where you are ‣ lee haechan smau

summary: what the absolute fuck is up baby! fall semester marks the peak of greek life at ncu. the campus quad is filled with tents representing various fraternities and sororities with their letters proudly presented in front of each booth, all eager to recruit new members. as students return to campus, they are met with a flood of fliers and invitations to parties, mixers, and rush events. while you were walking through the crowd of eager freshmen to join these organizations, you bumped into someone very unexpected...

what do you do when you bump into the guy you hooked up with after a music festival during summer break? instead of the royal blue basketball jersey you first met him in, it was replaced by a varsity jacket with the letters reading "ΝΧΘ".

"haechan?"

pairing: fratboy!haechan x fem!reader

genre: smau, non-idol au, college au, fluff, nsfw/suggestive (mdni!) comedy, humor, slight slowburn, strangers to lovers, rave bae core? (am i in love with you or is it just the drugs?)

warnings: mentions of alcohol/substance usage (marijuana, mdma/ecstasy, lsd, cocaine), profanity, jokes about sex and death thrown around, both groups are out of pocket and tmi doesn't exist apparently... no ones safe! the boys gc is kinda questionable (this is where i say men deserve no rights!), haechan x reader met at an edm festival (the term rave bae will be said here and there. rave bae is someone you meet unexpectedly while raving, kinda like your temporary s/o for the duration of the rave or festival... smth like that!) disclaimer notice: these portrayals are fictional and are not intended to encourage or glamorize substance use.

Thank you @sflow-er for the tag!

The aim of this tag game was to take your favorite movie, character, animal, drink, song, season, book, color and hobby and create a mood board.

I apologize for the super long delay. Was there a common tag everyone used? I was on a grief retreat mountain wondering about the meaning of life and so missed everyone's entries and I'd love to catch up.

Movie: Enter the Phoenix (2004) this movie is full of my favorite tropes. Secret & mistaken identity, power dynamics, competence kink, enemies to lovers friends, swords, loyalty. It also has a well written and portrayed out and proud queer lead. It didn't age super well, but it makes me nostalgic of the Hong Kong that once was, especially from a queer perspective, and remains my favorite comfort comedy.

Character: Methos from Highlander the Series. Wilhelm is my precious and my baby and I love him, but Methos has had an almost thirty year head start, okay? Maybe after season 3 and with some time to digest things will change, but for now it's still Methos all the way.

Animal: Elephant. I also like cats and guinea pigs but elephants always made me feel safe (as a kid elephants where about as real to me as dinosaurs)

Drink: Assam tea. Never come near me with Darjeeling. In a pinch a strong espresso macchiato will do. Bonus points if there's some vanilla in there as well. (Ostfriesen Sonntagstee ftw, even if it's kinda tricky to get here)

Song: Sogno di Volare by Christopher Tin. I've had musical anhedonia since I was eleven so I don't really listen to music, but hearing this always brings be joy because it means I have hours of playing Civ ahead of me. Also the lyrics are cool.

Season: Summer all the way. You can be outside, the days are long and I've always associated that time with freedom and carefreeness.

Book: 琅琊榜 by 海晏. I adore this book. All the tropes from above (except not explicitly queer) and with bonus historical low fantasy elements and lots of elaborate politics. Also all the idioms and very well written. Better known by the title of the excellent tv series it inspired and which I never have the time to rewatch called Nirvana in Fire. (won because it's great and because the three defining book (series) of my youth turned out to be written by authors of varying degrees of horridness)

Color: light turquoise green. Is that what it's called? Anyway that color.

Hobbies: writing about power dynamics Wilmon fic

for the writing thing, ten and thirteen?

10: Do you enjoy sharing WIPs or snippets? Why or why not?

(my) Mag a Week: Natural Destruction

Before anything: next week there won’t me another “chapter” of these, I am going on holiday.

Hello there!

I am participating in the "a mag a day" idea which is BRILLIANT and I decided to do "statement a week", rolling dice with the characters and fears that were ftw that week in the episodes I have listened.

This week I am a bit late, sorry, life. For today I rolled Archivist!Martin Blackwood and The Extinction (Eps. 147-155).

As usual, please do forgive my quick tipper and non-native speaker mistakes, Marla

Allons-y!

CW: mentions of murder, self-harm, swearing, toxic family  dynamics

Also on AO3!

 Statement of Mary Cage, regarding the re-appearance of her twin children, almost a decade after they disappeared in the first place.

 Audio recording by Basira Hussain; The Archivist.

 Statement begins.

  I never wanted children; all I ever wanted was a legacy and children were the easiest way of getting one. If you ask me, the best option is to have three kids, so at least one will be worth saving , even if it just because he or she wants to prove to be less of a disappointment than the other siblings.

I know it sounds harsh, but it is what it is. One of my children needed to outlive me in a manner in which I would never be completely forgotten; it is not an affair to let completely to luck and randomness.

Therefore, that is exactly what I did: I had three children, my beautiful precious Rosalind and her older brothers, Charles and Jack. I recall thinking for a very long time I got lucky, since I had two thirds of the work done at once���now, I am not so sure, perhaps I will still have one viable child if they hadn’t been that close…Maybe they wouldn’t have disappeared at all.

  It wasn’t long before I knew Charles and Jack wouldn’t make it in this world in any significate way. It wasn’t that they were bad, or stupid, or especially clumsy; they just weren’t enough of anything. It was so, that I started to feel laziness towards them, as if they weren’t worth my time. And, then, Rosalind was born and, even though she was the blandest baby I have ever seen, she brightened up my life. After all, her emptiness meant that she had all the potential to be moulded into anything. Not only that but, as she grew older, she proved to have absolutely no mind of her own, yet a brain so powerful she was quickly to understand everything, memorise almost all data and even be sensitive with people in a manner not even mental health professionals can be.

In other words: I have my child and, also, two other kids who also happened to share my blood.

Since the only complain I used to have about Rosalind was how fragile her health was in summer (and only summer, we still don’t know the reason behind this), this was the part of the year where most annoying I found those other two needed mouths.

I wanted them so badly not to be there, to not keep occupying space and oxygen and even part of my capacity of loving …but I couldn’t, at least, not directly.

Perhaps leaving the door open before taking Rosalind to the hospital wasn’t that incidental, maybe, only contacting the authorities, no PI mixed on trying to get them back…maybe I was glad they were gone.

Maybe, now, like this, I could work more and better in the perfect offspring I had always deserved.

  The next nine to ten years were uneventful. Rosalind was growing into the very exact person I wanted her to be, my husband was just a presence that did his part (and I make no illusions he thought any other way about me) and things were…as they were supposed to. I made a world for myself and, yes, that can become rather tedious from time to time, but the overall is safe, nice. A perfect design in which the faults of our reality mattered no more.

With, of course, the extra-safety of knowing that, no matter what, everything I was would be carry on thanks to my wonderful only daughter.

Then, her siblings re-appeared.

  If there was any doubt it was the teenage version of the boys that had gone missing almost a decade ago, it was corroborated by the DNA test my husband and I almost violently insisted to be done to them the moment it was legally allowed to do so.

At first, they were silent, and we were afraid they had become some simpletons with more animal than human instincts, but we were wrong: they were just shy, scared of being pushed into the streets…just as I should have done.

Their story was quite simple, actually: the twins had gone lost in the woods, where they had found a couple determined to live without the poison that is Western Civilization (their words, not mine), the pair had adopted them, turned out to be far more literate than most teachers we could have found for the pair and eventually died. So they had chosen to come out, arguing that “even we like what we were taught, we want to believe there can still be hope for our species”. We couldn’t do nothing and, after all, all they did was to eat more expensive (and healthier, according to them) than before and speak certain nonsense to whomever was there to listen.

However, one day, their audience was different than the usual.

One day, the audience was Rosalind.

I just wished she had cut her ears off beforehand.

  I know that, deep down, the twins meant nothing with what they said. They did believe their charged rhetoric, but that was it: there were no brainwashing shady second intentions to their speech.

Still, they should have realised that Rosalind wasn’t the ideal person to listen to a fiery discourse without taking out the most dramatic conclusions and how to act upon them.

The entire concept of the human species destroying a place that is not own by us more than a flower or the oceans infuriated her up to the point that she actively refused to take any means of transportation other than one of her three bikes or her very own feet.

This only affected her, but then she started to interfere with her father and I, trying to throw away or donate those clothes that we had tailor-made for one concrete event, changing our daily menus and even meal times, calling to cancel all our television subscriptions…I don’t know how she did it so efficiently in so little time, but before we could even began to react, we were in the most Spartan house I could even begin to conceive in the twenty-first century.

Meanwhile, the monster of teenagers my oldest children had become just kept a perpetual smug face, as if they were proud of their influence in their baby sister. They weren’t so high and mighty when Rosalind decided ( found out , according to her) that she wasn’t doing enough.

And so she went to her next phase.

  I recalled the disgust I felt when I saw my beautiful perfect Rosalind staring at a mirror, at her beauty untarnished and simply started to scratch her face. First almost gently, then with such fervour pieces of skin were falling to the floor, right next to a mirror.

I gasped and tried to stop her without being harmed in the way (she was much stronger than she looked and my bones are fragile), to what she only reacted by lowering her arms and calming me, saying that she had had enough, that it was just “not fair” that someone like her got so much when other people were being condemned just for the factions they got at birth.

I immediately sent her to her room and called her father and siblings to the living room. It would be shameful, but I was completely willing to put her in an asylum if that could help. Yes, sorry, that word is not politically correct but, if you see your life project mutilating herself out of some nonsense her estranged brothers muttered without even being firm believers (they are already back to the sports team and playing X-Box every other day, for fuck’s shake!)….you wouldn’t care either about what should be said.

However, what was so clear to me wasn’t to my useless husband and even more dead loss children. They began to say I was being “too much myself” (whatever that meant) and we spent hours arguing. By the time I had managed to convince them, we went upstairs…

…to find the lifeless body of Rosalind, who had been mutilating herself until she had died. Apparently, of blood loss.

With some…I hope it was just blood, she had written in the floor “that is what Humanity deserves”.

  At first, I thought it was bit too extreme. I could understand the pressure getting to her, her weak mind falling for certain moralities and even the self-harm. After all, it isn’t as if I hadn’t been her age…the message, though? That was beyond worrying, my child hadn’t been that crazy, been that wrongly made. She was a vision, not a nightmare; she shouldn’t have believed that.

So, as I mourned the empty casket we buried (there was a break in the funerary the night before and the bastards that did it took a few corpses apart from every single item of value), I started to wonder how she could have come to that conclusion, to the almost stated fact that Humanity deserved ugliness and annihilation…then, I understood it.

It wasn’t my daughter who had been at fault, not even my now also deceased stupidly insidious twins; it had been this rotten planet of ours. This place is ungrateful to us, the species who managed to turn it from a jungle filled with irrational parasites to the garden of refinement and progress it is today.

I will avenge my daughter and, with her, also myself. I am making my personal mission to scorch this world to the ground; I am even making sure no remains of those I might end in my path can be used by the Earth as its personal fertiliser.

Please, if I am writing to you it is because you are people of thought and intellect and I wish nothing but to spread my word to those who could understand it.

Help me consume this planet.

   Statement ends.

   The more time I spend as The Archivist, the most certain I am this whole classification of fears is pure bullshit that we had turned real after inventing it. Yes, I know that our new director that doesn’t have at all Elias’ eyes and speaks just like the bastard Jon went to jail for rightfully murdering him is giving me this statements about The Extinction as this new threat that is rising from the shadows but, in all honesty? If it is real, it is just re-contextualizing other elements that people following these alleged Fears.

 About the statement itself, I could look into it, even look into it properly; but I would rather go have a drink with my equally doomed mates, taking advantage of our new director curiously connecting so quickly with Lukas…

 End recording.

[fifteenth-entity]

ig this does count as softcore amfissa propaganda???? like youre right i didnt know you were right abt this but you are

(you didnt know ive played ib cuz i havent played ib ;D my volatile supple baby mind just grew up with so much ib content + playthroughs it acts as if ive played ib)

also updated list ftw cuz this has CHANGED

-Caleb Widogast, Mollymauk Tealeaf from campaign 2 (Mighty Nein) and Ashton Greymoore from campaign 3 (Bells Hells) from Critical role -Taako (you know, from TV?) from The Adventure Zone: Balance -Ellery Finch from The Hazel Wood -Garry from Ib -Heidi from Heidi, Girl of the Alps -Shigeo Kageyama and Shou Suzuki from Mob Psycho 100 -Kris Dreemurr from Deltarune (honorable mention: Sal Fisher from Sally Face, don't ask me why he's *here* but he is) -Hunter Whittebane/Clawthorne/Noceda/Deammone (yes I am listning all of them cry about it) from The Owl House -Blade/Yingxing from Honkai Starrail -Diluc Ragnvindr and Kaveh Nolastnamegiven from Genshin Impact (honorable mention: Alhaitham Nolastnamegiven (they share a last name because theyre married)) -Jesper Fahey from Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom and Rule of Wolves (fuck the show) -Hua Cheng from Heaven Official's Blessing -Minamoto Kou from Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (honorable mention: Mitsuba Sousuke) -Miyano Yoshikazu from Sasaki to Miyano (honorable mention: Sasaki Shuumei) -Snufkin and The Joxter from the Moomins

More misc honorable mentions: Jack Townsend from Tales from the Gas Station, Sly from William and Sly 2, Reigen Arataka from Mob Psycho 100, and more probably, but I can't think of any, I think the meds are kicking in

interesting thing to note here: ... wow, this list has updated a lot. I made this post in march 11th of 2022... at that point, i was still battling an identity crisis (and winning!) and some leftover trauma from being on the Internet when i was 12 and undiagnosed autistic. i remember making this list and honestly scouring my brain for content. the leftover trauma from the 'tism left me with no characters to call my own. i had very few hyperfixations and favorite characters in my developing years because i forced myself to just... not enjoy stuff, but after the summer of 2022, i told myself "you're gonna have to work on just Enjoying characters again", and... voila. here are the results. i feel so strongly for so many characters now; and financial semi-independence and total living independence has allowed me to enjoy more media that i wouldnt have gotten my hands on otherwise without any purchases. a lot of these series with physical media? yeah, i OWN that media now! and the allowance to just... be in a group, be among fans, has pushed me to try new things wholly, not just observe from a distance. this is probably a very personal experience, but this is monumental to me. i can enjoy stuff again. also, ill definitely keep updating this list as the years go by; even rn, im reading a book that is just... clawing at me to be on my favorites. ill b keepin ya posted.

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime, books, movies or tv series)? Thanks....

hmmmm let’s see

-Akaboshi Bisco from Sabikui Bisco -Kaoru Sakurayashiki from Sk8 the Infinity -Caleb Widogast from Critical role: Mighty Nein -Espresso Cookie from Cookie Run Kingdom -Marin Kitagawa from Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru -Haise Sasaki from Tokyo Ghoul:re -Ellery Finch from The Hazel Wood -Heidi from Heidi, Girl of the Alps -Garry from Ib -Taako (you know, from TV?) from The Adventure Zone: Balance

i have a lot, lot more favorite characters, but these specifically are very near and dear characters to me, all for different reasons

Dance of Destiny by @after-avenging-hours: I looooove soul mate fics! This one is so beautifully creative! You can feel when your soul mate is dancing. So why hasn’t Reader ever felt hers?

@angrythingstarlight: I just discovered this writer, and her RPF Chris Evans fics are GOLD! As the auntie to 4 kiddos, this writer had me wheezing with her very true-to-form kid repartees with Chris. “Imma steal your doggy” (dying!). A few of these fics center around Reader out with her two nieces that are conspiring to get her on a date with Chris. Or, according to her nieces, ‘Captain America’ and ‘Dodger’s daddy’.

The Pack by @sweater-daddiesdumbdork is another great AU giving us shifter/wolf Steve Rogers. When a lost omega stumbles into his pack’s lives, Alpha Steve & his wolf find themselves falling for her tail over teakettle. Be sure to also read the drabbles that go along with the series!

Hello, Bird by @welldonebeca: there is not enough Clint Barton fics out there, and this two-part story is a great remedy for this. Sweet, fluffy fic featuring our favorite archer with his family.

Call of the Mountains by @floatingpetals: gorgeously creative AU! When reader is rescued from almost certain death, her saviour is so much more than meets the eye. What is the mysterious Bucky, Steve, and their little group hiding?

I Carry Your Heart With Me by @marvelcapsicle: another phenomenal soul mate fic FTW! In this one, soul mates can feel each other’s pain. But what happens when one of you can’t feel pain at all?

Finding Home by @promarvelfangirl: let me say now that I categorically do not like Hallmark movies. But this delightfully tender story leans into the trope so beautifully! Soldier!Steve Rogers receives a Christmas card while deployed overseas, and it becomes a lifeline for him. What happens when he meets the friendly, compassionate writer?

Sunset by @pinknerdpanda: sweetie, you did it again. Gorgeous, poetic writing about reader returned from the Snap to a world that left her behind. Beautiful!

Bring Him Light by @speechlessxx: AU giving us King Steven Rogers with a new bride. Scary stories are told about the cruel king. Can reader soften his heart? FYI - some chapters are tough reading due to themes. Well written story that I’m looking forward to future chapters!

The Taste of Blood by @the--sad--hatter: 3 words: I want more! This tantalizing AU will feature vampire!Bucky Barnes and reader. The first chapter gives us the reader who feels compelled to leave her life behind - again - as she flees an unknown-to-us danger.

[nomoregoldfish]

Me: I’m not gonna watch another BL drama featuring ignorant college engineer students, which vilifys women, turns women against women, and reinforces binary, biased gender stereotypes. Fk that shit. The fantastic murderers husbands in MoD are good enough.

Also me: Baby Tul looks sooooooo good in college outfits white button-down black sweatshirt pink T-shirt blue football jersey literally anything looks so hot on him and dat boyish charm ahhhhh I just can’t ohhh he’s having another gay panic hahaha cute af ain’t nobody stan Knock’s jawline wtf every kiss scene highlights it so taut. Korn breaking stereotypes FTW! My soft, kind, sweet, strong, fierce, emo, crying summer child. The angst is so fabricated/almost nonsense but dude the unresolved sexual tension leading up to ep.9 is OFF THE ROOF! And Faii girl you go kick them boys’ asses and get all the winning goals! Everything/one else? Sorry not sorry I skipped them all lol.

Fun hobby ftw.

Is there an episode or character or arc above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

I don’t really lean too hard on canon, so I’ll say The Puppet Master because you can really do anything you want and it could be canon.

What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?

You have to end it somewhere.

What’s the worst writing advice you’ve ever come across?

Write what you know.

If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?

Experienced Bartender Required.

What’s your process? Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order? Do you use any tools, like worksheets or outlines? What are the perfect writing conditions for you?

I definitely outline, even if it’s just story beats. I probably write everything differently, sometimes linear, sometimes I have scenes I put down and build a story around them - I don’t really have a process, whatever works in that instance. My perfect writing conditions would be with a 22 inch computer screen in a comfy chair listening to music on my headphones. That NEVER happens.

Check out Notarelationship’s fics: 

It's All So Simple -  While going through his mother’s papers after her death, Blaine Anderson discovers hospital paperwork for a girl born the same day as him, in the same hospital in New York City. His investigation into the baby leads him to his twin sister, Rachel Berry, and her roommate Kurt Hummel. Blaine has to navigate his feelings over his new sister, complicated by her best friend who he might be falling for.

Along For The Rides -  AU. Blaine and Kurt get their summer romance on. Mostly fluff, awkward flirting, a side of misunderstanding and some hanky panky.

Tinder Verified -  TV star Kurt Hummel's dating life is going nowhere, so he signs up for Tinder. Unfortunately, nobody believes that he's really TV star Kurt Hummel.

[18+ advised ] This is going to be long af. I’m going to do my best to put everything - all my writing on this blog, in one goddamn place, but I make no promises, so forgive me in advance. Below the cut is everything I’ve written and posted, for every single fandom I’ve written for so far. If [mature] or [suggestive] is present in the title/post, 18+ only. If you’re looin for y/n here, you won’t really  find it. I prefer to use oc’s in writing most of the time because it’s easier for me.

Thank you for these, darlin :))

🌲  Pine: Do you prefer the cold, or the heat?

I like fall and specifically Christmas time but I honestly prefer summer. I’m like a plant, I’m much happier with sun and fresh air, so I gotta say heat.

Running out to impulse by candy and a fun drink to talk on the phone with YOU, sweetheart 💓

Hmm, I have this sweatshirt that’s a nice sunshiney yellow. I also like baby blue and whatever arcade carpets got goin on, too.

🥛 Milk: What is a food you find comforting when you are sad? 

Like BIG time sad, probably pancakes for dinner. But like small time Got Bummed during the day sad? Probably Dr Pepper, and I’m aware that’s a drink.

🌿 Herb: What is a scent you find relaxing? 

Mint or pine? Also you and you alone can ask for the gay answer off the air :))

🥞 Pancake: What is your favorite breakfast food? 

Uhhh maybe eggs? Or perhaps pancakes. WAIT NO. I WAS WRONG. I WAS SO WRONG. EVERYTHING BAGEL WITH CREAM CHEESE FTW!!!!!!

[nobodiesheartlessshitblog45]

Joseph Oda Headcanon’s because why not I love this man and his is a precious baby.

Before Moving too America Joseph worked has a  Forest ranger in one Cadana’s National parks. He loves the great outdoors and loved spending his summer out in nature.

He’s a huge a book worm, is a total Stephen King fan and loves mystery novels and science-fiction. His favorite book, all time is The Stand. Dose read some manga and comic books. DC man for life.

Dosen’t watch TV all that much, but dose enjoy Game Of Thrones, Dexter, The Walking Dead and The Stephen king miniseries. (he watched that like a million times) Enjoys classic tv’s like I love Lucy, The Nanny Fran, Friends and Reba. (And  Golden girls) Just some. Loves  old Japanese monster movies and black and white movies. Watched ever Studio Ghibli and dose enjoy occasional horror movies. 

Jojo loves contury music. But loves classic rock, like Queen, The Who, Pink  Floyd, dose like Judas Priest. This boy has a man crush for Blake Shelton, knows all songs by heart. He’s big Tom Waits fan. Wants to learn how to sing like him, but sounds like pissed off wet cat. So he just hums along to his songs.

He may look it, but Jojo is very Athletic. Loves to rock climbing, plays basketball and works when he can. Wakes up early to go jogging before work. He was apart his high school basketball team, and throughout his College days. Thought about being a pro basketball player, wanted to follow in  grandfather’s footsteps.

He’s a great cook. Tries to stay away from fast food, he cook his on food and bring with him to work, and bring extra food for Sebastian and Myra, and when they have family dinner, Joseph was the cook, no buts.

He was very to grandfather and grandmother when he was a kid. His  grandfather was a police officer and his  grandmother was a nurse when they both still to lived in Japan. Joseph is very close to his family. Family is very important thing to Joseph, and when he moved to America from Canada it was an  emotional goodbye, and since then Joseph would try to call his family everyday making sure that he was fine.

This man is a addicted to caffeine. Needs his coffee every morning, afternoon and those nights where the man has to work overtime. This man can have up 4-5 coffees a day. Lord help this man... He dose drink herbal tea, if wants to wine down the day. This man drinks so much a lot his fellow police officers wonder if he has coffee in vains.

Has it said, Joseph speaks little Japanese, but dose speak full French Canadian and European French, did travel to France a few times.

Joseph’s friendship with Sebastian and Myra

Myra was the first one to befriend Joseph, and the introduce to Sebastian. The two were a bit awkward it, but Joseph found out the Sebastian was also a huge a Stephen King and Game of Thrones and the two geeked out, and then became really close friends.

Joseph is a workaholic, when started to his real job as a full time Detective, he work crazy hours everyday. For the first two weeks, Myra would have to make sure that Joseph was taking care himself, and making eating well. (Mom detective FTW).

If anyone was Joseph a hard or trying to bully him, Sebastian would set right in and would that person a new one. Would stand for Joseph if someone as giving the young detective no matter. See Joseph as a younger brother.

Whenever the three of them would have dinner, Joseph would help out around the kitchen. Trust him, then man knows how to cook, and knows what to do. Not do question hi

Joseph was one Sebastian’s best men at his wedding.

Joseph’s ideal S/O

Joseph is huge family man, and would to start his own someday. He would love someone who he could get along with family, mostly his mom. His last Girlfriend always butted head with his mom, and bictor about things.

Joseph is a huge workaholic, most days he’s fine being on his own, after living on your own and doing but working could get a little lonely for him. He would like that fact he could come home to someone. Do all the cheesy couple things, cook together (mostly him doing it) watch movies together, just someone who can make him feel sane after long crazy days.

He always be the kind of who encouraged his s/o to chance after their dream and ideas.

He ideal dates are walking around the park, any time of the day and any time of the year, staying home with s/o, just talk on the couch and watch a some movies. His ideal vacation his camping and staying the cabin in the woods, no people, no work. Just him, his s/o and nature. Road trips to see his family and friends.

OMG TY ILY SIS

First two sentences from my most recent wip: 

In most respects Jackson Whittemore was an average eleven-year-old. He liked sports, ice cream, jumping on his best friend’s trampoline, and his mom reading him Harry Potter books before bed, but unlike most children, Jackson hated summer vacation. Every year his parents would take him to London to visit their family there, and while getting to eat all the Cadbury chocolate he wanted in between cricket and tennis matches was cool, if someone asked Jackson what his favorite part of his summer vacation trips to England were, he’d always say ‘coming back home.’

Last two sentences of the same work:

“Camden is gonna be there, he’s on the swim team Mum! He’s a lifeguard at the Y!”

“Let the boy go to Lahey’s. I’m sure that kid could use all company he can get after the rock climbing accident last year.”

lmao long sentences FTW

ILYSM I thought that no one would ask and this made me excited!

here’s some baby 11 year old Jackson Whittemore

Sunday Stuff

If you do not think that Dashboard Confessional’s “The Secret’s in the Telling” is one of the greatest songs fraught with the most tension and passion, you’re just wrong. 

A surprise visit from my friend resulted in a much-needed impromptu hangout.  It also allowed me to enjoy the nice day into which the gloomy morning ultimately transformed. 

I would like to feel some stability of schedule for the rest of my summer.

The second installment, A Gathering of Shadows, of V. E. Schwab’s trilogy about Master Kell, Lila Bard, and magic is really great.  I am enjoying it immensely!  This particular novel is giving me Triwizard Tournament vibes, but perhaps for a more mature audience.  And who doesn’t want that?!

My morning anxiety subsided, but my diffuser will be going tonight. 

Cleaning my ENTIRE house, quite literally from top to bottom, felt like a great accomplishment.   I usually do it in two parts.  I think this will set up my week well. 

Fresh sheets FTW, baby.

The only time I turned on the TV today was at breakfast to watch the first two episodes of Never Have I Ever which debuted its second season this past week.  I already cracked up aloud twice, and it felt so familiar.\

And for breakfast I ate yesterday’s leftover pinchos. =D

I skipped over today’s workout, but I was feeling very wonky.  

The Olympics start this week, and part of me needs to get ahead of my work so that I may DO ALL THE WATCHING.  More about my slightly irrational love of the Olympics in another post perhaps. 

Related: Seriously though, Tokyo 2020 might be the BEST Olympiad logo I have ever seen (or it’s definitely up in the top 3).  I UNF every time I see it displayed. 

Listening to Dusk and Summer was definitely a good move for this evening.  But why is only the single version of “Stolen” on the Spotify album?
