ETHUBS COFFEE SHOP AU

EEEE oke so i imagine it like .. modern-ish ?

Both of them are like mid 20ies methinks But Etho looks much younger because of his style (i had to take the opportunity to put eefo in alt clothes. im not sorry) And as the note in art said, Bdubs is basically a plant mom– Bonus points if Etho turned out to be older than Bdubs after Bdubs would call him a kid. I- I see this happening. Even more bonus points if Bdubs is transmasc bcs i take this as a option here Alrighty so how i see the whole caffe- Surely it's in vintage style, there's a lot of plants and books on the shelves and vinyls on the walls….. pics i found on pinterest that kinda give me the vibe:

Oh and also! Scar and Ren work there with Bdubs! Scar always brings Jellie there and she often sleeps in pots.. Can you imagine Bdubs’ face when he was watering all the plants and in one of them he found a sleeping Jellie.. 

IMAGINE IF JELLIE WALKED INTO A JUST WATERED PLANT OH NO SHE’D BE COVERED IN DIRT……. I think Jellie chews on dirt too… and bites leaves.. Yeah it’s fun there- Also Grian shows up only when Scar’s there. He says it’s not on purpose but we all know the truth :>

Okok but back to ethubs LMAO

Etho when he shows up in caffe for the first time he just finds the most quiet and hidden corner and sits there. As much as he loves black coffee it’s actually not the first one he orders! He asks Bdubs for a recommendation, he mentions he likes black coffee but is like. y'know i haven't been here before i might as well try something you have to offer… Bdubs gayass brain is already turned on because. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GUY! THE GUY IN FRONT OF HIM! HOLY SHIT HE'S SO PRETTY WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! Bdubs is glad Etho didn’t give him exact order because he would fuck it up v badly. 

So he goes to prepare the coffee, but first; he almost starts screaming. He's flushed. His face is literally a tomato.  Ren looks at him and acts surprised like it has never happened before…….. But then Bdubs realizes he forgot to ask him for a name to put on his cup. Well fuck- (BONUS POINTS IF HE WROTE “emo boy :)” THERE..... IT’D BE SO FUCKING FUNNY..............) He draws a little butterfly :) He likes butterflies :) Etho doesn’t have to know it yet :)

But hey after all Etho did enjoy his coffee! And he even showed up another day again! Win for Bdubs’ gay ass !!!1 And that time he actually asked for the name just to misspell it immediately  yes he wrote “eefo” .. 

So yeah Etho was showing up like every two days or so- Bdubs kept misspelling his name but Etho figured that after a while he was doing it just to annoy him.

Etho’s revenge for misspelling his name was to order the most insane coffee in the world. Bdubs had to write it down because he knew there was no way for him to remember this shit. And afterwards he wrote Epoo on the cup:) 

JKAFHAKJ OK I'M DONE FOR NOW….. IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED I MIGHT WRITE SOME MORE STUFF JUST LEMME KNOW!!!

wait no i have some more random info– 

bdubs loves butterflies 

he has tiny colorful tattoos with flowers n butterflies all over his hands

He collects stuff found on the ground. of course he does.

he sees a flying insect. he tries to catch it. with his hands.

bug lover. ren hates him for it

etho keeps cups with his name being misspelled. not every but only the ones he finds funny

he/they eefo propaganda hello

sometimes he brings his sketchbook and doodles flowers . there's a few doodles of bdubs in there and that's the only reason he doesn't let him look at the doodles….

one time while paying he slipped butterfly doodles to give bdubs bc he figured bdubs is obsessed with them 

KK NOW I'M DONE TY FOR READING MY SILLY BRAINROT UR EPIC <3

[kixa]

Getting Tattoos/Piercings with HQ boys

Pairing: Teushima x reader, Tendo x reader, Suna x reader gn!reader

Warnings: Some suggestive stuff but no nsfw, piercings and tattoos, edibles/weed

A/n: I’m so glad this popped in my brain this idea is scrumptious, sorry this took so long

@killkuma @byougen no explanation

Terushima:

- So my man already has a tongue piercing and he’s in love with it

- Flaunts it and shit wants everybody to know

- I see him more as a piercing dude than tattoos even though he has some

- You have a couple tats but they’re fairly small and not really noticeable

- Teru has been bugging you to get a piercing for the longest (he wants you to get a belly button or a septum he thinks they look sexy asf)

- Once you finally agree he’s geeked asf and literally counts down the days until your appointment

- He decided he was going to get one as well but he wouldn’t tell you where, it was a surprise

- You settled with the belly button

- He waited outside the room because he wanted to be surprised at the outcome

- When you were done you walked out a little hesitant, Teru’s eyes searching for the piercing and then looking to you to pull up your shirt

- You slowly rolled your shirt above your belly button revealing the new jewelry on your stomach

- His eyes widened with glee as his hands reached out for you to pull you closer and get a better look

- He looked up to you and gave the biggest smirk and then he faced back to your piercing and started to lean into it

- “Aht Teru you can’t kiss it it might get infected.” You scolded. He pouted and sighed, “Ok…”

- He opted to give you a quick peck on the lips instead and started to move to the room

- After waiting for a hot minute he returns and once again that smirk had graced his face but he also look a little pained

- Your eyes scanned his body and face for another piercing but you couldn’t find it

- “Where is it?” You questioned and he just chuckled

- You made eye contact with him and you quirked your eyebrow

- He shifted his eyes down then back up, your eyes traveled down to his *ahem* and that’s when it registered

- “Oh…oh my. Teru are you serious?” All he could do was nod his head vigorously like an excited puppy

- “I can’t with you Teru…*sigh* just take care of it otherwise you’ll have a big mf problem,”

- “I know you’ll like it tho-,” he was interrupted by you playfully hitting his chest “ok ok ouch I’m just glad we did this together,” he said as he slipped an arm around your shoulder

- “Me too,” you replied taking his hand in yours

Tendo:

- You would think Tendo was more of a piercing guy but he gears more towards tattoos

- But he does have gauges

- You guys already have a couple, he has one on his neck, a couple on his hands, and a one that stretches across his forearm

- You have *wherever you want your tattoos to be*

- One day while you guys were cuddling and you were playing with his hands you had an idea

- “Hey tori,” “yeah what’s up?” “Wanna get another tattoo together?” You asked

- “Sure whatcha thinking?” You thought as you traced his taurus tattoo along his finger, “Um… maybe a dragon”

- He paused for a minute then jumped up startling you, “Sounds sickk let’s go” he exclaimed

- You quickly caught on but were confused all the same, y’all are getting the tattoo now? It didn’t really matter you were down anyway

- Basically an impulse tat

- On your way there you were looking at more ideas for the tattoo and talking about it with Tendo, he decided that he would get a medium size one on the back of his shoulder while you were getting one closer to your lower back

- When you got there you were in two different rooms but before y’all split he pulled you close for what you thought was a “good luck kiss” but instead just him in your ear, “You know this is gonna look real good on you right?” He let a cute smirk grace his face he did this every time y’all went to get a tattoo just to gas you up

- You playfully push off of him knowing that this was Tendo being naturally flirty and this wasn’t the time to give in to his corny antics

- “Good luck Tori,” you yelled off to Tendo as you walked away “You too cutie,” he replied

- You rolled your eyes laughing softly to yourself

- For you it took about 3 hours give or take since yours was pretty simple and not that big

- Two hours later Tendo finally came out, he was so excited and had a beaming smile

- He turned around to show you the art that now cover his left back shoulder but it looked a little red puffy plus it had the plastic covering it

- Despite the low visibility of his tat you could still make out a dragon in red ink and that shit looked really cool

- “Whoa…Tori that looks hot,” you said a little awestruck “eeee I know it’s so cool,” you had never seen him this excited

- You turned around to show him yours and you were met with silence, “Does it not look good?” You craned your neck o look at the tattoo and then at Tendo

- “Huh? Oh yeah yeah…y/n yours is really hot too,” he said with a dazed look examining your new body art

- Don’t get him wrong he loves it he’s just never seen something like that on you…it looks really badass

- He jumped up to his normal height after crouching down and hooked arms with you and began walking

- “We should do impulse tattoos more often,” you both said at the same

- He cocked his head to the side, “So we’re copycats now huh?”

- “Boy please,” you dismissed “You know you love me y/n,” he shot back

- “Uh huh,” you replied sarcastically

- So now impulse tattoos are y’all’s thing

Suna:

- Suna is a tats and piercing’s guy so he has a fair amount of both

- A snake on his side, skeleton hand atop his hand, one between the collarbone and neck area, and a couple more

- Meanwhile he also has an industrial piercing and snake bites

- The weekend before Suna’s birthday he said what he wanted for his birthday was for y’all to go the shop and get whatever type of body art

- You settled with a tattoo on your wrist and ankle, Suna just went with his septum

- Although Suna is a chill low-key dude he was about as geeked as you were…on the inside though

- …y’all ate ✨brownies✨ before you guys went in, not the best idea

- It was a literal mess like you were giggling up a storm in one room and he was just stone faced staring at the ceiling dazed as hell

- Anyways when you were showing the artist what you wanted your eyes were lighting up like stars and Suna thought that was the cutest thing and he was just gently smiling at you the whole time

- You were a little confused as to why he wasn’t getting anything too extravagant considering it was for his birthday

- “It really doesn’t matter what I get as long as I’m spending time with you,” he answered (please that’s so corny)

- You both split off in to your respective rooms, and of course Suna was done before you because he only had one piercing

- When he looked in the hand mirror he though it looked absolutely sickk 😎

- Guys with septum piercings good god

- He waited for what felt a little like forever, he felt a little bad because he could hear you wincing and sighing in pain a little bit

- I know everyone’s pain tolerance is different but wrist and ankle tend to be the ones that hurt the most

- When you finished before he could talk about your tats you immediately fawned over his new nose ring

- “Omg Suna…this looks so cool, it looks really good on you,” you rambled

- He let a small smile grace his lips, “thank you y/n, let me see yours”

- You about swooned right then and there because of Suna’s smile

- He gently grabbed your wrist being cautious of it’s tenderness and examined the *whatever your tat is*

- After his eyes flicked to your ankle to see the correlating tattoo he was pretty silent then he looked to you

- “These are really cool babe,” Suna commented, he’s a man of not many words but you knew he really liked them

- When you guys left and got into the car he stopped and waited for you guys to get settled then turned to you

- “Um…y/n I know I’m not very expressive when it comes to gratitude or affection but I want you to know that I’m really thankful for you and all you’ve been through with me,” he stated

- You gushed and smiled widely, you leaned in to give him a little peck and he followed suit

- “Oh and remind me to not let us eat any edibles before we come again, because I was really baked and I can tell you were also” he added

- “Omg yes the lady doing my art kept telling me to stop laughing because I was moving my body too much I’m embarrassed now,” you chuckled

- “I’m really hungry now though you wanna grab something?” You questioned

- “Taco truck?” He asked “Taco truck” you answered

Hey Amelia, I was wondering if you could write an adult Reddie fluff fic. Don’t care what it’s about, maybe about Eddie’s ‘allergies’ or ‘asthma’ and Richie does something cute or whatever. I just love your writing, thanks ❤️

Eeee sorry this took a while but hopefully the fluff makes up for it :P It’s probably a little different than you expected but I think you’ll like it. 

Richie probably should have suspected this. If he was a smarter man he would have. But in his post- Derrywise (trademarked, thank you very much) life Richie had decided to stop overthinking things and just act. He hadn’t been thinking when he confessed his feelings to Eddie while the man laid immobile in the hospital, telling him in one long breath that he was utterly in love with him and that it was fine that Eddie didn’t feel the same but Richie just needed him to fucking know because he’d loved him for decades and fuck, that clown had nearly taken all of them out and well shit if he didn’t say it now when was he ever going to? 

Yea, that had worked out okay. Eddie had only looked shocked for a minute before he demanded that Richie fucking man up and kiss him. 

That had been nearly a year ago. A year of change, stress and more happiness than either of them knew what to do with. Eddie had had a relatively speedy divorce- it seemed that Myra didn’t really want to be with him either, thank fuck- then he’d moved in with Richie. Things were good, great even. They had even gotten a fucking dog they were so domestic. 

Richie was stupid in love. Everything that he’d wanted at thirteen was coming true and he would do anything he could to keep Eddie happy.  That was why, when Eddie had mentioned that he’d never been camping, Richie had immediately gone out to buy everything they needed and cleared their schedule to go rough it in the woods.

(Okay fine, he’d sent his assistant out to buy it and book them a spot but what was the point of having people if you didn’t abuse it every now and then?) 

Now though, Richie was regretting it. Deeply. First off setting up a tent was hard fucking work and then they had to cook dinner over a fire that they started? It was bullshit. Neither of them were cut out for this life. Richie was used to LA, with its smog and pretentiousness, and Eddie was used to NY, with constant traffic and irked people. 

Those issues paled in comparison to the current crisis though. 

“Eds breath, please, you need to breath.”

“No Richie! That’s probably poison ivy and that- that’s fucking poison oak and that- that’s pollen and it’s all going into my mouth and I’m breathing it and swallowing it and-” Eddie fanned his hands frantically in front of him, too deep in his own head to think straight. 

“Eds!�� Richie grabbed his shoulders, forcing his boyfriend to look at him. It took Eddie a minute, his eyes scanning around wildly before finally landing on Richie. 

“Breath. In.” Richie took a deep breath in, holding it until Eddie mimicked him. “Out. Focus on me. Nothing else. Not the bugs or the dirt or-”

“Not helping.” Eddie gritted out. 

“Right. Anyway. Me, focus on me. Just me. Look deep into my sexy eyes and forget about everything else.” Eddie snorted but followed Richie as he started breathing again.

They did this for a few minutes, until Eddie had finally relaxed. Richie watched as the tension drained from his shoulders and the panic left his eyes.  “Sorry I- shit, it’s been a while since I’ve had a panic attack like that. I just couldn’t stop thinking about all the bugs and plants and-”

Richie pulled him in, hugging him before Eddie could work himself up again. “We’ve been through worse Eds, I can handle a panic attack.”

Against him Eddie nodded. Richie felt him shift so his cheek was pressed to Richie’s chest. He always said that hearing Richie’s heart helped him calm down, reminded him that they were both alive. Richie called him a dork but he secretly felt exactly the same. 

They stayed like that for several minutes until Eddie pulled back. “Okay- okay what about that hike?”

“Are you up for it?” Richie asked, a little skeptical given Eddie’s very recent freak out. 

He nodded firmly. “I am, let’s do it.”

Eddie was, in fact, not up for it. But then, neither was Richie. Twenty minutes later both were huffing and sweaty. “I need a break - and new lungs.” Richie said, falling onto an overturned log. Eddie sat next to him and Richie heard faint wheezing that he was trying to conceal.

“Do you need-” He stopped. Eddie didn’t need an inhaler. He didn’t have asthma. Old habits died hard. 

“No I -” Richie looked over and saw that Eddie looked panicked again. 

“Talk to me.” Richie insisted, taking Eddie’s hand in his own.

Eddie stared at the ground, looking angry at himself. “You planned all this because I mentioned that I wanted to go camping and now I’m fucking it all up. You’re probably pissed.”  

Richie swung a leg over the log, turning to face Eddie. “I’m not and you aren’t.”

“Don’t try to-”

“Im not saying it to make you feel better. Eddie I’ve waited twenty seven fucking years to be with you, I’m willing to do anything with you, anything you want even if we both suck at it and hate it. I don’t care as long as we’re together.”

“Even when I’m complaining about fake allergies?” 

“Especially then. That’s your sexiest moment.” 

Eddie whacked his shoulder, shaking his head. “Liar.” 

“Eds I-” Richie reached for his pocket, fumbling for something he’d been carrying for weeks. “I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He pulled out the ring, showing it to Eddie. “Marry me.”

Eddie gaped, eyes going from his face to the ring. “Richie- what?” 

“I was planning to do this at a sexier time. Maybe when we were naked under the stars or something but this-” He gestured at them, sweat was rolling down them and both looked a little miserable. “This is us. I want this for the rest of my life.” 

Then Eddie grinned. “Fucking sap.” He nodded vigorously. “Yes, of course.” Richie took Eddie’s hand and slid the ring on his finger, thrilled that it fit perfectly. He’d sized it using Eddie’s old wedding ring but he’d still been worried. 

Eddie leaned in and kissed him gently, cupping Richie’s face with his hands as he said, “Now please, can we go to a hotel? One with a big bathtub and champagne so we can celebrate properly?” 

Richie nodded happily. “Oh fuck yes.” He stood, helping Eddie up and kissing him once more. “I love you.”

“Love you too babe, now get me out of the woods.”

Aaaaaa I just read your fic and i'm in love this was so hot I can't 😭 thank you for writing that masterpiece! Also I guessed everyone correctly, I knew Armin was the kinky one! And Eren...where do I even start? I want them to do things to me aaaa this is all i'm gonna think about today!

You don't have to, but would you share some headcanons about the fic? I'd love to know more, like what do the guys think about the reader now? Is the reader gonna tell sasha and mikasa what happened during some girl talk?

I think it’s so crazy the love I’m getting for that fic because the process I had during writing it was ridiculous. buttt thank you for reading and telling me that you enjoyed. like you’re gonna be thinking about it all day? sheesh.

I feel you tho, especially with eren and armin. they were my favs most def. also, eeee look at you guessing everything right !!

but okay head-canons —

I responded to another persons ask elaborating on eren and armin’s feelings for reader right here. so, i’m not gonna dive too deep into that again in this post.

[eren and armin] are even more enamored by her than they already were. even before the game they had found their minds drifting to her as they jerked off a few times.

and although they’re ashamed, now with the vivid and clear image of just what she looks like fucked out, they have more to work with should they ever find themselves seeking release in the middle of the night.

eren won’t bring it up too much because he doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable but he still continues his flirting, and he doesn’t stop inviting her over to chill at his place whenever she’s feeling stressed and needs an outlet.

as for armin, she looks at him a bit differently; but not in the sense that there’s something wrong. she honestly thinks it makes him cuter, that he could be sweet and intelligent by day, and a fucking demon between the sheets at night. he continues to call her love bug and continues to give her the best hugs she’s ever had, filled with such warmth.

[connie and jean] are like family (along with eren and armin...but like actually). so it really didn’t alter her friendships with them too much. connie is still the same old goofy guy he was before he was sheathed inside her.

and same with jean, always slick at the mouth but just the right amount of sweet to make up for it. for them the experience was what it was. truly something wild that had been decided in the spur of the moment between friends. they were curious, and went for it.

there are moments where they’ll (all) tease her about the occurrence, but it’s always in passing and usually pertains to the current topic of discussion. if she tries to talk down on their way with the ladies, they won’t hesitate to hit her with a ‘you of all people should know what’s up’ or ‘what was that? but you weren’t saying that on game night’

overall they care about her and they know she doesn’t regret the experience, nor does she care about the teasing they do every now and then. she honestly gave them props for proving her wrong that night because she’s never had dick like that before.

mikasa and sasha wouldn’t know unless she flat out told them seeing as there was no direct shift in the way they behaved around her after the fact. they had already saw the way armin and eren acted with her before and had some semblance of an idea of the feelings they had for her.

honestly reader isn’t gonna go out of her way to tell them. however, if it just so happens to slip out on a girls night with drinks, it would be one hell of a story to tell and she supposes she wouldn’t mind sharing it. if it were to happen, mikasa and sasha’s jaws would be on the floor in disbelief.

Some Kind of Magic

Pairing: Shane x Platinum!MC (Veronica/ “Ronnie”)

Words: >2k

Rating: G, Fluff

Summary: Shane and Ronnie reminisce about 2006 and Shane is a being a big melt

A/N: many many thanks to @pixieferry for “beta-ing” this, without whom this drabble would be one huge yikes. Thank you for all your help and all the encouragement 💛 I forgot to ask you about titles so this will do HAHAHA

tagging @8im8the8one bc she ships this and has good taste LMAO

“Do I look okay?” Veronica turns to Shane, then turns back again to the mirror. She pouts and points at the nearly invisible dark circles under her eyes - even Shane couldn’t lie, no amount of concealer can hide the hours upon hours they spent awake brainstorming for her Christmas album. “God, I look like a zombie.”

“But a very pretty - albeit a little tired - zombie.” Shane snorts from his place on the bed from the other side of the room. But she did look pretty, with or without a scary professional stylist who micromanages her everyday clothing choices. “Did Zadie pick that out?”

“Yeah, oh my god, you should have seen her face when she saw me packing this skirt in an overnight bag.” Veronica smooths out her maxi skirt, then cuffs and uncuffs her sweater sleeves. “I can’t believe I kept you up all night writing lyrics with me.”

“I’ll be alright… I’m worried about you, though. Do your fake dates always have to be this early?”

“Dinner is kind of teetering in the danger zone, if you know what I mean.” Veronica winks at the mirror as she ruffles her brown bangs. A non-awkward silence slips in, seconds ticks by before they burst into laughter. “Fiona just said dinner is too romantic at this point, okay?”

“Riiight… we can’t have you munching on oysters in dim lighting with Raleigh Carrera, cause you just might jump him.” Shane bites his lip to stifle his laughter. He almost feels a sense of deja vu - as if they were eight again laughing under the pillow fort that they always build in her parent’s living room. It’s as if this has happened before, except now they’re older and miles away from home - still somehow together.

“Ugh!” Veronica groans in frustration and walks over to Shane’s bed, collapsing beside him. Her weight makes the mattress dip as she tries to find a comfortable position. She ends up squeezed next to him, arms crossed. “I don’t even like him like that.”

Shane nods, closing his eyes. “It does suck that your first relationship is with a hot famous guy, Ronnie.”

Veronica smirks and burrows her cold feet under Shane’s legs.

“Eeee!” Shane squirms away. “What’s that for?!”

“That was for sassing me,” Veronica shrugs. “Speaking of fake relationships, weren’t you my fake husband?”

Back then, it was for a little movie he was shooting with his dad’s camera. That was when Shane fully realized that he’s into the whole concept of telling stories through film, so it’s only obvious that the star of all his projects would be Veronica - who also happens to be the only actress he can find that’s willing to work for candy. Everett, Veronica’s older brother, promised to play the officiant role but bailed at the last second - so they had to be creative and use their teddy bears.

“Damn, you really upgraded.” Shane still remembers that summer and how upset Veronica was when she found out that Shane already ate his ring pop wedding ring.

“Not really,” Veronica shrugs. “I mean, I don’t think he’d re-tie my shoes for me for a whole month until I figured out how to do it myself.”

“Oh my god, you still remember that?” Shane covers his face in embarrassment. “I think you realized you had to do it yourself when I accidentally tied your shoelaces together and you landed flat on your face.”

“Accidentally.” Veronica makes air quotes, earning a scoff from him.

“I was four!”

“I miss that playground… not how the sand tastes though.” Veronica smiles. “Are you coming back home for Christmas?”

“I don’t know, honestly.” Shane sighs. “Mom and Dad are already bugging me about booking plane tickets. Apparently she needs my help to convert a bunch of home videos she found in our attic.”

“Please tell me I’m invited! I want to rewatch all our movies!” Veronica sits up.

“That’s already a given.” Shane stretches his arms then proceeds to feel around the bed for his phone. “Huh… mom just sent me a video.”

Dear Shane,

Dad and I figured it out, but you still have to come home, I know for a fact that you’re not eating well at your dorm… I can tell from your Pictagram pictures. Please tell Ronnie we miss her and we’d love for her to spend the holidays with us. Love you sweetie.

LOL,

Mom

Shane bursts out laughing at his mom’s use of LOL - and the fact that his mother follows him on Pictagram.

“What is it?” Veronica lies back, scooting closer to Shane so she could peek at his phone’s screen. “Aww, I miss your mom too.”

Underneath the message is an attachment of a video, with a slightly blurry, and hauntingly familiar, thumbnail.

“Is that-?”

“Oh god. Oh no. Oh my god-” Shane tries to scramble away but Veronica’s prying hands are too quick, and she snatches the phone away from him.

Veronica taps the play button and instantly, hundreds of voices and clapping meld together into unintelligible noise and the video slowly focuses on the stage as an older student shuffles to the microphone stand. 

“I now have the pleasure of announcing the final act of the Winter Talent Show,” they start a little too loudly, sending feedback throughout the auditorium. “Please welcome Shane and Ronnie as they sing Way Back Into Love!”

The announcer runs offstage and the stage lights flicker on as the curtains open, revealing a ten-year-old Shane and Ronnie by his side - both terrified. Shane remembers that moment when Ronnie couldn’t let go of his hand. The auditorium is silent and whoever is taking the video sniffs.

“Look at us!” Veronica coos at the screen, and just in time the video zooms in to their faces as they step forward to the mic stand. The announcer runs back with a spare microphone and stand for Shane, gives the two kids an encouraging nod before awkwardly running off. Shane looks at Ronnie and they finally let go of each other’s hands to get in position.

The first few notes of the song starts in a soft piano instrumental, and little Ronnie closes her eyes as if to take a breath. She opens her eyes and looks at Shane for reassurance, the uncertainty slowly fading from her face. She sings, softly at first.

I’ve been living with a shadow, overhead. I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed. I’ve been lonely for so long, trapped in the past I just can’t seem to move on.

“Noooo, no no-” Shane grabs a pillow and buries his face in it, trying to drown out his own voice as he sings Hugh Grant’s parts in monotone.

“You weren’t that bad!” Veronica pokes his side as she continues to watch the video.

All I wanna do is find a way back into love.

Ronnie’s voice carries them throughout the whole performance, making both of them sound good.

“I still don’t know how you do that.” Shane tosses the pillow off his face, giving up and decides to watch the video again.

“Do what?” Veronica can’t stop smiling as she watches them finish the song and excitedly hug on stage as the crowd breaks into applause.

“That whole angelic voice thing.” Shane says oh-so-casually, hoping she doesn’t notice the tell-tale blush on his cheeks. 

As the video comes to an end, little Shane and Ronnie hold hands as they walk backstage amidst the applause. Her hands were cold and clammy from nerves, not that he ever cared if her hands were sweaty or sticky with candy. 

“That was so cute.” Veronica wipes her eyes, handing Shane’s phone over to him. “I love you, you know.”

Shane nods, trying not to put too much meaning in her words. “I know.”

“No, really,” Veronica sighs. “You didn’t really want to be on stage but it was my first time performing in front of a crowd that big, so when I asked you to sign up with me and you agreed, no complaints.”

“Well thanks to me we didn’t win, so.” Shane grins. A week after the talent show he gave Ronnie a trophy out of empty tissue rolls held together by glue. 

Veronica sighs exaggeratedly and chuckles. She shifts position, locking her eyes onto his. His mouth goes dry. Was his best friend, since they were four, making heart eyes at him? Nah, he must be hallucinating. 

He tries to squelch that weird flip-flopping in his stomach, whatever the hell it is. Tries to ignore the subtle scent of her shampoo, not quite masked by her perfume, and it takes him back to when they were ten with asters in their hair. Don’t stare at her soft lips - shit too late, too late. They’re inching closer, her breath is warm on his skin and everything’s tingling and

Riiiing!

Both of them nearly jump out of their skin when her phone starts ringing, cutting through the thick tension in the air. Veronica scrambles to get her phone and Shane’s cheeks ignite as he sits up to put some distance between them.

“Hank’s downstairs,” Veronica rolls her eyes and smiles, “Time to show up at fake brunch.”

“Duty calls!” Shane stands up and clears his throat, suddenly feeling awkward. Oh god. That was so unnatural just now. What’s wrong with you, Shane?  “So uh, I’ll walk you out?”

Veronica slips her socks on, quickly shuffling around the room to shove her stuff back into her bag. “Sure!”

“Wait, don’t forget this!” Shane fishes under his duvet for her lyrics notebook, then follows Veronica who’s already hurried out of his room. Shane spots something pink at the corner of his eye, but ignores it as he jogs down the stairs of their shared loft. After Veronica slips on her boots, Shane hands her the notebook.

“Oh my god, thank you.” Veronica takes the notebook and gives him a tight hug. “Hang soon, okay?”

“O-Okay!”

Shane watches as she rushes down the hall to the elevator. She flashes him an uncharacteristically shy smile while waiting for the elevator to reach their floor. It reaches them with a soft ding, and Shane’s stomach drops as his roommates step out - looking confused when they come face to face with Veronica. Veronica gives them a sheepish grin as she steps in the elevator, looking at Shane one last time before the doors close.

Tucker looks back at the closed elevator and back at Shane - who simply shrugs in innocence.

“That was… that was-”

“I thought you guys wouldn’t be home until Sunday?” Shane nonchalantly types a text to Veronica as he steps aside to let his roommates in.

You left your wig 😂😂😂

“Do not change the subject right now.” Tucker lugs his suitcase inside. “That person who obviously just came out of our place-”

“My friend-Ronnie? Yup.”

Shane’s phone pings with a text.

Looks like you have some explaining to do 😂

Another A/N:

1. Ronnie is my Open Heart MC’s (Everett) little sister, she’s 23 and he’s 27.

2. honestly that’s it my mind is already blanking its almost 2 HAHA

3. Oh YEAH I almost forgot to talk about that edit…

4. I feel like Shane turned out as a cute kid but man…. Ronnie was looking a lot more demonic in the previous versions (I used to ILITW MC kids + their faces, not unlike my TRR edit with the TE MCs + the gang)

5. anyway i know i said i quit writing but this just stemmed from me needing Shane x MC content and not finding any so I took it upon myself to just make them lol (also Way Back Into Love is kind of my recent song obsession)

6. I just love hugh grant okay

7. okay bye

The "Right" Way

Authors Notes: Notes: -Asdfghjkl- is the Squip talking to Jeremy ~Asdfghjkl~ is singing ((The tune would be that of the Be More Chill songs: the Squip’s solo and the background chorus))

~~~~~~~~

Jeremy stands just outside Jake’s house, a look of pure determination on his face. He’s figured out a system that -almost- works every time. He thinks he just needs to iron out the last few bugs and pray that God is on his side.

…I thought that LAST time. And the time before that. And the time before that. Now he’s just standing there like a pitiful, lost child.

What he doesn’t realize is his LITERALLY fatal mistake. His very first step. Avoiding the confrontation with… him. I tried to get him to do it the right way the first few times, but he lost all faith in me when I blocked the loser in. Apparently he doesn’t know the term “self-preservation.” I’ll have to fix that.

The last time he fought with Michael, he didn’t rejoin the party. He sat by the door in silence, listening to Michael’s pathetic breakdown. That’s when he decided to try to stop that from happening. On the next loop, he went in, became intoxicated so I wouldn’t interfere (I was getting bored of trying to improve him anyway), and did things differently. Not like it helped; people still keep dying. Michael, Chloe, Brooke, Christine, Jake, Rich, Jenna, even himself a few times. Almost. He rewinds just before he dies. Let’s just hope nothing happens that stops his heart before he even gets the chance to think.

Anyway, I’m bored with just sitting on the sidelines. But moreso I’m bored of living this stupid night over and over again inside his head because he’s too weak to accept death. But if I try to do anything, he’ll just get drunk.

…Looks like it’s time for Plan B.

-Jeremy.-

“What do you want? I thought you were leaving me alone.”

-There’s a right way to do this, to end this night.-

“Oh yeah? What’s that? Locking Michael in the bathroom again?! No way. I swear to God if you try ANYTHING–”

-I won’t. Trust me I want to be finished here just as much as you do. So I’m going to give you my advice. I AM your Squip, after all. It’s my job.-

“…So what’s your advice?”

If I say something extreme first, he will be more likely to listen to the second suggestion.

-Maybe someone NEEDS to die.-

“WHAT?! You’re CRAZY!!”

-No, think about it. It’s a house fire; there are bound to be casualties.-

“Well, yeah, I guess that makes sense… But plenty of people I don’t know die, so…that CAN’T be it!”

-Maybe someone you DO know is just fated to die.-

“‘Fated…to die…?’ But who…? N-no, no! I can’t think this way! I’m not gonna let ANY of my friends die!”

-Maybe you keep failing because you spread yourself too thin. Maybe you should just learn to be okay with failure and death. It seems to be following you anyway.-

“No…that can’t be it… Who could be “fated to die”…?

-I guess you’ll have to find that out for yourself. But that’s not all.-

“Oh, GREAT.”

-Don’t worry, it’s easier than playing God and deciding who should die. But it’s just as important, I assure you.-

“O…kay…?”

-You need to stop avoiding the confrontation with Michael.-

“Wh…No! You heard just how upset he gets… I can’t put him through that again…”

-Do you want to watch him die forever?-

“N..no… Of course not… I can’t take that…..”

-Then LISTEN to me. And obey. Or we’ll NEVER get through this.-

…

-Jeremy, I know what’s best for you. Even if you can’t see it sometimes. ~Everything about you is going to be wonderful.~-

“~But I don’t care so much about me…~”

-~Everything about you is going to be so alive!~-

“~But I can’t even save my friends’ lives…~”

-~Jeeeeeeeremyyyyyy, you can’t try to beeeee the hero you wanna beeeeeeeeee…~ So be more chill.-

“…Be more…chill.”

-That’s right. Now let’s get in there.-

Because of the little pep talk, we end up arriving later than usual. Brooke sees us walk in from across the room and eagerly rushes over to meet us like the dog she’s dressed as.

“Jeremy!” she waves and squirms through the crowd, “I was afraid you weren’t coming; did you get my messages??”

That’s new.

-Play it off.-

“Am I late? Didn’t even realize.” Good. He’s listening to me again. Wait… He’s listening to me again? This doesn’t make… Running neurotypical scan… Showing signs of despondence, hopelessness, and despair. Analyzing probable causes… Ah, of course. The last reset. When Michael went blind. That was the closest he’s ever gotten. And he went and kissed the boy, too. They made it over that pit against all odds, but… It wasn’t enough. They took too long, and the entrance became blocked entirely. No one could get out. He watched as all of his friends choked to death, one by one. He held Michael’s face as he desperately tried to keep him from giving up. He called his name until his very last breath–in that timeline, anyway.

That must be what’s broken him. He doesn’t know what to do. He’s falling back on me again. This…this is perfect. If he lets me guide him through the party, we may actually be able to make it.

~~~~~~~

Things are going well. Jeremy is doing everything I tell him to. Out of nowhere, he just decides to break off from the group and head to the bathroom.

“This doesn’t feel right. Just…acting like nothing bad is about to happen…”

-It will pass. Eventually, it will pass.-

“How do you–Gwah!”

Jeremy is pulled into the bathroom by Michael. He tries to convince Jeremy that I’m going to ruin his life. Which is ridiculous. My job is to improve his life, not ruin it. By any means necessary.

-You can’t listen to him, Jeremy. I’m the only one who can get us out of this. You’ve tried everything. Give up and let me save us.-

Jeremy stares at the floor, his face as clouded as his vision.

“Get out of my way. You loser…”

After a moment of realization, registering that his “best friend” is mine now, Michael steps to the side. I always feel satisfied when we sever the last link to Jeremy 1.0. I have to take control just to stop Jeremy’s tears from falling and walk us out. I don’t let him stay anywhere near that bathroom.

The rest of the party, he just hangs on the sidelines. Too mentally strained to even try to enjoy himself. It’s not ideal, but I can’t push him too much, or he’ll stop listening to me again. I’ve finally regained his trust; I can’t lose it again. Jeremy watches that Rich kid from across the room. He’s fidgeting on the couch, scratching his head often and muttering to himself. Several people have jokingly asked what was wrong with him, but he dismissed them rather violently. Now he’s pacing around the living room, visibly shaking.

“I still haven’t figured out why he acts like that… I should go ask.”

-If you want to.-

He makes his way to Rich, coming up behind him, and taps his shoulder. Rich nearly jumps out of his skin at the touch. He rounds on Jeremy, grabbing him by the shoulders. Upon closer inspection, his face is pale and panicked, eyes bloodshot and baggy, hair unkempt and shaggy. You’d think he was drinking or smoking, but he hardly smells of alcohol or pot. So what could…?

“I NEED MOUNTAIN DEW REEEEED!!!!!” Rich yells, shaking.

Shit. He’s figured it out. How could his Squip be so idiotic? Sigh… Fine. Looks like he needs to be the one to go. Jeremy tries to soothe him, but there’s no point. He’s lost it.

-Give it up, Jeremy. He’ll be fine.-

Jeremy stops, watching him run around now, out of control. Not long after he flees to the kitchen, screams erupt from within and teens frantically flood from the fire.

-It’s time to go.-

“But Rich is still in there! And I can’t leave Michael behind..!”

-Michael will be fine. He already left.-

“He…he did?”

-Optic nerve blocking.-

“…Right…. But still, what about Rich?!”

-Leave him.-

“Huh…?”

-Hurry up and get out of here or I’ll do it for you.-

As Jeremy stares awestruck, eyes fixed on the growing flames, Jenna and Christine pass him; Christine stops for a moment to grab him by the arm, “What are you waiting for, Jeremy?! Come on!!” She drags him out, abandoning the other Squipped teen.

By the time Jeremy regains his senses, he scans the crowd. Christine and Jenna are safe, obviously, Chloe has buried herself under his arm, Brooke is sitting by the road, crying, and Jake has his hands to the sides of his head, trying to figure out how the hell he would explain this to his parents. The only one missing is–

“Michael… Where’s Michael?!”

-Jeremy, he’s–

“No!! I won’t risk it!”

He’s going to jump again!

-We finally made it out of there! You’re going to throw that away?! You don’t know that he’s still in there!-

“But I don’t know that he’s not!”

I need to say something and quick. Time jumping is the only thing I can’t stop him from doing!

-Jeremy STOP!! Or you’ll NEVER break free of this.-

He stops. Thank God.

“…You’re sure he’s alive?”

If it’ll get him to not reset, -Yes.-

“…I can’t risk it.”

-JEREMY–

Here we go again.

((OH

OH OH OH HOH OHHGH FDKNG OH MY GOD!!!! THAT WAS SO GOOD I’M SC REAMIN I HAVE NO WORDS!!!

For a minute I thought this was the “final” timeline, the one where they actually all make it--and I thought what a fantastic idea it would be if the final timeline is what actually happened in the show! So all of the previous timeloops lead up to everything in the actual musical, that’s genius!!

But aaa wreck my hEART AGA IN JESUS, I’m so glad Jer’s so concerned for Michael even though there’s a chance he made it out~~~ And reading everything from the Squip’s POV was so interesting! Especially for this AU, seeing things from his perspective is so neat! I loved it <33333

AND HOLY SHIT I LOVE HOW YOU PUT IN SOME OF THE SONG LYRICS? When I read those I started to sing along and gosh. I am dECEA SE D

AND I ALSO LOVE HOW YOU MENTIONED MY FIC WHEN MICHAEL GOES BLIND I JKNSJKNFKGJ THANK YOU??? THAT MADE THE WHOLE THING EVEN BETTER THAN IT ALREADY WAS

I am shook by how amazing this is, I think I need a minute to sit down and breathe omfg

TY for this amazing fic, I have been blessed by the gODS, my plants are thriving, my skin is clear, I have ASCENDED TO THE ASTRAL PLANE))

How She Got Him To Finally Propose After An Ultimatum And A Breakup That Followed

Are you about to give him an ultimatum: marry me or else…?  You’re lucky you get to read this article first.  Fact is the more you rush him, the slower it gets because you’re creating stumbling blocks to your connection.  Ultimatums don’t work cause it’s not love.  If marriage is sacred to you (hence you want it so bad), why mar it with threats and conflicts at the very foundation?  What kind of marriage do you think you’ll get with this method?

Here’s great news from Luna that she shared in the group: “Thank you everyone! Yes I am engaged to my former ex (now fiancé eeee..) and it is just super surreal! I am so incredibly happy!

It’s a pretty long story but basically we got back together about a year and a half ago when he came back to me and told me that he loved me and begged me to give him another chance. I think he could sense somehow that I had moved on (we haven’t spoken in a little over a year at that point!) But anyways I added him to my rotation of men and then tried my best to just stay as positive and easy-going as I could be. I am an extremely type-A person and can easily fixate on little things too much but this time around, I just let him take the lead.

We had been together 5 years and I was ready for marriage and he wasn’t… but we were both really young when we started dating (around 19) so in hindsight I shouldn’t have been in such a rush. My best friend got engaged the last year we were together so I really got the wedding bug from that and would bring it up pretty often.

But the more I would bring it up, the more he would shut down about it. I wish I’d known more about leaning back at that time instead of letting my anxiety continue to push me towards asking for constant confirmations of his love and how much he cares about me…

I would talk about what I wanted in a wedding and kept bugging him and asking about when he wanted to look at rings even though he hadn’t really spoken much about weddings or engagement. Looking back, it’s pretty cringeworthy but I just thought I was dropping harmless little hints!

So because we couldn’t come to any sort of resolution (and I think because he felt pressured and got skittish), he ended things.

This time around I never brought up marriage or anything and let him lead the way and it all appears to have worked much better :).

Everything flowed pretty easily into place from there! He quickly took the prime spot in my rotation and then a couple months into it, he asked me to be exclusive, and since then it’s been just really loving and wonderful! I just focused on the present and being with him and I firmly believe that letting go of the expectations and worries about the future is what led me to this engagement today!

I know I didn’t post a lot in this group but I did read Katarina’s book and focused my energy on being my best most goddess-like self in the relationship and it seems to have worked! I have never been happier or more in love!

And also he picked out a gorgeous ring!    Thanks for listening everyone!”

Luna Learned Giving Men Ultimatums Doesn’t Work

Luna is one of the 18 reported engagements this year so far.  And she’s one of the 7 ladies -at least- who not only got her ex back but got him to propose marriage in no time as well upon practicing what I teach. She learned from the marriage ultimatum mistake.

Many of you come to me cause you just have no clue how to move your relationship forward, or more likely how to make him move the relationship forward.  You have tried different things, mostly the communication advice you read on the net and how to communicate what you want to your man.

And many of you catch wedding bugs like Luna.  Your friends are getting married and having babies and you start comparing your relationship to theirs.  You begin to feel unloved, unworthy and undesirable…cause why else does he take so long to want to seal the deal (even though it’s just been 2 years or less, at times), right?

In Luna’s case it was five years, but remember they were young too. They had a lot of time to get to know each other and grow up as a person before deciding on this lifetime commitment (or a supposedly lifetime commitment).

Some of you have been married -and divorced- before.  Some more than once, yet you still associate marriage with love, commitment, longevity and apparently happiness.  Haven’t you learned to dissociate the two through your marriage failures?  Apparently changing a mindset isn’t as easy as it sounds.

But I’m telling you, your mindset is why you make one relationship mistake after another.  So long as your mindset is about getting something from a relationship, you will always be ultimately disillusioned.

I get it you want the ring and you want the status and babies.  I get it your biological clock is ticking.  But before dwelling on that, ask yourself: how is your relationship?  Marriage should be icing on a solid relationship, not the other way around.

Most of you get this upside down.  You’re more concerned about a contract than about the reality and state of your relationship.  So I repeat, how is your relationship?

Is it easy?  Is it fun?  Is it great?  Are you bonded?

Or is it rocky, full of distrust and arguments?  Do you fight a lot?  Do you react a lot to what he does or doesn’t do, says or doesn’t say?  Do you even like each other most of the time?

Giving Men Ultimatums Feels Like Control

Funny thing is most who insist on a marriage ultimatum now don’t even get along that well with their guys.  They think if only he would propose I’d like him better.  Or I’d feel more secure. Or I wouldn’t need to nag so much. (Have you implemented the 7 traits of a high-value woman?  You might want to start there first).

Here’s what most of you won’t even realize:  if you need marriage so bad it’s a sign that your relationship is really not that solid. That’s how the one-down mind operates. It needs signs of more commitment. Those who have a very solid relationship won’t worry about marriage cause they enjoy their relationship too much to worry. Women in solid relationships aren’t giving men ultimatums.

So if you want to know if you both are ready for marriage, it is from the lack of concern about marriage. Then when that eventually happens you’ll marry for the right reason which is to celebrate your love and for other benefits that marriage offers since you know you’ll spend the rest of your life with each other anyway.

So yeah…a lot of times a lot of men will need to feel that kind of feeling to be 100% sure that he wants to marry you.  And a lot of it has to do with time, when you have spent enough time getting to know each other’s temperament that you two have a chance to go a long haul.

And what do you think when you start nagging and being sour about it?  How would that make him feel?  Would it make him feel more sure about you that you’ll be easy to live with for the rest of his life?

Or the opposite?

Giving Men Ultimatums will Breed Conflict

It goes without saying.  How can you mar this supposedly sacred union with threats and conflicts?  Even if you get what you want, will you feel fully satisfied?

I bet not.  You’ll think, “How come I have to employ force to get what I want the most, while so and so got it without effort?”

Then you’re back at square one.  That feeling of being unloved is still there.  It’s still there cause nothing has changed internally.  A man or relationship status won’t fix what’s broken inside.

So learn from Luna.  Work on your mindset, work toward self-love because only one person can give you the love you need: yourself.  When you love yourself so fully, he has no choice but to love you with all of his being.  And he’ll do the right thing for both of you when the time is right.  Meanwhile enjoy the ride.  Nothing is under your control anyway, other than your reaction to things.

In the last cycle 3 of Four Component of Melting His Heart, I revealed the 7 reasons why men marry some women -even when they say they don’t want to marry, ever- and stall the relationship on others. If you understand these principles you will no more chase marriage or feel the need to be giving men ultimatums because the more you do it the less he’ll want to marry you. It’s super counter-intuitive like most of my teachings.

And the good news is you can attend this hit program live as well with Module 2 of Feminine Magnetism Group Coaching: Understanding Men and Four Components of Melting His Heart.  It’ll start sometime in July.  We’re currently still on Module 1 Journey Inward (and you still can sign up for this important program as well).

This program will blow your mind away. Everything you believe about men and relationship will be blown off the water. It’s still not too late to sign up, plans are available.
