#her ears are literally 90% of her height

Poor little Pippa not getting any attention from Maggie.

Simu!Ken thought— he beaches off for you after one of the Kens or Barbies makes a mean comment about you. And ofc he wins

a/n: HAHAAAAA anon, your mind!! 😭🤌🏻 I decided to make this with both (mean) Ken and Barbie, and did my own lil 'thing' here ;))) thanks, sweetie!! (open to be read as Ryan!Ken, as usual!)

warnings: fluff! (+ teaching meanies a lesson & strong language!)

» fancy reading something new? check out my full m.list!

It's one thing to genuinely get on Ken's bad side, but it's another if the rest of the Barbieland follow suit. 

Mean Barbie and Ken simultaneously arrived months after your Ken’s departure to find you, becoming the talk of the town in an instant. Though, 90% of the time, it was all for the wrong reasons. 

Mean Barbie was demeaning, having a keen interest in insulting others for their interests and even their appearances. Mean Ken was no better, laughing in the Kens' face and Alan for liking anything that was, in his words, 'too girlish'. 

Basically, they weren’t the best people to vibe with. 

While both Weird Barbie and President Barbie tried their best to be civil with the two, the former was more vocal about her distaste, always giving them the stink eye as though she knew their words only went in one ear and out the other. President Barbie was more subtle, though she made sure to drop reminders about their actions here and there.

So when the mean match overheard the cheers and excitement over the infamous Ken coming back for a visit with his sweetheart, oh, they were not having it. 

But soon, they were going to learn that their actions would, in fact, have consequences.

'Cause as the human saying goes; the more you fuck around, the more you find out.

President Barbie was there to greet you and Ken at the entrance, giving you a motherly hug before giving you a heads up and whispering in your ear about the notorious duo.

Though their behaviour wasn't nearly as bad as what you're used to in the real world, it didn't make them any less unpleasant to be around. Kudos to the Barbies and Kens (+ Midge & Allan!) for trying their best not to leave you alone with the two of them, though!

And it only took your Ken two days to do everyone a favour. 

"Hoo, boy, here we go." Mean Ken scoffed at the sight of your Ken excitedly telling you about the surfboard he oftentimes used back when his whole purpose was to be Ken, "That was the cool guy around here?" 

"Right? And I just don't see what's so special about her." His girl sneered.

"Tell me about it. Should've stayed where she came from like she was supposed to." 

The rest of the Barbies and Kens froze up. They gave Pompadour Ken a quick glance, who was now uncharacteristically quiet.

Oh no. 

Who were they to insult you for being you?  

You've also noticed the two literally talking crap about you, though you were more concerned about Ken.

"Ken," You gently stroked his face, hoping it'll ease the sudden tension in his jaw, "Hey, don't listen to them." 

"Hey, pal!" Mean Ken called out to him, "Wanna show us your lil' beach moves? Maybe tell us what's so special about your girl?" 

Ken didn't speak up. He has millions of reasons why you were extremely special to him, but he learnt from you that losing his cool would be a total win for his opposition. 

But the mean twins didn't take being ignored too kindly.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" He barked, pushing your Ken. He nearly lost his balance, almost hitting you with the surfboard he was holding. 

It wasn't long before Ken finally lost his cool, swinging the surfboard square in Mean Ken's face. He flew away at an immense height and questionable physics, falling on his back just by the sea. 

Some laughed, others cheered. By now, everyone was watching, even Mermaid Barbie and Ken showed up after hearing about a possible showdown on the Malibu Beach. They shook their heads the way disapproving parents would before waving at you, happy to see a nicer face in town.

"Oh my gosh, Ken!" Mean Barbie squawked, running to her man and shaking his unconscious body a little too aggressively, "What did you do?!" 

"I just gave him what he deserved." Your Ken shrugged, running his fingers through his hair that had messed up when he lost his cool.

"You didn't have to like, punch him!" 

"It was gonna happen eventually," Alan murmured to himself, only to earn sounds and nods of approval from the rest of the Kens and Barbies. Even if Pompadour Ken wasn't the one putting them in their place, someone would've. 

Sure, maybe a dance-off would've been sufficient.

Buuut, then again, it was probably the real-world air that he's been breathing in for so long, so it was only a matter of time before his patience snapped, and it did when they started running their mouths about you.

After all, Mean Ken preferred 'manlier' efforts.

"You're in huge trouble, weirdo!" She hissed, believing your Ken's (necessary) violence could easily banish you two from Barbieland. 

"And what're you gonna do about it?" It was your turn to challenge her, standing closer to her with your arms crossed. You weren't just going to stand there and let her spit venom at your boyfriend, much less at your new friends. 

Just a reminder that your hands were rated E for everyone.

"I'll… I'll…! I'll tell Psycho Barbie!" 

"That won't be necessary." Everyone's heads turned to the side to see Weird Barbie approaching, boots off as she walked on the sandy floor with a delighted smirk on her face, "And that's Weird Barbie to you, missy."

She turned to Pompadour Ken, patting him on the shoulder with a grin, "Good job, kid. Didn't think you had it in you but it's probably that wild human air," She then turned to you with a wink, "You got quite the keeper." 

Ken mirrored her proud smile.

"A little help, doc?" She nodded at Doctor Barbie, who immediately rushed to her side. Weird Barbie pointed behind her with her thumb, "Give that guy a quick scan before the President gets here, will ya?" 

Weird Barbie was no doubt beyond excited to report the two, and with tons of eyes as witnesses. 

"Hey," Your Ken placed his hand on the small of your back, "I'm sorry about that. You wanna head home or…?" 

Ken was less than pleased by the thought of the day being ruined but he'd understand if it had because of the mere presence of the two. Some may call him dramatic, but to you, he was just making sure of your comfort. 

"No, no," You shook your head, resting your head on his chest, "I'm okay." 

The groans and whines of Mean Ken and Barbie respectively as President Barbie berated their actions were just bonuses to the feeling of you against him. Softening him up from what had happened prior like kneading dough ever so gently.

"I recall a certain someone promising to play his guitar around a campfire for me?" You teased him, hoping to lift his spirits.

"I did, didn't I?" He hummed, grabbing his guitar bag that lay on the beach chair before wrapping his other arm around you, "C'mon, I know the perfect place."

He brought you to the spot furthest from the 'busy zone', though that didn't stop his friends from dropping stuff like a blanket, sausages and marshmallows to roast as a thank you for his service. 

All in all, the night ended on a much higher note, with your boyfriend serenading you with romantic and cheesy songs he learnt back in the real world and stuffing yourselves with some good campfire food.

trivia:

— along with coups, she's the member who has the longest training period in seventeen. she started training at sm and was supposed to debut with f(x) but didn't due to her age, then, she traded to pledis right after, still in 2009.

— she was actually supposed to debut in a girl group that still didn't have any plans to happen, but, pledis saw a lot of potential in her and decided to put her on Seventeen TV for her to get along with the audience and the members. she quickly got accepted and became a sweetheart to everyone who met her.

— she's the 4th oldest member in the group, she's the oldest 1996 liner and one of the aces of the group. anything you put her to do she will ace it perfectly without any obstacles.

— nari's number one nickname, used by almost everyone who knows her, is nabi. since she loves to make friends and is easily outgoing, the members started calling her that, which quickly spread around and now everyone calls her that.

— she was literally everywhere in 2018/19 due to a famous fancam of her dancing to exo's love shot during an award show. her talent and visuals stood out to a lot of people, and her fanbase triplicated due to it. she gained the nation's passion nickname due to this masterpiece.

— nari is close to all of the boys, especially the younger ones whom she loves to spoil and give attention to. she tends a lot to seungcheol too, since she knows how hard he works and how little he cares for himself. she's known to be seventeen's mom along with jeonghan, in which fans make jokes about them fighting over the title.

— nari's biggest fear nowadays is the day seungcheol and jeonghan enlist for the army. she's really not prepared for this, and she's been dreading the subject ever since the year started. fans make sure to try and not mention it too much because they know she goes through social media quite a lot.

— during their trainee days, nari used to go out of her way of school just to drop the younger ones at their own school, most of the times she would arrive late for her own classes, but she says it was worth it.

— she's openly pansexual, which made her receive a lot of backlash in which was quickly turned down due to a lot of people standing up for her. nari is really grateful for them and never forgets to thank them whenever she has to give a speech or something.

— she's also known to be hybe's groups mom. she loves to say that she adopted enhypen, newjeans, lesserafim and txt. she's also really close to fromis_9 members and says that jiheon is her adopted baby.

— even though she's not a part of the performance team, nari practically begged to go to i-land with her members. she was so happy that she was allowed to go that you could see it just by her face. nari says that, on that day, she knew that ni-ki, jungwon and sunoo were going to be a part of her babies.

— nari's also an actress, she has been in some k-dramas and movies. her members love to tease her because of it and whenever one of her new dramas gets released, get prepared for a weverse thunderstorm of posts teasing her.

— she has a dog, who lived in the apartment she used to share with wonwoo and mingyu. now, she moved out to her own apartment in yongsam-gu and also adopted a cat.

— her number one hobby is cheating on games with jeonghan.

— she's currently in a relationship with a male idol, people now that she's taken but they don't know who it is because of her members exposure of her life that she doesn't really care.

(ignore this if requests are closed)

noah really strikes me as a boob guy and the type to leave marks all over them whenever allowed 👀

could i request a drabble/headcanon/thoughts for him and reader gettin real dirty and he just worships her chest?

Yeah right from the start I dont know what it is i Looked at him and went "Yup boob guy". There's just a look and Idk how to explain it BUT yES!

Okay so I will test the waters to see how good my smut can get!

my first initial thought is that he 100000% motorboats you. Any time and chance he gets. Whenever you're home and say you're doing something he always comes up behind you and hugs you but those hands always make their way up your shirt to cup your boobs.

He'll even just say it randomly "Hey babe."

"Yea?"

"your tits are literally perfect"

If you are insecure of them in any way, (like i am) HE WILL WORSHIP THEM!!! He'll sit in front of the mirror with you, while you're sat on his dick and whisper in your ear

"Focus baby. Look at them" he massage them and let them fall and make them jiggle "You see that? Fuck, that's sexy as hell. Say it baby" if you don't he wont move and he'll stop touching you

"Tell me who has sexy tits? Who has a beautiful ass body?"

"M-me"

"Good girl"

"Don't you feel how hard I get when I look at them, touch them, kiss them?"

If your in the bathroom and you're brushing your teeth or something and he knows you have no bra on he will come and lift your shirt up and look at them in the mirror. you'll complain but he knows you like it. He'll massage and juggle them around while he kisses your shoulder and neck. Just massaging them gets him hard honestly. He'll start grinding on your ass, 90% of the time's he'll bend you over the sink and fuck you. He likes to watch your reflection of how your face changes with pleasure, the way your boobs are pressed on the sink or just bounce with each thrust.

When you ride him???? He loves watching them bounce or having his hands all over them. He will switch positions to a lotus position so he could bite, suck, kiss and lick them while you keep riding him. Some of his favorite pictures of you are you in tops or dresses that shape your bust perfectly. He also likes missionary to see them shake and jiggle every time he thrusts into you and you're aware of it too!

So while he fucks you, you make sure to squeeze and grope them and it drives him crazy!

Something he loves about his height is he gets to see them bounce from his POV whenever you're walking together.

He likes to sleep on me, like to kiss them, suck on the nipples, hold them and even fuck them. Yes, he will fuck your boobs.

"Squeeze them more baby" he likes how you look up at him while his dick is between them and you stick your tongue out "Fuck baby, gonna cum all over these perfect tits"

Doesn't matter the size, he loves and worships them

Soft Aria is done!! (…shittily, bc I’m too lazy to edit highlights rn. This is also somewhat simplified)

“I can promise you my love, it’s gonna be okay…”

(calls literally almost everyone “my love” in a platonic way)

random facts

~ She’s the youngest of all the different versions; she’s 15

~ anxiety anxiety anxiety anxiETY ANXIETY ANX

~ half demon half angel thing. She got the more angelic side.

~ unlike canon Aria, her hair is dyed. Normal Aria’s is naturally purple on the ends. Soft Aria’s was dyed by her older brother, Kalem.

~ Aria’s blindfold is due to a punishment. Her parents were… Not the best, to put it simply, so she went blind because of a gun wound. It’s still unknown how she’s alive.

~ Half deaf without the blindfold; 90% deaf with it since it covers her ears

~ If she wasn’t blind, her eyes would actually be a light pink sorta colour instead of red

~ Ironically, she’s afraid of heights. It takes her about 30 minutes on average to gather the courage to jump down to earth from Heaven

~ GUARDIAN ANGEL!!!! she’s technically Soft Pico’s guardian angel but she INSISTS on protecting Benjamin as well (this is genuinely the only pico x bf thing I ship I love soft bf x soft pico fodnfksmd)

~ her wings are soft. Very, very soft. Blankets. She has repeatedly used them to calm down Benjamin if Pico’s not around to help during one of his breakdowns

~ she’s working out the human legal system so she can figure out how to sue Benjamin’s parents for abuse

~ if you can’t tell already, she VERY MUCH SO pities Benjamin he needs hugs and she is there when Pico isn’t

~ …anyway. I’ll shut up now

wait no I won’t

I haven't watched the 1998 TV version of Wuthering Heights in nine years or more, certainly not since my mid teens, and all I can say is:

PRE-DARCY MATTHEW MACFAYDEN HARETON???

Orla Brady is a really mesmerizing, quietly hypnotic Cathy. She's a bit too subtle for my tastes since I'm used to more of a screaming spitfire portrayal, but it does make her cruelty a lot sharper and more premeditated.

Oh my God, these are some truly heinous wigs, especially on the Linton blondes (Isabella and Catherine II stand out), this is Fantine in a high school production of Les Mis, Betsy Joslyn's Johanna wig level bad, but that kind of makes it charming (same with the really bad fight choreo for any scene of violence, which, TV movie from the late 90s with a budget of 2, what are you gonna do?)

Black comedy moment of Category 5 Heathcliff Meltdown going on offscreen and Catherine II watching as Hareton just sighs and covers his ears, strangely relatable. I'm so sorry you lived in a time before noise cancelling headphones Hareton

This Nellie is spiteful

Peak characterization and performance choices across the board, but Sarah Smart as Catherine II Linton really steals the show; I recall it was this version that cemented her as my favourite character

Speaking of, oh my God, the scenes with her and Heathcliff. 1000/10. So much to unpack. The first moor encounter is played so cudgel to the head as a Red Riding Hood moment they literally have Catherine II donning a hood + cape, albeit a blue one.

[rebelquilled]

BASICS

FULL NAME. xayah NICKNAME. the violet raven, the rebel GENDER. female HEIGHT. 5'6" not including her ear feathers AGE. around 180, not quite 200 but almost. appears 23 ZODIAC. ...idk zodiac stuff super well but tbh she's probably scorpio, we all know this lmao SPOKEN LANGUAGES.  vastayan and... ionian... idk if it has a name lol

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

HAIR COLOR. deep red, tinged in such a way that it can often look pink/purple in certain lightings. white stripes along the tips of feathered ears. her hair in general is very feathery and has an unusual texture compared to human hair. EYE COLOR. bright gold though the angrier and weaker she feels with a lack of magic, they tend to tinge more yellow. BODY TYPE. short but muscled. powerful legs and lithe upper body. made for swift and sharp maneuvering. VOICE. bright yet sharp. capable of sounding filled with intrigue and warmth but also filling with anger, edge, and commanding of a room. DOMINANT HAND. right handed for the most part, but she is trained to utilize both hands in most situations. she'll still defer to her right. POSTURE. usually bent over, ready to move swift and silent, tense and shifting. but when she stands straight, chest and hips are pushed forward, haughty and watchful of everything and everyone around her. SCARS. any she has are generally hidden under her clothes. but despite how she finds scars sexy and a sign of strength, she rarely lets them stay on her form without healing or rakan healing them. a few are on her upper back by her shoulders, where humans clawed at her wings. TATTOOS. tbh idk yet. i feel like xayah has some... probably similar to what amber gave her rakan... but haven't quite settled/decided. i imagine hers are on her back and hips, maybe her shoulders... but still figuring this out in my head !!! BIRTHMARKS. none! MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S). red feathered ears, digigrade bird legs... sharp teeth, golden and sharp gaze, long nails, violet feather cape, a smattering of other feathers over her body...

CHILDHOOD

PLACE OF BIRTH. the island of qaelin in ionia HOMETOWN. the island of qaelin in ionia SIBLINGS. none . PARENTS. her father is deceased while her mother is hiding with the rest of xayah's portion of the lhotlan tribe

ADULT LIFE

OCCUPATION. leader of the vastayan rebellion CURRENT RESIDENCE. constant movement within ionia CLOSE FRIENDS. ...pretty much just rakan. friends? don't know them. literally. RELATIONSHIP STATUS. in canon/90% of verses and timelines, she will be with rakan ( by default unless plotted or with another rakan, it will be @charmerquilled specifically ). prior to him or without him... she's a tough cookie who doesn't look too deeply into relationships. her focus is her cause and it will come first for the most part, so engaging in a romantic relationship with her is a challenge and takes quite the patience, time, and dedication. FINANCIAL STATUS. she gets what she needs... or rakan does. they make it work. lots of camping and hunting, but when it comes to towns, she usually lets rakan handle it because the people of the town irritate her too much... literally, she is not fiscally wealthy. but she knows how to make it work. DRIVER’S LICENSE. not applicable lol. CRIMINAL RECORD. that implies she's been caught/arrested/charged... she has no record because that hasn't happened. but she might be guilty of murder, destruction of private and public property, a bit of chaos, assault... absolutely ignoring law and order. happens. VICES. wrath.

SEX AND ROMANCE

SEXUAL ORIENTATION. bisexual PREFERRED EMOTIONAL ROLE. submissive | dominant | switch PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE. submissive | dominant | switch LIBIDO. normal... perhaps slightly lower most of the time TURN ON’S. biting, scratching, when her partner takes control and forces her to be submissive even if it's not her preferred role... feather tugging, wing touching, aggressive kissing and play TURN OFF’S. treating her as a beast for realsies and not for the play. degrading or filthy play, ripping out her feathers... more i can't think of atm LOVE LANGUAGE. physical touch, praise RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES. will put her rebellion first generally... until her partner because her sole and shining focus to the point she might sacrifice the rebellion instead. unlikely to be too openly loving in public but extremely adoring in private or in the heat of moments.

MISCELLANOUS

CHARACTER’S THEME SONG. ...their loading screen lol HOBBIES TO PASS TIME. planning, reading, dancing, she loves to just lay in peaceful areas and enjoy them, listening to rakan play instruments, practicing LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED. left PHOBIAS. hmmmmm... no specific phobia but she does fear losing rakan, she doesn't like the idea of drowning, and failure SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL. generally high. she's very confident in herself and her plans outwardly. internally, she does have more panic than she'll let on, because she does feel the pressure of her role and like a mistake could cost their people literally everything. VULNERABILITIES. the pressure of her position... rakan... she isn't brute strength or physically a powerhouse. while stronger and more durable than a human and many other beings, she still can only take so much by comparison so the more tank fighters like rakan or sett or the like.

[notvictims]

mikayla + appearance, because i'm incapable of deciding on a fc.

general. she's unrealistically beautiful. like, the definition of conventionally attractive, thanks to her mother. i've said it in the past, but her beauty is one of her powers, because it's able to distract opponents (temporarily, usually only a few seconds) and can also cause them to let their guard down slightly, which aids in her charmspeak. she radiates beauty regardless of the state she's in—she can be grimy, bloody, sweaty, and still look good, the way they do in the movies. she's just unnaturally beautiful, to the point she can almost be painful to look at (i say this only because hot girls hurt my heart)

height + build. she's 5'7", which is taller than her dad, because fuck him. her build is muscular, but lean. she's incredibly toned, but not like a body builder. she has light abs and you can tell she works out. (just trains, mostly) both her legs and arms have rock-solid muscles. i don't know what else to say.

skin + scars. her complexion is bronze and clear, incapable of developing any acne. the only flaws she has are her scars, which include one across her cheekbone, one on her left shoulder, a deep scar on the back of her head (hidden by hair, so nobody knows it even exists), and a scar that cuts across her right eyebrow, leaving a gash in it. when she was younger, the only time she would ever wear makeup would be to hide the scars, but she's grown out of it—she gets into enough fights that she figures she doesn't have to delve into the real source of all her scars, so it's fine.

hair. she has full + think black hair, which she keeps long and wears in large, loose curls. think k*mberly h*rt pre-chopping her hair off or ellie alves, and you've got the general idea of her hair style. she usually wears her hair down, unless she's training, in which case she'll put it in a ponytail, just to keep it out of her face. she's incapable of having a bad hair day—she literally puts no effort into doing her hair, despite it looking professionally done every day, from the time she wakes up to the time she goes to bed.

eyes. she has light brown eyes, with flecks of gold in them. during golden hour, they almost appear gold. her eyelashes are naturally long and thick. her eyebrows, like her hair, look professionally done, but she doesn't even need to touch them. like i said above, her right eyebrow does have a slit in it, due to scarring.

mouth. she has bow-shaped lips and perfect teeth. never needed braces.

tattoos + piercings. currently no tattoos, although she's not against the idea of getting them. in fact, she wants to, because her dad hates tattoos, but she hasn't decided on anything yet. her ears are pierced, but that's about it.

preferred style of clothing. unlike most of her siblings, she's satisfied in just a t-shirt and jeans. it's most realistic for her lifestyle, because she'd rather cover a t-shirt in blood and rip it up than something more expensive. she prefers not to wear dresses, but if the occasion calls for it, she will. she doesn't wear heels, ever, because fighting monsters is unrealistic in shoes like that, so she sticks with regular sneakers. usually, white air forces or converse, because she's a basic bitch at the end of the day. so basically, her style is super casual 90% of the time, because she sees no reason to hella dress up if there's a high chance of the clothes getting ruined.

jewelry. she has her camp necklace, which is just a leather band with handmade beads on it—8 beads exactly, for each summer she's spent at camp. she doesn't really wear anything else, because she used to wear gold jewelry, but it kept breaking, so she's over trying.

CLUELESS !

chapter one 🍓 rot your teeth.

based on the 1995 movie of the same, clueless! is an andrew’s peter parker x oc story. true to her name, sweet aurora is utterly clueless both to peter’s adoration and the fuck-hungry look that flash thompson has in his eyes every time she walks by. pure to the soul, peter admires the girl that his aunt and uncle took in after the death of her own parents, but slowly admiration turns to full blown lust. self preservation can only last so long when so many were so desperate to steal the innocence undoubtedly reserved for him. aurora couldn’t be any more clueless !

clueless masterpost

warnings: smut, peter and aurora living in the same household, no familial relation, masturbation (m&f), innocent!oc, innocence kink, size difference & kink, crybaby! themes, hyper femininity, sex, dacryphilia, oral (m&f), a whole lot of sitting in peter’s lap, light dom/sub undertones, loss of virginity, mixed feelings, more to be added.

"does this look okay?"

peter parker looked up at the heavenly words, music filled ears failing to allow him to notice the pretty girl in the doorway of his room. behind thick rims his big eyes widened, large hands reaching up to yank the earphones away. his jaw loosened, falling slack at the sight of such a sweet angel. she stood nervous as anything, fingers dancing in and out of one another. peter's breath was stolen away. a pair of unbuckled heeled mary janes sat pretty below her frilly socks, adding at least three inches to her height. his amber eyes trailed up her freshly shaved legs, lingering on the hemline of her little pink dress, sat halfway up her thighs. peter gulped at the sweetheart neckline and milkmaid sleeves. one of his favourite creations of hers — she'd hand made it. he could still remember helping her measure herself, giggling as she stumbled to get the right angles. blonde locks were sprawled across her shoulders, curling across her collarbones. he didn't know how it worked, but she'd managed to get the ends to curl inwards, like they did in the '90's. pouty lips were glossed and gnawed upon, eyes lined in little black wings.

somehow, the complete epitome of innocence and sex.

but he would never admit that.

"its not too much?"

"no — no!" he was quick to answer, wishing to diminish any and all of her insecurities. "its perfect, you're perfect." a grin spread across her lips, nibble fingers raising to push her curtain bangs away from her eyes. "you look perfect." peter tried his best to reemphasise.

"i'm taking the first one." a breathy laugh left her lips, pushing though his walls and latching straight onto his heart.

blinking heavily, "really, bambi, you look great." fuck flash thompson for getting to see her looking like this, a literal disney princess. aurora's bubblegum heart was too fragile for the likes of flash, he could pop it with the blink of an eye. that's what had peter so riled up, he just wanted to protect the sweet, naïve, clueless little thing in front of him. it'd always been in his desires — protecting people.

"will you help me do up the buckles?" quaint words lingered upon the air, one foot raising slightly from the floor. "don't wanna bend over in this dress."

she was going to be the death of him.

"yeah — yeah." nodding feverishly, the chestnut haired boy rose from his sitting position. with such long, agile legs, it was no issue to move quickly towards the nervous girl. peter tying up aurora's laces was no uncommon novelty, it was fairly often that one of her laces would become undone and he would be the first to go on one knee before her. just like now, she rest her pretty shoes stop his clothed knee. delicately, his long fingers latched the metal bar to strap the shoes up. he was always so gentle with her. her gentle giant. so unequivocally hers, and she had no fucking idea.

steadying herself on the doorframe as she swapped feet, "y'so good to me, pete." how could he not smile at such wonderful, fulfilling words? "thank you for looking after me." such a polite little thing. god, what he wouldn't do for her.

"it's my job." the boy shrugged with a cheesy grin, lightly settling her foot back down onto the floor and raising back to his full height. almost every time it took him by surprise how tiny she really was; how fragile, how innocent, how clueless. even now, with her mary jane heels and frilly white socks, she still stood much shorter than him, yet the perfect height for him to lean forwards, and plant a kiss atop her forehead. just as he did now. "promise me you'll be good." he spoke as he moved away, completely unaware of the blissed out look that had just been sitting upon aurora's face.

"i promise, peter. i'll be your best girl."

jesus christ, he was whipped. "you always are, rory."

it definitely wasn't aurora that he was worried about. it was flash thompson, and whoever the hell penelope's date was. that's why his jaw was set so tightly as may gushed over aurora's little outfit and uttered words of encouragement, he'd be silly not to ask you out here and now, oh, how i wished i still looked this young! peter didn't know what he would do if flash did try anything. it wasn't like he could put up much of a fight, just being a body of long limbs, asthma and awful eyesight. only his brain and clever wit was enough to win him an argument, not a physical fight.

"i don't need to tell you not to do anything i wouldn't do, do i?"

peter looked upwards at his uncle's voice, behind the thick rims of his glasses. the man with white hair looked at the girl so lovingly, as though he could never be so proud.

"trust me, ben. peter already gave me all the prepping possible."

his uncle winked his way, "attaboy."

just as the blonde began straightening out her dress, unknowingly allowing the hairs of her bangs to fall out of place, the doorbell rang. and there diminished his chances of reaching forward from his place next to the staircase and pushing the hairs behind her pierced, gold covered ears. peter parker didn't miss the way that aurora bounced lightly on the balls of her feet, oh so excited for her first real date. such a shame that it was with flash of all people.

may was the first to reach for the door handle, her aged skin grasping at the brass and tugging lightly, allowing enough space for the heavy, brooding figure to walk in.

a scowl sat upon peter's lips as flash's designer shoes stepped foot onto their hardwood flooring, followed by a long leg, black jeans coating the skin. a mop of raven hair passed the threshold, dark eyes already set on the girl standing oh so pretty in her handmade dress. peter couldn't help but hate the way her cheeks flushed under the intense stare, or the way that she fiddled harmlessly with her fingers at her navel. he hated that she looked so pretty for flash. he hated that her big bambi eyes were oh so wide and excited. he hated that flash looked at her as though she was something to devour.

and now, he hated that flash was looking at him.

"parker?"

"flash."

"what are you..." he stared across the four people in the room, no doubt piecing together how similar peter looked to the white haired man. dark brows creased together as flash's fist tightened around the flimsy bouquet, store bought and still adorned by the price tag. peter would've hand picked the flowers, including her favourite (and ever so hard to get) forget-me-nots and lillies and gypsophilas. not roses. "uh, you have a lovely home, mister and mrs smith."

a snort came from peter, completely missing the pleading glare that aurora sent him. may's smile widened, "parker. mister and mrs parker."

if this weren't flash, then peter would probably feel bad for the confusion against his face.

finally, aurora finally spoke out. "may and ben foster me." she explained briefly, accepting with open hands the flowers that were passed her way without a word, not trying to let a pout fall upon her lips.

"oh." said the thompson boy, eyes fluttering back to the boy beside the staircase occasionally. "it's nice to meet you both."

aurora passed the flowers on to may, who would no doubt find a pretty vase for them to sit in. "isn't he handsome?" the older woman whispered, obviously not quiet enough, as flash's chest visibly broadened with a deep breath. peter nearly rolled his eyes.

"where are you taking rory, kid?"

"benny's." flash answered ben's question, his eyes once again fluttering to the hemline halfway up aurora's thighs. "her friend is meeting us there."

"penny's going?" ben asked, more so directed towards the short blonde.

"penny's going." aurora nodded assuredly.

🍓

"so... parker is your brother?"

aurora frowned, having just explained the whole thing to the tall boy on their way up the steps into the retro diner. he hadn't asked her about anything else since he pulled away from the parker residence. his name is peter. "no."

"but you're adopted."

"n-no." she denied once again, allowing him to open the door. thankfully, due to her small stature, she easily slipped underneath his outstretched arm, stepping into the cozy, spaced out diner. "i'm fostered. ben and may aren't my parents. t-they're peter's aunt and uncle." she looked up once more, taking in his dark furrowed brows. "we have no relation."

"huh." said the boy. "always thought you two were, i don't know, like a thing."

clueless, "what thing?"

"a thing—"

"rory! flash! come, we're over here!" a sweet haze interrupted their interaction, the voice that could only belong to a girl who's hair was currently died electric red. a smile spread across bee stung lips, replacing the pout that once sat there. nothing could make aurora smile more than her best friend, the ever so talented penelope collins. said girl was sat down in a booth already, a mop of bright blonde hair sat next to her. aurora, who refused to wear her often needed glasses and a terrible eyesight for anything far, couldn't quite make out who sat next to her best friend, only that it was another girl.

subconsciously grabbing flash's hand, as she so often did peter's, the little girl pulled the much larger boy towards the excitedly awaiting redhead. she was all but skipping, eager to sit down opposite her best friend and indulge in their current affairs. her excitement stumbled, however, as her eyesight got clearer the closer she got to the red leather booth.

"is that...?" flash started, his own eyes squinting at the taller of the two sitting down, her blonde hair pulled up in a familiar ponytail. a striped sweater sat upon her shoulders as she snorted at something that penlelope said, blue-green eyes wide open and adorned with mascara. "gwen?"

it proved to be, as the brainiac looked upwards at flash's tone.

"hey!" chortled the blonde, flicking her hair out of her eyes slightly. both aurora and flash stood shocked, eyes no doubt as wide as saucers. "i didn't know you were aurora's date."

"you're gay?" the thick words hung in the air, striking aurora in the heart at flash's brash questioning.

aurora had to admit, she too was shocked by the sight of gwen stacey being penelope's date, of all people. not because of her sexual orientation — that didn't matter. but because gwen was such a good girl, undoubtedly doing enough to get into an ivy league or russel group university. penelope was the complete opposite, just doing enough to get by her time in school when she wasn't high off her ass or doting to rory.

gwen laughed breathily, brows furrowing. "if by gay you mean on a date with a girl, then yes." flash blinked. "i'm bi, flash."

"oh!" ever the himbo, "cool. i love gay people. BLT rights."

this time, it was aurora who looked up in questioning, "was that a joke?"

gwen and penny looked at each other for a moment, almost in shock. "i don't think it was."

blinking in aftershock, aurora allowed flash to push his hand against the small of her back, pushing her down into the booth. quickly she moved, not wanting to displease anyone at the table. flash shuffled in beside her, the smaller of the two not missing the way that his arm rest upon the back of her seat. she gulped.

"i was begging to think you guys had gotten lost." penny hummed, eyes searching over the tattered menu slip in front of her. "would've had to send a search party out for you."

"wouldn't leave you, pen." aurora hummed, shimmying her dress down her thighs slightly. "know you couldn't live without me."

penelope shot her a look over the top of the menu, a glint in her eye. aurora and penelope had been best friends since the day that she arrived in the grade below at midtown high. penelope, much alike peter, was somewhat the small girl's sworn protector. there was nothing that she wouldn't do for aurora, or her happiness. their year age gap made no difference to the two girls. they paid no mind to it, not when they adored one another so desperately. a stoner and a good girl, is there any better mixture for a duo?

flash, however, didn't seem so happy with the friendly banter. "what are you guys eating?"

gwen hummed, and it was only then that aurora noticed her arm was extended slightly under the table. gwen and penelope were holding hands. "i think we're gonna share a burger and fries. you want a milkshake, pen?"

practically with love hearts in her eyes, "whatever you want."

aurora smiled at that. with burning cheeks she turned towards the dark haired boy. he looked down at her, face almost blank. "you wanna share too?" she mumbled, fingers fiddling with the hem of her dress.

dark eyes flashed towards her painted nails. unbeknownst to aurora, his fist curled on the arm that was extended over her side of the chair. she never did realise how fucking insatiable she was.

"nah. i need a bulk." he turned away from her, not daring to stare at the way her lips turned slightly downwards. "coach said we have to be on game for next season. i'll have my own burger and fries."

"okay, troy bolton." penelope's words went unnoticed by flash.

"okay," aurora nodded, trying her best not to sound displeased. his reasoning was fair enough. "i-i'll just have fries and a coke, then."

"get a water." he mumbled, raising his hand to call over the waitress. "it'll be better for you. coke'll rot your teeth."

🍓

"rory's applying to college this year."

gwen's brow furrowed as she bit down on a fry, "isn't that, like, what, a year early? you're in the grade below, right?"

"y-yeah." said the small girl, aware of the dark eyes baring into the side of her head. she swallowed hurriedly, suddenly hating the attention being provided to her. "don't tell anyone. everyone i live with doesn't know, may would freak out."

"why?"

"she'd think i'm wishing away my future, or my high school experience. i'd still graduate, just a year early. i-if i get into the fashion school i want."

gwen tightened her ponytail, eyes narrowed down at aurora. penelope gave an encouraging smile to the nervous girl, letting her know that everything was okay. this was all going okay. "you want to go to fashion school? penny said you were into art, i would've thought you'd want to go to art school."

nodding hurriedly, "i do! i love painting, but making clothes is what i'm much better at."

a thick blush coated her cheeks when penelope raised her brows. "rory made that dress that she's wearing."

gwen's eyes widened, "really?"

aurora would have replied, if it weren't for the sudden cool touch upon her thigh. the blonde jumped skittishly, doe eyes widening as she looked down at the hand grasping ahold of her skin. flash acted nonchalant, as though his big hand wasn't brushing up against the hemline of her dress. he spared her a glance as she looked up at him, only chomping down on his burger in acknowledgement. she gulped.

"she's gonna make my prom dress. it's already in the making, right?"

trying to distract from the hand that felt so heavy upon her skin, "yeah." she blinked a few times, trying to maintain her posture. "i'm using it for my portfolio, too. showing the progress, and s-stuff!" the words became exaggerated due to the nature of flash gripping harder on her thigh, acting like a vice. was this how it was meant to feel when they do it in the movies? trying to not make her distraction obvious, aurora quickly reached out and shovelled a handful of fries into her mouth, undoubtedly chewing like a madman.

"i can't believe you made that. it's flawless. can you patch things up? i'll have to ask you to have a look at my jacket, it's got these..."

aurora tried to listen, she really did. but she could barely hear gwen's words over the sound of her hurried beating heart. flash's hand just felt so hefty and prominent against her skin. she didn't know if it was comforting. her mind was in a thousand different places.

there was only one person that could help her out now, and they seemed to be able to read her mind.

"i need the toilet. rory, will you come with?"

she'd never been so relieved to hear that penelope needed to pee. a curt nod left the blonde, bottom lip pushed between pearly whites. she dared not make eye contact with penelope, or flash, as the latter moved out of the booth so that they could get through. a hand was upon her own within a second, quickly pulling aurora towards the marked ladies room. the shorter girl stumbled, trying to keep up the same pace as penelope. a huff fell past her lips when she squeezed past the door, flinching at the loud bang as it slammed shut.

"what's wrong?" penelope was onto her as soon as the door shut, the redhead pushing herself up against the sink. a waft of tobacco and chanel perfume followed her movements, a familiar comfort to the blonde. hazel eyes lingered on the bashful blonde, who anxiously rubbed her arms up and down. no answer came straight away. "is he making you feel bad? do you not like him? too full on? say the words, rory, and I'll drag him out of that booth by his ear."

"what? pen— no! it's not that, he just..." the blonde dragged a hand down her face, brows furrowed in heavy thought. her heart was still pounding. "I just wanna take things slow. I like him, I really do."

fatal mistake.

poor, clueless, neglectful little rory. why pay so much time to someone who wasn't willing to do the same? someone who merely eyed her hungrily, as though she were a piece of meat? someone who would walk away, the second she left the table.

whatever smile sat on her lips as she pushed past the door to the ladies room fell in an instant, happy giggles falling empty in the air. her heart dropped to her stomach as bambi eyes met the guilty baby blue of gwen stacy. and only gwen stacy.

flash thompson had left.

RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON HEADCANONS: RAYA 

Raya has a stomach of steel. That girl can eat absolutely anything at this point. She’s essentially that one French guy who went around the world eating airplanes for money and Namaari is both disgusted and amazed at this at all times. Benja cries because he’s such a talented chef and she will literally guzzle saltwater and call it soup like a tongueless gremlin.  

I saw someone else post about this before (i think?) and can’t for the life of me remember who but we’ve all seen this girl’s gymnastic skills and just general disregard for physics and I am in full support of circus performer Raya. It wasn’t for very long but she was short on cash, Tuk Tuk needed more food than she could afford, and she figured she was traveling anyways so she might as well be an acrobat. Why the hell not. 

To add onto odd jobs I fully believe Raya has had, season 4 korra-style cage fighter Raya has my heart. She was just full of so much rage and guilt and what better (read: self-destructive) way to work through that than illegal fighting rings. Full support. 10000% can see it. 

Raya will regularly scale buildings and just free run for fun and it stresses-the-fuck™ out of Namaari. Like Namaari will be visiting Heart for a date with Raya and all of a sudden she looks up to see Raya jumping off of a roof screaming “PARKOUR” at the top of her lungs while Sisu cheers her on and tells her to do flips and 360s while she’s falling. 

This exists simultaneously with the hc that Namaari hates heights and will avoid them at all costs.

While Raya spent a lot of time in the woods, I also like to think she ended up getting really immersed in the various tribes for however many months she spent there, but in the shadiest parts of town, so when it comes to languages, she can speak local dialects fairly well but her vocab is 90% cursing and 10% different ways to say hello and goodbye. Imagine middle school spanish class but if they taught you how to say “your mother’s a whore” instead of “where is the bathroom” 

Just imagine, Raya stubs her toe on accident in front of Noi and Namaari and just the worst fucking things come out of her mouth. It’s basically that meme when person A has to cover the ears of person B and is just screeching in fury as they back away. You know which one.

[ohfuckohfucknoplease]

I think the turtle boys haven't had like their second growth sprout. cuz they definitely grow taller (I mean it's literally canon after the movie) n I mean it did bother me a bit that they were kind of short so here's my hcs for how tall they will get.

raph is canonically 182 cms (6'0) rn n he will grow to b like 236 cms tall (a whoopin 7'9) because have u fuckin SEEN how massive the snappers r, even as normal turtles they grow a little more than half a human in size, ofc as a mutant he will literally tower over ANYONE. every door in the lair has to get bumped up to spare his posture n the turtle tank has to be updated to accommodate him. he just crouches to talk to people now. his brothers still retain him as their playground to perch on/climb on.

leo is canonically 165 cms (5'5) n grows to be 177 cms (5'10). he doesn't get MUCH taller but he gets a lil beefier. he's still upset bout it. he had secret hope that he's gonna get much taller, maybe as tall as raph. it doesn't help that red eared sliders are actually quite tiny as turtles.

donnie. so, listen. I kno that we were told that he's a spiny softshell. BUT HIS SHELL DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THAT OF A SPINY SOFTSHELL AND ITS DRIVIN ME INSANE. THEY HAD MULTIPLE OTHER SPECIES TO CHOOSE FROM THAT MATCH HIS DESIGN CLOSER BUT THEY SETTLED ON *SPINY* SOFTSHELL? UGH! anyway so in my hc he's not spiny n he only gets told that he's a spiny softshell because that's the least endangered species n the most known so everyone just assumed he was that. he is, however, either an asiatic softshell, an african softshell turtle, or a southern new guinea giant softshell turtle. ik it's kinda a fandom inside joke that draxum bought them in a zoo store but what kind of a zoo store will literally sell SNAPPING TURTLES N SOFTSHELLS??? that would make sense if all of them were box turtles, like in previous iterations, but they r not, so it is my headcanon that draxum probably terrorised quite a few exotic animals smugglers to get the diverse set of the turtles (because as a scientist u want a wide range of samples, especially if this is a long-term experiment/project). SO YEAH, DONNIE ISNT A SPINY TURTLE! all of the species I have listed off grow around 90 cms at least so he will DEFINITELY outgrow leo. he grows to be 192 cms (or 6'2). leo is very mad about it, too. donnie can't stop taunting him bout it cuz leo used to b taller durin their teenage years.

mikey is a box turtle, so he's also quite small, n he's canonically 4'7 (140 cms) AND ALSO IK HE'S ALSO OFFICIALLY AN ORNATE BOX TURTLE BUT THE SPOTTED BOX TURTLE FITS HIM LITERALLY SO MUCH BETTER. n spotted box turtles r literally so tiny (6 inches or 15.5 cms as adults) so, sadly, mikey will not grow past this height. <//3

also I think april is gonna grow a couple of inches (will b 4'12 or 152 cms) by the time she's 18. she will still have insane big sister energy but just now w a few turtles hovering absolutely over her.

[imagineredwood]

Hey babe. I don't want you to put too much into it because we already expect too much from POC to begin with but can you give me just a simple small handful of things that you absolutely don't want to see in fanfic?

I had a post like this already but I couldn’t find it because tumblr is trash so here we are  😂

I understand that being vague can be difficult because it’s difficult for me, but being too specific can really throw things off if the person reading doesn’t fit your description. For instance, I knew I had a certain vision when it came to the story I wanted to do for Camila and I didn’t want to have to cut things out and leave out those details that really paint the picture. I do reader inserts all the time. That’s what I do. Literally 90% of my work is reader inserts, maybe even more. I’ve created a name for myself here by doing that, so that’s what the bulk of my work is, but I also want to show what other things I can do. Show how well I can paint a picture and tell a story. You can’t do that as well when the reader has no attributes. So that being said 

Don’t mention the “readers” hair color/length/texture etc. “Flowing blonde hair”  

Don’t mention the reader's skin tone/color/texture 

Don’t mention their height/weight/body type or build 

Don’t throw in backstory like “your 5 siblings” “Growing up without a mom” “coming from an abusive home” things like that. You may relate, other’s don’t

Don’t substitute Daddy with Papi. We’ve been over this a million times 

It's very easy to see which writer is writing something self-indulgent and just trying to pass it off as a reader insert. And writing self-indulgent work is fine! It’s great! Sometimes self-indulgent work comes out the best! I never thought that Cam’s story would make it as far as it did because I created her out of thin air and she’s not actually real, yet people have really enjoyed it because it came from the heart. It was something I created that made me happy and it showed, so people love it just like I do. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s ok but a good amount of people have really enjoyed the story.

But to label something as ______ x reader, and then describe yourself or your OC, that’s not how this works. You’re lying to people, whether you want to see it that way or not. And there are also other subtle nuances that people sometimes don’t even realize that they’re doing. Keep in mind that:

Dark-skinned or black people don’t blush. They feel the heat, but their face doesn’t “turn pink”. Instead, try saying “They felt the heat rise to their cheeks and ears” Same thing for light or dark skin, but you’re not excluding anyone who can’t physically have pink cheeks

Certain hair lengths/textures or curl patterns don't just let you run your fingers through their hair. Someone with 4c hair can’t have that done as easily as someone with straight hair. Someone with no hair can’t either, or someone with a protective style.

Not every Latino is Mexican. If someone asks for a Latinx reader and they don’t specify, don’t start going off about elotes and family in Juarez when that might not be where they’re from. There's a shitload of Latin American countries, Mexico isn’t the only one. Of course, you can’t include every single culture, so don’t. Just use some Spanish if you know any, maybe family dynamics, things like that.

Not everyone’s nipples are pink. Fair-skinned people have pink nipples, and not even all of them. Black, Latina, Asian, women usually tend to have brown nipples. Some lighter, some darker, but not “pretty pink” Associating pink nipples with being the pretty ones is a microaggression in itself. 

Afro-Latinos exist. Just because someone asked for a Latina reader, doesn’t automatically make her medium skinned. Dark-skinned Latinos are real and it isn’t fair to count them out. So unless the reader requested a lighter skinned latina, don’t just do that on your own

Don’t be too hard on yourself if you have done these things. Hell, I’ve written things that excluded MYSELF  😂 When I first started here there was no Mayans MC, it was just SOA and we know how that went. So I always felt like if I didn’t cater to the people who looked like the main characters, I wouldn’t do well. It’s not that I’m comfortable in my own skin and got no problem writing about people that look like me. But I’ve found things like “you blushed” in my own writing when I first started and that excludes darker-skinned people. I’ve tried to correct it in any piece that I find, but I’ve done a lot of work and I don’t have the time to go through every single piece. 

If anyone ever finds something that is not inclusive like that, please let me know. There are somethings that I will have to leave because we are all different and there are some things that I won’t be able to include every single person. But something like that where I did the above if you find it let me know which story. I know they’re out there because I’ve found and corrected some myself. I’m not saying I’m perfect and I don’t expect anyone else to do. What I do expect is for people to try. Once you’ve been made aware, don’t brush it off. Address it. If you don’t, that’s your right, but then don’t complain that people don’t read your stuff and you don’t get as much positive feedback as other writers. 

It’s nice that you bother to ask babe. The more we can educate people, the more inclusive this space will become❣️

HEADCANONS

Being raised by a literal criminal, Annabelle learned more about crime than basic household duties. When it comes to removing evidence and scrubbing a crime scene clean of any proof you were there, they know exactly what to do. When it comes to cleaning a kitchen? Not so much.

They don’t consider themself to be much of an artist, but they do find joy in making small watercolor paintings. However, taking polaroids is their favorite form of art.

They still have their extensive collection of sillybands that they wear from time to time.

BIOGRAPHY

From before she was born, Annabelle - along with her siblings Todd and Mary - were pulled into their mother’s various schemes. For the longest time, it was the only life Annabelle knew. Lying to your teachers about why your mother was late picking you up from school was completely normal, as was stealing lunch from your classmate’s cubbies and pulling out the test answers when no one else is looking. Sleeping in new hotel rooms every week was to be expected. Annabelle thought it was a fun game, and learned to be good at it. Whoever took the most lunch money was the winner. If she could pick a lock the fastest, she would get more dessert. They were assets more than they were her children, miniature partners in crime more than family, small humans to be used to her advantage rather than vulnerable young minds.

After a brief trip to Disney World, where they were there to work ( steal wallets and as much information as they could ) rather than simply be kids in a theme park, Annabelle began to realize they weren’t like most families nearby. They were hardly a family at all. The more Annabelle grew, the more their resentment of their mother increased. Money wasn’t tight - this was the lifestyle their mother had chosen. Sure, crime could be thrilling even - Annabelle felt a flutter in their own chest every time they risked getting caught in exchange of fishing entire livelihoods out of pockets. But what would happen if they didn’t pull enough cash one day? If they didn’t cause a distraction for long enough? If their lie fell wasn’t convincing enough? Would they lose their own mother, would they be swapped out for a better thief? Would there still be a seat at the table for them?

Annabelle, still young and impressionable, began to search for approval elsewhere, from someone whose affection wouldn’t depend on what she could give to them, and rather who she was just as a person. With the missing puzzle piece in her life always being her father, Annabelle joined in her brother’s search for the mystery man…which started with her dropping out of school ( she never much cared for it anyway ) and starting on the various goose chases that her mother offered for their father’s identity. An old partner. An enemy. A man in prison, graveyards, newspaper clippings, any info they could get their hands on. Each new lead, it seemed, was met with a dead end. With a mother more obsessed with elaborate heists than being a parent and a father who couldn’t seem to be found, Annabelle became tired of the constant disappointment from the adult figures in her life. Four years she spent at Todd and Mary’s side looking under every rock, scanning every museum, each nook and every other cranny to no avail. When they wanted to go further out East, Annabelle opted to stay where she was. She decided she had no interest in searching out a man who didn’t want to be found to find further disappointment. She’d make her own little life for herself in Nevada, in a broom shed of an apartment, without having to live to anyone else’s expectations besides her own.

Other than the occasional trip ( for pleasure, never business ), Annabelle stayed in the small corner of the world they claimed for themselves, falling in love, finding rhythm with their assorted jobs, partying, gaming, and simply living. They could have stayed in the life they made for themselves for forever, if it weren’t for a phone call they received from Todd, informing them that their father, at last, had been lastly found. Perhaps they missed their siblings at their side, perhaps somewhere in side they did want to meet the man who fathered them…perhaps they’d grown tired of being stuck in a bubble…perhaps all those reasons at once, Annabelle left the comfort of the home they built for themselves behind in favor of taking the opportunity to seek something new.

Marvelous City – Chongqing Special

Video Link: https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTA2NzMzODYxNg==.html

Translator’s Note: This is translated off the Marvelous City - Chongqing Special Episode. I wrote it in an article form because of video copyrights issues. This documentary was filmed early 2020, but only aired recently. Xiao Zhan’s episode aired on 12 Jan, this special episode aired on 17 Jan.

Q: What difference do you feel returning to Chongqing this time round?

A: Actually for all my years, I’ve never seriously experienced Chongqing like this. Because when you’re living within it, you will not jump to an outsider’s point of view and deliberately observe places, scenery and food. I grew up with Chongqing and it’s melded within me, hence this time I came back, including the air raid shelters, the local delicacies, or the Xiao Mian, I have a new understanding and knowledge of them. The feeling in my heart is different as well.

Q: What are your biggest takeaway from this visit?

A: As a Chongqinger who has grown up and lived twenty odd years in Chongqing, I realized my understanding of the air raids shelters, I originally thought they were just shelters. But after my discussion with Mr. Xiang, I discovered that there were many stories regarding them. Yesterday, he spoke of an example, an elder he interviewed, and that elder told him that during those years, once there was an alarm, he was actually secretly happy. He would watch for the shelter the lady he liked ran into, and he would follow that lady to that shelter. So you see, it’s that sort of finding joy in their chaotic lives. I feel that that is, very accurately, the description of Chongqingers’ optimism. But actually, it’s easy to say that we would feel like that – since we have to live every day, living a day happily versus living a day miserably, why should we not live happily. But few are able to do that, moreover in such a chaotic environment. So when he told me those stories yesterday, I felt especially touched. I was quite moved, actually.

Q: How was the experience when you previously rode the light rail?

A: The line for Niujiaotuo was especially interesting. To walk from Rail Line 3 to Rail Line 2, it took 15 minutes. If the person in front of you walked especially slowly, plus everyone was going to work in the morning, it’s just shoulder to shoulder crowded. Basically, even if you wanted to run, you couldn’t, you could only push your way through and then run forward. That period was especially weird. I was thinking, why weren’t these ladies and gentlemen in a hurry, then I’d be “excuse me excuse me”, push through them and run forward, then start queuing.

Rail Line 2 would come, because it was suspended between bridges, when the glass door opens you’d have to squeeze your way in, and there would be some situations, like some people with their bags stuck outside, their slipper stuck outside, and then all kinds of stuff, sometimes even their breakfast would be stuck outside. Then there’s like burst soy bean drinks, there’s a lot of situations like this, and actually below Rail Line 2, there was a huge safety net. The net was there because they were afraid of falling objects from great heights, and these might fall and hit someone below. So sometimes, well sometimes in the summer, I would see that there’s some ridiculous things piling on the net, someone’s slipper, belt, bag or umbrella, etc. I don’t know if it’s still there, I guess they would clean it regularly. But I felt that this was especially funny, funny and sad at the same time. I mean who would want to squeeze with people early in the morning, you’d be squeezed half dead, everyone would be angry, and you’d argue in the morning.

But you couldn’t help it, it’s for livelihood, hence that time when I saw that there were many reports saying “it’s so tough, this year is so tough on me”, but then I also felt that actually everyone had it tough. I feel that everyone is moving forward while trying to live, actually we’re like a battalion, and we are all being pushed forward by our lives. We’re already at 2020 and every single day before was tough, it’s all tough, so I feel that we just have to manage and adjust. I feel that our attitudes need to be managed well.

I remember that time, I was squeezed so badly that I was plastered onto the glass door. That glass door, I was literally stuck onto it, and then when I looked down at the Jialing River, because the Rail Line 2 was suspended over it, I just looked at the Jialing River below and thought, actually that scenery was rather pretty. So, I’d just watch the scenery, and when you start to carefully observe, you would feel that it’s actually quite beautiful. In the mornings, there would be elders swimming in the winter, and then there’d be some reefs, because I recall that it’d be dry season during the winter, the water levels would go down and hence the waters would also become somewhat clearer. Jialing River, with those oddly shaped reefs, and then there was all kinds of people fishing, jogging alongside. What also attracted me was the windows, they looked like film, frame by frame, and the windows on the light rail were also frame by frame. And then after night falls, because the light rail was built along the river, the night view by the river, those lights and those skyscrapers would be varicolored, just like a movie.

Q: What do you like about Chongqing?

A: I like its summer and I also like its winter. There’s two sensations, the summer’s passionate like fire, whereas the winter, and you’d feel that the chill seeps into your bones, just you’d feel hurt magically. Hotpot, Xiao Mian, spicy diced chicken, peppercorn chicken, there’s too many of them, I love them all. Double-cooked pork… I feel that these food are something engraved in your bones since childhood. When you mention those food, your mouth instinctively salivates. I already have the taste of peppercorn chicken in my mouth, it’s strange, but I haven’t had peppercorn chicken for a very long time, but now I am just… *swallows saliva*

Q: What is the Chongqing delicacy of your heart?

A: There’s no need to say. I used to go to this noodle stall in the past. It didn’t have a name, it’s just an aunty, and that aunty is especially nice. Because every time I went there I would tell her, aunty, for example I wanted to eat wontons, we call them Chao Shou, I’d say, “Aunty I want less wontons more vegetables”, and then the aunty would put in a lot of vegetables, but she didn’t really remove that many wontons. Every time I went there I don’t have to give her my order, I’d say “the same old”, and she’d know exactly what to make, just put more vegetables inside. So sometimes, I’d just watch her cook, and while watching her busy around, you’d feel especially warm in your heart. It’s just a stall, but every neighbor would be eating there, and they’d be eating there for decades, their children and even grand children would be eating there as well. Slowly, the stall would became a part of their emotional support, like maybe I won’t eat this noodles today, or perhaps she didn’t open today, it would became a kind of concern for that person. Eventually, it’s no longer a matter of a bowl of Xiao Mian, but a habit of life, an emotional interaction. I feel that this is the power of Chongqing delicacies in my heart.

Q: How was your childhood like?

Actually when you talk about my childhood, I really liked the environment I lived in when I was really young. Sometimes I would dream and I often dreamed of that period. When I was young, the early 90s era, multimedia wasn’t as advanced, there were no mobile phones or computers. There were probably arcade centers during that period of time, those that you needed to slot in coins, but children weren’t allowed to go, we had to sneak in. But mostly, it was our neighbors.

As a child, once we finish our homework, we could go downstairs and yell out “So-and-so, come down quickly”, and with a whoosh, all the children in the district would come down. Everyone would play hide-and-seek and then beanbag toss (TN: similar to cornhole), just all kinds of board games, any sort will do. All of these games are interactive. I still remember the shop on the first floor downstairs from my home, he modified the shop to become a snack stop, and all of the kids would buy snacks from him. I remember that real fresh milk was delivered on a bicycle, everyday freshly squeezed, and we would collect from him using our own bags or buckets. It’s just especially down-to-earth. I remember that time at around 5pm or 6pm,you’d hear yelling, as in that sort “selling milk” (TN: in Chongqing accent) and those fat sausages. Over there, fat sausages (TN: in Chongqing accent), all these kinds of finger food, you know? Wow, I miss those days.

And during that period, the smells of cooking would fill up the entire district, whether by mothers or grandmothers, they’d be cooking and the whole district would permeate with delicious smells. It was just especially wonderful, I feel that that period was really down-to-earth, everyone was especially vivid. Actually, I feel that our lives now are a bit cold, just a bit cold. Then, we would know all of our neighbors, but now, I doubt that we understand our neighbors well.

Q: What do you think of the phrase “pa erduo”? (TN: henpecked, literally means to be pulled by the ear)

Pa erduo (TN: In Chongqing accent), it means that the person’s ear is especially soft. It used to mean that the man is some kind of a loser, but I feel that now, this phrase is adorable. I feel that it’s a compliment, it means that Chongqing men treat their wives well, it’s a display of love for their wives, so I feel that it’s adorable. When I’m out, I am upright and indomitable, I can be your pillar of support, but when I’m back home, I will dote on you fully. I feel that it’s especially good, my father is like this. My father is especially cute sometimes, oh dear, I’m going to betray my father. He is especially cute, he would often tell my mother to let him maintain some dignity when they’re out, just especially cute. I feel that as a couple, they are quite good, just very standard, in my eyes, they are the standard Chongqing couple. Because actually my mother doesn’t talk a lot outside, she listens to whatever my father says, but once we are back home, my dad will give in to my mother most of the time.

Q: What is your relationship with your hometown?

To me, I feel that I am just very proud of her, she’s my pride. Maybe there are some youths, actually I was the same when I was a teenager, I thought about whether I should leave Chongqing to a bigger city. At that time, everyone was talking about Bei-Shang-Guang (TN: Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou), and I thought about whether I wanted to take a look there, for example design, obviously Bei-Shang-Guang is the forefront of China, spearheading. I thought about it as well, whether I should go and take a look, but when I was studying in the university, and then after I graduated, to me, I was slowly adjusting to the life in Chongqing, so I feel this differs from person to person. Hence at that time I felt that it was also quite fine remaining in Chongqing. If I can’t attain a top leader position outside, or become a highflier, then why shouldn’t I just stay grounded and do well in my own hometown? Actually those were my thoughts at that time, but as fate has it, I still left Chongqing. So I feel this is really just fate, just something mysterious. Now that there’s so much skyscrapers in Chongqing, so many office buildings, so many of them graded 5A, there are so many youths working in there, fighting for their dreams. There may be some people who doesn’t like it, some may be forced to work by their families, or the job was found for them by a relative, but I believe that most youths have an ambitious heart, and they want to fulfill the dreams they had when they were studying, their endeavors, and they are just fighting for their ideals. I feel that every city has its own charm, and Chongqing charm lies in the fact that it’s vivid. It’s very lively, it’s a young city, and everyone is fighting, for their lives, for their ambitions. She is a very lively city.

Q: Do you think you have the tenacity of a Chongqinger?

A: Very tenacious. I feel that I am a very tenacious person. Just when I encounter things, like I’ve lived in Chongqing for 23 years, well-adjusted to the living and working environment of Chongqing, and then suddenly I went to Beijing, to the entertainment business. It’s just worlds apart, two entirely different living environments. And truth be told, that period of time was quite tough. Whether it was singing, dancing or acting, to me those were all brand new things, but at that time I felt, since I’m already here, then I must do it well with all of my efforts. No matter how tough or how difficult, those were my choices, even if I had to crawl I had to finish the journey, that’s how I felt.
