#i hope this doesnt come off as an upsetting ask bc i do think you meant well and appreciate the kind words !

[yinyuedijun]

i think i just HAVE to get this off my chest but i really, really, REALLY, loved zero-sum game.. i would say i dont read fanfic too much? mainly because the works i find are -- un impactful? or i move on quite soon after reading it but zsg really stuck with me till now.

it was so good!! i'm not good at analyzing and im not sure what exactly i liked.. the plot or maybe the writing style? i feel like each sentence really created an effect/impact that added so much to the paragraph 😭

midway through i realized it was actually pretty long and not just like. 5 paragraphs which im not used to (short attention span) but i didnt care I KEPT READING BC THAT WAS TOP TIER...

i havent been into fics lately so i thought i'd be kinda critical in an almost hateful way (i'm sorry for that. i shouldnt have been judgemental.) BUT I COULDNT FIND IT IN ME TO HATE!!! THE MORE I READ I KEPT THINKING "oh that was GOOD.. oh this was tastefully written, fuck i love this work" and i didnt want it to end

anyways, thank you for listening. i absolutely loved it, i followed instantly, and my only complaint is that now you've got me absolutely down bad for aventurine (carnally, and emotionally obsessed) he might be my fav character a lot more now

have a wonderful day/night !!

hi thank you so much for the very kind feedback on zsg! it genuinely makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed the execution of the fic so much and was a pleasant surprise for you. I also am glad to hear that I got you down bad for aventurine bc I think everyone should be 😇

that being said, while I believe your ask was written with nothing but good intentions and thank you genuinely for it, I do feel the need to say that this app and other websites are filled with very hard-working and talented writers. I prefer that people don't put down other fanfics in the process of complimenting my writing. I can in fact reassure you that there's fic much more impactful than zsg out there and I hope you'll be able to approach them with an open mind sometime !!

could you do more johnny and curly interacting and their little rival thingy cause of ponyboy (y'know what i mean)

how u gonna tell me what i know🤨🤨

•theyve literally never interacted before hand, they rlly just dont rock together, they dont even have a reason to beef w each other, they rlly just do not like each other that much right off the bat and johnnys like the only one in the curtis gang where thats the case

•those feelings only grew when pony got w curly, johnny would try to be respectful towards curly but curly just brushes him off

•their rivalry is more lowkey id say, compared to everyone else its not THAT bad, they mostly talk down about the other only to pony, never to their faces

•johnny is a lil scared of the shepards so he doesnt say anything that might anger him, shit he doesnt even allow himself to be left alone w the guy, but thats more so bc he thinks it would be awkward, so if ponys leaving, johnny trails right behind

•if johnny has something to say about curly, he only tells pony, he doesnt want what he says to be spread around and then next thing u know theres an angry shepard in front of his face

•when it comes to curly, COULD he talk badly about johnny to his face?? yea he could, but pony would be very upset w him if he did and curly just doesnt see the point because “the guy already seems like a scaredy cat”

•shit they dont rlly make eye contact either, johnny kinda looks at him but not for long, curly doesnt look at johnny bc of general disinterest/aloofness, he has nothing in common w johnny in his eyes so he sees no purpose, they arent gonna connect the way pony hopes

•johnny HATTTEEEESSSS when curlys flirty w pony while hes right there, if theyre getting flirty, johnny mumbles that maybe they shouldnt do that here bc its wide in the open, curly makes eye contact w johnny, asking “what was that??” bc he rlly didnt hear him (also bc he doesnt like being told what to do) and johnny looks away, pony just agrees w johnny and turns it down a bit, telling curly to calm down too

•johnny is like the only one willing to give pony and curly a chance however, pony obviously sees something the rest of em dont, but that doesnt mean hes not worried for pony being around curly, he constantly tells pony “i hope u know what ur doing”

•curly does get johnny riled up sometimes tho, curly can make ANYONE upset

•but what rlly gets johnny upset is when curly calls him a kid even though hes literally older than him, that rlly grinds johnnys gears

🌇👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 Save File Progress - Newcrest

Newcrest is almost done! Here's some of the current households:

 1. The Greene Family: It's always 'wheres da DILF' and never 'how's the DILF.' smh. Marco is quite the ladies man, and while attention is nice, everyone treats his beloved wife Margaret less than ideal. Everyone thinks Marco should be with someone 'his own speed' and not an 'old hag' like Margaret. Marco does not stand for any kind of verbal abuse towards his wife, who gave him three wonderful children and a beautiful home. Marco adores Margaret, and anyone chasing after his heart can go look elsewhere; his heart belongs with her!

2. The Li Family: After losing her husband to old age, Chu-Hua was living alone with her cat, Bao. Sue-Ann asked her mother to move in with her so she can care for her as she gets older. Chu-Hua doesnt expect much, but Sue spoils her to no end! All she wants are grandkids, but Sue doesn't know if she's ready for that yet, She's so focused on her careers that she hardly ever thinks about dating. Chu-Hua is confident, however, and has even begun knitting baby clothes in hopes she gets a grandchild before she passes

3. College Buds: Alina + Dee [bottom row] started dating their senior year of college. After graduation, they decided to move in together and have Alina's other friends Dustin and Liv join them to help offset living costs. Things have been going pretty well so far, except for some of Dee's recent behavior. Alina has been finding her way too jealous and controlling, and now she's started constantly writing stuff in a little notebook that's quite off putting...

 4. The Puente Family: My boyfriend made this family and now I feel obligated to keep them bc he spent hours on them... I promised him they'd live a great life so please be nice to them if you run into them, thank u.

 5. The Chamberlain Family: Katy never thought she'd be a grandmother at this age, but her teen daughter Bella got pregnant too soon. Katy was furious and upset, but what could she do? Kick her daughter out and risk something happening to her? That wasnt an option. Bella already hates herself, her body and her life enough, Katy doesn't need to add onto it. Bella is attending school, working, and is soon going to start taking college classes. She needs Katy's support now more than ever, and while Katy still can't look at the baby in the eyes yet, she's sure she'll come around soon enough... She just feels like she failed her teenage daughter.

 6. The Fraziers: Rumor has it that Famous Musician Nathanial and his wife Julianne were going to get divorced, but that got put on hold when she showed up with a positive pregnancy test. Nathanial never had a father growing up, and he sure as hell wasnt going to put his baby through the same thing. Against his better judgement, he decided to try and work on his marriage with Julianne, for the baby's sake. although, people are starting to get suspicious of her 'conveniently timed' pregnancy...

Heyo, Idk if you still do sagau but I hope you do 🙏🙏 anyway, this is lowkey wholesome but imagine one of acolytes were trying to communicate with a child but then they realize the child is deaf but reader so happened to be nearby. So then, whatever the character is saying the reader translates into sign language and its just a wholesome sight to see. Btw srry if this isn't what you usually write 😓 add anything to this if you want

OH NO THIS IS EXACTLY ALL THAT I WRITE RN ANON DW MY LOVE 😍

(*update: im so stupid i thought ur sunglasses pfp was a anon and didnt look any closer💀i aint livin this one down)

(Spoiler: i do plan to do imagines for other fandoms bc i have such niche AUs or ideas for them, a lot like this whole language stuff for Genshin Sagau :D )

IVE WANTED TO LEARN ASL FOR SO LONG BUT I HAVENT GOTTEN THE CHANCEEE theres no classes for it where i live ;/

THAT IS TO SAY I LIVEEE FOR COMMUNICATION STUFFFFF

Also srry its kinda short i just could only think of this cute little scenario- 😗

Rest in peace bc i have a whole fat post i wanna make about neurodivergence + general accessibility issues in Teyvat and their countries

Like where r the ramps babe

Where r the non-narrow ass doors

Why r we just constantly made to hike up mountains when we dont have to

And dont come at me with that,

"Theyre in their medieval age! They cant make stuff like that!"

Yeah, u right, they cant.

If they dont be ✨️creative ✨️and they dont use their fucking ✨️magic ✨️

Liyue got floating rocks and they cant make a goddamn disability elevator?? Bitch tf?

THAT IS TO SAY IN A VERY RANTING COUGHPASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AT GENSHIN COMMUNITY FOR NOT REPPING DISABILITIES MORECOUGH

WAY OF SAYINGGGG

Literally almost no one gets sign language in Teyvat

(despite the fact that in my perfect teyvat, sign lang. is superior bc everyone could make it the universal lang. ESP if we go by the cool AU of diff countries have diff languages, like Germanish lang for Mondstadt, Frenchish for Fontaine, etc.)

Off topic again srry-

◇

But you took a class once!! Or even checked out the alphabet and casual convo on ur own time :D

So u just chillin with Kazuha, Thoma, Sara, Gorou, and Kokomi (they vistin the main island to see u!! :] )

Meanwhile a little girl is walking around nearby, and is kinda going in circles

Almost like shes scared to go too far one way or the other,

So being the caring soul he is, (rlly all these boys here rn would notice and help lol)

Thoma comes up to her and squats down trying to talk to her :)

...

Yeah, she didn't say anything, just kinda,,

Motioned with her hands??

She looks like shes doing some kind of code to them..

Oh!

Thoma finally recognized this, its that hand language!! lmao hes got the spirit

so he asks Kazuha to try and see if he knows it or can even figure it out-

Nope. Nada de nada.

Then Kokomi, Sara and Gorou (whos a sweatin nervous mess he doesnt know how to act around kids esp kids in distress he seems like the type lol)

They all fail, Kokomi looks concerned bc she thinks the kids lost, but there no frantic parents nearby, Sara is trying to slowly understand what motions mean what i.e. points to a rock = learn sign from child etc,

Kazuha is trying to get the wind to help locate upset guardians nearby, and Gorou...

... is just 🧍‍♂️

LMAOOO

◇

So after a minute of this (bc u had originally been away at a street food vender, hey those dango were rlly good dont judge urself)

U come back, and see this mild flavor of chaos-

And are just like

"Oh ffs- just shoo, i got it guys"

And just, slowly, go thru some signs with the little girl to get the keywords at least

She lights up and is like bouncing, she goes hella fast at first but slows down when she gets ur hearing

Either way, she looks a lot happier now

U explain for her to the others to confirm her parents got seperated from her

She got lost and where she last saw them

u finally help escort her to the street she last saw her parents on :] !!

◇

Meanwhile the whole allogene group, shopkeepers, and Inazumans around you:

😦😯🥰🥺💓💞💘💖

Kokomi is holding back a squeal, shes gotta keep up her image, ahem-

Sara is like,, minutely vibrating?? Lmao

Kazuha is watching u like a fireworks show, intensely and yet fascinated

GOROU'S TAIL IS KINDA WAGGINGGG AW LOL

And Thoma just looks like a puddle of affection, just absolutely melted (he loves kids + he secretly loves you = dead Thoma)

Other people look weirdly, proud? Like theyre like "yeah thats our god, fuck yeah, knowing diff languages, go off, Your Grace 💅 " LMAO SORRY COULDNT RESIST and also some fascination

♡

Anyway, 2 very stressed looking dads see yall and the girl and one of them run up to hold each other

She starts rapidly signing, explaining to her dads the adventure she had and the cool people she met <3

The dads look at u and r like 🤔😶😱 "YOUR MAJESTY??!!" (VIGOROUS HAND MOTIONS)

They sign like,

"We're terribly sorry about you seeing us like this, we usually are much more together than this, a crowd just swept her off, its very busy today. Thank you so much for helping our girl, my Lord!! 😭😭"

Theyre like almost crying, oh geez, u reassure them and sign back that it happens to any parent at some point and that is matters more that they tried to get her back :]

◇

Meanwhile the rest of the group and the citizens are just watching yall like its the most amazing Olympic level tennis match in the world LMAO

Heads all in sync, watchin yall like 👋👍🙏LMAO IM SORRY

AW IT SUCKS ABOUT WRITING BC I CANT RLLY DEPICT SIGN LANGUAGE AS COOL AS I CAN IN COMICS OR THRU ART

THE EMOJI HANDS NEED SIGN LANGUAGE DAMMIT-

♡

I know the reason why Branch never mentioned having brothers before was because the creators only thought them up for the third movie and then they had to find a storyline that would fit into the movie’s canon.

But I’m curious to know what’s your opinion on Branch’s brothers?

I mean, I know how you portray them in your AU, but I curious 👀 about your honest opinion of them based on what we learned from the movie.

I don’t know if anyone has asked this before and apologize if have and I couldn’t find it.

i like brozone! jd has been... soured for me after seeing how the fandom treats him but hes still funny when you dont have a bitch in your ear telling you he did nothing wrong

jd: i think jd was abusive. people get mad at me for saying this, but i dont care; he was in charge of his younger brothers and he worked them to the bone, he forced clay to wear underwear he hated and take photoshoots in them for gods sakes! thats freak behaviour! i think a lot about how he treated them, either directly stated by canon (the underwear thing) or inferred by canon + how theyd be treated irl (on top of the super strict workout routine bruce was probably kept on a super strict diet too, dehydrated to make his abs POP, he was MISERABLE). plus the fact he feels absolutely zero sympathy, he just says he "had a lot of responsibility", implying that his brothers should feel grateful for how he "took care of them" 🤮 ELECTRIC CHAIR! i do like how hes so full of himself though, i like how eric andre says he thinks hes the "alpha male" and thats something i feel like a lot of people are missing wrt his characterisation. hes not some cool, rugged, charming guy out in the forest; hes the guy who says he could TOTALLY survive a zombie apocalypse, guys!

bruce and clay: people have literally no reason to get mad at them for leaving the pod, im sorry. they were teenagers who moved out of the house, best case scenario because they hated their big brother, WORST case bc they were escaping ABUSE! yeah, they could have said bye to branch, yeah, they MIGHT have been able to keep in touch (for clay we dont know how long he was bumming around the tree before the last trollstice happened, i do think it was a few years though), but why are we acting like them MOVING OUT is some big crime? they werent gonna stay in the nest forever! BRANCH can be upset, he missed his brothers! we can sympathise with branch! that doesnt mean we need to DEMONISE them for not lying down and letting jd control their lives! bruce was a bit of a dick to branch though but its okay bc they made up. clay however did NOTHING wrong, put some respect on his name 😤

floyd: idk why both the fandom and the movie act like floyd is the only brother who didnt hurt branch, when hes the one who should have hurt him the MOST! he PROMISED hed come back, likely knowing he wouldnt, while the other three just said "sayonara, dont get your hopes up, see you never". floyd gave branch hope that theyd see each other again, and then fucked off for 20 years, not even TRYING to find branch! obviously floyd is my favourite, but most of that i freely admit is like... conjecture, and headcanon, and in the movie itself we really dont know anything about him other than "is gay" and "got branchs hopes up, only to let them get crushed". hes kinda an asshole! which could be fun, but everyone, including the writers ignore it! i kinda hope in the cartoon theres an episode that addresses how floyd never visited. i mean, even the movie says that jd TRIED to visit but found the empty troll tree and assumed everyone was dead! did the same happen to floyd? or did he just not care? without clarification you kinda gotta assume the latter, but im really excited to find out what secondary canon has to say about it!

[zxal]

do you have any characterization tips for skuld/subject x. asking for a friend

INHALES REALLY HARD. skuld is a leader. it makes perfect sense that she was chosen by ava. she keeps a level head and acts as a support for the others when things get dire. I get the impression that she plays things off as not a big deal even if it really bothers her, like when player first meets her and she tells them about how she used to be friends with ephemer but then he abandoned her and she's like "i used to be really upset about it but now i'm over it :)" girl (shaking her) you can be mad ITS OK. skuld cares a lot about doing things the "right way" ("they're rules. of course they're set in stone.") but also has a strong sense of right & wrong and sometimes that comes into conflict (doesn't want to agree to shift pride even though it's in the rules bc she doesn't like the idea of keyblade wielders fighting each other). she carries a lot of weight on her shoulders even before she becomes a union leader ("i can't just sit back and wait for the end to come") and feels responsible for the rest of the dandelions (telling elrena to go to the real world because the union leaders are the ones responsible for daybreak town's destruction). she keeps it together until it's the very end & she's literally lost all hope ("i'm glad i don't have to face the end alone") and even then she is still TRYING to keep it together. no one is allowed to see her fall apart. not even ephemer. especially not ephemer

meanwhile a lot of my interpretation of subject x is informed by the fact that it's been 10 years for her and she still doesnt remember anything and what must that be like - but she remembers the boys who used to visit her & even though we don't get to see much of subject x's perspective I think she has the potential to be just as obsessive and self-destructive about them as isa is about her. i think if subject x knew isa & lea were in danger there would be no survivors. but she doesn't so she's like "i wonder if they remember me :(" while isa is sacrificing himself over and over and over and over for her sake the whole time. subject x is skuld with the limiters removed. do you know what i mean. i've been trying to divorce my thoughts about subject x from my thoughts about skuld JUST IN CASE the worst case scenario (subject x not being skuld) comes true ... they will always be the same in my heart but i think it still really works to interpret them as two distinct characters, especially considering subject x still doesn't remember anything (& aren't we familiar with the question of are you the same person without your memories?) - you can have a really fun time playing with the idea of her having a fractured sense of self I think. ANYWAY. EXHALES. She's my girl she's everything to me she has so many problems she is never ever ever going to talk about

[misfithive]

Thank you for the way you handled that ask about Wille's and Simon's drama. Because that sentence 'On the other hand, Simon needs to have a bit of more drama thrown at him' made me so furious. It was so insensitive! The fact that he suffers in silence and alone in his room not to bother other people doesn't mean he doesn't suffer enough and needs some more! The fact that he didn't jump on the table or say he feels like dying doesn't make his experience any less traumatic than Wille's. What he needs is to process his trauma rather than brushing it aside, not to get some more.

Once again thank you, you put it all beautifully.

Yes 😭 this is a very common hope for Simon to get pushed to the point of a breakdown but it’s like .. at what cost?😩 He has been thru enough trauma for a lifetime and a half. And the thing is, most people cannot actually stop and process the trauma if they are constantly being hit with more. I think we are more likely to get simon opening up if he is able to find safety which he did not really have. he is expected to be the strong one by everyone in his life. His friends try their best but still, telling him to rebound is the same message him mother gives him of “you are strong”. Bc they dont want him to sit with his feelings and cry (it’s uncomfortable and not the norm for them), they want him to forget about the Prince and move on. Up until s3 he has not had someone to cry to- thats why he writes his songs and holds wille’s sweater. Even when he is talking to Rosh and Ayub in the kitchen if he was actually crying to them i feel they would show it- it appears he probably cried on the way home before they came (this is my hc if yall think he cried to them u can believe that if u want)

i think Simon’s character is very accurate to what a lot of men, people socialized as men, and also people of color experience and how we deal with our emotions. I get that for a lot of people it is cathartic to sob but for many of us, crying like that especially in front of someone else is terrifying. we are conditioned that letting other people see u in that vulnerable state is a weakness (puts you in danger or will be used against you & that anger is safer). I know some men who have not cried since they were children and told me they dont even remember what it feels like to cry or how to actually let the tears fall from their eyes. It is messed up. Is that fair? No. Is it true that it is a weakness? No. But not everyone learns that. The patriarchy sucks and harms us all lol i wish people would understand that and have empathy for the deep sadness that simon is carrying and hiding whether he lets it out or not.

Not to mention everyone deals with their trauma differently and i think it is cool that the show is realistic and shows people dealing with things in different ways. Simons character is relatable bc of this and instead of people saying “it’s not fair that Wille gets to express himself in this way and Simon doesn’t” i want people to think about WHY Simon is not be able to. I know wanting simon to cry comes from a good place but it does upset me a little bit bc even if he doesnt have a breakdown s3, that doesnt mean that the writers hate him and arent doing his story justice which is what people say abt s2. At the same time, if he does have a break down, that would be totally warranted. i'm just saying that if it doesn't happen that's valid too.

THAT BEING SAID. I think s3 is a great opportunity for Simon to hear from Wille that he doesnt always have to be strong and that Wille can be a reliable safe space. I think Wille’s tenderness is something that Simon sees and now that they are on good terms and Wille has worked to rebuild the trust, I hope Simon will turn to Wille for emotional support however that looks.

Ermmmn I’m very sorry that this turned into a dump but i had to get it off my chest.(made a few edits for clarity and spelling mistakes bc i posted this in the middle of the night)

[lastritesbish]

your art is literally gorgeous but i just wanted to ask like whether you have a dislike of lesbians or something? like i know greaseball is never specified as a lesbian within the show but it’s widely suggested by context, subtext and by the cast themselves, and i guess i just kind of wondered why you disagree with that and seem determined to erase that part of her character? this is no hate at all like i love crackships and i LOVE your art im just kinda curious why you don’t see her as a lesbian because for me personally she’s so butch dyke coded that i can’t imagine her with a guy (honestly the thought repulses me), so i wondered what attracts you to these f/m ships with her? again this is no hate im just genuinely intrigued

(i really hope this doesn’t come off as negative or aggressive bc that’s genuinely not my aim, it’s just that canon lesbian representation is so rare (especially in musical theatre) that when i see someone erase those identities it kinda gets my back up, but im interested in hearing different point of views!! im kinda biased bc im a genuine man hating lesbian and i try to surround myself with similar communities and schools of thought so i just wanna hear other points of view bc honestly hating men all the time is exhausting but i just can’t help it lol)

. haha hi this is kind of an insane thing to ask someone 😭😭

in no way, shape or form do i dislike lesbians. i infact like girls myself !! i appreciate your question, and im glad you asked to clear the air!! i understand she does date a woman in the show, which i also ship them!!! but at the end of the day, she can still be bisexual i fear 💔 being shown dating a singular woman does not confirm her a lesbian. ive dated women, but i can still date men as well!

for me, its the dynamics i find interesting!! doesnt matter what gender the characters are to me, even if greaseball was still male i fear id still have the same exact ships!!! i just find them fun!

i appreciate your question, really, but i dont think this is a very okay thing to accuse someone of 💔i am definitely not trying to "erase" that part of her character, every time i ship greaseball with another character all those relationships with dinah have still been well and alive -- just no longer active. which happens ! but this was honestly a very upsetting ask to receive knowing that people thought because of my silly little doodles that i hated lesbians 😭😭

thank you for your question!

[b1mbodoll]

first i wna say omg i cant believe you’ve followed me since my anime days 😭 that writing was so bad in my opinion hnsnfdn i only kept oli’s up cus i rly liked it T_T also don’t apologize for your english! i understood what you were saying <3

secondly, i keep getting asks accusing me of being overdramatic for being upset about something as silly as a blog theme but i think they fail to realize that although it’s a dumb thing, i’ve spent so much time and effort into this. of course i’m going to be bothered by this T_T wouldnt you?? agh anyway!!! this is by no means an attack or bullying or whatever else i’ve been told -_- i spent a lot of time blocking rude anons over this situation but wtvr that isnt important!!! i’ve already messaged the creator about this bc i saw their post stating that they’ve been receiving hatemail as well and i wna say that is NOT COOL!!! i dont know if it’s my followers sending rude messages but i asked you guys to please refrain from doing things like that. mean words have an effect on people. be kind always.

thirdly, to the person that sent this, thank you. i thought it was just me being crazy when i saw the similarities but like i said in my last post, i’m not confrontational and decided to just let it be. i hope this isnt worded poorly, i’ve been rereading this over and over to ensure it doesnt make me come off as rude or selfcentered or something T_T but please don’t come into my inbox just to be really mean about this situation. i’m allowed to be upset by this. don’t call me mean names and be just straight up disrespectful because i’m being truthful about my feelings regarding this. it’s bothersome and sort of rude.

again: im begging you guys to just be nice. i know you guys may think it’s sticking up for me when you send people messages about this, but it’s just mean. you don’t have to be disrespectful to get your point across.

lastly, to the sender: i screenshotted the pictures you sent and attached them below, in order to respect your privacy ^^

[nitazenes]

Sorry not trying to be weird but your bed frame is crazy cool lol

OH lol not weird at all it's actually my aunt, my aunt's room is the only one with a full length mirror lol so that's my aunt's bed

Apparently it belonged to her father, who got it from a family member first, so its been passed down 3 generations and you dont see bedframes like that anymore, its super antique Ive asked if i could have it left for me in the will but that thing is like solid wood and so fuckin heavy and the frame is about as squeaky as you can imagine being entirely wood but i have a mattress that doesnt move much so i still have my fingers crossed that I may have it when my aunt does eventually pass on, it would be a great honor to have it.

However a lot is being left in the will for me, which I am grateful for. i know i wont receive inheritance from really any other member in my family, so even if it's not money, my aunt has said many of the things she cherishes will be mine ;o; Whenever that time comes i'll be grateful for what I have and whatever she leaves for me. she has already promised two heirlooms to me, one which she gave me already and said to think of it as a pre-emptive gift for when shes gone. It's the watch I always wear! i very rarely switch up watches and if i do, you will probably see me wearing both. even when the watch eventually stops working (it has once before but it was able to be reset)

these watches run off of perpetual motion, meaning as i do my every day things and move my hands around, that powers the watch! which makes it waterproof as well (i still tend to take it off for showering but as soon as im done it goes right back on) lol i lost it for a while and I was extremely upset bc i just woke up one day and it had unclasped and gone somewhere I couldnt find it

it had fallen between my mattress and my own bedframe so i didnt find it for a while. even without perpetual motion, when i shook the watch, it didnt start again so i thought it was broken I had a professional watch dude take a look at it and he tried resetting it once and it wouldnt start up. so i was worried like, i was going to need a replacement part or a repair and unfortunately this watch is an Expensive One. however its kind of worthless to sell because I would have to sell the watch face and the band separately. Why? Because the people who sold it to my aunt told her it was a replacement band but not that it wasnt the same brand.

the replacement band on its own with the two links ive removed from it would be like $1.5k meanwhile the watchface, i was told theyd give me $500 for it. so all together this watch is $2k and it DOES need to be overhauled which will cost $500 on its own

a lot of people notice it not for the brand which this watch isnt as overt as some watches, like from a distance if someone didnt know what to look for, this could be a timex watch for all they know, or a knock off. but people who notice it tend to notice that its analog and not digital and older people tend to recognize this more and ive heard comments like "see young people still read analog" and no they do not lol ive taught someone how to read a clock, they do not teach analog anymore.

Anyway this brings me back to the bedframe because that thing is special and would definitely be an heirloom thing but I think its being given to my grandmother, but my grandmother and aunt are relatively the same age so i do hope to inherit it one day.

tl;dr

my aunt has cool shit and i WISH that was mine lol

sorry for the long ass response im feeling chatty!!!

[foxfirexo]

How do you manage to be so confident in speaking to strangers online? (Lo siento if that sounds dumb)

ehehe not dumb at all!!! ^^ thank u for the question i actually work rly hard to be more confident so the fact that u are even asking that makes me feel rly proud that i come across that way hehe

honestly online is easier than irl but for both the mindset shift ive been trying to make for a while (the past year esp) is to just... not giving a fuck ab what other ppl think of what i say. i mean as long as im not forcing myself on anyone then if somebody doesnt like what i have to say, then they can just... not interact with me? and ofc if somebody explicitly told me to stop doing something or fuck off i will respect them 100%

but ya the way i see it is (1) if i do or say something that somebody doesn't like they can either just tell me to fuck off or we can talk it out but also on top of that (2) im not gonna worry ab somebody being upset by me acting in a way that is authentically me bc why the fuck would i want to be around someone who only accepts me watered down/with some persona on

so ya that is a very long winded way of saying i just say fuck it and if someone is uncomfortable with me they can tell me to stop or to fuck off or whatever and ive lost nothing bc if they dont like me being me then they werent someone i want to interact with in the first place :3

incidentally this actually saves you and everyone around you a lot of time and energy too bc being just totally unapologetic and authentic means you will nearly instantly filter out anyone who shouldnt be in your life and you will be left with all the people who you absolutely 100% totally vibe with and i have to say, from experience, no matter how scary it is you will be SO much happier bc it is just so incredible to be surrounded with exclusively people you are on the same wavelength with (not that u have to agree on everything but yk). no more wasting time getting to know somebody only to months later find out you dont get along, this way you will find out VERY quickly

hope that answers ur question and i hope that maybe this inspires u to be a bit more confident <333 just be u!!!

i dont think im a good person. i think im one of the worst types. i see whats wrong, understand that its wrong, and still i let it happen. sometimes i actively participate in it. my oldest brother is kind, and doesnt let anything anyone says about him stop him from living truthfully. but the things people say are fucking awful, and i know that i wouldnt be able to handle it as well as he does. my other brother saw what was happening to him, and decided to not let it happen to him. he became one of those popular kids that has a huge ego, but he saw my brother and never bullied someone else. i saw both the paths i could choose, and walked in the middle. im friends with people who aren’t actually popular, but act like they are and gossip like it. they’re shit people and bully/talk shit about people behind their backs. this includes me. the girl i talk to the most in the group, as shes in most of my classes, spends all the time shes with me either complaining about her family or making fun of people. if shes willing to talk crap about the people she actually likes in the group, shes def talking crap about me. shes said things to my face before, but other than calling me a loser the thing she said that stuck with me most was telling me i was the uglier version of another friend (im going to call her S). ive always compared myself to S, as shes the one i look most like. having an example of what i should be right next to me all the time sucks, but i don’t blame her for it. i have a lot of other friends, but none that i could fit into the group with. im not sure what to do. i know that a lot of people who are “older and wiser” than me will say that what’s happening to me rn isnt a big deal, and im aware of that. i try not to let these things affect me, as there are people who have actual problems and arent just spoiled kids who make jokes too much and accidentally made people think shes unaffected. a few days ago the friend who i spend the most time with (im calling her C) made a joke about one of our friends to her face, but it was the kind of joke thats too far. in response to her doing this, since i was right next to her, i told a “joke” to her face that was too far. i said something about how she ruins all of our conversations with negative comments, and thats why nobody talks to her. i could tell by her face that it hurt. she was almost silent the rest of class. i feel like complete and utter shit for saying it, but i keep trying to remind myself that she needs to learn. she comes from a rich family, and thinks that the few minor inconveniences in her life matter to everyone. her mom has bipolar, and the meds she was taking for it made her severely depressed and she ended up going to the hospital for it. ever since she came back from the hospital, C’s been acting like her mom is batshit insane. she got on the bus one time upset that her dad yelled at her, and ended up telling me that her moms crazy because shes not doing anything to take care of herself. i know people who were abused by their parents, and got beaten half to death but still sent back to their house because of the fucked up system we have. C telling me that pissed me off bc she gets whatever she wants, whenever she asks for it, and has never had to worry about money or whether or not her family would survive a war. im not saying these things have happened to me, but i dont try and act like my “problems” are the most important ones. im really sorry about this if for some reason you decided to read the full thing, and i apologise for sounding like a whiny brat, but i needed to tell someone and this way ill never know who that someone is, or if there is a someone. i wish you the very best, and i hope everything you want to happen will. good night

feel free to pick whichever ones you want (I hope you did want asks to begin with hfjdnsbbd!!) but: 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, & 16 from the OTP asks for wrightworth/narumitsu? :3c OR maybe franmaya if you'd like!!

YES!!! IM DOING BOTH OF THEM BC I CAN.

anyways Wrightworth my beloveds!!!

2) What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?

hrrrgh. mrrmph. ohhh this is such a can of worms bestie!!! i am answering this one last for like, context, bc omfg!! like. thru the spectrum of their relationship it absolutely changes bc early on Miles 100% refuses to spend the night with Phoenix bc he Cannot let Nick see him break down. and its like. ok yea the nightmares about him killing his father stopped, but HES SO FUCKED UP!!!! it is not a stretch of the imagination to say that new nightmares took their place.

nightmares about Nick dying (trying to run across a burning bridge or Manfred or Gant pulling strings to get revenge even from behind bars, etc). nightmares about Maya dying bc he wasn't good enough as a prosecutor (couldn't drag out the Engarde trial long enough, or she starved to death, or he was TOO GOOD and Engarde was declared guilty early). nightmares about him returning from "choosing death" to the Worst Case Scenario. nightmares about Gregory denouncing him, bc maybe he didn't pull the trigger but he decimated Gregory's memory and everything he stood for (even if it was all bc of Manfred's manipulation).

and like he told Phoenix the nightmares stopped. so that has to be the truth, full stop. he can't admit to the half-truth. so it turns into this festering little pit that winds up with Miles shaking in Phoenix's arms while Phoenix patiently unlocks the Psychelocks hiding Miles' secret. and yea it's a weight off his chest but Miles still half expects the worst because he's not Over It, he's not Perfect, and this is one of those times where it still comes as a shock that Nick doesn't expect or demand perfect. I think Miles gets surprisingly clingy when he's upset, and Nick, koala of a man that he is, is more than willing to accommodate.

I think neither of them would be particularly inclined to discuss whatever was in a nightmare that upset them, least of all immediately after (and Miles would absolutely be the one who'd ask Phoenix about it the next morning— Phoenix would lean towards letting Miles come to him when he's ready vs outright asking), and sometimes Miles needs to get up and Move for a bit, whether that's pacing or making tea or reading for a little bit. Phoenix can generally just crash again once he's satisfied himself that Miles is Safe, but Miles needs to redirect his brain most of the time.

it's definitely a pleasant surprise when Phoenix joins him the first time. just kinda sleep-mumbles something about the bed being cold without Miles anyways and watches Miles work off his anxious energy by pacing, or joins him for a cup of tea, or joins Miles on the couch n rests his legs on Miles' lap while he reads bc he knows Miles likes the pressure.

(sidenote but i do think Franziska and Phoenix get to be pretty close? definitely a lot of affectionate jabbing bc they ARE dating each other's little siblings. where I'm going with this is that sometimes, after a Bad Maya-centric nightmare, Nick will text Franziska a quick "Maya's good?" and she'll usually just text back "Y" because it's 2 am and she wants to go back to sleep, and Nick's ancient phone can't display emojis— but she never calls him a fool for it. he appreciates it a lot. she denies anything if he ever tries to thank her in person)

3) Do they wear the other’s clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)

in court: dear gods no. can u IMAGINE? Miles would DIE. Phoenix would love it tho lmfao

at home: 100% yes! i think it actually starts with Miles stealing Phoenix's clothes bc like Miles is a man w/ a matching pajama set. its not so much that he doesnt have comfortable clothes but that there's nothing Phoenix would really feel comfortable borrowing at first (all of Miles' wardrobe is expeeeeensiiiiiiive). it does eventually get to the point tho where the origin of certain clothing items becomes EXTREMELY debatable (Phoenix bought it?? maybe?? but Miles wears it the most. but Phoenix wore it out last so like Maya DEFINITELY saw him in it but it's kind of Miles' shirt, BUT-)

5) Describe their cozy night in.

they r curled up on the couch together parallel playing. Miles is watching Steel Samurai with a glass of wine while Phoenix plays Pokemon on Trucy's old DS bc she got him hooked, and he's got his head on Miles' shoulder and sometimes he'll look up when he feels Miles' arm get tighter around him bc he knows it must be a really important scene— or Miles will look down when he hears Phoenix start mashing buttons bc it must be a really intense battle, etc. just basking in the comfort of shared space, unwinding together without any pressure or judgement

(side note: Phoenix HAS that DS bc Trucy insisted he take it after Franziska got her a 3DS as an upgrade— Miles may not initially have wanted to overstep with exorbitant gifts, but Franziska is here to be the Cool Aunt!! Trucy DESERVES to play the newest games and Franziska doesn't care what Phoenix has to say about her dropping $200+ on gifts for his daughter! she doesnt CARE about his protests she WILL spoil his daughter bc Trucy is Delightful and Phoenix is A Foolish Fool)

7) Would they build a pillow fort together just because?

hmmmm i think its more that Phoenix and Trucy would! not that Miles is opposed but i think a Wright-built pillow fort starts as a bit of a whirlwind and he's more inclined to get popcorn/hot cocoa/etc ready for them to enjoy once the fort is Finished than get in the middle of the chaos lol

8) What happens if one of them gets sick?

I would LIKE to believe they would take care of each other but in reality they would BOTH try to work through the pain until they're too sick to work. it's a constant battle of "I'm fine I can work!" "you are absolutely Not Fine" "but YOU would go to work if you were sick like me!" "maybe, but would you LET me?" and the cycle continues until somebody caves. the roles are absolutely interchangeable.

they do eventually get to the place where they are willing to take better care of themselves and accept the other person looking out for them in turn but for a while. disaster 20-something workaholics in pursuit of TRUTH.

16) Can they stay up all night just talking?

Of Course They Can. they try not to bc Lawyers Who Have To Do Lawyer Things The Next Day(tm) but there are definitely nights where they just lay in bed talking abt anything and everything bc it's just too nice. and they don't want to lose any time together by falling asleep. especially early on with that added weight of having almost lost each other ("Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death" versus "EDGEY CHARTER A FUCKING JET BC NICK MIGHT DIE!!!!" which ily larry ilysm but that is not. oh that couldve been handled so much better. and yea granted Miles didnt grieve for a year but he's also still working thru SO MUCH can u imagine how devastating that phonecall mustve been. flying as fast as u can because if you don't make it in time you might never see the man who quite literally saved your life again? they are both so fucked up, peace and love)

Franmaya timeee!!

2) What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?

I think similarly to Nick, Maya leans more towards the physical comfort side of the spectrum— but she's also much more willing to talk. Franziska will usually put the lamp on and hold Maya while they work through the dream logically. Breaking down what parts are grounded in reality and what parts are complete nonsense, reminders that Maya is loved, that the people she cares about are safe, etc until she's ready to fall back asleep.

Franziska is very much a fight-response person though, so she generally needs to ground herself before she's open to any physical touch. I think she used to squeeze her arm hard enough to bruise, and then Maya offered "you can squeeze my hand!" but Franziska refuses because if she squeezed hard enough to seriously hurt Maya and didn't realize bc she was so out of it she could never forgive herself (or if Maya tried to touch her and she accidentally lashed out). Maya stumbles across a solution when she's dragging Nick to a collectibles shop and finds one of those stupid little stress toys where the eyes pop out when you squeeze it of the Evil Magistrate??? shes so excited. she brings it home and proudly displays it to Franziska like LOOK. squeeze this to ground yourself! and Franziska can't help but start snickering the first time she tries it because it is So Dumb. this rubber toy of a children's show character with googly eyes that pop out every time she squeezes it. is staring back at her while she tries not to break down. and Maya kinda ??? as she wakes up, and Franziska answers with "I can't believe how foolish I'm being. squeezing a toy."

"You're not foolish."

"..This situation is foolish." and Franziska squeezes the toy again so the eyes pop out right at Maya, and Maya starts snickering too. and then they're both laughing, because yea, it Is kind of ridiculous, but they're both getting Better.

3) Do they wear the other’s clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)

hmmmmm generally no? I think Franziska would borrow Maya's casual shirts for pajamas but that's about as far as it goes w/ her, and similarly to Nick n Miles, for a while Maya is just. Not Willing to borrow and potentially mess up her GF's Expensive Clothes.

the first time Maya lets Franziska style her wardrobe for some fancy event, she absolutely steals Franziska's breath away. her girlfriend is stunning? she's dating the most gorgeous woman in the world? hello?? Maya needs to dress up more. actually no scratch that Franziska would lose EVERY case she faced off against Nick n Maya on if Maya dressed formally for court.

5) Describe their cozy night in.

QUESTIONS!! honestly, Maya could listen to Franziska talk for HOURS and on nights when Franziska just wants to read and unwind her favorite thing is what she jokingly refers to as turnabout book club. has she read the book? no! will she bluff her way through analytical discussion questions so she can listen to Franziska break down different aspects of the story? yep! absolutely! Nick would be proud!

alternatively, if Franziska isn't feeling particularly sociable she'll suggest a Steel Samurai marathon because she can just rest her cheek on her hand and watch Maya excitedly explain the intricacies of Steel Samurai lore across all the different seasons and reboots and the significance of his redesigns and can you BELIEVE they changed (insert character Franziska only knows via Maya's infodumps here) in (insert whichever reboot here)????? No, darling, of course she can't, how foolishly foolish of them. please tell her more about depths of emotion in the Steel Samurai's expressionless masked face as he experiences the epic highs and lows of being the warrior of neo olde tokyo

7) Would they build a pillow fort together just because?

yea actually! it helps that Pearl and Trucy are over pretty regularly (coughgivesFranziskaagoodexcusecough) but even without the kids, like. Franziska became a prosecutor at thirteen. she had to EXCEED Manfred's expectations because let's be real, to merely MEET them was probably just as good as failure. she didn't get to be a kid. ever. and Maya is fully like, you know what? we're fixing that. you're never too old to have fun!! and sometimes fort-making devolves into pillow fighting or just dancing around to whatever music they put on, or giggling too much while they build it that the moment they try to crawl in it collapses around them. but the point is that it makes Franziska smile and makes them both happy bc really, they both went through so much SO young

8) What happens if one of them gets sick?

perhaps surprisingly, Franziska is much better abt this than Miles is bc she can't maintain her perfect record if she can't focus due to being ill, so she's fully willing to take a day or two off and rest to make sure it doesn't get worse. Maya will happily join her— Maya sits under freezing waterfalls regularly so I think she's got the immune system of the gods. she RARELY gets sick and whenever she does it passes quickly, so after a couple times Franziska gives up on arguing that she could get Maya sick bc no, no she won't.

16) Can they stay up all night just talking?

MAYA can. Franziska is not a night owl at all. she tries her best on nights when she doesn't have to go into work but she is much more of a morning person. Maya, again, goes through some incredibly intense training at very odd hours so she's just kind of full of energy whenever?? she's happiest when she gets to stay up late + sleep in late, but she's never like. GROUCHY if she has to wake up early! which is nice bc honestly Franziska would much rather sit outside sharing coffee and talking with Maya as they watch the sunrise.

[kidkintsugi]

so theres this guy that i think might have feelings for me but i cant recipocrate?

this is really stressful to me!

hes not the guy who recently found out my gender is transed btw

this guy lives about an hour away from my hometown and 2 hours away from the place i stay at for uni. i met him at a pride parade 2 years ago and ever since weve been hanging out sometimes? not regularily bc of the distance but just enough, im happy and hes happy ig no pressure

we spent a lot of time together last summer. we took a lot of train rides together, met up for more pride parades, visited museums etc. it was EXTREMELY cool and i hope to do the same again this year!

but hes been getting kind of flirty over the course of it.

i usually dont mind flirting, it doesnt even really register to me as romantic because im a bit dense (LMAO) and i flirt with my friends all the time because we all know its just for shits and giggles? at least i hope so.

so then he invited me for his birthday last year. of course i wanna visit a friend for his birthday so i went. i was one of the only guest there because a lot of people declined last minute??? which is SUPER rude and i got super mad over that but thats not what this is about.

he keeps getting closer. i laugh it off he laughs too. he keeps going out with 2 other people that came to visit for "smoke breaks", he comes back in saying that "they thought we looked like a couple the way we look at eachother ahaha"

somethings off? hes been saying this a lot to me, saying that others think we are a thing and then asking me if "we arent one or are we?". I always answer with a laugh and an "obviously not". and also i dont really know what it means to 'look at eachother' like that because a) no eye contact and b) no prolonged staring on my part, thats all his doing

up to this point i always thought it was a joke obviously but god damn that night?

that night he got genuinely upset. he seemed really jealous when i was talking about other guys i was hanging out with. "haha why dont you spend time like that with me?" "why dont you call me x?" "why arent we doing y together?" all the time.

it gets later, we drank a bit (i really dont drink a lot i dont like the taste of alcohol) and he keeps leaning onto me, holding my arm when someone outside was approaching the door saying that "hes a bit scared :(" things like that. recording me singing, touching me when laughing, i can always blame it on the alcohol but with all the things that have been happening its really glaring isnt it?

its time for me to leave because its getting late and at this point we were alone except for his little brother who jokingly kept implying that "me and the guy should kiss because were both gay" which i. also laughed off and declined wholeheartedly lmao. something was definitely off and i needed to get out?

the car parks. i give his little brother a handshake to get him off me because he was really clingy (but also funny as hell oh my god) and head for the car.

"hey, no goodbye for me? :("

i wasnt planning to not say goodbye i was just. in a rush to get his brother off me lol.

so he comes closer and gives me a hug, fully aware that i dont like hugs a lot and takes me into his arms! really close! uh oh.

i move my face and look down because hes REALLY close and i am uncomfortable at this point.

he was so close to my face that my dad thought we were gonna kiss.

i head for the car and wave one last time before telling my dad about what happened and he also agrees that he definitely has a little crush.

the thing is? i dont feel the same bro

i like him as a friend, as i said i enjoyed my time in summer with him endlessly and i like spending time with him in general but feelings are so hard

i am autistic and i have been using the label aromantic as an umbrella term for my attraction for quite a long time now.

its not that i am 100% against the idea of a relationship, but i just dont understand romantic feelings (i dont think i have ever had a crush on someone that isnt a celebrity or a fictional character), i think im just as happy on my own, (pathetic warning:) i feel like im just gonna end up hurting someone and/or being hurt AND i just cant believe that anyone feels that way for me because i think of myself as unlikeable.

all of these mean: yeah! relationships are cool in theory but i dont really get feelings! autism is playing a role here too im sure of it but what am i gonna do about that lol

either way, i really dont want him to get the wrong idea.

because of my new touchy friends ive been feeling really weird and anxious about topics like these. on some days i get stomach troubles and terrible anxiety thinking about being held or touched again.

i also feel like i cant just tell him off because it would ruin our friendship. again, hes a good friend to me.

either way i feel like this ones gonna hurt

[babyjakes]

just wanted to help.

summary | chris finds out you’re worried he’s upset with you after you cut your hand doing the dishes to try to please him.

pairing | daddy!chris evans x little!reader

warnings | sfw regression (daddy!chris and little!reader), reader cuts hand while doing dishes, chris kind of being a dick at first, hurt/comfort, fluff, soft!daddy!chris :’-), wtf was that summary idk if that’s even english lmao

word count | 1,228

requested by anon | i have a request for little!reader x chris! reader notices hes stressed but she doesnt know its bc of his work & thinks its her fault hes upset. they havent had quality time together in a while & so she tries to be helpful & do dishes but ends up breaking one, cuts her hand, tries not to cry but cries &chris gets upset with her but still cleans/bandages her cut and when he asks her why she did what she did, she just starts crying again and explains “jus wanted to be a big girl and help you” 🥺💕

an | hi omg okay so this would just be so cute bc chris would instantly just!!! his eyes would get so big and he would literally be this emoji 🥺🥺🥺 and he would feel so bad and be so sweet, thanks so much for this request friend!!

Gazing down at the soapy water in the sink below you, you try to keep your mind from wandering, hands fumbling slightly over the dishes as you attempt to clean them despite your very little mindset. The past few weeks with your daddy have been rough, and tonight’s dinner was no exception. Chris was cold, detached. He made some attempts to hold a conversation, but it was clear that his mind was entirely somewhere else. All you can figure is that you’ve done something wrong; now, all you can hope to do is try to win him back over.

Rinsing off the plates, you move to the silverware. Starting with the knives (something you usually wouldn’t go anywhere near while so little), you do your best to clean them thoroughly. Until suddenly, a sharp stinging causes you to let out a yelp, the water below you quickly turning pink as you raise a shaking hand out of the bubbles, revealing a deep cut into your tender palm. At the sight of the gushing blood, you simply can’t help it; before you know it, warm tears are making their way down your cheeks rapidly, a sob building up in your throat. Forcefully, you swallow it down. Gotta take care of it myself, you think quickly. If Daddy finds out, he’ll-

“Y/n?” a deep voice calls from behind you. Flinching, you do your best to compose yourself, drying off your unharmed hand and wiping at your eyes before turning around warily to face Chris. The moment he sees your bloody hand, he sighs, the look of disappointment and annoyance crossing his face making your heart drop into your stomach. “What were you thinking?” he asks with a shake of his head, making his way over to you and taking your hand in his own. Lowering your head, you fail to come up with a response. “Were you handling the knives?” he continues as he looks in the sink. “Jesus Christ, y/n, you know you’re not supposed to touch those!” he reprimands.

“‘m sorry, Daddy,” you mumble weakly, voice wobbling as tears continue trailing down your cheeks. “I-I’ll clean it up, Daddy. I’ll-”

“No,” he cuts you off with a huff, taking your other hand and beginning to drag you to the bathroom, “you’ve done quite enough already.” Whimpering fearfully at the edge in his voice, you simply nod, following him through the door and sitting on the closed toilet seat when he motions for you to. Taking another look at your hand, Chris shakes his head again, grumbling as he turns to look through the cabinet behind him. “You know I was in a meeting, right?” he sighs as he pulls out the red first-aid kit, placing it on the counter and opening it up to start looking for what he’ll need.

“I-I’m sorry, Daddy. Didn’t know,” you apologize through your tears, keeping your eyes fixed on your lap.

Grabbing a paper towel, Chris runs it under the sink, turning back to you and bending down to look at your hand. Running it over the injury, he sighs again as he assesses the damage. “You’re lucky you don’t need stitches,” he tells you. “What’s the rule about knives?”

“D-don’t touch them,” you recite obediently, earning a stern nod from the man as he goes back into the first-aid box, finding a lump of cotton balls and wetting them with rubbing alcohol.

“God, y/n. What were you thinking?” he asks again, the exasperation in his voice finally bringing you to your breaking point.

Choking back a sob, you begin to speak, words jumbled through your sniffles and hiccups. “I-I’m sorry, Daddy… s-so sorry. Just wanted t-to be good and help, know you’ve been unh-happy with me lately, so… just wanted t-to be a big girl and clean up the dishes… ‘m really sorry, Daddy,” you conclude, dropping your head even lower as you squeeze your eyes shut in humiliation and shame.

Chris shuffles quietly in front of you, waiting several moments before he finally speaks. When he does, you can hear that he’s crouched down in front of you again. Instead of the harsh scolding you were anticipating, though, he surprises you by using a soft, careful voice, barely above a whisper. “Y/n? Sweetheart?” For some reason, the tenderness of his tone only makes you feel like crying harder. A gentle hand rests on your knee, rubbing in soothing circles. “Can you open your eyes and look at me, bub?”

Still a little fearful of upsetting him, you do as he asks, big eyes raising warily up to meet his. A flood of relief washes over you as Chris looks back at you, all anger and annoyance now gone from his face as he gazes at you, his expression full of guilt and worry. “Honey, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for getting upset with you; that was mean of me. You were just trying to be a good girl and help, weren’t you?” Unable to find your voice, you just nod, falling even deeper into your littlespace as your daddy speaks so softly with you. “Sweetheart, what did you mean when you said Daddy’s been unhappy with you? That’s not true, baby; I’m always happy with you. You haven’t done anything for me to be unhappy about.”

“J-just thought… since you’ve been so distant… th-thought I did somethin’,” you admit shyly.

Chris’s heartbreak is visible on his face as he shakes his head at you quickly, promising, “No, baby. No, no, no- you didn’t do anything wrong, bubba. Not a single thing. Daddy’s just been really caught up with work, sweetheart. I’m sorry I’ve been so preoccupied; you’re right, lovebug. I haven’t been doing a very good job of taking care of you. How about I take the next few days until the weekend off, hmm? You and me can spend some time together; how’s that sound?”

“Y-you don’t have to, Daddy,” you tell him quickly, not wanting him to feel like he has to just because of what’s happened.

“No, I want to, honey. Gonna back off on the projects, too. I was in way too deep; it hasn’t been good for me. Gonna make sure I’m here for you more, okay? That’s my job too, you know. Taking care of my princess comes before anything else.”

“Okay, Daddy,” you mumble shyly as he leans in, kissing you gently on your nose. “I’m still sorry about the knives.”

“That’s okay, bub. Just don’t do it again, okay? Can’t have my little girl putting herself in danger,” he says as he takes your hand in his once more, grabbing the prepared cotton from the counter where he set it down to talk to you.

“Gonna sting,” you whimper, a slight pout forming on your face as Chris nods at you sympathetically.

“Only for a moment, bug. Promise it’ll be over real quick, and then Daddy will wrap it up nice and gently for you, okay?”

“No Hello Kitty bandaid?” you frown.

“This owwy’s a little big for a Hello Kitty bandaid, sweetie. But how about this, Daddy’s gonna wrap it up in some bandaging, and then if you want, we can go put some Hello Kitty stickers on it. That sound okay?” he asks patiently. Satisfied with the compromise, you nod. “Alright baby, big breath in. This’ll only hurt for a moment.”

lately ive been seeing some ppl on sunny tumblr/twitter spreading the agenda of ryan reynolds dating mac n dee n also dennis banging him and it reminds me of this fic idea i had for a while but i dont think i'm ever gonna make it so i might as well just say it

dee brags about having a date with this really hot guy who's at the bar n mac immediately feels smth between them the guy starts making eye contact and he just knows there's smth there so later he comes up to dennis n asks him for help to steal him from dee. he wants him to help sabotage their date thats happening tomorrow n dennis says yes bc he doesnt care if mac wants to bang ppl, dennis does it himself n he knows it doesnt mean anything plus pissing off dee is a bonus. so the next day he goes to dee's apartment pretending he wanted to hang out, puts some laxative in her drink n she obviously doesnt go to the date. ryan reynolds goes to the bar to meet dee n surprise whos there? mac. so they go out n dennis is "fine" with it. until he notices for weeks how mac is always with his phone n won't stop smiling n not coming home until the next morning so dennis asks him whats this all about n mac tells him "remember that guy dee had a date with but he was obviously more attracted to me? so we've been seeing each other all this time n i think we're going steady. i think i might actually like this guy" dennis is shaking n almost throwing up n then mac says "i wanted to thank you bc if u hadn't helped me sabotage their date we wouldn't be together so yeah thanks dude". then dennis has his kendall roy breakdown in the bathroom. then he does everything in his power to break them up he inserts himself in their dates he takes macs phone to delete their texts making them miscommunicate n mac is pretty oblivious about it but his bf isn't n dennis feels he kinda asked mac to distance himself a little from dennis and now hes going insane he has no resources anymore. so he does the only thing he can think of: hits on ryan reynolds who ends up being a cheater n they fuck. dennis tells mac like it was the most natural thing in the world saying he got suspicious about him being a cheater n just wanted to check, hoping mac will accept it, breakup w him, move on n everything would go back to normal. but he doesnt. he gets rlly upset n goes "what the fuck is wrong with u??? u're not even attracted to men n u banged him just to ruin my first long term relationship" he obviously wouldn't put 2+2 together that dennis wasn't straight n not even cross his mind that he might be jealous. dennis tells him he did him a favor that he was looking out for him and says "now that i clarified everything will u just breakup n we all move on from this? bc its starting to annoy me". but for dennis' surprise mac doesnt let it go n gets to the conclusion that dennis wanted to break them up just bc he wasnt a priority in macs life anymore n wasnt doing stuff for him like he used to n that he couldnt control mac anymore. he gets rlly hurt about this but deep down also bc dennis had gay sex and it wasn't with him. dennis wants to tell him the truth that he was just jealous bc he loved him n it was supposed to be him dating mac not ryan, that no one could understand mac better than he did n that everything was so clear to him now but he doesn't. he doesnt say anything n just lets mac think that bc he doesnt have the guts, bc its easier to let mac hate him. mac walks out the door and now the cliffhanger n angst is settled. dennis has to do the ultimate big romantic gesture to get him back
