friends on vacation | mattheo riddle x reader x slytherin squad
mini series pt. 1
summary: you and your friends go on vacation before you start your last year at hogwarts. Letâs just say it getâs interesting between you and your best friend Mattheo.
warnings: modern slytherin group, vacation to spain, cursing, making out, touching a little, lap dance, hickeys, kissing pansy as friends in game, english is not my first language
Enzo, Blaise, Draco, Theodore, Mattheo, Pansy and me. We all sat together at my house around a big round table. My parents and I had a big house in New York, living there when the wizard world got a little too much.
It wasnât the first time that I had all of my friends over, we were inseparable. Everybody knew. So after a few years I showed them a little of my second world, leaving them no choice but to like it. Just like me, they liked to escape our world sometimes, leaving all the monsters and unicorns behind for some relaxing. Just like now.
"So.. where do we wanna go, huh?" Theodore asked into the round, lightning his cigarette.
"Why donât we think about what kind of vacation we want first?" I said, taking my Ipad in front of me and opening my vacation apps. " Please somewhere near the beach. I wanna tan and weâre around the forest and mountains all the time in Hogwarts." Pansy said, stretching her legs over Dracoâs and Blaiseâs laps who were sitting on my garden couch.
"Yeah I agree, If I see one more forest Iâm gonna die." Blaise joins the conversation with a dramatic sigh at the end.
Mattheo and Draco teased each other at the meantime like little kids, throwing their cherry pits at each other.
"What about Italy? Thereâs beach and sun." Enzo asks, sitting on the grass beneath us, playing with my dog. "Nah, I already live there thatâs no vacation for me." Theo answers, shaking his head and blowing out some smoke while speaking.
"I have an idea! Spain is beautiful and itâs really hot there too, perfect to tan. I was there a few years ago with my parents. And the flight from there back to Hogwarts isnât that long. 2-3 hours I think." I suggested and looked around the table, all eyes on me now.
"Where exactly in Spain?" Mattheo asks me, sitting right next to me on a second couch, throwing a pit at Draco again. " Alicante is a great vacation spot. Lots of palms, beach, great fruits and sun. You guys will love it." I smile, already looking for flights for the next days.
"Sounds fine to me." Enzo shrugs, smiling up at me while the rest of our group joins in with "great idea" and some "letâs do this".
2 days later
" Oh my god its beautiful! " Pansy says, stunned at the apartment I booked for us. "Wow, what a view. You really did a great job y/n." Blaise agrees.
The apartment has indeed a beautiful view, you can see the ocean right in front of us even tho itâs night, you could see it because of all the lights from the little shops and restaurants along the ocean.
"Soo I booked this apartment with the balcony, 3 bathrooms which should be enough for us and 5 bedrooms. Pansy and Draco will share due obvious reasons." I started looking at them. "Also a kitchen so we can.. i dinât know, have breakfast or have some snacks if everything is closed at night. And this big fat living room weâre standing in."
" Blaise is right, you really did a great job at that." Mattheo grins, standing right next to me and looking around the living room.
We all settled in and unpacked our things. Pansy and I marked the biggest bathroom with our makeup and skincare stuff so the boys directly knew its our territory.
"Hey guys Theodore and I are going to a store, getting some groceries." Enzo shouted trough the apartment before walking outside the door with Theo.
"Pansy and me are showering!" I shouted so theyâd know what weâre up to.
Mattheo and Draco looked at each other, before storming off the couch and sprinting to our bathroom only to realise the door was already locked. "Ugh."
I laughed at them together with Pansy as I shook my head. I took off my makeup as Pansy already got in the shower. "Mattheo is so smitten by you itâs obvious." She laughs, shampooing her hair.
"You know weâre just friends, Pansy." I say, cheekly smiling. Mattheo and I are best friends since first grade. All of us got friends real quick. Mattheo and Draco knew each other because the Malfoyâs raised him for Voldemort. Pansy got a crush on Draco and didnât leave his side. Pansy and I had to share a dorm in Hogwarts which made us best friends too really fast. I met Enzo at my first class as he was my partner for the whole year. Blaise met Draco in the common room as they battled for the coolest broom. Thatâs how we kind of found our way to each other and I wouldnât want to change it for a second.
"Yeah but he looks at you different as he looks at me for example." she answers. "Yeah because youâre with Draco and he would chop Mattheoâs dick off!" I laugh before joining her in the shower.
"No y/n, because he likes you a little more than just friends do. And hey Iâm not saying he loves you but all Iâm saying is that there is a little spark between the two of you."
Mattheo and I liked to flirt with each other a lot but we never really did something about it because weâre just friends. And we just like to flirt for fun. Thats it. I think..
As we were ready we put on some clothes and walked outside the bathroom, our hair still wet from the shower. Pansy sat next to Draco, putting her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her. I had to smile at them, they always made me smile no matter what they did. Draco always acted cold towards eveyone around him, besides from his friends of course, we are like family. But he acted really warm around her which made me happy for both of them.
I sat down between Blaise and Mattheo, making myself comfortable laying my legs over Blaise his lap and my head on Mattheoâs tigh. "Why am I always getting your girls legs?" Blaise complains with a little smile on his face. "Oh shut up you love my legs." I say winking at him which just made him laugh and shaking his head.
A few seconds later I felt a hand in my hair, massaging my scalp which made me purr a little. "Like that?" Mattheo asks, grinning down at me. "You know I do, Matty." I sigh, closing my eyes and enjoying his touch. "Your hair smells really good when itâs wet. What is it, peach?" he asks me and lowers his head a little bit to my hair. " Oh so my hair only smells good when itâs wet? But yes, it is peach indeed." Mattheo chuckles at my answer. "No it always smells great. It just smells more intense when itâs wet."
Suddenly I heard a gagging noice which made me lift my head and see Blaise fake gagging. "Can you two take a room?"
"Youâre just jelous because youâre alone." Draco snickers from the side, stroking Pansyâs back. I laugh at his comment before I get a death glare from Blaise.
We all get interrupted by our phoneâs ringing. I take mine out if my pocket just like the rest did and saw a notification from our group chat. Yes, I made them get a phone a year ago but they all only used it between the holidays. Never in Hogwarts. But I did and I also made everyone of them an instagram account a while ago but Theo, he only joined this week.
Theodore: Yo guys weâre on our way with all the groceries get ready for some drinks! And aye y/n this app you showed me is fuuuull of hot girl why didnât you show me sooner dude! *picture attached*
I laugh at his message just like the others do and answer him.
Y/N: I told you but you didnât want to join! đ¤ Iâm getting the glasses đ
As i send the message i stand up and walk towards the kitchen to get some glasses and shot glasses. "Iâm gonna help." Mattheo speaks as he stands up from his spot and follows me.
As I grab some glasses from a shelf above me, I feel his presence behind me. "Are you smelling my hair again?" "Yeah itâs kind of addicting." He admits and kisses the top of my head before he grabs some glasses too and brings them back to the living room and sets them on the table in front of the couch.
I turn on the tv and switched to netflix putting on some random show for some background noises. Just in time Theo and Enzo came trough the door with bags full of alcohol and some food. "Hey guys, just put it on the table, glasses are ready."
"Yo Y/n we got something for you." "What is it?" I wondered as Theo pulled out a big bowl of fruits, handing them over to me with the words "here principessa, you talked the whole fucking flight about the food and especially the fruits here."
"Oh thank you thank you!" I hugged them both tightly and opened the bowl exited to eat some fruits right away. As the first piece of melon hit my tounge I moaned dramatic, sitting back down on the couch. "Ugh I love it so much. Here guys, try some fruits."
They all laughed at my behavior and took some fruits out if the bowl. "Wow these are really good." Blaise nodded, eating a piece of pineapple.
I took out a strawberry and put it to the half into my mouth, slightly sucking on it as I looked over to Mattheo, holding the bowl out to him as he was the only one who didnât take some.
He sat down to my left and took the other half of my strawberry, eating it while looking into my eyes. My cheeks flushed a light color of pink and I had to look away which made him smile.
"Come on guys letâs drink something." Draco says standing up and taking the first bottle, looking towards me. "Whatâs that? Jim Bean. Thereâs an green apple on it, does it taste like that?"
"Uh- a little bit, itâs strong alcohol like firewhiskey but with a hint of green apple." i tell him.
"Sounds fire." he says and pours something into our glasses, mixing it with Coke. We all took one, cheered and took our first sip. "And? You like it?â i ask Draco with a smug face on my face. "Yeah i like this muggle stuff more and more." We all laugh at that and continue drinking and chatting, also planning a little bit what weâre gonna do the next few days.
A few hours later we are all drunk, sitting on the couch and on the floor, but all around the table, playing uno. It was only Pansy against Blaise, the rest of us already lost. Blaise layâs down a wish card, seeing Pansy has only left 1 card. He thinks for a sec and says "blue" before Pansy springs up happy and dancing, throwing her blue card on the table. " Uno! ha!" Blaise groans in annoyance and lets himself fall back onto the couch.
"Letâs play something more interesting guys!" Pansy suggests." Somethink like.. never have I ever or.. truth or dare!"
"Truth or Dare!" I giggle, taking an empty bottle from the ground. " I have a perfect app for this guys! Itâs called piccolo." I took out my phone and put all of our names into it so it could give us our first quest.
Draco and Enzo tell us about your most embarrassing story ever.
We all look at them, waiting for them to tell. Enzo tells us how his pants ripped at a date and Draco claims nothing embarrassing has ever happened to him but Pansy tells us how he sneezed into her face at the first dinner with her parents.
Theodore, choose someoneâs glass at the table and drink it all.
Theo groans and tryâs to take the glass with the least drink in it and chooses Mattheoâs who has a little less in it then mine.
Mattheo, fill up your glass again.
Now Mattheoâs the one who groans and does as the phone tells him to.
Y/n, choose your left or right for a at least 10 second kiss.
My eyes widen as I look to my left and see Mattheo grinning and to my right Pansy. "Sorry Mattheo." I giggle as i turn to my right and look at Pansy. She has to giggle too and comes near my face.
"Damn boys am I dreaming or are you seeing the same thing I do?" Theodore asks as he gawks at us.
"Shut up and be quiet!" Draco hisses and looks at us too. "Letâs give them a show." Pansy giggles and pulls me closer. Our lips meet and I canât help but smile against her lips.
"Shit.." i hear Enzo whispering. She giggled against my lips as she hears him too and as the 10 seconds are up we seperate and look around us. They all look at us with big eyes and drooling mouths. "God what is it with boys that they find it so hot when teo girls are making out." Pansy asks.
As I lean back into my spot, Mattheo leans right next to me, his lips beside my ear as he whispers inside it "i donât know if i should be jelous or lucky to see something like that." My cheeks heat up again but I try to hide it with rolling my eyes and answering " youâre a little pervert, mattheo." But I still have to laugh.
"And theyâre gone." I hear Blaise saying, which makes me look at them again to see the last bit of Draco and Pansy before they leave the living room and stumble kissing inside of their shared room.
I shake my head chuckling, Theo shouting "Use condoms my kids!"
Enzo, choose someone to drink against you, loser has to do the cleaning.
Enzo looks around the room and grins at me. "Oh my god why.." i half laugh and half whine as I take my glass and start drinking as fast as I can but Enzo is way faster and smashes his glass back down onto the table it almost broke. "Ha! yes!" Enzo celebrates.
Theodore, choose someone in this round and give them an interesting task.
Theo thinks for a moment before his lips curl up into a devilish smile. "Y/n.. " he starts "choose someone of us to give a lapdance to."
My face heats up at his words and my mind starts to think who to choose as I stand up to walk over to Theodore, but a pair of hands grip my hips and pull me into their matching lap. "Donât you dare pick someone else than me little peach." mattheoâs deep voice echoes in my ear.
I look over to Blaise and tell him to put on a song for me. "Damn she really is gonna give him one." Enzo chuckles as he watches me standing up again in front of Mattheo.
Blaise puts on a song which comes out of the music boxes beside us.
I take a deep breath in and out, hoping not to embarrass myself in my drunken state.
I take his hand and leat him to an empty arm chair besides the couch.
I start slowly circling the chair, my finger gazing his shoulder and his chest as the music starts. When I stand behind him I grap his hair and softly pull on it so his head throws back. I arch my back and lower down a bit until i tease him with brushing my lips against the skin of his neck, making him shivers in his seat. I get back up and walk around the chair again, still touching his arm softly.
When I stand in front of him I put my foot on his chair between his spread legs, slowly tracing it with my own fingers. I know how much he loves me legs, he always told me. That was the real reason why Blaise always got the legs. Because I wanted to tease Mattheo.
I saw him gulping and his hands twitching as he trys not to touch my leg. I take my leg back to the ground and arch my back again, pushing his legs together and sitting on his lap in one smooth motion.
I hear the boys whistle at my move and I have to hide a smile. I slowly start to grind on his left tight, after a minute on his right but not with too much pressure, always just brushing and gazing touch.
I looked at Mattheo, him biting his lower lip and looking down at my hips grinding. I stand up again, turn around and bend over with an arched back, shaking my ass.
After that I took a few steps towards him but still with my back to him and sat down on his lap this time, leaning my back against him and slithering one arm around his neck so his head was at my shoulder. I started grinding my hips slowly but this time with more pressure. "And you wanted to do that on one of them?" Mattheo whispers in my ear, laying his hands on my moving hips.
Without answering him I stood up as the song was over. They all cheered and clapped their hands together which made me laugh and blush. I sat back down on the couch looking over to Mattheo who stood up, his hands hanging in front of his crotch.
He walked over to me, sitting beside me with a little frown to his face which made me gulp. "Whatâs wrong?" I asked him quietly so the rest wouldnt hear, even tho they were already distracted by something new. "Nothing." he mumbled and looked at the still running tv. "Come on tell me, weâre best friends. I can see somethings wrong."
Then he looks at me with sharp eyes, taking my hand and putting it on his lap. "Does this feel like nothing to you, y/n?" he asks with a low voice, my eyes going wide as I felt him hard in his pants, because of.. me?
Without even thinking I grabbed him trough his pants, making his eyes go wide. At first he looked at the boys, then at me. "Y/n.. " "Mattheo.."
Suddenly he grabs my shirt pulling me towards him and crashes his lips against mine. This time my eyes go wide as I feel his lips against mine. They feel soft and full, tasting like the apple whiskey we drank all night long. His hands roam over my body, feeling almost every inch of me.
I lick his bottom lip before I let him explore my mouth with his tounge. "Fuck you taste so fucking good." he breathes against my lips.
My hand is still on his lap, feeling almost paralyzed as i didnât move out of fear what would happen next If I continue. But I could feel how much harder he got from our little makeout session.
"Mattheo.. we have to stop." I whisper against his lips, my forehead against his. "But it feels so good.." "I know it does, but we will regret it If we donât stop, okay?" He groans and takes me by my hips, pulling me on top of him.
"Y/n, please. I beg you. Just make out a little more with me, I need this." he slurrs, obviously still as drunk as I am. Thatâs why I blame my next decision on the alcohol.
My hands grab his shirt and I pull him even closer to me, brushing my lips against his. "Tomorrow weâre normal friends again okay? Nothings going to be awkward or different, because we just make out a little.. like friends do, helping each other just to ease a little. Promise me." the words come out as a whisper and he nodds, agreeing to them. ".. I promise."
Desperately he closes the space between us, taking my lips in for a heated kiss again. My hands were on his hair, slightly pulling on some strands. "Do that again.." he groans. I pull again and a strangled moan leaves his lips making me shiver on him.
He arches his back a little, bucking his hips against mine. He shudders when my hips move back against his, still sitting on his lap.
"What are you even doing to me, Peach â huh?" I hear him say before he traces down an invisible path down my neck, leaving light and wet kissed.
â thats all I remember before waking up in my bed in the morning with my head hurting like hell. I groan and try to get up, wanting to take a shower. It sounds like the rest is still asleep so I walk into mine and Pansyâs bathroom, taking off my clothes to get into the shower. With one last turn I see myself in the mirror, my eyes widen. What the fuck.
I had a hickey right between my breasts and one on my collorbone but it was really small and almost bot noticeable. Who was - shit Mattheo.

Ghost: *hands Johnny a tea* Here, thisâll sort ya out. Soap: I swear you fuckinâ Brits think teaâll fix anything. Rudy: *confused* Youâre both British, no? Alejandro: *kicks Rudy under the table* *Whispers* Now youâve done itâŚÂ Soap: *sipping tea* I identify as Scottish. Ghost: You can identify as a fuckinâ tree, mate. But it donât change nothinâ Scotlandâs part of BritainâŚyouâre British. Soap: Geographically, aye. But thatâs noâ the point! Ghost: You know, none of the Welsh or Irish boys make as much noise about it as you⌠Soap: This doesny concern them! Rudy: *to Gaz* Are they going to fight⌠Did I miss something? Gaz: *whoâs been sitting quiet* Nah mate, this is foreplay for themâŚIâm just glad my roomâs not next to theirsâŚÂ
Some Soap Headcanons/Thoughts from a Scottish person? đđź
âFuckinâ Brits!âÂ
Iâve seen a lot of folks mention how odd it was, and that the writers have somehow forgotten about Scotland being a part of Britain.
Some folks have suggested that maybe this was just an attempt of them writing Soap as a Nationalist only to be countered with comments that he would have said âFuckinâ English.â Because Scotland is still a part of Great Britain.
Keep in mind that âBritishâ is often used as a generalisation by many for those living in the UK, so anyone who is strongly against the Union may refuse to associate themselves with it and strongly emphasise by affirming their âIâm Scottish.â
Whatever Soapâs political views on the treaty of Union, signed all the way back on the 1st May 1707, matter not, because itâs purely banter. The Scots and English have history, and theyâre playing with it (Especially when you consider Ghost's whole âSpeak English.â stuff.)
As a Scottish person, whoâs man was also born here, but his family are English, I often take the piss about his heritageâŚsome of us are just like that, okay? đ¤Ł
Soapâs accent.
Iâve seen it come up again and again in comments that Soapâs accent changes, and sometimes his Scottish accent seems forcedâŚthat his VA is clearly not a native, unlike Captain MacTavishâsâŚ
Besides the fact that his VA is actually Scottish, Soap travels the world, he works closely with folks from all over, so it is no surprise to me that his accent is going to dip and change from time to time.
And the times where heâs âforcing it'' in"Alone ","Awa and Bile yer heid!â âItâs pishinâ it doon oot here.â câmon now, heâs purposely trying to goad Ghost! đ¤ŁÂ
I worked in tourism, my colleagues came from all over. Iâve grown up with American TV shows and video games. And you bet I hear an accent and have to mimic it! When folk ask me where Iâm from, itâs like a default to emphasise my accent as much as possible⌠oh and angry and drunk⌠tends to rev up the accent a little more too đ
Basically, the accent is Scottish⌠with extra seasoning đ¤Ł

AITA for âcatfishingâ as hispanic?
Thereâs not really much context for this. Iâm white from England. I started studying Spanish when I was about 12 because an artist I liked spoke spanish and sometimes had comics in spanish. I learnt mainly from being online watching videos / reading dumb comics in Spanish.
Iâm 18 now. I follow some people who speak Spanish and if they post/reblog something I sometimes reply in the tags in Spanish, especially if itâs about culture from a Latin American country or whatever. Iâll do this with people I donât follow too.
My friend saw me do this once and private messaged me to tell me I shouldnât pretend to be one of them and that I was sneaking into a community I wasnât really part of by doing this (Iâm English, Iâve never actually left the county. I donât have any personal connections to these cultures besides what Iâve seen online)
Why I might be NTA:
- Iâm literally just replying in a different language
-itâs my blog I can do what I want
-Iâve heard itâs good to have more languages spoken online
Why I might be TA
-thereâs no obvious indication itâs not my native language, so I am kind of tricking people
- Iâm not lying about it but Iâm definitely not going around advertising the fact Iâm not native on my blog anywhere, so they would probably assume I was
-The posts are often quite cultural (like a nostalgic TV show, food, meme, sometimes something political, whatever. My point is the target audience is probably Hispanic people and not me.)
- I reblog posts making fun of British people/politics/royals obviously (who doesnât). This was the post my friend noticed and complained about when there was a post making fun of King Charles in Spanish and I replied in Spanish agreeing. Iâm not sure if this makes me an AH but my friend thought that making fun of British people in Spanish made it seem like I wasnât one of them.
TBH I did not think I was the asshole and still donât really think that. Iâve been doing this for a long time. But I thought it was worth asking anyway cos like just because Iâve done something a lot doesnât mean itâs right. Also if this gets a NTA sweep I might show my friend but if it doesnât Iâll adjust my behaviour probably.

Saw this post abt Alonso getting accidentally electrocuted and thinking he was 14 (as well as this tag on a reblog)
what if... the whole grid accidentally got struck by some deus ex machina non fatal zap that gave them temporary amnesia and they all became convinced they were 14 for a day? Here is what I think would happen:
First off, they're all so hyped about being F1 drivers and get excited about the dumbest shit (phone games, wheel guns, tire blankets)
Max and Charles fight each other over the Inchident
George is starstruck by the fact that Alex is an F1 racer (bc Alex was his karting hero growing up) but Alex didn't become friends with George until he was 15, so he has no idea who George is, which is Humiliating to fragile teenage George.
Half of them can't speak English fluently yet. Only the younger ones (Oscar, Franco, etc) know that google translate exists and they help massively in the linguistic problems.
Unclear whether or not Pierre and Esteban are besties or enemies, or both. They are one of those things, and they're insane about it because they're teenagers. Lance and Esteban are probably like Normal friends though.
Lewis is like "where tf is Nico" and finds adult Nico. Lewis is super pumped to hear that they both made it to F1, were teammates and won WDCs, Lewis is an F1 GOAT, and that Nico married his childhood crush. (Their life trajectories literally sound like what a kid imagines their future to be like.) And Nico is like "hey we actually had a falling out" and Lewis is like "that's crazy man, how would we stop being friends? You want some frosties?"
Immediate Spanish speaker clique between Fernando, Carlos, Checo, and Franco. They are shook that THE Fernando Alonso wants to be besties with them (especially Carlos since Fernando is his hero).
KMag and Hulk are probably friends since this is pre Suck My Balls and they're friends now so, their energies align I guess.
Being 14 year olds who find out they're rich and famous, they all want to escape into the real world and take joyrides in the expensive cars they own/ drink alcohol/ see strippers/ buy crazy stuff and their team staff is like OH NO WE CAN'T LET THEM ESCAPE (Thus ensues comedy gold of the team staff chasing kids who have the bodies of professional athletes around the track and trying to contain them)
If in Singapore, Yuki and Zhou manage to escape because they are 2 East Asians wearing designer and F1 merch and they blend in with the fans. (As a disguise, they swap team shirts and put on surgical masks and people are like "Is that Zhou Guanyu?" "Nah why would Zhou be wearing a Yuki shirt?") Word gets out in the drivers whatsapp that they escaped and they immediately get bombarded with requests for what to buy for the rest of the paddock. They cannot rly understand each other but Zhou can get around Sgp pretty easily bc a lot of people there speak Mandarin. He has to stop Yuki from breaking at least five Singaporean laws. They stuff themselves at hawker stands and have a great field trip but then get recognized and have to make an emergency getaway on a stolen electric scooter. They do get Lewis his Frosties.
Lewis doesn't know he's a vegan and almost ruins his reputation by being spotted by paparazzi eating Frosties with non vegan milk. Also gives himself a nasty stomachache.
Despite being told not to tell other people about the mass amnesia, Max and Lance both call their dads. Lawrence is like "My poor son! I will get the experts to look into this right away!" Jos is like "idc if you don't remember how to drive the car, you're gonna do it or I'll disown you." Daniel and Lando grab the phone and tell Jos he's a meanie and also was a shit F1 driver, then hang up.
George finds chewing gum at the bottom of someone's bag and starts spiraling, convinced that the Singaporean police are going to arrest and execute them all for possessing illegal items.
Lord of the Flies scenario where George and Oscar are trying to organize everyone to make sure they don't accidentally hurt themselves, whereas Lando, Fernando, KMag, Daniel, and a few others are just trying to have a good time and cause chaos. Bottas and Alex and a third group are just like quietly messing around in the back.
They come to a truce in order to organize a GPDA strike because they have been banned from leaving the track until they regain their memories. They barricade themselves in someone's garage and have a sleepover on the floor with lots of candy and games. Lewis finds a guitar and plays Wonderwall.
They wake up the next day extremely confused (but remembering everything) and race as normal LOL

Full email under the cut
Beginning // Prev // Next
Sorry it took me so long to respond! Itâs been busy.
Donât worry about bringing up school. Itâs okay, I want to hear about it, and I know itâs whatâs going on for you right now. Itâs tough, all that study and homework talk. I remember that too, but mostly I didnât care and I didnât do it, and the teachers couldnât really say much about that. Iâm not saying thatâs what you should do, but⌠Oh, wow, thatâs dramatic about the counsellor. Just because of some homework stuff? Have you gone? I feel like you could just say that thereâs too much work and you donât have time. It sounds like theyâre treating it like some kind of emotional issue. Maybe girls schools are different in that way to mixed ones, but truly, I donât think that anyone would have been that invested in me at my schoolâŚÂ
Nah, I get what youâre saying about Kelly. Even when youâre not friends with someone anymore they kinda hang around in your head. I had that with a guy at school, I felt like he sort of haunted me for a while, but itâs different now. Iâm sure that when you stop seeing her, youâll stop thinking about her too. At least thatâs what happened for me. Life is different after school.
Right! Youâve hit the nail on the head. Iâve been thinking about Kasper too, and the personality that he couldnât show us because of the language barrier. Thereâs this other side to it all, too, where some people speak to me in this slow, very kind way like Iâm a child, even when theyâre speaking English. I can tell theyâre not being themselves either, and Iâm just the foreign guy. Thatâs me. Thatâs my whole personality now. But itâs fine, really. Iâm getting on better with Jonas, and itâs not like that with him.Â
We do a lot of stuff together. He likes to go bouldering, so thatâs what I do now too. We go to the gym together, go out and see live music and weâve been swimming at this lake a little bit of a drive out of the city with a group of his friends on a semi-regular basis. Our friends, maybe. I donât know if I can say that yet, but Iâm getting to know them all a little better.Â
Things are looking up, I think. Starting college in a few days so I might be slow getting back to you! Take care of yourself!Â

hey hi hi i've read everything of curtain call (except, obviously, what hasn't been posted yet) and i HAVE to ask you to share your lost country/skywatcher language thoughts so i can devour them immediately please.
hiiiiiiii so like 90% of the language worldbuilding i did for curtain call was like. very simple sentences and words since i didn't want to make an entire conlang for this fanfiction. what i have written in-fic would fall apart in two seconds if i tried to expand it to any of the lines outside of what i wrote. HOWEVER i have a lot of thoughts about how it WOULD work if it had the capacity to expand outward
putting under a readmore both for curtain call spoilers and because this is going to get long and insufferable for anyone except ME
also if you're not reading curtain call. this is still a fun little analysis about how siffrin's native language influences their behavior. you might have fun with it wheeeee just know that the actual language i'm talking about is not canon. i made it up.
disclaimer: i speak a couple of languages but my knowledge of languages is VERY limited to what i know. so you're going to see a lot of instances of me calling back to japanese or other english dialects. other languages exist and also have these features but i'm just not gonna say anything if i'm not sure of what i'm saying. if you are interested in these concepts in a more academic setting i am NOT the place to find that
second disclaimer: in curtain call, the name for qilaksut comes from greenlandic/kalaalisut which is an endangered indigenous language. this is an open invitation to go learn who, historically, lived in and supported the land you're living on. consider supporting them whatever way you can.
number ONE. dude is it that serious??
nah.
again, i built this for like ten sentences out of a 100k+ fic. so like. there's some inconsistencies, there's some weird stuff. and i know i could have just written all of the curtain call qilaksut in english but italicized, there would have been nothing wrong with that. but i did not because i thought it would be a good exercise in character exploration
because the language you speak has some measure of how you act and carry yourself in the world. (sorry elizabeth if you're reading this. i'm not going full noam chomsky i swear i don't believe in linguistic determinism i'm using this as a literary device) and since siffrin is the only speaker of the forgotten language we see (loop never engages with that in-game as much) and i was a little bit like. okay. why is he like that. how much of that is siffrin and how much of that is the home they don't know
in odile's friendquest she remarks that she only finds similarity in herself within vaugarde because vaugarde is so welcoming to travelers. however odile never went to vaugarde until she was an adult - siffrin presumably lived on the island until he was a teenager, and your personality is fairly Formed by then (at least enough for people to put iterations on it in adulthood) so as much as i could have gone the route of "siffrin it's okay that you don't see yourself in your past" i thought for the themes of this fic it made more sense to go "oh THAT'S why siffrin is Like That"
so as you're reading through this: yes i'm worldbuilding language. but MOSTLY as a siffrin character study. okay! okay.
number TWO. situational meanings.
so âŚâ§â is "you" and â§â§â is "me/i". but "hello" is â⧠which - hang on, isn't that the word for universe and me? no, actually, there's no pronoun suffix (â§â denotes when a person is being talked about) so in this context ⧠means "inside". which means ⌠means "outside" in some contexts.
(but harrie, why does "hello" mean "inside universe"?? well i imagine it's the difference between older medieval greetings and the modern "hi". languages morph and drift. this kind of just suggests that without me having to write an Entire Language Family Background. probably a shortening of some corny shit like "within the universe i find you" or whatever. semantic drift.)
and part of the reason i did that was for unicode constraints - there are only unicode characters that look like stars. but the other half is because in japanese and i THINK also in chinese each character has a few different meanings. take ćŹ, in japanese. it has a lot of meanings on its own but let's look at it in situational context. ćŹćŁ is bookshelf. ćŹçŠ means real. ćŹĺ is mainland.
so in qilaksut i think these kinds of multi-use words are common. ERGO. why siffrin has trouble thinking of very situational words in vaugardian. if your native language is built up of tangential mnemonic connections, of course you're going to have trouble remembering the word kiln!!
number THREE. reduplication and repetition
take the phrase "âŚâ§â â˘" from ch10. in my head, Âť means "fast" and doubling it gives you "really fast". this happens in AAVE (e.g. "he's RICH rich") and japanese (there is an entire kanji expressly used as a repetition mark so that you don't have to draw complicated kanji twice, it's ă
(noma) and as an example, person is äşş but people is äşşă
)
reduplication is slightly different from this but i think it shows up for words like , where you're not literally saying the word twice but the vowels double themselves. kind of in a trilling way. i actually say this in inutile and not curtain call but i think the Siffrin Accent wavers a lot and feels like a twinkling star. because i think it's cute
alsooo repetition. wish craft. do u see the vision
number FOUR. pronouns and clusivity
i don't get into the he/she/they or any other third person pronouns in the fic because. well i think the lost country would go so hard on pronouns. there are child pronouns. adult pronouns. pronouns denoting somebody's job or status. hell loop is SO casual about offering to use the "royal we" i genuinely think pronoun usage in the lost country is more tied to interpersonal relationships than gender. but of course that plays a role too
because i think there's a huge amount of gender concoction you could brew in there. i think it would be really fun if siffrin uses he/they because in qilaksut siffrin is mainly referred to as the neutral pronoun mashed together with the masculine one. i think that would be fun.
and then for funsies. clusivity. i definitely think there is a difference between "we" (me+one other person, excluding you) and "we" (me+others+you) in qilaksut. would be fun if this is why siffrin automatically assumes they're getting excluded from things. "where is the vaugardian inclusive we and why has nobody said it to me???"
number FIVE. structure
i don't have a lot of Full Sentences in qilaksut in the fic but in general it follows the pattern place - > noun - > adjective - > verb. and you might be going "harrie, you weeb, that's japanese again" well. i didn't want it to be like french or english. and that's the one i know. so. shut up!!!!
"well why can't it be the same syntax as vaugardian then?" i'm glad you asked. i wanted it to feed again more into the idea that siffrin is more susceptible to getting "lost" in a conversation. hard to focus when your normal syntax anchors are not there!!
but at the same time. i write siffrin as a polyglot in curtain call. they're pretty equipped to learn and absorb new languages. once you learn a second language, in general, your third/fourth/fifth gets easier
number SIX. things i can't do in the fic except for once or twice because of unicode restrictions
well i could do it ONCE. with two sentences that are coming up in tomorrow's chapter: but i think in qilaksut writing, changing the rotation/orientation of the word also changes the meaning. slight spoilers for tomorrow's chapter but siffrin has two ways of saying "love you" for two different people - for odile, it's âĽâŚâ§â and for isabeau it's â¤âŚâ§â
this isn't for any particular reason, i just think it's neat in the context of how i do names and titles for the rest of the fic. getting called different names based on your relationship to somebody, using altered terms of endearment for someone. two extra rotations of the heart could exist in theory so one of them is probably "loving your kid" and the other issss i dunno. maybe a closer platonic love nearer to a qpr or something. or what you use for your parents/guardians or your betters. i didn't think that far!!
also word opposites. ⡠doesn't have another version with just the lines, but that means "yes" and i think a hollowed out version of that would mean "no." obviously the âŚ/⧠shift goes here too. and i think the inverse of ⪠(little) would mean big. but i couldn't find those in unicode so they do not exist in this fic oops
if you made it this far into the post. hi. thank you for reading :) that was probably a lot more than you were asking for. i won't apologize. anyway this post doesn't even TOUCH how i do name stuff in the fic but that also feeds into this. (and the name stuff was something i took out of an old dnd campaign anyway) (of which i have a DIFFERENT altered version for my original fiction but shhhh)
#isat#thank you for asking :)#i'll always extrapolate on some bullshit i made up for a fic AKDJFLSADKJF#i think about this stuff Too Much

I have one!!!
Jim Halpert x gn!reader with fluff prompt
âSadâŚI have a blanket with all this room and no one to share it with.â
With that episode âAfter Hoursâ (yes I looked it up đĽ˛) where Jim is trying to get Cathy out of his hotel room so Dwight helps, but then Jim gets stuck with Dwight. So R comes to Jims rescue and offers him to stay with them in their room.
Summary: Jim is sent on a business meeting along with a few other prospective candidates for Vice President. When everything begins to spiral out of control, Jim doesnât know who to turn to next //AU where Jim and Pam never got together, Pam went through with her marriage and the two children she has are with Roy, Pam is a sales associate, and Reader is the receptionist / being used as Nellieâs personal assistant Warnings: Use of Y/N, switching POV (between reader and Jim), use of the word âwhxreâ (not at anyone), Author's Note: Iâll be completely honest my friend, Iâve completely forgotten who Cathy is! If she worked as the receptionist for Dunder Mifflin Scranton, then no she didnât! In fact sheâs not from Scranton at all cause reader doesnât know her so how about that, there we go. Did I go back and rewatch the episode you mentioned? Yes. did i hate myself for it? Maybe a little bit. But it was during work so what else was i supposed to be doing? Work? Nah (ok look i wrote literal notes for this fic like it was a damn english project in school ok pls love this for me) Also on a side note, there needs to be more fics of Jim Halper x Reader ok I am literally dying without them. picture im like a dehydrated person in the desert just dragging my body around ok I need more fics
Arriving at the hotel in Tallahassee shouldâve been a lot smoother than it turned out to be. They were all told that Dunder Mifflin had it âhandled,â which shouldâve been your first clue. What really tipped you off was the number of rooms available.
âWhat do you mean? There should be one extra-â
âThatâs all the rooms we have on record, sorry.â
âNo,â You sighed, rubbing your face with your hands, âNo, I know. Itâs not your fault at all. Just- do you have any extra available rooms? Iâll pay for it out of my own pocket.â Itâs not as if you were being paid millions to be a receptionist at Dunder Mifflin, but youâd rather not have to ask to bunk with anyone. Everyone here were adults, and half of them seemed dead set on performing some sort of sexual act for the evening.
You had driven over with Nellie after she insisted you both carpool to cut costs. Then you had to suffer an entire car ride about how pent up she was, how she just wanted to get laid and she wasnât above using her decision on who will be the new VP to get herself into bed. You tuned out before she could start listing names since there was nothing in the world you wanted to know less than what kind of guy Nellie was into.
âIâm sorry, it looks like we donât have any extra rooms available.â
You were about to speak when you were bumped into, turning around to see the large crowd of Dunder Mifflin employees lining up behind you. You start handing out the proper keys to their proper rooms, having Dwight snatch his key cards out of your hand before immediately pouncing on Nellie. You were extremely thankful when Jim finally squeezed his way to the front. You hand over the card you labelled with his name, then sighed, looking back to the woman behind the counter.
âIt does seem like there are a few rooms that have been reserved but havenât been checked into yet. Their estimated check-in times are varied, so if you wait here there is a possibility that I could get a room for you at some point tonight.â
âI would really appreciate that, thank you,â You mumble over to her, then lean closer to Jim when he starts insistently tapping your shoulder.
âCan you be my new Tallahassee buddy? Stanley keeps going on and on about how weâre both bachelors and Iâm pretty sure heâs wanting to get laid tonight. And Iâm so not about to be around all of that anymore.â You chuckle at the similarities, shaking your head.
âThatâs horrible. Itâs like thereâs something in the air here. Nellie was saying the same stuff during the car ride!â It was hard to talk with the loud crowd, but you werenât complaining about how close Jim was standing next to you. âUnfortunately, I wonât be much of a buddy today. I would, but the company messed up, they didnât reserve enough rooms!â
âThey didnât mess up!â You jump at the foreign voice, spinning around to see Nellie sliding up close to you, practically hanging on your shoulder. She already had Dwight and Packer trailing her closely from behind. âI told them the correct number of rooms, I swear it!â
âThereâs not one for me-â
âYeah, because I told them you didnât need one!â You furrow your brows in confusion, watching her for a moment. âI figured youâd bunk with me! Weâd be bunk buddies!â
âNellie,â You hesitate, eyeing the men behind her before leaning forward, âThere is absolutely no way in hell Iâm sharing a room with you, considering what you talked about on the way up here.â Nellie stood there for a moment, obviously confused before suddenly jumping and spinning around to see the men trailing her. She laughs loudly, winking at them before turning back to you.
âOh! Good idea!â
You watch Nellie just say this, then turn and leave. You sigh again, shaking your head and turning toward Jim. âIf things can get settled in time Iâd love to, Jim, but I-â
âSorry, I couldnât help but overhear,â A woman sidled up close, brushing herself against Jimâs arm. You watched the man jump, then turn and furrow his brow at this woman.
âCathy?â
âYes! Itâs so good to see you, Jim! If you need a new Tallahassee buddy, I am willing and available.â You choked on your spit at the innuendo, watching her practically rub herself again Jim. You watched him try to take a step back, then bump into the counter behind him. You could feel something burning your chest at the way she was acting toward him. Much too forward, in your opinion, though maybe thatâs what Jim likes? Should you do that, would that gain his attention?
âOh, well, that sounds fun-â
âGreat! So we can-â
âHello?â You turn quickly at the receptionistâs insistence, raising your eyebrows toward her in a gesture that you were listening. At this she smiles back, looking back to her computer. âSo the first one that may be available should be checking in within the hour. If by the top of the hour they donât get here, I can make a phone call for you.â
âOh, thank you so much. Really, I appreciate it.â
âOf course!â
You turn back to Jim, watching the woman walk away with a sway to her hips. You chuckle, shaking your head. âSo you know her?â
âOh, she works with the company.â He tears his eyes away from her, smiling down at you once more. âSheâs willing to sit with me so I donât have to deal with Stanley all weekend.â
âOh good!â
âOf course, unless you would like to sit with me?â Jim smiles, and you could tell he was trying to charm his way into the seat next to you. If only he knew you would do anything for him.
âIf Iâm there in time, definitely. But this whole hotel business is turning into a real-â Youâre interrupted by a phone call, cursing quietly and smiling apologetically to Jim. âIâm so sorry- Iâll just be a second,â You answer the phone, stepping aside to deal with some business for Nellie. You miss Jim giving you a longing stare before he finally turns around and begins making his way toward the bar.
 Jim felt lonely. He was almost excited to go on this trip, to get away from Scranton and all of the normalcy and monotonous days and maybe even spend some time with you outside of work for once. Or, as outside of work as he could get. But instead, he was sitting at the bar while nursing a drink and wishing you werenât busy. Your hotel room hullaballoo lasted throughout the entirety of the company meeting, Nellie having complained that she had to take her own notes, and they still havenât found a spare room for you.
Jim even offered to bunk with you, but then you had mentioned that there was only one bed in every room that was given out, and you had asked with raised eyebrows whether he was fine with sharing a bed with you. Jim- who obviously was more than okay with sharing a bed with you- had stuttered and mumbled and eventually the consensus landed in the field of no, you wouldnât end up rooming with him. Nor did you have time to be his Tallahassee buddy. Which was extremely unfortunate, since the majority of the reason he had been excited about this trip was you.
Jim jumped at a weird noise, glancing over to see Packer blowing onto Nellieâs face with Dwight making what was probably supposed to be seagull calls into her ear. Sighing, he finished the rest of the drink he was nursing and mumbled something to himself before getting up and heading for his room. Maybe the sooner theyâre back in Scranton, the sooner heâll be able to talk to you again at the receptionist desk like normal. That would be 100% better than anything that was going on in this hotel at the moment.
When he got to his room he had turned on the tv, flipping idly through until he landed on the channel showing an NBA game. He leans back, watching for a little while. Heâs not really sure what else to do, he didnât exactly plan anything aside from âSee what Y/N is doing and follow them around while they do itâ except you had said waiting in the lobby of the hotel room was extremely boring and you wouldnât want to put him through that. He had acquiesced- for some reason- and had wandered back to the bar. Thinking back on it now, if you were bored down there then the best thing he could do would be to sit with you and entertain you. How had that thought only just crossed his head?
He was reaching for the remote to turn the tv off when he heard a knock at the door. Redirecting his attention, he left the remote for a moment and went to go see who could possibly be visiting him.
âHey!â Jimâs brows furrowed seeing Cathy standing there in front of him. âThe heating in my room is going a bit wonky, do you think I could hang out here while they fix it?â Without waiting for an answer, Cathy pushes past Jim and into his room.
âO-okay,â Jim drags out the word, closing the door slowly and hesitantly following Cathy into his room.
âWhat do you have on? Some kind of game?â She jumps onto his bed, scooting near the middle with her back against the bedframe. Jim hesitates, nodding toward the tv.
âYeah, yâknow. The NBA.â
âO-oh, sounds fun,â She sings back, patting the spot beside her. Jim slowly lowers himself onto the corner of the bed, then lets himself continue sliding until heâs sitting on the floor in front of the tv.
âYeah. Fun.â
âSo howâs the night going? Retiring early already?â Jim felt a tap on his shoulder and glanced up to see Cathy laying on her stomach, her head at the foot of the bed and close to Jim. He clears his throat, subtly trying to scoot away. âDidnât know you were such an old man, Halpert!â
âYeah, well. You know me. Old man Halpert.â
âMaybe we could stay up a little longer together? Have a little fun?â
Jim jumps up, taking a few steps back from the bed with a stutter. âOh, you know, actually I was planning on heading down to the lobby-â
âI can come?â She asks, pushing herself up to sit on her legs.
âNo, I just meant-â
Another knock on the door interrupts him, and thanking god under his breath he practically ran to the door. âStanley! You do not know how glad I am to see you!â
âMmhmm,â Stanley hums, pushing past Jim and walking into his room.
âYou should stay! Weâre watching the NBA, itâll be like a party!â
âIâm just here âcause I ran out of refreshments in my room.â Stanley straightens up, carrying every single little bottle of alcohol that the hotel provided Jimâs room. Jim watched him look directly at Cathy, then back at Jim with raised eyebrows. Stanley immediately begins his exit, calling out behind him, âDonât do anything I wouldnât do!â
Jim glanced back toward Cathy on his bed, who only taps the bed beside her in an indication to sit down. Jim takes a big sigh, looking back to the tv immediately. He wanders over slowly, taking his position back on the floor.
âOh! I wonder if you have-â Jim doesnât hear the rest of it, glancing over to see what Cathy was doing only to be met with her rear-end as she completely bends over at the waist, digging through Jimâs closet. He turns his eyes to the ceiling of the hotel room. What was he supposed to do? Just kick her out? Why was he such a nice person that he didnât want to hurt her feelings about all of this?
After some time, and Cathy making herself comfortable on Jimâs bed once more, Jim begins to stand and attempt his well-thought-out exit strategy once more.
âActually, Cathy, I think Iâm going to head down to the lobby-â
âWhy?â Cathy stood on her knees on the bed, walking over toward the edge and placing a hand flirtatiously on his chest. âIs something the matter with your room?â
âWell- uh, no-â
âThen everythingâs good! Come, sit with me!â Cathy jumps back once more, throwing the covers back and settling back in her spot, patting the open area next to her. Jim chokes for a moment, unsure what to do before pulling out his cell phone, and holding a finger up toward Cathy as if asking her to wait.
His plan to call Dwight into action, claiming he had seen a bed bug, hadnât really worked out exactly as planned. If the plan had been for both Cathy and Dwight to be naked in his hotel room, then it actually went exactly as planned.
Jim was stepping outside of his room for a breather when he finally spotted you. He let out a long sigh, a fond smile lighting up his face without his permission. He wasnât too worried about it anyway when a matching smile appeared on your face. You were standing near some person who looked to be wearing a hotel uniform, and he jogged over as the person entered the hotel room. âHey! Did they get you situated finally?â
âNot completely sure?â You hesitated, shrugging at him. âThey said theyâve been having some sort of appliance malfunctions on this floor so they need to make sure the room is okay for me to stay in. I asked to tag along, just in case.â
âWell, I hope it works out! Then youâll be just down the hall from me!â
âYeah! You could have a visitor for once!â You tease unknowingly, giggling. Jimâs face crashes though, and as he raises a hand to rub his face you begin to grow concerned. âIs everything alright?â
âWell if you count having a naked Dwight in my bed as alright-â
Heâs cut off by your laughter, though youâre clearly trying to hold it back. You raised a hand to cover your mouth, and Jim canât help but smile seeing you act so cute. You finally speak through your laughter, trying to hold yourself together. âOh, well congratulations I guess? I gotta say, I didnât see that coming. You and Dwight-â
âNo, no, no,â Jim interrupts, laughing himself and shaking his head. You finally dissolve into laughter, and Jim lets the moment last a bit longer before finally explaining. âNo, Cathy came into my room.â
âCathy came by, and now you have a Dwight naked in your bed?â You seemed curious but confused, and Jim could feel his nose scrunch in adoration for you.
âWell, Cathy is naked in my shower so-â
âOh!â You interrupt, and he could see your cheeks lighting up red. âOh, I didnât realize. You two-â
âNo!â Jim calls out, probably a bit too loud and too quickly. He clears his throat, leaning closer to you and slumping his shoulders. âNo, I mean, she obviously wants to. She told me her room was having heating problems and then has done everything in her power to flirt with me since pushing herself into my room. Iâve tried everything to be polite, I really donât know what else to do.â
âAnd,â You begin, narrowing your eyes at him, âIâm still failing to see how a naked Dwight comes into play.â He laughs, then watches as your smile widens as he does.
âWell I kept trying to tell her I needed to leave, but she kept insisting I stayed. Then Stanley came by and stole my alcohol, and he was absolutely no help at all. So I called Dwight. Told him I saw a bed bug in my bed. He came through tearing my room apart, and Cathy said she was going to go take a shower in my room?â He rubs a hand across his face, shrugging. âEverything kinda devolved from there. He started stripping, saying he needed all the skin access he can have, that his body heat was going to attract the bed bugs to his body.â
âThe bugs that- arenât there?â You question, raising an eyebrow. He nods along and you laugh, shaking your head. Youâre both quiet for a moment before you take a step toward him. Jim could feel his heart rate beginning to spike at your closeness. âBut, help me out here. All this just because what? You donât want to have sex with her?â Jim watched some sort of emotion cross over your face, though it was brief enough that he couldnât quite catch it. âI mean, she seems like a good person?â
âSheâs not the one I want though,â Jim mumbles, staring into your eyes. âWoah there, Jimboy,â He thinks to himself, taking a deep breath to calm himself but only inhaling more of your scent, setting butterflies fluttering in his stomach. âI- I just mean, well. I like someone. And itâs not her.â
You were just opening your mouth to say something- âAnything, say anything,â Jim pleaded in his head- when you were interrupted before you could even start.
âI tried my best, but I couldnât get it to work. I donât think this room is hospitable. Iâm sorry.â You had turned around, taking a step away from Jim. He could finally breathe normally now, though he would still much rather be in your orbit than face the possibility of going back to his room to deal with things.
âOh, thatâs alright. I guess I can go see Tara back at check-in and see if she has anything else.â The disappointment in your voice had Jimâs chest clenching, and he reached forward to take your hand before you could walk away.
âMy offer is still open, you know.â You laugh at him, shaking your head and pulling your hand away gently.
âWhat, stay with you and your two naked roommates?â Jim could feel his face begin to blush, and you shook your head once more. âGo have fun, Jim.â You walk away with an audible sigh, and Jim knew he would have done anything to make you happy again.
 âGo have fun, Jim,â You mock back at yourself, shaking your head. âYes, just tell your crush to go have sex with someone âwilling and available,â thatâs the exact thing you need to be doing.â You were currently sitting on the uncomfortable furniture in the check-in waiting area, balancing your briefcase on your knees and hoping desperately that everyone in Scranton that wanted your attention via phone had finally gone to bed. You hadnât received a âsuper importantâ not-so-important phone call for the last thirty minutes, so your hopes were beginning to look up.
âExcuse me, Y/L/N?â
âYes?â You stumble as you stand, fumbling with your briefcase before finally catching it and dropping your phone. Thankfully, Tara waits patiently for you to pick up your phone as well before you rush over to her desk. She had been so helpful, and it had only taken you an hour of being in her company before remembering it was polite to ask about names.
âIâve just got off the phone with-â She hesitates, glancing at her computer and scanning it before huffing and turning her attention back to you, âWell, doesnât matter. They arenât showing up, they told me as much. So we finally have a room available to you! I sent Max back up to check the room again, but if I remember correctly then this isnât one of the ones having problems!â
âOh, Tara, thank you so much!â You lean across the counter, and thankfully Tara meets you halfway for an awkward hug. She giggles as she backs away, leaning over and placing a card key on the counter.
âAnd itâs on the house, darling.â
âWhat? No, I couldnât do that to you, Tara!â
âLook, with the whole misunderstanding, and then you having to stand here for hours and just wait around while that cute guy kept coming back trying to get your attention-â
âWait, who, Jim?â You ask breathlessly, sliding the card into your hand. You laugh, though Tara seems unconvinced. âOh, no, weâre just friends. Itâs nothing like all that-â
âSure, darling. Just take the room.â
âThank you again!â
You back up, turning to quickly run into the room and almost knock directly into the camera guy that seems to have taken the position of following you around constantly. You sigh, nodding at the guy behind the camera before taking off quickly.
Your room was in the same hallway as Jimâs, and you werenât sure yet whether you were going to curse the fact or thank Tara with an entire fruit basket. You were about to find out, though, now that youâd set your briefcase down and had taken a cursory look through the room. Making sure to have your card key on you, you exit the room at the end of the hallway and begin what felt like a walk of doom to where you knew Jim was staying- the room he had exited earlier in the night when you had almost been given a room and he had seen you.
As you were getting closer, you started hearing some kind of commotion. It sounded like muffled yells- then extremely loud screams as Jimâs door is flung open. A woman- Cathy- comes running out with a bedsheet held around her body, screaming and waving her free arm around her head as she pushes past you and runs down the hall. You hesitate, then take a few steps closer, just in time to hear Dwightâs mumbled voice.
âItâs not safe in here, Jim. I think you should room with Cathy for the night.â
You knock on the open door, peaking your head in to see Dwight with a facemask and large rubber gloves, holding two different spray bottles with some weird coloured liquids inside. Dwight was practically in Jimâs face, though at your knock they both turn to look at you. Dwight with exasperation, and Jim with nothing but relief.
âY/N! Yes, please, save me from this nightmare.â He rushes toward you, taking one of your hands with both of his and practically drowning you with puppy dog eyes. You take in a quick breath before Dwight begins to crowd the both of you.
âNo! Nope! No more bodies need to be added to the situation, go flirt outside.â Dwight slams the door closed behind the two of you, and you couldnât help the small laugh that bubbles up.
âSo, naked Cathy and Dwight turn into-â
âNaked Cathy running away clutching a bedsheet and a fully decked-out Dwight spraying my room with mysterious chemicals? I guess so.â You both laugh and you could feel your cheeks heating up at Jimâs attention. âBut, seems like I just lost my room.â
âOh, what a shame,â You mumble, waiting for him to look back into your eyes before your smile grows wider. âSo sad⌠I have a blanket with all this room and no one to share it with.â
Jimâs face lights up and he starts looking up and down the hallway as if your room number would just jump out in front of him. âWait you finally got a room? Thatâs amazing, Y/N!â
âWe finally got a room,â You insist, then hesitate as he locks eyes with you again, âI mean, if youâre still-â
âYes!â Jim jumps in, grinning. âI would love to. Shouldâve said that to begin with.â You both laugh, and you lead him down the hall to your room. Once inside, Jim begins to take a look around while you grab the remote, pushing yourself onto your bed and settling your back against the bedframe. As you turn on the tv, you start flipping through the channels.
âShouldnât you go back and rescue your stuff from Dwightâs wrath?â
âI think Iâll give it a night to air out,â Jim mumbles, settling himself slowly at the head of your bed, scooting in to sit next to you. You settle your channel-flipping on some sort of basketball game. You didnât know much about it yourself, but nothing else seemed interesting and you knew Jim liked the game.
âSo,â You begin, turning your position to face Jim fully. âTell me all about what happened.â He laughs in response, raising a hand to rub the back of his head.
âOh, well. I basically told you everything already. After you left I went back to my room and Cathy had apparently decided not to put on any clothes and just jumped under the covers on my bed like she owned the place. I got really sick of all of her flirting, so I tried telling her straight to her face, âCathy, Iâm sorry but Iâm not interested.ââ
âReally? Appropriate, given the circumstances.â
âYeah, I thought so too. She just looked at me like I was crazy and asked if thatâs what I thought of her. If I thought she was a whore.â You gasped at the name and Jim nodded, turning to look at you more directly as well. âOf course, I said no. Then she just said âOkay good, thatâs settled,â and then continued to flirt with me!â
âNo!â You gasped, laughing again. âYou did everything including telling her you werenât interested and she still kept pressing on!â
âYeah! So I called Dwight back. He came running in with those spray bottles and she tried insisting she didnât see anything, but when Dwight asked âWhereâs the bug?â I didnât even think about it, I just pointed straight at her.â You widened your eyes, unconsciously scooting closer. You watched Jim track your movement, his grin widening. âShe screamed when he started spraying her and jumped off the bed and I thought to myself, âWell she got that far, I wonder if sheâll go all the way?â So then Dwight asked if I saw it and I kept pointing at the sheet she was clutching around herself and-â
âThatâs why she ran screaming from your room!â You blurt out, placing your hand on his arm, and then you both begin laughing. âThatâs horrible!â
âI know! How could Dwight do something like that!â You laugh harder, shaking your head. After you both manage to calm down, another thought strikes your mind.
âSo,â You begin, biting your lip and unsure how to phrase this. âYou kept saying that you were sending signals that you obviously didnât want to do anything with her, right?â You look up toward him, watching his eyes track your lips, realising you're biting them again.
âUh- well, yeah. Yeah, I did that. It was like she was blind or something.â Jim mumbled, the tips of his cheeks were turning pink and it looked way too nice on him. âOr just, yâknow, deliberately ignoring them.â
âWhat were they?â You ask- mumble, more than anything. Jim hesitates for a second, tilting his head.
âWhat?â
âWhat were the signs?â You could see the moment it registers what youâre asking in his eyes when they slightly widen.
âOh, well. When she originally came in, she jumped on my bed and patted the spot next to her. I ended up sitting on the very corner of it,â He turned to point at the corner of your own bed as if you needed an explanation, then turned back toward you. âBut even that felt a bit too much like giving in so I just ended up sort of sliding onto the floor. The entire time she was there I was either standing or sitting on the floor at the end of the bed watching tv.â
âOh,â You whisper, trying to keep a smile tampered down at the fact that Jim had unflinchingly sat right next to you at the head of the bed. âWell, what else?â
âShe tried to bend over directly in front of me.â
âNo,â You gasp, laughing again. You hear Jim chuckle a bit before he continues.
âYeah. I just looked up the whole time, I didnât want to disrespect her or anything. Then there were the innuendos.â
âO-oh,â You drew out, smirking at him. âSaying innuendos to one Jim Halpert. Iâm surprised you could resist her.â Heâs quiet after, staring into your eyes. You begin to worry you said the wrong thing before he finally speaks up, his voice sounding a little rough.
âYeah, maybe if it wasnât her saying them.â You bite your lip, watching him momentarily before looking away and pretending to watch basketball.
âSo what kinds of things did she say then?â As you finally glance back Jim just shrugs, looking quickly at the tv. Was he trying to pretend he wasnât staring at you? Had he been staring at you? You bite your lip once again, thinking hard. âOhh, Iâm just so cold.â You tried to push your voice into a sultry tone and felt satisfied when Jim turned suddenly, his eyes wide and cheeks red.
âWhat?â
âThat was one of the things she tried, right?â You asked, indicating what you had meant by saying that. You could feel Jim slowly relaxing against you and- wait, against you? When had the two of you got so close that your arms were resting against each other? Your faces were even closer than you remembered and you were beginning to get lost in his eyes.
âY/N?â You blink a few times, realizing you had zoned out for a moment. If he had answered you, you had definitely missed it.
âYeah?â You couldnât help how breathless your voice sounded, and you could only hope that Jim wouldnât realize why and then leave.
âAre you cold?â His voice was low and rough again and distracted you from the words he said for a few beats too long. Even after, his words had your brain scrambling to a halt, and you could feel your mouth opening and closing- gaping like a fish. How attractive. And yet, through all this Jim maintained how close he was to you. How he was slightly hunching over, his face closer to yours than it maybe shouldâve been.
âI- yes,â You answer, nodding your head slowly, in obvious disbelief. âYes, Iâm cold.â
âWould you like help to warm up?â Jim was already shifting slowly, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you in closer to him.
âYes, I- I would,â You stutter out, pushing yourself slowly down to lay your head on his chest. Once the both of you were settled, you were essentially laying together on your hotel bed and were cuddling. You were laying on Jim, you could feel his chest rising and falling with breath, and you had your arms wrapped around him to hold him close and he was letting you.
Maybe this trip didnât turn out so bad after all.

Mi: âeverything has been bad, I wanted to see my son but he was different, he was hanging out with people that are a bad influence for him because they wanted to attack me. They did something to chayanne, they did something to my sonâ
Me: âWould you say that they changed him?â
Mi: âDefinitely, something is wrong with my little childâ
Me: âI seeâ
Then he tells her the bullshit that frvr told him. (I don't remember exactly and I am not seeing that part of the stream, but basically he told him that chayanne was cucurucho, some shit like that.)
Mi âthatâs not my son! my son wouldnât do something like that!â
...
Mi: âthereâs something wrong with foolish and tubbo they wanted to attack me, they hurt me, they chased me, and my son was with them, they are a bad influence on my son. My son was an angel, a beautiful little thing that took care of the people.â
..
Me: âSo you said that they changed your son and they have been very rude to you, but missa, don't be sad, you have to be with the people who add to you, not those who subtract from you. Then I tell you to talk with your son alone, and tell him how you feelâ
Mi: âMelissa, thank you for the therapyâ
They start talking in english here.
Richarlyson: âWhat do you think of bringing chayanne here?â
Mi: âDo you think it is a good idea?â

Mi: âI donât know if I am ready to speak with my sonâ

Mi: âno, I am not, I leave for too longâ

Lore details I've noticed: Silver Knot
Woah, thank you guys for over 100 likes on the Farewell Rayashki post! I've liked doing it a lot so I've decided to walk through Windsong's story too
Let's roll a spoiler warning and go right into it âŹď¸
Windsongâs first name is Ekaterina :D
"Once you know every ley line by heart, you'll be able to play them like a heptachord"
Heptachord - an Ancient Greek string instrument with seven strings. Maybe a reference to Pyphagorean analogy on the universe to monochord where on ane end of the string is connecter to Spirit and another string is connected to Matter, maybe not
"Are there any projects you find particularly interesting? The one on the Kolaria Superdeep Borehole? Or maybe the Sverdlovsk rescue group?"
It seems like it is a reference to two of the coolest USSR objects of urban legends!!! I will recommend videos on those cases
Kolaria Superdeep Borehole - a reference to Kola Superdeep Borehole. The urban legend about it gained its form mostly in USA and spread in post-Soviet countries. Also, there a place called Kolaria relatively near to New Delhi, it might have something to do with Journey to Mor Pankh version 1.3 event.
A Russian video:
youtube
A video on English:
youtube
Sverdlovsk rescue group - a reference to Dyatlov pass expedition. There was a rescue operation from Sverdlovsk oblastâ just to find the expedition members dead.
VOX video (English):
youtube
Now something about Windsong's expedition no.1
Taryga - I havenât found information about this place
Varangian - thatâs how they called vikings in Kievan Rusâ, and that's how Elena says how intimidating the village chief is
Shamama - the closest things I found is a Azerbaijani type of melon
Domovoy - a type of guardian home spirit in Slavic mythology, is similar to gnome and kobold by function and nature
By this info we can conclude that Tagyra village probably is on Caucasus mountains and shamamas are probably small and round
Now something about Windsong's expedition no.1
Yakutsk is somewhere here and oh boy, itâs a freezing industrial city:
Ovinnik - a guardian spirit of stored goods from Eastern Slavic mythology. By the most popular description, they look like big black cats with shining eyes and have a size of a street dog
Professor Ivanov mentions 1982, so we can conclude that it's happening in 80-90ies
Lesnaya Forest - nah, I havenât found such a place. Maybe there a reservation called like it out there, but, for grammatical reasons, a forest cannot be called Lesnaya (it means âforestâ (adjective) and the grammatical gender doesnât match the Russian word for âforestâ). There are a Lesnaya street in Yakutsk though
âItâs already October. Itâs minus 30 degrees right nowâ â -30C° is -22F°
At the end, I haven't knew Windsong is from Transnistria AKA Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. The republic has a tough history with its sovereignty (a topic I don't feel qualified to speak about), so perhaps it's one of the reasons why Windsong prefers to say she's from the east side of Dnestr river

Redraws of some of my favorite Conan/Shinichi expressions so far! I'll likely be making more posts like this cus this show is filled with really good expressions and poses that I really want to draw. Honestly this show needs more moments like the ones above, its such a good visual gag.
For those who don't know, I'm watching this show completely blind so please keep spoilers out of this post; as of posting this, I have just finished ep 289.
Gonna get into some of my current thoughts and critiques in the read more cus I don't really want to make a separate text post so feel free to avoid all of that if you don't want to see it and I hope you enjoyed the art :)
Disclaimer: These critiques should be taken lightly as they don't really impede my enjoyment as overall the show is great! I just like to share my thoughts and ramble.
286-288 is actually kind of a good summary for some of the things I dislike about the show, like sorry if people like that case but Shinichi and Yukiko being there unfortunately did not make it less meh for me.
I usually try to keep in mind that shows like this weren't intended for an american/english-speaking audience but man, New York is such a bad setting for this show. Even if you ignore the actual voice acting, its jarring how the americans just, stop speaking english. I really wanna know what the bts situation was to make them decide that, like sure 3 episodes is a lot, but its hard to believe these new yorkers, besides 2 cops and a taxi driver, are speaking Japanese.
Other thoughts go to the end with the murderer of the case and the disguised killer. Not sure how to word this exactly but it kind of bothers me how this is, I think, the first time we've gotten a murderer who's backstory isn't about some misfortune that happened to them that was caused by the victim, like nah, she was just evil, and then later Shinichi and Ran stop a serial killer from falling to their death, like what? Especially with these two scenes practically being back to back, I just don't get why they did that. Idk just left a bad taste in my mouth.
Anyways on a lighter note, loved seeing Ran's thoughts throughout the episode, especially at the end, like I love internal conflict for characters, and it works for Ran as well since falling for that 'you helped cause this' fear is pretty consistent with her.
And lastly I wanna share some thoughts I've had about the show cus I don't know where to put them. That being said, I really wish they had some episodes early on that explored more of the dynamics between characters and Shinichi's transition into Conan. Like the idea of a rich 16-17 year old being stuck as a 6-7 year old who now lives with his not girlfriend and has to go back to first grade is such a dramatic change, no way that situation wasn't hard to get used to. Unfortunately, I'm more than far enough into this show to know they aren't going to do anything like that. And besides very small moments that spawned headcanons for me, there isn't much going on relationship wise either. After episode 3, the dynamics between the characters was set and hasn't really changed too much, which is a little sad imo.
I'll stop rambling for now, apologies with how discoherent this is, translating my thoughts into words has never been my strong suit.
#Detective Conan#Shinichi Kudo#Conan Edogawa#agh i typed for too long#next time I'm just gonna give my brain a break and start gushing about my favorite characters from this show

Piston Cup Racers Hcs (i lost track which part alr... Travel edition!)
Ill just do the cars 1 trio first because i am sleepy and this is too long but i havent done hcs in so long and id rather do this than any work so.
Strip Weathers
Honestly? Wants to take Lynda out to a fancy restaurant and just spend time with her, or even go admire the scenery together.
Very chill. Does not over or under pack at all, somehow.
Will, however, end up talking for a couple of hours to some random strangers about racing, somewhere.
This normally happens when Lynda is shopping- but only on occasion
Sticks to his wife like his life depends on it (because it does. he sucks at navigating)
Tries to experience as much of the culture as possible!
So. damn. polite. No one can get angry at him for trying wrong.
Can probably master an accent within a week with some unseen talent
Likes the freedom that comes with not being recognised a lot (im going off this that like outside of usa ppl don't know much about nascar and so this applies in carsverse to the piston cup like everyone knows its there but like. not intimately familiar)
Makes the most of it, but hates the plane rides
Chick Hicks
Shopping. Bro can never get enough of shopping and it is an issue (for his finances? yes. for his ego? nah.)
Will probably get drunk at least 3 times while sampling the local alcohol (not so much of 'sampling' more of taking shots :skull:)
Preens at every opportunity he gets recognised, probably- (yes.)
lowkey brings the 'other countries are cool but my own country is better' vibes. but only because he hates being left out of conversations and god damn it is annoying when he can't understand jack shit of what everyone else is saying
therefore he tries to go to english-speaking countries as much as possible
would taste-test the cuisine and make a rating for every. single. meal.
gets lost in the airport, nearly misses his return flight. barely makes it though
business-class traveller. will probably start talking to the person next to him VERY loudly and with no regard
Lightning
I mean come on we've all watched cars 2
As polite as can be (i have to be a good representative of USA racers-)
Still manages to get at least 2 speeding tickets every time he travels
Packs too much, paranoid something will happen he's not prepared for like you never know
souvenirs!! and definitely buys doc a fridge magnet from every trip. doc keeps them all on the fridge, but never talks about it unless forced to
'oh sally would like this'
if he buys anything, it'll probably be some nice clothes for himself - man's got a decent fashion sense
makes a joke and realises everyone else probably don't understand. whoops.
visits archeological sites if there are any! (a huge history nerd. especially for his dinosaurs hehe)

WIBTA if I quit my school play?
Tl;dr at the bottom!!
For context, Iâm 15f and was just cast in my school play. I had never been in one of my schoolâs productions, so I figured Iâd give it a try and make some new friends (I transferred to this school). I really enjoy theatre, and Iâve been in productions since I was around seven or eight years old; Iâm no stranger to it.
Well, it turns out the amount of interest for the school play was a lot bigger than they thought, so there were limited roles. Thankfully, I did manage to get into the main cast, so I was like, yay me (even though it was a smaller role, which I was wholeheartedly expecting, albeit a tad sad about)!
Yesterday, we finally started rehearsals and read from the script once, to get a feel of our characters. I didnât know much about the role, since it was a lesser known play and all that was in the description for my character was âforeign housekeeperâ. All I knew is that Iâd have to have some kind of accent (something Iâm not too good at, but I figured it would be fun to get out of my comfort zone a bit), so I had been practicing some kind of accent at home to try out with the script.
But when I was reading through my lines, I quickly discovered that this was NOT what I thought it was going to be.
My character, putting it lightly, is a blatantly xenophobic stereotype. They are a completely one note character whose only personality trait is, âforeignâ. She canât speak English very well, and tends to âmix up her wordsâ, which the other characters tend to berate her for. She also never speaks in more than four words at a time, and the script goes out of its way to never have her speak in more than one syllable at a time. Itâs disgusting, and I fucking hate it!
Hereâs a direct line from the play so you can see one of the worst examples.
MY CHARACTER: No nuts in this house!
CHARACTER 2: Do you realize what you did, [my character]? You put all the words in the correct order! Thatâs wonderful! Weâve been waiting so long for this day!
MY CHARACTER: You thank.
CHARACTER 3 (and this character is the goddamn LEAD): Well, sheâs bound to get things right once in awhile.
It just..makes me so uncomfortable. I want to get out of my comfort zone, but playing this character takes me out of it and places me one hundred miles away in the open desert.
The worst part I think is that this show is a goddamn murder mystery, and my character has no fucking purpose. They donât even end up dying; theyâre just there for âcomic reliefâ, and itâs all fucking xenophobia! And at the end, itâs revealed that theyâre stealing from their bloody employer.
I also think, based on their prior recorded performances, theyâre going to put me a costume Iâm not comfortable inâŚso Iâm really considering quitting right now.
Hereâs why I think I may be the asshole for quitting.
I technically signed a contract (not knowing about the characters but assuming it wouldnât be more than a few swears and some sex jokes here and there) that I would play any character they cast me asâŚso I would be breaking that promise if I quit. There IS an understudy, so I wonât technically be fucking them over with thisâŚbut god, I am such a people pleaser that Iâm thinking about just sucking it up and playing the part.
My parents told me Iâm overreacting on the part and that I just need to âmake it funââŚbut fuck, I just canât with it. I want to cry every time Iâm at rehearsal because I feel like Iâm condoning xenophobia with it.
So, do you think Iâd be the asshole if I quit the play?
Tl;dr: WIBTA if I quit a show I signed a contract for (although there is an understudy) because I donât feel comfortable with playing a character that is an xenophobic stereotype?
What are these acronyms?

hold on ok i belted out a brief laughingstock Scene for possible future use that i Had to write down bc if i didn't, i'd never remember it. and why not share?
~
âBarnaby? Barnaby, old chap, are you with me?âÂ
Barnaby blinks, registering the green fingers snapping in front of his nose. He huffs a laugh and pushes Howdyâs hand away. âYeah, yeah, Iâm listeninâ. You were saying?â
Howdy gives him an exasperated look, a fond look. âThinking about running off to a farm again, were you?â
âNah, just the clouds. Theyâre a lot less work.â
âWell Iâd rather you didnât. Who would I talk to during the long hours if you went and floated off?â Howdy winks before turning to his shelves, already yammering away about something or other.
Something or other that Barnaby is once again not listening to, because what was that? Barnaby quickly presses his cool paw-pads to his burning cheeks, feeling the bristling fur there.Â
Has Howdy ever winked at him? Now that heâs noticed it, Barnaby canât recall. If itâs new, then why? Why a wink of all things? What did that mean? And that look Howdy gave himâŚÂ
Barnaby adjusts his abruptly too-tight tie. Itâs unusually warm in the store, isnât it? Howdy must have forgotten to turn on the AC.Â
Gosh, what is Howdy even saying? Heâs still talking, but Barnaby hasnât absorbed a word. He canât even tell if Howdy is still speaking english. Itâs all garbled.
Thereâs something wrong with Barnaby. He must be coming down with something⌠or heâs just overthinking it. Overworking the olâ noggin. A good long nap should set him right.Â
âListen,â Barnaby interrupts, patting the counter, âI uh, I donât know where my headâs at. I better go find it - Iâll see you later, okay?â
âOh⌠alright, then,â Howdy says, a tinge of disappointment in his voice.Â
Or maybe thatâs just wishful thinking. Barnaby slaps that thought out of the park. He doesnât want Howdy to be disappointed, thatâs absurd. Thatâs something a bad friend would think. Barnaby may be many things, but a bad friend isnât one of them.
âIâll whip up a joke thatâll knock your socks off next time I see ya,â Barnaby promises. He smiles around the discomfort and the entirely new feeling squirming around each other in his chest.Â
âNow youâve gone and brought up my expectations,â Howdy says. He leans on the counter and grins. âAre you sure you can back up such a claim, Mr. Beagle?â
Another hot flush races under Barnabyâs fur, and to his growing mortification, his tail starts wagging at breakneck speed. He lets out an uncharacteristically nervous laugh and backs away from the counter. To both of their horror, his back hits a shelf, making it rattle and tip.
âOh, sh-â Barnaby lunges to right it before it can topple. He whips around and laughs again. Howdyâs wide-eyed stare burns. âSorry âbout that! Talk about a bulldog in a bugshop, geez.â
âWhen you find your head, make sure to screw it on nice and tight,â Howdy says, a strange look on his face to match his tone. âAnd check your temperature while youâre at it - itâs not like you to be off-balance.â
âI wouldnât say Iâm off-balance,â Barnaby says. He inches towards the door, willing his stupid tail to calm down. âI just have ears instead of rearview mirrors.â
âUh-huhâŚâ Howdy slides to the side, trying to peer around him.Â
Barnaby fumbles for the door. The scrape and bang of his search for the handle echoes in the quiet store. One of Howdyâs eyebrows creeps higher the longer Barnaby stands there, making a complete fool of himself.Â
Finally, the door clicks, and Barnaby nearly tumbles over backwards in his haste to get out. He stumbles down the steps and briskly walks away, adjusting his hat and tie. As soon as heâs out of sight, he slaps his paws to his face and sags against the bodega.
âIdiot,â he hisses to himself. He presses his back flat against the wall and slams the side of his fist against it. Normally, Barnaby would use a situation like this to his advantage. But Howdy wasnât laughing, and Barnaby wasnât being funny. âBulldog in a - gah, idiot!â
Great. Now Howdy thinks heâs not only a clumsy oaf, but that heâs losing his touch too.
Barnaby growls in frustration, pushing off the wall and stomping away from the plaza on all fours. What does he care what Howdy thinks of him? Othersâ opinions of Barnaby have never been anywhere near his list of top priorities - barring Wallyâs, of course. If they were, he'd never tell another joke again.
Yes, Howdy is a good friend of Barnabyâs. A close friend, even. But since when has he had such a - such an effect? Barnaby shakes his head, growling again.Â
There was no effect. Barnaby is just going insane. Or heâs getting sick, like Howdy implied. That would explain the sudden hot flash, the loss of typically impeccable coordination, and, oh yeah! Barnabyâs brain leaking out of his ears. Â
#context from My Brain:#barnaby's chatting with howdy as usual and howdy does Something endearing#or was it like... idk one of his personality quirks pops up#& barnabys like 'aw hes doing The Thing. its one of the things i love about him'#and obviously has a moment of 'whoah wait Love?? haha where the fuck did that come from. whatever *proceeds to panic*'#essentially: the first domino falls#laughingstock#aaaaand not tagging as anything else#if people see it they see it#i havent posted Any of my recent (and rare) writings so this is slightly mortifying!#its been too long since ive posted fic i need to buckle down on my wips#not this one obvs since its not even really a wip#just a tidbit for future me to edit and implement#my dc wips... who i still want to continue & finish so so badly...#the mermay timber one... the timkon cannibalism... cowboy hat rule... and many more...#anyhow i can feel my writing confidence atrophying#i glance at one of my wips and my entire brain recoils like its the worst thing since (insert bad thing here)#shaking myself by the shoulders 'Its Not That Bad You Are A Decent Writer Whose Fics Are More Often Than Not Well Received'#my brain is trying to convince me everything is terrible i need to forcibly shut it the hell up
