from the vault pt2 🤍 kuwtb au’

"Haul time!" You squeak as you skip to the living room with the big box that you just got delivered a few minutes ago.

"What did you get, baby?" Your husband cranes his neck backward from the couch to catch you doing a happy dance with the big box covering your face. A small chuckle escapes his lips as he watches you make your way to him.

"Let me help you, that looks heavy as shit. Don't want you having back problems," Jungkook begins to stand up, only to be stopped when you drop the gigantic box in front of him on the carpet with a loud breath. "I got it, I'm independent," you click your tongue, dramatically flipping your ponytail to the side.

"Okay, not too much now," Jungkook shakes his head before reaching for your waist and pulling you on top of him in a swift motion. "Hey! I was going to show you my outfits," you giggle, pushing on his face with your left hand as he tries to pepper kisses on your face.

"You can show me later, but for now just let me love you," he mumbles into your collarbone before situating his head in between your boobs. His teeth graze the top of your tube top before trying to pull it down, making you squirm with a laugh-pushing him off.

"You took a long-ass nap, had me staring at the wall— bored, baby," Jungkook pouts, before cracking into a full-on smile. He runs a hand through his hair before putting it behind his head-his eyes trained on your flushed face while your fingers play with the seam of his T-shirt.

"Could've napped with me," you shrug, your fingertips slowly making their way under his shirt, slowly tracing his v-line.

"Yeah?" He smirks, his dimple popping out.

"Yeah. It was a good nap," you giggle before retrieving your hands from under his shirt and getting off his lap, making your way to the box full of clothes you had ordered online a couple of weeks back.

"Baby!" Jungkook whines as he watches you drop to your knees on the gray carpet in front of the box, ignoring him once again.

"Baby," you mock him; he playfully rolls his eyes at you.

Jungkook throws his head back in defeat before joining you on the floor with a happy sigh.

"Okay, gimme your haul, princess," Jungkook leans back onto the couch as he watches you open the box with your acrylics, like you always did. He takes notice of your mismatched socks, smiling to himself-your ass up in the air, as you look into the box, your light purple gym shorts hugging your curves perfectly.

"I got so many clothes it's actually insane," you say to your husband, who's watching you with hooded eyes.

"You still got space, nah?" Jungkook asks, talking about your walk-in closet, tilting his head to catch your eyes.

"Yup, I still have so much space," you pipe happily, opening the first bag. A small short sundress you forgot you had ordered stares back at you.

"That's cute, baby," Jungkook says, bobbing his head approvingly at the white lace sundress you're holding up.

"Cute, right? Should I model?" You wiggle your eyebrows, folding the dress into you. "Oh, for sure. I'll give ratings like that game we played with Jiho on Roblox," Jungkook closes his eyes, trying to remember the name of the game, snapping his fingers as if that's going to help him remember faster.

"Fashion Square?" He raises an eyebrow, the sly smirk on his face making you giggle at his attempt. "Fashion Famous," you correct him, biting your lip.

"Yeah, that," he smirks, with a final snap of his fingers.

"Can't believe the ugliest ones always win— when they’re not even on theme," Jungkook rolls his eyes, making you burst out laughing.

"Sassy Men Apocalypse got to you, Jeon," you tease, clenching your teeth and making a 'tsk' noise. "You are my biggest hater, I'm afraid," Jungkook shrugs before pulling you into him in a quick motion, catching you off guard.

"Baby, what? I'm literally in the 'I Heart Jeon Jungkook' club! And I have a shirt to prove it," you say, straddling him. The pout on your face makes him want to kiss it off.

You lean forward, dropping your head on his chest, looking up at him while he looks down at you.

He gives your left ass cheek a soft squeeze. "Oh, tell me more about this club. How many members are in it?" He taunts playfully.

"Around twenty," you reply nonchalantly, making his eyes widen in surprise.

"Really?" He questions, playing with your belly piercing.

"If all my personalities count, then yeah," you shrug.

“Leave some for me, fatty,” the raven-haired boy says, slapping Namjoon’s wrist when he tries to reach for a piece of chocolate cake that’s sitting in the middle of the counter—you just baked it.

Taehyung snickers. “You look like you’ve had enough cake for a year.”

“The fuck? For your information, I’ll let you know that it takes hours in the gym to look as good as I do,” Namjoon retorts, a dramatic roll of his eyes eliciting a laugh from the petite, curly-haired girl beside him— Ari.

“Hours with your head inside a fridge, that’s for sure,” Eunbi pipes in, inserting a bite of cake into her mouth before reaching for the cold glass of milk that your husband just served and taking a sip with a knowing smirk.

“Crazy,” Namjoon points his fork at everyone who just came at him.

Taehyung’s eyes are filled with amusement as he shrugs and lets out a chuckle. “Can’t take constructive criticism,” Jimin joins in, as you try to hide your laugh behind the fork in front of your mouth while your husband leans on you, his chin on your head, hearing everything.

“He’s not fat, guys, he’s just big-boned,” Jungkook inserts himself into the conversation, which has Namjoon’s head snapping to him. “You did not just call me big-boned,” he gasps, as Eunbi and Taehyung burst out laughing, giving each other high fives like they’re six in second grade.

“I’m trying to defend you!” Your husband raises his hands in defense as Lora shakes her head, digging into the cake, ignoring everyone.

“Yeah, but big-boned is crazy!” Joon gapes at Jungkook, who actually seems confused. “Personally, I wouldn’t let that slide,” Eunbi points her fork between Namjoon and Jungkook, trying to instigate.

“Why you out here being messy for?” Lora jokes, nudging the blonde to the side, making her giggle.

“What I actually meant to say is that you’re buff as fuck and they’re obviously jealous of you,” Jungkook explains before turning his attention to your best friend.

“Damn, blondie. Being my biggest opp even after I bought you the stupid ferret you wanted so much for your birthday,” Jungkook points his index finger at Eunbi, who gasps while chocolate cake is shoved into her mouth.

again. sorry for clogging your website time. this whole wuvvy & rue & hob conversation is sooooo messy in my head cuz like. Yup. everyone loves Plot Thing. and the only folks whose analysis and art and everything of it i enjoy and which make the gears in my head really turn are big haters (slash very complicated relationship) of Plot Thing. i nod to and understand every word. nothing made more sense. the problem is im head over heels for Plot Thing. what is even the move in this case. just try and save equestria.

I get this sort of sentiment a lot ('I love your art but I HATE your opinions/I hate what your opinions are doing to my brain'). I have very strong thoughts on plot points/themes since I pay close attention to them for art purposes. I also tend to keep to myself and draw what I want... I think at no point in my entire d20 watching history have my thoughts ever aligned with the mainstream fandom 😭😭😭

historically people have seen a lot of success dealing with this by either a) sending me hatemail [please don't] b) becoming my friend and assimilating with my thoughts [fun!] c) producing content of THEIR point of view. what I mean to say is if this is about you liking ruehob but you can't unsee the fact that ruehob is kind of built on cardboard foundations and wuvvy gets totally overlooked... you simply have to assimilate that into your own head and synthesize your own point of view. it's there and you can't IGNORE it but... who says you can't still be into it? maybe ruehob have a gutting realization 3 yrs in and then they have a serious discussion and they come out stronger and happier together for it. maybe they have terrible coping mechanisms and there's some sort of a plot event that forces them to work together more closely and rue discovers what love is to them for real. maybe wuvvy goes back to the court of hoof and claw and finds a lesbian situationship. I don't know! the world is your oyster, up to you to make pearls out of it. I'm just the grain of sand.

#naggingatlas #asks #acofaf spoilers #I also cannot jive with most people's acofaf interpretations. lol! because wuvvy is my favorite and everyone ignores wuvvy

Hey! I wanna get to know my Swiftie mutuals. Tell me your top 5 songs and albums from her. Feel free to go into depth/explain if you'd like!

hey!!! meowdy! ( yup, i read your bio and agree) nice to meet you! i'm sorry for all my lore but it is hard to talk about things i love without bringing personal matters with it. i feel like i can talk about taylor lyrics without trauma dumping so i am truly sorry for the things i wrote. but since you said you want to know your mutuals here i go!

TOP ALBUMS

1 - folklore: it is such an ethereal experience for me. i love how all the stories in it are connected in some way and the way she could create so many details for all the characters tbh i feel like i could have been any one of them and in some ways i am. i love how every song feels like summer rain, is comforting and vulnerable. i was the first album of her that i felt i could relate to 100%. is my all time favorite.

(now the positions after folklore vary depending of the day for me so i may change them later)

2 - the tortured poets department: i know is new and everyone is freaking out about it but for me that's one of the most honest pieces of music i have ever listen to it. i keep caught on all these debates about to whom she wrote it but is so stupid because these songs were never about anyone BUT taylor. she could have dated anyone and still wrote these masterpieces, it isn't about a man, it is about taylor swift. and she put SO MUCH of her heart in it that i can feel it. all that anger, all that pain, all that fear it all came from her. she is the artist. i know some critics say is easy to write 31 songs if they all look similar (haters gonna hate is so fucking true) but for me as an inspiring artist is a relief to know you can create different things about the same topic and don't feel ashamed about it. you can write about the same theme a thousand times and guess what? it can be a thousand times different because it will be a thousand different parts of yourself. everything about ttpd is so beautiful ( plus dead poets society references makes it perfect bc is my favorite movie)

3 - evermore: follows the folklore aesthetic and vibes. marjorie? champagne problems??? tolerate it???? Does she have a hidden camera in my backpack or something?

4 - speak now: i'm nineteen wtf she wrote something like THAT when she was nineteen?????? this album is so magical, It has some of the fantasy she later put on folklore and evermore but with more joy and cheerful melodies. listening to speak now is like opening my favorite book over and over. i wish i could be emma falling in love and i wish to live a timeless love and i wish i could sing long live with my friends/found family after winning a battle. i just love it all so much and never grown up? i listened to it when i was packing my things to move out of my hometown so you can imagine how much i relate to it. castles crumbling is also so close to my heart because i constantly feel i'm burning bridges and fucking things up. so yep all these fears of loneliness and failure goes present in this album goes deep .

5 - midnights: as a HUGE fan of the moon ( the moon is my true soulmate and i don't care if it "just a sattelite"or a "bunch of rocks and dust glued together" because guess what? i'm also a bunch of universal dust glued together) the whole celestial aesthetic of the album hits me like a train. all these confessions, these letters, these maniacal thoughts i have after the sun sets are not only mine. i love how she hugged me through these lyrics and showed me that everyone is haunted by ghosts after midnight. but the night time isn't just a place for nightmares, there is also hope, and joy and good dreams.

TOP SONGS

1 - mirrorball : since the first time i listened to it all i could think about is "someone finally sees me"

2 - the archer: she saw right through me. i am so scared of being seen because if someone sees me, if someone truly knows me it would hurt 1000 times more being rejected by them.

3 - you're on your own, kid: i lost all my friends after high school, literally no one of the fucking people i used to talk to every day and go to their houses and remember their birthdays. all of the people i used to open up to, the people i used to cry and laugh with just didn't reach out anymore and i know it is half my fault but it made me realize how truly alone i am as a human. It doesn't matter how much you connect with someone you are always on your own at the end of the day and she literally summarized that feeling in a fucking song.

4 - i can do it with a broken heart: because you still can be a mirrorball even when the ones you built the show for have left.

5 - the lakes: dead poets society vibes and i'm also a poet and i also want to run away.

6 - renegade: (you asked for 5 but here is a bonus track for you haha <3) i sing that song is a platonic way because it translates so much of my relationships with my friends and family. i sing along thinking about them and i know they could sing thinking about me because of trauma and miscommunication is such a top topic in all that.

#taylor swift #answering asks #<3

Unpopular Opinion : Frozen actually good and overratedhated

We must have heard this argument hundreds of times in disney fanclub forum. Yup, like this

Haha.. okay, I was hate this movie. As Big Hero 6 fans, I was annoyed with frozen hype instead BH6 in 2015. I always hit the like button for posts that say Baymax is better than Olaf. I also always agree with arguments that have the main goal of hating Frozen. No matter I actually disagree on several points, if it has frozen-hate in it, I always agree.

Some time later, my views began to change. I'm starting to realize that frozen actually good. Especially for the character development.

I can understand that they hate it because the hype is big or bored with Let It Go song. But the character development? no, its not!

Elsa. People say she's loser queen. Maybe yes. But actually Elsa is a symbol of depression. Her ice powers are a symbol of depression. Frozen is actually a movie about mental illness but it's more soft because this movie is for family friendly. The power of ice appeared because the negative emotions inside her were raging.

I'm sure the haters are the type of person who looks down on mental illness, unemphaty or never had depression.

So, why Elsa run away from Arendalle after mess it up? of course because she didn't know how to fix it. Is the haters watch the movie well? This argument is so doesn't makes sense.

and finally she was able to control her ice power again with love. This is exactly what psychologists suggest for people with depression. Against it with positive thinking.

The second is Anna. She has good development character too. Why is she so naive and wants to marry a man she just met? because she is lonely. Her parents died and all she had was an older sisterlocked up in her room. She didn't have any mentor to advise or rebuke her in her life. She was lonely and had no friends, that's why she was so happy when she met Hans. It's makes sense.

In the second movie, the character development is also good. She did not want to part with her sister even though her sister had assured her that she would be fine. Anna just doesn't want to be lonely or lost again.

When she lost olaf, she really felt down. She lost Elsa and Olaf for the second time and getting lonely again. All she does is do the little things that are right. Yup, The Next Right Thing. That's what psychologists advise if a person is at a low point. Do the little things that are right like tidy the room or clean up.

And Let It Go song. I can understand some people don't like the song or getting tired with it. But if you say the song has bad meaning, no it not!!

Let it go has a meaning that symbolizes someone's release from adversity and depression. This song at first glance like running away from problems. But not quite true. Just imagine you are at your lowest point, very sad, feel so bad, alone and no one is with you. and motivation comes. you are free and born as a new person, forgetting the days gone by, you are not the bad person you used to be.

I can understand people getting tired that frozen is disney favorite child, getting tired of Let It Go song, but if you say the character development is bad, I totally disagree.

Just saying the haters only one the perfect character and forget that humans have flaws that must be fixed.

the demon of the night (pt.8)

TW-blood play, cursing, sex talk, drugs

summary- a cook for Elvis comes to realize he is really more to what we know, he is something outta this world like a book or a fairytale.

I said “No problem” He smiled “Goodnight Elvis” I said opening my room door “Goodnight Y/n” He said, After my shower I had fell asleep “Y/n” I woke up to Kat hovering over me “Look!” She said holding up a ring “Is that real ?” I said “Yes! He gave it to me after you left” “Are you sure you want to get married?” I said “Yes! I like him a lot” She said “Like and loving our two different things you are about to marry this man” I said trying to explain why it isn’t a good idea “Stop being a hater just let me live! I even get to come to Memphis with y’all!” “When are we going back ?” I said “Next week then we’re getting married the week after” She said that means Elvis is going to booked and busy so I am “ I have some sleep I have to be up early tomorrow” I said pulling the covers of my head

I woke pretty early Kat was asleep I didn’t have to start work till 8 I had a hour to get ready so I went to the lobby to eat, as I was walking out my room Kat had woken up “Off to work this early ?” She said “Yup Elvis has a show today and I’m covering for the maid” I said “I’ll see you later then” She said “See you later” I said walking out, I went to get the cleaning cart and headed to the penthouse I opened the two doors of the penthouse and started to clean I took out the trash that was in the guest bathroom first then started to clean the room, I had finished the living room I knocked on Elvis’s door nobody answered so I opened it he wasn’t here I started to clean his room, it was still pretty early as I was leaving the penthouse I ran into Jerry “Yea Elvis had a doctor appointment he should be back soon” He said “Oh tell him everything is clean! See you around” I went back to the kitchen cleaning up a bit, I went to the lobby to eat lunch to see Kat and Elvis along with Jerry sitting at a table “Hey guys” I said “Hey” Kat said I sat down “How’s work going?” She asked “Not to bad for now” I said

“Well get in a good mood today because we’re going shopping for my wedding dress!” I couldn’t support this marriage it’s too soon and I’d be damned if I let my only friend here get hurt over a man like Jerry he even said himself Elvis and his whole mafia guys have lots of women around I couldn’t let her be one of em no matter who I lose in the process including Elvis, I looked and her with disgust “Do you have to drag me along with you ?” I said “Of course I need opinions” She said then she turn to Jerry whispered something to him “Elvis! You wouldn’t mind seeing me naked ? Right” She giggles I felt my blood boil “What!” He said looking at me “You wouldn’t mind right ?” She asked again “Yea I mind I gotta women!” He said

“Who it can’t be Y/n” Jerry said “You know what! I’m done with the conversation” I said “I’ll see you later Elvis” I said getting up “Look what you to idiots did” He said as I walked off

Shortly after I got to my room I heard a knock at the door I opened it to Elvis “Sorry about Jerry he is a idiot ” He said “No it’s not just Jerry it’s my own friend” I said letting him in now sitting on the bed “Just ignore them both only trying to get in your head like I’ve said before” He spoke softly he knew I was upset “I know I know it’s just so upsetting to me how she’s marrying this man” I said “You can’t talk her out of it you know she’s too naive” “Well I won’t stop trying till she doesn’t want to marry him I can get my ways!” And I was speaking complete facts I wasn’t letting this go! “And if I lose my friendship with you because this I swear I’m quitting my job!” Elvis look at me with surprise “Quit your job! You don’t think you’re going to far? With this I know Jerry isn’t the best man in the world but I respect your decision” I nod in agreement “I just need a couple of hours to get my head right again now if you don’t mind leaving me alone” I said kindly “I don’t mind! I’ll see you later honey” He spoke softly again kissing me on the cheek, I was alone and needed to call my mom I updated her on the things that had happened lately and she wanted to see me again before I go back to Memphis so I had left the hotel for a while… “So you and Elvis?” She asked as she poured me a cup of Lemonade “I mean we’ve hung out but never really got to sexual we’d just stop in between I guess” I said trying to find the words to explain to her “Well it seems to me he likes you remember in the beginning he treated you like crap that’s how men work something in their silly brains” She explained “I never thought about it that way” I said “Sometimes you have to think like a man just don’t be one you know” I nod after a few hours my mom had dropped me off at the hotel “Well until next Luna” She said giving me a hug “Until next time love you” I said getting out the car, I walked in the room seeing Kat crying “What’s wrong ?” I asked “I’m just overwhelmed with this I’m sorry for the way I treated you this morning I don’t want you to hate me” She said “I don’t hate you but the way you acted did upset me a little because you know how I feel about the situation” I said “So we’re good ?” She asked “Yes Kat we’re good” I said “Where’d you run off to” She said “Went to see my mom for a while she taught me the way of men I guess” I chuckled to myself The day nearly went by in a flash Kat had went out with Jerry I stayed in and went down to the lobby for dinner going to my usual spot “Eating all alone ?” I heard Elvis say “Hey! I didn’t know if you were still here” I said “Yeah don’t plan on doing anything tonight” He said as he sat down “I went to see my mom today and she told me some great advice” He smiled “And what did she say?” He said “Advice on you and I” I said taking a bite from my food “Like? Don’t leave me hanging here honey!”

“If I should date you or not” I said “We haven’t got that far yet taking it slow as promised” He said “I know! And I’m excited for us” I said “Me as well” He said taking a bite from his food, After dinner “You tired at all?” I asked “I could take a nap” He said “I’d like to join you if you don’t mind” I said “I don’t mind” He said, We got to the penthouse and crashed I woken up to the sound of Kat and Jerry’s voice I turned over Elvis was still asleep I got up “What are you two doing ?” I asked “Joining the sleepover silly” Kat said I could tell by the tone in her voice she was drunk “Your drunk?” I said “Only have a few drinks it’s been a while okay jeez” She said “Let’s get you to bed bae” Jerry said carrying her to the guest room “Night Luna” Kat said giggling as they faded away into the room I turned off the lights in the penthouse and went back into the room with Elvis he was awake “Didn’t know they were staying the night” He chuckled “Neither did I” I said climbing into the bed with him “I’m exhausted still” I said “Me to let’s get some rest” He said I pulled the blanket over me and turned facing him “Hopefully she doesn’t end up pregnant” I said “Hope not that would be a handful to deal with” He said “Well for Jerry anyway” I said “Why are you so far ?” He asked I was only a few inches away from him “Do you want to cuddle?” I asked “Yes” He said I scooted closer to him my arms were wrapped into his lower back as my head laid on his chest I felt his large hands on my back pulled me closer as he kissed my forehead “Goodnight Luna” He said softly….

I had woken up in the dark I was left alone in the bed I heard the shower running I got up from the bed tripping over my foot “Luna? you’re awake” I heard Elvis say “I am” I shouted back I turned to the clock it was 11 am still a bit early “I’ll be out in a second” He yelled back “Are you hungry? I could make breakfast for everyone” “I could eat” He said, I rushed to the kitchen looking for something to eat just enough bacon and eggs left in the fridge to make, I had made breakfast for everyone sitting the table I had turned on some music “Bang Bang” By Nancy Sinatra and started to sing along “I am shocked” Elvis said “Shocked? why” i asked “Didn’t know you could sing” He said “I can when I want to” I said as I looked at him “I’m just in shock” He said while sitting down at the table “The food looks great” He said “I appreciate it, would you like something to drink ?” I asked “Coffee” He said I went to the kitchen to make coffee for both of us “Here you go” I said while sitting next to him “I knew I smelled food” Kat said “Come and eat” I said “You sure I don’t want to interrupt anything here” She said “You aren’t interrupting anything” I said “Just sit down and eat” Elvis said “I was just making sure” Kat said “Isn’t it our last night here?” I asked “We head back tonight” Elvis said, We finished eating breakfast I had left to go pack for tonight and cleaned up the room and Kat had came in “Wanna go to the nail salon with me?” She asked “Sure when?” I said “In a hour or so!” She said, I got dressed for the day I met Kat in the lobby with Jerry “Finally, I’ve been been waiting on you for 20 hours” She said “I didn’t even take that long” I said, We headed out for the nail salon “What color are you getting” She said “I don’t know yet” I said looking at the book “Let’s match, I was thinking white” She said “White is fine with me” I said We both got matching toes and fingers “I’ll pay for yours” She said “You don’t have to” I said she pulled out her wallet “Where’d you get all that money from?” I asked “My fiancé” She said with a smile “Oh lord” I said “Do not bring negativity over here I’m being nice” She said “I didn’t even- “Hush it and let me pay for once” She said, We went back to the hotel Kat had went Jerry to the penthouse I stayed back I needed some time to myself before the flight. Well it was night, And Elvis wanted me to make one more meal before we got home I was happy to go home I’ve been here to long, I cooked the meal for everybody now making my way to the penthouse, I walked in to see a full house luckily I made enough the table was surprisingly set I left the food cart then Elvis appeared “Hey, uh you are more welcomed to stay for dinner” He said with a smile “Oh no, I gotta get back to the kitchen to clean before we go” I said “Well, I’ll make sure you have a plate see you around then the flight leaves at 12” He said “See you around” I said I could tell from his response he thought I was avoiding him but I was ready to leave this place it felt like I was going crazy. I cleaned up the kitchen and returned my keys and turned off the kitchen light for the last time then he appeared once again “I just wanted to check in” He said “You almost gave me a heart attack” I said “I scared you wow I’m surprised” He said with a chuckle “Well yea I thought I was the only one down here” I said “But I’m fine I’d tell you if something was wrong” I said “Is it about Kat?” He asked damnit he would see right through me “A little I don’t know what to do when we get back at the nail salon today she pulled out her wallet and have tons of money I feel like she’s changing into this person I don’t recognize” I said “You’ll know what to do in the moment, she might realize sooner or later getting married was a semi bad thing especially if it’s with the right person” Elvis said “That’s true, but I just miss home other then that” I said, Elvis and I went our different ways until it was time to catch the flight.

I sat in the back away from everyone now reading a book about nonsense but I was beyond bored but I kept my sanity, after a couple of hours I was exhausted so I moved to the couch falling asleep. A couple of days later I ended up back at home Kat and I talked less and less she was busy wandering the streets with Jerry all night but I held up my peace I had told Kelly everything like everything about what had happened in Vegas and I was hurt by the way Kat just dumped me, As I turned the corner to my apartment I saw a letter at my front door I picked up and took inside “Kelly is this yours ?” I said “What is it ?” She asked “A letter I think”

I opened it “An invitation to our wedding Kat and Jerry on the 23rd” It said “The wedding? She’s actually doing it” Kelly said “I guess so” I said “That’s bullshit” She said at the end of the letter it said bring a friend”, “I don’t wanna go to that shit” Kelly said “If I go you are going with me I don’t wanna go alone” I said “I don’t like that fake bitch, you’ve been nothing but nice to her, since she’s been here she hasn’t called nor has Elvis” She said “Elvis is a busy man I’m sure he’ll come around” She said “Lies, I had a bad feeling about this since the first time you called I knew it” She said “You probably were a booty call” She said I thought Elvis and I connected from honest “Maybe I don’t know, but that’s in two days” I said “Bullshit!” Kelly said if I don’t go I’d feel bad guessing I’d just put aside my pride this last time and If she gets hurt I’d tell her how I feel once again. A day later I was stuck back at Graceland, Macy was already a pain in the ass “Just let me do it” She would say constantly I was over this shit and her I went on my break then I saw Kat and Jerry walk up to the door were I was “Well hey! I haven’t seen you since we got off the plane” She said “Because you haven’t called” I said with tone “Wow relax I was gonna call you today” She said “Baby I’m gonna go check on e” Jerry said “Yeah go do that” I said as he walked away “What the hell is your damn problem?” She said “Everything is just bullshit” I said “Is me ever since I told you I’m get married it’s always a damn problem or comment” She said “I could careless about you getting married that’s on you! Everything isn’t always about you.” I said letting the pride go “I don’t make it about me!” She said “Yes you do! All the time but I kept my peace because I thought you were my friend but I guess that’s over with” I said “We still are friends!” She said “Seems to me like we aren’t” I said “Because I didn’t call ? I’ve been busy busting my ass for my damn wedding” She said “Even before then you barely talked to me, but it’s whatever I don’t care about this or this damn wedding” I said “If you don’t care then why come huh tell me?” She said “Because I’m being a real friend who can put their differences aside to support a friend” I said “He loves me okay and I love him it shouldn’t matter to you” She said “Listen if he hurts you I promise I will stop being your friend and remind you everyday that I was right” I said “Stop being a bitch” she rolled her eyes “I feel like you used me Kat and I fell for it because I needed a friend so after this wedding things are changing” I said “Fine whatever you want” She said walking away, I took a long walk around the garden I had started to smoke cigarettes to escape my feelings now.

It was the day of the wedding still haven’t got a call from Kat no apology nothing I haven’t got a call from Elvis as well, but once again I sucked it all up and Kelly and I went to the wedding “If the vibes here aren’t it we are leaving” Kelly said “Fine with me” I said, We pulled into Graceland guest and fans outside the house many people I haven’t seen before came, The wedding didn’t start for another hour so we had time “I found the bar let’s go get a drink”

Kelly said we noticed the bar was unlimited then Sonny had came up “Hey, Kat asked to see you” I turned around then I looked at Kelly “Go on I’ll be right here” She said “Well okay” I said, I followed Sonny through the house, I went into the room and closed the door “Hey” Kat said “Hi” I said “I wanted to apologize for the way I acted the other day and what I said and you are always right with your words I truly am sorry” She said I could tell she meant some of it “I’m over that shit, the drinks out there are strong” I said “So we’re okay ?” She asked “Good! You look very pretty by the way” I said “Thank you, I’m about to shit bricks I’m so nervous” She said “You’ll be fine like you always tell me Jerry will love it” I said “I wanted you to be my bride mate” She said “Seriously woah” I said “Yes! You deserve that more then anyone you are my closest friend and the best” She said “Well hell let’s do this” I said “Be up there 10 mins before it starts okay remember that! and you hold the rings”

She said “I’m sure I’ll remember, finish getting ready” I said I said leaving the room, I made it back by the bar with Kelly “How’d it go all good?” She asked “Yea, um I’m the fucking bride mate” I said “Oh hell that’s a big role no more drinking for you” She said “No I need a drink for this shit I can’t be sober just a little buzz” I said finishing the drink I had “That’s all?” She asked “Well she apologized felt genuine so it’s alright I guess still won’t forget that bullshit tho” I said “You didn’t see Elvis at all?” She asked “No I don’t know where he is I didn’t ask” I said “Why not ? He hasn’t called as well” She said “I didn’t wanna make it seem like I only came to see him” I said “Now that’s some bullshit” She said while hitting my arm, The wedding started in 13 minutes and l was beyond fucked I had to sober up first I got up “I look fine right ?” I asked Kelly “Yea I can’t tell” She said “Okay okay shit I’m nervous” I said “Why! Just stand there and act like your normal self you’ll be fine go on I gotta find a seat” She said getting up “Am I supposed to walk with someone I forgot” I said “Yeah the best man” She said “Guessing it’s Elvis” I said, “Hey follow me” The planner had said I had followed her into this room besides the house and I saw Elvis and two little girls and Kat’s father “So you’ll be walking down the aisle with Elvis since you are the bride mate” if I wasn’t drunk right now I’d flip but it was cool I guess

“This is a big day for the couple so truly don’t fuck it up” The planner said “We won’t” Elvis said, The wedding started Elvis and I had to walk down the aisle I look for Kelly I saw her sitting in the second row, As the music played as we walked I felt like bursting out in tears for some odd reason but I kept my sanity as we were about to part ways “You look very beautiful” Elvis whispered “Thank you” I said, Jerry had appeared I could tell he was batshit nervous I had grabbed the rings from the stand I gave Elvis the ring for Kat, Kat and her father walked down the aisle she was very beautiful in her dress, The wedding was beautiful I can say that now “Thank you luna for coming” Kat said giving me hug “It’s no problem” I said, “The after party will have tons of alcohol by the way so stay please” She said “I will” I said she gave me the address to the place.

“So what are your thoughts on the wedding” Kelly said “It was beautiful honestly wasn’t expecting it that but I was a little sad” I said “Why ?” She asked “Elvis and I walked down the aisle and I got this gut feeling I don’t know doesn’t matter” I said “You wish it was you getting married” She said “Kinda yea but it’s fine I’m okay” I said, We met up with everyone at the party Kelly had noticed Elvis had brought a date to the event “Oh what the fuck” She said “That’s bullshit right there” I said I’ve had a few shots to really care about everything for right now “Hey, come with me for a moment” Kat said I followed her “What’s up with you and Elvis?” She asked “I don’t know I haven’t really talked to him much” I said “Well I think that’s messed up to bring a random person to my wedding and messed for you as well after he said all that shit to you I will talk to Jerry about that” She said “Don’t stress yourself over this, I’m sure he has a reason why” I said “No no he made it clear that he is just like what the people say about him” She said “Kat, please enjoy your wedding I am fine okay I wouldn’t lie” I said she gave me a hug she probably felt bad but I was okay I couldn’t do anything about it “I want you to have fun with me like before all the bullshit” She said “Let’s go drink more then dance” I said, and we did just that I was fucked once again nearly couldn’t walk “I need to go take a break” I said “Where’s the bathroom” I said “Out the door to your right” Kat said I made my way out the party into the hallway trying to catch myself “I think you’ve had enough to drink” I heard Elvis say I turned “Don’t tell me what to do I’m fine” I said “From the looks of it you don’t look fine” He said “I’m fine just go away” I said walking into the bathroom I sat on the sink for a moment I finally caught my breath and I left the bathroom and there he was resting by the wall “Didn’t I say go away?” I said “You did but I’m not listening to you” He said “I’ve gotta go back in there so” I said heading to the door as he pulled me into him I was over this “Let me go” I said “What’s wrong? You can always talk to me” He said “Nothing is wrong I’m fine” I said “I saw how you reacted to the wedding” He said damnit once again

“How’d I react? Tell me” I said “Like you wished it was you” He said “I only thought about for a second then I realized I won’t get married because nobody wants to marry me ” I said I was trying to avoid eye contact “I do” He said “You don’t mean that, I gotta go” I said once again “Move in with me” He said I was flabbergasted “I don’t know- I don’t know” I said “I’ve already paid off your apartment I just didn’t tell you yet” He said “Why’d you do that” I said “Because I love you” He said “That’s a big word to say” I said “It’s true I’ve loved you since the first time I met you I fell in love with you” He said “I feel the same but I just want it to be true I want this to be a real thing I don’t want to end up hurt” I said “You won’t baby, I promise” He said “Can I think about it” I said giving in once again, “Of course you can, I’m not forcing you I just wanna be with you” He said everything he would say to me would stick with me he made it so easy to say yes but this is a big step to make let alone we aren’t a thing yet

“I’ve gotta get back now” I said “I understand, enjoy the party luna” He said with that one smile it could make anyone head over heels for him I enjoyed the rest of the party with Kelly and Kat, “So what he’d say out there?” Kelly asked as she unlocked the car door “Asked if i wanted to move in” I said “What the hell did you say?” She asked “I said I need time to think I don’t wanna move in and not like it I just like my personal space” I said “Explain that to him, don’t lead him on” She said “I’m not leading him on!” I said “Just be smart with your choice okay I don’t wanna see you hurt again” Kelly said

“I’ll take time to think about it when i’m in right mind.” I said, The weekend went by fast and I went to home I still haven’t mind up my mind yet with moving here yet I wasn’t sure if I wanted to give up my personal space “Can you give this to Elvis it’s mail” Macy said “Um- sure” I said I went upstairs to give him the mail “Come in” He said I opened the door and he was surprised to see it was me “Um- here’s your mail” I placed it on his nightstand trying to avoid him as I was walking away he grabbed my arm “You didn’t answer my calls” He said looking at me “I’ve been pretty busy” I lied

“You didn’t make up your mind haven’t you” He said “No I haven’t i’m just confused, hopefully you understand” I said “I understand” He said once again “I have to get back” I said “I have one more thing to say, ever since we left vegas what happened to the love we once shared ?” He asked “The love is there I’m just confused at the moment and don’t go blaming yourself for it” I said “If you want me to back off I’d understand that’s all you have to say” He said “I didn’t say that I just don’t wanna rush things with you like we’ve talked about before” I said, After that horrible conversation with Elvis I wanted to bury my head in sand “Elvis called you up again” My coworker said I went upstairs once again “Yes?” I said “Let me take you out tonight” He said I sighed “Fine, where?” I said “We could get a nice dinner and might see a movie if your up to it”

“Sure, and don’t be late or i will cancel on you” He chuckled “I know the old you was back in there somewhere” He said “I guess so, pick me up at 7” I said while leaving his room, I got home around 5 I had just enough time to get ready for the date, I put on my dresses I brought before leaving vegas”

And as promised my phone rung ten minutes before 7 I knew it was Elvis as I was leaving I made my way to Kelly’s room “Have fun, you look stunning by the way” She said “Thank you, I’m sure I’ll have a good time” I said “Don’t get pregnant or any of that” She said laughing “I won’t not yet at least” I said, I went downstairs. Elvis had drove his Rolls-Royce it was nice he got out opening the door for me “You look lovely tonight” He said with a smile “Thank you” I said smiling back at him, I was in my own head once again I truly did have a thing for this man but I didn’t want to get hurt but he proved a point paying the rest of my debt but money can’t by happiness but I held my peace I will try to give him a chance, We got to the restaurant Elvis wanted to make a appearance “Are you sure we’re safe here?” I asked “We should be fine I got us a booth in the back doubt anyone would noticed”, We got inside making small talk I guess till our food came out. “So, I heard your roommate isn’t much of a fan of me” He said clearing the table

(what do you guys thinks that’s gonna happen next? will Luna get with Elvis)

Chapter 7 opens with Lucy's funeral. Mina and Arthur comfort Lucy's mom. Mina sees many people she doesn't know, until! Jonathan!! They go for a walk, where Mina tells Jonathan about Lucy's sudden illness, and Jonathan tells Mina about all that happened to him. Also he escaped because Skinski is weak as shit so he pushed him and ran for his life.

Mina and Jonathan both thought they lost their mind, but thanks to the power of communication, they know they didn't!

Back to the Westenra's domain, Arthur is alone tk comfort Lucy's mom. Arthur wants to see Lucy at the cemetery, Lucy's mom doesn't, so Mina stays with her there, Jonathan and Arthur going to visit Lucy.

At the cemetery they see a non human looking woman, and Jonathan recognizes something similar to Darc, so he throws stones at it, without success. Arthur calls him, the creature was feeding on Swales! Swales is like "don't save me, I'm gonna die. Know this: there's a new vampire at Whitby, and young ladies in age to be wed? He doesn't kill them, no, he turns them into vampires too! Poor miss Lucy...that was her right now btw." Swales dies to close this chapter.

Chapter 8, Arthur recognizes he messed up in refusing to accept Lucy was sick.

The trio goes to the cemetery, and they see Seward who took out of the tomb Lucy's casket. Seward can't believe it, that Van Helsing guy was right about vampires. He opens the coffin so they can check, and yup, Lucy's a vampire. Seward says the book Van Helsing wrote gave a way to fix the vampire problem: pierce the heart with a knife rubbed in garlic. Arthur is like "I'll do it" and the scene is awful to watch for everyone. It works. Lucy is saved, Mina faints. Arthur tells goodbye to Lucy, meanwhile Seward goes to help Jonathan with Mina, who is.. convulsing. Jonathan is like "Oh god that was too much for her!" Seward is like "No wait let me check her neck... ok there's nothing" Mina is like "Actually it's been two days I've been growing weak and having nightmares that shows me things that both disgusts and attracts me. I'm fighting against something I don't know..."

So Mina was bitten, but Drac was sneakier that time, biting at her skull, in her hair. Garlic hurts her. Mina doesn't need explanation to understand what happened.

In chapter 9, the group goes to fight against Dracula in his Whitby home. The boys want Mina to go back to Whitby, Mina says "no fuck you I'm coming too. It'll be easy, right? It's day and we know how to kill that bitch, let's go".

Unfortunately, night falls. Jonathan is goad that Mina is with them, at least. I mean, imagine letting her alone and out of the loop when there's a predator who'd like to attack her, amaright?

Arthur makes the plan: they'll find Dracula, and all four will jump on him. In the stairway, Jonathan stays behind, having an idea in mind. He knocks on the door behind which Drac obviously is, and Drac opens it, acting as if nothing happened.

Jonathan in fact did not have a plan, he just wanted to be a lil hater in Dracula's face. Dracula laughs, asking if Jonathan is aware that he's deep in the shit now, and Jonathan claims his love for Mina. He's all "You won't bring Mina to your hell, I'd rather die! And even if you couldn't be deserving of it, Mina and I would." Basically "You were so shitty death didn't want you, but Mina and I would stay dead because we're better than you". Dracula laughs, and makes an offer to Jonathan: they'll go together at the top of the castle, and jump; Dracula will catch Jonathan and brings him down to Mina, leaving her alone, and in return, Jonathan will never tell a soul about the vampire thing. Jonathan smells bullshit, that's just a bad trap, but accepts it, because he realised that it's an opportunity to kill Dracula. Indeed, at the top of the stairs, Arthur jumps on Dracula... and Dracula blocks him. A short fight happens, where all three guys are easily beaten, and Dracula catches Jonathan, ready to throws him in the void... but he gets stabbed, release Jonathan, and HE falls to the void. Mina killed him.

She and Jonathan confesses, the end.

just a bit of a vent

i am tired of people ignoring my pinned post

i don't have a 'DNI' list, i don't have any specific standards that i force people to adhere to before they follow me (other than not being a racist or a terf, etc., but that's not something i feel the need to warn anyone about...i just block those people)

i have ONE warning, which is that i seriously, SERIOUSLY don't like ig/no/ct. i even have a full explanation as to why (which i actually don't even owe anyone, but regardless) so it's clear i'm not just being a 'hater' or trying to create ship drama, or whatever.

i have actual, canon-backed reasons why that ship makes me feel viscerally ill, and ALL i ask is that people be respectful of that. it is the ONLY thing i ask my mutuals to tag, and it is the ONLY fandom-related content that i ALWAYS block on sight.

to follow this blog is to do so with the understanding that the person who runs it (me) deeply hates that ship.

and you know what? i'm not about to start ship-bashing in the tags or instigating arguments with anyone or anything like that, but if i wanna get a little opinionated on my own blog? in my own space? where it's not gonna pop up in the general search and ruin someone's day? that's my right, and i'm going to.

yup. i can get pretty negative about it at times. but do you know what else is negative? the fact that people don't tag their ship art. the fact that ig/no/ct blogs still try and follow me. the fact that i make every attempt to curate my experience to the best of my ability, and i STILL regularly have to stumble across content that genuinely upsets me because people do not bother to properly use tags or to read my pinned post before following me.

if you don't read my pinned post and then get upset because i called ig/no/ct stepcest, well, that's on you. that is not my problem. get off my blog if it upsets you so much, the whole point of a pinned post is that it will always be read FIRST.

as much as i don't like seeing upsetting content, i'm also not trying to upset anyone else, and the warning in my pinned post is my attempt at that. it's not just there for my protection, it's there for everyone else's too. if you don't want your feelings hurt, don't follow someone who hates your OTP. it's really very simple.

ngl. while i feel for lindsay ellis and do believe this mass harassment was deeply traumatic, i find it hard to find sympathy for her or her group of youtubers. not because of things they did "wrong" so to speak but because they themselves were perfectly fine retweeting or reblogging posts and screenshots of "cringey people" for their audiences of rabid dogs to mock, or dismissed harassment of small creators who'd get called out for "fandom drama" and sometimes made it their video fodder.

and idk, i find it really angering that these conversations and sympathy about internet harassment only happen when a "respectable" person is at the receiving end, one who actually has a social and financial safety net to cushion the blow and thousands of fans to yell at anyone criticizing them. meanwhile i have friends who have lost their livelihoods due to "fandom drama" or who received thousands of hateful comments for having comments taken out of context. these big creators never cared.

Yup.

That's the big picture here, and even the more clear-sighted breadtuber types weighing in about Ellis never seem to grasp it. It's exceedingly annoying.

The thing we most need is ways to get paid that are less vulnerable to haters starting campaigns. That is what would help your friends. I'm not sure how we get there though. Paypal's near monopoly and what Mastercard did to OnlyFans are a couple of the biggest issues. Amazon being just about the only platform for certain kinds of content and other webnovel platforms sucking ass are also big issues.

More broadly still, a lot of countries, the US being the most obvious, need a better security net for everyone. Fandom nonsense attacking the livelihood would be a much smaller problem if we had fucking health care that was actually functional.

Purim: a Jewish holiday and wild ride from start to finish

So let me tell you about the absolute soap opera that is the Jewish holiday of Purim. The scene is set in ancient (appx. 4th century B.C.E.) Persia during the first Jewish Diaspora, in the city of Shushan (typically identified in secular sources as Susa, a now-abandoned ancient city in what is now Iran). I’m telling you, as a work of literature (even beyond theological implications for Jewish people), this book has everything: love, drama, royalty, intrigue, ego, plots, irony, mystery, and a strong female lead.

[some non-slur swearing below]

Ahasuerus, party-loving king of Persia executed or exiled (translations argue) his wife Vashti, and had to find a new queen. Why did he do this, you ask? Well, it really starts with an 180-day party across his kingdom for all his subjects to celebrate the third year of his reign. After that absolute rager, party-bro KA has another one immediately after for a week, this time just for the capital city of Shushan. Vashti was having a woman’s party in her quarters, presumably living her best life, when party-bro sends his top seven yes-men to deliver a message to Vashti. This sleaze-ball wants her to appear at his party in front of everyone, wearing her crown, with the clear implication being only her crown. Vashti more or less tells him to pound sand (I mean, not the literal translation, but that’s the sentiment).

KA’s advisors convince him that this is not only an offense against the king but also against all the men in the country (ah, the joys of ancient patriarchy and toxic af masculinity). KA writes a degree that women must respect their husbands so he has an official reason to get rid of Vashti. Vashti is soon thereafter out of the picture and the king is short a queen. Whether she was a Wise Lady With A Point Who Got Screwed Over or a Vicious Jew-Hating Adulteress Who Had It Coming has been a matter of furious debate for over two millennia (the Babylonian Talmud and the Jerusalem Talmud vociferously disagree on her). In any case, KA regrets it pretty quick and wants a new queen.

At the behest of his advisors (you know, since their last advice worked out soooooo well), KA had a big contest/forcible gathering of young women from around his kingdom and a Jewish woman, Hadassah, was the winner. Hadassah was an orphan raised by her cousin Mordechai in the city of Shushan. Hadassah is more commonly known as Esther, because she changed her name to hide her identity as a Jew (at the behest of Mordechai). In any case, KA decided he liked Esther best and she became queen (it’s specifically mentioned both that he loved her most and that the palace staff liked her because she was nice to them-it’s unclear how much of an influence the latter was).

Concurrently, a wicked man named Haman was the top advisor to the king and the king would basically rubber-stamp whatever Haman wanted. Haman was a raging Jew-hater-this will be relevant later.

Some time into Esther’s reign as queen, Mordechai, who has taken to hanging around the gates of the palace to keep in touch with Esther, overhears a plot by two guards, Bigthan and Teresh, to kill the king. Mordechai alerts his cousin, and she tells the king. It’s recorded in the book of deeds and life keeps moving.

Some time later, Haman decides (after a promotion to head lackey) that he wants all to bow to him as he passes. Mordechai refused to bow to Haman every single day (citing that as a Jew he bowed to no man), and that did not sit well with Haman. So despite being prime minister and presumably having more important things to do, “genocide the Jews” made it to the top of to-do list. He didn’t like them before, and Mordechai refusing to treat him like a special snowflake was something he took really, really personally (totally can’t think of any modern politicians like that, nope). He told KA, who frankly doesn’t seem to ask enough questions, that there was a people disrespecting the king and his laws throughout the land, and could he pretty-please exterminate them. As a bonus, Haman would “donate” 10,000 silver kikar to the royal treasury (modern conversion vary, but all agree this an absurd amount on money).

KA handed him the royal seal to do so. Haman was feeling lucky I guess so he decided the best course of action was to draw lots to pick the day for the massacre. [Purim is lots in Hebrew, so that’s where the name of the holiday came from]. The message went out to all the provinces that on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, that they citizens and leaders should murder all of the Jews, young and old, man, woman, and child, rich and poor and take their possessions as spoils.

As this wasn’t exactly a state secret, the Jews knew and were quite distressed. The planned slaughter was like a year out, but what the actual fuck were they supposed to do? If you lived in Persia at that point that, the empire was functionally your entire world, unless you were fabulously/ridiculously wealthy and well-connected. Having several months notice the other locals and your rules were going to slaughter you and take your stuff isn’t particularly useful when there’s really nowhere to go.

In Shushan, Mordechai (who, although not explicitly in text, is in oral/Talmudic tradition a leader of the Jewish community) goes into mourning. He dresses in sackcloth and ashes, he weeps, and he fasts at the gates of the palace, as Jews throughout shushan and the kingdom are doing. Esther hears of her cousin’s mourning behavior and tries to send along nice clothes through a messenger, which he refuses. It is then that she learns of the decree. Mordechai (through the messenger) implores her to go ask the king if the Jews not getting murdered could be a thing. Esther explains that she could be killed for approaching the king unsummoned. Mordechai stresses the severity of the situation. Esther agrees to ask the king and tells Mordechai to have the Shushan Jewish community fast day and night (as opposed to just day as prior) for three days, and she and her handmaidens will fast too (no word on what the handmaidens thought of this).

On the third day, Esther bravely approached the king, asked him if she could request something. He said anything, up to half his kingdom (which implies to me that homedude, for all his flaws, was actually into her). Esther invited him to a party, where he and Haman would be the only guests. At the party she asks if she can another request. KA is open to it and she invites him to another party the next night. Party-bro king is obviously down and Haman is tickled to death at this second invitation.

He goes home to brag to his wife, Zeresh, about the invite and also to bitch about how angsty he is Mordechai is still alive (this angst reignited by passing him on the way home). Zeresh suggests he have fifty-foot gallows built to make Mordechai an example on, with the king’s permission, ASAP. Haman orders the building of the gallows, feeling secure in the knowledge that his bestie the king will execute Mordechai on them.

Back at the castle KA can’t sleep. He demands a bedtime story from the his records, because those will presumably put him to sleep. The story that gets read, ~coincidentally~, is of Mordechai saving KA’s life. Haman had sidled on up to the castle to speak to the king about killing Mordechai, and the king called him in. KA asks Haman, if he were to honor someone, what should he do? Haman is thinking “this is obvi about me” and tells the king that the honoree should be donned in royal clothing, and ride through the streets on a fancy horse with people someone shouting how great he is. KA is like great, love it, perf, go do that for Mordechai. Haman is not a happy camper but does the thing. After that, he goes home and tells Zeresh about it, who warns him that this is a very bad sign.

Finally, that night is the night of Esther’s second soiree. Haman and KA attend. The latter offers to Esther anything she wants, up to half of his kingdom. Esther asks that her life, and the life of her people be spared. KA is like “whomst” and Esther revealed it was Haman. At this point Ahasuerus.exe stops working and he takes a walk to the gardens. He comes back to see Haman begging Esther for his life, and KA thinks Haman is assaulting her. Haman was seized by nearby guards.

One of the chamberlains is then like, hey, KA, coincidentally there’s these super high gallows Haman just had built. Why not take care of the problem that way? (The fact that the random nearby chamberlain was like yup, that dude, hang ‘em in the morning, probably says a lot about how Haman treated most people around him, even more than forcing all to bow to him). KA orders it be done.

Not that Haman was around to be sad about it, but what happened next would have massively pissed him off, as his old job then went to Mordechai. Esther then implored of the king that the degree to allow the massacre of the Jews be reversed. The king couldn’t Cntrl+Z the order to murder-all-the-Jews, but he could issue an order that they could fight back. The proclamation was sent throughout the land, and the Jews were able to prepare. Since the royal decree had been amended, the governments (princes, governors, satraps) largely reformulated their plans accordingly, but plenty of Jew-haters still wanted to use the opportunity. The ability to self-defend meant that the communities weren’t massacred. In most of the kingdom, the Jews were now safe. Outside of Shushan, the fourteenth of Adar became a feast day.

Shushan was still not safe though. Antisemites were still out and mad (and apparently had not learned from the previous day), so Esther asked the Jews of Shushan to be allowed to defend themselves once more. Her wish was granted, and the Shushan Jews were able to defend themselves once more (so Purim is celebrated a day later in walled cities).

The story ends with the decision to write it down, and although there some debate on authorship, it is traditionally attributed to Esther herself cowriting with Mordechai.

Nowhere in the book is God mentioned. Nowhere is there divine intervention (at least not explicitly). Just Jews sticking up for themselves, being brave in the face of mortal peril, and a metric fucktown of chutzpah.

A3! Event Story Translation “SSR Family” [ Chapter 5 ]

Things Itaru went through before becoming a successful streamer.

*keyboard typing*

Chikage

…

Itaru

…Aaand sent.

Chikage

By the way, have you decided on a wedding gift for your sister yet?

Itaru

Oh, I couldn’t think of anything, so I might just buy her a pair of Baccarat glasses.

I’m getting flashbacks to every time I’ve had to pay for unnecessary game loot, though…

Chikage

Then only two requests from the Demon King’s commandments remain.

Itaru

First is to get Citron’s help, and second is to play the perfect younger brother during the IRL meeting, so it’ll be an easy win.

Oh yeah, speaking of, which one do you think is better, senpai?

Chikage

What?

Itaru

For my 7th anniversary of streaming. I was talking to you about it before.

Chikage

I thought you were going to ask about which pair of glasses was better…

Itaru

Well, I mean, this is a big priority for me too.

Chikage

Here. Without a doubt, you should pick VII.

Itaru

I wasn’t really sure, but since it’s the 7th anniversary, I guess that is the most fitting.

It’s just that VII is a dungeon RPG, so it’s gonna be hard to speedrun…

The problem is I’m gonna be streaming for a long ass time.

So, when do you think I should start streaming, and when should I end?

Chikage

It’s going to be a while before I can leave for a business trip, is that fine with you?

Itaru

There’s no rush. The best time would be after the lead performance.

Chikage

You’re quite good at making thumbnails, since you’ve been active for 7 years.

Itaru

When you’re a committed streamer, you inevitably improve. I use this same layout to make presentation materials at the company.

Chikage

If your boss knew about this, he would faint, given how much of an all-star employee he thinks you are.

Well, starting the MANKAI channel was a great success. You never know where life will take you.

Itaru

Pot, meet kettle. I’d say senpai’s cheat abilities are pretty good too.

Honestly though, while we’re on the topic, my thumbnails and videos were all crappy starting out. You don’t come out of the womb yelling ‘don’t forget to like and subscribe.’

Chikage

You were still in college when you started 7 years ago, right?

Itaru

Yup. I had no idea what kind of equipment to use at first…

I bought a mic, but I couldn’t actually use it ‘cause the cable was the wrong type, and I couldn’t even use the streaming software properly.

And my video editing was a mess too. I was just constantly making mistakes.

There was even a time where my parents and sis found out I bought a microphone, so they thought I was gonna be a singer.

Chikage

Chigasaki, you’re a singer? Fascinating.

Itaru

They were all ready to take me to karaoke because of it. I tried my best to explain that I was just gonna livestream a game.

A lot of people come to watch nowadays, but I only had one viewer during my first streams.

Chikage

That sounds like a mental test.

Itaru

It was a one-on-one stream, and he was a really noisy viewer.

*flashback*

Nomin

“GG.” Itaru

Thanks. Thank you for your constant support.

(This guy shows up every time.)

Nomin

“You’ve sure got a lot of free time on your hands to speedrun KniRoun like this.”

Itaru

Shut up. I don’t wanna be told off by someone who’s got the free time to watch.

Nomin

“Why don’t you play more popular games? Don’t you wanna get more of an audience?”

Itaru

It’s fine since I want to play KniRoun.

Nomin

“Doesn’t it get annoying to just sit in front of a screen and mumble to yourself when hardly anyone’s watching? The sound quality is so bad.”

Itaru

I mean, you’re watching.

Nomin

“Why don’t you at least advertise yourself on chobitter?”

Itaru

You’re giving advice disguised as a hater. Come on, you’re either an anti or you’re not.

Nomin

“Taruchi, you’re finally on chobitter now.”

Itaru

I’m advertising like you said I should.

Nomin

“Don’t just sit on your laurels, keep moving.”

“You should post short videos instead of just streams. It’s always way too long, not everyone has the time to watch them.”

Itaru

You’re one to talk.

Nomin

“And you talk too much.”

Itaru

Whose fault is that?

Nomin

“Fine. Your persona’s always like that.”

*flashback over*

Itaru

I was nervous being watched by an audience, but after a while I started feeling free and comfortable, like I was gaming by myself…

Chikage

You owe him in a way.

Itaru

Well, I did get some flak for that side of myself, though.

Chikage

Oh, the thing you were talking about with Banri.

Itaru

My banter with that viewer got clipped in a brutal way. So I’ve been labelled a vulgar streamer.

I privated that video at the time and made an apology, but it was useless since it already drew in an audience.

And it became my style, so I kept up that back-and-forth with the viewers.

I wanna express my gratitude to all the viewers who come to watch my streams even when I’m getting flamed.

Chikage

Perfectly balanced as all things should be.

Itaru

So, for some reason, it feels like I’ve finally been accepted.

But that first viewer stopped coming to my streams.

I don’t know if he just got bored or if he was worried about all the hate.

I was able to establish a lot of things thanks to his advice, like my PR and playstyle, so I’m grateful.

Chikage

The overall conclusion I got from your story is that, that viewer is…

Itaru Stop right there. The possibility came to my mind at some point, too.

But I try not to think about it as much as possible since it sure makes me feel… some type of way.

Chikage

…That’s right. It’s just a possibility.

Well, with your streaming style you’re always at risk of getting flamed, so you should hold your tongue a little more.

Itaru

By the way, will you do something if I get flamed?

Chikage

Depends. You can take care of yourself regardless.

Itaru

Then if the flaming gets out of control I’ll ask you to lend me a hand.

Chikage

I’ll prepare a bucket of water for when you get burned.

Itaru

That’s nowhere close to enough.

Things enhypen do for their s/o.

Hyung line, ver.

Tw: mentions of food/snacks, dieting, body insecurities, harassment, creepy people.

Warnings: one cuss word.

☆Heesung☆

• brings a jacket/coat whenever you both go out somewhere, if you ever get cold or your wearing a skirt/dress, then it's to keep you warm or protect you from anyone harassing you. Better know as creeps/ @$$holes 🙄

• hyping you up! Lets say someone is trying to roast you or whatever, and your roasting them back then heesung would be cheering you on!

• feeds you! Everyone needs food to survive! Even if you think you need to go on a diet(which you absolutely do not need to, you are perfect just the way you are, luv) hee would occasionally buy you snacks if your doing school work. Or just cook you something to eat.

♡Jay♡

• cooks for you! Man is a whole chef- he finds cooking for you like taking care of you, its just really sweet :)

• buys you jewelry/clothing! Nothing can make Jay's heart skip a beat more than you do. Especially when your wearing all the pretty diamonds and silky clothing, he buys just for you.

• makes you laugh! We all have bad days :( but to turn that frown upside down, we have jayyy! Yay! He will do anything in his power just to see you smile/laughing again. Will fight anyone who caused your bad day or just insult them but in a funny way like "don't listen to them babe, they probably be looking like willy Wonka and the oompah lumpas combined" then start laughing once he sees you smile.

~Jake~

• buys you snacks! If your on your period, the whole snack aisle is in your house/apartment as soon as you tell jake. If not, he just buys you snacks to help with a headache or if its 3 am and your hungry but to lazy to get up, Jake's got you covered, luv 🥳

• helps you clean up! Lets say you have a lot of younger siblings or just family members, and you invited jake over for a holiday your family celebrates, you were in charge of cleaning after everyone has left, then he would help as well! Or if your having trouble putting a shirt on or taking your jacket off, Jake is your helper!

• comforts you! You are insecure and don't want to go out because a certain piece of clothing isn't fitting well, he would sit beside you and say "clothes have one job, and if they can't do that job right, its their fault and not yours, babe" then pull you into him and whispers sweet nothings into your ears.

°Sunghoon°

• helps you out! Your stuck on a math problem, he's already explaining it step by step, you can't find a jacket or shoes to match with your outfit for the day? Hoons already storming into your room and straight to where you keep your stuff.

• compliments you! Your wearing an outfit you've been iffy about, he's out here yelling "thats my baby, yup get it, babe!" "Woooh! Work it" "show these haters how beautiful you are, baby" " she takes after me" then proceeds to fake cry 😃.

• keeps you safe! There's news going around that an escaped prisoner is on the loose, hoons practically banging on your door telling you to let him in, his reason is "I can't let anything happen to, my baby" then proceeds to stay the night maybe even 2 to 3 nights OR until they find the guy then he's back to the dorms. He gives me protective vibes. Like let's say you both are on a vacation and have to stay in a hotel for a couple of nights, sunghoon is checking EVERYTHING in that room to make sure that there's no cameras, wires, etc. (Please! Be careful, everyone)

EPISODE NOTES COMING AT YOU RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW

THIS EPISODE CLEARED MY SKIN WATERED MY CROPS CURED ALL MY MENTAL ILLNESSES YOU KNOW. ALL THAT GOOD STUFF

LESBIANNSSSSSS

This first part is as usual gonna be completely out of order. Anyway

VESPA WAS SO SOFT THIS EP ;; I lover her sm I love her and buddy I love them communicating I love vespa comforting buddy who is allowing herself to be vulnerable for once

Speaking OF, aside from just the fantastic character development for buddy and the point abt her being a narcissist needing to listen to Her Own Goddamn Advice

The parallels between her and nureyev were more prominent than EVER this episode!! Jet suggesting that she leave him in command!! Her bit about her persona only ever having been a mask!! Saying that she's one of the best equipped people to spot an act in progress because she's done it herself for so long!! The obsession with being Good Enough and keeping up that flawless persona!! LIKE MOTHER LIKE SON GIVE ME THIS CONTENT

NUREYEV HATERS GET WRECKED

He had so much good shit this episode. First of all he actually sounded like capital N Nureyev, not ransom or anyone else. Second of all he was so willing to put himself in harm's way for this heist!! He's acting so much like he was when he was younger, desperate to get the job done, insisting he can do it even when it's obvious he's overreaching because he wants it so badly

SPEAKING OF JUNO GETTING HIS SHOOTING ABILITY BACK AAAAAAAAA

I'M SO PROUD OF HIM. HE SOUNDED SO HAPPY. HE SOUNDED SO EXCITED

Also vespa calling nureyev selfish and saying that she bets he's never sacrificed anything in his life?? When I say I shouted OUCH out loud jesus christ

Like okay do I think the debt subplot is gonna come to a head next episode (juno's episode)?? Absolutely. Do I think that nureyev is gonna try to make a break for it with the four items now that they've finished the heist? YUP. Do I also think he's doing it because he's scared and is trying to do as little harm as possible while trying to protect himself? YEAH.

His speech about symbols being all anyone has and just,, ooooof god. God. Someone give this poor man a hug

Also he deffo stole the knife right at the end there huh. "Lost" my ass

Juno being a fucking first rate detective once again mr steel I love you I love you you dumb whiny baby

I love buddy and vespa being so jokingly disparaging of them all T~T They're family and they give each other shit and they love each other!!

Vespa called juno by his name!! Not by steel!! Admittedly I'm p sure it was only to buddy but Still

"You're not the only one on this ship with medical secrets" vespa???? Hello????? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

Nureyev quoting buddy's line from the end of man in glass a YEAR after she said it to him and after he spent all of MiG quoting mag?? One hit KO to my heart. She's as much a parent and mentor to him as mag ever was and I need SO much more content of the two of them bonding & being mother & son

I definitely need to listen to this ep again at LEAST once. Jesus. Spent the whole thing bouncing up and down and screaming. In fact I think I have given myself a headache by overheating my brain so I will add more to this Later

Thoughts after the fact:

What vespa was saying about nureyev acting differently..... could be read as him being nervous but I can't help but think with him having been talking in his own voice all episode, what if he just wasn't putting up a persona? I don't think it would be much of a leap to think that nureyev in actuality is much quieter than the personalities he wears, but idk, just a thought

This is further to discussions that were had on the tpp adults server but uhh juno is So smart and should have been listened to earlier not just in this episode, but like going back to part one he's been pointing out buddy's questionable decisions she's made to put off this heist for almost the whole year!! Listen to juno challenge cb crew smh

I know..... that jet has been lined up as buddy's successor...... but like idk I feel like that's not a role that suits jet rly?? Yes, he's calm and steady and logical but he doesn't have buddy's strategic mind or charisma, and yes I am saying this because nureyev does and I want this to be plot relevant besides making for interesting parallels

LET NUREYEV TAKE UP THE MANTLE 2020

Second listen notes:

I just. Love buddy sm the way she speaks is so fun to listen to

“How are your children? Which is to say your car”

Nureyev is like, legit so loyal to buddy? He defends her a lot and clearly respects her immensely. Pls kabert can we have mother and son bonding

Buddy and jet’s relationship....... I cry I cry I cry

Like I literally cannot pick out my fav lines from this ep bc there’s SO many of them I’d just be quoting the whole thing

I love. Hearing buddy and vespa just talking though. Ragging juno and nureyev, being sweet with each other, laughing together..... vespa being like “one thing first - I love you :>” healed me

“If our places were switched, what would you say to me?” [CRYING CAT EMOJI]

Juno’s little “Yes, yes! Yes” just, T~T

The fact that buddy gets her advice referenced from every crew member...... jet, vespa, nureyev, and then rita..... not juno though? Idk if that’s because we just haven’t heard from juno yet or ??? idk. Weird though

Listen not to go back to this but jet does NOT sound like he wants the captain role...... and like, even on a meta level I’m not so sure he suits it but like buddy says he hates it when she says it and LET NUREYEV SUCCEED BUDDY 2020

Vespa is so excited abt the prime ;; Like SO excited, which is so sweet, but also I’m very very interested in that writing on the bottom

She’s so SOFT with buddy as well, and so calm...... I’m cry I’m cry she’s just like “okay, so you’ve got a problem, let’s fix it then”

“We’ve all had to put up with juno and ransom [acting like newlyweds] long enough” YELL. The fond family ragging of it all but also jupeter confirmed for completely insufferable

Couple of additional things:

I find.... nureyev’s little speech abt symbols and stuff rly interesting. Idk my running theory abt his debts is that his name is being used as leverage against him with the stipulation being “if you don’t pay, we’ll release your name and face to the public” meaning not only will he be in danger, but brahma as well, if we assume that the GAS has been deactivated since he left. The symbol he left behind is the only thing keeping the citizens of brahma safe - and not even that tbh, it’s only providing the illusion of safety, if this is actually the case. Idk I really wanna get my hands on the script now I think that speech says a lot abt his mental state rn

WHO ELSE ON THE CREW HAS MEDICAL SECRETS VESPA?

I don’t like the sick nureyev theory tbh but ):

#wastepaper basket #tpp #tpp s3 #tpp spoilers #tpp s3 spoilers #tpp meta tag #IN SUMMARY HHHHH GOOD EP

you. [tom holland] - four.

PAIRING: tom holland x female!celebrity!reader

SUMMARY: ah, to be young and in love. it sounds great if only you and tom were actually dating out of pure love and not for the sheer reputation of your careers. it also should be great if you two actually got along, but life isn’t that easy.

WARNINGS: mostly swearing! more fluff than usual yall lmao. it’s haters to lovers / fake dating au so take that information as you wish!

WORD COUNT: 1660

SONG INSPO: circles - post malone

A/N: hiya babes! well, i’m back in university and this semester is a bit more heavy-loaded than my previous one. only the first week of the winter semester, i’m already unbearably occupied. but i’ll manage! i’ll try to update every saturdays since i need an escape from academic works lmao. anyways, happy reading and enjoy part four! x

gif credits: @spiked-tea

You weren’t expecting Tom to wrap his hand around yours nor did you expect him to help you ease your nerves down, so you ended up staring at him. You were trying to figure out what kind of stunt is he trying to pull now.

What are you trying to do, Holland? You thought.

He turned his attention to you, his brows knitted slightly. “Why are you staring, princess?” He chuckled softly, amused at the confusion painted on your face.

“’m not staring,” You mumbled as you turned your attention back to walking and slowly slipped your hand away from Tom’s. “I can handle it from here, thanks.”

You said it in such whisper that you could’ve sworn Tom probably won’t hear it. But he did and he just shrugged in response.

You both reached the restaurant without saying another word. It wasn’t much of a restaurant-rather a diner. It looked very hip and retro. It also featured a couple of colourful fluorescent lights, and you knew it was going to be one of those stops for Instagram photos. Maybe lunch won’t be that bad.

It was horrible. You two having lunch was horrible.

“Honey, you’re exaggerating,” Zoë said as she answered her emails. You didn’t even notice you said it out loud but even if you didn’t, the look on your face probably said it all.

“I am not exaggerating, Zo! I’m telling you, people were staring so much. People also asked for photos, which I didn’t mind because some of them were totally nice about it, but god! Some of them gave me dirty looks. Like hello?” You ranted off.

Well, people giving you dirty looks were the least of your problems.

You and Tom were seated in a corner booth as you both ate your lunch quietly. Well, it was quiet until a girl around her teens approached your table.

“Oh, uh, hi Tom, I’m so sorry to bother you but can I take a photo?” The girl asked with a hopeful smile on her face.

As you were sitting across him, Tom glanced at you as if asking for approval. It caught you off-guard. ‘Why is he asking for my approval?’ You wondered.

But you two were a fake couple now, and you guessed this is how things are going to be from now on. You had to act like a normal couple around everybody else.

This only made you second-guess your decision even more.

You glanced at the girl and gave her a small smile. Keeping the smile, you then turned your attention back to Tom and just nodded at him.

Tom chuckled as he grabbed the girl’s phone. “Sorry, darling, just had to check in with my girlfriend. I promised that this day was the day that I give her all of my time.”

Your eyes widened as you heard the words that slipped off from Tom’s lips. “Oh god, we’re that couple?!” You wanted to scream at him. But of course, you couldn’t.

“Tom,” You mumbled shyly, also feeling the warmth spreading across your cheeks.

“What?” He laughed. ”I was just stating facts, princess. I did promise you that I’ll make it up to you after what happened. Right?” He then proceeded to take a photo with the girl. She mumbled her thanks and giving you a complete once-over before she left. You swore you saw her roll her eyes after.

Once you knew she was out of distance, you called Tom’s name in a whisper. “Tom, what the hell was that?!” You hissed in a low voice.

However, Tom couldn’t grasp what you were saying. “Sorry, what was that, princess?”

“I said, why did you have to say that?” You said in a low voice.

“’m sorry, still can’t hear you, princess,” Tom answered. “Just seat next to me so you don’t have to say it loud.”

You rolled your eyes and pulled out your phone. You were about to send a text to him but you realized you don’t have his number. So, you opted out to use the notes app on your phone instead.

‘I don’t have to seat next to you. We can just use this instead.’ You typed and handed Tom your phone.

His eyes scanned the whole thing and began typing his response. ‘Just sit next to me. This is ridiculous.’

‘No.’

‘Y/N, this is excruciating. Just sit next to me so we don’t have to do any of this. Besides, people are staring and we look ridiculous.’ Tom handed you your phone.

As soon as you read his reply, you briefly wandered your eyes around the place and unfortunately, he was right. People were staring at you two.

You let out a small sigh, before sliding off your seat. As you stood up and was about to sit next to Tom, he gave you a huge smile.

You were about to roll your eyes when Tom signalled towards the window panel against your table. You looked through the huge glass panel and saw a couple of paparazzi attempting to hide while taking photos of you two.

You forced a smile and went towards Tom’s side of the booth. You sat at the edge of the seat, leaving space between you two.

“Why are you sitting so far away?” He asked, amused. “Come closer.”

“I don’t think that’s necessary.” You said, scooting away more. You had half of your butt sitting and you looked absurd, to say the least.

“Y/N, you look ridiculous. C’mere, princess.” Tom chuckled, sliding his arm around your waist and pulled you close to him.

“Holland, what the hell are you doing?” You hissed under your breath.

“You keep asking that, Y/N, but you already know the answer.” He answered lowly. Tom had his left arm around your shoulder, tracing slow patterns on your arm.

Not satisfied with his answer and wanting a more constructed one, you just looked at him- which was a horrible idea. You had a close-up look at his face. You noticed freckles speckled across his face. His eyes-god his eyes. You liked how they turn golden when the sun shines on them.

With every second that you studied his face, along with his gestures, the more you realized how difficult the whole situation is going to be. You could never fall for this man- no matter how difficult it’s going to be.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Tom asked as he popped a fry-a chip, he argued while ordering- into his mouth.

You were not going to actually say why you were staring at him, you had more dignity than that. “Gotta make the people believe I’m so in love with you that I can’t help but look at you.”

“Wow,” Tom let out a low whistle “You’re getting good at this.” He was still tracing patterns on your arm and you couldn’t help but feel comfortable being this close to him.

“You can rest your head on my shoulder if you want. ‘Ya know, if it makes you more comfortable,” Tom suggested.

“If I say I’m okay, will you still bug me about it?” You asked.

“Yup,” He answered honestly, making you roll your eyes.

So, you gave in. You rested your head over his shoulder and closed your eyes for a moment.

“The old couple at the next table is staring at us adoringly,” Tom whispered. You opened your eyes and sure enough, there was an old couple looking at them in awe. Feeling shy all of a sudden, you just gave them a small smile before burying your face into Tom’s.

You two were acting like a real couple and it’s terrifying how you just feel comfortable around him.

“I can’t believe we’re doing a good job as a couple right now, why don’t we take this up at my place?” You spoke too soon. After hearing Tom’s comment, you took his arm off around you and slapped his arm.

“Ow!” Tom rubbed his arm, laughing, “I was kidding, princess, come back here. Please.”

“You’re disgusting, Holland,” You said rolling your eyes.

“I’m sorry, princess,” He pouted while pulling you closer again, setting your head back on top of his shoulder and placing his arm around you. “You know I’m not a ‘sex on the first date’ kind of guy.”

“You are not building a strong case, Tom.”

“I’m kidding, princess.” He mumbles into the top of your head.

“How’d we get here, Holland?” You asked, beginning to wonder what led you guys here.

“Well, for starters, I couldn’t hear you so I asked you to sit next to me.” He answered, laughing.

“Yeah, because you disregarded my phone,” You mumbled.

“Hey, I thought you hated the use of phones while you’re out with people.” Tom pointed out.

You furrowed your brows, “How did you know that?” You asked.

“Saw your interview.” He answered casually.

“What, you’re stalking me now?”

“I needed to know who my girlfriend is. For all I know, you might be a serial killer.” Tom explained as he started tracing circles on your arm again.

“How charming,” You snorted.

And then things fell quiet again. People came and went, however, they still stared at you two.

“Are we going to be one of those couples?” You asked Tom.

He furrowed his brows. “What couples?”

“The one where they have to say sickly sweet stuff to each other in public and have to execute unnecessary PDA around other people.” You explained almost in full detail.

“Why are you asking?” Tom turned his attention to you now.

“Just don’t want to be one of those couples,” You mumbled.

“Then we’re going to be exactly like one of them,” Tom commented cheekily.

“You’re despicable.” You rolled your eyes.

Lunch was horrible. It was horrible because you feel like this whole orchestra is going to end badly and you- you’re the one who’s going to take most of it.
