#MAN THIS WAS A LOT

[twsted-princess]

A Dilemma

To celebrate one hundred ships with my main girl, really I wanna thank all my friends for tolerating my bullshit and making many of my favorite memories. Y'all are the best.

This is bad. This is really, really bad. Melanie stared up at her ceiling, there was a small hole that needed fixing but that wasn't on her mind. She couldn't sleep. Not with her brain racing in every direction. The thoughts in her head were clear as day as she listened to Grim snore. Rolling over to her side, stuffed toy in hand she reached for her phone. Patting around until she found it and turned it on while laying back in her original spot. Her fingers typed the password and headed to the text button, then immediately tapped on her group chat. The one she shared with her closest friends. She quickly sent a message, most of them are sleeping so they probably won't see it but it was important. 'Could we meet up after school tomorrow? There's something I need to say.' Mel then turned her phone off, placing it aside and closed her eyes. Hoping to get at least some sleep in before what might happen tomorrow.

The phone went off a few times for the rest of the night as she slept not as well as she'd like. Soon it was morning, the usual routine. Get ready for school, do some chores, get whatever work Crowley's needs done, then classes followed by more work and then lunch. Lastly more classes until the final bell rings. She got up from her seat as Kirsten walked over to her. "Ya ready?" She asked as the brunette collected her things, Mel nodded and the two were off. Louise poked his head out from the chest pocket to see Melanie. He was concerned, he knew she had something on her mind but he didn't want to pry. But she seemed happy talking to Kirsten about whatever was on their minds as they walked down the hall. Keres saw the two and waved them down as they stood around with the rest of the crew. The girls headed over to the small crowd before Melanie gestured for them to follow her. "So what's the big rush Mellomar?" Keres asked as they headed out into the front courtyard and down the path to the Ramshackle. "I'll explain but....it's important." Melanie smiled weakly and the gang followed.

At the dorm the group sat down on the squeaky not super comfortable couch and chairs with Carol grabbing drinks from the fridge so that they can quench their thirst. Melanie sat in her chair, holding the lemon lime soda can as Keres was the first to speak up. "Sooooooooo you gonna tell? We won't judge." they smiled at the princess who patted her leg with her hand, fighting the creeping thoughts in her head. "Well...........um..........." She couldn't even look at her friends and Louise stared up at her. "Your highness it's ok." He watched her brows furrow before nodding. Taking a breath she squeaked out a simple phrase. "I think I'm in love." Louise gasped as the gang stared at her in shock, turning than into joy. "Congratulations!!!" Melody squealed as she clasped her hands together while Nyphy shot her a thumbs up. Keres and Kirsten shared a smirk as the Idia's right hand woman spoke up "About fucking time." Carol grinned as Louise stood there in awe. She's in love???? Well......this is new!!! But he gave Melanie a big grin and went off "Who is it? They ought to be a good pick!!" She then looked away, twirling two fingers around with her cheeks turning pink. "There's.........a problem with that." The group then looked confused as she muttered "I like............a lot of people." Carol looked to the group before gazing back at Melanie. "It means you just have a big heart, but I am curious of exactly who you fell for."

The gang listened in as she recounted her recounting her tales. There was one with a naga girl that lives in the Ramshackle that she's known for a while, another with a carny bear guy from Savanaclaw. Carol was the first to know that folks the princess fell for. Fabio, the rabbit beastman and one of her students. He was a sweet guy, the perfect candidate really. Then she heard Kumo's name. Sure he was a thief but he treats the both of them with respect so she guessed he wasn't too bad. Then came Fennec, another decent guy who would treat Mel right even if he's a wanderer. But then....Tyler. She frowned at the thought of him being with her best friend. Hate.......is a strong word but she thought he was a real ass. But he seemed to be good around Mel so she bit her tongue and sipped her soda. More stories flowed as the princess gushed about a fox boy from that Wanou dorm Leroy keeps visiting.

More stories poured in from Melanie as she talked about even more folks she's experienced. From the sleepy first frog loving boy from Sombraj and another Savanaclaw student, this one was a female hunter. Nyphy was paying attention but she couldn't help but look at the clock. She wasn't gonna take long right? Granted none of them really had something planned but as Melody and Carol asked more questions she could feel herself doze off. Then she heard Eric's name. She knew him....sort of. He's a vice leader at Hourglass Station and she knew they've been penpals as Mel had shown her a letter from him. So she got the hots for him? She thought about it before smiling to herself, Eric's bro's gonna have a field day with that knowledge. Reagan was also not totally paying attention but she enjoyed listening to the others cheer her on. Darcy then came up and she blinked. He's that Scarabia tutor, weirdo but not a bad guy she guessed. Melody herself was cheery as can be. Cooing over her friend's crushes and pushing her to spill more of the tea. With a warm smile she listen to the stories seeing Mel blush and get flustered. She heard a familiar boy with a penchant for flirting and gardening, that had to be Sylvain. He's a great guy!! Then she heard another HSA student who tends to hoverboard! Oh that would be Saphira! Another great pick! But then Mel mentioned two folks at once, well of course she knew a sleepy man with a son and a moth mom any day of the week. Daido and Amalya, both wonderful choices!!

Lacie yawned, stretching her arms to the sky and drudging down the hall. Trying to talk to demons sure can knock you out. She rubbed the hour long nap sleep from her eyes as she headed down the hall, what she needed was food. Maybe some mango or berries, anything sweet. But as her sliper clad feet guided her to the treasure trove of sugar she could hear giggles and someone talking. She knew who it was, her dorm leader but when she peeked around the corner she wasn't expecting people over. Or even what the blue eyed senorita was talking about. Crushes.....oh well. Gossip is gossip and Lacie was interested. She leaned against the wall out of sight as she listened in. Mel was gushing about this pretty girl with a beautiful singing voice in Pomefiore until she heard someone familar.

A tough lion girl from Savanaclaw and an ice cold siren from Octavinelle. Kiara and Veil, she shouldn't be that surprised. Then it was also the brooding beauty from Ignihyde who wanted to punch Idia, she chuckled to herself knowing it was Isidoros. The rest she all knew very well too. Lovette Diasomnia's vixen, Scarabia's forlorn mother Nasira, Octavinelle's chill son of the sea Nerus, the wolf of Arachninox Jinrou, Crowley's own son Erza, and especially the knightly feline Catherine with her pesudo boyfriend the friendly dragon Jasper. She smirked to herself seeing her friend get this red but her sly enjoyment turned to surprise when she talked about Pyxis. So she's got a thing for the masked man? Well this is exciting but before she could leave.......she heard her own name leave Melanie's lips. Oh.....oh wow. She felt her own face grow very warm as she heard her best friend talk about how she really had feelings for her.......and also Lyre. Well......this is....a lot. Lacie then quickly rushed back to her room, this needs some processing.

Maequlie smiled as the gang talked. It had been a while now but the conversation seemed to flow on. She watched as Louise chirped in here and there as Melanie talked about her loves, he looked happy but she could tell he was a little concerned over certain names coming up. Carol, Keres, Orion and Melody were still chatting but Nyphy had curled up in her chair scrolling through her phone and Kirsten had gone up to pace around the dorm. The jester grinned before taking a sip of her water as she listened to more tales. About a gentlemenly bat man, a dramatic fae, a sly incubus and a sake loving demon from another school. She chuckled to herself as her friend then spoke about someone she had an inkling of a vindication. Buka, the demon from Terrovania. She's seen them lingering around her before so it seems to be mutual. Then another Terrovania, stoic giants Deidra and Naya came from Mel's lips. So there was a type if it hadn't been obvious already. After some gushing there was more where that came from. The tough wolfman Eduardo, crafty Benedict, sly Hassan, the quiet Tahanii, and princely Yuu-Mun. All were nice, although Maequlie was giggling to herself. This'll be a fun show.

Orion blinked, then blinked again. They've been here for like........an hour? Hour and a half? Time seem to be an enigma as she slouched back in her spot on the couch. There was a smile on her face sure but really at this point it was out of bewilderment. How the hell did she not notice Mel was crushing on this many fucking people? And she was still going? It was almost amazing she hadn't been caught yet. She talked about a fox queen from Diasomnia, a flowery wizard from RSA, the less douchey half of a set of twins at Pomefiore, another fox girl, and owl girl and then two fucking demons???? The sea deity listened on baffled over what she was hearing until she heard someone really familiar. Shima and Mika????? Daido's brother and clone???? "You gotta be shitting me....." Orion grumbled before Melanie looked over to them slightly worried. "Is....there something wrong?" she asked but the starry face teen shook her head.

"Nah you're good, it's nothing." Mel watched with a concerned glance as Orion chugged down the last of her cola before getting up to grab another. The table was already covered in soda cans and a large bag of chips as the princess continued with Melody's encouragement. As Orion took another cola out she was listening as Jacob was brought up. Jacob, Jacob............oh yeah that rich nerd's brother. They've gotten into fist fights before, hits like a motherfucker. But as she took a sip she heard a name. MINNIE??????? AND KALA?????? The group looked over to see Orion spit her drink out and look back wide-eyed. "YA MEAN THOSE TWO MONSTERS TRYNA KILL EACH OTHER!!?!?!!?!?!?!?" Melanie looked in shock as Carol rubbed her temple. "We can clean that later...." Orion ignored the mess as she rushed back, climbing over the couch and looked at Melanie dead in the eyes. "Please tell me there's more." she said seriously, leaning forward causing Melanie to shy away not looking them in the eye. "Well......" She then went on to talk about Ajax and Galland the rival dorm leaders of Cybernetta. Those two........well one's nice and she's surprised that Mel's still alive from talking to the other. Then it was.......Roya and Namor. More Gracery folks. "Mel I'm gonna be honest, you're either the bravest or the dumbest bitch I've ever met.....and I'm friends with Melody."

As Melody called out her sister from another mister Keres smiled. They were just as baffled as everyone else. God it was a fucking roller coaster and it's still going. The chip bag was almost empty, there was like two cookie sleeves open and more bottles of water and soda pop. Carol had joined the squad of Nyphy and Reagan in not really paying attention but listening in but everything's fine. Everything is dandy and all is good in the world. Mel continued on and they of course knew people. The little princely Adam from Terrovania, grumpy Midge from Tetravania and the overly cheerful (and slightly feral) Marinus from Octavinelle. But then they perked up at the name Bora. Oh Bobo!! They're buddies with him! He's a great coworker and a super sweet guy!! They leaned in for more info on him and Mel provided but then there was Lee. She's an RSA dorm leader, they didn't know her super well but from when Mel's saying she seemed like a nice lady. Then of course, there was more. A mega grump but sweet dude named Kevin was next and they were interested until.......Florence came up.

A frown came over Keres's face and they barely held back a scoff. "What's wrong?" Melanie asked concerned but Keres shook her head. "Nothing. I just don't like him is all." Granted he was a good guy but him being a nurse gave them the heebie-jeebies. But they let her talk before moving the topic to.....another eyebrow-raiser. Sue.......the trashtalking, rabble rousing "Look at me funny and I'll rip your arm off" dorm leader-ish of Terriauria. Ok.......? They could sorta guess their friend has a thing but even Louise was surprised. He did grimace when Kala and Minnie were mentioned, likely bad experiences. Of course they didn't really wanna push him but Mel did share a look of "we can talk later" with the mouse. But then more drama. Macros..........that kinda sneaky but weirdly charming guy from RSA.......alrighty then. He was......odd, but kinda hot so Keres didn't judge until................"ACHILLES?!?!?!?!!?" Keres screamed, jumping onto their feet. Oh no. No. No no. No no no no no no no no no no no!!! Not that assface!! Melanie squeaked, almost jumping back at Keres. "B- But he....." the perfect tried to calm them down but Keres looked confused, insulted and more or less bewildered. "He's tried to kill me. Multiple times." Mel started sweating until Keres sighed. "You really are a piece of work Mellomar." they said before sitting back down and chugged their soda down.

Kirsten sat there, absorbing the chaos and chatter. Great. Awesome. She now has all the backmail material she could ever hope for. Mel really didn't have to open her mouth but she did and now she has consequences. Kirsten loved her friend, she really did. But man this is the worst thing she could possibly do. She was zoning in and out the whole time. Occasionally piping in with a comment about one of Mel's crush or just getting up to walk around cause holy fucking shit it's been two damn hours and she's still talking about boys. Upon getting back from her fourth walk around she sat back down as Keres lost their shit over Melanie finding the guy who takes skulls as trophies cute. Honestly he was kinda hot but eh whatever. As she grabbed the cookie sleeve, taking a couple out and watching the chaos unfold it slowly winded back down. Mel then stopped looking at her friends worried "Should...I stop talking?" she asked as Carol looked to everyone. "If you want to that's fine." Keres nodded in agreement as Orion got up to stretch but Kirsten looked at Melanie. "That's not everyone right?" The princess gulped, she was caught. "There can't be more......" Nyphy sighed with everyone now glancing over at Mel. "Go on, you dug this grave. You're laying in it." Kirsten was serious as Mel trembled. "O-Ok....."

She went for hopefully the last time. And the first one was already caused an uproar. "Kierron!?!?!?" The group aside from Kirsten shouted. The leader of Kombatra?!?!? The guy who hosts a yearly blood sport?!?!!? Melanie looked away thoroughly embarrassed, she couldn't really explain herself here. But wait! There's more! Some were decent options. Guys like Erza, Brick, Vladimir, Citron, Celadon, Ferdinand, and Michi were respectable. Octavius, Tobias, Misha, Philip, Maurice, Dusk, Midas and Jupiter were all nice guys and Louise was extremely excited hearing Jirou's one of her interests. But then there.......questionable fellows. Folks like Johan, Fraiser, Kakia, Song Fenhua, and Mars. Then Ruben, Derrick, Solomon, A'rachk, Emile, and Lucifer.........not awful but they certainly have issues. Kirsten was enjoying this, partly in a sadistic way seeing Melanie squirm but she couldn't help but sigh. Mel's got a bleeding heart that's for sure, this couldn't get worse. Oh how wrong she was. Candice. Miko. Micah. Arsene. Cervos. The spectral girl watched as one by one the group lost it. Then she slowly rose, walking over to Melanie who squirmed back. "Uuuuuu-" She was then punched straight to the tit. "You're a fucking dumbass."

Johan watched from above, his presence unseen by the girls as Louise ranted and raved and Kirsten just stood there in an angry huff. Melanie, the one who confessed her feelings for him embarrassed and apologizing for wasting her friend's time while nursing herself pained chest. Odd girl. But a charming one at that.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

look I know it’s supposed to be a joke but that “irradiated wasteland” is the unceded homeland of the Paiute and Shoshone peoples and consists of fragile Mojave and Great Basin desert ecosystems that are actively being exploited and destroyed by mining interests who utilize the perception of desert as wasteland to justify their destruction of indigenous lands and communities. the joke's not funny. fuck off with this.

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.
