#if yall have anything nice to say i'd appreciate it

[strxbrymochi]

i know im quite late but this has been stuck in my head and i need to get it out so here are my 12am impulse thoughts,,,

how i imagine nct dream would be on valentine's day;

note: this is just the vibes i get from seeing them and 100% based on my delusional imagination

mark;

i am extra delulu for this man rn its so bad

i feel like he would be such a wholesome valentine date

straight up imagined some sort of serenading going on bc hello guitar skills?? and his voice??

i'd imagine he'd gift you some sort of designer thing (just cause i think he's the type to spoil u for special occasions bc ur his girl yk screams)

i think good food = good talks = just enjoying each other's company; type of guy i genuinely feel like you can have hour hour hours long convos and not get bored

lots of laughs bc hearing his laugh >>>

feel more home date vibes where you take out your fave foods and just jam out love songs in pjs but i can also see late night walks or going to some lowkey resto so yalls dont get spotted

renjun;

this guy is for real a deep down romantic aint no way with that face and attitude have you seen how he speaks to some of the dreamies??

defs would serenade u if u ask him to (imagine him shy at first but giving it his all aww)

hands down will gift u something he custom made i do not doubt this given he made custom hoodies for the rest of dream but yours defo will be extra special and made with care <3

can imagine some sort of art date or a quiet night for the two of yalls, him spoiling u a bit cause valentines is extra reason to do so

honestly if i was on a date w him i'd just stare at him ... oops

i think u guys should do the "draw each other" trend as a gift and ur drawing of him looks horrendous (bc u are not as gifted in the arts-- if you are good for u) while his of you looks majestic but he keeps it anyways bc u made it (hearing his beautiful laugh makes it worth ut too anyways)

jeno;

ok look i think jeno's v acts of service-y

wouldn't question if he attempts to cook for you or do things for you a lot more often on valentines to show his love for u (wake up to meals and a clean house yessir-- only for today tho GAHAHAHAHA)

another one i think would spoil you with designer stuff and just imagine the little cute smile on his face when he watched you open the gifts cause he's out here looking at u w pure genuine love (must be nice)

my man's a gamer would probs challenge u to a game or two before heading out

ice cream !!!!!! i have seen 2 vlogs w him looking for and eating ice cream i think you guys will defs have an ice cream taster or smtg (he's so me!!)

idk bro i love jeno any boyfriend fantasy i have in my dreams is played out by him. TT

haechan;

nah yea atp they'd all spoil you (pls dream is full of loving green forest men)

i can imagine deep talks about your future together like wouldnt be surprised if mans doesnt just propose to you alr thats how much he loves you

clingy clingy boy and he is not afraid to show you and let you know how much he loves u !

would hands down take you to the BEST restos and yalls would have insanely good food

can see some karaoke or bowling or idk just an activity yalls can do together before going home for a quiet night of the talks and just enjoying each other's presence

where do i find one genuine question

jaemin;

royalty treatment all the way

breakfast in bed: check with four course meal, flowers: check, gifts: check, chore-free house: check say less

i feel like jaemin is a very big words of affirmation guy so he will not stop complimenting you or saying he loves you

takes a lot of pictures of you too

yk also i think he'd actually send his mom flowers for valentine's day too

staring at you for hours with that stupid cute grin of his, eyes full of adoration

would have all your wants and preferences memorised hes so attentive you actually dont need to worry or do anything all day (just appreciate it bc u deserve him and his love!!!)

chenle;

(there were like no chenle gifs wtf)

PRESIDENT ZHONG CHENLE!!!!! money moves fr name what u want and u got it, spoiled level 1000 on valentine's day

if he could go around freely i think he's the type to take you to fancy ass restaurants like those rich hotel ones (but like if not that's ok he'll spoil you through other means)

he's a menace sometimes i think he'd joke around and try to get on your nerves a bit for fun like imagine him rocking up and being like what day is it today? oh it's valentine's? what's that idk what that is. was i meant to do smtg for u? (him and haechan fr would be the type to tease u so bad) all that just for laughs i can alr imagine the look on his face

as sweet as he is i think at one point he'd either make you do smtg so stupid w him or get a random ass matching present just for the lols (he rlly doesn't gaf he's so real and u love him for it)

jisung;

my sweet sweet child (we're like the same age)

i feel like he'd be so babie trying to prep everything and making sure everything is perfect for u awwwie

tries to act all tough and cool but melts on the inside, compliment him once he shows that smile of his and he's down forever

would be the type to get advice from his hyungs on what to do but be so shy when asked (sksks hes adorable pls)

i feel like he would make you a custom gift like something you can take w u always but also get u something expensive idk unless ur not into that stuff GAHAHA

IMAGINE he tries cooking for u but oblivious kiddo ended up burning it but its ok he tried, yalls got takeout instead

OK ALSO think him trying to teach u how to dance that'd be so cute or yalls can end it w a movie just in each other's presence and u fall asleep next to each other on the couch (BYE SO CUTE IM DED)

ok that's it im done i need to sleep good night (stay delulu besties <3)

TIANA

I'd been feeling ill for the last two weeks and had no idea what was going on, so I headed to the shop to purchase a pregnancy test. When I got home from the store, I walked into the bathroom and opened the box while pulling out two of the pregnancy tests. I peed on both sticks while flushing the toilet, nervously walking back and forth, chewing my fingernails. When I flipped them over, I was taken aback since both of them said nice things. I could not believe I was pregnant.

I grabbed my phone and texted Trinity, Bianca, and Emma because we were all in a group chat together.

IMESSAGE GC 💬 Tiana: guys...I have some news... Breezy: bestie what happened?? Trin🤭🫶🏽: yeah, what happened T? Em♥️: what's wrong?

Breezy: BITCH YOURE PREGNANT?????? Trin🤭🫶🏽: TIANA ARE YOU DEADASS RN JOSH GOT YOU KNOCKED UP? Em♥️: omg....😳😳 Tiana: yeah...I am pregnant I haven't been feeling good for the past two weeks so I had to figure out what the hell was wrong with me I couldn't eat anything. Breezy: I'm going to be an auntie!!! 🥹🥹 Tiana: oh my goodness here you go 😭 Trin🤭🫶🏽: I gotta tell Jon about this Em♥️: does that mean we get to take turns taking care of the little one? Tiana: wait don't tell Jon yet because yk he'll go run his mouth to Josh so lemme tell him Trin🤭🫶🏽: fineeee tiana 🙄🙄 Breezy: we finna be aunties yall like omg can't believe this is happening Tiana: lawd but im going to keep these hidden until I see Josh so yall don't say anything to him Trin🤭🫶🏽: alrighty babygirl Breezy: my lips are sealed Em♥️: kk girly. Tiana: thank you I'll ttly

I emerged from the restroom with both pregnancy tests in my hand, still stunned that I was carrying this man's baby. I placed both of them inside my drawer and concealed them behind my clothing as I approached the mirror on my wall.

Lifting up my shirt and massaging my tummy, I imagined myself becoming a fine-ass mom. As I was rubbing my belly, I heard my phone ring and halted my motions to retrieve it off the dresser.

It was Jey calling me. God, I hope the girls didn't tell him; that would just ruin the surprise.

OTP ZaddyJey🤍: hey mamas what you doing? Mamas🩷: I'm at home alone right now chilling since I've haven't been feeling good lately and my hormones has been making me feel emotional too. ZaddyJey🤍: you want me to come over later? Mamas🩷: yesss baby I miss yo' fine ass anyways ZaddyJey🤍: hm, I miss yo' cute ass too love imma slide through later after work I'll make sure to bring some clothes then. Mamas🩷: yayyy my hubby is spending the nighhht ZaddyJey🤍: you're so goofy baby ight then mama I'll see you later I love you Mamas🩷: I love you tooo

CALL ENDED

I laid down on my bed and instructed Alexia to crank up the chilly air. I curled up under my nice blanket, grabbed the remote, and turned on Baddies Caribbean, my favorite program.

While watching my TV, I became tired for a second. I attempted to open my eyes, but it didn't work, so I fell asleep, allowing my show to play itself.

✧.*

I awoke to my phone buzzing. As I managed to open my eyes, I noticed Jey beckoning me. I sat up and peered out the window, noticing his car in my driveway. I dashed downstairs, opened the door, and discovered him waiting there with food in his hand.

"Damn girl, you didn't hear me calling you?" He questioned me while I scratched the crust out of my eyes. "I'm so sorry, Bubba. I was in a deep slumber and had forgotten you were even coming," I said.

"It's alright, Mama. Please let me know next time. C'mon, so we can eat because I know you haven't eaten yet." I nodded affirmatively as I let him inside the home and slammed the door behind him.

He set the food and beverages on the table in the living room. This man bought some Waffle House for dinner since he adored the establishment.

He bought me a grilled chicken sandwich with fries and a lemonade, and he grabbed himself a BLT. I grabbed the remote from the table and turned on Twilight, as it was the time of year when the leaves dropped.

I hope I don't throw up the food he brought for us to eat since I've been feeling terrible all day and haven't eaten anything. While watching the movie, I felt my mouth turn sour, so I jumped up from the couch and hurried to the toilet, vomiting up.

'Goddamnit, this is getting ridiculous.'

I heard Jey's footsteps enter the bathroom as he pulled my hair up and patted my back while I vomited.

After throwing up, I flushed the toilet, wiped my face with a towel, and looked at Jey. I could interpret his facial expression; he appeared worried and perplexed.

"You good mama?" Jey asked.

"Y-yeah, I just need some water to help with all of this." I said, knowing damn well that my pregnancy is causing all of this.

"I'll go grab it for you. Why don't you go lie down on the couch? I'll come meet you." I did what I was told to do, lying down on the couch and rubbing my tummy.

'Hopefully, after this, I could surprise him with the pregnancy test.'

I saw Jey walking towards me with a cold water bottle in his hand. As he gave it to me, I grabbed it from his hand, opened it up, and drank it.

After drinking the water, I placed my head on Jey's lap, continuing to watch Twilight and feeling him play with my hair.

His touch felt calming and comfortable. I looked up at him while his eyes were fixed on the movie, but he could see I was admiring him.

He looked down at me with deep, hooded eyes, seized my chin, and pressed his soft lips against mine, kissing me a few times in the process.

He backed away as he grinned at me. God, he was so beautiful it wasn't funny. I sat straight on his lap, straddling him as I felt him grab my hips.

"I have a surprise for you that you might like," I added, toying with his mullet.

He arched an eyebrow at me, "What kind of surprise?" I chucked at him before jumping off his lap and rushing upstairs to my room. I proceeded to the drawer, grabbed both pregnancy tests, and tucked them behind my back as I headed downstairs. He was sitting there on his phone, waiting for me to reveal his surprise.

When I walked in front of him, his gaze fixed on me. I told him to close his eyes while pulling his hand out and placing both of the pregnancy tests in his hand.

He opened his eyes, seeing them both in his hand. As I watched, his face went into complete shock. He looked up at me, then back down at the tests.

"Tiana, don't play with me right now. Are you actually pregnant?" Jey questioned me.

"Yes, Josh, I'm really pregnant." I said.

"This gotta be a prank. Tink, yo' ass must be pranking me." I shook my head while coming towards him to sit on his lap, playing with his mullet, saying, "It's not a prank, baby. I'm serious."

He scooped me up by the thighs, giving me a few kisses on the lips while spinning me around in the process, causing me to feel dizzy.

Jey smiled at me happily. We are actually going' to become parents like actual parents.

"I am so happy, baby; I'm going to be a father, " he said softly, with excitement in his voice.

"Me too, Josh. I can't believe this is happening," I said before yawning.

Jey took note of this as he grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV before taking his phone and pregnancy tests as he carried me upstairs to my room.

He shut the door behind him with his foot and placed me on my lovely covers while I watched him remove his clothing. His toned skin, strong frame, and gorgeous Samoan tattoos were so exquisite that I couldn't help but approach up to him and stand in front of him as he seized me with his gaze.

Feeling all over his chest and face, he had such beautiful features I couldn't keep my hands to myself as I felt his hand around my waist.

"What's up, mamas?" he said as his gaze shifted to mine. I looked up at him with innocent eyes and placed my lips on his neck, kissing it wetly. I felt his hands slither down to my ass, gripping it tightly as I proceeded to give him wet kisses on his neck, marking him up in the process.

He grabbed my thighs and went backward towards the bed, where he sat down with me, straddling his lap.

He grabbed me forcefully by the throat, stopping me in my tracks. "you know you drive me crazy tink?" He spoke with a heavy tone of voice.

"I know I do so how about you let me take control of the situation and you." I replied with a smile.

I moved off his lap as he shuffled back towards the headboard, slipping his sweatpants and PSD boxers off. Seeing his long and curved dick rise up and strike his stomach.

My mouth watered at the sight of it, and his black stare was fixed on me and my motions as I slid my hair to the side.

SMUT WARNING

I started stroking his dick up and down, seeing the pre-cum pouring out of it and watching him relax via my touch.

I kissed his gorgeous mushroom tip, teasing him slightly as I heard his breathing tremble; he never allowed me to do this to him; generally, he would take charge of the situation or demonstrate his power.

"B-baby, stop teasing me, girl.." he rasped as I chuckled at him before going down on him.

I swirled my tongue around his tip, going all the way down until his tip was hitting the back of my throat.

I bopped my head up and down on his dick, hearing his sweet moans escaping from his lips, gazing up at him. He had his head thrown back on the headboard, clenching his legs in the process.

He opened his eyes, staring deeply into my soul as I continued to suck the soul out of him. Feeling his hand caressing my face.

"Fuckkk, baby, just like that, keep goin'." I loved the way he was sounding right now; it was turning me on even more.

"Mhmm, keep talking to me, love," I mutter softly while continuing to circle my tongue around the tip.

I felt him move his hips, pushing his dick deeper inside of my mouth, grabbing a whole load of my hair, and began to face fuck me. I maintained my breathing as I let him face fuck me hearing his heavy breathing.

"Shit, mama, your mouth feels so good wrapped around my dick, letting me fuck this pretty face of yours." Jey grunted as he continued to thrust his hips.

All you could hear were wet noises coming from my lips as all of my saliva was dripping down all over his dick and my hands.

He abused my throat every chance he got while my eyes fluttered and my throat spasmed. With every single thrust he would just go deeper and deeper I started to form tears into my eyes.

"Ouuu fuck mami...taking me so well...make me nut mama..." his breathing became more shaky and heavy, knowing that he was almost close to his climax.

Feeling his dick twitching inside of my mouth along with his legs twitching too, as his tip was deep inside of my throat.

Rolling his eyes in the back of his head, thrusting his hips in the process, I used both of my hands, stroking him up and down while he did that, driving him insane.

After abusing my throat some more, I heard a loud groan escaping from his lips while his warm seeds spilled down my throat, eating that shit up.

I felt him shaking violently, seeing him pull out his dick away from my mouth, hearing that pop as my face felt flushed, seeing his chest heaving up and down.

I stick my tongue out at him, showing him that I swallow all of his nut, smiling at him as he chuckles at me, trying to catch his breath.

"Yo' ass is nasty baby but c'mere and ride this dick tho mama." Jey said while curling up his fingers.

I did what I was told to do, removing my booty shorts along with my cheeky panties and crawling towards his way before climbing on top of him.

I grabbed his dick rubbing his tip on my now wet folds before sticking it in, I sat down on it as a gasp escaped my lips feeling his hands on my hips as I began to ride him cowgirl style.

I was bouncing up and down on his dick as he was guiding me with my hips we maintained eye contact with each other while he racked his hand onto my ass cheeks as I whined.

"Fuck daddy, this dick feels so good..." I moaned, holding onto his shoulders.

"Yeah? Keep ridin' yo' dick, mama. This is all yours, baby." He replied in a raspy tone.

I had my eyes rolling in the back of my head while throwing my head back in the process as he continued to give my ass a few smacks.

He grabbed me up by the throat, placing his soft lips on mine, slipping his tongue in the process as we tongue kissed each other.

He guided my hips up and down his dick as my walls were clenching around him, causing him to groan between the kiss. Removing his lips from mine, replacing them with my neck, marking me up just like how I did him.

"You're so fucking pretty, you that mama?" He whispered softly in my ear.

"Uhn Huh, daddy fuck..."

I circled my hips on his dick, feeling myself breaking underneath him every single time, spelling my name on his dick.

His tip was hitting my spot as I continued to circle my hips like crazy, causing him to throw his head back in pleasure.

"Keep goin' fo' me baby fuck...this my shit?"

"Yess daddy this is all yours I'm yours forever baby.."

"Damn, right, ma yo' ass better know you belong to." I felt a pit go down my stomach as my facial expressions turned up, which caught his attention, knowing that I was going to cum all over him.

He got some control, firmly grabbing my hips and pushing his hips to meet my motions. Skins were clapping against each other as I screamed his name across the entire bedroom.

He was beating my shit up while I placed my face into his neck, moaning in his ear.

"Mhm, take this dick like a big girl. This shit is making you go stupid." Jey grunted as he continued to hammer into my gummy walls.

I love it when he talks nasty to me; it makes me want to smear his dick with my essence. I clutched his shoulders hard, knowing that I was getting near to my climax. I let out a loud groan as my body began to tremble beneath him, covering his dick with my cream. I wanted to get off of him right now, but he gripped my waist tightly, his powerful arms hammering into my wet creamy cunt deeply.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck Josh please...I can't take it..." I mewled weakly.

"Nah baby take this fucking dick and be a good girl fo' me baby." I did what I was told to do as I let him continue to beat my pussy in.

He was giving me these harsh strokes, kissing me all over my neck while I held his shoulders for dear life, sensing another orgasm approaching. I felt his dick quiver inside of me, knowing he was about to cum in my shit.

I was so overwhelmed that tears welled up in my eyes as I swallowed my saliva and threw my head back. I couldn't even fathom what was going on. 

Making me feel as if my brain needed to be rebooted, he shoved his hips farther into my gushy insides, causing me to gasp loudly as he smirked. Seeing how I trembled beneath his touch.

"Fuck baby, I'm finna nut all in yo' shit stuffing yo' ass like a turkey." After a few more thrusts, he and I came together as a groan escaped from our lips.

I felt his warm seeds inside of me filling me up well as he and I were panting heavily. He pulled his dick out from me, and his seeds were dripping out from my pussy and onto his stomach.

SMUT OVER.

We didn't move an inch from each other as I laid on his chest hearing his breathing going steady while his hands were still wrapped around my waist hugging me.

His lips gently kissed me on the neck and chest before we could finally pull away from each other. We looked into each other's eyes, smiling at each other, and I saw sweat dripping down his body.

"Damn that shit felt so good mama." Jey said.

"Y-yeah it did..ion' think I can move my body at the moment." I replied earning a chuckle from him.

"I can tell c'mon I'll carry you into the bathroom so we can take a bath together ight?" He scooped me up by my legs carrying me inside my bathroom placing me on top of the sink.

Turning on the faucet, he checked the temperature of the bath water, making sure that it wasn't hot or anything.

✧.* After we took a bath together, I was cuddled up on his chest, hearing his heartbeat while he was on his phone, scrolling through his social media.

Meanwhile, I was watching my show, gasping as I watched the girls fight each other, taking each other's wigs off while knocking their heads in.

"Why do you even watch this shit Tiana?" Jey questioned me, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Because bae it's interesting to me and funny don't be hater now." I said sarcastically.

"Mane, I ain't no hater. I'm just saying," he earned a hum from me as my eyes were focused on the show.

I felt his hand on my tummy, pulling me closer to him as he began to rub it before placing a soft kiss on my neck.

I turned my head to look at his features, and he was already admiring me. I kissed him on the lips as he responded.

"I'm so nervous love." I said.

"Why mama?"

"Because what if I'm not a good mom to our little one?" He raised his eyebrow, looking at me.

"Baby, I think you'll be a great mother. Don't doubt yourself, okay? I'll be right there with you," Jey said as he reassured me.

I gave him one last kiss before turning off the TV and getting comfortable in the bed. He wrapped his arms around my waist, whispering in my ear.

"I love you mama"

"I love you too papa."

Welp, after a long... loooooong road of S2 to sift through in HB, here's my official review of the "Sinsmas" finale to wrap things up (*no Christmas pun-intended lol*):

NOTE: My thoughts below will contain some obv spoilers so you miiiight wanna skip this post if you haven't watched "Sinsmas" yet; also like with all my past reviews these are just my personal opinions alone (+fair warning that I'll be getting a bit rant-y later too), so... do remember to keep things civil if you disagree with anything here (and if not, welp... yall are free to block & move on, I guess lol 🤷‍♀️), thank you 🙏🙏

Loona continuing to show more appreciation & excitement around her dad/I.M.P. is great to see, and about time we finally got her joining in on an assassination gig again (which I don't think we've had since S1's "Spring Broken"?). I like her new Hellhound friends shown towards the end too, they look chill~

As much as I've lowkey grown a bit... disinterested in M&M these past few episodes (not to a hate-level or anything but they just don't really... "spark" for me, OTP-wise?), it is nice to see a return to their bloodthirsty-based couple fluff (aka: their lil Sinsmas-based playfight at the beginning), bringing me back a bit to the og pilot days (ex. "Oh Millie" ❤️). -Buuuut dang, who would've thought things would escalate to Millie turning out pregnant?? .o. I know there's been some controversy for Millie's less-than-happy reaction about it towards the end; but honestly I absolutely don't blame the poor gal if you consider: 1) She's a proud fighter & trained assassin who's always been passionate about her current line of work, and (depending on how imp pregnancies work) having this potentially putting her out of a job for a long while would make anyone stressed out imho 2) Imps are considered the lowest-of-the-low ranked species within Hell as it is; with not a whole lot of access to good paying jobs + medical coverage (given Blitz's struggle to get Loona her vaccinations). Imagine you were someone who found yourself expecting a child with a good chunk of Hell not considering you "high-up" enough in the food chain to care... wouldn't you get freaked out too? 3) Lastly, and this being among the biggest points to me personally... did her & Moxxie ever talk about having kids before? Given the implication that they rushed to get married so soon after dating (+Millie not even knowing about Moxx's mafia background til WAY after), I... can't say I'd be surprised if Millie's fear is partially based on how Moxxie would react (for better or worse). Kids are by-far among the biggest dealbreakers for any relationship, so while I don't necessarily think this'll cause something like a split between M&M... yeaaaah I wouldn't be surprised if this still caused some lingering-tension either way, regardless of if they go through with this pregnancy or not 🤷‍♀️ (On a side note; loved seeing Sallie May popping up to give that well-needed support to her sis on the phone, aww 🥺)

The side-story with the "karen" sinner and her ex-drama was... weird, all things considered? .x.;; Like, yeah I can see the importance of how this plays into Blitz's relationship woes & such... but, am I the only one who found it weird the writing going all "moralistic" with Blitz NOT going through with the job, solely cause he imagined his idealized family in Stolas (whom I'll cover in a sec btw-) upon spying on the target + his partner & kids? 🤨 Like... I know I've seen some argue that this is "character development" for Blitz, which I normally wouldn't mind seeing... but mind you, this is the SAME dude who was all-too-fine killing a bratty kid, a wife & her happy (albeit cannibalistic) family, a whole bunch of random college kids on spring break (all for the sake of some parking spot drama with Verosika btw), and not even two shorts ago some horny fangirl got met with the same fate by his hands (mostly due to getting caught up in her own fantasy world... and thats it lol). So I just... have a hard time buying into this being some grand "change of heart" moment for Blitz tbh, cause with this whole episode taking place during the winter holiday season (an already money-draining time irl as-is), I... can't help but find it a lowkey dick move of Blitz to rob his fellow employees of a chance to have some more cash on-hand (esp. after the events of "Ghostf**kers" and him draining the company's finances over his Stolas mope-fest, like come on dude-🤦‍♀️). Heck, if he really-really didn't wanna do it (and this target family seems innocent enough to potentially escape Hell if-killed)... couldn't they have just lied to the lady that they did the deed & take her money anyway (-instead of Blitz immediately punting her out the window 'cause she was bitching about Stolas' writing😑)? Again, this IS Hell we're talking about, so a bit of dirty-dealing doesn't seem far out of the realm of normal there lmao. Buuuut idk, that may just be me... 🤷‍♀️

We're back again with Andre leading the story as the "main" bad guy, and I'll admit his final confrontation with Stolas & the I.M.P. gang was pretty kickass~ From Stolas throwing the first punches at his smug-ass face, the action-increasing with the ice dragons & Loona going "feral"-mode, and even Octavia coming in to defend everyone from her uncle (with her own personal magic) was pretty rad! 🤩👏👏 One thing that's bothering me about it all though... where tf is Stella during all this going on?? 🤨I know the show's pretty much committed atm to making her as one-dimensionally dumb & evil as possible (not even giving her much substantial dialogue after her repeated "hiLARRRIOUS MUAHAAA~" lines 😒 ), but surely someone like her wouldn't miss the chance to see her ex (+affair partner) smacked down by her brother?? Especially once Via arrived, just imagine the juicy drama potential of seeing Stella having to force herself (+Andre) to call off their attack to appease Via (further adding in salt to the wound for her later decision to walk away from Stolas). Hhhhh Viv, why must u be so allergic to developing Stella (antagonism-wise)... 😔😔

Now, as far as Stolas himself is concerned... *-sighs-* I know I'm gonna get some flack for saying this, but I caaaaaan't with his dude anymore🤦‍♀️ Yes, I get he's going through a tough time losing everything + adjusting to a simple life now (along with implied-withdrawal symptoms from the lack of "happy pills"). But just... the way Stolas kept getting MORE & more whiny/unappreciative of Blitz (after all he's done to accommodate Stolas, defend him against other imps, giving him a job at I.M.P. on top of everything-), then never uttering a single "thank you" for Blitz's efforts frustrated tf out of me 😑😑. You expect to buy that these two are these "deep destined soulmates" at the end of the day, to the point of Blitz practically becoming a giddy cheerleader to boost Stolas at every turn... ...and yet, at the same time you're telling me Blitz has never asked about Stolas' eating habits before, nor Stolas ever asking about Blitz's love of horses?? That outside of their failed date at Ozzy's, they never once tried to actually talk, share a meal or hangout aside from their once-a-month hookups (pre-"Full Moon")? Sure, the show implies that Stolas has asked about Blitz's day before (via-some throwaway lines + blink-and-you'll-miss-it texts)... but if the audience never actually sees those friendly gestures on-screen, how am I supposed to buy them being in-love now?? -_- Like, to take a note from "Swan Princess":

Taking away their childhood memory of playing together for a day, the sexual chemistry, the grand gestures, them both having goth angsty daughters... what else IS there for Stolas & Blitz to love about each other, truly? Its one thing if you wanna show them starting over as friends first (awkward roommate-vibes aside), then hell yeah I'd be down to see their rebuilding bond as a more balanced, genuine pairing down the line (making moments like their big kiss + balcony dance 10x more impactful imo)!👍

...But, with how things are now with Viv & crew rushing to go full-romance mode already (regardless of either character's emotional well-being in the story), I... don't think I can see myself joining the Stolas/Blitz ship hype tbh, regardless of what's to come in the next couple seasons...🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Now, to cap things off regarding Octavia in all this... She. IS. A. STAAAAARRR😭🌟👏👏By far the best thing to come out of this finale IMHO; just seeing Via standing her ground as strongly as she did, both in-defense of her dad AND against him... goddd, that was powerful q-q💜 And before anyone mentions it, no I don't think Via was in anyway "wrong" for her reaction to Stolas (regardless of his efforts to reach her by the end). Imagine you're in her position; the product of an loveless, toxic marriage forced upon by a rigid society, living your childhood blissfully unaware & happy until everything comes crashing down in your teen years (through your father's public affair + your mother's rampant rage). All you thought was true is now a confirmed lie, you're stuck in an emotional mess dealing with your parents, and your beloved dad is constantly putting his booty call (+marital drama) a bigger priority over you (albeit unintentionally, but still-)...

Time & time again, Via's been let down by Stolas, the one parent she's always been closest to since the beginning... and to top it all off? Several episodes later, she's watching her father live on TV willingly ready to be executed in Blitz's place (without so much as a single goodbye message to Via, mind you-), effectively breaking his promise that he'd never leave her...

...So, really, how can anyone blame Via for simply being done with her dad, by that point? Stolas may be "trying", I know... but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter that he didn't "mean" to hurt her. What matters most is that... well, he did. More than he can imagine... 💔

------------------------------

...weeeeew okay that was a bit lengthy my bad- lmao. As a whole, I'd say "Sinsmas" was an... ehhhhh-kinda finale? Like yeah I enjoyed the Via focus we got (+her song💜), the ice battle & the improved M&M + Loona writing... buuuuut oof, am I just exhausted by the Stolas/Blitz-melodrama at this point, oml >>;; No shade to those who did enjoy the finale regardless though, yall are more than valid! 👍��� Maybe later on I'll give my overall thoughts on S2 (+the overarching story of HB) further down the line if I'm up for it... buuuuut yeah, hope yall enjoyed reading & thanks for sticking around my page~ (for any newer/older Hellaverse fans alike)!👋✨🌙

AU where Neil never met the Foxes, with a little less mafia and a little more pain for Neil when he ends up captured by Nathan for months, and has to deal with the consequences by himself. He ends up in treatment for chronic pain with opioids, and let's just say opioid use is tricky when you're alone and in pain; one thing can lead to another more easily than it seems.

“What did you take?” Andrew demands. Neil wonders if Andrew will taste all that is wrong with Neil when he kisses him. He wonders if Andrew will recognize it. Andrew knows what it is to hurt himself, and this must be familiar. It’s deja vu, Neil thinks, if only a little bit worse, a little more terrible. Neil shakes his head, groaning into the toilet, “I don’t want to tell you.” Andrew pulls out his phone, and Neil can already hear it dialling when he says, “You can tell the paramedics.” Or; “Cigarettes,” Neil says. “I ate your cigarettes.”

He thinks it means signing his death warrant and losing the Foxes. Betsy, Aaron and the Foxes are determined to convince him it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, his father’s people are coming for him and that’s not even starting on what Andrew will have to say about Neil choosing to martyr himself.

FAQ! to kick off the new year + posting before I reopen my asks! <3

✦ Can I create fanart of your AUs/OCs/Sona?

Yes!! 100% yes! I'm happy to see it!! Please tag + credit me when you post it! Or you're always free to send it into my asks or my DMs! If you're ever unsure about anything, please ask! <3

✦ Can I create fanfic/inspired works of your AUs/OCs?

Yes! BUT...please don't try to write or assume lore for my AUs/OCs in my place! I have these things planned out and eventually I want to share it all in time even if it takes me a while. HOWEVER, I'm totally okay if it's self-inserts/OC-inserts with their own backstories or a Y/N in specific scenarios! I love to see gift/inspired works in the form of drabbles, scenarios, and or fics! Just be respectful about it! Please tag + credit me when you post it!! And if you're ever unsure about anything, please ask! <3

✦ Why haven't you answered my ask/DM?

A couple of reasons..! No time! I work 2 jobs; it's hard to have free time with a chaotic schedule + inconsistent free time! <3 ADHD. (Task paralysis + shit memory has me in a chokehold 95% of the time and I get overwhelmed VERY easily.) My inbox is steadily growing more and more as my blog grows, which is both humbling and terrifying. I really do appreciate your patience and support! For the sake of my mental health, I may opt to not answer at all. Spoilers! Often times I just won't answer because I want to eventually reveal it through art/writing! <3 Discomfort. Now... some of yall get real comfy online. Too comfy. I've had to remove myself from other platforms after weird interactions/bad experiences in the past. Please keep in mind that I am a human reading all of this. If this problem becomes more prevalent, I will turn off anon and or close my asks again.

✦ Can I send NSFW fanart/fanfics for your AUs and OCs?

My tumblr is a intentionally curated to be a safe space for ME that's separate from NSFW content, but... Yes, you can. However, if my boundaries change I'll update this. You can send any art or writing in my inbox or tag + credit me in a post. I won't reblog, but I will appreciate it nonetheless! Which is to say, I do have a NSFW account on Bluesky that is desolate and empty rn. If you somehow find the account, I'll eventually post stuff there. If you are a minor interacting with my NSFW account, you will be blocked. If you are a minor sending anything NSFW, you will be blocked.

✦ What is your art program / setup?

✿ Equipment ✿ PC/Laptop: Lenovo Ideapad 3 Tablet: Huion Kamvas Pro 16 (got this one in 2021 during a holiday sale + my old tablet was on its last leg and wouldn't work some days cause i literally drew so much there were huge holes etched into the plastic) Previously, I used a Huion Inspiroy H950P or drew on my phone :)

✿ Program/Software ✿ Paid: Clip Studio Paint Pro/EX (Currently using!) Free: Ibis Paint X, Krita, Firealpaca, Medibang (I've used all of these over the years since 2015, which I think they're fantastic for what they are + they get the job done!)

DO NOT put me on a pedestal or treat me like a celebrity. I am not your idol nor do I owe you anything. I'd prefer to be treated like a normal person, so please be nice! Spamming me or demanding me to respond in DMs will only result in you being blocked. DO NOT upload my art or writing to any AI whatsoever. There are no exceptions and you will be blocked.

[aro-rambles]

Hello! My Blog isn't aspec related so I thought I'd share my two cents here

The recent aro hate on this website is INSANE. As someone who is new to tumblr, seeing this in a predominantly queer-centred website is unfathomable.

Equating aro people to "no strings attached" is illogical and stems from the allo-amato notion that there are strings to be attached in the first place. Physical pleasure and emotional fulfilment are two completely separate concepts.

Portraying cishet aro men as people who are just leading on the poor women infantilizes women. This is just misogyny packed as discourse. If a cishet aro person is indeed being a dickhead, they're just a dickhead and we can all call them out on that like we call out any other dickhead

To the queer people equating aromanticism to pedophilia, how do y'all not remember that how gay men were treated back in the day? How we were cordoned off from society to "protect the children"? Do better, people

To the aspec people being accused of doing this just to be able to use a slur, fuck that. The exclsionists seem to have forgotten what a reclaimed slur means, or what queer means. Queer simply mean strange. Have they.. forgotten that aroace people are the queerest ones out there. Challenging not only heteronormativity but also allonormatovity and amatonormativity. They're the ones being called weird for not dating or having crushes or swooning over the random hot guy on the street or fantasizing about a white wedding. The ones treated as immature by their peers for not having a partner yet. And people think they aren't queer?

Fuck the exclsionists. I LOVE your posts. I'm sure I'm surrounded by people hating in anon in your ask box and I'm sending them all the hate in my heart. I love your blog and the aro community is one of the most inclusive I've seen on here. Love y'all and stay strongggg

ok so I'm very sleepy and my brain is like some sort of sauce currently so I'm gonna put numbers before each thing I say bc it's easier, don't worry about it

1 thank you for sharing your two cents, I think I agree with everything you said (can't be sure bc my brain is some sort of sauce currently but I'm sure I'd have noticed if I disagreed)

2 I want to go on The Slur Rant (tm) so bad but the internet is simply not prepared for it and I would rather not have to deal with the annoying fucks who'd disagree with me. not sure why I said this or why I got so aggressive at the end of that last sentence but here we are.

3 I'm sure there was something else I wanted to say before what I'm gonna say next but I forgot, sorry

4 my dude you are not in fact surrounded by hate in my askbox!! there's actually more nice messages than anything else <2 and also whenever I get anon hate I just block on sight now so it's fine. but yeah I would like to thank everyone for the kind words and everything. I love yall except for the ones who rather I didn't, in which case take your pick, we got uhhh cherish, appreciate, like but stronger, and. :3 (<- consider this a verb).

5 thank youuuuuuuu <222

6 sorry I took a while to answer this ask hope you see it even though I'm posting this at horrible hours gdhdjdjdk

snuggling is for the lovers (Love Sea ep 7 thoughts)

can the iq web platform PLEASE work properly upon startup for ONCE!!! yall got people paying for your platform and its STILL being held up by the strength of 2 wobbling twigs

ANYWAYS...

when tongrak scoots closer to mut after being told "can't i worry about you?" yea he loves him so bad. fp has the fluff-comfort dynamic down, memorized, natural, no notes needed.

and OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH the part where rak has to send money to his dad. i gotta say peat is so natural at playing the fearfully anxious traumatized character. this is not his first rodeo so he's got it down. and then way he rushes into mut's arms for comfort... yeah.

IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE PLEASE DONT GO ANYWHERE EITHER????????????????? send me to my grave thanks.

they really said YES prin is the villain but she WILL SLAY THE LOOK!!!

also again, the millionth time, fort looks SO hot when he's annoyed/mad/serious. someone get him a serious ass role. i honestly hope that water splash scene only took 1 take bc if ivy had to splash herself multiple times for it i'd feel so bad LMAOO

boss looking SO FINE in that vip room scene... whew

please give mahasamut the best love interest award. it's a no brainer sweep for me.

it's an event about the boy next world but the standee is love sea LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?????

and mut telling rak he's loved by many people!!!!!!!! I KNOW THAT'S RIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!

i think the highlight of this ep is rak's obvious growing feelings for mut, he's just in grand denial of it. the way he climbs back into bed and holds mut's hand to calm down. rak asking mut to hold him!! and at dinner, he's just in his little own world with mut while vi is trying to talk to him. yeah khun tongrak u r down BAD.

and i appreciate the last scene so much. it's actually very nice advice.

the ending credits this time is so..... LIKE THEY WERE SO FR ABOUT TO KISS ?? leaving me hanging......

uh. so i smell an nc next week [evil_laugh.mp3] BUT ALSO I'M NOT GONNA BE MAD IF WE DON'T GET ANYTHING i'm on the "i'll take fortpeat in anything" boat. it's desperation yall we only have 3 eps left...

Chapter 7: Blaise and Mrs. Reyes

WARNING WARNING WARNING: Dursley adjacent behaviors and Isabella starts…i don’t want to say having a mental breakdown but um…she’s tweaking out…yea let's’ put it like that- its nothing too major but i'd feel like a shitty person if i don't at least warn yall our girl is going through it, basically

Series Masterlist

Christmas at Zabini Manor was intense, primarily because Elizabeth Zabini adored Christmas and wouldn’t have anything less than the perfect decorations. Which led to hours of decorating for the entire house. Elizabeth, Blaise and the house elves would spend at minimum three days decorating the entire estate with the help of magic. The elves' pay was tripled and Elizabeth always gave them the option to opt out if the weather was too aggressive (they always refused). It was this kind of treatment that led to the elves loving the Zabini family and vice versa, expanding the Christmas dinner from just the two of them to them plus the 15 house elves who worked on various tasks for the family.

But apparently, they still didn’t have enough decorations hence why the Zabini’s found themselves roaming Diagon Alley looking for white tinsel and bulbs and a thousand other things that Blaise couldn’t even remember. But what he did remember was all that he had to fill his mother in on. 

“And so then out of where I see Anthony Goldstein punch Michael Corner like it was nothing I mean it really was something-”, Blaise recalled as his mother stacked boxes and boxes of white garland so high he could barely see over them.

“Yes that’s nice love, but can you tell me more about that girl you mentioned earlier? What was her name, Isabella?” his mother asked with false curiosity.

Blaise knew what his mother was doing -and she knew he knew- but figured it would be worse to not respond then to answer. “Yes, her name is Isabella Reyes. The Hufflepuff, remember?”

“Ahhhh, yes. Isabella tell me a bit about her, would you?” Blaise side-eyed his mother before he could control himself. “Don’t look at me like that.”

How she knew the face Blaise made, was lost on him considering she had her back to him looking for more lights (white of course). “Um she’s muggleborn, afrolatino, the shortest in year -though she’ll argue is taller than Finch-Fletchley-, she-”

“She’s the friend you want to invite, correct?”

All these leading questions.

“Yes, Ma. She looked…upset when she went to meet her family and well she wants to meet you so I figured now would be a good time. Especially since the Christmas decorations will still be up and the snow won’t have melted by then, she loves Christmas, and while she can’t come on Christmas. I think she’ll appreciate the atmosphere…” Blaise trailed off weakly, realizing he was rambling a bit.

His mother was quiet, the only noise on the other side of the boxes was the sound of lights being shuffled around. “That’s very kind of you Blaise.” she finally said, placing yet another box in his arms, officially obstructing his view.

“Thanks, Ma.” Blaise said, muffled as the boxes mushed against his face. 

The day continued like that, by the time they had finished and Blaise retired to his room his arms were heavy and his finger numb from all the bulbs he placed. Despite it all he picked up a quill, found some parchment and wrote in his neat cursive.

Reyes,

…Now what? Blaise asked himself, when he couldn’t figure out an answer he sat and stared at the ceiling waiting for the words to come to him. How about…

-----------------------------------------------------------

Reyes, 

How are you? We’re doing well over here. Mother has gone crazy with the decorations like always. I was thinking and I don’t quite think it’s fair for me to rant to you about how much snow we get here, and not invite you to come see for yourself. (Plus my mother wants to meet you.) So, if you’d like, my mother will apparate to your house, pick you and your things up and you’d spend New Year’s and the last week of holidays here. She’d drop us off at the train the first day of school so no worry there. 

Let me know what you think, 

B. Zabini

-----------------------------------------------------

B. Zabini is a little formal isn’t it?

So is still calling her Reyes after being friends for months but you're not going to change that are you?

…fair enough.

He folded the letter, wrote her name on the front, sealed it with gray wax and a “Z” symbol, and tied it to his owl Geoffrey,“Bring this to Isabella Reyes and don’t leave without a response.”

He didn’t have to wait long as he expected as Lila, a house elf who watched him all throughout his life, brought him an envelope, while he ate breakfast with his mother the next day. “ A letter just arrived for you Mr. Blaise, from a Ms. Isabella Reyes.” she told him far louder than necessary, allowing for her voice to carry, no doubt alerting all the staff.

“Thank you so much Lila.” he thanked all but snatching the letter from her (his mother raised him better than to actually snatch it). Satisfied, Lila apparated away with a quiet pop.

Blaise glanced warily at his mother, but she just sipped her tea and kept reading the paper as if she were oblivious. He opened the letter to read…

----------------------------------------------------------

Blaise,

I’m okay, glad to hear your mom’s putting you to work over there. While I would love to go, my parents are…reluctant to let me stay over at a friend's house that they've never met. Especially a friend that is a wizard. Even more so a friend that is a boy. At first it was a flat out no, my mother hitting me with a “Uno nunca sabe.” Which like fair, valid, but I know you're not like that. So we argued a bit and they said that they would consider it if they could meet your mom. And even then they reserve the right to say no. So yeah. I know that’s way more work than yall signed up for so I totally get it if you and your mom say no. But yeah, that’s their conditions.

Thanks for the offer tho,

Isabella

------------------------------------------------------------

Blaise grimace, “Ma, what does “Uno nunca sabe” mean? Like I know that the literal translation is “One never knows” but…”

His mothers eyebrows rose, “Can I see the context?” Blaise reluctantly handed over the letter and watched as his mother read. “Basically it's a Latino saying of “One never knows” mothers usually tell their daughters this when they won’t let them leave the house for sleepovers, parties etc , especially with boys, because “ One never knows’’ what can happen. The implication is…well you can assume.” Blaises’ grimace only deepened and he put his head on the table. “Don’t worry, owl her asking if I can get her parents phone number. Then I’ll speak to them directly and set up when we can go meet them.” she reassured him, handing him the letter, as if the matter was already settled.

“Now seems like a good time to mention her parents don’t seem to like magic, they wouldn’t even step through the barrier to get her at the end of term.” Blaise confessed.

The right side of his mothers mouth briefly lifted at this, “Well like wizards, muggles tend to fear the unknown. No matter how much Isabella may try to explain and demonstrate magic to them there’s a possibility that they’ll never understand it.”

Blaise considered for a moment telling his mother how Isabella seemed ready to cry as she crossed the barrier, Isabella who never cried preferring to yell, scream or punch whenever something or someone deeply upset her. He chose to keep it to himself.

Isabella didn’t want me to see she was upset, I asked her in the letter if she was okay and she said she was. 

Do you really believe that?

…No. But it's not my place to say something.

At least not now.

Christmas passed with many gifts from his mother (he wasn’t quite on the level of warranting gifts from Hufflepuffs yet). Blaise always recruited help from the elves to get his a few gifts that she would love varying from dress robes to new painting supplies for her to use for her next piece. This year he gave her a beautiful silver necklace and a giant canvas that she had been looking for. The dinner was delicious and he managed to enjoy it despite the many taunts and questions from the elves concerning “Ms. Isabella Reyes”, miraculously his mother took pity on him and didn’t let them know there was a chance they’d get to meet her very soon.

Only a day later Blaise and his mother were standing on the doorstep of the Reyes’ home. He wore a blue crewneck, dark blue jeans and white Nike shoes with a simple gold band; he also carried a bouquet of flowers to present to Mrs. Reyes. Blaise complained that it was too formal, his mother said it was only right to bring a gift, which Blaise agreed with but…

It looks like I’m asking if I can date Isabella. Is the thought that ran through Blaises’ head as he waited for someone to answer the door. His mother beside him wore black dress pants with a white blouse and the necklace he gifted her. A little formal but who is Elizabeth Zabini if not the best dressed in the room. A moment later Isabella ripped open the door wearing simple light blue jeans, black t-shirt and black Under Armour sneakers that looked a little too worn out in Blaises’ professional opinion.

“You're so judgy. Stop eyeing my shoes, I love them.” Isabella proclaimed in defense of the sneakers.

Blaise raised his hands in defense and just as he was about to introduce his mother she stepped forward, “Hello love, I’m Elizabeth, Blaises’ mother. I apologize if it's too forward but can I hug you, Blaise doesn't have many friends.” she whispered to Isabella as if Blaise wasn’t right next to her.

“Oh I know and I would love a hug.” Isabella told her all but jumping in his mothers arms.

Something is wrong here…

“Alright, let's head in.” Isabella announced letting go and taking a step back into the house, before spinning back around to add “my parents are paranoid. My mom can be a bit…much so, just a fair warning.” 

On that positive note, the three entered the house greeted by the sweet smell of what Blaise could recognize as Nestle Abuelita, a brand of muggle hot chocolate he tried it for the first time in Mexico with his mother on a trip for an art auction. “You must be Mrs. Zabini.” A short woman asked with an accent as she came to shake his mothers hand.

“Please call me Elizabeth.” his mother responded smoothly.

“Then you must call me Estefanía.” the woman responded quickly, “Isabella tells me you speak Spanish?” -when his mother nodded, she continued “Perfect because my english is not so good.” She quickly transitioned to Spanish and invited them out to the porch. Blaise knew he was going to send a letter to his old Spanish tutor if he was going to continue being friends with Isabella. Isabella walked ahead, turning around once she was behind mothers back and shot him a flat smile. 

Mrs. Reyes led them to the porch and now in the natural light, Blaise fully took in the woman's appearance as she sat and spoke with his mother on a couch. She was short, barely taller than Isabella, ever so slightly tan, light wrinkles adorned her face that told Blaise she was older than his mother and had dark brown hair. “You’ll have to forgive us but my husband is running late, he is caught in traffic.” he heard her mention it to his mother, who told her not to worry. Realizing he was still holding the flowers he quickly handed them to Mrs. Reyes with a simple “These are for you, Mrs. Reyes.” with a sweet smile, allowing the Argentinian accent he perfected to shine through. One look at his mother told him that he was laying the act on a bit thick but Mrs. Reyes still cooed at him, pointing out to Isabella how nice his Spanish was. Blaise could see Isabellas’ face change to the one she typically had before starting a fight in a corridor, before she shrugged and said “That’s what happens when you have a private tutor.” in English. Nobody had spoken English since they walked in as a sign of respect for her mothers silent request to only speak her native language. Mrs. Reyes, unamused with her daughter's flippant response, asked her to go get drinks for them all (in Spanish). Isabella went to do just that and Blaise immediately offered his help and went after her.

“Am I crazy for assuming that your Spanish is a sensitive subject?” Blaise questioned, bringing the conversation back to English now that they were away from their mothers.

“Nope. By the way you have the exact same accent as your mom, it's kind of crazy. Which I like obviously, but the more time I spend around you Brits the more I can distinguish yalls' accents and I don’t know its just more clear to me how different yall talk compared to the others. It’s nice.” She explained all but dismissing his earlier questions. “Though I will say, hearing her speak highlights how much my lingo has rubbed off on you and I won’t lie; I’m a bit proud.”

“I’m not letting you dodge my question.”

She glared at him before reaching into a cupboard to grab a tray, “I grew up around my mom and siblings speaking Spanish back when we lived in America since it was their first language. My dad and I were the only non-native speakers in the house but because I was born into a bilingual house I picked up on it enough for little me to hold conversations. As I got older, though, I was around them less and less and in turn my Spanish went downhill. I can understand everything, write a good bit but my speaking-” she winced “- my speaking sucks. Everyone on my mom's side of the family judges me like crazy for it.” She started loading the tray with two waters and two mugs of hot chocolate, placing them down with more force than necessary. “So when you waltz in here with your perfect Spanish - despite having no hispanic family - she just had to comment.” 

“I didn’t mean to-”

“You didn’t do anything, she just always has something to say. If it's not about my Spanish, it's about my hair, if it's not about my hair, it's about my clothes -” she began to pace “- if it's not my clothes its my skin, if it's not my skin it's my weight, if it's not my weight its the fact that I don’t smile enough. If its not that its the fact that I’m a fucking witch! Oh, that’s her new favorite one! She drives me insane!” She slammed her hand down on the counter and was breathing heavily. She stormed up to him, grabbing his arms. “We can’t let them keep me here, I’ve already had three bursts of accidental magic and I cannot have another, Blaise.” She gasped, her eyes wide with clarity, “We can use that!” Blaise was starting to get really really concerned.

Not your place, huh? His mind taunted him.

Isabella seemed to not notice, “At some point we'll bring up accidental magic and tell them that it's less likely to happen in wizarding households.”

“That’s not true.”

“They don’t need to know that!” Isabella all but screamed at him.

“Reyes, I’m going to ask you this, and I’m being genuine when I say this…are you okay?” He gently removed her hands from where they were leaving indents through his clothes.

“Blaise, I haven’t had bursts of magic this bad since I was like five.” she whispered, leaning even further into his space, “They’re getting scared again, Blaise.”

At that moment Blaise realized how much the girl before him had impacted his personality. Before Blaise would have taken a step back and removed his hands from her now bruising grip, even though he knew it was a bit cruel, he would have done it. Now Blaise squeezed her hands and said, “Okay, we'll figure it out. I’m not leaving you here. I’ll pull my mom to the side and tell her, she’ll finesse something, she always does and we’ll bring you home.” he rubbed his thumb across the back of her hand, like his mother did to calm him.

“But like…don’t tell her everything. Just that…I’m having bursts of accidental magic from stress and my parents’ are getting worried.” seeing Blaises’ hesitancy she soften her eyes and rested her face, “Please.”

“...alright.”

She hugged him tightly and Blaise found himself wrapping his arms around her easily.

I’ve never seen her so rattled.

Not your place huh? His mind contributed.

Shut up.

The sound of keys rattling and the front door opening reached them and Isabella pushed Blaise away so hard and fast he stumbled a bit. She hurried down the hallway hugging the man who had just walked through the door, who carried a bottle of wine. “Hi, Dad. Blaise and his mom just arrived a little bit ago.”, she pushed up to the tip of her toes to whisper something into her fathers ears. “We’re out on the patio.” she informed him, leaning back and into the kitchen, picking up the tray of drinks, nodded towards the door and as Blaise opened it for her she muttered to him, “He’s the one we really have to convince.”

Authors’ notes: this chapter feels like a hot mess but we have a lot to cover before we make it back to school. I really wanted to touch upon something that always confused me whenever I read the original series, which is like how the hell did hermiones’ parents agree to her always staying over her guy friend's house like my parents could never. A boys house *raises eyebrows* fuck no. so i wanted it to be a bit more realistic. Isabella's mom is a piece of work… She loves her daughter but she's a bit…much. But lemme know what yall think, there is alot in his chapter, and like if you enjoyed it. And as always, thank you for reading

Putting non sims stuff below the cut. TW for complicated family stuff, brief discussion of abuse, and health scares (not me, dw I've not had a health scare)

So, my dad and I have a complicated relationship. He was really awful to my mum behind closed doors growing up. Not physically abusive, but emotionally abusive I guess you could say. He'd say the most awful stuff to her, treat her badly, he even refused to be around my you ger brother when he was born bc he was born with a cleft lip and palate. My dad also would accuse my mum of cheating with his brother (who passed away 17 years ago) and say that my brother had to be his kid bc she "used the toilet after he did and that must be how she got pregnant". Suffice to say he wasn't a nice person to her. But he was always good to me and I just never knew what he was like until I got older and they separated then divorced years after.

Anyway, all that to say he moved to Germany a few years ago and he rarely ever messages me or talks to me. And whenever he does he never asks about me or my life, only about himself. This year he even forgot my birthday and that really broke me.

Well, he just sent me a text message to let me know he had a stroke BACK IN MARCH and never thought to tell me. Despite everything, I'm devastated. I feel horrible for how hurt and angry he's made me in the past and especially the past few months with how silent he's been. And he's just dismissing all my worries and upset with "calm down I'm fine now I don't burden people" and I just. It's all a mess in my head bc I struggle processing emotions and grief and stuff. Her could've died and I wouldn't have known, you know? He says I'd have known but I feel like I wouldn't and that's what really hurts me. He didn't think I needed to know that my own dad could've died.

Sorry for the long post and vent. I don't want any sympathy or pity or anything yall, that's not what this post is for. I guess I just. Idk. I meed to get it out there bc none of my friends are really responding to me rn and I don't feel comfortable talking about it to my mum or younger brother bc their view of him is more negative than mine and I don't wanna put them in an awkward position. They know he's had a stroke bc I've just told them but they don't know any of what I'm feeling or thinking rn.

But um yeah. Stuff is weird and complicated rn and idk how I'm gonna get through work tomorrow bc this is all I'm gonna be thinking about and I don't wanna call out of work bc I really really need the money so I can save up for driving lessons and a car.

Thank you everyone who read this far and took the time to listen to me vent. I appreciate all of you and thank you in advance for understanding if I'm out of sorts the next few days

[enigma731]

Thank you for posting some positive things about Gamora and starmora. Looking around fandom I'm just like God yall stop being so mean to her and let her have some love. I have my complaints about vol 3 too but the way some people are acting like Gamora didn't do anything good in the whole movie or was super evil and never changed at all is ridiculous. I've seen people argue Gunn should have brought Yondu back because he deserved a second chance to be a good dad and then in the next breath say they'll never forgive Gamora for her actions in vol 3 and it's like. Yondu stole children from their homes and sold them to Ego where most of them got killed for not being perfectly suited to Ego's needs. If people can forgive all that then Gamora isn't irredeemable.

Also all the debate around her family status is starting to look questionable. Why wouldn't she be family. She's not just some side kick. The only reason she's been with the ravagers is because the events in Endgame caused her to be put in a really overwhelming situation without any time to prepare. So she ran off and met the ravagers. Why is it a bad thing her finding some sort of home in the meantime. It's like people wanted her to be stranded on some desolate island for years as proof she's suffered enough to become family. I don't get why she can't have two families instead of people saying she's not welcome or is better off not being with the guardians because she's got a new family better suited for her. Then of course they go back to fawning over the guardians family after saying that. It's so incoherent. Plus her and Peter are clearly beginning to connect in a romantic way by the end. She didn't want to leave his side and the man couldn't take his eyes off of her when she eventually walked away. There are lots of people creating ships whether canon or not. It's not that difficult to still ship and see what exists for Peter and Gamora in vol 3 plus using all the past canon. It's more than some insanely popular ships have to work with.

And I'm grateful you said something Gamora's hair too. I of course loved her hair/style evolution and I do think her current style is a sign she's not investing in self care as much as she used to and hasn't started on her healing process the way she was before. But by some comments you'd think she was a filthy heathen who lacked any of her same qualities just because her hair isn't perfect. She's living with the ravagers. They probably don't have a curling wand and styling products. Would it have been nice to see some changes? Absolutely. Does the fact we didn't mean she's not worth investing in? No. I don't know if the gotg fandom has always been like this and I forgot or if it's just a post new movie dust up that will eventually settle. I did not leave the theater thinking Gamora's character would cause this kind of knee jerk reaction where people are even questioning if the female lead of the franchise from day 1 is still family. Clearly something is getting lost in translation between what was shown in the theater and what people think they saw instead.

I'm glad my posts connected for you! I'd be here to focus on the things I enjoy regardless of what we got, but I genuinely think we got so much good stuff in Vol 3 and it really is a shame people are not appreciating that nuance.

(also, just out of curiosity, does tumblr not give you a notification when someone answers your ask?)

[sealeneee]

I know you’re working on the other ask but I had some more questions.

What is Doc/Katona’s love language? How does Katona respond to Doc’s nicknames of “beautiful” and “gorgeous”? Does she have specific ways she likes to be touched or talked to? Is she taller than Doc and if so, how does he feel about that?

And for Katona and Theron: what is their friendship like? What sort of things do they get up to? Does Doc ever get involved or is it purely Katona and Theron who hang out? What is Katona’s favorite and least favorite things about Doc and Theron?

this turned out quite long so i'm putting it under readmore jkhfakjfg

i think katona is more of a gift giver -- she'd buy or make anything that reminded her of her husband, while doc is more of an acts of service and quality time guy. physical touch is a thing for both of them.

at first katona find the nicknames a bit annoying, but starts to like them pretty quickly. she may not exactly share his views on her looks -- "i look fine, but nothing outstanding. aside from, you know, the veins and glowing eyes" is something she'd say -- but she appreciates it nonetheless. it's something nice amidst whatever disaster is happening at the time. makes her smile every time.

as for ways of being talked to, i think she prefers a casual, humorous banter kind of talk. unless we're talking about sex, in which case she has a praise kink.

touch is a bit hard to answer, but i think she likes having her hair braided/played with, and having doc's hand on her waist is one of her favorite ways of physical contact, alongside hugs and putting one's head on their partner's shoulder.

and oh YEAH she's taller. she's like 6'8, while i see doc as average or below average height. something like 5'9? having him shorter would be fun (not in a demeaning way though. he's just a little guy. stealing @rubensmuse's text here)

but would be too much of a height difference. so he's about average in my canon

i'd say he was just surprised at first -- not every day you see anyone, let alone a human, over two meters tall -- but quickly got used to it. he likes it, it suits katona's personality and skills in his opinion, makes him feel defended when she's nearby. she could snap him in half and he loves it and also knows that she wouldn't.

now for theron. i think they really bonded during kotfe/et, when they had to closely work together and got to know each other better. chaotic adhd siblings. i think most of their shenanigans either happen when theron asks katona to help him on whatever job he has to do, which can be a lot of things, from recovering intel to getting new allies or assets. we all know how theron operates, and katona isn't afraid of doing some insane bullshit either. also i think there is a lot of grabbing food and talking shit about everyone and everything. don't think doc joins on their bullshit too often, most times it's only if several alliance people are involved. group bullshit, if you will.

have i answered favorite things about doc? i think i have. poke me if i haven't. as for theron, i think what draws katona to him most is the similar chaotic vibe they have and the opportunity to bond over their weird relationship with the jedi order.

as for the disliked qualities, i think doc's vanity can get on her nerves sometimes. another thing that just clashes with her personality is his immense desire to help people even if it puts themselves in danger. sorry imperials on balmorra yall are getting stabbed. nevertheless she saves his ass on dromund kaas instead of moving to attack the emperor right away. that's because she's a little hypocritical. as a treat.

i think the latter is also a point of conflict with theron -- he is, despite his chaotic nature, a very goodhearted character, while she has... interesting morals. if it's not beneficial to her or isn't explicitly a part of her task it's very likely she'll stall doing the objective to help someone, i.e. the reactor on zakuul. there is no time to waste, she's super confused and fresh out of carbonite, and she didn't even cause the damn explosion! not her job. master surro gets killed as a weird way of showing mercy. and so on.

she also never lets him forget the """""betrayal""""" and especially the dumb haircut he got. the spy shenanigans greatly annoy her, and the hair was just ugly.

aight this may lose me some followers. i certainly hope not but

i gotta get this off my chest. this is a PSA

i hate when fanfics make keith believe in aliens building the pyramids. lemme explain

i took an archaeology course last semester that discussed pseudo-archaeology and how conspiracy theories like “aliens built the pyramids” originally stemmed from white people being like “what?? there’s NO WAY these primitives could have possibly come up with such advanced architecture!!! they couldn’t have possibly figured out highly intelligent building strategies before us so it MUST have been aliens.” the entire idea robs these ancient people of their intellectual property and accomplishments by saying that they couldnt possibly have invented such masterpieces themselves

so basically the original concept of “aliens built the pyramids” comes from a place of racism. i understand there’s more to it than that, but that’s what it boils down to

now obviously people nowadays who believe in that kinda stuff don’t do it bc they’re tryna be racist, so if some of yall buy into that stuff im NOT trying to say you’re a bad person or anything, bc im sure you did not even know about these historical implications until now and that’s not your fault. i didnt consider any of this until i took an actual course that taught me about it. so before yall grab your pitchforks, just know that im not tryna come after you.

but it just BUGS ME, the implication that keith could fall into that kind of stuff--or at least, that he would never grow out of it/learn about the underlying implications behind it/etc. like i just dont wanna see my precious boy follow in the footsteps of the people who originally gave life to these conspiracy theories

anyway end rant, sorry for the rambling pls dont hate me thanks, this is just my opinion

p.s. this is not an invitation for u to try to convince me that aliens did, in fact, build the pyramids. i respect u but i aint gonna get into an argument with u over this stuff. i dont have the patience, i really dont, im sorry kjgfhdsedgjkf it is better for the both of us if we just don’t have the argument in the first place

married people stuff

So. This is the fic that caused me to no longer be able to use twitter! I've been really scared of reposting it as such, but... hopefully, tumblr will be kinder to me than twitter was, since yall seem to have such a much more clear understanding of. Life in general, honestly.

Basically, the backstory is this: I wrote this in around April of last year, and posted it to ao3. It got a lot of really positive feedback, and I even talked about it and shared it on twitter itself, and likewise got positive feedback. So, happy with that outcome, I moved on, and eventually forgot I'd even written it.

Aaand then six months later, someone found it, saw my age on my profile, and made a callout post with several screenshots insisting I was being creepy and breaking the ccs' boundaries. That tweet got over 500 retweets before I was forced to deactivate my account due to the harassment I was receiving... plus, I was rapidly losing followers.

This was... a massive blow to me, because I'm an aspiring streamer, and I'd finally begun slowly but regularly gaining new followers and was a hair away from being able to become an affiliate when this happened. In one fell swoop, that callout tweet, and the reaction to it, caused me to lose followers both on twitter and twitch, to lose friends, and to feel like I'd lost my chance at being even a small streamer. All of my audience had been gained from twitter, a platform which I can no longer use due to a large part of the mcyt fanbase there now believing me to be some kind of creep. I was even accused of being an irl shipper over this fic, which... is silly, given the original description on ao3 literally stated that this was about the characters, and that I do not ship ccs or condone doing so.

Anyway. All that to say, posting this is the scariest fucking thing I've done in a long time, but... I think, maybe, I'll be okay sharing it here. Maybe it'll help me feel a little less shit about the whole ordeal.

(And, by the way, if you'd like to help me start rebuilding my attempt at a streaming career, my channel can be found here; I'll be streaming from a brand new lore-based SMP in the near future, and stream other games as well. I'd appreciate it if you gave it a look!)

So, without any further ado... here is the fic, and I hope you enjoy it.

married people stuff Rating: G (there's not even any swearing, this thing is clean as a whistle.) Summary: c!Tubbo and c!Ranboo share a moment, and some shiny new feelings, while building the Bee 'n' Boo hotel.

"I think we should do more married people stuff."

That was absolutely the furthest thing from... well, anything that Ranboo was expecting to hear Tubbo say, and it made him pause, the heavy block of glossy yellow terracotta in his hands slipping just a bit as he turned to look down at him. The other boy's expression was almost comically thoughtful, dark hair in his eyes and his lips pursed as he considered... something. It was an expression that Ranboo knew all-too well, and generally couldn't help but feel a mixed surge of anxiety and amusement at the sight of-- it generally lead to either a bizarre declaration not unlike the one he just heard, or some exciting new idea.

"... what do you... mean?" Ranboo's voice was cautious, his words carefully-chosen, as he returned to his previous task of carefully fitting the block into the intricate pattern on the floor of their new hotel, shifting it to ensure the lines flowed together as intended.

"Well, y'know," began Tubbo's response, and Ranboo braced himself for whatever would come next almost instinctively. "Like, married people... there are things that married people do, right, that is like... expected of them, you know?"

"... uh-huh." Well, if he hadn't been worried about where Tubbo was going with this before, he certainly was after that remark. "Tubbo, I don't know... what you're--"

"No no no, like... erm, nice things, I think! You know? Like when they give each other flowers and stuff." Tubbo shrugged his shoulders as he went to one of the storage chests in the center of the growing hotel, and Ranboo couldn't help but chuckle as he dug into the dirt foundation, clearing space to put down another block of terracotta.

"So, you want me to give you things. Tubbo, we already do that."

"Well! No, come on--" Tubbo had to raise his voice to be heard over his husband's rasping bursts of laughter, his face flushing at being called out so bluntly. When the taller boy turned to glance at him, it only made him laugh that much harder, the sight of Tubbo's face lit up pink in offense, his round face pulled into a sharp frown and bottom lip stuck out. "Aw, come on, Big Man!"

"It's fine, Tubbo, it's fine!" Ranboo tried his best to recover his composure, though laughter still bubbled just beneath his words. He peeked into his inventory for something, quietly looking over the contents; after a moment, he pulled out a single, freshly-cut pink tulip, and he offered it to Tubbo, a smirk tugging at his odd face. "Here. Is this what you wanted?"

"... well, it's not all romantic now!" The smaller boy continued to pout, even as he reached out to accept the flower, holding it carefully in his dirty hands. Ranboo couldn't resist the urge to lean down, to slip his fingers into Tubbo's hair, petting him affecionately, and he tilted his head up to peer at Ranboo's face from beneath his bangs, dark eyes round as he considered him.

"Awww..." Ranboo did not sound sincere, not in the slightest, and it only drew a darker flush from his husband, who... despite his best attempts, couldn't resist smiling at just how silly the whole conversation was.

"I really mean it, though. We should do something romantic together."

... wait. Was... he being serious? Ranboo paused, blinking down at him in growing surprise, his own mismatched skin starting to warm up at the implications behind the words.

"Are you... I mean. Do you... want to do something... romantic, Tubbo?"

"Yeah! I mean, I did marry you!" As if it should be obvious.

Oh. Oh.

Well. The beginnings of a flush that had been mere pinpricks at Ranboo's face before bloomed into something much more obvious at that, and for a moment, Ranboo found himself unable to string words together to respond. Tubbo, his best friend... wanted to actually get romantic with things? Sure, they were married, but it had been for tax reasons, right? He hadn't actually planned on things being like that... right?

Or... had he just been oblivious the whole time?

"Oh."

The way Tubbo's face scrunched displayed very clearly that "oh" was not the response he'd been hoping for.

"What? Did you not know that marriage is somethin' people do for romance, Ranboo?"

"I-- no, I know that, I just--!" Oh, god. He straightened, hiding his face in his mismatched hands, suddenly at a loss of what to do or say. "I just didn't-- I-I thought..."

"... I mean, yeah, like... yanno, taxes and all that, but like... you've seen the movies, right, Big Man? Things happen sometimes!"

At this point, Ranboo could no longer tell if Tubbo was making his request out of genuine interest, or out of some kind of idea of "this is how things go, this is how it goes in the movies." He sighed, running his hands down his face.

"... Tubbo." His voice was lower, just a little bit more firm. "Are you asking about romance because you saw this happen in a movie once, or because you just... want... to be romantic... with me?"

"Ermm... both of them, I imagine," was the reply, marked with an innocence that sat squarely at odds with anything Ranboo knew about the former president, and he couldn't help but smile. How very Tubbo.

"... so, you do... want things to be... romantic, with us?"

Tubbo was quiet for a beat longer that time, letting the words hang in the air, his gaze drifting back down to the flower still clutched in his hands.

"... yeah, I think so!" And then his gaze was, again, lifted back to meet Ranboo's, and there was a bright grin on his face, and Ranboo could feel his face heating up all the way to the edge of his crown.

"... ah." The Enderman was quiet for a long moment, his hands nervously lacing together in front of his chest. "... so..."

"Aw, come on, what are you bein' all awkward for? We're already married!" Ah, Tubbo was clearly aware that things had turned back in his favor, the sight of his tall husband visibly flustered emboldening and endlessly amusing to him. He grinned, rocking up onto his tiptoes to be closer to his eyeline-- not that it made much difference, all told.

"I know, but..." Ah. Oh no, what should he do now? He'd never really... been very good at romance. He'd never really had much of a chance at it before. And now, here he was, with a husband standing before him, expecting to be wooed, he supposed, and how on earth do you even do that?

"Come down here!" Suddenly, Tubbo was reaching out, grabbing a handful of Ranboo's tie, and the taller boy was shocked, unable to do anything to resist being pulled down to his husband's eye level. Tubbo simply grinned at him, seemingly proud of himself.

"See? That's not so hard, now, is it?"

Ranboo couldn't help the laugh that broke loose from his tightened throat.

"-- is this what married people do, Tubbo?"

"Well, it's not my fault you're all the way up there. I had to get you down here somehow."

"You did. Well, here I am."

"Yep!"

And then, without giving him a moment to respond, to process what was happening, Tubbo leaned in... and pressed his lips against the other's. It wasn't a good kiss, or an experienced one, or even really all that romantic... but it was indeed a kiss, and, for a second, it was enough to make Ranboo's entire mind freeze over and stop, his breath hanging in his chest.

And then it was over, and Tubbo just smiled sweetly at him, and Ranboo was certain that he had never turned that particular shade in front of anyone before.

He cleared his throat.

"... oh!"

"S'that all you've got to say, big guy?" Tubbo didn't seem hurt, although something questioning hung just beneath his smile-- was that alright? Should he have done it? Did he mess something up?

"... Tubbo..."

Ranboo sighed; he leaned down more properly, reached in with his hands to cup his husband's face, and this time, he kissed him first. And it was better. A little bit, anyway. He'd only seen them do this in movies, but... he had some idea of what to do, at least.

When he pulled away, Tubbo's eyes were closed; he hummed in his throat, and then he opened them, gazing up at Ranboo with a grin. One of his hands lifted from holding the flower to lay over one of Ranboo's own.

"You hopeless romantic, you."

As if he had any room to speak.
