My 𝐓𝐨𝐩 24 30 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 from 2024🎉 (because rules were made to be broken)

TYSM for tagging me @herecirmsims, @elderwisp, and @changingplumbob 💖 As per usual, I went overboard... oops!

Before I forget -- I am going to tag @honeyjars-sims, @raiiny-bay, @havenroyals, @likelyamused, and @dandylion240 (ofc, feel free to ignore me if you've already done it, or if you just don't wanna)

JANUARY

We started the year in Sulani where Phoenix and Dawn got engaged! Let us all take a moment to remember the glory that was Phoenix with a tan 😍

I call this - My Love Affair with Brindleton Bay (Part 1)

I love them. This isn't even the greatest screenshot, but it will forever be one of my favorites. One day I will put together a collage of forehead kisses for these two.

FEBRUARY

My Love Affair with Brindleton Bay (Part 2)

Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi were always happy to steal focus when I needed to blur things happening in the background... 😏

Atlas forever being the best uncle in the world... and fascinated with his niece having his eyes

MARCH

Me peeking through the foliage while Phoenix introduces his wife and child to his mom... the only way he knows how 🥺🤍

APRIL

😂 Ok so March and April are pretty sparse... I took a break in the Spring because I was going through a breakup and a move. I spent that time focusing on things that made me happy - like writing The Past arc for the boys and laughing at Dawn's ridiculous in-game expressions 😂

MAY

I'm so glad I took that break because I was able to come back and give Phoenix and Dawn the wedding they deserved! I also LOVE these last two shots... After the party ended, those three were goofing off and having so much fun... and then giving Phoenix the MOST thoughtful gift... it still makes me tear up! 🥹

JUNE

And so it begins... This nightmare sequence was so much fun to put together! And this shot is by far my favorite... it was totally by accident, but oh so perfect

The Past my beloved... I love this shot sm... the morning light, the fall colors, Ash and Lex being Ash and Lex while Atlas tags along behind them (he'd only known Ash for 24 hours and was already crushing... poor boy didn't stand a chance)

Oh yeah! Remember Chestnut Ridge?! The way I jumped around in this part istg... You're all incredible for putting up with me this summer 😂 Okay but I love this one because of how all the animals are turned to look at Danny... again, a total accident, but perfectly foreshadows what I have in mind for his future!

Back the The Past - What's perfect about this one is how the only thing in focus is where they are touching.

I’m acutely aware that his leg is resting against me now, and he’s rolling the fabric of my sleeve between his thumb and middle finger. Normally, I would have already scooted away from the sofa. Pivoted my body so the conversation could continue, but so that I could not be touched. But I don’t feel any need to do that. Not with him. His affection is so subtle and absent-minded; I can tell he’s just feeling comfortable with me. Something about that makes me feel comfortable with him too.

JULY

AHHHHHH!!! I still lose my mind over this moment!!! Like... the way physical touch plays such a big role throughout this arc, and getting to see Atlas evolve from someone who always kept his distance from people to being the affectionate teddy bear he is today... and the way Ash is so sweet and mindful and considerate through it all...

And then I look down, down to where I feel his hand come to rest on my leg, the heat of it warming my thigh. “Is that okay?” He asks, “Do you want me to move my hand?” I look up into his eyes and shake my head slightly, “No. No, it’s okay.”

THEIR FIRST KISS!!!!! The tippy toes pls!!! 😭 I'm not gonna lie.... I forgot the entire purpose of this post and am now lost to reminiscing... I already miss this arc so much!!!

Taking my time, I brush my lips lightly against his before kissing him softly. Holding myself back, not because I’m unsure, but because I’ve never been more certain of anything. I want to savor this moment, commit it to memory so I can revisit it tomorrow, and every day after.

A brief look into The Present as these two make plans for the future that I will inevitably ruin for them because I felt compelled to go into CAS and play around with genetics and rewrite the entire ending to this arc. Sorry not sorry boys!

aaaand back to The Past for our first peek at Ash's POV as he realizes he may be falling for Atlas

Y’know, my biggest fear is drowning, especially in the ocean, and yet, my favorite place is the beach near my parents’ house, sitting right at the water’s edge. Being with Atlas, it reminds me of this place. The bright blue of his eyes, the sandy color of his hair, and the dusting of freckles across his nose. And the way being near him makes me feel just a little nervous, like at any moment I could get swept away and lose myself completely.

AUGUST

Oh yeah! Chestnut Ridge and Joey's cliche dad-logic moment! Seriously guys... thank you for putting up with my nonsense... But OMG! Did you know you can set the horses to buck riders off every time they try to get on? 10/10 recommend if you need a laugh! I had so much fun with this scene... Phoenix, on the other hand, did not 🫣

This one. You have no idea. I struggled SO MUCH with trying to figure this scene out... and only those in our discord writing group will know how I lost my mind when these poses were released and gave me the inspiration I needed... I'm pretty sure I shot this scene a month before I even started this arc because I couldn't get it out of my head... I should also add that these two died in process of making it, and I fucked up this lot while trying to place all the lights and decos via TOOL and had to start all over in another save (which worked out because the Romance Festival spawned in the new one making it all so much better and more lively)... I went through a lot for this shot, and I will hold it near and dear to my heart forever as a result.

SEPTEMBER

Just them. Holding hands. In The Present. 🥹 I just like this one a lot... it's actually the desktop background on my PC lol

A hazy dream in neon pink

Don't worry... they're JUST FRIENDS (who are clearly in love with each other and on mdma and suddenly can't keep their hands off each other)

As he backs himself against the wall, pulling me into him, I finally understand. “Is this okay?” he asks. I lean in so fast that I practically breathe the answer into his mouth, “Yeah,” and before I know it, we’re making out again. But this time is far more intense, our kisses deeper, our breathing ragged, our hands grabbing fistfuls of hair and clothing and clawing at skin as though our desire for each other has grown into some kind of wild animal. Finally free from its cage, there’s no going back now.

💛🩵💛🩵 What am I doing again? I think I've lost the plot...

OCTOBER

Oh yeah... fave screenshots of 2024! We're so back! San Myshuno my beloved

The Proposal 😭 Spoiler alert... they were never "just friends" ajsdkakljs Also, I had to exit and go back in game three times to keep those bright red/orange skies for this scene... worth it!

NOVEMBER

A glimpse of The Future... and bb is confused af

DECEMBER

Things are different now in ways they don't quite understand, but they have each other 🥹🩵💛

For the rest of our lives, we're in this together.

MASTERLIST: [ preview ] | [ 1 ] | [ 2 ] | [ 3 ]

————-　★　-———— . ————-　★　-————

“O-oh..” You clear your throat after telling yourself to get it together about a million times. Opening your mouth after what seemed like an eternity, “I uh.. Uncle Minjun? It’s nice to meet you. I’m y/n.” You offer your hand out to the man who was undeniably a splitting image of Yeonjun - just older.

He was dashing and had an air of charisma around him. One would know that being in the real estate business, you need to have some type of charm after all, so you're not too surprised that he owns the biggest housing and commercial property business in Asia. He seemed like the type to be able to sway you easily into buying things without much hesitation. 

Also explains why your mom fell for him.

“y/n.. Very nice to meet you finally. I’ve heard nothing but good things about you from your mother, you seem like a very smart lady. And as expected - beautiful too. Surely you have a lot of suitors by now, eh?” He says in a playful manner, as you finally take a seat to join them, right across from Yeonjun. 

“Oh, trust me, dad. Soobinnie's all over her.” The male across from you nonchalantly points out, making you cough right as you scoop the clear soup into your mouth. 

“Oh? CEO Dongwon's son? Well sounds like he’s a decent man.” Your mother for sure wouldn't pass off the chance to give her two cents, “Why didn’t you tell me this, sweetie? You should invite Soobin here sometime.” She lets out a giddy laugh as you grimace into your soup.

"Well, we’re not an item, Mom. And you know I want to focus on my studies first…” 

“It’s rare you hear that nowadays eh? I wish my son would see education the same way as you y/n. Maybe you should teach him a thing or two, huh?” Minjun replies, sipping from his scotch glass and giving Yeonjun a look to which the younger male replies with a sarcastic scowl. 

“I’m sure Chaewon’s got that covered.” You take the opportunity to tease back, it was your way of repaying him for bringing Soobin up. “They’re a really cute couple.” You smile the sweetest one you can muster and look over at his dad who seems to suddenly be interested at the mere mention of a girl. 

“Well, if you’re serious about dating her, son, stop bringing random girls home. You know the guards see you when you do that, right? It's quite distasteful really.” 

Your eyes widen upon learning this little piece of information, he was still bringing girls home, even though he’s dating my friend?  You think to yourself. You could feel Yeonjun’s glare directed at you from across the table, but ultimately decide to avoid it and just eat. 

“I-I’ll go get the dessert.” You shoot up from your seat not too long after, wanting to do anything to get you out of that semi-awkward situation. 

“I’ll help you y/n!” Yeonjun chimes in, walking behind you and following you into the kitchen- giving you no other choice. 

“Ahjumma, can you please take out the cream cake my mom bought this morning? I’ll cut it myself.” You say in a polite tone and a smile to match, watching the older lady walk out back to the refrigerators to go grab it. 

You let out an exasperated sigh, leaning back against the expensive Italian marble countertop. “Not even an hour with you and I’m already tired.” You glare at the male.

It’s true, there’s a reason why you never got along with him, as he was always picking on you. But it was more of a welcomed gesture for you because even though it was annoying, you were just glad you are not a part of the population of MOA-U girls who have fallen victim and succumbed to his charms. 

“Well, you do know what this means… right y/n?” Yeonjun asks, almost in a teasing tone from what you can pick up.

Soon, his hands lay flat over the countertop, on each side of your hip - effectively trapping you in. 

You swallow hard, you’ve never been this close to him before. 

Chaewon always had somewhat of a fence around him in school, which is why we’ve never been face-to-face like this. You find yourself taking note of his prominent features- from his black locks, which complimented his hazel eyes, his strong jawline, his raised nose bridge, and even that cute, boyish smile. 

“H-huh?” Great, what was that part about being immune to his charms again? 

“We’re going to be siblings," He says, arms wrapping around your waist, "..so you’ll see more of me around, most likely.” His smile stretches out even more, and it was like he enjoyed that you were flustered by the mischievous glint in his eyes.

Like a shark being able to smell fear from a few feet away. 

"You're... You weirdo." Was all you were able to say, and it took all of your might to push him off of you, and right on time too, as the help finally came back with the cake to save the day. 

You leave the kitchen as fast as you could, and even as you briskly walked away, you could feel Yeonjun smirking behind you.

————-　★　-———— . ————-　★　-————

"I don't know how I feel about it, honestly." You say as you plop down on one of the couches in Chaewon's living room after school that day. 

"My best friend and my boyfriend becoming step-siblings? Who would have thought..." Chaewon says with a smile, though you couldn't tell if it was a sarcastic smile or one that was of genuine nature. 

"I know my mom's been a notorious magnet for rich dudes but I never thought she would end up in the arms of Choi Minjun, tsk. This is driving me nuts." You whine out, pulling at your hair and punching the throw pillow repeatedly.

"You do know there's some business strategy side to this, right unnie?" Minjeong suddenly speaks up. The youngest in your group rarely opened her mouth, which is why all four of you were all ears whenever she decides to give her input on things. 

"How so?" You ask, trying to make sense of the situation and guessing where she was going with this statement.

"Mm well... Yeonjun oppa's dad owns a lot of properties, and you guys own a lot of department stores.. So if your companies merge... Then, your mom can expand to more places and oppa's dad will acquire more patrons because of the brand - since your mom does have an insane amount of fans. It will be the merger that everyone in Korea will be talking about." 

"Wow.. I never really thought of it that way." You say in a hushed tone, trying to put the pieces together. 

"At this rate you'll be richer than all three of us combined. With the exception of Chaewon, of course." Yeji says in a joking manner, her statement causing Chaewon to flip her hair over her shoulder. 

You laugh it off, "Ah, well- that's.. that's really not my concern now. All I know is that my mother needs to get her life together.." 

"Well look at the bright side y/n, at least you get to look after my baby for me," Chaewon interjects, putting her hand over her chest. "You know, you can report to me and tell me if there are girls who try to flirt with him and all that. You’re basically going to be his younger sister anyways." She points out, nodding her head a few times. 

You stay silent, suddenly remembering that one little fact that his dad gave away at dinner.

He was still bringing random girls home at this point. 

There was an inner battle in you suddenly - should I say something? Or should I keep it under wraps since their relationship isn’t my business anyway? Something prompts you to go for the latter, not open your mouth and just nod.

You'd rather not be caught in the middle of the drama.

————-　★　-———— . ————-　★　-————

As expected, there was another party that night at Chaewon’s house.

There were indeed perks to being inheritors to future companies: your parents were more often than not, too busy to take note of anyone's whereabouts. Which is why you have the luxury to party whenever you wanted.

Surprisingly, you were actually in the mood to party then. As you’ve managed to down a few shots of soju as well as soju bombs with Yeji.  

And not surprisingly, Chaewon was all over Yeonjun that night.

You could feel him staring at you from time to time though. Nevertheless, you don't think much of it- as you’ve always made it a point not to.

He's probably waiting for me to f*ck up or something so he can tattletale on me to my mom next time we have a ‘family’ meal. 

“How’s my favorite girl?” Soobin’s voice made its presence known as he wraps his arm around your neck and pulls you into a hug. Your arms instinctively wrap around his torso, and you stay that way for a few minutes. 

“Ah- y/n! Before I forget! Remember how you were looking for that limited edition version of that manga we both loved?!” He asks as you pull away from the hug. You, of course, nod quickly.

The two of you have a lot of similarities, and your love for mangas and graphic novels was one of them. 

In a swift motion, he then pulls out something from his bag. And lo and behold, in its pristine condition, was the same novel you've been searching high and low for. 

“WHAT! NO WAY!!!” You shout over the music, enough to draw attention from the people around you. You envelop him in another excited hug out of gratitude. “I can’t believe you found it?! How did you do it? I had my mom’s assistant look all over for it. Even my grandparents’ staff were searching for it.” 

“Ah well, I have my connections. You’re not the only one, y/n.” Soobin winks as soon as you pull away to take the manga and read through the back cover. 

The rest of the night was spent with Soobin and a few more soju bottles. And by the end of the night, you were feeling the ugly effects of alcohol. 

Cuddled up with him on one side of the couch, with the two of you talking about all the animes you’ve watched the past week. It was pretty fun to have someone with whom you could nerd out, especially in a group of socialites such as the one you both have. 

“Ah, you’re remarkable. I can’t believe you like the same things I do.” He said, pinching your nose which causes you to scrunch it upwards. 

“y/n...?” He suddenly grows quiet after a few moments of just staring at each other. 

“H-huh?” You ask, your forehead creasing in curiosity. Unfortunately, right on time, your vision starts to blur, and the dimmed-out lights in the living room turned party area wasn’t helping. “W-what is it?” 

“C-can I k-kiss-- Y-yah.. y/n?! Hey! You ok?!”

That was pretty much the last thing you hear before passing out. 

And that was it, your dear old friend alcohol got the better of you, knocking you out on his lap. 

————-　★　-———— . ————-　★　-————

“Yeonjun, I don’t understand, you know I can bring her home safely.” 

Was I dreaming? 

“I know, but I promised her mom I’d take care of her, and that’s what I’ll do so hand her over.” His voice didn’t falter, standing firm to the promise he made to your mom.

W-wait.. I can’t see anything.. I can’t open my eyes. I’m still dizzy,  I can only hear faintly.. Ah, what is happening to me?!.. 

“Pff, alright, fine Jjunie.. But you better not try any funny business.” 

You could feel another pair of strong arms underneath you, cradling you as you shifted. The air is crisp and cold as it brushes through your legs. You were outside.

“Babe! Where are you going?! You can let Soobin handle her and the party’s not over yet.” 

That was Chaewon’s voice..

“I have to go Chae, I’ll bring her home first and make sure she’s settled. I’ll see you tomorrow in school hmm?” 

————-　★　-———— . ————-　★　-————

You wake up to music, a hummed lullaby of sorts. It was soothing and pleasant to hear. You can feel the soft mattress under your tired body. With how familiar it all felt, you could tell you were in your bed.

Apart from that, you can feel someone stroking your hair. 

Your eyelids felt so heavy as you open them, curious to see who it was. But you could barely see, vision still blurry no thanks to the after-effects of alcohol.

Add that, and the fact that it was rather pitch dark around your room- signaling that all the lights were off.

Someone was in your room, that you knew. Because you can hear him and his melodic humming, and whoever it was- he was unmistakably sitting at the edge of your bed next to you. 

“O-ow..” You croak out, feeling the throbbing in your head.  Pressing the palm of your hand against your forehead almost immediately, the melodic, soft voice cuts as you note the mattress' weight shift when the person beside you leans in to check on you.

“y/n, don't get up, just get some rest…” That voice, you know who it belongs to, but it took you a while to process it. 

Yeonjun’s voice? 

Even though you wanted so badly to keep your eyes open and verify if your guess was correct, you've had way too much to drink to keep up.

You couldn’t believe it though. How can someone so rugged and nonchalant about things have such a sweet voice? Plus, the mere idea that he’s here to make sure you're okay- that definitely does not seem like something he’d do. 

Or have you had a skewed vision of him this whole time?

Soon after, You feel his lips against your forehead. His soft buds leave a small peck and a tingling sensation on your skin, and you swore your cheeks felt a lot more heated than it was before.

At that point, you weren't sure if it was all a dream. You feel your stomach churn. Was it butterflies? Nah, it must be the soju. You tell yourself.

“Sweet dreams, y/n.” And with that, you drift off into dreamland.

Tart, not torte!

Greaseball refuses to use autocorrect, so unfortunately for Dinah, her texts are illegible, so when Greaseball wants a sweet treat a little mistake is made

READ ON A03 OR BELOW THE CUT

Greaseball had woken up annoyed, her muscles were aching, her hair was clinging to her face and her neck was sweaty, she was craving something she couldn't quite place and Dinah was nowhere to be seen.

Greaseball glanced over to the clock on the nightstand, it had only just gone past 6 AM, there was no need for Dinah to be up this early, her shift never started until hours after Greaseball. It was Greaseball who always woke up early, kissing her girlfriend awake before heading out for the morning shift, so Dinah being out of bed made so much sense.

Especially considering today was Diesel's day off and Dinah had promised to cuddle her for most of the morning.

Greaseball reached for her phone, swatting away her work one to grab her one, her and Dinah's smiling faces greeting her as she switched it on.

Immediately Greaseball hit Dinah's contact and sent her a text.

"Wher are you"

It didn't take long for the response to come through, and the sound of movement down the hallway just confirmed it.

"I'm in the kitchen, are you alright?"

"Hungry"

Greaseball could hear Dinah's chuckle from the kitchen, a sound the Diesel loved.

"What are you hungry for? I can make breakfast or something to keep in the fridge for you"

Greaseball paused for a moment, she knew she was craving something, but what it was exactly she didn't know, that was until a few minutes of thought she knew exactly what it was, although not actually what it was called, how couldn't she remember something so simple?

"choclate thingy"

"Chocolate thingy? Pain au chocolat?"

Greaseball rolled her eyes, why couldn’t she just remember what it was called, it was right on the tip of her tongue… then it hit her.

"NO cholate tort"

"Oh Chocolate torte, I'll make you one :)"

Yeah, that sounded about right, she knew Dinah would know exactly what she wanted.

Greaseball found herself for most of the morning lazing in bed, watching movies on her laptop and occasionally scrolling through Twitter reading the many, many, thirst posts about herself and Dinah, some of which she liked and retweeted.

It was a perfect morning.

As lunch neared, Dinah slid into the bedroom, her apron still on, patches of flour on her face and in her hair.

"The torte is done, do you want it with lunch or dinner?"

"Dinner," Greaseball chuckled, not paying too much attention to her girlfriend, but to the terrible candid photos of Electra that she had been tagged in.

"Are you being mean online again?" The dining car asked shaking her head, "You're going to get in trouble again."

"It's not my fault they're so stupid-looking" Greaseball continued laughing, turning her phone around to show the photos to Dinah.

"I thought you were friends now?"

"We are, doesn't mean they aren't stupid though."

Dinah couldn't help but laugh at her girlfriend's pouting face as she continued scrolling, "They keep tagging me in things to annoy me."

"Like what?"

"Like this!" With that, Greaseball shoved her phone in Dinah's face, although Dinah didn't get the big deal.

It was the sweetest picture of Rusty she had ever seen, taken by Pearl, His cheeks rosy red and the cutest smile she had ever seen, above the photo, though seemed to be the problem, it read;

"He is the sweetest babygirl to ever babygirl ISTG he needs to win again cause I want rusty merch"

"He isn't babygirl!" Greaseball spat throwing her phone onto the bed, "I want torte now!"

Dinah started to laugh harder, hand clutching her stomach, "You're so dramatic," she wheezed out.

"I'm not dramatic, and Electra does this on purpose! They do it just to annoy me!"

Dinah managed to get her breathing under control after a few minutes, making a mental toll to thank Electra for the good laugh, although she was pretty sure it was Killerwatt who actually ran Electra's social media, since like the Diesel, Electra couldn't be trusted...which meant it must have been Killerwatt tagging Greaseball in that post which caused another round of laughter.

Greaseball rolled her eyes as she pushed past to head to the kitchen, Dinah's laughter following after.

There it was, on the kitchen counter, a chocolate torte, dusted with icing sugar on top.

Dinah's arms wrapped around her waist, "Are you going to have a slice?"

"What is it?" Greaseball asked eyebrows knitted together in confusion, Dinah's face soon mimicked hers.

"Chocolate torte…that's what you asked for."

"No, I asked for-" Greaseball stopped, damn dyslexia, and damn herself for not using autocorrect.

"What did you want?" Dinah had pulled away to stand face to face with her, though luckily she knew Greaseball well enough not to be offended.

"I thought you just said tart really weird," Greaseball started to laugh.

"Tart!" Dinah yelled, hysterical laughing starting up again, "You- You, wanted a tart!"

"That's what I said!"

The kitchen was filled with the laughter of both girls, holding onto each other so they wouldn't fall.

"Okay- okay," Dinah started, a hand to her chest trying to get a hold of her breathing, "Eat the torte and I'll make you a tart for later."

Greaseball nodded her face bright red, shoulders shaking, not even attempting to talk because she knew as soon as she opened her mouth she would just start laughing again.

"I love you so much," Dinah spoke, standing up on her stoppers to kiss Greaseball, "even though you need to use autocorrect."

Yeah, this was the best day off ever.

TDP: general thoughts about s7 (spoilers, duh)

Sooo I know it's been a week, but I wanted to get some of my thoughts about season 7 out. I'll be posting more TDP stuff for a while after this too. I haven't posted on tumblr in like 5 years (my old blog is @trailmixstar-blog) but the possible end of this show made me come out of hibernation.

So some general points I wanna make first:

AAAAAAAADHDKDKSFDJSKSK

I can't believe the arc is over omg

I've been following this show since the day it came out

I was such an early fan that I had a Rayllum fic on Wattpad that was top 10 in #thedragonprince

And now it may be over?????? FU-

Someone hold my hand

Now, some specific things I liked about this season:

Finally the Ruthari reunion 🥺

Kosmo and Wanda Astrid being relevant

Cute Rayllum moments

Also angsty Rayllum moments that almost gave me a heart attack

Ezran actually does something this season

It might be an unpopular opinion but I like what they did with Ezran's character, I might make a separate post about it later

Aanya is the queen we need but don't deserve

Human Aaravos is such a silly lil guy

Sorvus should've been canon but I enjoyed their banter nonetheless

The dry baguette is somehow still in the lodge

And so many other callbacks to earlier seasons

Terry finally joins the good side

Karim is still such a little bitch istg

(His death was gruesome but I still laughed)

Love how Callum still insists on using his elfsona even though the war is long over

Claudia's new armor? *chef's kiss*

Things I liked less:

Did- did they seriously confirm the Harrow bird theory in the last few minutes? Seriously?? Is this a joke to them? What's he been doing for over 2 years? Just eating worms while watching the potential end of the world?

Is it just me or was Aaravos dumbed down a little? Like him saying Callum's name while trying to give him the poisoned apple, like that's such an obvious mistake. And I didn't really understand why he killed the bird in front of Terry? He knew Terry would be upset, potentially leave and inform everyone about Aaravos returning. Was there a purpose?

I feel like the explosives could've been used more, but maybe if the series continues they'll be relevant then

Many things were left openended, many unanswered questions. What will happen to the novablade? And the evil coin? What about Miyana and her baby? And the self-eating to stay immortal they discovered? Was Harrow seriously the bird all this time?????

Overall, I really liked this finale. I especially loved all the callbacks to earlier in the show. When Aaravos said an archdragon's bite can kill a Startouch elf, I immediately thought of how Zym's bite was the only thing that could break Rayla's armband thingy in season 1. Was that subtle foreshadowing? Also, Runaan was the one who taught Rayla to sweep the leg!! And she used it against Soren, who said sweeping the leg wasn't a thing in swordfighting. Nice.

I think they tied up quite a few things in the plot, but left a bunch of unanswered questions for a potential continuation. I'm really curious about the self-eating, since I think it could be an important factor in a future arc.

That's it for now. Like I said, I'll make some more TDP posts for a while, but I'll probably mainly become a Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss focused blog after that.

If you read this far, thanks for the attention <3

[theysaidhush]

I have hard thoughts and I saw you asking for them... So... You know I.N from skz, that man makes me feel things istg. So I'm wondering what your thoughts on kinks for him? Because I've got a hand kink just for him I think💀

Anyways, have a great day/night and if you're not comfortable with doing this then that's fine ❤

When I.N is kinky 👀

I think that Jeongin definitely has a thing for clothed sex.

Man just post soooo many OOTD and he dresses well, so he would definitely be into clothed sex. Just- imagine. Jeongin would call you over or go in your bedroom or studio or whatever and pick a pretty outfit for you to wear. You both would be giggling and ogling at each other, it's cute and all, until there's something in him that tells him to take you right now, right here. Seeing you wear the outfit he picks for you is a big turn on for him, I think he would get horny immediately, begging you to let him take you, to make you feel nice, to let him fill your tiny cunt with his big dick because you look so cute in those outfit. He wouldn't take his clothes off, nor yours, kinda feel like he would just lower his pants enough so he can slam his cock in your pussy again and again. Bonus point if your chewing on the hoodie he gave you because he makes you feel too good. Dude would definitely cum on your now ruined clothes and take a pic, then add it to his private file named "OOTD <3".

I also think that Jeongin would be into role-play ?

It's literally so cliché but I can see him being into 'teacher-student' role-play. You would act it out, wearing a short and tight skirt with glasses and all the teacher sht fantasy, and he would wear a fake uniform. Now we know that Jeongin does not like school, dude was literally missing every classes, I still don't get how he got his certificate but that's not the point. In one of your fantasy you would tell him what a bad student he is, that he needs to get punished, but hey, you're talking to Yang Jeongin, he's the maknae on top! You end up being the one who's punish. He would do some dirty talk, but nothing to heavy and nothing you're not comfortable with. But he would definitely show false empathy as he's literally bending you over the desk in your bedroom, going at an awful pace, not letting you catch your breath as he circles your clit and make you gag on his long and beautiful fingers. He would coo at your whimper or the way you're trying to grab something to ground yourself. Yeah Jeongin loves making you gag on his finger, argue with the wall. He would tell you what a bad professor you are, telling you that he's the one teaching you things instead as you're drooling and panting. He can't help but laugh at your pitiful state.

Last but not least, I think that since he's the younger in his group, the baby, he wants to show them that he is a man too. So exhibitionistm.

Yeah. But only at the dorms though. He's got nothing to prove to randoms and only his members would get to see you like he does. He wouldn't go in front of them and hump you like the horny boy he is. Noooo, that's to light, e wouldn't prove anything except that he's always horny when you're around - which he is??? He would fuck you late at night in the living room, telling you to be quiet since everyone's sleeping even though the sound of his skin slapping against yours his louder than your moans - 'cause Dady bread would go all out, he's got a point to prove. But the thing is that he knooooows. He knows that Minho was still at the dance studio, practicing, and that he would come home soon. And when it happens ? Is he surprised when and glances at the door only to see Minho standing here, dumbfounded as his youngest brother his deep inside your guts, making out with you while he's playing with your tits? The dancer can't see anything but your fucked out expression hanging from the couch's armrest, and he have ears. And no Jeongin isn't, but Minho sure is. His big rond eyes looking at his Maknae's sweaty upper body as the latter is frowning and closing his eyes with a cocky smirk plastered on his face. Is Minho getting hard because at the sight of you face, wet because of the tears spilling from your eyes ? he sure is, what a sight. And Jeongin wouldn't stop. No, he would just hide his smile in your neck, trying to rock your body harder so that his Hyung can hear how good his sweet Donsaeng is making you feel.

Does he asks you to ride him in Chan's studio when the older is out for food, even though he knows that he'll come back soon? Yes.

Does he 'accidentally' sends Hyunjin a text, telling him to meet him in a fitting room because he needs his opinion when in fact he was just hitting you from behind, grip tight on your hair, forcing you to look at Hyunjin's boner because he had no other choice but to come in and stay? Yes.

So yeah, I think I.N would be into clothed sex, exhibitionistm and role-play. But it's my opinion at the moment. Ask me another day, when my mood is different, and I might tell you something else lol.

IWTV S2 Ep2 Musings

I absolutely adore the title cards; the "fangs" reflecting main locations of the episodes/seasons. GOD this show's attention to detail.

We open with Lou & Claud in Paris bickering about French & money; already shown in the Pix11 preview (I gave my opinions on the full scene, and another post about Claudia specifically.

Then we get Dubai. O_O Omfg. I made a separate post all about Louis & Loumand, cuz those queens were DIABOLICAL this episode.

Skipping ahead a bit! To the coven/theatre! ^0^

Ohhhh....that's a Children of Satan/Darkness nod! 👀 Only thing's that the old guard from the CoS/D actually weren't part of the Coven/Theatre anymore by the time Louis & Claudia arrived (Alessandra, Eleni, and the rest of Rhoshamandes' fledglings Santino indoctrinated & had train Armand).

So Armand is REALLY showing off, tryna impress Louis; cuz none of the members of THAT Theatre troupe are older than Armand, and not even he's as old as Charlemagne. Armand, your yaoi is showing. XD

It's wild how on one hand we have the coven simping over how pretty Louis is (except Santiago, cuz ofc 🙄); while just HATING on Claudia.

Naw, let her stay! Estelle is THIRSTY and I love her for it, bless! XD

Santiago, you shady wench, you're already on my hit list, BUFFOON; but THIS striped heifer, Celeste--

Wench, are all Parisian vampiresses frumpy busted haters like YOU?

Anyways. 🙄 I hate this effing coven already. 😒

Foreshadowing AF, Mr. I Could Not Prevent It.

Sure, Jan. 🙄 But not all violence/abuse/trauma is physical/sexual. By allowing the Theatre to put their hands on Claudia, Armand harmed Louis more than anyone ever could. Claudia was the glue keeping Louis together when he was already falling apart, and he hasn't been right ever since. BOTH of these dudes are living in a fantasy, frikkin la-la-land, as they think they're HELPING e/o, going thru all these theatrical acts & performances. But are they REALLY happy? Esp. cuz we know who's endgame for them in the books. It's bittersweet, cuz their affection's REAL. But this weird codependency just isn't healthy or right. U_U

Eff you, Daniel Hart. tryna make me cry!

Eff you, Daniel Hart, tryna make me laugh!

This scene with the naked lady (Annika) was SO GOOD! I'm glad they tastefully didn't fully show her whole body like they did in the film--if we can't see full frontal nudity for the dudes, then I don't wanna see it on the gals either. 😤 Fair's fair!

But WOAH, the sexckshuhality~!

👻💀⚰️

I don't even have words for this! 😅 Claudia! Let the man win ONCE!?

But I LOVE how candid this show is about everything from sexuality to race--and ofc discrimination.

Oh they're cooking. O_O

THEY ACTUALLY SPOKE ON THE FACT THAT ARMAND'S A BROWN ASIAN DARKER SKINNED THAN REDBONE LDPDL, I'M SHOOK--COLOR CONSCIOUS AWARD GOES TO~~~!

Armand gets to lead the coven through meritocracy, not racial privilege. HOWEVER, we've got bleach-blonde Santiago still waiting in the wings, so.... I can't wait to see more of their dynamics.

We been knew, Louis, it's ok. U_U

Armand clearly been knew, too! Like: Yeah, I'm not surprised he's cruising all the gay parks--I could tell by the way that American walked! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I KNOW this bish ain't talking, not Mr. Polynesian Marys! Not Mr. I Did What I Had To Do To SCORE. Not Mr. We Met In A GAY Bar. Not Mr. Black Tar And Heroin! Not Mr. Is Alicia Even REAL!? I KNOW he's not tryna shade Louis for cruising, when his closeted arse can't even handle being in a room with Armand making come-hither eyes!

I love Daniel, how he's written & acted, but ISTG I hate his character.

As opposed to Santiago, who is just--BRUH. WERK.

And this is exactly what Lestat was getting at, too. And why Akasha was wrong when she said men are the problem. Like, don't get me wrong, THEY ARE, but chile, ALL HUMANS are the problem; eff gender. Homegirl sold that old dude down the frikkin river, just to save her own skin, and her family's. COMPLICIT. OFFAL.

Santiago's disgusted by humanity, and Annika proved his point.

As for Lestat, his cold willful detachment stems from his attitude that humans are just The Meat. This version of Lestat is SO dang jaded, that humans are reduced to mere food--just like he called Miss Lily.

He doesn't need the Evil Doer creed, if he thinks ALL humans are evil/irredeemable; only worth living if they can sing & make music or something artistic. Otherwise who cares? (Which makes it VERY interesting to see what AMC!Les would say to Memnoch the Devil....)

Speaking of....

I frikkin knew it. ISTG Lestat must be asleep in 2022--if y'all have him do a Merrick and wake up in the finale, I will pass out and DIE.

The question is: WHAT put him to sleep? Is he just sad & grieving post-trial? WTF is Raglan James doing in 2022? Are we post-Memnoch? Where are TWMBK? I NEED ANSWERS, AMC! 😭

[esote-rika]

babe the Chip x reader x Spencer fic?????

Who have you permission to cook so hard like 😩😩😩 I’m still in a daze honestly. When you get free, I wanna hear more abt it from you (if it’s not a bother ofc)

anyways, love you & your mind😘

hi lovey thank you so much! It's not a bother at all, I can't remember when exactly I had an idea, I just know @mggslover and I were talking about it as a joke (because in theory it was hot but I was like,,, how would it even work??? And it isn't even an original idea, there was already one where Chip was Spencer's twin brother right here written by TJ, give her some love) but then it was also brought up in another conversation by @beenreidingaboutyou to which lover was like, go drop a request in erika's ask box right now. Anyway more under the cut because this process was chaotic and long and I'm a yapper, pls brace urself.

I saw the request, and then just... Man I wish I was more methodological with how I write but I was seriously just possessed by some avatar of lust and horniness who offered me visions and plot and instructed me to write LMFAO. I just remember those comparison pictures of celebrities who looked alike and I thought hey, that could work, maybe they just look eerily similar and reader is willing to do anything to get dick (not very feminist of me ik oops). I think I wrote the parts with Chip first and got through those so easily, but when it came time to write the actual threesome I started getting second thoughts because I've never written one before lol.

And then the avatar of lust lost the battle against my anxiety™ because apparently the one thing stronger than lust is my crippling anxiety so it sat in my drafts for weeks (initially I was planning to post this on Easter. I am Catholic, granted not even really strictly practicing but still, could you believe my fucking audacity. I think it was one of those rare moments where I felt shame lol also if you look back at my posts and my last fluff fic, you'd know I fell and bruised my knees SO badly during holy week, which felt like a literal sign from god to stop being horny diskfkenke)

But I finally just sat down this Sunday because I knew this weekend would be the last free time I'd get until around June (hiatus coming, sad 😭) so I was like you're posting this tonight erika istg stop being a wuss and just write. So I did and got into the groove of the smut (I could probably still improve on some things but for the first time, I don't think it's that bad). BUT THEN I PINCHED A NERVE IN MY BACK ISTG IT'S LIKE THE UNIVERSE WAS TELLING ME TO STOP WRITING THIS FIC. I even told Eliza about it, lamenting because I was finally gaining momentum, only to pause because I was in so much pain. But I stretched and it got to a more manageable pain level so I was able to continue lol guys this fic actually had so much physical hurdles wtf I'm laughing so hard rn.

Also the build up to the actual threesome was hard! I think that's the last part I wrote (like I said, my process is messssssy I jump around parts and write whatever comes to mind and figure it out in the end lol, absolutely no outlining happened for this fic whatsoever). Reading it back it still feels rushed but you know, if I added more it probably would have broken through 10k words and like... No that would break me and I'd probably never write again. And at that point, I was already numb and delirious from the pain and the transitions didn't read terribly, so I reminded myself that it's really not that serious (it is to me but like,,, copium y'know, because if I continued to nitpick and edit and pore over every word, I knew this fic was never getting done.) Besides, it's just the transitions anyway who tf cares we're here for the smut.

So yeah! Two painful injuries and 7.5k words later, there's my uh, unhinged masterpiece. Sorry this took so long, I've truly just never had my process be impeded by SO MUCH physical issues like, yeah the other ones I get anxiety and writing blocks occasionally, but getting hurt TWICE during the process of writing this is crazy lmfao nothing was on my side but ah, we persist. The horniness won. I'm happy you enjoyed!!!!

[rinsuniverse]

Hiiii I keep reading your work like everyday, I just love it and hope you’re doing well!! I absolutely live for a flushed woozi, could you do a thing on what you think would make him flustered???

Thanks a million for making my day better just with your little posts, you deserve all the praise! ❤️

how you make woozi flustered! ✧˖°.

lots of things make our brilliant producer, woozi, flustered!

but here are some things his s/o will do that'll make him blush uncontrollably

when you're at the gym with him and you spot him

as he does a weight that's typically heavier than his usual, you say things like

"you got this! just breathe through this set!"

and "come on, just do one more rep for me"

he's already flushed, his ears a bright red

but it isn't until you say something along the lines of "you looked really good doing that rep. like hot." while you're taking a water break with him

that he spits out his water and is hiding his face in his hands

if you compliment him in public, he can't help but feel flustered

the best way to make him flustered is to do physical contact

like literally any physical contact

if you're at his studio

and you walk over to his desk and peer over his shoulder to see his work

and you smile and pat his head because

BECAUSE HES SO CUTE STFU

he's gonna stop everything and turn to you as you walk away nonchalantly like

"what the-" "what was that for-" "pff what the heck-"

and his cheeks are turning a bright shade of pink

if you're out in public with seventeen and they all want to separate into pairs to do groceries

you might grab jihoon's hand and put your hands in the air saying "i'll go with woozi!"

and jihoon is staring between your interlocked fingers and your happy face

and he can't help his ears turning red

he's trying to play it cool, but the fact that all of his members are looking at the two of you holding hands has him so flustered

poor baby's ears and cheeks are burning

endless praise will make our rice bowl super flustered, too

one time when you were personally invited to seventeen's concert by him

and you're sitting in the front row

you have your carat bong and you're bopping your head to the music

when woozi is in the center of the stage singing his lines

you scream "WOOHOO!! YOU'RE SO HANDSOME, WOOZI!!"

and he literally has to fight all of his might to not break character

you're sitting there laughing at yourself because you see him trying to hide his smile

or maybe he's hiding his cringe?

but it's still hilarious

as he's performing the rest of the song, his whole face is red, istg

but when the members ask, he brushes it off as the spotlights were too hot while he is dancing

when you quietly sneak backstage to see him

the blush returns to his face and he can't even face you for a few minutes

"wow, that was so cool," you say, nudging him. "i can't believe you're mine."

HE-

he's clenching his heart. kicking his feet. punching the air.

just kidding, he's sitting there with a stale face, making sure you can't tell how embarrassed he is right now

but you notice

because his ears are bright red

he's literally yours, though

so yeah! thank you so much for requesting, and i'm so sorry it took so long! i forgot i started working on this and put it in my drafts tbh. but here you go! feel free to request many, many more things! ✧( ु•⌄• )◞◟( •⌄• ू )✧

(p.s. requests are still open! i specialize in woozi stuff, but i don't mind writing about other svt members! i can also do some nsfw if you want! so request whatever and as much as you want! ς(>‿<.))

My Tribute to Shorts Wars

(Spoilers for all 3 seasons and the finale) (and chat istg I'm trying to keep this 'short' BUT I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS I JUST CAN'T)

I was a fan since day one. It was the first week of summer for me, after one of the worst school years I've ever had (at the time). It instantly became a hyperfixation.

One of my only memories from that summer was watching and rewatching shorts wars, being ecstatic for every video, it gave me a routine to follow and a community to stand behind.

That summer was possibly one of the hardest times of my life so far. Hell, the Dear Danno channel is probably a reason why I'm still here today. Shorts Wars got my through it.

The build-up to season two was probably the lowest point in my life, mentally, at least. The anticipation for a new wave of theorising, content and joy got me through it all.

I remember sitting on the school bus right after my final class would end, and I'd watch the everyone's short for the day on the way home. It was truly a 'you-had-to-be-there' thing for me.

The only reason I have a discord account is so I could join the boss's server, and on there I met my first internet friends, who I've stuck with ever since (if you're reading this guys, thanks for being so nice to me this whole time :]).

And tumblr, oh boy tumblr... I won't sugar coat it, it's been a hell of a ride that's for sure (in a good way, the best way possible). It wasn't that long ago that I was squealing over the moss arc 'final' fight and making my first roleplay blog (Joe Caine). And now I have like 11+ alt blogs, I've met A MUTUAL IRL (you were so cool to meet and talk to if ur reading this :3).

And oh boy this is long as fuck so I'm gonna wrap this up-

Season 3 came at a great time for me, I've made so many friends bc of this, my art's improved, my mental state has improved and this ARG has been my constant through all the shit I've gone through in the last 12 months (ish).

I've laughed, I've screamed, I've cried and I've almost thrown up out of fear, joy and overall sickness. All in the last 2 hours. I bet some quotes from the finale will engrain into my skull, become inside jokes and/or vocal stims and I hope I never forget any of it. The good, the bad and the scary.

From the bottom of my heart,

Thank you Rumble Pack and anyone who's worked on Shorts Wars. I hope you're as proud of what you did as we all are, and I hope YOU GET SOME SLEEP BECAUSE GOOD GOD-

-Oak (aka Alex bc signing this long-ass kinda depressing post off with a silly internet name seems odd-)

~BERSERK~

Okay so I guess the 4th season is just gonna be a remake of the first but in 13 episodes instead of 24..? But omg

I only watched one episode. Screenshots here ya go:

Someone stole their melanin 😭

WHY ARE ANIMATORS SO AFRAID OF DRAWING DARKER CHARACTERS. BE MORE LIKE NARUTO ISTG (just on that note hehe)

I know Guts has already been lightened since the first season but his skin blends with the tent in this scene pfff bro is the color of mayonnaise

Guys, I think Griffith wants him lololol

I had to pause here. I started laughing so loud bkdhfkvk the show somehow got gayer and not even my boy Guts is skipping past it bmxhcjvk XD

I chose not to mention the bed scene cause i still wanna vomit thinking about it. I do love, however, how Casca punched Guts so hard he keeled over with spit running from his mouth. I think that's the strongest I've seen her be this whole show 🥲

Mwah give him a kiss kiss. The art style now looks kinda like Jojo's part 1 and I am not complaining

Edit:

Okay somehow Guts went back to his original ish color? Bros a chameleon.

Edit #2:

Btw I feel as though i forgot to mention in my first Berserk post...

No. Women do not get a high fever when on our period. We also don't just pass out. Fainting can happen, though, but not commonly like... Also, I love how no one mentions how the crap Casca is dealing with the blood. I assume she's just bleeding out, I guess. Blood everywhere. Never getting that out of your clothes in that age. NOT TO MENTION A S3X SCENE. BLOODY S3X. AAUGH

I doubt even a single women looked at the script before these dudes published it in the manga... and show... and remake...

EDIT #3:

HOLY SH!T THEY CUT OUT THE S3X SCENE I'M SO HAPPY THEY'RE FRIENDSS NOT LOVERS YAY

Also

HAHAGAHA

And

...they let Casca save herself for once like the strong women she's supposed to beee 😭😭😭

THE BARE MINIMUM MAKES ME SO HAPPY

But why we gotta see her b00bs out bro

[daisychains111]

live "tweet" books with me (via the Goodreads progress bar) pt. 4 and 4.5 The ACOTAR series by Sarah J. Maas

(I didn't do the entire book for acotar or acomaf so I'm putting them both here, I'm also putting Frost and Starlight here bc it's so short. I did all of Wings and Ruin so it will be a whole other post)

A Court of Thornes and Roses

 I'm reading this book again and praying it will keep me out of a reading slump

Feyre saying she hates the smell of books is WIIILLLLDDD...the disrespect smh

I know that Tamlin turns out to be the scum of the earth but I can't remember if we still like Lucian...I hope we do bc I love him and Fayre's bestie vibes

RHYSAND IS THAT YOU!!! BESTIIEE

GAG

Lucian really said "I'm getting THE FUCK outta here" he has zero patience for their bs

bribery for a kiss is gross...boo Tamlin

Rhys is the high lord of night court, right...like he's the one leaving heads in gardens? cause like if so SLAY

Rhys don't be a snitch, it isn't a good look

Nesta's important later isn't she? cause her following fayre is not nothing

The way that this is like millimeters from being a standalone book will never not be hilarious.

A Court of Mist and Fury

Rhys crashing her wedding is annoying (kinda bc she clearly didn't want to get married) but also so slay of him

I love it when characters throw shoes...a very underrated form of micro mirco mirco troup

 you are saying a lot of names...all of them slightly familiar...I've very excited"

live laugh love....Lucian siding with Feyre bc I love him and I hope he stays on her side

referring to themselves as males and females is a little too omagaverse for my liking

ngl yall I miss Lucian...like fuck tamlin he's a bitch but Lucian has never done anything wrong in his life

giggling blushing kicking my feet

I didn't know Tamlin was gonna side with the evil king guy...but I KNEW and I'm not at all suprised

I wish I had read this years and years ago when I started it the first time because OH MY GOD

(See part 5 for Wings and Ruin)

A Court of Frost and Starlight

Feyre using "older than Rhys" as a measurement of time is my new favorite thing

period positivity or whatever but I HATE HATE HATE when it's talked about in books...makes me uncomfy

Az is so sweet trying to not get invested in Elain but seriously dude, kick Lucian out of there

Sweet Azrial...if you don't get Elain a gift I'll throttle you

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAHA Cassian can tell when Nesta is reading smut

every Cassian chapter is just him angsting after nesta...just kiss her already

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST SAY MAN...I love these books but every time I read the word male I want to throw them all over a cliff

hehe drunk Cassian and Feyre: the best siblings-in-law ever

a court of Frost and Shadows: 232 pages of everyone and their mothers cockblocking Rhys and Feyre

Lucian...I love you, go away

Rhys, Cassian, and Azrial having a snowball fight every year on Solstice for 500 years is the cutest thing I've ever read...I love it when grown men do cutie-pie things

these people are hundreds of years old but istg they act like their 10

YES CASS GO GET YOUR GIRL

Nesta grow the fuck up

RHYS IS GIVING FEYRE HIS MOMS DRESSES STOP IM SOBBING

I love Rhys and feyre, I do....but I'm dying for Nesta and Cassian content pls

I'm gonna be honest...this had almost zero plot...got to see all the cuties doing cutie things tho...so that's a plus

Intro blog! Last updated: 15/3/25

About me:

hi~! i'm yonix_0 :D

<18, please don't get freaky in my dms (i'm lookin' at you prnbots). pronouns are she/they but i prefer she. please not he/him or it/its! or anything else for that matter-

i'm an artist (sometimes), an animator (even-less-times), rpf shipper TO THE MAX, a self-acclaimed musical genius who plays guitar occasionally, a musical-lover, a pansexual freak /lh, and an all-round force of unhinged chaos.

i am also: anemic as fuck, sleep-deprived always, and someone with diagnosed adhd + anxiety. as a taste for what you should expect lol

i don't post too too much here, but i lurk and repost sometimes, which is enough in my books. i don't have tags or sectioned fancy doo-dads, but i mostly dabble in others' stuff, so it's a needless endeavor for me to start my own tags :/.

as my bio suggests, i write and post sometimes on AO3 @yonix_0! i'm not a particularly good writer by any means, but i'm at least literate enough to write stories that i think are pretty neat! heaven knows how i've managed to even finish any wips...

Hyperfixations (and why you should join me in them):

this will be LONG. as you will see, i really like yapping abt my interests :3

-Shoot From The Hip. because who doesn't like 4 goofy, funny, fully-grown british men making fools of themselves on big stages? an improv troupe based in london who, despite most of them having partners, kiss a whole lot on stage! (it's all in good fun though, for the bit). gotta love all the lgbtq rep, along with the belly laughs and countless spit takes. the community is also the loveliest thing ever, not a single debbie downer i swear.

-Haikyuu! hey, just because the anime and manga have both ended does not mean that i will stop my obsession. (it's been half a decade, what is wrong with me). ahem. what's not to love about a genuinely amazing and accurate representation of volleyball, while also having a ton of hot characters to simp over and ship together?! kuroshou. kagehinatsukiyama. sakuatsu. osasuna. bokuakakuroken. and everything else. gotta love being a multishipper. i rest my case.

-Hamilton, Heathers, Ride the Cyclone. yes i am lumping all of my favorite musicals together because i don't want this to be 10x longer. hamilton is just, augh, so much drama and chaos and straight up death, plus actual history. addicted from first watch istg. and the music is amazing, lin-manuel miranda is cracked fr. love a good theatrical autobiography. heathers is a great representation of so many issues, esp to do with eds, health issues, suicide, manipulation, r@pe, etc. while maintaining some form of comedy. it's such a stereotype for american highschools and what most media perceives it to be, but the denouement and character development is to die for. also seventeen is my favorite song, fight me. ride the cyclone is so stupidly funny but the character arcs are overall the best out of these three, genuinely. i hated ocean sm at the beginning just for her to be in my top 3 favs. the characters are... interesting to say the least, and the songs are drama-filled (read: weird), but the premise of some choir kids +my love jane doe dying on a ride and choosing who to revive through something of a singing competition is just *chefs kiss*. love it. GO WATCH THESE MUSICALS, THEY'RE AMAZING!!!!

-Slimecicle, Chuckle Sandwich, and Just Roll With It. charlie slimecicle is one of, probably, the only genuine "mcyt"'s left (we are not about to delve into dsmp/qsmp drama dw), even though he's not technically a minecrafter anymore. enough of that, slimecicle is a gamer/ytber with the most ridiculous punny humor you will ever bear witness. and the community's inside jokes are so so unhinged, it's great over here. chuckle sandwich is a podcast that charlie, jschlatt, and ted nivison started, where they talk about whatever and sometimes invite guests. it recently ended, but i still love putting it on in the bkgd while i work :). just roll with it (jrwi) is a dnd podcast that charlie, bizly, grizzly, and condifiction host. they post their sessions biweekly, and have a multitude of public campaigns to watch through. if you're a dnd nerd or just wanna have some fun delving into a cool tabletop rpg, go give them a watch. me personally, i would love to dm or play dnd with friends, but i got no dnd friends lmao.

and that's it, for now. if you read through all that, here's a gold star ⭐️

DNI list:

zionists, racists, pedos/proshippers, homophobes/transphobes, karens in general, rpf haters, political assholes, violators of human rights, xenophobes, art/writing critics with no constructiveness whatsoever, people who make everything sexual, etc.

i'm tryna have a chill and mellow time here. get tf out.

RPF-typical disclaimer:

the point of real person (fan)fiction, is not to ship the real people that are living and breathing and roam the earth, but to ship their personalities because they seem good together in concept. take sfth's sam and luke for example. they both have a s/o, and yet i still write them together, not because i think they should cheat on their partners, but because their fanon selves often kiss in their plays and they act gay a lot.

basically what i'm saying is, i don't think the rpf stuff should be what real life is like. rpf is a simple mirror image of real life; these aren't real people i'm writing/drawing, these are just personalities, names, and appearances slapped onto ocs that i then write fanfic about.

i'm very aware that all of the things i write about real people will never come true. i'd like it to stay that way. i'd also like if none of what i write ever comes to the attention of the people i write about. yk, the whole rpf autonomy thing. unless the real people give the rpf fandom a red light and decide that they don't want to be written about, i'll write my fics in peace tyvm.

and to all of those rpf haters that i really hope have clicked off after my dni list, just because i write about real people does not give you the right to tell me to end my life.

ANYWAYS. that was a lot of yapping for an intro post that i haven't touched in like 6 months, gonna go continue binging any and all haikyuu! content i can get my hands on because i'm in my nostalgia era rn. bye~!

Love In The Air Special Episode) live reaction under the cut (long post)

Uhhhhh I watched the entire series on iQIYI and there's a special episode but it's just some behind the scenes commentary... I don't think that's it *proceeds to google* *finds actual episode on bilibili* aaaaaahhh bilibili my beloved

Lmao not Plerng trying to snatch Sky away from Pai hahahahaha

"Nong Sky, you should come this way or you'll go crazy like them" HAHAHA SHE'S ICONIC

"I didn't fight with P'Phayu. I'm just annoyed that he's attractive." Good to know our boys still have normal real-life problems

So... Sky's problem is that Pai's entire family is crushing on him and Rain's problem is that everyone is crushing on Phayu? They're so unserious omg but unserious problems are what they deserve after everything they've gone through

"No, it doesn't suit you. Take it off right now." So that's how it is huh Rain?

Hahaha my babies are so baby

"Have you ever called P'Pai 'Daddy'?" RAIN WHERE IS THIS GOING

The way he said "Daddyyy-uh!" Rain stoooppp I'm wheezing

Soooo... Phayu was acting like Rain's dad (telling him to get off his damn phone and read a book), Rain called him out on it and Phayu's brain short circuited - got it xD I love them so much

Hahaha Rain is so shameless istg

"Can I eat something else too?" 👀🍑

I'M FUCKINF WHEEZING THE FUVKING NIPPLE PINCH HAHAHA Sky sending Pai to horny jail

"Keep playing your game. I'm gonna play mine." OH MY 👀

Awwww Phayu and Prapai watching Rain and Sky being adorable and goofy 🤭❤️

Sky telling that girl to back off was too good - I absolutely love when he's being sassy 🔥❤️

He's so sassy and confident I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Besties going on a trip ayyyyy

And trying their hardest not to miss their respective boyfriends lmao

But can we please treat their friendship as just as valid and important as their relationships? Because it is 😭❤️

They didn't even tell their boyfriends?? Oh - they did. But our dumbasses still decided to look for them I guess lol

Oh poor Sig xD

Lmao Rain gave Sig the exact location and even the room HE WANTS TO BE FOUND 😂

Sig's "evil laugh" I can't- 😂

SKY IN LUFFY COSPLAY?? I mean I knew he was an otaku but I didn't know it was this bad 😂 the cosplay is 🔥🔥🔥 tho

Chilling at the pool, sipping cocktails, living the good life 😌❤️

...gets boring quickly I guess 😂

Good thing the bf's are on their way

"Don't say there's actually a ghost behind me" Rain so Baby

"You know I'll get angry if you drag me away like that, don't you?" - "You know I won't do anything against your will" THIS EXCHANGE ❤️❤️

Directly followed by "I told you not to followed me" well he's got a point lmao

HAVE I MENTIONED I LOVE SASSY SKY especially when he's bossing around his bf

Love how both of them are like "I'll forgive you but you have to do whatever I say" Rain is gonna put Phayu in a costume isn't he- HE CAME PREPARED IT'S IN HIS SUITCASE I CAN'T 😂

Oh my god Sky's rules for Pai are pure evil but like in the best way possible holy shit HAVE I MENTIONED I LOVE WHEN SKY IS LIKE THIS

"Then it must be when I punished you until you were sore. But i remember that you liked it" whyyy did we only see the other options (why Rain is angry) as flashbacks earlier but not this one? Not fair xD

"Made out with her" RAIN THEY JUST SAT NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON A COUCH CALM YOUR TIDDIES BABE

Hahaha "next outfit. Get changed now."

The kisses in this series are seriously so beautiful - idk why but they're just so satisfying 😌❤️

Omg Sky with the candles & the bathrobe and the bubble bath and Pai isn't allowed to do anything or react - really testing his self control I could neverrrrrr

The power that Sky holds over Pai 👀👀👀 I am WEAK for him omg

"You've really got no idea how greedy I am" why is that so hot I mean what-

"We've made up, but I never said your punishment was over" Sky can be so scary you almost forget he is in fact baby

Awwwwww why is everyone so cute 😭❤️

"Shall we have a beach wedding?" PROPOSING ALREADY HUH

"You must've forgotten that same sex marriage isn't legalized in this country" I love how this line perfectly fits Sky's character while simultaneously bringing attention to one of the problems same-sex couples in Thailand face in real life, reminding viewers of the injustice that still exists

"But I believe there'll be changes in the future" aaaaaa i really see this exchange as something that's kinda breaking the first wall and this line feels like it's meant to give hope to same-sex couples in Thailand (and in other countries where it's not legal yet) ❤️❤️

Also can I just say Sky looks so freaking beautiful in this scene I want to print out every frame and use them as wallpaper 😍

Also the location and outfits are the same as in the photo on Pai's desk 😭❤️😭❤️

"When you're ready, I'm gonna propose to you" YEESSSS THE HALF-PROPOSAL AND PAI WAITING FOR SKY TO BE READY AAAA IT'S EVERYTHING

Awwww everyone running into the water, flip flops floating away into the ocean lmao

Shiiiiiiit they're all so cute omg that shot with both couples just standing there SO IN LOVE and Phayu and Pai with their wet (now see-through) shirts I don't even know where to look but this is art

And I'm sure a good part of that goofy ending was just BossNoeul and FortPeat 🤭🤭

This... this is it. It's over. Omg it's over. But it's not bc I'm not done yet. Time to obsess for a couple more weeks.

dts s5 e9-10: THE FINAL POST

e9: -have not been looking forward to the christian horner episode i must say -GOD listening to everyone talk abt how dominant of a year this was for max knowing whats to come 🙃🙃🙃🙃 -this whole "well we didnt do it on purpose so its not cheating" is SO SILLY like imagine if i went to the irs like sowwy i didnt pay my taxes correctly i didnt know 🥺🥺 doesnt matter ur still getting fined lol -i have always felt that christian's whining here is Extra Obnoxious like he didnt spend YEARS going after every lil thing mercedes might've stepped wrong on. if there was a rumor that mercedes went even $100 over cost cap you KNOW he wouldn't shut up about it but when the tables turned he's such a victim -max is going to be deaf by 40 istg. insert huh cat meme that is him always. (affecionate) -"these people talk shit through the media but'll never say it to my face" have u considered its not bc theyre scared to say it to you but bc you're a rancid person they'd like to avoid interacting with. food for thought -"maybe you feel guilty, i dunno" binotto ate with that one i mean IF THE SHOE FITS -I THINK. as it was in 2020 w/ the pink mercedes. (and in 2007 with mclaren!) the penalty for the cost cap breach should've been a dock in constructors championship points. it wouldn't affect the final standings of 2021 (mercedes beat them anyway, there was a big gap to ferrari in 3rd). it would be a great way to set a strict precedent that would easily motivate teams to be very careful with the budget cap WITHOUT changing any results. FIA hire me -say what u like abt will buxton they will never make me hate you will buxton. the way he is with words explaining drama he is the caesar flickerman of f1 and if you cant appreciate it thats a you issue -showing the singapore grand prix and all i can think abt is iconic post race dando interview. yeah i'm sure the race was cool too i guess -I FUCKING FORGOT HE PULLED THE MENTAL HEALTH CARD bro is seriously like dont talk about the cheating we did think of our poor mental health 🥺🥺🥺 anyway i'm gonna go fire nyck devries midseason brb -WOMP WOMP -once again if the roles were reversed christian would be spearheading a campaign to get a mercedes title stripped be so fucking forreal -more max/gp fics. their dynamic is immaculate chefs kiss -god if lewis won this race it wouldve been so iconic. sad

e10: -ad22 top 10 daniel outfits ever. btw -um lando norris neurodivergent agenda the way he's talking about food here? something going on in that brain. when he ordered 13 spring rolls as a meal in that iconic nortrell stream? that is not a way a neurotypical person eats i swear on god -them asking charles how his season was then immediately cutting to the france crash is so mean. good narrative storytelling, but mean nonetheless -how cathartic it must be for nando to benefit from ferrari blunders lol -pre this season coming out, i remember hoping they'd have a proper focus on carlos' austria dnf. it did get a lil moment but it was, for me, the most shocking mechanical dnf of the season and i was looking forward to seeing more of the inner details of it all. oh well -cinematic parallels between merc & ferrari fighting for 2nd in 2022 AND 2023 -brazil must have some typa rule abt not having netflix there bc they always miss out on the most bangers of races. sad. i love u brazil 22 :') -"they told me i can do whatever i want. when i see carlos, put him in the wall" max i am. i am kissing u. on the mouth. mwah mwah mwah -i DO wish. the focused more on the charles v checo battle. that was simply more important. but i guess that didnt work well with the happy ending they gave checo in e7 so -"omtar might get the last laugh this time around" :)))))) for the last time babey hell yeah -FUCK hate how awkward this dando moment they chose to feature is. they're so much more than that. dts only watchers they're in love and doing the nasty on the reg i PROMISE -this daniel comp is so goofy silly now that hes coming back lmao. i do love him he is so important for the reach of f1 and drive to survive and he deserves all the love he gets -HI LOGAN SO EXCITED TO SEE MORE OF U IN THE NEW SEASON MWAH

They didn't stop hanging out for any particular reason. It wasn't sudden; there was no fight. They just faded, gradually, when minutes in between messages turned to hours turned to days turned to weeks turned to their last messages without them even realizing. When seeing each other at Terces meetings turned to never at all because Pietro was gone and there were no Midnight Sun updates. When Yo-Yoji backpacked through Europe with his family for a summer and he stopped sending post cards by the third week. When he moved across town just before Freshman Year started and enrolled in a different high school. Like they never knew each other at all.

"—OK, but, objectively—" Cass begins.

"You're using the term 'objective' very loosely and very, very incorrectly here," Max-Ernest says.

"My opinions are always objective," She throws in as an offhand comment before continuing, brushing him off. "Anyways, objectively, Spider-Man is the best superhero."

"Nope. Wrong. It's Ant-Man," Daniel says.

Cass gives him a look. "Of all the superheroes yo choose, you pick Ant-Man?"

"You wouldn't know how cool Ant-Man is; you haven't read all the comics."

"And you have?"

She stumps him. "Well, no—" he stutters, and she laughs.

Cass and Daniel started reading Marvel comic books together after he got her hooked with the latest Spider-Man movie, and even though he's probably read hundreds and she's only read maybe 10, she's adamant that Spider-Man is the all-time best superhero (which he is).

"It's called The Amazing Spider-Man for a reason."

He rolls his eyes. "You can't use the mkvied as an argument if you've literally only seen one."

"Oh, whatever. You know I'm right."

He does. He just wanted to argue because what else are (step) brothers for, right?

"This seems like kind of an unfair argument. You're not even taking DC into account. Batman is awesome," Glob says. They're coming up on their lockers now.

Cass scoffs. "You're automatically wrong if you're trying to compare DC to Marvel."

She and Daniel laugh as Glob angrily rambles about how DC is as good as Marvel and how it's his opinion and it's as valid as hers. She twists her combination into her lock; Max-Ernest distractedly does the same next to her, invested deeply in a book on the history of Mayan civilizations.

"Come on, play nice. What's in it for me?" It comes from down the hallway. She'd recognize that voice anywhere.

She's the first one to react, her head snapping up. A wave of panic washes over her as she sees him. A mad sense of danger hits her—they're strangers now. A stranger she knows everything about. Her chest is tight. Her heart hurts.

"Is that Yo-Yoji?" Her voice is even but her face is almost terrified. It's fight or flight but he's got her uncharacteristically frozen. She leapt into action confronted with lions but loses all sense of reality seeing him again.

Daniel looks up now. "Holy shit, it is! Haven't seen him in, what—?"

"A year," Cass finishes, still staring at Yo-Yoji like she's staring at a car crash. He's got his hands in his pockets as he looks down at a girl, smiling as she talks. His hair is it's natural black again with green angel ring highlights. "Who's that girl with him?" Just as she asks that, he leans down and kisses her. She swallow down the acidic taste of vomit in the back of her throat.

"Looks like his girlfriend," Max-Ernest says, finally putting his book away.

Glob peeks past everyone. "Call him over." He starts waving his hands. "Hey, Yo-Yoji!" he calls.

Yo-Yoji glances up. There's an amused look on his face at first and he waves back. Then his eyes find Cass'. His hand goes limp; his wave slows. He's not even quite sure what he's feeling, or why he's surprised to see her with her friendgroup. They didn't break apart—he broke apart from them.

He says something to his girlfriend and then he's walking towards them. He feels heavy under the weight of Cass' eyes tracking him the whole time. "Hey, guys!" he says. "Hey, Cass." His voice is softer.

She doesn't reply, keeps staring, face tense. He feels lanky and awkward, wipes his clammy hands on his jeans.

"How've you been, Yo-Yoji?" Max-Ernest asks.

"I don't go by 'Yo-Yoji' anymore, actually. It's just 'Yoji'."

Cass rolls her eyes. "Of course you do," she spits. To her, it's like he's turning his back on their past, on who they were. Like saying he's too good for it all now. Maybe that's why he left them.

His chest tightens, his lungs sort of just . . . stop. He feels hollow; she shelled him out.

An uncomfortable silence settles over the moment. It's unbearably loud, like water pressure, or nails on a chalkboard.

He swallows. "So, um . . . how've you—" Cass slams her locker close, her jaw clenched, and pushes past him with enough force he stumbles back. His eyes follow her, watching her leave. He sighs. "I'm not exactly surprised but . . . why is she so pissed at me?"

Daniel shrugs. "No clue."

Yoji looks over at Max-Ernest expectantly. Max-Ernest's face goes red. "What?"

Yoji widens his eyes, making an exasperated face. ". . . Well? Do you know?"

"No?" It comes out as more of a question.

"You're her best friend. You know her better than anyone."

"I've never know why Cass does anything she does. She's just . . . Cass."

★

It gets tired and old very quickly, trying to get her to talk to him. He waits outside her classes, follows her to her locker, begs and pleads and tries to carry conversations and all she does is keep quiet and state right through him. He even sat down at their lunch table with his girlfriend when Glob called him over but she stood and left instantly, and so Daniel followed after her, and Yoji glumly picked at his food, feeling defeated.

Cass is in her bed now, sitting cross-legged. Daniel is spinning in her wheelie chair but he stops pretty quickly because it makes him motion sick. It's 11:00 PM.

"What's with you and Yoji?" he asks, messing with a news article on her wall of horrors.

She makes a face at the lack of the extra "Yo" in his name. "Nothing," She says, maybe more aggressively than she intended.

"Sureeee," he drags out, "that's why you wouldn't talk to him all day, right?"

"It's just—ughhh." She groans and flips back on her bed.

"He hasn't done anything wrong. It wouldn't kill you to be nice, you know. Or, like, normal, at the very least."

"He's been back one day and you're already defending him over me? Your sister?"

He bites back a laugh. "How come I'm only your brother when it's convenient?"

She sees an out now. "'Cause you don't think Spider-Man is the best superhero."

"Don't change the subject." She sighs, rolls her eyes.

Then there's a tap on her window. And another. And another. She sits up. "What the fuck?" She pushes off her bed and walks to her window, pushes it open, leans out. "Ow! she exclaims. A pebble, square in between her eyes, like Goliath.

"Shit, sorry!"

She looks down. It's Yo-Yoji. Her stomach feels unsettled. "Jesus! Stalker, much?"

"Can we talk?" 

"No." She starts to walk away despite Daniel quietly protesting.

"Please, Cass—" His voice cracks and she freezes in her tracks. He takes in a deep breath to regain his composure. "Please, just talk to me."

She comes back to the window, hands on the sill. She drops her head, licks her lip. She can't bring herself to meet his eyes as she says, "Fine. I'll be down." She turns around to walk out her door and finds Daniel smiling ear-to-ear all giddy. She rolls her eyes. "Shut up."

★

A gust of wind hits her as she open the sliding glass door. She tucks herself deep into her sweater and stuffs her hands into her pockets. Yo-Yoji's standing there awkwardly, staring at his feet as he shuffles them.

"What do you want?" she asks. Her face is straight if not tense but her fingernails are digging into her palms in her pockets and her heart is beating so fast.

His head snaps up; there's hope on his face and she has to twist her head away to not let that look affect her.

"To talk."

"You said that already." She's still not looking at him. 

He let's out a heavy sigh, drags his hands down his face. "Cass, please. What did I do that was so wrong? You're the only one that's even mad at me!"

She's tensing up now, and it's building up inside her like a slow drip. Her stomach twists. Her ears are turning red. She crosses her arms and grasps them right. He's still rambling; the anger is still filling her like an overflowing sink.

"You're ignoring like we never knew each other at all—"

"You left!" she finally snaps. Her arms go flailing out and she turns to look at him. "I'm angry because you left! You stopped texting. You went to Europe without saying anything, left two postcards from France and then disappeared. You left! You left me!"

Silence washes over them, wind rustling trees in the background. She's staring through him again and he can't decide if her prefers that or her not looking at him at all.

"You didn't text me either," he says after a few moments.

Silence again.

There are tears welling in her eyes. "Is she your girlfriend?"

His face twists in confusion. "What?"

"That girl you were with. Is she your girlfriend?"

Yo-Yoji chews on the inside of his cheek. "Yes," he breathes.

She rolls her eyes and shakes her head, tongues the inside of her cheek. She scoffs—it's almost a laugh. "What am I even doing here?" It's a whisper, mostly to herself. She begins to turn to leave.

He reaches out and grabs her wrist to stop her. "Cass, don't go. I lost you once, I can't lose you again."

She scoffs. "You didn't lose me." There's almost a sliver of hope on his face. "You left." She rips her hand from his. His face drops. A tear rolls down her cheeks.

He's taking in shaky breaths. His eyes search her face for any inclination as to what she's feeling under her constant cold exterior of anger. "Why do you care so much if Grace is my girlfriend?"

She looks away, moonlight bouncing off her skin in a blue-ish glow as she looks at the trees lining the wall along her backyard. "I don't."

He makes an exasperated face. "Yes, you do! You obviously do! You can't even look at me! We don't see each other for a year and the thing you're all upset about is my girlfriend? That's such bullshit! What, do you just not like her or something? 'Cause that would be totally unfair since you've never even me—"

"You were mine first!" she snaps. She'd chewed on the inside of her cheek so hard she swore she drew blood. It was too much to keep inside anymore. And now it was out, heavy in between them, hanging cold and still like the moon in the inky black sky.

Yo-Yoji stills. Crouches back. Blinks. Breathes. Opens his mouth to speak. Falls short. Cass' heart rattles up her throat; he looks like he's short-circuiting. "What?" he whispers. "I—what? You . . . you liked me?"

She shrugs, shrinking into herself. ". . . Yeah," she says, voice trembling.

His vision is going blurry with tears. "Wh—" He rolls his lips into his mouth. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"And get rejected and ruin our friendship?"

His expression is soft and sad, defeated. ". . . I liked you back."

Her chest hollows out as the ever familiar feeling of nausea twists itself into a dizzying coil in her stomach. Another tears slips as she shakes her head slowly and clenched her jaw. Her eyes are mean, betrayed. "You liked me?!" She means it to come out angry but instead it comes out in trembling, astonished gasps, almost sobs. "How long?"

He smiles sadly. "The three point rule."

She takes in a bitter, shuddering breath. The three point rule. They were 12. "And you didn't say anything?!" she all but yells, voice squeaking.

"I thought you knew!" His voice goes quiet, gentle, unsteady. "I thought you knew, Cass."

He watches pain crods her face before it scrunches up and she dips her head, index finger and thumb spread across her eyes. She let's out a broken sob. He feels compelled to hold her but can't bring himself to even move. She takes in a deep breath and wipes away her tears, looks up at him strongly. "Go home, Yoji."

She's turning around and walking away when he grabs her wrist hard and pulls her back, spinning her back around. "What the—" Her protests are muffled against the pressure of his kiss.

She's stiff for a second from the shock before she's loosening up and melting into him as his hands hold either side of her face tenderly. Her hands lay flat against his chest.

The pull away is slow and delicate. He follows her the entire way and breathes her in before she stumbles back, dazed and lightheaded. He drops his hands awkwardly to his sides and she stuffs her hands back into her pockets. She gulps then laughs. He grins, looking down at her warmly.

"Um . . . it's"—Cass' ears are reddening, stuttered breathless laughing coming in between words—"it's getting late. I should, you know, head back inside . . ."

Yo-Yoji nods. "I'll text you!"

She nods meekly and heads for the door. He watches her leave, doesn't himself until she's back inside and has closed the sliding door, 'til he can't see her anymore.

★

"What's he saying?" Daniel asks excitedly, practically jumping on top of Cass to try and read the texts over her shoulder.

"Ow, get off!" she whisper-yells, rolling over to lay on her back instead of her stomach to get him off her.

It's 1 AM. They're in Daniel's room because he has the cool LED straps running along his floorboards, currently purple.

"He said—hey!" He snatches the phone from her hands and she instantly shoots up. "What the fuck, dude?!"

He ignores her, reading aloud. "'If I'm being honest, I never did get over you. I don't think I ever could.' Oh my god." He looks up at her, mouth agape and eyes wide. "Oh my god. Oh my god! Oh my god?!" he repeats.

She huffs and rolls her eyes, takes her phone back, all with an attitude. But her ears are red and her stomach is fluttering. She chews her lip in concentration as she types her reply. She hits send after editing her message a few times.

"Ok, I said—" Her breath hitches in her throat as Yo-Yoji's response comes in almost instantly. "I can't say it out loud." She sticks her phone out for Daniel to read himself. He leans forward and squints his eyes past the bright light of her phone screen. 

survivor3000: u don't mean that. u go with grace and stuff. u had to meet other girls u liked more.

guitarsamurai: i already broke up with grace. i could never like anyone more than i like you. i never could've seen u coming. i think ure everything ive wanted. i want to be with u cass. like really be with u. i wanna be ur boyfriend. is that ok?

Daniel's wide eyes flicker from the screen to her to the screen to her again. "Oh my god! You're gonna say yes, right?"

★

It's the next day. Cass and Daniel are exhausted. Max-Ernest is going on about the health benefits of a good night's sleep and why they should've gone to bed earlier. They're at their lockers.

"Max-Ernest, we get it!" Cass complains, yawns as she shuts her locker close and presses her head against it.

Max-Ernest makes a face. "I was just trying to tell you that it's really important you sleep well, especially being a survivalist, and—"

She sighs. "I know, Max-Ernest. Thank you, I appreciate it, that's enough now," she says, taking a softer approach. She turns around and gives him a tired smile. "I don't need a lecture. I need, like, speed, or something."

"I need to die," Daniel mutters, resting his head on Cass' shoulder. His eyelids are heavy and he can barely keep his eyes open.

"Do you want some?" Glob offers a sip of his energy drink with way too much sugar and even more caffeine—definitely more than a regular coffee.

Cass scrunches her face in disgust. "I'll pass." Daniel, on the other hand, all but lunges towards it. She rolls her eyes playfully.

"Is this better? It's just iced coffee. No extra anything 'cause I know you wanna avoid weird chemicals and stuff." He looks to her right: it's Yo-Yoji offering her a coffee cup with her name on it. Literally.

"Lifesaver," she mumbles sleepily, taking it and then a sip. Yo-Yoji throws his arm around her shoulder, pulls her into him to kiss her temple.

 Max-Ernest stares wide-eyed and mouth agape. Blinks. "What the fuck."

Cass smirks to herself. "What?"

"When did this happen?!"

"Last night. Long story," Daniel answers, arguing with Glob over the energy drink. Max-Ernest looks even more confused. Yo-Yoji laughs but doesn't say anything, covers it up by taking a sip of his coffee which does have extra sweeteners and artificial flavors because he doesn't care about weird chemicals and stuff.

"Are we really gonna keep pretending we're surprised? They've been a 'will they, won't they?' since middle school," Glob chimes in.

Max-Ernest brushes the comment off. "What is the point of being your best friend if you won't tell me things like this?!"

Cass smiles as he keeps rambling on and on, Yo-Yoji's hand on her shoulder tracing idle circles. Everything feels like it's back to normal.
