#MY POOR WALLET ☹️

[berrypiie]

SKZ COMEBACK IN APRIL?? GIRL I STILL NEED THE SOUND ALBUMS 😭😭

[kissitbttr]

i absolutely love u and ur work sm 😖 miggy being drunk but loyal 🥲 like reader is going to take him home after a night out and he’s like “back off i’m taken” or something along those lines ☹️☹️

omg he so would!! i’ll use this one for the married miguel i have going on!

-

it’s good to finally see miguel letting loose for once. her poor baby had been dwelling on work and stress that her heart couldn’t take it anymore. she could see it’s starting to get to him, but miguel being miguel, he always puts on the unbothered facade. unluckily for him, she could see right through her husband

so she proposed that him and the rest of the team to have a night out, miles and gwen are excluded.

miguel despises clubs, they’re pointless and reckless. music’s good. not worth the crowd though.

but since peter, jess, and her teamed up against him, he had no saying in that.

“you need to lay off my man a little, jess. poor baby has been working too hard” she points out, sipping on her lychee martini,

jess cocks an eyebrow. “i tried to! he’s the one who didn’t want to”

“you know how he is, y/n” peter chimes, “he won’t listen to any of us except you”

“yeah” she smiles, staring down at her ring finger. “sounds like him”

“where is he by the way? i need to get home soon. MJ would kick my ass if i’m even 5 minutes late” peter sighs, pulling out his wallet to put some bills,

she stops him with a hand gesture. “don’t. it’s on me.”

“girl, you sure?” jess asks,

“i make as much money as my husband. of course, i’m sure” she laughs, finishing her drink. “you two get home. me and miggy are going home too anyway”

jess fakes a gag. “i still have to get used to you calling him that. gross”

she laughs again, three of them standing up from the table before giving each other a hug, thanking them for coming.

soon as they left, she gathers her things before walking towards the bar where her husband is at. she smiles upon seeing his large back facing her, hunching slightly as he finished up the last drink of his.

it’s so easy to spot him,

“alright big boy, it’s close to one. let’s call it a night, yeah?” she appears by his side, hand on his shoulder,

to her surprise, he shrugs it off making her frown. avoiding her gaze before scooting away,

“miguel wha—“

“back off, i’ve got a wife. and i would appreciate it if you leave”

her heart soars,

the frown turns into a pleased expression, she crosses her arms with a playful smile. “oh really? she pretty?”

“gorgeous” he corrects her. “and the best damn thing i’ve ever had so please” his hand shoo her away. “i’m a man. i don’t cheat”

the heat blossoms in her chest when he does so. a frown forms on his handsome face, showing her that he isn’t playing around,

oh he’s drunk, drunk

“okay well, i happen to know your wife, actually. and i am very sorry but i mean no disrespect, I didn’t know you’re married” she plays along, watching him him but a stoic expression remains on his face,

“want me to get her?”

his face lights up at that, turning around to face her before nodding with a smile,

“yes please! that would be great. i miss her”

she awes at that, who knew her husband could be such a huge softie?

“okay, be right back” she responds before walking away only to reappear back to his left side, fronting a wide grin,

“baby! how you doing?!”

miguel eyes light up once more, mirroring his wife’s smile before his hands reach out to her, arms wide open to invite her to a hug,

“my love! mi corazón ! beautiful beautiful querida! i am so happy you are here!” he sighs dreamily,

she giggles at his cute demeanor, accepting his embrace as he pulls her in, arms wrapped around her waist.

“there was this girl who wanted to take me home and I completely told her off because i said, ‘my wife! is here with me and i would appreciate it if you fuck off!’ “

she holds back a laugh at how silly and sassy he is putting on his scowl expression,

“really? well good riddance! she should’ve known better!” she pulls away and cradle his cheeks in between her hands, feeling him lean against her palm,

he nods, circling his hands around her wrists. “mi corazón te pertenece, ahora y para siempre. got you this far, didn’t i?”

if her heart could burst, it would in that moment. even in his drunken state, he still manages to front a lovesick gaze everytime he looks at her. to speak like a true poet and aim for her heart just like that,

she nods back, pressing a soft kiss on his lips. “yes, baby. yes you did”

I WANT HIM SO BAD YALL I CANT

TBOSAS on Crack short take (36)

Lucky: Welcome back to the Lucky Flickerman show, everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend because I didn’t!😀

Mentors: You don’t say.😒

Lucky: And as you can see, we are joined once again by our beloved Mentors and their illustrious Dean, Mr. Casca Highbottom!

Casca: Where’s the dive bar, Lucky?

Lucky: Ask Jubilee-

Clemensia: Can we skip to the questions already? I need to find food for my Tribute- I mean, cat.

Coryo: Yeah. Same. It’s almost lunch time, and I too need to feed my singing rainbow cat.

Lucky: You have a singing rainbow colored cat?!

Coryo: Yup! My cat is very talented. However, she’s always hungry.

Sejanus: Mine too! But sadly, my cat ignores me.😢

Coryo: I think your cat just hates you, Babe.

Festus: Mine just wants to eat premium tuna. She didn’t even used my cheesecake coupons.☹️

Persephone: At least your cat is normal. Mine is busy being an annoying little gremlin.

Felix: True. But my cat-

Casca: When did all of you get a cat?! And how the f*ck can you afford a cat, Crassus Snow?! You’re broke and poor!

Coryo: Sir, to be fair, you’re the one who assigned us these cats.

Casca: Then why don’t I have one?!

Coryo: Becuase you can’t even take care of yourself-

Casca: How dare you mock me on LIVE TV, Crassus!

Coryo: It’s Coriolanus!

Casca: My Crassus, my love, how dare you!😭

Sejanus: Excuse me?! Coryo is mine! Not yours!

Casca: He was mine first, you boyfriend stealing rebel!

Clemensia: Sir, you can’t say that word-

Casca: Rebel!

Vipsania: *gasps* He said it again!

Lucky: Please settle down.😞

Casca: Never-

Felix: Sir, I’ll call the President on you if you don’t sit down right now.

Casca: Ughhh! Fine! You win today, Plinth!

Sejanus: I always win.

Coryo: Thanks, Babe.

Sejanus: Anything for you, my love, my Snow Angel, my-

Lucky: Felix! Our dearest Felix, I have an important question just for you.

Felix: Ask away?

Lucky: How did your granduncle react when your class performed a banned song in front of your Tributes, and on LIVE TV?

Felix: Not gonna lie, he was pretty impressed.

Androcles: Pretty impressed?! He freaking doubled your allowance, Class Pres!

Dennis: See! I wasn’t wrong. I knew singing a Cascada song would someday make us famous!

Androcles: True. I don’t even need to steal the President’s wallet again-

Coryo: Next question please.

Lucky: Ok. Sejanus! Sejanus Plinth, are you selling your pie recipes by any chance?

Sejanus: Sadly, I can’t. My Ma would cry me a river if I did.

Lucky: That’s too bad.☹️

Sejanus: But if you really want something worthwhile to share, I have these cute exclusive photos of my boyfriend sleeping!

Coryo: What?! Where did you even get those?!

Hilarius: I sold them to Plinth for a very good price. Besides, isn’t it better for Sejanus to have them?

Coryo: Why?!

Hilarius: Well, it’s either your boyfriend or my very creepy father drooling all over them-

Coryo: What the heck, Heavensbee!

Casca: Can I have one?

Lysistrata: Next question please!

Lucky: Fine. This next question is for all of you-

Livia: Just spit it out, Weather Boy!🙄💅

Lucky: Oh, here’s a good one! What are your biggest fears?😀

Livia: That’s so easy. Banning the color pink forever will give me an instant heart attack.

Lucky: That’s it?

Livia: And also becoming poor and broke as Snow.

Coryo: I heard that!

Felix: To be honest, I would rather be poor than attend another ✨Ravinstill Family Reunion✨.

Lucky: Really?! But your family reunions are always the talk of the city-

Felix: No offense to my family, but every time we meet, somebody always ends up dead for no reason at all.

Lucky: Dead?!

Felix: Yup. Last year, I even attended four separate funerals as a stand in for my crazy granduncle.

Sejanus: Wow. That’s kinda harsh, Class Pres. Mine’s just having to breakup with my gorgeous boyfriend because of Dean Highbottom.

Coryo: Yeah. And mine’s just dying from starvation.

Felix: And don’t forget the fear of being surrounded by weird annoying birds.

Coryo: That too.

Androcles: Right. Well, my biggest fear is just having to give up everything I stole from the authorities. Like this expensive wristwatch I stole from the President last week.

Festus: Not gonna lie, becoming an Avox is my biggest fear. How can I live without tasting anything ever again?!

Dennis: Closing the Capitol Black Market is my only fear, but don’t ask why.

Lysistrata: Getting myself banned from my own family’s pharmacy gives me chills.

Florus: Outdoor camping alone will give me irreversible trauma.

Palmyra: Forever banning me from cooking and baking will give me severe aneurysm.

Persephone: Being forced to eat another human- Nevermind. You don’t really want to know.

Vipsania: Banning me from the gym.

Urban: Failing my calculus class.

Io: Accidentally creating a nuclear bomb in my bathroom.

Juno: Being disowned by my esteemed family for spilling tea.

Gaius: Losing a limb, I guess?

Iphigenia: Getting arrested by my own father for illegally giving away food for the needy.

Domitia: Selling my favorite cow to save my family’s baby duck farm.

Arachne: Seeing Festus Creed getting crowned as the official ✨Sandwich Queen of Panem✨.

Apollo: Having to face and fight my paralysis demon every night.

Diana: Accidentally burning my expensive Care Bear collection.

Pup: Working in the military, without sleep, and under my father’s command.

Clemensia: Losing my special title as the only “normal” student of this class.

Hilarius: Ending up like my creepy father and receiving countless restraining orders from Coryo, Felix, and the government until my last breath.

Lucky:. . .

Audience:. . .

Felix: What the heck, Hilari!

Casca: We don’t really need to hear that again, Mr. Heavensbee. And as for the rest of you, you’ll be receiving one demerit from me.☺️

Festus: Why?! We didn’t even-

Casca: Because I can and I will!😠

[tabithacarlisle]

Ok so in conclusion: this 20 diamond scene was definitely a let down at first. I’ve played it again after the initial bummer and it’s actually well written and pretty long & involved for not going for the full shebang. Those of us romancing Beckett really have (*unfairly? whatever I’ve moved on, done with being made to feel bad for my LIs when I’m not a writer for Pixelberry. Beckett-bashing is so tired*) gotten nice character development arc of an imperfect person who has shut himself off from others as a coping mechanism. MC & Pendpals, esp. MC have through reaching out to him made him want to make real connections with others for the first time in his life and that new experience clouded his judgement and caused him to take the risky step of opening the mirror wards because he wanted to help protect us! I mean, if that isn’t touching and vulnerable as all hell, I don’t know what else...

You get to choose if you want to romance Beckett or not (and if you don’t, I envy your full wallet! ;) but there’s a plot point of how this poor flawed nerd finally developed good intentions yet accidentally allowed the third shadow monster through the wards because of MC and I admire and appreciate that. I do feel sorry for those who didn’t get these scenes with Beckett to be able to fully understand what that means (and how Beckett’s arc was used as a plot device to create conflict in the story, an essential part to any good book) because they are romancing other LIs. There may have been a better way to involve the other LIs more often but taking out the conflict would make the story poorer.

So I’m still slightly frosty about us not all getting “#birthdaysex” (☹️) for 30💎 this chapter but I understand why they wanted to flesh out the arc more. Also there’d better damn well be a 30 💎 scene for all of the LIs before this book ends 🤞;)
