A Ghost Story post
Tumblr media
Well, now that I've caught up I wanted to make a post about my general thoughts on it instead of making a bunch of small posts, well here it is, minor spoilers under cut but I'll try to avoid them as much as I can
A ghost story is the story of Maxine and Jack and... their world...
I actually had started reading ags a while ago, but stopped after book one was done and was like "well i'll wait until theres more to read" and uhhh without meaning to years passed but now I caught on again.
A part of me would have liked to have followed it in real time, another part of me likes having read it now how I did it, there's some things in it that Im like, I'm glad I was able to go through them in one go.
Tumblr media
I've tried making this post multiple times, trying to write something more "meaningful" or in a better order but I just cant....
My thoughts in general are: I like the comic and had fun catching up, the start is a bit confusing imo, but it has more to do with the setting being new, and some uh... composition? flow? choices, but all of this is stuff the comic improves later on, which is something I find fun to look at when reading a webcomic, see how they change and improve.
Tumblr media
So yeah.
My book two thoughts are:
Tumblr media
This is were the comic "picks up" to me, and its not only because my favorite little guy (JED!) shows up, but I think by this point of the story the world is fleshed out enough that you start noticing some stuff... It also introduces Alice, whom I love...
Tumblr media
*why* did they cut up her cake like this, messed up !
The ongoing Book 3 is really good... by this point the setting and plot have been fleshed out enough that you can go back and get so much more out of what is there, I think in a month or so I should do a re-read, because I keep noticing stuff I hadn't before, you get more context on things and its fuuun !!
Tumblr media
The above text is sooo messed up once you get more context on what is being said, its gooood
So yeah, I can't remember what I wrote but these are some of my thoughts on AGS
So read AGS if you like stories about... Ghosts! Mysteries! Holding onto your culture <- My vocalubary is not good enough to put this into words but it touches on those themes, I specially like the last one, but you start getting a better idea about it until towards the end of book 2.
Tumblr media
AGS is also about this....
So yeah, as a warning theres blood, infanticide, mentions of suicide, uhhh body mutilation, cartoony gore, nudity, and I think... thats it? I don't think its that strong, but yeah.
And thats it, BUT if you read this far, I have a question
Tumblr media
Do you think its a bit gay if a man takes a cigarette out from anothers mans mouth and puts it out by burning it out with his arm?
If you want context... read the comic...

➀ ᴀ/ɴ: based from what wonho wore last halloween i'll be following in pursuit of this school themed au where he's a football player and you're his best friend off the same year and i won't disclose that you're a nerd in this but be whoever you want. kinda christmas theme actually
➁ ᴘᴀɪʀɪɴɢ: football player! lee hoseok/wonho x reader
➂ ɢᴇɴʀᴇ: fluff, school au
➃ ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: none
once the football team opened vacant spots for new comers that's where wonho popped in
he trained a whole lot for this to join the football team and that include:
working out and staying fit
he plays as their new tight end offensive line
you wouldn't worry much about his well-being since he never skips meals or anything just like a couple of people who would prefer protein bars and drinks instead of other food
he uses that but also eats
he healthy boy
always attends practices and would never skip a single one unless there's an emergency
have grown popular in the football team quickly after one game
he was really nervous in playing in their first game like,
he can't focus and kept jumping like a lil bunny all around, trying to convince himself
"i can do this, i can do this."
"of course you can, hoseok!"
he felt so relieved that you’re always there with him. you’ve always been there with him ever since childhood
the both of you are friends since grade school and have always hanged out in each other’s homes. whenever wonho’s parents were out he always stay in around yours
as usual some people and a few of your friends thought that the both of you were a couple because of how close you are with him
you refused 
you weren’t in a denial but you just saw him as one of your family members, like a brother and everyone respected that
no one from your classes ever decided to push you about your relationship with wonho and you were glad they stopped because it gets annoying when they do
so, you’re comforting wonho and his anxiousness over playing in the field
at first you’re not allowed inside the locker room of the football players until a few of wonho’s teammates, the captain, let you in
you almost resulted to kicking one of them until they let you in but decided against detention than anything else
wonho would flip and ask you how you end up there
once you were by wonho’s side you comforted him and pat his back, telling him you’ll be cheering him on 
he keeps asking questions regarding his worries
“what if i mess up?”
“this is my first game, omg omg. this is my first!”
“oh hoseok, you won’t mess up. you’ve been practicing this all week. kill that game!”
because of your encouragements, it made him more pumped up into playing on the field
his teammates found it impossible to bring his mood up, but somehow you’re able to cheer him up for every crisis he receives
from that day on, wonho’s teammates allow you inside the locker room every time wonho becomes nervous 
ever since wonho’s first game his popularity grew
he became busy over the following years that the both of you hardly even talked to each other
you proposed on talking every night but he’s always tired after practice or hanging out with the guys
he promises to hang out with you, which resulted to movie nights every month 
the both of you scheduled on every friday night of the week but wonho kept canceling your plans with him
he’s very guilty about it
he wants to spend time with you everyday like before, but the both of you grew busy over your academics and school curricular activities 
expect random texts from your boi
to: [ your caller I.D ]
from: hoho
hey! have a great day, don't forget to eat your breakfast. i got you a pancake bunny :D see you then!
when you got downstairs you found oddly shaped pancakes but it cutely formed into a bunny
with whip cream as the tail
because he's whipped for you, get it? :'D ahAHa i need to stop laughing at my own jokes
a cute lil bunny just like him
you never cared how different it looked like, it honestly looks unique and cute making you snap a photo of it and save it for keep sakes
almost everyday whenever he had the time he would always leave little small texts to you which you happily see at any given time of the day
and you text him back the same kind of affection and his heart goes CRAZY
you don't know that yet because the both of you hardly see each other but when he looks at you he has heart eyes
that whipped that you aren't aware of but anyway
you wish you could see him in person somehow
i mean, you do see him in school but he's usually busy with practice so you weren't sure
he also found a new group of friends recently that are not much of your status level
they all seem nice but you're not exactly sure on how to talk to wonho's new friends
somehow you find his name being off and across the campus of how a lot of people thought he was cool and how much a couple of them had a crush on him too
you aren't lying, you also find wonho that way
except for the crush
there is no way you would be crushing on your best friend, that would be awkward to handle
but you did
and you didn't know how to handle it
but one night
FINALLY
you get to hang out with him again after so long and it made the both of you relieved
thanking it all to your holidays break! (happy holidays! :D)
wonho made you pick out the movie for the both of you to watch while he chose the food
ever since then
he NEVER changed
well except for the fact of being really obvious of how much he likes you
would sometimes consult a couple of his friends on how to talk to you about it
and or ask you out
because
i mean he has asked someone out before and you were aware of it until he broke up with them around some year ago
so yes, boi is nervous
what else didn't change from him?
oh yeah, ramen
expect two bowls of ramen that he prepared for the both of you to have
"i. really. love. ramen. owki?"
"aww, more than you love me? ;("
"... but i do love you."
you laughed it off and decided to eat but he was serious though
it made you stop and stare at him like,
wait wait wait
you love who?
"i love you, (y/n)... i really do."
ok so you actually thought he liked someone else and not you
he has a bunch of admirers recently that you can't count how much because THEY'RE A LOT
and wonho is hot so
oh wow look im rhyming
you can't blame them for it but i guess you stole his bunny heart already
for a very long time really
"i actually thought you liked someone else."
"you might think that way but you never failed to cross my mind ever since we were busy. i like talking to you and ever since we were separated like that it made me miss you a whole lot, you know?"
and here you are, gradually melting
honestly, the both of you don't know what to do next but one of you should speak
"i'm so thankful to have this time with you again. so, will you spend it now with your best friend?"
"oh hoseok, not best friend."
"iM nOt yOur fRienD aNymOre??? D:"
"no, but my boyfriend, silly"
"oHhhhh"
this made you laugh at how cute he is
"well in that case ;)"
of course, made the move to kiss you first right on your break with him
had the need to initiate it right when the both of you confessed
"time to watch some sweet holidays flicks to start the day with my favorite person"
"oh, absolutely"
that's not your last kiss though
kisses you a lot lot ever since then
also made a make shift headband where a mistletoe hung
only wears it when the both of you are alone and he can have his sweet time of kissing you,,, under the mistletoe
he just wants your affection, owki?
he just wants all of your loveeee
but wow though, your friends cheering you both for finally getting into a relationship
they thought it was so obvious
that the both of you would like each other at some point
and you guys did ♡
so this is not over guys, i got a little more info as football player wonho aight?
you always come to his games of course and he always asks for a kiss before a game starts
its to boost up his energy and you're just,
"don't you have a lot energy already?"
"pllleeaaaassseee"
he won't stop whining about it
honestly just wants your kisses and your love
and so it became a habit of you kissing him before a game starts
when he looses you give extra affection
when he wins he will take you out somewhere or just host up a lazy date at your place
he always ask for a hug or a kiss every after practice
"babe, i'm home! now how about a-."
"i'll give you a kiss after you shower-."
always sweaty after practice, the sweat of hard work
you only give him a peck on the cheek after he's done with practice but no cuddle until he showers
you would always help him catch up whenever he misses a class or two because of practices where a big game is on
boy lacks a bit of sleep so yes
always remind him to pack extra food and water just in case
sometimes you would do it because he forgets
am i done now? yes yes i am finally done.

It has been about more than two weeks since your first day at Karasuno, already creating good bonds with Hinata, Nishinoya, Yamaguchi, and even Tsukishima. You were pretty close to all of them, spending alot of time together at lunch or after school, and even during the weekend. They wanted you to feel welcome, after all, you even had a little text group chat.
(Sent October 10th at 11:15 am)
Y/N: [Good morning yall, and happy birthday noya!]
Shoyo: [HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOYA!]
Tadashi: [goodmorning and happy bday!]
Tsukki: [morning, happy birthday]
Noya: [GOOD MORNING, AND THANKS GUYS!]
You smiled down at your phone before shutting it off. Since it was Noyas birthday, your mom let him and your friends come over, it also being a Saturday. You planned to have a sleepover with your new friends, Kageyama, and Tanaka of course. You had finished cleaning your living room, and despite it being small, it was big enough to fit a bunch of enthusiastic dorks, and Tsukishima.
You had begun cooking lunch, making sandwiches for you and Hinata, who was already on his way to your house. "Good morning honey," your mom spoke softly, rubbing her eyes as she walked past you to the coffee maker. "Good morning mom, Hinatas on his way here already," you smile and finish the sandwiches, putting them on a plate and walking to the living room.
"Okay, I have work today so ill be out for a little bit, tell Nishinoya I said happy birthday and Kageyama I said hello," she chuckled as she started the machine. You nodded and heard the doorbell ring, causing you to sit up and smile in excitement, placing the play down on the couch. "Thats Shoyo!"
You hop to the front door and immediately unlock the door, greeting the orange haired male with a smile that was matching his. "Hey y/n!" He greets and you let him in, closing the door behind himself. "Hi Shoyo, I made lunch," you say and lead him to the living room. "Wow, your house is really cute," he giggles and sets his bags and blanket in the corner next to the couch.
"Im glad you think so, I think Tanaka is arriving next, but i could be wrong," you say and plot down on the couch, hinata following your movements. "When is Kageyama coming?" He asks and rests his head on your shoulder, head tilted so he can look at you, but you just shrug. "He hasn't answered me since I sent him the invite yesterday," you say before handing him the plate and taking your sandwich.
"What? He answered me this morning," Hinata said and pulled his phone out of his pocket, going to his text messages with Kageyama. "Yeah, he texted me this morning, asked if i was coming to the sleepover," he said and you sae him typing on his screen. You felt hurt, Kageyama always answered you, whether it was one word, or even one letter, he always answered.
"Ah, he might've forgotten, i wont hold it against him," you smiled and decided to shake it off, it was Noyas birthday and you were ready to have fun. You and Hinata watched a bit of Netflix and ate a bit more than just the sandwhiches you made. It had been about more than an hour since the next person appeared, hearing the doorbell ring as you were in the middle of showing Hinata baby pictures of you and Kageyama.
"Ah, I bet its Tsukishima and Tadashi! Or just Tadashi!" Hinata shouts, jumping up, you following after him with a big goofy smile on your face as you both run to the door. "Its definitely Tanaka! Im calling it!" You laugh, barely able to keep up with the small male as he opens the door. As you looked at the male at the door, you and Hinata both shouted at the same time.
"Tadashi!"
"Tanaka!"
"K-kageyama?" You questioned and Hinata sighed, walking back to your room, sulking. "Its just Kageyama," he complaimed and Kageyama glared at him. "Whats that supposed to mean dumbass!" You let him in and close the door behind him as he kicks off his shoes. "Kags, you didnt bring any bags? Like, more than one?" You ask and walk to your room, seeing him hesitate to say respond.
"I'm not staying over. I just wanted to wish Nishinoya a happy birthday, i thought more people would be here by now," he nonchalantly responds, almost irritating you. "Well, you could've answered my text with a yes or no, or tell me that," you say and turn to face him, kicking his ankle softly. "Sorry," he muttered.
You entered your room with Kageyama and saw Hinata checking out your wall of pictures, filled with pictures of you and kageyama as children, you and your mom, and your friends from Nekoma. "Hey, is that Kenma?" He asked, turning his head to look at you and Kageyama with a curious face.
"Oh, yeah it is," you answer and walk over to the spot next to hinata. "Ah, Inuoka! Lev!" He exclaims with a excited expression, carefully scanning the pictures. "Is this the Nekoma volleyball club?" He asked, looking up at you with admiration as you confirm that it is.
"Thats so cool! You know Kuroo?!" He said, looking at another photo, one dear to your heart. It was the last time you saw them, you had a sleepover at Kuroos house, all the boys attending. You were wrapped in Kuroo and Inuokas arms, the 2nd years sitting on the couch in the back with the rest of the members asleep, or running around.
"Yeah, he acts like my brother sometimes. This was from our last sleepover before i came here," you state and he puts it back in his place when he hears the doorbell. "Okay, this time its DEFINITELY Tanaka!" You slap Hinatas arm and you two, once again, race to the front door. "Its gotta be Tadashi!" He once again opens the door to be met with Tanaka, causing you to shout in glory, hinata groaning.
"Uh, hello to you too," he laughs and steps over Hinata who dramatically fell to his knees. "Sorry, we were betting on who would arrive next," you laughed as he put his stuff next to Hinatas and saw Kageyama come out of your room. "Hey Tanaka," he greeted and you all sat on the couch, continuing the movie you and Hinata had started. After about 30 minutes more, there was a knock on the door.
"Thats definently Tsukishima," You say and Hinata nods as you stand up to open the door, greeting the tall blonde, noticing Tadashi and Noya behind him. "Hey Tsukki, Tadashi, and happy birthday Noya!" You greet, patting Tsukishimas arm and hugging the last two. "Everyones here, so lets get started, hmm?"
As everyone gets their stuff situated, you head to your room to get your phone and order some take out and remind your mom to get a cake before heading back out to your friends. "Noya, you ca– Noya?" You giggled softly, seeing him wrapped in a giant fluffy blanket, and he smiles. "Yes?"
"Ah, I was gonna say you can choose a movie, unless you wanna do anything else before the food arrives," you bounce before taking a seat between Tsukishima and Hinata. "Movie please, i dont want to even know what hes thinking right now," Tsukishima said, his expression was serious. You elbow him with a chuckle that follows, "its his birthday, cut him some slack."
You all decided to play a few games with an old movie playing as background noise. Truth or dare, would you rather, never have I ever, and some board games, Tsukishima winning monopoly. He was currently boasting to Kageyama with a smug look on his face as the doorbell rang.
"Food!" You shouted and jumped up to answer the door, quickly paying for the food and closing the door before bringing it to the small coffee table in your living room. "Also my mom should be home in a few minutes so call down with all the cursing Tanaka," you laughed and opened the food boxes before grabbing some plates and utensils for them to serve themselves.
You guys ate and finally put on a movie, moving the coffee table to you, Noya, Tanaka, Tadashi, and Hinata could all huddle up on the floor infront of the tv, leaving Tsukishima and Kageyama on the couch. "Hey, im home honey. Hi boys," your mom called, a big bag in hands as she slipped off her shoes. "Hi y/ns mom!" Noya called and she brought the cake over to you.
"Happy birthday Noya, and hello Kageyama, its been a while since ive seen you, you're so big," your mom patted his shoulder and he nodded. "Hello Mrs. y/l/n," he spoke politely as Tsukishima quietly laughed at him. "Behave okay? Im heading to bed. Oh, and Kageyama, your mother invited us over tomorrow so i can take you home tomorrow, " she flashed a warm smile and your face lit up as you sat up from the cuddle pile.
"I haven't been to your house in years," you exclaim and placed a hand on Kageyamas knee, giggling. He shifted a bit, causing your hand to fall and he hummed, "because Tokyo is far." You roll your eyes and lay down back between Nishinoya and Hinata. "And im not sleeping over, my moms coming in 10 minutes to pick me up."
"Ah, well either way, ill see you tomorrow Tobio," your mom waved and left to her room. It was silent as you guys kept your eyes glued to the screen. Eventually Kageyama left, so Tsukishima joined the cuddle pile until you guys got tired. Hinata and Tadashi took the couch, Tanaka and Nishinoya draped over each other near the couch, Tsukishima laying next to you on the blanket that covered the itchy carpet.
You sat up, on your phone after your friends from Nekoma decided to blow up your phone.
"You still awake?" You jumped at the voice, thinking everyone was asleep, and you turned to the voice to see the salty blonde slipping on his glasses. "Yeah, my friends texted me," you whispered before turning off your phone, the room being engulfed by darkness and you took your spot next to Tsukishima. "So you and Kageyama?" He propped his head up on his hand as he looked at you.
"Yeah, he's weird. He hasn't been talking to me that much the past few weeks." You rest your head on the pillow and pull the blanket up over you. Tsukishima hums lightly before fixing his pillow, "is he always like this? He doesnt seem that way around the team."
"I guess? Hes always been dry and stand offish since we were children, but to other people he was different." You felt tired, and Tsukishima could sense it. "Rest, worry your head tomorrow." He pats your head before taking his glasses back off and lays down, you smile. "Thanks Tsukki."
"Dont call me that."
Once it became morning, Tanaka and Nishinoya were the firsts to leave, followed by Tadashi. You had just come out of the shower, finding Hinata folding his blankets and cleaning up the living room, and Tsukishima talking to your mom in the kitchen as he helped wash dishes. "Good morning mom," you yawned and grabbed a key from one of the drawers. "Im gonna stop by the store, wanna come with Tsukki? Hinata?"
Tsukishima looked at your mom and she nodded, telling him it was okay and that she'd finish the dishes on her own. You left the house with the two males, taking the short walk to the store. "You're going to Kageyamas right?" Hinata asked, bouncing to keep warm in the cold air. You nod and swing the keys around your finger, "yeah, in a few hours, oh! Let me text him."
(Sent October 11th at 1:17 pm)
Y/N: [Morning Tobio!]
[I'll see you in a few hours!]
As you waited for his answer, Tsukishima spoke up. "Not to.. seem like im putting you on the spot but.. doesn't he ignore you?" He kept his hands in his pockets and his gaze forward and Hinata gasped, "Tsukki that sounds mean!" He smacked his arm, causing the taller to look down at him. "I'm just saying that its not the best way to treat someone," he rolls his eyes and Hinata scoffs. "As if you can talk."
You sigh and laugh, placing a hand on both the males arms, "calm down you two, geez." They relax in your touch and Tsukishima continues. "Seriously tho, he could be just, y'know.. being a bitch," he he spoke, putting an emphasis on bitch. "Or he could be hiding something!" Hinata gasps and you laugh at them. "Yeah yeah, but its whatever really, this is how ive always seen Tobio, it'd be weird if he was any different. Though id like it alot if he DID be a little less dry."
You remembered the talk you and Tsukishkma had before, he always brought up Kageyama and your relationship with him. Soon you started to think the same was he did. Was Kageyama really just being mean? Isnt that just how he always is? Why does he act different around others? Was it you, or was it him?
You kicked off your shoes as you stepped into the warm house with a bright smile, "hello Mrs. Kageyama!" You greeted as she pulled you into a hug. "Hello y/n, my you've grown! Tobio is in his room, can you take him his plate? This one is your" She said and handed you two plates. You smiled and nodded your head like a gibby child and she patted your back as you made youe way to Kageyamas room. You kicked on the door because your arms were occupied.
You heard a bed creak and a few seconds after, the door opened and was almost closed back in your face if it weren't for him catching a glimpse at the plates. "Come in," he mumbled and let you in. You walked over to his bed and put his plate down on his bed and sat on the end as he closed the door. "Wow, your room has changed alot," you smile and look around the room at his posters and pictures on the walls.
"Mhm," he plopped back down on his bed and went on his phone. You noticed this and furrowed your brows, taking a bite of your food. "You know, for someone on their phone alot, you sure do ignore my texts alot," you mainly joked, but you guessed that he didnt catch on when his expression changed and he mumbled an apology. Was that guilt on his face?
You decided to stay silent and just scroll through social media and eat your food. After a few minutes of just silence, Kageyama finished his plate and got up to take it upstairs. "Hey Kags," you called before he left and you held your plate out to him, "can you take this for me?"
"You barely ate any thing," he said and you shook the plate a little bit, causing him to grab it, scared it would fall. "I'll bring you a meatbun," he murmured and left the room. You smiled slightly at the mention of meatbuns, and stood up to stretch your legs.
You grabbed a napkin from Kageyamas bedside dresser and wiped any food off of your mouth. He had a small trash bin in the corner of his room, so you went to throw away your napkin, looking at his posters and pictures on the wall. When you opened the bin, there was a large stack of pictures atop all of the trash.
All being pictures that had you and him in them.

a superhero au from this ask.
okay so in this au superheroes join different sects as disciples and go through a superhero training program and then if they pass they become official superheroes for the sect
for the most part things stay the same, your good guys go out and defeat evil and save the day but there’s also a bunch of extra stuff bc they’re in a sect
the extra stuff is mostly legal stuff like if you destroy a building in a fight, who pays for it and what happens if a superhero goes rogue, who stops them?
so the sects are good bc they give that security and also make sure things run smoothly, so you don’t end up with three superheroes in the one area
obviously you still have independent superheroes but they usually get picked up by a sect pretty quickly (or join the wens who are just the bad guys i guess but shh they’re hiding it,, badly)
for the most part though, new heroes realise they can’t cut it and quit
notice the most, because there are a few people who don’t, including people like the yiling patriarch 
so, worldbuilding aside, let’s start with lwj
bc we still have sects, lwj and lxc both went through the training program together and even graduated a few years early, meaning they debuted pretty young
they were both way too powerful to actually be needed in the field most of the time so lxc ended up helping his uncle and lwj started teaching at the training program (and even when he is needed, it’s usually enough just to send lxc, so he hasn’t been active in like five years)
life is going pretty okay for lwj but then there’s a fight between some wens and yllz and a building ends up being destroyed - lwj’s apartment building
at first he’s like whatever i’ll just stay at a hotel till it gets fixed but then he gets told that there’s some issue with the building regulations so it’ll be more than a year
lwj goes apartment hunting and ends up finding the perfect apartment. it’s spacious and convenient and looks really nice and the only drawback is his neighbour (spoiler: it’s wwx)
now we have wwx
he used to be a disciple with the jiang sect and was on track to graduate their training program probably even younger than the twin jades but then he dropped out suddenly. no one knows why 
what happened was that wwx had befriended wen ning at an intersect meeting thing where the training heroes could compete against each other 
when wen ning found out the truth about the wens being evil, he begged wen qing to take their family and leave the wens to get to safety. wen qing refused bc who would they go to? who would risk everything they had to keep them safe?
wei wuxian would. 
and he did!! when he found out what the wens had gone through, he immediately quit the jiang sect and spent the next four years helping them go in hiding, making fake identities etc. 
the only people who refused to leave were wen qing and wen ning and a-yuan so wwx was like i’ve done my best now we gotta live and ends up buying an apartment for the four of them and gets a job
at night he goes out as yllz and tries to bring the wens down. it’s slow-going at first and he’s just busting minor crimes and not really gathering any useful information but he keeps going bc a-yuan and the others will never be safe for as long as the wens are able to keep hurting people
he works a full-time job during the day and spends his nights fighting crime and he’s always tired and sore but it’s fine because he needs to do this but then one day his new neighbour moves in next door
the first time he meets him, he’s come back from work and by the time he bakes a welcome cake it’s like 10:40 and he goes over and knocks on his neighbour’s door and the guy eventually answers and holy fuck he’s hot (also grumpy bc lwj does not appreciate being woken up)
lwj slams the door in his face without even taking it from him, so wwx just leaves it on his doorstep and goes back home to nap for a few hours before going on patrol
the next day when he gets home from work there’s a letter in front of his door and when he opens it it just says thanks for the cake it was very delicious if unnecessary
wwx writes on the back: it’s all fine! i’m glad you liked it. if you need any help settling in, i’d be more than happy to help. he adds his phone number and then he leaves the note on lwj’s door and that’s where it all starts
the next morning he wakes up to a text from lwj saying that he appreciates the offer & his name. it’s short and kind of rude but wwx is lying there going lan zhan, lan zhaaaan, his name is lan zhan 
they run into each other in the morning a few times and take the elevator down together and wwx always chatters at him. lwj doesnt really respond but he doesn’t tell him to shut up either so that’s practically permission
and wwx is no idiot. he knows that hot neighbour + texting ability = potential romance so he makes sure to text lwj a lot 
and by a lot, i mean a lot. lwj is sitting in a meeting with his brother and by the time he finishes he has fifty new messages
but that’s okay bc lwj kinda likes the attention he thinks? lwj’s neighbour is funny and cute 
and after a while, lwj starts responding properly. it’s not like he’s sending 50 messages back but he’s engaging wwx in conversation and sometimes they call and once, when wwx was coming back from work, lwj had invited him in for tea
when lwj realises that wwx goes to work early and gets home late he starts inviting wwx over for dinner. wwx doesn’t mention that wen ning is more than able to cook dinner (if he ever mentioned that he was living with him at all) and they start having dinner not-dates and sometimes wwx falls asleep on lwj’s couch
the first few times wwx always felt really guilty bc lwj doesn’t want to put up with that and he’s letting down the wens but wen qing is like no, it’s good, you need to take some time for yourself and lwj is like it’s fine so whatever, wwx can sleep on lwj’s couch now
except it’s not just lwj’s couch bc wwx keeps waking up leaning on lwj and it’s very embarrassing bc he’s starting to find that he has difficulties sleeping without being able to hear lwj’s heartbeat 
so wwx is falling in love. wen ning is supportive and wen qing is probably laughing at him but wwx is so conflicted
on one hand, wwx’s entire life revolves around the wens and trying to stop them or protect them, and here lwj is, a completely normal man, who has no expectations about wwx. he doesn’t need to be a guardian for lwj, he doesn’t need to be the terrifying yiling patriarch, he can just be wwx
on the other hand, lwj is a civilian and wwx doesn’t want to drag lwj down with him and risk him getting hurt or killed
so he decides to stay as friends. he won’t give lwj up but he won’t tell him he loves him (unless something happens to make wwx need to give lwj up, in which case he will)
around this time lwj gets a call from his uncle asking for help with the yllz
he’s never met him before but lwj does not like the yllz 
like yes he’s taking down the wens which probably makes him good but he’s also taking what the wens had stolen for himself
so no one knows whether he’s a villain stealing from the wens or a hero who doesn’t trust the official means
Either way it’s a bad look for lwj & co bc they either look incompetent for not knowing about this guy & not being able to stop him or untrustworthy and maybe even corrupt 
but lqr wants lwj to either bring him in as a disciple or as a criminal. whichever is easier
the first time hanguang-jun shows up to a fight wwx is completely shocked bc he vaguely remembers seeing hanguang-jun fight at the practise matches and he was good, definitely on par with wwx so if hanguang-jun were to fight him he isn’t sure that he’d win. 
wwx quickly finishes off the wens and then turns to lwj, refusing to let his guard down but hanguang-jun just asks what he’s doing
wwx is cagey at first but eventually reveals the truth (or as much as he can tell) and hanguang-jun is like i don’t like your methods but what you’re doing is just, so i’ll help you and so commences the most awkward team up ever
wwx had expected to have to carry most of the weight but hanguang-jun is there defending him and helping him fight the wens and he can’t help but start to trust hanguang-jun.
hanguang-jun blocks a hit meant for wwx and wwx spends like half an hour carefully cleaning the wound on his arm and bandaging it up and at the end he presses a kiss to it and he immediately goes bright red but it’s okay bc hgj’s ear are red too
wwx slips on a roof and hgj ends up catching him and damn he’s strong and the look of concern on his face is almost making wwx think hgj doesn’t hate him
hgj brings in some intel once and wwx automatically goes damn i could kiss you right now and then decides to just become one with the floor
not only that but wwx talks a lot. when he’s patrolling, when he’s fighting, when he’s waiting,, he never shuts up and hanguang-jun listens to him every time and, just as wwx fell for lwj, he starts falling for hanguang-jun
it’s even worse in this case bc hanguang-jun is all righteous and good and here wwx is using the superhero equivalent of demonic cultivation (has he perverted his own powers or did he always have necromancy powers? up to you)
so here wwx is falling in love with hanguang-jun and lwj and he feels terrible about it
there is definitely a case going on in the background but it’s basically just the sunshot campaign if only lwj and wwx were fighting it for the most part
eventually he complains to wq about his feelings and she’s like just try confessing! so the next time he and hanguang-jun team up he tells him that he loves him
 lwj is 100% in love wwx and semi in love with yllz. for the most part, the things he loves about yllz all remind him of wwx so he doesn’t really see it as a crush as much as more yearning for wwx
but lwj is very awkward so he gives this kinda terrible rejection? he’s like im sorry, i don’t return your feelings maybe we should work apart for a while?
from his pov he’s giving yllz room to deal w/ his emotions alone and they’ll team up later but from wwx’s pov hanguang-jun is so disgusted he never wants to work with him again
so they go their separate ways and when wwx gets a tip-off about some weird shit about to go down at nightless city so he sneaks in by himself bc hanguang-jun definitely wouldn’t want to help him and ends up getting captured by wen ruohan
lwj, for his part, is freaking out bc wwx hasn’t responded to his texts in over a week and maybe he’s come on too strong and wwx has figured out his feelings and is letting him down gently? (by disappearing??)
but then wq comes banging on his door and asks to come in. he lets her in and she immediately tells him i know you’re hanguang-jun
lwj is defensive and ready to be blackmailed or something but she just explains that wwx has gone missing and he’d received a tip the day before he disappeared and when lwj sees the message wwx had got he’s just like why is wwx involved with the wens?
because he’s yllz, wen qing tells him and lwj is Buffering
reason 1: yllz wasn’t meant to be someone he liked and lwj had definitely been feeling guilty about the fact that he would need to be brought in bc he is morally dubious on main & he can’t reconcile that with the sweet and kind wwx 
reason 2: holy shit does wwx like me?
bc lwj is a disaster he only ends up asking about the latter and wq stares at him, dead-eyed and exhausted, and tells him wwx is in love with lwj and hanguang-jun
commence lwj’s plan to get wwx back and confess to him and hopefully get married but he’ll be happy if they just kiss and/or hold hands
 he starts off by explaining most of the stuff to his brother who ends up calling jyl (bc they have to be friends, i’ll cry if they’re not) who is like my brother?!! and decides to help. also probably nhs bc friends who share porn definitely save each other from wen ruohan
so they attack the wens. for most of the heroes it’s bc they finally have proof of wen ruohan being evil (helpfully collated in a colour-coordinated binder by wwx) but lwj is just there for wwx
he finds him in the dungeons or something and wwx is hurt kind of badly and lwj collapses beside him and presses down on the main wound, trying to stop the bleeding
and wwx goes hanguang-jun? what are you doing here? and lwj says nothing just pushing down harder bc he’s losing too much blood and wwx is like oh, do you hate me that much that you won’t even speak to me anymore?
lwj can’t bear it for another second and rips his mask off and wwx just gawks at him. lan zhan? you’re hanguang-jun? wwx stammers and lwj just nods and rips some fabric from his cape (would he have a cape?) and tries to bandage the wound
wwx asks him why he’s here, why he bothered to come for wwx when he doesn’t care for him but he passes out before lwj can actually say anything
he wakes up in hospital and lwj is sleeping in the chair beside him and the second wwx twitches he jolts up and stares at wwx with such relief that wwx wants to blush
i love you, lwj says, not waiting for another second. the reason i didnt accept your confession was because i loved you. i didnt know you were yllz 
and wwx is like and i didnt know you were hanguang-jun!! and lwj is like yeah but wen qing did /:
and wwx is like yeah but she’s smart & they kinda fall quiet for a few moments before wwx is like did you know i think hanguang-jun is very handsome and lwj is like yes? and wwx is like good! lwj is also handsome!
and lwj is like yllz and wwx are attractive to me and they finally kiss and it’s not a complete disaster thankfully
after that lwj goes back to his semi-retirement bc he doesn’t need to catch yllz anymore and sometimes wwx comes in to help teach a class with him and they’ll go home to lwj’s apartment after and watch movies together and not once do they comment on the miscommunication between love interests

uh hi so i wrote that first autistic matteo thing and it felt really good and i want to write more so im gonna write this one thats less sweet and is also maybe me just?? completely projecting??? but thats not new!!!!!
***
Matteo flipped through the shirts and sweaters hanging in his closet, and he frowned, and stared flicking his fingers on the hand that had been resting calmly at his side. He started looking through them again, the other way, wondering if he had missed the sweater he was looking for. Once he had gone through them again, and then again, and he realized that the sweater he wanted definitely wasn’t there, his frown deepened, and he started bouncing on his toes a little.
“What time were we supposed to be leaving again?” David said from the bed, where he was lazily scrolling on his phone, already dressed, and Matteo couldn’t focus enough to remember, so he stayed silent. 
They were going to hang out with Jonas and Hanna, and Matteo knew that they were probably running late, but he was still standing in front of his closet, bouncing, his fingers twitching at his sides, completely dressed except for his bare torso.
He went over to his hamper and started searching through it, trying to remember the last time he had worn his cream-colored sweater with the red pattern. It had to have been recently, as it was one of specific clothing items that Matteo wore often, usually for multiple days in a row. Once he had dug through, and still couldn’t find it, he felt his stomach clench with a familiar feeling.
Some days, Matteo didn’t give a fuck what he wore. He would grab random shit out of his drawers and closet and end up with an outfit that barely matched, but he didn’t care as long as he was clothed. David would usually fondly tease him for the interesting combinations of patterns and fabrics that Matteo would manage to pull on.
And then there were the days where he wanted to wear specific things. Needed to. Like, actually, legitimately needed to. His gray sweatpants, his weird purple jacket, his blue sweatshirt, and lots more, even including some things that he had stolen from David (he hadn’t stolen it, David was more than happy to give up a sweater and a couple of shirts in exchange for a few of Matteo’s). And, his cream-colored sweater with the red pattern, the one he was looking for, and couldn’t find.
“Matteo?” he heard David say as he moved on to dig through a drawer in his dresser, rocking a little as he frantically pushed aside a bunch of shirts and sweatshirts and other things that weren't his sweater. Again, he didn’t answer.
His hands started twitching as his sides as his eyes flit around the room, trying to think if there was anywhere else it could be, and he got an idea. Without saying anything he left the room, ignoring David calling his name, and started searching through the rest of the flat. He couldn’t find it in the kitchen, and by the time he had moved onto the next room David had followed him.
“Matteo, what’s going on? We need to go soon.” He looked annoyed, in a way that David almost never did, and Matteo bit his lip as he felt a wave of shame and panic wash down his spine.
“Have you seen that sweater i have with the red...whatever on it?” He was too focused on looking around the room to explain more, and he hoped David knew what he meant.
“I don’t know? I think you wore it a few days ago, I don’t remember. Can you get dressed so we can leave?”
Matteo stopped for a second to look over at David, who was standing with his arms crossed over his chest, and a smile on his face that seemed a little forced. 
He knew that David had been going a little stir crazy being stuck in the flat with a Matteo who was coming down from an intense sensory overload that had happened a few days prior, but no matter how many times Matteo told him that he was okay to be alone for a little while, David refused to leave. It was the third day, and David had been showing obvious signs of restlessness.
“I want to wear it.” Matteo said back, hoping that David would understand. He was feeling a weird embarrassment that he only felt around David when he was doing something like this, something that was annoying and inconvenient because of his autism. He started flicking his fingers again, his nails digging in a little more, when David frowned.
“I don’t want to be late, Matteo, can you wear something else?“
Matteo froze. He knew that David knew that he preferred wearing certain items, that it made him feel good and calm, and could probably even name the clothes that Matteo wore the most. But he didn’t understand the feeling that was twisting Matteo’s insides up and made him grab onto his arm, and start scratching his nails under the sleeve at even just the suggestion of wearing something else. 
“I- I,” Matteo stuttered for a moment, not able to get the words out through the mixture of shame and anxiety and whatever that other thing was that was filling him up, and he slid his hands into his own hair and started tugging a little as he finally got out, “No. I can’t.”
He was kind of hoping that he looked desperate enough, and was sure that he did, with the way that he was grabbing his own hair and bouncing on his toes, and he had no idea what expression was on his face but it was enough to make the annoyed look on David’s face turn into his concerned one, and Matteo made a small sound out of relief.
“Okay, hey, that’s okay,” David said, as he took a few steps closer, leaving about a foot of space between him and Matteo as he reached his hand out and asked, “can I touch you?” 
Matteo nodded his head jerkily, and David smiled before stepping forward and loosening Matteo’s grip, and let Matteo squeeze his hands instead. Matteo took another step forward and dropped his head to David’s shoulder, and took in a deep, shaky breath,
“Do you want me to help you look? I can text Jonas and say that we’re going to be a little late.” David said,and when Matteo moved his arms to squeeze around his waist, he started stroking his hand down Matteo’s back, pressing a little harder then he might have usually, but the pressure felt amazing and even slightly helped loosen the feeling in his gut.
Matteo nodded, and pulled away so he could grab David’s hand to lead him to his room. He started looking through his closet again, searching through the stuff on the floor, while David texted Jonas and started looking through his dresser. They searched silently for a few minutes, Matteo feeling less of the shame but still all of the thing that made him want to call Jonas and cancel their plans so he didn’t have to think about the possibility of having to wear something else.
“Found it!” he heard David call from the dresser, and he whipped around, a grin growing on his face as David held the sweater up with a grin of his own. He walked over and slid it on over his head, and hummed as he pushed his arms in, and then let the sleeves flop over his hands so he could rub the fabric on his face.
“Feel better?” David said, sliding his hands onto Matteo’s hips and pulling him a little closer. Matteo took a few steps and collapsed onto David, and smiled when he heard him chuckle.
“Yeah, way better,” Matteo sighed into David’s shoulder, and then turned his head a little and bit his lip before saying, “I’m sorry I made us late.”
“No, don’t apologize, I should be the one apologizing,” David said, pulling away a little so he could look Matteo in the eyes (who tried to return the gaze, he really did, but ended up looking at David’s nose after a second), “I was being a dick, i didn’t realize that it was something you needed. I’m just glad we found it.”
“You found it,” Matteo said, pulling David in again, getting a hand in his hair, “and you weren’t being a dick.”
They hugged for a moment, Matteo feeling almost overwhelmed but in a good way with the feeling of David squeezing him tight, finally wearing the sweater, his fingers sliding through David’s hair, and he was even a little more excited to hang out with their friends.
David only pulled away when his phone buzzed, and Matteo whined before grabbing onto the back of his shirt and clenching his hand in the fabric, and followed when David didn’t stop. He wasn’t ready to give up the feel of David pressed against him so he draped himself on David’s back, his arms winding around his waist and squeezing a little.
“Oh, shit,” David said, and laughed a little, before dropping his head back onto Matteo’s shoulder and saying, “they just cancelled on us.”
“Oh no,” Matteo said, in an exaggerated sarcastic tone, “I guess that means we need to stay here and cuddle.”
David snorted as Matteo pulled away to tug him onto the bed, and pushed David onto his back so he could curl up on his chest. He rubbed his cheek against the fabric of David’s shirt and smiled when he heard just as sarcastically from above him, “Oh no, how terrible!”
“It really is,” Matteo said, feeling more relaxed and content than he had in days, that feeling growing as David slid his arms around Matteo’s waist and held him tight, “truly the greatest tragedy of the decade.”

You’re a snack - Tom Holland x reader
Tumblr media
word count: 2,3K
warnings: curse words, the usual, also there are so many god-awful puns in this im sorry 
pairing: Tom Holland x reader
Hello! I’m back with a blurb, I browsed Tumblr one night and I came across the prompt “I buy lunch at this grocery store every day and you're always there and you're my favourite cashier.”   So! Enjoy this, its pure fluff!
You had a favourite grocery store that was your go-to store, no matter what. Usually it was to buy lunches to bring to work, other times you  went there to pick up veggies and produce as such. A few weeks ago however, there was a new cashier. A really, really cute one with big brown eyes, a wide smile, gorgeous thick curly hair and a hell of a body from what you could tell. He was your favourite cashier because he'd been in each time you came in to buy stuff and you found that he was always smiling, laughing and always helping people.
      Whether it be old ladies or teenage boys. He was a charmer for sure and just like the old ladies, you were smitten by him even though you'd hardly spoken to him. You simply admired him from a bit of a distance, the few times he'd been at the cash register to check your things out, he would say hello with a blush. You had no idea why either, it was the strangest thing, but he made you feel much the same. Like whenever you were in his presence you couldn't help but to fumble over your words and blush furiously, feeling your palms sweat and heart race. You were a grown woman for christ sake! A boy, albeit a really cute one, shouldn't have this effect on you, yet alas, here you were. You stood in line, waiting to get your groceries checked out, having 3 people infront of you, when the cashier currently sitting there scanning the peoples things, got swapped out, due for a break and in came the cute boy. You inwardly groaned at the state he'd be seeing you in now.   Dressed in gray sweats, an over-sized baby-blue sweater with gold thread in it, your hair up in a bun on the top of your head and no makeup on, your glasses perched ontop of your nose. You felt a right mess, and he looked like a God. It finally came to be your turn, you gave the cute boy a small smile, the tag on his shirt saying "Tom", as you lined up your groceries on the band. You thought nothing of it when he scanned the beans you had, when all of a sudden you heard him say, "How ya bean?" and you looked over at him, mouth slightly parted, seeing the cheeky grin on his face. "Did you just...make a pun out of my groceries?" you asked trying to keep a straight face. "Maybe, taters gonna tate," he grinned mischievously as he scanned your potatoes. "But.. how have you bean?" he pressed and you laughed softly, "I've bean good, how about yourself?" you grinned, glancing at him, biting your lip. "I'm doing berry good thanks for asking," he smiled, looking at you. You let out a louder laugh slapping your hand over your face trying your damndest to not let it show just how fucking endearing you thought he was with his stupid ass puns. This was ridiculous, but in the best way possible. "Good god, that was horrible," you laughed hopelessly, letting him finish scanning your groceries and you paid, "But I made you smile right?" he asked adorably and you couldn't help but blush. "You did," you smiled, bagging your things, "Kale me crazy, but I'm glad I used those puns on you," he grinned and you let out another laugh, "I'm glad you did too," you smirked, "Have a nice day," you smiled at him, seeing him perk up, "Thanks a bunch!" he happily said making you laugh once again, he had a pun for everything didn't he?  
Once you had left, your heart was beating faster than normally, that had been your first exchange and already you wanted more. You wanted to go back there and see what other puns he had in store for you the next time you went grocery shopping.                                                      ....
That happened a couple of days later, when you were running low on some fruits, so you stood in the fruit isle looking at the oranges there, when all of a sudden you heard a voice say, "Orange you glad to see me?" you turned around seeing Tom there grinning at you, making butterflies in your stomach go crazy, you bit your lip looking over at your left and you picked up a kiwi, "You've gotta be kiwi-ing me," you giggled and he raised his eyebrows impressed. "Well done," he applauded and you blushed, "Thank you, as you can tell I worked hard on that one, can't have you upstaging me all the time," you giggled, picking up a few oranges, putting them in your cart. "I ap-peach-iate your hard work," he smirked and you groaned at that.
"No, that's awful!" you said, but your lips tugged up in a smile nonetheless. "You loved it!" he boasted and you shook your head giggling, "I hated it," you giggled bluffing and he knew it, which just made him laugh. 
And oh, what a laugh. It could cure all bad things in the world, it was such a pure and infectious laughter that made you want to laugh along with him.  
"Well, now that there's been an ice-breaker, what's your name?" he asked looking at you with those big eyes of his, a smile resting on his face. "Oh, uhm it's Y/N," you said seeing his face lit up. "Y/N," he tried out making your heart skip a beat at how good your name sounded coming from his mouth. "You've definitely made grocery shopping much more fun," you admitted and he absolutely glowed at hearing that, "Yeah?" he said hopefully and you nodded, looking around you seeing how empty the store was, you bit your lip now before looking up at him, "Do you uhm, wanna help me? Shop for groceries?" you asked, feeling your cheeks redden. In all honesty, you just wanted to spend a bit more time with him. His face brightened up at your request though which relieved you, knowing he'd say yes now. Maybe you weren't reading the signals wrong after all. Sometimes self-doubt could be such a bitch. "I'd love too," he smiled, reaching over and taking your cart from you. You bit your lip, hiding a smile as you picked up some of the things you needed. "Look at you all gentleman-y and all," you teased and he let out a small laugh, "Well of course," he pretend curtsied and you laughed loudly at his antics. You stopped and put in some carrots in the cart. "Do you use horrible puns on all of your customers?" you asked curiously, looking over at him seeing him blush at the question, right before a cheeky grin took over his face. "Hey! They're not horrible!" he protested, "Only the really gorgeous ones though," he winked making you blush in turn. "You think I'm gorgeous?" "Hell yeah, so much that I find you very a-peel-ing," he smirked and you snorted, "You're not too bad yourself," you admitted with a grin. "Well thank you! So, how about going on a date with me then?" he bravely asked looking right at you, "Are you leaving the puns at home then?" you retorted and he laughed softly, "Now you're just being un-raisin-able," making you sigh dramatically, "Yes, I would very much like to go on a date with you. Puns and all," you smiled seeing the smile spreading on his face too. "Yeah?" he affirmed and you nodded. He hummed to himself with a grin, "Yeah, you're fun and very charming, I wanna see where this could lead," you admitted and he nodded, "I feel the same about you," he smiled at you and you felt butterflies fill your stomach hearing him say that about you. "Thank you," you said suddenly feeling shy and he noticed, 
"How about tonight?" he asked smoothly, stopping when you did, adding some bacon to your cart, "Tonight works," you said with a grin and he did too now. You felt so relieved and now you were getting excited for tonight, "Yeah? Hang on," he said and you looked at him seeing him pull out his phone and he tapped on it for a moment, before he pushed it into your hands. You added your number into his phone quickly, handing it back. "I get off at 7,"  he said  and you couldn't help but to smirk, "Oh do you now?" you asked sassily and he rolled his eyes, "Well look at you, getting ballsy," he smirked and you giggled with a small blush. "Wouldn't you like to know just how ballsy I can get," you countered and he bit his lip, eyes darkening just a little at the suggestion. "I'm not opposed," he said with a wink and you blushed even more. "Let's get through our date first Casanova," you got out and he chuckled, nodding, "As I was saying," he started with a mock-pointed stare at you, "I get off at 7, how does it work for you?" he asked, "That works for me, I can come by here and we can figure out where to go after that?" you asked a little unsure, looking at him, "Yeah that sounds like a great idea actually. I've got some stuff here so I can shower, so how about you come by here around 7:20?" he pondered and you couldn't help but to just admire his beauty, you nearly forgot what he asked you. "Hm? Oh! Yes, that works for me," you grinned and you saw the smile spread on his face. "I'm really fucking pumped," he said almost shyly and you felt so relieved to hear him say that, "I am too," you laughed softly, both of you making your way to the cash register and he got in behind and checked your things out. The both of you checking eachother out, without saying much, but it felt very comfortable so you didn't mind it. "I'll text you later," he smiled when you were all done and you couldn't help but to smile yourself, "I look forward to it, and to tonight," you blushed seeing his smile get even bigger. You were so excited, that as soon as you left the store you let out a small squeal.                                                     .... You waited outside of the store where Tom told you to. Once you had gotten home you had spent the entire afternoon texting him, the both of you getting to know eachother even more. 
You felt giddy, like you were 15 years old again talking to your first ever crush. You didn't know it was possible to feel so giddy and excited over a date, but what made you feel more reassured was that Tom was equally as excited, you knew it before he said so.   Before you could get too lost in your thoughts, the door opened and Tom walked out, effectively knocking the breath out of your lungs. He looked delicious enough to eat in a pair of dark blue jeans, a snug white t-shirt that showed off the contours of his abs through the shirt and a leather jacket and a baseball cap on backwards. You eyed him up and down licking your lips, not realising that he was doing the very same thing to you. "Well, hello," he smirked reaching over giving you a hug. You melted slightly in his arms and you discreetly breathed in his cologne. He smelled so good, very fresh, you couldn't put your finger on the smell, but it was very much Tom. "Hi," you replied slightly muffled by his jacket, slowly the two of you pulling away ever so slightly and he wasted no time in taking your hand, lacing your fingers together. "You look rad-ishing," he said as you began walking and you let out a groan, "For fucks sake," you said before you burst out laughing, "You look really rad-ishing too," you said giving his hand a squeeze. "Thanks babe," he grinned making your heart race at the pet name he used on you. "What a spud muffin you are," you giggled and he let out a laugh, "Well well, have I rubbed off on you?" he asked cheekily and you grinned, "You wish you could rub one off on me," you said confidently seeing his eyes widen just a smidge before he laughed even more, "We're gonna have a great time tonight, you and me," he promised and all of a sudden you felt anticipation, but for a whole other reason. "I sure hope so," you winked "Well, plans are made, I've oranged everything so let's head to dinner," he grinned and you giggled, 
“Let's go then, but first...I think you should egg-plant a kiss on me," you said shyly. He stopped and turned towards you, his lips quirked up in a wide smile, moving closer to you and you held your breath, watching his every move. Your heart was pounding so loudly you were sure he could hear it. 
Your toes were touching and you looked up at him, seeing just how close his face was to yours, his breath falling onto your face and you closed your eyes, your hands resting behind his neck, playing with the curls at the nape of his neck. His arms went around your waist, holding you securely against his chest. At first, it was just a gentle brush of his lips over yours before he pulled away, but you used your hand on his neck to pull him in, pressing your lips against his more insistently, your lips locking with his. It felt as though your body was coming alive, little jolts of electricity coursing through your body as the two of you stood on the pavement kissing like there was no tomorrow, all wrapped up in eachother. Slowly, you both pulled away and you opened your eyes seeing him look at you, a small, content smile on his face. "You're so fig-in amazing," he whispered pecking your lips as you started laughing.

a/n: since i don’t have time to write a full fic but have been in the mood to write i thought i’d have a go at bullet point scenarios :D this was inspired by that viral tweet ‘whenever im sad i text this girl to show me her cat’!! hope it isn’t too bad <3
so you have a cat, a beautiful ragdoll cat, lovingly named cracker
and you have no idea why or how but certain places on your college campus allow residents to have pets
you’re not complaining because it means you were able to bring your lil friend from back home with you to college
and she has the brightest blue eyes that your best friend renjun swears hypnotises people into giving her treats
the top of her head, around her ears and just under her jaw, is an ashy grey with some parts a slightly darker grey
the rest of her is white
she’s the most elegant feline ever and her tail has a sassy sway to it whenever she walks around your dorm
at the beginning of the year someone created an instagram page dedicated to the campus’s pets and it was instantly popular
even endorsed by the college itself because it’s a pure expression of admiration and love for students’ pets and really what’s better than that
so your roommate submitted pictures she took of your cat to go onto the page after you offhandedly mentioned that cracker would be the most popular pet on the page
you were not wrong
cracker instantly captured everyone’s attention and became the most liked picture on the account to the point where the owner of the page messaged ur roommate to ask for more pictures (“i told you! it’s the eyes, i swear! she’s like a witch!” –renjun)
people on campus even started approaching your roommate to ask about the cat and she had to direct them all to you, each person asking you to start your own instagram page for your little popular queen
you said no every time because you’re a struggling college student who spends all her time in college or working to earn money which is then spent on ur damn cat you don’t have time to run an instagram account for her
and she’s already spoiled enough you don’t want to boost cracker’s ego too much
unbeknownst to you, jeno fell completely in love with cracker the second he saw her on the Instagram page (jeno, an avid visitor of the campus pet instagram page) and would always whine to his friends about how cute the cat is
since he’s allergic he can’t own them himself and his roommate, jaemin, uses this excuse every time jeno even BEGINS thinking about owning a pet
every time a new picture of cracker was posted on the campus instagram page he’d get so excited and be the first to comment and like
he’d get teased by his friends too because essentially jeno was a really big fan of cat, an animal, compared to donghyuck who would be freaking out over the new red velvet selfie – they’re in different worlds
BUT jeno can’t get over how enchanting cracker’s large eyes are, how fluffy her tail is, how photogenic a CAT is and he’s completely enamoured by your little feline
so one night there’s a big party to celebrate the end of the first term but you sadly can’t go since you don’t feel too good and don’t want to make yourself worse
it’s also cracker’s birthday and the SECOND you coughed and your throat felt scratchy you knew it was a sign from the gods to stay home and celebrate w your cat
your roommate goes tho, after feeding cracker one too many treats as a birthday gift, and since you offered to pick her up if need be she said she’ll text you later
at midnight you get a text from an unknown number
[00:17am, UNKNOWN]: heyyyyyyyyyyy
you think its your roommate texting from someone else’s phone because hers died so you respond instantly with ‘you good?’
[00:20am, UNKNOWN]: im great havea quesiotn
[00:20am, you]: shoot
[00:21am, UNKNOWN]: sned ur cat
[00:22am, you]: what? Call me
your phone rings a minute later and when you answer
it’s not your roommate
it’s a boy you’ve never heard before and he’s mumbling incoherently and it worries you
not only because you were expecting your roommate but because this guy sounds absolutely GONE and you can picture him swaying from side to side due to intoxication
you ask him his name about ten times before you get an actual answer: jeno
you recognise the name as one of renjun’s friends so you know you can at least trust him to some extent
he keeps saying ‘send your cat’ and you don’t quite know what he means so when you ask him he says
“i love your cat”
that’s it. He keeps repeating ‘send your cat’ and ‘i love your cat’ and no matter what else you say to him, ‘go drink some water!’ ‘where are you?’ ‘do you need me to call someone?’, he keeps going on about cracker and you look at the cat lying next to you, lazily cleaning her paws, and hang up on him
you take the party hat you had taken pictures of her in earlier and put it back on her head, telling her you’re sorry you have to put it back on and promise her treats if she sits still, and bring up the camera app on your phone
then you go back to your messages and send two of the best pictures you took of her to this jeno guy, hoping you’re understanding him correctly and that you can convince him to listen to you after he’s seen the picture
the response you get is a bunch of keyboard smashes
you call him back and he’s.. crying? kind of? he sounds choked up but he’s so drunk you wouldn’t be surprised if he actually was crying from happiness
he’s much more willing to listen to you after seeing cracker and keeps telling you how cute she is and it sounds like he’s trying to stand up from wherever he is from the shuffling on the other end of the call
then there’s more shuffling and another voice, much more sober, comes through the receiver
“im so sorry, whoever you are. jeno’s a mess. im taking him home now, im his roommate, he’s ok. bye.”
and the call ends
you go to sleep, still a little worried for jeno, but your worries are quashed when you wake up because jeno has texted you again
much more sober and embarrassed
[11:57am, UNKNOWN]: im so sorry omg
[11:57am, UNKNOWN]: you must hate me haha
[11:57am, UNKNOWN]: i got too drunk sorry you can block my number if you want
[11:57am, UNKNOWN]: thank u for the cat pictures tho im a big fan
your heart warms at the texts because he seems to feel guilty and it’s endearing, and then you smile when you read the text about your cat
you reply telling him it’s ok, you’re not mad at all and you’re glad he got home safe, but how did he get your number? you’ve never spoken before?
he explains that he has memory of drunk jeno asking renjun for your number, to which he was bluntly rejected and told no, and then asked around the party for who has your number until he stumbled upon someone who gave it to him with a wink
[13:10pm, JENO?]: i think people think i was trying to make a move on you haha
jeno apologises about twelve more times throughout the conversation and you tell him it’s ok every time
and ask if a picture of cracker will make him feel better
…to which he responds yes instantly
and from then on even though you and jeno barely know each other, your only connection renjun and now your cat, a bond formed
jeno would text you at random times with random messages asking for a picture of cracker
and if you were able to you were more than happy to oblige
renjun thought it was really weird that you two became almost..friends… just through occasionally texting and sending pictures of an animal to him
jaemin initially thought jeno finally got a significant other since whenever he’d look at him jeno would be smiling at his phone, texting with quick fingers to respond to whoever he was talking to
renjun broke jaemin’s heart when he told him jeno was happy over a cat
but he pieced it back together when he mentioned the owner of the cat was an attractive female
this goes on for several months before one day you receive a text saying there’s a package available to be picked up for you? and you’re like? Who
so you go pick it up and when you get back to your dorm you cautiously open it to find an array of cat treats and cat toys
there’s even a little post-it note with a cute message for cracker
to cracker, the best kitty cat in all the land! im your biggest fan!! –jeno :)
you can’t help but smile at the post-it, your cheeks heating and a small riot of butterflies in your stomach
you chide yourself because you really don’t know this boy, if you think about it, and you shouldn’t be getting feelings over someone you’ve only ever spoken to in person once or twice
and the post-it was written to your cat, not you..so..
you glare slightly at cracker as she sniffs and noses at the treats on the table
but then take pictures of her with her mountain of gifts and send it to jeno with a bunch of heart emojis
jeno, eating lunch with his friends at the time, instantly smiles and blushes at your response, replying with smiley faces
jaemin, nudging jeno: that your gf?
renjun: if it’s the damn cat jeno i swear to god
jeno: uh
jeno doesn’t bother mentioning that although the cat pictures were cute, he was happier about the hearts you sent to him
a week later, you have another package delivery
its jeno again
the week after, another package. Jeno
the week after that, yet another package. who? jeno.
this goes on for at least another two months
you’re stocked on treats for cracker to last you the next several years
enough toys that your dorm is covered constantly, as if you own a toddler instead of a cat
your roommate thinks it’s the cutest thing ever that jeno is doing this and is CONVINCED that jeno is doing it for YOU, not for cracker
you, with red cheeks and looking at the floor to avoid eye contact: shut up u know nothing
until
it’s a dark day, a dark night, looming dark clouds stuck in the sky that threaten to unleash downpours at any second
and you’ve just left the vet that isn’t too far from your dorm
cracker isn’t with you
it was sudden, so abrupt you didn’t have time to process everything and you’re still slightly dazed
when you get back to your dorm your roommate is there, sitting with cups of tea ready for whatever you want to give her
she notices the absence of your best friend and understands instantly, hugging you gently as you lean into her and break down
cracker had fallen ill suddenly, by no fault of your own, and when you reached the vet you were already in tears with a tight stomach, as if you knew what was coming
the vet told you with sad eyes the best option was to leave cracker with her and let her do what she has to, to save cracker a lot of pain
after a teary but warm goodbye, you saw cracker for the last time
the following day, at such bad timing it felt like the world was laughing at you, you receive another package from jeno
you pick the package up but don’t open it
you ask your roommate to inform that stupid pet instagram about cracker, a bitter tone to your voice
even though cracker was your cat and so her death shouldn’t be anyone else’s business, you knew people would start asking questions if cracker no longer appeared on the page
you assume jeno will see the account’s post about the loss of cracker and he does, sending you a short but sweet message saying cracker was the best cat ever, which she was, and that she lived the best life with the best owner, which she did
you don’t reply though, too choked up to look at the message for too long
jeno asks renjun about you every day and a week or two later he’s glad to hear you’re feeling much better and are getting back into routine
one night, a friday, you’re in your dorm typing an essay when you hear a faint meow
you instantly ignore it, putting it down to you still not being quite used to complete silence in your dorm
but then you hear it again, and again, and it doesn’t sound like cracker’s meows
it sounds smaller, weaker almost, and like its coming from right outside your door
even though you’re still slightly convinced that you’re going insane you walk towards your door
you open it tentatively and just enough that you can use one eye to look into the hallway
and there
is a little black kitten
staring up at you
it’s the smallest thing, all black with bright green eyes that look too big for it’s body
and it lets out the same meow you had been hearing that you thought you were imagining
you open your door fully, bending down to gently pet the kitten and look around the hallway to find who left the kitten here
you scan the hallway a couple of times before you notice a head of black hair peeking from the end of the hallway, their eyes wide when you make eye contact with them
slowly, the person steps out from the wall they were hid behind to approach you
it’s jeno
you’re still in shock when he reaches you, and you just stare up at him with an open mouth
“do you like him?”
the words bring you back to earth and you nod before looking at the kitten again, asking, “is he mine?”
jeno nods and smiles widely, “all yours.”
you stand up with the kitten in your arms, the soft creature already snuggling and getting comfortable in your arms, “are you sure?”
jeno giggles at you and you realise he’s much more attractive than you remember, so handsome it makes you flustered
“the second i saw him i thought he’d be perfect for you. there’s something special about him.” jeno shrugs
when you look at the kitten again you repeatedly say thank you to jeno
you’re so surprised by this gift you’re not quite sure what to do with yourself
or what this means
but jeno seems to understand that even though you’re thankful you’re not sure where to go from here
so when he reaches over to very lightly smooth his fingertips over the kitten’s head, he says
“i thought this kitten could be our child. you can have full custody, though. i’ll just stay over on the weekends.”
and you can’t believe what you just heard
your child? stay over at the weekend?
you laugh a little in disbelief
“what does any of that even mean?”
jeno forces out a laugh and jiggles his shoulders slightly as if to compose himself
“this is my, obviously terrible, attempt at asking you on a date.”
oh
you’re in shock all over again, and jeno reaches behind his head to scratch his neck awkwardly
“i mean- you don’t have to. im not forcing you to-though the cat makes it seem like i am, doesn’t it? i don’t mean it like that, i swear. the kitten is yours i promise-“
when jeno sees you smiling at him he stops talking, eyebrows furrowed to show he doesn’t quite understand why you’re looking at him like that
“i’d love to go on a date with you, jeno.”
jeno nods at you several times as he processes the words, then says “great!” with a thumbs up
you smile at each other then, and it’s a warm atmosphere with the sleeping small kitten in your arms
after your first date, and many others, jeno, true to his word, starts staying over on the weekends to look after the kitten
by that i mean he uses the kitten and his ‘custody’ over him to stay over and cuddle with you
even if it means he sneezes aggressively every five minutes

Okay the BIG TODAY THING
It seems i might possibly be gone for six months
I've been talking with my support worker about taking a course at this place thats uhh apparantly gonna help me get better with the depressions and stuff. And we had a meeting to go look around the place and make introductions and stuff but i had NO IDEA it would be all such short notice! I might have to move in IN TWO DAYS FROM NOW, what the fuck!!! And like if its not that its gonna be at the end of the week or next tuesday at the latest. Im so fuckin unprepared and im really freakin out!!
..uhh...how to describe it..well i guess its literally a mental asylum? But it's absolutely NOTHING like the horror movie stereotype! Its not a hospital with cages or locked rooms, its just like a big comfy cute shared house. Like a bunch of completely normal small apartment rooms but they just happen to be all connected to a shared kitchen and stuff and have on site nurses and a big schedule of therapy sessions and group activities like pottery class or bowling. You have the freedom to come and go as you please if you're on "voluntarily admitted" status (that's me!) and even if you're on what they call "sectioned" its still not scary loss of all your freedom. The highest level of sectioning is just like "requires an escort"? You're still allowed to go outside but you have a higher level of supervision from your key worker because you could potentially be a danger to yourself. But that's very rare and most people are only on maximum sectioning for a few weeks at the start of their treatment, if they've come straight from a situation of self harm or other concern factors. Most of the "sectioned" patients just have a time limit on how long they can spend on unsupervised outside activity. It's a pretty generous 8 hours apparantly!
So yeah i was getting worried about nothing, thinking i was gonna be in big scary solitary confinement and locked inside a tiny broom closet or jabbed with brain lazers. It honestly just seems like a summer camp resort for adults! And everyone there seems very nice, and im excited for being able to learn life skills like cooking and potential steps towards getting educational qualifications someday. And to have the help of a more specialist support worker who can assist me with even the smallest little problems. Like this nice lady Tazmin (who might be the one i get?) was saying how they've had other people with social anxiety before, and how we could plan "gradual exposure" to all the things that scare me. Like she said she'd be able to come with me and we'd take the bus and them get off at the next stop. That'd honestly be really helpful to help me get over being scared of the crowded spaces on buses, but i'd never be able to do it normally cos i'd be too embarassed taking such a short bus ride. Plus well itd be a waste of money,but if i'm a patient here i would get a free bus pass so it wouldnt be a problem.
Oh and the area seems really nice! Its so different from my stupid house right now in a crowded neighbourhood with NOTHING but houses everywhere for a mile! Its seriously almost a mile's walk to the ONE SINGULAR SHOP IN THE AREA and they close on sundays and dont sell vegetarian food. :( This area around the shared house thingie is a really nice bustling shops place but not super shops? Like i mean its a lovely village that has all the small shops you need, not a huge skyscrapers busy tourist place. The perfect balance of conveinient and not scary! They have a library and a park so close to the place, and a bazillion charity shops holy FUCK im so excited to have charity shops again!! I think you call them thrift shops in america? But i just always really love bargain hunting and finding nice surprises in places like that! And there's places to do pottery classes and group trips sometimes to do stuff like cinema or bowling or just having your big ol scary therapy meeting at the nice coffee shop at the end ot the road.
So yeah dont worry about me guys, im not trapped in some horribke hell place! I'm sure it'll be as non threatening as an Intensive Therapy Boot Camp can possibly be, im just still nervous as hell cos well yeah I Have Social Anxiety And That Is Why I Am Here In The First Place. Im scared im not gonna be able to succeed at this. I really wanna leave at the end and be all mentally buffed up and ready to make all these nice nurses proud!
Oh and man Richard has been so nice about this?? He was super freaked out and apologetic about it being Scary Short Notice, we had a bit of a dumb misunderstanding where he clearly told me and i clearly said yes but i somehow completely misunderstood what he was saying and thought i was saying yes to something else??? So im so fuckin glad that at the very end of the appointment right when i was gonna get out the car he was like 'oh so remember your suitcase on wednesday' and i was like WHAT. Like man can you imagine how much more terrifying it would have been if i just turned up on wednesday with no supplies but the shirt off my back and was like 'wtf where is he driving me OH GOD NO'. Bunni why you so bad at the good of talking!! Seriously richard thanks so much for clearing it up but also AAAAA i accidentally agreed to the shortest of short notice and i dont know if he's gonna be able to reschedule it!!!
And man i was there crying in his car about how i dont wanna be in hospital on my birthday, and babbling all the different things i had planned fot the next few months. And GOD DAMN MY DUMB BRAIN i ended up blurting out that i had a preorder of a videogame that i was gonna miss. And i straight up started explaining pokemon to my mental health counseller who is also a dj, how damn fake does my life sound?? Anyway he said that i'll still be able to keep him as my support worker when i get back out of this, and we'll still have weekly or monthly meetings while i'm in there. And he keeps reminding me that i'm free to leave if i feel uncomfortable, but i know that i'd feel like a failure if i did! So he legit fuckin goddamn said (THIS SOUNDS SO FAKE) that i could take a day off when the dumb game comes out, and he'd play co op pokemon with me. HOLY GEEZUS RICHARD YOU'RE LIKE THAT HOLY GRAIL OF THERAPISTS! And man he even said it wasnt embarassing for me to sleep with a teddy bear and he'd help me pack it up safe and ensure nobody saw it while we move my bags into my new room. And then i was like "uhh but also the teddy bear is a giant lifesize embarassing pokemon merchandise" and he was like "okay so we need DOUBLE STEALTH". Apparantly the new sequel to Pokemon Go is Pokemon Sneak! God he helped calm me down from this freakout so much, he's always great with lil jokes and motivational sayings. And i talked about how i first started being interested in Obscure Deep Sea Slug Facts because pokemon has some characters based on weird real life animals, and like its Very Educational Honest, And Has Appeal For Both Kids And Adults. How on earth did this turn into Motovational Pokemon Blabber Time??? Anyway thats how i ended up texting a professional psychologist pictures of gastrodon at 7.30pm.
SO
Yeah
In summary
I'm mostly just worried cos this is short notice! And cos its such a big commitment that being short notice is Super Bad. I need to friggin clean the whole house top to bottom in two days, so it doesnt get all gross and attract flies while im gone. And i need to toss out like a hundred bucks worth of frozen food that aint gonna keep for 6 months. And i need to wash all my damn clothes. And i dont even have a suitcase and this is at a terrible time where i dont get paid for a week so i cant buy a new one right now!! And damn i DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO TAKE AAAAAA
And the BIGGEST PROBLEM
Is that i wont be able to talk to you guys for half a year!!!
They dont have wifi and im not allowed to take my computer anyway. They only allow laptops and all i have is a desktop and AAAA its too short notice to save up enough to get a laptop mannnnn! Fuck man i didnt even think about that, i need to go pause my broadband internet for six months, do they even allow you to come back after that long?? And man part of me wants to ask to borrow money from friends to get a laptop but i know this time i cant promise to pay you back within the month cos AAAGH ALL OF THIS SHIT!! Like damn man if anyone is willing to let me pay back a hundred and fifty quid in 6 months??not bloody likely!! And man the only place to get a laptop in TWO GODDAMN DAYS is stupid fuckin Amazon :( but god im gonna go stir crazy being unable to do art or gamemaking or friggin anything to occupy myself!! I can bring my 3ds but i barely have any games for it and ive already finished all of them except harvest moon a new beginning which i quit cos it was bad. And the screen is broken anyway gahhh. SO MANY THINGS I NEED MONEY FOR IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IS NON CONDUCTIVE TO MONEYING
So anyway GAHH i wont have an internet connection in the house, and i'll be able to walk down the hill and use the library computers hopefully at least weekly, but they forbid all social media sites. So like can i get the emails of everyone who wants to keep in contact? Man i dont know how im gonna manage this AAAAA!!! i will send u loads of pics of scenic asylum beauty and dumb updates on my stupid life of probably very little progress.
And AGGGHHH i dont even have the time to plan a blog queue or anything fuck man geez aaaaaaaa
I NEED TO BUY A NEW PAIR OF TROUSERS WITHOUT HOLES IN THE KNEES man i cant live on singular pantage in a shared house

Im sitting at the desk at the walters doing my volunteering hours. I was really salty about coming earlier and was going to just up and call in and tell them I wasnt ever coming back. But Im glad Im here. I got to meet the new director and she was awesome and made some comments about opening positions here in departments I want to be in. So I will keep volunteering for now. Its good for my resume at least.
Plus I just like being able to say I work here even a little bit. 
Todays been great but man was it hot out. I slept really well. I was up to late but thats okay. I woke up around 6 and felt good but I let myself sleep until 8 since I didnt have to go in until 930. I like working at the BMI a lot, and a big perk is the varried hours. I mean I wish I was making more money, but having a set amount of hours that can move throughout the days I work is really nice. Like tomorrow I am going in an hour early so I get to go home early too. Pretty sweet. 
I left home a little early. And biked down to the museum. It was already really warm when I got up. So today was going to be a bit unbearable. I was kind of dizzy when I got to work and was texting with Brendan. He has been sick and I was telling him about the heat effecting me. But he hasnt text me since then and I feel some kind of way about it. Mostly because Im a spaz and want to be validated all the time and when Im not I immediatly go into fear mode and convince myself he hates me. Which is dumb and not true at all. I just want to see him again and its super annoying that we cant make our schedules fit. I was hoping to see him before I go to minneapolis next week but I just cant find a time because of our skating performacnce this weekend. Itll work out if its supposed to but still. Sad. 
Work was hectic. I was in the assembly line all day and I really found a grove. I was assisting the whole day and had a differnt person lead each time. Now that I sort of know the program it was very very hard for me not to talk or butt in. But I held my tongue. Ill probably be leading it in the next couple weeks. Its not my favorite but its a fun one still.
The kids were all very sweet today. Only one or 2 that made me a little annoyed but 99% were great. We built so many cars. I got lots of compliments on my Rosie the Riveter styling today. Felt real cute. 
That classroom gets way to hot though so it was a bit of a struggle. But we made it through. 
I had a good lunch. All green foods. And then my last workshops for the day. I was tired and salty about going to volunteer so I was talking a big game about quiting but I have calmed down and wont quit. I spent like an hour doing supplies for the assembly line and cleaning. It was a really nice day though. I also had some more real conversations with my coworkers and I really like them a lot. They are all really good people. 
I was done there at 3. And it was hot! I walked out with Del, one of the older men who Im assisting tomorrow. He made me nervous last week because his voice is a bit intense. But he seems like a nice guy too. Im excited to teach sewing with him in the morning. 
I biked home. Attempted some hills but walked some. It was like 95 degrees and very bright out. When I got home I was very very hot and sat on the floor in front of my fan for a while. Caught my breath. Then I made a riccota pita pizza with roasted red peppers, garlic, and spinach. It was awesome and Im for sure going to make that again. Maybe even tonight when I go home. 
I chilled for a while. Watched youtube. And then headed over here. 
And its been a fun night. I did a bunch of reading. And talking to Tracy the manager. I finally think she likes me. And Ive met a bunch of people tonight that have been really cool. And Nina came back! The girl that gave me a flyer for Red Velvet, that show I went to with Ashlyn in Februray. They have Alice in Wonderland going on now. Maybe Ill get to see that at some point. Maybe. This month is already very full for me.
Im about to be done my shift. Im looking forward to going home and getting a shower. I have a feeling that the weather here is going to make me have to wash ,my hair like everyday and Im not pleased about that. I need to get a less damaging shampoo or like jsut a cleansing conditioner. Ill have to look into that.
I hope you all have a good night tonight, Be safe out there. Stay cool

dude im sO EXCITED FOR THE IDEA OF A PD REMAKE!!! it was such a wonderful game, i cant wait to see what good new stuff youd add to the remake to make it even better! :D
I’m glad!! *A* RIght now the bare minimum I want to add includes:
All new art assets, UIs, and sprites/tiles. This is primarily what I would need to raise funds for since it’d essentially be a a bunch of people making over the game for me with all original assets.
New gameplay elements such as an objective log, maps, and fast travel, to make the game a bit less tedious and more user friendly. For this I’m thinking about a cell phone item that encompasses all of these functions plus the class schedule.
More involved dating mechanics. Maybe some optional text chats with the girls?
More haunting events. DEFINITELY more haunting events. >:)
Extra playable bits focusing on the three love interests as an end-game unlockable.
And if I could get beyond the bare minimum and be able to afford it, I’d also like to add:
Partial voice acting (full voice acting would be a bit too lofty a goal I think)
Full CG illustrations for ~certain~ scenes. :3c
Remastered music that doesn’t rely strictly on freeware soundbanks and VSTis.
And if I’m REALLY daring, maybe adding full fledge OP and ED songs. LIKE A REAL ANIME GAME.
But again, these are all strictly dependent on a) my budget, b) how much support I get after releasing Turovero, and c) logistics with regards to revamping everything to be commercial-safe; i.e. getting permission from scripters, finding time between my actual day career and this, etc. etc. So I may not be able to deliver on every single one of these but I do want to try my luck with what I can!

its just wild idk how to say the experience of just like...it being a wholeass fixture in your life that you’re gonna off urself...i guess in earlier times (almost been aware of being suicidal for a whole decade babes) it was also that i just...like assumed that my future was gonna involve some whole disaster that was going to wreck the whole damn thing idk. like i always knew i didnt have the kinda situation where i had somebody to fall back on no matter what & i did very much know that i had the kinda situation where if it looked like the identity ppl thought i had fell through and it turned out i wasnt thriving in all of this and actually just kinda miserable and on my own, instead of having ppl who would be There For Me No Matter What i had the ppl who would want nothing to do w me except for further beat me down..........so yeah i guess ive been feeling like my future was only Doom since like 12 def...maybe earlier if you look at it idk its like wondering when i was starting being depressed fulltime. probs like age 3 idk
anyhow the point is....hard to explain what its like having the constant sense that you don’t have a future thats good & in your control & something you want, or that even exists right. like sometimes i imagine thinking abt the future in the ways that other ppl might, in the way that you assume you’ve got a good while and that there’s things you’ll get to do that you like or you’ll pursue your ambitions or whatever and its weird i think about it for like 3.3 sec and its like tf.........its like when you get some kinda Aroma Memory where your brain remembers that smell from 18.6 yrs ago & you have a 0.62second window to try to think of where its from while you have some fleeting visual/emotive memory.......sometimes i’ll just have some kinda emotional echo from a less depressed life and its like ?????? havent had this feeling in this exact way for a minute. its weird its like lol this doesnt belong to me anymore..
anyways for another solid like.....6-7 yrs its been kind of “i’ll be surprised if i make it another yr alive” with various ups & downs in that level of surprise along the way.....more like a Down lately lmao its wild how impossible it seems to make it a few more days or weeks when youre having a worse day than usual, having an on avg Worse period that lasts for months & months and etc is just....wild baby. if you havent felt it for even a day its not something you can really imagine. if u know what its like to feel like ur gonna die for a longterm period then you know what it is..
like always, maybe this is my year baby!!! in terms of death. if im thinking abt maybe this is the year i suddenly Succeed on all fronts and i never again have to think about kms, then that’ll be a struck-by-lighting, same-shuffled-card-deck-order twice in a row, sheer chance out of nowhere. your life isnt steered towards goodness because you’re good enough or Only As Much As You Can Handle or anything and ive been too deep in it this whole time to have ever been set up to not get the rug pulled out from under me several times over and yknow once you fall down even once, unless you’re really solidly backed up, the odds arent in your favor about not getting continuously run over the rest of the time. wind isn’t really at ur back there.
like im so glad abt every person ive run into who ive had in my life for more than like 5 hrs and im lucky that i was at least born recently enough to have had the internet/texting mostly regularly from 14 y.o. onward.....if i didnt im sure i wouldve been......even so much more isolated than i was. l o l . . . . ive got to feel like some ppl care abt me which is nice and didnt happen too much before then. its also good i draw lmao coz besides for the most part thats how i talk the best & how i get in touch w most of the ppl who end up sticking around enough i talk to more than like a couple of times.....but tho of course ive never like, found arbitrary success in terms of either my own solo financial boon to transcend any and all problems or ever just like bonding w a bunch of ppl like ride or die for life baby. coz like.....why would i do either. if you werent born into financial stability, let alone wealth, and if you didnt just happen to pick up these deep unshakeable relationships along the way at times when it didnt really matter.....good luck picking those things up further along the way when stuffs even shittier. i may’ve been lucky w the internet/texting timing but i wasnt lucky w the financial crisis hit or really just being born after the 80s, economy wise......or lucky w being isolated socially since age 4 and always having to feel distanced from ppl coz i could sense the difference & stigma of being someone abused & miserable before i was even really that self aware of the extent of those things about me.........oh well. coz again w the internet and me happening to draw enough prior to age 14 that i was always considered “good” at it, and then finding that i like to draw fanart for myself lol....so i could at least connect w ppl some ways right. or via text posts sometimes lmao....and im lucky that the ‘net / having a phone gave me a medium for those things & being connected to some ppl. and im lucky im gay & not cis & got to figure that out & enjoy it coz thats the best thing abt me.......
anyways even if say life was perfect for me magically i still wouldnt be able to relate to seeing yourself pursue your ambitions coz like i always say...ive never really had those lmao. wasnt able to baby.....its like there’s always that idea that ppl whose life is defined by Survival, who’ve been exposed to trauma &/or abused, that if you drop them into a safe stable situation w/friends and all and whatever then suddenly they’ll be a “regular” person, like there’s some inherent core of everyone where they Know what its like to get to live in a healthy environment w a certain perspective on other ppl & how they’ll treat you, and if you just remove someone from bs they’ll just shift over to that Default that is like oh lol yeah im like everybody else. like nah its a whole different kind of world / life you’ve not even necessarily adapted to, maybe its what you grew in. and you can adapt to a better life & grow further in that but its not a matter of like “washing away” what came before....it can be an entirely separate thing. like if you haven’t experienced it you cant imagine it. i cant give someone a real sense of what its like to grow up within & live in an abusive place for decades. and i can’t guess who i would be if i’d grown up / lived in a completely different, better situation. coz thats a whole fundamental change from the start. it’d be such a different person that it wouldn’t even make sense to call it an alternate version of “me.”
well anyways i always feel like i’m bound to kms & that bad things are impending sooner than later & when they happen i’ll get a new set of incoming bad shit to feel bearing down & etc & i dont have things i want except a cessation of living under dread & feeling like my existence is in the way & theres ppl around i gotta be on my guard for & i’m only gonna kms eventually here, theres a long lifespan & for being to off yourself at any given time, also im jealous of ppl who’ve had a nicely sized friend group where they’ve always been able to hang out w one person at least whenever they wanted to / needed to. at least i’m gay, baby. i honestly do feel like that tweet where its like i cant kill myself b/c what if im a straight guy in my next life? @ god i cant do it. like lmao for real though......in my past life maybe i was an 80s gay. syke if i have a past life it was probably a cat. maybe a cat of an 80s gay. i can only hope

im living the dream, the climax of my life 7/25/17
today was amazing. so liz slept over and it was the best. we vibe so well together and she is super pure and influential and real and just in my eyes a perfect human being to be around with. she likes jazz she plays instruments she paints- she’s very in tune with herself and everything around her. she painted me a beautiful portrait and love on a canvas i gave her. it is amazing. she wanted me to share my stories about my spiritual interactions with carlo so she can record it and she remembered i mentioned that there is a song i imagine playing when i see him in a field of grass, and she added the notes to it in the painting . she is just so great and influential and we experience and think much of the same things. i like being around her. lots of good music and laughing. she liked the songs i showed her. then i went home and was feeling poopy until i went outside and decided to write how i was feeling. i put anxiety and lack of confidence and just negativity then just didnt feel any better  so i decided to meditate and i did for like 20 /30 min. i went from lotus to just hanging my headd down while i sat. it helped tremendously . i felt three billion times better. i felt like my parents were the sun and moon. creation of all creation. they are the creators of every single thing in my life. they created me thus creating everything around and within me. my mom also symbolized the sun for me, and just recently i felt my father as the moon. i shared that with them and shared a lot with my mother. just after meditating i was so high on life. i thought about who this is it this is now i am experiencing this now and everything is good and life is good and this is real this is what I'm seeing now this is real life this where I'm at just realizing this is where i am right now everything here makes sense and is normal it was like i was reborned actually in a way bc everything seemed brand new and i was confused to what i was seeing!! it makes so much sense tho bc i was just in my head and i cleared it and now I'm seeing everything as it is and realizing I'm ever so grateful for this consciousness. sundown. sunset. i shared with my dad the day i missed my flight that i like sunsets, i feel my brother the most during them.and he shared it with my mom. he invited me to go inside and see a movie with them but i shared to him i like the nature and stuff more and it helps me feel better and that sunset just has a huge impact for me and my soul feels the need to be outside during its energy of the sun passing. and today when i was in my tummy mood or not a clear head i went outside and was just writing down how i felt and he saw and asked if i wanted to spend time with them inside and i was upset so i gave a little sass and said i cant the tv makes me depressed and it just drains my energy and i feel unproductive but I'm glad everything happened bc it happened for a reason and i feel great now and after that time to myself i was the best i can be with my parents i watched tv with them and cracked jokes and just had a lot of fun and t was all pure and sam sent me a song and it was amazing i felt the singers emotion and i just felt every emotion i felt throughout the song. everything just how it was. i was fast with my thoughts and feelings.and i helped my mom with cleaning and it was great- we shared alot and she said she was thinking of me today and is aid oo like what and she said what kind of advice to give me before i leave and said that she just wanted to tell me to keep doing what I'm doing with handling my emotions and being smart and spiritual and she tied that together bc she said she was thinking about all my growth and everything and also gave me the advice to do research in everything i want to do and to do it like she noticed i had a hard time sticking to being vegan and so she said to do research and find some motivation for it and to do that everything i wanna do she is just the best and sweetest i love her so much i love us literally i felt so pure with her after meditating like when i sat next to her on the couch i was kissing all over her face her cheeks her nose and her forehead a bunch of times it wa amazing I'm going to miss her so much but we shared how people become closer to their siblings after carlos funeral like gabe and koen and liz and manuel she opened that up to me but it was good after meditating i felt exactly aligned and myself and it was just enlightening and awakening moment then i told them about how i felt good bc i was not confident in most things especially planning things bc I'm anxious about not ppl having a good time bc it would b my fault but i finally did it and all my freidsn are going to pinballz and i picked up brendon and showed him so many cool songs like the mosquito by the doors and a lot of other cool ones and he said u know so many cool songs and how do u know so many and i told him that when i find an artist and song i like i just listen to their other albums and it grows and we got to pinball and it was just fun for me and him we got quarters and did the quarter machines bc the electronics were too expensive and it was so so so fun we played like 9 rounds and i lost each one but it was so fun and i felt so great playing an old 80s arcade machines game it was so simple there was ike 3 buttons i defiantly want to go back and play on those old pinball and 90s machine games t was so fun and then john kiersten sam and brennon showed up and sam looked so damn good god damn i couldn't take it in he wore khakis and a black shirt and vans and his hair looked good and his face looked beautiful as always and i tried not to express or show any of that in person so i kept my distance but overall it wa so funny with everyone and we went to kerbey lane a 24 hour diner and nit was so fun jorge was there too it was a grand ol time and when i was saying by to everyone it was so beautiful john picked me up two times and we hugged like four times and in front of his girlfriend it is so cool he can do that and brennon gave me a nice one and jorge smacked my ass after which i totally hated and took in account that he did that and to realize it made me uncomfortable and omg me and sams good bye will always be my favorite we hugged and he just said to let him know when I'm in town again and that we have dos ee each other again and it wa sa nice hug and i got in my car and he was getting in the seat and we looked at each other and i did the like post up pose like square lets fight and he got out of his seat in the car and opened my car door and i said okay lets do this and slapped his arm and he grabbed my head and gave me a long noogie and it made me laugh so much and when he was done i gave him a huge giant wedgie it was so funny he didnt seem too uncomfortable but god damn i pulled that underwear so high-up literally like half way up his torso and he texted me later saying he lost his watch trying to untuck the wedgie haha i love sam i just hope one day our time will come and we can be intimate together and i can wake up in a bed we slept together in and wake up to him playing piano and I'm naked in his bed like i just want to be so sweet and lovey to him he makes my legs when he looks at me and he just creates and turns something on in me and i like it i like his being he is a beautiful creation i want to treat him so well i want to paint for him i want to shower him in kisses and gifts and loves and songs i want to inspire him like he inspires me all these love songs i sing for him . i want to be able to share one day all the love songs i sing to him- they're so important , each one. they all bring me back to him. driving back i go to jaremys with brendon and we see élena and kevin aka my favorite ppl ever and elena opens the door and i see kevin and run to him and give him a big hug then elena sees us and i give her one but its unusual i went to him like out of my way to hug him but i hope he feels that like my love for him bc its so special and pure and just love like i love them so much and we all sat around the wooden floored apartment and sat on these psychedelic 70s couches and started tossing out of the air dumb jokes and elena looks at kevin and says you're just a totally different person with mary and laughs and says she's the same way bc we spent a few days togeth then she hung out with her friend and kept saying dumb jokes and they just didnt get it and she had to explain that she was with me and i got that too literally being with them i  feel more intone and grounded to myself bc I'm just my dumb self which makes me the same to other people i literally love my life and everyone here and now i have a flight in like 8 hours to colorado to see alea and road trip to san francisco and get dropped off and continue my life at the ashram and as a yogi and a farmer and pure and back to mediating and yoga and I'm going to practice so much music and have a kick ass job being ana astronomy tutor i am ever so grateful for this summer its been the best and i really hope i can feel this way again when i get back with the same exact people

Twenty-Four (Exo Fanfic) Chapter 3- First Day Of School
**CHAPTER 3**
Sitting at a table where you don’t engage with the conversation is really boring. I was bored of listening to Juro and my mom’s conversation. I was just glad that they didn’t hear my phone go off. I brought my phone out and looked at it.
Unknown : Hey Beautiful 😉😙
Me: Who’s this?
Unknown : Awww 😔 you couldn’t haven’t forgotten me just yet… have you 😢😢😢
I couldn’t help but give a small giggle. As I text back.
Me: How can I forget if I don’t know you. 😁
Unknown : 😧😧😧 its Kai
Me: I think you have the wrong number.😀
Flirty Kai: Really?? This isn’t EunJi? 🤔🤔🤔
Me: Nope, I never heard of her before. 😁😁
Flirty Kai: So I let her sit on my lap for nothing 😔😔😔
Me: 😂😂😂 What do you mean for nothing? Are you a playboy?
Playboy Kai: What if I am would you date me? 😉
Me: I, EunJi would never date a playboy like you. 😑
Playboy Kai: Why you play me like that Beautiful? I thought we were cool like that.
Me: Since when are we cool?
Playboy Kai: Since we first meet. Why else would I let you sit on my lap. Its not everyday I let a beautiful girl sit on my lap. 😉
Playboy Kai: What you doing Beautiful?
Me: Eating dinner and being bored. You?
Playboy Kai: You know…I can find ways to keep you entertained 😘 and I am hanging out with the guys. You excited about first day of school tomorrow?“
"EunJi? EunJi, I asked you a question.” I heard my mom say my name. I guess I was to observed in messaging that I didn’t hear what my mom asked.
“Huh?” I asked her to repeat what she asked. “I asked if you wanted Juro or I to drop you off at school tomorrow?” My mom asked.
“Ughh… Can you take me Mom?” She nod to give me an answer.
“I can, by the way you know cell phone are not allowed at dinner. But I’ll let it pass this time.” She said. I nod and asked to excused myself from the table as I headed to my room.
When I looked at my phone again, I saw a bunch of messages all from Kai.
Playboy Kai: So are you excited?
Playboy Kai: EunJi?
Playboy Kai: EunJi are you there?
Playboy Kai: Are you okay? Do I need to beat someone up?
Playboy Kai: Did you fall of the earth?
Playboy Kai: Or did you go back to heaven. 🤔🤔
Playboy Kai: Don’t go back to heaven Angel 😣😣😣 I need you here.
Obsessive Playboy Kai: Beautiful? 😢
Obsessive Playboy Kai: Angel? 😢😢
Obsessive Playboy Kai: Love? 😢😢😢
Obsessive Playboy Kai: Babe? 😢😢😢😢
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him and chuckled at his childish behavior.
Me: Sorry I was talking to my mom. And to answer your question…No Im not excited to be starting school tomorrow.
Obsessive Playboy Kai: Wwwwwaaaaeeee? IM GOING TO BE THERE!!! YOUR NOT EXCITED TO SEE ME?!?!?! 😡😡😡
Me: That’s why I’m not excited because your going to be there.
Angry Obsessive Playboy Kai: 😠😠😠😠 Why so mean EunJi-ahhh? 😟😟😟😢😢😢
I couldn’t hold my laughter as I shovd the pillow into my face. This boy was too much to deal with and I couldn’t.
Me: Idk…
Pouty Playboy: *sniff sniff* you hurt my feelings 😢😢😭😭😭
Me:😂😂😂😂 Sure I did?
Pouty Playboy: You did! Wahhh!! 😭😭 You don’t love me.
Me: Your absolutely right, I don’t love you.
Pouty Playboy: What can I do to make you love me?
Me: Nothing.
Flirty Playboy: Fine but I’m sure I make you fall for me like I did for you 😉 well Beautiful, I gotta go the hyungs are about to have a fight with each other. Good night, sweet dreams. 😚😚
Me: Night
I placed my phone on my night stand as I got up from the bed to put on pajamas on. I bushed my teeth, washed my face and put my hair in a pony tail so it wouldn’t get tangled up in my sleep. I yelled goodnight to Juro and my mom and placed myself back on my bed.
I knew I wasn'tgoing to get much sleep since I was nervous about tomorrow but I managed to fall asleep.
*********
“Bye Mom.” I said as I closed the car door. I was in front of the school. I put my book strap on and headed to my class. As I made it to the school entrance, someone covered my eyes.
“Guess who?” They whispered into my ear. I knew who it was but I decided to play dumb. “The boogie man?”
“Guess again?”
“Hmm I’m not sure who you are then.” I told him. He removed his hands from my eyes and gave me a pouty lip as he stepped to the side for me to see him. His hair was wet from a shower and his uniform seemed to be put on in a rush.
“Oh it’s you.” I flat out gave him a straight face. “Yahh!!! What do you mean "Oh it’s you.” you know I’m the best part of your life now. Anyways what’s your class?“
"B-3.” I told him as a started my way but he grabbed my elbow. “Hey! What do you think your doing?” He asked.
I rolled my eyes. “Im going to my class, duh.” Making my voice drip with sarcasm.
“Your sarcasm isn’t appreciated here and your not going to our class without me.” He said taking ahold of my hand as he dragged me up the stairs and to the classroom.
By the time we got there, the teacher was already in and taking attendance. “Mr. Kim how many times do I have to tell you that your tardiness is not tolerated in my classroom.” A middle age lady with glasses scrowled at Kai.
“I have a good reason to be late. I brought in our new student.” He said stepping out from me. I was hiding behind him when we had entered the classroom because I didn’t want to be seen.
The lady huffed. As she took a look at me. “My name is Mrs. Lee and I’ll be your teacher for math. Please introduce yourself….” she trailed off trying to see my name on the paper.
“EunJi. Kim EunJi” I introduced myself to her and the class. She nod and gestered me to sit down. The only seat that was empty was the seat next to Kai. I sighed of enjoyment that I had to sit with the player.
********
As classes and lunch went by, I was losing patience with Kai. He has done nothing but flirt and talked my ear off. We were in our last class which was Home Economics. And yes Kai is sitting next to me again.
“Good Afternoon class we are getting ready to start our formative grade next week. I expect everyone to do well in their partnership.” Everyone started to get excited as they figure out who was going to be their partner. “As I was saying!!!!” She yelled over the students. “Your partner will be the person you are sitting next to you. Your grade will detect on how well you are with this three week project. I also heard we have a new student in he class. EunJi?”
She called out my name as I raised my hand and nod to know who she was speaking too. “Welcome to Home Ec. Im Mrs. Jung and if you have any questions, you can ask me, Kai or anyone in the class.” She said as I nod to understand. And with that she handed out papers of our assignment for the next three weeks.
When some of the students read the sheet, they groaned because our project was taking care of a simulator doll.
We listened to the teacher as she went through the steps of how to take care of a baby. And telling us what to do and how to work our time sheet diary. And that the parents, meaning us will need to bring the doll with us to school and during class. I was glad that we weren’t starting today as she told us to get ready for Monday see how it was Friday and the weekend was tomorrow. She also advised us to have sleep overs at each other house.
I so not wanted Kai to sleep over. But it being a important grade, I guess I could suck it up for three weeks.
When the bell ringed, I sprinted out my seat as I was trying my best to get away from Kai. But when I got to the front doors of the school, I saw him standing there with a smirk on his face.
“Angel, you thought you could leave me tsk tsk. No can do.” He said throwing a arm over my shoulders. “Are you not sick of me yet?” I grumbled under my breathe. “No!!!” He smirked as we waited for his friends to meet us.
“Hyung!!!! Leave Nana alone!!!” Sehun whinned as he was having trouble getting Baekhyun off of Nana again for the fourth time.
“But I haven’t had my after school hug from her Sehun-ah!!” He pouted as Nana easily squearmed out of Baekhyun grip and ran too me, taking my hand as Kai took mine and we ran from the others.
We ended up in a ice cream parlor. Were I got cookie dough ice cream, Kai and Nana got their favorite. We were half way in our ice cream when the rest of the group came in.
“Nana!!! Why did you leave me with these idiots!!!” Baekhyun cried as he took some of Nana’s ice cream.
“Idiot? Who you calling an idiot, you cowlicker” sehun taking the ice cream out of Baekhyun hand and ate some. As we all watch them go back and forth of calling each other name.
*********
“I’m Home!!!!!” Yelling from the front door. I slipped off my shoes and made my way to my room when I saw seven guys in my living room, playing video games.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“Question is who are you?” One of them asked. I clicked my tongue. “I asked first.” Giving the boy a death glare.
“And I asked second. So you are?” I was getting aggravated by this boy. He seemed to glare at me back so I crossed my arms across my chest and put all of my weight on one leg.
The others seemed uncomfortable as the orange hair boy and I glared at each other in silence.
“Oh!! Ji your home and I see you meet Taehyung, my son.” Juro came in with his button up shirt rolled up on the sleeves and a few buttons unbuttoned.
“Son!!!” I didn’t know that Juro had a son.
“Yes he’s a year younger then you.” He answered. I turned to the orange hair boy that made him look like he came out of a webtoon or a anime. I looked at the others as they shift in their seats.
“I didn’t know you had a son. Does mom know?” I asked Juro as Juro laughed and came to ruffle our hair.
“Hey!!!” We both yelled as we fixed our hair. “ Tae was living with his mom, and he will living here now since his mom will be living in Japan now. He’s transferring to your school EunJi so take good care of him.” Juro asked me. I looked at the orange hair boy and nod at Juro words.
I was able to excuse myself to my room where I changed into comfortable clothes. I heard a knock on my door as it opened to show my mom.
“Hey baby. How was your first day of school?” She sat down on my made bed. I sat next to her sitting criss cross and apple sauce.
“It was the same as every school day. The teachers were nice. My seatmate is annoying flirt but that’s expecting since I met him and his friend three months ago and yesterday and today. Oh and he and I have to take care of a doll baby so he’s probably gonna ask if he can spend the night.
She smiled. "Oh really? What’s his name? How did you guys meet?” She asked getting comfortable on my bed.
I sighed. “Remember when I came home because YoungBin broke up with me. Well that was the same day I met Kai and his friends Xiumin, Suho, Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O, and Sehun the maknae who has a twin sister name Nana and I met her yesterday. She was my tour guide.”
“So his name is Kai huh” she nudge me as she smiled. “Is he handsome?”
I laughed and nod. “Yeah. I’m not telling you how he looks because I’m sure he will be here sometime soon.” My mom pouted.
“What don’t look at me like that!!” I giggled as she laughed with me.
“Okay, I’ll wait to see this boy and when I do I’ll tell you I approve.” As I nod. “So you met Tae?”
“Yeah, I wasn’t really expecting to have a step brother. When did you know?” I asked my mom. “It was when Juro and I went out on our first date. He knew about you before we dated because he seen you help around the bakery. I was shocked at first but I’ve met Tae before and we clicked. I’m sure you two will get along just fine."she said then kissed my forehead. "Dinner is being made give it thirty minutes, okay.” She said then left me in peace.

“Dope A-F” - 4/19-4/22 - “I’m Probably Not Going To Do That”
Let’s get it popping you sweet ass laydees and baybees! I had a fun and interesting weekend, and then a fun show Monday night. So let’s get to it boo!
4/19
There was a huge storm coming for Richmond so I was able to get out of work early. I am beyond happy I did because I was in traffic forever on 95. It usually takes me at the most 2 hours to get to DC, and I didn’t get parked until about 3 1/2 hours. Just a lot of accidents and people not knowing how to drive. 
I finally get up there and get my usual parking spot. I then walked about 35 minutes until I get to the DC Comedy Loft at Bier Baron. I am going to be hosting for Eddie Pence in the cellar area. It is a dope basement room and always an interesting and fun show. It is much more intimate than the upstairs room, and honestly I prefer it. 
I get there and they’ve got a lot of stuff set up. Eddie is filming a crowdfunded comedy special. He has brought his feature with him and her name is Jennifer Sterger (Roast Battle, The Upside). When I get there Eddie is talking to the sound guy Grant about the rundown of the show. It sounded a little weird to me, and when Grant points me out as the host Eddie runs it down for me.
Eddie wanted me to go up and do 10. Then the feature do 10. Eddie does an hour and then I go back up and do another 10 while they drop checks. He asks me if this is ok, and in a rare moment of self worth I tell him it doesn’t make sense for me to be making half the money the feature is and having to do twice the time. He understood this completely and we changed it to where she would go up twice.  I felt weird about standing up for myself, but honestly at the end of the day I know I did the right thing. It was super dope after that because everybody was cool and understanding and I throughly enjoyed getting to know both of them. 
The first show starts and it’s al to of Eddie’s friends and family, but they were an older crowd and were super tight. I had a pretty good set, but I was working my ass off to break through. I messed up the wording on some of my jokes which was frustrating, but for the most part the audience couldn’t tell. I’d give this set a C+. It was a solid start to a hosting weekend. 
Jennifer went up and they were not fans of her. I felt bad, because they just did not dig her shit. Which sucks because it was totally the crowd. They just didn't vibe. After her was Eddie. He is a good comic, and had some strong material. The audience was so drunk, and just not great. He had a really good set, but his stuff was not killing the way that it should have.
After his set she and him both went back up and did a Q and A type of thing to pass the time. It was super awkward, but I was just glad I didn’t have to do it. Also they had no AC on because of the noise throwing off the recording. So it was like 90 degrees in there and everybody was sweating like crazy.
Because they didn’t sell enough tickets they cancelled the second show and scheduled a male strip show. So I grabbed my bag as soon as the show was over and walked over to Big Hunt. Even though I had a bunch of time to kill before the show I would rather hang out at Hunt than sit around and do nothing. I grabbed some Tiki Taco, and got over there. 
I went downstairs at Hunt and Charlie Ross was there. We hung and talked as more comics showed up. Eventually Maddy Brannon and Martin Amini came in to chill since they had been opening up the paid shows this weekend. Sean also came in and was explaining to a new comic the steps to get on open mics. 
Everybody is shooting the shit, and having a good time. They were saying the second show for them had a super tight crowd. I could tell just from the sound of the room that they were hesitant. We all talked about how that’s how comedy works sometimes. It was a good fun talk. Michael Summers eventually showed up and then Sean made the list. I found out I was going first and I was so excited, because there is nothing I like more than getting to head out early in DC.
The show starts and they seem a little tight. Sami Sfeir was hosting and it took his whole set for him to crack them. When I get called up I just really go in and try to sell all my jokes. I got some big pops and tried a new joke that worked pretty well there. I am super pleased with how it goes. I’d give this set a B. A solid and dope start. I head off stage, grab my stuff, say goodbye, and head back to my car to go to TJs where I pass out almost immediately.
4/20
I spent most of the next day sleeping. The only time I left TJs was to go grab a bite to eat with him at Hooters. After this we headed back and napped before I got my shit together and headed back to DC. I got to my parking spot and walked right over. I was excited because both shows were happening tonight.
I get there and the first show looks like it is going to be lightly attended at first. I kind of chill and relax and get in the mindset of another tough show. As we get closer and closer to showtime it really starts to fill out. It is pretty packed and they have a great energy. I also find out they are going to keep the AC on tonight, and also the format changed (now it will be me doing 10, then him doing an hour, then her doing 10).
The show starts and I have a really dope and hot hosting set. Everything is working, and I felt like I could have gone on way over my time. I close super strong and I’d give this set a B.  They are super warmed up and I bring Eddie up and he has a super hot set for an hour. I feel like he is going to get a lot of usable footage out of it. Then Jennifer goes up and they dig her a lot. She has a much better set than the night before which I was happy about. 
After the first show Jennifer and I talk about the other stuff she does and what she’s into. Her husband plays baseball, but she does a lot of stuff with wrestling which is pretty awesome. So we talk about that for a while.
The second show of the night is going to be shit. It is a light crowd. They’re all super drunk and I can tell they aren’t going to be a lot of fun. An older white dude wearing gym shorts, t shirt, and socks in flip flops comes over and asks me how many comics are on the show. He asks me if I’m funny, then asks if the headliner is funny, and then how long the show is going to be. It was a super strange interaction. 
This show is about half the size of the first one and the audience seems wack. I go up and I struggle. I warm them up, but I am definitely having to work my ass off on this one. The stuff from the first show works, and I close a little differently. I did my job, but was not happy with it at all. I’d give it a C-. Eddie then goes up and he also has to fight them forever. People won't quit texting or talking and after his set I find out he people being the worst are some of his friends from high school. Some people are just ass holes. Jennifer goes up and does ok, but honesty we were all just powering through this one. 
I get my check and talk to everybody. THey’re super nice as I say my goodbyes and I feel like I’ve definitely made some friends this weekend. I then head over to Big Hunt. I get there and the crowd is pretty awesome. I am up in a few people so I am just hanging in the hall. Nathan Luft is hosting this one. 
I end up having an interesting discussion about road comics, good rooms/bad rooms, and the importance of doing both with a few of the other comics. Talks like this are always fun even when I don’t agree with what is being said. 
While Im there I hear my buddy Ross screaming at people heckling from the stage. Then someone got the bouncer and made a huge scene throwing these guys out. I’m like 10 feet away sitting with Jack Coleman as these dudes are getting thrown out. It was low-key awesome to see even though it disrupted the show. 
After this I go up and have a fun set. I have a heckler but he’s not a big deal. I kill with my first bit and the second one I do only does ok which is fine. I was still super happy with how I handled the heckler and just did my own shit. I’d give my set a B/B+. I then walked to my car and started to drive home. I get back at around 4 am and pass out so I can go to church with the family the next day. 
4/22
I am in a great mood at work all day. I had had a super great Easter with my family. We all got together, ate a bunch of food, and enjoyed a super fun day. So I had all this positive energy follow me through the day which was super nice. I was stoked to get to do The Southern. 
I talk to Paige on the phone up there and I riff a new idea, and he tells me to try it. I am super nervous, but I love having new jokes and I love this room. I finally get to the show at about 7. I come in super happy and start shooting the shit with Paige, Danny (the gm), and JR. 
People start walking in and I just have a fun energy. I’m busting balls, and riffing until the cows come home. Chris shows up and he seems a little upset. This blows over pretty quickly and we are all having fun. He gets the list ready and has a comics meeting outside. We are piggy backing the show (each comic brings up the next comic) and I am up third. In-between Chris Cantrell, and Keaton Ray.
Chris gets the show started pretty close to on time. There isn’t a ton of people here, but we are determined to have fun. As Chris starts his set a few more people start to file in. Honestly it is awesome to see. We get a pretty good crowd for the open mic all things considered. The best thing is usually when people come to this mic they stay for like 90% of it. 
The first few comics do ok, but can’t really break through. I go up and I start a little weak up top, but eventually break through. I get some big laughs, and my NEW BIT WORKED. I only did it as a quick line, but I realize there is a lot of meat on those bones. I’m going to work the hell out of that joke until it is a signature bit. I’d give my set a B-, but honestly I get off stage and feel like a million bucks. 
As the show goes on I get to hang and see a bunch of people I hadn’t seen in a while like Anne Meng, John Marg, Sam Padgett, Charles Bill, Keaton, and some others. Anne takes a super funny Boomerang of me with my legs in the air pretending to finger myself that made me laugh out loud. As each comic goes up there is a lot of good sets this night. The audience is small but mighty. All in all a great night. I leave early so I can get some rest. I talk to Paige on the way home, and I stop at Sheets to get some fried cheese. A super fun time, and I’m really glad I got to do it. 
THIS WAS A HOOT TO DO LAYDEES! I’ve got some big shows this week. Tots on Wednesday in Blacksburg at 9:30 and Thursday is the last Host Battle open mic at Pro Re Nata at 8 in Crozet. So come one and come all. I love you all very much. Thanks for the support and see y’all next time. XOXOXO
