#it was completely coincidental too wtf

[marciliedonato]

so my phone turns 1 today and i was checking it now and it totally glitched like 2 things overlapping out of nowhere so I closed the screen and when I tried to reopen it it only lets me either enter the code or scan my finger and unlock it anyway I can and the the screen is either blurred or there's nothing on it and I cant open anything the buttons don't respond and I cant even turn it off what the actual fuck I'm losing my mind fr

edit: i was able to force turn it off somehow bc it wasn't working and we're back random indian guys on youtube save the day once again

[kalims]

he's a ten but he...

premise. sometimes certain bad habits of theirs make their overall rating just a tad bit lower—besides the fact that they keep doing it.

characters. dorm leaders

content. gender neutral reader

malleus (doesn't have a sense of space)

"look beastie, that flower is a native of ours,"

"I agree mal, but I didn't think you taking up the entirety of my seat will make me see it better,"

he blinks, then shrugs.

like i said, has NO sense of space.

if an average person would make an excuse to constantly be in physical contact with who they admire, then malleus is the complete opposite. well, not entirely but he doesn't even bother to construct an explanation as to why he's literally sat over your seat when you coincidentally get put in a table together.

if you start questioning him about it the most you'll get in a very outright 'because he wanted to.' it's not even one of those sarcastic replies he's 100% serious!

cause he believes there's no use in lying about things to be honest.. to further emphasize that, if he ever acts like he does hold fondness for you that surpasses the platonic meter but doesn't mention it he probably hasn't realized yet.

if he did he'd already walk over and bluntly tell you about it.

(I wish I could be that unbothered.)

lilia thinks it's the cutest thing though. you swear you see flashes of light for a split second from the ceiling but when you look up there's only a suspicious swinging chandelier.

^ totally has his own album full of pictures.

if malleus ever discovers it he won't even be disturbed, probably would ask for a copy 💯

since human lives, and their bodies are so fragile he'd taken it upon himself to protect you from harm. even if it means trailing behind you everywhere way too close for comfort, or standing a bees wing away.

while he is respectful most of the time, he's encouraged if you don't comment. if anything, he seems pleased you dont seem to be bothered! (and it'll get harder to tell him to stop when he's so happy the more you let it happen..)

"child of man, have you slept?"

*starts leaning his body forward, to squint at your eyes.* practically right in front of your face.

"WTF."

not even a warning or anything! but atleast he's concerned?

idia (won't even show up for anything and insists a 'virtual' date is better.')

user: where tf r u??

ghoul666: WDYM? at the dorm?

user: IVE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR 20 MINUTES

unintentionally stood you up 💀

you literally have to tell him that you're waiting for him to arrive at the specified area you discussed where your date would take place but would end up vastly irritated when he questions if you guys even did.

ghoul666: we do??

user: I'm taking my minecraft bed away from urs.

ghoul666: NO PLS

ghoul666: HELLO????

next time you log in minecraft it's probably because he begged you to play, you WILL end up seeing some kind of structure that probably took days to make. that's not even the entire thing cause the inside is entirely decorated to your taste.

in short: he constructed some kind of venue for a wedding.. even changed his skin to wear a tuxedo 😭

though he has sparked your pettiness, hence the ignoring him period. even you have got to admit that it's freaking adorable...

big sign, emphasis on please: Im sorry pls put ur minecraft bed back I can't sleep w/o u and I have to wait entire days for it to turn into morning :(

with what he's built you're sure it's 65% true.

if you do end up forgiving him, few weeks later attempting to schedule another date will only end up in naught.

ghoul666: can we not go there

user: 😐

user: you are testing my patience love

ghoul666: 😓 (he is screeching about the term of endearment part btw KABSJAJSAJA ortho would enter his room very concerned.)

ghoul666: how abt

ghoul666: mimic together? call

user: sighs

user: I'm only agreeing cause I want to spend time with you

queue more screeching from his end that you're completely oblivious to.

the only screeching you're gonna hear though is when you guys do get into call as you play, and it's mainly out of terror when his soul gets sent to the void ascending when the entity pops out of a corner and starts chasing him.

"I GOT THIS. ILL CARRY U THIS IS FINE" *screams again* but really wants to impress you so he pushes through.

unsurprisingly does carry you.

asks to match avatars right after (idia love languange)

vil (frets over you way too much.)

"vil, did you see the chocolate in the freezer?"

"oh, that? I noticed that you've already gone through the ideal number of bars this week so I took it upon myself to make sure you don't go sick on me,"

"I love you but please give it back—"

"I love you too, and no."

disclaimer: he does this for your own good 😜 (average mom excuse.)

looks out for you more than he does for his own dorm residents. everyone is wondering where he ran off to after class, especially since he's the one that scheduled the pomefiore meeting every fridays!

and to think he was the one getting irritated over the more newer first years for being late..

*shows up literally half an hour in*

why you ask? you simply shouldn't have texted him about abandoning your daily walk together through the gardens in favor of catching sleep since you called in sick (you're suspicious if crewel really did go in to check for proof, and not concern.)

vil's really feeling the absolute regret of not checking his phone during classes.. well, he only saw the message which was coincidentally sent like somehow ONE minute after the lecture started and he's only seeing it 59 minutes later.

oh you poor thing!! though the lunch break is short, he has about 5 minutes for a trip to the mirror chamber..

you'd think the 'seen' icon below your message was a weird omen for something you're not sure but it must be doom cause vil is right at the front porch of your crappy dorm. at his own expense?! looking more disheveled than you've seen him before.

if a few stray hairs was disheveled at all. more importantly, he still looked drop dead gorgeous!

you probably looked quite terrible with the blanket draped around your shoulders looking like you just crawled out of your grave, because he looked absolutely mortified at your state.

"oh great sevens.." he looked like he was faint, huffing and fanning himself with his hand. "look at you, why didn't you tell me sooner, darling?"

you blink, swallowing to make your throat less dry but your voice still comes out raspy. "I did, like an hour ago—" without your invitation whatsoever, he steps in. promptly shutting the door behind him (which surprisingly still stands sturdy.)

vil takes a hold of your shoulders before reaching his hands upwards to tilt your face around. "you should have sent earlier," he says. you keep in the comment that you were sleeping during it, and you told him about it during second period so.. "your face is so pale."

you sigh.

"yeah, I just saw. I know, I look hideous right now."

vil frowns at you, stopping to angle your face at him. "don't ever say that. I always find you beautiful even if you are.." he glances at you from face to toe, then back up. "sickly."

"... I feel offended."

"hmph, shush now. let me draw you a bath then I know something that will boost your system."

after much coaxing in his end, you reluctantly take a warm bath in the hopefully hygienic bathroom. true to his word, vil did... concoct something. though it looked pretty the random steam that flew from it was really suspicious.

the residents don't dare to question, except rook of course. who already knew what transpired! :)

epel: 😃 (atleast vil wasn't around.)

"roi du poison~ tell me, tell me! is the trickster well? have you cured them with your love?"

"rook, you have 5 seconds to get out of my face."

rook giggles away.

kalim (thinks money will buy anything, including your forgiveness.)

"here!" there's a suspiciously bright smile on his face as he hands you.. some keys?

you deadpan, jingling it in your hands. it weighs heavy than the average, probably because of the fact that it's literally made of gold. "... kalim what is this?" you emit a sigh, from suspicion and concern.

"a gift!"

"wait why does it say lot 111--"

as you can already, that was an actual, literal house. which you imagine would probably be a lots more grand, and new compared to your old baby ramshackle.

but you do love it despite it's love for falling apart at the most inconvenient of times..

fighting with kalim was rare but it was hard to even argue with him because the notion of disagreements are so bizarre to him that he unintentionally doesn't treat you seriously with your concerns, accidentally downplaying them aaaand now you're upset.

after the ranting to jamil about how you must be busy with a lot, since you haven't even talked to him in the past 2 days. all it took was a side glance to his friend in denial and jamil immediately knew.

"what do you mean they're mad!? D:"

"just.. go apologize, I don't want to get caught up in this."

if his definition of an apology is buying you an entire house...

( ^ it is btw.)

kalim really doesn't mean any harm. he just really wants to sate whatever anger you held for him <- maybe he's overthinking it but it's kalim so he's 99% sure it's his fault! even though it hasn't even been confirmed from your end he'd probably accept it whole heartedly.

he wanted you to talk to him again so badly that he wouldn’t mind showering you with houses... since your living situation doesn't live up to your kindness (sorry ramshackle love u xx)

you know what. he wouldn't even notice he's the reason you're upset at first even though he's been asking around on who put you in that mood. despite himself being the perpetrator but he didn't really know that did he?

the only reason he does is because he assumed you were just because you avoided him like some sort of.. cockroach! (he dislikes those.) and he couldn't take it anymore.

was probably 1 sec away from barging into your dorm which wouldn't take a lot of effort since one ram to the door would probably break it.

bless jamil for jailing all the carpets so kalim doesn't find them.

even if said carpets fling him off when he's riding them.

"kalim, why would you buy a literal house... and you also got a rare address paid--"

"for them! ;D"

"... you do know they'd be more offended by the fact that you'd try to replace that.., ahem. dorm, right?"

"oh... should I buy them a vehicle then?"

you only promise to forgive him once he takes back the keys, and the house entirely...

(grim begged you to keep it, 'house for him apparently.')

azul (keeps trying to offer you discounts thinking it's a good excuse to have you over.)

"I assure you. you'll find no deal better than this."

"I'm not even that hungry for sea food, actually I'm craving some--"

"you're in luck then! ahem, it's 26% off due to a special event for today."

pro tip: keep insisting to eat at other places cause he's gonna keep increasing the discount by 2% until you eventually relent. once, you made him go to the point of 75% off, it's almost hilarious if not for the fact it only worked once.

now he won't go last 50!

ahem. if you look closely you can almost spot tiny cracks accumulating with each denial you respond with, and each increase of his discount. he's grown to be wary about the bullshit 'lucky' promos you just happen to stumble on.

last time you did he practically lost a week's worth of the presumed income he's predicted cause you actually went around and told your first year friends about it... who.. in turn told some, other friends of theirs about it and you could guess.

love must hurt.. and unfortunately it's his wallet wailing.

but azul is not so easily swayed by this! for you have swayed him first! *wink wonk*

but azul has another trick up his sleeve... keeping on roping jade and floyd into it; whom are far too enthusiastic cause finally— something fun to do! someone to bother! not only have you got the most stubborn octopus having frequent suspicious 'deals' but here are his equally suspicious lackeys.

who keeps.. talking about fried octopus..

yeah, you're not sure if preaching about azul’s species is the job they were assigned.

they're fairly easy to point in the right direction anyways. the tweels have always associated you with the word 'fun' so just a little, friendly suggestion from and they were off to their merry way. mortifying every single person you come across with their sudden attachment.

one of their tricks? following you around. and just somehow, every single place you enter is just mysteriously full even though you peered inside and there was like 7 tables empty. what are they hosting? ghosts? spirits?

...

they do look like they've seen some though..

jade rn: "a shame indeed, you must be hungry. why don't we escort you back to monstro lounge?" :)

long story short you can't even reply cause the sleek eel is already guiding you around by the use of his hands on your shoulders. just to make sure you don't stray away from the destination, he says.

"didn't you say that yesterday's promo was like, a one day thing?" you quirk a brow, and you almost fool yourself into thinking he flinched.

azul clears his throat. "well—today is.. the month before you've graced octavinelle with your assistance—"

he praises himself for his quick thinking.

COME ON! it doesn't matter if you're sick of eating stir fried shrimp, or the butter one, or every single dish they serve that includes shrimp! (also do not mention that you ate somewhere else before you just decide to visit his dorm because that establishment just mysteriously got filed a non-legal business report.)

then you've got floyd chasing you around with a fork. which is more terrifying because he's holding it in a notion that would seem like he'd just stab down at you when he catches up with your little goose chase.

it's just.. you're not sure if your stomach could take another bite of the poor food he stabbed into, and is now chasing you around with.

you screech. "JADE PLEASE."

the man shrugs. "it's a free taste."

"AZUL."

"... only on a condition of course."

frankly. it took all the balls he had to actually sputter out the most simplest sentence ever, cause during the time he rehearsed that in front of his mirror it just plagued him with embarrassment but he's getting desperate.

'I'd like to take you out to dinner, somewhere else of course.'

actually, maybe obliterating any possible craving for the food of his lounge just might've been part of his plans to ask you out..?

leona (prevents you from actually being productive via dragging you down to 'nap' every. single. time.)

"I will literally fail if you don't let go of me right now."

"hmph. so what? it's not like failing a grade killed anyone."

"leona just because you've lived through a lot of fails doesn't mean I have to, we're not all rich enough to not finish school."

to which he'd retaliate that all you'd need is to marry him and you'd be set for life.

there is no winning an argument with leona when it comes to his naps. if he states that you're to be next to him as he sleeps, its final. no buts, no retaliations, cause apparently they're all invalid according to him even if you drag him to court.

rhetorically of course, that if its a comical court scene his only statements are; 'well you're wrong', 'who cares', and 'i dont care'. one way or another he's still gonna win you over and now you're fit snugly in his arms, lamenting.

and if crowley chastises you for not doing the errands (via leona's common interference.) the only thing you need to honestly do is to complain to leona about it and suddenly crowley has the kindness to forgive you for your 'laziness' then says something about enjoying your time together?

leona's work no doubt.

you suppose he does has its perks. even if most of it isn't exactly ideal.

if you're being smart then you should give him an ultimatum or something, or bribe him. but... that really has no guarantee to work either cause you're ending up defeated, or just defeated and flustered since he's somehow unconsciously flirty.

at the end of the day you can't really hate him cause the following day you find out he sent an already sleep deprived ruggie to do your work. 'so you can shut your fussing up and let me enjoy you.' he says, and you quote.

it goes something like;

"if i finish my work i'll stick by you all day."

a stready flow of confidence keeps your voice firm as you glower down at the blank-faced leona sat on the grass. he merely tilts his head, raising a brow at you and seemingly pondering from the way his eyes fly to the sky.

you'd think that maybe your plan actually worked but he merely grunts and flops backwards, holding the back of his head with his palms as he laid. and! he ignores you.

...this little greedy man... "why should i care whether or not you finish your work?" he huffs, like the evil, arrogant spawn he is but you can't really defend yourself cause said evil spawn bewitched you so much that you actually still like him.

"because you care about me?"

"...fine," he scowls, releasing a breath you'd mistake for irritation. "then, do you really think i need you to finish your work when i can just keep you right here?"

you sulk. "i'll do anything you want?"

he deadpans as if you said something stupid. "i don't need you to anything else but sit still and be pretty."

...

...

see what i mean about him eventually winning you over? yeah.

next morning there's a rebellion in savanaclaw about overworked residents and ruggie is the head of them.

"he said that he doesn't need you today." <- ruggie, steering you away.

"really?" <- you, confused

riddle (overthinks TOO HARD.)

“I'm just a little busy.”

“I understand,” riddle says.

“I'm just a little busy.” he understands.

“a little busy.” its just… a small thought…

“I'm just busy.” his mind is a hazard at this point. 

for someone as supposedly maintained as riddle—you'd think his mind is as composed as it is organized. like the pens you'd perfectly align in correlation to order of colors, or the neat pile of clothing folded neatly, tucked in some corner in your closet that is farther in since it's used less.

that's just how he is, or at least seems to be. a bundle of organized thoughts, every thought connected to another. a mind too clean to be going on haywire (when he isn't in a particular mood, that is.)

you're just busy. he thinks. you said it yourself, with that agonizingly nice smile that must be sprinkled with some kind of spell from the way it just eradicated all the protests in his throat upon sight. he isn't one to question it, he wants to help but not if you don't ask.

he can only stare with resigned acceptance at your insomnia induced eyes.

but when the curtain of darkness befalls night raven college, even in the comfort of heartslabyul is he still thinking about that thought–and he can’t help but wonder; why exactly are you busy? its not that he’s suddenly hyper aware of your lack of presence since you’ve been attached to the hip the previous week and now you’re just.

…busy…

riddle likes to think of himself as a level-headed, private person. like the boy he raised himself to be and therefore proud of. but its way past 10AM. which is usually the time he sleeps, and let me tell you that he’s never once broke the cycle for years. yet here he is, a frown of frustration present on his face as he wills his mind to sleep.

somehow closing his eyes felt forced, he immediately snapped them open once his mind decides to conjure an image of you even in the darkness his lids offers.

“THIS IS ABSURD.”

and the yell promptly woke up the entire dorm from the ferocity of his scream. (and of course gave them the flashback of their year.)

that night was one of the worst he’s ever had because he woke up with red rimmed eyes and a pounding headache that ensured his bad mood the rest of the day.

everyone noted to steer clear.

and he unknowingly steered clear of yours since you were ‘busy.’

“why are you sulking?” a voice queried, spoken as though they were eating something as they asked. a reprimand rises in his throat, but it all just dies down once his sharp eyes settle on you, slipping into the seat in front of him then raising a brow and the traces of irritation practically evaporates from his eyes.

he feels the need to cough–so he does. “i’m– i’m not.” he clears his throat, avoiding your eyes but still sneaking in glances, something he notes is that you’re still looking everytime he does. (and boring an unimpressed face because he knows you don’t believe him at all.)

guilt rises in his mind, because he feels a slither of annoyance and its the presence of pettiness that bothers him. riddle knows you’re not at fault, just his mind at convincing that you just somehow decided in the span of a day that you might not like him anymore–so he can’t help the bite. 

“why are you here?” a glance not intended to look mean.

“i thought you were busy.” he adds.

your brows raise, he spots your teeth holding your lips back from showing your grin and he feels warm. “what?” he hisses defensively, despite you not even having replied to him yet.

he leans backwards, straightening up in his seat when your chin leans forward, resting on your intertwined fingers. you flash him a smile. 

“mr. rosehearts, are you perhaps… sulking because i’m busy?”

“no!”

silence.

“no.” he repeats, weaker.

“well,” you continue, beaming. “i heard from ace that you were awake the entire night, and that you kept him awake too. are you alright?” 

he sputters. “it wasn’t because of you!”

you snort. “i didn’t even say anything about me.”

so you incline to following riddle around, poking fun at him and still trailing after the seemingly enraged red head because despite his angry protests, demanding you to go away because you’re annoying he keeps glancing back to see if you’ll follow,

so cute…….

Credit to @bisexualfagdyke for kicking the pebble that lead to the avalanche of this idea in my head even if the end product has nothing to do with what we talked about anymore

AU where Mary dies when they are in france and coincidentally around the same time is right before jean was about to get sold and because he caught wind of their plans to sell his sister he instead flees together with her. Neil & Jean meet when they try to approach the same contact to get new papers and go to the US. Neil at wits end going back to the states because europe clearly isn't any safer anyway and in the states he has faster access to more cash and resources. Jean aiming for the US because he's not rly quite fully aware of the threat the moriyamas pose there, he just wants to keep elodie safe away from his family.

So these two abused 15(?) year olds on the run from their mob families and way too unaware of the yakuza band together. Because neil doesn't rly think he can function and continue going completely by himself. And jean doesn't rly know wtf he's doing and neil at least has experience and resources so this will keep elodie safer.

They get by for a while but jean is very conscious of how life on the run is wearing on elodie. He just wants her to be able to have some kind of normalcy and happiness. Jean and neil fight a bunch because neil's like "i was fine being on the run at her age" but rly he's just battling with a bit of jealousy for elodie having someone who wants her to be happy, unlike his mother who only cared about survival.

Eventually they settle a bit in millport. It feels small and isolated enough for them to stay a while. Neil lets himself experience some happiness again too, joining the exy team and roping jean into it too.

And then coach wymack shows up with kevin day because coach hernandez sent him their files.

(i will be adding onto this and you should be able to find all future posts about it under "#aftg runaways AU" on my page. Masterpost here)

[darklinaforever]

Not people (a man coincidentally) who still say that the Reylo kiss came completely out of nowhere and was rushed. WTF ? What kind of interactions have you watched between Rey & Kylo Ren / Ben Solo since the beginning ? Have you also missed all the classic codes of enemy-to-love romance in fiction ? Frankly, Reylo is a textbook romance. And when I see people whose job it is to criticize / analyze fiction who are surprised by Reylo, that tells me everything I need to know about their so-called skills. Especially if on the other hand it praises House of the Dragon... Really, two things that tell me everything I need to know about their so-called analytical skills. It's 2024 ! How can people still say that it came out of nowhere? And for once, Reylo came in a video which first talked about the case of Rhaenyra & Mysaria's kiss ! A sort of mix of all the kisses out of nowhere that panicked the web with more recently this one where the guy agreed that it came out of nowhere even if there were a few exchanges between the characters which probably leads a little to that while... find out man it was confirmed as being improvisation by Emma D'Arcy. The previous interactions between these two characters were not at all supposed to lead to a kiss. But it doesn't surprise me that he's trying to drown it out since once again he mostly loves HOTD and finds it overall very well written. The joke... You can't compare these two kisses. Reylo has always been the heart of the story. Yes, in episode 7, JJ Abrams was unsure about the nature of Reylo's relationship which he thought could have been romantic or brotherly, but with episode 8 and Ryan Johnson, Reylo's romantic nature was confirmed between the two characters. So since 7 there was this romantic tension then confirmed in 8. Reylo doesn't come out of nowhere, you have to stop the bullshit after a while. I still see some who make fun of the scene of Kylo shirtless while still not understanding what the hell is going on there and once again that tells me everything I need to know about the analytical skills of these people. You don't actually know the codes of fiction. Or perhaps you are simply not interested in the codes of romance, although it is also a classic of fiction, and there too it tells me a lot of things about these people.

[heartscrypt]

second part of this post where i recap interesting things that happen in the cfv ds game ride to victory

- FIRST UP. ALL TIMR FAVE SCENE.. CONFIRMATION THAT KAI VISITS AICHIS SOMETIMES!!!!!!!!! UNPROMPTED AND UNINVITED!!!!!! AND AICHI JUST LETS HIM IN!!!!

sorry i sound like such a rabid fangirl but this is so soso important to me. like i feel actually crazy about the fact that by the time of asia circuit kai now feels comfortable enough just drop by aichis house to cardfight him. the fact that the protag thinks hes joking about visiting aichis house is killing me bc kais like "😐 i'm too busy to make jokes. clearly i am going to his house for real. you can tag along i guess" in response. he is not playing abt this he is so srs. also the rest of the scene is basically you third wheeling kaichi as kai inspects your deck and tells you to fix it with some cards while he fights aichi

- next up is: nagisa making a bento so spicy it literally knocks out kamui COLD.

i didn't get a screenshot of this but nagisa actually asks you to taste the bento and your dialogue options are

1) "wow.... this is a taste i've never had before"

2) "i think it's a little too spicy.."

3) "... it's delicious" (LYING) (YOU ARE A LYING LIAR WHO LIES)

so in conclusion never eat food from nagisa i guess

- miwa being silly and misaki literally Tearing into his ass for it... wtf

for context idk how to translate this but basically miwa was doing the whole Bit he did in ep 38 where he dressed up to play into morikawas Ninja Master M thing (example pic included). like he was doing the voice completely unprompted and everyone was like "what the fuck are you doing. stop that. rn". they just don't understand his silliness....

- jun asks you for help constructing his dark irregulars deck with the new cards he got and before he even gives the cards for you to look at he HAS to give you the disclaimer that all of them are just COINCIDENTALLY sexy ladies and he DID NOT DO THAT INTENTIONALLY so DON'T LAUGH AT HIM HE IS SO SERIOUS!!! HE IS SO /SRS (im laughing at him anyway)

- finally we have aichi comparing the protagonist to himself and saying he wants to support the protagonist because they remind him of a "once-upon-a-time" version of himself 😭😭😭 this isn't funny like the others but it made me go Awww

[makebelieveyouregoodenough]

hello!! I was wondering if you could write something about lee!han and ler!stray kids where the kids find han sleeping on the couch and instead of bringing him a blanket and stuff, they all take turns tickling him (ex: on his feet, sides, armpits) to see who can wake him up first? and jisung keep squirming around in his sleep making the boys tickle him harder and harder? thank you!!

I looove this idea!! I’m so sorry for taking so long to answer 😭 Also I’m sorry if I didn’t do what you requested. Thank you for requesting!

A Rude Awakening

Lee: Han

Ler: Stray Kids

—————————————————————————————

Han was tired. It had been a long week, from promoting the new album, to training for their comeback, it’s safe to say he was exhausted. The only thing in the world he wanted to do was take a nap.

“Sleep. SLEEP!” His brain seemed to be screaming at him. He wandered from room to room, trying to find a good napping place, until he chose the couch. He would have gotten a pillow and a blanket to help him fall asleep, but the second his head touched the fabric his eyes started getting heavy and soon after, he fell asleep.

In another room, the other 7 members were chatting.

“No that’s what I’m saying, Oddinary is better than 5 Star”

“Wtf?!? No 5 star’s way better”

They slowly walked out of the room and coincidentally walked into the same room Han was in.

“Aww, Han’s sleeping.”, Chan said, smiling at how cute his bandmate was.

“He’s sleeping like a baby!” Hyunjin chuckled, while snapping a picture.

“He’s probably cold. Maybe we should get him some blankets and a pillow for his head?” Felix questioned

“Or we could cuddle him? He’s too cute to just leave here” Minho suggested

At first, the bunny’s idea seemed to be working. But, someone’s finger slipped and accidentally poked Han’s side. He moved abruptly, surprised by the sudden sensation.

“What was that? Maybe he’s having a bad dream?”

Chan, knowing how ticklish he was, smirked, understanding what was going on. Chris took advantage of the fact that his shirt was slightly pulled up, exposing his belly button. He slowly circled his pointer finger around Han’s belly button. Not wasting any time, he quickly sped up the circling, going closer to the younger’s belly button each time. Chan smiled even wider, as his finger was now inside the younger’s tickle button.

Han being very ticklish, giggled once he felt the older’s finger.

“Aw, is someone a bit ticklish?” Changbin questioned, finally understanding what was going on.

“Gahahahahaha stohop”

“Why would we stop? We just started”, Seungmin asked in a teasing way

“Pleahease don’t pin meee. And pleahease dohon’t tickle my hips, they’re too sensitive. Please don’t give mehe raspberries” Han asked in a begging manner

“I’m starting to think you want us to do all those things”

“Aww hyungie, do you actually want this?” Jeongin asked, whilst poking his side

“Noyesmaybe, hah no, of course not”

“Hmm that sounded too indecisive, I think you deserve a punishment”, Lee Know stated, while heavily smirking

“I think you’re right, hyung. Maybe a wrecking session?” Hyunjin added

“Great idea, what do you think, Han?”

At this point, Han was so flustered, he couldn’t speak coherent sentences.

“I ah I think umm”

“Aw he’s blushing already” Felix stated, making the ace blush harder

“I say we just go for it” Hyunjin stated matter of factly

“I agree!”

Before Han could reply, his arms were already pinned over his head and fingers were fluttering and scribbling all over his sensitive body.

“HAHAHA ITS TOHO MUCH HAHAHA”

“I thought you wanted this?” Lee Know teased

The teasing only made the younger even more sensitive.

“Hahahahha it tickles soho bad HAHAHAHAHAHA”

Han was reaching his breaking point, which the members could see.

“So Hannie, I think we’ve completed all your requests, except one.” Chan said

“Huh?” The rapper asked while still giggling off the ghost tickles

“You’re right, we haven’t given him raspberries yet”

“Oh nohoho I think that’s okay I don’t need that I’m fi- AHAHAHAHA” Han interrupted his rambling with his own laughter.

All the members were blowing and ticklishly kissing him in different places of his body. Although it was intense, he actually… liked it?

“HAHAHAHHAHAA I THINK I'M GONNA DIE IF YOUHOU GUYHYUS KEEHEEP GOIHING”

Han was right, his face was completely red and he was breathing very hard.

They all stopped and looked down at the younger, seeing what a cute friend they had. One that liked being tickled, even though he wouldn’t admit it.

Shortly after, they got off of him, deciding they had exhausted Jisung enough. He’d probably need another nap.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

I've been pondering if I should send this question in for a while now but I just gotta know.

Did they evolve to be anime? Now I know what ur thinking "Anon wtf do you mean?" let me explain.

So, we see all the statues of the great 7, right? And all of the statues and portraits of them are just them. they look exactly the same as they do in their movies, all cartoony like. But don't you think it's weird how no one has commented on their appearance being all cartoonish? The twst universe is filled with handsome anime men. they're around every corner. And you can probably tell that they look nothing like the great 7, all considerably different.

So the theory I purpose is: What if, way back when, everyone DID look cartoonish back in the olden days, but as time went on, things changed about their appearance to look more anime. Why? idk man.

How do beastmen fit into this since evolution takes a while especially if it's an animal becoming more human-like? Maybe beastmen evolved after the anime switch-up.

This is worded really badly so I'm sorry if you don't understand what I'm saying, this is just my crack theory. Have a nice day!

Well, it’s definitely the first time I’ve heard of such a theory, even if it’s just a crack (not meant to be taken seriously) theory 🤔 (Us TWST fans really will analyze anything down to the smallest detail or atom, lol)

It’s an interesting concept, but that’s not really how evolution works. Random traits don’t evolve and appear in a large population “just because”. The environment “selects” for the traits which are best suited for survival in particular conditions, and then those surviving organisms are able to pass that beneficial trait onto their offspring. I… don’t see the evolutionary advantages to characters “turning anime” over time. (I’m not counting the point “more physically attractive people have a leg up in finding a partner(s)” because 1) humans are capable of non-physical attraction, and 2) the variation among anime traits is too high (example: all the bright colored hair despite environments in Twisted Wonderland highly varying) for everyone to coincidentally all converge in the same style; there would theoretically still be a handful of people walking around in the “old” style).

For such drastic changes to occur, it would probably also take an extraordinary amount of time, which doesn’t line up with the technological advances we see in the Disney classics versus modern Twisted Wonderland. All of the stories of the G7 took place at least at a time with primitive inventions like wheels and fire, which were used estimated to have first been discovered ~5000 and 200,000-50,000 years ago, respectively. Assuming the course of history is similar to our world, the earliest possible time for the G7 stories to have been set is around then (and that’s being very generous). But then consider that some traits take millions of years to appear and/or disappear. Many people, for example, get appendicitis because the appendix, which has been estimated to have been in various animals for ~80 million years, is still in their bodies despite no longer serving a clear function (at least not in humans). Modern TWST has tech like smartphones and touch screen tables, so that’d be similar to the 21st century for us irl; in the (relatively) short time span of thousands of years to 2023ish, I don’t think that would be nearly enough time to essentially completely change an entire race’s look (ie their “style”). Major changes take millions and millions of years to come into fruition. It’s true that mutations can occur! However, they are rarely so largely noticed (most of them end up getting corrected by the genes themselves) or are so atomically beneficial that it ends up dominating an entire group. (Note: it is stated in canon that beastmen evolved from actual animals and that Malleus has ancestors who were actual dragons, but that’s basically all the lore we have in regards to evolution.)

The G7 looking different from the TWST characters is the result of the classic Disney style differing greatly from Yana Toboso’s style (ie meta outside of the actual world of the game). No characters find this discrepancy odd because, in all likelihood, the styles don’t appear different to them in-universe. The G7 probably just have a variety of facial features and body types that differentiate them from the average student or staff member at NRC. For example, the Beautiful Queen and Thorn Witch have slender bodies (which are most anatomically similar to the TWST characters) but sharper eyes, the Sea Witch is plump, the Queen of Hearts has a rotund body and nose, the King of Beasts and Sorcerer of the Sands are lanky, and the Lord of the Underworld has more angular facial features. Variation like this also exists in real life.

We the players only notice the cartoonishness vs the anime look because we are omniscient third parties. Our stand-in for the TWST world, Yuu, does not take note of, nor ever comment on, this style difference that the irl players do. If the G7 did look very weirdly different from everyone else, you’d think Grim would make a cheeky comment about it or Yuu would point it out—but they don’t. Therefore, I can only come to the conclusion that in the eyes of everyone in TWST, the G7 are just regular ass looking people rather than individuals who look stylistically out of place. If you think about it, Mickey Mouse also appears to have an extremely differently style than the TWST characters and is actually a character we meet face-to-face; he has no shading at all and looks flat to us (the players), yet Yuu, Grim, and others still never comment about that or why he can stand and walk despite lookin 2D. They are focused on his relation to Yuu rather than on his appearance. This supports the idea that, in the eyes of the characters IN Twisted Wonderland, Disney characters may not be registered in that stylistic difference. They must look like they “belong” in that world, and thus in the same style as the TWST characters (from their perspective, NOT the players’ perspective).

Something else to consider is that we haven’t (or rather, can’t) met the G7 in person. All the instances of them we’ve seen are portraits in Crowley’s office and the statues on Main Street—in other words, works of art. Who is to say that these legendary historical figures are accurately depicted? Even if they consistently look the same across depictions, it could just be that most artists collectively agreed “yup, based on what we know of history… they must look like this”. Alternatively, these (“Disney style”) depictions of the G7 could be the result of a popular artist movement or style present at the time period(s) in which the seven were at their prime. Again, these points are all also true of real life instances of artworks featuring important figures.

hi, could you make a smut of ryusei satou x sub reader him calling his house after his mother left

I looked up this character and like who is this hottie?? 😀 I read the manga and yet didn’t even remember this gang wtf uhmm anyways… enjoy! (fem reader)

He waved goodbye to his mother as she blew him a kiss and got into her old car, backing out of the driveway and driving off in an instant.

He sighs to himself and ran a hand through his curly hair, glancing over at your house across the street to see you peering back coincidentally. You smiles awkwardly and waves, spawning a smile on his face and he held up his phone and pointed to it with his other hand.

He turned away first, walking into the now still house and slumped on the couch, awaiting his phone to go off. Sure enough, it did about a minute later, and his screen read ‘the cute neighbor ❤️’.

He answered it and listened to you rustle around and say goodbye to your parents, imagining you tugging on the same slip on shoes you always wore and slung your bag over your shoulder, shutting the door and starting towards his house.

“Miss me so much you needed to talk to me before you saw me?” he says with a chuckle as you hang up abruptly, knocking on the door soon after.

He rubs his eyes and gets up, dragging towards the door with a smile as he opens it up to have his beliefs true; your hair was a mess, you wore the same sweatshirt you always wore to cover up what you sported only for him, and your slip on shoes matched your bag.

“Hey.” he says simply, stepping aside to allow you into the familiar house.

“How much time do we have today?” you ask, slipping your shoes off at the door and setting down your bag nearby.

“A few hours. Plenty of time.” he says as he tugs your sweatshirt off, revealing the overly short crop top with a red laced bra. He could only imagine how the rest of you looked, so he also tugged off your shorts to reveal your matching set.

You instinctively put your hands up, both the cold air and the fact that you were almost naked with him fully clothed getting to you.

“Oh come on, nothing I haven’t seen.” he says with a chuckle as he drags you towards his bedroom.

~—————~

“Still as beautiful as ever.” he says with a cheeky grin as you layed down on his bed, covering your face with your hands as he lined up.

“Let me see that pretty face, otherwise I won’t do anything.” he says sternly as you peak through your hands, but not taking them completely off.

You let out a whine of disapproval as he pinched your nipple, taking your hands off with a pout as you looked the other way.

“unfair.” you muttered as he quirked his eyebrows in amusement at your unusually bratty behavior.

“What’s gotten into you? Do I need to teach you..” he starts as he runs an icy finger along your chin, “how to act correctly?”

You shook your head and earned another annoyed look, opting to mutter a small “no”.

“No? You think not?” he says, bringing his head down to have his hot breathing right on your neck, sending shivers down your spine as he bit down on the tender skin.

“No.. my parents..” you whined out, but he places a hand over your mouth as he moved over farther, leaving a wet line of purple like a necklace.

He suddenly shoved himself all the way in, bringing tears to prick at your eyes as you struggled to take all of him at once.

“Ryu.. too- much!” you blabbed out as he rose up and propped you up on his legs, drilling into the spot he knew drove you crazy as your face scrunched up.

“Like that?” he asks with a sadistic lauch as you nodded your head, barely even having to with the way the thrusts were bobbing you up and down already hard enough.

You came undone, surprising both of you, yet he didn’t stop his ruthless pace, sending you into overstimulation as you clawed at his wrists.

He said sweet nothings to you, but they fell onto deaf ears. It hadn’t even been half an hour yet and your head was spinning, eye rolled back as far as they could go as he hit your g-spot over and over. You had long ago made a ring of your slick on his cock, but he went on and on and on.

You wondered if you weren’t doing well, saying that he hadn’t busted yet evn once when you were edging onto your third time. It took all of the energy you had, but you clamped down on him with all of your strength and that was all he needed to coat your insides with white.

He threw his head back and let out a guttural moan as you both came, warmth flooding your bodies as you went through your highs.

“shit.. w-wow baby.” was all he could get out as he slumped over you, taking you into his arms as he kissed the love spots he had left earlier on your neck and collarbone.

“You’ve never done that shit before.” he said, esrning a content hum from you as you brushed his hair with your hands, smiling to yourself at your grand achievement.

“Wanna do that.. I don’t know.. maybe another dozen times?”

I had never classified myself as a radfem until around a couple years ago when the gender stuff came up in full force. I'm a tall lesbian, not super feminine but not masculine either, I don't wear a lot of makeup but my hair is long, deeper voice, tattoos, short nails, etc. and my friends in college were doing EVERYTHING in their power to convince me that I'm a she/they if not a they/them (coincidentally they all had she/they or some other combo in their bios atp). and I remember just being so put off by it that it completely swung me.

Tumblr also had a lot to do with it. I've been a jaded member of the LGBT community for years but I remember the EXACT moment I took a step back from even trying to empathize with the transtrenders and it was when a mutual asked me to be their "queer platonic partner"... wtf (also the push to say queer in the first place is disgusting) anyway, sorry to rant. have a great night ❤️

never EVER be sorry to rant!!!!

holy shit, anonita ME TOO!!! IT WAS SO FUCKING WEIRD IT LITERALLY IS LIKE THEYRE TRYING TO INDOCTRINATE YOU INTO A CULT!!!!

just existing as a masculine woman is an anomaly for these people, and they try soooooo fucking hard to get you into their stupid little cult and its horrifying for lack of a better term, they really are trying to make the definition of the word 'woman' not exist anymore

also... help...??????? not the 'queer platonic partner' im gonna scream... why are they so fucking weird

i hate the push to say queer too its so reductive

i love you anonita, thank you for your ask!!! love yourself, you deserve it! <33

[whenjustdancehitsdifferent]

Need to take my mind off of some things so I'm gonna go on one of my unhinged rambles-

Followers of my fic series may remember the All I Want For Christmas Is You beta coach, of course - who "I" named Lindovica. I didn't actually name her that of course, I had to poke around on name sites trying to figure out wtf her name was when I first remembered her, because all I knew was a couple syllables and that it was unusual. "Lindovica" isn't even a real name, but I saw the similar name Ludovica and put the pieces together from there.

Initially, I panicked, because the song I remembered her from was non-canon...well not completely non-canon, it's in one of the kids' spinoff games, but I wasn't sure how well that'd fly if I ever wanted to put her in my fics. I was relieved beyond words when I discovered All I Want For Christmas, because even a beta routine was easier to explain than a Disney Party song.

When I played Starships on Just Dance Happy Hour for the first time, I instantly knew she looked familiar. The next day, I went to play it right away, and when I looked the coach in the eyes, I realized it was her. There was nothing about her that looked remotely like Lindovica. But when I saw her smile and her energy, it clicked..I'll never forget the baffled feeling I got when I realized "wait...is that...Lindovica?? Girl you look amazing but what the hell happened??". I later referenced this moment with Mihaly's reaction in the fic:

Everything seemed to be going fine memory-wise. It clicked for me that she was a magical girl, that's why she looked like that, and I thought that was that. I wasn't the happiest when I realized what coach was the villain she fought, but that's a story for another time.

Everything fell apart when I played D.A.N.C.E. for the first time. I'd identified that sure, she was the coach. She doesn't look THAT far off from All I Want For Christmas, so I thought everything was fine. I just for the life of me couldn't stop feeling like something was missing...

Eventually, I made a playlist on JD22 of all the songs she was in. But I still got the feeling something was missing. Maybe something more recent? I'd mostly found her in the older games. And a couple days later...I unfortunately got the answer to my question. I watched an edit of the Bring Me To Life map, and I saw that at least for a split second, Liv's hair spun around in a way that looked JUST like D.A.N.C.E....and I freaked the fuck out. That's an understatement, I genuinely cannot think of anything kin related that's given me that kind of inconsolable visceral reaction. That's when I put things together...

Her hair looks a little like What You Waiting For, and coincidentally she was in the clock at one point too. Pretty much every routine with a clock to any degree was (Tik Tok, Miss Understood, hell even Maniac's got some gear cogs of suspicious origin in the corners). D.A.N.C.E. and Bring Me To Life both have that streak in their hair, almost the exact SAME hair, just darker...

And then I realized.

Her name is LIndoVica. That's what "Liv" was short for.

It's been months now, but it still occupies such a portion of my mind because it's CRAZY! And that, mutuals, is the context of that image I posted on my main the other day...

Now, would it be a little too much at once if I also said she grew out her hair and...

Book Review: Corrupt

Devil's Night (Book 1) by Penelope Douglas

Source: Google Images

Erika

I was told that dreams were our heart’s desires. My nightmares, however, became my obsession.

His name is Michael Crist.

My boyfriend’s older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.

But I noticed him.

I saw him. I heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away.

Now, I’ve graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven’t stopped watching Michael. He’s bad, and the dirt I’ve seen isn’t content to stay in my head anymore.

Because he’s finally noticed me.

Michael

Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika.

My brother’s girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven’t had her body, I know that I have her mind. That’s all I really want anyway.

Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college.

In my city.

Unprotected.

The opportunity is too good to be true as well as the timing. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they’re out.

We’ve waited. We’ve been patient. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true.

Enjoyable but Also WTF?

Going into this book, I already expected to read some messed up things but I am slightly taken aback that the level of messed up did not reach my expectations? For example, that whole revenge scheme? Taking away everything felt so mild and other than the assault that really disappointed me (in terms of the boys disappointing me), the only thing the boys did that I thought was edging towards evil was that box of remembrance. Maybe because I am a rather sentimental person so I cannot imagine what kind of hell I would rain down if someone destroyed my box of remembrance. Unfortunately, that "act of evil" was not even a planned event, it happened coincidentally just because box was at the wrong place at the wrong time. I would have called that pathetic.

Moving on to the attempted assault, I lost so much respect for Rika, honestly. I knew it was a misunderstanding from a severe lack of communication and so much miscommunication, but her forgiving them for attempting it was just, pathetic. Rika really should have more backbone in this regards and at least get some revenge. Instead, she slept with Michael. Utterly pathetic.

Something else I was not a big fan of. The boys constantly described Rika as fearless and a little screwed up but I don't see that at all. What I saw was a privileged girl with kinks and some amount of guts, that's all. Personally, Alex was a much better badass than Rika. Rika's character arc is something I don't quite like in the female characters I read about.

Corrupt might have been full of flaws but on some level, I enjoyed my reading time with it. Rika's relationship with Michael was boring but I loved reading about Kai. The way Douglas wrote the scenes of Kai with either Rika or Michael were filled with so much tension, it was so fun to read them. I guess that's probably why the threesome was unexpected but I do not mind it.

Oh, before I end this review. Trevor? Man, that boy is one of the most pathetic people I've ever read about.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

P.S.: Do not let my over-usage of pathetic take away the fact that I still ultimately enjoyed the book.

-slides in and sets down a cup of herbal tea-

To your post about a regular saying, "You're sharp for your age!" my friend, who is, coincidentally, also working in a library (she's a youth services librarian) gets mistaken for being younger quite a lot, and for much the same reason she gets told similar things, because too often people associate age with wisdom/intelligence.

I also get mistaken for being younger by customers due to my looks, even some people I've known for years are shocked to learn I'm not, like, sixteen.

Sometimes it feels like a jab or a backhanded compliment, and, in some ways it is, even if not intentionally so, and it takes a lot of my energy not to be bothered by it.

And other times I find a way to work it into the conversation that, no, actually, I am an adult and have been for years.

Then there's the folks that keep telling me, "Don't get old" because "things start to hurt", and I'm over here, having had to deal with chronic pain/illness since I was a child, and who didn't think I'd make it this far, and that's the stuff that really gets to me.

But, like, looping back, it's always strange the things strangers/patrons will say to you sometimes.

Weird assumptions or out of the blue questions/statements that have you going, "What?" the rest of the day.

Anyway, on a completely different note, when I got to work today, there were a bunch of cops in the back parking lot while I was unlocking the shop, and they were still there when I came out to tend to the animals, and I thought I felt one of them looking at me.

And, yeah, yeah they were, because they were watching me water the ducks.

So I'm standing there with a hose, trying not to make eye contact with them while I talk to the ducks like, "Yes, yes, here is your water, do you want a bug bath today, Duck Duck?"

This is the second time I've walked up on a... a herd? a herd of cops in the parking lot that suddenly turned to look at me.

-leaves some extra cookies-

*sits down with my tea and a cookie* I moved back to the town I grew up in as an adult and it has been a wild experience. Mostly because of exactly this. These people have known me my whole life but still picture me as a teenager so therefore I must still be a teenager right?

The other great part of the whole interaction was she asked me, like five minutes before that comment, how old I was going to be on my birthday (because it came up in conversation that my birthday is this week), and I told her. And she went--in a baby voice-- "oh you're just a babbyyy" I'm sorry that you also have to deal with this shit on the regular, but also I'm kind of glad that we can at least commiserate about it. As a semi side note, I don't get the "don't get older" thing. What would you prefer I do? Die? Like I know it's a saying and I get it but it's stupid and we should stop saying it. And why do you keep running into herds of cops? That's honestly one of the scariest things you can run into in the wild. They're so fucking creepy. God, I'm glad they left you alone (except for the staring at you part, wtf?) and let you water the ducks in (sort of) peace.

Had a dream where there was a young man and his girlfriend about to move away from their house, an inn, but there was an investigation happening in their town and the family had already partially figured out that the young man was a murderer.

He killed around 3 or 4 people, all of whom were very dangerous and harmed many people. he knew that who they were wasn't going to matter, and that he would be arrested and sentenced anyway, so he had to leave and go into hiding.

There were several other murders that had taken place that were completely unrelated to him though, but everyone thought they were by the same guy. He figured out that the other murderer was the man he was forced to room with in the inn. they'd overbooked and the only spare bed was in the young man's room.

He, his girlfriend and her parents were all talking in the main room. The girlfriend didn't know why they were moving away and was getting cold feet, and her parents didn't entirely want her to move either. it grew into an argument and she told him she wasn't going. he backed away and said "alright then, your choice" and then walked back into his room to continue packing his things.

the other man was still in the room, and by this point the young man would usually already have left for the day, so he had no idea what the guy looked like. as he sat up, the young man looked over at him in passing, but then quickly looked back again, turning bright pink. it was an "oh no he's hot" situation. the two of them stared at eachother for a little while, and the other man laughed a little and said "you alright there man?"

the young man immediately blurted out "do you want to come with me?"

the other man looked confused and said "where? why?"

the young man swallowed, "um. Well the investigation is getting pretty close. I'm sure by now you've figured some things out, and I have too. neither of us can really stay here, can we?"

the other man looked at him for a while and then slowly his eyes widened and he stood up. "...... I KNEW it was you! I knew you were the other guy I had a feeling!! Your methods are fucking WEIRD man like with the abuser in the alley?? wtf was that???"

they both started teasing eachother and talking about their methods and how coincidental it was that both of them happened to kill people at the same time completely disconnected to one another.

as they talked they realised that yeah, they absolutely couldn't stay. this would be the other guy's only chance to escape, and the sooner the better. they looked at eachother, nodded, and then started to pack.

the next scene was them driving towards the house that they would be staying at, but they were being chased by two guys who had connections to some of their victims. One was a short guy in a big white coat with glasses and grey hair who attacked them with various chemicals, and the other was tall and had dark clothes and hair, and was trying to kill them with sharp weapons. they would dodge most of the attacks, but sometimes one of the guys would hit one of the men and they would have to patch themselves up while on the move.

they made it to a safe house that they were planning on staying in at the halfway point. they would have to stay here for a week or so because both of them were a bit battered from the two guys attacking them. The other man had mostly cuts and slashes from the dark guy and had to clean all of them in the kitchen sink. the other guy came off relatively unscathed and only had a minor chemical burn on his arm, which he handled pretty easily.

the young man told the other man about where they were going. it was next to a lake in a forest, and there were cliffs nearby. it was owned by someone he knew and they lived not too far away, so the house would be stocked up and ready for them to live in once they got there.

then it cut to them arriving at the house. there was a police car behind them and also the two guys from before, but when they noticed the police they ran away.

other man had been stabbed in the leg and as they pulled up to the house the young man had to help him out of the car and through the front door. the other man got inside ok, but before the young man could get inside, a policeman shot him in the stomach. luckily he fell inward through the door so the other man could slam the metal door shut and pull his friend up and further inside.

It was an open-plan house with a second floor. there was a TV and sofa near the front door, the stairs a little way behind, and then past that on the left was the dinner table and the kitchen in the far corner. there were bookshelves further to the right, with a desk and some cabinets. overall it was warm, if a little sparse, and the dim lighting from the curtained windows and lamps dotted around gave it a cosy atmosphere.

one of the curtains was askew, so the other man looked through it as he pulled his friend up onto the sofa. the young man's friend who he had mentioned had arrived and was successfully fighting the police off and forcing them to retreat. the man wasted no time helping the young man with the gunshot, it had gone straight through so he didn't have to dig the bullet out. in doing this he noticed a few other deep cuts that he had himself, and he cleaned himself up a little so that helping the young man would be safer.

they sat there for a while, the other man keeping the young man talking by discussing how insane this journey had been, and how the house looked. soon the young man's friend knocked on the window to let them know they were coming inside to help out.

It cut to the two of them patched up and lying on the sofa together. the other man was wiping blood off the young man's face with a cloth and they were curled comfortably around eachother. the other man stopped for a second and stared at his sleeping friend 🏳️‍🌈?ly for a HOT minute. like seriously there was Something going on here iykwim

the next shot was the young man's friend from before making them breakfast while they watched the news, all of them discussing how things were going to go, but I woke up soon after that.

today alone she has:

swooped in immediately after i got done setting up/arranging sample bottles in the exact order we always put them in and completely rearranged them arbitrarily, in a manner that was actively inconvenient to the test i was running and she knows this

shut down and packed away equipment that it was very well known was still in use, causing me to have to turn it back on and re-calibrate it before doing the daily tests that we literally always do in the mornings and that she knew full and damn well hadn’t been done yet

purposefully left my stuff and only my stuff lying around in a manner that makes me look like an inconsiderate dickhead (moving the water bottles belonging to everyone working in the lab BUT mine out of the way of the pickup cart)

consistently grabbed data sheets and sample bottles i was clearly actively using the moment my back was turned and moved them around the lab, making pointed comments about how it was more convenient to have them in this place so others wouldn’t have to walk back and forth as much, even though i was the only one using those samples and sheets in the moment

excluded me from communications with other departments regarding testing logistics SEVERAL times and always conveniently stepping out to refill her water bottle or something whenever the other party arrived with their sample, making me look like i just don’t know wtf is going on

deleted and remade template files that i started specifically to try and be helpful to her (there was nothing wrong with my templates, the ones she made were exactly the same)

yesterday, she must have renamed or otherwise moved the source file of a spreadsheet that i needed for data entry, because the shortcut was broken. i looked everywhere, couldn’t find it, and because she wasn’t in the office at the time i was working on it, decided id ask if she knew what was going on with it when she got back. things happened and it slipped my mind. TODAY, she tossed the clipboard with the corresponding hard copies onto my desk with clear intent of smugly informing me that i’d forgotten them, i remembered the problem and interrupted her before she could start with ‘oh right, i meant to ask if you knew what happened to the sheet, the shortcut was broken yesterday and i couldn’t find the source file where it was supposed to be, i wasn’t sure if you’d moved it or something’. she immediately backtracked and insisted the shortcut was never broken, that i must have just overlooked it somehow, and left. sure enough, when i went back to the folder, the shortcut was working and the file i needed was exactly where it belonged in the source folder, which i distinctly remember checking several times yesterday. she complains about me forgetting to do things and her having to pick up the slack to our supervisor VERY frequently, and in this case was very clearly manufacturing a situation where it looked like i’d forgotten something so she could complain

constantly erasing and rewriting things i write on the board or labels i put on bottles whenever im not around for NO reason. ive noticed this before and asked if my handwriting is hard to read or something and she says no, but whenever i turn my back it seems like something ive done has been replaced while i wasn’t looking

replying to emails or teams messages meant for both of us before i’ve had the chance to even read them and not checking with me at all before setting up times/dates for things, once again making it look like i have no idea wtf is going on

like i’m starting to feel like im actually losing my mind. most of this stuff leaves no evidence and i cannot prove her intent, any time i attempt to point it out or ask why she did that she has a perfectly rational seeming explanation, but i can TELL she’s doing it on purpose because this is not normal behavior from her in the slightest and it’s way too coincidental. even typing this all out has me doubting if any of this is genuine or if im just overreacting wildly. it’s stressing me the FUCK out man i don’t need this shit rn

currently in an utterly fucking ridiculous situation with my coworker where i know for a FACT she is fucking with me on purpose and actively being petty and passive aggressive as shit, but she is doing so in a manner where to anyone else it just looks normal and coincidental and everything has a rational explanation behind it so even though i can tell its purposeful because she is a very routine person and these actions are not at all the norm for her, if i tried to say anything about it to anyone else i would look completely and utterly insane

Literally eight months after I make this blog, to the day, I finally put when it was established on my description.
