#it wasnt an option though of course

[soliddaddy96]

so freaking depressed right now

[iloveotters2000]

Still constantly overwhelmed, but I'm getting professional help, which is nice and leaves me hopeful. Maybe it'll give me the energy to maintain my friendships again because I have been self-isolating more and more frequently.

I still miss seeing her sometimes, but it's more the concept of her I think. And the concept of someone who understands me deeply. Someone who feels the same emotional turbulence. She's hurt me though by (I feel) distancing herself, cancelling activities last minute, making me feel like I'm not important (which was even more present when we were dating and everything went south). I still like her as a person, but because she struggles w the same exact issues it is hard to get a sense of security and safety in our relationship...it's also hard to maintain boundaries when we were once closer than just friends.... It's not a very healthy dynamic, although I don't want to admit it and I especially don't want to lose her....

More Notes

This is slightly opened ended — I have no idea what goes into owning a team, who should be team principal…and I don’t know if I’ll ever write that out. I might write their wedding one day though…

[doodlebeeberry]

i wasn't around early enough to hfjone for the voting to still be there, so take this with a grain of salt, but i remember comments saying that the elimination before airy slipped and disappeared for 7 months there was a write in answer, so obviously some people wrote in airy and then holy shit he actually disappeared!!! i also remember someone saying that at some point liam was the only option available to vote for? again maybe this isn't true and these comments if they are still there are probably buried but i remember people saying it!!!

Yep, thats all true, i remember it! The only-liam vote and the write-in vote were actually the same if i remember right (either that, or the write in vote was on episode 6's form, when both liam and bryce were up, instead of 7's). Airy disappearing in the following episode wasnt due to the viewer vote of course, though i imagine that, when adding the write-in option cheesy had probably figured people would put airys name in there. I wouldve if i were him, at any rate. Back when that episode came out and the form was open people were putting all sorts of silly things in there, though airy was the most popular. I could probably finds some posts talking about it if dug back far enough.

Almost all the vote forms were at least a little odd, slipping in coherency the longer season one went on until they became kinda nonsensical. Spelling errors, incorrect names, weird options, never-ending vote windows, all that. It was very much a topic of conversation at the time, even if only in passing. Tbh i think its kind of a shame that the forms arent linked under the episodes any more. It added a little extra flair to the expirence, even though i guess its not really needed as much now as it was back when the show was still presenting itself as being a bit more conventional, for lack of a better word.

It does make me wonder if anybody still has the links to those forms anywhere though

FROM EDEN.

-> Kim Dokja & Cale Henituse with a reincarnated! reader

saintspeaks;“I SLITHERED HERE FROM EDEN JUST TO SIT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR”-Hozier. JAIDJSKADJ I LOVE THIS SONF OMFG. Also, the ‘you’ in the Kim Dokja x reader only read twsa, but the ‘you’ in the Cale x reader read tcf.

Kim Dokja

A reader of TWSA is all you were — well, one of the two committed readers. You werent supposed to read it, in fact, you stumbled apon it on a sad friday night. But when you met Kim Dokja, the lone reader, you realized why you were never supposed to touch that story.

You’d only survived this far because you binge-read the chapters, and had your handy phone with a save file of the story!

You were living quite comfortably in the apocalypse, traveling alone because you couldnt commit to a group. You knew that the moment that danger came towards you and the group you’d abandon them, so traveling alone was the best option.

Until you were traveling in the underground subway and came across Yoo Junghyuk— the main character himself.

The only thing that happened between you two was a harsh glare met with ice-cold eyes in response.

The only thing that you were thinking was, ‘you dont scare me, bitch.’

And he just stormed off.

You hadnt thought much of the encounter—in fact, you never wanted to meet him again. But, of course, fate just had to have you two cross paths again. But, this time he had a companion with him.

And lord, was he the most handsome man you’d ever seen— even though you could barely make out his facial features.

But he’d never been in the novel. An he seemed just as surprised by your appearance too — because you didn’t have a sponsor, and you’re too strong and seem too knowledgeable for an average person.

The idea of you being the other reader lingers in his mind— but he quickly dismissed the thought as he kept walking past you, following Yoo Junghyuk.

Cale Henituse

You were a normal girl who reincarnated into a noble Lady from a small kingdom in the Western Continent. Since you reincarnated into such a small kingdom, you had no reason to change the story unless it came charging at you.

…and it did.

You visited Lady Amiru in the Ubarr territory.(bad idea number 1)

The moment you started talking to her about using a boat to sail at night, a wolf-looking guy came charging at you, screaming about smelling ‘strong’. You’d never done any training or fighting, and only acted like how a normal noble lady should in these kinds of stories. But, you realized he wasnt looking at you, but behind you. And guess who was behind you?

Cale Henituse—who was hiding behind a rock????

You’d recently been reincarnated so you didnt know much, but what you did know was that some things had changed. One of those things? Cale Himself.

You avoided the Henituse house like the plague— if you got too close to Cale, you’d get tangled up in the story, and you couldnt have that. Excusing yourself the moment you saw the fiery red hair, you ran off of the sandy beach to the room lady Amiru let you use during your stay.

Cale was extremely confused—who the hell were you? why were you here? did you know about the ancient powers? Why did you need a boat?

He let out a deep sigh, wondering why he just keeps walking into trouble—he could just feel you being another wall between him and his slacker life.

speaking of cho it's a bit disheartening that the overall interpretation of her and harry's date is that she just wanted to talk about cedric and had a crazy outburst about it

their date started out really good in fact, while you can tell there's underlying issues of harry just not having time for something normal like dates when there's the whole main plot going on(and also he was very nervous for his first date), harry still finds her easy to talk to. only thwarted because pansy mocked them along her way

The subject of the Quidditch World Cup carried them all the way down the drive and out through the gates. Harry could hardly believe how easy it was to talk to her, no more difficult, in fact, than talking to Ron and Hermione, and he was just starting to feel confident and cheerful when a large gang of Slytherin girls passed them, including Pansy Parkinson.

this throws them both off entirely, having this long, awkward silence that extended in hogsmeade

Harry could think of nothing else to say about Quidditch, and Cho, slightly flushed, was watching her feet.

they wander for a bit still with the awkward silence, and cho even tries to break the ice by opening a topic about sirius and death eaters. it's a bit lighter topic for cho, since she's only a bystander, but it's not for harry, so he can only agree to her and not much else

by the time they decided to go to madam puddifoot's, harry has a hard time saying his true opinion to cho

“Cute, isn’t it?” said Cho happily. “Er . . . yeah,” said Harry untruthfully.

there's still the awkward silence, with cho trying to gain back their momentum (she introduces the topic of umbridge which harry happily latches onto), harry is extremely nervous because of roger davis' and his gf's PDA. when the topic eventually dies down again. notice how despite all the awkwardness, cho hasn't mentioned cedric even once in their date. the problem starts after this

“Er . . . listen, d’you want to come with me to the Three Broomsticks at lunchtime? I’m meeting Hermione Granger there.”

this is where cho's tone suddenly change. especially with how harry responded immediately after

“Yeah. Well, she asked me to, so I thought I would. D’you want to come with me? She said it wouldn’t matter if you did.” “Oh . . . well . . . that was nice of her.” But Cho did not sound as though she thought it was nice at all; on the contrary, her tone was cold and all of a sudden she looked rather forbidding.

harry of course doesn't realize this, as right after he was mustering up the courage to hold cho's hand. i'm sure harry didn't intend to sound dismissive of cho, but to cho, it sounds like her presence there was optional. and that harry even needed hermione's permission if cho being there was ok. in the reader's view, cho is clearly jealous

“He asked me out, you know,” she said in a quiet voice. “A couple of weeks ago. Roger. I turned him down, though.”

“I came in here with Cedric last year,” said Cho.

then cho immaturely attempts to make harry jealous; first with roger davis, then cedric. but opening up the topic of cedric just led to cho shifting to grief again

“I’ve been meaning to ask you for ages. . . . Did Cedric — did he m-m-mention me at all before he died?”

i don't know why this gets clowned alot, they were dating and cho was grieving. she had NO closure, in her eyes cedric just entered the maze and disappeared. harry may be the wrong person to pour this onto but the progression of this scene wasnt sudden at all, and i'm not going to clown on cho's character for grieving and having no outlet for it

“Well — I have talked about it,” Harry said in a whisper, “to Ron and Hermione, but —”

this all cycles back to cho's jealousy with hermione, she doesn't understand why harry's more willing to share personal feelings with them than the one he's currently dating. harry doesn't understand why cho's acting like this in the first place. they're two people with different experiences and they don't really know each other

“It’s not like that!” said Harry, and he was so relieved at finally understanding what she was annoyed about that he laughed, which he realized a split second too late was a mistake.

by the time he finally realized what's up his reaction was misinterpreted by cho again, and the date ends with cho walking out

i think this whole date scene shows the problem with their relationship. they did reconcile after this for a bit, but it's obvious that harry is just too preoccupied with the main plot to prioritize cho, as well as he's becoming disillusioned from the image he had of cho prior and now sees her as a 'girl who cries alot'

the problem is they don't understand each other. cho incorrectly assumes things about harry and tries to reach out, but harry is not on that level with cho yet and can't possibly talk to her about the order or sirius etc. there's also the problem that harry just has the tendency to bury his feelings and not really talk about it even with ron and hermione

i don't like that cho is being vilified for literally acting like a teenager that's kept in the dark lol... she's the one person who's really close to cedric and she doesn't know anything until the quibbler article released. she's not being unreasonable in the date, the date just showcases the problems in their relationship at this current point of time

anyways to close this off, still my favorite harry outburst

“Women!” he muttered angrily, sloshing down the rain-washed street with his hands in his pockets. “What did she want to talk about Cedric for anyway? Why does she always want to drag up a subject that makes her act like a human hosepipe?”

truly a wtf harry moment

[seeminglydark]

what's the timeline for caros gender exploration and settling in to their identity? in some of the comics earlier I thought they mentioned wanted to be a boy pre transition, so I'm curious as to how they settled on the enby identity (did they ever play around w he/him pronouns for ex.?) and what that looked like. i absolutely LOVE their design and learning more abt them!!

hello! So first off, Caro mirrors my own gender journey growing up in the mid nineties pretty closely, just translated onto paper and at a younger point in their life and set in mid 2000's, which is why i write them the way I do, and also why i explore different stages of their journey openly. They were created to help me understand and cope with myself <3

Timeline wise, they've always known they didn't feel like a girl, living in a small town with the only queer person they know being a 15 year old gay teenage boy, they didn't have access to resources to know there was more out there, and that gender didn't exist in a binary. Of course sully explains trans to them, but he doesn't know much or totally get it either at that point. They DO experiment with he/him pronouns, because they don't know there's more options out there for them, switching over shortly after leaving home and starting work at the GasCo, so 18-to about 20, and Sully uses 'he' for them in private before that, at 16. Their he/him years are spent emulating the boys they knew and looked up too, sully and his crew mostly, so a lot of oversized clothes, black, punk things, even though that wasnt really them either. It still felt like a costume. They still didn't see themself in the mirror or hear it in peoples voices. They feel out of body, like a ghost.

They start learning more about trans things when they meet Goldie, their 'handler' and manager for their show, once they start gaining traction. I haven't fully written this part so it might change later, but I never actually use Caro's pronouns in the podcast, because I have this image in my head that when Goldie meets them for the first time, she is unsure, and defaults to 'they.' and Caro has their AHA moment. This is closely related to my AHA moment when someone who met me was unsure and defaulted to 'they.' I can't explain the euphoria of finding your moment, but if you have with ANY set of pronouns or descriptor words (for example, both Caro and I prefer masc descriptors ie: handsome), you know what I mean. Personally I burst into tears and probably terrified that poor person. I'm sure Caro did the same ahaha. Sometimes we can't know things until we try them on, sometimes that can take a few tries. Sometimes we find ourselves by complete accident somewhere along the way. And thats ok.

Slightly related: I usually default to 'they' if im talking ABOUT them, though I will use their current pronoun if I'm telling a story. I don't have an issue with people using they/them or he/him with adult Caro or she/they/he for young Caro. Their hairstyle is usually a tell for those following along, long for she, mullet for he, undercut/crop for they <3 but we don't stress about it around here.

heres a post I made actually that breaks down Caro's Gender Journey in a Sears Catalog kind of way <3 https://seeminglydark.tumblr.com/post/760091118673313793

[twisted-king]

Hello! Since you also write genshin, I've thought about reader or F!S/O being from Teyvat. But that isnt really the main point. How 'bout their F!S/O is from Sumeru and is strictly bestfriends with Cyno and Alhaitham. How would Trey, Azul, Jade, Floyd, and Jamil feel about their F!S/O having boy bestfriends back at her world? Maybe if they're jealous, reader tries to comfort them by saying that Alhaitham is engaged(to Kaveh)XD Lol

You dont have to do this if its to much♡

Oddly specific but I like the cut of your jib!

Also can be read as genter neutral, I don't reall mention gender on this one?

Trey, Azul, Jade, Floyd, and Jamil X F!SO from Teyvat

who is also besties with Cyno and Alhaitham

Trey Clover

Well youre from a whole different world! Magic seems to exist in some capacity at least.

He doesn't know what a Zatyun peach or a Sunsettia is.

But he tries v hard to make you things that remind you of home sometimes!

He actually does a pretty good job at it too!

And thats where the issue arives.

Whenever he asks about your homeland he knows he is going to hear about your best friends

He's trying SO hard to be normal about this

Trey loves you so much but, he gets a little jealous!

You've done so much with these two!!!

"And Cyno's jokes are the absolute WORST! I swear some of the things he says are worse than Ace's!" "Oh that's... nice!"

but they're your best friends! He really shouldn't be jealous.

"I still don't understand why Alhaitham is so jacked, like all he does is read books all day!"

He really shouldn't be jealous

"And I'm kind of glad its never too hot around here! Like I know he works primarily in the desert but like put a shirt on sometimes! You know?"

But damm its hard.

He tries to be subtle (not really)

"So have you ever like... done anything with one of these guys?" "What do you mean?" "Like have you dated one of them..?"

oh.... OH!

You laugh at that, he's embrassed "Oh gosh NEVER! They both have boyfriends anyhow! Alhaitham is engaged!" "Oh."

You nod and give him a little kith

Wow he's relieved!

Azul Ashengrotto

He loves learning about you and your home world! Truly!!!

Azul thinks your mind is briliant, you're so smart and quick on your feet due to years of travel!

With travel comes a lot of experiences

a lot.

without him.

He's playing it cool though! suuuper cool

"Oh I remember Alhaitham would never answer anything that wasnt formatted or completed properly! maybe you could do the same? it would certainly free up some time, no?" "Of course it woudl free up some time, dear... But" "buut?" "Well it wouldn't be fitting of my benevolent nature now would it, my love?"

Azul keeps trying to prove he's a better boyfriend than your old friends

He needs you to know he's the best option for you <3

"And could this 'Cyno' make you a delightful seafood pasta like this?" "No, not really, he was more into rice." "I see..."

Oh hey he made you curry and rice

You know, by the way. He is NOT sneaky

After another bout of showing off, you finally say something.

"They have boyfriends, you know?" "huh?" "Cyno and Alhaitham? they have partners. You don't have to be jealous." "Why would I be jealous, dearest?"

DENIER

Denies his jealous to this day but he gets happier after you reassure him.

Jade Leech

Yeah he's super cool about this!

for the most part...

He's extremely interested in learning about the flora in your world!

and he thinks those vishap creatures you compare him to sound rather interesting.

Jade being rather curious in nature comes in handy! since he doesnt seem to get jealous.

His questions are... odd, though. they kind of make sense?

"Cyno once took out like-- 10 guys in like a MINUTE! it was so cool! "Is he that fast in the depths of the sea?" "No-" "I see..."

Sometimes he's a little less slick though

"OH my gosh Alhaitham is so weird about soup! He hates the stuff because it could get on his books of all things!" "Does he consume beverages as he reads? tea perhaps?" "Yeah, sometimes." *Pleased eel noises*

He's just being careful :)

Jade often prefers to dicuss your best friends while in the kitchen. he likes spending this time with you!

And he has his knives and mushrooms at his disposal.

*chop chop chop* "And so Haitham and I used to skip out on akademiya meetings together-" *chopchopchop-* "But Cyno would ALWAYS 'catch' us just before the meeting would actually ends-" *ChopChopChopChop-* "So then he'd bring us to Kaveh, Alhaitham's fiance to-" "He has a fiance?" "yeah,why?" "no reason." *chop~ chop~ chop~*

He's still keeping the information from his... questioning in mind.

Can't be too careful, after all.

Floyd Leech

He loves his shrimpy's stories!!!

He hates his shrimpy's stories :((

Floyd is reaaal conflicted. He thinks you're so interesting! your world seems like fun!! he wants to go there with you.

But not with those men you keep talking about

"So sometimes there are these HUGE mushrooms that kind of act like a launchpad! they're super springy." "Eh? Jade might like soemthing like that... OOOH! do ya think if I throw someone (Ace) on one of those they'd still bounce?" "Yeah they would! one time while going after a criminal, Cyno had to-" "Eeeeh I'm bored. You coming to my next game?"

Subtlety? not THIS eel

He audibly groans when you bring them up sometimes.

But he still loves hearing you talk! so it really confusing sometimesz

"So genius invocation uses 8 elements, 7 from the nations, one is omni. Usually the cards are based off of vision users like Diluc of mondstadt, Arataki Itto, from Inazuma... OH! there is one of my best friend, Alhaitham, he's dendro and Cyno's is electro, its actually" Oh he's no longer looking at you.

You get an idea... "There is one of Haitham's fiance, Kaveh" "Oh really?"

GOT HIS ASS

You're his girlfriend, you know him best.

He's a little less weird about listening to your stories now, he's way more enaged.

He still tugs you closer to him when you mention other men, but thats kind of normal for him now.

Jamil Viper

A confident king? He's not really jealous. He knows he can be better than them.

Plus they're just friends to you.

But in all honestly he like... doesn't care too much about Teyvat.

You're here now, with him. not them.

Don't get him wrong, Jamil likes hearing about what your world!

There's only oneee little thing he doesnt love hearing.

"Sometimes I miss the food from Teyvat... Cyno always made the best Tahchin." "The best you say?" "Yeah! he shaped it like a pyramid every time he made it!" "Have you ever tried mine?" "You make tahchin!?"

He's smug, you'll love his cooking more than that Cyno's.

He serves you a plate of tahchin, golden brown, perfectly seasoned, barberries topping the rounded rice dish "So, what do you think?" "This is so good! I kind of miss the padisarah petals though.."

The hell is THAT?

"Is it... not up to your expectations, my flower?" "No its delicious! I think I just miss the way my friend would make it.."

He's a little grumpy about it!!

Jamil gets kind of huffy with you next time you're together.

He's not ignoring you but just don't bring up food for a while.

Snake man will just respond with "Why don't you ask Cyno." when it comes to cooking for the next day or two...

Soooo, you've probably noticed Ive been replaying HZD recently so my mind's been stuck on the franchise for a while.

I finally took the time to actually try and experience Burning Shores for the first time, this time with an unbiased opinion.

Bcs, ngl, when it came out, I was very negative towards it for a couple of reasons. It already started out with me not being able to freaking play this DLC, even though I was so excited for it, cos while HFW was on PS4, the DLC wasnt. And Im wasnt going to buy a whole ass PS5 just for a DLC.

(I will get it once I buy a PS5 for MH Wilds though).

And then, ofc, the elephant in the room - Seyka, or rather Aloy's relationship with her.

I'll preface this with, though it should be obvious with my content, I do NOT have a problem with Aloy being in a gay relationship.

What rly irked me, and honestly still irks me, is that Aloy finally gets to experience new feelings IN A FUCKING DLC. AN EXTENSION A LOT OF THE PLAYERBASE WONT PLAY.

The second reason I didnt enjoy this decision was bcs it felt so rushed. I mean, we're talking about Aloy here! Miss "I dont have time for feelings bcs I gotta save the world"! Miss "I barely just learnt to let others in"!

From what Ive heard, the DLC is over the course of a few weeks/months, so it's not like they fell in love just like that, but Ive also heard that while playing you do not get a feel for that passage of time. I'll have to experience that for myself though.

Now that Ive had some distance from the franchise though, my feelings have changed a bit

Im not going to lie and say I now loooove this decision. No, I am still miffed such enourmous character developement for Aloy is stuck IN A DLC. Not to mention that it was such a bold move to try this with a new character, cos this relationship being perceived well hinges on the player liking Seykay and that fast. Imo she's a fine character but also nothing special.

Now, I do have to say, I am really happy that Aloy has finally come so far that she allows such intimate feelings to develop, or rather, that the devs let her be this way. I know a lot of us still perceive Aloy as this single minded protag, that wont let anyone in bcs "the mission is too important", so Im glad Guerilla shows us that Aloy has undergone quite the growth.

Im also pleasantly surprised that Guerilla has the guts to include romance for Aloy, bcs they were one leg in the "strong women need no (wo)men" pit, so it's great to see they dont let Aloy fall into that trope.

Now, for the FUN part.

I actually have a conspiracy theory, ie I am gaslighting myself on why such a big thing is stuck in a DLC.

I think Guerilla is testing the waters to see how players react. I am pretty sure they can gather the data on what dialogue options players used, so Im thinking this:

Guerilla is trying to gauge the player reaction on a) Aloy developing feelings, b) players thinking Aloy is ready/willing for a relationship, c) same sex relationships. They tried killing quite a few birds with one stone.

I have seen quite a few teasing, winky face posts and replies from Guerilla staff about romance options in the third installment, so my guess (delusion) is that the relationship is hidden in the DLC so Guerilla can plan on how much and obvious to include several romance options in the last title.

I know this is all just wishful thinking, but even if Seyka is a good character, I hope to fucking god that they dont just take that relationship decision away from us, esp with a character bound to a DLC.

Guerilla gave us such a wonderful cast of characters over the last two games, and if they want to give Aloy an "end game" in the third title, I hope they do let us choose with who. Or at least I hope they dont force a relationship we cant choose onto us.

Cos as much as Aloy is her own person, it is still US that make the decisions in game. Through our individual playstyles , we give Aloy our own interpretation. Now, we cant change her core values, but still, I hope to GAIA that Guerilla will give us enough wiggle room.

(Guerilla, Im begging you, Ive already waited 8 years, please dont let my ship sink)

Part Two

Where we begin again

Fifth Chapter

Three months after NYC. A summer in Miami. No time like the present.

Danny was back in his hometown for two weeks, a short but much-needed break before diving back into work and a massive new project that awaited him. The first few days were spent with family, relaxing and recharging. But as his second and final week approached, he couldn’t shake the thought of (Y/N), who now lived in Miami as well. He hadn’t heard from her since he’d texted her his number, and since both of them were over-thinkers, they hadn’t managed to spark a real conversation over text.

That night, lying in bed, Danny couldn’t help but reach out, sending her a text message before he regretted it for good.

"Hey (Initial)! Hope you're doing well. I’m in town for a couple of weeks and thought it’d be nice to catch up if you're up for it. Let me know what you think. See you soon! :)"

When (Y/N) saw his message, she froze for a moment. It had been a while since they last spoke, and she hadn’t expected him to reach out after sometime. She’d wanted to respond right away, but her schedule was packed. Hours passed, and though she saw the ‘read’ status on her phone, she couldn’t find the right words or moment to just do it.

Danny, after noticing hours had passed, began to doubt himself. Maybe he had misread the whole scenario. Perhaps she really wasn’t as interested in reconnecting as he’d hoped.

In reality, it wasnt that she wasn’t interested. She was just busy and, honestly, a little overwhelmed by it all. The next evening, after mentally editing her response a few times, she hit ‘send.’

"Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been caught up this weekend, but let’s plan something for the week. What are you in the mood for?"

Thursday of that same week, (Y/N) hurried through the streets of Miami, trying to get to the ice cream shop on time. Of course, today of all days, everyone at the office had needed something from her, pushing her lunch break nearly twenty minutes late. Now, someone was already waiting for her.

As she neared the shop, she slowed her pace, taking a deep breath to regain her composure. Outside, Danny sat at a table, focused on his phone, his posture relaxed. (Y/N) adjusted her purse and walked toward him, catching his attention as she approached.

“Oh hey! You made it.” A smile spread across his face as he stood, greeting her with a side hug and a quick kiss on the cheek.

“I’m so, so sorry. Work’s been crazy today—I hope you don’t mind the change of plans.”

Danny laughed, shaking his head. “Not at all. I’m chill with whatever. It’s good to see you.”

(Y/N) smiled as they headed inside, scanning the array of ice cream flavors.

“You eat anything yet?” Danny asked after a beat.

She shook her head, still focused on the options in front of her.

“Want to grab something else first?”

“What? No, no. I’m good. Ice cream’s better than real food anyway.”

Danny shot her a half-smile, clearly unconvinced. She caught the look and glanced back at him.

“I like your hair,” she said, changing the subject. “It looks longer than the last time I saw you. Actually, I think this is the longest I’ve ever seen it on you.”

“Oh, yeah.” He ran a hand through it absently. “I have to shave it all off for a project, so I figured I’d just let it do its thing for now.”

“Are you serious? What a waste of good lucious hair.”

Danny laughed, shaking his head as they paused to place their orders.

Outside the day felt warm and with a thick scent of freshly baked waffle cones wafting from the shop behind them. (Y/N) and Danny sat down on a bench and entertained themselves in a casual conversation while the occasional murmur of passing conversations mixed with the distant hum of traffic.

“So, I’m kind of curious… Where do you work again? I don’t think we ever talked about that.”

(Y/N) pulled the spoon from her mouth, tilting her head as she considered the question. “I work at a marketing agency as a Content Production Assistant. I handle all the audio editing for their productions and stuff like that.”

Danny hummed, nodding as he swirled his spoon through the melting edges of his ice cream. “That sounds cool. Do you like it?”

She hesitated. “I guess… yeah. It’s not exactly where I want to be, but I don’t mind it. It pays the bills, I’m getting real-world experience, and I’ve gotten more comfortable with my work. I just wish I had more time for my own projects.”

Danny took a slow breath, his gaze drifting toward her, resting his elbows on his knees. “You’ll get there,” he said. “When I got out of college, I struggled bad. At one point, I was juggling three jobs while still trying to stay on top of auditions and callbacks. I was desperate for anything.” He chuckled, shaking his head. “It took me a long time to get to where I am now, and honestly? I still feel like I’m barely getting by.”

“Shut up.” (Y/N) rolled her eyes with a smile. “You’re doing amazing.”

Danny turned to her with a smirk, tapping his spoon against his cup. “Yeah? So that means you’ve seen me on TV?”

Her posture stiffened. She licked her lips, suddenly more focused on her ice cream as she stole a quick glance at him.

“Ohhh, so you have!” His grin widened.

“Uhh…” She stayed quiet, gauging his reaction. “Actually… I haven’t. Like… at all.”

Danny’s smile faltered. “Wait, are you serious?”

(Y/N) bit her lip, suppressing a laugh when she noticed the slight flush creeping onto his cheeks.

“This is embarrassing… Why would you say I’m good if you’ve never seen me?!”

“Because!” She laughed, nudging him with her elbow. “I’ve seen you in your element. I know you’re good.”

Danny exhaled dramatically, slouching back against the bench. “Okay. I’m done with this conversation.”

“No, no! Wait.” She nudged him again, her grin playful. “I actually do want to know what you’re working on. Are you gonna tell me about your next project?”

Danny turned his head slightly, giving her an exaggerated, unimpressed look before shaking his head.

“Oh, come on. Don’t be such a baby, Danny. I said I’m sorry.” She playfully punched his arm, and though he said nothing, a small smile crept onto his face.

“Well, it’s good that you’re sorry… but I really can’t say anything for legal reasons.”

“Oh.” She blinked at him.

Danny smirked, barely holding back a laugh.

“Guess you’ll just have to wait until it’s out in theaters.”

(Y/N) was about to fire back a playful remark, entertained by the easy rhythm of their conversation, when her phone started to ring. She ignored it at first, hoping it would stop on its own. It did—only for a series of text messages to pop up on her screen.

Her eyes scanned the messages quickly, and as she reached the last one, her expression shifted.

“Are you serious?” she muttered, exhaling sharply as she read it again.

Danny, catching the change in her demeanor, leaned slightly toward her. “You have to go?”

She nodded with a frown. “Yeah… Apparently, my lunch break was supposed to be shorter today whether I wanted to or not. We have a last-minute client meeting, and I have to be there.” The disappointment was clear in her voice. “I’m really sorry, Danny.”

“Don’t apologize. It’s not your fault.” He smiled, already standing up and taking the empty cup from her hands to toss it in the trash. “At least we got to hang out for a bit. We’ll plan something next time I’m in Miami.”

“Right… Sure.” She tried to return his smile, though it came out a little sheepish. Leaning in, the girl gave him a small hug. “Thanks for reaching out. We’ll stay in touch, alright?”

“Sounds good to me. Now go before they call you again.”

(Y/N) nodded, waving once before hurrying back toward her job. Danny stood there for a beat, hands in his pockets, watching her go before turning in the opposite direction.

But as she walked, something nagged at her. It had all felt too short and too fast. Even more-so when she had taken her sweet time to actually plan something decent with him. And now, the reality settled in—she probably wouldn’t see him again for months. Maybe longer.

Before she could overthink it, she pulled out her phone and dialed his number.

Danny glanced at his screen, momentarily confused. Had she called by mistake? Still, he answered.

“You butt-dialed me or something?” His laughter was the first thing she heard.

“No, not really.” She hesitated only for a second. “When exactly are you leaving Miami?”

“In two days.” His tone shifted slightly, curiosity creeping in. “Why?”

“Are you busy tomorrow afternoon?”

“Uh, no, not really. I was just gonna spend the day with my mom. Why?”

“Would she hate me if I stole you for a couple of hours?”

Danny let out a chuckle. “I doubt she’d hate you for any reason in the world, to be honest.”

(Y/N) smiled, knowing damn well he was right about that.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow after five. I’ll send you the details later, okay?”

“Sounds perfect. I’ll see you tomorrow, Miss (Initial).”

“See you tomorrow. Bye.”

As she hung up, a smile tugged at her lips, her chest suddenly feeling lighter. What she didn’t know was that on the other end of the call, Danny felt the exact same way. After all, maybe going back to being friends wasn’t going to be as hard as it seemed.

The next day rolled in, and thankfully, (Y/N) was on time and much more relaxed than the day before. She waited at the park, casually snacking as she watched people stroll by, some walking, others riding bikes along the path. The sun was beginning to set, casting a golden hue over the scene, and the usual Miami heat had softened under the evening breeze.

Just as a new playlist started playing in her earphones, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She pulled out one earbud and glanced over her shoulder.

“Hey,” Danny greeted her with an easy smile.

“Oh, hi!” Her own smile mirrored his as she took a quick look at him from head to toe, checking if he was dressed for the occasion. He was—comfortable athletic wear, a hat, and, as always, the same chain resting on his chest.

“Let’s go. We’ve got places to be!” she announced, already starting to walk.

Danny chuckled, shaking his head at how naturally she spoke to him, as if they had just seen each other minutes ago. He followed her lead, still unsure of their destination, until they stopped in front of a rollerblade rental shop.

“You’re kidding.” He looked from the skates to her, eyebrows raised. “Are we roller skating?”

(Y/N) nodded nonchalantly.

He let out a laugh. “Did it even cross your mind that I might not know how to do that?”

“You don’t?” She tilted her head, though she didn’t seem all that concerned.

“I do,” he admitted. “But you didn’t know that.”

“I guessed.” She simply shrugged. “ I don’t, by the way. Figured it would be a good time to try it out.”

Danny stared at her, half amused, half baffled. “Bro, what? Are you crazy?” He laughed again, shaking his head. “I cannot wait to see how this ends. You’re unbelievable.”

(Y/N) finally laughed, not bothering to argue as she went ahead with the rental process. Before he could protest further, she handed him a pair of skates and dragged him back toward the park, just steps away from Miami Beach.

They sat on a bench, helping each other lace up their skates. Danny stood first, testing his balance before extending both hands toward her.

“Alright, come on,” he said, steady and sure. “Let’s see if you survive this.”

(Y/N) took his hands, already laughing as she wobbled to her feet.

The moment (Y/N) was fully standing, she realized she had made a mistake.

Her feet wobbled dangerously beneath her, rolling in opposite directions as she clung onto Danny’s hands for dear life.

“Oh—oh no, wait—” she stammered, trying to steady herself.

Danny, already grinning, barely held back a laugh.

“Oh, this is bad” he said dramatically, his grip tightening to keep her upright. “I thought I was gonna have to help you a little but you might actually die.”

“Shut up!” she whined, struggling to find her balance. “This is harder than it looks!”

Danny, completely at ease on his skates, skated backward while still holding onto her, making it look effortless.”

“See, the key is—”

Before he could finish his sentence, (Y/N) yelped as her foot slid forward too fast, and just like that—bam—she hit the pavement.

For a split second, there was silence.

Then, Danny lost it

“Oh my god—” He doubled over, laughing so hard he had to brace himself against his knees. “That was amazing. I wish I had my phone out.”

(Y/N) groaned from the ground. “ Can you please not?! “

“No, no, I’m motivating you,” he said between chuckles, offering her a hand. “Come on, get up. Let’s try this again.”

She took his hand and, with his help, got back on her feet. This time, she lasted about ten seconds before her legs betrayed her again.

Thud.

Danny clutched his stomach, laughing even harder.

“I swear—” (Y/N) glared at him from the ground. “If you laugh one more time—”

“Sorry, sorry!” He wiped a fake tear from his eye. “I’m done, I swear. Come on champ. Get up.”

He held out a hand again, and after a second, she narrowed her eyes at him but took it anyway.

“Alright,” This time Danny pulled her closer so she had no choice but to hold onto his shoulders for support. “We’re gonna take this slow. No sudden movements.”

(Y/N) nodded seriously, gripping onto him like her life depended on it.

“Good.” He smirked. “Now… say ‘Wheee!’”

She blinked. “What?”

He suddenly pushed off, skating forward with her clinging onto him.

“Danny, NO!”

Her scream echoed through the park as he burst out laughing all over again.

Two very long hours passed—and after an embarrassing number of falls—(Y/N) finally started to get the hang of it. She still wasn’t graceful, and Danny never missed an opportunity to have fun with it, but at least she could move without immediately wiping out.

By the time they returned their skates, both of them were starving. So, without much thought, they walked to a nearby burger spot, grabbed their food, and made their way to the now-dark beach.

The sound of the waves filled the quiet space as they sat down on the sand, shoes off, letting the night breeze cool them down. Danny took a big bite of his burger, chewing thoughtfully before turning to (Y/N).

"Alright, I’ll admit it," he said, stretching his legs out in front of him. "That was way more fun than I expected. Even if you’re all bruised up and traumatized after it.

(Y/N) scoffed, nudging his arm. "You know what? You’re actually a hater. There’s no need to mention that stuff.”

Danny laughed, shaking his head. "Yeah, yeah. But seriously, this was great. We need to do it again."

(Y/N) smiled, resting her chin on her knee as she looked out at the water. "I’d love to. Just gotta figure out when we’ll actually be in the same city again."

Danny hummed in agreement. "Yeah… schedules are a pain. But we’ll make it work. Even if it takes months, we’ll plan something.”

"Deal," (Y/N) said, holding out her pinky.

Danny grinned and locked his pinky with hers without hesitation. "Deal."

For a moment, neither of them said anything, just enjoying the cool breeze and the comfortable ease between them.

However long it took, they both knew this wouldn’t be the last time.

[cal-flakes]

can you do a story where the reader and rafe are bestfriends and he confesses that he likes her & he wasnt expecting her to feel the same way but she does?🧍🏼‍♀️

╰┈➤ bestfriend!rafe tells y/n the truth (blurb)

warnings: light swearing, kinda hurt/comfort, fluff.

summary: rafe get a bit fed up of listening to his friends sob story’s about boys who don’t treat her well. (very heartbreak girl by 5sos)

rafe sighed heavily as his hand ached, having been stroking y/n’s hair for quite some time. his eyes flickered between her and television, trying to see if she’d fallen asleep or not.

“y/n?” he whispered, jolting her slightly. groaning in response, she turned to face him, showing him her puffy, flushed face, covered in dried tears from earlier. “yeah?” she cooed, resting her head against the arm of the couch as she sat up, cuddling into his side.

“i thought you’d fallen asleep, are you feeling any better?” he queried, a sad look in his eyes. “i am now that you’re here” she smiled sweetly, allowing her head to fall into the crook of his neck.

sighing, his eyes moved to the television once again, deep in thought as she nuzzled into him, not caring for the splotches of tears cascading down his white t-shirt.

“do you really mean that?” he asked, deciding to go for the kill. “mean what?” she hummed, glancing back up at him.

“do you really mean that you’re happier when i’m here?” he pushed, watching as her facing contorted into confusion. “of course i do, you’re my best friend, i’m always happier when you’re around..” she muttered tiredly, a need for sleep apparent as a violet hue spread underneath her eyes.

“no but, that’s not what i- actually, it’s fine, it doesn’t matter..” rafe huffed, throwing his head back against the couch in defeat. she’d never understand, he thought. “hey, no. it does matter, cause something is clearly bothering you” y/n argued.

the sudden lack of warmth in his side couldn’t go unnoticed as she sat up in a flash, confronting him head on. “what do you mean rafe?” she sighed, resting her now crossed legs on his waist as he avoided her eyes, biting at his nails.

“y/n please, it’s fine” he plead, wanting the ground to swallow him up as he realised his options. lie, or tell the truth. he didn’t want to tell the truth, but he also didn’t want to lie. mostly because he knew that she would know in an instant if he was lying, her ability to tell honestly grated on him sometimes.

“but you seem sad rafe, and i hate when you’re sad, and like- y’know, i’m sad too! so if you tell me why you’re sad, we can be sad together” she rambled, giggling slightly as she prodded at his cheeks, clearly pushing his buttons. “so tell me why you’re sad, cause i’m sure i can help!” she beamed, cupping his cheeks.

his heartbeat quickened as he leant into her warm touch, enjoying the slight scrape of her nails against his skin.

“fine, okay. i’m sad, because..a girl i really like, like- really really like, doesn’t look at me the same way..” he mumbled, once again diverting his eyes. “seriously? who would be stupid enough to not like you back? that’s insane!” she exclaimed, pulling back to show him her shocked face. chuckling, he nodded along with her. “yeah, you’d think so huh?”

“do you want me to talk to her? i could put in a good word?” she teased, though her words were genuine. she’d do anything for him.“don’t be silly, she wouldn’t listen, she’s got too much on her mind already..”

“what’s more important than you?” she huffed, crossing her arms, utterly surprised by this girls behaviour towards her friend. humming, he picked at his fingers. “what?” y/n asked, noticing his change in demeanour immediately.

she scoffed as he fell completely silent, staring into her eyes. “rafe, what is it?” she demanded, growing frustrated. “well, it’s you..” he whispered, pulling into his lips into a thin line “what’s me? i don’t understand..”

“y’know, the girl i really like, who as more important things on her mind? it’s you y/n..”

“it’s me?”

GALLY X READER!TINY

DISCLAIMER: i’ll be substituting "y/n" for "tiny" if that’s something you struggle with digesting? Keep scrolling! I dont need to be harrassed bc of it. Its not that serious. (No its not a oc. It’s literally you with a nickname. Instead of typing all ridiculous (y/n/n) i gave it a different word. Thats it and thats all! Also i’ve seen other writers do this without being harrassed so please just respect me and my choices. DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT. I removed the option to request anonymously because of this. But my requests are open!

SUMMARY: Thomas and Tiny talk about Gally and rejection.

"What do you see in him?" Thomas askes sitting down beside Tiny, motioning towards Gally.

The only girl in the glade and his best-friend. She’d only joined a couple months before he did and yet for some reason she drooled all over Gally. The builders chief. Going out of her way to please the guy. Though from everything that Thomas has witnessed, he wasnt giving her the time of day. Its pathetic. Though he wasn’t in any position to be judgemental.

"Excuse me?" Tiny hums in acknowledgment her. Her attention unwavering.

"Gally, hey-" Thomas calls turning her head in his direction before continuing. "He treats you like shit and you kiss the ground he walks on. Does it not bother you? Why not move on?"

"Of course it bothers me Tommy. I have feelings just like everyone else but i dont know. I could give you a million and one excuses and it still wouldnt explain how he makes me feel. You know? Yeah rejection hurts like a motherfucker but all it takes is a smile, a kiss to my cheek or forehead, his skin on mine in general and its like the pain was never there." Tiny rambles on grinning, eyes as bright as stars as she shakes his shoulders in excitement.

Thomas nods in understanding. He understood. He didnt know when he’d fallen in love with the girl who was in love with the guy who hated his guts. It was pathetic… but he couldnt find it in him to be mad at it.

"And i mean come on. Moving on? If it were that easy. Heartbreak wouldnt hurt as bad as it does. It doesnt help that he treats me like an absolute princess. He’s such a sweetheart. You know im very peculiar with how i eat my food? It has to be a certain way or i’ll starve. It’s not like we have many options in the glade but i just cannot force myself to swallow the food if it isnt a certain way and i’d die before offending frypan. So i’d end up starving until Gally realized and started to go out of his way to plate my food for me?" Tiny sighs leaning her head against Thomas shoulder, her gaze trailing back to Gally who was rough housing with the guys.

"He built me a shack, so i’d have my privacy and be alone. God his hugs are the best. He’s always so gentle with me. I mean just look at him-"

"Alright! Alright. I get it. You’re in love with him." Thomas huffs playfully shrugging the girl off. Trying to ignore ache in his chest.

"Yup! And he’s in love with me. He just doesnt know it yet!" Tiny grins, pressing a kiss to the boys cheek after having heard Gally call out to her. "Welp my husband calls! Later Tommy!"

Tommy hums, watching Gally hand the girl a plate of assorted food, that doesnt touch with a kiss to her forehead. The two walk from Thomas’s sight.

Thomas understood the girls words. More than he liked.

1:32, a JEFF BUCKLEY one-shot

synopsis; in which you share an awfully fluffy moment with your (future) lover, Jeff in the golden hours of the afternoon, realising soon it’ll turn into much more

tws/warnings; none! <3

genre/type; fluff <3

a/n: lmk if you guys want more JB stuff! theres genuinely no fanfics about him anywhere </3

THE CLOCK adjacent to the white framed bed frame conveniently resting alongside the left wall reads 1:32, indicating its the peak form of the afternoon, your absolute favourite time of day. Not for any particular reason, of course. It simply remained your favourite due to the calming nature of the hour, often times indicating a needed restful moment of peace almost.

“You okay? Youre lookin’ a lil’ bit dazed” the soft spoken, raven tressed boy speaks beside you, a hint of concern laced within his tone.

“Mhm, was thinking ‘bout how i love this time of day, is all” you truthfully formulate, your words mirroring his same prior tone of tranquility and softness.

“Yeah?” he purrs, changing his position beside you to lay on his side, hand conveniently propped below his ear, seemingly to create a form of balance.

You nod in response, taking note of the small ray of sunlight suddenly illuminating the room, creating an almost golden tint within it.

“The sunlight makes you look real pretty, y’know that?” he adulates, his chocolate tinted eyes peering towards you with pure & unadulterated awe, his lips also simultaneously facing a light smile overtop.

“You’re not allowed to say things like that, J” you playfully remark, though a slither of truth lays well beneath the surface of your statement, a true showcase of your underlying feelings slightly breaking through.

I mean, you were right in some aspect, right? The more compliments and more fixated stares he would throw your way, the stronger & stronger you felt towards him, which simply wasnt allowed to even be considered as an option in your mind. You were fully aware of your feelings towards him, though the thought scared you to say the least. He was Jeff Buckley, big ol’ famous rockstar whom everybody seemed to fawn over, everybody simply wanted him, everybody. It truly felt like a crime, or some form of imprisonment at that.

“What? Why not? Can’t i compliment a pretty girl ‘round here?” he playfully jests, his peach tinted lips curving upwards, forming a rather boyish smirk.

“Stop” you mutter, covering your face within the process as an act of pure nervousness, a bundle of butterflies soon follow up by swarming the insides of your stomach.

He simply responds in an non-verbal format by guiding himself closer towards you, the close proximity between you two edging closer and closer within each passing centimetre.

“What are you doin’?” you query, attempting to appear in a conspicuous manner, though tones of nervous curiosity spill outwards instead.

Though yet again, to your surmise, he doesnt seem to vocalise his thoughts, only a small smirk lays delicately upon the corners of his lips, seemingly showcasing some form of forecast into his mind.

“J, youre makin’ me nervous’’ you retale, though feeling as though nervous was truly the pure definition of an understatement in this situation. You were practically shitting yourself to say the least.

“I know sweetheart, thats the point” he faintly remarks furthermore, his gaze aimlessly lingering on your lips for far too long.

“What would you do, right now?” he speaks, pausing mid-sentence in appearance to concisely formulate the correct and most coherent words. “If i just, kissed you, right here?” he questions, lazily tracing his thumb alongside your bottom lip. “Or here?” he additionally speaks, tracing alongside the hem of your jawline, once again in a rather lazily soft manner.

“You can” you unintentionally whisper, giving him permission to do so without realising your response conflicted with his question, due to your focus on the lingering sensation below your jawline.

“I can what, sweetheart? I need you to tell me what i can do” he responds, knowing damn well what exactly you want him to follow through with.

“You can kiss me, wherever you want too” you breathe, feelings of desperation soon becoming apparent.

You simply needed to feel his lips relish upon your skin, you truly needed to feel the bliss enduring sensations caused by his touch, you frankly needed to understand the taste of his lips as they danced with your own, it was well past a want at this point, it was faithfully a need.

He soon closes the unwanted gap between you both, strictly pulling you out of your maladaptive daydream by conjoining his lips within your own. The everlasting concoction of mint and cigarettes creating a buzzing effect as it elopes throughout both your lips and overall senses. His lips remain smooth, buttery almost, dancing alongside your own in a velvety consistency, furthermore inducing a large swarm of butterflies to overcome your stomach in a dizzying fashion. God, it simply felt so good. As if heaven truly was a place on earth.

“Holy shit” he resumes, detaching himself from your lips in a breathless manner. “You, are something else” he additionally speaks, still remaining in close proximity to yourself, seemingly not wanting to further the gap between you both anytime soon.

His gaze glues towards your own, noticing your both confused and worried appearance, not knowing whether or not his previous statement was a compliment or simply a negative observation. “Oh god, i mean that in a good way, not a ‘you’re fuckin’ crazy’ kinda way” he clarifies, taking note of your state of apprehension.

“Oh, okay” you shyly remark, cheeks tinted in a pale strawberry tone due to your prior activity.

Your mind remained simply too frazzled to even contemplate formulating a more articulate sentence, though the boy in-front of you seemingly remained frazzled as-well, unsure of both your current perceptions and emotions as to what just happened between you both, and if that moment will ever be shared again with the times that come.

“Look at you, all blushy n’ dazed” he awe-fully fawns, his left hand softly clashing alongside your right cheek, his thumb creating circular patterns in a soothing manner as he traces the boldy tinted surface.

“All cause of you, J” you relinquish, placing your own hand on-top of his own.

His lips fold upwards into a slight curve, a delicate smile caressing his lips. “My sweet girl” he whispers, his thumb still drawing lazy shapes along the frames of your cheekbone.

“Mhm, all yours from this moment on” you respond, leaning forward to gracefully gaze your lips upon his own. Creating another moment awfully reminiscent of a cliche romantic novel of the sorts, though you truly wouldn’t have it any other way.

What if? Vander x rival bar owner M!Reader.

Cw: old men, smut, Blowjob (Reader recieving) Vander is just an old man who wants to get fucked, rivalry between old men, Alt AU version of Vander.

-

You and Vander who have been rivals since ye both opened your bars. The Last Drop being ultimately more popular than your for the obvious reasons. I mean who wouldnt want a man like Vander to serve them a drive. Many of his patreons going just to gawk at him. His popularity surpassing your own regardless of what you did.

It wasnt as if you were unfavourable but the hound of the undercity was optionally the better choice when it came to drinks. He had the charm and the friendliness that bartenders require whereas you were gruff. Rarely smiled and lacked the proper social ediqute that made you likeable to patreons. But god if it didnt make Vander stiffen in his pants watching as you huffed while bringing in barrels filled with drink. Hell he wanted to swap out being a bartender jusy to go to your bar to watch you work.

Underneath the whole rivalry sat a stable relationshio that no one in zaun wouldve suspected. (Silco was the one that pushed it to happen because he's a good brother to Vander and does want him happy) both of you getting on like a house on fire outside your working environment. The office in your bar being the usual meet up spot. Mostly because of the couch you had installed in it. (It was already broken from you two having sex on it one too many times.) Both of you are in your 40s and still that doesnt stop the shit you get up to.

Maybe thats what landed you two in this situation. With Vander on his knees, mouth wrapped around your thicker than average cock, sucking your soul from it. The man being obviously skilled in this practice. And you with your hands pulling his hair to keep the full length of yourself buried into the back of his throat, head lolled back against the wall lip being bit down on harsh enough to draw blood to supress the groans and grunts that wished to leave you. Anyone could see the both of you if they came out the back of your bar. And what a delicious sight it would be.

It wasnt the first time this had happened, no it was a constant situation you and Vander found yourself in, being unable to keep your hands off each other for more than 5 minutes when you were alone together.

Vander left you to do all the work, only hollowing his cheeks to bring the added pleasure when he sucked you off. His hands focused on steoking himself to an orgasm at the same time as your thrusts into his mouth. Not bothering to even attempt to keep his muffled sounds down. Each choke and gag that came from you hitting the back of his throat. Furiously picking up the pace when fisting his cock when you sped up. Using his tongue to poke at your tip to furthen tease you.

You who cant help but be rough. Its all you know to be, thrusting as quick as you could into his mouth and begging silently to the gods to let you cum quickly because your back was beginning to ache from standing for so long. (Chronic back pains that came from the various angles Vander had suggested when you two were fucking on the sofa.) The pressure building up in your stomach as a sign you were about to cum even though you had barely lasted 2 minute. But that didnt matter seeing as Vander was going cross eyed from how well you were fucking his mouth.

Both of you cumming at the same time. Your cum being eagarly swallowed by him while his cum was shot into his fist as he continued jerking off while you spurted cum into his mouth. Onky stopping when he became sensitive. Small huffs coming from you as you slowly pulled back and out of his mouth carefully pulling back up your trousers and doing the buckle on your jeans. A small glare on your face when you look at him (out of love of course. He always looked good when rode out his orgasm.) Helping him get back up because his knees had gone numb from kneeling.

Both of you kissing after it, deciding that you still had time to head up to your office and get a quickie inbefore he headed back over to the Last Drop to sleep.

-

That felt good to write. Been holding that in since I busted after seeing Vander in the Alt AU. Fucking foamed at the mouth imagining him on top of me. Hes just so fuckable as an old man.

Cannot tell me he doesnt want his hair pulled constantly while hes getting fucked

Transfem Logan who's always been supportive of trans people- obviously, considering the similarities between queer struggles and mutant struggles.

But it's one of those things that applies to other people; she's been around for two centuries and presented as a man the whole time. It wasnt an option when she was younger, and it just doesnt cross her mind that she could be a woman, yknow? Sure, she thinks all the time about how nice being a woman must be, but that's not something she could be. That's something that applies to other people. Clearly, she just thinks women are hot. That's a normal thing for a man to think.

Maybe she's in women's spaces a lot more than most men; after WW2, there were always butch women in manual labor where she worked, and she didnt know why she clicked so well with them.

She maybe thinks she should feel a bit weird hanging out with them so much when they invite her to parties, to gatherings full of nothing but queer women (though of course that wasnt the label they used at first), but it felt so, so right. And for decades, when she would say she was just a friend, a supporter, an ally, the women who would tell stories about when they were little boys would pat her cheek and smile say "okay", looking for all the world like they could read his mind as well as a telepath could.

Charles and Jean knew, of course. She didn't know, but they did. Charles would occasionally hint, so so gently, that the school was welcoming of everyone mutant. When she would push away the daydreams of what life couldve been if she was a woman, they both look sad.

And then Wade finds her in a bar, and drags her into her destiny, and, during the battle with Sabertooth, Wade says her, just as that silly joke, and suddenly it feels like the world just clicked into slots it hasn't been in in so so so long, and when he "corrects" himself it hurts.

When she sees Laura for the first time, she feels sick. Not because she doesnt immediately love Laura, of course; but... she looks so similar to her. She looks like who Logan has always so desperately wanted to.

It takes until she's in a relationship with Wade to fully realize it. He calls her "babygirl", constantly, and she melts every single time. He'll make every possible joke about feminizing her, and it's endearing and so so so hot and she wants it on such a deep level it hurts.

She tells him when they're cuddled up after sex one time, tells him she has something to say and almost chickens out, but then he asks "what's up, babygirl?" and she just starts sobbing and crying and telling him everything she's felt for two hundred years now.

Her style doesnt change much, once she starts to transition. Occasionally she'll wear a dress, but she finds that she loves being a masculine woman. She loves when she opens a jar for Wade when his joints hurt and he swoons overdramatically into her arms. She loves being the one who does the heavy lifting (which Wade only occasionally protests to, before situating himself with popcorn to watch her muscles flex), and she loves putting together the shitty Ikea furniture Laura insists on buying for herself when she gets her first apartment. She doesn't like makeup, and she only very occasionally wears dresses.

But she also loves being Wade's babygirl, and being Laura's mom.

Estrogen works so much better than she expected it to; rather than rejecting it or ignoring it, her system seems to assume it had made a mistake somewhere, and, when she starts to gain a bit of weight because she's finally so, so happy, it goes to her hips and her breasts, too. (Wade, of course, is the first to notice, and celebrates by spending multiple hours suffocating himself in her boobs.)

Sometimes, she wonders what life wouldve been like if she'd just realized sooner. Maybe she would've never been drunk off her ass and too deep in a bottle to help her family when the humans came to kill them. Maybe the government never would've even grafted the adamantium to her skeleton.

Maybe she never would've been the Wolverine.

But she knows she never wouldve met her new family. She would never have the most infuriating boyfriend who she loves more than anything in the world, or a daughter.

lgief rewatch ep. 4

woooooo ep 4! but only part of it because i already did the festival aspect. i might revisit it and the ep 5 ones at some point but we'll see.

if youd like to discuss lgief, feel free to send me asks, chats, or reply to any of these posts.

ep 1 / ep 2 / ep 3 / ep 4 pre-festival / ep 4 festival / ep 5, 5 part 2 / ep 6 / ep 7 / ep 8 / ep 9 / ep 10

yao taking responsibility for burning the map to protect everyone, but certainly, mostly, ziqi, was incredibly kind. she did not have to do that, but i think for her own peace of mind, she couldnt let it go on any longer. she feels like what ziqi does falls on her, so if she let him act out, itd be her fault, in her mind.

ziqi of course saying "thats not possible" hmmmmmmmm yeah it isnt. it sure isnt. guess it didnt work out the way you wanted, right? definitely one of his lowest moments in the show, but theres only going up from here.

shooing everyone off to probably have time to think, only for ziqi to be in her room later. im sure he wanted to give her something to eat or drink, and im sure she couldnt say no, and im sure she probably just wanted to not focus on it anymore and move on.

but ziqi bringing it up like that, even after clearly thinking about whether or not he wants to… dude. give it a rest. you cannot implicate them.

"dont you know why im not pursing it?" while glancing at him in the mirror… and you can tell he doesnt like her tone, doesnt like that something is being insinuated here. like, why would i know? why do you think i would know? well…

fuuuuuck. when i first saw this i knew shit was gonna go down. she didnt even hesitate, outright accusation. and on first watch i didnt really take in his hesitation. but he looks away, and i think hes deciding, "do i defend myself or not? do i act like i did it or not?" before ultimately trying to not make himself be seen in a bad light by yao.

and he shoots himself in the foot with it, too.

because now yao is outlining the possibilities between the only three options, and his dumb ass did not consider that fuyi wasnt around, and didnt know she had it (supposedly, though we know that isnt true, but in yaos view thats how shes deducing it), and miaomiao is an outsider, so what would she know? yes, we know it was miaomiao, but this is all about how yao came to this conclusion, which ziqi did not put himself in her shoes to understand before creating this circus show.

i appreciate ziqi being forward in owning up to not wanting her to search for the resentful woman because he doesnt want her to get hurt. yao? not so much, probably because she already knows this so it isnt news, but also since its HER JOB. its her final goal, basically. you fucked her over by doing this, and thats why shes pissed.

"none of this is important and you dont care" and he says uh, yeah, i literally give no fucks about ANYONE in this world but you, which is nuts because why the fuck are you a demon catcher? actually, thats probably why youre a low rank demon catcher, because fuyi and yao do all the fucking work because you. dont. care. you step in to help only her when necessary, and other people who benefit from it are just in the right place at the right time. thinking about this makes me so mad. i get, youre tied to her, thats your sister, this is your upbringing which you dont even know how you ended up there. but be serious? you learned how to be a demon catcher, a selfless, righteous job, but just to be your sisters knight in shining armor when needed. you shouldnt even have this title if thats how you feel. UGH. asshole. and while im not happy with what yao says, i understand why shes livid that his response is "your enemies are my enemies" after saying OTHER LIVING BEINGS have nothing to do with him. THIS. IS. YOUR. JOB.

also! YOU MAKE MORE ENEMIES THAN SHE HAS.
