halloween headcannons

lance

lance is definitely one of those couple/group costumes type of person.

he fucking loves halloween , he still goes trick of treating, this boy does not care.

he actually kind of uses his younger siblings as an excuse to go out and pretends to be watching them. but he’s the first one to snatch his favorite candy out of their bag.

you know those signs on the candy bowl that say, ‘only take one’, he doesn’t take one he takes like three pieces because he’s a rebel™ and doesn’t want to steal all the candy bc he feels bad.

with an s/o he’d do a couple costume, but probably like some pop culture reference one. like grease costume bc that’s really generic, or maybe like some anime character couple (would probably do an ed x winry costume and go all out).

with a group costume he would suggest magic mike without a doubt. everyone says no.

lance trades candy (aka steals it and claims he traded it).

he goes all out with decorations, the house and yard would be filled with Halloween decorations. the best house in the neighborhood™, all the kids love going to his house.

also he has to go to at least once haunted house a year, and surprisingly he doesn’t get scared that easily.

tries to summons demons on halloween and pretends to be possessed. everyone hates him for it smh.

he even still celebrates it while they are in space as best as he can. he gets really excited telling coran and allura about earth holidays.

he spooks everyone too, definitely plays the oujia board. and he tells coran and allura scary stories and urban legends and claims they are 100% true.

keith

surprisingly loves halloween too!!

he doesn’t really dress up but just loves the whole mood during the weeks leading up to halloween.

he watches so many horror movies the whole month and he kind of decorates his room.

he likes the idea of going to haunted house but hasn’t ever been to one. lance promised to take him to one once they get back on earth.

keith would do a generic costume, like a vampire. and like all he does is wear all black, have a cape, and dollar store fake teeth that glow in the dark. buys fake blood and just pats it on his face.

okay he dressed up as the grudge boy one year and freaked everyone out.

he doesn’t go trick or treating.

but he also doesn’t personally give candy out to kids. (i mean he lives in the fucking middle of nowhere) but let’s say he lived in a neighborhood he would just be that person that leaves a bowl of candy out and just tapes a sign on that says, ‘take a few. NOT ALL.’

he has no opinion on couple or group costumes. doesn’t care either way.

wow, get ready for this, but when he gets back on earth after the whole universe is saved and what not. he finally has a family to spend the holidays with and he’s so happy and he will do whatever they want too. he’s just so happy.

oh, he plays along with lance when lance is telling coran and allura about the urban legends and spooky stories. and says that lance isn’t lying that it’s 100% true.

even adds in his own details and makes up so. he’s literally so amazing at playing along.

he finds it really funny how spooked allura and coran are getting and how they keep saying humans are messed up.

he tells allura and coran that, “big foot attacked him in his house one day and he had to fight him.”

oh and he definitely takes a handful of candy when it says only take one. smh

shiro

shiro is a simple man. he enjoys the holidays. he went to halloween parties, he went trick or treating, he went to haunted houses / mazes.

he usually dresses up as a tv show/movie character though, and his costumes were always 10/10.

he enjoys decorating and he doesn’t go all out like lance, he has a cute and neat yard and house. you know like some styrofoam gravestones, an inflatable pumpkin or skeleton, spooky colored lights, spider webs, a skeleton somewhere and a bat. his folks are simple.

enjoys couple and group costumes a lot but hates planning it and getting everyone to go through with it.

watches a lot of halloween movies, not necessarily horror, just kidish movies from his childhood with the occasional spooky one thrown in.

considers the nightmare before christmas a halloween movie.

gives away a lot of candy, like two handfuls per kid bc he just can’t resists how cute and excited they look. always spends way to much on candy every year but it’s worth it seeing the children smile and get amazed. buys the brand names candy too.

he doesn’t play along with lance telling allura and coran about the spooky things on earth. just kind of sits back and relaxes, until he realizes that coran and allura are legitimately getting freaked out.

refuses to let lance play the ouji board. will through hands if necessary (jk shiro wouldn’t do that.)

pidge

the type of person to change their username to something ‘spooky’.

dresses up as a meme, ‘you know i had to do it to em.’

or dresses up as a cartoon character, one year she did mandy from billy and mandy the next year she did raven from teen titans. everyone loved it so fucking much.

queen of creating the best costumes.

‘Nightmare before Christmas is a halloween movie.’ those are fighting words

‘NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IS A FUCKING CHRISTMAS MOVIE SHIRO!!’

not much of a decorater honestly.

buys candy to give out, but ends up eating it all before halloween comes around. actually doesn’t regret it but pretends too.

she of course watches horror and halloween movies the whole month.

loves scary people. smh evil pidge.

actually takes two handfuls of candy when it only says take one.

doesn’t like group or couple costumes.

definitely plays along with lance when he’s telling allura and coran spooky things.

hunk

always has a small get together for halloween and bakes the best shit. has the best goodie bags and the best decorations.

he either dresses up as gordon ramsey or a witch every year.

doesn’t really care too much for haunted houses or horror movies not that he’s necessarily scared of any of it since he knows it’s fake.

he prefers the more lighthearted side of the holiday.

he never really goes trick or treating he likes staying home and giving out candy. he’s actually the best house on the block all the kids rush to his house. gives out the big candy bars and like capri suns.

loves watching the kid halloween movies, makes him nostalgic.

okay but this boy does like spooking people on halloween. especially lance. will just randomly slam the door open while lance is in the shower wearing a scary mask. works every time to scare lance.

he doesn’t get easily scared though surprisingly.

doesn’t like group costumes so much but likes couple costumes.

says nothing while lance spooks allura and coran with his stories, waits to see how far lance can get before they start doubting him.

bonus

— once they get to earth the group costume is definitely scooby doo or stranger things themed costumes. anything that has a large group. definitely get allura and coran to participate it.

New Girl on the Block (17)

(sorry for the late update everyone! I spent time with family this weekend and got a little side tracked lol anyway, please enjoy chapter 17 of “New Girl on the Block” and as always, feel free to check out the mini series connected to this called Journal Entries!)

Ch.1 / Ch.16 / Ch.18 (ao3)

Chapter 17: Subtlety Is Key

The platform ladder that Marinette was standing on sat firmly in Felix’s grip as he watched her attempt to pin a stream of hearts to the wall. She appeared to be having trouble deciding which angle was best, moving her end of the stream up and down while staring at the other end, which was already pinned up, and squinting. He half wondered if she was going to take this long on every stream of hearts she pinned up, since she'd been doing the same up-and-down motion for a while now, but he also didn’t mind waiting if she did. The longer he stood here, the better his chances were of escaping the task of writing those “thank you” cards that Allegra liked to put in her party favors. She always managed to rope him into it, saying that his handwriting was the best amongst them, which, in truth, it was, but why not save the trouble and type out the message on the computer in a curly font? Surely, it would have the same effect.

“Felix, does this look straight to you?”

Felix dragged his gaze back up to Marinette, who was frowning at the spot that she’d finally decided to stop on. The stream of hearts hung to her right, making a nice curve on the wall that looked fine, but he wouldn’t be able to say for certain until he acquired a level, which they didn’t have.

“As straight as it can get, I imagine.” He replied. Even if it was a tad off, the guests would hardly notice. They’ll be too busy mingling and dancing around.

A sigh fell from the ravenette, and she lowered the hearts to give him a tired look. “How is that supposed to help me?”

“Well, it’s definitely not straight now. Does that help?”

Marinette pressed her lips into a thin line, obviously disgruntled, and Felix clenched his jaw to avoid smiling. Perhaps he should wait until she got off the ladder to continue. She might kick him in the face otherwise.

“Why are you here if you’re not going to be useful?” She grumbled, turning back to the wall.

A snort escaped Felix’s lips. “I am being useful. I’m holding the ladder so you don’t fall and break your neck.”

“Bold of you to assume I won’t fall whether the ladder is steady or not.”

“Which is another reason why I’m here.” He replied smoothly. “To catch you.”

Marinette hummed, glancing down at him from the corner of her eye. “How kind of you.”

“Yes, it really is, isn’t it?”

She breathed out a small laugh and shook her head, coaxing a smirk from Felix as well.

It’s been about a week since they stayed up all night talking at Allegra’s house, since things between them changed, since things with him changed. He couldn’t quite place what had caused it, except that it was most definitely her. The way she listened to him wholeheartedly throughout the entire night, hanging on his every word, offering support when needed and trading a few stories herself- It made him feel heard, which was immensely strange. Because he’d been heard before, plenty of times in fact. It was nothing new. So why was that night different? Was it because of the soft atmosphere that the moon provided? Or because they were both somewhat tired despite saying otherwise? Why did his entire being feel so clear and refreshed when they went up to bed later on?

Whatever happened, he’d assumed that the feeling would be gone by morning, since nighttime conversations hardly travel to the next day, but imagine his surprise when the feeling swelled full force in his chest the next day, specifically when he greeted Marinette in the hall. It was as crystal clear as the night before, and it had yet to fade even now.

Felix didn’t understand. Not at all. But he certainly wasn’t going to dispute it. He actually began encouraging the feeling, talking with Marinette on a more constant basis, muttering in her direction during conversations, asking more casual questions, throwing around a joke or two about the others when it seemed appropriate- he even found himself teasing her at one point, which led him to the wonderful realization that Marinette Dupain-Cheng was much sassier than he’d given her credit for. Despite her surprise, she’d snapped back immediately, a playful glare in her eyes and a smirk on her lips, and with an unexpected reaction like that, Felix couldn’t not tease her more. That would simply be a waste.

In the following week, he continued to talk with her, and continued to learn how much of a wild card she truly was. She never reacted to his teasing the same way. For example, one minute, she would blush, the next she would smack him, or roll her eyes and shoot right back without a second thought, or even pout. There was no telling what she was going to do next, and Felix eagerly anticipated her next move each time. It was fun for him now, fun to talk with her, fun to see her smirks and glares and giggles when he did. He could understand why Claude, Allegra, and Allan would want to talk with everyone and anyone if they all acted like her.

Their dynamic had definitely changed over the last few days, and although he wasn’t sure how much Marinette had noticed it herself, Felix knew he was thoroughly enjoying the shift.

“There.” Marinette said above him, leaning back to put her hands on her hips. “How’s that?”

Felix’s eyes glazed over the stream of hearts again, and he let out a hum. “A bit more to the left.”

Her shoulders drooped. “Are you serious?”

“No.”

The narrowed yet playful glare that she shot him had Felix holding back another chuckle, and he innocently moved to grab one of the pink, inflated balloons on the table next to them to hand it to her.

“Why do I ask you anything anymore?” She asked as she took the balloon from him.

“Because you know I’m an excellent judge when it comes to fine craftsmanship, such as the stream of hearts hanging above us on the wall right now.”

Marinette scoffed, tacking the balloon to the wall just above the first decoration. “What, are you kissing up to me now? Are you trying to butter me up so I’ll bring you more cheesy croissants?”

Felix shot her a look of feigned offense. “I wouldn’t dream of it, not after the amount of pain and effort that went into the making of those decorations.”

Now she was glaring at him. “Exactly how long do you plan on holding that paper cut against me?”

“I haven’t the faintest idea what you’re talking about.” Felix replied, a slight smile betraying his lips as he did.

Marinette huffed, letting her eyes flick up in an eyeroll, and started back down the ladder. Felix moved back to let her off, before grabbing the ladder again to lift it over to the next wall. They still had two more streams to put up.

“You seem to be more present today.” He commented, thinking back on the get-together they had yesterday. She’d been lost in her own thoughts through the first part of it, so much so that Allegra felt the need to ask her if she was alright. Marinette didn’t get to answer due to Claude jumping in, but when Felix asked her about it again a bit later, she quickly froze up, saying that she’d rather keep it to herself for the time being.

Felix understood, of course, and he said as much, but that didn’t stop him from being curious. Or even a bit concerned. She always had a specific look when that model was involved, and she’d worn it openly yesterday. Therefore, he could only assume that that was part of the trouble, but how much trouble? Did they run into each other again? Did he text her? Did he go looking for her somewhere? There were too many possibilities and not enough clues for Felix to draw a firm conclusion. He couldn’t even be sure that Agreste was the problem in the first place.

“Did your troubles sort themselves out?” He added, trying not to look at her too much as he did. Felix didn’t want to pry, but he did want to make sure she was handling herself alright. (Not that that was really in question at this point. After that run-in with the akuma, they all knew quite well that Marinette could take care of things when she needed to.)

Marinette paused at the base of the ladder, tilting her head at him with a questioning glance. “My troubles?”

A slight frown tugged at the corner of Felix’s lips. Had she forgotten already? It must not have been that important, then..

“You said something was bothering you yesterday.” He said anyway.

“Oh!” Understanding washed over her features, but a grimace quickly followed. “Oh.”

Felix rose a brow. Did that mean the problem wasn’t resolved?

“Um.. no.” She said, offering a bit of clarity as she fiddled with the next stream of hearts that they were supposed to be hanging up. “No, it’s still very much there, unfortunately. I’m not sure how everything’s going to work out yet.”

Felix nodded. “I see. I apologize for bringing it up, then.”

“No, no, you’re fine.” She insisted as she climbed the ladder. “I know you were just trying to help.”

“Besides,” Marinette threw another smile over her shoulder, one that was clearly softer than the smirks she’d been giving him earlier, “if it gets to be too much, I’m sure you’ll come to rescue again. So you can have something else to brag about.”

Felix’s eyes widened, admittedly knocked off balance by the comment. Joking about being rescued wasn’t entirely unusual, but ‘again’? What did she mean ‘again’? Did she think he rescued her before? When? Why did he find himself feeling immensely pleased with the thought?

“Of course..” He muttered absently. “I do love to brag, you know.”

It was a bland remark to be sure, not nearly one of his best, but Marinette laughed anyway, as she always did, and turned back around to start pinning the next stream of hearts to the wall.

Felix continued to watch.

~~~~~~

Bzzt. Bzzt.

Adrien lunged for his phone, unlocking it with his fingerprint before it could even finish vibrating, and tapped the notification. Was it her? Had she finally decided to text him? Please let it be her!

A news app flashed onto his screen, and his shoulders sagged as he realized that Marinette hadn’t texted him. How long was she going to wait? It’s already been a full day, and winter break was fading fast. He knew these things could take time, but they honestly didn’t have a lot of that right now. Once school started up again, his schedule was going to go right back to packed, and he’d barely be able to breathe let alone go see her. He didn’t want their precious chance to hang-out to go to waste.

“You good, dude?” Nino asked next to him. “You’ve been hovering around your phone all day. Is something going on?”

“Oh, uh-” Adrien sat up, pushing away his phone and disappointment. Marinette was going to text him eventually. He just needed to be patient. “No, everything’s fine. Père just likes to stay in touch with me while I’m out, so I want to make sure I don’t miss any text messages or anything.”

Nino frowned. “Isn’t sending Gorilla with you enough?”

Adrien shrugged. “Yeah, but you know how he is. He likes to stay on top of things.”

Disgruntlement flicked across Nino’s features, and he tugged his hat down slightly to hide it, muttering, “Or he just likes to control everything.”

Adrien smiled despite the comment. “Come on, he’s not that bad. He let us hang out today, right?”

Nino nodded, though his frown didn’t fade. “Yeah, I guess that’s true.. Just don’t let him distract you from our game. We still have a tie to break.”

Adrien straightened and grabbed the controller that he’d dropped earlier. “Course not! Père or no, I still have plenty of focus to beat you.”

Nino let out a playful scoff. “Sure, dude. We’ll see who beats who this time.”

Adrien chuckled and positioned himself on the couch, and the two jokingly counted down before starting the next match.

Keeping Nino in the dark about Marinette wasn’t something Adrien enjoyed- they were best friends, after all -but he didn’t want to risk talking about her now. The class was only just now starting to be suspicious of Lila, and even then, it was light, joking. They weren’t serious about it yet. If they knew he was meeting up with Marinette, the person they still weren’t entirely fond of, it might serve as a disadvantage to him. What if they stopped listening to him because he was talking with her? He couldn’t take that chance. He needed to get his feet planted firmly on the ground before taking any rash steps forward.

That said, he did need to take some sort of step forward. Lila trying to make a deal with him last week was extremely reassuring, since it meant that she herself thought of him as a threat, but he also knew that he couldn’t slack off because of it. Muttering over her shoulder wasn’t going to work forever, and if he didn’t find a way to crank up the pressure soon, she would start countering his subtle attacks. Maybe he could start talking to people directly? While they were alone. He could talk to them more about Lila and ask if her stories are suspicious.. But what if he talks to the wrong person? Depending on who he conversed with, they might round on him in an instant, and his plan would crumble again. No, he needed to be careful about this. He needed to start with someone he could trust.

“....So,” Adrien glanced at Nino, because who better to start with than his best friend? “what are your thoughts on Lila?”

If Adrien wanted to change everyone’s opinion of Marinette and Lila, he supposed he would have to know those opinion’s first, and Nino, he felt, was the perfect candidate for that. He was a chill, relaxed person, who pretty much liked everybody. (Everybody except Adrien’s father, that is.) His opinion of Lila should be similar to an average of everyone else’s opinion, and Adrien could use that as an estimation of Lila’s- hopefully decreasing -popularity.

Nino scrunched up his nose, clearly confused by the change of subject. “Lila? I mean, she’s alright. Pretty nice. Alya really likes her.”

Adrien nodded thoughtfully. That was about what he expected him to say. “What do you think about her stories? It seems like she’s been everywhere, doesn’t it?”

Nino snorted. “Right? She says she knows everybody and anybody. It’s pretty crazy.”

Adrien’s eyes widened slightly, though Nino didn’t notice. ‘She says she knows everybody’? Not ‘she knows everybody’? If Adrien didn’t know any better, he might say that sounded a little bit like doubt.

“You don’t believe her?” He asked, carefully.

“No, no, I do.” Nino rushed to say, ignoring the game console that was now blinking ‘defeat’ on his side. “It’s just.. you know.. crazy. She’s been all over the world, knows all these different people, and she’s only fifteen. And she kept up with the school the whole time. It sounds like a lot.”

“Yeah, it definitely does.” Adrien agreed, setting his controller aside and hiding a smile. “And now, she’s been taking up the job as class president, even though she’s still planning charity events and working at homeless shelters and hanging out with Alya and the rest of the girls and doing homework.. It makes you wonder how she fits it all into her schedule.”

Nino chuckled. “Yeah, I- It’s.. I don’t know. I definitely couldn’t do it. What about you, though? What do you think about her? You seem to be really interested in her lately.”

Adrien had to bite the inside of his cheek to avoid laughing. Interesting was a word.

“Ah, well.. I guess I’m just curious about her more than anything. I’m a model who goes places and meets people all the time, and I haven’t met nearly as many famous people as she has. I wanna learn how she’s managed to not get in any news or magazines so far-”

Bzzt. Bzzt.

Adrien paused mid-word to whirl around and check his phone. He was honestly preparing himself for the disappointment already- why would this time be any different? -when his eyes landed on the tiny speech bubble that represented his text messaging app. His insides leaped at this sight, and he tried to swallow his excitement as he tapped the notification. Was it her? Had she finally texted him?

Marinette’s name splayed across the top of the screen, and it took every ounce of discipline for Adrien not to leap off the couch and cheer. She’d texted him! Marinette had finally texted him back!

~Hey, sorry it took me so long to text you. I’ve been helping my friends out with something. If you want, I can meet up with you at (something) café for lunch on Feb. 15th? Does that work for you?~

Lunch! Adrien wanted to scream. She was inviting him to lunch! Marinette did want to hang out with him more! This was perfect!

He quickly texted her back.

~That sounds great! I’ll see you then ;D~

Adrien hadn’t even checked his schedule yet, but that didn’t matter. He was making this lunch date no matter what. Then he could talk with Marinette about his plans and maybe convince her to come back and-

“Was that your dad?” Nino asked, breaking Adrien from his thoughts yet again. That was probably a good thing though. He shouldn’t be getting too ahead of himself. From the way things looked, Marinette was really enjoying her new school life. It will probably take a lot of convincing to get her to come back. For now, he needed to take things slowly.

Slowly.

“Oh, yeah.” Adrien said, cool as a cucumber. “He was just telling me about my next photoshoot.”

“Another one? It’s not going to stop us from hanging out, is it?”

“No, no, it shouldn’t.” Not that he knew of, anyway. The only thing his meeting with Marinette would hopefully affect was everyone’s opinions of Lila.

Nino relaxed slightly at the answer. “Good. He over-works you way too much. You should ask for a raise or something.”

Adrien laughed. “I think I’d rather keep the time off that he gives me. Anyway, you ready to play another round? You lost, so now you have to catch back up.”

Nino eyed his controller with a slight smile. “Whatever, man, you know I’m gonna pass you up without a problem.”

“Sure you are.” Adrien smirked. “Just like how you were gonna pass me up last round.”

Nino laughed and snatched his controller up. “Oh, it’s on, dude.”

~~~~~~

Allegra drew in a deep breath, reveling in the scent of the special candles she’d ordered. Patchouli and Rosewood- the perfect thing to accentuate the rose bouquets delicately placed on the round tables and encourage the romantic mood for their party. With the lights dimmed and everyone dancing together on top of that, hearts were bound to be captured, and she couldn’t wait to see it, especially when it came to a particular pair.

Allegra set her candle down and subtly glanced over her shoulder at Felix and Marinette, who were currently stringing up the last stream of hearts on the other side of the room. They were both laughing and talking together, completely comfortable as Felix held the ladder steady and Marinette pinned her last balloon at the end of the stream. It was a cliché couple, really- the stoic, uptight rich boy falling hard for the sweet, adorable bakery girl -but Allegra was determined to see it work out. She’s always prided herself on getting unlikely people together, and these two were going to be her ultimate achievement. Of course, at this point, she supposed she could hardly call them an unlikely couple. They’ve been rather in-step with each other as of late. What with their muttering to each other during group-hang outs and sharing secret looks and sitting near each other on a regular basis. She might be inclined to be excited for the progress if she had any idea as to why they were suddenly so close. Last week, Felix was still gritting his teeth about being caught looking at Marinette, yet today, he’s talking and smiling and laughing with her openly. Laughing! Felix doesn’t laugh. He scowls and hisses and maybe smirks when he’s in a good mood, but he doesn’t laugh. Something monumental must have happened between the two that would encourage him to do so. So what was it? When was it? Her entire body was itching to know, and the fact that she knew she couldn’t ask only made it worse. If she tried to ask Felix about the event, he might clam up again, regressing the friendship. If she tried to ask Marinette about the event, the ravenette would probably become flustered or more hyper aware of Felix’s subconscious advancements, which, again, would probably regress the friendship. She was stuck either way.

“They’re driving me crazy.” She finally said, knowing the boys would hear her. If she couldn’t confirm her theories about Felix and Marinette’s interactions, she would rant about them to Claude and Allan instead.

As usual, Claude was the first to respond, glancing up from the party favors she had him arranging to ask, “What? Who’s driving you crazy?”

Allegra turned to him with a sigh and tilted her head ever-so-slightly in the “lovebirds’” direction. “They are. They’re acting differently than they were before, and I don’t know why.”

Claude straightened to glance over her shoulder for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly.

“You mean Felix and Marinette? They look the same to me.”

Allegra scrunched up her nose with a scoff. “What do you mean they look the same? You think Felix just laughs like that on a regular basis?”

Allan wandered over to their conversation then, also watching Marinette and Felix. The blond and ravenette didn’t even look up from the hearts on the wall, which was another big sign that they were becoming increasingly engrossed in each other. Felix was normally highly aware of his surroundings, as was Allegra, and he usually would have noticed the trio’s stares by now. But he didn’t, because he was too busy looking at Marinette instead.

“They have been a bit chummy lately.” Allan agreed, bringing a smile to Allegra’s lips. At least someone besides herself was paying attention.

“Well, yeah, but we knew that already.” Claude said. “They like each other, don’t they? Of course they would be chummy.”

“Yes, but not like that.” Allegra insisted. “Whether Felix likes her or not doesn’t change the fact that he’s technically being open around all of us right now. Isn’t that a bit strange to you? Besides, we still don’t actually know for sure that Marinette has a crush on Felix.”

Claude gave her a look. “What? I thought you said that she got all blushy and stuff when you talked about Felix at the sleepover.”

“She was, but Marinette gets blushy about a lot of things. And I was talking about how comfortable Felix is around her. That would probably make any girl blush.”

“She has a point,” Allan spoke up, “but I do think she might like him. She always gets this certain vibe when he’s around.”

“Oh, it’s definitely a possibility.” Allegra agreed. “You can totally spot the little ‘glow’ she gets when he talks with her, and even that’s improved since Felix changed things up.”

Claude’s eyes widened as he glanced at the pair again, seeming to study them closer this time. “Do you think she’s glowing more because he’s changed?”

“I’d say so,” Allegra answered, tapping her finger to her lip, “But what I want to know is why he changed and when. It can’t have been anything short of last week, because they only started acting this way recently, but what could have happened that we didn’t see? We’ve been with them the whole time.”

“Maybe they’ve been hanging out by themselves?” Allan suggested. “They’re not tied to us, you know.”

“I know, but wouldn’t we have heard about it? Marinette sends us pictures and such all the time. She would have mentioned her and Felix hanging out by themselves.”

Unless Marinette simply didn’t want to offend them, but Allegra still didn’t buy that explanation. As far as she knew, Felix and Marinette’s shift happened sometime after the sleepover, if not right after. It was as though they’d fallen asleep as usual, then woke up as different people entirely when it came to each other. So whatever happened must have happened during the sleepover.. but when? They were all together most of the night. Allegra supposed it could have happened during Hide and Seek, when they were all spread across the mansion, but moments like those were too quick and too tense and she certainly would have noticed Felix’s change in behavior then. That left her with.. A dead end, because the rest of the night, Marinette and Felix were always with one of the trio, even when they were all sleeping.

Unless the two hadn’t been sleeping..

“I don’t think we should overthink it.” Allan said, lightly nudging his shoulder into Allegra’s. “Marinette seems happier around Felix, and Felix is definitely happier around Marinette, so I say we take the win and let them keep getting closer on their own.”

“I agree.” Claude chimed in, surprising Allegra. He normally enjoyed meddling in others’ affairs as much as she did. “If they’ve made it this far without us getting too involved, they're bound to confess to each other at tomorrow’s party, especially with the ‘fake date’ we have planned for them.”

A smile found its way back onto Allegra’s lips. So he did intend to meddle. He just didn’t want to overthink Felix and Marinette’s sudden progress. She should have known.

“That reminds me: I still have to finish arranging that.” Allegra remarked.

She spun on her heel, leaving the boys to their tasks again, and began crossing the room to Felix and Marinette. Their chuckles and smiles quieted down as she approached, but she paid it no mind. Felix was mostly the one to stop laughing, anyway.

“Are you guys all done?” Allegra inquired, not missing the way Felix gently touched Marinette’s arm to help her get off the ladder.

Marinette flashed her a smile. “Yep! We just finished the last streamer. What’s next?”

Allegra let out a hum. “Well, Felix still has to write all of those ‘thank you’ letters for the party favors-”

A tired sigh left the blond.

“-and we have to set up the caterer’s foods, but they aren’t coming in till tomorrow. So I think we’re pretty much done. Claude and Allan are just now finishing their last tasks too.”

“Oh, good!” Marinette beamed. “The place looks great already. I can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions tomorrow.”

Allegra smiled. “Neither can I. By the way, since everything’s practically set up, you two can go ahead and stay home until the party starts. That way you both have time to get ready.”

A hint of concern flicked across the ravenette’s features as she knitted her eyebrows together. “Are you sure? I don’t mind coming in early with you guys.”

“I do,” Felix cut in, a slight smirk on his lips as he added, “and I will gladly take the extra free time.”

Allegra smirked as well, because she knew that comment had to be for Marinette’s viewing pleasure. He wouldn’t have had a smirk otherwise, nor would he have held that mischievous glint in his eyes.

Of course, Marinette breathed out a chuckle and briefly rolled her eyes, capturing Felix’s attention immediately. She then offered Allegra a meaningful smile.

“Well, if you change your mind, you can always text me.”

“Of course, but in case I don’t, why don’t you have Felix pick you up for the party tomorrow? Since you’re both not going to be arriving until later.”

Marinette and Felix exchanged a look, as though they were silently asking each other’s opinions, and Allegra had to hold back a snort. They were already reading each other and communicating in their own way. It was too cute and all too obvious. How did Claude not notice the difference earlier?

“I wouldn’t mind if you need a ride,” Felix finally spoke, pulling his shoulders up in a slight shrug, “but it’s your decision.”

Allegra swallowed a coo and glanced to the side, because this person in front of her who used to be dead-set on not helping anyone or scowling the whole way was being incredibly considerate, and she desperately needed a before-and-after video.

Marinette smiled up at him. “A ride would be nice, thanks. That way I don’t have to bother Maman or Papa about taking me at the end of their work shift.”

It was just the answer Allegra wanted to hear. Felix will be the first one to see Marinette in her new dress, and he will have plenty of time to become flustered over it during their drive to the party. Missing Felix’s face when he went to fetch Marinette was going to be a shame- since he himself mentioned how stunning she would look -but if they were lucky, perhaps he’ll still be wearing the expression when the two arrive.

“Great! I’ll call my driver so we can start getting ready to leave then.” Allegra said with a smile.

Marinette nodded. “Sounds good. I’ll go grab my purse and put up the ladder.”

“I’ll put up the ladder.” Felix cut in, already moving to close it.

A frown tugged at the corner of her lips. “Are you sure?”

“Yes. They like their tools to be put back a certain way.”

“Oh, okay. Thanks, then.”

Allegra watched Marinette walk off, feeling a fresh wave of determination.. Gosh, they were already acting like they were in love with each other. Well, Felix was at least. Marinette was about that kind to anyone. Either way, things were going smoothly now, and it should only take a carefully-timed push for the two to really get the ball rolling.

Valentine’s Day, Marinette and Felix being dressed up, both of them being alone together while dressed up, the sudden closeness- finally, all of her plans were coming together. The only thing that could possibly make this better was if Cupid himself came out to see them swoon over each other.

That wasn’t going to happen, of course, but it didn’t need to, because Allegra was going to be glad to take his place.

So, the world is a dystopian nightmare- I know this. You know this. If we forget, we are certain to be reminded very quickly.

And a little bit ago, I wrote a recap/long post of me squeeing over an episode of Chuck, because it’s amazing and does not get enough love. And I thought about doing a write up of each episode following, but a couple of problems there: I was close to the end of the fourth season and I’m sorry the fifth season I usually skip, I just don’t like what they did with it. So I thought, why not start from the beginning?

This part recap/part Buzzfeed post “thoughts I had while watching this”/part of a series called “Kerry is losing her mind so she’s rewatching shit”

If you’ve seen Chuck I hope you like it- if you haven’t I hope it makes you want to.

The world sucks. Be safe ♥️♥️❌❌

And now, Chuck!

So many lights in Los Angeles!

Already from the beginning, Chuck is involved in a life or death mission… he is trying to sneak out of his birthday party lol.

Oh my god I forgot how goofy Zachary Levi’s hair was the first couple years! So big and curly…

Not that it’s bad looking, just damn Zachary Levi is a real snack now.

The shot of Ellie opening the door and Chuck is sitting next to the window and Morgan is also sitting next to the window… outside.

I think this goes with the haircuts, but so many times in the early ones, Chuck is like a guilty twelve year old in the cutest way.

That could also be because Ellie’s mom game is is STRONG here.

Ooh, Chuck called Ellie “sis”- I know the internet DOES NOT LIKE when this happens in shows because it NEVER HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE EVER (this is funny to me because I have one older brother, and he has called me sis pretty much our whole lives. I’m not saying it’s the same for everyone but it does happen).

Although I do agree with Chuck here- that would be super awkward if the party for *your* party was populated by your sisters very successful friends.

Like Ellie’s heart is in the right place… and if I was the kind of person who could handle being in a room full of strangers maybe then I wouldn’t be so excited to recap shows from 2007 on the internet lol.

From the very beginning, Chuck and Morgan are us against the world, ride or die besties and I love that… can’t go wrong with a show with ride or die besties!

Oh so early, we just have the title card and no theme song, about the girl with short skirt and longgggg jacket.

Captain Awesome!

Writing this with the Barbie movie coming out, how did they not ask this man to be Ken?

Like I can’t think of anything he’s been in besides Chuck (maybe a Sugarland music video?) but he literally resembles a Ken doll come to life.

I always liked that Captain Awesome/Devon wasn’t the dude bro he looks like he would be; like I can’t imagine living with my brother and his partner but that low key seems like it’d be weird (and my brother is single lol) but Devon is always eager to help Chuck like a little brother. Yay positive family relationships!

Back to Chuck. Chuck, at this point, has no game.

He gets a good line here- “working on my five year plan… just need to a choose a font”.

Ugh that question - “what do you really want to do?” Is the WORST.

Like, I REALLY want to make money by taking walks and listening to playlists on my phone- what SHOULD I do to have to money to buy food? Like i goddamn know!

First mention of Bryce!

Like Chuck looked uncomfortable when the conversation started, and now that it’s shifted over to “great guy in engineering” Bryce… Chuck mumbles he thinks Bryce is now an accountant.

As Bryce falls from a ceiling covered in blood, a caption appears on the screen to confirm, he is not, in fact, an accountant.

Remember how I said Chuck has no game? Yeah Chuck has less than no game- as he babbles about the girl he met his freshman year of college.

And when he looks up, he’s babbling to himself.

Aww that awkward spin around as he tries to figure out where the girls went… oh sweet baby Chuck.

Back to Bryce- yelling! Bleeding! Exploding!

Alarms going off! Proof that he might have been a gymnast like that girl at the party said! Roof leaping!

And then, just when it looks like he’s escaped-

CASEY!!!!

As Bryce lies on the ground, he sends an email and his phone sizzles. “Too late Casey”.

Post party, everyone has left but the Echo Park Four; Chuck, Ellie, Morgan and Awesome (I know Morgan doesn’t live there yet but this first season has a lot with the four of them).

Ellie tries to gently point out that your ex girlfriend is not good party conversation and he does need to move on; he mutters he’ll get over Jill tomorrow and harrumphs away (but the next day he WILL meet the person with which he will move on and marry and be happy with if the stupid last season hadn’t screwed it up!)

Morgan- awkward in a slightly more creepy way. Ellie’s just like “plz stop”.

Matt Bomer was still being credited as Matthew Bomer- which has nothing to do with anything but I found interesting.

Chuck gets an email from Bryce!

I’m sorry I do not know enough about video games to know about this part.

Chuck kicks Morgan out so he can answer the email- but calls “pedal safe” over his shoulder.

Chuck answers the email- and uploads the intersect!

All night it uploads until his alarm goes off at 7.

Chuck wakes up seeing the images over Morgan and his fried computer.

He has his first flash when he’s in the shower from something he heard on the radio (Which it seems they show pie in the flashes a lot).

First appearance of the nerd herder!

Which- at a job like this do you get to take the car home? Like they do installs and stuff but then do you use it to grocery shop?

The Buy More- quite the good off brand for Best Buy.

The nerd herders! And Anna!

I missed Anna after they got rid of her.

Everyone turns to glare at Morgan for putting the porn actress in the computer.

Chuck is talking- and has a flash! While he’s talking… and confusing everyone… including himself.

There’s a different general Beckman this episode!

Still no nonsense with red hair- but I do prefer the general Beckman we’ll see the rest of the show.

I liked General Graham too- there was a lot in the first season that really just existed in the first season.

Casey is headed to LA- the idea of him tanning is an amusing one.

Snap! Sarah Walker is in the buy more!

Repeat- Sarah Walker is in the buy more!

Chuck rapping Vicky Vale and then seeing Sarah and the phone falling onto the desk is a thing of beauty.

“Sarah: I didn’t think people still named their kids Chuck. Or Morgan, for that matter.

Chuck: Oh my parents were sadists, and carnival freaks found him in a dumpster…

Morgan: But they raised me as one of their own!”

One of the first times we see that Chuck really has the biggest heart; when he helps the dad who didn’t record his daughters ballet recital (which it’s like how did you think it was recording if there was nothing in there? “Its digital” YA NITWIT!

The phrase “nice guy” has been ruined for me, cause Chuck isn’t a Nice Guy, like Ted Mosby is a Nice Guy, where he really needs you to acknowledge how “nice” he is and how grateful you should he he deigns to help you. Chuck is such a sweet guy, he genuinely wants to help everyone.

Another only in season one person- Harry Tang!

It’s like dude, you may not be a stock boy anymore, but you are in an electronic store. Take it down a notch or a hundred.

Sarah is gone when Chuck looks back- but she left her number!

Chuck tells Morgan he won’t call Sarah because “did you see her?” Chuck you’re tall, and endearing and adorable! Even if your hair is so silly right now.

They get into Chuck’s place- and a ninja is stealing his computer!

Chuck and Morgan are NO match for said ninja.

“Didn’t you hang that shelf?” Chuck to Morgan as they lie in pain on the floor, after the computer the ninja was trying to steal broke into a million little pieces on the floor when the shelf gave way.

Outside the ninja runs into a car and jets off- and it’s Sarah!!

Kind of disappointing to see a ninja jump into a car though, tbh.

JEFFSTER!

Also both their first lines of dialogue perfectly encapsulate their characters and their weirdness-

Lester: This hard drive… was murdered!

Jeff: Maybe you were the unwitting target of a ninja vendetta who returns tonight to strangle you with his nunchucks.

When Chuck points out this does not exactly make him feel better, Jeff winks. Lordy.

The Chuck multiverse version of Walmart- Large Mart!

Which makes me wonder- is there a real version of Underpants Etc?

We get a good shot of Chuck’s chucks as he walks around the Large mart… where he flashes on a man with a leather jacket and accent.

Frantic, Chuck to warn one of the cashiers.. but just ends up sounding crazy. Leather jacket man is watching Chuck.

Wow, this post is already really long- I’m gonna split it into two posts.

I’ll be back for part two of the Chuck pilot!

When we return, Sarah is insisting to General Graham that she can fix it!

I’ll be back!

Soulmates

Richie Tozier x Reader {Soulmate AU}

Warning: None that I can think of

Word Count: +1,600

A/N: Hello! I accidentally got into an IT mood and a Soulmate au mood, so I whipped this up! Hope y'all enjoy it! Please comment what you think and like!(Also, this GIF is the best thing I’ve ever seen and had to use it lol)

~~~

Y/N, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl, nice to finally be introduced

You couldn't help but giggle as you imagined when you would meet your soulmate. You always liked to imagine them as suave and kind, seeing as all you knew about them was the nice words that were written neatly on your wrist. Their words were smooth for your first interaction, though you hoped they were using it to cover their nerves.

"Y/N, come on! Stop daydreaming, let's go!" You heard your friend say, nudging you before starting down the hall.

You rolled your eyes and sent a playful glare her way before closing your locker and following your group of friends down the hallway. Everyday your friends and you all stood by your locker as you waited for the bell to ring, and just like always, you had gotten caught up in your thoughts.

You couldn't help it, it was like the entire world revolved around finding your soulmate, and you couldn't help but feel impatient. All three of you close friends had found their soulmates, either in earlier years or over last summer, and all that was left was you. They constantly mentioned their boyfriends and how magical their meetings were while you sat, happy for them, but left out and bored.

It wasn't a real surprise when your friend came back after the summer break with the news that she had met her soulmate. Her indicator was the red string, so her soulmate took advantage of the summer and traveled to find her. It was endearing but you couldn't help but feel a bit weirded out. It felt a bit odd that he had traveled with no clear destination, not to mention his parents being okay with it, and yet you still couldn't help the jealous feelings come up.

Of course, while two of your friends were blessed with the Timer Indicators and the other the Red String, you had been given the First Spoken Words Indicator, meaning the first thing your soulmate says to you is tattooed across the inside of your wrist. This left meeting your soulmate a complete mystery. You could be meeting your soulmate in two hours or twenty years, and you would never know. And thanks to fate, you had no control of where you could meet either, like your friend with the Red String did.

You shook your thoughts away when you heard someone from you group yell a snide remark to a group of boys as you walked past them.

"-wouldn't you want to know, Trashmouth!" She yelled to a smirking boy before turning away and continuing down the hall, your other friends giggling at her comeback.

He had over sized glasses that over magnified his eyes and curly, dark hair that laid messily over his forehead. His group of friends seemed annoyed by whatever he had said to your friends, as they tried pulling his away with them. His eyes drifted away from your friends and down to yours. It was as if everything froze around you, every noise and every busybody was gone.

He only looked away from you when his friends successfully shoved him ahead with them, going the opposite way you and your friends were. You smiled slightly as you turned back to your friends as the group of boys rounded the corner and out of sight. You couldn't help but admit the boy was a little cute.

"Hey Sam," you said, hurrying to your friend's side, "Who were they?"

"Come on, Y/N, you must have come down from your cloud enough to know who they are?" She joked, nudging your shoulder. You shook your head.

"Jeez, that was Richie the Trashmouth and his group of loser friends! You've must have heard us complain about him before? I mean, we mention his dumbass comments at least once a week!" Sam looked at you in bewilderment as she rambled.

It quickly clicked. She was right, you and your friends had talked about Richie before. Well, more like they talked and you listened, seeing as you had never met any of the people they were talking about before. He often made flirty comments towards them or inappropriate innuendos in class. You have also heard your friends comment on the odd people he usually hung around, as well. But from what you can tell from first glance, Richie and his group of friends seemed like a normal, friendly crowd. You had never found yourself in any of the same classes as him or his friends.

"Oh, yeah sorry. I've just never seen him before, I guess." You answer her quickly before returning to your thoughts.

To be completely honest, from the way your friends had talked about the 'losers', as they like to call them, you had imagined him to be a lot more sleazy and lot less dorky. And from the small glance at his friends that you had gotten made them seemed like normal, everyday people.

You all quickly made it to class but you just couldn't seem to focus on the work, your mind always finding itself back to the curly haired boy.

~~~

The day was finally over and you couldn't wait to get home and relax after the eight hours of boring lectures and overcrowded hallways.

You found yourself walking out of the front of the school, listening to your friends drone on about their days and the homework they were dreading to get home to. Usually you would be right in the conversation, agreeing with them, but today felt different and you just couldn't figure out why.

"Richie, what are you doing?!" You heard someone yell behind you.

"Let's go!" Another yelled.

"Shut up, give me a sec! Don't get your panties in a twist!"

You looked over your shoulder and saw the group of boys you had spotted this morning huddled close to each other with their bikes in hand, looking a little annoyed and/or worried. If it hadn't been for your friend Donna, you wouldn't have noticed the determined looking Richie Tozier that was approaching you.

"What do you want, Trashmouth?" She asked, sounding more annoyed than she had a minute ago.

"Nothing, I was just wondering if you could scatter for a sec while I talk to your friend," Richie smirked as she glared at him.

"Come on, Y/N, let's go," she said as she pulled your arm back towards her and your friends, seeming as though she didn't trust to leave you alone with him. You stayed in place, almost like you knew he has something important to say, though a small part in you expected it to be some sleazy comment.

"Y/N, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl, nice to finally be introduced!" He said with a wide smile.

You felt your eyes widen as his words echoed in your mind, struggling to register if that was really what came out of his mouth. Was this really happening? Was it really him? The guy your friends had told you countless stories about over the past school year was the same guy you had been waiting for since you were young?

"Holy shit! You have got to be kidding," You muttered with a smile.

It was like time stood still again. You couldn't feel Donna's hand on your arm anymore, and the commotion of the students exiting the school slipped away as you stared at each other.

The boy in front of you stood shocked at your words.

"You know, I always imagined those words to have a lot more annoyance in them," Richie joked after what felt like forever.

You let out a laugh, "Sorry, would you like me to redo it for you?"

Now it was his turn to laugh.

You stuck your hand out for him to take, "I'm Y/N."

He gladly grabbed your hand and gave an enthusiastic shake, "Richie."

"Yeah, nice to finally meet you, Trashmouth," you joked at his nickname. He gave a wide smile.

"Come on, Rich!" You heard someone call out from behind Richie.

"Fuck off! I'll be there in a minute!" He yelled back at them before clearing his throat. "Look, I would totally stay but my friends and I-"

"No, no, it's okay!" You cut him off, giving him a reassuring smile, "It's totally fine! I actually have to get home too but, uh... tomorrow... did, uh- did you want to, I don't know-"

"Ice cream? After school?" He offered.

You smiled, feeling a spike of excitement shoot through your stomach. "Yeah! That sounds great!" You nodded quickly.

"Awesome! Uh, see you, uh... I'll see you tomorrow, Beautiful!" He gave one last smile before turning back to his friends, stumbling a little as he walked back to them, yelling curses at them for interrupting you two.

You giggled as you turned back to your own friends. They had shocked looks as you walked up to them. It didn't take long for them to snap out of their trances and begin gushing at your new found soulmate, yelling I-told-you-so's and playful comments about the Trashmouth as they nudged you.

As you began walking with them in the direction towards your houses, you couldn't help but glance back at Richie, catching him as he glanced back to you from his group of friends as well.

Butterfly's flew to your stomach when he sent you a smile, unable to contain the smile that now found its way to your own lips. A giggle escaped you as your meeting replayed in your mind.

You looked down at your wrist, and instead of the black words that you had seen there since birth, now sat the same sentence but in a metallic silver and new, cursive font.

You finally had finally found your soulmate.

Thanks for reading! I really hope you enjoyed and if you did, check out my Fandom Blog where I keep all my other fanfics!

Do you like to write with sharpies? Sure. I don’t often get the chance to, but if I find a stray Sharpie lying around I will most likely grab it and find a piece of scratch paper to write on.

What are your top five favorite colors? Pastel/baby pink, black, white, maroon, mustard yellow.

Do you wear pajamas at night? Nope. I find them too warm.

What is your favorite type of cereal? Also not a fan of cereal; I never got the hang of its texture once mixed with milk. For my breakfasts, I’d rather already have a full ass meal consisting of fried rice with eggs, hotdogs, dried fish, tapa, tocino, etc. so that I can feel recharged enough to start with my day.

Do you want a Sony Xperia? No.

Do you own an iPhone? Yesss.

Do you like cake or cupcakes better? Cupcakes for sure; they’re one of my favorite desserts. There’s bigger space to be creative and quirky with cupcakes, so I enjoy them more. I’ve stopped seeking out cakes as often as I used to because I keep on seeing the same flavors and the same ingredients used in them.

What is your doctor's name? We don’t have a main one that we go to since no one in my family ever gets seriously sick.

Have you planned out your future? I have grand life events I want to be able to tick off, like getting my own place, traveling to certain countries, getting promoted. etc; but I don’t limit myself to a timeline. If or when those things happen, then they’ll happen.

Do you iron your clothes? I sometimes will, especially if I had planned to wear clothes that tend to get all wrinkly if they haven’t been used for a long time.

If you could own one wild animal, which one would you want? No thanks.

Have you ever been to Universal Studio? Yeah, the one in Singapore. It was a lot of fun, but I think my family and I are forever scarred by the couple who was queueing in front of us for the roller coaster...they passionately made out the entire time we were in line. Ugh.

What is your favorite holiday tradition? I like visiting one particular relative’s place for Christmas - one of my mom’s cousins and her family. It’s always lively there, and my aunts and uncles on that side of the family are the ones I find easiest to talk to. We didn’t go there for years, and we only started to again starting in I think 2017 or 2018.

Do you have curly hair? Nope. Sometimes it’s straight and sometimes it’s wavy.

Do you like the color orange or pink better? Pink.

Do you have long eyelashes? Yes.

How do you keep warm in the winter? I don’t need to worry about this because we don’t get winter.

Have you seen the movie Transformers? No, never looked interesting to me.

Have you ever killed ants with a magnifying glass? I have not. If they are being annoying on me, I just squish them; but I don’t kill them just because I’m bored.

What kind of shampoo do you use? I’ve been using Dove shampoo for a while.

Do you own any pairs of scarves? I own a few shawls that I will sometimes use as scarves, if they count.

Do you follow fashion? I mean, sometimes. I’ve generally followed what’s trending in my age group; but now that one of our clients at work is in the fashion/sportswear industry, I get even more leads on what is currently trending in terms of style even though I don’t always voluntarily choose to follow fahshion.

Are you excited for the 6th Harry Potter movie to come out? Didn’t the last movie come out a decade ago? So the 6th one is even older than that.

What color is your favorite coat? I don’t own a coat. The thicket clothes I have are probably hoodies.

Do you like Minnie Mouse? She’s okay; I don’t really have a strong opinion, I guess? My favorite character was always either Goofy or Donald Duck though.

Moccasins or Loafers? Moccasins.

Do you wear dogtags? Nope.

What is your favorite brand of clothing? I don’t really have one...if I like something, I’ll try to buy it.

Where do you shop for food? My parents always buy from groceries but they make the chain different every time. They will also sometimes buy from our neighbors who have their own vegetable store at home.

What is your favorite font? I’m partial to Proxima Nova because I used it a lotttttt throughout college that I’ve been using it by default for any document I have to make.

Do your hands and feet tend to get cold in the winter? I’ve never experienced winter but whenever I get cold, the joints in my legs and feet tend to feel the most sore and uncomfortable.

Do you know how to play any instruments? If so what? Nah. I got skipped out on when musical talents were being given out, lmao.

Do you recycle plastic bags? Yes. Idk about other cultures but Asian homes definitely have a spare cabinet somewhere in their homes that is just filled with plastic bags to be used over and over in the future if they’re needed lol.

Do you like to drink energy drinks? No. I smelled one before and the scent was too sweet it almost made me sick. I can’t imagine how much sweeter they taste.

What was the last TV show that you watched? I went back to my comfort zone last night, Friends :)

What is the biggest number that you have ever counted to? Not so sure, maybe around 100 more or less.

Are you currently wearing anything with patterns on them? I am not.

Do you like pistachios? OMG yes, but pistachios and pistachio-flavored anything are always on the pricier side so I don’t really feel like buying them most of the time.

Have you ever picked your nose? Sure.

Do you pee in public bathrooms? Only if I can no longer hold it. I prefer to wait until I get home.

Exactly. Some have weird agendas and narratives when it comes to this but that is the bottom line. Pretty much everything else is just assumptions and opinions with no real base. But it doesn’t matter who anybody is or where they from they can’t speak for these models themselves. Adriana been said what she said, and she still does to this day. Which is she identifies as mixed and for whatever reason she has not called herself yt-not even on legal records. Probably because she thinks like you, which makes sense because Adriana been living in the US since she was 15 pretty much. She finished growing up here. It is very possible she adopted some of the US ways of thinking along the way.

I say this because, Adriana keeps calling herself a “real” brazilian. Brazilian fonts here say there is no distinction, if you were born in brazil, you brazilian period. That clearly isn’t what Adriana herself thinks if she keeps saying “real” brazilian. Apparently there are some unauthentic brazilians (to her) for her to keep saying that. She has said this multiple times in later years. In this video, she was asked how does she handle her hair when exercising from sweat. She had to admit her hair is not naturally straight and is curly and big. Ofc the attendees didn’t believe it, so she she said out her own mouth @ , the reason her hair is naturally curly is because she is a “real brazilian”. LOL what else would she mean by that. Clearly by what she said out her own mouth, she correlates having an ethnic background like her that would give you curly hair as being a “real brazilian”. Which would mean, the ones she doesn’t see as real, that doesn’t apply to them. Which is basically what some fonts here was also saying lol. And that is a hot take, but thats what SHE said, you can see her say it

Not enough taking it straight from the horses mouth round here, even though Adriana has provided the answers many times lol. Her voting record from a year ago was literally shared here asking what her race was. We all know black, yt, and native was an option, she chose neither of them. Alot of ignoring going on because its not what some want to hear and because they really think thats the number 1 reason LSA likes her. Some think acting like Adriana no longer identifies as mixed gonna turn people off or something. Nobody really gives af and gonna still prefer her because they simply like the way she looks and her vibe lol. Objectively, too much stuff is on record from Adriana herself for people to project and make their own assumptions on this stuff. Its not a mystery and nothing has to be assumed.

As I said before though, Adriana hasn’t lived in brazil in so many years. At this point she has been based in the US longer than in brazil, because she left at 15. Crazy to think no influence, adaption, and change wouldn’t come after so many years, which is probably why she now uses the phrase “real brazilian”, and she has in reference to having a background that is the reason why her hair is curly. If nobody understands what she means by that and why she would say that, they playing oblivious at this point.

Coloring my dreams is not defined by you coloring my skin.

I'm supposed to be "studying" but here I am #yesshewrites again 😅

2 years ago, I read an article discussing about how Filipinos are the "Black" of the Asians. (not only they viewed and looked us down about our educational degrees but ultimately the fact that we are the dark-skinned of the Asia).

When I was little, I do not care about my skin color. The only moment I get to experience and became aware of it and became an issue was when I transferred into a public school. At such a young age, like 2nd grade or 3rd my classmates and all other sections called me Ms. Maputi (for they do not know my name) and the little boy whom I remember who was nice to me, his name is Aldrin was called "guruto" for being dark- skinned. It was the time where the teleserye Marina was everyone's favorite. I was complimented a lot for having fairer skin than anyone else and I was not really aware how it impacted anybody else for I was a privileged one.

Entering adolescence, everyone's finding the best version of themselves. At 6th grade, my Mom gifted me an Allue coral blush on as a graduation gift. It was my first set of make up and my love of it grew. I was consistently envied and judged. I don't know if it was because I apply make up or just because others wanted too but they couldn't afford one. Make up and shower gels from balikbayan boxes helped me to embrace and find myself, yet others judged and others praised me.

Growing up, all our hormones were developing and as we face another chapter of being highschool, my classmates faced the problem of suffering from breakouts, oily faces, and clogged pores resulting white heads and black heads, and that popular skin deceased called "an-an". On top of that, we learned about face washes and perfumes. The boys discovered hair gels, body sprays, and how to act cool. The girls were all spraying colognes, fixing their hairs, and felt confident with the floral baby bras they're wearing though nobody really sees it. Some were starting to bloom, so they explored and used red lollipop to stain their lips to validate the strict rules in our school that they are not wearing makeup. One thing were common to both the girls and the boys, that like their teachers and tbeir parents everyone were obsessed of skin whitening soaps and staying out of the sun. My generation were the days where everyone says, "Maganda sana , kaso maitim" or "Maputi lang yan, pero hindi maganda". In my teenage years, there was never really anyone who fit the fixated standard of what was deemed perfection so we were all doomed.

Going back with my friends, I was never aware of how hard their struggles were for though we live in an all-summer-year-round- weather my skin seems abnormal for not producing much oil. Then, there I gained another name as Ms. No sweat glands. It was just okay. I do not care about it. But as I looked back today, I was also brought to the days how my adolescence was always me carrying that J&J talcum powder on my purse and that precious mirror. lol. lol. When I saved money from my allowance or momma will do our grocery shopping, I will upgrade my powder into that pink Pond's pinkish white glow powder sometimes sponsoring my whole clique. I cannot remember if I ever desired to be lighter when I was younger for outside the circle of my family I am just OK. But inside, I was often decribed as maitim or dark compared to my siblings and parents.

One particular moment I can remember was when I went to ibayo, a place where you get to cross a river to get to the countryside.I usually spend my summer there. A typical summer there would be chilling and eating magoes under its tree and playing endlessly until the sun goes down. My cousins, younger sisters and I were pretending we were hunters, pirates, geographers, and paleontologists digging fossils, catching any insects, and looking for fruits to eat. We found shells, bones, coins. We dig on mountains, caves , and farms. When we're lucky we will find a peso coins, or dug a "kamote" or a "singkamas" out of nowhere. We're happy though we never really tasted one because we are afraid to eat it because we might die from being poisoned. Unfortunately, most of our days were us being scolded for digging up my Tatay's bed of pumpkins or the newly transferred tomatoes, okra, eggplant seedlings which he grew from his green thumb and hardwork. That's not the worst part, wait for this one: the worst we would dig is a fresh manure of a person or an animal. We would vomit as if our intestines wanted to leave our little mouth swearing we will never hunt again-- which never happened. We would then ran as if we saw a ghost and as if the "deadly golden treasure" has its own feet chasing us to touch our skins and invade us. When the sun is out, that's also the time where my skin will transform as black as the night and the only fair skin left in me was my legs. So I was proud of my legs lol. I am as black as our Philippine tamaraw/carabao, My arms were as dark as a burnt coconut shell. My face is as red as my father's tomatoes surviving our violent hands of dig and tug. It was fun being under the sun though my cheeks were rosy, burning as is chilis were applied on my skin. The rashes and sunburns where just normal for me, but me being darker and darker each day was what I disliked the most.

One day, I complained to my Dad and said, "Ang itim ko na". My Dad replied "Hindi ka naman maputi". I do not know why he told me that. I do not know if he wanted me to not feel bad for being"darker" or he just consistently sees me darker than anyone else in our family. Everytime I will tell my Tatay I am maitim "na" he would say "hindi ka naman maputi" I never knew the reason behind it: If he wanted me to accept who I am or to break my little privilege I believed which my classmates praised me for. (My Tatay always taught me to accept myself and how God made me for who I am. I remember I was totally upset with tears welling up on my eyes for being bullied when I was 7, my classmates told me I was "salot" for being "kulot". They would chant "kulot- salot" throughout the school year. My Dad told me, "Alam mo kung anong ginawa sa'yo ng Diyos nung pinganak ka yun ang bagay sa'yo. Yun ang mas maganda sa'yo". From then, I was proud of my locks and my Mon maintained, caref, and made me the most beautiful curly girl. But not later on as I undergo adoslecence, I was swayed. I conformed to the idea that the starigthter, the better . I was in love of it. I regret though , I would trade my expensive hair brush just to get those curls back) Sorry for that long segway, my memories were just right here right now lol.

So,

After every summer vacation, I would enjoy a shower in our home. My showers were like hours and hours of ritual any Filipina women, especially young people would have probabally done in their life. Our shower room is like a spa. My mom has more than 5 body scrubs. From back scrub, body scrub, loofah, stone, towels, etc. I would lather myself with safe guard to kill the bacteria, then the essential soap in our home, Dr.Kaufman which makes me feel I am the most bacteria-free person in the world. The I would lather myself with papaya soap, bearing in mind that the longer I soak on it the lighter I will be. Feeling triumphant, I will rinse myself then a salt scrub and a coffee ground scrub would finish and seal all the ritual I have done.

I was not "much" discriminated on my skin color. But I have witnessed the worst. I have seen some of my friends and classmates feeling completely confident for being lighter (a lot of times a "little" lighter) making them a snob and a total jerk. While they were proud of being lighter, their hearts became darker for others. On the other hand, I have also seen those who were darker, those were the broken hearted young people who were called monkeys, "uling", "ulikba", "maitim", "itim", "anino"/shadow, "anak ng lagim", "banaks", and many many discriminative names.

Up to now, there are about 2 million skin ligthening soaps which are sold in the Philippines. Skind toners, injections, pills, and any other means for a "lighter and better" skin were not included yet. The truth is I WAS one of them. I thought it must be. I should be and that I need to be.

The media told me to. The people I idolized both I know personally and not made me believe. The education I had told me to. Calling Ifugaos "Aetas" (taga bundok) with their curly hairs and darkest skin I have ever seen.

Day by day I was whispered and molded with their colonized mentality.

And when I grow older, I was shocked that the nightmare has just began. Graduating from Highschool, I found some of my friends being scared in what future awaits them.

"kulang ako sa height"

"hindi kasi ako magaling sa English"

"pag tumanda ka na, wala ng mag ha'hire sa'yo"

"dapat kasi dun maputi, matangos ang ilong"

"sayang. kung pwede lang sana"

These were just some of the phrases I can recall to the extent.

And now I am telling you, it doesn't matter.

"kulang ako sa height"

"hindi kasi ako magaling sa English"

"pag tumanda ka na, wala ng mag ha'hire sa'yo"

"dapat kasi dun maputi, matangos ang ilong"

"sayang. kung pwede lang sana"

chuck all these mentality.

Then, I came to see the dark world of being hired and employed . The gas-gas na statement in each bio data and that line under every (job) wanted sign:

"With pleasing personality"

When I was 8, while waiting for our buko juice at the jeep terminal. I asked my Mom one time about what it means. I was just learning how to read that time. I enjoy practicing and reading each sign I see everywhere. My Mom was the proudest because she will caught me speaking and reading as she drives.

I can still remember, the sign was on white font on a red board of a (job) wanted sign. When my Mom explained it to me I have understood that a person should have a good understanding heart, and a good attitude in dealing with people. That is the desirable personality that they are looking for. It remained true to me. Until I really got curious if anybody wonder or ask what does it really mean as I enter college. Because it seems that the English as a second language speaker in my hometown does not translate "personality" with the same meaning my Mom taught me when I was younger.

My awareness of the career to take must be a security of my future.

Your skin-color, your looks, your ability to speak English, your education, your power were ingredients you need to have. If you can have it all on the same time. Malakas ang baraha mo of gettung hired. You need to have "good looks" to be desirable and most of all this good looks is mostly founded in who is the lighter skin? The lighter, the better. What is important for us to ask is how far we will let this happen? Until when we will allow this notion on "lighter, the better" box our wonderful future and the beauty we keep on ourselves? Do we just keep the discrimination happen or we will say it's time to end it and we're in it to end.

When one stand for another, the other can have courage to keep going.

Today, may you embrace yourself with your own beauty. May your dreams and potentials carry you above and beyond!

Always remember that itim man o puti ang kulay natin. H'wag naging kakalimutang maging tao at maging kapwa para sa iba.

May you receive your freedom today and may you celebrate your color with happiness on your face and an overwhelming pride for being perfectly made by God for who you are.

Cheers and Cheers!

Always,
