一 very pretty

♡ wc: 724

♡ elisa posts like a 60 yr old but its ok cause its her

you double checked your bag, making sure you had everything you needed. your company had recently sponsored a certain soccer club and you were assigned to their infamous #5. 

it was an outdoor scenery on a bridge by the water, so no extra lighting was needed. meaning the rest of your small crew you usually had with you, wasn’t there. you were kind of nervous to be alone with her since you didn't know that much about her. 

so when you made it to the designated spot and see her and who you assume is a manager of some sort, your nerves seem to worsen. she's so pretty. her manager smiles at you then waves, leaving you two alone. 

your greetings are quiet and awkward before you distract yourself with getting your camera ready. you can't help but notice how nice she looks in her outfit. from the pictures you’ve seen of her, it was very different compared to what she normally wears. 

once you're ready, you sling your camera to your hip and motion her over to where you’d take the pictures. she follows closely behind and you tell her to pose how ever is comfortable for her. 

but you can't hold in your laugh and she stands with her arms awkwardly by her sides. “try to loosen up a bit, yeah?” she laughs softly and nods, switching positions. however, this one isn't much better than the first. 

you giggle, lowering your camera and walking over to her. “um, here, let me..” you trail off, moving behind her and gently grabbing her wrists. you angle them, avoiding her eyes which you can feel on you. once you do look at her, she smiles at you. 

if you thought you weren't nervous before, you definitely are now. butterflies in your stomach erupt and you quickly go back to your position, fumbling with your camera. after taking some, you stand next to her, clicking through the ones you took to show her.

you look up for a moment, hoping she's happy with them only to find her looking at you instead. “pretty.” is all she says and you find yourself going red. “the pictures. they're very pretty.” she says turning away, the grass suddenly very interesting. 

“ah, it's all you really.” you mutter, pretending to do something important while clicking random buttons. she laughs, “they say the beauty is in the beholder, yknow.” 

“i guess you’re the beholder then.” you say, suddenly feeling bold. this time, she's the one going red. and when you actually show her the pictures, she compliments your skills. she watches how flustered you get, quietly thanking her. 

before you both know it you’ve taken all you need (along with a couple more cutely awkward touches). the way back to the rest of the staff is a quiet one with the sun setting behind you two on the bridge. “wait,,let me get a picture of you.” 

“of me? why?” you ask after hesitating for a moment. “you look pretty.” your little game of blushing hadn't ended, but you were losing badly now. you back up a bit after handing her your camera. your arms perch up against the railing, looking towards your left. 

you weren't usually on this side of the lense, but you had some experience. so you assumed your pose was fine. however, elisa thought otherwise. she walks up to you with a hum. her tongue pokes out a bit as she holds your arm, turning you the other way.

just when you think she's done, her fingers softly grip your chin, turning your face towards hers. which is a lot closer than you thought it was. the moment seems to last forever while you look at her before she backs up. 

she snaps the photo, a toothy grin on her face once she sees it. “see? very pretty.” she says, flipping the camera to show you. you don't bother looking at the photo, basking in the way she smiled and how the sun seem to hit her just right. you nod, “mhm..very pretty.” 

一

once the day was done and after meeting with your crew, you were rather happy to find out you’d be taking photos for her a second time. making sure to act extra clueless if she asks to take pictures of you again.

一 sorry this took so long 😭

[decepti-thots]

I would like to hear about which characters would use which kind of fountain pen 👀

okay, so with the caveat that all of this is coming from me researching pens in my quest to become slightly a 'pen person' and not like. being one. (but also from the perspective of watching my friend talk extremely in-depth about this for many years, and cribbing from her, in my defense.)

here are some random character-pen matchups and headcanons bc why not!!

first off. minimus, obviously.

there's a few things i think about this: he's fundamentally conservative in his tastes i think (no wild experimental designs), someone who would not want to spend an Excessive amount of money but also someone who would definitely have a higher-end one quality wise, and he'd have really nitpicky taste about shit like quality control. with this in mind, the guides i read that were offering opinions on higher-end 'beginner pens' consistently brought up the Pilot Custom 74, which is like, the platonic ideal of just a functional good quality Fountain Pen TM:

look at it. that sure is a ~£190 fountain pen! it's classic, functional, a solid 'name', expensive enough i feel like a person who grew up well off would be like 'oh this is my everyday pen' and i would be sort of like 'the fuck that costs half my rent'. lmao. but not like, someone splashing out a thousand quid or more expensive, yknow. he's probably had this same pen for like. the equivalent of twenty years or more. i'm sure he has more than one but this is his 'workhorse'.

here's another one i immediately am like 'oh i know what to pick' about. this one less in terms of specifically 'this character would use it' and more like 'this character reminds me of this pen'. it's rewind! and the pen is a Tombow Zoom 828fp because. well. look at this.

MINI PEN. CHIBI LITTLE FOUNTAIN PEN. there's apparently a chinese pen that is a lot cheaper you can get of this little chonker's basic design, and i'm very, very seriously tempted to get one and call it 'rewind'. lmao. short and charmingly proportioned! i don't think rewind probably actually uses a pen but maybe this was one of those spousal in-joke gifts pre-war or something like 'haha this reminded me of you'/'are you calling me short' or whatever idfk. the point is. TINY PEN.

nautica got riptide a Jinhao 993 to cheer him up when they started doing lessons in that one issue towards the end of MTMTE/pre-DotL and he's finding it difficult maybe. "why would a fountain pen cheer him up-" THIS IS WHY LOOK AT THESE

my pen friend got the pink one of these for a fiver or something, bc i pointed out it was a pink shark and therefore a Nimona pen. haha. anyway. that's why riptide has a fountain pen.

rodimus is having a mid life crisis, and also magnus will probably think he is Mature and Good At Work if he shows up with a fountain pen, he figures one time, so he wheedles money off drift and buys this monstrosity, which to be clear costs EIGHT THOUSAND EUROS and is supposed to look like a cool racecar themed... thing. montegrappa is so fucking overpriced and tacky and they're invariably hilarious to me whenever they release some godawful tie-in thing.

now prowl. prowl doesn't have a fountain pen because prowl is the sort of person who insists on constantly having fucking. Gadgets TM. you know. the man thinks a smart fridge is a necessity, for some fucking reason. if it's electronic it's Better. however, LAMY, i found out, in addition to its wide range of pens, also makes like... high-end digital pens? you know, in the style of their most well known fountain pen design (LAMY safari) but like. a stylus. buying a brand-name pen manufacturer's stylus bc you want to have a fountain pen but also refuse to do anything not on a tablet or something is. 100% prowl to me.

and i think that drift would have a LAMY 2000. look at this thing. it's somehow so slick and modern looking in a way most fountain pens aren't without feeling weird or like it isn't one. it's also a really well regarded pen across the board and so many people swear by this thing. (my friend does indeed have this one!) he's got it because he (canonically) journals, obviously, he is whipping this bad boy out after meditation to Chronicle His Emotional State (usually um. bad. moving along.) it's one of the nice things he bought himself after he somehow acquired all that money (stole it on his way out from the decepticons).

sidenote: megatron doesn't use a fountain pen, despite being a canonical writer. his handwriting is fucking atrocious and he would break one pressing too hard if he tried. he privately thinks they're sort of pointless, but lets minimus endlessly explain nib types for the sake of indulging someone he likes and who clearly is used to being told to shut up.

[digitalcockroach]

i think a lot of tumblr has weirdly strong feelings and opinions on Neil Gaiman and Good Omens like it's popular and popular to hate and victim to Tumblr Discourse, there's a loud subset of (usually young but not always uhg) fans that are obnoxious uwu soft bean terminally online types, and there's a a kind of reactionary hatred and criticism for Neil and Gomens itself (and laugh at me if you must but there is some of that coming from a homophobic, transphobic, abliest place. it is not coincidence that these reactionary hate for fandoms is worst when a fandom is predominantly queer and neurodivergent like i get it whatever we all need someone to bully not the point here) and there are PLENTY of things to not like about the man, the show, and the fandom but like

one sentiment i see going around in the wake of s2 is that Neil Gaiman is just a Bad Writer which like. objectively doesn't really add up. in terms of technical skill and success of his work? he's very skilled and respected as a writer, he's considered a master of his craft, he's won awards, yknow? whether the stories he tells are compelling or interesting or important is subjective, hate em all you want, but he is TECHNICALLY a good writer which leads me to my main question

WTF happened to s2 of Gomens????? like i liked s1 enough to watch it 3 or 4 times, i loved the book in high school, i was excited for new content despite my misgivings about extending a completed story! and this is what we get? the major worldbuild hook, an arch-angel thrown out of heaven without his memories now in the care of the angel and demon who saved the world from said arch-angel essentially, is a fucking C plot after fanservice azi/crow flashbacks and a weird uncomfortable not-romance between two random new characters (and this isn't even mentioning the major spoilers for way stupider plot decisions). none of the humans from s1 are there. there's 0 tension (except for in the final cliffhanger scene) bc they just. basically say "nah no you wont" and fix all their problems. literal deus ex machina resolution. the writing is bad, the ACTING is bad in the case of the weird ass Beelzebub recast (WHY would you draw attention to it by mentioning they look different TWICE) who moves like a tiktok teenager and can't lipsynch and oh yeah has a completely different personality. i get that some things were on purpose, i see the hints and foreshadowing for a s3, i get that some ooc-ness of characters is likely to be revealed as part of a bigger plot eventually but y'all. i sat through this Bad season of TV hoping the few interesting and genuinely cute moments would pay off, and they did not. why would i wait for another season of this shit to actually resolve anything?

I'm just fuckin disappointed in it yknow it was a total fanfiction of itself and i have literally read better gomens fic than what s2 did

Sherlock Holmes Reactions As A Flaming Homosexual (part 5 lmao)

Again I will be putting this shit under the cut because it's gonna be So Long and also fair warning for sherlock is in fact a raging drug addict and I have a lot of yknow parts that talk about that so tread with caution but hi i am once again yelling. keep in mind i am deliriously ill while writing this one but i think i sound. just about as insane as usual. maybe it's a bit less organized tho lol

OK FIRST I WILL STATE IT SOMEHOW DID NOT COME TO MY ATTENTION FIRST READING SIGN OF FOUR THAT WATSON APPARENTLY F U C K S

like i think it's so funny that most people will look at those two and definitely think it's the other way around but no. sherlocks a virgin and watson has had sex with every woman ever and probably not limited to women

and another thing I somehow missed the first time around in sign of four. sherlock sherlock please honey this is serious get help

TH

THREE TIMES A GODDAMN DAY???? SHERLOCK I AM BEGGING YOU TO STOP HOW IS THIS MAN ALIVE

Funniest thing is that watson tells him to stop and hes like Watson i Only do drugs when the Newspaper is boring

is the newspaper boring three times a day sherlock. is it really

And at the same time sherlock checks the paper like a goddamn phone notification he'll just run out and get the latest version to see if anything's changed just like on the hour. Wow that man is not neurotypical.

poor watson tbh

why are these men just batshit fucking insane I love them

So yeah back to some random funny bits i got from reading a ton of the short stories

Ok i must say it's quite funny just my experience being either reading something about sherlock and watson and going awww they're in love or just violently yelling S H E R L O C K

Cause i was like reading a bit where watson was talking about how he was on a nice little walk with sherlock, you know, the kind of walk where no one talks but it's really comfortable and you know only people who know each other Very Intimately like him and sherlock are that well together and i was just like aww

And then three seconds later I'm laughing my ass off about "how did you know my name" "IT WAS ON YOUR HAT"

SDHFDHHDFHFDS AND ALSO THAT TIME WHEN SHERLOCK JUST COMPLETELY GODDAMN MISREAD A SITUATION AND MADE UP THIS CONSPIRACY ABOUT LIKE A SECRET HUSBAND WHOS DEATH HAD BEEN FAKED AND THEN IT WAS JUST OH NO MY KID'S BLACK WHATEVER SHALL I DO

AND BECAUSE HE WAS SO EMBARASSED ABOUT IT HES LIKE WATSON IF I EVER MAKE UP SOME DUMB SHIT LIKE THAT AGAIN FEEL FREE TO CALL ME A FUCKING IDIOT and wow thats the most humble thing hes ever done

And then he starts saying shit like "i hope your marriage doesn't change anything between us" like damn shawty what is that supposed to mean /homosexual

I also love how bc watson is the only one writing it when sherlock is talking about something that happened to him in the past with quotes and stuff there's just like seven fucking quotation marks around each other im dying

SGBDFSNNDSGNSFNFDSDFS I THOUGHT THE SHOOTING THE WALL THING WAS A YUUMORI SPECIFIC THING NO HE JUST DOES IT FOR FUN AND NOT JUST ONCE LIKE HE MAKES ART OUT OF THE FUCKING BULLET HOLES HE WAS MAKING BULLET HOLE ART OF QUEEN VICTORIA PLEASE IM CRYING AND HUDSON WAS LIKE STOP??? SHOOTING THE WALL??? AND HES LIKE SHAWTY IM ALMOST DONE CALM DOWN

And when they make him clean his goddamn room im losing my mind why does he keep random shit from his old cases "in case it comes in handy" and "to remember that time i solved that thing" i am going to throw marie kondo at you

BASFBGHDFSHGFHFSDHHDSFDS IM NOT EVEN SURPRISED THIS HAPPENED BUT ITS SO FUNNY WHEN HE JUST GOT SO HYPERFIXATED ON A CASE THAT HE JUST FUCKING. WORKED ON IT 15 HRS A DAY FOR TWO MONTHS AND THEN GOT SO EXHAUSTED AND SICK THAT WATSON HAD TO TAKE CARE OF HIM AND TAKE HIM TO THE SEASIDE TO GET BETTER LIKE HE GOT VICTORIAN WOMAN DISEASE AND SOMEONE IMMEDIATELY FUCKING GOT MURDERED RIGHT NEXT DOOR AND WATSONS JUST LIKE. HHHHHHHHHHH FINE I SUPPOSE YOU JUST FUCKING KILL YOURSELF AGAIN ALL THIS IS FOR NOTHING IM TRYING SO GODDAMN HARD

I feel so bad for him, hes just trying so hard to keep this idiot alive and it is Not Working

Ok so like this is something Im still absolutely reeling over because it's like. it doesn't even seem real to me but the fact that Sherlock has multiple times just like gone to watson's house in the middle of the night, climbed up his goddamn wall and into his window, been like "you better not be busy" and started Talking

Like. Man's in his nightgown and just sees this fucker climbing in the window like "WATSON WATSON YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND" and not just that. he's like "I only came in because you don't fucking sleep with your wife and it appears that you don't have any men in here either so I thought it was ok" LIKE ONE, WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN SHERLOCK WHY WOULD HE HAVE OTHER MEN IN HIS BEDROOM SEHGIHO:EWOHO:GHE BUT TWO, WHYYY ARE THEY GAY

He didn't even fucking ask or say he was gonna do that no watson just has no clue when hes gonna show up and start remarking upon watson's appearance what even. homosexuals

Sherlock honestly just baffles me sometimes.

Oh, also, I read the one with Mycroft in it, and wow, is the man just as boring as he is in yuumori. That's just hilarious that sherlock is this absolutely insane man and then in contrast his older brother Pays Money to Sit In A Completely Silent Room and Read The Paper

It's so funny how he's like. Straight up even smarter than sherlock but no one gives a shit about him because he just. Is so fucking boring and antisocial

Like, we don't know anything about Sherlock's childhood but like. Part of me wants to think that it must have been absolutely insane and then Mycroft's rebellious stage was to just be fucking boring. Like. I would believe that. Just imagine that

I am going to make the final problem stuff its own post just cause I went absolutely insane over it but yea this was certainly an experience

[forgotten-daydreamer]

Hey, I'm so fucking sorry, I shouldn't have asummed anything about your parents. I know nothing of your life or theirs, it's just that I feel like you deserve support.

I get what you say about being hard to connect with people and feeling like you're not worth it. Look, again, I know nothing of your life and I'm trying really hard to not get into the whole "you matter and being alive is wonderful" kind of shit, because I struggle with this kind of thing too and I know it isn't something you can turn off just like that. But I do think that you're young and that no one should think that others would be better without them.

The you being great thing just came to me, honestly, I've follow you here for a while and your posts always resonate with me. I have fun with some of the things that you post, even the ones that I don't know of, I relate to some of the other things and I just want to hug you for the others. Sure, you can be an unreliable narrator (it's your blog, after all), but I don't think you're lying when you show that you care for others so much. And caring for others, trying your best to be better, even when it's hard, I think it makes you a really great person.

I guess it's really selfish, saying this things and trying to make you feel a little bit better. But more than anything I really hope it helps even a little bit. I think you don't have to be perfect to be valuable, you just have to care. Then again, I'm just some random person reading your post from time to time, caring even if I don't really know you.

I'm sorry for making you feel bad and for overstepping.

oh no wait please don't apologise, i think i haven't explained myself well, no no no i wasn't sad because of what you said, i am sad in general. it's really okay, please don't feel bad, i swear.

and, well, i normally am a reliable narrator because i can't lie, but when i get into fights i know for a fact that i am not. i mean, i'm enough self-aware to know that i can't always be right yknow? and just saying, i am the only one in the family who acknowledges it, and most of my friends don't either tbh, but since i have no pride to preserve i am not ashamed of saying when i'm wrong. Which is... most of the times, yeah, fucking mess yknow?

your asks help me a lot, they always come at the right time and you never overstepped so far, i swear i'd tell you if you did, please trust me on this one. I'm saying this as a momentarily reliable narrator, promise.

i appreciate you following me and reading my posts! this blog is quite chaotic but so am i, so it reflects what's in my head quite well at least hahah. my inbox is always open, and so are my DMs (are they called like that on tumblr? idk), just in case.

thank you for caring so much, it means a lot, i promise.

12 Day's Of Christmas

a Bakugo x F!Reader

series masterlist

Chapter 4: Winter Wonderland

Bakugo knew exactly where Y/N was. Anytime she was down she would go the market place in the middle of town. It was one of her favourite places, great people, knick knacks and during the holiday season, the BEST food. There she would chat up the vendors, and impulsively buy random things to make herself feel better. One time she bought 7 kitten plushies, one in each colour they had because she got a 68 on an exam, Bakugo always yelled at her about money management but when it came to cute stuff she she just couldn't resist.

Bakugo stepped out the apartment building and on his started his way.

He didn't like to admit it, but Christmas was one of his favourite time of year, all because of Y/N. He used to despise it, but he loved how happy it made her. It she was the jolliest piece of shit during this time, her smile would glistening like the snow on the all season. But not anymore, Bakugo noticed. Every time he's seen her she's been bummed or on edge, and just... not the Y/N he remembers. Bakugo thinks to himself as he walked the snow covered streets. He thinks back to their last Christmas together. fuck. He says to himself. Him coming back must be just as awkward and emotionally confusing for her as it is for him. Its as if he's ruining christmas for her. Bakugo thought. That's the last thing he wanted to do.

Meanwhile at the Market

"You know Inko, I don't get it" Y/N started. "After all those years he decides to come back NOW of all times. I think he knows exactly what he's doing, and it's not going to work." She complained to the small woman who was selling tea. Y/N came to her for all her problems. The day after the break up she came to the market and Inko offered her a free cup to make her feel better. This resulted in her balling her eyes out while she patted her back and told her everything was going to be okay. Y/N continued to ramble about her situation. "It's all too much. I thought this year would be better for me yknow-

"Sweetie..." Inko chimes in, but Y/N isn't paying attention.

"I was finally about to get over him-"

"Y/N hun-" She tries again.

"-He swoops back in with that pretty face of his- I mean especially yesterday-"

"Y/N" Inko whisper yells to her.

"What?" Y/N finally pauses. She sees Inko gesture her head forward, and Y/N whips her head around. She sees Bakugo standing behind her, holding out 2 cups of hot chocolate. "So you still think my face is pretty?". Y/N sighs and turns around. He pushes one of the cups out to her cheat encouraging her to take it, she grabs the cup with both her gloved hands. The warmth in her hands was a nice feeling. "What are you- Who told I was here?" She questioned him. "Kaminari." He says looking away. Y/N smiled softly i'm gonna beat his ass, she thought. A costumer came to the booth and the both of them moved out of the way so Inko actually do her job. The 2 slowly trailed away and started walking down the market. "The real question is why are you here. How your ankle?" He says looking over at it.

Y/N went home yesterday, iced it and put up for the night on a pillow she stole from Shinso's room. Its not like he slept on it anyways.

"Oh uh- I-its fine, just a little sore" She said, "It's wrapped see?" She pointed. "Good. Don't want you making it worse." Bakugo replies, slightly concerned. Aw. Y/N smiled. He cares.

"Y/N?" Bakugo snaps her out of whatever zone she was in.

Wtf is wrong with you?

She thought "S-So you asked for me? Why?" Y/N asked trying to hide her red face in her hood. "Well I..." Bakugo started. "Yesterday was, kind of a mess... I think we should just restart". He says. Y/N stops and turns to him "What do you mean?" She asks laughing nervously, tilting her head. Bakugos expression drops.

"Don't be an idiot" He says annoyed. "Wha-aha, you're the one whos not getting to the point!" Y/N replies. "Maybe you should let me finish." He says, his voice raising a bit.

"WELL?" Y/N raises her voice.

"WELL," He does the same.

"DO YOU WANT TO GO TO DINNER OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT?"

Y/N froze. Her face was getting redder by the second and it wasn't because of the hot chocolate. "I-I uh" She stutters. Bakugo softens his face realizing how tense you were. "Yknow what its fine-" Y/N cuts him off putting her hand on his shoulder. "Yeah" She says with a slight smile. "I mean when are we ever gonna see each other again right" She laughs nervously. Bakugo's eyes widen for a split second before he realized he was showing actual emotion. "Right... i'll text you. Seeya." He says before walking away.

Y/N realized she had to get going too, Mina would kill her if she wasn't back to watch 'Survivor' with her. Was this considered... a date? She thought. Her and Bakugo could still be friends right? One measly dinner and a bit of conversation isn't enough to make her magically garner feelings again, but it was... still a possibility.

A/N: Next chapter is also a bit on the shorter side but it's setting something good I promise 👀. Thanks for reading!
