#hope this isnt bad or cringey

what about a flirty reader with V? how would that go?

FLIRTY READER X V

Since she's only keeping you around because Uzi threatened her and N would be sad, she wants nothing to do with you at first.

When you compliment her looks, she looks shocked, calls you a weirdo, but doesn't leave.

Your initial flirtations make her, indeed, blush. They also make her smack you in the arm or face. Not hard enough to cause any real damage, but enough to hurt.

V thinks that you're just trying to be nice at first, maybe even messing with her like she has with you so many times.

Once she realizes you actually mean them, she's blushing more and not hitting you nearly as hard, if at all

She starts to return the favor, little things like "You're not so bad yourself" and holding your hand a little tighter. Wait, you're holding hands? She didn't remember doing that. She's not pulling her hand away though.

If things get a bit more suggestive when flirting, she might return to her old ways of wanting you to shut up, but she shoots you a smile afterwards of interest.

Once, after one of your better attempts at flirting with her, she grabbed you by your collar with her talons and that bright 'X" across her vision. Her sharp teeth glimmered in the light shining in the dark onto Copper-9. "You're playing with fire~"

not to shill for tumblr or be a mobile user on main but i do just wanna point out i think the response to the dashboard clown thing is a little disproportionate, all things considered

like if you just dont like the show thats fine but the way some of these posts are worded very weirdly and acting like its somehow way worse than.....literally any of the other ads? like yea tumblr is a company and not your friend, netflix is unethical and sucks. but like. are we pretending tumblr hasnt had ads for like. horrible fad diets and the fucking trump coin and god knows what else but like this really isnt worse than like. the fact that ppl with strobing triggers are constantly endangered by the ads on this site.

and maybe its super bad on desktop or something but so far this ad campaign has actually been one of the less obtrusive ones vs their other ads, imo. I dont think ive really seen them in between the posts on my dashboard? (hard to tell bc I try to automatically ignore those anyway) but like it feels like most of this ad campaign has been. a little fictional character at the top of the dashboard. and like. a separate dashboard "tab".....that i dont have to look at, and i dont. and its fine. i barely even noticed it. i probably wouldnt have thought twice about it if everyone hadnt started complaining about it. if tumblr wants to do more ads that are just dashboard tabs that I dont actually have to look at and arent interrupting my main dash i think im fine with that actually. like. obviously no advertisements are better than ads but like i dont have a particular problem with the structure or honestly even the content of this ad. its for a show that i might be intrigued to watch honestly. but its also not being targeted to me personally based on data harvesting its just blanket targeting to everyone.

again, id prefer no ads, but if we're going have them: i would actually prefer it be for things i might be interested in, but without the data harvesting to do it. if i HAVE to see ads, this is a way that i dont mind as much.

I dont know why youve leapt to assuming this post was about the workplace? the original post mentioned friends, family, and going out for drinks, and it feels a bit like a bad faith read to assume this meant for you to try to talk about weird niche TV show interests to your boss, when it seems far more likely to be a post about not letting cringe culture rule your entire life, in a time when its so common for ppl to let themselves become beholden to tiktok microtrends, and being terrified that theyll lose all their friends if anyone finds out they enjoy steven universe.

It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.

Hello! Firstly I wanted to say that I'm an old fan since your overwatch days and I've always admired how much depth you're giving all the characters and relationships you touch! I'm talking like, mariana trench DEPTHS. And how confident you seem about just doing the things you enjoy and exploring the themes you want? I really respect that.

I'm having a bit of an art crisis recently and I was wondering If you could offer some advice?

I'm thinking about self-indulgence in art, particularly fanart. I like to dive in deep to expand on characters, I find it as enjoyable as creating my own work. But I fear of people getting angry at me for latching onto these characters, thay they'll say the original work wasn't THAT deep, or that I'm completely wrong or cringe or whatever. And I don't care about being right or anything, I just want to have fun here and tell my little stories? :( The fear is making me keep the work to myself and I don't know what to do. Would it be better to just enjoy it on my own?

Your blog really is goals when it comes to that, so I'll respect your opinion a lot. Thank you for your time!

holy moly thank you so much for your sincerity first of all!! Second, this is making me misty eyed ngl!! I have alot to say about this so i shall put it under a read more bc im gonna ramble

If someone cares about you fixating on your fave characters, then they're usually the fucking weirdos in this situation if they dont just block you and move on. I LOVE making shit up about my faves like i have a modern au hc that kakashi and gai are ddr competition rivals and i gave yeehan 7 dogs just for funsies!! we were in the trenches in early overwatch making up our own lore bc there was none and it was so fun

I've always been like that now that i look back bc when i first started uploading my shitty ms paint fanart on deviant art in like 2006(naruto funnily enough we've come full circle) i was still drawing cringey shit /I/ wanted to see. I don't agree with almost all of it today, but i remember the fun i had while making it, and that's really the trick. Drawing what you personally want to see then people can come and go audience wise. If they like it, they like it, if they dont? oh well! There's people who still follow me from when i was 14 and i follow them even tho we're in completely different spaces now.

The fanart part i vibe with personally bc im really bad at coming up with totally original work and premises. i much prefer having pre-established rules and worlds to work with (plus the characters i love getting massacred in the writing i HAVE to save them)

Just existing online will garner you mean comments or asks, and my best advice is its not worth it to take the bait even if its absolutely absurd and wrong, i just block and go now, and im much happier :) this all being, of course, as long as what you're doing isnt harmful, bc even with good intentions, you'll mess up/blunder eventually. If the heat gets too much for you, no one will judge you for withdrawing your art from social media. thats a perfectly safe thing to do to keep it for yourself.

As an adult, shits not that serious im 28 drawing naruto fanart bc it makes me happy after a long day of work, so have fun!! art's supposed to be fun don't let the fear win i love sharing my art with strangers on the internet!! Hope this made any sense at all and I wish you the best, my friend!!! If you ever wanna dm me, feel free

i was really hoping they'd make rose like. a normal trans person. and mention it once and breeze past it. instead of interjecting about assuming pronouns. and god forbid if a trans person is in a show then they have to carry the entire plot with their transness. i rolled my eyes more times than i can count, it was so cringey. and im saying this AS a trans person. bad representation isnt representation imo. loved everything else though.

[tadpolesonalgae]

i think we'll get a vanserra book like if the next one is really elriel then i hope we get a lucien and eris book focused on their family because there's so much interesting plot there. the helion and loa mess, killing beron and eris becoming high lord, lucien finding out he's the day court heir, everyone seeing eris isnt really all that bad, seeing their whole dynamic in the past + how it would change, seeing eris make autumn a better place, finding out more about the other brothers (if they're as bad as their father or like eris faking it). we wouldn't even really need luci or eris to get any romance partners for it to be a really good book (idk if i trust sjm to do it righ tho) - 🧶

Honestly I’d love it if Az just stayed on his own for a little 🫢 give me a non-cringey self love story for him where he recovers his self-esteem without getting into an inevitably messy tangle with probably either Elain or Gwyn. Let Elain enjoy standing on her own too, after being in love with Graysen for so long and expected to get with a man, let her enjoy being by herself with friends instead of romantic partners and let Gwyn become more comfortable in the outside world! I want Gwyn to come see Velaris at some point, to recover enough to begin venturing out into the world again and healing!!

(Sorry for that tangent)

And I would LOVE a Vanserra book! Let me see more of Eris and Lucien interacting, let me see how Beron treats them, let me see what Eris and his mother’s relationship is!! It’s mentioned she’s rarely lucid—is that difficult for Eris? He shifted to be a little infront of her at the high lord’s meeting—does Beron ever wield LoA against Eris? There’s so much!! Will Lu ever get to see his mother again??

I know what you mean about maybe not trusting sjm though unfortunately… :/ if she could channel what she did with tog I think that would be more enjoyable? Let us just see everyone getting along together instead of using every book to have a romance sub plot 🫠

THE INTERNAL FIGHT I HAD WITH MYSELF OVER THOSE OPTIONS IS SO CONCERNING 😭😭 /sillywilly

i had to pick a neutral option because i feared like, its so stupid, but i had this thing say like "ohh wings are like so important to our relationship with apollon lets choose that" but then like "ok but if we get close enough to asmodeus for nicknames & symbols or whatever then we'll feel bad so" does that make sense????? im sorry lol

i decided to go with🦉because owls are my newest special interest at the moment, i hope thats ok!! (& speaking of nicknames, THANK YOUUU for wanting to give me a proper way of addressing, i love nicknames so much, ugh)

but, i don't wanna overwhelm you or anything with my questions, so i'll for 1 make this the last one for the day, and 2, do you have boundaries do you have that i should keep in mind?

and, you said anything can be devotional, how i can decide whats big and whats not.. thats so freeing but so worrying lol. like we know, i cant practice openly, so i try to do "discreet" things. for apollon, i paint for him, devote a plush and give offerings of matching jewelry, ect. i find it super easy to do devotional things! but, with the way i've seen people paint infernals in general online, it scares me to think i'll be like "my king!! (insert nickname or smth), i made you this!" or "i did this in honor of you!" and him going "... ok??"

i actually used to work with dionysus! (i plan to continue when i move out, but,) unfortunately i did have to distance myself and focus on a single deity, because i suck at multi-tasking my worship, and i have a serious fear of spending "too much" time with a deity, or, "too little." i don't want any of my deities to feel "unloved" or something because i feel shy or something around them at first.

i don't wanna seem weird, or cringey. especially with how sometimes i'll have to just randomly put up my pendulum or something in the middle of a conversation because my mom walked in or something.

i've seen a lot of people say "oh lucifer hates people with trauma" or something, and i know asmodeus isnt lucifer, but it's a little scary to think i'll end up ugly-crying in front of him one day and he's just gonna disappear. i really hate the thought of being abandoned, especially by my deities, so i get so skeptical of them at some point. like, apollon was reassuring me like 5 times a day or something that he wasn't tricking me, hating me, going to just pack his bags and dip out randomly, ect. and it scares me to think asmodeus is going to see my trauma, and, idk, laugh? i know it ultimately comes up to how our relationship goes, but, i genuinely feel safe with king, he doesn't scare me, per say. i just, don't know.

.. sorry if i got a little too heavy or something there! but, thank you so much for being really attentive to my long asks. it means a lot! i really appreciate the help <3

-🦉

Hi Nonnie!! I'll cover the non-religious here, then under the cut I'll dive into the ask!

I really like the Owl you chose! I wanted to keep your options narrow cause decisions scare me ^^"

I always, on all of my accounts, try to keep answers as long as I can; sometimes it's hard!

It means alot you'd even consider my boundaries!!

Honestly, I don't really care what's in my inbox! Vents, asks, questions, comments, corrections, concerns! I love it all!! If someone wanted to DM me I'd be ok there too! My only really trigger religion wise is cults, though I won't be getting into that ^^"

It's a very valid concern to worry about spending "too much" or "too little" time with your deities. I worry about that all the time with my five about to be six! I think you made the right choice going for something neutral!

I also understand, the gut wrenching fear of a deity abandoning you. It's not necessarily abandoning you. Many deities come with lessons, and once they've taught you their lessons, they'll leave.. It's sad, and hurts. When Lucifer and Lilith left me, it took everything in my power to not bawl. It hurt, but they had taught me what I needed to know, and knew I would be ok without them by my side.

Deities may be made out as if they don't want anything to do with your life outside of worship, but that's how you build a more personal relationship! Ugly crying in front of your deities isn't anything to apologize for, it's human. Naturally and truly human. You don't have to apologize for being human.

Deity work is alot, but i truly believe you'll make it through without being abandoned.

You can decide what's "big" and "little" based off anything! Expense, size, how it looks, etc!

All of these things can make something a big or little offering or devotion. But even if something dedicated to a deity isn't indicative of how worthy it is of a deity!

I think that's about all i have for this ask, very sorry it's so short!! Blessed Be 🦉 Nonnie

[its-snicket-here]

after you posted that pandoras actor post i cant stop thinking about supreme being!reader who seems very quiet and collected, and they get asked like "what… do you see in pandoras actor????" and they just go full Jessica Rabbit mode and say "He makes me laugh." (this isnt a request unless you want it to be, this is just a random idea i liked btw) I imagine having someone like Pandora's Actor could refreshing ???????? because everything else that happens with Ainz is too intense. Sometimes you need some cringe in your life. Its good for your soul. Maybe smooch it even.

I still have PTSD from my Creepypasta phase, Hetalia phase, and my edgy/emo/"depressed" phase all together. Every single day I think about it, I curl up in cringe and wish I never remember it in my life.

BUT ANYWAYS

Y E S

I personally see (and hope that everyone sees) that PA is honestly a refresher, because honestly, he seems more... human like than anybody else ironically. He doesn't necessary follows orders without any questions, as he is willing to question orders if needed - but also like, EMBARRASS AINZ BECAUSE HE WAS BUILT LIKE THAT, DESPITE BEING MONSTERS.

I also see that PA is like... an embarrassing remainder of Ainz's more human side. Despite all the exterior of being the wise, powerful, monstrous, all knowing being, it's nice to being smooch by humanity a bit. Just to take a break from the position he's in forcefully. Away from Albedo, away from Shalltear, away from Demiurge, away from everybody that sees him differently. He just want to be known as Momonga, not Ainz Ooal Gown.

10/10 recommend 2 hours under PA's bubble to feel human again with a smooch and a constant reminder of your cringey moments.

I'm also going to flesh this idea out more, sorry this came out shitty qwq

"U-uhm, pr-pretty lady?"

"Hm?"

The date was unknown during the time when that child asked... everything was fuzzy when you tried to remember that memory. All you remember was the warmth it gave you when you remembered that child. The warmth of feeling human again...

That child was playing with your hair, no, attaching flowers in your hair when they asked. You were surprised when that child didn't fear you when the two of you met. You were an arachne, half spider half human, and still no fear were sensed. That child intrigued you heavily to the point where it became a daily thing to visit them... during the day? No... Night time... It was night time you always come visit. They... They lived in a village where the population wasn't that much, but big enough where... large farms... existed.

"Why do you feel happy when you talk.... P-pandora A-actor?" Your lower body's fangs clicked quietly, almost as it was a laugh when you were questioned about that. A pure soul...

"Well, he makes me laugh... Of course, he also reminds me too much of my... old... friends..." You dabbled on. "He makes me feel like a human. Honestly a breather from my duties as a supreme leader, despite cringing on my friend's creation." The concept of time would seem to not exist when you dabbled on about him while the child would play with your hair.

"One day..." You chattered on, "One day you will get the chance to see him..." The hands on your hair seems to ghost on you once you snap back to reality.

The grass tumbles and tussles against the cold night air. You couldn't see how dark or light the night is due to your blindness, but on instinct you could tell it was dark. You clicked softly, frowning at your own hopefulness. You were alone where a village once known to exist where gone, yet still here you are still at the same spot where the two of you met. In your hands was a messily drawn image of him, though it was slightly crumpled through your reminisce.

"I promised you that you would see him one day..." You said quietly. The grass continued to tussle and tumble in the wind, almost like a quiet melody to hide the silence in the village. "... I'm sorry if the drawing is bad because of my distraction, I can redraw it again when I come visit you one day..."

The pile of stones with many small gifts seems to beg to differ though...

(this has no spoilers for the recent cs update! cool beans)

i just read your cs analysis thingyyyyys and based. but thats a given ur the author literally. but i find the eye of the storm thing so alluring because from a literal standpoint, the eye wall is the worst part of the storm. meaning the worst i behind and ahead of csranboo

and yea thats a much too literal look at it

so instead i will think about how storms only last so long, and while they feel like eternity they are nothing compared to the days, weeks, months, and years it takes to recover from them. and, yea and okay another very literal thought after storms, particularly disastrous ones, its very common for people to bond together quickly to take care of their community. like legit a morning after a hurricane everyone is checking on their neighbors, even if youve never talked.

so i think that whatever happens next, no matter what it is, there will be healing for these little guys, and they'll figure it out. cuz they have each other.

anyway ive said absolutely nothing that hasnt been established but i like talking so take this ask i guess before my laptop dies rip (ALSOOOOO I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY sending you the best of vibes. pretend sparkle emojis are here)

right yeah!!! i don't know how well i've done saying that the worst is behind ranboo, but i definitely think we're hitting a point where shit gets Really Bad so that it gets better, y'know?

and yeah! the storm doesn't last forever at all, but there's a lot of things broken down, and not to like reference my own analysis like a cringey bitch but like... part of that metaphor is the idea that preconceived notions and relationships with people get pulled apart just so you reconstruct them. some of the upcoming chapters are genuinely so fucking cathartic to me already because i get to really explore ranboo's character more than i've gotten to explore it so far. there's a lot that has to be addressed there and there's a lot unreliable narration has hidden and i'm excited to show you all that

and yes yes the little guys will be okay!! i think the interesting thing about beeduo in the fic rn is that even when the two of them are really struggling (which has like, to be honest! has had a noticeable impact on their dynamic even if just referenced in fleeting thoughts!), the two love each other enough that they would rather confront shitty things they want to ignore than risk losing one another.

especially since yk both of them are paranoid about losing one another which, well! that sure is interesting isnt it? :)

anyway yeah :D

[reddish-green-personality]

I never spoke in class or in gatherings because I was afraid I would say something cringey or worse everyone would state at me like "wtf is she" but I always make sure I talk nicely to anyone who talks to me (I may even end up overdoing it but better safe than sorry)

But now I found out that they think I am a bitch who doesn't talk to others. Bro I don't have even confidence to be a bitch (〒﹏〒)

What is the most best and acceptable social behaviour? How to do small talk? How to not be overly nice and responsive to anyone who talks to you?

Id just like to assure you by saying that, you not wanting to talk to peole is not a bitchy thing to do, AT ALL. Its called being reserved and is 100% very much a common thing

And, I know me saying this wont be of any help unless you realize it yourself, but peoples judgment are not under your control at all That goes for both compliments and insults.

Even if you are an angel, some people are gonna not like you Even if you are a devil, some people are gonna love you

So other's judgment isnt at all a good measuring tool of your capabilities and your personality,

So coming to your questions- vvvvv

Q1, What is the most best and acceptable social behaviour?

the most best and acceptable social behaviour, is empathy To me, its one of the few things that are necessary for being an a social group So thats something you need to pay close attention to while talking to someone. Empathize with their Joys and sorrows, and youll be bonding in no time

Q2, How to do small talk?

small talk is a very bumpy process and there isnt much of a clear rulebook, but small talk works best when you listen well, and talk around topics that you can connect back to them, and are generally enthusiastic about their interest. you cant be selfish here. Like, as an example, if someone were to start talking bts with me, i am an absolute idiot when it comes to bts but, i would show enthusiasm and interest. And then if i was told to talk, id talk about someone i know who has collabedwith bts, but wont directly startoff with that. Start about that artist completely far away from bts, and END your side of the convo with bts, so that that feel the closure of conversation, and shows them that you listened, and Heard about what they were talking about

Q3, How to not be overly nice and responsive to anyone who talks to you?

well, always be looking for hints, and cadences in tone, be it irl or texting. If its something somber, about their bad day, dont interject at all, even with a hmm. Let them talk, and you collect your thoughts to form a proper constructive reply that covers all the stuf they jsut talked about. Be nice and polite and let them talk, but dont be a pushover all the time. Do convey that you have something to talk about too, and see if they let you.

its like a subtle game of chess for politeness. Dont go too far, but also dont be a dick either

Hope that helped !!

In Pursuit of Innocence

Chapter 1

don't paint me in solid colors

Lexi hadn't seen Rue at their english ap class or their chemistry lab later that day and was now looking for her in the dining room. She wanted to give her a copy of the play shed mentioned in the bathroom a few days ago and hoped she would read it so she could get a few hints on her current state. Rue believed she was fooling everyone, but Lexi knew she wasn't sober and she decided this time she wasn't going to stay quiet, hopefully the play would be enough and she wouldn't have to confront her directly about the topic. She sat down next to Jules and Elliot hoping Rue would eventually arrive.

“Hey, have you seen Rue? I really wanted to give her something and she wasn't in any of our classes this morning.” She kept her eyes locked on both of them. Something was off.

“Em, no I didn't see her bike either so she probably skipped school today.” Jules' tone told her that she didn't think it was a big deal, but Lexi knew Rue wasn't allowed to skip school. She had to check in every morning with the principal due to her overdose last year.

“Oh, well if you see her could you please tell her to call me or answer my texts?” She tried to sound casual, but she was starting to worry and was debating calling her house to check if she was there, but her mom could pick the phone and then she would know Rue wasn't doing as great as she wanted everyone to believe. She walked to her locker to change her books for her afternoon classes and thought about texting Fez, maybe he had an idea of Rue’s whereabouts and she could avoid confronting Rue's mom.

“Hey Fez ! It’s Lexi ! From New Year's Eve.” Eww to cringey of course he knew her, she went and ambushed him at the store the other day.

“Have you seen Rue?” - ok no, too mean

“Heyy Fez, Lexi , have you seen Rue ?” Ahhh Lexi you’re stressing too much, He's. NOT. Even. Available. Chill.  Whatever, just send it.

"Heyy Fez, this is Lexi ! Have you seen Rue, she's not at school so maybe you've seen her?" Yes this isnt bad, send it.

She went to her math class and focused on the board so she would forget about her phone.

Doing math helped her quiet her mind and stop worrying for a while, so at the end of the class she checked her phone. Fez had answered.

Lexi H. : "Heyy Fez, this is Lexi ! Have you seen Rue, she's not at school so maybe you've seen her?"

Fez: “Yo lexi”

Fez: “no sorry”

Fez:“Is she missing missing?”

Lexi H. : “Yes, she didn't come to school today and she has to check in”

Lexi H. : “Im worried she might be in trouble”

Lexi H. : “She hasn't been clean for a while and im worried”

Fez: “yeah i know”

Fez: “i'll leave ash to look after the store and look fo her”

Lexi H. : “I'll go with you, could you pick me up near the school?”

Fez: “nah you don't have to get into this lexi”

Fez: “don't need to skip your school”

Lexi H. : “I only have one class left, please im worried”

Lexi H. : “She's been my friend for a long time”

Lexi H. : “I want to do something this time”

Fez: “ok i'll pick you up next to the mini mart”

Lexi H. : “Ok see you there”

Lexi's heart was racing, she was going to skip school and go on a hunt for her addict best friend with a drug dealer. It didn't sound like her at all, but she cared about Rue and it was the right thing to do.

She walked through the hallway opposite of her classroom and went out, it was sunny and cold. Perfect weather to go scouting for your friend she thought sarcastically. The nerves started climbing up her legs and arms making it harder to walk fast. The minimart was only a block away, there weren't many cars or people, and even if there were no witnesses she felt observed. The sound of her loafers against the concrete quickened as well as her breathing, there was no sign of Fez on the street. Waiting next to the trash containers would cover her from most angles and seemed to be her best option until Fez would come for her. A few cars passed the street until a goldish brown Cadillac stopped in front of the mart so she came out of her hiding spot and waved at Fez.

“What's up Lexi! “Fez stepped out of the car and opened the passenger door for her.

“Come in here, how've you been?”

Now she had a mixture of nerves and bubbles in her stomach. His eyes locked on hers and she felt her face get warmer. Keep it together  Lexi you're not here to flirt you are looking for your friend, plus there's that blond girl remember. Hes. not. Available.

“I'm good, yeah…. Em you? “Why the fuck did she smile so much??!!

“It's been a weird week, but yeah good overall, and em don't worry about Rue we'll find her fast.”

Fez closed her door and went around the front of the car to sit in the driver's seat. The sound of the engine and the door locking startled. He looked at her and smiled, his blue eyes locked on hers again. “Yes i bet she's probably at Ali’s house or maybe at the NA meeting building.” That was a lie, if she was on drugs again there's no way she'd go there, but checking didn't hurt.

Yeah I also got a few places I think she might be. The car started moving towards the NA meeting site and the stereo was playing rap music at a low volume.

“Um you can change the music if you want.”

“No it's ok, I like rap, this is good.”

The sound of the engine and the music were drowned by the tension of the silence between them until Fez rescued them both

“So how was school today? Interesting?”

“Yeah mostly, um I was a bit distracted by the absence of Rue, but it kept me focused and eased  my mind for a while. Um, I saw Jules and Elliot at lunch and I also finished a play i've been writing.”

“Yeah I remember Jul I don't know who that Elliot man is. That's cool Lex em… do you think i could read it sometime? ”

Ok now she could feel her cheeks burning,

“Yes, I'll print you a copy!” She began to edit the play in her mind. Fez wasnt stupid hed probably figure out that Graces’ love interest was him. She changed a lot of things, but mostly so people at school wouldn't be able to figure out the similarities. The thought of Fez reading or seeing it never crossed her mind.

“It's not great, but i wanted to do something different this year, plus the drama club always does the same boring play so i just went for it.”

“You go Lex and don’t be doing that again, i thought we’d covered that in new years.”

“What?” His eyes found hers again. She smiled. Fuck the blond girl. She thought.

“All the second guessing shit and whatnot.”

“Yeah , I'm sorry it's a habit I'm trying to break. Sort of a new year's resolution.”

He smiled at her.

“Aight if you stop i'll stop beating punk's faces “

Lexi let out a laugh

“In my defense he had it coming and he deserved more.”

“Yeah probably, but it's still bad, don't you think?”

“I mean generally yeah, but he's the exception to the rule.”

“Ok you win, it's a deal.” She stretched her hand towards him

“Deal.” He took his right hand off the steering wheel and took lexis hand.

His hand was bigger than she thought and felt rough against her fingers, his fingers were long and freckled with clean short nails.

We're here. He got out of the car towards Lexis' side while she opened the door. The sun was behind him making a shadow of his front and he stretched his hand, lexi took it and stepped out of the car.

The building was plain. You couldnt expect much from a NA center but the secrets and sorrows it held were embedded in its architecture and color scheme. Fez opened the door and let her through, following her towards a table that functioned as a reception.

There was an old lady sitting down reading a book.

“Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt, I'm Lexi! I'm looking for a friend and I think she could be here. Do you think you could help me see if she's here?”

“Hi sweety. Yes, if you could give me a name I could see if she checked in today or if someones seen her around.”

“Yes, it's Rue Bennet. She's around my age, tall, skinny, wild hair, nice smile.”

She turned her head towards Fez pleading for help with her eyes.

Fez moved his hands with the palms facing down in a gesture telling her to calm down.

“Well she's not in the check in book, but let me ask a few people if they've seen her. “

“Yes thank you i'll wait here. “

Her back was now facing the table and she looked at Fez.

“I don't think she's here at all. I mean if i were using drugs again i'd probably go anywhere, but here. I just really hoped what I was imagining wasn't true”.

“Yeah i dont think shes here either, but it's always good to check maybe someday the best case scenario could be true.”

“Yeah, it's tough with Rue, especially because she's so convincing. She was different when we were younger”.

“Yeah I bet. I met her after her dad died and everything, so i wouldn't really know the difference, but even this version of her has good things you know. Nothins’ always good or bad, it's a mix.”

“Yes I can see how the good parts are the same, it's part of her essence”

.

His eyes met hers and she redirected them towards the end of the hall.

“How's Faye?”

“Who?”

“Faye, em the blond girl that's staying with you?”

“Oh yeah, em she 's good I guess. Ash isn't very happy about it, but it's not forever so whatever hell be fine.”

Well at least now she knew he didn't have a long term commitment in his mind, but it didn't make him available so it didn't matter. Hes. not. Available. She clapped in her mind

“How long have you been… you know like together or with each other or something.” She shook her head, that was so awkward.

“Who ? Ash? I mean he's not my brother brother you know, but since he was probably like two or three? Or what you mean…. Sorry I'm confused here... What? “

“No em like you and Faye. It's not important, I was just wondering. Sorry if i'm being intrusive you don't have to answer.”

“What? No no she's not. I mean I'm just doing her boyfriend a favor, he's an associate and he needed to lay low for a while so she's staying with us until he's fixed everything. No, I don't have anyone. It's just Ash and I, and my grandma.”

Lexi’s smile defied gravity, her eyes locked with Fez’s and for the first time she didn't look away. She could swear Fez was smiling too only more discreetly, but his eyes were smiling as much as her mouth and now she didn't have any excuse.

He. IS. available. Her mind clapped.

“Sweety, no one has seen her here today. I'm sorry, from what some people told me she's having a hard time. I hope you find her well.” The old lady smiled and sat at the table.

Her bubble burst. Fez was free, but Rue was missing and she needed to focus and help her friend. That was the right thing to do.

LINK TO MASTERLIST

The small moments they spend as the sun sets at the house party, as they talked about life, tv-shows, good memories, cringey moments and life is one of the best moments for her. The moments followed, was a series of smiles caught in-between shifts, as their hands brushed on the nurses counter, or the introduction of 50s movies that made her smile, including a monologue of Danny reciting the lines of a damsel in distress that made her heart leapt in joy.

She had Wayne, but the feeling with him cant be compared as he made her feel unimportant, as if there is a barrier in between that keeps on stopping her from seeing the light. Danny Cardinal is a different one, a new presence that somehow she didn’t know she needed. Someone who sees her more than Wayne ever does, someone who appreciates her talents along with their quirky interests that made them compatible one way or another.

She never told her roommates, the day they went out to Donahue together, a moment of silence as Sienna finally had the courage to invite him for a drink, after her break-up with Wayne. She wasn’t ready to move on yet, but…she felt like she needed a friend. Someone to talk too, someone who she could relate in a way, and that’s where Danny Cardinal made his entrance.

‘I just break up with my long-time boyfriend..’ It suddenly slips out of her tongue, somehow she was wallowing it after their confrontation with Casey earlier.

He wasn’t ready. He didn’t expect that news would drop as they just finished work.

‘OH-, are you okay? Do you need anything, we could go back if you want!’ His voice filled with caution, as he tries to comfort her in the most awkward way he could think of at the moment.

Sienna smiles at his reaction, it was a mixture of cute and adorable which she is aware that it is similar. A laugh stifle out of her, as Danny smiles too. Mirroring her expression, he found himself being very careful as he slips his fingers into her, giving her a squeeze, equivalent to the saying, ‘everything is going to be alright.’

She felt happy, a different kind of happiness. That night was the start of it all, a small gesture that is worth more than a thousand words. It was called, something new. She recalls the small gesture, when she is down, or mad, or even sad, as a way to assure herself that she is going to be alright.

Until that unfortunate day, the fear in her started to show as seeing her best friend, and him there in the room somehow being sacrificed for an evil plan. She recalls their small talks the night before, as he was seen bringing her a cup of coffee after the long day they both had, their small talks is something normal in other people’s eyes, as it is an escape for them into the world.

‘A cup of brownie chocolate drink for one Sienna Trinh?’ His voice in a sing-song as he passed the cup to her.

‘…And, a cup of Hazelnut Latte for Danny Cardinal courtesy of Casey, and her access to Dr. Ramsey’s coffee machine.’ She whispered the last part of the sentence making him laugh as his voice boomed through the empty hospital hallways.

‘Free coffee too, count me in?’ Danny said happily taking a sip of his drink, as Sienna does the same.

‘How was your day?’ She asked, as they walked through the hallways; one of the reasons she manages to keep herself sane after all the insanity from her day as a second-year resident.

‘It was…’ He went silence, as he took another sip before continuing.

‘The Senator’s case. It was odd, and weird. I know I shouldn’t questioned anything, but he gave me some bad vibes, including his assistant Travis, they both kinda gave me a weird vibe. I felt like Travis was lurking his way down the halls, somehow searching for something… and it creeps me out.’ A shiver escaped him, as they arrived at the quiet cafeteria.

‘I heard about him, he is the one who came from Mass Kenmore right?’ Sienna asked, recalling the info Casey told her about her heist with Baz at MK.

He nod, taking another sip.

‘How was yours?’

She lets out a sigh, followed by a groan.

‘I am guessing, it was bad..?’ His voice slowly, as Sienna nods in return.

‘It wasn’t horrible, but…it felt tiring. I just feel like I have to do everything and Mitch isn’t helping one bit, and there is this kid, he is suffering with all these decisions and... ugh!’ She lets out a groan of frustration once more, earning an ‘I’m sorry’ look on Danny’s face.

She tried to plastered a smile on her face, an attempt to make herself look stronger. But, somehow she felt like she can’t fake it, a part of her wanted to fake a smile, and just brushed the topic off.

‘You know you don’t have to be strong in front of me Sienna, it’s okay to be sad once in a while…’ Danny stated with a slow tone, a comforting one.

‘Doctors were supposed to be strong, its our job to be strong for our patients…’

‘And yet, we are humans Sienna. We can cry, smile, laugh and get ourselves angry because we are human. Those feelings are valid, and it means you are you. There is honestly nothing wrong with that okay?’ Danny moved to the opposite side of the table, taking a seat beside her. In a split second, she founds herself leaning onto the comfort of his hugs. The universal language that will never gets old, kisses are great and all, but… hugs are even better. He place his arms around her shoulder, as the cold environment around them was a hazy memory.

‘You know you give good hugs don’t you Danny?’ Sienna said in between the hugs, as their drinks started to cool off.

‘Hey, its apart of who I am! Don’t tell Bryce, he once told me that he was the best hugger in Edenbrook.’ A laugh stifled out of her once more, her troubles were behind.

‘Don’t worry, besides Casey; you are definitely a close second.’ She winks at him, as they enjoyed their presumably final moments together.

It was almost dawn, as both of their pagers were paged at the same time. Both of them rushed, at the same time trying to keep in moment as they enjoyed their small company together without any interruptions from the real world.

A few minutes after, they arrived at their pin-point where they would have to say ‘goodbye’. In that moment, without hesitation; a gut feeling inside told her; hug him. It can somehow be your last time seeing his face.

He looks at her in disbelief at first, but who ever declines a hug? He hugs her back, the feeling of comfort that somehow the key of keeping both of them sane is one ways or another. A gesture that she would love to get used to, hugging Danny. Maybe more than the other. After a while, they pulled away. A small smile linger on her face, as she left the nursing station; a contained feeling in her heart. She turns her head back, meeting his eyes once more. He waves from afar, as she waves back as they resume their lives.

And, that morning was the last time she saw his face. The last time she would feel his touch, the final cup of coffee together, and… their final hug. As Danny was one of the victims of Travis’s plan on murdering the Senator.

The sadness from before suddenly felt in her once again, without the comfort of his hugs and words. She felt herself wanting to break down, as the news escaped the lips of Dr. Ramsey.

Sienna tried to stay strong, as she stood behind the glass. With a full of pain in her heart, meeting Casey’s emerald’s which is fill with sympathy. She mouthed, ‘I’m so sorry’. As the tears threatened to fall from her eyes, Jackie scoot towards her way and bring her into the group’s embrace.

‘Don’t you dare die. No coma’s either. Just…hold the line, hear me?’ Her voice booms through the glass, as tear started to fall.

As all of them were ushered away, working on the treatment. Sienna looked back, as she saw Bryce walking into the room with a hazmat suit on him, a small smile on her face; knowing Casey wont be alone for the time being. She glanced back once more, before moving forward with the rest of the team.

------------------------

The same smile appeared once more, after Casey was saved. She couldn’t lose another one of the people she cared about, and… she engulfed her with a bear hug, the lost and comfort from the day before started to catch up to her. The day she lost Danny, and the day her best friend is save. Two different events that change her life in a way.

Funerals were meant to celebrate the life that was lived, staring at the black theme-d attire in her room, she wasn’t ready to face it. She wasn’t ready to face the day, where she would see him for the final time. The final time, where she could picture the smile on his face, as the memories from the past days would play in her mind again and again; as a way to comfort her sorrows.

She glanced at her room, somehow looking at it for the first time. Her eyes gaze upon the lines of furniture, and it stops at the wall of pictures. Somehow, all of the good memories from her intern year was on that wall, reminding her the good times of it all. Her eyes stop at one, she remembered it all too well.

A photo, both herself and Danny were sleeping on the couch after the party, that her friends took. She was mad at first, but… she realizes that was one of the earliest memories of herself and Danny, and she was grateful for it.

She didn’t join in the others, as a way to cope herself with all of it. She took the long way down, a way to be with her own thoughts, as after a while; the cemetery was in view. The number of nurses, workers, families, and many more had came by to express their thoughts. A way of remembering the ones that has gone, she glances at the crowd as she stood beside Dr. Ramsey who is somehow standing in the back of it all.

It was silence between them, as she glance upon the familiarity of the voice. It was Casey’s as she takes the lead, a smile upon her face from the stories that she managed to recalled from both Danny’s and Bobby’s time at Edenbrook, they were heroes. They will never be forgotten, somehow; it was one of the things that made saying goodbye very hard.

--------------------------

Afterwards, she founds herself linger behind. The skies are dark, upon the lost of two souls. Taking a small Laelia Orchid in her hand, making her way to both of them. Her tears stained cheek are visible, through the darkness of the sky. She places the flower in both of their caskets, a final goodbye.

The walk back to the hospital was accompanied by memories, smiles, laughter and even the warmth of his comfort accompanying her way back. She smiled despite it all, knowing that Danny is always going to be there, a comfort for her; as she took a sip of his favorite drink or, the moment where she stumbled at one of the movies from their trip to the Common. A reminder that he is always going to be apart of her, helping her through this life. As a human being, a doctor, a friend… and maybe in another lifetime; something even bigger than before.

She knows that she will see him again, very very soon. 

THE END.

[transmerle]

as much as i find the jokes relating john to the onceler/etc funny im. hoping it doesnt become a widespread thing for liking john to be considered “cringey” or something else along those lines

[la5t-res0rt]

fun fact fucko no one cares that he’s trans, gnc, or autistic. all they care about is that he said someone wasn’t bisexual all because they hate them. thats fucked up no matter who you are. being austistic isn’t an excuse to be an utter dick hole.

alrighty folks strap in because we are in for a long one today

to start off i will begin by saying that i care about the identities of people i like and call friends i care enough to listen and learn from them because they have different perspectives on issues that i as a person who is none of the things that this person is will ever understand

it is important to listen to people and learn from them not just shine a light out of your ass for someone out of a weird place of blind worship thats honestly so cringey but that isnt what this is about this about you and likely others harassing ad sending death threats my friend and comrade betel bitches

i will now be going under a readmore to spare the dashboard

so lets recap what exactly is he being harassed for

as you all are no doubt aware there is a blog called nether receipts where a certain user we shall not name catalogs instances where members of the beetlejuice fandom are harassed correction its a blog where this person catalogs instances where flaws in their character as well as the characters of the people around her are highlighted and critiqued with the occaisional off color remark and threat which i obviously do not approve of who would

anyway following reading some ill-informed and not-so-well-phrased comments from a certain narcissistic user about their sexuality my friend had this to say

this was the post that got them put on this receipts blog which really exists as a source of people for a certain cluster of the beetlebabe fandom to harass and try to drag or cancel 

this is the post that has made people call him biphobic and here is why thats wrong and stupid

you said in your ask that he only is saying that this icky person is not bisexual because there is malice between them and while yes its true that there is malice orion never once said that this person wasnt bisexual

i took the liberty of sifting through the harassment asks he received yesterday because you all love receipts so much i took the liberty of grabbing a few and adding some highlights so you dont miss the important bits

orion never once said this person isnt bisexual he stated that equating doing femme on femme  pornography to bisexuality is a biphobic statement and is in fact a problematic thing to say

there may be crossover between bisexual people and people who do femme on femme but they are far from the same thing doing pornography is a choice you actively make and you do it for compensation however being bisexual is simply part of who you are it is something you dont choose 

although this person would perhaps disagree

and before you come for me this person posted these for the world to see and obviously i have as many receipts as my drive can carry furthermore how does this argument make sense why would you care so much about heterophobia if youre not heterosexual why are you so pressed oh wait is it perhaps

because this person is using the split attraction model for woke points like this screams that this person sees women as sex objects or perhaps this person is comphet and is denying themselves because heteronormativity is so deeply ingrained in their being that they wish to cling to heterosexuality to keep up their squeaky clean white feminist woman persona or maybe theyre just not well informed on lgbt+ issues

editors note the editor is an ace person who considers using the split attraction model is situations like this isnt exactly helpful like i cant stop you from doing it but you shouldnt have to say im a bisexual heteromantic person you can just be a  bisexual woman and keep dating men you dating men doesnt erase your bisexuality saying that you would have sex with a woman but not romantically be involved with them makes the editor think woman = sex object and as a feminist the editor has to say thats fucked up

i will reiterate implying that doing pronography of any kind is equitable to a human sexualty is harmful to bisexual people and if youre like uhhh im bi and i think its okay guess what you do not speak for every single bi person so you should try harder to be compassionate for other peoples level of comfort

in any case statements like these are hurtful to bi people equating voluntary sex work to a sexuality isnt okay and its something that person should maybe address and consider apologizing for but since this person only listens to people in their inner circle and they dont even really listen to them its unlikely that this person will ever make amends for past biphobic tendencies because as everyone has been so quick to point out being bi doesnt excuse biphobia or homophobia or anything of the sort editors note heterophobia is not a legitimate issue im sorry if you feel oppressed for your straightness but really thats a you issue 

here is one more screenshot where my friend basically covers what i have just said as well as reminding the world that the owner of nether receipts is a narcissist 

being a bisexual person does not excuse you from saying biphobic things and there is literally no identifier you can use for yourself that exempts you from criticism for your actions and it doesnt mean that people cant demand that you address the wrongs youve done or said

you dont have to listen you dont have to do anything but dont be surprised if you say something shitty to a group of people and they get mad at you

also all that being said what orion said was not biphobic if anything he is raephobic but lets be honest who isnt ok there thats my one funny haha for you

we have every right to criticize someone who creates simulated cp and shares it with minors in 18+ servers or someone who equated bisexuality to voluntary sex work or someone who accuses people who disagree with them of being fascists or nazis or someone who goes out of their way to repost and edit art in a mocking manner or someone who actively claims to own a fandom like these are all critique worthy behaviors that all come from the same person who never explains their actions never holds themselves accountable for the shit they cause like we as people who share the same space as this person have every write to call bull roar when we see it

it is no secret that i dislike his person and it is also no secret that i will not hesitate to the the opportunity to drag them for being a shitty person whenever the opportunity arises and since their most recent beef with me was about how i was a bad friend i guess i figured this would be a good time to come forward for one of my friends who received dozens of harassment messages and several death threats over his commentary on the actions of this one vile individual

and i am addressing them now if they ever end up reading this or when it is inevitably sent to this person 

if youve got a problem with the way he and i or other antis critique you maybe come out from behind your wall of dipshit cronies and talk to us your damn self i am very sick of having to deal with nasti or morgan or that one minor or suz or that person that runs the rp blog or any of the others in your little hoard im tired of them trying to be slick like we see you we see all of you

all of your simulated cp aside youve said some really shitty things that you could easily amend since youve likely learned more about what it means to be lgbt+ since it is now a community you see yourself being a part of 

part of being human is learning from your past and making a better version of yourself for tomorrow and although i think you are a really awful person i dont think youre above self betterment and self reflection and self awareness 

also you dont seem to care at all when threats are being tossed around by your buddies but no matter how much me or orion or any of the others dislike what you do no person in their right mind would be okay with sending death threats and you shouldnt either you should at the very least extend that courtesy 

anyway

fuck you asker youre full of trash garbage and i hope you have a not so good day like i hope it rains or something invalidate my friends identity and ill yell at clouds

When Calls The Heart Live Rambles

S8 ep8 Parades and Charades (or something like that)

My gosh this episode is perhaps the best one we've had all season, and by that I just mean that Elizabeth actually had screen time, and she had actual lines, and she was part of plot that is relevant to h e r. Finally, the main character actually felt like the main character. HOWEVER, she is not very likeable in this episode, I must say (she hasn't been likeable for a while but you know)

The start of the episode when Elizabeth comes off her horse and she tries to talk to Nathan. I'm so glad that Nathan is firm even when Elizabeth doesnt like it. And he's not mean about it, he just tries to be honest while protecting himself and Allie from getting hurt even more. I honestly just love it when Elizabeth and Nathan have disagreements in general because when they do have arguments, it's usually because someone's feelings are showing and then it resolves in having made good progress in deepening their relationship. Elizabeth was totally out of line during that conversation btw. 'Now you're just being hurtful', um says the woman who rejected this man's love proposal and is now hurt that his niece didn't want to invite her to her very important and personal adoption ceremony...wow Elizabeth you really be asking for a lot. And then she's upset that he has to ride off to take care of mountie business. Yes, Elizabeth, this man has a job to do and your conversation will have to wait, sorry girlfriend.

When Nathan told Lucas to 'Save it' haha! Though I enjoyed it, I hope they don't write Lucas and Nathan to turn into enemies bc they are both pining for Elizabeth. It seems like it's headed in that direction based off of their dialogue throughout this episode. I guess it's understandable since Nathan has already been rejected and isn't backing down while Lucas and Elizabeth are a more official item. Okay, yeah, I understand it, but I don't want it to go too far *thinks back to the Lucas and Elizabeth in the rain scene* I guess I can't hope for that with this show. And later on when Lucas was talking to Nathan about how he should be thinking more of Allie and not getting her hurt. Ooooh I wanted to slap that fool. Who is he to be talking about Allie, he doesnt know anything about their relationship and he had no right to bring her up. Ugh that made me so angry.

Lucas's office. May I just say. Daaang. That's some nice, fancy office he's got there. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. They were planning this reveal for a long time I bet to make Lucas look more attractive in this love triangle. And let me say, that first scene with Elizabeth in Lucas's office finally made me understand what Elizabeth see's in this guy. We were finally shown a glimpse into Lucas's daily life and how he handles business. Elizabeth comes in wanting to talk, but he has to be on the phone bc, ya know, the guy has to work, and we see him taking care of his responsibilities instead of pining over Elizabeth. Usually, in every scene that involves Elizabeth and Lucas, he's typically able to give her his full attention and the entire scene is about him wanting to win her favor. But finally we have a scene where he isn't just there to win her heart and he has to tell her, 'sorry, but can we do this later?' And bc of that the dinner invite didnt come across too forward and it made sense bc they had things to talk about. The scene just really built up a new side to Lucas's character that I felt we hadn't seen yet and that was lacking. He actually feels like a character with an independent purpose now. And of course I didn't forget. The French. Yeah it was both attractive and again added to Lucas's character. I'm sure the Lucas shippers are drooling right now. And on a more serious note, his French sounded very good and I actually just looked it up Chris McNally speaks French so...yeah very cool. But Elizabeth's French when she was saying goodbye at the door...oh how cringey. I mean she spoke well too, but it was just unnecessary and oh I cringed so hard when she did that.

When she went back to his office later...oh no. He said he didnt feel up to having dinner together, and then she still didnt leave him alone and was like, well I can stay and we can just talk. Um, no Elizabeth, the man just said he didnt want to talk right now, but I guess since it's not talking over dinner then it's okay??? And she patted the cushion for him to join her on that teeny tiny little bench. Yo, there was no room for two there. They were pressed up against each other so much it was so awkward to watch. I mean that was like being forced to sit in the two-seater bus seat when clearly there's only room for one. And then the hand hold...yuck, and the deep breath like they were both being tempted...eeh, and then he kissed her hand...ooh. He had to tell her to go bc he wanted to remain a patient man. I'm glad he told her, I'm not surprised that happened. Come on Elizabeth, give the man a break. I mean what did you think would happen when you asked him to sit right next to you on that tiny bench for one. Omg and she fanned herself after exiting. She likes him that much?? Or she's trying to make love form from a purely physical attraction.

I really don't like the whole Rachel and Christopher romance. Maybe I would like it and believe it more if the actors actually looked like teenagers. I mean, Rachel does not look 17, especially since we regularly see child actors on the show in school and they are entering their teens, if they aren't teens already. When comparing a kid like Anna to Rachel, Rachel just seems way to old for 17.

I love how we see Allie's side to this love triangle plot. I loved the scene between her and Elizabeth in the school house. I liked that we were finally having a discussion between just them, and then Elizabeth opens the invitation! I laughed so hard! The pop up of Nathan in his mountie uniform and Elizabeth at the dinner table. Oh that was so funny! and also adorable. Allie wasn't taking any of it, yo she said *Fine and she snatched that invitation back and she tore it up. I was yelling at my tv, yes Allie you tell her!

When Elizabeth approached Nathan at the parade...come on E. That was not the time or place. Again, I like that they have these conversations and disagreements, but the writing of that dialogue was just so bad I thought. It was so awkward sounding and the pacing just felt off. It really didnt flow and I wonder if the writers were running out of time or something. When Nathan said that Allie is afraid to talk to Elizabeth without him present...oh that hurt inside. I feel so sorry for Allie, she's so hurt by all this I just want to make everything better for her. I like that Elizabeth's concern for Allie is at the forefront bc it's like her and Nathan are the concerned parents, but since Elizabeth rejected Nathan (and therefore Allie too) she really has no right to demand a say in how to help Allie feel better. Elizabeth isnt part of the family unit and Allie is solely Nathan's responsibility. I really liked Erin's acting in the way we could see the moment where Elizabeth thought back to her conversation with Rosemary and decided right then and there that she had to ask Nathan what it was he wasnt telling her. I'm kind of disappointed in the secret though. I had made that prediction, but thought it was just too much and unnecessary drama...and then of course that's what it was. I have no clue how this will play out. I can't even remember the preview for next week. Anyway, overall, Elizabeth central, but also Elizabeth's annoying. Lucas shippers finally have something of substance...sort of. And as usual Nathan and Allie steal the show and I couldn't love them more.
