GL Odds and Ends January 2025

I'm still trying to figure out what 2025 means for me in terms of where and how I spend my time, but one thing I am passionate about is making sure there is a record of GL media, so I'm going to try to prioritize keeping this up to at minimum monthly, though I might change up the format. Last one was end of December 2024. If you're interested in GL older than that, check out my GL rec list and my #gl recs tag for the other odds and ends posts. Series new to the roundup are marked with an asterisk*.

Currently airing (with thoughts up to 31 Jan):

Petrichor ep 9/10 (Thai, Saturdays, 10:00 AM ET, iQIYI) I've appreciated the struggle that Tul has gone through in terms of wanting to use her police powers to protect her family though that goes against her morals, and some of the procedural aspects I was grumbling about before have been explained by the plot. However, it still bothers me that she's not a very good detective. That being said, Engfa and Charlotte still have fantastic chemistry, and Na is having what seems like the time of his life.

*Us the series ep 2/12 (Thai, Saturdays, 8:00 AM ET, YouTube) I admit I think I have Chao Planoy fatigue. Age gap, both characters are lying to each other, there are abusive family members, and a guy who seems nice but I'm braced for a reveal about how he's actually awful. I'm feeling like I'm playing bingo. Honestly If someone gets hit by a car I might lose it. All my baggage aside, the pacing on this feels uneven and it doesn't feel like it has its feet yet.

*Call Me By No Name ep 4/8 (Japanese, Thursdays, 12:30 PM ET, GagaOOLala) Honestly I am not buying the romance between these two protagonists and I am finding them a little overwrought.

*Trunk Girl ep 1/? (Korean, possibly Thursdays, YouTube) This has just started, and the vibes are off. I am suspicious of the circumstances that led this runaway to stay with her friend, especially when she kissed her in her sleep (and I don't mean suspicious of sapphic feelings, those are already taken as given considering the genre).

*FirstLOVE ep 5/? (Korean, Mondays, YouTube) Toxic girlfriend gets replaced and then regrets letting her lover go. We'll see how this ends but this is another messy drama that feels pretty rough.

*I Am Devil ep 5/? (Thai, Saturdays, YouTube) Gonna be honest with y'all I watched ep1 and shelved the rest, it's a pulp in the style of high drama like Sastra and JPC below produce and just isn't my jam. If you're looking for high heat lakorn-style drama, give this a try.

[Note: Mate is still airing if you did not fast track, but since I did I've included it in the following section]

Recently Completed:

The Fragrance You inherit 8eps 25mins each (Japanese, 8 Nov 24-27 Dec 24, no official distribution but fansub on @isaksbestpillow's blog[thank you Siiri!] I loved this finale and wrote about it here. For those who don't want to click the link, in short this is not a romance but a really beautiful and sweet show about all kinds of interpersonal relationships.

Pluto 12eps 45 mins each (Thai, 19 Oct 24-04 Jan 25, YouTube) This series showcased the skills and chemistry of Namtan and Film, and had some of the most iconic product placement in a GL to date. The plot was messy but held together, and as much as I was unimpressed with their choices week to week, their choices made sense within the narrative (and genre) being told. I knew this one wasn't for me, but what it was doing, it did pretty well, and beautifully. The one real ding from me was the use of blindness as a metaphor that essentially got handwaved away; that and I think it was doing too much. But I am glad that before that, there was some great use of their platform to highlight the importance of universal design.

INTP 4eps 5 mins each (Korean, 27 Dec 24-22 Jan 25 YouTube) This is the latest short series from RedQ, who produced some of my favourite GL short series including More than or equal to 75 degrees C, and To the Ex who Hated Me. I said when this started that the setup of this one reminded me of Semantic Error if SangWoo realized he was attracted to JaeYoung at their first group assignment meeting, and I think that holds. These two fell for each other because they both care about the group project, and both protect each other. It's a bit short but I found it very sweet.

Mate, 12eps 50+ mins each (Thai, 26 Nov 24-28 Jan 25 fast-track or 4 Feb 25, WeTV (uncut version)) In the end this show remained a struggle for me. There were things it was doing that I really liked (the characters tried hard not to resort to noble idiocy, and when characters did resort to noble idiocy they were confronted with the consequences, for example), and things that I really did not, and there were parts that were really hard to watch and will haunt me. There are a lot of things I like about this show, so I don't want to discourage views. Just go into this one informed, and make the decision that's right for you.

*Adrenaline 4eps 15 mins each (Thai, 10 Jan-31 Jan 25, YouTube) This show is a cross between a travel ad and a lakorn. This is a major spoiler, but the main character has a secret condition where she forgets things that causes her to forget her first time with her girlfriend!? This show is so messy lol

Recent One-offs, Side Couples, etc.:

Fireworks of Yesteryear/When We Met has been made available on YouTube. A 35-minute Chinese GL that includes a makeout and as a result the production team have been working hard to get it in front of eyeballs. This is a moody piece with an open ending; there's an age gap too so YMMV (30s and 22).

GL microseries Your Name Engraved Herein (not to be confused with the BL feature film) has been subtitled by @douqi7s. Watch the original on Bilibili and enjoy the subs on YouTube. This one is also melancholy but it's some really tight storytelling in under 2 mins and manages to feel hopeful even though it's sad.

There is a lesbian side couple in Flirt Milk the series (airing now on iQIYI). This couple Noon and Praewa previously appeared as sides in Love Senior.

There is a new MV featuring a lesbian couple for the artist KnomJean on YouTube. This is one of those MVs that tells a story (TW for family violence) and after getting through the sad backstory, celebrates marriage equality in Thailand.

IdolFactory is re-running GAP the series on YouTube. If you've been putting off watching, now is a good time!

Speaking of re-runs, Yes Or No and the two sequel/spinoffs (Yes or No 2, and Yes or No 2.5) are all newly on GagaOOLala for streaming in some regions (I know for sure they're in North America, not sure about others)

Uranus2324 is starting to show up in particular places on the internet. I watched it and after all of the negative things I'd heard I actually liked it lol I'll see if I can write about it more this week

My suspected wlw sides in See Your Love ended up being implied only I was a little sad about this but at least I wasn't imagining the vibes.

Mom Ped Sawan is still airing but I still don't have a source for subs

Sastra film app YouTube channel has several short Cambodian GL series that come out weekly Honestly they are not to my taste but I don't like gatekeeping GL especially from smaller markets. I check in on these time to time and if there are any that I think are great I'll give them a shout-out

Ditto above with JPC media YouTube channel for Thai GL shorts if there are any that stand out to me I'll say so; that being said I haven't had time recently so if I've missed anything good let me know!

Starting soon:

Reverse With Me (sequel spinoff to Reverse 4 U), Thai, 5 Feb, iQIYI and Ch3+ app

Fragrance of the First Flower s2, Taiwanese, 18 February 2025, GagaOOLala ok this isn't that soon but I'm just so excited we're getting this second season after all!

As always, if I'm missing anything, please let me know!

When Sexual Desires Clash (Y/N)

Chapter 1: The Start of Something New

Cause you done had mad bitches (ooh)

Been around the whole world (ooh)

And you carried all your fears with ya (ooh)

And now you found the right girl (ooh)

And you don't know what you do with her

You don't (no, no)

Know what you do with her

You don't (ooh, ooh)

Omniscient

YN was standing in the kitchen listening to rerun episodes of Insecure while fixing breakfast. After YN had finished, she was still enjoying her show when her phone began to rang.

Incoming Call Lupita..

YN POV

As I answered Lupita call I wondered why she was calling so damn early.. "Bitch you know its like 10 am in the morning." I said to Lupita. "Girl you forgot today is the dinner pool party with a few of us?" She questioned. "No girl I didn't but isn't it not until like 4 pm?" YN asked. "Girl yes I just wanna insure your coming. I have a few of my guy friends and you met all of them except one. Shay coming too since her boo thang Winston coming." "Yes sis she is and I'll see you then let me relax. Dance practice kicked my ass last night. I don't understand how hard it is for these girl to dance right with Chris. They do nervous so they fucking forget." YN said irritated. "Sis you right. If I was next to him I would be ready to cum on his face too." Lupita said laughing. "BITCH.. bye I'll see you later." YN laughed. "Bye Girl! Wear some sexy!!"

Omniscient

YN did her daily chores, went shopping, and rested. Before YN knew it was 3:30 pm and she had to get ready. YN is always a little late because she knows barely anybody will be there on time. YN took her slow time getting cute by pulling her hair in a pony tail and putting on her swimwear..

YN decided to let her cocca butter skin show along with her figure. YN then pulled her pony tail down and let her hair flow along with putting on her brown nude wedges. YN looked at herself and thought, "I'm that bitch! Still that bitch will for ever be that bitch!" Its been along time since YN has taken a break for herself. Since breaking up with her ex boyfriend due to him cheating on her she focused on herself. She would occasionally go out to find some dick but would never go along with it. YN felt as if no one would fuck her to her sexual desire. Therefore, she would just fuck her self going one day she'll have the BDSM of her dreams.. soon she'll have her dom.

YN gathered her belongings and her packed bag usually when they have a dinner night they spend the weekend in the vacation home. YN ensured to bring her toys because in her head she would be the single one left out..

4:50 pm Party Arrival

YN parked her car and walked through the gate that lead to the pool area. "What Up Bitchhhh" YN yelled and Lupita ran straight to her. "Girl look at you!! You wasn't playing when I said get sexy!!" Lupita said. "Nope I was not up. Hello Big One" YN said to Winston and dapped him up while hugging her best friend Shay.. "Girl! You look goodt. I'm glad Lupita invited the other person." Shay said smirking. "What do you mean?" YN asked confused. Soon as YN turned her head to the pool she saw a 6'2 burnt caramel complexion coming out of the pool drying his head off. When the figure removed the towel off his head all YN could do was watch and scream internally. YN never knew that she could be wet like this again. The figure walked up and reached out his hand and said, "Lupita, this must be who you were telling me about.. Hi YN, it's so nice to meet you. Lu has told me so much about you. My name is Michael B. Jordan".....

Sooo.. I have stories on Wattpad but I don't get that much love on here. I'm trying to get as much love as I can so Tumblr here we are... I'm going to show yal how to show MBJ love! 🩷

Hobie is in love

(AU: Hobie (23 years old) saw Miles (30 year old) meeting up with his ex, and it got him feeling some type of way. I was inspired one of @heiibo art where he had 30 old Miles and Hobie. This is a continuation of the idea.)

Hobie grumbles through the sky swinging from building to building, "Can't believe I'm dis fucking late, man!" He sucked in his teeth being super pissed off he had to fight the Green Goblin all the way in Queens and now he's late.

Super late!

"Fuck, man!" He cursed the damn villain till death, because he wanted to be there early. He wants to see him, be with him, be alone together with small chat.

Spider-punk did a flip and twist before landing down a dark alley, quickly changing into his nice dressing collar shirt with his own twist into it. He ripped the sleeves off and add some patches, then got his favorite pairs of Converse. He grabbed his backpack filled with his Spider-man clothes taking it with him.

Going to an Art gallery called, 'Sensual', there's a lot of people coming in on opening night. Hobie awkwardly walks inside to find so many of Miles' close family and friends and- DAMN, does he have a lot of family members.

When he would hang out with his crush at his place, he would look through Miles' photo album and learn all about his family. Hobie hearts flutter when he finds anything new on his beautiful crush like Miles has a sister that's the same age as him. It's kinda of crazy to learn that he loves going to old buildings to tag when he was young or played bass guitar.

The more Hobie finds out about his crush doing the most adventurous stuff, the more his hearts pounds. He's fallen in love and it's hard.

"Do you want me to take your bag?" The receptionist asked the tall young man, "We don't allow large backpacks in the art gallery, there's a chance sculptures can be knocked out."

"Um... sure." He gave his backpack at the receptionist. Seeing how crowded it was, he may knock something over. He's a bit clumsy at times.

The young man slithered his way through the crowd hearing loud chattering and wine glasses clinging against each other. His dark eyes room around the gallery to find his crush, there's so many people.

"Miles! Come over here for a photo!" Hobie quickly snap his neck to a young woman's voice. His eyes quickly landed on his crush dressing so handsomely. Miles wore a maroon suit with black collar shirt and black dressing shows. His tie the same color as his suit. Then, he wore gold earrings, and got a side fade.

God, he looks so fine!

Hobie could feel himself blushing, he quickly took a glass of sparkling water to quench his thirst. Then quickly check at a sheer metal sculpture revealing his reflection, he fixes his hair. His hand dip into his pocket to pull out two breath mints, popping them in his mouth.

Slowly he made his way to the small group where his crush is at. The twenty three year old saw Miles taking a photo with a teenage girl and two middle age adults that were much older than Miles. The older woman and older man were wearing a formal attire.

The older woman happily hugs Miles with her cheek pressing against his own, having a loving smile. Miles hugs her with joy.

Are they his parents?

Hobie tries to connect the dots, the only way he can know is to introduce himself. As he kept walking up to them he could hear the teenager girl in a pretty light blue sparkling dress said, "Wow, bro. This is so cool. Check you out being a Brooklyn Artist."

"Hahaha, really? I feel like I got a lot to prove still." The thirty year old artist gave a weak smile.

"Oh come on, have more confidence!" His little sister playfully punch his shoulder, giving a big pout.

"Si, mi vida. Necesitas tener más confianza!" His mother place her hand on her son's shoulder. "You always been timid with your dreams."

"Yeah, son. This is amazing!" His dad nodded having a glass of wine in his hand. "This place is so fancy."

Hobie almost reached them until a woman wearing a pink dress, Ganke with his fiancee beside him, and a muscular man wearing a vest suit showing off his muscular arms. Well, more than one muscular man, there was three in the same outfit showing off their muscles. They stood with dark brown skinned going from dark to brown skinned like a gradient of the three.

The darkest muscular male had long dark brown dreads, the middle one had long twists with blond hair, and the last one had braids with brown hair. They were greeting Miles by hugging him and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Hobie stood being jealous, his eyes staring looking unfazed yet he is annoyed. Who's touching his crushes like that? Finally got up he heard the three men talking all at once. "You did amazing work. I never knew my body can look this hot." The one with brown braids happily said.

Hobie glance at one of the art to find the guy is one of Miles' model. Oh, it's the same model he saw in those very detailed drawing from Miles' social media. Only this time the model is in a sexual posed wearing robes with flowers in a large painting. It's a beautiful painting to show beautiful in this man's hair with his body is the accent to it.

The young man slowly went up his way seeing how the women in pink keep being touchy with his crush. He did not like that at all. Why does his crush have to be so damn likable!

"Awe, Miles! Look at you having some cuties at your side and I thought you don't date younger men." The woman in pink had her wavy dark brown hair sways from every movement, she hugs Miles' left arm having the prettiest smile.

It disgust the punker. Normally, he isn't the jealous type, but this is the man he's fallen for. Miles is someone he never felt before, he wants him so bad. Bitting his bottom lip, then licks his lips before going up to greet Miles. "Um.. hey?" Hobie awkwardly went up to his crush.

The group looks at him wondering if he mistaken them for another group around his age. Miles perks up with his big eyes gleaming, "Hey, Hobs! Glad you made it. A bit late, huh?" Miles asked going to him to give him a side hug.

"Sorry... I was held up at work, someone called in sick." Hobie painfully lie to him, yet he didn't like to lie to his crush.

Miles maintain his wide smile, "Okay, it's cool as long as you're here." He pulled him to meet his friends and family, "This is my friend from college, he helped me out in music class. Hobie meet my friends and family." The older artists introduce him to his parents, "This is my mom, my dad and my baby sister, Billie."

"I'm not a baby anymore!" The teenager with the sparkling blue dress pouts cutely, "I am sixteen years old!"

Her dad guff and chuckles, "Hmph, still too young in my book." His mustache would wiggle when he grumbles.

Miles' mother giggles, "Jeff, let her be independent. She's a young lady."

Miles frowns, "You'll always be my baby sister!" Then he turns his head back to Hobie and his friends, "Anyway, these are my friends. You met Ganks, but this his fiancee, Danika. Then, my good friend Barbara, and Judge. These are my models from my gallery, Trey and his partners' Adio, and Rodrigo. Hobie saw the muscular man with brown braided hair with a wide smile being Trey. The other man with dark umber skinned with dreads being called Adio and the other brown skinned man with blond hair named Rodrigo.

"Hello," Hobie felt overwhelmed to see Miles' friends. Normally, the punker always makes people jaw dropped or make them tongue twisted. Somehow he expected Miles' to have fewer friends and maybe be more shy- God, why did he think that? Of course, he would get along with anyone, he's too damn likable.

"Hi, Hobie." Barbara wearing a pink dress flashing her high end jewelry, "So, what did you think of the gallery?" She arched her eyebrows then turn to her friend, "He's a bit young to be your friend, Miles."

"Come on, Barbs. Don't think like that." Miles chuckles, "Hobs, is a cool dude." Miles talking to his friends.

"Awe, he's so young, papí." Rodrigo smirks at the young man, "He reminds me of myself when I was a kid." He had a Dominican accent with more of feminine touch to it.

"Teh," Adio chuckles with a thick Jamaican accent, a bit deeper with one hand on his hips. "He's cute tho. Miles, don't you think he's a bit too young!"

Hobie hates at how they were picking at him for being young. Billie puff her cheeks going up the models, "So what! I'm sixteen and grown! He's grown, too!"

"Billie, stay out of grown folks business." Her dad mumbles.

His wife's giggles, "Awe, leave them alone, mi amor." She tug on her husband's arm, "Let's finish looking at the gallery!"

"Miles watch your sister." Miles' dad said while being pulled to finish the gallery.

Billie huffs and puffs being cutely adorable like Miles. She got the same likable softness with her big dark brown eyes. Barbara coos, "Awe, so cute! I could eat you up!" She snuggles her friend's sister.

Trey chuckles, "Awe, it's great to be young, again." He had one hand on Miles' shoulder, which Hobie stares at it almost like daggers.

Ganke patted Hobie's back, "Don't mind them. They're always like this."

Danika giggles, "Always!"

"So Hobie, how old are you?" Billie faced the punker, even though she was only five foot seven inches.

"I'm twenty three."

"Awwwee, he's so young." Barbara and the three model jokes.

Judge snorted, "Not that old. So Hobs, what's your major?"

"I'm majoring in Music. I like to write songs and make them." Hobie simply say, "But I'm thinking about Engineering..." He has been looking into Stark Industries for their amazing technology. He needs to make a new high tech suit instead of easily ripped spandex.

"Ohh, see you should focus on Engineering. That's where the money is at." Judge said.

Miles said, "He can do both I know he can."

"Awe, you're so sweet, sir." Adio playfully hugs Miles with his head resting on his shoulder. "You watch out for him."

Hobie stares at them being incredibly jealous. Why are they fondling his crush so much and why Miles is letting them touch him? It makes him wonder what's going on during their art session.

"Stop it, you guys. Anyway, let's enjoy the gallery." Miles happily said, "There's still a lot to look at."

"Haha, okay. Okay. We'll like the kiddo alone." Trey patted Hobie's back.

"Let's get some wine." Barbara said to the gang as they went back to where they stop before the speech Miles gave. Hobie saw Billie still with her brother and felt like she should leave too.

Miles saw Hobie giving him a look with a sad pout. Then he understood, "Oh, Billie!"

"Hmm?" His sister turns to her older brother.

"How about you go to Ganke and Danika for a bit? Hmm, tell Ganks to get you some candies. He owes me one let him know." Miles asked his sister.

"Ohh! Okay! I will be back though!" She giggles as she rushes over to her brother's best friend and fiancee.

Miles and Hobie were all alone together, "You good, man. I never expect you to dress up for me. I'm touched." Miles' big eyes on the tall slim young man.

"It was your big day... sorry, I wasn't there for your opening or speech." He rub his hand feeling his rings, another frown formed on his beautiful sculpture, "I wanted to be here- I really did try..."

"Awe, don't worry about it. Look on the bright side, I can give you a full tour." Miles said, "I know you would come, and I'm happy you did. I don't care if you were late, it's New York man. Who's ever on time?"

Hobie took Miles' left arm, finally being pleased to have his crush all to himself. "Man, you must be tired from work, huh? Okay, I'll be short and simple. You don't wanna hear me yap."

"I do." The punker quickly said.

"Oh... okay!" The artist happily took him to the first painting of the gallery, where the entrance is at. "Okay, so I called this 'Mi Gente!', My people in Spanish. I noticed in our art world there's been a few artist, who happened to be Black or Brown showcasing the beauty of Blackness or their culture. I know growing up being a Black Puerto Rican, I got to see how colorism affects views on beauty. Though, I didn't want to focus my works on just my culture... I wanted to enhance beauty in the specific models I pick. I did pick them for a reason."

Hobie looks at the first drawing of a beautiful detailed of a Black woman in the nude holding her new born. The attention to detail with the soft stroke of pencil to highlight the woman's features like her wide nose and lips in shut a delicate pressure. It's in a profile position with her eyes softly glancing on her baby while wearing a head wrap to protect her hair, her skinned glistening. Every stroke is an important decision to her beautiful face, yet... The attention to the silk blanket in extreme detailed being wrapped around the baby with so much love and care.

The punker could feel the mother's love, and her baby boy with full of curls, his eyes closed being in comfort. It's the trust he's placed on his mother that makes him look so comfortable in his sleep. The soft pencils gradient gives a lush soft skin of the baby showing he's well fed. Those cheeks shows he doesn't miss a meal. When Hobie finally noticed the mother holding a Rosary necklace neatly tuck almost hiding in the fancy blanket.

His eyes saw the description of the art work, Miles called this work, "Madonna and Child". The punker said, "Interesting."

"Heh, you think?" Miles smiles, he prefer to stay quiet about his meaning of his work.

"Yes, it's very good."

"Really? My mother and grandmother weeps at the painting. I believe the models are around here, her husband burst into tears." Miles rub his chin thinking out loud. "I didn't see it, but my sister told me."

"You don't seem excited about it." Hobie said.

"As an artists, you always gotta punish yourself. I know my work is good, but I still the mistakes I've made and I want to improve it." Miles admits, "It's a curse of an artist, I suppose."

"Well, for what it's worth I think it's fucking amazing." Hobie admits trying to hide his flustered cheeks.

Miles' smile grew wider with his eyes showing a glint of joy, "I'm glad, Hobie." He took his friend's hand to show him more works. Hobie got to see big beautiful works; Miles added his friends in his paintings. One got the slim punker chuckling, it was a painting of Miles and Ganke as teenagers being at a birthday party.

Ganke got cake on his face and head, while Miles stares in deer in headlights at the viewer. The painting is meant to replicate a photo of Ganke's sixteenth birthday, yet Miles put a massive twist to it. The background of the painting had a group of homage to the Korean Americans and Black American figures, then a lot of mainstream and graffiti overlapping. It seems to show the gentrification of the location of the area and it started off from people of color that built the culture of New York.

Well, this is what Hobie took it for. "What's so funny?" Miles asked.

"It's just..." Hobie squint his eyes, "What the fuck are those?" He pointed at Miles' big Nike shoes. "You're lookin' rather Goofy."

"I didn't grow into them. They were my uncles." Miles chuckles, "I'm surprised you didn't shit on my outfit."

"You're being engulf in clothes, man." Hobie snickers. "What Y2K is this?"

"Hey, me and Ganks were rockin' it. We were trending." Miles playfully wave his suit with a proud huff.

"Whatever you say, lil Bow-wow."

"Wo-oo-oow, cold man. At least call me, Nelly. I got swag like him." Miles grins.

"Swag? Man, you are an oldie." Hobie looks at his crush with giggles coming out of his mouth.

"Hey!"

As the two continue through the gallery, they were laughing and talking about their day. When Hobie got to see a large painting of Spider-Punk, he automatically froze. Miles paused along with him, "Like it?"

"Yeah, it's-It's so fucking awesome." Hobie let out a wide smile, his eyes shimmering with delight.

"Really? I thought I need to add more purple." Miles judging his own work very harshly.

"What are you talking about? This gotta be your best one." The twenty three year old's thick short locs wiggle in joy.

Miles playfully said, "Nah! You really wanna see my best work? Come on, this was my last piece and I thought this one is my best. I would never sell it."

"Oh yeah, what makes it better than Spider-punk?" Hobie scoffs, before taking a quick picture of the large mural of Spider-Punk. He finally loosen up being more care free with his poses, more chill than before with his crush's friends.

The slender man had one hand on his hip following Miles to the last art work. For the moment, Hobie thought his body stopped, time had stopped from what he saw on the white wall. Miles giving his friend a giddy smile, "You like? This is my greatest work."

He couldn't believe it. Hobie had to blink a couple times before his face went bright red. His hand shyly cover his mouth trying to hide his flustered face. "Wha? Stop. You must be joking, eh?" Hobie finally asked feeling difficult to accept this kind of gesture.

The painting is him wearing his favorite headphones sitting in some brick fence with a flat surface wearing his cool style of Punk and Streetwear. His eyes painted looking hopefully while the area of his birth home in Harlem. He remembers him and Miles had a project to go to Harlem into a popular Jazz performance, they spend the day hanging out. Hobie likes to think it was their first date, to his surprise he didn't expect Miles to take a photo of him.

One time, Miles did ask him to model for him. To his disappointment he didn't get naked for him, but only had to make head poses. Hobie swallowed hard as he looks at the name of the art work, 'El Barrio' He had to look at the background painting to see how it's the ghetto part of Harlem yet Miles was able to give it a unique charm with selective color palette of Gold, culture, and richness. It's the good and the ugly of Harlem, Hobie knew its apart of him.

"You say this is your best work..." He finally said.

"Yeah."

"I could see it. You put your soul in it... but" Hobie's eyes sparkles at the large work, "I think all of them are beautiful. I see the love, the passion- you put all your trust in your work. I hope you be kind to yourself, because all of these are fucking amazing."

"OH yeah?" Miles being content with that. "I'll try as long as you keep being my muse."

"Hahaha, fuck off. I ain't shit."

"Come on, Hobie." The thirty year old man nudged him, "You are my muse."

"Alright. Though, I am happy you think I am worthy of being one." He never felt beautiful in that sense. All his life he had to fight, be alone or casually search for someone to be desirable in the way Miles seems him.

Fuck, I do love him.

This made him love the artist even more. How is this possible? Why he's falling for him so hard? Is Miles truly a wonderful person? He's kind, gentle, playful- Not a fucking lustful twit the punker sees at bars. Can his crush the one for him?

"Oh, you are." The older man said, "Oh before I forget, do you want to do to dinner with me and family and friends? We're going to celebrate after this! I wanted to ask you earlier, but I forgot with all the setting up. We found a good restaurant where they make Vegan, vegetarian food! I remember you were one of those right?"

That's right. Hobie started his life as a Vegetarian, he's not ready for Veganism seeing how he's fond of certain dairies. His heart pounds against his chest, "Ye-yeah, I'm vegetarian."

"Oh perfect! So you're coming?"

"Yeah!"

Miles happily grab his arm giving a hug, "Awesome! How about a selfie?"

"Sure." Hobie saw his crush pulling out his phone to take a selfie. The pure joy of him being with his crush made the day so worth it. Hopefully, he can confess to Miles later on.

warnings: cussing, mentions of sex at the end, angst but then fluff, hatin' ass ex.

you and jack have been together for almost 6 months now, but it only took him 6 seconds to realize how high maintenance you were.

you loved designer brands and you always kept you hair and nails done so when it was time for you to walk down the red carpet with jack next to you, he knew you wanted to show off.

he was ready to announce yall's relationship and tonight was the big night.

"jack! I need help with my hair, I don't know what to choose" you whined.

jack leaned over your shoulder to look at the options you selected.

" baby you know I love you with your braids, or shit a 30 inch buss down would look good too" she smiled wide.

you frowned.

"fuck you know 'bout a 30 inch buss down?? that wasn't one of the options."

jack laughed and kissed you on your forehead.

"don't get fucked up jack" you said jokingly before booking an appointment to get the wig installed.

"you know I'm fucking with you baby, but it would look great. even tho yo natural hair is my favorite"

he said as he looked in the full body mirror sitting in the corner of the room you and jack shared.

after booking your appointment you slowly walked over to jack and put on your best begging face.

"you know what would go good with my hair?" you asked

"what?

'a new dress and nails, maybe some jewelry and shoes and new makeup!!"

jack turned to look at you.

" you was gon get that anyways mama" he responded.

you hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek.

"thank you baby"

after that yall finished getting ready in silence.

once you both were ready jack took you shopping. he wasn't worried about the price, he just wanted you to be happy.

but he also secretly wanted everyone to know how fucking fine his girl was.

you starting looking for shoes first, then your dress, and make up, and jewelry.

after shopping it was time for your appointment. jack didn't stay because he had to take care of something but you knew it would take a little while for your hair to get done so you didn't mind.

that was until his ex-girlfriend walked in.

she didn't see you at first but you damn sure seen her.

jack had told you stories about his ex. about how she only cared for herself and money.

you loved nice things but you weren't money hungry.

you decided to mind your business but she finally noticed you and had to start some bs.

" oh my god Y/N. you look beautiful" she leaned in for a hug but you moved away

"aww dont be like that, what? mad because jack was with me last night?"

you didn't believe her, you knew she would lie about anything to start some drama

"bitch please, my man left yo nasty ass long ago" you rolled your eyes.

you didn't have time for this hoe and her bullshit.

but then she pulled out her phone and showed you a picture of jack sitting at her house, and sure enough the time stamp proved it was from yesterday night.

you heart dropped

"just thought you should know" that bitch.. his ex said before walking away.

after your hair was done you immediately called jack

"hey baby, I'm right around the corner ill be there soo-"

"what the fuck were you doing with your ex last night?" you cut him off.

you heard his sigh

"y/n listen I was just over there because she needed me to help move her furniture into her new house"

you let out a spiteful laugh

"oh so when she calls, you go running huh? she's not your girlfriend jackman. I don't give a damn if she needed help she should've called someone else! and the fact that you answered when she calle-..."

you took a deep breath

"I don't wanna talk to you right now, ill find a ride. don't bother picking me up."

and with that you hung up. you felt like jack had you looking dumb. your own boyfriend was with his ex and now she's bragging in your face.

you called your best friend to pick you up and take you back to her house, you didn't wanna see jack.

you get ready at her house. even though you were mad at jack, you refused to let him show up to the red carpet alone.

you took an uber which arrived at the same time as jacks.

"Y/N?" he called out to you.

"can we talk?"

you simply nodded and you both walked somewhere more private.

"look I'm so sorry y/n. you're right, she's not my girlfriend and I shouldn't have picked up her call..shit I should've blocked her the day we got together but baby I cant be without you. she's blocked now and I know that doesn't mean much but I'm begging you to forgive me baby."

you looked up at jack.

"I forgive you jackman."

jack pulled you into a kiss and smiled as his arms wrap tightly around your waist

"now lets go mama, cus you look good as hell and once this is over I'm ripping that expensive ass dress off."

authors note: this is my firs time writing so please be nice! also feel free to leave suggestions on how I can write better or request for what I should write next. I'm not on here all day but I will eventually get back to yall. I will post everyone that I write for soon thank you so much for reading!! <3

ANARCHY🎸⚡️| Hobie Brown

previous: –one.

–two.

SASHA'S POV

God, I felt so alive.

I knew none of their songs, but I was rocking on.

"I DON'T CARE WHERE JUST FAR!" The tall man with wicks screamed into the mic, strumming the living hell out of his guitar.

"AAAWWWAAAYYYY." A blonde girl sang background vocals while also strumming her guitar.

"I DON'T CARE!" He screamed into the mic one more time, before dropping to his knees and shredding his guitar for his solo.

He looked godly under the red and blue lights. He shook his head, making his wicks move with him.

All of the band members played their instruments and thrashed, the audience copying their movements.

The last note he strummed, echoed throughout the venue and he slowly rose to his feet.

"FAAAAARRRRR!!!!" He screamed and continued shredding.

"AAAWWWAAAYYYY!!"

"Sasha?" It was him, my crush...my ex crush? "What are you doing here? You didn't answer any of my texts. I was wondering why you didn't come to class today to present our project together."

I was at a loss for words, I didn't want to see him.

"Who's the hottie?" A friend of his came up from behind. "Oh is this the one you were gonna fuck?"

I felt so embarrassed. I pushed through the crowd, leaving the venue. It was freezing out here.

I looked across the street at a bar. I'm not really a drinker, but a few drinks wouldn't hurt.

HOBIE'S POV

"You were amazing out there, Hobie." Pav playfully punched me in my shoulder.

I wiped my face off from the sweat with a hanky. "I know, 's what I do. Every one of ya did amazin' out there."

"Thanks Hobie." Gwen and Miles said in unison.

"Yeah you guys were sooooo good together." Pav gushed and softly pushed Gwen and Miles together.

We were walkin' back to our tour bus. Miguel was outside waitin' for us.

"5 minutes over the original set list time." His arms were crossed.

"It was only 5 minutes." Miles said innocently.

Miguel sighed.

"Let me guess, you've ran out of 'em stress balls, haven't ya bruv?" I smirked at him.

He glared at me.

I put my hands up in defense and smiled. "Just takin' a piss, bruv. 'm headed over to the little pub or whatever they call it here for a bevvy."

"You mean bar?" Gwen said with a raised brow.

"Whateva." I waved her off. "Hold this for me boss man." I took my guitar off and threw it at Miguel and he caught it.

He glared at me. "Be back by 1:30, all of you."

"Yeah yeah." I walked off.

"Pavitr, make sure they all get back here." Miguel said.

"Yes sir." Pavitr answered in a joyful tone.

"So underage drinking?" Gwen questioned.

"Well drink a cup of OJ, 's not my problem." I crossed the street.

Miles chuckled.

I opened the door and it was quite a big place.

People were drunk and singin' karaoke, some dancin' and some just sittin' at a table just drinkin'.

I went straight to the bar and made eye contact with the bartender.

I put two fingers up. "Two shots of bourbon."

The bartender nodded.

I looked beside me and saw a girl staring into space.

"Ya okay over there?" I put both hands in the pockets of my vest.

Her head slowly turned towards me.

Wow, she was a peng little ting.

She smiled softly, she must've been drunk off her arse.

"Here you go." The bartender slid two shots towards me.

I slid her $10. "How much she done had to drink?"

"About 10."

"She's paid yet?"

She shook her head.

"I got it for her." I slid a $50.

I downed both of my shots at the same time and looked back over at the girl.

She was lookin' at me.

"Say..what's ya name?"

"Sa..Sasha." She slurred.

"Pretty name. Name's Hobie. Why you sittin' there drinkin' away? Something' botherin' ya?" I took a seat beside her.

"Yeah.."

"What's the problem, love?" I was honestly concerned.

"It's..a lo-long story." She sighed.

" 'm up for it." I leaned closer.

Next part: –three.

Madeleine Hyland on The Amazing Devil's origin story

From this podcast interview dated November 29, 2018 where she mostly talked about Shakespeare and acting, but also this:

Ted Fox  27:05   I'm wondering, you're the front woman for that band, and you said you play the character Scarlet Scarlet performing in the band. Can you tell us a little bit about your music as well as the name? Because I think people always love band names and where band names come from. (Madeleine laughs) So both of those pieces, what kind of music you guys do, and where your name came from.

Madeleine Hyland  27:24   Oh, yeah, I love the story. (laughs) So the band was formed by my friend Joey and I when we were doing Wolf Hall for the RSC; it was like a two year job, right? So it started in Stratford-upon-Avon and then went into the West End, then went to Broadway. And by the end of Stratford, you know, because I was understudying seven parts or something, and he had a small--well, no, he had a significant small role, but it was the kind of show where it was a little like a one-man show about Cromwell with everyone else overseeing and having a couple of things. Fantastic. We had a wonderful time. But we also had a lot of downtime. So we started, Joey's a wonderful guitar player and a very talented songwriter. And we both kind of had a box of songs under the bed that we'd been wanting to do things with for a while. So we got those out. And he started tinkering with my things, and I started, you know, making suggestions. And so we started writing this album. By the time we finished Broadway, we had a sort of whole album ready to go.

So as soon as we got back to London, we were like, Okay, we have some pennies for almost the first time in our lives, saved up from being on Broadway, so let's go and put them all into into recording an album. And so we went into a tiny little studio in Stoke Newington, which was an ex-button factory. And it was a very intense experience to go in and make this album, which was kind of, it has a sort of narrative to it. But yes, I suppose Scarlet Scarlet and The Blue Furious Boy--which are, so Joey is the other co- front person, so--and the whole album is full of duets. And yeah, I suppose when we're doing it, I suppose initially, as well--because I'd done a lot of singing before, I'd done jazz singing and had this whole thing with Dexys--but I felt like there was a sort of persona that was coming out in me when I was singing these songs live. And so we started to give her a name, which was Scarlet Scarlet, and it kind of just, it enabled me to then go a lot further. As we've gone on, I feel like those boundaries getting a little more blurry now. So we're not necessarily playing the characters to such an extent, but we may do again, you know, we may. It's also just really fun. I mean, there's no denying that we're both actors, and it's very much a sort of an actor's raging against the world kind of album, you know? (laughs)

Ted Fox  29:59 How would you describe, how would you describe the music itself?

Madeleine Hyland  30:01   So it's kind of epic-piratey folk rock, baroque, theater? (laughs)

Ted Fox  30:13   I've listened to some of it, so I would say, I like that description. Yeah.

Madeleine Hyland  30:19   It's ginormous fun to sing, and we really have learned a huge amount, while singing, about acting. And, you know, people often say, You know, what's more important to you, singing or acting? And I go, Well, no, like, the more I've done the singing, the more it's informed the acting, and the more I've acted, the more it's informed the singing, so they just make each other better, the more I do both of them. But yeah, then we came to the point where we had to find a name. We started writing this big, big list of names. And then, so I was living at the time with a five-year-old and an eight-year-old who are both in the first music video that we made, as well, which you can find online, it's called King.

And they're the two little girls running on the beach. And Martha was sitting there drawing, and I'd already come up with about 50 names. And we were like, Martha, Martha, what should we call the band? And she just looked at us and stopped drawing, and she was like, The Amazing Devil. (Ted laughs) Like it was the most obvious thing.

Ted Fox  31:17 How did you miss this?

Madeleine Hyland  31:18 How did you miss it? And we were like, Oh, oh, that's really good. (both laugh) And then I sort of went away and came up with like another 50 names, and Joey was still like, No, it's The Amazing Devil, it just is. It has to be.

pretty liar - n.yt

"....you date when you genuinely like someone.. and i'm afraid i'm not that someone anymore."

genre: yuta x reader, fluff, slight angst, exes to lovers

warnings: yuta is a real douchebag, wc: 1.4k

an: another yuta fic because i love that man to death (not literally)

--

"did you guys hear it? yuta's got another girl again. he's banging the valedictorian, dude." your friend, jiwoo said as he approached your table.

your other friend, giselle, widen her eyes at him and looked at you. "shut it, jiwoo." she said.

"no, it's okay." you gave her a smile and continued eating your choco pudding.

"what? they broke up like a week ago. y/n doesn't care anymore. right?" jiwoo turned to you as he waited for your response.

"y-yes." you answered.

he's one of yuta's friend, and if he knew you weren't moved on, he would totally spill it to yuta and yuta will definitely think how pathetic you are so you just said yes, when the answer is no.

you knew this was coming. you dated the playboy hoping he would change, but he did not. you did pretty well tho, as you dated for 2 years. but what sucks is that after only 2 weeks, he already had two girls after you.

"go away, jiwoo." giselle strongly said to jiwoo as she noticed you were getting uncomfortable.

"fine." jiwoo stated as he shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

"what a loser. don't listen to him, okay?" giselle said and gave you a smile.

"no, it's fine. i mean, he's right. we already broke up. i don't care who's bitch he's dating." you can't help but to strongly enunciate the last sentence as you felt a little bitter about it.

giselle smirked, "sure, y/n."

not long after, everybody's attention went to somebody walking towards the school garden.

as you turned, you saw yuta and the other girl that apparently, he's dating.

you know he's just here because he knew you were here. he's petty like that.

you rolled your eyes as you focused on your pudding.

"y/n." you heard your name being called, but you didn't turn around because you knew exactly who it was.

"y/n!" this time, he called your name pretty loud.

you acted as if you were startled and turned around to face him and his genius pet.

"yes?" you innocently asked.

"i have a party later." he said. you squinted your eyes as you were confused.

"are you seriously inviting me to your party?" you were shocked, as to how fucked up this man is.

"no. i'm just saying that you can come over and give me back my stuff. then you can leave." he smirked, looking at your pissed off face.

"fuck you." you exclaimed.

you heard his girl giggle, and that didn't sit right with you. you turned to her and raised your left brow.

"oh, you're happy?" you smirked, "right. have fun with my left overs."

she gasped, but you didn't wait for her to respond as you already stood up and left the school garden.

what a fucking douchebag.

---

you were folding yuta's sweater and other clothes into a duffle bag.

"what. a. fucking. jerk!" you said every word as you put each clothes into the bag.

"so you're just gonna let him?" your friend, jaebom asked you. he was on speaker phone.

"it's not like i have a choice! i don't want him to think that i'm a pathetic girl keeping her ex's stuff." you angrily said as you closed the duffle bag.

"well you would look pathetic if you brought that stuff to his place. while everyone's there, having party." he said.

"that's why i need you there with me. just pretend that we're together!" you grabbed your phone and bring it closer to your face.

"30 bucks." you heard jaebom, and you rolled your eyes.

"fine! pick me up later at 7, alright?"

"30 bucks and gas money."

"ugh, fuck you." you hanged up.

---

"are you ready?" jaebom asked you, as the car rolls in front of yuta's house.

there were drunk people outside, chitchatting and even making out in the front yard. as expected, yuta's pretty popular that's why this party has so many guests.

you grabbed your duffle bag, "yes."

jaebom went out the car first, and opened the door for you.

you got outside and smiled at him, "you didn't have to do that."

"i need to get in character." he whispered back, and you laughed.

you entered the house pretty easily, since the party is still going. you saw couple of friends, and school mates. the music was so loud, plus the voices of the people inside. some are playing beer pong, and the swimming pool is also open for everybody.

as expected, yuta knows how to throw a party.

you felt jaebom's arms around your shoulder, you were about to ask him why did he do that, when you noticed that yuta and his girlfriend is approaching.

yuta looked at you with a smirk, but it immediately disappeared when he saw the man beside you, with his arms around you.

yuta stared at jaebom intensely, that you needed to call his name to distract him.

"yuta?"

then he turned to you, "who's this?" he asked and looked at jaebom.

"i'm her boyfriend, dude." jaebom stated and pulled you closer to his side.

you saw yuta poke his cheek with his tongue, before looking down and smirking as if he's pissed.

he let go of his girlfriend's hands, and faced jaebom. he was dangerously close to him, and it looks like he's one blink away from punching jaebom.

you quickly got in between them and pushed yuta off jaebom because you know yuta can get 'physical' when he's pissed.

meanwhile, jaebom didn't even flinch.

"yuta, back off." you sternly said.

"here's your stuff." you let go of the duffle bag, and yuta just looked at it.

his eyes went back to you. "boyfriend, huh." he said and smirked again.

"yes. now take your stuff. be glad i didn't threw it away."

he stared at the bag for a second. "so.. how long have you been with y/n?" he ignored you, and faced jaebom.

"none of your business, dude." jaebom said and still stood his ground, despite yuta showing aggressiveness with his words.

"none of my--hah, none of my business, you say?" yuta sounds offended, as his laugh was certainly sarcastic.

he grabbed jaebom's collar, and that's when you panicked and pulled yuta's wrist away from jaebom. you smelled strong alcohol scent from yuta, which confirmed that he's drunk.

"yuta! stop! you're wasted!" you yelled, and yuta looked at you.

"boyfriend, really? y/n?" his voice suddenly became vulnerable when he said your name.

"yuta you already had two girls after one week. are you fucking insane?" you fired back.

yuta stared at you for a solid 5 second before turning to his girl.

"we're done. sorry." yuta stated straight at his girl without even flinching.

the girl gasped, and walked out.

you, shocked and confused, stood there like an idiot.

"now break up with him." yuta's voice became lower as he stepped closer to you.

you're still in the state of shock so you didn't respond at first.

yuta swiftly grabbed your wrist and pulled you away.

jaebom didn't do anything, as he knows that you two needed to talk in private.

"what the hell are you doing!" you yelled as you get pulled by yuta.

before you know it, you're already at his room. he locked the doors and walked towards you. you noticed the frame beside his bed, still got your picture on it.

you stepped back until the back of your knees touched his bed.

"break up with him." yuta strongly stated. he's so close to you, with his nose almost touching yours.

"no, yuta. you fucking dated girls after a week, and you expect me to stay single for you? i didn't know your ego is bigger than your balls, nakamoto." you tried your best to sound strong and pushed him.

"i distracted myself. i needed to. the girls where nothing but a distraction for me. but you.." his voice sounded softer than before.

"you don't date for nothing.. you date when you genuinely like someone.. and i'm afraid that i'm not that someone anymore." he almost whispered the end of his sentence, but you heard all of it. his forehead rested at your shoulder as he breathed heavily.

"we already broke up." your voice toned down too.

"yes i know.. i tried to show you that i moved on but damn, seeing you with a man, fucks me up all over again." he laughed sarcastically again.

you didn't say anything and gulped, as the situation become more intense.

he stepped back, and looked at you in the eyes.

"do you still love me?" he asked.

"n-no."

damn, why did I have to stutter?

yuta smirked.

he stepped again, closer to you. he caressed your cheeks, and slowly neared his face to yours.

"my y/n. still.. a pretty liar." he whispered and he didn't give you any time to process, he swiftly kissed your lips.

[pret-boy]

I'll just answer these straight up because NOBODY LIKES ME!

1. Anywhere with my bf is great but I would love an arcade date. I wanna beat his ass at games. Or get my ass beat. Either way it's fun.

2. I just listen to mentally ill Vocaloid producers and Japanese twinks given musical talent please don't ask me anything like this again.

3. Being accepted unconditionally.

4. Taken I love my boytoy malewife husband I keep him in a small enclosure.

5. Many because I'm very very arospec and I "crush" on people for like 3 hours max and move on. So it's like a fun movie experience to me. If we're talking crushes that lasted at least a week that'd be like... six as far as I remember. People I've dated included.

6. People who are the opposite of me. I like women who are cool and collected and don't fuck with me (and older ideally) and men who are sad wet cats and would die if I looked at someone else. I've only dated the latter though. But generally I also really like people who have a darker aesthetic (regardless of personality) because I have a cutesy aesthetic and visually those are fucking awesome together.

7. Extremely. I speedrun crushes. I will crush on someone 30 minutes into knowing them (happened with my ex btw) and lose the crush the next day. I don't even know if they count as crushes they're like just a fun little thing to spice up an otherwise boring day for me.

8. I honestly don't care. I'd like something wholesome and fluffy though, like festive movies. Christmas movies yay!

9. Sunflowers and lilies.

10. Neither you nor I know. No one does. Divine inspiration strikes me at random. I don't know what a musical note even is but I composed and played a short tune for my ex on our anniversary out of fucking NOWHERE because I wanted to surprise him.

11. Idk.

12. Anything and everything really but giving I'm more of a quality time and words of affirmation person (with acts of service on the side), receiving I like quality time too.

13. My bf's been calling me "darling" lately and it really melts me like fucking butter. So cute.

14. No.

15. Not at the moment actually. I've been busy so I haven't gotten into any new media and my old fictional crushes fizzled out. Does my bf's oc count? I'm obsessed with them.

16. Both are good I'm not picky. If I had to pick, quiet. It's cuter. Yeah boy quiet down. I like men who know their place and shut the fuck up. I really liked this guy in my class who sat next to me and this other girl and we would yap the whole time while he sat there with his knees pressed together and hands folded in his lap like a good little Victorian maiden, not even uttering a single word. Like yep thats a good man right there. Keep that up.

17. Every man I relate to is bisexual. Because I said so.

18. My boyfriend. Pizza.

19. Can't let the hoes know my music taste lest I scare them.

20. Idk. I get a lot. I guess my boyfriend saying I'm scary and he finds it hot is the best recent one.

21. ALL WHEN YOU'RE MY BOYFRIEND BECAUSE HE'S CUTE AS HELL!!!! But in general I love cheek kisses. I'm a serial cheek kisser. Toxic masculinity be damned my boy (me) can kiss his friends on their cheeks and hold them affectionately.

22. Back.

23. I won't say because it's an instant giveaway to who I am fr. I'm like the only man that insane about him.

24. NOTHING THAT BRINGS ME PLEASURE MAKES ME FEEL GUILT! I AM HEDONISTIC AND FREE!

25. I love PDA. Not hardcore making out in public or some shit but y'know.

26. Gently? Also with jokes and if I'm upset because of someone, hate on them and tell me you will hex them and they're ugly and doomed to die alone while I'm beautiful and a winner and god's favorite (all very true btw). I love envisioning my opps' downfalls.

27. PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE! PLAYFUL BULLYING! PUTTING MY BELOVEDS IN A CAGE! BEING INSANE! YAPPING ABOUT THEM 24/7! MAKING THEM SCARED! MAKING THEM CRY! WAITING FOR THEM TO COME BACK WHEN THEY'RE BUSY! MAKING TIME FOR THEM! SENDING THEM THINGS THAT REMIND ME OF THEM! TELLING THEM ABOUT MY FATHER (I FUCKING HATE MY FATHER)! And of course comforting them and making them feel safe. Also beating the shit out of my loved one's enemies (for real) and praying on their misery. I have a lot of loving sadism in my heart but also I'm a sweetheart angel who loves people unconditionally and doesn't know what the word grudge means. Unless you're mean to my loved ones then I'll fucking kill you.

28. Both. Whatever my bf wanna be I'll be the opposite I'm a very accomodating and flexible man.

29. I love sad wet cat pathetic loser men so much I wish they were real.

🎶Knock, Knock, Knockin' On Hooty's Door🎵

I wonder if anything will happen in this episode.🙂

(I say as if I didn't watch the episode twice before going to bed and writing this post)

I don't think I'll ever not be amused by the way Hooty just...does things with his face

Seems like he found a thesaurus at some point

Okay so it's canonically spelled "Hootsifer," good to know

Also, this is really all we get of Lilith, huh?

His little hoot/coo at Lilith's letter❤❤❤

To borrow a meme format: If I had a nickel for every time Alex Hirsch was involved in a show where one of the characters was experiencing pubescent voice cracks, I'd have two nickels, which isn't very much but it's weird that it happened twice

Eda's face🤣

As much as this bit is played for laughs, Eda's clearly still shaken by what happened last episode

Jeez, Luz, priorities /j

Pictured: Hooty

The way King talks about being pelleted implies this is something Hooty does on the regular

Hooty's plan to help King is literally a Buzzfeed quiz? Okay then

Betcha never expected lore from Hooty, eh?

"DO NOT INTERRUPT"

Officially a "type of worm"

The dance being a grievous insult wasn't exactly from nowhere, but still funny nonetheless

WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING COCCOON

Tiny Nose playing Switch definitely seems to be drawing from Dana's real life experiences

Wait, Hooty and Tiny Nose are friends?

Well shit, turns out she could use magic this whole time. Guess her going Super Saiyan wasn't just the power glyph.

I am extremely skeptical of your medical credentials, TN

I have so many questions about the methodology they used for the blood test(s)

I think Hooty may have misinterpreted what King was looking for

I'm still amazed at how King has had, and continues to have, moments in the show with some of the greatest emotional weight

Ooh, sound powers!

"IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A CRUMBLE!!!"

It just occurred to me that that segment consisted mostly of Alex Hirsch talking to himself

Hello not-at-all obvious setup

Today I learned that Hooty is the baker of the house. Maybe he'd critique Amity's fairy pie.

Aaaaand there's the sleep inducing

Oh shit

In hindsight the Owl Beast being part of a dream sequence is rather obvious

Wow, Eda, tell us how you really feel about the Owl Beast

Oh we're just gonna ride aboard the Trauma Express today, huh?

Oh, I guess Lilith did make an appearance, after all

Damn, Gwen, not even looking

Oh shit dad issues

Sandy Cohen?! (To anyone who gets that reference, hi. How are your 30s treating you?)

Well, I know who Peter Gallagher voices now, anyway

Oh dear...

(Also, bright flashing lights triggering the curse? There's an epilepsy allegory in here somwhere)

Blood and eye injury? Gotta stretch that Y7 rating

Now we have some context for that look on Eda's face when Lilith mentioned their dad: good old fashioned guilt!

I desparately want to make a "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" joke, but I'm better than that

New memory! Raine!

Oh no...

I get the feeling I'll hate this part, too

They were exes!😢 Guess the fandom called that one

The reasoning for them being exes is understandable, all too real, and goddamn heartbreaking

That said, the fact they never stopped loving each other🥺😢😭

I do hope we can see Raine again under less...traumatic circumstances. Maybe that wedding that was mentioned?

Oh shit, are we getting into the Owl Beast's memories?!?! What a tweest!

Bet nobody expected Cloaked Moonface to show up in the frickin Hooty episode

(Also, holy shit I briefly forgot this was the Hooty episode)

Who is this mysterious cloaked figure? And why are they so tall and long?

So the curse was a sealed beast this whole time. Damn.

And it was just picked up as beach junk to sell as a trinket. So much for it being connected to Belos. (Not that people will stop trying to do so)

Who had "experiencing sympathy for the Owl Beast" on their Bingo cards for this episode? Yeah, me neither.

And here we have the necessary Eda coming to terms with her curse segment. More accurately, Eda and the curse coming to terms with each other.

Goddamnit why does it have to be cute

"It's like sandpaper" IT'S LIKE A CAT I FUCKING CAN'T

Insert Steamed Hams reference here to kill the mood

New transformation!

Oh no she's hot!

No, Hooty, you made it surprisingly much, much better!

She might have a problem pushing people away and holding onto guilt, but Eda always knows that she looks damn good

Oh right, Luz having girl problems. Fuck, so much is happening in this episode!

"Cotton-candy-haired Goddess" LUZ! 🤣

Attuned to other people's emotions = being a fucking creeper

Oh Luz, what happened to you back home?

Also, 99.999% certain Amity would love your cheesiness

That's...rather morbid, Hooty

So much lore development, including the fact the Owl House has a basement

Classic inanimate object silhouette fakeout gag. Subversion in 3...2...1...

There it is!

I can't imagine being pelleted is a fun experience.

Honestly I have so many questions about how Hooty got Amity there in the first place, but I'm not so sure I actually want to know the answers to any of them...

Cue much panicking

Wow, I'm really getting some Into the Bunker flashbacks

Oh this is gonna be amazing isn't it

I commend Luz for not actually dropping dead of embarrassment

Seriously, how can Hooty set all this up so fast yet not hold a pen?!?!?!

Poor Luz, she thinks this is destroying her chances

Meanwhile Amity is just "Oh, Titan, is this actually happening?!"

The way she's fixing her hair!❤

Goddamnit Luz let this play out, she's so clearly into this!

"Again?!" Okay who do I have to kill?

Luz is luzing it

Nooooooo....

JUST TALK FOR FUCK'S SAKE (aka how like 95% of issues in literally any plot could be solved)

Noooo Amity's so heartbroken right now💔

This isn't what either of them wanted!

To be fair, Hooty, Luz had a part in this too. Not that she can be blamed entirely. Poor thing clearly had some awful experiences back home...

Now Hooty is McFucking losing it

Why did I think he was gonna say "Looks like I'm gonna have to JUMP!" I think I've watched too much Homestar Runner (jk there's no such thing)

Those pulsating organs are still gross

Eda swooping in to save her son (No, really, he actually is now)

I'll say things get weird when Hooty gets upset!

Yes, King! Save them with your voice powers!

Damn that is some romantic lighting, and Luz is enjoying the eye candy (cotton candy, if you will)

Luz's reaction to Harpy!Eda is the family-friendly summation of how the fandom has reacted.

Hooty really just tearing up the landscape in remorse

Mother-daughter moment about love life!

I appreciate not just Eda's encouragement but her actually asking Luz what she wanted

God, Eda is best mom

Also, OH FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING?!

OH SHIT

THESE ADORABLY AWKWARD NERDS❤💜💙

"I'm not as cool as you think" could be interpreted as self-deprecating, but here it seems...oddly reassuring?

The way Luz eloquently says how she wants Amity in her future...beautiful❤

Luz making some good faces

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YOU CUTE DORKS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

THERE IT IS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

LOOK HOW HAPPY SHE IS

WE WERE LOSING OUR SHIT OVER A PECK ON THE CHEEK THREE WEEKS AGO AND NOW LOOK WHERE WE ARE HOLY FUCK

Awkwardness is still there, but that's to be expected

BET Y'ALL DIDN'T EXPECT THAT TRAILER SHOT TO BE IN THE HOOTY EPISODE HUH

THE WAY LUZ RUBS AMITY'S HAND😭😭😭😭😭

(And yeah, it's gonna still be scary, but only because it promises to be so wonderful)

Let's give it up for Hootsifer, goddamn!

Let'a also appreciate just how fucking funny it is that Lumity becomes official in the Hooty episode

Fus ro WEH!

Hooty actually saying "Luz's new GF" out loud...

In just about any other show the love interests getting together would be a climax/culmination of the entire plot. Here? It's actually used to advance the plot, and that is brilliant!

Dana Terrace and the crew really just knocking it out of the park again and again, huh

"They're adorable, and deserve all the happiness!" Well said, Hootsifer. Well said.

Probably for the best they had Hooty promise that. As much as what happened/progressed, there was a lot of property damage.

OH SHIT ONCE AGAIN

King's dad/relative! And he's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson!

GODDAMNIT HOOTY

Wow. Just...wow. This episode.

King has voice powers! Harpy!Eda! Lumity are girlfriends for real!!!!

How do you pack so much into a single episode?! And so expertly?!

I had my suspicions before, but this confirms it: The Owl House is the greatest show of all time.

And we have two episodes left until the hiatus! And 11 episodes in the season after that! What are we in for?!?!?!

I, for one, can't wait to find out!

[sweetlemongrove]

Okay it’s time for the long awaited: Stories from Lemon’s time at the club (as requested by @star-sheeps and @cupcakeinat0r)

TW: Mentions of alcohol, nicotine, weed and Lemon being a biiiiit toxic

For context: my now ex-girlfriend (he/they) dumped me on Valentine’s Day. I’m 19 in the states with no fake ID, meaning I can’t get into a club normally, only during an 18+ night and I can’t drink anything. This means I was not very drunk, per se, but I was very high. But either way, I was very out of it.

Now onto the list of events!

Under the cut cuz there’s a lot:

🍸I first arrived by myself at around 11pm. I had taken an edible around 10:30, so I would enter the party sober. While I’m in line to get my ID checked, a girl and her man turn around to ask me who I’m with. I tell them I'm by myself

“You’re too pretty for that” she says

“Yeah, I just got dumped” I tell them.

“No you’re too pretty for that! Fuck him!”

“Yeah no, he left me for his Minecraft boyfriend”

“Boyfriend?”

“Oh no, she’s a girl”

“Well fuck her!” All of her friends clamor in agreement. I try to find them later that night. I can’t.

🍸I’ve been wandering around the club for a bit now. It’s 11:30 and I’m trying to find a group of girls to dance with. They notice I’m by myself and ask if that guy who’s standing behind me (who I did not notice) was with me. He was not. So they drag me into their circle to protect me. The girl I’m dancing with is super drunk, but very pretty and very sweet. She’s showering me in compliments and I’m trying to repay them to the best of my lethargic ability.

🍸It’s around 12 (I think, this is when it started to get fuzzy), the edible is kicking in. Me and this girl are on each other, dancing and twirling each other. One of her friends is passing around a vape. I’m nervous af so I ask for a hit to calm me down. She (pretty girl) then asks if I wanted to do “the thing”. I have no idea what the thing is but I said yes anyway. She then takes a hit, grabs my face, and blows the smoke into my mouth. I was stunned, but before I could say anything, she hands it to me and asks me to do it to her. So I do. She does it to me so often (mostly because I was struggling not to cough, I’m a social smoker) that my voice is hoarse by the end of the night. We also maybe kissed, but she got close to me that she lost her balance, which I didn’t notice until she was grabbing onto me.

🍸It’s around 1:30, and they all decide they want to go home. Since I’m by myself, I chose to stay. To my surprise, another person in the group offers to stay with me. Turns out he wasn’t part of the group at all and was also someone who came by himself. So, the two of us stayed together for the rest of the evening. Cool Guy was sober, but whined about how much he wanted a drink, which was my queue that this guy was a loser and not trying to hurt me. He ended up staying with me for the rest of the night, only touching me in respectful ways, helping me move around, and checking up on me. He knew I was a lesbian too, and he didn’t expect anything. I called him my emotional support straight man, and I am now his mean lesbian friend.

🍸The night progresses and Cool Guy and I are finding a new group. We join up with these girls from the local HBCU. They’re very sweet and let us dance with them. One of these girls, I’ll call her T, was the most welcoming. She’s the only person to be in the club and ask for my pronouns, which was very affirming for me. These girls are throwing ass like no tomorrow. T even throws it back on me, but I was high and tired, so I danced a little bit, then apologized for being stiff.

(More background for those who didn’t know, I love dancing. It is such a huge passion of mine, and I plan on minoring in it. I’m a good dancer for the amount of training I have. Not when I’m high, because I get lazy.)

She also used me and Cool Guy as support when she was grinding on this other guy (we’ll call him D, he becomes important later). This means that she had one hand on my shoulder, and one on Cool Guy, leaning on us so she could throw it back on him. T is apologizing profusely and Cool Guy and I are just laughing about.

🍸Later in the night, another guy comes up to me Cool Guy actually tries to move me out of his way (he thought he was just passing through), but he saw that and was like “oh sorry, I don’t want to be disrespectful” and I was like “awww that’s very sweet, he’s not my man but thank you”. He introduces himself and is buttering me up, but then asks if I want to grab a drink. I say no. He asks if I want back to his place. I have no idea what to do but I don’t like the energy, so I turn around and stand close to D and T. D saw what was going on, and told me to just tap him if he’s bothering me. Lo and behold guess what happens, asshole guy grabs me on the shoulder and starts asking why I’d do that to him. So I run away and tap D, who immediately steps into action. He walks away from T and gets in this guy’s face, and his friends form a wall around me and the other girls. To give an example of how D was feeling about the situation, he said “I will fuck this bitch up I don’t care if I get thrown out”

Safe to say, asshole guy left.

🍸 As for me, I wasn’t getting any dance offers Until people discovered I knew that I can whine my waist and know all the words to Bitch from the South. Then I had eyes on me. I start grinding on this guy (to my surprise, I didn’t know I could do that) and I’m having a great time. I give him my ig and he goes away. He comes up behind me asking to grind on me again. I give him a look and shove him away. I block him the next day.

🍸Me, Cool Guy, T, D and all of their friends stay till just about closing. Cool Guy and I get in our Uber and head home, and Cool Guy wastes no time talking about himself and his tinder profile (he saw me swiping through mine in the car) and how he thinks he catered it to the female gaze and he doesn’t know how to get matches (which, bless his heart, it wasn’t in a creepy way, it was in an awkward way). Our Uber is speeding through streets, which almost makes me wanna puke. We get back, where thankfully I did not throw up, and Cool Guy helps me out of the car, and helps get back to my dorm, where I go to bed.

-

Over all, fun night! I’m gonna text the new people I met so I don’t have to go alone ever again. But I’m glad I went :)

You guys wanna hear my stories at the club?

Happy Ending

Bill Skarsgård x reader

Warning Miscarriage and Depression

Imagine You being Jensen Ackles's pregnant wife and working with Bill Skarsgård on behind blue skies and you end up having a miscarriage and Jensen doesn't answer the phone. three years later you end up working with Bill again on Hemlock Grove.

You couldn't move. The cramping pain in your lower tummy was so bad. You knew that you were losing your baby.

Y/n, Bill asked?

In here Bill, You said as you hold your stomach.

Bill was about to say something when he saw your blooded shorts.

Please take me to the hospital, You said.

It's going to be ok, Bill said as he picks you up.

I can't lose this baby bill, You said as you hid in his chest.

You won't, Bill said.

By the time. You had got to the hospital and it was already too late.

You knew that the baby was gone.

I'm sorry but the baby didn't make it, Dr.Lauren said.

You had burst into tears as the doctor left the room.

I'm sorry so y/n, Bill said as he rubs your back in comfort.

You had told Bill to call Jensen. But he never answer the phone at all.

Three years later .

You had got pregnant again in 2011. You had found that you were having a girl but Lauren was still born .

Your and Jensen's marriage had got worse over time. He wasn't there when Lauren was born and it had made your heart snap into pieces.

After that. You and Jensen had got divorced after two years of being married .

Then. You had started to work with Bill again on this new show called Hemlock Grove.

You play Roman Godfrey sister in the series .

It was fun working with Bill again. You also work with your mother on set to. She plays Olivia Godfrey.

You were the daughter of Famke Janssen. Your mother Famke doesn't like your ex-husband Jensen. Famke's hate towards Jensen had grown when you had shown up on your mother's doorstep crying your eyes out.

Over the weeks. You and Bill had got closer as the weeks goes on and you were starting to have feelings for him.

You were a little nervous about telling Bill that you like him more than a friend. You didn't know that Bill had feelings towards you too.

Famke knew that you had strong feelings towards Bill by the look that you would give him with the love-struck look in your brown eyes.

You and Bill had finally ended up telling each other that you two like each other.

Famke was happy that her daughter had found someone again that makes her happy. Famke was glad that it was Bill in her daughter life and making her happy again after her daughter ex husband Jensen.

It was now around Christmas.

You had a huge surprise for Bill.

You had found out that you were late for your period. So you had ended up taking a pregnancy test and it had come out positive.

You were happy that you were pregnant but you were scared that you are going to lose this baby too.

Hi. Are you ok, Bill asked?

I have something that I need to tell you, You said as you sit down on the couch by him.

What is it, Bill asked?

I'm pregnant, You said.

Bill look at you before a smile came upon his face

I'm going to be a father, Bill said.

Yes. You are, You said as you smile at him.

August 9th, 2014.

No Touching

[Ava Starr x Female!Reader]

Summary: Friend dates with Ava always brighten your day (and night). Tonight is more enlightening than brightening, though… 

Previous Masterlist Next

Word count: 1.7 words

Warning(s): 14+ | angst, gay panic, dolls, 1 (one) racist antique, Steven Segal movie, chronic pain, tears.

AN: No actually I didn't bother to edit this, not doing that anymore, I think too much as it is. As always, I write with a black reader in mind but feel free to read even if you aren't. 🖤

You are eighty percent sure that you and Ava are dating.

85%... 78%... 81.5% sure.

It would probably be best if you cleared that up (but be cool about it though). You've started seeing each other more and more, and on purpose no less. Never a dull conversation, she's reluctant to share some of her life story but she's eager to know everything about you and you're more than happy to indulge. It's not like you know nothing about her; you just don't know the specifics of her past. 

Her parents died when she was young, she's ex-military (you think?), and she just came off of a huge life change and is getting used to what she calls 'real life.' You figure out she's a bit of a shut in and hates crowds, so you go out of your way to show her quiet places and introduce her to things she's never tried before. The bowl by your front door where you put your keys has 20 or 30 marbles from ramune bottles in it. You can't seem to ring her secret out of her, she just gives you this cryptic knowing smile and laughs at your attempts to sweet talk or annoy it out of her. 

You feel so close, growing closer still, she's quickly become the best part of your week, and you catch yourself thinking about her even when she's not with you. But you've never held hands. Hell, you've never even so much as brushed shoulders with her by accident. If you're dating, shouldn't you at least hug her goodbye? Is she even able to be into you like that?? 

You try not to let the panic set in as you stand outside of the antiques mall. You told her you liked old things and promised to show her your favorite pastime. God, how do you go about this? Should you just flirt with her and see how she reacts? Also how does one flirt? What if you’re fucking up and she really just wants to be friends? God knows you could use some friends right now. 

When she does appear, you do nothing. You continue to act relaxed and enjoy her presence, promising yourself you’ll ask about it afterwards. Ava’s wearing that grey jacket again made of a thin sports fabric and you make a mental note it might rain today. 

“Ava,” you stage whisper, waving her out of the jewelry section by the front desk and into the maze of vintage old clothes and furniture. “Back here, to the left.” 

Deep deep deep in a corner of the massive store, Ava stops dead in her tracks (you run into her but back away quickly) and stares. 

“This... is…” Ava covers her mouth with her hands to hold her laughter in, “ghastly.” 

The shelf is wide, with dark wood trimming and protective glass. The lights are almost fluorescent as they illuminate dozens of humanoid dolls. Some are cute, but some are also creepy, unnerving, down right scary. 

You point at the one with the Jonbenet Ramsey likeness and deep cracks in her porcelain face. It was overly large compared to the rest, having to have stuffed legs crossed like a sitting child. "I think I fear that one the most." 

You felt Ava shiver and didn't even realize you were standing that close. Her eyes darted from face to face, taking in every terrible and wonderful detail of them. You smelled coconut in her hair and tried to distance yourself a bit, missing the conversation. "Huh?" 

"I said they're haunted, aren't they?" 

"That one definitely is." You look over the other dolls. "I don't know, I think the rest are kinda cute. 'Cept that one: that one can fuck off straight to hell." 

Down on the second shelf where the light began to struggle in reach belied an offensive porcelain joke. The decoration portrayed an over animated child at play, with oil black skin, fat red lips, and bulbous eyes. This child was dressed in white rags and sucking on a wedge of fruit. Guess which one. Fucking guess, I dare you. 

"It's not even a fucking doll," Ava grumbled. "Why is it here?" 

You leaned in to whisper, "someday, I'm gonna buy that thing just to fucking smash it on the pavement." 

"Oh, what a lovely sound it would make." 

You hum. "I'm not gonna give nobody money for that trash. Can't steal it either, we'd never make it to the door." 

Ava looked over her shoulder with a cheeky smile. "We?" 

You simply tilt your head at her, and she huffs out a laugh. She nodded as if agreeing with you, then drifted away from the case like a wary woman. You toured through the rest of the store like a treasure trove of other people's memories, war memorabilia, ancient brand merchandise (why would anyone want a life size green m&m in their house? Who is this for?), and paintings from the dadeism era by unpopular artists. You ate lunch at the vendor shops in downtown and retired to your place for a movie. 

You must have fallen asleep at the beginning but you came to during some big shootout between Steven Segal and generic Latino drug dealer #7 when you accidentally dropped your hand into Ava's lap. Quickly, Ava withdrawals, thrusting herself to the other side of the couch as if in disgust. Your head jerks up in hurt and confusion, you hadn't even felt anything except a light tingling. You could barely hear the tv audio over the sound of blood rushing in your ears. 

"You can't touch me," Ava spat. "You just can't. Ever. Please…" 

"I'm sorry. Ava, I– I am so, so sorry I didn't mean to–" 

"It's not your fault and you didn't know," she mumbled and faltered, "it's just… you can't." 

You feel tears prick in the corner of your eyes as you try to swallow. "I'm sorry. Really. It won't happen again." 

Ava looked up at you guiltily and sighed. She folded her legs and eased herself off of the couch arm rest, hands tucked into her lap and unable to meet your eyes anymore. 

"It's not what you think it is," she explained. "I… I have a condition of sorts. And it… it hurts.” 

Her words put a hold on the tears threatening to spill from your eyes. “Like a… skin condition? Or nerves or something?” 

Ava nodded quickly. “Yes. yes, like a nerves thing. My um, my nervous system. It's chronic."

“Oh Ava,” you cover your heart with a breathy sigh, “of course! I wish I’d known I would have never–” 

“It’s not something I like to talk about.” She crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m really glad you understand. Sorry I freaked out, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings or anything.” 

You tried to blow a raspberry. “It’s whatever, didn’t hurt my feelings.” 

Yeah, you could hear the weakness of the lie, too. Still, Ava went and parked herself on the couch exactly where she was before– close but not too close. Warm but not quite touching. You were ready to let it slide and go right back to pretending to watch the movie when– 

“So what’s going on between us exactly? I like girls– I like you– and I don’t mean just in a friend sort of way– is it maybe sorta possible you might feel the same way about me?” 

Who said that? You? Honestly you’re feeling a little dizzy as you try and stare a hole in the tv screen. And Ava? Well at least she didn’t hold you in suspense for too long. She chuckled– and god you had to look. You had to know if she was laughing at you or with you. Your eyes snapped to her completely unmocking face. 

She blinked at you, bit her lip even. “Yes, I am.. Capable of liking girls. Might prefer them actually. And I definitely like you in a more-than-a-friend sort of way.” 

It takes a second to sink in. OK, it takes a hot minute to sink in. Like the movie ended and you walked Ava home and you slept in until 10 am and made omelettes for breakfast at noon and laid down on your floor staring at the ceiling until sundown. Yeah that kind of hot minute. And your lips curled into a soft smile because you had a girlfriend and she liked girls and you could not be happier than you are right now. 

~

Ava asked you to meet her on the corner by the antiques mall that night. You don’t know how but she got her grubby, thieving little mitts on that disgusting tar baby doll from the haunted doll shelf. You made her swear up and down she didn’t pay real money for it, then nearly pulled out your hair when you realized it meant she definitely stole it and– 

"How the ffffUCK do you just DO that?!" 

"Slight of hand," she mused. 

Fuck, and she was a geek. Yeah, you're definitely in love. She pushes the ugly thing into your hands and despite being cold porcelain it feels like it's burning. 

"Do the honors." 

There's no build up. No ceremony. You don't want to drag this out anymore. You take a swinging leap and spike that shit and watch it shatter into a hundred pieces with the most glorious sound you'll ever hear. You land in slow motion, already replaying the image of thick glass pieces cracking on the indigo pavement. You stand over your mess, triumphant. 

The quiet of the night time street drifts back to you, as does Ava. "I'll be honest I expected a big speech." 

You shrug. "I've been waiting too long to do that. Thank you, Ava. I mean it." 

"Oh believe me it was my pleasure." Ava swaggers closer to you and if you didnt know better you'd think she was going in for a kiss. "Tonight, the tar baby. Tomorrow, the world." 

You resist the urge to clap her on her shoulders and throw your hands in the air instead. "Sounds like a date!"

Italian 101:expressing romantic love and attraction

As promised I'm back with the romantic version of this post :D Link

As usual long post ahead (❁´◡`❁)very long oof

Let's start this journey by defining each role with it's name :)

It can be quite useful to understand a certain type of mentality ! You'll see what I mean right away.

Boyfriend is ragazzo and girlfriend is ragazza and they literally mean boy and girl ahah. Now, it's normal for unmarried native English speaking couples in their late 20s and beyond, to call each other boyfriend/girlfriend. That's really not a thing in Italian. Ragazzo/a are only used by teenagers because it does feel quite infantile to refer to your s/o in such terms in our language 😅 especially if you live together... Ex:{nation x}è il mio ragazzo/la mia ragazza

... Which brings me to: compagno/a. It's the word used by adults to refer to their s/o and it means partner as in life partner and it really doesn't matter whether you're only dating, living under the same roof and/but decided not to marry(but maybe start a family!) it's still the correct terminology! So realistically the Italy Bros would call their s/o their partner, at their current age :) And oh! If you ship them with Vanya it could be a great pun since it also means comrade ahah. Kids of course don't make use of it because a) it indicates a committed relationship as I explained, it would be weird b)it kinda sounds like classmate lol (compagno di classe). Ex:{nationx}è il mio compagno/la mia compagna

Weirdly enough it's not that uncommon to hear a teen say fidanzato/a, which supposedly should only indicate your fiance ahah. As a kid it profoundly amused me to hear fellow 12-year-olds talk about their fidanzati. But it is indeed a common way to call your loved one and I used it myself to talk about my friends' bfs/gfs. As you can imagine it lost such connotation, but I can say that many still feel quite nervous about being called fidanzato/a because they feel like they're about to step on the altar. Ex:{nationx}è il mio fidanzato/la mia fidanzata

Talking about altar... Husband is marito and wife is moglie. On the other hand groom is sposo and bride is sposa. Ex:{nationx}è mio marito/mia moglie. As you can see they don't need an article, *John Mulaney voice* quella è mia moglie! I'm so sorry.

A more yoyo *snort* way to refer to your bf/gf is tipo/a, which literally means dude/dudette ahah. Ex. {Nationx}è il mio tipo/la mia tipa😎.

Onto dialectal versions:) very important tbh, could give that something more to your texts. A common way to call your bf/gf in many northern Italian languages (except my own rjrnh) is moroso/a. It stands for "amoroso", loving and it takes the article according to the language; in most cases it does, in Veneto it doesn't. Ex:{nationx}è il mio moroso/la mia morosa or (in Veneto's case) ho visto mio moroso parlare con mio fratello(I've seen my boyfriend talk to my brother). Would be cute in a social media au like, bio "mio moroso🥺" link to the poor lad's account.

In many southern Italian regions you can find zito/a :) (it's used in Apulia, Sicily and Calabria as far as I know!!) and it pretty much means lad/lass.Ex:{nationx}è il mio zito/la mia zita. I'll assume someone like Mano would use it in a more intimate context.

Common terms of endearment and silly pet names ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

A very common mistake I've encountered in ffs is "mi amore". Italian really doesn't work like Spanish, in our language "mi" isn't a possessive adjective but a particle that indicates the indirect object :3

Ex:Mi piace il gelato.(I like ice cream, Ice cream is liked by me).

Mio is what you're looking for ☺ and it doesn't change according to gender because the adjective takes the word's grammatical gender (amore is masculine). In this case the adjective should be postponed "amore mio", unless in an example like this:

Ex. Sei il mio amore(you're my love).

Tesoro works the same way!! "tesoro mio".

As I mentioned in my platonic love post patata/o is very common and so is It's diminutive patatina/o, but it seems like carotina/o (little carrot) is popular as well (not as much tho! Once again the masculine form is pure invention ahah :)) .

Many use sugary sweet stuff like pucci-pucci which don't really mean anything dbbd we all probably collectively think they sound cute(or irritating, depends who you ask).

One I've seen a couple of times in ffs is caro/a...which indeed means dear in Italian!! But it's not that popular:( mostly because it sounds straight out a 50s commercial. It's used in a ironic way and once again ,with others I've mentioned in the other post ,to address someone who happens to be particularly annoying.

My favourite ones have to be respectively tato/a for Feli and principe for Mano. I truly thought tato/a(tatino/a) were panitalian but my main moots are from the South and they said it's not a thing there,,,? Quite the revelation. It doesn't mean anything, it's just baby talk and it's used for.. Anyone really... Your child, your pet, your bf... Might be a short form for the so popular patato but who knows ahah

Principe truly fucks me up. The idea of Romano calling his bf prince out all of things sends me. And yet it seems like it's quite popular in some parts of the South?? In my friend's @flamaflavio words "I've seen 30 something years old women use it". Oh btw princess is principessa just in case :3

Any kind of cute little animal is game(for example cucciolotto,little puppy or topolino/a little mouse that I've already mentioned). And ah in English there's this thing where you take your s/o name and add bear, in Italian it's orsacchiottino, little teddy bear.

Almost forgotten about it, a bad boy type of character might use dolcezza, sweet thing, or piccolo/a baby.

Let's conclude this post with some sentences o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Sono innamorato/a di te "I'm in love with you"

Mi sono innamorato/a di te "I've fallen in love with you"

Ho una cotta per lui/lei "I've a crush on him/her"

A more sappy one could be "sei la luce dei miei occhi" (you're my eyes' light). It's also said by parents to their children

Ti adoro "I adore you"

Mi piaci "I like you"

Sono pazzo/a di lui/lei "I'm crazy for him/her"

I won't cover compliments but I can tell you how to say someone is hot ahah. You can say:

Che figo/a! (He/she's really hot!)

È davvero bono/a (He/she's really hot)

A funny way is "È proprio gnocco/a". My girl @flamaflavio introduced me to " È un intero piatto di gnocchi " "He/she/they is/are an entire plate of gnocchi" and I've never been the same😭

We also say "è proprio manzo" to talk about a guy ajsjsj. Manzo means beef, so I suppose it's the Italian version of "beefcake". On the same tone of the gnocchi plate a common meme is " Non è solo un manzo è un'intera macelleria " He's not only beef (a steak??)he's an entire butcher's.

In genovese slang(not language mind you, kids language ahhehs) we might jokingly say "Che beccio". A beccio is a very confident (and hot?definitely stylish) guy.

A more crass way can be "Che fregno/a"

Will keep this PG djdj but you can check this link out if you want some funny horny on main expressions ahah link

Aaand we're done!!! Just let me know if you've enjoyed this and what you'll like me to cover in next post 🥰 thanks for reading this

[likeadevils]

hey! for your post about sun moon and rising but with taylor albums, can you list out the characteristics of each album? i'm having a hard time associating them and it'd make it a lot easier, if you could do that :)

oh totally! Its really all about your personal association, so i’ll give vibes for the era and the album. a good rule of thumb is to read the prologue if you want the tone for the era quickly. honestly, there’s no set system, go wild

taylor swift (2006) “debut”

era: blue and teal and brown. cowboy boots and sundresses, wild curly hair, trucks and mud and wildflowers. very 2006, very high school, very country

album: swings between pining from a distance and wanting to destroy a boys whole ass life and feeling like you have no friends and no one understands you in the whole world. like I said, very high school, but also full of whole ass bangers

fearless (2008)

era: yellow and white. 24/7 prom. she’s got the fairy tale aesthetics set in high school, she’s got calling your ex boyfriend out on national television, she's got so many headbands. god to be 8 years old when the joe jonas/taylor swift drama was going down

album: again, fairy tale set in high school. lots of crushes, lots of realizing men aren’t shit. it’s about the pull between childhood ideals and real life tearing them down, and deciding how much you should cling to your dreams and how much you have to let them go. it’s also a pull between knowing that these little moments are kinda ridiculous but also taking everything so goddamn seriously

speak now (2010)

era: purple purple purple. she’s starting to grow up! her look has evolved out of sundresses and prom dresses and into a more preppy style. she’s moved out of fantasy and into this like. circus aesthetic? 30s movie type thing? watch the mean music video, idk how to explain it. her hair is still curly and but under control, and she’s solidly Famous at this point. the idea that she can’t sing is Big, and the man-eater stereotype is starting to get popular 

album: she’s starting to grow out of country. she’s experimenting with rock, but her pop sound is starting to take off. it’s all about Dramatics: she’s experienced her first heartbreak, broke someone else’s heart, and was in an emotionally abusive relationship all within two years. she’s moved out of her parents house and is both infantilized and forced to grow up to fast by the media.

red (2012)

era: its 2012 hipster style. her hair is Straight and she’s wearing vintage dresses everywhere, and she’s posting sketches of red lips and quotes from fitzgerald about heartbreak and finding yourself on instagram. she is dating and breaking up with harry styles Very Publically, and its the last major relationship she’ll have for two more years. the idea that she dates to much is everywhere, and she’s being slut shamed to an insane degree, while also being dismissed as a goody-two-shoes

album: it’s designed so each song has the opposite emotions of the song before it. it’s dramatic and it’s heart wrenching and it portrays these relationships that were toxic and messy and captivating. has the last vestiges of country, some more rock, and the first pure Pop songs, all nestled against each other to give you the epic highs and lows of being 22

1989 (2014)

era: its the height of her stardom, and she’s more beloved then she’s ever been and (probably) will ever be again. she’s cut her hair and moved to New York, she’s wearing high waisted stuff and taking polaroids, and she’s been single for two years and it’s has given her the freedom to find a “tight” group of friends and herself. shes talking about third wave feminism all the time, she’s papped every day, and she started dating c*lvin h*rris; they date for a year, he was the first boyfriend to be posted on social media, and the one she was with the longest (until her current bf). publically, she’s the happiest and most successful she’s ever been. personally, it’s more complicated, especially by the last few months. “she lost him, but she found herself and somehow that was everything” and “from the girl who said she would never cut her hair or move to new york or find happiness in a world where she wasn't in love”

album: single handedly brings 80s pop into the mainstream. (like seriously, her only contemporary influence is lana del rey, and even that is only on a few tracks. listening to this when it came out was a religious experience). it sounds basic now but only because she influenced all of the pop music that came after her. its also her first sonically cohesive album since fearless. subject matter wise, its very 80s movie. it’s the first album without a break up song that ruins a man's whole career— no cold as you, dear john, or all too well type. the relationship is on and off again, but more muted and mature then the tumultuous ones portrayed on red. its very star crossed; two people who just can’t find the right time. she’s also writing about how fame has affected her— blank space, shake it off, and i know places all directly reference it, but the idea that the whole world is watching is woven all throughout the album

bleachella (2016) 

this isn't an album but its definitely an era

taylor has become so oversaturated that people are starting to turn on her, and her mental health is suffering. her relationship with c*lvin h*rris is falling apart, she's changing her hair every couple of moths (most notably she bleaches it, and goes to coachella. so like bleachella), and then all of a sudden The Phone Call happens. kim and kanye release edited footage of a phone call that makes it seem like taylor swift is a liar who intentionally plays the victim to stay in the public’s good graces, and the world pounces on it. between that and the idea that her friend group is super cliche-y and exclusionary, her reputation is ruined and she goes in hiding for months. before going into hiding though, she breaks it off with c*lvin (he throws a FIT on twitter) and starts a whirlwind romance with tom hiddleston that includes them flying all over the world on vacations and meeting each others parents super quickly. this all happens in one summer.

reputation (2017)

era: black and white and gold. very edgy, very rich, lots of snakes and casual wealth. there’s the aesthetic of her being very hurt and defensive and lashing out, but the reality of her being the happiest she’s ever been. she’s still famous, but she’s learned how to have a private life and healthy relationships. the tough times have shown her who and what’s important to her

album: pretty much that. the first half is brash and bombastic and playing off what people expect her to be like, how they expect her to fall in and out of love quickly and manipulate those around her to see her as a good person (while exploring sounds that no one expected her to explore) and the second half slows it down and shows her falling in love more explicitly and sweetly and under cover. “in the death of her reputation she felt truly alive” and “finding love through all the noise”

lover (2019)

era: bright pink and pastels and bright colors and happiness and butterflies!! she’s in love and beloved by the general public again, but all of her past albums have been stolen from her by a man she thought she could trust. sadly cut off short by covid. “step into the daylight and let it go”

album: her messiest album (sonically) since red. a popular saying when it first came out was that it had the writing of speak now but the sound of 1989, which is... understandable? its the kind of thing you have to form your own opinion on. it’s on the surface all bubblegum pop and being in love, but it has some of the absolute saddest songs of her entire discography. a 18 song long rollercoaster

folklore and evermore

preface: these are definitely two separate albums and there’s a definitely a difference but this girl has so many albums and it’s taken me an hour to answer this ask and it’s 1am right now so i’m gonna smush them together. go listen to them, and we’re in the era right now

eras: it been covid so all we’ve got are a couple performances and the album visuals. cottagecore, a return to the small town setting of her first two albums, very understated and timeless. one noteworthy element is that both albums were surprise releases (especially after lover had almost a year of build up that kinda worked against it). she’s reached a level of artistic respect that she’s never had

albums: folklore is a level of sonic and thematic cohesion comparable to 1989, as well as having a similar feeling of like. oh god we’ve been waiting for you to make an album like this for years and you’ve still exceeded every exception and made it surprising. evermore is mostly a continuation of its sound, though it’s a bit more experimental. both albums are incredibly mature, and move into non-autobiographical storytelling for most of the songs. it’s easy to build your own world based on one or both of the albums. their main themes are also mostly divorced from relationships, and more tied to personal identity and mental state (though there is quite a bit about divorce and heartbreak in both)

"You Owe Me"

No Warning

Credit To Gif Creator

Chapter 3 "He Owed Me"

"I need to talk to Clay"

I feel the weirdness in the room, everyone looking at each other. So I ask "What"

Jax "Why don't we go upstairs and talk"

Ivy's grip tightens around my neck "mommy! please no don't leave me"

I look at Jax and say "She isn't really doing good around guys right now" I move Ivy up on my hip when the girl behind the counter says "I can watch her"

I look at her then Jax and Ivy turns her head towards the girl but keeps her head on my shoulder.

I look at Chibs when he says

"We trust her lass"

Then I look at Happy who's standing infront of him a little

Happy "Trust me little girl"

I nod and look at Ivy. Pulling her back a little to look at her face, I wipe her cheeks and say "You said you trust me"

"I do"

"Then I need you to go with" I look at the young lady and she says "Brooke"

I look back at Ivy and say

"I need you to go with Brooke so mommy can start fixing this ok"

She doesn't say anything just stares at my shirt so I look at Brooke and nod. She walks around the counter and I tilt Ivy's chin to look at me "I promise you are safe"

"But what if"

I cut her off by saying

"No. That won't happen" As I kiss her forehead I whisper

"We're safe"

Then I hand Ivy to Brooke and thankfully she goes willing. I sigh of relief before I look at Jax who nods at the guys. I follow them up stairs, Happy right behind me with his hand on my lower back.

We walk into this room. First I see a sitting area then I see the Church table.

I stop and look at Jax as he walks to take his seat...... at the head. The rest take their seats. One I don't know, some I know but they are in different seats and some are not at the table, including the guy I need to see.

I snap out of my thoughts when Jax clears his throat, he gestures towards the end of the table where the guy I don't know is putting a chair. I politely smile at him then walk to sit down.

When I do I finally look at all their placements and patches.

Jax. President.

Chibs. V.President.

Tig no longer Sargent that's Happys place. I smile and laugh a little before looking at Jax, saying "Things have definitely changed"

Jax "We could say the same darlin"

I nod, gather my thoughts then say "Clay Owes Me"

Jax shifts in his seat as do Chibs and Tig. Happy just looks at Jax. Jax puts his hand on the table, playing with his rings, I'm assuming gathering his thoughts then he looks at me and says

"Clay was doing shit behind the clubs back. He got mayhem."

My heart drops. Not because Clay died but because I didn't know what I was going to do. I couldn't kill the guy myself I could go to prison then I couldn't protect her.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts. Seeing Happy kneeled infront of me, with his hands holding mine saying breath. I didn't even feel him turn my chair.

I realize I was breathing really fast so I get it under control and say "Then I should be going"

Happy's grip tightens a little and I see out the corner of my eye the guys look at each other

Jax "We still can help you"

I shake my head before saying "No. You guys don't owe me. He.... did"

I take a deep breath, pull my hands away from happy, putting them on the arm of the chair, about to get up but Jax says

"I remember when you told him he owed you" I don't move, debating on staying or going.

Tig "You wouldn't ask if it wasn't serious doll"

Jax "And your...."

"Daughter" for some reason I looked up at Happy when I said that. We look at each other then he goes back to his seat.

Jax "Your daughter didn't seem ok"

I sigh, put my hands in my lap and turn the chair back around

Chibs "Just tell us 'hat ya an tha lass need love"

I bite my lip debating when Happy says "He hurt you? Or her?"

I take a deep breath and start "His friend touched her, he left her with his friend, I didn't know..... till she told me this morning when we told him. Well I acted like I didn't know well technology I didn't know who and I didn't know he left her there but he got mad"

I look up at Happy then say "He just yelled" I look back at my hands and continue

"but he's never yelled at her or me and I was scared of what could happen so once he left for work I packed her backpack with some stuff packed my backpack and got in the car and came here"

Jax "Who's he darlin"

I look up at him and he continues "You said he left her with his friend who is he"

"My husband. Well soon to be ex I called my lawyer today told him I needed him to get me divorce papers. He hasn't called back"

Jax "You and your" he looks at Happy then me and continues "soon to be ex got the same lawyer?"

"No. I got this lawyer when found out I was married"

They all look at me confused as hell.

I chuckle and say "Would you believe me if I told you when I left here I ended up in Vegas, got drunk and got married"

No's came from Jax,Hap,Tig, and Chibs.

I chuckle and say "Well I did. Then ended up staying married because we was really hitting it off and he lived in Vegas, I wanted out of Charming but didn't have a place to go"

The guys all say "WHAT" But Happy's voice was the loudest

I nervously chuckle before saying "Yeah I ummmm kinda just went..... ya know.... ummm nomad."

Giving them a sweet smile Jax,Tig and Chibs chuckle while shaking their heads but Happy. Happy stares at me. Like into my soul.

Jax "So what were you gonna ask Clay exactly"

"To take out my ex's friend. He's a pediphiole. I want his dick cut off. Balls too." I look at happy and say "tortured"

Happy "Oh yes I will"

"But I knew if I did it I could go to prison and I'd never be able to save her behind bars" I say looking at my hands in my lap.

Happy "I got this"

I look at him then Jax and before I can say anything Jax says looking at Hap "We" then looking at me he says "got this"

"You guys don't owe me"

Jax,Chibs and Tig say "Your family" I laugh "I haven't been here for you guys. Family is there. I haven't been here in like 10 years"

Happy "Don't matter. Little girl" I look up at him "We got chu" I see the guys nod even the one I don't know. I bite my lip thinking

Jax "Its not up for discussion. You got his info"

I lean back in the chair looking at him and say "Yeah. Richard Johnson, 44, 5'10, Black, Male, Works at Academy.

Here's the problem. Which is why I was gonna use the 'You Owe Me'.... he lives in Vegas, about 30 minutes before Cali and an hour from the area I lived"

Happy and Tig say "Where you live now"

"We just left today. I'll figure it out" I say waving my hand brushing them off

Tig "Oh how I have missed you doll"

I laugh "Missed you to Mr. Doll" he winks.

Jax "Ok Rat you Write all that down"

I frown my eyebrows. Rat? I think in my head but Rat.... says "Yeah" and repeats it back to me, I confirm that is correct and tell them the address.

Jax "We can discuss the plan tomorrow" we all nod and head down stairs.

End Of Chapter 💙

[spidernerdsblog]

I forgot that you existed : Chapter one

A/N: okay chapter one is here going a little slow with the storyline wanted to add a little bit of details to the lives of the characters. I can guarantee in next chapter our hero will be in full form and not just in flashbacks. Hope you like it. Feedbacks and suggestions are always welcome.

Pairing : Tom Holland × Singer reader

 Summary: It's been more than five years since you and Tom have gone their own ways after a heartbreaking breakup which had left both of you shattered. Both of you thought that you were finally over with each other and were happy in your respective lives until you meet again at a reunion trip planned by your best friend and you realise you are still not done with each other.

 Warnings: none, flashbacks.

 Mini playlist: love story, ME! By Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes, and the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air

 Sounds of giggles and laughter " No! she is my best friend" Harrison exclaimed pulling you by grabbing your left hand towards him "No she is my best friend!" Tom said, pulling your right hand. You couldn't stop giggling as you were stuck between a tug of war between your two best friends who stated that you can only be best friend to any one of them not both. You were only 5 years old then Tom & Harrison both 3 years older than you but you loved hanging out with them.

Your parents shifted from LA to London for their work and coincidentally your house was in the same neighborhood as were of the boys. You all became friends through your mothers when they used to take you to the park when you were toddlers. You were the only girl of the whole boys gang consisting of Tom, Harrison, Harry and Sam and they were very protective about you. You used to boss them around.

 As Haz and Tom were quarrelling over whose best friend you were in the backyard of the Holland's house. Tom out of nowhere declared "if it's that so Y/N is my girlfriend" and gave a gentle peck on your lips, you stood there in shock and soon you started blushing as you covered your face with your hands and ran inside to your mother who was chatting with Nikki.

 You went up to your mom and asked innocently "Mom, Tom said that I'm his girlfriend and gave me a kissy like you give me every night before bed. Is he no more my best friend ?" Both the mothers started laughing as Nikki spoke  “no peanut he will always be your best friend and if you love bugs stay like this forever maybe he can be your husband too."

 You scrunched your face and said "eww!! I will not marry him"

 “why is that so? " your mother asked laughing

 "he always steals my chocolates" you said innocently “no I don't!! Tom said from behind as he entered the house with Haz, “yes you did yesterday only you took it from my bag at school” both of you now started arguing. Nikki and your mom burst into laughter after hearing it. That was the beginning of your love story.

 Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say "Yes"

 .........................................................

You loved to listen to songs as it helps to release your stress and this song of yours was very dear to you as it reminded you of some sweet memories. You were scrolling through the photographs that you had taken back when you were living in London together with the boys as you thought about that whole incident, your actual first kiss, you smiled and shook your head at the realization that you both had disappointed your mothers.

 You finally dialled Harrison's number he picked up instantly

 "Hey Y/N!"

 "Hello.. this is 911 what is your emergency?" You chuckled

 "You will never change will ya?"

 "That was the plan actually to never change"

 "Talking to you after a long time man missed your voice so much"

 "Me too Haz.. So how's everything going there?"

 "Yeah everything is fine here just wrapped up my new film."

 "Great!! How are the boys, Nikki and Dom?"

 "They are all fine. Harry is busy with his new film's plot, Sam as usual experimenting with new dishes."

 "An.. and how's he?" You hesitatedly asked

 "He's good too wrapped up Avengers 5 will be returning home tomorrow.

By the way congratulations for the success of your new album to be honest it's a badass album the lyrics are dope."

 You giggled.. "Thanks Haz"

 "So now are you free or still have any upcoming projects?"

 "I can never be free Haz I m always working, always thinking of lyrics for my next song. Leave all that, what was the emergency that you said to call so urgently?"

 "Ummm.. Y/N I want something from you."

"Anything for you Haz"

 "You have to promise me first Y/N that whatever I say you have to say yes"

 "When have I ever said you no anyways just tell me"

 "No! Y/N first promise me"

 "Uggh Okay Haz I promise now spit it out. Sometimes you really act childish." you rolled your eyes.

"I want you to come back home I mean back here at London I have planned a 10 days trip to Cornwall at my beach house which we all used to go every summer when we were kids it's a sort of reunion for the whole gang I have invited Z and Jacob too"

 "Haz you know I only go on Christmas every year to spend time with you guys because that is when I m free. And I'm pretty busy this month. I have a recording to be done next week for my upcoming single."

 "Y/N you promised you will not refuse me. I just want a little time from your busy life.”

 "But Haz…"

 "And also I'm gonna celebrate my 30th birthday there, your man is getting old love."

 "Umm... I don't know what to say Haz I'm confused"

 "If you're thinking about him I can assure you there will be no problem besides he is not single anymore so why worry?"

 That is the problem Haz you said in your mind.

 "Umm okay I'll give it a thought and let you know after confirming the availability of dates." You ended the call and fell back on your bed, your hands and legs spreading across the bed  like a starfish. You face palmed and groaned.

 You went into a deep thought, your brain still processing the whole conversation you had with Harrison. After a few minutes you heard your phone buzzing and you smiled as you looked to see who was calling. It was Zendaya, face timing you. You had seriously wished to talk to someone right now. You have very few close friends in the industry and Zendaya was one of them. You collaborated with her for your bad blood music video and you guys clicked instantly from that day you became really close. She was your 3am BFF and you both knew each other's darkest secrets. You picked up the call.

 "So Haz called you up didn't he?"

 "Bingo!! So what are you thinking?" Zendaya laughed

 "I don't know Z. I just feel scared. I know I have met him a couple of times during my Christmas visits after everything happened  but that was just a one day thing and this whole 10 day trip is freaking me out. I also don't want to disappoint Haz. I missed all of his birthdays for the past few years on purpose just to avoid Tom."

 " You are just over thinking babe everything will be fine and I will be there to cheer up your emotional ass. Besides as much as I know Tom is very chilled out he will not bother you."

 " I don't think so. He has a very cold attitude towards me even now whenever I go back home. "

 After you moved to NY you almost begged your parents to move here and stay with you but they were adamant of staying in London so once in a year you used to visit your family and friends during Christmas. The Christmas Dinner was always hosted by the Holland's after your break up you always panicked to go to their house. The first year when you went. The boys, Nikki, Dom welcomed you as if nothing had happened; they hugged you with joy. But when you went to give Tom a hug he just backed off and out of formality gave you a shoulder hug and you got your hint to stay away. He even brought his new girlfriend for the dinner which you thought he did on purpose to make you jealous or hurt you. And you were actually hurt at the thought that he really moved on so quickly. So you avoided family gatherings to prevent such awkward situations.

  "Babe your life doesn’t revolve around Tom he was a part of your life which is over. Start living your life. And we are in our early 30’s and still single don’t wanna die like that do you ??. Even if you want you can have your sweet little revenge by showing off that hot body on the beach and show that asshole what he missed." Z smirked.

 You quirked your eyebrows “So you're telling me to be a bitchy ex who doesn’t want to see her ex boyfriend happy”

 " Nooo!!! I didn’t mean that just show him how happy you are, that you are one of a kind, he will never find anyone like you in his life. We are gonna have a blast honey and you are coming so start packing."

 You had to finally give in with a deep sigh you said .."okay Z I ll go but if I jump off the cliff after all the mental stress I'm going to get in those 10 days you and Haz will be responsible for it." you laughed.

"Oh we won't want that. Besides you have handled more stressful moments than this you will be fine dramaqueen." Zendaya said.

 You talked to Alex about the whole trip to sort out the dates. He was a little sceptical at first about the whole reunion with ex trip , but he believed in you and gave you a nod for the trip. You informed the good news to Haz of your approval to the whole trip. Before you could leave for your unplanned vacation you had to finish recording and shooting for your new upcoming single featuring Breidon Urie.

 "I promise that you'll never find another like me

I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh

I know I never think before I jump

And you're the kind of guy the ladies want

(And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)

I know that I went psycho on the phone

I never leave well enough alone

And trouble's gonna follow where I go

(And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)

But one of these things is not like the others

Like a rainbow with all of the colors

Baby doll, when it comes to a lover

I promise that you'll never find another like

Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm the only one of me

Baby, that's the fun of me

Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You're the only one of you

Baby, that's the fun of you

And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e"..............

 The song was soon officially released by the music company and the audience loved it and your work was done for the moment and now you could focus on the trip. All of a sudden you were really feeling excited about the whole thing. You and Z were constantly texting each other to plan about the journey.

 The day arrived and you met Z at the airport. "So ready for the battle?" she chuckled. You rolled your eyes and laughed "going on a battle would have been much easier compared to this I guess" but in your mind you were confident. Yes you had finally decided that you're ready to face Tom Holland to show him that you have also moved on. And to show him that he'll never find another like you.

 The nine hour flight was uneventful as both you and Z slept most of the time which proved that you both were in dire need of a vacation away from your hectic glamorous lives.

 It was around 5 ‘o’ clock in the morning in London when your plane landed. Both of you collected your check in luggages. Check out was hassle free as it was early morning with few people around and nobody recognised you as both of you were in your hoodies. As you came out of the exit door you started to look amongst the crowd and finally you saw those familiar icy blue eyes approaching towards you.

 “Ah!! Finally the star arrived” Harrison hugged you tight

“And all credit goes to you Z because our star has stopped listening to her best friend may be got someone else to replace me” he hugged zendaya and started laughing

“getting rid of you has been one of the failures of my life" you pouted

 "Ouch!" Harrison dramatically placed his hands on his chest as if hurt.

 "No one can ever replace you from my life you idiot" you lightly punched his arm.

 Harrison chuckled and said with a fake French accent "I m your chauffeur for the day, madame your car awaits at the parking lot."

 After you three put all your luggages in the car. Z and you sat at the back seat and Harrison sat on the driver's seat as he started the car. It was an approximate four hour ride to his beach house.

 " You know Haz I really missed the summer in London so glad I said yes to your plan."

 "The only thing I liked about London when I came for Spiderman:FFH shoot is the Harry Potter museum" Zendaya declared

 You noticed Harrison looked a little off today so you asked "you look a little bit stressed out Haz what's the matter bud?"

 "How do you read my mind so easily?" Harrison sighed.

 "I'm your best friend dumbo now tell me what is the thing that is bothering you so much?" you said with concern in your voice.

 "Okay I need to say you something, just don't be mad Tom will be bringing his fiancee too at the beach house. But don't worry everything will be fine I promise."

 Your face went expression less as you looked at Harrison then to Zendaya. You were starting to panic from inside. You let out a sigh and rolled your eyes as you leaned on Zendaya's shoulder. She rubbed your shoulder to comfort you as you thought in your mind "what a great start to this cursed trip."
