KIDD; kiss-proof lipstick review

warning/s: very fluff, fem reader, youtuber/streamer!kidd, shy!s/o, modern au, most nsfw thing could happen is an abrupt makeout

note: based from this -> post, smaller italicized texts are sub-bullets

kidd as a youtuber that normally does metal covers with his band (heat, killer, and wire)

has about a solid following of 100k subs bc they're just so cool

that is until his viewers asked for his makeup tut bc he always looks so bomb

his viewers have also requested fit checks like what he wears in a week

kidd forgot to mention that he has a s/o, which mildly upset a certain demographic who was ahem thirsty for him

you as his gf doesn't really mind if he talks to himself in front of his phone or camera on random times, but he always tells you a quick warning beforehand bc you sometimes appear on the bg of his vids/streamer

i also think that at some point, kidd does game streams bc he's lazy to edit. his fanbase supports any content he does whether it's just yap streams or food streams or band rehearsals

i feel like he always aims for competitive games that are pvp like MK, COD, league, etc. it just feeds his ego, and he enjoys trashtalking 😭 riling his opponent up and all that

it's all so funny, which explains his fanbase that tolerates his insufferable temper and jokes. it takes a certain kind of humor that other people might take as offensive

but the second he got sponsored by a punk make-up line, a pr box arrived at his doorstep bc he rarely checks his emails

he'd ask you to do a makeup stream with him, but you were too shy about it. especially after being the final boss of a certain demographic that is attracted to him 😭 but you never told him that. knowing him, he'll probably flip all of them off and cause drama

he'd start up stream, poorly introducing the products. you laughed to yourself at how bad he was at complimenting or kissing ass to the brand he legit has never heard of😭

kidd knows how to apply his makeup; shadow, liner, and lipstick. he tried on a purple and red shadow combo and his usual full eye liner.

his stream at that point became very chill, his fans loving every bit of his craft and how focused he was doing everything. especially at how he looked like afterward

"now we got- kiss-proof lipstick? they sent me a shit ton of fuckin' shades!" he showed a whole box of liquid lipsticks. laughing at the ridiculous amount.

his fanbase requested a test of the kiss proof on his palm, showing interest in the product

but kidd had different ideas. it might be a good way to hard launch you already.

his ig and twt already had pictures of you during dates, but your face was always hidden most of the time

"a test on my palm? oh boy, i have a better idea for that."

he'd call you, "babe! baby! c'mere a moment, i need ya a bit."

his chat would go: "babe?!?! omg hard launch?!", "omg here is his s/o!", "OH GOD KIDD YOU SLICK CHEEKY FUCK!"

you'd be scared for a bit, but kidd looked really excited. besides you also want to check out his makeup products.

"are we gonna do it together?" you muttered lowly, referring to the review

"kinda." he shrugged. "i just got one lil job for you, you'd love it promise."

you were skeptical at first but oh well. kidd lets you pick the lipstick of your choice, which was a bright red. it always looks good on him.

the chat was highkey going crazy when your body from neck below was showing

they also noticed how kidd started acting differently, he spoke softly and he had this meek smile while looking up at you

he lets you apply it on him. you were now seating with the seat he pulled to let you down. the chat now being able to see you. you waved a hi shyly, and man the view count started going up

twt was already full of you guys 😖

kidd then fanned his lips, waiting for the product to dry.

"ok, what's next?" you asked, popping the lid close

"this." he grabbed the back of your head and kissed you on stream. holding the kiss pretty good in there, smirking through it as he did so, before sucking on your lips open

you were too flustered and frozen but he even had the audacity to angle his head the other way to continue kissing you

it was pretty fucking lewd, he was really getting in there

but you, you melted from his lips and his firm grip on your nape

the chat and stream lagged at the amount of chats and view counts increasing exponentially

once he pulled away after a good 2 minutes, he turned to the screen and said, "so? it really is kiss proof, aye?" he bursted out laughing at your reaction which was the same when he started kissing you 🤣

the chat also went hysterical, both from freaking out with the both of you and your reaction

you honestly didn't mind, you half expected it. it's kidd we're talking about🤣 because kidd did it as a flex and as a fuck you to his haters (especially those who were targeting you)

you had to excuse yourself which resulted to even more comedic response from kidd at how cute you are. you were burning red btw

you later come back to tell kidd and chat that you're okay, and you plan to get back on him for that

JASDHSAJDJSAJDSA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! JUST DID THIS LAST NIGHT

[modawg]

i feel like if rick keeps saying the timeline just goes with whatever timeline it is irl (more or less) so the characters don’t age outside of cannon then annabeth would be the biggest slooth and knew everything abt percy before he even came to camp using that computer they have in the back

if we’re saying technology ages with the irl timeline yk

like i just know pre tlt the moment annabeth found out abt that prophecy and chiron told her they might’ve found their guy she was looking that kid up IMMEDIATELY

like she was looking up first name last name middle initial school records public court records everything abt his mom his step dad yada yada yada like genuinely i just know she would’ve looked into all that shit

like she probably went to luke after chiron told her abt percy and was like “they think they found the kid from the prophecy”

“oh shit fr ?? when are they gonna bring him to camp?”

“oh idk..”

“damn well-“

“but his names perseus jackson he lives in manhattan new york he’s been kicked out of 5 schools so far- he’s my age his birthdays coming up pretty soon, august 18th, so he’s a leo- his moms sally jackson she married his guy gabriel ugliano a couple years ago and hes currently going to boarding school called yancy academy which is where grovers at rn and where chirons going tomorrow. his public records say he’s pretty small too i could prob pick him up, shorter then me by 2 inches😌”

“oh-“

“nothing abt his dad tho chiron won’t tell me :/“

“and when did he tell you all that??”

“he told me his name last night i’ve been at the computer all day there aren’t many ppl by the name perseus lmao”

“cool..so when perseus-“

“chiron said grover calls him percy”

“ok so when percy comes to camp how abt we make sure he doesn’t think ur a creep ok? and we’ll keep this all to ourselves”

“:/ ok”

“ok..cool..”

“do you wanna know his blood type? i already told the apollo kids :)”

“please no”

logistically ik you can say “mo she can’t do that bc the monsters >:(“ FUCK THOSE MONSTERS

their protected by thalias tree at this point and i feel like she’d be one of the only ppl with access to that computer anyway like they keep that thing pretty lock and key so i could see annabeth sticking her hat on and creeping her way to the computer every other night before percy came just so she could know exactly who they would be bringing to camp

hc that annabeths a freak and we love her for it

i will forever believe annabeth has a scary “percy” folder hidden under her bed with a bunch of shit abt him in there

emails he sent her ? printed and annotated check

anything written/drawn by him ? check

anything medical just incase ? check

random facts abt him she probably wrote when he was gone to make herself feel better ? check

your honour she’s a menace and she loves that boy

Sunshine!reader decorating Hotch’s office w flowers nd pink things and Hotch just having to deal w it bc your smile makes it impossible for him to say no to you

hotch isn't madly in love with you, he swears. 1k fem!reader

Hotch is so surprised to see you that he says your first name rather than your last. 

"What are you doing?" 

You look up from his filing cabinet and smile softly. He thinks it's a wonder that your sweetness has survived so long considering where you work, that you can bring a little bit of sunshine with you no matter where you are. 

"Nothing," you say.

"I doubt that." 

He comes up behind you but leaves an amicable space between you, watching your fingers thread through the stalks and stems of a bouquet of whire flowers. 

"They're lilies," you tell him, pulling the nicest bulb to the forefront. 

He doesn't bother asking what they're for, or why you've brought them. He's sure the reason is clear in your own mind. Whatever it is, he sits down behind his desk and listens to your quiet humming. 

He feels his eyebrows rise of their own accord. "What's this?" 

"What?" you ask, turning to him. 

He takes a pink notebook into his hand. It's a pale pink, almost white. 

"Oh, that's for you." You put your hand on his chair and lean over his shoulder just enough for your perfume to tickle his nose. Slowly, you put your hand on top of his and open the book. "I know you've struggled to find time for yourself lately. I asked around, and the storehand I spoke to said that you only need five minutes every now and then to fill this in. It's to help you think about yourself, and what you want." 

"What I want," he says, smiling down at the prim dotted paper. 

"You know, what you want to be." You steal your hand back and move again to your bouquet. "Happy, healthy." 

"I am happy and healthy." 

"I know that. I think I'm just trying to encourage some selfishness in you, Hotchner. When was the last time you had," — your voice drops to a frustrated mumble as you wage war on a small leaf — "even a minute to yourself?" 

He scratches the sticky residue of a pricing sticker. "Right now." 

"No, you're with me right now. That is not time to yourself," you protest, grinning at him like he's the funniest guy on earth.

You ditch your flowers and gesture to the chair in front of his desk. "Can I sit down?" 

"Of course." 

You sit, throwing one starched pant leg over the other. He tries not to look at the stretch of your thigh. Succeeding, Hotch turns his gaze to your hands instead where you've pressed them to your neck, toying with the soft neckline of your cream sweater. 

"Is there something you wanted to talk about?" he questions, puzzled by your ensuing silence. 

You sink a little further into the chair. "Could I hide out with you for a while?" 

"Is everything okay?" 

"I love Spencer," you say genuinely, your jawline softening as you slouch in on yourself. He feels a pit beginning to form in his chest, a terrible, aching fondness for you and the way you talk. "So much. He's my best friend in the whole world…" 

"But?" 

"And," you correct with little malice, "lately he's been reading Dostoevsky again." 

Hotch laughs. "Ah." 

"Mm. Sometimes being his friend feels like being a reluctant philosophy major." 

"Well, you can stay, but I have things to do." 

"Of course," you say, nodding quickly. You pull your phone from your pocket. The sound of you typing is slightly grating, and the resin charms hanging from your phone case don't help, but he doesn't complain. He knows you're answering emails when his own phone beeps, a response to a case query he'd sent that morning. 

At least you're working. You're probably more productive sitting with him where Reid can't distract you. Though that's unfair — you and Reid feed into one another. You do your fair share of distracting. Case in point, his new pink notebook. 

His phone beeps again, and again. You've sent three emails in a row, but the third isn't in response to anything. 

The subject line is abrasive. NEED YOUR ADVICE. 

You've sent a list of web pages. He glances up at you but you're not looking at him, just tap tap tapping at the keys on your phone. 

The first link is a monster truck. The second, a thumb piano. The more pages he opens the more confused he becomes. 

"What advice?" he asks, breaking the quiet. 

"Jack's birthday," you mumble without looking up. "Last year I got him that bubble machine, and it was a bust." 

Hotch blinks. "He loved it." 

"Yeah, but I ruined your hardwood." 

He concedes, nodding his head toward his shoulder, "He uses it in the backyard."

Your phone starts to ring. "Oh, no. It's Spencer."

Hotch looks out of his office window, watching as Reid searches the office for you. 

You stand up and brush yourself down. "I can avoid the unavoidable no longer." You smile at him as you had when you first saw him, a soft thing, eyelashes kissing in the corners. "Please pick whichever one is gonna give you the least grief. Hello? Hi, Spence. No, I was doing something for Hotch. Yeah, I'd love to hear about it…" 

Your voice fades as you leave the room, exiting with a wave and a private smile. 

Hotch lets himself sit back in his chair but resists the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose. You're gonna kill him, one day, all your pinks and flowers and shy smiles. He shakes it off because he has work to do, so much work, and if he starts thinking about you he won't stop, reaching into his desk for a file and coming up short. 

There's a small plate inside, saran wrap covering what looks to be a half-dozen sugar cookies. A post it note brags their origin. 

For Hotch and Jack, 

They didn't have any blue icing at the store. P.S. Sorry for looking in your desk. I didn't see anything, swears.♡

summary:

“Does this story have a point?” Eddie questioned, Lena narrowing her eyes at him; it would’ve felt threatening had he not known she was more bark than bite.

“This guy, my sort of friend—what if he could watch Chris for you?”

Eddie furrowed his brows together. “You want me to leave my kid who’s halfway across the country with some—stranger?” Was she out of her damn mind?

“It beats having him sent home to your parents, right?”

Well, she had a point there.

Eddie shook his head, overwhelmed with his thoughts.

“Look, I appreciate it Bosko, but I just—I don’t know. This is my kid we’re talking about.”

“I know that, and I know how much you love him. Hell, you’ve sent me ten plus emails when I was watching him for you.”

Eddie looked to where there was a line coming out of the office, his other teammates no doubt having several emergency questions of their own. He turned to Lena, giving his full attention.

“Alright, tell me about this friend of yours.”

—or—

The one where Eddie’s in the army, Shannon gives up her rights to Chris, and Eddie needs a babysitter. Good thing Lena knows Buck, the guy having nothing better to do than help babysit until Eddie gets back. Eddie would come home, and he would leave; it wasn’t like they were going to build some lifetime friendship or anything.

Hiiiiii I have a question about long haired Toby!!! What are the differences (in as much or as little detail as you'd like) between Baltimore Toby and Miami Toby 🤔

JEJFBFBJFJF THANK YOU SM

tw: this has mentions of overworking, mental health problems, unhealthy habits and substance use 🤧

Baltimore Toby is back when it was working on the first project/getting its phd (Baltimore bc I think the university the program belonged to was Johns Hopkins or something. haha. obviously we're talking about 2260's here though.) meanwhile Miami Toby is when Aleena & co. asked him to join the skincare start up as a co founder and head of comms.

Side tracking/additional info that's not so important: Okay so funniest thing is that i was like. basically thinking at first that hey i'm sure toby had lots of free time during the project as well. Then I saw a post abt my uni being on top 100's again in Shanghai ranking and went "hm what r the top universities" which then led me to google tuition fees in different places. I went to see john hopkins tuitions and kind of went 👁️👁️ when I saw that students would basically spend around 100k$ a year during phd (indirect fees included) so i was like. hm!

ANYWAY! While I did mention that in Cynosure worldbuilding most universities are free and all, there are still some private ones some parents like to send their children to and with which some corporations like to do collabs). Now, while Tobias did in fact probably get some scholarships and Mackie was like "oh if you keep working for us we'll pay all of ur uni debt" and Toby, 17 years old, naive and just wanting to show what it can do to help people, went "oh ofc that sounds great!". poor guy.

While he did think he would stay there after the project too, Toby's also "a bit" anxious and like, finds it hard to trust promises like that, so it goes on and does extra work like ta:ing and volunteering and all stuff like that. Which led it to basically have no free time at all hahaha. :/. It did attend a book club and get a game console to play its favorite video games at home but like, that's kinda it. It also liked to do work at home btw. Jack would literally come by sometimes and its just sitting looking through some data or something. lmao.

This also led to the fact that Toby basically had no other human contacts except for, well, it's coworkers, some people from university, the book club and Jack (who is also in the coworker section).

ANYWAY! After it left the project it was basically like, "hm what do i do now," especially after looking at its bank accounts and seeing a debt that would be like, almost one million dollars in our modern currency (bc he also hasn't paid for his bachelor's in MIT either. his mom sent him there. he didn't want to go there). Plus he's "just a bit burnt out" (Toby's words) and, well, trying to ignore all its thoughts and feelings re: Jack.

Week later after leaving Mackie Tobias opens its email and sees Aleena's message asking it to call her or meet up with her. So he goes there and she's like "hey so remember our project at that one cosmetics chemistry course? we were thinking abt turning it into a start up and i was wondering if you'd like to join," to which Toby's all like "uh. yeah. sure." not like it has anything else going on. Aleena makes it the head of communications bc Tobias loves public speaking, presentations and stuff like that. And so he moves to Miami.

NOW, despite having a title like that, it's surprisingly easy and has very little work tasks especially since it has a comms team. Toby has no idea what to do with all that free time. It's the first time in its life when it has so much free time (not counting age 1-5).

So it asks Aleena what she tends to do during her free time bc it kinda finds it hard and she's like "well i go to clubs sometimes. and meet with people. and do some other stuff hmm..." and toby, in its brain, basically went "oh so i gotta go to a club."

Well. He did. Many times. Maybe like five times a week or something. It doesn't drink alcohol but picked up some Other Substances to use and, well, basically got a bit too much into things like one night stands or quickies bc 1) its people pleaser brain somehow thought that would be fun and 2) it needed someone to care about it at least in some way and 3) it helped to not think about Jack. Then Frank also showed up so... 😬.

THAT SAID it's not that he only spent time there, Toby also liked to going to museums and got into playing basketball with Aleena. AAAAND it also started spending lots of time at home doing stuff. Or staring at the wall while being bored.

SO UM. How do I conclude this. Both were very bad to its mental health in different ways and the biggest difference is that Baltimore Toby had no free time and Miami Toby had too much. Another difference is that Baltimore Toby tended to limit its substance use to stimulants only, Miami Toby tended to, well, it was high almost all the time. :/

After it got done with everything it basically sold all of its shares for super cheap, which was enough to pay off most of its debt and have some savings, and then it just Left (tm) and went to start things over. Good for it.

[fanfiction-artist-prototype]

Thinking of a silly Shen Qingqiu Shang Qinghua friendship fic where they accidentally get sent back into their original world with all their memories for some fucking reason only for Qingqiu to reach out to Airplane through his author email for PIDW because thr author is making suspicious changes that reflect things his shidi said he'd change if he ever got the chance to rewrite his novel.

And all was going well, it'd be a stupid fluff piece and then I remembered ah I am a proud supporter of the Shen Yuan had a chronic illness that contributed to his death team, and that it means I'd have to acknowledge that Qingqiu would probably fall into an absolute miserable depression because he'd been HEALTHY.

He'd known what it was like to be of average health, hell well above average with a cultivators constitution and now it's gone and he might die again because he forgot what his body could/couldn't handle -

Anyway originally meant to be fluff and now it's just Shen Yuans family being unsure if they like this Qinghua guy because on the one hand their Yuan'er has never been so ALIVE, and on the other their Yuan'er seems to loose what little sense regarding his health he had previously HAD.

Depending on the timeline/how I feel you also either have Binghe/Mobie-jun in the background freaking the fuck out bc where did our husband's go. Or you have Qingyuan, Liu Qingge and the entirety of Qing Jing and An Ding coming together because their Shidi/Shixiong/Shizun/Shibo have FUCKING DISAPPEARED WHERE DID THEY GO-

[sarahwroteathing]

I know I sent a reaction the other day but this just popped in my head for lil sassy bitch Rogers:

Honestly I think everyone at shield would be so shocked when Steve turns out to be this sassy bitch. They're like oh he's from the 40s and so well mannered and maybe in the beginning after he came out of the ice he is. But then there's the accounting guy who's just so rude to his pregnant coworker who's also a single mom bc she got ditched by fucking Dave in Marketing when she got pregnant and Steve sees red. He's done with the manners and the real Steve comes out. So first he tells off the accountant, storming in and using a very colorful vocabulary which leaves the guy pale, wideeyed and reeeeal close to peeing himself and then after he makes sure to assist the pregnant lady to the cafeteria where he buys her whatever her cravings are he storms of to fucking Dave. And Dave actually pisses himself. The next day fury can't believe his eye(s?) when he sees Steve Rogers' name in the HR meeting that just popped up on his screen.

In said meeting Steve just bitches about Dave and the other guy and sasses everyone sitting at the table with him. From that day on he has frequent meetings with HR and actually becomes good friends with the HR lady.

When shield no longer exists the Stark Industries/ Avengers HR people are thrown for a loop because they too had the imagine of well mannered Steve Rogers shattered by his sass and need to pick fights.

The implication here that Steve is very in the loop of office gossip is so fucking funny to me. Coffee breaks with the HR lady? Hiding from bureaucratic nonsense with the old folks in the mailroom? Who know literally everything that goes on in the building

Walking past a huddle of support staff in the hallway when heading to a meeting with Tony and one of them says “Steve! Did you hear about Dave?”

“Don’t even get me started.”

And Tony looks at him like ???? because he doesn’t even know these peoples names let alone what interpersonal spats they have going on

And when someone makes an HR complaint that they really can’t do anything about like “Officially, there’s not much more we can do than send an office-wide memo reminding everyone of the policies.”

“Unofficially?”

“I accidentally CCed Steve Rogers on the email about this meeting.”

“Cool.”

[nightmarist]

There was a car crash right outside my house. I didn’t realize it was a car crash for a while.

I’m partially deaf plus use noise cancelling earbuds but I felt something shake the house. Took out my earbuds and heard a lady screaming absolute bloody murder, “help me please help me, someone help me” like Top of her lungs she sounds like she’s fucking dying.

My dad and I go to the front door. He didn’t let me go outside, he pushes it closed when I try to open it. I tried to call 911 and the cunt took my fucking phone so that I couldn’t and said it’s none of our business, that some lady screams like that once a month (???? Excuse me??? And you never bothered to call someone?)

I heard the neighbor come out and say she called 911. Got my phone back (wtf tho)

Cops right outside in no time which is expected, two of them live in the neighborhood. My dad’s now trying to talk to me about a tv show while my ear pressed on the front door so I can try to hear what is happening since he won’t let me look. I’m trying to look out the peep hole and my god he will Not leave me tf alone.

I start texting my best friend who is also my neighbor in the street behind me.

I hear the lady screaming “let me call my mom, please let me call my mom, im only 16, she’s my best friend” while very obviously crying. Cop says they’ll let her call her mom. I look out the peep hole and there’s like, six police cars plus a fire truck. There’s a cop car parked in my front yard like halfway in the gravel. Dad asks me if they hit the mailbox. I said idk im trying to see what’s happening.

He goes to watch tv and I try to look out the window, I see a car with the front end totally crunched up and the neighbors car flipped on its side. I can’t see much else bc the fire trucks in the way. Can’t tell if like. Anyone’s hurt besides that girl that was screaming, I hope/assume she was uninjured and just hit a parked car.

Dad comes back to talk to me about his tv show and I tell him there’s a car crash.

He takes me phone again and goes outside to like. Film it. And bring it to me and tells me to show it to him. So I do. He doesn’t like how it looks so he takes Another video. Then makes me show him and then tells me I have to send it to my friend. I say yeah sure just to get him to leave and he says no, he wants me to show him that I sent it.

So FFS I send my friend the video abd show my dad the message. My dad then tells me to email it to him so he can “watch it on the big screen” (????? wtf man)

So I do. Tell my friend all of that while im morbidly curious looking out the window to see if anyone’s hurt (it doesn’t seem like it, no ambulance and a couple people getting questioned by the cops)

My dad comes in and asks me if they hit our mailbox again I say no (i don’t actually know, I can’t see, I don’t really care about the mail box right now!) then he asks if they hit his car like four times. Man idk You went outside. I’m still a little freaked out by the girl screaming her lungs out a few minutes ago, you know.

Anyway. I said no. He then asks as like. A stupid joke. “Hey if my car gets hit while it’s in the drive way so I call my car insurance or my house insurance” and he explains “it’s funny because if im not driving it then it’s property which is house insurance. But it’s my car so do I call car insurance or house insurance?”

I say I don’t know, just call them both so you can figure it out. He gets Mad at me and tells me I don’t “get” it and storms off to watch his show.

My guy. Someone could have died right outside our fucking house. They are parked in our Gravel. I’m trying to figure out what is happening. Shut the fuck up.

God. Anyway. That was genuinely terrifying. Still not particularly well about it. Looks like no one’s hurt thankfully. They chained up the crunched car and towed it off. Dad’s been bugging me to go out and take a photo of the neighbors car. I’m literally about to become the joker.

[morvantmortuary]

Sorry to hear you've had a rough day. Sending you good vibes and virtual hugs 🖤🖤🖤

thank you for this, darling, I super appreciate you thinking of me 🥰

some of it was honestly funny in hindsight? like, the two campus buses I have to take to get to work somehow stretched my commute into an hour each way

…I live ten minutes from my office 🙃

then I sent this job listing I really liked to the director of our professionalization committee for this year, which I knew wasn’t my exact specialization but I have other circumstances that made me think it would work, only for the director to explain I would be a super duper long shot (if I was considered at all) bc they’re actually looking for an MFA student but they didn’t outright say it in the listing

did I mention I switched to applying for my phd five years ago even though I originally wanted an mfa, I somehow thought a phd would be more practical

so then I went looking through all the job app websites I’m signed up for, and while I found a lot of openings for other specializations (ukrainian lit, italian lit, pre-1000 bce), I found maybe one or two for what’s considered the most general application of what I do

and they were both for military academies :’D which I really, uh, don’t want to work at

so then I was like “okay, boot and rally, it’s gonna be fine, let’s just finally get the committee together” and sent out an email being like “hey guys we still haven’t decided on a date to meet and it’s like month 2 of the semester, how about [x day]” bc I’m feeling really unsteady about my dissertation and I’m under a lot of pressure from my dad to finish as soon as possible, so I’ve been trying to get ahold of them for weeks now it feels like

only for my new chair to immediately be like “nope sry”

so then I got home (an hour later) (I still only live ten minutes away) and realized that I think my best friend since I was little forgot to send me a birthday present when she usually always remembers

which she’s not obligated to do obviously, we’re both adults and she’s had some stuff going on, but between that and the fact that the two friends whom I supported through their dissertation/defense periods have just, like, left - one is on the other side of the world, one might as well be - I just got feeling very lonely :’D as much as I love all my friends in my phone, it’s just kind of hard sometimes in meatspace. no one else in my family has been to graduate school before (hell, I’m the second person in my immediate family to graduate from college and the first to not fail out temporarily in the process) and sometimes I feel weird talking to my non-grad irl friends bc they treat me like I’m still in college/don’t have a real job yet (they don’t mean to, it’s just how people think of grad school in the states), so. yeah.

…and then the scary possession movie I rented to feel better turned out to be a conservative religious propaganda movie in disguise, which was just the cherry on top

(that’s the last time I rent a movie without checking imdb first)

but then the next day was better: my committee chair swung by my desk himself (we work across the hall from one another) and hung out and talked me through some of my biggest worries for a bit (and even said he liked my chapter, which was amazing bc I was afraid it was hot garbage), and my boss was really nice and gave me some cake balls from the local bakery for a belated birthday present (I can’t eat them due to food allergies but the thought counts!!), and I actually drove myself to work instead of taking one of the buses, which shouldn’t be a big deal but is for me bc I hate driving anywhere after a bad accident I had a few years ago :’D then my committee members emailed me like “hey how about next week!!” and I was like “oh phew okay” and found out one of them hasn’t been avoiding me, he’s just on teaching leave for the semester lmao (he’d sent me comments first and I hadn’t seen him since, so I was like “omg was it that bad” even though his comments were fairly chill) so I guess my lesson for the week is that I just need to be patient and let things work out

…then this morning I woke up with a migraine :’D but it’s not the worst one I’ve had so far, so. it evens out I guess!!

anyway, sorry to hurgle all this at you after your super nice ask, it’s just been A Lot. if you read this far, you’re a saint and I love you 😂🖤

cheers to the rest of this week looking better!! hopefully!!! knock on wood!!!

so like i don’t want to give too much away bc i’m writing it and so… yeah BUT here’s some rtc superhero au Content. all content is now under ⚔ when all else is lost the future still remains our own ⚔ (YES it's names after a eurovision song lyric what're you gonna do) so it’s clear it’s my version and i’m not attributing someone else’s ideas to me!!! and if you want to backread, please look at that tag bc all the info is on there!!!

so the “duos” are: noel and ocean (heroes), constance and mischa (villains), and savannah potts (she’s mtf) and penny (they’re enablers and they’re dating and they Do Not Have Powers (wink))

it’s set in new york!! noel ocean and savannah are in their second year at hunter college, and bc of plot reasons they may not be the only characters who join (i’m going to make sure that one never does tho!!)

ocean and noel have known each other since middle school, but they sorta really hated each other until junior year when ocean accidentally discovered her powers. noel was like ‘fine i’ve gotta help this bitch’ and while they do have some of that hostility from canon, by now they can have deep conversations and are sorta each other’s most trusted friend. also they grew up in montour county in pennsylvania idk why i know this or if it even makes sense but here ya go.

constance and mischa work at the cafe together!! constance’s family doesn’t own it this time but she’s been working there since her sophomore year of high school and she does genuinely love working in hospitality but there are some customers who make her want to slap a bitch. mischa sorta just… fell into working there when his mum sent him over last year?? so he’s doing that and he also got a job working at the gym (not definitive yet) bc my guy has super strength and he’s allowed to play rap music. (the way this works is that constance has seniority so she has a higher hourly wage, higher tips from regulars/people who haven’t been there for a while, and way more hours as opposed to mischa. although he has been getting more than when he started it has been a year)

savannah and penny have been together for like… 9 months and they are already engaged actually. like literally engaged they're just like "when you know you know" gag me with a spoon. these whores (affectionate) cannot keep their hands off each other they are sickening and they always hang out at the cafe. penny isn't at uni but she is there a lot to hang out with savannah. they met in a writing group, emailed for like three days straight, and went on a date soon after.

the group comes together in the civilian world really through savannah. she and ocean have a physics unit together and they end up being friends through a group (duo) project!! she's a new york native so she's been going to the cafe for like ever and knows constance super well by this point. ocean crushes on constance (but she doesn't know that yet). so then noel, ocean, savannah, and penny become a friend group so that works out. they chill at the cafe semi-frequently but also. they're broke sometimes. and they get cheaper items so they can give constance a 100% tip. in a cruel twist of fate (aka me), noel always has classes while mischa is working at the cafe, so they never actually meet until the fic. but ocean, savannah, and penny see mischa a bunch. in the fic they eventually ask constance and mischa to hang out like outside the cafe and join their friend group (the reason they didn't before is because they are awkward fuckers).

i know this isn't a lot about the whole... superhero content of the superhero au but it's relevant to *me*

fic title thing!!!-

Hey there demons! It's me, ya boi

I keep my closet free of skeletons (i am good at digging graves)

Hate to be that guy, but-

Not all love is good my dear

Does devil get nightmares of all of their victims as well?

Tim, and Cass, and Steph and a highway to hell

Hehehehe thank you! Here's 'i keep my closet free of skeletons (i am good at digging graves)' bc that title broke down my door and throttled me until i wrote something

TW: subconscious suicide attempt

Tim stares at the gun in his hand.

How long has he been sitting here? How long has he had it with him? He doesn’t know.

There's a strange, uncomfortable void in his chest that feels heavy, and every breath is a chore.

He absentmindedly flips the gun, fingers stroking down the barrel like it’s a beloved blanket. It’s almost jarring, how easy it would be. Flick the safety off, aim towards his brainstem, and squeeze the trigger. The cleanup would be horrendous, but what does a dead man have to care about brain matter and blood splatter? Stock prices would also tank if it came out that the CEO of WE shot himself in his luxury penthouse, and that, more than anything makes him pause. He wonders if his father had hesitated like this all those years ago, weighing up the odds and deciding that the Drake reputation was too important.

Wonders if like his father, he’ll make the same decision and put the gun back down, hidden in a closet and forgotten.

He should do the same.

Except he’s never been good at following the path his parents’ preferred him to walk on.

Frankly, the idea of putting it back and forgetting all about this makes something soft and tender inside him recoil.

He tries to think. Tries to convince himself that this is ridiculous, that it’s a one off, that he won’t try to do this again.

Tim is an excellent liar, but this is one lie that refuses to sit right. It makes him pause, fingers trembling against the handle, as he realises with startling bluntness that his promise to not kill himself is... a lie. And suddenly, Tim is quite certain that if he doesn’t get some sort of help, then he’s unlikely to be alive for much longer. It’s a jarring thought, given that he so very desperately doesn’t want any help; that his stupid brain wants to continue down this path until he finally stumbles across some sort of relief.

With too much effort, he forces himself to turn the safety back on. To let go of the gun and leave it in the bathtub. To get out of the bathroom and grab his phone. He studiously ignores the note left on his desk.

According to the time on his phone, Tim’s been in there for three hours, and apparently excused himself from work today with the excuse of a sudden illness. Tam has sent him numerous angry emails. Lucius has also reached out, his message professional, but notably irritated. Tim understands; he’s irritated too. Or is he? He isn’t sure.

Ultimately though, he ignores the emails, and instead calls a number he was given when Bruce was believed to be dead and Tim was believed to be insane.

“Dinah Lance speaking,” Black Canary’s voice rings out, clear and focused. Tim clears his throat. Hesitates.

He really, really, really doesn’t want to do this. But he thinks of a gun hidden in a closet, letters tucked away and forgotten until he stumbled across them. And he forces himself to speak.

“Hey Dinah, it’s Tim.”

I’m the one that sent in the ask pointing out sam and that girl had gone to the zoo, because at the time I genuinely did find it funny (still kind of do) that sam and colby were being so MESSY in such a public way.

Now, after realizing it was him and kats first date spot (and I do remember that now)…I’m so mad at him lmao. Like not actually but that’s just such a crappy thing to do. Especially where she’s gonna see it and has been tweeting about being so heartbroken. My heart just breaks for her. LA is a big city, he could’ve gone anywhere else. I used to hope they’d get back together but now I feel like she deserves better lol. I guess just a good reminder that men are trash even if it’s someone you love.

yeah i didn't know that was their first date spot. i knew they went there are some point, but i didn't think that's where he took her.

first off, weird spot to take someone on a first date anyway. and secondly, using that spot, AGAIN, with someone else??? super duper tacky and tasteless. sorry my guy, but there's no changing that.

and i feel bad for kat as well. she has gotten a lot of hate from fans ever since breaking up with sam, and it is completely unwarranted for so many reasons. she got so much flack for stupid boy and bs, but she had every. right. to make those songs.

and god knows when she eventually moves on, she's gonna get hate and get called a slut or some bullshit, while sam's off on his fifth fling or whatever.

and look, there is nothing wrong with either one of them moving on or having flings or doing whatever they want with their lives. that's their choices to make. but there's a difference between "i'm moving on from this relationship now" vs "i'm just gonna pretend you don't exist/pretend we never had a thing in the first place". bc that's what's kinda happening.

and this isn't even the first time sam is doing shit like this either. he literally said in an email for dumbandwise about how "breaking up with my girlfriend allowed me to really find myself and my confidence."

now, i can understand that maybe things became stagnant in their relationship, they both became stunted, and once they separated from one another he was able to build himself up again after feeling low. i get it to some degree. but maybe, crazy concept, don't tell FANS this.

idk, certain things should just stay private. and maybe this was one of those times.

I remember the whole Xiaoyu/Heihachi debate on the Tek subreddit as well. I always thought some people got weirdly defensive about that even though you had some great (and valid) points. It's like they become blind when the same logic applies to other characters/situations. And that's why I don't like seeing arguments on the Tek6!Jin topic bc I know I'm not gonna like what I see.. like people will say "yeah well *I* Like this Jin and I'm a Jin fan!!! He's never been a goody-two-shoes hero!!" If you like him in 6 that's all fine and dandy but truth is Jin was never like his dad at all and they tried to make him Kazuya 2.0 but they don't see that lol

I really dunno why there were some who got defensive about that. I guess 'cos there are a lot of Heihachi fans. But my point wasn't even entirely about how Xiao was affectionately a child abuser, power hungry, selfish, criminal "grandpa" and crying over his "death." But I was also just saying how it conflicted with her Tek4 depiction/story where she was becoming very suspicious of Heihachi after the email she received from Jin. It showed that Xiao, despite being seemingly childish, has a good head on her shoulders, and can be quite smart. Although never said, considering that Jin had disappeared for 2 years, and had sent her that email out of nowhere - she likely put two and two together and figured Heihachi had something to do with Jin's disappearance. Even if her ending is noncanon in Tek4, it's still bizarre for her to go back to being "I LOVE GRANPA HEIHACHI!!!" in Tek5. Though, Tek5 amped up her immaturity and naivety A LOT. I'm glad it seeeeems like they may be fixing that in Tek8? Hopefully.

When it comes to other websites, I am pretty much done with arguments about Tek6!Jin. I'll bitch about it here because Jin's an important character to me. But like, it really is pointless arguing with most ppl most of the time just because it's always the same. It's either what you said, or "well it happened so it's canon and that's just what Jin is now." OR worse "Jin's a Mishima and they're all bad so he was never really good based solely on that and not anything else his character has ever done." I understand maybe being interested in stories where there are "no good guys" - but that just wasn't what Jin was intended to be (idc what Harada had tried to say in the past)

Any argument about Jin's characterization in Tek6 can be shot down fast just by showing how he acted in the previous games, like I did a week or two ago, and how they're complete contrasts. Even if ""character development"" exists - there's no way Jin would've changed that suddenly and that differently. It's unnatural.

Anyway, people can like whatever they want. We're all entitled to our own opinions. But like, Tek6 is the opposite of why I fell in love with Jin's character. But beyond the issue of Jin being out of character and the "bad guy," he's just a bad character in Tek6. The writing for him was sloppy and inconsistent. His goals are ridiculous and farfetched, and has you coming up with better alternatives than starting a war. His characterization is all over the place as he'll go from "I'm going to mercilessly kill you, go fuck yourself and your dead family" to "I had no choice but to do this, I feel guilty about it, but what else could I have done?" Although lots of ppl point out his goals of ""saving the world"" from Azazel, as well as curing the devil gene, most people forget that he also did this because of CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS. Yes, there's a part in the game where he actually tells Lars that he took control over nations because "government bad" and that the people are terrified of those who rule with an iron fist. Because you know, Jin isn't just another tyrant ruling with an iron fist - in fact, even MORE merciless than the leaders of the world given that he's completely taken over the world and hasn't shown a lick of compassion towards anyone but his own goals. He doesn't even fake compassion ffs. It just SHOWS you how messy his character was even if we ignore what the character was before. It also further confirms that, yes, there was definitely creative differences regarding the character in the writing room.
