#i have dreams okay? they're just unrealistic as fuck

[silveraura]

I would post so much more about all the worldbuilding and storyplanning I'm doing if I didn't wanna be a cool mysterious author who gets to answer deep research questions from readers with vague cheeky hints that you could maybe call answers if you squint at them.

Truly behaviour that stems from complete delusion since I haven't published anything and yet am planning a 5 book series with plans for a follow-up series.

the hike.

dialogue prompts from the hike: a novel by drew magary.

this is a dream. this is not a physically possible situation.

it would take nothing to kill you. an infected mosquito could do it.

i had to see you one more time.

you haven't aged a day. literally.

any beer is good beer.

my favorite part of the party is when the party is over.

i wish i hadn't fucked up with you.

guys always get too serious too quickly, and they never realize it until it's too late.

sometimes the moment gets away from you, and that's it.

i need to use your phone.

i feel safest here, in my home.

i didn't forget my promise to you.

are you really not coming with me?

i'm getting used to disappointment.

i have to know now, regardless of how terrible it is.

i can't go back in there alone.

did i eat a bad mushroom or something?

how'd you get that scar?

people always say they're sorry. it does nothing for me.

well, fuck him. is that a better reaction?

it's okay. you don't have to say anything.

if you can't sail, you better be good at swimming.

you're not dead. that's pretty impressive.

i don't have to explain anything to you.

i'd shut my eyes tight, if i were you.

the last part of any journey is always the longest.

it's not much farther, i swear. you're doing really well.

look at you. you're as cute as a button.

tell me about them. your family.

it's okay to be glad it's all over. that you can finally move on with your life.

you need to make me a promise, you whiny baby.

don't give up, no matter how long it takes. no matter what it takes for you to keep going. promise me you won't stop.

you're assuming there's a reason behind all of this.

that's completely unrealistic, anatomically speaking.

i need to be in a constant state of awareness.

even if you think i'm sleeping, i'm not. i'm saving my energy.

fighting is the most exhausting thing in the world.

i don't know what they do in there, and i don't want to know.

where did you come from? who are your parents?

when you're happy, you don't question how that came to be.

horses are for rich girls and old men.

i would wear pajamas to a funeral.

just come here for a second. let me hug you.

i have doubts every second, but all i can do is move forward.

you won't always be alone. you'll have company.

you can adjust to anything if you're willing to live on.

stay where you are and hold on, because i will come back.

that happened, didn't it?

if i die, you can eat me. it's alright. but you can't start eating me before i'm dead.

don't joke about that. bad ideas always start out as bad jokes.

just because god loves you doesn't mean he can save you from suffering.

we have homes so that we can leave them.

i'm not quite dead yet.

mathematics are the language of the devil.

it's not a prayer if you don't mean it.

the world changes, but people act the way people always do.

what i want hasn't mattered for a long time now.

i don't want to be around long enough to disappoint you.

it's love. love doesn't require an explanation.

the only reason i'm still alive is out of sheer habit.

half the people who survive don't know how or why they did it. i know i don't.

you can get away with anything if you just say you did it with honor.

i've gotten good at being alone again.

you're like a bad yearbook photo come to life.

wisdom is so terribly overrated.

you can't go back. you know too much now.

i'll stay here forever with you, if that's how much time you need.

everyone needs to have something inside them that no one else can have.

pairing: zoro x sanji / zosan (one piece)

genre: fluff, idiocy, getting together, mutual pining

warnings: none, just headache inducing dumbassery from the two of them

ao3

sanji never liked books. he thinks they're too unrealistic to entertain him. the only ones he can stand are those with recipes.

that was until robin introduced him to a "stupid" romance novel, one that he liked quite a lot.

since then, he's become a bookworm and bonds more with robin over their shared interests. he has also been comparing a certain marimo to the books he enjoys.

about how unpredictable the novels that robin recommended to him are, just like the seaweed. how he enjoys watching zoro's day-to-day routine, just like how the books entertain him. how he thinks he knows where the story is going but then it takes a huge turn- just like zoro, who surprises him with every move he does.

a plot twist, an enigma, that's what zoro is. zoro is like a book to sanji, maybe that's what got him hooked to books in the first place- which he never liked from the start, zoro, yes that's it. he likes books like how he likes zoro.

but of course, the marimo doesn't need to know that.

just like in books, he's gonna be watching from afar, silently watching zoro until he gets his own lover and reaches a happy ending. then that's where his cue to stop is going to come.

books are entertaining and this should be as well, right? he's gonna stay as an outsider from zoro's romance story, like how he reads books. he's gonna root for zoro, the main lead, and his love interest, he would want them to get together, for his own enjoyment as well.

so why the hell does it hurt?

guess that's the difference between books and reality.

the other gives you little pangs of pain whenever the main couple have misunderstandings, the other.. well, makes you suffer in silence. much worse that being kicked by blackleg sanji himself, the very own sanji bets.

'whatever', the blonde brushes it off. these stupid feelings will go away soon anyway. he's too busy to fall inlove, it won't do him any good in finding the All Blue. 'it's just a little crush because zoro is so cool and hot- nothing serious.'

is what he'd like to say if this "stupid little crush" hasn't been here for the past 6 months already.

okay- so he might be slightly inlove with the marimo BUT it's sure to go away soon. he swears.

while he was having an internal conflict about his dumbass feelings, zoro casted him a look, and gave a gut-wrenching (positive) smile that made him want to rip out his beating heart in an instant.

it's times like these that sanji falls harder for the goddamn marimo. a smile so so small while he's working out and the blonde relaxing a few inches away, a pat on the head after zoro finishes his dinner as a praise for sanji's (usual) great food, zoro hearing him out when a sudden depressive episode hits him while they're on night watch, god fucking damn it.

he IS head over heels for zoro, fine. fuck you if you somehow get the balls to mention all of this information to the dumbass.

he has no clue about sanji's feelings, and it shall stay that way because he's not kidding when he says he's gonna throw himself out of the ship, in the middle of this huge ass sea, if god forbid his feelings reached the ears of the seaweed.

zoro suddenly stopped lifting his weights and looked at sanji for a second and said, "hey cook, the dessert earlier was amazing. you remembered that i don't like sweets, thanks."

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

A RARE COMPLIMENT FROM ZORO HE'S GOING TO ACTUALLY DIE.

"ah.. it's nothing. what kind if cook am i if i don't please my customers, yeah?" sanji managed to reply normally despite malfunctioning like crazy on the inside.

he fucking hates this side of zoro.

the rare, soft, gentle, zoro who you might mistake for the man of your dreams if it weren't for the fact that this side of him is the complete opposite of the real zoro who is a brute, stupid, no-table-manners, swordsman.

the soft zoro who always manages to catch sanji off-guard and makes him wanna throw himself to outer space and never come back because of how much his heart was beating for the marimo.

he is exaggerating but he can't help it he's head over heels for the swordsman- not that he actually wants to admit to it.

despite sanji's brain going into ruins he failed to miss the smile that zoro- again- gave him.

this is the worst.

he only wanted to relax in this fine afternoon after the exhaustion of which feeding the bottomless pit that is luffy's stomach gave him, not fall inlove harder with this crewmate!

it doesn't help that their other friends are out enjoying themselves and left only the two of them to guard the ship.

yes, that's right, guard the ship AND NOT UNDRESS THE MARIMO WITH HIS EYES.

this is the worst, oh god- this is the first time he turned to the guy above whom everyone worships and it is shameless to ask but- sanji wishes for a sea king to just appear and swallow him, never to be found, never to come back aboard on the ship with the man he loves.

well apparently god hates non-worshippers because the marimo just had to talk to him again- now with a slight blush on his face.

huh? a blush? what? why-

"cook, are you dating someone?" zoro asked with a voice so quiet it makes it seem like he didn't want to speak in the first place.

sanji, confused, and quite frankly tired of running around in his own mind just because his crush did something cute, replied with a raised voice, "HUH?" which seem to have startled zoro a bit, he's used with the cook yelling all the damn time but he didn't really expect that the blonde would take offense from the question.

zoro slightly panicking, took his question back "shit. should i have not asked? sorry cook, i was curious and robin told me to ju-" but he was cut off when sanji gave a reply.

"no no no just wait you goddamn marimo- i'm not dating someone. and what do you mean you were curious?!" sanji replied with a blush that you can never miss, even if you were the dumbest seaweed on earth.

zoro returned the blush, equally flustered as the other because his motive was just exposed to the chef, "yeah- uh- i was curious, it's like i know everything about you but not if you have a lover or something.. i asked robin and she told me to just ask you directly and i did. is that weird?"

shit. zoro's actions makes it seem like he likes him back.

wait.

like.. him.. back?

"w-why were you curious in the first place anyway? i'm pretty sure you don't have a single romantic bone in you... the question isn't weird but now it is because it came from you!" sanji asked- more like demanded to know to be honest- the blush still not going away from his face.

zoro gave him a dumbfounded look, like sanji was THE dumb one, "why would you ask that? i thought you knew...?" he said with genuine confusion.

before sanji could ask- yell 'what the hell does that mean marimo?!' zoro spoke again, the most unbelievable sentence so far.

"i like you, cook."

for the love of everything holy.

sanji bursted out laughing, though not genuine, "no- haha, i must be dreaming! i read too many romance novels and now i'm projecting on my dreams that the stupid marimo actually likes me back! yeah that's it- that's what's happening here. this isn't real." he nervously laughed it off, after all it's impossible that the roronoa zoro has romantic feelings for someone, let anyone sanji himself.

the chef was proven wrong when zoro's reaction turned into one of concern, "the hell do you mean cook? this is real life. i'm being genuine here and you just laughed it off, just say so if you feel the same way, i can actually take rejections you know." after he uttered the last bit, zoro's expression turned into just genuine sadness, definitely a reaction you wouldn't expect from the man himself.

"no, god no, it's not like that you dumbass marimo! didn't you hear what i just said? i said i like you but i never expected for you to return the feelings- hell, i didn't even expect you to know your own feelings! it just feels like a dream, you know? i've been fighting my feelings for 6 months already and i swore to never let you know but here you are, confessing. i even compared you to the romance novels that robin gave me- said i would've been okay with just watching you from afar getting all happy and soft with your lover even if i knew it was a lie but then you went ahead and said all this. of course i wouldn't believe it!" sanji was practically rambling but he didn't really care, as long as the message gets through zoro's thick skull.

"what? 6 months? i never noticed!"

sanji lit up a cigarette to hide his embarrassment, "told ya' you're stupid." then he blew out a smoke.

zoro frowned at his response, "i could say the same thing to you shit cook. i've been flirting with you for 9 months already and you never noticed."

the chef choked on his own smoke, "what the hell?! how long have you liked me!?" sanji yelled while coughing slightly and zoro replied with the same volume, "since arlong park you dumbass!"

"then why the fuck did you not tell me!?"

"you're always flirting with women, who would?"

sanji looked over at zoro who he didn't notice scooted near him and stopped working out completely, and if he wasn't observant enough he would've missed the pout-y expression that zoro was making, though he was amazing at hiding it.

"yeah, my bad. we're just both idiots huh?" the cook extinguished his cigarette and grinned, zoro shortly returned the face, "yeah. you're worse though. dense as hell love cook."

"even the most intelligent person wouldn't know if you're flirting you idiot! you're always glaring at me and picking a fight, how the hell would i catch the hint? it's not like i can rea-"

"shut up and kiss me, shit cook."

they spent the whole afternoon making out (gross) and cuddling, when the crew came back they sneakily went back to doing their own thing as if nothing romantic happened in the first place.

the crew could tell though. the first fight that broke out between them after the others arrived back from their little trip was practically filled with hearts and flowers all over the both of them.

oh and a certain someone was definitely spying on them, congratulating sanji for making the scenes in his favorite romance novels come to life, albeit not as romantic.

though it is quite obvious that the cook wouldn't have his own romance any other way.

Any thoughts about the Reveal concerning Bloom's heritage? Who learns first, when, in what circumstances?

Okay there's different parts of the Reveal of her heritage. There's the general 'this is probably what you are' reveal, the 'your family is from Domino' reveal and the 'oh shit you're a Princess' reveal.

So the general reveal kinda happens right off the bat.

Bloom knows she's adopted. When Stella shows up and explains 'hey there's a world of Magic' and the whole 'Earth doesn't have Magic', they discuss what's happening. Well them, plus Bloom's parents and also Faragonda because Stella brings them all to Alfea.

Given the circumstances, they realize it's likely that Bloom originally came from one of the other Realms and ended up on Earth. It's not even unrealistic, as people do visit Earth (like Stella did in the first episode). So a family on vacation that gets separated somehow makes sense.

As for Domino

That happens during the Miss Magix episode as the focus is being rewritten.

So like. One thing I'm leaning heavy into with this is the 'presented as Fantasy but also very Sci-Fi' where all the different Realms are different Planets and everyone has different funky biology. This would be something kinda in the background but not fully explained until now.

Bloom was initially under a Glamour Spell, created by Daphne so she'd blend in on Earth. But now that she's awakened her Magic and transformed a few times, the Glamour has worn off. While her Faerie Form already had some dragon imagery, this is now 24/7 scales.

She wakes up with dragon-y features, freaks out, and the girls connect the above dots. She gets a crash course of the different alien biology. With Stella using this as an excuse to drag them to the Miss Magix competition as it's a fashion show that really highlights the different appearances (alongside different Realms' beauty standards.

Anyway!

Another plot point is that people, like. Know about Domino. The whole Incident™ only happened less than 2 decades ago, after all. And there's also a handful of survivors.

So people know what Dominians look like and can connect the dots with Bloom.

As for the Princess thing!

The first ones to figure it out are Faragonda and Tecna.

Faragonda is suspicious in general. Like at first she's fine to think that Bloom just 'ended up on Earth'. But Dominian features, plus being actively under a Glamour that someone had to have cast on her, Bloom being incredibly powerful, and then she starts dreaming of someone named 'Daphne' and..... well, if Domino's younger Princess /was/ alive, she'd be just about Bloom's age, right?

Tecna also connects these dots around the same time. Though she's unsure who to bring this up to. She does tell Faragonda who's like 'look I have also connected the dots but we need to investigate and be sure because this is something Major.'.

Later on we also get Timmy connecting the dots when the Winx explain everything to the Specialists.

We get a funnier moment of connecting the dots with Griffin because Faragonda takes Bloom to Cloud Tower to search their Library (instead of the sneaking in from Canon). And as Bloom explains what they know she's just side eye-ing Faragonda like "Girl I KNOW you have connected the dots just tell her already damn it".

I don't think the Trix /fully/ connect the dots, but they do realize that Bloom has the Dragon Flame for some reason. They probably question 'who the fuck is she to get this power???'.

Anyway!

Originally everyone who had connected the dots were doing the 'ya know what let's wait and see what all is happening so it doesn't freak her the hell out' thing and not telling Bloom

But then they realize that the Trix are an actual legitimate threat and not just 'school rivalry gone too far', and they're targeting Bloom, and ya know what she deserves to know why. So now the whole gang knows.

I think they're kind of in denial until they actually go to Domino and see Daphne's Ghost and all and it really hits 'oh fuck she's the lost Princess'.

I'm thinking about Rand's ending in the books and I hate both the bodyswap and that he abandons everyone but at the same time I get that his sacrifice has to mean something so the world forgets him/lets him fade into myth. And him actually dying would undermine the entire point of his arc. So I'm curious how you think the show might tackle this? I'm sure there's a few options

i hate it too! but yeah, rand needs to be forgotten by the world at large and needs to get a new face so he won't be recognized, or else he will never know peace. so the way i would do it is have him fade into myth among the general public, but still remain part of his loved ones' lives and they all just keep secret the fact that this guy is rand al'thor. his whole arc is about learning to stop self-isolating and to instead let himself lean on his loved ones for support, so i felt that him ending the series by fucking off into the mist all alone was totally contrary to that and did not make emotional sense as the endpoint of the journey we'd been on with him for 14 books. i can certainly understand if he needs to take a lil sabbatical and have some time to himself in the immediate aftermath, but that should not have been the very final concluding note of his whole arc! for my own sanity i have to imagine he just took a 2-week vacation and then went to caemlyn to be with his family (and told tam, nynaeve, and perrin that he's still alive, and rescued mat from the seanchan and incorporated him into the polycule, and bargained with the creator to bring egwene and gawyn back to life........okay i'm getting sidetracked)

as for what the show might do, i'll brace myself for them to adhere to the book version, but from what we've seen in the first 2 seasons, i think that ending would make even less sense for show!rand than it does for book!rand. in 1x08, we see that his greatest dream is to live a quiet, peaceful life with his family, and now we're going on a journey of watching him be forced to give up that dream for the rest of the series. what better way to end the show than by having rand finally get to live out that dream now that his duty to the world is done? the tears i would weep if the final scene of the show was similar to his 1x08 domestic AU, but real this time! plus, the s1 ending & s2 already did the whole thing of rand fucking off into the mist all alone, making his loved ones think he's dead, and trying to start over in a new town with a new life - AND HE LEARNS THAT THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE because he can't help but get attached to new people wherever he goes AND because he can't keep himself from remaining attached to the people from his old life and wanting to help them when he learns they're in trouble. and it also showed how his loved ones suffer because of him making them think he's dead and took a pretty hard stance in saying "no, no one is better off if rand fakes his death, not rand and not his loved ones." so i especially think rand's book epilogue scene would ring hollow in the show since s2 has specifically proven that that scenario doesn't work.

some people will harp on about happy endings being uNrEaLIsTIc, but i Do Not Give A Shit!!!! and so far the show has also shown that it's not interested in grimdark for grimdark's sake and that, like the books, it doesn't shy away from showing trauma and tragedy and yet still chooses hope & togetherness over cynicism & isolation at the end of the day, and so i think it feels very plausible for the show to give rand a bit more hopeful of an ending. (i guess the books TRIED to give him a hopeful ending what with him thinking happily about how he can travel around by himself and not be recognized, but it just felt false to me that that's the sort of thing that would make rand happy - in large part because show!rand was the first version i ever met, and i subconsciously carried his homebody caregiver stay-at-home dad-ness with me into the books even though he wasn't REALLY like that in the books in the way he is in the show. so that feels like further evidence that book!epilogue wouldn't work for show!rand.)

now as for the bodyswap, that's so tricky to imagine what the show might do. on the one hand, rand cannot fade into anonymity and be allowed to rest and set down his duties if he keeps his same body and will still be recognized wherever he goes. on the other hand, imagining rand's final moments in the whole show being portrayed by some random new actor instead of josha is so freaking sad! sad for us and sad for josha! it's fine in a book where we're in rand's head and can feel that he's still him even though he tells us he looks different, but in a visual medium, spending up to 8 seasons with josha as rand only to have his final moments be portrayed by a completely different person..........the emotions just wouldn't hit the same, it wouldn't feel like a proper sendoff for rand. granted, if moridin's actor had been in the show for several seasons already (and whether they would cast a new actor as moridin or bring fares fares back and just have the character still be called ishamael is another question i can't predict) then we'd be attached to him too by the finale, so maaaaaybe it could still feel emotional, but never as emotional as if it were josha doing that scene.

so i'm stuck here because story-wise it makes more sense for rand to get a new face, but TV-wise it's not sensible to have one of the main characters played by a different actor in their final scene(s). the potential solution to this would be, no bodyswap but have rand disguise his face with an illusion when in public so that he doesn't get recognized as the dragon reborn and get hassled.

so, okay, here's what i would do: rand wakes up in the healing tent still in his original body, but then he disguises himself and leaves the tent. he passes by his own funeral going on and slips away into the night, after exchanging a meaningful look with his partners who can sense that this stranger is him thanks to the bonds. then, cut to a proper epilogue scene of josha-as-rand undisguised in the privacy of his own home, watching his kids play with his partners by his side (and maybe all his friends and tam too if they REALLY feel like spoiling me haha) just like he told us in 1x01 he always dreamed of :')

[elizabethraywrites]

Hello there!

I have been following your fan fiction for a while now and I’m in love with your writing. So, I’m so ecstatic that you’re continuing to write and publish your own book! I will definitely read it when it comes out. I’m more than certain it will be wonderful.

You can answer this privately or anonymously, and it’s 100% okay if you don’t want to answer, because it’s a bit of a personal question.

I want to publish my own book as well, but there’s so many steps I don’t know of. If you don’t mind me asking, is it difficult to publish a book? How do you do it?

I’m so sorry if this is personal, and by all means, you don’t have to answer. It’s just been my dream to publish a book for so long, and I wanted to gather information so I know what comes ahead as a writer.

Thank you! <3

Hi!

Thank you so much for bringing your love for my fanfiction over here to my own original work. Your support truly fuels me on the daily. I can't wait to share my original work one day.

I've been holding off on answering this Ask because I wasn't sure if I was qualified enough to answer it, but I've been motivated recently by the empowering thought of, "fuck it..." so here we go. 🙂

First of all, I'm so happy you wish to publish your own book as well!! The amount of people attempting to publish a book, self or traditional, admittedly feels alarmingly saturated at times, but I always have to remind myself that my story matters and it is unique. Yours is too, whatever it may be! There's an endless amount of stories to be told and that is a beautiful thing; it is not something that should deter us from doing what we love.

To be honest, I still don't know everything that needs to be done in order for me to self-publish a book. Or maybe I do and I've just been overwhelmed by the amount of information that is out there.

This checklist is something that has been extremely helpful to me. There are so many things I hadn't thought about such as taxes and ISBNs and everything it takes to design a cover. There are a lot of things that Amazon helps you do if you choose to go through them, such as a cover template and automatically giving you an ISBN.

I would say, overall, it is difficult. But this is coming from me as a writer that has yet to become an author. I'm sure once I do self-publish something for the first time, it'll come easier to me. Obviously lol. But I am absolutely still in the researching and learning phase of it all.

Other random tips you didn't ask for, but ones that came to mind while answering this:

I would have a large chunk of your writing done before you go to make an socials or following, as much as possible before you decide that it's impossible to contain your excitement any longer

On the topic of social media...do not try to take on all platforms. Find one or two that you truly enjoy creating content for and focus on those. Trying to do it all is encouraged yet unrealistic

Reach out to people that are on this journey or have already published something. It's always nice to talk to people who have already done what you're striving to do

Most importantly, try your very hardest to not be discouraged by the success of others, whether it be what they've published, the attention they're getting compared to you, etc. Comparison is inevitable and the resulting imposter syndrome can be crippling at times. But you are important, your story is important, and your success will come to you.

I wish you nothing but the best of luck in pursuing your dreams! What a magical time for you. ❤️

definitely wanna see what the guys’ responses woukd be to annie and george’s nephew dating LOL

oh yes I have so many thoughts about this.

(also, I know this is unrealistic, but... let me dream, this is fanfic okay)

✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿✿❀✿

SO I'm thinking Annie meets George's nephew, Oscar, when she's quite young. 7/8 years old, maybe. he's a year older than her, and at the start, they're just mates.

they don't see each other often because he lives in Manchester and she lives in London. so they're friendly at events, but honestly, they maybe catch up once a year. but that all changes when oscar gets to secondary/ high school and ge comes to live with George in London!

Annie is about 15 when they become closer friends. They start hanging out in school, and she even starts to tutor him in English.

george, matty, Annie, and Oscar are all at the studio one day and chatting over lunch when George brings up some homework Oscar has to do. He does the typical teenage boy grunt and complains.

"Mate, I know it's annoying, but you've got to get your English grade up before you take your exams," George says before taking a sip of his tea.

"Annie's doing great in English. Do you want her to come and help you, mate?" matty suggests.

neither of them notice the distinct red flush that covers Annie and Oscars' cheeks. They're both already crushing on each other, and the idea of hanging out even more is incredible scary and exciting.

george agrees, as do Annie and Oscar, and she starts coming over every Thursday for tutoring sessions! matty and George are stupid and don't suspect anything, so they usually go to the studio at the same time to get some work done.

little do they know, behind the scenes that Annie and Oscar have admitted they like each other and have started a little relationship. it takes a few weeks to begin, but it's really sweet when it does.

so Annie tells matty and teacher girlie that she has a boyfriend after Oscar officially asks her with some flowers and a card. matty is taken aback and wants to know who he is, but Annie is wise enough not to tell.

Ironically enough, almost the exact same day, Oscar tells George he had a girlfriend. George is over the moon for him and tells him that, and then immediately calls matty to gossip because they really are teenage girls.

"Oscar has got a girlfriend!!" George whispers down the phone, giggling and watching Oscar typing on his phone with a cheesy grin on his face.

"No way! annie just told me she has a boyfriend! that's such crazy timing. " matty responds dumbly, truly having 0 idea that those two things could be connected. but in all fairness to him, neither do you or George.

cut to a few months later, Annie and Oscar have been officially dating for 4 months and have managed to keep exactly who they're dating under wraps.

until today.

it's a typical Thursday, Annie and matty come over to George's, and the boys leave them to go to the studio. but when they get there, it's closed.

It turns out a pipe burst in the building, so it's shut down for today. the water is nowhere near their equipment, but still, it needed to be fixed before anyone could go in. so they trudge back to George's house with a plan to smoke a blunt and watch some TV.

imagine their surprise when they walk in to Annie and Oscar kissing on the sofa. nothing too crazy, just teenagers being teenagers. but they're ever so slightly horizontal, and to say the boys freak out it an understatement.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY DAUGHTER. GET OFF OF HER! OFF, OFF" matty shouts, storming in and shooing Oscar off of annie. both the boys stand a little way back as they try and assess the situation. everyone is still clothed, but both blazers are off, and Oscars hair has clearly had hands running through it.

obviously, annie and Oscar both shoot back with wide eyes, realising that the little cover they had was not totally blown. Oscar scrambles of the sofa and stands up very straight, staring at matty and George fucking terrified.

matty is just managing to hold himself back, but when he sees Oscars hand go up to his lips and wipe off Annie's lip gloss, he just about breaks and comes storming even closer. he's not going to fight a 16 year old, he's not that stupid. but he is about to shout at one.

george scrambles over with him and stands next to him, still processing what the fuck is happening. he flicks his eyes to Annie, who is staring up at him terrified, and he just shakes his head at her and turns back to Oscar and matty.

matty is scarily calm now, "what did we just walk into. what is happening here." Oscar tries to answer, but matty cuts him off.

he turns to Annie and says, "I thought you had a boyfriend! what the fuck is going on"

george chimes in too, "yeah, and what about your girlfriend! I can't believe you would do this"

Oscar clears his throat, and matty turns to face him with a clenched jaw, "Annie is my girlfriend. and I'm her boyfriend. I thought that was kinda clear by the whole kissing thing." annie smiles and lovingly giggles at her boyfriend, but shuts up real quick when matty shoots her a look.

"mate. do you really think you should be joking right now. I just caught you on top of someone who I basically consider my daughter, " George says. which obviously causes Annie and Oscar to loudly proclaim "EWWW" at that thought.

Annie stands up then and bravely walks over to Oscar and holds his hand, much to matty and George's dismay.

"Look. I get that this is very shocking, but it has been like 4 months, guys. we're actually happy, I promise. " she gives a weak smile to the boys before turning to Oscar, who has the biggest grin on his face and squeezes her hand.

matty and George, however, are still pissed.

"I don't care. you betrayed my trust. and George's trust. I can't believe you would do this. Annie C'mon, we're leaving. " matty snaps his fingers and starts to walk away, Annie lets out a small whine of protest but is quickly shut up by george shaking his head at her.

she gives Oscar a quick peck on the cheek, which both matty and George gag at, and goes running off with matty. she turns around to give Oscar one last wave and mouth, "Call me?" At him.

Oscar nods, and before he knows it, she's gone. and now he's standing in his front room with a very disappointed uncle and his uncle's best mate storming away with his girlfriend.

fucking hell.

Hudson and Rex S02E13 - In Pod We Trust

This is a serious episode. Somewhat.

I can't get over the fact that they all want to listen to true crime podcast when not only are they with the police but they deal with murders all the time.

What the hell, dude? Do you not have a home?

Rex: I don't know what the fuck a podcast is but it allows me to eat Charlie's burger while he's distracted so it must be good.

Me neither. Although, in S3 we learn that Charlie had followed the news of a case of a notorious serial killer when he was like in high school, so I guess it's the true crime aspect of it.

"How did he get up there? That dog is a ninja". You haven't seen anything yet.

This is a better cops-done-wrong episode than the one that was written during the BLM movement period. The latter was basically trying to placate the audience and was presenting cops reacting unrealistically as they find out that they're part of the problem, coming off as disingenuous. Cops would not react that way. Still, it's Hudson and Rex, so I don't expect much of a balanced script in terms of that, and I've seen other (bigger and more expensive) crime shows go off the deep end when when the time came to write such episodes. They do try to handle difficult issues respectfully, I'll give them that. However, this is still a cop show. I mean, if you're ashamed that you're making a cop show... don't make it?

lol Jesse saying that the case files from 20 years ago haven't been digitized because they're ancient, in front of Joe who was already a cop back then. "I think you've just bought yourself a one-way ticket to those ancient archives". That's fair.

"I went [to the crime scene] to make sure that you didn't bury the truth, again". There's a misunderstanding. See, Charlie is a good white cop™.

Hi, Vicky, who later got a redemption storyline a lot of characters would have dreamed of.

Rex, huh?

Protestors using the imaginative slogan "Do your jobs". Awful. Do yours, writers.

"But... But... they still love me, right?"

Joe: "We have to be really careful with the optics on this one". You've put an innocent in jail, I think you should care more about that.

She totally said SJDP instead of SJPD. Oops.

Dude, I know Charlie is white but you don't have to tell him a hundred times that this case is a hot potato.

"If you come peacefully, you'll be treated fairly," he says to a man who was wrongly incarcerated for 20 years!

Booking the black guy, releasing the white police guy. I mean... I'd have asked the question too.

Well, that lasted all of 2 minutes. You can argue and have tension for like 5 minutes. It won't kill you guys.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust him just for that. I mean, that was 20 years ago. During which Joe continued climbing the ranks inside the police, which means that he could have easily stopped caring about justice more than he could afford to.

This show's attempts to write some of the jargon and phrases that would otherwise be said in a proper police procedural but can't be said on this "family show" is hilarious. I assume we can't say "ass"? Like, I have no issue believing the actress in her role, I think she's good, but the dialogue...

Enjoying Charlie's on-screen suffering once again.

Joe, like 10 minutes ago: We have to be careful about the optics in this case. Charlie: Nah, I have a murder to solve.

I bet Charlie is reminiscing the good old days where suspects were intimidated by the police right about now.

"You think I murdered Ty for ratings?" People have killed for 20 bucks.

Police corruption in the SJPD is rampant. The only clean cops are our cops lol

Okay, you need at least a second paperclip, amateur. Also, in the second shot, the paperclip is not blue.

I like that line. And she's partially right. Except for the whole murder thing.

I can't help thinking that Joe was right not to get involved further back then. That way, he kept his job, he survived a toxic environment, and even managed to rise to a rank where he can now make an actual difference. And he kept his soul. I'm sure if we were to delve deeper into it, we'd have seen the cost of that on his conscience, but it still led him to where he is now. And where he is now is not a bad place. Camilla cannot understand any of that because she hasn't been nor will she ever be in that position.

Well, turns out they did all this for nothing as Tyler had recorded his own confession and it just arrived to Phoebe a few days after solving the case.

Yeah... I don't think Romeo would want to see a cop within a hundred yards ever again. But we have to get our happy cheesy ending.

A Dreamling Fic

It is really really really unusual for me to get a fic fully-formed in my brain all at once, but I was enjoying this post and I got to the one that was Hob and Dream labeled with "well-read jock / buff nerd" and this high school AU just kind of exploded on me, and I just wordvomited it at the Cohort and they did nothing to discourage me, and it's been quietly refining itself in the back of my brain since then. I have no idea if I will try to actually write this but if anyone else wants the idea, please take it! And link me when you're done because I definitely want to read it!

Okay, so Dream is done with elementary/primary school and he's about to start the 6th grade (or whatever the equivalent is for UK I guess but if I write it they're going to be surprise usamericans because I'm not doing that much research). It's a new school, one of those grade 6-12 academies. It's the first day of school and all the students are kind of wandering around in the schoolyard waiting for schedules to be handed out (which yes is totally unrealistic, just shhh go with it). Dream is terrified; the older kids are like three times his size and everyone is very loud and boisterous and there aren't any good corners to hide in here.

His big sister, knowing him as she does, rolls her eyes and takes his hand and drags him over to the area where most of the other new 6th graders are congregating and says, "Look, you're going to be with these people for the next 7 years, you have to make a friend."

Dream glares at her but she just glares back, so he turns to the nearest other kid and says, "We're friends now. What's your name?"

And the kid's name is Hob, and he's like super excited to make a new friend and maybe this won't be completely terrible.

Except that Dream and Hob are not in the same classes. Or the same lunch block. Or anything. And they don't really see each other at all.

But the next year, when everyone's wandering around waiting for schedules, Dream spots Hob and walks over like, "Hello Hob" and Hob just goes with it, he's like, "Hey it's my friend, awesome!" And that year... they also do not have any of the same classes or lunch or anything.

And so it goes. Every year, Dream finds Hob on the first day of school while they're milling around, and every year, that's the last time they really see each other. And in the meantime, Dream is a quiet nerdy goth introvert who never talks to anyone if he can help it, and Hob is getting into trouble and charming his way out of it and he has a bad patch one year but then pulls himself out of it and tries a whole bunch of different clubs and sports and pretty much everyone likes him.

And then sometime over the summer before 11th grade, they both realize that they, you know, LIKE-like each other. And while Hob is now immediately excited to see Dream again, Dream is having a horrible case of "oh shit I'm GAY" panic because despite being a moody introvert he's about as good at understanding himself as a cabbage.

School starts and Dream locks it down and comes over to say hi to Hob like always and Hob is suddenly like, "Hey! You know what, we get to learn to drive this year and after I get my license how about we get together away from school and go do something! Like a date!" and Dream (who is still firmly in the closet and panicking about it) massively overcompensates and is like "How dare you I'm not gay and even if I was I wouldn't even like you!" and storms off.

And, you know, same thing, they don't see each other for the rest of the year. Hob broods about it some and figures he'll just apologize when he sees Dream and they can go back to their weird friendship, it's all cool. But 12th grade starts and Dream... isn't there. Hob looks all over, but. No Dream. Fuck.

And then, halfway through the year or so, Hob's in the library working on his senior project and the chair across from his pulls out and he looks up and... it's Dream.

And Dream is like... his folks split up the previous summer and there was a whole custody thing and he had to go live with his crazy Uncle Roderick and horrible cousin Alex in another state and he absolutely hated it. But he just turned 18 and told told Uncle Rod to fuck off, and he moved out and switched back to this school and they can still be boyfriends now right?

[kingkatsuki]

I had a super bizarre dream about Bakugo last night, and it's so accurate to his character I had to share.

So I'm sitting at my vanity trying to braid my hair into pigtails and failing miserably. I keep having to undo them and start over. finally, I have an okay result, but I have no idea what it looks like in the back.  Cue Katsuki walking into the room and coming up behind me. I look at him through the mirror to see him looking at the back of my head and scowling.

"Is it that bad?"

Without missing a beat he responded

"Looks like shit." As if he was going to tell me whether I asked or not.

Frustrated, I aggressively take the braids out to start again, only for Katsuki to snatch the brush and the elastics and wordlessly begin to braid my hair.

Now, has he ever braided hair before? Abso-fucking-lutely not. That doesn't stop him from making the most beautiful, pinterest worthy braids I've ever seen in my life.

It looks like those unrealistic braids you see online with like 5lbs of hair extensions thrown in. My hair isn't even thick, how the fuck did he do that??? They're fluffy, voluminous, shiny. My hair somehow even looks longer??

I gawk between my reflection and him, I'm lost for words, only managing to sputter out "but... wh....how...???"

All he does is shrug and mumble. "How can you be bad at this? It's not even hard."

And walks away with a dumb smirk on his big stupid handsome dumb face.

I love your writing, I'm always excited to see you post, and I thought you might enjoy this random scenario my brain concocted.

You’re so cute, thank you for thinking of me!🥺

I actually think I’ve seen this headcanon a few times where Bakugou is just naturally good at doing hair? Because of course he is🙄 must be exhausting being perfect at everything. (I do love the idea of him getting grumpy when he’s not good at something tho. Like he sucks at mini-golf even tho it should be easy and proceeds to sulk and refuse to play ever again😂)

But also just the softness of him standing behind you and doing your hair? Brows furrowed in concentration as he styles it perfectly😫 and he secretly loves whenever you ask him to do your hair now!

[limeade-l3sbian]

Hi again, it's me, the lesbian anon from a homophobic country, and today I'll give you an insight on my life!

Okay, but seriously, I appreciate you asking and offering help ♥️

I did check programs abroad and all the stuff required and I realised that it is a lot of money! I don't know if I'll ever be able to do this financially and it feels like some unrealistic dream, at least right now. And I wouldn't ask my family for help because we wouldn't be able to make it work at all 😭 I feel like mostly if people go study abroad here, they're from rich or at least like, rich middle class families... and we're not that lmao.

And before you think "oh that's bad", even if one day I'll have money for it, I'm not sure if I want to anymore. I've been thinking a lot and at some point I thought "I move out, then what?" and it made me stuck. I was thinking about moving out because I thought "I just don't want to fight my whole life" but the more I think about it the more I realise that I do in fact want to fight 😂 Maybe it's just some youthful high spirits but I want to be an activist, homophobic country or not, so what will change if I am in, say, Germany instead of here? I'll still have this urge to change things. I mean, I can't say for 100% because still, I am just figuring out what I am doing with my life, but, yeah, I guess I am leaning more towards staying here and maybe not to fight but to change something, or just start something, if I can. I know for sure that I want to try to engage more with other gays here! I want a community! I have a feeling all the change starts with a community, maybe this is what we need. After all, I don't want to just leave my country like this, it's still my home and my culture that I won't be able to protect if I'm not here.

Well, it may not work but I do want to try and if anything happens I know who to ask about moving the hell out of here (if I won't get myself in jail or something lmao) ♥️ Sorry it's not exactly what was asked, I've been thinking about this all for a long time but couldn't get it out anywhere, so that ask was like a green light for me 😂

Anon, that is literally so amazing. Regardless of whether or not it is "realistic", to aspire to play a part in that change is literally so fucking amazing. 💜😭 For whatever it is worth, coming from some rando American, I am crazy proud of you!! 💜💜💜💜

Fall asleep

Immediately have nightmare.

In the nightmare I am also asleep?

Fucking inception type ass shit.

In the nightmare I am also talking in my sleep and possibly singing something though I don't remember what now.

I suspect I was actually doing this in real life too but I can't prove that and my partner isn't home so I can't ask someone else.

Then suddenly a cat is on the bed?

"Well that's not correct," I think in my nightmare, "they're all outside the bedroom. How could a cat be here. I know there aren't any cats in the bedroom."

I open my eyes. Probably in real life, because I have been known to do this in my sleep and it usually results in me having absolutely wild hallucinations.

Absolutely tame hallucination: there is a cat standing on the bed.

"Okay, that still doesn't seem right but I guess that's just what's happening."

(This is also why I don't lucid dream: I will inevitably convince myself that my dream is totally reality, you guys, seriously this is actually happening for realsies.)

The cats in my nightmare start crashing around downstairs and knocking things over and being so loud I'm sure they're destroying the house. Dishes are breaking. Furniture is falling. I'm going to be sweeping glass for a week.

...While Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik in G Major, K. 525: I. Allegro plays, because I can't just have a normal stress nightmare, I have to do it funny style.

Except.

EXCEPT,

Instead of strings, it's entirely played on the Mario Paint meowcat.

Yes I did actually factually wake up in terror from this don't EVEN fucking ask. This is STILL not the stupidest nightmare I've ever had!

Also I had the brain zaps again which is really, really making me think the nightmares are not the cause but a symptom themselves. It's almost always basically immediately upon falling asleep, it's always a nightmare, and I suspect there's some element of sleep apnea involved. Y'know. Despite me religiously using my CPAP. I'm beginning to wonder if I don't have some combo apnea, because I should not be having obstructive apnea episodes, but I sure do wake up like I'm drowning sometimes.

SERIOUSLY THO WHY THE MEOWCAT MUSIC. WHAT WAS SCARY ABOUT THAT I NEED TO KNOW!! Like my nightmares are usually unrealistically on the nose for subject matter but this is just ??? what. Mario Paint Meowcat Mozart? That's what's gonna have me wake up gasping? Okay. Sure. That may as well just happen.

I'll have a large dish of Self-Punishment, with a side of Donuts

You know, I still have vivid dreams about the family. Sitting together and having a laugh with you has become so unrealistic, that I've developed a knack for controlling the subconscious. The brief moments of delirium used to leave my sheets soaked with depleted tears - it's amazing how much water the human body can excrete. I recall vehemently clutching onto anything to stop the flashbacks from playing out, because I knew what the visions could do to me. I never truly got used to it until just under a year ago. I suppose all my therapists would have called it a moment of delayed processing that was yet to unfold for me. "Dom, it's okay if you still miss them. You have to let these things flow through you, even if they're not in your life anymore." I guess they're right in some respects - it ain't so bad now. I buried everyone away ages ago, and to this day I'll still visit your graves in my mind. I keep wanting to say something to everyone. Each time, I've had to remind myself to let it go. The kids probably don't remember me anymore, and even if they did, I'd half expect them to hate me. I’ve changed my appearance, over and over again - each time, another attempt to accept myself in the mirror. Metaphorically killing myself was the better alternative, over the more permanent choice. The chain of memories used to pull me into an endless loop of static noise. No matter how much I tried to process it all, the mental weakness never allowed me to see it for what it was. These days, they’ll play out in 4K HDR, as I smile back for what it was - for what you and I were. I wonder if the word, Donut, triggers anything for you still. Years were spent fighting anything and everything to survive. The wanton rage that endured was difficult to taper off - punishing myself was the only way that I could cope with our new, individual realities. I was only able to forgive the both of us through the love I received from people I never thought I'd give a fuck about. It's been forever and a day since we chose to walk different roads, forging altered identities. Religion has become a moot point for me these days, but I'll continuously pray that you and your family are getting by. All the best,

(sorry i sent so many akjsdkasj)

DUDE I LOVE YOU- (this is going to be so looooooong hehehejejeh *villian laugh*)

a2: How did you find your first fic?

okay, so I first got introduced to fanfiction through wattpad, and in that I think my first fic was Irresistible Poison by rhyssen (it's a drarry fic and OH MY GOD IS IT LIFECHANGING? YES.)

a9: Who was your first ship?

it was Ash Ketchum × Gary Oak from Pokémon lmaoo

b9: Who is your OTP?

HINNY and um, tomarry and drarry. Also, harry × tom × ginny <— that is my ultimate otp.

b10: What is the best plot twist you’ve ever seen?

everything we dream can be real by doshu

the entire fic. Just 🤌🏽 it just plucks up all your expected mundane tropes, and throws them out of the window. It builds a masterpiece. (fair warning: read the tags if planning on reading it.)

c1: What trope are you tired of reading? Why?

unrealistically overpowered harry.

alternatively, harry that is sooooo slytherin and dark that all his base characters are just whoosh, gone into the void.

Look, i love slytherin!harry. but going overboard to the point of completely altering his entire character to the point of no existing similarity other than his name- is not my cup of tea. Like yes, harry is powerful indeed, but to a level. Like some fics really be like: "Harry Potter could perform legilimency from 5 years old and killed the grindelwald with a non verbal wandless avada kedevra at age 11." I especially get this SOOO MUCH when searching for powerful!harry fics with tomarry or any other ships. Its like they wash out and weaken all the other powerful characters to put the spotlight on harry. You know whats more powerful? Harry struggling to survive with the other powerful characters against him but emerging out victorious with a crippling fight. That's our Harry. I love his original character, along with all his flaws and tragedies. A few tweaks are invited but soul-transformation? No.

Also while we're at it, the whole Hadrian Potter-Black-Gryffindor-Peverell thing. Like, please no. Maybe my opinions will change in future though, so who cares lmao.

Edit (i remembered this while answering c7): Shipping hermione with absolutely all Male characters in the entire fucking series. (It gets on my nerves.)

c3: Is there anything that makes you nope out of a story?

Yes actually. Loads of things.

1. Bad grammar 2. Above mentioned Harry irks. 3. Strictly bottom Harry, esp it's drarry. 4. Ginny bashing. 5. Severitus

c4: What thing that fandom loves do you actually kind of hate? Why?

Overly sexualising Draco, making him out to be the straight fuckboy. Dramione fics. (I'm sorry but that wizard is anything but straight.)

ALSO, Snape HERO worship and alternatively making him out to be the WORST GUY in the series. (He's a grey character. There's nothing more to him then grey. He's no hero. And he doesn't have the flair of a villain.)

c5: What character that fandom loves are you just kinda “meh” about? Why?

Mrs. Weasley. Snape. (Most people write them in extremities. I don't like extremities. )

(Kinda hermione and Luna, but if written well, I'd be absolutely invested.) I've yet to read more hermione and Luna centric fics honestly, so that's on me.

(I'm not gonna lie, in some fics I've read, they're really well written. Like, in No Glory by ObsidianPen (hermione), Wackspurts Aren't Real, But I Am by merrivale (luna), Hauntingly by ObsidianPen (snape). Mind you they are all side characters in all these fics.)

c6: Is there anything in canon that made you want to quit the show? What was it? Why did you hate it?

HARRY AND HERMIONE ROMANTIC TENSION. GIVING HERMIONE ALL THE SPOTLIGHT. MAKING RON AS THE ANNOYING ATTENTION SEEKING SPOILT COMEDIC RELIEF. CARDBOARDING GINNY.

does it even REQUIRE an explanation? it's pretty self explanatory, I think yes.

c7: Who is your NOTP?

Dramione, Snarry, anything involving Snape. (That man is not made for romance please, let him stick to flirting with claudrons.)

c8: What is one plot twist you wish people would stop using?

Hmmmmmmmm.... *thinking*

d10: What is one story idea you really want to read but no one has written yet?

1 Tom Riddle travelling to the future. TRAVELLING. NOT appearing out of the diary. Actual time travel.

2. Quidditch player Harry vs Quidditch player ginny. Friends to rivals to lovers. (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 ME WANTTTT)

[lemon-x-peperoncino]

ok so quick thing for my au based on a couple dreams i had mashed together

peperoncino and lemon have to visit the hospital every two days because peperoncino's condition is getting worse

good news tho is peperoncino is getting better at walking

there's a big sports show and peperoncino wants to watch it despite not knowing shit about either team he just wants something to watch at midnight and lemon enjoys watching it with him

peperoncino gets a mattress out of their old things closet but the quality of it is so bad but it isn't moldy or rotting so he just lays on the hard brick and falls asleep on it

the next day they're driving somewhere closer to the hospital because the place they live in is two hours away from there. peperoncino just stares outside of the window and for some reason just plains comes on the radio and peperoncino goes "HOLY SHIT!!!!! IS THAT JUST PLAINS FROM THE VIDEO GAME MADE FOR THE NINTENDO WII RELEASED ON JULY 24, 2008 KNOWN AS 'WARIO LAND: SHAKE IT!?!'"

a day passes and their next hospital visit is soon. they go to the park but it's raining so hard. like it can't even be described as cats and dogs more like fucking tigers and wolves. so peperoncino goes and talks to one of his friends who decided to drive with the two (idk if i should make him a real cookie but i'm thinking he should just be cheese puff cookie for rn). so cheese puff talks to peperoncino about a new game they both want but peperoncino's console has too much storage for it (he wasted all of it on horror games he doesn't even bother playing)

so cheese puff and peperoncino run up to lemon and are like "WE WANNA GO SWIMMING IN THE LAKE" and lemon is like "NO YOU'RE EITHER GONNA GET HYPOTHERMIA OR DROWN"and also some of the most unrealistic worst case scenarios he can think of. peperoncino dramatically runs off crying into a big puddle of water and eventually starts running in mud. cheese puff says "is he okay he's acting like a wild animal" and peperoncino comes back all muddy and cold and goes "maybe... i am..."

so peperoncino gets cleaned up and they drive to the hospital because it's time for them to start driving and nothing in particular happens here

later that day they go and see a new nurse and his nurse is just so kind and gives him stuff. she gives her other patients like plushies and special monthly themed things (this month's theme was a set of trains and probably some buses but it was mainly trains) and lemon says "even she cares about you you don't need to be worried"

so they go back and wait for another nurse because peperoncino is going in for a surgery and they need to wait for another hour for the designating or to be done

so they get called down and they enter the sedation room which is super fucking cold and has a comforting blue tint to it and peperoncino gets anesthesia and. my thoughts just end here Augh

i might add on to this based on other dreams i had or have after this but there's the plot for my lemoncino thing for now

it might be an official chapter if i ever make the fic :3

[handsomegentlebutch]

Top 5 daydream scenarios.

I spend a lot a time daydreaming, so I was wondering if you had a favorite theme/scenario that plays out when you get distracted.

ooohhh okay okay. fuck this is hard but i'll try and narrow it down bc i also day dream a lot

whatever i'm writing about/planning for my motw game. once i have an idea it possesses my every thought until i can get it out, planned, and on paper where it will lay in wait to bite my friend's characters. right now i'm half working on the next big arc (i'm calling it "Magical (Murderer) Mystery Tour" and half finishing some stuff for this sunday's session. one of the pcs ran a background check on the other (they're still adjusting to the group and are really sus of each other) and her father was murdered when she was 13. i'm writing up the police report and crafting crime scene photos that he'll find. and some fun flavor stuff the player gave me about their character :3

whatever is going on in the vtm game my friend runs. i think about the npcs and our pcs so much. amadora deluca. my babygirl. my precious little meow meow. party wizard. blood freak. queen of suppressing her emotions (esp of anger and grief). mean femme lesbian icon. best vampire. can and will shoot to kill and you will thank her for it (as you should.)

Hanging w my longtime internet friends irl. i've known one 10+ years and the other 5+ years. they're in the ttrpg group that i play the above mentioned games with. i met one them SUPER briefly after they were coming home from the UK meeting our other friend when they had a layover in my city but. damn i just wanna hang out with my friends in the flesh zone. i'd kill to play one of our games in person and thats only kind of a joke. i met my british friend a few years ago in 2018, but a death in my family kinda cut the fun short, so it would be nice to have an irl visit not overshadowed by grief

i day dream about meeting the love of my life a lot. its always like... vague feelings and scenarios that leave me with butterflies in my stomach. embarrassing. i try to be vague about my future wife on purpose, even in my day dreams, bc i don't wanna set up unrealistic or idealistic expectations for someone i haven't met yet. doesn't seem fair to my future wife and also tbh? a lil unhealthy on my part. like its fine to day dream, i think its good to be a bit of a dreamer but i also don't want to be maladaptive about it, u know?

sex stuff. embarrassing how horny i am. maybe i'm just lonely and touch starved, which i'm sure is some of it. its actually almost a year since i've been hugged by a non-family member. its also been almost a year since i've had sex which is... depressing tbh. i'm a whore in theory and not in practice. so. i think about it a lot. i like to think me day dreaming about sex will make me braver and a better flirt but... i know my audience (me) far too well lmao
