Friday the 13th Snippet Special

I'm going to post some of my snippets that didn't make the cut for my Hale-o-ween lineup. Happy Friday the 13th!

1. Malia Runs into Theo

As Malia rounded the corner, she almost ran into Theo who was holding Bree in a sling. She jumped back. Scott was still looking at the witchy stuff. He only saw her jump from the corner of his eye.

“What is it?”

“Nothing, I just ran into Norman Bates and the seed of Chucky.”

Scott looked up and saw Theo and Bree. “Don’t be rude to Norman Bates.”

Malia ignored Scott’s comment. “What are you doing here?”

“What do you think I’m doing here? I’m getting a costume for my angel. It’s her first Halloween.”

“That’s no angel,” Malia snapped. “That’s half the creep factor from The Shining.”

Theo held up two options. “Which one is cuter? The bumblebee or the ladybug?”

Malia stared at him with her arms crossed and didn’t blink. Theo waited patiently for her answer. Scott had slipped away to another aisle.

“The bumblebee,” Malia relented.

Theo smiled. “I think so, too. What do you think, Bree? The bumblebee or the ladybug?”

She stuck her little tongue out and closed her lips on it. She reached for the bumblebee costume.

“The bumblebee it is. That is a great choice. I’m going to call her Bumble Bree.”

“Get out of my face,” Malia said.

2. Stiles is Going to Con People

“There’s going to be a hay ride,” Stiles added.

Isaac cocked his head. “Tempting, but I’d rather fall asleep on the couch instead of the field where you’ll run me over with the tractor.”

Stiles winked and went into the other room.

“Where are you going for trick or treating?” Peter wondered. He stood behind Lydia and wrapped an arm around her waist. She smiled and leaned back against him.

“Babies aren’t allowed to eat candy,” Lydia reminded them.

“I know,” Stiles sassed. He leaned on the back of the couch with his left arm propping his up. He crossed his left ankle over the right. “The candy’s for me. I’m just hiding behind my kids because it’s much better to hand out Kit Kats to a deer, a dragon, and Minnie than some old guy in a suit.”

3. Kira's "Costume"

Kira joined the party in scrubs and a white coat. Her stethoscope hung around her neck. She smiled at her friends and went to join Malia, Lydia, and Allison by the orange feathered Halloween tree.

“I guess every day is Halloween for you,” Allison said.

“Oh, I am in costume.”

Malia shifted uncomfortably in her shoes. “What are you? Is this not what you wear to work?”

“I’m a doctor in the ER.” She smiled. “I borrowed the stethoscope. I usually wear my regular clothes to work.”

“You’re allowed to do that?”

“I figured no one would care. I’m in the morgue anyway. Who else are you going to get to be the M.E.?”

“Fair enough.”

4. Stiles and Derek Review the Candy Stiles Conned Out of People

Derek turned the signal on. “What did you get?”

“I got some licorice from Erica, peanut butter cups from Parrish, starburst from Deaton, and an egg from Coach.”

“An egg?”

“He said he didn’t want to waste the candy since our kids can’t eat it. He had eaten most of it himself anyway.”

5. The Hales Go to the Halloween Store

Malia and Scott paced down the aisles of the décor, Stiles rolled the stroller down the baby costume aisle with Derek next to him, and Cora and Isaac followed. Peter, Lydia, Jackson, and Allison wandered towards the back.

“Don’t we have enough decorations?” Jackson asked. “Every day I get home from work, it’s like walking into Dracula’s castle.”

“Vampires!” Stiles exclaimed.

Allison eyed the skeleton head soap dispenser. “Is there anything from this store we don’t own?”

“Yeah.” Peter gestured to the shelf. “We don’t own Skabs the dog corpse.”

“I guess that wasn’t here when we came three days ago.”

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005 9:42 am you see that kid... its not me, its you. blow out the candles on caring. encounters yesterday: went to paul walls jewelry shop. pretty insane. then when we played jared leto came over and watched. radio shows are wack. encounters today: the gold medal gymnast from the 2004 olympics is coming to hang out with me. pretty insane. why would you ever want to meet a boy like me. i am boring. you make it easier to make the decisions that i do. i turned off the switch that cares. i watch lots of movies and take lots of naps. cause i am a baby. i am gonna be in the academy video for black mamba. i can't tell you how excited that makes me. Wednesday, October 19th, 2005 11:48 pm ill be on time for that, i cant think of a line that rhymes with that blue looks better than jealousy. im awake but not up. you know what i mean. blew the speakers out like a candle. drowned out my sorrows in a wet dream. i miss you but only in flashing moments. new stuff over at buzznet. people been asking about the prices. honestly we charge what it costs us to make. alot of the stuff lately has been cut and sew or requires hand stitching which is expensive. so we try to keep the stuff really limited, so that it stays special. the bags sold out in a day. we won't be making anymore of that particular bag. but we will be making more limited bags and other items.

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005 4:40 pm hateitorloveit-theunderdogisbackontop sickest afterparty in newyorkcity. hopefully i can fly a friend or two in so i dont hide out in the corners all night. nick thinks my lj entries have been kinda wack lately. i can't say i dont agree. i am a total baby. but not a baby like usher sings about. we're making some super sick limited bartskull nikes. im tired as usual. rumor of the day: i pretty much only like sxe girls. you make me laugh too much with the stuff that gets written on the internet sometimes. my life is radical sometimes. maybe ill really update this later. i dont even know. congratulations to panic at the disco for having the sickest first week numbers ever. that band is the new everything. late at night thats pretty much what i have to listen to or i dont feel okay. this morning i got a strange phonecall to end a strange dream. bane. Tuesday, October 4th, 2005 9:22 pm "someday we'll be nostalgic for this second..." im tired. red thread. baby blues. im a mess. lovable, not that likeable. lemme hum you a sweet one. i know ive been in a rut. the underdogs back on top. im writing this story. but i wouldnt bet on the ending. sometimes this thing has become too big to even think about. but sometimes i wake up in the morning and it feels like something is missing. youknowyouknow. 6:57 pm the secret to my suckcess pinchme. dear friends, you let me fall off. i forgive you though. if you forgive me. i am out of my head. me and nick have cooked up the sickest idea ever. i am writing a movie with patrick. my tummy hurts most of the time. major disappointment, reporting for duty. wtf. sometimes OMG! i heart the drama. sometimes OMG! i do not. like emeralds just past the sun- green but not the sick inside more like the film warming up to you. the camera is waking up. little boys and girls- get up. the trouble has lifted. youre gonna be okay. "tell me that you're alright". i like wearing your clothes. they are like a bulletproof vest. mostly i miss my friends and chicago. i want to bring you all out on the road.

"...idonthavetobethekingoftheworld, as long as im..."

peace out. i need to take a nap and eat some icecream. i bought nicholas scimeca a present. im tired. act suprised, even if you're not. fake the words. say i love you hard like you hate me. Saturday, October 1st, 2005 4:48 pm life on mars by david bowie reminds me of you the dreams i have for me are just for us. i am not sure i even know what this means. the pros and con are the same. legs tangled. its the kid you loved forever. i got a feeling what they're all saying. under the spotlight you think about the inside of wedding rings. in dark bunks you think about the inside of zippers. make me yours. make me come to life. honestly. black hair and batted eyelashes. dont give up im not sure where this is all going. right on reds and at altars. thinking about the way you are with the little pudgy boy. im getting this sweet tat. she knows what im talking about. Sunday, September 25th, 2005 7:29 pm the spaces in your hand were designed to fit my fingers dear world,

i have actually been sleeping late. i think it's not cause i am depressed. rather i just need to catch up on a couple of years. i think that the last while of my life is perfectly represented in the movie "closer". not to have a whine tasting... but. the point of saying that is more- i got the chance to show some of my friends our new video the other day. and in watching it, i am really stoked that one story comes through. there is this girl in it and she loves this guy just for who he is. and they aren't the prettiest or the coolest- but the thing they have is awesome. and perfect. it made me smile to see it come across. demar for pres. 2008. my bestfriend left town yesterday. totes devistation. summer bummer. blender is throwing a little afterparty that william beckett will be djing. if youre on the g-list you will be dancing. i am going to corpse bride tonight. i lost my crackers seeing p!atd live. they gave me the balls to make some decisions. im thinking about having all my body hair waxed off because it seems particularly offensive. you dont even wanna see what ive got planned for halloween.

my body isnt yours anymore so you dont have a say in what i do with it. im this creature that resembles me but im something different.

Jasper Birthday Bash

Aura: Happy Birthday, Jasper

Jasper: *Grins and pops his head off, holding it out to her* Why thank you, Aura!

Aura: *Giggles*

Jasper: *Pops his head back on, smiling*

Aura: Seems like you're having a good time!

Jasper: Of course, my friends put their back into the decorations and everything! Back in Halloween Town we would have the biggest birthday bashes ever!

Jasper: All my friends and family would be there! The mayor would come congratulate me himself, residents from the nearby towns would get word and send happy birthday cards and gifts

Jasper: *Laughs, placing a hand on his chest* It was quite the party, mountains of food, gifts and more

Jasper: Fun games for both the adults, teens, tweens and kids! My parents always have everything prepared~

Aura: That's amazing, sounds like quite the party

Jasper: Yep! I remember one time that the mayor of Winter Town came to give his sincerest birthday wishes, I was only eight at that time!

Jasper: Gave me this huge present, there was a scarecrow doll inside, I still have it to this day

Aura: That's cute~

Jasper: *Chuckles embarrassed* I guess so, I named him Jackster, and the mayor of Winter Town sometimes teases me about it through letters since I cannot sleep without it for the life of me

Jasper: I'm proud to have Jackster with me, even though others might criticize me about it. It's none of their business, it's mine so they can bud out and go about their day

~~~~

Part 2

Aura: How do you spend your days outside of club and classes?

Jasper: I take a leisurely walk through the orchard but only when it's growing dark, I like how things look at night it's calm and comforting

Jasper: Sometimes I run into Malleus and we take a stroll together talking about our respective things. I'm quite interested in gargoyles thanks to him

Jasper: That's actually why I'm apart of his club, who knew gargoyles could be such an interesting topic to discuss with others, we're going to make some next meeting

Jasper: That reminds me, I got a book on gargoyles from Malleus, I've been reading it every single day, I even ordered other copies with the allowance my parents send me

Aura: You must have a big allowance

Jasper: A huge one, my family runs a Scare Factory, where we create Halloween stuff and all that, my elder brother, Casper, will be taking over one day

Jasper: I even suggested making scary looking gargoyles and you know what? He liked the idea! Everyone did, we even had a three hour call with Malleus about it all

Jasper: *Chuckles, tapping his cheek with his thumb* We're all really excited to see what they're gonna look like when everything is finished!

Aura: That's adorable, I'm glad you two get along

Jasper: Me as well, he's a cool dude!

Aura: Haha...don't let Sebek hear you call him 'dude'

Jasper: *Chuckles*

~~~~

Part 3

Aura: So what's one thing you're good at? Or a hobby you have?

Jasper: Ah, I like to learn history from ghosts

Aura: *Stares in surprise* Excuse me?

Jasper: Hehe, I like talking to the third and learning history from them, did you know Halloween Town used to be called Halloween Kingdom

Jasper: A tyrant king ruled over it until his children ultimately decided to strike him down and rebuild everything from scratch thus creating Halloween Town in the process

Jasper: I was shocked to hear my hometown was a kingdom and not a town, but everything starts from somewhere you know

Aura: When did you start learning from the ghosts?

Jasper: If I remember correctly....I was five or six when I started learning from them, a ghost had told me a random fact out of the black and got me hooked on it

Jasper: *Places a hand on the top of his head* I remember always running outside and bothering the ghosts about the history of each place in Twisted Wonderland

Jasper: I asked about how blot came to exist, the fae and human war, Halloween Towns massacre-

Aura: Massacre!?

Jasper: Oh yeah, my ancestor went crazy once and went on a murder spree, but they were stopped

Aura: Oh dear...

Aura: Anything else?

Jasper: I'm good at mimicking peoples voices, I tend to do it whenever I don't wish to be found or talk to someone

Jasper: I use it mostly on Kalim and Bishop, because I really wish to avoid them. Livia as well, she's treasured greatly by Malleus and gets spoiled

Jasper: I don't wish to be on her bad side or anyone else's, that's why I mimick the voices of those they know and send them running away

Aura: Oh, alright, they'll be kinda hurt when they hear that you know

Jasper: I know,maybe one day we'll be chill but not right now, I can't handle shining bright people

Aura: I see

Aura: Well, the interview as reached it's end! Happy birthday again Jasper!

Jasper: *Pops his head off* Why thank you

Aura: *Laughs* You're silly!!

Jasper: I know~~

-----

Jasper: *Tosses his head up in the air, Vil looking shocked while the others laughed or smiled at how silly he was acting*

Goodbye, Texas.

Maybe I’m being dramatic. And I say that largely because I’m literally coming back in a couple months for my friend’s wedding. But still, even though I’ve technically lived in Seattle for the last year and a half, this flight back feels different. And I think that’s because this time around, there’s not a clear ‘end point’ like there was with my previous travel contracts or the residency program.

I’m eternally grateful for these last 2 months at home. It’s a rare thing to have that much time off to spend with friends and family, especially at this stage of my life. And I’m aware of that. But after the year that I’ve had with residency, I certainly needed this time to combat all the burnout that I was feeling.

During this time, I visited all the major cities in Texas (Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio). Went to Mitch’s engagement party. Met Kris and Kelsey’s baby girl. Celebrated Stephanie’s and Millie’s 30th birthdays. Took my parents on a birthday cruise to Cozumel. Spent Halloween in Austin with Kristina and Marcos. Celebrated Thanksgiving with my parents for the first time in a while. Partied with my cousins at David’s wedding. So many life milestones crammed into the few weeks I was at home, and I feel so validated that I waited to start my Seattle job until December. (Specifically in a financial sense, saving money on rent and consecutive flights to and from Seattle through the month of November).

But as my trip home comes to an end, it feels deeply bittersweet too. I think seeing old friends and coworkers with their young kids and growing families, along with the onslaught of emotions I’ve felt in seeing friends turning 30, has me reflecting on where I am in life and the future I envision for myself.

At the end of this month, I’ll have finished my 5th year of working as a PT. I can no longer consider myself a ‘new grad’, that’s for sure. After visiting CRIT this month, it’s funny how much can change and stay the same after all this time. When I think back at my time there, I’ll always be reminded of the love I received as a baby PT and the growth that I experienced through the COVID-era there. And while I still know the majority of the PT team, seeing them in their varying new chapters in life has given me a tangible sense of closure. I’m so incredibly happy to see them happy. And the quote I have for them is the idea that “if you love something, you let them go.” So I release them and pray for their continued growth and happiness.

At this point in time, I’ve now lived outside of San Antonio for 2.5 years. And I really don’t have any regrets. I think if I had stayed in Texas, a part of me will have always wondered what travel therapy would have been like. And I’m grateful that, with a little help from faith, God made that journey possible for me. Three travel contracts and one residency year later, and here I am choosing a life lived outside of Texas. I would have never known this was possible for me if I hadn’t trialed it out for this long.

I think I needed this time at home to come to terms with that too. Throughout my time in Seattle, I had this romanticized idea of life back in San Antonio. And I think that was the nostalgia and homesickness that painted that memory. But having been back for as long as it’s been, I’m coming to realize that as beautiful as my upbringing and memories are here, it’s part of my past now. One that I’ll always regard in my heart with gratitude. But any attempts at rebuilding a life back there sort of feels like taking steps backwards. Like trying to revive a memory of my past that just doesn’t exist anymore.

So I sit here in the San Antonio airport at the crux of the next chapter of my life. One where I’m privileged to choose what my future can look like. And I think the one thing that’s holding me together is knowing that I’ve taken this leap of faith before. To California. To Philadelphia. To Seattle the first time around. So I know God’s got me, and I’m grateful I already have a support system waiting for me.

I wonder if this is what my parents felt like when they were flying away from the Philippines for the last time. Saying goodbye to their childhood and their past. Feeling equal parts anxious and optimistic about what’s to come. Maybe every person at some point in their life goes through this exact moment.

I blame turning 30 in a few months.

Nevertheless, Texas, thank you for raising me. Thank you for a childhood filled with beautiful memories and seasons of adversity. Thank you for my loud and loving Texas family, as well as the friends who have become chosen family. And thank you for growing my faith to know that God is and will be with me through it all.

[an-anonymous-autobiography]

i hate birthdays. or more accurately i hate my own birthday.

to me they’re just sad. they’re reminders of all the years i’m losing. they’re dull days where nothing happens. i know this seems kinda selfish or vain, but i don’t think i’ve ever had a proper birthday party. like i did the standard “going to kids world” and “jelly and ice cream” stuff when i was little, but as i got older they just stopped and nothing really came along to replace it. i see my friends and family having their birthday celebrations and it always looks so fun.

they have their big get together and they all dress up for it and look amazing. they have decorations and sparkles and streamers and banners and those giant metallic birthday balloons. they’ll go out for a meal together and have cake with sparklers, or go to a club and get the coolest looking drinks and dance together, or just party at home with tables full of appetisers and hors d’oeuvres and canapés and whatever other words people use to make cocktail sausages sound posh.

but i’ve never really had that. i’ve not never done anything for my birthday, like i’ve sometimes done like pizza hut or zoos or something (generic eatery or generic day out) with a couple of friends, but i’ve never had the big social occasions that everyone else gets. and as usual i’ve never had chance to be away from my family so they’re always there overshadowing everything making it feel like i can't fully relax into it and just enjoy what little time i do get to be normal.

i missed out on so much and i’ll never get those experiences back. of course there are things i could still do and do want to do but cos i have no experience with them i’m scared to actually do them cos i don’t know how to react to it.

all the things i crave i’m terrified of.

like i’m not saying i wanna dress slutty and go get shit faced with my friends. but sometimes i just wanna dress slutty and go get shit faced with my friends. i want friends. i wanna have the opportunity to do all the things everyone else gets to do.

i didn’t do halloween this year. i haven’t since i was like 8 or whatever. but since starting to do more stuff like going to dan howells show and seeing noah finnce live (wow two whole events), i’ve been getting the confidence to do more and i asked my friend if we could do something for halloween and she said if she had time off work then sure. i hurriedly put together a costume and patiently waited for her to find out her schedule, which as it turns out she’s busy on halloween. not cos she’s working but cos she forgot and agreed to meet with some other friends instead of me and go on a cruise around greece. then she went to the isle of wight, then like 2 days later she was in london with her rapper friend who’s filming a music video, and last i saw she was back on the isle of wight.

i’m not pissed off that her life doesn’t revolve around me. i get that she’s her own person and can do what she likes. i’m pissed off that she knows what my life is like and still thinks it’s acceptable to constantly string me along like she does. in the past few years every plan we’ve made has fallen through cos she either hasn’t followed it up or has found something more interesting to do.

she’ll go on spontaneous trips to iceland or go to a show and then buy tickets to see the same show again in ireland like a week later, but she can’t spare 2 seconds to finalise a meet up, or will tell me how money’s tight right now so she doesn’t know if she can make it, or that she’s sooooo busy with assignments but can still make time for brunch with the girlies every other day.

she knows what my life is like. she knows i can’t do shit. yet she still makes half-assed plans with me and gets my hopes up that i might finally get to do something only to drop me like a tonne of bricks when she realises there’s a better option.

i think as well another big part of the issue is my mum doesn’t like me doing things alone cos she doesn’t see me as a competent adult, or god forbid maybe even a full person, she sees me as a humanoid blob of autism and doesn’t think i’d ever be capable of existing without constant supervision, so i don’t have any choice but to constantly rely on unreliable people to be able to do the things i wanna do.

to me she is the best option. do i like it? fuck no. if i could think of every option i’d want to choose she wouldn’t even make the list but cos she’s the only choice i have, i don’t have her same luxury of dropping the boring friend. if i did we'd never fucking speak.

Tamika Wood's Birthday Party

Chapter One: Tamika Wood's Birthday Party

1 2 3 4 5

Alan Sebastian

31 October 1998

I feel awkward. That’s true in general but even more true tonight because I’m at a party. I wasn’t even invited but Scott says it was a general invite and insisted that I go.

It’s Tamika Wood’s birthday party (Not a Halloween party. Not a costume party.) and I’m not friends with Tamika.

“She goes to our school! You know who she is.” Scott had said.

But I’m not even 100% sure I know which one is Tamika Wood and which one is Tiffany West because they’re always together and they both have brown hair. Also Scott dated both of them for a while although not at the same time. Scott has a lot of girlfriends but none of them last very long.

“I don’t know if she knows who I am,” I had protested.

But Scott had laughed and pushed me on the shoulder. “Everyone knows who you are!” he said.

And I didn’t know what to think about that but I kind of wanted to keep arguing with Scott in case he touched me again. I do not have a girlfriend and I do not want to have a girlfriend. Right now Scott does not have a girlfriend. Which is sort of a problem for me.

My twin sister Michelle is also going to the party. I don’t know if she is friends with Tamika but she just rolled her eyes when I asked her. It looked weird because she’s wearing lots of black eyeliner.

So Gillian drove the three of us to Tamika’s place. She even bought Sub Zeros for Michelle. We’re only fifteen and I don’t think we should be drinking alcohol but Gillian said she trusts us to be sensible.

“Thanks, Mum,” I said as we got out of the car.

“I’ll pick you up at midnight,” She reminded us. And as she drove away I wished I’d just stayed in the car and gone home with her and gone to bed.

Michelle quickly disappeared but Scott stayed close by.

I don’t know why he’s friends with me. He’s charming and clever and funny (and good looking) and I’m weird and awkward.

I took a deep breath, and we went inside.

“I don’t know why you’re even friends with me,” I said.

And he laughed, “For literally every reason in the world, Al” he said, “You are the best and most interesting person that I know,” He says that to me quite often and he says it like it’s true even though most people think I’m weird and boring.

“Alan Sebastian,” I said. Because Al is not my name.

Michelle teases me and says I don’t know how to talk to girls. And it’s true. I don’t. But it’s not because they’re girls. It’s because I don’t know how to talk to anyone. Scott knows how to talk to girls. He knows how to make them laugh and stroke his arm and you might think I want Scott to look at me the way he looks at them and talk to me the way he talks to them but I don’t. That’s not the problem that I have.

I want Scott Maher to look at me the way he already does. And listen to me the way he already does. And smile at me the way he already does. And then I want him to kiss me the way he absolutely definitely does not. And that’s the problem.

And I want to be near him even when he’s in a place I don’t want to be. So that’s why I’m at a party.

The music keeps getting louder and there seem to be a lot more people now. Scott pulls me outside which I’m grateful for. It must have rained at some point because the ground is wet. But the party is raging on inside and people are drinking and laughing and music is playing and I don’t understand what’s fun about it but it seems like it is for most people. I look at the way the lights are reflected in the puddles on the ground and try to calm myself down.

Scott has a drink and I don’t. I had one at one point but I didn’t like the taste of it and I put it down somewhere.

“I don’t understand what is supposed to be fun about this,” I say.

But he just smiles at me and says “I’m still glad you came.”

He talks then, the way he does. About a thousand things at once.

And I try not to think about kissing him right up until he kisses me.

I can’t process it and I don’t know how to react or respond. The part of my brain which has been screaming “Don’t think about kissing him,” for six months is frozen in shock and I’m frozen in shock and when he finally pulls away I can still feel my mouth where his lips were on my lips and it still doesn’t feel like something that could have really happened.

And I’m still trying to understand what has happened when he stammers and apologises and laughs like it’s a joke and says he’s drunk a lot but he hasn’t, because he was with me. I close my eyes for a moment to try and work out what is going on and when I open them again he’s gone.

And I just stand there in the cold trying to remember how to breathe.

I stand there for a while.

And I think… I wish I’d kissed him back. And I think maybe if I find him maybe I can tell him that. Maybe if I explain that he surprised me the first time he might like to try again.

Eventually I walk back up to the big house. I’m tired and it’s loud and I can’t see Scott. I wonder where the bathroom is.

“Upstairs,” Someone tells me. But they might have been talking to someone else. I don’t remember whether it was the first or second door so I open one and it’s not the bathroom. It’s a bedroom. And it’s Michelle and Scott in bed together and I see what they’re doing and I don’t want to and I turn and walk away.

Hello you mrs. honey nut cheerio lefty eyebag! 😌

I sent it last night haha my friends left around 1230 then I was up a bit longer just cleaning up. I think I finally went to sleep around 2 am. So right now I am tired, have a headache, hungry and cold lol

How are you today? Any fun plans for today or the week?

That sounds like a fun and crazy place to go to lol was it hard for the jello to come out of the syringe?

It reminds me of how I like to host parties. I always do like a theme and do creative stuff with the food and drinks. Like a couple years ago, for Halloween, I bought a bunch of skull shot glasses and did like an cherry schnapp drink. Then I made pigs in a blanket, but made it look like a mummy 😂

No, I haven't tried Korean cold noodles. Is that the one where you dip it in the broth? Yeah, the ramen place and sushi place I usually go to is at the food court in the mall. So they have just limited kinds of stuff. You know, I want to try hot pot and do Korean BBQ. But there is no place here in Omaha for that.

So when it's summer, do you just stay inside if it's really hot out? Or do you still do fun stuff like go to the lake or beach?

Ah I get what you mean then. That's not weird though haha I agree with you 😁 but then that's the hopeless romantic in me speaking 😅

Do you have any summer vacation plans?

-CuriousGeorge

Ah i see.. that was too bad. When u were up late, i fell asleep earlier 😅 if i stayed up i couldve accompany u through here while u were cleaning.😁

How r u feeling? R u feeling better?

What did u end up eating?

Im okay. Just tired n sleepy i dont know why. I dont have plans. I hv endless laundry to do 😅

Been trying to rearrange a bit of the living room n em's room so the big toys she got would fit without cluttering the house 😅 i actually feel claustrophobic right now with stuff all over the house, suitcases, laundry to fold. So im trying to make myself feel better.

This weekend, my husband's cousin might come visit, if not, maybe next weekend.

It was a fun place to go eat. The burger was pretty good. What's crazy is u can order up to 8 patties in the burger.. n if u weight over 250 or 300lb i think, u will eat free. Crazy.. what's irony is that restaurant is owned by a heart doctor.. the place is called heart attack grill or heart attack burger. (I forgot)

N yes the jello shot comes out of the syringe easily. 😁 n it tastes pretty strong.

Wow u sound creative decorating ur party. Would love to go to the party u have.😁

Yes some place serve cold noodle separated from the cold broth, some serve it in a cold broth but both get horseradish sauce in it or wasabi paste on the side that u can mix it in.

Ouuuuh hot pot and korean bbq is my favorite! I love them. Soupy ffood n grilled food r my favorite. Im not really a fan of fried food. I hope u can try them someday.

I mostly stay inside the house n let the ac on non stop.hahaha. i wont go out if i dont really have to. I dont like the heat nor getting tanned.🤣 i love the beach but not when it's really hot. 😅 i love how calm it is but when it's too hot, there r too many people n thats whn it makes me uncomfortable.

Ouh so u admit that u r hopeless romantic.. thats nice. I love romantic people, even though i dont think i am that romantic. But then again, like i told u, people who read my fluff thinks that im hopeless romantic 😁

We dont know yet. We plan either go on a cruise or florida or to Cali again for his birthday n his mom birthday so Em can spend time with her. N go to disneyland with his mom too.

I kinda told him the best decission would be go to cali so em can make core memories with her grandma. U?

Next question(s)

Cheerio!

Old trick

Masterlist

“Aren’t you a little old for trick or treating?”

Marinette had been excited about decorating for halloween and welcoming children in costume. Her boyfriend knew this well ahead of time and he was planning on hanging out with her that night. They would watch halloween movies, pausing to give out candy to all who came. Then after, they were going to a party thrown by one of his friends. That had been the plan except that 2 weeks ago he had ghosted her.

Only his costume was not supposed to be a ghost. She had actually made it for him and it was far better than all of the ones he could have bought. They were supposed to go as Westley and Buttercup. Had she known what would happen, she would have had an easier time. She could have just gotten a white sheet and cut eye holes, actually with how she was feeling towards him, she could have skipped the eye holes.

“I’m sorry, Marinette.”

“Interesting costume choice. You don’t look sorry.”

She moved to close the door but he rushed forward to block it.

“I made a mistake. It wasn’t on purpose.”

“How do you accidentally forget to tell someone you are going to be unable to remember their existence for 2 weeks?”

Given the chance to explain, Tim remained silent.

“That’s what I thought.”

She hoped he would leave when the next round of trick or treaters came up but he just watched as the group of children ran to her. She smiled as they ran up and held out their bags. He watched them walk away while she turned to him to see if he would say any more than he had in the last 2 weeks.

She had been so worried about him that she thought something had happened to him. She never visited his work uninvited just as she would not want him visiting her. It was unprofessional to have someone awkwardly hang around. But she kept it brief when she went in. She brought a box of macaroons that she originally planned to bring to the halloween party they were going to after the trick or treaters left. But it was with his friends. Everything was always his friends. She struggled to remember if she had any that were just hers.

He was laughing with a group of them when she walked up. They all went silent as if they were expecting a big display. She wasn’t there to cause a scene. She didn’t hope he had been injured too badly to be able to respond to her messages but him looking happy and well while laughing with a group of his friends while he was supposed to be working was not a welcome sight either.

“I made these for you. I thought you could take them to the party tonight.”

He took them automatically when she handed them. She was able to turn and walk away. She didn’t turn back to see his reaction, at this point, she wouldn’t know which was worse, if he looked guilty or they all laughed. She just wanted to get out of the building without breaking down. The elevator was right there when she got to it. She held her breath all the way down, biting her lip to keep the tears from forming.

He kept calling after but she just turned her phone off and focused on how much she was looking forward to tonight. Her Buttercup costume probably didn’t make much sense without his Westley but it still looked nice. She didn’t have any other plans beyond the party but she couldn’t see herself going anywhere now. The trick or treaters would only be interested in the candy and talking about their own costumes.

Now she watched him as he tried to come up with a reasoning for why he disappeared but he didn’t think of anything worth telling her. She could tell he was clearly trying to think of something but he didn’t seem to think of something she would find acceptable. She turned to go back inside. She considered turning off her light but her bowl of treats was still far too full and she would probably sit and eat too many with as miserable as she was feeling. A small thought at the back of her brain reminded her that she didn’t want to turn it off while Tim was still out there. It would be better if he thought she was unaffected.

The evening went on and the visitors were stretching out as it got later. She didn’t have very many left to give out. She moved to turn off her light and she could see one more costumed character approaching. It would be their lucky night. She would just give the rest away to them and she could go to sleep.

She opened the door as he approached, ready to offer what she had when she paused. There was something about him that she hadn’t placed yet.

“I just need to explain,” he said.

Marinette was the one left speechless. She had met Red Robin recently. He had been involved in helping out a few people who were trying to escape a hostage situation. Marinette had been on the street and moved to help a child at the same time as him. His voice had been altered. But now she could hear Tim. She opened the door, silently allowing him to enter.

“You’re Red Robin,” she stated.

“I wasn't supposed to tell anyone.”

“I understand the secrecy behind it, but how far does that go? Red Robin was injured. It was in the news but I didn’t hear from Tim for 2 weeks.”

“The rule is to not tell people we are casually dating. We have to wait until it is serious or we are sure about them.”

“I see. So you aren’t serious about me or you don’t trust me.”

He walked up to her and took her hand.

“I am very serious about you and it was never about trust. I am ashamed to admit it but I didn’t realize how serious I was about you until I nearly lost you.”

She turned away so he couldn’t see how much that hurt. She knew she was serious about him from the moment they met. He had seemed to share that so she never considered that he may not have felt the same until he said it.

“That's a very hopeful use of nearly," she whispered.

He reached out for her and turned her back to him, cupping her cheek.

"I will keep hoping until you tell me it's too late," he pushed her hair back from her face. "I hesitated before. I won't do that again. I'm all in for as long as you'll have me."

Marinette couldn't fight her feelings any more. She pulled him to her and kissed him. He returned the kiss and pulled her close. But after a moment she pulled back.

"If we hurry we could still make it to the party," she said, excited to show off their costumes.

can u do 2,3,21 for the nsfw question list <3

Hi! Thanks for responding to this call out! Just a reminder, these questions and responses are STRICTLY 18+, do not ask or comment or even look if you are a minor.  Anyway, I just got Eddie's reply so I'll pass it over to him:

Hi @yaspillz, Me too. I fuckin’ love ‘luudes, man. How about you? 

OK, you want to know… Oh, shit, everyone wants to know, huh? 

2: Rough sex or soft sex?

I already answered this one, sorry, honey. Check it out here. 

3: Do you have any unusual kinks/fetishes?

Is this - this is because of the handcuffs, right? It's not a kink thing, like it might be for Lemmy, who inspired my handcuff belt, but the ones in my room were just from a Halloween costume a few years back, me and Jeff went as escaped convicts to this party and spiked the punch with a bunch of acid. I don't know why I did it, it was fucking terrible to do. We'd just watched Revenge of the Nerds 19 times in a row and it went to our heads.

So, I don’t know about “unusual”. Anyway, isn’t that the definition of a kink or a fetish? Something that’s outside the norm? Something that’s not vanilla? Isn’t an “unusual” kink something that’s even weirder than like, being into licking armpits, or someone spanking your balls? It’s like someone who can’t get off unless they’ve watched you take a shit in a cup or something? 

No thanks. Like, all good if it’s your bag, but me personally? No. No, thank you.

Having said that, a girlfriend of Rick’s once peed on me, but that’s a ‘drunken shenanigans’ story, not really a ‘sexy times’ story.

I get the feeling real fetishes are more intense than anything I’ve ever gotten up to. I had a friend - like a real friend, not just me pretending it wasn’t me - who used to get paid to come round to a guy’s place, strip him naked and lock his head in a padded box. She’d just sit there for an hour reading magazines while he rolled around on the floor moaning. $300 a pop! How sweet is that gig?

Like, not a lot of people know this, but there's kind of big wife swapping scene in Hawkins. They have key parties. I sell to them sometimes, so I know. Not naming any names, but Karen Wheeler is an animal.

So, yeah, to return to your question, I can't tell you about my kinks, but I can tell you want a fucking love.

I love it when my girl is sitting in my lap totally nude, but I’ve still got all my clothes on. I don’t know why, maybe it’s some fucked up macho power thing? I don’t know, but it makes me feel like Conan the fucking Barbarian. 

And the other thing I fucking love, is when she’s down to her panties, and you can see how wet she is for you, because her crotch is all dark from her juices. Yeah, that’s, that’s a thing I need to see regularly. I’ve been known to just eat that pussy, panties and all when I see that. 

21: Have you ever had a threesome? If not, would you?

Oh shiiiiit, I kind of answered this one too, here.

Well, I mean, I definitely would. And I’m not saying I think about it often, but like… I think about it often. Daily. OK, twice - three or four - You know what, I think about it. 

I have definitely had sex in the same room as other people who were also having sex, but we were not, you know, all doing to together. Parties at Rick’s place by the lake get kind of wild some nights. Not gonna lie. 

I can imagine, like, my imaginary girlfriend and her friend and me, maybe? Or like… Gareth and me and a girl who’s game to take us on? I’m not sure Gareth would be super jazzed to see my junk though. I don’t know if he’d be able to relax. 

My only concern would be that everyone was totally 100% into it, that everyone was getting what they needed and that no one was feeling, you know, left out, or jealous, or hurt afterwards. Feelings man, they will fuck a good time up faster than Hopper with his sirens on.

___

For sure, Hopper is a major buzzkill! Thanks again, Eds.

Check out the list of questions if you want to ask Eddie anything. And don't forget to check out my AO3 and my masterlists.

Also, I hate to ask, but would you consider reblogging? It really does help!

(CAVEAT: Y'all know this isn't really Eddie, right? Because he is a fictional character. This is a writing exercise. I have no connection or relationship to the Duffers or Stranger things. I'm just fooling around)

College/Uni AUs

The First Year by parmahamlarrie (46k)

When Louis Tomlinson was assigned a first year student to be his roommate for his final year at the University of Manchester, his expectations were low. All he needed was a cheap place to sleep and keep his stuff amidst his nights out, willing his brain to forget his past. He never expected Harry Styles to become his eclectic, sweet, and cuddly best friend. That was never the plan.

voicemail sings a wreck by falsegoodnight (37k)

Louis is the president of the biggest omega sorority on campus, Harry is the president of the biggest alpha fraternity on campus, and they do not get along.

All Your Mates Are Here by LadyLondonderry (36k)

 "The pack is... It's folding, Harry." Like every werewolf does when they get to a new town, Harry joined one of the many local packs when he started university. Now, three years into his program, he's hit with the news that his pack is giving up, going their separate ways. In the wake of the holidays, the three single wolves from the Majestic pack are pointed in the direction of a new pack to join; one that's got struggles of its own. A new pack, a new house, and two new roommates with personal space issues... Plus exams, of course. Happy Christmas, here's to many more.

Look What You've Done To Me by Kikiberoski16 (33k)

Higher, Further, Faster by hazzahtomlinson (31k)

Or the one where Harry decides to go to college regardless of what his team warns him about and has to face the consequences, some of which aren’t so terrible after all. There's anger, confusion, laughter and love. Mix in a bit of FIFA and a boy who plays soccer at the college Harry goes to and it just might be the happily ever after he didn’t know he wanted.

both feet off the ground by Stylespaynesme (16k)

Harry hates his best friend Zayn's new friend Louis, but when an unexpected injury lands Zayn in the hospital, Harry finds himself forced to spend a lot more time with his competition.

When Louis and Harry run into each other at a Halloween party two months after their breakup, they’re reminded of how rude, infuriating, and utterly perfect for each other they are.

When You Wish by FallingLikeThis (9k)

Harry Styles is a regular uni student who's perfectly content with his unremarkable existence. That is, until he buys an old oil lamp that just happens to have a wish-granting genie inside. Now, he's realising that he's not quite as happy as he once thought he was. It's too bad that the one thing he wants is the one thing a wish can't give him.

Can't Buy My Love, Can Buy Me Dinner by LadyAJ_13 (9k)

"Why WAS There a Street Sign on the Floor?" by parmahamlarrie (5k)

Louis Tomlinson's been pining after his high school sweetheart Harry Styles ever since their painful split before the two went their separate ways for college.

AU. Louis is a Reaper and Harry is an Immortal. They meet at a college party.

Eco-Friendly by amomentoflove (3k)

TRICK OR TREAT!!

I don't do anything for Halloween, but my friend had a pokemon trainer cosplay bday party this year and I went as a Lady trainer class! the one with the white dress and hat. this friend really likes costume parties...she's hosted a Disney themed one before and I went as Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid. then for another one of her small costume parties (I forget the occasion — all the days blur together), I had just cut my hair, so I went as Sailor Saturn! but akjdjsksk ignore me 😭 I'm just spilling in your inbox

I love all of svt, but I've been particularly soft with Vernon, DK, Wonwoo, and Junhui these days!!

Aeris happy halloween! SAILOR SATURN BELOVED amg reminds me of my very last halloween party (in 5th grade bc no one did halloween parties at every neighborhood I lived in so like, I never got to experience the halloween parties they show in tv) I went as Sailor Moon bc she’s my fave. I hope I can cosplay her again, complete with the wig and 2 costumes since her princess serenity and super sailor moon fits are my two absolute favorite outfits but also dreaming of cosplaying chibiusa one of these days too. also amg— a fellow sailor scout 🥺 am holding you.

Also your friend’s costume parties sound so fun! The pokemon npcs have very interesting designs sometimes, I always remember lady trainer with the young girl ones tho (like Lass npc) I’d often avoid them like the plague bc i just want to catch pokemon.

Thank you for ringing the doorbell! You receive… a small blurb!

Seventeen as different types of Pokemon trainers; a headcanon blurb!

Personally, I can see Vernon working at a pkmn daycare with Seungkwan and the newly recruited intern, Chan. You’ll find him working outside or at the back tending to the newly hatched and toddler pokemon. He prefers the peace and quiet, and the laidback-ness of it all allows him to stay in tune in his own little world. Occasionally, he’ll be behind the counter while Seungkwan is away or is busy running 5 different errands all at once.

You’ll always find him with his bulbasaur, one of the hatchlings that imprinted on him. Fortunately, this was from the brood of a wild bulbasaur they were rehabilitating and not an egg from trainers who drop their pokemon off for boarding.

Seokmin was born for the stage. The glitz and glamour; the creativity and theatrics— it’s what gravitated him to becoming a contest coordinator. When he was younger, he dreamt of being a stage actor but after he watched a contest performance with his parents while on vacation, he took a huge interest and his parents, ever supporting, took his newfound interest into consideration when they moved to Sinnoh. He adopts the stage name, Dokyeom, and slowly rises in the ranks amongst his contemporaries.

He’s well known for fusing his love for theatre with showmanship and it shows in how graceful and entertaining his performances are. His pokemon are all trained to perform at their prime and you can swear you see sparkles the moment they start their routine; and you can swear you witnessed the audience melt when he opens his mouth and sings; his twin clefairies dancing along. (Who can blame them though, that man sings like rent is due an angel)

The quality of his performances is backed by rigorous training. Seokmin may be sunshine and rainbows, he’s definitely playful and always down for a good game of hongsam but I’m a believer of lowkey perfectionist Seokmin. He’s consistent in his preparation, especially 2 weeks before the contest date. He believes in delivering only the best because the standing ovation and happy smiles on the audience’s faces are worth it.

Bzzt…bzzt…! G-g-g-game boi! I can see Wonwoo as an heir to either a pokemon gym that specializes in dark/electric types or someone who will run those mystery houses. He can be both? You know what, he can be both. Gym leader by day and mystery house host every mwf. He needs to keep a strict schedule, only bc he’s always booked for rematches. His gym puzzles can be quite difficult and there’s no convincing him otherwise to lower the difficulty setting. Something about playing on classic mode in a fantasy rpg game. According to him, ‘it’s either you die or you pick a god and pray.’)

His gym is pretty interesting. The key to beating it is actually getting to know how his mystery-mystery shack works. They use the same mechanics but with a bit of tweaks here and there. It’s more like an escape room at most, and he thought of ways that you would need to use either a dark-type or electric-type to be able to advance through the maze and reach him.

You’ll find him hanging out with Mingyu outside of gym leader and mystery master duties. What they do? That, I don’t even know. I just know they hang out together— maybe, buying groceries or playing co-op games together, or probably fishing together.

If you ever get lost while visiting the safari, Ranger Junhui will come save the day! He’s honestly one of the sweetest rangers on the team, and probably a park favorite. Especially by the campers, bc you know… he saves their butts most of the time. He always keeps an extra bar of chocolate on him… and maybe a small bag of snacks.

Jun takes up the night shift 5 out of 7 days a week, together with Soonyoung and Minghao. He probably sleeps on the job. It’s not his fault the meadow by the lake looks so inviting, especially when it’s 10 am or mid-day and the sun is shining just right and the breeze swings by. The sweet scent of the rosalia’s blooms serenading him to close his eyes for 5 minutes… yeah, 5 minutes sounds like a good time… he’ll just close his eyes for 5 minutes…

By the time he wakes up, it’s been 30 minutes and Joshua is standing above him. His bike broke down in the middle of passing by the lake and found Jun laying by the field. He thought he was attacked and his dragonair was ready to whisk the both of them back to the ranger’s station had Jun not open his eyes in 5 seconds.

I’ve never seen a green refrigerator before, by the way. Very inventive.” Harry gapes at him while he pours tequila in his cup. “I’m not a refrigerator, I’m—” “—Peter Pan. Yeah, I heard.” The fairy waves his free hand and sips the tequila straight. Better yet, he doesn’t make a disgusted face, no full body shivers that Harry experiences when he drinks neat tequila. If Harry wasn’t devising a plan to marry this man when he saw him (he was), he definitely is now. “I’m in love with you,” Harry says shamelessly.

Thoughts and Reaction to Guiltrip!

Alright, so this one is a bit more of a serious one for me. But I'll be going in order of the episode so the more serious talk will be a bit further down! First thing we get is this lovely moment:

I've already addressed it in a post, but I'll say it again here. Guiltrip is episode 11, several episodes take place before Guiltrip that we haven't seen yet, so this is awhile after Marinette and Luka broke up. We also know that Marinette has always had feelings for Adrien, even when she was with Luka. Luka always knew that fact too. None of this is new and is to be expected, obviously, when Love Square is endgame. But! I also want to point out here that this is just a soft look. Very gentle, very common. I see people looking at each other both in real life and in other shows all the time. A look that says "I adore you". And I think it's sweet! Very subtle, but enough. Something's wrong with Rose. We never get told (in this episode anyway) what it is, but it's a chronic illness that's a worry in Rose's life, ever since she was young. I feel really bad for Juleka, knowing that her friend's been struggling with an illness, and whenever something happens she has to worry about it alone. Also that really sucks when you try to cheer somebody up and make a joke, that because you were mislead about a situation you end up making things worse. Poor Marinette. :c Adrien when he realizes he's bumped into someone (and the pink bubbles to remind us of Marinette's feelings for him):

Adrien when he realizes just who it was he bumped into!:

Scroll up now and look at how Marinette was looking at Adrien earlier that day. It's the exact same look. Yet, something feels different from usual to me, idk. But continuing on. Marinette gets slightly jumbled with her words, but manages to give herself a kick and says nope not now! Good for her! You can't expect to change overnight, but she's working on it.

She looks to the side, gathering her surroundings for a split second and she misses the top step. I'd like to say that this is just a joke for the show but well, this kind of thing has happened to me a lot because I'm that much of a klutz so I feel for her here. (On Halloween I forgot that there was another step as I was walking down as I wasn't paying attention. I couldn't walk on my foot for 2 weeks. It's a serious problem, guys. Really. xDD) Marinette had told Adrien she's concerned it was something she said that upset Juleka and Adrien tells her while sometimes she doesn't make sense, what she says is never mean. This scene reminds me of when Ladybug's worried about something and Chat Noir's there to keep her grounded and remind her of how things really are. I very much appreciate seeing such a scene with Adrienette! Makes the Love Square much more rounded. Also the way he stops her and says let him go talk to her to try to help the situation and any possible misunderstandings from taking place. ;-;

Can I just say... oh my gosh. He went from determined, to hearing Marinette trying to comfort her, to looking with confidence "This girl is amazing." and the whole Ladynoir vibe I'm getting from this scene makes me happy. The thing that's unrealistic about this scene though is you expect to tell me that 8 kids went down those stairs and came up behind them and Marinette, Adrien, and Juleka didn't hear? XD Now here's where the serious comes in. Rose is hospitalized with an illness we don't know about, but has been a long-term thing that has Juleka really worried a lot. That must be so stressful :c I'm going to be honest and say I never really saw Julerose romantically. Like I can see how people do, but to me, I could see that their bond was really unique. It didn't really fit completely in the "BFF" category either. But if felt like there was more to them that I didn't really understand. I think the best example off the top of my head was during Zombizou, when Rose was going to help Chloe after she slid down Chat's stick and she went too fast for him to catch her. Juleka seemed especially worried and concerned for her. Rose never seemed to get concerned about Juleka in the same way Juleka was about Rose. Juleka's always been more protective and worried and it was always one of those things that made me go "hmm, interesting". Now this episode finally explains why and I'm honestly super glad for it. Because this kind of a relationship is not a common one in media, especially kids media. Partially because having such serious illnesses in young people is not particularly common, and having someone who's so caring and protective of that person is even less common. And most people probably don't realize how amazing it is to have health problems and then have someone in their life who acts like Juleka does for Rose. I had a life-threatening illness as a kid, one that still affects me greatly today. When in school, my friends knew about it without me having to say anything unfortunately, and while they didn't usually treat me differently, sometimes they were pretty ignorant and didn't understand why I wasn't "normal" like them. They asked questions that were harder ones to answer, and tended to forget my answers. I got a lot of "I know you have X problem but I still don't see why you can't..." as well as thinking I was lying if I said I wasn't well and couldn't go to a party, and that was hard to deal with, being limited in what you can do which makes you different and being judged for things out of your control. So seeing these kids who only know something's wrong with her, but are willing to do so much to make her life better and happier, not judging her at all, wanting to take care of her no questions asked was really heart-warming for me. I only had one friend during that time that was anything close to this. I never had to explain anything to him if I didn't want to. He never asked me personal questions I didn't want to answer. And he seemed to know what he could do to make things for me easier if I was having a hard time without me ever saying so. And this is another reminder to me that this show is aimed at kids. To show kids that they'll likely encounter someone around their age that's going through something serious like a health problem, and what that kid needs most is kindness and not to be made to feel like they're even more different from the other kids than they already feel. The way they handled that aspect of it for such a short, limited intro to it, I think they did good. I discussed this next bit with a friend. She mentioned it first, the trope where those with chronic or serious illnesses are usually an "inspiration". With this episode, you kind of get the feeling that because Rose's been through so much, she's therefore a really positive and bubbly person and it kind of gives off the vibe that if you don't view things the way she does, then you're not doing it right. "What matters isn't the problem, but how you handle it." While I agree with this, and that when you come out of or regularly deal with

such hard times, automatically trying to see the world better and brighter can easily happen, but it's not exactly realistic either, at least not to the extent Rose and other people the media has portrayed. For one, I think you have to have always been more of that kind of person from the start to realistically be so positive. As my friend said and I agree, positivity is just who Rose is, she's not who she is just for the sake of a trope. But honestly, when you've gone through something so difficult, and if life continues to throw you more difficulties on top of it, being positive so much can sometimes turn into a negative and be harmful too. When you've been through a lot, it's important to allow yourself to feel the negative too because it's part of dealing with such problems. And if you've been through a lot in life and you haven't come out of it being all sunshine and rainbows, always looking on the brighter side of things, that's perfectly okay. Life's hard and tends not to work out how we'd like, or even for the better sometimes. If being positive and hopeful after struggling is hard to do, you're not bad or wrong for feeling that way, everybody handles things differently. c: ANYWAY, moving on to the rest of the episode! Juleka being all irritated and worried that the class was going to expose her spilling Rose's secret xD While the situation isn't ideal, it's nice that this is the most involved she's seemed with everyone in the entire duration of the show. But Rose knows something's up, and I love that she talks to her about it and realizes that she should've told everyone herself instead of Juleka being the only one who knew. Which has been such a burden on her. (Oh no, what if this is a reflection of Alya knowing Marinette's Ladybug later on? I'm hoping not.) Ugh these children and how much they care about Rose! These kids are the absolute best. But then they kind of ruin it a little with going overboard. Which, frankly, I think is just ignorance of her situation really. I mean, we don't know what exactly is wrong with Rose. Just that she ends up in the hospital. If they knew about her condition, what causes her to get sick, what to look out for, etc, they'd be much more informed and much less likely to be frantic whenever something's not perfectly "normal" with her. All of these kids are going to be overprotective parents someday, aren't they?

Okay so like... are Adrien and Marinette going to question at all how Ladybug and Chat Noir showed up immediately after Juleka was akumatized, and no damage had happened outside of the school for it to be known to the public? Literally the only ones that could've possibly known were the class to have shown up that fast. ??? I am confusion. "I can't help my best friend face his father." "No, Nino..." Two things: The fact that THIS is what he's feeling guilty about? My poor Nino! Dx I just love him, he really doesn't get enough love and appreciation imo. Also, um, isn't Ladybug like right by Chat? Didn't she hear that? What? Idk but I feel like we're really missing something here. Usually we get things that are kind of hints, that make us wonder if they know right, but this? This is a bit too blaring-in-your-face, and there's two major things so close together. Really strange. Chat about to use Cataclysm on himself. Good grief that was not expected. Chat Blanc threatened to destroy himself along with everything else. Now Chat Noir while affected with negative emotions from an akuma almost Cataclysmed himself. This show really is getting deep and dark isn't it. o.o Also is there something Adrien needs to work out with someone...? Daizzi and Rose saying the other's so cute, ugh they're both so cute! And Pigella's costume and transformation is so adorable omg. Okay so Pigella's power allows people to see their biggest wish, the thing that'd make them the most happy and feel positive emotions. I know some people probably think "That's it?" Considering that Shadow Moth preys on people's negative emotions, such a power is actually extremely useful facing Shadow Moth. (And let's not forget, that while that's her power, she has the ability to fight and make a difference just from being transformed too) BUT AWWW Juleka's wish! And her face when Pigella said it aloud. ;-; Am I the only one wondering if Pigella may someday use her power on Shadow Moth and that's how they learn his motive? I'm so impressed with how Rose knew how to handle everything. She knew she can't slip up with Juleka. She knew to sneak away to detransform and come back as Rose. She knew to subtly give the Miraculous back so nobody would ever know she had it. Even Chat Noir had no idea! I don't know why, I'm just so very proud of that. "She doesn't need a Miraculous to be a superhero." She really has the characteristics of one, and I can't wait to see more of Pigella. Also I'm really wondering. This scene here:

All the kids that are part of that friend group are there...except Marinette and Adrien, of course. Alya knows why Marinette isn't there. But is she wondering about why Adrien isn't there too? LOL Marinette being like "I'm taking your pillow back, sorry! Gotta wait for it like everyone else." and the boys being like LE GASP. Marinette's right, she's not fragile! The fact Rose jokes with her and makes everyone laugh, and Chloe saying "Hey, why doesn't everyone laugh when I say something like that?!" Adrien: Because in your case, it's never a joke. Chloe: Hm, that's true. Which is super funny, especially how he just so casually says it. But also it really shows again how Chloe wants to be liked. She wishes the kids would laugh when she makes comments, but it's because they're said in a serious/obnoxious way, instead of making light of something like in Rose's case here, that they don't. I know she talked about it with Ladybug in an episode, but it again shows that that's what she'd like. All that needs to happen is someone helping her get there. Maybe Zoe and Luka will somehow help with that later on. Anyway, this was a really great episode! I feel like some things might not make quite as much sense as they should if we got it in order, but what can you do when Gloob has to air them? Even a friend of mine who's been doing what she can to avoid spoilers, still got spoiled. She's having to delete tumblr to avoid future spoilers because people can't help themselves and tag things properly. So thanks Gloob. :P All we wanted was the episodes in order. We've waited this long for S4, we can wait a bit longer. But they gotta make money I guess. I'm glad other countries are trying their best to keep it in order anyway. c: Guiltrip also has some really great Adrienette moments, and covered a more serious topic which was really interesting and shows how much the show's changing. Especially with some of the choice of camera angles and movements! Like the zoom-in on the door with Adrien and Marinette, the boys LE GASP scene. Very cool artistic choices! Looking forward to the episodes that come before this one to try to help fill in some of the gaps! And apologies to those that frequently read these posts from me, I started writing it up late and couldn't finish so you get it the day after instead. xD

A few weeks have passed, and their garden grew with more flowers, a two-person double hanging egg swing chair, and three new koi friends in the pond that she rightfully named Felix, Oscar and Patricia.

“Patricia?” Ashton asked scrunching his nose when the fish were delivered.

“Yes, Patricia, it’s the perfect name for her,” she responded with an indignant pout. “Did you know koi fish represent good luck, abundance and perseverance?”

“I didn’t,” he shook his head and watched her happily as she twiddled her fingers in the water. The fish swam up to her fingers out of curiosity, one of them (Ashton can’t remember the name) kissed her finger and she giggled. “Which one was that?”

“Felix. He’s going to be the fun one, I can tell.”

Every day since they received the fish, she’s been out in the garden for hours watching them and recording videos of them swimming. While he was working on some more music or video chatting with the guys she’d send him a snapchat with one of the fish peering up at him.

Patricia misses you, come say hi.

“Sorry guys, I gotta head outside. Patricia misses me,” Ashton tells the guys with a dramatic sigh.

“Who’s Patricia?” Luke asks stopping his guitar playing.

“One of his fish,” Michael chortles cuddling his face into Moose’s neck.

“Is Patricia really a fish?” Calum clarifies.

“Yes, Patricia is a fish. As is Felix and Oscar that Y/N so rightfully named them.”

“Oh, well good. I was gonna come over there and kick your ass if you were two timing Y/N,” Calum defends in her honor. The other three join in on laughter. As if Ashton would ever think of cheating on her, the notion of it was ridiculous.

“I would never,” Ashton shakes his head solemnly.

“Well, I guess your lady and fish need you,” Luke says picking back up on the song he was playing.

“They’re more her fish than mine.”

“Nah, they’re both of yours. Don’t kill them like your damn lemon tree,” Calum reminds him with a shake of his head.

“Fuckin’ lemon tree,” Ashton mutters then gets another message from her that’s just a string of fish emojis. “All right, I’ll talk to you later.”

He exits the video call then heads outside to the flower oasis where he spots her sitting on the swing leaning over her legs so she can peer at the pond. Ashton added another small pond with sand around the edges and it had lily pads floating on the water’s surface. He joins her on the swing, his hand finding homage to the center of her back while hers rests on his leg.

“See! She missed you, look,” she points to Patricia (the golden yellow one) is swimming away from the edge of the pond.

“She’s swimming away!” Ashton laughs rubbing her back affectionately.

“She poked her head to the surface when you came, you just didn’t see. Right Patty? How was the call?” she leans back in the chair folding her legs beneath her. Ashton pushes his feet on the stones so the swing moves.

“Good, good. We were actually talking about getting together for Halloween at Michael’s. Just something small.”

“That’ll be fun,” she sighs resting her head on his shoulder then lets out a big yawn.

“You’re still pretty tired, huh?” he asks in mild concern. Since putting the flower oasis together, she’s been more sleepy than normal, and he’s worried she might be getting sick. Did he overwork her? Was she still in that murky space of being neither here nor there?

“Yeah, but I’m not getting sick, I promise. I usually get a sore throat if that happens. I should be getting my period soon so that could be why.”

“Still, let’s get you some vitamins and orange juice,” he kisses the top of her head.

“Yes, doctor.”

**

She wakes up to a mug of steaming coffee next to her side of the bed and Ashton playing guitar outside carries into their room through the cracked window. It’s a clear, sunny day and while she stretches her chest and lower belly ache at the pull. Thinking nothing of it, she grabs her cup and heads outside to join Ashton on the swing.

“Morning my pretties,” she says to the koi fish who splash excitedly at the surface. She turns to Ashton and smiles, “Morning my other pretty.”

“Good morning sleepy girl,” he smiles shifting a little to the left so she can fit in the space next to him. “How are we feeling today?”

“Well rested.”

“Yeah?” he raises his eyebrows as he plucks at the chords.

“Mhm,” she hums sipping at her coffee.

“So, you won’t be asleep on the couch in about an hour and a half?”

“Nope.”

After breakfast she was fast asleep on the couch and Ashton couldn’t help but laugh at his prediction being accurate. He feels something nagging at him in the back of his mind that something is going on with her. The Halloween party at Michael’s is this Friday and she’s been so lethargic for almost a month now. She swears she feels fine and says her body clock must be off or this is her body’s way of catching up on sleep she’s missed.

Ashton thinks it’s neither because they haven’t been anywhere apart from the grocery store and a restaurant here and there. Last week they went to the costume store to pick up their matching ringmaster outfits (The Greatest Showman was on repeat for a straight week) and she yawned throughout the whole shopping process. Then, she was snoozing on the drive home.

“It’s creepy to watch someone sleep,” she mumbles but her eyes are still closed.

“If you’re talking to me then you’re not asleep.”

“I felt your eyes and it woke me up,” she frowns then pats the back of the couch cushions. ���Come sleep with me.”

“I already slept last night,” he laughs, “like normal people do. Are you turning into a vampire or something where you sleep during the day?”

“Come here and I’ll bite you,” she smiles peeking at him through one of her eyes.

“Is that a threat or a promise?” he situates himself behind her, his arms and legs pulling her against his body. She drags his hand to her mouth biting into the side of his hand. “Ow! Hey!”

“Told you I’d bite you,” she sighs snuggling into his chest. “Watch the show and I’ll sleep.”

“Are you sure you’re--?”

“I’m fine. No sore throat and no fever. Just sleepy.”

“I heard mono starts out like this…”

“It does and I had it when I was eighteen. I’m still eating so my appetite hasn’t disappeared. Who have you kissed that you think I’d get mono?” her tone turns sharp, but he knows she’s teasing.

“You know what I mean,” he nibbles at her earlobe and she squeals.

“It’s not mono or the flu or the bubonic plague. I’m just sleepy for some reason. Now shush, let me sleep or I’ll get cranky.”

He falls silent but his mind is still whirring trying to figure out what could be wrong with her. It’s not normal to be this tired and sleep all the time, is it? Is there some kind of sleep disorder that was onset somehow? Is she becoming narcoleptic?

Eventually, his 0-100 reeling thoughts make him tired and he joins her in a long nap on the couch. The next time he opens his eyes the sky is a dusty pink; his mouth is stale, and his joints are sore from laying in the same position. He feels something tickling his forearm, so he opens his eyes to see her finger circling over one of his moons.

“Are you awake now?” she asks softly.

“Yup,” he groans as he stretches his limbs and pulls her tighter against him. “You’re too comfy and your sleepiness is catching.”

“Welcome to the dark side,” she kisses inside the crook of his elbow. “I’m hungry, can we order pizza for dinner?”

“Sure angel, anything you want.”

**

She wakes up to two things: one of them being Ashton’s finger tickling designs up and down her thigh and the other being an insatiable desire for him. To be close to him, feel his breath on her skin and his fingers on her body.

She rolls over planting herself on top of him and presses her lips to his in a needy kiss.

“Well, good morning,” he groans when she rubs his morning wood with her hand. His own hands slip under his tank top she’s wearing to grasp at her breasts.

She moans at the contact, sucking on his lower lip and grinds herself on top of him. His thumbs and forefingers pinch her nipples and she lets out a gasp not usually feeling stimulated that way. Normally it’s his suckling and scrape of his teeth that get her aroused, she squeezes his shaft in reaction and Ashton huffs.

He removes his hands from her breasts to hook his fingers beneath her underwear.

“Get this off,” he sighs. She lifts her hips yanking the material down her legs then yelps in pleasure at his finger slipping between her folds. “Did you wake up this wet, pretty one?”

He holds her chin carefully with his fingers, loving the way her mouth opens in a small ‘o’ as he teases her lips but his actions make her retaliate by slipping her own hand below his boxers to circle her thumb over his tip. Ashton’s mouth falls open as well, their bodies curving into one another to feel more of each other’s touch.

“Ash…” she whines trying to tug off his own underwear.

It’s not normal for them to have morning sex, she’s self-conscious about her breath and bed head regardless of how many times Ashton tells her she’s perfect, he feels himself leak at the thought of slipping inside her now. They work together to get his boxers off and she holds herself up with one hand while the other gripped his warm, hard cock and nudged it between her folds.

She pushes herself down on him, his tip prodding against her opening, her slick acting as lubricant. She bites her lip in concentration as she pulls him into her the same time she pushes on.

“I got it, baby,” his hand replaces hers and he rubs his tip up and down her opening, gathering more of her arousal.

A small moan erupts from her as he coaxes himself inside her warm walls. It takes a few tries since they haven’t done foreplay but when he slips all the way in the moan she makes is sinfully delicious. She lowers herself the rest of the way, arching her back as she does and Ashton groans as he molds with her body.

She’s warm and snug around him as she rocks on top of him, her fingers twisting into his hair while his grip her ass and waist. He lifts his head the same moment she lowers hers, their tongues mingling together desperately.

Her hips dip and rotate as she rides him, Ashton’s hands guiding her movements as their kiss deepens. Starting at a steady rhythm to only increase his momentum with each thrust, her moans escaping into his mouth.

“Just like that, baby,” he praises on her lips, their hips smacking together.

“Right there,” she mewls breathlessly, their bodies rocking faster.

It’s intimate and sensual the way they’re making love, he needs her closer with each squeeze and roll of her body and she wants to feel every part of him. Their movements become jerky as they chase their release. He feels her clench around him, and he knows as her moans increase in volume that she’s close, that he’s making her feel good.

Ashton slides his legs up, so she’s angled as he fucks into her quickly, his hips snapping in quick succession against hers. She gasps as she comes on top of him loving how deep he is inside her. He transitions his hands to her face, holding her head so he can kiss her, his thrusts changing from quick snaps to a rolling pump so she can catch her breath.

“Have some more for me?” he mutters, fingers knotting in her hair. She nods and his long pulls shift to quick snaps yet again. Her hips meet his, her moans are louder than before and her pussy pulses around him in bursts.

This position, along with doggy style, makes her have multiple orgasms because he hits the perfect spot each time. She’s met with wave after wave of pleasure that rolls into one another, each one greater than the last. She peeks at him through half-lidded eyes and Ashton’s self-control falters.

Any time she makes eye contact while they have sex takes him to another level entirely. And now, seeing her in the morning sun, her face glowing and flushed has him reeling.

His strong arms hug her tight to his body as he fucks her relentlessly, her mouth sucking on his neck in his sweet spot. He’s giving her all he’s got, his body exerting his never-ending love and desire for her makes the bed rock.

“Mmm…come for me, babe,” she whines.

The sound of command in her voice has him stop mid-thrust as he reaches his climax, the lower half of his body suspended up in the air. She clenches with each release he gives her; his grunts tickle her toes as she’s filled with his warmth.

When he’s finished, he slowly lowers himself back onto the bed and she collapses on top of him so they can catch their breath. Their bodies are sticky, breaths hot on each other’s necks and she stamps kisses to his bare shoulder. His fingers move over the bumps of her spine that are sheened with a light layer of sweat. The tank top is damp and with a huff she rises off him to tug it off.

“Made me too hot,” she grumbles settling back on his chest.

“You are too hot,” he grins, and she rolls her eyes and attempts to lift her hips so he can pull out of her.

“Wait, wait,” he stills her movement by gripping her waist. His hands are hot on her skin and it makes her body shiver in the best way. With a groan he rolls over so he’s on top of her and still inside of her. The cool air on his sweaty back feels wonderful and the sight of her naked and pleasured in front of him is a sight for sore eyes. “Fuck, look at you.”

He cups her cheek and pulls a kiss from her, their bodies warm and electric in a post-sex haze.

“Why’d you flip us over?”

“So when I pulled out we wouldn’t make a mess,” he grins cheekily. Holding himself up he pulls out of her slowly but his release dribbles out onto the sheets anyway. “Ah fuck, that wasn’t supposed to happen.”

She joins his giggles at his attempt of a no-clean-mess, then admires the way his necklaces dangle and his dark curls cling and frame to his face. There are small bite marks on his neck from her mouth and his chest shines from the sweat.

“Remind me why I don’t like morning sex?” she cocks her head to side as her eyes devour him once more. His body is glorious, and she feels like she has to pinch herself in reminder that he’s real every time she looks at him.

He slips off the bed to retrieve a towel from the bathroom, her eyes zero in on his bare ass as he walks away from her. When he returns he wipes at the inside of her thighs then folds the towel in half and places it beneath her hips to catch whatever else leaks out. Ashton lays next to her resting his palm on her stomach.

“Because you’re crazy in thinking I’ll be disgusted by your morning breath,” he rolls his eyes and pokes her nose.

“Oh…so how was it?”

“You really have to ask? That was one of the best sex experiences we’ve had.”

“No! I meant my morning breath!”

“Oh…it was tolerable,” he shrugs then busts out a loud laugh at the expression on her face. “I’m kidding! Your breath doesn’t smell, so please, if you ever want to have morning sex again don’t hesitate.”

For the rest of the week they started their days by having sex as soon as she woke up. She pulled him from his slumber in very intricate ways. She was still pretty sleepy throughout the day, but she was only napping once a day now instead of three times. When Halloween finally arrived and they were dressed for Michael’s Halloween party, Ashton couldn’t keep his eyes off her in her costume.

The ruffles of her skirt stopped at the perfect spot on her thighs and the corset she had on made him groan at the sight. Her lips were painted a desirable red and he reminded himself he had to behave while they were around their friends.

Upon their arrival they were ushered to the Halloween back drop to have their photos taken then she was whisked away from his arms by the girls for another slew of photos. The night is filled with good laughter and fun until Ashton saw Y/N sprint off towards the bathroom.

He follows her quickly and arrives in the bathroom just in time as she kneels over it. He holds her hair as he crouches next to her waiting for her to be finished. She doesn’t drink often but when she does she always has a good handle on what her limit is and stops before she has a chance to get sick.

He tears off a wad of toilet paper and wipes her mouth when she slumps against him, her black heels scraping against the tiled floor.

“One too many shots?” he asks, and she shakes her head.

“I haven’t had any alcohol,” she whispers, her voice hoarse from throwing up. “I don’t think the mini corn dogs agreed with me.” Her face twisted in disgust at the mention of the food, Ashton tilted her head up so he could look at her.

Her eyes aren’t glossy and completely focused on him.

“You haven’t drunk anything?”

“I had some 7up but that’s it, I wasn’t feeling that well on the way here and alcohol didn’t seem like a good idea.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you weren’t feeling well?”

“Because I was excited to see everyone and I thought it would pass,” she clears her throat then winces.

“How do you feel now?” he caresses her forehead, but she doesn’t feel feverish.

“Better now that I threw up,” she chuckles.

“Do you think you’ll be sick again?”

She sits up a little straighter then pushes herself off the floor. Ashton helps her stand, keeping a steady hold on her arms in case she’s wobbly but she’s sturdy enough.

“I don’t think so,” she rubs her stomach then looks up at him. She smooths his concern from his eyebrows smiling softly. “I’m fine now, I promise.”

“Maybe we should go home, let you rest—”

“No, we’ll stay until Luke will inevitably pass out on the kitchen floor. Let me rinse my mouth and I’ll meet you back out there.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to go home?” he stresses his concern for her well-being.

“I’m positive.” She takes his hands in hers.

“And you’ll tell me if you’re not feeling well and we’ll go home?”

“Yes.”

Ashton looks her over one more time, as if there will be a sign of an illness but she looks perfect in her get up aside from the pale in her face from getting sick. He sighs then brings her hands to his lips, kissing them. “Fine. I’ll be downstairs waiting.”

Ashton’s brainstorming all the possibilities of what’s going on with Y/N when he returns to the party. While he’s thinking of illnesses Y/N’s counting days in her head over and over as she gargles the mouthwash. It isn’t until she spits into the sink and stares at her reflection that she knows what’s going on with her.

**

Ashton had some errands to run and started rattling off all that he bought to Y/N while he pulled the items from the bags. He gives her a quick kiss while he continues, completely oblivious to how distracted she is and her constant glance towards the backyard.

“What’d you do today?” he asks when he’s finished his story.

“Uh, I decorated a little in the flower garden. Can I show you?”

“Sure, let’s go,” he smiles then follows her outside.

She steps carefully on the stones and sits on the swinging chair waiting for Ashton to approach. His eyes scan over the space, taking in the multitudes of colorful flowers then he stops on the fishpond. Felix, Oscar and Patricia are swimming lazily in a circle with a small orange rose floating in the center. He doesn’t really notice what she’s decorated then stops short when he’s at the middle of the path.

On top of the rocks where the water bubbles down are four white ceramic vases filled with orange and white baby’s breath and a light green ribbon tied around the neck. Each vase is perched on its own rock and Ashton loves the simplicity of the arrangement she’s done.

“They’re beautiful, angel,” he compliments.

“Did you see what’s on the vases?”

Below the ribbons on each vase is a letter painted in black. Ashton’s eyes scan over each one about five times before he gasps, his eyes widening as he looks at her. The vases spell out ‘baby.’

“You’re pregnant?” he rushes towards her falling in the space next to her on the swing, his hand flying to her stomach.

“I’m pregnant,” she whispers nervously.

He lets out a ‘whoop’ of excitement jumping up from the swing so he can peer at the vases again. Then he lifts her in his arms spinning her around in joy.

“Careful! I’m feeling a little nauseous today,” she laughs, and he sets her down on her feet. He kisses her. “Are you happy?”

“Of course, I’m happy! When did you find out? How far are you? Do we need to go to the doctor?” he fires off, his hazel eyes alight.

“I found out after Halloween and I think I’m three months…since it’s December. I made an appointment for next week already,” she answers all of his questions. “That’s why I’ve been so tired, and sex crazed.”

“So, you aren’t sick, thank God. Instead you’re pregnant!” he kisses her feverishly again, his hand hovers over her stomach and he kneels once more. “There’s a baby in there,” he murmurs pressing a kiss to her lower belly. “Hi baby love, I’m so excited to meet you.”

She pulls him back to his feet so she can kiss him. All her worries and nerves float away in the wind because he wants this just as much as she does.
