Never-Ending Roadtrip (Autumn in New York, pt 1)

Summary: (ch 1) (ch 10) Reader joins Douxie in the quest for Nari’s safety. He’ll need company won’t he? - chapter 9) new york tourism and some relaxation for a stressed-out emo wizard

Warnings: Swearing, alcohol mention, implied nudity (just a bath)

Word Count: 3542

A/n: Go listen to ‘autumn in new york’ by ella fitzgerald and louis armstrong to set the mood for this chapter and the next lol. i do like lovecore i promise. also this was going to be it but ive split it up. enjoy

Douxie was very careful to take inventory. One head, two head, dragon head, his own head. All accounted for. Four heads, no more no less. Not even a pesky stowaway gnome. His family was together. Up in the air, on the ship, winding blowing through their hair. Douxie could see sky scrapers on the horizon.

The trolls had been cordial in their goodbyes, but made no effort in giving the impression that they wanted the wizard family to stay any longer than they had. In fact, it was discouraged if not outright. The trolls almost gave off an aura of relief when they faded from view of the settlement. But that was understandable. Douxie’s family had caused a bit of trouble during their stay.

Bagdwella was certain that Archie was a bad omen for her shop and would freak out whenever he tried to enter. Y/n had been a bit confused and tried to explain to her that black cats were in fact supposed to bring wealth, not financial ruin, but apparently Bagdwella had been thinking of an old trollish superstition about dragons instead. Y/n had no counter to that.

Nari had no real knowledge of how money worked, and was determined to make that Douxie’s problem. And the problem of all the trolls in the shops of the town. There was a bit of a problem with her “dining and dashing” in the pub, the one troll eatery in the still developing town. Poor thing had no idea food costs money. Someone had always been around to feed her. Douxie and Y/n almost couldn’t keep up with the demand of sweaty socks they had to produce in order to pay the annoyed barman. Turns out it was somewhat hard to make sweaty socks when you’re actually trying to. It was like their feet realized what was happening and couldn’t pass up an attempt to make their owner’s lives harder.

As much as dear Y/n prided herself on being tolerant, she and Dictatious were going round and round. It was easier to ignore the guy when she didn’t have to live in close quarters with him but that luxury was lost on this stay in Trollmarket. Y/n and Dic argued every time they were in close proximity. She couldn’t help it. The old troll had opinions, and those opinions were wrong. And don’t even get Y/n started on how sad and then angry he made Blinky feel with the whole dead, wait not dead just an evil traitor, wait now he’s okay somewhat, thing. And his personality was shit. Peace was never an option.

Needless to say the trolls were in fact happy to send off the wizards. Douxie was happy to no longer suddenly hear a clatter and then instantly get a headache knowing it was probably one of his problems. They had only been in Trollmarket a few days. Okay so a week, they had stayed there a week. It was only seven days. Eight actually. So to say, they hadn’t been there long enough to cause any real problems. And now they were headed to New York. New York New York.

Douxie was ready to get some quality romance in with his wife. Autumn in New York was perfect for that. The city streets glowed with life. A nice stroll down the sidewalks painted in golden light, arm in arm, carrying the warmth in their hearts and bodies with them, was just what they needed. There were lots of sights to see, and Y/n loved to see them. And it was heavily populated, which would make it safer. Safe was something greatly needed.

For some reason, ever since that one night in the forest, Doux had felt like watching his back. It was tiresome, always being on edge. Of course, he had been this whole trip. But recently it had been amplified. Douxie didn’t know if he was sensing the Order’s presence or if being wed had turned up his protective instincts up to an eleven, but it really would be fantastic to be in a safer environment. He was crossing his fingers New York was one.

Just outside of city limits, the boat was shrunken into a little toy and placed back inside of it’s bottle. The little bottle fit neatly in the backpack that Y/n was wearing. Everything fit neatly into the backpack that Y/n was wearing. It was charmed. Doux would rather it be in hers than his, just as a peace of mind. A quick getaway for her lest they ever be separated. He wasn’t too worried about himself. Nari clung to her side, so it would also be best to keep it with her in order to protect Nari. Yeah, that was totally the reason.

They hailed a cabbie and took it into the bustling city. Douxie had pulled a couple strings with his old buddies, and managed to get them an apartment to stay in. The owner wouldn’t be back for a few weeks, and was happy to have someone to house sit for her. Douxie was happy to have a roof over his family’s head he didn’t have to pay for. It was a win-win.

Y/n never stopped looking out the window the entire cab ride. Douxie thought her excitement was adorable. She had her arm stretched over Nari in the middle to be able to hold his hand. The veggie lady didn’t mind. She was also focused on the view out the windows, fascinated by the sheer number of cars and the heights of the tall buildings. Douxie could feel Y/n’s wedding ring as she squeezed his hand. It helped calm him.

This apartment was owned by a starlet. It was huge, for New York standards. It was really high up, which made Douxie a wee bit nervous. Eleventh floor. It was eccentrically decorated, with bright colors. There was a wall in the living space that was a floor-to-ceiling window, covered by pale pink curtains and strings of heart-shaped beads. The other walls had a wallpaper that was white with red rose motifs. The couch was bright cherry red, furry, and oddly shaped. The kitchen cabinets were painted hot pink, with frosted glass doors that bore a rose pattern. The refrigerator was also cherry red, with white and pink heart-shaped stickers stuck onto it. Everything was fucking red, white, or pink. It looked like Saint Valentine himself threw up. Douxie was afraid to see what the bedroom looked like.

Douxie checked the fridge. Yeah, it was empty, apart from the box of takeaway from who knows when and the three bottles of wine. To be expected, of a single young up-and-comer, one supposes. They would have to go get groceries. Archie was making biscuits on the fluffy surface of the couch. It was probably very soft, Douxie had yet to touch it himself. He was kind of afraid of it, to be honest. Nari seemed to also like it, and was spread out on the top, limbs hanging over the back of the couch. Y/n opened the curtains a bit and was staring out the window. Doux headed for the bedroom, to go see what they were working with.

The bedroom was not in any way tamer than the open living space, but at least it wasn’t as bad as Douxie was expecting with the ah, love theme this place had going. It could have been worse. It was fluffy, pink, and glittery, but at least it was rated PG. Apart from the heart-shaped bed, it looked like it could have been a dressing room. There was a vanity with lights ringing the mirror and one of those dressing screens in the corner with several feather boas hanging over it like some kind of cliché movie set. Douxie was setting his backpack down, as he sat on the side of the bed turned away from the door, when he heard someone go into the en suite. And then he heard various noises of,, happy surprise? Sounded like Y/n.

“DEWDROP! THERES A HEART-SHAPED TUB. A FUCKING HEART-SHAPED TUB. COME LOOK.”

Bleeding balroths. Douxie rolled his eyes as he stood up from the comfy feather mattress to go see what she was shouting at him about. The tiles that covered the bathroom were annoyingly pink. The air smelled like something he could only describe as pink. Sure enough, there was a heart-shaped tub like someone’s cheesy honeymoon suite, and his wife was already in it, despite it not having any water. She wore an all too familiar cheshire cat grin on her face. He had one word for this.

“No.”

“Whatever.” Y/n stuck her tongue out childishly. “You’ll change your mind tonight. You will join me in the incredibly fragrant heart-shaped bubble bath, Dewdrop. Mark my words.”

~ ~ ~ As a first stop on the itinerary, they decided on Central park. Some greenery for Nari. And for Y/n too. Trees were good for the soul and one should never spend too much time on concrete. Gave Archie something to scratch that was not the couch that they did not own. It was fine when he did it in Arcadia, their sofa was old and tattered anyways, but not here in the apartment they were housesitting.

Y/n claimed the walk through nature was necessary to restore the energy lost on the trip into the city. The walkways were paved, and Douxie had to really keep an eye on both Nari and Y/n, who should know better, from wandering off the path. Maybe he should get two baby leashes when they were to shop later. Occasionally they would pass by a café. Douxie was glad he was not working in one of those. This trip was a much-needed vacation, as stressful as it was.

A little ways in and they came across a pond, with a cute little bridge that the walkway went under. Douxie rubbed his hand over the stones as they walked through. It was worn, as many hands had also done so over the decades. This bridge, as old as the park itself, was still younger than him. And it had met so many more people than he could even fathom. Doux himself had met so many people over the years. He had been touched by many too, like this little bridge. And just like the people who touched this bridge, none of them quite knew the impact they would be leaving. What they were wearing down. He heard a happy squeal as Y/n and Nari made a sudden sprint ahead of him. Apparently, there were ducks in this pond.

The Met was just a few minutes’ walk from where they exited the park. Douxie was happy with the idea of a quiet art museum trip, that sounded peaceful and relaxing. He needed all the peaceful and relaxing he could get right now. Y/n was actually really excited about this one despite it being not that exciting of an activity. She was trying to psych up Nari. “It’ll be fun, we can pretend we’re a gang of art thieves and we’re doing recon for a heist.” The veggie lady had no idea what any of those words meant.

There were lots of paintings in the Met gallery. It contained multitudes. One painting, they passed as they walked down the corridors, Y/n stopped, transfixed, stared at the painting for a few minutes, and then carried on like nothing happened. She didn’t look particularly sad, or happy, just confused, like she was processing something. Douxie made a mental note to ask her about it later.

Next stop was a walk down Fifth Avenue. It’s not like they could afford to shop, but it was a must-do in NYC so they must-did. They walked holding hands with Nari in the middle like their child. She liked looking in all the window displays. Every so often she would stop to stare and they would tug her along. The trees lining the sidewalks presented their autumn colors. The oranges and golds gave the streets a cheery vibe.

They passed a few food trucks. The trucks were filling the air with various delicious aromas. Douxie’s stomach growled loudly. Y/n giggled and suggested they pick a truck for lunch. Douxie had his eye on a fish and chips truck. It didn’t make ‘em quite like you could get in London but it was trying. A for effort. Y/n thought it was fantastic. Douxie was just spoiled.

They made their way over to the Rockefeller Center, just around the corner. A short walk and Y/n had spotted a coffee shop. So now they were going to a coffee shop. Douxie couldn’t help it, she looked at him with such big eyes. What was he supposed to do, say no?

The coffee shop was warm, and much appreciated relief from the autumn chill that had taken over. And a nice warm drink was sorely needed. Y/n found a nice couch in the back of the shop. Douxie sunk in, deeper than he expected to be able to sink in, but it was an old couch sunk into by many people. It was cozy. The love of thousands made it the sofa the way that it was. Love had made it squishy, love had made it comfy. Speaking of love and squishy and comfy, Doux pulled his dear wife Y/n to his side in an embrace. Low-key cuddling on the coffee shop couch was the best part of Douxie’s day. Nice, relaxing, he needed this. He pressed a kiss to the top of Y/n’s hair.

The Top of the Rock is an observatory deck in Rockefeller Center. Very high up in the air, one can see a great view of the city skyline and get a peek at that famous empire state building. Archie didn’t really care about it, he could get aerial sights any time he wanted, so he took this time to take a nap. Y/n leaned close to the glass, amazed and getting slightly wooed by the city. Douxie slung his arm around her, and, under the guise of affection, pulled her a few steps back. She really was hell-bent on stopping his fragile heart. And then Nari just straight up put her hands, paws, on the glass and put her body weight on the window. Nope. Douxie made sure to ask her to step away from the glass nicely, lest he frighten her, but still tried to convey that what she was doing was something he saw as dangerous and it worried him. Doux was very happy when they were back on the ground.

Douxie liked people watching. So did Y/n. It was one of the things the used to do on weekends in Arcadia, strangely enough. It wasn’t weird. All those people, they all had lives of their own. They all had stories they were living, and it was interesting to glimpse just a small insignificant piece of it. Or sometimes even significant. It was always hard to tell as an outsider, whether or not an ordinary moment was really the turning point of someone’s life. NYC’s famous Times Square was perfect for people watching.

There was something odd about it. The square itself felt wrong. A hundred neon advertisements all at one time. Not an inch of surface didn’t bare the name of a brand. There was something profoundly sad about it. One might even go as far as say disgusting. And there were many, many signs and people. Douxie tried not to attempt to take it all in at once, lest he risk sensory overload. The sun had already set, the brightly lit signs were brighter than ever. There were so many people around them. There were some buskers, some even playing at the same time, so the music clashed. Perhaps there was too much life here. It was loud, and Doux liked loud, but he liked harmonious loud, like music and excitement, not the chaotic loud that surrounded him. He made sure he could see Nari, that she was close to them. Douxie squeezed Y/n’s hand. He thought maybe he should just pay attention to her, tune out everything else. The lights made a brilliant halo around her gorgeous face as she turned to him. The beautiful goddess he called his wife’s eyes searched his, and she noticed he was not so comfy.

“C’mon, let’s go get some dinner.”

They walked away from the square for a few minutes, putting some distance between them and it’s light, before coming across a pizza place for dinner. It was good. The classic, New York slice. And it was pizza. Y/n would admit, it wasn’t special. She actually liked the pizza from the local pizza place in Arcadia Oaks way better. Douxie and Archie agreed with her. But don’t tell any New Yorker’s that. The main thing is that they got a nice dinner, and it helped Douxie calm down. There were only a few other people in the restaurant. The booth they were in was off to the side, away from everything. Y/n stroked Douxie’s palm with her thumb. Archie sat in his lap and purred. He appreciated them.

They’d had a long day. It was best to get home. Once opening up the cherry red door the valentine’s day décor assaulted their eyes once again. This would be okay for the time being but Douxie had no idea how someone could dwell here full time. As he plopped down on the furry couch, he noticed for the first time the numerous little cherub figurines that littered every available surface. It might be interesting to meet this starlet one day. She seemed to have a cupid schtick going. She probably looked the part too.

As soon as they crossed the threshold, Y/n had made a sneaky beeline for the bathroom and that honeymoon suite style tub. Douxie rolled his eyes fondly and scoffed from his place on the sofa when he heard the water turn on. Of course. He supposed he could use some extra relaxing. But she’d feel like she won. Y/n was gonna make a big deal out of this, he could feel it.

Miss starlet had an unhealthy amount of soap bottles filling the storage space in the bathroom. A dragon hoard of fancy scented soaps. As fun as pouring some various vividly colored, strong and flowery goops into the tub and pretending it was a potion would be, and it would be, Y/n opted to find some more calming aromas for poor Doux. Lavender, lemongrass, and jasmine, were what she was on the hunt for. She managed to find both lavender and jasmine soaps, and a lavender candle. No lemongrass. But Y/n wouldn’t have held her breath on that one. It wasn’t exactly glamorous or glittery.

With the water hot, bubbles high, candles lit, Y/n had crafted a very romantic and relaxing evening. She stood back to admire her work for a moment before going to go get Douxie. He was laying across the couch, using his crossed arms as a pillow, with Archie snoozing on his chest, when she found him.

“Sorry Arch. Find a different pillow for the night?” The dragon-cat understood. That didn’t stop him from throwing a look at the two as he settled back down into the couch’s fluff.

Ignoring Archie, Y/n took Douxie by the hand as she led him back into the room she had set up. The air smelled very strongly of lavender. The pink of the tiles was muted in the dim light, which Douxie was thankful for. Then he noticed the giant fucking mountain of bubbles Y/n had turned the bath into. He supposed she wanted him to get in that. Somehow. They’d have to be careful not to accidentally choke on any bubbles.

Douxie let out a little groan as he slid into the bath. The hot water felt great on his tense muscles, he had to admit. He was feeling better, and more relaxed. He certainly wasn’t anywhere near as stressed as he was in time square anymore, but the tension of this strange combination vacation/flee-for-their-lives-trip was taking its toll on the master wizard. He wouldn’t put it past his hair to start greying soon. A wizard was only ever as old as they felt, after all. And boy, did Douxie’s bones feel old. He laid his head back and closed his eyes. No worries right now. He was safe, Nari was safe, Archie was safe, Y/n was safe. Y/n was right beside him, so extra safe too.

“So, how’s it going.” Y/n laughed at Douxie getting a little lost in the hot water sauce.

“Nuclear.” Douxie opened his eyes to take in his wife’s pretty face he just knew was smiling, he could hear it in her voice. Doux pulled Y/n into his embrace and against his chest. She rested her head on his shoulder. “Thanks. I- I guess I sort of maybe needed this.”

Y/n snickered. “Of course you did. Remember, I’ll always be here to take care of you.” She brought his hand up and kissed his knuckles. “Always, Mr. Casperan.”

“And that goes the same for you, I’ll always take care of you, Mrs. Casperan.”

BUT NOW I HAVE A REASON LOL

IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THE POST THAT

INSPIRED THIS, CLICK HERE

FOR CONTEXT!

gay gay homosexual gay

DISCLAIMER BUDDY IS BACK WITH

ANOTHER MESSAGE FOR YOU

TO READ BEFORE YOU CONTINUE ON!

!!!Please note!!! All of the things stated in this blog are my own personal opinions and not meant to imply canon. My purpose is spilling out some headcanons for a crack ship cause it makes me happy. If you don't like this ship, feel free to ignore this post! Thank you and enjoy :)

*And if you guys wanna add onto this with your own headcanons for them, I would love that so much <33

///

These are in no particular order, just whatever comes to mind! I'll try to keep somewhat of a timeline in the beginning, but a fully-fleshed out, AO3 fanfic style timeline is a whole post by itself. (I'll gladly type that out too if you think you'll enjoy it 🥴) Creds to my friend for helping me out with some of this!!!

So without further adieu,

let's get into these headcanons!

///

RANDOM HEADCANONS ;

*Short and sweet, no particular order.

• They both love My Chemical Romance; Jiro's favorite album is Danger Days and Jyushi's is Welcome To The Black Parade. (another shoutout to my MCR fans.)

• Jiro plays MCR songs on his guitar for Jyushi to cheer him up.

• Jiro tried to teach Jyushi to play soccer, but he cried went he got mud on his boots and Jiro decided it would be better if Jyushi just watched instead.

• They read Junji Itō together on rainy days, usually accompanied by a blanket and tea that Ichiro made for them.

• They both have AO3 & Wattpad accounts for the sake of reading all the horrible fanfictions and giggling over them.

• Despite really enjoying each other's company, they still bicker like they did when they fake dated.

• Ichiro is proud of his brother for finally finding someone who he can spend time wish, while Kuko is completely disgusted by the fact Jyushi has a date. ( /lh ) Parents.

• Jiro once texted Ichiro, verbatim, "Can u tell your boyfriend's emo friend to text me back" and Ichiro left him on read.

• They once went on a double date with Ichiro and Kuko and I'm sure everyone can imagine how horrible and awkward that turned out.

• They are avid Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution players and usually have competitions to see who can score higher.

• Jyushi gave Jiro a wolf stuffed animal to match with Amanda and Jiro falls asleep with it in arms reach every night.

• Jyushi is a vegetarian and Jiro always remembers to get him something meat-free when they go out to eat.

TIMELINE HEADCANONS ;

• Jiro and Jyushi originally didn't like each other very much; Jiro thought Jyushi might be as stuck-up as everyone says he was, and Jyushi assumed that Jiro thought that. They didn't avoid one another, but they definitely didn't go out of their ways to interact.

• They were in a fake relationship for a few weeks, just because they were tired of being teased for constantly being alone. It happened at a high school dance, when Jiro went to sit on the bleachers and saw Jyushi sitting there too. He decided to sit next to him and it caused them to bicker back and forth for a while, then it dissolved into them devising a plan to "fake date". (If y'all want that extended timeline post...)

cont. : When they were around other people, like walking down the hallway, they would very begrudgingly hold hands. Jiro comments about how cold Jyushi's hands are and Jyushi snaps back with something like, "Well, your hands are clammy- s-so. . . Shut up!" This would inevitably lead to them bickering, shushing each other, smiling awkwardly at the people around them, shared glare, and repeat.

• They only really started to like each other's company when they realized that they had none in common than they thought. In canon, Jiro loves manga and Jyushi likes alternative fashion (visual kei), so naturally one of the things they had in common was owning Junji Itō mangas. They also share similar music taste, My Chemical Romance being the main one. ;)) This was found out when Jyushi went to Jiro's place for the first time. It was necessarily planned, but in a moment of worry they made plans to hang out within earshot of the other students. Jyushi didn't really pick up on the fact it was just a show and showed up at Jiro's place later that day.

• Their first official date happened partly because they realized they may actually have feelings for one another, and because the questions about how long they'd been together, how many dates they'd been on, how they met from their classmates became unavoidable. Since both of them are pretty terrible liars, they decided the only way to get out of this was an actual date. . . Were they lowkey flirting then? Absolutely.

• Because they're both teenagers with not much in the way of an income other than their rap groups, their first date was at a foodcart. The place was too crowded and loud for Jyushi's liking, and Jiro being the natural gentleman he is offered to buy their meals so Jyushi could get away from the noise.

cont. // slight writing bonus : Jyushi sits on a stairway away from the foodcarts, looking at the bright lights of the Shinjuku division. It doesn't take long for Jiro to return with their food--burgers. Jiro digs around in the paper bag containing their food awkwardly for a moment before pulling one out and handing it to Jyushi.

Jyushi hesitates as well, but eventually takes it from Jiro, who only then sits down next to him on the stairwell. He sits closer than Jyushi would have expected. Jyushi huffes, pulling back the wrapping of the burger, he turns to Jiro with a slightly annoyed expression, opening his mouth to speak;

"You know, I'm vegetarian. . . -"

"I know. It-it's a veggie burger."

Jyushi closes his mouth again and a small blush creeps over his face. His and Jiro's eyes meet for a moment,

"Oh. . . Well, thank you. . ."

and then he looks away before taking a quick bite of the burger in order to hide his face.

It seemed silly. . . though, no one had ever been that observant or caring toward him.

HEYYYY......I'M SO GLAD YOU MADE IT TO THE END BECAUSE I AM CURRENTLY FINISHING THIS @ 3AM <33

THESE ARE SOSOSOSO FUN TO DO,, ESPECIALLY THAT STORY WRITING BIT AT THE END--I'M 100% DOWN TO POST A MINI FIC,, + MORE DETAIL AS WELL 👀👀👀

I'M A CLOUT-CHASER SO IF YOU GUYS WANNA LIKE/REBLOG/FOLLOW, I'LL LOVE YA TO DEATH,,, 💖

“all is fair in love and war, i’m still rotten to the core.”

What's the latest youtube channel you've discovered and binge-watched? Ha, a WoW channel that basically gives advice and tutorials on stuff. She doesn't have many videos, but she's pretty successful already and chill as hell. Kraken Latte. Does it snow where you live? Occasionally. Very rarely does the snow stick, though, because the ground will be too warm. Do you think your hair looks better long or short? Short. Do you look best with or without bangs? Bitch I loved my emo bangs fuck off. Well, they weren't technically bangs, my hair was just parted far to the left. Do you enjoy editing photos on your phone? Well, my phone doesn't have GREAT camera quality, but I usually do some subtle edits if I take a pic on it. What's your favorite thing to do on your phone? Play Pokemon GO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Which season do you wish would last longer? Shit man, fall. At least here, the phase of colorful leaves is VERY short. Goes from green to totally bare in what feels like just a couple weeks. How many outdoor birthday parties have you had? Hell if I know. How much taller or shorter are you than your mom? We're the same height. Who is your favorite sibling? Lol wow that's mean. Do you have neat handwriting? Yeah. Do you like sushi? I've actually never tried it, but I'm quite certain I wouldn't like it. Have you ever tried seaweed? Actually yes, I believe in the 4th grade? We had I think authentic Japanese (or Chinese, idr) food, and I recall there being seaweed. I didn't like it. The only thing I liked was the white rice, I think. Do you have an actual pig-shaped piggy bank? No, but I think I may have as a kiddo. Did you dream of becoming famous as a kid? No. Have you ever been to a gynecologist? I actually haven't because I've always said I wasn't sexually active (back then it wasn't a conscious lie, I just genuinely didn't realize what we were doing was just shallow sex). I'm absolutely terrified to go anyway because I'm just very very very private about this sort of thing and honestly think I'll have a panic attack when I do have to for the first time anyway. Name three games that you are good at. Shadow of the Colossus, Silent Hill, World of Warcraft. What was your favorite board game as a kid? Ha ha, somehow, it was this shopping game called "Mall Madness." Veeeery unfitting of who I was and what I enjoyed as a kid. Do you get on Facebook every day? Pretty much. Did you watch the Kids Choice Awards when you were a kid? No. What was your favorite girl group when you were growing up? Spice Girls, I think. Do you have memories that still make you cry? Yes. Have you made your own mask to help prevent the spread of the virus? No, considering I don't leave the damn house like ever. Do you know anyone who has the virus? Yes. Not personally, but distantly.

My PTSD has been awful awful AWFUL the past few days, so yes. A lot. Have you ever overdosed on anything? Yes. What would you say if you found out your last ex was in a relationship? I'd be happy for her of course, but I'd also be very confused. She's made it clear she doesn't believe a relationship is the best idea for her right now. Who was your date to prom? Jason took me to his senior prom, and I took him to mine. Do you still talk to your first love? No, I haven't spoken to him in over three years now. Wow. Whose wedding did you go to first? I don't remember. I'm sure it wasn't the first, but ONE of the earliest that I do remember was when my friend Summer's mom got remarried. He sadly passed away a long while ago though. Are you ashamed of anyone you've dated in the past? Tyler, yes. It was so pointless and a "let's see how this goes" versus a "I really like this guy and really want this relationship" thing. I honestly think I only said yes to dating because I didn't want to hurt his feelings and I was lonely. What about anyone you've been friends with? There were certainly times it felt very weird calling Colleen my best friend with how bitchy she could be. Especially when you consider how non-confrontational I am, while she charged like a goddamn bull into arguments. Have you ever made out with someone in a pool? Uhhh I think that one night when I lived at the apartment and it was just us out there late at night. He and I went back inside before Jacob and Amanda TO hardcore make out because we both way too obviously wanted it so I wouldn't be remotely surprised if we snuck in some action at the pool oof. Who’s the last person that slept over your house? Sara. Do you still talk to the last person you kissed? Yes. Have you ever kissed someone with a tongue ring? No, I was the person with the tongue ring. I actually took it out a little while back because I was tired of accidentally chomping down on it when eating and chipping teeth.

I cry very, very easily. Can you handle spicy foods? What is your spice limit? Oh yeah. The only way I know how to gauge this one is that I enjoy the "hot" sauce at BWW lol. I've actually kinda cut back on HOW much I enjoy it, though; like I'm more into enjoying my food thoroughly lately than the adrenaline of spicy food. What day of the week is laundry day for you? I personally don't do the laundry because Mom prefers to just do ours together, so. It varies, I think. Have you ever played spin the bottle? No. Do you have any stickers on your laptop computer? If so, what are they of? Not on mine, but the one I currently have to use has tooons. I don't feel like looking at the lid trying to list what they are tho. How often do you say "y'all?" It's pretty much in my normal vernacular due to where I live. Do you believe in evolution? Yes. I have questions and curiosities about it, but when you consider how truly short it has been since considerable natural selection has been observed, why couldn't it exist on a bigger scale? Do you live in an apartment or a house? I live in a house. How long have you been at your current job? I'm unemployed. Have you ever ended a romantic relationship? Yes. Phrase you say the most? Probably "oof" lmao. Have you ever kissed anyone of the same gender? If so, did you like it? Yes and yes. Have you ever given anyone CPR?

galaxiasus asked: A deino nibbling on his hair, then again he's asking for it when he's just lying on his bed and watching Raihan mess with his things. There's the usual softness that came from this, but there was also something else as he thinks. "So.." He starts before he could stop it, he may as well continue. "Why me?" Maybe he should've stopped earlier, he lets out a forced laugh at his own words. "I ain't complaining, just wondering. Why you were so stubborn to be with me and not.. hm, anyone else?" - piers

@galaxiasus ↪ UNPROMPTED!

He doesn’t expect him to be the one to break the silence. Usually, when it came to the both of them, Raihan is the one that lets it build up until he can’t take it anymore. He’s never been the quiet type, always preferring to keep his energy up, though he knows there’s a time and place for it. He’d figured this was one of those times, but the telltale hesitance in the others voice as he reluctantly seems to speak up captures his attention and shatters any resolve he’d had to let him rest in the quiet. The flowers he’d been thumbing at are momentarily abandoned, his teeth releasing his bottom lip he’d been biting down on to keep from smiling like an idiot when he’s been well aware that Piers had been watching him this entire time. He would’ve commented on it, if he weren’t sure that doing so would make him look away — he likes it too much. Briefly, his attention shifts to the deino eating at the gym leader’s hair and he let’s out a rushed breath that could’ve been a laugh if he’d not been restraining himself.

“Hmm? Don’t often get to hear the quiet broken by you,” he points it out, raising an eyebrow in silent inquiry, though the accusing tone behind his voice is just a tease. He taps his fingers against the dresser, taking note of the scrunchies he could see scattered here and there among the notebooks and pens, before abandoning his venture in curiosity to walk back towards him. He stops by the bed and kneels down beside it, crossing his arms over the mattress so he can rest his chin atop them and stare up at Piers. This is an angle he only gets every couple blue moons and it’s a shame, really. Seeing him propped up on his elbow like this with all his messy hair falling down in every direction, he thinks it might be worth getting down on the floor more often. He’s prettier than given credit for.

When he finally pushes forward, however, Raihan’s playful attitude disappears almost as quickly as it’d come. Something in itself that’s extremely rare : very few ever got to see him when his telltale smug smirk faded from his lips and the mirthful look in his eyes turned serious. “Why you,” he repeats, shifting so that he’s resting his cheek against his arms now, head turned away from Piers as he gazes at nothing in particular. The reaction may be a bit out of the ordinary even to him, in all honesty. Normally he would meet any question like this with some kind of teasing to it, but the longer silence stretches on, the more clear it becomes he has no intention of doing that. He knows it’s not a great way to go about it, because it’s hard to tell whether he’s upset or just thinking when he gets like this, but he can’t help it.

Stubborn is definitely one way to put it. There aren’t many people that would chase after someone for a year and a half after they didn’t seem to even understand the advances being made towards them, or at least he likes to think so. And yet, here he is, even though he’d been asked out plenty of times before and after that point in time. Why him... Out of everyone, why him? Previously just some weird, broody guy who spent most his time locked up in Spikemuth, waiting for challengers that rarely ever came because they hardly ever made it far enough to reach either of them. The most he’d known about him for a while was that he had a little sister and Team Yell liked to put on a show for the people who did make it far enough to take on the dark gym. He rarely ever talked about anything interesting in interviews, except for music. All he did was mope around and make it seem as if he was one step above everyone else for not Dynamaxing during his battles.

That’s what he’d thought for a while, anyways, before he’d ever taken time to get to know him. He’s not a saint. He’d be lying if he tried to say he hadn’t had unflattering thoughts about most of the leaders who had become his friends over all these years. Piers is hardly exempt from that. In his youth, he’d been much more brazen. Judgmental. Liked to see himself as above others, took other viewpoints as a stab at his pride, so on. Logically speaking, there’s no way someone like that would’ve ever looked at someone like this. And yet...

“I dunno,” he answers after a while, his eyes narrowing as he zones in on a specific spot of the wall. It takes him a moment to elaborate, because he knows answering like that can be seen as insulting, but that isn’t his intention. He’s clearly lost in his own thoughts, trying to sift through feelings he’s not particularly accustomed to. “’Cuz you were you.” It feels like a cop-out to say it like that, but he doesn’t know any other way to word it. Working up a crowd, putting on a show, making good content for online : he was good at all of that stuff. But entertaining the masses doesn’t go hand in hand with being eloquent. All he can really do is try. “It took a while for me to get comfortable with where I’m at. I always wanted to run after my popularity, be exactly what everyone else wanted me to be. I craved the acceptance that came with being in the spotlight, y’know? Took Leon knocking me down a few pegs before I realized trying to be better than everyone was pretty lonely. Just made me look like a real wanker. I felt pretty stupid once I stopped worrying and realized all my hard work wasn’t going anywhere. Fans still stuck around and all that.”

He hadn’t been at the worst of it for quite some time now. Piers hadn’t known him personally during those days and in all honesty, he’s most thankful for that. He’s not sure he could’ve ever recovered his reputation with him if he had. He’s glad as far as the other leaders, too, of course, but none of them are quite as essential to his existence as he is.

Inhaling, he finally pushes himself up to sit on the bed next to Piers. He can see the other tense up, probably expecting an ambush in that moment, which causes a small smile to quirk Raihan’s lips, but he doesn’t take the bait. Instead, he reaches a hand out to press his palm to his forehead, then pushes back his hair so it’s out of his face. Piers looks an absolute mess. As if he hasn’t slept in ten years, like he’s never been to a high end storefront in his entire life, and honestly, he thinks if he tried to lift a weight he might be at serious risk of keeling over. He doesn’t have a single social media account. He’s pretty sure that he’s never taken a selfie that wasn’t forced upon him, mostly likely by he, himself. Really, he’s the caricature for those quiet, emo kids who sat in the back of class and never said anything unless they were forced to. He’s every single thing that Raihan could never be. Loud, energetic, strong, talkative, confident, smug him.

“You’ve never been like that. You were always locked away in Spikemuth, having fun with what you were doing, even though you don’t always have confidence in yourself or the gym you run. You surrounded yourself with family and friends, made this place your own and ran with it. Used to think you were annoying as hell, honestly. I always wondered how someone could be right below me in the gym ranking and still whine about their gym not being that great. I’d wonder what kind of tosser had the nerve to be that close to me and not have the same kind of confidence I did.” It’s the fact he sounds so reflective, his tone of voice warm — as if he’s thinking back on Piers fondly, that keeps him from being too concerned that he’s shoving his head up his ass being this honest. Maybe it’s a bit harsh to say all that, but he sees purpose behind it. Can’t really appreciate where they are now if Piers doesn’t even know where they started.

He drops his hand down to take hold of his, leaning so that his forehead is resting against his shoulder now. The position’s a little awkward, sure, but he’s not planning on staying that way for long. Just needs a minute. “You’re a musician. You know that feeling when, like ... you don’t really enjoy a song at first ... you think it’s sorta weird, but you keep listening to it anyways, because even though you think it’s annoying, there’s something about it that you gotta keep hearing? And then the more you listen to it, the more it ... grows on you. Eventually, without even realizing it, it’s one of your favorite songs now. Don’t even know how the hell you got there, but you did, ‘cuz something hooked you and the moment it did, it was over.” It’s a really stupid analogy, but he’s grasping. “You’re friggin’ weird, Piers. You and I really shouldn’t have much in common at all, but we do and what we don’t, I’ve taken an interest in. Being forced to be around you for gym stuff changed things. I stopped being annoyed, I started getting curious about your whole ... thing.” He lifts his head and uses his free hand to gesture at ... all of him, vaguely. “And when I get curious, I get determined. So I started looking out for you and learning about you.”

He pauses, reaching up to rub his cheek with his thumb. He’s not embarrassed to be admitting all of this. He never gets flustered, really, but that doesn’t mean he’s used to being so open. For a guy who often put himself front and center to be judged by thousands and thousands of people, he really isn’t used to this kind of ... pressure. He’d brought it upon himself, he’d made it this intimate, and it is what it is now, but ... he might be a tad bit awkward, in the end. Not shy, not unsure, just ... awkward. “I was pretty rude to you for a while back then. I’m sorry about that.” He’s not even sure if Piers would have noticed or if his underhanded, passive aggressive attitude would’ve just seemed like a well hidden part of his personality. He tries not to think about it, looking instead at the progress he’s made both in his personal social circles and in how he treats the general public and his fans now. “But I guess you could say it just clicked, eventually. It wasn’t love at first sight. I was drawn to you because you were so different from me and the more I hung around you, the more I started realizing that I ... liked that. It wasn’t agitating at all. Actually, it was the opposite. It was easier to be around you than a bunch of screaming fans or secret admirers. All of that’s easy, right? People throwing themselves at me who don’t even know me. I had to work hard to get you to even look in my direction or give me the time of day and by time you did, I didn’t want you to hate what you saw. Having that kind of sway over me, that was new. You were suddenly important.”

That’s really all it comes down to. He'd disliked him. He’d gotten to know him. And he’d been awed by the person he’d found in doing so. “Things changed. Slowly, at first, then so quickly I barely had time to realize it myself before doubling down and deciding that, for once, I was gonna be the one to chase after someone.” Even if it took him years. As much as he joked about thinking Piers had just been being dramatic, he would’ve kept trying until he’d either told him to stop or he had finally gotten his feelings through to him. He can’t say he’s disappointed about it being the latter.

“I like your music. I like that your gym is run so differently than mine, because it makes you and Spikemuth and Team Yell a unique challenge to trainers who come through here. I like that you never cared about having a big fan base, that you were just kinda doing your own thing here. I like your messy hair and outrageous clothes. I even like how you make me shove letters in a Pelipper’s beak any time I want to talk to you because you refuse to get on social media and add me as a friend like a normal person living in the correct century.” Raihan rolls his eyes as he says that, shifting to properly face him by crossing his legs in front of him on the bed. He glances behind him again to see Piers’ deino frozen in place, head tilted as if she’d been watching their entire conversation. A piece of his hair is still in her mouth. He clicks his tongue, then quickly dips his head down to kiss him. It’s short, for him, but not lacking in his usual fervor. When he pulls away, he licks his lips and taps his finger against them. It’s his silent way of letting him know before he leans in again that he’s not done : he isn’t going to stop, not yet. “So, I dunno. One day, I just realized that it was gonna be you. Had to be you. ‘Cuz now that you were here, it wasn’t ever gonna be anyone else.”

#galaxiasus #DO NOT #EVER #ASK ME #FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN #THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT HERE #「 galaxiasus | piers/raihan ❛ ◟ in the rain humming melodies‚ every word you write or sing is so warm to me. 」#long post --#「 raihan ❛ ◟ feels just like i don't try‚ looks so good i might die. 」#jesus FUCKING christ take this LORE away from me and BURN it

Fic: The 1st Annual First Nonary Game Survivor Snowball Fight

To: @reivolutionary-penguin

From: @morphogenetic

for @reivolutionary-penguin! you can probably guess which prompt I went with based on the title here, haha. happy holidays, and I hope you enjoy!

AO3 LINK

“So, let me get this…the four of you are taking an international flight…in the middle of December…to have a snowball fight?”

Akane sighs before answering. “Look, Junpei, we all have to do some stuff for Crash Keys. Aoi especially has some clients that he needs to talk to. The fact that it’s also going to be snowing back in Japan didn’t influence our plans in any way.”

“So the fact that you’re holding ‘The 1st Annual First Nonary Game Survivor’s Snowball Fight’ was just coincidental?”

A smile passes her lips before she answers the voice on the phone with mock seriousness. “First of all, we are absolutely not calling it that. That would draw too much attention from the wrong people. Second of all, it’s not going to be a snowball fight! We’re just going to be enjoying some time walking around in the snow. Aoi and I have been stuck in Nevada for almost three years now, we miss being cold!”

“Yeah, yeah,” Junpei says. “As if you four being competitive as all hell won’t make it turn into a snowball fight.”

“We’ll see on that, Jumpy. Not everything we do is competitive.”

She hears a long breath turn into a short laugh, before the voice on the other end quietly says “Love ya, Kanny,” before hanging up.

—

Well, this had started poorly. Before they’d even started the competition, all of Light’s clothes had been lost in bag check. The loss wasn’t a monetary problem – nothing was ever going to be a monetary problem for them at this point – but Aoi still despised spending (“wasting”) money on doubles of anything, so it was absolutely a ‘wasting five hours on clothes shopping while a grumbling emo man is breathing down our necks’ problem. Once this and the other two problems of ‘damn none of us have gloves’ and ‘Clover, that’s not an appropriately thick coat for the weather’ were solved, though, it was down to business.

“Alright, we all know the rules because we ain’t absolute idiots, but I’m still gonna go through them again, capiche?” Three nods. “Sibling teams, obviously. As long as you can throw the snowball with enough speed that it’s not just fallin’ to the ground, no guidelines on size. The team that hits their opponents the most times in the next fifteen minutes wins. If we somehow tie….I dunno, we’ll figure somethin’ out. Esper mind powers absolutely allowed, especially to coordinate with your teammate. Light, if you need it, feel free to ask for clarification on who you’re throwin’ at—”

“Oh, that won’t be necessary,” he says with his usual half-smile. “I can tell all of you apart by your footsteps, even in snow.”

“— alright, great, that’s what I figured, didn’t need to interrupt me,” Aoi mutters. “Uhh, anyway, I think that’s it. Any questions?”

“I have one!” Clover pipes up, not waiting to be acknowledged before asking, “Can we make snowmen and do snow angels and have hot chocolate after this?”

“…I guess? Good luck gettin’ anyone else on board, though, and count me out, I’m not covering myself in snow voluntarily.” He doesn’t acknowledge her groan before turning to his left. “Yeah, sis?”

“Did we agree on a reward for the winner?”

“Shoot, no, I don’t think we did. We’ll figure it out later, I s’pose.”

“Gee, not like you to be completely unprepared! What’s this about prepping a few years in advance?”

“Unless you immediately wanna lose a point to the Fields, I suggest shuttin’ up.”

Akane giggles. If you say so, Aoi.

He sighs a bit, only replying to her with a five-second mental groan, and rolls his eyes before continuing. “Alright. Guess we’re good to go. Head to your starting positions.”

With that, the four of them walk through to the corners of the park they’d selected for the fight. (Or, really, the park Akane had picked, after figuring out a location with minimal traffic and maximal space months beforehand, and that everyone else had agreed on, but that was neither here nor there.) They’d managed to arrive on a day where the snow was fresh, too, so the conditions really were ideal, minus all the problems they’d had before.

Ready, everyone?

Three mental nods.

Three, two, one…

—

The next fifteen minutes are a bit of a blur. Akane and Aoi had initially planned to keep track of each other’s movements via the field, and had attempted to make sure that, for the most part, they were behind the head of their current Field opponent. They had also both thought that Aoi, at the very least, would have some amount of camouflage from Clover when trying to hide from her from his white hair. The two of them, however, hadn’t realized that Clover would just mentally scream for five minutes straight, making it difficult for the two of them to actually communicate over the field feedback. (Apparently, her secret agent training had let her hone her skills to the extent that she could at least two-channel the field – not as good as Akane, but somewhat better than Aoi.) They’d also failed to account for the fact that Light could just hold snowballs in his prosthetic hand as long as he wanted without losing feeling from the cold, so no matter how close they got to him, thinking they were being surreptitious, he would turn and pelt them in the face twice each before they could hide and recover.

Five minutes in, and 3 points to the Fields’ 9, the Kurashiki siblings decide to make a tactical retreat to a particularly wooded area of the park. A bit of a waste of a time, maybe, but getting further behind isn’t an option.

Ughhhhh, this is impossible, Aoi groans. Light can just backload the snowballs, and Clover’s got that…weird…screaming thing. I didnt even know that was a thing you could do with the field?

Akane cocks an eyebrow. Really? I’m pretty sure that me mentally screaming made up most of the First Nonary Game.

Can we…not talk about that? We’ve got a snowball fight to win, sis.

Yeah, yeah. We don’t have long, you know.

Unsurprisingly, Akane’s skills at formulating plans under pressure come in handy as the two of them formulate their next idea. Stealth was clearly not going to work, especially since neither Light nor Clover was even remotely going for that approach. Instead, they decide, the solution is to incapacitate their opponents before hurling snowballs as rapid-fire as they can. Akane would take Clover, taking a front-on approach by throwing a giant snowball in her face before slamming small snowballs into her back. Aoi would tackle Light from the back (or, at least, as near his back as he could manage) and push his ears into the snow, making sure to dull his senses, or at least his ears.

With their hasty plan pulled together, they walk back, assured of at least a draw if not success.

—

As it turns out, the two of them shouldn’t have been assured of anything in a battle against two other espers. While the Kurashikis had decided to switch from stealth to aggression, the Fields had decided to switch their own tactics. Or, well, Clover had. Light was still storing snowballs in his left jacket arm – it wasn’t a broken strategy, so why fix it? Clover, on the other hand, had decided to alter her constant screaming tactic to constant silence. Let them communicate, but don’t let them think they aren’t being listened to. And let’s lie down in the snow, for good measure, so they can’t tackle us down.

So, at minute seven, two Fields, face down in a snowy field, try to crash the plans of the Kurashikis, simply by making themselves poor targets.

Keyword: ‘try.’ (In retrospect, it probably wasn’t the best plan.)

Hey, Aoi? Isn’t this kind of…weird? They’re both completely silent.

I mean… a little? Akane treads as silently as she can manage through the snow. It’s pretty likely that Clover changed her strategy of ‘just constantly screaming,’ but I can’t see what else they would be doing dif- oh.

What?

She pauses, muffling her laughter with her mittens. I. I think I figured it out.

What? Sis, what are you- oh. Oh my god. pfFTTT he LOOKS LIKE A FREAKIN’ DUMBA -

Akane doesn’t pause to listen – hard to pause when you’re dropping a snowball the size of your arm on a human, after all. She’s already started running when she hears the inhuman shriek that suddenly comes from the now snow-covered Clover.

“Oh, you are SO gonna pay for that!”

—

Clover.

NOT NOW, DUDE!

Clover.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, LIGHT.

I am thinking that this was, perhaps, not the best plan.

CALL ME ‘A BUFFOON OF THE HIGHEST PROPORTIONS’ LATER, NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

I was not going to call you that, I merely wanted to suggest another pl-

YOU AREN’T GETTING ANOTHER PLAN. BRO, YOU’RE A PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICAL GENIUS, FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN.

But —

Clover forcibly shuts off their field connection.

—

Light exhales – or, well, as best as he can exhale when he’s currently entombed by snow. To the best of his estimates, it’s been ten minutes now, and, at this rate, the Kurashikis are going to bypass their current score. He’s lost count of how many times Aoi has hit him in the back already, to the point that he barely even feels the next snowball. If it weren’t for the shouts of ‘COME AND GET THIS, EINSTEIN!’ vaguely echoing from above him, he thinks he could simply melt into the snow.

Hah. Melt.

As much as he’s annoyed at his sister shutting off their connection – a wall he would normally try to bypass, if he wasn’t in such irritating circumstances – Light still believes he can regain the advantage. He just has to pull this off, and the Field will be leveled. So to speak.

While the victorious laughter above him continues, he pulls off his prosthetic arm, and digs out a small space for it. (Logically, kind of a bad idea to do that while surrounded by snow, but victory in esper snowball fights supersedes logic.) He then stuffs the loose jacket arm full of snow, packing it as tightly as he can before loosely knotting the end.

“Come — get –!”

And come get he does. Light grabs his prosthetic before stabbing it upwards through the mound of snow above him, and, in one solid motion, springs upward, unties his jacket arm, and swings it towards Aoi’s face.

“What the absolute f-” he starts, before he sputters and chokes on the snow that’s just been swung into his mouth.

Light gives a half smile, before putting his prosthetic back in its proper place and spending the remaining two minutes of the match pelting his opponent with as many snowballs as he can.

—

In the end, they all managed to lose count of their total hit numbers, so Akane is designated the scorekeeper, to her dismay. It makes sense, given the fact that she’s the only one of them who can literally slip through space and time, but still. Not ideal, she groused, but she still does it anyway.

“Well, I got a total of 42 hits. Clover got…28? Aoi, you got 69 –”

“Nice.”

“– Light, you got 87 somehow? Man, I don’t even know how that’s possible. Anyway. That’s, let’s see, Kurashikis 111 points, Fields…”

“That would be 115 points for us.”

“Woohoo, hot chocolate is on you two!”

“I never said I was gonna do that, you pink-haired brat!”

“It would be unwise to discourage Clover from this. Once she’s made up her mind, she never strays from her path.”

“Oh, God, do I know that too well,” Akane groans, remembering the unfortunate end where Clover’s axe met Junpei’s arm. “Homemade, or cafe hot chocolate?”

“Uh, homemade, duh!”

The four of them make their way back to their hotel (which is definitely not conspicuously expensive for a few twenty-somethings, what are you talking about, dear receptionist?), only somewhat dissatisfied with the outcome.

Overall, though? A fair fight

apologies for being so cheesy/obnoxious, but I wanna put this out there.

okay, so I know she (being @taylorswift) will most likely never see this because I’m a small account that hasn’t doesn’t have any friends on here and hasn’t been around for long (my old Taylor account is 4 years old and I haven’t been able to sign into it for about 2 years, RIP), but I just wanted to share this after thinking long and hard about my life so far.

this is really long and I apologize, but I hope it’s worth reading. if not, I apologize.

also, trigger warnings for those who get triggered by mention of self harm, eating disorders, and suicide attempts.

my 21st birthday is a week from tomorrow and I realized while walking my dog earlier this evening that Taylor and her music have been in and such a big part of my life for 11 crazy years. like, I know quite a few of y’all are older than me, but I don’t think I ever really thought about how much of an impact she’s made on me and how I’ve acted about certain situations until now. I know I’m not anything special because so many people have gone through worse things than I have, but I just wanted to share my story. maybe it might help someone, I don’t know.

we’re gonna go through by how each record has impacted my life and helped me through certain shit.

HERE WE GO, Y’ALL.

anyways, Taylor’s music has almost constantly been in my life since Tim McGraw was released as a single. I heard that for the first time in 5th grade because my best friend at the time was (and still is) obsessed with country music. now, I know Taylor’s not really considered country anymore, but we’ve all heard the debut album, so we know why my best friend at the time (Emily) was obsessed with it. anyways, I wasn’t quite smart enough to truly appreciate Tim McGraw (I was literally nine years old) like I do now, so I just kinda listened to it and lived my life as best as I could.

things started to change, however, when Teardrops on My Guitar came out. that came out at the beginning of my 6th grade year and as soon as I heard it on the radio, I was hooked. like, 1500000% obsessed. I had this cheap flip phone at the time (yeah, I know, a ten-year old with a phone) and I used it to record that song whenever it came on the radio. since iPods weren’t super popular with the kiddos back then, I listened to it on literal repeat on my phone’s memos when I wasn’t at school or in church or sleeping. I was literally so obsessed. I didn’t really realize until now, but Teardrops on My Guitar really helped me get through this heartbreaking failed crush I had between 5th and 6th grade, so thanks for that Taylor. ANYWAYS. as her other singles from her debut album came out and were played on the radio (Our Song, Picture to Burn, Should’ve Said No), I became more and more obsessed. that was mainly because I didn’t have many true friends and was bullied quite a bit all throughout grade school, so I felt like someone who didn’t even know me by name was there for support.

again, ANYWAYS. after being content with being a Taylor Swift fan through that debut era, I moved from where I was born and raised (southwestern Illinois) to Missouri (the Kansas City area/the western side of the state) because of my dad’s job. I went from having a couple good friends and not feeling like I had to try too hard to fit in to having no friends and wanting so badly to fit in. well, in doing so, I went into that trademark emo phase and the friends I made at that time made me think Taylor Swift made the worst music ever. that didn’t last long, though, because my choir teacher in 7th grade had us sing Love Story right after Fearless was released, so I was back to being hooked. but this time around, I had to keep quiet in order to maintain my not super great but I thought it was better than what I had in Illinois reputation (LOL I’m sorry, I had to).some of hiding that part of my life (the happy part of my life) got me so down and upset that I started self harming. it was bad. like, really bad. I managed to keep it a secret, though. anyways. the debut album and Fearless helped me through some tough times in seventh grade, including my cat of my whole entire life at that point dying, starting to discover my sexual orientation, and my parents not living together for four or five months.

we’re doing this again, but ANYWAYS (it’s obnoxious, I know). after being in Kansas City for about eight months, my dad broke the news to us that we were moving across the state of Kansas and halfway through the state of Colorado. I was absolutely heartbroken because I had to start that process all over again and knew it was going to be hard on me. I don’t know why, but Fifteen, Fearless, and Change got me through a lot of that when I moved here. anyways. by the time I moved here and got settled, Speak Now had come out (that was the end of the first half of 8th grade). I was still kind of in my emo phase, but people were a lot nicer about Taylor Swift here than they were in Kansas City. I had kind of settled back down to being “normal” and Speak Now, again, helped with a lot. I started really dealing with depression and anxiety in eighth grade due to some bullying (again), so Long Live and Mean got me through that. did I mention that I was bullied into working on changing my slightly hick-ish accent in middle school? no? WELL IT HAPPENED. ANYWAYS! as eighth grade rolled into high school, my Speak Now obsession continued.

okay, now into high school. the best years of my life, but the worst years of my life. LET’S GET INTO IT. I was in marching band all four years of high school and when I first started, I met who I though was the love of my life. she (yes, I said she) was great and supported me and whoever I loved/whatever I was obsessed with, and she was a swiftie, so that was a plus. anyways, as the second half of my freshman year rolled around, my dad lost his job he’d had for a looooooong time (the one that moved us out to Colorado) and my depression got worse. my girlfriend tried to be there for me as much as she could and kept reminding me that Taylor was there, too, but it didn’t help much. I started self harming almost constantly and my multiple suicide attempts started. after freshman year was over and sophomore year began, my dad was still unemployed and I was still severely depressed. my relationship started growing into an emotionally abusive one and I thought my life was pretty much pointless until the Speak Now World Tour dates were released and I saw that Taylor was going to be in Denver three weeks after my fifteenth birthday! unfortunately, my family wasn’t able to afford any kind of tickets and all I got from the concert was a bunch of girls around my school bragging about it and wearing all the merchandise the next day. the next few months of my life were like that until Safe & Sound from The Hunger Games soundtrack was released. I bought that the day it came out because we had Christmas a day late and I got an iPod touch with an iTunes gift card, so of fucking course I would.

okay, let’s just move into the next era because I am going on and on and on here. so between the time Safe & Sound and Red were released, I had attempted suicide multiple times through extreme amounts of self harm and attempting to overdose, but clearly, none of them worked. I also marched in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade my sophomore year and tried killing myself and started starving myself after we got back for lord knows what reason. the only good thing about that trip was being in Time’s Square at the same time Taylor posted a picture of her in a taxi in Time’s Square. like, that’s it. anyways, the only thing that helped me through my sophomore year was the fact that I had Safe & Sound and The Hunger Games to make me feel like life was like, the least bit worth living.

ANYWAYS, I’m pretty sure it was my first week of my junior year, but Taylor had her livestream when she announced Red and that was the beginning of my life turning around. I was finally able to end my super emotionally abusive relationship with my ex girlfriend by playing We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together on Skype and then hanging up on her. thanks, Taylor, by the way! it made me feel so empowered and the countdown for the album gave me something to look forward to. I also remember coming home from school two days after my sixteenth birthday, watching Taylor sing Ronan, then hating my life. A N Y W A Y S. Red coming out was the best thing that ever happened to me, even though I couldn’t buy the physical copy until after school the day it came out. I did buy it on iTunes the night before and I’m pretty sure I posted it on Facebook, but you know, whatever. by the end of my junior year, I was doing a lot better in school than I had been doing my previous year and my mental health got quite a bit better. my last week of school, two of the local country radio stations (The Wolf and KYGO) started giving away tickets for the Red Tour concert in Denver, and after calling The Wolf THIRTEEN times on my cell phone on my last day of school, I won two tickets to see her (click this link to listen to it because my good friend recorded it and put it on SoundCloud). it was a definite turn around to my life. my ex, who was going with her friend, tried to get me to take her with me, but I took my best friend instead and texted her the lyrics to WANEGBT during WANEGBT because I was too savage for my own good. I also saw Mama Swift and cried, and Grant tried throwing me a guitar pick and it made it NOWHERE NEAR ME. but he tried. and it was great.

okay, senior year. sorry this is so long. I continued being obnoxiously obsessed with Red and the last two digits of my locker were 22 and the last number of my locker combo was 13, so I though the Taylor Swift gods were blessing me for sure. ANYWAYS. I graduated from high school, which is something I never imagined I would be alive to do, but I made it through because Taylor made me feel so empowered with songs like IKYWT and WANEGBT and kept me away from my toxic ass ex girlfriend. BUT I GRADUATED. AND IT WAS GREAT. I WAS AND AM STILL SO PROUD OF MYSELF.

I’m just gonna long story short the rest of this because this is going on way too damn long. 1989 was announced and Shake It Off was released on a day I worked a night shift the night before, so I was like, wiped the hell out and actually asleep, but I partied hardy as soon as I woke up and ended up meeting someone who changed my life immensely because of it. I almost dated her, but I screwed that up and honestly, it’s probably for the better. the 1989 world tour rolled around and I didn’t win/couldn’t afford to buy tickets, so I just sat at home and read about it. I lived through the drama and the music videos, which made me feel like I had something to live for (again, I know that’s probably stupid), but at that point, I needed anything I could grasp onto. then I started therapy and antidepressant meds and started dealing with some gender dysphoria, which Taylor’s presence helped me through, until August. then I stopped my medication voluntarily and my self harm got bad. that was during the drought. it was fun. it was hard to find things to be happy about.

okay, fast forward to this year because I need to finish this. Taylor was basically nowhere to be seen and my depression and anxiety had gotten so bad, I had to do something about it myself. I found the courage and strength to put myself in an intensive outpatient program at a local behavioral health facility and while Taylor’s sexual assault trial triggered some very upsetting PTSD and guilt/shame, I graduated from the program two weeks ago. then, shortly after, this new era started.

okay, to make a long story short, I just realized I’ve been able to stay alive during all of her eras and all of the drama she’s been attached to and if you would’ve asked me five years ago, I would’ve told you I wouldn’t have been alive to do that. I realized that I have survived crushes, heartbreaks, love, breakups, depression, anxiety, self harm, suicide attempts, loneliness, confusion, and pain with and mainly because of @taylorswift and I can’t begin to thank her enough for that.

again, I know she’ll probably never read this or see it on her dashboard or anything of that nature, but I just wanted to let everyone know that Taylor is not only a musical legend, but a lifesaver.

take my hand (david “dave” reyes x ryan summers)

summary: A game of strip poker with action superstar Ryan Summers has Dave Reyes questioning his s…kills as a detective. (did y’all think i was kidding about writing these two some fanfic)

Strip poker was Alyssa Griffin’s idea. She had become infatuated with Dave Reyes. Attractive as hell—it was a given when you spoke of the charismatic playboy; but catching her attention most was his depth: prodigious insight coupled with valiance that manifested in exceptionally fine police work—heroism; real heroism. She had tentative plans to divulge this affection, shoot for a relationship deeper than something just sexual. She also knew, however, that Dave found her seductive. There was no harm in having casual fun. On the account of her 1) possessing functional eyes and 2) not being a hermit, she knew as well that their mutual friend and poker partner Ryan Summers 1) had a gorgeous face and 2) a fit body to go with it, as his high-profile entertainment projects loved reminding international audiences year after year. Even though he was sorely lacking in mental and emotional depth, well… a game that would end in her probably getting frisky with a sinewy hot detective whose mind and heart she admired, her shallow but physically beautiful male friend, or both? It sounded nonetheless perfect at the time. She hadn’t considered the possibility that her agent would send her an URGENT! text right as the damn thing commenced. — Dave won another hand. A detective of quite nonpareil ability, he had noticed despite the assumption (the very same one which allowed them to be playing strip poker by themselves) they're both men (truth) who were heterosexual (well...) that Ryan flirted with him. He knew Ryan knew he was flirting back. He knew this game was one big flirtation. Ryan took off the final layer of clothing that covered his upper body. Dave knew his friend was an action superstar. He knew action superstars’ chests were required to look defined, and he knew this particular one’s did. He’d seen Summers films. All his knowledge and logic pointed to the terribly lovely sight now in front of him and below the face that by itself was unbearably beauteous. Dave’s jaw had no business wanting to unclench in surprise at the other’s physique, for he shouldn’t be surprised. (His jaw slacked anyway. It wasn’t out of surprise.) He knew. He knew he had one utterly beautiful friend. — Each day, Ryan Summers implored the heavens to let his son form memories far from his own: Goddamn authority figures like teachers, in the hopes that the Summers kid’s celebrity father would intervene, creating trouble for Ryan when he avoided it. Reporters and people with no journalistic interests alike who, after he’d grown up and become a celebrity in his own right, pretending to be kind so they could gain from the grace of his presence. Women endeavoring to reach the inside of his bedroom with nothing but flattery leaving their lips—implicitly but unmistakably making clear that they expected him to replace whatever imperfect personality he really had with one-dimensional movie superheroes’ for the sake of their fantasies. Dave Reyes was disingenuous too. He lied often, or at the very least concealed his motivations and whole truths. The detective had a gift for perceiving others’ buttons, and he’d pushed Ryan’s for some agenda so many times. One significant difference was that there was a sort of honesty to his deceiving. They were keenly conscious of each other’s Machiavellian streaks; there was reciprocal acceptance. Another was that Dave did so (usually) for honorable reasons. He wasn’t after the attention of gossip rags; despite his reputation and inarguably existent hedonistic side, he was committed to doing good and doing well at his vocation. And on the occasions he showed some sincerity, Ryan could tell Dave was authentically sweet—a veritable friend cognizant of who he was as an individual, personality faults not excluded, and regardless highly fond. Ryan won a hand as the electropop song on the radio repeated its chorus: “My heart finally told me to stop wasting my time!” He sang along while they verified his triumph. He was a dreadful singer; Dave laughed, not unkindly. (He found it endearing.) “Hey, help me with these buttons.” Now… Ryan, though not investigator material, wasn’t stupid. Detective David Reyes definitely knew how to unfasten some fucking buttons. As he closed the distance anyway, Dave was in motion too. They leaned into a kiss. Kissing Ryan, for Dave, evoked none of the actor’s rough, adrenaline-driven films; but it was no less charming. It’s… a shock because of tenderness, quite astonishingly redolent of literature apropos love untainted and true that he almost felt guilty about thoroughly enjoying the more sensual aspects of what was going on. Dave’s phone rang. They stopped. He checked: 1 missed call from Alyssa Griffin. SMS messages from Alyssa Griffin.

ALYSSA GRIFFIN: The radio was on earlier…. The song playing… “My heart finally told me to stop wasting my time”…. I have something important to tell you, Dave.

In following minutes, Dave prepared to leave and meet with Alyssa. He and Ryan tacitly agreed to pretend as if the loss of restraint hadn’t taken place. The latter felt compelled, apparently, to declare: “I’m not gay.” Before Dave could misclassify it as denial of queerness that’d prove futile ultimately, Ryan explained, “I like kissing other men and I like kissing other types of people too.” Dave was a bit taken aback by this mature certitude. He took a momentary pause to analyze what he was dealing with. No, Ryan wasn’t lying. Dave couldn’t help wondering, however, if Ryan thought and hoped being outed as bisexual instead of gay would “soften the blow”. He turned and gave his friend one final kiss—this one as soft, this last one as genuine as the first. “For good luck.” For both of us. Comprehension was dawning on Ryan. There would be no blow. Not with Dave. Ryan Summers trusted Dave Reyes. He did, truly. It’s a faith strongly, strongly placed. — Alyssa, upon Dave’s arrival, withheld the confession all three believed she would finally have enough bravery to make. Ryan and Dave sought not to continue and sort out their feelings for one another. There was so much time left for them to waste. — other notes: it took me every shred of willpower i had left (which i presumed was zero but i have an indeterminate amount remaining nice) to not call this “start of something new” (after the high scho*l musical song. i listened to it a lot as i worked on this) or “crazy for you” (after the m*donna single. i also listened to it a lot as i worked on this) final title is from ch*rli xcx’s “take my hand” in addition to elv*s pr*sley’s “can’t help falling in love” because i’m emo like that (i hate elv*s he was a shitty person but i love that song and they never get the chance to fall in romantic love in this fic so :) but i like to think that in any universe, including canon, these boiz deeply love each other in different manners)

Survey #65

“i couldn’t take my eyes off her, but that’s not what i took off that night.”

have you ever wanted to travel to germany? i have, yes. if we happen to be blessed with quite a good income, i'd really like to do that once i have children, go on a big family trip to germany. i'd need to brush up on my german, though! is marijuana legal for "recreational use" where you live? also what is your opinion on the recent legalization of marijuana in certain states? i don't think it is... but the whole legalization shit is stupid. you will never convince me that marijuana isn't dangerous. don't legalize dangerous shit. do you usually have bad symptoms around "that time of the month"? i'd say i'm luckier than most, now that i've been on the pill. i get mild cramps, headaches, and i usually break out a bit. how do you feel about being called sweetie/dear/honey/etc.? i'd have no problem with it. jason never called me any of those listed though, just "love," which was my favorite anyway. do you have your national flag hanged up anywhere outside your house? no, we don't. would you ever go to japan? omg yes!! have you ever been in a choir?  i was in the church, yes. have you ever had a speech impediment? i stutter pretty badly. give out your phone number over the internet? i have to VERY few people. what do people usually think your ethnicity is? it's pretty obvious i'm caucasian. how do you feel about people using graphic images as a scare tactic to promote their beliefs? (i.e.: peta, abortion…) do it. DO IT. it may be "too much" for someone, but that's how you initiate action, sometimes. now i mean if you're going to show something ludicrously morbid or something, sure, censor that, please. some things truly are too much. do you think gender neutral bathrooms are a good idea? i'm neutral. how about the transgender bathroom business? you know exactly what i'm talking about. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TUMBLR WOULD FUCKING CLOSE MY ACCOUNT IF I SAID ONE WORD ABOUT THIS MATTER. what are some of your favorite websites for online shopping? rebel's market makes me moist. do you think it’s fair that people are able to make a reasonable salary and live comfortable lives just by making youtube videos? not in the slightest. they're entertainers. just like singers, comedians, etc... inspired by an event at my school: why do you think there’s so much girl-on-girl hate in our culture? because the country's homophobic. do you have a nice yard? if so, do you spend a lot of time outside in it? if not, where do you go when you want to relax outdoors on nice days? there's nothing special about it. and there's nowhere for me to relax if i wanna go outside. we have no chairs outside or whatever. is there a group of friends that you used to hang out with but no longer do? why don’t you hang out anymore and how do you feel about them now? i'll admit i was a loose "member" of the gothic/emo/scene/metalheads/whatever clique in high school. because i identified most with them. like we all sat together at lunch and such. it was hilarious, actually; overlooking the cafeteria, there'd just be this big splotch of black. xD i didn't "know" everyone in the group, just names, just select people. i miss a good number of them. we just had this... weird, underlying connection that said "hey, you're like me." how many siblings does your significant other or crush have? he has one older brother. what is the movie that you have waited the longest for/which film do you remember anticipating the most/are still anticipating? WHERE THE FUCK IS "THE INCREDIBLES II" do you have any ideas for a story or movie you’re planning to write or you’d write if you got the time/had the talent? please share a synopsis! i had plenty of story ideas as a kid, but none i never fully went through, except one. i don't feel like sharing, mostly because i barely remember it. what is something that an interested guy/girl could comment about you, that would make you instantly open to them (e.g., “that book you’re reading is from my favorite author”)? i wouldn't just magically say "OKAY I TRUST YOU," but it would in fact entice me to trust you easier. probably if you mentioned being a gmm fan. do you refer to yourself by any sort of fan nickname (belieber, little monster, etc.)? mythical beast, motherfucker! \m/ do you ever just get lazy and give up on your friendships? no. if you think you're going to "get lazy" with a friendship, omg, just fuck off. if you are single, even if you are normally happily single, are there certain specific things you witness that make you wish you were in a relationship (e.g., people getting engaged)? honestly, i constantly wish i was. that sounds very desperate and... easy-to-get-ish, but i'm not lying about myself on my own blog. single life is very lonely to me personally. i think almost every human seeks knowing someone is interested in them in that sense and will always be there. out of all your usernames for websites, which one is your favorite? do you use it for more than one site? my name almost everywhere is "ozzkat," which i really like, as it combines two of my favorite things. are there any cities near you that you’re afraid to go to because of the crime rate or its other bad reputations? fuck sharpsburg. where i grew up. do you grandparents ever judge you or stick their heads in your business? if not, is there someone else in your life you dread seeing because of their unwanted input? my maternal grandmother is... ugh. she's very closed-minded about important issues; like she only JUST recently opened up her mind to mental illnesses because of some drama in my family transpiring. so for a long time, my illnesses were invalid to her. last time i saw her though, we got along quite well. have you ever spent the whole day (or multiple days) just looking up one thing on the internet (e.g., videos of your favorite band, how-to videos, quizzes, etc.)? ha ha omg just a few days back i spent all day with colleen and chels looking up tats, pinning all those i wanted on pinterest! if you ever think about getting married, what are some aspects of the wedding that you would like to see in a non-traditional manner (e.g., a different color dress or “partners” over “husband” and “wife”)? well first, i do not want a church wedding, and i'm sliiightly considering a black dress to go with the gothic theme i'm hoping for. do you ask for other people's opinions often? on what subjects do you like to get the opinions or advice of others? yes, i love asking for other people's opinions, mainly when i'm about to make a controversial decision. god bless the few friends i have that've always been there to give me advice when i need it. what are you religious views or your thoughts on religion in general? how long did it take you to develop them? are you still confused or trying to figure out your religious views? i am a creationist christian, meaning i do not believe in evolution, but natural selection, as they go in opposite directions. this is a VERY fascinating subject and i'd love to give anyone curious a link to the blog post that instilled this belief in me. i also believe the world was not created in six literal days, but rather the "days" stood for junctures of time. i'm not sure which christian denomination that is. i was raised a catholic, so i've literally always believed in god, but i turned to christianity alone in high school i think, as well as creationism when my former best friend mini exposed me to it. i am not confused in my religion, no. i'm quite confident in it. are you a rule follower? do you get angry if other people break the rules? can you remember a time that you have broken a rule? it depends on the rule, really. ex. i won't kill a person, but i'll download a song illegally. all depends on what it is, if i support the rule, or if it's legally punishable, honestly. what songwriter do you consider to be one of the best lyricists? CRADLE OF FILTH AND OTEP OMG SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY have you ever cried from physical pain? as an adult? yeah. i fucking sobbed when i was getting my cyst emptied. what do you like best about taking surveys? do you use them to discuss current events in your personal life? i like that they give me a chance to just... vent. i get to talk about my life, yes, and i at least believe i can do it without being lectured. do you feel comfortable being about people your own age? do you feel like you "fit in" with people your age? in general, do you like spending time with people older or younger than yourself? i feel... inferior to most people my age, honestly. i don't think i fit in because i do far more unimpressive things compared to most people of my age group. i'm not in school, i have no job, i'm not traveling to europe, i'm not married, i'm not raising a kid... i just don't feel like i belong. simultaneously though, i like hanging out with people older than me because they're usually more mature. have you ever read more than one book at once? do you do this often? i'm sure i have for school, but i don't do that anymore. i don't read period. what is your favorite book series, and what is your favorite book out of that series? ha ha omg i was MAD into the "warriors" (you know, the cat books) series in middle school through some of high school. maybe even in elementary, i don't remember. i don't have a favorite book in the series though, i think. who do you think reads these? *shrugs* i've seen my surveys taken before by people (easy to tell when everything's lower-cased and long as fuck lmao), so i guess they may read some of my answers while adding in their own. some random tumblr users find them too, probably. can you change the oil on a car? i cannot. the first time you discovered power: ... i don't want to go into much detail on this, because after i thought about this question for a minute or so, i realized i have only ever felt power in a sexual situation. i'm such a submissive person and just don't experience feeling powerful. after thinking just now, i think me being such the sexual tease i am has to do with feeling powerful. this is... really wrong, but i enjoyed the anticipatory knowing that jason wanted me a certain way, and because he's a man with respect, i had the say whether he could have me or not. please do not confuse this for me saying i was controlling with my ex-boyfriend, i was incredibly submissive to him in general, but i felt in control in some sense. for once. SCARIEST video game monster? but... i've played so many horror games!! uhhhh... well, i HATED the regenerators in "resident evil 4." that fucking smile was horrifying. hmmm... i also really hate/love the keeper/boxhead from "the evil within" bECAUSE OF HIS FUCKING WALK/JOG. THAT thing storming towards you like that? NO THANKS! the one monster, however, that i think would frighten me the most in real life would be the clickers from "the last of us." fuck those things. they're disgusting and horrid. something someone said or did that you found extremely attractive: well i mean, tons of things. the thing that i believe affected me the most though was probably the time jason, in a whisper, called me his wife while we were "doing things." he started out so afraid of commitment, and to hear him call me that in such a confident-sounding whisper, it meant... a lot. but well. he's gone now. something you've done that someone at least seemed to FIND extremely attractive: lmaaoooo i'm open af on tumblr but the thing i've ever done i think jason found the most attractive, i shall not repeat. i promise, you'd thank me. the farthest distance you would travel now to be with someone you desire: for jason? i'd go to the other end of the planet. what you dislike most about having a committed relationship: i mean, i guess after you've been with someone so long, you're afraid of leaving the person even when necessary for your health. if you're in a healthy relationship though, there's nothing i can really think of to complain about... your sexiest feature: ... can hands be sexy? because they're the only thing i like lmao the physical feature for which you are most often complimented: my hair, def. a place where you have always wanted to make love: ... a church fucking murder me the most perverted situation you have ever been in: LOLOLOL LET'S NOT the first time you achieved orgasm: i never have, but i think i got like agonizingly close once and had a panic attack because i didn't understand what was going on. yes, i am truly that pathetic lmao. a person you regret sleeping with: no one. a person you regret not sleeping with: first i don't regret literally sleeping with jason, but i'm assuming in this context, you mean "having sex with." in that case, jason. a fantastic kisser you have known: only ever kissed jason, and i am QUITE sure there's no one i'll meet who'll be better. like ffs he only had one partner before me and certain things he did with me he didn't with his ex, yet he always seemed to know what to do...? the book, song, or movie title that best describes your sexuality: uhhh. idk? you have a great amount of guilt regarding: practically sexting my former best friend's boyfriend when i was like 12. and i was the one who got them together. a moment in your life when your emotions froze and you felt absolutely nothing: when jason told me he was talking to dillon about our relationship in a negative context... i knew. you are haunted by the memory of: everyone knows by now. one of your most peaceful moments: lying with jason on the trampoline, looking up at the stars... a sickness or disease you fear: more than anything? alzheimer's/dementia. i can't forget. i can't. i don't care how tragic my life's been, i don't want to fucking forget. a reason for which you would seriously contemplate suicide: if jason died. i'd more than consider it. your greatest fear about marriage: divorce. marriage is supposed to be for forever; i don't want to marry the wrong person. what's your mood right this minute? i'm actually... okay-ish. for once in my life. i'm talking to my friend jax about a private subject, and it's opening my mind to some possibilities about certain things. i feel like a weight's crumbling from my shoulders. ever had an internal worm? NONONONONONONONONO PLEASE GOD NEVER THEY TERRIFY ME FUCK THAT have you ever been in a lighthouse? no, but i'd love to. :< do you find that you have a certain meal you eat every time you go to certain restaurants? i always get the same meal when i go to any restaurant. you have the option to have sex right now. do you do it? only if it's with jason, yeah. would you ever lie to someone to make them feel good about themselves? depends on the subject. do any medical problems run in your family? OHHH GOD HERE GOES. let's see. heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer, depression, anxiety, bipolarity, and i can absolutely guarantee i'm forgetting some... something you really want right now? i'd rather not say. have you cuddled with someone you weren’t dating? i have not. how long have you been using tumblr? not even a year yet. what was the last pill you took? idk. i take my morning pills in bulk. where was the last place you got completely wasted? i've never been completely wasted. describe god: i'd... rather not with how life is right now. your most spiritual moment: i still believe i had a dream once sent to me by god. when i was much younger, i had a dream that i walked outside onto my front porch, and two geese, one white, one black, flew in sync with each other to perch before me. they morphed into my grandfather, who smiled at me, and my former cat midnight, who meowed. i really do feel like this was god reminding me my loved ones will always watch over me, because the feeling it gave me, it was holy. how you picture the end of the world: the biblical definition, i guess. pretty much everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. it sounds terrifying. do you feel that most wars started because of religious conflicts? i am honestly not knowledgeable about aaaall the wars in our history to determine this answer fairly. i do, however, believe a good majority are related to religion. does life exist on other planets? no. speaking of "life on other planets," isn't it funny how a trace of water on mars is called life, but an unborn fetus isn't?? do you believe we are descendants of adam and eve? yes, i do. the first step toward resolving poverty: hunny, i wish i could tell you. there are a LOT of factors to this. the worst crime against humanity: hm. i honestly don't know what i consider the worst. i'll think about that and come back to this question if i think of anything. the minimum punishment for those who molest children should be: fucking kill them. your most beautiful childhood memory of your parents: probably something regarding fishing... your most horrifying childhood memory of your parents: hearing my mom screaming in ashley's room, calling her a slut, a whore, worrying i'd be in ashley's place some day... a friend you would name as a godparent to your child: if we're even still friends then... colleen. the moment you are most ashamed of: i've told this story enough times. it's the same moment i'm most embarrassed of. someone who shared this moment with you: um. his name is joel. what do you think of people who have fake relationship statuses (like married to their best friend) on facebook? i mean it's whatever, but it may be frustrating if you wanna know if that person is really in a relationship without asking. if your employer looked at your facebook page, do you think they'd fire you? lmao after seeing i'm conservative, i'm sure. do you wish facebook had a "dislike" button or would that cause too many arguments? i'm neutral. i see both sides. who's your favorite band? how long have they been your favorite? ozzy and metallica have been two of favorites since middle school started, and the others, i don't really remember. my most recent favorite band tho is a day to remember, who i've liked for a bit over a year now. do you get annoyed when people try to get you to like their music, even though you've told them before that it's just not your thing? that's never really happened to me. now, i've been told my music is pretty much devil music and is nothing about depression, death, and despair because my best friend's fucking ignorant, but she hasn't tried to control the kind of music i like exactly. last concert you were at? was it good? alice cooper, and it was EPIC. it was storming and we were all soaking wet outside. he did that illusion where his head gets chopped off by a guillotine, which was REALLY cool. towards the end, huge balls were being passed through the crowd and he sang a rendition of "another brick in the wall" by pink floyd and it was just. holy shit it was badass. who was your favorite band in elementary school? do you still listen to them? it was probably green day, and yeah, i love them. looking at your appearance alone, would people be surprised to learn that you listen to the music that you do (ex. do you dress goth but listen to country)? it's pretty obvious what i listen to. pro-gay rights or anti-gay rights? i am for rights towards certain parts of the LGBTQ+ community. i'm sorry to tell you, but i sincerely believe there are... certain sexual/gender-oriented decisions... that are not "real." i won't go into detail on tumblr because it's a liberal parade and frankly i don't feel like hearing it. separation of church and state or no? DEPENDS DEPENDS DEPENDS. it REALLY depends on the very unique situation. prayer in school, yay or nay? you'd best let a child pray to themselves in school. free healthcare (like in canada), good or bad? make it free, yes. using the word "slut" against women--okay or not okay? against a woman who deserves it? sure. before every fucking reader gets triggered, a slut is merely defined as a feminine character who has multiple sexual partners without much commitment. ummm, last time i checked, there are women who do JUST that??? it's just a fact??? i'm white. you can call me white without fucking offending me. same thing for a "slut," i'd merely be stating a fact about you. people have made such a big fucking deal out of this word. if you were pregnant, how long would you wait to write something about it on facebook? OH BOY IT'D BE QUICK. probably right after my husband knew, really! i've already got pregnancy announcements planned! i want to make a really creative pregnancy announcement photograph with my hubby, those are like... my favorite pictures ever. (: when you're on a first date with someone, do you like it when they ASK if they can kiss you? i'm not really into the idea of a first date kiss, but yeah, i think i'd appreciate being asked. in your opinion, is omitting some of the truth the same thing is lying? hm. i do believe i- well... i don't know. it depends on what you say, i guess, but in general, you're not lying yet...? what's your favorite kind of lip piercing? (monroe, labret, snakebites, etc.) vertical labret!!! i really like these because i feel it enunciates the symmetry of your face. what's the most annoying "type" of drunk person? well i mean, this is far more repulsive than annoying, but angry drunks. at what time in your life were you happiest? if it was in the past, would you want to go back and relive it, though still knowing all the things you know now? if you had the option, would you choose (if it’s in the present) or have chosen to stay here/there forever and never learn anything new? the whole time i was dating jason. the first one or two years were the best. but would i go back there, knowing what i do now? no. i can't. there's no way i could. when is the right time to start having sex with someone you’ve become romantically interested in? honestly this is the same thing as a question i answered earlier today about when to consider getting engaged. time doesn't really determine this, but rather the intensity of the bond created. in general again though, i'd personally wait about a year, i suppose, to ensure you're both very serious about these feelings. if you honestly heard the voice of god talking to you, would you tell anyone? how would you tell them? (i.e., "Conversations with god" is a result of the author claiming to have heard god’s voice loud and clear, but some people would have gone packing to the mental institution, and others would have told their church… etc.) i would hate that, honestly. i don't wanna be hearing voices, regardless of who you are. but i do believe i'd tell my mom, but probably only her. have your parents ever told you that you couldn’t hang out with a certain someone? that i couldn't, no, that they didn't recommend it, yes. could you forgive a boyfriend or friend who physically hurt you? LMAO NOPE BYE FAM do you take care of your friends when they’re sick? the only person i've ever truly taken care of when sick was jason when he had bronchitis. do you own any real diamonds or other expensive jewelry? i don't think so. has anyone ever gave you jewelry as a present? mhmm. do you like diamonds or gemstones better? other gemstones, def. silver or gold? gold. i find it prettier and i can't wear silver anyway, i'm allergic. what kind of soda is your favorite? mountain dew, shamefully. do you use any acne products? not anymore. what do you take when you have an upset stomach? peptobismol do you get angry when people criticize your taste in music, or do you just shrug it off? when people say they don't like it, not at all, but if you're gonna straight-up criticize it like it's "bad" or "wrong" or something...? i won't get angry, but definitely annoyed. i find it aesthetically pleasing. you find your music aesthetically pleasing. shut the fuck up. have you ever smoked? i have not.
