[herefortarlos]

hey desi! it's nice ask week, i hope you're well and don't mind me coming into your inbox :)

what's your favorite lone star episode?

who is your all time comfort character?

what's your favorite song/album right now?

Hello my sweetest, Rachel 💖!! Sweetie, the day I mind you coming into my inbox will be the day I am no longer a pansexual liberal, so not a chance of that ever happening 😂.

Ohh why would you ask me that!! Okay, favorite overall Lone Star episode, and not just for 1 or 2 scenes, has to be 3x13 "Riddle of the Sphynx". That episode just gave us sooo much good Tarlos! We got supportive and jealous/sassy and then understanding Carlos. We got TK attending meetings and doing what he has to do to take care of himself! We got so much tarlos physical affection and that amazing dining table scene!! I recently watched that episode again and that scene blows me away every time, Ronen and Rafa acted their butts off! We get tarlos communicating, even if it's messy communication at first, and so many iconic lines!! "It feels like he's getting pieces of you that I don't" "You don't want those pieces" "I do, I want all of it" "You have all of me, Carlos." Just throw me off a bridge why don't you 🥲, and it's one of the few episodes where I know all the tarlos dialogue word for word. @heartstringsduet are you proud of me 😊. Then TK being affected in the field and being depressed about his own mom, looking at photos telling Carlos, "I'd give anything to feel like that again", and Carlos realizes he is in way over his head and that this isn't about him, it's about TK and what he needs so Carlos gets over that insecurity and reaches out and makes sure TK has the support he needs 🥹 And then the infamous "I love you" with TK "Heart Eyes" Strand and Carlos' understanding "I know." Every tarlos scene in this from beginning to end of episode is amazing and impactful and leaves me an emotional mess every time I watch it 💖

who is your all time comfort character?

All time comfort character you ask? 🤔 After thinking about all the fandoms I've enjoyed and been a part of over the years, please don't come at me for saying the obvious of TK 😅. He's the first live action character that I have loved this much, and there are so many reasons for that! One of the biggest being how he has been through so much hardship in his life but he is so unselfish and sees the best in people and still has so much love to give!! He is sunshine personified but he is still very much a real person with flaws and baggage, but he is constantly working to take care of himself and be a better person! I've had similar, not exact of course, experiences in my own life and have come out the other side better for it! It took a lot of time of course and I needed to be in a place where I had the power to make my own decisions and I love that about TK too, that the show constantly shows that his decisions to get better have ultimately been his own! And him being an openly gay character who is proud of his sexuality was primarily what drew me to him and the show in the first place 🥰

what's your favorite song/album right now?

Ohh always love a music question! Haha and probably not what you're expecting but my favorite album lately has been Bo Burnham's "Inside (Deluxe)" edition. It's such a fantastic special and I watched the deleted scenes not too long ago and have not been able to stop listening to "Five Years". The chorus is so damn catchy and I wish it was longer and the line "Everyone's a feminist until there is a spider around" makes me laugh every time 🤣.

harvey fic request! :) maybe they get in a spat about harvey getting jealous or a miscommunication but then they fix it and then super fluffy

Hiiii!!! Thank you so much for the request and I'm so so so so sorry it took so long for me to continue writing here. Life been tough but here I am. Enjoy❤️

The Greenest

When Harvey received a phone call from Mike, he was happy, to say the least. But upon hearing what he had to say, Harvey sighed. There was this charity in Seattle, and both Mike and Rachel invited him. Harvey dodged the question by saying that he had to ask his wife. It wasn't that Harvey didn't want to donate his money for a good cause, but he rarely spent time with his wife now. He just wanted to stay home and do absolutely nothing with his wife in his arms. He could just write a check for it and make up some excuse later.

Harvey got home to Pink Floyd blasted through the house. He couldn't help but hum along with the song. It would be useless, he thought, to call out for his wife. He found her in their bedroom, a few dresses draped on the bed as she stood in front of her kingdom of shoes. "Are we going somewhere?" Harvey asked casually as he took off his suit. She jumped at his voice, eyes wide. "You scared the living hell out of me," she said, reaching for her phone to turn down the volume of the speaker. "Well, I suggest you shouldn't give your husband a spare key, then." Harvey rolled up his sleeves as he observed the dresses. "We're going somewhere?" Harvey asked again. "Oh yes! Mike and Rachel invited us to this charity gala. It's for abused women and children. Can you imagine?" Harvey watched as his wife's face scrunched in sadness. He swore this woman wouldn't even hurt a fly. "It's in Seattle?" Harvey asked again as she earned an eager nod. Well played, Mike, Harvey thought. Going straight to his wife. Well played. "We sure can come, yes?" Harvey looked at his wife, knowing damn well it wasn't a question. He nodded and smiled. 

Harvey's favorite thing to do whenever he went out with his wife was to watch her get ready. He watched his wife put on matching underwear in black, all lacey. He stole a glance at his watch as his brain raced at the possibility of tempting his goddess of a wife for a little fun activity. "Don't think about it, Harvey." His wife scolded him as she watched him from the unreasonably huge mirror in their hotel room. "Think about what?" Harvey asked, pretending to be clueless. "Think about taking off my underwear, bending me over, having your way with me, being late, and what excuse should you give Mike for being late?" Harvey smirked at the sultry way his wife said it. "We've been in this dance before, Harvey. I will not fall for it again. Now, why won't you be a nice gentleman and zip my dress?"

"Jeez, Harvey. Didn't you arrive at the hotel yesterday? This whole thing started an hour ago!" Mike scolded Harvey, who gave him a knowing look. "Seriously?" Mike gave him a disgusted look, and not long after, his wife came along. Mike hugged her and thanked her for coming. He then managed to explain this charity he and Rachel are now part of. He also said it would be good for the charity to know two successful New York lawyers are here, siding with the charity. It just meant more money for the charity. Which was great.

Not long after, Rachel came, and she gave them brief hugs. She managed the whole event, so Rachel was running around as she made sure that nothing went awry. The three of them were having a good time. They talked about what was going on in their lives. Harvey probably would have to admit that this wasn't an entirely bad idea to come. Mike nudged Harvey, "There, that's the city attorney. Let's put that pretty face to good use." Harvey looked back at his wife, signaling for her to come along. "I need to go to pee; I'll look for you later." Harvey smiled at her as he followed Mike.

Harvey just realized that his wife was never to find him. It had been 20 minutes; surely she didn't need that long. Harvey tried to look around. He squinted his eyes at the sight of his wife, who happened to look way too comfortable with a man he had never seen before but was somewhat familiar. A man her age. Harvey frowned as he hurriedly excused himself. He made a beeline to where his wife stood but slowed down his pace when he was near. "Oh Jackson, you know how it is in New York," Harvey heard his wife laugh not long after. "Well, then maybe you should consider moving here." Before he could hear what his wife's reply would be, Harvey stood beside her, an arm wrapped around her hip. Harvey didn't miss the way this Jackson guy's eyes followed where Harvey's hand rested. "Won't you introduce us, sweetheart?" Harvey asked a rhetorical question. She sensed something wasn't quite right with Harvey's attitude. "Jackson, this is Harvey, my husband." Harvey extended his free hand. "Harvey, this is Jackson ...." Before she could finish her sentence, he jumped in. "I'm her ex-fiance," Jackson said, shaking Harvey's hand. Harvey gave him a curt smile. "Who would have thought that Harvey Specter is your husband?" Jackson said to her, but his eyes never left Harvey's. Again, before she could say anything, Harvey said, "What can I say, Jackson? I'm immaculate, and my wife has an immaculate taste." They looked at each other for quite some time, trapped in an uncomfortable silence as the two men tried to intimidate one another. Harvey then remembered that he once went against him in court. Harvey won, of course. "Well, it was nice to meet the two of you," he was about to leave when he stopped in front of her, "especially you; I'll give you a call when I visit New York." Before he left, he touched her bare arm. And Harvey was seething. Harvey took her hand to make them face-to-face. "What the fuck was that?" Harvey said, his jaw tightening. "What the fuck was that? What the fuck was what? I was just trying to get him to donate, Harvey!" Harvey scoffed, "By flirting with your ex-fiance, who suggested you move here?" She looked at him, exasperated. "We're going back to the hotel," Harvey said quietly. He took her elbow as he guided her out of the crowd. "Harvey, we are invited here to help them raise the donation," he said, shaking his head. "We're going back to the hotel." Harvey's voice left no room for argument. Before exiting the venue, she caught a glimpse of a confused Mike. She shook her head in silence before Mike became out of view. 

The two of them were silent during the ride back to the hotel. "We're back now at the hotel, happy?" she said sharply as she took off her heels. "We could've helped more if you weren't being so childish and being all jealous!" She raised her voice, both hands on her hips. She looked at Harvey's back, and he poured himself some scotch. "If you weren't flirting like a high school girl, we would still be there." Venom laced his voice. He turned to face his wife. "Do I need to pack your things and send them here so you can get back with Jackson?" His wife shook her head in disbelief at his words. He finished the glass in seconds, opened the door, and slammed it hard. She sighed and prepared herself a bubble bath. There is no use in arguing with him now.

She woke up with the curtain open. She squinted her eyes. She was greeted with the sight of Harvey sitting in a chair just beside the bed. "Hey, sunny," Harvey said softly. She didn't say anything or react; she just stared at him. "I'm sorry," he said genuinely, she could tell. "I shouldn't have reacted the way I did; I'm really working on my issues. She nodded, she knew he tried. "Did I hurt you?" he asked as he took her hand in his. He did so as if he might break her, so gently. "You did," she answered quietly. "I'm really sorry," he kissed her hand softly. "It's okay, Harvey. Just try to work on yourself harder, okay? I'm here ready to help if you need anything, but no more lashing out," she said as she caressed his cheeks. Harvey leaned into the touch and closed his eyes. "What did I ever do to deserve you?" Without answering, she moved over and signed for Harvey to lay beside her.

Hi! Hope you're having a good day.

Also, first time asking someone😅. And also, I love how you explain a lot of Dick Grayson's character!

So, I'm still pretty new to the DC fandom, got into it by watching Teen Titans 2003. And there are a lot of opinions about who Dick's Best Friend is. Sometimes it's Victor Stone, sometimes Rachel Roth, or Roy Harper, or Wally West, Donna Troy, maybe Jason Todd.

So, the question is, who is Dick Grayson's Best Friend?

Hello!!! You too and thank you so much!! ❤️💕💕💕!!

Dick's best friends are Donna Troy and Wally West. I'm gonna put Donna Troy aside for a moment and say it's Wally only because Donna is Dick's sister. Yes, he views her as his bestfriend but she's closer than that. I'll even go as far as to say she's closer to him than he is to the batfamily which - phew. Whatever word you can use to describe that, then that's what they are. So in that sense, she's a whole separate category of her own.

Therefore, Wally West is Dick Grayson's best friend. The nice thing about this is that Dick comes right out and says it which makes my life easier lol

Titans (2008) Issue #23

Nightwing (2016) Issue #90

Dick is Wally's best friend too. They're so close that no matter what their year has been like, no matter what they've gone through, they ALWAYS make room in their busy schedules to go on yearly bro-cations.

Flash Plus

lmao these two 🤣🤣

As Dick mentioned before, Wally brightens Dick's life. Dick is constantly stressed and working and kinda sorta depressed all the time but Wally forcefully drags him out of work just so he can have fun. He convinced Dick to put the Titans together again in Titans (1999) just for the mere fact that he wanted Dick to be happy. He wanted Dick to be with his family since Titans are family.

Titans (1999) Issue #1

"What do you want, a mission statement? Fine. My mission is to keep you from turning into your guardian. Batman may be a loner, but you need a family around you."

"You'd really join another team just so I could have a social life?"

yes, dick, he would.

He and Dick were childhood best friends. They hung over at each other's places for fun aside from being on the og titans team.

So in the end, Wally is 100% Dick's best friend.

— apollo x mortal!reader

part ii

Summary: Apollo has literally loved you for years and years and lifetimes. Now that you return to him, that time his crossroads will not be long, but at least he was able to see you and fall in love with you once again. warnings: bad words, yea umm. Haha a/n: I'm so happy you liked what I wrote. It's really very important to me. AND SORRY if I'm late, it's just inspiration. The gods refused to give it to me, but it is here. Kisses.- From the other side of the milky way, María.

The first time, Apollo saw you and without hesitation passed his heart towards you. Oh gods, he had the best weeks of his life, but then he had to let you go. You were a mortal, he couldn't be with you for long without exposing you to danger.

And since he loved you so much, he decided to give up, he forced himself to see more for you than for his need to be with you.

He had already calculated it, it was about 100 years or so to see you again, but throughout those, he changed completely, he had to face a great battle against his father's ego and that of himself. He almost forgot how old and ageless he was, when you spend more than six months fighting for your life, that's how it is. Until that day when he accompanied his now friends to an amusement park, the same ones as always; Will, Nico, Rachel, Meg, and the seven. Ten young adults, one teenager and ONE “apparent” young adult. They were having a great time, actually.

The roller coasters, the ice cream, the sun (him), the kiddie rides that Meg insisted on riding. But Apollo had gotten tired, can a god get tired? Well, he's trying to keep up with so many demigods with ADHD at a fun fair.

He took a seat on one of those wooden benches with faded rainbow paint. The others looked for him and gathered around.

— Apollo! I want to go to the water attraction —  Percy said, holding Annabeth's hand, who was apparently analyzing the map of the place.

— Yes, and then we go to the flying chairs — said Jason, his practically brother. A smile that he had never seen adorned his face, next to him, Leo hung from the blonde's neck.

—Yes, come on, sunny.

—Don't be lazy, I want to go to the carousel.— Meg said, squeezing the dolphin plushie that he had won for her in the shooting game.

Frank handed him his ice cream, and Hazel looked at him for any injuries.

Will and Nico seemed to have moved on, they were very lovey-dovey lately.

—Thank you, Frank. I'm fine —

— If you don't like sharing, I can go get one for you.

Apollo smiled and brushed his brown hair out of his face.

—I'm fine, man. Don't worry.

But he knew that wasn't the case, he felt something in his stomach that wouldn't leave him alone.

Piper and Rachel looked at each other, both seeming to read each other's minds as they discussed something.

—How about we walk Meg to the carousel and come back for you? It sounds fun, a bunch of us riding metal animals going up and down —  Piper said, taking Meg's hand. Rachel nodded and smiled at Apollo.

— Yes, I think it will be enough for you to rest.

No one had any objections, but Apollo had sensed a certain charm in the words of Aphrodite's daughter. Was he missing something?

Everyone advanced and Rachel was the last to set off, she looked at the god knowingly.

— Good luck.

Apollo did not know what those words meant, and he waved goodbye. A remorse for not accompanying them invaded him, but he stayed sitting on the bench. He ruffled his curls anxiously and leaned on his thighs, taking in the great view of the concrete with a cooler of ants carrying breadcrumbs. Then, he felt a hit on the head and an apology.

— Sorry! Are you ok?

He looked up and oh, fuck. It was you? He could feel his heart crushing and feeling on fire. Apollo stood up from the bench.

— I-I'm fine, don't worry.

The last time he had seen you, your eyes were the color of olive, now they were brown, but the look was the same. You gave him a warm smile and placed your hands on your chest.

— Really? —

He nodded and smiled, too.  For you, Apollo's blue eyes became familiar within seconds of seeing them.

— We know each other?

“We've met thousands of times,” he wanted to say, but he couldn't. In other lives, he had told you that he was a god, and you believed him. But the situation in how you had met that day, the hurried manner of your meeting, told him that the meeting with you would not last at all. Even so, seconds or glances were enough for him, he was already in love with you, again.

His heart was immersed in melancholy, and he wanted to hug you.

— Maybe…

You opened your eyes a little and approached him curiously, you smelled like lavender and sunshine, that last one made his stomach flip. You were almost invading his personal space, which made him push his chin back to avoid bumping into your nose.

— I thought that, too. Do you come here often? It's just that I work at one of those food islands. — You told him and stepped back smiling to show him your uniform. You had a cap with the company logo embroidered on it.

— Ahm yes, with… — He thought of Meg and the others. He made a silent apology to Artemis — My sister and my friends.

You widened your smile and dug something into your pants pockets.

Apollo wanted to kiss you.

You hummed and finally took out some papers. Would you give him your number?

You held them out to him.

— Coupons!

Apollo took them gently, your fingers collided with his, and you felt a kind of electricity in your stomach. You let out a nervous laugh.

— Well, see you…�� The boy came out of his trance. A name, he wouldn't say Apollo, would he?, but…

—Lester! — You smiled again and waved your hand goodbye.

— See you, Lester.

And you walked away from him, leaving him empty and wanting to take you with him to spend the rest of the afternoon at the fair, to be happy, to be together.

He spread the coupons in the palm of his hand and looked at them. He was able to gain something from his misfortune, at least. Of course, why not? Burgers for everyone.

— Apollo! — Meg's voice made him turn, and he smiled when he saw everyone. It seemed that Will and Nico had found their way back to the others.

Rachel met his gaze, she seemed slightly worried. So at that moment it all became obvious, she knew he would meet you.

Apollo sighed and held up the coupons in his hand.

— are you hungry?

-comments-

y/nfanpage21: ooo I'm excited to find out❤️

user30781614: SIDEMEN LIKED OMFG🤭

-> user91368481: y/n x sidemen ahh!!!

A month ago... "Rach!" I shouted through my apartment. "Ye?" my roommate Rachel shouted before appearing in my doorway. "Do you know who the sidemen are?" I asked her. "Yes, they're massive on YouTube, why?" She replied plonking herself next to me on the bed. "They just asked me to be in one of their videos." She shot upright "what! Did you say yes?" She asked excitedly. "Umm, I haven't replied yet, are they weirdo's?" I asked since she knew of them. She laughed aloud "no I don't think so." she said with a giggle. "It says they want me to film a "twenty versus one", what's that?" I said flipping my phone around to show her the email. "That's a series, they do, let me just show you." she grabbed the control and flipped on my tv.

That night I went through a rabbit hole, researching these people. I wanted to make sure they weren't creeps before agreeing to be in a their video. They had a pretty massive following and there videos were entertaining. I eventually decided it'd be fun so agreed to be in the video. When I told Rach she was ridiculously excited.

Today is the day of the shoot. All I'd been given was a location and a time, so I got up early to get ready. I took a shower, dried and straightened my hair, did my makeup (adding extra powder so I wouldn't shine in the studio lights) then got dressed into a black, tight play suit, an oversized denim jacket and some black four inch heeled boots. Once I was finished I sprayed myself with my favourite perfume, grabbed my bag and left my apartment.

After a 30 minute drive my uber finally pulled up outside the filming location which just looked like a large building. I thanked him and slid out of the car. Just as I was walking towards the front entrance I was greeted by a woman who said her name was Tanya and that she was the head of production. "She seems nice" I thought as she led me inside. She brought me to a green room with multiple other women, and a table with drinks and food. I sat down on one of the chairs. "wait, are you y/n y/l/n?!" One of the girls asked me. I nodded "yep, that's me." I replied with a light smile. "Omg I love your vlogs!" She announced excitedly. "Thank you!" I said appreciatively.

Almost 20 minutes later all twenty of us were taken through into a small hallway, and formed into a queue. I was sixth and when it was my turn I walked out and stood on the marked spot on the white floor. "Hi, how are you?" I asked who I learned from my stalking was Harry. "Not great to be honest." he replied, clearly not enjoying this shoot. I laughed slightly "just breathe." I said breathing deeply in and out. He copied my actions and did the same. He smiled "yes." he said, flicking his hand towards the door then I heard a cheer from another room. "Thank you." I said politely and walked off the set.

Ten minutes later everyone was sent back into the room and we all stood in an oval shape facing the camera. Then Harry walked in and greeted us "hello everyone, I said yes to way too many people so if you don't like me please- leave." he chuckled then turned around to face the camera. Five people left leaving nine of us. Harry opened his eyes and turned back around "I'll take that, I'll take that, I'll take that, I'll take that," he repeated quickly "thank you very much. alright, I'll see you shortly, I guess." Then he left and all of us were taken back to the green room.

I sat there for well over two hours waiting, since I was the last one. Once it was finally my turn, I was taken back to the studio, by Tanya. "You'll do great!" she said with a light pat on my back just before I entered the room. I was reattached to a mic and then told to sit down on the comfy looking chair. Harry entered a few minutes later and I stood up to greet him with a hug. "Hello again, sorry you've been waiting so long." he said politely, before sitting down. I smiled "no problem." He took a breath in "so what's your name?" "y/n." I replied. "And what do you do?" He asked. "For fuck sake I hate this question" I thought. "I do YouTube." I replied. His eyes lit up slightly "oh, what kind of videos do you make?" He asked, sitting forward in his chair. "Vlogs, beauty stuff, outfits, that kind of thing." I said counting them on my fingers. "Oh cool." he said with a nod of his head.

The date lasted just under 15 minutes. From the video Rach showed me it seemed that these weren't just normal dates but it felt completely normal to me... actually in the other video there was one date where the man was just told to be himself, so maybe that was what was happening. We talked about what both of our favourite movies were, we found out we both lived in London and when I asked if he was into football he explained that that was what his YouTube channel was based off, along with an online game to do with football.

Once the date finished, we hugged goodbye and he left. Then I was asked two questions by the main camera man: what I thought about him and if I would go on another date. "I thought he was a really sweet and seemed interested in our convo. I will definitely go on another date with him." and as I said those words, I heard in eruption of cheers in another room, which Tanya had now explained was the other members of the sidemen watching the dates. I laughed slightly then stood up. I quickly had my mic taken off, then went to collect my things from the green room. As I was grabbing my things Tanya popped back into the room to ask me something, "the boys were just wondering if you could come and see them so they could thank you for coming." she asked. I smiled "of course."

She took me through a corridor, and then down a smaller hallway and into a room. There was a group of boys stood up in front of around six TVs that I assumed they had been watching the dates on. "Hey, nice to meet you, thanks for coming!" who I knew to be JJ said putting his hand out for a handshake. I shook his hand and said "thank you for having me." They all introduced themselves to me and we stood talking for a few minutes. Just before I left I heard my name "y/n!" I turned around to see Harry stood in front of me "I was just wondering... if it was okay with you, I could get your number?" he asked. I smiled "sure." He passed me his phone I typed my phone number in. "there." I said, passing his phone back to him. "thank you." he said with a sheepish smile. I waved the other boys goodbye before I left the building.

The next day, I got a text from Harry asking if he could take me out on a "second" date, and obviously I said yes.

4, 7, 9, 12 for the ask game <3 (all glee if possible)

Yay, thanks for these Crys! 7 was previously answered so I went ahead and skipped it :)

4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

I don’t ship St. Berry, but I am of the opinion that if it couldn’t be Finn, I’m glad it was Jesse. He and Rachel really are two sides of the same coin and they seem to love each other very deeply and I hope they’re happy together!

9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

Samcedes 😭 they are my emotional support heterosexuals your honor. But also, they are two genuinely good people who care deeply about one another samcedes you will always be endgame to me

12. compliment someone else in your fandom

Okay this is gonna be a lot because I AM going to do all the active fandoms I’m in! So under the read more!

Glee:

First of all you, Crys! And @backslashdelta You are both so talented with your gif making that it kind of drives me insane.

@kurtsascot is probably one of the most talented writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I feel so lucky that we’ve gotten her so late in the game! I feel similarly about @rockitmans and @thelegendofjenna

@esilher @twinkkurt and @justgleekout make the most BEAUTIFUL fanart I’ve ever seen, and I also wanna thank @carsonphillips for klainegifs and keeping the fandom interesting with their events!

@somefeministtheatrepls is not only an amazing friend but the most thoughtful beta reader and honestly partner in my writing?? Writing is much less stressful because I don’t even worry about things being clunky or weird because I know her ass will help that chapter SHINE

@nancysgillians @kurthummeldeservesbetter also get shoutouts because they are wonderful people to have in your life

Newsies:

I could fill novels with how much I love and appreciate @somanywords! Their amazing storytelling and also volunteering to make art for the MiniBang I hosted earlier this year??? On top of listening to my insane ramblings?? They don’t make em like this anymore folks

@one-paper-bag is also SOOOOOO incredibly talented with their art, and their lovely comments on my Spider-Man AU keep me going (on GOD we are gonna get you another chapter ON GOD!!!!)

@livesincerely and @agentsnickers are some of the most prolific and INSANELY TALENTED writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, and also genuinely lovely people! You know when you see someone on your dash and ur just like “wow. I hope they are having a FANTASTIC day and life. They deserve one.”

@piedoesnotequalpi and @regina-cordium are also so incredibly FUNNY and have the most correct takes on every single newsie and that’s on that ❤️

911:

I’m relatively new to this fandom, so I don’t know a ton of people yet, but there are def people I see on my dash that I have noticed!

@cranberrymoons @lesbianrobin @insertlovelyperson have written some of my absolute FAAAAAAVE fics! I feel like they really have a handle on who the characters are in a way that’s true to the show and kind of difficult to pull off!

@texasbama makes amazing gifs and honestly anytime I see her on my dash I laugh bc genuinely she’s so funny. Also on the list of hilarious contributors is @buckgettingstruck

And a couple of people who I think have genuinely great vibes are @buckera @leathercouchcushion and @yaz-the-spaz

And of course I can’t talk about 911 without a second mention to @regina-cordium who puts up with all my Texas!Buddie nonsense andbansndbsk

[mahixa]

Hello! sorry for my english because it's not my first language. Tell me, what is your favorite Carlando moment? :3

Hello!! I am so sorry, I haven't been on tumblr in ages, but seeing that this message was sent by you on the 12th of April makes me smile, as it was my birthday!! ❤️ nice timing hahaha! Oh boyyy, I have plenty of such moments, but maybe one of the moments that really has a special place in my heart, is the Monaco 2021 podium. The race, the McLaren colours, their happy faces, that amazing season... Monaco, the weather, the golden hour, and me writing my first fic for these two, it all was inspired by this precious, joyful moment ✨️

Carlando reminded me why I love to write and they made me feel happy for the first time in a long time.

That season is a special one for me, because I made friends here then, with whom I'm still friends?? And I have visited them in their countries?? Rachel, Gabi... and even recently I randomly messaged Anja and we giggled about another ship, ahh, I am so grateful! So thank you so much for asking!! It really made my morning!

[yelenasdiary]

Hey, I know I’m new here and I haven’t sent an ask here yet but I just had to get my little dig in at anon and anyone who has an issue with what you write.

So, anon. Do you genuinely believe that this is how the world works? Do you really think that by shitting on people who work hard on these creative projects and are kind and generous enough to share them with us, do you think that being awful to them is how you get more of what you want?

Because it’s not. As an avid reader but also a writer myself, seeing that shit does absolutely nothing but destroy our motivation to create. Which in turn means you get NOTHING! When all you do is bitch and moan and complain, you get NOTHING!!!

So, and I mean this genuinely, go home and go fucking cry about it to your pillow cause it’s the only thing that’s gonna listen to your whining.

If you really, truly want to see something done, either get off your ass and write it yourself or pull out your wallet and be prepared to pay for it while giving a nice and respectful message to the writer you’re paying.

Rule number 1 in asking for shit: DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TEDTalk. Your bs is NOT appreciated!

And to you, dear fellow author, keep up the amazing work and remember to take a break and drink some water every now and then! I genuinely enjoy your writing and simply can’t wait for October!! Much love!!!!

I really don’t like to explain just how much time I spend on this blog because at the end of the day, that’s my choice but I will say that some of the fics for October Special took me more than a day to write!

I’m pretty sure from memory that 12 out of 13 of those fics are over 1K words & I know for some that’s easy to accomplish & I know for others, it can take some time. For me, some of these fics took me a little longer than I expected. I spent my 2 week break from my graphic design course to get through these requests so that I could not only give content but also be apart of something fun and exciting.

I’m still really excited to post these, some of them are in my list of favourite fics I’ve written & that makes me so much more excited to share them.

Unfortunately when I was putting together the Masterlist I had a background thought of “oh man, this isn’t going to be that great” & that was simply because I knew that there was that lack of Wanda & Natasha content. They’re popular and gain more audience but I also kept telling myself that I wanted to give something a little different, which is why there’s more Yelena & Kate than others. Not to mention the Agatha fic I wrote that I’m keen for people to read.

I know I’ll never be able to keep everybody happy, I wish I could but I can’t and I’m sorry for that. But I really do hope people start to understand that creating literally anything isn’t easy, it takes time, practice and patience!!

I love you all who have shown kindness and support, even when I feel that I am at the end of the cliff and want to just delete my blog (dw I’ll never delete, but it’s a thought that I have sometimes). You guys make me happy and for that I’m so thankful ❤️💜

*not sure if your name is Rachel but if it is, hiii we are name twins haha!*

[literateowl]

hi r! it's nice ask week! i have come to bother you (affectionately!)

what's your favorite hobby outside of fandom?

who is your all time comfort character?

if you had to pick one character out of all of 911/Lone Star to spend a day with, who would it be?

Hi Rachel! Thank you for your affection! 🩷💜

My favorite hobby outside of fandom is to disappear into the woods hiking!

My all time favorite comfort character is probably Lilo (& Stitch of course they should not be separated)

One character I would want to spend a day with is a tough one!

Marjan is probably the best choice for me and we would go shopping because all her clothes are awesome and you know has all the gossip I wanna hear about.

I was tempted to say TK or Buck because I love them so much ❤️ but I am also an agent of chaos and queer disaster so I decided that that's too much chaos and there might be a casualty or injury of some sort and that'd be embarrassing.

[chodzacaparodia]

hejka ❤️ tell me a book that made you want to scream by the time you got to the end

Hejo❤️

Thank you so much for your ask!!

I think it will be "Night of the Dragon" by Julie Kagawa. The entire "Shadow of the Fox" trilogy was fine, but the last volume made me want to scream non-stop. It's mainly because of the relationship between the characters. Every interaction between Okame and Daisuke made me want to scream. Their scenes are SO GOOD! I love them so much, they are one of my favorite ships. So I was dying and screaming because of them. Yumeko and Tatsumi are also a couple I really adore. They made me so emotional! And what did the author do with these characters… What the hell, Kagawa?! WHAT THE HELL? I love you and hate you at the same time. I hope you hear my scream about "Night of the Dragon". And the end of this book? *SCREAMING*

Besides, I also recently read "My Summer in Seoul" by Rachel van Dyken and I wanted to scream too… in frustration at the naivety and stupidity of the main character and the behavior of her love object. "NO GOD! PLEASE NO!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO" - my inner scream. Have a nice day ❤️

[i-may-be]

Hi there I would like to request a romantic match up for haikyuu, Marvel and Percy Jackson (if three are too much then just cut them out)

General facts:

I'm a 22 old, female she/her, hetero, ESTP/ESFP, aries. I have an undercut hairstyle. (length kinda like ushijima so my profile picture isn't that accurate anymore)

Basically I'm a open and humorous person who likes to laugh :) I don't have a particular fashion style, I wear mostly everything from sweat pants and Hoodie with sneakers to mini skirt or rockabilly dress with high heals. I have no favorite color but I don't like pink...

Personality/character :

When you first meet me I am nice, polite but rather quiet or reserved. Knowing each other better I am very direct and straight out with my emotions of any kind. Whether I'm mad, sad or in a good mood. Even then I'm quite humorous. I am like an open book for most to read as you can tell by my nonverbal body language what I am like right now. I can get very aggressive and angry if someone is stupid towards me or starts a fight with me or my friends. On the other hand I speak before I think without any filter ... And I only notice that afterwards... But if someone points my inappropriate behavior out to me I would apologize immediately :)

- I'm a very helpful and nice person. I would do everything for my friends and family if they ask

- I'm a good listener. And because of my own family history I know If someone’s having a bad day and needs emotional support.

- I'm really good in organizing things

- I'm faithful and loyal. If you mess with me or my friends I will fight everyone.

- I'm to stubborn and straight forward. When I have a goal in mind, I don’t give up so easily. It can also backfire.

- I speak before I think. So I may say inappropriate in front of others...

- When I'm interested in something, sometimes I just focus on it and only want to talk about it, which can really get on others' nerves

Hobbies:

My hobbies are

producing my own little video clips or drawing

I like to bake :)

I can play violin but I don't get any lessons anymore :)

I am interested in technology especially IT and love to make, build and program things and websites myself.

I love helping with repairs on the house, but also building furniture, as well as electronics and electrics.

What I dislike about people:

-I don’t like being underestimated by my intelligence and physical strength and behaving towards me as if I were a fool.

Fun facts:

-I have an extreme visual defect (nearsightedness) + I can't see in three dimensions, so I'm kinda blind in some way xD

(if I don't wear glasses it's as if I see my surroundings as a picture...)

- so basically I'm looking for a guy who shares my humor and is able to handle/accept my flaws :) and he shouldn't underestimate me.

- I think I would go to Karasuno.

- in my opinion I'm a Iwaizumi kinnie :)

- I love movie soundtracks! the whole soundtrack, original music from the composer + epic soundtracks from two steps from hell, audiomachine, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Rachel Portman etc.  So they are my favorites(recently my favorite soundtrack is the whole haikyuu soundtrack!).

But i also have pop and rock on my playlist along with some electronic songs and classic music. So basically a bit from everything :) 

Love language/type

- When I'm in a relationship with my boyfriend I would spoil him physically(massages) , with gifts and emotional equally (showing up ar his work place, preparing dinner, organize quality time in front of the TV with cuddling and watching favorite movies, etc.)

-my type of men: I like men how respect me and others, who don't get jealous that easily. Who like to activities with me but also can stay on the couch. I'm a very cuddly person and like to show pda so body contact is required.

Soooo I hope that's not too much information, and I hope I included everything you need :)

Thank you in advance ❤️

hello! thank you for choosing this blog for your matchup <3

HAIKYUU!

ROMANTIC MATCHUP: Daichi Sawamura

HOW YOU MET

It was school, plain and simple.

Ok it wasn't just that simple, you were actually asked to be a manager of the volleyball team so you met through that.

Whether you become a manager is up to you ofc but that's where you met.

It was a kinda formal meeting? Like you both really just discussed the team and what it would probably be like to be a manager. It was mostly the senior manager you spoke to.

Either way you had a few classes together so now you know a nice guy in those classes! A win!

RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS

He's definitely spectacular at reading your body language and approaching you about how you feel. He always has your comfort as a top priority, like the other two ofc but Sawamura is a little more open and obvious about this.

You know the kind of people who like rub your arm/leg/ect as their main form of physical affection, or something like that. That's him fr. He also does his lil face kisses but that's his most prominent way, especially with pda.

He has a pretty busy job(he's a local police officer to remind you!!) that sometimes has some really irreguar shifts so he tries his hardest to always warn you before hand!! He leaves notes and leaves a salad he made for you in the fridge before he was called to work or something!! Also texts too!!! The note is mostly a backup.

This man's humor is so underated!!!! His jokes never fail to make you laugh and he always knows when it's an appropraite time to use them and when's not. He's just a 10/10, top noche boyfriend who really cares about you and a responsible guy <3

HANGING OUT

I firmly believe this man will try to teach you volleyball. He'll give you and pointers you need he's just happy to share his interests with you!!

He really likes when you play violin, he thinks you make it sound extra pretty. He likes to find songs you might like to learn on the violin with you.

He may be horrible at baking, but he is very very good at passing you the ingrediants. Anway he enjoys watching you bake and sometimes being helpful!! He has v v bad technique but maybe with your help he can learn <3

No thoughts just the two of you guys building/fixing furniture together. If you guys ever got a place to live together there would be absolutely no broken furniture like it's all fixed up.

PERCY JACKSON

ROMANTIC MATCHUP: Frank Zhang

HOW YOU MET

It was a part time job at a corner store of wtv you call them where you live. It was a really quiet one that only had customers at certain times+random locals who ran out of milk or something else idk.

Anyway it would be really awkward just twidling your thumbs the entire time in a shop with only like the radio in the background.

You both first really talked when you were helping restock shelves and it was cool so you both started talking more.

You found he was pretty reliable for helping cover shifts that you didn't share together. He was a real reliable guy.

You both exchanged numbers on one random day a while after you started talking after you realised that you didn't have each other's numbers already.

RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS

I feel like he really likes those matching couple things but like... subtly. I dunno maybe you have bracklets with each other's initials on them. Maybe you both share earings, it's cute idk :)

Whenever you say anything inappropraite without thinking he's wide-eyed before reassuring you that it wasn't that bad. He sometimes thinks he should be used to you doing that but he never expects it.

Gift giving goes both ways. I think he likes to specifically give you fluffy things you'll like. He gives you books and sometimes semi-useful trinkets too, but he likes giving you soft things!!

I feel like playlist trading is quite common too. Like he'll make a playlist of songs that remind you of him, then realise that they're from several different genres and then organise them , and then they're continuously added to. He probably makes playlist of songs that remind him of characters from shows/movies you like and share the playlists with you!!

HANGING OUT

He is begging you to talk about your music taste. He finds it cool that your music taste is so diverse and he'll probably try to follow you in expanding his music taste, since he typically only listened to what his mother and grandmother would listen to.

Very much cuddly too, sometimes you'll find him as like a cat or something to curl up if you want more room. I think he'll make a really fluffy place.

Not sure why but I think you'd have fun clothes shopping together. Maybe it's just window shopping but you guys going around looking at clothes together would be fun, especially since you both have a broad sorta style.

This man has all of your comfort/favourite movies on a list so he doesn't forget whenever ya'll have movie night. Think any evening your usually free (probably Friday for most) and you both sit down and watch a nice movie :]

MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE

ROMANTIC MATCHUP: Luis (Antman movies)

HOW YOU MET

Met at one of those collage parties, your friend invited you to it so it was kind of like a friend of a friend's party it was hype.

It's cool, it's nice. Your mostly sticking with your friend group cause I mean, they're there too. It isn't a crazy party like you see on a tv show or smth idk I haven't been to a party ever.

Ya'know when you're talking with your friends and you somehow merge with another friendgroup and it's kind of like ??? how did this happen but you're cool with it because it's fun??

Yeah that's what happened. You all had a lotta fun and it was cool!!! One of your friends got all their numbers and added you all to a groupchat so you guys could talk through there.

You both didn't actually text or talk at all after that until you both met at a coffee shop and were like yo!! I know you that's so crazy.

RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS

I feel like he'd be really curious about your sight problems. Like he'll ask you really strange and specific questions about it. You'll probably have to take a moment to think about it.

He will randomly compliment you and it'll be prompted by literally anything. You started baking something? You're spectacular! Wonderful! Gorgeous! He just likes complimenting you.

Will fight someone who upsets you(well kinda?). He calls them out in a really calm manner and gets you out of the situation really quickly. He's definitely an obvious sweetheart.

I think if you were to give him permission to he would probably put one of your drawings to a wall. Like he sees you had a cool art moment and he's like "yo!! people should see this it's so good!!!" Either way he's just so supportive of you and wants you to get the recognition you deserve!! He probably doudles for fun on his own too thanks to your influence <3

HANGING OUT

He likes talking about future plans. Maybe where you want to work, or where you want to live. He likes the idea of having something to look forward to.

This one may sound little strange but you guys talking about childhood crushes or crushes in like something your watching, even celebrity crushes. I dunno just seems like some fun bonding activity and who doesn't like talking about to characters and people they like to others right?

Either him hanging in your friendgroup or you hanging out with his. I think you both just like being with people who know and respect you!!

SHOW HIM YOUR PROGRAMING I BEG. He thinks it's so awesome and is always down to test and run over it!!! Honestly he's just really supportive of any of your interests :] I feel like you're both the type to focus in on things. Both of you can just talk about whatever cool thing it is this time and it's fun!!

[hidetheremote]

Word vomit below. 😭😭😭

😭😭😭 No, no. I’m just cutting onions. Don’t mind me! Thank you so much, @sabinasanfanfic, for taking the time to write me a nice story. This was beautiful.

I can see the struggle for you to make KazaChi happen for me, LOL. And because even though I had given you no other choice when you asked what were some of my favorite ships (I should’ve figured out you were dropping hints!), you went and wrote against your principles.

But I see you. I see you wonderfully insert some Kazama assholeness. He really hates humans. But you also wrote his tender side (no matter how little he has). That inner dialogue was superb. Biting his tongue for Chizuru’s sake.

I see you insert HijiChi in there like they were end game. And I can’t fight you on that at all. Because let’s all be honest... Chizuru chose Hijikata in the end and as much as I sail the KazaChi ship, Hijikata loved her as well. I can totally believe he died protecting Chizuru.

And fuck yes, she went back to Kazama. And Kazama loves her so much, he doesn’t care if he’s sloppy seconds. Because in the end he still wanted her.

This was an amazing story and you’re an amazing writer. Thank you for this!

-❤️ Rachell

Happy Birthday, @hidetheremote! I hope you enjoy your day and this little drabble! ❤️

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She came back.

Kazama wasn’t completely sure how she had tracked him, and he came to the conclusion that she must’ve used her Oni powers to do so. She arrived when the pitch black night of a new moon was giving way to the grey of early morning. She said nothing. Kazama merely let her in and settled her into a room to rest.

When Chizuru awoke later that afternoon, Kazama could tell that the spirited young woman he had left on Ezo had been dimmed. He could feel the visceral anger he always felt for humans surge up as well as the petulant urge to tell her “I told you so,” but his mouth remained shut. Instead, he offered her lunch and watched her mechanically eat. All Kazama could think was that he was never going to let her return to the humans again.

“They’re gone,” she finally whispered. “Hi-Hijikata…he gave his life.”

So that was what happened. Kazama felt a grudging sort of sympathy for a brief moment. As much as he despised the man, he had to give him credit for dying with honor and never waivering in his convictions. Hijikata was truly one who wasn’t completely like other humans, and it was a shame that he had sped through his life.

Chizuru said nothing else about the subject. After lunch, she returned to her room to sleep some more. Kazama wanted to scold her like an errant child, but he also knew that if he wanted her to stay, he needed to keep his mouth shut. Instead, he took to his own room, settled himself comfortably on a cushion, and smoked his kiseru while allowing himself to rage at the humans that kept this Oni woman from him for far too long.

The next morning, Chizuru was more like herself, and Kazama approved as he watched her eat a little more than she did the previous day.

“Thank you,” Chizuru finally said after she had eaten a good portion of her meal. “You didn’t have to take me in.”

Kazama snorted. “Of course I did. What sort of Oni would I be if I abandoned one of the clan leaders?”

Chizuru startled. “But I…I refused you. You have every right-“

Kazama’s answering smile was feral. “Yes, you did, but I suppose not everyone learns from what they are told by those wiser than them. Some must experience for themselves in order to finally believe. I was hoping to spare you that pain, but I see you have finally seen what I’ve been trying to tell you.”

Chizuru frowned thoughtfully. “If you think that I now believe humans to be terrible, you’re wrong. I won’t ever change my mind on that.”

“He abandoned you, Chizuru,” Kazama growled. “After he promised to protect you!”

Chizuru huffed. “He did it to protect me! He knew Ezo wouldn’t be safe, and he thought he was doing the right thing by leaving me in Edo.” Her voice broke, and Kazama saw tears in her eyes. “He was right. It wasn’t…”

Kazama could sense there was more that happened that she didn’t say, and he wondered what exactly had transpired after he left. Either way, he could tell whatever it was had deeply upset Chizuru. Kazama sighed.

“I’m glad you’ve returned.”

Chizuru looked up at him, shock in her eyes. “Will you accept me as I am?”

Kazama closed his eyes with a small smile and shook his head. “Of course, even if I don’t agree with your views on humans.”

Chizuru’s smile was small but full of conviction. “Then I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.”
