Why spend energy arguing about a fictional character when that energy can be better spent defending and arguing for real people?
Why worry about how someone writes a fictional character when there's people that write about real people and dehumanize and fetishize them in their works, and in real life?
It's ironic how often I see someone arguing that some head canon is trash, ends up insulting someone in a dehumanizing way, or jump to accusations, in the very same instance as trying to argue the fictional character is being dehumanized or misrepresented.
Don't be taking real shits on real people over imaginary shit on imaginary people!!
Getting deep into the x men fandom means seeing ships I don't agree with, so I don't interact, seeing posts that mischaraterizes one of the deepest charaters possible, so I don't interact, Seeing people actively say things that are blatantly wrong, so I don't interact.
Getting a large following is also kind of frustrating (Im not complaining I love you guys!) But I've had to block 2 people already today because they keep leaving rude replies to my comments on OTHER peoples posts or purposly come to my blog to tell me that how I view a charater is wrong. Had someone tell me that the stuff that happens in MY au is dumb because "that would never happen" like yeah bud. The writers at Marvel are too much of cowards for it to happen, hence why i'm here.
So my thing is... if im chosing not to interact with all of this- why is it still on my feed?
I feel like the more I ignore it the more I see and I do not wish to be the type to block someone simply because they make one post about a ship that personally isn't my cup of tea.
Also- I think Im starting to see the different sides of extremes, especially when it comes to one specifc charater.
Logan.
I have seen dozens of lovely stories, lovely rants, lovely head canons about this man-
But something that feels weird (to me at least) is people who are 45+ yelling at people who aren't even 18 that their story/headcanons are trash because they've "been enjoying Logan for 40+ years" as if this gives them any right to tell a 17 year old that they shouldnt write a charater how they see them.
It's also weird to me that there seems to be two sides.
Logan IS an animal and that's perfectly okay.
Or
Logan ISN'T an animal, and everyone who headcanons him as animalistic is fetishizing his mutation and are insulting him.
I get not liking a certain trope, but sir, that person is young enough to be your child. You have to accept that we all grew up with different versions of each charater. I Personally didn't grow up with any and get the luxury of indulging in all sorts of media all at once- therefore getting to see him from multiple sides and pictures.
I completely understand if you grew up with the original series and are upset to see that kids are headcanoning your stone cold angst biker man as wearing bow clips and 'making biscuits' on a pillow while watching gilmore girl with his boyfriend, and wearing pink fluffy hello kitty pants and a tight shirt that says "Milk"
I completely understand if you grew up with the movies and see him as a sexy gruff hot buff man and you love to write lots and lots of steamy x reader about him.
I completely understand if you LIKE logan wearing hello kitty pants and don't agree with the idea of him being a dark edgelord, lone wolf charater.
Do you know what I don't understand? Fighting over a charater when different timelines have been canon since the 80s. The Time Variance Authority (TVA) first appeared in Thor #372 (October 1986) which means ALL of your logans are the correct logan. Just not all the same.
Do I think Wolverine Orgins Logan would wear pink hello kitty pants? Nah.
Do I know that Deadpool and wolverine Logan is a whole different universe then Orgins Logan? Yes.
That's why people tag different logans and different aus. So what is all the fuss about?? What happened to the more the merrier?
Theres so many different versions of comic book logan, too, so don't even go there.
Feel free to ask my personal opinions but as far as I stand I could never be foolish enough to seriously go into someone elses post and genuinely be upset at them for how they perceive a charater. I get second hand embaressment when ever I see ANYONE doing it.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk. I don't care if I lose followers for this. Let the door hit you on the way out. There aint no reason to be harrassing folks.

About Me:
Call me Lindsay 💚 ✍🏻 🎨 🌿
Howdy! I’m new to posting on Tumblr! I’ve got ramblings and story snippets for ya (and art!). I mainly enjoy writing whump and fantasy OCs, but I write some COD fanfic too!
She/her, bi (💍➡️🤷🏻‍♂️), ‘98 (👵🏻)
Posting since March 2024 / About Me updated October 2024
Pet Whump Masterlist (in slooowww progress)
Ghost x JustAFriend/Fem!Reader
Most of my posts are tagged #lindsay00000008
Fandoms:
Whump! The OA, Hannibal (NBC), Zelda, COD, Helldivers, JJK (only for the Suguru/Satoru discourse and also Sukuna is hot) any video game where I can use a bow and arrow or build a house, booktok
Genre interests:
Fantasy (historical, historical AU, original world, isekai)
If modern, would be an AU (omegaverse, magic, multiple worlds, post-apocalypse) OR have something interesting/dark enough to tide me over (serial killer, criminal underworld, etc)
Whump: 80% hurt, 20% comfort. But I love when they’re combined (e.g. caretaker witnesses or is even somehow responsible for the whump, or intimate whumper is comforting whumpee as they whump)
Fav authors: Diana Wynne Jones (whimsical!), C.S Lewis (fantastical!), my sister (who is my mirror and notepad!)
Interacting with me:
Writers…
✅If a post does not use character names, use the scene/prompt/dialogue/idea however you like! You can even continue a snippet in your own part 2 post or reblog (even if I end up continuing it myself). I like to see where different authors take a scene or inspiration. If you’re not sure you can hop on and continue a specific post of mine, drop a comment! Please credit or [link to post] if you’re inspired by something specific, but no biggie.
❌If a post does use character names, or is a reader x character fan fic with multiple parts, I have more of an investment and I’d like to keep those as my own.
🚫Do not put my writing into any AI systems
Readers…
Most story snippets with romance/smut will be hetero but I’ll keep ramblings, whumspo, etc nonspecific
I love any kind of feedback. I especially love comments! Feel free to tag me if you think I'd like something, or send me a request! (I yearn for a stuffed ask box)
Friends…
I’m currently learning Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (did you know theres a welsh translation of Manacled?). I have a degree in Chinese 🇨🇳 (and linguistics) as well as intermediate skill in Korean 🇰🇷 (though I’m way out of practice in those). You can message me in those languages too!
⚠️Blog Content / Trigger Warnings⚠️
General - Sexually explicit and/or violent content. 18+ MDNI.
Why do I like whump? (Link)
If there's a post you think needs an extra CW, no matter how specific, let me know! I don’t tend to tag CWs, so lmk if you’d like me to for a specific topic!
My posts may include:
Smump (Smut + Whump in the same scene/event)
Non/dubcon (I enjoy finding reasons my characters should smash other than because they desire to (e.g. sex pollen, appease a God, break a curse, share life force, etc) May include consent given without full understanding of circumstances or identity (e.g. sex with the man who killed their father, who then tries to kill them etc)
Omegaverse (including hetero)
MF pairings, MMF pairings, MMMF... uh... etc
Breeding, choking, BDSM (the usual)
Monsters (But I’m picky. Yautja is probably my limit. Mostly humanoids.)
Religious trauma / Purity culture / Cults / Grooming (sexual or otherwise - never physical, always evil)
Pet/slave whump, systemic or just for fun, conditioning, dehumanization
Dad/Mom issues, loud men trauma, narcissism, republicans, being a general disappointment to guardians
Medical whump & experimentation, time gaps/amnesia, seizures, drug usage, hallucination, general illness (although I’m not into bedside caretaker stories unless a whumper is still involved)
Mental illness (anxiety/adhd specifically from personal experience, ptsd, responding to triggers, flashbacks, panic attacks, dissociation, suicidal ideation (overt or casual), self harm impulses, etc)
Torture, gore, blood, scarring, noncon body mod or surgery, sensory deprivation, food restriction, self harm (not super mutilate-y, maybe limbs lost but I’m not too into disfigurement or like infection)
Fantasy violence, damsels in distress, generally un-feminist tropes (think those old comic book covers with scantily clad women being attacked by aliens iykyk)
Born-sexy-yesterday - magically mature bodies/minds (ex. Nymph born from a flower, magical artifact awakened to serve a master, someone was turned into a cat as a child and has just been returned to human in their twenties and is very unknowledgeable of the world)
Age gap (no minors, e.g. 32 y/o x 20 y/o, 500+ y/o creature x 20 y/o Human)
Death (including minors)
Content will NOT include:
Extreme whump/maiming to MC without reason or resolution (unless done by irredeemable villains who are later violently slaughtered).
I like my MCs to have a resolution to any trauma or injury faced. I like them to be saved before the breaking point, or at least have their pain acknowledged and healed. As a writer it helps me feel in control. If I would have a hard time giving my MC a happily ever after, I'm less likely to write it that way.
Changed my blurb about “no full-on noncon”, ‘cause apparently I’m totally down with dark COD fics with stalking/ kidnapping noncon and pet play… you live and you learn!
Poor hygiene in combination with whump, smut, smump, or general intimacy. Like infected wounds, bodily functions etc (unless plot or worldbuilding related - e.g., where do pet whumpees take a leak?)
I'm a bit of a weeny and like my MCs healthy and clean, even if they're getting tortured :) If they throw up they will quickly get cleaned up etc
Intense description of injury to toddler, infant, fetus or very pregnant person
Pregnancy body horror and writing children suffering gives me heebie jeebies. Also, will not write pregnancy as a happy ending because it terrifies me irl lol
Minors in sexual scenes
Reminder that this does not include grooming by villains. If I did write something like that, it would be verbal or implied only and never physical (e.g. a woman raised to be the perfect, obedient wife might have some groomy backstory scenes)
Terrible note to end on. Anyway, enjoy my stuff!

authors note: lmk if i missed any tags, not proofread and not the best considering i wrote this at 3 am 😭 part 1
Glenn Rhee x afab reader, praising kink if you look closely, mentions of killing walkers. 
You’d been wandering around the city for god knows how long, it was getting dark and you just had to be lost. You’d been seeking shelter for awhile but all the shops were overrun by walkers and you were way to tired from killing them you knew you’d break if you tried killing more of them with that stupid dull pocket knife you found lying out in the open while scavenging for supplies once. Just as you were about to turn around a corner you heard something from behind, your fight or flight senses immediately went off and you quickly whipped your head around with your pocket knife ready to protect yourself, looking for where the sound could’ve come from.“pssst” you heard it again, where was it coming from, was it a walker? your thoughts got interrupted by another sound above you “over here” you looked up towards the sound and saw a person sticking their head out of a window, a person? a living person? were you seeing things? you hadn’t seen or talked to another person since, well the start of the apocalypse “who are you?” the words came out faster then you could think and in less then a second he had already replied “Im glenn, but theres no time for that. A herd is coming and if you don’t want to be dead meat you best get your ass up here” hesitating for a second you listened for the herd, which were loud as ever and you quickly you started sprinting towards the stairs and up through the glass window ‘glenn’ had been waiting for you in. When you first stepped inside you couldn’t help but feel uneasy, like something was wrong. The first moments were spent with silence, as you both stood with the window listening for the herd which was soon to be going past the building you were in. You could feel glenn basically staring a hole into the side of your head before getting up and walking over to a bag he had laying on the ground. Finally turning around to face him after a few seconds of silence you decided to speak up “why did you help me?” he stopped doing whatever he was doing and stood up from his crouched position, his back facing you. He was silent for a few seconds before turning around “i-i saw you out there and noticed the herd was going in your direction, if i hadn’t helped you i don’t know if i would be able to live with myself” he said, his tone more soft then before as he finally made eye contact with you. Your shoulders relaxed and you felt a bit more comfortable around him now that you know why he decided to help you “i-uh, thanks for, helping me out there” you say, stuttering a bit not really knowing if you’re using the right words. glenn, however, didn’t seem to mind as he walked up to you and put his hand over your shoulder, making you blush uncontrollably. “You don’t need to thank me, in fact i should thank you considering you’ve wiped out almost half the city” you chuckle, trying to hide your blush. It was no secret you were a sucker for praise and the fact that the apocalypse had left you more touch starved than ever didn’t help. Embarrassingly, glenn seemed to pick up on this which you noticed from the way his demeanour changed, becoming more smug. You decided to turn around and walk over to a  table connected to the brick wall so you could ‘sharpen your knife’ even though deep down you knew glenn wasn’t buying it. The tension was high, all you could think about was glenn and you’d just met the guy! he could be a serial killer for all you know, but he was just so.., almost as if he was reading your thoughts you could feel his hands wrapping around your waist and his chest flushing up against your back “s’this okay?” he whispered softly into your ear, making sure you were comfortable with this and he hadn’t just misread all the signs. You mustered out a little ‘mhm’ as he started finally kissing your neck and down to your shoulder.
Part 2 is finished and uploaded :3

HEY LINDS this is my Official Attempt to sway you towards perciver i hope you like it and that it doesnt turn you off them forever, now first off!
general relationship potential:
percy and oliver are in the same year and as far as we know they are the only boys in gryffindor in their year which makes them not only roommates but also the only boys in their room. for seven years.
percy is incredibly misunderstood by his whole family pretty much always, they all avoid him or are rude to him or just misunderstand him completely. with oliver's proximity its very likely hes the first person ever in percys life to properly observe him and understand him!!!
percy is the most career driven singleminded ambitious motherfucker in gryffindor.... second only to oliver!!! who is the most quidditch obsessed bitch on this planet and arguably has more solid career goals of anyone in that entire series. they are hyperfocused! they are girlbossing! they are not getting a wink of sleep bc they both get so lost in their work they forget what time is!
classic jock/nerd combo except oliver is a jock who is secretly a nerd (think of all the quidditch stats!!) and percy is a nerd who is secretly a jock (percy is a master spellcaster and nobody can convince me otherwise, that man fought multiple death eaters on his own at the battle of hogwarts and you do not get that kind of skill from just sitting behind a desk)
idk theres honestly a lot of directions one could take them but theyve just got so much chemistry and so much in common but also different and theyve got so much potential
(in my head they are the definition of autism/adhd solidarity but i know that not everyone hcs them that way which is cool too)
now for fic recs!!!
Twenty-nine - 85k - Endrina
percy weasley-centric fic that is honestly one of the most creative interpretations of him ive ever read, it goes deep into his past and his canonic decisions and stuff but theres a twist to it that is just gold, also its a whodunit where oliver's been framed for murder and only percy knows hes innocent its very very good and definitely played a huge part in me falling in love w percy's character
A New Life - 89k - AnotherAuthor, myroaringtwenties
percy and oliver meet post-war and help each other get their lives moving forward again, its very well written and very sweet but mind the tags its kinda heavy at points, it doesnt shy away from how hard the war was on everyone but the community that the weasleys and the quiddich players have is very warm and i love it
At least he has great abs - 12k - Irisen
this one is a cute shorter nonmagic soulmate au where oliver is a famous footballer and percy is a politician and they end up being soulmates, its very funny and light and i just enjoy it
(also i am technically writing a perciver fic rn its called Rely On Me and the first two chapters are up on ao3 but its my first fic attempt and i havent updated it all summer bc Life so pls dont feel obligated to read it i just felt like it would be weird if i didnt mention it)
anyway! i hope you enjoyed this if nothing else and if you read these or find other perciver fics or just wanna talk about em lmk bc i am always down to talk perciver i love them with my whole heart and soul <3
josephine hello. is this from literally ten months ago? perhaps it is. but i'm here now.... you mentioned perciver earlier and it reminded me that this has been sitting in my inbox for SO LONG
alright let's get into this
• iconic of them to be alone in a dorm for seven years together that already screams soulmates
• you're so right these two get their minds set on something and they're going to get it they're going to achieve whatever they want (tbh i already think they should put that energy toward like Getting Together but i distress)
• nerd jocks! a slay tbh
• i see the autism adhd thing i get it
• i also think like yeah i agree they have a lot in common when you dig into them but from one glance it's like ? these two? really? but then you see who they are at their core and it's like oh of course how could you think anything else (i have a lot of characters and dynamics that this sorta concept applies to i get it)
also love the inclusion of fic recs which i will check out when i am back to reading <3 consider myself convinced (it did not take much you already convinced me by just sending this ask)

i hope this is okay to ask, if it isn't you can totally disregard this ask! i'm a new writing blog for tokyo revengers and i haven't written and posted stories but it's something i look forward to doing. would it be alright if you gave a few tips/tricks in how to help your blog grow as a writer? again, it's totally okay if you don't wish to and i wish you an amazing day/night nonetheless !
btw i absolutely loved the dancing w tr characters post you made i think it will be my comfort read for a while :^)
oh hi, a new writing blog for tr !! yeah ofc i can give you tips but just a little note that what worked for me may not work for you, so ofc its still best you see which ones you find most comfortable with in style preferences :) n tysm, im glad you liked dancing with tr boys 🥺💕
some tips into growing your blog: (take note that this what helped me grow so this is more my experience)
❍ open requests - opening requests means you can have a better gauge of what your audience wants to see. trust me when i say you can still write for yourself while producing content that people enjoy
❍ write for the fandom’s favorite characters - you might think that “oh but i dont wanna write for them bcos theyre not my fave” and if thats the case, then you can skip this entirely ! but writing for who is mostly loved means a bigger audience, which leads to more interactions. you can still write for who you want ofc, and you should always write what you feel like writing first, but if you dont mind this method, then it can greatly help you
(like, most of my following is probably thanks to gojo simps bcos i have a lot of gojo works, and once i have a bigger audience, i proclaimed the naoya agenda. ITS TOO LATE NOW, FEAST YOUR EYES FOR THIS SEXY VILLAIN)
❍ post frequently - again, it is best that you post only as long as you want bcos writing fanfics is a hobby for most of us, but the more you post and keep your blog active, the more your blog will grow !
❍ be interactive n support other content creators ! - have fun with talking to your anons, meet other writers bcos its a win win (you get more friends, you get to support others, n theres a possibility it grants you exposure as well !!) i also firmly believe that the more you leave feedback, support, and comments to other people’s work, it is a great way to pull in content creators from the same fandom while providing happiness to both parties !!
❍ go ham with the tags !! - i cannot emphasize this enough, tags are the best way to get your works out there and make your blog grow. go for character x reader, character x y/n, character x you, character fluff, character angst, character x reader smut - whatever you can think of !! i’m always ham in my tags to have a bigger variety of what people might search for so you can use that as an example
❍ have an accessible masterlist - as long as people can see an organized list of all your works that they can reblog (if you allow) then more people will see, and more readers will come :)
❍ use the keep reading tab - if you’re going to post anything that is at least 900 words above, its best to put the keep reading tab. personally i wont even read through something that clogs my dash
❍ optional : start with headcanons / scenarios - headcanons and scenarios are really easy to make in a short amount of time. its a great way to “warm up” and just practice writing first, maybe get a better feel of the characters, while still able to post frequently. plus TR fandom is hella rich in headcanons so if you wanna join that flow, then go ahead !!
i hope this helped and lmk if you have more questions !!

MASTERLIST
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
You missed him. You missed him so much, it was all you did in the day. You could be walking to Starbucks to grab yourself a latte and some cake pops, and there you were, missing Tom.
Stupid asshole. You’d think after his face would pop into your head.
You were always stuck between being angry at what he’d done to you, and being heartbroken over the same thing. But mostly, you were sad. You’d cry at night, holding the teddy bear he’d given you for your birthday, which somehow smelled like him (that was probably all in your head, but it did nothing to diminish the sadness from you.)
It sucked to leave the movie before it was even done. But to spend another day around Tom would’ve been too much; you couldn’t trust that you’d stay into character and not burst into tears.
“I know it hurts. But you shouldn’t let it stop you from going to auditions.” Zendaya told you, a week after the movie was finished filming.
“I know but...”
“But Tom isn’t worth all these tears.” she said. You winced. You knew she loved Tom; they were as close as two people could be. They were meant for each other. You’d never seen two people better fit to be friends than them. That’s probably what you hated so much about this whole thing. Zendaya always pitted herself against Tom for you, and it wasn’t fair.
“Zendaya… Don’t say that.” You said.
“Say what?”
“Tom’s your friend. You don’t have to hate him for me.” You smiled at her.
She sighed. “Yeah, I know. But when I see your face and how much you’re hurting, it's kinda hard to not be mad at him.”
You nodded your head. She started speaking again. “Maybe you should talk to him. It might help you get over it.”
As if he knew we were talking about him, Tom called at that moment. You knew it was him, because it was the Spider-Man theme song. He’d demanded that be his ringtone, the big dork.
Zendaya looked at you expectantly. “No, I am not answering it. Fuck him.” You said, your voice cracking. Tears started falling out again. “I hate him so much. What is he doing to me?”
Zendaya didn’t say anything, only held you as you cried your eyes out while rubbing your back soothingly.
This needed to stop, and it needed to stop, like, last week. But for right now, you just wanted to wallow in your pain and heartbreak for a little while longer.
“Do you think she’s gonna be there? She has to be there. The whole cast is supposed to be there.” Tom rambled.
Harrison swung his arm around Tom’s shoulders. “Yes, she’ll be there. Zendaya swore she would.”
Tom nodded but still looked worried. It was the first time he was going to see you in almost a month. He was excited and nervous. Excited because he was finally going to see the love of his life again after all this time, and nervous because he was going to admit everything to you. He hoped you still felt the same way about him. If you didn’t… Well, he didn’t want to dwell too long in those thoughts.
“Well, come on, mate. We don't wanna be late.” Harrison said, slapping Tom on the shoulder. Both boys walked out of the house together.
The party was in full swing when Tom and Harrison got there. Tom immediately began to look for you, but there were too many people. Too many people between him and the love of his life.
He and Harrison walked around, greeting all the people they knew, and even speaking to the ones they didn’t. But he couldn’t remember any of those conversations. His mind was preoccupied on you. What would he say to you? He’d been thinking about that since you left, but there was never anything good. Everything either sounded too cliche or not real enough. He needed to be real. It was you, for Christ’s sake. You deserved the world.
And then, a light seemed to shine on one particular spot near the bar, where you stood. He swore there were angels singing and harps playing; that definitely wasn’t in his head. Nope not at all.
He started walking to the bar before a man came out of nowhere, and put his hand on your waist.
“Who the fuck is that?” Tom asked Harrison with disgust.
“Uh, well...” Harrison said. He knew damn well who that was, but he couldn’t bring himself to answer Tom’s question.
“That’s who Y/N has been going out with.” Zendaya said, walking up behind the boys. She seemed smug in her answer, but after seeing Tom’s face, a mixture of jealousy and heartbreak written on it, she added, “They’ve only gone on one date, it's nothing serious.”
Tom nodded, barely registering anything Zendaya was saying. “I’m going to go talk to her.”
Before Harrison or Zendaya could stop him, Tom was running and pushing through the bundle of people separating him and you.
“Y/N!” Tom shouted. He threw a smile on his face, refusing to make you see his sour mood. That would not be good in his quest to win you over.
“Tom...” You said breathlessly.
“Who’s your date?” Tom asked.
Zendaya swore she was going to keep Tom away from you until you were ready to face him. Then you had even gone as far as calling Jacob, and asked him to help Zendaya.
Both were traitors.
“Tom...” You said again, when he was standing directly in front of your face. Not only had he had the nerve to come up to you, he also decided to ask you who your date was. How dare he?
You wished you could answer him honestly; that your date, Samuel, here (bless his soul he was being a good sport about everything) was just a way to make Tom jealous.
But he didn’t even seem jealous in the slightest. His smile was easy and friendly; just like before that wretched kiss happened.
“Hey, Y/N.” He leaned down and gave you a chaste kiss on your cheek. “How’ve you been?”
Samuel, bless his soul, snuggled in closer to you, his arm wrapping tighter around your waist. “You must be Tom.”
Samuel sounded pleasantly jealous, exactly the voice you’d been hoping from Tom.
Maybe now was the time to explain who Samuel exactly was.
You’d met Samuel, a very gay man, at a coffee shop the day after the kiss. He looked incredibly straight, and nothing about his appearance or voice or anything indicated that he liked men. Which of course was by no means of guessing a person’s sexuality, but… there was usually something that gave it away.
When Samuel very politely complimented your t-shirt, you immediately started yelling at him, asking who he thought he was flirting with you. After Samuel explained that he was “strictly dickly”, you both sat down and became friends. When you had explained to him the whole Tom situation, he suggested that he be your date to the party, in order to make Tom jealous. After that idea was planted in your head, you had to go through with it. Which is how you ended up here.
“Yup. Tom Holland. I worked with Y/N on Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
“Yeah, she told me all about you.” Samuel said flippantly. “Y/N, wanna go dance?”
You looked up at Samuel and fought as hard as you could to not look at Tom. You didn’t answer, just took Samuel’s hand and walked towards the dance floor.
She ignored me. Tom thought to himself. When Harrison stepped next to Tom, he repeated this same sentence.
“Well, it is the first time either of you are seeing each other in a while. She was just shocked.” Harrison said nervously. “We were supposed to give her a while before you went to her-”
“We were supposed to?”
“Well-”
“Who’s we?”
“I-”
“What are you guys planning?”
“Well, if you let me explain!”
Tom breathed in, then gestured for Harrison to speak.
“Thank you. Now as I was trying to say. Y/N asked us to keep you away from her until she was ready to talk to you.”
“And you were helping them? Who even is them?”
“Jacob, Zendaya, Tony-”
“So pretty much everyone?”
“Yes, and to answer your other question: yes I’m helping them. I think Y/N is perfectly rational in her wanting some time before she sees you. You’re both pretty heartbroken.”
“I guess...”
“Mate, he’s gay.”
That got Tom’s attention. “That bloke she’s with?”
“That bloke happens to be pretty cool, and he’s an excellent cook-”
“Okay, right sorry, but he’s gay? That means she hasn’t moved on.”
“Yes, that means she hasn’t moved- Tom, calm down. You don’t have to look for her now- Tom! Bloody hell.” Harrison didn’t even bother trying to follow his friend.
10 minutes had barely passed before Tom managed to track you down again.
“Y/N, I need to talk to you.”
You looked at Samuel. This whole night he’d been helping you with Tom, and every time you wanted to give in to him, Samuel would pull you away. But not this time.
“I’m fine here. You both can go talk.”
You gave him a confused look, and he gently pushed you away from him. Tom grabbed your hand, intertwined your fingers and dragged you away, to the hallway where the bathrooms were, and it was surprisingly empty.
“Y/N-”
“Tom, I can’t do this now.”
“Do what?”
“Talk. I-I don’t think I’m ready.”
“There’s nothing to be ready about, we’re just talking. We always talked. We used to talk for hours on end, when we should’ve been sleeping. We can talk, Y/N. It’s just like before.”
“No, it’s not.” You whispered.
Tom sighed, then moved his hand to tuck a strand of hair away from your face. “I know I fucked up, Y/N. I’m trying to fix it.”
You shook your head slightly. “I don’t know if it can be.”
“Don’t say that. Please don’t say that. This can be fixed, okay? We can be fixed.” He looked into your eyes. “Remember what the cast used to say? We were soulmates. Whether they meant platonic or not, it’s still true. We’re soulmates. We belong together.”
Tears started pouring down your face. “Tom-”
“I need you, okay? I don’t know how I didn’t see it before, but I need you. You… God, you’re so amazing, Y/N. You’re my other half, and I can’t live without you.”
It was all the right words. It was everything you’d always dreamed he’d say to you if he ever fell in love with you. But with all that happened, how could you believe him?
“Please tell me you still feel the same.” He took your hands into his and stared even more intensely, if that were possible, into your eyes.
“Tom… How do I know you mean what you say?”
“Because I’m saying them. I’m saying them and I mean them.”
“Tom, it took you a long time to figure out your feelings. You’ve always said it to yourself, you could never admit your feelings-”
“But I can change. I swear, Y/N, I can change. I’ll change for you.”
You shook your head. “No, because what happens when you fall out of love? It’ll be weeks, or even months before you admit that to yourself, and by then it’ll be too late. We’ll end up in a horrible relationship, Tom. I don’t want to risk our friendship for that.”
“But we’re not gonna ruin our friendship,” he was practically begging. “We’re only making it stronger. I love you.”
“Stop, please, Tom.”
“No, look at me. I love you. And you love me too. I know I fucked up, but I swear nothing like that will happen again. I know how I feel. And I feel in love with you.”
“Fine, but I don’t love you! Okay? Is that better? Is that what you wanted to hear?”
Tom had the gall to smirk. “You don’t mean that.”
“Wha-I-Yes I do!”
His smirk fell and he turned serious. “I know I hurt you. And you’re scared to trust me again. That’s okay. I can wait. Because I do love you. And not even the girl I’m in love with can change my mind. I can wait, Y/N-”
“You’ll be waiting a long time.” You said.
“I’ll wait for as long as I have to. Because you’re worth it, darling.” His smirk came back on. “I’ll call you later.” He winked, gave you a kiss on your cheek, and stared at you as he walked backwards, back into the party.
You had the urge the scream right then. How dare he? How dare he do this to me? I can’t deal with this, I can’t deal with this, I can’t de-
“Y/N?” Samuel called as he rounded the corner to find you leaning against the wall, tears still running down your face. Samuel walked over to you.
“I thought if you guys talked you’d resolve things, but I’m afraid they might’ve gotten worse.”
You snorted. “That’s an understatement.”
“Do you wanna go home?”
You nodded your head. “Yeah, that might be good.”
You and Samuel walked out of the venue, hand in hand. The night hadn’t ended the way you hoped.
The night had ended just as Tom had hoped. He got to explain his feelings now and he got to apologize. And you cried. The fact that that made him happy surely meant he was an asshole. But you cried. It meant you still had feelings for him. All he needed to do was get you to trust him again. It sounded easy in his head, but he knew it wasn’t.
It was time for Tom to call in everyone he knew in order to help him win his girl back.

Asdfghjkdhslñ so many omfg why iLY ((I have to say tho i didnt really think about having to answer more than one of these at a time before i rbed the qs and since im on mobile and theres no way im gonna remember all of them im probsbly gonna do one first and then like edit this post to add the rest or something so it might take a while))
‡Demeter: do you have any pets?
>Unfortunately i dont my dad never wanted us to have any :// last time i had an actual pet living in my house i think it was when i was like 10 y/o or so and they were a couple of turtles who used to escape all the goddamn time like we would literally find them on the street trying to get away from our house even tho we had a enormous backyard and we treated them as well as we possibly could?? idk they prolly hated us so my parents mightve given them away i dont even remember,,, and thenn like two years ago i think i got a pet sheep called peter.. Peter the sheep was only around for a week tho and he wasnt even officially my pet but i loved him as if he were i still miss him and think about him often.. basically that summer when we went to visit my dads brother in misiones we took him with us from my dads farm ? (not really my dads farm but i dont wanna get too sidetracked here lmao) to my uncles farm for breeding or whatever so it was a solid 6-7 drive with him in the bed of our truck and me just starting at him and trying to get attention goD i never thought id care about a sheep that much anyway once we got to misiones we couldnt take him straight away to my uncles farm for whatever logistics reason i never asked about because all it meant was that he would have to stay in my uncles backyard for a couple of days and i would get to spend more time with him !! so thats what happened !! I took tons of pics and recorded him doing nothing and loved him from afar and then i was there when we dropped him off at my uncles farm.. and then i never saw him again.. the saddest part is that weeks later when we were all back home my uncled called my dad to let him know that Peter wasnt even fit for breeding bc rumour has it he had a third testicule lmao so he was technically useless rip peter the sheep ,,, aaaand now that i live alone i really wanna get like a cat or something but i never learned how to take care of anything so im scared i wont know how to if i have to do it all by myself
if i could add tags to this on mobile id apologize for talking so much about peter instead of just answering the question but i cant soz
‡Apollo: What kind of music are you into?
>alt/pop/rock/indie/pop punk,, i dont really like defining it by genres because who knows for sure what do they even mean anymore but the second best way i have to describe my music taste is ~basic white girl who thinks shes special~ and that makes me feel even weirder,, if you want i could try to make a playlist once im back in my apartment like next week or so lmk
‡Ares: whats a big pet peeve of yours?
>probably when people dont listen,, (u mean deaf people?? thats pretty fucked up dude) no lmao i mean people who pretend to listen but dont care about what you have to say or even worse when theyre so self absorbed that they dont even try to act like theyre paying attention and just straight up talk on top of you or interrup you constantly and not even bc they have something important to say but just because they can like whyy ohh or even worse when they do all that and then have the nerve get angry/offended if you dont pay enough attention to them??? Boyyy oh boy i hate that but i *cough love my parents i love themm
‡Centaur: Last book you read?
>all the bright places by jennifer niven,, didnt actually read it but i listened to the audiobook a week ago so i think that counts,, and if audiobooks dont count i read Evenfall by Santino Hassel back in march
‡Siren: Last song you listened to?
>((when i answered this (at 3:30am) i wasnt listening to anything but)) spotify says it was devil in me by halsey,, rn (13:40) im listening to alone by halsey
‡Nymph: Last dream you remember?
>i cant remember any recent ones atm but a couple of weeks ago i dreamt i was dating veronica from riverdale?? I probably posted something on here about that and it was so sweeett other than that idk maybe something about my classmates i see some of them pretty often in my dreams and theyre usually really nice cause i almost never remember any bad dreams/nightmares
‡Agamemnon: whats an achievement that youre proud of?
>i cant think of anything rn maybe getting into uni or coming out to my mom
‡Jason: have you ever travelled abroad?
>nope,, the closest i was to leaving the country was in 2014 when i was gonna go with my english teacher and class to nyc i got my papers and everything ready but then everyone started to come up with reasons why they couldnt go so i was gonna have to go completly alone/with friends of my teacher and their students which i didnt know at all so i got scared and decided not to 3 i know (hope) i’ll get another chance to go tho

‡Aegis: whats your favorite book or series?
>all for the game by nora sakavic atm
‡Golden Fleece: whats your favorite animal?
>ive loved dolphins since i was a kid but felines are too perfect in too many ways they make me weak at the knees
‡Olympus: describe your dream job
>so i know id looove to have an office job really stable and monotonous and everything like translating books but i also know that im terrified of getting stuck? And i feel like a job like that doesnt really leave much room to grow professionally so even if at the time im happy with just doing that the idea of looking back one day and realizing i sat at a desk and did the same thing for 20 years is not the best (which is ironic bc im wasting my youth ™ doing exsclty that for free basically but yea idk ) Dream job as in actually ~dream~ job would have to be like whatever people did on that show extreme makeover home edition?? I used to be obsessed with that show when i was a kid and i still think its a great idea even if its not as extra and over the top like that was id love to help people that way i could also make this longer but its lowkey too personal
‡Tartarus: Whats a short term goal you hope to achieve?
>going back to therapy and not quitting this time? making friends? Id say improving myself as a person but i feel like thats more of a long term goal but not hating myself rn would be nice,, also something tangible would have to be passing my calc II final that i shouldve taken a year ago and didnt cause i got scared + too depressed to study properly lmaao
‡Elysium: if you could have a superpower, what would it be?
>telekinesis and or being able to teletransport sounds cool
‡Ogygia: describe your dream husband/wife/life partner?
>patient, better at comunication than i am, respectful but that should be obvious, loves puns and bad/dad jokes, loves me? Also loves kids and is okay with adopting cause i definitely wanna adopt childrepn someday
