Huge vent
Yesterday was the welcome thing for the beginning of the school year, only from 15h to 16h30. Still managed to end up late. Nothing to do either, just sit there and listen to the explanation of how the year is gonna go. Still came back home EXHAUSTED
First day of school and I'm already an hour late
They also said that if we come late, the teachers aren't gonna let us in
So now I'm just frozen, sitting on my chair after finally managing to prepare, with no idea on if i waste the little energy i have going to school in the heat only to not be let in
But they also said they'd do that last year, and they never did. So maybe they're not doing it again and I'm just wasting time when they would let me in
I don't know and that's the problem
And even if i can, the mental image of everyone in class turning to stare at me and judge while i enter in the middle of the class, because i spent more than half of last year being hours late if not straight up missing "for no reason" is too much (because this country has dog shit psychology knowledge that has been studied to be around 50 years late, and they know nothing about invisible disabilities. Not like I'd ever even tell them. This class sucks in all minorities fronts)
But also I'm literally already thousands of euros in debt for this damn school and every class i miss is money wasted
I don't know what to do
#sent a message to admins to ask about the disability help i can get#think I'm gonna wait until afternoon class to go#and use that time to do all the other medical calls i need to do#hope we can talk about my help soon and i can explain the causes for why I'm late in the morning and why I'm struggling so much#and they'll actually listen#negative#HB rambles#i did brush my teeth! that's a huge win. and took a shower yesterday despite already taking one sunday#which thinking about it now might be the reason I'm already struggling so hard this morning.....#having to suddenly live with low spoons sucks. especially when you have huge memory issues#i keep acting like how i used to. just normal. and then being baffled when something as small as a shower wipes out all my energy for the#next day#i hate this. i hate this so much. i want to go back to being able to do multiple things a day and not ending up drained#i had 3 months of summer break. and only played animal crossing new leaf for like- 3 afternoons#never touched any other game. or my dsi. or my wii. or any of my books#played buckshot roulette for a few hours once#couldn't keep going. it's fun. but because it's a strategy game. it DRAINED my mental energy#i planned to fucking start sports and learn how to sew and crochet and maybe even skateboard#and instead i couldn't even draw a simple BASIC art piece without taking multiple days of only 3 hours sessions#an entire year of doctor appointments. and i still have NOTHING. no answer or help#my last hope is a mental exam in December....#if we don't find the answer then.....I'm probably gonna have to survive like this for the rest of my life#and i definitely can't get or keep a job in this state#vent#chronic fatigue#autistic burnout#probably#but it's not like i can get help for that. when the cure is YEARS of COMPLETE rest#no job or responsabilities whatsoever. yeah right. only way to get that would be to get sent to a retirement home or something#hate this

healing the heart- max verstappen
summary- reader is red bull’s admin, which is the beginning of a love story for reader and a certain driver
pairings- max verstappen x social media admin!reader
authors note- this one is kinda long🧍🏽‍♀️ and a lot of repeating words
Tumblr media
Y/N sat at her desk, scrolling through the latest photos of the Red Bull Racing team. As the social media admin for the team, it was her job to keep fans engaged and excited. Little did she know, her life was about to take an unexpected turn.
Max Verstappen, the talented Formula One racer, walked into her office. His eyes sparkled with mischief as he leaned against the doorframe, a playful grin on his face. Y/N couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
"Hey there," Max said, his voice smooth and inviting. "Just wanted to see how our fans are doing."
Y/N blushed, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she looked up at him. "They're loving your recent win, Max. The support for you is insane."
He chuckled, running a hand through his tousled hair. "Well, it's all thanks to the amazing team we have, including you."
Y/N's heart fluttered at his words. She had always admired Max's talent and dedication, but she never imagined he would notice her. The idea of dating a Formula One racer seemed like a distant dream.
As the days passed, Max and Y/N spent more time together. They would grab lunch at the track, discussing everything from racing strategies to their favorite movies. Max's charm and down-to-earth nature made Y/N feel special, like she was the only person in his world.
One evening, after a grueling race, Max took Y/N out for a surprise dinner. He led her to a cozy restaurant with soft lighting and a breathtaking view of the city. Y/N couldn't help but smile, her heart pounding with anticipation.
Over a delicious meal, Max reached across the table, his warm hand finding hers. "Y/N, I never thought I'd find someone like you. You bring so much joy to my life."
Y/N's cheeks flushed as she looked into his deep, intense eyes. "Max, you've made me believe in love again. I've never met anyone who understands me like you do."
They leaned closer, their lips meeting in a gentle, passionate kiss. In that moment, all the doubts and fears Y/N carried in her heart melted away. Max was not only healing her heart but also filling it with a love she had always longed for.
As they broke apart, Max smiled, his eyes filled with affection. "Y/N, you're the missing puzzle piece in my life. I want to be with you, always."
Y/N felt her heart soar, tears of happiness glistening in her eyes. "Max, I feel the same way. Let's see where this journey takes us."
———
One sunny afternoon, Y/N sat at her desk, scrolling through Red Bull Racing's social media accounts. She admired the team's recent victory and smirked, knowing that she played a small role in their success. Just as she was about to close the tab, a message notification popped up.
Curious, Y/N clicked on it. Her heart skipped a beat when she read the name of the sender—it was Max.
"Hey, Y/N," the message read. "I have a surprise for you. Meet me at the race track tomorrow. Can't wait to see your reaction."
Y/N's excitement bubbled within her. She couldn't help but wonder what Max had in store. The next day, she arrived at the race track, her heart pounding with anticipation. Max stood by the pit lane, a mischievous smile on his face.
"Hey, Max," Y/N greeted, unable to hide her excitement. "What's the surprise?"
Max winked playfully before leading her towards the garage. Y/N's eyes widened as she saw a bright red race car, glistening under the track lights. She couldn't believe her eyes—Max had arranged for her to experience a ride in a real Formula 1 car.
"Is this for real?" Y/N gasped, her voice filled with awe.
Max chuckled, his eyes sparkling. "Absolutely, Y/N. I wanted to give you a taste of what it feels like to be on the track."
Y/N's heart raced with a mixture of nervousness and exhilaration. She slipped into a racing suit, her hands trembling with excitement. As she buckled up inside the car, Max looked at her with a reassuring smile.
"You ready?" he asked.
Y/N could barely contain her enthusiasm. "More than ever, Max."
The engine roared to life, and the car sped off down the track. Y/N felt an adrenaline rush like she had never experienced before. The wind whipped through her hair, and the G-forces pressed her against the seat. She held on tight, laughing and screaming in pure euphoria.
As the ride came to an end, Y/N stepped out of the car, her legs trembling but her heart soaring. Max approached her, his eyes filled with joy.
"See, Y/N," he said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. And sometimes, those twists lead to the most extraordinary moments."
Y/N nodded, her heart pounding with newfound courage. In that moment, she realized that she had not only found love but also a partner who would never stop surprising her.
Little did Y/N know, the surprises were just beginning, and their love story was far from over.
———
Y/N's heart swelled with excitement as she stepped into the Red Bull garage. The familiar scent of rubber and gasoline filled the air, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging in this world that Max Verstappen inhabited.
Max stood there, leaning against the sleek Red Bull car, his eyes lighting up at the sight of Y/N. She couldn't help but notice a hint of nervousness in his gaze, his hands fidgeting with the hem of his race suit.
"Hey," Y/N greeted, her voice filled with anticipation. "What's up?"
Max smiled, but there was something off about it. His voice, normally confident and vibrant, seemed strained as he replied, "Hey, Y/N. Listen, we need to talk."
A flicker of worry danced across Y/N's face as she sensed the seriousness in his tone. "Sure, what's on your mind?"
Max took a deep breath, his eyes searching hers. "I... I heard something today. A rumor about you and Daniel."
Confusion washed over Y/N. Daniel? As in Daniel Ricciardo, Max's former teammate? She couldn't fathom what Max had heard, or how it could possibly involve her.
"What kind of rumor?" she asked, her heart sinking with each passing second.
Max hesitated, his voice barely above a whisper. "They said you and Daniel... you had something before we got together. Is it true?"
Y/N felt her whole world crumble at Max's words. How could he believe such a thing? Her mind raced as she tried to find the right words to explain, but the hurt in Max's eyes made her stumble.
"Max, I... I can't believe you would think that. Daniel and I are just friends, nothing more," she pleaded.
Max's expression softened, but doubt still flickered in his eyes. "I want to believe you, Y/N. But... it's hard. I've been hurt before."
Tears welled up in Y/N's eyes as she reached out to touch Max's arm gently. "I understand your fears, Max, but you have to trust me. There's nothing between Daniel and me. You're the only one in my heart."
Max's resolve seemed to waver for a moment before he sighed and nodded. "Okay. I want to believe you, Y/N. I really do."
Relief flooded Y/N's heart, but a small part of her remained wounded. She never expected such a misunderstanding to tarnish their connection, their deep bond.
As they stood there, their emotions still raw, Y/N knew that healing Max's heart would take time. But she was willing to fight for the love they had found and prove to him that their love story was far from over.
With determination in her eyes, Y/N whispered, "I'll do whatever it takes to show you that you're the only one for me, Max. Trust me."
Max's uncertainty slowly faded away as he gazed into Y/N's eyes, seeing the sincerity in her words. "I want to trust you, Y/N. Let's work through this together."
Hand in hand, they walked out of the garage, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. Love wasn't always simple, but the connection they shared was worth fighting for.
As Y/N and Max stood outside the bustling Red Bull garage, a gentle breeze swept through the air, carrying with it a feeling of newfound hope and clarity. Y/N looked into Max's eyes, her own filled with sincerity.
"Max, I promise you, there's nothing going on between me and Daniel," Y/N said, her voice soft yet resolute. "He's just a friend. The only person who holds my heart is standing right in front of me."
A flicker of relief crossed Max's face, his eyes searching Y/N's for any sign of dishonesty. Finding none, he let out a deep sigh and a small smile slowly formed on his lips.
"I believe you, Y/N," he replied, his voice filled with a mix of vulnerability and determination. "But there's something I need to tell you too."
Curiosity danced in Y/N's eyes as she waited for Max to continue. She knew that love required honesty and trust, no matter how difficult the conversation might be.
"When I heard that rumor about you and Daniel, I have to admit, jealousy consumed me," Max confessed, his voice tinged with remorse. "I didn't want to lose you, Y/N. You mean everything to me."
Touched by Max's honesty, Y/N reached out and gently placed her hand on his, intertwining their fingers. "Max, I'm sorry that I unknowingly caused you pain. My heart has always belonged to you. I'd never do anything to jeopardize what we have."
A sparkle of understanding glimmered in Max's eyes as he squeezed Y/N's hand. "I know that now, Y/N. We all have insecurities, but love is about overcoming them together."
In that moment, the weight of doubt and misunderstanding seemed to dissipate, replaced by a renewed sense of love and acceptance. Y/N and Max had weathered their first major test as a couple, emerging stronger than ever.
As they strolled hand in hand through the Red Bull paddock, laughter spilled from their lips, filling the air with lightness. Y/N's heart soared as they talked about their dreams, their future, and the adventures they yearned to embark on together.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, but the spark between Y/N and Max never waned. Their love continued to flourish, fueled by their shared passion for life and their unwavering support for each other.
Y/N's role as Red Bull Racing's social media admin became the backdrop to their love story, punctuated by exhilarating races, joyous celebrations, and heartfelt tributes. Their connection extended beyond the racetrack, as they found solace in the quiet moments spent cuddling on the couch, watching movies, and sharing their hopes and fears.
Together, Y/N and Max had crafted a love story that defied distance, challenges, and rumors. They had learned that true love doesn't mean the absence of difficulties, but rather the strength to face them together.
As they looked ahead, excitement surged through their veins. The future held unknown adventures, but armed with the love they shared, Y/N and Max were ready to face whatever lay ahead.

Hey! So once I requested a Levi x reader who is alergic to dust and stuff. I was wondering if you could do another one like that but instead one of the cadets didn't clean and because Levi was tired he didn't notice. But the reader is normally in the room or area and ended up passing out while working In the area. Like how would that go down. Thank you in advance. I hope your doing good, make sure you take care of yourself, eat and drink water. Also make sure to treat yourself some days and take breaks!
"How could you let this happen?" Levi's tone was sharp and frustrated. "I've told you all time and time again that you need to be on top of the cleaning here." The tapping of his boots echoed as he paced back and forth in front of the medical room. "Treat cleaning like you are taking out Titans. If you're slacking in your action someone could get hurt."
"Sorry, Captain." The cadet hung their head in shame. "I let you down."
"You did, you really did." He released a sigh and tried to control his anger. "Are you aware of what allergies are?"
They nodded. "Y-Yes, my friend can't have nuts."
"You manage to protect them, correct?"
"Y-Yes."
He needed to let out some range, so he slammed the side of his fist against the wall. "So why not this?"
"I-I."
He growled a moment before relaxing his body. "Go do your job, now."
They saluted him. "Y-yes c-captain!"
As the scout ran off with sweat pouring off them due to panic, Levi watched them very closely because he needed to let his rage wash off him before he saw you. He grunted a moment as his thoughts and heart calmed a moment.
It all had been a blur for him what'd happened. He wanted to see you and spend some time with you, you were his girlfriend and a wonderful member of staff for the team. Your role was to do admin and unfortunately, you had a bad reaction to dust, your body would just clamp up and you'd struggle to breathe a lot and your nose would block.
Usually, the cleaning was done often, but it seemed like one cadet had been slacking and the dust had piled up for weeks. Levi made his way to visit you and saw you in the office checking out files and having a bit of a coughing fit. He hurried to your aid and knew what to do to help you, but he had been a bit too late.
When you collapsed in his arms he thought his world had ended, thankfully you were breathing. He hurried you to Hange to help him keep you well and now you were recovering in a medical room. Levi once had thought there was little value to his life, but you had changed everything for him. He wanted to live so he could marry and grow old with you.
As soon he took in a deep breath he slipped into your room to see you sleeping soundly. He took a seat next to you and began playing with your hair. A lump formed in his throat as he held back the urge to cry. Compelled by his feelings, he leaned over and kissed your cheek.
A sweet little hum came from you. You opened your eyes and gazed at your teary-eyed boyfriend. "Levi?" You winced as you croaked a little. "Sorry, the coughing messed with my voice."
He caressed your cheek. "Don't ever be sorry, okay? None of this is your fault. You can't help it when you have a reaction. That room should have been cleaned and it wasn't."
"I hope you weren't too nasty to the cadet."
He lowered his head. "I said I was disappointed in them. I didn't shout too much."
You cupped the side of his face. "Good boy."
He smiled sweetly at you, his smiles were only for you. He nuzzled your hand a bit before kissing it. "I love you."
"I love you too. Come here and give me a kiss."
He leaned down and kissed you. "I guess I'll have to look after you for a while."
You hummed a laugh. "Yeah. It'll be lovely."

The two people I was scheduled on with last night are clueless. Like, I swear they share one braincell and neither one ever has it on em. They talk nonstop, about the dumbest shit, and take so long to do anything. The silver lining at least was it wasn't my close, one of them (who's a lazy POS who pretends they don't know how to do anything to avoid working, despite working here for years) was in charge. I didn't provide any sort of input, or tell either of them to do anything; cause I shouldn't have to keep playing babysitter to ppl who should know what they're doing tbfh. Just sat out the back peacefully pottering around and watching every job that should've been done hours before pile up.
End of the night comes and the place is an absolute state. The only jobs that were done were the scant few I finished, just to pass time. The coworker who's on close looks at me, like she expects me to offer to stay back and help. Lol nope, bye bitch. Maybe learn to take some initiative and do your fucking job. You've made your bed, now lie in it. Feels good being on the other end of the coworker who does nothing and gets to walk out scott free at the end of the night schtick for once :>

You couldn’t help but stare in awe. 
She looked beautiful  right before you. 
Her body was adorned with a beautiful corset set, which was black with beautiful red roses laced on the corset. The corset accentuating her new, beautiful cleavage. 
“How do I look? Don’t I look Gorgeous?” Grell said seductively, making her way to the bed where you sat. 
Your eyes were wide and your mouth gaped, you couldn’t help but stare at her breasts. 
“You look amazing!” You said in awe. Grell chuckled, taking her finger and closing your mouth shut. “Yes, you are right. They did an amazing job on these. It’s my dream come true!” 
You couldn’t help but smile at her, you were happy that she finally got her surgery. She had been talking about it all this time and now, she has them.  
“You look like a masterpiece.” You said breathlessly. 
“Then I give you permission to touch them.~” She winked, straddling your lap so her cleavage was now in eye view. 
“A-are you sure?”
“Of course, darling. These breasts were made to pleasured you~.” She giggled. 
You smiled, placing your hand on her soft flesh, giving them a light squeeze. “Ooo don’t be so shy sweetie. I want you to show me how much you love them~.” You blushed at her teasing, biting your lip, you gave them a squeeze. You heard her whimper, clearly her breasts were sensitive from the touch. You took your hands and slowly grazed your them over her corset, taking everything in. There was so much to look at and it was certainly a treat to the eyes. 
“You like what you see? They do look stunning in this corset, it certainly gives a…sensual look to them.” She giggled, her breasts bouncing as she laughed. 
“You are certainly right… They look so beautiful but I bet they look even more gorgeous without the corset.” 
Grell giggled, clearly intrigued by what you insinuating. “You want to see them? Then I can’t help but obliged~.” She skillfully took her hands, unlacing her corset by herself, you were impressed by her skills to do by herself. But she was a woman of many talents, so she quotes. 
Her breasts bounced erotically once she took off her corset, her breasts set beautifully on her chest. 
“Wow,,,,” You muttered, your eyes never taking off of her. 
“Enamored aren’t we darling?” Grell wrapped her arms around you, leaning closer so her breasts touched your chest. 
“Of course, they look perfect…” You reached your hands to her breasts, rubbing your hands over her sensitive nipples. 
Grell couldn’t help but moan, her nipples hardening just by the touch. You smiled, pinching her nipples playfully, trying to coax more erotic sounds from her pretty mouth. She began to whimper, her nipples now hard as diamonds. 
“Your whimpers sound so pretty.” You said, pinching and teasing her nipples. “I bet you could cum just by me touching them.” 
Grell began to pant, her skin flushed pink from clear arousal. You leaned forward, giving her nipple a seductive lick. You felt Grell tensed a bit, her whimpers becoming more apparent. 
You teased her nipple with her tongue some more, enjoying the sounds that she was making from pleasure. 
“Y-you’re teasing darling…” Grell said, her face becoming more red from arousal. 
You smiled against her plush chest, “And you enjoy it, don’t you?” Grell nodded frantically,her hips starting to gyrate in your lap. 
“You are so beautiful like this…” You muttered into her cleavage, taking your tongue  and licking and nipple her hardened nipple. She squealed from in top of you, her movements becoming more errotic as she grinded on your lap. You swirl your tongue around her nipple making sure to take your time to fully tease and pay attention to it. Then, you went to the other breast, licking and sucking on the other one. Grell was on cloud 9, her arousal growing with each lick and suck, her hips moving faster and harder on your lap. You begin to become more rough with her breasts, biting and sucking relentlessly on her flesh, making sure to give her some hickies. 
 Grell was on edge, she rolled her hips in desperate need as you gave her breasts many love bites. 
“I-i’m about~!” Grell moaned out, her body starting to tense even more from the arousal. 
“Are you going to cum all over my lap? Then don’t be so shy~.” You whispered in her ear. She moaned out pleasure, finally hitting her climax. You made sure to bite and suck at her sensitive nipples as she came, her hips rolling desperate need to heightened her climax.  You watched as Grell, came down from her high, her face red as a tomato and her face panting like a dog. 
You smiled, placing a hand on her cheek before kissing her on the lips, both of you happy about her new surgery.

I think something so wonderful about sunny is that she is such a little girl. The admin that plays sunny does such a good job of giving her a distinct personality but in a way that everyone who was a little girl can identify with. I’ve seen so many people talk about how they acted like sunny did as a kid or would remember specific memories with their dad that they made as a kid that sunny and tubbos dynamic brought back to the surface.
Sunny being a little firecracker and “spoiled” girl while also being incredibly shy and kindhearted and wanting to be friends with everyone. The way she has an idea of what people like (money, fame, respect) and trying to demand that because she wants to be someone important and respected like a leader or princess would but still giving “poor” members diamonds to become rich because she would never want to turn away a potential friend.
It’s genuinely so sweet and beautiful that so many people can relive personal parts of their childhood as a little girl/kid and remember the good times and awkward time and see how they’ve grown as a person just from a Minecraft egg. It’s so fun to watch sunny interact with tubbo and think of how often I would “help” my dad with projects or how I would demand wearing a dress over a skirt because I wanted to look fancy for dinner.
It really just reminds me how we are all people and all experience similar things growing up. No one had the same situation, or the same family or even the same country, but we all had the same emotions and feelings and we can all identify with them by watching a Minecraft egg as silly as it sounds

Missa and Chayanne Day 2
(Another long post of mine to show how good of a father Missa is.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Missa found chayanne playing dead and he was very scared.
Missa: ”Look at this! such a warrior, you can't die, you are very strong, of course! show them the trick I teach you (water drop) Yeah! Your other dad will be proud to see how much you have grown and the talent you have to play dead.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They found a corpse of an admin.
Missa: “An asshole died here!”
Chayanne started to bury it.
MIssa: "That's it, that's right son, it's very good what you are doing. Let's respect the people that are no longer with us, because it deserves a dignified burial."
Missa: “Now let's have 16 seconds of silence in his name. Good job son, I want you to know that I am very proud of you, you took that like an adult, you grew up so fast.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chayanne and Tilin meet for the first time. (pipipipi)
Quackity: "Who is this handsome?"
Missa: "This is my son Chayanne, he is 2 days old, well he hasn't been born yet. He looks a lot like his parents, he has my eyes, can you see?"
Chayanne and quackity's beef start, chay attacked Q but missclicked tilin.
After this, maximus arrived and they started talking like moms calling each other girlfriend. (i miss maximus)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chayanne "lost" his bicycle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
*Chayanne gives him a flower* (This flower can be seen 4 months later when missa shows his backpacks to philza <tres)
Missa: ”Ah! Thank you so much, I'm going to take this with me forever and I'm going to keep it just like the moms who put it between the books.”
Tumblr media
They went to quackity's house but it was destroyed so chay started building it again.
Missa: “You know what you are right, we will attack being good people. What white glove attack is stronger than helping him? Let him know that we will not be like them, I am very proud of you son"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They see chayannes bicycle inside the house.
Missa: “Oh no, they robbed us, I thought that they didn't, i thought that they didn't really do it, that they were just doing it (acting suspicious) just because.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Missa: “Do you want your bicycle?” *Chayanne says no* “I am very proud of you son, let's go…. Chayanne is simply the best son that everyone would like to have.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Missclick)
Missa" “Nononono, chayanne, it's ok don't worry, don’t worry I am here, i am here, everything will be ok. After doing good, bad things always happen to the good people.”
Missa: “Are you ok?... You are quite a warrior, you are a badass!”
Missa: “Chayanne you should see, well, no, I wouldn't ever want you to go on Twitter. But you should see the nice things they say about you, people say that they can't believe they are jealous of an egg”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Every time they build small things like this I feel nostalgic when it appeared in other povs, like the dock were they went fishing and they had that talk about fears pipipipipi)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They were looking for a dog but when they found one missa killed it by accident, they found another one but climbing the wall it drowned.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Song time: Mägo de Oz - Hoy toca ser feliz (He sang this one the first day)
"And you'll see that you can fly,
And you can get everything
Because you are going to smile today,
Is your turn to be happy
If the tears blind your sight and your heart,
Put water in a glass, spit the fear out
Never give up, believe in yourself,
Even if it hurts the bruises will heal"
And they sleep.

Reunions
Charlie x Reader x Bumblebee
For @deafeningsharkslimeempath
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Working for GI Joe as a part of the admin team has its perks. You get to go home at the end of each day back to your loving wife in your cozy suburban home. The hours are the same and you can always count on being back in Charlie’s arms before sunset.
Today you find yourself called into General Hawk’s office. The older gentleman of an officer throws down a file on the desk in front of you.
“You know about the deal we have with the autobots, right?” He says with a cigar in his mouth.
“The bodyguard program, sir?”
“The very one. We’ve selected you to watch over an operative of theirs.” He clicks a button on his desk, the wall behind opens up, exposing a giant military hanger where the Autobots were currently resting.
“This is above my pay grade, sir” you look around in awe.
“Then we’ll give you a raise, soldier” Hawk retorts. “The autobot assigned to you is code named Bumblebee.”
Bumblebee. The name rang a bell. Charlie told you all about her time in high school when she met a robot who disguised itself as a VW Beetle. You couldn’t help but smile.
Hawk guides you up to the titular Autobot, currently doing a series of air punches.
“Bee,” Hawk motions to you, “this is Sgt. (L/N), he’ll be your bodyguard. You’re to stay with him and his family.”
“Hey…there…” Bee’s radio searches to formulate his words. “You can be my wingman, anytime”
“Bee.” You smile as you approach him, “you do sound like a bumblebee”
Bee looks to you in confusion. A little bumble sound escapes his mouth.
“Charlie told me all about you”
Bee immediately jumps in excitement.
“Bumblebee” Charlie’s voice comes through the radio.
“We got a lot to talk about on the way to my place” you smile.
Bee quickly transforms back into the VW Beetle. “Come on…let’s…go already!”
You spent the whole drive home telling Bee all about your life with Charlie. How you met her when she was touring with the Olympic diving team on an USO tour. Your first date with her. Bee couldn’t help but giggle at that part. Your home, her job with the diving team’s administration now that she’s retired. Bee felt so at ease, knowing that his best friend was doing so well.
Charlie was painting in the living room, her mind allowed to flow freely as the Kinks plays over her headphones.
A little feisty kick from her growing belly made her giggle, “I know, Daddy should be home soon. Not even born yet and you’re a daddy’s girl. Well so is Momma”
She hears the sound of a horn honking as you pull up in a yellow VW Beetle. Charlie couldn’t help but get a little emotional. The sight of you driving up in a Bug, especially one that looked exactly like her old friend.
“Sweet new car” Charlie giggles seeing the VW Beetle.
“Makes for a good family car” you retort, “he’ll keep you and our little girl safe”
“He?”
Bee immediately transformed before Charlie’s eyes. Tears began flowing down Charlie’s face.
“Bee!!” She ran to the tall robot. Bee leaned down and gently scooped up his old friend. “You look great! Look at you”
“He’s looking at you, kid” Bee gently ran a finger over Charlie’s pregnant belly.
Charlie giggles, “it’s a girl. Y/N and I are so excited. This is great! Little Hailee will get to know her Uncle Bee”
“Uncle?” Bee responded thru the radio. The yellow Autobot looks to you, “thanks…wingman”
“Welcome home, Bee” you respond.

Do you know this (noncanon) ADHD character?
Tumblr media
Evidence under the cut!
This is my own submission with the help of some Discord friends <3
First friend's evidence:
tbh adhd zagreus is largely vibes to me but for more specific evidence:
inability to work a desk job properly no matter how much he tries. ability to run marathons thru the underworld 24/7. one is not an interest of his and the other is a thing he got obsessed with in 0.5 seconds. man struggles with directing his attention
the fact that he basically never wants to stay still ever, even the narrator gets on his case about this
additionally to above: iirc there's a line where he mentions he won't be able to get started again if he sits down, when you try to interact with chairs in the house, which. mood. gotta keep momentum going or the task doesn't get done.
rly thoughtful to his loved ones but still forgets to tell them his whereabouts or plans (thanatos)
no concept of time
nonexistent sleep schedule
the entire admin chamber flashback, honestly, just look at that
there's more bullet points probably i just don't have specific moments in mind to back em up
Second friend's evidence:
The man exists for short term dopamine hits - He gets demonstrable rewards and actionable improvements in his abilities with the low low cast of some physical pain after maybe twenty minutes of running around blowing things up, it's like the perfect loop for any adhd brain
Also as a pinnacle of adhd zag - It's only with actual long term investment that he gets better at playing the lyre, which means that most players won't go for it unless they're actively trying to get the prophecy done.

So they had a two week long grueling event that was designed specifically to torment and torture the residents, with the only hope they're given is that they can save at least SOME of their eggs if they play along. Then after slaughtering friends and family for half a month, fearing that if their team loses all the children could die, they finally get to see them again but alas are tormented by only being allowed to take one home. Running for their lives from a nuke, having to leave behind their kids unknowing if they survived or when they'll see them again. Mutiple parents choosing to stay behind because they can't bear losing them again.
Great, climactic, a little dreary but not a completely hopeless ending, leads to more intrigue in the story.
But then you learn the island isn't completely nuked, making Max's sacrifice feel worthless. The eggs are just let go? From the Eye who had them for over two months? For no real reason we know yet? Cucurucho saves the eggs basically all by himself, no parents get to help their children after fighting for them tirelessly for days. The eggs are brought home with little resistance (sorry ElQuackity) despite how the Eye could caputure them from their safe homes without leaving any trace. Now their gonna give back the eggs, and new ones, after everyone's taking a break from overexerting themselves in the event. Over half of the parents aren't even there to see their eggs.
It's just such a disappointing end. They had the perfect climactic place to give the eggs back, decided to instead build angst, then retconned it a few days later. It just feels like the admins wanted to do more with the purgatory story but gave up when they got backlash for the ending.
I wanna believe in the admins storytelling but they really dropped the ball on this one :/
(Of course this is my personal opinion, please don't take it like I hate the admins or think they're doing a bad job. I was just dissatisfied with the story rn)

Introduction 🩸🔪
Tumblr media
Ordinary milkman by day, cold-hearted killer at night.🔪
As you all can tell, this is an ask/RP blog for Serial Killer Francis. Feel free to ask SK Francis anything as long as it doesn’t break any of the guidelines for this blog. You can also ask the mod questions about headcanons and more lore about the SK Francis AU.
Remember, this Francis is part of an AU. He’s not gonna be like how regular Francis is usually depicted. Try not to take this seriously and have fun.
Obviously, this version of Francis is NOT a good person AT ALL. He’s very unassuming on the outside but once he’s free to kill, he’s cold hearted, cruel, violent, manipulative, sadistic, remorseless and mentally insane misantrope. So please expect him to say the most morbid crap possible.
This Francis is very quiet and secretive so he won’t reveal a lot about himself to you.
Keep in mind that the mod is over 20 years old so it’s best to keep everything SFW but mentions of gore, violence and disturbing topics are fine.
Francis has a life outside of this blog such as his milkman job and murdering people so he won’t have all the time to respond to your questions. The same goes with the mod, who also has a life outside of tumblr so try to be patient and don’t spam.
For roleplay purposes, I would love to play with horror, angst, fluff, romance (especially dark romance) and gore. OC and canon character interactions are allowed, including Nacha.
What I wouldn’t allow are underaged roleplays (yuck), rape, any form of bigotry (racism, homophobia, transphobia,etc), pedophilia, beastiality and necrophilia. If I see any asks related to those, they’ll be deleted and YOU WILL BE BLOCKED.
Hate asks will also be blocked.
Anons will be treated platonically (I say this loosely because Francis hates everyone). When it comes to romance roleplays however, let’s just say Francis tends to get… obsessive.
Francis’s whole lore will be explained here.
All the sketches I’ll make about the AU will be here.
I’m Onyx, the admin of this blog and the original creator of the serial killer Francis AU. I won’t only be using this blog as an ask/RP blog for SK Francis, I will also be uploading original content such as headcanons and concept art for my AU if I have the time. I know this AU doesn’t appeal to everyone but I’m just telling a story here and I love writing for SK Francis. If you don’t like it, fine. Just don’t send any hate asks. If you like it, great.
Status: ACTIVE
Ask Box: ALWAYS OPEN

Rinx and cute human auction host with impeccable sense of humour 🗣️ hear me out while I'm drunk again
just ✨imagine✨ – some closed auction with very specific-and-unique stuff, aimed on some narrow monster audience. Why human is a host here? She kinda... wanted a job not in McDonald's, but luck wasn't on her side – at the end, it is what it is. She started to make small talks with visitors and crack jokes around only to escape her fate as an auction lot. To her big surprise and happiness, visitors found feigned confidence believable, as well her humour sharp and dark enough for their twisted tastes, but not too belittling or offensive to hear from a mere human.
More so, she grew popular in this small community. Now she's cheeky and brave enough to talk back to some especially rude visitors– It's still a joke to everyone tho. Laughing stock of the day usually gets too embarrassed to come on her twice and audience can be ruthless.
But huh??? At some totally normal day here's more people than usual??? Regulars looking especially nervous for some reason???? And her boss is suddenly disappears after some lameass short unreadable message about "special guest"?????
Huh. Strange. Well, whatever, business is business-
Guess who got in the playful sarcastic bullshittery with some giant broccoli head first and now sweating bullets cuz that dude is just... Buys everything? Every-single-fucking-lot???? His bets are so high for a quite literal trash sometimes, is he insane???? She knows who is it from the first bet honestly, but she keeps repeating for her own sanity that it's some obsessive cosplayer.
And at the end of the auction he refuses to leave and makes a ridiculously small bet on "the charming host".
She jokes herself the way out only because she was so – well, she tells to bring and show her some fucking lost artifact from a rumour that was popular million years ago if he wants to buy even a minute of her time. "No more, no less," she says and leaves, pretty sure that she won this.
Even if her knees are shaking behind the curtains after a realisation it was fucking Greed Icon, she still believes that she can outplay him.
***
She's in pure panic and loss of words because she ran out of options and bets are getting insanely high. She thought he was playing and that he will get bored after getting a handjob (it was just a pin at first, she swears!!!), but on their last meeting he told her to get ready for a wedding. G666gling "WHTAT SHOUDLG I AKS FOR PKEASE HELP BITCH HAS EVVRHYTHIN" isn't helping at all.
Rinx loves how well-educated about valuable things she is, how good she's in jerking him off– and it's funny to see how she's sweating as she tries to decline his gifts and fails miserably. Truly, this game was fun while it lasted, but now? Now he wants a Queen.
That's all for today- hope exams wasn't going hard on u and ur amazing brain wrinkles my dear fella Pinnie we can get through 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
[Okay but the best part of this is "G666gle". I fucking love that.]
Oh it wouldn't be the first time Rinx gets excited and tries to take literally everything home, that's why the most well-known auctions around Hell are made with lots of care and many prepared speeches as to why the hosts, staff and other personalities present cannot be given/traded/bought.
Does this stop Rinx? No, not really.
You have his curiosity the same way Admin holds his curiosity. Humans are easy to take, easy to claim, easy to keep. To see you play such a dangerous game yet always come out on top makes you even more valuable in the demonlord's (lack of) eyes.
You don't have the option of declining anything Rinx gives you, be it a box of chocolates, roses, the most expensive outfits you could think of, or a ring that he'll slide into your finger with a crushing grip of your wrist.

Antarcticans
I may not have used my sketchbook as much as I thought I would, with regard to locations, but I did fill a few pages with one of my favourite pastimes back in The World: people sketching.
My biggest anxiety about going to McMurdo was the human factor.  Whether it was school or work, a recurring motif in my life is that I do not do well in a big box full of Americans, and that is, almost literally, exactly what McMurdo is.  Sure, the continent wants to kill you, and every way of getting to and around it comes with risk of serious accident, but the only thing I was actually afraid of was finding myself in a stressful social situation and not having any recourse to escape.  I know how to build a snow cave.  I don't know how to deflect the ire of people who've taken a set against me – and, for whatever reason, I tend to rub people in the States the wrong way.  When I was shortlisted for the placement, the person handling the admin briefed me about the process and asked me if I had any further questions, and I raised this concern.  She responded that, speaking purely from her own experience, she had never felt more comfortable being herself than when she was at McMurdo.  Not knowing who 'herself' was, I took this with a grain of salt, but it was an encouraging answer nonetheless.
It turned out that the best thing about McMurdo was, in fact, those very people I had been afraid of.  Everyone I met was absolutely splendid.  In my first days there, my supervisor joked that if you shake the world, all the best people end up at the bottom; the remainder of my time there proved how right she was.  One of the main things that attracted me to the Terra Nova story, and has kept me committed to it for so long, was how wonderful the people were – far outside what I had come to expect from humanity.  Warm, genuine, accepting of and attentive to each other, a wide range of personalities and dispositions that nevertheless got on and functioned together as a society, in the face of environmental and emotional extremes ... I needed to know such people were possible, and clung to them as an ideal.  It was a wonderful surprise to discover that they would not be out of place amongst their modern counterparts.
Is it because they're scientists, as someone theorised? But they're not – most of the people at McMurdo are support staff, working in the kitchen or waste disposal or shuttle fleet; helping the science happen, yes, but that's not necessarily why they're there, personally.  Is it because a harsh environment triggers something in the human psyche to support each other, rather than compete?  Maybe, but these people seem like they'd be solid wherever they are, and were like that before going South.  
I suspect there is an element of self-selection – something about the sort of person who would want to go to Antarctica correlates with a certain mindset, one that gels extremely well with others who share it, however different they may be in other respects.  There is no denying that everyone there is a bit odd.  They tend to be types that exist on the fringes back in The World and, like me, may struggle to conform to its values.  A few years ago, I came across this adage from an Antarctic veteran: "You go the first time for the adventure.  You go the second time to relive the first time.  You go the third time because you don't belong anywhere else."  Many of them live in remote places, or travel, or do itinerant work when not on the Ice.  There is a bit of a running gag in Where'd You Go, Bernadette? that everyone doing a mundane job in Antarctica is a high achiever in something amazing, who left it all behind – and that's not exactly untrue.  Perhaps what unites Antarcticans is an awareness of what really matters, when you get right down to it: they've played the game enough to see through it, and are done with it.  "Glory? He knew it for a bubble: he had proved himself to himself. He was not worrying about glory. Power? He had power." So Cherry wrote about Wilson in 1948, but many modern Antarcticans might sympathise.  When you come out the other side of self-aggrandisement and jockeying for status, and are happy just to be yourself and let others be themselves, you get a happy, harmonious society.  Or so it would seem.
At midnight on my last day there, I had a deep conversation with someone I'd only met in passing before, but who was totally down to have a long talk with a random stranger on a footbridge in the middle of the night. I presented her my hypothesis that no one at McMurdo was popular in high school.  No, she replied; there may be a handful who were popular in high school ... but they're not popular at McMurdo.  Maybe the secret is in there somewhere.
Anyway, I didn't do nearly as much people sketching as I'd have liked, given that the base was populated entirely by Characters, but these are the pages I did manage to get. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two pages of random McMurdites, likely in the Galley:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These last four are from a meeting where team leaders were presenting their projects to some high muckymucks visiting from the NSF. I was only there because my project was allotted a space in the presentation, but the main focus was the massive Thwaites Glacier project, a collaboration between the US Antarctic Program and the British Antarctic Survey to study one of the most unstable regions in Antarctica.  They quite rightly took up the whole meeting time, and the privilege of being there meant I learned a lot about the project.  My longstanding habit is to draw during meetings, so I captured some of them in my sketchbook while absorbing the science into my head.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Notable characters in my sketches include: - David Vaughan, heading up the British contingent of the Thwaites team, was quite an engaging and affable guy but had a concentration scowl that puts mine in the shade. I was shocked when I heard he died of cancer earlier this year (2023) – a great loss to BAS, glaciology, and Antarctic science generally. - When Erin Pettit isn't studying glaciers with an eye to climate change, she's taking girls on wilderness adventures to foster an interest in science and art, as well as self-confidence. - Britney Schmidt, Queen of Icefin, not only earned my profound respect but has a whole episode of PBS's Terra dedicated to her work developing sub-ice autonomous robots with the aim of exploring Europa. (Seriously, so cool.)
I could go on about Antarctic people, but there's nothing so good as showing you, and luckily I can do just that. PBS sent a small team down in 2018 to do a YouTube series, and one of their episodes is all about the cool people who call McMurdo home.  It might make my point better than all my whittering, and is certainly more fun. If you'd like to see more, Werner Herzog's film Encounters at the End of the World is much of the same, but more so.  It had been recommended to me several times, but I hadn't managed to get my hands on it until a week before I left, when it turned out a Cambridge friend had a copy and lent it to me.  'I don't know how true it is,' he said, 'but I want it to be.'  When I got back, I was happy to confirm to him that it was, indeed, exactly like that.  And I miss it so much.

Can I request a Levi x reader where the reader is know to be very stoic and cold to everyone. But she really is touch starved and only shows him in private her clingy side.
Tumblr media
True self with you.
Levi x fem!reader
Canon AU, fluff, romance, being a couple, stoic reader that's really shy, cuddly reader.
In public and while working you are rather cold and stoic, but it's because you're shy and you don't think people will accept you. As soon as you get home to Levi, you are a cuddly little bunny for him and you show just how soft you are.

"Please?"
You stared at the cadet. "No. Rules state-."
"I don't care! Can't you just this one time?"
"No."
They huffed. "You are so cold! No wonder no one likes you!"
You realised a long sigh. "I have to go with scout policy set out by Commander Erwin Smith. If you want to complain then I can file a report to the Commander, otherwise, there is nothing else that can be done."
"I always knew you were a cold and heartless bitch."
You stood up from your chair. "I will not tolerate such language in my office, please leave now."
"I'm not leaving until I get what I want!"
You walked over to your office door and opened it. "Leave."
"NO! You are not a commanding officer! You just do admin and paperwork! You're nothing."
You stared at them. "Then why are you complaining to me if I am nothing? I fail to see the logic in your reasoning. Why fight with someone who cannot provide you with what you need. Also, due to the way you have been speaking to me, I am less likely to help you. Do you really think throwing abuse would get you anywhere?"
"Tch, oi?" Levi stepped into your doorway. "What's going on?"
You stared at the scout. "Would you like to forward your complaint to Captain Levi?"
"Yes!" They huffed. "I need to speak to you and not this terrible person."
You hummed. "You may have my office unless you are taking them to yours."
Levi studied the scout. "I'll take your office and I'll speak to you after."
"Sure."
It was fairly normal for people to get upset with you. You had tried to get along with people, but you were rather shy and you assumed that people would not like you. There was also this constant fear that you'd fail at your job. You wanted to do your job well, so you followed the rules and the teachings.
Today, you were feeling rather defeated by your job. You were simply doing your job and trying hard, but it was never good enough for some people. It wasn't always like this, but the bad days were terrible. There was no in between.
"Bunny?"
You looked up. "Grumpy."
Levi closed his office door and approached you as you sat on the sofa. "I'm sorry they were a shithead."
"It's okay. I'm used to it."
"You shouldn't be." As soon as he sat next to you, you hugged his side. "People shouldn't treat you this way, okay?"
You slipped your legs over his thigh. "Mm."
Levi wrapped his arms around you and hugged you. "You need extra cuddles today?"
"Yes."
He shifted on the sofa, lay across it and held you against him. "You know very well you can get all the cuddles you want." He squeezed you. "I love them and they heal me."
You nuzzled the crook of his neck. "I love you, Levi."
"I love you too." He played with your hair and rubbed your back. "You know, I like that you're cold with others because I get to see his adorable cute side of you. It's all for me."
You kissed Levi's neck. "I just feel like I can be myself with you. You make me feel safe to be me."
"Me too."
