#he was just stalking me without my knowledge so id be nice to him when he showed up in the same place as me

[housedyke]

Every so often I remember the guy in high school who

Asked me out without bothering to confirm if I had feelings for him

A day later messaged me to ask if I thought he was joking and was my answer still no

When I confirmed that I very much did not want to date him asked if there was anything he could do to change my mind

Hello! I saw your askbox and open and read your rules and you are right, it's not often I see Male×Male reader inserts in the TWST fandom. So, I'd thought I'd request some to help the cause! If I may, can I request some headcannons of dorm leaders of TWST×Male!Reader who is in their dorm and has been noticeably stressed in their schoolwork and one night is seen super stressed out and the dorm leader's fellow students pull the reader aside and hand the reader over to the dorm leader because the reader refuse to listen to anyone else?

Of course you may! Tbh, this is such a nice request, I enjoy doing multiple characters, but it's so difficult for me to write for Azul and Vil in this hc for some reason??

REMINDER: Don't overwork yourself just because you don't think it's enough! The fact that you're trying is already amazing! Please remember to take care of your health because you matter! 💜

Triggers: None!

Dorm Leaders dealing with a stressed Male!Reader

Ever since Riddle got a text from Trey and its about his boyfriend doing his schoolwork on ungodly hours he was worried, very worried.

He wants to come to you and make a 2 hour speech about how you shouldn't overwork yourself but he barely has anytime as well, he's a very busy man as well.

So he decided to order your friends, Ace and Deuce to tell you to not overwork yourself. Hell, he even prepared a script for them.

Of course, it didn't work. It was so obvious it was from a script because Deuce sounds so robotic and Ace kept correcting Deuce. Your stubbornness makes it even more awkward and worse.

He ordered Trey and Cater this time, with a whole new script too.

They did a good job and all, but it also failed because your ass is so stubborn and Cater is pretty impatient and kept using his phone.

This only made you stressed out even more because these mofos probably dont understand how you feel.

Deuce's dense ass noticed this and told Ace about it. And that's how Ace got a big brain idea.

You were screaming, usually, the ADeuce duo usually stays at your dorm to chill while you do your work and NOT drag you to their dorm.

They shoved you to Riddle's room and what you're not expecting was your boyfriend showing a very worried face.

He immediately hugged you tightly before you could say a word. He cupped your face and caressed your cheek.

“My sweetheart, please don't overwork yourself, it's unhealthy for you. From now on, only work yourself for 2 hours max. Come now, let's drink some tea together.”

He knows that something's up when you haven't been hanging out with him for a while.

He misses his herbivore so much, he misses cuddling his boyfriend but he's too prideful to admit.

When he found out you've been doing your schoolwork 24/7 by Ruggie, his response is indecisive but on the inside he's bothered.

Since he's too lazy to move on his very comfortable position, he threatened ordered his dorm members to convince you to stop overstressing yourself.

Knowing Savanaclaw, of course they failed, there was no hope to begin with. It was a disaster. They tried but they're way too intimidating for you to even listen to their words. Thank god Ruggie was there to bail them out so it wasn't too awkward.

This made Leona very moody. Not only he cannot snuggle with you, his plan failed and he now forces himself to sleep alone in pain. Boohoo.

Ruggie can't stand this man's temper tantrums so he just snatched you away from your dorm and toss you to a sleeping Leona.

The lazy lion woke up immediately when he recognized your scent. Since he's still sleepy however, he just pulled you to his bed and hugged you close with his tail wrapped on your leg

“Hmph, you chose your schoolwork over me and had the audacity to not meet up for the entire week? You're not going anywhere this time, especially with you in my arms.”

He won't blame you to be honest. He overworks himself too and ignore your warnings multiple times. However, that doesn't mean he's not going to do anything about it.

He at least has time to spend with you but you didn't. Of course that made the octopus upset and he's not gonna five up when it comes to you.

He stalks you everytime he gets the chance. Your stressed expression really displeases him. He wants to do something about this so bad but he doesn't want to disturb his already stressed boyfriend.

Jade caught on to Azul's bizarre behavior and he cam up with an idea to surprise both of you.

“Kidnapping shrimpy? Ok!” of course Floyd would say yes, it's Floyd.

You're screaming in distress and confusion. Just a second ago you were messaging your temples because you couldn't mesmerize what Mr. Trein taught you and now you're getting kidnapped by the Leech twins, what a surprise. An unwelcome one at that.

Azul was shocked when he hears your cries as the twins dropped you off his room, still tied in ropes and leaving like nothing happened.

Azul untied you, explaining theories as to why they would do such things, but when he does got the right answer, he blushed in embarrassment. He caused this.

He placed a soft kiss and holds your hand gently.

“I apologize for causing a huge ruckus. It's just I missed you when you barely replied to my calls and texts and you kept working and that made me worried sick! I'm sorry that I sound selfish but.. Could you stay here a bit longer, please?”

Oh dear. How could you say no to that?

Ok first of all how could you even ignore him? He always keep coming to you and basically screaming at you.

Your stress may could have took the you over and may accidentally snapped at him for being too noisy.

This made him sad and left the room. BUT HEY AT LEAST YOU GOT SOME PEACE AND QUIET AM I RIGHT?

But if you think that's gonna make him upset??? You're his wonderful boyfriend! His treasure! No matter what, just seeing thinking of you makes him happy again.

This didn't last as you kept ignoring his daily chat with you and his messages and calls. This wasn't okay.

This genuinely made him stressed as well, he probably doesn't even exist to you anymore. Despite it just being 2 days if felt like forever since you talk to him or even looking at him with a smile.

Kalim wanted to spend fun times with his boyfriend like always. Not just sit there and look at him groaning at the worksheet every now and then.

He missed you so much. Even though he sees you, it just doesn't feel the same.

He got less happier as the days go by, everyone got worried sick. Even Jamil felt disturbed about it, usually he would be living the life when Kalim's quiet.

Everything's the usual today. Kalim visiting you and he's quiet again. You of course felt bad but you really need to pass this test.

But out of nowhere, you kept getting text messages from Jamil screaming to you about talking to Kalim and how pathetic he looks when sad.

When you turned around, your heart shattered to pieces. There it is, a sad Kalim in tears, curling himself on your bed to at least have your scent on him.

You stopped what you're doing and hop on tour bed and press his face against the crook of your neck, muttering sorry.

“Ahhh! I miss you so much,habibi!(my love) please don't overwork yourself and ignore me! I love you so much and seeing you date your homework then dating me hurts me! Please dont leave me! I'll be the best boyfriend ever!”

Who do you think you are, to ignore your lover's calling just for a paper of misery? How foolish.

Vil understood that your future is important to you, but do you really need to worry when you're dating the Vil Schoenheit? The beautiful, rich man who spoils you every single day?

Not only that, stress causes wrinkles and you're also ruining your sleep schedule?! Unacceptable.

He kept ranting to you about how greasy your hair and how big the bags under your eyes are.

To the point you have to lock your door to refrain him for entering and rant. You're already stressing out and there's literally no way you're going to hear about your dramatic boyfriend moan about your appearance.

He kept calling and texting you and you also ignore that. If anything you gave good morning texts or either leave him on read.

And he's not tolerating that.

His job was easier to handle than the others. He can just ask Rook to kidnap you and he would oblige and do so in an instant.

And he just did that.

Unlike the others, you know exactly what's going to happen when Rook is violently dragging you to Pomefiore. He's going to put you in Vil's room, listen to him rant for a few hours and do beauty things or whatever.

Well, have of that did happen when Rook closed Vil's door. He did rant but what your not expecting was him being very gentle and sweet.

“I knew it, you got increasingly worse. Oh well, I will refix this mess later. But for now, you should rest right beside me. No leaving no matter the circumstances, you understand, potato?”

I mean, of course you're gonna ignore him, he's just a gross, weeby loser. There's no way he can impact your life positively in any single way. If anything, he probably causes trouble to his you anyway.

He doesn't really wanna stop you, he really cherishes you and your choices even if they're not good and losing someone like you is probably gonna take years to move on to.

Poor Ortho, he needs to hear his brother rant about his boyfriend not being able to see nor play games with because he's busy working himself.

But this made Ortho worry. Not only id his brother is sad but you're risking your health to do schoowork! That's no good.

This made you confused. Ortho kept muttering about your health status to himself everytime you pass by the hallways.

And everyday, your stress levels increase and your health is deteriorating.

He needs to make you rest at all cost but he knows your stubborn. So he has to do one thing that makes your knees weak.

His very own special puppy eyes.

Ortho innocently dragged you to Idia without either of you guy's knowledge.

When Idia finds out, he immediately apologized for the inconvenience he caused and you might have to be the one to comfort him.

“I'M SERIOUSLY SO SORRY! I just really wanted to play games with you and hangout with you like usual.. Eh? You will?? REALLY!?”

At first, the fae didn't even realise you are stressing despite showing a few signals.

Until you start ignoring him. Then you got a pouty Malleus. (aw)

He doesn't understand why you're struggling with Mr. Divus' homework, it seems so easy to him, why is it so hard for you?

That made you upset and he still doesn't know why.

He never had a boyfriend like you before so of course he's not gonna understand gen z struggles. Spare him please.

Lilia gave him some tips, only for it to be tricks and make you more upset. snide mf

Seeing a sad Malleus made Sebek upset, then mad.

He asked Lilia what's wrong with his young master.

And when he found out you're replacing him with your schoolwork and then for some reason 'stressing' about it??

How rude!

Sebek kept nagging at you to stop working and pay attention to your damn boyfriend but you couldn't care less about Sebek and his shenanigans.

You only start sweating when he suddenly yanked your arm and dragged you to Diasomnia.

And what you see is a pouty Malleus playing with his little game.

When you sat next to him, he immediately wrapped you in his arms.

“My darling, I plead for you not to pressure yourself in something that only destroys you even more. What progress you have done is enough for today but as of now, you need rest. Release all your negativity away, love.”

This is literally my second work but I already feel like a failure.

You’ve Gotta be (Psych)idding Me (WIP)

Prologue: Only Time will Tell

The future is a funny thing. Everyone spends so much time trying to prepare for it, control it, understand it, predict it. But the only thing that truly knows the future is the future itself. It’s the runner at the head of the race, always two steps ahead.

Lizzie Bennet likes to think that she’s one of the few people that can interpret the vague and elusive nature of time. She knows that time is a circle, not a line, spinning around and around until it settles on a narrative it likes, a narrative that the people within it spiral into. She understands that the future and past are fragile and tangible things, breaking and bending to the whims of those around it. She remembers that the future is a promise, not a guarantee. Promises can be broken.

And yet, with all her otherworldly knowledge, idiots like the one standing in front of her still feel the need to doubt her.

“No offense, but psychic powers are usually… a farce.”

No offense, but you look like you belong in a shitty version of ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’.

The teenage girl standing next to him shoots him a wary look, momentarily pulled away from the homemade essences she had been drawn to originally. Lizzie bites her tongue and gives the stranger a cursory once over. He’s wearing slacks and an Oxford shirt with the sleeves rolled up, showing strong, tan forearms. She doesn’t need to be a psychic to guess that he’s an asshole.

He’s also really hot.

(She’s really unimpressed with the lack of correlation between physical attractiveness and positive personality traits. The world isn’t a fair place.)

“You realize that you basically just said ‘no offense, but I think you’re scamming people out of their money’? How exactly am I supposed to not be offended by that?”

The girl sighs in exasperation, “Can’t we do one thing without you pissing off a random stranger?”

Lizzie feels an odd surge of affection for the girl that she hadn’t previously expected. Then again, she had sensed a positive aura when the two walked in, she just hadn’t been sure which one of them was emitting it. Now she’s definitely sure that it isn’t coming from him.

“Stay out of this Georgy,” the guy snaps before turning back on Lizzie. “Look, I’m trying to be polite. I just don’t believe in what you do.”

“A murderer in a nice suit is still a murderer.”

“That’s a terrible analogy.”

Lizzie scoffs, “Whatever, the point stands. Just ‘cause you dress your bigotry in a bow doesn’t make it okay.”

“It’s hardly bigotry when most psychics actually scam people out of their money. That’s called statistics.”

“So you’re telling me that statistics give you the right to come into my store and insult my career choice?”

“First off, career is a bit of a strong word-”

“Do you get off on being condescending?”

“Secondly, statistics give me a right to be wary of people trying to take advantage of me.”

“I’m pretty sure profiling works off of the same logic.”

“You’re kidding,” he says blankly, “the difference is people can’t choose their skin colour. You can choose your job.”

“I didn’t choose to be a psychic.”

“Oh, so we’re going off of the assumption that you actually have spooky psychic powers? Hang on, let me recalculate my line of argumentation.”

“Fuck you,” Lizzie says with a saccharine smile. Then she swivels to face the girl, “Can I help you.”

Her face lightens up a little in response, but before she can respond, the guy butts in again, “I get it. Now that you’ve realized you’re not going to get any money out of me, you’re turning to my kid sister. Real ethical.”

She’s going to wring him with her bare hands.

(Un)fortunately, his sister decides to step in before Lizzie murders him. “Please Will, I’m not a kid,” she says breezily, “could you try not being a dick for once in your life?”

He scowls, “Don’t swear.”

“It’s not swearing if I’m referring to you by your middle name,” she flashes him a wicked smile and turns to Lizzie, “I’m actually interested in a tarot reading.”

“Sure-”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“You’re no fun,” she pouts, “I’ll even pay for it myself.”

He laughs, “It’s not paying for yourself if you get your allowance from me. Besides, it’s not about that. It’s about the principle.”

“The principle being sticking to your guns when you’re being an ignorant dipshit?” Lizzie raises an eyebrow. “You’re a stellar role model.”

“No,” he rolls his eyes and speaks slowly, like she’s a child, “the principle is that I don’t give money to scammers with shit customer service.”

Lizzie feels her temper rising, but purses her lips and makes sure her voice is level in order to keep her cool, “I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

“You’re kicking me out,” it’s a question, but it comes out as a statement.

Instead of answering, she turns to the girl (Georgy?) and smiles warmly, “I can do a tarot reading now or some other time as long as he’s out of my general vicinity.”

At that, the guy laughs sardonically and brushes past her to stalk towards the door. But when his arm skims hers, something weird happens. A sensation spreads through her entire body, like she’s suddenly been set on fire. Her mind flashes, an image of hands on skin, tugging at her waist, teeth nipping at her lips, dragging a heady moan out of her mouth. The scene changes to Georgy laughing loudly as she jumps into a pool, her cannonball formation spraying Lizzie with water before Georgy reaches up to pull her in too.

But she doesn’t only see her two customers. She feels Jane across town, putting the finishing touches on a wedding cake she was commissioned to make. Her eyes flash to her mother’s house, where the woman stands in the center of the room, performing a ritual for onlookers all around. Then she catches a glimpse of the people walking on the sidewalk in front of her shop, the acute feeling of… irritation taking over her body as she looks from them to her sister back in the shop, still talking to that woman who seems intent on exploiting her-

Lizzie snaps out of it, her eyes flying open to the girl standing in front of her.

What the fuck just happened?

She blinks slowly and looks around the room before looking back to Georgy, trying to gauge if she’s disoriented in any way by what just happened. The girl looks fine though, a little put off by the immature behaviour of her brother, but otherwise completely tethered to reality.

Lizzie shouldn't have expected anything different. Others never see.

Georgy is grimacing when she looks over at her, “I’m sorry about him, he’s just…” she trails off and looks over to where he’s waiting for her by the door, “the worst.”

That brings Lizzie back to the present and she laughs lightly, “That’s an understatement.” If anything, the pained look on Georgy’s face grows stronger at the comment, like she wants the ground to swallow her whole.

Lizzie can sympathize. She’s had quite a few I-wish-the-ground-would-swallow-me moments.

“He’s actually not as bad as he seems,” she starts, but quickly realizes by the look on Lizzie’s face that there’s really no use in defending him. “Anyway, I’ll stop by sometime for a tarot reading. Without him.”

Lizzie nods approvingly before relenting a little, “Don’t worry about it. I’m used to skeptics.”

She thinks of her mother, faux psychic extraordinaire.

She almost doesn’t blame him for his doubts. Almost.

She huffs out another sigh, “Sure, but he has this nasty habit of thinking that the world actually cares about his shitty opinions,” Lizzie laughs out loud at that, surprising even herself. Georgy gives her an award winning smile before turning towards the door. Lizzie takes the hint and heads back to the counter, arranging a set of lighters with cheesy inspirational quotes twisted around to make puns. She tries really hard to distract herself and not look back at the guy or think about the guy or analyse what the guy’s touch did to her.

She just doesn’t understand how someone like him could bring on such a strong connection to the spiritual world.

She’s just finished adjusting a lighter that says ‘you’re a-MAZE-ing’ with a little design of a maze in the background when she hears it.

“You’re not coming back to this crap shack.”

She looks over to the door where Georgy catches her eye and gives a little wave before saying, “Like you could stop me.”

Lizzie simultaneously feels the need to either laugh out loud or punch something as hard as she possibly can.

Fossil Collecting

As far back as I can remember I have always been one for collecting things. From models, toys, stamps, coins, you name it I may have collected it. However some of my favorite things to collect are indeed fossils. I have always been kind of a rock-hound; shoot my whole family collects rocks, shells, and things like that. As for me I have always spent time collecting fossils and getting to appreciate the orgasms of prehistory. Allow me to show you some of my fossils from my own little collection that I have collected over the years. It is not much but it is a nice little collection but it has a lot of offer. 

Here is one of my most prized fossils I have collected over the years. Now sometimes I look for them and sometimes I will buy them it just depends on price and what it is. This is one I bought like I posted earlier from Inner Space Caverns and it is a Megalodon Tooth. As you know I have a thing for sharks. Sharks are really amazing to study. This is a pretty good sized tooth segment. I am still looking for a display case where I can display my fossils on stands and things so that way they are out where I can see them when I walk past. This one is one of my favorites in my tiny collection. I have more shark teeth but this one is the largest I have by far. It was the largest fish in the sea at one point that is why its teeth are so large. 

Here is Charlie who I got at the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center. I got him when I turned 13 on my last trip to Colorado. My what a trip that was. This was one of the coolest fossils in my collection. Most of my fossils come from the ocean or inland sea variety. I am an avid collector of ocean things so it is no wonder really. I also have some polished petrified wood in the collection. I am still looking for more pieces in my collection but it is growing at a slow but steady pace. Charlie is the only full fish I own. I called this fish charlie after Charlie Tuna. This fish is really interesting to look at. He is a couple of inches long and in really good condition. Some of the spinal cord has some vertebra missing but he is mostly there. He was the most complete fish in the fossils that were up for sale there. I think this was a really good purchase for a fossil. 

    Some really small Trilobites I found at Mineral Wells Fossil Park in Mineral Wells Texas. If you have a chance to go there definitely take it. The place may look like just a hole in the ground but you can find a king’s ransom in fossils that are from the Pennsylvanian Period. The whole area where the fossils are was once and inland sea. These were the only two I found that day. I have not been there in a few years but I am hoping to go back sometime in the near future to go and look for more things and to see if I can’t find anything new. Trilobites are one of my favorite fossils. I also love the Fossil Pokemon Kabutops so that is why I have a fondness for these. These are fairly small and not like some you can collect at other places. Most of the fossils at the Mineral Wells fossil site are pretty tiny and you have to literally get on your hands and knees to find these fossils. In a bit I will give you some tips on how to prepare for your own fossil hunting trip. 

A cool Ammonite I purchased around the same time as my fish fossil when I was on my last Colorado trip. We went up to a rock shop in the mountains when I found this in a glass case. It only cost me about eleven bucks but the specimen is amazing. These are related to the octopus and the squid. These closest living thing to these creatures today is the creature known as the Chambered Nautilus. The nautilus is a really cool creature. It is kind of accident prone since they mainly swim backwards all of their lives. They can’t see where they go half the time and often run into rocks. I am sure life was the same for these fellas. Ammonites can range to being really small to as big as a small child or bigger. These are super cool and were the food source creatures such as Ichthyosaurs and pleisosaurs and other marine reptiles. These are really cool and another one of my favorite types of fossils. 

Some Sea Lily or Crinoid parts. Both shots are of the spinal cord section (first shot) are the individual spinal disks. Notice the shapes of the center don’t they remind you of the flowers on Spongebob Squarepants? That is what they look like to me. I find these really fun to collect. I have a necklace made from Crinoid spinal cord. These are what I call nature’s beads and I found these at Mineral Wells Fossil Park. These are really cool to collect. I have a few of the cup sections which would sit on top of each stalk. These guys would often time branch out and are closely related to Sea Anemone’s of today. These on the site are fairly small but most of the other stuff is quite small. Mostly Pennsylvanian Period fossils tend to be fairly small compared to other fossils in the timeline. These are some of my best pieces in my collection. Still have yet to make another trip out there to see if I can’t find any of their ancient shark teeth. They have one type of shark tooth out there that is kind of hard to find and I was not that lucky to find one. Next time I go I am bringing a sifter and a shovel to see what else I can manage to dig up. 

   A few more fossils I found at Mineral Wells Fossil Park were these Brachipods. These guys are a kind of bivalve creature. I am not sure which type they are but you can find quite a few of these on the site.

 A couple more from the Mineral Wells collection. These are a few prehistoric snails or something. I have not had the time to ID these to the fullest but judging by their shape and size they are some type of ancient snail. I don’t have that many snail fossils but I do have quite a few shell fossils in my collection. Almost the whole collection I have is composed of prehistoric sea life which tend to be the most common fossils you can collect. Texas has some really good places to find fossils but you have to know where to look. Tandy Hill Nature Area is a place I visit on occasion and even though you can’t take anything out of the park I still take photos of fossils to add to my photo fossil collection. Hey sometimes pictures are the best alternative to having something and I take plenty of them.

So basically that is my fossil collection’s best bits and pieces. I hope you enjoyed the photos. I have more but I find these to be the best ones to talk about when I am sharing with people.  Fossil hunting is fun and sometimes just bringing a shovel, a kneeling pad, magnifying glass, gloves, (on some digs) a hammer, chisels, toothbrush, and collection jars are the essentials to have when out on a dig. Don’t forget weather and dig appropriate attire is always a plus and sunscreen. I don’t do too much fossil hunting but I do love to have that kind of adventure from time to time. I have a lot of fun on digs and find some of the coolest things. I have been collecting since I was just a small boy. My first dig I ever went on was out at Eagle Mountain Lake here in Texas and my love for fossils and understanding what life must have been like back then has only grown. I am kind of a jack of all trades when it comes to nature. I am a birder, insect hunter, fossil and rock hound, you just can’t study one thing without dabbling in all the other stuff. It is all connected and doing this will allow you to understand the nature world as a whole. You gain a better knowledge of how animals adapted and evolved. So it is pretty fun to learn about all aspects of nature. I love my time in nature and every time I go out I always have the time of my life. Nature is an important facet in my life and I love to get out and explore it. 

So until we meet again my friends I am Zachary AKA Galactic Bug Man and I will see you on my next adventure... See you on the trail!
