#i don't need more sweets i just got some from the food bank but i want to make it to share with him bc his favorite

[iturmom]

bread

i made some english muffins with my sourdough start bc my partner likes them and i asked him to specifically request a kind of bread and he didn't so i made emglish muffins. haven't baked them yet but. the second time rolling out the dough was insane like this is a whole different playing field from biscuits. biscuits you can roll out thrice. but the second time rolling out this dough was like too far. they rose a lot like biscuits, so i just decided to bake the second batch with my pathetic bread rolls (under cut 😘) and they turned out so delightful! not rlly sure what to compare them to but they're so good! which is great bc the recipe i used yielded at least twice as much as i expected so i'll get to eat these up for myself!

they're so sad idk what happened usually my buns turn out beautiful! i realized too late that i should have just re-kneaded them and that would have saved me heating up my apartment even more when it's already hot outside but idk how to explain that i am so fucking stupid. anyway i think i might need to give up on bread bc my loaves are just getting worse and worse as i practice and now my buns are even starting to suffer 😭 but everything else i make turns out perfect! the bread is so pathetic tho 😢

i really just wanted the starter for sweets anyway.

i do miss my mimi's sourdough tho......... 🥺

Momo x M Reader

You're a struggling young adult, you got a job that doesn't even suffice for your needs. One day a business man came to your house and offered you a deal that you can't say no to.

Includes: Rape role play

" Fuck my life, my work at the convenient store only pays me enough for my food and rent. I don't even have some extra money to have some fun, bro " you said on the phone.

" Man, maybe if you followed your mom to the States maybe your life would be better "

" Fuck her too, since my dad died she got a new partner and left me. Yes I decided not to go to the States with her because I don't like her having another man " you answered.

" Some luck will surely come for you, don't give up " your friend answered.

*knock knock knock

" Thanks bro, someone is at the door. So bye now "

You walked out of your bed and opened the door of your apartment. A man in a suit suddenly asked if he may come in. You're skeptical at first but what can he get from you if he robbed your house? Nothing, so you let him in and closed the door.

" Please sit down sir, I can only offer you water sorry " you said.

" Don't bother this talk will be short and you can't say no to this "

-The next day came-

*beep beep

A truck pulled over in front of your apartment and brought a big wooden box inside your apartment.

" here's your package sir, we just need you to sign up here "

You signed the paperwork and they left. You opened the box and you lifted a doll wearing white top and white shorts. The man yesterday offered you half a million dollars to try out their sex dolls. They are made with artificial materials similar to silicone but the texture is much more improved and it simulates human skin and flesh. Only 10 of these are contributed around the world. They examined their test runners carefully so that they will not be caught by the law, as their production is illegal. They prefer not so prominent people. But in exchange you have to give up your current job. You accepted and they gave you half the money straight to your bank before leaving.

" Hell, this doll is crazy beautiful. Do I really get to have sex with this? "

You opened the instructions, it said that it needed to be charged but it was delivered full of battery. It said that it has voice control you just need to say " Momo " before the command. The instructions said " Say, Momo, open to activate"

" Momo, Open " you said.

" Good morning master "

" Wwwwoooo " you shouted.

You were shocked that it said a word and also moved like a person towards you. The doll puts its arms on your shoulders.

" You can command me anything , master"

" Call me, Momo " she added.

" Momo, stand still "

Momo stood there and her arms returned to neutral. You're still shocked at this point, you pressed her shoulder and grabbed one of her boobs and it feels just like a real human. On this point you're aroused, you begin sniffing its shoulders and her scent is as sweet as a flower. It's been so long since you did this to a woman and it made you more excited.

You started kissing her neck while groping her ass and boobs. But something is missing.

" Momo, you can move now and moan for me " you commanded.

Momo hugged your neck and her other arm is caressing your face. She also closed the gap between her waist and yours to grind your bulge into her shorts.

" Ugh, master that feels so good "

" Call me Y/N " you said

"yess Y/N, does Momo taste good? "

" Yes Momo, you're so fucking good " you answered.

Her lips are so plump and cute that you decided to take a taste. You slammed your mouth into hers and sloppily kissed Momo. Momo does have some automated actions when taking part in sex activity. It is stated in the manual. She started caressing your bulge and she also kissed your neck. As she does so you removed your pants and underwear.

" Momo, suck my cock. Suck it good "

You lead her to the bedroom and you sit on the bed. She spits on your throbbing cock and licks it wildly before taking it all in her mouth.

" UGHH " you moaned as she does a fellatio on your hard long cock.

" Yes take it like a good girl "

" mmhgh, mmh, mmh " moans are escaping through her mouth.

She is looking at you all this time, and you started pounding her throat but she takes it like nothing.

*golk golk golk golk

You started to forget that she's a doll and thinks of her as a woman that you can fuck all you want.

" Fuck! What a slut taking it all like nothing "

Momo smiled as you dumped all your cum inside her throat. Momo stood up and sat on you as she kissed you deep.

" Ughh, can you go again Y/N? Momo need a rough fucking "

" Of course, but now call me baby "

" Yes baby " she answered.

You pushed her into the bed as you planted your tongue into her mouth. You made out and you began removing her top off, revealing a good set of tits with pink nipples. You sucked the hell out of the good pair and Momo hugged your neck.

" Yes baby suck my tits good, ugh "

You moved down and removed her shorts and underwear revealing a pinkish red slit.

" Fuck what a good food "

You fucking ate her pussy good, she wrapped her legs to your neck and held your head with her palm.

" Ughhh, babyyy you eat pussy so good "

" Suck my clitoris right there "

You sucked and played with it with your mouth and she began shaking violently. She squirted on your face as she shakes.

" UGHHHHH " she shouted.

" Sorry baby I ended up squirting on your face because you're so good at eating pussy"

You did not answer and you just inserted your dick inside her pussy. Momo can adjust her insides depending on the dick of the user, ensuring the best pleasure. You fucked her like a wild animal as you're too horny from her squirting on your face.

" Ughh baby, you'll make me cum again " she whined.

" Here's your reward for squirting at my face slut "

" Yes baby I'm your only slut, fuck this pussy harder ughh "

Her face is so seductive and it shows how good she feels. You felt more pleasure as her pussy adjusted on your dick. She started licking your nipples adding pleasure while you ram her.

" Baby fill me up with your cum, make a baby with me "

You forgot that she can also detect if the user is cumming so her pussy started to grip your dick harder.

" Fuckk here's my cum you slut " you pulled out your dick and you came into her face.

" Here's my revenge " you added.

She took the cum with her finger and licked it while looking at you.

" Ugh baby, I said you should fill me up but it's alright your cum tastes good "

" Oh I'm not done " you said.

You positioned her near the edge of the bed while in a supine position exposing her chest and toned abs.

" Momo, open your mouth and show me your tongue"

As she does so, you aligned your dick to her mouth and fucked her throat like there's no tomorrow. You grabbed both her tits as your leverage, you spit on her nipples and played with it with your finger. Momo reached down her pussy and started fingering.

"You're a naughty little slut, are you Momo? "

She responded with wild moans as you grope and played with her boobs while destroying her throat. She uses her 2 fingers to fuck her pussy with the other arm played with her clitoris. The scene made you wanna cum so bad.

" Here's my cum, take it Momo "

You grabbed her waist and planted your dick deep into her throat. Momo came again and this time she squirted into your bed. You grabbed her by the neck and pushed her head towards the wet part of the bed. Her ass is now exposed as her waist is bent down.

" Lick your piss you slut, taste it "

Momo started licking the bed sheets. As she makes out with the bed sheet passionately you inserted your dick again and started pumping inside her pussy.

" mmmmhhh ,mmhhh, " she moaned pleasurably as you pushed her more to the bed that muffled her cries.

You suddenly grabbed her hair and pulled it causing her to squeal. Your other hand grabbed her by the neck and choked her as hard as you could. Her moans are replaced by cries for aid to breath. Momo can't feel pain but she'll stimulate the effects of such inflicted pain on her. She tears and her tongue is exposed now. As you're finishing you let go of her neck causing her to lay her head flat on the we sheets and breath for air as you shoot your cum inside her. You looked at her as she is like a poor girl licking the bed sheets.

You finished by unloading the cum inside her tank and cleaning her. You cleaned your room and an idea came to your mind.

Her wardrobe included in her box has many types of dress and styles to pick. And it also has many hair styles included. You charged her for the rest of the day and woke her up at night.

" What, where am I and who are you? " Momo asked.

Before this happened you told her to dress up like a nerdy school girl that knows nothing about how he ended up inside your house. You always thought that your rape kink is weird but now you get to try it. You told her to fight back in the start and slowly be submissive as the time went by.

" Oh you suddenly went inside here and you're not going to get out " you said.

" Oh sorry, I'm heading out now " she answered.

You pulled her arm. Her scaredness is very evident as she is shaking and her voice.

" Sorry sorry, please let me out "

You threw her bag to the side and grabbed both her wrist, pushed her to the wall and started kissing her neck aggressively.

She started crying and struggled from your body weight as you push your body towards her.

" Please stopp, I need to go home now " her voice trembles.

You ignored her pleas and started groping her chest. Her arm attempted to push you back but you're just too overwhelming.

" Your chest is so big for a high schooler like you, don't you think? "

You palmed her mouth forcing her into a kiss. She hits you with her hands while your tongue slides inside her mouth and you start sucking her tongue out. Her hands stopped hitting your chest and it rests on your shoulders now. She unconsciously fought back with your mouth and tongue movements. Your fingers wiped off some of her tears as you're making out. The student's crying eyes shut down as her body gave in to your seduction. Her hands caress your body as you grope her breasts more . You gently move towards the bed pulling her and pushing her down to kneel at the floor. You dropped your shorts down and you placed her hand on your dick. Her cries became gazes of lust as she stroked your shaft. You held her face and moved it closer to your dick causing her to suck on it like a lollipop. Her blowjob is sloppy as she simulates a student who doesn't do such things. She is a modest student who just sucked a dick right now.

" Yes just suck it like that "

" mmhhh mhhh mh " her moans escapes out of her mouth.

You removed her glasses.

" Look at me " you asserted.

She looked at you with lustful eyes.

" Do you want me to fuck you? "

She shook her head signalling a " no " .

You slapped her hard into the face that caused her to shout and cry on the floor. You pulled her hair hard and she is begging you to stop.

" please stop, I gave you a blowjob already "

You pushed her into the bed face down and you removed her underwear. You don't want to remove her uniform as the visual contributes to your pleasure. You started fucking her from behind. Her back is arced and her arms pinched the bed so hard as you ram her back.

" Ughh please , I'm hurting " she pleaded .

" You don't have to pretend to be a little girl, you like this don't you? "

" Argghh, no ! " She answered.

" Then why did your ass follow my rhythm and start pumping as well? Look at your exposed tongue as you enjoys being raped "

" No I don't like it " she said while smiling seductively.

You switched position and you removed half of her buttons, revealing her bra and her shoulders. You fucked her missionary as moans came out both of your mouths. Momo plays her tits as you pound her and she accepted your follow wet kisses as you fuck each other.

" Is my cock that delicious ? "

" Yesss ugh, I mean no "

" You don't have to hide it anymore baby girl "

" No it's just that your cock is so huge that it makes me crazy " she said while holding your face with both her arms.

She pulled you into a deep kiss.

" Yesss I'm cumming, keep fucking my pussy like that please "

" I'm cumming inside you "

" YESS please fill my young pussy with your cum "

You came hard into her pussy and both of you moaned in unison. After a short break, you ordered her to suck your dick as you play video games. Before going to bed you charged her and ordered her to wake you up with kisses on your cheeks and a good ol' handjob.

This sex doll is now yours provided that you submit transparent and honest reports to the company each week. She's only programmed for sex activities if not so, you could have asked her to cook for you haha. She's indeed programmed well.

If you're the one that the company picked to be one of the product testers, what burglar things will you do to Momo?

Alright all your Cove and Baxter anguish has me FUCKED UP and I need some adorable Cove fluff to recover. How about a little about Cove and M/C as newlyweds coming home after the honeymoon?

at first i didnt know what to write but then i start thinking n.... pls i love this sm i hope it heals your broken heart <3333

tags : Fluff, cove loves you sm, sharing money (cove shares his money/bank acc w you), he's just in love w you theres nothing else to say

synopsis : how cove acts after your come back from your honeymoon

he's bringing you flowers everyday

at first he brings you a couple bouquets but you've run out of places for them so he just brings you one and add them to your collection.

none of them are the same either

so you have sunflowers, lilies, roses, tulips, peonies, orchids, and many many flowers all in one vase

is it a little ugly? probably. definitely. the colors and sizes n shapes all clash but it's the thought that counts

if you don't like flowers, are allergic, or you get tired of him bring so many...

he brings you food <3

I think one of cove's love languages is food

he brings home sweets like cheese cake or marbled cake

or fudge, or chocolates

or if you aren't into sweets like that, then he'll bring lunch/dinner instead

he's a decent cook, and even if you're bad at cooking he wants you to help him

lots of kissing n half burnt food (he takes whatever portion is burnt so you don't have to eat it)

and he tries to always bring u lunch

if he can't bring you lunch for whatever reason, he either packs one for you or sends you money for lunch

COVE: hi bby, have you eaten yet YOU: im ordering food rn COVE: i sent u 50 is that enough YOU: ?!*!&!(!? YOU: that's too much 😭😭 cove pls YOU: ill send the rest back COVE: keep ot COVE: it* COVE: my money is your money

he does this all the time now, in fact he'll even had you his card

which he's always done before your marriage, but now ge even gets you a card connected to his bank account too

he doesn't even care if you share your money w him too, he just wants to give you everything he has

like if you asked for his shirt in the middle of the store I think he'd ask why n then just give it to you

as if he was gonna say no in the first place 🙄💀💀

he just becomes so much more obsessed w you after you're married

always cuddling or touching u

if you're around your mom's they're always cracking jokes....

especially if you want kids they're all "we're gonna be grandparents soon at this rate lol" (even if u want to adopt or dont wanna birth/can't have kids bc you're amab or infertile or smth)

they just think they're so hilarious 🙄🙄🙄

does he blush bright enough there's steam coming off him? maybe

does he stop? nope!!!

loves you so much, he just needs to be close to you

HAS A PICTURE OF U IN HIS WALLET

omg....

prbly has 2 actually

one is of the two of you bc sometimes he can't believe you're married n he just needs to make sure life is real

n one is of just you in your wedding attire

will talk abt you to anyone who asks or makes a comment

this mf would prbly get a shirt that says "y/n's husband" on the front

even tho it's in small print on the front it's embarrassing.... like pls we get it you're in LOVE

he'd get you both jewelry w your wedding date on it

will hold you up at the door if you try to leave without kissing him

you've always gave him a peck before leaving but now it's WORSE

once he even stopped you in the driveway before you pulled off...

man's ran out of the fucking house in socks and unicorn print sweatpants

you roll down the window "what? what's wrong?!" cove, leaning thru the window and pouting. "kiss."

you look at him in shock n disbelief before you just laugh and kiss him

he taxes you two extra kisses for the trouble, he got his socks wet from running out here!!!

you have to push him off otherwise you're gonna be late to work bc you were too busy making out in your driveway

your single/divorced neighbors hate you

the teens idolize what yall have n their standards got so fucking high after yall moved in

n the old ppl laugh bc they've been there when they married and/or they find it amazing how obsessed cove is w you

if it wasn't such a bad omen or if you didn't disapprove, he'd get your wedding date or your initials tatted on his ankle.

maybe it seems extreme all of this bc I think cove just realizes how amazing you are sometimes n all his love overflows in this way <3333

no matter how old you get he's always gonna run out in the rain, snow, or sunshine n get a kiss if you forget

pfx by the time he's 80 he can't move as fast but he's hustling down the path before you can escape

if you do get away before he can get a kiss though, he is pouting when you come back

Lotta True Crime

Summary: A blurb in which Steven comes home from work and finds you watching/listening to a true crime documentary, again.��

Warnings: I don't talk about anyone specific but the Y/N is listening to a docu about a serial killer. There isn't any actual mention of murder in full detail but it is there, so be warned of that. But overall this is actually domestic as hell and wholesome.  

Author’s Snip: I'm a true crime nut and I often wonder what my various fictional boytoys would think about it I sort of fixated on Steven for a while which led to this. I feel like he'd be slightly off-put by it but would get used to it at some point. Also, the idea of him and his true crime-loving partner just info-dumping about their interests is just so funny and cute.

I’ll shut up now. Enjoy! And don’t be afraid to request.

It sounds a lot like what you would hear a husband back in the 1950s answer if you asked him what his favorite part of the day was. But it was Steven's honest answer. He loved coming home after a long day at work and seeing you preparing dinner. There was something so domestic about it that he absolutely loved. Of course, he'd usually come in and help you make dinner instead of lounging around, just so that you two can have a nice moment as a couple.

There was one thing that always stuck out from the whole coming home to the partner cooking dinner daydream though.

The stuff you usually had playing in the background.

"-I mean. It was complete madness. All these people started digging at this dumping ground and they found so many bodies in different stages of decay. It took a few days simply because of how many they were finding, you know? You would be digging up one you just found and then you find a part from another and then you'd have to dig up that one, and so on." the voice on the TV explained as Steven locked the flat's door behind him and hung up all his things.

"What made it worse was that there were more. His accomplice said that he had admitted that he had more victims at another dumping site but he never said where that was before he died. So there are more somewhere out there and we don't know where they are." the voice added.

Steven wants to be surprised that there's a true crime documentary playing on the TV while you were happily cooking dinner, and yeah sure the details are especially gruesome from what he's hearing, but this isn't the first time. This is a normal occurrence, actually, and Steven's just learned to roll with it. Even if one time he came home and the TV had an episode of a show that talked about murders in relationships that talked about how a wife poisoned her husband via lacing his food with something, and you were making one of Steven's favorite meals.

He crosses the flat to you in the kitchen, wrapping his arms around you from behind and looking over what you were doing. "It looks like it's coming along nicely." he comments before he kisses you on the cheek. "Thanks," you replay, "I found it in a little recipe note and wanted to test it out." you explain. "Do you want any help?" Steven asks drawing away a little.

"No. I've got everything covered so far. Some stuff needs to sit for a bit. Maybe then I'll need some help." you tell him while also turning your head towards him.

A soft stare ensues between the two of you. You both bask in the nice feeling of being close to each other and having a sweet and domestic moment.

"It was believed that this body found drifting in the river was actually a victim, whose body was washed out of its grave from the heavy storms and rainwater that flooded the bank, since the accomplice said that the old dumping site was along the river. However, no one knows how far the body floated downstream, so they wouldn't know exactly where the site was along the river." a narrating voice said from the TV, soiling the moment.

You blush at the interruption, "You can change that if you want. I've heard of this case before anyway.".

Steven chuckles a little bit. "I don't really mind, love," he says. "You did overhear that one time I was watching a documentary and it went into heavy detail about the Egyptian embalming process." he recalls. "So what if I hear about some old killer's body count and possible dumping spots." Steven concludes.

"It's your version of what Egypt is to me. So how am I to judge." Steven adds.

As per request of @tired-jaz here's some dabi fluff for the touya fans 😈 This is purely fluff but here's a lil quick disclaimer ⚠️ jaz this isn't totally what you asked for but Its still fluff and got some pretty sweet stuff in it 😭(pun intended) HOPE YALL ENJOY‼️

NOT AS SWEET

AS YOU (dabi x reader)

DAY ONE ☎️

"3 months, THREE WHOLE MONTHS NAKI. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I havent felt the touch of aan, MY MAN, in three whole months", you scream into the phone, not caring the damage youve dealt to your sisters eardrums.

"Y/N" she screams back.

"Yes..." you retorted sheepishly with a slight ansgt.

"Isnt he coming bacm in like what? 3 DAYS?? I hate to break it to you gurl, BUT PLEASE, calm down, I get it but he'll be there soon."

"BUT"

"NO. NO BUTS. What happened to the logical and rational you i know? The one dabi fell in love with? Youll have him all to yourself in no time. I know its hard, especially cause you haven't been able to talk to him either, but honey please. Hell be there alright. ALRIGHT?"

you sigh, "I'll calm down. You're right I guess, don't wanna embarrass myself in front of him after 3 months..." you breathe out staring at your feet face reddening at the thought of your desperate actions. "I just miss him, a lot."

"Y/n...I get it, i really do, and i hate to do this right now, but i have to go, if you need anything youll tell me right?"

"Yeah yeah you know I will", you respond rolling your eyes simultaneously.

"REMEMBER" the sudden loud tone sending you to jump up, "3 DAYS THEN HES ALL YOURS. BYE BYE!" she acreams ending the call with a kissy sound.

Your hand drops down, looking at the caller ID

"I know" you wisper to yourself.

DAY TWO 💤

Grogginess? She practically your bestfriend you think rolling over to the other aide of your bed, arm slewn over your back orher cupping the side of the pillow youve found yourself clutching for dear life to the past couple of months.

"Dabi..." you whisper, eyes squeezing shut trying to imagine his face again as you bury your face into the pillow

"please come home" is the last thing your pillow hears before you pass out on top of it wishing it was him you were on top of instead.

Nothing could quite distract you from his absence like sleeping your life away.

DAY THREE 🍰

Anxiety was eating you alive like you were the twilight saga and a book worm was having a feild day.

"Nothing has changed between us right?" you thought. "Right?" you repeat to yourself, a sickening smile creeping on your face with tears pricked in the corners of your eyes.

"NO" you yell sitting up to hang of your bed.

"I WILL NOT BE SAD. I REFUSE. ONE MORE DAY

"Y/N. YOU GOT THIS! I GOT THIS? I GOT THIS." you chant storming to your kitchen. Given the ungodly amount of sleep you got yesterday, you hadnt eaten barely anything but leftover cookies and some milk.

"OH. MY. GOD." you aggravatingly sighed out

"I'M SO DAMN HUNGRY" followed by a whine as the refridgerator swining open, and then the realization hit you, you wouldn't be surprised if dust and a moth flew out with the door.

"DAMN INGREDIENT HOUSEHOLD WHAT THE HELL" you yell falling to your knees while slamming the fridge shut, followed by a bang on the door with your fist.

Your head soon met the door as well with your begging you from 2 weeks ago to stop the decision of purely doordashing food to your front door while dabi was gone, leaving you broke as hell. Checking your bank account wasn't any better than the fridge, but in optimism you tell yourself, if theres one thing an ingredient household will get you, its crazy amazing dessert recipes made out of practically thin air.

-skip to later that night-

"Holy shit-" you breathe out

"Holy fucking shit, so. much. dessert. So many... everything?" you question scanning your kitchen surroundings, brownies, cookies, Tres Leches, cookie dough, instant jello, popsicles?

"How in the actual hell...did i make...popsicles..."

you whisper before collapsing of exhaustion.

Slowly picking up your phone to check the time, you read 2:45 a.m.

Following is a look of worry, exhaustion, and confusion as you pass out on the kitchen floor.

DAY FOUR - DABI'S COMING HOME

My keys slowy make their way into the key hole, first sturggling due to my franticness to see her. My girl.

"y/n" I whisper out getting frustrated that the key keeps getting stuck.

"Dammit!' i whisper yell as the door finnalg flys open crashing against the wall behind it.

"What the hell? Why does it smell like...HUH?"

He screeches feasting his eyes on the copious piles of desserts covering every kitchen surface.

"What the hell..." he whispers, barely taking the time to notice you crashed out on the kitchen floor.

"Y/n..." he whispers leaning down to you, a look of pity and concern stretching across his otherwise emotionless face.

"baby..." is the last thing he says before reaching behind your neck and waist to hoist you up into his arms.

A feeling of warmth overcomes your body, a feeling of comfort, one you cant quit explain while wrapped up in your Candy Land like dream, one where you of all people were a diety of dessert. Slowly coming back to consciousness you hear the words of your lover...

"baby" you feel whispered against your ear, the familar voice sending shocks through your body.

No matter the lack of sleep and energy spent on your Master Chef Desserts you shot up clinging to dabi like it was the last time.

"DABI" you screeched into his ear as he pulls you in closer.

He presses a kiss to your ear, "hey princess, missed you baby" he says pressing a second one right after the other.

The feeling practically melts you, nothing beats some sweet love from your lover, especially the physical lind.

"Dabi" you sigh

"Yes princess?"

"Kiss me again?"

"Hm?"

You grab his collar pulling his face for his eyes to look into yours.

"KISS ME" you growl locking his eyes with yours noticing the sly smirk spreading across his beautiful face.

"Alright alright, i heard you the first time" he chuckles cupping your cheek and pulling your waist flush against his stomach.

"Since you ask so nicely..." he teases bringing your face close to his.

You can't explain it, maybe its the lack of him you've experienced the past three months or his overall deamenor but its like you cant think anymore. Everythings fuzzy, your nose filled with the smell of the previously baked sweets mixed with the ash and cigarette smell on his collar. You lose complete control melting into his hands, making him work to keep your body up as his lips meet yours. You make note of the gentleness he's displaying, something not often seen, even behind closed doors. It doesn't feel like hes going to give you the night of your life, or like hes about to do whataver he wants to you, he feels like he's about to hold you until the sun comes up, bury his head in your neck, lay you on his chest kissing your head, whispering sweet nothings like

"you're so beautiful baby..."

or

"i missed you so much" followed by his nose burrowing in your hair.

'you miss me too pretty girl?"

maybe a

"Im here its alright princess..."

or maybe

"you need anything baby?"

its almost out of charcter for him, but somethings changed, the way he holds you, something happened. He holds you now like hes actaully scared to lose you. His kiss isn't filled with lust, but love, pure innocent love, one you've never felt, you think leaning more into the kiss slowly making your backs way down to the floor.

His lips press deeper into yours, never wanting to leave but nevertheless he pulls away leaning over your frozen body beneath him.

"Baby" he whispers moving your face so his eyes meet his, given you were hiding it out of embarrassment.

"Yes..." you wisper back peering up into his beautiful eyes, taking note of the difference in his stare. He holds there for awhile, staring into your eyes, searching in them like he'll find something, still holding your face lovingly.

Your left hand comes to meet his hand on your face cupping over it shooting him a small smile.

"Dabi? "

"Hm?" he hums back seeming to come back to reality.

"S-sorry" he stutters a bit, a like shade of pink running across his cheecks.

Your smile never leaves as you bring your other hand up to meet his face, pulling it down to your head to rest his forehead against yours.

"I love you" you whisper.

"Hm..." he hums with a slight chuckle sending a look of horror to your face. His laugh grows as he puts more pressure against your foreheads.

"I'm just teasing baby" he says moving his mouth to kiss your forehead as he pulls you up to sit with him, pulling his hand of your cheek to allow more balance on the way up.

"Just teasing" he repeats moving to kiss your cheek allowing another small smile to come up on your face as his hand meets your face again. He follows with small kisses peppering across your cheeks, forehead, nose, jaw line, and even some daring to your neck. All that's heard throughout your shared apartment is small giggles and the sound of his lips coming off of your skin.

"Hey princess" he says looking for some focus as he comes up to cup both your cheeks.

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Your face goes an ungodly red.

"Hm?" you question, face blank, leaving him to chuckle to himself.

"I love you baby" he repeats giving you a warm smile leaning his forhead bacm against yours.

"I..." you smile back... "I love you too dabi" you whisper allowing his lips to come back to yours for one final kiss before your mouths are otherwise occupied scarfing down the pile of treats waiting for you on the counter.

"Pretty sweet huh?" you tease bumping your hips into his.

"Not as sweet as you baby" he replies a sweet smile spreading on both your faces as you match each other's gaze.

I hope this isn't a weird or too random question (and if it is, feel free to ignore ofc!) but I was wondering if you had any advice for someone thinking of writing full-time? The obvious question is, of course, can one make a living from it even if they're not like Stephen King or GRR Martin or something? Do you have any tips from your experience that you would have found helpful when first starting out? <3

Hi, sweet anon! Not weird at all. I'm happy to chime in with some (long) thoughts.

Firstly, yes! Authors can make a full-time living from writing even if they're not GRRM &c. I know a number of full-timers, and some of them aren't even NYT bestsellers.

As a caveat, I know very little about the indie/self-publishing space, so the following is based on my experience in traditional publishing.

I spent around 2-3 years writing books full-time. I no longer do that, and don't plan to return to it unless I have a big commercial breakout. It was just a never-ending parade of financial stress. It's hard even to give "tips" because so much is out of your control -- but if you're considering trying to write full time, you should definitely know what you're signing up for.

Here's an average situation for a non-bestseller trying to full-time it:

Let's say you've published two books, and your third is on the way (awesome!). For your first two novels, you got advances of $40,000, but maybe they've only sold 15k copies apiece -- not enough to "earn out" your advance and start making new money. So, you're not making a cent off your older books. Probably won't for years.

Let's say your book 3 is supposed to publish in June 2025, and it sold for more than your last books: $75,000. Pretty good! Advances are usually divided into thirds these days: 1/3 on contract signing, 1/3 on delivery of the fully edited manuscript (D&A), and 1/3 on publication. So that makes a $50,000 salary this year, yes?

Kind of. Right off the bat, your agent gets 15%, so that would make a $42,500 salary. A little tighter, but still seems doable. Also, you need to make estimated tax payments to the IRS. So, let's ballpark your taxes at $7,000, state and federal, which you'll pay in installments throughout the year.

Contract negotiations take a few months as usual, and let's say in April, you get the first payment: your first $21,250. Nice.

Unfortunately, your editor's swamped, and 2 months go by before they send you edits. When you get the letter in June, you're like -- shit, this is a more extensive revision than I thought. You start rehauling the novel, but after your month-long deadline passes, it's still not right. You take another six weeks before you're happy. It's now September.

Suddenly money is very tight. You got $21,250 in April, but since then you've paid $5,250 in estimated taxes, and every month you pay $2,250 in rent, health insurance, and food. You were supposed to have your second payment already, because the contract's estimated D&A date said September. But you still need to do line edits. You now have $2,500 in the bank. You are very aware that this will last a little over a month.

Your editor gets back after a few weeks, having loved your revision, and has sent you line edits. Thank God she didn't want a second round of bigger edits. But it's now October. You rush through the line edits, turn them in after a single jam-packed week. You have $250 in the bank. Your D&A payment is now due.

A week goes by. Where is the payment? You email your agent. She badgers the publisher. They say the payment will be sent through in a pay run next week, so after agency processing, it'll be with you in early November.

You have $75 in the bank. You start putting everything on your credit cards. Then your utility company makes a direct withdrawal from your checking account. You wake up to an overdraft notice and zero dollars in your account. Holy shit, you think, why did I choose this career. November hits. You are late on rent. Maybe you should start drawing from your retirement account, which you put $5,000 into, one time, three years ago?

When your payment arrives, you're not happy so much as ready to cry with relief. You start paying off your cards and sending late, embarrassed Venmos to your friends. You can finally stop declining invites to hang out because you have no money.

And by then it's November, and you're realizing that you really need to be thinking about your next book. If you were working smart, you got a jump on it earlier in the year, when your editor was late with your edit letter. Let's say you wrote an entire first draft back then, between January and June. (Which, to be clear, IS fast for a novel, do not believe the ridiculous standards of writing speed you see online.) If you now take six months to mold that first draft into actual art, then send it to your agent next May, and she wants changes, and you submit in July, and it sells after an average couple months on submission, you won't get your next contract payment until January, 2026.

ARE YOU ANXIOUS YET?

The above scenario is ordinary. An editor having a delay on an edit letter for a month or two, or an author getting stuck and running over deadline for a month -- that stuff is barely worth commenting on.

And there are all sorts of other bumps in the road. Let's say the publisher has turnover in the contracts department. Immediately, that'll be a delay on your signing payment. I've waited 6 months for a contract payment before. I've waited months for a simple email reply from an editor because the company was going through layoffs.

Add more people into the process, and it gets slower. Are you working on IP, let's say a novelization of a TV property? That team might take months to get back to you even on your proposed outline. Working with a freelancer or cowriter? Add weeks or months to every step. In publishing, you spend half your life waiting. You know what doesn't wait? Rent, taxes, and health insurance.

Anon, this is the shoestring, desperate kind of full-time author existence. If you're doing a little better -- still midlist, but better -- you might have earned out one or more of your backlist titles. That means you'll get additional royalties twice a year, usually April and October. That will help.

Or maybe you're a super-fast writer who's always, always juggling multiple contracts and shooting drafts in and out of your door. That's a decent way to make a healthy living as a full-time author, but you'll need to complete multiple books a year, for sure.

This is why I have a survival job half the week that pays my rent. The stress is still there, but it's less frequent and less intense. Honestly, given my sales figures, which are (checks notes) bad, I'm lucky to get to keep doing this after five novels. Because the biggest looming threat is that if you don't break out, editors will start shutting the door immediately because of your lack of established audience.

The only really reliable way to pay your bills is to break out. Then if your editor leaves your publishing house, and you get reassigned, and that pads 3 months onto the editing process, or whatever, it doesn't matter. You'll have actual, substantial royalty payments twice a year. Your advances will always be over six figures. You can live a normal life where you're not staring into the murky distance, wondering when some payment is going to soar out of the night and into your terrible bank account.

Or ... you can just get a day job. And you will get paid biweekly, reliably, on SPECIFIC DATES!!!, forever. When I tell you this shit was life-changing for me. Good God.

Obviously the biggest problem in this whole post is the bit where I wrote "every month you pay $2,250 in rent, insurance, and food," and worried if I was, in fact, lowballing that amount. What a broken world!

Anyway. Best of luck with the writing, anon -- no matter what your experiences in or around the industry, I hope the work itself continues to feed your soul.

that one grilled cheese post got me thinkin about how a lot of people just make instant ramen as it is without adding much to it and I wanna point out that the key to making it more interesting (and more nutritionally balanced if it's something you're eating a lot of long-term) lies in understanding the basics of traditional/restaurant style ramen. There are basically three fundamental steps to making good ramen:

1. Some kind of flavored oil. You can use something more traditional like chili oil or sesame oil, but really if you're just worried about making a good meal on a budget you can use any kind as long as it has some kind of aromatic flavor to it. Any oil that's been simmered with a bit of garlic or onion works just fine [or honestly... if you're really not feelin the extra effort that day you can just add a little bit of melted butter because butter makes everything taste good. you didn't hear this from me, don't tell the food purists]. This just adds a little bit of depth to the flavor that makes it stand out.

2. A good broth. I know instant ramen comes with a seasoning packet for the broth, but adding that to some vegetable stock makes the flavor a lot deeper and more satisfying than if you just add it to some water. You can use vegetable broth, chicken broth, beef broth, etc from the grocery store and that'll do just fine (I'm vegetarian so I like my vegetable stock), or you can rinse and boil any vegetable scraps you have from other recipes to make your own (you can save carrot ends, vegetable peels, etc etc in the fridge for this, or you can use whole vegetables for the broth, whatever works). If you'd like you can also add in your own spices and seasonings instead of just the packet. Just use something besides plain water, I know it's a little extra money but it's worth it, promise. A little bit of soy sauce in the broth also goes a long way. Also, if you want to make the broth a little richer.... add a little bit of milk or half n half. it makes it creamy and it's awesome with the flavored oil from the first step. For spicy ramen I love adding just a little bit of sugar or honey for a sweet and spicy effect, but it's up to you.

3. (and most importantly) toppings. Literally just anything you have in your fridge works for this honestly. Spinach? Cheese? Eggs? mushrooms??? throw it all in while the noodles are boiling in the broth. (if you want a poached egg just crack it over the noodles once it stars boiling and then put a lid over the pot. the steam cooks the top of the egg. If you wait just long enough to see the top of the egg turn white and then take the ramen off the heat right away the yolk will be runny, but if that's not your thing you can wait a little bit longer.) My favorite toppings vary but generally I like to have a protein (tofu, eggs, mushrooms, a meat substitute, etc etc), an aromatic (green onion and garlic are my favorites), and some kind of vegetable (spinach, carrot, corn, etc), and then optionally something else for a bit of extra texture like crispy fried onion or seaweed (you can find seaweed in the asian food section of most grocery stores from my experience for not a lot. You can go completely wild with the toppings though. Just about anything on ramen can be good if you set your mind to it. You can use more expensive authentic ingredients or you can use whatever you can find at your local stores or whatever you got at the food bank if you're like me.

Once you've figured out what ingredients you want to use, basically you just do the following steps: pour your broth into a pot and bring it up to a boil. Add in your seasoning packet if you'd like. [Optionally, add in your half n half or milk as well. if it's half n half add a tbsp or two, if it's milk add a little more.] Add in your noodles. When the noodles have started to cook, add in any of your toppings that you'd like to cook or soak up to flavors of the broth. [If the toppings don't need cooking, arrange them on the ramen right before the last step]. simmer for a couple minutes, then carefully pour into a bowl. Lastly, pour your aromatic oil over the noodles. That's it! One pot, not a lot of cook time, and a good way to liven up your ramen if you're tired of your usual method. And that's how even on a bit of a budget I can make ramen that looks like this;

Have fun!

An Unexpected Proposal - BWS

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I wrote anything. This took me a few days, but I hope you enjoy it.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

It was coming up to 7 pm, which meant it was time for you to go home. You worked at the customer service at the bank, and you loved your job as helping people was always something you really wanted, and you were doing it with a huge smile on your face. Altho aome days were more tiring than the others but you couldn't complain it was a part of your job.

Whilw walkong ro your car you messaged your boyfriend informing him that you finished work and that you were going to do some grocery shopping as there much food in the house and notbing to cook dinner with.

"Hello love, I'm on my way home now. Before I come home I am just going to pop to the shops. What do you fancy for dinner tonight?"

You got into the car and waited for him to reply. He was a bit of a slow person to reply, but you know why as he was busy at the studio. In the middle of driving, your phone began to vibrate, and of course, it was Bradley, so you waited for the red light as you approached the traffic light.

"I want you, my darling"

He replied back to your text. He made you blush with the things he said to you.

Finally, when you were home, you opened the door to the flat, revealing an empty flat. You put the bags down on the kitchen counter, wondering where Brad is. You searched for him but definitely wasn't in the living room or in the kitchen, not even in the in home studio.

"Babe, I'm home"

You say, but there was no response. You looked around and saw the place looking very spotless and clean. You asked yourself. " Whem did he have time to do?" Of course, you didn't think much of it, but the question loomed around your mind.

"Brad, I'm home. Where are you hiding, my love"

You got out your phone to message him but as you were about to you someone talking and it was coming from your bedroom.

"Come in to the bedroom"

You hear a soft voice. You smile and then make your way there. You didn't wait for another minute. You were excited to see him. You missed him a lot throughout the day, and you needed to be with him.

When you walk into the room, you see him in a black tux, his brown curls brushed neatly he had a red rose in his hands and smile on his face from the moment you entered the room.

"Well well what have you been to Mr"?

You say to him while leaning against the door. You had no idea where this was going, but you really enjoyed it.

"Well, why don't you come a bit closer, and I'll explain everything, miss?"

He gently takes your hand and pulls close towards his fully dressed body. You were nervous, but excitement filled the room too , but you wondered what was going on inside his head.

You wrapped your hands around your neck as you pulled close into a hug.

"What's going on Brad is everything alright:?

You ask.

"Everything is my fine, my love. I just need to do this now while I have the confidence"

He says while smiling at your confused face.

"Confidence to do what"?

You ask him.

"To tell you how I really feel about you. We have been dating for a few years now, and yes, we had our fair share of fights and arguments, but in the end, we always work it that is the one of the many things I love about us"

He took your hands in his, which were slightly sweaty, but you couldn't care as his touch was sweet and gentle. You still didn't know where this was going you watched as the moment carried on.

"You know I don't like arguing with you, my love, you mean so much to me. I never loved anyone the way I loved you, Brad, now can you please tell me what's going on? "

Said to him.

He bent down on knee and pulled out a black velvet box from his pocket. Your eyes widened with shock, slowly tears began to run down, and had an idea where this was going on, but you waited for him.

"I don't want to wait for another moment, I have made my decision, and that is that I want to spend the rest of my life with your my love I can’t imagine my life without you. So Y/N will you marry me"?

His smile just melted your heart, and that was when tears began to stream down your face. Your whole body began to shake, mix happiness and excitement he waited for your answer patiently.

"Oh Bradley"?

You call out shaking, your voice cracked, which made him chuckle at the state of you, but he couldn't stop smiling at as he waited for your response.

"Please baby, I need an answer so I'm asking you again my love will you marry me"?

He asked, and you eventually answered him and accepted it.

"Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes, I will marry you"

You said with tears of joy running down your face, these definitely tears od joy. You hugged him tightly he then put the ring on your finger you watched sparkle as the light hit it.

"Is this what you were up to all day, Mr Simpson?"

You said.

"Well, Mrs Simpson, I've been planning this for months but never had the chance just waiting for the right moment, and today was day the perfect day"

He said.

"Well, I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life, Mr Simpson"

You said.

"Bring it on, and I can’t wait, Mrs Simpson, I love you"

He said

"But I love you the most, my love"

You both then hugged each other once more...

Hi, I totally agree with you. HL don’t need any beards to promote their art, they are themselves more than enough for it. I think they have been brainwashed in their early career that beards benefit them and they have to focus on their sexlife during the promo. It’s 2023 and their pr tactics are outdated. look at capaldi, just being himself and funny, posting some memes and lovely stories, how many guys genuinely love him and gp doesn’t care about his sexlife. Louis just needs to open up more, and he is so sweet and funny, people will love him, his laddy lad image is not appealing to anyone. And it’s sad that some larries think that bearding is necessary. Louis can stay in the closet and still be single, he always can choose himself what he wants to share with us, just some cute content (dogs, sports, food, travelling, whatever) and yes to celebrity friendships!!

It all sounds so easy and simple right? So why don't they? You say that they've been brainwashed from the beginning. They might have been. I just feel like there must be more too it.

You're comparing Louis to Lewis Capaldi, but Lewis is making mainstream radiofriendly music and is selling buckets. He's also got a killer voice, is dead funny, and is open, vulnerable and honest. Louis has chosen a more difficult route, doing a type of music that not everyone is going to love and banking on a laddy image to sell it. He's also got heavy baggage, plenty of secrets to keep and not many friends in the industry. I don't know if this route is by choice. I don't see him progressing career wise just keeping on like this. He needs to balance his need to do what he wants to do, with the needs of his label and fans. I think his label demands profits, and if he can't achieve that, he needs to go along with their PR ploys. His fans demands a full show for their ticket. And he's failed to do so of late (cancelling all of the Asia part of tour and not singing his full setlist for different reasons).

Social media content would be a simple way to increase engagement. We know Louis can be good at it (from the 1D days), but i just feel like he's over it (or maybe it's not chavy enough...). It must be hard to do and say the right things online when you have so many secrets to keep. These days he can't even get a single tweet right, without getting critisism from his own fans (including myself). It's a bit damned if you do, and damned if you don’t type of situation.

But at some point he'll need more exposure and engagement for his ends to meet. I'm curious to see how he's going to go about it.

piggy bank money trick - Bacon fat chocolate chip cookies

Pigs are seen as a symbol of prosperity and good luck, however pork is simultaneously seen as unclean, and symbols of impurity and gluttony. So I see literally no better product to use in a cash trick for good old dirty money.

Eat them, share them, especially give them freely and spread them around through your friends like money to whoever is willing to try these funky cookies!

The pounding heart of the trick is going to be in the lard, like any other magic oil. Youre going to want to get some pork belly or bacon, and render out enough to get at least a half cup. I rendered it fast and seared the pork, so we have a smoky lard that adds kind of a richer and complex taste to them cookies. I wanted fast money, through tips and good luck and stuff, so it's sort of how I see gunpower being used in some gambling tricks where you want an explosive windfall of prosperity. Fire in the hole!

While this lard is still liquid, you are going to recite psalm 112 where your breath stirs the surface. "Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endureth forever." Psalm 113 is another good one, "he raises the poor from the mire, and the needy from the dunghill, that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people."

You can also add your own money herbs to the cookies when making the cookies, cinnamon and allspice and stuff.

When you're making money tricks you might not always have all the ingredients for this stuff. What you need is the lard and the flour, you can make lard biscuits or corn bread or anything, the principal is the same, just use what you got.

It's also not a bad idea to pray over each ingredient too, give them instructions on what to do.

1 and 1/2 cups of white sugar

2 Tablespoon of molasses - molasses and sugar are classic ingredients for sweetening a money situation, and you also save money not also buying brown sugar hahaha because thats just the exact same thing as white sugar and molasses

1/2 cup rendered bacon fat - our star ingredient, the stuff you prayed over. I will also use butter if you don't have enough bacon fat, then it's like 3 tablespoons of soft butter to 5 tablespoons of lard. Bacon fat is actually healthier for you than butter, since ours will sitll have protein in it and it has more unsaturated fats.

2 large eggs, preferably from a black hen - these have good protective and procreative qualities, just pure potential and a chicken-egg cycle of wealth procurement. From a black hen adds manifestation and power.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract - vanilla adds a sweetness and gentleness to a situation, decadence, especially since vanilla is so expensive and rare in nature.

1 teaspoon whiskey - whiskey is your best friend for adding power to spells. It is literally a spirit, offering for spirits, ancestral sacred water just like Florida water and hoyts cologne. If you want, you can infuse whiskey with cinnamon and money-drawing spices of your choice beforehand.

Pinch of cinnamon - cinnamon is a good money herb for heating things up and speedy good luck.

1 teaspoon table salt - salt of the earth! Protective and hard working qualities.

1 teaspoon baking soda - just to make the cookies rise hahaha. Upward motion is good here.

2 1/4 all purpose flour - you will sift this three times through a sieve. grains such as wheat need to be honored as sacred givers of life. Our daily bread is the basis for survival. I see people making fun of kitchen tricks as like tik tok witchcraft but we have so many systems designed just to bring us food and ingredients that our ancestors would have worked so much harder for and died without, and we risk losing a lot of depth to our identities and our spiritual practices if we just think of flour as a grocery store commodity divorced from the soil it grows from. These are all powdered seeds, grains are spirit food just like alcohol and symbolize pure creation and life.

1 1/2 cups of cut up chocolate - i wasn't always aware of how strong chocolate is in manifestation but spirits go fucking crazy for it. Chocolate back to the aztecs was a cold spiced drink reserved for nobility, and is still used as a spirit offering. since then it has been seen as such a valuable commodity and spread all over the god damn world, so essential it was manufactured for soldiers during wartime as m&ms. If you are buying it, it is a commodity, nobody NEEDS chocolate, pay the extra money for fair trade chocolate so you aren't supporting forced labor and child slavery. Money is a spirit as well and where you send it has consequences both physically and spiritually.

1/2 cup of cut up bacon or pork belly that you rendered the lard from - this is optional. i fry these so that they're really crispy and black and smokey but not rock hard. These are just salty and nice to contrast with the sweetness.

Mix your wet and dry ingredients, then combine the two. Cook them in the oven at 350° for 13 minutes. You will have magic piggy bank cookies! Give thanks to the spirit who helped you and offer one of the cookies, if applicable.

(swiftie asker) "he was the sweet lemonade you wanted for a summer but cove was the water you needed" OH OKAY. OH OKAY. YOU LITERALLY COULD'VE JUST TAKEN MY STILL BEATING HEART AND THROWN IT INTO A FOOD PROCESSOR AND IT WOULD'VE HURT LESS THAN THAT. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK DUDE

the idea of baxter filling the "other woman" archetype is so bittersweet because he doesn't even show any hints that he's upset about it. he's just so very good at reassuring others that everything's fine, that the day is meant to be about them and that he's here to make their special day perfect. but who's going to be there for him? who's going to be more than just his summer love? who's going to realize they still love him in the fall?

reminds me of some of taylor's new music from ttpd ... fortnight (the first track) is such a baxter song because like . fleeting love? the one that got away? "thought of calling ya, but you won't pick up" referring to baxter ghosting mc for five years? "i took the miracle move-on drug; the effects were temporary" referring to baxter trying to make himself as temporary as possible so mc would forget about him easily - and it not working? "i love you, it's ruining my life"? "i touched you for only a fortnight"? "all of this to say, i hope you're okay - but you're the reason"? "and for a fortnight there, we were forever"???? i'm sorry but it's literally him.

ahhhh i don't mean to constantly send in walls of text but i've been a fan of yours for a long ass time and i'm so glad you like my silly little ideas!! i look up to you a lot as a writer so it makes me really happy that you're willing to entertain my thoughts haha

"who's going to realize they still love him in the fall" OH MY GOD.... just snatch my heart up n squeeze it omg...

that song is so him. i listened to it like 3 times and it's so HIM. also "i love you, it's ruining my life" is the best fucking way to describe how I FELT AFTER PLAYING BAXTER'S DLC. the pain, the way he delicately then cruelly rejects you when you ask for more.

that'd be exactly what he was trying to avoid. it's why he didn't go further with you in the cabin, and it's why he keeps up the appearance of someone put together and strong, mysterious and a whirlwind. so much so you can't put up with it for more than the summer.

gives you the glitter and flare of a summer fling, gives you fun and excitement but deprives you of the intimacy, dodges the sensitive questions...

but you're too kind. always reaching out for him, pulling him into your small world, and he's too much of a sucker. falls for your sweet smile, your insistence that he joins your friends or family for activities. falls for you insisting that you need him, that you like him...

jfc i cannot ramble again, if anything im the one yapping your ear off LMAO. please i can ramble about baxter for DAYS. i love him but this man is the perfect angst bank and i can drag on for ages...

and please don't worry about writing long messages, even if i take awhile to respond, i love reading em so much. i was actually looking forward to what you had to say about my last response lol <3

n plus you know much more about taylor swift than i do, and the songs n stuff better. i mean i do check the lyrics n associate em n associate songs n stuff but i love how enthusiastic you are, it's very refreshing to me 😊

and omg you're so kind... ngl i cried a bit LOL i've never had someone say they look up to me n i didn't expect that, that's very sweet and i'm glad i'm good enough to be inspiring, i'm very happy to hear that🥹🫶

n i'm more than happy to listen to everyones thoughts, i think everything yall have to say is worthwhile and it's like you pluck some things straight out of my brain too 😂 i wish i could spend all day answering yall's thoughts and stuff, i get excited seeing more asks even though i cannot respond quickly

so thank you for sharing your thoughts <3 i look forward to more, n don't be afraid to dm me!!! yall are too sweet, so feel free to ask me anything 🥰

The Dabloons

Summary: Agatha understood what TikTok was, but this new trend confused her.

word count: 1.5k

a/n: yes I am writing a blurb of this don't @ me, i just wanted Agatha and fluff so this is it ig

warnings: dabloons, fluff, cooking, sweet stuff, Wanda and viz are here, and so are the kids.

Reblogs are appreciated! Happy reading !!!

“ Babe,” 

“ yes aggie ?” you yell back to your girlfriend. 

“ Did you take out the trash as I told you? “ she asks, trying her best to get the house cleaned up before the Maximoffs came over for Thanksgiving dinner. 

Could she have easily used her magic to clean the whole house? Yes 

Was she convinced by you to not use magic all the time as she wanted to be “ normal “? Yes, and you even used puppy eyes too. 

When she got to the living room, Agatha expected it to be clean but is shocked to see you on the couch with your phone in hand and a piece of paper in your lap. 

“ Babe what the heck did I tell you ? “ and you look up from your phone to see a very mad Agatha, apron around her , looking tired as hell and you think of a way how to not piss her off even more. Both of you stay in silence as she waits for an answer from you, wondering what you must be doing. 

“ well you told me to pick up the trash and I was gonna do it but I had some important matters to attend and now I’m here, “ you explain, Agatha’s not reacting at all to this. 

“Dabloon bank,” she reads aloud,” why the heck are you keeping track of pirate currency honey?”

“ because it’s fun?” no reaction from your girlfriend. 

“ Explain later and just throw out the trash honey,” she tells you. 

“ let me just write down the last of what I got from this person's shop Aggie and I’ll-” 

“ y/n, if I don't see all the trash in the house thrown out in 20 minutes, you aren’t getting some of my special brownies after dinner,” she says which of course gets you right off the couch to get all the trash, brownies made by your sweet Agatha always are your weakness. Agatha makes her way back to the kitchen to continue preparing what’s left of the dinner when you walk into the kitchen with your phone in hand along with the same paper from earlier. 

“ Aggie,” you say and make your way to the counter, sitting on one of the stools as she prepares the batter for the brownies. 

“ what do you need sweet superstar? “ she asks. 

“ Can I explain to you what the dabloon economy is? “ 

“ When I’m not busy babe,” she tells you, sad that she can’t hear whatever weird trend is going on with the app you seem to be attached to nowadays. Humans always seem to come up with the silliest things to keep their minds entertained, Agatha has been witness to this in her 300+ plus years of living, and even with you showing her every trend that went on in the app it always left her confused.

3 hours later 

The food was done in the kitchen, you were eagerly waiting to see your friends after weeks of being busy, and Agatha was just about getting done getting ready when the doorbell rang. It was the first thanksgiving that she’d be celebrating with people so everything had to be perfect as she did not want to disappoint her friends. 

“ Don’t worry Aggie i got it,” she hears you yell from the living room, not a second later hearing cheers from her friends along with the twin boys. As soon as she got the rest of her makeup done, Agatha made her way to the front where everyone is. While you are dragged to the living room by the twins, she takes a moment to talk to the couple. 

“ You look amazing Agatha! And I love what you’ve done with the place,” Wanda exclaims, happy to see her friend thriving and well. 

“ I could say the same about you superstar,” she shoots back at Wanda while Vision is just happy to see that his wife is in a good mood. 

“ And you Viz, How has life been treating you? She asks the man and she lets out a sigh of relief. 

“ happy to play the part of stay-at-home parent for now but the boy could not stop talking about this silly little dabloons trend,” he explains to her. 

“ Dabloons? Isn’t that pirate money ?” Agatha asks them. Wanda takes over on explaining what dabloons are to her dear old friend while Viz listens to the conversation. 

Agatha thought it was just a silly little game going on within the app and didn't realize there were whole governments, jobs, and even governments being formed over this. It’s no wonder you got all excited earlier to explain how all of this works. 

While this conversation was happening, the boys were in the living room with you, papers in hand given by you as they try their best to remember how many dabloons they have. 

“ you don’t have 1000 dabloons Tommy, remember the rule about getting anything over 100 in each video,” billy tells his brother as she erases the amount he had on the paper. 

“ Not if you get caught dummy, no dabloon cops have gotten me,” Tommy says and you giggle at how invested these two are with this as much as you are. Within two days of the dabloon trend, you have earned alot of dabloons, gotten robbed, given a cat, and even bought a house with said dabloons.

It was a trend that made you very happy and you wanted to very much explain to your girlfriend, but sadly understood she had to make the dinner for today so you decided to wait until she wasn’t busy. 

“ How many do you have y/n?” Tommy asks you, as he tries to take a peek at the paper in the notebook but you are smart enough to know. 

“ Just to steal them Huh Tommy?” you ask and billy giggles at you. After a couple of moments, you get distracted and you fail to notice when the young boy gets your paper as a way to steal some of the dabloons. Agatha hears laughter erupting from the living room so she leaves the couple to talk amongst themselves to see the boys chasing you around as both of them work together for stealing the dabloons. 

“ Agatha help me please, my dabloons have been stolen by these robbers,” you say dramatically running to her, playing the part as the boys look at the older woman, trying their best to appear innocent. 

“ Did you protect them with your energy baby?” 

“ Well um,” you say quietly to her and she giggles a bit.

“ Rule number one honey: protect what’s yours. Lucky you, i’m here in your honor, “ she says and kneels down to the same height as the boys to negotiate with the twins to give you back the dabloons. 10 minutes of talks later, Agatha gives you back the paper, promising to give the boys some of her special brownies to take home with them after dinner but you didn't need to worry about that. 

Dinner after that is all good ad you praise Agatha for how well of a cook she is, over the moon at another one of her talents which makes her blush a bit. Her guests said the same thing as well, calming her mind down a bit after worrying all day as to whether the food would be up to their standards. Dessert went super well as she decided on making apple pie for the adults and brownies for the boys and by the end of the night, everyone is full from all the food cooked but Agatha provides them with enough leftovers to last them a week. 

Once the Maximoff have left for their home, Agatha quickly uses her magic to clean the kitchen, not wanting to waste time on that so she could spend the rest of the night with you. 

“ Hey superstar,” you hear Agatha say as she walks into your shared room to find you in bed, under the blanket watching tiktoks as usual. 

“ hi aggie,” you say as she uses her magic to get out of the clothes into comfier ones. 

“ What happened to not using magic all the time Aggie? “

“ I do not want to waste time, just wanna spend it all being close to you, and maybe you can also explain tha dabloon thing now,” she tells you cuddling with you. 

“ Are you sure? I don’t want to annoy you and you must be tired from cleaning, i don’t want to -” 

“ honey, you can never annoy me,” she pauses,” I always want to hear anything new about you, don't you ever think that.” 

The rest of the night is spent with you in Agatha's arms going over anything and everything that has to do with the dabloon trend until you get too sleepy to go on and fall asleep in her arms. It doesn’t take too long for Agatha to fall asleep right after you.

The older woman holding you is forever grateful to have met you, able to see you all happy about what makes you smile.

(●o’∪`o)ノ―♪`*.+ a bottle of affection, comin' up ! ♡

# (🌻) AVAILABLE CHARACTERS:

ITTO, DILUC AND KAZUHA 💗

special notes: GN! READER ♡ part two of how shopping dates with the genshin men would be like <3 , modern setting, shimi had so much fun writing itto's part ʕᴥ• ʔ, cute sappy and wholesome! * i also want to to lowkey start taking requests so pls my inbox is open >< but if u wanna jus talk im also open !

# (🪨) ITTO !

♡ the absolute man !! but that doesn't mean he won't give in to your pouts when you beg him to give you a piggyback ride just because your legs are hurting - through the street market (〃＞＿＜;〃) super weak when it comes to you, basically ( ` ω ´ )

♡ we know that this man is the goofiest - and from that we can infer that he's one of the most fun to be around ! you're super lucky to call him yours ;> of course, because of that, this oni brings the fun to your shopping trips together!

♡ after carrying your multiple shopping bags, or after he buys you a pricey necklace from your favorite store, the oni takes the opportunity instantly ! i definitely think he asks for a kiss every single time - and so, i'm sure you took him for surprise when the time came that before he could open his mouth, you're tugging him by his collar and pressing a loving kiss on his lips ヾ(`ヘ´)ﾉﾞ ♡ who's blushing now?

♡ when you pull away, he's all lovesick and drunk on the taste of your cherry lipbalm, hehe! (つω`｡) woozy baby!

♡ i don't really know if this is along the lines of "shopping," but hear me out -- itto is the one dragging you to the nail salon in the middle of your date ><; that's right! he definitely gets his nails done with you - which is so sickenly sweet of him - especially when he matches his manicure with yours (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

♡ random insert: he attempts to get you have your nails painted light blue because the arataki gang told him all about it .. you playfully smack him (hard) in return.. you're not that easy to trick, that opportunistic child .. ! (ノ_<。)ヾ(´ ▽ ` )

♡ you always start to think the man's having more fun than you do, honestly - with the way his basket is even more loaded than yours .. ( most of time, you're urging him to put half the stuff back because you're sure they're completely unnecessary. who needs a toy bank that has a functioning onikabuto that grabs the coins when you deposit them? definitely not us, itto!) (￣ ￣|||)

♡ one of his absolute favorite things to do is going to the food court when you both are starving after going back and forth, store after store <3 he's very whiny, trust me, batting his eyelashes at you - reminding you about how he's been such an obedient boyfriend. (￢_￢;) his face lights up when you give in to his very "manly" idea of spoonfeeding him your meal (ง ื▿ ื)ว ( sneaky oni.. )

♡ when you decide to swing by the nearby clothing shops for new outfits, itto's got a mischievous grin, waddling over with a piece of risqué lingerie while you're in the fitting room. you throw him out as he wiggles his eyebrows at you, your cheeks heating up at his suggestion as he erupts in a fit of boisterous laughter seeing your cute reaction !! ( ╥ω╥ )

"oh, c'mon babe, you'd look super good !! >:)) you'd look hella entrancing like some god i worship - ow! "

♡ along that, he disappears into the ladies section, and you're always left to wonder what kind of antics he was up to .. again ^^; he drags you to the waiting room while he tries on the mysterious clothes he picked - and while you expect an embarrassing t-shirt with some "trendy" quote printed on the front, he emerges from the stall wearing a CROP TOP. your mouth is agape, and he's just nuzzling your cheek teasing you non-stop! (￣▽￣*)ゞ

"what? shocked your man looks good? aw, pretty baby's all flustered, hm..? god, you're cute."

# (🦅) DILUC !

♡ this man !! one of the most romantic boyfriends to ever exist, he never disappoints and everybody just envies how you both look super perfect together <3 ヾ(=`ω´=)ノ”

♡ while you both are out on a chilly night, wrapped up in turtlenecks and trench coats, you offer to hold his hand n' his tough front just crumbles (つ﹏<)･ﾟ｡ he's looking away from your teasing gaze, intertwining his fingers with yours. a very pouty baby, 100% guaranteed !! (now gets upset whenever you forget to link hands on your dates after this happened (´;ω;｀))

♡ a very traditional man !! diluc is a gentleman, asking the employees for the colors you need (your favorites), the sizes you require (also has this memorized).. and as you watch him dash around the store determined to find what you asked him to, your heart almost explodes ๐·°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐

♡ like zhongli, he's very compliant, he finds it hard saying no to you - especially during those moments when you're feeding him yakitori by a food stall while the owner watches .. (つ﹏<。)

♡ during your shopping trips, diluc doesn't outright say when he wants something, so you really have to be observant and pick it out from his facial expression !! (っ◞‸◟c) so when you catch him staring at these cute matching cat ear headbands, he's all red, scrambling for an excuse >< <3

♡ you both definitely end up taking a lot of pictures wearing them, and you decide to bring them home !! and as diluc later prints out his favorite selfie from the bunch later on, he sighs and smiles softly, whispering a soft "god, i'm in love.." admiration for you filling his heart (づ◡﹏◡)づ !!

♡ everything reminds him of you - and sometimes he can't help but splurge, even when he doesn't usually throw money around despite having that ability to ☆⌒(≧▽​° ) you only realize that when you notice there are waaaay more branded paper bags at the back of your car than you remember (･ω<)☆

♡ instead of buying you flowers from a shop, he would much rather take you to an isolated hidden haven where dozens of small lamp grass are scattered, growing and glowing ٩( ‘ω’ )و he thinks you're ethereal, as you're sitting in between the pretty plants, candid smiles and hushed giggles in the air. but still, he still believes you're the most captivating flower to ever exist _(ˇωˇ」∠)_

♡ on his phone, he has a locked note dedicated to you - a compiled list of your favorite things, organized and committed to memory. some of which are your favored desserts - and so, he always makes sure to swing by the bakery and get a box of your assorted sweets that he knows you'll love ♡ (please.. give him a kiss on the cheek, baby just wants your affection ><)

♡ random insert: whenever you bring diluc to the mall, he tries so hard to not stray to the jewelry stores, because he knows once he steps one foot in there, he's going to be eyeing the ring section !! (人´∀｀)．☆．。．:*･°

♡ overall, diluc is the dream boy of the century (*-ω-)ヾ(・ω・*) his actions definitely show how much he loves you, even if he has trouble expressing it using words ଘ(੭ˊ꒳​ˋ)੭✧ !!

" thank you love, you never fail to leave me infatuated with your grandeur, can't believe i have you all to myself. "

# (🍁) KAZUHA !

♡ oh my, this pretty boy !! we all know this man is good with his words, so he takes every shining chance to fluster you or catch you off guard +｡ﾟφ(ゝω・｀○)+｡ﾟ

♡ i just know, kazuha loves going to the bookstore, both of you cozying into each other at a hidden far corner where both of you can have some peace and quiet (*＾▽＾)／

♡ there, he reads you poems while ghosting his lips against your knuckles ♡￫ܫ￩♡ it's a favorite pasttime for you both, browsing the various books on the shelves until you find the perfect one you can bring home !! ( at home, you find yourselves tangled under the sheets, the soft playing of the zither resonating in your shared room while kazuha's soft voice accompanies it, flipping through the pages )（´・｀ ）♡

♡ going to the coffee shop is a must !! before you both can go entering shops and using up this month's salary, you both need your fill of coffee to energize you <3 kazuha sometimes gets a warm mocha latte while you grab an iced coffee most of the time !! but if you are feeling like trying something different, you both go for the most unique sounding beverages on the menu (●´□`)♡

♡ kazuha loves the thought of getting a goodnight's rest, and he very much favors feeling cozy and warm after a long day of hard work.. so hear me out !! he definitely brings you to a build-a-bear workshop so he can make sure you don't feel lonely during nights he isn't around !! (*´∀｀*)

♡ you know how you can record voice clips on the stuffed toy you purchased? exactly ! i think you know where i'm getting at (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ kazuha definitely records him reciting a really romantic quote for you, along with a reminder that he would love you for eternity, season after each passing season. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ <3

♡ the king of compliments !! he has such a wide vocabulary, so he never runs out of new ideas for flattery o(〒﹏〒)o everytime you leave the fitting room wearing something stunning, the boy is starstruck and eyeing you up and down, a soft smirk written on his handsome features ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚

♡ is the one taking the lead most of the time ! he shushes you when you deny that you want such an expensive pair of earrings, already urging the female employee to assist you in wearing them. he playfully grins when he observes how the diamonds reflect in the light, just like the sparkles that are in your eyes ･ﾟ･(｡>ω <｡)･ﾟ･

♡ when both of you are done sweeping the entire shopping mall, you link hands and enjoy the evening air right outside. the wind blows through your hair and kazuha looks at you with a lovesick gaze :(( <3

" the time i spend with you, brightens the heart. for you are the peace that accompanies the cool evening breeze, the solace that allows me tranquility. i love you, my darling maple leaf. "
