#i also wasn't totally sure how to end it so i just kinda panicked and it was given an ending

[allylikethecat]

Umm okay, so, I didn't finish the chapter I was planning on trying to finish... BUT I did somehow write 1,000 words about Fictional!George being angry at Fictional!Matty for jumping off the B Stage last night on my phone during lunch so... I guess Happy Tuesday I will be posting that shortly 😂

Happy Tuesday a little heads up, if I do manage to actually post something today (unlikely) it won’t be until much later because the world is mean and I have meetings all day physically in the office 😭

you and ranboo where getting ready to go to philzas house it had just started to snow. you had always been fascinated by the white floating specs that reminded you of your very own purple ones that floated around you from time to time connecting to you to your ender man heritage.

"Y\N!" your older brother Ranboo yelled out as your tiny bare feet thudded out of the shack door breaking free from your bigger brothers arms to excitedly run out to the snow and attempt to flop down on it, but as soon as your bare skin touched the cold frozen flakes of water it burned, the excitement was then sucked away, as a searing pain tore through the pads of your exposed feet.

an enderlike screech of pain burst from your shocked mouth and purple particles was all your vision picked up on as you subconsciously teleported back, with a soft woosh, you popped back into the small space of the entrance of the Shack, that you and ranboo called home.

upright and confused, you where frantically holding your foot with a Audible "ow,ow,ow,ow,ow-" trying to balance on one leg and hopping backwards. already loosing your balance due to your freakishly long limbs for your age. (Thank your enderside) with a hiss you where sent wheeling back. being uncorranated as is, and then adding the fact you where standing how you where at the moment, you knock things down with you as you fall and land on your back with another shriek and a loud thump.

You let out another small, half hurt half annoyed huff, as tears formed at the ends of your green and red eyes. ranboo panicked running over in a semi-shocked state to grab onto you checking the red scorch marks on your left foot as you pushed yourself up on your elbows to let out another soft "ow" as he bent down to pick up your small 5 year old form.

being carefull not to bump into anything as he stumbled to set you on the staircase as he went to go grab some bandages rambling on with a " oh no!- I said to get your enchanted shoes on! Water hurts us-aww no please don't cry- healing poti-TUBBO"

The shorter boys head popped around the thrown open door as cold wind pushing its way in in a blizzard you hadn't noticed brewing till now, too focused on the throb in your foot.

The boys chipper voice was followed by ranboo half falling down the stairs to greet him and help you "Hi ran boo and- RANBOO WHY ARE THEY CRYING?!" ranboo fumbled with The wrappings as he wrapped it around the fresh wound " they went outside! in the snow! without enchanted boots and got hurt when it melted on them!" The little kid rushed over to tubbo hugging him tightly completely oblivious to ranboo who was trying to help; and ran into the shorter hybrids arms tubbo stooped to pick the younger child up as he set them down again on the staircase.

She wasn't full blown crying now, just sniffling as she tried to wipe of runaway tears as tubbo patted her head warmly with a small comforting grin to calm her nerves. she let the goat boy wrap the rest of the bandages around her foot then gave him an exited hug and a small. "thank you tubtub!" And got to her feet ignoring the ache and running to the front door to pick up her shoes, while ran boo wined a little at The younger boo and crossed his long arms in silent protest, giving a little huff of annoyance.

Tubbo chuckled "apparently she just likes me more" he said in a joking tone. But ranboo frowned "pftt-no.she-" tubbo laughed again as ranboos face turned a shade out of embarrassment. "whatever" he grumbled as he walked over to little y\n as she finished yanking the big enchanted boots onto her much smaller feet. she hummed with a happy little smile as he watched her with furrowed eyebrows standing their a little she got up humming a song tommy taught her and unconsciously grabbed his bigger hand bouncing as she pulled him outside "Phil's!phils!phils!" She chanted as her hand slipped from his when they got to the front porch of their small home in the snowy biome. Phil and technos conjoined house in the distance, lit with a warm light as the girl twirled through the snow twords it.

Ranboo teleported to the front step of philzas house with ease and tubbos head peeked out of the door of ranboos house, confused and annoyed, his shouts unheard as he ran across the landscape to join ranboo, and his sibling, who was huffing up the steps. "Cheater" you glared with a tired face. Your brother grinned as tubbo caught up. they didn't bother to knock as tubbo opened the door lazily and thunked his snow boots on the side of the doorframe. piles of snow landing on the hardwood deck from his boot.

The younger boo copied his actions holding onto the door frame for balance. And with a less powerful kick, her boot collided with the door, sending a little amount of Triump into the girl as she soon forgot about it and rushed into the house.

when she spotted philza and Wilbur having a chat in the kitchen she ran straight to them ranboo trailed aimlessly after her finding a spot next to tubbo as he chatted with tommy. Tomny and tubbo where fighting over who got the last peice of cake to which ranboo intervened and took it holding it above their heads while he took little pieces to eat himself while tommy and tubbo complained.

The little girl rushed over to hug phil who managed a "hey mate!" and patted her head and before he could say anymore she found techno who was talking to Wilbur.

"no -you have to kill them, then you can drag them into the-" he spotted the younger girls salt and pepper hair as she was silently staring curiously at him. He switched up his words as she walked up to him with a small cautious and confused face "kill someone?!" You questioned "uh-but of course we would skip the uh first step. and We would -drag them... to a nice place to have a talk-" she laughed hugging the pig-man who akwardly patted her back with a grimance. A glare shot from wilbur burned into technos skull.

You then hugged Wilbur who already had his arms stretched out. and with a warm smile she ran straight into him as she gripped his jumper with all her force. She leaned her small form back to Look up at his muddy eyes. With a mischievous grin then snatched his glasses off his scarred nose putting them on there face quickly, and dodging his long arms they Ignored the shouts of the older man. running off to find philzas arms to hide in. You darted into the living room, stopping shortly to take in there surroundings. the chatter from the boys, the sun streaming through the window, and the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen of whatever Phil was mixing up. it was comforting, but the loud footsteps behind them where not.

You couldn't make it to philza in time so you went to the person you would normally go for comfort, ranboo. Your brothers long limbs where crisscrossed on the floor and he silently nodded along as tubbo and tommy conversed. His green and red eyes found yours and his mouth turned into a grin and you sprinted twords him. Tommy spotted you coming there way and intervened "HEY y\n!" His bandaged arms opened wide, with a boyish toothy grin. Before you could decide who to go to, Wilbur rounded the corner. a glare set on his face as he squinted at her. "AHAHHHH" you ran straight into tommy.

the betrayal on ranboos face was prominent, his arms dropped slowly to his sides as his smile faded. though he didn't show it his heart panged a little As Tommy's arms locked in around you. He was supposed to be the one you ran too. He was your brother!

Wilbur barreled into the living room trying to take you from him. Tommy attempted to throw you on the couch and quickly cover you up with a pillow but it didn't work. The fight was over, Wilbur grabbed his glasses back off your defeaded half dead looking form and grabbed the pillow and proceeded to beat tommy with it.

You lifted yourself up, your hair now disheveled from the two brothers. You looked over to ranboo, your own brother, who looked a bit downtrodden. A wary smile was shot tword you, you huffed, feeling a bit tired you walked over to him, laying your head on his shoulder and gripping his arm "you ok big man?" He said as he patted your head lovingly "yes-can we go home now?" you yawned "we can- but I thought you wanted to hang out with techno, and tommy and-" " ranboo! I wanna spend time with you!" you smiled up at him, your eyes squinted. ranboo, forgetting you where a very unfiltered five year old died at your next words "Tommy's a little loud anyways-" he Busted open with laughter as wilbur did too, pausing over Tommy's defeated form on the spot on the floor where he had been being hit multiple times with the soft round throw pillow clutched in wills grip, tommy yelled in protest "HEY! I PROTECT YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME??" You look at him blankly " ummmmm- yes." Ranboo shoots grin his way, and scoops you up and grabs your shoes. As you slowly drifted off to sleep, you could hear techno voice echo " the kid was right, you are really obnoxious tommy" and another yelp from the blonde boy as a pillow thrown from techno this time, hit him square in the face. another loud scream was heard this time from tubbo "GET WRECKED" and a bust of laughter was heard.

This was your family.

And as you grew up, it always stayed that way, no matter what you went through, this, what some would call a ragtag group. was stuck with you, as family and you were ok with that, as long as your big brother stuck by your side, you felt impossible.

[athletearrhythmia]

Two dilated ventricles

(Note: this is a more dark cardio post. Everything written was approved before posting, if the tone seems kinda mean it's not, I know the other subject well)

(Top image I'm on the right, bottom on the left)

Xykolich is one of the best cardiophile creators around right now, I'm sure you've seen videos of his remarkable heart. He has advanced dilated cardiomyopathy and recently gave me images of his mri study to compare to my own dilated ventricles.

His left ventricle is a whopping 80mm across, a full centimeter over my extremely large left ventricle and nearly twice the size of an average person's. However while my heart is positively adapted to exercise, his heart is scarred and inefficient. You can see a ring of scar tissue in his short axis image representing the dead portion of his heart that can't contract, which is what caused his heart to balloon as it panicked to compensate.

We don't have video, but this contrast in our hearts really flourishes in exercise. We both have low ejection fractions at rest because our hearts are so large a small percentage still amounts to large stroke volume. (Although his disease is advanced enough that his stroke volume is getting too low.) If we were to exercise though, the scarring prevents his damaged heart from contracting much harder than it can at rest. Even in light exercise then, his heart rate will skyrocket before decompensating and going totally out of rhythm as his heart fails. You've seen this in some of his videos. My heart by comparison will expand and contract harder as exercise intensity increases, allowing my heart to pump gallons and gallons of blood as its output increases beyond standard limits.

His right ventricle is also normal in size but looks small because his left ventricle is so large. You can really see here just how much cardio has enlarged my right ventricle. The biventricular enlargement reemphasizes athlete's heart syndrome as it represents improved function of my right ventricle to support the enhanced left. In fact my right ventricle clocks in at 56mm and 7-9mm thick walls. For context, that is the size of a well trained amateur's *left ventricle*; my heart is so enlarged that supporting my left ventricle requires the output of most athletes' entire heart. His right ventricle is not up to the task. Even if his left wasn't damaged and could beat well, the rv isn't big enough to fill that massive heart. His heart is doomed to fail.

I love that our hearts are opposite ends of the cardio spectrum. We are both genetic flukes (DCM is usually genetic, the extent of my enlargement can only be genetic). We have both extensively pushed our hearts in their natural directions, mine by constantly trying to improve its function and grow it, him by engaging in dark play. And we are both extremely "advanced", with his heart essentially a non functional balloon and mine 99th percentile among Olympic athletes. What's so cool is on a still image, our hearts are still pretty similar looking. Certainly explains why some cardiologists look at my heart with concern. I should show them his.

Thank you! I think you worded it perfectly. Like there is kind of this lack of empathy for Zendaya because she is rich and she will be fine, as if law is not also very rich. But the fact he didn't tell her beforehand is really not right. I get it was impulsive but I can't imagine being Zendaya and sitting in London and going on IG at the end of the day and seeint that. She probably was panicking and thinking something really bad happened and was worried about him and also probably shocked and upset. And then after all that to see the viral hate train go against her on Twitter, ig TikTok etc, to have hate comments on her IG and law to do nothing until like two days later??? I get law is a dramatic dude but none of that was fair to her, when she has been so loyal to him and like he said protected her. But I really feel law was just in it for himself.

Like I said, we all love Law and have done so for so many years, so that's why this is so tough to say.... But sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I didn't feel like it was right at all for him to just totally blindside her (his biggest client and little sister) like that. 🥴 It wasn't right to do that to his other clients either, but at least with Z I thought they talked about everything. I guess not 🥴

Yea, like you said, I'm sure in the end she will be fine (she's Zendaya after all), and I'm sure PLENTY of stylists would be chomping at the bit just to get to be her next stylist (Personally, my first choice would be Jason Bolden since he's black and styles many high-profile celebrities), but that still doesn't negate the fact that the way Law handled this was just really kinda cruel. 🥴

What Law SHOULD have done (imo) was inform Zendaya and the rest of his clients beforehand that he was retiring, and THEN post it to his IG.

And in all honesty, what he really could have done was told Zendaya privately that he was THINKING of retiring. She could have given him some time off. Maybe he's still grieving his nephew's death.... that's all understandable. Grief comes in WAVES. Some days you're perfectly fine, and other days you're a hot mess and a bundle of emotions. 😔 Little things can trigger you (ie. a memory, a photograph, etc). Like, I totally get all of that.

But he could have taken a much-needed BREAK, maybe even taken MONTHS off (if he needed to), then he could have come back with a more clear head, and then made whatever life-changing decisions he needed to make (if still applicable). 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm also still kind of miffed that he didn't just WAIT to post that retirement post. 🥴 He had FULL control over what he posted, and WHEN. This isn't like some paps photographed you one day against your knowledge and consent, and you had absolutely no idea some scandalous pictures of you were gonna come out to the public, so you didn't have time to warn anybody close to you lol. 🤣 😂

Like NO.... he had FULL CONTROL over WHAT he posted, and WHEN. 🤨

Personally, if it had been me, I would have deliberately waited weeks, maybe even MONTHS after the whole LV "no seat" fiasco in Paris before posting my "retirement", because now it just looks like you're retiring cuz you were mad and salty that you couldn't sit next to your client Zendaya at the fashion show. 👀

It would have garnered way less hate for his client Zendaya as well if he had just waited to release that announcement a little later until AFTER ppl forgot about the whole Paris thing, or at least after you and your client are seen working together on another event.

Everything is all about image in this industry, because everyday fans take little crumbs and run with it, creating a full on narrative, no matter how false it may be. 🙄 You have to ask yourself: "How is this going to look to other people?" 🤔

I just can't believe he let Zendaya go to London totally blindsided. 😔

He just didn't think of her feelings and mental health at all as far as I'm concerned. And I'm sorry, but I'm really just SHOCKED because that just doesn't seem like his character at all, but now I guess I know better lol 😅👀

If I were Z I would tread REAL carefully with him. 👀 I know I don't have all the facts, and of course I have no clue what they've discussed since then, so my knowledge of the situation is clearly very miniscule, and I freely admit that. But for him to basically say out of his own mouth that he didn't tell her (like, we're not just ASSUMING things here.... like, he basically said it himself) is just.... wow. 😳

He just showed me that when stuff hits the fan, he's gonna think about himself and himself only 👀

Idk.... like I said, I were Z I'd keep both eyes open, that's all I'm saying. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[kittygamer2888]

!LONG POST WARNING!

Y'know what? Screw this.

*ties you on a chair and makes you look at a chalkboard*

Imma just explain a few things about Sarah because I'm kinda getting tired of keepin' it subtle, so, here it goes. *tap tap on chalkboard with chalk*

Transformations can be really, and I mean, REALLY painful sometimes, even for Sarah.

Whenever Sarah transformed (into.. erh.. some sorta beast.??) It would hurt her really bad and would only overwhelm her much more than recently, but that was only when she was still young. Sarah's transformation isn't exactly a curse per se, but uh... it's actually her powers, but due to the events that happened when she was little and didn't know how to controll this transformation of her's properly, this would make her dangerous and act hostile. But it wasn't just 'cus she wasn't in controll of her transformation, oh no no no, this is... uh.. much more deeper than you think. You see, whenever Sarah feels an overwhelming amount of stress or feel as though she's in danger, that's when her transformation spikes up and ruins everything. This is also the same case for when she's in danger or feels cornered, so.. you could say that this transformation is like a dangerous defense mechanism that Sarah doesn't have control over, and because of this, she has a hard time accepting these powers of hers.

Because like.. she doesn't remember what even happens after her transformation, all she knows is blood and destruction once she wakes up, she didn't mean to do the things she did, everything around her would just be total chaos and she wouldn't even know what happened until she eventually starts remembering little snippets of what had actually happened. This right here, this, ALL OF THIS. She has been dealing with this ever since her owner passed away, so she had to bear the pain of living alone and endlessly killing others unintentionally. One thing to also note is that whenever she starts to feel as though her powers are activating, her emotions increase as she starts to hyperventilate, and let's just say that that's... not a good feeling to have if I'm being real with you.

So one fateful day, she enters a city and uhhhh... lots of stuff happen, she didn't know where she was going and ended up being in a bad place at the wrong time, making her turn into a monster again aaaaaand killing many innocents in the city without her knowing... a g a i n.

So after reverting back and passing out due to the police being there and shooting a tranquilizer, she went to ✨️jail✨️

Though, while everyone in the city was horrified by what she did, there was one animal that saw through her and that wild panick that she had made.

And it was ✨️Benjamin✨️

This lil' guy right here used to work in therapy until he eventually retired, so.. you could say that he's a therapy dog, and he was there when the little incident had happened. This incident didn't feel like a threatening one, at least not for Benji here, no no- he actually saw the amount of stress and panic Sarah was feeling, he saw how panicked and nervous the onslaught was with Sarah and the hostility that she was inflicting, it almost looked like she was in distress for Benjamin here. There was something Benji thought was odd, so, guess what he did? He bailed Sarah out and made an agreement with the government in the city for him, Benjamin, to look after Sarah and to make sure incidents like this doesn't happen ever again. If Sarah was to ever transform and attack the city 3 times, she would be locked up somewhere far worse than prison. This wouldn't stop the cops taking action every now and then though, because, even if Benjamin was looking after Sarah, any sudden action she'd make that involved anything with her transforming would sometimes lead to the cops noticing and sometimes take action, but Benjamin however, would try to calm Sarah down whenever that'd be the case

The poor guy had to talk to multiple policemen, saying that he's got it all under control and how they wouldn't need to take action.

Though, because of this, the citizens of the city would start to hate Sarah because of how she could just get away with it that easily. Some of the folk in the city would even try to.. how should i put this... pressuring her, almost towards to bullying her because of how she becomes a monster every now and then when her emotions get in the way, and because of this, Benjamin would always try to protect Sarah from these bullys so she wouldn't transform. Sadly, due to all of the hatred towards her, this would only make Sarah hate her powers and even just herself in general, making her feel insecure about herself even. Everyone looked so normal in the city... she wished she could be like them and not whatever the hell she has going on. Luckily, Benjamin's always there to cheer her up at times, cus after all, that's what friends are for! And even then, Sarah wouldn't hurt Benjamin either, because they're both friends!

..Right?

AHEM

Anywho *yeets chalk away*

That's all I gotta say for now, you're now able to be released! *unties ropes* you.. you can go now..

Shoo

Now if you'll excuse me

If you made it this far then i... I'm surprised you actually cared to read the entire thing, or even look at it for that matter--

Imma go cry in a corner now👍

[bravewolfvesperia]

He didn't think he would feel so small being looked in the eye. Heck, he also didn't think this conversation would happen like this, if it ever did. For years Yuri had been (perhaps self forcefully) convinced it was fine to love Flynn from afar. To not risk crossing that boundary. Part of him didn't think it would ruin their friendship - it was too strong to be rattled just because one of them were grappling with evolved feelings, right? But... part of him didn't want to find out, either.

And yet, when Flynn leaned closer, hands still making contact with his own, his eyes moved away quickly. Quickly to any other direction, several times, occasionally back to Flynn's gaze. It was like a child unable to sit still, but only his eyes moved in those moments. Flynn's agreement to move struck relief in Yuri though, and it calmed the almost frantic movements. Even if the hand that pulled away from his was promptly missed, for now it was better than others being in on their business before even they were.

Even if the silence on the way back was slightly awkward for Yuri, it helped to think of the past. He would glance at Flynn here and there to let the blond know he was still there, it was just... difficult to say anything that one would deem small talk. There was no room for it right now, and anything Yuri could say would come out even more awkward and forced. The last thing he wanted to do was mess this up. While they weren't likely to end a friendship over it or anything, it would still be immensely awkward for who knew how long if Yuri fumbled this...

Another relief worked its way into him when they did arrive. Being in his room with just the two of them perhaps took off some of the anxiousness. Made it feel less overwhelming. Rather than draw this out, Yuri wanted to get to the point, even if it was taking... more than force than he would have liked. More willing for his heart to calm down than he would have liked.

Funny, really, how Flynn was the one who started this off being panicked and nervous. And really, what did Yuri have to be nervous about? Flynn was out in the open about this, so why shouldn't he be? What was even left to stop them? "So, um... it's not that I... maybe feel the same. It's that I... do feel the same way." This was out of his comfort zone, but... he couldn't wait until a better, more proper opportunity presented itself. The truth had already come out, after all.

He paused, peeking at Flynn through his bangs and draped hair. He needed to sort this out... say this right. "I mean... I-... love you. Really love you. I have for... a long time. I just... didn't know when or how to say it. Hearing that you felt that way for real was... kinda shocking... I mean I guess I sorta had an idea, but... I didn't want to do or say anything without being totally sure." There were numerous reasons he hadn't said anything, and even now, he still feared rejection. That for some reason or another, they still couldn't be together. That it could even jeopardize their friendship, not because of their feelings themselves, but because of numerous outside factors.

Plenty of times saw Yuri trying to convince himself he didn't belong with Flynn. Now he didn't want that - to not belong with him. Even if they only had their friendship, just the way it had been for so long, he would take even just that rather than no Flynn at all. All this time, he realized now, his biggest fear was having no Flynn at all. That if this admittance somehow took that from him, he couldn't still be the same Yuri Lowell he'd always been. There just wasn't a Yuri Lowell without a Flynn Scifo.

"I hope this is... okay... Flynn... Sorry for... not telling you sooner."

Fight or flight... 'tis so unbecoming of a commandant to even entertain the idea of the latter, but for the first time since childhood, Flynn is considering turning tail and tucking himself away somewhere where nobody would be able to find him. Ask him to organize and lead a squadron, a thwart a criminal plan, and he's the first body in line; emotions, however, are foreign and somehow SCARIER than facing a threat to his own life.

His hands tremble in his paltry attempt to keep his shame hidden, worsening as Yuri pulls them away and holds them betwixt his own hands. Even if Flynn cannot look Yuri in the eye right now, gazing down at their joined hands somehow worsens his nerves and calms them at the same time. Leave it to Yuri Lowell to, somehow, accomplish the impossible yet again.

" I don't think there is a suitable place to have this conversation, Y-Yuri, " he stumbles over himself, wishing they needn't have it at all. " The... smart thing to do would have been to mind my intake last night so none of this saw the light of day. It's a lesson learned... a big one, and I--- "

--- !?

Now, he musters the courage to look Yuri in the eye again, but only because he swears he'd either heard confirmation of MUTUALITY in feelings, or he was dreaming. Emotionally cowardly man, Flynn Scifo, he's fine with it being either. A dream meant he and Yuri WEREN'T standing here touching on strong feelings that had been buried ages ago, but if it's reality, then...

" The... same? " Like a puppy who doesn't understand the concept of PERSONAL SPACE, Flynn leans in, absently threading his fingers betwixt Yuri's as he attempts to catch his gaze. " You... might feel the same? I... I hope I heard you correctly... else this is going to make me look even worse... " Regardless, Yuri is right; this is a discussion they should be having somewhere that isn't out in the open, where others may be made privy to it. The last thing they need are more eyes on them, scrutinizing and imposing upon their privacy. " ... let's... go back to your room. Attempting to go to my office or my quarters is just asking for distractions. Let's go. "

Hands gently pull free from those of Yuri's, so Flynn can step to the side and stack the materials they'd been tending to a tad neater. They'll come back to this in due time; neither one of them likes to leave a necessary task unfinished, but for once, something ELSE besides duty was taking priority.

GENSHIN IMPACT

NOT REQUESTED - HEADCANNONS - scaramouche x gn!reader

━ [ ⋄ ] will he do the fantango plspls

note : i actually rlly love this character like step on me please, also, my first time doing headcannons </3

⁃ this short 5th grader looking ass will make it very clear that he doesn't like you at first

⁃ like wtf

⁃ how does somebody like you get into the fatui

⁃ he makes SURE that you get all the worst jobs while he's around and if you don't do them correctly then you'll get an ear full of his usual threats and nagging

⁃ his end goal was to completely break you ;)

⁃ and by break you, i mean get you to be so overwhelmed and then quit ;(

⁃ though, this was tougher than he thought it was

⁃ you were resilient, doing all your tasks well, on time, and without any problems, which was a nice change to all the idiots in the fatui that scara had to deal with on a daily basis

⁃ ok, so maybe, just MAYBE, you weren't so bad

⁃ just maybe tho,,

⁃ he would request that you stayed by his side during missions, even if those missions were just staying on a roof top for a few hours to spy on people who were seen as a threat, alone

⁃ it totally WASN'T planed by scara and it totally WASN'T a way that he could sneak looks at you (it was)

⁃ but you were so pretty ??? help ???

⁃ he thought about his reputation, how he knew that ginger freak and signora would laugh and tease him for having a small crush on a mere soldier, it really wasn't like him to be nice in general, let alone have a full on crush on somebody below him

⁃ he grumbled

⁃ he turned to you again, you were so focused on the door you were supposed to be watching incase the target came out of, that you didn't realise the 6th harbinger scooting closer to you, you stiffened, thinking you did something wrong

⁃ you are so warm help him he is going to melt

⁃ the warmth coming from your body was inviting, he had never felt so comforted and welcome, he didn't even touch you yet and he was already going crazy

⁃ obviously touch starved (could never be me jk it is me please hug me)

⁃ he let his senses take over as his body came even closer to yours, he leaned on your right shoulder

⁃ ayo ??

⁃ you are panicking inside

⁃ you felt him get more comfortable and snuggle into your shoulder more, is that purring i hear ?

⁃ when he isn't yelling and screaming, this grape creature could be kinda cute

⁃ his eyes were closed, and his breathing was slowed

⁃ you rested your head ontop of his and let out a quiet sigh of contempt

⁃ the two of you were so distracted that you didn't realise the target leaving the facility

⁃ (and childe taking pictures of you, for blackmail, of course)

• While Big was recovering after receiving the gun shot ( because he's okay guys, dont worry he's alive), Porsche was extremely careful with him, making sure he was okay at all time and helping him in any way possible. At first Big was kinda annoyed by this, as he thought that Porsche was only doing it because he felt in debted with him or because he felt sorry for. However, he quickly got used to his company, and began to find it somewhat comforting. Maybe it was because of every time Porsche brought him his favorite coffee, or the countless times he'd slept in his hospital room just to take care of him.

Because of this, they had the chance to get to know each other better. Porsche did most of the talking, but Big was totally okay with that. He was happy to hear Porsche rambling about whatever he wanted.

• They both fell in love with each other in a similar way, but their way of realizing it and coping with it was quite different.

Porsche realized his feelings after Big sacrificed himself (and nearly died) for him. The fear of almost losing him made him realize that what he felt towards him went beyond just friendly affection. At first he was surprised by it. Things hadn't gone well between them at first, but somehow they ended like that. Despite this, he didin't feel ashamed or disgusted by his feelings. He just accepted it, and promised himself to protect Big

The first person to find out was Chay. It happened when they were having an informal conversation and Porsche told his brother that there was someone he found special. Just by listening to him talk about Big, Chay could feel that his brother was really happy to have him.

By the other hand, Big took a little longer to realize (he's not very good with feelings, especially his own). At first he wasn't quite sure how he felt about Porsche, but after he got injured, every little moments they spent together made him realize that there was... Something.

As soon as he realized it, He panicked. Not only because he had fallen in love with the guy he supposedly "hated", but also because Big didn't had good experiences with love (and he didn't think Porsche would love him back). He spent a lot of time in denial, doing his best to suppress it and pretend he had no feelings for him, but eventually he had no choice but to accept it. That wasn't easy for him either. He had just gotten over Kinn, and having to deal with another unrequited love wasn't good. Big didn't love many people, but when he did, the feeling was deep.

The first person to know about his crush was Pete, but it was by accident. Of course, it didn't take long for him to notice that Big smiled a lot more when Porsche was around. So he simply asked Big if he was in love with him (not too delicately) Big tried to deny it several times, however, Pete wasn't blind.

• Even before they started dating, they used to go out together. After the incident, Big's anxiety and bad dreams increased. Porsche wasn't feeling particularly good about his mental health either, so they got into the habit of taking short walks together at night as a stress reliever. They walked in silence or sometimes talked about the thing that made them upset

• Of course, Porsche was the first one to confess. It was during one of those night walks, and Big was so surprised that he thought that couldn't be happening. His first reaction was to ask why. What did he had that was worthy of Porsche's affection? Big had never thought of himself as person easy to love, especially after how he had treated Porsche when they first met.

Instead of being put off by the question, Porsche started a rambling about all the reasons why he had fallen in love with him, going into all sorts of small details.

• As soon as they made their relationship official, the first person to know (after Pete and Chay, of course) was Tankhun. Porsche revealed it while they were having a conversation, and instead of acting surprised, Tankhun nodded and said "I knew it" Immediately after that he looked at Pol and said "I told you, you owe me money"

• Talking about Pete, after he found out about their relationship, the next day he showed up at Porsche's house with a cake that said "Congratulations on talking about your feelings, bitches :)"

Hey Pebbles! Hope you're doing well! Gosh I'm binge reading it so much and totally ignoring my exams.

Was Ginny in love with Matthew or any other boys? You mentioned that she was hurt by Matthew, I mean wasn't he more like a rebound? Also did she ever feel guilty for saying awful stuff to Harry like 'You are the war!' and trying to make him jealous by giving him details of her sex life? I don't understand why she gave him explicit details, what was she trying to prove? I mean if she truly loved harry she would've tried to be there for him, I kinda felt it was heavily leaning towards a one sided love. Also, I genuinely liked how gritty Ginny was, despite all the trauma, she was a fighter, but i feel she didn't treat harry well at all. I liked the fact that harry was a bit of a dick to her in ch13, he's not a saint and he shouldn't be nice to someone who hurt him so badly.

Hope you have a great week!

hahaha please go study, i promise castles will still be there after your exams are done!

Was Ginny in love with Matthew or any other boys? You mentioned that she was hurt by Matthew, I mean wasn't he more like a rebound?

i feel like i've answered this before but it wasn't in my FAQ so maybe it was in a comment and i'll just say it again.

i don't think you need to be in love with/love someone to be hurt by something they did. i mean, no, i don't believe ginny was in love with matthew (or anyone other than harry for that matter) but him breaking up with her still hurt. he was the first boy she willingly slept with who wasn't harry, and they truly had something nice going on. they dated. they were getting to know each other. and then, he broke up with her over something from her past that she couldn't change, and over the press attention, which she was also pretty powerless about. that's heartbreaking, even when you're not in love. and, look, who can blame the guy. i mean, you're a normal kid who's just out of school and suddenly hoards of journalists are outside your house asking you what it's like to date harry potter's ex. he panicked. i don't blame him. but, for her, it sucked. especially considering the issues she has with trusting people since amycus, and the issues with her own sense of autonomy and agency.

Also did she ever feel guilty for saying awful stuff to Harry like 'You are the war!' (...)

i feel like i've answered so many of these "did x ever feel guilty for y" lately, and i never know what answer to give apart from: "well, it depends," and "it's complicated". for this one, i will say harry and ginny will have a conversation about this at some point in the future (this chapter or the one after, i'm not sure) so i don't want to spoil too much either.

(...) and trying to make him jealous by giving him details of her sex life? I don't understand why she gave him explicit details, what was she trying to prove?

i'm not sure what you mean here by "giving him explicit details".

if you mean explicit details regarding amycus, i think she was miles away from trying to make him jealous, there. i think there's a very interesting debate one could have about whether ginny was actually even writing to harry in these letters, or to herself, or to the world at large. i think she started writing to him, for sure, but at some point, it became a thing she did to stay sane and put words on what was happening to her and around her, rather than something she was writing for him. there is even a moment, when he ends up at bill and fleur and she's at muriel's when she says something along the lines of "maybe i could write to you, a real letter, i mean, where i say everything is alright". i don't think that at that point, she was writing with the idea that he might read these one day.

if you mean later on in 99, i've already answered here but tl;dr, she was trying to prove that she was a Bad Person and that no one could ever love her knowing what she'd done, especially not him.

I mean if she truly loved harry she would've tried to be there for him, I kinda felt it was heavily leaning towards a one sided love. Also, I genuinely liked how gritty Ginny was, despite all the trauma, she was a fighter, but i feel she didn't treat harry well at all. I liked the fact that harry was a bit of a dick to her in ch13, he's not a saint and he shouldn't be nice to someone who hurt him so badly.

this is exactly to my point last week that different people with different experiences will perceive Right and Wrong in castles differently. that's the point, and it's fantastic to hear all of you guys' thoughts, so thank you so much!

my own opinion, of course, is that people are complicated.

a month | ace trappola

length: 1.2k words

taku's notes: help,,, I kinda drifted away from the djrjcnfj original request-- nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this ! also,,, unedited and written at 2am 😌👊 sorry for the mistakesbfkfnc

It's been a week since you last held a proper conversation with Ace. The both of you were dating for about a month now, everything started out smoothly- exactly the way you expected it to be until recently. He seemed distant somehow, always with Deuce or busy with his club. Every conversation you tried to strike up with him would always end up with you desperately trying to turn small talk into a proper conversation. He would just walk away in the end, seemingly more interested in something else other than you. At first, you saw the world through your rose-coloured glasses. Brushing away Ace's dismissive gestures and words under the excuse of "He's just frustrated with school." and words similar to that.

Eventually, you'd have to take off your rose-coloured glasses to face the truth. Ace wasn't treating you like his lover, he ignored you, dismissed you, avoided you. You didn't know why, you desperately asked yourself the same questions over and over. "Why would he treat me like this…?" How tragic, it's only been a month- yet, Ace already seemed like he's had enough of you. You walked faster when you thought of several reasons, you bumped into someone and stumbled back- grabbing the person's arm before you could totally fall. "Woah! Careful..!" You recognized the voice, it was Epel.

"Ah, Epel. Thanks for catching me." You thanked him with a wave of your hand, you tried to walk away but Epel caught your wrist. A worried expression taking over his face, "Hey, it may not be my place to ask but, are you alright? You seem kind of down." The innocent question caught you off guard, you were sure you masked the stress you were feeling well. It's either you failed at masking it or Epel was just really observant. Either way, it didn't really matter- he noticed and that's what mattered. You tried to pull your hand back to your side. Epel, seeming to realize that he was still holding your wrist, muttered a quick apology before letting go. You didn't reply to his question and tried to dodge it by asking another question.

"It's nothing. Hey, Epel? Do you know what Ace has been up to lately?" You asked, suddenly getting nervous- the words just came out of your mouth, you had no control over it. Epel visibly tensed up, his back straighter and his eyes suddenly focused on you. "O-Oh, Why do you ask? Is something wrong?" You could tell he was hiding something and you were determined to find out what that is. Both of you were still standing in the middle of the hallway, alone- with no one to hear your conversation with him.

You just nodded silently, eyes lowering their gaze to the ground. Epel panicked. He had to think of something to not blow Ace's cover. Quickly…! "Say, do you know Ace had an ex-girlfriend?" You perked up, what was this about an ex-girlfriend? You quickly averted your gaze to Epel's eyes, searching for answers as you signalled him to continue. Epel didn't know what he was doing at this point but he continued, "It didn't really end well- according to him at least. He got bored of her and started to distance himself from her and they just… Ugh, that jerk-!" Epel clasped a hand over his mouth. His accent slipped out when he was getting to the part about Ace being a jerk but more importantly- Epel felt like he just made a wrong decision.

"Ah, is that so? Thanks for telling me about this, Epel." Your mind went blank. Your sudden monotonous voice caught Epel off guard. "It's n-nothing." Ah, Epel knew he fucked up when he watched you walk away.

*.✧*.✧

Your mind was blank, surprisingly. You felt empty, hollow, and whatever other synonyms there are of 'empty'. Epel's words still seemed to be sinking into your brain but unfortunately, your brain was rejecting the information it got- which is why you're feeling empty. It was an unending cycle of that inside your mind as you walked through the bustling hallways. You had a few classes left before the day ends yet, every part of you was screaming to skip every single one of them and shut yourself inside your room and cry. "I'm an idiot…" You started to run to your dorm as soon as you got the chance to.

You ran and ran until you barely felt your legs, desperately panting for air. You arrived by your room's door with a tear and sweat-stained face- you just wanted to lie down on your bed. You had a few cuts and scratches here and there from all the running you did, occasionally tripping or hitting something sharp. You winced slightly as you felt them bleed, you needed to treat them too. You turned the knob to your room and pushed it open, only to see-

"Eh?" Ace standing on a stool, party streamers in his hands. "W-What are you doing here!? You still have classes, right!?" Frantically, Ace went down the stool and approached you. He noticed your dishevelled state and his expression immediately changed to one of concern, "Hey, what happened to you? You look terrible." You had to do a double-check, were you not dreaming? Was Ace really here in front of you? Tears started to form again and you let them fall, making Ace panic. "How mean of you, telling your lover they look terrible just like that." You sniffled, bringing up your hand to wipe the tears from your eyes.

Ace only panicked more, his hands flying everywhere "O-Oi! Don't go crying on me, what did I do!?" A small smile crept on your face when you saw him panic, your eyes scanning the room behind his figure. It was as if it was set up for a party, there were party decorations, a cake, a bit more pastries, and a huge banner saying "Happy Monthsary… Pfft-!" You giggled. Ace flushed red when he heard you read the banner aloud, you weren't supposed to see that!

"What's so funny?" Ace grumpily asked you, arms crossed. You just laughed some more- Ahh, it seemed like you were worried over nothing. You didn't take Ace as the type to celebrate monthsaries, it was a pleasant surprise- err, not so much of a surprise now. "Nothing~! Anyways, I'm not supposed to be seeing this yet- right?" You wiped the remnants of your tears away with your sleeve, "Yeah but- why were you crying?" Concern laced his voice as he cupped your cheek with his hand. Eh? What was he doing? Before you could ask, he leaned down and placed a kiss on your forehead before letting you go abruptly. "Tell me later- okay? Now shoo and pretend you saw nothing!" He shut the door in front of your face.

Everything started to sink in. Today was your monthly anniversary, he spent the past week preparing- that's why he seemed distant, he prepared a surprise party for you, and you thought he was getting tired of you because of Epel's story. You were proven wrong, and now you have to attend your remaining classes- but first, a trip to the infirmary is in order. Ace was too panicked to notice your injured state and pushed you away because of his little 'surprise'. Ah, you couldn't wait until classes are over.

おまけ！

"You told them what-!?" Ace shouted at Epel, Epel merely shrugged- "Hey, I didn't want to ruin your surprise." Ace massaged his temples and muttered darkly to himself. "So that's why they were crying… I'm an idiot!"

[tempoaryblogformightyjensblog]

After a Longass time, I'm gonna make a response post to a post from @itsclydebitches. Not sure if I'll acknowledge All

Of it, but still..

1.Thats, the opposite of what the First episode shows, the first episode shows that the Military presence in Mantle dosent really do anything to actually help them with the Grimm. With it even being joked about as usual for the Military by Nora. The next episode also states that wasn't even the reason James had for it. It was to handle the 'eventual' Panick.

2.This and the recurring point of this later on is something I kinda want to address, because it's sort of what I was trying to say in My ask but I should go into more detail.

The point is basically that If James was shady for what he did, then So is Ruby for being willing to work with him for that long...I kinda want to mix this with a different Criticism I heard. That Ruby not trusting Ironwood was horrible and ungrateful because of all the good stuff James had done and how sympathetic and well meaning he was. The issue is that they are both 2 halves of the picture that ignore the other half, wich was what the heroes actual response was.

Him being sympathetic, clearly just trying to help and all the Good stuff he was doing is why they are willing to work with him and help with things. But Ruby didn't like his shadier actions either, wich is why she didn't trust him completely. And also? ""Nora dosent agree...But Ruby, the leader, does. She pushed Ironwood to finish Amity somwhow", that....isnt What happens, we see After Nora yells at James, ruby walks up to him and tells him more calmly that his actions, his management of Mantle and such were only helping Salem and it's what was making it easy for Salem to frame him. And earlier on we saw her with the other protags suggest working with Robyn. That's not 'Reaping the benefits of his actions even if they don't like them', that's not liking some of his actions but still trying to Understand him, and hope to reason or talk him down. Basically...Well it's a display that the other charachterization for Ruby, that she was a judgmental child who considered anyone who went beyond her standard of perfection to be Evil, isn't true. She tries to help and Understand James because she knows despite his flaws he is trying to do good, she tries to reach out to him and get him to see his actions were flawed.

Hell, the Jobs they were actually given were jobs where they could actually help soften the consequences of James actions, like Ren and Nora guarding the wall. the Robyn thing was a direct display that they weren't just doing anything James asked or were perfectly fine with his morally ambiguous actions. When ordered to attack a Huntress who was just trying to help, they instead went against his orders and even tried to actually fix things in a better way.

3.This is a few different issues, I'll start by saying that, that wasn't Ozpins problem in the Previous Volume, Some fans and some of the Heroes in there Angrier times think that, But the big thing was basically that Ozpin wasn't trusting anyone With that Info, that's what separates it from Rubies situation with James, Ruby wasn't trusting James because he actually did have many traits that made him look untrustworthy. And...well Finishing Amity and the plan is not pointless even with Salems immorality. Ruby dosent 'Know' That her being immortal means that the whole plan is pointless for 2 reasons, 1 is that she never had the mindset that it made it all pointless, she was actually distinctly against that when the others thought that under the Apathies influence, and makes her stance clear later, that Salem being Unkillable doesn't mean she's unstoppable. And 2, she dosent 'Know' that because....Its not true. Even if they can't directly kill her like James is planning...Were explicitly, directly told in Salems first actual appearance in the show that Humanity United was a threat and that was why she was going to ensure she divided them. Not to mention that...It isn't even all about the plan? It's made clear that global communications being down was a really bad thing and fixing that alone would help.

4.Im just gonna address one point here...It was not 'The Majority of Mantle' Being taken, were told that they were not even close to being done evacuating.

5.Basically what I said at 2, But to also state, James wasn't an Unambiguous Bad guy in Volume 7, He was in the Wrong In Volume 7, but he wasn't meant to be a Villain yet. The point of James charachter is basically he's someone who meant well but was highly flawed and made bad decisions, and instead of growing from his mistakes, he doubled down on them and let his flaws consume him. I'll get to it more later, but, that doesn't mean he was always evil or meant to be, Also...Jaunes license was given to him by James but, he was not part of the Military being fused with Huntsman, especially by this point. And with Winters words in her and James fight, I have my own issues with that fight or Winters Arc, but I don't think that point holds up either because we weren't meant to see Winter as unambiguously a good guy in Volume 7. Her words in there fight was after she had changed, that dosent mean we're supposed to believe she was a hero while working under James. It just means her POV changed after leaving him, now she wasn't following her programming of being blindly obedient anymore. Penny called out Winter for her being willing to follow through with euthanizing the Winter Maiden, Marrow calls her out in Volume 8 asking the Weiss question.

6.Well, to answer the questions there, were told in episode 5 what the recources were. Clover says how they were taking 'Construction resources', were told this again by Penny in the Car ride, wich makes total sense. They are changing Amity so that it could serve as a shuttle, so needing Construction stuff makes sense. While we may not be told how much power James had explicitly, they do give us a decent idea, that he had way more then he should. It's said in the Council meeting that they set in Checks and balances to keep him from overstepping with his seats, and that he basically just Ignored them to pull the actions he did in Volume 7. And Watts gives us both one Major decision that shows James flaws and gives a Clue as to part of the reasons Mantle was crappy as it was, saying how James updated most of the code in Atlas after the fall of Beacon, but 'As Usual' None was updated in Mantle. Aside from showing a...Truly Spectacularly callous move on James part, it also gives a big clue as to part of the reason Mantle is as crappy as it is, That Atlas and James basically treat Mantle like an afterthought and neglects changing things there to make things better, resulting in the City's state that we see. And, I imagine that being surveillanced and patrolled almost constantly wouldn't be ideal, and it's established by Winters line in that first episode that not cooperating with Personal was a punishable offense. I think you also....Picked a really bad example with Rhodes, if anything, Rhodes is probably a perfect demonstration of why being complacent or loyal to a system is bad for Huntsmen. I think if he would have loved to help Cinder more, it's just that he was loyal to the System and wasn't doing anything to upset the status quo despite knowing it was wrong. If issues like that existed, then it makes James specialist program, wich is specifically supposed to be Huntsmen trained to be loyal to the system, an even worse idea. Also I sort of feel like the bits at the end are sort of a false equivalency. I explained Ozpin amd Rhodes but also...Well for one, while we don't see portals line up in those specific areas, the plan was to have Jaune explain what was going on with everyone. And Qrow, Marrow and Robyn were still taking in the other Ace ops,they knew the plan so they would likely just head over to the nearest portal after, and...Maria and Pietro weren't there. And in James case, it wasn't just him 'saving who he could', it's that he could have tried to do more but didn't because he didn't want to risk it, and as Volume 8 showed, they really did have lots of time to evacuate people and could have found a way to Launch Amity. And...Well in his case there's the little fact that, as his Convo with Oscar makes explicit, James plan involved leaving the rest of Mankind To the dust and at Salems mercy.

There are problems with RWBY, but I don't think it's shoddily written, partially because I don't really find it 'particularly' flawed and think the good far outweighs the bad. And you know what? To some degree, I agree. I do think there's a weird bias towards authority in the FNDM, but maybe alot of fans are too dismissive of criticism, I do think to some degree we should acknowledge the RWDE and such aren't all right wingers and there's now a Vocal part of it that are on the left or members of minority groups. I don't agree with a ton of the things they say, and think most of it dosent hold up, but instead of just dismissing, perhaps it's better to look at things in detail and give proper arguments agaisnt them. So I won't treat you like an idiot, I'm going to give a full rundown on why I don't feel like it holds up under analytical scrutiny.

For one, while it doesn't have those specific issues like in the real world, I don't agree with this Criticism because I feel it is the one that sort of ignores the worldbuilding and what's been shown or said about the Military and the world itself and not the show, It sort of feels like people just bring up the basic concepts that would seem reasonable and ignore how the show executes certain things. For one, the military was a leftover from a time when they were meant to fight against other humans, It was something an Authoritarian state held over after its defeat and reformation, James and the Military helped Jac as he turned the SDC into the horrific corporate empire it is, Covordin shows that Nationalism is indeed a bit thing and that there were high ranking officers who were fully comfortable with the possiblity of just waging war on the other Kingdoms again. And then there's the specialist program, I've seen people sort of distill it to its very basics to make it seem more reasonable, describing it as just stuff like Huntsmen having rules and such, when the show displays it being way more screwed up then that. It literally involves indoctrinating people as students, were shown Elm reprimand the protagonists saying how they don't need to think about Orders just follow them. As both Volumes show, the culture of the program is deeply screwed up and unhealthy for them, were shown how they taught stuff like repressing your emotions and how deeply unhealthy it is for them.

And...Furthermore? If we're judging by how things are In Universe with the show the world built...James way of doing things is, completely absurd. I already dislike Cynical 'This is the REAL world 'Types IRL. But....In the world James is in, his strategy is just....

He lives in a world where negativity causes monster attacks and the villains whole Shtick is manipulating narratives to cause disarray and ensuring people stay divided. James strategy involved closing off Atlas from the rest of Remnant after they were framed for causing the Fall of Beacon, never bothering to clear there name when sleet and Camilla say he could easily do so, he dismisses both his image across the Globe and in Atlas, and dismisses what the people of Mantle want and the stuff his actions currently cause, all as Neccesary sacrifices when that's all completely insane and Relies on basically ignoring absolutely everything about the situation they are in and how there enemy works, wich again, Ruby points out, that he was actively playing into Salems hands and making it easier for her.

I think it's a decent display of the Tunnel Vision James has, he's prepared for the negativity of the END result of his plan and made preparations for it, but he...Basically ignores the consequences his actions are having right now and how that will affect his ends.

Overall...I think the issue is that James is not meant to be the Bad guy through Volume 7, and I feel like its not that the show 'contradicts' it's pure black and white take on things, it's just that it wasn't there to begin with. Whenever a Major flaw Ironwood had from the start is brought up, it's claimed that it means he was supposed to be 'Always evil'(admitedly some fans as well), when it dosent, it just means his flaws and darker aspects were always there and he didn't jump off the slippery slope instantly like some claim.

Were meant to sympathize with James, understand him, ECT. We're meant to want to see him get better, to be escatic when he does almost get better.

Overall, I don't agree with the idea that James was a reasonable charachter who was bastardized, the show set him up as flawed pretty well already, he's sympathetic because he's designed to be sympathetic. He's not potrayed as a Villain through 7 because he wasn't meant to be til the end.

Also...Well, even if you still felt that him 'Just' abandoning Mantle was still just morally gray...That isn't dropped in V8, it's bascially dropped not 2 episodes later. Where not only does he shoot Oscar but Oscar pointed out not only was he abandoning Mantle, but abandoning the rest of Mankind. Wich James just responds calling it an 'excellant philosophical point'.

Dating Beverly Marsh Would Include...

Requested: [I'm sorry I can't remember who requested this or if this was an anon, I'm sorry!] Hey, could I request some headcanons about dating Beverly? (Also if you could add in the reader having homophobic parents 💕)

Warnings: obviously there will be homophobia, [at the end so people can skip if they need to read safely 😊] specifically from the readers parents so please feel free to skip if need be. And remember my blog is a safe space 💕 oh yeah theres also plenty of grammar/spelling errors i'm sure

A//n: This was WAY longer than I anticipated. I just kept coming up with more stuff and holy crap I love writing Bev x readers???? Please request more Bev Edit: this was in my drafts forever and again as much as i have been trying to get requests out in order, it's been pretty tough but at least this way stuff gets out sooner so here ya go.

Okay

First of all..

Y'all make the CUTEST COUPLE, OKAY?!

Like no joke

You know that cliche about girls stealing their boyfriends hoodies/clothes??

Well that goes for both of you and you both are always swapping clothes cause you both love each other's sense of style

Plus, ya know, it's got that great boyfriend girlfriend smell

It's cheesy and played out, but it's honestly so wholesome, and again, you guys each have an interest in each others senses of styles

If you're bigger than her, and her clothes don't necessarily fit you, pfffttt no big deal, she had a million blankets that smelled like her and then you two got together and now she can only find like,, two. But that doesn't mean she doesn't love stealing your clothes!! They're baggier on her but oH MY GOODNESS DOES SHE LOVE THAT. She just loves being able to completely immerse herself in your stuff. Especially when she isn't feeling safe in her own home and you aren't around, the best thing for her is to wrap herself in her your stuff and be comforted by you. Uggh, its hella sweet

But let's start from the beginning...

Both of you knew about each other from school

You definitely heard the many rumors about "Beaver-ly Marsh"

Not that you participated, but you were always overhearing rumors from gossiping girls and bragging boys in your class

Your school wasn't huge but it wasn't small either

But it was kill or be be killed, and rumors spread like the damn plague

It was inevitable

And it was just a matter of time before you overheard the several rumors of the "slut" who did it with every guy in school.

You'd roll you're eyes at the word and the ridiculous insinuations, knowing the massively overplayed game of telephone that ruled your school was not necessary the most credible source of information

And you were positive there were rumors about you, I mean, it really wasn't possible to go to that school without a rumor going around

Everyone had one

Anyways, you never paid much attention to them, but then you met her...

And oh no.

Immediately, it was:

You already never paid much mind to the rumors, but when you got to know each other??

Nuh uh.

No way

Not Beverly

No no no no, no

She was way too sweet, and shy, and beautiful, and awesome, and funny, annnd oh no the damn butterflies were back and shit she made you feel things

And you??

Bevery had no clue she was into girls until you came along...

You were her gay awakening and her being so used to all those nasty things people said about her and all those boys??

Even though it wasn't true, any of it, she still always expected that eventually one day she'd get her first boyfriend, to love and cuddle with and everything normal

Again, then you came along and her heart was all like

BOOM BOOM BEECH

You both danced around each other a lot. Seeing as you were two precious little gay beans that lived in a conservative town in the 80s, it wasn't exactly the most accepting environment and you guys didn't know if the other was into girls at all

On both sides it was "does she like me or is she just really laid back and friendly???"

It took way too long to figure out you were both into each other

If I'm being completely honest here, y'all were like the female reddie

Two girls who became best friends and always bickered like crazy to hide your feelings

The way you two found out you had feelings for one another was bumpy and awkward but silly and cute nonetheless

It came off in a passing comment that just slipped out

The two of you were having a sleepover like you did every Friday night you were available

and you two were laying on her bedroom floor talking about anything and everything staring at the ceiling

Her radio was playing in the background and the two of you were surrounded by various snacks you had been munching on all throughout the night and the conversation drifted to gossip about your peers at school

It went a little something like this:

Y: "Did you see so and so today??"

B: "Yes!!"

Y: *laughing* "Yeah, what the hell was that?"

B: I have no idea what goes on in her head...

B: but I guess I gotta give her some credit, she's always super confident and I'm like, 90% sure that's what makes her the most desirable girl in the 8th grade"

Y: "I guess that makes sense"

B: "I do wish I had her confidence. Maybe I'd have better luck romantically"

Y: "Oh please, like you need that. You're infinitely more attractive than her"

B: "What?"

Y: *panicked* "What?"

B: *slowly sits up with smug ass smirk on her lips* are you saying you find me... attractive?"

Y: ..."what?" *sweating*

B: *still smirking* "Wait,"

Y: "WhAT?"

B: *stILL smirking* "do you-?"

Y: *full on gay panic* "No!"

B: *smirking and blushing*

B: *lays back down* "well, I think you're pretty attractive yourself, if it's any consolation"

She's still so nervous though so it comes out in a whisper

She's 99 percent certain you just accidentally revealed your crush to her but her heart was p o u n d i n g anyway

What if it just came out wrong and that's why you panicked???

Had she just revealed her crush to you by mistake???

But no

You both were a blushing mess and it did not go unnoticed by either one of you

You're hands kinda accidently brushed and you both just had a heart attack on the spot

But the connection you two had that night

You both just... knew

You guys kinda just... happened

After that you both were aware you liked each other

But it was kind of unspoken

At first

It's not like you guys never talked about it, but you two definitely became more touchy and flirty

Holding hands when no one was looking

Shortly before you guys happened and before that night, she had introduced you to losers and they just totally accepted you as one of their own

You got along especially well with Richie (wonder why)

But Bev wasn't too happy about this particular fact...

Especially after you two got together

She wasn't necessarily jealous, especially cause she already had a sneaking suspicion about his feelings for another loser, but because he took up a lot of her time with you

But then, to her chagrin, Richie found out about you two

the eight of you were hanging out in the clubhouse, and Ben had to make some adjustments so him and the others left momentarily to help him get the resources

Except you, and Bev

You two volunteered to hold down the fort [literally]

aaaaaaand you two wanted to have a few minutes alone together too,

Nothing scandalous or anything like that, but you two didn't get be close around the losers

Then Richie returned way earlier than expected [turns out he was doing more harm than good and they sent him back]

He was just outside the entrance and he overheard you two

"I wish we could tell them,"

"I know. And it's not that I don't think they'll accept us, it's-" *sigh* "I'm just not ready... I'm sorry"

"Don't be. It's okay, we can tell them when we're both good and ready."

"Thank you, Y/n."

Richie just kinda stood there thinking about what he just heard

I mean, it made sense, you guys were really close, but then again, that's just how he thought all girls were

But everything else kinda made more sense the more he thought about it

And, it honestly reminded him of him and Eddie

More specifically, how he felt about his best friend

Now naturally this was a very emotional moment, but Richie Tozier being Richie Tozier wasn't about to waltz in there and give some sappy speech about he accepts you guys and he's here for you no matter what

No, no, no

He laid down on the forest floor, sticking his head in the clubhouse scaring the shit out of you two and said

"You guys should really be more quiet, Ben may be a suspiciously good overnight kid architect sensation but he has yet to soundproof this baby"

He then stuck his arm inside the clubhouse, patting the ceiling, shaking a couple spiders loose from his his hand in disgust

"Richie...!"

You two jumped apart and you about nearly shit your pants

"Relax, I'm not gonna tell anyone,"

You both were startled as hell and absolutely disgruntled but the two of you looked at each other, simultaneously breathing a sigh of relief

He got up and joined you two in the clubhouse, and began lounging in his usual spot in the hammock, arms behind his head

"So, this means you two are both into girls, huh?"

Once again, you looked at one another and back at him, nodding shyly

He plastered on the most mischievous smirk you had ever seen and nodded his head, his huge eyes squinting slightly from behind his glasses

"niceee"

This of course was followed by simultaneous eye rolls, Bev even threw her gum wrapper at him but you laughed

It was a relieved laugh

Here you were, exposed and unintentionally outed to Richie "Trashmouth" Tozier and sure enough his reaction was "nICE"

It was honestly a relief and kinda hilarious

You guys just kinda broke out into laughter

It was nice moment

***TRIGGER WARNING FOR [PARENTAL] HOMOPHOBIA BELOW***

And for a while, everything was great. That was, until your parents began to take note just how much time you were spending with Bev

They kept an eye on it at first

Then they started asking questions

You knew this day would come one way or another

Hell, you grew up with them after all, you knew what they thought about people like you and it broke your heart

It terrified you

And it's exactly what you heard every night when you tried to fall asleep, their voices speaking to you clear as day; how disgusted they were. They weren't really there of course and it wasn't until you became a loser that you found out what that voice was...

The point is, your deepest fear was being realized so you did what you could do

Lie

And it seemed to work. Briefly

Your mother had come in to check on you two for the fifth time - usually she checked on you two four times since their suspicions - and found you two snuggled up on top of your sleeping bags

Your mother screamed, scaring the crap out of you guys and you jumped apart

Your mother was thrown into hysterics and went to fetch your father, wailing like a damn baby

Needless to say that night was a long one for everyone

And as if things couldn't get any worse, just days later you found out that Beverly had been taken by It

Immediately, every doubt, every fear, every inkling of shame your parents and your community had drilled into you was forgotten and all that mattered was getting her back

You and your friends literally went through hell to get her back

Needless to say it was a terrifying ordeal but you all had each other's backs and everyone came out okay

When you left Neibolt, you and Beverly were hand in hand

You couldn't give a flying fck about it, you just fought a shape-shifting demon clown you could face your small minded parents

And more importantly you knew even if your parents didn't support you, you had other people who did that and that was enough

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

Hope you enjoyed, sorry it's so long and again this is out of order of who requested it so I'm sorry to those of you who had stuff in before this, but I've just been stuck for too long and I needed to get things moving again. Anyways, I hoped you guys like this and again, omg I love writing Beverly!!! I would not be offended if you guys asked for more Bev fics/hc when I open up requests again

Beetlelands!

For some reason the message won't show up when I try and answer, so I'll write it out 🤷

Anonymous asked: hey, could you do some goldenrat/beetlelands and/or beetledeetzlands HC and art? I love my poly babies 🥺

Yesss! Love me my poly ships 💜💜

I don't know enough about beetledeetzlands but I can do beetlelands!

It started when Adam kissed beetlejuice at the wedding

Beej couldn't stop thinking about it, about Adam, he was almost frustrated because there was no way it would happen, besides, he'd been sent back to the netherworld so he clearly wasn't wanted

He was scared because of all the shit he pulled on the Maitlands before, he regretted harassing them

He eventually talked to her about it, and she was accepting, but couldn't say she felt the same, she wasn't exactly over what beetlejuice had done

Although it turned out Adam couldn't stop thinking about it either, and he felt guilty because he was with Barbara right??

Also confused because why?? Why does he feel these things??

Almost a year after the incident, the Maitlands-Deetz household had a sit down, it may have been brief, but there was a certain appreciation for the demon

Lydia (and Adam, too, somewhat) practically beg for beetlejuice to be allowed back

Delia is willing to give a second chance, and Barbara and Charles are apprehensive but can see how much he is wanted back by the other two

Lydia summoned beetlejuice back, and he was so shocked?? And thrilled??

He also felt kinda apprehensive, cus like,, what if they were just gonna trick him again?

With help from Lydia and Delia, beej is able to open up to them all, becoming more friendly and less defensive

Barbara and Adam notice the shift in his behaviour, finding him rather sweet in his own way

Adam is falling hard, like, the object of some of his more recent fantasies (although he refuses to call them that) is becoming more and more like how he would imagine

Barbara finds herself catching feelings, too, starting to openly talk with Adam about how they feel about beetlejuice, or just talking about him like teenagers at a sleepover

Beej loves how the Maitlands are being so nice to him??

His hair starts going slightly pink when they do things for or with him

And then when they're just talking to him

And then when they're just around

… shit he totally fell for them

But there's no way they could love him back, right??

Other members of the household can see the awkward pining between the two parties, it's almost painful

FINALLY, they have a movie night, and the Maitlands are shy to encourage beetlejuice to sit between them, but he gets what they're asking

By the end of the first film they're cuddled up to each other, feeling equal parts flustered, hopeful and content

Beej is instant pink hair!!

They watch a cheesy rom-com to finish the night and Barbara just kinda let's slip a sleepy "mm I love you both so much"

Adam is mildly panicking, and Barbara barely noticed she said anything

"You- you do?"

Adam would pipe up about his feelings too and beej could just about explode he's so happy

That's the point she realised and blushed furiously "yeah, I do…"

They're super cute together

"Holy shit, you're serious? I love you too! Both of you!" He'd have a massive grin on his face

They actually manage to get him to take a bath!!

They find scars over his arms, torso and a bit of his face left by his mother, when all of the dirt is removed

Bathtime turns into cuddle time, blue hair beej showered in love and affection

They all switch turns being in the middle when sleeping or watching films

They never fight over who's turn it is, they just follow a rotation

Beej was doing alright for friendly touches from his few friends in the netherworld, plus Lydia and Delia

But god if he was starved of intimate touches

Things like hands on his thighs, waist, stomach, face, or just having someone to cuddle up with in soft moments

The Maitlands accidentally find out how much he loves those touches and how horny they can make him, when done right

GOD it feels good to write again, without the commitment of a full on fic- sorry the art took so long though 😅

I loved making these!! Wasn't sure how far to take it, so I made it mostly sfw

Thanks so much nonnie! Hope you liked it!

Having a crush on Gryffindor!Johnny

Quick Disclaimer: I've never written anything like this before and English is my second language so I hope it turned out alright :)

so like it all started very innocent

you just had a crush on a Gryffindor boy

nothing big right, everyone has a crush from time to time

or at least that was your opinion

But your two best friends had a different way of seeing these kind of things

Mark and Yeri couldn't stop gushing about it

They made sure to not tell anyone, yeah, they'd never do that intentionally

but everytime they'd see your crush they would whip out an entire notebook, writing down every lottle detail about the things he did

your crush being Johnny by the way

but your friends would write down E V E R Y T H I N G he did in order to evaluate whether he'd be a good match or nah

They really just wanted to do their best to make you happy

and you appreciated it. You really did

but when Mark almost ran full force into a wall, after an intense session of stalking Johnny, you had enough of it

you loved your friends but it annoyed you to no end how they couldn't stay out of your business

so when the three of you were standing in an empty hallway you scolded them about it

telling them how your crush wouldn't be a big deal and how they should start focusing on their own love interests

you obviously knew they had a thing for each other but they....just.... didn't

anyway

so you just finished scolding your friends, being obviously pissed about their behavior

when Johnny and one of his friends come walking around the corner, chatting the day away

and you hoped to God that they hadn't heard anything

and they didn't seem to, they just greeted Y'all with a nice wave and then left you there to finish your conversation

you didn't want them to hear anything about your conversation so you just took a turn and went back to your dorm, leaving Yerim and Mark behind

fast forward to the weekend

it was hogsmeade weekend

and you'd love to go

you really wanted to

but you're so forgetful you missed to ask your parents to sign the permission slip for you

so you had to stay back at the castle trying not to die of boredom

Johnny caught wind of that

and he kinda just decided to stay at hogwarts

for you

The only problem was... he didn't tell you.... so.... he spent his entire day searching do you. without success

Around evening he gives up and goes to sit down on one of the stairs, sulking

Alone

It was about dinner time so you made your way towards the great hall, eager to get some of that nice hogwarts food after spending the entire day doing your homework

On your way there you passed Johnny, silently wondering what had his energetic ass go this sulky and quiet

He spotted you out of the corner of his eyes and,,,, his face brightened up big time

Which honestly confused you but you weren't sure whether you should go talk to him or rather keep walking to go get the food you were longing for.

You took the option more important to you... and so you kept walking, shooting him just a small confused smile before redirecting your attention to the way ahead

Johnny couldn't leave it at that and nearly jumped onto his feet, hurriedly catching up to you all the while trying to keep his cool

He couldn't

Even your dense ass noticed that he was trying hard to keep up something.... That honestly wasn't even there

Anyway so he comes up to you and asks you what you've been up to all day

So you tell him that you've been studying in your room

And two realizations hit him

One: He totally forgot that 500 page essay he had to write for potions

Two: He was pretty dumb for being a flat A student

His hand found its way onto the back of his head, scratching his scalp in his attempt of trying to cover up his embarrassement

You weren't sure whether you should be embarrassed, amused or just confused

So you just went for the most logic option and went,,, awkward,,,

So now you two were walking alongside each other with an awkward aura following you into the great hall

You were about to kind of just try to slide to your table when he suddenly stops you

He really didn't want to let you go just like that

Also he didn't really feel like spending another day of hopeless searching

So his emotions kind of overreacted and he grabs your wrist, seeming a bit panicked blurting out an

'do you want to go out with me?'

And like you were kind of.... Confused...Shocked... And embarrassed.... And oh my God was that the feeling of your cheeks getting hot?

You kind of just stared at him in shock

Because truth be told he almost screamed that into your face

As he realized that as well he let go off your wrist, his hand finding the back of his head again

'I- I'm sorry'

You just shook your head in an attempt of telling him that it wasn't a big deal

BUT HE JUST ASKED YOU A YES OR NO QUESTION

AND YOUR REACTION WAS TO SHAKE YOUR HEAD

It confused him honestly, he was sure he heard you talking about him the other day

Jaehyun confirmed that he had heard it too

But he didn't want to press any further and make you uncomfortable or even scared

So he kind of just nodded, whispering a small 'sorry'

And finally you snapped out of your shock, now it being your turn to almost scream at him

'Oh no no, that's not what I meant. I- I mean- of course! I just- blanked?'

Your voice became quite towards the end but Johnny understood every word

And he was happy again

But also embarrassed

And so were you

Then your senses kicked in and you couldn't hold back a little snort

Which FINALLY broke that awkward, embarrassing tension that was going on as both of you just kind of chuckle-laughed

He nodded relieved and amused

'okay, I'll think of something creative'

You grinned and let out a hum in agreement

'You better!'

After deciding on a day and time you parted ways to go and sit at your house tables

You also took note of the fact that there were only a handful of students that caught up to your conversation, which made you sigh relieved

you sat down on your usual spot, hieving enormous amounts of food onto your plate

You were so deep into your task that you didn't notice the two pairs of eyes, staring at your head like you were Fluffys sister

Until you actually lifted your head and stared right back

'What?'

The innocent sounding question seemed to send your friends off to the moon

'WHAT?'

Yeri repeated your question as if it was the most ridiculous thing someone had ever asked

Mark was just sitting there, still kind of baffled by your previous interaction with the Gryffindor guy

'Your long term crush just asked you out and you're just sitting there..... Eating'

Yeri accusingly pointed her fork at you, waving it up and down as she continued talking

'you should be squealing. You should be gushing about it. Why are you just EATING?'

She wasn't wrong, your were indeed.... Eating

Cheeks filled with food, you weren't entirely able to answer her questions, though you weren't even sure if you could actually find any answers to them

You were just hungry

Anyway the point why I'm still writing about this is

You noticed how she was behaving a bit off

More off then usual

So you let your gaze slide to Mark, looking for answers

When he just kind of starts blushing

You go back to Yeri and she just starts,, blushing

And at first you're confused

But then you get it

You were being way cooler after being asked out by your crush then Yeri would probably ever be

And she just wanted to cover that embarassment up

So you grinned, all the while trying not to loose the food that was stuffed in your mouth

You weren't really able to talk so you just aggressively started to wiggle your eyebrows

Your friend almost screamed as she started to throw broccoli at you

'SHUT up!!'

You started laughing

All the food you tried to keep in started to plop down onto your plate and you almost choked on a carrot before your friends lost it and laughed along

So the three of you were sitting at your house table, laughing the whole situation away

And in the far there was Johnny, watching the situation unfold in silence, an amused smile on his face

He chose the right one and he couldn't wait for that date

[jojo-at-his-computer]

Of course. I gotta say, this kinda makes me think of the song Pity Party, so I love it.

Josuke X Reader: Happy Birthday To You

It was a lovely morning in Morioh when you woke up, the smell of chocolate chip pancakes and bacon greeting you. You got up, washed your face, put on your favorite outfit, brushed your hair and went downstairs. Your dad was reading the newspaper while your Mom set your place at the table with your special breakfast.

"Happy birthday!" shouted Mom and Dad. You smiled. It was your 16th.

"Thank you guys!" you said sitting down to your meal, instantly drowning your pancakes in syrup and devouring them.

"Imagine that." said Dad in surprise "16! Almost a grown-up." He and Mom smiled proudly.

"Hurry up and eat, then we'll get the decorations put up." You beemed and you finished your breakfast, appetite invigorated.

As you went around the house putting up balloons and streamers in your favorite colors, your mind wandered. Your family had only moved to Morioh a few months ago. You ended up starting highschool in town as a first year, one of many new kids, and you ended up making a few new friends there. Your best friend was Josuke Higashikata, a classmate of yours. He was a pretty nice guy, though if someone were to make fun of his hair, he'd kick their ass. He had a unique pompadour haircut, and while you were a bit nervous to say so, you thought it was cute. You thought HE was cute. Okay just admit it, you were totally crushing on him, hard! You liked everything about him, his hair, his sapphire blue eyes, his smile, and on your first day of school, he saved you from a group of bullies that were trying to shove you into a locker. You've been wanting to confess your feelings to him, but you've been so nervous. You shook your head. Today's not the day to think about mushy stuff like that. Nope! Today's the day for celebration! It's your party and your day to shine!

After putting up the decorations, Mom told you to go ahead and relax in the living room for a few hours until the time that guests would arrive. You played some Mario for a bit, but after falling down and dying for the umpteenth time, you decided it'd be better to watch a few anime videotapes for the time being. But as you went to plug in the VCR, you heard Mom slam the phone in frustration.

"Just great!" shouted Mom. She shook her head and calmed her voice down to not upset you as much. "I'm sorry sweetie, but Grandpa is sick and can't make it, and I just got off the phone with your Aunt. She had an emergency meeting that's running late and had to cancel."

"Oh!" you said a bit surprised. "I'm sorry. That really sucks! I hope Grandpa gets better." You felt bad, but you also knew that your parents would try to get them together again and you all would get to do something special altogether, like a movie or dinner at a restaurant.

"I'll tell Grandpa you said that." said Mom. "It's about time for your friends to start arriving, why not wait in the sunroom to greet them." You glanced at the clock, about 5 til 4 pm, realizing she was right.

"Okay" you answered. You grabbed a copy of Shonen Jump to read as you awaited your friends arrival. 10 minutes, no one yet. That's okay, it's only 5 after 4. 30 minutes went by. Huh that's weird, but they must be running late. 45 minutes now. You start getting a little worried. An hour. You ended up finishing your Shonen Jump magazine. Out of fear and anger, you start pacing the floor in front of the door. Tears start to well up under your eyes. It's 5:15, more than an hour and no one shown up! Without giving it a 2nd thought, you cross to the phone in the kitchen. Mom asked you a question, but you ignored her, all you could think about was knowing why the hell you got stood up at your own party.

You dial Josuke's number at rapid fire speed, hearing the dial tone indicating the phone was ringing. You heard the gentle click as Josuke answered on the other end.

"Moshi moshi, this is Higashikata!" answered Josuke. You couldn't help but feel an odd sense of joy hearing his gentle voice, followed by anger and hurt that he wasn't at your party.

"Where were you!" you said suddenly shouting. Josuke was taken aback.

"(Name) is that you?" asked Josuke. "Where we supposed to hang out or something today? What's wrong?" All of the sudden you couldn't take it anymore and tears burst from you, not being able to hold it in anymore.

"I can't believe you didn't show up for my party!" you shouted "Nobody shown up, the party has been going on since four, and nobody came! Not even Grandpa or my aunt could make it!" you were heaving in-between sobs, shaking before you realized you heard Josuke ask something. You calmed down a bit before you asked him to repeat what he just said.

"Today's your birthday?" he asked.

"Yes of course it's my birthday! I sent you the -" you cut off when it clicked in your brain. You realized what might have happened, why nobody had shown up.

"You didn't get an invitation, did you?" you asked Josuke.

"I don't think so!" answered Josuke, "I wouldn't forget your party if I did."

"Oh my God!" you said feeling weak. "Of course! Something must have happened with the invitations! I'm so sorry. I should have known you'd make it. Well now the party is ruined and it's all my fault."

"Not yet!" answered Josuke. "Don't cancel the party yet. Give me about an hour, I promise."

"Okay." you answered, taking a deep breath. "I believe you, just get here as soon as you can." You hear the dial tone that the line is now dead. You breathed a sigh as you sat on the floor waiting. It was now 5:25. You waited some more. It was 5:55. You called Josuke's house again, but his mom picked up. However she did confirm that Josuke left awhile ago. You said thank you and hung up. At this point Mom looked in the front room where you were waiting.

"I'm sorry honey." she said hugging you. "It's been a couple hours, why don't you join us and we'll cut the cake."

"No mom, I know Josuke for sure is coming." You explained how you found out there was an apparent mailing mishap that prevented the invitations from reaching your friends. Mom shrugged.

"Okay." she said. "But if he doesn't show up before 7, we're cutting the cake without him."

"Deal" you said. You looked at the clock, it was now 6:15, nearly an hour since you spoke to him. Where could he be? Of course! He must be going to get me a present, you reasoned. No sooner you finished your thought, there's a knock at the door.

"Hello", you say as you answered the door. You opened it to find not only Josuke had arrived like he said he would, but he brought some friends with him too. There was Okuyasu and Koichi, two of your friends from school, and two people you didn't recognize, an old man with a white beard and glasses, and a man in his late 20's wearing a white hat that had "JO" on it. Everyone's arms were loaded with giftbags.

"Oh my gosh!" you gushed, "You guys made it! Josuke thank you for bringing everyone here." you said giving him a hug. "C'mon in guys." you motioned for everyone to come inside.

"Sorry we're late," said Josuke, "I called Koichi and Okuyasu, along with my, er, relatives, this is Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo by the way." he said motioning to the old man and the man in white respectively. You remembered Josuke saying he had family members in town recently.

"Hello there," said Mr. Joestar.

"Hello," said Jotaro with a small smile.

"Nice to meet you. Thank you both for coming." you replied.

"We realized that we didn't have any presents." said Koichi.

"And we weren't sure what to get you." admitted Okuyasu.

"Yeah," said Josuke a bit embarrassed. "We kinda panicked and went to different stores. Sorry we didn't have time to wrap anything."

"That's okay!" you laughed. "You didn't have to get me all these presents. I'm happy to have you guys present! (God that's such a terrible pun lol) I'm so glad everyone's here." You led everyone to the kitchen, having the guests put their gifts on one of the tables. There was a whole table with pizzas and potato chips and soda pops, you told the guests to help themselves. You made conversation with your friends and Josuke's relatives as you enjoyed your pizza. Jotaro talked about his marine biology work he's been doing in town. Later you opened presents from your friends. After that, your parents brought out the cake, frosted with pastel buttercream and had 16 candles all aglow. Everyone sang Happy Birthday as you blew the candles, making your wish.

Shortly after the cake and ice cream, the guests started to leave. You said goodbye and thanked everyone for coming. Josuke decided to hang around a little bit before going home. The sun had set and it was nighttime. You and Josuke decided to sit in the backyard and look at the stars.

"I'm so sorry I yelled at you earlier," you said a bit embarrassed.

"Hey, don't worry about it." said Josuke. "I'm sorry I forgot your birthday. I probably should have called earlier, but I forgot, I've just had a lot on my mind lately." You nodded understandably. You couldn't exactly put your finger on it, but a lot of weird stuff was happening lately in town.

"Anyways," said Josuke, pulling out something from his jacket pocket, "I kinda lied. I had something special I've been wanting to give you. I got this awhile ago." It was a small rectangle shaped box. You opened it and inside was a gold medallion necklace with two gold charms, a heart and a peace sign, just like the gold pins he wears on his uniform.

"Oh my, this is beautiful!" you exclaimed. "I love it. Thank you!"

"I'm glad you love it!" said Josuke blushing a little. You sighed. Guess the time is now to tell him.

"So, I've been wanting to tell you for awhile. I've had a crush on you since I started school here. I think you're cute, I love your hair, and I ended up making friends here thanks to you, and I want to be more than friends, but I was so nervous to tell you because I'm afraid you wouldn't like me that way and then things would be awkward and - "

You were interrupted when Josuke suddenly gave you a quick kiss. Both of you blushed a bright red.

"I'm sorry." said Josuke blushing a bit. "I've been wanting to tell you too. That's why I got you the medallion."

"Thank you so much." you say happily. "Now that we're together, you want to see a movie or something this weekend?"

"That sounds great!" says Josuke. You put on the madallion necklace, smiling at Josuke.

"You look beautiful!" said Josuke smiling. You happened to look at your watch, it was about a quarter to 10.

"Oh crap! It's late! You got to get home!" you said in surprise.

"Oh God you're right!" said Josuke looking at the time. "Meet you at the movies this weekend?"

"Of course." you answered. You gave him a kiss goodbye and walked him to the front door. You waved goodbye as he left, then went to help Mom clean up and put away the party decorations. While it had a rocky start, it turned out to be an amazing party. You thought about the wish you made when you blew out the candles, it had come true. You wished to kiss Josuke.

😃 I love that cats just think everything belongs to them. Cats just go through life with so much confidence. 😊

I agree, creative outlets are very important. I think they are just super peaceful activities.

I hope the question about fears wasn't too personal. Please let me know if I ever ask something that makes you uncomfortable. And of course you don't have to answer anything that you don't want to.

And don't be sorry about what you wrote. Actually I can relate to it. I don't fear much, but being alone one day scares me too. I only have my mom and dad. And my mom helps me a lot with navigating social situations. I fear the day when she can't help me anymore, because I know I won't be able to navigate those situations without her. And I guess I also fear not finding friends or a relationship anymore. Or someone who truly understands me and has a connection with me, if that makes sense. 😅 Most of the people I went to school with are getting married and having children or buying houses and I'm just lowkey panicking 😅😅 Like how are they all so good at this whole adult thing?!? 😅

Never told that anyone. But yeah...

I'm also scared of clowns since I was a child. 😅 I know this is such a ridiculous fear, but for some reason they make me uncomfortable. 😅 I can't even explain why.

And when I was a kid I was scared of heights. But I got over that in my teen years. My dad went with me to an old tower and we both walked up the stairs to the roof. While we walked up I told my dad how high it is and he just told me how everything is okay and how its not even that high and that its no problem and all. So when we walked up on the roof and I looked down I was surprisingly okay with it. I was just like: okay this is fine, thought it was worse. Meanwhile my dad discovered that actually he is the one who is scared of heights. 😅😂 He just wanted to get back down again as fast as possible. 😃

What things make you laugh?

Yes, I very much wish I had even a little bit of the confidence of a cat 🐱

Oh no, you're totally fine, no need to worry at all! I very much appreciate your consideration ☺️💕

It's bittersweet to know you can't relate. Makes me feel a little less silly for feeling this way. You should give yourself more credit, you're an absolute delight to interact with so I'm sure you're far better at social things than you realise 💕 Oh gosh, yes so many people from school are married with kids! I live on my own so I've had to figure out a lot of adult things like bills and whatnot, but I still feel like I'm so out of my depth with it all 😓 Thank you for trusting me with telling me these things, you're definitely not alone in feeling that way 💕

That's so cute, your Dad sounds like he cares about you a lot to face his own fear to help you work through yours ☺️

I have a pretty simple sense of humour, I think. Definitely a little immature at times 😅 Animals are definitely one of the things that make me laugh the most. My friends also always seem know how to get a giggle out of me. Whenever we have a boardgame night I always end up having a sore tummy from laughing so much.

What kind of things make you smile most? What kinda of compliments mean the most to you?
