January 15, 2022

What kind of lift did Mitch give you guys tonight?

[sepiamestus]

People are always lamenting soul and maka not getting together at the end but idk i always kinda loved that they stayed friends. And i dont just say this from a shipping perspective i just thought it was really cool to see a male and female protagonist love each other enough to kill and die for each other without it being romantic. Like they are best fucking friends and its great

kait!!! omg ilyt this is for u MWAH 🫶🏼

Your boyfriend is beautiful. His soft hazel eyes, his pretty nose, the most kissable lips, the cute little moles dotting his cheek. Everything about him is just gorgeous. It’s unfair, actually, just how pretty he is. You could stare at him all day long, if he’d let you, but no matter how confident he can be, he still gets shy under your gaze, so you have to be sneaky about it. But sometimes, you just can’t help yourself.

The best time of day — your favorite time of day — is when you wake up before him, warm yellow light spilling in through curtains, and he’s still fast asleep beside you, cheek pressed into his pillow. He always looks so peaceful, so innocent, with his lips parted, his soft, wavy hair falling into his face. He’s perfect.

Scooting in closer to Steve’s sleeping figure, you snuggle into his chest, leaving just enough room to still admire him. From the close angle, you can count each of his long lashes, trace the freckles and moles that dust across his cheeks. A lock of dark hair curls around his ear, another twisting down his neck, disappearing beneath the blanket, even more falling into his face. It’s been a while since he’s had a haircut, and it’s getting long and shaggy.

Fingers tracing down the length of his neck, you twist a soft wave around your pointer finger gently. It wasn’t your intention to wake him up, but he groans softly, nose scrunching up as his eyes flutter open after a moment. You grimace your apology, though he can hardly see with how slowly he’s blinking, eyes still heavy with sleep. Cupping his stubbly cheek in your soft hand, you murmur, “G’morning, Stevie. Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.”

“Mm,” he manages to grunt in response, not angry or annoyed, just still half-asleep. His body curls towards yours, an arm searching for your waist as his nose pushes into the crook of your neck, breathing deeply, “mornin’.”

“Sleep well?” you ask softly, the hand not on his cheek rubbing a gentle line up the curve of his spine.

“Mhm, good,” he breathes out, lips pursing into a light kiss against your neck. “How ‘bout you, baby?”

“Me too,” you reply, moving in closer than you already are, a leg hitching up over his hip to press your torso to his. You’re both on his pillow now, huddled together on his side of the bed. All of your senses are filled with Steve. His smell, his warmth, his strong arm holding your waist, his heartbeat, his sleepy eyes meeting yours.

A lazy smile tugs at the corners of Steve’s lips as your eyes meet. It’s so soft, it nearly makes you melt into the bedsheets right then and there. Sometimes you’re not sure you deserve the softness. The love that Steve always looks at you with. The utter adoration for you that seeps from him, even in this half-awake state. Your hand slides up his back, tangling into the hair at the nape of his neck, running the soft strands between your fingers. You want him to know just how much you love him, too, but you’re not sure how to say it, not so early in the morning. You hope he can feel it.

It’s quiet for a few minutes as you lay with each other, all soft touches and gentle kisses, quiet whispers as the sun rises further into the sky, spilling bright light into your room. You sigh loudly after a while, knowing you need to get up, and Steve, finally more awake, pulls his face from your neck to really see you. He gives you one of his gorgeous, heart-stopping smiles, and nudges the tip of his nose against yours, “I’ll make ya coffee, honey.”

The long, wispy hair hanging in his face brushes against your forehead, tickling you slightly and causing your eyes to close, nose scrunching up. Giggling, you reach up to push your hands into his hairline, pushing all of it out of his face. He looks a bit silly, but still so handsome. “Mm, yes please.”

He shakes free of your grasp, hair falling into his face once again, an over-dramatic pout gracing his lips, “Okay, well I’m not going to make you any if you’re just going to tease me, baby.”

“Sorry,” you rush to apologize, a smile still tugging at your lips as, this time, you delicately push a few strands of hair out of his face, tucking them behind his ear, “‘m sorry. You’re so pretty it hurts, Stevie.”

A soft pink blooms on Steve’s cheeks. His eyes roll, but there’s the hint of a smile at the corners of his lips, “Yeah, okay, whatever.”

“I’m serious!” you reply, a deep frown creasing the space between your eyebrows, “Y’so pretty, Stevie. Prettiest boy this side of town, no question.” You sweep more hair back out of his face, pressing little kisses to his nose, his cheeks, the moles dotting his skin, anywhere you can reach.

Steve all but giggles, face scrunching up as he leans into your touch. “Stop,” he says in a way that clearly means keep going, cheeks somehow even pinker as he pushes his face back into the crook of your neck to hide.

You giggle with him, cradling the back of his head as your fingers continue to card through his hair, “My handsome, beautiful, hot boyfriend and his ridiculously soft hair. Love you.”

“You’re just jealous of my hair,” he mumbles into your skin with a loud huff, and you can practically feel the eye roll he’s giving you. “Love you, too, though, pretty girl. Still want that coffee?”

Hihihihi tbojd was so amazing,,, they started off with her singing, and then they did this really cool thing where they used picture frames as mirrors, like someone would stand on the other side from Jane, and they would make the same movements. It was so cooooollll. They did a bunch of things like that with the mirrors, and then brought them down over her, and they played a glass shattering sound effect. Then they pulled out the light up umbrellas, and were turning the lights on and off and twirling around and stuff. Emma exleys voice was so amazing, and dream of life was also so cool!! I’m posting a shitty video of it on my blog if u wanna check it out haha.

at the end for the dream of life reprise bit, ginger Penny came out with no wig and a cute little sundress.

I also met Emma after the show, and she was so incredibly sweet and kind, and she really loved and appreciated the drawing I made her!! Plus she gave my friend, who cosplayed as Jane, the doll!!! Because we saw it on closing night!!!

love this so much!!! also ginger penny ily forever...

Ok ok ok hear me out…

Nightmare Kai-me.

(Pronounced like Nightmare Time)

Either Kai in existing NMT stories (idk which ones) or just entirely new short stories, both could be cool

ANON ILY!!!

I have been wanting to post about Kai in NMT BUT i could never think of a proper way to insert Kai’s name into the title!

but yes this is a thing!!! Kai has been in the nightmare time universes! It will be mentioned in the NPMK Script, so in case anybody is waiting for that, im not gonna go too deep into it, but she IS there. I feel like for some that would be harder to insert her into, she’d only have a quick line or two, probably something to do with Paul and Emma.

I have already inserted Kai into Forever and Always and Hey, Melissa! so in theory I could script those out.

SO ITS POLL TIME BABY!!!!

Thank you for asking anon!!!! My ask box is always open!!! :D

thanks to @prettylittlealiengirl and @magdacimy for the tag!! 💗

who is your favourite driver?: charles leclerc and oscar piastri (do not make me choose between them i will cry)

do you have any other favourite drivers?: danny ric and max are joint 3rd!

who is your least favourite driver?: i honestly like them all, i don't hate any of them. but if we go for the ones i get less hyped about probably lewis and alonso (i'm so sorry emma)

do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well?: drivers mostly since my two favs are different teams

if you like teams, what team do you pull for?: ferrari girlie forever but mclaren are up there (tbf though i'm here for so many teams too)

how long have you been into f1?: first started learning about it sept/oct 2022. the true hyperfixation started around this time last year though (may 2023)

what got you into f1?: ngl a guy i was talking to liked it and i did that "oh yeah me too!" thing even though i knew nothing about it. started learning random things to not look like a fake. season ended and we stopped talking and i forgot about it until i met my now bf who also likes f1 (maybe i have a type 👀)

then i just started getting bombarded with f1 edits on tiktok and i read a few fics and i haven't escaped the brainrotting hyperfixation since....

do you enjoy fanfic/RPF: absolutely. i did that "must read some fics to see if it's worth getting into" thing i usually do with shows 💀 i do think it shouldn't be shared and pushed onto the drivers themselves though like pls don't be weird about it

how do you view new fans?: as possible new friends! considering i've only been into it properly for like a year now i'm basically a new fan and i love seeing people who are only just joining for this season it's so fun!

if you could take over as team principal for any team, who would it be and why?: see i wanna say williams bc i just wanna protect logan but like... i'm obsessed with the f1 manager 22 game (as in i'm on year 2032 atm and still going) and have been with ferrari from the get go soooo- ferrari is my home (but also i'm so sorry fred ily pls share custody)

are your friends and family into f1 as well?: i got my little brother into it simply by constantly yapping about it. that poor boy went from "it's just cars going in circles" to "lando is my baby and i will protect him!" in a matter of WEEKS. also my bestie @prettylittlealiengirl is an f1 lifer and she's recently joined me in the pits of the brainrot. we love to see it 🙏

are you open to talking to other fans/friends?: always! i actually need MORE f1 friends so pls pls come and say hi! 🥺 my inbox/ask box is ALWAYS open to y'all even if it's just to rant about ur fav driver i will listen happily!!

tagging: literally anybody that's seeing this! this is how i'm gonna make new f1 friends 😂

[maruyaaya]

two small little excerpts of a fun and fluffy fic i’ve been writing because i’ve been sick for the past three days and i needed to write something cute and fun that wouldn’t take me too much brain power to think about and as much as i fucking love angst, i can’t think very hard rn

concept is tracy reznik/emma woods from identity v (tracy my main i love her smsmsm). basically tracy and emma are looking at each other through the window (tracy is in her apartment and emma is in the apartment garden below) and tracy gets distracted and hits her head and knocks herself out and emma rushes up to try to help her. tracy continuously fumbles the bag but it’s okay because emma likes loser girls.

it’s gonna be short def less than 2k words and just cute and fun. it will end with the two of them agreeing to go on a date but not before tracy embarrasses herself over and over again.

i barely talk about idv on here but wow i love that game sm ive been playing for… 6ish years now? since 2019 i think. either late 2019 or early 2020 but whatever same thing. tracy was the first character i ever bought and idc how much they nerf her, she will always be my main. she is forever an s tier survivor to me. i also main (in order of how much i play them) seer, priestess, perfumer, prisoner, and postman. as for hunters; i literally only play joseph 💀 ily my french king. though i am learning naiad bc my friend likes playing duo hunters and i can never play hunters with her bc joseph unfortunately isn’t allowed :(

also here’s a little confession. if any of you were in the idv fandom in 2020, you may know of a blog called totally-correct-idv whose shtick was elinaib… that was me :D i mean if u know of the blog, you probably put two and two together bc really, how many other imedas are in this world, right? i post on there occasionally still but man i kinda had a rush of fame running that blog LMFAO the power went to my head (i just love dramatics guys)

[hersummerskin]

Alexis bday 6.26.24:

HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY BITCHH!!!! Everyday i am so grateful that you are in my best friend in the entire world and alive and still in new york when you could be anywhere in this world and work two blocks away from me <3 <3 Could you imagine telling our 18 year old selves that we would be forensic social workers in BROOKLYN (WE HATE BROOKLYN!!!) and standing on the sidewalk outside your office as m*** walks by and avoids eye contact with both us…actually yeah tbh sounds pretty predictable LMFAO. There is no one I’d rather drink smoothies with on an empty stomach in the 90 degree heat two blocks from court while you frame suicide as an acceptable option and I beg you to reconsider as you make the most lawyer-esque, matter-of-fact argument. BUT SERIOUSLY, there is no one like you anywhere. 

You are still the most caring, selfless person even as your own world is turned upside down. I am sorry this past year was filled with so much grief, shock, sadness, and painful transitions, but I am hoping this next year will be the most beautiful one yet. I wish Alyson was here to say happy birthday and make fun of you for going to anything pride-related, but I know she is somewhere in a place like Central Park without any pain, surrounded by sunflowers and rescue dogs. 

Thank you for all of your perfectly curated Spotify playlists, cups of tea in your apartment on your couch, insane film photographs, Mayday Parade concerts, forcing me to leave my apartment, entertaining my mentally ill reddit theories, sharing your WELL-RESEARCHED AND DOCUMENTED PSYHCOLOGICAL THEORIES THAT CAN NOT BE SPOKEN INTO EXISTENCE, exploring the world (aka chagrin falls and portugal) with me, and showing me what true unconditional love is!!! You are seriously the other half of my soul forever.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR LUNCH AND DINNER NEXT WEEK. YOURE THE HOTTEST, COOLEST, SMARTEST, FUNNIEST, CRAZIEST BADDEST BITCH LIVINGSTON STREET HAS EVER FUCKING SEEN. FUCK MACKENZIE, FUCK EMMA, AND FUCK ANYONE ELSE THAT DOESNT SEE YOUR WORTH. LOVE YOU FOREVER. 26 better be the best year yet… or else. LMFAO <3 <3 ID DIE FOR U ILY

[invisiblemonsters]

happy birthday emma!!!!! ily forever blowing u a kiss through the screen

ily more!!!!!

[diabhales]

(      for kai   /   @graveyardisms​     )     from emma’s perspective, she should already have been friends with kai. he lived with odette, and she certainly saw him often enough — but for the most part, they were casual acquaintances. she liked him enough, especially FOR odette ... but it wasn’t until she recounted a particularly harrowing experience of her oven mitt almost catching on fire as she tried to make vodka sauce that kai had offered to teach her how exactly to cook for herself. living off of takeout and foods that required little more than a microwave were certainly fine by her — she’d made enough salads and sandwiches to last a lifetime. but, considering she dreamed dreams of domesticity, her skills in cooking anything that didn’t have vanilla extract and chocolate chips needed to be sharpened. considerably. today, though — today was different.   “   i figure, you’ve tried to help me enough that a) i deserve a break from failure, and b) ...  ”   a beat.   “   you deserve a break from watching me fail, so  —   ”   cookbook, filled with neatly handwritten recipes in exact amounts, was placed on the table before them.   “   how do you feel about retreating sadly back into my comfort zone ?   ”

[markswoman]

You’re the younger sibling who’s cooler than the older and they resent you for it all throughout high school but you actually look up to them and it hurts that they treat you poorly. However, after a family trip, the older sibling what a genuinely kind person you are and you form a bond that can never be broken. (This doesn’t delve that deep into your character but like if you were in a novel this is how I’d picture it)

hi emma! what about a friends to lovers with peter where reader falls asleep on pete’s lap when they’re watching a movie or something and peter just can’t bring himself to wake her up 🥺 and she basically ends up staying the night and it’s all fluffy and cute eeee

heeheh thank u bb ily. fem!reader; wc: 682

-

Peter wasn’t exactly sure how it’d happened. One minute, you’d been watching a movie together, and the next, you were fast asleep with your head in his lap. It didn’t surprise him that you were asleep; you’d been exhausted from classes and work, but had insisted on your planned movie night when Peter had suggested taking a rain check. He just wasn’t sure how you’d ended up laying in his lap, because you’d originally been leaning against his shoulder. It wasn’t like you never touched (or cuddled, for that matter), but the realization was so unexpected that it sent Peter’s heart racing. 

He finally noticed, and placed his hand on your shoulder gently, speaking your name in a whisper, thinking maybe you’d been half-awake. When he received no response, though, he wasn’t sure what to do. Would you want him to let you be, or wake you up? Honestly, he wasn’t sure he had the heart to wake you up with how peaceful you looked fast asleep. Peter knew how hard you’d been working lately, knew how desperately you needed a good sleep, and decided there was no harm in letting you sleep for a bit. 

Reaching for the remote, Peter turned down the volume of the TV a bit and then grabbed a blanket behind him to lay over you. He ran warm, so he almost never used it, but knew you tended to be the opposite, and didn’t want you to wake up because you were cold. Once it was tucked around you, Peter’s hand returned to your arm, his thumb tracing short lines over the curve of your shoulder as he gazed down at you.

The movie one was one you’d chosen, so he wasn’t exactly interested, even though he’d agreed to watch it. And it became even harder to focus on it with you asleep in his lap. He didn’t want to be weird, but it was hard not to stare with how pretty you looked; your eyelashes kissing your cheeks, your hair falling into your face, lips parted slightly. After a moment, Peter tentatively placed his hand on your head, fingers slipping into your hair as his thumb brushed back and forth over your temple gently. 

It wasn’t until the movie was nearly over that Peter realized how long he’d spent watching you instead of the movie. How long he’d played with your hair or traced small shapes into your skin. Quite honestly, he could do it forever, but you’d woken up just minutes before the movie ended, eyes blinking heavily as the credits began flashing across the screen. 

Letting out a soft groan, you shifted so you could see Peter, “Aw man. I slept through the whole thing?”

Realizing you were awake, Peter’s hand flew up from your hair to scratch at the back of his neck, trying to be as nonchalant as he possibly could. “Oh, um, yeah. I guess so.”

You weren’t oblivious to the soft pink on his cheeks, the way his eyes went wide, “Sorry for falling asleep on you. Literally and figuratively.”

Peter let out a nervous breath — something like a laugh — and shook his head, “That’s okay. I didn’t mind. Really.”

“Okay,” you replied with the same nervous giggle that quickly turned into a yawn. “I should, um... should probably get going back to my place.” 

“Stay!” Peter blurted before he could think it through, “I mean, if you want. You can stay. It’s late. Don’t want you out there by yourself. You can stay here.” 

Heat rose to your cheeks as you scrambled to sit up, pulling the blanket Peter had tucked around you with you, “Are you sure? Don’t want to intrude.”

“Positive,” Peter smiled, seeming much more confident. “We can even watch the movie again, if you want. I’m gonna be honest… I wasn’t paying much attention to it either.” 

You weren’t sure exactly what you meant, but the look Peter was giving you caused butterflies to erupt in your stomach, so you nodded and scooted in closer, leaning back into Peter, “That sounds nice.”
