#cuz my comment was very obviously not meant as an attack but it still got ppl bristled for some reason lol

Laura is really competitive and that can give her an edge where if ur sensitive to vibes or second hand embarrassment it can feel jarring but she’s genuinely really kind, seems like a good mom and partner and all her coworkers always gush about how nice and hard working she is.

Definitely all the CR crew are prob the least “performative” in terms of their public persona when filming CR simply cuz it’s so long form it’s hard to be “on” the whole time. And she’s genuinely fairly intense and competitive! Loves to haggle. Will call ppl on their bullshit. But in a momma bear type way. Idk if you’ve seen it but her character Jester is a bright bubbling hilarious contradiction to Imogen and gives a good example to the range Laura can pull off.

Hope this helps I don’t wanna jump on you! She’s very beloved and I’d feel bad if you had a miscolored impression of her. Obviously everyone’s opinion is valid and she’s just a public figure / actor but i thought I’d share my thoughts.

nooo ur totally fine dw! ur definitely more polite than the person who just told me i'm "projecting" 😭 i understand you coming to her defense bc obv i know she's a very beloved member of the CR cast & a great VA overall

C3 is my very first CR campaign & i'm only at ep9 so i'm sure i'm still only getting to know her as a public persona & VA. i have noticed she's veeery competitive, though! it's personally not a trait i like so maybe that, like, adds onto the opinion i'm forming on her (just as i'm doing w the rest of the cast). & also ur right i'm def real sensitive on vibes/second hand embarrassment & there's plenty of that in any sort of rp activity so sometimes getting through some of the episodes is pretty difficult (bc of the overall vibes not her specifically) 😭😭. but i also totally appreciate that they're just being themselves during the game sessions & it doesn't matter that things get cringey (cringey for me!! bc i'm weird like that)

i loooved her in vox machina though (the tv show). omg. i love love love vex. she's kinda edgy but i don't mind edgy characters tbh. which is why i love ashton so much lol

but yea no thanks for sending ur message & just chatting w me!!

@infinity2639 essay was really well made, it points out a lot of very true and concerning things, you should take a look at it.

for background, I wrote this chubby shouto just as a way to practice. it was done with the intentions of only being read by forty people at maximum honestly and it did pretty well for something I wrote in less than an hour, except I had one particular nasty comment from @infinity2639. now I won’t always say that comments are nasty, but they held no restraint in telling me that I was in the wrong for writing something like that - which of course they’re entitled to their opinion, but seeing that they were the only person to have this opinion i sought out how to improve on my writing because they spoke of how simple it was to fix. they then wrote a 21 paged “essay” which held no actual commentary on how to avoid writing such things, but instead ripped into every sentence and every word and chose to explain how it affected them. since it was a very me, me, me essay, I figured it was best to ignore it because I learned absolutely nothing from it other than the lengths people go to. so... consider this my response, and don’t come back asking for more details because I will not give any more.

so aside from the fact that the essay was written entirely on the basis that this one person decided to continue to read something that obviously triggered them instead of simply clicking off and realizing that this fic was not for them, let’s address these true and concerning things that they “pointed out.”

first and foremost this was a drabble, it was written on my phone and due to the nature of the content I went as far as to ask many people on how I dealt with the issues involving self image when you consider yourself to be fat/chubby/obese. I knew the dangers of what i was writing because yes, i’m not “qualified” enough to write on it from readers perspective, but I figured that maybe I could handle it from shouto’s. I got only positive reviews and feedback so I figured it was okay to move on.

this essay of theirs was obviously very, very personal - to the point where I will go as far as deeming it as being gatekeeping (this was supposed to be an essay on how to properly write on the topic of being self-fatphobic & writing healthy relationship dynamics, not a rant on how much they hated me). this was their opinion and in no way shape or form will I put them down for feeling this way. however, I will say if it made you uncomfortable yet you continued to read, it is not my fault nor shall you pin it on me.

you control your exposure to the content you come across.

the fact of the matter is that infinity and their supporting team of people are those i’m clearly having issues with right now, so it does little to make me believe that this is an actual issue and not boiled over emotions surrounding the ordeal on outside, uninvolved drama. i will admit that those own defensive emotions of mine are unwarranted because if you feel so strongly about my one work it doesn’t matter where you’ve aligned yourself, so i do apologize for initially not liking you - but seeing what you wrote and who you ranted to in those screenshots, i guess i wasn’t far fetched in my initial stance on you. the biggest thing again is that you decided to read something on chubby!shouto, you decided to continue to read through a fic that so very made you uncomfortable to the point that you were having panic attacks, you decided to finish it. I didn’t make you, I didn’t force you. when fics make you uncomfortable, click out of it. it is not my job as a writer to display only honey sweet intentions and if you’re expecting that, unfollow me.

moreover, i’m not an expert on this entire psychological thing - and I will admit that the only intelligence I have on it relies on things ive read, content i’ve watched, and my own personal feelings. obviously it wasn’t the best, I never have ever claimed to be someone who perpetuates only the cleanest and healthiest things even if I try to be well informed on the things I write because yes, while I don’t think you should learn from fiction, I understand that there are some people who do and I try to keep those in mind. the only thing I was trying to do was come at the fatphobic standpoint from a different angle. personally, if I say i’m fat, I don’t want people telling me that i’m not because I know the truth if I am or not. to me, fat has always been equated to being ugly/uglier. of course social norms today are evolving, but being fat is only deemed attractive if you are one curvy bitch, and I know for a fact that is not seen in every single person, so I tried a new approach. at the end of the day my opinion still is that being fat doesn’t make you ugly, and if that’s still an issue for you, are we really sure that i’m the fatphobic person here??? cuz it sounds like maybe it might actually be internalized in you.

but... it’s just.... concerning to me that the only people with your issues regarding my chubby!shouto post is basically you and only you. in the time it was posted I have gotten only positive reviews and anons. plentiful of anons and accounts have thanked me for my portrayal of the topic of being fat (after all, I was not discussing or debating the issues and technicalities of being fat, chubby, or obese) and going so far as telling me that your essay was complete bullshit, which I felt no reason to answer because still after all this time I keep my haters feelings in mind.

and i’m actually not a med student :( sorry that you esteem me so high that you believe that at 20 years old i’m already in medical school - so no, I don’t know the ins and outs of all of these things and i’m sure old doctors probably will fatshame and be much more fatphobic then I ever will be because again topics of being fat were different back then & fat itself isn’t universally applicable per person per case because everybody and person is different. people who have bmi’s far greater than mine are healthier and more fit than I am which is what matters at the end of the day. fat does not equate to health and beauty after all.

now the issues with the abusive relationship tendencies I guess you can pin that on me and my inability to elaborate my thoughts and intentions. verbally attacking was meant to be teasing but it didn’t sound correct/I couldn’t remember the word for teasing when I wrote it. i’m not always entirely articulate and I do fumble with my words and phrasings - as does anyone who writes for fun and not for a job - and if it hit you that deeply, i’m back to my square one thought!!!!!

stop reading things that make you uncomfortable :) it’s really not that hard at all, I promise.

All of you had read all the Sokovia Accords, basically, the governments requiring that all children whose both parents were superheroes be turned over to the government for their upbringing, and ultimately they were not going to allow their family to be separated.

Not to mention that the guidelines established that the children would be under the care of a specific area of ​​the government and that the parents would not be allowed to have any type of contact with them.

"Oh Steve is horrible, the Sentinels took Valeria and Franklin from Dr. Richards and Sue, I could not bear to do the same to our daughters," you said almost on the verge of tears.

The twins slept peacefully in their crib, in a little while they would wake up hungry.

"They won't, I won't allow it, if it's necessary to keep them hidden we will," Steve assured you.

You and Steve, along with their two young daughters had been on the run for the past few weeks as they had refused to sign the Accords.

Ross affirmed that the babies had powers, something that not even you knew since they were barely six months old, however, the man assured it because you are mutant.

As soon as Steve alerted you to the situation, you immediately took the things you thought were necessary. You needed to get out of the place before they came for you.

You had gone to the place that had been left that would be their shelter in case an emergency happened, you had made sure that nobody followed you, you felt how the paranoia increased, you were going to protect them even if it cost you your life, in the refuge you were still nervous, you couldn't communicate with anyone in case the lines were tapped; as soon as your husband arrived, you threw yourself into his arms

"What happened?" You asked him.

"We could barely run away, wait I want to introduce you to someone," Steve replied.

Steve went to the hall and practically dragged his friend.

"This is Bucky," Steve introduced him.

Barnes's discomfort was too noticeable, he was probably afraid of hurting someone.

"I'm Y/N, Steve's wife," you introduced yourself.

Bucky smiled shyly. You went for the little ones to present them.

"They are our daughters," you said.

You showed the two babies to Bucky, who looked fearfully at them and didn't want to scare them.

"If you want you can carry them," you offered.

"No, no, I don't want to harm them," he said in a fearful voice.

You looked at Steve, who gestured to you that everything was fine. Then they began to tell you everything that had happened.

“Where will we go? We can't stay here “you questioned.

Probably someone would find them and hand them over to the authorities.

"Someone you trust is going to help us, Buck too," Steve said.

You looked at it doubtfully, ultimately you didn’t want to lose their daughters

“Who?”

"Someone who made a mistake, I assure you, is on our side."

You still didn’t fully control your powers, just on your 14th birthday the first power appeared, eventually, others powers manifested; The worst day of your life was when your family had decided to go on a picnic in the forest, there they believed that no one would find them, your parents were teaching you how to use them.

A group of Purifiers had found them and began to attack them; your parents had managed to get you to escape, you spent a few hours wandering inside the mouth although you knew the place very well, so you had not lost yourself, you returned to where you had been with your parents; The Purifiers are gone, but the scene was terrible and rugged; on the floor lay the bodies of your parents inert and covered in blood you were horrified.

You got up and went back a few steps, you had to run away before the Purifiers would return or find you before the Brotherhood appeared your parents had warned never to join them

They had also given you an address to go to in case something like this happened, you knew perfectly what to do in such a situation, you wiped away the tears that fell down your cheeks and you went to the place trying not to attract attention to get safely, you knocked on the door of the address, as soon as Fury opened and saw you he understood what had happened, now he was going to protect you.

You still have nightmares about that moment. The fact that these Accords now exist meant that the same thing could happen to your daughters as to you, obviously the mere thought of that possibility distressed you.

You didn’t feel completely comfortable in Wakanda, the concern was constant, you felt that at any time they were going to betray you and someone from the government went to take your babies from you, you also missed being able to visit your parents' grave

Not to mention that also shortly after arriving at the place you had a premonition, it seemed about fifteen years in the future, it seemed an ideal world, and your daughters without fear were using their powers in the courtyard of the house where they lived.

You didn’t know how you could achieve a future such as happiness and with your family.

You looked out the window while little girls were asleep, all those ideas assaulted your head without rest, and your true feelings were reflected in your face even if you tried to hide them.

The damn Accords and the hatred that people still had for mutants were ruining your life and your family again.

“Doll, are you okay?” Steve asked as he entered the room.

You were shocked, you hadn't even heard when he entered.

"I am worried," you admitted.

"Why?" He asked.

“Who are we if we can't protect them?”

"We have to protect them," he assured you.

“How?

“We will have to leave here for security, T'Challa says that he will continue to appear to support the Accords, he will deny that all of us who refuse to sign were ever here, but it is dangerous for us to continue in this place, however, we will continue to communicate” the super-soldier explained.

“Where will we go? I don't understand what you want to do? "You asked.

"Some country where they have not signed, everything will be fine, we will find a way to go unknowns," he replied.

“Sure?”

"It's for the best, we'll do whatever it takes, whatever it takes," he said.

"It has any sense, Steve, we're in great danger."

You were feeling too nervous and fearful about it.

"Let me take care of this for you," he asked you.

"You are the only thing I have."

"Nothing is going to separate us, trust me," Steve insisted.

“I always love you”.

"Everything will be fine, I promise you, I love you."

So I played Nightmare harem.....

I played Nightmare Harem (now I'm broke in more ways than one)

Nightmare harem is an otome game. I have been playing so many different ones but I hadn't found one I loved nearly as much as the arcana but nightmare harem..... really stuck with me. Not in the best way. So let me tell you about the guy I chose.... AND HOW HE UTTERLY DESTROYED ME!!!!! MEET THIS FUCKER RICARDO!!!

First off dont get attached to this face.... the game and story are eh. If you want a lot of romance then this is it. But when I said I'm broke in more ways than one.... I meant one of them being I spent all my money on it.... and it has this weird system where you pay for 15 parts per chapter. But it would probably take a long time to finish the story. Like..... a long time. I think I ended up paying (not proud of this.....) 170.... So I kinda recomend against it.... but it does make you feel and get you attached to the characters. You get to know them pretty well which I feel like a lot of the other otome games dont do. It's one of the reasons I love the arcana because you get to really know the characters and who they are. You get attached and the Nightmare Harem did that pretty well. But here is the thing..... it went into really dark places.

By the end of it I was crying and shaking like a leaf. It actually scared me. I actually felt sick afterwards. I dont know how or why but it showed me all 3 endings. But it showed me the bad ending first and MAN! I COULD GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THE GOOD ENDING AND THE SECRET ENDING! CUZ HOLY FUCK! THAT BAD ENDING HAD ME FREAKED OUT! You may not get this but.... I'd rather he had killed me instead of what happened in the bad ending....

It started off like any normal story. You some how end up in another world. You are found on the demon side of the world. The demons are actually very nice. They treat you well and you like them. But you still want to go home and you are told there is a way to go home but it will only open 3 months from now. So you have to wait. In the mean time the angel side have found out about your existance because humans are rare. (Apparently) so the general of the Angel's meet with the demon prince at his estate (where you are staying) this demon general is none other than RICARDO!

This is where it gets spoilers so stop reading if you plan on playing yourself. SO!

SPOILER WARNING

Well Ricardo takes an interest in you and tells you there is a way to get you home sooner. But it can only be done in the angel side. So he tells you to lie to the demons and leave with him to the angel side. So you do but.....

Very quickly you find out he lied. He just wanted you to entertain him.

Later on you and him become closer. You learned he originally wanted you because you kind of reminded him of his sister who was killed. Later on he confesses his feelings to you by having sex with you. And all that stuff. You guys become very close...... but this is where it takes a dark turn......

Let me break Ricardo down for you. He is a killer. He is known every where for being a heartless killer. But he loves to tease you. He actually made me mad. I actually got pissed. So! When he tries to make you mad and you get a choice to react or not. Dont react. It actually kinda upsets him and it makes it kinda fun.

Hes confident and smart. He loves to tease you but you can also tell he cares (obviously) the more you get to know him the more you see he isnt that much of an awful guy as you thought. He wants to protect you so much. But..... he.... in his want to protect you and be with you.... he goes really dark. It starts out subtle.

He goes to work one day and asks you not to cheat on him or talk to strange men. I automadicly thought he was teasing. After he left the, demons came to the angel side to take you back. They found out you were tricked into coming to the angel side so they came to bring you home. As happy as you were, you told them you would be staying with the Angel's because of Ricardo. Ricardo came in and just started shooting them with no provocation. He said "they came to take you away. So they must die." That's the first time you realize something is off. You eventually calm him down and he stops attacking. And you tell the demons its okay and they leave. After this he gets very attached to you. He doesnt want you to talk with other men.

He begins to skip work to be with you. You know it isnt good so you keep trying to convince him to go so, he wont get in trouble. He spends 2 days with you but if I remember right on the 2nd day you go to help collect some herbs. He tries to stop you but you shake it off and go help. You kind of notice him in the window watching you. It seems like he spent the entire time watching you very carefully. When you go to your own room he is there waiting for you and starts questioning what you were talking about with the guy you were helping. At the end he tells you he must stay by your side.

The next day he decides to take you with him while he does some work because he was ordered to go back to work. He tells you it's fine but you keep questioning it. He says you need to stay by his side. Saying what if something happened to you at the estate while he is away. He said he is worried about the demons coming back to take you away so he wants you with him. He even threatens to take you with him tied up. Sounds like a joke but I dont think he was joking so you go with him willingly.

You end up waiting outside some place for him after he told you to stay and not talk to any one. A man approaches you because he saw you with Ricardo. You both talk about how amazing Ricardo is. The man is part of the army the works under Ricardo.

Ricardo comes out very angry and shouting. You get to choose what to say and after you say it he goes to hit the man. You stop him. Then he kisses you very deeply to show that you belong to him and he teases the man.

He brings you back home and tells you he cant leave you alone because other men will look at you. And if you stay at the estate you will get closer to the other people who live there.

Now pay in mind you arnt just doing nothing. You try to talk to him about it but he keeps stopping you or ignoring you. You notice what is happening and something is wrong. The worry grows more and more with each incident.

The next day Ricardo gets up for work and tells you to rest because.... he exhausted you yesterday. You tell him you cant do that and you have to help a boy named noel with the garden. He tells you to stay in his room for the day. He says he has to do something and he cant take you with him so that you need to stay in his room. He says he will be back as soon as he can and tells you not to leave the room. If you do he will punish you. I was actually terrified when he said that because he hasn't joked about anything seance you two have been together. You know its wrong and you try to run after him. But he closes the door and locks you in there. You pound on the door crying out for him to let you out. You can feel Ricardos need to control you. His confidence with out you is gone. Eventually Noel the boy you help in the garden let's you out. Noel brings you to Mikel. The leader of the Angel's to tell him what happened. Mikel asked if you had given consent to letting Ricardo do that. You tell him no. And Mikel explains how unhealthy yours and Ricardos relationship is getting. You know it is true.

Ricardo enters and calmly but very angrily asks why you left his room. He asks noel if it was him. Noel says yes. And then Ricardo tries to shoot Noel. Mikel is able to stop him before he can hurt Noel. You end up running away not wanting to see Ricardo fall apart anymore. That's when you make the choice that when the 3 months are over.... you will go back home to earth. Not just for you but for Ricardo as well. In the mean time you still spend time with Ricardo not telling him you are leaving.

You spend your last week with him and on the night you are leaving Ricardo learns about what you are doing and goes after you.

He asks you if you are leaving. You tell him yes. He pulls out his gun and says if you leave he will kill you. He asks you if you really loved him and you tell him you do but you cant be with him. And then the dark end showed up... and it made me wish he would have just shot me instead. Although most of that story seemed like a pretty dark ending.

DARK ENDING!

He says he will kill you and that way you will never leave him. But he cant stop shaking. So you walk up to him and hold his gun for him and tell him to shoot so you wont leave. That you wouldn't mind being killed by him. You close your eyes preparing to feel the bullet. He ends up dropping the gun and embraces you. You hold him and tell him you arnt going any where that you wont die and then fades to a few days later.

You look towards the window guessing what time it is because you cant see. You even question how long you have been waiting. Eventually you hear foot steps and Ricardo says he is home. He ends up locking the door and pulls the blind fold off your eyes. Asking you if you missed him. You look at him with so much love and say yes. He undoes your leg shackles but leaving your arms bounded and takes you to the bath. You bathe together and he comments how you have lost weight. You say "really?" And tells you that you can not eat while he is away. It is an order. He asks if you are hungry and you say no. "Seance I dont move much I dont need to eat much." He says he is glad. You think back to when you decided to to stay and how you want to do what ever Ricardo wants. So you let him leave you tied up blind folded in his room while he leaves. You dont think or feel anything other than Ricardo. Thinking you dont mind if you both crumble together.

He holds you telling you not to look at any one else and dont go near any one else. Telling you to only think about him and no one else all the time. Saying he wants you to be unable to live with out him. He asks you if you love him. You reply like a robot saying yes. And he wants you to smile. You try to smile but you cant do it properly because your face is very stiff. A single tear rolls down your face. He asks you why you are crying and all you can say is you are sorry. And then it ends......

SO AFTER ALL THAT IT NOW DECIDES! "Oh hey look at the happy ending!" NO! YOU CANT JUST SHOW ME THAT AND EXPECT ME TO BE LIKE "OH IM ALL BETTER NOW!!!!!!!" NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! WTF!? NO! LIKE OH MY GOD!

THIS IS STOCKHOLM SYNDROME!!!!! LIKE MY GOD! You want a Yandere he is your guy!!!!!!!! And I am ashamed to say! I still really like him!

It reminded me greatly of this comic about a guy who gets kidnapped by his crush and gets very abused by him. If you know what I'm talking about.....I'm sorry....

I WAS SHAKING AFTER THAT! I CRIED! I WAS LEGITIMATELY SCARED! FROM AN OTOME GAME! A DATING SIM! HOLY FUCK! I KNOW IM INTO THE ENTIRE BAD BOY TEASING THING BUT MY GOD! THIS SCARES ME! I know things like that have happened to some people. I think that's one of things that's freaks me out so much to it. Plus dating sims are very personal. You get pretty into them yourselves. The games are meant to make it feel like you are the one being loved.

So that's my thoughts and story. If you want to check it out go do so! I wouldn't recomend against it. Like I said it makes you feel. But I was not ready for that whirlwind. It has good character interactions. I'm kind of..... neutral about it. I found it fun! But all the money it forces you to pay to play is kinda ridiculous. Especially its charm system thing. I find that just kinda lame. But it was fun.

Junior Year In Queens Would Include...

If you don’t understand some references in this part, read the first two parts in the series.

Freshman Year

Sophomore Year

- After the entire summer you had barely seen Peter, partly because you were avoiding him, and partly because when you tried to hang out, he was busy. (Although you knew from Ned that Peter did indeed talk a lot about Evelyn. Oh goody.)

- Plus side: ….

- Actually there isn’t one. 

- Ahh, junior year is going to be interesting.

-  But at the beginning of school May (you can call her May because you love her and she loves you and she’s like a sister instead on an aunt) invites you over. Obviously you can’t say no, May is just too awesome to say no to. 

- You just wanted a quiet night to watch movies and you almost got your wish. Key word: almost. *sigh* 

- Authors Note: Guys… just-just take a guess to who was sitting beside Peter when you arrived. *Jazz hands* *Confetti rains down from the sky* It’s EVELYN. Yayyy….

- Peter smiles really wide when he sees you, and so does Evelyn, except her smile is like someone dumped ice cream, candy, chocolate, whipped cream and tons of actual sugar into a blender and force fed it to you. Or in other words, sickeningly sweet to the point where you wanna throw up.

- You kind of stare intently at the screen as Evelyn and Peter do weird couple shit without even being a couple. Ex: Holding hands and thinking no one sees them, Evelyn starts feeding Peter popcorn halfway through the movie? Her hand is on his thigh and you’re kinda beyond the point of nausea and more to the point of fRICKING PROJECTILE VOMITING YOUR DISGUST OUT RIGHT INTO HER PERFECT SLEEK HAIR BECAUSE DAMN IT CAN YOU NOT GROPE MY BEST FRIEND IN FRONT OF ME? THANKS???

- You get up to “get more popcorn” and god damn it you just stay in the kitchen for a while. May walks in (and being the awesome person she is) automatically sees Evelyn and Peter’s gross shit, and you standing there behind the kitchen counter, looking bored and uncomfortable.

- GOD BLESS HER, SHE FIGURES IT OUT. THANK FUCK FOR AUNT MAY.

- Her eyes narrow and your breath catches cuz when May narrows her eyes, everyone in the room is in for a nasty shit show. 

- You have to whisper so Peter wouldn’t hear you.

- “May, I’m fine, really. This popcorn is uh… taking a long time to pop?”

- “(Name), I love you, you’re a very smart girl, but you’re a shit lair. The popcorn isn’t even in the microwave.”

- “S-shit?”

- Thank GOD the movie ended, cuz after yelling bye to Peter and May you’re out of there sooo fast. 

- Peter keeps asking you and Michelle about what girls like, and every time you and Michelle look at each other and roll your eyes, because damn it Peter how would we know we’re boyish nerds not popular barbie dolls.

- There’s a winter formal coming up and of course Peter wants to go with Evelyn. He asks you about EVERYTHING. 

- “Hey, do you think she wants to match? What about the corsage? Should I cut my hair? I heard her say she likes shorter hair.”

- So you finally explode. (Well kind of. It’s still Peter, so you don’t explode, but just go ‘pop’. It’s really hard to be mad at him, and you did your best.)

 - “Peter, I am a NERD. I might not even GO. I’ve never spent more than five minutes on my clothes, much less wasted time to make sure they match. Your hair is fine. But if it makes you feel better, I’ll help you get ready.”

- So here you are, helping May get Peter ready for the dance. 

- “What are you going to do with my hair?”

- “I have an idea.”

- You make Peter wash his hair and leave it curly. 

- “(Name), can you pass the hair gel?”

- Instead, you reach over as Peter is brushing his hair and ruffle it like crazy.

- *Internal screaming because it’s sO FUCKING SOFT AJIANCIWCN*

- “wHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

- “Calm your shit Peter it looks better when it’s messy.”

- After he leaves you go to Michelle’s house and chill with her, as she also chose to skip. 

- Peter and Ned keep texting you photos and it’s very annoying. 

- After a about forty minutes of almost non stop texting, (most of them texts were pictures of Evelyn and Peter dancing) you calmly took your phone and repeatedly slammed it against the couch cushion. Michelle just snorts.

- “Why don’t you just mute the group chat?”

- “...fUCK OKAY.”

- Fast forward to the last months of the school year, Peter and Evelyn aren’t dating yet but the entire school ships them, and Evelyn finds the BEST ways to hurt you when he’s not looking.

- Sticking her foot out to trip you, snide comments about your clothes, sometimes when you’re talking she’ll “accidentally” act like she wasn’t listening, etc... 

- Peter obviously doesn’t hang out with you guys as much. I mean, he’s dating THE most popular girl at school. He tries to talk to you guys, but it doesn’t work out because random girls (and sometimes guys) hit on him, and it’s really awkward. 

- “Hi (Name), do you wan’t to watch a movie a-”

- *A random girl asking him for the tenth time, looking ready to pop out of her shirt* “Ohmygoddoyouwannacometomypartytonightbecauseitsgonnabegreat.”

- *You, maybe a tiny bit pissed* “Oh. my. god. can. you. please. stop. trying. to. get. him. to. fuck. you. please. and. thank. you.”

- IN THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL. YOU THINK: “Wow, I made it through the year without being made into a complete idiot.”

- THEN DIS BITCH (Evelyn). DESIDES TO TALK BAD. ABOUT MICHELLE. TO HER OTHER FRIENDS. 

- NO ONE TALKS BAD ABOUT MICHELLE WITHOUT GETTING THEIR ASS WHOOPED.

- NO ONE. YOU HEAR? NO. ONE. 

- After like thirty seconds you’ve had enough, and actually start to yell out of nowhere. 

- “What the frick frack diddily dack patty wack snick snack crack pack slack mack quarterback crackerjack backtrack thumbtack did you just say about my best friend you psychotic bitchy fuck.”

 - Oh THAT didn’t go well.

- Her tall ass friends surrounded you in seconds, and she was way too close.

- You didn’t mean to, but years of being bullied meant that when someone you don’t like is too close, you punch them.

- She... she ended up with a very bad black eye. 

- And Peter just had to show up right then and there. You could have sworn he looked angrier than you ever saw him. He was all over Evelyn, with the “are you okay”s and “what happened”s. 

- Her friends blocked them from your view, there was no way out. The only one who got to tell her side of the story... was Evelyn. 

- Peter looked at you once. Just once. It was the first time you felt unsafe because of him. Because he looked ready to hurt you. And the fact that he would have hurt you if you stayed there any longer was what stung the most, but you didn’t wait to test that theory. 

- You fucking ran out of school and didn’t look back, barely noticing that you were almost run over by cars sprinting across the road. 

- Your parents made you go to school the next day. Evelyn’s friends were there, of course. One moment you were in the hallway, then in the girls bathroom, then running again as they chased you off school grounds. 

- Delmar’s sandwich shop was where you hid for a good hour, just walking around the isles with a black eye, a bruised jaw and a limp. 

- Mr. Delmar finally saw you and (thank all that is holy) didn’t call the school. Your parents were overseas for another business trip and wouldn’t answer either, so he gave you an ice pack and listened to how your week went. (You left out the whole Peter and Evelyn thing.)

- His daughter came out, and was really understanding. She gave you the address to a “really cheap special defense gym”, which was cool. 

- You avoided Peter (and basically everyone) until school ended. 

- And when it did end... Boy did you run to that self defensive gym faster than a hyperactive kid on white power. (Relax it’s sugar. I think...)

- Turns out it was an abandoned underground boxing gym, gREAT RIGHT?

-That summer was spend by sneaking out of your apartment, mercilessly attacking old punching bags and using the exposed support beams on the roof as an obstacle course at the abandoned gym. 

- Whenever you felt like giving up you remembered how helpless you felt in front of Peter of all people, and that made you angry like nothing else could. 

- Being Mr. Stark’s assistant and working at his lab also meant you got to use the new Avengers headquarters to tinker with hand made weapons and (probably) illegal chemicals. Mr. Stark would often see the bruises from your training and ask lots of questions. 

- “So... you’re not secretly a super villain, right kid?” 

- *sigh* “For the last time, no Mr. Stark.”

- One thing was for sure, you would never let anyone hurt you again. See you in senior year, Evelyn.
