Tara Carpenter x fem!reader

Summary - You and Tara's relationship starts to develope more, but you're worried it's all an act so Tara proves herself to you.

This was inspired by @kaisacobra fic "I Dare You"

Warnings - None

Part 1 Part 2

The sound of your alarm fills the room and for the first time in awhile you don't press snooze.

It's odd it's like you have more energy today than usual. Tara is taking up all your thoughts and when you're deciding what to wear today you spend a little more time doing it, subconsciously trying to look better for her.

Even though you two basically just met you couldn't help it, what wasn't there to like about her?

You even put on a little bit of makeup today.

After you finish getting ready you grab your backpack, straps still broken, and start to walk to school.

Its a beautiful day outside. The perfect amount of clouds, not too hot, not too cold.

A car comes by and stops by you. Your first thought was that it was the jerks who splashed you yesterday finding a different way to torment you since it was now dry.

Maybe they'd pour water bottles over your head or something.

You were gladly surprised when the passenger side window rolls down the window and it's Mindy. "y/n! Get in!"

"Say less." You say and quickly rush into the back seat, about to toss your backpack till you realized Tara was back here as well.

You opt to putting your bag by your feet. Tara was smiling at you which you smile back.

"Thanks for the ride." You say addressing the rest of car realizing it's Chad in the front.

"Its no problem, we got the space."

"So," Tara says dragging out the o while putting a new empty backpack on your lap. "What is this?"

"It's a new backpack what does it look like?" Tara pats the top of the backpack.

"Yeah but why?" The backpack fits your aesthetic well and most importantly it has actual straps on it.

"Chad and I got it for you, just consider it a gift for what happened yesterday." You look to the front and see Chad and Mindy smiling at each other.

"Thank you guys." You start moving your stuff from your broken bag to your new one.

"Uh yeah it's no problem." Chad replies like he's hiding something while Tara is just looking at you smiling.

Mindy looks back giving Tara a look before meeting eye contact with you.

"Are you wearing makeup? you never wear wakeup." You find yourself blushing.

"I just felt like it today I don't know."

"Mhm" Mindy gives you a suspicious look before looking at Tara one more time and then looking back through the front windshield.

You look at Tara again and you both make eye contact, suddenly remembering how close you guys were last night your face gets redder than before and you force your eyes out the window to hide your face.

A few minutes pass of you staring at the buildings and trees passing by until you arrive at school. You all get out of the car simultaneously and start walking but Mindy holds you back for a second.

"It was just Tara."

"What?" You reply in a whisper, confused on what she's talking about.

"The backpack, she got it for you, Chad wasn't involved." Mindy, keeping her voice low, pats your shoulder before going to catch up with the others.

"I'm gonna go to the cafeteria I'll see you guys later kay?" The three all turn around and give you a thumbs up.

-

You walk into the classroom and see Tara near the front talking to her friends before she sees you, she is practically beaming when she notices you.

When you go to sit down in your usual spot, Tara stands up with her stuff and takes the spot next to you. "You keep forgetting this."

She slides over your chapstick. "You're the one who keeps forgetting to give it to me." You reply back with a smile.

You look towards the front and see Amber and Liv looking back at you with mischievous smiles.

"So is talking to me a game still or?" You say teasingly to Tara.

"If it is a game it would be my favorite one." Your face flushes pink at the remark, Tara smirking a bit seeing you flustered.

"They still think it's a game, they don't know that I like you." Tara's face goes red realizing what she just said.

"Not like, like!" she whisper yells at you and you're holding back a smile.

"Stop making that face!" Tara says before shoving a notebook in your face.

"Hey stop that!" you try to push the notebook out of your face while giggling.

Liv and Amber look at each other confused before looking at Chad.

"What's happening? Tara is acting too, you know, actually friendly." Liv questions Chad like he'd know.

"I don't know." Chad shrugs while trying to hide a smile. Tara told Chad what happened last night, but of course doesn't want Liv and Amber to know that.

Liv and Amber look back at y/n and Tara before the bell rings and class starts. Tara stayed next to you during class and that didn't go unnoticed by Liv and Amber.

-

You and Tara walk together while you can before you have to split up because you don't have the same next period together.

"So what's their deal? Liv and Amber I mean." You look towards Tara who's takes a second to respond.

"Well Liv is just an asshole, I don't really like her but I put up with her because she's dating Chad. I have no idea what he sees in her." You nod at her, waiting to hear more as she takes another moment.

"Amber just kinda reflects the loudest person in the room if that makes sense. She's fine when she's not around Liv but she's insufferable with her."

"I see" You look at Tara one more time. "Well my class is this way so I'll see you later."

You point to the direction you need to go before waving bye to Tara. "Kay, seeya later." She says while waving back, with a little smile on her face.

You walk into your next class and take your seat near the back of the class, and then Amber approaches you.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" You look up at her.

"Do I have to?"

"No but I know something you might wanna know." Amber looks down at you.

"No thanks, you can go to your seat now." She gives me one more look before taking a step back.

"Alright if you say so, I guess I won't tell you what I was gonna tell you about Tara." She says with a smug look on her face.

"What?"

"Oh have I peeked your interest?" Amber says teasingly. "Well Tara doesn't actually like you you know, it's all an act."

You look at her with a suspicious face unsure what to say.

"Yeah I know. its all just a 'game' right? to talk to the quiet kid." You do air quotations whenever you say game.

"I don't think you understand." Amber continues. "All of it is, even what she's doing now. She's going to build you up to take away the weak foundation for you to crumple."

You look at her still suspicious, she still has that smug smile on her face. Truth is, this was always a thought in the back of your mind, but you only let it stay back there. Until now, now that the possibility has been brought to light.

"I don't believe you, is that all?" Amber raises her eyebrows before turning around to walk to her desk.

She turns around to see a little doubt in your face. She did what Liv told her to do, to plant the idea into your head.

-

The bell rings and you head to the cafeteria for lunch. Whenever you're in front of the cafeteria Tara approaches you with a smile

"Hey y/n! I just wanted to see if you wanted to do something together during lunch."

You instinctively want to agree but the thoughts in your head hold you back.

"I'm sorry I kinda wanna be alone during lunch today." You say looking at the ground like it's the most interesting thing here.

"You sure? like positive."

"Yeah I just wanna be alone for a bit." Tara looks at your face for a moment with a confused look on her face.

"If you say so." Tara turns around and heads to her friends.

"What's up? not 'hanging out' with y/n?" Mindy questions Tara, making quotation marks with her fingers when she says hanging out.

Mindy is also aware that Liv and Amber aren't supposed to know what's happening

"No, I don't know what happened."

"Maybe she just wants to be alone." Mindy says while taking a bite of her food.

Tara quickly skims over that. "Did you two say anything to her?" Looking at Liv and Amber.

"No, what would we have told her?" Amber is quick to respond.

"I don't know, it's just weird." Tara looks back to try to find you in the cafeteria but fails.

Out of her sight Amber and Liv look at each other with mischief in their eyes.

-

The school day ends and you start to walk home by yourself.

"Y/n wait!" Tara says speeding up her walk to catch up with you.

"I told Chad and Mindy I'd walk home with you." She says with a smile. "Is that alright?"

"Yeah that's cool." you give her a patient smile, unsure how you should feel right now.

The idea that Amber planted in your head is starting to take root and you needed to be proven what's right and what's wrong.

"Are you okay?" Tara gives you a troubled look while we're walking. "You look concerned about something."

"I think so, I'm just a little confused."

"About what?" Our pace slows down as we occasionally glance at each other while we're walking.

"I'm just worried that this might be a part of the game as well" You gesture your hand between you and Tara.

"You think I'd buy you a backpack for some stupid social game that I'm being put up to?"

"No I'm just concerned is all. I believe you more than doubt you, but there is still doubt. I don't wanna be played with you know?"

There is a few seconds of silence before you speak again.

"Hold on, I thought you said it was you and Chad who got me the backpack?" Tara's face brightens up a little bit.

"That's what I meant."

"That's not what Mindy told me." You say glancing at Tara with a slight smug expression on your face.

"Mindy told you?" confirming what Mindy said to me is true.

"That bitch! I told her not to tell you!" You smile while looking at the ground. A few more seconds pass before the conversation continues.

"Back to what we were talking about." Tara says trying to change the subject.

"How about I prove it to you." You both stop walking for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"How about I take you out somewhere, and not just my house to watch a movie. I can prove my true intentions."

You look her in the eyes. "That seems like it'll be kinda difficult to prove don't you think?"

"I don't think so, I'll find a way." She looks at you with a hopeful smile that you'll never get over. "Are you free the rest of the day?" You say trying to initiate the plans, eager just to spend more time with her.

"Yeah, how about we... Oh! I heard there's a festival carnival thingie in town!" Tara says looking at you with excitement.

You think you're becoming obsessed with this girl, or at least you definitely will if she keeps looking at you like you're celebrity or something.

"That sounds fun to me." You return her energy with a smile.

"Then what are we waiting for!" Tara grabs your hand and starts running, practically dragging you.

"Tara slow down!" You practically fall over at the speed the girl is dragging you, your face heating up as you stare at your interlocked hands.

-

You both arrive at the carnival, your hands still interlocked.

"Two seconds in and I already need cotton candy." Tara is practically drooling already approaching the cotton candy stand. "Do you want any?"

"I'm okay, maybe I'll get funnel cake later though."

Tara already has her cotton candy and is dragging you to explore. At one of the games you see the ugliest frog plushie you've ever seen as the top prize to a ring toss game.

It was a green frog, probably the size of your torso, and it's eyes were slightly too far apart and it probably needed more fluffing based on how it bent in on itself.

Its perfect.

"Oh my God I actually need it!" You practically yell, you now being the one dragging Tara.

"Hold my beer." Tara hands you her cotton candy and goes to play the ring toss.

You watch as she fails every single ring toss. She plays it again, and again, and once more. Failing each time.

"Its okay Tara I don't need it that bad."

"No! I'll win this." She turns to look at you.

"For you."

she says with a serious face causing your face to heat up a little.

"Well you might wanna lock in this time because you haven't even won a lower end prize, the one I want is a top prize." You say teasingly.

She clearly didn't wanna hear that as you hear her sigh. She focuses, sticking her tongue out a little.

She tosses her first ring, finally succeeding a throw, which surprises you but she doesn't let it affect her.

She tosses another, than another, she's on her last ring till she wins top prize.

If you were sitting, you would be on the edge of your seat.

She tossed the final ring and it feels like it's in slow motion, the ring gliding through the air and slides right onto the bottle.

"Tara you did it!" You grab the girl into a hug and spin her around. When you set her down you jump in place as the guy gets the plushie off the rack for you. You grab it and instantly go to hug Tara again.

"Thank you! thank you! thank you!" You're jumping while hugging her. Whenever you set her down your eye contact lock together.

You look at her like she put the stars in the night sky just for you, and not just winning a plushie from a carnival game.

"Come on let's keep moving." She says with a big smile, admiring how much pure joy is emanating off you.

The interruption makes you realize how long you were admiring her, causing you to feel butterflies in your stomach.

"Okay!" You have the biggest grin on your face as you hand Tara back her cotton candy.

"You're beer." Tara let's out a short laugh.

"Ah yes, my beer."

You're walking around together looking at all the different attractions.

"So what are you going to name it?" Tara asks you. bringing attention to your new addition to the family.

"Oh my God I totally forgot about that part." You stop for a moment to think. "What about..."

You instantly think about naming it Kermit for a second till you scratch the over used idea off your mental list. "Oh! what about Luigi?"

Tara gives you a look. "Luigi?"

"Yeah, because he's green and he's a carpenter right? Like you know, your last name."

You instantly face palm yourself after the realization that you're wrong. "No wait he's a plumber, nevermind I'll come up with the name later."

Tara just stares at you for a second in awe of what you just said. "You're a dork." She says taking your hand again as you both continue walking.

After exploring for awhile, going on multiple rides, and doing some attractions, it's starting to get dark and the string lights at the carnival turn on.

"Its starting to get late, how about we go on the ferris wheel and then we can head out?" You nod to Tara's request as you both head to the ferris wheel hand in hand.

It feels nice to let your feet rest for a second after you sit down. The ferris wheel rocks as it starts causing you to bump into Tara. "Sorry."

"It's okay." Tara smiles at you as she scoots closer to you till your shoulders touch. She stares out the window with you, both of you taking in the moment till you reach near the top.

"It's beautiful" you say admiring the view. The lights of the booth highlighting your features, the reflection of city lights in your eyes.

"Yeah" Tara says while admiring you, staring at you like you hung up the moon just for her.

"Can I prove to you now it's not just a game?" You turn to look at her to see the raw emotion in her eyes. You'll never get over the way this girl looks at you, no one has ever looked at you with so much admiration.

So much passion.

"Can I kiss you?" Tara glances down to your lips before admiring the rest of you. You nod slowly, waiting for her to make the first move.

She puts her hand to your cheek as she closes the distance. The instance your lips touch you grab the side of her face, pulling her more into the kiss.

You haven't been talking to each other long but you both were longing for this moment.

It felt as if you opened your eyes you would be seeing fireworks, or the lights of the Ferris wheel breaking, or something just from the pure emotion of the kiss.

You put your hand on her knee as you push even further into the kiss.

Before the kiss gets any further, the ferris wheel stops, rocking the cart back and forth causing you both to tumble over breaking the kiss.

You fell on top of her. "I'm so sorry!"

You realize how close you are to her and quickly get off her, your heart about to beat out of you chest, your face flushed red.

She's sits up giggling, the emotion portrayed in her eyes are still raw as she admires all your features.

You were about to go for another kiss until you remember where you are and the door to the Ferris Wheel opens.

The operator stares at you both, impatience covered his face as he waited for you both to leave the Ferris Wheel.

You both start to walk out of the carnival.

"So... did I prove it to you?" Tara looks at you with hope in her eyes.

You nod with no hesitation with a dopy grin on your face. She takes your hand as you walk her to her house.

-

You both arrive at Tara's house, stopping in front of her door. "Can I do something more to prove its more than a game?"

You look at her before nodding, waiting for her to continue.

"I want us to be official, together I mean, like girlfriends." Tara looks longingly at you.

"Unless you don't wan-"

"Yes." You speak too quickly while nodding your head, the dumbest grin on your face.

"A thousand times yes!"

Tara grabs your face with both hands and kisses your forehead. "Goodnight, girlfriend. message me when you're home."

Tara says with a smile while turning to go inside, looking at your one more time while she closes the door.

You walk down the steps glancing back at the door with a smile. Unable to contain you're excitement, you practically skip the whole way home while holding your frog plushie.

y/n: "heyy i made it home :)"

Tara: "good :)) oh and btw you forgot this again"

She sends you a picture of your chapstick

y/n: "literally how, you gave it to me today."

You go to your backpack and find the chapstick she returned to you.

You see another notification on your phone.

Tara: "did I trick you? I so totally tricked you"

You roll your eyes before typing out your response

y/n: whatever, im going to bed goodnight :p

Tara: lol okay, goodnight :))

Before going to bed you look at the plushie Tara won for you, finally thinking of a name for them.

Chappy, that was the name you decided on.

a/n: hii everyone :3 the amount of times I broke pov when writing this was insane so I'm sorry if I missed any when editing. anyways, I hope you enjoy :D

Beyond Business-part seven//t.c.

Warnings:yearning, sexual tension, flirting undertones, kissing, cursing

The following week leading up to the Golden Globes, Timmy took every opportunity to get close to you.

You got a paper cut, resulting in the tiniest little cut on your hand, but he insisted on being your little nurse. “Come here let me see.” he said, taking your hand to the sink to run it under some cold water. He held your hand, pretending to examine the cut. You tried to hold in a giggle while this was happening. It was hard.

He even put a bandaid on your hand. “Timmy there’s not even any blood and the bandage will be in the way when I do things.” you laughed.

“I don’t care. I have to take care of you.” he asserted. Once he got the bandaid adhered to his liking, he pressed a kiss to the barely-there wound. “All better.” he grinned.

It seemed every other time he had to stand next to you, his hand nonchalantly found its way to rest on your lower back.

There was one time when he brushed your hair off of your shoulder, and let the pads of his fingers trickle along the side of your neck, slowly, giving you shivers.

“Timothée.” you warned in that moment, but you were weak in the attempt.

“I know.” he answered. There was melancholy in his voice. But he perked back up after a moment, saying, “Hey, I got you something to wear to the Globes.” He moved quickly to his coat closet nearby.

“Oh? That’s not necessary Timmy, I’m sure I have something.” you insisted, following him.

“Shhh.” he hushed you, grabbing a garment bag off the rod in the closet. He handed it over to you, that damn grin all over his face.

“Timmy, I-I’m just an assistant.” you reluctantly took the dress from him, “I don’t need anything special.”

“You are much more than just an assistant to me. Anyway, it’s nothing crazy, but I thought the color would nice on you. Try it on and show me.”

You winced, “Ugh, this is silly. I don’t need this kind of attention.”

“Go, bathroom, now.” he demanded.

You mumbled a protest on your way to the bathroom to change.

………

You were surprised that he knew your size. The dress fit really well. It was almost as if you picked it out yourself.

Timmy was right: the color did suit you, and the length wasn’t too short or anything.

“I told you to come back out so I can see it.” he called from the other room.

You sighed. This was not something you did;parade in front of a man. But it was Timmy, so maybe it would be okay. And anyway, he wasn’t going to take ‘no’ for an answer right now.

You exited the bathroom, feeling a little shy, being so dressed up in front him.

“Whoa.” he said, his eyes widened.

“Does it look bad? I think it’s kinda nice. I like the color and the flowers, and the sleeves.” you rambled a bit, thinking he hated the way you looked.

He cleared his throat, nodding, “Yeah, it looks perfect. You’re so beautiful.” He came over to you, looking at you up and down.

You blushed.

“Here,” he began, reaching behind your head, unclamping the claw clip that held all of your hair up, “you should wear your hair down. That will look best.”

You shook your head a bit, letting your hair loose on your shoulders. “Okay, whatever you say, boss.”

“Hm.” he grinned, “I really wanna kiss you right now.”

“Is it the dress? Maybe I should change back into my other clothes.” you joked.

Timmy shook his head, “No, no, it’s just you.” He put his hands on your hips, sliding them across your back.

Your bodies touched, your hands went to his chest.

“Can I kiss you?”

“You didn’t ask permission before.” you pointed out, referring to the night he came over to your place.

With that, his lips met yours in a brief, longing kiss. He pulled away after a moment, saying, “We should stop now, because I don’t think I’ll be able to stop myself if I kiss you again.”

………

The morning of the Globes came and he texted you first thing: ‘can u spend the day with me?’

‘I can if you need me to.’ you replied.

‘please🥺’

You showered, got ready and brought your dress inside of its garment bag, and your hair and makeup stuff along to Timmy’s house.

You let yourself in with all of your things.

“Hey, you’re here.” you heard him say, and his footsteps drew near.

“Yeah. Are you by yourself? I figured Aidan and your friends would be here.”

“Nope, just me and you for a while.” he said, taking your makeup bag from you.

“Oh, why is that?” you asked, following him further inside.

He helped you set your things down on the table, turning to you, he said, “Stop it, you know why.”

“Your girlfriend could have kept you company.”

“You are more my girlfriend than she is.” he took your hand, looking down at it, slowly running his thumb over your fingers.

“Don’t get used to saying things like that out loud.”

“Fuck,” he breathed out, grabbing you, “I just want you.” he placed you against the wall.

You moaned softly as you felt his body on yours and his lips met your neck.

His hands swept up your thighs, up your hips to rest there. He slid his palms toward your lower back, then lower.

You gasped as you felt him give your ass a squeeze.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Shit, the guys are early.” Timmy cursed.

sneaking out - t.c x fem!reader

posted jan 21st, 2024 10:50 am

@dingus85 asked : May I request a Tara Carpenter x fem!reader based on Cruel Summer- Taylor Swift where they have been sneaking out to the beach every night (scenario 5). This time they’re just being stupid, and reader accidentally confesses that she likes her. Somewhere in the fic Tara uses one liner 18.

im so sorry for the wait love, I hope u enjoy.

It was Chad’s idea to have one big group vacation for the summer, a simple nearly 50-hour road trip from New York to California. A few weeks on the beach to help everyone recover from the first semester of college and some time for Sam and Tara to learn how to be away from each other again.

Every small-town kid needs a Beach Vacation, right? Well actually, your plans for the summer were to find a good job but just when you wanted to argue, Mindy pointed out that you could share a room with Tara, and Tara responded by clapping her hands together, smiling at you and

“We’ll have so much fun!” 

How could you say no to that?

Everyone had taken turns driving, except for Mindy, her job was to make sure everyone had enough snacks and to ensure you’d make it to the Airbnb in one piece.

You were lucky enough to find one on the beach, giving easy access to the water and the sand that Mindy soon found to be an incredible nuisance, Anika was enjoying the chance to dress up in different beach weather outfits and there was also the perfect spot to play volleyball which Chad forced everyone to do.

And then there were you and Tara, you had the same favorite part of this vacation and it was the late-night bonfires.

You had only one with all of you involved but the following night you both snuck out together to start up another one, and this quickly became routine for the both of you.

You couldn’t help but enjoy this silly game you were playing in your head even if Tara didn’t realize you were playing at all. Sharing a bed, waking up early enough to make breakfast, making the bed, and taking turns to shower after beach days just to sneak off and come back smelling like firewood. 

It was perfect for you, and maybe it was for Tara too, but obviously, you weren’t going to ask. 

Tonight was one of your last nights in California and none of you were ready to leave, except Mindy, who wanted to go home the first week. But of course, you were most worried about going home, everything would go back to normal and you could no longer live in your little bubble with Tara and her soft smiles and giggly laughs,

and your little sneak-out “dates” that were just for you and Tara.

But that just meant you had to make the most of it, which leads you outside sitting on an old beach towel next to the pretty girl, watching the pit of flames dance before your eyes. 

“I’m not ready to go home yet, I like sneakin’ out with you.” Tara’s voice caught your attention, turning to look at her as she spoke. She was thinking the same as you. “We could always sneak out together back in New York” You spoke in the same quiet tone, as if you weren’t allowed to speak louder than the sound of the sea.

Tara pouted, “It’s not the same, though.” Oh. You nodded in agreement looking back at the fire. 

“I wanna go swimming,” She said suddenly, standing up and taking off her sweater, well your sweater, you had let her wear. “Tara, you’ll freeze” You smiled, knowing she wouldn’t listen anyway as she was already walking towards the water, tossing her sweatpants to you as you laughed. 

You watched amused as she eventually made it to the water, she hesitated, “C’mon, my girl Tara Carpenter doesn’t back down from stupid stuff!” You called out in a teasing tone, hearing her laugh as she threw her head back before running straight into the water, “Holy shit!” she yelled, squealing as she resurfaced.

You laughed as Tara ran back up to you, soaking wet and gratefully thanking you as you put the towel around your shoulders. “That was so stupid” she laughed, shivering slightly as you rubbed her arms, laughing with her as you attempted to warm her up. 

“That is why I like you so much” You had barely noticed the words come out as Tara’s smile softened, staring at you with a tilted head and puppy dog eyes. “What?” Tara’s voice was quieter now, still having a slightly shaky tone as she was still freezing. 

“What?” you repeated the question, you could backtrack, sure but Tara wasn’t stupid, she wouldn’t believe that no matter how well you sold it she saw it in your eyes, 

you’re so screwed, you almost laughed.

“What did you say? You like me?” Tara’s grip on the towel tightened a little, that soft look on her face capturing you the way it always did. You opened your mouth to speak but closed it, not knowing how to explain yourself in a way that made sense but Tara spoke up instead.

“Come here and kiss me, dummy” She smiled, and you didn’t want to waste any time as your hands moved to her face and pulled her in, cold, soft lips hitting yours as if they were meant to be on yours. Tara abandoned the towel to hold your wrists. 

“You are so catching a cold,” You said through heavy breaths earning a sweet laugh in response.

“Yeah, but you’ll take care of me.” you smiled at that because obviously you would.

“Yeah, I will.” You said, Tara smiled back.

“I think I will sneak out with you back in New York.”

Newly Discovered Desires

Cruise x Reader

~★~❤︎~✦~

You spent most of your time cooped up in this building. Drinking terrible coffee and eating take out. Even when you left work all you wanted to do was relax, a stressful job will do that. So your social life outside of work was completely non existing, and your romantic life only existed in the books you read. You were okay with that though because your books were plenty or at least you thought they were. 

After a rough day at work T.C. invited everyone out, offering to buy the first round. After the first round there was a second round and by the four your night started to blur. That was your first mistake. The mistake that led to the main mistake, the huge mistake. 

All you needed was your romance books, at least that's what you thought. Now at this moment you're beginning to doubt your previous belief. Cause the feeling of his hands running up your shirt, and his lips grazing your neck sent your senses into overdrive in a way words on a page never could. 

The alcohol in your system only amplifies your reaction to his touch. Never in a million years did you think you would let HIM of all people kiss you. He's a cocky ass, the only reason you tolerate him is because he's good at his job, but tolerating someone is a long way from letting them see you naked. Yet here you are moaning into his mouth. Unbuttoning his shirt and begging him to hurry up. 

That's the last thing you remember, the next day. As soon as you wake up a headache immediately greets you making you groan. The previous night was a blur but the things you did remember couldn’t possibly be true. There's absolutely no way you would kiss him let alone take him back to your apartment. That's what you believed until you opened your eyes and saw him lying next to you. The sight has you jumping out of bed. 

The sudden movement has him, Cruise lifting his head. He lazily flips over making eye-contact with you. He takes a moment to process what's happening and when he finally does he doesn’t seem horrified. In fact he seems the opposite, he's cocky, his signature smirk on his face. “Well isn’t this a sight to see” he eyes you up and down. You finally take a second to see what you're wearing and the sight has you cringing. You're dressed in his white button up and only his white button up.

You reach for the blanket only for Cruise to yank the blanket back. Of course even in a situation like this he's a jerk. “Jesus, how much did I have to drink to overlook your being a jerk?”

“Probably the same amount as me since I forgot just how bitchy you can be.” you openly gasp at him. Before staring at him with a glare that would send anyone running but Cruise just smiles at you before falling to your bed again.

“I’m going to shower and when I come out you're going to be gone and we will never mention this again to anyone” there was an underlying threat to your words one you made sure he picked up on.

“I need to shower too so why don’t we save water” 

“Cruise I’m being serious for all we know nothing happened so there's no need to bring it up again” Yeah maybe the two of you only kissed and you're wearing his shirt because you got hot in the middle of the night and his shirt was the closest thing to you. You were already forcing yourself to believe your unlikely narrative. 

“Yeah you're right I’m sure we just passed out and this condom in the trash is unrelated” Your heart stops your rounding the bed and checking in the trash can to find said condom. “Oh my mistake there's actually two condoms still it could be just a coincidence.” 

“Okay fine we slept together, still this changes nothing.” You were determined to sweep this under the rug. If anyone ever found out about this you would never hear the end of it. 

“Understood, I wouldn’t want anyone finding out about this incident either” You knew why you didn’t want anyone to find out about you and him but you didn’t think he wouldn’t want people to know. What's so bad about sleeping with you? STOP! You clear your mind, take a breath, you don’t care why he doesn’t want people to know. It's good for you that he wants to keep this secret too. Now you can take your shower and not worry that when you get to work everyone will be whispering. 

With one final look at Cruise you slip into the bathroom. You're finally able to take a survey of your appearance. Your hair is a mess and a trail of purple marks on your neck slips below the neckline of your, his shirt. You're slipping off the shirt in a hurry, allowing you to see the full extent of last night's activities. Your body is decorated with various purple marks, a mixture of bruises and hickeys.

He's quick to pull your shirt off, trailing kisses on the newly exposed skin. With every kiss you feel yourself get more and more lost in his touch. 

The memory has you shivering you just need to wash off last night. Put it behind you and never think of it again.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

“I need my shirt” you pick up the shirt cracking the bathroom door and slipping it through the bathroom door. You wait by the door waiting to hear the click of the front door. Once you hear it you finally get in the shower. 

~~~

Cruise said he wouldn't tell anyone and while you wanted to believe him you still found yourself hesitant to actually walk into work. If you didn’t hurry you would be late, gathering all your courage you finally pushed open the doors. 

You're thankful that you made it all the way to your area without anyone giving you knowing looks. It seems he was able to keep his mouth shut after all. 

The rest of your day went smoothly, an average normal day. After your morning/night you're more than thankful for your boring day. Now your going to go home and end your day with delicious food and a good movie. 

“Hey sweetheart, are you heading out?” Of course he has to ruin your night. 

“Since when do you call me sweetheart?” 

“It seems only fitting now that I know just how sweet you taste” a blush covers your face at his words. Cruise smiles at your reaction, taking pride in making you blush. 

“I thought we both agreed to not mention last night ever again”

“That was before I remembered all about last night” that wasn’t fair, you could only remember snippets from last night but if Cruise could remember all of it he has the upper hand. “Why don't you come back to my place and we can recreate last nights activities” 

“Cruise, i thought i made this crystal clear i want nothing to do with you” you words were harsh but you needed to make sure they cut through his thick skull. 

“Okay fine I’ll just return your underwear tomorrow then” it took you a moment to process his words but when you did your gasping. He stole your underwear, what a pervert.

“You stole my underwear?”

“Of course not I borrowed them, as insurance”

“….” You pause for a moment trying to process his words. As insurance, what sane person steals someone's underwear as insurance. Just as you're about to tell him to bring them tomorrow you freeze for a moment. If the last five seconds of this conversation is anything to go by, Cruise is insane. You could already picture him strolling into work and dropping the item in your lap for everyone to see. Even thinking about it was making you embarrassed. No you would have to get them yourself which unfortunately meant going to his place. 

~~

Cruise had been talking non-stop as soon as you sat down. Making the drive to his place excruciatingly long. You were already pouting at the thought of having to do it again. Cruise refused to give you his address so you were forced to ride in his car. Finally you arrive at his place, it's nicer than you thought it was going to be. “Go get them” you don’t plan on spending a second longer here than you have to. 

“Why don’t you have a drink first?” 

“I don’t plan on drinking ever again” he chuckles a little, mumbling something along the lines of ‘oh well I tried’. He heads to the back part of the apartment opening what you're assuming is his bedroom. You wait as patiently as you can for him to reemerge. He comes from the bedroom, your underwear hanging off his pointer finger. As soon as he’s close your reaching for them only for him to yank them away from you. You should have known it wasn’t going to be easy. You reach for them once more, even if it is futile. His 6’0 ass is holding them way above his head. Before you resort to kicking him in his groin you decide to try and sneak attack him. You pretend to give up walking away from him. You watch him out of the corner of your eye, he’s still holding them way above his head. He barely has time to register you running full speed at him, jumping into his arms. Both of you go crashing into the fall, at the last second Cruise is able to steady the two of you. “Are you trying to kill me?” His words are breathless as he tries to catch his breath. You're not focusing on him, however your attention on the underwear balled in his hand that now rests on your hip. You're pulling them from his grasp before he even knows what's happening. 

“I win” you say cheerfully, tucking your newly found clothing item in your pocket. Cruise is too focused on your smile to be mad about you winning. 

“Did you? I’m the one that has you in my arms” his fingers dig into your hips reminding you of the bruises that already rest there.

“That's enough of that, just put me down so you can drop me back off” You try to wiggle out of his grasp but his grip only tightens. You're prepared to tell him off for not putting you down. The words die on your tongue as soon as you lock eyes with him. ‘He has no business looking at me like that’ you think to yourself. 

“Can’t I have a kiss, you did almost kill me” You didn’t feel bad, he deserved it for holding your underwear hostage, so why are you leaning in. 

The kiss turns heated instantly, your hands tangling themselves in his soft hair. While his fingers continue to dig into the flesh of your hips. He pulls away, placing kisses over neck. In between each kiss you hear him mumble ‘Can’t believe that worked’ 

You can’t believe you fell for that cheesy line either. Yet here you are in Cruises arms once again. Turns out his mouth is useful for more than snarky remarks. Your curious what other things he’s been keeping secret…

Canyonwalk Flood, 3rd, 53 T.C.. An isle from Arcane Flight crashed into the ocean, which isn't unusual for the most part as pieces of rock seemingly randomly fall or raise into the air all of the time, except this one was exceptionally large. The result was a wave of water that crashed into the western side of Earth territory with all of it funneling into the expansive canyon system that many dragons called home. The flood water recorded to hit more than one hundred feet high - one hundred and fifty at the highest points within the canyon walls. Raging sea scraped low houses off the sides of cliffs and tore into dug in homes.

World Building Wednesday yippee.

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought it would be fun to post an old AU that I was inspired to make before S3 aired based off the ragtag group that is the Coven Heads.

So before Thanks to Them aired, I got the wildest thought on a possible "What If" about the fate of the Coven Heads with The Collector being freed. Long story short, thought it would be a cruel twist of fate if they ended up cursed like Eda because The Collector, going to call them T.C. for now, wanted to make them more "fun" for the "Owl House" game.

Essential, when the kids came back they ended up going to Eda place and are ambushed by a fully Cursed Raine which. After Luz finds one of Eda potions still hidden in the house, Raine tells them what happened while they were gone. One resolution battle later with T.C. and Belos, it's now up to the kids to find the other heads and change them back cause, per Eda, no one deserves to lived trapped in their own bodies.

Half a season worth of adventures later to find and revert the heads back to their original forms, with no cure for being cursed discovered yet despite T.C. powers, Eda and Lilith takes it upon themselves to teach them how to lived their new lives.

Some rough sketches of what their "hybrid" forms look like once they harmonized with their curse beasts.

Additional details under the cut.

Raine curse beast is a "vampire" bat and the kids find them in Eda place cause they sought out a place of safety after transforming. Their compromise with the beast is to drink blood every so often, much to their disgust. Is granted night vision and flight when in hybrid form.

Darius curse beast is a kraken and the kids find them in the sea. Refused to fight Hunter, so the kids used that to their advantage to defeat them. Their compromise with the beast is to do long soaks in sea water, to his annoyance cause "sea water is horrible for his skin". Is granted the ability to breath under water and a octopus ability to squeeze into small places.

Eberwolf curse beast is a manticore and was found near Darius cause, despite being lost in their own mind they still sought out their friend/brother. Was the fastest to compromise with their curse cause they didn't mind eating raw meat. Is granted a prehensile "leech tail, alongside increased strength and speed in their hybrid form.

Adrian curse beast is a spynx and the kids find him in an abandoned theater/castle since some part of him still wanted to be near civilization. The only head who has a beast who the kids can understand in full curse form. Takes the longest to compromise with their beast cause they both have massive ego's, and the fact that Adrian does not want to read a whole philosopher book or eat rats. Is granted flight and increased cat like reflexes.

Terra curse beast is a giant snake, and the kids find her in an overgrown forest caused by her magic still being "active". Her compromise with the beast is to eat live animals and daily sunbathing. Her hybrid form turns her into a Lamia similar to a boa constrictor.

Vitimir curse beast is a mosquito/dragon hybrid and is found buzzing around a cliff face where Hettie curse form also resided. Their compromised with their cursed beast is to drink blood. Their hybrid form grants them flight, a needle tongue, and the ability to store liquids in a "throat sack" that they then can use to spray people with boiling/noxious liquids.

Hettie curse beast is a minotaur and is found in a cave on a cliff. Her compromised involved her eating raw meat. Her hybrid form grants her increase strength and improved sense of hearing and smell.

Mason curse beast is a lava golem and is found in a basin where they were literally melting the surrounding area where they walked. Matt and Steve have to help turn him back to normal. His compromise with his beast is to eat rocks/stones and sunbathing. His hybrid forms allows him to manipulate heat and create magma from the rocks he consumes.

Osran curse beast form is a giant spider and is found deep in a cave. His compromised with his beasts involves eating insects. His hybrid forms grants extra mobility, armor like chitin, web making from his snot (much to his chagrin), and improved night vision.

Good morning!!

It's my birthday!! 🥳

Got any spare headcanons for me to consume?

WHAAA we’re like 2 weeks apart!!

🎊 🎂 💃🏽 ✨ HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ✨ 🎊 🎂 💃🏽 Have a good one!

Sorry I’m like a whole day late responding but I could barely check in at all yesterday and today asfhjkl

SO ~

-Even though he’s used to it, sometimes Dibble can’t help but skip a heartbeat whenever one of the cats hops off a long way up. He knows they can stick the landing just fine, he knows they like pulling this over his head because he’s a human and can’t keep up with even 10% of their acrobatics but it’s still a little scary when T.C does crazy shit like jump off the equivalent of 3-5 stories at a construction site onto a metal beam that’s barely a foot in width without breaking a sweat - Fancy walks along telephone poles to get to a girl’s window - Brain just free falls from ledges with nothing but a flimsy rope, etc. They’re all nimble, but he can’t help but be scared watching that

-Ever since Patrick moved into their neighborhood, he always has a couple ‘over-ordered pizzas no one wanted’ put away just for the cats when it’s any of their birthdays

-T.C isn’t a fan of dogs, but it doesn’t mean he’ll just watch some hungry, homeless mutt eat something left out that he knows is sinister. It’s one of the subtle responsibilities he does around the alley - he sniffs any food left out, and immediately removes anything he thinks is poisoned or tampered with. Some people are just sick

-The short stint when they had baby Charlie? They couldn’t get enough of sniffing the baby’s head. Human babies smell so good it’s ridiculous. Too bad the adults smell gross tho

-Like most alley cats, it’s not out if the ordinary for the gang to sometimes sleep in until noon (much to Dibble’s exasperation), and by night they’re wide awake and very mischievous

-Benny had asked the gang a couple times to help him lose weight by not yielding to him so easily whenever he cracks and reaches over for food. Everyone tried - man did they try - but Benny’s kicked kitten face is so brutal no one can hold the food away from him for more than a couple hours. The fastest to give in, funnily enough? T.C.

-Fancy’s fur happens to be the most water-resistant of the gang, and he’s a pretty good swimmer. His coat always looks awesome when he shakes off the water and it makes the girls swoon

Well

I know busking to pay the water bill was a bust, but do you think anyone could pay like $7 so I could break a five and get 20 gallons of water so I can pour into the toilets and flush again.

Spent the last day with piss in the commode.

Tho realistically at least 10 gallons will go to change the duck's water cuz it's not raining like I hoped.

I'm gonna stream Splatoon 3 once I wake up, so if you want I can shout you out when I stream if you gib before I start.

How I would redesign the two "Yikes" Enemies in Pizza Tower.

Ok so let us first explain the two "Yikes" Enemies in the game: First is Tribe Cheese from the Level "Oregano Desert". We all know WHY this one is a "Yikes", it's a racist caricature of Native Americans. Second is Mr. Pinch. Mr. Pinch is based off of Scrooge from a Christmas Carol which some may think seems like a normal thing to base a character off of... but it turns out Scrooge is based on multiple antisemitic stereotypes. So they should also get a redesign as well.

THE T.C REDESIGN IDEA (listen I do not have a name for this one)

Oregano Desert also has the first appearance of the U.F.Olive. So, why not redesign the Tribe Cheese into an olive character? OLIVE GUY (listen I do not have a good name) is a U.F.Olive who had their machine crash in the desert. Normally used to the AC of the Machine, they became very hot. In order to Beat The Heat, they used the parts of their machine to make a motion activated sprinkler, which while it does manage to cool them off, the water also evaporates and condenses fairly quickly into the Thunderclouds currently connected to the Tribe Cheese. If an Olive Guy sees Peppino, they will be shocked for a few reasons before throwing a Wrench at Peppino. Peppino can leap over the sprinkler to achieve the Chef Task "Cool Off". (a lot of people forget that Tribe Cheese has a Chef Task currently tied to it. So any redesign still needs to have a way for the task to be completed)

MR. PINCH (Yeah he keeps the name)

Mr. Pinch is seen in the sewer level of the game, hanging out in a pipe. Sewers are wet. Pizza Tower already has an aesthetic similar to Cartoons. Crabs Pinch. Mr. Krabs is from a Nickelodeon Cartoon, and is fairly greedy.

Replace Mr. Pinch with a Mr. Krabs Expy. You done even need to change the name there, Mr. Pinch still fits as a name.

And thats all for this post

[iheartgod175]

Hiya, iheartgod175... Will The Goofy Guards be the members of Immortal Blades in Eclipsed Horizons too? Does Sea of Dark Water (which was mentioned in T.C.'s profile about Godslayer Chainbreaker suit) refer to Pirates of the Dark Water? Will SWAT Kats exist in Previous Era or Current Era? Will Judy attend Jane's funeral after Jane sacrificed herself to save Elroy? Will Magilla gain his battlesuit too? How about the Teen Angels since Captain Caveman will appear?

Since I'm apparently in a mood for Honkai Impact this morning, here's a few answers to your questions!

I haven't quite figured out what the Goofy Guards' roles would be yet, but that's something I might keep in mind. I've always wanted a team up between the Goofy Guards and Touché ^^

Yes, that's what it refers to!

If I ever get around to including the SWAT Kats, they'd be in the Current Era.

Yeah, and you can bet there'd be no shortage of feelings there. Judy and George would eventually go on their own paths after Jane's death; more on a coming post!

Magilla may get a suit of his own. But I haven't really thought much about him appearing in the main story. He might get a chance to shine if I ever decide to do an adaptation of APHO.

Don't worry, the Teen Angels and Captain Caveman will definitely appear, but that might be later on down the road.

Beyond Business-part five//t.c.

Warnings: mention of a toxic/unhappy relationship, cursing

You brought some burritos back to Timothée’s house for lunch after finishing his errands.

“Hey, you’re back.” he announced cheerfully.

“Yeah.” you answered with very little enthusiasm, setting the bag of hot food on the kitchen island, along with his mail and other items you had collected throughout your jaunt.

“Hungry? Let’s eat.” he said, grabbing the bag and opening the top to take things out.

You assumed the role of getting out plates and silverware, not to mention cups to drink out of.

“Hey, I already got it, just sit down.” he insisted.

You turned from the cabinet, seeing that he already set two places at the table. “Oh, okay.” This was not like him. You never thought he’d do that, not even for a date or if he was having family over. He wasn’t the hospitable type.

You each sat down, having your first few bites of lunch in quietness.

“So, y/n.” he began.

“Yes?”

“I just want to apologize to you. I’ve been a real dick to you lately, and I don’t know of anyone else that would have stuck around like you have. I’ve made a habit of depending on you too much, one might say I’ve toed over some boundaries. And for that, I’m sorry.”

You sighed, knowing that he meant every word, “It’s okay.”

“I won’t be bothering you at home again. And no more calls in the middle of the night for you to pick me up.” he affirmed, taking a bite of his burrito.

“Timmy, if you’re ever out drinking somewhere and need a ride, you can call me. I’d rather be a little annoyed with you than have you be…lying in a ditch somewhere.”

He smirked humorously, “Well, I appreciate you for that. But otherwise, I’ll leave you alone in your personal time. It’s just…I guess I started to think of you as my friend and not my assistant.”

“Yeah, I think of you as my friend sometimes too.” Suddenly, your personal vow had a shelf life.

He smiled at that, “Hm. Seems we are conflicted here. Between wanting to be professionals and wanting to be friends, I mean.”

"Do you think we could do both?" you asked, testing the waters.

His green eyes wandered to the side as he thought for a moment, pursing his lips, he answered, "Yeah, we're both mature adults."

"Are we?" you quipped, giving him a look with a quirked brow.

Timmy chuckled, "Well, you're a mature adult. I am trying. So, I think we could be friends, it just so happens that you do all my shit for me."

"Yeah, I think the work part should always come first. Like I'm your assistant, and then your friend."

He looked downward a bit, a strange curve took over his mouth, "Is that for your own protection?"

You shrugged, "I don't want you to hurt me, Timmy. I think you might have the tendency to do that to people. Even if you don't mean to or even realize it."

He pondered a moment on what you said, taking a breath in. "Well, we have the Globes this weekend. I'd like for you to make sure everything is set up. You're coming with me."

Always the best at avoiding subjects, you thought. "Oh? Okay. I can take care of everything. Um, driver, hotel?"

"No hotel, just stay in touch with Tom Ford, they are dressing me."

"Okay. Is Kylie going with you? Do I need to do anything on her end?"

Not looking at you, he simply said, "No. Set up a time with Jamie on Sunday as well."

You noted the continued curtness at the mention of his girlfriend. "Sure thing. Someone needs to tame that mop." you joked, trying to lighten the mood.

He smirked at you, shaking his head, "I'm gonna go over my script if you need me."

"Okay." you gave him a grin.

……..

As you completed your work tasks, you couldn’t help but think about how Timmy’s mood always seemed to change if Kylie was brought about in conversation. You wondered if you knew the truth about how their relationship was, maybe you could help him. Be his friend. And as his assistant, you could help him keep focused and his moods even keel.

You knew it would be a difficult conversation. He could be a hard person to get information out of, especially on this sensitive subject.

As evening hours approached, you were finished with the Golden Globes planning, so you decided to try and talk to him.

"Heading out?" he asked, looking tired as he was slouched in his chair in the living room.

"Yeah, but I was hoping we could talk about something before I go."

He nodded, "Sit down." He knew this was coming.

You obliged him, sitting in the other chair next to him. "So, I think it would be easier for me to... gauge your mood and mindset if I knew what was really going on in your relationship with Kylie. I'm on your team, Timmy. I can't help you if I don't know what's going on."

He sighed heavily, "It's complicated, which you know. I met her, we kinda clicked as friends. And it turned into a friends-with-benefits sort of thing. She'd come over to my house and paparazzi photos were everywhere." his voice got a little softer in the next phrase, "Still not sure if they were tipped off about her car being in my driveway." He shook his thoughts away, continuing, "Then it's all-over social media that we're dating. We both got a lot of attention, more followers."

"So it's all for publicity?"

"I mean, it didn't start that way. I liked hanging out with her at first. And the sex was always there whenever I wanted. Then she just kept wanting more, more appearances together, she started calling me her boyfriend, telling her friends and family we're together. She asked me about meeting her kids. I don't know it's just a lot. I don't like all the attention she brings. Anytime we have to go out together feels like such a chore. There's always people saying shit online after we're seen together. It fucking drains me."

"What does your family think?"

He sighed, "They don't love it. But they let me make my own decisions. I am an adult, after all."

"Why do you stay?" you shook your head, "If you're not happy, I mean."

He ran his hand over his face, "I don't know. I can't be that douchebag that dumps one of the most famous women in the world."

"Who cares about any of that? Can't you just be a friend to yourself? Think of your mental health, Timmy. You're tired all the time, I see you."

He stood up, "I don't want to talk about this anymore. You know the truth, so is that good enough for now?"

You stood up, staring right back at him. Face to face, neither of you backing away, you said, "Yes. Thank you for telling me. Goodnight, Timmy." It was enough, for today anyway. He was done, and you respected that.

As you walked away, he said, "Y/n, wait."

So, you stopped, turned on your heels to look at him once again. "Yeah?"

He let out a breath, "Neverminded, nothing. See you tomorrow."

Life in Russia being in a process of discovering your non-binaryness or possibly being trans... Is like a railway to Hell but with a cat treats.

You are constantly on a verge of tears because every single man around you is calling you madam or girl, just because it is a basic option of addressing someone. Especially in a retail. It is a homophobic country, so you get even more comments about yourself like death threats from old men or sayings like "u need to get pregante asap because you are getting stupid and selfish" from random people.

But also... It is supernice to be able to wear flags, t-shirts with symbols e t.c., because no one gives a fuck??? Nobody who are not ally simply do not know what is a non-binary flag. If I even have rainbow socks, too many pins, even sometimes make-up in non-binary colours... I simply can do it. No questions. Also if addressing in different genders to myself I had zero backsplash. As long as I don't mention, you know, RaInBoW pEoPlE - I am fine and well respected mostly? Even by elderly people. Even if I am being absolute menace or punk.

Having a gender-neuteal name is also helping. Yeah, it is not ideal, but we have several authors with this name, like, Kir Bulichev, and a lot of younger boys named Kirill use Kira as short, so it is not an exclusively girls name anymore. So yeah, just some observations, as someone who buzzed their hair and dipped into a water of being genderless, visually at least.

God's Law - Prophecy Introduction

Hope all is well with you. May the Lord protect you and your families, give you peace and lead you to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The study of God’s Law and Prophecy regarding the Messiah will lead us to the conclusion that Jesus Christ is the Messiah; the Son of God, who took on the form of a man, dying on a cross to pay the penalty for our sins, being Resurrected three days later, forever defeating Death.

I urge you to get into the habit of meditating on God. In our fast-paced society, we often do not take time to clear our minds, search our hearts and seek our true purpose on this earth.

Maybe you have heard of Jesus and God or maybe you haven’t; perhaps this is a brand new subject to you. Even if you have not heard of Him, you are indeed searching for God, perhaps without realizing it. As you have heard me say before, each human being is born with a yearning for God; that is why you can never be satisfied for any sustained period of time! You are searching for God! Religion cannot satisfy, only a relationship with Jesus Christ. When you find Him you can finally be truly satisfied by accepting the Salvation He offers.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? (Psalm 42:1-2)

“On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37-38)

I cannot save you. Only Jesus can! My goal is to ignite a spark in you to seek Salvation through the Cross of Jesus Christ; to open your heart to the Holy Spirit.

Knowledge of the Law shows us what Sin is.

Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.(Romans 3:20)

I think you know what sin is; you know it in your heart. You have a soul; you have a conscience – you know what is right and what is wrong. You know it is wrong to dishonor your parents. You know it is murder to kill a baby in the womb. You can say you do not believe in God nor His Word, but if you will truly examine your heart and soul, you will be forced to acknowledge you are on the wrong side of God’s Word. I beg you to get right with God!

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, `who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” (Romans 1:18-21)

At the end of the day, it is your decision to accept or reject Jesus; He will not force you and no one can do it for you. Jesus tells us that most people will reject Him; only a few will accept Jesus.

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”  (Matthew 7:13-14)

I invite you; I welcome you to stay with us for this discussion on God’s Law and Prophecy.

Hola I got my hip surgery today so I'm stoopu doopu in the hospital currently and figured I'd yeet some medical headcanons at you 😁

We know T.C. canonically hates hospitals and I feel like it's probably because someone he was close to died in one (yay sadness)

Also related the gang has to practically drag him to the doctor to get him treated for anything and sometimes they have to go get Dibble to help wrangle and contain him

Chooch and Fancy are both hella dramatic when they get something as harmless as a cold or stubbing their toes a little too hard, they're both slight hypochondriacs lmao

Meanwhile Spook is the opposite of a hypochondriac he could dislocate his shoulder and he'd be like 'nah like I'm fine man don't like get all Worriesville about it pops,' (except when he's sick)

Also Spook doesn't get sick often cos he's got a beefy immune system but when he does get sick it's BAD and he looks like a dying Victorian child that one scene in CGaL be like

Brain gets injured constantly and half the time he has no idea how, that boy's definitely got some form of nerve damage that prevents him from feeling pain like he should so sometimes he'll just come back with a gash in his arm unknowingly and T.C.'s just like 'OH MY GOD'

Dibble has had to have major surgery at some point and didn't tell the gang and oh BOY was T.C. OFFENDED when he found out

Anyways yeah so far so good I'm chilin and I'm gunna start doing EVEN MORE TOP CAT ART N FICS N THINGS because I will be BORED

Yoooooooo it’s done? I wish you a speedy recovery!! 🙏✨🙏✨ (are they givin you the gud stuff there lol jk jk)

And YES

MY TC BUDDY PLS GIMME THESE HCS ANYTIME I NEED EM

“We know T.C. canonically hates hospitals and I feel like it's probably because someone he was close to died in one” Yep, and that’s why I headcanon hospitals to TC are more associated with morgues than recuperation.

Chooch and Fancy totally be little drama kings when they’re sick. And they love being taken care of.

And yes Spook. Asdfgjlkl OMG Spook. He severely understates any pain or injury. And being struck with something annoying like the flu or a cold just makes him curt and snappish.

His time away from the gang in CGaL is taking a toll on his health tho and he’s becoming very thin and gaunt :’(

Brain’s HC is spot on - and whenever he gets an unfortunate case of catching fleas, T.C has no choice but to give him a full bath. It makes him feel guilty, because Brain is very iffy with water. When he was younger and still new to the gang, the first time T.C. had to get him in the bath, Brain began to cry, and T.C. felt horrible. They discovered that for some reason, Brain is very uncomfortable with the feeling of water on his head. Since then, they try to give him a bath without getting any water on there.

Benny is every doctor’s dream patient. He does his best to stay still and quiet whenever he’s being checked or worked on. And he purrs the whole time. He’s the complete opposite of T.C in that he doesn’t hate hospitals and has no associated trauma with them.

I can’t WAIT for some TC fics and stuff and fill my inbox with chats and HCs anytime!
