Im like so t4t physical attraction wise but in a really niche kind of way I feel honestly ashamed sometimes, a lot of the time I keep it to myself especially because this a)can make people incredibly dysphoric and b) isn't even the case for everybody anyways. But like. My thighs filling out jeans a little better and my hip bones being wide and my waist being tiny and it's not the kind of thing you'd notice on me clothed unless I was showing it on purpose or you were looking. Think about me when I wasn't a guy it's ok if you think it's hot. It's not emasculating and it's not degrading, in no way does it feel like it invalidates or calls into question anyones gender and when it does it's very much mutually enjoyed play, it's like, I like these softer parts of your body and I like how they've changed and I really really really like your junk
Mixed secondary characteristics. The way t changes u. Doing shots and being weird about it

I shifted my hips from side to side humming along with the tune coming from my record player speaker, My hands in the hot water washing up the dishes and pots from dinner. I jumped as I heard my phone begin its blaring. So I left the last pot to soak trying off my hands on my apron as I scampered my shoes across the floor of my little townhouse I quickly turned down the volume on my record player as I passed the shelf, I lost my footing a little on the rug's stupid curled corner and went tumbling onto my sofa on my back, luckily just beside my phone table so I picked up the red rotary phone from the table bringing it to my ear. 
"Y/l/n Residence." I smiled 
"Hi y/n" Beth smiled 
"Ohh, My my to what do I owe the pleasure, Miss Harmon?" 
"Oh you know, nothing unusual. How's queens?" 
"Boring. But finally unpacked my last few boxes so shaping up nicely. How's kentuky?" 
"Much the same" she smiled "So, I had a question."
"ahh there is the point of your call, of course, ask away"
"You've been to Moscow correct?" 
"Yes, I have. I assume there is a follow-up question."
"Yeah, I'm doing a bit of packing. I know everyone says Moscow is cold but... exactly how cold?"
 "When they say cold they mean cold beth. It's freezing in Moscow. The snow came up to my knees. I was so cold I ripped stuffing out of the hotel pillow to shove in my bra because I was convinced my nipples would freeze off. and that's coming from a New York girl" I laughed "Pack for ice. Pack for snow. Pack for seeing your breath inside buildings." 
"Really?"
"If you're too hot you can always take layers off," I explained 
"Fair enough,"
"That all?"
"I had something else to ask too"
"Sure, fire away." 
"Did you... Like to fuck Benny?"
"That's a bold question for six pm" 
"But did you, when you two were... together?"
I laughed "My darling Elizabeth. Me and Benny never have been... together. Not officially anyway."
"But when you did. Did you like to?"
"Sometimes."
"Sometimes?"
"You can say every time you've had sex you liked it? sometimes stuff's just shit"
"But other than those times"
"I did. Course I did. Benny... is a complicated man"
"How so?"
"Because he's Benny" I laugh "He's weird, he thinks fifteen steps ahead at any one moment, he's passionate and dedicated with an ego big enough to fly himself to Moscow and back, but he's also... you know a man. so he's blunt and simple, and can't see a hint five inches in front of his face." I explained, "Why?" 
"I think. it might be over."
"Over? Did it ever begin?"
"I mean... kinda. sort of. It's complicated."
"Beth. What happened?"
"So you know how Benny's been bugging me to come to New York"
"Yes. Because he misses you. That's his way of saying that." 
"Yeah he even told me"
"He told you he missed you?"
"Yes"
"And you did what?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing!"
"Yeah I mean we called a little more but not much else. and I kinda... pissed him off"
"What did you do?"
"I gave the church the money back. I tried to ask him for money. if he wants to come he can help me pay for it right? he flipped out and told me not to call him again. That was... two days ago and he won't answer the phone. Guess I'm just kinda..."
"You're serious?" I sighed 
"Yeah."
"Okay... I have not got time to deal with you" I sighed sitting up normally "All I'm gonna say is you've fucked up Beth. And I am going to clean this up, not because I want to help you. But because I care too much about Benny. I will call you later and we will have a chat" I told her before hanging up the phone 
"Fuck..." I sighed "Harmon, you do make my life difficult" I grabbed the phone again and dialled the number for the Brooklyn basement listening to it ring but no answer, I tried again but still no answer, I gave it one more try but still no answer. 
I gave up setting the phone back on the receiver and I got to my feet untieing my apron throwing it on the kitchen table grabbing my handbag making sure to grab my spare key. changing my shoes and slipping on my gloves before rushing out locking up my front door as I scampered down the steps of the stoop I unlocked the door on my little red mini threw my bag on the passenger seat quickly started the car up and scampered through the New York streets using all the little cut thoughts I knew to travel the six miles from my townhouse in queens to the basement in Brooklyn. I pulled my mini up behind the little blue Beatle parked and grabbed my bag climbing out of the car and heading down the little foul-smelling stairwells until I finally reached the metal door giving it a firm few taps. No answer came. but I could hear noises from within. I knocked much louder but still no answer came.
I rolled my eyes grabbed the spare key from my handbag forced it into the lock and opened the door shutting it behind me immediately I could tell things weren't good.
This apartment was dark, gloomy and damp as usual, bottles littered his table enough you could use them as pieces in a chess game, and things haphazardly moved around the apartment. And Benny amongst it all. Barefoot. Black jeans tight to his body, his belt gone, his black turtleneck on with his sleeves rolled up, frustration across his face, a beer in hand that he finished and there across his apartment smashing it on the wall. 
“Benny?” 
He ran a hand through his hair and glanced up at me “Hey y/n.”
“How are you feeling?” 
“I'm fine” he snapped grabbing a cigarette from his table setting it in his mouth and lighting it up with his old Zippo 
“Benny.” I glared
“I'm fine.” He snapped 
“Beth called me.”
“Did she now? You come down to tell me I'm an asshole”
“I don't make judgements till I hear both sides” I answered “So, tell me what happened.”
“So it fucking -”
“Calmly.” 
“It's over. I'm done with her. I have put up with so much shit from her. She treats me like a doormat, and only calls me when she needs something. Well she can go fuck herself” he says pacing around his apartment
“Okay, what exactly happened?”
“She gave the money back. Asked me to pay for us. She ignored everything I told her. All because she didn't want to sign some worthless bit of paper. Now I can't go to Moscow with her. Fine, she clearly didn't want me with her anyway.”
“Alright, and you told her?”
“I told her not to call me again. She wants to do this on her own fine. She can. She won't hear a word from me, but she can fuck off if she wants anything.” 
“You've been ignoring calls?”
“I didn't exactly feel like talking right now” 
“Alright, go get changed and I'll make you some tea”
“I don't -”
“Benny. Don't make me bonk you with a spoon” 
“Fine I will get changed” he sighed going to his room “and make coffee.”
“No tea. Coffee will keep you up and you do not need more energy right now” I explained going and making some nice tea one for me and one for Benny taking and sitting them both on the small table in the centre of the living space, as well as a glass of water I took a small dustpan and brush from the cabinet and cleaned up the broken glass from the bottle as well as any other little mess that littered the apartment. I went to the small record player beside the chair and for a moment flipped through his small collection grabbing a nice album of some gentle swing music adding it to the player letting it spin and turning it down to almost nothing, and I took a seat on the pile of pillows he used as a sofa. Soon enough he returned with a fresh set of clothes, some new jeans, a black T-shirt and his green button-down 
“There you feel a little better now?”
“It is nice to have some fresh clothes on” he grunted back 
“Come on” I offered patting the pillow beside me
“I'm not in the mood y/n”
“Benny. Come here.”
He rolled his eyes but came and sat beside me still as angry and frustrated as before leaning his head against the exposed bricks 
“Good, now when did you last drink something?”
“I'm not thirsty”
“Did I ask that?”
“No”
“When did you last drink something? You're only going to give yourself a headache” I told him, offering him the water but he turned away “Hydrate. Or I will hit you with a spoon”
He took the glass and had a sizable sip 
“Thank you, now come here and talk it out” 
“Y/n I know you mean well but I’m-”
“I will get the spoon in a minute.” I warn “Come” I demanded patting my thigh
He rolled his eyes but leant over so I wrapped my arms around him letting him lay his head in my lap “I don't see how this is going to help”
“You need to acknowledge and work through your feelings”
“I don't have feelings. I'm a man.”
“Ohh no you don't have feelings. That's why you've been spending your days in a dark basement drinking like a fish and frustrated smoking. No feelings at all” I smiled gently petting his soft fluffy hair 
“I don't need to work through my feelings.”
“Yes, you do. Otherwise, you're just going to be angry forever. And god knows I can't deal with that” I laughed
“Fine” he sighed 
“Take a moment just to clear the brain” I smiled playing with his hair in all the usual spots he liked me too
“My brain doesn’t clear.”
“Then hyperfocus. On the ticking of the clock, the nice gentle music, clear the mind of all other things and just exist for a moment”
We sat for a few moments just enjoying the quiet of his basement, the gentle hum of the music and the rhythm of our breaths
“Okay” He nods sounding far calmer than before
“That help?”
“A little”
“Okay do a Big breath in.”
“Why do I-”
“Benny” I warned so he did as I asked “Big breath in. And back out. Another one in… and another out. Okay? Feel a little better?” I smiled walking him through it a few times
“A bit” 
“Are you calmer?”
“Somewhat”
“So, tell me what happened”
“You going to tell me when I’m wrong?”
“No. I'm not going to say anything you just explain and I will listen.” 
“I try asking her for months to come up to New York, actually spend some time together, no she's busy she needs to do this, she needs to do that, she ghosts me for six months, okay I try asking to go to Paris with her support her with the tournament, no she's going on her own, she can't afford to take me too, so fine she goes on her own only when she's fucked herself up so bad she looses her tournament and has headlines everywhere she was drunk as a sailor then! I got a call. I try to be supportive and offer to pick her up from the airport. No, she wants to be alone. I try to talk her through everything and offer her a safe space, so we can be together and work stuff out, no she wants to be alone. She wants to drink. Fine, I try! I try and say she can drink so long as she came here no she wants to go and get drunk. She goes home to Kentucky and ghosts me again. She calls me finally because she wants my advice and again I try to get her to come here, I try and be nice hell I told her I fucking missed her nope she wants to stay on her own meaning she wants to fucking drink. And again I'm ghosted. She completely ignores what I tell her to do. She gives the church their money and calls me up like I'm the problem! Like I haven't spent the last year waiting for your phone calls like some abandoned puppy! Says she's paying her own way to Moscow and can't afford to take me with her, if I wanna come I need to pay, when she knows full well I don't have two thousand dollars laying around to jet off to Moscow. Accused me of gambling it all away. So fuck it. Fuck her. She wants to go and her drunk and fuck her life up that's her decision she's not taking me down with her. I'm not staying as her fucking doormat fuck to treat her how she wants. If she'd rather get drunk than be with me fine I hope she and her bottle are happy” 
“How did that make you feel?”
“Like shit.”
“Benny, feelings are not shit. use your words. Not just your swears.”
“Like… why should I bother you know? Like I'm trying so so much and you're giving absolutely nothing back. And that makes me feel like I'm the asshole for wanting anything”
“You're not an asshole for wanting acknowledgement Benny. You've done a lot for Beth and it's not easy for you to be emotionally numerable”
“Exactly! It's like you bare your fucking soul to someone and their response is okay cool. What else? Like I don't know what more you want from me. Am I being a dick? Asking for too much or something?”
“I don't think so, I do think you also need to respect Beth is also not an emotional person. The two of you aren't going to have a great emotional conversation because neither of you are good emotional communicators and that's fine some people aren't, but it would seem you are putting a lot of effort in, now Beth may not see it as a lot of effort in her mind and may not be seeing how much effort that Is for you and not appreciate it as much or it could be that she just expects more. and if you can't give her that then you can't there's nothing wrong with that Benny” 
“Do you think I'm an emotionally distant person?”
“You can be. You're… very practical Benny. You're emotional to the extent of practically, when emotions aren't useful you don't bother to express them. But I do think you not in the wrong here you've made a lot of moves to be more outwardly expressive and it was clear you were upset long before this” I explained “I think, and of course, you don't need to take my advice. But I think you and Beth need time apart I think you both need to not see one another, not speak to one another, for a couple of weeks I think you both need to separately decide the kind of relationship you want together. If you want to have the kind of relationship where you call every other day and talk or if you want a relationship where you talk every six months how much emotional investment you each have needs to be equal and it clearly isn't so I think spend time apart to think and when she gets back from Moscow you two need to talk and see where you go from here.”
“... Your right.” He sighed sitting up “Where did you learn all this stuff anyway?” He asks having some tea 
“Therapy. You know that thing I keep telling you to go to”
“I don't need therapy”
“Everyone needs therapy, Benny.”
“I don’t” 
“Yes, you do.” I told him “You have a lot of untapped emotional issues rattling around in that big head of yours” I told him having some tea “And I’m boarder line convinced you have… some type of-”
“No I don’t” he snapped
“Benny you hyperfocus on chess, don’t understand your own emotions, freak out when someone tries to touch your skin, and use your rings like fidget toys… and you don’t think there might be a possibility you could have some form of -”
“No.” 
“Fine, fine. I’m not going to argue with you” I giggled “You should go to therapy though Benny.”
“Ohh what because I have ‘emotional trauma’?”
“Yes. you do.” I told him “Even if it's just having someone to talk to, to rant about your problems”
“That's why I have you” 
“I'm not your therapist Benny”
“Sorry”
“It's fine” I smiled pressing a kiss to the top of his head “You really liked her didn't you?”
“I did. I kinda thought we were the same. Maybe we're too much alike”
“Do you think maybe… you're seeing the bad things in Beth that you see in yourself?”
“Kinda. I think it's … made me realize how bad it is to be on that side of it. To be the one waiting by the phone on the promise of a call that never comes. I think I'm .. trying though. I can see how bad it is and in trying to fix it but just feels like bailing a bucket out a lake” 
“Well, baby steps. Just the fact you see it and are making steps is still better. You're never going to bail the lake if you don't start with a bucket”
“I guess so. It makes me wonder… how she sees me. I know officially we didn't label anything but, I kinda think she just saw me as a chessboard that could make her cum” 
“What did you want her to be?”
“....I don't know. Guess I wanted someone to call. Someone to spend time with. Someone who wants to talk to me. Listens to me. Makes me feel like what I say makes a difference. Like I Matter to them. Someone who gets excited about spending time with me, who wants to be with me not because we might play chess or we might have sex but just because we like being together”
“You ever tell her that?”
“No.”
“Then … you can't expect her to give you that Benny. She's not a mind reader. She doesn't know that's what you want same as you don't know what she wants. You two are both people not great at emotions be the best course is to straight forward sit her down and say that's what you want and if that's not what she wants you can either try to find a middle ground or that can be it”
“Your right. But I don't want to see her. Or talk to her. I don't completely want to think about her but there's no getting out of that” he explained lighting another cigarette “But I'm done. Unless she's willing to try I don't want anything more than to be her friend”
“If that's what you want. That's what you want” I smiled taking the cigarette from him putting it out in the table’s ashtray “You’re not smoking because you want it you smoking because your frustrated.” I laughed
“Your therapist tell you that too?”
“No. I just know you, Benny. Besides you’ve been doing really good. Don’t destroy all your progress just because you’re mad” I told him 
“You rather I drink?”
“I’d rather you have healthy coping mechanisms but you know… baby steps.” I smiled “You feel a bit better? Got all that off your chest?”
“Yeah. Thanks y/n.”
“Your welcome” I smirked having some tea “It's kinda funny”
“What is?”
“That's exactly what I wanted. Back when we …”
“Really?” He asks 
“Yeah. I'd have killed for you to want to spend time with me without it seeming like I was dragging you away from something you wanted to do more”
“.... Fuck. I was a dick.”
“You kinda were.” I laughed “But we wanted different things that's okay”
“I feel like shit. Maybe things would be different if I figured out this is what I wanted”
“Maybe” I shrug “But you didn’t want that then that’s fine you can change your mind as life changes, that wasn’t the sort of thing you wanted then”
“You’re a very emotional person. I think I struggled with that”
“I can be… overly emotional. In working on it. Trying not to overthink everything so much.” I said “How do you think it felt for me sitting here miles deep in overthinking as to why you weren’t talking to me, that you were mad, that I did something wrong, all the while you just sat there playing chess completely unaware I was even upset being quiet because… you like to sit quietly.”
“I saw you were upset… when it was too late. By the time I picked up on it you crying so far down an emotional rabbit hole even if I did know How to deal with it, it was kinda too late”
“And yes that is on you for not noticing my emotions but also on me for not being clearer with them, literally could have fixed all my overthinking with, Benny are you mad at me? But no I wanted to sit there pouting getting more and more anxious waiting for you to figure out that I was worried.” 
“I always felt like a dick for asking you what was wrong,”
“Because I wanted you to pick up on it. I didn’t want to tell you I just wanted you to pick up and fix it. And that's on me. That was my issue and I’m getting better. Can’t expect people to know everything. But you're getting better too, learning when people are upset being more outwardly emotional if you need a little coaxing.”
“Or threatening” 
“Everyone is different Benny. The sooner you realize that the easier life is. Everyone you speak to, and everyone you see is completely different we all think differently, behave differently, and have different responses to things, and no one can read minds. We all need to give each other a little more slack because we don't know what's going on in their head and they'll never know what's happening in ours. Some people can read emotions across your face like a book, some people need to be told or they'll never learn. I was an emotionally overthinking young woman craving emotional intimacy without having to ask for it. While being in a non-official relationship with a man who can't read emotions, has a hard time expressing his feelings and craves reassurance. On top of the very basic one, what's to fuck one wants to love problem. You surprised it went south?” 
“I crave reassurance?”
“Benny. You're a chess player who dresses like a goth pirate.”
“Point taken” 
“It's fine people grow and change neither of us are the people we were then”
“That's true” he nods “Can I get the number for your therapist?”
“Why?”
“He sounds good. The fact you rattled all that off is pretty impressive”
“Find your own therapist. Don't want conflicts of interest”
For a moment he was puzzled “You talk about me in therapy?”
“Yeah”
“God was I that much of a cunt?”
“No. You’re my friend. Our lives are very intertwined is all” I laughed leaning on his shoulder 
“that’s fair” he laughed “... Do you think I ask for too much? With Beth?”
“I think… you ask for more than she's comfortable with. Let's face it Benny your fighting against an addiction. You might have an ego and you might love chess but you're not physically addicted to it” 
“I just feel like in trying so hard, pushing myself so far beyond what I'd normally be comfortable with the least she can do is try”
“if that's how you feel. Then I think she should respond to that”
“I'm not a dick?”
“I don't think so” I smiled
“Thanks y/n. I'm really thankful you came over”
“Well I can't just leave you someone has to try and get you through these gross… feelings you're not used to”
“Can you stay?”
“What?”
“Can you stay? I don't think I wanna be on my own tonight”
“Of course Benny”
We stayed up a little long chatting about things but soon it came time for bed he put up the air bed for himself and I took his bed even if I argued but he let me have it. 
I changed borrowing one of his shirts for the night getting cosy in the warm bed. 
The lights out the only sound the occasional sound of the New York cars above the basement. 
I was about to drift off when I perked up hearing the creek of the door and soon enough the covers moved and Benny crawled in with me 
“Hi”
“Hi”
“Did you want your own bed back?”
“No, I just… I don't wanna be alone right now” he says slowly wrapping his arms around me and pulling me tight to his body my hips to his my back to his chest squeezing me almost like I was his teddy bear 
“Okay Benny, you don't need to worry I'll be right here,” I reassured letting him squeeze me tightly to his body, he held me tight pressing his lips to my shoulder 
“Can I get my anger out?” He asked 
“Alright” I nodded 
He moved and pushed me down on my back “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure,” I nodded 
He nodded and leant down to nibble and kiss my neck, before he pulled down his boxers and tugged off my panties, he started off gently slipping himself inside me he held my hips firmly digging his nails into my skin as he aggressively thrusted, often bitting his lips and gritting his teeth letting out his frustration and anger though the movement of his hips. He began to slow so I smiled and held his hips gently turning us so he laid on his back and I sat on top of him gently moving my hips slowly “Reveling in your anger is not going to make you feel better” I smiled stroking his stomach as I moved 
“I know. I just wanted to get the anger out” he sighed moving his hips with me 
“Wouldn’t this be nicer?”
“It is much nicer.” he smiled “Nice and calming” He cooed sitting up a little and wrapping his arms around me to pull me into his chest for an intense kiss I smiled into the kiss as I moved my hips faster trying to match his own speed getting more and more intense the longer it went on I knew I was close starting to nibble on his neck as I began to slow getting close to my edge he noticed and smirked making sure to work as hard as he could letting out the last of his frustration until I reached my peak biting his neck as I did which in turn got him to his own edge burying himself deep inside me and riding it out before he collapsed against the bed and I basically fell off onto the other side 
“Feel better now Benny?”
“Yeah” he nods between gasps “That is way better than therapy” 
“They're not mutually exclusive Benny.”
“I still think this is better”
“You can’t just ignore your feelings and deal with your frustrations through sex” I told him
He smirked and turned over to spoon me “Did it work?” 
“...yes but?”
“Did it work?”
“Yes.”
“Then I'm gonna do it” he shrugs 
“Alright Benny, if that’s how you wanna deal with your feelings” I laughed “Come on, let's get some sleep”
“Alright, Night”
“Night” I smiled giving him a little kiss before we cuddled up and drifted off to sleep. 
I yawned as I woke up I gently pushed Benny’s arms off me climbed out the bed and headed across the apartment, I went to the kitchen and began to make coffee humming to myself a little. 
“Morning,” Benny spoke up from the bedroom door
“Morning, How are you feeling today?”
“Better. Much better” he smiled coming and wrapping his arms around me giving my neck some kisses “You always make me feel better”
“I do?”
“You do. I’m sorry”
“For what?”
“For being a dick, when we…” he began “I realize it and I’m sorry”
“That's very sweet. Apology accepted. I’m sorry for how I was too”
“Apology accepted” he smiled 
“I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with the shit from Beth”
“It’s fine. I know how to deal with it”
“Oh?”
“She can find another doormat. She wants to drink and wants to go on her own she can. I don’t want that. We can be friends if she wants but nothing more than that. I don’t feel like I want anything more”
“Okay. I’m proud of you, for expressing your feelings” I smiled
“Did you wanna stay for a while? Spend some time together?”
“Is that also part of you dealing with this?” I giggled turning to face him
“Kinda. But Now I know what you wanted. And I want that too. Maybe now we're a little older we’ll be better, more communicative, better with our feelings. So? Did you wanna try again?”
“On one condition.”
“Oh?”
“Go to therapy, Benny.” 
“Do I have to?”
“Yes.”
“How much therapy?”
“How about one session, one date.”
“Three dates one session”
“Two.” “Deal” he smiled pulling me into a sweet kiss “Will you help me find one?”
“Yes, I will.” I giggled “Come on we’ll have coffee and a cuddle”
“Sounds perfect”

heyyyyy i was wondering if you could make a johnnie angst fic where he forgets your bday🫶🏼
you forgot my birthday.
pairing: johnnie guilbert x reader
summary: same as request with some bestie!jake moments
cw: angst, hurt no comfort, language
word count: 1.2k + edited
---
12:00 am. A text from Jake immediately lights up your screen:
jakey: HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/N!!!! i hope you have the best day ever! im so glad ur dating my bsf so WE could become bsfs!! ilysm go slay queen 💅
You smile and type out a response:
y/n: THANK U SO MUCH JAKE I <3 U!!!!! 
You put your phone on do not disturb for the night and roll over in bed, Johnnie hadn’t texted you for your birthday yet, but that was to be expected. He was a slow texter as it is, but he was usually busy streaming or playing music at this time anyway. There was still plenty of time for him to reach out.
10:36 am. You wake up and immediately check your texts. You’d received birthday messages from Carrington, Tara, your friends from home, been tagged in hundreds of posts on tiktok and instagram, even Matt texted you (and you’d only met him once!). But nothing from Johnnie. That’s okay. He was probably still asleep. Nothing to be worried about. 
1:48 pm. Nothing. What the fuck? All you wanted for your birthday was to spend a quiet day with your boyfriend. Unlike the other friends you’d made since moving to LA, you were less likely to choose partying over spending quality time with your loved ones. Not that there was anything wrong with partying, you just happened to be more reserved. Johnnie was more quiet and anxious as well, it was something that drew you to him in the first place. You always had someone to ditch social events with. You’d figured by this point he would have texted or called and wished you a happy birthday, then you’d hang out, watch a couple movies, order food in, birthday sex– the whole nine. But no. He'd said not a single word. You tried not to bring up your birthday often in the weeks leading up to it, so as to not annoy anyone, but you know for sure you’d mentioned your birth date at least twice since you’d been dating. He had zero excuse not to know. All the other important people in your life seemed to remember, so where was he?
5:24 pm. Nothing. 
7:58 pm. Nothing. You decide to call Jake and see if he has any insight into the situation. He picks up on the second ring.
“What’s up, birthday girl?” He asks sweetly. 
“Johnnie still hasn’t told me happy birthday. I think he forgot,” you say. Speaking the words out loud suddenly makes the situation feel way more real, and you feel a familiar lump forming in your throat.
“There’s no way. He couldn’t have. He’s been out all day, I haven’t really seen him. I think he’s doing a shoot for his next music video or something. So maybe he’ll text you when he’s done? I’m sorry, y/n, I wish I could help. If you need to be with someone, you know I’m always here.”
“Thanks, Jake, you’re a great friend. Love you.”
“Love you too, I’ll text you when he gets back.”
“Thanks. And Jake… don’t remind him when he gets back. It won’t be real unless he does it himself.” 
10:15 pm. Nothing. 
12:00 am. You type out a text to Johnnie:
y/n: you forgot my birthday
johnnie <3: It’s literally next month isn’t it?
johnnie <3: Y/n…plz tell me its next month 
y/n: i think i know my own birthday
johnnie <3: No no no no no
johnnie <3: Y/n im so sorry
johnnie <3: I know how u wanted to spend all day together on your birthday. I'm such an idiot. I promise it was an honest mistake. I really thought it was next month.
You don’t answer. At 12:43 am, you hear a knock at your door. He was the last person you wanted to see right now, but you knew he wouldn’t leave until you answered, so you reluctantly opened the door.
“Johnnie, I don’t want to see you–”
“Y/n, please. Please listen to me. I’m so so so sorry. I was busy with music video stuff and I spaced. I wasn’t on my phone all day so I swear, I didn’t see anyone’s birthday posts or anything until after you texted. You can ask Jake and Carrington, they were texting me all day and I never answered.”
“I believe you, Johnnie. And I get being busy, but… it’s just like… how do you forget your own girlfriend’s birthday? Do you know how embarrassing it is? To have all my friends, fans, and even acquaintances wish me a happy birthday, but the one person I really want to hear from doesn’t? It sucks. I felt like shit all day.” 
“I know. And being busy isn’t an excuse. There isn’t an excuse. I don’t know what else to say other than I’m so fucking sorry. If I could take it all back I would. I love you so much, y/n. I- I’m so fucking sorry,” Johnnie pleads, and his eyes start to well. 
You start to tear up as well, but you don’t want him to see you cry, don’t want to make him feel worse. You’re not angry with him, and you obviously still love him, you’re just sad. You can tell he means what he’s saying, it was definitely an honest mistake, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re hurt, and embarrassed, and had the worst birthday ever. 
“I know you are. And I love you, too. I just… I think I need some space for tonight. I’m sorry, Johnnie,” you say.
“Don’t apologize, baby. I’ll call you in the morning. I love you.” He gives you a quick kiss on the cheek and turns to leave. 
You close the door behind him and sink to the floor. You pull your knees to your chest and bury your face in them, finally letting out your soft sobs after holding back tears all day. You pull your phone out of your back pocket and tap the call button under Jake’s name. 
“What’s wrong?” He asks immediately, knowing you’d never call this late unless there was an emergency.
“I need you,” you say, choking on your words between tears. 
“I’m coming over.” He hangs up.
—
Fifteen minutes later, he’s at your apartment. You’re sitting on the couch together, with you leaning your head against his shoulder and crying softly as he rubs your back.
“I saw Johnnie on my way out… he didn’t look so hot. I’m assuming this is about him?”
You sniffle, “He forgot. I can’t believe he really forgot. Sorry I'm crying, this is so stupid, I’m just… really fucking sad about it. I know he didn’t mean to, and he’s super sorry and stuff but–”
“Y/n, you don’t have to explain yourself to me. Your emotions are completely valid. He’s your boyfriend, of course you’re gonna be upset that he forgot your birthday! It doesn’t mean he’s a bad person, we still love Johnnie! But… he made a mistake and unfortunately it made you sad.” 
“I knew you’d understand,” you give him a weak smile, and he wraps his arm around your waist and pulls you into a tight side hug, resting his head on top of yours. 
“Of course. I’m here for you, y/n. Always.”
---
first hurt/no comfort fic in the books! (i'm sad)

let's get positive ! (⁠ʃ⁠ƪ⁠^⁠3⁠^⁠)
(the content below the cut contains mentions of sensitive topics such as implied su*cide & sh so pls scroll if you're uncomfortable w those !)
this is a long rant about life basically .. 💩💩
Tumblr media
i was going to make a post like this sometime later anyways bc i felt .. like a nice person ... but i made it a bit earlier than i expected bc i saw a post from oomf that really made me think .. so here u go
this comes from my own PERSONAL experiences and this is js my point of view yk !!! im no expert on any topic HSHSJ this is js the way i cope plz dont come for me in my asks ... i am aware that it isn't the same for everyone but , i hope this message can be helpful to some extent </3
if you feel like like life is leading nowhere n you feel like giving up I PROMISE it will get better bc i felt the same for two whole years n i will say that i have improved a LOT since . yes , it took me longer than i expected but i didn't give up and you shouldn't either ! it was hard n there were times i felt like i wasn't making any progress / improvement but in the end , it still got better
be kinder (to yourself, first) ☆
i think the first step to loving yourself is to forgive yourself .. its okay to try over n over again , you're still human n i think ppl tend to forget that often bc they're so tough on theirselves . let's not forget that your body is actively trying it's best to keep u alive , your WBCs for example ! (let's appreciate these little guys for trying their best 🎉🎉) your body too , deserves to be loved back , for fighting so hard just for YOU! so pls don't hurt yourself in any way </3
appreciate yourself for achieving even the smallest of tasks because even if it wasn't something big , YOU DID IT ANYWAYS ! every small achievement of yours deserves to be appreciated . even if it's momentary happiness , appreciate yourself while it lasts . i understand that sometimes even small things could be such a hassle but you can always reward yourself later ! i personally like to buy donuts everytime i finish something (this could come in handy when you're really craving something if you get what im saying ..)
It's okay if you're going at a slower pace than other people , what matters in the end is that you get it done ! everyone is not the same so it's unfair to put yourself down for such things .. also applies to comparing yourself to someone because in the end you'll still be you .. even if you don't like it .. that makes you unique ofcourse , there's only one of you in this world so embrace yourself for that !! you're one of a kind (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)
oh, but, life's the same, it's boring ... ☆
yes , a lot of days could end up being the exact same because like , there are 365 days in a year so you can except most of them to be similar .. but as a new year starts , ofc many things change without you even noticing it , you grow older ofcourse , and you could be starting a new year in school , you meet new people and so on ! if you compare your life from a year ago or even a few months ago to now , you'll surely notice a few differences atleast so .. life is not reaaaaally the same right .... everyday is a new experience ! literally anything and i mean anything could happen the next day , you could even win the lottery who knows 🤫
when i felt like everyday was the same , i tried changing my patterns .. (my current favourite thing to do is go on a walk ! sometimes i take my dog w me , it's super fun) i would do small things that i dont usually do like sketch ! or i attempt cooking something new .. but obviously there were a LOT of days where i did nothing , sometimes even weeks , and that's okay ! we all deserve days where we do nothing ESPECIALLY if you're someone who is working or js in school / college everyday .. you deserve that break
i think a big factor is being unproductive ? don't get me wrong , i still am my same unproductive self at times unfortunately , n sometimes they do get so bad that they lead to a terrible burnout .. n i went through a rly bad burnout not long ago n trust me you do not want to get this far :( how do i deal with this ? (let's take studying as an example here) well i always start off with small portions , even if it's just a page or two . n then i slowly keep increasing the amount of pages i read .. n yes ofc , i understand how brutal burnouts can get sometimes n that's why it's important to not overwhelm yourself by attempting to finish a big portion of your studies in one go .. just take it easy , let the information marinate in your head for a bit before you move on to the next topic .. so basically what im trying to say here is don't overwhelm yourself with big tasks especially when you're already burntout
friends .. they're great ☆
the thing that honestly improved my life by a mile is getting good friends .. I've had my fair share of bad friend groups so trust me when I say this , it's better to be alone than with people who drain you mentally because . you deserve someone who treats you the way you actually want to be treated .
"but it's hard to make friends" i completely get this because i am a very shy person myself </3 but i think you could start by trying to make friends online ! its easy to find someone with similar interests on the internet .. so when you feel down atleast you know that there's someone on the other side of the world who cares for you ..
but this doesn't change the fact that solitude is AMAZING too (tbh i could go on for a really long time on how i love being by myself but this is already getting super lengthy ...) you can be your own friend too ! (okay see now this seems insane but if it makes you happy WHO CARES AMIRITE) i personally enjoy my own company like omg .. she can get a good laugh out of me sometimes ... you can do whatever you want when you're alone ! you can dance to your favourite playlist or experiment with a bunch of stuff ! if you get bored you can watch your favourite movie or consume your favourite piece of media that no one gets like you 🤫 so , as much as making friends sounds great , let's appreciate solitude too !!
ah, life can be beautiful sometimes? ☆
one of the biggest reasons i go on walks almost regularly is to remind myself how beautiful the world can be sometimes .. (atp half of this is me convincing you all to go on walks) i live in a beautiful neighbourhood n there are a lot of different flowers and fruits that grow here and that makes me really happy . going on early morning walks especially is soo fun , the world is so quiet then and you can even watch the sunrise 🥹
another thing is buying myself things i like ... especially clothes ... if you think you would look good in something then js go ahead and buy it ! don't mind what other people think because like ... YOU are wearing it and if people around you have a problem with that then i think they should close their damn eyes and not look at you if it bothers them that much 🤦 you deserve to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin , you deserve to dress the way you want to ! so if you feel like dressing a particular way would make you feel better .. GO FOR IT !!! this applies to other things you like, maybe accessories, merch or stationary that look cute .. it's okay even if people judge you for your style because in the end they're the ones who are boring and miserable because they spend soo much time hating on others 😒
life is soo much more fun when you take care of yourself trust me ... you deserve to be taken care of !! so spoil yourself once in a while i promise it's okay as long as it makes you happy <3
to sum it all up .. yes , good times don't last forever but so don't bad times , and you and i both can get through a bad day because life is still going on (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠。⁠*⁠♡ bad times too , will pass . so please believe in yourself and hold on !! i love you
again, this is all how*I* like to cheer myself up so pls don't take anything here in a bad way 😖 all of this was made with good intentions and im so sorry if i still ended up hurting anyone in any way ..

Idk why but I feel the need to rant about trolls band together so here's a warning for SPOILERS.
TL;DR I'll be talking shit about major conflict parts in the movie that I wished were handled differently >:((((
Please take caution (and a deep breath) reading this because I'm very bad at making sense when I ramble ok? Ok les go
OK SO.
The movie was great, loved the songs and I enjoyed branches family shenanigans, including supportive girlfriend poppy I've been WAITING FOR THIS (ifykyk)
But here are some things that bothered me that they could've definitely done differently
1. JOHN DORYS ENTIRE CHARACTER ARC- jd is great. He's actually my favorite! He's a cringefail boyfailiure and I love him for it. In the movie, his whole thing was that he was basically an ass who didn't listen to his siblings and always pressured and bossed them around. Cool, that's established. What's not is, Why??? It's really the whole "perfect family harmony" thing I guess.
Because later in the conflict he says that it was "hard being responsible for four younger siblings" (which bitch me too were litteraly the same) and that all they needed to be was perfect. what I don't understand is why? Why the whole perfect harmony? Where did it come from? They didn't say it was a big thing or that other bands did it? Would it get them more fame? Would it mean that they're perceived as the perfect brothers or something?? Also, why wasn't the grandmother more involved with the kids?? Did she pressure him to care for his siblings because their parents weren't involved or something? That's just one thing that's not really explained to me ig 🤔
And the whole thing that bothers me with jd is that he doesn't do the cliché "branch I'm sorry I was an asshole brother, and I wanna be a better troll to you and our bros. And blah blah blah" like they skip that entire potential jd apology??? I was expecting that with a hug?? I WANTED A HUG WITH BRANCH AND JD OK. He genuinely cares about him!!! You can see it, he really does. He's just bad at communicating. Like extremely - so they skipped that and just made him go, "We'll follow ur lead branch," and that's it.😐 no apology. No proper character development. Just him going "ok yeah I'll follow u one time." LIKE HUH. (This also includes the other siblings cuz they dipped on branch the same, and none of them said sorry!!)
OH and another thing. WHY WERE CLAY AND BRUCE SUCH ASSHOLES TO JD. ESPECIALLY CLAY. like I completely get it, he was an asshole, he pressured and bossed you around, we know that. But that was 20 PLUS YEARS AGO??? Like no you don't have to hug him but damn why r yall so cold???
I'm thinking that because I'm p sure they went no contact at all after they broke up. So how r they so sure he's still the way he was before?? (I mean they were kinda right but still) like you could've been super happy and then get disappointed later when trying to practice hitting the note. It would've made more sense to me idk. Like it just bothers me that they straight up ignore him- it's mean! (But I can't be too mad I mean they all have their reasons ig 🙄)
While we're on the topic of the family, on to my next point.
2. ROSIEPUFF AND HER DEATH. I think it was handled HORRIBLY. Like the whole movie I was just like "plz don't skip over it plz don't skip over it." And then branch drops the bomb on them right (which still caught me off guard like damn) and THEYRE DUMBFOUNDED, GREAT. And then after that there's NOTHING. NOTHING!?!??!?!?!? they don't mention it they don't apologize to branch for what he went through they don't take two seconds to mourn her they're just like "wait she dead?" And then fucking move on like. Why???? they don't question how, they don't question when branch was living in solidarity for 20 years, nothing. and I'm mad as fuck because that was part of Branches entire CHARACTER ARC in the first movie!! They don't mention he was gray they don't mention he didn't sing they don't mention anything. He went through that for 20 YEARS, ALONE. and they don't mention it. I rlly hated that- like they rlly didn't care.
Anyway.
Third smaller topic that I thought was gonna happen
3. I thought clay was gonna end up going, "actually yknow what, I AM fun" and then embrace himself because hes most definitely goofy. But nah they left him trying so hard to convince himself he's serious, and tbh he just came across as branch 2.0.
Alright moving on!!
4. I'm mad they didn't include a little flashback of viva and poppy being inseparable until the escape happened. Like I know popps was an infant but at the same time troll kids talk the day they're born, so it would've been nice to see them be together at least once before they separated.
Also.
I WANNA DECK PEPPY IN THE FACE. you lost your daughter and instead of MOURNING her and spreading her memory you decided to act like she didn't EXIST. WHY. like he was obviously depressed and sad but why didn't you tell poppy stories of her when she was a kid or something? And keep her memory alive??
(And sure. There's the thing with "They weren't gonna give poppy a sister until now" but I feel like they could've at least made poppy remember a small flashback is what I'm saying.)
Idk. I just wish it was handled differently like why is peppy keeping so much shit to himself lmao.
Oh yeah and then there's just my little nitpick and it's that I wish they included the troll leaders in the wedding sequence ok they're all friends they should've been invited ok I just wanted to see them again 😭(totally not saying thus cuz world tour is my fav but I am)
Anyway, yeah! I think this is just what mainly bothers me about the movie. I just feel like the conflict was handled poorly. But either than that it's still a good watch. I like it a lot :D
If you read this far, God damn you like to read, and thanks for dealing with my stupid thoughts!
If not, that's OK lol.

ok so i started this ask earlier this morning and am just now getting aroundn to finish it so apologies if it's all over the place
vegas has been a lestappen weekend and I am thinking THOTs like honestly so much happened this race weekend and i am reeling
1. no1 vegas hater max verstappen saying that he's excited to go back i love him 😭😭😭 i'm so glad he had fun lmaoo. like i can just imagine him in the hotel with charles and reader the night before the race all huffy and upset because this whole weekend is a farce and he is NOT going to have a good time. and charles is just like "it's gonna be fine mon amour, i think at this point you're just determined to have a bad weekend and spoiling it all for yourself" and maybe yeah he is but in max's opinion that is NOT the point. anyways after the thrill of Racing™️ he's like "hmm okay yeah u weren't wrong, i had a good time" and charles is jsut liek "SAY IT WAS YOUR WHOLE CHEST PLZ !!!! I WAS RIGHT !!!!"
2. obsessed with carlos being all kinds of protective big brother vibes to werewolf!reader. like he sees max and charles crowding her and is just like 🤨🤨 "alright alright we get it, you love her, but let her work pls. if you keep crowding her i'm gonna call this sabotage" but he's also the one who goes "i pretend i do not see it" when he catches max trying to wiggle his way into the ferarri turf
3. there are mould your own dildo kits called clone a willy (don't ask me how i know) but i can see max getting one as like a gag gift or something and he's just like haha ok whatev. but the days go on and really the more he thinks about it the more appealing it is to have a custom dildo bc then he can fuck his two loves with his cock at the same time. and also he needs to know what his dick feels like, you know for scientific purposes. so anyways he gets charles and reader to help him and it is SO messy, positioning is important, and the amount of effort it takes to stay hard is ASTRONOMICAL. his dick is stuck in a tube of goo, it's not sexy. but now if someone tells him to go fuck himself he can. so he stays winning 😘😘🤩
4. i also really hope lando gots a nice long sleep after the race. like he sounded horrible on the radio. he needs a nice cuddle stat. i feel like we don't talk about werewolf lando a lot but
-🌠
GAHSJSJAKAJSJBSSKJA OH GOD
1. there’s something so funny about max suddenly changing his tune😭he was probably just happy to do some actual racing and know that the whole weekend was over after it, but it’s still hilarious. and I could see charles and reader giving him such shit over it, teasing him that the elvis race suit put him in a good mood and maybe they should keep it all year round (no, they should not. it’s a cursed wee thing. I want it gone)
2. CARLOS BEING AN OVERPROTECTIVE BROTHER PLEASE😭even the idea that she’s upset with them over something, it’s carlos who she goes to and his driver’s room that she stays in🥲but he would be so supportive of their relationship and definitely help hiding it when he can
3. I have seen the clone-a-willy sets in stores here, it’s so😭😭😭I know it’s this hot concept or whatever but it genuinely makes me cackle at the idea of these boys trying to follow the instructions. like charles is confused and max is convinced he doesn’t need instructions and it’s just such a mess. it would be so fucking funny
4. baby lando deserves all the hugs and cuddles and kisses after that crash :( but we do not talk about werewolf!lando near enough!!!

BATMAN AND ROBIN 2023 #1 (Take 6 (yes))
(im not writing this as i go since ive already read the issue before. ill also be mentioning gotham war since this takes place during it (just a warning for spoilers!))
Tumblr media
i just noticed the bat and robin on the cover! so cute
Tumblr media
OH........(just noticed this too) that doesn't look good
Tumblr media Tumblr media
look at them goofing off n having fun
this is cute but the way bruce acts here and in gotham war is so jarring its kinda funny
bruce in batman #137: can't stand my fake ass family
bruce in b&r: me and my son damian 🤗
Tumblr media
bruce is in his "local dilf in the area" era rn
Tumblr media
damian having talia's mannerism that bruce noticed is so <3
and here its confirmed that this takes place during gotham war. not sure how to feel about that
Tumblr media
STILL INSANE OVER THIS baby first self insert fanfic
damian went from drawing hyper realistic gore vent art to anime eyes in the corner
i think it'd be fun if we see damian write more as the story goes on. like him daydreaming n doodling in class
wonder if theres any meaning with damian putting talia as a hero n bruce as a criminal here...or maybe its just a "totally original character do not steal" thing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you dont say bruce 🙄
"the last few years"?? pretty sure the events shown there all happened not even in 2 years since damian turned 14 around the start of the lazarus tournament
also why are alfred n talia not shown there? alfred's death has huge impact on damian (he literally hallucinated him) n talia was there as much as ra's
i dont like how damian looks here but that white connor should be a crime
Tumblr media
"thats enough emotions for tonight father" [slams door]
i wonder why damian is staying with bruce tho (outside of making this book exist) didn't bruce n talia had a custody battle moment™ n damian's like "nah i have my own life (is literally 14)"
Tumblr media
HELL YEAH MY BOY CAN COOK
he's quoting alfred ohhh im gonna sob
this is kinda embarrassing for bruce...like ur son is finally living with you again n he's the one up early cooking?? sir u better step up
Tumblr media
aw he's making tea the way alfred did
*squints* did bruce get his hand back? thats a pretty normal looking hand to me
did damian's comment on it in batman #137 made bruce think "shit i cant give damian any ideas of getting a robot hand" n he just. magically grow it back
Tumblr media
[GLASS SHATTERING SOUND]
gotham...heights? n. not gotham academy? no maps? no damian joining her dnd team?? no detective club finally hanging out with damian??
ik damian got expelled from gotham academy BUT. WHY
Tumblr media
okay? whats the point if he's not going to the same school that his friend went to?
interesting how damian fantasize for a normal life in robin 2021 (with him liking the mundanity of shoujo manga) n now that bruce is offering him that he's rejecting it (or maybe he just rly don't like school which is. fair enough)
wellll just cuz we're not getting maps n the detective club doesn't mean damian's other friends arent showing up right? RIGHT? (maya plz come home)
Tumblr media
THE ROBIN MOBILEEE it looks so ridiculous i love it
HOLD ON. DOES THIS CAR HAVE NO SEAT BELTS?? BRUCE UR LETTING THIS SLIDE?
ik that thing is rly loud too damian waking up the whole neighborhood here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
not rumors abt the batfam fighting getting spread around?? this is so embarrassing omg
am i the only one getting gotham academy flashbacks here? with killer croc n the trio with the fox shark n bird masks
Tumblr media
they're very comfortable with calling eachother father n son while in suits huh. ig everyone in gotham knows that batman is a dilf (who's beefing with his adult children) now
not much to say abt the rest: bruce got shot with something n now bats are attacking him
end thoughts: i hope with all the focus on animals here means that we're getting damian's pets back soon n that gotham war wont affect this book much since i rly want to see damian interact with his siblings again. also is it just me or does the day scenes looks very bright? saturated? it kinda hurts for me to read idk. the night scenes r pretty tho
next issue is damian's first day on his new school that is not gotham academy but im still excited for it! (coping)
bonus bestie corner

i saw your post about jiwoo and his plot armour and ur so right!!! i love him as a character but that actually made me stop reading 💔💔 i’ll probably pick it up again at some point, but jiwoo actually needs to stop winning everything because it got wayyy too boring and repetitive and also super unrealistic bc wdym you’re beating the top people in the country or wtv is happening now
this is actually turning into a long rant sorry 😭😭 but it really dawned on me that it was a bit ridiculous when he ‘beat’ jurion because i get it could probably happen but it was sort of like… so everything just goes your way. exactly as planned. all the time. okay then where’s the conflict or excitement or any sort of cliffhanger or tension if i already know you’re going to win no matter what?? no matter who you’re fighting?? at this point he could probably fight kayden and win because he pulls out some fancy punch that caught him off guard and i wouldn’t be surprised
i also felt like i read about 200 episodes and he didn’t have any proper character development. i get he’s meant to be likeable but there weren’t really any proper flaws for him to develop, so while he starts as a sort of fresh character who’s nice yet powerful and a nice change from some others characters in the same genre he eventually becomes a bit flat?? it might have changed in recent chapters, but i feel like the writing let it down slightly
sorry to come into your inbox and just rant!! i thought i’d share a couple thoughts on it since apparently i have quite a few but it turned into this x
oh anon...u r so real for this. Come sit with me and be a nuanced hater.
I...do not really like Jiwoo. "But he's a precious bean! He's smol! Must protecc!" Yes, so true, you are so valid, but also consider he has the personality of a communion wafer and makes watching paint dry more interesting than reading his dialogue. He is perfect and it is unbearable-narrative wise. The main character propels the story-it is what the plot is centered around. So when the main character has nothing to give, neither does the plot. Someone go instill the hate of god in his heart or introduce him to twitter to something.
Also-the lack of proper development is SO REAL oh my god. He had one (1) revelation in the entire story, promptly after getting almost assassinated, and that was: "I want to get stronger for my friends!!" like...babygirl...that's what you've been doing this entire time..plz don't tell me it took you 100 something chapters to come to that conclusion.
This phenomenon is like-the doom of every korean action mawha. MC is OP, and has no discernable personality besides the like. 3 given traits given to them. No development, static plot, rinse, repeat. maybe the only exciting things that happens is a side character dies. It's like the webtoon equivalent of plug and chug math problems, so ig I got what I came for LOL
Also don't be sorry, feel free to come anytime and rant bestie!! I'll have tea and cookies for you next time you come around :)

My thoughts while watching…
Wednesday (Season 1)
I see why it’s so popular.
Character Edition
cause we all know the show is great, u don’t need me to tell u that
Wednesday is my favorite character hands down. I love how she doesn’t feel the need to change anything about herself for anyone, and people still gravitate towards her regardless. A level of confidence we could all use. she’s also not heartless at all. She could be mean, pessimistic, and blindsided sometimes, but she genuinely cares about people. plus her lil one liners had me dying and her dance was the best thing i’ve seen all year.
Thing is a close second. the LOYALTY. one couldn’t ask for a better friend.
Enid is so sweet. i thought she was gonna be annoying, but this was a pleasant surprise. her and wednesday juxtapose each other nicely. i would like them together, but i don’t ship them yet sry😬. speaking of ships—
Tyler and Xavier are both mediocre at BEST. what do people see in them?? I mean, what do we like about them???? in fact, what DIFFERENCďżźE would it make?! Like i would feel the same whether she got with tyler or xavier it makes no difference to me.
idk, im a lil tired of the same, old basic white boy love interests that netflix loves giving to me. u know what, let me not put all the blame on netflix… the sex lives of college girls, love victor, the summer i turned pretty, etc… they’ve all been victim to the same thing.
u know what, i change my mind, i DO SHIP ENID AND WEDNESDAY. at least it’s something new.
lmao let me say something nice about them. i think tyler’s little plot twist was good, and i didn’t see it coming, so that was nice. Xavier’s powers are really cool and his hair looks like it smells amazing.
Bianca is gorgeous af. i want more of her. plz don’t just put her with a pretty boy and toss her to the side. Her powers are fvcking awesome. she can spell me any time she wants.

“do u even love me” angst (the girl says it)
with a reconciliation plz 👉🏻👈🏻
I knew you was spoiled by Jay when he was with me everyday. I had convinced myself it was by choice even though I knew the pandemic was to blame for it. But once he started traveling, he was away a lot. I felt bad in the beginning, wishing he’d ask me to join him.
The trips had gotten longer too. While initially he traveled in and out of a country in less than 24 hours, he now stayed away for days. I hated it, acting like a spoiled little girl, but only because I missed him. He didn’t seem to know. Or care.
‘I have to do this! I have a lot to make up for.’ He would then say and change the subject.
I wanted to scream ‘Take me with you!’, but I knew I was being unreasonable.
It had to come from him. And apparently he was completely fine leaving me behind.
Get a grip!, my inner voice said. It’s work! Why would he take you with him?
But when summer rolled around he did exactly that. Adding vacation days to his overseas trips. I felt like an ass for complaining, he absolutely deserved a day or two off but I was mad that it never occurred to him to ask me to come along. My job allowed it so why was he hesitating?
Doubts started bubbling up inside me. Was he not inviting me on purpose? Was he fed up with me, did he need time apart?
All signs pointed to ‘yes’ and I was dreading the confrontation we’d likely had to have.
Clearing my throat to make my presence known, I leaned against the door watching him pack his bags for yet another trip.
“Leaving again?” I tried to mask the disappointment in my voice as he yet again failed to tell me about it in advance.
“I’m going to the States for some business and then I’ll fly to Seattle for a few days. I’ll be gone a week tops.”
I debated with my inner self, then sighed. The irrational, emotional part of me won. “Do you even love me?”
His hands stopped mid-air and he threw the previously neatly folded shirt into his suitcase. He was angry.
“I thought we talked about this. There are certain things I have to do. It’s part of my job.”
“I understand that. But lately it feels like I’m being left out on purpose.”
“I’m sorry if you feel that way, but I can’t stay and soothe your ego right now. I have a flight to catch.”
He zipped up his bags and practically ran out of the room. No hug, no kiss goodbye. I scoffed loudly but even that didn’t phase him.
Hours passed before I realized I had been sitting in the same spot on the bed.
I should just pack my things and leave too. Give him a dose of his own medicine. See how he likes it.
But I couldn’t. I loved him. Even though his own feelings for me might be fading, it didn’t change a thing about my feelings for him.
Curling up into a ball, I cried myself to sleep that night. But the next morning I got out of bed, promising myself to not drown in melancholy. I’d sit down and talk to Jay once he returned. Until then I’d waste no thought on him.
That day came sooner than I expected. He had said he’d be gone for a week, but then returned after four days.
It was already past midnight. I had been unable to fall asleep, as the nights before, so I decided to read something. The familiar melody of the key lock alerted my senses and I sat up on the bed. Then I got out of bed and sat down on the stool of my vanity.
Listening in, I realized he went to the guest bathroom to wash up so he wouldn’t wake me up and something tugged at my heart.
He cares.
I waited until he slowly pushed the door open and mumbled a silent hi when our eyes met.
He kept something hidden behind his back and approached me slowly. When he stood in front of me, he dropped to his knees, revealing what he had hidden behind him.
A giant bouquet of pink and violet flowers appeared an inch away from my face and I hesitantly took it. Jay looked remorseful, but knew that simply looking sorry wouldn’t be enough.
“I’m sorry.”
It wasn’t a blanket apology even though it sounded like one. We both knew exactly what he was apologizing for.
Now it was my turn to admit my wrongs.
“I felt neglected and lashed out. I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry too!”
“You had every right to be mad. I’m an idiot. Please forgive me?”
Although I toyed with the idea of making him wait a little longer, in the end I knew I could stay mad at him.
“Let’s just go to bed.” I said, grabbing his hand. He squeezed my hand and a smile appeared on his face. “I haven’t been sleeping well since you left and I’m exhausted.”
“Me, too!” He whispered while he pulled back the covers.
“How come you’re back early?” I asked, finally nestled in his warm embrace.
“I realized what an idiot I was and took the next flight home.” He said, planting a firm kiss on top of my head. “Sleep now! I have no schedules tomorrow and I plan to spent the day here with you.”
“Here, here? In bed?” I chuckled in delight.
Jay didn’t answer, just hummed after a few seconds and I knew he was drifting off to sleep.
Breathing in his familiar scent, I, too, allowed myself to be lulled into sleep.

HOWDY TIFF I ADORE YOU✨🧡!!!! Please know my DMs are always open to you, I also hope you're doing well✨🧡🥺!!!! I wanted to also thank you for your sweet words on my Texiarty art, I laughed reading your tags about the monarchy you're so valid actually?? The only kingdom Jim and I care to rule is the one existing inside our home 👉🏽👈����
I wanted to also come ask!!!! Can you 👁️👁️ walk me through first kiss ideas between you and Ford vs you and Stan???? I'd love to hear about it, I think first kisses are so precious and know that there's so much potential regarding your ship with both brothers :3c
Sunny @tex-treasures
SUNNY WAAAAAA AND SAME TO U MY FRIEND plz know u can dm me anytime u wanna as well!!! 🥺
(and yknow what that’s perfectly valid ur kingdom is ur home and I bet it’s a lovely one at that)
HOOOOOO FIRST KISSES (slams fists on table continuously) MY JAM!!!! Ur so right the POTENTIAL!!!! the FLAVOURS!!!!! first kisses are very precious, and honestly it’s hard to figure out what wld be The First Kiss yknow? cuz u cld go so many ways…….. but here’s what i got hehhehe
Ford
we’d both be super shy abt it i just KNOW IT
ford wld try to initiate first, but chicken out at the last second. i feel like he’d overthink it and believe he’s moving too fast, so he quickly makes an excuse and leaves
he’s be up all night thinking abt how to go abt it, pouring thru any romance novels and dating guides he can get his hands on. he’d lose sleep cuz he can’t figure out when the right time is!
he thinks I don’t notice his attempts but I do, and I patiently wait at first.
eventually it gets too much to bear. like one day ford could be explaining something to me
“any questions?” “yeah i got one.” “yes?” “do you plan on kissing me ever???”
bewildered he’s like “wait you’ve been noticing my attempts this whole time?? why didn’t you do anything abt it??” “idk i wanted to see how long it took. and it’s not like i knew how to go abt it either. i never kissed before!” he chuckles at this and says “well that makes two of us. why don’t we figure it out together?”
so it happens. i close my eyes and he cups my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb. it’s subtle but I can hear his breathing, and I can tell he’s stalling a little bit. he leans it quick, and the kiss is soft and tentative.
Stan
now technically we had TWO seperate ‘first kisses’
the first time was when i arrived back in gravity falls, halfway through when stan was running the mystery shack (so were both in our mid 40s)
at this point, hes heard word of fords girlfriend so hes a little (very) nervous. would she be able to tell? would she figure it all out? how would she react? would she understand? as far as stan cld tell, i didnt pick up on anything strange over our phone calls. so far so good, right?
its almost like a big town event. a large group of townies congregate at the shack waiting for me to pull up in my car. (stan is SWEATING BULLETS cuz holy shit why are there so many people here??? geez sixer you really know how to pick em. whyd she have to be famous in this stupid town????)
so i arrive, and stan and i meet halfway from the shack and my car. its super silent. all i can do is stare at him and stan is freaking out. shit. she KNOWS im not him
i move forward grab him by the collar and dip him into a BIG ASS KISS. the townies woop and cheer, for their fave couple is back together again.
little do they know im actually just dipping him far enough that it appears were close, but were not actually kissing. classic theatre magic. the little the townies know the better. “you can relax.” i mutter “i know youre not ford. just act natural and head back to the house.”
stan is just SO CONFUSED LIKE......hwuh? huh??? wha-what?? (is she really trusting me that much already???) before he can say anything else, were already running to the shack.
the second time was more genuine. at this point we had marriage papers signed to make the relationship of ford and i more “official” to the public. the less suspicion the better.
the kids were arriving for the summer soon. stan was having doubts about being a good caretaker for them, about reactivating the portal, about getting ford back, everything was getting to him and i could tell he was tearing himself down for it
i reassured him that he has worked so fucking hard for all of this, and that if ford couldnt see that, it was his problem. that he cares so much for this family and that was one of the things that made me love him so much
“w-wait, wait, you...you love me?” “yes i love you??? how could i not after everything weve been through all these years??”
the confession shocks the both of us. years of denial and secret pining has led to all this. we both just thought we were playing along to keep up the charade, but now that we realize its all real....and that it always has been...
he immediately pulls me in for a kiss. its firm but passionate, and he was practically clinging to my shoulders. it was the culmination of our feelings, all finally being laid bare.
as if he had woken up from a dream, he stops and immediately moves away from me. were both just staring wide eyed. did we just...?
“SHIT UHH I JUST REMEMBERED THAT I HAVE TO BE IN ANOTHER PLACE GOTTA GO BYE” and he takes off
im just sitting there almost frozen, processing what just happened. welp, theres no denying it now. i cup the side of my face. “..............huh.”

Hi!!! if you haven’t already can you do a story with Jaehyun please? handholding 36 and touching 37
plz forgive me if i did this wrong. this is my first time doing a request 🥲🥲🙏🙏🙏
u requested correctly don’t worry!! <3 also this got poetic FAST i’m sorry
hand-holding, 36: unconsciously searching out each other’s hand while sleeping
touching, 37: putting their head on the other’s chest
taglist: @goingbananasoverpotassium
“don’t you think you’d wanna be putting them to bed?” johnny whispers over to jaehyun, who unconsciously strokes your hair. it’s funny that the male doesn’t even know the gesture’s lulled you right to sleep, but it was inevitable that it was going to happen considering the long day you had.
jaehyun hums curiously, mouth dropping a little at the peaceful look on your face, but it soon stretches into a smile. johnny returns a farewell gesture, in a way that kind of says “i’ll catch you up on the movie later”. he wasn’t sure if that was his intended message was that, but he hoped it was true at least.
jaehyun couldn’t stay mad at you for falling asleep though.
in one swoop, he sweeps you into his arms and brings you into his chest, making his way to his room with as less movement to your body as possible. the last thing he wanted was for you to wake from your slumber. he doesn’t bother to switch on the light, manoeuvring through the room before setting you on the bed and he thinks it’s his fault that he feels a tug on his sleeve.
jaehyun is ready to apologise, but is only met with a pout from you where your eyes can barely open, laced with sleepiness that he can’t believe he’s considered going back to movie night with the boys.
“can’t you stay? the movie outside was becoming a little loud.” jaehyun coos inwardly at you, succumbing to your tempting plea (which didn’t do much, jaehyun is just weak to you), and getting into his bed with you where your body naturally turns to accommodate him. before he knows it, you’re already making his chest your home, head reaching for his heartbeat where you always feel the most secure.
it’s where it holds the most love for you, because years of literature and art and poetry points to the heart as the most sacred place to contain yearning for another. jaehyun wants to argue, but he feels like he doesn’t have the qualifications for it — he didn’t major in science to know of the heart’s patterns, nor does he paint the colours you make him feel that much. but jaehyun knows enough that the heart isn’t enough to convey all of him.
you prove this to be true when you unconsciously reach for his hand in the midst of your slumber, interrupting the male from his many thoughts and it’s like something awakens in jaehyun. he watches as your hand does the same thing each night, curling around his palm before it slips under his larger one. a protection, a safe place, your hand hides under jaehyun’s, your body curls into the other’s.
jaehyun would face off to every creator that named the heart as something that meant the most, but when you have someone’s life in your hands, all you’d be feeling is burdened. what about the hands? the body? he observes quietly again how you adjust yourself to embrace all of him, all of his ways of loving and soon, the another thought invades on his mind.
maybe everything was the answer, and sure, maybe jaehyun was unqualified to answer that, but if it’s all that mattered in a connection between two people, then he wouldn’t need sir philip sidney to tell him that his heart needed to be with yours in order to be one.
jaehyun could feel one with you any time, and it’s only fair that he reciprocates all he knows about love, even if they aren’t fancy gestures of spilling poetry on parchment. he feels one with you right now, where even you transcend every portrayal of love ever written down.
why? jaehyun thinks it’s because you’re the very definition of it.

request;
i don't really think i need to do this, i have a feeling that it wouldn't matter anyway (call it a hunch but we'll see if i'm wrong in a few months i guess) but i have a request to anyone who follows me or enjoys my fic.
plz do not nominate any of my works for the @fabulousficsfrom911 challenge/competition/event. supposedly they will reach out to anyone nominated, at which point i will tell them i do not wish to be included. however, i would prefer not to have to do that at all.
i will explain that i do not wish to be included in such an event for several reasons; 1. i do not write fanfic for accolades, i do not want to be pitted against other authors in a voting or ranking system to see who is 'better'. a lot of my friends within this fandom are writers, i know many of them face the same issues i sometimes do where we feel our worth as an author is attached to hits/kudos/comment stats & i do not want to add to that stress or mental health battle. 2. events like this almost always devolve into a popularity contest, even with the assurance that the time frame is meant to allow people to read all the fics & give an informed vote. it won't happen like that & frankly, i already know where i sit in the fandom as a writer—again i am fine with this, i write for my own enjoyment. 3. while, typically, i am very grateful for anything someone gifts me, be it art or inspired fics or something they believe i would like, i do not want to have to tell a person who put work into something that i do not want their work attached to mine. i'm trying not to be hurtful, & if someone takes time to make something from my work, i would feel horrible telling them i'm not attaching it to my work.
4. & i feel this is the most important one given the current discourse & previous issues within this fandom. until such time as i am convinced the moderators of @fabulousficsfrom911 are not people who i do not want to be involved with, associated with or tangentially attached to, i will not approve any of my work to be linked to them. for the same reason i deny collection requests from people i do not know i will deny my work being attached to an event run by people i do not know.
maybe i'm just paranoid, or maybe i'm right & it won't be an issue anyway because i'm persona non grata with that group anyway—i took something beautiful & twisted it apparently—& i highly doubt any of them will wish to acknowledge that i still exist in the fandom. ergo, no. do not put me in the position to tell these people not to include me.
i appreciate comments & kudos from people on my fics enough; that's all i need from y'all who read my work. ur comments are what make me know u like my work. ur kudos are how i know u appreciate the work i put into the fandom. ur bookmarks are enough for me to know u like re-reading my work. this is all i need from u.
thank u all. 💖

MHA Teachers and their confessions
let's just say you're the school TA and that's how you meet them for simplicity's sake. . .
Shouta Aizawa
he was actually on the hiring board that got you into UA
color him impressed
he's been keeping a close eye on you since
it's the little things you do that make him fall hard
how you bring him and yamada coffee while you get kayama's tea order just right
or how when a student needs help you're ready to do anything to help them
he's just salty the students don't find you intimidating
one day yamada convinced him to go to a bar with his colleagues
he didn't mention that you'd be there tho
so when he sees you out of your work attire? he's gone
you couldn't get more attractive to this man and there you go, going plus ultra
he's not sure his heart can take it
both of you are designated sober friends
so that means both of you are the last ones left after getting everyone back to their places
yes he borrowed hizashi's car what of it
when he drops you off to the door of your home
he's all like
"we should go out together, you know, without that whole lot"
ofc you tell him yes
y'all go get coffee a couple of days later
that's where he drops it on you
"i'm attracted to you, i thought you should know"
he's appalled when you tell him you feel the same way
he's like ???? they like me????
not in the insecure way
in the way that yamada has constantly told him he's gonna end up alone if he doesn't freshen up once in a while
y'all grade papers together at his apartment as a pseudo date sometimes
he just enjoys your company (and cuddling you)
Hizashi Yamada
will make his attraction to you apparent
like mans is not subtle at ALL
not in that gross way no absolutely not
sees you in a room and goes "well hello sunshine"
"you look radiant, as always!" even if you wear a hoodie
whipped when he sees you interact with a student who feels like they're stretching themselves thin
like this man is a dj, teacher, and pro hero like he feels like he's ready to crash
and for you to understand that?
wHIPPED I TELL YOU
starts to ask if you're free on the weekends bc he wants to run some lesson plans through you
or maybe he wants to develop a couple of plans for certain students
attraction aside he really respects your opinion as a colleague
he really values your input and has you observe his class once in a while so that you can tell him what was good
but will also start just hanging out with you on the weekend
like he wants to know about you
will take you to dinner if you say yes
because at that point he's not present mic, he's hizashi yamada
tells you over dinner that he likes you
and if you say you return his affections, please he's gonna give you the sweetest, softest kiss
because he may be bold and brash as present mic
but hizashi yamada is a romantic softy
congratulations you're now dating a walking shojo manga
Nemuri Kayama
when you first joined she would pick on you
you weren't used to her type of banter
but you managed to find your footing quickly
so sometimes you would throw it back at her
she'd sometimes respond with "kinky"
bUT ON THE INSIDE SHES SCREAMING
like WOW THAT WAS HOT
she's also an avid tea drinker
so when you learned how she takes her tea she was so touched by the gesture
y'all have some philosophical conversation of the over-sexualization of heroes
she's the type of person to find brains much more attractive than brawn
so when y'all have that type of conversation her heart just goes burrrrrr
she's blunt about liking you tho
not aggressively so
one day she'll wait for you to pack up ur stuff
and ask you out for drinks or something the two of you can do together that's small
cuz u know that teacher salary 🤪 (pay teachers more cowards)
and while you're walking together she'll just
"Hey, listen, i like you. Romantically."
When you tell her you feel the same she smiles and grabs your hand
she shows you who she is
like she begins to open up to you
because she keeps work, teaching and her own life separate
just be there for her please
Toshinori Yagi
listen he has no idea how to date someone
it's always been him and trying to save the world
so when he first started wanting to be with you his selfless ass made sure you were as far away from him as possible
nah bruh that ain't gonna work
especially if yamada and kayama have anything to say about it
they make sure to schedule your breaks with his
just anything to get y'all to be within 5 feet of each other
after his retirement he's not sure if he should just go for it
but he does
it's not as eloquent as one would expect the symbol of peace to be
but it's still cute
asks you out dahgoba beach
y'all sit on a bench and just talk
he's so insecure about his teaching
so he asks advice and you give it to him
after a while the conversation steers to life in general
and this is where he takes the leap of faith
he'll downplay himself tho so you're gonna have to work on that with him
"i know i'm not who i used to be, but i like you, and i would like to try this out ďżźwith you."
when you say yes he kisses your cheek but you'd think he was the one getting kissed bc he was RED
"i hope im not being too forward"
nah bb you're not being forward at ALLL
plz just love him he's so tired of holding the world on his shoulders

Yes, I’m so excited! I had an idea to write something similar to this anyway, so I obviously chose my boy Barry. Here it is, hope you like it! And thanks so much for requesting 😁

Fandom: Justice League (Snyder) / DCEU

Title:  Smitten
You nearly jumped out of your skin when you exited your place just to meet face to face with none other than Bruce Wayne. He smiled a little at you, probably in an apologetic gesture.
“Hello, Y/N” Bruce nodded his head. “May we come in?” 
“If you think it’s gonna work...” You resigned yourself, going in again. However, you suddenly stopped and looked over your shoulder. “Wait, did you say ‘we’?” 
“Hi!” A young man appeared behind Bruce, dedicating you a bright grin and a wave. “I’m Barry” 
You stared at the boy, smitten by him. His grin became a goofy smile as he too stared at you. Getting back to reality, you shook your head and rolled your eyes at Bruce.
“Nice try” You muttered, walking inside and ignoring them for the time being.
“I brought him to help me convince you” Bruce insisted, walking further into your house.
“No offense, but I already said no” 
“Um... why don’t you want to join us?” Barry muttered, breaking the tension between you and Bruce.
You angrily turned around, begrudgingly facing them. Barry observed you with curiosity. 
“Because he’s wrong” You briefly pointed at Bruce. “I can’t do anything” 
“Right...” His tone made you frown, and soon you realized why it held such a suspicious note. 
Bruce had thrown something at you. Barry was about to throw himself your way, but Bruce stopped him with a hand on the chest. You focused on the projectiles heading your direction, knowing you didn’t have much time. Gathering all your power, you mentally willed them to stop their movement and they did, freezing and floating in mid-air. They shook for a moment until they finally dropped to the ground. It all happened within a few seconds.
Your gasp of exertion mixed with Barry’s of awe. Bruce was unfazed, slowly letting go of his companion.
“See?” The first muttered. “I think you’re powerful enough” 
You opened your mouth, trying to get through his thick skull that you weren’t strong enough to use your power. What use could you be if it took so much out of you? However, the effort made you unable to speak.
“No...” Was all you could muster, feeling yourself faltering.
All your strengths left you, threatening to pull you to the ground when your knees buckled. Your head began to throb. Resigned, you brazed yourself for your inevitable fall.
Your knees had given in under your own weight, but you never touched the floor. Suddenly, you were leaning against Barry, who was now closely next to you and held you up with tender arms. 
Breathing heavily from the exhaustion, you could only look up at him and let him hold you. When your eyes met, he dedicated you the sweetest smile you had ever seen. It sent butterflies to your stomach.
“Hi” Barry whispered.
“Hi...” You clumsily held on to him. “Thanks”
“No problem” The way he was looking at you was flustering, but you didn't want him to stop. After all, you felt the same way. “Are you okay?” 
You opened your mouth, ready to reply, when Bruce cleared his throat. The two of you had definitely forgotten he was in the room. A smug smirk appeared on Bruce’s lips. He might not have foreseen that you and Barry would be so smitten, but he knew the speedster would sway your decision.
“He always pulls that trick” Barry apologized for him, letting go of you and causing you to yelp and wobble in your weakness. He was by your side again in the blink of an eye, offering you a chair.
“Is there any way we can change your mind?” Bruce calmly asked, watching as Barry took you by the arm and softly helped you sit.
“We can help you” The latter cheerfully said. “We’ll have your back!” 
You glared at Bruce, knowing full well this was right what he wanted. Well, maybe it wasn’t so bad. Knowing Barry would be there made you feel at ease, even if you had literally just met him. There was something special about him that made you trust him wholeheartedly. As well as that, something told you he trusted you too.
“Fine, but you have to help me train” You told Batman, still glaring at him. He only grinned.
“Alright!” Barry offered you his hand. “Welcome to the club, partner” 
You shook his hand, lingering in the touch as twin fond smiles appeared in your lips.
