(Not my photo, credit to whoever made it!)
Tumblr media
I woke up to the sun invading my eyes. I opened them and moved my hand over my eyes to protect them from the harsh rays of light. I looked around and saw I wasn’t in my room, I was outside in a field. I sat up and looked around at the green grass with white flowers mixed in. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, this definitely wasn’t Riverdale. I looked down and saw was in a white dress that I totally wouldn’t wear.
Tumblr media
“Where the hell am I?” I asked standing up and looking around still.
“Not quite.” I heard a voice say and I looked around for the source.
“Hello?” I called out when I didn’t see anyone.
“Hello.” I heard the voice say again, it was a woman.
“Where are you?” I called out.
“I’m right here.” She said and I turned around. I jumped back and stared at her shock.
“Whoa! Give a girl a little warning.” I said.
“Oops, sorry.” She said with a kind smile.
“Who are you?” I asked looking her up and down. She was so beautiful. She had long blonde hair, pale skin, and piercing blue eyes, she was also wearing a white dress, it was longer than mine.
Tumblr media
“My name is Evangeline, and you’re Y/N.” She said and I backed away a bit more.
“How do you know my name?” I asked a little freaked out.
“I know everyone who comes here.” She said with a smile.
“Where is here?” I asked.
“The Inbetween.” She answered.
“The Inbetween? What the hell is that?” I asked confused.
“People who are one the brink of life and death come here. I help to decide if it’s time for them to move on or not.” She said.
“Brink of life and death?” I asked quietly and she nodded.
“Do you know what happened to you?” She asked and I thought for a moment.
“I-I was shot…” I said as tears filled my eyes. She looked at me sadly and nodded. She looked at my stomach and I looked down to see my white dress was stained with red.
“Now that you remember, we need to see if you should go back or not.” She said.
“Of course I’m going back!” I shouted.
“It’s not that simple. We need to see if it’s truly your time or not.” She said.
“Who the hell are you to decided that!” I growled at her.
“Well, I am an angel.” She said and I raised my brow.
“Where are your wings then?” I asked.
“We don’t have wings.” She said and I rolled my eyes.
“Whatever, just send me back.” I said.
“It’s not that simple.” She said with a sigh. I growled but before I could say anything we heard someone groan in pain. I turned around and saw a familiar beanie.
“Jug!” I shouted and ran up to him. He was beaten bloody.
“What happened to you?” I asked kneeling down next to him. He was wearing a bloody white t-shirt, shorts, and black sneakers.
Tumblr media
“Penny and the Ghoulies.” He said weakly, that when I noticed he had a patch of skin missing.
“Those fucking bastard!” I growled and Jughead chuckled.
“What’s so funny?” I asked.
“You sound like Sweet Pea.” He said with a small smile. I smiled and then he tried to stand up. I helped him and he looked at me.
“Wait… You’re dead…” He said and then looked around.
“Where are we?” He asked.
“The Inbetween.” Evangeline said appearing next to us. Jughead looked at me and I shook my head.
“We’re on the brink of life and death apparently.” I said and that when Jughead noticed the blood stain on my dress.
“Who’s that?” He asked pointing at the girl.
“My name is Evangeline, I’m an angel. I’m here to help decide if your time is truly up or if you go back.” She said.
“Yeah, I told her to send me back but she said it’s not that simple.” I said and rolled my eyes.
“It’s not.” She said.
“Then how do we get back?” He asked.
“Take my hand, both of you.” She said and held out her hands. Jug and I looked at each other and shrugged. We each took one of her hands and suddenly we weren’t in the field anymore. We were at Betty’s house. She was sitting on her bed crying her eyes out.
“Please be okay Juggie…” She sobbed.
“Betty…” Jughead said with frown. He tried to walk over to her but Evangeline pulled him back.
“You can’t interact with the living world.” She said.
“Why not?” He asked.
“You are not living or dead. You are here but if you go to her and touch her, you will make contact. Your decision hasn’t been made and you will mess will the natural order of the world.” She said and Jughead sighed.
“Fine.” He said and looked back at her.
“I can’t leave her or my dad.” Jughead said.
“Your dad?” Evangeline asked.
“Yeah, they need me. The Serpents need me.” He said and I gave him a small smile.
“You know getting yourself beaten to death broke your promise to me.” I said with a small smirk.
“Actually, I did it so the Serpents, including Sweet Pea, wouldn’t get killed in a war.” He said with a smirk of his own.
“Alright smartass.” I said rolling my eyes with a smile.
“I think I’ve seen enough to make a decision to make Forsythe’s fate. Your turn Y/N.” She said and held her hands out again.
“How’d you know my name?” He asked and I sighed.
“She knows everyone’s name that comes here.” I said and grabbed her hand. Jughead looked at me and I shrugged. He sighed and grabbed her hand. In the blink of an eye we were in a hospital room. I saw me lying in the bed with tubes in me. I pulled my eyes from my body and saw my father and brother sitting on either side of me.
“Come on hun, I know you’re a fighter…” My father whispered and kissed my hand. He had tears in his eyes, he hardly cried… Kevin look at him with sad eyes and then back at me.
“It’s been a few days dad, maybe… Maybe we need to let her go…” Kevin said and let a few tears fall down his face.
“No, she’s a fighter. She’ll make it. She has to.” My dad said and looked me, he also let his tears fall. It broke my heart to see them like this. I went to walk close but paused when I was at the end of my bed.
“I’m sorry…” I said to them and closed my eyes. I felt someone touch my shoulder and looked up to see Jughead.
“At least they know you’re still somewhat alive. Sweet Pea thinks your dead…” He said and my eyes widened.
“Why?” I asked shocked.
“My dad came to the bar on riot night and told us you were dead.” He said and I stared at him shock.
“Why would he do that?” I asked.
“My guess, to get the Serpents on board with fighting the Ghoulies, or to protect you. Or both.” He said and I looked back at my body. I felt another hand on my shoulder and Jughead had one on his too. We looked up to see Evangeline. She looked down at us and then past us. I looked in the direction she was looking at and saw Sweet Pea sitting on the floor of the Wyrm with other Serpents.
“Sweet Pea!” I called and went to run over to him. Arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me against the person. I looked up and saw Jughead.
“You can’t touch him, remember.” He said and I looked back at Sweets
“Hey Sweets, you need to eat.” Toni said walking up to him with soup.
“What’s the point…” He said.
“Come on dude, you haven’t eaten anything since the fight with the Ghoulies.” Fangs said sitting next to him.
“Because I should have died, but you to just had to fucking save me!” He shouted at them, causing the other Serpents to look at him.
“We weren’t going to let you die…” Toni said.
“You should have! At least I would be with Y/N right now!” He shouted.
“She wouldn’t want you to die.” Fangs said and Sweets shook his head.
“I have no reason to live anymore… She’s gone and nothing matters anymore…” He said and tears fell down my face. It broke my heart even more to see Sweet Pea so broken.
“No, Sweets I’m right here!” I cried trying to get out of Jughead’s grip.
“He can’t hear you.” Evangeline said.
“You need to send me back! I need to save him before he does something stupid!” I begged her. She looked at me and Jughead pulled me in for a hug.
“I’ve made my decision for both of you.” She said and grabbed us both. We were back in the field of white flowers. Jughead and I pulled apart and looked at her.
“You are both very brave and care for both friends and family alike.” She said and we nodded.
“It’s not your time yet. You will return to your lives, but you will not remember any of this.” She said and motioned her hand in a magical way. A white mist appeared in an arch shape and she smiled at us.
“Be careful.” She said. I ran u and hugged her.
“Thank you.” I said and she smiled. She pushed the two of us just in front of the misty arch and we grabbed each other’s hands. We walked through and then there was darkness…

Group Therapy (CONNOR MURPHY x READER)
AUTHORS NOTE: hello!!!!! i am back!!!!!!! i wrote this little thing, in hopes of making it a multiple part series. so this is just part one! but if you guys dont like it, let me know and ill just leave it as it is. I also want to take a moment to say that i am back to UPLOADING A FIC OR HEADCANON ONCE A DAY!! when i first started this blog, that was my uploading schedule. life got in the way, but im back baby!!!!! 
Word Count: 2.4k ish
TW: suicide, suicide descriptions, swearing, therapy groups , etc
PS: i have been to many group therapies, so this is all just based purely on personal experience. so if this is triggering to you, please dont read any further!!!!
           Connor Murphy was special. Not special in the way you would describe a rare artifact or gem. He was special like the waves in the ocean, the colours in the sky, or oil paint on a canvas. He was special because you knew what to expect. Like a wave in the ocean, you expected to crash. Like the colours in the sky, you expected to fade out after hours of daylight. Like oil paint on a canvas, you expected to dry and harden after creating something beautiful. Connor Murphy was a synonym for beautiful; only the rarest of poets could find in a dictionary. He was the sound that rolled off of the tongue of a politician. He was the feeling of warm laundry, draping around your body. Connor was all of these things—which is why his downfall was to be expected.
           You had tried numerous group therapies in the past. None of them seemed to improve your feelings or behaviors. But they stabilized your health, which is all you could really ask for. There was something equally pleasing and eerie about joining group therapy. It was oddly satisfying to hear everyone bitch and complain, but also eerie that the painted beige walls would contain a group of kids who tried to kill themselves. Talk about a Suicide Squad.
           You drove yourself to group therapy. This one was named Youth Wonders: Group Therapy and Psychiatrics. The name was slathered on the brick building in bronze lettering. It looked ancient. Maybe it looked cool back in 2002, but it made you roll your eyes just at the sight. You were 5 minutes early. Your keys were still lodged into your car ignition. This was the hardest part: getting out of the car. There was always that part of you that was tempted to ditch, go eat some McDonald’s for the hour, and go back home to tell your dad that everything went well. The feeling of guilt spread over your stomach just at the thought. You have lied to your father many times before. He didn’t deserve to be lied to again.
           Finally, you slumped out of the driver’s seat and walked into the horrid building. It smelt like old carpet and candle wax. Kind of like a church. But nothing Holy grew an abundance to you whilst walking through the halls. A white, thick door was stood open with a brick. On the inside if the door, facing you, a pink slip of paper was taped up.
“TEEN YOUTH SUICIDAL THERAPY GROUP”
           They really don’t sugar coat anything here. Your footsteps grew heavier as you walked through the door. Plastic chairs were all set up in a circle. Inside there were only four teenagers, and a woman who had a strange resemblance to Whoopi Goldberg.
           “Name, please?” her scratchy voice echoed off the walls. Her dry hands where clutching a clipboard and her pink pen was held between her fingers, like a cigarette.
           “Oh, uh, Y/N L/N,” you frowned, taking a seat across from her.
           According to the amount of chairs set up, there were only six people in the group. You, an empty chair, Whoopi-Goldberg-lady, and an empty chair. The empty chair was to your left. You stared at it, feeling cold. The awkward tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife. You took this moment of silence as an opportunity to look around the room. All of the teens glared at their feet.
           The girl next to you had red hair. Her face was populated with cystic acne that looked painful to the touch. Her ginger locks were pulled into a low ponytail. She wore a large men’s sweater that hung off of her skinny body. Sitting to her left was a large Filipino boy. He wore a purple sweater and old hiking shoes. The toe of the boots were worn out and his big toe peeked out. His hair was greasy, and he looked in need of a shower. Down the line, in the circle, sat a Latina girl. Her hair was done perfectly and her ears were pierced. Big golden hoops dangled from the lobes, reaching her collarbone. She was chewing bubblegum, and wearing a croptop – even though the temperature was just above freezing. Finally, in the corner sat a very pale white boy. He was short and skinny. He looked like he was 12 years old. His minecraft shirt had large orange stains, and had blonde whiskers growing in on his upper lip.
           Whoopi-Goldberg-lady took a final sigh, clicking her pen. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, another person stomped in.
           “You finally decided to join us…” the woman looked at her clipboard before reading out loud, “Connor?”
           The boy grunted in response, throwing his body down onto the chair next to you. You winced at the sound. He had long hair. The ends curled into the collar of his denim jacket. Your eyes trailed up to his face. The muscles in his jaw flexed as he grinded his teeth together. The Whoopi-lady stood up, smoothing out the material of her chiffon blouse.
           “Welcome, everyone. My name is Liz,” she spoke above her gravely tone.
           Her name was Liz. Finally, you could stop referring to her as the Whoopi-Goldberg-lady, in your head.
           “I will be your counselor and guide for this group. Within our 9 weeks here, I expect all of you to hit a few goals. The first being: opening up. I want you to share your story, knowing that whatever is said in here, stays in here.”
           You could hear the boy next to you, practically scoff.
           “So the first thing we are going to do is; go around the room, say your name, age, and explain why you are here.”
           You could feel everyone tense up.
           “Let’s start with,” Liz glanced at her clipboard. “Jamie.”
           The red-haired girl sat up straight. She removed her fingers from her mouth, as she was just chewing on her cuticles moments ago. Her bleeding fingers dove into the sleeves of her sweater.
           “Hi, I’m Jamie,” she spoke softly, almost like a robot. “I’m 15 and I’m here because I overdosed on sleeping pills.”
           Liz nodded, “Ok. Great. Thank you, Jamie.”
           Next in line was the boy in hiking boots.
           “Hi, I’m Leroy. I’m 16 and I tried to hang myself from a tree,” his voice was a deep baritone. But was quickly cut off by the Latina girl beside him.
           “Did the tree break, fatty?”
           “Andrea,” Liz warned. “This is supposed to be a safe space.”
           “Ok, yeah, whatever. I’m Andrea. I’m 18. This is my third time here. I took too much meth and blacked the fuck out. So I’m here,” she snapped her gum, fingering the golden hoop on her ear.
           “Daniel, your turn,” Liz looked at the small pale boy.
“Hi, um, I’m Daniel. I’m 16 and I, uh,” the boy began to sob violently. Your heart broke a little bit. The boy next to you, Connor, scoffed. You were almost in disbelief at his heartless gesture.
“It’s ok, hun. Take your time,” Liz spoke softly.
Daniel continued, hiccupping and telling the group how he tried to end his life just two weeks prior. After many tissues, Liz continued down the line.
“Connor?”
The boy next to you, shifted in his seat. He was now sitting up, straight. His long legs tangled over each other. His large, black combat boots looked heavy against his skinny shins. He was wearing a lot of layers.
“Yeah, hi, I’m Connor. I’m 17. I tried killing myself 3 weeks ago.”
“How? You have to say how,” Andrea twirled her hair around her finger.
“Why? Do you get off to people’s backstories or some shit?” he hissed back.
Liz waved the two of them off, gesturing that it was okay to keep those details private. Next was you. And you could feel your breath become heavy. All eyes landed on you.
“Well, uh, my name is Y/N. I’m 17, also. I tried killing myself last year, but I’m here because my therapist told me to,” you spoke softly.
“That’s fucking boring.”
“Andrea!”
 You were pouring coffee into a Styrofoam cup, rubbing the drowsiness out of your eyes. It was the half-way mark through group therapy. The group is given a 15 minute break between the two hours, and there is a small table full of shitty snacks and coffee.
“Coffee at 1pm?” a voice spoke from behind you. You turned to see that Connor boy offering you a lazy smirk.
“Yeah, what’s wrong with that?”            “Well it’s shitty filtered coffee, and no one drinks coffee in the middle of the afternoon.”
“I didn’t know you cared so much,” you spoke while moving to the side, putting creamer and 8 packets of sugar into the small cup. “I just didn’t sleep well last night.”
“Jesus Christ,” he gaped at the amount of sugar you put in.
“It’s good, you should try it some time,” you mused, taking a small sip.
Connor shook his head, pouring some of the filtered brew into a cup of his own. “No, thanks. I’d like to live well into my thirties.”
“Isn’t that the opposite of why you’re here?”
“Touché.”
 The rest of the afternoon went as expected. Red-haired girl went on a rant about her dad never loving her, Daniel cried some more, and Liz gave us homework to complete for next week. The green folder full of worksheets will be added to the pile of therapy homework that you never do. You have other things on your plate. You have a job, school, and university to think about.
While walking to your car, you see the tall boy leaning against the hood of your car.
“Uh, hi?” you spoke, raising on eyebrow.
He jumped a little bit, not seeing you at first. “Oh, hey, can you drive me home? My dad is at work and my mom…” he trailed off, looking at his feet.
You scratched the back of your head, not really knowing what to say.
“I’m sorry, I barely even know you. I should just walk home-“ he began to ramble, grabbing his messenger bag from between his feet.
“Get in,” you sighed, unlocking the car.
“Wait. Really?”
“What’s your address?”
The car ride was pretty silent. It contained the sound of your humming motor, and the small murmurs of directions from Connor. You had asked him what street he lived on, but he just told you that he would direct you there. He lived on the outskirts of the city. By following his directions, you drove into the suburbs. The houses were all parallel to each other. Each of them very large, big two-car garages, and nicely trimmed lawns. It was the type of neighborhood that would give out the good candy on Halloween.
“It’s the house on left, here,” he mumbled once again. Your eyes practically bugged out of your head.
“This one?” you took one hand off the steering-wheel to point to the house in front of you. It was gigantic. It was painted yellow with a dark blue door. It must have been at least 4 stories high. The backyard, from what you could see, was massive. Two large pillars on other side of the front door, reminding you of pictures in textbooks about ancient Rome.
As you pulled into his driveway, Connor picked at his nail polish. “What? Are you surprised?”
“A little,” you laughed, looking over at him.
He began to pick up his bag, looking over at you. The sunset in the sky casted a pink shadow in your car, making everything a rose colour.
“Well, uh, thanks. I’ll see you next week,” he spoke, stepping out of your car.
You watched as the goth boy walked into the giant, yellow house. It was a sight to see.
 Next week rolled around, and you were five minutes early. You sat in your car, rubbing your temples. Another night without sleep. It was beginning to take a toll. Sitting in your car became a ritual you had. It gave you time to mope, before having to put on a brave face for wherever you were going. You let out a large sigh. Your head was pounding. Placing your forehead in the palms of your hands, you laid them down on the steering wheel. Closing your eyes, you were grateful to have a second to decompose.
It was quiet until you heard your passenger door open and slam shut. You let out a scream, sitting back, looking at the man who just entered. It was Connor.
“WHAT THE HELL?”
“Chill the fuck out.”
“CONNOR, YOU CAN’T JUST DO THAT.”
“What? Get in someone’s car? I know. I’m not an idiot.”
You began to go on a slight rampage, telling him about how many girls get abducted by leaving their cars unlocked. He responded by telling you to ‘lock your fucking car, then’. Before you could shout another witty response, he shoved a cup of hot coffee into your hand.
“Here.”            “What… What is this?”
“Coffee, you dumbass.”
“Yeah, I know. But why?”
He just shrugged, taking a sip out of his own cup, leaning back in the passenger seat.
“So, why do you sit in here?” he mumbled against the warm lid of his beverage.
“It’s just nice, I guess?” you spoke out softly, rubbing your eyes.
Connor nodded, drinking his coffee quietly. You did the same.
  Lunch time came around. Therapy had been going well. But you couldn’t help but find yourself staring into space every other minute. It was no group participation. It consisted of Liz telling everyone that how they were feeling is “okay”. It wasn’t anything that you hadn’t heard before.
You stood up the moment Liz said that your 15 minute break began. You walked over to the snack table, pouring another cup of coffee. Connor watched you from his seat, chewing on his bottom lip.
No one else had picked up on your caffeine habits. Rather, the rest of the teenagers fought over the sugar cookies that were lined up on the table. You walked back to your seat, sighing loudly as your butt hit the chair. You took a large gulp of the cheap caffeine, letting your eyes settle close for a moment.
“You know, I never got to hear your story last week,” you spoke softly with your eyes still closed.
“Well, same goes to you, I guess,” he mumbled back, slouching into his chair.
You cracked an eye open, looking at him. “Mine isn’t as recent.”
He shrugged back, watching you as your eyes flutter shut once more.
“My family is shit. My parents hate me. Some kid wrote a weird letter about my sister. I freaked the fuck out. It was just kind of the last straw, I guess?”
 It was quiet for a few more moments. You opened your mouth to speak, then Liz clapped loudly, asking everyone to return to their seats. Group began again, and Connor avoided your eyes at all costs.

OOE:
So in order to take back some of the order on my blog, I’m gonna keep the tally for today’s stuff on one post, then when I’m done watching tomorrow, I’ll put that tally on here as well.

Bad 39: The fact that Will felt so alone and outcasted to the point that he felt the need to tear the castle down after looking around at all the memories in it and bursting into tears. My poor lad. I’ve been in the same boat, fuck the boys honestly. Good 25: The scoops troop at it again, actually being productive in their side of the story. Bad 40: Something I just don’t get at all is the fact that Jane just.. introduces herself as El, giving herself away almost immediately. Hun, you have another name, you’re not still a number. Idk that thing just irks me. Bad 41: And again, Will just being used for the ‘woe is me/enemy locator’ trope.

Will’s only purpose being that he senses the mindflayer– like what the fuck he could be used for so much more. Bad 45: This is just a thing– I honestly hate that we only get one scene with the hoppers and also the byers acting like a family. All that build up in season 2??? wasted. All that potential wasted. Bad 46: The mayor taking a jab at Hopper and his ‘dead daughter sob story’. Damn right you deserved that fucking punch. Good 28: Joyce pulling the phone line when the receptionist tried to call the police. Good 29: The scoops troop and their hilarity. Bad 47: Max continuing to be in complete denial over Billy’s role with the mindflayer. Good 30: “Don’t you love your country” “You can’t spell America without Erica” I love Erica so much Good 31: “I want you to forget about sales and come work for me at hawkins pd.” “And have to look at your face every day? I don’t think so.” I have to admit that was cute Good 32: Karen actually being a mom for a change and listening to and supporting Nancy. Good 33: “He made me lie, I mean–” “What if he’s right?” “No no no he’s just a crazy old man” “No, if I only see you and I’m a different species, maybe I should be with my own species more.” Bad 47: “Wait you spied on me? That’s totally against the rules!!!” Mike she’s a telekinetic who can locate people and also implode your brain. There are no rules. Good 34: “I make my own rules.” Except hers. Good 35: “If you die, I die” “Okay” Dustin’s such a ride or die bitch I love it. Bad 48: How many times has Will been used for mindflayer location? 4-5 times? Bad 49: Jane relenting when protecting herself and her friends. I’m sorry but if someone’s had a hand to her throat or face or anything she’s thrown whoever did that through a wall, caught off guard and not. Good 36: She eventually did throw Billy through a wall but still the point remains
Episode 4 mark - 36-49

Good 40: “She was making bad screams” “What’s a good scream” Max: “Doesn’t matter–” Bad 55: Hop making the joke that every man Joyce talks to must be another version of Clark. Yikes man, she burned you that bad? Good 41: “He’s a dangerous child murderer” As Alexei smiles whilst sipping his cherry icee.

This particular month’s version of the mostly samey questions I like to re-answer every now and then because perspectives change or whatever.

2: If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be? Someone willing to give a stranger in need lots of money.
3: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17. I’m too depressed to move, that’s why I’m even doing this question thing again. All my books are on my bathroom shelf. Fuck.
4: What do you think about most? The unceasing dissatisfaction I have myself, I don’t know. With happy thoughts though: it’d have to be Joe. If he wasn’t here I wouldn’t be either.
5: What does your latest text message from someone else say? “Upstairs toilets Hun xx”
6: Do you sleep with or without clothes on? Depends how warm it is and what company I have.
7: What’s your strangest talent? Honestly couldn’t tell you. I’m pretty strange but not talented.
8: Girls… (finish the sentence); Boys… (finish the sentence) Girls love their daddies; Boys have healthy relationships with their parents
9: Ever had a poem or song written about you? No, but for my birthday this year a girl I was seeing gave me a framed poem by E.E. Cummings
It was adorable. She was adorable. Fuck.
10: When is the last time you played the air guitar? Yesterday, it was a nice day. A good send off.
11: Do you have any strange phobias? Commitment
12: Ever stuck a foreign object up your nose? Not to my knowledge. But that could just be the brown crayola sticking in my frontal lobe talking.
13: What’s your religion? Orthodoxy for those sweet stability events, local unrest and missionairy strength bonuses yea my EU4 bois know what I’m talkin’ about.
14: If you are outside, what are you most likely doing? Sitting down and taking in whatever scenery there is, enjoying a warm or cold breeze and breathing relatively fresh air. Bonus points if I have a glass of old mout on the rocks.
15: Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it? Depends how vain I’m feeling at the time.

20: What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength?
Most likely the same thing: I think too much.
21: Who is your celebrity crush?
Maisie Williams, this world doesn’t deserve such a cutie
22: Have you ever gone skinny dipping?
Nah
23: How do you vent your anger?
idk I go out and drink with ppl or something
or I don’t vent at all and bottle it up and break down after a year or something
24: Do you have a collection of anything?
I have kept some stuff that has emotional significance to me. Mostly from ended friendships and relationships. Things they gave me, or things I owned at the time and reminds me of the way I felt at the time, and how they felt about me. It’s a sobering thing to keep around.
I recently had a pretty bad few days because I lost something like that, I lost a necklace that a girl I was seeing this year left at my place so she had an excuse to come back to my place the next time she was around, when I ended things because I wasn’t ready to commit to a relationship with her, I knew she would get more attached, and she was too sweet for me to hurt. Although I probably did anyway, I kept the necklace and wore it almost all the time to remind myself of what I did and why I should always be sure about what I want before I get someone else who’d care about me invested.
Drunk me lost that necklace, hopefully it’ll come around, but knowing me. Yeeeaaahh I doubt it.
25: Do you prefer talking on the phone or video chatting online?
If it’s with my girlfriend, video chatting. But other than that the phone is much less stress.
26: Are you happy with the person you’ve become?
Yes and no. It’s hard to explain how I feel about myself, but I feel experienced and weathered. I like my sense of humour, I like my level of emotional maturity for the most part, I’m certainly better than most. But I’m not really doing anything with my life, and I’m in a very bad place. I’d go into more detail honestly, but it’d be like trying to untie a ball of wrapped cables.
27: What’s a sound you hate; sound you love?
The sound of a fork scratching a plate, seagulls yelling. And I love the elegant and refreshing sound of a drink being poured onto ice and fizzling up against the glass. Failing that a girl getting fucked moaning.
28: What’s your biggest “what if”?
What if I got good grades in school, and passed my A-Levels?
or
What if I managed to keep the people I loved when I wanted them?
29: Do you believe in ghosts? How about aliens?
Ghosts no Aliens sure
30: Stick your right arm out; what do you touch first?  Do the same with your left arm.
An empty bottle of cider I drank with my pizza just hours ago. It kinda sucked, but I needed something to wash down the pizza.
The pizza box.
31: Smell the air. What do you smell?
My aftershave, I put it on before I left to go out with Adam an hour or so ago.
32: What’s the worst place you have ever been to?
A half destroyed doctors office in Spain.
33: Choose: East Coast or West Coast?
East Coast, Californians are cunts.
34: Most attractive singer of your opposite gender?
Taylor Momsen xo
35: To you, what is the meaning of life?
Europa tbh

Europa tbh

How to Entertain a Girl Over Text: Excite Her Mind with Words
The song was right! Girls just want to have fun. Here’s how to entertain a girl over text and keep her coming back for more of your wit and charm.
Have you ever wondered how to entertain a girl over text? Does it make a difference? I’ve found that you don’t have to entertain a girl through text to get her out and on a date, but having the skill set still helps me:
#1 Keep long-term female friendships going even when we don’t meet often.
#2 Keep long-term intimate options open, even when we’ve yet to meet up.
#3 Convince a girl to meet up if she’s unsure about me or busy.
#4 Get a girl excited about me.
#5 Have lots of hilarious conversations over text that make me actually LOL and my week feels that much cooler.
For me, entertaining a girl is not about tap dancing for her. Rather, it’s about getting my unique voice across. Obviously, communication limitations occur with texting.
However, I’ve not only used text to convert a girl from being unsure about me to saying I was super fun and amazing. Once I even had a girl text me that she would leave her boyfriend because I’m the man she really needs in her life. *I actually told her I would not go out with her because she already had a boyfriend, which is why she decided to leave*
How to entertain a girl over text
You can absolutely keep a girl’s interest and excite her over text. Here are a few tips on how to go about it.
#1 Using memes. If you’re like me and don’t want to work when you send text messages then memes are invaluable. Memes are shared pictures, sayings, general ideas, or sometimes very short video clips that for whatever reason have become so popular that they get shared over and over again within a culture.
Maybe it’s a still from a movie or some YouTuber who went viral or a presidential blooper moment that got snapped and used by journalists all around the world. Others are specific to particular cultures such as Jamaican patois. People sometimes write text on top of these images or videos or sayings—to support or make a point or just be funny or satirical.
Maybe you have a still of a cat wearing a small top hat and looking untrustworthy. If a girl says something that seems unbelievable, rather than reply with words, hit her with the meme. Or surprise-meme her during your day with one that made you laugh.
Memes are great because they don’t need a proper reply. They are casual, but often start a fun conversation. Here’s where the skill comes in: if you use memes that show you’re playful and fun but also show you get the type of culture she’s into, you tap right into her world, which may well be her Twitter and Facebook feed—people these days… [Read: Smartass quotes: 48 smart and sarcastic lines that kick ass]
#2 Writing how you talk—just more punchy. Example:
Her: Hey how are you sweetie? Me: Good hun x. I went for a run. Super thirsty now @_@
I think sometimes the more you try to be clever or invulnerable or whatever ‘supreme confidence’ persona, the more you come off as odd or insecure. Not everyone has time to sit down and craft a well-thought out text. We all have busy lives. I trust she knows this and doesn’t expect that with every text she sends, I’ll spend 15 minutes thinking about my reply. [Read: 18 casual things to text a girl and leave her addicted to you]
#3 Not overanalyzing her. This probably just makes you seem try-hard. I prefer going with the flow and if something doesn’t make sense I might just text her ‘okay… I’m following you *insert confused emoji*’.
#4 Making statements not questions. You know the saying *I’ve just made it up by the way*: ‘it’s easy to make a question, it’s hard to make a statement.’ Making a statement tells her about your personality, the way you think, and that you have your own opinion. It’s entertaining to try and decode somebody.
However, a barrage of questions usually makes me feel as if the person’s trying to get something out of me. So, I never drill her for answers. Although it can be fun to drop some daring questions about her interests and personality suddenly and briefly, to catch her off guard. [Read: How to text a girl you like and make her want you]
#5 Being casual *think Twitter*. Nothing kills entertainment more than when someone cares too much about what others think of them. Or when they’re too structured. When I’m texting to entertain, I write as if for some crazy blog, not for a formal essay.
I’m never afraid to be random, instant, or shocking when looking to entertain. Entertainment is all about holding attention and moving it where you want it to move. I’m not long-winded. I’m thinking 150 characters rather than 1500 words. I want to leave her wanting more and not as if she has homework to do when she receives a text message from me.
Here’s the key I use, which serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk calls ‘document, not create’: I don’t need to create a new text idea or thread every time I send a message. I might post a photo of me hanging out with a mate. I ask myself: what’s happening right now? Or when something happens I share it, sometimes with a twist.
Example:
Me: ‘My neighborhood cat is just watching me.’ Her: ‘LOL, what?’ Me: ‘It’s expression kind of reminds me of when you look surprised.’
You can always go back to an old thread if one dies out, because new things are always happening to you. [Read: How to start a text conversation with a girl – 15 rules to impress]
#6 Disagreeing. Nothing is more annoying than a people pleaser. I’ve definitely been there before. You are way more interesting when you have your own opinions. I’ll avoid being too serious when I disagree if she doesn’t know me well.
#7 Talking about ‘we.’ This can be used in the silliest of contexts: ‘We should climb Mount Everest this weekend or maybe that’s a bad idea?’ Using ‘we’ creates a feeling of progress in a cool way, as if you build something together. [Read: Texting etiquette: 20 unwritten rules of savvy flirting]
#8 Not setting a date/place/time to meet. It can be boring and even annoying when you know what’s going to happen before it happens. Yeah, maybe it’s safe and secure but not exactly exciting.
So, even though I might use ‘we’ to let her know that I intend on doing something with her at some point, I’m not overeager to put it all in digital ink. This is an adventure together, not a business deal.
#7 Matching the length of her text messages. The only time I ignore this rule is if I’m in a particularly no F’s given sort of mood or tipsy. But generally, if a girl always replies to my messages with a much shorter reply, I take this to mean she’s not as invested in me as I am in her.
In that case, I slow it down. Anything too abundant in supply and too low in demand usually has low value, let alone low entertainment value. [Read: How to play hard to get with a girl and do it just right]
#8 Avoiding emojis if she doesn’t reciprocate. This keeps more mystery with regard to my level of excitement and interest. I’ve experimented with using lots of emojis and I suspect it makes you seem too keen if it’s only one-way. [Read: 18 really obvious signs a girl likes you over text]
#9 Being cheeky. I’ve written about this before because it so damn useful. The problem with text messages is that you can’t give a nod and a wink when you’re being playful. But you don’t need to when you can send a ;-).
Emojis also let you get away with more than you would think. So when you send a risqué message that might surprise her, just add a 🙂 afterwards. We all have busy lives and don’t have the time to read between the lines constantly, this helps her know you’re being cheeky.
#10 Doing these and seeing how she reacts. I’ll show different sides of me and see how she reacts to it. I might:
a. Be bold – ‘Yeah, I kill people for a living.’
b. Be cheeky – ‘Sp, what are you wearing right now?’
c. Be cocky – ‘My nickname is God.’
d. Be complimentary – ‘Wow, you are seriously cute, love that pic.’

#11 Responding to her tests fearlessly. The key I use when keeping an entertaining conversation going is to respond rather than to react. For me, being reactive becomes like an addiction that makes my mood shift with each reply. Whereas, when I’m responsive I just share my good energy and invite her to also share.
So if she becomes rude then I just call her out on it fearlessly and without getting emotional. Sometimes I improvise a joke out of it, because I don’t really care what some girl thinks of me if she doesn’t know me. I try not to text if I’m in a crappy mood or if she’s pissed me off.
Example *this is roughly how it’s panned out in the past for me*:
Her: ‘That’s not funny. You actually sound like an asshole.’ Me: ‘Yes, I keep getting rewarded with coitus for it. I’m a victim.’ Her: ‘Okay… sure weirdo.’ Me: ‘Listen, I was having fun, but if you really don’t like my sense of humor then maybe we just won’t hit it off as I like to banter. It’s a pity because I liked you when we met.’ Her: ‘LOL. Okay… actually I was just teasing you :-).’ [Read: How often should you text a girl? 17 must-know rules of texting]
#12 Not always being available. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. I don’t text a girl on a Friday or Saturday unless I already created the habit of meeting her on those days. I don’t text her because those days are for people who are actually part of my social life in person.
I also don’t always reply immediately. I might leave it a day in some cases. Other times we might have a text marathon—I play it by ear. Also, if she delays in her reply to me for a significant amount of time then I might give it a bit of time before I reply.
Casual, playful, unpredictable, challenging, and fearless are good approaches for entertaining text. Keeping some mystery and unavailable at times lets her do the rest of the work for me in her imagination.
