice anything close to those things, I'd also love to become friends 😊) and enjoying nature! Fun fact: I'm also thinking about becoming vegetarian! And I'm slowly working my way there 😊

Extra information: I'm a proud feminist, supporting women's, minority, and LGBTQ+ rights, anti-ableist, anti-terf, a far left-wing individual and I'm pro choice 😊 (if you also strongly support ALL of these as well, we're already very like-minded and I'd love to become friends 😊)

I'm looking for people who are honest and who are selective about what they consume (media, energy and food) because the person truly cares about that. As well as people who are emotionally mature, intelligent and responsible. And please never message me if you're bored or just want to chat for a short time.

‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

tw mentioning words related to h@te and dr*gs

But- now for the deal breakers/dni (do not interact).. drinking, smoking, dr*gs, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, pro-terf, anti-@bortion, ableism, ageism, ect.

(Also, if you're recovering from substance misuse, you're also welcome to be my friend! As long as you're truly trying your best, that's what counts!)

Also, I don't voice or video chat, so texting is the best option 😊👍 if you're not okay with that, please don't message me

Important note: don't message me if you're looking for a relationship or anything romantic or sexual. I'm looking for wholesome friendships 😇

‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

I personally do not mind anyone's age, but, if you have a preference of the ages of people you're friends with, please state that in our first conversation so there's no miscommunications! Thank you ^-^

I believe I have said everything I wanted to 😌 Thank you for taking the time to read all of this 😊 Feel free to message me, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! And I hope you have a good rest of your day/night 🌻

[absolute-flaming-trash]

hey hey ♡ congrats on accomplishing such a millestone ! you really deserve each follower you get! and as a fellow dc writer, i look forward to reading your work ! actually, ive been following you for quite a while and i really like your content ! which is why i was so excited when i saw your match up event ! i usually do match up events as well, however i don't think ive taken part in one so this new for me and i wanted to try it.

my personality type is enfp/infp, im a girl in my 20s and use she/ her pronouns ♡ the gender of the character does not matter at all (so select whoever). three things i really like are: art (drawing), flowers and food (i also like mystery movies and kindness). there is just something so attractive about a gentle person you know. i really like going out to museums and parks, but i enjoy being at home all the same especially if I'm home cooking or baking ! people say im too kind and that it will be my downfall, but what do they know lol. im not really afraid of anything but i do get nervous when it comes to driving vehicles and i don't like loud noises or people who yell alot or are controlling or mean. actually people who yell do scare me ... haha. as for the fandom, im fine with either hxh or jjk , you can decide based on whichever character you believe suits it more.

also, i hope you don't mind... but when youre done with my request .. i would also like to do a ship but for you ! to thank you for all your hard work (because shipping people can be tedious)..

stay safe ♡ thanks for everything ! love ya !

cupid anon (if that name isn't taken - can i be your cupid anon?)

Ayo I will never be used to this level of generosity and compliments from anons, you best watch your step before I give you a forehead kith 🥺🥺🥺

Fun fact, I had never done a matchup event because I genuinely didn't think I'd be any good at them.

You can absolutely do a ship for me!! I'm curious to see what you'd have in mind for me, but please only do so if you have the time and energy 💛 Feel free to throw it in the ask box, or even tag me if you feel like revealing yourself (but if not, no worries at all 💛)

What attracted them to you:

There’s this fragility to you that is incredibly captivating. To him you symbolize the good that’s left in this world, and so how could he not be drawn to someone like you after being surrounded by misery and suffering for so long? The hobbies you have may seem boring to others, but they’re beautiful in their simplicity, and just add onto the charm you’re completely unware that you have.

How they got to you:

He more than likely got to you while he was still a salary man. Going to the same bakery every day and getting the same thing for lunch, and running into you selling your wares. Or maybe you worked in the same building as him and had the habit of bringing in your home-made goodies to share in the office.

Either way, most of the time he wouldn’t say much aside from the normal small talk, but after tasting your food the man would secretly be spiraling, and he would gradually build up a relationship with you then by playing on your susceptibility to those who are gentle with you.

You have all the qualities he could ever want in a partner, and you’d fulfil that role whether you wanted to or not. In a world that’s so cursed and full of anguish, it’s the least you could do.

[itshesdimples]

-Hello to anyone reading. This is my first time writing something and putting it out for the world to see. That being said, I would love any constructive criticism you have to give me. Thank you for any support you may give me, I cant thank you enough xoxo ~H - 

I remember the day as if it were yesterday; the day you crossed the unimaginable line. 

I thought we had everything, I thought I was your everything. 

2 MONTHS AGO

"Hey sunshine, just calling to let you know I wont be able to make it home this time. I'm sorry, the label has me doing something that I'm not sure is a good idea but they say it will help me in the long run." He sighs at the end, I imagine him palming his forehead.

"Look, I need you to listen to me when I tell you that you are everything to me, you make me want to become the best version of myself. During the months we have been together I have seen the best and worst side of you and I'm not running, promise. I want you to be mine forever, do you hear me? Just remember that." Harry expelled.

You were a little worried, seeing as you two had been together for a little over nine months and it was extremely rewarding. The time apart has always been different to the other relationships she had been in the past but with Harry it seemed like more than she had ever received from the previous men. 

As a surgical intern you work countless hours and never really get more than a few hours to yourself, so when you met Harry you really never saw it going anywhere. You were just too happy for your own good, openly expressing your life to perfect strangers and expecting them all to be accepting of who you are.

* 9 MONTHS AGO* 

The hospital you worked at allotted 80 hours a work week and as hopeful as you may be feeling, there is a little voice in the back of your head telling you not to go bar hopping. "Just one drink and then water." you emphasize to your good friend Mike, the bartender. 

"Vodka soda coming right up, Dr. Demanding." He chuckles. You turn around in the chair and stare at all the fellow drunks, looking for your intern comrades who should be here by now. 

Although you dont find your friends, you spot a very handsome, familiar face coming toward you. Admiring the face across from you, you decide to take the first step following by the downing of your vodka soda. " You dont seem to be familiar with the very famous bar here in town so you must not be from around here," you tease, holding out your hand to shake. "I'm [Y/N]. Not to sound weird but have we met before?" You get a very bold feeling of deja vu but laugh it off. "I'm sorry, my friends are supposed to be here by now and I'm socially handicapped, sometimes I dont know when to stop talking." Now you're just rambling at the breathtaking man in front of you and feeling red in the cheeks. 

"Its alright love, I sometimes feel socially handicapped around exquisite women such as yourself. Actually, that sounded like you're one of hundreds but I-- what I meant to say was that, you seem a little lonely. Can I buy you a drink?" He rambles, tugging at his jacket. 

"I am only allowed one drink, I know it sounds weird but I'm on a ticking time bomb, you see this?" You pull out your pager, "any moment this thing will go off and I have to skip back to work like a dreamy little school girl but inside I am dying of starvation, need a beer and twenty hours sleep." You just keep spitting up word vomit and your face is permanently pink but you just cant stop because what if it gets quiet? Now that's when it gets awkward.

"I don't think we have ever met because I'd remember you" Harry confirms, looking you up and down your shapely body. "What do you do for a living that has you on such a tight leash?" Taking a sip of his beer, he stands up and walks next to the chair you're sitting in. 

"Surgical intern, Dr. [Y/L/N] at your service, sir." You cant help but crack a little bit of the tension you have building up in your stomach while talking to him but that doesn't stop you from staring him in the eyes and trying your best to flirt. 

The aura around him is too intoxicating, too much to handle without trying to add a little humor in the mix. "I like it when you call me sir, Dr. [Y/L/N] but how long have you been a doctor? I'd love to get to know you before you have to leave me." He articulates, trying to captivate her attention.

"I love my job but it has been a long winded road, it feels like years but I've only been a real doctor for a little over two months. It takes a lot out of me but that is why I'm glad I have two great friends who I can lean on. We keep each other afloat and they're also my roommates. I don't know where I would be without them." All of that poured out of my mouth before I had the chance to cork it but I couldn't help telling him something about myself that was at least surface level.

He just seems like an eerie case of the best illusion I've ever seen. I cant help but shake the feeling that I've known him all my life, like telling him the ins-and-outs of my life wouldn't be detrimental to my health. 

"Now tell me something about yourself. For starters maybe your name? I've never seen you here before and I'm here all the time so I'm pretty good at knowing who is an out of towner, and I don't know how much time I have left." You're trying to get to know him and that is so unlike you. Having had boyfriends in the past, you were never the one asking the questions or wanting to get to know them more than a few dates and drinks. The longest relationship you have ever had was two months and you two went to high school together. 

"Hi I'm Harry, and I don't know how much longer I get to sit next to you so please can I have your number, sunshine? I would love to take you for dinner sometime soon." Harry is going out on a whim asking for your phone number but keeps going, "From what I have gathered you are a very busy woman and I admire that, love it even. I know this sounds crazy but I feel like I know you already and I have never felt that with another person so please give me a chance, I will work around your schedule. I dont care what it--" he is stopped when your pager goes off as an emergent patient being admitted, all hands on deck you assume. 

"Sunshine, huh? I like it." You wink at him and ask Mike for a pen so you can scrawl your number on a napkin and thank Harry for a very pleasant chat. It was good to know that he felt for you, as you did him after just meeting the man, and his nickname for you was adorable. 

For the next two weekends you spent getting to know Harry on a personal note. He told you he loved writing music, performing and was already an amazing talent. Harry showed you his latest music and you wondered how you hadn't connected the dots sooner. You knew he was a very private person, as he told you on your first date. 

(FLASHBACK)

"I'd love to get to know your friends, and see what kind of person you are. I can't wait to know you but I just want you to know that I can't have a lot of people knowing what is going on in my personal life." He sighs, you two sat down at dinner and he couldn't help but spit out what he wanted to tell you when you first met. "I don't want to sound pretentious or come off as someone who cares about his appearance to others but I have to tell you that I make music for a living and have quite the lot of fans. Screaming fans to be exact, " he chortles, asking the waiter for a bottle of wine to start off, "but I can't help but love them all. They made my career but I have to remain a private person. I adore my fans but they are very protective and I don't want our relationship to struggle because of a few of them saying unkind things." He grabs your hand and looks you in the eyes, trying to make you understand the reason for privacy.

"I've never met anyone like you Harry and I meet a lot of people on the regular. You have this way about you that draws me in and I want to get to know you. If that means that I cannot post my gushing about you on social media, so be it. I really like you and would like to know who you are." You declare, hoping he understands that he as a person means more than everyone understanding her lifestyle choices. 

(END OF FLASHBACK) 

Tonight was the night you knew you wanted to understand him on an even more personal level. You knew that the way you felt for him wasn't a normal crush, wasn't even a normal type of love. You knew he had the power to hurt you if he wished to do so but that was so far in the back of your mind. He meant so much to you already that it didn't matter you two were keeping your relationship a secret from most of the world, apart from a select few. It was the best date of them all, Harry cooked you and your best friends dinner so when you got off work, dinner was on the table. He was always so thoughtful of your needs and you thought it was the time to prioritize his.

"Take me to bed Harry." You whimper, "I want you." 

*7 MONTHS LATER* 

Things were hectic in your life but that was the way they always were but now it seemed like days stretched past 24 hours and turned into a marathon sprint that never ended. 

The day Harry unmistakably broke you was the day that sleep had everything on you. Going for days on end was something you were accustomed to but after he cut you deeper than you could ever be, sleep seemed to be your only friend. 

You thought you knew him better than anyone. He was your Harry, your everything, even your person maybe? 

But when his decision to take his career to the next step interfered in your relationship, your life; that was the day to call it quits no matter the devastation. He may have been your soulmate but maybe, just maybe it wasn't right. The timing, the place of it all was just too much. Your life just didn't have room for much else, especially someone who was willing to hurt you unimaginably and not walk away in order to lessen the blow. 

*2 WEEKS BEFORE THE INEVITABLE *

"Hey sunshine, just calling to let you know I wont be able to make it home this time. I'm sorry, the label has me doing something that I'm not sure is a good idea but they say it will help me in the long run." He sighs at the end, I imagine him palming his forehead.

"Look, I need you to listen to me when I tell you that you are everything to me, you make me want to become the best version of myself. During the months we have been together I have seen the best and worst side of you and I'm not running, promise. I want you to be mine forever, do you hear me? Just remember that." Harry expelled.

That was two hours ago and within those two hours you knew it was best to stay off your phone. You keep telling yourself to not look for anything leading you to clues about his voice mail. It wasn't like him to express his feelings over the phone, he was an in person 'declare-my-love-for-you' type of man so when you listened to it you thought it was best to stay off your phone. 

Trailing off to the shower in pursuit of getting to work, you hear your phone's inescapable shrill from your bedroom and decide to opt away from contact to that thing. 

As soon as you leave for work is when your heart stops, skips a few beats and then plummets into your stomach. 

"Harry Styles in a relationship with Camille Rowe? That is the best thing I have heard all week. The star tells us that they met months ago and kept it a secret in order to get to know each other. We cant wait for updates on their relationship. Now on to the juic--" That's all you can hear for the rest of the day, ringing in your mind like it is an announcement on the P.A. at work for all to hear. 

You knew that was the end of everything. Devastation didn't even hit the mark, it was like everything in the world was on fast forward and you were still trying to get through the commercials. Nothing made sense any more, the glass was no longer half full. It was completely drained and then smashed on the ground into a million little pieces. That was how her whole body felt, like it was just shattered on the ground, irreparable. 

The damage was done and there was nothing holding you back from wailing like a siren in front of all of the patients waiting for surgery, but your best friends always had your back. Making sure you eat during lunch and taking you to the bar at the end of your shift so you can drink the bottle dry. 

Just shy of a half hour sitting at the bar was when you were cut-off by Harry running into the bar rambling about how he thought they were spinning the tabloids another way. 

"I thought they were going to report that we just met and were already dating, I would have never let them ruin what we had by saying I knew her while you and I were together. I told them exactly what to say! I don't even know her, we just met." He jumbles his sentences trying to get hold of his clear message. 

You stand up from your seated position and start motioning for him to join you outside. Once out there, you decide what is best moving forward. 

"While we were together?" You scoff, trying to be as civil as can be under your obvious exhaustion, throwing your hands up in exasperation.

"At least you said something truthful in the last two minutes you decided to interrupt my break. Yes, you and I are no longer together. Honestly we should have never started something, our careers couldn't be more opposite and honestly I cannot afford to ruin my career over someone who wants to build his on lies. So thank you for what we had but from now on I would like to move forward, away from you." You keep talking in order to get your point across, hoping that when all is said and done there will be closure on both ends. 

You know that Harry does care for you but in these last twenty four hours you've learned is that maybe you can't have it all. Maybe happily-ever-afters are only for the imagination. 

Maybe life throws things at you so you can overcome them but there are times like these when she wonders what the message is supposed to be? 

Is there a message? 

That you can have one person in your life that should be your forever but just cant fit in there? 

"I know we never said it but I do love you, I think I always will but we can't make it fit. The time we spent together was great and I hope there is a lesson in there somewhere. I can only believe that closure is what we need now." She grabs on to his shoulder and goes in for a hug to end the conversation but he pulls back,"How could you think that we need closure? What we need is each other. I need you, in my life with me forever. You are always going to be the only one for me, I just know it." He grabs on to her and holds for dear life, hoping that he can convey her to stick it out for them both. 

"I know what I'm feeling is selfish because I never want to hurt you but my career is part of my life and I can't run away from who I am but I want you in my life, always. I will never stop loving you." Harry pulls away and looks in her eyes with tears in his," I cannot fathom a life without my sunshine. Maybe the timing is wrong but cant we make it right?" 

[Y/N] pulls away, trying to compose herself and make the most rational decision. She needs to think about her life and what she needs, not anyone else. "Harry Styles, while being with you was the best rollercoaster ride of my life, and if I could stay on forever I would do so; I have to get off. I need to pull away for the sake of my head and heart. Being with you makes me happy but when it interferes with my work, which is saving lives, I have to be on one hundred percent all the time. You have clouded my thoughts and judgement, and while being a star is part of who you are, being a doctor is me so I cannot give up who I am. Sometimes maybe love isn't enough?" By this point you can't hold back the sobs you have held in since you knew the inevitable truth and holding them back would be foolish, so you let them come. 

Harry tries to grab onto you with the little strength he has left from crying and lack of sleep. "I cannot let you get away. You are my everything! I canno--" he tries to catch his breath in between the racks of his heart," please, please do not leave me [Y/N]. We can make this work. I love you and that is enough, it is enough for me. Please." Harry whispers the last part, crouching in front of you and trying to hold you to him. 

"It isn't enough for the both of us Harry, and you know it." You're trying to hold back until you can be alone. All you want is to crawl in bed and become dead to the world because that's how you feel right about now. " I will always love you and maybe one day that love will be enough but right now I just don't see how that is possible Harry. I can't rationalize what is happening in our relationship and tell you that we will make it through it. The best thing to do is cut our ties before we start to resent each other." You take one last breath, looking at your friends inside the bar. You signal to them that you're leaving, and say the one thing that you know will hurt the most. 

"I can't try anymore to be with you so this is my goodbye. I wish you the best Harry, I really do." In the middle of all this you had a death grip on his hands but now is the time to walk away from one of the best things to happen to you. As gut wrenching as it is, the best thing for the both of them was to move on. Worry about the time in their career when it is at the peak so as hurtful as it is, she knows that she is doing what's best. 

You pull away from his grasp, looking down at him kneeling on the ground and kiss his forehead. "I love you." You whisper through tears. 

All you can hear behind you is wails of sirens, drunk people cheering on the football game inside but the one thing that is the loudest is Harry's cries. As soon as you walk away you break down into a blubbering mess. Your friends catch up after you, while looking at the mess you and Harry made behind. You can hear Harry's cries of desperation and the only thing your heart is telling you to do is 'go back, go back to him' but you know it's not logical. 

If it is meant to be you will make it work at a better time. Things will come together and make sense one day but not when her mind is a fuzzy mess. Maybe weeks, months or years later she will understand what it means to have love be enough. It has to mean something right? 

Good byes may hurt but sometimes they are unsurpassable. Sometimes they come barreling into your life totally unexpected and ruin something you thought could be forever.

can i have a vietnamese coffee please? i'm a junior in college & a bio anthro major (I Am A Woman In STEM) when i'm not doing hw, i make things, so i'd say i'm creative! right now i'm making earrings but my interests?? they shift like the wind. i love astrology(!!) & i'm a gemini. i'm an ~interesting~ mix between the Mom Friend & Vodka Aunt & i think i make it work! i love my friend more than anything! on the flip side, i can be kinda indecisive and passive aggressive. that's p much it! thank u♥

i match you with... tendou !

headcanons 4 u

okay i know this seems mayhaps kinda odd to u bUT hear me out. ur both really creative and tendou is a wild mix of parental & vodka aunt too. tendou loves hearing about the hobbies you pick up and is pretty content to sit there and vibe/make witticisms as you work. you guys try out diff hobbies together, from sticker making to horticulture. tendou has been into gymnastics and embroidery and likes to bake/make chocolates in his free time and experimentally cook with random ingredients. he makes you pick out boxes of random ingredients for him and its wild because his food always ends up tasting good and he just gives you all of it to take home. you guys get into long-winded discussions about passion projects/topics and have a really good relationship about showing each other the different things you like

best selection of alcohol ever. mixing drinks as a new hobby, mayhaps? you end up hosting nights in at your place and everyone crashes on your floor. tendou babies goshiki like no other and bitches at semi, who you actually vibe talking to. there’s always an eclectic playlist of music on because you guys end up letting everyone pick at least one song and the initial playlist of your choice changes drastically depending on your vibe. tendou’s playlists are just always eclectic. you like hauling or redireciting your drunk or tired friends onto the bed if you can but tendou jus drapes a blanket over them wherever they may have laid down and passed out.

if you’re going out tho? you’re going out. your nights out are wild and alternate between you being a too-sober mom friend, you being a drunk mom friend, and you being like 7 shots of vodka deep. you always give the best drunk advice and tendou always films it and asks you deep questions about life. tendou is an enabler and got you all 7 shots. its hard to get him drunk so he likes filming you for prosperity and calling you “my little drunky” fondly as he gets you home safe

tendou knows how to play the game but also doesnt have time for bullshit. mans analyzes a situation and knows what he wants out of it. he helps you narrow down the options and reads you like a book to help you decide something, whether that’s what to eat or a more significant problem. he finds it kinda funny when you’re passive aggressive actually, but if he’s ever Not then he shuts it down and you two work it out asap. usually he lets you kinda stew in it for a while if you’re mad. tendou only meddles if he feels like he needs to

i feel like you guys would just go on so many adventures together/try so many new things? tendou is all about introducing his fav things to you, but tendou is also about like, living life in whatever capacity. he’s limitless. he Knows what you’re in the mood for, he’s uncanny and we all love him for it. he brings you the type of coffee or food you’re craving but usually doesn’t stay long, just swinging by to drop it off. he knows when to drag you out and when to leave you be. king of giving you space to figure out your own shit because you’re an independent womxn. tendou is, however, a steady pillar to lean on. he may appear kinda in-and-out, definitely very casual in the beginning but as you guys build your relationship and life, he buckles down and gets into it and it’s definitely something that helped shift the vibe of your relationship.

also you can never surprise him. he ruins all the surprises you plan and if you ever “surprise” him he just acts shocked. he doesn’t even try and ends up laughing when you smack him in the arm

[swiftlythebest]

Hey, I'm sorry you're having a rough day! Please, can you, WOULD you HC a NicoxLevi (that's our only mutual fandom, lol!) "cooking for both sets of parents" thing for me? Cute, fluffy, angsty, romantic - I don't care, just not smutty? I'm not in the mood and honestly the idea of smutty cooking has always made me a little grossed out. Like, you're gonna EAT that food!?!?! After you did THAT to it?!?!?!? 🤣 Thank you, and I hope your day gets better! 💖💖

This is all very stream of consciousness. I didn’t really edit and just let it all come out. Which ended up helping a lot. Also, I agree about not wanting smutty cooking. 

Okay. So. Neither of them is a master chef or anything because they really don’t have the time. Nico has a few family recipes in his back pocket (turns out Korean/Italian fusion is actually pretty good). Levi has been known to burn soup. Living with his mom made it so he never really had to learn to cook.

Myrna keeps kosher so they have to make sure to keep with that, which works because Nico’s dad has been having trouble with dairy recently, and his mom is allergic to most shellfish.

They settle on a pasta dish mostly because it seems almost impossible to screw up, especially with two people. Except... They read the recipe wrong and it turns out the sauce needs to simmer for at least half an hour but oops! They started 15 minutes before everyone was supposed to arrive. Nico, in an effort to speed up the process, takes charge of the sauce, effectively ruining the cute couple-y vibe they were hoping to establish. 

Remember how Levi is known to burn soup? Yeah, that skill transfers to pasta too.

A knock sounds at the door while half the components of the sauce are still waiting to be added and the pasta is, somehow, charred. Levi is freaking out because he’s not sure is Nico’s parents like him yet (they do) and he was hoping a home-cooked meal would impress them. He answers the door with a sheepish grin, accepting the bottle of wine they brought and hoping they don’t comment on the burning smell. His mom arrives a few minutes later, giving him a sly grin, knowing he messed it up somehow.

Nico remains in the kitchen, trying his best to salvage the meal, but they don’t have a full box of pasta and the half-full ones are not going to feed 5 people. The sauce finishes and is... fine? It’s not worth the hour it took to make and is sort of irrelevant without the pasta.

When he emerges from the kitchen, sauce all down his shirt, giving the impression he just left surgery, his mom starts laughing, his dad soon joining in and Myrna following. Levi and Nico look at each other helplessly because what?

As the two try to explain themselves, Myrna asks where the takeout menus are, selecting the Thai restaurant Levi raves about. So 40 minutes later, they sit around the table eating pad thai and curry, all three parents mocking the two boys. They make arrangements to all get together again, with the parents arriving early to help cook and hopefully teach their sons something.

Hi there! I was wondering if you guys had any advice or any links to advice regarding creating a good mod application form, and/or selecting good mods for a zine. I've helped mod a few small-time zines and am currently working on organizing one myself for the first time, and I want to make sure I'm able to select co-mods who can really help the project live up to its fullest potential! Thank you in advance ^^

Hey! Unfortunately we don’t have any links to give you, but I can give you some general advice for selecting mods and suggest a couple things to include on your application form.

Firstly, you definitely want people with prior zine experience on your team if it’s your first time. There are pitfalls and surprises that a first-timer just may not be aware of, so it’s best to work with people who can make up for that with their own knowledge. BUT you want to make sure the experienced people you’re hiring here are trustworthy. Ask your applicants to specifically name (or better, provide links to) zines they’ve moderated and check them over carefully, Google them to see if any problems come up. Scam moderators are out there, and it’s well worth the couple months’ investment to them if they can run off with a few thousand dollars, so make sure you know your mods have ethically run zines that were a success. If you see red flags such as zines being cancelled, multiple dissatisfied customers/contributors, lack of transparency, etc., steer well clear.

Also, be extremely careful if you’re seeking out a moderator for finances or shipping. You’re trusting a stranger with people’s money and your product. Vet them carefully, or better yet, handle that yourself or do a digital zine. I always strongly recommend digital zines for first-timers so they can get a hang of the process! But if you have a trusted friend or you’d like to handle the shipping yourself, you’re welcome to it.

Secondly, ask your applicants to submit previous work where it’s applicable – if you’re looking for a graphic design mod to make advertisement images and format the zine’s PDF for printing/sale, ask them to submit a couple sample layouts and/or graphics they’ve made previously so you can make sure they’re of good quality.

Thirdly, it’s good to have a team, but remember what they say about too many cooks. An overcrowded mod team means nobody knows what the other mods are doing, and it can be hard to communicate with your contributors and your customers. Depending on who can do what and how large your zine is, 3-4 people is probably a good number, but use your best judgment on this based on your zine’s needs.

Lastly, make sure the people you’ll be working with know how to be professional. A zine is fun, but it’s also a work environment, and your co-moderators need to behave appropriately. Be sure to set boundaries with them and keep an eye out for out-of-line behavior like trash-talking contributors or mismanagement of social media/the Discord server/etc.

Also, make sure more than one person has access to everything – the social media login info, the email account, etc. I was once part of a zine where the head mod ended up trying to scam the customers, and since she was the only person who had access to everything, we couldn’t even get the customer list to give them a PDF as compensation. Yourself and someone else should know the login info.

Hopefully this helps a bit! Good luck with your zine and good luck finding mods! Anybody with advice to share, please reply/reblog!
