#i am goign to pass away

[holyscream]

That voice inside your head that says, “Hey, you should write an AO3 skin that fully replaces the default. It will be fun :D”?

Yeah, that’s the devil talking.

I don’t want to know how long I spent on this, even excluding the year-long break where I gave up after realizing I couldn’t use flexbox, grid, or calc. The only reason why I decided to finish it this week was because I forgot that was the case and then I was too stubborn to stop.

Oh, and you bet it’s responsive. Well, responsive in the way that AO3 allows you two breakpoints and no custom media-queries.

It needs a bit more tweaking in some places, but for the sake of my own sanity I want to say that version 1.0 of this skin is finished now.

[valiantthearts]

I don't have any sort of new years traditions or goals. I don't actually really celebrate new years. I think the closest thing to celebrating new years is more the Lunar New Years (chinese new years) with the concept of the spring festival. More about rebirth of winter to spring, the idea of lighting up, cleaning and starting fresh. New Years in the US seems more on getting drunk and all. Not that that is what new years is to everyone, but the way I was raised, it was heavy fireworks, drinking, and passing out the night of. I just didn't' care for it.

But one thing I do follow, is the love of friends and family and reuniting with those who really bring life into your life. So, I figured I'll just kind of bring to light for some of those because it really is something that matters to me. Friendship, connection, and never taking for granted what we have.

@sharransepulchre / @infernalapparatus - I know I've said this time and time again, but you is probably one of the closest people I'm connected to. thanks to monkey, we were able to connect and it just kind of was like hitting the mark running. And without you, I wouldn't be able to have a new beginning! I'm finally getting to figure out who I am, what I want in life, and you really made this happen. Your friendship is genuinely one of the most amazing friendship I could every have and I am so, so thankful for it. You reminded me who I can be and what kind of light I can have in my life again. I can never express how much I love you and how much I value what we have so much <3 I hope you know I'm always here for you to, no matter what <3

@shimmerbeasts - Man, we've been through hell and back one too many times and yet we are still going strong. You're like a sister to me and I can't believe how easy we connect and understand each other. Through thick and thin we are goign through it all. Hell, like Jinx said "I'm always with you. Even when we're worlds apart." We really are worlds apart, with such a time difference and different countries, but I know you got my back no matter what. So, no matter how far apart we are, I always am just a message away for you. Nothing is going to pull us apart.

@piltover-sharpshooter - I still remember the first day you followed me, and I was so scared to follow back. one, because the fandom seems ot have this struggle of 'same muse anxiety' and all this. It was Miss T who was like 'its all good its safe!' and man, I don't have any regrets. I love all the chats we have about our Caitlyns, and despite being so different it such a pleasure to really get to see this. But also, your just a great person to talk to, from our fandom to just random things that pop up. You've been such a delight and I hope for more fun in the future.

@jynxd - Man, to think we struggled at first. I swear, moments like this is when I really do think I have autism cause I always have to find something that clicks. And then, we did and it was all over with. But mroe then that, our little group, we've been through so much and yet, having each other really helps get through it. Your friendship is amazing, your support, I lvoe having you in my life as well as Rune (@melody) <3

@ruinouss - I GOT YOU ADDICTED TO ARCANE HAHA! This is one of my proudest things ever. okay, not really, but I love how we have bonded over the last few months… or half year? I don't even know how long its been. But I love talking wiht you, just going wild over things from dragon age, to arcane, and still talking about BG3 (even though I'm struggling to write in that fandom right now). I hope you know your stuck with me, I'm never letting you go.

@goldenfists - I think oru friendship really shows the meaning of how time doesn't matter. I think for awhile there, we went quiet, 2-4 months or somethign like that. Like we really just, stopped talking. I know it wasn't became of anything between us, we just had so much on our plates, dealing with new fandoms or things. Yet, hte moment I sent you a message, it was like nothing had changed. The light was reignited and it was sitll there. This is what friendship should be, where even if things happen, we lose touch, time is just a construct. It doesn't determine the livelihood of friendship, and hte moment you start talking again its like no time has passed. You are amazing Joo, and I hope you know how much I value you time and our chats. It always makes my day <3

@gaevaer / @arcanacontained / @harpershigh / @ninetaels / @lvnarii

/ @hexedevolution / @stcries / @flordivina - You are all new friends and honestly, everytime we get to talk it makes me so excited! I know I might be terrible at talking lately, my hyperfixation can be hard to deal with and all that, but I absolutely LOVE getting to talk to all of you as well. I value you all, and I really hope for new and exciting things to come.

And then of course all my other new followers, I want you to know i'm always here if you want to message, I'm always open to chats. you are all valued and amazing in what you do and remember that we make this world what we want. Things can get hard, you can hit rock bottom. I did, and yet, we can still reach out, reach up, and be what we wnat to people. Never let anyone tell you what you can or can't do, make this year a time for you to develop yourself. Its not about what we have, but what we want to be.

Never forget your value.

[fangirlingpuggle]

So sleep deprived and just very very dumb ramble filled  Riddlebat fic prompt (or just protective rouges gallery). Warning this may be dumb I am very tired.

So the Justice League facing some big bad (Darkseid or Brainaic maybe?)whoever it is broadcasting the fight (the JL not knowing this) towards the end the fight going really bad or the bad guy having a fuck you self destruct button on wherever they are. The JL trying to figure out how to get out only for Bruce to totally do the self sacrifice play making sure the others get out.

Just the rouges watching him trick the others into getting out, making them think he’s goign to but him staying back (either because it couldn’t get them all out or to try and stop trap left behind)

Them watching as he’s still there...and then an explosion and the broadcast cutting out.

Just the rouges all quietly freaking out but not really because ‘please it’s batman he’ll be fine he’ll have gotten out he’s fine he has to be fine...right?’

The slow freak out as days pass and the batman’s not here...well he’s fine he has to be fine...yeah of course he’s fine he’ll be back in no time...he has to be.

Riddlebat bit, Edward very much in denial and slowly but surely freaking the fuck out, not helping that Harley’s crying with worry because the batman’s fine he has to be fine he hasn’t proven he’s smarter then the bastard yet, he has to be fine he’s not allowed to have di...HE’S FINE.AND NO HE’S NOT WORRIED!

The other JL members who show up, and don’t try solving his riddles which is JUST RUDE! Aren’t giving anything away and that’s not making him freakout more. He’s just trying to hack into the JL system to prove he can he’s not looking into if they have the Batman marked down as dead or not.

Just Riddler slowly realizing that oh fuck..I LOVE HIM. (Very slowly) the JL members who help out Gotham (flash, GL) (Because Bruce is on forced bed rest with a very pissed Diane guarding him because how many times have they told him not to pull that self sacrificing bullshit!!) all know that Batman has a crush on the Riddler (Because they’ve worked together for years and they see his smile when he gets those stupid riddle filled threats and ‘wow Bruce has a crush but also DUDE NOW IS NOT THE TIME’ also the Robins told them) and they’re going to get these idiots to realize their feelings...also they totally want to fuck with these guys they are not losing this opportunity.

Just Batman finally showing back up and getting wither very awkward hug from rouges gallery (mainly Harley) or the most awkward sudden confession from Riddler....

Bruce is just like ...WTF happened while I was gone...do I still have brain damage? I may still have brain damage. (The Robins are recording it they knew this shit was going to happen)

[luci-cunt]

hey luci not to be an ao3 note but how does homesong end

kajsd;fljkasl;dfjkaslf;asjd I had so many plans man T-T

main points under this [VERY BIG AND BLATANT SPOILER WARNING FOR THE END OF HOMESONG] which unfortunately I doubt I will ever finish T-T

Ok first off

- Kevin and Neil are half-brothers bc Kayleigh and Mary are the same person

- Riko betrays them when they go to kill Livingstone (duh) and it backfires

- Stuart makes an appearance

Basically what was gonna happen is that 1) ppl are confused bc Neil can manifest the keys--which shouldn't be possible, and then they wanna know who his mom is/ parent--and eventually he cracks and tells them Mary and Nathan, but he doesn't give last names but he doesn't need to bc when the wolves hear Nathan they go "not Nathan Wesninski??" and he's like "Are you fucking kidding me" but then they all assume he's lying bc--

ok here's the thing about Kayleigh right?? She was a super powerful witch but she had this specific like, niche?? Brand?? where she would make Wolf-hunters infertile so they couldn't pass down their legacy at all, and Nathan Wesninski was one of the first she did this too. So everyone's like "ok but you look like a carbon copy of him tho, so you have to be his kid--but the only way you're his kid is if she lifted her curse."

Which is when Neil's like "ok well, it's not a thing bc Mary died, like--two years ago, and Kayleigh's probably still alive--"

Which is when Kevin's like-- "[Very specific date that I have not managed to find in Nora's ec or have the time to come up with myself--]??" and everyoen's like "??" but Neil is like "shit wait--how did you guess that???"

But poor Kevin is losing his fucking shit, and he very losely explains that it's the day his tether with his mother snapped--aka the day he was so distraut by not understand what was happening (bc he had no idea--he was with Riko and his tether had never snapped before) that he snapped at Riko, which pissed Riko off so much that he snapped back and broke his hand.

(aye aye it comes full circle)

anyways, then Gordo decides to stick his head in Neil's head--which Neil tentatively agrees to, and they confirm that yup--Mary is Kayleigh, which makes Neil a witch which means he really should not be able to be a wolf too, but Gordo's theory is that since he didn't know about his powers, he wasn't actively using them--which means he's gonna feel some insane pain when he does use them.

And Neil's like "yeah that checks out"

but then it's time to go hunt Livingstone down, which is a whole thing but most importantly Riko drags poor Jean along, and mans is fucked up from doing two locator spells in like one week but they all go to find Livingstone except that when they do Riko has Jean knock everyone out but Jean barely has the power for it and Neil ends up fighting it off so now it's just Riko, Neil, and Livingstone and Riko's like

"hey look! I brought you all these hoes! come work for me!" and Livingstone is like "You're an idiot" AND THEN!

Stuart!

Mans shows up bc Jean used to much power it was like a fuckin beacon and they came to investigate--cuz OOP! GUESS WHO'S A VERY OLD FAMILY OF HUNTERS!?!!?

Aeeeeyyyyeee Stuuuuu

Anyways, they manage to contain Livingstone, Riko, and Neil--but he recognizes Neil--and then he's like "wait a second" and also realizes Neil's a wolf and he gets pissed--which Livingstone uses to his advantage bc he's like "hey guess what--I know how to cure that :)" and Stuart decides to risk it, so he kills Riko, fakes Neil and Livingstones deaths (aka makes it look like Neil went supersonic to kill Livingstone and save the day) and then zips them across teh border.

Queue Livingstone and Neil trying to buy time and figure out how to escape, at least until Neil actually does manage to escape and Livingstone's like "ok now you're gonna get me out too right?" and he's like "no <3" and ditches his ass.

Then he shows up on the Bennet's front lawn in time to go "I lived bitch" and pass out an dyou know what? Good for him.

Then all the foxes and the wolves team up and threaten Stuart enough that he chills out and also kills Livingstone for them.

So yeah! alkdjfl;asdjf

I think that's all the lose ends?? Riko dies very unremarkably btw, alskjdf;laksdjf Stuart just snaps his neck when he tries to interupt him it's great.

Here's my favorite snippet from the outline doc! (it happens right after Neil gets his tether--and I mean like, right after)

Anyways, Neil can’t sleep though, all he can hear is the heartbeats of everyone in the room and every little sound outside feels like his father coming after him

Eventually he just sits up, thinking about going outside but he doesn’t want to leave everyone else inside

But Andrew’s up and dragging him into the kitchen where he makes himself a mug of cocoa and gets Neil a glass of water

They chat a bit, Neil asks why Andrew was willing to lay down his life in that moment and Andrew says it was because he knew Neil wouldn’t do anything.

Neil is DUMB and obvi goes to touch the scratches on Andrew, which Andrew says no to, so Neil just drops his hand and Andrew’s like “see--right there, that’s why.”

Neil’s like “yeah but while I’m a monster it’s different you fucking pleb” and Andrew’s like “but was it? You barely scratched me.”

He takes out the key and hands it to Andrew, explaining that he can feel how it’s the only rock in the river that is Neil now, and if it goes away or gets destroyed he’ll be swept right down with the current

And then the has the auDACITY to say ‘I want you to keep it’

Andrew gets all agro and like ‘I hate you’ but Neil’s like ‘I don’t think so bitch boy--you like me’

And then they almost kiss but Kevin interrupts them with his five am alarm and Andrew tells Neil he needs to sleep and shoves him down onto the couch. He turns on the tv and sits right by Neil’s head, with his back against the couch and sitting on the floor and Neil sleeps feeling the safest he’s ever felt in his life

The next time he wakes up Andrew’s in the same spot and it’s blindingly bright outside

They all get ushered off to the Bennett house and Neil takes Carter’s advice and decides to allow Gordo to dig around inside his head

SO yeah! Homesong! asjkdf;lkjadsfl;jk sorry this is such a long winded explaination and I'm sorry I'm never goign to finish it askdjf;laskdf;ljkasdflkj I love everyone who loved it!!!!! y'all single-handedly killed me <33

Polly “elizabeth” Shelby x  Fem reader

request: Can you write polly x female reader where she's been in love with the reader for months and the reader gets flirted with a lot by the boys and other men but she loves her back? A little bit drama but a fluffy ending? Polly deserves all the love

word count: 1600

warnings: haha i got a little heated at the end,,,,,,,,,, this is basically well mannered smut and im not sorry

a/n: polly is 17 in this. also i forgot a lot about the specific details of the boy’s early lives so im just goign to make shit up. also in my mind they live a little outside of small heath in this, maybe they move into the main town after the story. also this gave me life to write.

1900

A new town, Elizabeth thought, maybe here we’ll stay here longer. 

She let her feet dangle over the wheels, she watched as they passed by a cluster of small houses and a schoolhouse.

Although she didnt know this at the time, in a few years the fielded landscape she saw rolling by her would be transformed into a sooty, squalid, suburb of birmingham. The grass replaced with hard stone.

But for now the landscape was peaceful enough.

They were moving onto a plot of land owned by her sister-in-law’s family. Most of whom worked in the city. There were also a handful of other Romani families, but they all kept their distances.

Once the camp was set, Elizabeth was charged with going to the schoolhouse and finding herself a place. This was done easily enough, as the teacher was a kindly italian woman who was already expecting her arrival. 

On her was out of the small building, she quite literally ran into a girl of about her own age. 

“Oh! Sorry!” You gasped, making sure the collision caused no harm. “I’m (y/n), you must be new here.”

“I’m Elizabeth, and yes i am. Sorry about that.” She shook your outstretched hand.

“No problem at all!” You assured her.

You peered over her shoulder into the distance where a couple of ornate Romani wagons were set int the field.

“Do you live in those wagons?”

She nodded. “Yes, I’m Romani.”

“Does your whole family live there too?”

“Yes.” She smiled “My parents, brother, his wife, my 3 nephews, but they’re practically as old as me. ‘cept for john, hes only 5. And one niece Ada, she’s 3.”

“Well thats a whole lot more interesting than my family.” You chuckled.

Elizabeth laughed, “I’m not sure interesting is the proper word. But if you like i can introduce you?”

“Oh i would love that!”

You walked side by side down the dirt road that lay adjacent to the large fields. The fields were lined with fences for the livestock, and abutted by a decent forest that stretched  off to the northwest. In the field poppies were blooming.

You exchanged trivial information, and in no time were up close to the circle of wagons. The two elder children and elizabeth’s brother were not there, but she introduced you to her parents and the younger children. Both of whom were exceedingly adorable.

You walked closer to one wagon, the one polly pointed out as hers, and walked around it, your eyes following the carved painted curves of the wood. 

“It’s incredibly beautiful.” You marveled. “i wish my home were as nice to look at.”

~~

You and Elizabeth had gotten on very well. And a few days later you were leading her into the woods, not to far from the houses, to show her your “hiding spot”. 

About 100 yards into the woods, there was a clearing by a small stream where you had built a very small wooden structure. To call it a house would be perhaps too direct for what it was, but it had 4 walls, a nearly waterproof roof, and a small hinged door. 

“This is wonderful!” Elizabeth exclaimed.

“Well its not my best work, but it has been here a long time.” You explained. The inside was again, not much. But there was a small platform with a blanket on it, an oil lamp, and a tin box large enough to hold some pencils, paper, and books.

You led her to the stream where you took off your shoes and let your feet into the clear water.

“This is very strange and there is no particular reason for it,” You started, “but for some reason i want to call you Polly.” 

She smiled, “ok. Then i get to call you odjus.”

You tilted your head, 

“what does that mean?”

“you’ll have to wait and find out.”

You bit your lip, “Ok then polly.”

~~~

A few months past, the May turned into a warm august, with a surprising amount of sun. Polly had acclimated well to the locals, most specifically you, whom she woke every morning in wait to see. 

There was something different about the way she thought of you. Something she felt she oughtn’t be feeling.

But life went on around this. She would walk with you on your way to places, grimacing as you walked past the schoolboys who flirted incessantly with you. She got her share of flirts as well, but those didnt bother her like they did yours.

On these midsummer nights the older children of the settlement would sneak out and have bonfires in the upper fields. Alcohol and dancing, folk songs and ballads. The boys who spent the days in the fields or shoveling coal, spent their nights dancing with their sweethearts or searching one out. 

As the nights progressed, one boy would start a slower, crooning song, and all the dancing would slow to a sway.

As with this night.

You and polly started out the night with a few swigs of whiskey and linked-arm dancing. Your skirts tied up to knee level for ease of movement. The other girls did the same, and the hot summer nights became less oppressive. 

At one point, polly found herself sat alone on a stump with the other spectators. She was watching like a statue at you swaying with a rather handsome farm-boy. She had seen you dance with him before, and tonight, whether  she was fed up or the whiskey had got to her, she couldnt take it.

On one swaying revolution, you saw polly hurry off into the field over your partners shoulder. Concerned, you cut the dance short and ran into the night after her. 

She was running fast so you had to hurry to catch up with her,

“Polly! Wait!” You called after her, the waist-high thin grass whipping your shins.

She slowed to a halt and you caught up. 

“Polly whats wrong?” You urged, breathing heavily.

“Whats wrong?!” She whipped around to face you. You saw she was crying.

“This is whats bloody wrong.”

She rushed forward to you and grabbed your face in her hands, and forcefully put her lips on yours. The world stood still, it felt like a wave crashed over your head and you were drowning in its wake, but oh what a way to die. And then she pulled away.

“Something’s wrong with me.” She sobbed. 

You still made no movement.

“And i love you (y/n), i fucking love you. And it hurts so much to know that this is all just a mistake in my head–”

You cut her off by surging towards her and reconnecting your lips. Instantly her hands went to your hair and you pulled her closer by her shoulders. Each gasp of air was relinquished once more as you dove back in. Every part of you felt tingly. Finally, you got enough air to gasp, 

“i love you too.” And you pressed your forehead against hers.

Polly’s heart felt as though it might burst, the only way to keep the pressure down was the smile on her face and the tears still streaming from here eyes, but this time for joy. You were also weeping.

She grabbed your hand and pulled you off the field and into the woods path, where it led to the small wooden house.

You pushed open the ramshackle door and pulled her inside. Sparing no time to light the small oil lamp in the corner.

You kissed her again, now in the complete seclusion of the woods and the hideout. The only light coming from the glow if the lamp and the warm, summer stars. There was a deeper passion now, less fervent but more needy. She pulled you down to the blanketed ground and kissed you, your lips were on fire. She moved her lips to your neck, slowly edging down to your collar bone. You gasped at the feeling.

Now your were upright again, struggling with the buttons on her bodice as she tried to undo yours. Minutes of frustrated undressing only broken by passionate kisses. Now you were laid bare to her eyes and her to you. You laid her on her back and gazed down at her, her hair undone and softly wreathed around her face. You brought your face back down and between kisses praised her on her beauty. 

She held up her hands and brought you beside her, taking one of your breasts in her mouth as her hand moved down between your legs. Your mouth nestled in the crook of her neck.

It was a symphony, an exploration of each other at new level, every hand caressed a new place in reverence, and your lips both whispering kisses on every patch of skin. You cried out into the night, her following in unison, each time like the call of the nightingale.

When at last you lay at silence in the summer night air. Warm enough even without sun for not a chill to come over both your naked forms. 

Your hands were intertwined, same with your legs, twisted together as if you had become one being. Her deep brown eyes flickered over your face, a lock of her hair rested on her cheek.

“odjus.” She whispered.

You smiled at the name that called your heart. You let your eyelids grow heavy, and looking up at her through hooded eyes, you asked,

“what does it mean?”

She let your eyes close and her own fell as well. And with a voice like the hush of rain, she said

“beautiful.”

i think im goign 2 lay down and pass away now

[prcttylittlethings-a]

✵ + madley

send me a  ✵ christmas meme | ask

who spends hours putting up lights only to get tangled in them and storm off?

lainey. 100%. joey would sit there and watch her do it and laugh the entire time while drinking very strong eggnog. that lainey probably made.

who accidentally eats a whole box of christmas chocolates in one sitting?

joey. lainey just bakes SO MUCH around the holidays so there’s cookies and cakes and cupcakes and candy and if lainey puts it in front of joey it’s going to be gone by the time she comes back. joey has only so much willpower. 

who insists on watching the cheesey hallmark christmas movies?

lainey. joey will complain about it but she’s secretly a romantic and loves them and wonders if she has to worry about someone coming and taking lainey away from her because she’s always so busy with work around the holiday season ( and always, but whatever ) 

who insists on playing nothing but michael buble in the few days running up to christmas?

both of them. joey won’t put it on if other people are around but like, she gets it, okay? he has a nice voice ! leave me ALONE lainey i am a RADIO PERSONALITY i have TO HAVE ECLECTIC TASTES !!!!

who gets their presents wrapped at the mall so the other cant go snooping

joey has absolutely no idea how to wrap a present so she needs to get them wrapped at the mall just so that they look decent. 

who insists on making snow angels?

when they go back home, it’s usually joey’s excuse to Not Be With Mrs. Ripley, Lainey She Scares Me. but when they’re kids it’s usually lainey’s idea because she already thinks of joey as her own guardian angel so its proof !!! see joey !!! you can be an angel !!!! ( joey immediately destroys something to keep her Bad Girl Image Going ) 

who put christmas outfits on all the pets?

joey. if anyone asks, she blames lainey for it. but joey’s 100% the one who does it and she also has unique voices for their pets so that she can hold whole conversations while she does it. lainey has recorded it and threatens to put it on the internet. 

Do they go to family’s or have a quiet day in?

the maddox family doesn’t usually do a big thing, so joey never feels like they have to visit her fam, but mrs. ripley does demand lainey every so often and joey Hates it. she likes it better when they’re in california and they can have a quiet christmas to themselves watching cheesy movies and eating their weight in baked goods because if she has to deal with mrs. ripley staring at her one more time she’s goign to TEAR OFF HER OWN SKIN, LAINEY. 

who insists on wearing matching ugly christmas jumpers?

both of them. lainey probably picks them out for them but joey demands they wear them with pride. she absolutely loves looking like a dumbass it’s her leading brand. 

Who waits up until midnight to give the other their present?

joey can not wait. she does all her shopping last minute because she is incapable of keeping secrets from lainey so if she goes on december 23rd she doesnt HAVE to keep it from lainey for very long. lainey thinks its cute. 

Who insists on hand-made presents only one year?

lainey, which goes disastrously bad. joey can pick out jewelry or clothes or entertainment things but making things ??? lainey, her talent is her voices do you want her to do the voices christmas morning ?? in the end joey makes her a mix tape ( an honest to god cassette tape ) as a ‘radio show’ for her which lainey listens to when one of them has to travel somewhere without the other

Who puts mistletoe on every door frame?

lainey ! and she demands joey kiss her every time they pass under one. joey rolls her eyes but does it anyways. 

Who gets too drunk at the work christmas party and has to be picked up at 9:15pm?

lainey does not know how to hold her liquor. joey’s a pro - she’s had to drink at work events for years, so she knows just how drunk to get to make it fun without going overboard. lainey has not figured out that the drinks are not watered down and after a couple christmas drinks, she’s down for the count and joey has to carry her home. 

who gets angry and almost tells kids that santa isnt real?

lmao. lainey. they’d adopt like, a 6 or 7 year old who already has this idea of santa but is always disappointed so joey’s like lET’S GO ALL OUT FOR THEm and lainey’s just ‘if i have to put from ‘santa’ on one more present this is bullshit’. joey is the one who does ruin it though because she dresses up as santa one year and her beard falls off. very life ruining.
