So throughout the day they're just noticing all the stuff he does for her like the sidewalk rule (he notices she's by the sidewalk and puts his arm around her waist to move her to make sure she's safe), asking her if she's eaten. Anyways their in the bus going to track or smth and hes asleep on her shoulder while she plays with his hair or hoodie so the other drivers are teasing her and he wakes up and is like baby why aren't u paying attention to me

arvid lindblad x gf!reader

masterlist

a/n: this was so fun to write?? i love sleepy arvid actually

You’ve been counting down the days until your exams were over, not just for the relief of finishing them, but because it meant you could finally spend a whole weekend at the track with Arvid. 

It’s your first time here, and you’re buzzing with excitement and curiosity. The smell of gasoline and burnt rubber fills the air, mingling with the cheers and shouts of the crowd. 

It’s a world you’ve only seen through Arvid’s phone, the multiple video calls and pictures didn’t do any justice to the true atmosphere of the paddock, it feels completely disconnected from the world outside.

Now, you’re here in the flesh, and the attention is almost palpable. The other drivers keep glancing your way, probably piecing together who you are.

 It’s amusing and a little nerve-wracking, but Arvid is right beside you, his presence a comforting anchor in this whirlwind of new experiences.

“Have you eaten?” Arvid asks, his voice soft yet insistent. He’s always like this—making sure you’re taken care of, sometimes even before you realise what you need. 

“I grabbed a snack earlier,” you reply, smiling up at him. He gives you a look that says he’s not entirely convinced but lets it slide for now.

As you walk through the paddock, you notice how Arvid subtly manoeuvres you to his other side, positioning himself between you and the bustling crowd. 

His arm gently wraps around your waist, guiding you away from the edge of the sidewalk. It’s a small gesture, but it makes your heart flutter. 

“Safety first,” he murmurs with a grin when he catches your eye. 

The other drivers are clearly intrigued. You catch snippets of their conversations, whispers about who you might be and what your relationship with Arvid is. 

They’ve seen those photos—your hand in his, a candid shot of you laughing at something he said, your silhouette as the sun sets behind you. Now, seeing the way he cares for you, their curiosity only deepens.

The day is a blur of races, debriefs, and adrenaline. You’re swept up in the energy of it all, your excitement matching the roar of the engines. 

Arvid checks in on you frequently, whether it’s to hand you a bottle of water, share a quick kiss, or simply squeeze your hand as he passes by. 

You can tell his friends are watching, their teasing glances and knowing smiles not lost on you.

As the sun begins to set, signalling the end of the day’s events, you find yourself back on the bus with the team, heading to your hotel. 

Arvid is sitting beside you, exhaustion evident on his face. You can’t help but smile as you watch him struggle to stay awake.

“Go ahead and rest,” you whisper, brushing a strand of hair away from his face. “I’ll wake you when we get there.”

He gives you a sleepy nod, his eyes already closing as he leans his head on your shoulder. You can feel the weight of his trust and affection, and it makes your heart swell with emotion.

As the bus starts moving, you absentmindedly play with Arvid’s hair, twirling strands around your fingers. His eyes are closed, his breathing steady and calm. You can feel the tension of the day melting away from both of you.

“Look at them,” one of the drivers whispers, not quite as quietly as he thinks. “So cute it’s disgusting.”

Another laughs softly. “Arvid’s totally whipped.”

You laugh softly, feeling a mix of embarrassment and affection. Just as you’re about to respond, Arvid stirs beside you, lifting his head and blinking sleepily.

“Baby, why aren’t you paying attention to me?” he mumbles, his voice thick with sleep.

The other drivers burst into laughter, and you can’t help but join them. You turn to Arvid, a playful smile on your lips.

“I am paying attention to you,” you say, leaning in to kiss his forehead. “I’m always paying attention to you.”

He grins, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you close. “Good,” he murmurs, resting his head against yours. “Because you’re the only thing that matters to me.”

The rest of the ride passes in a comfortable silence, the gentle hum of the bus and the quiet conversations around you lulling you into a peaceful state. 

You’re aware of the eyes on you, the whispers and the speculation, but none of it matters. All that matters is the boy resting against you, the warmth of his body, and the feeling of his hand in yours.

This weekend is a first for many things—for being at the track, for meeting Arvid’s friends, for stepping into his world. But it’s also a reminder of what you already knew: that no matter where you are or who’s watching, as long as you’re together, you’re home.

chapter ii + masterlist [fluff, modern/timeskip au]

🎧 (suggested song: homesick - wave to earth)

You bit your lip and started running to your apartment complex. Your heart was running at a thousand miles per hour and you felt overwhelmed.

He’s more handsome than before… FUCK!

Once you got to your destination, you slammed the door, startling your roommate, Hitoka who was in the living room watching a rom-com with her boyfriend Tadashi.

You’ve gotten to know Hitoka since your orientation day for university. For Tadashi, they’ve dated since their third year of high school and you’ve been friends with them ever since.

They were there when you first got a bit of clout as a “rising” actress (A film you were in got some publicity from social media because of the aesthetics and people liked you for your performance and looks), so you make sure to treat them any chance you get.

Hitoka and Tadashi ran to your startled figure, crouched down, “N/N. are you okay?!” Tadashi rubbed your back, “Is everything okay, Y/N?”

You gave them a stiff smile as you stood up, rubbing your temples, “I’m okay it’s just- do you two remember when we were at the grocery store? And after that I couldn’t stop talking about my ex-boyfriend?”

They both nodded, “Where are you going with this?”

Your lips went into a straight line as you sighed, “I just ran into him at the 711 mini-mart a block away.”

They both widened their eyes, “YOU RAN INTO HIM?!”

Hitoka narrowed her eyes, “What does he even look like now? He’s probably unsuccessful and has nothing on you. Is there anything we can talk shit about?”

You sighed. You never really told Hitoka or Tadashi about who he really is.

All they know is that he broke up with you for no reason and his name is Kiyo, not the fact that he is Sakusa Kiyoomi of the MSBY Black Jackals and one of the wealthiest volleyball players in Asia and Europe combined.

“Well uh, it just looked like he- um, he’s taller and his black hair got shorter and wavier?”

Tadashi raised his eyebrow, “That’s like half of Japan’s male population.”

You froze and yawned. You didn't know what else to say and ran out of excuses to escape interrogation , “I’ll tell you two tomorrow. Good night!”

“But-?”

You shut your bedroom door and went onto your laptop to find him on your socials.

He’s gotten verified too since last time I checked…

It hurts your ego to admit you’ve been stalking him since you’ve seen his face on the billboard for a Calvin Klein advertisement two months ago. (You felt your friends pry you away from gawking at his jean advertisement)

You’ve even tried to move on from him by downloading In Bloom (You saw an ad on Insta while stalking him).

You didn’t know what you thought as you just attempted to block him (he didn’t even follow you).

Just to spite him (you still liked him after 3 years).

All over him posting a few hours ago on the same day you bumped into him? (Yes, but you’re trying to move on. He's the one who broke up with you anyway).

At this point, you weren't even aware of what you accidentally did next.

｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ

firstnamelastname followed you.

What…?

Kiyoomi thought he was seeing things. I mean, he was drinking his spiked tea but he isn't exactly a lightweight when it came to drinking.

You followed his social media?

He decided to follow back as he felt his stomach drop. He didn't know why you would follow him or what?

Maybe it was because he was "famous" or whatever.

Maybe because you wanted to see what he does now?

You were in a movie? Do you still like volleyball? Do you know who MSBY is?

Several thoughts were going through his head. Why would you even follow him in the first place? He felt so much guilt just looking at your picture of what he did to you. To you two.

He stared at your account intensely, only to have his thoughts interrupted by his cousin.

He had just moved in with his cousin a week ago since Komori wanted a roommate and the apartment was closer to his practice gym than his old apartment. It was convenient.

"Yo Kiyoomi, are you eating?"

He turned to see Motoya in his fluffy bathrobe, yawning, "Damn it man, it's so late. What the hell are you still doing? I thought practice usually ends at like 9."

Kiyoomi shrugged and went back to stalking you, "Getting some food. I was hungry. Hey-"

Motoya snorted as he took his phone to see your social media pulled up, "Now who is this...Y/N L/N? Haven't heard of her since Itachiyama. Why do you have her pulled up?"

Kiyoomi froze a bit. If there was one person he would tell anything to, it's Motoya. You're the only thing he's never brought up to him. All his cousin would assume is that you two were familiar with each other and that's it, not aware that Kiyoomi and you were a thing.

"I'm just curious as to what she's doing, y'know?" He said, sighing. You were in Itachiyama's girls volleyball club and were at the school in the first place because of a scholarship.

Of course he knew who you were in that sense.

Though, to Kiyoomi, you used to be so much more.

｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ

April 2014

"Y'know you could have totally won, you just were going easy on me." Kiyoomi laughed, stretching his arm to your shoulders.

It was the day before the new term began and Kiyoomi was walking you home from his place after binging movies like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill and playing chess.

You kissed his cheek and laughed, "It's not my fault you suck at chess."

He hummed. He felt at peace with you. You two had only dated for 2 months as you both formally 'met' at a unisex volleyball camp the break between your first year and second year of high school.

You had the same homeroom too, but just never paid attention to each other until then. You two had a casual friendship, occasionally being partnered up for projects and getting closer as his boundaries started becoming weaker towards you. You were the one who confessed to him anyway after school. He just couldn’t reject you and the mutual feelings between you both.

You held his hand and swung it softly between you two as you walked, "Do you plan to go to that party that Nekoma person is hosting this weekend? Tetsuro, I think his name is?"

He knew that name due to him being the former Nekoma Boys Volleyball captain, "I don't know, I wouldn't want to go, but Motoya is probably going to force me."

Your lips formed into a fine line and you sighed, "Kiyoomi, it would be cool if you wanted to have some fun once in a while. Break out of your shell. I mean you're popular. I'm pretty sure if you go, you'd have some fun."

He pursed his lips and shrugged, "I guess but I don't know. Would you want me to go?"

You sighed, "I mean you choose, it's completely your choice, Kiyo. But it would be cool if you went. You can text me all about it the next day!”

He knew that Motoya would be excited that he would voluntarily want to go (because you encouraged him to go) but felt a bit sad that you couldn't go anyway. You had a weekend theatre camp to attend and was gone the whole weekend.

I mean he would need something to do. His parents would be out on their anniversary weekend and his siblings are gone on the weekend in general.

Once you were at home, you turned to Kiyoomi and pointed to your phone, "Text me, pretty boy. Good night." You pecked his cheek and smiled.

He stared at you as you went home, waving to you as you turned back before shutting the door.

He was completely enamored by you.

｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ

“Oh you have In Bloom? Hah, you’re finally getting a girl?”

Kiyoomi forgot Motoya had his phone and frowned, “Shut up, I was curious.”

Motoya snatched it back and sat down next to Kiyoomi at the table to look at his profile, “And you have nothing on your account! Damn it, Kiyoomi. At least try to look for a girl…”

“Motoya, what the hell are you doing?”

He snorted as he started typing, “Getting you some girls, that’s what.”

in bloom 🌷

Name & Age: Kiyoomi S. - 26

Info: 🇯🇵, Volleyball Player, 6’4.

ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ

Kiyoomi looked at the information Motoya put down, “Why’d you put my height on there?”

His cousin shrugged while taking a sip of his cousin’s tea, “Girls like tall dudes. I just helped you here, man.”

He cringed after taking a sip, “Fuck, Kiyoomi. I knew you had issues but that doesn’t mean you have to drown yourself in shitty alcohol.”

Kiyoomi snatched the bottle and closed it, “It looked tempting and I do not have issues.”

“Yeah right. You can’t even find a girlfriend. You’ve never had one!”

Before Kiyoomi could say anything, Motoya stood up and yawned, pointing at him, “You owe me.”

He really did owe him. He just hoped it would be worth it.

Kiyoomi looked back at his cousin and yawned, “Yeah whatever, good night.”

As he went to the bathroom to take a shower, he recollected all his thoughts.

You.

You remembered him.

You followed him. Would you still want to talk to him?

After all, he did cheat on you.

a/n- should i make a taglist..? idk but thanks for reading :))

[stripedstarsblueflags]

ok i KNOW i’m late to the party but here are some of my headcanons about the “Damnnnnnnn. Someone’s been out buying new clothessss$” (and i did have to zoom in to count all the n’s)

running bit/inside joke: so the bit started weeks or months before, when lando started to tease oscar about his sense of style– or lack there of. “literally everything is shorts and a t-shirt. you have like two outfits.” “i don’t need anymore outfits.” “you look like a school kid!” “i still look older than you–” “seriously what’s wrong with buying new clothes?” just unnecessarily being a <little shit> about it. and then whenever lando shows up to the paddock wearing something mildly ridiculous and awkward but at least eye catching, he waits for someone to comment and then he says, “yeah, you know it’s sad i was gonna just wear shorts and a t shirt but i couldn’t find any” while looking directly at oscar. and ofc oscar’s rolling his eyes and trying not to laugh and like you literal dumbass what is your problem but of course he laughs anyway because it’s lando. fast forward however long this goes on for until finally oscar posts something on like his private insta or something with the new trousers and lando is like 😱 LOOK AT YOU and they have a whole DM conversation about it where lando is just being super super dramatic and pretending this is the most amazing picture he’s ever seen and borderline thirsting and oscar is like 😳 but obviously playing it cool over the phone (and in general). and eventually the conversation turns into something else but while they’re both still online oscar posts the plane pic, and he doesn’t say anything to anyone about it but lando’s like you did that just for me didn’t you 😈 and comments IMMEDIATELY. and back in the dms oscar replies to the comment like “you happy?” and lando just sends back “very”

pre-established relationship/boyfriend coded: pre-established secret boyfriends where lando is the world’s most prolific hoodie stealer. actually it doesn’t even have to be limited to hoodies it’s also shirts (the bigger the shirt the better) and probably like blankets and hats too. anything that makes him feel small. at one point lando’s like “i’m cold :( why don’t you have anything cozy” and oscar’s like “you can wear your own clothes then” and it comes out a little harsher than he means it to and he can see in lando’s eyes he didn’t take it the right way, because lando’s reactive and he overanalyzes things and he takes everything straight to the heart, so even though oscar apologizes and emphasizes he’s not mad or frustrated he still feels kind of bad about it. so he gets just a few new clothes because he doesn’t want to seem like he’s overcompensating but now he like finally owns something with a warm lining on the inside at least, and he doesn’t tell lando at first just posts the picture. but lando sees and he notices instantly and he knows that he’s supposed to be as nondescript and inconspicuous as possible and that their social media profiles are still vulnerable and they have to sleep with one eye open to keep their relationship hidden but he just can’t help himself. he convinces himself like “it’s just text people can’t hear my tone of voice, they’ll just imagine however they want to imagine it” and for the most part that’s true and it takes him so little time to work out “happy softboi bf impulse” vs “being rational and calculating risks” that he drops the comment that same minute

same plane: lando takes the picture. as oscar’s taking back his phone and setting up the post he says “what should the caption be” and lando’s original answer is a variation of his actual comment, “damnnnn been out buying new clothes$” or smth. and oscar just unexpectedly cracks up like “what?? i can’t put that on my own post it sounds like i’m checking myself out” and they have the silliest play-argument about it like “that’s a perfectly normal caption” “what are you TALKING about there’s something wrong with you” “I can’t believe you won’t use my caption that’s so rude” and getting the giggles about it and finally oscar just posts it. and lando pretends to be checking his own phone or sending a text with the most serious face he can muster but then oscar gets a notification immediately and he checks it and that’s lando’s comment. and they laugh too hard about it and oscar is like “you’re ridiculous i’m sharing that” and lando’s like “yeah go ahead it’s a great comment 😂” and it’s only *after* oscar’s shared the post and the comment on his story that lando is like oh shit. that looks really fucking flirtatious and he gets really flustered and he’s like i hope osc doesn’t take it that way but he gets the butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling anyway and he’s laughing a little too long and oscar’s like “mate come on it’s not that much” and lando’s like “yeah yeah no sorry ☺️ nothing much”

anyway haven’t posted any hcs on this account yet but i have so many and i write them so much faster than my actual fics so we’ll see how this goes

The Punk and The Suit 8

Kieran posts a thirst-ish post of his new charcoal suit with black shirt half unbuttoned, floral vest completely unbuttoned, and golden bow-tie that is currently draped loose around his neck, untied, free hand in his pocket.  

@KOArt23 - *Got some new threads special for my new art gallery, come check it out if you are in the area. Suit handpicked by my special stalker ; ) iykyk*

The post blows up a bit. Lots of people liking and thirsting. A few concerned questions about the stalker that go unanswered and then the  comments from the family.

@stpaddyspatties - *you’re letting the lawyer dress you now like a lawyer? Grammo ain’t gonna like this #traitor*

@KOArt23 - *middle finger emoji*

@StPaulsPot8oes - *oh look who can take a shower and clean up for once*

@KOArt23 - *Jealous, Potato Head? @StPaulsPot8oes*

@ScorchingSorcha08 - *if a beautiful woman disagrees with me, I will immediately change my views/ well maybe you should have principles/ you’re right maybe I should meme* *dis you*

@KOArt23 - *Don’t you have some homework to do besides trying to roast me @ScorchingSorcha08*

@1MaryAnnette - *look how gorgeous my baby boy can be. Why don’t you dress so nice every day?*

@KOArt23 - *thanks mom @1MaryAnnette*

@thegoldensuit28 - *Next time we go out, we need to actually skate and not just go clothes shopping.*

Kristoph was happy when his comment was largely ignored except for a single like from Kieran.

Kristoph was just going to shut his phone when he gets a text from Kieran. It’s a map pin to a skate park with a quick message *meet me tomorrow morning since you are so desperate to see me again you have to stalk my Insta ; P*

The next morning when Kristoph arrives at the park it was mostly empty. He saw Kieran riding about, doing ollies and grinds as he waited. Once Kieran noticed Kristoph, he waived him over and rolled over to a bench that had his bag and drink.

Walking up, Kristoph couldn’t help but notice how Kieran was chugging an energy drink, “I thought it was odd when you said to meet in the morning. Not to sound rude, but nothing about you screams you are a morning person.”

Kieran yawning, “I ain’t. But the morning is when the park is quietest. Figured you wouldn’t want others around as you learned and fell.”

Kristoph nodded and was touched by the forethought, “Thank you. But I also don’t want to be putting you out just to teach me.”

Kieran waves his hand, “Shut up, if I didn’t want to, I wouldn’t have offered. Anyways, are you left or right footed?”

Kristoph looked down at his feet, “I am not sure what you mean?”

Kieran suddenly shoved Kristoph hard, causing to take a step back with his right foot.

“What was that-”

Kieran interrupts, “You’re right-footed. Not surprising. So your left foot will be forward and you’ll kick with your right.”

Kristoph looks at his board, “And which way is forward?”

“The direction you are going. If you haven’t noticed, boards roll both ways so it doesn’t matter which end is pointed forward, just your left foot is in front.”

Kristoph nods, “But I have seen people, you even, use both feet.”

Kieran laughs, “Yeah but you’re a noob. Maybe with enough practice, you can do both but for now, lets just get you rolling without falling all the time so you don’t need all this padding.”

“I am not sure about that. Falling sucks and even pros like you fall.”

“Quit flirting, I am not a pro, just better than most. Now just stand on your board.”

They spent the next few hours training. Come lunch as people started to show, Kristoph was able to stand and kick a little but not much else.

“For your first time, not bad. Tell you what. Let’s take lunch but we’ll ride the boards there.”

“You sure about that?”

“It’ll be good practice but I will say it will take a long while to get there. There’s a lot of things to get stuck on in the sidewalk.”

”Will your family own this food truck too?”

Kieran laughed, “No, just Paddy and Paul own food businesses. We won’t be seeing my family today.”

Kieran wasn’t wrong about it taking longer. ‘It might have been quicker to walk,’ thought Kristoph when they finally arrived. They got their food and found a table to sit and eat.

Kieran’s little cousin, Sorcha, spots them and snaps a pic of them leaning over the table towards each other as they talked, the camera sound is loud enough they both look up.

“Oi! Who you taking pictures of Sor?” yelled out a confused Kieran

“Paddy said you had a boyfriend but I didn’t believe him,” She grins and starts tapping on her phone.

“Hey! Hey!” Kieran tries to jump up and trips over the chair. “What are you doing? You better not be sending that to my mom.”

He reaches for her phone right when his phone starts ringing. “Oh you little punk!”

He swipes up on the phone, “Hey Ma.”

Immediately, Kristoph could hear her scolding him loudly about how he must be ashamed of her since they still aren’t introduced but he’s taken him to meet Paddy and Paul and now Sorcha. This caused Kristoph to smile, that they wanted to meet him.

Pretty soon Sorcha’s phone rings, “Hello Uncle Tommy, Oh yeah Kieran’s right here. Yup, Aunty is currently on the phone with him. Oh sure.”

She waves at Kieran who was largely ignoring her as he was failing to calm his mother. When she finally got his attention, he gestured what at her.

She hands the phone to Kieran who takes it, with a phone in each hand.

His dad proceeds to scold him loud enough to hear about the same things his mom is.

Pretty soon Kristoph can hear Kieran’s dad saying, “Wait a minute Grammo is here too and wants the phone on speaker,” Then comes the voice of his grandma with the same scolding.

Sorcha is just grinning and eating Kieran’s food whilst he stands there with two phones as close to his ears as he can probably tolerate.

She turns to Kristoph, “So you a lawyer?”

“What? No, why would you think that? Paddy and Paul said it too.”

“Well you’re in a suit, aren’t you?”

“You know many different occupations make you wear a suit, it’s not just lawyers.”

Sorcha shrugs, “Eh, just checking, Grammo doesn’t much like lawyers.”

She finished Kieran’s food and leans over Kieran’s arm where her phone is, “Hey Uncle Tommy I need to get to practice so I need my phone back.”

Kieran placed the phone on speaker so she could hear, “Sorry Sorcha. We are not done discussing plans with Kieran, can you just drop by his place later and get it back?”

Sorcha makes a sour face but agrees, “I guess that’s fine. Well see you later Ki and boyfriend who is not a lawyer.”

“I have a name!” Kristoph protests.

She just waves and leaves.  

When Kieran finally hangs up both phones he puts his head down on the table and mumbles defeatedly.

“What was that, can’t hear you.”

Not raising his head but speaking up, “I hope you are free tomorrow for dinner. Grammo insisted on her house tomorrow. I bet she’s calling the whole family too.” He groans and reaches for his plate.

“Oh! Yeah, I am free. Also, Sorcha ate your food while you were on the phone, well phones.”

Kieran’s head pops up and looks at his empty plate “Why that little… Some nerve to get me in trouble and then steal my food.” Kieran picks up his phone and angrily types. The phone next to him dings, “Oh, Dammit! I forgot I have her phone.”

Kristoph couldn’t help his delighted little laugh, “You can have some of mine if you want.” then he grins mischievously “So what happened to not seeing your family today?”

Kieran groans before grumbling, “Should have known I would run into at least one of them. Bet a tenth of the city is just my family. Thanks for the offer but I’ll get my food. Again. The fucking brat.”

You guys, last night ended up getting so crazy. I don't even know where to begin! For those of you who don't know, I went to a cute pop-up market with my boyfriend last night. It was really fun, with all sorts of artists and performers and shops. And, like, I know the fae get a bad wrap for being tricksters or whatever, but it really seemed like just a quirky fair.

But ooooh my gods, it took such a steep turn so fast. This video will be 80 parts if I go into all of the details, but it turned out that a hag had taken over the market years ago and was, like, controlling everyone- including the DRAGON who used to own the market!- with a bunch of magical contracts. That was obviously, like, problematic on its own, but my friend recognized her missing sister working as a performer in the circus. Isn't that totally crazy? I swear, I could pitch this to one of those, like, true crime shows.

Anyways, we were gonna try to save the other workers or at least, like, alert some teachers at Strix about it but once it directly involved my friend it just became, like...so much more timely, y'know? They weren't going to stay in town long, and it wasn't like WE had a way to find them again afterwards. She was obviously gonna try and save her sister, so it wasn't like we were just gonna let her do that alone.

So we did the stupidest thing and decided to split up- I know, I know- but we were just supposed to be gathering some info! One of our groups was supposed to go watch the circus act to make sure it was really our friend's sister, while the other group- the one I was with- was just trying to snoop around to find out more about the hag and all the contracts. The plan was to regroup before anything dangerous happened, but like...of course that didn't happen.

I'm not sure, like, HOW much I can say...but I did get trapped inside a magical dollhouse at one point. And my friend obviously leapt at the first chance she had to rescue her sister, even if it wasn't a good idea since we were all still separated at the time. I can't blame her, though, all things considered. It was just, like, one of those emotionally charged decisions, which I totally get.

But the hag, like, immediately caught them. I wasn't there, but my other party members tell me she, like, trapped them all behind some forcefield thing and they ended up making a deal where they challenged her to some games. If she won, they'd be trapped, but if they won, she'd free them all and my friend's sister as well.

Meanwhile, I managed to get out of the dollhouse with some of the worker's contracts, so the rest of my party and my boyfriend's party, who came to help out, started trying to destroy as many of the magical contracts as we could to set them free. We figured freeing the dragon was, like, top priority, so we did that right away. Not without, like, a TON of resistance from a bunch of the hag's lackeys first, of course.

With the dragon- oh, her name is Pazidrone, by the way!- freed, she offered us a ride and we were able to get to the hag and our friends right as they were playing a tiebreaker game. But they didn't get to finish, since we crashed their party big time! Like, literally crashed into the hag's magical forcefield on the back of a dragon and started an all-out brawl.

I think my friend's sister is doing better now, but the healers here said it would probably be a while before she was back to her old self. It's probably hard to recover from the effects of a hag's contract, I'd bet. We did check in on some of the other workers, and most of them seemed much happier but, like, drained. So I figure there's hope she'll be okay, right?

Which...again, maybe wasn't the smartest decision our party has made. We're still, like, freshmen, after all. But I kinda figured with a dragon, it would be a cinch, yknow?

Unfortunately, Pazidrone went up against a big, chicken-y monster that, like, turned her to stone SO fast. I'm not sure we would've made it out if Willow hadn't managed to turn up that magical charm of hers and convince the hag to leave us and the market behind. But luckily, she did, and we got to live on top of freeing the workers at the market!

[Respite pauses to do their lipstick, thinking.]

It was, like, a lot if I'm being honest. I'm still kinda processing everything. I know it probably comes with the territory of going to a magic school or whatever, but it DOES feel like sometimes even our classmates can't relate, y’know? I mean, I've nearly died...what, 5? 6? times now. And that's only counting the times I was fully knocked out. It just seems like a lot for my first semester. I dunno. Weigh in if you think that's weird or not.

Oh! And I STILL have to take finals! Isn't that CRAZY? Like, why can't "save an entire marketplace from a hag" count as our final? Or at least some extra credit? I feel like it should count for SOMETHING, even if it's not part of the curriculum. Ugh, whatever. I'm sure I'll find some way to pass my exams.

Keep you guys posted- feel free to ask me any questions but also keep in mind I might wanna keep some of the personal details to myself!

Congratulations! You've been given the opportunity to create a brand new NPC for vanilla Skyrim, completely with vanilla bugs.

Who would this person be? How did they get to Skyrim? What are some funny things they might say in passing? Would they be a follower -- and if so, how would they fight? If not, why? and are they safe? Feel free to elaborate and answer unasked questions about this critter. (: This can be related to your fic(s) and/or existing OCs or completely separate just for fun.

I wasn't tagged by anyone, but this looks like fun, so I'm doing it anyways :')

Her name is Invidiosa Maledictio, and she is just a normal Imperial mage doing normal Imperial mage things. Really. She lives in a modest shack near Ivarstead, and can be found outside during the day tending her chickens and her small garden (she lives self-sufficiently), but you can't sell her her own produce. In the late afternoon/evening, she goes back inside, where she sits and eats in front of a huge bookcase, occasionally casting candlelight or a low-level healing spell. At around 10 pm she goes down into her Top Secret basement that is conveniently hidden behind a chest, but you can't access it, as it requires a key, which for some reason can't be pickpocketed from her. She only sleeps for three hours every night.

If you talk to Invidiosa, you will learn that she has a deep grudge against one particular imperial soldier, but she never tells you their name, nor what they did to her. She asks you to kill them and bring back their skull as prove. From then on, every dead Imperial will have a skull in their inventory, but the quest will only update once you find the *right* skull. This may take some time, as the *right* Imperial will only spawn as a random encounter somewhere in the Reach. She will give you 5000 gold for bringing back the *right* skull. While this quest is active, if you give her any other skull, she will just say that it isn't the *right* one, but will still gladly accept it and give you 200 gold per skull. When you finish her quest, Invidiosa becomes a follower and a potential marriage candidate, and she will even unlock her basement for you! She also still accepts skulls, and will give you a neat 300 gold each.

If you decide to check out her basement, you will see that it consists of two rooms. In the first room, you'll find an arcane enchanter and an alchemy lab, as well as different ingredients, potions, and soul gems that you can take for free and use to create powerful gear and potions! This is also where she spends most of her time when she's in her basement during the night. In the next room, you'll find- oh. Oh. Huh. So this is where she stashes all the skulls you gave her. Interesting. Depending on how many skulls you brought her, this room may have more or less skulls, but taking a skull from there is considered stealing. If Invidiosa is with you in her basement, she will just say that "you shouldn't worry about these" and that "you two are friends now, and friends have each other's backs, right?". If you decide that you don't like this and you don't want to be friends with a skull-hoarder, and you subsequently attack her, be prepared for a tough fight, as she will unleash her high-level conjuration and destruction spells on you. Once she's out of magicka, you might think that you're safe because she only uses her fists to fight, but then you realize that she wears gloves with a glitched fortify unarmed damage enchantment, and she pretty much insta-kills you.

As a follower, Invidiosa will comment on pretty much every location you go to. She will feel the most comfortable in caves as well as crypts, where she will ask you if "you've found any skulls yet?" to "expand her collection". However, she absolutely hates Solitude and wants to stay far, far away from it, implying that there's someone else there she has a grudge against. She will also be reluctant to go to the College of Winterhold with you. Invidiosa has three idle lines that she likes to say over and over again when she's not in combat ("I heard there's a crypt not far from here. Let's check it out!", "You're the only one I can trust, and I'm glad to have you by my side" and "If you're dead, can I have your skull? I'd get a nice pedestal and decorate it with flowers..."). Speaking of combat, for some reason, her enchanted gloves suddenly un-glitch, which means that she (sadly) isn't able to insta-kill enemies with her fists. However, if you decide to attack her and she leaves your service, her gloves will once again glitch. You can't kill her because she's essential for some reason (likely a left-over from a cut quest).

As a spouse, Invidiosa will lose almost all of her individuality like any other spouse. She will still have preferences for where you two decide to live; she will absolutely hate Solitude with a burning passion and will ask you to move out anytime you talk to her (this is her only line), but will love any of the Hearthfire homes. She can be found at the alchemy lab or arcane enchanter if you have them in your home. Otherwise, she will just stand or sit around all day. She also sleeps more than three hours now.

It's the 12th of July, which means that a certain cat boy is celebrating his day today!

Happy birthday Hun! 🥳

As always I made a collage for him, please have a look ☺️

Honestly the pic with him and Romang are the best ones I choosed 🥺

He looks so caring and soft 🥺

Also HEY he's a cat parent, do you really think I would have never highlighted this side of him? 😤

Anyway, here's the letter for him now. Mind you that this time I wanted to experiment a little this time. Hope the message will still be sweet like all the other letters I made 🤍

Dear Hun,

while I'm writing this, my mind is rewinding all the recent memories I shared with you since I joined this site. I remember you were one of the members who immediately caught my eyes, probably you were the first one I recognised immediately. So imagine how I was sad when I discovered that you have been the first N.Flying member to enlist. I was worried too, even tho I already knew that, at the end of the day you could have continued making music, just in a different environment.

I want to tell you something about what happened the day you enlisted. Don't worry it's not a terrible memory, I think. It was of those days where I woke up very early in the morning. I checked my phone and one of the notifs I saw your Insta live. I clicked on it, hoping I was on time. I wasn't, the live was already ended. But I immediately noticed how you decided to save it. I took a deep breath and decided to watch the video. I don't know why I did it, maybe I wanted to see it as a way to get prepared for the enlistment pictures.

So I clicked on the video, put the volume up and spent those ten minutes with you. I don't remember if that day was cold in my country, surely we weren't having those terrible heat waves we're currently having 🤣

You were so cute in the video, I remember your adorable greeting. And you looked cozy too with that white jacket, I really wanted to give you a hug before letting you leave.

My first thought immediately after seeing the enlistment pictures has been "Wait a second, what will happen to Romang now? She'll miss her dad so much :(" . Sorry, I know you were expecting something like "Oh, I'm gonna miss him :(" but your cat had the priority, I work for the Protect Romang Squad, for your information. I'm glad she's ok and healthy now, but I missed the time you spent with her. Actually I missed your time with N.Flying, I missed you messing everything with Jaehyun in 2idiots, I missed so many things with you.

I know you met a new friend while being in the military, me and one of my moots can't stop talking about it. It was a big surprise for both of us, not gonna lie. We didn't even know that you're in the same division. When we saw the first performance you did for the military we got so overwhelmed of joy that we couldn't stop talking and thinking about it. I'm glad you're making some beautiful memories while you're there, I hope this friendship will last forever.

I'm so happy that you're keeping doing music and you're still playing the guitar even now. You told us that you're trying some new skills there so... please show us those skills with N.Flying too when you'll come back, I'm curious about it.

My birthday wish for you is that you'll see your little Romang in the exact moment you'll take a vacation. I'm sure you miss her and she's missing you too.

Hope you'll celebrate this day happily with your colleagues if you can. If you manage to celebrate it with the members, even better. Just have a good day in general. And stay healthy until you'll come back to us.

Happy birthday catboy 🥳

if you discovered a new kind of vegetable like one that had never been discovered before science has NEVER seen anything like this vegetable.... what would you do with the vegetable...

well first how many samples do we have? first thing i'd do is plant the vegetable in the best most comfortable and rich soil ever to make sure it grows again and give it moderate amounts of water and sun to ensure it grows some more so i can harvest more of this vegetable.

then i do a poison test! i taste the leaves and the vegetable, touch them and rub a tiny amount on my lips to check if i have any negative side effects. i check for bitter or awful tastes. i wait for 15 minutes, then proceed with another taste with a small bit of the plant, and wait another few hours. i keep testing until i realize that there are no poisonous substances.

i still prepare one sample to send to a lab, but for now i want to do my discoveries on my own. :3

in the meantime, i'll try to note down everything i can about the vegetable. i'll doodle it, get its general shape, write my impressions, my thoughts on it while observing it. then i'll start doing a general more detail illustration of the plant's anatomy from the outside and in cross sections, noting down each region and how they smell, what they feel like, amounts of water, etc etc...

i lack the biological knowledge or vernacular to correctly note down each part of the plant's anatomy so i'll just keep the plant illustration intact and as detailed as i can. then i take a bunch of really detailed pictures and videos of the plant and vegetable from all sides, and watch how it grows.

after that i wanna try a litmus test and check the ph level of the plant... i'd probably get a litmus paper or smth.

now that i've done enough researches on the vegetables, it's time to cook it if it's not poisonous :3

first, after cleaning it thoroughly in water, i'll try tasting it raw no cuts, and see how it pairs with salt and then sugar, separately. after this, i'll dice it and tr to sauté it and taste it as is. based on how it tastes, i'll see if i'd rather pair it with a spicy sauce or a milder sauce. if it's a tiny bit bitter or chewy then i'll go for spicy, but if it has a more earthy flavor then i'll add more spices.

i'll also try to eat it in a soup, and also just cooked raw in the oven. i wanna see the panel of different tastes this plant can offer me. can i also make a tea out of it? out of its leaves and whatnot? i'll get the residual bits of the vegetable i cut off, put them all in the oven and cook them until they are fully dry, then pummel them into a fine powder to make either seasoning spices out of this vegetable, or powder for tea.

of course, i'll be documenting all of my researches on video because this is priceless data and i control all of it hehe.

after this, if i still have enough vegetables to both send to a laboratory, and to make more dishes out of, i'll make a few dishes that i deem are perfect for this vegetable, and serve them to me myself and i because if it's somehow still poisonous or smth im not giving it to my family... though i doubt it because i would have already died by now.

anyways. i take all of the document material i have, put them all together in a 30mn long video documentary. after which, i send a snippet to a lab and tell them i am renting the video for approximately [I Have Bills to Pay]$ dollars. and if they're interested, i can send them my thoroughly documented video and a sample of the plant for more money, because i have bills to pay and also put a lot of effort in this. of course i am all for sharing information publicly.

except not now because i am in dire need of some money. sorry for being a capitalist.... but i would have probably already posted and sent some bits and pieces of my researches either on here or to various friends. not on twitter. i hate twitter. not on insta either. just here or on discord or whatever.

i'd also listen to a bunch of advice from people as well, just in case.

i think that's about everything i would do if i ever discovered a new vegetable. :3c

My pleasure and kinda "duty" to tell about fun stuff as a long time Sweden fan ;)

Ok so this was before Julia had met Emma and before she'd signed for then Kopparbergs/Göteborg (the team later became part of Häcken when the club took them in). I think she was the only one left who played for a Stockholm based team. Nattis, Ippe, Anna Oscarsson and Tove Almqvist played for other clubs than AIK, Djurgården and Hammarby. Tove definitely did, she played in Linköping with Magda, Pernille, Frido and Stina among her team mates and then she went to Vittsjö. Ippe left Hammarby for Linköping after season 2017 and Julia left for Gothenburg in the summer transfer window 2018 (yes I googled it lol). So it was probably within this time frame their little travel mishap transpired. It also fits with when Instagram started with stories in 2016. This group was in the 2015 U19 Euro squad that won the gold and they were good friends already then. But it can't have been before 2016 because their little incident was shared in insta stories.

The four of them visited Julia in Stockholm (Johanna wasn't there, probably had a league game or something and Tove's best friend Stina wasn't even in Sweden). They'd went with Ippe to buy a new iPhone. Someone shared a story when they were on the subway train and Ippe unpacked her new phone. She made a huge deal of it of course lmao and was over excited. I kid you not, it was like "Omg omg omg!" and shrieks of excitement and joy from her. Tove sat next to Ippe and almost cried from laughter.

A while later Anna shared a story when they were at a platform and waited for the subway train. It was outdoors and I recognised it as the station Globen near the Globe arena (now named Avicii arena). They were laughing so much they bent forward and held their stomaches. All but Nattis who wasn't the least amused. She could be seen in the background standing with her arms crossed and a annoyed look on her face like "I'm so fucking tired of this bullshit".

Anna could barely speak when she asked Tove to come help her tell what had happened. And what had happened was they'd somehow managed to get on the right subway train - heading in the wrong direction. They didn't notice they were heading in the wrong direction for fifteen (15) minutes. They'd passed several stations before anyone reacted. The most hilarious is that everyone but Tove had lived and played in Stockholm for several years and had just very recently left for other clubs. Julia even still lived and played in Stockholm! As someone who doesn't live in Stockholm but has been there much, I can tell you it's fairly easy to find your way around the subway map in comparison to London where I've also visited.

When their subway train, this time in the right direction lmao, arrived Anna said "Idiots on world tour" about them. It became very fitting as this group went on vacations together regularly for a couple of years. Some were in the U23 national team and naturally got to travel to other countries together that way. Once Anna posted a story when she and Tove were at a player hotel. They were in a public area like the hotel lobby or near the dining room. Anna filmed Tove when she made a kick forward. Her flip flop flew through the air and almost hit one of the Dutch U23 players. Whoops. In a added story Anna had frozen the footage and zoomed in on Tove's face when she followed the flight of her flip flop towards the Dutchies. She did a funny caption to it but I don't remember what. Tove's face was priceless anyway as she watched her flip flop in horror. Of course the two of them broke down in fits of laughter afterwards.

Others have been called up to the senior national team for looks in training games or for competitive games and championships. At one camp Ippe was Anna's roomie. They were chilling in their hotel room laying on their beds. Anna checked her phone. An apparently very bored Ippe posted a story when she first had her back towards Anna. The collar of her Sweden training jacket covered half her face so you could only see her eyes. Then she quickly turned around and hit Anna hard on the arm or leg. Anna exclaimed "Ouch! Cut it out Filippa!" and hit Ippe back on her leg but stopped herself halfway so she wouldn't hit her full force. Then she returned to checking her phone and Ippe rolled back so she was turned away from Anna again. Still with the collar covering half her face. Through all of this Ippe didn't utter a sound. Didn't laugh, didn't giggle and didn't say anything. She just got an idea to film when she was being a little shit to Anna and wanted to do something eh creative.

The members of the Idiots on world tour have changed slightly it seems but the core group is the same. I think last time they as a big group of friends went on a December vacation after season was in 2019. Julia had met Emma, Anna hadn't met Matilda, Elena hadn't met Benni, Ippe had met Megan, Nattis was either single or with that male Djurgården ice hockey player, Stina was probably single as she had still to meet her bf whom she met after she'd moved to Gothenburg and she didn't move there until 2020.

And now with this recent boat ride the Idiots are on world tour again. Some of them will get to travel half way around the the world in less than one months time when Sweden fly out to the base camp in Wellington, NZ.

Thank you for taking the time to share all of that! It's really cool that you remember it

ONE / Twenty Five - Poor Bagle

Rather chill.

After I explained to Lucia why it was smelling like weed all over her place, both of us got dressed and went to townsquare to a really nice bagel store to have breakfast. We each took a seat at the bar in front of the big massive window. Lucia pulled out her Laptop and started taking notes. She always does that during breakfast since that is her most efficient time of the day when it comes to writing. While I ordered a classic salmon-cream cheese bagel Lucia had the urge to feel extra fancy and got one with avocado and fried egg on the side. The waitress brought Lucia her caramel latte and a chai latte for me. Lucia was focused on her notes, so we barely talked. It wasn’t strange or anything. Lucky stuff like that doesn't feel weird with Lucia anymore. We kind of passed that level of friendship. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket to check my news and messages. One message from insta and 3 on discord. I was worried. I didn’t see a name or anything. What if all three messages are from Ethan, and how shitty I am that I have not talked to him for a while now. I took a sip of my chai latte while opening instagram. A new follower request? I opened the profile of that other person and struggled to keep the latte in my mouth. Ethan?! Right, I had my socials in my discord information, he must have checked them. 

I browsed through his profile while we got our bagels. I grabbed on half of the freshly made and definitely toasted bagel and started munching on it. I look above my phone while browsing through Ethans insta only to discover that Lucia is devouring her bagel like she hasn’t been eating for a week. Poor bangle. I kept looking and saw many cute photos of him. Some are with friends, others only with him and others are from his job. Damn, he is really good at being a barista. His creations are marvellous. Right as I wanted to leave a follow he uploaded a new story. I instantly look it up. It was him, in the cafe holding a cup of coffee while wearing headphones, staring out the window. It was an awesome photo. The caption read “soon” so I assume this will be a later post for his insta. I surely hope because whoever took that photo was doing a really great job. But, now that my insta mystery was all solved, it was time to check discord. 

One message was from Jesse, and two from Etahn. I’ve decided to make a small and little Ethan break and check what Jesse has been up to. Turns out, not too much. They were just checking if I am fine since we haven’t had writing for like three days. They always do that, thankfully tho. That way they keep my mind at bay. I simply wrote back that I have been at Lucias and that things are working as they should. I was thinking of telling them about Ethan but since it is probably just a silly crush, saying something now would come off strange. At least for me. What if he ghosts me after a few days and I look like the biggest hoe. Nah, I’ll leave it be. I’ll inform them once there is good progress that I can show without worrying it might be over soon. The waitress came over again, apparently Lucia was giving her a hand signal. I checked her plate. All eaten up. I was still holding my first half of the bagel. Either she is really hungry or I am being very slow here. Turns out Lucia is just really hungry, since, well she ordered a 5 Stack pancake, an orange juice and a glass mimosa. I instead just asked for a hot white chocolate with whipped cream. When I tried asking Lucia she just hizzed at me like a wild animal. Yep, she is not hungry, she is also not hangry, she is hurries. I like the word. It’s a mix of hungry and furries and most of the time way more accurate than hangry. 

Anyways, back to Ethan. Here’s what he had to say.        

Discord conversation 

@Fallen_Jam Yesterday at 11.50pm

Anyhow, I hope this wasn’t any strange, sorry again for that kind of first entrance I am not really good with that^^”

@GreenOtter Today at 6.30pm

Oh don’t you worry, it was all good. I’m actually surprised that someone like your friend would pull off a trick like that. I tip my crown, she did well. And hey, it worked. I mean we did write a few lines back and forth, that’s more than what happened without her doing that. I think you can be proud of her. Anyhow I got to get ready for work. Coffee will be served at 8 and I got a long way. I am, however, sorry I messaged you that late. I’m already on the train since I was in a hurry. Kind of a long way from Burgess Hill to Egham but it’s worth the trip.  

@GreenOtter Today at 6.50pm

Oh and if you ever wanna come around, just message me before, so I can schedule my break so we can hang a bit better. Alright, have a good day!

Well that was surprisingly smooth. I did not expect him to understand that. Man, he really is a charm. Wait, hold that thought. Burgess Hill? That’s on my way too? Are you kidding me? Ethan lives not even twenty minutes away from us and met at work? I mean we probably have been on the train together multiple times before. How come I’ve never seen him before. I mean, he kind of sticks out with his pointy fluffy blond hair. And he is pretty. What is wrong with me?

Lucia: What’s on your mind? James: Nothing, just. How long haven’t you been eating haha Lucia: You also eat slowly. Here I left a pancake extra for you. Need help with your bagel? James: Well that’s mine now. And no, I take it with me for the ride to windsor. Lucia: Right, you wanted to go to Jesse’s place. What bus did you want to take? James: I think I will take the one from town square, I’m too tired to walk that much. Lucia: Well, you’ve been gone yesterday eve. Was everything fine? Or did you walk for two hours? James: It was fine, I sat most of the time, I just needed to think, that’s it. Lucia: About Ethan? Did he write anything or? James: He said I should be proud of you for pulling a trick like that. Lucia: OH did he? Well you should. After all, I am a wingwoman.   James: Yeah right? Well remind me, how long have you been single for? Lucia: WHOA that's low. I told you I sold my soul to science. I have no time for a partner. James: But you go out so often. How come you’ve never found someone. Lucia: Okay this might be hard for you but that’s because I just don’t give a damn about people. Sorry not sorry. And sorry to disappoint but as an Aro/Ace person I prefer learning. The parties I go to are more like social studies for me. And who said I’m not allowed to have fun with friends. James: I see. Lucia: I really have no time. I’m trying so hard to achieve the best outcome. I already told you that I do this because of my brother. James: Yeah I know. How’s he? Lucia: Well, he’s keeping up. He’s not well but he didn’t get worse. I try to reach out to him twice a week but sometimes my parents won’t let him. James: Aren't they in the medical field as well? They should have known better. Lucia: They should. Now it’s on me. James: You’ll get it. Waitress: Sorry to interrupt, is everything fine? James: Yeah thanks. I’d like to pay then please. Waitress: Very well. James: Oh and, could you bag this up for me? I want to eat it on the way. Waitress: Sure. I’ll be right back Lucia: James what the hell? James: You paid yesterday, now was my turn. Lucia: Fine.

Lucia and I got dressed while I waited for the bill. The bill was rather high but I haven’t bought that much this month so it’s fine with me. I grabbed the bagel and we left the building. We went straight to the bus stop. Lucia kept waiting with me, before we hugged goodbye once I saw the bus. I got in, grabbed my  phone, grabbed my headphones and hit up spotify. 

In a few I’ll be at Jesse’s.

okay so the story takes place late july, around the time of my birthday. backstory for context: my first love from hs came to my birthday party my friends threw for me at my house and we were drinking (i’m of age but DRINK RESPONSIBLY!!) and mind you he has a gf and we went to his car where he kissed me and blah blah we hate state named boy. anyway so the next day after my party this ex of mine from hs and i were texting and im obv sober now and i’m like do you wanna talk about it?? bc yk he has a gf and he told me i’m pretty much forgetful 😀 and yeah that was my final straw being sorry for myself (context: up until that point 15 y/o me was still in love w who he was when we were kids and seeing him after so long showed me who he is now and respectfully,, i hate him.) anyway,, so i was like i’m gonna download a dating app to get over myself bc who wants to be sad over some douche bag who cheats on his gf just to kiss his hs sweetheart??

and i did just that and at the time where i was living i had roommates that i was close w one was a childhood friend (who i now know was obsessed w me and is insane) and they were hyping me up yk? so i made my profile and he (my bf) was one of the first 3 people to message me and i kid you not his first message (mind you i put in my bio i’m a mom bc i’m being up front) was ‘you got kids?’ I WAS LIKE WHO TF SAYS THAT 😭😭 nevertheless we chatted and he asked me what i wanted here and i sent a whole mf paragraph about what i was looking for and this man said “so fwb?” I WAS LIKE CAN HE NOT READ?? and then he told me he wanted something more serious and i was like okay?? doesn’t pertain to me?? and he send me his snap but told me to find where that goes and ofc i go to insta bc that’s what i use the most and ofc i was wrong so i added him on snap and HE CALLED ME I WAS SPOOKED WHO TF CALLS SOMEONE ON SNAP YOU HAVENT MET?? this man of mine i tell you.

so he calls me and he’s on his way over and i shower and i stay on call w him till he arrives and he gets out his car and i’m like DEAR LORD HES SO FUCKING CUTE maybe i was touch deprived but i was giggling. GIGGLING. and we go to my room and watch the nun (he’s scared of scary moves and those are my jam so we laughed about that and we watched the movie and the first fire alarm goes off so i go to check tf was happening and 2/3 roomies said there was a small fire they put out in the garage (i’m not gonna explain rn bc its too much to type 😭) and then i go back to my room and we watch the movie and the second one goes off and my roommate who was childhood bestie said get out the house so we do so and my garage was ablaze i tell you 😃

so i tell him if he wants to leave he can bc this doesn’t happen everyday and he said i kid you not ‘rn i’m more worried about you so i’ll stay to make sure you’re okay’ HELLO I WAS DOWN IMMEDIATELY. he moved his car and i leaned against it and he held my hand and rubbed my back while i was shaking crying and after the fire department left we all went back inside and it was a mess there was ash and soot everywhere and i took another shower and since he worked that same morning. IN A FEW HOURS he stayed over and i didn’t sleep til he left, we finished the movie and he slept maybe a hour and a half and i bid him goodbye and i went to sleep. HE CALLS ME ON HIS LUNCH BREAK I KID YOU NOT and it woke me up so i answered and he was w a coworker and asked me what i was doing for the day. i was like. cleaning up my house 😭so he said if i get an break from cleaning up if i wanted to go to a movie w him?? HELLO?? FIRST DATE MUST BE ROMANTIC RIGHT??

so it was so last minute so we went to see Oppenheimer and i didn’t know anything about the movie but i’m a history nerd so we get there and we’re in the front row like where handicap seats are for those who need them. that’s where we at 😭but it was just us two and a bunch of space so like an hour in he’s gone,, snoozing w his head on my shoulder 🥹 and yeah bc i was confused as to what timeline we were in around ww1 and 2 so i took a 30 min nap MAX and woke up and tried to watch the rest of the movie and the power went out. AT THE NEAR WND OF THE MOVIE IT WENT OHT. our movie started at 7,, power went out 10 minutes after 10pm. THE WHOLE THEATER WAS PISSED so i woke him up and we went back to my house and he waited 3 weeks of basically spending every night at my house to ask me out,, but he met my kid the day of his birthday (the baby’s birthday) and that night after midnight we drove to the beach and he took a polaroid pic of us and wrote it i’d date him on it 🥹 and we had gotten ice cream and soda to make floats and candy and we were listening to music in my car and there’s a song i played for him and told him this particular part reminded me of him and it’s this is how you fall in love by jeremy tucker & chelsea cutler and it’s her opening verse where she says ‘what’s easy is right, my mothers advice, you are the reason i never think twice’ and THIS MAN SEARCHED UP THE LYRICS ON GOOGLE. HIGHLIGHTED IT AND TOOK A SC. i wanted to cry,, i wanted to marry him then and there. and now i have two polaroids in my car, one of my first day back to work after the garage fire bc it was only slightly damaged and no one was physically harmed so work had to be done and as i’m leaving he says “wait, smile!” and i was like 🙂 and he took a pic and i wrote on it “his name pov : smile!” and the one of us the night he asked me out. so if you really think about it august is important for me bc it’s loki day on one day, the next is esa day, the next is baby day and the next is his day w me 🥹

Yo you seem cool

I got questions

What fandoms are you in besides good omens? (Metal af that your first post was replying to Neil lol)

Is the art for your banner and profile pic yours? (If so it’s really good)

Do you still need help figuring out tumblr? Happy to be of assistance it took me a while too, but I came at the same time as the Reddit refugees so there were plenty of how tos

Omg hiiii I found you <333 thanks for interacting :D

Soo I am in fandoms such as The Sandman, Our Flag Means Death, The Owl House, Doctor Who (I watched like the first two seasons but can’t find somewhere to watch the rest of them), Umbrella Academy, Loki (and generally Marvel), Good Omens of course, and others but my brain tends to never be able to remember all of them, I usually just love anything related to fantasy / science fiction and imaginative universes (I also love reading) :D

Hehe I have created this account a few weeks ago but never posted anything because I don’t know how to do it (and procrastinate doing the research to learn) / am nervous; but then I saw Neil’s post and thought about it like an occasion to do my first post, send my nervousness to hell and figure out things as I do them x)))

OMG I CAN CHANGE THE POLICE OF MY TEXT THATS SO COOL

AAAA

Okay, sorry

I like this one better :D

No, not for emojis, they’re better in this one :D

Okay but why do some of the lines appear bigger? (The one right after « Okay, sorry »)

Anyway,

YESSSS the art in my banner and my profile pic is mine, tyyyy <3333 (I’m gonna post some art soon, but for the moment, I have more art on my insta account (@l.raav_art) (if you go check there, tell me you’re from Tumblr :D )

And thank you so much for the help! I’m about to check the fotos (I think theyll be available for anyone if I answer to your question with the fotos)

And btw when was this Reddit moving to Tumblr? And why?

(Btw I’m really liking Tumblr, it leaves so much more space to personalization than Instagram)

:DD

PHASMOPHOBIA IS TERRIFYING YET ADDICTING AAAAAHHH

was playing it with Gham tonight and my hands are STILL shaking omg

uhhhhhh details under the cut ajskdlas;l

we're slowly getting better at pinning down the ghost types and surviving hunts

we were in one of the cabins at one point tonight, and Gham found a Ouija board in one of the rooms. we agreed not to mess with it until we nailed down what our ghost was

so we're doing that, everything's going fine, we figure out it's an obake

so I leave the cabin and I'm checking over the cameras from the van just to double-check that we had ghost orbs, and Gham suggests trying out the Ouija board

so she goes into the entryway of the cabin, kind of in the middle of it so I can see from the door, tells me to stay outside to see if I can see the ghost if/when it spawns

I can hear her reading off whatever the ghost spelled on the board, but couldn't quite make out what it was since I was outside (that board. terrified. me. I Was Not gonna be in the house when it got used)

then I hear her suddenly go "...polo? oh marco!" short pause filled with giggles "marco!" the door slams in my face and it starts hunting her

I book it to the truck to watch the emf board thingy, and shout out through the radio when the hunt's over. I run back to open the door, see Gham leave her hiding place and start running toward me-

then the door slams in my face again

(my poor character probably has a broken nose by this point, I was literally standing One The Threshold both times getting ready to run into the house)

I watch the board from the truck again, Gham somehow survives the second hunt, and books it out of the house the second I give the all-clear

I took a look through the doorway before we left, and the board was shattered, the pieces scattered all over the entryway, we decide to nope it out of there and leave (and we got our first ghost type right!)

later on, sitting in the lobby after an investigation, she casually goes "oh yeah, the Ouija board started spelling "polo" at me! so I said "marco" and it spelled "polo" again. so I said "marco" again and it started hunting"

me: "....the ghost TROLLED YOU????"

the next house, we found a monkey paw, which can grant wishes

we figure out the ghost is a myling (I nearly jumped out of my skin for the emf5 btw. I was crouched next to the piano looking at the ghost writing when it smacked the keyboard to make a bunch of horrible notes. tbh I'm surprised I even had the idea to swap to the emf reader it scared me so bad)

so naturally, Gham goes "...wanna try out the monkey paw?"

so she stands right inside the doorway while I'm outside of it watching her

her wish: "I wish to see the ghost"

instantly, the door shuts in my face (.....again), the hunt is on, and Gham revealed to me later that she was frozen in fear so just stood in front of the door. just seconds after the hunt started, I could hear her dying on the other side of the door

door opens, I grab the paw

my wish: "I wish for life"

insta-death

BUT Gham is revived, books it back to the truck, yells at me over radio to choose myling, and leaves (I didn't know I could die when I rezzed Gham, but she'd bought everything for that round beside like the flashlights and some of the cameras, so Worth It to save the stuff)

last but not least

we go to an easier house to finish up the night. we'd had three in a row right, so we just wanted to get Gham to level up again to finally be able to get our hands on the salt

everything's going fine, I'm bringing in my setup stuff to the kitchen where we discovered it was, and as I'm walking in I hear it writing in the book. perfect! ghost writing down, that narrows down our list

I set up DOTs and a camera, leave and come back with Another DOTs and camera to put on the other side of the kitchen, then eventually return with UV and a spirit box

not having luck with UV, because it's touching everything BUT the doors

anyway Gham goes out to get more supplies, I turn off the lights, turn on the spirit box, start circling the kitchen, asking questions-

spirit box answer

I yelp and yeet the spirit box on the floor while it's still on

me, over radio, Very Strained: "we got spirit box"

Gham, snickering: "noted"

me: "that thing is HORRIBLE"

Gham: "yeaaahhhh"

we're pretty sure it's a spirit by that point, pairing the evidence with the van's emf screen (which I'm. learning not to fully trust now)

unfortunately, I DC

so I tune in to Gham's stream on discord, and she decides to start playing with the tarot cards

starts pulling cards and then immediately backs out of the door

gets a few that either don't do anything, or trigger small events-

and then the hunt starts and she doesn't back out in time

runs to the nearest closet and hides there as it hunts

and hunts

and hunts

over and over, footsteps go up and down through the house, throwing things all the while

by that point she's probably at like 0 sanity because of the cards and constant hunting/being in a dark closet

she runs out at one point, opens the door, it immediately locks again and she books it back to the closet

at one point, I'm listening to the ghost and kinda go, more to myself "...that sounds like a poltie [poltergeist]" because I noticed how many things were being yeeted while it hunted. her camera nods super rapidly in agreement

eventually, she runs out again and just barely makes it out, the door slamming shut behind her to the point she literally phased through it partially. she'd managed to reach it in like the five second window it had between hunts after looking at the van emf. we're pretty sure it was just one hunt after another by that point

unfortunately with the stress of what was happening, I think she totally forgot about my comment on it being a poltergeist, since she still had spirit selected and got it wrong

I wasn't even there bc I disconnected and my heart was thundering and hands shaking

such a fun game but my poor heart

[cyborgchickenbanana]

Good evening. Well, it’s about my bedtime where I am. I’m not sure who will be reading my blog. Maybe my friends, if they find this. Or if I tell them. Perhaps strangers will be reading this, but I hope the type of strangers I could be friends with. 

So, friend, if I may call you that, I have this impulsive urge to tell you things. I feel that tumblr offers an intimacy other platforms are ignorant to. I’m not sure how else to explain things. I have this primal desire to be known and possibly even praised, but I am a devotee of privacy.

This all sounds pretentious. The way I’m writing right now. How silly. Anyway, you should know I keep a diary. My goal for 2022 was to journal everyday and I ended up filling 4 journals documenting my life and I’d like to do that again this year. I say I have a diary rather than a journal is because I want to cling to this idea of teenagehood and also because starting all my rants with “dear diary” makes me laugh a little.

I guess the real reason I’m writing this right now rather than doing things that would make sense is that, well, let me think of how to explain. I think I mentioned in a past post my mom put restrictions on my phone? So I’m using an old Chromebook to access tumblr and I opened up Instagram today. I haven’t checked Instagram in a couple months. I only use it to pretend to be social with people from my school. People keep asking why I stopped using Instagram and I’ve been blaming it on the person who convinced me to download the app in the first place. But the point is I opened Insta and I even posted some pictures to prove I’m living and alive. Looking at other people’s posts didn’t exactly make me happy, though, so I guess I don’t miss it as much as I thought I did. I saw selfies from the person who convinced me to get Instagram and TikTok a while ago. We don’t talk now. They look happy which is cool. It just gave me this mix of nostalgia (although, it’s only been about two months since we stopped talking) and loneliness (I tend to feel like an outsider in most situations).

Can I tell you more things about myself? I love glitter gel pens. I prefer to write notes with blue ink and assessments in black. I need three pillows to sleep or else my back aches but only use one blanket. I love coffee but I like it with lots of creamer. I prefer low top shoes over high tops. I eat saltines by the sleeve-ful, peanut butter by the spoonful, and caramels in slow savory bites. I like collecting rain water, especially in the summer. I’ve been told I make a small noise when I smile for pictures.

Okay, okay. That was very much. Thank you for listening--er, reading. I hope next time I’ll have a clearer direction for my post.
