"y/n~ i heard there's going to be a high school reunion this month. you're coming right?" jay asked. you had moved away to los angeles, california, to pursue your dreams of becoming an actor while most of your high school classmates remained in washington. although you had many friends during high school, jay was one of your closest friend and had always kept in touch with you, despite the long 10 years you were gone.

"i didn't even go to the first one. what makes you think i'll go?" y/n joked.

"oh come on. it'll be nice seeing everyone for once." jay begged. "or you can come up to just see me," he teasingly said.

you stayed silent for a moment, thinking seriously of whether you should or not. being reminded suddenly of your hard work led you to think that maybe it was the perfect time to take a break for once.

"fine." you gave in.

"finally," jay relieved happily.

"you know what. i'll book the ticket for you." he insisted.

"do as you wish," you happily took his offer.

in a matter of time, you talked to your manager about going to the high school reunion and took a flight back to washington.

"y/n!!" a familiar voice yelled outside the terminal. it was jay.

"hi!!" you hugged jay with one arm while your other hand held tightly to the cap on your head. your manager had warned you to not get caught in the airport by any reporters, making you a bit anxious but happy all together. jay had immediately pounced on you when you hugged and was squeezing you to death.

"let me go," you laughed, tapping his back as if he was putting you on a choke hold.

"i’m glad you made it here safely. come on. let's go," jay said, finally releasing you and petting the top of your cap. “i’ll take your suitcase.”

you and jay arrived at his neighborhood, leading you to feel nostalgic. jay had decided to buy a house near the school instead of moving far, allowing you to see the school while driving past. you rolled down the window, taking a closer look at the school; the building looked renovated, having a more modern look with a nice touch of a mowed lawn.

"wow, this place has changed a lot," you noticed.

"it has." jay said, continuing to drive.

"what are you going to wear later?" you asked, rolling the window back up.

"something casual. did you pack something nice?" jay asked.

"of course. this super star has to always look good," you joked.

the afternoon swept past quickly as you and jay reminisced about the past, causing you guys to hurriedly dress up when realizing it was time to leave.

"thank goodness you live close to the restaurant," you said, hanging your gold earrings.

"mhm," jay agreed, styling his hair.

"i'm done!" you grabbed your bag from the couch.

"let's go," he said, swiftly grabbing his car key as you both rushed out the house.

jay slightly stepped on the speed, trying to be cautious of the neighborhood kids, but trying to hurry as well. "omg we're literally 30 minutes late," you exclaimed in the car. jay pulled up to the restaurant, finding all the parking lots to be filled.

"it seems pretty packed. go inside first," he said, putting the car in park for a moment.

"see you inside," you said, unbuckling your seatbelt and heading inside.

as you quickly entered the restaurant, you immediately saw your best friend, sooyeon.

"omg is that the famous y/n?!" she exclaimed. "hurry up, come in and eat!" she motioned for you to sit. you smiled happily at her, glad to know that she still remembered you, making your way over to her table.

as you made yourself comfortable, you saw a familiar face across from you. it was sunghoon. your eyes uncontrollably widened, awkward yet surprised. you had forgotten everything about this man. sunghoon was your first everything: kiss, relationship, love.

"hey y/n," he welcomed you.

you felt unfamiliar with his attitude. “is it because i'm famous now?” you thought to yourself. you and sunghoon had ended on a bad note. you had found out something unreasonable that finally broke you guys up. this however not only made you form a hatred for him, but the other way as well. you guys would avoid each other at school and left high school without any good-bye messages.

"hi." you awkwardly said. “did he forget what he did?” you thought to yourself. 

"did jay come with you?" sooyeon asked, butting into silence.

"yeah he did." you said, avoiding sunghoon's eye contact.

"he can take my seat. i'll sit next to sunghoon." sooyeon offered.

"thanks," you said, looking down at your hands, fidgeting with them.

"i'm here!!" jay blasted the door open.

"yo jay!" everyone welcomed him.

your eyes lit back up, glad jay came before it got more awkward.

"come sit here!" sooyeon guided him next to you.

as jay was about to sit, he noticed sunghoon sitting across from you. "oh shoot." he said with his eye.

"i forgot my polaroid in the car." jay said. "can you get it for me? wouldn’t want to miss taking a photo as a memory." he said, giving you the car key. "i didn't park far."

"yeah sure," you said, getting right up. you rushed out of the restaurant, making your way to his car to grab the polaroid. you slowly walked back inside, hoping that you had cooled off your anxious feeling.

"y/n! i switched seats with you if that's ok," jay said, welcoming you back in.

"that’s fine," you said, taking a seat.

"it's been so long y/n~ how have you been?" sooyeon asked while cooking the meat. jay cut some pieces of meat from the grill and placed them on your empty plate, listening to the conversation simultaneously. 

"i've been pretty busy," you awkwardly laughed, unable to fake an expression like you usually did with work. "thanks," you quietly thanked jay.

"you should come more often. we've missed you." sooyeon said with pouty lips.

"haha. i didn't know," you awkwardly smiled. you noticed sunghoon looking at you, but tried your best to not make eye contact with him, unsure how to react.

"you look prettier," sunghoon suddenly butted in.

all eyes darted at him. "what?" you confusedly said.

"babe~ why would you compliment someone else?" sooyeon asked in an annoyed tone.

sunghoon ignored her comment. "i said you look prettier y/n."

you stared blankly at both sunghoon and sooyeon, the table becoming silent.

"i'm going to the restroom," you said, getting up.

in the bathroom, you scoffed at his answer, overfilling with anger. “i look prettier? what makes you think it's ok for you to say that after all these years?” you thought while washing your hands. “what the heck was sooyeon also saying?”

why was he being so confusing? what was with the change of attitude? you kept questioning yourself. as you headed out the bathroom, you saw sunghoon waiting for you, leaning on the wall. he was looking down at his shoes until he noticed you taking a closer step.

"i'm sorry if the comment earlier made you uncomfortable," he said, walking up halfway.

"it's whatever." you said, finally making eye contact with him.

"okay. i'm glad." he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"so you've been busy?" he asked, continuing the conversation.

"yeah." you said blandly.

"hey-" you butted before he spoke anymore.

"why are you acting like this?" you asked.

"like what?" sunghoon questioned.

"like this. we haven't spoken for a while and now you're talking to me as if we're old pals." you said with a slightly angry tone.

"aren't we old pals?" he scoffed.

"no. we're not," you said sternly. "if you're just here to play with me then stop."

"i'm not here to play with you, y/n." he sighed. "i'm sorry for how we ended. i thought maybe we could work things out again when we were happy with our own paths."

"i'm sorry to pop your bubble, but that's not happening." you confessed. "it's been years sunghoon. you ruined this for us." you said.

"no y/n." he sternly said. "i haven't y/n. i never did. let's work things out." he said, grabbing onto your wrist.

"sunghoon. let me go!" you said, trying to push him away.

jay suddenly came out of nowhere, removing sunghoo’s hand from your wrist.

"you're disgusting," jay said before taking your hand and walking out.

"get in the car," jay said, opening the passenger door for you. you entered the car, fazed by how sunghoon acted. “was he really trying to work things out?” you thought. jay began the engine and drove with an angry expression on his face.

"are you okay? what’s wrong?" you asked, already feeling frustrated by your feelings but sensing jay had more to say with the look on his face. you turned your body to face him, checking in on him.

jay quickly pulled to the street and parked abruptly. "because." he began but paused. "because he's such a dick..." he hesitantly said while looking down.

"i know that, but is that all?" you asked.

"y/n." jay began once more. "he's seriously a dickhead. he's been dating sooyeon for years after you left." he confessed. 

"so he lied," you said, leaning back on the passenger seat.

"yeah. i don't know why he had the balls to do that right in front of everyone too." jay said.

you sighed, tracing back all the bad memories with sunghoon. during the winter break of senior year, he had cheated. you guys had planned to spend christmas at your family's place, but he had canceled last minute due to a cold. sad that he couldn't make it, you made him homemade chicken soup to lift up his mood but another girl was in his bedroom, already doing just that and that was your final straw with him.

"i'm so stupid," you said, fidgeting your hands again.

"no, you're not. you just didn't know." jay said, holding your hand to stop your squirmy hands. 

"it's okay. i'm here for you." jay gave you an assuring look.

"thank you." you said, glad he was by your side.

"you didn't eat at all. let's go somewhere nice," he said, mustering up a smile and starting the engine.

“you also need to fix that habit of yours,” he said, looking at your hand.

"thank you for noticing everything." you said.

"hm?" jay said, not hearing you the first time.

"no one noticed but you." you repeated.

Live-in boyfriend Bob Floyd bringing you an iced coffee in the sun-drenched corner of the living room where you're stretched out on the lounge reading. He's making a list of improvements to the bungalow while kissing the top of your head, promising you he'll wait to mow the lawn until later.

[bxbybluu]

i love him ^_^

[lipstickmarks]

ben solo is so boyfriend 🫶🏻 he would bring you coffee at work even if your office is across town, kiss your forehead when you don’t feel well, fix you a drink when you come home, make your bed while you take a shower in the morning so you don’t have to, pull you all the way onto his lap while you’re cuddling, order extra take-out in case you get hungry later, organize dates for you at fancy french restaurants AND cozy at-home dates where you order pizza and watch movies on the couch

cara mia, how i love him 🦋

[lacheri]

currently thinking about how Levi is a subtle lover. not that he doesn’t make grand gestures — he does, just not always in an overly romantic way.

your cup is always filled with water. in fact, it doesn’t ever stand the chance to empty. every sip you take, Levi watches. when the glass settles on a surface (your nightstand, the coffee table in the living room, the kitchen counter), he’s on his feet to refill it to the brim. he asks when you come home from work, school, errands — have you drank enough water today? — and no matter your response, it simply isn’t the right amount to satisfy Levi. he pushes that glass into your palms, eyeing you with an expectant gaze, and sighs in relief when you drink. making sure your basic needs are met are his top priority, because he’s not exactly sure what he’d do with himself if they weren’t, — I need you to take better care. I don’t need you getting sick or dehydrated on me. — because attempting to imagine a life where you’re not healthy and smiling and you’re not you is sickening at best and catastrophic at worst.

Levi develops a sixth sense to know when you’re stressed or overworked. it’s easy to tell the signs (the crinkle in your brow, the heavy sighs you release every few moments, the lethargy of your movements), but he just has a knowing, even before all of the warnings. he learns how to best destress you — do you want to watch a movie? you can put on whatever you want, I don’t mind. I’ll grab your blanket. we can share it. here, sit down on the couch, I’ll grab us a snack. I can get your pillow from the bedroom. don’t lift a finger. I got it. — until you’re calmed and sweet and relaxed. his fingers against your scalp, quiet breaths of contentment blowing against your ear, gentle kisses to your temple — are you feeling better? good. if you get tired we can go to bed early. yes, I’m sure. here, hold onto me, I’ll walk you to bed.

it’s domestic, pure, but it makes you feel so special and taken care of. spoiled, almost. he organizes the home you share to make the things you reach for the most easily accessible; your skincare products in the bathroom (beginning the line up with your cleanser and ending with your moisturizer), your novels on the bookshelf are in order from “to read” (closest on the bottom shelf) to “have read” (furthest on the top shelf), your travel mugs never leave the drying rack (you’re always running late, why put them away?) even though Levi hates the clutter. he accommodates and compromises without a single complaint. he goes out of his way to make life less complicated for you, and he enjoys it.

and when the gesture is grand, it’s thoughtful, sentimental, special. it’d be considered uncharacteristic of Levi from someone who didn’t know him like you do, but you do, you know him. you know how he schemes every year for months (your birthday, a holiday, any special occasion really) on what to gift you. Levi isn’t materialistic, but he really adores indulging, especially when it comes to you. he makes mental notes throughout the year, — you really liked that one sweater you saw when you went shopping together, that’d make a nice present. you’ve been eyeing at a record player for a while now, a vinyl collection full of your favorite albums would make you dance around the house with that silly smile you reserve only for your happiest moments. you made a comment how you wished you could take a vacation somewhere, he could afford to take a week or two off from work. — waiting for the perfect opportunity to execute any whim or desire you’d expressed. it’s more than just things, it’s parts of who you are. he wants to surround you with things that make you happy, provide you with experiences that bring comfort into your life.

maybe he’s not good with words, but he’ll show you how much he loves you through his attention, and you possess every shred of it.

I've been making my boyfriend a custom jacket for Christmas and it's finally Finished!

I'm so hyped to finally be able to share this. He doesn't use Tumblr anymore so there's no risk of him seeing it but I've been working on this present for MONTHS! It cost me about £180 for all the materials for this jacket and I will never ever tell him - I don't want him to feel like he owes me anything or that this was about money at all. Luckily I have enough of some of the materials, like fabric ink and photopolymer, to use on dozens of other projects so it's not a huge loss of money.

The jacket itself cost me £10 second hand and I didn't anticipate spending so much on it but the more I fell in love with him the more I decided he deserved something he would love and treasure and hopefully that would remind him of how much I love him when he wears it.

So here it goes;

#1 - The Jacket

Got this faux fur removable collar, 100% denim jacket for about £10 second hand on eBay! Absolute bargain. I bought it before we got serious, probably in July or August, and was only gonna distress the denim a little originally. Maybe buy a few cheap band patches if I could find them. But as time went on and I fell in love with him, I decided it should be a lot more meaningful than that.

#2 - The Patches

It took me M O N T H S to accumulate the patches I wanted. I made a detailed list of all of his favourite bands and got to work. I was only able to secure 4 patches from the bands he loved - one of them being catfish and the bottlemen. This gave me a little trouble since Catfish haven't been active since the middle of last year and the patches on their merch shop hadn't restocked, but I was deadset on getting that patch. I found it on a redbubble clone and ordered it from overseas - the biggest issue was it came printed rather than embroidered, which is what I wanted for an authentic look, but it's on the smaller side so I figured it didn't matter too much and went ahead.

There was something missing though. A back patch, yeah, of course! I wanted to find the perfect back patch, something that would scream "HIM" as loud as possible. I'd already been playing with the idea of what I wanted but I went ahead and looked for a back patch of The Fool Tarot Card. Unfortunately, like catfish, all the patches I found of it were printed. For such a big patch it was important to me that it was as authentic as possible, so I reached out to someone and had my dream patch custom embroidered just for this project! It was the most expensive piece and without it the jacket would have been less than £100 worth of materials but alas, when it came I was starstruck. The level of detail he'd been able to attain was not unnoticed and I was proud to be able to put this on a present for someone I love.

Then there was the layout. I messed around with it a couple of times until I got it right but I was beyond happy with the composition and my absolutely flawless, somehow for once, sewing skills.

But there was something missing.. his favourite band of all time, I couldn't find any actually up-to-date or stylish patches for it but it was a must. I wanted to show him I truly pay attention, and there was one perfect solution for including it...

#3 - Screen Printing

That's right. I taught myself to SCREEN PRINT FROM SCRATCH FOR THIS! I learned how to make a frame, what materials to use, bought a good photopolymer and fabric ink (of which I have TONS left over) and took my sweet time making it. For transferring the design onto the screen I troubleshot a few different ideas; I couldn't find any plastic to print the design on, so I decided to just use the glass that came with the photo frame I used! We're resourceful in this house. Next getting the design onto the glass, I tried tracing with Sharpie and paint but I'm so impatient it just wasn't working for me. So I got the brilliant idea to painstakingly cut out the intricate design and PVA glue it onto the glass, since it dries clear it wouldn't affect the photopolymer! And it worked!

Oh what band was this for you ask? What band was so important to him that I spent hours stretching chiffon, cutting a design, curing polymer and scrubbing out the screen for?

My Chemical Romance, baby

After the screen finally dried from rinsing I did some test prints on an old pair of jeans, and it went so well I was ready to try it on the jacket!

Didn't go so well. There was a button I hadn't accounted for that made it impossible to print it on the pocket where I wanted it, so I tried just lower and it was a complete bust. I spent 15 minutes cleaning the ink out before retrying on the sleeve. The sleeve went a lot better, not exactly what I wanted but it's clear, visible and opaque.

Perfect. Now we just needed some final touches and it would be ready just in time for Christmas.

#4 - Final Touches

We're talkin' lil bits and bobs here. Nothing too extravagant but small embellishments that really make the piece what it is.

I'll start with pins. I only have 2 so far, maybe planning on getting him more for his birthday next year to add to the jacket, but these have just as much sentimental value as the rest.

Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, the pin was on sale and it's another one of his favourite bands! It was a must. The goose, goofy and silly but perfect as we'd played Untitled Goose Game together earlier this year as a sort-of date.

Adding a personal touch; the jacket was originally an ASOS piece, but I didn't like how the label looked in the back so I removed it, only to feel like it was too bare after. So I painted him a custom brand label using that fabric ink from earlier and scrap black cotton from my fabrics; sewed it in place and it was finally coming together.

Fixing up any damage; I found on the removable collar, while I was sewing the patches, that one of the elastic loops that held it in place had almost snapped and was hanging on by a thread, so I repaired that! I know it might never be noticed, but that's the funny thing about love isn't it? We do things that our loved ones might never notice just to make their lives a little better, a little easier.

I'm considering roughing up the edges of the seams with a scalpel, just to give it a more worn look. But knowing my Kyle, it'll have that look no problem by the middle of summer.

Conclusions

This was absolutely a journey. There was a lot of stress, but equally there was a lot of time, effort and love poured into this project. I can't imagine him not loving it based on that alone, not even considering the inclusion of his favourite things. If this gets a good reception I'll post a reaction when I give it to him on Tuesday.

I love this man so much, and I think I already know I've created something he will adore and cherish for years to come. And in years to come, assuming I'm still around, I'll be there to patch it, paint it and fix it however he wants, however our lives evolve together as inspiration. I'm as proud to have put work into this as I am to have put work into our relationship. All the tenderness, and care, and patience will be worth it.

And before you ask; Yes, my love language IS acts of service.

[symphobunnie]

@crawlingmarrow

By which I mean, which one do you naturally have the hardest time receiving, and do not usually think to give to others? Obviously, anyone can become fluent in any love language, but which would take the most work for you?

Feel free to put your natural love language in the tags as well, I'm curious to see if there are any trends.

everyone at work this morning was telling the head manager their problems with swiftie manager bc she wasnt here today 💀💀💀💀 she was 12 minutes late yesterday with her big ass starbucks drink! and didnt turn on the deep fryer for me so i was also 15 minutes behind even tho i come in half an hour after them. so we were allll behind bc she wanted her pink drink

and the opening cashier this morning was only on the prep team for like a week bc she doesnt like working with swiftie manager and she told the head manager that lol. the prep team is always needing more people bc people dont like working with her, we just lost another girl bc they got in a verbal fight(which i saw the beginning of, manager was being a massive bitch and i say that as a bitch myself. that was bitch behavior and she deserved to get cussed out). like they asked ME if i wanted to be on prep even though finding someone to take my job is hard bc no one likes it but me

and that cashier told me the other day that everyone knows about the whole situation with me getting written up, and everyone thinks it was dumb. so i think everyone at work aside from like two girls dont like that manager 💀 GOOD!! SHE SUCKS!! i literally have not liked her since i got hired last july, and i didnt start working with her until i became a cook in october. so im glad people are doing something about how fed up they are with her, and i think part of that was from me talking to our boss about her trying to write me up(this was like a week before she wrote me up). she doesnt have a ton of power over us bc shes just a prep manager which is a step under being an actual manager. but she uses every ounce of what power shes got to get people she doesnt like in trouble so that she can have her perfect little job. and its fucking with the rest of us. so idk what will come of today but i hope something changes, bc none of us can stand her anymore

Rarijack you will always be famous 🙏

Now I finished the show and I edited the ship template a little more. Added some notes and headcanons.

I listed rarity being more jealous, she has multiple episodes dedicated to her issues but then i saw rolloercoaster of friendship and calm down applejack, nobody is taking your girlfriend from you. So little edit on that one.

Rarity has gift giving as a love language and applejack’s is acts of service. Both got words of affirmation in common. Rarity loves being praised and applejack is happy to tell her how amazing she is all the time.

AND most importantly, rarity has never been in a lesbian relationship before. She’s dated only stallions and always sulks about how her relationships never work out. She’d definitely be the kind of girl that’d say “applejack why couldn’t you be a boy, you’d make the perfect boyfriend for me” before she realized being gay is a possibility and applejack would be pining after her ‘straight friend’ and all her friends would be facepalming because it’s so obvious, until she accidentally confesses to rarity in a element of honesty moment and-

I’d love for applejack to be a super kind and patient gf, helping rarity navigate thorough queerness and giving each other unconditional support 🫶
