not academic but an update
was doing Focused work on number theoretic functions when my friend (who is also a close friend of The Guy) walked into the studyroom with um The Guy (seriously, I should come up w a better name). and they came up to me to talk. unfortunately I was unprepared and was naturally speechless. my friend understood the assignment. uhm the Guy just looked at my laptop and went "oh number theory nice nice" and my friend went "yes good" and I just looked up at my idiot friend because what the fuck was he thinking, bringing this guy and trying to make conversation with me.
also um did I say that The Guy is in a committed long distance relationship. no? bc it makes me :(((((((((( and slightly teary.
and this guy is my first real crush, I've never had crushes before, never. I've never had celebrity crushes, no kidding. not even Harry Styles (my friend had a HUGE crush, which is why it comes to mind first) and irl I've acknowledged that a few guys were good-looking, or nice people, but not a crush per se. and this guy (let's call him Mr S?) is making me often think about him. randomly. and too flustered when he's around. he also works in the university newspaper where I'm one of the heads now, and I'll have to gather a semblance of a functioning human who is capable of basic human interactions (necessary only when he's around, I'm otherwise fine. mostly).
anyhow. if you've come this far, thank you for reading this short but tiring essay on my embarrassing life, me loves you <3
#I don't see myself being in a relationship with anyone at all#but idk i like him too much but it's confusing and idk how to feel about it or how any of this works :(((#and he's in a committed and a supposedly happy relationship#which is a very recent update according to a reliable source - my friend obviously; he's sad to inform me about this but i#need to hear hard truths to move on :((((#apparently until very recently Mr S himself was confused about their relationship - labels and whatnot#but now it's all clear :((#ok i need to move on#friends help me move on :(((#personal#ig number theory will make me feel better

jjk reflection time
this is NOT going to be a post where I criticise what went well and what wrong in the manga and honestly⌠there wonât be any post like that from me in the future either. I am aware of jjkâs flaws and other people are also aware of jjkâs flaws and whatever people decide to do with that knowledge is completely up to them. I personally really enjoyed the manga and I totally understand if others didnât and find it rather unsatisfying and disappointing. Their reasons are more than valid and understandable. I'm making this post cause I actually find the fandom to be more irritating than anything gege ever gave us or did. Iâm not even going to be ranting about this fandoms biggest issues, I just wanted to share my own thoughts and feelings about the story and its characters⌠that may not be really popular but weâll see. If I accidentally end up offending one of my moots then know that Iâm so sorry and I love you, pls forgive me.
my number one favourite was⌠and still is sowyyyâŚÂ sukuna, then yuuji joined and then megumi⌠and nothing much changed here tbh
I love these characters but for completely different reasons than (most of) the fandom does
I love sukunaâs confidence, overwhelming sense of self and the way he carried himself like a royalty. I really appreciate his god-like persona and religious symbolism or how he always respected his opponents (altho I do love that specific trait of his very much tbh) but that's not the reason why I ended up loving him. I love him because he's a messy petty bitch and the fact that he always had a problem with yuuji (someone called it a yuuji complex on the cursed app and they were totally spot on with that) made his character even more compelling and dynamic because it contradicted everything people known him as. it humanised him, is what Iâm trying to say and for that reason Iâve never seen him as a curse or a god⌠to me he was not only a huge asshole who had a beef with a teenager but also⌠just a little human who tried to act like he was anything but.
yuuji⌠ahhh yuuji yuuji yuuji.. he's cute and all and he got hurt.. a lot..and he didn't want to be alone.. when he dies ig?? but honestly Iâve never cared for any of that. none of those things made me care or love him in the end. there are plenty of cute and sunshine boys who got lots of trauma on their backs⌠but none of them are yuuji. No, what made me really love yuuji is his unwavering determination and ability to endure the worst of the worst AND still hold onto his core values. yuuji is kind and compassionate but NOT out of naiveness⌠god I hate when people potray his good nature as his default behaviour⌠because he doesnât know any better⌠it's really saddening when heâs being reduce to his sunshine, nice boy persona because heâs wayyyy more than that. yuuji is not kind and compassionate because he doesnât know any better⌠during the course of the manga he had to fight against everything the jujutsu world threw at him and try to make him believe in. A lot of jujutsu society's values defied everything yuuji believed in and tried to shape him into something he could never be⌠a cog. a mindless cog who does and kills whatever he is told to and doesnât see people and the world for its complexity and greyness. he had to fight for his ideas while fighting against his own hatred, guilt and resentment.. so plssss can we stop downplaying yuujiâs kindness and treating is as his weakness and core of his naivety?? please?? cause yuuji may be naive in some ways but his compassion and kindness is NOT one of those things. thank you. letâs move on.
megumi. listen I loved all those megumi corruption or (my personal favourite) distillation theories. I loved them I was totally behind them. And nowwww it really may seem like gege didnât deliver with megumiâs character⌠which is completely understandable and a valid point to make, cause⌠yeah?? I see you, but I feel like none of us ever considered that this boyâŚ. is just really fucking tired. he probably didn't get a once of good night sleep since gojo sent him on that mission to retreat that finger. heâs been on high alert since god knows how long and trying to act as the responsible adult he definitely isnât and never has been⌠heâs still a kid goddamnit. So you know, I get that megumi just doesnât have it in him anymoreâŚâŚ.. AS IN ENERGY lol. I mean boy is most likely still depressed, has gone through the most traumatic experience in his life and endured more than anyone else ever should have to in multiple lifetimes. HE HAD IT THE W O R S T LETS BE REAL RIGHT NOW. send that boy to bed and give him plenty of time to replenish cause his own battery percentage is at all times LOW⌠and tbh it might take a really long time for him to learn how to be a person again⌠how to be just megumi. someone heâs never had a real chance to be, until now.
this is not the part where I offend people (I think) more thoughts on other characters might come.. later⌠as a part two of this post. for now I just needed to rant a bit about my top 3 most beloved characters :]
#personal#mhhh I don't really wanna tag this as yuuji.. suku and megumi.. whoever sees this sees this lol

Feeling Lucky
authors note: eye...haven't written a one shot in such a long time but his recent activity on ig has got me in shambles and I'd like the chance to try again. now forgive me because I've always written in first person but you can still pretend. also im super rusty so im sorry if this comes out cheesy lol I am not an expert for sure! lastly, please don't repost or claim as your own. I appreciate y'all pairing: female reader & jackson wang | 1st person word count: 3.4k+ summary: it's been a lot of trial and error: using dating apps in hopes you find a serious relationship and for the third time, you find yourself disappointed with someone, feeling cursed and very unlucky. to help get your mind off of things, you go visit your best friend at the bar with 0 intentions except to enjoy yourself until jackson walks in with his own group of friends. he's eyeing you, you're eyeing him but will either one of you make a move? or will you let your "cursed" theory ruin any chance with him? genre: mature | strangers to lovers au | angst | one shot | kinda soft | fluff warnings: 21+ ONLY! some cursing, making out, small mentions of heartbreak
ââŚand thatâs exactly why I believe dogs are far superior to catsâŚâ
He kept rambling, spewing nonsense. Is this really my life right now? How am I sitting here, listening to this man go on and on about why dogs are better than cats? Is this supposed to be life-changing information? Definitely not! And just for the record, cats are just as goodâif not better.
To make matters worse, I wish I could say this was my first bad date in ages, but that would be a lie. A month ago, I signed up for a dating app, and while things started off strong, the past two weeks have led me to men with halitosis, nonstop misogynistic comments, and now this guy: a man who thinks his monologue is more interesting than asking about me.
Without hesitation, I pulled out my phone and decided to use the old bathroom excuse.
âExcuse meâsorry. Just give me a minute. Iâll be right back,â I said, trying not to trip over my heels as I pushed my chair back, ready to make my escape.
âTake your time! When you get back, we can talk about the ghost in my parentsâ basement!â he shouted as I walked away.
I raised an eyebrow, knowing it was now or never. Ghosting isnât my usual move, but it felt like my only option. Luckily, there was an exit door next to the womenâs restroom, and I made a beeline for it. I attempted to call my best friend to fill her in on the disaster, but I reached her voicemail, followed by a quick text:
[Hey, Iâm working. You okay?]
Ugh. I completely forgot she was on a shift at Oasis, a local bar. But that might not be a bad idea. I could definitely use some company and a distraction. I hopped into my car and rushed to get inside before he realized I wasnât coming back, quickly texting her:
[Hiiii~ nvm! Iâm coming by. See you soon!]
The message was brief, and as I sat at the first red light, I surprisingly didnât feel guilty. Isnât that awful? But honestly, while I felt bad about the first two dates, this third one confirmed that maybe my days with dating apps were over. I felt cursedâsearching for real love for so long only to have every potential match turn sour as soon as we met. So tonight (and perhaps for the rest of my life), I decided to focus on enjoying myself.
Oasis wasnât far. Within five minutes, I was in line to get in. While I waited, I noticed the coffee shop guy had bombarded me with at least eight messages, calling me every name in the book for bailing.
âWow,â I muttered, scrolling through his barrage of insults.
âLooks like you dodged a bullet,â the bouncer said as I finally reached him.
âWhat? Oh yeah, heâs definitely a piece of work,â I replied, blocking his number while handing over my ID.
âYou came to the right place.â He nodded as he returned my ID. While he recognized me from previous visits, I wasnât in the mood to chat with another guy about my problems. I simply made my way to the bar.
âDanielle!â I called, spotting my best friend as I slid onto the first empty barstool. The bar wasnât too crowded, but the dance floor was alive, and it felt great to soak in the energy after those awful messages.
âAnother bad date?â she asked, handing me my favorite drink.
âOh, it was so bad, Danielle! I just donât know whatâs wrong with me!â
âI donât think itâs you. Sometimes men just suck, and dating app guys are a whole different level of awful,â she chuckled.
âIâm starting to think it might be time to give up.â
She sighed. âYou always say that. But remember what I tell you: youâre more likely to find the right one when youâre not stuck playing 40 questions over a screen.â
She patted my hand for reassurance, and I felt a little lighter.
âDonât beat yourself upâweâve all been there. Just enjoy your drink.â
I nodded, acknowledging she was right.
âOkay, but no more than three drinks tonight. I donât want you getting in trouble again for giving away too many free ones.â
We both laughed as I took a sip while she attended to the next guest.
About an hour later, I was on my third drink, and let me tell you, I was feeling it. âSlightly tipsyâ was the best way to describe it, and I was really vibing with the music pouring from the speakers. However, I wasnât much of a dancer. Sitting at the bar, swaying back and forth in my little bubble, felt just right. I could have kept it up all night, but then I heard an uproar from the dance floor.
Curious, I turned to see what all the commotion was about. Right in the center of the crowd was a group of guys dancing like nobody was watching, and they were good. But the one drawing everyoneâs attention wasnât the loudest or most flamboyant; instead, it was the guy making the subtlest moves. His presence alone was magnetic, giving him an air of mystery that was incredibly alluring.
I found myself standing up, inching closer to get a better view. I didnât want to get too closeâjust close enough to appreciate his every move. But maybe that was the mistake, because as soon as I got within range, I was completely captivated. He wore all black: a fitted tank top, loose black pants, and sturdy boots. His shaggy hair was a striking lilac or lavender color, cascading over his forehead. It felt wrong, but the thought of getting his attention flickered in my mind. The only problem? I was supposed to be enjoying myself, not fantasizing about some guy.
âY/N!â Danielleâs voice broke through my thoughts, and I turned to see her waving me over. That was my cue: stay away from him. After all, it was clear why there were at least ninety girls surrounding himâor so it seemed.
What I didnât realize was that her shout had caught his attention too, because when I looked back just before walking away, we locked eyes.
âOh god,â I mumbled to myself, quickly diverting my gaze as he flashed me a gentle smile. The only thing I could manage was a quick nod before I hurried back to the bar, eager to escape any further embarrassment.
âWhat were you doing over there?â Danielle asked as I settled back into my seat.
âDid you not see those guys? They were amazing!â I nearly pointed but caught a glimpse of him and his friends gathering at the other end of the bar.
âThose guys?â she asked, tilting her head in their direction. âOh yeah, theyâre here every Friday, or so.â
I rolled my eyes. âOf course.â
For some reason, that realization made him feel completely out of reach. I shouldnât have even considered approaching him, but the thought lingered. Now, with him just ten feet away, it was impossible not to steal glances as I tried to finish what was left of my drink.
âNeed another?â I heard a male voice say.
I looked over to find a glass of Hennessy right beside my hand. My gaze lifted to meet the exact guy from the dance floor, and I was shocked. Why was he talking to me? Where were his friends? Regardless, I needed to play it cool; I didnât want to come off as desperate.
âNo, Iâm good,â I replied shortly. âThis is my third one, anyway.â I barely made eye contact, taking another sip.
âIs that why you were almost on the dance floor?â he joked.
âMaybe. But how would you know?â I finally turned my body toward him.
He took a small sip of his drink. âI saw youâalmost as soon as you walked up. I was waiting for you to join in.â
âIâm sure the other ninety women were more than enough for you,â I retorted.
âDamn. Donât do that,â he said with a smirk.
âDonât do what? Point out the obvious?â I chuckled. Thatâs when I really started to feel the liquid courage kicking in. To be honest, I had a lot of animosity toward men right now, and he was my first target. This could either go really well or extremely badly.
âIâm not just another girl for you to toy with, okay? You think I didnât see all the smirking and body rolling on that dance floor? Keep it over there.â My finger landed on his chest. âAnd donât bring your fuckboy act over here.â
He smirked again, taking another sip before resting his hand over my finger that was still resting on his chest. God, why was he so attractive? Iâd said enough, so why couldnât I just get up and leave?
âLet me be clearâŚâ His voice was low and husky, and I barely noticed he had leaned in closer, making my hand rest against his chest. âIf I had any intentions with the other women on that floor, or if I were the fuckboy you think I am, then why am I over here with you?â
His eyes searched mine as if trying to find something beyond the asshole persona I was attempting to project.
âTouche,â I responded, quickly pulling my hand back. I finished off my drink, trying to distract myself from getting lost in his gaze. âWhatâs your name?â
âJackson,â he said with a smile, clearly pleased that I wasnât trying to push him away any further. âAnd you?â
âY/N,â I replied shyly, worried I might have ruined the rest of the conversation. Just then, another song played, and the crowd erupted again, making us both break our unannounced staring contest and look at the dance floor. The same guys he had arrived with were back out there, cutting loose. I noticed Jackson subtly mimicking their moves.
âYou should join them!â I yelled over the music.
âNah, itâs okay. Iâd rather be dancing with someone else,â he said, slowly bringing his gaze back to me.
I rolled my eyes, smirking a little. âCould you be any more corny?â
âNo,â he smirked, grabbing my hand and pulling me closer. We were chest to chest now, locked in each other's gaze. âBut Iâd like the chance to show you what I can do on the dance floor.â
I glanced back at Danielle, who had been watching the whole exchange. My expression shouldâve been a dead giveaway for help, but instead, she winked at me. What the hell? She wasnât helping at all.
âCome on,â he said, breaking our gaze and taking my hand. He led me to the dance floor. âI donât expect anything more than for you to just feel the music.â He moonwalked to the center of the dance floor.
How could I possibly keep up with that? I barely had rhythm as it was, but that didnât stop him from pulling me closer. The liquid courage needed to kick in any minute now because I had never been more nervous than I was at that moment.
He turned me around so that my back pressed against his chest, swaying slowly behind me, guiding my body to move in harmony with his. I felt as if I were in a trance, his hands exploring my waist in a way that was both respectful and undeniably sensual. His nose brushed against my hair, and I could feel my eyes fluttering shut, surrendering to his lead as I let the music envelop me. I placed my hands over his, turning my head slightly to bring his face closer to mine, anticipating the moment our lips might meet. But just then, the tempo of the music shifted, shattering the spell we were under. I smiled as we both paused, realizing that our moment had come to an end.
I turned to face him, and I noticed his friends slowly approaching from behind.
âAlright! We see you!â one of them called out.
âGet lost,â he replied, feigning annoyance, which made them all chuckle.
âSorry, man! We were just about to grab another drink. You coming?â
He glanced back at me. âYeah, actually. Iâll be right there.â They nodded and headed off, and he turned back to me.
âYou know you donât have to stick around. I wasnât exactly nice to you a few minutes ago.â
He shrugged. âI can get drinks with them anytime.â He took my hand again and led me back to my original spot at the bar to order another drink. As we waited, he turned to look at me.
âBut what was with all that attitude? Was it really just because of how you viewed me?â
I shook my head. âNo... just... bad dates.â
He nodded slowly, as if he understood more than I realized.
âMen ainât shit,â he started, his tone serious. âAnd I mean that. I donât know what youâve been through, and itâs really none of my business, but can I offer you some advice?â
âSure,â I replied, still swaying to what we could hear of the music.
âDonât assume every guy you meet is going to be like the last. I know thatâs tough, but calling me a fuck boy was a bit much.â He whined playfully, laughter escaping him. âThough, I have to admit, it was pretty funny.â
âYeah, Iâm sorry... I really shouldnât have said thatââ Just then, my favorite song blared through the speakers. Tinasheâs âNastyâ filled the air, and the energy shifted.
âI LOVE THIS SONG!â I shouted, letting go and fully immersing myself in the music. Whatever liquid courage I had left finally surfaced, and I danced like Iâd never danced before. I was so caught up in the moment that I didnât even notice Danielle bringing him another drink; he simply stood there, a huge smirk on his face, watching me.
âIs somebody gonna match my freak...â I began to sing loudly, draping my arms over his neck and leaning in close, letting my hands glide slowly over his chest.
He watched intently as I continued belting out the lyrics. The way he sipped his Hennessy while keeping his gaze fixed on me made my stomach flip. Somehow, I managed to maintain my composure, still singing and letting my hands roam lower, tracing over his abdomen, which made his breath catch.
âEasy...â he murmured, and I couldnât help but smirk. I had no idea what was happening, but I was enjoying every moment.
I leaned back into his space, my arm wrapped around his neck as the chorus looped again, the constant refrain of âIâve been a nasty girlâ echoing in my ears. I sang every word, body rolling against him while his free hand trailed down my side and rested at my waist. With his other hand, he finished his drink and set the glass down, then placed his palm at the small of my back.
We were mere inches apart; I could feel his breath against my lips, and it made me freeze as the music began to fade into the background. At that moment, I was intoxicated by his scent, and there was no way I could back down now. Iâd been in his face for nearly three minutes, singing about being a nasty girlâwhat else could I expect?
âYou singing all of that makes me want to do a lot more than just dance with you...â he whispered. âBut that would be disrespectful on our first meeting.â
Good god. At this point, he could have done anything to me; a man who shows respect is the sexiest thing a girl could ask for.
âThen what can you do that wouldnât be âdisrespectfulâ?â
I knew I was asking for it, but I couldnât help myself. At this rate, I wanted him to make a move.
He chuckled softly, brushing his nose against mine as our faces inched closer together. One hand cupped my face, while the other rested on my hip. I felt his body draw nearer, moving slightly as the music began to swell again, creating a bubble around just the two of us. I slowly closed my eyes, fully aware of what was about to happen. The build-up was intoxicating. I could have closed the distance myself, but something urged me to savor the moment. He began to turn my body until my back was against a wall, his hands landing on either side of me, brushing his lips against mine. When I opened my eyes, I saw him glancing between my eyes and my mouth, so close I could nearly taste him.
My hands moved to cup his neck as we tilted our heads, our lips nearly meeting once more. He was teasing me mercilessly, and damn, was he good at it.
âMay I?â he asked, brushing his nose against mine again. There he went again with that respect.
âPlease,â I nearly begged, and he slowly closed the gap between us, finally kissing me after what felt like an eternity of anticipation.
Our lips moved in perfect harmony, just like how we danced. His hands slid from the bar back around my waist, while mine fumbled to find their place. I felt most at ease tangling one hand in his hair while the other rested at his side. The kiss deepened as our tongues battled for dominance, making me want to nibble at his bottom lip to tease him even more. But just like that, it was over. He pulled away, leaving me craving more.
We were both breathless, but it was more than worth it. I even heard Danielle cheering quietly behind me, which made us glance at her and shake our heads in amusement.
âIâm sorry. If Iâd kept goingââ
I raised a finger to his lips. âItâs fine,â I smiled. âThereâs always next time.â
He nodded. âI hope it made your night a little better.â
His smile was enchanting, and I could tell he genuinely meant it, which made me feel incredible.
âMission accomplished.â I gave him a quick peck. âNow, stay in touch.â
âWait. Youâre leaving?â he frowned.
âNo!â I laughed. âDanielleâs my ride home since Iâve had a couple of drinks.â
âSmart. I like it,â he teased, locking his gaze with mine again. âCare to dance once more before the night ends?â
âAre you sure you donât want to get back to your boys?â I asked, noticing them still on the dance floor.
âLook, those are my best friends. I can dance, drink, and whatever else with them anytime,â he assured me. âTheyâll understand if I keep dancing with you. And while this may be our last dance tonight, I hope to see you again, outside of this bar.â
I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks. Who would have thought one bad night would turn into something so lucky?
âDeal,â was all I could think to say before he pulled me back out to the dance floor, where we danced until the sun rose.

Evangelion 3.0 You can (not) redo be like... (my unfiltered reaction to the movie)
I am only cca 10 min in and I am already crying
WTF HAPPENED TO EVERYONE (but Kaworu bless his soul) I DONT LIKE THIS "GLOW UP"
This is some post post Apocalypse shit and NOBODY gives a shit for a boy who kind of scaed ur asses before and slept for like a long time and is confused af. Like literally nobody like I get it that they are under an attack but it looks like everybody blames Shinji for previous event (at least new guys) like ok without Kaworu everyone would be dead but who was supposed to know Adam and Lilith would fuse like this???
"Don't do anything" BRO MISATO-SAN???? AS INFJ (who's kind of similar to INFP's Shinji) that cold stare and words hurt me deeply
I can't believe I am saying this but I kind of liked anime series and The end of EVA better than this (and that's saying sth)
They even call my boy by some number as if he was some object. Excuse me he's treated as a criminal even though he technically didn't want to be and wanted to save everyone I AM SO MAD
Fine so we are getting our info...
Ya as I thought... 14 years passed... hahahha ofc they'd be a little mad but this is overdoing it... basically he'd die if he got too emotional lol (I wanna die and we didn't even get to Kaworu at this point he HAS to give my boi happiness)
Most depressing NGE arc... is 3.0
REI REI REI
KAWORU ON PIANO
And ofc Gendou is as same as ever lmao (this impact conversed him back to how he was in anime series Ig)
I wonder if NERV is still going to do Human instrumentality project Ig it kind of gives off these vibes (later: I was right this didn't change anything for Gendou just made him even colder like he was written before)
OK so this Rei is different altogether from all previous versions. She's truly like a robot only following Gendou's orders
I feel so bad for Shinji.... rn he only has Kaworu who's obesssed with him obv but tbh at his position I'd take any friends I could get
My so long awaited gay moments I was waiting for are finally here - and the reason why I am still watching (ok that's a lie rn I do want to know how it ends)
"I was born to meet you= I love you" is making me swoon all over again
Well fuck Ig that answers what happened to everyone (the fact that freaking angel had to show it to Mc is even more depressing)
Sometimes doing the right thing can cause massive destruction - a novel written by 3.0's Ikari Shinji
There is always hope - Big applause to the best character in this show I don't care what you think this is what we needed to hear
Fyutsuki trying to do right thing by talking to Shinji while giving us his lore lol (he should have done that sooner) but this will break him
OK so now that Shinji knows he didn't save this Rei he can't find excuse for tragedy he indirectly caused (and for which he shouldn't be blamed for remember SEELE is and has always been the main villain of NGE. But I do understand bitterness of others)... so he's slowly losing his mind
HES TAKING HIS COLLAR? it's scene I saw before when I spoiled myself; afabatvayzvahFga I can't be ever normal about Kawoshin
They're piloting together hahaha (Ig soon we'll see THE tragedy)
Bruh this looks bad (and yk it's bad when Kaworu is nervous)
Gadouh planned all this obv and now we're fucked (again) - but it's OK he'll be killed either way
Btw this is on side note: but I find Makinami kind of annoying in this movie - she's basically being little brat and too relaxed unlike Asuka who's in her war mode 24/7 and it irks me in bad way with that said
How did Kaworu not see this happening is beyond me
We're fighting new Adam Ig (I can't wait to watch theory on this so I'd understand all this better I feel like you're constantly confused how these angel awakenings work)
Is there even anyone left to kill aside from WILLIE and what's left of NERV?? This is the second craziest shit I have seen after The end of NGE because ofc nobody can top that
Lololol
RIP Kaworu - we seen it coming but his last words>>>> dw your resting place will be entirety of the old world (this quote from Genshin is fitting for him rn)
Fourth impact averted at great cost fuck this was amazing
THAT ENDING SONG ;-;-;-;;-;-;-;-;-; AGRESSIVELY ADDED TO MY SPOTIFY LIST
And so...
Bravo Anno you created a masterpiece that you always wanted. Now I can rest in peace before I watch Thrice upon time

long and spoilers ig under the cut
notes as i was watching:
THE GRANDMA IS SOOO MEAAANNN that grandmother disappointment hits different. reminds me of mine and how she's always kind of "gently" disapproved of me being me (mentally ill and gnc and weird)
I read a theory that since mirabel is the next head of household, antonio got his gift from mirabel and not from abuela like the others, so his room and his gift aren't oppressive and mainly used just to serve. it's more about him and what he wants; what makes HIM happy. and that that's kinda shown when abuela is displeased to find animals warming her chair the next morning.
mirabel better than me cuz i woulda cussed every one out, ran away, and sabotaged them. like straight up I would've been the villain of this movie fr. someone said they would've blown that candle out and that's so real đ
the casita def started cracking not because mirabel was feeling bad, but because the rest of the family left her out and were ignoring that one of their family members was hurting. because abuela decided to just overlook mirabel and kind of discard her after she found her useless, and when antonio got his gift and she was so happy, purposely just forgetting the "mistake" resulted in the house starting to shatter, because their family started to shatter (specially the member that is going to be in charge of the house next was left behind, cuz i mean she also did that with bruno and the house didn't start to crack) also how tf did bruno fix the house that fucking quickly
another theory that i read: luisa: brawn, isabela: beauty, therefore mirabel: brains. BUT STILL WHY DIDNT SHE GET A FUCKING DOOR THEN IK ITS JUST FOR THE STORY AND TO PORTRAY INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA BUT DAMN
mirabel's mom is soooooooooo pretty
abuela pulled the one white flower out of isabela's hair đľ pretty sure someone's already pointed that out tho
I wish the sequence for "surface pressure" was based on more of her daily chores and was realistic. i think that would flesh out the surroundings more.
isabela probably had to go thru SO MUCH SHIT as the first grand kid YIKES. i imagine she was much more messy and creative as a child and just got constantly shut down and shit on. and then as she got older she projected all that hate onto mirabel
i definitely feel like this story wasn't fleshed out enough and that they didn't have enough time to portray what they wanted to. cuz it does feel like a lot of love went into this but at the same time why does some of this shit happen? why does that stuff in bruno's room happen? almost like there was some executive interference with the storyboard-ers.
we don't talk about Bruno but the entirety of the town is gonna participate in this musical number
I really need to watch that youtube essay titled "disney has an adorkable problem" cuz true
dolores lowkey sucks like girl can u not shut up. she probably hears so much shit but she has to say something about this during this dinner. ik it's just to further the plot but I hate writing like that.
the fucking door kick back into bruno's rat nest đ
dolores had to hear their whole convo in the walls right??
the kid that voiced antonio did a great job
again to reiterate: grandma being a hater is what's causing the cracks, not mirabel's existence. her tough attitude was necessary after the war but it's not needed now
love fixing a sibling rivalry that's been going for almost a decade with a single musical scoređ
ooo I forgot about the part during this song where isabela and mirabel stop in front of the candle to hug and it glows brighter and the cracks fix themselves. i guess luisa's powers are not working because she still doesn't believe in herself and still bases her worth on what she does for others
are mirabel and abuela the only ones that are able to control/communicate with the casita? I think they're the only ones shown to do so at least.
why tf did pedro stay back and try to stop the men on horse back what the hell was he gonna do. i just feel like some of this stuff wasn't thought out idk.
the whole ending seems like it was cut short and just happens so quick.
the adorkable problem is strong with bruno and mirabel and it just makes their characters dislikable, but then again this was made by millennials. and also it's a children's movie.
what's "the stars dont shine they burn" supposed to mean
movie should've been 2 hours at least, with more interactions with mirabel and her cousins and aunt/uncle, to show more problems with the family and more of her fixing that.
i did read that some people didn't like the fact that they get the magic back once mirabel touches the door knob, but i think that shows the magic is in mirabel and she watches over it and is the next family matriarch pretty well.
with a little rewriting and adding some more points it would've been great but all together i feel it was just a bit lacking. the world building didn't feel very real for some reason, it felt stiff and small. i didn't like some of mirabel's writing/portrayal like i said before, but I do like her, just could've been better.
I hate finishing a piece of media and coming out of it thinking "man that could've been great", something i feel way too often nowadays, and i definitely felt that with encanto. i like the world building, i like the characters, kinda like the story, but there's just something off? or missing? not sure
anyway
would.
thinking about encanto again jfc

To me, it doesnât make sense to make Magneto the main villain because it has been done so much before and it would connect it so much to the Fox Films. Also I think there is a GREAT laziness in writing Magneto especially in films. He generally didnât want to kill all humans, subjugate them yes because he doesnât trust them. Which isnât a âgood guyâ move in itself and he slips in and out of.
He legit murdered genocide I think when he was going to kill all humans. Like no.
I also think that the average cinema goer likes Magneto too much⌠or maybe that is me. It would also require them to recast the most famous faces of the franchises?
Like is anyone going to care if they recast Jean, Scott, Iceman, Rogue, Kitty, Beast even Mystique but Magneto? I donât know. I have long been a fan of an actual Jewish actor playing Magneto but following Ian McKellan would be difficult for the casual fans to accept. I donât think Fassbender left such an amazing impression.
Even my most average MCU fans friends (and god they love the MCU đ¤ but I see past it) still talk about how much they want to see a Magneto solo film.
To me I would put the focus on their reveal and sentinels. Then again I thought theyâll go through Krakoa stuff. Like it turns out the mutants have been living on this Island etc
With the âsimpler timesâ comment I have to for the sake of my sanity have to think that it was because Pietro knew where he was. Things were clear to him, as much as it hurt he had his sister. The following trauma had not occurred. Again I donât think this is true but I am trying to reason bad writing. He didnât doubt his morality but was indebted and controlled. Shitty actions were out of his control.
I donât read Avengers so I didnât know he was shelved for so long.
I think the Trial of Magneto is trying to ride on the coattails of Wandavision because even though sheâs not a mutant a lot of the internet was wanting Magneto to show up. So what is the best way to get those fans who wanted to see that? Set up a family comic book where they establish the family again because I guess the MCU fans heard theyâve changed their background and themselves didnât like it.
I see the Trial of Magneto as something poorly thought out as they saw what the audience was interested in. The timeline kind of clashes uncomfortably with Inferno. Which makes me think it was wedged in there to ride the Wandavision train and undo the retcon on the side of the main storyline.
Thank you for reading my essay/rant
Ok so I'm going to first say you have a lot of great thoughts and great on picking up the whole forced feeling. You are right, it does feel wedged in there and it does feel forced because that's exactly what Marvel did.
The Trial of Magneto was supposed to be an X-Factor plot, it was Leah Williams next arc, here's an article link talking about her podcast: link (yes I know it's bleeding cool but I don't have time to listen to the podcast)
Leah Williams tells us that X-Factor was canceled because Leah's pitch for the Magneto/Wanda story for X-Factor, now called Trial Of Magneto, became such a popular pitch at Marvel but they thought the reader numbers for X-Factor wasn't big enough for this story, so they wanted it as a separate comic. And canceled X-Factor #10 rather than seeing it run as originally planned, with the Trial beginning in X-Factor #15. Williams says she only learned about the cancellation of X-Factor when she was writing #9, so as she had to finish the series quickly, squeezing six issues worth of story into those last two issues, calling it "cramped and rushed".
So I'm not a fan of Leah but the way Marvel treats it's writers has always been terrible so this cancellation doesn't surprise me. Could this be about W*ndaVision? It's likely, but it's more likely this has to do with Hickman bowing out. It's no secret literally everyone hated the retcon and I always knew it would be undone but I didn't think it would take 6 years but here we are.
Hickman leaving is a bigger thing, he stated in an interview ( link ) that he had planned Krakoa and X-Men to be a 3 arc story, and he wasn't allowed to move onto the 2nd arc because the clowns at Marvel liked the idea of Krakoa too much and I'm so mad because that's exactly the kinda behavior that annoys me with the fans, them thinking Krakoa is just a fun playground for the mutants to mess around with.
"Oh, plans have changed entirely," Hickman says. "When I pitched the X-Men story I wanted to do, I pitched a very big, very broad, three-act, three-event narrative, the first of which was House of X. And while this loosely worked as a three-year plan, I told Marvel upfront that I honestly had no idea how long the first part would last because there were a lot of interesting ideas that I had seeded that other creators would want to play with, and so, we left this rather open-ended. I was also pretty clear with all the writers that came into the office what the initial, three-act plan was so no one would be surprised when it was time for the line to pivot." Hickman continues, "However, I also knew that I was cooking with dynamite, and it was very possible that what I had written in House of X, and the ideas contained within, was not actually the first act of a three-act story, but something that resonated more deeply and worked more like Giant-Size X-Men, where it would represent a paradigm shift in the entire X-Men line for a prolonged period of time. So, during the pandemic, when the time came for me to start pointing things toward writing the second-act event, I asked everyone if they were ready for me to do that, and to a man, everyone wanted to stay in the first act. It was really interesting, because I appreciated that House of X resonated with them to the extent that they didn't want it to end, but the reality was that I knew I would be leaving the line early."
I'm so MAD because the thing I was predicting, that Hickman would have it come crashing down and everything would be revealed to be terrible and Mutant Death Sex Cult Island wasn't a paradise is never going to happen because the fucking CLOWNS at Marvel don't want him to move past it. I may have my personal gripes about some of Hickman's writing but we can't deny the man wrote one of the best if only the best Marvel Event with Fantastic Four/Avengers/Secret War.
As for the simpler times comment, like I have my theories that I wrote out here, and that's what I think is most likely but I do think Pietro's life has never been easy or simple once his adoptive parents died. Pietro could be drinking to a time before the Brotherhood.
I would love for a Jewish actor to play Magneto and any other characters who are Jewish. I would love for a Jewish writer to be able to write them too. However Ian's performance literally set him in the minds of the people as Magneto, not even Fassbender's bleh one note Magneto could compare. Imo the only reason people liked the younger Magneto was because he was young, handsome (? ig idk i dont simp for him) and they could ship him with young professor X (cowards. where is the old man ship???) But I feel like a new actor could definitely fill the role if they are Jewish and the writing was good.
Magneto's writing in comics... well I just wish we could have a Jewish writer for him. There's some great stuff for him but I feel like characters like him and Doom could be written better by non white/american writers.
Although by today's standards the og X-Men trilogy doesn't hold up I will defend the first two movies with my life simply because after Blade these movies opened up the idea that a good serious, non campy version where characters called Magneto and Cyclops were taken seriously. X2 in my mind was the definitive X-Men movie. Was it totally comic accurate? No, but it doesn't do what the MCU does, it doesn't treat the watcher like they need to have their hand held through all the military propaganda and "hints to the comics". Also side note; the reason no one cared about any of the other X-Men being recast is because all through most of the X-Men movies the focal story point has been Professor X vs Magneto. If they really want people to care about those characters/actors then we would need stories that focused on them. Not like how Storm barely had any character growth or plot in the og X-Men and even young Ororo got mishandled by the script. This is why I feel we should have "origin movies" for the X-Men that don't do what Wolverine Origins did and try to make a whole new cast but instead should use the stories as they are. If it was Kurt's story then we would see him join the X-Men, and have the other actors revolve around that. Same with each of the others, the X-Men work best when they are working off each other and each given enough screen/page time to shine. Unfortunately we all have our favorites, even movies and writers, so those are who are going to be pushed for fans to love.
Thank you for your long rant and sorry for my own long rant/reply.

chapter 126 - second half, 127 - dragon drive and 128 - switching actors review!Â
i am such a pos for not posting in three weeks! im so so so sorry life just got really chaotic but im back and im better!!! so im just throwing the past three chapters together but i promise chapter 129 i will have it up and ready next week! WARNING!!! there will be SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
chapter 126 - second halfÂ
king is here!! with the glam liner and hes double cheeked upÂ
their beef makes me lol but i am curious who will be number one in like the long run bc i rlly think it could go either way im thinking in terms of raw talent shidou is better but rin will have like a better record (more trophies etc.)Â
i just love the roster sketches look at them i mean their like the wii versions of themÂ
ive said this before and i will say it again why does sae choose shidou what is so distinct abt his style of play im leaning towards the fact that shidou can adapt rlly well has raw ability and can be rlly unpredictableÂ
they are back on their roleplay dynamic like what can i say to this other than go off igÂ
PURRRR NIKO DO UR THANGGGGGGÂ
chapter 127 - dragon drive
the girls are fighting....Â
i think it is rlly interesting that niko, isagi, sae and rin have similar abilities but they manifest differently i mean to be honest everyone has this âpredictionâ ability it is just how well u can predict and pin point what people want that changes the game. ive just noticed tho that yoichi lowkey has the weakest version of this ability compared to niko, sae and rin rlly pushing the underdog narrative for yoichi
lmaoooo niko did not forget what yoichi did to him that look tells me everything also this rlly leans into the theory that bllk will become a team bc it doesnt rlly seem like niko has the same desire to play striker
their dynamic is so strange like how did this become what it is i am so lost
like i feel like im intruding on smth the way they flirt
the leg veins the facial expression the pose iconic love this panelÂ
as per usual sae give us nothing!!!Â
chapter 128 - switching actors
srsly what a weirdo like i was going to say hes acting like hes abt to bust a nut... but he was actually abt toÂ
no commentÂ
ik a lot of ppl hate sae but hes just so talented i cant stop hyping him up
like they are straight up flirting with each other this might be the best bromace so farÂ
poor bbÂ
this remind me of shoto of mha whenever hes like i shouldnt have stopped using my fire im so mad for having trauma type of behavior and i always feel so bad
my ass doesnt even remember hiori yo but I LOVE AND KNOW MISTER REO MIKAGE I LOVE HIM SM but go hiori go ig
ego is such an instigatorÂ
the way no one is soothing him i cant with bllkÂ
omg the toxic bromance is back!!! but manifesting another seishiro goal therefore i wont slander them too much
#bllk#blue lock#manga#yoichi isagi#isagi yoichi#reo mikage#mikage reo#nagi seishirou#shido ryusei#seishiro nagi#itoshi rin#itoshi sae#hyoma chigiri#ikki nikko#chelseaâs thoughts

asdfghjkl its my first time sending in an ask and i'm so nervous barlfbsk. can i please get headcanons on ushijima, oikawa and akaashi having an s/o that is musically talented? i live for your writing! keep up the good work!
This made me remember the pain of playing violin for hours on end, my fingers would get so raw and red and red afterwards so I kinda based some of the hcs on that feeling heheÂ
âď¸ăťăťăťmasterlist
-`,â Ushijima, Oikawa and Akaashi having a musically talented S/O
Ushijima Wakatoshi
He is in awe with your talent
Whenever you play, it doesn't matter if you're performing or just practicing, he'll always just watch you silently, a little sparkle in his eyes
If you perform anywhere, you better reserve seats for him because he will go to every single performance, no doubt about it
He takes probably a hundred photos of you whenever you play or perform, heâs just so proud of youÂ
He isn't well-versed in music his brain is literally a volleyball so he would research about the instrument/s you play
Later on, he'd shock you after he began telling you a bunch of facts he memorized about music theory and different musicians he wants to impress you
Whenever people ask about you, he always tells them how talented you are in such a matter-of-fact toneÂ
âTheyâre the best musician in school.â
âUshijima, stop, noââ
He worries about you practicing too much so heâs always the one reminding you to take breaks and restÂ
He will buy you so many gifts related to music, equipment, tools, extra strings (if your instrument has it)Â
Heâs just so supportive and always will beÂ
Oikawa Tooru
If musicians could have cheerleaders, he would definitely be yours
He is literally your number one fan, always so enthusiastic about your music and always hyping you upÂ
Everyone is so tired of hearing about you, like they are happy for Oikawa and all but he just wonât shut about youÂ
âWatch this video!! Listen to them, arenât they so amazing??â
âThis is,,,the fifth time youâve shown me that, Oikawa-sanâ the first years are concerned
He always records you playing or singing, if you allowed him he would definitely put it as his ringtoneÂ
His ig stories you canât convince that this boi isnât ig famous are primarily just videos and snippets of you playing
Whenever you perform, heâs always at the front row, practically shaking in his seat with pride as he watches you, a hand on his camera, filming, and the other giving you little thumbs up for encouragement
He always says you guys are a power couple because you two are just âbrimming with talentâÂ
One time a jealous fangirl of his said that you werenât even that talented and he literally threw away her presents for him in front of her face she should be glad that was all he didÂ
Akaashi Keiji
He loves musicÂ
Whenever he reads or writes, he always has music playing in the background, silence leads to him overthinking about things and he has had too much of that
So when he finds out how talented you are, he is so excited and happy to learn more about your musicÂ
He actually asks you to teach him a few things, he isnât as good as you but heâs actually kind of a natural which is so unfair, how is he so perfect
Though playing himself is really fun nothing beats listening to you perform
He always has a small smile on his face when he listens to youÂ
Whenever he gets anxious, he finds that listening to you always manages to ground him and calm him downÂ
During your performances, heâs always the first to find you afterwards, and he always has a bouquet of your favorite flowers on hand
âYou were absolutely amazing out there.âÂ
His wallpaper is a picture of you performing heâs too sweet im crying
Whenever you overwork yourself, he likes to take your hands in his and just fiddle with your fingers, massaging the raw skin and sore spots caused from constant practicingÂ
Heâd lift your hand up to his lips and press kisses your knuckles to âmake the pain go awayâ

Sister:
Literal GASP at Ryanâs photo shoot. Like sat up like she rose from the dead and gasped SO LOUD- Yeah weâre both Riley smith groupies, what about it.
(When they locked nancy in the freezer) âI gotta ask. Is the meat hook still in there?â
Here are some more (ignore the contact image please lmao the vibe in my phone is random pics of my friends/family):
So the only explanation you really need is she LOVES Riley Smith, and is definitely crushing on Ryan lmao. She literally GASPED so loud at model Ryan.
And sheâs not a huge fan of Tamura x Nancy. Tbh idk how I feel yet.

 "Iâve been in a very poetic mood lately. I think itâs funny how anything could be considered poetry and something you relate too. Like Twitter or any other social media and the ongoing gag of people feeling the need to announce the fact that theyâre making moves in silence. But thatâs what Iâm doing, making moves in silence. If anyone is in my business now Iâm politely asking you to remove yourself from it before I make you.â
A/N: I only did one proofread so sorry if there are typos and this is just more of an infodump to set up other chapters so enjoy ig. I almost gonna start another series a social media AU let me know if you'd want to be tagged in either of these series.
Series Masterlist Previous Part  Next Part
Nightmares come while Iâm asleep but, when Iâm awake the nightmares of the day just come for me then, so really Iâm just stuck. I would like to say the antidepressants are working, it's just the insomnia that comes with them isn't working for me. Iâm honestly starting to think mood stabilizers would do me better.
Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Iâm not sure I could blame this all on the pills though. Iâd have to give some of the credit to the massive bombshell that a certain ex Avenger had dropped on me.Â
It's almost like every five seconds a new giant secret about my mom is unveiled to me. Like sure I saw from the video that sheâd left me that she had associations with some bad people like Kingpin but nazis?Â
SHIELD had apparently collapsed because it was infiltrated by Hydra but it was prevalent while my mom was still alive. Seems like she had worked for or with everyone who was anyone. Iâm just gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she didnât know because up until two weeks ago I didnât either.Â
Her and Natasha had been recruited at the same time and worked together but for someone who claims to have been so close to her youâd think sheâd know that she was dead. âShe went off the grid and that was the last I heard from her,â is all she gave me with a smile that even I could tell was fake and Iâd just met the woman.Â
You know when grown folks come up to you and expect you to remember them because they met you once while you were like in the womb thatâs kinda my relationship with Natasha. She knows so much about me and I know absolutely nothing about her save for the fact she's a spy meaning sheâd be a great liar.Â
She used to babysit me sometimes if I could trust what she says that is. Apparently I called her âAuntie Natâ. For some reason no one ever thought it was a good idea to inform me that I had a godmother. Maybe they did and I just forgot.Â
I thought they were supposed to take care of you when something happened to your parents. And the one whoâs alive is about as useless as the other. It might be fun to have another person that was considered family. Just maybe not a spy at least Iâd know sheâd walk out of my life so I wonât get attached.Â
Mother, do you think they'll like the song?
âHey mom,â I sighed sitting down in the light dusting in front of her tombstone. âI know itâs been a while and Iâve got a lot to catch you up on,âÂ
It took a bit of digging before I found what I was looking for in my bag. I ran my fingers along the cold surface of the small jewelry box. There was puffy white glue holding the larger pieces together.Â
I placed the box in the grass sitting next to the tombstone. I removed a purple coiled bracelet and sat it next to the box.Â
I tucked my legs under my body admiring the piece of jewelry.Â
âI brought you a bracelet,â I spoke. âItâs kinda like a friendship bracelet cause I have the other. I donât know if I should leave it here in case someone steals it,â I laughed. âYouâd have to be a real shitty person to steal from a cemetery though,â
I curse so often I didnât realize I did it until I had already done it.Â
âAh sorry! Excuse my French,â I chuckled.
âI met Natasha Romanoff and she said she knew you. She said she knew me too. I donât remember her thoughâŚâ I trailed off.Â
For someone who claimed to have a lot to say I sure was at a loss for words. I just didnât know how to get any of them out.Â
âOh! Youâre not gonna believe me if I tell you but I got to meet some of the Avengers. Most of them were new though. Youâd know some of them. Like Captain America I wanted his help but he couldnât provide it,âÂ
I had a bit of an episode when I was told no one knew where Thor was. I think it was justified though.
 How the fuck do you lose two Avengers let alone the ones that canât possibly be hidden. One is green and huge and the other leaves lightning bolts everywhere they go. Â
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
âThe other is Natasha but I donât think I really knew that yet. She went by Black Widow. Iâm sure you knew that though. You probably know a lot,âÂ
I wonder how many secrets she never told me about. I mean I could only imagine all the secrets working for the government would let you in on. Like she probably knew about big stuff like the Tesseract and aliens maybe she couldâve known about that.Â
âOkay I have a question. I have a lot actually but I think if you answer them Iâm gonna get up and run out of here,â I joked.Â
âNumber one is my middle name Natalia because of your SHIELD buddy? Like it might just be a coincidence but it could also be a godmother typa situation or something,â
It was a running theory. She wouldâve known my mom before I was born. And if what I was told is true theyâd be pretty close too and Natasha translates back to Natalia and I know sheâs Russian. It makes sense.Â
Ooh
Mother, should I build the wall?Â
âUh⌠thereâs this boy,âÂ
When was there not? It seems like there was always someone in my life. Carmen in therapist mode said itâs because I put my self worth into my relationship status.
 âHeâs really nice. Like really really nice. Nicer than anybody Iâve ever been associated with. Itâs just heâs likeâŚâ I didn't know how to put the next part into words. âHeâs just too nice. Too nice for me at least. Like heâs such a good person and Iâm just me,âÂ
âAnd itâs I feel bad,â I sighed. I was getting myself too worked up over this. âLike I keep playing like a game of tug a war with him where I let him in and kick him out again itâs tiring. I donât even do it on purpose. I feel like we could be something maybe. But I canât let that happen. I wonât let that happen. Itâs a self defense mechanism. At least I think.âÂ
I do it with everyone. I shut them out before they can get it. The less people you let into your life the less people that can walk out.Â
Itâs a bulletproof tactic. At least I used to think it was. Never realized people could get hurt including myself.Â
âI saw dad,â I informed myself? I guess Iâm not sure how healthy it is to have a conversation with someone you know canât respond and isn't listening. âLike two days ago actually I didnât say anything I freaked out and ran away. It made me think though,â
Mother, should I run for president?
Made me think about how Iâd done so well on my own. Well Iâm not gonna take all the credit, most of it was Carmen keeping my ass in line. I havenât talked to her in a while. I havenât talked to anyone in a while.Â
âI found a small studio apartment in Queens. It was the cheapest one I could find. Iâm just renting it like an Airbnb right now. I need to find a permanent place and a job,â
 I couldnât find a permanent place at my age unless I had full autonomy which leads me to my next topic.Â
âSo I was thinking about getting emancipated which everything wouldâve been a lot easier if you were here then we could just go to court for custody cause youâd win for sure.âÂ
Mother, should I trust the government?
âI know you never got to know how corrupt SHIELD was but do they like keep tabs on everyone who does anything to them or related to them? Because like I did a little snooping and I know they had files for all the Avengers and other people like Kingpin.âÂ
I knew I was going to have to do more than sit here and ask a dead person what to do but ranting to someone who couldnât spill my secrets was a start.
 âI was just wondering how deep it went or if they had hidden stuff on me,âÂ
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Itâs probably common knowledge that if you mess with the government theyâll mess back. Iâd like to think they were like bees. You leave them alone theyâll leave you alone. Only stinging when provoked.Â
But every branch of the government is like a wasp. They donât die if they sting and theyâll sting you for no reason at all. They just like to see people in pain.
And Iâm sure the energy research branch of SHIELD would probably be more than interested in a walking fire bomb that can move things without touching them.Â
I mean Iâm not going to stop poking things around until I figure out whatâs wrong with me. So might as well not complain.Â
âSo I donât have many things figured out right now and the whole you and SHIELD thing only confused me more so if you could just like come tell me what to do just this once thatâd be great,â I laughed.
 At first I was contemplating if this was weird or not but hearing me say that I now know this is pathetic. It always has been.
Ooh
Is it just a waste of time?
But I didnât know if I should keep searching. Maybe I should just pretend like Iâd never gotten introduced to the world of powers or mutations at all. For all I know Peter, Carmen, Felicia, Wade and I are just normal people who do normal people stuff.Â
Sure I wanted answers but I didnât want to end up like those people who spend their whole life searching for an answer they wonât find any and end up never living at all.Â
Like a quote my mom used to say all the time âThe brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all,âÂ
She really just used it so she didnât have to listen to being put on bed rest but it obviously had a deeper meaning and she knew that.Â
I keep finding myself stuck on that phrase. That and the whole when the dust settles poem.Â
Iâve been in a very poetic mood lately. I think itâs funny how anything could be considered poetry and something you relate too.
 Like Twitter or any other social media and the ongoing gag of people feeling the need to announce the fact that theyâre making moves in silence.Â
But thatâs what Iâm doing, making moves in silence. If anyone is in my business now Iâm politely asking you to remove yourself from it before I make you.Â
âUh I donât know if I should even tell you this cause you died before it was even a problem in the first place butâŚâ I blew out a breath digging my feet deeper into the ground.
 âIâve been clean for like two weeks now. Which is actually a thing Iâm pretty proud of right now.âÂ
Iâd stopped using everything except weed, nicotine because those werenât drugs and even then I used it way less than before. Oh, and my antidepressants too but thatâs obviously okay theyâre prescribed.Â
I hated the word clean made me seem like an addict which I wasnât. Iâm many things but I wasnât an addict. I just didnât know of any other words to use.Â
I wasnât an addict but Iâd say the lines between recreational use and dependency were blurring just a bit. I had gotten it straight though. Iâm good now. The antidepressants are helping.Â
Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry
âYou have a superpower of just making people feel better immediately. I donât know if it was the fact you were my mom or what but if you even just put a bandaid on a stab wound itâd probably stop hurting and disappear,âÂ
I wasnât even exaggerating there was this one time I got hurt at the zoo and she just kissed it and I forgot about the fact that I even fell.Â
Iâm not sure how true that is though because I couldnât actually recall the memory I was just told about it by my mom a few years after it happened. So I guess I remember not remembering then being reminded. Weird.Â
âI wanna see the giraffes!â Aaliyah cried, stomping her feet down on the concrete.
This was one of the only times mom didnât have to work on the weekends and Liyah had to have her way like always.Â
âMom!â I screamed âTell her you said we could see the lions first,âÂ
She just sighed. âWell since sheâs the youngest do you think you could be nice and let her go first please?âÂ
âFine,â I huffed. I wasnât doing it for Liyah, I was doing it for mom. Even a blind person could see how tired sheâd been lately.Â
Liyah laughed at me sticking her tongue out. Sheâs such a brat.
âYouâre so dumb.â I rolled my eyes at her.
âI know you are but what am I ?â She teased hitting my shoulder before running away. Â
I took off after her. She may have been fast but I knew I could catch up to her.Â
I almost had her when my foot got caught on something. It launched me towards the ground and I put my hands down to catch myself but I still hit my knee.
I slid on the concrete scuffing my leg. I didnât scream because that would make me weak and it didn't hurt that bad. I just bit my lip and stood up.Â
I didnât want to limp but it hurt too much to put pressure on my leg.Â
Liyah had beat me back to mom and when I reached them she was already apologizing.Â
Fake.
 She was just scared to get in trouble. I wasnât gonna snitch on her anyways.Â
âLet me see it,â Mom asked, grabbing my arm, pulling me to sit down on a stonehenge.Â
She reached into her purse and pulled out a first aid kit. She always had everything in her purse. It was kinda like a super power. The black Marry Poppins.Â
She wiped the scrape with an alcohol wipe and I just barely hissed. It didnât even really hurt anymore.Â
She placed a bandaid on it, smoothing her hands on top of it before placing a kiss there.Â
âThere,â She wiped her hands on her thighs before standing up âAll better?âÂ
I nodded my head and we went off to see the giraffes because Iâm nice like that.
âIn case you were wondering, Aaliyah still always gets her way even now. Iâd say sheâs got me beat on the manipulation game honestly,âÂ
Itâs fine though I taught her everything she knows not everything I know. I could still get one over on her if needed.Â
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
âI found your pendant, the SHIELD one. Which I guess makes all of this real no matter how much I want it to be fake. I just want this to be a poorly written book where I wake up and the past five years were all a dream,âÂ
God knows how much I meant that. Well maybe I didnât mean it too much because some people Iâve met in the past five years are people I donât think I could survive very long without. Even though I kinda exploded on everyone so maybe Iâm gonna have to test my theory on how long I can really survive.Â
âHey Doc,â I greeted pushing up the door of the restaurant.Â
âHey sweetheart, how ya been?â He queried.
âIâve been better,âÂ
âI hear ya,â He nodded.Â
Once we were in the back of the restaurant aka his office. I pulled out the diamond. Doc knew everything about everyone and anything. He could also make a duplicate of anything you gave him.Â
âWhatcha got for me?â He asked, rubbing his hands together.Â
âThis, Iâm not sure what it is,âÂ
I placed the bird pendant on the desk. I found it in a shoe box filled with my mom's stuff.Â
âI was wondering if you knew,âÂ
He lifted it up to his eye to get a better view, His eyesight so bad that his glasses were practically a magnifying glass.Â
âItâs a crest, I donât think Iâve seen this before itâs most likely from a government branch,â He placed it back down on his messy desk. âI can do some more extensive research for you if youâd like,âÂ
âYes, thatâd be great,âÂ
âStop by again tomorrow and Iâll fill you
I wish I never went back to Docâs place or found out about flash drive, Vulture, SHIELD, any of it. Just when I thought my life couldnât get anymore fucked up the devil came out the woodworks and spit in my face.Â
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
âI remember all that testing they did after I agreed to do whatever Stark needed me to do sooo badly. I still donât really know what he did- or heâs doing with all that DNA and other stuff heâd gotten from me,âÂ
Arenât the Avengers and by default Tony Stark products of SHIELD so wouldn't that mean whoeverâs behind all of that couldâve been the one to tell Tony about the fire thing in the first place.Â
That had been the main thing about the whole Stark situation that I still couldnât figure out. Someone needs to tell me how he found out and they better tell me now.Â
âThere are multiple lacerations 1-2 inches lining the upper and lower abdomen,â The doctor lady announced to her assistant. Before moving her cold hand away from my side pushing my shirt back down.Â
Okay thatâs chill nothing I havenât had before.Â
âWeâre gonna have to do another X-ray is that okay?â Her assistant asked. I wasnât going to bother to learn their names. I was planning to stay that long anyways.Â
Whatâs the point? Theyâre just going to come back and say the machine is broken and then do another blood test.Â
âYeah sure,âÂ
I was led into a much bigger room than the last. There was much more machinery too.Â
I was strapped down to a cold blue cushioned table by leather straps. Straps werenât really necessary, not like I was planning on lashing out and mauling anyone.Â
I closed my eyes when the flashes of the machine went off. Apparently I had fractured three of my ribs and bruised my sternum.Â
Youâd think theyâd let me go now but noooo they need more blood and then when they were done drawing blood.Â
They had to hook me up to a machine to monitor- I donât even fucking know what they were monitoring.Â
I just know I had all the pads with wires on my temples and chest and everywhere else. It reminded me of that one time I had to do a sleep study.Â
Except they didnât have holographs to read off and fancy probably government funded tech then. They sure as hell didnât have all this whispering either. Or maybe they did and I was just unconscious.
Still I didnât even want to actually be here and I was cold for once.Â
âHow much long do we have here?â I groaned.
âNot much longer. We just have and MRI left,âÂ
Yeah right. I was gonna be in here for the rest of my life
âI could probably go back there if I wanted answers,â I spoke quietly.Â
âBut I donât want the government in my business like that well at least just not more than they probably are already at least and the tests are so invasive,âÂ
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing
Thatâs not the only invasive thing in my life. Or should I say was in my life? I donât fucking care really.
 My dad was somehow the strictest and the most lenient person ever. I think he just wanted control.
 I used to blame his alcoholism for everything he did but no really heâs just a shitty person. A shitty person who likes to beat on women and take doors off the hinges.Â
âYou are so pathetic!â My mom screamed at my dad.Â
 They had been at this all night. For so long that Iâm seriously contemplating jumping out of this small window right now.Â
Sapphire had no qualms sleeping on the cold tiles of the bathroom floor. Aaliyah and I however were still wide awake.Â
Iâm not sure exactly what was going on in her head but Iâm assuming we're still up for the same reason. To kill our dad if he even touches our mom.Â
I had a kitchen knife in hand as I sat on the bathroom sink. I always had a knife every time my dad started yelling a little too aggressively just in case but this time felt different. Like I was really prepared to stab him this time.Â
I didnât know what it was but something felt off.Â
âAre they done?â Aaliyah asked, rubbing her eyes. The apartment had fallen silent.Â
âI donât know. Stay here,â I hopped down off the sink.Â
I shouldâve known she wasnât gonna listen to me. The kitchen was empty which means they mustâve moved to their room. Â
The next moment was the sort straight out of a family sitcom except the family was falling apart and the kids were going crazy but otherwise it couldâve very well been an âoopsieâ misunderstanding moment. Where the younger child asks âAre mommy and daddy getting a divorce?âÂ
Then the oldest child pulls them into their body and whispers âI dunno kiddo,â or âNo theyâre just going through a rough patch,â anything like that.
 Except it wasnât that. That wasnât what she said and that wasnât what Aaliyah asked me.Â
God how I wish that was what she asked me.Â
I have a bad habit of acting before I think. I opened the door opening my mouth to let out the words in my brain.Â
âYouâre dying? How are you dying?âÂ
They both turned to look at me like they were just noticing they werenât alone.Â
My mom sighed moving closer to me grabbing my arm.Â
âIâm- Im not no ones dying,âÂ
The door creaked as Aaliyah pushed her way into the room.Â
âBut you said âI need you to step up you need to know how to handle it when Iâm deadâ,â She paraphrased cleaning out the cuss words.Â
âIt didnât mean literally dying right now,âÂ
Now I could see how this could be us just jumping to conclusions from like two sentences but she had been weird lately. Like sheâs always traveled a lot and been secretive but lately sheâs been extra secretive.Â
And I could tell the secret wasnât to protect herself so whos to say it wasnât the fact she was currently dying. It actually makes perfect sense.Â
Iâm starting to wish I wasnât always right. Stage 4 Lymphoma. Basically we should go coffin shopping pretty soon.Â
If only she wasnât so selfish and would get treatment for it. She couldnât leave me here by myself. Whoâs gonna take care of us if she dies.
 Iâd thought about it before and I decided Iâd take on the role of caregiver for my sisters but then it was only a what if situation.Â
Wade has cancer and heâs not dead but thatâs only because he got pumped with like super drugs shit.Â
Now I just needed to find some super drugs and figure out how to get her to take them.Â
Fuck Cancer and fuck my dad. Why couldnât he have gotten the diagnosis instead of my mom. A life for a life type beat.Â
I guess that wouldnât have made for a good tragic backstory would it. And what fun is life without a tragic backstory.
 My only question is when does the backstory end and when does the actual plot begin because clearly Iâm not there yet. Itâs only tragedy after tragedy.
 Maybe that is my story, just pain and suffering. Someone has to be the butt of the joke.Â
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
âYou always told me to surround myself with people who you could block out the rest of the world with. Peterâs like that so was Olivia she was one of those people for me. When we werenât yelling at each other or crying, I mean. Still wish you couldâve met her though,âÂ
âAH YES!â I exclaimed, pumping my fist. âI found it,â I waved the joint in the air.Â
âAlright come sit down then,â Olivia laughed, patting the seat on the couch next to her.Â
âShit,â I muttered. âWhereâs the lighter?âÂ
She just laughed at me again. Before reaching into my pocket and slipping it out. I couldnât help but smile at how intimate that action felt for no reason at all.Â
I quickly and lightly pressed my lips to hers muttering a quick âthank you,âÂ
About three minutes had passed and I could feel the weed taking course through my system.Â
My head was in her lap until I abruptly shot up gasping at the beginning of Super Rich Kids by Frank Ocean.Â
âDance with me,â I pleaded it didnât take much convincing because here we were twirling around. Although it was much more giggling than dancing.Â
I bumped my leg on the glass coffee table and immediately apologized making Liv and I laugh so hard I almost peed my pants.
I was laid out on the soft white fur rug with Olivia laying her chin on my chest. I ran my hands through her hair.Â
It was actually very easy there were no knots my fingers just glided smoothly through.Â
âI mean shit,â I breathed âI know I canât run from the rest of the world forever but until then? Bitch you can call me Flash cause Iâm zoominâ.âÂ
She giggled at that before speaking up.
âYou donât have to run you can just stay here with me forever,âÂ
Her words were so genuine it made me want to cry. She basically just said âI love youâ in more or less words.Â
âYou know what? I think I might,âÂ
She gave me a tired smile, turning her head to place a kiss on the top of my breast.Â
I smiled back at her and how adorable she looked right now. I just want to kiss her for the rest of forever.Â
When I glanced back down at her I could hear her breathing slow and her eyes had fluttered shut. She was asleep.Â
I felt all warm and fuzzy and at peace and I couldnât tell if it was the weed or if it was just being in Oliviaâs presence.Â
I wasnât ready to say these words to her when she was conscious yet maybe Iâd never be ready but Iâd say them now. Just to get them off my chest.Â
âI love you,â I whispered.Â
I never really felt comfortable saying that to anyone. Probably a result of not hearing it enough as a child or something. My familyâs never been affectionate anyway. Thatâs fine because I wasnât my family, I was my own person.Â
Stroking her hair gently before drifting off to the land of dreams myself.
So much for forever huh?Â
Itâs funny to think how I took times like that for granted if only I knew those were some of the only moments of normalcy Iâd get for a while. Iâd spent too much time thinking about what couldâve been with almost everything.Â
So much so that I didnât take much time to actually be. Now I feel like Iâve made it to the point of no return. Not mentally but like with everyone else around me. I think I pushed people too far away this time. Not so sure I could get them back.Â
âUh I can't really remember what Iâve already told you so Iâll run through it all. This vigilante or superhero Spiderman started doing his thing then I got caught up in his mess.â That was most definitely an oversimplification but what do I look like telling my mom I was a well known thief. âThen his relation to Tony Stark got extended to me so now I kinda do stuff for him but I donât work for him.âÂ
I don't work for him he might think I do, but in reality he works for me. I had almost everyone at the compound wrapped around my finger.Â
âI donât think I really wanna work for anyone. I was offered to be an Avenger in training but that isnât really my style. I will use his gym though.â I rambled on.Â
It was kinda weird how easy it was to rant to my mom like this because not like she could voice her opinions about anything. I guess I hadnât visited in so long that I forgot what it was like.Â
Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm
âOh!â I exclaimed remembering a very important factor that I left out. âThen we have the whole Staten Island fiasco that I told you about. I remember telling you that. Iâm still searching for answers on how I did that too,âÂ
Like some real answers not that radiation BS.
âYour phoneâs broken,â I pointed out the cracked screen sitting on the wood.Â
âOh shit!â Peter cried âMayâs gonna kill me this is the second phone Iâve broken this month,âÂ
I came off way calmer than I was feeling. Iâm surprised I wasnât running around screaming right about now. I was probably just paralyzed in fear.Â
How do you react in a situation like this in the first place.Â
âOkay how long are we going to be sitting here? What are we waiting on?â Weâd be up here looking down at the fire crackling underneath the pier for like 15 minutes now.Â
âI donât know actually,â He sighed.Â
âUhâŚâÂ
How was I supposed to respond to that? That was the driest response to anything in the history of the world.
 âWell since Iâve already pinky promised I wonât spill your secret can I ask some questions while we wait for you to figure it out?âÂ
âSure, go ahead,â He nodded, shaking his arms.Â
âOkay number one did you think I had died or something because if someone burst into flames in front of me Iâd probably think Satan was coming for me. Iâd cry too,â I laughed but had to stop myself as the stabbing in my ribs ran through me.Â
âNo, I didnât think you were dead, you had a pulse,â He pointed out âMaybe I couldâve thought you were dying though. And I wasnât crying,âÂ
Liar. He so was crying.Â
âAw you donât have to lie I think itâs cute,â I teased if I didnât feel like my body was falling apart I mightâve poked his side.
âAlright, second question: do the webs like come out of you? Cause thatâs kinda disgusting,âÂ
âNo, I make them with chemicals ân stuff. Iâd explain the science to you but Iâm not sure how much youâd care.âÂ
I let out a small laugh knowing what feeling would come if I laughed too hard.Â
âI mean you could explain it âm just not sure how much of it Iâd understand,âÂ
We both laughed at that.Â
âOn the topic of the webs whatâs there integrity like how well do they hold up or like how long,âÂ
âUhâŚâ He blew out a breath running his hands over his face âAs far as I know they last up to two hours. That is unless someone cuts them or something,âÂ
I couldnât help but wonder if Thorn was one of those someoneâs to cut the webs maybe I was the only someone. I didnât really need to ask the question. Aaron had already answered the question for me when he told me about the deal at the ferry. I just wanted to see what Peter would tell me honestly.Â
I spent the rest of the night asking questions and cracking jokes. I was talking for so long I didnât realize how late itâs gotten.Â
It should be a world record how fast I managed to fuck up 5 friendships. Well itâs my personal best at least. Only took like 4 minutes.Â
I feel like thatâs all I do is just fuck up everything. I used to believe there was a difference between being fucked up and being a fuckup but the older I get the more I realize that there isnât.Â
Itâs like someone built a self destruct button in my head and every time something good happens to me I feel the need to run away.Â
Like Peter heâs literally perfect he's smart, respectful, adorable, and selfless. Heâs literally a fucking superhero for godsake.Â
I was trying so hard not to fall asleep. I really was but all the Trigonometry chapter was doing was mixing with the sound of rain outside and triggering the urge to fall into a deep sleep.Â
âOkay,â Peter tapped his textbook with his pen. I wish I could be confident enough to do math with a pen.Â
âSo sin is equal to the opposite of whatever angle youâre trying to find so first you have tooâŚâÂ
He droned on, I knew he was talking about the math problem lying on the bed in front of me but I wasnât listening. Maybe if I sat at the desk I could actually be paying attention right now.Â
âY/N?âÂ
âHmm?â I sat up on my elbows yawning.
âAre you tired?âÂ
I just hummed again. Until I realized what the question was. I reached for my phone and it was already 9:03 that woke me up for sure.
âOh shit! I gotta get back,âÂ
Not like Iâd get in trouble or anything but Carmen would get on my ass about the fact I didnât come back when I said I would then sheâd make something out of nothing.Â
I scrambled around trying to find all my things to put them back in my bag.
âWait itâs raining though,â Peter pointed out.
âYeah,â I chuckled âItâs New York itâs always raining,âÂ
âYeah but itâs cold and wet and dark so if you tried to skate youâd probably get hurt,âÂ
I knew what he was doing and it was working because frankly all his excuses were shit because one I donât get cold and two I could just walk and there are lights everywhere but I was gonna stay anyway. I was too tired to argue right now.Â
âMay!â Peter shouted.
âYes?â She called back.Â
âCan Y/N stay for the night?âÂ
âYeah if her parents are okay with it,âÂ
Thatâs how I ended up wearing some shirt with some dumb science pun sitting on the couch watching Aladdin for like the millionth time ever. I was singing along to One jump ahead when I felt eyes on me.Â
I turned my head but before I could make eye contact with Peter he acted as if he was watching the movie the whole time.
âWhat?â I giggled. Fuck, I hadnât like genuinely giggled in the longest time.
âNothing,â He replied, turning back towards the TV again.Â
This time I was the one to stare at him wondering what was going on in his head. Not even the fourth song in and I was already yawning struggling to keep my head up.
 This goes to show how much willpower I had because I couldnât even stop my eyelids from falling shut. I deserved to sleep though Iâd been exhausted lately.Â
Thereâs only like 6 people on this planet that I trust enough to fall asleep around and surprisingly Peter had become one with like 5 months of knowing me.
 I would still trust him if given the chance Iâm just not sure how much he trusts me right now. I understand though. I donât deserve anyoneâs trust.Â

I haven't had a chance to fully dive into all the goodies last nights video has produced.. nor have I had a chance to read all your thoughts which you know I crave love . I was dumb and watched 3 911 episodes last night ignoring my ig notification that ronen had shared anything so then I had to go to bed bc of work and work has been crqzy. But anyways I just wanted to hear some of your thoughts and say Tarlos officially fried my brain and I really want to write in the spare time I don't have bc of work đđ their soft smiles, kisses, possibly meeting the fam, their date (and let's be honest Carlos was hot as fuck sauntering up to the bar announcing he was tks boyfriend... you know someone got laid that night) sorry not sorry đ
Anyways hit me with your thoughts when you're free if you want â¤
LISTEN, LAUREN. I am always up to share my thoughts because they never end and they just keep coming and I have to unleash them somehow or I will definitely explode.
My brain was just like, ALL CAPS SCREAMING, for about 7 hours yesterday, so Iâll leave you to explore that hot mess on my blog if you want. đ
But, in the time since, Iâve seen a lot of discourse and stuff about the moments that weâve seen, so Iâm going to use this ask as an opportunity to weigh in on everything under the cut...
FIRST, CAN I JUST SAY that at the moment that I am writing this post, we are still trending at #5 and weâve been in the 4-7 range for at least the past, like, IDK, 18-20 hours maybe?! I LOVE THIS FANDOM AND HOW WE LOSE OUR SHIT AT THE SMALLEST THINGS
Okay, so let me go through this thing and comment on the parts, and then give some general thoughts below:
LOVE that this is a promo entirely about the LGBTQIA+ characters and characters of color. Not exactly surprised that they still tried to put as much Rob Lowe in it as possible (thatâs Fox/the writersâ M.O. it seems - to squeeze Rob/Owen in whether he fits or not). Some of his comments were a little awkward, I thought (referring to Paulâs trans storyline as âstuffâ makes me go đŹ), but whatever. Heâs not the point of all of this, so thatâs the last Iâm going to talk about him.
TOMMY VEGA. I AM READY TO STAN. I love Gina Torres, I already love how much heart and soul she is giving just in these quick peeks, I cannot wait to see her in action!
Also let me use this moment to say that while itâs obvious Iâm not getting my Grace + Carlos friendship (thatâs fine if it stays in fandom, Iâll live), Iâm SO GLAD that her and Tommy are gonna be friends! One promo mentioned that Judd has known Tommy before, so it would not surprise me if theyâve been friends for awhile. LOVE THAT.
SPECULATION: This gives me a good time to just throw out a theory that Iâve been thinking about... We know Owen and Gwen are hosting Tommy at their place for a backyard dinner. I assume her husband may be there as well, and I wouldnât be surprised if Judd and Grace are there too.Â
I ALSO would not be surprised if this is when one of the nights at Carlosâs place happens, like a parallel of the two dinner parties. That at least keeps every main character involved in both locations. We shall see though.
So this gathering at the firehouse seems like itâs going to be a pretty big scene, probably for episode 1. I think everyoneâs gathered so that Owen can announce heâs in remission (weâll hear him tell TK first, which is the hug that they share earlier in the trailer, I think).Â
But this gathering also includes a Tommy/Grace moment, a Tarlos moment, the others doing other things kind of moments. Itâll serve the same purpose as a lot of the season 1 bar scenes, and Iâm so glad theyâve moved those to the firehouse. I want that place to really start feeling like a home this year.Â
(I want all of the locations to feel a little more grounded and special, if Iâm being honest. Like, Iâm SO GLAD that Carlosâs place is going to be a key location this season.)
There are now two instances of Carlos being next to Gwen (standing next to her while Owen makes an announcement and now sitting next to her at the table), so we better get some dialogue between them or I WILL BE SO UPSET. I WANT GWEN TO STAN CARLOS AS MUCH AS I DO.
EVERYONE IS SO CUTE IN THIS SCENE OKAY
TARLOS TARLOS TARLOS TARLOS
Like, WTF is TKâs face in this moment?! He looks so shy and bashful but also so happy and mushy and soft and in love. And then the way that Carlos softens because of how soft TK look?!?! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! WHY AM I CRYING.
Seriously, I have to know what theyâre talking about though to make TK fucking melt like that.Â
Emergency stuff blah blah blah
TARLOS KISS TARLOS KISS TARLOS KISS TARLOS KISS
ITâS SO FUCKING CASUAL AND PERFECT AND NATURAL AND LITERALLY JUST LIKE AÂ âI came over to grab this food from you but since Iâm here I might as well grab a kiss because I canât help myselfâ
AND LIKE... Carlos just leans right into it?!?!?!? like itâs something that they do all the time?!?!?! WTF I LOVE THEM
Mateo watches this kiss and kind of looks like he was talking to Carlos, TK, or both of them, so I love that theyâre like in the middle of conversation but still like âwait let me kiss my bf because heâs close by and so hot and I love himâ SCREAMING
ALSO LET ME BE THIRSTY BUT CARLOSâS SHOULDERS AND BACK?!?!?! TKâS FUCKING ARMS?!?! IâM SO DAMN GAY
Speaking of arms: this rando bartender at the wrestling match (so Covid doesnât last long on Lone Star, Iâm assuming like 2 episodes maybe?) -- I love that they tried to put him in a tight shirt and make him look like a possible threat or something and Iâm just like đđđđđđđđđ
ITâS LIKE THEYâVE NEVER SEEN CARLOS REYES BEFORE
AND THEN THE FUCKING GREEK GOD HIMSELF SAUNTERS UP WEARING A TIGHT FUCKING POLO - CHEST OUT, ARMS JACKED, HANDS IN HIS POCKETS TO DRAW ATTENTION TO HIS DICK AND IâM JUST SCREAMING AT THIS POINT
BOYFRIENDÂ
BOYFRIEND
BOYFRIEND
But, like, seriously, there is no comparison. Carlos is fucking Hercules over here and this no-name wannabe boyband member could be a sand-colored rock for all I care.Â
YOU CANNOT COMPETE WITH CARLOS REYES, DONâT EVEN TRY IT
I do feel like these two clips (the calendar line and then Carlosâs line) are spliced together but they might not be back-to-back, and I would love to see how TK responds to the flirting before Carlos comes over
HIS FACE IS KILLING ME THOUGH WHEN CARLOS COMES UP
BLESS RONEN
I feel like I *think* I know what heâs thinking, but I also feel like I donât. Certainly, the scene seems to end with them both smiling and happy, but I wonder if there will be a conversation about jealousy or something?! IDK BUT THEYâRE DEFINITELY GONNA TALK. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.
Someone posted how happy TK is going to be to have a boyfriend who is committed enough to him to be jealous, unlike Alex who didnât care and cheated on him. I certainly think this could be a great moment for them to establish what this new relationship means for them, and Iâm excited to see what they writers have planned.
I JUST LOVE CARLOS REYES THOUGH OKAY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
How many times is Fox gonna use that clip of him holding his gun though? We get it, he raises his gun. Iâve seen it like 7 times at this point.Â
Iâm not complaining, really. Iâll take his face where I can get it.
LOVING the Marjan clips
LOVING the Grace/Judd clips
LOVING the Paul clips
I LOVE ALL OF MY FAVES
CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM DEVELOP THIS YEAR
Hearing Rafa talk about using his voice and speaking for his community just slaughters my heart, I love this man so fucking much and Iâm so happy to be discovering him at the start of his career because he is going to go on to do big things and make the world a better place with his positivity and light and love and Iâm so excited to follow him on that journey I just love him okay
ALSO THE MAN LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD WHAT ARE THOSE ARMS I WANT TO DIE
THE FARMERâS MARKET SCENE
Are they shopping for food for the dinner party theyâre hosting?! Maybe!
WE MEET SOME OF CARLOSâS PEOPLE
There is so much speculation surrounding who these two people could be, and Iâve heard some super interesting theories about Carlosâs backstory.
Iâm gonna be basic though and stick with the fact that I think theyâre his parents.
AND IF THEY ARE HIS PARENTS, THEY SEEM SO HAPPY TO MEET TK.
His dad/the man, like, shakes TKâs hand with so much gusto, a giant smile on his face
And Carlos smiles as he hugs his mom/the woman, and sheâs smiling too
THEY ALL JUST SEEM SO HAPPY
I CANâT BELIEVE WE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE AVOIDING THE HOMOPHOBIC PARENTS STORYLINE COMPLETELY
YâALL DONâT EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT TRAUMA
I mean, I donât know for sure, weâre going to have to wait for the episode. But god, do I hope for it with every fiber of my being. I want their trauma, if they have to have it, to be separate from their sexuality. Theyâve done so well with TK so far, I want the same for Carlos. Let the story be fresh, let it be different, LET US HAVE DIVERSE GAY STORYLINES.
YâALL THE TEAM HANGING OUT AT CARLOSâS PLACE
I CANNOT
IâLL NEVER BE OVER IT
HEâS PART OF THE CREW. HEâS PART OF THE FAMILY.
ITâS EVERYTHING THAT I COULD EVER WANT FOR HIM OKAY
IâM SO FUCKING HAPPY
THEY ARE SO HAPPY
WE ARE ALL SO HAPPY
IâM CRYING
IâM DEAD
LOL that was a lot but so was this promo.
Now, some somewhat sobering thoughts...
We all know season 1 had a real diversity and inclusion problem, weâve seen the numbers. We also know that during the promotion for season 1, we ALSO got a diversity promo focusing on the LGBTQIA+ characters and the characters of color. I love that Fox wants to highlight the incredibly talented actors and characters that they have, but all of it means nothing if they are still tokens on the show.Â
I have full faith that season 2 will be better, that some of the justified anger and frustration made it back to the writers and they internalized it and then make some real changes. However, because we did get a diversity promo last year, I have to remain a little cautious. This promo doesnât really mean anything and if, somehow, season 2 goes the way season 1 did, it will be another instance of Fox using the characters of color to draw people in without actually giving them screentime and development. Which is a HUGE PROBLEM. So... Iâm very excited and very hopeful, but also slightly wary.
Similarly, Iâve seen people say that theyâre worried that, while there is so much Tarlos in this promo, this might be all the Tarlos we get this season. I donât share the same concern, but like the diversity issue, I understand where that comes from. There was a lot of Tarlos in season 1â˛s promos and, as we now know, they got screentime in episodes 1-3 and then virtually nothing until episode 10.Â
I kind of lost track of the filming schedule, but I think before they went on the holiday/extended hiatus, they filmed the first 5-6 episodes? Maybe? And we know that weâre getting 14 total this season, which means itâs possible that they havenât even filmed half of them.Â
I think the footage that we got in this promo is from, like, 3 or 4 episodes max. Definitely episodes 1 and 2, maybe 4, possibly 5. The crossover is episode 3 and I am still expecting to barely see Carlos in it - I just think itâs going to be very fire heavy one, especially with the members of the 118 coming in to steal screentime. He could be in one scene, maybe? Idk, Iâm just not expecting a lot from that episode.Â
And sure, we could get a lot of Tarlos at the beginning and then nothing for a whole string of episodes, but that also just doesnât seem possible with the way theyâve restructured the relationship dynamics. Like, it really does seem like Carlos is going to be a part of the family this year, so I think it will be easier to include him and harder to delete him entirely. (Please let him at least appear in every single episode, I donât want to be so fucking angry like last year.)
Also, if all of these scenes stay in the episodes, we are getting AT LEAST 4 Tarlos conversations - the firehouse, the wrestling match, the farmerâs market, the flirting by the truck - and other scenes of them being in the same space as part of a group. Iâm sure there will be even more that weâre just not seeing. Iâm very optimistic for this season and for the Tarlos content, and I really donât think weâll see the front-loaded imbalance that we saw last season. I think when they get back to filming the later episodes, there will be a good amount of Tarlos content in those, too!
I will say, though, that I am worried weâve just seen the only kiss that theyâll share in the first 5 or so episodes. Iâm just so used to network TV placing a limit on gay kisses, and Idk how much that has really changed in recent years. I truly love this kiss, and I hope there are more, but I would not be surprised if we end the season having only gotten like 2-3. (PLEASE LET ME BE WRONG.)
ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS UNTIL WE FIND OUT FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TayLiz Returns (August 2011 - January 2012)
Now, Taylorâs music suggests her and Liz got back together and broke up a bunch of times. Itâs kind of hard to pinpoint that exactly, since theyâre on tour together constantly and canât really have a break from each other that would be discernable by an outside source such as myself. However, this is the time for it! Time for mess! Time for fun!
9 August 2011 - Speak Now in Chicago. Taylor covers Sugar, Weâre Going Down by Fall Out Boy:
youtube
The lyrics that stand out here to me are:
Is this more than you bargained for, yet? Oh donât mind me, Iâm watching you two from the closet Wishing to be the friction in your jeans Isnât it messed up how Iâm just dying to be him? Iâm just a notch in your bedpost But youâre just a line in a song
Of course, once again. Taylor could just like the song. But I think itâs interesting.
10 August 2011 - Speak Now in Chicago night 2. Taylor covers I Want You to Want Me:
youtube
This one is REALLY INTERESTING in the wake of Lizâs breakup. Some choice lyrics:
I want you to want me I need you to need me Iâd love you to love me Iâm begging you to beg me
Oh, didnât I, didnât I, didnât I see you crying? Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
So does Taylor want her back? Or does she just like the song? Could go either way.
16 August 2011 - Taylor goes on a Girls Trip to Charleston with Liz, Caitlin, and a few other friends. Now, in a birthday post years down the line, Liz would reveal that Taylor specifically planned this trip because Liz was having a good time (Weâll get there in Late-Stage TayLiz). This feels like healing breakup blues to me.
While there, Liz tweets about possibly sharing a bed with Taylor again:
Taylor takes some great black and white photos of everyone that will show up in a later photo blog and Liz tweets about how much she loves retro photographer Taylor:
18 August 2011 - End of Charleston trip.Â
Liz tweets about Taylor healing her heartbreak blues:
That night is Speak Now in Alberta. Arm lyrics: âFind the Grace in the things you canât change, and help somebody if you can.â Taylor covers Complicated by Carolyn Dawn Johnson:
youtube
Choice lyrics, you know the drill:
Iâm so scared that the way I feel is written all over my face We used to laugh, we used to hug, the way that old friends do But now a smile and a touch of your hand makes me come unglued
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay
Another friend tells me that my name is always on your lips They say Iâm more than just a friend, they say I must be blind Well, Iâll admit Iâve seen you watch me from the corner of your eye
What an utterly appropriate post-Charleston trip song.
19 August 2011 - Speak Now in Alberta. Arm lyrics: âHey brother, weâre all learning to love again.â â Mat Kearnyâs Learning To Love Again.
22 August 2011 - Taylor posts âThe Charleston Photo blogâ on MySpace, featuring pictures from the Charleston trip:
So, clearly, they had a good time.
23 August 2011 - Liz quote tweets Taylor about the Charleston photo blog:
27 August 2011 - Speak Now in LA. Taylor covers Bette Davis Eyes:
youtube
Now, not only is this an EXTREMELY GAY COVER considering itâs about how beautiful a woman is, but Bette/Betty is a popular nickname for Elizabeth. And just look at the lyrics:
And sheâll tease you And unease you All the better, just to please you Sheâs precocious And she knows just What it takes to make a pro blush
IS THIS NOT EXACTLY WHATâS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY NIGHT DURING BETTER THAN REVENGE? TEASING? UNEASING? MAKING A PRO BLUSH??? Hmm, Taylor, what an interesting choice of a cover in the wake of the Charleston Trip...
Itâs worth noting that Liz also grew up in the LA area, making this even more special if it is about Liz.
5 September 2011 - Taylor and Dianna Agron meet for the first time at the Fairfax Flea Market after being introduced by mutual friend, Ashley, who was working for Diannaâs hairstylist at the time. Dianna had lowkey outed herself that summer with #Shirtgate and considering all the mess going on with Liz, itâs possible Ashley (among Taylorâs other friends) were looking to introduce her to someone else.
8 September 2011 - Taylor diaries about writing Red the previous day and then recording it:
In a later interview, Taylor described Red like this:
âSo this is a song that I wrote about the kind of relationship that is both the best thing and the worst thing at the same time and thatâs why you canât forget about it. Itâs called Red.â
So, I have a two big theories about Taylor writing and recording Red at this point in the timeline:
1) TayLiz have IMMEDIATELY broken up again after the Charleston trip, and thatâs why a mutual friend decided to introduce Taylor to Dianna.
2) Taylor and Liz are about to get back together again, and Taylor writes Red as a way of looking back on what she had with Liz back in 2009 before diving into a relationship with her again.
Iâm leaning towards 2, but 1 could be true too. Who knows?
13 September 2011 - Rodarte show at NY Fashion Week. Taylor is interviewed by Vogue while there. She says thereâs âjust been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash and burn heartbreakâ and that thatâs what the next album is about. This really makes me think TayLiz breaks up IMMEDIATELY again after Charleston.
Taylor also gives these four things sheâs learned about love and life recently:
Number two and four read like Jake shade to me.
16 September 2011 - Speak Now in Nashville. Taylor brings out Hayley as a special guest, they sing âThatâs What You Get.â Hayley would later say she was surprised Taylor didnât ask for Misery Business as Thatâs What You Get wasnât one of their more popular songs at the time. (Keep in mind this is the song TayLiz jammed to years ago at the Paramore concert):
youtube
This song makes me think thereâs a lot of back and forth happening between TayLiz right now if we look at it lyrically. However, things could be great in TayLiz land and Taylor just chose to perform this song because she knew Liz liked it.
19 September 2011 - Liz performs Jenny Turn Around with Tyler Hilton after Speak Now in Nashville. Tyler tells a story about how he went to the TS concert just before and Taylor had said that her and Liz both really love this song.
29 September 2011 - Liz tweets about crying to the song âThe Heart Wonât Lieâ by Vince Gill.
And thus, the back and forth continues.
16 October 2011 - Taylor recommends Lizâs YouTube channel and she gets an influx of subscribers:
30 October 2011 - Taylor diaries about being sick on tour, getting Meredith, and having written two songs in the last few days:
This usually signifies thereâs a lot going on for her emotionally, although itâs hard to tell what since we donât know which songs these are. (My best guess might be Treacherous??)
31 October 2011 - Liz tweets about getting married.Â
Taylor posts a photo of her, Liz, and Caitlin on Instagram:
8 November 2011 - TayLiz have a âsoul feeding timeâ together:
9 November 2011 - Taylor posts a wedding dress train picture to IG with the caption âDress trainâŚâ
12 November 2011 - TayLiz flirt more onstage during BTR:
18 November 2011 - Speak Now in Columbia South Carolina. Arm Lyrics: âWhere would we be today, if I never drove that car away?â These are from the song âDonât Think About Itâ by Darius Rucker. The lines before this go:
When we make choices we got to live with them Heard you found a real good man and you married him I wonder if sometimes I cross your mind Where would we be today If I never drove that car away?
To me, this plus the dress train pictures reads as Taylorâs reaction to Emily getting married the following day.
19 November 2011 - Emily gets married. TayLiz are papped leaving a restaurant in London:
27 November 2011 - CMT Awards in Nashville. Taylor arrives with Liz and others.
1 December 2011 - Taylor shoots her vogue cover where she cuts her bangs at the Bowery Hotel. Her band (including Liz) comes to support her and her and Liz take a photo with their matching hair:
13 December 2011 - Taylorâs birthday. Sheâs recording something in the studio and posts a photo to tease the Red album (presumably sheâs already titled it at this point).
Here are some pictures from the party:
22 December 2011 - Safe and Sound is released. TayLiz both tweet about it:
Taylor also posts about it on IG:
IN CONCLUSION: After Taylor pursuing her all summer, and Lizâs breakup with Jason, TayLiz took off again. They (maybe) shared a bed during Charleston, and Taylor certainly seems to have covered Bette Davis Eyes with her in mind. Their relationship is a little less obvious than they were in 2009, but that makes sense, considering the way Taylor has skyrocketed in popularity since then. Of course, they still are going to have some problems...

When I Have You - Chapter 1
This can also be read on ffn.net and ao3
A/N: This story will follow the lives of Ron and Hermione from the end of DH, to the epilogue and then beyond. This places all of my head canon in one story, along with tidbits of canon provided by JKR throughout. I like to stick mostly to canon post war, so I've followed the books to a T, and mostly everything post war is canon or canon-compliant. There will be the odd change, most barely noticeable.
Also, standard message that this in no way follows the Cursed Child plot at all, and I ignore it completely. This includes Hermione becoming Minister for Magic (which I know is something people like to include), as it makes no sense in comparison to the other canon JKR has provided. Plus, I hate Cursed Child, so⌠yeah.
Also, prior to reading this, please be aware that this story is intended to be LONG, it is intended to be an extremely slow burn. The chapter length is currently unknown, but I am predicting well over 200 chapters by the end. This is also not action packed, nor is it filled with unpredictability. This is a story where I go into excruciating detail about their lives after the war, but the intention is to be no surprises. Everything you think will happen, WILL happen. Please be mindful of that before going into this. I don't want anyone to be left disappointed. The idea is to detail their lives, not to have you on the edge of your seat with anticipation! If that's what you're after, this story is not for you.
This story also will contain implied sex. Sex scenes resemble 90's sitcoms â you have the before, you have the after, but none of the in between. They also talk a bit (not a lot, because it's not my focus) about sex. I am writing about their relationship, so it's obviously going to exist, but it's not going to be detailed, just implied.
Also, last but not least, this story has an Instagram account. As it's so long and detailed, I've decided to add some hopefully additional entertainment to it. The handle is (with no spaces) 'whenihaveyou . romione' on IG. Please feel free to follow. If for some reason you can't see it on here, feel free to PM me for it. I'll be posting small sneak peaks, responses to questions, etc on there. I'm even throwing my hand up to attempt some fanart on my own story, but I promise that writing is more my thing lol.
And now, to the story (I swear the future a/n's won't be this long). I hope you enjoy, and as usual, your thoughts, comments, questions, are all appreciated!

Chapter 1
Ron brushed a stray strand of hair away from Hermione's face, which lit up at his touch. A smile graced her lips, but her eyes remained closed for a few moments longer. It was their favourite way to spend their afternoons; lying on his Chudley Cannons spread, arms around each other, sometimes dozing or sometimes talking. After long days of preparing for the coming funerals and Flooing to Hogwarts to help with repairs, it was always nice to come back and not think about the devastation that had befallen the wizarding world. While everyone grieved, these few moments together were a welcomed solace.
When laying beside her, Ron allowed himself a few moments of happiness. Because that's what she made him feel: happy. When she'd thrown her arms around him and kissed him in the middle of the war, he thought he'd loved her then. Now, ten days later, he realised how mistaken he'd been. This was love. Spending almost every moment, day and night, with her; holding her, kissing her, had made him fall helplessly in love, and for the first time ever, he was almost certain that she felt the same way.
He kissed her lightly on the lips, running fingers through her thick hair. She smiled against him, her eyes finally opening.
"We should go down and help the others with dinner," he murmured. "Before Mum comes looking for us."
As was to be expected, Molly had been a mess since the end of the war. Fred's death had impacted all of them, but no one more than his mother. For the first few days, they'd not seen her as she kept herself locked away in her bedroom, Arthur bringing her every meal. On the third day, she'd ventured out for a few moments before taking one look at everyone and bursting into tears. She'd spent another two days locked away after that.
She was out and about now, but out of respect for her feelings, Ron felt it best to keep his sudden relationship with Hermione secret. He did not think his mother would take kindly to one of her sons finding happiness in such a dark time.
They'd intended to keep it secret from everyone apart from Harry and Ginny, but word had gradually gotten out amongst the rest of the Weasleys. Bill had stumbled upon Ron placing a kiss on her forehead one evening before going to bed. Charlie had caught them holding hands in the Burrow's garden another night. Percy seemed to just know, and Arthur had awkwardly found them in a passionate embrace one morning in a Hogwarts' corridor.
No one spoke of it after, though. Everyone seemed to know better than to mention anything in front of Molly, so meal times resulted in limiting their affection to smiles across the table. That made these moments alone even more special.
Hermione sat up, resting her back against the headboard and yawning. Today had been especially difficult; after days of being hounded by the press as they demanded answers and spat out ridiculous theories (at Hogwarts, of all places), Harry had Disapparated to who knew where and hadn't returned. If he had any sense, he would have gone somewhere no one would find him. Ron suspected he had gone to Grimmauld Place.
"You think Harry's alright?" Hermione asked, rubbing her eyes.
"No, not really," Ron said. "But I can't blame him. The media have been unforgiving. It's easier for us to brush them aside, because they don't care as much about us. Can't imagine what it's like for him."
"How long should we give him?" Hermione asked.
"A few days." Ron shrugged, feeling his mood darken. "Fred's funeral is in three days. Lupin and Tonks' the day after that. I can't imagine him missing them."
Hermione looked less convinced. She looked at Ron, clearly worried. Ron placed an arm around her shoulder and drew her to him so that her head was on his shoulder. "He'll be alright," he assured her. "He just needs some time."
There was a moment's silence, and then, "Ron?" Hermione's voice cracked as she spoke his name.
"Hm?"
Silence again. Ron squeezed her tighter as he felt hot tears against his shirt. It wasn't unusual for these moments to end in tears, for one reason or another. They'd both had their fair share of crying over the past week and a half. He'd lost count of the number of times she'd been there for him, especially after the first few days when the memories of Fred haunted him most clearly. They still did, but he'd managed to get them under control for the most part. Though, he was dreading the funeral.
"Hey."
Hermione lifted her head at the sudden voice appearing at Ron's bedroom door. It was Bill, looking at them both with defeat. "You two better come down soon, otherwise Mum'll send a search party. She wants to start dinner, and Dad is fighting herâŚ"
"Mum wants to cook?" Ron asked.
Bill nodded. "She's insisting. Ginny is really giving it to her, but she's refusing to listen." He smiled slightly. "I guess it's good to see some of the old fight back, eh?"
Hermione pulled away, wiping the tears from her face. "We should go and help," she sniffed.
Ron nodded, and they both climbed off his bed. Hermione left ahead of them, walking past Bill as if slightly embarrassed that he'd seen her cry. Ron went to follow, but Bill stopped him by clasping a hand on his shoulder.
"You alright? Dad mentioned what happened with Harry today."
Ron nodded. "Yeah. I think a part of me knew it was coming. He's been one moment away from an explosion all week. We've just got to give him some time."
Bill nodded, squeezing his shoulder. "Let me know if you need anything."
"Thanks," Ron said.
Bill let Ron go past, following him down the stairs without speaking. Everyone was in the kitchen, Ginny arguing with Molly.
"We told you, Mum! You're not doing anything. The rest of us have got this. Look â" she threw a hand in Ron's direction, "â Ron's here now. An extra pair of hands, an extra wand! We'll have dinner ready in no time."
"Come on, Mum," Bill said, gently placing his hands on Molly's shaking shoulders. "Let's go and sit down." He slowly guided her from the kitchen and into the living room.
After she was gone, Ginny rounded on Ron. "Your appearance a little earlier might have been beneficial, you know." Her eyes flickered to Hermione, softening when they saw her tear-stained face. She looked away. "Sorry," she mumbled.
"It's alright," Ron said. "We're here now. Where do you want us to start?"
It had become the norm for all the children to prepare the meals each night, with some help from Arthur occasionally. It was the least they could do to make things easier, but since their mother had decided to venture from her room, insisting that they could handle it had become increasingly harder. Ron suspected she wished to busy herself by cooking for her large, yet broken family.
Tonight's preparation was sullen. Even the occasional laughter that had occurred other nights was gone. Ginny's mood was dark, her hurt at Harry's disappearance obvious. Like Ron and Hermione, she'd chosen not to share her relationship with Harry to her mother. If that was what it even was. Harry had pushed most of them away, including Ginny, and had snapped at all of them more than once in the last few days.
Dinner was even quieter, with no one speaking apart from asking someone else to pass a bowl over. Ginny, who had been the most cheerful of the bunch, said nothing at all and barely touched her food. Molly watched her with concern, but said nothing, perhaps understanding why her daughter was so upset. There was an emptiness around the table, one that could only be filled by Harry's reappearance â and, Ron thought, George's. Both were as much part of the family as the other, but neither wished to see anyone.
Hermione helped Bill and Charlie clear the dishes and do the washing up, while everyone else moved into the living room. Ron sat on a conjured two-seater couch that really needed a good clean, saving the second spot for Hermione when she returned.
A small chatter started around the fireplace, with Percy talking of how the Ministry was looking to get things back to normal in the coming weeks.
"Something needs to be done," he said to Ron. "In this time, people need leadership and we currently have none." He then lowered his voice so that only Ron would hear the next part. "Between you and me, the talk is that Kingsley Shacklebolt will be appointed the next Minister for Magic."
This surprised Ron, and yet, it didn't at the same time. He looked at his brother. Percy had become somewhat more enjoyable to be around since the end of the war. Ron didn't think they'd be best friends any time soon, but at least he didn't get the urge to roll his eyes everytime Percy opened his mouth any more. He was Ron's brother, after all, and finally, Ron was able to see him as such.
"That's a good choice, don't you think?" he said.
Percy gave a curt nod. "Yes, I think so."
Hermione, Bill, and Charlie came in after that, and Ron shuffled over so that Hermione could sit next to him. Instinctively, he reached for her hand, but she jolted it away and nodded her head in his mother's direction.
He flushed, his face turning even redder when he saw that his mother was watching the two of them, her eyes narrowed.
"Great," Ron muttered to Hermione, "now she probably thinks you're rejecting my advances, or something."
"Wouldn't that please her?" Hermione asked.
"I don't think either way would please her."
Slowly but surely, people began drifting off to bed. Bill left via Floo for his home â as he did every night â while Charlie and Percy headed upstairs to their respective bedrooms.
When Ginny announced she was going to bed fifteen minutes later, Molly's eyes flashed to Hermione. "I suppose you'll be wanting to go to bed too, dear, so as not to wake Ginny?"
Hermione jumped, her cheeks reddening from the brashness of Molly's voice.
"It's fine, Mum," Ginny said. "I'll be fine."
"But, you don't want to wake her, do you Hermione, dear?"
Hermione had not spent a single night in Ginny's room since being there, just like Harry hadn't spent any in Ron's â an arrangement all four had been happy with. Ron had a sneaking suspicion that something had finally clicked with his mum, because she was now watching Ron as if waiting for him to react.
"Right," Hermione said. "I-I'll go, too. Goodnight, Mr and Mrs Weasley. Ron."
"Er, night, Hermione," Ron said. "See you in the morning."
After Hermione and Ginny had disappeared, a silence fell over the living room. Ron could only stand it for a few moments before he jumped to his feet and said goodnight, too.
Taking the stairs two at a time, he was disappointed to find Hermione not waiting for him in his room. He knew it had only been ten days, but the thought of falling asleep without her suddenly made him feel lonely. He'd become accustomed to her presence, her smell, sleeping with his arms around her, and waking to find her cuddled up against him in the mornings. It was a feeling he had hoped would last longer; forever, if he dared think it.
Unable to help but feel angry with his mother, he changed into his pyjamas and climbed under the covers. It was cold, and he had far too much space in his magically extended bed.
He tossed and turned for what felt like hours, and just as he was finally drifting off to sleep, he was woken by soft, warm lips against his cheek.
"Hermione?" he mumbled, making out her figure in the dark.
"Who else would it be?" Hermione asked, pulling back the covers and falling in beside him. "Ginny figured your mum would come and check to make sure I really was there â I think she suspects I've not been sleeping in the spare bed â so we had to wait."
"Did she?" Ron asked, rolling over and wrapping her in his arms. Instant warmth washed over him, and he buried his face into her hair.
"Yes."
"I'm glad you're here now." He kissed her shoulder and held her even tighter.
"Ron?"
"Mm?"
"What I wanted to say before, when I⌠couldn'tâŚ"
Ron loosened his hold on her, and she rolled over so she was facing him. He reached for his wand and lit it. He'd not realised she'd wanted to say anything before. "What is it?" he asked.
Under the wandlight, he saw her smile. "I wanted to say that I⌠love you."
The wand slipped from Ron's hand. He scrambled to find it from within the tangle of covers and relit it. "You⌠do?" In the mess that was the aftermath of war, it only occurred to Ron now that despite his intense feelings and love for her, he'd not actually said those words out loud. He'd thought them â every moment of every day â but he supposed his brain had been so convinced that she knew how he felt, that he had just assumed it was something they'd said to one another.
"Yes," Hermione said, her face practically glowing in the dim light.
"Oh, geez, I didn't even realise â"
"It's okay, Ron. I don't mean to rush you. I just wanted to tell you." She sounded so calm, so pleased with herself.
"What? Rush me? Oh, God, Hermione, I love you a ridiculous amount it's not even funny. I thought I told you that? Why have I never told you that?"
"Preoccupied?" Hermione suggested heartfully. "With a war, with losing our friendsâŚ"
Ron kissed her hard on the mouth, to which she responded enthusiastically. He felt her heart beating furiously against his chest, she was that close to him. The kiss deepened â by her, not him â and Ron became suddenly aware of every part of her. Her hands, in particular, had become rather adventurous, running along his arms, his chest, trailing further down... (Merlin, she was enthusiastic)... and then it hit him. He understood. And his bloody nerves got the better of him.
He pulled away, staring at her, the wand still in his hand. She stared back, her cheeks flushed, her breathing heavy, clearly determined to not feel embarrassed by her advancement.
Ron, however, didn't know what to do. Like forgetting to actually tell Hermione how he felt, anything other than holding her at night had not been a priority for him. He loved her deeply, he sought her comfort, but the grief still lingered and he'd not even contemplated taking their relationship further. Well, it had crossed his mind, but not as a serious thought. Not until after the funeralsâŚ
But now that it had been presented to him, even if she hadn't said the words directly, it seemed highly appealing.
"Have you, er, been thinking about this?" he asked, pulling completely away from her and sitting up in the bed.
"It's not something that spontaneously popped into my mind, if that's what you mean," Hermione said. For the first time, her voice sounded flat. "Sorry if I scared you. I just thought⌠I should probably have asked. Do you want to?"
"Yes!" Ron said, a little too quickly. He blushed, but then noticing the smile on her face he added, "Merlin, yes. I love you. I want to. You just caught me completely by surprise. That's all."
"Sorry." Hermione also sat up, facing him. "Perhaps I was a little too forward."
"No, no," Ron said. "I liked that." He grinned, albeit awkwardly. It didn't stop his body from tingling all over, though. A seed had firmly been planted in his mind now, and it was a good seed. A fantastic one.
"Just not tonight?" Hermione guessed.
Truthfully, as much as the idea thrilled him, it terrified him just the same. He was more than happy to kiss her, to hold her hand, but the concept of sex was something different. The insecurities he felt about being so intimate washed over him, just like they had done when Lavender had asked the same of him all those months ago.
The only difference this time was that he genuinely liked Hermione a whole lot more...
Taking his silence for hesitation, Hermione said, "I'm sorry, Ron. I didn't mean to â"
"Don't be," Ron said, reaching out and running a hand along her exposed arm. "You just made me start thinking."
"About?"
He watched her, his heart beating rapidly as he did. She was just incredible. Amazing. She was perfect, and there she was, scarred as much as him from the war, but wanting him. Ron. She loved him.
"Not tonight," he said, shaking his head. "But tomorrow? As nice as it was, you throwing yourself at me isn't exactly how I imagined it to go⌠not for the first time."
She smiled and nodded. "Okay," she said, and she crawled slightly forward on the bed and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her, now realising how much he wanted her back, how much he wanted to be with her. Now, he had to exercise a whole lot of control because her touch set his skin on fire.
"Hm," he chuckled, pushing her away.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Maybe we should⌠take a break," he said, uncomfortably.
"Why? Oh," Hermione flushed, seeing Ron's own red cheeks. She climbed off him. "Right. Sorry." She laid back down on the bed with Ron beside her, though he dared not touch her again just yet.
As he drifted off to sleep, his mind trailed to tomorrow night, and despite his heart pounding in his chest, and his sudden sweaty palms, it couldn't come quick enough.
His last thought before falling asleep was of Hermione, and how he simply could not control just how much he loved her.

Hii! May i ask for a slice of cake? (If you can ofc)
So im a INFP-T virgo im also 4"11 i have dark brown hair it because wayy lighter near the sun. Also dark brown eyes my hair is cut kinda like a shag like the front is cut but the back isn't (bc of my parents) my style is grunge ig? Im very inlove with fairy style Smm but because im broke i cant really fulfil my love for that style (also probably because of my parents). My body is???? Okay my boobies are medium size and no unfortunately I don't have a fat ass đ im not chubby but at the same time im not skinny. Like the most fat goes to my tummy I get rolls when I sit down bath blah you get my point (im pretty insecure about it lolol). One of my two main dreams is to study abroad and become an interior decorator.
I dont know how to describe my personality but I will try. My best friend always tells me that my sense of humour is downhill BAD. I would laugh at the dumbest shit ever for example i laughed one of those pixilated bugs pics with random names on the bottom đ also I laugh at my own trauma and stuff that shouldn't be laughed at. I kinda have anger issues đ I get unmotivated pretty easily. I rant to my best friend alot and she says that im â¨depressed⨠and have â¨anxiety⨠and that i need therapy. Im scared to rant to my parents because im "too young and its just my hormones". Something that I found out about myself this year is i have chill tics đŚ (from anxiety). Outside im nice and sweet but on the inside my mind is just saying other things. Im SOMETIMES cold and say what's on my mind but thats to my close ones like my mom dad or friends. I dont lie going Outside alot I think school is kinda useless. I like to draw and listen to music my fav artist are mother mother and mitski.
I hope i didn't say TOO much anyway thank youu I hope you have/had a great day :)
đ° for @shotosimp2
Romantic Matchup
Oikawa Tooru
How yall met
Ok im ngl
Y'all had know clue who each other were
Well that's a lie
Of course you knew who Oikawa was
But you just didn't care
Now Oikawa always saw you around school
You know...in the school uniform
But one day
He saw you outside of school in all of your grunge glory
And apart of him was like bitch wtf
And the other was like ok queen i see you đ
So he approached you and complimented your outfit
And you said thanks and then ran off to wherever you were heading
Wait
You just said thanks???
No fan girling????
Not even a blush??????
Nothing????????????
OIKAWA.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING
Ok he would understand that reaction if you were just a stranger on the street
But you went to school with him?
So you had to know who he was right?
Yeah my mans had a whole ass crisis because you didn't have a bigger reaction
The next day he went to Iwa and told him about his interaction with you
And he was just like not everyone was to like you ya know
Oikawa: >:o
Then Iwa had a brilliant idea
Get this
Maybe
Oikawa should BEFRIEND you before expecting you to want to talk to him
Wild theory I know
So now Oikawa had a new goal
Befriending you
It actually wasn't that hard since you both had a lot of classes together
Soon enough you guys became close friends
And oikawa was happy with just being your friend
At least...he thought he was
But everything changed when you told him you were going to study abroad for 3 months
And even though you had each others numbers
Everything without you just seemed so dull
Omg
Did he really have feelings for you?
The more time that passed by the more he was sure that he liked you
Like LIKED liked you
So the day you came back to Japan is when he confessed to you
And well you'd be lying if you said you hadn't caught feelings for him too
So you said yes
What they love about you
He loves how normal you treat him
Now hell admit when he first met you he kinda wanted you to treat him like a celebrity
Expected it even
But the more time he spent around you
The more he realized how much he liked being treated normally
Ok screw what your friend says
He loves your humor!
Yall will laugh at the dumbest shit
If we were to look at you and Oikawa's messages
85% of it would be dumb ass memes
And honestly
This boy makes jokes about his trauma too
âHey Y/N you wanna hear a joke?â
âSureâ
âMy existenceâ
â...â
â...â
âAyyyyyâ
âAyyyyyâ
He loves how easy it is to talk to you
Like he's told you things he hasn't even told Iwa before
And Iwa is his CHILDHOOD BESTIE
So yeah
Trust between you two
ASTRONOMICAL
What you love about them
You love how supportive he is
If you say you wanna do something
He is right behind you cheering you on
You could tell him you want to commit arson
And he'd just be like
Period queen ill bring the gasoline đ
You can always count on this man to be in your corner
Speaking of
You can always count on oikawa period
Which is another thing that you love about him
If oikawa is anything
He is a man of his word
If he says hes gonna do something
You know he's gonna do it
He's just overall a really reliable person
You love how he just seems to motivate you to do better
Fr after you guys started dating your grades went
Partly because you felt like you needed to compete with him
But mostly because he just motivates and pushes you to do better
And if you do improve on something
He is HYPING you up
âThat's my baby! I knew you could do it!â
Favorite things to do together
Yall love to just go to the store and window shop
Im sorry but yall are some broke hoes
So most of the time it's just you guys trying on clothes in the dressing room
Taking pictures of your outfits
Then leaving
Yeah the store employees kinda hate youâŚ
But who cares what they think
And if you two do have some pocket cash you'll buy one or two things
Then blow the rest of your money on that good mall food
Cause why not
Random Hc
He makes fun of your guys height difference ALL THE TIME
But like, can you blame him????
You're not even 5 feet tall!!!
âImagine being the size of a 10 year old, couldn't be meâ
Imagine being taller than the national average height đ, couldn't be meâ
âToucheâ
He let you dress him up as an E-Boy ONCE
Ngl tho he dug the eyeliner look đ
He called you every day while you were studying abroad
He even sent you a oikawa plushie
You may or may not have sent him a video of you drowning it
When you came back to Japan he legit TACKLED you in the middle of the airport
Astrology
Virgo + Cancer
Compatibility 80%
Cancer and Virgo can have a wonderful connection and are usually brought together by sexual understanding.
The main problem of their relationship is in the possible conflict between emotional Cancer and reasonable Virgo.
If they manage to overcome this, accepting each otherâs shortcomings and learning to incorporate some rationality or some emotion into their lives, they could end up in an inspiring relationship that will last for a very long time.
In a way, they complement each other as much as the heart complements the mind.
If they share a spark of love, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity for happiness just because of someoneâs irrational expectations or someoneâs closed heart.
If someone can help Virgo build their trust, it is their Cancer partner.
Although Cancer is a cardinal sign, they are stable by nature, especially when it comes to emotional decisions they have made.
If they have chosen Virgo to be their loving partner, they will have no reason to lie or cheat.
This behavior would only endanger their vision of a shared life and a loving family they want with the partner they chose.
This is also a reason why Cancer wonât have an initial problem with trusting Virgo.
Their convictions are stronger than their doubt.
