1, 17, and 37 for the BG3 act 1 asks!

HAIII SORRY I TOOK SO LONG im so bad at this sob emoji.... if anyone wants to ask anything about Zeno - here.... (also please feel free to ask about any of my ocs in general i love oc talk)

(1) Tell us about your Tav! Name, class and subclass, race, pronouns. Do you have a headcanon for where they're from? Their family? Are they a Dark Urge? Or did you choose an Origin Character? Was it an easy decision?

There he is!! His name is Zeno, he's a high elf and a grandpa around 300 years old, a rather infamous thief-for-hire and a menace to rich people lmao He's just a guy, no dark urges or anything.

Grumpy and mostly quiet, Zeno prefers working and just hanging out alone, thinking that if you want to do something, better to do it youself. He's not with any guild currently and doesn't operate in any nation in particular, he just kinda goes wherever money takes him.

I wasn't too much into DnD prior to BG3 and I'm kinda still learning about the setting of Forgotten Realms, but I was thinking that prior to this whole thing, maybe when he was much-much younger, he lived in Baldur's Gate and made money as the leader of merchants guild. He was much kinder and open to people back then, but some kind of personal tragedy struck him, which made him to abandon not only his business, but also leave his entire old life behind. From loving, caring, benevolent elf, over the years he turned into somebody completely different - cold, selfish and unsympathetic. Nowadays he's not the type of person to care much about anything if there's no benefit in it for him, but... who knows, maybe there's at least some light left in his stone-cold heart?..

(17) What does your Character think of Withers?

Zeno always thought he was creepy and at first was strongly against him following the party around, though never really attempted to do anything to him or kick him out. In act 2 he might get used to him more, but the entire act one he's just kind of on the edge. He never really had a walking corpse following him around after all haha

(37) Did your Character find the Necromancy of Thay? How are they handling it / planning to handle it?

I'm going to be honest - I never knew about this entire quest until I finished the game ........... 😭 But I looked a little bit into it, and, well, I just think there was a time in Zeno's life when he dabbled a bit into necromancy. Back when he tried to figure out if he can bring someone back to life, someone very important to him. It was pretty dark period in his life and the one he's not proud of, and perhaps that book might've reminded him of that, so he got rid of it after realizing it (though, maybe, some part of him kind of regrets it). Sorry Gale and Astarion, no dark knowledge for you!!!

[urlocalnonbinarybastardwrites]

Hi! I’d like a fandom ship/matchup type thing if you still do those:) someone from tcm, preferably from the first or second movie since those are the ones I’ve watched

Appearance: 5ft 2inches, chubby genderfluid guy. Short blond hair, blue/gray eyes and freckles and crooked teeth. I’m punk and wear a lot of band tees and stuff like that, I mostly dress masc but can dabble in feminine clothing for fun.

Personality: Id say im a pretty funny guy! I really can’t have a conversation without cracking a joke every other sentence (it is a blessing and a curse). I love being social but definitely need time to recharge after social events. I care a lot about other people and tend to go out of my way to help and comfort people.

Hobbies: I love drawing! I do both digital and traditional art, and I can also paint and sew and crochet. Mostly I draw people, that is my strong suit.

I also love cooking! It’s so much fun but I don’t like following recipes because I disagree with them.

I love horror media. Art, books, movies, you name it. I have an ongoing collection of horror movie dvds.

I listen to a lot of music. I like a lot of different genres, but I especially like punk and metal music. My favorite bands are Ghost, Against Me!, Dog Park Dissidents and Hozier

That’s about it I think. Please don’t feel stressed about doing this, take as much time as you need and also have a nice day:)

♥️♥️♥️ we love people who realize authors have lives beyond completing requests 

Your Texas Chainsaw Massacre ship: Chop-Top Sawyer!!!!

Explanation: starting off of the appearance, I think he would be extremely attracted to you. He loves that you’re shorter than him and I think that he would love your kind of punkish style since he likes anything music related and the fact that you have an alternative music related style just makes you practically his soulmate to him and I feel like he’d think you’re a pretty cool person from the get-go. he loves that you can switch between masculine and feminine and our gender fluid enough to just kind of look good in both and that’s something that he really likes about you and I think he would even start experimenting with more gender fluidness himself I picture him is more kind of a masculine/androgynous but I feel like he would also sometimes go a little feminine just for fun. He really loves your joking, personality and I think it’s part of the reason that he was so attracted to you besides how you look from the get-go as I just think that he was super struck by your humor and probably laughs like insanely loud and laughs for the longest out of everyone. I feel like he’s the type of guy that would continue laughing at a joke like five minutes after it was made. I also feel like he really appreciate your caring stuff because he’s not really used to a lot of people genuinely caring about him. He even feels like his own family doesn’t care about him most the time save for nubbins. Having you is just kind of like a refreshing thing for him and he’s pretty grateful to have you in his life as for socialist I don’t think he cares that much about whether he’s talking to someone or not to be honest I don’t think he’s an introvert or an extrovert. I just think he’s kind of in his own world, but he doesn’t mind that you’re an extrovert and would absolutely, let you recharge after large events, but you have to recharge with him. That’s the only catch. I hope you’re not expecting to get any more alone time because once you’re with this man, he is clingy as shit and you are not going to have any more social recharge unless you literally run away. (In which he will follow 💀) he loves your artistic personality, and I feel like he would annoy you a little bit bit because he’s the type of guy to stand by you while you’re trying to draw create something and be constantly asking you if it’s done yet or just random questions and I feel like you at some point I have to be like OK but I’m doing my art. You have to stand over there and not talk to me. And for the cooking thing, let me just say there’s a reason why Drayton is the cook of the household and no one else he would make the most monstrous and disastrous things in the kitchen and probably end up blowing something up. He’s like a toddler in the kitchen. You have to watch him because he would think it’s a funny idea to just throw water at an outlet or something like that. Just chaos. Absolutely, but I think if you made a meal for him, he’d be super grateful and would definitely eat it in like two seconds because we know this man is a fast eater. He also loves horror stuff for like obvious reasons and would totally watch horror movies with you or read books or whatever kind of horror media you like consuming.

I feel like he would like it too, and you guys can talk about it afterwards, and he would probably point out how certain things are unrealistic because he is like that he would be like “victims don’t actually react that way when you chase them” and things like that. As for music, I think this is again one of the very very very main reasons he would be attracted to you because he is a huge music guy. I don’t think he really likes Poppy stuff as much and I think he would find your alternative taste to be just amazing because he has kind of an alternative and wacky taste of music as well well, it’s not as much I’m sure would love if you introduced him and you guys could share tastes and I feel like you would be a little cute date to go on. I’m just listening to music talking and also I feel like he would ask for fashion advice like 24 seven from you and want to try some of your punk clothing out.

[growling]

Not even at the Top Three reasons I've mainly left the wc fandom and instead just do my own thing on my own tag, but incredibly frustrating nonetheless. How wc tumblr just treats people making their own fix-it aus for fun.

I don't know how it is for other fandoms, but the amount of people making their own rewrites of the wc series is.... massive. Basically every single guy in here if free to have a go at it if they want, and nobody cares, it's basically everybody here that makes up their own version of canon because the actual books are widely agreed upon to, well... *gestures at the misogyny, ableism, racism ex. the tribe, casual fatphobia, iffy at best portrayal of abuse, terrible and lazy writing in general* kinda suck.

it is kinda considered Normal in here, since it's so common, and as result, people just got... Really entitled? dare i say downright unhinged about other people's silly AUs?

One aspect that I feel is the most prevalent in this, that literally nobody talks about because of course, is the absolute condemn of anything realistic or "uncool". I remember there was that one post floating around a few months (years?) back, that basically said "[quoting. im lazy] I think the main problem with warriors rewrites is they get so bogged down in ‘trying to make sense’ or ‘make them act like actual cats’ is they forget to make things COOL AS SHIT. Like yes your bloodclan has 200 pages of foreshadowing but is it still COOL AS SHIT? (...) If your warrior cats rewrite wouldn’t result in 200 scourge animations of him being cool as shit if it was the canon material you have failed." and just for clarification I do not have anything against the person that posted it, I do not think they were being intentionally rude in any way. But. Both before it there was a problem, and after it got passed around enough I think people got the Wrong Idea. Or maybe the Right One idk man, and just found a way to describe how they felt about some of the rewrite projects going on.

The fandom is largely ranging from dismissing to outright hostile towards people making aus/rewrites/other fics where the Clans are more realistic or have more rigid naming rules, for example, ones where the cats act more like cats, many events don't really get to happen or are changed due to just not working in a more realistic universe, traditional and similiar naming systems, accurate genetics, so on so on. And I do admit there was once a problem where those people who prefer more realistic styles, especially the traditional namers, were pushing it onto others and acting really mean towards people just looking to have fun and not really pay attention to any naming rules; however, it was a long time ago, and has mostly died down. Nowadays, all the trad namers I know of are actually pretty chill, and there's very few of them. (Like, we are dying over there lmao the numbers are going down every year)

However, the fandom just, really has not moved on from those times (and I'm asking, was that really that prevalent back then? or are these people just exaggerating as always?) and continues to be just.... really bitter of tradnamers. Constantly convinced that they are "ruining their fun" just by having their own spaces somewhere. One blog of the more traditional kind that I followed got sent an ask somewhere along the lines of "oh yeah sure your fanfic is 'realistic', but would it have people make sick amvs about it in the 2010s???" and I just. Knew where they got the idea. Not even exclusive to just in traditional system, but people tend to get very weird towards people that choose to change up parts of cats' names they don't like or find unsuited for their au? for example, changing Longtail's name to Lizardtail because it's odd for a queen to just name their son longkit, or Runningwind to something different all together because they find the prefix "Running-" really silly to name a baby or because the suffix "-wind" is already the name of another Clan in canon, or changing the names of some other cats just because they don't suit them or the circumstances behind them are iffy to them. (I personally find it pretty fun, and has renamed a considerable deal of cats in my own: ex. Jayfeather -> Jaywing, Longtail -> Lizardtail, Loudbelly -> Minkbelly, Clawface -> Clawedface, Hollyleaf -> Hollythorn)

Apparently, it's "boring", or ruining other people's fun somehow despite them not needing to read them? Lyrical namers (opposite of traditional, if anybody needs an explanation: tradnaming assigns hard defined rules to the names that clan cats can have, while lyrnaming does not have any rules and is about just naming them whatever you like if you think it is cool or sounds pretty) act like they're constantly being persecuted en masse by the Mean Traditionalists that brutally force them to conform, while.... the lyrnamers are actually the overall majority, while tradnamers are now pretty uncommon and usually literally just mind their own business. It's "let people have fun" but only for the things that you personally find fun, don't even dare to like to have rules or any of these things, it's not like any people in particular actually find creating their own suffix meaning systems personally fun or anything, they just want to name the cats ugly/boring shit because they're killjoys. Yeagh

Same with people changing cats' designs to be more realistic simply because they prefer it that way, who then get vagueposted about and called "uncreative". A very small percent of artists actually know real life cat genetics, and none of them, at this current time (people were very different say, like, 10+ years ago in the fandom. things tend to change) i have ever heard of apparently forcing anybody upon these things.

Not every silly warrior cats au of some random 16 year old with like 12 followers needs to be Cool to your near impossible standards. "Let people have fun" means also letting people have fun that you personally don't understand or don't find fun personally. I get so anxious whenever I force myself to word anything and then end up forgetting half of it in the middle of it so if I didn't include something or if a sentence looks weird then that may be why. But basically, what I'm saying is: can't we just hold paws and sing masterpiece theatre iii by marianas trench for fucks sakeee can we calm the fuck down

hey liv sorry in advance i am nosy

🍓🐇🧃🪐🍬🦷🦋🦴🪲

dont be sorry! i enjoy nosy uwu

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?

hmm

i was 12. my favorite tv show at the time was this old disney cartoon, "super robot monkey team hyper force go" (abbreviated as SRMTHFG or SRMTHG. i prefer the first but plenty of people use the second.) it was canceled after its 4th season and, uh. the ending was SO bad. like, major major cliffhanger.

anyway, i was looking up... i don't even remember at the time. and i discovered deviantart, and i discovered this person's OCs. read a lot about them, including some fanfic, and then eventually discovered fanfiction.net

i didn't realize what it was at first; i thought it was just a writing in general site? and i was like oh! i can share the book i'm working on! (i have been trying to write a novel since i was 10). and then as i was looking into where i would post it, i realized what it actually was. (no, the title didn't give it away. idk why.)

so then i was like oh!!! this is really cool actually!!! and i wrote my first fanfic xD

that was in 2011? so i was 12, almost 13.

and i've been reading & writing fic ever since~

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both?

okay so this is a tough question

bc like

i love love love love love second person.

like.

*adore* it.

second person, present tense is my absolute fave, but past tense is good too. (i have written an entire sapphic little mermaid retelling [12k words i think] in second person. uh, it needs revisions but it's a full draft. i opened it it the other day and im still so proud of it uwu)

howEVER. outside of writing second person w/o ever explicitly naming the pov character i have not actually written a reader-insert? so for that reason alone i will have to say 'prefer writing oc's'

🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before

uhh

hm

i'm a chronic oversharer (mostly in the tags) so that's kind of tough!

ah! since my grandmother's memory issues started, i've been doing about half of the cooking (it's been a bit of a battle, as she keeps trying to do everything xD) and i've cooked a lot of new things this year!! i've gotten very good at cooking pork chops. which 🤔 now that i bring that up, i might make friday! or tonight, but they're still in the freezer, so...

🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now

my grandmother's memory situation has improved a lot!! it's still not great, but like. strides ahead of where we were 7-8 months ago!

my anxiety has been much kinder to me this year <3 i've made some very lovely friends this year~

mmm, oH, my energy levels have been fantastic this year. i didn't realize just how bad they had gotten until i started these new meds, and now i'm just. <333 much better.

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

hm

idk if i have any unpopular opinions...? i mean. i'm sure i must, but... nothing immediately comes to mind ^^;

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

hmmm

recently been trying to get in the habit of summarizing what i want to do before i start writing. it makes the process much easier, if ik a bit about what i want to do before going in?

🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately

i am much better at being patient than i ever gave myself credit for in the past <3

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?

i can't think of one piece in particular, as the places i find inspiration are. all over the board?

🪲 ⇢ add 50 words to your current wip and share the paragraph here

picked a wip from my open tabs at random! funnily enough this is also the one i ended up doing for the emoji ask xD

it's also almost triple what this asked for but once i started writing i couldn't stop <3

He swallows, staring up at Tim. Jason has had plenty of practice reading people through a domino, but. He has no reference for the look Tim is giving him now. Only that it— That the feeling it gives him is… is new and strange. He has no name for it, the way his stomach feels fluttery and tight, his scalp and fingers tingling. His mouth opens—but all that escapes is a stuttery puff of air. That’s okay. He doesn’t know what he was going to say anyway. Tim hooks a gloved finger under his chin; tipping his face up. He leans in, slowly—so slow that Jason— There’s nothing keeping him there. He could run. Turn away. But he feels caught, feet anchored in place. Tim’s mouth touches his, and all thought leaves him. Jason has never been kissed before.

heyy all ♥ name's lola, here presenting the misunderstood character prompt, moon jaewon; who looks like a badboy, walks like a badboy but is a soft-hearted individual in reality. under the cut i've provided information about him in a bullet point list. if you'd like to interact, i'm available through both IMs and discord, latter which i strongly prefer, but i don't mind either platforms at the end of the day. thank you for your time! ♥

9th february 1999, born and raised in seoul

father teacher at an elementary school, mother working at a supermarket only fair to say that jaewon has lived an average life, sitting on the lower scale of the middle class. has a sister younger than him by few years. always was the type who was drawing; there's so many childhood drawings back at their home done by him alone that one could probably make a whole new house out of it. however, he played football mostly, since kindergarten all throughout the start of high-school, due to his parents' wish. decided to quit at the start of high-school, under the excuse that he wants to focus on studies.

in reality, he's spent his free time returning to his true passion... which quickly spirals into him drawing all the time, filling one too many sketchbooks all too fast; studies of value, anatomy, charcoal, graphite, cheap (dry) pastels. he develops a liking for a flowy touch of charcoal, alike breathy strokes of ink, quickly gaining a personal style. it's all done through naver and whichever book he can dig up from the local library, though, because his parents aren't really supportive of him following the path of an artist. after all, they are all struggling to put bread on the table and they don't want their son to be like that too.

semi-decently liked in high school, hits puberty early and has that boy crush vibes to him; with him being generally nice to everyone there are a few dates here and there but nothing serious ever happens. he had a lot of acquaintances and a few good friends though.

during this time, alongside a somewhat unlimited access to the internet and its wonders while his parents work, he finds a liking to tattoos in a way that's more complex than saying oh that looks pretty on their skin. he starts copying work done on skin of western celebrities at first, then starts coming up with his own design. gets stick and poke material from a friend of a friend of a friend and starts doing stuff on his legs mostly, thankfully most of which is now covered up

in a way, his parents have been right. his hyper-focus on it, mixed with the rebellious "i'll do what i want to do with my life" phase leads jaewon into not really studying when he's meant to be studying, so throughout high-school, his grades tank a lot. unfortunately, it's not enough to be hardworking re: drawing and talented to enter university and in spite of the evident talent, jaewon fails to enroll.

his parents aren't happy with it obviously soo he almost goes for his mandatory service right away instead, but in that same rebellious manner he says no (for now) and spends next two years... working night shifts at one of those 24-hour convenience shops while also doing an apprenticeship, attending conventions, pestering and listening to whoever wants to speak to him of the work. safe to assume he did in fact look like a zombie 18-20 and he's been barely-contact with his parents during that time

dedication, time, skill, tears, suffering have him landing a job in seoul straight out of apprenticeship, at a rather smaller place where he spends a little over a year, still looking up to his seniors; though he doesn't stay there long.

a friend of a friend (plot!?) recommends him barracuda, even if it's a city away. it's better in every way, with it being at a mall rather than some side alleyway on outskirts of seoul's city centre, and apparently the pay is better. he travels to daegu to check it out, carrying his portfolio, and it's like both ends have hit a jackpot at that moment. it's also a change of environment that he thinks would suit him well mentally so...

he becomes a full time artist @ the place. really enjoys his work and the shop, earning himself a respected name in the span of next two years (and ongoing) that he's there. (if my timeline is wrong ignore that)

gone complete no-contact with his parents due to all of this (distance also helps) but his sister thinks he's cool and that's all that matters to him in the end. tends to sleep over inside barracuda often after staying in late, which doesn't bother him much in the end because he lives in a really small studio apt anyway

his work can be seen on ig (@bbiwon) as it stands as a online-portfolio (sketches, flashes, healed tats; persona is anonymous). without going into detail describing his style, i will simply say that his work is similar to work of moku (a forewarning that he tattoos butterflies in case anyone is icked by them); with that flowy, almost freehand looking strokes. i envision his "signature tattoo" being variations on koi fishes, done in that same 'brushy' stroke/airy style. one day when i'm not lazy i'll draw an example of this

personality wise, jaewon is very soft spoken and thoughtful of others, the type that is comforting even if he doesn't say anything. calm, scarcely angry (but really spiteful and grudge holding if you manage to piss him off), the type who starts conversation about anything and everything without being embarrassed about it. carefree to an extent, holding the belief that everything will work out well in the end; though often prone to making spur of the moment decisions in his personal life. compassionate, casual & easy-going, sociable, very much caring even in moments when he should be putting himself first. the type to notice if someone isn't talking in a group of people and try to involve them. tries and isnt opposed to small talk during sessions but also reads people easily and their comfort levels

some other tidbits: — plays league of legends, maintaining a masters rank for past several seasons — the type to have "loves long walks on the beach/by the river/lake and watching sunset" on tinder but still can't make it past the second date (he actually doesn't know what he wants out of a relationship) — likes to drink, friends know how physically affectionate he actually gets when drunk — vapes... strawberry flavour... i'm sorry — dresses baggy, streetwear, comfortable — his first personal instagram kind of blew up which made him uncomfortable, so he deleted that one and made a new one. now, it is actually private and really small selection of people — trying really hard to learn how to play the guitar but also not really successful at it. will play it however to everyone's misfortune — drives a motorcycle, skateboards — lover of alt music, fan of cigarettes after sex and collects their vinyl releases despite not owning a turntable — his hair is crying but he keeps bleaching it — carries his ipad with him 24/7, always sketching something in free time — aquarius sun scorpio moon scorpio rising but you see idk what any of it means — mitski - i bet on losing dogs.mp3

if i ever think of anything more re: him (and i'm always thinking about him i love my #NotEmo boy) 'll be adding it!

i prefer brainstorming for plotting, or taking up other people's wanted plots as my brain is pea sized, but some ideas i have are: a failed tinder date who happens to actually work at the same mall , store right next to barracuda and it's kinda awkward seeing you every day or alternatively lets try again; someone who's a fan of his work; someone who he helped with a hangover after one of those forbidden parties at the mall; somehow every saturday you bump into one another when he's skating next to the geumho river and omg again? third time you're paying for a drink; mysterious person he's in a high-score war with at xpixel; coworkers; someone who thinks he's bad influence bc of his work & appearance... etcetera

[lovings4turn]

BUMBLEBEE!! This event looks so cool! Could I pretty please ask for a 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐈𝐍 ship for the Marauders era, no gender preference?

Some info about me:

So, my name is Dolly (you knew that), and I’m a panromantic asexual person. My gender is… weird (😂), because really I think gender is an odd social construct and I don’t really care what people refer to me as. I’m also autistic, and some of my special interests include musical theatre, books, true crime, superheroes, and mythology of all different kinds and cultures. I don’t get the opportunity to talk about my special interests a lot, but once I do, you’ll have a hard time getting me to stop talking.

As for hobbies, I spend most of my time either reading or writing fanfiction (and sometimes original short stories), listening to music, and watching movies or TV shows. I mostly like all kinds of music, but I’m not really the biggest fan of rap. I’m also really into true crime podcasts, and I have a love for older TV shows, such as M*A*S*H and The A-Team, as well as all the Marvel and DC movies and TV shows. I’m also a pretty decent singer, at least depending on who you ask. I really love books, and my ultimate career goal is to be a librarian (although if you asked me my absolute dream job, the answer would be a voice actor).

Personality-wise, I kind of cycle between being bubbly and cheerful and quieter and shyer (a textbook ambivert, me), but no matter what, I always do my best to be a good listener and to make my friends (which includes you now!!) happy, because I am very loyal and I love them a lot.

Alright, hopefully this wasn’t too much (😅). Thanks in advance for the ship, and I hope you’re doing well, my love!! ✨🧚‍♂️💞

dolly !!! thank you so much ohmygosh — of course you can! hope you're doing great ,, sending so much love and im so lucky to call you a friend!! 🖤

i'd have to ship you with . . . 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧

+ right off the bat, i think that marlene would be absolutely enamoured by you! she more than agrees with gender being an odd social construct, and is always asking you about your special interests, not just because she loves seeing you happy, but also because she's genuinely interested by what you're saying. she makes little mental notes of a few things you tell her that she can use in conversation later.

+ marlene especially loves hearing all about mythology. she's hooked onto your every word as you explain certain myths from a range of different cultures, and also insanely impressed that you manage to have so much interesting knowledge to hand. absolute heart eyes whenever you're telling her about your interests, and she'd happily sit there and listen to you for days on end if you asked her to.

+ your dynamic is definitely giving grumpy gf x sunshine s/o, but marlene is always a ball of sunshine around you, it's crazy. you manage to bring something out in her that no one else can - though she appears incredibly intimidating and outspoken to other people, she practically melts whenever you come around, and everyone loves teasing her about it

+ marlene always wants to hear about what you're currently reading or writing, and if you allow her to read your writing? she's praising you to no end, peppering kisses all over your face and telling you how impossibly talented you are. she also loves how diverse your music taste can be, and so loves showing you all of her favourite songs and bands to see which ones you also like.

+ when she finds out you can sing? she loses her absolute mind. stands and stares at you with her jaw fully dropped - she's somehow managed to fall even harder for you, something which she didn't even think was possible. even though you insist you're only decent, marlene won't hear any of it, and insist your voice is beautiful. it never fails to calm her down when she needs it, like after a stressful quidditch match or an argument with one of the slytherins.

+ another thing marlene admires about you is your loyalty and dedication to your friends - it's one of the first things she noticed about you, actually! it was only when she realised that it was a little too easy for you to make her happy that she started suspecting some... deeper feelings were involved.

[notebookmusical]

Hi! How are you? I have a Chihuahua and his name is Tony but mostly I just call him toey without the n. I hate finding bruises later..it freaks me out more even if it doesn't even hurt. When and why are you going to Boston? It seems fun!

Haha I don't blame you. I liked them but wasn't obsessed anymore by the time I went to see them. Like I never loved them the way I love Taylor really..but I think cuz I wasn't as obsessed during 1989 either was maybe why my mom thought I would prefer to see them. That was actually I think my first big concert in a stadium show besides Kelly Clarkson. I don't really listen to their music anymore really but I still like them individually I guess but I wasn't like a crazy fan girl or anything. I was also obsessed with showtunes at the time and twenty one pilots and some heavier bands lol. That was the kind of concerts we went to actually. My music taste is all over the place.

Well I honestly can't remember most of the songs from Jekyll or Bloody Bloody anyway but it is mostly just like campy. I would love to see Little Shop or Rocky live..they were doing a showing in early October but I missed it. I thought it would be closer to Halloween. Something Rotten is so fun..I vividly remember watching the Tonys performance and laughing like..what the heck is that? I was intrigued..I also think Shakespeare is so funny. Then Fun Home was a really good one too..it left a strong impression and showed me the serious side of musicals. Finding Neverland is not fun haha..I remember crying at the end of the show. Gentleman's Guide is a fun show and I remember the Tony performance too. I guess I do kinda like silly musicals too if they're done well but I think I'm more into the serious ones or maybe something in between. Sondheim is a great example of that but he does have humor in his shows too. Sweeney is my favorite Sondheim show and then probably Sunday or into the Woods I guess. I do like Company too but I'm not as familiar with the full show and it's more about loving the songs for me. I also feel that way about Sunday but Company and Sunday both have a stronger message in the shows..with the ending songs Being Alive and Moving On. I'm hoping to see it too and I'm very interested to see how I feel about the gender swap.

Oh cool! Beautiful World is also on my list..im pretty sure I read some of it before but that was a year or two ago lol. I enjoyed Normal People but didn't really care for Conversations with Friends as much. I also never even finished the show of Normal People either, but I want to..I know a lot of people really like it. I struggled with some of her writing and no quotations too. I actually read some of the Night Circus the other day and was surprised by how engaging it was. I thought I would have a problem and it would be hard to read 3rd person or cuz it was old fashioned but it wasn't at all! I think it was set up really well and hooked me in right away. I hope I can keep up with the timeline and it doesn't become confusing with more characters. Sometimes I make guesses or predictions on things when I read but then I end up flipping thru it instead. This happened cuz I was trying to figure out how many parts there were or how long chapters are and why the book is split up like that but I guess I will see. I did a similar thing with Tomorrow x3 and ended up seeing a spoiler..lol. so I hope that doesn't happen with this. I read all of the backstory so far or when they were children. Ooh that fancast could be interesting I think but sometimes it doesn't work in your head as much as you want, and can be pretty hard to come up with too. It's just that sometimes when I'm reading a book and I know what the author looks like, I end up picturing the author as the character instead lol. This has happened with Emily Henry for example but most times I don't even know what they look like anyway..but since this is less modern, I thought it might help. A fun thing was that I had the book next to a cover of the Blurryface album by twenty one pilots and it was the same exact colors..black, white and red, and looked extremely similar, next to each other which made me smile.

That's also why I thought reading TBOSS might help now with the movie coming out cuz there is already a cast. I figured out that if I read 2 chapters a day, I could be done in like 15 days just in time for the movie so I might be focused on that for now. I actually think the movie might be better than the book anyway though but I think it's okay so far. I understand wanting to finish the Hunger Games first though. I loved the Olivia song. It was pretty different for her or at least pretty different from Guts, so I was surprised in a good way. Her voice is pretty powerful and it totally fits the tone of the movie. It made me wonder if it was easier or harder for her to write lyrics based on something or not..or if she has a personal connection to the lyrics as well, since there is always a part of songwriters in their lyrics like authors having parts of themselves in their characters in books. Omg wait..how do you have mutual friends with her? That's so cool..I'd love to hang out with her! The first time I heard her voice was singing Shallow but it's cool she loves Broadway and also Taylor too. Maybe that's why I think we would get along. I would recommend the West Side movie and I appreciate it being updated but I just preferred the original a lot more. That's just me though and I have watched the original so many times. I think a lot of people actually do prefer the new one more which is interesting but I guess it also makes sense. I think its pretty funny her and her bf were in West Side and now this movie..she is truly living the dream haha.

Pick whichever url makes you happy I'll still be able to find you :) or you can ask my opinion if you want. I've never changed my url but I changed blogs before..or made new ones and I've been here since 2010 lol. I think the vault does sound like Midnights a little but I think.its just a similar sound that probably inspired the sound of the album in the first place. Like people think Suburban Legends sounds exactly like Mastermind but I don't actually hear that. That specific lyric made me think of Midnights but my point was she has always had songs or a similar idea like it since her first album..so I don't get when people say she didn't write it in that era or whatever. I still think some of the vault still had an 80s sound to it though and someone pointed out Say Don't Go kinda sounds like her can't stop loving you cover and I sort of agree with that. I love that theme too and a fun fact about me is I've never seen the movie sliding doors but I actually think I will watch it soon. Oh that sucks! I hope you can get tickets closer to you..and everything works out.

I've never heard of these before but thanks for telling me! I will check them out and I hope I'm pretty good at them. I am familiar with a lot of stuff even if it's a movie or show I haven't seen so I'll tell you if it's easy or hard.

What did your mom think of the show? Oh that's such a bummer that the show had technical problems. Your seats looked pretty good though and I'm glad you were able to enjoy it anyway. I think I prefer the act one so it was maybe less noticeable for me but I see what you mean. I mostly agree with you about Wait For Me as the closer and Why We Build the Wall isn't as dramatic for the act one finale. Wait For Me was definitely one of the best parts of the show for me but what about you? Is there different things you noticed since you have seen it before?

My weekend was good! I actually went to a casino which was kinda fun. I played a Little Shop and Wonka machine and was able actually to win some money on them but not for long or as much as I hoped. Thank you for the hug and well wishes! I will probably need it as I will feel stressed and busy for the next month though so I might not be able to reply as often. I hope you feel relaxed and rested this week before your trip!

hi friend!

that's so so cute — i call toto a bunch of things too; totoroto, bobo, totes, among others, and he's learned to respond to all of them 🥺 i'm definitely soaking all the toto cuddles i can before my trip (he's sleeping on my lap as i reply to you); it's a very short trip, but :( i leave for boston sooooooon! i'm just visiting a friend for the long weekend, and we have some fun things planned!!

i've never liked an artist the way i like taylor and i don't think i ever will find someone else like that — growing up alongside her music is something very very special that i will never get to replicate, because her music has really soundtracked so much of my life! before this year i didn't really go to concerts (i'd go to like the occasional theatre one if there happened to be one near me but not like a concert concert), and so i feel like i'm making up for lost time haha. i think by the end of this year i'll have gone to like ten concerts and two music festivals? which is kind of crazy when i think about it that way! what's your favorite concert you've ever been to?

something rotten is very fun! have you also listened to & juliet? some of my friends are obsessed with it! i'm hoping that they'll do a national tour and come to seattle at some point so i can see it; i don't foresee myself going to new york anytime soon :( but things could always change! have you ever listened to eleri ward's indie folk sondheim covers? her voice is beautiful!

my rooney ranking is normal people > beautiful world > convo with friends! but i might actually change my mind and bring CWF with me, i haven't quite decided yet. i loveeeed the normal people show, it's one of the few adaptations that i think does the source material justice! and i think paul and daisy have not just wonderful chemistry, but also an amazing understanding of the characters.

i'm really glad you've been liking night circus! i have not been reading it much; i've just been very busy but hopefully will get on it once i'm back from boston! i did start reading cleopatra and frankenstein while i was at the doctor's office this week, and i found the first two chapters to be really funny. i'm not sure if it's actually funny or if it's a "i'm not supposed to laugh here so i'm trying to be quiet and so everything is funnier and i cannot stop laughing" situation, but i'm hoping to finish it tonight (very unlikely; i have a ton of stuff i need to do before boston) because otherwise i will probably never pick it up again. i always do this; i get super into a book a few days before i have to leave and i don't finish it and by the time i'm back from my trip i'm no longer interested (did the same thing in may, and again in january). if you have an idea for a night circus cast, let me know! i'm definitely interested to hear what your choices are :) i hope you continue liking it!

i really, really loved olivia's song — i keep thinking about how hauntingly beautiful it is! i thought about getting the 7" of it, but i rarely spin 7" vinyls, and i think i should save my money for other vinyls ... but i'm still thinking about it haha. i do! i have some friends in the theatre scene :)

i change my url so often! i'm always worried you won't be able to find me but i do try to do a redirect etc so people can always find me 🤍 i probably won't do anything until i'm back from boston, and then maybe by then i'll want to do something else anyways! what are your thoughts on the vault tracks now that it's been a few weeks? i think my rankings have shifted — i definitely like now that we don't talk, slut and is it over now? more than i did before! speaking of, eras tour is back today!!!! one of my dear friends is going to eras tonight and i'm so so excited for her 🥺

let me know how those games go for you! i didn't do murdle yesterday because i got busy and forgot and now i'm like "i'll just start it up again once i'm back from boston" because my streak will be broken anyways. would not recommend doing murdle on your phone!! it's much much easier (better user interface) on a computer.

my mom had fun! she said it reminded her of come from away and jasper in deadland — i understand the jasper connection, because it's also based off of the orpheus eurydice myth but i'm not sure how she got come from away from that haha. wait for me is probably in my top 3 hadestown moments! i remember my friend gripping my hand out of shock and excitement when we first saw hadestown (first preview on broadway!). i think of that moment + her every time i listen to wait for me!

i hope next month is okay! sending you lots of love! remember to take care of yourself <3333

[you-can-be-what-you-want-to-be]

{{ Fun ask meme you made: Everything with a 4 in it! (4, 14, 24, 34, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45.)

oh that’s a very fun way to do it! I already did 40 but I’ll give you the rest. Thank you for giving me so many!

4: if you had to loose one of your senses or physical abilities, which one and why?

im a chatter box but I’d loose the ability to speak. It’s kind of selfish but speaking is one of the only abilities that’s primarily for everyone else’s experience of the world. I mean you can’t talk and share ideas as easy and some of the puns and stuff you do get limited but you still get sunsets and art museums and books and musicals and cat purrs and all that. I still get things, I just can’t give anymore.

14: preferred form of travel i know tumblr doesn’t like them but car for SURE. Used to have ten hours in it every weekend visiting my dad and like. You can sing. You can have arguments with yourself and imagined people. Go noom. Pretty sights. And I’ve had the best conversations I’ve ever had in the car, because what else are you going to do? If there are two people in a confined space and one of them can’t look at anything you can only talk and I love that it’s a wonderful feeling. And falling asleep in the back of a car while people you care about talk in the front? Being able to leave home at any time? Getting sonic at 11pm? Ough it’s so good. I get home and spend an hour in a non moving car love being in a car I am no better than a dog.

24: what is a food or experience you miss from being a child? This does not mean things like paying bills, and is more about the time period you are from.

1 burning cds

2 a lack of cool people on tv. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Napoleon Dynamite but yeah things like that. Like there is no one cool in invader zim.

3 toxic waste (candy.) I haven’t seen one in ages

4 PEANUT BUTTER TWIX.

34: name a way someone has helped you before

car got stuck on this pile gravel. It had been snowing, next to a busy highway, thirty minutes by car away from any town, and it jammed up all the way up like into the entire bottom, not just the tires. Spent like an hour by hand trying to dig the stuff out with bare hands. Some guy with a truck hooked me up and pulled my car off. I’ll never forget it

41: what’s a hobby you want to get into? Disregard whatever skills money or tools you would need, listen to your heart

I want to learn how to make music and video essays. Both of those cost money and your own private area (instrument, mic, and a place you don’t disturb people with sound). Also animation I’m a very bad artist and don’t get technology so it’s a pretty hard no but I’d love to do it someday

42: what’s an experience you’ve wanted to do or have for awhile but not been able to justify to yourself?

I want to see hadestown on broadway. Or anything on broadway really but hadestown is the dream personally

43: a part of yourself you are fond of?

I like that soft spot between your lower ribs and thumb nails

44: favorite supernatural being

I’ve always been fond of ghost, because they’re the only one just about that gets to be sad or helpful instead of just scary. The idea that you felt something so strong it outlasted your body…. Yeah that’s what emotions feel like. That’s why you can be haunted by things that aren’t there, like war or an old friendship. It’s just emotions out of place that followed you.

Sad ghosts, lost ghost stuck in a loop, ghosts that save people from similar situations as their own, ghosts that come back to love their loved ones, ghosts who taunt the person who killed them and haunt them in the literal and metaphorical sense. Idk man. Just ghosts. They’re so important to me.

45: favorite fantasy being

Fae but only the fucked up kind who like find people fascinating but mostly as entertainment and make them dance till their feet fall off or see how long it takes them to loose a deal. Idk they’re just fun.

thank you so much this was mega fun to talk about

Check out @simplypotz beautiful rendition of the Genshin Volleyball Team (I’m still not over it btw)

#1 Zhongli (Captain/Wing Spiker/Ace)

Zhongli is that quiet class president who does things by the book. 

The type where his report card comments would read “Able to strike a good balance between academics and school activities”

Overall a good role model, though he comes off as standoffish most of the time because of his detached personality. In reality he’s just really concentrated on the things he needs to do.

You’re in the same class as him. You just didn’t interact much, mostly because you also thought he was pretty standoffish. He didn’t speak, only when spoken to.

There was one day you caught him just standing at the canteen, you separated from your friends because you wanted to buy a drink.

He stood there, looked at the menu, patted his pockets and realized he didn’t have any Mora money. He must have forgotten his wallet at home.

It was amusing to you, seeing him just stand there because he was usually always put together and knew what he needed to do. 

You came up to him and said “...I can lend you some money?” He was surprised to say the least. He knew your name though and it was your turn to be surprised. You didn’t think he paid attention to his classmates.

A week after, you found him in almost exactly the same predicament. Except this time he didn’t have ENOUGH money to buy his meal. You butt in once again and gave him the remaining amount he was missing.

He would always pay you afterwards but it had gotten you kind of concerned. “Zhongli are you...I mean, if you have trouble with money I can help you with lunch from time to time,” You deadass thought this guy was POOR. 

That was the first time you saw him laugh. He reassured you that he was fine, just that he doesn’t really have a good concept of how much things would cost and end up not bringing enough to school. 

For one reason or another you end up spending lunch with him quite often, probably three times a week. It just happened, you always tell yourself its because you’re worried the guy wouldn’t eat but your friends start to tease you about it. 

“Oh see, here he comes,” one of your friends start to giggle but grab your other friend to run away just as Zhongli walks up to you, and quizzically looks at your two friends running away. You only sigh and shrug and join Zhongli for lunch.

This was in your first year.

By the last year of high school everyone thought the two of you were dating but you were just really close to each other. Still, there was a little bit of difference in the way he treated you versus back then. 

He never forgot his wallet anymore, in fact he started to be the one to buy you lunches and he knew exactly which lunch sets you liked and which drinks you preferred. 

You spent a lot of time together, mostly doing homework and research in the library. It’s also standard for you to go to his volleyball games if he had any. For him, he always secretly looked around to see if you were there. 

Eventually one of his team members (He swears it’s Tartaglia or Kaeya) asks if you’re single and Zhongli ends up snapping at them. (The two were just playing around, they know that their captain likes you, he just needed a little more push)

It was probably there that he realized that he’s unwilling to give you away to someone else. 

The next day he’s mustered up the courage to tell you that he wants to start dating you properly. 

And that eventually leads to him introducing you to the team.

#2 Diluc (Vice Captain/Wing Spiker/Defense Specialist)

As a first year Diluc kept to himself. Kind of like you. You had a select few friends here and there, but you were mostly known as the “nerd” of the class. Real diligent and hardworking. 

Diluc is a handsome lil thing, so a lot of people considered him eye candy. He was really hard to talk to though. His gazes were sharp and he always seemed to have a frown on his face.

Despite you being the most boring girl in class (or so you thought) Diluc actually had a kind of secret admiration for you. He’s seen your notes one time, you left your notebook open on your table. It was neat and tidy and so easy to read. 

Anyhow, when the exam came round there was a particular thing that Diluc could not understand. Some type of math formula. Now, he was usually good in his studies and he hated asking people for help, but while everyone else went home as soon as the bell rang, he sometimes had the habit of staying for a while and looking over his homework. And the only other person left in the room would be you and him.

So, he decided there was no harm in asking you when it was just the two of you in the classroom. “Hey...Y/N...?” You’re so shocked that he comes up to you with his worksheet and a sort of unsure look on his face. “Do you think you could explain this one to me...?” 

Sure your other classmates asked you ALL kinds of questions about studying and things they didn’t understand but Diluc asking you was another level.

“Oh, um... sure. Here...” You ask him to sit on the chair in front of you and end up doing homework together. The sky is already orange when the two of you finish and he decides he should walk you home, to which you resist at. “It’s totally fine, my house is just nearby, and its not really dark at all!” 

You seemed insistent, so he lets it go and the two of you go your separate ways.

The next few days Diluc actively seeks you out if there’s something he doesn’t quite understand (mind you it’s not that often, possibly once a week) but he does it during recess now and your friends take note that you are possibly one of the only girls he talks to in class. 

Nothing really happens. It’s just a casual “I’ll look for you if I have any questions” type of relationship. 

It was in your second year that you interacted with him again. There was a Science project due soon and you went to your local library. The one in school wasn’t very sufficient so you had to look for your own reference materials. 

You possibly lost track of time and when you picked your head up to look outside, the sky was bordering on an orange-to-dark blue hue, indicating that it was later than you thought. 

As you were about to pack up you hear someone walk over to you, and you look up to see that it was Diluc. That was the first time you saw him in casual wear. 

You find out that you both were there to do a bit of research and that his house is just a walk away, just as yours was. He glances outside and at the sky “...I’ll walk you,” before you could protest he adds “My house is on the way anyway,” 

You couldn’t find a reason to refuse and the two of you end up walking while talking to each other a little. It’s kinda awkward, in a way that silence between two people who just met were awkward but in a sense there was a bit of nervousness there too, and you had no idea why. 

Gradually it seems as if the two of you find yourself in situations that bring you two together: being lab partners, getting paired up for reports. But these were by chance, the teacher arranged you two together.

So when there was an assignment that required pairwork and when the teacher said “You can choose your partner,” you only had to look up and see that Diluc was turned around to look straight at you. You’re not sure what compels you to nod your head but you do start to wonder if he’s only using you for your brains.

It’s a bit of a slow build up but while working on the assignment together you just randomly blurt it out “You must have chosen me cause I’m good at reports right?” You thought nothing of it, just said it with a laugh. 

Imagine your surprise when he confidently says “No, I chose you because I like you,” and he was staring straight at you, with a blank, unreadable look on his face. 

You’re probably blushing and you’re not sure what to say but you want to confirm “L-Like me? As in... Like, like?”

He’s confused. What’s the difference between “like” and “like like” he asks. 

By this point you’re flustered. “Like as in friendship like or more than friends?”

It dawns on Diluc then and his face breaks into realization, he’s also starting to turn pink around the cheeks but he doesn’t answer immediately. “...I guess, a little more than a friend? Maybe?”

And that’s how your awkward little romance started. Filled with subtle glances and quick smiles. The simple walks home and the huge amounts of courage that it takes just to hold your hand. He was a naturally secretive person, so your classmates didn’t suspect a thing, but you liked it that way as well. It was like the two of you in your own little world. 

#3 Kaeya (Middle Blocker)

Nothing about this guy is subtle at all.

You’re not even from the same class so sometimes you do wonder how it ended up this way.

It was during one of the volleyball games. You and your friends just decided to watch it and see what the fuss was about. You really didn’t think anything was going to happen. You were gunna watch it and leave. That’s all. Probably would leave halfway if you were too bored. 

But you get smacked on the face by a volleyball, your nose is bleeding.

It’d been none other than Kaeya who was messing around with his serve and effed it up so badly that it went flying into the second floor and right at your face.

It was also him (at the command of Zhongli) who went up to the second floor, checked on you and offered to take you to the clinic (actually Zhongli forced him to)

You said it was fine but Zhongli was giving him the death glare so Kaeya insisted. By this point you had half your face covered up cause you were trying to stop the bloodflow from your nose.

The nurse took care of you and Kaeya waited. When you came out your nosebleed was pretty much gone but Kaeya was struck. He thought you were cute and he couldn’t see it earlier cause you were practically covering your face.

“Sorry about that,” he says again and you wave him off. “It’s fine... It happens...”

There’s a moment of silence while he walks you back and it’s really weird cause the next thing he says is “...So uh, what’s your name, and what class are you in? Don’t think I’ve seen you around,” 

Possibly because you’re a recluse and just avoid socializing out of your own class. You tell him your name and which class you’re in and he nods. You thought that’d be the end of it.

In the next couple of days one of the guys in class keeps handing you notes “Kaeya says to give it to you,” this guy says. You’re guessing he’s friends with Kaeya or at least acquaintances. The first note he ever gives you is: “Hey! Hope you’re feeling better! :)” and there’s a tiny chocolate coin that comes with it.

It’s so childish that you laugh but you can’t help and feel amused by it. You don’t reply to any of his notes (mostly because you don’t know how to, do you just give it to him directly? You were a little too shy for that)

But one day, his note along with another chocolate coin reads: “Kinda wanna talk to you a bit more, here’s my number :) Tell me what you think about the chocolate coins...They’re not actually the best tasting ones huh? :P”

And that’s where the text messages start. Your first message to him was “Chocolate coin 6/10. It’s a little too sweet and when it arrives to me it’s already kinda soft and mushy”

The banter between you two is unreal. It’s like he says something and you say something back and the two of you just vibe real hard over it. 

“Come to my game this Friday? Promise I won’t hit you on the face again :)” and you agree.

He’s only the tiniest bit shy with his waves when he spots you on the stands and he only really meets you after the game when he’s all dressed up and freshened up, so you don’t have a proper chance to meet his team. 

You start to realize that you hadn’t missed any of his games since then and he LOVED your support, but nothing really happened. Just a lot of banter and flirting.

Up until one day, just before classes started, a familiar note was given to you and you hadn’t received one in a while. It read “The chocolate coins wouldn’t cut it, left a box under your desk.” Your hands start to search under your desk where you usually kept some of your books and you touch a rectangular box. 

It’s a box of proper chocolates, the kinds that people would give out on Valentines. You could tell it was slightly expensive, what with the wrapping and everything but the note stuck on the underside of the lid (you nearly missed it,) had you blinking in surprise. “Be my girl?” it said and someone at your classroom door cleared their throat (not a lot of students were in yet, they were just starting to file in for the day) You saw Kaeya there with a lopsided grin and an expression on his face that was a cross of uncertainty and fake confidence. 

You only grinned at him and wrote a note back “Only if you don’t smack my face with the ball again,” and shove it into his hands, turning around and retreating back to your seat before he could respond.

His laughter at the door was enough to tell you how relieved he was. 

#4 Albedo (Setter)

This guy is straightforward as all hell, and he doesn’t get flustered about it at all. He just doesn’t see anything wrong if he’s just spitting facts.

Prior to dating the two of you were just seat buddies. He always seemed to sit in front of you.

You would never catch Albedo making a mistake, not because he was a perfectionist, but mostly because he was just a very careful and calculating person. 

Because he sat right in front of you, the two of you were in the perfect position to interact whenever the teacher would say “Turn around and discuss with a partner,” 

The first time that happened was in first year, he looked at you for a bit, you looked at him for a bit, before getting down to business seriously. Actually discussing what the two of you thought about the reading.

Your class numbers are also in sequence with each other. You were always number 4 and he was always number 3. So you inevitably stuck together in PE when the teacher couldn’t be bothered and would say “Relay race today! Class number 1 to 4 in one group, 5 to 8 in one group. The rest of you count by yourselves!” 

In one of the PE games, the class was learning about volleyball. Once again you got grouped up with him. 

You didn’t really think a lot about these instances, it was just all coincidences to you and you hadn’t really noticed that you get paired up with him a lot.

But in that group volleyball game, that was probably the first time you REALLY SAW Albedo. He was an amazing setter and though you didn’t know a lot about volleyball, you saw the way your group members were able to spike the balls he set for them.

“Albedo,” you called out to him after that class. “Are you in the volleyball team? You should really try out,” In his first year, he wasn’t and he hadn’t any interest in volleyball at all. He was more of a science club person. So he brushed off your comment. 

You asked him again, probably a month later, poking at his back before class started. “Albedo, did you try out?” He raised an eyebrow at you and told you straight that he wasn’t interested in volleyball. You remember scrunching up your eyebrows at that moment, thinking what wasted talent he was. 

“You should really!” And then every single day, you would just ask him if he had tried out yet. He got tired of it. “What do I have to gain by joining a sports team? I don’t even enjoy sports...” 

“You won’t know until you try!” and then, just to shut you up. One day, he finally did. 

He got accepted.

At first he thought it was just a fluke, until the captain told him that he had remarkable sense for being a setter, and knew where to direct the ball at the right moment.

“You should’ve tried out earlier, we really could use someone like you in our team,” is what Zhongli said when Albedo was finally handed his jersey.

The next day, as he comes into the classroom, he throws the jersey on your table, and sits at the chair in front of you. 

You blink at the jersey, before picking it up and spreading it out in front of you. “Genshin High Volleyball Team” “#4″

It dawned on you that he finally tried out and got accepted. “You’re in the team!” You said but glanced at the number again. “Did you get to choose your own number?”

He was facing away from you, unpacking his school bag for the day and answered. “Yes, I chose the number,”

You quizzically looked at the number 4 and tilted your head. “Why the number 4? You know it’s bad luck?” (number 4 is bad luck in some cultures: particularly Chinese, maybe Japanese too?)

He doesn’t answer for a moment, but when he does all he says is “Class number,”

You chide him again. “But your class number is 3, Albedo,”

He finally turns, looks you straight in the eye and takes the jersey back from you. “Yes, but yours is 4,” and turns back around to continue prepping for the class.

You’re stunned and speechless. There’s some type of warmth and shock spreading through your being. 

“You got me into this, so it’s only fair if you watch my first game,”

So you do and you have no idea how but now you’re meeting him after his practice sessions, you’re watching him in his games and you send him good luck messages before each one. 

To him, you’re always going to be his very first fan. 

It almost feels natural and you’re not too shocked when he asks you one day as you meet him after practice, “So, we’re dating now, right?” 

#5 Tartaglia (Middle Blocker/Wing Spiker)

The love at first sight kind of guy. But you don’t take him seriously because he practically flirts with every woman alive.

“Awe come on Y/N, just let me take you out on a date,” He isn’t subtle at all, but because he’s so easy going about it, you really can’t take him seriously. You refuse every time.

“He doesn’t really flirt with other girls... It’s more like... He’s just overly friendly with them,” your friend says, discussing him one day. You roll your eyes. It’s practically the same thing. “But he hasn’t asked anyone else out except you, I think. Maybe just give him a chance?” your friend adds. 

It really doesn’t make a difference to you.

“Y/N-chan!!! Is today the day you say yes?” It’s like an every day occurrence and you’re getting annoyed. It’s not that you don’t like him at all, he’s a decent guy, it’s just that you always think it’ll go wrong with how friendly he is to other girls and you don’t deny the fact that you might be an easily jealous person. (You don’t really know but it feels like you would be)

The “harassment” is unreal and at some point you say yes just to shut him up and he is STOKED. 

He has the date all planned out, it’s out at a theme park that you’ve actually been wanting to go to for a while. It’s astounding how well prepared he was, he even knew your favourite treat and favourite flavour of cotton candy. You didn’t know that he’d already actively asked your friends for tips a long time ago. 

What surprises you most is that he actually isn’t as annoying as you thought he was. “Hey, I know I really forced you out on a date this time, but don’t think too much about it and just have fun, okay?”

He was being considerate of how you felt after all that and didn’t want to pressure you into anything. Still, at the end of that one he asked if you wanted to go on another one and you end up saying you don’t mind. 

Still, there are days when you see him in school and he’s animatedly talking to other girls and looking like he enjoys it. You can’t even be mad because it’s not like the two of you are already a thing. This is exactly what you were afraid about, but you don’t want to bring it up to him because you just didn’t want to be the type to try and change someone to mold into your expectations.

Still, you went out on that second date. That second one also surprised you. It was pretty simple this time around, but the two of you ran into a girl from school, who started to animatedly talk to him about some random thing. You stood there, thinking that you’d be ignored now, but he excused himself pretty fast from the conversation. “Ah, Rika, sorry, I’m busy right now, I’ll talk to you next time okay?” and pulls you along. 

You blink and tell him, “...You could’ve talked to her for a bit... I wouldn’t mind...” He looks back at you, surprised. “Huh? I’m not wasting my precious date time,”  

You find out he’s a pretty one-track mind person (which means that he wasn’t all that great at multi-tasking) but that meant that when he set his focus on you, he wouldn’t put it on anyone else.

Him being friendly with other girls was probably because he was a funny person and easy going, but it actually had nothing to do with how loyal he could or couldn’t be.

This was further proven when, while in class, he again was talking to another girl but he saw you outside the classroom carrying a heavy box, probably from the art room and completely abandons his conversation with that girl without warning and goes out to help you. 

He always gravitates towards you in the end. 

It’s on the third date that the two of you exchange phone numbers and get to know each other a bit more. You learn that he’s pretty passionate about volleyball and apparently that if he’s set his sight on something, he doesn’t give up easily on it.

He’s annoyed that he can’t walk to school with you though, cause you two live on completely different sides of town. But when he has time he still walks you home then takes the bus back to his place. You tell him he doesn’t have to do that since its such a hassle but he keeps saying spending extra time with you is worth it.

Before your fourth date he invites you to one of his games. He’s real energetic about it and he really has a different kind of drive. Even when their team is lagging behind he manages to keep his determination and keep pushing. That’s another different side of him you see. 

You start to feel like he’s actually not as bad as you thought he was at first.

This guy, because he’s so friendly, he ends up having a lot of girl fans but when he sees you at the stands, again, with his one-track mind, he completely doesn’t see anyone else except you (you probably earn a few glares from other girls but whatevs)

What probably nails it for you is when there’s a sudden commotion outside the classroom one day. “Don’t talk about her like that. So what if you’re pretty? You expect me to like you when you’re so foul mouthed?” Everyone is practically outside their classrooms watching as Tartaglia confronts a girl who looks shocked. It was brutal, and the girl runs away crying. 

Tartaglia walks off as well, probably to cool off but you follow him up to the school rooftop. You give him some time to cool down before approaching him and asking if he’s okay. He flashes you a smile. 

“She said some nasty stuff about you and I couldn’t control myself. I’m probably no different to her...” he sighs a little and finally you see that he was genuine in every sense, just that he gets overexcited at times.

You thank him for standing up for you and he shrugs. “It’s my fault anyway, for always entertaining them when they want to talk. I don’t want to be rude and turn them down all the time, but that gives them the wrong idea...”

You say “Well, once we become official maybe they’ll stop getting the wrong idea and stop latching on to you...” 

“Yeah...” It takes him a few seconds before he freaks out “WAIT, YOU WANT TO BE OFFICIAL?!” 

It was heading that way anyway, so you agree but boy what a handful of a boyfriend he is cause he’s on such a different high when the two of you are officially an item. He literally doesn’t even want to be apart from you even for a minute. The kind that would say “I missed you,” even when you just went to the bathroom for 5 minutes.

#6 Kazuha (Decoy/Middle Blocker/Wing Spiker)

Respectful, polite and patient. You waited a while before this guy asked you out officially.

Beforehand the two of you acted like a couple already anyway. The type that people would ask “Are you two dating?” but then both of you would deny it. 

It was more of a friendship that was in plateau. It wasn’t going past that it seemed.

You were childhood friends, your parents knew each other so you grew up around each other. Hence in the mornings the two of you would walk to school with each other. 

Even if you keep saying that the two of you aren’t dating, in your class, the two of you are pretty much seen as a couple (everyone ships you as well) Kazuha is usually nice to everybody in general, but he’s a little different with you. There’s an added sense of gentleness.

Sometimes you pack lunch for him and sometimes he packs it for you (It’s on both your mother’s requests. Your mom would go, oh tell Kazuha not to bring lunch tomorrow I made enough for him too. Type of thing)

If you were sick even the teacher would know and say “Kazuha here’s an extra worksheet for Y/N, pass it on to her,” 

There are really times where the class doubts that the two of you are just friends (can you tell that your whole class is just waiting in bated breath for the two of you to start dating?) There was one time where you got hurt in PE class, it was wholly an accident that Henry collided with you (it was a game of dodgeball) but Kazuha had a different air around him and everyone saw the glare that he directed at Henry. (It was scary because Kazuha always had a smile on his face) but then it was gone as soon as it came and everyone thought they just imagined it. 

Everyone except Henry. Henry still remembers that and he will never forget it. Poor Henry. 

Even with things like crying, Kazuha knew that side of you. When there was a time you got so frustrated because you studied really hard for a test but still failed it. You went off to the bathroom during lunch time. When you came out, all cried out and ready for class again you were suddenly pulled into a warm embrace. Kazuha had been waiting outside for you. His darn hugs makes you cry all over again.

The real change happened when he saw you getting a love letter in your locker. You opened it in front of Kazuha and read it. It was a really sweet letter and you didn’t outright reject the guy. Apparently it was a senior and you’d caught his eye. Kazuha never said anything about those letters.

One day that senior writes that he wants to meet you at the school garden after school that day. You agree and the senior confesses to you. Kazuha is round the corner listening to all of it and he’s struck by the panic that he feels. That’s it. No more walking home with you, or picking you up. No more lunches together and no more hugs to comfort you--but he heard you reject him. 

The relief he feels is what gives him the biggest sign that he didn’t want to see you with someone else. He doesn’t ask that day why you reject the senior, you came back to Kazuha with a smile anyway and you seemed pretty content with your decision. 

While walking home that day, he stops dead in his tracks and you realize seconds later that he has stopped walking. You turn back and you see an unreadable expression on his face. “...Kazuha?” 

“...Y/N... I don’t like it,” Kazuha had a hard time saying what he needed to say because this man is just not the selfish kind. “I don’t like it, when I think that you might date another person,”

Your shoulders relax, you look at his face for a bit more before smiling and walking up to him and taking his hand. “Kazuha, it’s always been you. You slowpoke,”

It’s ironic how you call him slowpoke when he probably has the fastest reaction times in his team.

#7 Xiao (Libero)

“Xiao! You have to stop putting all your time in volleyball practice! I swear your grades are going to suffer!”

That is basically the epitome of your relationship before the two of you started dating. You got on his nerves because you nagged him to no end. You were childhood friends, but the kind that loved to argue a lot. That’s just how your dynamics was. In school though, the two of you ended up in different classes, so you didn’t really see him all that much.

His grades never did suffer though, he was a decent student but he always pushed himself to do better in volleyball. Boy was obsessed with the game and he just wanted to keep on getting better.

You on the other hand, were a pretty mild person and stayed with the music club. (You didn’t know how to play any instrument though)

Xiao always acted tough in front of others but when he was younger he would cry easily when frustrated. Growing up, that crying just turned into hot-headedness. He had a temper sometimes, but you were used to it. 

Despite you always nagging him about taking breaks from volleyball from time to time you still went to his games. He really was a great libero. Quick reflexes and good receives, you admitted that you were a little jealous of how much progress he’d been making. It seemed as if he was slightly further away from you. He now had his own thing to focus on and yet you...had set your sights on nothing.

Nevertheless that made you determined to learn an instrument, and you particularly chose the flute because you remembered that Xiao liked the flute. Though, it disappointed you a little that your choice of musical instrument was dictated by Xiao. It’s like he was always on your mind. It was probably here that you realized you liked the guy more than you thought you did. 

With you focusing on music club a bit more and Xiao pouring his time into volleyball, the two of you spent less and less time together. You hadn’t really realized it until you got a text message from him one day. “Hey, you ok?”        “Yea, why?”         “Nothing, I just haven’t seen you in a while,”

You were a little surprised he noticed but you arranged to spend lunch with him the next day at school. 

Nothing really changed between the two of you, lunch was spent normally, with you berating him and him glaring at you while he ate and chewed on his food. Occasionally you would pinch his arm when you thought he wasn’t listening to you.

Xiao always looked annoyed when you berated him but in truth he couldn’t quite imagine what it would be like if you stopped doing that.  He messaged you that day because he was struck with the sudden emptiness of not hanging out with you for a while. 

“...What happened to your hand?” He asked, seeing some of your fingers bandaged up. “Oh... I’m learning to play an instrument, it gets sore when I go for hours so...” Xiao knew how that felt, his arms would get red too when he practiced receives too much. 

“....Are you going to let me hear?” “Huh?” “...You playing an instrument, are you going to let me hear?” “Oh, uh... I guess? Maybe when I’m a little better at it,”

In some senses he was glad you found something you really wanted to try but on the other hand he felt as if you were slipping away and growing up without him a little. Which was a good thing, right? It’s not like you always had to watch him grow. 

But that had hit much harder when you missed one of his games. He looked up to the stands, to the chair that you would always be on and found it empty. Ah, that’s right, the music club had an event today too. 

He called you up after that game and asked if you were done with your music club activities. You said it’ll be 15 minutes more and he said he’d wait outside for you at the auditorium.

He was surprised when the auditorium doors opened and files and files of people who were audiences walked out. He didn’t think that the event was such a big one. When he spotted you, he waved you over and said the two of you could walk home together. “You played today?” He asked you and you scratched your cheek, those bandages were still on your fingers. “Yeah, a little, not a solo though. Not a big deal, you probably wouldn’t be able to hear my flute at all!” 

“...It is a big deal,” he said as the two of you walked. You glanced at him sideways. “It’s a big deal cause you worked hard on it...You’ve always been at my back so...So invite me to the next one, I’ll come watch. I don’t care how small your part is,” 

You are SHOOK at how touched you are, you NEARLY felt like crying right then and there but you revert to your “annoying childhood friend mode” and pinch his cheek. “Hah? You’re just inviting yourself now? You got some nerve...” The rest of the walk ends up in banter.

But then you do end up inviting him to the next concert of the music club. It was at the auditorium as well, and although you and the club were supposed to play as an orchestra, your flute part was given a little bit of solo time, probably just a few precious seconds. 

It isn’t much of a shock to Xiao when he’s a little nervous for you, but you played just fine and the melody was a calming one. 

“So, how was it?” You ask when you meet him outside again. “...Good,” he was never really good at giving compliments but him showing up was a compliment enough for you. He glanced at your fingers again. “...You really should stop spending so much time practicing, your fingers are going to break,” You laugh, cause that sounded like exactly what you would say to him about volleyball. “Says you, the volleyball freak,”

“...It’s not about that, I just can’t hold them when they’re all bandaged up,” He says to you and again you’re shook. “...What do you mean?” He’s walking ahead of you and he doesn’t seem to want to meet your gaze. “I mean that I can’t hold your hand,” he mutters and you most likely blush.

“...I mean, how long have you been wanting to do that...?” You ask him as you fall in step with each other. “...For a while,” 

There’s nothing but the sound of footsteps between the two of you, before he feels the tangle of your fingers around his after a few seconds and your slight murmur. “Idiot, they’re not that fragile...”

Nothing is said between the two of you about dating, but the two of you know that it’s already happened. Maybe later on, he’ll confirm it, but for now you’re happy with this. 

#8 Thoma (Pinch Server/Middle Blocker)

You don’t go to the same school, but your school is just a few blocks away from his and you always pass it on your way home.

Aside from that, he’s actually your neighbor! And let’s face it, if you have a neighbor as handsome as him you’d probably spend a lot of time looking out your window to see if he’s out there or something. It just so happens that your bedroom window faces the front of your house, which is right next to his. 

So, for the longest time, the only thing you know about Thoma is that he is extremely helpful. He meets his mom out at the pavement when she comes back with groceries and helps her carry it. He walks his dog Taroumaru every day. You’ve even seen him helping a random granny with her groceries the other day. So in a sense, you’ve built this totally perfect image of Thoma in your mind. Without even talking to him. 

One day you just happen to go out of your house for school at the same time as him and just as you come out of the gate you see him and he’s looking at you, then he breaks into a smile. “Oh hey! You go to the school near ours? That’s their uniform right?” 

You were extremely shy to talk to him but he made it easy to converse. He was actually really funny and had some weird thoughts going on in his mind sometimes. You hadn’t even realized you were walking together until he was already at his school and waved goodbye to you. 

That was the first time you interacted with him and that was pretty much it for six months. The rest of the time was just looking out your window and sometimes seeing him there.

Until one day, you ended track and field practice late. The sky was already dark and you were just walking home, when you run into him at his school gates as well. He blinks at you and you blink at him. “Oh! Neighbor! Wow you’re out late too! Ahaha!” And again he’s so good wiith conversations that the two of you fall in step with each other. You learn that he’s in his school’s volleyball team and you tell him you’re in track and field.

It’s here that you see a different side of him. “I...don’t know...maybe I’m not cut out for volleyball, I’m new in the team and I feel like I’m not really helping all that much,” so he was a normal person with normal insecurities too. You tell him to just keep trying and that it’s probably too early to give up. He smiles and laughs “You’re totally right!”

Again, for a few months, you don’t see him at all. The next time you see him is because you forgot your keys at home and both your parents were out. It was an extremely hot summer day too, as you just sat on your porch steps. 

You weren’t really paying attention to who was passing by outside the gates. But Thoma passed by, and he back tracked when he thought he saw you just sitting there. “Hey, you okay?” You look up and explain the situation to him. “Oh... Well, come over my place while you wait for them! It’s really hot out here! I’m sure my mom won’t mind!” 

You strongly refuse, mostly because you were freakin embarrassed. “Come on, really, you’re gunna die out here,” in the end you really just wanted air conditioning so you agreed.

His mom was as nice as he was and prepared cold tea for you to drink. She did leave the two of you in the living room and went off to do her own thing. While Thoma changed out of his uniform, you did your homework on their dining table. It looked like he had the same idea since he brought his school bag down with him and sat next to you to do his. “Wow, it looks like your math is a lot harder than ours,” 

When the two of you finished, your mom messaged you saying that she and your dad was going to be a bit later than usual today because of business meetings. Thoma took that as an opportunity to offer “Wanna watch this new series together? It’s a mystery show,” and he went off on a tangent about how it was pretty popular these days. You agreed just for the heck of it, I mean you were in his house, what choice did you have? So the two of you moved to the sofa and watched it in the living room together.

Surprisingly you ended up liking it, but on the third episode, your mom called and said they were back home. “Ah that’s too bad, hey let’s watch it again next time!” 

You didn’t really expect there to be a “next time” it was just one of those things that people said to be polite. But, come Friday that week and your mom answers to a knock on the door. “Mrs.(your last name)! I was wondering if Y/N was in?” Indeed you were and you were so dumbfounded when he said the two of you can continue watching that series together and asked if you preferred to watch it at yours or at his. You didn’t mind either way so you end up watching it at his. 

So over the course of the week he ends up going to your house or you end up going to his just to watch that series together. It was naturally more fun to watch it with someone, you could share your reactions together and talk about it as well. All of this happens in the living room though, while one of your parents were around. 

It was a few weeks later that he tells you he’s going to have his first volleyball game and he was hella nervous for it. He didn’t ask you to come, he just talked about it but you took note of the date and showed up to watch him.

You honestly didn’t even know what you were doing there. I mean, he probably had other people supporting him, right? He seemed like the type to have a lot of friends and everything. Just before the game started he spotted you off to the side and he’s shocked, but he jogs towards you “You came...to watch me?” he asks this with wide eyes. “Umm... Yeah? Since you did say you were nervous... A-Am I making it worse? I can go...”

“No!! I-It’s good! I’m happy!” He was a bit jittery but he did really look happy. Before he leaves, some of his guy friends come around and he introduces you to them, then goes off for his game. His guy friends look equally nice, but they snicker around you and one of them speaks up. “Ah, so you’re the girl Thoma has been talking about so much,” 

You’re surprised yet again. His friends basically throw him under the bus while the poor thing was nervous for his first game. His friends say that Thoma’s always excited for Friday nights cause he gets to watch the series with you and some other things that you found amusing.

Thoma’s team ends up winning and you congratulate him for a job well done, but all the things his friends said is still swimming around in your head. He meets his friends briefly, before they all leave and Thoma comes back around to you.

You just can’t hold it in. How can you keep it a secret? Plus you’ve been crushing on the guy for a while too. “Um so... your friends...they’re a little talkative...” you trail off seeing if he would get the hint. It takes him a few seconds before his face is a blushing mess. “W-Wait, did they say anything weird? D-Did they tell you a-about the stuff I say about you?”

You meekly nod your head and his face basically combusts into redness. Then he sighs... “I just... really like your company,” the both of you are just red.

“...Same,” you finally say and he takes that as a positive sign. “Th-Then, you don’t mind spending a bit more time with me, right?”

It’s a really simple start, but it was also really wholesome.

Tips are really appreciated! Or if you want something written ASAP, my commissions are open in limited amounts!

how i (personally) pirate things. this is by no means a great extensive perfect guide, ill just give you the process of how i go about it. and if you’re in a country where they monitor your internet usage, consider getting a good vpn! always helps. also if anyone wants to add their personal resources, PLEASE DO!!! you’re encouraged to do so!!!

not much to do with the pirating itself, but i download most of the stuff i watch/read/listen. sometimes websites get deleted and links go bad, but files are forever! consider getting a usb/external disk for your stuff. it was one of my first investments as an adult. got a 1 TB disk 5 years ago and im not even halfway through filling it. so most of the sites listed here are for downloads. sorry if you prefer streaming stuff.

in the same subject, get VLC media player. it’s a great media player that works with a bunch of file formats AND you can add subtitle/cc files for the stuff you watch. more on that later.

and for the love of fucking god GET MOZILLA. i swear to God, if you only use chrome it will change your browsing experience. it's just a better experience, no tracking, uses less space, has a bunch of useful add ons to help with browsing security. for a search engine i use startpage. it's just Google without blocking pages and tracking. life-changing

to the actual pirating. first step if you want to WATCH stuff:

AND also, keep in mind that if you can’t find something here, i suggest you go to a non-google browser, and simply type out what you want + “watch/download free”. of course you should get an ad block (i recommend ublock) and learn how to recognized fake links, but that’s just practise. most of the time you’ll find a random website that has what you’re looking for.

torrent:

- for movies, i usually turn to yts/yify movies. this is the latinamerican site but im sure it’s available almost everywhere. quite good catalogue, not that complete, but yknow. its good. any time you download a torrent file, make sure the file is .torrent, and that the thing you’re downloading is in the right format (mp4, mp3, mkv, etc. don’t open.exe files from places that aren’t trustworthy lol)

- torrent is IN MY OPINION one of the best ways to download media in general. i use it mostly for movies, tv shows and games. my go to torrent client is deluge because it doesn’t use much space and it’s fairly easy to use. here’s a tutorial, for you to learn how to use it. not difficult at all

- for subtitles /ccs, i go to yts-subs. bunch of subtitles in all languages. or simply check out opensubtitles, my oldest friend

- for tv shows it gets tricky, because i had a website i used before but its gone now :( so i turned to limetorrents. you can find it if you search for it. has a bunch of other stuff but i only use it when i have nowhere to turn to lmao. but upadates quite quickly, so. just make sure the uploader seems constant and trustworthy, which you can check in their profile.

non torrent stuff:

- for pc games: igggames hasn’t failed me yet. they update their links quite often

- for books: z-library (latine link, but just look it up! should show up). and my recent ally, vk. you should all love vk. vk is my fucking best friend. just look up [book name] + vk and it should show up.

- for audiobooks: vk! my good friend. i’d suggest you make an account and then check out this profile. or simply google [book] +  audiobook + vk. something will pop up. audio files can only be streamed on the website, but fear not, there is also mobilism, which also has some other content, though i use it mostly for audiobooks. you’ll have to make an account but thats fine. you can download the files in there.

- for anime: i don’t watch a lot of anime tbh, but you can find subtitled anime here

- for premium apps: here’s my trusty spotify premium link. but mobilism has links for android and ios  apps as well! i have a friend who uses it and says the links check out, so!

- for music: how old are you? just download stuff from youtube with a youtube to mp3 converted. jeez.

im surely missing a website, so maybe i’ll add something later, but this is pretty much it! thanks for watching.

a/n; LMAO im so sorry for disappearing again life has been actually kicking my ass but anyways lately i’ve been thinking about subby early season spence so here we go,, hope you enjoy!

***

Another Friday night and the team was out bar crawling after an easy case. But this time all members were there as it reached 11pm which was rare. Usually Hotch and JJ would have been home by 10:30 and Spencer wouldn’t have been there at all. But there was something light in the air which had all parties concerned sitting packed in a booth, laughing after each sip of their drinks. 

Since it wasn’t your first rodeo together you knew how the night went. It started off with Rossi offering to buy the first few rounds, always whiskey but he made an exception for Penelope. Then again who would deny her anything. 

Once the drinks were flowing and lips got a little loose, the questions would start popping in at the top of your heads. However these were not your run of the mill, ‘hows so and so doing?’ ‘done your taxes yet?’ oh no. The name of the game was discuss where you would all think of a question which would help you dig just a tiny bit deeper into your coworkers sex lives. 

Maybe if you were all sober then you’d avoid thinking of each other in such positions, pun intended, yet in this state your prying minds were open and your stomachs were ready to grow abs from bending over in laughter. 

You raised the margarita glass up clinking it with a fork to get the tables attention. Everyone including Aaron had a smile on their face, ready to hear the intrusive question for the night. 

“Ok my fellow profilers, doctor, and tech genius,” you added pointing at Spencer then Pen, “Do you kiss your partner after they give you head? Discuss!” you finished in your most formal voice. 

Right as you took a swig of your drink the mixed responses of yes and no filled your small space. 

“Why wouldn’t you? You guys especially, if someones willingly trying to swallow then you damn well owe them a kiss,” Emily finished earning nods and ‘exactly’s from JJ, Pen, and yourself. 

“Ok but thats weird. I just can’t explain it but its a no go for me,” Morgan finished. This only gained him a scoff and raised voices, “Hotch man help me out here,” he said looking over to the man hiding his smirk behind the amber liquid. 

“I have to agree with the ladies here Derek,” he said curtly. 

The girls yelped and hooted at Hotch for siding with them while Morgan sat with his arms crossed being the singular person left out as even Rossi agreed. Meanwhile you noticed the presence next to you had shrunk back and wasn’t too active in the conversation. 

“So Spence do you kiss your partner after they,” you trailed off shaking your fist by your cheek and poking your tongue in the side. 

He coughed as he instantly sat up quicker. Even under the dim lights of the bar you could still see the blush creeping up from his neck to his ears and the slightest tint on his cheeks. 

“Oh I uh- I never-” he said looking anywhere but your eyes. 

“You don’t kiss them?” you said raising your brows. 

“No! I-i mean yes. I would I think b-but I haven’t had the chance to actually partake in such.. activities,” he finished finally taking a look into your eyes. 

You could tell he was waiting for you to laugh in his face for being so inexperienced but you felt far from it. If anything you wished you could be the one to show him things. 

That sweet boy had you wrapped around his finger and he didn’t even know it. Maybe it was his naivety considering how exceptionally smart he was. Or maybe it was the cute sweater vests he wore and now he nervously tucked his hair behind his ears. All you knew was that you wanted Spencer Reid and tonight was your night to make it happen. 

You hummed taking in the information, “Well that’s not a bad thing Spence. Everything takes time,” you said putting your hand on his arm for comfort and giving him a smile. 

Going to turn back to face the table you almost didn’t hear Spencer go to speak again, “Do you?” 

Got him.

“Why don’t you find out pretty boy,” you said with a wink as you downed the rest of your marg. In the corner of your eye you could see Spencer shifting in his seat, subtly moving his bag to cover the slowly growing tent in his slacks. 

As the night went by you couldn’t help but really give him a show. You had popped open a button or two on the long sleeve you had on, since it was getting stuffy in the booth. Though when you leaned forward and jutted your chest out, the soft inhale of a breath from the man next to you was just serving as motivation to get bolder. 

For the last hour you called it quits on the alcohol and drank a few glasses of water before you drove home. Spencer had been uncharacteristically quiet ever since your little interactions. 

The team had all gotten up to say their goodbyes. Rossi going by and giving everyone a kiss on each cheek. Derek having to quite literally rangle Penelope from talking to passing by groups on their way out. Then there were two. 

You turned to the side where Spencer was nursing on his coke, “Hey pretty boy, it’s late, let me give you a ride home,” you said grabbing your belongings. 

“Y-yeah ok. Thanks Y/n,” he said getting up. You’d noticed how he still had the burnt orange bag over his crotch. He couldn’t still be hard could he? Well you’d love to find out. 

As gentlemanly as he was, Spencer opened the door for you to exit the building first. The whip of fresh night air cooling on your exposed chest and legs under your skirt. 

You unlocked your car and stepped in, Spencer waiting to hear the little beep signaling his side was open. As he sat down you heard him let out a little whimper. Your head shot over to look at him, you could tell from the flush on his cheeks he didn’t mean to let the noise out. 

Holding in your chuckle you started the ignition and pulled out of the lot, “Can I put on some music?” 

“Yeah I don’t mind,” he said looking over at you with his lips in a line. If it was anyone else, they’d probably think he was uncomfortable but you loved his tiny awkward smiles. 

The ride to his apartment was mostly silent besides a rare quip from Spencer about paper work or fact about an older building you had passed by. It fascinated you to no end hearing him talk. Spencer was a hand speaker, meaning he always used his hands waving them around and making gestures. The pale digits had you captivated. Probably a driving hazard but you couldn’t help but let your mind wander. 

You pulled up into one of the visitor spots and put the car in park. You looked over to see Spencer almost contemplating something. You’d seen the look on his face before when he was looking over puzzles. 

“Somethin on your mind Doc?” you said with a small smile. As cute as he looked when he was nervous, you’d never want him to feel uncomfortable around you. 

“Would you-,” he cleared his throat, “Wo- Would you maybe want to c-come inside?” 

“Of course Spence I’d love to,” you finished with a reassuring nod. 

As he led you upstairs you were giddy with anticipation. So what if nothing happened. He was your friend first and you were glad he was letting you into his personal space. Even if you wanted nothing more than to have him writhi-

“Y/n?” 

The door closing snapped you out of your thoughts. You didn’t even realize you were in his living room. The dark green walls and shelves bursting with books put a grin on your face, “Sorry Doc, just caught up in my thoughts. What did you say hun?” 

His brows practically raised to his hairline from hearing the pet name. While he was used to the names coming from Garcia they took a whole different light coming from your lips. 

“I was asking if you wanted water or something,” he said fiddling with the keys in his hands. Eyes darting everywhere but your face so you wouldn’t be able to see the flush rising on his cheeks. 

“No I’m fine thanks for asking though,” you said taking a seat on the worn leather couch. 

You reached for the tv remote making a face at Spencer to ask for permission. He nodded and you settled back turning on an old sitcom that played late at night. 

As the episode ended you both sat in silence. Again you didn’t mind but you could practically hear the cogs moving in Spencer’s brain. 

You were about to speak when he cut you off before you could even get a word out, “What did you mean by ‘why don’t you find out’.”

Gaining confidence you moved closer to where he was on the couch, slow enough for him to stop you in case he wanted to back out. 

“Well you have options pretty boy,” you said moving a leg to straddle him. Your hands instinctively going to his brown locks. You could’ve sworn you heard a little moan leave his chapped lips. Noted. 

“W-what are the options,” lust blown eyes looked up to yours. 

“One, you can put that mouth to good use on me,” you said trailing your finger over his bottom lip, “and let me cum over that pretty face.” 

His eyes shut hearing your words and you weren’t having it, “Nuh uh eyes on me honey,” instantly they were back on yours. 

“Or number two. I can suck you off and let you cum down my throat, but,” you paused making sure to roll your hips on his growing length, “ you have to give me a nice big smooch after.” 

The hands on your hips pulled you closer as he bucked his hips into you as you finished the sentence. It was clear which option was preferred. 

You moved to slide down in between his legs. You let your hands trail down his clothed thighs, causing him to jump. 

“Tsk such a needy boy,” you said mockingly, “Am I not going fast enough baby?”

“Please Y/n,” he all but whimpered. It was like music to your ears. 

Your hands went to his belt, looking up in his eyes for a final sign of permission. Once he nodded you quickly undid it and he lifted his hips to help get his pants down. You palmed him over his boxers, feeling the wet patch where he was already leaking pre cum. 

“Is this all for me Spence? Does the thought of my lips around you make you this hard,” you said taking him out of the striped confines. 

“Oh god please just,” he cut himself off. You could see his hands curling fists besides his legs. 

“Please what baby? I can’t give you anything unless you ask.” Your hands continued their task of leisurely stroking his length. 

“Fuck please put your mouth on me,” he rushed out, hips bucking to prove his point. 

The answer was good enough for you so you wasted no time in leaning forward and taking him in your mouth. Both of you let out content sighs as you tried to take him further. 

You looked up to see him with his head leaned back, eyes scrunched closes in pleasure. 

You pulled off with a pop, letting your hand work him over. “Better keep those pretty eyes on me before I decide you can’t finish.”

He looked down with a flash of worry, that was quickly replaced by a loud moan as you spit down on his cock before taking him in your mouth again. 

For a germaphobe, Spencer loved how nasty it was. He was thanking god or whatever higher being there was for giving him his eidetic memory because the sight below him was something he’d never wanna forget. 

Your eyes were teary and you had spit dribbling down your chin but he wanted nothing more than to give you more than just a kiss after you finished. Or well after he finishes. 

You could tell he was close by the way he was throbbing on your tongue. Again taking him out of your mouth you used both hands to jerk him off. 

“You’re doing such a good job baby. So good for me. You wanna cum in my mouth pretty boy?”

“God Y/n I’m so close please please please,” he whimpered out. 

“Cum for me baby, be my good boy Spence,”  you said before taking him down your throat. He was big, not girthy but long and it was a struggle but you’d be damned if you didn’t try to take him all. 

Hollowing your cheeks you bobbed your head quickly, egging on his release further. His hands finally found a place in the back of your head. Pushing you down further as he came. 

“F-fuck Y/n I’m gonna”

His moans and whines were a symphony of sounds you’d have on repeat in your head forever. 

You swallowed the salty release but before you could even wipe your lips you were being pulled up by Spencer placing his lips on yours. You moaned into the kiss, his hands gripped the sides of your face not wanting to let you go. 

The need for air made you both pull back. You looked at one another, chests heaving and looking like you ran a marathon. 

Then a sad look came across his face. 

“Spencer what’s wrong?” 

“You didn’t get any pleasure,” he said looking like a hurt puppy. Oh your sweet boy. 

“It’s ok baby, I can take care of myself,” you tried to shrug off.

He was quick to push you back on the couch, taking the spot you were previously in. His warm lips trailing down your exposed thighs. 

“I wanna do it, but only if you kiss me after.”

I am one month into residency. Here are a few things I've learned (mostly about myself):

1) I am, indeed, a textbook person. I always thought I was an uptodate person, but it's just not always the best resource for peds. I have looked things up in Red Book, Lange Neonatology, Bright Futures, and AAP Peds in Review multiple times this month already. They just seem to work better for me when I have the time. Uptodate is my second choice for on-the-go reading (like when walking to morning conference)

2) organization is key. I'm not sure what system works best for me on rounds since the handoff sheet we get is completely different from what we used at my med school. (Same info, just formatted differently on the page). But, I have found having a succinct cover sheet with all of my patients only and their to-do items for the day to be way more efficient than flipping back and forth in a big packet. I'm still working out how to make the handoff page work best for me during rounds though. One thing is clear though, if you're not organized, something will be forgotten. For me, keeping lists and check boxes is key.

3) if I don't write it down, it doesn't exist. How do people remember *everything*?? If I don't write it down within 5 minutes of doing it/hearing about it/being told to do it, it's forgotten in the abyss.

4) good sleep hygiene is my BFF. I probably have co-residents with wacky schedules, but I like my routine and I have noticed I do better when I'm well rested. I typically get 6-8 hours, but in order to ensure that happens, I have a pretty consistent routine in the evenings after work and the mornings before work (especially since I don't have a yard and have to walk my dog both times). I also like feeling well rested in the morning. I'm in a better mood, less stressed, and make fewer mistakes. (Maybe this one matters more since I don't drink coffee or soda so I don't get an extra boost from the caffeine?? I've debated energy shots, but I get heart palpitations with anxiety and they freak me out. I can only imagine what extra caffeine would do)

5) I 100000% prefer to work as a team than work alone. My last block was very team oriented and I felt like I thrived. We were always asking each other how we could help and getting lunch or snacks for each other when we couldn't go together as a group. It was very much a "we all lift each other up" kind of environment. I hope that carries into my other blocks, too. I'm going to do my best to continue to be a team player and help everyone with their workload.

6) I still feel pretty dumb and unsure of myself, but the imposter syndrome is WAY less than before. Idk if it's the new environment or what, but I just don't feel that same fear of being too dumb and undeserving and being the weak link like I did during med school. Sure, I have a lot to learn and I do sometimes forget things or freeze up (for instance, I completely forgot what DI was today during rounds. Literally could not have even told my fellow my name if she had asked.lol) and while I fell a little embarrassed, it's not the same as it was before. Maybe I'm in a better mental place for now?

7) Im somehow less stressed. Like, I work hard at work and sometimes I get frustrated or get stuck, but it's not the same as being a student. I read articles and do practice questions at home but it's much more leisurely. Despite the long hours, I find this WAY more enjoyable than med school. I don't feel guilty for taking time off or enjoying my hobbies and I actually enjoy studying and looking up stuff about my patients. Residency is hard, but I am so much happier than I was before. I hope it stays this way.

8) my dog is still one of the absolutely best part of my day. She's happy when we get up in the morning and happy when I get home in the evening. She will forever be the bright, sunny spot in my day. Its a lot of work having a dog while living alone, but holy crap is she worth it❤

Hi! I would like a jjk romantic matchup pls.

I’m a shy person and I’m 148cm tall. Im female, my mbti is infj and I’m heterosexual. I’m usually quiet around others and only talk if I’m comfortable with certain ppl. 

I like movies, reading books and also eating. I also have a huge interest in art such as visual and performing arts. I enjoy going to places like museums and going to new restaurants to eat and discover new food. I like to watch movies or read during my spare time. I’m also learning how to cook. I don’t really have a type that I would look for in a partner but I would say I would like to have partner that is understanding and also funny. 

Thank you!

I think your Jujutsu kaisen matchup is

Suguru Geto

Geto is a silent person. He doesn't speak often. He can talk a lot, but only with friends. He would never talk to strangers. Especially not with a smile.

He is a very calm and precise person. At every moment, he tries to do everything right, not sloppy. How, therefore, he is able to overwork for nothing. He will not let go of his assignment if he has to finish it. That's why he also likes to be in quiet places.

He won't talk to people he doesn't know at all. First, he doesn't like some of the people around him, and second, he doesn't have to like people at all.

He doesn't enjoy talking to strangers. If they want to get to know each other, they should start slowly first. Introduce yourself, talk for a while rather than be pushy and do everything at once when you don't even know someone's name. He hates it. That's why he is often the one who just doesn't speak and is just there. It is true that this can scare people away from him. A serious face when alone can really prevent anyone from approaching him.

It's worse when he's with friends. Then he talks and smiles. And this is what can show strangers that he is a nice person and will try to get closer to him. Mostly women… But unfortunately he is not interested.

He is calmer in public than when he is at home. When he is in a strange place he will not do as many strange things as they do in the dorm or anywhere else. Elsewhere, he can do anything with her friends. And he doesn't care about the consequences until he takes them for someone else.

Someone is an understanding man. He accepts the character of even the worst people, paying no attention to anything else.

Headcanon:

• He will go with you wherever you want. Unless it's not going to be interesting at all. Even though he likes to spend time with you. When you want to go wherever you want, he will go with you to keep you company.

You can then be sure that he will not be bored. He'll probably look around and only pay attention to you, but probably he would find something to curious about.

• Take this man to the restaurant or he'll take you. There aren't many taste preferences or favorite flavors. The important thing is that it will be good food.

Every dish you have tried is eaten by him as well. When you don't like it, you can give it back to him, and he will give you his if you like him more. Then both of you will be a plus because nothing will be wasted.

He, too, is able to suddenly steal something from your plate to taste it and see your reaction.

You can do it to him and he will not mind because he will take something from you.

• It is really relaxing and nice to spend time together. Watching a movie together while you are sitting in bed or lying down. You can lie on him and he even wants it. He likes holding you on and wrapping his arms around your little body. Besides, when he is sitting behind you, he will definitely not cover you.

• When you prefer to read, just lie on him while he sleeps. Even when he wakes up, he won't have the heart to throw you off when you're comfortable.

He is the best pillow you can find in a room.

"Not that I want you to leave me anymore because I feel so good, but don't you think you've been hugging me for quite a long time? I have to go to training. I'd like to spend time with you, but you know… They won't leave me alone. Baby, I'll see you in an hour. I promise I'll take you to the best restaurant."
