How to make money on Tik Tok in 2020

Making money on Tik Tok in 2020

How to make money on Tik Tok , a s with pretty much every Internet-based trend that comes along, has constantly been asked.

The answer is that yes, you certainly can.

While Tik Tok is not built specifically around monetization and providing income streams to creators, the app is very commercial-friendly and it is possible to earn a good living by creatively using the platform. First things first:

What Is Tik Tok? Tik Tok, also known as Douyin in China, is a Chinese-owned social video-sharing app.

Users can shoot, edit, and share 15-second videos jazzed up with filters, music, animation, special effects, users can also collaborate on content while being in different locations and create split-screen “duet” videos.

Like its fellow social media apps like Instagram , Twitter , and Facebook , users can also follow, like, and comment on everything they see. Tik Tok can be used on iOS and Android operating systems.

To put it plain and simple, Tik Tok is here to make social media fun again. With over one billion installs, Tik Tok is becoming a very valuable app.

Tik Tok is one of the fastest-growing social media platforms in the world which presents an alternative version of online sharing.

Tik Tok’s mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. It enables everyone to be a creator, and encourages users to share their passion and creative expression through their videos.”

In doing so, Tik Tok competes with giants like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook that have either the backing of Google or Facebook.

Due to its simplistic user interphase, it’s able to stand out from other apps as anyone can be a content provider

Methods of making money on Tik Tok # Becoming an Influencer on Tik Tok

An influencer is an individual who has an above-average impact on a specific niche process. Influencers are normal people, who are often connected to key roles of media outlets, consumer groups, industry associations or community tribes. Influencers’ role is to add value to their opinions.

For instance, you don’t listen to your musically-tuned-in friend because he has a cool website or because your other friends told you he was great, you listen to him because you found that he has really good taste, and so when he recommends an album or an artist you know it will be good.

He is saving you time and money every time he opens his mouth, and that is why you pay attention to him. Tik Tok-specific influencers might not be huge yet, but they will be and you can work with them to widen your reach on the platform.

Generation Z is typically opposed to anything that looks like a traditional ad. So, working with Tik Tok influencers can really help you make a connection with that generation of users.

If you do have something worthwhile to say, and you have a huge following, then TikTok gives you a very straightforward method of monetizing your video appearances in the app.

All you need to do is recommend products and services that you genuinely do use and think are good; those brands, stores, artists, or whoever will then be very glad to compensate you for your advocacy of their product or service and therefore make money on TikTok.

You need to have a genuinely large and engaged following

#Live Streaming

Another viable method you can use to make money on Tik Tok is Live Streaming. To get started, please make sure you have the latest version of Tik Tok for Android or iOS .

Open the Tik Tok app and log into your account (If you haven’t already). Click on the add button from the bottom of the screen. The icon should be in the form of a plus sign (+). After the video screen opens up, click on the “Live” button which should be aside to your recording button. Now simply add an eye-catching title to your live stream which will let other users know what it is about. adding a title to your live stream. Please avoid using any banned words such as duet, follow, fan, BFF, drama queen, donation, etc. Finally, tap on the “Go Live” button and then you should be able to commence with your live streaming. The Go Live feature in Tik Tok is still in the testing phase and not available to all users. To enjoy this feature, make sure you are using the latest version of the Tik Tok app. Please avoid using any banned words in your live stream title, such as duet, follow, fan, BFF, drama queen, donation, etc. You may need 1000 fans before you can go live on Tik Tok. You can achieve this by grinding hard or using Social Media Automation Software . Live streaming on Tik Tok used to be on Live.ly but it has since moved to Musical.ly. Basically, users tip Tik Tok creators using in-app ‘coins’. The coins are bought via in-app purchases using real cash.

Obviously the tips depend on the quality of the video and the no of followers you have. This can form an income source and can quickly be scaled up depending on the degree of success.

# Promoting and Selling own product

This is probably the most realistic way for most people to make money via TikTok, even without accumulating a huge following and becoming a national-scale influencer.

The idea is to have some other line of business or store, and use Tik Tok as an absolutely free way to promote and sell your products or services, or to promote your existing business

Using influencers as mentioned above can come in handy. Tik Tok-specific influencers might not be huge yet, but they will be and you can work with them to widen your reach on the platform. Generation Z is typically opposed to anything that looks like a traditional ad.

So, working with Tik Tok influencers can really help you make a connection with that generation of users.

Finally, you can, in essence, advertise any business even if it isn’t something that translates well to video. By putting up a video that’s fun, funny, creative, or musically great, you’ll attract attention – and then you can have a few frames at the end pitching your product or service.

# Upload Tik Tok compilation videos on Youtube

One of the hardest ventures in penetrating an already saturated Youtube niche. Being relatively new, Tik Tok compilation videos is offering creators an emerging target niche.

As opposed to long videos, Tik Tok compilation videos offer many different short videos that are more appealing to even audiences with a goldfish attention span. These videos are aggressively gaining traction on Youtube and can offer a reliable income stream.

Going by just the above example, using a conservative CPM of 1.5, the above Youtuber has already made over 40,000 in just over a year. This is just from a single video

My favourite Charmed episodes - season 6

This is the sixth part of my Favourite Charmed Episodes meta series all posts in the series will be tagged as #favecharmedeps.

Season 6 is a strange season because for some fans it’s their most favourite season and for others it’s their least favourite. For me, I’m afraid it’s the latter. Whilst season 5 saw a change in the vibe of the show, season 6 felt like a much more dramatic change that simply didn’t work for me. The characterisation of the main character seemed to become inconsistent and their development flopped, the strong sister relationships were neglected more than any other previous season and despite the potential of Chris’ character and plot, the indecisveness around what to do with his character led to a bunch of plot holes and a character that simply didn’t fit or make sense within the Halliwell family or Charmed as a whole. Nonetheless, the season wasn’t all bad. I still like some episodes from the season and there are some that provide some good characterisation that’s consistent with previous arcs and episodes. I’ve chosen 4 episodes from season 6 - Little Monsters, The Courtship of Wyatt’s Father, Hyde School Reunion and It’s a Bad, Bad, Bad World.

Little Monsters (6x09)

Overall, I think this episode is very underrated and slips under the radar. The plot with the manticores, the baby and his father (Derek) is one of my favourites involving innocents from across the series. Charmed tackles the greyness of morality multiple times, but the shows emphasis at times is generally black and white in its representation of good and evil, so this episode is great because it’s a particularly effective exploration the greyness involved in good versus evil.

By having a demon baby, it immediately forces the sisters to question everything they feel and believe about demons. Usually their approach is simple - demons are evil and they kill them. However, the baby is not only a baby, but he also looks human and develops a bond with Wyatt. This causes conflict for the sisters who obviously cannot justify or bring themselves to kill a baby, regardless of the demonic powers he seems to posses. He may have evil powers, but he’s not evil yet and they know that evil is made not born. And the fact that Wyatt takes such a shine to him causes further conflict since Wyatt’s instincts from a very young age have always been very good. He knows when he’s in the presence of evil or if someone is untrustworthy and wants to harm him or his family, and he demonstrates that by having his force-field up. So the fact that he never puts his force-field up around the baby means that Wyatt doesn’t sense anything amiss from him.

For Piper this is a particularly interesting episode because it taps into her feelings and instincts as a mother. By meeting Derek and seeing his desperation to be with his son, she’s able to sympathise as a mother who would also do anything for her child. There’s something that I just love about the fact that a suspected bad guy and demon who the sisters believe wants to kidnap the baby to do him harm actually turns out to be a human man who simply wants to save his son and voluntarily transformed into a demon so he could do exactly that. It’s one of the most emotive and touching stories of any innocent on the show, in my opinion. And I love how Piper was able to connect so easily to Derek, even when he was in his demon form and she was still unsure about his intentions. Just like Wyatt, her instincts didn’t let her down and she quickly realised that she wasn’t in the presence of evil.

It still makes me sad that Derek and his son only appeared in this episode, because the chemistry between Derek and Piper and the little friendship Wyatt and the baby developed was incredibly sweet and I think there was potential there for a friendship to continue and for Piper and Derek to go on play dates together with the kids.

Overall, this episode isn’t stand-out brilliant or amazing. The side-plots with Darryl being made invincible by Paige’s spell and Phoebe and Jason’s struggles in their relationship are forgettable and lacklustre, but there’s something about Derek’s plot that I find very compelling and endearing. It’s one of the few stories of the many, many, many innocents on the show that always sticks in my mind.

The Courtship of Wyatt’s Father (6x16)

There’s only one reason this episode makes it onto my list and I’m sure you can guess what it is. It’s Piper and Leo.

Generally, I’m not a huge shipper of Piper and Leo, but I still have a strong attachment to them and always rooted for them to be together. After the turmoil they go through in season 6, this episode is much needed. There’s so much left unsaid and unresolved between Piper and Leo, and the way he leaves at the end of season 5 and how he’s kidnapped by Chris and placed in Valhalla is just two of many issues they don’t address in regards to how their relationship ended.

This episode is simply an emotional, heart-wrenching and authentic glimpse at two people who have a long, complex and deep history re-connecting in the moments which they believe could potentially be their last. Finally hearing those words, “I never stopped loving you” is so gratifying, because we all knew that but neither of them had openly voiced their feelings. Piper and Leo overcame so much to be together and they were cruelly ripped apart by Leo becoming an Elder, and everything about what happens between them in this episode is earned.

The fact that Chris’ very existence is dependent upon Piper and Leo having sex and conceiving him on the very same day only thickens the plot. What’s so beautiful about it, is that all through season 6 you wonder how Chris is possibly going to be conceived since Piper and Leo are split and for a long time I started to think it was going to be done magically. So the fact that Chris is conceived naturally and out of nothing but pure love is so beautiful and it’s exactly what he needed. He feels inferior to Wyatt and knows that Wyatt was planned and wanted, and although he may not have been planned in the same way he was born out of Piper and Leo’s love in exactly the same way Wyatt was. If anything, the moment Chris was conceived was even more romantic and special than Wyatt since we as fans got to see that experience and the emotion between Piper and Leo in that moment.

There’s really nothing more that I can say about this episode, other than to say that the way the episode ends with Piper finally learning that Chris is her son is a huge cliff hanger and just adds to the gratification of the episode.

Hyde School Reunion (6x17)

There are a lot of aspects of this episode that are cringey as hell, but what I like about this episode is how consistent it is with Phoebe’s characterisation (which is particularly important to me, since I feel like the writers lost sight of Phoebe a lot in seasons 6-8). I also enjoy the fact that it slightly parallels with Coyote Piper where Piper had her high school reunion and had to confront her past and the ways in which she’d changed but also the ways that she’d stayed the same. Coyote Piper also showed the dynamic between Prue and Piper, whilst Hyde School Reunion shows the dynamic between Phoebe and Paige.

As I’ve mentioned multiple time throughout this meta series, Phoebe has always been characterised as being the sister with the darkest nature. We know that she got into trouble when she was younger and she was somewhat rebellious, but this episode allows us to literally see that younger version of Phoebe as she becomes her. The opening scene between Phoebe and Paige is cute because we see them bonding and Paige expressing that Phoebe’s a lot to live up to as a big sister. It’s these kind of sister moments that are so important to me and they’re particularly precious at this point since they don’t happen as often in season 6. It’s also nice that Phoebe invites Paige to attend her high school reunion with them since Paige has expressed in the past how she sometimes feel a little out of the loop since she never had the opportunity to know Piper and Phoebe when they were younger. By allowing Paige to be part of her high school reunion, Phoebe enables Paige to journey back to her past and see the sides of Phoebe and aspects of her life that she didn’t know about. This is also important because seeing the flip side to Phoebe enables Paige to realise that as much as she may look up to Phoebe as her older sister, Phoebe isn’t perfect either, which is always a valuable lesson to learn about our role models no matter how old we are.

Phoebe has come up against her dark side multiple times in the previous seasons, but what’s significant about this episode is that she isn’t under the influence of magic or evil, it’s just her. The young Phoebe we see is exactly who she was when she was that age and a spell brings her to fruition, but it’s completely authentic and true to the person she was. What this episode does by connecting Phoebe to her past and her younger self, is to allow her to remember the person she was, how she’s changed and to take responsibility for the terrible things she did and prove that she’s no longer that person. It’s one of the most effective episodes at demonstrating how far Phoebe has come because she’s a million miles away from the young Phoebe we see in this episode.

In addition to Phoebe’s arc, seeing Piper trying to work through the fact that Chris is her son, Chris revealing that Piper is dead in his future and Chris and Victor meeting is all very moving and emotional. Piper can clearly see that Chris is closed off and she wants to remedy that, and we see that already she’s having those motherly instincts towards Chris. Since the family finally know the truth about who Chris is, he’s forced to confront his demons more so than before and him admitting that Piper is dead in his future explains a lot of his behaviours and attitudes throughout the season. As for Victor, although he made amends for being an absentee father all the way back in seasons 2 and 3, knowing that he develops such a strong bond with Chris and is so involved in his and Wyatt’s life is so lovely to know. This little sub-plot with the three of them works very well and despite it being in the background rather than the forefront of the episode, it provides a lovely bit of development for all three characters and their relationships.

When you look beyond Alyssa’s somewhat cringe portrayal of young Phoebe and the fact that the criminal plot with her old high school friends is a complete miss, this episode provides some very good characterisation and development for the sisters, Chris and Victor and builds upon some of those important familial relationships with Phoebe and Paige, Victor and Chris, Piper and Victor and Piper and Chris.

It’s a Bad, Bad, Bad World (6x22+23)

A lot of my enjoyment of this episode lies purely in the fact that we get to see a parallel world where we get to see the sisters’, Leo and Chris’ evil counterparts and the Demon of Hope. It’s also a memorable episode in terms of Chris’ death and birth, Leo’s turn to the dark side and the general moral message that the episode contains.

I have a lot of issues with Chris’ plot throughout season 6 and how inconsistent it was and how many plot holes there were, but in this episode he’s very sympathetic and his death is heartbreaking. He sacrifices himself saving Wyatt’s life, which was his main goal from the beginning. It’s good to see that he’s finally developed bonds with the family, and that he dies with Leo by his side given the turbulent nature of their relationship in Chris’ reality.

As for Leo, him murdering Gideon is one of the most interesting things that ever happens to his character. Leo’s goodness can only extend so far and let’s be honest in season 5 and 6 he was screwed over majorly. After working his ass off just to be able to be with the woman he loved and earning that right from the Elders, he was ripped away from his wife and newborn son by a higher calling, he was isolated by Piper he didn’t even tell him she was pregnant and he had to endure the wrath of Chris who hated him for something that he hadn’t even done (Chris’ anger was with the Leo of his reality, not our Leo). After finding out that the very people that had caused most of the issues in his family - the Elders - were also responsible for trying to kill Wyatt and murdering Chris, is it any wonder it sent him over the edge? What I love about this aspect of Leo’s arc is how embedded it is in fatherhood. In fiction there’s always so much emphasis on motherhood and mother-child bonds, and father’s are often cast into the background and those relationships and bonds aren’t explored as much. But Leo’s arc in season 6 is one of fatherhood and I admire that so much, because few male characters have the opportunity to have that kind of storyline. Leo loved his children every bit as much as Piper and was consumed with their safety and happiness to the point that it pushed him to act completely against his morals and commit murder. You often hear how parents will do anything for their children including murder, and Leo goes that far. He proves that when it comes to the love of your children there are no limits on what you’ll do. And honestly, this plot is probably one of my favourites from season 6, it’s just a shame that it wasn’t handled properly in season 7 and was very inconsistent and then kinda randomly dropped to revert him back to the exact same pure, “good” character he was in seasons 1-4.

Obviously throughout the episode there’s a clear moral message regarding the importance of striking a balance between good and evil. It’s a message that’s been conveyed on the show before and that’s symbolised by characters like the Angel of Death and the Cleaners (despite how inconsistent they are with the mythology of the show, but that’s a separate topic). Although the sisters fight on the side of good and kill evil demons, it’s never the end goal to eradicate all evil. There’s an understanding within the Charmed universe and from the sisters themselves that good cannot exist without evil and vice versa. We’ve also seen this within the characters themselves as they struggle with the light and dark inside themselves and the valuable lessons they’ve learned along the way about the interconnectedness of the two. Having evil in the world is how one is good; because they choose to act on their better instincts and morals to promote good. The completely “good” world that the sisters find themselves trapped in is actually awful. Phoebe is shot in the street for parking her car in the way of her neighbours drive, people can be physically harmed and even killed for cursing or simply expressing pessimism. It might seem comical on the surface, but it carries a deep and important message that pure “good” doesn’t exist. If you go to the extreme on either side of the good-evil scale the consequences and results will be disastrous.

Likewise this episode contains a similar message about life and death, which Chris really symbolises. That message is simply that there is no life without death. And although death is unfair and it’s tragic and it’s heartbreaking, for every life lost there is another life being brought into the world.

Overall, season 6 is the first season of Charmed that I can categorically say has more aspects/episodes that I dislike than I like. Like all of these posts, it’s completely subjective, but I don’t really get this season in terms of it’s overall message or the character arcs. Although Charmed always follows a monster-of-the-week format season 6 feels more disjointed than usual and a lack of continuity. You can read more about my thoughts on season 6 and why it’s one of my least favourite seasons here. But I don’t want to end this post on a negative note, so what I will say is that season 6 definitely isn’t all bad. I admire the writers for taking on such a huge challenge with Chris’ plot, I appreciate the exploration of Phoebe’s relationship with Jason as the first “real” mature relationship she had without the interference of magic and just like season 5, this season has a much more “campish” vibe with a ton of light-hearted episodes like The Power of Three Blondes and Witchstock. But in between that there’s exploration of complex issues such as Leo’s absence from his family, Piper’s continuing dilemmas and struggles as a mother, Phoebe’s efforts to strike a balance between work, being a witch and having a social life, Paige’s dedication and perhaps over-investment in being a witch at the detriment of other aspects of her life, Leo’s darkness which is awoken by his fierce love as a father and Chris’ pent up resentment, rage, grief and sadness due to decades of complex family history.

At Arm’s Length (Part 4)

Part 1- Modern!AU

Part 2

Part 3

Pairing: CEO!Bucky x Reader

Genre: angst

Warnings: swearing

Word count: 1597

In the end, Y/N had to switch her phone off, the incessant ringing driving the girl mad. She didn't know what to do. On the one hand, her heart was doing summersaults from happiness, on the other, she just wanted to cry her eyes out at the simple thought of the many miles between her and Bucky. He’d done a thing neither could reverse that easily. And Y/N had enabled his actions, so she had to take at least half the blame. If the woman hadn’t agreed to the announcement party, if she hadn’t allowed him to kiss her cheek, maybe things would’ve gone differently. My Chemical Romance’s ‘Dead!’ started to blast through the little portable speaker and she could only wish to be six feet under. How Y/N was going to deal with the fallout of this situation was beyond her.

Meanwhile, Bucky was not fairing any better. He’d just confessed his love for a girl on live TV even though for the past two months she had been pushing him as far away as possible. But the guy was done. Done with running from his feelings, done with his one true love fleeing, done with being unhappy. Steve patted Bucky on the shoulder bringing the co-owner of ‘Barnes and Rogers’ back to the reality of brightly flashing lights, fancy suits and dress gowns. “That was a bold move, punk. You sure Y/N isn’t gonna come back just to rip your head off?” “Well if she does then phase one is complete- get her back to New York.” A smirk was plastered on his face while his heart stuttered. What if confessing wasn’t enough? What if any grand gesture would always be too little? Bucky was sure he’d wait forever for the Y/E/C eyed beauty, but at the same time, it didn’t mean he would simply give up in the meantime. “And what is phase two?” came the voice of Tony Stark as she sauntered up to the two men, giving the photographers a dazzling smile, proudly having linked his elbow with Pepper. “That… that I’ll figure out…” Tony hummed, extending an arm as a signal for the four to move further down the carpet. “She called me, you know.” Bucky’s head turned so fast he almost got whiplash. “And?” “And she was on the verge of a panic attack. Told her to contact you as soon as possible. So once she calms down, and hopefully gets her three brain cells working, she’ll drop a message. Heaven knows that the girl has never taken her happiness into account. Maybe this was the push she needed.” As the night went by Bucky felt his insides twist more and more with each passing moment. Y/N hadn’t called him nor sent a text message and it made him jittery. Tony, Steve and him announced the merge of ‘Stark Industries’ with ‘Barnes and Rogers’, bringing their focus on the development of prosthetics and artificial limbs. Champagne had flown, merry chatter had flittered through the air, yet all the brown-haired man could feel was nervousness, rather than the joy of this momentous occasion. “What if I totally pushed her away?” he turned to Steve, a glass of white wine sitting on a small table in front of them. “What is she just completely blocks me and never wants to see me again?” The blond sighed, chugging down the last drops of his own alcohol before meeting the gaze onto his best friend. “Listen, you just dropped an atomic bomb on a girl, who without a question is completely head over heels for you. Yet you did it on live TV, while she is away in a different country let alone a continent. You can’t expect Y/N to be completely collected after something like that.” A smaller hand rested atop his. Looking to his left he saw Natasha. The redhead was clad in a deep burgundy cocktail dress, her hair straight and framing the beauty’s face in the most complimentary way. “You did the right thing, Mister Barnes. Y/N… she didn’t even tell me or Wanda that she was moving away. And we were very close. So I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to even think about explaining this situation to her childhood friends, let alone the man she's in love with. Give her a little bit of time. If by the end of the night there is nothing, I promise to fly over there and beat some sense into that head of hers.” Bucky smiled, squeezing Nat’s hand in his bigger one as a silent thank you. But unbeknownst to everybody in the room, silent clicks of cameras immortalised the moment forever.

***

He didn’t stay at the event for much longer, the anticipation of a call or any sort of message from Y/N had become almost physically painful. And as much as he wanted to be the one to contact her first, Bucky knew he had to let the woman process what had just happened. If someone had done it to him, the man was sure, he would’ve passed out. Bucky loosened up the little black bowtie before it completely came off, the small piece of fabric discard somewhere on his beige sofa. He was just about to make himself a drink when his computer lit up, the unmistakable sound of a Skype call shattering the quiet of his house. Immediately he was by the desk, sitting in the armrest and pressing answer. There could only be one person who would wish to communicate with him during such late hours and through Skype. Y/N’s face lit up the screen and Bucky swore he felt his heart melt. It had only been a little over a week since he hadn’t seen her, yet nothing had changed. The woman’s Y/E/C eyes sparkled just as brightly, her Y/H/C hair looked just as soft and her features were just as beautiful as ever. “Doll,” he breathed out, a wide smile splitting up his face. But her reaction was completely opposite of his. “Why would you do something like that?” She sounded so small, broken even and only then did Bucky notice how there were tear streaks marking a way down her cheekbones. “Because I love you. And I’m not going to run anymore. Nor will I let you do it.” Y/N hung her head, the man’s words stinging more than they would’ve if they hadn’t been so painfully true. “You do realise what kind of a problem you just created?” “A problem? Y/N, I just said what my heart felt. I’m in love. And I simply told who I love. Is there anything wrong about it.” “No…” she huffed looking around her new room. Bucky saw a picture of him, Steve and the girl herself, set up on a nightstand, instantly wishing he was actually there with her. “Then what’s so bad about me confessing?” “Because you did it on live TV in front of millions. My phone is unusable because it keeps blowing up. You are my new boss thanks to the merging of yours and Stark's companies, and to top it all off- I’m thousands of miles away! I told you it would never work and now you’ve made a whole nation believe in this Cinderella story but Bucky… I’m not coming back… This is a permanent move. Yes, maybe I’ll have to fly over for some meetings and work stuff, but other than that…” His heart was breaking with every uttered syllable. “Buck, I’m trying to start a new life here. And unfortunately leaving you behind is a thing I have to do. Otherwise, I won’t be able to move on.” “Then you shouldn’t!” Bucky was almost shouting, angry tears rolled down his own face. “Tell me one good reason why” Y/N sat there, eyes boring into her opponent's cerulean gaze. “Because you love me.” The girl hung her head. It was a simple answer. And it was completely and utterly accurate, that is why the clenching in her heart became almost unbearable. With tears in her Y/E/C she looked up at the man. “Well, sometimes that is not enough.” “No,” Bucky shook his head. “It is enough. You’re just scared. And I get it, I completely do. I’m terrified myself, but, fuck… just give us a chance… just one chance.” He saw the conflict raging inside Y/N. It hurt him to see the woman he was utterly infatuated with, in such turmoil and pain, but maybe that is what she needed to allow them to try at least. Yet her response obliterated every piece of hope. “I’m sorry.” The call disconnected leaving Bucky to stare at the black screen of his computer and with a broken heart, thudding harshly in his chest. Instinctively he pressed the little green icon to make a call, but it didn't go through. He tried again and again, but Y/N wouldn’t pick up nor would she respond to any of the messages he sent. It was almost midnight by the time Bucky gave up, a whiskey glass clutched tightly in his palm. Blue orbs scanned the twinkling lights of New York City. He hadn’t even bothered to switch out from the suit, his expensive Calvin Klein button shirt and Hugo Boss pants still adorning the businessman’s body. Bucky ran a palm through his hair, pulling at the dark locks before abruptly he stood up, determination rushing through his body. “That's it,” Bucky placed the empty glass on the marble countertop as he moved to pack a suitcase. “I’m going to Barcelona.”

A/N: A little bit shorter, but still :) I’m so super stressed about everything that I had an absolute meltdown last Saturday like it was bad. And I still don’t feel on the top of everything, so I know, I’m already very inconsistent, but this is a really big problem, like I’ve never felt this bad, so I might actually go and find someone to talk to, like a professional, because I’m practically to tears every night and even during the day.

P.S. tell me what you thought :)

The Stupid Little Things - Part 19/? - Carl Gallagher x Reader

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6 / Part 7 / Part 8 / Part 9 / Part 10 / Part 11 / Part 12 / The rest of the parts

Y/N’s P.O.V

“What the fuck did you do now?”

Lip was tutting by the side of a car as we swanned out of school, middle fingers waggling at the building, Carl’s arm draped across my back.

“You don’t want to know,” I laughed, swinging open one of the back doors and wriggling inside the car.

Carl jumped in the front.

“Try me Y/N,” Lip said, and a small smile stretched across my mouth.

“Nothing out of the usual, Carl’s just an asshole,”

Lip gave me a blank expression and Carl swore at me making me grin from ear to ear.

Sure, he was swearing, but for Carl it was affectionately.

“That’s all your getting Philip,”

He still looked confused so Carl cleared it up for him.

“I kicked some dude’s in the nuts,” Carl said blandly.

Lip looked almost impressed.

“How many guys?”

“Five”

Lip smile and ruffled his hair and I rolled my eyes.

“God what is it with you Gallaghers? You’re supposed to be the responsible one Philip not a fucking enabler,”

Carl spluttered.

“You know you’re the only fucking one who can get away with that Y/N?” He laughed.

“With what?”

“Calling him Philip. He fucking threatens people with their lives if they even dare call him anything but Lip,”

“Shut the fuck up Carl,” Lip said and I smirked smugly.

“Honestly,” Carl said, looking at me from the rear-view mirror “I get the feeling he prefers you to me most of the time,”

I laughed to myself.

“That’s not a feeling Carl. It’s a motherfucking fact,”

“So why the hell are you skipping as well then Little Miss Fucking Perfect?”

“Can you just fucking drive,” Carl said casually “I’m sick to fucking death of this school,”

“You do know you don’t have to swear in every single one of your sentences. Both of you,” I laughed.

“I can do what I fucking want,” Carl grinned back

Lip was still twisted around, staring into my eyes in the back of the car. He was waiting for an answer.

‘Why are you skipping Y/N, I feel on odd obligation to make sure you graduate with a high school diploma,”

I shrugged.

“Friends don’t let other friends do stupid shit alone”

Carl made kissing faces in the front seat but Lip didn’t notice.

“How the hell are either of you supposed to get fucking high school educations if you’re never there?” Lip said, slamming his door shut and putting the keys in the ignition.

Carl shrugged and beamed at me.

“Meh, we’ll survive.”

Me and Lip rolled our eyes simultaneously but we set off.

“Carl,” Lip said.

“What?”

“Stop grinning like that. You look like a fucking asshole”

///

“Y/N!” Carl shouted, trying not to laugh “You’re a fucking crazy bitch!”

“Turn it up!” I shouted ignoring his and Lip’s constant gasps of surprise and awe.

I was stood in the back of the car through the opening in the sunroof, in the open air, arms stretched up into the sky, my hair beating back behind me as we drove through the Southside streets. With my eyes closed and the music loud enough it was almost as though I was flying, as if I wasn’t in the shit tip that we called Chicago, but millions and millions of miles away.

“I said turn it up!” I shouted between giggles as the wind whipped against me “Step on it Lip!”

The car sped up and the music blared louder and I found myself completely lost in the music, swaying and pushing myself closer and closer towards the sky. Carl was sniggering and cheering, Lip making a tune along to the song by beeping the car horn. I was completely and utterly happy. Without really wanting or meaning to I was suddenly singing along to every word, granted I couldn’t even hear myself over the car radio, but it didn’t matter, my eyes where closed and for a split moment I was completely lost, completely immersed.

When I finally opened my eyes, I was met with two pairs glued to my every move. I blushed slightly, stopping singing immediately and starting to sit down, with both Carl and Lip staring up at me with their mouths open an odd look in their eyes that I only ever got when I ate a delicious piece of dessert. They were looking up at me as if I was the sun, and it scared me a little, because they were both looking at me as if I was the only person in the world.

“You didn’t tell me you could fucking sing,” Lip breathed airily and then he caught himself and gulped looking nervous.

I laughed awkwardly.

“Eyes on the road Gallagher’s” I said when neither of them looked away and I grinned “I mean, I know I’m irresistible but keep it in your pants”

They both laughed, and as quickly as the odd atmosphere arrived, it left.

///

“You sure you can’t just come back to ours?” Carl groaned, contorting his body around so that he could see me properly and as much as I wanted to give into to the look in his eyes, I resisted.

“My parents are being…well yeah… it’s a tense atmosphere in my house,” I didn’t want to talk about, I wasn’t about to throw myself a pity party.

“All the more reason to stay,” Carl continued and I writhed my hands. I was actually considering staying in the car, driving past my new block which was only a couple of minutes away now.

But then my phone started to vibrate.

I motioned to the boys that I had to take it, pressing my cell to my ear and almost turning white as I heard the voices screaming back at me. A few moments later and I wanted to be sick.

“You know… I just need to … um I need to…” Both Gallaghers shot around to face me “Can I get out here?”

I pulled myself together quickly and put the façade back up. Everything was fine. Nothing was wrong here.

“Y/n?” Carl said, “Are you okay?”

I forced myself to smile as Lip slowed down to a halt.

“Yeah! I’m fine! I just promised my mom I’d help her cook dinner tonight, so I’ll just walk back now.”

They were both sceptical.

“How tense is tense?” Lip said and I made myself grin harder.

“Not that bad really, just typically marital arguements about toilet seats and shopping lists. Honestly guys, relax.”

“You sure?” Carl said with kind eyes and I laughed a little.

“I’m fucking sure Carl Gallagher,” I said about to get out before Lip stopped me.

“I can drop you off closer if you want,” he said and I smiled at him.

“They still don’t know I’m talking to you guys again,” I said and they nodded, so I actually got out that time.

“Later dickheads!” I called breezily and they flipped me off still laughing, before speeding off ahead of me.

I’d managed to keep my shit together

Carl’s P.O.V

Y/N had been out of the car for exactly ten seconds when Lip hit me around the side of my fucking head.

“What the fuck was that for?” I shouted, clasping at either side of my head for protection. It didn’t hurt, I just hadn’t been fucking expecting it.

“You kissed her didn’t you. Fucking admit it!”

“What? How the fuck could you have possibly kno-“

“I saw the way she was fucking looking at you. What the fuck where you thinking Carl?”

We were driving much faster than we should have been and I found myself becoming increasingly angry with my brother.

“So what? I kissed her big deal,”

“Carl! You don’t get it do you? It is a big deal?”

I was mad now.

“And why’s that?”

“The last time you hurt her, she didn’t come back and see any of us, okay any of fucking us for two years. And because you can’t keep your dick in your pants we are going to lose her all over again.”

“I’m not going to fucking hurt her!”

“Too right you won’t, I’ll snap your legs in fucking two before you do that.”

He was completely straight faced and staring at the road.

“Jesus fucking Christ Lip! What the hell’s wrong with you. It was only a kiss, it didn’t mean anything,” I said.

“It didn’t mean anything?” he repeated and I was unsure whether that made him more mad or not.

‘No it didn’t”

Lip took a deep breath, shaking his head a little and raising his eyebrows.

“Does she know that?”
