-:“I’ve had a really rough day and I need you to make it better” Soft Prompts-:

By @me-writes-prompts

Person A comes stumbling home into Person B, and slumps down in their arms while Person B lovingly holds them.

“Oh god, it’s been such a hard day. I missed you so much.” They say as they kiss the living heck out of their partner and drag them to their bed.

Cuddles cuddles cuddles.

“You don’t know how much I wanted to be here, wrapped up in your arms.” “Shh, I’ve got you.” >>>>>>

“Can we please put on my favourite movie and snuggle up with hot chocolate?” “You don’t need to ask, love.”

When Person A comes home, they're surprised to see Person B cooking for them and they almost tear up.

Back hugs while they softly whisper in your ear and pepper you with kisses is all you could ever ask for.

“I’m sorry you had such a shitty day, what can I do to make it better?” “Sing for me, kiss me. Anything you do will make me feel better.”

Soothing messages<3333333

"Come here, let me take care of you." They say with a kiss on your forehead, nose and then finally your lips as you loose yourself in their arms.(AHHHHHH)

"Fuck, I'm so tired, baby." "Oh. We don't have to do this then." "But not tired for you, I want you right now. Please." They say as they pull their partner close and start marking their neck.

Need a Hand? Steve Harrington

Pairing: Steve Harrington x fem!reader; Y/n's perspective

Summary: You’re new to Hawkin’s currently moving into the new town. You’re on your way to your new apartment when your car runs out of gas. Little did you know how this shitty situation could turn around. 

WC: 1.3k

A/n: Hi!! My name is Jes and this is my first ever “fanfic” “imagine” type writing ever. I really hope you enjoy it. I have always wanted to start doing this but I never had the motivation, I usually am just a quiet lurking reader. I would love to have some moots, and I would love to keep writing. Feel free to message me ideas or even if you just want to talk!! I hope you like this. (: This is also my first post in 5 years so ahhhhhh

Of course the day I choose to move into my apartment in the small town Hawkins, Indianan just happens to be a dark cloudy rainy day. The rain was coming down relentlessly hammering against my windows, turning the town that absorbed it dull and bleak. 

This wouldn’t have caused me too much of an issue due to the insignificant amount of boxes I had in the back seat.. That is if my car didn’t start sputtering. 

‘Just great’ I thought to myself, I was about 10 minutes from my apartment and now I’m pulled over on the side of the road stranded. I glanced at my gas meter- My car has been causing me trouble recently but I thought it would make it through this move, then I was going to get it fixed. I guess not because 5 minutes ago it read that I had half a tank of gas, and now it’s on empty.

I stay sitting in my car for a moment watching my surrounding environment as I contemplate what I should do next. 

‘I could walk and get gas, I definitely can’t push my car, I could call a tow truck- No I can’t afford that… I could just stay here,’ I go over in my head.. None of these options I wanna do. I just wanted to get to my apartment, rent a movie from the Family Video store across the street, order food, and fall asleep to a crappy movie. My big plans have now been delayed. 

A few minutes went by, and I decided to start my treacherous journey to find a gas station in this dead ended town. I grabbed my purse and keys then slammed the door shut as I embarked on my adventure.

I was about 3 minutes into my walk down this straight dead road, my hair and clothes were already drenching wet as they were sticking to my skin, my face flushed from the cold. That’s when I heard the sound of an engine approaching nearby.

A maroon BMW slowed down next to me as the passenger side window rolled down revealing a handsome man, dark expressive brown eyes, gorgeous thick messy chestnut hair, he looked to be around my age, I was captivated by him, he was without a doubt beautiful.

“Hey,” He called out to me putting his car in park, “I’m assuming you’re not walking in the rain by choice.. Do you need a hand?” Typically I would call stranger danger and tell him to piss off, but something about his vibes felt like I could trust him- Though my judgment could also be clouded due to the fact that I no longer want to be walking in this rain, but oh well..

We make eye contact as I reply, “I actually could, my car ran out of gas and I have no clue where I’m going,” I chuckle out. 

“Hop in,” The mystery man replied back to me as he opened the passenger door from the inside. I don’t hesitate to come in and sit down, 

“Thank you so much, I’m so sorry about your seats I’m drenched-” He cuts me off before I can ramble on further,

“It’s okay, I knew what my seats were getting into when I invited you in.” He smiled at me laughing a little, “I’m Steve, Harrington by the way,” He said, holding out his hand. 

“I’m y/n, y/l/n,” I smile, shaking his hand back, “It’s nice to meet you Steve,”

“I’m assuming you’re new to town? I don’t think I’ve seen you around before”

“Oh yeah,” I reply, “Today’s my move in date.. And well, as you can see I’m not off to the smoothest start” I laughed a little, 

“No kidding” Steve chuckled to him a bit, “Well I have some gas in the trunk, I’ll take us back to your car and you’ll be on your way I guess.” I nodded in agreement, smiling at him once again before breaking eye contact.

Little did I know Steve was absolutely captivated by me, how I was still smiling and seeming so positive after everything that was going on. He wanted to get my car running again, but he wanted to keep talking to me, he wanted to get to know me, why I moved here, why I didn’t get my car fixed before the move, and why was I so willing to get in the car with him, he wanted to know every detail about me. He didn’t know why he felt this way, but something about me intrigued him, this felt different than any other interaction he’s had and he wanted to keep exploring it.

He drove us back to my car and parked behind mine, “Stay right here I’ll go fill it up real quick” I didn’t have time to protest before he left the car leaving me alone in the passenger seat, the rain singing to me as it bounced on the hood of his car. 

A couple minutes later a soaking wet Steve came back in the car, “Man it was pouring hard out there. Your car’s all full though” He commented.

My heart feels like it’s melting and all I can do is let out a small chuckle and smile at him- Why was he being so nice to me? Why wouldn’t he just make me fill up my own car? He really just let me hop a ride, gave me his gas, and stood out in the pouring rain to fill my car. I guess it doesn’t seem like an extreme gesture from an outside perspective, but from my perspective those gestures meant everything. I came from a place of nothing, grew up with nothing, absent parents, fake friends. It’s sad to say but this small moment with Steve I would cherish forever. 

“Thank you so much Steve, I seriously owe you one” 

Steve’s heart felt like it skipped a beat at those words, “It’s no problem, really. Can’t let a gal as pretty as you walk to destination of nowhere in the rain.” 

My face heats up at his comment, and I look down shyly smiling. He quickly follows up, “I’ll take you up on you owing me one though,” I make eye contact with him once again, curious with what he could possibly want from me,

“Yeah, what do you need, anything” I reply my face still burning up from this interaction, 

“Uh- Coffee would be great- But I don’t wanna bombard you with moving in you know- so whenever you have time-” I could tell he was nervous, but that made me feel good. I cut him off before he could continue blabbing, “Coffee would be great. This weekend? Saturday morning?” I stutter, he doesn’t hesitate to reply,

“Yeah- uh- that’s perfect,” He says, falling over his words. I grabbed a piece of paper from my bag before scribbling down my apartment address and phone number before handing it to Steve, “Here” I said not holding back my smile, 

“Thanks y/n, I will see you this weekend then” Steve replied holding the piece of paper tight in his hand but careful not to get it wet, 

“Thank you again Steve, for the ride and the gas, and again I’m sorry about your seats” I laughed a little. Steve took in my smile and laughter, he loved the way I said his name. It sounded natural when it came out of my mouth. To him it was such an innocent pure moment, he thought I was beautiful and kind, he wanted to spend more time with me but he knew I had to get started on moving in, and well, he didn’t want to push any boundaries with us just meeting and all,

“Anytime really, I’m just glad I could help” He doesn’t want to break eye contact, but it has to end eventually. I got out of the car, walking quickly back to mine before closing my door. Steve waited until I successfully started my car and drove off before he too left where we were parked. 

The whole way to the apartment he wouldn’t leave my mind, his kind gestures, his compliment to me, him wanting to see me again. Maybe this move wouldn’t be so bad after all.

notes: another update ahhhhhh!! just some more cutesy moments of my two favourite people ever <33 (they're so disgustingingly cute, it's making me sick)

previous chapter | next chapter

the week leading up to the quarter final unfolded like a warm breeze, carrying jamal and noelle’s secret relationship on it's gentle currents. stolen glances, whispered conversations, and fleeting touches became their language, spoken only to each other.

the boys had gotten back to camp sooner than expected, a 2 day break being more than enough. after what had happened at the movie night, where sophia and aaliyah found out that jamal was over they tried to milk noelle for any bit of information they could. but she was surprisingly calm about it, sending them looks of judgement for thinking that she'd do anything.

“I don't know where you think I'd get the courage for that,” she said, not looking up from her notes on the kitchen counter. “the most we did was fight over the popcorn.”

aaliyah leaned against the counter, her arms crossed over her chest as she tried to decipher noelle's attitude. she sent sophia a glance, the brunette merely shrugging. “and what about the denmark match? you do realise that there are pictures up of–”

noelle drew her lips into a thin smile, and finally looked up at her friends. “that was out of my control. but there's nothing going on, he's a good friend though. glad to know that I'll have some company back in munich when the tournament is over.”

aaliyah's eyes narrowed, her gaze lingering on noelle's serene expression. “you're awfully calm about this.”

her smile never wavered. “what's there to be upset about? we hung out, watched a movie. that's it.” she got back to her books, her focus solid. “and you can blame any of those denmark rumours on your boyfriend.”

they had no choice but to believe her because they knew how jittery she got when hiding something from them. but this was something that noelle wasn't ready to let out yet, so she put her discipline to the test and fought it out— because she'd like to enjoy the privacy for a bit longer.

the quarter final was looming, merely hours away when the three friends arrived in stuttgart after the 3 hour drive. the excitement was palpable, the town beautifully decorated with their county flag, performers in the streets, merchandise stalls and tourists all flooding the streets on the way to their hotel.

they didn't waste that much time with getting ready, their corresponding germany jerseys weighing a lot more than they hoped. naturally, they were anxious but tried to keep the mood as light as possible and before they knew it they were back in the stands.

as they took their seats, the electric atmosphere enveloped them. the stadium was a sea of german flags, with pockets of spanish supporters scattered throughout who were just as excited.

hand in hand, the three friends watched as the teams emerged from the tunnel with laser focus and silent prayers. someone caught noelle’s eye and she was quick to point him out with an eager finger. “it's the boy— the child!”

both aaliyah and sophia turned their attention to the moroccan 17 year old on the pitch, their eyebrows furrowed. “he looks so much younger in person,” sophia said with her mouth agape and the other two agreed before going silent to sing along to their national anthem.

the captains of the two teams shook hand and exchanged flags, quick to get into their positions and wait for the whistle to blow. noelle took a deep breath, her brief conversation with jamal on the phone the night before sitting on her chest.

he was nervous and called her after midnight for some reassurance. noelle as obviously still awake at that time, her laptop on her lap as usual as she carried on with her thesis. when she saw his name pop up on her phone she couldn't hide the smile on her lips and happily answered.

“can't sleep?” she asked when picking up, not even a proper greeting which caught the footballer by surprise, his silence answering her question.

“oh, so you can read minds?” he said playfully. “aren't you just full of surprises.”

a soft giggle left her lips and she got comfortable on the couch, pulling her knees to her chest. there was a beat of comfortable silence again, and she could already picture him staring at his ceiling.

“I'm assuming you called me because you're nervous for tomorrow.”

she heard his sheets shuffle from the other end of the line, his inevitable tossing and turning making her sad. “I'd be lying if i said that I wasn't,” he admitted, his voice low and introspective.

noelle's tone turned soothing, his need for comfort was the first thing on her mind. “you're prepared for this, you've got an entire team behind you.”

“I know,” he sighed. “it's just… this feels different. it feels like everything.”

her heart went out to him. she would never be able to understand the pressure that he was under, but even if her words eased his mind a bit, she'd be content. “you're going to be amazing. you always are.”

she bit her tongue, unsure if she was ready to admit anything more. “but just know that no matter what happens, it’s going to be okay. you had fun, and did all that you could with the rest of the team, okay?”

a groan was heard from his side, and jamal did all he could to suppress the smile on his face. he felt like a teenager. her words made him feel so safe. “you're killing me here. I don't know how long I can keep my mouth shut.”

noelle stifled a laugh, her fingers absentmindedly playing with the hem of her shirt. “it's been a week. if anyone asks, you're just a really good friend.”

“no, no, no. don't say that,” he teased, his voice playful. “you'll jinx me.”

noelle laughed. “I'm not superstitious, but if it makes you feel better, I'll knock on some wood.” she rapped her knuckled on the coffee table, knocking thrice.

“there, happy now?” she asked with an eye roll, earning a hearty chuckle from jamal.

“yeah, thanks for sacrificing your dignity for my sanity.”

she stifled a scoff. “anytime, superstar.”

“hey, watch it,” he teased. “I'm still your best friend, remember.”

her smile was sly, a tell tale that she was enjoying this more than she expected. “for now.”

his gasp on the other end of the line had her throwing her head back in laughter. “you're such a tease, you know that?”

her laughter was music to his ears. “you started it.”

the crowd's roar brought her back to reality, the match was underway and her attention was back on the pitch, her nerves resurfacing that she couldn't quite shake off. she had faith in the team, but there was always a need to be prepared for the worst. and knowing how bad this would affect the boys if they lost, they already had a plan.

germany were dominating the game, however spain made use of their possession and were ruthless on their wings. lamine yamal on the right and nico williams on the left were any defender’s worst nightmare, and rightfully so.

the weather was actually quite warm for once, the sun beating down on them that late afternoon. as germany maintained their aggressive pace, spain's swift counterattacks kept the german defence on high alert. the warm sun best down on the players, sweat-drenched faces etched with determination.

as the referee blew his whistle, signalling a brief water break, the players welcomed the respite from the scorching sun. germany and spain alike sought shade, guzzling water and towels to cool down.

the camera, seeking to fill the lull, panned across the stands. sophia, noelle, and aaliyah appeared on the massive screen, their faces beaming.

jamal's eyes, scanning the sidelines, locked onto the screen. noelle's image captured his attention.

her smile, radiant and carefree, stole his breath. for a moment, the fatigue, the pressure, melted away.

his lips curled into an unconscious smile. her eyes were sparkling as she spoke to her friends, laughing, unaware of her face on the stadium's screen. she wasn't known in the media, only surfacing these last few months because of the tournament and her connection to florian and kai.

she was private— a normal university student from munich who was part of a more popular circle. but they loved her. the media loved her, the photographers these 2 months were having a ball of time capturing candids of her at the matches.

she didn't mind of course, and bashfully welcomed the silent attention because there was no point in fighting it.

aaliyah's enthusiastic waving and sophia's bright grin surrounded noelle's serene image. she simply showed sophia something on her phone, a smile drawn to her lips as she effortlessly ran her fingers through her hair.

but jamal's gaze remained fixed on her, his jaw slacked and heart. the camera lingered, capturing his reaction. a fleeting glance and a soft smile. unaware of the audience, noelle's eyes shone with excitement.

the referee’s whistle pierced the air and the water break was over, the game commencing almost immediately and then reaching half-time with a 0-0 draw. the final score was actually unpredictable at this point, which only made it more nerve-wracking.

there wasn't much to do at halftime besides take pictures and update their socials, and pray that the second half of the match actually played in their favour. and so it did, for a good few minutes at least.

dani olmo managed to hit the back of the net, 10 minutes into the second half and awaken the entire stadium in a matter of seconds. the spanish supoorters were out of their seats, rejoicing at the tie breaker while the home side watched in agony.

the rest of the match was a nightmare, both teams played well and had their chances, but none of them managed to stand until florian's goal in the 89th minute to reclaim their spot and hope for a victory. but what this meant was that they were going into added time, and possibly a penalty shootout.

aaliyah was out of her seat with her roaring cheers as usual as she watched her boyfriend run up to kai and jamal to celebrate. it was a breath of fresh air to break the tie, a sign of hope and triumph that they could emerge victorious.

the final whistle blew to indicate another short break before extra time, the teams huddling together for their last pep talks and words of encouragement. then 120th minute rolled around and spain scored their winning goal, a punch in the gut to the home side as germany couldn't equalise.

as the final whistle pierced the air, the stadium's energy deflated, leaving behind a sea of mixed emotions. germany's dreams had been shattered, while spain's jubilation echoed through the stands.

aaliyah and sophia, rushed onto the pitch, embracing florian and kai in tight hugs, their boyfriends' faces etched with disappointment and pride.

jamal, however, stood apart, his gaze scanning the crowd until it landed on noelle. her eyes, brimming with empathy, locked onto his, and for a moment, the world around them melted away.

the distance between them seemed insurmountable, yet her gentle smile beckoned him closer. noelle navigated through the throng of people, her eyes never leaving his. as she reached him, his restraint crumbled, and he opened his arms, enveloping her in a warm embrace.

the stadium's noise receded, replaced by the gentle pressure of noelle's touch. jamal's face buried in her shoulder, seeking solace in her warmth. the world around them faded, leaving only the gentle rhythm of noelle's heartbeat.

"It's okay," she whispered, her voice a soothing balm to jamal's frazzled nerves.

for a fleeting moment, they stood there, lost in each other's eyes, the pain of defeat temporarily forgotten.

the camera's gaze, however, lingered, capturing the intimate moment. the media's whispers began, speculating about the nature of their relationship.

“I hate to ruin the moment right now but I have to tell the interviewers that you're my really good friend right?” he asked, his voice muffled as he hid futher in her shoulder.

a meek laugh left her lips and she hummed in response, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. “you can tell them that I'm your cousin too, but that's going to end badly eventually.”

they reluctantly pulled away from the hug, a shared soft smile in exchange for something more because there were still camera’s everywhere. suddenly, noelle felt a weight being dumped on her back, and to no ones surprise it was florian.

usually she would fight him off but today was an exception. she turned to face him properly and welcomed the embrace, his dramatic sighs and comments making it difficult for her to take the situation seriously.

“can you believe that referee?” he exclaimed, his voice dripping with frustration. “those calls were awful.”

noelle laughed, familiar with his post-match dramatics. “well, nothing you can do about it now.”

“we were robbed. daylight robbery!”

jamal was quick to interject, his brows furrowed as some of the staff members focus was on them, ready to capture any sort of reaction for an article headline. “dude, we lost. there's always next time, and they played a good game.”

florian scoffed as he let go of noelle, instead getting back to aaliyah who was more than welcome to comfort him. “the ref played an even better game then.”

“if any of this shit gets out tomorrow,” kai said, his face contorted with judgement with sophia at his side. “I will throw you under the bus so damn fast flo, I have no shame.”

after the interviews and getting their bags, and noelle's very random interaction with jamal's mother and siblings, the group was invited to a team after party. noelle heard “party” and immediately knew that she was staying in for the evening, locked up in her hotel room with room service and her thesis.

sophia and aaliyah were set after picking up florian and kai's luggage and setting it in their shared rooms, while jamal had his own. after a much needed shower and meal, noelle was sat comfortably underneath the hotel sheets, the tv playing in the background as she worked.

the soft glow of the hotel room's lamps enveloped her, creating a cozy sanctuary. she snuggled deeper into the plush sheets, her laptop open on her lap as she typed away on her thesis. the tv's gentle hum provided a soothing background noise, a welcome respite from the day's excitement.

she told sophia and aaliyah not to stay out too late, seeing as they actually had things planned for the following day. the response that she got was, “thanks, mother. let us know if we need to be back in time to milk the cows for breakfast.”

as she typed away on her thesis, the words flowing with ease and with more understanding than before she flipped through her notes for cross references and whatnot. the evening wore on, her focus waning from time to time but she pushed through, that was until an unexpected knock on her door made her halt.

her fingers hovered over the keyboard, her slight confusion piquing when she saw the time at the bottom of her screen. 11:23 pm. it was far too early for sophia and aaliyah to be home, and the party was still going strong.

having no other choice, she threw off her covers and padded to the door. she peered through the peephole, the familiar face making her heart leap as she quickly opened the door to reveal jamal stood outside in a pair of sweatpants and tshirt.

noelle eyed him for a moment. “did you just get out of the shower?”

he raised his eyebrows playfully and she took a step to the side so that he could come in. “I wasn't in the mood for people tonight.”

noelle locked the door and leant back on the door, her arms crossed for further explanation. a teasing hum left her lips and she nodded. “I'm 100% sure that I'm a person as well.”

jamal's eyes were drinking in every bit of her demeanour, and how comfortable she looked. “a person that I'll always be in the mood for. there's a difference.”

noelle's cheeks flushed as his words washed over her, their intensity making her heart skip a beat. she uncrossed her arms. her hands falling to her sides as she searched for a witty retort.

“charmer,” she whispered more to herself and made her way over to where he was sitting on the edge of the bed. she searched his eyes for answers, silently nitpicking at any sign for what he was really doing in her room this late.

he leant back on his hands, letting his gaze follow her every move with a gentle smile.

“you know what, since you're here you might as well— ah!”

before she could register, jamal's hands were on her waist, tugging her down onto the mattress beside him. her surprised laughter filled the room, jamal looking down at her with a playful smile. “you were going to invite me to stay weren't you?”

she rolled her eyes at the question, unbelievable. “maybe.”

he scrunched his nose, not too fond of the answer but he let it slide. his fingers gently traced her jaw before leaning in a bit more. noelle's eyelashes fluttered shut ans she titled her head upwards. the kiss was gentle, a soft brush of his lips against hers.

her hands drifted up, her fingers tracing the curve of his neck as he deepened the kiss, his arms wrapping around her. time melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the moment.

a giggle fell from noelle's lips and she swat him away to sit back in her original spot. she picked up her laptop and patted the spot beside her for him, an eager smile adorning his lips. “I have work to do but you're cute so you can stay.”

his eyes sparkled as he set beside her and she lifted her arm for him to take refuge under. he felt like a child, his heart pounding as he settled on her chest— his head resting on her shoulder.

as jamal settled into the warmth of noelle's embrace, he felt his entire being relax, like a sigh escaping from the depths of his soul. her arm wrapped snugly around him, a gentle anchor holding him fast, and he let himself be enveloped by her presence.

the soft rise and fall of her chest beneath his cheek was a lullaby, soothing his racing thoughts and calming his heart. the scent of her skin, a subtle blend of floral and sweetness, filled his senses, making his feelings swirl with tender intimacy.

his gaze drifted to the gentle curve of noelle's neck, the soft wisps of hair escaping her ponytail, and his chest swelled with emotion.

the sound of her typing was a gentle melody, a background hum that harmonised with the beating of his heart.

“you know for someone who’s never had a boyfriend before,” jamal broke the silence, his voice low. “you're really good at it.”

her lips pursed at the compliment, her cheeks growing warm because in actual fact, she had no idea what she was doing. “you're making it easy.”

In this quiet, sheltered space, noelle felt his defences dissolve, her guard dropping like a stone. she was vulnerable, open, and exposed – yet, paradoxically, she felt safer than he ever had before.

on the occasion he would take the liberty to point out a spelling error and joke about how he should've been an editor. noelle rolled her eyes at his gimmick, his gentle nature soothing. “you still haven't said anything yet.” she took a quick glance at the boy beside her. “about the match.”

a sigh left his lips, a telltale that he was trying to forget. “what's there to say? we lost, and the team is upset but it's normal. we’ve been here before.”

she didn't press the matter any further and placed a kiss on his temple, causing him to squirm beneath her grip in an attempt to hide his blush. noelle's soft laughter was a whispered caress against his ear. "aw, look at you getting all shy."

jamal's cheeks burned hotter, but he couldn't muster the energy to protest. being this close to her, feeling her warmth and affection, made his defences crumble.

as they settled back into comfortable silence, jamal's thoughts returned to the match. her gentle probing had uncovered a sensitive spot, but her quick retreat had soothed his frazzled nerves.

he appreciated her intuitive understanding, her ability to sense when to push and when to pull back. as the night wore on, Jamal's eyelids grew heavy, his breathing slowing. noelle's presence was a lullaby, rocking him into a peaceful slumber.

just before drifting off, he felt noelle's lips brush against his forehead, a soft whisper: "I'm glad you're here."

jamal's heart swelled, his thoughts muddled by sleep and emotion.

as noelle's lips brushed against his forehead, she felt a flutter in her chest, a delicate dance of emotions. happiness swirled with trepidation, like wisps of cloud entwining with sunshine.

her mind whispered doubts, faint but persistent: was she rushing into this? was she ready?

the fear of ruin lingered, a shadow in the recesses of her thoughts. what if their relationship imploded, leaving scars and shattered dreams?

but as she gazed at jamal's peaceful face, his features softened by sleep, her fears began to unravel. her thoughts drifted to the laughter they shared, the whispered secrets, and the quiet moments like this, wrapped in each other's arms.

she felt alive, her heart beating with a vibrancy she'd never known before.

she was scared, yes, but she was also open— open to the possibility of love, of heartache, of growth. the uncertainty was exhilarating, a rollercoaster of emotions she was willing to ride.

for the first time in her life, noelle felt ready to surrender to the unknown, to let go of control and trust the universe. she was falling, and she was terrified.

GENTLE GIANT SWAG BLUEBERRY BRACKET FINALS

THE IRON GIANT (the iron giant) vs BIG THE CAT (sonic the hedgehog)

Propaganda under the cut

Also extra propaganda is very much recommended, just don’t put it in the tags!

The iron giant

It's been ages since I've seen the movie, but I remember he's warm and gentle throughout the entire thing

love them/him/it/whatever so so sos so sososoosooo much. all my heart and soul. no one has ever been mroe good or more gentle or more beautiful than the iron giant. i cried literally about 2 and a half months ago just reading the wikipedia summary for the movie thats how strong the residual emotional residue of this movie i saw one time like a decade ago is. best fictional character ever. my one true love of my life ahhhhhh. thanks for definitely including him <3<3<3

Big the cat

His name is Big and he is big. He is also very nice and mostly just fishes with froggy and shows up places randomly :] I am thoroughly convinced Big has never done wrong in his life.

[gloriousburden]

i found ur blog like yesterday night while i was half asleep searching for idk what tag or user and one of ur takes came up, abt how u find fanfics where he's called daddy ooc and i just really agreed and i found it rare and refreshing that ur like a younger fan/gen z, like me. i was 19 not too long ago and i feel like all the younger loki fans tend to see him as some random dudebro, especially the way they get rid of his archaic manner of speaking, suddenly hes all "gonna" "wanna" lol, i get the ick especially when he says "babe" or "baby"...anyways my point is i rlly like ur acc and ur takes, and im not often on tumblr and kind timid tbh so im now a new anon on here! -nonie (idk what emoji to use for myself ahaaa)

Hi Nonie I love you 💜

Yeah, I’m 18, but I find myself completely disagreeing with a lot of the takes that Loki fans my age make. I find myself agreeing more with older/OG fans, which is why I stick to Tumblr.

That is so fucking true LMFAOOOO. I really can’t stand the way younger Loki fans see him as if he is modern human/a dudebro and not an ancient god based off of Norse Mythology. His ass would NOTTTTTT want to be called daddy. His ass would not call you “baby”/“babe.”

like I really fell in love with Loki because he was so different and was so unique from other characters. What made him stand out? Obviously how well he was written, but.. also how he was played. The way he spoke. The Shakespearean manner… AHHHHHH 😭❤️ he is really the love of my life omg 😞❤️

Younger fans tend to have the worst takes on him ever because I guess he’s one of the first fictional characters they’re getting into, and he’s pretty complex when compared to other characters so you get “Erm. He’s so innocent and never wanted to hurt anyone ever 😞” and “Also guys… he’s 17 and speaks like an anime character..” 😀

Which honestly, I actually don’t get why. I was quite young when I became a Loki fan, and I understood his character even then. Hmm, maybe some of us are just blessed with that ability idk…

I’ve always hated the fanon impression of Loki. Like did we watch the same movies? Please leave Loki alone and find another character if you’re going to mischaracterize him that much. That’s not even Loki anymore. We’ve been blessed with such an interesting and complex character, and people try and make him into something he never was.

Like why is he an Avenger who speaks like an anime character and is a daddy dom WE ARE LOSING THE PLOT! WE HAVE LOST EVERY ASPECT OF THE PLOT!

Whenever I watch any of the movies Loki is in and he speaks in such an archaic manner… AHHH *bursts into tears* he’s just everything to me. I love how he speaks and I understand that it’s hard to write it when compared to a character who speaks in a more modern manner (which tbh is why I don’t really post fics LOL), but you can at least try to keep it a little accurate 😞 AT LEAST HAVE HIM SPEAK LIKE A POSH BRIT RATHER THAN AN AMERICAN!!!

MY SHAKESPEAREAN MELODRAMATIC LOVE OF MY LIFE 😭😭😭😭😭

TikTok is hell. I don’t know if it’s because they’re not as serious about Loki as I and others are, or if it’s because they’re younger, but… the takes that they have on him are horrendous. The headcanons… the ignorance… the taking fanon as canon… the misinformation… confusing OG Loki with TVA Loki…

Loki kind of has the worst fanbase ever, I’m not going to lie.

Also his ass would not listen to Taylor Swift. JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE!

[angelfiedyaz]

Here's my Sweeny todTodd Davey rant

so if davey is humming "nothing's gonna harm you" obviously he must know Sweeny Todd (or just at least let me imagine) So my Headcannons is that it's one of Angels fav movies or that they just love Tim Burton movies and one day they ask to watch it with David and to their suprise it's one of his secret favourite movies so obvi Angel is ecstatic about this and they watch it and they dress up as Sweeny and Ms Lovett for Halloween one year and AhHHhHh I love them so much (I will be drawing this upon request!) Also 'nothing's gonna harm you' is definetly of Angels comfort songs now or it already was, it's on their sleep playlist and when they have nightmares or can't get to sleep Davey will sing it or hum it to them since it calms them down and puts them to sleep straight away, as usual Davey NEVER admits this

[anythingforstories]

Okay, so I liveblogged my reactions to reading LOTR; now I'm watching the movies and figured I'd share my reactions.

(I had planned to wait a bit before watching the movies, but I keep seeing screenshots that make me think different elements are pulled out and emphasized, and I'm fascinated to see how they take the same base story and present it in this different medium. So here I am. XD)

...

The Fellowship of the Ring

Ooh, I like the narrator lady's voice.

Is that an orc? They're terrifying!

Also, Sauron looks less terrifying than my mental image while reading the books showed.

I fear I might get jumpscared by Gollum. The way he flicked his head around? And they got the glow of his eyes so well!

(Also, it's so fitting that LOTR starts with several minutes of backstory infodumping. I think Tolkien would've been disappointed by anything less. XD)

Ahhhhhhh the hobbits seem extra charming!

"If you're referring to the incident with the dragon, I was barely involved." OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH THAT'S A LOTR QUOTE!!

Ahhhhhh the Nazgûl are so creepy! I mean, I knew they were creepy in the books too, but they feel extra creepy now that I see them on screen.

Ahh! Got jumpscared by Gandalf. (I'm easily startled.)

Oooh! I was hoping they'd do this—mix in the scenes with Gandalf's meeting with Saruman instead of him just recapping it much later. I felt as I read the books that it would have been better pacing (or at least, I should say, better pacing to my modern sensibilities as a reader—I shouldn't assume that the original audience back then consumed media exactly the same way as people do now).

I need to rewatch part of this scene again because all I can do is chuckle at Merry-Go-Gandalf.

Annnnnnd just got startled by Merry and Pippin. X'D

My goodness they got to Bree quickly! *flashes back to weeks of reading* I feel that a lot of characterization got skipped over, but also, the movies may find other ways to thread that in—plus it may take a slightly different spin on the characters.

(Am slightly disappointed that Merry and Pippin did not get nearly eaten by a tree. Pity, that.)

But also, that lower, hobbit-sized window in the door? PRECIOUS!

SECOND BREAKFAST SCENE YESSSSSSSS

Hmm. The orcs are smaller than I'd imagined. (Still quite scary tho) Though I guess to a hobbit they would seem quite a bit larger.

I had wondered if Aragorn was going to look too kingly to pull of the Strider side of him, but he does it quite well!

The working conditions in Isengard are not OSHA compliant.

Oh, that's a— that's a big scary orc!

Arwen! I was not expecting that. Like, at all. (Movie Arwen is so epic. I love her.)

Ahhhhh! One does not simply walk into Mordor!

The Council of Elrond is much more chaotic than in the books. XD

AHHHH Bilbo gave me a half jumpscare there.

Their journey seems so much less cold and miserable in the movies compared to the books. XD

OSHA violations. OSHA violations everywhere. (I know they don't have OSHA there but I'd like to think they had a Middle Earth equivalent with the exact same requirements anyway because it adds a significant layer of mirth to the situation, so we are moving forward under the assumption that they do.) Look at this. Look at it.

I know Saruman is tall, but that guardrail can't be the required 42 inches. And I highly doubt that he filed the necessary paperwork for an exemption.

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH How did I miss the significance of the password being "Friend" in Elvish? Because it's a dwarven mine but the elves were friends—the way the movie hovered on Gimli for a second there made it hit me like a ton of bricks because I started wondering, "I wonder what this means for him?" I love how different storytelling forms can draw things out!

(Adding in a parenthetical while circling back after the first movie ended—I do wish they'd put a little more focus on Legolas and Gimli's relationship changing. But even so.)

CAVE TROLL JUMPSCARE! (Yes, yes, I know, I totally expected that... but it scared me nonetheless. I fear I would not do well watching a horror movie.)

The dwarves also have no regard for Middle Earth OSHA. No handrail at all on that bridge??

Also, THIS was much closer to my mental picture of the scene (prior to reading LOTR) than the book had. Perhaps I've seen enough screenshots over the years that it worked its way in. XD

I wasn't sure at first what I thought of Aragorn knowing that Frodo was going off alone and sending him off. But after thinking it over, I think that him letting the great source of power go away fits within the thematic context of the movie very well. That, and the fact that the movie has fewer layers of complexity surrounding their route make it just make sense that they handled it this way.

And also, it's twice now that I've cried during the death of Boromir.

I really like the way The Fellowship of the Ring ended here—I mean, yes, it's the same as the book. But the pacing and cinematography was great!

Also, beautiful credits music.

Overall, I really enjoyed this adaptation. It does remove some complexity, but it also adds some other details and complexities that the books just gloss over entirely. If I were looking for a 1:1 copy, I would probably find myself disappointed by the movies. But as it is, I'm happy as long as a movie holds true to the spirit of the source material. I think that the movies nicely take and build upon the themes of the books in a way that makes sense for the storytelling medium. And that's a good adaptation.

(Watched some scenes from the extended edition the next day. The extra scenes definitely hit on some of the character moments more! I like the tiny bits it shows between Legolas and Gimli.)

The Two Towers

Gandalf: A sword won't help you now Also Gandalf: *dramatically grabs sword while falling and proceeds to repeatedly whack the Balrog*

How deep did those dwarves dig??

Awww, poor Gimli, trying to keep up on his little legs

AHA! "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!"

See this Saruman?

See the very nice guardrail system in Mordor? When MORDOR has better workplace safety standards than you, that means you're doing something wrong.

Ewwwww Grima is so creepy! (Excellently done.)

"We ain't had nothing by maggoty bread for three stinkin' days!" OOOOHHHH it's like the Sporks in VeggieTales Lord of the Beans (which, until I read the book mere weeks ago, was the most exposure I had to the entirety of the LOTR plot XD)

Can we talk about the environmental irresponsibility of leaving a bunch of still-burning orcs in the middle of the grasslands? Like, are they TRYING to start a wildfire??

(I think that watching it already knowing what happens next is making it much less scary and suspenseful. XD)

OH NO I DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO GET CHASED BY ANOTHER ORC!!

SARUMAN!! Whaaaaaaaaa?

Oh, apparently not. Scratch that.

SHADOWFAX!! ❤️❤️❤️

The best anti-aging regimen is the Saruman cleanse

Now, see this? Complete lack of adequate fall arrest systems (as evidenced by the blurry man mid-fall).

With the elephant being just a little bit agitated, people are falling left and right, even without being shot first. Simply poor form in terms of personnel management—believe it or not, if your people are dying without the enemy even needing to be involved, it reduces your numbers. *mind blown*

I know some people dislike any deviation from the books, but I'm quite intrigued by Aragorn going cliff jumping. I honestly don't have any guesses about how or when he'll return, but I'm riveted.

One thing this is doing really well is showing the ugliness of war—especially as children are being outfitted with armor.

Was not expecting elves, not gonna lie.

Also, this lack of a handrail?

Middle Earth OSHA Inspector: *lets out deep sigh and rubs forehead*

(To be fair, they might actually have a pass as it's clearly meant for military use, and the military does not answer to OSHA. Saruman and the Dwarves, however, do not have a pass. Isengard might have raised up an army, but it was not a legal military entity.)

I'm not sure I like movie Faramir. His whole thing was not wanting the ring, y'know?

Oh, okay, good, he passed the test, all is good, he's a solid dude after all. Still prefer book Faramir.

WHAT, NO SPIDER LADY?? I MUST WAIT FOR SPIDER LADY?

(After watching the extended scenes, I like movie Faramir a touch more. But book Faramir is a paragon of virtue.)

The Return of the King

(I'm watching the extended edition right off for this one. Four hours, twenty-three minutes, five seconds, let's GOOOOOOOO!)

Worm. (Dat's me when I see a cool worm.)

The speed of how fast Smeagol was corrupted really puts into perspective how long Frodo and even Boromir held out.

(Also they way I felt during that whole bit of his backstory is proof that I REALLY wouldn't do well in horror movies X'D)

Oh good. I would've been disappointed if they'd cut out the scene with Merry and Pippin greeting them.

"I feel something. A slight tingle in my fingers! I think it's affecting me." "He can't hold his liqueur." *clunk* X'D

Sam is the MVP for sure. (Well, either Sam or Gollum's well-placed, ever-present loincloth. It has served us well.)

I can really feel for Elrond here. He wants nothing more than to protect Arwen, but she will never be happy if she lives an eternity of regret. </3 But she's his child.

"In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all." XD

Hmm, wonder what Pippin's up to.

If I was trying to do a sneak attack, I would simply not have torches lit. They don't even need that many torches. It's just for the vibe. (No trust me I'm on the edge of my seat here; just had to get that thought out.)

Oooooh, that's what Pippin's up to!

Poor Faramir :( Denethor's hateable side is really coming out here. Even the cinematography zooming in on the nice meal he's having in the safety of his castle while sending his son to likely death. Excellently done.

Oof, I would simply Not Sleep There. I mean, I sleep on a top bunk without a rail every night, but the stakes are much lower.

Gollum driving Frodo and Sam apart really adds to the tension (and hurts my heart!)

"War is the province of men, Éowyn." Mmmm, I love a good conversation where the people are talking about one thing but really talking about another.

Slightly disappointed that Merry isn't going to spend the two-day ride thinking Éowyn is some bloke named Dernhelm. But the smile of realization and the "My lady" made up for it.

*aggressively blows ghosts away*

You know, until I finished reading the books last month, I had NO IDEA that ghosts played such a pivotal role in LOTR. Or any role, actually. It just never made it into the spoilers.

Almost-buried-in-skulls is another LOTR thing I never knew about.

I actually didn't expect them to do the heads catapult thing in the movies. Another case of showing the horrors of war well!

Go Gandalf! (Seeing someone beat up Denethor is quite satisfying.)

See, an orc just fell off the side of that siege tower without even encountering battle. Why? No handrail. (Again, Middle Earth OSHA doesn't have jurisdiction here since it's an army, but even so, this is why there ought to be better safety systems all around.) AND THEN some soldiers of Gondor fell too! Handrails, people, HANDRAILS!

SPIDER LADY COMING SOON!! :D

SPIDERRRRRRR LADDDDYYYYYY!!!!

"It will soon be over." The depth of the portrayal of those lines </3

THE RETURN OF THE SPIDER LADY!!

YESSSSSSS I was worried for a few minutes there that the movie would gloss over Sam's moment of glory. I worried in vain!

(Watched through the entire rest of the battle with no recorded reactions because I was too busy being riveted and sometimes crying, so now I'm at the part with the orcs fighting in the tower and I SWEAR next time I watch this, I'm going to do a preventable-fall-death count.

Poor Sam. His whole role in the movie is running up stairs for Frodo.

THOSE ARE THE TWO MOST ADORABLE ORCS I HAVE EVER SEEN!

(Coming back later to add in: The FOR FRODO charge. The hope against all odds. The stubborn refusal to give up courage. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.)

I'll excuse the lack of fall prevention system inside Mt. Doom because it's ancient and Middle Earth OSHA didn't exist yet when it was built, probably, so it's grandfathered in.

Can't say much about the rest except that I cried a lot more than I thought I would. I think I'll have to make whole posts for each element instead of trying to include it here.

.

.

.

(Also despite my earlier predictions, I was not jumpscared by Gollum even one single time.)

Love Sea Ep 2 Watch Along

I am a couple days late because migraines suck, but I'm finally sitting down to watch ep 2. I'm gonna try to gives some first inpressions here, but we'll see how we go.

-Opening shot and I accidentally caught crew in the back of the boat. Hehe...whoops. Can't always catch that.

-When he says "what this man's sex taste like" does he mean literally or figuratively??? Like...I'm just not sure if it's wonky translation, or ???

-Okay, but the way Mut put's their legs together, but keeps their torso's apart....like touching, but not invading Rak's space....that's kinda hot.

-I do come from a seafood family, literally my maternal grandparents ran a seafood restaurant for over a decade, but I'm not a seafood person, so I kinda feel like the food stuff is going over my head.

-Like...I knew it was gonna happen, but I'm still blushing so hard. That eye contact is DANGEROUS.

-Peat's muscles!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

-Literally Rak is so cranky that he hurt himself and cut off sexy time. His grumpy face.

I love Mook so much. I would die for her, she's so precious.

Are those generic baby shark bandaids??

I love how quickly Rak takes advantage of the loophole Mut presents him with. He immediately is like "you are correct, this is not my bed, let's bang!" (Also I fucking loved this line in the trailer. It's quippy, it's clever, Fort delivers it so well. Perfection.)

I mean...if your gonna engage in sexy time on the beach...oral would be your best option, so....

Jesus with the leg over the shoulder....goddamn.

Those hips are moving quite a lot Rak, be careful with Mut, you don't want to break him.

The mouth wipe.....I'm dying. I will say the timing was a bit fast there at the end, but like...legit portrayal of oral, and not just vaguely refering to it is new in Thai BL, so props for that. (Also it was one of my bingo squares. Yay me.)

I was predicting the whole "I'm inspired, we gotta go back to my room right now", but that did not stop it from being funny as hell.

Is Tongrak basically Mame's self-insert?? I just thought about this, bc they used the MMY logo for the fake website, probably just so they didn't have to bother with getting a non-copywritten one, or pay to use a real one, but like I just thought about this, since he's a writer who writes Y-Series, and part of what P'Vie does (I'm pretty sure) is make them into shows.... fascinating to consider.

We do see the cover for The Boy Next World, both the BN one and the orignal manga-style one...interesting.... As well as the cover for Love Director, which is one of the novels directly related to the LITA side of the Mame-verse....also interesting.

Rak's fake insta is hot. I tell you what, Mame shows got their issues, but costuming is pretty much always on point.

Okay so P'Vie is an actress...still involved with Rak's shows, but not the director I guess.

I really do get distract by how pretty Peat's eyes are.

Okay, Though he was just showering, but then I saw the motion... the blushing begins again. (Look I know I've written smut, and I watch BL, but I'm still Ace, so a lot of times my reaction is very Edwardian noble lady. I'm sorry!)

No, but I paused it to write that last sentence and the look on Rak's face!!!!

Rak is very bite-y. It suits his character, really. I Like it.

That was....very athletic.

I have thoughts about the sex scene. I'll save those for the 'Thoughts' post though.

I do think it's funny that Rak is so disturbed because the sex was good. That's funny.

Side note, I know this is an adult show, it includes a lot of adult themes, but somehow the Hallmark Movie-ness of Mame's shows makes it feel very weird when people cuss. Like, it feels odd for Rak to say Fuck there. It somehow just gives the vibe of 'see how grown-up we are with the cussing'. IDK if that makes sense, or if anyone else feels that way.

Mook's reaction to the forehead kiss is so cute, but P'Vie's got two episodes to get her act together, or I'm gonna start to dislike her.

I still don't remember the name of Mut's friend (I'm sorry) but I do think he's very funny. The actor is doing a very good job.

I know IRL, I would hate the entitledness/possessive-ness of Rak, but that was kind hot.

I love how amused Mut is by Rak. It's one of the things that feels like Fort peeking through tbh.

Oops...none of us did consider that a considerably long motorbike ride the day after some pretty vigorous back door sex may not be the best idea. But also, I feel like this is part of why prep/aftercare is important, and they (meaning BLs) should focus on it more. Like it's wouldn't fix everything, but it would help.

Oh, I really do like Mut's friend...who's name is Palm....I will try to remember.

I doubt this was Mame's intention, but I do appreciate the discussion of how franchised tourism can be harmful to local residents.

Sweet Mut so shy about taking genuine compliments. That's so cute.

Oh I'm familiar with that kind of manufactured flippancy when it comes to speaking about family ties that have been broken.... there be trauma there mateys.

God I have a lot of incomplete thoughts about this scene. I'm gonna have to rewatch and break it down later.

Oh, Rak is 100% a self-insert.

I do wonder when we're gonna get more info regarding that first thought about escaping though. It feels like Rak is trying to keep things surface level, but is accidentally revealing more than he intends.

I respect the attempt to get info out of Kom. I also respect Connor for not giving any.

I'm excited for the diving and underwater shots, but Rak--why the fuck are you wearing a small fortune in high-end designer jewelery for that?? like, leave that shit in your room dude.

Also, I've officially decided I love Palm and his doofus-energy. I will now protect him with my life.

God Bless Wetsuits! Amen!!

Sir what the fuck are you doing???? If this were a different couple I'd say Rak is well on his way to a spanking.

But also, this is so pretty,

Flashback!!! Yes, another bingo box, but also...why do drama parents always break up directly in front of their kids?

There's a metaphor happening about not diving alone and the flashbacks and reconciling his traumas in relation to love/trusting men (in a romantic way)....my brain is too stupid to make a cohesive explanation, but it's there.

I love the way Mut just looks at Rak... like it's fascinating how much Fort is able to portray with his gaze. I thought that during LITA, but it's confirmed here. Because, yes the longing/loving gaze is alive and well, but you can see the concern, the confusion, even the questioning that's happening. It's wild.

Well that's all for the episode. I'll probably rewatch tomorrow and thry to organize my thoughts into something vaguely cohesive, but no promises. Despite the very swift jump into the sex, we got a lot of insight today, into to both of them really.

[castleaudios]

AHHHHHH THEY FINALLY TOLD HER!

QUESTION OF PAIN:

How often has poor Abby had to deal with people being shitty, that she is ready to believe that her best friends would bring her all the way over to somewhere, plan an entire event, just to make fun of her (like some sick teenage prank from a horror movie)?

Abby is a goddamn treasure and she deserves better.

QUESTION OF POTENTIAL PAIN:

Rose came out in middle school. How'd her parents handle that? Or did they just not care about anything regarding her or her personal life so long as it didn't get in the way of using her powers for their own gain?

QUESTION(S) OF NO PAIN, ONLY CUTE:

3. So where did they all end up sleeping? 😏 Any accidental cuddles take place?

4. How long *did* Abby keep them up with questions? Lol

5. Did Exscaleibur get more cuddles and treats?

6. Who's in charge of breakfast in the morning?

Much love to you gorgeous, thank you so much for your amazing content and all the hard work you put in!

OKAY PAIN TO NO PAIN HERE WE GO!

Abby was always the more extroverted and loud kid growing up. She had a huge family so she literally grew up needing to be loud, but the rarely translated well to a school setting. She got picked on a lot as a kid, mainly people pretending to be interested in her hobbies only to laugh in her face once she started ranting about things. She had a strong support system at home so she got through middle and high school, but the memories of those "jokes" always left a scar in the back of her mind.

They genuinely didn't care who Rose was interested in. When Rose came out, her parents saw it as an act of rebellion, nothing more. So they simply made her so busy that she wouldn't have time to explore that part of herself. There was no use to let her date anyone that wasn't going to improve their social and financial standing. Crushes would simply be a distraction that had to be avoided.

Abby and Dear wound up falling asleep on each other on the couch while Rose fell asleep in the recliner chair, but not before laying a blanket over the both of them.

Abby kept them up for a few hours after the audio ended, but they ended up watching a movie together to cool down from all the questions.

Exscaleibur was brought back out and got all the snuggles from Abby! As he deserves

Abby woke up first and made breakfast for everyone!

Mysterious Potions - Male TF

"I can't believe the rumours about the boss's secret lab were true!" Dave said excitedly as he walked into a futuristic looking lab.

"Ya, I mean, why the hell does a politician need a secret lab." Paul responded.

"He's a politician, you never know what kinda shady shit he'll get into."

"Maybe its a futuristic sex dungeon or something."

Dave winced, "You're disgusting!"

Both men wandered around, touching everything in sight. Eventually, they stumbled into a large room lined with shelves. Each shelf is labeled with a name and filled with colourful jars of liquid.

"What do you think a politician needs all this for." Dave questioned.

"Do you think they do anything?" Paul retorted.

"What would they do, they're just jars of... something."

"Like, if they're potions. Maybe it's like the Scooby doo movies and they change us into funny things."

"Don't be ridiculous, they're probably just decorations." Dave laughed.

"You wanna bet on it." Paul taunted Dave.

"I'll put a fifty on it, nothing happens if we drink one." Dave said while grabbing two potions off the shelf.

"Whoa, what do you mean we."

"If I'm drinking a mystery potion that could give me cancer, you have to too." Dave pressured Paul.

"Fine, it's only fair."

Dave confidently took a swig, assuming he would get a free fifty bucks out of it. Paul paused for a moment, then chugged his potion as well. A few moments passed, and Dave broke the silence.

"See, I told you it would b -SNOOORT!!!-" Dave hiccuped. "I told you nothing w -SNOOORT!!!-" Dave hiccuped again.

All of a sudden, Dave felt his stomach drop as his body began to change. His gut began to grow, he did have a slight beer belly ever since he got his last promotion, but what started as a modest belly quickly turned into a ball belly that made him look pregnant. His gut had completely ridden up his shirt to the point that it looked like a bra, exposing his deep belly button. This didn't last as his pecs began to grow and soften, they grew to the point of ripping right through the remainder of his shirt. His pecs started to look more like tits, then fattened to the point of laying on his gut. Even his nipples had swollen and grown.

"What is -SNORT- happening to me -SNORT-" Dave said as he cupped his growing tits.

Unfortunately for him, the transformation had only just begun. As fat piled into the rest of his body, his face began to change. His jaw extended into a snout as a pig nose formed at the end of it. Two of his bottom teeth formed into small tusks, sticking up out of his snout. The top of his head shrunk slightly as all of his hair fell out, leaving his jaw much larger than the rest of his head and his ears migrated upward and pointed out.

The rest of his body filled out. His arms thickened as his hands grew massive with fingers that resemble stuffed sausages. Love handles spilled out over his pants as the definition in his back disappeared under a thick layer of fat rolls. His ass and thighs plumped up with pounds and pounds of fat, ripping through his pants and leaving him completely naked. He attempted to hide his privates, but with his gut and fat pad engulfing his dick, it's not like Paul would be able to see much anyway. He was knocked off balance as his feet turned into massive hooves, breaking through his shoes. As a final touch, thick hairs grew on his cheeks and chin, leaving him with mutton chops and a goatee.

Dave and Paul stood there for a moment in shock before Paul burst out in laughter. "HAAA!! It turned you into a fat pig. And I thought you were fat before. Ahhhhhh ooook ooook Aaahhhhhhkkkk!!!" Paul yelled out in laughter. "I wouldn't -snort- talk so soon if I were you Harambe." Dave snorted, looking at the dark hair growing all over Paul's body.

Paul's transformation accelerated quickly, within moments he had already grown a significant amount of hair all over his body. His body thickened as his muscles exploded, his shoulder broadened, his chest puffed out, and his arms grew massive, ripping right through his shirt. His hands grew three fold, with a wide palm and thick fingers. He grew at least a foot taller, maybe even a foot and half taller, and his upper body had grown completely out of proportion with his lower body. His pants got tighter and tighter until they exploded, exposing his thick hairy legs. His shoes burst open as his feet widen and his toes elongate into finger, resembling his hands.

Paul lurched over onto all fours, his arms growing to be able to reach his knuckles to the floor. Meanwhile, his pecs grew into two muscly mounds and his stomach distended into a muscle gut as his skin thickened and darkened. His chest, stomach, hands, and face grew a thick leathery layer of skin as it became a dark grey colour.

His face began to change. His face became more pointed as his lower jaw widened and the top of his head thinned. The hair on his head thickened and became a dark black as it spread around his face, giving him a thick beard that connected to the hair covering the rest of his body. His nose wrinkled up until it was just two nostrils and his brow bone thickened.

Once the transformation subsided, Dave spoke up. "You know, for such a big guy, you got a tiny pecker."

Paul stood straight up, all 8 feet of him, and stood over Dave. "Wanna say that again fat boy. Besides Gorillas have small dicks, it's like a thing."

Dave just snorted and backed off. "Anyway -snort- help me find a reverse potion or something -snort-, I think this potions rubbing off on me, I'm getting hungry."

"Oh c'mon, have some fun with it. Look, these potions were under 'animal'. Maybe we can have some fun with some other categories." Paul said excitedly.

"That's coming from the one who didn't turn into a fat pig."

"Ooook look at this, it's a video game section, maybe you'll turn into Nathan Drake or something."

"I don't know who that is!' Dave retorted as he tapped around on his hooves, trying to find a reverse potion.

"He's hot, that's all you need to know, just try it." Paul said as he threw a potion at Dave and chugged his own. Dave quickly chugged his, just happy to be anything but a pig.

These transformation took shape much quicker than the last. Paul's proportions returned to those of a human, but his stature and musculature remained quite large. His skin lightened to a greenish colour as the hair reced from his body. His face regained most of its human definition, with a big angular nose and a strong jawline, but kept the prominent brow bone. He grew a sharp red beard and bushy red eyebrows before long locks of bright red hair grew from his head. Paul looked down and lifted the cloth that had formed around his waist, chuckling in a deep voice at the sight of his 10 inch package.

Paul looked up in time to see Dave's soft body begin to change. He twitched for a moment before a red, black, and white costume formed around him. His arms and legs compressed into a tight thin consume that hugged his now human looking limbs. His chest also seemed to compress into the suit but a beach ball shaped belly remained underneath. A white mask with a red symbol on it appeared on his face as a large pompous collar appeared around his neck.

"Of course you still get the hot one. I do feel really confident in myself for some reason." Dave said, muffled by his suit.

"That's because your Master Kohga." Paul said in a baritone voice.

"I bet he's a really cool guy." Dave tried to do a pose but lost his balance.

"He's actually kinda pathetic, he's funny though... In a laughing at you not with you way though."

"Damn, what kinda asshole did you transform into?"

"I am Ganondorf, I'm like the villain."

"That adds up." Dave said while trying and failing to do poses in the mirror.

"Let's try and find some more potions, if I stay as Ganon any longer I'm worried about what I might do to you."

"Oh please tell." Dave said intrigued. He looked down a caught a glance at a bulge forming under Paul's cloth. "That cloth leaves nothing to the imagination." Dave blurted out without thinking.

"Just drink this!" Paul grabbed the closest potion to him and shoved it in Dave's face before chugging one for himself.

"What if I like being being me!" Dave responded.

"Oh shut up!" Paul yelled as he lifted Dave's mask and poured the potion in his mouth.

Paul essentially reversed his last transformation. His skin turned beige as brown hairs erupted all over his body. His upper body and arms grew massive in proportion with the rest of his body. His feet turned back to hands and his face grew a massive jaw with cartoony eyes and a swirly tuffed of hair. Finally a red tie formed around his neck with the initials DK written on them.

Dave quickly burst out of his suit, again sporting a massive gut. His arms and legs thickened as his hands and feet began to change. His hands lost one finger each as each remaining finger elongated and sharp claws emerged at the ends. Similarly, his feet were left with only three toes each with sharp claws at the ends. His skin turned scaly and green as gold formed over his gut and chest, even forming around his belly button. Finally his face began to change drastically. His face stretched into a long snout with rows of sharp teeth and a long pointy tongue. His eyes grew into large cartoony eyes, with one being significantly bigger than the other. And a gold crown formed on his bald scaly head.

"Why do I have to be a fucking gorilla again, what are the odds I pick two gorilla potions!" Paul yelled.

"Huh, you kinda sound like Seth Rogan. And at least you don't have to be the fat one everytime, I got three fatasses in a row!" Dave complained.

"At least you get to be the funny fatasses. King K Rool is a great character."

"Well I'm done being video game characters, let's move on." Dave said while wadeling over to the shelf of potions to browse.

Paul began to browse too, coming across a section labeled 'Festive'. "Oh I'd bet anything he'll get Santa if I give him one of these." Paul said laughing under his breath.

"Hey try this one." Paul said shoving the potion in Dave's chest.

"I don't trust you, you picked out some wierdo category didn't you!'

"Well if did, were both going down." Paul said as he pointed to the shelf where he grabbed both potions.

Both men chugged their potions and waited. Almost instantly, Dave's scaly green skin reverted back to human looking skin. Although his skin appeared to be old and wrinkly. His hands and feet started to look normal again, though they still appeared large and plump. His snout turned back into a human face, but that of an old man. He had crows feet around his eyes with big grey bushy eyebrows, his cheeks puffed up and his jawline disappeared under a couple double chins. Most of his face became covered in white hairs until he sported a long white beard. Short white hairs covered his head as his gold crown turned into a red and white hat. Long grey hairs covered his saggy body as a red robe appeared around his body.

Soon after, Paul's body began to transform. His body began to shrink as his proportions became more human. His face shrunk until he had the chiselled face of a muscular man. His arms and legs shrunk until they were quite small, but still defined. His body followed suit, shrinking down until he had a normal sized chest and chiselled abs. As his body continued to shrink past 6 feet, hair began to grow all over his body. He grew a thick bushy beard and his chest, abs, and back got covered in thick dark hairs. He shrunk until he was 4 feet tall as a green robe and hat appeared on his body.

"You motherfucker! You knew this would happen!" Dave yelled while trying to tie his robe around his gut.

"Hahaha! It was under the festive section, I was willing to bet it would turn you into Santa." Paul said in a slightly high pitch voice.

"Santa needs to lay off the god damn cookies, I can't even tie my own robe."

"That's a shame for both of us, the view from down here is not pretty." Paul said staring at Dave's crotch.

"Then why are you looking!" Dave attempted to cover up his body with the robe. "Also. If we both took the festive potion and I'm santa, what are you?"

"I think I'm an elf. A really sexy elf." Paul flexed in the mirror.

"Of course, you're always the sexy one. Even when you're barely half my height you're really hot."

"Keep it in your pants old man!" Paul yelled back, blushing at the comment. "I can barely reach any potions, I need you to find some."

"Sounds good little man." Dave responded, prompting a frown from Paul.

Dave scoured the shelves, looking through all the categories. 'Greek Gods' could be fun but a little boring after all the crazy potions they've taken. 'Sex Change' is weird even for our standards. 'Celebrities' could be funny but he could do better. Dave paused in front of a shelf labeled 'Sexy'.

"Oh, watch this!" Dave said excitedly as he grabbed a potion from the 'Sexy' shelf and chugged it.

"What, give me one, you know I can't reach it!" Paul pleaded. "What even is it?"

"I'm about to be sexy." Dave said as he let his robe drop.

Suddenly, Dave's gut began to shrink as the fat in his body disappeared. The wrinkles on his face started to fade as his white hairs turned black. His beard trimmed down to a five o'clock shadow.

"Oh I can feel the confidence rolling in!" Dave yelled in excitement at finally getting a hot transformation.

But as quickly as it started, it ended. He still looked old, he still had a sizable beer belly, he still had a receded hairline.

"Do I look sexy, cuz I feel sexy." Dave said, unaware of his current appearance.

"Haaaaa! You're the boss. No fucking wonder he'd put a potion of himself in the sexy section, he always had an ego bigger than his gut." Paul laughed.

"What!" Dave screamed as he looked in the mirror at his boss's body. But the fear turned to comfort as a wave of confidence rushed through his body.

'Hey, I had no idea boss was packing this much, no wonder he had that kinda confidence." Paul said, still standing at eye level with Dave's crotch. "Wow you are really that attracted to yourself." He said as Dave's dick started to harden at the sight of himself in the mirror.

"Oh I got an idea!" Dave said as grabbed another potion from the sexy shelf and forcefully poured it into Paul's mouth.

Paul coughed for a moment and then realized Dave's intentions. But it was too late as his body began to grow. He grew to the same height as Dave, making his clothes seem extremely small on him. His six pack quickly turned into a solid beer belly as his pecs softened into a pair of moobs, ripping through his green robe. His arms became flabby as his hands grew into thick man hands. His thighs and ass thickened until his pants burst open, revealing his 8 inch cock. His face became slightly wrinkled as his hairline receded, giving him the look of an overweight man in his late forties.

Both men, in the appearance of their boss, stared at each other. Paul wanted to be mad at Dave, but a wave of confidence rushed through his brain. The view of Dave went from one of repulsion toward his boss's body to one of deep attraction.

"It feels good doesn't it." Dave said, rubbing his cock.

"Yeah, but it feels so wrong." Paul responded, trying to resist the urge of arousal.

Dave approached Paul, grabbing his dick and whispering in his ear. "I've wanted to do this for a long time." He kissed Paul on this lips, the two men standing belly to belly. Dave then turned Paul around and shoved him against the wall. "I know you like it, because I like it." Dave whispered before sticking his dick into Paul's ass.

It was the most euphoria the two men had felt their entire lives, Dave feeling Paul's right ass around his dick and Paul feeling warmth fill his insides. It was no surprise their boss wouldn't last long, not like either of them cared. Both men leaned against the wall, out of breath.

"I've got an idea." Paul broke the silence, giving Dave a devilish smirk. He then ran to grab a large beaker and began pouring small amounts of each potion into it, making a potent concoction. Once he had finished pouring one potion from every shelf, he ran back to Dave.

"One last transformation for fun?" Paul held up the beaker.

"Fine, but last one." Dave responded.

Paul took a swig from the beaker and everything went dark. He woke up, back in his room, next to Dave.

"Next time, don't take more acid than you can handle." A comforting voice scolded Paul

"Sarah, what... happened?" Paul said, still waking up.

"This is the second time I've had to take care of you after tripping on acid. At least last time I didn't have to take care of your little boy toy too!"

Paul looked over at Dave. "Oh... Were not a thing."

"Oh really, then explain why I found you both passed out naked in your bed?" Sarah yelled.

"Look, can you just leave us alone for a sec."

"Fine, I'll yell at you later when your boyfriend leaves." Sarah said slamming the door.

Paul shook Dave's, waking him up.

"Do you remember?" Paul asked the barely conscious Dave.

"How could I forget, I never want to see my boss naked ever again."

Paul just chuckled before wrapping his arms around Dave and falling back to sleep.

Not sure if I should keep posting these Wandee Goodday notes, but I guess we're in the home stretch now, so I may as well...

- So glad they showed us what happened with Taem and Ohm!!!

- "Is it that obvious?" Mate, you can see it from outer space lmaoooo

- Awww, Taem! She's a good egg. She really seems happy for Yak. Not sure if her saying 'don't be the person who realises their feelings too late' relates to her or not? I still find it super hard to read her lol

- Okay, look, I get that Yak was worried about Taem but if he read Dee's texts why didn't he reply??? He just wanted to make that dramatic entrance haa

- Another lovely dance metaphor that I'm too tired to transcribe!

- They won the dancing!

- Omg the cuff on Yokee's/Dr Aphichat's shirt!!!! I NEED TO SEE THE WHOLE THING!

- Boooo! Rewardus interruptus!

- Oh, fuck OFF Ter! Bloody hell, he's like a bad penny

- Another punch! Could've done with a satisfying sound effect but still

- Dr Dee. Is. My. Boyfriend <3333

- Ooh, I love the way Dee's fingers catch on Yak's as he reluctantly lets go, vs how he yanks his hand away from Ter! Love little details like that

- That whole speech from Yak is a major, or whatever, green flag for me was just... It was everything!!! And thanking Yak for coming into his life???? Fuuuuuuuck. So good!

- Like, to find someone who you don't feel lesser than around, to find someone who is your peace of mind, who you love who you are with them... That's the goal right there

- And I am so glad Dee said all of that to Ter with Yak there beside him because they both need to hear it and Dee needed to say it and I love Dee so much

- Did you hurt your hand punching him? :3333

- LMAO at Yak inspecting Dee's face to make sure Ter didn't kiss him 🤣

- OMFG THEY ACTUALLY PUT A TIMER UP FOR THEIR KISS I'M DYINGGGGGG

- And we got another kiss!! YAY!

- ...what... why... Why is Kao shirtless with tape over his nipples?! What is happening? Lmao

- Noooooooo! Not more technical issues! WHY, GOD, WHYYYYY?

- Okay, we're good!

- THEY DIDN'T WEAR THE MERMEN TAILS????? Arghhhhhhh >:(

- "Don't skip steps" awww, Dee! I mean, I do think Yak has been pretty flirty this whole time, but sometimes someone wants a formal flirting stage, I guess. And Dee is a romantic. And a big tease ;D

- I love that wooing Dee and not having sex until they're proper boyfriends was all Yak's idea. He has no one but himself to blame haha

- Dee's pastel striped shirt is cute!

- More domesticity! Yay!

- I love when they clink their cutlery before eating :3

- Okay, Dee is SO teasing Yak with the flower every day and so on thing. He has his teasing voice on lol I love him

- BIKE RIDE!

- wow that was a quick montage! I was kind of hoping to see more of their little trip, but I think it works not dragging this out, even if I wanted to see them camping...

- Oh, it was SO obvious Dee saying 'enough' in the preview was going to be linked to the 'if I love you it's for you' and so on. I enjoy being right :)

- Also, it's interesting that Yak still felt like he needed to be like Ter to win Dee over after everything Dee said after the ball

- "I just want to do things that are me now" YEAH!

- "This is the Yoryak that I like..." Ahhh, Dee, you have issues with having feelings and I love you <333

- This date is SO much cuter! Yak is just at ease and Dee is so fond <333

- Tut tut, Dr Dee, trying to get Dr Kao to break patient confidentiality!

- Omg, I LOVE whiny and pleading Yak so much!!!! He's sooooo cute! I have no idea how Dee ever holds his ground for one second lmao

- Wow, okay, was that a really abrupt cut from Yak pouting to Yei getting beaten up or just me??

- Yei just putting his head in Cher's lap and holding his hand though... Ahhhhhh

- I do like watching Yak train 😏

- oh, what does the swiping your thumb across your nose gesture mean?? I've seen it a few times in Thai BLs/movies?? I think I get it from context but not enough to really put into words lol

- Daddy's home! I am finding the differences in Yak and Yei's reactions intriguing! I was NOT expecting Yak to be pleased to see his dad, so this is an interesting development

- Oh!!! Yellow is their mum's birthday colour! Ah, my heart!!!

- Sidenote, I looked up my birthday colour and it's green and that bloody colour haunts me (it's the colour of my birthstone too)

- Dee holding Yak during the nightmare... Omg, so much is happening in this ep!!!

- That pool scene is so cute! I love Dee being all cute and silly with Yak :D

- "When I've found what I like, why bother looking for something else?" Oooh, you smooth talker, you

- (Also that's me visiting any restaurant for a second time and getting the same dish lol)

- LMAO the dick plushie is in bed with them!!!

- And lol @ Yak asking for sex when it was his rule!! He played himself there!

- "You're my peace of mind" their relationship is so lovely! They're so compatible!!

- boxing blah blah whatever

- WHO IS THE NAZGÛL DUDE???

- I wonder if it's going to like... Be Yak himself under there?

- Awww, Dee broke through <333

- Yak and Dee smiling at each other after Yak won is just... I don't know if I have words left for how much I love them

- I love that Zazaki wanted to join their gym because they're like a family! He's adorable! And a little OTT

- OMG the whole end scene is just EVERYTHING!!! Yak's terrible flirting!! Carrying Dee to the couch! The whole couch scene that parallels their first night together! MORE KISSING!!!! And sexy times because ofc Dee can't keep his hands off Yak despite the rule!! AHHHHH! It just broke me and I love it!!!

Phew, okay, SO much happened in this ep, right?? Like that's not just me???

[gaypudding]

I just watched Turtles All The Way Down and I have some thoughts (I’m sick rn so if John somehow stumbles across this I’m so sorry for my dehydrated ramblings):

This is a great adaptation of the book. I love John Green’s works and I loved how Turtles took bits from the Anthropocene Reviewed and put little bits in here as well (and I loved the cameo). Yeah I did cry near the end.

As an aspiring filmmaker, part of me thinks that John’s work isn’t translatable to screen because his writing is so verbose and intrinsic. I love reading John’s works because they put my thoughts on paper, but having to watch that play out while also having a narrator and on-screen representations of abstract thoughts feels very on-the-nose for film. However, this isn’t necessarily a fault to the movie, it’s just how John writes (I realize now that calling him John is very informal, but he’s my internet uncle so I’m sorry Mr. Green but that feels weird to call you). ALSO I’m a big believer in making whatever the fuck you want however you want as long as it’s staying true to yourself, your art, and your audience, and I liked the movie so ahhhhhh I’m running out of coherent thoughts.

I haven’t watched Looking for Alaska or Paper Towns because of things I’ve heard about them (ik, a bad reason not to watch something) and because they aren’t my fav of his books. But I loved Turtles and I’m glad that the director put so much care into trying to tell the story the right way. I could also tell that John was a huge part of the filmmaking process.

If anyone has read this far into my exhausted ramblings, then I’ll just say: I liked it 4/5.

P.S I also didn’t like the amount of product placement, I get that you gotta pay for the movie somehow, but product placement in movies ALWAYS rub me the wrong way (especially when they have very strong messages RE: Barbie). I also know that Applebees and the PopTart box is part of the book but shhhhjjjhhhhhh

P.P.S I’ve been a fan of John Green since The Fault in Our Stars was popular. It was my favorite book in 6th grade and I went to see the movie premiere with my mom when it came out. I’ve also been on Tumblr since then. I read Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherine’s back to back in the same day. John’s work both as an author and as a general human has been a huge part of my life and a huge part of my journey as a creative person. I’m going to graduate college in a semester and I just want to say thank you for helping me and inspiring me through literally half of my life.

[thepaddock]

1/24/25

okay, here we go. this morning, cruiser kept waking us up for whatever reason, so we let him out of our room and to roam the wilderness (the rest of the house). we went back to sleep until we were woken up about 12:30 and our parents brought food home for us. So we get up (reluctantly) and go eat, get dressed, get packed. before we leave the house we start to feel a little sick but it passes. we put our things in the truck and our brother was allowed to take the front seat, and it frustrated us, nico especially, that he could have his seat so far back when before our parents hadn’t given us enough leg room but he was allowed plenty. so we’re already a little upset, and we’re missing you guys and already sad because we won’t be able to call tonight. we get in the truck and our mom keeps talking and has the window rolled down, and we’re tired and our blood sugar is high so we just weren’t doing too good. About halfway to our destination nico was able to fall asleep for the rest of the way. we had a strange, kind of unsettling dream. all we did while we were awake really was play cookie run and wait for you guys to text us back while at work

so finally we reach our destination which is this big ole ‘civic center’ is the only thing i know to call it. it’s got a basketball court and a bunch of other stuff, but where we’re headed is the concert hall. we’re seeing an orchestra play the sound track to star wars episode four as the movie plays, if that makes sense. we settle in to our seats and by this point our blood sugar is steadier. we’re by our brother and mom and it was nice, because we got to talk with our brother before the concert/movie started. the orchestra sounded amazing and we teared up a little bit because something i’ve noticed is we always do, at live music. plus the star wars franchise is pretty important to us, so we were excited. and the music was great. at the intermission our blood sugar is dropping so we get some skittles, and lo and behold during the movie our sugar drops! hehe i was right. so i got to have some skittles. once the movie is over we go back to the truck, stop by the hotel to check in then go to whataburger one of my absolute favorite places to eat on earth i love it so bad. so we order our food, they’re out of a bunch of stuff because they haven’t gotten a truck in awhile but we were still able to get what we wanted. once we finished up we headed to the hotel, and now we’re here! so a kinda busy kinda slow day.

we’ve been kinda dissociated all day, just back and forth and back and forth. we’ve missed you guys so much, especially during the movie… we wish we were able to call as usual and spend that time together. we find ourselves longing for your presence. we love each and every alter and piece and part of you, and you guys are the most wonderful girlfriends… we’re scared too, but happy, so happy. we want to tell everyone about you guys and how amazing you are. all of us are so in love with you all and every day is worth it because it’s another day that we have together. we’re so lucky and so blessed, and the scary feelings are worth it because we know it’s good, that this is what we need. you guys are worth everything, and we find ourselves falling more and more in love every day. every lovely and beautiful thing in life reminds us of you. we see you guys in everything and smile because of it. we love listening to you guys talk and laugh, we love everything we do together. we love you guys, so unbelievably much it’s hard to put it in to words. you guys are so important and so worth everything and we appreciate everything you guys do for us

we love you guys so much and we’re so happy and in love and ahhhhhh!!!! ahhhh!! your entry was so beautiful too and we just feel so loved and thankful…… we love you guys so much
