hey dougblr... let's say there currently exist a lot of bunny suit doug gifs on my computer... do we think it would be funny to upload them on christmas...

[gwyns]

you can hurt, too. your pain isn't a burden" what series is that? <3

why, i'm so glad you asked, anon! i hope you're ready for a somewhat ramble filled post

short answer: it's the briar sisters trilogy by the lovely carly h. mannon. there's currently two books out, with the third slated for release in january!

long, fangirl inspired answer: it's one of my favorite series ever. like, no joke

i read the first book earlier this year before the second released, devoured it, cried during it and it healed some part of me. then, the sequel released and i, again, devoured it, cried during it and it healed another part of me

i have never related more to characters than i do nicole and misha, but especially nicole. i've seen many people over the years talk about how much they relate to nesta and that's why she's their favorite character ever. i finally get that now with nicole, not that i can't relate to nesta (i do, very much), but it's different here because nicole feels and sees and expresses things exactly the way i do. it's such a comfort to find yourself in a character like this

i'll try to keep it short but i wanted to showcase some of the quotes that made me full on bawl during my read because, that's me

i can't explain to you how many times i've kept myself together simply because i felt like if i didn't, i'd never be the same again. i wouldn't know how to put myself back together, to feel some semblance of the person i was before

this seems like such a simple thing, especially since we've seen many characters in sjm's books feel unworthy, but to have it put in this perspective? it made me feel less alone. i do feel unworthy, but in a way i don't see many people talk about openly. i'm not even worthy of being seen as an option for love, not even a flitting thought through someone's head. it feels silly typing it out but... this meant a lot to me

and here's the quote you inquired about. reading this genuinely did something to me... i wish someone had said this to me many years ago. i don't want to get into my upbringing or anything but there have been many times where i've kept my hurt quiet so i wouldn't burden my parents. it's a very exhausting way to live

again, i don't want to get too into my personal life but for those who do know, somewhat, this... hit too hard. too close. it's still a lingering fear of mine i have to try and combat. in fact, i'm doing it right now and only mildly succeeding

and to end my too long list of quotes, here's some misha ones (please excuse how different this screenshot looks, i had to take it on my computer instead of my phone, like the previous ones). another constant fear of mine, being too much to handle and making the person i love most in the world hate and resent me for it. to become a burden to him, too. it's a terrible feeling and i wouldn't wish it on anyone lol

i'm going to shut up now but genuinely if you've been looking for something to help scratch that acotar itch while waiting for book news, this series is the closest thing i've found to it. it has fairytale elements, namely snow white and sleeping beauty, fated mates, dislike to lovers trope, betrayal, an interesting world and lore just... please read them. and, you know, tag me in any and all posts because i have brainrot

Dating Okita

continue under the cut

For a man who is surrounded by and interacting with women about 80% of his wake time, one would think he’d be a better sweet talker, but alas he’s not. Managing multiple… uhh… “adult entertainment” establishments, he’s just very used to the overall tone in the Syndicate Entertainment Districts and tends to forget, that people in the outside world usually march to a different drum. Which, of course isn’t ideal, because he tends to not date inside the districts, for at least two reasons: 1. Outsiders are told that everyone in the districts is shady as hell and are adviced to not engage 2. Everyone in the districts is shady as hell (Ok, not really, but some people are, and outsiders are -rightfully- wary)

So, outside the districts and also depending on which country he’s currently at (because the Syndicate operates almost worldwide), his communication might not be the best and he might come across as blunt (which he is) and rough (which he also is and now that I think about it, it might just be a “him” problem…).

Anywaaayyyy…

Calling it dating is probably a stretch, whatever may come out of it. Generally, Okita is way too deep into that certain life style that comes with the Syndicate and even more so with the amusement districts and if you’re no already a part of it (which would be assumed, since you’re an outsider), you’re likely not cut out for it. Which he knows. Otherwise he wouldn’t even consider spending time with outsiders. If not asked directly, he will likely not be very clear about his motifs, but that’s mostly because he doesn’t really have any except spending some time with someone who is different from what he is used to on a daily base. So, how far any of this goes is entirely up to you – Okita is showing his interest in you by spending time with you.

Preferably he would bring you to the amusement district, simply because it has anything you need for a good time out, be it dining, theatres, bars, vanity fairs - the districts are centered around having fun all night long in whichever way you wish. I’d assume you should be prepared to eat a lot, because he’d definitely drag you from food stall to food stall. And don’t worry - he won’t try to “recruit” you and pull you into a lifestyle you don’t belong to.

I kind of want to write really angsty fic about Thomas's childhood but I also kind of can't bear to (and also I want to do it justice and not have it just be angst porn)

Christmas Countdown part 4.

Day 16-17.

[MASTERLIST.]

DAY 18.

“MERRY CHRISTMASSSSS.”

“THIS PARTY IS GONNA BE ROCKING!”

“I'LL BE ROCKING AROUND THAT CHRISTMAS TREE ALL NIGHT LONG!”

“CHRIS! Oh thank God. I don't think I've ever needed you more in my life! Helpppp, please!” She whined, rushing over to Chris, eyes pleading.

Taking in the chaos that surrounded him, he couldn't help but laugh. Piles of streamers lay on the floor, a mound of paper clippings from the home made snowflakes, and tinsel and balloons were scattered all over.

“I see the naughty little elves aren’t all that helpful then.” He scoffed.

“I swear, this is all just pure excitement.”

“Really?” He retorted, folding his arms in front of his chest, willing her to continue.

Zack ran circles around the tree, tongue lolling around like a little puppy, whilst Kaitlyn entered her tenth consecutive minute of aimlessly headbanging.

“Well mainly. I think there's a possibility Zack may have had a few packets of candy for breakfast…”

“Uh huh.” He remained in the same stance, eyeing her wearily as she sidled up to him.

She wrapped her arms around him awkwardly, his folded arms acting as a partial barrier between them.

“Thanks so much for saving me and everything Chris. You're a real hero. Sooo I'm just going to pick up a dress for the party.” She took a step backwards, looking the picture of innocence.

“Don't you dare!” He warned, a hint of a smile teasing his lips.

“I'll send Zig and James over to help with the party prep. You've got this Powell” She shrieked as he made a move to grab her, fingers barely missing as she ducked out of his reach, and bounded out the door.

***

She let out the breath she'd been holding, zip clearly not budging. This was the fourth dress she'd tried on. Everything was either too big, too small, too frilly or too boring. Sighing dejectedly, she slipped her clothes back on, making her way to the exit. Who was she kidding? This was pointless.

“Before you go away empty handed, I have the perfect dress for you.” A voice called after her before she could leave.

“It's okay, I don't think the perfect dress exists for me.” She replied to the smartly dressed employee.

Giving her the once over, he smiled politely, before placing a plain plastic bag into her hand.

“Oh he was most insistent. And I'm inclined to agree with him, you will look nothing short of sensational in this!”

He frowned mid sentence, patting his suit jacket a few times.

“I almost forgot, he said you'd be expecting this.” He pulled out a neatly folded post it note from his inside pocket.

Day Eighteen - I can only imagine how beautiful you'll look in this. Please wear it to the party tomorrow. For me x.

Day 19.

“I see you and James actually helped out this time, how do you feel about that?” She smirked in Zig’s direction.

“A little shocked to hear that you bailed! How could you? I think Chris needs therapy after the day he had with those two hyperactive kids running riot.”

She gave a lopsided grin in response, before trying her best to look the picture of innocence.

“Who do you think babysits them the rest of the time?“

He chuckled, drawing her in to his arms, pulling her close to his chest. His chin rested on the top of her head, her floral scent drifting up towards him.

"When was the last time we did this?” He muttered into her hair.

“Cuddled?”

He squeezed her tighter, gaining a tiny squeak in response.

“I was going for hung out together. But now you mention it, it’s been a while since we did this too. Have you been avoiding me?”

She stepped out of his embrace, lips pulling up into a barely there smirk.

“Anywaaayyyy, Zack says I need to work on being a sociable host and not waste my time with the same people tonight so I’ll catch you later Zig.”

“Waste your time huh?”

She raised her hands in mock surrender. “Zack’s words, not mine. Looks like James could do with some company.”

“And James isn’t one of the same people you always socialise with?” He asked, eyebrows shooting up. She batted her eyelashes at him, blowing him a kiss as she pottered over to James.

Before she reached James, she felt her phone steadily vibrate against her chest. With no pockets in sight, she’d had to resort to using her bra.

Day Nineteen - Wouldn’t it be nice to have an actual conversation for a change? I have to tell you that dress looks amazing from where I’m standing x.

She stopped immediately, attempting to peer back at Zig without drawing too much attention to herself, but she found he’d already moved on. Typical! Scanning the room, her eyes found James sat on the sofa. Drink in one hand, phone perched on his knee. Had he just sent that message?

Sauntering over to him, she noted he seemed distracted, only noticing her presence after she gave a little cough.

"Room for a little one?” She teased a smile, perching herself on the edge of the sofa, perhaps a little too close to him as her knee knocked his.

“You seem to be a little dazed tonight Mr Ashton. Anything I can help with?” Her gaze dropped to the phone on his thigh and lingered.

Eyes following, he clutched his phone tightly, before hurriedly placing it inside his blazer pocket.

“It’s nothing. Just my parents as usual. Disappointed that I’ve made the decision to come to this party instead of their own back at home.”

“If it makes you feel any better I’m glad you picked us! You must be due back home soon anyway, they can’t stay mad at you the whole time.”

James rubbed at the back of his head, then chewed on his bottom lip worriedly.

“I wouldn’t be so sure. My mother has always been one for holding grudges.”

“James this is a party, forget about them for tonight at least! What can I do to make you smile?”

“I guess a drink would help.”

“You’ve got it. Stay here, I’ll be right back!” She grinned, patting his knee twice before going off in search of some drinks.

On second thoughts, it’s not the dress that looks amazing. It’s just you! x.

Reading over the text twice, she narrowed her eyes in James’s direction. The tiny living room was filling up fast, and she couldn’t see James clearly, her vision blocked by mingling guests. Did he have his phone in his hand again? Maybe.

“What are you having tonight? This one’s on me!” She jumped as Chris’s voice snapped her attention away from James, his words spoken with a hint of a slur.

“Very kind of you Chris. Considering I bought half the booze tonight!” She laughed, petting his head soothingly before rustling his hair.

“Ha. Oh yeah. Well this one’s on you then I guess!” He cheered, offering a cup in her direction.

Taking the cup from his swaying hands, she set it down on the table, before taking Chris’s cup seconds later. Clutching his hands tightly in hers, she smiled warmly at him.

“Hey. How are you doing?”

He blinked a few times, seemingly caught off guard by her questioning.

“I…honestly? This is my last night before I go home and I want to blow off some steam. All the family will be round at Christmas and half of them are still mourning. I just wanted to have a little fun tonight, I know I’ll be the shoulder to cry on twenty times over once I’m home.”

She squeezed his hands, thumb stroking over his gently.

“And that’s okay Chris. You do what you have to tonight. You deserve to enjoy yourself as much as anyone else! But promise me you’ll look after yourself too. You can’t be the one to support your family solely, you’ll crumble under the weight of it all.”

His eyes glistened and he nodded his head, chest rising as he drew in a long breath.

“Thanks. I needed that.”

“Make sure you don’t go too crazy on the drink though. You have a long drive ahead of you in the morning.”

“Eurgh hello Mum Friend, nice to see you again!” He groaned, eyes rolling exaggeratedly.

“Anndddd that’s my queue to leave. Have fun tonight Chris!” Picking up both drinks, she made her way back to the sofa, only to find James gone.

Sighing heavily, she sunk back into the cushions, taking a sip of her drink.

Her phone buzzed once more against her chest.

Is it selfish of me to wish everyone in this party would leave so I can have you all to myself? x.

Taking a cursory look around, her attention quickly returned to her phone.

This was all your idea wasn’t it? We could have been under the Mistetoe by now if you hadn’t come up with such an elaborate plan!

Something I’m currently regretting! x.

We’ve waited this long, what’s a few more days?

I’ll be going home tomorrow. I’m glad I got to see you one last time before I leave x.

I’m dreading going back!

It’s never as bad as you think it will be! I’ll be counting down the minutes until I see you again beautiful xxx.

Six days suddenly seemed like a hell of a long time to wait!

Day 20.

Dabba Developments: 17th July, 2017

RiKara bits in the episode were SOOOOO glorious! Yeah, there’s still major confusion regarding Omkara ke aakhir wo CHAHTA kya ha but there’s some clarity about why Gauri is staying in the house and what SHE wants. MY QUEEN SLAYED TODAY!!! Theek thaak happy burdaayy karwa diya mera!

“Humein samajh nahin aata aakhir wo chahte kya hain? Na jaane ki ijaazat dete hain...na rokne ki wajah.”

Is it just me or does Queen gets some darn memorable words to say? ANYWAY! She’s asking the right questions and that’s all that matters for now. Omkara being so SOFT with Gauri had me MELTING! Like..there was no exasperation in his expression at all? He was so patient with her.. cuz he knows her zidd. Can one blame Gauri for not knowing how to deal with THIS Omkara? The Nandi Bel who was ready to lock horns with anyone at any given chance has become so....gentle.

MAAAAA ka photo toot gaya which is the reason of Gauri’s outburst. I liked how the angry outburst happened because of a mixture of her own confusion and her allergy. Ek toh tabiyat kharab toh uski irritation..maa ke photo tootne ka gham..add Nandi Bel acting like a cotton candy tou uska confusion! No wonder Queenie had had enough in that moment and khade khade..okay bethe bethe BAJAA daali Omkie ki. Ngl...I applauded. LOUDLY.

ALSO BRUUUHHH!!!! CAN I JUST SAY HOW FUCKIN’ AMAZING IT WAS FOR GAURI TO BASICALLY TAKE THE UPPER HAND IN THE SITUATION AND SAY THAT SHE FORGIVES OMKARA?! He hasn’t done anything to apologize to her but she just sensed his intent and BOL diya ke jaao..maaf kiya. It legit must’ve left Omkara even MORE baffled about the situation. He was ready to be all soft and caring towarsd her, hoping to work his way slowly towards getting closer to Gauri. But she toh stopped his advances on the first step itself. Ab Omkie kya kare?!

What WASN’T glorious though was Gauri IMMEDIATELY feeling guilty for being rude to Omkie cuz of just two tiny things he did for her. First the tent thing and then Omkie sketching her mother’s picture. Okay..two admirable efforts to show he cares for her but SHEESH! WHEN YOU COMPARE IT WITH ALL SHE HAS DONE FOR HIM....!! And it’s still missing the entire point! Gauri doesn’t want him to do grand things for her..she just wants him to be honest with himself and herself and their relationship. Just give their relationship a name and status so she can deal with it accordingly. Gauri isn’t even do kashtiyon ki sawaar! She is barely in any kashti!!

And because I sat through the ObBahus scene I HAVE to say - ACP Anda...your dilemma makes NO sense. NONE. I roll my eyes soooo hard whenever they try to compare her situation with Queenie’s. And Annika is the one who is giving them tips. TOTALLLY appreciate her saying ke ObBros can’t be understood in a day..they are all a confused mess of emotions that they themselves don’t understand! But I ain’t gonna support Annika when she says Omkara hasn’t said anything but he sure has done things which show he cares. I’m glad Gauri isn’t convinced by it either..

ANYWAAAYYYY!!! Omkie Shomkie is on the way of doing things he WANTS to do cuz dil chahta hai and not cuz of majboori! So thank god for developments! I know Queenie ain’t gonna sit still till she gets all the answers she needs. Cool start of the week.

P.S - THAT BABY WAS SOOOO CUTE!!! But this track is gonna be SOOOOOOOO fillerish. Meh..baby cute hai. Mereko chalega! :D

P.P.S - The relate level with Gauri’s sneezing was SO high. Meri khud ki cheenken nahin rukk raheen!

First celebrity I think of when someone says attractive : i used to be super into Naya Rivera, so my knee-jerk reaction is still her, but that's mostly bc I never know what to say. Other amazingly attractive rich people: Diane Guerrero and Kirsten Stewart.

And yepp I've forgotten people's names. Most awkward scenario: there was this dude I used to chat with and we 'dated' for like 1 or 2 weeks when I was 13 and he actually was the first person who kissed me (unfgh it was gross ugh) and he was weird and oddly obsessed with me. Anyways, he moved to another part of Germany after some time. For about a year we still chatted regularly, even phoned each other like once a week (once I woke up his mother at like 2am by calling their house phone woops) so anywaaayyyy he was also friends with this girl from my school and about a year after we had stopped talking the dude was visiting that girl and they randomly rang my door bell and asked if i wanted to hang out and i didn't recognize him until like 10 minutes into the convo and also I didn't wanna go outside that day and when I recognized him I still didn't remember his name and I said OUT LOUD TO HIS FACE "OHHH YOU'RE.... YOU'RE THAT.... C!" C was the first letter of his name but I didn't remember his name so I just called him C and he was pissed and left

[yukipri]

BBBOOOIII!!!! (or GGGUUURRRLLL!!!! or EEEYYYY!!! idk) THE FIRST PROGRAM GOTS ME ALL !!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! ITS LOOKS GREAT AND BLOODY AND IM ALL FOR GREAT AND BLOODY!!!! ALSO YUURI LOOKS GREAT i mean so does everyone else but YUURI!!! I LOVE HOW YOU DRAW YUURI. Sorry, its just that i love yuuri and the way you draw him makes my heart speed up. Anywaaayyyy, I'm really excited to see how Inferno's story will progress. I cant wait!. Keep up the good work!

THANK YOU!! AND YEAH I WARNED YOU GUYS IT’D BE BLOODY. LIKE REALLY BLOODY AND VIOLENT. Also I’m glad you like my Yuuri, I ah, have a very heavy bias towards him (and Phichit) and EVERY character will get their badass moments in this AU but um, priorities LOL

Thanks so much and I hope I can get out the next parts soon! ;A; The next Inferno update will probably be a costume spread for Yuuri, for my own reference but also for all those people who’ve said they wanted to do fanart/cosplay ^ ^; I hope you guys can tell why I asked people to hold off until I actually showed people the costume, since I DO have full costumes for everyone ^v^)b
