#THANK U FOR THE ASK I CRAVE IDEAS ALWAYS HAHAHA

[baylardian-1]

Heard ya askin for requesties on Twitter so might I trouble you for a "Chakotay finding out Kathryn is pregnant" in this trying time?

I don't think they'd be particularly THRILLED about having a baby, especially if we're following the Beyer books' canon where they're both already on a tight leash with Starfleet to keep things "formal" between them. And the fact that they're on this several year-long mission in unexplored, knowingly dangerous space. At least Kathryn's had the luxury of 4 months to herself to come to terms with the idea of it prior to returning to Chakotay and the fleet from her time on Earth. I think Chakotay would feel guilt for putting her in the same position she was in years ago with Tom and the unexpected and unplanned nature of things. But she'd assure him that she's ready and that she knows he is too. :)

hiiiiiii 5. 26. 35. i don’t know what a squish is so you can decide what it is if you also don’t know LOL

HAHAHA thank u erin 💞💞💞 i quickly googled "squish" bc i also have no idea what that is and just learned it's a "platonic crush" 🥺🥺

5. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?

yeah :''')

26. What are some seemingly childish things you like?

i think the easiest answer branching off #5 would be plushies LOL. i have a very strong attachment to the ones ive had since i was little and refuse to let my mom get rid of them (she always goes through "cleaning" phases a few times a year when she wants to throw/give lots of stuff away). hot chocolate would be another thing, i always crave it in the winter, esp around christmas. is that childish??? idek but i cant think of anything else rn! im sure there's gotta be more than just these two things 🤡🤡

35. Do you currently have a squish?

ok..........and im not just saying this but...................u !!!!!!! AND @hotgirlhirsch @deansbarmitzvahtraxx @kellyscabin and @gayangelsmp3 ..............😳👉🏻👈🏻💞😖🥺💓😍🥰 crushing very hard on yall !!! ask me something ! <3

[lexsang]

can u talk more about your experiences using the black books . net?? i'd love to find some resource to look for donors with but im a little intimidated hahaha!

maybe also a little bit about other donors you've had (not met online) and how those interactions go?? thank you!!

I certainly can! My experience with it has been pretty positive. I have lived (for the most part) in the past many years, in areas that are decently populated, but dont really seem to be very populated when it comes to vampires. Even events that might make it easier to find vamps, like goth clubs are nearly non existent. And the black books have not only helped me find prospective donors, but also other vampires in my area. I have been fairly lucky since I have had a donor for quite a while that I can feed from when I need to, but I had also reached out before that to get blood when I was in harsher spots. Life got pretty complicated, so I wasnt able to follow through with some of the connections I had made, but everyone I have found through the black books was pleasant to talk to and willing to help. If you're intimidated by it, I still suggest checking it out since you should at least be able to take a look at the map they have and see if there is anyone near you. Sadly, some of the other things in their site arent exactly organized very well, they also have a list of groups and organizations, but it hasnt been the easiest to search through in my experience. Beyond just the black books, you can google vampire feeding directories. Most of these will be old email lists, generally far too old to still be relevant to use, but I have gotten a response because of reaching out to someone who's info I found on one of those as well. As long as you're polite and clear with your intentions, people seem to be very understanding. As far as finding donors in person, it is a much bigger challenge, and it can go either way depending on the person you ask. I have only had one person who has actually been willing to let me feed from them, and they are my current donor. I generally told my past significant others, since vampirism is such a big part of my life, I don't want to feel that I'm keeping a big part of myself from the person i want to be closest with, which did not always go well. But I can also tell you that the people that it didnt go well with turned out to not have my best interests at heart in the end anyways. I had a past s/o who said they would be happy to help, but only if my cravings got really horrible, and sadly, when I really needed to feed, they changed their mind. Of course it is their body and their choice whether I can feed from them or not, but looking back now, I do question the motives behind it. I really do want people to try and find donors, and it is true that the best donors are generally people you are close to. I certainly don't want to scare anyone off of the idea of finding a donor because of my experiences. There is oftentimes trial and error, and in the end you can find a donor who is there when you need them to be, and that is an amazing thing to have. If anything the ability to look for a donor online is one that makes life a whole lot easier.

What level of control do you feel a Werewolf should have? Should they be fully in control of themselves no matter their form, Should they have some level of control but certain urges (like hunting or food) overpower their sense of self and they fully give in to being a beast, or should the Werewolf have no control of their bestial half? Or is it a mix of the three and like it depends on how experienced/ the will of the particular Werewolf?

HAHAHA LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Anon you ask all the questions I never think abt...Thank u sm!!!!

Another long post...Also this one is even more rambly and I didnt proof read dis time...

I do very much prefer it being a mix of them, where werewolves who've been werewolves longer (Or just. Born werewolves) really just have a better grasp of their lycanthropy! Born werewolves have been dealing with being a werewolf their whole lives and it's a HUGE part of them, it's just what they do! For born werewolves, it's not really a Beast that they've tamed or they suppress, it's just Them. But I feel like werewolves who are turned have such a different view on this because...It's not them. It's not like how they used to be, it's not who they were, and it's probably scary to have all these new urges and instincts that they didn't have previously. Seemingly something that they can't control and they have no one to air their grievances to most of the time. Is this just their life now? Are they never going to be the way they were before? Are they always going to crave things like hunting, running away and never coming back, or something worse? Will they never be able to be "themselves" again? I think it's not entirely the symptoms/urges themselves they're afraid of, but it's more like the fact they're happening outside of their own will that's terrifying to them.. And it's just something that they usually just have to deal with, unfortunately.

I will say though that the idea of a turned werewolf who very much prefers the freeing idea that being turned into a weerwolf brings is!!!!!!!! Fun!!! And so cathartic!!!!! Werewolves who didn't like their previous life for any number of reasons (Didnt like who they were, didn't like not having the freedom to do what they wanted, didn't feel at home with the way they perceive themselves) and feeling like they can start fresh as a werewolf, and find new parts of themselves that they never thought they could have is probably pretty good for them. Getting the oppertunity to "start over" in a way by completely re-evaluating yourself and who you are now that you are a Cool Dog is neat to me!!! They don't really care that they wanna go for more runs and engage in more wolf/beast-like behaviour, because even though it wasn't what they were before and it's completely new and unfamiliar, the way they were before wasn't familiar either.

Turned werewolves that find themselves when they become werewolves 🤝 Turned werewolves who are now scared of themselves/who they're becoming and how unfamiliar they're becoming

And uh born werewolves who are just kinda standin' there hoping the other two are ok

[nikosomething]

Heyyyy! I'm back again. Sorry it took a while to send this ask! Mmm I'd choose the lan sect cuz I need some form of structure in my life lol. I'm not too bad with rules either. But I'd definitely hate their food. I eat wwx levels of spicy and hence I'd like to join the jiang sect haha. Also, their sword forms look nice? YASSS We'd LOOK SO GOOD! 💙🖤 ooh I like what you read. I like reading pining, arranged marriage aus, crack fics, post canon fics, missing scenes, I like canon divergence aus that concentrate on characters other than wwx and lwj. I also like fics with sad endings haha. (1/4)

I'm a big multishipper, too! There's no ship that I don't like? My favorites would be wangxian and sangcheng though. I'm always up to reading these two ships, but I'd read anything really. I feel yah, I do. I can't pick a junior either. I love them all dearly but I tend to get bored if lan jingyi isn't there in junior fics? I need Jingyi to be a major part of the fic if I'm to like it haha. (2/4)

I loooooove Asian cuisine. My favorite is Indian! All that spice, you know? I hope you ate good food since you made yourself hungry answering that lol. Your answer about the seasons is so detailed and beautiful? I love?? Mmmm my favorite season is the rainy season. It's the best. I love the melancholy, the cold and the sound of water tapping against the windows. I'd rather stay at home than venture outside in the rain tho! Winter is the most comfortable time for me, really. I hate the summer! I love the cold and end of the year is my favorite time! (3/4)

Now questions! Have you read any other mxtx works? Also, if you could change one thing is mdzs, what would it be? Do you have any post canon wangxian headcanons? Oooh, what's your favorite wangxian moment in CQL? General questions- do you celebrate Christmas? If you do, are you excited and how do you celebrate? Do you drink coffee or tea or neither or something else? What other shows have you watched except CQL this year? Aight, that's so many questions haha. (4/4) See you soon- 🐰

_______

Heyyyy my dear bunny! I missed ya! But don’t worry, life gets busy sometimes, so take all the time you need <3

Whoahhhh so cool that you can eat intensely spicy food!! I am trying to get used to spicy stuff, but I got a looong way to go haha I detect every gain of pepper or chili or whatever so I am only making slow progress, but I do enjoy spice - up to the level I can take without ending up all red and teary-eyed haha I enjoy good food a lot, too. I like to have some variation so I’d probably be unhappy if I had to only ever eat the Lan cuisine, too hahaha

Ohhhh arranged marriage, people keep recommending it to me - I shoudl really give it a go at some point! Any good fics you wanna recommend? And omggg sad endings!!! Whoah, I bow to you! I’s always pick a happy ending but then again the ending has to fit the need of the story, so I suppose if a happy ending would feel forced then pls gimme a sad one, perhaps even one we can all learn from And yessss, there are so many amazing characters in MDZS I totally get why you’d wanna read about them!! <3

Ah Sangcheng! It’s quite the popular ship I feel. I think it’s cute and a close friend of mine really loves them, too. I bet they’d be excited if I got into that ship as well haha What do you love about Sangcheng? (sell it to meh hahaha, get me hooked) JINGYI!! Yes, he’d the spice we need in the junior fics! He is just so much fun! I think all of them together make such a perfect and well-balanced mix! Perf flavour hahaha What’s it with all the food references here. Am I mildly thinking about food again? Whaaaat Ohhhh Indian!!! (here we go again w the food hahaha) Damn I love Indian food! I cant take the spice so I always go for the noob dished, but they are amazing,t oo! What makes you hate the summer? Do you dislike sweating? You make it sound so cozy ahhh, I am happy we get to spend your fav season together, then, my dear bunny!! I love these timeless days between christmas and the beginning of the new year. It feels like everything is catching its breath and makes whatever you can think of become a bit more possibe

MXTX-related Questions

So far I haven’t read any other works of MXTX, but I think I wanna get to the one with the demonic guy in red and the white soft one next. What was it called? Heaven something? Now TMI tells me ‘City of Heavenly Fire’ which is absolutely not helpful. Uhm.. I could look it up, but then u wouldn’t witness my absolutely entertaining struggle of trying to make my brain work. The Scumbag Self Serving System (did I get that one right) is the first novel if I am correct. And then there is the Heavenly Helper... No... uhm Mysteries of Heaven... Heaven’s Helping Hand... I don’t think it’s getting any better here. I even watched the Donghua trailer wtf why can’t I remember hahaha... Voices of Heaven (that sounds like an American Singing Contest) Okay... imma look it up now.  HEAVEN’S OFFICIAL BLESSING! that one. I was so close Have you read any other works? <3

If I could change one thing in MDZS, what would it be? I would want for XXC and XY to not die, thank you. But then again how about non of my baes die? Okay, lemme try again, to get an impressive and seemingly deep reply... Have Meng Yao realise what kind of a horrible butt his dad is early enough to prevent most of the bad things that happen. I am not sure - but what’s your idea on this one?

My favourite WangXian moment? In CQL it’s the one where they are both at the Cloud Recesses, watching the snowflakes dance through the air. Their bond feels so deep there! Or the one where they are at the lantern thing and WWX get’s LWJ the bunny lantern. Just... the pure happiness. Or the one where they are bold husbands and run away from Carp Tower. Is it even humanly possible to pick just one moment?? Which one is it for you?

General Questions

Do I celebrate Xmas? Yes, I do! I go to my mom’s place for Xmas, where we have dinner and then her boyfriend puts on his super old, super old and worn-out Santa clothes (which is very endearing, cause he is always having the time of his life). Then he hands us our presents which are gathered under the decorated Xmas tree and we have to cite a poem or sing to earn each present. Afterwards we all unpack together, excitedly thanking each other, have dessert and then watch a movie or a video of our past christmasses someone put together It’s all very wholesome. How about you?

Coffee, tea or something else? I like Moccachino, cause it’s an amazing hybrid of coffee and cocoa!! It’s best with coconut milk! That kind of coffee makes me feel all cozy and comfy, but I handle it like a treat. I only drink one, while a close friend of mine drinks several cups of milky coffee a day. I also love cocoa, but I drink it like others drink espresso. I tiny highly concentrated cup. No more. Like a shot of chocolate hahaha I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but sometimes I crave it. As for tea, I looove herbal tea! Peppermint and Fennel Caraway Anise are amazing. Also freshly brewed ginger tea. And green tea with jasmine/flower blossoms or white tea. Big love for these. All of which without sugar so the flavour comes out to speak of its very own beauty I also like mate tea to keep me awake! Otherwise I love water or - omg - freshly pressed apple juice! The! best! Try it if you aren’t allergic! AHHHH that is honestly THE TREAT for me. Rare treat. I don’t even have it once a year. More like every four years or so. But dang. The. best. How about you? <3

Which shows have I watched this year? Many. Lots of cooking shows (on Netflix), cause, you know, food. xD By now I probably know almost all of them. There was a time when I was thoroughly up to date with ALL cooking shows on Netflix. One of my big dreams is being wealthy enough to hire a cook. To cook for me every day. Yes, yes. Otherwise lots of Asian shows. I can recommend:

Hotel Del Luna (omg, do urself a favour, judging from what I know about your taste I think you will like it a lot) also The King Eternal Monarch (good one, very good one)

I also watched Eternal Love and Eternal Love The Pillowbook, which were okay, but they aren’t my favourites Cinderella and the Four Knights was sweet Accidentally in Love was fun but has some major plot holes in my opinion I enjoyed She-Ra Who Are You moved me quite a bit ahhhh Extraordinary You was quite the ride, too!

What are your 2020 shows?

The squeaky sound of the snow beneath your boots, as you and him stepped in rhythm, was pleasantly music to your ears. Even only with your hands inside the pockets of your long black windbreaker, the warmth was enough, because his presence beside you was all you needed in this cold season.

Your heart was growing every step you take, and his heart felt the same too. The absence of the conversation between the two of you isn’t exactly bothering, as long you hear each other’s breaths and footsteps, you’re both satisfied.

Your right hand was suddenly taken away in a swift move, and the warmness of the clothing was immediately replaced by his own body heat.

“This is nice, huh?” He asked, a hint of smile was obvious from his tone.

“Yeah,” You simply replied, interlacing your fingers with him. Your cheek softly bumped on his clothed arm as he pulled you a little closer to him.

The road was empty from people, but filled with snow. The weather was indeed gracious, it wasn’t raining snowflakes. Both of you were strolling on the main road that leads to nowhere, which made you wonder where he would bring you.

“Josh, where exactly we are heading to?” He automatically turned to you as you spoke.

Joshua shrugged, gripping your hands tighter. “I don’t know.” He stiffled a chuckle, the corner of his eyes forming a small wrinkle.

You couldn’t help but look at him in disbelief, playfully hitting his arm. “Do you seriously have no plan?” You gasped.

He looked at you preciously as if you are the most delicate being he had ever laid his eyes on. “I don’t know. Will you still be with me wherever this road lead us to?” His eyes twinkling with hope as he asked.

You yourself witnessed the way his aperture shone, making your heart grow with excitement. “I’d go everywhere as long as you’re beside me.” You replied, giving him a contenting smile.

He was pleased, feeling the butterflies in his stomach go crazy as you beamed. He was speechless, making a nonverbal response and planting his soft yet cold lips on your hair near the temple.

A giggle escaped your lips as you felt him kiss you, looking back down to your synchronized steps. “Where do you think the boys are celebrating right now?” You asked, watching the way your feet bury on the pile of snow.

“Probably went home to their families and just have a chill time with them.” He answered, looking at the view ahead.

It hit you how he was the only one who’s family was miles away. Though you didn’t want to feel bad for him, you still thought how it was such a pity to have him celebrate Christmas with you than with his own family.

It was as if Joshua had read your mind when he warned you, “Don’t say you’re sorry.” You bit your bottom lip, feeling totally guilty. “I’m fine to celebrate Christmas with you. Actually, I am beyond fine. You have no idea how everything is so much better when you’re around.” He smiled brightly.

“Gosh, you’re so cheesy.” You grunted playfully, feeling your cheeks heat up. 

Joshua felt a buzz in his pocket, loosening his grasp from your hand as he fished for his phone. When he had checked the caller id, he gave you a quick glance before excusing himself to answer the call.

From a small distance, Joshua’s faint greeting was all you could hear, the rest of the the conversation was unheard. You stepped back, almost falling backwards as your heel landed on a firm snowball. You gained your balance, looking at Joshua who’s back was rather facing yours. Then a thought came up your mind.

You crouched, grabbing a handful pile of snow, molding it firmly into a ball, before hiding your little weapon behind as Joshua finished his conversation with the unknown caller. You stayed still on your position, while Joshua turned back to you.

“Sorry for that. Seungcheol asked if–”

Joshua’s words were cut off when you subconsciously hurled the snowball on him, hitting him bulls eye on his face. Your laugh rang the road while your boyfriend left standing and speechless from your sudden attack. Before he could say a word, you took the opportunity to grab yourself another handful of snow as he wiped some flakes off his beautiful face.

“Yah, you’re not even intrigued who was–”

You aimed another shot on him, hitting his arm this time as he gained reflexes and immediately blocked his face. “So this is how we’re playing.” He trailed off.

“Oh no,” You muttered under your breath. You attempted to run from his attack, almost tripping, but Joshua caught you with his larger snowball. A shriek let out your mouth as the cold ball hit the side of your neck.

The throwing of snowballs to each other’s faces continued. The two of you created your own catapults of different sizes of snowball, consciously throwing them with cackles and love. Inside your minds, both of you made sure to remember your limitations, and to not hurt each other, but you knew you were damned when you had thrown your own ball and didn’t quickly receive anything from him.

Your laughter died down awkwardly as Joshua became stiff on his position. He hands were near his left eye, touching his lids carefully. When you heard him hiss in pain, you automatically quicken your pace towards him. “Josh? Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. Are you hurt? I didn’t mean to–”

In a split second, Joshua tackled you, making you fall beneath the snowfloor and the coldness immediately ran over your body. Joshua, who was on the top of you, was smiling devilishly. You know that look of him, and it was somehow worse than a typical snowball fight with him, because Joshua knew every single weak part of your body, every single ticklish corner. But your eyes widen when Joshua rather leaned down slowly at you. His eyes, filled with excitement, flickered down at your lips before the inches between the two of you continue to slowly decrease, but Joshua stopped from closing the gap when you spoke.

“Josh, it’s raining snow.” You whispered, looking at the side to see the falling snow.

He felt the hotness of your breath because of your too much closeness. Joshua gulped, his eyes closing in frustration. He sighed, while you chuckled softly, running your hand through his hair to remove some leftover snow.

“We should start walking again.” You said, almost whispering. “We don’t have an umbrella with us.”

“Yeah,” Joshua breathed out, standing up. He offered a hand to you like a real gentleman, while you gladly accepted it.

He gently shook off some of the snow from your hair and your back, before smiling down at you. “Let’s go.” He said, holding your hand again.

You two started walking again when a question popped inside your mind. “Who called you again?”

“Coups.” He replied simply before telling you the reason why he called.

A huge grin was evident on Joshua’s lips as you absentmindedly stepped inside a very warm, homey café. There was no customer except for the two of you. Your arrival alarmed the old lady behind the counter, whipping around to see her first customers in Christmas day. A little sparkle of gratitude shone in her eyes as you offered her a warm and welcome smile.

“Oh, what a lovely Christmas. I thought I won’t be having any customer today.“ She softly cooed as you and Joshua slowly approuched the fair lady. “Joshua! Sweetheart, I didn’t notice that you were with this beautiful woman.” She exclaimed to the guy behind you.

You turned to face him and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

He chuckled at your facial expression, pushing your shoulder a little to face the old lady again. “Ada,” He giggled. “Of course, I promised to come back here, right? And I suddenly craved for your chocolate chip cookies.” Joshua replied, placing a hand at the small of your back. “By the way, this is Y/N.” He gestured his other free hand to you. “Y/N, this is Ada. She owns this lovely place.”

“Oh shush, Joshua. You don’t have to be humble.” Ada reached for Joshua, playfully hitting him, before switching her attention to you. “Y/N, what a beautiful name.”

“Please don’t say for a beautiful lady.” You nervously giggled, making her return the action.

“I was just going to say that!” She beamed. “But please believe me, sweetheart. You are indeed pleasant and gorgeous.”

A smile appeared on your lips. “Thank you, Ada.” You replied, bowing a little.

“No problem, dear.” She said sweetly. “Now Joshua, what can I serve for you and your lover?”

“Babe, what do you want?” Joshua asked.

Your breath hitched from Joshua’s sudden endearment. He surely calls you with the same name, but you find it a little embarrassing and surprising to have him call you ‘babe’ in front of his own acquaintance. “Uhm,” Your eyes scanned the board above and found yourself admiring the beautiful hand written menu.

Joshua was eyeing and waiting for you response when he saw the astonishment in your eyes as you mesmerize the old lady’s talent. He thought how beautiful you look from your side profile, and the way you adore and see things with your own eyes. And with all of the bad and good things you possess, he found himself falling in love with you deeper every single day.

“Ada, if you don’t mind me asking, did you personally write that?” You inquired, pointing a finger to her board.

She smiled at you before replying, “I do all the design here. I own and manage this place, Y/N.”

Your mouth opened in shock, looking around the whole café to see how it looks like. Since it’s Christmas season, Ada had few Christmas lights pinned on the ceiling that flows along the walls, some big socks hanging on the corner of the room, and snowflake origamis plastered in line on the edge of the counter. Everything was simple yet shows a homey and Christmasy vibes.

“You’re amazing.” You gasped, looking at her. Joshua smiled to himself as you admired Ada. “And actually, I’d like to have just a simple hot chocolate and your famous chocolate chip cookies Joshua was blabbing about.”

The old lady nodded her head with a bright smile.

“I’d have the same too, Ada.” Joshua spoke from the side.

“I’ll go prepare them for you two. Make yourself comfortable while I do the magic.” She said before turning away to make your orders.

“Let’s seat there.” Joshua had picked the table beside the window. He ushered you to the seat before pulling your chair and settling himself down on his own. “This is where I actually sit when I go here.”

“You actually go here? Today is like the first time you brought me here. I had no idea you visit cafés on your own.”

“I haven’t met you when I first found Ada’s café. Somehow, this place had become my getaway. When we get a little stressed from practices, I go here alone and relax myself.” He explained, watching the snowflakes fall outside.

You yourself too was just listening to his sweet voice as you watch the same view he was looking at. You hummed in response before silence fell between the two of you.

This place might be really special for him, you thought. You wondered how many times he found himself running to this place breaking into tears, how many cups of whatever caffiene he had sipped, how many cookies he had munched, how many times he felt himself alone, lonely, and had no one with him as he faced his struggles and hardships. And with all these realizations, you wished that you had met him earlier so he could have at least someone to face everything with.

It was the second time today, that it seemed like his mind was connected with yours when he spoke. “I have you now though. I seldom ran into here nowadays.”

“Do you just go here alone? Or do you bring someone?” You asked out of curiousity. There was a part of you hoping that he doesn’t go with anyone, as you felt the little jealousy on your throat.

Joshua caught your odd expression, making him laugh. “Why?” He grinned teasingly, reaching for the sleeve of your jacket and started fiddling the material.

“Just.. curious.” You mumbled, looking away.

“To fill in your curiousness and to remove that jealousy of yours, I never brought someone with me.”

You felt the your chained self loosened from his statement. “Why?”

“Because he promised to keep this place for himself until he met the person that will give him the assurance of lifetime happiness.” Ada, who showed up with the tray of our delicacies on her hand, answered for Josh. She carefully placed the ceramic plate and two mugs of hot chocolate on the table. Her warm and surpisingly soft palm was placed on top of yours as she gave you a reassuring smile. Her eyes screaming your name, telling you that you are the person who gave Joshua the assurance. “Enjoy the drink, darling.” She said one last time before leaving your table.

You looked at Joshua who was already smiling at you. “Is it– is it true?” You stuttered still in disbelief from what Ada had revealed.

“Yeah,” He replied, blowing off the steam from his face. “Babe,” He called right after he had sipped.

“Hm?” You raised your eyebrows.

“I can’t tell you how much you meant to me. But I guess you can tell it now by the way I brought the only special person for me to a very special place.” He said, rubbing his thumb on your hand. “I love you, Y/N.”

Your eyes blinked weakly from his statement, making you soft and loved. “Merry Christmas, Joshua. I love you too, and I always will.” You smiled your heart out, before grabbing yourself your own cup of hot chocolate.

hi snickiebear! im absolutely in love with your fics! ❤️❤️❤️ thank u so much for creating such amazing content! whenever i read your work, i get so excited as i go along and i just keep wanting to read again and again until you bless us with another work (and the cycle repeats itself lol!) i just wanted to let u know that ur one of my fave writers and i wish you all the best in school!

also im curious (but u don’t have to answer if you don’t want to), how did u start writing? i know it sounds stupid to ask that question but i’ve always wanted to be able to write well and maybe get started on some fic ideas that i have but i quite literally have no idea where to start or if i should take lessons first or whatever... got any words of wisdom for a fan? - 🐱

HI ANON!!! thank you so much for taking the time to send this to me, this honestly made my day and gods you're so sweet :"")))!! i am so so so happy that you enjoy my writing and i am entirely FLATTERED that im one of your favorite writers (my heart is melting right now, seriously like that is the best thing anyone has ever said to me, ever.)

im definitely gonna need some luck LMAO ive been slackin but my work ethic is pretty good so we'll be fine (hopefully HAHAHA)

that is not a stupid question at all!!! writing is different for everyone, as a kid i used to consume books. i could finish a 500 paged beast in like 4 hours when i was like fucking 12 (now it takes me about a day or so, depending on the book tbh). so i just got a lot of exposure to literature and stuff. my very first thing i wrote was a *shudders* werewolf mate fanfiction that was horrible and terrible, then i wrote a next gen X-men fic both when i was 11...BOTH ARE DELETED thankfully HAHAHA

i took a pretty long break from writing after and didn't get serious until i watched Fairy Tail (all time fav anime) and got back into writing stuff and then i immediately jumped into orginal works where i just spent time writing whatever the hell i wanted cause fuck it (pretty sure i posted something on like ficition press under the same user or some shit,,). i wrote and edited and rewrote a LOT.

point is, you have to find something that really sparks you and inspires you enough to write. i used to LOVE wolves and the X-men to where i wanted to put my own spin on it and stuff. And now im writing god damn naruto fanfiction HAHAHAHA

same goes with orginal works. something about an idea or a concept will just call to you, will dig into your brain and live there until you're able to put it down and make it come to life. if you love it, write it. if you want to see it, write it. make your imagination come to life, i promise you, at least 7 people will love it. those people will find it and adore whatever you write and will cherish it.

find what starves you. find what makes you hungry for more and crave creation and then feed yourself. fuel yourself. liberate yourself.

i believe in you, Anon!!

The Fosters: My Thoughts on Episode 4x07 “Highs and Lows”

That Was/Pretty Terrible:  So, I’m not usually a fan of sexytimes but Callie and AJ are super cute.

I’ll, Uh, Let AJ Know We’re Home:  Probably a good idea, Mike.  Since Callie’s bra is right there hanging on the back of your couch...

The Whole Robotics Team Workin 24/7/Can I Schedule in Some Time to Sleep?/You Can Sleep When It’s Over:  Mariana, I love how driven you are, but people need sleep to live.  Jesus is right.

Family Dinner is Not an Option/Then Why Don’t You Make Brandon Come? Valid question, Jesus.  Also, Jude just keeps shoving food in his mouth...high much?

May I Be Excused Then? Mariana, you hardly ate anything.  I’m sure pouring all your focus into robotics is helping you cope with all the Nick stuff but eating and sleeping are necessary.

Has Anyone Heard from Gabe?/He’s Gonna Get It Done:  Jesus is so defensive about Gabe not showing up to work on the garage.  These kids really crave a relationship with their biological parents, and the idea that Stef and Lena might not be happy with Gabe is clearly freaking Jesus out :(

Is Everything Okay?/I Haven’t Been Feeling That Good:  I love that the first question Jesus asks is whether or not Gabe is okay.  He doesn’t jump to conclusions about where he might be or what he might be up to.  But this strikes me, again, as Jesus almost playing parent TO Gabe.  These are the kinds of conversations that should be happening vice versa.

How Are You Okay With Losing Our Home?/I’m Not Okay: And we see just how not okay when Lena brings back up the conversation about her dad possibly killing himself over the stress of owing so much money :(

Coffee is the Better Option:  This is not a line from the show, but a comment on the fact that Mariana is coming into the kitchen in the middle of the night and checking the coffee pot.  What’s wrong with putting on some coffee, Mariana?  Are you afraid Moms will smell it and wake up?  Coffee is so much better than Jesus’s ADHD pills.  Pill count so far? 1 :(

Prove That I Can Handle Mason By Myself: Except it doesn’t look like you’re handling him by yourself at all really, Cortney.  And that child clearly needs some structure and some boundaries in place - he is out of control.

Detective...with Five Kids Going Off to College:  Wow, Stef, that would be quite a change.

I Think They Were/Having Sex?/Are You Okay With This?/I Guess:  So weird for Stef and Mike to be talking about their kids having sex when they already have a kid together.

Wait.  Brandon’s Paying The Rent?  What About the Money from the Settlement?/He Gave It All to Her:  Ooh, now Mike knows what’s up with Brandon paying all of Cortney’s bills...

HAD TO RUN HOME. FORGOT GYM STUFF:  Forgot to also mention you’re covering for Gabe...  Please be careful, Jesus.

Hook Me Up With Some Green: No Jude, she can’t.  Please stop asking like that.  You’re embarrassing yourself.  And how about knowing more about how strong your pot is before you randomly eat a bunch, or ask for some without even knowing anything about it.

Encourage Him to Move Back Home:  Oh, Mike.  You dropping by to see Cortney is super awkward, and now Mike knows about Brandon and Callie.  Which, he should.  But I wish they were never a thing.

WHERE R U???? HELLOOO???? I NEED U!  Mariana clearly isn’t aware that Jesus just injured himself.  Oh, ouch!  That looks like it feels awful :(  Didn’t Gabe warn you about being careful with the nail gun??? :(

It’s Been A While Since I’ve Had Any Hope:  And you deserve hope, Kyle, but Callie does not need to be neck-deep in your case.  Stef is working on it.  Trust her.

Where Have You Been?/I Hit My Head:  Somebody pay attention.  Head injuries are nothing to mess with.  I’d feel better, Jesus, if you got checked out by a doctor.  And Mariana is clearly rerouting all of her anxiety about Nick to building this robot, and I’m not sure her teammates appreciate her approach.  At least Emma tried to talk to her about Nick.

What Did You Do?/I Got Into It With a Nail Gun:  Jesus, your speech is sounding a little slow.  I’m concerned... :(

Less Talky, More Worky:  Mariana Pill Count: 2 :(

She Offered to Sell Her Condo:  Sharon, you sweet woman, you.  I am glad Stef and Lena said no to that.  She needs a home, too.

$2,000 a Month/Our House Wouldn’t Feel Like a Home: I hate that they are in this situation, having to figure out what to do, and how to keep the home they’d never BE in because they’d be working so much trying to keep it.

Back on the Island or You’ll Get Eaten by the Sharks: Brandon, you’re on the right track...sort of.  But talking to a 3-year-old about drowning and sharks is probably not the wisest course of action.  Neither is turning your back on him.

Are You Stoned?/A Skunk Sprayed Me/A STONED Skunk:  Thank goodness Callie’s noticing Jude eating them out of house and home and clearly reeking of pot.  I love that she has to keep pushing him along because he keeps stopping and standing still.  Though I WOULD prefer Callie telling Moms to helping Jude cover by urging him to shower.

Be Your Best Self: You guys, the chalk board in the kitchen is on point this episode.  At the top left we have chores - Jesus has to clean up tools and scraps in the yard, and everyone has to keep their rooms clean.  There is a grocery list on the bottom left, and most intriguing, there is mention of Family Bingo, Friday at 6 PM.  I am not a bingo player, but I would become one if I could play it about the Adams Foster family.  And the be your best self note is on the bottom right.  PS This viewing of the family chalkboard was brought to you by Brandon running through the house in search of little Mason, who clearly was not intimidated by imaginary water or sharks.

I Don’t Think I’ve Ever Seen That Blue Eye Shadow on You Before: Hahaha!  OMG Brandon!  I don’t think Mom is seeing the humor in your remark, seeing as though Mason has decided that messing up the bed and trying on makeup were a good use of his freedom.

You Don’t Even Live Here Anymore!/I’ve Lived Here Longer Than You!  Seriously, Brandon?  I hate that he still sees the need to throw this back in the twins’ faces.  Also, Jesus isn’t looking so good right about now.  (Also, Jude is a statue, trying not to be noticed by Moms.)

Are We Gonna Be Homeless?  I always feel like this is such a valid question coming from Mariana :(

I Don’t Feel So Good:  OMG Jesus :(

He’s Out of Control: It took Brandon like five minutes to realize that his Mom was right...of course he only realized that because Mason spilled on his keyboard...but baby steps.)

I Still Have This Freaking Headache/Maybe It’s Empathy Pain: I love that Mariana owned up to taking Jesus’s pills.  And promising you won’t take anymore probably won’t help if you have addiction in your family history, Mariana.  You need more help with this and you need to tell your moms.

That’s a.../Nail.  Embedded Several Inches Into His Frontal Lobe: OMG.  This is all kinds of horrifying.  I like that Emma knows when to come clean about these things and tells the family that he had been using a nail gun.  I’m glad it’s not life-threatening but how scary.  And there’s a chance it might effect his speech...

Ana Called Me About Jesus.  Is He Okay?/He Shot Himself in the Head With Your Nail Gun: OMG I kinda love that Gabe is there but Mariana is not having it, and says if Jesus isn’t okay, it’s on Gabe.  I love that Callie is right there reassuring Mari that Jesus is gonna be all right.

People Use It For Attention Problems Like Jesus.  You Don’t Judge Him for Taking His Meds, Do You?  Jude Jacob Adams Foster, seriously?  You did not just go there and say you getting high for fun and being reckless is akin to your brother taking meds he needs for a medical condition.  You are a piece of work.  (And I like that Callie’s not messing around, and willing to tell Moms, but I wish she would just follow through and do it.  You don’t have to be his Mom anymore, Callie.  He has two of those.  Really good ones.)

Your Business If You Wanna Buy Pot for Your Son, But I Don’t Want Him Giving Anymore of It to My Brother: Again, with the parental conversations, Callie!  Like, I am glad Jude has you to look out for him but involve Moms in this, please.  It’s what you have Moms for.  It has only been a year with them though, so it is probably really hard to switch how she does things.

Jueves Cheeseburger Para Hermana:  I’m never a fan of jokes like this, but I kinda love that when Jesus jokes like this it’s in Spanish and English and mostly about food (and Mariana.)

Nice to Live in a World Without Your Awful Jokes: Oh Brandon.  Be careful what you wish for :(

Never Telling You Anything Again:  Jude, Callie was right to tell Noah’s mom this.  At least she told A parent what was going on, even if it wasn’t YOUR parents.

Home Is Wherever We’re Altogether: Aw, I love Mariana and Jesus holding hands <3 

Depression/It’s Stupid for Men to Feel This Way: All I could think in this scene was how much Gabe resembles Jesus.  I am glad that Stef talked to Gabe about what was going on and I hope he does get help.  Also do we SEE how much work Gabe got done??? Holy cow is he ever trying to make up for lost time!  I love that this scene is here because I think it’s important for boys and men to know that depression can effect anyone and it doesn’t make you weak to struggle with it.

Get the Hell Away From Me, Bitch!/DO Not Touch Me!  Callie, seriously, you don’t know who you’re dealing with.  I would stop talking to this Malloy character and steer clear of all of this, before you get into some real trouble.

Truly dreamy, unicorn feels!

Everyone has dreams. It differs from one another. But sometimes, you find people who have the same dreams as you do. It is not to compete with them but to help each other grow. Making dreams come true, that is one of the best feelings in life. But hey, isn’t it the in-betweens that paved the way for it? So babe, keep on working on your dreams just like this Dreamy Cafe! :)

I have seen on Facebook that Thailand and California have this unicorn cafe kind of place. If you just saw me while I was watching those videos, you will laugh because it is as if I return to being just a kid. Hahaha! Too cute, aye? And I so like cute things! Unicorn is one. So you knowww! LOL. When the news spread that there is a newly-opened unicorn cafe in the Philippines, I went crazy already! I have been asking my boyfriend to take me here, no matter what it takes. Kidding the ditto statement, that was too much. Haha! And now, after the looooong (okay it is not that long, just overacting again hehe) wait, I was able to arrive in this cutesy place, Dreamy Cafe!!! 🌈

The Dreamy Cafe is the first unicorn-themed place in the Philippines. Unlike what everyone thinks, it is not located in the metro. Kailangan mo pa silang dayuhin dahil sila ay nasa Malolos, Bu-la-can! I know, I know, I was sad when I knew about that too. Nasanay kasi tayo na baka Maginhawa, Kapitolyo, o BGC kasi papatok talaga ‘to. But when I thought of it, ayos lang pala. Equal rights for everyone! Whether you are a city person or a local, all are given a chance, just like in dreaming. That is what they promote, right? Kaya effort effort din to make your dreams come true! *wink wink*

*this banner will welcome you once you arrived*

Waiting game, too strong! 🌸 🌟

I did not expect my family will make my unicorn dreams come true so yes, we were not prepared for this. The only thing we know was the place is fancy cute. That is all. Hahaha! So while waiting for Dada, we looked for the address of this cafe. God is so good, it really is located in Malolos! Huhu, so much love! And so when boyfie came back after *haha basta,* went there agad-agad! Yaz!

I am not excited as you can see. I am not because I am super excited! Hihihi. So when we arrived at the place, I was a bit shocked it was just a little little. Haha! Yup, I did not know it was a little small. It is okay. Besides, they stated on their Facebook page that the cafe is not that big to accommodate everyone especially when there are a lot of people. I just knew that fact when we were there. While waiting, I stalked them. I mean, research. Hahaha! So if you are just like us, spontaneous travelers, expect to wait for more or less an hour before going inside. No worries though, it is worth the wait! You would not realize waiting when you are with your loved ones anyway. Ganun naman pag gusto mo ‘di ba, mapagtitiyagaan mo? Oh oh, pangarap usapan dito. Dreamy Cafe ‘di ba? Hahahaha! Also, they have a waiting place outside anyway where you can chitchat with your lover or friends and listen to their amazing playlist.

*waited in the car though. scorching heat makes the energy drainy*

Uhm, hello, people? 🌸

I understand there were many people when we went to this place. It’s just that, the staff should have known how to handle their customers better. When it was our turn to make orders, aba, it was me who wrote our orders because the woman was panicking with the orders of the customers before us. I get it, to trim down the time, but they should be calm and do what they have to do.

The woman was nice though. She knows how to keep the customers because she is talkative. But you know the servers, medyo sabaw. We were asking what flavor was the waffle he was serving and he said he does not know. Hala? Haha! But nice one kuya, he made bawi on the next order though; alam na niya. Hahaha! The staff are all smiling faces though. And that is a good thing.

*hello to the unicorn land! what name did you have?*

Me n u at the menu 🌸 🌟 🌈

RIP humor. Some may not get it eh. He he he. But for those who did? And supports me? I love you! Tara na rin. Let me treat you here. Hahahahahaha! Lakas ng loob magyaya ‘no? Because they are affordable! Too affordable than what I thought! Believe it or not, the prices start at 59 pesos. They have milkshakes, waffles, snacks, and even rice meals. Hashtag san ka pa bes

And this is the best catch... When you eat here, there is a possibility to wear a unicorn onesie (or just onesies because I saw some that are not unicorn; I just do not have pictures because ours are all unicorn) throughout the stay! How is that? Well! For every 250 pesos, they will lend you one onesie. So if you ordered worth of 500 pesos, you will have two. And you do the math.

*incomplete menu so you can visit their page: fb.com/dreamycafeph*

Eat 'em, unicorn 🌸 🌟 🌈

Bagay talaga yung Dreamy Cafe na pangalan dito. I feel like I am on cloud 9! Been wanting to go back to Malolos just to eat here! Promise, no joke, and no filter - the foods are great! Very delectable! Sobrang sulit kasi duh, mura na nga, masarap pa, Instagram-worthy pa! It is not just photogenic, it really is yummy. So impressed, I can’t say more. Rapbeh! *wanna go back bigla talaga*

So the Twin Star Meal is their best seller. It is a milkshake stored in a big star jug with your choice of heart-shaped waffles. You have the choice on what shake you would want. Same as the waffles, chocolate or strawberry (but I like this more!). This is good for two by the way. They have cheezy fries and other treats too! While I am writing, here I am again, craving. Huhu, haha!

*brb, otw to bulacan! lol*

Pastel fantasy place come to life 🌸 🌟 🌈

A unicorn is always seen as a mythical creature with colorful tails and amazing wings. But I too, I do not know why unicorns are equated with colorful stuff, cutie ideas, and sweet image. Do you know why? Message me if you do! Give me light. Hihihi, thanks! So, since that is our stereotype to unicorns, what you expect in a cafe themed like this? Colorful, cute, and sweet! Yes, it is!

Though the space was small, I loved it! Dreamy Cafe has two floors. My family chose to stay on the first floor since it was just 4 PM when we entered and the sun was still freakin mad. Haha! But even if we were on the first floor, we were on the second floor. Huh, how did that happen? It is because the eating area is like bunk beds, like the ones popular today, in order to save space and at the same time, accommodate more people. Brilliant, I know! But what I love the most about this place are the pastel interiors. I love the blankets, the banderitas, and other decors to make it dreamy, and yes, unicorn-y. Uh oh, I think I just made a corny statement (but hey, corny are sweet hihi). LOL! I love that there are unicorn stuffed toys around the place. Also fluffy pillows! Omo omo omo! As a unicorn lover, they passed my standards. Hooray yay yay!

*walls, banderitas, hot air balloon decors, blankets, pillows, onesies, unicorns*

Slaying time 🌸 🌟 

The average staying time at Dreamy Cafe is an hour and 30 minutes. But me, to be honest, I really would not leave this place if I will be given a chance. Kaya branch out, branch out at Manila! Hahahahaha!

This is like my land, one of my happy places. It just makes me breathe all the good vibes in the world you know. Especially when I am with a good company. It slays a lot babe. So much love to my fam and this cafe! xxox

*sunday fun day, fam day!*

Legend:

🌸 - for the likes! (satisfactory) 🌸 🌟 - for the love! (very satisfactory) 🌸 🌟 🌈 - for the la-la land! (excellent)
