#itsa mess too

[hiemaldesirae]

Itsa me, Arrax! More Lucifer/Vox bestie AU

"NOOO!" Cried Angel as he landed on boardwalk, before he looked at Husk eyes wide. "Husky, can I borrow 500? Please?"

Vox chuckled, drinking deeply from his solo cup filled with Heaven's best wine. (Lucifer had switched both of theirs out to something stronger then the punch Charlie was serving, thank satan.) "I can take payment in your Voxtech holiday bonus that going out next week, instead Angel." He murmured, grinning happily.

"No! I lost last year's bonus to the company's charades game, I'm not losing it again. Please Husky..."

"Angel, we're in the same position, as we're partners. We have no money. Just go for bankruptcy, it's just a game." Husk replied, drinking from his bottle of vodka once he made sure Charlie wasn't looking.

"Husk's right, Angel. It is just a game, and Vox won't take you bonus, right dad?" Charlie asked, shooting her father a look.

"Oh? Yeah, he won't. I mean as long as Angel didn't put it up or anything. A deal's a deal, Char-bear. You can't break those, no matter what." Lucifer said, grinning drunkenly as he took another sip from his solo cup. "It'd destroy the foundations of Hell."

Angel gave a whimper, and nodded. "Okay. I declare bankruptcy. I'm done. I guess it's just Smiles, Niffty, Vox, Lucifer, Charlie, and Vaggie, left. Good luck."

Vox: "Luc and I don't need Luc, we have skill." He murmured, grinning happily at Alastor, eyes warm.

"Skill, my dear Picture box? I think it's just luck that's gotten you this far. But we'll see."

_______

"Charlie, it's nearly six am, Alastor and Vox are still playing and I think Vox is drunk....and your dad is passed out." Vaggie muttered, as she gently placed Niffty on a couch, laying a blanket on her. "I think you should end game night. It's tomorrow."

"Yeah....Vox looks close to crashing." Charlie murmurs, hurrying over and clapping her hands. "Okay guys! It's bedtime. I'll get my dad to his room, but umm..Alastor can you get Vox too a guest room or somewhere comfortable? Dad said that he has a tail he keeps curled up soo.."

Alastor grinned, ears twitching as he stood up, lifting a semi-conscious Vox up bridal style. "Of course my dear! I'll take care of the dear picture box." *he murmured, disappearing into Shadows with Vox.*

HI ARRAX THANKS FOR THE FOOD AGAIN !!!!!! YEAHHHH LUCIFER/VOX BESTIE AU IS THE SHIT LETS GOOOO

oh this is soooo precious.... oh my god theyre playing board games together!!!! the babies... do you think they would play stuff like twister too lmao and niffty would do the spinning so in the end it ends up with a mess of tangled limbs and alastor trapping vox to the floor in a very... compromising position that has people (coughs. Angel and Cherri) screaming at them to fuck already

wheres he taking vox btw. is he kidnapping the tv..... tvnapping. he's tvnapping him

Character Information*

Rita Jacobs / She,Her / 28 years old / Lounge Singer at ‘Snake Eyes’ Casino & Bartender at ‘Mount Olympus’

Rita is your resident ‘here for a good time, not a long time’ gal and you’ll be lucky to really know anything about her. She’s super charming, very friendly and is totally friends with everyone! Um, just not close friends. You know how it is...

Grew up in New York city, living there for the majority of her life before bouncing around. She had roots there- real, deep, connections- and then she left. And decided to never do that again, thank you very much!

Ended up in Redwood Hollow after drifting for what felt like forever. There was something almost comforting about just how homey, ‘know your neighbour’, it is here. It feels like she could really be a part of something- if she wanted to.

Loves to dance and kiss pretty people before never calling them back! She was really just trying to chill out and look hot, to be perfectly honest. Never dwell too long on things that might hurt her feelings- the usual stuff.

When Halloween happened and she got a batch of the Bad PepsiTM, it gave her a big ole dose of existential crisis. She knew everybody, she had so many friends (right?) and she had people that cared about her (right?). She let people care about her and know her, right? Wrong.

So yeah, we’re just kinda going Through It in this Chili’s tonight.

Wanted Connections*

Exes / ex hook ups - Rita is (of course, itsa me!) bi-bi-bi! And just #badatlove so would love to have some ex-almost relationships. They could have had it all! Or maybe they brought out the worst in each other? Or maybe they used to hook up but things got complicated or they might actually be good friends (think Mark Sloan x Callie Torres).

*Ex #1 - @rangerbuzzlightyear *Ex #2 - @chelsea-katz

#Ghosted - they talked and it was epic but then the sun came up... Basically, these two really did vibe and it toed the line of being something #real so, naturally, Rita had to disappear faster than you could say ‘hey, here’s my number’.

Past Connections - so, they knew each other before Redwood! Either in New York or wherever Rita was drifting around. Bonus points if she conned you out of your wallet or at least a few martinis- I’m imagining fake names and a very convincing backstory about being with the band, or something.

Flaky FriendsTM - either they’re both a mess and could try harder or Rita is always bailing on your character. After the #poising incident, Rita is now trying to make amends and reconnect with them.

Wanted Plots / Plot Ideas*

'Take a drunk girl home, let her sleep all alone.mp3′ - (not actually gender specific) but Rita helped your character home one night from the lounge or bar, or maybe they were both just out and about. She held their hair back when they threw up, listened to their drunken rambles and made sure they didn’t fall asleep in their shoes. 

‘Take it outside, pal!’ - Rita caught you on a bad night but you were causing just even trouble she had to toss you out of the bar! Maybe now things are awkward or there’s a grudge! Maybe the memory of that night hasn’t quite come back to them until... 

‘You only call me when it’s half past five’ - so this can either be for your character at Rita or vice versa! But they never really hang out under normal circumstances. They only ever call them when they need a ride home or are feeling lonely, or are being a mess. They tell them secrets and pretend they never kissed. Still, either one of them still keeps picking up the phone.

Taken Connections*

Nani Pelekai - bestie but in the way she knows that Nani already has #1 besties. @themanagerisavampirex

Mary Gibbs - #1 girlies! If she has time for anyone, it’s Mary @itsmarygibbs (@magicaladamlegrand for Adam’s knowledge!)

Alice Little - Rita was getting closer to Alice after their re-appearance, checking up on them and bonding. Until it all went wrong on Halloween... Rita didn’t mean to keep secrets from Alice, she just wanted to know that they were okay. Now it’s all messed up. @xalicethewonderx

Arista Neptune - Rita definitely wanted to start a flirtationship with Arista which has now spiraled into the potential for something more...more- which is very scary. Finds herself thinking about her and her sunshine disposition way too much. @aristaneptune

Morgan - Morgan is just a ray of sunshine, Rita loves to catch up with them whenever they can for a good time and gossip. @mxmorganmorph

Oz Borror & Hayden Bodaway - her respective employers at her two jobs. @ozborror-highroller , @haydenbodaway

Patrick Patterson - did you know Rita had a roommate? Well, souprise! @patrickpattersxn (also @paxtonpatterson and @itspersephxne I feel like this can give us some shenanigans too!!)

Iridessa Sol - thinks she’s an absolute babe!!! @iridessa-sol

Other*

One character from the open tag you would like to see taken / added to the Most Wanted page: Shinda Proud!!

One Character you want to see a bio for in relation to this specific character: I would love- love- to have a Dodger!! There would be angst. There would be feeling! There would be history!!

[ikari-cat]

In the new anime? Sakura and her friend talk about how she hasn’t even seen Sasuke in forever and her friend wonders why Sakura hasn’t left him because Sakura says he doesn’t care about her.

Ah yes, episode 17 of Boredo (which kicks off the gaiden arc) 

At least this is what you’re referring to, I remember seeing that post around and honestly just say you don’t like the characters/series ya know?

I will just start and say that it’s up for you to make your own view on something by actually digging into it, by this ask only it seems you haven’t tackled on the series and just speculated what has been spreaded around (thanks sp) but then again if you’re just curious what is up then by all means continue reading this lol

But if you don’t care for a full view, then I guess the shortest I can put it is this: Sasuke will be deemed a ‘deadbeat father/husband’ due to the fact he’s on a mission, Sakura will be deemed many things but in the case of what you’re asking it’d be a ‘doormat wife who is a single mom at this point’ yet is just being a supportive partner and continues being a doctor while raising their daughter - by themselves alone they are just hated lol

Your ask just reeks the fandom the general, and again I blame the one sided ‘b/w’ thinking people have - which isn’t good for a series like this 

I’m going to have to do a read more since it’s a lot to begin with, just 2 episodes and it counters what the manga had (and this scene you’re referring to is all their doing at this point - I literally read the manga first before getting into a anime because of this studio) 

So let the headache begin :) 

So episode 17 of Boredo has Sakura leaving on a trip and Ino is to accompany her (or at least see her off) thus this scene happens:

Now in the case of both the anime and manga this is something that is kept right: Sasuke has maintain keeping no contact to his family. Now keep in mind these are my views and consider why with Gaiden I don’t have issues with it like what other ss supporters do: then again I got back into the series near the end too. 

Sasuke is sacrificing his life to keep everyone protected, and really this is a lot already for a guy who was deemed a criminal for the series. As the name ‘the Shadow Hokage’ has been placed on him, he’s basically out there in search to stop this ‘threat’ he knows is dangerous. He keeps the hokage informed of anything needed to say - but why can’t he tell his family something. 

In my view, he knows his family is safe, he is out there doing what is needed to keep them safe, so when his daughter (who they haven’t seen each other in years) confronts him about this whole fiasco:

‘What is going on at home’ ah yes Sasuke, your daughter wasn’t going to wonder what’s happening with her dad away (but again, from his view he sees his family being okay) I added this much earlier already but it’s enough to get you thinking. 

(Also as someone who loves kishi’s style they honest to god can’t animate his style, they don’t even know how to draw breasts at this point unless they really want to get their ‘flatchested’ mom agenda still) 

(Ah yes if only Sakura knew what was going on, it’s not like he just left on this mission with no discussions with his partner :)))) 

(Ah yes, if only she knew, like in the manga, what is at stake :))

And then Ino is like ‘oh okay hey remember how you guys had a date here!’ which cause to Sakura just ‘??? I guess? It was like 2 min girl’ and she just left her there on the bench to remember the date lmao (more gloating on the poor wife!?1 how can we make this more sad?11! :))))))) 

Ah yes, Sasuke sure is one to forget things, sure he is - that boy Sasuke :) 

This shouldn’t be included to what you’re asking but it’s clear to me at this point that the writers just don’t get them, it’s like they looked at part 1 of the series (not even part 1 like the first couple chapters for sakura and then sasuke going revenge like is who he is lmao) and just ‘yeah that’s them the whole rest of the series’

So we have: 

1) Sakura being left in the loop of things and just doing what she wants to believe (*insert bandwagon insult*)

2) Sasuke is a cold hearted asshole as usual (cause that was who he was the whole series am I right) 

3) They decided to add this date for????????? Oh right they’re a couple, totally gotta add something that’s them :0 

But see how this, one scene, is enough to invoke people to claim these things? There’s so much more, but this just hits home since gaiden kicks off after; and boy does it counter it badly. 

Boredo is very clear not Kishi’s work, if you already having to rework a timeline to fit into your anime timeline then really who am I gonna believe? 

The ‘no contact’ thing was a issue with both works yes, but the manga made it clear on why Sasuke is on this mission and who knows about it; yet here we are.  

So let’s go off: Why is Sasuke away exactly? Why isn’t he contacting his family? Why does it matter, why are we having fans showing the manga to the studio writers and telling them what happen - and why are the writers being entitled to say that that’s kishimoto’s point of view of his own damn series.  

Here we have Sasuke presenting to the kages (along with Sakura) a possible threat that could be even more dangerous than Kaguya - and that is scary. 

So judging by this possibility, it’s clear Sasuke is the only one who can do it, and seeing how he’s made amends with everyone at this point it’s clear he’s now in a stable lifestyle in Kohona. But the possiblity of a threat to go against this - your family, your home, ‘a bright future’ - you are not going to push this threat away. Especially if you’re the only one to do be able to do this. 

Now here’s the thing: this is, at the time, a mere hypothesis; it was up to him to reject it or not. As he suggested, keeping the mission in secret, was the best choice. The mere thought of it would cause the public to be anxious, and the ‘peace’ they have now built will be broken - the public will want answers and with a hypothesis like this there was no way it was going to be given. 

Add the fact, what if this wasn’t as serious as he thought, which leads to believe there was no estimated time to say how long he’d be gone. Leaving it a private case would cause no havoc in the end since it wasn’t as serious as he assumed: but of course it was and in the end it’s estimated he left when Sarada was at least 4 years old (the whole one night stand/doesn’t love her bullshit is just like That is not Sasuke nor Sakura - and a whole new post in general) 

Now Sakura being present pretty much settles everything, she knows why he’s out there, she knows what’s at stake, and as her reaction shows, she’s shocked to imagine a threat like this is possibly out there; she was there after all. 

To come home to see their young daughter, the ‘bright’ future of the Uchiha Clan, that is at stake. Considering how Sasuke is the head now, there will come a day were he will have to tell Sarada the whole history of the Clan; his past is already too much to begin with. But let’s see what the anime did with this meeting :) The reason Naruto feels at fault after all for this case as well. 

‘We will have another episode containing the kages and Sak-’ But for what reason? They have this meeting to discuss all together what Sasuke believes is out there - you can’t counter the series for the anime timeline like jesus

So you mean to tell me Sasuke still feels after around a decade that he stills need to travel to see ‘a new light’? The kages being not there just wants to shove this idea down more because yes I get that he won’t be accepted by everyone - but like they already agree with him on taking this mission already so really - Sasuke still needs to go off and find himself? Really. R E A L L Y

Sure wish we saw them :) 

Obviously not screenshoted but yes they decided to add Naruto telling him to stop by his house before going but he refuses; which bascially proves they left out Sakura so she’d have no clue why he left for this mission and thus have her ‘believe’ what is going on - god they really need to see why fans would be furious. 

And it j u s t s 

Secrets indeed.

.

Like yes it’s wrong to assume on my part that the couple dicussed what could be said or not to their daugther - but it’s just logical to assume. And as I mentioned way before, Sasuke will be the one to tell Sarada the clan’s history; his past is a lot to handle already. Let’s add m o re: 

They know what they thought was best at the time was not going to work 100% through, but they like - all parents  - aren’t perfect. 

And really just the pair themselves face enough already, but it’s mainly due to the fact people have such a ‘b/w’ ideology to a ninja series and like this studio - can’t even realize that these two did grow up and change as characters do. 

I’ma have to stop now since you get what I’m going at as well as it’s starting glitch up now but final thoughts: 

I can easily say Kishimoto shouldn’t had made Sasuke be on this mission, I could be like the studio and claim what’s right etc. At the end of the day however I’m just bitter at the fact people look at these two and claim things about them that the manga goes against it; the studio has made it clear they have no interest in these two and will somehow find a way to ‘drag’ them for who they really are. 

But again, it’s your view, if you find me liking these two is a wtf complex in general you can just unfollow me; it’s clear these two are my faves in the series. By all means I hope I didn’t mean to offend you in any way, it’s just you can tell I’m just tired of this fandom my dude. 

I honestly don’t think I fully explained things for you, but i could of easily said ‘nah it ain’t true’ and ended it there too so here we are lol

In a nutshell: don’t believe everything ya hear without checking it out ya self, ya gotta form your own views my dude :^) 

[mithryl-ninja]

for those of you keeping score at home! January 2019 vs December 2019

[min-yoongle]

the other day in bio the professor was explaining how like once you lose brain cells after you’ve finished developing, they’re gone you can’t really get them back or re-grow them and my favorite thing was just hearing the room go silent and watching the panic slowly seep into everyone’s eyes because you just know most of them are having flashbacks to that one time they sucked in helium

[persephonaae]

So I was just messing around singing Edge of Night from LOTR with Scottish inflections, but then I started to mess around with some audio editing too and what can I say, I’m a slut for ethereal reverb (sorry it sounds all whispery, my sister was in a meeting so I had to be quiet)

MODS IM FOR SURE KEEPING/MAYBE KEEPING

To keep the bulletpoint list hopefully short: Patch/QoL mods that fix vanilla issues (i.e. USSEP, D13, SMIM, the like), follower mods (save for Miraak since S:EC seems to have something planned for him), mods done to tweak the Werewolf experience, combat & boss difficulty mods, Mods that overhaul NPCs dialogue/AI (guards, citizens in general), weather mods, music mods, & mods that make Argonians & Khajiit look a bit more fun are for sure staying! Any civil war mods I have might be trimmed off, debating on how S:EC approaches reworking the secondary story quest. That being said:

BarenziahQM - For the sole fact it makes that quest soo much better

Paarthunax Dilemma - a solid maybe? S:EC is also gonna do something bout this part of the Blades quest if I read their reddit post correctly, so I might just leave it disabled & see what happens first

Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions - yes pls let me make Tei a papa to every Skyrim also I need it to make Kaidan’s home available for the kiddos

Derkeethus - makes him a more decent follower but eeeh idk i rarely take him out often so it might be snipped itsa maybe

Destructible Display Cases- sometimes i’m too lazy to lockpick

No more Stupid Dog/Immersive Good Boy- Meeko is a good boy I should be able to tell him & also my kids + housecarls shouldn’t call him stupid >:(

More Argonians- I just like these funky reptiles (used to have More Khajiits too but it always would CTD at a certain inn w it installed. F)

Alternate Start- Makes things more spicy

CH- Sorta QoL for the skyrim horses, for sure staying

FTA&C- Again, makes things more spicy, but in the event of some group jumping you while traveling

Vigilant- Maybe?? It’s fun as hell but not really in character for Jeer-Tei. Perhaps re-enabled later as an end game thing alongside BS: Atmora whenever that comes out?

Shout- makes cooldowns more bearable so itsa keep

DSF- also a QoL mod

Immersive Movement + More Tavern Idles + Better Jumping + Immersive Encounters

AFT- big traveling groups are always fun/it makes it easier to horde keep all of Skyrim’s dogs

Race Menu + Racial BM SE- falls under “makes Argonians more fun” like some other argonian focused mods I guess? RBM plays around w everyones height and RM just lets you go buck wild (in a sfw way! unless...yknow you got nsf/w mods i guess) doesn’t hurt to specify tho lol

Alternate Convo Camera- Really fun!! Despite it pointing out how short my LDB is

Deadly Dragons- Makes fighting the Dovah much more fun w all the (honestly not as canon) diversity in looks & abilities! Can recommend, not too harsh on older devices either from what I know

Death is Highly Overrated

Play as a Dragon + Monster Race Fix- another hard maybe because well...you turn into a dragon which isn’t too immersive I guess?? Probably another “end game” mod for Tei

MODS IM EYEING/WANT TO GET (this post is so long so far I’m sorry)

Survival Mods!! (iNeed is one I’m looking at & maaaybe Frostfall?? idk i’ll have to see about that one i heard its not too fun for the Argonian gang) P much looking for something that’ll make exploring the wilds of Skyrim less of a bore

Camping + Hunting based mods! I’ve been eyeing Campfire & Hunterborn specifically, but open to any other suggestions. Same reasoning as survival mods, makes it more fun to travel! Plus, I’m going for an in character experience, it would fit Tei!

Khash & Auri follower mods. I’ve been eyeing these two for a bit, but from my experience w adding Kaidan & Lucien late game, I miss a lot of fun stuff D: So I’m planning on nabbing them for a fresh playthrough under S:EC (or at least, Khash! I uh...don’t know how to download mods manually/always mess it up & Auri doesn’t have the option to let Vortex do all the work unfortunately, but we’ll see!)

Maybe some nice armor mods?? Again nothing too heavy to handle but just to add some flavor(tm)

Saw a mod that made Animal AI a bit more realistic, might nab that

long shot but a mod that lets everyone refer to your LDB via they/them pronouns would be cool too but idk feel like it’d be a nightmare to attempt modder wise. Honestly i’d love the idea of having a mod or two that’ll let me confirm that Tei is trans themselves in game (3DNPC has a quest where you can say your character is, but that’s about it to my knowledge)! Buuut I’m unsure to search for any cause: 1) I don’t want to deal w transphobes ruining my searches & my day on Nexus & 2) Any curious google/bing searches keep bringing up Lovers lab & mmmm no thank you.

and uh...so far that’s the base of it? idk im still looking around & I might have to add/drop some things depending on like...how much my current computer can handle, Not grabbing any fancy graphics mods, that’s for sure lol

Boom Bop Itsa Big Ol Focaccia Recipe :)

(specifically schiacciata ((Ski-a-Cha-ta

(that I promised @gui1ttripping and immediately procrastinated on)

so it only takes a few ingredients:

-1/2 teaspoon of salt + more for sprinkling

-2 cups of warm water (between 100 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit or so)

-4 cups of flour + a little extra for making sure the consistency is right

-1 teaspoon of active dry yeast

-olive oil (you'll be using a lot so just eyeball it. I seriously doubt you'd use too much)

-3 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary (optional)

And keep in mind you can reduce amount just use the same ratio (idk why you'd wanna tho its bread) but

Step 1: mix yeast and flour well in a medium-large bowl. add the warm water slowly, mixing together till it starts to form a ball. once you've added enough water for it to be a wet ball, add 2 tablespoons of oil, and 1/2 a teaspoon of salt. After that add the rest of the water, and knead and add a bit of flour till it holds together (it will still be a bit sticky at this point but that's perfectly ok).

Step 2: Take a medium to large baking pan (preferably with sides on it) and grease with a very generous amount of olive oil (the dough will absorb a lot of it so be really generous), and add the dough to it. don't stretch it out just yet just let it sit in a vaguely loaf shaped position in the middle of the pan. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 45-60 minutes (an hour is optimal). In the meantime preheat the oven to 440 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 3: Once its risen, remove the plastic wrap and kinda of knead the dough out with your hands till its flat, and about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch thick or touches the sides of the pan. After this let it rise for another 30 minutes. After that, put little rows of impressions about 1/2 an inch apart, drizzle with more olive oil, and sprinkle with a generous amount of salt (and rosemary if you want) and bake at 440 for 20 -30 minutes or until a nice golden brown.

And definitely experiment and mess around with the ratio of things, its just a lot of eyeballing. Use lots of olive oil. Hope this helps <3

( itsa me koko owo ) alrighty then hows about numbers 23,24,25 & 26 for Sagalos owo

Oh hai @koroart :3c

You’ve come to me with questions about these dorks and I can only provide! uwu

23 - Who comes up with cheesy pickup lines?

Aiolos is the biggest offender here, a majority of his pick-up lines are cheesy, like 80%. He often combines it with a confident grin and an arm around Saga’s waist, which makes Saga flush and laugh. The other 20% are genuinely smooth and endearing, those times it takes Saga a few moments to compute what he just said, after that he’ll always look away, hiding a blush or a bright smile.

24 - Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times?

This is a coin toss, to be honest. Despite what many people think, Aiolos does have his naughtier moments, and sometimes it means whispering things in Saga’s ear when they’re in meetings or Saga is trying to focus. It’s always done carefully though; he doesn’t want it to be too inappropriate.

Saga on the other hand, is much more subtle about it and adds touches occasionally, which really messes with Aiolos’ composure at times. You can bet once they’re out of the meetings or whatever they were doing before, those two will do more than that whisper.

25 – Who needs more assurance?

Saga, for many reasons, some being pretty obvious, but another part is that Saga in general can be very unsure of his relationships with people (Platonic or otherwise). He does make an effort to try and not focus on those kinds of thoughts, but some days are harder than others. Aiolos knows about this, probably can look back on several moments when they were growing up and Saga’s uncertainty with people was clear (Just not to him at that time). So Aiolos does what he can to try and ease that concern for Saga in whatever way he can, with words, gestures or passionate moments or simpler ones, movie nights where he gets Saga to lie against his chest while he gently brushes his long hair is a great example.

26 - What would be their theme song?

Because I’m a bit cheesy, I’m going to say Fly Me To The Moon is definitely one of their songs. The lyrics especially fit for Saga’s prospective, who is very much in love and allows his mind to wander a bit. Sometimes these thoughts turn out to be rather dorky. As for Aiolos, he is over the moon when Saga confessed, he loved him.

IF THE GODS HAD TUMBLR BLOGS

Aphrodite: You think you’ve seen a feminist blog? Think again. There are ~tasteful~ pictures of nipples left and right, quotes about body image and lots of empowered women. The title is: freethenip_keepthewhip Rupi Kaur would probably deem the blog too much, but somehow she manages to keep it to a sane level. Everyone follows her, even tho they all deny it. 10/10 inspirational as fuck

Hermes: He runs: yaboy-hermesss This blog is a mess. There is no such thing as a theme, or any kind of cohesion, the boy just reblogs what he likes. That’s it, that’s the only rule. It’s a shame he mostly only blogs when he’s high, so it’s a game of “will today be a motivational quotes over colorful sunsets OR Low-resolution pictures of literal houseplants in the dark” kinda day? 7.5/10 – if you’re high too, it’s the best thing you’ve seen all year

Dionysus: AKA: yourdaddywouldnever. The blog is pretty tame, it’s mostly just memes and an occasional photo of the latest shenanigans he’s gotten into. But he likes everything. EVERYTHING. From cat pics on Hephaestus’ blog to random selfies of Indian dudes, it seems like Dio uses the like button every time he takes a breath. 5.5/10 the blog itself is really mediocre

Hephaestus: Pictures. Of. Cats. Just so many cat pics. He recently began adding gifs to the mix. He names every kitten, and his tags are full of things like #fluff #meow #furryfriends. There is an occasional photo of him posing (but pretending to be natural) and some of those memes your aunt would post on facebook, tagged with three crying-laughing faces. The name is: hephaestus1 – “hephaestus was already taken” 9/10 gotta admit the kitties are cute as fuck

Hestia: Poetry blog. She uploads her own stuff and reblogs quotes from others, but the main purpose of tumblr for her is to get into debates about meaningless stuff in the comments. Her blog’s name is: lines­­­_of_revolution 6.5/10 the poems are not bad actually, but for the love of everything, don’t tag her

Ares: His blog is mainly black and white images. He tries to maintain an aesthetic but sometimes it is too much for ADHD boiTM, and he spirals into a pit of sad and miserable quotes only. But when he’s doing good, the pictures are a very decent way of telling what mood he is in, and actually tell a pretty good story of his week. The blog name is: ares-godofwar 8/10 when he’s fine

Artemis: This is The Aesthetic Blog TM. Everything matches with everything. She keeps up themes that change every month, and there is not a post that’s out of order. The blog is so aesthetically pleasing, legends say you can not look at it for more than 15 minutes at a time or your life will fall apart and nothing will ever seem worthy of looking at again. Her blog is: goddessofperfection

Apollo: There is no good way of putting it, Apollo’s blog is a good ol’ pornblog. He strongly argues and puts it as some kind of “artistic choice” or “naturalistic expression” but that’s no way of fooling anyone when there are more naked butts on his page than on Burning Man. His username is: harp­_me_up (he spent 3 weeks coming up with this name) 5/10 for the denial (just admit it bro)

Demeter: She runs: demeter-dontmakeatumblrplease. Now listen. I don’t have any explanation for this. But her blog is the funniest shit ever. In the history of time, it is the most hilarious thing to grace this blob of stone we call Earth. It is just straight up hysterical. It resonates with everyone. The things she reblogs and the things she posts herself. Quality content. This is what I’m here for. And by myself I mean everyone ever. 100000/10 would recommend

Athena: Song lyrics everywhere. She probably thinks the site is a knockoff karaoke bar. Her blog is the equivalent of every single time a song has gotten stuck into your head for two days. Besides that, it’s usually “intellectual” stuff such as quotes from famous thinkers, but just when you think there is more to that than annoying lyrics, a line from I Wanna Know What Love Is pops up and the illusion is ruined. Her blog is: itsa-kindof-magic 5/10 pretty boring (sorry)

Persephone: Pretty convinced that her site (queen­_of_the_dead) is just a cover for some serious satanic shit. It’s straight up scary. Can’t really give a rating, cuz I’ve only looked it up once and it still haunts be, but let’s go with a 10/10 not to piss her off.

Hera: It’s a pretty standard hipster blog with the trademark pics of cozy coffee shops and those backpacks (you know, the ones you see on the back of a dude with a beard longer than your last relationship) in every color imaginable. The blog is: mom­_friend101 It’s cute and sweet and reflects her personality very well. Lot’s of rolled up pants to reveal crazy patterned socks. All around great vibes. 9/10

Hades: Ah yes, the dog rating site. “how many TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT IT’S NOT A DOG RATING…!!” Ssssh, Hades, it’s okay. We all have a soft spot. A for effort for posting some other stuff once every month or so just to keep up the illusion. But it is what it is. His blog is: not-a-dog-rating-site JK, it’s actually: hatethis­_hades 10/10 because it’s the best thing to come out of the grumpy old man (the dude gives every dog a max score)

Poseidon: Doesn’t get the concept of it, regularly confuses tumblr with twitter and posts his opinions nobody asked for. His username is: better-than-zeus, and he begins every single one of his posts with “Now guess what…” a strong 8/10 because he is actually pretty funny but no one will admit it, so don’t bring it up

Zeus:

AKA: zeusofficial Only posts about twice a year and it is always a link to some other site or article you know you’ll never read. -100/10, this is not your granddad’s facebook page, get it together man

Autistic Bumlets HC’s

This is actually one of the first things I wrote but I’ve been nervous to post it. Anyway, I had so much fun writing this and love Bumlets so much

I might write more for this at some point if anyone’s interested with some more thoughts and I hope you enjoy! This is super long and kind of rambly but I had fun with all of this

Bumlets loves his cane

It has a really nice weight and he always needs to be fidgeting with something and he loves the feel it has when tapping it

It doubles as a stimmy and something to help him maneuver because Bumlets has no coordination

And he loves it

He also on an unrelated note had an injury that screwed with his foot when he was a kid

It bothers him more when its cold out and he relies more on the cane on bad pain days

He uses it as a selling point sometime

He and Crutchie joke around sometimes and mess with their crutch and cane together

They know things can be awful sometimes so they share lighter, goofy silly moments

Bumlets is really uncoordinated

He has a really hard time maneuvering around and controlling his movement when he’s walking

There’s this one table in the hall of the Lodging’s

It stayed in the same place but every day for three years the boy could not get by without knocking into it at some point

His proprioception is completely screwed

He loves dancing tho and he’s SO GOOD at it

He feels self-conscious sometimes bc like, he can do backflips and amazing dance moves but he can’t tell left from right all the time or the distance between objects and proceeds to knock into everything on his way anywhere

Absolutely LOVES dancing

He loves it

Plus dance is a more acceptable way to move your body than flapping your hands/rocking or whatever

At least with the newsies (who don’t really seem to care either way)

Bumlets loves being in motion

He had to work really hard as a kid to figure out how to coordinate his dancing movements. He spent hours trying to practice each step because he was so clumsy due to his brain function that even though he really freaking loved dancing it was really hard for him

He actually used the cane first when he was little to try and help push himself around when he struggled with dance moves he really wanted to do

He’s very proud of his dancing now

And he loves that he gets to show it with the boys he loves as family

He gets praised sometimes for being super expressive because he’s almost always smiling or showing something on his face. It can be really good for selling sometimes to have someone so that seems so open and friendly

Honestly tho Bumlets never knows what is happening on his face so if people ask he has no clue how to help

He has a hard time registering what his face is doing at all 

He can tell sometimes he’s smiling really widely when his face starts hurting but he feels pretty disconnected from his face most of the time and he’s really confused by how others can tell what is happening on people’s faces and what that is supposed to signify so easily

Like… how

Bumlets really doesn’t get idioms at all

He has a mental list of some of the phrases the other newsboys use

Even though sometimes he’ll slip up and get really excited and start grinning because he has a relevant point in response to that statement- but oh that’s a phrase/idiom or non-literal joke they didn’t actually mean that he should stay quiet

Plus English isn’t his first language

So things get really messy there too

There are so many little idiosyncrasies and quirks in different languages and they’re really hard to keep track of sometimes even if you don’t have autistic characteristics

His hair always stays down and he really likes the feel of it

He can’t stand the thought of getting a haircut

Plus having it long/hang down feels nice on the sensory end

He doesn’t like people touching his hair

Bad. Touch.

Bumlets doesn't like short pants bc if your going to wear pants they have to go all the way down

He doesn't like leaving just a section of skin exposed

It's gross!!

Baggy. Clothes.

He loves them

He very rarely slips up when he's dancing. Bumlets has rehearsed the motions for so many countless hours they feel natural at this point so he's generally in a pretty bad way when that does happen

When he gets excited he tends to start tapping his cane faster and his eyes light up

He can chatter away for hours about things he's interested in without pause or losing enthusiasm

Bumlets can be pretty oblivious

He has a hard time telling when people are upset or emotional

Hyperempathetic as frick

Internally panics and screams the whole time anyone is upset bc he isn't sure what he's supposed to do but he Loves Them

Hypersensitive to touches but loves hugs

He is a very physical person bc he loves showing affection but some days touch is just Bad

Can't do surprise touches very well

Espec from certain people

He has a hard time supporting his weight (he just sways faintly a lot but has no idea, can't tell if he's in motion) so he uses his cane for support

It helps him a lot

And he likes something to try to use to catch him if he stumbles a little

Plus itsa stimmy

He tends to shut down if noises and lights become way too much

Like this: 

Duck behind a statue for a moment to breathe

also

tap tap tap and finger thing I can’t get my body to cooperate to do

He has a few places he goes when he's overwhelmed

Very rarely completely shuts down but it's always incredibly exhausting

The first time he did it around the newsies he just collapsed and slept for hours afterwards

He didn't move like at all in his sleep which freaked them all out because Bumlets always seemed to be doing something + he slept for like a whole day

The boys worried about him

Bumlets was a lil sleepy and sheepish when he woke up but good

Used his cane extra that day

The newsies are super great

They don't always understand but they try really hard and love him to death

There aren’t really a lot of words to help him explain things because it is 1899 but they all make it work, and if the kids can sell papes and live with the rest of them they have been absorbed into their crazy weird family and will be fought for

They've become pretty good at noticing signs for when he's getting overwhelmed

Usually someone will grab him and take him out to rest if he’s not in a space to just go himself

Different people do different things but he loves them all

Some of the boys will just have quiet conversations with Bumlets one-on-one about things he loves when he's more coherent

One just sits with him quietly supportive while he fiddles with stuff

He actually doesn't smoke a lot but he loves fiddling with cigars or messing with them in his mouth

Oral stim

He used to use them a lot more

He still uses them sometimes and has some around

One time after a really bad day (meltdown) Race gave him one of his cigars. He made him promise not to tell anyone but Bumlets was so happy he couldn't care less

He was very careful with said cigar bc it was from Race

So it was automatically important

He doesn't always understand Race cause he's super witty but he loves hearing him talk

Bumlets can be a really convincing liar. He's not the best but he can definitely pass and he kind of has to on the streets

Can be really loud

Rowdy boy, like the rest of the newsies

Adventurous as frick

Wild child

He’s super eager and almost always seen smiling

He’s excited by so many things

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have other emotions because he definitely does

He feels like he just soaks up all emotions and dealing with them when he can’t understand is a mess

Skittery is great at listening even when Bumlets is past the point of words or even understanding how to put things into words

Doesn't always realize when things are supposed to be insults

Forgets he's supposed to take care of himself sometimes

He forgets he's supposed to eat and doesn't always realize if he's hungry or needs water

Exasperates Skittery and some of the boys but they try to remind him in case he doesn't remember

The newsies love him

He's awkward and nervous and doesn't understand things sometimes but really kind and cares very obviously about all of them

Appreciates the little things

He's good at noticing tiny details or inconsistencies others miss sometimes

While he’s friends are really great at helping that doesn’t mean he can’t fend for himself

He can definitely pick fights and hold his own and look after himself

His family is just their to help when things go sour

They don’t make him feel like he’s any less bc he’s “weird” or different

Skittery is incredibly close with him and helps him a lot

They’re So. Close.

Skittery helps keep track of things when his thoughts are more scattered

Bumlets is also very good at helping Skittery because he’s really smart with money and sorting things out

When he pushes himself too far sometimes Skittery is the exasperated friend who wants Bumlets to stop being an idiot and look after himself

He's really supportive and sometimes tugs him aside to help explain terms or phrases when Bumlets doesn't understand

Skittery also has a cane and they tussle a lot with them

Bumlets has always really loved that bc when they were starting it out it made him feel like he was one of them

They're almost always inseparable

And he has a hard time sometimes when he doesn't have Skittery because with Skittery things Make Sense 

When he's gone Bumlets is sad

He misses his friend

But the other boys are nice too and he loves them

He considers the newsies his family since he doesn’t really have his bio family anymore

[lanamemories]

hLO itsa me nai-io!!!!! (read shrieked in a high voice like mario if he buckled his dungarees too tight around the crotch)...... im sad i missed opening bt i had a pretty busy past 2 days so i didn’t hav any chance at all to b online bc i ws staying at a friends bt. anyway. excited to b here nw regardless of my Fashionably Late entrance. i’m 22 n live in manchester (the u freakin k Bay Bee) n cackle a little too mch like a witch fr supernatural suspicions nt to arise. thts all u rly need to kno. like this or hmu fr plots!! 

p.s. this is her pinterest for those of u tht like tht kind of thing

「 bridget satterlee. cis-female. 」have you seen lana jameson around yet? i hear SHE decided to be in ALPHA NU for their JUNIOR year as a DANCE major. the 21 year old SHEEP is known to be vivacious, alluring, childish and impulsive. ➨ the muse is written by nai. she is 22, in the gmt.

some random aesthetics: a red water pistol topped up with caribbean rum and covered in stickers of cartoon pin up girls, a vinyl record whirring silently because you got too distracted by a stranger’s hands to reach over and flip sides, giant inflatable flamingos floating in the aftermath of a pool party, smudgy lipstick kisses left like an autograph on someone else’s mirror, seventies platforms covered in bowie inspired lightening stripes, fanning the flush in your cheeks with a bright red flamenco fan in the back of a crowded lecture hall, michelangelo reminiscent statures clasping at their stone in suggestive places, bopping stranger’s on the forehead with heart shaped lollipops, a bumper sticker on the back of a convertible cadillac that says ‘SCRAPPY DOO IS A FILTHY SLUT’, lighting a paper lantern and saying “aw, how pretty,” only for the whole party to shriek as it crashes into a children’s tent in the next garden over, a ball point pen that turns a woman naked when you click up the nib, cackling so ferociously that you almost throw up and your ribs ache.

ok im a Lay Zee gorl n dnt wna waste any mre time redoin lana’s intro so im pastin in her old one so i cn hop right to interactions. the only thing i can think tht needs to b added is the stuff abt danny nielsen (an evil npc of mine bc im a sadist) who recently beat up zeke van doren (full name this is Official feel like im writin a journalist article) bc he found out him n lana slept tgether n her n danny were kind of dating if....u can call his idea of romance tht. danny is in custody nw bt its a whole Thing like.... is prob... known around lockwood bc it ws a pretty intense..... thing tht happened n danny ws quite a popular senior

grew up in a big house in albany, NY, bt also spent time all over the place n was in the city a lot

okay so her mum is an old money socialite / three time campaign model way back when n her dad is a big record label mogul. he owns a label called jameson records n they repped a few big rock bands back in the eighties, altho they’re mostly known for ‘poppy injects’ whose lead singer had a big heroin scandal tht brought down his career. lana p much grew up around musicians snorting lines instead of spooning down cereal fr breakfast n her parents were v much absent her whole life

they’re pretty well off obviously n bc of her relation to such a big music industry figure she’s hung out w a fair few relatively high rep ppl thru her teens. she amassed kind of an instagram following mainly fr her style (v penny lane-esque in some aspects aka lots of fur cuff trimmed jackets bt then also jst…. a wild combination of everything honestly. pastel faux fur coats, seventies style platforms, flame red cowboy boots, pink fishnet tights n glitter used like highlight Everywhere) n bc she’s undeniably very pretty

her parents always kind of jst… didn’t like her. it was v clear that she was an accident after her older brother caleb n that even when they just had him alone they weren’t cut out for parenthood. they always kind of jst… ignored her n hoped she’d go away. she had to mke herself microwave meals when she ws only like 12 bc they’d forget to get her anything. once she went like 6 days without her mum even looking her in the eyes once

despite this tho!!! she’s always been insanely close w her brother caleb. he’s her whole world. thts why when he decided to sign up to the army she ws understandably scared bt supported him after initially bein mad tht he ws leavin her all alone. bt then he wound up getting discharged under grounds of severe ptsd when he witnessed his best friend die in an explosion tht took place in a shock raid. caleb returned home n he was never the same n lana kind of felt like he’d died out there too. he’s in n out of hospital a lot n it’s rly hard on her bt she doesn’t tlk abt it to anyone rly

growing up lana was always a huge social butterfly. jst literally…. knew everyone n everyone definitely knew her. she ws one of those girls tht ws kind of impossible to ignore or forget. very animated, always made u feel like u were the centre of the universe whenever she spoke to u, always made it feel like u were best friends even if ud only spoken to her once. she has this magnetic way abt her tht is kind of hard to find in real life. it’s something ud only rly expect out of a movie character n she like. deliberately puts tht on sort of. kind of.... is always playing A Role of the person tht she wants to b seen as

she’s always been insatiably spontaneous n adventurous. always doing something weird n wild every weekend. she has ten thousand stories tht always earn a laugh or a gasp over how ridiculously absurd they r

anyway so after caleb got back he was rly withdrawn n depressed. he shut lana out n was kind of harsh to her a lot of the time, always telling her to leave him alone or pushing her away. it didnt help either tht lana had a rly traumatic experience w some of her dad’s colleagues at the label when she ws 16 n he was away n she cldnt even tell him abt it once he was bk bc of his own traumas. she kind of jst shut it all in n kept it to herself

this obviously?? made her spiral a lot. she was already a girl tht loved sex (she’d only rly done foreplay before tho) but since her trauma it got…. completely out of hand. it got to a point where she couldnt rly go 2 days without it, probably not even 1. her lowest point has probably been scrolling thru craiglist for anonymous encounters n meeting up w strangers on there fr a quick fuck jst for the thrill even tho it’s insanely dangerous n she cld wind up getting herself killed. it’s v clear at this point tht she has a sex addiction whether she’s ever admitted it or not

she also currently? is working as a cam girl. she found this website bc she trawls… porn stuff a lot n she wound up applying to work as one bc she thought it’d b fun n wld earn her some disposal income (even tho she frankly doesn’t need it bc she’s already well off). the guy tht manages all of the girls on the site is kind of suspect n it’s a whole plot i’m gna unravel where it’s actually like the front for a cult or something wild so. stay posted ig. kgjdkgjh

personality/some fun facts: uncontrollably flirty. boundlessly confident. cld make a joke out a paper bag n her comedy is sometimes surreal / absurd. she tends to laugh when she feels like crying n has a smile brighter than a ray of texas sunshine. always dapples her fingers thru the breeze when she’s driving in a car w the window down. her fav book as a child used to b alice in wonderland n she’d fantasise abt having her own little wonderland too where everyone knew her name n asked her things n took her on adventures. at the time it didn’t rly strike her how evident it was tht that was bc she was so lonely. she almost always has some sort of sweet on her, whether it’s strawberry laces or gummy bears or cherry lollipops. she adores david bowie n prince n madonna n anyone tht’s a vintage style icon w little care fr what ppl think. wildflowers r her favourites bc they’re the brightest and u can’t buy them. she’s had like 8472493874 ‘relationships’ n none of them hav lasted beyond a month / hav been terrible / hav seen her being treated badly / she’s cheated on them. i dnt think she’s actually been w anyone she hasn’t cheated on in some form or another

plot ideas: exes tht lana’s fucked over hideously. she’d probably cheat a lot and it’d be a whole…mess. mayb someone tht flipped the switch and cheated on her? a cousin plot cld b fun too. a friend tht lana fel out w bc she slept w their significant other. someone tht’s getting lana into drugs?? she’s kind of impressionable/down for anything so tht’s a likely scenario she’d get into tbh. an unrequited crush!! (either way is cool). someone tht is just hanging out w her/using her bc she has a lot of instagram followers or they want to b signed to her dad’s label. someone in a band!! she’d probably make like penny lane n b their groupie/sleep w them all fgjkshgkh. umm a good influence too mayb? oh and a past summer romance/fling tht cld either have meant a lot or not have meant anything at all. bonus points if both of them hav a diff viewpoint on it. honestly?? anything is fine i cld ramble for days

Fidget

A Davey centered fic

word count: 5777 warnings: panic attack, delancey bullying, cursing i guess pairings: well. it was supposed to be javey when i started it. davey/jack/crutchie/race 

ao3 version: (x) 

i’m thinking about one of two things for a possible sequel... either three entirely separate chapters that are like alternate branches from the ending of this, one for each (davey) ship, or just saying screw it and just having a polyship, so if anyone has a preference, feel free to suggest one or the other. anyways, enjoy what was supposed to be a like 1000 word one shot. 

David Jacobs was not scared. Anxious, maybe, but it wasn’t like he was just going to hide in his bed because of his nerves of going to a new place… Okay, well, maybe he was. He looked at his phone as the alarm rang again, and he hit snooze again, hoping that maybe it would buy him time to prepare himself. Of course, Sarah wasn’t going to let him do that.

“Dave, come on, we have to go or we’ll be late!” she called, opening his bedroom door so he had no choice but to get up.

David still thought that maybe he could buy another minute or two. But Les came in, shaking him, “Come on, come on! Sarah’s driving me to school too!”

“Alright, alright, I’m coming! Give me five minutes,” Dave said.

“Alright, but’cha better be down there or I’ll get Sarah!” Les said as he scampered off.

David sighed, closing the door so he could get dressed. He’d already spent two hours last night trying to find an outfit that would make a nice first impression but not be too much. As he tugged on the simple ensemble, he wasn’t sure about it. What had he been thinking, a polo? He was practically asking to get made fun of!

“David, I’m leaving in two minutes!” Sarah called from downstairs.

“I’ll be right down!” he called back, sighing and fixing his collar, trying to make his hair lay flat, which of course it refused to. He didn’t have time for this now.

He grabbed his messenger bag, making sure he had everything he needed, wait. He frantically looked around for a second, relaxing when he saw the little bean-filled cat. He let out a shaky breath, squishing the beans in it for a moment to calm himself down before he put it in the side pocket of his backpack, in the mesh part for holding water bottles.

“We can do this, Noodles… I can do this…”

He stood up, going downstairs to where his siblings were waiting.

As soon as they saw him, Les ran out the door and Sarah grabbed her keys, ruffling his hair.

“It’s gonna be fine, David, it’ll probably just be a normal boring school day, just with some new people,” Sarah said as he tried to fix it with a groan.

“Easy for you to say, everyone always loves you after talking to you like five minutes,” David grumbled as they got into Sarah’s old car.

“Well maybe if you actually tried to talk to people,” Sarah retorted, glancing at him before she pulled out of the driveway.

David didn’t respond to that, instead, he let Les talk on and on about how excited he was to start at a new school and what he hoped would happen. David didn’t quite have that level of enthusiasm. In fact, if the world just suddenly ended, he’d have no problem with it cause then at least he wouldn’t have to deal with new people and being the new kid halfway through the semester. Not that his other school had been particularly good, but he also didn’t see how it could get any better. He simply watched out the window, idly messing with his cat toy.

Once they dropped Les off at his elementary school, they were headed towards their new high school. This whole situation was totally unfair to him cause if something happened to Sarah or Les, Les would be going to the middle school next year, and Sarah off to college. But no, he’d be stuck there for another year. Being the middle child sucked.

As Sarah parked, he felt his nerves shoot up again, and he went to find his schedule and his map again as Sarah got out like this wasn’t any big deal. God, having an anxiety disorder sucked too. He found the sheets, getting out and letting Sarah lock the car as they walked towards the building, and he could feel his hands beginning to sweat.

“Stop overthinking things, I can hear your brain whirling from here,” Sarah said, smacking his arm lightly. “I’ll walk you to your first class, but from there you’re on your own.”

David nodded, making a bit of a face at her as they walked. Thankfully, she kept close as they walked through people, some of which turned to look at them, but most ignored them. They found Dave’s first class, English with Mr. Weisel.

“Meet me by my car after school, text me if you need anything, anything else I should say as the oldest sibling, blah blah,” Sarah grinned.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever,” David smiled back, but as soon as she left his nerves kicked in again.

A boy sitting across the little hallway whistled, “Was that your sister?”

Another boy sitting beside him said, “Ay, can I get a number?”

“I think I’m in love,” a third boy swooned.

David decided to ignore them as he pretended to look on his phone, just trying to pass the time until the bell would ring and he could go in.

“Ay, you new here or somethin’? I ain’t never seen you around here,” the first boy asked, making David look up.

Not trusting his voice, he simply nodded.

“Ay, well, welcome to ‘Hatten High! The name’s Racetrack Higgins, erryone round here calls me Race,” the boy said, standing up with a flourish. “These here fellas are Albert and Romeo.”

“Um… Nice to meet you, uh, Racetrack,” David said a little slowly. Surely that couldn’t be his real name, but he guessed it didn’t much matter anyway.

“And what’s yours, pretty boy?” Albert asked, nodding his head at him.

“D-David,” he answered, trying not to flush at the nickname.

“Well, itsa pleasure ta meet ya, Davey!” Race grinned.

Was he this friendly with everyone? David sighed in relief when the bell rang, opening the door and sitting in one of the seats in the front.

“Whoa, whoa, you don’t wanna sit there,” Romeo warned.

“That’s Jack Kelly’s seat,” Albert said, nodding and sitting at his own seat.

“Are there assigned seats?” David asked, not moving.

“No, but Jack sits there every day, so it’s his seat,” Race explained, sitting behind him.

“It’s kind of silly to expect me to move just cause some kid sits here every day, isn’t it?” David said, raising his brow at Race. Being turned around in his seat, he didn’t notice the boy coming over to him. “After all, I was here first.”

“That you were, kid,” a voice very close to David said, making him jump and turn back around.

Bent over the desk, propped with his head in his hands and his elbows on the desk, was the most attractive boy David had ever seen in his life, smirking at him. Oh dear god, help him.

“Sorry, Jack, we tried ta warn him,” Race grinned.

“That’s alright, I’ll sit by you today, Race,” Jack said, sliding behind David, who was just trying to not panic but now for a much gayer reason.

“Hi,” said a smaller blonde boy with a crutch said as he sat beside David. “I’m Crutchie!”

“Th-that can’t be your real name,” David said, looking at him in concern.

Crutchie just laughed, shrugging. “We all have nicknames, and if you’re wondering if it bothers me, it doesn’t. What’s yours?”

David could feel Jack’s piercing stare on him without even turning around all the way. “D-David.”

“What, you scared of us or somethin’?” Jack said, making David jump in his seat.

“N-no,” Dave said very unconvincingly. He cleared his throat, “Just, uh, new place and all.”

“Well, there ain’t no reason to be afraid, we don’t bite,” Jack said with a grin. “Unless you want us to,” he added with a wink.

David did not blush, no way, he just simply turned back around and started getting out his notebook, idly squishing Noodles to get his heart rate back in check as the teacher came to the front of the room.

“Hey, how was your weekend, Weasel?” Race asked the teacher.

“It’s Weisel, and please could you say Mr. for once?” he replied, sounding defeated, as though this happened often.

“Sure thing, Mr. Weasel!” Albert said, making the other boys laugh.

“Don’t make me give you detention again, Albert,” he said. “Anyways, let’s get started. Ah, I see our new student is here, David is it?”

Dave nodded.

Weisel gave him a look, “Well, don’t try to cause any trouble like your neighbors do. You’ll get caught up, so pay attention. Now, everyone open your books to page 234.”

Dave followed instructions, trying to ignore the boy behind him, who he swear he could still feel the eyes of.

Thankfully, Jack had another class after Weisel’s that was the opposite direction, so David was spared for at least an hour. And Race offered to help him find his next class, which turned out he shared with him.

Algebra was run of the mill, he easily knew where they were, and Race had looked at him like an angel sent by heaven when he offered help to the struggling boy.

Race had tagged him off to Crutchie for the choir class they shared. Not that Dave didn’t like singing, but the only reason he’d taken it was cause it was the only elective other than woodshop available at this point in the semester. But Crutchie seemed friendly enough, so he guessed he was glad to sit next to him. They’d finished early, so David went back over his schedule.

“Oh, you have French next?” Crutchie tried to think if any of the boys were taking that. “I know Romeo was taking French cause he wanted to ‘impress the ladies’, but I can’t remember when it was. I think he’s in that one, but I might be wrong. Either way, it’s right by Weisel’s room, just like down the hall and to the left.”

“Thanks, I really appreciate the help you and Race have been giving me today,” David said honestly.

“It’s no problem, really,” Crutchie waved it off, smiling bright as the sun. “Hey, you got anywhere to go for lunch?”

David faltered, looking down. He hadn’t even thought about that. He could maybe tag along with Sarah, whatever she was doing. But he didn’t really want to intrude if she had found some friends.

“Me and the boys eat out in that courtyard out behind the school, where those tables are, if you’d like to join us,” Crutchie offered. “You’ve already seen most of them, in homeroom.”

“That’s very kind of you, but I wouldn’t want to intrude,” David said softly.

“No, no,” Crutchie said, swatting his arm lightly. “No intrusion, it’s an invitation. Come on, at least give it a chance, since ya don’t have anywhere else to go today.”

“The way you say that makes it sound shady,” Dave made a face.

Crutchie laughed, “Maybe! You’ll have to come find out, won’t you?”

David managed a soft smile. Well, at least it gave him a place to hang out for today. “Alright. But if there’s anything shady, I’m bailing.”

“Deal!”

And so David Jacobs found his way back to Jack Kelly.

“Ah, so the infamous seat stealer comes to steal my crown again, ay?” Jack said loudly as he saw David walk over, fidgeting with the strap of his bag.

“Crutchie invited me over here, so…” David wasn’t really sure what else to say. There were the eyes of like fifteen boys on him.

Crutchie nodded, “And I was beginning to think you bailed out.” He gestured for him to sit on the seat next to him, and Race scooted over so he could.

“So, Davey, guess I should introduce you to the boys!” Jack nearly bellowed. David couldn’t help but think his accent was cute. Well, they all had the accent, technically he’d probably be considered the one with an accent since he was the different one, but still.

“You already know Race and Crutchie, Albert, Henry, Elmer, Specs. That over there is Finch, Buttons, Jojo. Sniper and Splasher. Blink and Mush, Romeo, Mike ‘n Ike, and Tommy Boy.” As he spoke, Jack pointed to each boy in turn while David tried to remember their names and faces.

David waved a little, giving a slightly weak smile at the array of boys before he turned back to Jack. “So like… what is this? Like are you all just friends or is it a club or something?”

“We call ourselves the Newsboy Union cause we all used to work on the school paper,” Crutchie explained. “Or the Newsies for short.”

David looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. “There’s a school newspaper?”

Race shrugged beside him, “Not anymore, they actually got rid of it the end of last year cause no one was readin’ it.”

“But we was all friends, so we stayed in touch,” Jack grinned.

“That’s good, I guess.” David didn’t add the thought he was thinking of “I’ve never known what that was like.”

Slowly, the Newsies began going back to their conversations, and David pulled his messenger bag onto his lap to get his sandwich. Race seemed to notice the little cat toy on the side.

“Aw, what’s this?” he asked, poking at the beans.

“Oh, um…” David flushed a little, he didn’t really want to admit why he had it but… “It’s, um, it helps me calm down when I’m nervous.”

“That’s adorable,” Race grinned, although it seemed genuine and not mocking.

“Um, thanks,” Davey said, squishing the beans a little to calm himself, not noticing Jack watching.

The rest of lunch, and the day, went by without a hitch. None of his classes didn’t have at least one Newsie in it, so there was a somewhat familiar face everywhere he turned. It was odd but nice to have people clapping his back and ruffling his hair when they saw him.

He was alone now, walking towards the front of campus to meet Sarah when two boys stopped him. They looked like seniors, and David could immediately tell that they weren’t stopping him to make friends.

“Excuse me,” he said, trying to push past them, but of course they moved to block him.

“What’s this?” one of them asked, reaching down and grabbing Noodles before Dave could stop him. “Aw, a little cat for the little pussy!”

David couldn’t move. His breath hitched, and red alerts were going off in his head, and he frantically tried to grab his toy back, getting pushed back by the other. Dave fell flat on his ass, his hands beginning to shake as the one holding his beloved toy began pulling on the loose string Davey had meant to fix a few days ago. He gasped out weak protests as the string broke and the beans began to fall out of it. Noodles’ whole torso was ripped in half, then the senior threw it on the ground, dirtying it with the bottom of his shoe. Davey was doubled over, hyperventilating as they laughed, tears running down his face. He didn’t hear the shout from behind him, all he could think was the most precious thing to him was ruined, completely destroyed, and he couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t feel his hands, they were going numb, he couldn’t breathe.

“Davey, Davey, look at me,” Crutchie’s voice said, snapping him out of it a little. He faintly felt Crutchie’s hands holding both of his. “Breathe, in, out, in, out.”

Davey tried to follow, but he couldn’t, he kept messing it up and getting more frustrated about it, tears pricked his eyes again, but Crutchie squeezed his hands.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, just focus on breathing, I got you, I’m right here,” the blonde said easily, the tone helping Dave relax even through the sounds of fighting he now heard. Crutchie made sure his eyes stayed on him, blocking the view of whatever was happening behind him.

“If you ever so much as look in his fucking direction again, I’ll have my whole gang on you, and I swear that on my fuckin’ mudda!” Jack yelled after the two seniors, absolutely fuming. “Fucking cowards,” he muttered under his breath, picking up the torn cat as he kneeled beside Davey. “You alright, Davey? Shit…”

Davey was obviously not alright, tears streaking down his cheeks and dizzy from his panic attack, heartbroken about his favorite toy and support system being wrecked.

“Ay, don’tchu worry, we’ll fix this, alright?” Jack said, sounding as nervous as Davey felt.

“I’ll call Buttons, he can fix it up, he’s probably still in the library with Finch,” Albert said, already pulling out his phone.

Race was holding his face, and Davey realized that a black eye was forming. At his worried look, Race waved him off. “Ah, don’t worry ‘bout me, I get ‘em all the time.”

Davey covered his mouth, tears threatening to fall again, but for a different reason this time.

“Hey, hey, hey, it’s alright, it’s alright!” Jack said almost frantically, putting a hand on Davey’s shoulder. “Don’t- don’t cry!”

“Wh-why are you guys being so nice to me?” Dave asked hoarsely, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Cause you’re our friend now,” Crutchie said softly, rubbing his shoulder. “Friends look out for each other.”

“Yeah, besides, the Delancey brothers deserved a good soakin’ anyways,” Race grinned. “Fuckin’ bastards always think they’re better than everyone else.”

Davey’s throat closed up and he couldn’t answer to either of them. He felt a buzzing in his pocket and jumped, taking his phone out. It was Sarah. Davey looked at it, looking back up at the others, knowing he couldn’t answer it.

“Is that your sister we saw earlier?” Race asked.

Davey nodded, and Race took the phone and answered it. The boys all half expected him to answer with a flirt, but to their surprise, he was completely serious.

“I’m a friend a Davey’s, he got in a predicament with some nasty fellas, but we got him, he’s alright now.” Race said into the phone, pausing a moment. “Yeah, I don’t think he can talk at the moment, he’s kinda shaken up about it, and his little beanie cat got destroyed.” Another pause. “Oh shit… well, that makes sense.” Pause. “Yeah, we can get him home, we’ll make sure he’s there by sundown.” He hung up the phone, giving it back to Davey, who was watching him with wide eyes. “She says she has ta go pick up your brudda, so we’ll take ya home.”

“Buttons and Finch are on the way too,” Albert said. “Buttons says he ain’t doin’ anything tonight so he’ll be able to help as long as he’s home for dinner.”

Davey was just trying not to cry again, and Crutchie hugged him lightly enough that Dave could push him off if he was uncomfortable, Jack keeping his hand on Dave’s shoulder. Race ruffled Davey’s hair gently. David wasn’t used to this much contact but he didn’t exactly hate it. They all stayed like that for a few long moments, Albert watching for the other two.

When Buttons and Finch came running down, Jack stood up, bringing the toy to Buttons, who took it and began folding it over, nodding.

“Yeah, we get more of the filling for it and it’ll be an easy fix, we can get that at a craft store, there’s one a couple blocks down,” Buttons said.

“I’ll pay you for it, and anything else you need ta fix it, we can go to my place and wash it so the Delancey stink is off of it,” Jack said, fishing out a twenty from his wallet and handing it to Buttons. “Meet us there?”

Buttons took the money and nodded, going off with Finch to get the supplies. Albert signaled he was going home since they had it covered and would see them later. Jack helped Crutchie stand while Race got Davey up, slinging an arm around him.

“How’s about we stop and get you somethin’ ta cheer up in the meantime? There’s a candy shop on the way ta Jack’s apartment,��� Race suggested.

“I-I don’t have any money on me,” Davey said.

Race pat Davey’s chest lightly, “My treat.”

Well, Dave couldn’t exactly not blush or say no to that. “O-okay,” he squeaked out.

Race led him behind the other two, keeping his arm around his shoulders so while they walked through the crowds down the street, Davey wouldn’t feel crushed in them. It actually really helped, cause otherwise, Davey might’ve been freaking out at so many people around. He wasn’t used to the crowds of the city yet, and he was thankful Jack and Crutchie were pushing through first.

When they pulled into the candy shop, Davey let out a small breath, happy to be out of the crowds. Then his eyes widened at how colorful the small store was. Race, a little to Davey’s disappointment, took his arm away, nudging him forward.

“Go on, anythin’ ya want.”

He noticed the other three looked around but didn’t seem to be getting anything.

“Are you not getting any?” Davey asked, a bit of concern in his voice.

Race realized he was getting anxious about being the only one getting something, and he shrugged. “I figured you get enough, I can just steal from you,” he teased.

Davey seemed to take note of that, “Then what would you suggest I get?”

Race saw what he was doing. “You put one of those chocolate cigars in there and I’ll be gold. Anything else is up ta you.”

Davey did so, seeming more content with that as he put some dark chocolate candy and some sour lemon candies into the little plastic baggie. Race took out a ten dollar bill, paying for the candy, and then the four were on their way again. And if Race pulled Davey back under his arm to make sure he didn’t run into a woman only to leave it there, no one said anything about it.

A couple blocks later, and the crowds had loosened up, and there weren’t as many people walking down this street. For New York City, it was actually pretty quiet. Jack lead them up some steps to an apartment, unlocking the door and letting them in.

It was a little small, a little dirty, but it wasn’t bad. They shuffled in through the small hallway, and Race took Davey to the couch, flopping onto it like it was his own. Crutchie took his place on a chair beside them, setting his crutch to the side. Meanwhile, Jack went into the kitchen, deciding to handwash Noodles. Realizing this, Davey followed him in after setting his bag down while Race flipped through channels.

Jack was filling up the sink with warm water, making a sort of bubble bath for the dirty cat to soak in. He didn’t seem to notice Davey was standing there yet, his brows furrowed in focus as he rubbed the grime off of the toy.

“Jack?”

Jack looked up, a little startled, as Davey walked over.

“Yeah, what is it?” he asked, looking back at Noodles.

“Thanks. For everything. And also sorry I stole your seat this morning, you can have it back tomorrow,” Davey said, looking at him.

Jack smiled, almost laughing. “Nah, you can keep it, prolly best ta keep you and Crutchie together, I’m really no good at dealing with anxiety, as you mighta seen today.”

“You helped in your own way. You got the source away, since it was a physical one this time, and now you’re helping me fix the problem. I’d say that’s dealing with it in a way,” Dave said softly.

“It’s the least I could do,” Jack mumbled.

“It’s really not. You are going out of your way to do this for me, even though it’s stupid and probably silly,” David said, and it was quite matter-of-fact. “So thank you.”

“It ain’t stupid or silly if it helps ya, Davey,” Jack said. “We all got things that keep us goin’, and if yours is a little stuffed cat, then so be it.”

Davey smiled shyly. “His name is Noodles.”

Jack nodded, pulling the soaking wet Noodles out of the sink. He pretended to shake his paw. “Hello, Sir Noodles, it’s an honor to meet you. Thank you for your service in helping our Davey, and we will get you back on the front line as soon as we can.”

Davey started laughing at that, covering his mouth. He shook his head at Jack, who was grinning back at him.

“Well, ain’t that a nice sound?” Jack teased.

Davey blushed a little, putting his hand down and holding them together, still smiling softly. It didn’t help the redness on his face that Jack was still looking at him. So, he went to the sink, not really thinking about the fact that that just brought them closer. He squished Noodles’ head, feeling the water squeeze out with some bubbles. Jack turned the sink back on and Davey rinsed his stuffie off, squeezing the soap out gently. Once content with it, Jack led him to the dryer, starting it up once Davey had placed it gently inside and closed the door.

They both headed back wordlessly back into the living room. Race had the chocolate cigar in his mouth, and he pretended to puff it out at Davey, who snorted and shook his head as he sat back on the couch beside him. Jack was still standing, checking his phone.

“What’cha doin’ over there?” Race asked, looking over at Jack.

Jack looked up, raising his eyebrows. “Ah, Finch says they have to detour to Button’s place real quick so they’ll be a bit longer, but they’ll be here within the hour.” He shrugged, “Gives Noodles time to dry anyways.”

“Aw, is its name Noodles?” Crutchie asked, looking at Davey, who nodded shyly.

Race reached over, pinching Dave’s cheek. “That’s adorable, Davey~”

Dave pushed his hand away, earning a laugh from Race. Jack flicked Race’s ear, and Race retaliated by smacking his arm. David thought from the sound it must’ve hurt, but Jack just laughed, messing up Race’s hair. He looked at Crutchie with a silent question of “do they do this often?” Crutchie smiled, waving his hand in a “don’t worry about it” motion.

By the time that Buttons and Finch got there, they’d gotten a pizza delivered that they all chipped in for (save for Davey, who felt bad about it). Noodles was out of the dryer, and Davey was holding the warm fabric, his plush cotton head still alright thankfully. Davey handed it to Buttons, who sat cross-legged on the floor across from them. Finch sat beside him, setting the bag between them.

“We’re watchin’ Goonies,” Race said.

Finch nodded at the movie choice and took a slice of pizza, while Buttons went to work, flipping the fabric inside out and beginning to stitch it up. Crutchie realized after about fifteen minutes that Davey was fidgeting with his hands anxiously as he watched Buttons work, picking at the skin around his nails enough to make it bleed. He stood, hopping over to the couch and sitting beside Davey, who looked at him in confusion. Crutchie took Davey’s hand, squeezing it gently. Davey blinked at that but seemed to relax a little bit, able to watch the movie a little more.

Within fifteen minutes, he’d completely sunk into Crutchie’s shoulder, the other boy’s arm around his shoulders. He had his other hand on Crutchie’s too, so the blond’s was sandwiched in between his own, mainly out of not knowing what else to do with it. Jack had stolen Crutchie’s chair since he moved, and Race was leaned against the couch beside them, idly chewing on the chocolate cigar as he watched the movie.

About half an hour later, Finch was helping Buttons pour the little plastic beans into the little hole left. Once it was filled, Buttons motioned for Davey to come over and feel.

“More or less filling?” he asked.

Davey squished it around testingly, “A little more, and then it’s perfect.”

Buttons nodded and added the beans, letting him try again.

Davey nodded happily, “Perfect!”

Buttons nodded, sewing up the last or it and tying it off, and Finch handed him the scissors. He cut off the string and handed him to Davey, who smiled widely as he inspected Noodles. Like he was brand new.

“Thank you so much, seriously, it means a lot,” Davey said, looking between the two.

“No problem, Davey,” Buttons said, smiling back at him.

“Besides, Jack mighta had our asses had we not,” Finch joked.

Davey stood, going back over to the couch, squishing Noodles’ beany tummy. All was right in the world now.

“Well, I gotta get home or Ma’s gonna have my ass. See you guys tomorrow,” Buttons said, standing as well, Finch following him with a salute.

The four remaining waved and said various goodbyes as they walked out. Davey looked at his own phone; Sarah had just texted asking if he was okay and if he was coming for dinner/should they save a plate for him. He replied that he’d be home soon, but he’d already eaten. She replied a moment later with a thumbs up emoji.

“I should probably head home before it gets dark,” Davey sighed, suddenly realizing that his home was not exactly a walkable distance. Well, it was technically, but it would be dark by the time he’d get home. “It’s kinda far…”

“You can take the subway,” Crutchie suggested.

“I’ve never taken the subway,” Davey said nervously as he grabbed his bag.

Race perked up. “I can take ya. Where ya at?”

Dave thought for a moment, “Over by the Chelsea Market.”

“Oh, yeah, I gotcha, that’s like twenty minutes,” Race said.

“You two get on outta here, we’ll see you tomorrow in homeroom,” Jack said with a smile. “You get some rest after your exciting first day,” he added with a wink to Davey.

Davey smiled softly, waving to the two… his friends. Race saluted before leading Dave out to the street, taking his hand as for some reason, he began running.

“Why are we running?!” Davey exclaimed.

Race laughed aloud to the sky, “Why not!”

“Because people are going to look at us weird?” Davey managed out, holding his bag under his arm.

“I dunno what it’s like wherever you’re from, but this is New York, baby!” Race said, looking back a moment to grin at him. “No one gives a fuck here!”

Davey managed to laugh as Race led him in a run through people, managing to get to the subway, and only did Race stop. Davey panted, not used to running. “I-is that why they call you Race?”

Race’s own face was flushed, and he giggled, holding Davey’s back to make sure he was okay. “Clever, aren’t ya? It’s actually cause I like to bet on horse races, but it’s a good guess.”

Once they’d caught their breath, Race led him through the subway system, getting tickets and waiting for the train. When they got on, Davey let out a small laugh, Race looking over at him with a smile.

“Thanks, Race,” he said, looking back at him.

“I figured you could use a laugh after the shit you dealt with today,” Race said, nudging Davey’s shoulder with his own.

“Yeah,” Davey said softly, looking at Race’s black eye and remembering it was there. “Is that gonna be alright though?”

“This?” Race asked, pointing at his eye. “Yeah, it’ll go away in a few days, it’s just a bruise. Fuckin’ Oscar managed to spot me, but I’ll say he looked much worse as they ran.”

“Do you guys get in fights often or was that just for me?” Davey asked, a little worriedly.

Race shrugged, “Not often, but it happens.”

Davey looked down at Noodles, squishing him between his fingers. Race leaned back against the seat, crossing his arms gently. There was something comforting about the rocking of the train car and the noise it made. Davey looked out the window, watching tunnel walls and graffiti pass by. It opened for a moment out to look over a piece of the city, and Davey smiled softly.

Race nudged him as they got close to their stop, and Davey made sure he had everything, double checking before they got off. They walked up the steps back out onto the street, and Davey could see his apartment complex from here. Race walked with him, looking around.

“This is me,” Davey said, walking a few steps up before turning to look back at Race. “Thanks for walking me home.”

“No problem, Davey. You ever have a problem, you know who to call.” Race seemed to realize something. He pulled out his phone. “Here, put your number in, I can add you to our big Newsies groupchat. Fair warning, put that shit on mute or it’ll never be quiet.”

Davey laughed, putting his contact in. “Thanks for the warning.”

“I’ll send you a list of their numbers so you can put their contacts in too,” Race said as he put his phone in his pocket.

“Okay,” Davey smiled genuinely. “Have a good night, Race.”

“You too, Davey,” Race saluted, stepping back but waiting until Davey was heading inside to walk off.

Davey, of course, was immediately interrogated about what happened, and he explained everything from homeroom to getting invited to lunch, to the attack and them helping him.

Once his family was satisfied with his answer and Sarah had teased him about his “boyfriends”, Davey was going back upstairs to his room, flopping onto his bed. He pulled out his phone, eating some of the dark chocolate that Race had bought him, seeing a flurry of messages that he blinked at.

He saved all the numbers, using Race’s text to put names to them. He looked at the groupchat, seeing a lot of “welcome, davey”s and “welcome to hell”s before it turned into memes and what were obviously inside jokes. He did go ahead and mute the chat but texted back “Thanks guys, I appreciate it.” followed shortly by a “I’m going to put my phone down though and get some homework done. Goodnight.”

By the time he’d finished the homework and done some light reading, it was nearly ten. He changed into his pajamas, shutting off his light and making his way back over to his bed, plugging his phone in. He saw he had a few texts.

Race: got home okay, in case u were worried ;) Race: goodnight sweetheart ;p

Crutchie: hope you’re feeling better! See you tomorrow

Jack: tell Noodles i say goodnight Jack: you too of course Jack: but nOodles has to know Jack: lol goodnight davey

Davey smiled, chuckling softly to himself. To Race, he sent, “I’m glad to hear it, have a good night.” To Crutchie, “I am, thank you. See you tomorrow.” To Jack, “Noodles very much appreciates the goodnight message, and could he talk, I’m sure would be wishing you a good night as well. Goodnight, Jack.”

He put his phone down, setting Noodles down beside it to protect it before he rolled over, going to sleep happier than he had in a long time.
