@temporalobjects asked [  THREE  ] : “ you… you have something on your face. ”

“Oh,” Valentine said, bringing his hand up to his face to try and remove whatever had stuck to his face after the two of them had been eating together. He had thought things were going in a different direction. Considering how intensely Iwai was staring at them. Considering that they had managed to get slightly closer since Iwai dipped from his life. “Did I get it?” He asked, lifting his face so that Iwai could tell him if he had failed to clean himself up properly.

"Don't fucking post about this, Batty. If you're the one who exposes us, I will literally kill you-"

"It was just a selfie, Watcher! Calm down!"

"Hey, babe-" Angelina nudged Aphrodite's side, whispering as she crouched behind the log they were using as a shield. "Found her, with the pink hair. She's on Simstagram - eight thousand followers, too... Impressive."

"What's her name?" Aphrodite asked, refusing to lower her binoculars. She panned back and forth across the group, taking in all their faces.

"Krystal-Anne Halloway. So long, ugh."

[ The Snoozer... | Campfire fun! @ Rory_Oaks ]

"I know the one with blue hair," Allie added, peeking over the log. "That's Rory. She plays the bass, we were in Music Comp 1 together."

Aphrodite nodded faintly, and finally lowered her binoculars. "We'll start with those two, then."

[ Lilit and Stella are from @styxtrait, Krystal-Anne is from @crvptydgaming, the redhead (Clover Sanderson) is from @vampandfire, and the brunette (Sam Forrest - she/they) is from @grim-grinning-sims! Love you all and thank you for the sims :3 ]

Lyrics:

I know that you fear that I'm wicked and weary

I know that you’re fearin' the end

But I only tell the truth when I'm sure that I'm lyin'

So I'm settin' sail once again

He glanced at the clock on the wall, the second hand ticking away at a record time. He made it there early—for probably the first time in his entire life—after Lenora, his foster mom, dropped him off at a semi-decent diner only a few blocks away from her house.

She asked a few times if he’d rather her stay, but he didn’t think that’d go too well. It was a miracle enough that they granted unsupervised visits. Though, he had a feeling his mom wasn’t too happy about it at all.

The last time he saw or spoke to her was the fifteen minute recess in his last hearing. She stopped on her lunch break, barely spoke two words to him, then left again. It had been over a month since. She had surely received a number of letters on the terms of their visits, considering that she had been ruled unfit to care for him, and this was their first allotted meeting time that she agreed to.

Outside, the sky was still gray but the snow had ceased. He had attended his new school for only two days before winter break, and now there were only a few left until he’d have to go back. They were having their new years celebration tomorrow night and he would be surprised if they let him stay up past 9:00 PM. 

He wanted to tell her about how they were. About how sterile their house felt, how his room was made for someone much younger than him, with a toy chest in the corner of the room decorated with classic kid’s toys and little pictures on the walls. 

Maybe he should leave out the nice bed with new sheets and blankets, built with a frame and box spring. And maybe the little basket of fruit sitting on their kitchen counter. And the fully stocked fridge, family photos on the walls, and the desk, beanbag, closet doors, and full dresser in his room. 

Maybe he just shouldn’t bring it up at all.

A waitress walked by and gestured with a pot of coffee. He shook his head no before checking the empty parking spots outside again. 

It had been another ten minutes and she still wasn’t there. Lenora was supposed to be back after an hour, and at this rate they wouldn’t be able to finish their food, even if it was done by then.

He picked at the napkin in front of him, pulling off little pieces and crumpling them up. Snacking on the little crackers in the basket in front of him, he finally heard her shuffle in, trying to take her coat off as the hostess led her in.

She settled in, shoving her coat and purse onto the chair next to her and giving the waitress a smile as she poured her a mug of decaf.

“Hi,” he said as she added her sugar and two creams. She hummed in reply, setting the garbage off to the side of the table, swapping it out for her menu.

He already picked what he wanted before she got there, waiting for her to choose before starting the conversation again.

“How has work been?”

“Oh, just great. The car stopped working again, so I couldn’t get there on Tuesday.”

He never really knew how to respond to her. He knew that things went wrong for her often, and maybe there weren’t many positive things to look for, but it was hard to come up with a response to only negative options. She kept going, talking about how shit work was and the people at work, as he quietly waited for her to be done.

Thankfully the waitress came around again before he had to say anything. They both ordered and sat in silence once again.

“So how are they? Your new parents?” she asked. It didn’t sound like it was in an accusational way, but it was hard to tell when he knew how good she was at hiding it.

“Fine. They’re kinda boring, but it’s okay.”

She gave him a look that told him to keep talking.

“There’s not a lot of color in their house. It looks like it’s a show house, I guess. And they have kinda boring jobs. It’s just not very exciting.”

“Well maybe you should be a little more grateful—raising a kid is fucking expensive, you know that.”

God, he couldn’t fucking tell if she was on his side or not. One minute she was shit talking with him, and the next she was ridiculing him for not being grateful, or appreciative, or thankful enough. Maybe he was reading into it too far, but he wished just once they could have a casual conversation without feeling like he had to worry about saying the wrong thing.

Their food got there and he was quick to start eating, both of them sitting in silence. It was usually like this. Most of the time their conversations couldn’t stay civil, so saying nothing was the safest option.

He thought she’d miss him. Even though it was easier for her—not worrying about getting him to school, not worrying about keeping them in a big enough space, not worrying about putting food on the table for both of them—he thought that maybe they could throw away the tension for one breakfast together. 

Something was wrong, though. He didn’t even try to call her in the last month when they were apart, too busy with his new school and new life to even make an attempt. He knew she was probably busy, too, but he couldn’t help but be upset that she didn’t make an attempt either. Even asking more than one question would’ve made it feel semi-normal. Maybe about his school, or what he had been up to, or what they did for the holidays. Even though it wasn’t much, it was better than nothing. It was better than pretending this was how he wanted her to react after not seeing him—truly seeing him—for two months.

But maybe it was wrong that he didn’t miss her as much as he should have, either. He probably should’ve felt bad for not calling—he did every once in a while—but at the same time, it was refreshing. It was refreshing to be away and stressed for different reasons; not ones that threatened his quality of life.

And even now, maybe he shouldn’t feel so bad. Sitting in silence across from her for a brunch she didn’t seem that she wanted to be at. Sitting in silence after two months of barely speaking, after being taken away from her. After a month in a juvenile detention center he shouldn’t have been at. After being made into a fucking spectacle in front of his peers, the community, for a crime that shouldn’t have even gotten him arrested but somehow his two best friends got off with nothing and he was made to look like a whole ass criminal. Where was she then? After years and years of struggle, you’d think getting out of it would be just the miracle they needed.

we all know saiki is the aroace king but the manga confirms that hairo, too, is an aroace king as well

(context: kuboyasu and kaidou were convinced that he was gay because he didn't really care for girls' chocolates on valentines) (and also a myriad of other things) (but im not saying all that here read the chapter for yourself) (for those wondering its vol 13 ch 134)

Matt as a twin dad has been planted in my head so, dad omens is back!!

disclaimer: all photos found on pinterest, none of them are mine. this is simply a work of fiction, none of this has happened. ever.

so many thoughts under the cut ◡̈

started as a simple kind of moment tbh

a nice date, he just got home. he’s gonna be home for a while, no touring. what better way to tell Matty you’re ready.

“Matty, i love our little life and our fur babies but i think im ready to try for a real baby.”

you didn’t expect the first try to work tbh

and you really didn’t expect such an early positive test

and you really don’t expect two babies

Matt though? he was so excited

he gets to have TWO BABIES?!??

he’s texting the omens group chat the moment at appointments done

“YOU BITCHES ARENT GONNA BELIEVE THIS!!! THERES TWO LITTLE DUDES IN THERE!!!”

thus the planning begins

he’s never leaving you alone, he won’t let you mom by yourself. he WILL be an active dad

and when he finds out they’re both girls??? oh brother is fucked

he’s crying so so hard

“honey we need to pick another name, we only had one planned for each one.”

you settle on “Mira Jean Dierkes and Meadow Brooke Dierkes”

whenever he talks to them, “why hello my sweet M&M’s how are we feeling today?”

he was really excited for a lotr nursery but when you guys settled on the names he said no way, we have to do a subtle little candy land theme

Davis comes to paint the cute little candies above each of their cribs

Noah is Meadow’s godfather and Lana is Meadow’s godmother

Folio is Mira’s godfather and Davis is Mira’s “godparent bc Folio fucking took the godfather name”

you decide on a c-section with your obgyn, she makes sure to explain you can have natural birth after this one but it’s not fully recommended.

“don’t worry, we only wanted two and well we got them”

the birth was smooth, Matt was holding your hand the whole time

he cried more than he’d ever tell the guys

Noah, Davis, Folio and Lana all camped out in the hospital waiting room

with gifts

and balloons

and flowers

and Lana made a huge goody bag for just you

Matt and you swear to never dress the girls identical, you refuse to let either of them feel unseen

he carries both car seats to the car on the way out, helps you into the car, helps you to the front door, helps you straight to bed and then he’ll join you and his little ones

as they’re getting older and their personalities are coming in

you can definitely tell that Mira is just like her dad, has so much interest in his work and his shows and his movies and his music and she just loves her dad.

“you’re my little shadow, aren’t you Mira?”

and Meadow? loves her mama, loves sitting with her while she crochets and loves sitting with her while she reads and Meadow has her own little book, loves being with mama.

Mira looks like her mama though

and Meadow is the copy paste of Matt

buys them valentine’s day gifts

takes them each on one on one daddy/daughter days

and group days

Matt likes to joke with them too once they’re 4-5, purposely mixed up their names

“Mira here is your peanut butter and jelly with no crust and extra jelly.”

“Meadow here is your ham and cheese, hold the cheese.”

and he’s just chuckle a little when he sees them switch plates

ugly cries on the first day of school

every year tbh

high school about takes him out

what do you mean they’re gonna date soon???

what do you mean they’re gonna drive soon???

what do you mean they only have 4 years left???

Mira would rather skip out on the dances but Meadow begs and pleads her sister every time

so now you’re dress shopping AND suit shopping

“i’ll go Dow, but i am NOT wearing a dress.”

“that’s fine, i think you and J- “

“MEADOW SHUT IT.”

Matt and you just look at each other, and know. Mira is seeing someone.

and you guys don’t know much on it, until picture time before the dance comes around and you see the oldest Ruffilo child and Mira closer than usual and that’s when Matt calms himself

“god at least it’s his kid, could’ve been way worse.”

“i mean, do you think Mira was really just picking a pick shirt for nothing?” Meadow would bring up

“they had to match her suit to her dress.”

Nick comes up and talks about it later, wondering how much you two knew versus them.

everyone’s just happy they’re happy

they’d stay together throughout high school, finally coming clean end of freshman year

they decide a college together (with Meadow picking a college not far from her sister)

and suddenly the house is empty and Matt’s standing in the door way of the girls’ area of the house holding their baby book

“can’t believe they’re all grown up, honey.”

“we did good Matty.”

What does your heart look like?

an open door, a burning hearth

Your chest is wide open, and your heart is a home. Others are welcomed in readily and asked to stay. You are comfort and love, everything you were never given but so desperately want to provide for others. You have built this welcoming hearth with your own two hands and won’t see anyone else left out in the cold. Be careful to not burn yourself out trying to keep everyone else warm.

Pondering Seven and MC again and I think it's soooo weird that the fandom tends to put the blame for the vote on MC when a) the band ambushed both of them and b) there's so much variation when it comes to how MC reacted to the vote...? Seven ghosted them for 2 weeks just to break up with them at a party of all places without even trying to have a conversation and actively making sure MC COULDN'T have that conversation with them. MC is not blameless but Seven's expectation was that they choose them over their other friends and the music career they've built so far (such as it was at the time) and to me that just feels like a messy and loaded situation where everyone should have sat down and talked it out... but again, Seven just went no contact immediately after the vote. MC is not a blameless angel but the people around them do tend to place impossible expectations on them with no regard for how MC might feel about it. And tying that back to MC's loveless childhood and how it's possible to play an MC that's so starved for love they put up with endless bullshit from their loved ones really explains why the author herself is a big fan of the single MC route. Idk I love Seven and I love SevenxMC but I hope Seven will come to the realization that they are not just owed an apology — they owe MC one, too :/

Tbh I hate both extremes! I hate when people blame the mc for everything and the other way around when the fandom act like they are blameless in this situation.

Tbf, the mc was put into an impossible situation by their friends (and at least nico resents them a bit over how it all ended with seven). I try not to dwell too much on the whole band fall out and who is at fault yet, I will reserve my judgement until we know what happened at the party and we can play all that scene and really see how it all went down and what was really said in that party

And tying that back to MC's loveless childhood and how it's possible to play an MC that's so starved for love they put up with endless bullshit from their loved ones really explains why the author herself is a big fan of the single MC route.

YESSSSS I’m playing nico exactly like that. But the seven Valentine’s Day special gave me hope that they can learn this lesson togayther. That they can be mature about it even if it’s hard, and that they will both learn how to set boundaries 🥲

Nico is so starved for love she just tries to fill it with being a people pleaser and flings (and alcohol and drugs).

Im so glad jazzy knows the mc so much that she sees what she is going through or what she will go through and expects the mc to just suck it up and play the part even if it’s killing them, and already told her that she will always have the mcs back and to call her whenever.

I LOOOOOVE the part when we get to talk in ch 3 and there is an option after jazzy says she didn’t get to watch their song, that days something like “it’s ok I know you are busy” and jazzy jumps like “NO!” Jsjsjsjjd

I know she just had a war flashback of all the times the mc made excuses for their parents not showing up for whatever reason.

ANYWAYS THIS GOT TOO LONG.
