#idk I'm just having a fun time not overthinking it lol

[radisyn]

okay so @hot-glenn-holidays-2023 day 6: christmas in the sand/at the beach 😎🌊🏖 there is so much more to work on here but I do not yet know how to ~finish~ digital art so I will have to revisit this later 🫠

for now, please enjoy the weird details I decided to painstakingly add (the light glinting on the nipple piercing for instance, or the light on the popsicle droplets 😅)

I'm noticing an uptick in comments complaining that most of the current WIR fandom content is Turbo instead of the other characters and, like... you guys know you can search other characters by their specific tags, right??? Or exclude Turbo from search results by temporarily blacklisting him in your filtered tags?

Idk, it's just weird to me to be discouraging towards people making fandom content just because it's not the specific content you want to see, like, it's ok to want to see other content, but complaining about how other people aren't catering to your tastes enough instead of just making the content you want to see yourself is kinda bad vibes, y'know?? (And that's not to say that I think those comments are intended out of malice of course, I really don't think they are, I just wanted to point out that it can come off as a little entitled, as well as discouraging towards people who just want to draw Turbo, which is something that should be fine if that's what they want to do. Fandom should be fun for everybody, and there's lots of tools available to curate your experience with it!)

english is not my first language!

you left chris's that night, annoyed with how your night went. of course, you could've just told chris to stop, knowing you weren't in the mood to have sex, but you genuienly believed you could get there, and you just had too much on your mind to really get into it, so you kept trying. chris's reaction left you in disbelief at the lack of understanding and how he treated the situation, like it was a huge problem that he didn't get his relief that night.

purposely, you didn't text him back, letting him know that you were not too happy with his actions. you thought about apologizing, but you really didn't have to defend yourself for not getting horny, but for wanting to try. you went out that after leaving chris's place, drinking with friends to forget about your evening with chris, trying to have some fun. but no matter how much you laughed with your friends, dancing to the loud music, taking shot after shot, you still couldn't help but feel bad about the situation, telling yourself it was your fault even though it definetly wasn't.

you barely slept after getting home from the party, tossing and turning in bed, fighting the urge to text chris back. to your luck, the alcohol in your system helped you fall asleep after the few restless hours of overthinking. when you woke up, you decided to check your messages. you did last night too, you just didn't answer any of them.

the time on your phone read 5:27PM. you sighed when you read what chris had sent you, literally two minutes ago -

you couldn't help but chuckle to yourself when reading his texts. you've never seen chris act like that, blowing your phone up for a whole night, giving up when you didn't answer, then trying again the next day. what really surprised you was how desperate he was on trying to fix his mistake. in the whole four years you've known chris for, you have never seen that man wanting to make up for something he did, let alone beg for something.

you knew you shouldn't give in, you knew he was being unreasonable with you last night, but unfortunately, he meant too much to you to just cut off. it was a one time occurence, he always made sure you were comfortable with what was happening, whenever it was happening, so you thought his frustration last night deserved a hearing out. you sighed, rolling out of bed and typing out a message before sending it to him.

'omw'

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗

you arrived at chris’s place shortly after you sent the text. the evening was settling in, the light outside dimming as the sun dipped behind the horizon. the street was quiet, and you stood in front of his front door. you got a little nervous, still not super happy about how things went, but you knocked anyway. chris opened the door, greeting you with a half-smile, he seemed unusually nervous but still trying to act casual. “hey,” he said, his voice low, not quite meeting your eyes. “thanks for coming over.”

“yeah, no problem,” you replied, stepping inside. “wasn't really planning on comin' over after... last night.” you gestured vaguely, not wanting to fully revisit what happened the night before. chris closed the door behind you and looked at the floor for a second. “i know,” he said quietly, taking a breath. “listen, i was an asshole, like for real. i shouldn't have said the things i said. i obviously know you can't control it and flip a switch to be horny whenever you need it. i was being a dick about it n' i'm sorry."

you sighed. last night had had honestly hurt your feelings a little, making you feel guilty for something you have no control over. it didn’t help that he was insistent when you tried to explain how you felt, telling you you wasted his time. the whole thing had been frustrating, but there was no denying that chris wasn’t usually like that, so you heard him out.

“it wasn’t just what you said,” you said, trying to explain again. “it was more that you weren’t hearing me, you know? i should've told you, yes, but i came over so we could fuck and all, so i wanted to keep trying and get in the mood... i dunno..” you tried to explain,

“i get it,” he said quickly, meeting your eyes now. “i wasn’t thinking about you—I was thinking about myself, and what i wanted. ’m sorry for that..."

him apologizing made this whole thing even more intense than it already was, surprising you. you didn't think he'd ever apologize for something when he was usually pretty careless about most things anyway, but you felt a little lighter just hearing him admit to his mistake, actually caring, which also surprised you. "it's okay. i just didn't like the way you spoke to me, made me feel like shit to be honest.."

chris nodded, his expression serious and surprisingly empathetic, like he really regretted his words and actions. “yeah.. i know.." he sighed. "i had a rough day, not gonna lie, and i let it out on you cause i was pissed. 's obviously not your fault, i was just being stupid."

you nodded, a small sigh leaving your lips. you really saw how he was trying, apologizing for what he'd done. it meant a lot to you. "can i make it up to you? i know theres nothin' i can really do to take the shit i said back or whatever... but can i try and make it up to you?" chris asked, his voice genuine.

you raised an eyebrow. “make it up to me?” you huffed out a chuckle, curious on where this was going. chris making something up to you? oh wow, he really meant it, he really was sorry.

“i was thinking we could go for a walk on the beach. sun's setting right now. i know you like that shit, so...” he said, a little less confident now when he heard what just came out of his mouth, but he really did want to make it up to you. fuck buddies or not, you guys were still friends after all.

you mulled it over for a second. part of you wanted to just keep things simple, not overanalyze it. “alright,” you said, your lips twitching into a small smile. “not goin' soft on me, are you?"

chris scoffs, a small smirk forming on his face at your words, "shut up, kid. don't make me take it back." you chuckled, grateful that the awkward tension was slowly slipping away.

his smirk faltered a little, clearing his throat. you noticed some slight nervousness in his gaze, tilting your head to the side, waiting for him to get out what else he wanted to say “we could... watch a movie together after. like when we're back. if you want to, of course. you don-"

"i'd love to." you cut him off, chuckling at his suggestion. he nodded, a little embarrassed but still amused. “okay.. okay, great."

you followed him outside, and the two of you walked in comfortable silence toward the beach, your steps slow and easy, like you’d done a hundred times before, just not with chris. it felt a little strange at first, that undercurrent of last night’s tension still lingering, but the evening air helped clear your head. the sky was painted with streaks of pink and orange, the waves crashing in the distance. it wasn’t the most perfect beach walk you’d ever had, but it was nice enough.

you walked a little further, the sand crunching beneath your feet. "y'know, i didn't think you'd apologize, let alone try to make up for it." you chuckled a litte, looking over at him "oh come on, i'm not a complete asshole. like, i know what i did was shitty, i wasn't jus' gonna leave it like that."

you nodded, another small chuckle leaving your lips. you kept walking in a comfortable silence before you heard chris sigh, “i really am sorry."

"i know, chris. it's okay. i really appriciate you doing this, and apologizing." you reassured him, seeing the way it took some weight off of his shoulders.

you took a deep breath, letting the ocean breeze wash over you. the conversation fell quiet as the two of you watched the sun set fully beneath the horizon. it was an easy moment—no pressure, no expectations, just the two of you standing there in the silence. you could tell that chris was really trying, and that meant something.

when the sun had set, the two of you headed back to his place. you walked in, throwing your phone down on the coffee table before plopping down on the couch. chris followed you, sitting down on the couch next to you, picking up the TV remote. "what you wanna watch?" you shrugged, not too sure yourself. "anything. as long as it's not some horribly scripted action movie." he nodded, huffing out a laugh. when he finally decided on a movie, he put the remote down, leaning back against the cushions next to you.

the movie started, but neither of you focused on what was playing on the screen. dramaric music and dialouge coming from the TV, but it seemed inaudible as your eyes were on his, drowining out everything around you. chris felt the same, but unlike your eyes, his didn't keep the eye contact up, his gaze darting down to your lips and you couldn't help but smirk a little. "we're not watching that movie, are we?" you rasied your eyebrows at him, his eyes meeting yours again as he shook his head. "fuck no."

before you knew it, his lips were on yours, capturing them in a hungry kiss. you pulled him closer to you, hands slipping under his t-shirt, your fingertips soft against his skin sending a shiver down his spine.

chris's hands roam your body, deepening the kiss as his tongue slips past your lips. you moan into the kiss, your hand sliding out from underneath his top, tugging at it. chris breaks the kiss when he feels your hands tug at the fabric, pulling it over his head quickly before his lips land on your neck, kissing and biting at the skin. your hands find his hair, tangling your fingers in it, tugging lightly. your back arches off of the couch when chris slowly kisses his way down your stomach, pushing your shirt up with his hand before he moved it up to squeeze your tit. good thing you were too lazy to put a bra on this morning...

chris's kisses and nibbles on your lower stomach, right above the waistband of your sweatpants were painfully teasing. you were definetly in the mood tonight, and you definetly didn't want to wait. "chris hurry up." you whined, your hand gripping his as it kept kneading your tit. chris smirked against your skin, his eyes darting up to meet yours. "impatient tonight, huh?" his hot breath against your skin as he spoke only made you needier. luckily, chris remoced his hand from where it was, sliding down your body. he pulled back, and you lifted your hips up for him as he tugged down your pants, your underwear following.

chris pushed your thighs apart, hands sliding up and down the flesh as his lips placed soft kisses up your inner thighs. he sucked on your skin, sinking his teeth into it before pulling back with a wet pop. "not gonna make me eat you out for twenty minutes and fake moan again, are you?" he joked, and despite the way his words made you feel last night, you found it funny. you scoffed out a laugh, rolling your eyes at his comment. "get to it or i'll go home and leave you here alone and hard again." chris chuckled, his eyes staying on yours as he buried his face between your thighs.

you sucked in a sharp breath at the feeling of this tongue making immediate contact with your clit, circling it. "oh fuck.." you breathed out, your fingers tangling in his hair again, earning a groan from chris, sending vibrations trough you. he slipped two fingers into your wetness, curling them up. his tongue focused on your clit, licking, wrapping his lips around it and sucking until you're a mess of whimpers and moans, real moans.

hearing the real emotion behind your moans, how you were actually turned on and in pleasure encouraged chris, his tongue and fingers working on you skilfully, tongue lapping at your pussy while his fingers continuesly curled up to hit your sweet spot. your grip in his hair tightened, your moans coming out between gasps, growing closer to your orgasm faster than expected. "don't stop, fuck, please..." you gasped out, and chris groaned against you, reassuring you that he was nowhere near stopping.

you bit your lip, trying not to moan too loud as your orgasm washed over you, your thighs threatening to close around chris's head, but his hands held them apart before they could.

even after finally cumming, chris didn't stop. you tried to wiggle away, whining at the overstimulation of his tongue never slowing down, but even then, chris only kept going. his name left your lips in small gasps, tugging on his hair but he grabbed your wrists, pinning them down on each side of you on the couch, "didn't get to hear your pretty moans last night. cmon, give me more.." and he kept going...

even after offering him to suck his dick, let him fuck your mouth, whatever you two usually did, he didn't stop.

you were in for a long night.

it takes time

series masterlist

part 3 of as much or as little!! bang chan x gn! reader wc: 2818 + 2 text screenshots warnings: cute fluffy stuff, reader overthinking (a lot), if your names mia i'm sorry, idk this spiralled a little, muffins are a reoccuring theme a/n: i have spent way too long on this lol, hope you enjoy!

It’s been a few weeks since you had that conversation with Chris- the one where you told him your deepest traumas and fears and he offered to teach you how to love again. Whilst Chris had been nothing but wonderful and supportive, you somehow managed to overthink the whole “when or if you’re ready” thing like 574 times. You’d been overthinking about it so much that you’d managed to isolate yourself from him, not a lot, but enough for him to worry.

You groan slightly, not wanting to get out of your warm, comfy bed.

You eventually huff, moving to get up and ready.

You were in the middle of brushing your teeth when your phone suddenly dings.

You chuckle slightly at his message, choosing to finish brushing your teeth before you respond. You then move to the kitchen, placing 9 muffins in a container as your toast cooks. Just as you’re done, the toast pops and you manage to put an appropriate amount of vegemite on it before you shove it in your mouth and gather your things.

“Key, wallet, muffins, bag…” You mumble, patting your pockets. “All set!”

After you slip on some shoes you stumble out the door- opting to walk since the studio was close by, which often led to Chris crashing at your place in the early morning.

Once you entered the building, the receptionist simply nodded at you before letting you in, recognising you from your many visits. 

“JAGIYA!” Han shouted when you entered the room, making you jump slightly.

“Hi!” You say, waving slightly as you’re immediately bombarded by an excitable Felix.

“HI!” Felix says, immediately wrapping you in a hug. 

“Did you bring the muffins?” He asks in a comically serious tone once he hugged you sufficiently.

“Of course.” You respond solemnly, taking the container out of your bag and handing it to him as he cheered.

After Felix retreats with the cupcakes you scan the room, waving at Chris before you go over to Minho.

“Hi Min.” You say, giving Minho, your longtime friend, a quick hug.

“Hey, how’ve you been?” He asks, giving a knowing smirk.

“Good, how’ve you been?” You respond, ignoring the underlying question.

“Fine, you’ve been busy huh? Haven’t seen you in a bit.” He mutters as he raises an eyebrow in your direction.

“Work’s been busy.” You murmur, knowing that he’ll see through your lies.

Han saves you from Minho’s pointed questions by poking your arm insistently. “Hey, hey, hey. Can I have a muffin?”

“What, no hello?” You tease, wrapping an arm around the smaller boy.

“Hello!” Han says with an adorable smile. “Can I please have a muffin?”

“Yes, of course.” You giggle, gently patting his arm as he runs off in the direction of the muffins.

“I’ve gotta go say hi to everyone, but we’ll talk later, okay?” You say to Minho, running off in Seungmin’s direction before he can object.

“Minnie!” You cheer before pulling him in for a hug.

“Hey! How’ve you been?” He greets you as he quickly hugs you back.

“Good! How’ve you been?” You ask, trying to ignore Minho’s eyes glaring into your back.

“Yeah good, been busy moving in with Felix. It’s been fun!” He says as you two fall into simple conversation.

“Hi Innie.” You say, spotting the boy as he walks past and pulling him into a hug as he complains.

“Hi!” He mumbles as he eventually gives in, gently hugging you back, making you hum in content before releasing him.

“Seungmin!” Chris calls out from across the room, prompting the boy to walk over.

“Well, how’ve you been?” You ask Jeongin as begins grumbling about moving in with Chris.

You’re all of a sudden startled by long arms wrapping around you, pulling you close as you yelp in surprise.

“Hellooo!” Hyunjin sing-songs, releasing you just as quickly and opting to bother Jeongin instead.

“Hey!” Changbin says as he joins you. 

“Did you bring muffins?” He asks sweetly, making you laugh.

“Yeah, Felix has them.” You reply, laughing harder as he speeds off in search of the muffins.

“Hey.” You hear as you feel a tugging on your arm.

You turn to find Chris, who had seemed to have manoeuvred his chair over to where you were standing, pulling at your arm and wanting your attention.

“Hi!” You say, turning and looking down at him.

“Helloo.” He mumbled as he grabbed your hand.

“You okay?” You murmur as you gently squeeze his hand, his hesitant demeanour worrying you.

“Can you come listen to something? I need your input.” Chris says as he starts sliding over to his laptop.

“Of course.” You reply, internally excited but also slightly worried about the mellow-seeming man.

You slip the headphones on over your ears, immediately getting lost in the flow of the music.

“Dude.” You say, pulling the headphones off and turning to him, not noticing his hesitant expression.

“This is incredible. Like, genuinely amazing.” You mumble, in awe at his talent.

“Thank you.” He beams. “I’m glad you like it! It’s not done yet but I wanted to show you.”

“Well, it’s absolutely incredible and I feel honoured to have listened to it.” You say, turning to place the headphones back down.

Once turning back, you’re shocked by him wrapping his arms around your waist and pressing his face into your tummy.

“This okay?” He mumbles, his voice muffled.

“Yeah, you sure you’re okay?” You ask quietly, your hands hesitantly ruffling his hair.

“Missed you.” He says, pressing his face slightly harder before leaning back,

“You okay?” He asks, and you swear you feel Minho’s eyes glaring at you again.

“Yeah. Work’s just been busy.” You reply, a stone forming in your stomach at your lie.

“Hey, Chris! Oh-” Han interjects as he runs over to where you two were situated.

“I will come back.” He says, turning away as you laugh.

“You can come here Hannie, it’s fine.” You giggle as you step back.

“Sorry- I just wanted to ask if you’d had a muffin?” Han hesitantly turns back around.

Chris’s eyes light up as he snaps his head towards you.

“You brought muffins?”

*✩＊✿✧❀○❀✧✿＊✩*

A few weeks later, the two of you are meeting your mutual friends at a small cafe near Chris’s house.

All of you are cramped around a small table, updating each other on your recent ventures. You sit there, quietly trying to absorb yourself in the tales of your friends' latest adventures and the buzz and chatter of the surrounding tables, but all you can focus on is Chris’s body, pressed tightly against yours.

The feeling of his thigh squished against yours, his shoulder squeezed against you and his hand resting on your lap as you fiddle with his fingers, trying to distract yourself from the lingering sensation of his warm skin gently resting on your thigh.

“Hey, want me to move over?” Chris asked quietly, softly smiling at you.

You pause, mulling it over before shaking your head.

“If you get uncomfortable at any point, or need me to move over, let me know.” He hummed, gently squeezing your hand before returning to the conversation.

You look towards the table, immediately noticing the side eye one of your friends, Mia, was giving you.

Once she noticed you looking at her, she immediately gave you a questioning glance before smirking and raising her eyebrows suggestively.

You roll your eyes at her, before subtly flipping her off.

She bursts into laughter, fortunately everyone else was too absorbed in the conversation to notice. Unfortunately for you, you were too absorbed in the exchange to notice Chris looking at you fondly, an action which didn’t go unnoticed by Mia.

She giggles to herself before going back to the conversation at the table.

You sigh as you rest your head on Chris’s shoulder.

You stay there for a while, listening to the soft hum of the cafe and narrowly avoiding Mia’s questioning side eyes.

The gentle buzz of conversation quietly lulls you into a state of calm sleepiness and you find yourself slowly closing your eyes as you rested comfortably on his shoulder.

Moments after you close your eyes, you feel a hand resting gently on your face, swiping at something just under your eye. You blink your eyes open, resisting the urge to flinch away once you notice it’s Chris.

“Hold still.” He whispers as he gently brushes his finger just below your eye. “You have a loose eyelash.”

“Got it!” He murmurs moments later, holding his finger out. “Make a wish.”

You gently blow on his finger, looking at the spark in his eyes as he watches the eyelash fly away.

“What’d you wish for?” He whispers, smiling down at you.

“Won’t come true if I don’t tell you.” You giggle, smiling cheekily as him.

He gasps dramatically, somehow still maintaining a whispered tone.

“Come on!” He whines. “Please tell me!”

“Nope!” You laugh at his dramatics.

“Fineee.” He grumbles, pretending to ignore you in favour of talking to your friends.

Mia makes eye contact with you again, raising her eyebrows questioningly as you shake your head in response.

You return to the conversation, now confident enough to make your own inputs.

You lose track of how long you sit there for, chatting away and occasionally poking Chris in the ribs.

“I should get going.” A friend says, standing to gather their stuff and farewell everyone.

“We should leave soon too.” Chris mumbles as he starts talking about the bill.

“We?” Mia mouths at you from across the table.

You give her the middle finger again, this time less subtly as someone else notices and laughs.

Later, after you’ve hugged your friend's farewell and sorted out the bill, Chris and you walk along the street.

“How you feeling?” Chris asks as he gently grabs your hand, intertwining your fingers as you giggle.

“Good!” You smile at him. “You?”

“Good.” He says smiling before tilting his head towards your hands. “This okay?”

You hum, nodding your head as you try to ignore the odd feeling in your stomach.

“Did you see how Mia was looking at us?” Chris asks as he pauses in front of his car.

“Oh my god! Yes!” You exclaim, making him laugh.

“She was being so weird!” He says as his eyes trace over your expression.

“Anyways.” He begins, leaning towards you with a look of mirth evident in his eyes. “You doing anything tonight?”

“Uh… no. I don’t think so… Why?” You question him, suspicious.

“We should have a sleepover!” He beams, giggling sweetly. 

“And post about it on Instagram to fuck with her.” 

You turn to him in shock, immediately laughing at his mischievous expression.

“Is that a no?” He asks as he holds the car door open for you.

“Oh no, it’s absolutely a yes.” You declare before the two of you erupt into laughter.

“Hey.” Chris murmurs as he walks up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist.

“Hi.” You mumble in response, focusing on mixing the ingredients in front of you.

“This okay?” He asks quietly, resting his chin on your shoulder and gently swaying your bodies side-to-side. 

You hum affirmatively, gently reaching to grab another ingredient.

“What’cha making?” He asks, his voice soft, barely a whisper, but due to the proximity his voice reverberates through you.

“Muffins… again.” You respond, hoping that your voice remains steady and doesn’t betray your fluster.

“Ooo.” He hums, and you feel the vibration against your skin. “What kind?”

“Chocolate!” You respond enthusiastically, inwardly praying he can’t hear how fast your heart is beating.

He giggles excitedly against your shoulder, his gentle swaying speeding up slightly. However, he soon resumes his previous pace, a gentle side-to-side motion as he stands there with his arms around your waist, watching you mix the final few ingredients.

“I’m going to go play Genshin, do you want to join me once you’ve put these in the oven?” He asks, his voice breaking the quiet hum of the oven heating up.

“I’d love that.” You murmur in response and you can feel him smile next to you.

He leans his head back slightly, his arms still encircling your waist, and gently presses his lips against the fabric covering your shoulder- not quite a kiss but rather an unspoken promise, of what, you weren’t yet sure.

He then turned, removing his arms from where they fit nicely around your waist and walking to the next room. But his touch, or maybe the absence of it, lingers, leaving behind a weight you couldn’t quite place- of a question unanswered or a promise you don’t know how to name.

You shake your head, trying to clear your mind and focus on the task at hand as you start scooping the muffin batter into the tray.

“I really don’t want to fight it again…” You groan dramatically as Chris leans his head on your shoulder.

“Pretty pleaseee.” Chris whines, somehow even more dramatic than you.

“Fi-” You begin before you’re startled by the loud sound of your alarm.

“Saved by the muffin!” Chris giggles as you stand to get them out of the oven.

“Please bring me one back.” Chris asks sweetly and you lean down to give him an affectionate pinch of the cheek before you turn and head to the kitchen.

“The muffins done?” Chris asked from his position on the couch once you walked into the room.

“Yup!” You respond through a mouthful of muffin, holding one out to him.

He immediately shoves the muffin in his mouth, humming in delight at its taste.

“These are so good!” He mumbles as you sit down, giggling at him.

“D’you wanna keep playing? Or we can watch a movie or something?” You ask,

“Can we watch a movie?” Chris asks after swallowing the muffin.

“Yeah! What do you wanna watch?” You ask, turning the TV on.

“You can choose, I don’t mind.” He hums, throwing his phone to the side as he snuggles up next to you.

“Mean Girls it is!” You tease as you start searching for the film.

“No! Wait-” Chris starts before you erupt into a fit of giggles.

“I’m kidding! Let’s watch Deadpool and Wolverine.” You laugh as you search for the film, too focused to notice his adoring expression.

“Thank you.” He murmurs before laying down and resting his head on your lap, prompting you to shift your hands.

“This okay?” He asks, looking up at you and you feel your breath stutter.

“Yeah.” You say, immediately trying to distract yourself with finding the film.

Once you find it and set down your remote, you realise you don’t know what to do with your hands.

“Play with my hair.” Chris murmurs, somehow noticing your internal panic despite his eyes being fixed on the screen.

You smile down at him, running your fingers through his soft hair as he hums in satisfaction.

“Chris.” You ask sometime into the movie, gently patting his head.

No response. You pause the movie, only to immediately hear his soft snoring.

You smile to yourself, internally overjoyed to see him getting some sleep. 

His breathing deepens, and you let the quiet sound of the movie, paired with the steady comfort of his presence, lull you into a quiet sleep, the hours slipping by unnoticed.

You wake first, immediately confused by the random movie that was auto-playing in front of you and the heavy weight on your lap.

You look down and the memories of the previous night come back to you. You check your phone upon noticing the light peeking through the nearby blinds: 9:41 AM.

You two managed to sleep for like, 10 hours. Your hand subconsciously resumed its ministrations on Chris’s hair, slightly rousing the boy on your lap.

“Oh! Good morning.” You hum, continuing to gently stroke his hair as he wakes up.

“Morning?” Chris asked groggily, turning to look up at you. 

“What the fuck happened?” He murmurs as you laugh at his confusion.

“You were knocked out, you slept for over 10 hours.” You giggled, smiling down at him as you continued running your fingers through his hair.

His eyes widened in shock.

“How on earth-” He stutters, still stunned.

"I guess I found the almighty insomniac’s kryptonite," you murmur, affectionately ruffling his hair.

He groans dramatically, turning to hide his face in your stomach, his laughter vibrating against you, making you laugh too.

"I don’t know how I did that," he mutters as he sits up, wiping the sleep from his eyes.

"Do you feel rested?" You ask, stretching your arms.

"Yeah, I haven’t felt this good in a while," he says, his eyes shining with appreciation as he turns to you. "Thank you."

You simply smile in response, squeezing his hand gently and trying to ignore the warmth settling in your chest.

"What do you want for breakfast?"

This is a work of fiction, based entirely on my personal perception of him, and does not reflect his actual character or actions.

yapping about fics and commenting

sorry to yap but work is boring today and tumblr isn't blocked on my work computer LOL

ok it's abt that post where the writer friend stopped writing because they weren't getting the comments/kudos they wanted.

i'm like. an overeager fandom person. like i cannot get into a fandom without wanting to meet new people and make friends. i love yapping about whatever silly gay idiots i'm hyperfixating over. i'm all about community, and sharing the joy of fandom, and all that fun positive stuff.

i don't post my art for stats but like. that means nothing coming from me tbh. i get stats. i can't accurately predict what would happen if i stopped getting notes on my art, but i would probably keep drawing and keep posting, just maybe less confidently, and less often. i recognize that stats make it much easier and while it’s not my primary motivation, it definitely motivates me to keep posting.

and yet. for years, i never commented on fic. i think i left kudos? and i saw posts like this all the time about how writers were so sad they didn't get comments. and i would feel super guilty about it all the time. but i still wouldn't do it! it sounds stupid, but i would feel pressured. if i liked a fic a lot, it felt even more difficult to comment, because i thought i would have to somehow give back to the author everything that fic gave to me. i wanted to craft the perfect comment that could perfectly encapsulate everything a fic made me feel. and that was way too much pressure so i would just not say anything.

when i got into drarry, i started reading a shit ton of fic. and i still wouldn't comment. i left maybe... 2 or 3 comments, maybe, i think. i can't remember. but i had a lot to say and i WANTED the writers to hear that i had read it and liked it. i just... didn't comment! u know what i did instead? i just fucking straight up DM'd writers on discord and started gushing to them that i liked their fic. somehow i was confident enough to do that, but writing a comment still felt like too much pressure. ?? i don't understand it either, but in my head it felt like a writing assignment, but when I was in DMs it felt more like a conversation and so there wasn't any pressure to make it "good"? idk!! it's very weird.

then i wrote and posted my first complete fic. just a oneshot, nothing special, and i was like. UNREASONABLY nervous about posting it. like. i am a confident person, okay? i was going to make a burner AO3 account and post it under a different name so nobody would know it was me, and then never mention it to anyone except MAYBE super close friends. i got talked out of doing that (thanks i feel a bit silly about considering that now). and then i received my first comment on it, which was basically a two-liner where someone said they liked it and thanked me for writing it.

and i was like. ??...?????? ???????? ...??!!! because i felt like... uncontainable glee? i was freakishly happy. the amount of serotonin those two sentences gave me was definitely unnatural.

is that healthy? idk. will it continue? idk. LOL. i hope so? but idk, some people said it wears off if you write/post for a while. but whatever, the fact that one little comment like that could make my entire day blew my mind. tbh i thought writers were just exaggerating when they said stuff like that.

ever since then i started leaving comments! that shit's easy! like what was i overthinking for? i'm such a fucking tryhard! all i gotta say is that i liked it, and even the bare minimum can bring lots of joy to someone.

so basically what im trying to say is that negative reinforcement doesn't do shit!! it just makes people feel bad about themselves. that post is nasty for guilt-tripping readers like that, and i bet you it's going to have the opposite effect (or no effect tbh).

YAPPING FINISHED. for now.

[rwshfordgirl]

oiii gorgeous!! See if u like this, I’ve been overthinking a bit, but hope it’s not bad lol idk, once again I’m here ‘cause of Jude hahaha sorryyy

I was thinkin’ of somethin’ where the reader goes out w/ her friends for a night out, just wanna have fun, chill, and maybe kiss someone. And she does. A super hot guy, the kind that leaves u breathless. But what was supposed to be just a fun moment takes an unexpected turn. On Monday, she arrives for a photoshoot for a big sports brand (Nike, Puma, Adidas, etc.), only to find out she’s gonna be posing w/ a football player, who just so happens to be the guy she kissed that night. The tension was already there, but as the photos are taken, their chemistry gets even more obvious. And the result? The pics turn out so good that ppl start shippin’ them, and even some ppl around them get jealous, ‘cause their connection seems way more than just professional.

Sorry if I went overboard or got too specific haha, couldn’t sum it up 😭😭

Monday Morning

all the images were taken from pinterest.

pairing: jude bellingham x reader!

a/n: thank you for the request, brazilian union 🇧🇷 🗣 it took me a while to write because i wanted something really good, i haven't felt like i've been doing well here and i really wanted to like this fic, it's a great plot. hope you like it!

english is not my first language, please disregard any spelling mistakes.

The new club in Fulham was the new London sensation, your best friend went there on the opening night and has been trying to drag you there ever since, saying it is the best club in town.

Not that going to a nightclub was your favorite idea of fun, but everything told you that it was better to give your friend's idea a chance. Shitty day at work, shitty day at home, coffee spilled on your new coat. "Fuck it, I'm going to distract myself."

In the blink of an eye, you joined your three friends at the club. The DJ's setlist had you dancing like crazy, your hair flying, you raising your hands and singing loudly along with the other girls. Everything was great.

You were feeling at the height of fun, something you hadn't felt since your teenage years when your only concern was passing the year. The looks you got from the men around you made you want to venture even further into that nightclub, but there was someone at the bar who kept an eye on you whenever he could and he was the only one who caught your attention.

"Look at that cutie over there." You pulled your friends gently and shouted, your finger pointing at the man at the bar.

"Go for it, you have nothing to lose."

That was all you needed to hear. You're not the type to hit on men, always waiting for them to make the first move. But today has to be different, today you have to live.

You didn't think twice, you slipped into the crowd and appeared at the opposite end to him. You smiled when you saw him looking for you there, he lost sight of you. But when his eyes met yours and you waved, he lowered his head in embarrassment. He nudged his friend next to him, said something in his ear, and walked over to you.

"Hi." he said in your ear. Reaching out to greet you.

"Hi." you shook his hand.

Her eyes roaming over the male figure in front of her, muscular, smiling and handsome. Her type.

"I've never seen you around here." the loud noise of music, people singing and talking made him speak in your ear.

"It's my first time here."

"My friend owns this place, I'm his partner."

You nodded as you fiddled with the necklace hanging around your neck.

"So you come here often, huh?"

He laughed, running his tongue between his teeth.

"Not really, I live in Madrid."

"Oh, now I remember where I've seen you before! You're the boy from the national team."

He nodded.

"You're right."

It didn't take more than six shared sentences for the player's lips to be glued to his. He didn't kiss you in the middle of the crowd, gently, the English player took you upstairs, empty since it was the space reserved for the team that runs the nightclub.

That kiss wasn't just any kiss, it was the best kiss anyone has ever given. You both shared the same feeling, that your lips were made for each other. His soft lips made you delirious and the taste of your watermelon gloss was delicious, it made him addicted in seconds.

But just like Cinderella, your cell phone alarm went off at midnight, the time you decided you had to leave so you could work with energy tomorrow.

"Do you have to go?"

He asked with his forehead pressed against yours, breathing heavily, you had just kissed intensely.

"Yes, unfortunately yes."

His eyes became sad and inside he tried to understand why he was sad about having to say goodbye to the woman he had just met.

"It was very good, really good...I hope you come back to Madrid safely."

And you walked away, leaving him standing there smiling like a fool, wondering what had just happened.

It will be hard to forget what happened here. But worst of all, you hadn't exchanged names, contacts, nothing. Just the best kiss in the world.

Monday Morning, The next day.

"Jules, sorry! I'm late."

You said after rushing in from your boss's photography room, he smiled at you.

"Relax, Jude is changing his clothes. You can go too."

"Who's is Jude and who's paying my salary today?"

"Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid and England star. And it's Puma."

Jude Bellingham. Jude Bellingham. "Holy shit, it's him, the boy from last night."You knew it was him, how many times had you seen the commercials he does for famous brands? But fate was so good, it put him in your path again. You couldn't believe it.

"Jude is ready."

A woman dressed in an assistant's clothes and accessories came into the room, Jules looked at me and signaled for me to get my clothes and go change.

You was wearing all Puma, from your top to your sneakers. All white.

In the photography room, the same woman from before was adjusting the collar of the gold-collared shirt that Jude was wearing. He had his back turned and didn't see me enter the room.

"Are you ready, Jude?"

Jules asked and you walked to the middle of the room. Finally, Jude saw you, he jumped back discreetly and smiled.

"Hey."

I whispered.

"Hey."

He whispered back.

"You know what to do."

Jules warned and positioned himself behind the photographer.

Jude's hands gently touched your back, just like he did yesterday. Shoulders pressed together, you and he looked at the camera, heard the first click and for the second photo, your eyes were fixed on each other. What made you smile.

"You guys are doing great, keep it up."

The photo shoot drew praise from everyone there, "from now on she has to take all the photos with jude, they were made for each other.", his manager commented, "i see chemistry between them."

Jude and you were embarrassed, but it was natural, you both were acting naturally, Bellingham made you comfortable.

"I didn't expect to see you again." he commented at the end of the photo shoot.

"Neither did I, but I was praying for it to happen, I just didn't know it would be so soon."

He chuckled. His hands in his pocket and the movement he made back and forth, made him even cuter.

"People liked us, you know?"

"If they only knew what we did last night..."

You smiled and lightly patted his shoulder.

"You fool, it was just a kiss."

"A big kiss."

"Yeah, a big kiss."

The days passed, Jude and you exchanged messages, photos, videos, made video calls. You were part of each other's lives now.

But when the photos came out, it was crazy, the media pointed to her as his new girlfriend, the conversation you had that day was overheard and leaked, people didn't see it as a normal photo shoot.

J: lol did you see the news and the comments?

Y/N: i guess i'm your girlfriend from now on.

J: i don't care, i already had the intention of asking you to be mine.

Y/N: really? i'd be honored.

J: My girlfriend.

[mymoshangthoughts]

i knew with my pattern of fandom it was inevitable before i became obsessed with the og owners of the bodies. i was already highkey obsessed with shen jiu, but i knew it would be only a matter of time before i started to hyper fixate on og!shang qinghua, but man, when it hits, it hits me like a freight train lmfao

i should rlllyyyy stop reading transmigration stories, this always happens to me pfff

gonna just obsess about sibling au's, as is my normal comfort food, and curse the author for not giving me their fucking NAMES so that i could just say "shang jingqi" and have everyone automatically know that i mean og!shang qinghua, the same way that i can just say shen jiu (very fucking grateful i got that at least man)

that said, not necessarily sold on "shang jingqi" as a name for him 🤔it was just kinda a random name i threw out for convenience sake. i saw "shang hua" and "shang houhua" and that one could work, altho im not 100% sold idk

this is why i just wish there was a damn canon name for me to obsess about 😭i overthink fan-names A LOT and i just want to have a canon name. or at least a super commonly accepted fanon name urrrggghhhhhhhh

and like

it's the worst with shang qinghua oki

because it's not even JUST trying to figure out a birth name that satisfies me. because it's like, three fucking names i need to figure out

og!shang qinghua's birth name

airplane!shang qinghua sibling au birth name

airplane's og name from his og world

technicalllyyyy i can prolly combine the last two (and i intend to) but it's still kinda this nagging plot hole in my head that BOTHERS me, because obviously he would have a different name!! oargjauhtiehri

until i see something better though, my answers are gonna be

shang jingqi (no meaning to this, head empty, jingqi is a cute name and i like him so i gave him a cute name)

shang feiyu (yes im trying to be punny with "fei" being from "feiji" (airplane), altho not using that character. i miiiight wind up leaning into the pun 100% and just go with feiji even tho thats a really fucking weird name, maybe make the excuse that the system is making fun of him)

????????????

i might just lean into airplane can't remember his og name because man, this is giving me a headache. istg i have not have been this frustrated since the time i was trying to figure out twin names for lcf twin!cale au's. and like, i had a lot of names to choose from back then! the big problem back then wasnt that the characters didnt have names, but rather that og!cale didn't "own" any of those names in the eyes of the fandom so it created confusion lolol

anyway im getting off point

back to babbling about og!shang qinghua sibling aus

i'm thinking of three types i wanna explore

twin au's. already dipped my toes in it and i like twin aus. it's my normal go-to for this sort of thing lol

older brother og!shang qinghua. ngl, people sold me with their fanart LOL im a weak man to adorable fanart oki

adopted brother au: oki bear with me, but what if baby airplane just gets... dropped into pidw with no family and he gets adopted by one of his scummy canon fodder villains? no blood relations for reassurance (not that airplane gets all that much reassurance from blood relations) just some one who has no obligations to him, who airplane KNOWS has a shitty personality, choosing to adopt him and take care of him? get found family'd, idiot! i just love airplane being the family that someone actively CHOSE

oki so the next thing i need to consider is og!shang qinghua's personality, because lbr, the barebones we get from svsss is noootttt a lot lmfao (og!shang qinghua extra when?). butttt from what we do know, he's supposed to be the sort of person who would work for two bosses, backstabbing either one or both of them

there is actually the potential for og!shang qinghua to be a bit of a su xiyan in this regard 🤔because of the lack of information we have, it's possible he could have actually been a double agent working for cang qiong while pretending to work against it. im not sure i like this path, bc im ngl, i kinda like the characterization of him being a self-serving greedy worm (i have a weakness for characters who are like this okay). but it's worth considering. he could also be playing the game from all angles. cang qiong think he's infiltrating the northern desert on their behalf, mobei-jun thinks he's infiltrating cang qiong on his behalf, and ultimately, og!shang qinghua is 100% his own man who's backstabbing them all LOL

there's also the uncle of it all to consider. linguang-jun is the most viable ally for anyone who might want an upper hand against mobei-jun, and if og!shang qinghua is gutsy enough, he might consider working for him

there's also the possible iteration of him thats 100% cowardly victim who literally never had a choice in any of it and died pathetically after being betrayed by everyone. again, the lack of actual canon info about him makes this possible? and it wouldnt not match up with airplane's pattern with tragic villains. that said, im not a fan of this route bc frankly i'm here for villain-fucking, not for "he was actually the most uwu baby of them all!!!" but i gotta acknowledge the possibility of this category, to actually take into consideration og!shang qinghua's personality. if we think of airplane's pattern with villains tho, none of them are absolutely innocent or kind. shen jiu is undeniably a victim of his circumstances annnnnddddd he also tried to rape ning yingying, so clearly he's not a good dude

there is also a line in the novel where shen yuan says that "shang qinghua was written the same way as shen qingqiu", specifically with regards to being lustful. so it's very likely that og!shang qinghua is into brothels and sex and might be a bit of a horndog

so

with consideration to the above (and anything i forgot that people wanna remind me of because i have the memory of a peanut) the things i wanna consider for his personality are

self serving and greedy (personal preference but it's canon compliant so shhhh)

slutty in at least one way (very likely brothels considering the context and very likely hetero in those slutty ways)

a very good liar (a necessity of the position of a double agent)

good at logistics (thats how you become the an ding peak lord after all)

probably has a tragic backstory (as is airplane's penchant with canon fodder villains)

had a bad relationship with mobei-jun (otherwise canon events dont make sense lol)

alright then theres shipping thoughts to be had >:D bc im shipping scum and this is who i am inside

theres the obvious og!moshang and im definitely here for that, but my airplane x mobei jun obsession is currently consuming me from the inside out sooo lolol so very likely to do some ot3 shenanigans with them at the moment if anything, which works for aus where theyre not related, but since im crawling my way down the shang sibs rabbit hole (and im just not much of an incest shipper lol), i'll table that one for now

shen jiu is worth thinking about, put my slutty canon fodder villains together and see what happens >:D

liu qingge could be hot (also ot3 with liujiu cuz my obsessesion with liujiu is only matched by my moshang obsession LOL). definitely love pairing liu qingge with morally corrupt characters who make him scream "WHY DO I LIKE YOU?!?!?"

sha huling might be kinda hot ngl, i could see them scheming together and also og!shang qinghua resenting the fuck out of luo binghe that he's got the woman of his dreams on retainer and she aint even his main squeeze

wei qingwei is a particularly tantalizing option bc if he was also in charge of the rescue party in pidw, then theres the potential for og!shang qinghua (in contrast to our lil airplane) actually feeling super relieved to see him and developing a really cute "my hero" crush on him~ this is something i will definitely percolate on. might become my fav pick tbh bc the more i think about it, the more i like it >:D

luo binghe is also potential, tho it doesnt fizzle in my brain the same way that bingplane does lol. but i could see potential there

zhuzhi-lang would be pure cracky "i like these two characters so i think they should kiss" LOL. but bear with me, the terminally loyal zhuzhi-lang paired with the terminally disloyal og!shang qinghua equates to a lot of conflict and i am HERE for that oki like the sheer incomprehension of "why the fuck would you be loyal to them at the cost of yourself?? are you stupid?" vs "how can you be such disloyal scum??? what is wrong with you?" (except politer bc zhuzhi-lang lolol) is a combination of contrasting values that i adore to see in a ship

obvs theres airplane x og!shang qinghua and again, i'm here for that, but im currently in sibling au hell so i'll table that for later, but believe me that i see it

qi qingqi, look, my only justification for this one is "it would be hot" and i stand by it LOL

thus far, upon considering my options, i still think i like wei qingwei the most but thats mainly bc i have a canon basis to branch off of and while i love crack (clearly) i also like having a jumping off point. after that, i think it's a tie between zhuzhi-lang and sha hualing (those shang bros sure do love their demons LOL)

conclusions:

og!shangqinghua's birth name is shang jingqi

brother aus are very good, airplane is the best bro a villain could have

he is a greedy, lying, and self serving person and also at least a lil slutty with a tragic backstory

he should totally fuck wei qingwei, zhuzhi-lang, and sha hualing

i am satisfied with my considerations lmao altho i'll prolly make a whole post about how i envision the sibling dynamics between the shang bros because i have THOUGHTS

[scarletnakazato]

Do you have any hc, thoughts or anything but with Takumi? Im so in love with him 😭😭😭 feed me please

This is a whole collage of anything that came to mind for me so it's quite a lot since I'm a sucker for detail, lol. Loved the idea Anon, hope you enjoy! Also thank you to @skeleton-beneath-this-skin with the brainstorming help! ❤️

As I've personally headcanoned in my fic with Bunta, I'm a firm believer that he scrunches and twitches his nose when concentrated.

He might also poke his tongue out as well and never realise it until someone points it out.

Probably ends up with chapped lips a lot and doesn't understand why they're dry all the time so he's constantly carrying a tube of chap stick in his pocket.

Honestly, I have no idea where, when, or how I've come to headcanon this, but for some reason I've always believed that if you tap on either one of his shins when he's zoned out/daydreaming, it'll wake him right up. Just woosh instantly pops him out of that state and he'll just look at you like 😳 h u h ?

You'd think with how he's zoned out all the time, he wouldn't be too smart a guy, HOWEVER!!

I definitely think he's smarter than the anime lets on, and I'm not talking about anything racing related as of right now.

Think about it, besties. High school sucks ass, right? All this crap you gotta force yourself to understand the concepts of, and most of it is probably not interesting in the slightest, which makes it even harder to comprehend.

Not to Takumi. Sure, he's not gonna be a genius with perfect grades, but he definitely passes all of his class with a B- or higher.

Tak barely has time to think, let alone overthink a concept of school material, so instead of trying to understand why it is the way that it is, he simply... does. He basically goes, "there is no think; only do."

He just copies what the teachers explain and it sticks. He doesn't think about it. Take math for example.

The teacher writes down a specific equation with specific numbers. Now, the assignment is the same equation, but different numbers. Some people, myself included, HATE this. It makes it feel like it's harder to solve it now and looks like a whole new equation.

Takumi however, just switches the numbers from whatever the teacher wrote, to the assignment's numbers and solves it no problem. Itsuki HATES him for that. Man's completely jealous.

It's the same with how Tak learned to drive manual and the 8-6. He didn't overthink the concept of why you need a clutch or why you need to shift gears and use the pedals in a specific order, he simply did it and didn't question it. The SpeedStars make fun of his simple mind, but oohhh how I envy it.

Onto the next topic. I feel like some of his pet peeves would be being called "Kumi" cause it sounds more feminine, but Tak and obviously his full name is fine.

Doesn't like the sound of dragging feet, i.e shoes dragging on pavement, but likes the crunchy sound of walking on loose pavement, i.e those little pebbles on the shoulder of the road. Oddly specific, but I see it in him.

Doesn't like his hair or head being overly touched unless it's with his S/O. Is fine with it if one of his buddies is trying to get something out of his hair that's stuck, but for anything else, leave his head alone.

Is probably clothing selective, thus why he tends to wear the same or very similar outfits a lot. Certain textures bother him, so a simple soft, cotton shirt like his usual white one is perfect for him and he probably bought a crap ton by the multi-packs. Same with his jeans or kahki-textured pants.

Loves the feeling of silk, hates velvet. He'd be on cloud 9 sleeping on silk bed sheets, but hand him a velvet blanket and the texture that isn't as smooth when you push it against its flow makes his skin crawl. Idk how else to explain it, but its like he's mostly fine with following the flow of the velvet like how an animal's fur coat flows one way, but as soon as he brushes his skin the opposite way against the flow, he's done for.

Moving on to more of his general likes and dislikes, he loves sour candy but can't handle too many sweet things. The sugar gives him teefie aches. 😔

Loves spicy food, can't handle hot food. Like that hot bean bun Itsuki gave him in early Stage 1 and he starts fucking dry heaving. 😀

With spicy food, he can probably handle a lot and call it mild. Seeing as wasabi is commonly used on the side with many foods in Japan, he probably loves to use a lot of it for taste as well as spice so if you're dating him and can't handle spice or wasabi well, you're gonna look at him like he's psychotic.

(Side note, I also headcanon this for Shingo. Something about Ratman tells me he could eat the spiciest curry or sushi or whatever and be like, "ehh, it tastes good, just ain't spicy enough." and shrug it off. Meanwhile you'd probably have a running nose and gone through a box of tissues. He could probably eat a single ghost pepper and either finally fucking die, or be like, "Hey! Finally something with the right amount of spice! 😀" He's annoyingly cute.)

Anyways, back to Takumi! I believe his favourite colour(s) would either be blue, green, and/or white.

His favourite meat is salmon, also loves fatty tuna when sushi restaurants get it in season. His favourite veggies are broccoli and carrots. I see him eating fried tofu, chicken and mixed veggies with rice a lot at home. Whatever they don't sell at the shop they probably make it for dinner to save money and food.

Loves raspberries and strawberries, can only eat a small handful of blueberries before he gets sick of the taste (same with black olives).

Likes Eurobeat, but doesn't blast it. I see him playing it lightly like Yuichi did in the car when he past Takumi in the first episode. Just simple background noise.

Probably likes the Move band as well that the anime plays a lot, so I see him liking a bit of pop music too. Not a fan of metal or rap but likes the occasional classical song. It just makes him more tired, honestly.

Loves tea and coffee, pretty much any kind. Occasionally partakes in a fruit smoothie or a soda but not often.

Also a water chugger. I see him always having a glass or bottle of water on his bed shelf for the middle of the night when the sudden witching hour thirst wakes him up.

On to what ya'll have probably been waiting for: Relationship HCs! (Once again thanking @skeleton-beneath-this-skin for this part of the brainstorming!)

Tak is great boyfriend material, however is probably too shy for anything PDA, but will make up for it in other ways!

I do, however, see him holding your hand in large places like a mall just incase he spaces out and accidently loses you!

His hold would transition to hooking his arm in yours or holding your waist if you both end up in a crowded area, so he can both see and feel that you're with him the whole time and you don't get separated.

He's a strong believer in the sidewalk rule without evening knowing that it exists. It's just a subconscious instinct for him to walk on the outer part of the sidewalk closer to the road and you on the inside.

He's a great person to vent out your emotions to!!

If you're at his place or yours in either of your rooms and you had a bad day, he'd pick up on it easily through your body language before you even get a word out. If you're the type to go silent when things bother you, he'd notice easily since you're not your talkative self like you usually are with him.

If you ask him if you can just vent for a few minutes, he'd nod with a hum, getting himself comfy on the bed and leaning back against the wall.

Crossing his legs, he'd motion for you to sit on his lap, and help you wrap you legs around his waist as you lean into his chest. He'd rub your back and hair as you vent, and if he had an okayish or worse day as well, the rubs actually help him calm down too.

He ends up distracting himself with the motions, and feeling you on top of him is like a weighted blanket, simply bringing further comfort knowing you're here with him.

He will most likely zone out while you're venting, absentmindedly nodding along to your background voice. If you're used to this behaviour of his, this can work out great and here's a few reasons.

Firstly, he won't give you advice or solutions that you don't want if he's not listening to begin with lol.

Secondly, you're venting just to vent and get it off your chest with no judgement. Thus, literally talking TO him like a wall, helps more than keeping it bottled inside and talking about it to yourself in your head, whether he hears it or not.

Lastly, his calm demeanor ends up helping to calm you down faster as well, the more you talk and the more he rubs soothing patterns and pressure into your back, arms, hair, etc.

Another big part of your relationship with Takumi is napping.

Hell yeah, imagine taking a fat ass nap with the King of Sleep. ✋🏻😌

Especially if he's in those silk sheets from earlier, ya'll are goooooone. Out.

Imagine being in bed with him in the winter time, under some soft and comfy blankets, maybe even a heated one. Cold pillows under your head and you're nuzzled up against Takumi and your pillow in that specific position that has you tapping out instantly. Ugfhhh... THE DREAM.

Next up, him driving with you in the 8-6. Certified passenger princess in the famous Trueno. Always kicks Itsuki to the back seat. If he keeps complaining like that, he's gonna toss him in the hatch next like he's a crate of tofu.

Doesn't mind if you sit or lean on the car, he knows you're gentle with his baby and his eyes always fall back on you when you're on it with a blush.

Silently relishes in the fact you're dedicated to be at every race he's in, always looking back at you before he takes off down the pass, ensuring you're the last person he sees before he drives off.

If you're dead set on being there for his Project. D travels, he'll tell you, you don't need to go every time, and he understands if one of their stops is too far and late at night for you.

Will be happy and feel bad at the same time if you do attend somewhere far and ride with him in the 8-6, meaning you're gonna be stuck there with them until they leave, instead of bringing your own car and being able to go home if you need or want to.

If you've got an adventurous personality and travel with him a lot for Project. D, and even before, he'd like to drive you around to places you want to visit, shops, onsens, restaurants and the like.

I don't see it happening all the time, but it may be a tad more frequent during Project. D, but he's still kinda a broke teenager, especially after Bunta used all his money for the new engine, so I don't see him wanting to splurge a lot.

Personally, if it were my idea to go places that require spending money, I have the full intention of buying things myself, and at the very least my half of the restaurant bills.

If anyone agrees to this or does the same, Takumi would feel like he got a mountain lifted off of him lol. Poor boy would be hella worried about going out so much.

Of course, if he ever had the idea to take you places, it would be a vice versa scenario and he'd pay for it all, of course.

On to holidays, I see him enjoying them more once you come into his life. It was said in the show that he and his dad didn't celebrate Christmas since he didn't have a mom or see extended family, so he wouldn't get more into it until the season comes around and sees how excited you are for it.

Same with other holidays, he'd get into some simple aspects of Valentine's Day, get you chocolates, a plushie of your favourite animal, and maybe a little dinner somewhere.

He'd like Halloween too, but dress up minimally if at all, rather enjoying seeing you all dressed up and going the whole nine yards. He would wear matching outfits for you if you asked him to, though.

Overall, Takumi would be a really great boyfriend. Definitely husband material.

lore dump!!!

ship: jr² (jean-ralphio x jerome-reyes aka meee)

source: parks and recreation

words: 3k so far but this is still a wip so ,,

2x13 the set up- we meet when he visits the office to apply to be ron's assistant. after ron declines, jean hangs around tom/leslie's office a bit bc he's bored or whatever. i go in to get smth from leslie's part of the office and tom introduces us n we meet 🤝🤝 he's prob instantly intrigued by me bc i look #cool with my dyed hair. and i think he's Just Some Guy DKSNHS. heprobably thinks i'm cute or whateverrrr 🙄🙄

between 2x13 to 2x23 at least two months pass during these episodes so we'd get closer and become friends,,, jean sometimes stopping by initially to see tom and asking if i'm around :3c #eventually we start hanging out a bit outside of.. city hall lol. if i'm at the mall, i'd stop by lady footlocker to see him and annoy him for a bit ^__^ . for the telethon episode, he'd stay up and watch it to support (also partly bc i'm involved w it) and he'd call multiple times to donate and then stays on the line for like 15 minutes so he can talk to me lol

2x23 the master plan - i volunteer to help tom and donna set up april's birthday party at the snakehole lounge. yk jean doesn't rly help w anything wGKSN but he def hangs around me (follows me like a puppy lol) and talks to me (annoys me). during this ep jean's constantly flirting with april (which she only lets slide bc she wants to make andy jealous) but he's not even into her. he's already harboring a crush for me but he feels he might not have a shot with me (there's prob instances where he tries to flirt with me but i'm not picking up on the signals [#autism] and i think he's just joking so i jst awkwardly laugh along and don't think twice abt it. so he thinks i wouldn't be interested-) SO he flirts w her to keep his mind off me idk whateverrr. i find them being together odd but i just shrug it off like Ok. that's a thing i guess. anyways hbd april <3 fsNHS. anywaysanyways whenever he's away from her he's trying to find me (i am easy to find. partly bc dyed hair also i would just be by the bar or hanging awkwardly around ppl i know like a lost child) so we can hang out more. uhmm yeah.

3x7 harvest festival - s3 kicks off close friends era :3c i help set up the harvest festival (naturally), and jean visits once it's all up and running. 40% he comes bc it seems fun then 60% bc he wants to see me (and annoy me) hehe. we're def playing all the games there and having competition's on who's better (anytime i lose i say it's rigged and he laughs) and after i lose a couple times he feels bad and gives me some teddy bear he won to make up for it. we're absolutely going thru that corn maze, i manage to navigate thru it pretty well meanwhile he's of no help (of course) and he just watches me lol. we go on that ferris wheel (i'm internally dying bc hhh close contact makes me crazey so i keep a respectable distance but he loves being close to anyone and doesn't know what personal space is so he unintentionally scoots closer and maybe our knees brush and our shoes touch. but it's whateverr) and when we get to the top he tries to take a picture of the view and succeeds and then he tries to take a selfie of us and nearly drops his phone (i of course laugh at him)

3x9 andy & april's wedding - uhm not much to say here for this ep. jean visits andy n aprils wedding to help tom make a best man speech and they prob consult me on it and i'm just like 'oh wow that's Awful. Please use it' fSHNK and then we're all bummed when tom doesn't get time to say his speech. wish i had more to say for this ep uhh me and him just hang in the kitchen watching the wedding c: when mouse rat starts performing and everyone starts coupling up and dancing he prob drags me to dance with him (i'm the closest person to him it doesn't mean anything) (also he still does this even tho i'm like umm actually lets Not do that 😀-) (i overthink it and get confused bc some ppl are dancing slowly so i'm just . ??? and place my hands on his shoulders and he laughs and is like nooo no not that kind of dancing and i want to explode but he finds it cute)

3x13 the fight (my 2nd fav ep wooo) - i'm sitting w tom at a table and jean comes over to chat. during this ep jean constantly makes raps with ppl's names but just can't end them on a rhyme, so. Obviously. he tries to make one out of my name. he fails miserably and i'm like "....well i do have two first names, so you can try one with 'reyes'. ykno, maybe you can redeem yourself" and he does and fails again and me and tom are like "that's worse... How is that Worse" WKEHSJG. i feel like at some point i'd just be vibing by myself at a booth and he comes over n talks to me. everyone in this ep is so Out There (mainly cus they're drunk lol) and i'm just very To Myself (just in general but esp so at a club. which is not my normal environment-) and he tries to get me to have fun/be outgoing. 100% he drags me to the dancefloor (despite me saying i do not want to do that. also he clarifies he doesn't mean dance as in slow dance and he makes fun of me for trying to slow dance with him that one time but if i wanted to slow dance with him he'd be honored to do so and i'm just like '😐😐🙄🙄 Can you Shut Up. i hate you' but he just finds it funny. he looves annoying me) . also i just realized i would have to not only deal w everyone being drunk (i'm the only sober one along w chris and donna) but i'd have to deal w jean being drunk.. and he's a sad drunk (or at least with snakejuice he is)... g-dwjgsdhj. i'm just sitting at the bar on my phone and he comes up like 'heyyy *insert stupid nickname he makes up for me here* my man hows it going' and we chat which quickly turns into him just randomly discussing abt his parents unhappy marriage and how he's secretly insecure and feels so lonely etc KWGNSJD and then i'm just stuck with him. i'm Uncomfortalbe With Emotions so it's awkward for me but i do comfort him. maybe a timid hand on his back as a sign of support. idk if he'd even remember it bc of how drunk he is but if he does he'd appreciate it. i'd tell donna (who drives everyone who's drunk home) to text me when she gets him home and the next day i'd text him saying i hope he's feeling better. or whatever. omg idc

3x16 li'l sebastian - so during this ep jean tries to convince tom to join him and create entertainment 720 (multimedia conglomerate... they literally do the same stuff as waystar royco, but they don't Actually do it cus they're so bad at their jobs lmao), while also working on the memorial for li'l sebastian together. i would be helping them w the video presentation that happens later that night (i'd also help with smaller stuff for preparing the memorial). tom is off discussing plans with someone else and while jean and i work he talks abt entertainment 720, and how they'd need video editors and suggests i could work w them. i say i'm totally down for it and that it sounds fun and at the end of the episode when they create the company i work there with/for them :3

entertainment 720 time !!!! lowkey best era bc it starts best friendism + mutual pining (i finally like him lol) + has all my frens yay

it's brought up in a later episode but canonically happened during the opening day/night of their company, so i'll put this early. they throw a party for opening and during it, jean dances too hard with tessa (their receptionist. i have one-sided beef with her but that's not important here) and literally breaks a rib 😭 ,, me him and tom would leave for an ER trip and eventually tom would head back to the office, but i'd stay with jean. he's very adamant abt wanting me to head back and keep the party going ~in his honor~ but i'm like 🤨 No you Idiot i'm staying here. and i do. i think down the line, since the rib didn't heal properly on it's own, he'd get surgery (and i imagine lu [his dad], who's already a doctor, would find the best of the best for him lol). ofc i'd be there for him and help him during recovery n whatnot,,

i already mentioned what the company does a little bit, but basically they create/produce media. except tom and jean are incapable of running a business so they.. immediately kill it within two - maybe three ish months and go bankrupt wHKSNH. anyways, majority of their workload is doing like.. animal memorial videos. tom Actually knows how to edit and he's capable of Working- whereas canonically jean doesn't know a single thing abt editing. which is where i'd come in and give him a 101 on premiere. he absolutely is notttt paying attention, instead just looking at me (like that simmosa scene from superstore) and looking away whenever i glance at him. i set a project up together to show him everything and i let him try it out and he deletes shit on purpose to get on my nerves n whatnot lmao (<- likely end credits scene).

i stay after work a Lotttt. i'm a perfectionist and as soon as i finish one commission i start another (i'll have less to do the next day ok it makes sense <3). anytime i work late, he stays behind bc he doesn't want me to be alone. he also insists on driving me home instead of letting me take an uber ("it's safer!!"). the office is filled with tons of games bc no one there does any work lol- there's sections for golfing, video games/an xbox, pool, etc etc. when it's like 11pm and we're still at the office and he notices i've not taken a break for a while he would literally drag my chair away from my desk so i can either get some rest n take a nap on one of the 800 chairs/couches they have for whatever reason or he drags me to play one of the 30 games the office has with him. we'd play pool where we're both pretty bad at it lol like at best our high scores are 2-3 (either way)- i'm rusty and don't play it often so i'd maybe be struggling trying to remember how to Play The Game but he's like Hey dw i can teach you 😁 and gets behind me and puts his hands on mine and helps me with positioning the first shot while explaining the rules (we prob make up our own rules tho bc. of course) (he absolutely does this to flirt [but i don't catch on]. which frankly he shouldn't be doing since he's my boss wHKSKN he's soo lucky they don't have hr).

i know for a fact they have a x box too we'd aaabsolutely play that during late nights at the office. they'd probably have gta n stuff on there but i Knowww they'd have the Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games i feel it in my bones (i only say these two bc this season takes place in 2011-2012 and those are the only ones released of the franchise). he/tom prob got them bc they see batman and go 'oh yeah he's pretty cool'… they've probably played like 40 minutes at best bc they're not that good at fighting lol. we turn the system on one day and i scroll thru the library and get jsjldjnsg!!!! over seeing them in there and he's Intrigued and we talk abt it a lil bit and decide to play the games (i play and he commentates) and now that's like a thing we progress on anytime we're the only ones at the office and he Actually gets invested in it. he asks tons of questions abt all the characters n stuff and lets me infodump and finds it cute ghhhhhhh (also mayhaps feels a Lil bit jealous whenever i'm running around in-game to get all of the riddler trophies and infodumping abt eddie and giggling anytime he talks in-game bc i love him and he's my fav hehe)

wait sorta same vein but he'd also see me and ben talking during lunch breaks or smth abt dc or star wars (our shared special interests) and having lengthy discussions abt it and jean notices and also mayyybe feels a bit jealous over that too. so later he googles like Less Know DC Facts n stuff and next time he sees me he Casually drops them in conversation to try to impress me 😭 (he gets some of them wrong tho and i have to kindly be like '…….ok i hate to do this but actually-')

4x6 end of the world (aka my fav ep hehe) - this is the ep where Unfortunately e720 dies wHKSNG, bUT on the bright side it is also the ep where we become canon <3

i'm helping them clean out the office near the beginning of the episode (i mean they have movers taking everything out but i'd help yk). we all have drinks to celebrate :> i bring some little treats as a celebratory thing as well and we practically have our own chantony spaceforce moment (i can't find gifs of it so just watch the intro to that edit sorry 😭 altho i'll say that whole edit Is uscore)

during the planning of the party, they hire a marching band to do a drumline at some point. tom and jean get marching outfits but for whatever reason they're not matching, tom's is blue/yellow while jean's is black/pink (and i believe the band's is black/red). jean's excited to show me his outfit, since black/pink are (2/3rds of) my favorite colors and also the colors of my hair. i find it a sweet lil coincidence and don't think twice on it (he's probably trying to impress me or smth or hint that he likes me but i am #oblivious), but it's nice yk :3

me, jean, tom and donna are hanging out and discussing the party. during this, lucy (tom's ex) shows up bc jean texted her early to come visit, and she and tom reconcile/hang out for the rest of the party. i leave the group for a bit to chill out in the pirate ship bouncy castle by myself (i could probably go into 3 out of the 4 vip rooms they have, but eh). after seeing tom/lucy hit it off again, jean decides he wants to confess to me before the night's over. he eventually finds me and we just sit together talking. i go on a tangent about thanking him and tom for this opportunity and how fun it was to work w them (even tho they barely worked lmao) and to get closer w them and blah blah blah. he's quiet during this but it's not like a bad quiet, like he's just rly listening. when i finally shut up he agrees w like everything i said and just adds onto it. he says he really enjoyed my company and i'm like 'yeah :> same here' and there's just a silence (tension? 🤔) for a min while we just sit together skhDNG,, i start to talk abt smth and he just. kisses me. and i'm frozen wsDKH he thinks my reaction is negative so he starts to apologize so i'm like ??!?!?! i'm trying to talk but i can't get the words out (i am v awkward lol) but eventually i do and i'm like "!???! UhhhH NO NEEd to apologizE!! i mean i uhh i like you. too. so. yeah. There..?!? i mean.. If that kiss meant you like me?? which i hope it does? i mean it'd be kinda weird to do that if you Didn't like me??? do you?-" and i just keep going i'm basically a flustered mess and he laughs and finds it cute and he has to cut me off like 'Yes! i like you! for a while now-' and we talk and we start dating yayyy,, (ermmmmmm afterwards he asks if he can kiss me again bc that first kiss wasn't a ~real~ kiss and i can't even speak at that point i just nod. i'm like a scared chihuahua. anyways Umm we #kiss and it's maybe a tad awkward or i'm apologizing profusely bc i'm a dweeb who hasn't experienced physical affection idk what to do i'm just doing what i see in movies and he finds it cute and says it's fine and basically gives me a 101 on kissing and we're all giggly and smiley and can't keep it together bc we feel so happy ,,, also i realize how silly it is to be making out in a bouncy castle when literally anyone can just jump right in or even look inside bc it has windows lmaoo😭😭 i mean i doubt anyone there would gaf. anyways after we eventually decide to go back to a crowd of people and our friends, we'd have to keep a distance bc we're keeping it a secret. also my mom would be there too and i wouldn't want her noticing/finding out bc leslie doesn't like jean 😭)

the party continues into the morning/it seems early afternoon (since it's said they absolutely have to be out the building by 12pm that day), and everyone eventually leaves. i suggest to jean that we hit up jj's diner for some breakfast and we go do that :3c when no one's within ear shot he jokes about this being our first date and i roll my eyes hehe

ummmm during the rest of s4 we're secretly dating. i do have some lore for some eps post-getting-together but iiii don't feel like properly writing them down so. another day <3

i don't know Where but somewhere in season 5 we become public. no one is surprised wKHDNS except like.. ann and leslie. they're surprised for sure. esp leslie like it takes a whileeee for them to warm up to us together wlgdjhn

7x11 two funerals - ik this is like. a huge jump episode wise lol but i'll get around to writing lore for previous episodes at another point. anyways, s7 starts with a time jump, it's now 2017. which means in-universe, we've been together forrr six to seven ish years. during this ep tom's trying to figure out how to propose to lucy who's visiting pawnee again, and one of his ideas is to make a lil action movie short. he goes to a jewelry shop and shoots it. tom, leslie and jean are all in it while i'm the cameraman. during it tom's like.. this hero and jean's some villain and he has henchmen lol and they all fight. during it jean gets injured and gets.. slammed through a glass container with jewelry in it and hurts his back 😭 the afterward's not shown but i'd make sure he's alright and soothe him 3:

later during the ep tom decides to propose to lucy at the snakehole lounge, and jean and leslie are there trying to hype him up. i'm not in this scene but it's still important lore wise- jean and leslie watch the proposal from afar and talk abt how sweet it was. at this point, since we've been together for so long, jean's been thinking about getting me a promise ring. he tells leslie about it, thinking this is the best moment to bring it up. their relationship togethers been rocky since at first she really couldn't stand him lol but she grew to like him and think he's good for me. jean basically gushes abt me and it's rly sweet. he prob shows leslie the various rings he was thinking abt hehe (he settles on matching ones like these. i have the black one and he has the silver one :3c)

that's all i've got for now :D

[stormyoceans]

i'm curious about one thing though, isn't it a bit meh to ship two people when one of them clearly finds it annoying/uncomfortable? although maybe that's just enemies to lovers excellence lol but i usually love enemies to lovers so idk why i don't ship junpo... it's not because of thamepo because i honestly find them a little bit boring for my taste but something about po being so (on the nose) whipped for thame doesn't let me enjoy junpo, you feel me?

i do get what you mean, po is so enamored with thame (and so annoyed by jun sfjksgfj) that for some people may be hard to imagine him ever developing feelings for jun, which is why in the context of the show i also tend to lean more towards a thame/po/jun poly (thamejun is very interesting to me too ngl), but at the same time i think part of the fun of shipping comes from the fact that it doesn't necessarily have to make perfect sense

canon gives us the framework, and within that, we can play with as many possibilities as we'd like, as long as they're interesting to us. this is something that i think fandom has lost a little over time, it seems to me that it has become a bit more rigid compared to when i was younger, but i've personally shipped characters who didn't even interact with each other (like, EVER) just because i thought their dynamic would be fun (shout-out to jayfoei, those bitches truly had me moving differently)

so to me, it's not that hard to imagine junpo somehow happening, but maybe it's because im also very biased towards jun and i don't read po as being uncomfortable with him. annoyed and frustrated as fuck due to a mix of a bad first impression, jun basically being his complete opposite, and po not being able to understand jun's intentions? sure. but uncomfortable? not really, and i think the proof of this is that po is ready to praise jun when jun isn't there to hear him, he doesn't mind touching jun or jun touching him when thame isn't around to see them, and he willingly shared personal stuff with jun when they were trying to bring nano back to the group (which he didn't really have to do for the plan to work)

jun also brings out a side of po that we don't see with anyone else, not even with thame, at least not after the first episode. po is someone who tends to overthink and doubt himself a lot, and he often has a hard time speaking his mind (see: telling the vendor he wants only one sandwich now, for example), but he doesn't have that issue with jun, and sure, one could say that it's because he doesn't care about jun's feelings (although imho po is way too kind for that), or maybe it's because their dynamic allows po to be more open and more true to himself

also, if you think about it, in the first episode po started out disliking thame because he thought thame was like his ex, but then he got to learn about thame and what he truly felt and po's feelings for him started to change, so i don't see why that couldn't happen with jun too, especially since po has never seen jun being vulnerable (in po's eyes, jun is the smart one, the cunning one, the annoying one, the unbothered one, but what if he saw jun struggling and breaking down in front of him????? DELICIOUS)

so yeah, idk. they're obviously never going to happen in the show, and maybe in the next episode the writers are gonna be like SIKE. JUN NEVER LIKED PO. but they still remain a very compelling pair to me, and in my head it's not that hard to imagine a future where thamepo break up and po eventually falls for jun

for some people that may be unrealistic, for me it's not, and i think both point of views are valid. at the end of the day, fiction is our playground, and as long as we don't hurt anybody, we can play pretend with what it offers us in any way that sparks joy!!!!

[abigail]

how do you feel when people check out your outfits? I live in a fairly fashionable city and I'm always enjoying people's fun outfits but I'm a bit unfashionable myself so I always worry I look a bit judgemental maybe?

not to sound odd or whatever but for the most part i kinda love it lol

idk ! like a lot of the time people will smile if they notice me catching them looking at me so i take it as a positive, ive also got a lot of people coming up to me before to compliment my outfit which always always always is the cutest and makes me so happy (fr if you like someone’s outfit and have a second, even in passing, tell them !! i do this all the time too i love to compliment peoples outfits or makeup or whatever)

one absolutely had people look at me funny though, and some (usually men lol) have occasionally look at me in a very creepy way - not a fan of that ! but i try not to let it get to me.. like.. i’ve always dressed in some kind of way that’s stood out a little i suppose and im in my 20’s, ive sort of gotten used to it and for the most part i don’t notice it, also the city i go into most where all my friends live have a lot of vintage shops and trendy looking people and lots of students, so im usually fine

i think if you feel like you can get a quick ‘love tour outfit!’ or whatever in as you pass them, or even just smile at them as you look, then you’re fine, i wouldn’t overthink it !! also you are probably more fashionable than you think - i’ve always thought no one is ever exactly unfashionable, people just have different taste and style, trends don’t matter all that much in the long run

[starscelly]

Hi Cel of Starscelly fame! I have a question I'm going to my first ever hockey game in April and I was wondering since you've been to many how can I prepare so I can have a good time

ANON my friend i have perfected the art of attempting to have a good time i'd like to think!!!! obvs its gonna differ per person but this is what has worked for MY neurotic ass over the years!

most importantly there is NO wrong way to enjoy a hockey game. i used to be stressed i'd miss stuff if i looked away for a second or be worried abt checking stuff on my phone and looking stupid bc i should be #lockedin ... it's not that serious DONT overthink it !! let ur spirit lead you to what feels right!

if you go to warmies (which i recommend! its just good silly fun!) i'd lowkey recommend going on the side next to the penalty box... generally less people crowding there than near the bench in my experience. though i know some arenas have it restricted to just behind the net now... but if ur at the aac its a free for all!

also i made the mistake . and this might not be applicable to you! but when i went to my first few games i was SO convinced i'd never go to games again (unemployed era lol) so i tried recording EVERYTHING.... you may return to these recordings/photos not only confused as to WHAT you were recording. but you also might not remember anything you watched. if your brain is like mine. so i recommend just living in the moment as much as possible !!! take a few pics if a guy is in front of you or whatever but its not that serious to archive it all !!! i used to have a full camera roll after every game and now i take like. 12 pictures total.

warmups are on the OPPOSITE end of where they'll shoot twice ALWAYS. so if u buy tickets in fucking. idk. section 116 where they'll shoot on net twice, they'll warm up on the other end of the ice. i forget this often bc my brain is teeny

also if ur willing to get there mad early (most arenas open doors 90mins before the game) . get drinks and do stuff like going to the bathroom first, then go to warmups, then to ur seat. easiest #flow least lines nightmares etc. like you dont need to hang out in ur seat nobody will take it

wait actually maybe this shouldve been at the start. FIGURE OUT PARKING/TRANSPORT EARLY AS FUCKKK even if u dont buy a pass or whatever day of at least figure out what ur doing! it can be a nightmare with some of these cities! i personally love googling like. "[arena name] parking reddit" or "[team name] parking reddit" ... ask the people of reddit. unless ur from the city and know what ur doing lol

ASK THE PEOPLE WORKING AT THE ARENA QUESTIONS.... my ass is always peeking all around the 100s like "hey (: where can i watch the away team warm up (:" bc i am NOT hunting by myself. and theyre always SUPER FUCKING NICE AND HELPFUL whether youre a home or away fan!

also chat to the people next to you if theyre friendly! there is truly no joy like being an away fan in td garden talking up old bostonian men. 2 me. but if they have the same team as you lol even better! you can high five and shit and commiserate over stupid calls. beautiful stuff!

ultimately. GET INTO ITTTTTT people act embarrassing at sports games ALL THE TIME. it was a struggle for me at first (#EasilyEmbarrassedGang) stand when ur team scores if ur able, sing along to the music, do all the chants and cheering, etc etc ! let urself enjoy the moment! there WILL be more hockey games in the future but you wont have THIS exact game again yk!

I don't mean this is an insulting way, I'm just curious. What about dott interests you? Are you just a big Scott and/or Dawn mark or do you find the potential interesting/funny?

I totally forgot about this ask because I was planning to write a massive novel on it but tbh I don't have time for that

Scott is one of my favorite characters and I discovered Dott shortly after revisiting the series through old TD art. Idk, I just think it started out as just I thought they looked good together, than it's me and I had to overthink it like I do with everything.

There's just something about their rivalry, Dawn's eagerness to hear him out (enough to believe him about B) the whole snow fort scene- only for Scott to betray her. I find the entire dynamic so interesting, Dawn canonly has these super natural powers (vaguely even implied that she can predict the future) and like, you would think she would see Scott's betrayal a million miles away, yet she doesn't. She's blindsided.

Yeah it's a kid's show no shit it wouldn't be fun if Dawn was OP but idk.....I can't help but wonder maybe if the reason she tricked was because she had feelings for Scott, or at least wanted to give him the chance to prove her prediction wrong. Maybe she saw a lonely farmer's boy and couldn't help but want to try.

Another part of me likes that they both enjoy the outdoors, both of them having knowledge about stars, Scott's reaction to being called Beetlewhisperer. They are both (in their gen) somewhat of outcasts, the others either are put off by them or disliked (yes hot take Dawn wasn't liked by her peers. Lightning called her Creepy Girl and everyone she interacts with minus B are seen to be uncomfortable with her comments).

There is a lot to explore with these two, I would argue you don't even have to see them as a romantic ship, they still have a interesting connection.

I will say a lot of old Dott art does wobbify Dawn a bit too much for my liking, I honestly think Dott is so much better when you lean into Dawn's weirdness. Scott could make her worse or Dawn could make him weirder lol. I still do appreciate the art people make and still do make for this fandom, idk it fills me when a sense of fondness. It's always nice to see people have a genuine passion for a pairing.

My only wish is that I were a better artist so I could contribute to the fandom.....it does make me sad to see how dead the Dott tag is, though in a strange sense when my posts come up I feel a little better. I guess I want to say that there's still Dott fans kicking, you just got to find them.

So I've definitely manifested a lot in the last few days and I'm just so proud and happy.

So at first I wanted this job right, it's called Au Pair, basically an exchange program and taking care of kids from people in a different country and when we have time off we can explore Paris or wherever we are, you know. So I really wanted to do that and I was reading up on it and then decided to get another job that pays a lot so when I go be an Au Pair ill have enough money to do anything in France (where I want to go, you can go to any country besides ur own and UK if u from US, unless I manifest it differently but I am lazy)

So I decided one day to somehow find a fun job that pays 5k a week and I think either later that day or the next day my mom sends me this job offer on indeed which was a cruise ship and I signed up right away (the pay 15 an hour but.. I KNOW I'm getting 5k a week)

I researched that and heard.. Really good things about it... But I know it's gonna be fun, only like 6 hours every day- one break day and one half day so it will be so fun and for 20k a month? Hell yea.

So the manifestations- I heard from research it was so hard to get responses in time, like so hard some people where emailing crazy to this company to only be told they missed something or they were already set, there was no communication and I was like ummm no I'm getting instant replys. And I did-

I did the interview, got the application like two hours after cuz I knew I was gonna get it and I just watched YouTube to keep it from making me overthink, the next day I got both an offer letter and the onboarding contacted me. Which mind you even the interview person said that it will take around 3 weeks to get all of that, which is crazy.

Another thing is, I need to pay for only one thing and they pay for the rest.. I didn't have any way to pay so I've been affirming that everything always works out for me and yesterday I got a text from someone and I told her about it and she set me up with something that can pay it all-its only 125.25

Mind u again, this all started Monday with a collective virtual interview with 70 people, it was the first interview of the week (cuz people signed up for it) so the fact that they emailed me so fast was definitely my doing.

So now I'm visualising and affirming how good and fun this cruise job is, because it is, why wouldn't it. I see the part where when I don't think about it so much and overthink if I'm just gonna get on a ship where they overwork you, I am a God, I control this world this world loves me and can't control me 🥰. It's crazy how easy this is tbh, ik I've heard it before and took it in but just saying I got it already and just going about my day and getting it like the same day, 😖😍 it's so awesome.

All methods I really did was my voice in tik tok telling me over and over "everything always works out for me" (only has it playing once a day for idk how long-for 2 days) and being confident, that confidence really played a role in this whole thing. I talked about the job like I already got it, talked about the planning of it before I even got the offer letter, visualized packing cool clothes in my luggage, researching onboarding advice etc.. For a while (it's been 5 days-its only 6am so 4 days lol)

As everyone says, "act as is" act as if you already have it, keep that state and watch a normal YouTube video (not on manifesting or shifting) or before bed, act as is and then go to sleep no need to get into this alpha state or void state (you are void) if you had that thing you wanted, would you try to keep awake and do all of this stuff? No you'll go to sleep like normal, you'll get it, it's that easy.
