okay, okay ep. 5 & 6: holy shit that was one hell of a ride wasn't it? (maybe whoever is reading this also saw my panicked posts from wednesday, yes I was losing my mind)
I'll try to do this as structured as possible but I can't promise anything so prepare for it to be just as all over the place as wednesday's episodes.. get ready, buckle up I have a lot of things to say:
first and foremost: FUCK YOU TAEHYUNG!! I was trying to be nice last time giving him a second chance and all because yk, I thought maybe just because he was annoying once, doesn't mean he has to be all the time but fuck was I wrong.. is he genuinely so stupid that he doesn't realize how his words affect jaewon or does he just straight up choose to ignore it?? or is it simply the mixture of both because wtf dude?? this guy is so blinded by his jealousy it's crazy like bro, how about you try and make it less obvious?? and considering how angry and uncomfortable he makes me (and jaewon) I was sooo glad jihyun and aeri were there and so happy to see they quickly picked up on how jaewon reacted and then decided to team up against taehyung (rightfully so)
especially jihyun (my cute little bean) was so attentive the entire time he really took one look at jaewon and immediately recognized something was off.. and because he was watching him so closely his reaction to jaewon slamming his hand on the table came almost naturally
moving on to aeri, I still think she's a bit much but that's probably because I'm introverted as fuck and she's clearly not.. I do really like her and jihyun's dynamic and loved their little class-skipping-shopping-sequence like you go besties!!
back to the junior-senior get together: that cut to jaewon being absolutely wasted was kinda scary and really shows how much he's struggling with everything and that he doesn't know how to properly cope with it.. and this little part of dialogue really stuck with me so once again props to jihyun for this simple yet very deep response
"you're not acting like yourself."
"hey, what is 'acting like myself'?"
"that's up to you."
I just feel like jaewon never heard something like this, he always had to fit into this box that the people around him created for him so someone saying who you are is up to you is complete news to him
harsh cut to jaewon waking up and the flashback with his brother: that shit hurt!! for some reason I expected his brother to be closer to him age wise (not that this would make him dying any less horrible) but when I saw jaewon with this little boy that just shattered me and jaewon just sitting there sobbing and desperately trying to put the camera back together was so painful to watch
skip to the beginning of episode 6: the scene of them in the car was also kinda hard to watch seeing jaewon so out of it like he wasn't even fully there (a quick round of applause for lim jisub who portrays this haunted look very well) apart from that I really liked that even though jaewon didn't answer jihyun's question he didn't let go and kept asking until eventually he gets an answer from jaewon
and now we're at a point where things started to get a little confusing for me:
while watching I felt like something was off, I couldn't pinpoint what it was (most of the time my brain has all the pieces of information but I can't put them together) but the episode felt different and then I saw a post on here (I tried not to read too much because I wanted most of this post to be my own impression) that said we might be seeing everything from jaewon's blurry, medication induced view which is why some things don't seem to add up and I think that's true or at least somewhat close to what was happening
I was actually debating which route to go with because so many possibilities about what was actually happening in ep. 6 came to my mind at first I actually thought jaewon might've overdosed in the car and ep. 6 didn't happen at all but were a hallucination or nightmare (what made me think that was the weirdly bright lighting and everything looking kinda blurry which always was an indicator of a dream or something unreal happening in any sort of media I've ever seen) but I don't think so anymore I would actually go with what I mentioned above and this blurry look comes from jaewon's medication
OOOR they chose this lighting to show how this entire trips feels like a dream because it's only jaewon and jihyun, completely separated from other people and far from their actual lives so of course that feels somewhat dream like
what I'm trying to say is: I don't think the entire episode was fake
I think making it all fake would be a waste of an episode and judging from the rest of the show so far it doesn't really seem like something the creators would do.. I think?? (maybe that's why I want some of the theories here to be true so bad because I don't want this episode to be wasted as a dream or whatever)
I would also agree with others that jihyun is probably fine, maybe a little shaken and scared but not physically hurt.. I think we see the accident happen from jaewon's pov and he's imagining it way worse than it is
nonetheless that shit scared me, how the entire mood switched and went so dark all of a sudden and then jaewon screaming jihyun's name.. I think the worst part were the silent credits and damn, that silence was loud.. let's just say, I cried..
alright, I think that's it.. I kind of lost focus in the end so idk if I actually said everything I wanted to but I think I covered most of it

The courting gift.
Thing: What about a diamond?
Wednesday: Don't be ridiculous Thing, Enid is worth more than any mere dia-
Thing: Oh no, i know that look.
Wednesday: Thing you are a genius.
Thing: ...This isn't going to end well.
1 Hour Later...
Wednesday: Enid, a family matter has arisen that i must attend to, I will be back by the end of the weekend.
Enid: Uh yeah sure, everything okay?
Wednesday: (Pause) Yes, it cannot wait. Don't wait up and if i shan't return, burn this school down and everyone inside.
Enid: Wow... you're such a psychopath! (Giggles)
Wednesday:
Wednesday: Flattery will... it won't... (Sigh) Los halagos no te llevarán a ninguna parte cuando ya me has capturado, en cuerpo, mente y alma.
Enid: (Smiling widely) I Love you too!
Wednesday: (Quietly) Do not jest with your words Mi loba.
Two Days Later...
Enid is stood in the common room of Ophelia Hall, watching the news with Yoko and Divinia.
News Presenter: ...We have some upsetting breaking news, The Tower of London was broken into last night where thieves took the Koh i noor, a diamond that was set in the crown of the Queen Mother. With an estimated value of Three Hundred Million Pounds, the jewel is said to be priceless. The Metropolitan Police in conjunction with Palace officials have confirmed that currently there are no suspects, this is without doubt one of the greatest heists in history, although authorities are baffled that only one item was taken.
Enid: Wow... what kind of person would steal from a dead woman's crown. (Shaking her head) Anyway laters, Wednesday is due back at any moment!
Yoko: (Grinning) Like a puppy eagerly awaiting their owners return at the door.
Enid: (Blushing) Shut up. Anyway i'll see you later!
Enid rushes up a flight of stairs, two steps at a time, a bounce in her step. She had missed Wednesday. She had missed her so much. She pushes open the door making Wednesday flinch.
Enid: Wends!
Wednesday: (Turning around sharply, hiding something behind her back) Mi loba.
Enid: (Narrowing her eyes.) What's behind your back?
Wednesday: ...Nothing.
Enid folds her arms with a pointed glare and tilt of her head.
Wednesday sighs, knowing she can't lie to Enid, not anymore, brings the item in front of her.
Enid: Wednesday... please tell me you have a really, really good reason for having the fucking Koh-i-noor in our dorm room???
Wednesday: (Weakly) I stole it for you. I planned to give it to you this coming full Moon. To court you.
Enid:
Enid: Wends... all you had to do was ask me out for a coffee or something, not commit the greatest heist in living history! (Tearily) But oh em gee, you did this? for me?
Wednesday: I would do anything for you, my fierce, fluorescent wolf.
Enid: (Preening and blushing) Oh my gosh... I'm going to have to get used to that huh?
Wednesday: (Striding forwards) As long as I breathe every breath will be spent making sure you never feel unloved ever again.
Enid: (Squeaking as Wednesday gets within several inches of Enid's face)
Enid: You...I...uh... you love me?
Thing:
Thing: Oh fer fuck sake, just propose already!
45 Mins later...
Thing: These lesbians, i can't anymore. They keep making googly eyes at each other from across the room and smiling, a hand can only stand to watch so much you know?
Weems: Wait... Wednesday AND Enid???
Thing: YES!
Weems: Wednesday smiling?
Thing: YES!
Weems: (Muttering) God help us all...
(The Koh-i-noor is never found)

박성훈 – alluring me
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
word count: 2k
COMING BACK FOR MORE?
It seemed to be a loud night in the usual quiet town. The rain drops were slipping down your window, worsening the view outside. You were not much of a rain person, rather you enjoyed sunny mornings so you can be that "girl" they call. Either way, it wasn't morning in first place, so why would you care?
Oh, maybe because you were supposed to leave your apartment room in the following 20 minutes, your friend almost pulling up to pick you up. Nightclub she said. Now, whether you were going to enjoy it or not, you'll have to see, but one thing is sure: you weren't going to let yourself get drunk and end up in a stranger's bed by next morning.
At least not this way.
You were good to go. Makeup on point, clothes suiting your perfectly, golden jewellery around your neck cause you were expensive. The only thing that was missing was some cash and a hot boyfriend to bring with you. But you can't have everything in the world. At worst, you could ask Lia to lend you some money until next paycheck, so you could enjoy a cheap mocktail.
Making sure to lock the front door, you walked to the parking spot, waiting for your friend to arrive as well. Fortunately, it didn't take her too long, as the dark blue Audi made its way in, stopping in front of you. "Hi babe!" Lia shouted, as the car window went down, revealing a tipsy blondie.
"Are you drunk driving again?" you chuckled and walked around the car, getting the door open and stepping in. "Me? Drunk? Y/N! What are you talking about?" said she, while not being able to hide a hiccup. The two of you just laughed, while Lia drove out of the parking spot, speeding up on the lonely road. There was barely anyone, and most probably, there won't be any interesting person at the club either. It wasn't the biggest town, for sure, so there was no reason in trying to aim highly.
Luckily, the club wasn't so far, which made everything just perfect. Less likely to be engaged in an accident, given Lia's condition. The blondie parked, horribly though, in front of the ordinary looking nightclub, and threw her keys somewhere in the back. "Just in case I feel like car sex later, it's better to leave the car unlocked"
"You are crazy" you said, jokingly pushing her shoudler. Lia chuckled, leaving the car and inhaling the fresh air outside, and you did the same. Not long until your nose will only inhale cigarette smoke, so you may as well take advantage of the situation. The two of you stepped in, looking around for someone familiar. Yet it seemed like there was no one you would know.
You made it to the bar, barely being able to hear each other. The music was deafening, much louder than you've expected. Lia seemed to enjoy, though. Judging by her facial expression, she was going to leave you immediately for that hottie she noticed walking around. Typical. Shouldn't you do the same though?
"Hey, Lia, do you think you can give me some cash until Wednesday? Just so I don't awkwardly beg someone to buy me a drink"
"Oh, babe, I'm so sorry! I don't have anything on me. I'm counting on that sexy lad!" she said, pointing to a blonde guy, accompanied by another blonde person. Or was it the other she pointed at? They looked very similar, so no point in trying to guess. "Ah, thank you anyway" you smiled at her.
And just as thought, Lia slyly disappeared from the picture, seeing her next to the two guys, seductively touching their arms. She was so funny. But you couldn't deny, she was so good at this. Definitely better than you. You turned around to the barman, with doe eyes.
"What can I get you, young lady?"
"Anything on the house, please" you tried to make it less awkward by laughing away, elegantly, but it didn't seem to work. "I'm sorry, darling, drinks cost money. If you lack any, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can't get you anything"
"Loser," you mumbled.
You walked away in annoyance, fixing your relatively short denim skirt. Maybe not the best cloth choice for a night out, but it was so cute! So was your sleeveless white top, revealing a hot cleavage, put in the light by the delicate necklace.
"You alone, pretty girl?" you heard a sensual voice from your left side, turning your head to witness maybe one of the most beautiful faces you've ever seen before.
The guy was wearing a black button up shirt, with the first 3 unbuttoned, and the sleeves rolled up. His messy dark hair and rosy lips looked so perfect in contrast with his white skin. He was sitting down on a white sofa, resting his back on the piece of furniture, with his legs slightly opened.
"Depends on who asks"
That sounded better in your head, but after you let it aloud, you felt so stupid.
"Mhm," he groaned, looking down and chuckling. "I see, pretty girl"
The dark-haired guy grabbed your wrist, pulling you closer, on the spare seat next to him. He smelt so fucking good. He had this kind of screaming sweet scent mixed with some vanilla. Closer now, you could analyse his face so much better. His dark eyes were shining in the multicolour club lights, and his skin was so smooth, at least it looked like it. You didn't dare to touch it.
"What does the pretty girl like to drink?"
"A mocktail would be perfect for me"
He softly giggled at your answer, as his left hand grabbed your chin and turned you closer to him, making eye contact. There they were again, his blinding eyes. "We both know you will get drunk on me later, so what about you start getting yourself ready with a nice set of shots for an even nicer doll?"
You gulped, taken aback by the tension he created. He was so much for it. And the closer he got, the more you got high on his perfume. It was so addictive. Where the hell did he come from? A fairytale? He was much too perfect for this fucked up world.
"I guess that works too" you answered, pulling your skirt down while not breaking the eye contact.
He looked down, sensing your movement. "Don't worry princess, you are alright" his hand was now touching your bare calf, going up your leg at a slow pace, making his way to your outer thigh. His touch made you tremble, it felt so wrong but so good at the same time. Where was the promise you made before you left? Probably somewhere lost, as the guy's hand went up to invading your personal space way too much now.
"I don't thin-"
"You don't think what?" he interrupted you promptly, his fingers teasing gently against the lingerie material. "Let the thinking to me, dollface. You just be good." Using his index and middle fingers, he kept going in circular motions. Before you knew it, you were on his lap, being aroused by his skillful fingers.
Your faces were so close, but he didn't kiss you. He only stared at your perfect looking face, whilst his fingers slipped under your panties, playfully touching your clit. You bit your lower lip in response, holding your moan back. He noticed that, and came closer to your lips. "You wish I'd kiss you so you could moan into my mouth, don't you?"
You gulped again, feeling his hot breath on your dry lips. He seemed like such a good kisser, but why didn't he want to show it to you? Because he was a tease. And he wanted you to earn in. Or shall you just make the next step? You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him down until your lips touched together. Fuck, even for the first second, he tasted so good. What was this man made out of?
You could feel the smile that was born on his face at your action. With his spare hand, the dark-haired guy held your back close to him. His fingers were now exploring more of you, teasing your entrance that was already dripping wet. He was making you so needy, and that was more than obvious. He kissed you hard, devouring your mouth, he seemed so famished, desiring you so much. You felt overwhelmed, and when you expected it least, both of his fingers were sliding inside you, making you whine inside his mouth, just as he previously said.
"Good girl" he tried to say in between kissing, keeping on being so hungry for your taste. His fingers went in and out your pussy, causing you to moan again. The hand that was supposed to hold your back went up to your hair and pulled it down, making you face the ceiling as his lips went down your neck "Now moan aloud too, princess"
Not that anyone could have heard you, the deafening music and the smoke around could barely make out what's going on around. But the simple thought of you getting caught was arousing him. Reason why his fingers moved faster inside you, and deeper, making you bite your lips hard. In response, he bit a tiny part of your neck, and pulled your hair harder. His fingers curled inside you, touching continously your G-spot, finally making you let a loud moan out.
He was so proud.
"Good girl, come for me" he whispered, pushing your head back up and going back to making out with you, while his fingers went back to deep and precise motions. His tongue played with yours in a little battle that he won. All the odds were on his side. He had you coming for him, the dark-haired guy not giving you a break. He needed to stop, you really couldn't handle all that. It was too much for you.
It seemed that he almost read your mind, cause as soon as you thought that, he took his fingers out, cleaning them by your chest, covering it in your liquor. "Tight" he said, biting your lips one more time before backing up. That felt so fucking good. You were so out of breath, leaning on his chest. You thought you shouldn't do this, given that he is not your boyfriend. Isn't it normal to just leave when this finishes?
But he was so warm, and you were so stupid.
"You come here often, darling?" he asked, going back to being a gentleman.
He lit up a cigarette, blowing the smoke on the opposite side of you. He offered you one, but you refused. Not quite your thing. But he looked so sexy smoking that shit. So fine. So perfect. And you wish he could have been yours.
"Not really. But if you do, I will have a change of heart"
He chuckled, taking another smoke from the cigarette. Putting your hair behind your ear, he grabbed your cheek with two fingers and acted just like an old lady seeing her nephews. "You are so cute"
You still couldn't move on from what just happened. And even though he stopped a while ago, you could still feel the pleasure your pussy was in. So fucking good.
"What's your name?" you asked, hopeful.
"Does that change a thing? You don't need these details"
"I need you, though" that made him smile.
He gave you a short kiss, a last one, and got up from the white-leathered sofa. "I'm sorry, pretty girl, but I'd need to have you gone if you knew my name." He fixed his button up shirt, and threw the cigarette in the ashtray. You felt so disappointed. How could you let him go so easily?
"How about next Saturday at the same time, in the same place?" you tried shooting your shot one last time.
He didn't say a word. However, he winked at you and then made his way out. That was all you needed. Now, sitting alone in the lonely club, you were so lost in your thoughts. Wow. Just wow. Lia finally made her way to you, way too drunk, and fell next to you. She didn't say a word, but let a sigh out.
"Can you drive home, Y/N?"
But you couldn't answer. You were only thinking about him. Anyway,
how long until next week?

I Can't Help Falling in Love With You
wednesday addams x reader — 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: you took your girlfriend on a date, one she will remember for a long time to come. warnings/themes: FLUFF!! softwednesday (???), reader is a simp, (who's not? it's WEDNESDAY ADDAMS) slow dancing, making out. words: 4.5k note: LMAO THIS GOT ME GIGGLING WHILE I WROTE THIS! i think y'all need some fluff before i write another angsty one again.. 🏃
Tumblr media
You raced over to Wednesday's dormitory as the clock struck midnight. You reached to her door, you gently rapped your knuckles against it, patiently waiting for someone to answer. 
After a few long seconds of silence, the door slowly creaked open, revealing Enid, Wednesday's roommate and a dear friend of yours. 
With a sense of urgency in her voice, she greeted you with a "Wednesday, faster! Y/N is here." She flashed you a panicked smile and added, "I told Principal Weems you're both sick, so she won't come looking for you."
You immediately understood the reason for Enid's stress and took a moment to appreciate her for saving your ass. "Thank you, Enid." 
Eventually, Wednesday approached you, and you couldn't help but notice how stunningly beautiful she looked. She noticed your stunned expression and rolled her eyes, breaking the tension.
Enid gave you a wink before closing the door, leaving you on your own. You picked up Wednesday's bag in one hand and offered her your arm. She rolled her eyes again, took your offer, and off you went. Wednesday followed you through the school gates and out into the night.
Wednesday couldn't keep her curiosity at bay any longer, and she asked you, "Okay, where are you taking me?"
With a grin, you replied, "I don't want to ruin the surprise." You could see the cogs turning in her mind, but she decided not to press the matter for now.
You made your way to a car parked on the street. "Where did you get the car? It's not stolen, is it?" She immediately asked, her voice both emotionless and full of underlying curiosity. 
"No, my love. It's my uncle's car. He let me borrow it for our date." Wednesday watched as you placed her bag in the trunk and walked around to open the passenger door for her, leaning your head back to give her room to get inside.
She didn't say anything but rolled her eyes one last time before sliding into the car's leather seat. You climbed into the driver's seat, started the engine, and opened the radio.
"That better not be a pop song." You laughed at her and responded, "Too bad, it is."
The catchy beat of Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift filled the car, and you began singing along at the top of your lungs, your voice sounding surprisingly in tune.
"Come on, love," you teased, leaning over to her and grinning. Wednesday's lips twitched slightly, almost as if she was fighting back a smile. But she didn't give in, just shook her head and rolled her eyes again. 
Despite her lack of enthusiasm, she sat in silence as you sang along to the pop song. 
She was clearly not a fan of the song and was probably wishing she was listening to something else, but she said nothing. She didn't want to insult you or your musical tastes and was willing to listen to whatever music you liked, even if it wasn't her favorite.
You drove on for what seemed like hours, your eyes growing heavy as your eyelids drooped more and more with each passing moment. 
The traffic was at a standstill, and the noise of the engine and the honking of horns from other drivers was starting to grate on your nerves. 
Despite the chaos around you, you couldn't help but feel peaceful and content as you looked over at Wednesday, who slept peacefully next to you.
Her gentle breaths and demeanor were enough to make you forget about the traffic and the stress of the situation, and for a moment, everything seemed okay. 
You couldn't imagine being anywhere else but right here by her side, even if it meant enduring the monotony of the stop-and-go traffic.
You reached over to the backseat and grabbed a pillow, placing it gently under her head. You wanted to make sure she was comfortable and that she was taken care of while she rested.
After enduring the never-ending road and traffic, you arrived at your destination, and then you saw a sight that was well worth the trouble.
You were greeted by a beach house, standing majestically in the middle of the pristine white sand and surrounded by clear blue water. 
You turned to Wednesday, who was still sound asleep beside you. You gently nudged her awake and whispered softly in her ear, "Hey, love, we're here." She stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering open and looking up at you. 
You leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. 
She took in her surroundings, a look of confusion flitted across her face. "Where am I?" she murmured, her words still half-awake.
You replied reassuringly, "We're at the beach house I rented for us. I'll get the things, you stay here and rest," you said, and she nodded and leaned back against the headrest, closing her eyes. 
You leaned down one more time to kiss her forehead, stepped outside the car, opened the trunk, and started unloading your belongings.
When you were done, you opened the passenger door and held out your hand to guide Wednesday out of the car. She took your hand, and you helped her step onto the sand. 
You walked toward the beach house together, you noticed a small smirk forming on Wednesday's lips as she took in the scenery before her. 
Even on Wednesday, the often stoic and reserved Addams, couldn't help but be amazed by the beauty of the surroundings.
You led her into the beach house, where you had already set up your bedroom.
Knowing she needed some rest after the long journey, you gently helped Wednesday settle in the bedroom, watching as she lay down on the bed, her eyes closing as soon as her head hit the pillow. 
You couldn't help but admire Wednesday's beauty, even in her slumber. Her dark hair fanned out around her on the pillow, and her pale skin looked even more ivory against the colorful bedding. 
For a moment, you hesitated, wanting nothing more than to jump into the bed next to her and hold her close. You gently covered her with the blankets, whispering, "Sweet dreams, my love."
You went back and finished unloading the rest of your things. When you finished, you took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief. 
The long and strenuous journey to the beach house was finally over, and now you were both here, safe and sound.
You felt your stomach growl, reminding you that it was time for breakfast. So you steeled yourself and went to the kitchen.
You took a deep breath and began to prepare your meals, pouring the scrambled eggs and toasted bread into two bowls. You added a splash of hot sauce and some grated cheese on top, finishing off the meals with a sprinkle of parsley. 
You set the plates on the table and took a seat, feeling proud of yourself for managing to cook such a delicious meal. 
You were sipping your coffee when you suddenly heard the sound of the bedroom door creaking open. You turned your head to see Wednesday walking towards the table.
"Morning, my love," you said, standing up to greet her. You placed a kiss on her cheek and directed her towards the chair. "Sit down here, and I'll serve you breakfast. I was just about to wake you." She pulled out a chair and sat down at the table. 
You placed a plate of warm food in front of Wednesday, the scent of eggs and toast filling the air. You sat down opposite her, and you both began to dig into your breakfast.
It was simple, but it was everything you needed after such a long drive.
You and Wednesday had spent the day enjoying each other's company at your beach house, playing board games, eating delicious food, and watching movies.
It was a day filled with fun (and perhaps even a little bit of competition), but it was about to get much more interesting. 
The hours ticked by, you noticed it was already 4 PM, and with the scorching heat of the sun bearing down on you, you decided it was time for a dip in the ocean. 
Wasting no time, you hurried to your closet, choosing your favorite two-piece swimsuit, which was a sleek, figure-hugging design that highlighted your curves. On the other hand, Wednesday opted for a more conservative choice, a one-piece swimsuit that covered her body, providing maximum protection from the sun's harmful rays.
You both walked down to the beach, and you couldn't resist taking a jab at Wednesday's swimsuit. "You look like a penguin in that," you teased with a smirk, admiring her graceful poise. 
Wednesday raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes. "Say that one more time, and I'll rip your tongue out of your head," she spat back.
Feeling guilty about your comment, you tried to make amends by reaching for her hand, only to have her put it away. 
You tried again, but she pulled it away once more. "Not so fast. You've already offended me once, and I'm not one to forget easily," she said with a stern glare.
You tried to talk to her, but she ignored you, leading you to decide to tread quietly and keep following Wednesday as you both walked into the sea. 
Wednesday's resentment erupted when a random female stranger approached the two of you and asked for your phone number.
Despite the fact that she detests physical intimacy, she swiftly encircled your hand in a display of affection and dominance. 
She then marked her territory and made it known that you were hers and no one else's by giving the girl a death look until she walked away. 
You smirked, enjoying the idea that Wednesday loves you so much, and said, "Come on," as you pulled her closer to you in the water.
You and Wednesday made your way to the water, and you felt the soft sand sinking beneath your toes. The waves crashed against your body, sending a tingle of excitement through every inch of your being.
Wednesday's movements were as graceful as ever as she swam around you, with her black hair billowing behind her like a banner of victory. 
Both of you couldn't help but stare into each other's eyes, lost in the moment. You can't help but admire her features, the curve of her nose, the color of her eyes, and the way her hair flows in the water. 
It felt as though time had stopped, and the only thing that mattered was the two of you, connected by an invisible thread. 
With a mischievous smirk on your face, you couldn't resist the temptation to play around.
You took a handful of water and splashed it in her face. Wednesday's eyes widened with surprise, and you couldn't help but let out a chuckle at her reaction.
“Oh, you wanna play?" She asked, but her tone wasn't threatening or angry. Instead, it was filled with a playful edge, as though she was teasing you back.
Without hesitation, she began splashing you back, and you both were quickly engaged in an all-out water battle.
You tried to one-up each other with your splashes, but no matter how hard you tried, Wednesday seemed to always have the upper hand.
After a few minutes of fighting, you decided to take things up a notch.
Grabbing a hold of Wednesday's waist, you dipped her into the water and pulled her down with you.
She lets out a shriek of surprise as she is dragged beneath the surface. She kicks and thrashes her legs, desperate to reach the surface for air.
Finally, after what seems like an eternity, she emerges from the water, gasping for breath.
You couldn't help but let out a laugh at her wicked stare.
You noticed how beautiful she looked in the sunlight as you wiped the water from your eyes, the drops of water glistening on her skin like tiny diamonds.
Without warning, you leaned in and planted a kiss on her jaw, feeling her soft skin beneath your lips. 
"I'm going to kill you, you know that?" she says with a mischievous glint in her eye as you scramble to get away from her. 
You take off running, your heart pounding in your chest as you feel the sand and water beneath your feet.
Wednesday ran like a bolt of lightning, her legs propelling her forward at incredible speeds. You try to keep up, but it's no use, she's just too fast. 
In desperation, you raise your hand in surrender and stop running.
You stumble to a stop and sit down on the sand to catch your breath, gasping for air. 
You look up at Wednesday, still catching your breath, your chest aching with the exertion. “I didn't know penguins were this fast," you manage to gasp out between breaths.
She sits down next to you, still catching her breath as well. "You're not too fast yourself."
You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of awe as the sun dipped beneath the horizon. The sky was a vibrant canvas of color, filled with gradients of pink, purple, and gold. The beauty of the world was all around you, encapsulating every square inch of the beach and even the very air you breathed.
"Oh wow," you muttered under your breath, your eyes fixed on the sky. 
You were so entranced by the breathtaking colors of the sky, the vibrant sound of the waves crashing against the shore, and the soothing rustle of the sand that you almost forgot you were sitting beside Wednesday.
Almost, but not quite, as your peripheral vision took in the fact that she was staring at you with such intensity that you couldn't help but smile. As if she couldn't believe that such a person even existed.
You continued to stare up at the sky as the sun slowly disappeared behind the horizon, casting the sky into a beautiful shade of orange and red.
Despite the beauty of the sunset, it was you who truly captivated her.
The way your eyes mirrored the colors of the sunset was almost hypnotic, your gaze drawing her in and making it impossible to look away. 
Everything else was just noise, but the harmony of the setting sun, the sound of the waves, and your very existence were all perfectly combined. It felt like home, a place of serenity and completeness. 
It was your presence that made her heart skip a beat, your face that kept her awake at night, and your voice that she would hear in her dreams. 
Wednesday had never experienced anything like it before, a feeling so intense and overwhelming that she felt like she was falling through a tunnel, with you being the light at the end of it.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't realize how long she had been staring at you. She only snapped back to reality when you called out to her.
"What are you staring at?" you asked, noticing the intensity of her gaze.
She hesitated for a moment before responding, her voice soft and breathless. "You," she whispered.
You were about to respond when you felt your stomach growl. You looked down at your empty stomach and let out a sigh of frustration. 
Without hesitation, you got up from your seat and turned around to face Wednesday. You silently motioned for her to take your hand, and she immediately reached out and grabbed it.
You both walked along the shore, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the sand in the distance. You kissed the back of her hand, a simple yet romantic gesture that seemed to speak volumes.
You both stayed silent as you walked back towards the beach house, both of you engrossed in your own private thoughts. 
It was a comfortable silence, one that allowed both of you to simply be in each other's presence without feeling the need to fill the air with trivial conversation.
The soft hum of the radio fills the solitude of the night, and you can't help but feel a deep sense of peace and serenity sweep over you. The sound of the ocean waves crashing against the shore below and the shimmering of the stars in the night sky add to this feeling of calmness.
Suddenly, the sound of the glass door opening takes your attention away from the tranquil surroundings as Wednesday steps onto the balcony. 
With a curious expression on her face, Wednesday walks towards you and asks, "What are you doing up at such a late hour?" 
"Just admiring..." Your response may be short and vague, but it is the truth. You are simply admiring the beauty of the world around you, a world that seems to come alive during these quiet hours of the night.
She walks to the edge of the balcony, taking in the view herself, her figure illuminated by the moonlight, her silhouette framed against the vast ocean.
A/N: (I recommend playing "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" while reading this part.)
As you took in the beauty of the ocean and the night sky, the first notes of the classic Elvis song "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" started playing from the radio, and your heart began to beat a little faster.
You stepped closer to Wednesday, wrapping your arms around her waist. You can feel the warmth of her body against yours and the texture of her clothes as your arms touch them. You can hear the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, a low murmur in the background, as the radio's soft voice fills the silent air. 
She turns her head to look at you, the moonlight catching her features and illuminating her face, making her appear even more beautiful than before. 
You place your chin on her shoulder, humming along to the lyrics of the song. Wednesday, feeling the warmth of your breath in her ear, turns to face the night and the endless ocean in front of you. 
Slowly, you begin to sway her from side to side, the radio and the sound of the ocean providing a beautiful soundtrack to your dance.
The music lulls you both into a trance, and, without thinking, you lean down and kiss the back of her neck, feeling her skin against your lips, soft and warm.
Then, with a swift move, you twirled her around to face you, taking a hold of her hands and pulling her close. You held her left hand up, her right hand on your shoulder, and your left hand around her waist, pulling her closer to you. 
She squeezed your hand, your faces were inches apart. You stared deeply into her eyes, feeling the slivers of light in them reflect the depth of your love.
You didn't say a word, but your eyes told her how much you loved her without needing to speak. Your eyes tell her everything, everything you can't put into words.
The song plays on and the moon shines brightly overhead, Wednesday relaxes against you. You feel the soft warmth of her breath brushing against your skin, and it makes you feel alive in a way you never have before.
The bond that existed between you was as deep as the ocean and as vast as the sky above. You didn't need words to express how you felt, the love you felt for each other went beyond words, beyond the physical.
You lean in to kiss the crown of Wednesday's head, and you take a moment to savor the moment. 
The late-night air is crisp and cool, the sky is clear, and the ocean is sparkling under the light of the moon.
The song continues to play in the background, adding to the romantic atmosphere that you've created together. You close your eyes, feeling Wednesday's heart beating in your chest, and let the moment wash over you. 
For a moment, the rest of the world falls away, and all that exists is the two of you, standing on the balcony, holding each other close.
The day had been perfect from start to finish, filled with memories that would last you both a lifetime. As the sun set over the ocean and the day came to an end, you could feel a sense of melancholy in the air. 
It was time to head back to Nevermore, but a part of you didn't want the day to end.
You hopped into the car, with Wednesday riding shotgun. 
She was sitting in the passenger seat, reading the book she had just bought, her eyes fixed on the pages, oblivious to the world around her. 
You kept your focus on the road, though you couldn't help but steal glances at her as you drove.
Driving along, you couldn't help but let your mind wander, thinking about all the wonderful things that had happened that day. You had spent the morning exploring the shore with Wednesday, feeling the cool ocean breeze on your skin, and taking pictures together that you would treasure forever. You had bought souvenirs for your friends. 
And then there was the car ride back to Nevermore, which seemed to fly by, the traffic moving swiftly for once.
The road was quiet, and you could hear the soft rustling of leaves as the cool night air blew through the open window of your car. 
You felt a gentle tug on your right hand and looked down to see Wednesday's hand holding yours, her eyes still focused on her book. Your heart melted as you squeezed her hand.
Wednesday didn't say a word, but you could see the contented expression on her face as she continued reading, unaware of your gaze. 
The red traffic lights changed to green, and you drove towards Nevermore, your thumb brushing against hers as you took turns on the road.
Once back at Nevermore, you headed directly to Wednesday's dorm, where Enid answered the door, her hair a disheveled mess as if she had just woken up from a deep sleep.
You smiled and handed her your gift, a smile spreading across her face as she took it. "Thank you so much!" she exclaimed, giving you a quick hug. 
"Enid," Wednesday said, and the tone of her voice instantly signaled to you that something was amiss. Enid, clearly not wanting to add fuel to the fire, released her grip and offered an apology as she retreated back inside to help Wednesday unpack her things.
The door closed, leaving you and Wednesday alone in the hallway. You could feel the tension in the air, and a small part of you regretted coming back. You hesitantly stepped forward, afraid of the consequences.
"I'll see you tomorrow," you said, your voice barely more than a whisper.
However, as you were about to leave, Wednesday grabbed your hand. 
She gently caressed your palm with her thumb, and you couldn't help but feel a jolt of energy coursing through your body. 
You leaned in to kiss her cheek, but she pulled you in for a deeper kiss, her lips meeting yours with a passion that took you by surprise.
Her hands roamed over your neck and shoulders, holding you close and pulling you in even further.
You pulled away, taking a deep breath as you smiled at the warmth spreading throughout your body. 
Wednesday leaned in yet again, her lips finding yours for one more blissful moment. You couldn't help but savor the taste of her kisses as she held you close once more.
Once you finally broke apart, you rested your forehead against hers, feeling the connection that you shared. 
It was a moment that felt like it would last an eternity, your bodies pressed against each other, your breath coming in short gasps. 
You could feel the heat building between you, a tension that threatened to tear you apart at any moment.
"I love you."
The words were out of your mouth before you could stop yourself, a whisper that echoed in the silence of the hallway. 
Wednesday's eyes locked onto yours, her breath catching in her throat as she took in your confession. Her lips parted, as if she wanted to say something in response, but the words refused to leave her mouth. Instead, she kissed you once again, this time with a passion that threatened to consume you whole.
You wanted to pull away, to catch your breath, to take in the moment. But you couldn't, your body was consumed by the heat of Wednesday's touch. 
Your hands grasped her back, pulling her close as your lips found hers again and again. The world seemed to melt away, leaving just the two of you in the hallway, lost in a world of your own.
Finally, you pulled away, your chest heaving as you struggled to catch your breath. Wednesday's lips were swollen from your kisses, her eyes shining with anticipation.
"I'll see you tomorrow," you managed to whisper, before you leaned in for one final kiss. 
This time, it was slower, more gentle, as if you both understood that this moment was too precious to be rushed. 
You held each other close, your bodies pressing together, feeling the warmth of each other's touch.
Feeling a tingle in your chest, you pulled away, the warmth of her touch lingering on your cheeks. Her hand slowly released its grip on yours, her fingers lingering for just a moment longer before she let go, her face falling back into its usual stony expression.
The grin on your face persisted as you made your way back to your dorm. You knew that you would forever hold on to the memories of that perfect day. 
Then you sighed, the familiar weight of reality settling back in. 
You walked toward your own dorm, feeling the fatigue of the long drive weigh on your shoulders. As you entered your room, the familiar smell of home beckoning you to rest your weary head on your pillow, you couldn't help but think of the image of Wednesday that was forever imprinted in your mind.
One last look, the sun setting over her shoulder, casting a glow of warmth over her face. 
A moment frozen in time, a dream that would fade soon enough but remain a precious memory for as long as you lived.
And as you drifted off into sleep, the image of her remained seared into your mind. 
The waves crashing against the shore, the smell of salt in the air, the warmth of the sun on your skin. A dream like no other, a reminder of what it meant to be truly alive.

Part Seven
⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷
Nighthawk: Noun. A recurring thought that only seems to strike you late at night—an overdue task, a nagging guilt, a looming and shapeless future—that circles high overhead during the day, that pecks at the back of your mind while you try to sleep, that you can successfully ignore for weeks, only to feel its presence hovering outside the window, waiting for you to finish your coffee, passing the time by quietly building a nest.
⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷
"Why are you rearranging everything?" Wednesday asks, her voice dull but tinged with a hint of annoyance.
You look at her sheepishly. "Sorry, I know you're trying to write."
Wednesday sighs, letting the ire settle away. After all, this was your room. But Wednesday had taken your words about coming here for some peace and quiet last week seriously and brought her typewriter the next day to your room, and it's been there ever since. 
Wednesday actively doesn't think about what it could mean that she'd been moving her stuff over into your room slowly because, at the very least, she still goes back to her own to sleep at night. 
She actively doesn't think about anything to do with you during the day.
"Why are you rearranging everything?" Wednesday asks again, her face unimpressed with how you've shuffled your coffee table, the inside of your closet, and how you've been eyeing your bed as if it was next.
You purse your lips as if debating whether or not to tell Wednesday the reason, but when she pinches her eyebrows at you, her gaze becoming more narrow, you relent. 
"I thought it'd be nice to have more room..." you mumble, rubbing the back of your neck.
"You've already optimized the space to its full potential," Wednesday raises her brow at you. "You won't be getting anything more unless you start throwing away things and you own nothing like the miserable orphan you are."
You can't help but laugh.
"I was thinking of giving away the coffee table," you admit with a smile. "One of the gorgon girls in the woodworking class said she could make me an extendable coffee table that I could fit into my closet."
"Why have you asked her? It is doubtful her skills would be superior to mine."
"Because you're not taking woodworking and it would have to be an extracurricular activity to do outside of class, and I feel like there's more interesting things you could be working on," you point out, giving up on rearranging and sitting on your bed.
"Like what exactly?" Wednesday flatly asks, her gaze studying your fictitious nonchalant face. 
"Do you like horror movies?" You ask instead of answering Wednesday's question, which makes the gothic girl's mouth twitch in annoyance. 
"If you're asking if they scare me, then no," Wednesday answers succinctly, with a tilt of her chin. "But I do enjoy watching them if they're done well."
"Me too," you tell her. "I mean, they do kind of scare me but I also kind of enjoy the feeling because then that means the movie was good."
There's a ghost of a smile on Wednesday's lip, too quick for you to see. 
"Which ones have you seen?" Wednesday asks, curious about what your tastes are. "Which ones terrify you the most?" Her eyes are glinting. 
"Not too many," you give her an amused smile. "Remember, I didn't really have access to the internet for entertainment, and I'm not really one for watching it by myself." 
You sit in thought, and Wednesday waits in anticipation. This was the kind of information that Wednesday had been waiting for because it was difficult to gauge what you were afraid of. 
"I think maybe paranormal movies?" You say, your tone lifting at the end like you were unsure.
Wednesday's face fell. "You're scared of ghosts?" She asks, thoroughly unimpressed. 
"Hey," you kick her foot lightly with your own. "How are you supposed to fight something that is already dead? They clearly already have the upperhand."
Wednesday lifts her hands and starts counting on her fingers. "Rituals, spiritual artifacts, using a psychic, destroy whatever is holding their attachment here, become a ghost yourself and—"
"Okay, okay, I get it," you laugh. "I still find them unsettling, though."
"Ridiculous," Wednesday scowls with distaste. "There are far more horrifying and interesting genres."
"Well," you say lightly, and Wednesday looks into your eyes. They gaze into her like they want to draw her in and send a secret message. "Guess you'll have to show me one of these days."
Wednesday wants to ignore the secret message. 
⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷
"You'll have to show me one of these days."
The words kept repeating in Wednesday's mind, torturing her while she tried to sleep. Usually, it'd be lovely, but Wednesday would've preferred that it was her nightly sleep paralysis afflicting her instead. 
Wednesday had successfully ignored the fact she had won the bet of winning the Poe Cup race. It makes her irate that she’s won yet she feels like she’s been defeated. At least during the day, she was able to ignore it. At night, it haunted her and cost her sleep. 
On top of that, Wednesday was still looking into what her vision could possibly mean. During the day, she spent all her time analyzing you, searching for clues that you might turn on her just like Tyler had. It would be just her luck to have it happen to her a second time. 
But while Wednesday could see something lurking underneath your mask you put on to others, and even sometimes to her, you seemed mindful about the pace to be close. It was different from Tyler, who constantly made it known exactly what he wanted from Wednesday and that he wanted it immediately. 
Wednesday had been snooping around, hoping to trigger another vision, but nothing had come; therefore, she was at a dead end. She supposes she could just bring the issue to your attention and hear your thoughts, but for some unknown reason, she was reluctant. 
"You'll have to show me one of these days."
Damn it all, Wednesday sighs with force.
The task at hand was overdue, and Wednesday wonders if you wonder if she'll keep her word and plan this...date. The idea of being thought of as someone who couldn't keep their vows was disconcerting and disgusting.
This was ridiculous, Wednesday thinks as she removes her covers and sits up. So utterly ridiculous.  
Wednesday Addams never backed away from a challenge, and she was most definitely someone who kept all her threats and promises. 
She grabs a piece of paper, neatly scribbling words onto it before she tosses the pen to the side. 
"Thing," she whispers, even though nearly nothing could wake Enid at this hour. The disembodied hand gets up from his resting place and scuttles quietly over to her. 
"Drop this off and bring me a reply," she tells him. 
He looks at the note and starts signing words to her.
"Yes, what's wrong with what I said? It is succinct."
Thing makes a show of being exasperated with her using his fingers but takes the note and scurries off. 
Wednesday doesn't return to bed, waiting impatiently for Thing to return with her arms crossed, her index tapping her inner arm. It's minutes before the hand returns with a note in return.
"Was she awake?" Wednesday asks, and Thing indicates that you were. He passes her the note.
Wednesday grins, but it looks maniacal.
'Are you threatening me with a date? I thought you'd never ask.'

The sounds of Wednesday typing lull you through your headphones. It's a consistent sound, and the only break is when the sound of Wednesday returning the carriage as the page hits the end. 
It was late at night, and it was unlikely for either of you to go out again. Since it's just the two of you in your room, you have your wings out, carefully preening the feathers with your fingers. The scars were healing nicely, but any forceful exertion would make them split open again, and you were not keen on that happening. You're also pretty sure Wednesday would be disgruntled with you if you did as well.
"How are your wings?" Wednesday asks as she takes a break from her writing.
"Sore," you admit, ruffling them lightly. "I can't really stretch them without re-opening the wounds, and they're usually hidden inside my back most days."
"I've been meaning to ask how that works," Wednesday stares at you while you gently massage the sore areas, being very careful of how far your stretch.
"I wish I could explain, but I really can't," you shrug. "It's just innate in faeries to be able to hide their wings. How does it all fit? I'm not sure, really. Most likely evolution and fae magic."
You were really focused, seemingly annoyed with where you couldn't reach. 
"Do you want assistance?" Wednesday offers. 
You freeze for a moment, looking up at Wednesday. The idea of Wednesday's fingers going under the feathers and pressing her fingers carefully against your wing was...a lot.
"Oh, uh," you remove your fingers from your flight appendages. "No, it's okay."
"Why?" Wednesday raises her brow. "You're clearly struggling. Do you not trust me to handle your wings carefully?"
"No, no, it's not that," you correct immediately. You sigh for a moment, feeling the heat rise to your ears. "It's just..." you shift on the bed. "You know my wings are sensitive."
Wednesday nods. "And I will be meticulous."
"It's not that," you mutter, feeling warm. "You massaging them...touching them...like that..." your voice trails, and you feel slightly mortified. This was so embarrassing.
Wednesday seems to catch on immediately, and her back goes straight and rigid. "I see." Her voice is brisk.
"Yeah," you say quickly back. "It's, you know...just ticklish," you say to avoid the awkwardness, but you both know it's not quite that. 
Wednesday just nods, not pushing to offer her help further, but there is a curious look in her eyes. You don't dwell on it as you check your watch.
"Oh, shit," you sigh as you stand, gently brushing the last of your feathers with your fingers. 
"What?" Wednesday asks with a frown, watching your wings disappear. 
"Larissa is leaving for some conference. It's apparently a long trip and she needs to drive out tonight."
Wednesday recalls Weems mentioning her absence for the weekend and a group of teachers being in charge, but there was hardly a need for concern as it was the weekend.
"I have to go see her off," you tell Wednesday. "It'll probably be a couple of minutes. Are you going to stay here writing?"
"I will be finished in a couple of minutes as well," Wednesday says. "I will be returning to my dorm room for the night. I have preparations to finish."
"Preparations, you say?" A sly smile on your lips that Wednesday rolls her eyes at. 
Since that night after the Poe Cup race, there haven't been any kisses. Wednesday's still figuring out what to make of it all. You seem content with how things are, and Wednesday was slowly studying her own desires and how to handle them accordingly. Sometimes, Wednesday thinks it was easier kissing a serial killer.
At least with the serial killer, she didn’t have to do any date planning. But since she was, she was going to do every single part of it correctly and perfectly. Wednesday mindlessly thinks she’s probably been driving Enid insane and feels gleeful at the thought.
The sly smile turns soft, the rarity that only belonged to Wednesday. You lean over and faintly kiss her on the cheek, and your warm lips tinge Wednesday's cool skin. "I'll see you tomorrow then."
You leave Wednesday sitting in your room with a soft click of the door, heading out to the front gates. There are still some students wandering about, and you give them friendly, light smiles with a short wave of your hand as they greet you. 
Inwardly, you sigh. 
⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷
"I'm very serious," Weems gives you a stern look. "If there's anything wrong, you're to go to the nurse immediately. Don't think I've gotten over the last incident you had with the gorgon girls."
"I told you it was an accident!" You sigh almost dramatically. "They're nice girls! They're just...enthused...and strong."
Weems merely rolls her eyes but doesn't comment on it anymore. 
"I will only be gone for the weekend, I should be back Sunday night. It will be a short meeting."
"I know," you say, hiding back your sigh. "It'll be fine. I'm just going to be doing homework over the weekend."
"Right," Weems raised her brow, and an amused and wry smile graced her lips. "And by just doing homework over the weekend, you mean having a date with Miss Addams?"
You narrow your eyes suspiciously at Weems. "How did you know?"
Weems just makes some noncommittal noise before sighing. "My life seems to be fated to be entwined with the Addams family."
You look at her curiously, but Weems waves you off before she looks at you with a mildly uncomfortable look. "Do I need to give you the talk—"
"No!" You say immediately, cutting the principal off. Heat rises up your chest, burning the tip of your ears, and your cheeks feel hot. "It's—" you clear your throat into your fist—"it's fine. I'm good, I know."
Weems's face is slightly flushed red at the apple of her cheeks, and it makes you feel better. The two of you chuckle, letting it die into a comfortable silence. 
"I'll be home in two days," Weems repeats, softer this time. 
You nod. "Okay," your voice softer as well. It was strange, but you really did like having Weems around, despite Wednesday's grumbling about her. "Have a safe trip."
⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷†⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷
Saturday passed quickly, and Enid could not be more thankful. If there was one more annoying thing than Wednesday obsessively investigating things, it was Wednesday obsessively trying to plan a date. Her grim roommate was extra unbearable this entire week. 
Thing dropped off a note to you earlier today to meet in Wednesday's room at precisely 7PM with your laptop. While Wednesday executed her plan, Enid kept her company for most of the day. 
"I'm surprised you were able to actually cook dinner here," Enid says dryly. "I can't believe you made your own makeshift stove and didn't burn our entire room down."
"Controlled arson is child's play," Wednesday drawls. She finishes setting up a projector she's borrowed (stolen) from a classroom before setting down a blanket with some cushions. She looks at Enid. "Give me all of your pillows."
"What? Why?" Enid frowns.
"Because only I enjoy sitting on rigid and awkward angles that may give me back or neck pains later," Wednesday explains succinctly while she grabs the one pillow from her bed, tosses it on the floor, and then grabs a black fuzzy blanket.
Enid sighs, reaching for her pillows and tossing them onto the blanket. Normally, she might've denied her roommate the request, but it was clear that Wednesday was trying to make this the perfect date from the way she's been obsessing about it all week, meticulously planning and researching. 
It was endearing to watch, but Enid wouldn't say it out loud.        
"You will change the pillowcases and wash the old ones when I'm back tomorrow," Enid warns her roommate, who noncommittally nods.
Then Wednesday freezes. "You're not returning tonight?"
Enid smirks. "Nope. I'm having a sleepover with Yoko tonight." She then gives Wednesday a look. "I won't do it too often, especially since Fae has her own bedroom you guys can be doing your dates at."
"It's smaller," Wednesday mutters, even though she knows it would've been fine to do it at your place. But Wednesday chose to do it in their own room so that she could rely on Enid returning in the worst-case scenario where the date was a failure.
Wednesday checks the time on her wrist and finds she has no time to make adjustments now. It was 6:55PM, and you'd be arriving soon. 
"Leave," Wednesday dismisses Enid, who sighs at her roommate's callousness but still wishes her good luck as she goes to find her vampire best friend along with Thing.
Time ticks slowly as Wednesday checks to ensure the sea witch paella she made is still warm. She does a final review of all her preparations and stands near the door. 
Wednesday wouldn't describe herself as nervous, but she does feel an uncomfortable pressure in her chest and something twisting in her stomach.
It's nauseating and exhilarating.
7:00PM. 
Wednesday waits, telling herself that while it's annoying that people are not customarily on time, it's not abnormal. 
7:05PM.
You were late, but Wednesday isn't worried. You aren't typically late to things, but there's been an occasional time she'll catch you out of breath running to class or to their nightly meet-up.
7:15PM.
Irritated.
Now Wednesday is irritated with how inconsiderate you were being and plans to make you reiterate what you were doing every single minute to be late. She knows you know the time to meet was 7PM. When Thing dropped off her note to you, you also provided a note back saying, 'You have such a way with words. See you at 7PM sharp then.'
A liar is what you are, Wednesday thinks with a downward curl of her lips. Wednesday pinches the bridge of her nose, annoyed at the fact that she has a stupid phone that is utterly useless. She wanted to throttle both Xaiver and Enid for endlessly praising how useful it was to have one. 
7:30PM.
Wednesday clenches her jaw as she blows out the candles and turns off her makeshift stove. She's vexed, but a larger part of her doesn't believe you'd not show up. The vision Wednesday had during the Poe Cup race appears, and she briskly strides out of her room.
Not in your room.
Not in any of the classrooms.
Not in the garden.
Not in the cafeteria.
Not in the library.
"Addams," Bianca greets with a raise of her brow. "Aren't you supposed to be on a date?"
Wednesday stops as Bianca approaches her. "You knew?" Her eyes narrow.
Bianca rolls her eyes, her blue eyeshadow accentuating her eyes. "Of course. Fae briefly mentioned it in the afternoon with a sickeningly happy look on her face. Can't say I see the charm of being on a date with you, but I digress."
"So you did see her earlier then?" Wednesday asks pointedly, ignoring everything else the siren said. 
Bianca raises a brow slowly at Wednesday's behavior. "I did, but she left for her studio about two hours ago. Why?"
Wednesday doesn't bother answering, walking past Bianca with haste.
There was only one place left to check, and Wednesday expected you to be there. You had better be sitting in your studio, having lost track of time, and Wednesday would berate you. But you'd be there to apologize, and they could salvage what was left of their date, and Wednesday would pointedly remind you that it was your fault their food was cold. They'd watch their horror movie as planned, and it wouldn't matter if it'd be late into the night because Enid wasn't coming back anyway.
Because if you weren't there, Wednesday would certainly kill someone. 
"Wednesday!" Bianca calls as she strides to catch up to Wednesday as they pass the Quad, grabbing the attention of Enid, Yoko, Xavier, and Eugene. 
"Wednesday!" Enid calls after her best friend, but she ignores it, walking with a distinct purpose to your studio. Enid and everyone else get up with haste to follow after their friend. "Wednesday, where's Fae?"
The familiar tree trunk comes into view, and she does the same sequence of action she always does to enter, not caring that she looks insane.
"What are you doin—where'd she go?" Eugene asks, his eyes narrowing as if that would allow him to see Wednesday again.
"It must be a fae realm," Bianca deducts, thinking back to her conversations with you. "Sirens have something similar. She must've created one out of her studio. Just follow what Wednesday did."
One by one, they repeat the actions, and Enid is the last to go through. And when she enters, she finds Wednesday a few feet away from her, eyes narrowed with her jaw clenched.
They don't have time to take in the space and view, as amazing as it is. 
"This isn't right," Wednesday grits out, her hands forming into fists. "This isn't the studio."
It looks perfect—neat and tidy. 
Untouched.
"What do you mean?" Bianca asks as she looks around. "This has to be Fae's studio, I can see her belongings. Look—these are the vases and pots she made in pottery class."
Wednesday's eyes move to look at the three pottery pieces Bianca is pointing at sitting in a cluster on the coffee table. They weren't perfect, a little wobbly, and you had laughed when Wednesday pointed out every imperfection and questioned why you even let them go into the bisque firing to set. 
But you said you liked how they were very clearly flawed and still worked without a hitch. 
There was nothing out of the ordinary, and they were most definitely yours. 
The only problem was that earlier today, Wednesday had come into your studio while you were studying. You had given Wednesday a strange look but asked no questions as she grabbed the soft, fuzzy black blanket you favored. You bought it in town recently after Wednesday started to help you apply the salve, picking black specifically because you hadn't known Wednesday like you do now and heard she was allergic to color. 
It was for the cooler nights, not that the cold ever bothered Wednesday, but it didn't stop you from carefully draping the blanket over her. Now, it was in preparation for tonight's date when they were watching horror movies.
Yet, the soft black, fuzzy blanket in her room was also folded neatly on a shelf inside a trunk-turned rack. Which also wasn't where Wednesday had taken it from earlier today.
"This is weird, though," Enid mutters, inhaling deeply through her nose.
"What?" Yoko asks as she takes off her glasses and looks around. 
"Wednesday, you said you and Fae are here pretty frequently, right? I thought you came here earlier."
Wednesday nods rigidly. 
"That's weird," Enid ponders, tilting her head. "I can barely smell you and Fae in this place. It's like...very stale. Months old, at least."
"Wait," Eugene furrows his brows. "How is that even possible?"
Xavier looks in deep thought, holding his chin as he thinks, but Wednesday already knows. Especially after Enid confirmed the scent. 
It all leads to one conclusion. 
This wasn't your studio, or more accurately—you and Wednesday haven't been in your real studio for some time.
"Is there anyone in this school that has Fae's number?" Xavier asks, and it makes the room tense. "Does she have Snapchat or anything that could show her location?
Bianca shakes her head. "No, she doesn't have any social media and she hasn't even given me her number, not that I think it would be useful, anyway. She's never on her phone except to watch her shows or read. Half the time, I'm convinced she probably just leaves it lying around."
"We...we should contact Weems, right?" Eugene asks as he looks at everyone. 
"Even if we do, Weems won't make it back until the morning, at least," Xavier points out. "But we should."
You were missing.
No, you've been taken.
The thought felt hollow, like Wednesday couldn't believe it. It only lasted a second before pure, unadulterated fury filled her. It was like a hot white ball forming in her chest, making her clench her jaw, barely able to contain the noise she wanted to let out. 
Wednesday hadn't been watching for you just half a day, planning this ridiculous date that you had been so stupidly excited for, and you were taken.
Wednesday can only blame herself. 
She blames herself for so many things. 
Indulging you.
Indulging herself.
She should've never agreed to this date—she should've never agreed to you. 
Why couldn't she just have dismissed you as another passing curiosity? Why couldn't she have just gotten what she needed to know and left you? You should've been nothing more than a passing, disturbing thought.
It would have saved her from feeling so wretched now. 
"Wednesday," Enid says softly. She lifts her hand to gently touch her roommate but thinks better of it when she practically smells the anger radiating off the grim-looking girl. "Wednesday," Enid repeats instead, "We need to find her."
"Of course," Wednesday snaps, unable to even comprehend that she was snapping at the wrong person. "Spread out and start searching every corner of this inane institute."
Xavier looks upset. "Wednesday, you shouldn't look alone—" 
"Go, or I will unapologetically send you to jail for a second time," Wednesday cuts off, threatening the tall, lanky boy with a glare. 
Bianca grabs the sleeve at his elbow, dragging him out while the others follow. 
Thing is the only one left with Wednesday, and he stands on top of the table, waiting for Wednesday to say something. 
Wednesday's jaw is clenched, and her hands are closed in tight fists. 
The problem was that Wednesday did indulge herself, and now you were hers, even if she refused to say it out loud. 
You. Are. Hers. 
You were hers to make pay for making her feel so wretched over you. 
"Thing," Wednesday bites out. "Bring anything personal of hers. Bring me anything that looks out of place."
The mystery brought her obsessive personality up to the front, and she would solve it.
Wednesday was going to find you—because you were hers—and she would slowly maim whoever had taken you.

Tag Game: First 10 Lines Challenge
Rules: Share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able to and see if there are any patterns!
Tagged by @curator-on-ao3 - thank you so much!!
I have not been posting much recently so my last 10 fics span years (yes, years).
Caitlin Todd woke in an uncomfortable bed in a cold room.
Somewhere Beyond the Sea, NCIS, Kate/Gibbs, T
2. The United Airlines flight back from Fresno was long, boring, and cramped.
Mac stared out the window in a trance as the plane descended toward Dulles. The sun had long since set, and the entire city looked like a giant miniature train set, tiny cars moving down the roads as if controlled by some giant invisible hand.
this could be the end, JAG, Harm/Mac, T
3. Harm almost murdered Diane’s killer on a Friday.
He spent most of Saturday staring at the wall, trying to shove down the writhing mass of rope that seemed to have taken up residence in his stomach.
He felt guilty, he realized.
in case i need it when i'm older, JAG, Harm/Mac, G
4.
Say it was the right time To walk away When dreaming takes you nowhere It's time to play
—Playing with the Boys, Kenny Loggins
Maverick raps on the door sharply. When there’s no immediate reply, she shoves her hands in her pockets, where they curl into fists.
This is the most insane plan Penelope “Maverick” Mitchell has ever come up with, and that's saying something.
in for a penny, in for a pound, Top Gun, Ice/fem!Mav, T
5. Carter was perfectly professional all the way back to the tel'tak. She threw him a brief smile as they walked, and he felt his Carter senses light up, like the leaves of a plant on the first day of spring. But her face had stayed completely serious as they maneuvered Maybourne into the tel’tak and she helped him pack up the gear scattered across the campsite (it was laundry day, okay. They should be grateful he wasn’t going commando).
i won't let go 'til the end, Stargate SG-1, Sam/Jack, G
6. It's the kind of summer night that clings to the skin, like the darkness has absorbed the heat of day and is breathing it out onto the world.
a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways, Top Gun, Gen (Maverick and Rooster's father/son relationship), G
7. Tess leans on the side of the register. Wednesdays are always slow, for some reason. Not many people at a supermarket looking to buy balloons for a party or flowers for a date on Wednesday, she supposes. Last week on Wednesday, she'd snuck The Great Gatsby out of her bag and skimmed it while she was waiting for customers. This week, though, she isn't feeling quite as productive. So she people-watches instead.
Rearview Mirror, Stargate SG-1, Sam/Jack, T
8. “What do you want on your gravestone?”
Dearly Loved, Stargate SG-1, Sam/Jack, G
9. Daniel walks into the SGC wearing a jacket labeled O'Neill, causing guards to stare. More guards stare when someone comments and he glances down, "Oh, I must have grabbed the wrong jacket."
Musical Jackets, Stargate SG-1, Gen, G
10. Jack was in the middle of reading a Sky and Telescope article on the latest electronic telescopes when he heard the telltale hum of Carter's engine.
Tensing, he set the magazine aside and waited for the knock he knew was coming. He tried not to think of the blue shine of his ring on her hand. He failed.
A Vein to the Heart, Stargate SG-1, Sam/Jack, G
Apparently, I don't start with dialogue. Which amuses me because dialogue is easiest for me, and most of my stories start off as nothing but dialogue.
I write snappy, action-based beginnings, where a character is *doing* something. Which makes sense because that's what I like to read!
Clearly I need to stop starting the first sentence of a fic with a character's name, because seeing them all lined up like this makes me cringe.
No pressure tagging @sententiousandbellicose @sluttyhenley @redbelles @lannisterdaddyissues @doodledrawreblogs @tommyjop @geneeste and anyone else who sees this and wants to try their hand! <3

You looked at your phone screen as you nervously fiddled with your fingers, waiting for the call to be connected. 
You couldn't believe that this was happening. You were about to get on a call with the Kim Taehyung. 
At the start of this week, you opened Twitter to see Taehyung had posted a tweet asking fans to enter their names and contact details into a google form because he was going to call some lucky fans. He explained that the winners would be picked based on the number of their submission and the help of google's random number generator. 
You decided to take a chance and filled it in, not expecting to win... especially after the artist posted about how he received over 500 thousand submissions. 
But to your surprise, on Wednesday, you received an SMS from a staff member stating that you were one of the lucky fans to have won a video call. After checking when you were available, they asked you to be ready to call on Friday at 9 pm. 
It was seven minutes past nine, and you were sitting in your room, phone up and leaning against a pile of books as you waited for your phone call with Taehyung to be connected. 
You sighed as you glanced at your mirror, wondering if you should've dressed up a little more. Your hair was in a low ponytail, and you wore a light grey hoodie and white shorts. You weren't wearing any heavy make-up, considering how after the call ended, you were probably going to sleep. You didn't want to waste time removing heavy make-up. 
"Should I have dressed up a bit like the other fans seem to do?" You whispered to yourself.  
This was your first time going on a fan call. From what you saw from tiktoks and videos on Twitter of fans going on calls with their favourite artists, they always seemed dressed up. Either their hair looked amazing, they were in beautiful outfits, or their make-up was on fleek. Sometimes they were all three.
You were so deep in thought that you didn't realise the call connected until you heard a "Hello?"
Your eyes widened, and you turned to the screen to see Taehyung setting his phone up somewhere.   
"y/n, right?" he asked with a smile once the movement had stopped. 
As you slowly nodded, you couldn't help but notice how beautiful he looked, despite being bare-faced and in casual attire. His hair was long and fluffy, almost covering his eyes, and he wore a light grey hoodie.
"Oh! We're matching!" he giggled, pointing to his screen. "And finally, someone who won't make me feel underdressed. Everyone else was dressed in flashy and cool clothing, hair done and make-up looking fire."
"I... I thought about dressing up," you softly said, feeling shy. You couldn't believe you were talking to one of your favourite artists. 
"Well, thank God you didn't," he dramatically sighed before resting his chin in the palm of his hand. "Anyway, sorry for answering late. Did I keep you waiting long?"
"It's okay, and n-no not- not really," you stuttered, mentally cursing yourself for being like this. 
"Are you feeling nervous?" Taehyung asked, cocking his head to the side, and you nodded. "There's no reason to be! Just think of me as a friend and speak comfortably."
'That's not going to be easy,' you thought. 
"Tell me about yourself, y/n. I love getting to know about the people who listen to my music," he smiled. "If you don't want to do that, just tell me a random story."
"Uh, okay," you said, shifting in your chair. "I'll tell you a little about myself, then tell you a story."
"Sure! Go ahead."
You began to speak, telling Taehyung little things about yourself, occasionally agreeing with you on some of your likes and dislikes. 
"You don't like coffee much either?" He asked when you briefly mentioned how you preferred tea compared to coffee. 
After getting to know you a bit, you moved on to telling him random stories from your life. 
Talking to Taehyung wasn't as awkward as you thought it'd be. It didn't feel like you were talking to your favourite artist anymore... it felt like you were talking to a friend. 
You didn't realise how much time you had spent on the phone with him until your bedtime alarm rang, telling you it was half past ten. 
You and Taehyung had talked for almost one and a half hours. 
"Is someone calling you?' Taehyung asked. 
"No, uhm, it's my alarm," you told him, turning it off. "I'm supposed to be going to bed soon."
"What time do you normally go to bed?" he asked. "It's almost eleven! We've been talking for a while. 
"Eleven," you told him. "And how were we able to talk for so long?"
"The time for artists to talk to fans is shorter when they're in a group. Not to mention there are a lot more fans waiting for their call to be connected," he explained. "I have more time to talk to fans because I'm taking calls during the weekend too. You're the last fan I'm talking to for today, so there's no time limit."
"What's the longest you've talked to a fan?" You asked, wondering how much time he spent talking to others. 
"How long have we been talking for?" 
"About an hour and a half," you replied, looking at the time again. 
"That's the longest I've talked to a fan," he chuckled. "You're an interesting person, y/n. I liked hearing your stories and getting to know you a little."
It was true. 
Most fan calls barely exceeded 45 minutes because things between him and the fan were awkward (no matter how hard or many times he tried to lighten the mood), or fans were weird and crossed some lines. 
There were a couple of good and 'normal' ones, but there were more bad than good. 
"I'd love to tell you more, but I need to prepare for bed. I have a busy day tomorrow," you frowned, and a playful pout appeared on his face. 
You couldn't believe that you were the one who was ending this conversation. You really didn't want to, but you had to. 
"Aw, I was hoping we could talk longer, but I understand. When will I get to talk to you again?" He asked.
"The next time I fill in a google form and magically win a fan call," you chuckled. "And only you know when that'll be."
"T-that's- that's so far," he whined, knowing the company wasn't going to do this again for a while. 
"Until then," you shrugged. "I've really got to go. I'm so happy I got to talk to you."
"Aw, it's okay. Let me not keep you any longer," Taehyung smiled, waving. "It was nice meeting you, y/n. We'll talk again soon!"
Before you could say anything else, he ended the call. 
"I'm going to save their details on my personal phone and just message them myself," he whispered, taking out his phone.  
He enjoyed talking to you so much that he just had to save your details. He couldn't wait for you to enter whatever competition or event the company planned. 
As soon as he ended the call, you couldn't help but squeal. You talked to the Kim Taehyung, and it went way better than you thought it would. 
While you were finally allowing yourself to fangirl, a notification came in, and it was from an unknown contact. 
"Who?" you frowned, taking your phone to look at the message. 
Instead of waiting for a google form, you could've asked me to save your details! That way we don't have to wait that long to be able to talk to each other again - Taehyung ^^

Happy Meme Day!!! If you want to take part all you have to do is reblog this post. Remember if you reblog to send them out to EVERYONE who also does. Meme lasts from today until the next Wednesday (may 1st).
FORTNIGHT
I was supposed to be sent away, but they forgot to come and get me.
I was a functioning alcoholic.
Nobody noticed my new aesthetic.
All of this to say, I hope you're okay.
No one here's to blame.. what about your quiet treason?
For a fortnight there we were forever running.
You're in my backyard turned into good neighbors.
I want to kill her/him/them.
All my mornings are Monday stuck in an endless February.
I took the miracle move on pill, the effects were temporary.
I love you, it's ruining my life.
I touched you for only a fortnight.
My husband is cheating... i want to kill him.
I call you up but you won't pick up.
Another fortnight lost in America.
THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT
You left your typewriter at my apartment.
i think some things I'll never say.. like who uses typewriters anyway?
You're in self-sabotage mode.
Who else decodes you?
Who's gonna hold you like me?
Who's gonna know you if not me?
We'rе modern idiots.
I chose this cyclone with you.
Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me.
Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be.. because we're crazy.
At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on.. and that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding.
MY BOY ONLY BREAKS HIS FAVORITE TOYS
Here we go again.
You should've seen him when he first got me.
My boy only breaks his favorite toys.. i'm queen of sand castles he destroys.
I should've known it was a matter of time.
There was a litany of reasons why we could've playеd for keeps this time.
I know I'm just repeating mysеlf.
He runs because he loves me.
'Cause you should've seen him when he first saw me
I knew too much.
There was danger in the heat of my touch.
He saw forever so he smashed it up.
Once I fix me, he's gonna miss me
He was my best friend.
I felt more when we played pretend than with all the Ken's.
He took me out of my box, stole my tortured heart, left all these broken parts.
Told me I'm better off, but I'm not.
DOWN BAD
Did you really beam me up?
Tell me I was the chosen one.
For a moment I knew cosmic love.
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym.
Everything comes out teenage petulance.
Fuck it if I can't have him.. it's like i lost my twin.
I might just die, it would make no difference.
Come back and pick me up.
Fuck it if I can't have us.
I might just not get up.
I might stay down bad.
Did you take all my old clothes?
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you.
For a moment, I was heavenstruck.
I loved your hostile take-overs.
I'll build you a fort on some planet where they can all understand it.
How dare you think it's romantic leaving me safe and stranded?
Cause fuck it, I was in love.
Fuck you if I can't have us.
SO LONG, LONDON
Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away.
My spine split from carrying us up the hill.
I stopped trying to make him laugh.
How much sad did you think I had?
Did you think I had in me?
You'll find someone.
I didn't opt in to be your odd man out..
I founded the club she's heard great things about.
I left all I knew.
I stopped CPR.
Thе spirit was gone.
We would never come to.
I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free.
Two graves, one gun.
I'll find someone.
You say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it.
My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment.
My friends said it isn't right to be scared.
Every breath feels like rarest air.
Just how low did you think I'd go before I'd self implode?
You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?
I died on the altar waiting for the proof.
BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM
I forget how the west was won.
I forget if this was ever fun.
I just learned these people only raise you to cage you.
What a mess.
I just learned these people try and save you 'cause they hate you.
Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it.
They slammed the door on my whole world.
But, daddy, I love him.
I'm having his baby... no, I'm not, but you should see your faces.
No, I'm not coming to my senses.
I know it's crazy, but he's the one I want.
Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all.
You're this chaos, he was revelry.
Stay away from her.
Lord knows the words we never heard.
I'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitchin' and moanin'.
I'll tell you something 'bout my good name, it's mine along with all the disgrace.
God save the most judgmental creeps who say they want what's best for me.
Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see.
You ain't gotta pray for me.. it's just my choice.
There's a lot of people in town that I bestow upon my fakest smiles.
Scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer.
We came back when the heat died down.
Went to my parents and they came around.
All the wine moms are still holding out.
Fuck 'em, it's over.
Even my daddy just loves him.
I'm his lady.
Oh my god, you should see your faces.
I know it's crazy but he's the one I love.
FRESH OUT OF THE SLAMMER
I'm running back home to you.
I know who my first call will be to.
He don't understand me.
Handcuffed to the spell I was under.
But it's gonna be alright.
I did my time.
Toss the ashes off the ledge.
I will never lose my baby again.
My friends tried, but I wouldn't hear it.
Watched me daily disappearing for just one glimpse of his smile.
All those nights you kept me goin'.
Swirled you into all of my poems.
Now we're at the starting line.
No matter what I've done, it wouldn't matter anyway.
Ain't no way I'm gonna screw up, now that I know what's at stake here.
FLORIDA!!!
You can beat the heat if you beat the charges too.
They said I was a cheat, I guess it must be true.
My friends all smell like weed or little babies.
The city reeks of driving myself crazy.
Your home's really only a town you're just a guest in.
I got drunk and I dared it to wash me away.
Well, mе and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time.
Yеs, I'm haunted, but I'm feeling just fine.
Well, no one asks any questions here.
So I did my best to lay to rest all of the bodies that have ever been on my body.
I've got some regrets.
Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable.
At least the dolls are beautiful, fuck me up, Florida
I need to forget, so take me to Florida
What a crash, what a rush.
Love left me like this.
I don't want to exist.
GUILTY AS SIN?
I hadn't heard it in a while.
My boredom's bone deep.
This cage was once just fine.
Am I allowed to cry?
I dream of cracking locks.
Crashing into him tonight, he's a paradox.
I'm seeing visions.
Am I bad, or mad, or wise?
What if he's written "Mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?
Oh, what a way to die.
I keep recalling things we never did.
Without ever touching his skin, how can I be guilty as sin?
There's no such thing as bad thoughts, only your actions talk.
We've already done it in my head.
Why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow?
What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?
They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly.
I choose you and me, religiously.
WHO'S AFRAID OF LITTLE OLD ME?
You don’t get to tell me about sad.
If you wanted me dead you should’ve just said.
Nothing makes me feel more alive.
Who’s afraid of little old me?
You don’t get to tell me you feel bad.
Is it a wonder I broke?
Let’s hear one morе joke.
Then we could all just laugh until I cry.
I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean.
Don’t you worry folks, we took out all her teeth.
So tell me everything is not about me, but what if it is?
Say they didn’t do it to hurt me, but what if they did?
I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me.
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
All you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs.
I’m always drunk on my own tears, isn’t that what they all said?
I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn.
I’m fearsome, and I’m wretched and I’m wrong.
Put narcotics into all of my songs and that’s why you’re still singing along.
You lured me and you hurt me and you taught me.
You caged me and then you called me crazy.
I am what I am 'cause you trained me.
I CAN FIX HIM (NO REALLY I CAN)
The smoke cloud billows out his mouth like a freight train through a small town.
The jokes that he told across the bar were revolting and far too loud.
God, help her.
I told them he's my man
I can fix him, no, really, I can.
The dopamine races through his brain on a six-lane Texas highway.
His hands so calloused from his pistol softly traces hearts on my face.
I could see it from a mile away.
A perfect case for my certain skill set.
He had a halo of the highest gradе.
He just hadn't met me yеt.
Good boy, that's right.
Come close.
I'll show you Heaven if you'll be an angel, all mine.
Trust me, I can handle me a dangerous man.
LOML
Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames?
We were just kids, babe.
You said I'm the love of your life.
A con man sells a fool a "get love quick" scheme.
I felt a hole like this, never before and ever since.
What we thought was for all time was momentary.
Mr. Steal-Your-Girl, then make her cry.
You shit-talked me under the table.
I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all.
You're the loss of my life.
I CAN DO IT WITH A BROKEN HEART
I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit.
They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it" And I did.
Lights, camera.. bitch, smile.. even when you wanna die.
He said he'd love me all his life, but that life was too short.
All the piеces of me shatterеd as the crowd was chanting "More".
I was grinnin' like I'm winnin'.
I can do it with a broken heart.
I'm so depressed, I act like it's my birthday every day.
I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague.
I cry a lot, but I am so productive, it's an art.
You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart.
I can hold my breath.
I've been doing it since he left.
I keep finding his things in drawers, crucial evidence I didn't imagine the whole thing.
THE SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED
I don't even want you back.
I don't miss what we had.
Could someone give a message to the smallest man who ever lived?
Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?
Were you writing a book?
Were you a sleeper cell spy?
In fifty years will all this be declassified?
You'll confess why you did it and I'll say, "Good riddance".
It wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden.
I would've died for your sins, instead I just died inside.
You deserve prison, but you won't get time.
You said normal girls were "boring", but you were gone by the morning.
You kicked out the stage lights, but you're still performing.
You are what you did.
I'll forget you, but I'll never forgive.
THE ALCHEMY
This happens once every few lifetimes.
These chemicals hit me like white wine.
What if I told you I'm back?
The hospital was a drag.
Worst sleep that I ever had.
I circled you on a map.
I haven't come around in so long.
I'm coming back so strong.
Ditch the clowns, get the crown.
Baby, I'm the one to be.
The sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me.
Honestly, who are we to fight thе alchemy?.
Hey, you, what if I told you we'rе cool?
That child's play back in school is forgiven under my rule.
I'm making a comeback to where I belong
We've been on a winning streak.
There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league.
Where's the trophy? He just comes running over to me.
BONUS! BELOW THE CUT, FIND MORE OPTIONS FROM A MIX OF THE ANTHOLOGY TRACKS!
credit goes to @perspectivestarters !!
I move through the world with a heart broken.
I may never open up thе way I did for you.
Six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke.
I can tell when somebody still wants me.
Once you fix your face, I'm going in.
Whether I'm gonna be your wife, or gonna smash up your bike, I haven't decided yet.
I'm gonna get you back.
Whether I'm gonna curse you out, or take you back to my house, I haven't decidеd yet.
You'll find that you were never not mine.
Even if it's handcuffed, I'm leaving here with you.
Pick your poison, babe, I'm poison either way.
A touch that was my birth right became foreign.
Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?
You know how to ball, I know artistotle.
Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman, but she used to say she wished that you were dead.
When I count the scars, there's a moment of truth, that there wouldn't be this, if there hadn't been you.
One day, your kid comes home singin' a song that only us two is gonna know is about you.

For the brainrot series - as though you don't have enough requests, but I heard this song again today and the resulting assault on my imagination has irrevocably damaged my sanity, and I had to say something because I will not be suffering alone.
Okay, so, picture this:
Crowley is tired of the way things have been weird in this vague post-S3 world I'm picturing, and he's decided he's gonna Do Something About It (mostly because he's already about 'if I'm not a bush I'm not no one' levels of drunk). Naturally, he decides that what he's gonna do is woo his angel.
Easy enough. Humans do this shit all the time, and without the benefit of 6000 years of mutual pining and some slinky hips. In fact, thanks to his extensive knowledge of romcoms (a must for any demon if they want to learn inventive ways to sow discord among couple, etc, and for no other reason), he's decided that the perfect course of action is to serenade Aziraphale with a song that perfectly encapsulates his squishy, kind of embarrassingly soft feelings that the angel just has to give in and accept his expertly plighted troth (probably not a euphemism).
He is, at this point, at the 'I'm washing me and my clothes' stage of his drinking binge, but he's nervous, so sue him.
It takes him foreeeeever to pick a song (he only knows "bebop" won't do, but unfortunately that covers such a wide and sometimes contradictory swath of all music made since the 1940s, it's pretty impossible), and he keeps second guessing himself, so he makes it to the 'Kiefer Sutherland tackling a Christmas tree' stage of blitzed and hits shuffle on his 'Embarrassing Angelfeels I Can Never Admit To Even Under Pain Of Total Annihilation' Spotify playlist et VOILA! The perfect song! Crowley can't believe his luck, and he sets his plan into motion before he can do something stupid, like sober up.
So, it's about 3 in the morning at this point, and Crowley has set up his speaker system in the middle of the street facing Aziraphale's bookshop, and as you do, he climbs onto a stolen crate (containing an order of dildos the adult entertainment shop three streets over is going to be looking for in about five hours) and shouts for Aziraphale until the angel, and anyone else unfortunate enough to be hanging around at 3am on a Wednesday (mostly Mrs. Sandwich and her girls and poor Nina, who has unwisely chosen to arrive extra early to wait on a delivery of hazelnut syrup), pops their heads out to see what the deuce is going on.
Once he sees his darling angel, Crowley takes another swig of frankly embarrassingly cheap vodka for a demon of his tastes, hefts hus microphone, and starts to sing (for a given value of sing).
It starts off soft, all chimes and romantic piano, full of joy and longing, and Aziraphale's face does that thing where he's definitely embarrassed, but also pleased, so Crowley shuts his eyes, and that's when the disco beat drops.
Oh yes. Crowley is about to fucking boogie down for the love of his life.
He busts out all the moves, wiggling those slinky hips (because he's never been one not to use every weapon at his disposal), belting out mostly the right lyrics in somewhat the right key, generally on time and everything.
Aziraphale's face, if Crowley would open his eyes and look, is now crossing over into horrified, yet hopelessly enamored, with a dash of down bad. His tastes are varied and interesting, okay?
The music fades out before Crowley does, still belting for a good thirty seconds after the track changes to 'The Edge of Glory', which isn't as perfect for his purposes, but Aziraphale hasn't fallen to his knees in besotted supplication (also not a euphemism, probably), so Crowley figures he may as well, and the whole street is both glad and a little disappointed that this is when Aziraphale steps away from the shop door, reaches up for Crowley's hand, and drags him off the box of dildos and towards the shop.
"That's lovely, dear. Why don't we go inside so you can sleep this off before we talk about it."
Crowley, of course, follows along happily, about 80% sure that is a euphemism, and decides send a little blessing to Barbra Streisand in gratitude. He knew 'The Main Event/Fight' had been the right song to choose.
(It was not, in fact, a euphemism, and Crowley thinks the squirming agony of having to listen to Aziraphale somehow turn a love confession into a lecture about proper methods of courtship and being considerate of human sleep cycles while suffering the worst hangover of his entire existence is possibly the best worst thing he's ever experienced. Hell should take notes.)
(They spend the rest of the day getting to know each other, and that is a euphemism.)
Now.
Did I fail to peel this mental image off the surface of my brain for the last 24 hours and decide to share the agony and the ecstasy of it? Oh yes.
Is it the perfect song to confess your love to your ineffable crush with? Debatable, but it has good results of one (1) success and no failures so far, so we can't really say no.
Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
The level of detail in this is unmatched. The creativity? Inspired. When I started th brainrot series never did I think I would receive something of this gravitas. Bravo my dear, I'm in the palm of your hand. And the specificity of the playlist turning to Edge Of Glory? Delicious. This is truly, marvellously unhinged. God bless the Babs and to you for the gift you have bestowed upon me. I will treat it with love and care.

Sunday, November 24th, 2024.
Tumblr media
Are you an official couple with the last person you kissed? Not anymore. I haven't seen or spoken to that person in years.
Looking back, did you ever think you would be where you are now? I don't have to go back terribly far for my current life to be something of a surprise. I might have wanted it to be this way, but I certainly didn't expect it to be. I am very happy that it is, though. I seem to be on the path of something very livable.
Do you like someone? I don't.
Is a best friend pissing you off right now? Naw. I don't think we've had any drama or tension between us since sometime around 2021.
Are you happier now or three months ago? I am quite a bit happier now. Life is beginning to take on more of a dreamy, creative quality very befitting of this Pisces. ;D
What’s the greatest thing that happened to you today? Visiting the Mountain Park for a picnic. I needed that (albeit very brief) dose of wilderness and snow.
How old do you think you will be when you finally have kids? I don't plan on ever having children.
Are you waiting for something? For a berry bourbon tart to finish baking. It's in the oven now and I can't wait to try it.
If you could change your eye color would you? It would be cool to be able to change my eye color on a whim, but I'm fine with what I have.
What was the weather like today? At the Mountain Park, it was mostly cloudy and chilly with gusty winds. Back in town, it's warmer and sunnier, but still pretty windy.
Do you think you’ll be married in ten years? Life can change so quickly and in such unexpected ways, so while it doesn't feel very likely at the moment, who knows what the future will hold. Like I said above, I certainly didn't expect to be where I am now, and that change more or less took place over the course of 1-2 years. 10 years is a looong time.
Does your ex still love/like you? I have no idea how they feel about me now.
Are you stubborn? In some ways, but I'm also very relenting/go-with-the-flow in others.
Do you tend to hold a grudge? Mmm. It depends. I think I'm more likely to hold a grudge while a situation persists, but less likely to cling onto it once things have quieted down. I might still think negatively of the person in question, but it won't be an active or predominant part of my life.
Where were you at 9am this morning? Mountain Park.
How has the week been? It's been nice.
Did you go out or stay in last night? I stayed in.
Something you do a lot? Lately, bake. I've made six different desserts over the past month - Oreo coffee cake, creamy cashew turtle pie, pecan pie, carrot cake, cream cheese brownie pie, and the berry bourbon tart mentioned above.
How many states have you lived in? Two - Louisiana and Colorado.
Can you commit to one person? I can commit in the sense that I wouldn't cheat on someone, but when it comes to self-sabotage or negative self-fulfilling prophecies, that remains to be seen.
Who was the last person to hold your hand? Probably a past partner.
How many chances do you tend to give people before enough is enough? Depends on the person. Depends on the issue.
Do you think you and your best friend will be friends in 10 years? I hope so. I don't see any reason why we wouldn't be.
What do you miss most about your ex?
Are you attracted to the last person that kissed you? I was.
What’s a fact about the last person you kissed?
Something you really want right now? Snooow. Hopefully on Wednesday.
How long have you liked the person you like?
Does any part of your body hurt right now? Not really.
Did anyone see you kiss the last person you kissed? No.
Can you recall the last time you liked someone? It's been a while.
Are you happy with the way things are going? Mostly.
Do you think you will be in a relationship 3 months from now? No.
What plans do you have for tomorrow? Animal shelter in the morning, then housecleaning and relaxing for the rest of the day.
Has a friendship ended recently that you wish hadn’t? No.
Ever given your ALL to someone who walked away? I guess so…?
Have you ever kissed the last person you texted? No.
Do you and your last ex hate each other?
When was the last time you were sick? I had a migraine last Wednesday and into Thursday.
Are you one of those people who are always cold? No.
Do you tend to waste a lot of money? I can be a little wasteful.
Have you ever regretted kissing someone? Eh. Yeah.
When was the last time you got a haircut? I gave myself a buzzcut a few days ago.
Did you sing at all today? Maybe…?
Would you rather be able to control the weather or control traffic? The weather.
Do you own any articles of clothing with skulls on it? I might have something with skulls on it somewhere, but nothing I'm inclined to wear these days.
Are you faster at text messaging or typing on the computer? Typing.
If you won a trip to a nude beach would you go or give the trip away? How would I even win such a thing in the first place? I mean, why would I enter a raffle or competition with that as the prize, seeing as I have no interest in it? Anyway, I'd give it away.
In your opinion which is the stronger emotion: love or hate? I don't even know how to measure the strength of one emotion versus another.
Tongue piercings - cute or trashy? Whatever.
When it comes to jeans: skinny, flared or boot cut? Boot cut.
Would you rather be a star ballerina or a star break dancer? Both sound cool in different ways. I wouldn't want to be a star, but it would be nice to have those skills.
Honestly - can you say that looks don’t matter at ALL? They don't matter that much to me, and they tend to matter less and less the more I get to know someone.
When it comes to Baseball would you rather be on the field or in the stands? Neither really, but if I had to choose, then in the stands.
I’ve got to know, who do you prefer: Mario or Luigi?
Have you ever changed clothes in a public area (not a dressing room)? Possibly.
How many months apart is your birthday from your best friends? My birthday is in March and theirs is in November.
Yes or no: Techno music? Not my favorite, but it's alright.
Yes or no: pigtails? I don't care what other people do with their hair, but when it comes to my own style, it's a no.
They say diamonds are a girls best friend; what do you say?
Has anybody ever told somebody one of your secrets? Idk.
Have you ever kissed anybody who had a mustache? Not just a mustache, but facial hair in general, yes.
If you were famous do you think you could handle the popularity? I have no idea how I would react under those conditions, but I think I would resent having my life under a microscope.
Have you ever kissed someone whose name started with a letter P? No.
Did you talk to one of your best friends today? What did you talk about? I need to respond to a text from Ollie…
Do you get on better with funny or serious people? Funny. That's not to say I prefer people who are completely unserious, but I do prefer people who are more on the easygoing side.
Do you have mood swings around the time of the month? I just get kind of sad for no reason. I don't really have wild mood swings.
Have your friends met the last person you kissed?
How old is your oldest cousin?
What if you saw your best friend holding hands with your ex?
Your last relationship, who dumped who?
How old were you when you had your first boyfriend/girlfriend?
Is your home town nice? It has its nice points and its not-so-nice points. It's familiar. It's home. Idk. I don't really see myself leaving (as much as I may yearn from my cabin in the mountains).
What if you got stuck in a lift with the last person who Facebook messaged you? I don't even know who that was, but I would hate to be stuck in an elevator with anyone, no matter how much I liked them.
When/where did your last hug take place? In the car outside of my house. My mom dropped me off after we went out for lunch last Wednesday.
Do you consider yourself mature enough to make your own decisions? Sometimes I just don't know the right course of action or don't have the knowledge to make the right decision, but I do try to make as many of my own decisions as I can. That way, if something goes wrong, then I have only myself to blame.
Have your parents ever told you about their love lives, and any previous relationships they had before they met? A little bit.
You get a text from someone saying that they want to hang out - who would you most like it to be from?
Do you and your friends have any inside jokes?
Do you think someone has feelings for you? Are these feelings returned?
What if the last person you texted were to ask you out?
Do you believe in love at first sight? I guess I believe in some sort of intuitive connection or attraction at first sight.
Would you prefer to be somewhere else right now? If so, where? And why would you prefer to be there? Here is good.
When you listen to music, do you ever find that the songs affect your moods and change how you feel? Yeah.
Can you remember what you dreamt about last night? One fragment involved being somewhere like a futuristic mall. A portion of it was dedicated to Elon Musk with displays of his inventions or whatever. There was also a store in which people were lining up to receive some sort of "communion." I don't recall whether Elon was the one handing it out or not, but I was just like, "Hmm...weird." Another fragment involved a group of cats in my care and fretting over a missing kitten. I think I must have had the feral cats in mind…but anyway, I don't think I ever found the missing kitten and was worried it was dead. That's sort of a repeat theme for me - having a bunch of cats with one I can't find or that I've forgotten about only to remember weeks later. Wonder what that's about, lmao. Maybe there's something I'm ignoring or overlooking that needs attention…

FAQ
Hi guys! Sometimes I get repeat questions so I thought I'd make this FAQ post. I think I've covered everything. If you think of anything else that needs to be added, please let me know! <3
What is WIP Wednesday? It's a little game I started doing because of Ash, aka jtl-fics. It’s sort of a way to motivate me to write. And this way I’m able to release tiny little installments each week instead of having to finish whole chapters before I post. It's been so helpful. I've written more since last August than I had in years.
Okay, cool. So, how does WIPW work? When Wednesday rolls around, wait for my WIPW post to appear on your dash then you can send me an ask with your request. After I get done writing, I'll answer your ask with a snippet. :)
Please note: ~ I only take WIPW asks on Wednesdays, hence the name. ~ My ask box button will say either ‘wipw open 🔓’ or 'wipw closed 🔒’. Please do not send asks after it’s closed. ~ I do not answer asks in order anymore. I answer all of one AU’s requests, then move through the rest until I’m done. ~ The length of the snippets varies, based on how the POV changes or how the scenes fall. It also depends on my mental health. ~ Please be patient with me. I’m just a little guy. ≽^•⩊•^≼
What fics do you work on for WIPW? I have six ongoing projects to choose from, they're listed on my pinned post.
Can I send more than one request on WIPW? Please don't, unless I've said otherwise! Getting too many asks stresses me out and if I allow one person to send multiple, I have to let everyone. So, just pick your favorite please! Someone else will ask for the others.
Are your WIPs ever going to be on AO3? Yes! When they're closer to being finished I plan to tidy them up— make minor edits, check for continuity problems, grammar, etc— and post them to AO3! This won't be happening for a long while, so please feel free to go ahead and read them here if you're interested. :)
How do I read your AUs in order? Each of my AUs has a 'masterpost', a post where I link to each and every piece ever written. You can use it to click through and read each piece in order. Alternatively, if you're brand new to my fics you can click the link on the masterpost for a chronological view of the AU's tag! :)
Can I reblog WIPW posts? Absolutely! It makes me really happy when you do!
How can I leave comments on WIPW stuff? You can reblog a post and put comments in the tags, reply to the post, or send me an ask with questions or comments about my AUs! Though I might not answer every comment I receive, I appreciate them all so much. Y'all don't even know.
Do you like fanart? Yes. I love it. I adore it. I will give you my firstborn child. You don't even understand. I've received fan art from three or four people and I still think about them every single day. That being said, if you do make fan art please tag me in the post (@/stabbyfoxandrew) or send me an ask/ message with the link so I can see! 🥺 I'll also link your art in the masterposts so everyone else can find it! <3
Okay, okay. That's all great but do you have any finished fics? Yep! There's several oneshots on my AO3! :3
When are you going to update cosmic lost and found?! I don't know. TwT It got so popular (to me) so quick and I got freaked out and I haven't worked on it in ages. I'm sorry. :( I have the fic planned out, through to the end. But working on it is so hard for some reason. I shouldn't have decided to rewrite canon. :')
Can you tell me about your OCs? Yes. 🥺🥺🥺 I'm dying to tell you about them. If you'd like to know anything about my OCs please, please, please send me an ask! I love talking about them but I'm so afraid of getting on peoples' nerves. :')
Why are you taking so long to answer my ask? Because I'm just a little guy and sometimes I don't have the energy to reply right away. TwT
Can we be friends? Maybe! :) If we're mutuals and you'd like to talk to me, please feel free to send me a message. I must warn you, I'm a lot more awkward in messages than I am in my askbox. I don't know why. I'm sorry. TwT
Do you write for any other fandoms? Not at the moment. (RIP to my klance fics.)
Do you have fic recs? Possibly! It depends on if I've been reading much. You can always ask. I might have to tell you no though. :')
Do you allow translations of your fics? No.
What about podfics? Yes.
Is your name really Aerie, you know that's a clothing brand and also means bird nest? Yes. I thought I made it up when I was like 13/14. Was very distraught when I found out that wasn't true. :') But yeah. Aerie is my name and I love it.
Who's Jess? My younger sibling.
Who's Rascal? My very old cocker spaniel and the best boy ever. :3
...What's wrong with you? Oh. Many things. Some of them probably don't even have names yet.
Thanks for reading my FAQ, if you still have a question please feel free to ask! <3 aerie

Spuder Enid au, idk if you already have an "Uncle Ben" but i was thinking.... what if it was her father? Ik ik, it's angsty, but hear me out;
1) we need more angst, it's been a bit too fluff for it to be called flangst
2) Enid, new to her powers and kinda still a disappointment to her family(really just her mom, but mommy issues hit hard), tries to impress her family(just say mom, Enid, we all know it's just her you want to impress) with her spider powers. She's come up with this brilliant idea, stage a mugging of her mom and save her from it. She doesn't have the money to hire a criminal so she just scopes out areas with high crime rates and gang presence, ya know, lead your mother into a trap and then save her, normal things. So she does that, she asks to go on an outing with her mom, Esther is difficult, saying excuses and stuff. But then Murray jumps in and is like "[persuasion tactic]" and for whatever reason, Esther agrees to go with Enid AND Murray on the outing(maybe the movies? Idk). Enids not too happy with her dad becoming involved, but the show must go on bla bla. So she leads them to where ever the plan would happen, convinces them to stay there while she goes and finds something she dropped, but instead she goes and puts on a quick costume. Let her parents(*mom) feel grateful for being saved, and then reveal it's her so that her mom won't be like "you couldn've gotten here sooner bla bla" and instead would be like "oh my goodness, great hero, thank you for saving me and my husband- *gasp!* you're Enid!? Oh my goodness gracious! I never knew i could be so proud of you!! You are my favorite child and will get all the love and-" *ahem* anyways, she goes and puts her improv suit on and comes back on the roof tops. She sees her parents being mugged! Perfect! Wait, why is her dad trying to fight back? Dad no! HE HAS A GUN! "NO DA-" Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Her father drops to the ground infront of the mugger.
She drops to the ground between the mugger and her father.
"With great power.... comes great responsibility"
The mugger is long gone, but his scent remains.
So she chases it.
She runs and slings her way after him.
She finally catches up to him at an abandoned building.
She doesn't know what it used to be, but it's big.
But more importantly the walls are thick.
The mugger was cornered.
The mugger shoots, but she dodges effortlessly.
She walks up to him.
She's now right infront of him. She can smell he pissed his pants.
She'll never know it, but her eyes are yellow right now.
She hits him. She hits him. She hits him. She hits. She hits. Hits. Hits. Hits. Hits.
It's raining now.
Perfect to wash away the blood on her hands.
It does the job.
She returns to her things.
And she goes home.
3) it's even easier for her to disown her family now
-coffee anon
Holyshit I don't think Enid would be that craving for affection that she'd stage a criminal hit for it,,
You trying to make enid the new batman bc you're abt too make her one with that back story
My idea isn't as angsty bc essentially: Enid with powers not really knowing what to do with it, a mutant crashes onto the area her and her dad are in and Murray goes to help out even with the ongoing crisis. He's leading out civilians with a panicked Enid joining
Near death moment happens, Enid says that he shouldn't risk his life like that! He nearly died dammit and Murray mentions how time is of the essence and that you shouldnt ignore someone in danger simply bc more proper people hasn't shown up
Less with great power great responsibility and more, if you can do smth to help then do it
It's why Enid is so irate at black cat Wednesday jumping in as some sort of decoy. Like Enid is the superhero- the vigilante, she's supposed to do reckless shit like that so other people like her dad didn't need to go play hero in the first place.

hii <3
i indeed would like to ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story :))
your rambling is everything, so go wild on poor little meow meow Larissa and our favourite menace Wednesday hehe
hiiiii!!! sorry it took me a bit before my brain got less mushy and i could string coherent sentences together! i'm still very much sick though so excuse me if i ramble a bit too much lol.
okay so these two live in my brain rent free now. it started off more as a challenge? or something to be like wooo controversy, and like. how can i make this work. but even though it started that way i never intended it to be like, badly done. from the get-go i put a lot of thought into it and wanted to actually make the story as high-quality as i could in terms of character development, their relationship and all the technical aspects (you know as you are one of the betas haha, and you know how many times i tweaked things, proofread, and how many times zephyr and i went through it). like i wanted to develop it as much as one can reasonably do in 14 chapters without getting sidetracked. and that was supposed to be the gimmick, like oh some ppl are gonna think it's controversial but it is actually well done and they might still be inclined to read it if they just bothered to try! (like a naive lil disney princess i forgot this is the internet lol)
the more i got into the story, the more i adored these two and their dynamic, or rather the dynamic i created for them. i think they just work, or more like, i've made them work. ppl have accused me of being a pedophile multiple times in the last couple of weeks while i've been posting the story lol, and asked me if i ship them in the show now, which is imo just fucking ridiculous. this is a separate universe that builds on what we had, or rather should have had, in the show, a story about two grown women who are both very odd in different ways and have found love and belonging with each other. i think neither of them could do a conventional relationship in my universe, and so this makes perfect sense for them!
i love writing larissa as a poor lil meow meow. there is just something about a pathetic, lonely middle aged woman that makes my brain go brrrrrrr. and wednesday is just a delight to write. i love channeling her voice. i used to be a lot like wednesday as a teen lol, that's sorta how i talked (i had no friends lol), so channeling her is a fun blast from the past and feels very natural to write.
it was a joy to write tbh! and personally, i don't think it's like.... even that out there or particularly (hehe) controversial? it's very much a coming of age rom-com sort of thing, but make it like... Quirky and include some dark humour. the outraged reactions i got to it honestly made me wanna write actually controversial stuff lol. i tend to want to spite the haters :)) and prove my point that fiction is fiction. i am very annoyed by the whole puritan internet culture, it really fucking irks me, esp when it's enforced by the self-proclaimed weirdos and goths and whatnot, who don't know what pedophilia even is lol nor could recognise it in fiction or real life. i know i won't get my point across to people who have already made up their mind about me being the actual pedophilic devil, but i will sure have my fun! i can't wait to challenge myself again! :))
also "particular" really inspired me to write longer works!! and i learned that i am most comfortable with that sort of format. all the things i am planning in the future are multi-chapter fics and rather long! and how i prefer to do it now is to write it all in advance and then post -- that way i know i won't lose interest midway haha. i am motivated by that sweet dopamine of wanting to share my work!
so yeah, i met some lovely people bc of this story (looking at you @the-frankenman-writes, actual gem and joy and delight), i strengthened some friendships, and i think it definitely made an impact on people! i grew a lot as a writer and it pushed me to refine my skills! so all in all, i'm very happy <3
stay tuned for the last chapter!!! a christmas special! :)))

Did you see the cast's reaction to the trailer? Did you see how emotional they got? (cause same). Did you see backaof saying they're not gonna get together easily? (crying screaming throwing up) Did you see mark saying that backaof loves making us cry? (wbk mark-- we're already crying)
I am vibrating with EXCITEMENT. Also i keep thinking of the OST and i can't wait for it to be released! Aside from how beautiful it is-- i can already imagine myself putting it on repeat for months, i hope it gives us more scenes to dissect and analyze and obsess over lmao. I think it'll come out by next Wednesday? I hope sooner tho!
I DID SEE IT!!!!!!! AND TBH IM STILL TRYING TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT LIKE. WE'RE GETTING CONTENT??? WITH ALREADY AVAILABLE SUBTITLES??? AND THERE'S MORE TO COME WITH THE OST AND OTHER KIND OF PROMOTION??? IM SO NOT USED TO IT BUT WE'RE REALLY LIVING IN THE LAST TWILIGHT ERA NOW AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER
also i would love to comment the entire video but i feel like i still can't put any coherent thought together so here are some random considerations:
1) jimmysea are always so serious every time they have to watch the trailer for one of their series, we really never get much of a reaction out of them and for some reason i find that pretty endearing???? like they always put everything they have in what they do so of course they would concentrate on what they're watching so intently that they actually forget to comment or react;
2) WE LOVE MARK PARKIN NR. 1 JIMMYSEA SPOKESPERSON AND HYPE MAN;
3) i guess we could have imagined that morkday wouldn't get to be together so easily but actually hearing p'aof saying it....... MAIMING BITING GNAWING GNASHING KICKING SCREAMING. i love what mark said tho, that "despite all the drama, those two hold on tight to each other's hands and love". it makes me believe that, no matter the pain and the hardships, they will never let go, and that's what matters the most;
4) NAMTAN'S GOWN SUSPICIOUSLY LOOKS LIKE A WEDDING ONE SO I NEED TO REVISE MY ENTIRE THEORY ABOUT THE AIRPORT SCENE;
5) i have been waiting for doctor jimmy “unhinged method actor who is all about the process” jitaraphol potiwihok to make a come back and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT
Tumblr media Tumblr media

as someone who feels similar a lot of the time (the thing about the guns exactly whoops), i am so sorry that you feel awful and stuck and that work is so stressful :/ i would definitely try to clarify the situation, bc honestly brains are good at making everything seem like the worst thing to ever happen, even when it probably isn't and you probably won't be fired anyway life is weird and terrible and stressful and unpredictable and kind of neat sometimes but i'm glad i'm on the internet with you now, so let's be on the internet together for a long time ok? sorry if this is weird, and no need to answer or anything but i just felt like sending something :)
that's incredibly sweet, thank you. i often feel like everyone on here hates me (well i know for certain some people do for reasons dumber and more childish than you can probably imagine) so its nice to hear otherwise lol. it's not weird at all, a kind message is always very appreciated.
i have a regular one on one meeting with the team lead wednesday, so i think ill bring it up to her then. like i said i am a little worried about sounding paranoid (which i am but like she doesnt need to know that lol) so since it hasnt been brought up again in any capacity i figured waiting should be ok. i hope.

Hi, I commented on the latest update of your fic but I just wanted to repeat myself that "A Kidnapping By Any Other Means" has been an amazing and very compelling read. I love how you wrote the family and incorporated previous incarnations. I love the mystery and the various twists and turns you throw in. But, more importantly, I LOVE how you wrote Enid and Wednesday. Their interaction at the end of chapter two is going to stick with me for a long time. But I'm mainly writing this to say that I really hope you're doing okay after all the unwarranted shit you received after chapter 13. For people to berate you like that just because a story decision, one that was meant to be upsetting, upset them? That's fucking awful. Writing is a long and lengthy process and no one should tell you how to do it after you've spent so much of your time on it. This is all to say to keep up the great work and fuck anyone who tries to keep you down
Omg, thank you so much for this amazingly kind and sweet comment! I don't think I can express how much it means to me after some of the tumultuous emotions I've been feeling recently.
I'ma be real, a big part of the reason I'm so invested in writing this story is because writing it is helping me get through a really rough patch in my life at the moment.
Enjoying the writing process, coming up with my own headcanon lore, and just building a hopefully fun and engaging story has been awesome enough, but having so many people enjoy it and give it so much more love then I ever expected any of my writing to receive has legitimately brought me to tears (happy ones!) on several occasions, and is helping me get through the stuff I'm struggling with.
Some of those less-than-kind comments have admittedly been getting me down and have even started dampening my enthusiasm for the story.
I might've even considered not continuing it altogether, since adding another stressful thing to my plate right now (especially when that stress is coming from something that's thus far been a humongous source of support for me during this difficult time) would be very bad for my mental health, but having so many wonderful people like you loving and supporting and engaging with my story is making me determined to stick with it.
And, just to make it clear, the comments I'm talking about are NOT any that are angry with some of the characters and their choices, upset because of things that are supposed to be upsetting in the story, or ones that are calling for my blood in a loving way that makes it clear how much they're engaged in my story.
Outside of the purely loving and supportive comments I get, those are the comments I love to read, since it means people are engaging with the story in the ways I hoped they would, getting involved in a discourse about whether certain characters were right or wrong, how certain events made them feel and why, and how people are excited to see what's coming.
The comments I'm talking about are the few people who are criticizing me directly in frankly rude and hurtful ways. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but if you don't like my story choices to the point where you no longer want to read my story, then just feel free to not read it. My feelings won't be bruised as long as you're not unnecessarily mean about it in an intentional comment that you never needed to make in the first place.
But anyways, I just want to thank you again, theenbynightingale; people like you are the ones helping me through a really hard time in my life, helping me grow more confident in my skills as a writer, and helping me keep my spirits up enough to continue writing this.
I appreciate you all so much and am sending all my love to you guys. I'm going to work hard to get chapters out as soon as I can so you have less time to wait before you get to see how this arc is resolved.
