our first event is just two weeks away! we’ll be heading to tanzania’s serengeti national park for a private safari to see the big 5. while it’s not peak migration season, january is a great time to witness both newborn animals, like wildebeests, zebras, lions, giraffes and elephants, as well as the adults, all thriving in the wild as a new generation begins to explore the world!

we will end our stay in tanzania at a resort in zanzibar, where we’ll relax on the beautiful beach. with its white sand and crystal-clear waters, zanzibar offers the perfect opportunity to unwind, enjoy stunning sunsets, and soak in the tropical vibes. we’ll also explore the rich history of stone town, a unesco world heritage site, known for its narrow streets, historical buildings, and vibrant culture.

what you can expect: a two-night stay in the serengeti in dunia camp’s luxurious airy tents, a full day to relax on the beach and enjoy a stay at a 5* resort and spa, lots of fun, camaraderie, event specific starters (even those encouraging open starters), a meme or two, post ideas / optional tasks and more! a post detailing a loose schedule to follow will be posted closer to the event.

just a heads up, like we did in mayhem, we’ll start posting trip-related content on the 20th. this will give you the chance to reblog starters, plan posts, etc., so you can start writing during the week and have more time for the experience. in canon, though, all of this happens within those three days. weekends have always been the slowest since opening, and we want to ensure everyone has a chance to write.

Jogging for to the sunrise at Pidurangala rock was the plan. They warned us for wild Elephants. We got more scared by all these dogs on the way.

The Lion’s Rock is the popular tourist attraction. Owned by the state it costs 40$. Pidurangala is owned by monks and the entrance is 1$. So often prices feel so random.

We made our way to the coast. Kalpitiya is the paradise for kiting with 9 month of wind and many lagoons and islands.

The kite community is not the poorest, which means there are high priced resorts and food, tuktuk and everything else is rising accordingly.

We decided to camp wild, hidden next to the Kitecenter save at least something. Besides the mosquitoes and the thorny plants, we loved our hidden place with private beach.

you belong with me (aaron pace x reader)

summary : aaron is sick and tired of hearing you complain about your relationship problems. he might as well fix them then, right? (i was listening to you belong with me while writing this, hence the title)

before you read: not proofread, reader is gender-neutral, they/them pronouns are used, reader is NOT cadence, reader is sensitive and scared of being alone (me. i am so sensitive). this takes place in a universe where none of the drama happens. just good old happy band camp! is supposed to be a sequel to language exchange but can be read alone, very cheesy? Possibly ooc aaron (i got excited)

wc: 1.1k

part one if you want to read

The two of you developed a routine of meeting up in his room before evening practice and sometimes after - talking about anything that came to mind. Whether that be how infuriating particular people were throughout the day or whether or not the cafeteria food was actually good that day. But today was different, Aaron could tell by the look on your face. It was a look of sadness? But nothing happened to you, at least that’s what he thought. When the two of you finally settle down and start talking, he decides to ask about the elephant in the room. “What’s up with you? You don’t look too well,” he asks, expression contorting into one of concern. You had never seen that expression from him before. You’d seen disdain, happiness, disgust, and other emotions - but never concern. 

“I’m fine,” you say, biting the corner of your cheek to keep from cracking. “I don’t know - I guess I just feel a little bit jealous of my friends or well left out even. They’re all in relationships, or at least getting to that point and they’re all so happy and I just- I want that too, you know?” You try to blink back tears, but fail, so you resort to roughly brushing them away.

“Well you don’t need a relationship to be happy,” he says, taking your hands into his. “We’ve only really talked for a little bit, but I can tell that you’re amazing and-”

“That’s not what I care about though,” you mutter. “I’m just scared of being lonely.” At this, he holds your hands tighter. You look up at him, confused at his actions. 

“You’re not going to be lonely. You have me and well, the rest of the band.”

“But that’s different! I know I’m not lonely platonically, Aaron! That’s not what I’m scared of!” You exclaim, dropping his hands and wrapping your arms around yourself. The tears that finally stopped decided to just keep pouring and become hotter, as you try to take deep breaths to calm yourself down. 

“Hey, hey. Relax, you’re ok. You’re fine,” he murmurs, clearly not wanting to stress you out any longer. 

“No I’m not,” you mumble. “And there’s not even anything I can do about it! I can’t just make someone like me that way!” 

“Well what if I told you I know what you could do about it-”

“What would you even do? Get someone to act like they like me just to appease me? It doesn’t work that way Aaron-” 

“I like you! That’s what I could do about it! That is, if you like me back,” he snaps, instantly regretting it and refusing to look you in the eye. 

“Oh my god. Aaron-” you say, your eyes widening in realization. Your hands immediately go to cover up the fact that your jaw dropped. 

“If you want to leave, leave- I understand,” he says, finally looking you in the eye again. 

“No, no. I’m staying, we need to talk through this-” you say, frazzled and gesturing with your hands wildly. 

“Why? So you can just tell me that you hate me for ruining our friendship now instead of doing it later?” He asks bitterly. 

“No! Aaron, that’s not it at all. If you’re actually serious about this, then you should know something-” You say, struggling to get the words out. 

“What is it?” He asks, eyes shining. You couldn’t tell if it was from hope or if they were going to become teary. You’d feel forever guilty if you were the cause of his tears. 

“I like you too. I was scared of you rejecting me and being lonely forever, no matter how stupid that sounds,” you say, looking away from him. What would he think? Would he shun you for how you felt? Would he kick you out of his room? Would you two never talk again and only treat these moments as fleeting memories? He wouldn’t do that, right?

“We are both so stupid,” he says, breaking the awkward silence and wrapping his arms around you in a tight hug. The two of you stayed like that for what felt like hours, but was truly only minutes. “So what do we do now?” He asks, pulling away with a confused expression. 

“Great question! I know Susie said that if this ever happened to immediately ask what are we and figure that out-” 

“You talked about this to Susie?” He asks, eyebrows raised. You gave him a confused look. 

“Yeah, why?” You question, watching him intently as he tried to think of a clever response. 

“So you’ve had a thing for me?” He asks, smirking at your look of shock at his realization. You don’t even grace him with an answer as you bury your head in your hands. This feels awfully familiar. “There, there,” he says, patting your back as you wallow in embarrassment. “How long was it?” You resisted the urge to make a that’s what she said joke out of what was meant to be a sweet moment. 

“I think since we first met? The girls would tease me for it, but I don’t think I realized until recently,” you murmur, counting the days on your fingers. You did not have enough fingers for this. “But enough about this, we can talk about it all we want later. What are we?”

Once again, a look of confusion returns to his face. “Great question.” Again, he chooses to look at everything but you. You sigh.

“I mean, I’m down if you’re down-”

“Wonderful!”

“Great!”

“Absolutely splendid!” Awkward silence quickly ensues. Though you both laugh, and he wraps his arms around you once more, quickly enveloping you into a kiss that quickly deepens. A knock on the door ruins the moment as he pulls away to get up and answer it. “What the hell,” he murmurs as he separates himself from your embrace. 

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU’RE LATE FOR EVENING PRACTICE,” a familiar voice says. Aaron turns his head to give you a look and you immediately know who’s at the door. Goddamn it Clark. While you get up to see what all the fuss is about and finally make your way to practice, Aaron says something to Clark that you don’t quite catch. Clark goes red and excuses himself, before muttering about how the two of you should just get to practice. 

“What’d you tell him?” You ask, a concerned expression appearing on your face as you face him.

“Nothing you should worry about,” he says, taking one of your hands into his as the two of you make your way there. The two of you walk to evening practice late with swollen lips and intertwined hands, which got a lot of questions from the others, but neither of you cared. You were both happy. 

a/n: erm… ALL THEY DID WAS KISS I PROMISE!! I JUST DON’T KNOW HOW TO WRITE KISS SCENES WITHOUT IT BEING CRINGY. that’s why it got a singular sentence. again it’s lowkey rushed and may need to be rewritten, but that’s a problem for tomorrow me.
