#hr wells is a cutie

[bananielle]

vivi…. thoughts are being thunk

oh god. ihan… ( ;´ - `;) i’m such a sucker for tying pretty boys up <3 leehan would love to be restrained i think. he’d watch you with sparkling eyes and that exact smirk as you tied his arms tight to his body and went in to blindfold him. he just thinks you’re so hot when you’re in the lead and basically manhandling him. i think he’d be a bit giggly as you’re touching him too :p but he’d be so quick to crumble and turn into a moaning mess, especially if you kissed his eyelids through the blindfold

Do not repost this anywhere, reblogs are fine <3

Ethan couldn’t remember the last time he felt like this.

Well, he could as he was still young and it had only been a few years since he had been in middle school. Still, the small crushes he had back then were nothing compared to what he felt now. 

His brain felt fuzzy, his heart sped up whenever those eyes met his own, he would break out into a sweat when he felt the brush of skin on skin. He had never had it this bad before.

And you were to blame.

Your sweet smile, your kind eyes and your bright and carefree personality. How could he not instantly be drawn to you?

Ethan was developing a deep crush on you, and at a rapid pace. 

He sat in his room, his laptop playing some rock band from its place on his desk while he was across the room on his bed. His thumb was beginning to hurt from his countless hours of scrolling through Spotify, subconsciously adding random songs to a playlist - every song in which reminded him of you. 

Cloud 9 - Beach Bunny.

Crimson and Clover - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts.

Compass - The Neighbourhood. 

Someone to You - BANNERS.

The list just goes on and he only decided to stop when he saw how long it had gotten, the top of the playlist reading ‘67 songs, 4 hr 21 min’.

God, he felt like a kid again. 

His last crush was brutal. Ethan never found the courage to ask the cute girl in his homeroom out, making that story end before it ever even began. He never even spoke to her. 

Thankfully, that wasn’t the case with you. 

Not entirely, anyway. 

He talked to you almost everyday, and that in itself was an improvement from his last crush. He even went out on dates with you…sort of. Group outings with Tara, Chad, Mindy and Anika counted as dates, right?

Either way, it was another improvement. If there’s one thing high school taught him, it was that sitting around and waiting for people to come to him was borderline useless; insert the name of the crush he quickly forgot about upon meeting you.

You; the cute girl in his econ class.

You; his sister’s roommate.

You; the girl currently walking straight towards him. 

Shit.

“Hey, Ethan,” you greet in your usual cheery voice.

He smiles back, hoping that he hadn’t gotten too caught up in his thoughts to the point where he was staring at you. He hoped that you didn’t come over here to call him out on it. “Hey,” smooth.

You adjust the strap on your shoulder, tilting your head to the side as you ask, “What are you listening to?”

His brows furrowed before he realized that he still had his earbuds in. Now he knew why your voice sounded so muffled. 

Quickly pulling them out, he stuffs the wires away in his pocket as he shrugs. “Oh, um, nothing. Just a playlist I made,” he simply said, applauding himself for being able to sound so casual when his heart was beating a million miles a minute. 

You nod, looking down at the tiled floor of the hallway. “That’s cool,” you trail off, feeling like you were bothering him with your sudden presence. Maybe you were overthinking it, but the way he talked made you think you were interrupting something, whatever that something was. The last thing you wanted to do was bother him.

Unbeknownst to you, Ethan didn’t think you could ever bother him.

He sounded so closed off just because he was having a hard time coming up with words, the effect you had on him quickly beginning to take over his whole body.

“Um, well,” you murmur and back away, feeling your face heat up in embarrassment at the short lived conversation. “I guess I’ll see you later.”

Ethan’s eyes widened as he watched you turn around. He mentally kicked himself for being so monotone with you and giving you the wrong idea. Fuck, of course he’d accidentally give you the impression that he didn’t want to talk to you when it was actually the exact opposite. “Hey, wait,” he called out before he was able to fully think it through. You turned around, a small, confused smile on your lips. “I actually wanted to show you something. I made it last night.”

You raise one brow and walk back over to him. “You made it?”

He laughs awkwardly, shoving his phone in his pocket. “Yeah, I was bored,” he answered and tried to ignore the way his heart fluttered at the sound of your laugh. “Can I see your phone?”

“Um, yeah,” you grab your phone from your back pocket and hand it to him, confusion still evident on your face. “How are you going to show me what you made on my phone, though?”

He smiles to himself at your cluelessness, putting in your password - he still can’t believe you trusted him enough to give him that - and going onto the Spotify app. “It’s a playlist,” he tells you and your face heats up for the second time. 

“Oh…right,” you nod. “I knew that.”

Ethan shakes his head and hands you back your phone. “I made it for you,” he says. “It’s full of songs that remind me of you.” He hoped you wouldn’t find his words creepy or weird. What was he doing?

You take your phone, tearing your eyes away from his to look down at the screen. It showed a playlist on his account, simply titled ‘For Her’. “Oh, wow,” you say quietly, scrolling through the songs before tapping on the heart icon and saving it to your own account. “Thank you, that’s really sweet.”

His own face heats up in a blush, his eyes meeting yours once again. “No problem,” he says just as quietly. “I hope you like it.”

You smile at him. “I’m sure I will,” your eyes briefly look at his lips before you back away again. “I’m running late, but I promise I’ll listen to it later.”

“No rush,” he calls out as you give him a final smile before turning around the corner. 

It was then when he could finally breathe again. 

-

Ethan hadn’t seen you in a few days. You were busy with work and studying and he had more than a few assignments he had to catch up on. 

You stayed true to your promise and listened to the playlist. However, instead of just listening to a couple of the songs and skipping over others, you listened to every single one. Over and over again.

Thanks to the app’s friend activity being on, Ethan was able to see that you had the playlist on repeat ever since he gave it to you. 

An undeniable feeling of happiness consumed every inch of him, filling him with a sense of pride. He was happy to know that the three hours he spent putting that playlist together weren’t for nothing. 

Thank God for Spotify and it’s weird but very useful features. 

Another day or so goes by before he sees you again, a warm feeling washing over him as you give him a smile that takes up nearly your entire face. “Hey, Ethan!” You greet him like usual, but this time you catch him by surprise as your arms wrap around his shoulders in a hug. “Thanks so much for making me that playlist. Some of those songs are really good.” You wanted to say all of them were good, but also didn’t want to come off as being too forward. 

“I’m glad,” he returned the hug and had to force himself to pull away after a few seconds. “So, I take it you like it?” He knew you did but he also wanted to hear you say it as well. 

“Of course, I love it,” you reply, feeling shy all of a sudden. You weren’t dumb, you knew what 99% of the songs were about - if it wasn’t obvious enough. Each one gave you butterflies, as did the title of the list. 

For her.

You could kiss him right here and now.

 “Good, that’s good,” he says and you try to fight off your growing smile.

“There were some really romantic songs on there,” you trail off, hoping to anyone that was listening that you weren’t reading too much into things. You’d die of embarrassment if you were to confess your feelings to him and have him turn you down. You’d probably cry if he were to say he just saw you as a friend. 

Ethan leaned against the bricked wall of the university, his forearm keeping him balanced as he raised it just above his head. “Only some?” He teased, knowing damn well that all of the songs were romantic in one way or the other. 

Relief falls over you at his voice, his teasing grin only making you believe your suspicions even more. “Okay, maybe more than some,”

Ethan’s smirk turned into a boyish grin at the way your face began to tint red. “More like all of them,” he smoothly corrected you, not entirely sure where the sudden boost of confidence came from, but not wasting a second of it. “You know, I meant it when I said they reminded me of you.”

You feel your face flush at his words, tilting your head down to stop your growing grin. “Yeah, I know,”

Ethan felt like he could fall over at any given second and he was glad his arm was currently doing a very good job at keeping him up right. Still, before he could lose the courage he rarely ever felt, he inched closer to you as he says, “I’ve been meaning to ask you something,”

You don’t dare move or speak or breathe as you wait for him to continue, your eyes never leaving his. 

“We’ve been friends for a while now, and it’s been great. Really great,” he starts and waits for any indication that he should shut up before he ruins something good. When you only slowly nodded, he decided to just go for it. “But I want something more. And I want it with you.”

Your eyes flicker all over his face, butterflies begging to be set loose all over your body as you process his words. Even though you had a strong feeling that you already knew what his answer would be, you still ask, “What are you saying?”

“I’m saying I really like you,” the butterflies had officially been released and your face heats up in both relief and happiness, overjoyed that your feelings weren’t one sided. “Would you like to go out with me?”

You refrain from screaming out a ‘yes’ and instead look down at the concrete you were both standing on. Slowly, you nod and don’t bother to fight off the smile growing on your face. “Yes,” you say and feel your heart skip a beat at the way his tense shoulders immediately lift, a grin taking over his own face. “Yes, I would like to go out with you.”

salvatore part 3.0

richie jerimovich x reader

warnings: age gap, cheating (eventually) (guys it's for the plot i swear), drugs mentioned, swearing.

guys this part is gonna be divided into two bc it didn't fit into one post :< they've been posted at the same time, u can find part 3.5 on my acc! thanks 4 all the love cuties <3

most people would call richie an asshole, it was just his nature y'know? how he walked around with that smirk you couldn't wipe off his face, fucking with cousin, trying to 'man the ship' and take control with his abrasive voice and attitude. after you got hired at the beef though, everyone wondered to what extent of an asshole richie really was. carmy and tina were on his ass the most, gifting him a quick smack on the shoulder or upside the head whenever they caught him staring at you, eyes trailing you out the door. they knew he could be an asshole, obviously, but they wondered if he was really the type of guy to take one look at your gleaming eyes and full cheeks and not be able to help himself. everyone in the kitchen called you 'baby', there was no avoiding how obviously young you were. richie knew, of course he knew, the way you looked up at him through your long lashes. the bags under your eyes nowhere near as dark and deep as his or carmy's. you were achingly sweet, and it killed him. when you smiled at him, bidding him his daily 'good morning, richie!' he felt his teeth rot in his mouth. like he wanted to store you away in his pocket and never let anyone ruin that sparkle you held behind your eyes. yet at the same time, if it was up to him, he could be the one to do it. a reminder he felt every time he played with the ring on his left hand. god, he could ruin your life if you let him. it's not like actively wanted to, but whenever he caught a glimpse of the sun hitting your soft skin he felt something intangible. so when you came up behind the alley and sat next to him on your first day, and he saw the way your glossed lips wrapped around his cigarette he knew he couldn't help himself, he wouldn't. he saw it that day, a part of you is sick enough to want this too. from that point on, you play along. his sweet names for you, soft touches, like he wanted to guide you, teach you. 

"tell baby she can't be ringing in the orders all at once, cousin!" carmy yelled over at richie through the expo. "well maybe if you picked up the pace, did the damn system the way it's meant to be done you'd get it done, cousin." richie yells back rolling his eyes, he was being stubborn about all of carmen's new 'rules'. "just tell her, asshole!". richie threw his hands up, exiting the kitchen to find you ringing in orders on the new tablet that only you can seem to figure out. he comes up beside you, gently pulling your hand off the screen. you turn, recognizing richie's strong cigarette and minty aroma. "cousin's being a little bitch so i'm just gonna need you to slow down on ringing in orders. alright, sweetheart?" he nods his head towards you. "oh shit, i'm sorry richie i forgot you guys were short staffed today! if you want i can help back there-" richie chuckles at you stumbling over your words. "no no, don't worry about it, doll. you keep your pretty little self up here-" he grabs your shoulders facing you back towards your tables, "and let me worry about what's going on back there". you let out a small laugh and agree, feeling his big hands gripping your shoulders. "keep raking in those tips, baby!" he yells back as he makes his way back into the kitchen. "yo, you told her, cousin?" carmy questions as richie walks back into the hectic kitchen. "yeah fuck off, she's doing great out there. that face brings in the big bucks man" sydney throws her head back at his words, "richie you can't be saying that! i think even the way you look at her is an HR violation." "syd, fuck off, i am HR" he responds with a cocky tone making sydney roll her eyes.

it was a few days after the day of the game, and the little show richie put on to protect you from some drunk asshole. he had laughed to himself the entire way home, imagining your 'boyfriend' picking you up that night. and every night after work as a matter of fact. how you'd go home to him and lay in bed thinking about richie. his hands, the scruff on his face, the shadow his figure casted over you when he stood behind you, the way his gaze imprinted on you, and the way his voice changed when directed towards you. richie could always clock the want in your eyes, almost like you would surrender yourself to whatever would fall from his mouth. finding out about your boyfriend just confirmed his suspicions; you were just the type of girl who's looking for someone to take good care of her. 

it was the following friday night after a particularly stressful shift at the beef (when wasn't it) and tina had rounded everyone up, convincing everyone to head to the bar. "ugh, but tina i'm all sweaty" you frowned, always wanting to head out looking your best. "baby throw on a dress and some lipstick and i promise you'll look just fine, mija." she came up to you, reaching up to flatten your fly aways with her small hands. "plus who you trying to look good for anyways, richie?" she laughed but then quickly noticed your red face and paused. "what?" you asked slowly with a nervous tinge. "don't tell me you got the hots for richie, girl." she looked at you, eyebrows as crinkled as ever. after your lack of response she let out a long sig, "ay no, niña. i love that boy, i really do but he is bad news. plus baby he's too old for you, my god, and you're too pretty. no no no you stay away from him." she ranted on before you could even get a word in. "no, tina! i don't, I promise!" you exclaimed, she stared unconvinced, "plus i've got a boyfriend". "hmmm, okay, i'm watching you girl. go get ready." her tone still sounded unconvinced, just a bit more at ease knowing you're at least 'taken'. you quickly composed yourself in the dim fluorescent's of the beef's bathroom as everyone made their way to the bar. slapping on some lipstick, your hoops, and trying to manage as much of your hair as you could. "wepa!! look at you, come on let's go before everyone gets drunk by the time we get there" tina pulls you off into her car. 

pt 3.5 up now!!

Ryuhei Kuroda x Reader: Flirtations

G/N. You, a lil dense. Ryuhei is Ryuhei.

Ryuhei hasn't made up his mind whether you're dense or deaf... Or selective hearing is more like it.

When he turned his so-called charms on you, you always plastered on an innocent smile and asked him to repeat again what he said.

Well, doesn't that lose its impact the second time round. He rarely repeats his words and slinks away, pride and ego wounded.

Other times you would just outright ignore him. Which is fine, he supposes. He's used to that after pining after Mitsuki for years.

Yet sometimes he would catch you watching him with a look that would make his own face burn.

Sigh. What is a Kagiroi supposed to do?

Am I losing my touch, Ryuhei thinks, Did I even ever have a touch? He looks down at his crotch glumly. Looks like it's just you and me.

.

.

"Hey cutie~" Ryuhei grins, leaning over your desk and wanting attention.

(Ryuhei's style of flirting is less harassment and more playful with you. Sorta.

Him and Mitsuki are one thing, but even Ryuhei knows where to draw the line with most people. It would be a pain if HR got involved, or god forbid, that little bastard Eugene.

Why that twink has taken such a liking to you, Ryuhei would damn well like to know. Hell, why Ryuhei himself has taken such a liking to you, he can't figure out either.)

Brushing his tie out the way, you don't bother peering up at your blonde coworker. You're this close to finishing the document. Just a couple more paragraphs and you can clock out for the day.

You hear him chatter away over the top of your head but your focus remains firmly on the papers. Eyes skimming over the last line, you sign it with your signature and breathe a sigh of relief.

Done.

His voice drifts over as soon as your pen lifts from the page, "You're finished?"

A nod. Ryuhei returns your gesture with a smile. He was aiming for salacious but it comes out sweet.

Then returning back to form, his eyes greedily rove over your figure as you stretch, elongating your body and hands reaching high over your head, hearing your joints crack and pop.

The smile on your face matches his, a bit too sentimental for his heart to take. Your words, however- "So all those times you said you wanted to play, what did you have in mind?"

"W-what?"

"Wanna go for a ride?"

Goddamnit, those are his lines. Did he hear you right? You wanna ride him? Ride his d- "Ride?! Right now?"

"Yep!"

"Me and you?!"

"Sure!"

Ryuhei looks down, feels the first stirring since forever of his little attack dog-

You stand up, legs stiff after sitting down for hours, and pull on your jacket, "You're always going on about it, let's go get your bike!"

Shit.

You meant an actual ride.

Fuck!

Ryuhei plops down on a nearby chair, crossing his legs to hopefully conceal his growing interest.

"...Give me a moment." He mumbles as you tilt your head in confusion.

[simmer-rhi]

Another book club meeting, and more skill building. Earning a ton of points to finish the leader of the pack aspiration is slow work.

But, Anjelo reached level 10 gaming! He's a mere 3 hrs away from completing the computer whiz aspiration...

And then the dog called to tell Joseph, who's upstairs making friends with a bear, curfew is about to start. Well, we don't want to get in trouble with the dog, so we head home....

And the truth is revealed - Cutie's call was nothing to do with curfews, and all to do with the giant monstrosity that has grown in the back garden - what the heck is that thing?!

(We called him George btw)

[simmerlau]

Beja and Cami arrived at 4am to the new house, they rented a car in a well-known car dealership near the portal, so they could travel comfortably, although they had their brooms they wanted to try new things, there are no cars in the Realm of Magic! Benja, who had always been interested in human things, had learned to drive on a vacation when a friend took him out of the portal. His parents never really wanted him to go, but being people they trusted, they allowed him to spend the holidays outside de Realm of Magic.

On the way home, they found a small dog being attacked by beasts, something unusual for Glimmerbrook being a territory guarded by wizards.

Camila who is an animal lover, rescued him and bought some food and a toy, in a 24 hrs store on the way. She also healed his wounds with magic while they were in the car, she was always better at spells than her brother, who after an accident as a child began to have trouble channeling magic, although encouraged by her sister, he always tries to improve and believe that maybe he can find his talent.

Through her conection to animals, Camila found out that this doggie's name was Beru. Such a cutie, she'll take care of him from now on.

Just saw the blue beetle movie and here’s my thoughts

Spoiler free: It was great. 10/10 movie, it was really fun and definitely one of my favourite superhero movies, maybe even my favourite live action superhero movie.

With spoilers:

I loved the fact that Jaimes family was in it the whole way through, the whole thing was so wholesome and family focused and I loved it. Sometimes movies will try to send a family focused message but the family is barely present, but here Jaimes family was actually really there the whole way through and didn’t just feel like an emotional add on.

Low-key really liked Jenny and wouldn’t actually mind it if she made it into the comics (although she’d have to be from an alternate universe or the future or something cause I don’t want Ted to be a deadbeat). She actually felt like teds daughter (unlike Victoria who kinda just felt shoved in there a bit).

I liked the story, it was a really good high stakes origin story without being too high stakes. It can get a bit frustrating when someone’s origin story is like “evil dude trying to take over the world” and that’s supposed to be their first threat. Especially in a universe where superheroes already exist, cause then it’s like why aren’t the others stepping in? But for this it made perfect sense why no other heroes were present and Jaime was allowed to just have his origin alone with his family.

Some specific things I loved:

The suit and the CGI all looked amazing, the movie was really incredibly well made and I felt so hyped whenever Jaime was fighting.

The BUG!!! It felt so much like Ted was actually present in the movie in the bug scene and I loved it.

Jaimes grandma just casually having an extremely dangerous past.

When Jaime came to Kord industries and his whole family was by the car!!! I loved it, they’re such cuties

Milagro, just everything about Milagro

Khaji-Da speaking Spanish after they fused!!!!!!! Ahhhh I love it!!!

“Her mom died”

Overall this movie may have been the worst 2 days of Jaimes life but it was the best 2 hrs of mine. I loved every second of it and I would HIGHLY recommend everyone watch it, it’s great!

[spiriiitt]

Okay so like I have no clue how to colour work coloured pencils, and the ones I have I got in a free art box for disadvantaged kids like 4 years ago so they're terrible terrible, but YOU SEE THE VISION RIGHT????

This post is just going to be me ramblings about the world building I've done so far for it, mostly on meifwas and Aphmau

Aph appears in the forest and follows vylad wtvr, doesn't remember anything yada yada yada we KNOW HOW MCD WORKS I just have to workshop it in the mlp logic and shit.

Aphmau has an abnormally long, curved horn, one that is often associated with powerful magicks users, however much longer. However, aph does not remember how to use her magicks when she shows up to Phoenix drop, at least not for a while. Her markings make villagers think she may be a zebra for a second, but they do not resemble theirs in the slightest and rather are not something recognisable to a species or any modern cultures they know of in the village. Her marks extend up her horn and follow where wings would stem from on her torso

Emmalyn does not recognise them either, and is very fascinated by aphmau's horn, however is very aggressive towards her, especially upon seeing hr cutie mark. Her cutie mark is rather dull and almost blends in with aphmau's coat, but it is the symbol of Irene. Emmalyn isn't quite sure of why, but as a dedicated Irene scholar she has reasons to believe it means she may be a closer, but not close, descendant of Irene, or may be destined (or formally was before she showed up at Phoenix drop) to be a powerful Irene priestess or scholar. However she also believes it may mean Aphmau has the heart of irene- the metaphorical heart, as in she is bound to live a similar, though not as important, life Irene did in helping people and trying to bring peace, as Irene had become synonymous with peace and aid by this point in time, so the forming of her symbol as a cutie mark didn't seem impossible in the grand scheme of things to Emmalyn. However, Emmalyn was jealous of the fact Aphmau had the Irene symbol on her, as someone who knew, or could not remember, nothing about Irene.

In saying that, a pony had not been seen before with the symbol of a god or divine warriors before.

Aphmau probably gets her wings when she has her first Irene transformation thing, or maybe when she GOES to the Irene dimension.. idk I have to rewatch mcd when I have time but I'll get back to the rest of it all.

obviously yk horns and wings or none at all, ponies have em or they don't and they DO vary depending on type of horse! Yk, like meifwa, werewolf, etc etc witches and warlocks yk yk, shadow knights, elves I could go on but I also can't BC idk what else there is.

generally meifwa have thicker horns but they're a bit shorter and curve kind of like a cat's claw does, but upwards, and are very sharp! They're also very powerful generally, and horn embellishments are a large part of their culture for the everyday pony. Some meifwa don't have horns, some have wings or are just earth ponies, but as a culture and type of pony their wings are generally much better for gliding and softening falls, very much like a cat being able to take falls very well, but they aren't very powerful for everything else (though they can still fly obvi) They can glide fast as their wings are very thin so they are very aerodynamic and cut through the air easily.

In general, meifwa have thinner limbs and bodies for agility, and their manes and tails are generally very slick and thin, and braids are considered an art and sign of status depending on the amount.

Mostly very colourful but in duller shades of said colours, thought dye to make it brighter is common, especially among young and/or very powerful ponies.

Their ears are also much sharper and point much more forward, though do not have much fur on them compared to other pony species/idfk what to call it.

Many different unique coats and coat markings can be found within them, and different coats are associated with different families and classes.

Their snouts are also shorter.

I WILL WORK ON WEREWOLVES AND WITCHES L A T E R

[jaehyunnie77]

omg hi! Saw that your requests were open hehe yay 🥳 could I request for a secret bf jaehyun x y/n one where they went for a Christmas party and y/n stands under a mistletoe without knowing and her guy friend starts a convo with her below it causing their friends to point it out and make them kiss, so instead, she kisses him on the cheek, making jaehyun jealous and pouty 🥹

Hope it makes sense hahaha! You can switch it up in your way too 🥰❤️ Love your stories so so much ✨

pairing: Jaehyun x f. reader

genre: pure fluff - like the purest i think i've ever written

word count: 2.1k

a/n: i got busy during the holidays, but here's a late christmas fic upon requested. thank you so much anon for sending this in. i hope you enjoy it :)

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

“I promise it’s going to be really quick babe. One hour max and then we can go home, order take out, and watch movies.” You tell your boyfriend as you adjust his tie.

“I just don’t see the point of why we have to be here when it’s freezing and Christmas is in a couple of days.” He says.

You look up after being satisfy with his tie and see a cute pout on his lips. He may be a twenty-five year old adult, but sometimes he can be a kid. Especially right now when he looks so adorable with his pout.

“Hey look at me.” you tell him as you wrap your arms around his shoulders. His hands mindlessly finding your waist and holding you close. “It’s going to be quick Jae and right after you’ll have me for the entire week.”

At that, his pout turns into a smirk and into a big smile. Like you’ve said, he can be a kid sometimes. “That sounds good honestly.” He leans forward and captures your lips together. If you didn’t have this Christmas party to attend to, you’d kiss him all night.

You pull away from him reluctantly, “We’re going to be late.”

He sighs deeply, “Okay. Just remember that I’m doing this for you. I’m guessing nobody has zero idea we’re together, so you go in first and I’ll follow soon after.” You smile at him before giving him another kiss.

“See you soon cutie.” You tease before heading in.

Your Christmas work parties are usually fun, especially when there’s alcohol and you get to see how fun your colleagues are. Usually, you’d enjoy your night out, mingle with everybody, and do small talk, but this year, all you want to do is go home with Jaehyun and spend time with him.

You both work at the same company and have been dating for six months. Of course, you would have to talk to HR about your relationship at one point, but you both like knowing that no one knows you two are together. Why? Well, let’s just say you both didn’t like each other at the very beginning. Yeah, how cliché right?

It all started a year and a half ago when Jaehyun was a new employee and your first interaction wasn’t the happiest one. You pulled an all-nighter the night before and haven’t had your morning coffee. As you walk into the kitchen, your brain automatically was filled with giddiness knowing you’re about to have your fuel for the day. There was a man using the coffee machine and you didn’t think much of it, let alone care who it was.

You stood next to him as you grab your cup and sugar pack and that’s when you heard a loud noise and a ‘fuck’ next to you. You look up to see the coffee machine smoking and you knew you were going to have a horrible day all because of this jerk.

“What the hell happened!?”

“I don’t know. I was just trying to put my brew in there and it just started acting weird and not doing anything so I just pushed all of these buttons and bam.”

“Ugh you idiot. If you don’t know how to work a coffee machine, go to Starbucks next time!” you say angrily.

“Are you questioning my intelligence on how to work a coffee machine?” the man looks at you angrily.

You stand a little straighter, “Yes I am because if you knew how to work this, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now.

He squints his eyes before retaliating back, “Well maybe you should start being nice to people you don’t know or better yet, how about you make yourself a cup of coffee before coming into work and spoiling everyone’s day.”

Your jaw fell open because never in your life has anyone talked to you like that or have a comeback as he did. You were at a complete lost for words until he turned around to walk back out the kitchen.

“Yeah, well it still doesn’t fix the problem you created by not knowing how to work this thing.”

All the man could do was laugh at you before waving you off and exiting.

Just who the hell does he think he is?

Since that day, you made your own coffee at home before coming into work. Little did you know, he always saw you with coffee in your hand and notices how your smile captures your beauty. Sure, you were probably having an off day that first encounter, but he still couldn’t help that you somehow took his words into consideration by bringing your own coffee into work.

You’ve seen him around a couple of times, but never interacted with him until you both had an assignment together.

“Oh look who it is. The coffee machine breaker.”

“Good morning to you too Cruella.”

You make a face at him, “Trust me I don’t want to work on this assignment with you either.”

Jaehyun eyes you before playfully saying, “Who says I didn’t want to work with you?”

Surprise, you look at him to see his eyes twinkling and a smirk on his lips. Once again, you’re at a lost for words and don’t bother saying anything back. Instead, you focus on your laptop in front of you putting random ideas on Word.

Jaehyun sees the affect he has on you and couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. Cute.

Who knew that assignment would change the interjectory of your outlook on Jaehyun. You ended up spending your long days at work with him figuring and coming up with ways for this assignment and on days off, you both somehow manage to meet up and talk about things you had in common.

After said assignment project was finished, you both found yourselves spending more time together. You no longer were annoyed by him or called him ‘the coffee machine breaker’, but instead, you called him by his name or his nickname Jae. Eventually things fell into place soon after.

What can you say? The universe does work in mysterious ways.

As you grab a flute of champagne by the bar, you turn around to see your boyfriend walking through the door. Even if it has been six months you’ve been dating or see him walk around for almost two years, he still takes your breath away.  The man knows how to capture everyone’s attention by his gaze and his well mannerism. Not to mention how hot he looks in his black and white suite.

I really can’t believe this man is my man.

As the party continues on, you manage to talk to a few colleagues and steal glances at Jaehyun from afar. It came to the point where you were almost playing a game of hide and seek.

“Wow. Look at you. Who knew you could dress up nicely.” Josh, your friend and ass kisser tells you.

“Everyone has their secrets. You clean up pretty nicely as well.”

“Thanks! Oh by the way, I just want to tell you that I think you’re an amazing person to look up to.”

“How many have you had to drink?” you chuckle. “But thank you for the kind words. If you’ll excuse me I –“

“Oh my god! Mistletoe! Y/N and Josh are under the mistletoe!” Someone on your right yells excitedly.

You see everyone near turn towards you as you look up and sure enough there is a mistletoe above you and Josh.

“Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.” Your colleagues chant in unison.

You shake your head from pure embarrassment, but also trying to find Jaehyun to somehow tell him it isn’t what it looked like. You finally see him in the back, his gaze intently on yours with an expression you haven’t seen before.

“Just one kiss.” Your coworker Joy says.

You look back to Josh who’s hoping more than anything you’d kiss him. Without wanting unwanted attention on you, you kiss Josh on the cheek. “There. Done.”

“No, that’s not –“

“Technically, that was a kiss. It doesn’t mean we have to kiss on the lips and we are not like that.” You explain yourself. Your eyes search for Jaehyun once again only to see him pouting and heading outside the balcony.

You follow him right out, not caring anymore about what took place or the people around you. The only focus you had in mind was your boyfriend. Once outside, Jaehyun was overlooking the city and even when he stands with his back facing you, he’s still handsome. You walk towards him until you’re standing beside him and taking in the city night lights.

“Babe-“

“There’s people around Y/N.” his tone is cold with a hint of frustration.

“Please Jae, it’s not what you think. I didn’t even know there would be a mistletoe, let alone be under one.”

“Do you know that he likes you? I heard him talking about you one day and telling everyone he was going to shoot his shot with you because he thinks you feel the same way.”

“Are you jealous?” the more he talked the more you couldn’t help but smile.

“I bet he made sure to stop under that mistletoe just so he could get a kiss from you.” he sneers.

“You know I don’t feel the same way he does. I only have feelings for you.” you step closer to him until you could feel his warmth embracing you.

Jaehyun exhales frustratingly, “I just wish it was me under that mistletoe.” He says quietly.

You look at your boyfriend and want more than anything for that to also be him. An idea pops into your head and you know what you have to do. It was either now or never.

“Come with me.” You take out your hand for him to hold.

“Where are we going?”

“On an adventure.” You smile up at him with round eyes.

How could he say no to that face and to you. He takes your hand and follows your lead back into the Christmas party. Once inside, you still don’t let his hand go even if he tried to let go of yours. All that did was make you hold onto him tighter.

You found a mistletoe and walked over to it and stopped underneath it. Jaehyun has zero idea what’s going on until he looks at his surroundings and finally up to see the mistletoe.

“Y/N –“

“Y/N and Jaehyun are under the mistletoe.” You hear someone whispering loudly to someone and soon enough the entire room has their eyes on you both.

“There’s people watching.” He says nervously.

“Let them. I don’t want to be here with no one else but you. I don’t care what people say as long as I have you by my side and I don’t want to hide us forever because I’m in love with you. Only you Jaehyun.”

At your confession he smiles widely and you couldn’t help but smile wider if that’s possible. You crane your neck up as he bends down to meet you halfway as your lips meet each other. You’ve had many kisses with Jaehyun, but this kiss is the first kiss to seal how you truly felt for one another and to show everyone that you love each other. His hands cradle the side of your face before one goes to your back as he dips you down. You yelp in surprise as the room gets louder from all the clapping and celebration.

He takes you back up and you’re left winded. The smile on his face is the only thing you see and the only one that matters.

“You’re crazy but I love you Y/N.” he pecks your lips.

“And I love you coffee machine breaker.” At that you both laugh at how far you’ve come.

“How about we get out of here and go watch movies?”

“Please. My feet has been killing me for the last hour.”

“Babe, that’s literally the time the party started.” He giggles.

“Yeah, I know. I don’t want to be here, I just want to be with you.”

“God you’re so cute. Let’s go.”

At that, you both left the party hand in hand and no longer hiding your relationship. Starting tonight, you get to show the world who makes you the happiest person on the planet.

Also … you may or may not be already planning for many more kisses underneath the mistletoe with the love of your life Jeong Jaehyun.

[bitchesgetriches]

hey glorious Bitches, I've had a wild year. Had a mental breakdown in Jan that forced me to leave my after-school teacher job ($21/hr). Ended up working for Kroger ($18.50/hr). Worst few months of work I've had in over a decade, possibly my entire life. And that's before even discussing the low wages. Radicalized me even more than I was before. Anyways, got a new job, doing the same kind of teaching as in my old job, but it pays around $30/hr. Most I've ever made in my life. First time I actually have "extra" money. Like I can go to a restaurant or a movie or buy myself some new jeans. and still have money leftover. Surprisingly, that first week I was really kind of... depressed about it. Going back to a desk job where I'm suddenly treated with human dignity, and now making a solid middle-class wage, just really reinforced in me how much the economy is bullshit, how much it exploits people financially and psychologically. The hardest working people are paid nothing while the highest paid people are often doing close to nothing. Anyways, I'm gonna avoid spending all this new money. Gonna make an emergency fund and actually try to save money to retire one day (maybe?). And def gonna find more ways to give back to the community. I'm already tipping better, bc every front-end worker is underpaid. And I try to buy something like a box of cookies which I give to the grocery workers when I leave. (I'd tip them if not that management would punish them for it.) Anyways, I'm lucky now with my lower middle class job and some human dignity. I'm super lucky actually. I just wish everyone knew how much of a scam our economy is, that capitalism is. Everyone deserves a living wage and dignity. treat people well. if you can afford it, tip well. everyone is struggling. ok, that's my weird little rant. thanks for listening and for putting out actually good financial/economic content.

"Weird little rant"? More like "SPEAKING THE TRUTH."

Honey we are SO proud of you for making this kind of progress in your career and life while still keeping your soul intact. Far too many people who reach financial stability completely forget what it's like to be one of the working poor. The "I got mine" mentality is too common in our capitalist society. We must never forget where we came from and how many people get left behind.

You're doing great and we're overjoyed for you. Keep it up, cutie pie.

Finally watched the Snyder Cut, have some not in order thoughts (spoilers below!)

-like 90% of the quips are gone and it works

-better color palette by far, Steppenwolf doesn’t look like hot garbage but more like a fidget spinner i once saw

-more Lois lane. Excellent choice there

-was not expecting Martian Manhunter. At all.

-u know u don’t have to play wonder woman’s theme EVERY time she’s on screen right??

-Jason Todd reference??!?

-yesssss black Superman suit

-Clark and Lois are so tender. Works very well as an extension of their relationship in the directors cut of BvS

-Iris West is a cutie

-less stupid flirting btw bats and ww. Good

-also fewer dumb flash moments

-making cyborg an emotional center of the plot was a good choice

-missed opportunity not having nightwing show up in the end apocalypse dream sequence

-but I just want proper live action nightwing in general (meaning movie adaptation ik titans was a thing lol)

-give me my sunshine-y guy who hits ppl with sticks

-my biggest gripe with this bats is the lack of robins, don’t tell me he’s been around 20 yrs and not acquired a robin or two (ya i know joker said one died but it’d be weird if it was dick so I’m reading it as being jason)

-Atlantean blood bending hmmmm

-they kept the ‘I bought the bank’ line heh heh

-kinda sad the flash sups race got cut, didn’t fit the tone but it was fun

-ok so the internet informed me that Dick is in fact the dead Robin being mentioned but I’m ignoring this because its stupid

Will I watch it again? Maybe. Currently only LOTR gets a pass to be 4 hrs long but this might actually deserve its runtime. Might.

Redacted-tober 2023 Day Twenty-Eight

Prompt: Morgan & Song

Pairing: Morgan & Cutie, background Cutie/Geordi

cw: mild language

Summary: Morgan visits his simultaneous least and most favorite coworker- a spiritual sequel to Day Twenty-Six.

Read on AO3 here!

<- Previous Day

Morgan Kyne, known through the Department for his even-keeled manner and patient temperament, can only take so much.

“This has got to stop,” he says, slamming open the door to his coworker’s office and silently fuming as it slowly inches closed with a hiss. Like every lunch break for the past two weeks, Cutie is emanating saccharine joy, sitting at their desk, smiling goofily at the phone in their hand as it plays endless loops of Call Me Maybe and I Really Like You to their headphones. “If I have to hear another Carly Rae Jepsen song, I’ll report you to HR.”

“You can’t possibly hear my music playing,” Cutie says playfully, not looking up from their typing thumbs and brightly lit phone screen. “Don’t be a drama king, Kyne.”

“I could hear you singing through the walls,” he says, deadpan and disapproving, while Cutie just grins up at him with heart-eyed cheer and abandon. “Disrespectfully, I hope your boyfriend breaks up with you again.”

“No, you don’t!” they say with a scandalized gasp, chucking their rubber band ball at Morgan’s head.

“Read my mind, and see if I’m lying,” he snarks back, catching it with ease and rearing his arm back in a dryly playful threat before sitting in a chair across from them. “I take it your date went well?”

“Geordi stayed over last night and burned the pancakes this morning,” Cutie sighs dreamily before laughing at Morgan’s understated but clear expression of disgust.

“You’re incorrigible.”

“And you’re jealous. I take it your protege is not returning your texts again?” His face sours imperceptibly further, a slight curl of the lips all Cutie needs to see. “Tell me about it over lunch, my treat?” They get up, putting their things away and offering him an arm which Morgan takes as gladly as he is able while still irritated with them.

“It’s the least you could do.”

note: it really amuses me to imagine this Morgan because, like, we all have that one work bestie that there’s just no boundaries and no persona with, and he’s more fun to write that way

I think a really, really funny absolute CRACK au for Fantasy High, would be some sort of time travel or divination scrying on the past or whatever, for the Junior Year Rat Grinders. I know they've been aware of the Bad Kids since freshman, but how well did they REALLY know the kids? Or what they did, prior to them going to jail or the whole prompocalypse?

I want The Rat Grinders, fresh from Junior Year and The Bad Kids who were maximum legends, to see what an absolute batshit feral mess The Bad Kids were. Riz, diving up a corn cuties ass. Fabian falling off tables, Kristen and Gorgug dying, Adaine absolutely braining the lunch lady with her own soup ladle in the head twice, so hard she dies and Adaine immediately has a panic attack about it. It is the first day of school.

Catching whiff's of suspicious things and tracking it down with wild abandon. Stealing a car leading to a high speed chase, killing truly so many people. Sneaking into a bar, almost dying, but ALSO sending Jawbone to the school.

SEXY RAT

Beefing with middleschoolers and summoning a demon who is also Fig's dad.

Fighting ANOTHER faculty member, killing the coach after making him shit himself. Another student also dies. They revive him, intimidate/black mail him while making him think HE had shit himself and they just switched his and the coach's pants. They then change his entire life by talking to him, helping him reach emotional catharsis and help him realize he's gay.

Beating up Adaine's sister at a party and revoking her diplomatic immunity.

Riz threatening to shoot Biz's brains out, counting rapidly down from 5 and blowing a finger off.

Then doing it again and shooting another. Gives one more chance, before he's going to blow the kids brains full out. Then Fig burning their classmates crotch with fire and Gorgug looming with an axe ready to cut his head off, before Riz even starts counting against. Full on they are ready to murder this teenager they had been friends with up until 10 minutes prior, and are actively committing probable war crimes on him. Fabian is idly commenting on "man we became bullies real fast" in the background.

They go to jail. They get out via a friend they made when they stole a car and burn down a police precinct in the process. Fabian goes into his house, comes out with an eye patch, and immediately goes to prom on his motorcycle.

They kill two older students,fight a dragon and take a full 8-hr long rest in the middle using a time watch. Riz and his mom eat the former vice principal.

The school year isn't even over yet.

At this point in time the High Five Heroes were spending hours a day killing rats, and all the whole The Bad Kids were unhinged, insane maniacs almost dying practically every time they ran off.

I love the Rat Grinders. I think they're evil little assholes (who were manipulated and taken advantage of yes, but still little shits) who I want to get murdered before The Bad Kids pull a Ragh on all their asses, revive them and change their lives. And then I want the Rat Grinders to understand.

M*A*S*H - Viewguide, S7

Are you interested in the long-running anti-war situation tragicomedy M*A*S*H (1972-1983), but there are simply so many asterisks and so many episodes?

Well I can’t help you with the asterisks, but nor can I help myself: I started watching all 11 seasons of M*A*S*H, and bringing back for you my viewing selections, chosen for The Qualities.

— — —

Season 7! An exceedingly sweet one, I'd say. Not as throw-back rambunctious as the previous season, but just real cutie.

Am also really getting the sensation at this point that our moorings have become entirely loosened from time. We're just, floating, slowly revolving in place, the only indication of the outside years the silvering of Alan Alda’s hair. In the fourth episode of this season it’s stated to be October, 1952, and then seven episodes after that it’s September, 1951. Later we celebrate the one year anniversary of the Officer's Club we built five seasons ago and also next year. When are we? We're in M*A*S*H.

Oh and BJ has a mustache now.

Gee-whiskers.

M*A*S*H - Season 7 Recommended sequence

7x03 ‘Lil’ - A very fun older lady colonel comes to the 4077th and bonds with Sherman, but the real ticket is that Hawkeye realizes he truly does not know what the “BJ” stands for, and I realize that Radar is HR. Weeping, why is that…so funny…. The standard level is noticeably lower ever since we entered Season 4, for sure, but that's also why we privilege this one for being the flirtiest, gayest episode this season by a mile, including even Margaret and Lil herself.

7x07 ‘None Like It Hot’ - They Were All So HOT, and the boys order a camping tub from Abercrombie & Fitch. Everyone wants in. You want in. Get in here.

7x11 ‘Point of View’ - Brand-new experimental swing for M*A*S*H, and I’M LIVING. For this whole episode, we’re only seeing what a soldier is seeing. They’ve just set up a camera guy on a cot, and we watch our characters coming in and out of his frame of sight, talking to him, talking to each other at a distance, occasionally just being observed without their knowing. It’s again doing part of what S4’s ‘The Interview’ does, but organically: showing these people we know so well from an outside perspective. It’s incredibly revealing. I was in love with it. Episodic television!!

7x14 ‘An Eye for a Tooth’ - Margaret is in adorable high spirits as her divorce from Donald gets ever closer, and in her charming joie de vivre gets roped into an escalating prank war with her hungover besties Hawkeye and BJ, and the surprise scamp of the hour: Charles, chaos vampire.

7x10 ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ - When I saw this title I just chuckled “Bring me it,” like a king gesturing to a plate of figs. And They Were ALL SO COLD. Blanket cloaks, a ~stunning~ new Winchester parka, everyone with their shoulders hunched up going “Hhha!”, and a couple wonderfully strange and macabre plot points in the cold night that I don’t know, just perfectly deliver a type of atmosphere that enchants me.

7x13 ‘Out of Gas’ - They’re still All So Cold, getting lightheaded from being stuck using ether in the O.R., and Father Mulcahy is on the black market again: rules.

7x20 ‘Hot Lips Is Back In Town’ - Do not let the title mislead you, this is an episode about Major Margaret Houlihan, hilarious, gung-ho, magnificent, being single and ready to revolutionize triage.

7x21 ‘C*A*V*E’ - Now for some reason this title just absolutely sends me. I can't even figure out how I'm pronouncing it in my head except that maybe it's sort of like Tim Curry saying “SpaACE!” Anyway this episode fucks, they evacuate everyone to a cave amid shelling and Hawkeye, rolling his weight from foot to foot at the entrance while his body tries to suffocate him, is like, so, time to reveal I have severe claustrophobia? Hell yeah it is.

7x22 ‘Rally Round the Flagg, Boys’ - Flagg returns, popping out in literal jump scares to people’s literal shouts, truly great, and that’s even before we get to see what happens when you toss him at Charles Emerson Winchester, encountering him for the first time. Sherm directed this one :)

7x23 ‘Preventative Medicine’ - In this season's only dark ep, but oh baby, Hawkeye, with an eerie, damned air, sets out to commit medical malpractice. Run don’t walk: to the trolley problem episode. Run. Don’t. Walk.

7x25 ‘Ain’t Love Grand’ - In this episode, Klinger addresses the fact that he’s wearing a Class A uniform by grinning that he has “a little rendezvous later and we promised each other to dress in something kinky,” and I about lost my glass. Also, Mike Farrell, director of this one, uses his first outing to announce that he conceives of Hawkeye as this cute terrible gremlin who lives to torment him in...ways.

7x26 ‘The Party’ - Sunshiny social engineer BJ Hunnicutt gets it in his tall head that their loved ones should have a party together back in the states, for the connection and comfort that will bring both them and the 4077th. This one had me, as the books say, blubbering. So dear & sweet I could expire !

And that's your set. For the die-hards, full season-long notes as usual coming soon.

Season 1 • Season 2 • Season 3 • Season 4 • Season 5 • Season 6 • Season 7 • To be continued
