*And people are wrong about urban myths. Logic and reason say that these are fictional creations, retold again and again by people who are hungry for evidence of weird coincidence, natural justice and so on. They aren’t. They keep on happening all the time, everywhere, as the stories bounce back and forth across the universe ... Urban myths are alive.

Can I request pretty boy or new kings please?

WIP Wednesday 12-27-23 (Closed) | New Kings AU

Kevin can't really argue that and soon enough they find themselves entering into a side building. Wymack smiles at the receptionist who smiles back, "We're here to see Coach Hernandez." Wymack says.

"Oh, I didn't know he was expecting anyone." The receptionist says eyes falling on Kevin and narrowing as if she thought she might recognize him. Kevin just offered a press smile back.

"We're here to talk about offering a position to one of his players." Kevin says and the receptionist perks up instantly.

"Oh! How exciting! I'll ring him so he can come get you and you can all talk back at his office. We really have been doing well this season." she says. "Why, we had some big famous school come for one of our players just two days ago." she adds.

Despite living in New York, there was something the two of them enjoyed about the cheesy Olive Garden smack dab in Times Square. They shared headphones on the subway, listening to their favorite songs, pinkies linked as they made their way towards the tourist capital of their home - the waitresses even knew them by name, bringing over two baskets of breadsticks with their drinks. "Sadie has a new toy," she confided once they were comfortable in their booth, knowing she couldn't keep the secret from Ari ( as if Sadie would ever expect her to. ) "Or, more appropriately, I think Sadie is the toy - I told her we'd help out with the drama department to make sure she doesn't get sacrificed."

In a mere instant Ari's unorganized thoughts are all focused on Savannah, she had a way of drawing all her attention whether she wanted to or not. "Oh, my god yes. After today's practice I'd very much like to carboload, thank you very much."

What last minute gas station gifts would the bats buy for someones birthday?

Dick: a snow globe but instead of snow it's glittery water because half of Louisiana sits below sea level

Jason: an overpriced wooden deer antler because Minnesota Nice is more like Minnesota Passive-Aggressive That Digs Into Your Conscience

Tim: a coupon book for the car wash even though they both know they're not going back to Idaho

Damian: a local author's book on gardening because he's not gonna find anything else in rural Manitoba

Duke: off-brand Gatorade near Area 51 with warnings for children and people who are pregnant

Cullen: a mixtape from a guy in the parking lot claiming to need the money to get to Nashville even though it's not that far and $8 is the exact same price as a pack of cigarettes

Stephanie: maple syrup in a pretty leaf-shaped bottle so no one pays attention to the fact that it was produced in Albuquerque and does not in fact contain any maple syrup

Cassandra: Gary Gator, a plushie dressed exactly how you'd expect for a Fort Lauderdale gas station mascot

Barbara: the exact same novelty license plate sold at every gift shop across Pennsylvania

Harper: a t-shirt for some place called Salty Moe's Burger Bucket off of I-94 just outside Eau Claire

Carrie: taffy from the fifth place claiming to be America's oldest candy shop even though Arizona was the 47th state to join the union

Kate: room temperature beer from a 100 square foot place claiming to be the best rest stop in Eastern Montana

Alfred: a gun 'cause it's Texas but also because he can appreciate a historically accurate replica

Selina: cash from the ATM after the asshole manager refused to do something as simple as giving her directions to Boston

Bruce: the gas station even though there's no point trying to drive in NYC

New York State of Mind - part one

bodega owner!joel x f!reader

summary: After a night out with your friends, you stumble into Beldro’s Deli for some late night snacks, immediately becoming enamored with the owner, Joel.

You stumble out onto the street with your friends after a night out with your friends at the Brooklyn Mirage. You’re with your best friends; Jessica, Nathaniel and Charlotte— all four of you New York natives. It’s been a successful evening, each of you getting completely trashed and now ready for the next stage of a night out; the drunk snacks. 

The nighttime air is humid and heavy, a stark contrast from the blasting AC in the club. Your friend orders an Uber back to Green Point on her phone, each of you preferring the quick twelve minute car ride over a forty five minute drunken stupor back to your neighborhood. 

You’re relatively new to this area anyway, having lived in mainly Manhattan your whole life. The Uber back to your neighborhood was lively, each of you talking about what snacks you were going to get. The driver drops you off at a street corner you’re unfamiliar with and before you can panic Jessica points across the street and shouts, “Boom, a bodega. There we go. If I don’t get takis inside me in the next ten minutes I’ll scream.”

“Girl, if you scream I’m walking away and pretending I don’t know you,” Nathaniel laughs. 

“I’m pretending I don’t know all of you. You’re all so fucking loud,” you laugh, powerwalking across the crosswalk ahead of them. 

You look up at the sign above the green awning; Beldro’s Deli. You’ve never been to this one before. Gotta get familiarized with the neighborhood somehow right?

You walk inside and the cool air smacks you in the face. Your friends pile in behind you, already acting like fools. You look over at the man at the counter; furrowed eyebrows, dark brown hair that’s going gray, white t-shirt that’s so tight his biceps are straining the fabric of the sleeves. And your attention is fixated on him for approximately five seconds until you notice the cat sitting on the ATM machine next to the counter. 

“Look at this precious little baby!” you drunkenly shout, walking over to the cat and scratching its chin. So much for you not acting like a fool. 

“What’s its name?” you ask, glancing over at the strange man at the counter. 

“Her name is Cat,” he says gruffly. 

“Cat?! That’s a terrible name,” you say, running your hand along her back. 

“What about Muffin? Frito? Little Debbie??” Charlotte says coming up behind you. 

“Okay now you’re just lifting off stuff that’s in here,” you laugh, “How about… Ellie?”

“Ooh yeah she looks like an Ellie,” Charlotte says. 

“You’re welcome. We just named your cat for you,” you say, looking back at the man. 

“She’s not my cat,” he responds. This time you detect a southern drawl in his voice. He’s not from here. 

“She lives in your store,” you shrug, “She’s your cat.”

“Whatever you say,” he says, shaking his head. 

Charlotte turns to scan the aisles and Jessica and Nathaniel start to check out with their snacks in hand. As for you, you stay by the ATM machine petting Ellie and watching the man scan your friends’ items; watching the way his hands grip things and his biceps stretching the already tight fabric and the veins on his forearms bulging and- Shit, you got it bad. 

“Aren’t you gonna get something?” Charlotte asks, finished making her selections. 

“Y-yeah hang on,” you say, removing your hand from Ellie as hard as it is.

You scan the aisles and pick a bag of cool ranch Doritos and a can of Arizona green tea from the cooler. You walk back to the counter and see your friends are waiting outside for you. You put your stuff on the counter to check out. Now that you’re face to face with the man you can read his name tag; Joel. 

He puts your items in a bag and hands it over to you. 

“Don’t worry about it, sugar.”

“Wh-what? No way,” you say, reaching for your purse to pull out cash. 

He puts a hand up and says, “Just take it.”

“If you’re sure… Thanks,” you say, grabbing the bag and going to leave.

“Have a good night, sugar,” he says, the southern twang just dripping from his voice that time. 

“Thanks, you too,” you say, before heading out the door and meeting your friends on the street. 

“Okay, is it just me or… Was he kinda hot?” you ask, wincing in anticipation of their responses. 

“Girl, no,” Jessica says, shaking her head. 

“I think you’re just lonely,” Nathaniel laughs. 

“Shut up! I am not,” you say, getting a little defensive, “He had that older, mysterious man vibe.”

“Nah, he was just a creep,” Charlotte says, shaking her head. 

You roll your eyes and Jessica teases, “Sorry, you’re never living this down.”

They tease you all the way back to your building where they bid you a good night. And with that, you all go your separate ways. As you lay in bed with your Doritos and Arizona tea you think of Joel and ask yourself— is he really a creep? 

He charged your friends for their stuff but not yours. That’s all he really did that could be considered creepy but your friends weren’t even there to witness that. 

Is it just because he’s southern? It could be that. Your friends are sometimes New York elitists to put it nicely…

You go to bed that night thinking of Ellie and decide that if anything… you should get a cat. 

-

You wake up the next morning feeling groggy and hungover. The morning light peeking in through your bedroom window gives you an instant headache. You sit up and pinch the bridge of your nose. You decide you need Gatorade and Ibuprofen. You pull out your phone and search for drugstores in your area and your mind lingers to something else… Joel the bodega man and his cat. Giving Ellie belly rubs would help cure your hangover…

You sigh and get out of the bed, slipping out of last night’s dress and putting on a t-shirt, a pair of shorts, a baseball cap and sneakers. But before you leave your apartment you grab your sunglasses because you’re definitely going to need them as you walk. It’s a miracle you’re even walking to Beldro’s anyway. 

You head out to the street and follow the directions on your phone, passing a Duane Reade on the way… It would be easier and so much more convenient to just go there but you’re too entranced by the bodega man’s biceps and his sweet cat.

WHERE DO U GET UR CLOTHESSSS pls any recommendations i love everything about your style and i live in fuck ass kansas so thrifting stuff like that is non existent

hiii yeah so. i don't tend to thrift that much either, here in beautiful. southern connecticut, finding plus sized clothing that is colorful and cute is. a bit of a war so most of my stuff i get online. as always, i really reccomend you go check out cybr.grl's brand reccomendation videos on youtube- she's way better than i am for highlighting different countries and pricepoints and seems to be. much better at finding stuff than me in general lol.

but the two online stores i go to the most are definitly candy trap and kei collective, the latter being a lot of different brands sold by the same shop (they have a physical store in arizona i'd love to go to someday). Lucy and Yak made my favorite pair of overalls, Fashion brand company made my favorite dress. I built my wardrobe up over several years but keep in mind a lot of these brands are a bit pricy due to them being smaller and usually run by one or two people. I'd say candy trap isn't the highest quality i've bought, but it's honestly not all too bad and has gotten better over the years. for shoes, i like yru a bit but honestly i wayyyy prefer koi footwear and have my most pairs by them. hmmm. i also have a fair bit of stuff from kirakirakarakasa and ocean in space, but ocean in space is really best for their tshirts over anything else i've bought from them imo. acdcrag is a decora staple, but their plus sizes are pretty limited and shipping is pretty pricy even if the individual items seem pretty fair priced. that's mostly what i can reccomend atm

[poured-my-past-down-the-drain]

I usually just drink things like water and soda :)) but sometimes we have this fun apple cider stuff at Q’s!!! It’s like apple juice, and I love apples a lot <3 just a little fizzy.

(ooc: hiii! hello again, u know the drill how are you lovely human?)

fave soda why and least fave soda + why?

(Ooc: hiiii 🥰 a bit better than earlier. Still sore but now I have some sweet tea :] and games to play. And found some ideas for recipes to try next week!!! I’m not great at cooking but I’m trying to get better <3)

I LOVE things like Dr Pepper and Ginger ale 🥰 it’s yummy and tangy and fun.

I don’t like… club soda as much 🤔 it can be good in things like Italian soda drinks. But oh it’s own it’s kind of bleh :\

🌼 for Clarette

Damn, I really forgot the OC asks! Sadly I am not in the mood to draw at the moment, so have old artworks atm.

"Is there an official confession scene between the two of them?"

Indeed! It is displayed in Pending Subject (I still love that fic). The one who really confesses is Clarette, and Dude quickly catches the hint.

It's a shame that Clarette finds out the Dude is gone once she came back from Phoenix. She thinks he got scared and abandoned her due to the Bitch's influence, although she ignores that the city of Paradise suffered an atomical fallout and the Dude is deeply in coma somewhere in Arizona (this is canon btw)

Honestly this ship is destined to be angsty as fuck. I really had fun back in these months I worked on the fic, but their love won't ever be possible...

However, I would love to draw them again someday.
