AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SLAMING MY FISTS ON THE TABLE OH MY GOD. SOMEONE ELSE CARES ABOUT THEM I AM GOING TO FALL INTO THE RIVER AND THE BACKROOMS AND THROUGH THE FLOOR SMASHING MY LAPTOP SCREEN RN. THIS IS THE BEST NEWS IVE EVER RECIEVED. I LOVE THEM SO DEARLY U GET THEM SO BAD AUUGHHHH THEY ARE EVERYTHING TO ME. THEY NEVER INTERACT HELP BUT LIKE OMG LET ME LIE TO MYSELF AND PRETEND THEY DO ASNKJASKHJ

okokokookokok (vibrating) i should probably drop my personal hcs for their sibling relationship too since. apparently someone else on this floating rock also cares about this basically non existent family relationship no fucking way.

ALSO. TRUE IM NGL I REALLY DONT LIKE 90S MYMBLE JR ASJHHJASJK she genuinely feels like a completely different character to me. im mostly going off of the novels for mymble since we dont have much else to work with

snufkin and mymble r pretty different to eachother in terms of like personality and stuff but i think they would find that kind of endearing about eachother, mymble being like "oh look, there snufkin goes again, running off somewhere" (amused eye roll here 😭), snufkin lightheartedly being like "oh dear, shes looking dreamily out the window again little my, whos she fallen for this week"

i think mymble and snufkin would be pretty competitive, for example with card or board games and stuff. though if snufkin mymble and little my r all playing something together and little mys winning, snufkin and mymble DEFINETLY team up against her lol. all previous competitiveness between them completely thrown away just to beat little my

mymble would be really happy for him liking moomintroll romantically but i think shed def also tease him about it especially since snufkin teases her a little about her love life too. i think snufkin would actually find experiencing romantic attraction pretty distressing, which i think would be hard for mymble to understand but she listens to him and trys to make him feel better about it.

mymble would def try to wingman snufkin and he would be SUPER embarrassed about it 😭 shed give him kind of teasing but encouraging nudges and facial expressions when hes around moomintroll and snufkin would just immedietly start blushing and try to discreetly hide in his hat

personal hc i think at this point mymble would have her own house, like a tiny little cottage in the forest in moominvalley which some people including snufkin helped her build. i actually think shed be pretty capable at stuff like that, not really through having experience or knowing what shes doing, i think shed just have a lot of determination and confidence in herself to do things, even if she doesnt really know how. more like being determined to try and having confidence shell figure it out in the end lol

in this way i think shed be pretty impulsive sometimes, shed make an impulse decision to do something random and be hit with a burst of energy to do it, but i also think shed often have this wear off before she completes what she wanted to do and end up tiring herself out. with building a house i think this would happen like two thirds of the way through building and little my would probably tease her about it and this is where snufkin would step in to help her after she takes a break from it for a while, so that its less overwhelming of a task for her.

after the house is built, snufkin randomly pops by to visit her when wandering around the forest :) mymble gets a little lonely there sometimes so shes always happy to see him and hes always welcome

when mymble experiences heartbreak (not uncommon with how often she falls for people lol) i think snufkin would feel sympathetic towards her but not really be sure how to comfort her or make her feel better. hed listen to her talk about it not really knowing how to react and being a bit awkward, making giving her awkward pats on her arm lol. but he does gen care about her and and wants her to feel better so maybe makes her a cup of tea or coffee or something, or brings her some new flowers for her window vases. i think he would try and do little acts of service to make her feel better, not really knowing how else to help and being kind of awkward with emotional support. this one is def more mv19 snufkin specific, with how awkward he can be in that adaption lmaoo, i could probably see melody of moominvalley snufkin doing this too tbh

ANYWAYS AUUGHHH THEM <33333 FALLS OVER

btw i have a tag for them !!!! i tag everything with snufkin mymble and little my as mymble siblings so if u look at that tag on my blog thats where i collect silly posts about them if u wanna see fancontent of them :) i am trying to bad to make a tag for them happen lol because i really want an easier way to search them 😭❤️ ig it can also be used for just like all the siblings too BUT GAHH,,, THEM <33

yay, Snufkin and Mymble jr sibling HC time!!

unfortunately from what I’ve seen there isn’t much of them interacting. And the fandom also doesn’t really seem to care for this idea either :( and when the fandom dose it’s always of Mymble jr acting like her responsible 90s self which is disappointing, considering the only time I remember them interacting was when Mymble jr threaten to eat Snufkin’s hat (in midsummer madness)and even in the 90s the most we got was Snufkin being passive aggressive to Mymble jr. So the type of dynamic I see them having is a bit like Dippers and Mables (from gravity falls) sibling relationship!! Honestly both Mymblr jr and Mable try to live out their hopeless romantic dreams, even if it’s trying to impress a monster or a complete freak. Dipper is always done or does not care for Mable love plans unless there a chance it could harm her. I honestly can see Mym’J getting all in love with some random guy she found and snuf would probably tell her that it’s some weird forest monster thing (idk they live moominvalley literally anything could happen) Mymble jr would hope it would be a very specific type of monster and be more disappointed about it not working out then that she almost died (she would prob find that hot lol) I feel like a lot of people need to realize how much fun little comics and fan art can be to draw/write if you just make her accurate

#AUGHH THEM.....#BOUNCING AROUND #mymble siblings #myposts #not really since its a reply but i just dont have a better tag DSHJHHDSJGHJ

Him.

She had her share of horrible boyfriends during college. But then she met HIM.

Maddox Andrade.

In her third and last year of college he walked up to her and asked if the seat next to her was empty.

It hadn’t been, but her friends looking on from the side gave her a smile and walked off, leaving her alone with this handsome stranger.

He was a computer science major, had 7 siblings (wow) and told Maeve she had the most beautiful eyes he’d ever seen.

She was apprehensive at first. Especially after her last boyfriend, who left her high and dry after cheating on her and kicking her out of their apartment (the one HE insisted on moving in together nonetheless).

But here they were, 2 years later in their own (albeit small) house. Both fresh-faced and new in their respective careers. Her a journalist, him the random IT guy that was only still allowed to get coffees for others. Actually both of them were only still getting coffees for others.

But they didn’t care, they were happy and fullfilled and loved each other more than anything.

#sims 4 #ts4 gameplay #ts4 #the sims 4 #Maddox Andrade #Maeve Britton #This is just my thing now #just randomly starting a new family after the rivers lol #I had a legacy after the rivers where i was going on to gen 7 #so i noped out cause I didn't want to ruin them #I made maeve for funesies #and well here we are

I got a little carried away with names today. Started with Sweden then went all over the place lmao. I'd like your guys' opinions on the names I've chosen before I ever use them in published works.

Sorry for the long read in advance ^^

Sweden: Berthold— I just like it. Not 100% sold on it though. He still has his canon surname as, as far as I know, there are no issues with it.

Denmark: Mikkel Hanssen— I just like it lol.

Ladonia: Oscar(or Oskar)— Its pretty sweet which is why I'm pretty sure Sweden would have chosen it for him. Not sure which spelling I like better. Shares a surname with Sweden.

Liechenstien: Lotta Vogal— I like em both. Not super sure how correct in origin or popular Lotta is as I keep getting mixed results, often talking about Scandinavian origin and bringing up the name Lottie and how popular that is in America. But it does mention how its used in German speaking countries.

South Italy: Lorenzo— Its from both Italy and Spain so I think it fits Romano well. The meaning not so much but Romano probably picked it because that's how he'd like to see himself one day??

Rome: Gaius Vergilius Crispus— The praenomen Gaius comes from the same root as gaudere, which means to rejoyce, happy which fits Rome to a T. His nomen is Virgilius as a reference to poet Publius Vergilius Maro(Virgil). Crispus as his cognomen because of his curly hair. I wanted Romulus to be his praenomen, however Romulus is not a praenomen whatsoever. It seems to be a nomen. I'm quite fond of Virgilius though to be honest. I actually had to deep dive this one to make sure everything was correct(meaning and order). The praenomen are the given names and those weren't normally used outside of the family(meaning only Romano and Italy would call Rome Gaius). Rather it was either their nomen or cognomen used freely. So I had to keep the importance of each name in mind; I couldn't really find the meaning behind Virgilius except that it is the latinized version of the english Virgil.

Seborga: Alonzo— Finally found a name for Seborga that I think fits better than Romeo! Well I'm still not sure of it for the long run but it does fit better than Romeo at least(in my opinion).

Italies' surname: Russo— Not super sure of this one. Its Sicilan/Southern Italian in origin but quick google searches repeatedly tell me that it has spread to other regions due to internal migration. It's also the second most popular surname in Italy(or that's at least what several sites have told me). I'm not sure if Russo is a good name for all three of the Italy brothers, but I do think its at least a plausible one for Romano. And as Romano is the older brother, perhaps Veneziano just took it some time after unification? Maybe to try and feel closer to the brother he barely grew up with?

Greece's surname: Katsaros— I dunno about this one still. But curly-haired is at least better than being a watermelon. Might change later, might not.

Cyprus: Demetris Georgiou— Not super sure about his name as a whole. Nicos is an alternative given name. Not sure about an alternative surname.

America's middle name: Fitzgerald— Its speculated that the F in his name is a reference to John F. Kennedy(or its Freedom). John F. Kennedy's middle name is Fitzgerald. There you have it. Actually, I honestly didn't know JFK's middle name was Fitzgerald beforehand, I kinda just really liked Fitzgerald as America's middle name already. Then I went into looking up the name's origin and meaning and google just handed this fact to me kinda randomly. Either way, I really do like the ring Alfred Fitzgerald Jones has.

Australia: Kyle King— I just like the name Kyle for him. It sounds nice. No deep reason for choosing Kyle. King, however, I feel like he might have chosen to like say fuck you to England after abandoning him? Like I'm the King now?? I'm in control?? From what I've seen on a few sites, King is a fairly common surname. Also considering Martin or Walker as alternative options.

New Zealand: James Brown— He looks like a James so he is a James. According forebears.io, Brown is the 4th most common surname in New Zealand. I'm not super sold on this surname yet but I do quite like the combination of it with James.

Wy: Charlotte "Charlie"— She gives off a lot of tomboyish vibes to me so I wanted to give her a kinda "boyish" nickname that Australia most likely started. Well it just so happens that Charlotte is a pretty popular name in Australia! She shares Australia's surname.

Hutt River: David— He just looks like a David. Plain and simple. Shares a surname with Australia. Despite being dissolved, I still like his character(and design) so I refuse to acknowledge him being dead lmao.

Molossia: Maximilian "Max" Theodore Jones— I picked a kinda flashy name for him because I tried to think like him while choosing it. He looks up to America. America is often flashy and exaggerated. What better way than to get your mentor's attention than by a name like Maximilian?? And I simply thought Theodore would be a good correlation to the middle name I gave America; they're both references to US presidents(Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy).

Kugelmugel: Tobias— No super deep reason. Its common in Austria in the year(or close to) when was he founded. I think Austria isn't super creative when naming things or people so he picked something common. Kugel probably does not care.

Osaka: Honda Tetsuya— I think he'd share Japan's surname rather than having his own. As for his given name, I chose something pretty common in Japan as a whole. I'm not sure about this choice, however.

Niko Niko Republic: Takahashi Shigeru— Again, picked common names. I didn't think he'd share Japan's surname, especially after dissolving. I thought maybe he'd like his very own name as he chooses his very own life to live out into old age y'know? Not totally confident in these name choices, however.

Monaco: Jules— I'm debating whether I personally like her having the same surname as France or not. I haven't found any alternative surnames yet as I'm not really dwelling on it. Jules, however, I think fits her pretty well.

Holy Roman Empire: Otto— Reference to Otto I, the Holy Roman Emperor, as well as Otto von Bismarck to kinda correlate the Germany-HRE theory(whether I 100% believe it not).

I'm honestly considering giving Germany a different surname than Beilschmidt since he was never given one by Hima in the first place(even stated there was a reason for that). I'm not sure if I will or not because I'm still looking into surnames for HRE, which I'm having a hard time doing so if I'm honest. Its harder than picking Rome's tria nomina lol.

hi,so um just came across this blog and it seems really neat! I'd like to know more about it if you don't mind

sure thing! this might end up being a little long so just in case heres a tldr: wanted to make spam a new outfit and it just kind of spiraled form there

putting this under a readmore because this is gonna be kinda long im probably infodumping OTL

i made spamton a new outfit and starting coming up with a reason he’d have it so essentially, about a year before the events of ch 2, the phone randomly goes dead and the connection between spamton and gaster is abruptly severed. at this point, he still the spamton we have in game but all of the sudden its like someone turned on a light in a dark room and hes just kind of like???? whats going on??? he knows something happened, with everything starting to get bad at the mansion, but he can’t really remember the rest

im not so great at exposition(def better at drawing than writing lol) but eventually he bumps into swatch and they notice just how different spamton is and how weird that is but they decide to help him out and get him somewhere he can actually rest up and figure out what the hell is going on (neither of them actually figure it out though but the phone is something that comes up enough that swatch makes a mental note of it) so while hes resting up, spamton washes the black out of his hair because something about it just...rubs him the wrong way but, its some of it is permanently black no matter how much he tries to get rid of it (after a while, bleaching it gets annoying)

once hes all recovered(which isnt much, but honestly he’s so much better than he was before) spamton’s next goal is to get a job so he can “stop [[MOOCHING FREELOADER]]” off of swatch, swatch suggests setting him up with the gift shop job (which works out for him because he can focus more on being head butler) which spamton reminds them that one of the few things he does remember is being evicted and banned from the mansion but! hes got a plan! all that amounts to his changing his name back to spam. spamton may be banned, but spam isn’t.(swatch isnt sure how much that’ll work, but with how different he looks and acts, and figures that queen wont pay him much attention anyway, so it should be fine. maybe.)

but it works out and eventually spam is doing better and the job is working out really well (although the counter may or may not be built with swatchlings in mind) and as soon as hes truly on his own, swatch gives him a pager (re; [[REQUEST: NO PHONES]]) and after that, everything is somewhat normal until we reach the events of the chapter.

kris still meets spam in the same place in canon, but instead of actually living in the dumpster, hes trying to get behind it because he dropped his keys. whether or not kris helps him is kinda important but if i get into that this post will be longer than i want it to be lol (helping him earns kris a [[Friends and Family 50% Off Discount!]] at the cafe, though) neo is still a possibility too, but he’s not as insistent about it.

at first.

some other (not so important) spam details include:

-can no longer see without the glasses (which can do fun things like Static™️ and Bluescreen™️)

-doesn’t talk [[LIKE THIS]] all the time anymore, but any sort of heightened emotion (excited, stressed, ect.) can bring it out

-lost his glow after the acid river

-his pager has a new number and not his old one (Gaster-B-Gone™️)

-harboring anger at his siblings(maybe)

-sometimes has dreams where he can hear a phone, somewhere, ringing. he always wakes up before he can find it. he doesnt know why hes even looking for it

-changing his name back to spam is purely a business strategy and totally not because he wants to go back to normal as much as possible totally not the other thing he swears

-salt route au and snowgrave are still possibilities(im a sucker for angst ok)

i might update this post if i want to add anything, but for now i think thats about it! im going to draw more eventually, but my ipads on the charger right now. im happy you’re interested!

and yes i did call it pager au just because he solely uses a pager now im bad at names

#pager au #deltarune au

Soul On Fire [M]

Author: julietsoddeye Genre: Non-Idol, Rich Kids AU | Smut Pairing: Siwon x Reader x Junmyeon Warning(s): Unprotected three way sexual intercourse, slight degradation (but not using names like sl*t or wh*re because I do not fucking like those words!!!), slight kink-shaming in a very friendly??? bantering??? way idk im just listing the things I think are in here, sorry. There’s also hair pulling, kinda and all around being rough (mostly Siwon and reader I think lol huhuhaha) Also there’s mention of driving under the influence (like, not a lot, just a couple of beer cans maybe) AND cockwarming. dassit! Word Count: 3.1k

Plot: You and Junmyeon were there to send Siwon when he enlisted, and for sure you and Siwon will be there too when it comes Junmyeon’s time. The three of you have the weirdest camaraderie and nothing has changed over the years, you’re confident nothing will be different after tonight.

A/N: This is like 5% plot, 95% smut lmfao. I dedicate this to my unnie, of course @oh-beyond since I love her fic “Unintentional” so much, I read it for the second time and I was promptly inspired by her creation and this is the shit I got out of it. And I know I’m on hiatus, but, like, idek what I’m saying anymore. LOL bear with me, I’m insane and always lack sleep. Sorry.

You first met Siwon and Junmyeon when you were at the tender age of thirteen. You instantly had a huge crush with Siwon (you lowkey find Junmyeon cute too, they weirdly resemble each other). Who wouldn’t have a crush on any of them? They were, after all, part of the richest and most handsome boys in your school.

You were, however, just alright (at least in your mind). But you were the butt of every joke and mocking of the mean kids. You’re the new money type, you were teased a lot because you weren’t born into a rich family as they did.

Everything changed though when Siwon and Junmyeon stood up for you when the meanest kid in your class pushed you randomly because apparently, you were in her way even though you were just rummaging through your locker for the textbooks you will be needing for that day.

Siwon saw everything and he immediately grabbed her wrist and told her off, she scrambled to her feet afraid and confused why the popular kids are being nice to new money you. Junmyeon then helped you stand up as both of them asked you if you were alright. And you were, thanks to them.

As it turns out, their fathers, who co-CEO the biggest conglomerate in South Korea where your father works are the sole reason why you became Nouveau riche. Their fathers’ generosity didn’t stop with yours, the sons extended their helping hands to you as well.

Ever since that fateful day, you were suddenly respected overnight. Some students may have faked it, but you found good friends in their group.

Siwon was this sweet oppa — Your sweet oppa. He drives you to your dance and piano lessons when your parents are busy attending functions and parties. He buys you ice cream when you get upset and unsatisfied with your grades. And he kills bugs for you when a critter gets in your way. He’s silly too, makes all the funniest faces he can pull off just to make you laugh extra hard when you’re hanging out together.

Junmyeon was your study buddy and your seatmate (he’s miraculously in your class every year after you became close). Siwon was a few years older than both of you, while you and Junmyeon are in the same grade. He helps you focus when you’re suddenly distracted by the smallest of things. And when you’re not studying, he’s telling all the dad jokes he probably got from his own father and the three of you would laugh boisterously. So loud too, that mothers of whichever household you decided to hang out in would shush you so hard.

Siwon was the first one to collapse on your bed. He dramatically dropped, a loud thud and an –oof was heard from him. Your night out took a toll on the three of you, him especially since you and Junmyeon were younger than he is.

You called them up suddenly at nine in the evening last night. It was your Birthday eve and you guilt your way through them accepting your hasty invitation. Well, you don’t really have to do that much because they give in to whatever request or favor you ask of them anyway.

You don’t understand why they do what they do for you since they don’t always do the same to anyone not even for any of their previous girlfriends. You've seen a number of women leave their lives full of tears and eyes stained hatred only just for you.

You are young, you are beautiful and rich and you are a threat to them — all of them.

“That was really fun!”

You exclaim as you jump up on your bed, almost on top of Siwon. But he shoots a little bit over to the side to give you space. The three of you just got home (your apartment) from a wild night.

And by wild night meant dinner at your favorite steak restaurant in Gangnam. Drive around Seoul for hours, stop at a convenience store by the Han River to buy each of you two cans of cheap beer and some ice cream. Drive some more and then stop for some tteokbokki and soondae and then home. It was almost Three AM when you arrived at your pad. They decided to sleepover since their own houses were out of the way from where you guys ended up driving to.

“Yeah, let’s never do that again!”

Siwon said with fake enthusiasm. His head hits your pillows after he spoke. You lay your head on his hard chest and then he encircles his arms around your shoulders.

“But we end up doing it year after year anyway.”

Junmyeon lets out a slight laugh as you felt the bed dip and he crawls closer behind you.

“Especially on your birthday.”

Junmyeon adds, poking your back with his pointy finger before resting his forearm around your waist, you clasp your fingers with his when he did so. You can feel his hot breath slowly fanning the nape of your neck. He scoots closer to your body, him spooning you. His left arm up uses it as a pillow for his head since your pillows are all on Siwon’s side of the bed.

You started humming a melody all of a sudden, some song that played on your car radio that got stuck in your head for some reason.

You felt Siwon give the top of your head a chaste kiss when he felt you mindlessly trace shapes on his abs. You didn’t stop your actions even after you notice yourself doing so, it must be the alcohol in your system that’s giving you confidence.

You don’t do these kinds of things on normal days. Even if you still have a crush on both of them, you never act upon your feelings — ever.

Not even when they both have drunkenly confessed to finding you hot and sexy and actually wife material. Not even when you know you’re the reason why all the women they have ever dated leaves them. Not even when Junmyeon kissed you on New Year’s Day last year when you both were the only single people in that party and dismissed it as just a New Year’s kiss. Not even when Siwon suddenly lowkey getting mad when he saw you and Junmyeon eating each other’s faces on the same NY’s party and you know he was embittered (even though he was with his then girlfriend at that time, what the hell) but you didn’t disclose it with him or even Junmyeon.

“Oppa…”

You trail your words, deciding not to continue your sentence. But you still have the urge to tell him now even though it has been two years since that incident.

Siwon gave you a lazy hum as a response, rubbing your arm that he was holding in a soothing manner.

Junmyeon suddenly shifts behind you, you tighten your hold on his hand when you felt him about to let go. And he froze, even his breathing hitched with your action.

You wiggle your ass a bit, you know this is a dangerous property you’re trenching but you don’t care. And slowly, Junmyeon grew half hard with your alacrity.

Junmyeon whines your name silently, it was a very gentle squeak but you still heard it and he slightly pinched the skin of your hand he was holding but you still didn’t stop rubbing your ass on his crotch.

Siwon opened one of his eyes when the bed flits a bit and you suddenly hike up his shirt to touch and expose his hard abs. He saw your eyes were half-lidded, teeth biting your lower lip with hips swaying slowly and Junmyeon’s face struggling to keep a straight mask. But his nose was flaring and eyes almost closing as well.

“Mmm, what is this?”

You froze when you heard Siwon speak. You brave yourself to look at him and he was staring right at your face, his eyes dark and tongue pokes out to lick his lips while his eyes are dancing between your eyes and your mouth ardently.

“Are you giving Junmyeon a hard time?”

He jokes but his eyes glint with a humorless look, more of an inferno-like intensity radiates through them. It feels like your actual soul is on fire.

With his words, you stood up and position yourself on top of him. Your ass now grinding Siwon’s groin and he slams his head on your pillow harshly, you felt the puff of air on your knees from the force of his hit on the fabric.

You look to your left to see Junmyeon watching you with dark eyes as you ride his favorite hyung. You reach out and hook your pointer finger on his collar to pull him to your level and you crash your lips with him in an urgent kiss. His lips were soft and pillowy but your kiss was hard and demanding.

“Fuck—”

Siwon exclaims when he saw you making out with Junmyeon as you grind yourself on his clothed cock. He didn’t expect you to be this wild or loose enough to want a threesome. He hasn’t even seen or heard you talk about anything remotely dirty with your girlfriends, maybe you do when boys are not around, you probably do. He doesn’t know that. But right now he’s definitely green-eyed with envy, this is probably the second time Junmyeon has kissed your lips and he wanted a taste as well. And so he insistently pushes you up only to pin you back down on your own bed, you close your eyes and held your breath when you hit the softness of the duvet.

“Hyung~!”

Junmyeon whines cutely. The last thing you saw was him pouting like a petulant child before Siwon wham himself lip first on your own. You let out a high pitched whimper when your Oppa efficiently rub his already hard on in the middle of your spread legs, on top of your thinly clothed womanhood. Your tennis skirt already hiked up on your stomach, exposing you if not for him dry humping you.

“You like that, huh?”

Siwon quizzes when he finally lets go of your now swollen lips. When you only gave a hum as an answer, Siwon pauses. You whine when he breaks his movements, you look at him and he looks somewhat disappointed.

“Use your words, baby girl.”

He says in a monotone.

“Y–Yes… Daddy.”

The last part was accidental, you didn’t want to expose your kink almost too instantly. And he immediately smirks and taps Junmyeon on his chest.

“Myeon-ah, you heard that? She called me Daddy. You really called me Daddy huh, sweetheart?”

Junmyeon sticks out his tongue to wet his dry lips, he looks down at you with such lust and authority and you just wanted to surrender and let them both do whatever they pleased with your starting-to-weaken-with-desire body.

“What about me? What am I?”

Junmyeon challenges and you swallow the lump that’s already in your throat. But before you can answer, Siwon grabs you by your hair, another hand behind your back for support still careful not to hurt you in any way.

“He asked you a question and you should answer him.”

His words weren’t harsh, but still holds an edge to it and your legs shake and so does your core, quivering with furor and thrill of what’s about to come.

“Y–You… You are D–Daddy as well.”

You finally choke out a reply, ergo not straight but intelligible enough to understand and both Junmyeon and Siwon smiled satisfied with your answer.

“Of course you want two daddies. You’re not contented with just one, you have to have one more, don’t you?”

Junmyeon smirks.

“You filthy, dirty girl, come here.”

Siwon then sits back on your left side and Junmyeon follows on your right. Both men looking at you like you’re the last piece of meat on this earth, you can practically see invisible saliva dripping down the sides of their lips, like hungry predators stalking their prey.

Your breath hitches when Junmyeon suddenly pushes down your underwear and Siwon pulls up the garter of your skirt up to your underboobs.

“Look at you, you’re already soaked.”

Junmyeon lightly touches you and your wetness strings as he leisurely pulls up his fingers away from your dripping sex.

“Who made you like that?”

Siwon questions, beginning to rub his middle and ring finger on your hardened clit.

“You, Daddy Siwon.”

“And who else?”

Junmyeon counters, swiftly inserting two fingers inside of you.

You let out a scream. A scream from both surprise and ecstasy and eventually you start groaning when Junmyeon is fucking your pussy with his fingers with just the right speed.

“DADDY!!! J–Junm–yeon!”

Siwon lifts your shirt, tugs down your bra and his lips wrap around one of your extruded nipples and you instinctively lean on the touch of his hot mouth. His tongue draws out and then flicks your nipples one by one, letting out immodest sounds from his mouth. His teeth graze them next and you can’t help but shout out eagerly, enticing him to just do it once more.

“Eat her out while she sucks me?”

Junmyeon nods his head enthusiastically and swiftly positions himself below you. He rubs the insides of your thigh teasingly before lapping a straight line from the nethermost of your asshole, up to your clit with the tip of his tongue. Screaming at this point hurts your throat and the only thing you can do for now is writhe and jerk which is also an impossibility because of how strong his hold on your thighs.

“Don’t move too much, darling. If you obey, I might make you cum, do you understand?”

“Yes, please, Daddy Junmyeon! I’ll obey you and Daddy Siwon.”

Your answer was clear and steady, you swallowed the accumulated spit inside your mouth again, looking down at Junmyeon who smiled sweetly.

“Good girl.”

And then delves his face on your heat.

Siwon hovers above your chest, pulling his zipper, pants and eventually underwear down just enough to pull out his cock and it smacks you right on to the face. The both of you chuckle faintly before his face turns serious again, full of hunger for you only. He grabs the base of him and rubs his tip on your lips and you gladly open up your mouth for him, sticking out your tongue.

His eyes roll at the back of his head when you started bobbing your head, your hands holding on to his strong thighs for more traction.

“Fuck — Princess!

Siwon moans, one fist tight around your hair the other hand grabbing on to your headboard. Your scalp almost burning with how much he was pulling them as he now thrusts harder on your face. Tears are welling at the side of your eyes from suppressing your gagging as your Oppa’s cock keeps hitting the back of your throat.

You let him gag your mouth and focuses your attention back to the activity below you. Junmyeon Frenching your pussy like it was your actual lips. The sounds he was singing out as he gives your clit a few kitten licks before nibbling on them is making your skin crawl and tingle so, so good.

Letting go of one of Siwon’s thighs, you fisted Junmyeon’s hair as you feel yourself nearing the edge. You felt the vibration on your skin when he groaned so loud as you pull his hair and grind your hips to the rhythm of his movement.

Your concentration got disrupted when Siwon startlingly squeezes your jaws with his big hand and pulls his cock out of your mouth.

“I don’t want to cum like this, I wanna do it inside of you.”

He caresses your cheek, letting you breathe for a minute before pulling you up, forcing Junmyeon to stop his feast.

“Come here and sit on Oppa.”

Siwon grabs you by your waist, twirling you around to face Junmyeon before pulling you down to straddle his lap.

Junmyeon then unbuckles his belt to finally free the restraints of his jeans. But before he can completely pull down his pants with, a -come-hither- gesture, you motioned for him to come closer to you, in which he did. Junmyeon bends on his waist and you connect lips as you both met halfway. His chin was still damp of your juices and you love how you can taste yourself on his tongue.

Siwon rubs his cock to coat him with your wetness before pushing inside of you. He moans lewdly because you are so tight and so warm and everything he has ever imagined you of being. He has always been mindful not to make you uncomfortable in any way or situation, hiding his feelings because he thought you only see him as your Oppa. But look at the both of you now doing all the things he only dreamed about with the addition of Junmyeon.

Junmyeon stood up again and returns to removing his pants as you pause for a bit, adjusting to the stretch Siwon introduced. You kept eye contact with the man in front of you as he stroke himself to prepare him for your mouth.

“You’re so beautiful like that.”

Junmyeon sighs, admiring your position below him. As gratitude for his words, you take his cock with your left hand gave his tip a gentle kiss that makes him bit his lower lip hard. You then lick your right palm to smears your saliva on his tip, mixing in with his precum as you start to bounce on Siwon’s lap. Both men made noises that sounded pornographic and delicious in your ears. Without wasting any more time, you take Junmyeon full, laxing and curling your tongue around his girth so he can easily slide inside your mouth.

The three of you kept the harmony for a few more minutes, you and Siwon were the first to reach your climax with Junmyeon following just a bit after.

You swallowed Junmyeon’s mess after he pulls out, swiping your thumb on the side of your lips to lick what’s left of his cum. Siwon wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you down next to him to spoon you, with him still inside of you. You can hear and feel his breath relaxing on your skin and soft snores eventuate moments later, indicating sleep has finally found him.

Junmyeon cuddles right in after he cleaned himself. His right arm wrapped protectively around your shoulder, your head eased on his chest.

“What happens next?”

You sleepily murmur your worry, Junmyeon caressing your hair and gives your lips a tender kiss before responding.

“Shh, let’s talk about it tomorrow, okay?”

He consoled you.

“Promise?”

“I promise.”

“I love you both.”

You manage to whisper before slipping to a night of deep sleep.

“We love you too.”

. . .

Breaking my hiatus for a holy week nastiness. 😭😭😭😂😂😂

Plantser, Song bird, and Chronological, for the type of writer ask!

@ravesthewriter. this got a lot longer than i meant for it to lol.

Plantser : What is the first thing you do when you start working on a new WIP?

it depends. sometimes i’ll jot a few lines for an outline, sometimes i make a playlist to get the feel of it, or i’ll just jump in and start writing whatever scenes i’ve been imagining.

Song bird : If you could pick three songs to capture the feel of your WIP, what would they be and why?

i’m gonna do it for the summer fic bc i already answered for paper heart.

unstable cliffs

🌊 blame me! blame me! - anberlin: so @plaguecraft recced me this song back when it was still an au and it was literally perfect. carter’s state of mind at the beginning of the summer fic is Not Great and all of the same problems he’s had with his mental health and his past relationships comes to a head with violet/matteo. they have a fight, violet/matteo decide to leave for salvation, and carter is alone again. he’s so angry, both at them and himself. but he’s also so numb and bored, he’d give anything to feel something that isn’t being depressed. so he goes back to being self-destructive. it’s not enough anymore.

🌊 where gravity is dead - laura veirs: this song works really well for joe and carter’s povs about each other. they really want to connect with the other, but they’re both sort of distant? after everything that’s happened in their lives. so they’re slowly rebuilding the friendship they had pre-fire and also building even beyond that now that they’re able to do so without the threat of danger.

then the romantic feelings start developing and they’re so at sea (lol pun). everything feels so out of reach and they’re so alone and they love each other so much. like “i don’t need you but i love you and i want to be your partner in crime. if you’ll have me. but first we have to meet in the middle.”

🌊 set the fire to the third bar - snow patrol, martha wainwright: i randomly found this on some playlist, no idea which one, and like idk i just immediately fell in love with it. it’s about a couple in a long distance relationship wanting to be reunited again.

The song title describes an electric heater. While writing in the freezing cold and wearing fingerless gloves Lightbody recalled that as a child his Aunt Jean had an electric heater, and "if we were very good and it was very cold, she'd let us put all three bars on" and he goes on to say how it represents "a beacon of warmth within a song about distance".

The song is about a long distance relationship and its lyrics talk of a couple involved in one: ("I'm miles from where you are") and their longing to be together again ("I pray that something picks me up/ And sets me down in your warm arms"). After their long journey to meet each ("After I have travelled so far") they would settle down in front of an electric bar fire ("We'd set the fire to the third bar") and enjoy being together and warm.

(from the wiki entry)

and like i know it’s partly about wanting to bridge a physical distance, but i thought it was kind of perfect for being a metaphor about emotional distance as well? it’s joe/carter seeing all the emotional obstacles and reaching out for each other anyway.

I find the map and draw a straight lineOver rivers, farms, and state linesThe distance from 'A' to where you'd beIt's only finger-lengths that I seeI touch the place where I'd find your faceMy fingers in creases of distant dark places

I'm miles from where you are,I lay down on the cold groundI, I pray that something picks me upAnd sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so farWe'd set the fire to the third barWe'd share each other like an islandUntil exhausted, close our eyelidsAnd dreaming, pick up fromThe last place we left offYour soft skin is weepingA joy you can't keep in

no man’s an island

🌴 go your own way - fleetwood mac: one of the core problems of carter/matteo is they love each other but they don’t understand each other. they can’t really understand each other. and it’s sort of the same thing with violet/carter as well. both violet and matteo ultimately want normal lives, they want to start a family, live in a small community, and carter...doesn’t.

also every time i hear the ending guitar solo i just picture a camera panning around someone’s face while their life falls down around them lol.

Loving youIsn't the right thing to doHow can I ever change things that I feel?If I couldBaby I'd give you my worldHow can IWhen you won't take it from me?

Tell me whyEverything turned aroundPacking upShacking up's all you wanna do

If I couldBaby I'd give you my worldOpen upEverything's waiting for you

🌴 ghost of you and me - bbmak: the first time i heard this song was on some amv when i was a kid, and i’ve been determined to write something to it ever since. i just really like the heartbreak of it and the sea imagery and the image of a candle flickering out. god it’s beautiful. this song and she says by howie day were the inspo behind that one alec/matteo scene where alec puts all the candles to be Romantic for matteo.

🌴 silver springs - fleetwood mac: uuughh the heartbreak, the betrayal! i love this song. i just love the thought of violet being kind of resigned by the breakup (bc she expects it), but matteo being angry and kind of bitter about it. (and later, much later he and one of the gorls accidentally run into joe/carter at the grocery store while they’re visiting bella, nina, and the rose fam. drama ensues).

Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget meI know I could have loved you, but you would not let meI'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt youYou'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves youI'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you(was I such a fool?)You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you(was I such a fool?)

Chronological : Have you ever gotten stuck with a scene? If you have, how do you power through and finish?

a lot of the time i have a vague outline in my head i follow for how i want things to progress and i just try to follow that outline i guess? but that’s not really good in the long run lol. there’ll be some scenes where i just can’t get it right and i’ll try to power through to write it, but there’s just something not working. so i’ll try to keep writing it in my slush doc until it looks okay-ish, or i’ll sigh and admit defeat for a while and leave it there for a while until i can figure out what it needs.

big spoon/little spoon? Emily is the big spoon because Hope can’t sleep without feeling Emily’s heartbeat

sleeping habits? Hope is a light sleeper and is prone to night terrors if Emily isn’t there to hold her. Emily has night terrors too, but as long as they sleep together they are fine.

what do they do when they’re away from each other? Hope will usually just relax and stuff like that, Emily will usually read a book or take a walk alone. But with a kid, if they have them then they focus on that.

do they have nicknames or pet names for each other? Emily does call Hope “my sun and stars”, Hope calls her “my moon and ocean”

how do they refer to the other in public? how do other people refer to the other? (i.e. “my partner”, “ask your father”, “dad and papa”, “how’s your wife?“, etc) They call each other “my wife”. And to their kid, Emily is “mommy” and Hope is “mummy”

how do they spend Christmas and new year’s (or equivalent family gatherings)? They spend it with their family, which in this case is all their friends; like Sharky, Samantha, River, Marie, all the people they’ve grown to love in Hope County.

who cusses more? Hope, not that Emily doesn’t cuss a lot already.

what would they do if the other one was hurt? um, all Hell would break loose on those who harmed them

what are little gestures they do for each other? They pick small flowers they find randomly for each other. Emily will carry Hope to bed if she happens to fall asleep on the couch. Hope will

do they know how the other takes their coffee/tea? Yep, Emily likes really light coffee; so a lot of cream and sugar. Hope takes two sugars and some milk in her tea.

do they feel they see each other enough, or do they have activities that take too much of their time? They spent as much time as they could with each other before things went to shit. Now they spend basically every waking moment together.

do they friend/follow each other on facebook/tumblr/livejournal/skype/etc? Nope.

(added) morning routine? Emily does the normal routine; wakes up, takes a hot shower, dries her hair and then gets ready. She doesn’t like to wear makeup. Hope does the same thing basically, but her showers are lukewarm, which Emily hates.

how do they make up after a fight? One will usually apologize first and try to make things right but doing little things for the other. Like getting them a drink, food, a little gift. stuff like that

Spilling the tea.

So this is the story. It sucks and I want to heal, no matter how long it takes me to talk about it. This is honestly brief, even if it seems like it is not. But there is a year of shit to consider.

Jamie was off work for a few months, in between contracts. We were already having problems living at my MIL's, with everything. Jamie was hanging out with his brother. Doing whatever. But the stuff started going. OUR stuff. PJ was pawning it, and we were broke. I was trying to preserve any funds and told him we don't need to get rid of anything as long as we are smart with our spending.

The stuff kept going. Mostly secretly. My guitar, my xbox, along with all of his stuff worth anything. It was heartbreaking to feel no control over these things. He was spending more time up at night and out wherever. We were fighting more, and I turned to his mom for someone on my side. This made things worse. Money and things were disappearing and he was often angry, sometimes like a flick of a switch.

That was January through to Mayish. He started working again with a new contract in his company. Things weren't amazing but they were okay.

*We got that red car in March by the way, my Grandparents gave it to us and offered it for a fraction of the cost of what they could sell it for. I was so grateful and this was right before things got bad.*

August, Jamie was home a bit. I was still wary and cranky about the shit year we had been going through with the fighting and the issues with my/our stuff disappearing to the pawn shop and never seeing any money.

August 4th Jamie had a bonfire, I drove to get him munchies because he had been drinking. When I got back, I was tired and it was 10:30. River was already in bed and I went up to join him. Fell asleep. Woken up at 3am by Jamie's cousin.

"Jamie is in jail." Was the first thing he said.

Not true, he was in the back of a police car. He crashed the car. On the phone he apologized and I was livid.

After that is a world of frustration. He didn't seem sorry and got mad at me every time I brought it up or cried over it. He only got charged with reckless driving, thank god. But it took two months of the police holding our vehicle, $2000 in impound fees, $520 in rental fees, and a world of guilt and defeat in the wake of his shitty decision. I just felt helpless, like it couldn't get worse. My jobs and school and River's childcare depends on me having a vehicle. I was stressed to the max.

Edit: The vehicle ended up being totaled, so the guilt came from my Grandparents doing a wonderful thing for us and feeling like this was such a slap in the face to them. It was also heartbreaking because we had that car for a few months and I loved it dearly, like detailed cleaning every two weeks or so lol.

We moved, he was at work so I did it with MIL's help and set up the house. Things seemed good again. But Jamie still randomly snaps at me, his bank account is often empty, and I just feel disconnected in general. Hurt.

Out of the blue he said he's moving out and I got really scared because shouldn't I be the one who is hurt and done? But I'm not. I love him.

So that was a huge thing. He has said this before and says a lot of things (then everything is normal in the morning), but this seemed serious. I couldn't focus, didn't know how to feel. Started panicking about all the things that are in my name that I could not afford if he left. Panicking about everything.

Last night he got a $600 speeding ticket. Who knows how many demerit points this is adding up to with the accident. I am at a loss. I don't understand why these things are happening. Why I have to fight so hard to keep us a normal, happy family. Why is he so back and forth? Not to mention it is immensely difficult to run my business, my photography, school, and my job properly with these things happening.

I can only be strong for so long. I'm exhausted.

Side note: Things seem normal again. It's been two days since he declared I'm the worst person and he can't put up with my "shit" anymore (???). I guess I'm not the worst anymore as of today. 😓

5.14 - day before momma leaves

Goddamnit I hate to admit it but I’m already thinking and crying like a baby in my head once my mom leaves me to go back home to sf. the feeling is mutual like melissa said cause she’ll probably be just as a wreck and all this time I’ve been spending with her, I’m cherishing even more. I’ve never felt like this and Victoria said the same thing; expecting that while I transition. But everyone needs to experience this. I DO, especially. I need the time away for a bit to miss them and I already miss those interactions with my brothers too of just lounging in the living room watching NBA games all night, or youtube videos like its judyslife or ustheduo.

Our lives have changed already and itll be so hard as I am bawling my eyes out, sitting in my newly mounted dining table my mom and I put together, facing outwards my window with the Chicago sun, beaming through at a whopping 54 degrees.

This is my life now, I will be on my own and making decisions on my own. Ive told a few folks that I’m sad yet annoyed my moms time here was a bit much. But I know it was perfect for what it is. We’ve been tired each and everytime, her actions speak volumes and our conversations arent as deep as I want, but I know this quality time was one that will impact my life forever. Even though I hate to admit it or will say this to her face. i love my mom. so much, she means so much to me and my brothers. The amount of things she does unselfishly aka drive my freaking car with just her and hector for 5 days cross country. do what she did to make me help settle, there is no one like her. and I will forever appreciate her and love her.

She is opinionated and still felt like I couldnt decide for myself but this will be also a time where I speak up and use my voice. Saying NO.

ugh the tears keep falling down but some highlights from this past week were:

- Silly vlog videos that I actually may put together when I get the time

- 5/6; arrived - went to container store to buy my elfa shelving for my closet. Super nice lady that worked there Hector spoke to. Went to world market to check out their furniture and standing mirrors. TJ Maxx/HomeGoods and picked up some bathroom essentials, shower curtain, mats and beddings, Facetimed Yan/Ronz/Brent+Rick at night (10pm CST)

Mom stayed with Hector at Courtyard Marriot til Saturday 5/8. So I wanted to stay at the apartment for the first time alone and enjoy the moment and soak it all in. Parking at my garage alone, randomly waking up to the SUNRISE at 545am and just being in awe of my new city... I could just cry

Didn’t get my wifi set up yet so the struggle was real a bit. The air mattress we got from costco has been tough to sleep on but eventually Ill get my mattress. Just have been torn with my furniture not being here since everything was rushed and happened so quickly. Learnings from the move thus far:

-Write a damn list, I DID NOT. Aka thats why a bunch of junk and unnecessary things were with my mom and hector in the car. All couldve been bought here. I ocouldve taken more clothes and shoes

-Alot of my clothes aka my favorite jean jacket and pink/mauve henley was left at home. My running shoes - I decided not to prioritize idk fucking why *rolls eyes* and alot of my other valuables. Brendan is nice enough to ship it. Its not worth to buy a RT flight and go there and take it all back with me... no. :( I would though tbh if I was in LA. lol make couple trips but I’m far enough that its like.... whewww is it worth but one day I will come back and visit. For now, its slated for Oct

5/7 Friday; I had it off started the day late at 12pm and booked my mom, hector and myself tickets to the skydeck. my mom was HILARIOUS, she was scared at first and thought it would be a huge platform to see under but once she saw its just a small piece of glass over 105 floors, it wasnt THAT bad. Her and hector are hilarious together and annoying a little LOL. but I guess they’re cute

Went to Wrigley Field while there was a game and that was an experience. Fans at the top of their houses, Security all over the block, streets closed, fans everywhere. Its such a historical building in the middle of a freaking neighborhood so it made itself unique vs att/oracle park being so secluded down in mission bay.

RPM Steak for dinner in River North. Valet’d the car and Hector treated us to a Missouri Steak? it was bomb though but I wanted Medium and he wanted medium rare... cream of spinach, mac and cheese, asparagus and for dessert topped with a Baked Alaskan. Whatever that is. (It was good) and my first time trying it.. me and mom. Our waitor was a nice lady in her 30s, gave me tori kelly vibes. Then another worker stopped by our table who looked filipino for sure (Rox’s ex Dennis look a like) but I already for got his name. He told us how he lived in West Town too and would eat at this bomb restaurant called “Uncle Mikes” maybe the ‘superstar’ of chicago :) hectors jokes were a bit much saying climbing up the coconut tree and asking if he can make halo halo in the back for dessert. No sir....

5/8 Saturday; Plan was to visit Macys downtown to check out furniture at around 930am. But they werent open til 11am. We checked out the Bean at Millenium Park and my mom got to see all the tulips and flowers. We waited in line for a while at Stans Donuts since Wildberry was just too WILD and packed, so we walked a block down and had ourselves some coffee and donuts for the day. After we headed to Macys and were greeted by a tall man name Hilary. he’s THEEE BEST. he knew we didnt have to buy anything from him at macys but he’s such a sales guy and has been in this business for so long that he kept tlaking about Quality of furniture and making yourself feel comfy and at home. Being in a small apt, or living out alone for the first time, separating each section once winter hits so you’re not bored out of your mind in the small place. He was so friendly and nice, I took his business card. Went to Ashley’s on the way to the airport and got gas. Feel in love with the small dinette table they had but the one I’m sitting on now I feel like is just perfect. Soletren couch will forever be out of stock and I will never let this go :( honestly dont know how itll fit in my door but i guess i will settle for something reasonable and decent in size

IVE BEEN SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY. . . . . . . I cant even. I got paid today so todays check will be sponsoring all of my credit card funds. Gna just pay it off in full so I dont have to deal with it. But going forward a budget will be set. and luckily some of the things I bought work can reimburse so I’ll do expenses sunday perhaps.

Saturday evening after dropping off hector, we did errands in the suburbs and went to a walmart. a bit ghetto lookin but its fine. Decided to go to costco after but had an incidentn with this white man who bumped my car and didnt apologize. I was going to say something but we’re so far out in the suburbs Idk what the hell he wouldve done to me. And if they’re racist out there. took the long way home and it was prob not through the safest neighbor hoods but my mom didnt have to know since traffic on the freeway was just ALOT. omg and the roads are just so bumpy, my poor car. Becca said she has a guy at a shop her family always goes to so hopefuully I wont need him but just nice to know the option is there.

Went to the costco up by roscoe village and bought food and more essentials like medicine i have a whole pharmacy. again throughout all this, my mom is the MVP. I wouldve been like, Ill go get it when I need it vs mom stocking up beforehand. We ended up setting my living room with a japanese style seating using my elfa shelving as the table and a towel over it. Leftovers from RPM for dinner and ribs/salad from costco. (I keep eating, and we’re not walking alot so....... I’m def gaining wait and will need to lose this asap)

I’ll be back more to cover this past week; mothers day, ikea, seafood city, hanging with becca, azul mariscos, drunk at ross and dollar tree, pants falling (mom) unbuttoned pants cuz we’re so ‘stuffffffed’ hanging with the boys via facetime cause I do miss them :( I need to havea schedule with them.

kk toodles. time to go back to work. no more crying (maybe) then an architecture tour with my mom <3 and dinner at a steakhouse at MJ’s on Michigan Ave BYeeeee

You should also do some vampire shit with 30 >:D You can pick the pairing lol

you btchi, you come into my inbox with what you know is a particular interest of mine and you do this to me. (thank you for that i often have to be pestered to do things) im expanding on the story that ive done before so heres the link to those if you care.

Me: alright, time for backstory

My brain: *whispering* vampire coffee shop

Papyrus sighed as he laid his head on the armrest of the sofa, linking his fingers over his chest as he stared at the high-arched ceiling. Moonlight occasionally filled the room with its cool, off-white glow when the clouds cleared enough, but aside from that it was dark, the room filled with deep shadows and night. He flicked his gaze over to the corner of the room, staring in the general direction of the ornate grandfather clock until the next series of clouds passed, showing him the time. Only midnight. Sa- Red wouldn’t be home until much later. Or earlier, considering how one looked at it.

He closed his eyes, humming quietly before he sat up, looking around the dark room. His brother had been out more ever since their father died, taking up the family torch in the name of protecting the city. Though Papyrus knew it had far less to do with the city and more to do with revenge.

Red wasn’t nearly so selfless.

He pushed himself from the couch, walking around to the back of the sofa with a bored sigh. Pausing for a moment, he drummed his fingers against the backrest in thought, glancing up at the clock despite his inability to see it. It would be hours before Red got back, and unless he was keen on wasting his time browsing the internet or moving ahead in his online classes, there wasn’t much he could do beside sleep.

With a nod to himself at his reasoning, he stepped away from the couch, making his way to the front door and slipping on his boots. He grabbed his scarf, wrapping it around his neck as he stepped out the door, letting the door click shut behind him. The night air was quiet, a faint breeze occasionally growing stronger, making the trees whisper with the brush of leaves against one another as he moved down their front walk, glancing around the area before he started down the walk.

A walk would clear his head and kill time until Red returned. Besides, there was something he had always liked about the town at night, especially as the expensive neighbourhood blended into shops lining every corner and ornate street lights decorating the way. He rolled his head on his neck as he looked at the lampposts, taking the path that led its way to the river the fastest. His pace slowed as he walked past a warmly lit window, the warm scent of coffee filling the chilled air catching his attention. It was surprisingly busy for midnight. Almost suspiciously so. Then again, most of the individuals in the shop seemed similar in age to himself, and it was only a week before finals at his college. He wouldn’t be surprised if the shop was open for the more extreme studiers, especially if there were this many.

He walked up to the register, the few eyes that had moved his way when he came in taking their weight from him back, making him relax further. A blue bunny monster came up to the counter, beaming at him. Surprising for someone working a midnight shift. “Welcome to The Creme! Can I get you a coffee?”

Papyrus looked over the menu in thought before deciding to get something simple. “Just a small black coffee will do. Dark roast.”

The bunny- his name tag said his name was “Nice Guy,” but that was likely a workplace joke- took his money with a smile as he rung him up. A snicker from behind him made him turn to see another skeleton, hands slung in a stained, orange hoodie as he stared at him with a grin. “You come to the coffee shop in the city that’s renowned for its different choices in coffee, and you just get a regular black coffee?”

“Dark roast!” The bunny piped up, placing the beans in the grinder.

The new skeleton lifted both his hands up in surrender, an easygoing grin on his face. “Right, right, dark roast, my bad.”

Papyrus scowled, glaring at the other. “Do I know you?”

“Unless you know something I don’t.”

He stared at him for a few moments before he turned back to the counter. The downside of walking around at midnight, he supposed. Who knew that strange people would randomly come up to him?

“The name’s Rus.”

He glanced back over to see that the other hadn’t left like he had previously thought, face still holding a lazy smirk as his right hand was held in his general direction. Papyrus glanced down at his hand before looking away once more. “You insist on still talking to me because…?”

Rus didn’t seemed bothered by his dismissal, putting his hand back into his pocket with a grin. “Don’t flatter yourself, edgelord. I’m waiting in line for coffee, same as you.”

He glared at him, not saying anything in return as the bunny handed him his coffee with a smile, taking Rus’s order. Papyrus left a few coins in the tip jar on the counter as he moved back towards the door, stepping out into the night. It was a relief when he finally moved out of sight of the window, Papyrus sighing into the night air as he took a sip of his coffee. It was strong and bitter, the way that he liked it, and he hummed as he took another drink. It was actually very good.

He looked up at the sliver of moon visible from behind the clouds, taking another sip of coffee. He nearly screamed and spat it out at the voice that sounded behind him. “You know, I never got your name.”

He whirled on his feet, dropping his coffee as he brought both of his hands up in a defensive position. “Are you fucking following me?!”

Rus shrugged, taking a sip of what looked like iced coffee through a straw. He offered the drink out instead of responding. “Wanna try? Milk and honey iced coffee. Probably better than yours, considering it’s on the ground right now.” Papyrus growled, the sound reverberating in his chest. Rus gave an exaggerated roll of his eyes, taking another sip. “Relax, I was just walking down the same way. No need to get all touchy on me.”

Papyrus glanced around the area, checking for escapes and taking note of all the different paths before he straightened, body still tense. Rus hummed, looking down at the discarded coffee that was still steaming up from the pavement, taking another drink. “Well, shit. I feel bad now for making you drop your shitty coffee. C’mon, I’ll buy you a new one.”

With that he turned on his heel, walking unhurriedly back in the direction of the coffee shop. Papyrus watched him, still tense. There was no way in hell he trusted the other for a second. He checked his watch using the streetlight, seeing that it was only one in the morning. There were still about four hours to kill. And it was a really good coffee.

With a sigh, knowing that he would regret his actions, Papyrus followed after, moving his hand to the small knife he kept tucked just inside of his belt as he entered the shop to see Rus standing at the counter, the bunny behind already working on another cup. The worker smiled as he handed him his second cup of coffee, grabbing a rag from beside the register soon after and wiping down the counters. Papyrus glanced up to see Rus shambling towards a small table in the corner, glancing over his shoulder and waving him over.

Part of him was cursing himself for not just going home, coffee be damned, but the other part was well aware that it was coffee or walking along the riverside alone by all the druggies. He honestly wasn’t sure which was more appealing, but he moved over to the table regardless, keeping a hold on his coffee and watching the other suspiciously.

“So,” Rus started, stirring his drink with the plastic straw, “what are you doing out so late?”

“I could ask you the same.”

Rus shrugged, taking another drink. “Unhealthy sleeping habits.”

Papyrus stared at him before taking a sip of his own coffee, just as delicious as the first time. “My brother works late. I usually stay up and wait for him.”

“What does your bro do?”

Papyrus frowned. “None of your fucking business.”

Rus snickered, murmuring an “Ouch, edgy” before leaning back in his chair, drink set on the table. He pulled a small knot of string from his pocket, deftly untying it and beginning to work it into different shapes. “Y’know, I still don’t know your name.”

Papyrus didn’t answer him, though Rus seemed to be expecting this, face not shifting from a casual grin. Another customer walked up to the opposite end of the counter, the human speaking a few words to the bunny, who nodded with the same grin, moving back to prepare their coffee. He reached into a fridge, grabbing a bottle of something that looked suspiciously familiar, adding a bit to the cup before moving to add other ingredients. Papyrus narrowed his gaze on the bottle before his eyes widened.

“Is… is that blood?”

Rus’s fiddling with the string stopped for a moment before it started up again, and Papyrus turned to look at him in something like horror. Then the other snorted. “Blood? Really? It’s chocolate syrup, edgelord. Though, I doubt someone as bitter as you would know what something sweet like chocolate is.”

He glared at the other, opening his mouth to retort, when his phone went off. A quick check showed it was Red and he swore, answering the call. “Hello?”

“Bro, where hell are ya?”

He cursed internally this time, swallowing and looking off to the side. “Out.”

The growl from the other end of the phone made him bristle. “Yea, well, get th’ fuck back ‘ere. Ya know how I feel ‘bout you goin’ out at night.”

He grumbled, but agreed, pushing back from the table and swiping his coffee as he hung up the phone. Rus snickered. “Aww, someone’s in trouble.”

He flipped the other off, starting to walk away when Rus continued. “Feel free to come back anytime, yea?” He placed his chin on his hand, batting his eyes. “I’ll get all lonely here without you to keep me company, edgelord.”

“Papyrus.” Internally he was screaming at his fucking idiotic decision to tell his name, but he was really getting tired of being referred to as edgelord.

“Papyrus, huh?” He nodded, making a face of disgust as Rus winked. “Hopefully I’ll be wearing it out here in the future.”

He didn’t grace the comment with a response, leaving without another word as he started his walk home, throwing the empty cup in a trash can as he passed. The coffee was delicious, though.

He would have to come back again sometime soon.

(Armed Girls Machiavellism 1)

I was doubtful about this one because I could never get what was so offputting about it. Maybe I’ll figure it out while I watch.

…bear?

I bet he’s just a hand to hand brawler, that Nomura.

I appreciate the correct English, but “WARNING! Knock out 40+” sounds like a bunch of dot points…or a really bad brand of sunscreen, LOL.

Okay, I know anime has weird names, but “Kirukiru Amo” is a whole ‘nother level of weird. Then again, there’s weirder names out there (like Zolbe from Saiki Kusuo, but he seems to be a bit of a stereotype).

Hey wait, I thought I’d heard of Tenkai Goken (Great Five Swords) before, and it turns out I have! Touken Ranbu’s Juzumaru is one, so is Mikazuki and so is Oodenta (TR’s Oodenta is drawn by the same guy who did character designs for Kiznaiver, to boot)!

You gotta admit the colours in this really pop in a modern sort of way, unlike the somewhat plain Sagrada Reset.

See? Fudo really is a hand to hand brawler! (Then again, I knew that from the ANN stuff, LOL. Sorry I didn’t warn you about that.)

I half expect the pink stuff to be either transformation goo or makeup applying goo.

When I scoped out the show, the first impression shot that put me off was this one (the one just after the OP). Then again, I was intrigued by how empowering it was for the girls the first time I saw it, and I was put off by it the second time (because I scoped it out twice by looking at the manga website). I think it was Fudo’s face that did it for me, which is a bad sign going forward.

Isn’t it “co-educational”, rather than “co-existence”? Or is that just a very bad pun on the show’s part? Update: It is a bad pun, one on the word kyousei (correct/coexist, different kanji for each).

This is what definitely makes it offputting – the ecchi part. I really shouldn’t have wanted to watch this show, eh?

Nipple wrestling is a thing?! (wut.)

Take out the leg she’s standing on. Then again, if you went for that leg, she’d kick you with her other one…eh, I’m not good at strategy, y’know?

I know this is a battle anime, but since it’s a school anime too, shouldn’t Fudo get that thing disinfected?

Seriously, this show can never decide if it’s one or two parts of Rin’s mask they need on her face at one given time. On that note, I don’t think I’m coming back to this show. While it’s middle-of-the-road in some ways, it’s downright disturbing in others, including the bear.

(Love Tyrant 1)

I can’t remember why I picked some of these up…I was wandering around ANN a lot since I had a bunch of things due before the spring season started…

Well, that’s new. A show that made me cringe before anything really happened.

Wow. Blatant parody much.

I’m with Seiji re: Guri. The “wait a minute” though? Do they have that on all TV stations in Japan? Plus, ANN says Guri’s a fujoshi…which is vaguely disturbing when she randomly picks the PM and House Speaker…at least pick someone who’ll cause less impact on the world at large and not play that for comedy!!!

Okay…ooooooookkkkkkkkkkayyyyyyyyyyyyyy…not only Gainaxing, but fanservice galore…I think I learnt my lesson from Armed Girls. I’m getting out of here.

(Warau Salesman New 1)

Why do I have this on my list? ANN says it does its job competently, and while I’m not completely a sucker for monkey’s paw stories, seeing another 60s manga revived as an anime…is one odd choice after another for the industry, so hey, why not. Plus it was made by one of the Fujios, which makes it somewhat culturally relevant.

The artstyle might seem outdated, but it’s living up to its premise – there seems to be an uneasy feeling laced throughout the show.

Comic Sans, get out.

Hyper realistic artwork in an anime like this is always a “should that even be there????” factor. It works in the show’s favour though.

I think the intro is fine once per episode or at the start of each episode if the episode is about 5 – 10 minutes long. For a full length, you want to go ???? (in a bad way) at it. It’s different animation, sure, but it’s the same intro text, and that’s bad.

LOL, she looks like Fujiko Mine now. It must be no coinicidence, since it comes from the Lupin III era.

This is strangely well produced for an anime of a time gone by, but it reminds me of a show that creeped me out, updated, mature and Japan-ified. (For reference, this is the show I got creeped out by – Death By Chocolate, which is the one where a girl eats chocolate with a bug egg in it and turns into a bug herself …ugh.) So I’m gonna drop it. (As another reference, I wrote a transformation story – do you remember Melting Chocolate, back in the day? – that may have taken its inspiration from Death by Chocolate.)

(Alice to Zouroku 1)

Apparently the sci-fi part of this is good, so I hope it can live up to expectations.

Alright, I admit I completely forgot this was a double-length first ep. SGRS managed to pull it off (and in a sense, so did Kado), but anything that squanders its chances with such an opportunity is a waste in most senses of the word.

Oh great, this looks like Denpa Kyoushi. Not a good sign.

…giant arms?

Okay, whose idea was it to turn all the cars into CG blocks? It works on just one car or a bunch of cars, but if you do it on the waffle thing (that’s on the side of the road) too, it starts to look clunky.

Faim Mart (sic), LOL. Obviously Family Mart.

Does this count as breaking and entering…?

The more I look at these CGI cars, the more I’m led to believe this is some Very Bad Anime, but the chase scene is actually thrilling to a small degree, so it’s obviously not.

I like this old man already. Meanwhile, I still don’t like Very Bad CGI.

Asahi and Yonaga (yo can mean “night” while asa can mean “day”), LOL.

Kensaku means “search” (as in, kensaku no engin is “search engine”).

Zoroku is the one element that makes this stand out. I mean, I laughed way too hard at him pushing the girl (Sana, right?) down.

It’s this season’s ACCA, LOL.

Okay, that’s a breach of privacy I don’t like. However, unless you’re a psychic, you can’t follow that example…

Xiaochi means “snack” in Chinese.

“I hate crooked stuff.” - So then why’d you work with the yakuza, Zoroku?

The flowers look real! Is that the true power of CG? (Actually, I take that back. Kado’s cube is better than that.)

Phlox. Doesn’t quite look like what its animated version looks like.

Alice to Zoroku has potential, but almost non-existent themes, no real sense of suspense in its action scene and horridly bad CGI. The only real good point is Zoroku, so I’m going to drop it.

Update: I watched this in bits and pieces because I had my mind on other things, but apparently there’s dust on Sanae’s stuff and Zoroku said Sanae was on a school trip? This is one of the times I’ll have to disagree with whoever said that, because I do not recall that one speck.

(Twin Angel Break 1)

I apologise in advance for if I call this Twin Angels Break instead of Twin Angel Break, because there seems to be no particular set name this show is called in that regard. Plus, you already know I’m a fan of magical girls – last time there was a show that could have gone into circulation (Nurse Witch Komugi-chan R), it didn’t make it but considering how brutal I am with my decisions for simulcast commentary these days, this one might just make it! Update: There were actually a few shows after Komugi that could’ve made it, with Flip Flappers notably making it but Magical Girl Raising Project not making it. It’s just that I consider Flip Flappers an Alice in Wonderland show more than a magical girl one.

This is…pretty obviously a commercial…maybe I should take my excitement back…

The only sister school scheme I know that requires grades requires average grades, so I guess I can’t really talk (since I’ve never been on exchange anyway…?).

LOL, selfies. Thought they’d gone out of style at least a half year ago. Even dabbing’s more recent than selfies…

I can feel the yuri…

I feel Yuki’s reveal as a crossdresser was unnecessary.

Those “women” are from a series I was going to watch (Twin Angel Twinkle Paradise). Dangit spoilers – stealth sequels hurt the self-esteem if you don’t remember they’re coming. (I was aware this was a stealth sequel from ANN, but then I forgot about it because I’ve been churning out about 4 premiere entries a day…)

4 cups?! I couldn’t eat that much if I tried! I can almost finish a whole bag of chips on my own though (not the oven-baked, potato-mush-in-middle sort, the other sort).

Shamisenist? Is that a thing? However, this guy’s so camp, it’s hilarious.

Zundar, is that you? LOL, jks.

Why does this hedgehog have non-kawaii eyes? (LOL.)

Gratuitous shaking of the butt means it’s one for the yuri crowd…no wonder it’s a pachinko ad…

Wait, so Miruku is a girl?!

“What is the Tamagawa River?” - I ask the same question Meguru did, John.

How could you not tell, Meguru?! It’s kinda obvious, right? I love magical girls, but this is the sin of all magical girl shows, built into the format.

Welp, it seems like this one gets an OK from me. It’s not particularly groundbreaking, but the flail and naginata bit seems promising. However, the thing about magical girl shows is that they often don’t fare well under the simulcast commentary format so it may not stay on forever.

(Tsukigakirei 1)

Apparently this is decent…but if it’s only decent, I may just shove it aside…Update: Promo material says male protag likes Osamu Dazai, and after Bungou, danggggggg I’m thirsty for more Dazai, LOL.

Already I cringe at the bad CGI…

There was live action in the OP of Kado but this one seems even more out of place with it.

There’s that one guy with pink hair who wouldn’t look out of place in a different anime, but here he stands out since I already know how uptight Japanese schools can be with their rules (it’s a common topic during Japanese study, y’know?).

It says dai dai dai boshuu (basically, they’re trying reallllllll hard to get people to join through words alone) but the bottom line on the bo seems to be a little too long. There’s also the fact someone accidentally wrote “dog” instead of one of the dais, since “dog” and “big” (in this case big = dai) are only one stroke’s difference, but that extra stroke was rubbed out. Either way, there is an error in the recruitment statement, so the typo reflects that…I listened to it again, and the “dog” thing was indeed the case.

Thank you Dazai for such sage advice in describing teenage romance. (semi-sarcastic)

Okay, who describes water as tasty? Unless you’ve flavoured your water, I just don’t see why. Water is flavourless, y’know?

I live close to a shopping centre, so I see people I know working there sometimes and it’s awkward in that sort of way - Tsukigakirei just captured that feeling perfectly.

I left the volume on after checking the dog joke and gosh, that piano music is gorgeous. I’d love to hear this show’s OST when I can.

People in Western countries use Facebook these days, but it’s the same gig, right?

Watching that hand in the corner working that phone…it’s an odd angle.

Taiko no Tetsujin is a play on Taiko no Tatsujin. That’s where the lil’ drum in Osu comes from, and heck, it’s real similar to Osu.

I never quite understood that thing where girls have to go to the bathroom together…maybe it’s because I was raised to be independent? Or because I’m antisocial? Or even both? I get it if they want to chat, but otherwise nope.

I consulted Aozora Bunko, and apparently that line exists in that story.

Yudemen.

The only real supergroups I know are Swedish House Mafia (kinda sorta, they were only real big stars after SHM took off) and Apparatjik (because Coldplay).

“You should read all kinds of books,” LOL.

There was one background with one door and light streaming in that was so lifelike…that took my breath away…

So, despite its awkwardness, this one seems intent on being brutally honest and that’s admirable. It’s a keeper.

(Boku no Hero Academia 15)

It’s interesting to note in the final shot of the OP, Shouto wears a navy suit that looks a lot like his sport uniform. However, Bakugou is clearly wearing his hero outfit and so is everyone else.

Interesting to note All Might’s blood stain stays on the side of his face when he speaks after it spurts out of his mouth. However, that attempt at humour didn’t quite work for me.

“…until the day of.” – The day of…what? The subs didn’t finish the sentence, even though it’s obvious from the context what it’s referring to.

Mineta’s “person” thing is something used to relieve stress – you write the kanji for “person” on your hand (which only needs two strokes) and then you eat it (figuratively speaking).

Ooh. Shouto’s made a real pretty ice sculpture.

Oh. Koseiteki literally, but “Quirky” in English translation. Nice one, subbers. (The title for the next ep is affected by this particular grammar snarl – which I don’t really know how to explain myself – affecting the word for Quirk (kosei). Literally speaking, the title for the next ep is something along the lines of “Everyone’s Good With [Their Own] Quirks, Aren’t They?”)

(Tsugumomo 1)

I wasn’t part of the anime scene in 2007, so I wonder how that’ll impact my view on the show.

Oh man, OP debut queue. It’s kinda hard to keep up with…

I get why people make that eye-shaped window thing, but I’m not a fan of it visuals-wise.

Oh gosh. Why can’t harem protags keep their hands to themselves? Plus, that hand movement Kazuya makes doesn’t make sense if you’re reaching out for the girl (Kiriha, that was her name, right?).

The more I sigh, the more I want to get out of here. I can’t handle 1) jokes about…a man’s area, 2) jokes about peeking at panties and 3) jokes about groping girls, among other things (which have all been ticked off!), so this show has one last chance to prove itself before it gets a bad score and a kick out.

Yeahhhhhhhh. I get why you’re doing that, but...out in the open, you look like a perv, Kazuya.

Don’t say you’re dead when you’re falling…*sigh*

Dang that battle made me change my opinion fast. Good fight scene. Now tone down the harem parts and we have ourselves a deal.

Dang that “Ya-kun, I’ve drawn a bath!” thing reminds me exactly of Masamune-kun’s Revenge. Or Fuuka. Whichever one it was last season with the dude with the multiple sisters who lounge around in their underwear…*rolls eyes*

When Kiriha showed up in bed I half expected either 1) “PERVERT!” *shaking screen* or 2) “YIKES! Why is she in my bed?!” *shaking screen*. If either of those happened, I never registered it (mercifully) because I had the volume off, but luckily the screen didn’t shake...Okay, he screamed. I’m getting outta this cliché fest, see ya.

// August 29 2017

To describe the past week and a half? I would say... bipolar.

I finally finished my first week of work. I met some really good people. David, the 29 year old artist/white guy, Jinny 22, Henny 23, Stella 23, JiHun 23, Jung Hyun 25 were all my mains this week. I had dinner with a girl named JunMin, which was fun and sometimes I walk to work with Mina when I run into her. People in Korea are really kind in terms of helping you out. Stella treats me like her own sister already and I’ve known her a week and a half. If I spill something on my shirt or have wrinkles on my shirt she would help me straighten it out, she introduced me to people that would be good to network with, put in a good word for me at work so I can work in my desired section, and gave me a lot of advice for work- opportunities that I need to take and how to do better than the other interns that are going to come. I JUST met her and she was bending her back doing things I wouldn’t even have thought to do for my acquaintances. She even showed me the best bathroom in the building to poop (without me even asking). She... is the definition of the real MVP. She also called me randomly and we chatted this weekend til 2AM. Jung Hyun Oppa also lent me his portable charger when I was going to fix my phone, tried to trouble shoot my phone, walks me to the station, gives me directions everywhere, etc. I slept over at Jinny’s house and she let me sleep in her bed alone, shower, and even made me breakfast after knowing me for a week. People are just really kind and feel like family fast in Korea as opposed to America where people need some time to become close.

They are leaving this week and it will just be me and JiHun left for the interns.... I met SO many people! Last thursday I went to an event where all the interns of all offices gathered and talked to the ambassador. More people than I’d meet in a year in Eugene! I also saw this really handsome man that I saw last month but it turns out he works at the US embassy too. I realized I definitely like the dark hair dark eyes tan skin look. It makes me feel good that I met all these nice people and am excited for the interns that will be coming into our office. I also realized that I had been only hanging with people my own age for a long time, andd now that Im with a lot more people in their 20s, age is more negligible than at other ages. Like how I can have good convos with the guy that’s 29 even though he’s 8 years older, as opposed to if I was 11 and he was 19. I’m going to take it as a true sign of being an adult.

Working at an embassy is interesting. There is a lot of exclusivity. I can go into areas other people can’t because I have a badge, and I get to escort guests because they can’t go anywhere without an escort. But also, there are a lot of places I don’t have access too, like the Base. The base is where the american diplomats and their families live. I got to go to a party in the base two nights ago and it was interesting because when I mentioned going in the base, my fam/friends were shook and excited because not just anyone is allowed to go. I don’t know how I feel about this exclusivity thing. People are definitely NOT treated as equals, and I think that kind of bugs me. Also, it bothers me that kids of diplomats can just get jobs and get paid for it in the embassy just because they are the kids of the diplomats, while we are out here working for free. Jinny was complaining to me about having to go to work (she lives 10mins away and has a shuttle that takes her which would make it 4 minutes) and she gets paid and does less work, and I just told her to stop complaining. Also her sister was telling me how she works in the embassy and just naps and nobody notices (and she gets paid for it). Jinny joked about her and i skipping work the next day and the other interns said if Sey does that she will get fired!!! and Jinny said oh... I can’t get fired... cuz the Americans view me as their own kid messing up.... because they are also diplomats like my dad. I understand people come from different backgrounds, but that just didn’t sit quite well with me and just bugs me. It doesn’t make sense that something that’s supposed to be so professional like diplomacy can be run that unfairly (from my point of view). I’m realizing that maybe it isn’t what I thought it was.

When I went to the intern lunch, I saw grad students that were 23, who had passed the FSO exam and would be going to DC in the fall to start their careers as diplomats. At that young age! I was so impressed. Also, listening to the ambassador’s story of travels, diplomacy, and experiencing different cultures, I realized what an important and meaningful job being a diplomat was and it made me more interested in becoming one. Being around people who have accomplished a lot and are going places makes me set my sights even higher and be excited for my career.

I’ve also been very discouraged as well. My family got annoyed with me and thought I was being rude cuz i was cranky when I napped and didnt eat dinner, and they were passive aggressive with me for a couple days. They aren’t that interested in what I have to say about work, and always seem to be stuck in their own bubbles, which is fine. One night I didnt want to go home because I was annoyed at my fam and I just sat on the swings outside my apartment and had my alone time. I feel like I have to watch my actions at home and at work and can never truly be myself or have alone time. I havent had time to watch TV or my hobbies and even writing this is such a treat for me. I’ve teared up multiple times because I’m so drained from dealing with family, not having enough alone time, being so tired, and I have to take care of myself. It was fine doing it in eugene but here it’s discouraging because they wanted me to stay in this city instead of moving so they could take care of me and they havent been doing that that well. Sometimes they try. yesterday i treated myself at Daiso, an asian dollar tree and I bought stuff that I like and a cute bulletin board to remind me of people who I can be myself around. I put up messages from nomuna, jessy and brenda from nomuna’s birthday gift last year. It was a friendly reminder.

My family is going on a vacation without me because i cant get the days off. They didnt even talk to me about it they just said... “can u get 11th off?” and i said hesitantly “uhhh....” and then the other aunt said “whatever she cant it’s whatever” so i think im going to be home alone. I got mad at mom last week cuz she wrote me 10 pages on how I should act around my family. She said dont just do ur dishes, do EVERYONE’s dishes. Dont be picky with food, say this to gma, act like this to this aunt, like that to this aunt, blablabla. I got mad at her because I already feel so uncomfortable living with family here because... they seem to care less about my work or day than even my friends back home. It’s just so weird that they are family but are less family than my friends and that’s just so uncomfortable to me and awkward. I was very open at first sharing my day but i can tell they don’t listen attentively and brush things i say off. they DO have their way of showing love, such as calling me when it’s raining LOL (which is useless like wtf r u gonna do by calling). I just miss being myself, and I miss being heard.

I went to a party on Sunday and it was SUCH a blast!!! Koreans know how to have a good time. We played TONS of games and I won at most of them. :) I also realized how quiet I was compared to other people and thought to myself, “ i am so awkward in group settings”.

Last friday, I went to Han river with the childhood friend. it was an AMAZING time. We sat on the grass and ate pizza and joked around and took pictures of the city and walked across the bridge of life / suicide bridge and read the quotes. He is probably the only one I truly 100% feel myself around in Korea, and I really like hanging out with him.

There are also so many couples here. Couples kissing, couples hugging, couples in couple shirts, couple shoes, couple pants, couple hairstyles.... Too many couples. It makes me feel single and I aint even single. I miss bryan a lot too. I just miss having someone there to experience everything with me and knowing all my problems and asking how my day was in person. After being here, I am even more appreciative that I have someone who I can really truly be myself without having to filter myself. It makes me miss home, but in all honesty, I just miss the people.

Also, I get fat shamed a lot here. By my gma, by a kid in an elevator, basically by random people like aunts too. And i hear a lot of other crap too sometimes, about my personality, about my habits, but fat shaming is the most prominent. The fact that i can hear that stuff and not give a flying f/laugh about it really has shown me i don’t care about what people say and am really confident in who I am, which I think is something good I realized. I truly believe that if you want to go far, you should not be able to let people’s opinions or judgments deter your belief in who you are.

It took a while to write this. But the point is, I miss my friends, but I’m making new ones, staying busy, having fun, trying to treat myself and love myself once in a while, and even if I can’t be myself most of the time, I really am trying to find some alternatives. These past weeks have been so eventful, so busy, and I am so blessed to meet so many good people and to be learning so much. <3

6/25/17, 5:30am - idk

Another long two weeks on the books. I really like this update schedule, it’s like just long enough that I don’t forget everything that happened lol.

I had a really weird dream sometime this week. It was kind of amazing, so I feel like writing about it for a sec. I was on some like cobblestoney/brickey kind of streets. A little bit Doctor Who London meets Chapel Hill I suppose, and all around me people were starting to riot. I think it was a feminist riot like I had encouraged Cullen to do months ago, and people were starting to shoot at each other. I was like duck this and took off running, but as I made my way down these outdoor escalators by a target I got scooped up by a group of five girls. Each of them grabbed a hold of one of my limbs and held me down and the last had a bat and was ready to smash my junk to pieces. I was like crying or something screaming not to hit my balls because they were still fragile lmao. When all seemed lost and I was about to take a beating one of the girls got bit by a fucking zombie on the neck and started gushing blood. All the girls freaked and I knew it was my time to get the fuck out of there so I bolted like hell. I ended up finding a laundromat tucked into a corner of this outdoor mall and so I decided to build myself a barricade there. I let in a little girl and her family, and they helped me move the washers and dryers, stacking them up (I guess I was superhuman or they weighed like nothing) to build a giant barricade at the entrance. We were safe from the zombies for a while, but some government agency started taking them down outside. What looked like an enormous leech made its way inside, and I held it up to see that it had a big mouth and teeth in the center of its belly. One of the zombies tried to make a big enough crack in the washers to get in, and I held up the leech who ate the zombie whole. But the government or somebody was trying to get us to come out of our hiding spot, saying they only needed one of us. When the family decided they were going to get rid of me because they didn’t know me I decided that this was bullshit because it was MY hiding spot, and furiously threw the leech out of the place. It landed in the middle of a small platoon of guys and exploded, turning them all into zombies. Then I was like holy shit this got even weirder and I woke up lol.

____

So anyway, Sunday I managed to get a nap in before heading out to pick up frankie. we talked for a while while fonzi was getting ready and all headed out to this food truck rodeo. We had some of the most delicious shit. Not gonna elaborate too much, but there were these pork belly bun sandwiches that exploded with a crackling of meat flavor and rounded with the savoryness of the fat in every bite. Holy shit I could eat them like every day of my life lol. We spent a good couple hours there, started doing this meme where Fonzi decided that Frankie looked like a celebrity from new york because her hair is all blonde too now. Since Sean and Angel didn’t come to meet us, we decided to hang out at angel’s for a bit. Just chilled and talked for a while while we deliberated whether or not to go swimming. When we finally decided to it was sunset, so his pool was closed, and then we tried to go to my pool but it was padlocked. Pretty damn disappointing, but we walked around catching fireflies and listening to music, which was nice. I took frankie home, but missed a turn and then a road was closed so we ended up detouring through chapel hill, and I decided we needed to stop and take a walk through the arboretum. Ended up going to one of the little grassy openings and in this big oak(?) tree up above us the fireflies must have been mating. In that particular tree they lit up every couple of seconds, making it sparkle in the night. There were so many fireflies that it was like a constant twinkling, like moving christmas light strung up between the leaves. It was beautiful. But not romantic in any sense unfortunately. lmfaooo she called me out asking if I was going to try to make out with her while we walked into the garden and I tried to play it off coyly like “who me? You were the one who kissed me last I remember.” and she had forgotten about this time that I may have actually imagined in my head so who fucking knows. The long and short of it is it seems like there isn’t an ounce of me that she’s attracted to. So that might work really well if I randomly decide to take her up on her aloof offer to move in with her in Boston one day. Who knows. I stll don’t know what I want to do.

Mon - work. Tony told me at the last minute I wouldn’t have patients that weekend, so I had to work mon and weds and take a hit on tuesday to follow through on my date with Katy

Tuesday I kicked some fucking assssss in doubles. Carried my buddy Will hard to get some experience for BMR. And Katy came after she got off work! I got to introduce her to ashleigh, it was sick. I was so fucking happy to have her there and so excited to get laid and so tired from burning out from doubles that I got demolished in singles and took off. Butttt unfortunately katy wasn’t feeling well so she fell asleep on me like Immediately when we got home. Was nice cuddling up with her though. Was torn for a while because I felt like I should be trying to hang out with Ashleigh and Aaron instead. Decided not to because she wasn’t feeling well and I should try to make her feel better because I’m a sappy fuck.

weds - work

thurs - had another really low key day with Katy. kinda just hung out until she got off work and then we just slept again. Bleh.

Luckily since I got the weekend off, it left me free to see Tony and Morgan for their birthday!! It was a fucking awesome weekend, showed up just in time friday night to smoke and go to dinner with everybody. Everybody fucking cheered when I came in the door, it’s like nothing ever changes with us I love all of em so much. Finally got to meet Tony and Morgan’s S.O.’s, and I like them both a lot. Once we were all a little stoned and being a little awk Laura made this hilarious offhand remark “ok, welcome to the conference. These are your friends.” that both became a great in-joke and also made me feel less terrible for being socially inept when I got high as balls for the first time in forever lmfao. Dinner was insanely good, we got like a whole bunch of small dishes at this place Pasteur or something, ate family style and got to try so many different dishes. I remember steak tar tar and this rib that was like eating caveman bacon on a stick being incredible. Also fried pickles and all sorts of stuff. Had a couple beers there, went to a bar and bought tony a tequila shot, got home, pulled the liquor out of my car and everybody got toootally fucking wasted. I don’t remember all that much, a little bit of a nostalgia fest with Alex for a while. Tony made the clutchest move ever ordering us a pizza super late in the night. But not too much later after gorging myself I puked my guts out and crashed on an air mattress with Erica lol. Was probably drunk enough that I might have tried to make moves otherwise, even though she has a bf now apparently you know me -_- . She’s lookin suppper fit nowadays. I think she’s still uniquely the only girl I’ve rejected in my life. Back when I was just a pure little kid and didn’t want to do anything sexual without it being special yet. Fuckin weird typing that now lol it doesn’t sound like me at all.

Saturday was river day, bought some beer and hiked with it about a mile to this river and spent most of the day there smoking drinking and chatting. It was fucking gorgeous out there, and everyone looked great together laying around on this rock. Got to know Dana and her gf much better, and tony’s gf. I think I drank like 5 or 6 beers floating around in the river, it was a lot of fun trying to ford across (it had poured that morning so the water was flowing pretty fast) without spilling any beers lol. Towards the end of us hanging out in the lake me and Laura floated around in this raft morgan had brought, and alex was reeling us in and casting us back out again like he was our dad. Such an excellent day. Until then I hadn’t told anyone about my vasectomy because I didn’t want to take attention away from everyone else, seeing how it had become such a talking piece on our family vacation and how much of my conversation with frankie had revolved around it. But I mentioned it in the river and said that it was because once I found out it was reversible I felt like the onus of birth control shouldn’t be put on the woman. Everyone was just like “huh wow that’s fucking awesome I totally agree,” and I like swam away for a bit instead of discussing it further. But when we were hiking back up to our cars Mike told me “yknow you might’ve started like a revolution back there with the vasectomy thing.” I was pretty fucking drunk and a little high so I honestly wondered if he was just fucking with me for a second, but I really appreciate that he said that after all the shit I got from my family. So that was a long ass afternoon of being out in the sun, and everyone got exhausted and fought to stay up but seemed like after we got back at some point everyone took a turn of getting too high and getting zonked out on the couch. I took a nap in Tony’s bed until his dad got there and got to see him for a bit. More great food was cooked, but I felt bad that I was so tired because I kinda wanted to rage again, especially since some new people came to hang that night, but not people that I knew. As a present Tony got the fire pit from their old house, and it was really neat to have another fire and sit around it with everyone. Sunday Tony and Morgan and some people cooked an enormous breakfast for everyone. Hung out with Mike and Erica and all talked about how good we look now lol. Eventually we said our goodbyes, I stuck around after everyone had left to chill with Mike and Tony for a while because I had nothing to do back at home. Katy decided she didn’t want to chill. I had waited on my dad for a long time to see him for lunch and so I didn’t smoke too much but got a little inebriated and watched nearly a whole season of Silicon Valley with Mike and Tony and his gf and Mary. Sun - came back at 4, got home at 7, idr that night. Mon - Stayed up until like 6am watching Doctor Who, had to go to chapel hill for a JKCF function at 9, barely slept at all but met some new cooke friends so that was cool. Went to raleigh w/ will to play melee, got suuuper fucked. Went 0-2 in singles AND doubles, the worst placing I’ve had in... well ever, but it’s been months since I’ve had one that bad. Tues - Had a redemption tournament at Geeksboro. Got second place, actually won a little money. Disappointed that I threw away a few games that might’ve given me first but had a lot of fun. Katy told me she was sick that morning, and since she had been no fun to hang out with the last week and she bailed on our plans for Sunday and that day I decided to break things off with her. She was confused and hurt, of course, but I was just like “this is bullshit you’re treating me like I’m not a friend” and we hashed things out about her worrying about me having too strong feelings and that we’d just be friends who have sex and watch cartoons and stuff. So we’ve still been snapping every day but I still haven’t seen her in a while. I’m glad we’re still friends though, I was feeling helllla fucking self conscious for a hot minute.

Weds - I hung out watching Doctor Who most of the day, but went out to the bar Ashleigh was working to hang out for a while. She introduced me to her friend who was kinda plastered and seemed like she was leaning for a kiss on our introductory hug. So I was like woooooooh baby I love gboro people I can’t believe I have to play catchup at fucking 11pm lmao. Chugged a few free beers for this Shocktop promotion, and since I hadn’t eaten anything I got just tipsy enough that I could flirt with her without feeling like a Total asshole. We were chatting about some music and stuff, went inside and danced for the tiniest bit, and then she basically kissed me three times. Nothing egregious or any tongue or anything because I was still wary of her being a little off her ass, but I realized I got a text from ashleigh saying “come talk to me.” I was like “oh what’s up?” and she said “well it doesn’t matter now, it’s just that she’s married, they’re in a rough spot but I didn’t realize it was That rough.” ha haaaaaaaaaaa goddamn just my luck lol. She ended up puking on the side of the bar, I made better friends of a few of the regulars and played pool with them, I hung out with Aaron when he showed up at the end of the night and got to hear about the drama between him and his old roommate, and I sang a bunch of karaoke. Another fucking wonderful night, fshoooo. Got a philly cheesesteak and passed out, was super hungover the next morning lmao.

Thurs - got off work early story of that girl that I posted Fri - work, getting ready for bmr, finally got my spare setup in the office at work I’m so fucking happy it doesn’t make enough noise that it disturbs the patients. I’m gonna be a god one day lolol.

Also just as a benchmark I’m 4 episodes into season 8 of doctor who now. Comin along nicely. Def the hardest I’ve binged on a show in a longggggggg time.

OH and last I learned how to solder on weds. Finally did the work on that controller mod and it fucking brokkkkeee kinda tragic, I had to throw out the guts of the controller that I learned to play the game on. I thought I was going to be fucked for a while, but luckily Will had my back and lent me one of his spares that works even better than the one I had before. Might have actually been lucky as fuck despite being out $50 on the microchips and soldering kit lmao.

Anyway my life is amazing, I’ve been doing personal finance numbers in my head a lot but I think that’s because I’m just reassuring myself that I don’t have to worry about money much anymore. Eating well, still not doing much french fries, trying to quit soda. Started doing pushups+situps+pullups before my showers, so maybe I’ll be a little fitter, even. Life’s pretty great. So fucking excited for BMR2 next weekend, hopefully I’m gonna kick some ass. Gonna be a muchhh nerdier update next time I get on here lol.

Day 11-15

5-24-17 Day 11: I planned to wake up early to lay out but I couldn't get myself out of bed until 1. I laid on the 12th deck which is allowed. I had to wear a dress up there though. It's annoying. The 2 emo kids saw me and their faces lit up. They ran over to me and laid out with me for a little. They even brought me lunch. They're so cute. They also showed me this really cool view at the front of the boat. They said they're dating now and are gonna save up money to visit each other. They're literally like the same person it's so weird. I'm finally starting to figure out my way around as well as the rules. One of my jobs in circle c is to write notes to the parents of the kids. I've done 8 this cruise which is the goal amount we're supposed to aim for. Then I have to go slip the note under their door. Kinda weird but whatever. Every time a cruise leaves we have a meeting with all of youth staff and Carolina (our supervisor) reads all the emails she got from the former guests and their thoughts on the staff. If you get 10 compliments then you get a day off. We have new people coming tomorrow. Which means I need to figure out how to get the new schedule. I also have to fill out some paperwork tonight because it's the last night of the cruise. Which is also confusing. And on top of that I have to clean the entire club. There's a checklist. And when I mean clean I mean everything. Even the clock is on the checklist...lol well I'm gonna take a quick nap. I have to open the club in 50 minutes. It's 1:42am. Just had to say bye to my kiddos :( one of the moms came in and said her daughter and her friend absolutely adored me. She said they talked about me the whole trip and loved the note I slipped under their door. They tipped me $20 too which was so sweet. One of the girls was so sad when we had to say bye. I'm like a big teenager to them. Filling out my reports wasn't as hard as I thought. Just takes extra time. Tomorrow we have to be out of our cabins from 10-1130 because they're working on the air conditioning. Which is so freaking annoying. I have to go set up the club tomorrow morning too so that the new people can come in and look around. I'm also port manning tomorrow so I can't get off :/ I have to work the slide tomorrow too which will be interesting. I wish I was getting off. Rain and Eleanor are going to the outlets and I really wanted to go. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day. 5-25-17 Day 12: it's my mommos birthday today. Wish I was at home with her to celebrate :( I woke up early this morning to shower and the water is off. So that's nice. Guess I'll just be gross and smelly until it turns on. I work in an hour at the slide. I'm gonna try and sleep a little more until I go. Well it's freezing out and cloudy as can be. No one even went down the slide. It's too cold to get into the water. Had to eat in the crew mess hall instead of staff today. Staff closed before I could get there. The crew mess hall consists of all men from other countries who work behind the scenes. They stare at me like I have 3 eyes every time I walk in there so I've learned not to make eye contact with anyone. I sat alone and ate mashed potatoes, which has really been my only meal so far besides when I'm allowed to eat on lido. The food they give us is terrible and I'm scared to even try it. So mashed potatoes and bread it is for now. Sometimes they have really good rice though. All the meat is mystery meat so I'm scared to even try it. I just took a shower and now I'm laying in bed. I have the cabin to myself right now which is nice. I don't get service in my room which really sucks. So I can either go sit in the mess hall and have everyone stare at me or I have to put my uniform on and find somewhere on a different level that has service. There's so many rules it's ridiculous. I break them everyday. I took an apple from the mess hall today ❌ I hugged one of my kids goodbye ❌ I chewed gum while working the slide ❌ and I'm pretty sure I wore the wrong shirt. They still don't have my uniform so I've been switching between the same 3 shirts and 2 pairs of yoga pants...it's getting kinda gross. It's really hard to do laundry here too. They're always taken. I'm gonna take a nap. I have to be up in an hour ugh. So because today is embarkation for a new group of cruisers, circle c is open from 11-6 for guests to come in and check it out. No one is in the club working, it's just open. So at 6 I'm supposed to go lock the doors until we open for registration. I just went to lock the door and the place was a fucking mess. There were rubber bands covering the floor (from an art project that was put away in the closet that someone must've got out themselves), there were about 12 different board games out and all of the cards to the games were on the ground and mixed up. There was also a drawing of a penis on one of the art projects I put out for show. There was food on the couches and just shit everywhere. It's upsetting to know that the kids I'll be hanging out with for the next few days would do this. I got to meet my kids tonight and they're seriously so much fun. There's 90 kids in my clubs age group for this cruise which is insane. So we have this rule that 11 year olds are allowed to move up to my 12-14 club if they request it. We had a family come in and their daughter wanted to get moved up. I said it was okay. The parents were not too happy with the come and go as they please policy. They asked if I could walk her to the bathroom which is not allowed. I'm not a babysitting service. I'm there for fun. So the parents left and the girl came up to me and asked if the music we play is anything different than Christian rock...I explained to her that we don't play that kind of music...she then lectured me about cuss words and how she's not allowed to listen to the kind of music we play in the club. She then went on to tell me different words she made up to replace cuss words. She also questioned me on the movie playing in the club because if it's pg-13 she can't watch it...then cover your eyes like wtf. It was on the small TV too that no one even watches. Then one of the 14 year old boys was talking about "French kissing" his girlfriend. The 11 year old got in his face and completely went off on him on how inappropriate that is. The little girl then asked "do your parents know?!" The boy responded and said yeah my dad does. The girl goes and what about your mom. The boy replied and said uhhhhhh she died so I don't have a mom. It was so heartbreaking to hear as I sat in the background. Another boy then interrupted trying to stand up for the 14 year old boy. That boy, who looks like a mini Justin Bieber, went on to tell the girl that there's nothing wrong with that. The girl then got in his face going off about how she doesn't need a boyfriend in her life and she has 4 goals in life: to go to Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, become a doctor, become a vet, and love god. The boy then teased her about her boy name in which she retaliated with something having to do with Jesus crossing a river? Lastly, the Justin Bieber boy responded with there is no god, in which the little girl went OFF. I just sat there not knowing what to say. I really need to talk to the girls parents because she is way too immature to be with these older kids. She needs to be in club ocean. I just don't know how to say that to the parents without sounding rude. Ugh it was seriously so awkward. After all the chaos we went and played man hunt on the sports deck. When I left all the kids yelled we love you! It was seriously so cute. They said I'm really cool 😋it's 1:44am and I'm just laying in bed. I put some pics of me and my kids on my wall. We take pictures on captains dinner night and I get to keep one. I still don't have a uniform so I've been wearing the same 2 pairs of pants for almost 2 weeks and it's totally disgusting. On Sunday I switch to camp ocean which will be interesting. I really love being with the older kids but I also like having a different schedule which comes with working in camp ocean. 5-26-17 Day 13: I think it's time for me to say something to my new roommate about her bf sleeping over every night. He leaves our room at 530 am every morning which obviously wakes me up. He also snores and moans in his sleep. I randomly wake up and hear her whispering but he's snoring at the same time so I'm confused. I'm in the mess hall right now eating. Mashed potatoes as always. I added carrots and ranch to the mix today. The amount of food these people eat is insane. It's like they've been starved for a week. This lady just walked by me with 6 chicken breasts...and the girl at the table next to me has an entire plate of crispy chicken and mashed potatoes as well as another plate full of cake and a cup filled with ice cream. Oy. Today has been a long freaking day. I just went to the crew bar and Rain and Alina left. So of course I was awkwardly stuck talking to some older guy I didn't understand at all. Then another guy tried to talk to me asking if I had a bf and blah blah blah. Not interested at all. So I made up some dumb excuse. One of them told me a story of a time he was in Brazil and a car pulled up to him and shot the man sitting next to him in the car. I barely understood him so I just shook my head and was like oh wow omigod damn blah blah blah. Today we had a team meeting and said bye to one of our members, Reuben. He's seriously such a fun guy and reminds me of one of my best friends that moved away. Like actually a replica. We all hung out and got to eat a special dinner because of it. After everyone left, me, Reuben, and Rain stayed and sang karaoke for over an hour. Me and Reuben sang tons of songs and he harmonized. It was a freaking blast. After that I went and bought alcohol in the gift shop. It's so freaking cheap and then on top of that we get a discount. Also, when I first started my supervisor told me I needed to take out some of my earrings. After a week of not having some in I decided to put them back. One of my piercings I've had for over 2 years now. When I went to put the earring back in it was totally starting to close up. I had to jam my earring into the hole to re-pierce it and now it feels like that feeling when you first get it pierced. It hurts so bad. At least my forehead doesn't hurt anymore from banging it on that metal shelf. I do have a weird huge bruise on my arm that people keep asking me about that's kinda concerning. It's in between the size of a golf ball to a baseball. So pretty freaking big. I'm super excited tomorrow is a port day. We have a drill at 10 though :/ like wtf I can't catch a break. Hopefully the weather is nice because I really wanna lay out. It's 2:51am. Either there's a heard of elephants on the floor above me or there's a weight lifting competition. No sleep for me tonight. Hey at least my roommates boyfriend isn't snoring. I probably just jinxed myself though. 5-27-17 Day 13: Today has been a pretty good day. The roommates bf woke me up this morning at 530. And then she woke me up at 630. The alarm definitely does the trick, and then she turns on the light and it's all downhill from there. Me, rain, and Eleanor went to a "resort" today in Ensenada. It was my first time going there. It's a shit hole. We took a taxi for 5 dollars to a hotel with a pool. We get in free there because of the cruise and we also get a towel to use for free. It was nice to wear my own clothing and not have to worry about rules and wearing my name tag. I wore sunscreen too for all of you that give me shit. Before going to the hotel we had an employee drill which was chaos. For some reason my info in the system is wrong so I had numerous adults coming up to me saying I was in the wrong spot when really I was. I already feel like I stick out and then on top of that I have people calling my name at an all employee safety drill. Wonderful. I had some trainings today which were okay. And then I got to eat at kids dinner. I had stuffed mushrooms which were freaking amazing. I hate mushrooms but these were great. Now I'm laying in bed. I have to be at the club in an hour. My roommate is in here too. I don't know how to tell her that I don't want her bf sleeping in here. It's so awkward. I haven't had a good nights sleep since I've been here and it's taking a toll. I finally got my uniform today thank god. Half of it wasn't even right though. It says the wrong club so that's annoying. But I'll get it all eventually. Tomorrow I start work at 12 so no getting off the boat for me :/ The big group of kids in my club wanted to hang out with someone who wasn't allowed in so they didn't come tonight. Which really sucks. They didn't even stop by to say bye or anything :/ The religious girl in my club went at it again with a boy. In which he responded "you'll be my trash person one day". I just sat there not knowing what to say or do. She was totally instigating him and was the one that started the entire altercation. After work I went to the crew bar. It's our friend Reuben's last day tomorrow. He's seriously such an amazing guy. I've only known him for 2 weeks and I feel like we've been friends forever. We heard we have 2 guys coming into youth staff so that will be good. We have too many girls! I just got back to my cabin and it's 2:30. And my roommates boyfriend is snoring. I'm gonna say something tomorrow. I feel like it's just common curtesy to not bring your bf home every. Single. Night. Ugh I don't know how to make it stop. And on top of that there's all these loud noises outside and above. It seriously sounds like bombs or fireworks are going off. It's so loud. I'm so confused. One second I hear my roommates boyfriend snoring and then the next second I hear them kiss. And then one second later he's literally already snoring again. And they'll randomly whisper and then snoring seconds later. Like wtf are you talking about at 2:38 in the morning. And he moans in the middle of the snoring it's just freaking me out. 5-28-17 Day 14: woke up at 530 to my roommates boyfriends alarm. Then woke up at 630 to her alarm/turning the lights on. Then she woke me up at 930 by coming in the room and leaving the door wide open...and everyone is super loud in the hallways. I swear she's fucking dumb. I asked her if her bf could start staying in his room more. I said he snores and it keeps me up. Her reply "he snore? I do not know that. I talk to him". Ugh. I worked the water slide and then did registration in camp ocean. That's where I'll be this week. We have some re-signs that came on today, one including an assistant supervisor. She's much nicer than Carolina. Just now I was standing outside of camp next to the elevators talking to my mom and Carolina gave me the death stare. I was probably breaking some dumb rule. I don't get good service down where we live though so I have to go up higher. These days feel like eternity. They go by soooo slow. Today we had 3 new people come. One is from Michigan. She's interning. Another is the assistant supervisor and she's from the phillipens (however you spell it) but she's really sweet. And the last girl is one of our staff members sister. Also from phillipens. It's 10:21 pm and I am in bed. This hasn't happened since I've been here. I worked with that returning employee today. I could tell she wasn't too happy with me not knowing any of the games...even though she knows I've never worked at camp ocean and the only time I did was my first freaking day. She told me I need to learn them. I was with the 9-11 year olds tonight. They're really sweet and call me Joey Kanga(roo). I can tell a few of the little girls really like me. I heard one of them telling her mom about me lol. Elle and Rain are already sleeping :/ of course I'm not tired right now. I need to make some more friends that I can do stuff with like go to a comedy show or something. Cuz on a cruise ship 10:00 means the night is just beginning. It's hard though when you can't communicate with people through phone. I told the new girl she could stop by when she gets off. I wanna be there for her because I was just in that position 2 weeks ago. I'm really starting to freak out about being on this boat for so long. I know 3 months is short compared to everyone else but I've only been here for 2 weeks and it feels like forever. There's times when I'm having so much fun though and I look around and have to remind myself that I wanted this job so badly. There's so many amazing things I get to do while working here but being away from my family and friends is hard. And especially my 2 kitties :( ugh I miss them so much. Things are definitely getting easier, I just think I'd have more fun if I had more friends to do stuff with. Eleanor is leaving in 2 weeks :/ and her boyfriend is leaving this week. Hopefully me and the new intern can hang out a lot considering we're both learning still. We just went and got ice cream. There's so much I wanna help her with. She knows one of the other interns on the boat so she's in a better position than I was. She's in a temporary room where the crew works. It looks very different than staff. They also share a community bathroom...staff have many more privileges than crew does. Crew has a bigger mess hall though but we're allowed to eat there too, which consists of men staring at me. The people here are so fucking rude. These men will run into me while I'm walking or step in front of me. No one says excuse me or sorry. Also no one knows to walk on the right side of the stairs and the right side of the hallway. The kids I work with are more polite than these grown ass rude men. Also NO BOYFRIEND TONIGHT WOOT WOOT. 5-29-17 Day 15: I was quiet as always last night and this morning just to find out my roommate slept out lol. I had tendering at 830 this morning. No one told me what the hell it was so thankfully Eleanor called me this morning and told me where to go and what time. It's basically standing by the elevators and telling people where to go to get off the boat. For 3 hours. It's ridiculous. This is a mess. We have to take tender boats while in Catalina which causes all of this chaos. And people are told all different things so it's confusing to the guests. Right now I'm taking a little break. Of course the one time I have free I'm not getting service. I got to eat lunch at lido today. I tried the burrito bar for the first time. Kinda like chipotle. It was pretty good and actually something somewhat healthy for once. Work was good tonight. I worked with the returning sister again who once again questioned me on why I didn't know anything. She knows I've never done this shit like give me a fucking break. One of the kids had autism so of course I automatically fell in love with him. He started dancing so I was totally cheering him on and then his pants ripped. He instantly grabbed his crotch and I knew if I didn't help right away there could be a possible meltdown within seconds. I asked him if he was comfortable with the pants or if he wanted to change into new ones which is what he wanted. While we waited for his parents (who never answered their phone) I gave him my jacket to wear around his waist. I told his mom about my job back at home and asked if I would be back tomorrow. Hopefully he won't wear his "church pants" as he calls them tomorrow. After work I went to the comedy show with the new intern britny (the one I took under my wing). She actually moved in with the other intern who is part of the fun squad. We also went to the comedy show after. The comedian has a son with autism so of course I had to tell him about my job back at home. He gave me a huge hug. Then me and britny went to the crew bar which is pretty cliquey. One of our girls was there. I thought she was from the phillipens this entire time and she was totally offended when I told her I had no idea she was from Indonesia. She was laughing though. She tells the kids her name is Jennifer Lopez. She has 3 kids back at home and one is only 3 months old...her husband is on this boat too. Her kids live back at home with her sister. It's so crazy. After that we went and got pizza at the lido deck but the pizza guy gave us the weirdest look when we got up there it was so uncomfortable. Me and britny just stood there in silence because we were so taken aback. Tomorrow I don't start until 2. I'll probably sleep until then honestly. I have to do laundry tomorrow. I only have 1 pair of underwear left. And my room smells like dirty socks. I think it's my shoes that I have to wear everyday. Pretty gross. I'm praying there's a washing machine open. Also, today while I was working with the new sister girl she was talking to one of the parents about her son and she kept saying "she" and "her". The phillipinos don't know the difference between he she him her. It's like comical. So the one is staring at her all confused. These are grown women and they don't know the difference, and then back at home this is a program I work on with my kids at work.
