#grandma bought a zoo

[a-bleak-gallery]

Worked on this some more. Have been messing around with a really blown out limited palette because I'm not good at interesting colors. Fun to use someone else's palette to try things (shamelessly stealing colors from the incredibly talented @requinoesis - still have no idea how they do it).

my dad was in a car accident last night. he told me he’s okay but is staying with his girlfriend bc he can’t get into his house (told me his car is smashed so I’m assuming keys are not accessible idk, he said he’d call later to tell me more)

we were supposed to hang out today, had this whole lil day planned but he’s understandably too shaken up to go now

[send-up-my-heart-to-you]

heres a change from my usual depressing posts: here are a few of my happy memories :)

when i was nine years old my grandma and my mom picked up me and my siblings from school. i was so happy bc its usually just our nannies who picked us up. we went straight to the mall together and played games, and then when my siblings got tired they went home but i stayed with my grandma and mom. we just walked around the mall shopping for clothes and i was happy bc i had my grandma and mom all to myself

when i was nine years old i moved schools. on a national holiday, i visited my old school to say hi to my old friends. the moment i stepped into the classroom i was swarmed with a flurry of hugs and tears. thats the last time i remember truly feeling like i had friends

when i was thirteen years old i hated how i looked. my mom would buy clothes for me and i’d hate them because they werent my style and werent really flattering. one day we went shopping and i bought myself this turtleneck and pair of jeans. i wore it and looked into the mirror and grinned so hard to myself because it was the first time i realized i was pretty

when i was twelve years old on new years eve (dec 30), i woke up to my cousins yelling at me to get up. i very groggily got up and got dressed. their mother took us to the zoo together and it was so fun. we were all happy. it was one of the last times we were all together and smiling

when i was eleven years old my mom took me to parents evening. my favorite teacher called me a gem and said my english grades are better than that of most native english speakers. i’ll never forget that. (me n her used to talk about percy jackson and shadowhunters together after i first picked them up)

when i was fifteen i was dressed up for a school event. when we walked outside i covered my face with my hijab. the girl next to me looked at me confused and i explained to her that i didnt want the guys to see me wearing makeup for religious reasons. she just nodded understandingly and said matter-of-factly “you dont need makeup to get stared at.” and when i laughed and said no one ever stares at me, she just looked at me very evenly and said “you wanna know something? i catch myself staring at you a lot. makeup or no makeup.”

around that time when i was fifteen, on a random tuesday at school i realized i actually have friends. i’m actually popular. i dont get bullied anymore. i’m not the “weird kid” sitting in the back of the classroom anymore.

when i was sixteen (this was back in april) me and my sister @txna-blxckthorn stopped by a fast food place at a gas station to grab dinner for our family. we were wearing pajamas under our hoodies. we were just talking about deep stuff while rain beat the windows and the smell of hot food wafted thru the air

[motzyworships]

Reaching the end of a family vacation to Arizona, but I wanted to share some admirations I felt, connections I made, and general happenings from throughout my trips. :)

BEARIZONA: We went to this hybrid drive-through/walk-through zoo on the first day and all I could think was the far-shooting twins, Apollo and Artemis. I saw Artemis in the wilderness and its many creatures, and Apollo in the roaming ravens. All I could think of was the idea of them comfortably lingering in each other’s company.

HIKES: Gaia and Artemis, together, make every hike (although short) beautiful. I’ve never been so grateful to have committed to cardio in the months before my trip so that I had the endurance to go on and appreciate such beautiful walks and sights. Demeter and Rhea deserve some love and credit, as well. <3

RAVENS: Before this trip, I had only ever seen crows up close, despite both crows and ravens being my favorite birds. This entire trip has been full of ravens and I have loved every second of it. It felt like Apollo was everywhere! It was an ego-boost every time my grandma trusted me to know whether it was a crow or raven, honestly (it was always a raven).

The warmth I felt, both in my soul and my body, was amazing. Granted, the heat could be unbearable, but without the light of the sun, so many beautiful things would have been lost to the darkness. Bless Apollo!

For a trip, I had some pretty good sleep. I struggled to adjust to the time difference (two hours behind mine) and kept waking up at 6 AM, but, nevertheless, the sleep was great! Bless Morpheus for my ease of sleep and the occasional dream <3

DREAM: I had one dream in particular that stuck with me, which I loved. For context: I’m switching daycares (for pay reasons) in early August, and there’s two specific kids (siblings) that I adore and am extremely sad to leave. In the dream, I had run into them and their mother at the store. They were being obnoxious and I offered to sit and watch them so their mom could finish her shopping, and the entire time they were cuddled up to me and being absolute angels. It was just a sweet dream and I adored it. Bless Morpheus <3

I’ve been obsessively playing Sudoku (sometimes in competition with my family)—bless Athena for the fun of logic games and puzzles! I’d lose my mind without them.

Not one I worship, but bless Hera for the fun I had with my family—especially tonight. I finally started to bond with my younger cousin, a moody, 14-year-old boy, and had loads of fun getting competitive with my family in a game of skip-bo.

Other things I enjoyed on my trip! :)

The Grand Canyon Railway—we got “held up” by some robbers and appreciated some beautiful old-timey music from one of the musicians.

Shopping, and the excessive amount of miniature animals I bought (carved soapstone, crystals, etc.)

Swimming and finally finding the confidence to start getting my hair wet again! Big step for me.

Seeing my two cousins from Alaska, one I’ve only seen once in the past few years and other who I haven’t seen in at least 6. Happy to know I’ll see them again next Spring!

So many sweets! Probably too many, honestly. My poor stomach.

My trip was fun, but I’m glad to be heading home in the next two days to see my own bed and my dog!!

Chuseok

Min Ho x Fem! Reader

Masterlist

♨︎☤♨︎✄

Chuseok arrived soon enough, meaning Principal Han gave speeches to the class on the importance of family and then reminded us to study hard for finals. This also meant that the majority of the school was going home for the week we were given to ourselves and 'family'. Unfortunately, when I text my dad that he should expect me home in about 48 hours all he responded with was 'why'.

message received he doesn't want me around. I wish all my roommates a happy Chuseok as I see their smiles. they all are happy to go home to their parents. I decide to visit the family plot and pray for my brothers' health.

I feel homesick.

I put on my headphones and opened the mother's notebook. It's full of all my mom and grandma's best recipes. It's a tradition in our household that I prepare our special maejakgwa. Mom used to make them every Christmas, Chuseok, and birthday but she can't really do that anymore. Luckily, Kitty is planning a friendsgiving and needs help at the market.

She meets me at my dorm to help me pick out an outfit. I'm still struggling to accommodate all the new choices. Not much familiar. She picks out a pair of slightly platform vans, and a knit, a green-striped mini dress which is a little showy for my tastes. There's a slight wind chill today, so she pairs to be in a different denim jacket than the other day. Seriously Min Ho bought like nine of these.

She puts my wallet, tampons, and other doodads from my last purse into a cross-body bag from YSL. Then she ushers me out of school and into a bus. The city is a little less crowded with all the college kids home for the holiday. That doesn't mean that the families that do live in the city don't the marketplace an absolute zoo. Kitty doesn't have a clue how to read any of the labels so I translate while she fiddles with a playlist of Tik Toks. I show her the bargains but she insists on getting the exact products used in her tik toks.

Kitty is insistent on getting a very pricy bottle of soy sauce. I try to tell her no but she places it in the cart. we move down the aisle. We're doing well until Min Ho approaches,

"What are you doing here?" He asks Kitty, still oblivious to my presence.

"We are getting ingredients for Chuseok dinner."

"Do you even know what you would do with this?" he holds up a bag of rice cakes

"Yes, I do! C'mon Kitty, we only need a few more things." I grab her enormous cart and grunt it forward. Min Ho catches up with us. Probably because I can only go snail speed with the massive cart.

"Here let me help you," he put his very small basket in our cart nad pushed forward. He retuned most of the supplies claiming he already had it up in his dorm.

"Min Ho, who are you buying chocolate strawberries for?" Kitty picks up a heart shaped box

"Someone." he snatches the box back and his phone dings "Ooh it's Lulu, we've been flirting since her trainee days." something in me wilts. That's new.

He ushers us to the registers and it takes much less time to check out if I let Kitty take the ropes. Min Ho brings us to his driver and has him load our groceries in. It feels weird to let people serve me. Were driven back and go right back to the Song-Ho dorm.

Kitty and I put their groceries up in the refrigerator and in the cabinets while Min Ho puts on a movie. It's one that his mom starred in. I missed the tragic opening scene of the movie as I sort out the groceries I need for my recipes.

Min Ho plops down in the center of the left cushion and Kitty joins him at a comfortable distance at the center of the right cushion. This leaves an awkward situation. There isn't enough space to sit between Kitty and the armrest. This means that I have to sit between the two of them. I take my jean jacket off so I don't scratch either of them with the buttons.

Kitty scoots closer to the armrest when I sit and I focus in on the plot. the premise is an uber successful businesswoman whose conglomeration is just a front for her underground ring. Because of Korean censorship laws, they couldn't actually show real drugs but it's heavily implied that she's creating and selling some crazy hallucinogen. The twist though is that she starts to fall in love with one of her lackeys who recently got hooked on her products. This lackey is tied to the company because he's using his labor to pay off his debt. I heard that the movie ends with his mom pregnant because of course no woman is truly fulfilled until she's a mother.

I watch Min Ho's amber eyes light up as he recounts details and stories from the set. From the skeezy director who was hooking up with a sound tech girl. To the producer who showed up drunk every two weeks. He tells me how one arts producer almost quit because he had to keep rebuilding props. and even the fight that went down between the hair designers and the costume team. I start to lose interest though when he brags about the crafty that he hooked up with while his mom performed a very emotional monologue. I swivel my head back to the TV screen as she begins that very monologue.

Her sorrowful words bring tears to my eyes but weight over rules that as I feel exhaustion kicks in. Man, I didn't realize I was this tired. The world swirls to pitch black as I hear his mom sigh and lament.

♨︎☤♨︎✄

I awake to someone gently but incessantly poking my cheek. I peel open my eyes and wipe the crust from my eyelashes. I catch the trail of droll that rolls down the corner of my mouth.

"Man you are not a pretty sleeper."

"Min Ho!" Q, I think yells from the kitchen "That is not nice!"

"I'm just saying, you snore like an ogre." I feel the seam of a blanket tickle my chin as I try to swivel my stiff neck.

"Why is there a blanket on me?" I sit up and let the blanket fall to my waist

"Huh,"

"Why is there a blanket on me?" I inquire with some 'tude

"Because I didn't want you to get cold." min ho mutters but I'm still half asleep so comprehension is still kind of out the window

"What was that Minnie?"

"I didn't want you to get cold!" he half yells half whines

"Aww, you can be sympathetic." I stand up and drape the blaket on his shoulders using it as leverage to pull him close to my face "That's sweet." I tug one side so it flies off his neck and wrap it around my shoulders.

in the Kitchen Q and Kitty are still pulling gout take-out containers. I grab a pair of chopsticks and steal a box of shrimp lomein. Q picks out a pox of fried chicken and some pork fried rice, and Kitty produces a white box of crab rangoon which she munches on happily. Min-ho returns to his room and scoffs at us. he digs through the fridge and pulls out a cabbage and starts chopping it up.

"Are you making Kim Chi for Chuseok?" Dae inquires

"Yeah,"

""Aw man. I almost wish I wasn't going home."

"You're lucky you get to go home. You don't have to be poisoned at Chuseok by Min Ho's kimchi"

"You will not be poisoned, my kimchi is nothing short of orgasmic." I stop and pause with my chopsticks an inch away from my mouth.

"That's disgusting, I suddenly would much rather sleep completely alone in my dorm now." I collect my jacket and my bag of groceries and hike back to the girl's dorm. It's cold and empty in the dorm, I have to turn on every light to see anything. I toss my jacket into oblivion bit then I pause and pick it up and hang it on the coat rack.

I switch the TV on for a source of white noise. The news anchor drones on in Korean about some scandal or another. I circle back to the bag of groceries and start disbursing them throughout the shelves. The majority of our food is freezer meals, sodas, and snacks so I did drop a few dollars on flour. I decide to call it a night. The dorm is lonely, there is no waiting for an obscene amount of time to use the bathroom. I just march right in and line up the products I'll need. I won't need to hide them for the next 6 days.

huh

I clean the bathroom after I've cleansed and wiped and moisturized and serum my face. No one is going to screw this up. I think as I observe the spotless space

huh

With a final brush to my teeth and an adjustment to my braids, I turn the bathroom lights out and lock the front door to the dorm. I flip off the lights in my dorm and tug my hoodie hood up. I pull my covers on and plug my phone in and scroll through Tik Toks. I poke a leg out and flip over on my mattress. I toss and turn for another forty minutes before exhaustion consumes me.

♨︎☤♨︎✄

I arise with perfectly soft and styled hair, and cute matching silky pajamas. Min Ho is in my kitchen preparing me a macchiato without his shirt on.

"Good morning gorgeous." he holds the cup up to me and I hold it. It's the perfect temperature and its tastes lovely when I take a sip. I lick my bottom lip of some loose foam. Min Ho walks around the counter and stands really close to my face. He smells warm and clean, like fresh laundry. In fact, his body radiates warmth.

"Uh oh, You've got a little something." He brings his thumb up to my lip and swipes excess foam off my lip. He puts his thumb to his lips and gently runs his tongue along it. Everything seems to slow down and time ticks by "Well, that was sweet," He leans in and kisses me. He leans back and his eyes flit between mine. I curl up to my tippy toes and kiss him again and his tongue licks across my bottom lip. I open my mouth and let him in.

His kiss feels incredible.

I put my cup on the counter and wrap my arms around his neck. He grabbed me at the back of my thighs, not my ass, just below. I jump up on him and he grabs on tight. He marches me into my room and sets me on the mattress. Everything feels silky, the sheets, his hair, his pajama pants, his skin. His lips feel like warm velvet cake and his body weight feels so comfortable.

I wrap my legs around his waist and he runs his hands up my neck and through my hair. He's locked in and I start rolling my hips against his groin. He feels hot against me. Everything feels hot and silky. In a startling and almost abrupt manner, I feel an oncoming orgasm. My body feels somewhere between weightless and tingling.

I wake up with a startle before I can climax.

My body was shaking. My feet feel like they're full of pins and needles. I walk around and look in the mirror. I try to look at myself but I feel so disgusted. It's not even light out I notice as I take a glance to the window.

I grab my phone and text Q

'emergency hike as soon as you wake up' 02:33

'now?" 02:34

'Oh shit, I guess' 02:34

I run into my room and find some better clothing. All I'm wearing is a hoodie and underwear. I put on a clean pair of underwear and some calf-high socks. I find a cute body suit with a chest cut out and high hips. I find a matching tech wear joggers and cropped hoodie set and throw that on with a pair of high-rise vans. I didn't take the time to put in contacts or put on makeup I just grabbed my phone and ran out the door. Q was waiting for me looking just as glowing as he normally did.

"How do you look so pretty at four in the morning?" I tuck my glasses up

"There is no need for you to be asking me questions. Why did you call an emergency hike? You were so opposed to hiking earlier?"

"Well that's because I didn't want to be around a bunch of people to just stare at me."

"Well you picked a good time, any sane person is still asleep."

"Yeah, that reminds me, why aren't you in bed?"

"Because you texted."

"Well, yeah but," We hit the first hill on the path

"Quit stalling, why did you text me?" He gives me a punitive look in my eyes. I stall until we've reached the apex, and begin our decent

"Uhh, I had a dream."

"Alright Dr. King, about what?"

"Umh about, Min Ho-"

"YOU HAD A SEX DREAM ABOUT MIN HO!"

"Well, um yeah sorta. We didn't have sex but we were making out and it was like hot."

"Ok, so do you think you like Min Ho?"

"No, I'm actually repulsed by him, but like my brain clearly wants me to like him. I'm just, I'm simply lost. Like I have a tangy feeling in my mouth just thinking about kissing him."

"Could that just be morning breath?"

"maybe, but what does this mean? I've never, er I've never really had. sex dream before."

"Never?"

"Well, not this vivid. I had one but it was like I was getting caressed by all these shadows and you could see hands and mouth coming out and attaching to my body but it was no one specific."

"That sounds hot."

"That's not the focus! what am I supposed to do Q?

"I think you should ask Min Ho to be your date to Chuseok."

"I don't think I should get a date to chuseok, especially since he's supposed to be hooking up with Lulu some time soon."

"Lulu she's totally gorgeous and has a beautiful singing voice and she's great at dancing."

"Q" I whined "You're not helping."

"Oh, so you like him?"

"NO, I'm repulsed by him."

"But you dreamt about making out with him?"

"I don't know Q," we round the corner which brings us to the end of the trail "This whole thing is so weird. It's like He's so physically hot that I would be attracted to him scientifically. But his personality is just repulsive. His ego makes me nauseous but every once in a while there is this crack in his persona. You can see this like, genuinely caring and gentle person. But his goodness doesn't outweigh his horrible terribleness."

"Well, maybe you should just make out with him and see if it fucks up your psyche."

"That's terrible."

"You should just try kissing him. Get this out of your system and then see if he wants to keep kissing you or you to him."

"That's nauseating." we reenter the school grounds and sit in the little circle with a cherry blossom tree.

"Well you were the one who dreamed about him all nakey and rubbing up on you."

"Uh gross, I need to go wash my brain and body with holy water."

"No, look, the sun is about to rise!" he points me toward the sky and we get to see the beautiful sunrise. It's so wonderful. It makes my mind clear almost instantly. I look at the conglomeration of colors. The many swirling clouds of violet ad tangerine swirl into a lovely rose to tint the clouds. I sigh and run through all the possibilities of if or If I were not to kiss him.

Every time I come upon a negative answer I just look back into the sky and I see the swirling rainbow. The world looks so pretty when you're not worried about it.

"Alright, we're going to need to get back to the dorm if we want at least an hour of sleep in us before classes." Q shakes me but I remain fixed on the sky

"Why bother, let's just skip."

"No, we don't skip this is a boarding school. Have you forgotten where you are?"

"No,"

"Well maybe you've forgotten who you are."

"Maybe. Ever since this whole transformation I really feel like a whole new girl. I've never felt the desire to rebel like this. What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing, you're doing what normal people do at 12. Some sort of sexual awakening mixed with the urge to rebel."

"You sound like me," I finally get up and join him. We walk back to the dorms. Well I to mine and him to his. I shower thoroughly and brew coffee instead of just using instant coffee. I blare music through the kitchen speakers and sing along to my heart's content. While the coffee brews, I dance around and get dressed. I've got my shirt half-buttoned and tucked sloppily into the skirt. I'm halfway through tugging my left sock on when my front door opens. I scream and topple over.

"Oh my god! Don't ever make that sound again!" from the ground I see Min Ho plugging his ears. He looks handsome in his school uniform, mmm but his tie is sloppy.

"Min Ho," I stand up and brush myself off "Ughh, Alexa volume two. Min Ho, how did you get in?"

"You left your door unlocked. Someone could have broken in." He closes the door behind himself and I hear the lock click.

"Why'd you lock the door?"

"So no one could interrupt us," he stalk closer to me and hold me around my waist. "You know coffee seems to be a good taste on your tongue." He kisses me again. It's even more heated than the first one. Except this time it's real. I can feel the warmth of his body against mine.

"UH (Y/n)?" Q shakes me awake "(Y/n), you were drooling into your coffee." I grunt myself awake and take in my surroundings. I'm not in my dorm, I'm in the boy's dorm. I've got contacts in and I'm quite neatly dressed. Even someone had french braided my hair. Kitty.

I scan over and see that Min Ho, too is very neatly dressed and his tie has been placed impeccably. Except he's not in his uniform he's just dressed for a business meeting.

"Why are you dressed so fancy?"

"I told you we're going to have a photo shoot. If the press sees what charity I've done it'' will reflect well that my mother has raised a gentle and caring son."

"And why am I being used as a pawn to further your mother's success?"

"Because I gave you a makeover. Scratch that I gave you the opportunity not to die a virgin." I slap Min Ho sharp across the jaw

"You deserve the makeover." I point in his face "I may have been ugly on the outside, but you are far worse. Your insides are hideous, you're a slimy festering worm, a conglomerate of all things evil culminating on the insides." I punctuate most of my words with a poke to his chest. Slowly I back him into a wall.

"Woah what the hell is happening?" Dae questions

"This better not be another dream," I push the door open behind us

"Another dream?"

"(Y/n), you're drooling again?" Dae shakes my shoulder

"Fuck I need to get some sleep." I wipe my eyes "And not have a sex dream." and groan into a pillow

"I'm sorry, what?"

"You're continuously having sex dreams?" I hear Min Ho say from the kitchen.

"No,"

"Who are they about?"

"None of your business. Dae shouldn't you be home?"

"I was just about to leave, but you were groaning in your sleep. Are you alright."

"I'm fine. Go home Dae," I put a hand on his shoulder.

He seems ready to leave, picking up phis duffel and almost running out of the room.

"How did I end up here?"

"Q said you passed out after taking a hike with him at four in the morning. We didn't have your card so we couldn't get into your dorm."

"Wait wait wait, before we go any further, am I dreaming?"

"You just woke up?"

"Yeah well, I've been fooled before."

"you're awake. Oh how do you say to a photoshoot with me after chuseok?"

"Holy shit am I psychic? Or is this deja vu?"

"what are you talking about?"

"I swear I just had this conversation with you. But in my dream."

"Oh, so you are having sex dreams and dreaming about me?"

"Sorta, but in this last dream I was just yelling at you. You seemed kind of turned on by it." he rears back

"So you're having multiple sex dreams about me?" I sit up and tuck my knees in

"Sort of? I was talking to a friend and they said I should just try to make out with you to get out of my system."

"What, who said that?"

"I'm not going to reveal my sources."

"Well why don't you try and kiss me and get it out your system."

"Because that's gross."

"Well, you're the one who's dreaming about it."

"I should have never told you, I knew this would go poorly."

"If you don't kiss me, maybe I'll just kiss you."

"Oh brother," I drop my face into a nearby pillow

"What," he drags me back up by my shoulder. He smiles and it just feels magnetic

"That's something you would have said in those dreams. Something super cliche and Wattpad-y"

"Well, If I kiss you what will happen?"

"I don't know," I gasp as he leans with gently puckered lips. I put a hand on his collar and give him a gentle pushback. "And I don't want to find out. I don't think I'm emotionally mature enough to be ready for a relationship with you. You're very handsome, but I'm not ready to handle you the way you are. I'll see you at dinner tomorrow Min Ho." I get up and leave the dorm. I've learned from my dreams in several ways and picked up all my belonging after making a dramatic exit.

♨︎☤♨︎✄

I decided to catch up on my sleep. And man was I exhausted. I slept for almost 16 hours and woke up the next day. It was actual Chuseok day so I needed my head screwed on straight. I got out my mom's cookbook to get the maejakgwa recipe. Because my family couldn't get them fresh I was going to make two batches. Baking always takes my mind off everything. I get so focused on the details. The timer dings as I scrub some dishes and I pull the ginger cookies out of the oven.

They smell delicious.

I want to eat all of them.

I let the cookies cool down and find a fun box to package them. I try to write out a letter to my family but I end up sobbing onto the sheet of paper. Before I can get too emotional I text a hand delivery service and tell them that I need a box of cookies brought to my friends. I prepare the box and wait by the front entrance of the school. A man on a scooter collects the box with a smile. I return to the dorm and prepare my main dish.

My granny's muguk.

I had to buy beef broth because I didn't have the time to prepare true broth. while that boils I chop radish and scallions and then slice up the beef. The dorm swells with the smell of Granny's delicious soup. It's what reminds me that I have yet to eat breakfast. I throw the final seasonings in the pot and wash my hands.

There's not much in the fridge but I find two Chobani flips and guzzle them down. Then I take down a box of strawberries. I lower the heat on the soup and let it simmer for another hour. I spend that time getting ready for dinner. I find a big slouchy cardigan and a really cool long pleated skirt. I add a simple white tank top under the cardigan and match it with some white sneakers. That sense of rebellion rises and I keep my glasses on.

I give my hair a curl and clip some pieces back and put o a light layer of makeup on. The sun is starting to set so I pot my soup and bring it down to the common area. I run back up to my dorm and retrieve the cookies and when I return the hall is almost full of expats.

Unfortunately so are Professor Finnerty and Professor Lee are there as well. I have nothing against Professor Finnerty. He's handsome and understands the students better because he seems like he's fresh out of the womb. But, Professor Lee is too intense for my peers. I like him though. I see Kitty, Q and Min Ho pull up. They place down big bowls of food and everyone finds a seat to get situated.

"Kitty, why don't you make a toast?" Q pushed her up to stand

"Well, hello everybody this is my first Chuseok but I'm going to make sure it isn't my last." There's a scatter of giggles "I want to make this toast out to my mom. Wherever you are, I love you, Mom, Happy Chuseok!" we all cheer and clink our glasses together. I find my soup and take a healthy portion of my muguk. Then I get a scoop of white rice and some japchae.

I say thank you for the food and dig in. Someone brought a gallon of Arizona iced tea so I grab a cup when I burn my tongue on the beef. I meet Min Ho at the drink station

"Oh Hello, (Y/n)."

"Min Ho you look kind of sweaty," I reach up for his forehead and it feels clammy.

"I feel fine."

"Well, you have that date tonight, right?"

"Yeah, how did you-"

"I hear you bragging about it. Just here, "I dig around my sweater pockets and provid some pills. "You look like you may need some meds. Here's Dramamine for nausea, tums, if your stomach starts spinning and cramping. It's an anti-acid. And for general pain here's some Advil." I hand him three little bottles

"Oh, why are you giving me meds. If you saw I was sick wouldn't you love that my date be sabotaged?"

"What who do you think I am? If I ugh If I like someone I'm not gonna purposefully let them have a bad date so they can crawl into my arms. Here, get Lulu an ice cream I hear she likes strawberries."

"Actually we would need to get sorbet."

I return to the tasty Japchae and my muguk. I was enjoying it until someone brought up that Min Ho is the one who cooked it.

"You cooked this Min Ho?" I pulled my utensils from my face

"Yeah, it's my mum's recipe."

"Well, it's delicious." I give him a smile and take another bite "Could use some salt."

"Is this your soup?" He takes a small bowl and has a bite "Could use some pepper."

"Well, you should try my maejakgwa cookies. Maybe bring some to Lulu."

"come here," He stands up and grabs me by the elbow. I'm taken around a corner and pressed against the wall. "what are you doing?"

"What do you mean what am I doing?" I look into his eyes and shake his hand off

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Because I'm a nice person?"

"Well stop, you used to have so much fire why'd you give up?"

"Because you obviously like Lulu. And she's way prettier and better at dancing than I am. So just go on that date and have fun."

I get up on my toes and give him a kiss on the cheek.

I take a deep breath and I limp back to the table ad take the display of steamed dumplings and stuff a stack of napkins in my pocket. I have no thought process my body just moves to its only comfort. I begin blindly stuffing my face until there's no elasticity left in my cheeks. I continue this self-pitying tirade until Professor Lee slams on the table to get everyone to quiet down. I realize what I've done and leave the room.

On my out of the dining hall, I find a nearby garbage bin and spit out my cheek fulls of soft gyoza. Tears are already running down my cheeks from shame. I doubt more than two people were looking at me but my brain tells me my worst fears. Everyone was watching the 'used to be' fat loser cry and stock her cheeks with pork and chicken. I get one of those napkins from my pocket and wipe the corners of my mouth. When I spot and exit I slam the metal and glass door open and continue half-assed splits as cool air hits my reddened cheeks.

"(Y/n)? What are you doing out here?" Oh no, oh god no. I turn on my heel. easiest way to avoid your problems is to run from them "Wait (Y/n) Erg!" Min Ho's distresses gurgles quell my escape

"Are you alright?" I get closer to him"what the hell's wrong with you?"

"I think someone poisoned me."

"What!" I grab my phone and start dialing the poison helpline all while blubbering nonsense Min Ho

"No, I think someone poisoned me with dairy."

"Ohhh that's why you would get sorbet." I reach through my pocket but only find the empty paper cube where the Lactaid pill I took this morning sat. "Oh shit, just," I grab him around his arms and help him up the stairs where we connect with Kitty.

"Finally, you took your sweet time,"

"Wait, you texted Kitty for help?" I let go of his shoulders

"Yeah?"

"Alright," Min Ho's phone interupts me

"It's Lulu she just pulled in. Someone cover for me. But make her feel allured, make me interesting."

"I've got it." I look Kitty in the yes and she grabs onto his bicep and they waddle to a nearby bathroom. I spin on my heel and brace the outdoors.

"Who are you? Have you seen Min Ho?"

"No, Ive been texting him nonstop but he hasn't responded." Her eyes light up. I know it's because she knows min ho is blowing me off to test her "He was supposed to take me for sorbet at six but I guess he got us both."

"Really he double-booked me with you? But you're so, whatever. You tell Minnie that we're going to dinner and sorbet at six tomorrow. One night with me and he'll have no reason to be late again." She turn on her heel and get's back into her fancy private car.

I swallow a ball in my throat and march back up the steps. Kitty is waiting for me ad Min Ho emerges from the doors looking relaxed and refreshed.

"Sooooo?"

"You two have a date tomorrow at six, you're getting dinner and sorbet. make sure to bring a condom." I pat his shoulder with the hand holding my phone. I sway drunkenly back to my room and get undressed. I line up some skin care on the ledge of the bath while it fills with hot water. I fill the tub with confused tears as I take my makeup off and comb my soppy hair.

BIOGRAPHY

Zehra was born and raised in Hidehill. She was an only child to Hande and Ahmet, though her parents wanted more they knew financially they couldn’t support anymore children other than Zee.

She grew up in a large, close-nit family and was always very close with her cousins. She would often spend weekend sleeping at her grandparents house with all of her cousins and would often go on trips to zoo’s and parks.

Zehra discovered her love for singing after her Grandad bought her and her cousins a karaoke machine at Christmas for when they visited on the weekends. They realised she had a natural talent and though they couldn’t afford to put her into lessons they decided to buy her a karaoke machine for at home too and her parents have lots of home made videos of her singing her little heart out.

her grandad passed and she was absolutely devastated by this, she felt like she lost her best friend and for months she barely left her home. She wrote songs which even to this day she can’t read back.

A year after his passing she auditioned for the xfactor with four of her friends as a girl group nammed ‘Femme Fatale’. Her mum encouraged her and it the best thing that ever happened to her.

She gained this lifestyle she never thought she could have, she was able to give her parents and grandma a life they truly deserved and its all she could have ever asked for.

Femme Fatale consisted of 4 girls and went on to release 6 studio albums and achieve 5 number one singles.

Eventually one of the girls left due to differences (wc) and Zehra, Sasha and (tba) went on to continue as a trio before announcing their hiatus.

I made it through yesterday.

(Warning for death mentions and depressive episodes below cut)

I made it through yesterday. I made it through easier than I expected honestly. The days leading up to it were not good. Yesterday, I was busy and had other things to occupy my attention. Today though, not so much.

Yesterday marked seven years since my grandfather died. He was the last of my direct family and the last one who actually cared about me. I didn't get to see him or talk to him for the last four months; a combination of too much work, weird hours, and my family giving me the wrong number for him. I got blamed for everything that happened. I used to be his full time caretaker, while still working a full time job, until I had a nervous breakdown and it became either someone else take care of him or I was probably going to kill myself. At the time he moved away (because care facilities here were more than we could afford and where he went meant that he had most of his family close and visiting daily), he was the healthiest he had been in years despite the repeated strokes. In four months, he'd be dead.

I miss him a lot lately, even though we fought constantly. I was the odd one out in the family. The only one who wasn't fully white, the only one willing to take care of people, the only one who had spent half their life being abused. My grandpa wasn't great, but he tried. He kicked my stepfather out of the house and banned him from ever visiting again (his exact words were I'll burn the house down before you step foot in here again). He took me to rodeos and bought me my first hat. We went to petting zoos and the movie. He taught me to garden, though admittedly it was more what not to do since half his stuff died immediately. We raised chickens together. We used to sing along to the sound of music every year, even after I got my job and spent most of my time trying to catch up on sleep; I'd come home, exhausted and hungry and just needing to be alone for a bit but still stop and sing edelweiss with him (I can still hear his off-key voice whenever I hear the song).

My grandpa was a liar and a jerk and treated my grandma horribly when they were younger. I miss him despite it all.

The year he died, my partner was also in the hospital. They didn't know what was wrong or if he'd make it. I got the call right before going to see him before I had to leave for work. I remember being numb, just not being able to focus or cope. I called my job, begging for the day off because I was afraid to drive and afraid to think and I needed to be with someone who understood. They told my no and said I needed to come in early. So I had to leave the one person who still loved me, who was sick and needed me, to drive almost two hours in traffic to find out I wasn't even necessary that day. I broke down, screaming at my manager in the break area in front of everyone. I was hysterically. They tried to backtrack, telling me they misunderstood and that I could go home. But what was I going home to? Two more hours in traffic to miss visiting hours, to have to go to an empty house full of memories that I couldn't acknowledge yet. I spent most of my shift sobbing in the back areas, no one really knowing how to help me. During all of this too, my family kept threatening to make me homeless. I didn't want to go on.

I don't know how I made it through that time. No one spoke to me for months other than my partner, who did get better eventually. I never got to cope with any of that, or my grandma's or mom's deaths. I just had to keep going.

So I made it through this year. Today is hard but I made it. In a few weeks, it'll be fourteen years since my grandma died, the woman who loved me unconditionally and raised me, and that's going to be hard. I'm afraid that this year, my stepfather will finally find me and I can't deal with that again; he's the reason more than anything that I hate my birthday and just wish it didn't exist. Then I'll be practically alone for the first month of the year and then the numbness will lift for a bit until spring, when I'll have to confront my mother's death again. I've been in therapy for years and it helps but sometimes it's not enough. I know I'll be fine, because I've kept going this long and I can go a bit longer. Each day is a step and breaks are allowed.

But fuck I'm tired right now. I miss the numbness.

Now those toys bring back so many memories. The zoo near mine had loads of them but I could never afford one.

I know it not the same line of toys but this is my little owl toy and it's name is Grandma. My grandmother bought it for me when I attended a science fair as a little treat when I was young. She's sadly not with me anyone but this toy is and it's very dear to me as it hold special memories :)

Daily writing promptList your top 5 grocery store items.View all responses Shopping, it can be a zoo. We have two major supermarket chains and a local natural food store. And there are one or two rinky-dink places where you may need to sanitize anything bought there. We live in a reasonably cosmopolitan area, so why can’t I find pasta de guava or halvah?

ʚ(╹ڡ╹)ɞ 03.04.23 Trip to Zoo ¨♡

Went to the zoo yesterday for my sister's birthday. It was so much fun! In the past we weren't able to really go out for our birthdays to celebrate so it was nice being able to get out of the house and explore. We got to see all of our family members throughout the day, some met with us at the zoo and others went out to eat with us later in the night, then we walked around downtown until like 1am. Best. Day. Ever. Haha, we even got Dippin Dots icecream. Its hilarious because my siblings and I are 19+ and we all were giggling like children with our Dippin Dots. Man, we got to see so many animals in person. Ostrich, Hippos, Rhinos, Lizards, Snakes, I wish we got to see the Lemmurs lol BUT THATS FINE! I hope to see them with my boyfriend when we see each other again <3 We live far from each other but one day we won't ~. After visiting the zoo, we went out to eat at this wonderful Mexican restaurant, the staff were so friendly and luckily, they're margaritas were strong enough to where we could just drink there instead of going bar hopping later in the night LOL! We met up with more family then finished our meals and stayed at our grandma's for a bit then drove to our cousin's new apartment and chilled there. Vibing out to music with people you love, enjoying drinks, and just talking is so underrated. I'd love doing that everyday if I could :,) After vibin at the apartment, we hit the streets of downtown and oh my god, lemme tell ya, the city is so beautiful. Lights and projectors, music, drunk people, sober people, families at parks, couples taking strolls, all of it made for the perfect film-like scene. I literally felt like we were in a movie with some of what we experienced during that walk aaaah! I may move to the city one day just to see the night life and early mornings. Here are some photos I took while we were at the zoo. There are many more but I think I'll keep those in my phone for now. I wanted to take my new Sony camera while we were out, jeeez those would've been some fire pics if I did. Would start with photos from the drive to the zoo and end with blurry downtown selfies of everyone laughing in the street and stumbling into a corner 7/11 for the second time LOL! I gotta take my camera out more. I have 3 total; Polaroid Now 2(? I think thats what its called), Canon Rebel x(?), and Sony RZsomething haha. And hell no I'm not rich! The Canon was a gift from my dad when I was like 15. The Polaroid was a birthday gift I bought for myself specifically to take photos of my boyfriend and I when he came down to visit for the first time (our first real life encounter o3O we some online daters lmao) in 2021. The Sony is my newest baby, was also a self birthday/christmas gift in 2022. One of the best decision of my life has been purchasing that camera... For many reasons.. ANYWHO these photos from the zoo were captured on my lovely, timeless iPhone 6s :) Enjoy my wonderful pixels ♡

Their whole museum tour passed in such atmosphere – to Sebastian’s delight grandma Charlotte was happily sharing dozens of cute anecdotes about little William, and then William would pout, all embarrassed, and in turn he would tease Sebastian too. Their constant banter made Charlotte laugh, they were so cute together! And Sebastian was just so charming and funny, a delight to be around. She could see clearly why her grandson considered him his best friend – Sebastian’s company was wonderful.

They didn’t get to walk around the entire museum, because that would really take a whole day. And they had dinner reservation, after all.  But since Sebastian had this little printed guide with a map, they strategically walked around the exhibitions that interested them the most. They went to historical fashion exhibition, which was especially a treat for Charlotte, but also Sebastian. William especially liked the exhibition about birds – there were beautifully painted illustrations from old zoology books, and also they displayed stuffed bird species. Which was of course sad, but very informative, and honestly the only change to see some of the rare kinds.

In the end, they spent almost three hours waking around the museum, and by the end of it their feet were sore, and they were all very hungry. Fortunately, it was almost time for their dinner reservation, so Charlotte decided that Thomas should take them to the restaurant right away. But first – of course – they needed to visit the gift shop. William bought himself some postcards with bird paintings, and for Sebastian he got plush a saber-toothed tiger. “Here. Together with the one I got you at London’s zoo it seems you’re starting your own collection.” William chuckled.

Once shopping was done as well, they left the museum, and found Thomas waiting with the car on a nearby parking spot. Little did Sebastian know – while they were touring the museum, Thomas, working on Charlotte’s instructions, went back to the music store to pick up the violin. The instrument was now safely waiting in the trunk of the car, waiting to be gifted to Sebastian later in the evening, back at the mansion.

For I have sinned...

The principal cleared his throat, eyes scanning the notes that he had wrote down before this meeting. It already lasted an hour, and the teachers gathered in the faculty room were becoming restless and bored. But indeed there were some things to discuss, with the concert that the senior class was supposed to perform at the end of the semester, and with recent staff changes. 

William glanced down at his watch, sighing softly. His class was starting in 15 minutes, so at least, whether the meeting will be done soon or not, he will get to excuse himself. He looked out of the window, his mind wandering. Principal’s voice turned into white noise in the background. It was a pleasant day, late summer. But William was looking forward to a slightly cooler weather. Wearing all black could really be bothersome at times. 

“And lastly, I am pleased to announce that we have finally found replacement for the violin teacher. Dear Mr Tanaka, may he rest in peace, was with us for so many years that I’ve been concerned we won’t be able to find someone as good as to fill this position.” the principal spoke. “But Mr… Michaelis, was highly recommended to me, and he indeed has impressive references. He will be starting this week, so please welcome him warmly once he will arrive. Ah yes… about that. He will arrive today at noon, I need someone to pick him up from the train station and bring over for the tour around the school. Any volunteers?” 

William was barely listening, and definitely not paying much attention. He glanced at his watch again, and saw that it was time to leave, as his class was about to start. He raised his hand to excuse himself, and little did he know, he just volunteered.

“Father William! Excellent!” the principal exclaimed. “Just don’t be late, the train arrives at noon.”

“Train…?” William questioned, raising his brow. He had a feeling he was missing something…

***

Right after the meeting, William had to run for the class, so he had little time to clarify what exactly he had volunteered for. He was a piano teacher in this Music Academy, but also he served as a priest in local church. Well respected, and rather liked. So when he later found out it was about the new violin teacher, he didn’t refuse. Who, other than himself, would be a better choice to introduce a newcome to their community?

So even though he raised his hand by accident, he accepted this fate.

After classes, at noon, William took a taxi and drove to the train station, to pick up their new teacher. Wearing black trousers, and a black shirt with a thin tie, was absolutely dreadful in this weather, so William quickly found shelter under the roof of the station platform, that provided some shade.

The train had just arrived. William had no idea how Mr Michaelis looked like, but he figured he will just look for someone carrying a violin case with them. 

He was in for a bit surprise.

sry for the lack of activity on my part here it’s been v stressful wrt the crimis season i’m dealing with a lot of small things and a couple really big things and it makes me want to eat my own hands more details under the cut if ur interested (tw mention of a horrible certain swamp scum transphobe author; fellow transpersons beware)

1) my gma is 85 and is on her last legs idk how much longer she’s got left in her and with her being in the hospital with afib (atrial fibrillation for those who dont know, basically her heart is beating 2 fast and out of rhythm (but afib can be any kind of heart beating speed, it just means it’s Not Normal) and the winter storm she is staying with us which means my mom is more Aggressive and Demanding and Hateful towards me and dad bc idk i guess hosting ur small quiet kind grandma calls for attacking your husband and child (very important ingredient cannot skip)(btw my grandma is fine she’s just very weak and is struggling to physically move around by herself but insurance company is refusing to let her go to a physical rehab center for treatment???? lol????? hashtag AICAB (all insurance companies are bastards)

2) speaking of whom i also came out to my mom as trans after an argument abt justa kunt r*wling (mom doesnt know anything abt how nasty of a creature wizard bitch is but i’m still like mom pls there are better authors out there with fictional work that isn’t harmful) book that she bought for my cousin’s step-daughter (she’s fucking NINE) and i was so triggered i was like i need to get this out it’s weighing on me (it was every time i wanted to come out to her and didn’t it was so damaging to me mentally) so that was wild and lukewarm but she didn’t kick me out of the house and says she loves me and wouldn’t reject me no matter what (unless grandma is around??? for some reason idk) so while that is a good thing it’s still been a very hard birthday month for ya boi greg

3) i’m also on the phones at work which in itself isn’t a bad thing because the calls i get are from ladies who work at the courts across the state and they are for the most part very nice and easy to work with but i have Big Phone Anxiety thanks to my time working at the call center for the same agency (i don’t even answer the phone at home anymore and i get scared when it rings, members of public are nasty and i hate them and they belong in a zoo) so that’s causing me anxiety at night andd also at work even tho when i’m actually talking on the phone it’s not really an issue it’s just the Anticipation of a Call

4) i’m in therapy!!!! with a transgender therapist and he’s WONDERFUL but we are focusing more on cbt (cognitive behavioral therapy) which is digging up a lot of pain for me and forcing me to deal with my emotions and my past trauma so THAT’s A LOT and now i have “I came Out to my MOM” for him for next time so that will be interesting (i need to just let myself cry in front of him i have a VERY hard time crying in front of ppl bc i was horribly abused for crying at a babysitter’s house but that’s 1) very heavy and 2) neither here nor there)

5) BEACUSE OF ALL THE STRESS and cold weather my lip split open and 2 canker sores formed in the split area so that’s been cool

6) christmas is just stressful for me and also my mom has been On One this whole month because murphy’s law keeps going into effect w grandma being in the hospital and her brother my uncle suggesting we have christmas separate because of covid (he and my aunt both had covid VERY recently), grandma being sick in the hospital, and the winter storm and i also have 3 cakes i’m baking so THAT’s stressful to think about and i just want it to be over lollll

[huggybug]

for dilf day can you y/n and their daughter going to visit trevor on the road but they went back to the hotel before the game was over and so when trevor gets there their daughter is super excited to see him and she’s like “ we need to wake up mommy she wants to see you” and trevor tells her that they should let mommy sleep and they she will see him in the morning then when trevor is getting ready for bed their daughter is just talking about what’s been going on scene trevor left ( OMG this is so long i’m sorry but i think about this a lot) also can the daughter be like 3-4

okay… i totally thought somewhere in the ask i saw it was for poppy?? obviously it doesn’t but i didn’t notice until after i wrote it so i’m sorry but it’s about poppy😭😭

When Trevor finally got back to the hotel, he walked into a dark room to find Poppy sitting on the small couch, watching a show on her ipad while you were fast asleep in bed.

“Daddy!” Poppy jumps up, throwing the ipad down as she runs to Trevor who lifts her in his arms, dropping his bag as he carries her away from the door. 

“How was the game baby? I thought you’d be asleep by the time I got home” It was late, close to midnight and while it wasn’t exactly a problem that she was awake, he figured since they weren’t there after the game, it was because Poppy was too tired to stay the whole game.

“So fun! Mommy’s tired” Poppy says loudly, pointing over to where you were asleep on the bed. 

“Shh c’mon babe, let’s let Mommy sleep while we get you ready for bed” He walks into the washroom, shutting the door quietly behind them so that Poppy’s loud voice doesn't wake you.

“Mommy was sad” Poppy says after brushing her teeth (like a big girl!).

“Oh? Why baby?”

“She wants to see you. You weren’t at home” Trevor’s heart pounds. He hated leaving them, even if he had been for years now, that didn’t make it any easier.

“You know Daddy has to work though, right? That’s why I can’t always be home” Poppy was smart for her age, she understood that Trevor had to leave. That he plays hockey and sometimes that means he can’t be home.

“I know and Mommy knows but Baby Lu doesn’t know that. He’s sad too Daddy” Poppy explains like Trevor’s silly for not knowing that her unborn brother was upset about it all.

“I’ll have to tell him then” Trevor smiled softly. “I’ll do it tomorrow okay? But I missed you P, tell me what you did at home this week” That sets her off, she talks about the baby store you took her to and all the baby boy things you bought. She recounts the visit with your mom, the day at the zoo with Grandma and how you all went for ice cream afterwards. She talks the whole time Trevor’s getting ready for bed and all the way over to her bed.

“Okay, bed time P” Trevor sets her down, tucking her in. Poppy wiggles out from under the covers to get her arms around his neck, pulling him down into a hug.

“I missed you Daddy. I wish you didn’t have to leave to play hockey”

“I know babe, I missed you too. We have all day tomorrow but you’ve gotta sleep now so it’ll come quicker” That's all it takes for her to flop down into bed and she's asleep before Trevor can get into bed himself. You feel the bed dip and roll over to see Trevor carefully maneuvering himself to try and disrupt you as little as possible but being in your second trimester, any movement was enough to wake you.

“Shit sorry baby” He whispered, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

“Sorry we left early today”

“I heard it was because you were tired, didn’t know my playing was so boring these days” Even through the darkness, you could see the smirk on his face.

“Hm I wasn't tired, it was all Lu” You smiled tiredly when you felt his hand land on your belly.

“Can’t be mad at that then can I?” Trevor whispered. “P told me you were sad, that’s why you guys left” 

“Just missed you” You were still half asleep so it all came out mumbled together.

“I missed you too baby” Trevor wrapped his arms around you as best he could, in a form of a makeshift hug. “Season’s almost over though, then we get four uninterrupted months of each other”

“Oh aren’t I lucky?” You say sarcastically and he pokes your side in retaliation.

“The luckiest” He winks and kisses you before saying goodnight and passing out with you following close after
