Megumi x Chubby! Streamer Part 2

A/N: I'm so sorry I kept yall waiting for part two, college life was kicking my butt but (double butt) please enjoy bae🫶🏽

It wasn’t even a full 24 hours and you were trending on Twitter overnight. You saw that you had gained at least half a million subscribers on all of your platforms, not to mention how you were tagged in many videos about Megumi. Ignoring your growing fame, you opened your Twitter page and saw the poll that you had uploaded last night to see that over 95% of voters wanted you to meet your favorite streamer. You were shocked by how many people were so engrossed with your little crush that it caused you to laugh.

“Wow, it’s 10 AM and Twitter is losing their mind,” You mumbled to yourself.

You knew that you were not exactly ready to meet Megs in person because you already know with no established meeting of any kind is just bound to cause an awkward interaction. You thought about another solution while you handled the business portion of your day, responding to emails and accepting sponsors. While answering after answering an email from an Indie horror game creator, you stumbled upon a message in your inbox that you were not expecting. The sender read Megumi Fushiguro with the subject topic being “possible collab?”. You felt your heart drop to your stomach. The feeling of the world closing in on you was prevalent in this moment. Your YouTube crush….WANTS TO COLLAB?! You took the time to thank your fans in your head as you read the email, trying to contain your need to burst into tears of joy. The email reads:

Dear Y/N,

I’m pleased to see that our fans are interested in us growing a bond with each other. I, as well, was interested in you and your content so I wanted to ask if you were interested if you would like to do a video together. Let me know your answer and please follow up with ideas. Thank you for your time!

Sincerely,

Megumi Fushiguro

You tried your hardest to not squeal in excitement. You read the entire email all over again, just imagining it in his voice and you gushed about how cute he would probably sound trying to be serious. You took a moment to respond, gather your thoughts and try to be as professional as possible.

Dear Mr. Fushiguro,

Sorry for being so formal, but I would love to do a collab with you! I’m sorry for the social media uproar, I bet you're not used to THIS kind of attention. I would like to play “It Takes Two” since it’s more of a duo game anyways. If you could tell me a day that is good with you, I can clear my schedule. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Y/N

You flopped on your bed and kicked your feet giddily for a split second. You looked at your clock and decided to do an early morning stream to thank your audience and tell them your surprise (you couldn’t wait because you would have tweeted that you're doing a video with your crush). Getting back into influencer mode, you started setting up your lighting for your stream as the intermission screen was on for your viewers so they couldn’t see you and your nervous jitters. Sitting down, you took a quick breather before clicking your fans over to see your facecam.

“Hi guys! There’s about 5,000 of you guys here. I know I just saw you guys yesterday but I missed you all! Welcome back, welcome back. As you can tell by the title of this stream, I have a special announcement for all of you! Let’s allow a few more people to come in and I will make my announcement.

While you and your fans waited, you said hello to a few people, some asked you how your morning has been so far. Others asked about your Youtube content and you replied holding a finger over your lips, smiling. After ten minutes of friendly chatting, you decided to drop the bomb.

You began, “Before I tell you my announcement, I just wanted to thank you guys for even making this possible. For all your hashtags and tweets to bring attention to little ole me, I thank you all. Sooo, yo get to the point for you guys… I am currently working on collabing with Megs and I can’t wait to start filming for it!”

You saw your chat blow up with “Let’s go” or “you finna get your manz” and all you could do was giggle at how supportive your fans were.

“Guys, relax. All we are doing is playing a game and no, you won’t find out until I release the video.”

You got an email notification and saw that it was from Megumi and it said: “Open it on stream ;)”. Your mouth dropped open and you looked at your webcam.

“Megs wants you guys to see his recent email.”

Your chat was going crazy, asking if you read it yet or just straight up telling you to read it.

“No, I have not read the email yet. We can all read it together.”

You shared your screen with your chat and began reading the email to them. It reads:

Y/N, I’m pleased to work and get closer to you in the future. When you’re done with your stream, send me an email with your number so I can call you.

~Megs

All you could do was scream in the mic while your fans spammed W’s in the chat, probably having the same reaction as you.

--------------------------------------------------------

Nobara smiled hard at the screen watching your priceless reaction.

She said, “My god, Yuji, I think you made this girl lose her mind over Megumi. Gosh, she’s so cute.”

Behind her, Megumi had Yuji in a chokehold while Yuji tried to wiggle out of his grasp.

“Look, Megumi,” Yuji said, “She’s happy about the email and you’re overreacting! Don’t get mad at me because I tried to add a little rizz to your emails.”

Megumi released Yuji, “ I was trying to be professional and you-”. Megumi’s face was turned by Yuji, forcing him to continue to look at your blushing face on stream as you spoke highly about him with a smile on your face, admiring your chubby face radiating on his big screen. He slapped Yuji’s hands away and walked towards his kitchen, blushing.

Nobara high-fived Yuji and whispered, “Good job, Cupid!”

Train Nights - Lester Papadopoulos x Reader

I decided to put my Wattpad fanfics on Tumblr so that if someone doesn't have wattpad they can still see them, also I'm hoping this gives me more motivation to write more :) Thanks if your deciding to read this. (also side note - I have just copied and pasted the entire thing, but this is my own writing, also my wattpad account is "funnyp1".

Little note from me first: So I like the idea of them being on a quest and y/n is sleeping and looks cold so Lester gives her his jacket - also I'll be having a few of these be set on a train and most of them at night but I might change that but anyways let's take a moment and ignore the fact that apollo is REALLY old and this might not at all be in character for ANY of the characters because I am not a good writer but let's give this a try anyways also tysm for reading 😘 <3

Lester POV:

It was getting late and we were still on this insufferable quest. Why Zeus? Why? The train ride was going to last overnight but I didn't think I would be able to sleep at all, I was pondering my existence while looking out the window when I felt a weight on my shoulder, I was about to lash out at whoever interrupted my divine thoughts and curse them for eternity. If I was still a god I could smite them in seconds, but when I turned I was surprised to see y/n leaning against me asleep, I felt the blush on my face as I studied the way her lips moved to puff out the air she breathed in through her nose and how her eyelashes fluttered gently. Did she always have that little freckle? and how were her lips so perfect? I really want to kiss her. Should I kiss her? I was honestly considering it before Meg interrupted my daydreaming, Is it daydreaming if it's at night? Never mind that. "You're staring" Meg stated, "I am not!" I said blushing fiercely and looking away "You totally like her" she pestered "Shut up, she could hear you!" I replied, "Come on, just admit it" "I don't have to admit anything I am a god" She looked me up and down humored by my mortal appearance and said "Sure, well I'm going to try to get some sleep, don't do anything stupid lover boy" She slouched down and put her feet up on the seat in front of her, I would have to teach her a lesson on manners once I was back to my divine self, her loud snores let me know that she was in fact asleep. 

It wasn't until a few minutes later that my thoughts were once again interrupted this time by y/n shivering in her sleep, I could feel her shaking against my shoulder and hear her teeth chattering, her once peaceful expression turned someone sour but beautiful nonetheless I thought to myself. It pained me to see her so distraught so I removed my jacket being careful not to wake her and laid it over her tucking the edges around her, I put my arm around her holding her close, and leaned my head on hers as I drifted into sleep, knowing that we were both safe and warm. 

Y/N POV: (This is her pov from the time of Lester's) 

I stared forward as time passed on the train, It was getting later and I could feel my eyelids getting heavy, I yawned, and before I fell asleep I remember leaning over and resting my head on something soft, but before I could further investigate, I was swept into a dream. (I'm so sorry I can't come up with a dream so plz just imagine your typical horrifying demigod dream) I was about to be awoken by the cold when I felt a warmth and an arm around me, I smiled at the feeling and fell back to sleep, but this time I had no dreams or nightmares. It was the first peaceful sleep I had in a long time, I felt myself moving as near to the warmth as I could and the grip around me tightened pulling me closer.  

I woke up feeling the sun shining through the window, I could hear someone talking and once I adjusted my vision I saw Meg slouching in the seat on my left, she seemed annoyed with whatever Lester had said, but that was not out of the ordinary. That's when I noticed that Lester had his arm around me and his jacket was over me like a blanket, I blushed a little and moved my head off of his shoulder to face him, "Oh, you're awake" he said. I nodded and then realized that his arm was still around me and we were rather close, he seemed to notice too and became extremely flustered as he removed his arm and spoke "Sorry" "It's ok" I replied taking his jacket off me, and handing it to him "here" he quickly grabbed it and tried to hide the blush on his face. "How did you sleep?" he asked "Better than usually" was the best answer I could give, "how about you?" "Surprisingly no nightmares" he responded smiling, I smiled back at him.

Lester POV:

Wow, she looks so beautiful. Should I kiss her?  I was trying to drown out the thoughts in my head but I couldn't ignore it, go for it, Lester! I went for it. I sent a silent prayer to anyone who was listening that she felt the same and wouldn't hit me, I looked into her eyes, then down to her lips, and back to her eyes, and then I quickly leaned over and pecked her lips. When I pulled back I was sure my face was as red as a tomato, I looked at y/n and her face was somewhat pink she looked shocked but also maybe happy? Let's hope she's happy. That little kiss wasn't enough for me though, I took another chance and grabbed the sides of her face gently and quickly brought it to mine, I could feel the fireworks go off as our lips met, she was paralyzed with confusion at first but soon kissed back. I knew in that moment that no matter what happens on this quest as long as I'm with y/n I'll be okay.

Sorry that this one kind of ended weirdly, I hope u enjoyed it though! 😁 (characters belong to Rick)

The Windows To My Soul [2]

pairing: OT8 x fem! reader

genre: soulmates, angst, fluff, crack

warnings: Please read the 'Summary' of this series, all are listed there!

word count: ~2.3k

summary: The two aussies chat with you as some distraction, although anxiety seeps through once you reach their hotel, a strange pain blooming in your ribcage.

↳ Masterlist ↳ Next chapter ↳ Previous chapter

All rights reserved. Please do not steal, repost or feed my work into AI. Thank you!

"So, Eevee, d’ya live around here?" - Chan asked, as if sensing my derailing thoughts and the distraction I desperately needed. "Haha, naur, Iiii actually come from a really small european country. Very far away from here." "Oh? You're not japanese? You spoke it well, I thought… Anyways, I've always wanted to visit more countries there! Which one are you from?"

I looked at their expecting expressions and desperately held my tongue, trying not to say that BTS actually knew the capital of my country, surprisingly.

"Eh, you wouldn't know anyway, don't worry about it." "Ahw, bummer. Then can ya talk in your mother language for a bit?" - Felix asked with puppy eyes, my heart unable to say no as I lightly chuckled. "Alright, but what should I say?" "How about… Imma catch them all!"

I immediately snorted, slightly shaking my head at the pokemon reference. I looked at Chan to see if he minded, but he simply shook his head with crescent-shaped eyes.

"Alright, here goes. Szerezd meg hát mind!"

Yeah, they looked really fucking confused at me, causing me to burst out in laughter.

"I told you you wouldn't know it!" "I-, well, ya were right, I have not heard that language before." "Neither have I, it sounds weird. Chris, now ya say something, c'mon!"

And for the next few minutes they kept giving me phrases and words, just so I could translate them to my native language. Even chat was confused, none of them getting it right. But they tried, language names flying across the poor phone's screen at a fast pace.

They stopped eventually, the boys giving me some space and talking to the chat in korean -i was grateful for that-, later on saying goodbye to STAY as well. I waved along with them, careful not to have my face seen. It was tiring, to constantly keep it in my mind and position myself accordingly, because I was taller than both the boys and they were the ones holding the phone. So I had to tilt my head slightly downwards at all times, well, if I wanted to remain anonymous that is. And I sure fucking wanted to.

"Alright, we're not far from the hotel now."

Ah, so we had walked so much already. I glanced back subtly out of instinct, checking if the other man -probably their bodyguard or a manager- was still there. Sure enough, he was, positioned just right so he was never in the range of their camera. 

Looking back in front of me after walking for a good 15 minutes or more, I was met with a tall building, most probably a hotel, based on the aesthetic and glowing signs.

I took a deeper breath as I looked up at it, noticing a deep, dull pain in my chest. Thinking I probably fell on it or that my body was just doing its usual randomly hurting thing, I ignored it, sadly quite familiar with the art of pushing away slight pain to the back of my mind.

The boys -and it felt weird to think of them like that so casually- stepped in, Chan holding the door open for me as they started chatting in english. A notion that warmed my heart and calmed my fried nerves, even if only slightly.

They involved me in their chatter a few times, but the anxiety of meeting new people -fucking idols at that- started catching up to me, making me retreat back to my shell and become even quieter than usual. I couldn't help it, I was not a socially well-versed person. Maybe that was why I loved Jisung so much. Birds of a feather and all that.

As if sensing my anxiety, they stopped near a door -probably theirs- and turned around, facing me, who just followed them silently, even in and out of the elevator. I zoned out for the ride, body on mindless auto-pilot.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay. They're all friendly and great people, if not too loud. But I'll ask them to take it back a notch today for ya, ‘kay?" - Chan gently said, his words but a quiet whisper. "Yeah, it'll be fine. You're safe here, nobody's gonna do anything to you. Maybe only make ya laugh at bad jokes." -Felix added in with a slight curve of his lips, and I couldn't help but quietly snort at that.

Their smiles both widened in response, expressions turning even more gentle, if that was even somehow possible.

One thing I had caught though was that through the whole thing, Felix's hands were awkwardly moving a bit, hovering in the air sometimes, as if he wanted to grasp onto something, but was unsure about it. Being a STAY, I knew some things about him, like how physically affectionate he was and how it was one of his biggest languages of affection. Slowly putting two and two together, I finally realised he had wanted to touch my hand that wasn't tucked away in my jacket's pocket, unsure if it would grant me comfort or do the exact opposite.

Smiling gently under my scarf, I nodded at them -causing my cap's ears to move, i could see how they glanced at it in amusement-, indicating that I was okay and as ready as I could ever be.

They nodded as well, turning around and going through the door. Glancing back once more, I found no one in the corridor besides us, the bodyguard having left us silently sometime. I furrowed my brows at that, unsure how I hadn’t noticed it happening.

A deep voice calling out to me snapped me back to reality, Felix's head peeking out the doorway to glance at me, worry dancing on his features. I quickly apologised quietly and strode towards him, my legs halting once I reached their doorway.

I felt like an intruder.

It didn't feel right to just go into their hotel room, especially when I knew who they were, without them knowing about it.

I felt guilty, and like a horrible burden.

My unsure hand found Felix's hoodie, as if I was a child grasping onto their parents' clothing. It immediately grabbed his attention, his body now fully standing before me with his attention devoted solely to me.

I didn't deserve it.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. Ya don't have to meet them all now, or at all, we can work around it, if that makes ya feel better." - his deep voice soothed me, hushing my nervous inner child.

I gently shook my head, not wanting to cause them even more problems by having them dance around me.

"I just… I'm not the most social person, sorry. I just don't want to be a bother to you guys, not even more after all you’ve done already." - I whispered out, afraid of voicing my thoughts as I just looked at the ground, the shiny tiles now looking way more interesting than anything else around me.

His hands found mine, gently squeezing it in comfort before he spoke once more.

"Ya really aren't a bother, trust me. And me and the guys can carry the conversation for you, ya don't even have to join it if ya don't wanna."

I looked down into his warm eyes, finding their shine comforting and genuine.

Gosh, he really was sunshine incarnate.

"You remind me of one of my friends, he has social anxiety too. So don't worry, the guys will understand, really." - he smiled at me before he turned around, making me melt at his care.

I could merely nod and let him guide me into the room at last, Chan most probably wondering where we'd been for so long. But no, there was no sign of him, only his voice could be heard from somewhere deeper in the place.

Felix told me where I could put my jacket and lil backpack after I had taken my boots off, his petite form quickly disappearing from my sight.

I just stood there in my full outfit -minus the boots-, blinking at the place where he had been not even a second ago.

How the fuck did he just do that? Was I so out of it, or did he turn into Sonic the hedgehog in front of my very eyes?

Before I could get back on track and actually get my now too warm jacket off -i was starting to sweat at that point, both from the heat and nervousness-, that little, now maskless menace appeared before me with the baby bread in tow.

"Oh my god!" - Jeongin exclaimed once he had laid eyes on me, his eyes roaming my form before settling on the long ears of my Eevee cap. "Right? So cute!"

They started gushing about it in korean, the little gamers. I just watched them for a bit, before getting an idea.

Taking my cap off and carding a hand through my now very messy hair -although the motion never truly tamed it-, I offered the cap up in their direction after shaking it out a bit. They quieted down, asking if they really could take it in a hushed tone, as if they didn't believe me and my actions. Of course I nodded once again, watching as their smiles lit up their whole faces.

They were like little kids, I swear. And I was younger than them, even if not by a lot, but still…

Either way, I had finally torn my eyes away from the two and took my bag, jacket and scarf off as I was turned away from them, facing the closed front door. I quickly crouched down and searched around in my bag, taking out and putting on a regular, blue hospital facemask I had stashed in there.

No way in hell was I comfortable sitting amidst all those pretty people with my face, even though I had makeup on.

Being done, I stood up and turned around, closing my eyes as I ruffled up my long hair and tried to tame it into its usual place. Amidst that, I simply heard a 'Woah', my eyes popping open and drawn towards the slightly slack-faced Felix. I raised an eyebrow at him, not understanding his behaviour.

"Just, uh, that's quite a vibe change ya got there."

Looking down, I realised what he had meant. Because compared to my quite cute Eevee outfit, I now had all black, form hugging clothes on with almost no skin showing. The accessories I had on were either black or silver too, usually with chains or other 'edgy' motifs on them as well.

Yeah, not exactly cute, as one would say.

But compared to my dark looks, I merely sheepishly rubbed at my nape and looked away, slightly shrugging my shoulders. I felt a bit bad for giving a deceiving first impression, if that made sense, because I never really dressed cutesy and girly, no matter what anyone else wanted or told me it looked good on me.

They both snorted at that, muttering something in korean, before Felix gently took my hand and started dragging me away. Our destination was most probably where the others had gathered, based on how their voices got louder and louder with each step. But throughout our walk, Felix's hold was gentle, something I could easily break free from if I felt the need arise. I couldn't help the lil appreciative squeeze of his hand I had sent him for that.

Entering the living room -because that was the most fitting title i could find for it-, my eyes met with the entire cast of Stray Kids -minus the two accompanying me-, all huddled together on the giant, L-shaped couch. Their heads snapped up to me when Felix announced our presence and released my hand, my form turning rigid in response. Chan -with no mask on- was searching for my gaze, smiling at me once I’d met his eyes.

It didn't help as much as it could have.

They spoke about something in korean, probably introducing me, based on the word Eevee I’d heard and how Felix gestured towards me. I deeply bowed at them, my hands clutched together in front of my form nervously as I tried not to think about how much I wanted to just straight up disappear into the surface of the planet.

The aussies rushed to say I didn't need to be so formal, the others probably saying the same in korean as they raised their hands in protest. Some even almost stood up from their seats.

Great fucking going me, I made them uncomfortable on our first meeting, wonderful.

After each member introduced themselves, some with more sentences and some with less, they gestured for me to sit down. But that meant choosing a seat, and I felt uncomfortable doing that. I didn't want to sit too close for both of our sakes, but I also couldn't sit too far, they would think I hated them or something.

Dear god, why was this so hard? Stupid anxiety.

Eventually, I sat down near one end of the couch, while Jeongin and Felix attacked the already sitting members for cuddles. Mostly Felix, Jeongin just wanted to be a menace and fuck around.

I awkwardly sat there, watching them interact as I kept glancing around the room, from the ground to each member. Minho was intently staring at me, probably analysing if I was a threat or not, but nobody really knew what was truly going on inside his head. So I simply glanced away, fighting with my rising nervousness and that pain in my chest.

Gods, it was becoming worse, did I land on a rib or something?

RAMBLE/INFODUMP INCOMING

I just realized the MegOP ship is kinda XZero ship coded to us, except it's way more angsty and tragic.

If you're a Megaman fan as well as a Transformers fan, you will know EXACTLY where we're going with this. Fandom bleeding here, but I love my tragic ships being mentioned here and let us tell you WHY.

XZero is two bots, one from Dr Light and one from Dr Wily, and being best friends. Despite the fact that they had a history of wars a century prior, they didn't initially know and they possibly don't care. Their bond goes as far as staying together, no matter what separates them, especially having fallouts in X2 and X5, they always stay together. No matter what. And even in the Zero series following after, they still have the bond they shared, despite the fact Zero lost his memories A SECOND TIME, X still believed in him and Zero realizes how much they meant when fighting for peace.

NOW MEGOP ON THE OTHER HAND!! I'LL FINALLY GET TO THAT-

In my years of seeing the ship in the fandom, esp seeing TFs ONE (we won't spoil it, pls go watch it), their bond is kinda similar. Except they didn't have a history of wars behind them and they can look past that. No. They just met, bonded and started their own history. Sure, they can look past that if they tried for the history of their battles they fight against each other for, but more often than not, they will always be enemies.

No matter where Megs and Prime are, they meet, form a connection as friends (and possibly boyfriends if you're willing to go the ship route, which, with some of us, let's be real here WE WILL LMAO), and then something spirals into their differences of what peace is for their home planet of Cybertron.

I still won't spoil it, but TF ONE MMMMMMMMM they got some SHIT going on, and we feel it's indeed a love letter to being friends to lovers to enemies, and the spiral happens of them still being lovers... but still being enemies in the end. No matter what route they go down, no matter what yearning they have for each other to be together again, THEY ALWAYS END UP BACK TO SQUARE ONE BEING ENEMIES AGAIN AND THE CYCLE REPEATS!!

We're sure there's still a couple timelines where they can actually BE together again, especially in the comics where Megatron's redemption arc is a thing (WHICH MAKES US HAPPY THANKS LMAO), but most times, again they would go back to being enemies. Prime always wanting to reach a better conclusion and does more the yearning than Megs does, but still, that cycle will always repeat in most timelines. At least, that's how we see it.

IT'S ALWAYS THE TRAGIC ROBOTS!! ALWAYS!! WTF LMAO WE'RE IN AN ENDLESS LOOP OF TRAGEDY LOL

anyway, ramble over, thank you for reading our rambles haha!!

[feyhunter78]

Hi dear Meg! I'm so glad I found someone who writes for TROP ♡

I truly love elrond, this sweet boi, and really enjoyed your writings for him (: at first I was quite careful since I see lotr!elrond (almost) entirely as a dad and not as a romantic option, mostly because if him, Celebrían and their children but honestly they seemed to have killed off Celeborn so... no Celebrían? XD

Anyways, it may surprise you but I wanted to ask, if you're writing for Gil-Gaddy too? Uhhh, I already loved him in lotr and god forbid me from telling anyone about my tiny crush on Mark Ferguson haha XD

If yed, I'd love to ask for a Gil-Galad x fem!oc 💕 I'm quite the sucker for opposite looking couples, so oc with ash blonde/silver hair? And size difference? Hod I love tall men haha

Maybe she's the daughter of oropher, visiting Lindon.

And... yeah... I wouldn't be mad (absolutely not) if you include some smut? Intense and passionate is my favorite if someone asks hehe

Much love to you ♡

Maddie

Maddie!!! Thank you so much for this request! I must admit I don't know Gil-galad's character really well, but I tried my best! I've got a short but sweet married couple facing the in laws fic for you! As for smut, since I don't know his character I didn't add any, but I recommend the wonderful @starlady66 who has a more than a few Gil-galad smuts on her blog!!!!

The Queen's Father

You opened your eyes, humming contently as lithe fingers combed through your ashen hair.

“My love, we must meet the others for breakfast.” Gil-galad’s steady voice, raspy from sleep, filled your ear as he pressed a kiss to your cheek.

“You are the High-King, you can miss a breakfast.” You groaned, throwing an arm over your eyes.

He chuckled, the sound deep and rich, vibrating in your bones. “Yes, but your father will be there, and I fear he still looks upon me with disfavor.”

You removed your arm and sat up, fixing your husband with an annoyed look. “My father is a fool if he is still upset that we married, his daughter is queen, what more could he want?”

You weren’t annoyed with Gil-galad, never with him, but with your father, who was still upset you hadn’t married the son of his closest friend.

Gil-galad kissed your temple. “I do not know, but we shall face his ire together.”

You sighed and slipped from your bed, dressing quickly and smiling at your husband in the mirror. He always towered over you, it made you feel safe and protected.

You took his hand and pressed it to your lips after he placed your circlet upon your head. “I will never let you face him alone.”

You strode hand in hand down to breakfast, where your father was waiting, along with a few other elflords and ladies. You greeted your father, then took your seat next to your husband.

As everyone began eating, you started to relax. Perhaps your father would not make a scene this morning.

“Gil-galad, I must ask you, why does my daughter look so exhausted. Are you running her ragged because you cannot perform your duties without the aid of others?”

You all but slammed down your drink and leveled a glare at your father.

Your husband was much calmer. “Perhaps y/n seems so tired because she works so diligently in her own duties as queen.” He took a sip of his drink. “Though I do not see this exhaustion, she looks as radiant as the day we married.”

“Thank you, dear husband.” You said, smiling at him, and intertwining your fingers with his. “Gil-galad is right, Ada, I have tired myself out in service of our people.”

Your father grumbled but backed off, and Gil-galad gave you a soft smile.

“How is Ambe? I noticed she did not make the trip with you.”

“Your ambe is well, she was preoccupied with the birth of your niece.”

“A girl, how lovely.” You said, a bright smile on your face. You would have to send your brother’s family a gift of congratulations soon.

“We shall send a gift, for the child and her mother, soon.” Your husband declared, reading your mind.

Your father’s expression softened. “That would be most welcomed.”

Breakfast was cleared, and you promised your father you would walk with him.

“I will return as soon as I see him to his quarters.” You promised your husband, going up on your toes to kiss him.

He chuckled and bent down, so you could reach him, and connected your lips.

Kissing Gil-galad was always a breathtaking experience, his skilled lips and pleasant taste always brought heat to your face and caused your heart to race. He pressed a soft kiss to the corner of your lip before righting your circlet and releasing you to your father.

[highwayorgantrade]

okay,,, i have some explaining to do.

i got very very insecure about my writing and small talents in general, mostly because,,, like i got a job doing something actually grown up. i got fired right before the temp period would expire and i would be hired full-time, so the company could hire back someone who was on leave. tbh i'm a sensitive bitch and this destroyed all self-confidence i had in myself (i do have another full-time job and i am earning income, please do not worry.)

i got messed up about my writing because i knew something was wrong, but i couldn't put my finger on it. i read a LOT of spicy books and i think i pinpointed my issue. hopefully.

i got an anon asking for more carlisle stuff, and anon if you're reading this - you're why i'm writing this. thank you so much for still thinking of me even after such a long break. i am still horny on main for carlisle. anyway, i'm housesitting for a very very dear friend right now (another amazing writer, @quizzyisdone, i hope you're having the most fun ever) and it's given me a lot of time to think, and here's what i came up with.

you are so unconditionally loved. you, reading this. you are unconditionally loved. it might seem right now that nothing is going right and the world is against you, and it will always be this way, it will always be cyclical. i don't know you, but (and believe me when I say this) i do love you. it doesn't matter. whatever reason you're thinking of as to why i don't - it doesn't matter. accept the love i am giving you and pass it on. that is your purpose, that is the reason we are all here. to love and be loved.

some new things coming soon.

i love you all, and remember: watching The Meg will not cure your fear of the ocean, no matter how much you love horror movies. it will actually make it worse.

So it begins (Halloweek 2023)

A/N: I'll be expecting lots of comments and likes on this or we won't post the rest you've been warned -Danny Words: 1,167 Warnings: This ofc follows our Halloweek timeline therefore everyone is of age but it's all platonic dw

next >

Apollo is worried.

Meg asked him to deliver the invites for this year's Halloween party to all of their friends, and he thought it would take two, maybe five seconds to visit everyone. He was wrong.

Now that he's a god again, he's able to visit everyone at the same time, but since we don't have the power to read all of the interactions at once, let's start with the ones at Camp Jupiter.

Apollo—dressed as Lester—knocked on Hazel's front door and waited. Now, time's a bit funky when you're a god, so he could be wrong, but he kind of felt like it took way too long for Hazel to show up and open up.

When she did, she looked like she'd spent the whole month hybernating.

"Lester," her expression changed right away, and she tried to reach for her sword except she didn't have it at the moment. "What is it? What happened?"

"Greetings, Praetor!" Lester smiled, handing her a bright orange envelope. "You are cordially invited to Meg's Halloween party! Costumes required, drinks are optional."

Hazel blinked, her mouth forming a silent "O" when he explained the reason of his visit.

"Anyway, the invite's for you and Frank, obviously, we're not wasting paper if you guys are coming together anyway," Lester paused and studied her looks. "You okay?"

"Y-Yeah!" She fixed her posture. "Sorry, I was taking a nap so..."

"Got it, got it," Lester grinned. "Well, see you at the party!"

Hazel tried not to look as freaked out as she felt, she nodded and smiled. "Sure! See ya!"

Next up was Jason. He opened right away, but he looked just as tired as Hazel. When he saw Lester at the doorway he frowned.

"This is the worst kind of deja vu," he muttered.

"Good to see you too!" Lester replied happily, though he was starting to sense that something wasn't quite right with his friends. He handed Jason the envelope. "Party at Meg's, costumes, food, you know the drill."

Jason took the invitation and stared at it for a little too long, Lester cleared his throat to get his attention.

"Have we misspelled Jason, or...?"

The boy shook his head and tried for a smile, but he was a terrible liar. "No it's fine, I was er... just thinking about some stuff I gotta do before I leave for the party."

"Busy man, aren't you, little brother?" Lester patted his shoulder proudly.

"Please don't ever call me that."

"I'll think about it," He winked at him.

Since Grover offered to take the invite to Percy and Annabeth the last time he'd visited Meg, Lester's next visit was to Piper.

This time he made sure not to show up at an inconvenient time, which meant he showed up when she was just coming back from her last class of the day.

Piper was so done with everything that she didn't even panic when she spotted Lester on her bed. She nudge him to the side and fell face-first on the mattress.

"What?" She asked against her pillow.

Lester looked at her with worry. "Am I missing something? All of you look really tired, is there a new war going on?"

"Yeah, it's called midterms," Piper groaned. "Why are you visiting us?"

Lester placed her invitation on the pillow. "Halloween is this weekend."

The girl lifted herself up abruptly and seized the envelope. "Crap," she stated.

Lester started to feel anxious. Had everyone forgotten? They weren't thinking about ditching Meg's party, right? That would suck.

"I take that none of you remembered?"

Piper's face was easy to read. "No, no! Don't worry, I'll be there."

Lester didn't want to pressure anyone, but he also didn't want Meg to get hurt. "Well, if you need any help you can call anytime."

Piper smiled and placed the invitation on her nightstand. "Thanks, man."

"Yeah," he got up to leave. "Take your nap."

Leo was the only one so far that looked the same as always. He was fixing a bike on the rooftop of the waystation, and when Lester showed up, he seemed happy to see him.

"Hey, man!" The young man got up and grabbed a dirty cloth to sort of clean up before shaking Lester's hand. "What's up?"

"Halloween party at Meg's," Lester handed him his invite.

"Oh, right!" Leo seized the envelope and read it briefly. "Cool, yeah," he looked up and smiled. "You guys need help with the decorations or something?"

"Nah, the dryads and satyrs took over," Lester said.

Leo raised a brow. "Really? And they did a good job?"

"Hey, don't use that haughty tone, they are experts at parties!"

"Alright, fine!" Leo raised his hands in surrender. "Well, yeah I'll be there. You told everyone else yet?"

"Yeah, I'm on it," Lester tilted his head, paying attention to the other interactions. "They don't seem excited this year."

Leo grinned knowingly. Truth be told, he was freaking out a little as well, but he was good at hiding that sort of stuff. Time had gone by way too fast this year, he hadn't even realized it was October.

"We're all adults now, man, stuff get in the way, but we'll be there no matter what."

"Yeah," Lester sighed, humans had the bad habit of aging too quickly.

Nico and Y/N were a whole other story. They were together on the rec room, and when Lester showed up Nico welcomed him with a crooked smile.

"About time! We were starting to wonder if Meg had forgotten."

Lester pulled out the two orange invitations and smiled. "Never!"

"Nice!" Y/N examined the piece of paper with excitement. "Can't wait! It took Cal like a whole week to finish my costume, it's gonna be amazing."

"Meg said she was cool with me summoning a few ghosts to act as waiters for her party," Nico grinned, pushing the letter on his pocket. "It's going to be awesome."

"Are you taking the cocoa puffs with you?" Y/N asked with curiosity.

"Of course," Nico snorted. "Already have their costumes planned out."

"Aww, that's cute," Lester beamed. "I'm glad you two didn't forget, everyone else seems... sort of dead."

Y/N frowned. "What do you mean?"

Lester shrugged. "Doesn't look like they're feeling it this year, Piper mentioned some midterms, whatever that means..."

Nico and Y/N shared a look, but whatever they were thinking, they didn't mention it to Lester.

"You probably caught them in a bad moment," Nico brushed it off.

"Yeah, we'll be having our monthly meeting tomorrow, I'm sure everyone will want to talk about how excited they are about the party."

Lester cheered up at this. "Yeah, that's probably it! Well, see you guys this weekend!"

"Bye, Lester!"

"See you."

The god vanished and left the two demigods alone. Y/N looked at Nico and scowled.

"They definitely forgot."

"Definitely," Nico smirked and fell back on the couch, eating a fistful of popcorn. "Can't wait for tomorrow's meeting."

[riosnecktattoo]

hello!! i just finished reading your magnum opus (What Spring Does with the Cherry Trees) and i love love loved it! i cannot stop thinking about the cozy little universe you created…and like not to be greedy after reading a novel-length fic you poured your blood, sweat, and tears into writing…but i’m just SAYING that a Rio POV fic in that universe would bring me much joy…

but anyway you’re such a great storyteller and i just wanted to yell it at you a little more!! 💗💗💗

MEG

made me insanely happy to see your name pop up and to see that you were reading/enjoying Cherry Trees THANK YOU! 🥹🥰💜 yell at me all you like it makes me cheesy grin

AND I actually got an anon a lil while ago asking what I think their first date woulda been and the reason I haven't answered it yet is cause I wanted to answer it with a little ficlet of the date from Rio's pov mayhaps. I'm also tinkering with the idea of a ficlet of the Super Bowl night from his pov. So yeah hopefully I can whip something up 👀 I miss writing Rio pov so bad!

you're soooooo sweet I'm virtually hugging you 💜

[a-reader-and-a-writer]

Hello darling,

I would absolutely read an Eliot Spencer story! I mean I love everything you write anyway so...

I would love it if you told me about any of the fics you're working on for the event.

😘❤️

Meg, my amazing friend and constant supporter 💗, thank you so much for the ask and kind words.

Especially since this is a whump-related event, Eliot would be so perfect for it! And this Leverage rewatch definitely has my mind cooking up a few ideas, so there is a very good chance I will end up having at least one day with him. And knowing you are interested makes that even more likely! 💕

Right now, most of my ideas are for TGM characters (specifically Hangman, Rooster, and even Maverick), but I also have a few related to the Batfamily (Dick, Jason, and my Batmom series), Rhett Abbott, and Bucky Barnes. And while I don't have prompts for them yet, I'd love to write something for Frank Castle, Matt Murdock, or any of the Joel Kinnaman characters I write for.

The three I'm most excited so far are:

For What You've Done (Past Reader x Hangman; Current Reader x Rooster):

A terrible accident leaves you mourning the loss of your boyfriend and Rooster his wingman. Drawn together by your grief, a romance begins to blossom between the two of you as you each try to heal and move on. However, Rooster is about to discover that things aren't always what they appear and people will go to any extremes for the ones they love.

Note: this is the one I was referencing in this post and things are going to get a little dark....

Drink with Me: (Vampire!Reader x Hangman):

In the middle of a vampire apocalypse, everyone knows that no one is safe. And yet, nothing could have prepared Jake for watching the love of his life torn apart by a swarm right before his eyes. So he is in for the shock of his life when you turn up two years later, standing before him as one of the monsters he's sworn to destroy. And though you still seem like the old you, you both know this can only end one way....

In the Eye of the Hurricane: (Reader x Hangman):

When a distant relative you haven't talked to in years dies and leaves you everything, you aren't sure what to do. You haven't visited his ranch since you were a kid and have no idea how to run one. Luckily, the lead ranch hand has agreed to stay on and help until you can sell the place....if only he weren't an aloof jerk who barely looks at you, let alone holds a conversation. But when a hurricane sweeps through town and threatens to destroy all you now own, secrets are revealed and your past suddenly becomes your present.

Note: This one is HIGHLY influenced by Glen in the Twisters trailer 😅 Especially the shot of him in the white t-shirt and cowboy hat in the rain.

[ohyespotatous]

Nisa!! how are you? this is just me popping in to give you a boop 💙 I saw your recent post, so glad you've been feeling better, I hope you're completely recovered soon!!

I also wanted to ask, what are some of your fav pieces of literature? I'd love to hear about a book or even just a few lines that have changed your life <3

hope you've been doing well!! lots of love ^=^

Oh my god, Meg!!! Hi~ *boop back 😻

I'm recovered now! Well, I might never fully recover; it's like my regular guest now haha. But I'm in a good state right now! And I'll try my best to keep fit for a long time :) Thanks for checking up on me! How about you? I hope you're happy and healthy always! Good luck with your internship and masters and everything!! 💪❤

Also, thank you for asking about my fav pieces of literature! This is my favorite topic to talk about. So... Uhm.. where do I start? :v

First, it's not easy to discuss literature without separating the works and the authors. Like other types of art, despite their marvelous works, sometimes the artists are not the best people. There's this prose that's close to my heart, but it was written by a problematic author, so it doesn't feel right to discuss it :(

But, if we talk about literature that changed my life, I think I should pay tribute to one of the first books I read. They inspired me to study hard and pursue my dream. It's called The Rainbow Troops by Andrea Hirata. I read it when I was 13 or 14. 

It's about the journey of ten motley students from a tiny elementary school in a rural area trying to pursue their dreams; and their two teachers. One of the teachers calls them the Rainbow Troops because they love to stare at the sky after rain and admire the magnificence of the rainbow.  

These students come from poverty-stricken families, and their school constantly faces threats of closure due to government officials, greedy corporations, natural disasters, and the lack of students' self-confidence. For most of us, school might be a struggle. However, for them, access to education is a luxury. One of the smartest students has to ride his bicycle 40 kilometers over a red gravel road to school daily. His sandals—made of car tires—burnt from pedaling for so long. 

I kept the money carefully in my pocket and never let go of it. Suddenly everyone looked like a thief. Money, indeed, has a cruel influence. – Chapter 40, My Promise to Bu Mus 

I was disappointed that so many intelligent children were forced to leave school for economic reasons. I cursed all of the stupid people who arrogantly acted smart. I hated those children of the rich who threw away their educations. – Chapter 46, His Third Promise

-

Gosh, the discrimination towards the lower class frustrated me! But their innocent childhood and the dynamic of rural life warm my heart. Their friendship and persistence in pursuing their dreams were also inspiring. 

But what I know for sure from my own experience at the poor school is that a hard-working life is like picking up fruit from a basket with a blindfold on. Whatever fruit we end up getting, at least we have fruit. Meanwhile, life without hard work is like looking for a black cat in a dark room with closed eyes, and the cat is not even there. – Chapter 48, Don't Give Up

I decided on my dream college right after I finished the book. Was I accepted to that school? Yes, in four years. Did I succeed in graduating from that school? That's a different story lol.

But anyway, it might not be the fanciest literature I've ever read, but it surely has a place in my heart. 

Sorry for the long answer >,< But thanks so much for the ask, Meg!!! It really made my day~ hehe 🐈💌🌿

Get To Know People Better Tag Game

I was tagged by @graysparrowao3! thank you!

Three Ships:

So I assume this is like favorites? Okay, I'll try to do separate fandoms as well to keep it interesting and I'll try and make it less common ships, not exactly rare ships per se because like... I am very shy and anxiety prone so truthfully iunno what's rare and not because I don't engage a lot.

Thunderweave (Gale/Rolan) : I really like this one, even more since my fiancee and I RPed it with the idea of transmasc Rolan. It's really kind of interesting and also Rolan deserves a better fellow wizard than Lorroakan and I think Gale is a great fellow wizard being both talented, secure in his abilities, but also willing to see the potential and power in another person. Also I super identify with Rolan and my fiancee does a really good really convincing Gale for RP and cosplay. Kabru/Mithrun: I initially preferred Kabru/Laios, which I still really like honestly, but I read a longer post about Mithrun's disabilities and his trauma and how Kabru treats him like a person when most people don't and like as a heavily traumatized person who became suddenly and severely disabled as a result, I really really relate and hope that my partners will show me that same level of care when they are able (distance has been the main reason why not, my mom has mainly been the one taking care of me since I became disabled so I don't really know what my partners will do in person because one lives far away and one has been called away on family issues since before this became a major issue) Thraina (Thrall/Jaina) : This is the only hetero ship I consistently come back to. I usually prefer Sylvanas/Jaina, but realistically I don't want to put that one here for only one reason. Sylvanas/Jaina has a lot of basis in what it could be (No one at Blizzard who has been there consistently through their entire development is talented enough to have made it work so it's all theoretical and based on what much better unpaid fanfiction writers decide). Thraina, meanwhile was unintentionally somehow written as one of the most equitable, healtyh, equal, and level relationships in all of WoW and it wasn't even canon...mainly because Metzen is a weird creepy misogynist (one of the main reasons I actually mainly write Aggra/Jaina as a ship actually, because both deserve better and are, in theory, better than that bag of derivative Marvel obsessed dicks allows them to be) but anyway, it's just fascinating to me how the healthiest ship in WoW was axed, shut down, and denied despite how genuinely good it was. I could write essays on this, I *HAVE* written essays on this, but I'll spare you. First ship: Domon Kasshu/Chibodee Crockett (G Gundam) but also Meg Giry and Christine Daae (Phantom of the Opera) these were simultaneous, so honestly I had to put both.

Last Song: Where You Are (Moana Soundtrack)

Last Movie: it was this obscure random horror movie I found on Peacock called 'Wait Till Helen Comes' about a child ghost. I tend to since I've been unable to work stay up late making costume pieces and writing and pick random horror movies for background. It wasn't bad, honestly.

[thebramblewood]

yes i like your product ;~; i saw in some of your tags you being a little bummed about your photoshop skills and i really think you're selling yourself short a bit! every screenie feels so well thought out and visually, they are all so stunning. also, i couldn't stop reading lilith's voice in meg from Disney's Hercules??? the way her attitude would make me weak in the knees is taking me out

Aww, thank you! This is so lovely. 🥰 I do think I'm pretty good at setting up shots (I should be considering I've been taking screenies since TS2, lol), but I guess I wish I had more of the "postproduction" skills like lighting or special effects. The things some people on here do in edits are wild! I'm my own worst critic so I can't help but compare myself. Luckily, I don't feel like that kind of stuff is really necessary for what I'm doing most of the time. Anyway, I can definitely be self-deprecating to a fault, so I appreciate the confidence boost!

P.S. I fear I shouldn't have made Lilith so sexy, but I really needed to show how Helena is so instantly drawn to her. I just hope it doesn't make you all root for some of the things she's about to do! 😬

[youcalledmebabe]

Rec me films pls because you seem based

Hi!! I took so long to answer this because I was like well now I need to prove that I am based with my movie recs. Jury’s out on that! I chose five of my all time favorites in no particular order.

1. You’ve Got Mail. I LOVE Nora Ephron and she wrote and directed this one so it’s extra special. Tom Hanks (of hbo war fame) and Meg Ryan play rival bookstore owners who are, unbeknownst to them, online pen pals. It’s a classic romantic comedy—the bickering! the chemistry! the banter! But it sticks with me because it has this very compelling sense of melancholy to it that makes it feel more real. It’s bittersweet, and it gets a lot of flack online for the bitter parts of the story, but I think those parts make it truer. Anyway it’s New York in the nineties and it’s Meg and Tom and it’s warm and nostalgic and I watch it every year. favorite line (okay two because I couldn’t pick): “No, but there is the dream of someone else.” “how about coffee, drinks, dinner, a movie… for as long as we both shall live?”

2. Before Sunset. I ADORE this movie. You have to watch before sunrise first, which is also really great, but Sunset is my favorite. Another film that lives and dies by the chemistry between its two actors and the script. If you’ve read my webgott fic you know the gist of the plot but basically: two lovers reunite after one perfect night nine years ago. Jesse wrote a book about Celine and she comes to the reading. Then they walk around Paris and catch up on the last nine years of their lives. It’s all about the magic and the romance of a second chance. But it’s also about how spending so much time apart and growing and changing complicates that. It’s another movie that I find all the more romantic because it feels real. favorite line: “I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.”

3. Say Anything. THEE best of the 80s teen movies, endlessly parodied, but somehow underrated. Average guy Lloyd Dobler falls for the beautiful valedictorian Diane Court after graduation. This is the origin of the famous boombox over your head romantic gesture. It’s a very sweet movie about first love and coming of age. Endlessly quotable and clever. John Cusack is just so, so likable and so you really understand why Diane likes Lloyd so much. The John Hughes movies get all of the love but this is the one that stands the test of time. favorite line: “I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.”

4. The Social Network. I mean it’s the social network! What is there to say? Incredible cast, incredible script, incredible directing. It’s one of those movies that’s such a movie. I’m most interested in it for the tragic doomed friendship between Mark and Eduardo. I LOVE a friendship that rots and crumbles but is somehow always with you anyway. We see them as best friends who create something together and then watch it fall apart and we see how it affects them in the present. They snipe at each other and yet still have the odd impulse to defend each other even as they’re on opposite sides of a lawsuit. Under all the pain there’s still love. favorite line: “I was your only friend.”

5. Bridget Jones Diary. A little bit sillier and fluffier than the rest but still excellent. First off, it’s British, and I love the Brits. The cast is endlessly charming. It’s so funny. Bridget is a mess—like actually a mess, and not in that usual boring rom com way—and I love her so much. It’s based on pride and prejudice (as is you’ve got mail) and that’s one of my favorite dynamics. It has the funniest fight scene in the rain with one of the best needle drops of all time. Honestly it has many great needle drops. It’s a movie about finding someone who likes all those weird messy parts of you and I find that very romantic. favorite line: “No, I like you very much. Just as you are.”

thanks for the ask!!

[psychewritesbs]

This ask has something to do about the new 237 leaks so you don't have to entertain this but-

As much as I want to be optimistic. Is this it for Megumi? I'd like to think not, but somehow I wouldn't put it past Gege to pull something off like this. Not even a farewell, or a pov on Meg inside. He's just -

If this is truly the end for my boy I might have to stay away from the manga for a while.

Hola!

So... since I am slow at replying to asks, ch. 237 leaks are a thing of the past at this point lol.

I hear you anon! I really want Megumi to come back ofc, and I love all of the evidence that has been presented about his return, it all makes so much sense from a thematic pov. Even from a depth psych perspective, I can do mental gymnastics around the idea that what he's going through right now is necessary for the next stage of his growth.

In fact, come to think of it... when I wrote my Megumi and fate ramble, one of the things I predicted was that he would have an experience that would mirror the experience he had under the Hasobachi bridge, and that it would lead to a completely new understanding of himself.

I'm not sure if I said this before too, and if I didn't I totally meant to say it, but I felt like this experience would have to cause a much bigger shock than the previous one. It's hard to explain...

So if what Megumi has gone through isn't the ego death I predicted, then I don't know what is. This tells me that, yes, Megumi died in the sense of the word that he experienced ego death (which I also wrote about), which means that being possessed is just part of his transformational journey.

And yet, I totally understand where you're coming from in feeling like you wouldn't put it past the cat to be done with Megumi. Like... isn't it so relatable how a lot of people are like "Gojo is not coming back! Move on!!!"?

Anyways, the way I see it, Sukuna reincarnating his og body at last kind of does feel like he's overcome Megumi's sense of self completely. That's my understanding of it.

HOWEVER, Gege has shown us a couple of times already that the body's original consciousness sometimes does come through and either overrides the presiding sense of self (i.e. Geto overcoming Kenny for a bit) or that the body's consciousness is so intricately tied to the sense of self and the soul, that it can override the host body (Toji in Shibuya).

SO! Here's to hoping anon...

That said, I think that ch. 236 made it exceedingly clear that Gege is a non-linear writer and that he writes in a circular fashion sometimes. What this does is that it gives new meaning to past events. So I wouldn't be surprised if he gives us that Megumi flashback, etc. We just have to wait for it.

Basically, nothing wrong with stepping away from jjk until then. I know I sat out the majority of Gojo vs. Sukuna. For me, I am fascinated with Sukuna so I am going to continue reading.

Thanks for stopping by anon!

[megumi-fm]

Hey Meg!!! How are you??

Hope you're feeling better now. I feel you, holidays always manage to be shitty one way or another🫠

I've actually managed to have the first good holidays in a while (like, maybe 6 years)! yey me! it was mostly good bc my sister's bf was sick, so we used that excuse to miss plans, but a win is a win lol. And for the first time i managed to get along with all my cousins, so that was nice.

But, anyways, you said you were distracting yourself with books and tv shows. What have you been reading/watching??

hey Aj!!! its been a while since you sent this but I'm here now xD

I am doing a lot better now! (and I was starting to get better at around the time you sent this ask, and this ask just brightened everything up, so thank you!)

I'm glad to hear your holidays went good!! A win is a win for sure lmaoo, i hope he's doing better now!! It's nice that you're getting along well with your cousins ^=^

Ooo yes books. When you sent the ask, I was fixated on Japanese crime fiction. I had read The Mill House Murders as well as The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji (both of which I thoroughly enjoyed!! I kind of pieced the ending for the Mill House Murders before I got to it but it was enjoyable regardless!) I'd also started The Honjin Murders by Seishi Yokomizo... but then I... got distracted.

Recently I read Icebreaker by Hannah Grace! It's your typical enemies-to-lovers hockey romcom situation, it was a fun time. I'm currently reading Iron Widow, and the premise is really interesting and the protagonist is witty and funny and super badass, I love her.

As for movies. I recently rewatched the Kung Fu Panda series (it's just so good!! I'm waiting for the 4th movie but I'm kind of apprehensive for what's coming ahh). I've been mainly watching Thai BLs tbh xD. I'm currently on Cherry Magic 30 (the Thai remake, the original in Japanese is really cute too) and Last Twilight; they're both ongoing so I have plenty of time to brainrot over one episode before the next one comes out HAHAH (Last Twilight is one of the best shows I've ever watched, the most recent episode had me sobbing myself to sleep at 1:30am ToT)

yeah. that's my update. tell me about what you've been reading and watching!!

[mlobsters]

supernatural s7e21 reading is fundamental (w. ben edlund)

i recognize the name kevin tran but i have no clue who he is. another question soon to be answered. the cello playing not super obviously fake, good job everyone!

the classical music overplayed action dudes setting up gear and getting settled in dark and industrial setting, very reminiscent of... something. maybe it's a general action movie trope. but thinking of nessun dorma in the sum of all fears (one of my favorite usages of music in a movie). anyway. it's a vibe. and not one this show usually has. i like it

DEAN That sound like somebody saying, "No, wait – stop," to you? SAM Uh... Yeah. Yeah. DEAN Yeah. [shrugs] Oh, well.

all right then. did lightning daddy zap the kid some juice

meg livin it up

DEAN So, what? We start the storm heard 'round the world?

maybe i'm just sad but, oof. this better not be something to feel guilty about again

same, sam, same.

DEAN All right, so big daddy chomper lands here, he grabs himself some Dick…

they're really ramming the Dick jokes down our throats

DEAN Rufus' cabin, then? SAM Yeah. DEAN This time, I'm doing the shopping.

thank you for all the little domestic moments lately, show

literally busted out laughing. got the sad, sad trench back on. staring out the window. is it raining?

are dean and sam both forgiving and forgetting cas?

CASTIEL Will you look at her? My caretaker. All of that thorny pain. So beautiful. MEG We've been over this. I don't like poetry. Put up or shut up.

i'm with sam. okay.

CASTIEL If someone was going to free the Word from the vault of the earth, it would end up being you two. Oh, I love you guys. DEAN Oh. Uck. Okay. All right. Okay.

laughing at the transcription but he totally said uck

this sam confusion over megatron/metatron thing is making me laugh but it's so ridiculous. speaking of ridiculous, leaving the word of god on the floor to go bicker with meg, sam. he knows better, c'mon

MEG We both call, who do you think Cas will come to? I'm guessing me. You heard him – thorny beauty, blah, blah. I'm the saint who stayed with him. He owes me. His words. SAM Yeah, what about what he owes us? MEG Well, work on him a little. Maybe he'll start crushing on you, too, hot stuff.

this kind of feels like ruby 2.0, what they're doing with meg

DEAN No, I want you to button up your coat and help us take down Leviathans. Do you remember what you did?

CASTIEL We live in a "sorry" universe. It's engineered to create conflict. I mean, why should I prosper from... your misfortune? But these are the rules. I didn't make them. DEAN You made some of them. When you tried to become God, when you cut that hole into that wall.

tell him, dean

FEMALE ANGEL A demon whore and a Winchester… again.

okay addressing the ruby of it all out loud

SAM Meg, where did you get that? MEG A lot of angels died this year.

that was a good one

KEVIN So, these Leviathans – these monsters are real. And angels with wings? SAM No. Uh... no wings. No anything. DEAN No junk. Junkless.

okay.

COMMERCIAL We know you're hungry. Why not enjoy Biggerson's homemade pie bar? It's like a salad bar but with pie.

i'm there

awkward family road trips

CASTIEL We were assigned to watch the earth. Often, it was boring. The wars were very boring and the sex – you know, the repetition.

okay again

KEVIN This looks like a sex-torture dungeon. Is this a sex-torture dungeon? DEAN picks up a scythe. DEAN No, this is not a sex-torture...

this is some episode

CASTIEL (to sam) You seem troubled. Of course, that's a primary aspect of your personality, so I sometimes ignore it.

don't hold back, cas

CASTIEL The weight of all my mistakes, all those lives and souls lost, I... I couldn't take it, either. I was… I was lost until I took on your pain. It's strange to think that that helped, but – SAM I know you never did anything but try to help. I realize that, Cas, and I'm grateful. We're all grateful. And we're gonna help you get better, okay? No matter what it takes.

schmoopy music and all, looks like we are forgiving and forgetting

DEAN Oh, I don't know, man. What can I say? You've been chosen. And it sucks. Believe me. There's no use asking "why me?" 'Cause the angels – they don't care. I think maybe they just don't have the equipment to care. Seems like when they try, it just... breaks them apart.

can't get mad at a shark for being a shark?

SAM Here. “Leviathan cannot be slain but by a bone of a righteous mortal washed in the three bloods of the fallen.” Uh... It says we need to start with the blood of a fallen angel. CASTIEL Well, you know me. [He holds out a small bottle.] I'm always happy to bleed for the Winchesters.
