Hello could I get a ship pls. Names Crystal, She/Her, INFP-T, love languages are receiving gifts and acts of service, my hobbies include: crocheting (most of the time I hardly finish a project 💀), baking, and roller derby, some of my goals are to get into college to study environmental science, some of my interests are the paranormal, cryptids and Botany, what i look for in a partner is someone who is loyal, can help me out of my shell occasionally but also understands if the situation becomes to wild overwhelming they can pull back and protective, but also knows how to relax and have fun from time to time, i'm 5'1, and you can use any of the guys! I like the surprise. Thank you!

Hi friend!! Thank you so much for sending in a request!! Also thank you so much for your patience lmao 😅🩷 Also I saw that you like cryptids in your ask and got really excited🤣🤣 Anywho thank you again and hope you enjoy!!

I ship you with...

Babe Heffron!

A song from my playlist that reminds me of y’all’s relationship - I Was Made for Lovin’ You by KISS

How you met

You were investigating the forests of Bastogne looking for the Mahwot

You knew there was some fighting going on in the forest but you were being careful...mostly

You pull a Hinkel and drop into a Nazi foxhole

You try to pull yourself out but the soldier, not knowing you were just cryptid hunting, tries to grab you and take you back to their CP

All of a sudden you feel someone dragging you out of the foxhole and away from the German soldier

The two of you keep running for a bit before your mysterious hero stops you both

Between breaths you hear him say “Are you fucking nuts?! What’re you doing out here!?”

You look up at him with embarrassment in your eyes and

First off babe is just WOW

S T U N N E D by how gorgeous you are

“Um… I was just… looking for a creature…” you say quietly

“W-well you should’ve asked for help! You looking for the mahwot?” He puts on a charming smile but it fails to cover up the nerves he’s feeling

You’re super surprised he knows what that is but before you can say anything you hear a voice yell “Hey Heffron! Where’d you go!?”

He looks towards the voice with…disappointment? Did he want to talk to you more?

“I gotta go, but look me up when the war’s over ok? I’m Babe Heffron”

He gives you an adorable smile and wink before heading back

“And stay away from the foxholes!!”

How he knew he loves you

So it’s after the war and you got a job working for the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources

Your current work assignment takes you to Philadelphia

After a hard but rewarding day you’re relaxing in a bar when you hear

“Hey! If it ain’t the mahwot hunter!”

You’d recognize that voice anywhere

You turn around and it’s none other than Babe Heffron taking the seat next to you

He buys you a drink and you banter and chat well into the night

It may have been only the second time he’s met you, but he knew then and there you were the one for him

He could tell you were rather reserved but opened up about the things you enjoy, like cryptids and nature and roller derby

You had this look on your face, it was so full of wonder and awe at the things you love and he was just SOLD

Plus you were so kind and sweet when he was sharing things about himself like he’s never felt so loved and accepted by anyone except Guarnere

Y’all were there until last call and the rest was history

A conflict that arose and how y’all solved it

So every other week you and Babe have a date night with Guarnere and Frannie

Y’all were at a nice restaurant just vibing and living your best life

The waiter was nicer than usual but it was nice, even though Babe seemed to get kinda tense whenever the waiter was around?

The tension grew all night until finally Babe just got up and left the restaurant

While you were asking Guarnere what was happening the waiter came back to your table and

“I have to ask, miss, was that man your date? Because, if not, I would be honored to take you to dinner sometime”

Suddenly everything made sense

You sprinted from the restaurant without answering the waiter or a word to Guarnere

Fortunately the restaurant was walking distance from y’all’s apartment so you briskly make your way back home and rush in through the door

Babe is pouting on the couch, arms folded

“Babe, darling, can we talk?”

“Wouldn’t you rather talk to your fucking waiter?”

That stung… Babe never got jealous, so this was new territory for both of you

You kneel beside him and place your hand gently on his knee, looking up at him with sincerity

“Babe, I had no idea he was trying to come onto me, otherwise I would’ve stopped it”

He scoffed and rolled his eyes

“Crystal, he was throwing compliment after compliment at you”

“I thought he was just being nice! He tried to ask me out after you left, that’s when it hit me…”

Babe’s eyes finally met yours, his expression softening

“So you really had no idea he was flirting?”

You shook your head no and saw Babe breathe a sigh of relief

“It felt like you were interested in him… like you wanted him over me”

The words were barely audible, Babe staring at his hands in his lap

Your heart just broke

You gently took Babe’s face in your hands and turned him to look at you

“Edward, there is NO ONE on this earth I would rather be with than you, you have brought more joy to my life than I’ve ever thought possible, I can’t imagine my life without you”

Both of you had tears welling up in your eyes before Babe closed the space between you with a gentle, loving kiss

“I love you babe” “I love you too doll”

You spend the rest of the night in comfy clothes and binging ghost-hunting shows

Guarnere showed up later angry that he got stuck with the bill but that’s another story for another day

Your happily ever after (what your relationship looks like!)

CRYPTID BUDDYYYYYY

The two of you go out all the time to look for cryptids

You also go to the Mothman festival every year

It’s honestly kind of adorable because during the day Babe is like so sweet and encouraging and gently pushing you out of your comfort zone but it always turns out okay because he’s there to help you and support and love you

But at night when you’re hunting cryptids he goes into protective mode

Like EVERY little noise causes him to pull you close and a little behind him, like he will fight Bigfoot if he has to and he’s not afraid to do it

Honestly y’all are just that couple that is so in love and has all of the inside jokes that you say together but no one but you two understand them

A silly headcannon about your relationship!

Ok so for your birthday he took y’all on a trip to Scotland to look for Nessie

Y’all were on a boat with other tourists and it was lots of fun but a little crowded

Babe being protective and adorable tried to use his body to shield you from the crowd but from all the bumping and pushing he just

He fell into the loch

The boat had to turn around to get him and it was a whole thing but also so stinking funny

He has never lived it down

Also Baby Boy SWEARS Nessie touched his foot and he will die on this hill

Thank you again for the request love!! hope you like your adventures with Babe 🥰💕

Quarantine Questions

Tagged by the lovely @pikapeppa ! Here we go:

Are you staying home from work/school?

Sadly, I work at a hardware store, which has been deemed "essential", so I'm still going to work as usual. Thankfully it's died down since our governor issued a shelter in place order last week, but for a couple of weeks, it got freaking crazy. I guess people just can't live without their gardens for one year.

If you're staying home, who's there with you?

My cat is staying patiently at home for me, as always, and my roommate, an older woman, has been self-quarantining the way she should. (Good on her, I say. We're still getting our regulars at work who are popping in three times a day for tiny purchases, or to just chat with the store manager, like everything's normal, and that's driving me bonkers. Especially because we're in between roughly five retirement communities, so most of our clientele is high-risk. And since I work retail, I don't have health insurance, but I can't tell people to go tf home.)

Are you a homebody?

Oh, gods, yes. If I didn't have to work, I'd be doing just fine staying holed up in my room right now. A friend who's much more social than I am asked how I was holding up, and I had to be honest and said "Things haven't changed all that much for me--I go to work, I come home, I hide from the world, I hang out with no one." INTROVERT FOR THE WIN WUT WUT

What movies have you watched recently?  What shows are you watching?

Let's see. Before my Netflix got turned off (one of the perils of leeching off of someone else's account), I binged The Letter For The King. Before that (before things got really bad, but when we knew it was coming) I finished another re-watch of The Witcher and Queer Eye. In the last few days, I've watched Into The Spider-Verse, The Gamers: Dorkness Rising and The Gamers: Hands of Fate.

An event you were looking forward to that got cancelled?

I was supposed to have my panel interview to get into the local electrician's union on March 19th. That got cancelled five days before it was supposed to happen. They're not predicting the union hall will open again until April 26th at the earliest, so if I'm lucky, I'll finally get my interview in May. Why'd a pandemic have to happen the year I decided to finally get off my ass and get my life back together?

What music are you listening to?

I've been on a folk kick lately, and dance remixes of folk music. I found this really awesome remix of Drunken Sailor which I can't stop jamming to. Also the PotC theme, and some good ol' electroswing.

What are you reading?

Slowly working my way through Tevinter Nights, thanks to @kittimau sharing a link in the Rowdy Scouty Discord. I'd prefer a paper copy, but I'm old-school like that, and at least with it on my phone, it's super-portable. I'm also trying to stay caught up on my favorite fanfictions. (What am I gonna do when Winds ends? *sad*)

What are you doing for self-care?

Keeping my room clean (it becomes a Depression Mess real easily, so I gotta stay on top of that), working on various crochet projects that have been abandoned (plus my commissions from before the plague), going through the bins in my closet to try to get those organized/consolidated and to find my witchy supplies, making sure I go for walks still (and lemme tell ya, social distancing is the best thing to ever happen to my walks--for the first time in years, nobody acts like I'm the weirdo for not saying 'hi' to strangers and giving them a wide berth as I pass). I'm trying to exercise more actively beyond walking, but there's so many other things to do. I'm also staying active on social media, making sure to chat with my friends both near and far fairly regularly, and honestly, otherwise just living life as normal. I rarely left the house except for essentials before all of this, so I haven't had to change much about my life since. I guess I'm lucky in that sense.

Have a COVID-19 selfie, since that's what all the cool kids are doing:

Fight the plague, but make it fashion

Tagging @schoute, @lostinfantasies38, @lyrium-lovesong, @sharkapologists, @cornfedcryptid, and anyone else who wants to play!
