#WHAT THEN!

[sochilll]

Kleinsen 58.. please....

58. "Do I make you nervous?" (Prompt list!)

“I mean, what’s the point of coming to a gay club if you weren’t gonna flirt with any guys?” Jared took a long sip of his drink. He’d ordered a vodka coke but the ice was melting quick and he needed to finish it before the watery vodka and flat soda became nauseating.

“The environment. The culture.” Evan’s cup was still full. He’d gotten a vodka coke too, mostly because saying “I’ll have the same” was easier than making a choice.

“Bullshit.”

“I just can’t.” Evan raised his voice to be heard over the music. “I get nervous around hot guys.”

“Why’d you gesture at me?”

“I didn’t,” Evan said quickly.

“Yes you did. You said ‘hot guys’ and then clearly gestured toward me.”

“No I didn’t,” Evan insisted.

Jared tilted his head. “Do… I make you nervous?”

“You make me irritated.”

Jared stepped toward him. He was having a whirlwind of a night and something in the back of his only slightly alcohol muddled brain was telling him to ruin his longest lasting friendship.

“Evan,” Jared leaned into his space. “Do I make you nervous?”

Evan’s entire face was bright red but to his credit, he remained strong.

“No. You’re pretty much the only person who doesn’t.”

Jared considered that. “Is that better or worse?”

“I… don’t know,” Evan’s eyes only dipped for a second but Jared still caught it. “I can’t… think. I… you’re throwing me off.”

“Why?”

“Cause you’re annoying.”

“You’re a shitty liar.” Jared grinned. “You wouldn’t hang out with me so much if you didn’t like me.”

“Didn’t say I didn’t like you. You’re just annoying too.”

Jared reached behind Evan to set his cup on the bar. Evan jumped, bumping into the polished wood behind him.

“Very normal reaction.”

“Shut up,” Evan mumbled. “Didn’t you come here to pick up a guy? Why don’t you go do that?”

Jared shrugged, the two shots and the vodka coke were mingling in his brain. “Maybe I am.”

Evan sputtered.

Jared smiled slightly. “You can say no.”

It took Evan a few moments to stop stammering. He took a long drink and then set his cup on the bar. “I’m not saying no.”

Jared kissed him before he could think better of it. Evan’s hands were clumsy, landing on Jared’s hips for a moment before pulling back and resting on his shoulders instead. Jared pressed him into the bar which was probably uncomfortable but Evan wasn’t complaining.

They were interrupted by a sharp elbow in Jared’s back. It wasn’t completely uncalled for as they were blocking the bar, but Jared gave the guy a dirty look anyway.

“Do you wanna get out of here?” He asked Evan leaning closer than he needed to under the pretense of being heard over the music. “I have a really nice place a few blocks away.”

“You have a studio and it’s shit.” Evan said, but he followed Jared anyway.

They stumbled out into the cool, fresh air. It was a relief after being in the stuffy club. Jared stood there for a moment, enjoying the breeze.

“Jared,” Evan raised his eyebrows. He was hugging his arms and shivering slightly. “Are we gonna go?”

Jared looked at him. Evan. Standing there, waiting to follow Jared home. Looking at Jared like nothing at all was wrong. Like they hadn’t ruined anything.

“Jared,” he said again, smiling slightly. “I’m freezing. Can we go?”

“Yeah,” Jared stuffed his hands into his pockets. “Come on.”

He started off, Evan catching up and falling into step beside him.

Also in the solitary confinement situation, adrien constantly talked with felix(unaware he is felix) non stop even after felix fell asleep, felix now officially knows way more about adriens life than adrien himself does. He also knows how many tiles there were in the room and the lore of 12 animes start to finish. Not to mention too many details about how marinettes hair looks under moonlight or sth probably. at some point felix felt so awful for him he even stopped teasing him. Even attempted to make puns like thats how bad it was

this is way too easy for me to imagine lol. like i might even have to make a fic out of it bc i cannot get the image of adrien & felix lying awake in the dark, twin telepathizing their shared nightmares & comiserating, out of my head.

like adrien would be like "do you know he gave me a foosball table and no one to play it with" and felix would just be like "you would've lost anyway"

or felix would say "something just like this happened in the shoujo manga i'm reading" and adrien like "you read manga?" and felix: "yeah kagami made me" and adrien "nerd. anyways about demon slayer--"

and lol adrien talking about "my nightmare is of me acidentally destroying the world" and felix seeing exactly what adrien's seeing, chat blanc and dead ladybug in his arms and just being like "lol wait. wtf."

and then adrien asking why felix isn't plagued by nightmares like everyone else and felix looking at adrigami on his alliance going "well it's already real innit."

It will be the truth!

Ten's always afraid to lose love and be alone, because he was created by love in a way!

Tentoo got the corage to love Rose from Nine!

and what if I told you nine was less afraid of love than ten. what then.

So there’s a trend going round where you draw Miku inspired by your own culture and normally I just sit those out bc i’m from England but then the image of her covered in fake tan with the full chav makeup and sloppily bleached blue pigtails popped into my head and i almost threw up laughing. So here’s bri’ish Miku. She smells like impulse body spray and spent the last 30 minutes arguing with the teacher who told her to take her coat off. It’s chewsday innit

edit: i fucked up with the cigarette i know it’s the wrong way round blease stop making fun of me 😔💔

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

really beautiful things are happening between americans and chinese netizens right now

remembering the time i drunkenly told a stranger i was a trans man and he started going off about alpha sigma and beta males and how each one was equally important no matter what anyone says and that i shouldn't feel pressured to be a strong alpha male because emotionally intelligent beta males were just as important
