#like they all planned these roadtrips independently

[mossycobblestonewrites]

DC X DP PROMPT #25

Amity Park is seen as a tourist trap, like the whole town. No one in Amity is aware of this. All tourists think the townees are just really into the act.

One (or multiple) super families have decided to go on a Classic American Road Trip™. Which means they simply must visit all the tourist traps they see!

While in Amity, on a guided bus tour, there is a ghost attack. While the other passengers are thrilled with the commitment to the bit, the superfamily starts to become suspicious.

CG/Regressor Subtypes!! (Pt. 1)

(Note these are my OWN personal opinions/how I view them! Please take it with a grain of salt!)

Fatherly  CGs (note you are NOT required to ID as He/Him to use these labels!)

Papa CG (one of my favorite CGs)

Papa CGs to me, are sterner than Daddy CGs, but not as rigid as Father CGs. They offer a lot of gentle wisdom, encouragement, and a silent strength. They are prone to setting expectations (not rules) but then sometimes faltering on enforcing them all that much. But when they DO get fed up, OH BOY! 

They never punish or anything of that nature, but they do expect things from you. They are not wholly indulgent like a Daddy CG might be, but are more apt to let you have your own way than a Father CG would. 

They enjoy planning, keeping on a loose schedule, and mealtimes that consist of balance. They always make sure you drink water, but will of course let you have your iced coffee or energy drinks fairly often. 

They love giving treats when you deserve it, and driving you to get ice cream (Even in the middle of winter) is a huge treat even for them, because they love to see you happy! 

They love taking you on day or weekend trips, nothing too expensive but definitely a place that will be memorable! 

Papa CGs DO NOT need to be he/him to call themselves a Papa! Any gender can be a Papa!

Papa CGs are HIGHLY protective over their little one(s) and will never stand for anyone making fun of or bullying. They will also protect littles that aren’t theirs! 

Papa CGs always have your favorite candy on hand to reward you for a good job! 

Daddy CG

Daddy CGs are probably the most chill between Papa & Father CGs. They just want their little one to have the best time ever. They are just as silly and funloving as any little could be. They hardly ever get upset, and when they are the opt to just laugh it off or gently talk to their small one. 

They’ve never met a bad little in their life (except for a*usive littles, which are a thing) only misunderstood ones. They would rather get down to the root cause of what’s causing a little to lash out, then raise their voice

Daddy CGs also have expectations, but the main one is; Have Fun Kiddo! 

Daddy CGs LOVE to spoil you, toys, games, stuffies, colouring books. If you can dream it and its practical a Daddy CG will try and give it to you! 

Daddy CGs can often be taken advantage of because they are just so darn giving, so they have to be on the lookout for things of that nature! 

Daddy CGs will take you on the most amazing roadtrips & drives. They’ll just pick up the car keys and ask “Wanna go for a drive?” And next thing you know you’re two states over having the best pizza you’ve ever eaten (ONLY DRIVE WITH PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND TRUST THO!)

Daddy CGs LOVE to see you smile and will do ANYTHING to make you happy. They shower you in all the best snacks, drinks, etc. 

Father CG

Father CGs are the most stern, and even a bit reserved/hands off. They watch you with loving adoration from afar (But NOT in an inauthentic/uncaring way) 

Father Cgs love their littles just as much as any other Cg, they just love watching you be independent and tackle life’s problems head on! 

Father Cgs are always looking out for their littles in ways that the little one may not even be aware of. Such as keeping receipts for taxes, or making sure their car has a full tank of gas, putting away money to treat them later 

Father Cgs may or may not be big on affection

More often than not Father Cgs have a HUGE well of knowledge to draw on to help out their little one when they’re in a scrape/bad spot and love to give advice

Father Cgs can be a bit rigid in their planning or schedules. “It's time for sleep NOW, Little one.”

Father Cgs are who you call when shit is hitting the fan and you need honest and practical advice

The Molly Grace Drama (Artist Behind F.E.M.M.E.) Pt. 1

I'm sure you've heard the song "F.E.M.M.E." nonstop on TikTok over the past few weeks and may be wondering who this upcoming artist Molly Grace is. You may even be an avid supporter, all the way back from songs like "Lady Lady" or "Lover (Love Her)" (both written about the gf who Molly repeatedly cheated on - another artist named Amelia Day). Unfortunately, as fun as her music is, Molly Grace is not a great person and shouldn't be a queer artist we're uplifting.

I'm internet mutuals with someone who knows Molly Grace and her ex in-person (who I got these screenshots from) and LET ME TELL YOU. This stuff is insane...

Story told in text and also in screenshots and photos for those with limited attention spans (like me lmao).

The story of the most recent (and worst) time Molly Grace cheated:

It's October 9th...Molly Grace and her girlfriend Amelia Day had been dating for nearly two years, throughout being in college together and managing their careers as independent artists. For the last 6 months, they had been long-distance, with Amelia in her home state of Washington and Molly in Boston and later Nashville. But! Amelia and Molly wanted to take the next step, and Amelia planned to move across the country to Nashville, TN to live in the same city as Molly.

Now...the week before they would roadtrip across the US on October 9th, Molly went on a "business trip" to LA. She sent her girlfriend a whole detailed itinerary she made of the trip, establishing trust, although at this point, Amelia already trusted her completely. She was completely unaware of any cheating, past or present. But while in LA, Molly did a little more than business! She immediately hopped onto Tinder (which has been confirmed by online sources, screenshot below), while simultaneously texting her girlfriend about how she "can't wait to be able to see you every day and to hug you and smooch you and be best friends". During this period of time, she also calls Amelia her "wife," talks about how excited she is to pick out furniture with her, and how "the closer it is to when" she sees her "the harder it gets" (screenshots attached below).

And she says this, all while likely hooking up with people in LA and hooking up with / going on dates with Jules Paymer, another queer artist who she's been secretly flirting with and sexting over the last 9 months, unbeknownst to Amelia. They went on several dates and even flirted with each other publicly on Instagram. And their relationship was more than sexual...a playlist was found on Jules' account called "molly molly," made on October 11th (while Amelia and Molly were roadtripping) which has both incredibly romantic and sexualizing songs. SCREENSHOTS BELOW.

So, let's cut to the roadtrip! Molly was in LA from September 30th - October 8th and roadtripping with Amelia from October 9th - October 13th, where they talked about future plans, sang along to the radio, and...had sex (with Amelia not knowing Molly was exposing her to the potential STDs of her recent partners). During this time, Molly also made playlists about Jules (which have since been privated, so we were unable to obtain screenshots) and texted Jules during the whole roadtrip under the guise of "her sister." When Amelia and Molly arrived in Nashville, Molly showed off the photos of Amelia she put on her wall and Amelia began planning what furniture she would get.

Just two days after Amelia moved across the country for Molly, Molly texts Amelia about having a 'conversation' that night instead of hanging out like they'd planned. And then breaks up with Amelia, saying that she'd "lost the spark". Though just days before, she'd been calling Amelia the love of her life and telling her how excited she was to be in the same place again.

Amelia discovered pieces of this puzzle a month later and asked to have a conversation with Molly about it, but when she brought up the cheating, Molly said that Molly's interactions with Jules in LA were strictly professional. They just had a cowrite together! However...if we go back to that aforementioned itinerary, there's no mention of a "Jules Paymer" to be seen. And Molly's been seen wearing a Carhartt sweatshirt in many of her promotional TikToks that looks uncannily like one Jules Paymer has on their Instagram...hmmm.

Like I said...there's unfortunately A LOT more where this comes from. Join us for Pt. 2, where the self-proclaimed lesbian (only after people critiqued her for using the historically lesbian term "femme" as her song title) cheated on her girlfriend with A MAN in September.

Please share this info on socials with people. It's wild that we're platforming this person.

[dex-starr]

It’s time to talk about what I had planned as the big thing. So I had gotten it in my brain that hey dude you kind of just bought a car and you were told you were gonna get it. What’s a year of waiting so you could do a roadtrip for your big move with your person? Apparently it’s a lot of fucking time that is. So the big plan was for me to just have the initiative to ask you to join me on it. Just you and me something we finally get to do alone because we’ve always had our families there with us love ‘em or hate ‘em. I just wanted to do something big and something independent. I just wanted to be able to show off all the reasons I felt what I felt and you felt what you felt since I think we just needed to re-center on that. I know I did. Everything else was just so complicated at this point. Keep it simple stupid.

So with that road trip idea I had a few things in mind. Learn some songs to play you and get over being nervous about playing a song to you that you requested. And secondly hope I was healthier by this year too (I did become healthier but alas things ended). It kind of turned to shit because I froze having all this grandiose shit in my head to do but failing at what was immediately going on. But hey there’s ADHD paralysis. The second part of my plan was once we were settled in I would ask you to go up north because I owed you a trip with me since the start of it all. I still remembered talking to you daily and just being like fuck this sounds great to experience together. So we would do that. The first night I’d want to go on a hike somewhere maybe be able to see the stars together. I would just talk about how strongly I felt during that trip when you were talking to me and how that feeling hadn’t changed to this very day. That I know I come off as aloof and a bunch of other shit but god damn I think of you every millisecond it’s like the poochie meme. If you’re off screen then I gotta be talking about you and all that asking where you’re at. That like to this day I didn’t know what the fuck this meant because I was always in honeymoon phase apparently when I explained my feelings to people. Yeah I was comfortable but I was still there I just couldn’t act on it because of my problems.

So I wanted to say that I loved you more than anything still, this was a long time coming and I’m sorry I made you wait for so long. That I’m so glad you understood that I was going through so much too and just trying to keep it together and be with you. There is nothing that at this time made me happier and I don’t know if there could be. I know I jokingly said we’d marry and that we were going to end up eloping but hey I do want to marry you. So uhhh… do you want to have a ceremony or like do you want to elope and then have a ceremony after? Because like yeah dude I can’t see myself doing anything other than this with you. That’s just how it’s been. I knew you’d say yes to doing it, but I didn’t know if you’d take me up on the eloping portion. I didn’t care that I’d probably be fucking with your credit and shit like that I just wanted that name to be shared finally and for it to finally be a reality instead of just me saying it to you and you saying it to me.

But that didn’t happen and things went as they went. I didn’t not plan anything out. I really did and this was the most prevalent one out of all of them. The other one was planning something for Halloween or Christmas maybe making you something special to eat since you kept my foodie ass well fed. I had ideas and I know I felt how I felt then. Shit happened and well it ended in probably the worst way it could. I don’t think you imagined it ever going down like that and I didn’t either. I don’t think I ever saw myself freezing as badly as I did to the point where I saw everything tragic happening in front of me but couldn’t reach out and do anything about it. It was the first time in my life I like experienced this severe panic. I hope it’s the last time because I don’t want to be like that. I don’t want the bad part of my brain to control me like that anymore. I want to be able to say I can plan something stupid like this again

skip to loafer chapter 49 // general comments, analyze (?)

i'm seriously extremely happy with this chapter. in just a few pages, we could see how much mitsumi grew and how she's getting more independent and stronger.

i love when we have opportunities like this: seeing the character change little by little, developing together with the story. that's what sensei is doing with mitsumi, that's why she's slowly making things change, slowly showing us how she needed all these steps to finally open up and bring her new friends to the place she grew up. it is a strong movement, it's mixing past and future, it's showing how much you grew but still are the same by hear. and her friends are clearly flattered to be a part of it.

this part time job not only made mitsumi grow but also made her realize that life never stops. if she wanted to make memories, she should move faster, move "before they all disband".

i can't wait to see all of the gang meeting fumi, mitsumi's family and the place that made mitsumi who she is. she's special, someone to be treasured and everyone around her can feel it. that's what she deserves :)

also, just a general thought:

not only we'll have the roadtrip we've been waiting for, but we'll finally be able to see nao-chan meeting her family again. this made me wonder, what if her dad was thinking about this possibility?? she called them to ask if it was ok and probably shared her plan with them, about nao driving them there. mitsumi's dad a very reserved man and doesn't talk much, but him hiding his face + saying that about her friend group makes me wonder a lot of things...mostly: him being kinda emotional about his daughter's growth + the possibility of being together with nao again, to make things right this time. just food for thought, all of this only means next arc is going to be AMAZING!

🔅 youtuber!jung jaehyun x reader

🔅 warning: i didn’t proofread this :(

Hey! It’s been so long since I write on this platform. I hope you guys still like my work cause I’ve been working hard to get the desire to write again. Things has been rough for me mentally that makes me kinda lost the feeling of writing. But I decide to write again, yay! Oh and this work was inspired by an admirable travel vlog by Valspire Family where he went on a roadtrip with a stranger. I’ll put the link to the video at the very end of this work. Hope you like it, and I’m sorry that it’s not gender-neutral but you can use your own imagine from this one i guess :) love y’all.

Jaehyun swam through his e-mails. Okay, no more AdSense pouring in... He wondered. It seems like he needs to create a new content. So, Jung Jaehyun right here is a travel youtuber, where he often travels from place to place, all by himself. He loves traveling. He did it even before he discovered a whole new thing called YouTube. Yeah, that time, he travels by the help of his parents. As an abroad student, he relied a lot on his parents back in their hometown. So he saved some money to travel from close places to places before he eventually wanted to travel overseas as well. Jaehyun learned that he can’t keep using his pocket money to travel forever, he needs to look for a better way.

So when his friends told him to start a YouTube channel, he didn’t even hesitate. As luck sides with him, he started to look through his old memory card where he put all of his videos and photos of his traveling journey. He was so glad that he kept all of them, even though he would reminisce on how he almost drop his camera on a cliff while doing a cheap vlog. Jaehyun uploaded the videos that he edited at 2 am, after doing the assignment he got from college. Such a model student, indeed... And guess what? People love him! His first video got 10,000 views and 167 comments about how he captured the moment beautifully. He even gained 450 new subscribers on his first day of being YouTuber.

Now, after two months of uploading his old local travel videos, he gained more than 23,000 subscribers and thousands and thousands of views, he finally gained independent money from all the ad-sense he received from his videos. So, he’s ready for a new level of adventure, of course, on his own. “Where would I go....?”

He dives through the mailbox again as he only looks randomly at the screen, and suddenly a notification pops up to his surprise. “Y/n (surname)?” He clicked the new e-mail right away, unbothered to look at the subject line first.

“Hey, do you want to go on a roadtrip with me, I guess? this my number, 0xxxxxxxxx text me 🤙”

“Holy shi-” Jaehyun almost cursed before he closes his mouth, shocked by the new thing he discovered on the Macbook screen. A stranger, asking him to go on a roadtrip? Wait, is this real? Well, it has been one of his goals to travel with a stranger, but when he actually goes through it, his head feels like falling into the floor.

He typed the number on the dial pad and add the new contact on his phone. He clicked the message app but before he’s even able to type what he’d want to say, his hand shakes in nervousness. I mean, this isn’t the first time he’s talking to a stranger. He has several moments where he needs to ask some other students he doesn’t know because he has to finish the group project given, but this one feels so different. The thought of going with someone you don’t know if it’s a he or she, spending time with them in the coldness of the night, holding hands with them when you reach the top of an abandoned tower, or holding on an urge to kiss them when it gets too warm in the car... Well, Jaehyun is now thinking so hard when he doesn’t need to. “Okay, okay, let’s get this done. Ask her what’s up and you’re done,” He reassured himself.

“Hey, it’s me Jaehyun. I saw your mail. What’s up?” Sent.

“Okay, okay. That’s good, you did it. Now let’s just eat some chips before they actually reply-” A familiar notification pops up and he can’t push his head away from his phone anymore.

“Omg hi! That was such a fast response! Thank you so much for texting me, I’m such a fan! Uh anyway, i’m (y/n). I want to know if you’re interested to go to the national flower festival with me which is happening in 10 days and if we’re heading there by a van it will be a 4 days travel and we still have 5 days to prepare and tour around the city.”

“Fantastic. Sure. So when do we meet tho?”

“Tomorrow, I guess?”

“Sure. See ya!”

“So, what makes you so excited today, Mr. Jung? I’ve never seen you this cheerful around college since the first day of your youtuber life.” Johnny chirped at the young man. “I’ll be meeting someone new today,” he replied. Johnny rubbed his ears together to listen more carefully simply because he doesn’t believe that his friend’s gonna meet, possibly a new girl?

“I don’t know, john. They could be a he or a she. They only sent me a mail.”

Later that evening, Jaehyun finds himself waiting in the restaurant where she told him to meet up. He glanced at his watch as he waits patiently and he naturally feels like he’s going on a blind date. He holds himself not to order anything until the person’s arrived.

“Oh my god, it has been only 15 minutes but why do I start to feel like I’ve been scammed?” Almost a minute after he said that, a cheerful young lady walked towards his table and asked, “Jaehyun Jung, am I right?” Damn. This is real. “Uh yeah. Hi! Nice to finally meet you, (Y/n.)” He nervously reach out his hand for a shake and she gladly shakes his hand in return. 

“So, guess we now have to set some plan, do we?” Jaehyun said. Afterall, suggesting a plan making seems to be a meaningless idea because when the girl explained the route plan to the festival, he only got mesmerized, lost in her excited eyes. “Hey, are you listening?” Her gentle accent got him right back into his senses and he only laugh while scratching his nape awkwardly. “Woah, I can’t believe a famous travel youtuber like you aren’t that prepared for a kinda long roadtrip like this. Are you even experienced?” She teased him a smile.

“Hey, that’s mean,” he pouted. “I’m ready, more than ever, if you would know. But, well, this traveling with stranger thingy is kind of new to me so... bare with me, please?”

She smirked, “Hell yeah. It’s my first time, too.”

The two then decided to go buy the things they would need in the van. (Y/n) was the one to rent the van and it was decided when the two agreed that they can only afford an old small camper van fit for two people to sleep in the back seats. So they got almost everything such as blankets, sleeping bags, some little decorations to set the mood, and of course, some snacks and beverages. “I’m surprised that you hate redbulls.” Jaehyun teased the younger lady. 

“Dude, me being overly happy doesn’t mean that I drink redbulls... I only drink eight shots of coffee.”

“Damn, that makes sense, too,” he replied with a cheeky smile.

On the first day of a long drive through so many lonely highways, things weren’t going awkward, thank goodness. She comfortably talks to him like he’s an old friend, and he only replies with grins and smiles. It’s all good, until things got deeper as the sun emerges down the ground.

“Alright, let me set my other camera before we grab dinner.” Jaehyun shot up from his camping chair to the van after he set the campfire to warm them both. “Sure, indie boy.”

“Stop calling me that.”

“But you are.. an indie boy.”

“Okay, you won’t stop calling me that, huh?”

(Y/n) put her hand under her chin, looking blankly at the fire, reflecting so hard about how she actually starts to enjoy this trip, when she only meet him yesterday. “Hey, what makes you look so serious like that?” The man sat back on his chair after he successfully brought her back into her senses real quick. 

“Nuh-uh, do you really want me to think out loud?” “Oh, no thanks. Now I regret for worrying.” She chuckled lightly. 

“You know what, when I told you that I’m a fan of your channel, I really meant it. I’ve been a subscriber since you only have, uhm, from what I remember, 242 subscribers, I guess? And fun fact, I’m actually in the same major as you but you won’t notice me, anyway. I’m too quiet.” Jaehyun nearly drop his foldable cup when he heard that. “What? Seriously? You’re in the same college- no, same major as me? How could I- Oh don’t worry, I also am way too quiet for my own being. I don’t really make a lot of friends at college. No one really knows who I am if it’s not for my public channel.”

“I can see that you have such a nice personality. I always love how you expressed your hidden feelings through your vlogs. They’re beautiful.”

“Is that a way to say that I’m pretty?” He winked. “Oh come on, (Y/n). Just diss me like you’ve been doing for the past two days of us knowing each other better.” Again, she laughs.

“Do you know what’s the coolest thing ever in this trip?” She asked. “What is it?”

“It is how I made one significant rule in this trip, that is... to not fall in love with each other.” And somehow, Jaehyun lost his smile for awhile. “Oh, really? Well, it’s not quite hard,” he faked a smirk. “You’re mean.”

“Huh, actually, what makes you think that?” He asked sheepishly. He doesn’t want her to catch what’s happening, like how he actually doesn’t really agree with the ‘significant’ rule. “I don’t know. It’s just, my actual purpose of this trip was just to... you know, gain a friend. And that friend turns out to be you! And falling in love means you’re going to lose someone at the end and I hate to lose a friend I just gained from this trip.”

“Ah... that makes sense. But love doesn’t always goes into an end, Y/n.”

“It does,” she smiled with a visible hint of pain, and Jaehyun hates that. “I had the experience. I’m not trying to act like a sad bitch or something, but falling in love sucks. It means you’re ready for a freaking goodbye and farewell.”

He was going to say something but she cuts him up by getting off her chair, possibly ready to cook instant ramen for dinner. “Alright, my stomach’s grumbling. I’m boiling the water, and you, mister, help me open up the packs, please?” And when he looked at her pair of watery eyes, he decided not to say something and replied with a smile. “Yes, maam.”

The night gets colder and now both the youngsters are heading to bed– the back uncovered seats in the van. “So, this is where we’re going to sleep. As you can see, (Y/n) over here is alread inside her sleeping bag. This is going to be such a great sleepover, I guess?” He snickered. “Don’t lie, Jung. I’m gonna put a bug inside your bag tonight when you’re asleep.”

He turned the camera off and lay down beside her sleeping bag, dropping more blankets around him to cover his body better. “This is our first sleep, you know?”

“That’s true. We might wake up like dead.” She said something gibberish after that along with a yawn. “It’s getting hot in here.” She added. (Y/n) wriggled out of her sleeping bag to get more cool air but Jaehyun only looked at her with a weird look. “I’m curling my body into a ball like a caterpillar and you said it’s getting hotter? You’re unbelievable.”

“You clearly haven’t found yourself getting stuck in a snowstorm in Everest, have you?” “I am not that experienced yet. Have you either?” “Nah, I would die.” “Gosh.”

Jaehyun keeps his glances trained at the younger lady, wanting so much to feel the warmth of her body next to him, to warm him- or maybe each other. “Are you sure you’re not cold?” He asked. “Yeah, I’m getting comfortable- not really, actually. Urgh, what am I talking about...”

He chuckled. “Come here. There’s only both of us here, so practically, I am your heater. Besides, it kinda sucks that we cannot afford a van that has a cool heater inside. Uhm.. what I mean is.. do you want to cuddle?”

(Y/n) turned her body to face him. She actually shifted closer but Jaehyun caught the signs that she actually doesn’t want to show her consent. “Come here,” he said gently. “B-but, what about the rule?”

“Cutie, we cuddling doesn’t mean that we’re falling in love. We only need warmth.” Jaehyun put his arm around her without hesitance and she accepted his secure arms. She found herself getting sleepier than ever and now the screen in her sight went black. Jaehyun smiled at the peaceful sight, and he carressed her cheeks gently, not wanting to wake her up, as he says, “Now I’m actually glad that we get this non-heater van. I can become your warmth everytime.” That night, he slept with a smile plestered on his face.

The sun rises on sight better than yesterday as it prisms over the medium-sized windows of the van and light starts to fill in the narrow space, replacing the coldness. She wakes up first, feeling the ray hits her face warmly. Oh my, it’s already morning...

As cliche as it looks like, when she wants to get up she could feel a pair of strong arms securing themselves around her body. Well, she’s not that stupid to not realize who’s the owner, the only guy she has been with over the past few days. She wanted to wriggle out of his arms, but her brain failed to command her body when the heart does what it wants. And it gets what it wants.

(Y/n) feels something different when she’s about two centimeters away from his face, and it surely feels so different when it comes to only seeing him through her iPad screen. But she doesn’t get it. Why is he... so gorgeous? She was about to stare longer but then he opens his eyes beautifully. “Why are you staring at me?” She flinched, not because she was shocked when he woke up, well actually that’s one of the reason, but, actually, because of his raspy morning voice. They sound kind of.. angelic.

“Wake up, let’s see the sunrise.” She finally wriggles out of his arms and goes to open the door. The cool breeze started to hit her lightly, almost makes her flying aesthetically, as she wished that she could wake up breathing this kind of air every morning. “Well, I didn’t know the sun could look this pretty, and we paid for nothing at all.” Jaehyun stood behind her while doing some stretches because his arms were stuck cuddling her last night, not something he could complain about, though.

“Get your camera out, bud. This will definitely get you hundred thousands of view, I’m sure.”

They ended up playing under the warming sun around the van, the camera only watching them. It feels like they are owning the world and she feels so wonderful. She feels so blessed, and it amazes her that she could have this happening with a complete stranger, a young man that starts to fill in her empty insides. She was reassured that impossible things could happen.

“So where are we heading now?” Jaehyun put the camera on the dashboard while he stole a glance at the driver besides him. “We’re passing a small city near here and we’re gonna walk around to see if there’s anything fun to visit.” (Y/n) was so glad that she’s the one driving, otherwise she wouldn’t have any other reason for not looking back at his eyes.

“Or maybe we can just rely on Google.” Jaehyun added. “Nah, that’s just not fun. We still have 14 hours of free times before we have to catch up to the festival.”

“So, yeap. I think we’re being super rebellious right now, slowing down our trip, or maybe (Y/n) right here loves to stay longer with me- Ouch!”

They drove past the yellowish trees and even though it’s in the middle of the day when the sun’s supposed to be up right above the van, the yellowish sky around them doesn’t support the cool breeze Jaehyun feels whenever he put his hand out of the window.

“Okay, I’m trying to wake myself up! Ready?” Jaehyun chuckled before he wobbles his head lightly, preparing himself to press the play button. The girl nodded excitedly, trying a little bit hard to not get so excited because she’s driving. Jaehyun pressed the button and the rock and roll song starts to fill in the car. She laughed at how he vibes so hard to the song, and honestly, she never had anything like this. Chilling past the long highway with yellow trees and the hidden sun makes the whole day so calming. She truly feels so blessed.

“Hey, look!” Jaehyun pointed at a petite tea shop across the street when they both walked around the small city to take a break. The little shop looks very nice with a cute vintage look interior which is visible from the outside. “Do you want to have some tea, like the british?”

“Nah, we should just take some pictures there. I’m going to go get redbulls.” “Seriously?”

After nearly four hours of driving, the both of them finally comes to the hours of the sunset. They pulled over and set the camera to the angle where they can get better view of them chilling under the sunset, or maybe just playing around the van like they did in the morning.

“You know what, I think it’s gonna be pretty cool if we climbed on top of the car and pose to get some footages?” Jaehyun suggested. “Are you crazy? We can’t scratch the car, otherwise we will get charged,” she argued.

“Nah, who the hell cares? It’s not like they will bother themselves by checking all over the car. Come on, I’m gonna go first.” Jaehyun climbed through the back of the van and she only laughed as a response. Sometimes, he’s unbearable.

“Okay, you should climb up now.” Jaehyun reached out both of his hands to help her get to the top of the van, and when she did, she didn’t regret doing his suggestions at all cause, the view is so goddamn pretty. “Woah,” she murmured. They both sat down and try to enjoy the view despite the less time that they have right now.

“What made you want to go on a roadtrip with a stranger?” Jaehyun asked. “Um, I’ve taken a semester off this year, and I don’t really have any friends at the moment to spend time with, so... decided I could go out and gain some randomly.” She chuckled bitterly. “I wanted to do something fun. I wanted to go on a roadtrip, but that’s not very fun alone. So I was like, who is the most spontaneous person I can think of... and so I asked you.”

Jaehyun laughed with his whole heart. “It’s really crazy.” His dimples are showing through and she swears, they are driving her crazy. “And you followed through!”

“I can’t believe we’re doing this.” “I know!”

Jaehyun encouraged himself to look at her, this time with deeply moved eyes, and he now realizes that he really admires her young and free figure. “So, are we friends now?” She asked.

When she turned at him, there she goes, with those pair of eyes, looking through his eyes in return. Jaehyun flinched, shocked by how mesmerized he is by her every movement. Like how her hair moves along with the evening breeze, and how her eyelids stutter beautifully, also how her lips turned into a little smile when she opened her mouth. And he smiled back, “Yes, we are.”

Three days have passed and now they are gonna arrive at the city which is the final destination where the national flower festival will be held, how amazing is that. They visited random cities while taking a break, grabbing lunch at a motel in the middle of nowhere, and stopping by at midnight just to lay down on the empty big road to see the stars. 

As strangers, both of them have been going through a lot of things together, only in a few days. Though the ‘significant’ rule was not so forgotten throughout the trip, they can’t help but feel flattered by each other. The young man, who has been broken inside, admitted deeply inside that she had never experienced anything like what she has been doing with the complete stranger, and neither does the young man. 

Jaehyun knows that she is straight up serious about what she said. It was that one significant rule that keeps him held back, to not fall in love with each other. It kinds of frustrating him that he couldn’t touch her like his brain told him to. He respected her without a doubt, and breaking or hurting her would be the least thing he ever wanted during this trip.

The most ironic thing Jaehyun has ever think of is, how his main goal of this trip was to gain a friend. Now he doesn’t want to be just friends. He wishes for more than that. He fell in love with her.

“I can’t believe it! We’re almost there! I can’t wait to see all the beautiful flowers!” She holds the camera up to his face as he drives to the final destination in the city. “Do you really like flowers that much?” He asked.

“Yeah, they’re beautiful, calming, and entertaining. Whenever I pick one, I always got reminded that wherever you are and whatever you’re being, you can still look pretty and graceful. I mean, sometimes people step on some petite flowers on the street but that doesn’t mean they’ll look uglier and unworthy.”

“That’s true. I mean, look at you, still shining even though your surroundings are dark.” He instinctively moved his fingers to the side of her face, gently brushing her hair aside and she only stuttered nervously.

“Jaehyun,” she faintly murmured. “Okay okay, I know that you have made the one significant rule in this trip and I want you to know how much I respect you for that. I’m also very glad that I’m able to gain a friend like you but... during this trip,” he sighed. “I can’t help but think about you... more than I think I should do.”

She keeps her mouth close, not knowing how to respond to the sudden confession. It’s not like she didn’t expect this to happen, anyway. When it comes to the first time she saw him at the cafe, her insides turn upside down. However she kept it in her heart that she signed up for this not to look for a boyfriend or someone to sleep with, but a friend.

“What if I do the same too?” She replied with her consciousness. With that one sentence, Jaehyun steps on the brake so hard that their things in the back almost sprung themselves to the front and (Y/n) cursed. “What the heck, are you trying to get us dead?!”

“Shit, I’m sorry,” he said breathlessly before pulling over in the middle of the long road. “Gosh, what did you say earlier?”

“I said, are you trying to get us dead?”

“No, the other one before that,” he pleaded.

“Huh? W-what if I do the same too?” She tilts her head.

“So you’re saying... that you like me too? No, that’s too soon. Are you thinking of me too?”

She can’t help but chuckle when she saw his eyes grew big with excitement and... a little bit of expectation. “Yeah,” she replied. There’s a long silence after that and doubt starts to grow inside her heart but then... “So, can I?”

“What-”

He immediately attached his lips to hers, heart pounding so hard that it feels like he’s going to die because of the thrill. For the girl, his lips taste like... excitement? Happiness, and perhaps love?

A few people that she thought would give her sunshine and happiness actually have never been anything like this. She’s actually glad that his kiss made her close her eyes to the feel. No matter how much she keeps saying it, never in a way that it gets her bored to say no one has ever made her experience something like this. Kissing in the middle of nowhere, under the burning rays of sun, nothing other than the camera witnessing what’s happening between the two of them and it really, really feels like they are owning the world.

Nice. Now they’re in a motel near the festival as tomorrow is the exact time they would open the gate to all the flowers collected from all over the world. (Y/n) loves flower so much that she decided to check into a motel that has a flower pattern on its wall.

“You can’t just choose this one just because they have a flower pattern on the room’s wall! The review is just so-so!” Jaehyun complained.

“Hey, didn’t you say that wherever I go, you’ll go, and wherever I’ll be, you’ll be?”

“But I won’t be at the same place as you if it’s not guaranteed that they don’t have any bugs at all.”

Booking a room for two which has a twin bed, both of them entered the room, though Jaehyun had to insist to book a room with a queen bed, but failed miserably.

“I’m going to shower first.” (Y/n) goes to prepare her bathing kit and of course, her clothes. “Yeah, sure.”

While she showers, the man wondered if he should officially ask her out, since she said she’s gonna transfer schools soon which means that he might not seeing her again after the roadtrip so maybe an official relationship will make it easier for him to contact her often.

“Should I really do it, like, tonight? I don’t think I should,” he kept the promise ring he bought yesterday at a little jewelry shop when they stopped for a restroom break. 

Before they went to sleep, they spare some time to get a little cute footage for Jaehyun’s travel vlog. “So this is my bed, and that one’s (Y/n)’s bed. I chose this one because it’s quite far from the bathroom since I hate bugs. But you know, I don’t really trust her with keeping me from bugs and- Okay! Okay! I’m sorry don’t hit me with the pillow!”

“Pffftt! Pillow fight!!”

“No! Don’t- my camera!”

A goddamn eyecontact. Hands tangled against each other, eyes both stuttered in shock, as the girl with the pillow accidentaly fell on him. Jaehyun’s free hand instinctively hold her to prevent her from getting hurt, though his brain listens better to his heart, as he feels his heart pounding like crazy against her body.

“I’m... sorry.” “That’s okay.”

“Do you want to sleep with me tonight?” He asked, and later that night, the idea of booking a twin bed room seemed to be a meaningless idea, either.

“So everyone, here we are today aaat... not the exact final location we wanted to go to at the first place, let me tell you the story. When we checked out from the flower pattern motel we immediately leave to the national flower festival which was supposed to be held just 15 kilometers from where we stayed the other night, aaaand guess what?” he paused and you can hear her faint laugh in the background. “Yeah, there is no festival at all. HAHAHAHHAHAAA- Ouch stop hitting me! Are you that embarrassed?”

“That was what happened, everyone. It turned out that the festival was held at December 16, 2019 and before we started this roadtrip, she read only the date and the month, wow. How can you be so cute and stupid at the same time... I am sooo mad!”

“Well, they put the year 2019 sooo small and my minus eyes couldn’t see it- stop giving me that look!”

“Okay, so because miss (Y/n) over here was quite angry that-” “Really angry.” “Okay, she was really really angry for not being able to see the flowers so, I decided to take her to somewhere as an alternative destination. Am I being too good for you?”

“Yes, you are,” she replied with a smile. “Stop paying attention to the flowers! I’m also here, yo,” he pleaded, somehow nervously. “Why-”

“And this is why I kept insisting to take you to a place with lots of flowers... to pick one among all the pretty petals out here, the prettiest petal I’ve ever seen. So, be mine, please?”

the end of video.

foxes + onesies (5/9)

based off of that one post i saw and don’t remember, where people once caught Allison wandering around Fox Tower in a giraffe onesie, and i absolutely melted for her. here is the Foxes’ journey to getting a onesie each!

Nicky

almost immediately after Dan, Nicky gets his own onesie

like, two days after

and, as he finds out later from Dan, he ordered his first

it just got a little lost in the mail (that’s just Nicky’s luck)

the thing is, he’s completely jealous of the upperclassmen

not just a little; a lot

and not because he feels excluded (he does), nor because he wants to be belong (he does) or even because he misses those happy moments of childhood when everything was still easy (he achingly does)

no no

he’s jealous because he wants to steal their onesies and wear them all

he’s jealous because he just really, really wants a soft and silly onesie to wear

that’s it

it’s not a childhood memory (he never had one)

it’s not a self-care tip (he doesn’t think he needs self care lessons, thank you very much, he’s a very mature adult with 2 angry teenagers under his very adequate care, you know)

it’s not a grand gesture for love-

but perhaps…? oh yeah get this:

Nicky is always planning for the future

ever since Erik, ever since the twins, he makes plans upon plans upon plans

it’s not that he’s anxious about the future (a little bit, still, given everything that he went through)

making plans for the future is his way of looking forward to it, of not losing hope, of staying strong in the present

he’s got a lot of dreams

getting tattoos…

getting a tattoo with Erik…

or many tattoos with Erik, for that matter…

owning a blue or green vintage Westfalia…

doing a roadtrip across Europe… (with Erik, duh)

volunteering for humanitarian work in any country…

owning a ranch with lots of horses…

or at least having one horse of his own…

marrying Erik…

and don’t get him started on his plans for the very far future, when he’s sixty-seventy, in his shabby German cottage with Erik, his only neighbors being Andrew and Aaron…

Nicky is hopeful

Nicky is optimist

Nicky is excited for what he future might bring, despite the adversities that knocked him down times and times again

you have to give him that

which is why he starts planning for an event that is closer than he thinks:

Berlin Pride Ceremony, also known as Christopher Street Day

Nicky’s never been to Pride

not even in his time in Stuttgart, and certainly not here in the US

so when he graduates, and the twins are legally independent from his guardianship, you can bet your sweet ass that Nicky is flying back to Erik in time for Pride Month, and that he will be shaking his sweet ass in the streets of Berlin to celebrate his love

thus, he needs an outfit

he and Erik need an outfit

now, what screams “I’m gay”, “I’m proud” and “I love horses” ?

rainbow unicorn onesie

lemme say that again

rainbow. unicorn. motherf***ing. onesie.

that’s right baby

but once Nicky’s got a vision, a plan, he’s very picky about it

sure, once he’s in the moment, he lets loose and has fun and enjoys

but leading to it? very difficult

he searches every shopping center in the Palmetto area

he searches every shopping center in the Columbia area

none of the unicorn onesies satisfy him

so he resorts to online shopping

which he hates

online shopping, to him, lacks the true experience that is walking for hours, raiding stores and the food court…

a few Google searches, a couple of clicks, and his onesie is ordered

it’s… it’s very gay

as in, very bright and lively

the faux-fur is made of pastels of all the colors of the rainbow

the mane is hot pink and almost feather-like

there’s cute little ears, two cute little eyes, and a freaking yellow horn on the hood

it’s as if the Gay Pride flag had had a baby with Pegasus or Spirit the stallion of the Cimarron

it’s beautiful

Nicky’s already picturing himself with rainbow flag temporary tattoos on each of his cheeks, a rainbow bandana, his sweaty hand in Erik’s sweaty hand, singing Rain On Me and Born This Way and Single Ladies all day long amongst a safe and proud crowd

he can’t wait

he’s so excited

he’s also nervous to see Erik’s reaction when he receives his surprise gift

deep down, he knows he’ll love it, but he’s just a little scared still

and so Nicky waits

and waits

and waits

and waits

then he hears about Dan’s little stunt for Valentine’s Day

and he gets envious, because 1) she got to celebrate with Matt while Erik is an ocean away and 2) she got her onesie first, when he knows for a fact that he ordered before her from the same website

and then he hears about a special movie night the girls had where they all lounged in their onesies watching Hunger Games and the Avengers

Nicky’s getting very jealous

but finally, finally, when March rounds the corner, Nicky gets a package

he also gets an unscheduled Skype call from Erik at 4 AM (US time)

the screen just opens on Erik, in his onesie, jumping on his mini indoor trampoline

Erik doesn’t speak, he just keeps on bouncing

Nicky screams and wakes up the whole dorm

Andrew kicks down the door (literally, it breaks and falls down its hinges), Kevin can be heard yelling “WHAT THE FUCK” from his bed and Neil’s got one of Andrew’s knife

and the crash of the door wakes up Aaron and the upperclassmen in the other dorm rooms

the night ends (or the morning begins?) with all the Foxes cramped in Nicky’s room, watching Erik wordlessly bounce in his rainbow unicorn pajama and Nicky yelling “THAT’S MY MAN BITCHES”

needless to say, Nicky is quite happy with himself, and so is Erik

Nicky gets invited to the special movie night with the girls, on the promise to never wake them up at ass-o’clock ever again, even if he’s being murdered

oh, and somehow his pillow mysteriously gets stabbed and stuffed out…

[dirt-grub]

Dan and or chris for the headcannon thingy?

OKAY ONCE MORE FROM THE TOP CAUSE TUMBLR ATE THE LAST ONE

ahem.

Headcanon A: what I think realistically

Dan had a shit childhood and shit parents, and isn’t dealing with any of the issues spawned by that, hence why his life is kind of a disaster and his functionality as an independent adult is uh. subpar. 

Having grown up together and witnessed some of it secondhand, Chris knows not to bring it up too much with Dan. They both have an unspoken agreement and understanding not to approach certain topics with each other. They’re very good at reading each other, so Chris knows exactly how much he can actually get away with prodding Dan to act like a people for once, and vice versa Dan knows when to actually drop an argument when it gets into a serious place. Its incredibly weird for Elise to watch, and as incredibly close she is with Chris they have a very close bond that’s difficult for her to understand with how far back it goes. Also, in the beginning of Chris and Elise’s relationship, despite very vocally objecting to the entire thing when Chris was around, Dan begrudgingly gave Elise advice on how to speak Chris essentially, telling her what to avoid and what to talk about with him. He phrased it in a condescending way but we all know he was being a softie because he knows Elise makes Chris happy :,)

(also bonus every single roadtrip with all three of them ends up like this)

Headcanon B: what I think is fucking hilarious 

Dan is always visibly covered in cat hair. Trust me I’ve had a black and white cat before and you just can’t win. Whatever color you wear SOME of the fur will ALWAYS show up on it. You can always tell where Dan has been you just follow the trail

Chris’ gap/chip/whatever in his front teeth were the result of some dare. Based on a story from my childhood where we all dared a kid on my bus to lick the frozen bus window, and the bus jerked and he smashed his face on it and lost a tooth. Luckily irl it was a baby tooth but like that seems like a very Chris thing to happen even tho im sure its actually just genetic (also Brian if youre out there im sorry i laughed at you when you lost your tooth and im also sorry i stole your holographic staraptor pokemon card. id still have it if it wasnt for that miserable little troll bastard down the street who then stole it from ME a few years later. poetic justice i guess)

C: what is heart-crushing and awful but fun to inflict on friends

*cracks knuckles* i was born for this

Dan’s never slept a full night in his entire adult life, and has terrible nightmares constantly. His hypervigilance directly comes from his awful childhood, and Chris is his one single source of stability where most well adjusted people would have an entire complex system of friends and family to rely on. Chris is his ‘safe’ person -which I think is primarily an anxiety term but oh boy trust me is it a post traumatic thing also- The two have fundamentally different outlooks on the world and relationships, so theirs is pretty complicated, with Chris not actually realizing that despite the poor treatment, Dan has him on a pedestal in his mind that no one else has ever been privy to before. He has a damn shitty way of showing affection, but its revealed through his constant dependency on Chris and Chris alone that he holds him in incredibly high regards and would likely be devastated into complete nonfunctionality without him around. 

Chris has some self esteem issues with this and how it relates to his perceived importance in the lives of his loved ones. With Elise as well, he feels overshadowed by her talent and dependability, not realizing he’s the rock keeping both her and Dan grounded and relatively happy. Elise however is way better at communicating how much she loves Chris and genuinely both needs and wants him around. Also, I believe that Dan’s insane plots are some sort of an appeal to Chris in an outdated way- when they were younger they used to make those crazy plans together, as evidenced by the camp episode and mentioned a few times in passing (there was some line that stuck out to me in the gym ep along the lines of lets do it like old times, come up with a plan together) in Dan’s disconnected mind, he’s still in the past where Elise was never a participant in their lives and Chris and him were still immature and carefree, just the two of them against the world. In a misguided way, he thinks he’s inviting Chris to something fun and nostalgic every time he drags him along for something insane, not realizing in cases like the camp episode they were in the right and forced to fight back against something, and that stretching small grievances into huge meltdowns is an issue, the opposite of what would appeal to Chris now in his adulthood. Part of him is worried about him and that old bond being left behind if he doesn’t keep that very specific set of circumstances going. 

that got too long and psychoanalyzey lets move on HKDAUSL

D: would never work with canon but the canon is shit so I believe it anyway

TRANS TRANS TRANS T

this isnt as much a headcanon as an observation but dan has powerful new yorker energy (to me, the new yorker who never shuts up about new yorking). he just checks off a lot of the stereotypes and i wouldnt be surprised if the two of them had grown up around here instead of always living in cali like is canon. he checks all the boxes, rude, loud, opinionated, impatient, cant drive but complains about every other driver on the road, snobby in a weird despite living in a shithole apartment in a cesspool neighborhood, confrontational with complete strangers, colorful aggressive language, the whole thing. ive found personally that whenever im far enough out of state it is PAINFULLY obvious im from new york, given how im just naturally more aggressive in my speaking and mannerism completely unintentionally. Like, ive got a sailors mouth, i complain REAL hyperbolically, and until i noticed it it genuinley put people off who werent used to it HDUSALAS its just. the norm here. im not as angry as i sound lmfao i just talk real aggressive which is v dan

Road trip

Van + y/n + car = road-trip

Warnings: none

You’d started the road-trip in your shared home in Leeds planning on going as south as possible to St Ive's bay. You had been there as a kid and wanted to share the place with Van, both deciding as it was a six-hour journey you’d spread it out.

 You’d gone through Chester, obviously visiting the zoo, where you’d make fun of Van when he got scared of the wild birds that flew around freely. “Babe, no they’re gonna attack me!” He screamed at you making you belly laugh in hysterics. 

“Awww, is my boy scared of the birds?” you cooed walking up to him as he wrapped an arm around your waist. You tiptoed to look up at him at eye level before booping him on the nose with your ice cream. “Come on, I wanna see the elephants,” You said, placing a kiss to his cheek and taking his hand leading him towards your favourite animals.

You took hundreds of pictures of him next to enclosures, enjoying it when the giraffe tried to eat his hair. You saved these for your next stop, Llandudno, where you’d show Mary whilst Van cringed into the crook of your neck, holding you tightly from behind. You always enjoyed visiting Vans home town, seeing all the places he grew up and chatting to his parents about the stupid things he did back then. It made you feel slightly weird though, to think that at some point you had lived separate lives. 

You carried on your journey, stopping in on little old English towns, taking Polaroids of Van doing stupid things in front of landmarks. He was sweet and made the trip even better than it already was. Taking in turns to drive, blasting out new and old tunes, in the evening letting you sleep until we found a hotel which would take you without booking. You could say it spontaneous or unorganised, but we didn’t plan each day, only with the end goal of that childhood beach.

Every hotel you chose was beautiful, some of them fancy and posh but most were homely and quaint. The kind of thing you’d see on the cover of country home magazine, big stone cottages with ivy growing up the walls. The smell of fresh flowers in every room and soft crisp linens. The people you had met were sweet and kind, offering you to come and stay another time always commenting on how” Your such a lovely couple” and pointing out the Van looked at you with “lovesick eyes”.

The last stop before Cornwall was Exeter. It was a beautiful city, full of history and building’s that looked like they all held their own story. You tried to stay there as long as possible, meandering through the streets finding little book shops and cafes where you could spend all day in. The streets were cobbled and there were fountains in the middle of wide alleyways in which independent shops lined. It was the sort of place you felt as though you fitted in, withyour summer dress on in the heatwave and woven sandals. Soon though it was late afternoon and you wanted to get to St Ive's today. 

Van smiled at you in the car as you stared out the window, knowing how much you were enjoying your little adventure. “You're so cute,” He drew you out of your daydream. 

“I didn’t do anything,” You giggled, confused at his little comment, feeling your cheeks tinged red.

“just are, aren’t ya,” he glanced at you, trying to keep his eyes on the road but failing.

“You're so dumb,” you commented back at him, smiling to yourself, turning up the music and returning your gaze out of the window. It was a day of blue skies and you were sad to swap your city ambling for the car, even if it was with the beautiful boy sat next to you.

The sun was starting to set in the sea, golden hour and everything seemed hazy. The light streamed through the car window and filtered orangey tones through Van's hair and brought out the features of his face. It made you smile, leaning into the window on your side watching your boyfriend drive in this perfect picture.

He noticed your staring, moving his left hand to rest on your thigh, rubbing it gently. His touch was cool, unlike the warm atmosphere which surrounded you both from the sweltering day. It was still hot outside due to the unusual British heatwave and it had created the most picturesque evening. Every night on your road trip had been beautiful but now that you were nearing your destination, it felt that little bit more special.

You'd planned on catching the sea before it got dark, excited to get in the water and swim around with Van. The scenery had changed half an hour ago, from the motorway to countryside back roads. The sea was visible and as you got closer you could smell the salt in the air, filling your senses and taking you back to your childhood. Van turned into a little cove, parking the car, looking in your direction with a cheerful smile on his face.

You practically dragged him out of the car, grabbing the bag which was ready to go in the boot. Van took your hand, letting you walk him down the small path, following the signs towards the beach. The path was small and it weaved steeply down through the shrubbery and vegetation to your beloved cove. The sun was still high enough for the light to be a warm glow surrounding the two of you. 

“Look how pretty it is,” you sighed, turning to look at Van, who was looking at you with adoration adorned in is eyes. He looked tired from the driving and you smiled when he pulled you into his arms.

“Nearly as pretty as you love.” He whispered in your hair, slowly moving to tilt your face up to look at his. 

you giggled at his comment, leaning up to kiss him before running off towards the sea laughing away, carelessly discarding your clothes on the empty beaches soft golden sand. He ran after you, him to undressing on his way over to you, ending up falling over after his skinny jeans wouldn’t come off. Van wasn’t what some may say ‘smooth’ in your words more ‘goofy’. as he rolled around half-naked in the sand calling for your help. You, of course, denied him of that privilege, running away into the ocean.

It splashed into your body, toes wriggling in the sand as the water got deeper and you adjusted to the temperature. It was quite cold now but the air was hot, the contrast meeting each other to calm both down. You hadn't noticed, more interested in the water, that Van had caught up and was now behind you. He wrapped his arms around your waist, resting his head in your neck. Kissing soft lines along the collar bone, sending shivers through your body.

"you cold?" He asked you, making you smile because he didn't know that it was him making you shiver, him alone.

"no, I'm perfect!" You replied holding the hands which had met yours on your belly.

"hmm you are," he mumbled into your skin, quiet for a second before lifting you up, laughing whilst tickling and teasing you. He tossed you around in the water, shocking you half laughing.

"Vaan!" You screamed at him, trying to break free, prying his fingers off your waist.

"fine then!" He huffed, you realised what he was going to do before it was too late and he let go of your body, dropping you into the water. It was colder when your whole body was in and you were furious at him, jumping on his back, trying to drag him under, but obviously, he was twice as heavy as you meaning you did nothing other than making him laugh at you. 

“You're so mean to me!” You whined in his ear trying to drag him down, although now you were just wrapped around his back tightly.

"I could never" he huffed, staring into the sun which was now nearly gone, reflecting orange into the sea. 

"Thanks for bringing me back here Van," You thanked him, placing a kiss to his neck.

"Thanks for letting me," He whispered back smiling up at you. And in truth, you probably wouldn't want to share this place with anyone else other than Van.

A/n: So.. this is adorable hope you enjoyed cause, I actually want a roadtrip with Van now?! So I’ve had a couple of you lovely people send requests in and I just wanna say thanks so much! It just warms my heart up when you guys send me your thoughts and dreams I just wanna write them all down for ya! So once again Thanks my lovelies xx Em

night roads informal spoiler free review

bias disclaimer: I just finished the game so some of these opinions might change in the following days as I have more time to marinate on what I saw. I played as a brujah that wanted to side with the camarilla for stability and job security but was hesitant to compromise and tried to reason with all sides (until the very end, where I changed my attitude a bit). This is also my first CoG game, although I don’t think this is entirely relevant since I know each game is written by a different person, and criticism like plot and pacing only apply to the specific writer of this story.

strong points:

incorporation of a v5 sheet as the stats page: plain “you love to see it” moment. I think the v5 character building system is really concise and approachable and there’s no reason not to use it. Plus, if you ever feel like playing your night roads character in a ttrpg session, you can easily transpose them to another setting, or vice versa

how ingrained your character is in the world, who their sire is, when they were embraced, etc: look mates, in all honestly, i’m getting kinda tired of computer rpgs just being vague about every facet of your character. If I wanted to build everything from the ground up I’d just go play the ttrpg version, I like when games mention important things about my character like friends and family

all the cars: I like cars, and in a game about driving, I like that specific models were mentioned and not just vague descriptions

gangrel prince: i’m so tired of ventrue, and lettow was a really charming character.

how disciplines were handled: i still got a sour taste in my mouth over how coteries handled disciplines, and I think night road’s system was pretty solid. I always had a way to do things without disciplines, just relying on my raw stats (for example, throwing something far away vs throwing something far way with potence) and the hunger and masquerade violation mechanics carried over from the v5 system insured I couldn’t abuse them without consequence

banu haqim and gangrel in the character select, plus tremere and caitiff free dlc: i am BEGGING for vtm games to include less explored clans like the lasombra, hecata and ministry. Miss me with that “oh the games need recognizable clans” bs, vtm has been around since the 90s, we can afford to take risks

good relationship with your sire (on the brujah route): Pattermuster ily <3 i hate vtm’s tendencies for evil or absent sires, i really enjoyed reading the small flashbacks between my character and his sire and what they did before the events of the game

The constant reminder of time, the sunrise and where to sleep: It might seem like a little detail but I appreciate how much focus the game puts into where you character sleeps and how to find sleeping arrangements. Long roadtrips when you’re a vampire are tough!

weak points:

constant mentions to other vtm games: we get it, we’ve all played BL1 and we’re all excited to play BL2. Stop reminding me vtmb exists, it just makes this entire product look weak and like the author isn’t confident enough in the merits of his own writing. Stop looking directly at me and going “haha get it?? get it??? remember this game???”

how many times the game gives me an opportunity to side with julian: oh my god how many times do i have to say noooooooooooooooooooo i’m so tired of all the games being so heavily biased towards one side of the conflict, don’t give me options if you’re gonna spend the entire game going “but wouldn’t you rather be an anarch tho 🤪🤪🤪”

weird descriptions of fat female characters: idk how to feel about dove and donati because on one hand this game as fat women and the art makes them really attractive and they're never treated as jokes by their peers but on the other hand the author keeps referring to them as "heavy" and "big”. Dude just call them fat, it isn’t a slur.

how the text keeps telling you you’re just a random independent courier but then everyone asks you for favors: either my character is important or they’re not. Enough with the “teehee remember you’re not camarilla and never will be and we can get any other courier we want BUT ALSO please run these hyper specific and sensitive missions for us <3”

plot points taken out of the ass: love how everything’s always super vague until you get some deus ex machina crap right at the end. And the game just be like “girl wym you haven’t heard of the bozo exploits developed in the clown car by the circus clan”

weak romances: if you can even call them that

weak characters: i think the interactive novel is THE medium to explore character relationships and I’m so sad the game never takes that opportunity to have some proper roleplaying sessions with the npcs. I KNOW programming dialogue trees is hard but I wish I’d know more about these characters besides getting to the end of the game where it says Dove respects me but the only interaction I’ve had with her was a brief chat right at the beginning of the game.

muddy plot: haha what if we have three main conflicts but none of them get the weight they deserve <3 haha just kidding... unless??

TLDR: i think the game is just trying to be bloodlines 1 and not giving itself a chance to be itself. 5/10, i don’t regret buying it, i did enjoy some parts of it and i do plan to reply it to at least see all the clan origins but i wouldn’t really recommend it to anyone besides hardcore vtm fans who’d like to check it out.

[retvenkos]

Congrats on hitting another milestone! Could I please have 🔥for atla, the chronicles of narnia, and little women? I am bisexual and use she/her pronouns. I’m a ravenclaw and love reading, writing, and just generally being creative. I love music and going down rabbit holes into things that have very little meaning. I’m fiercely loyal and will over think everything. Thank you!

ATLA:

I ship you with Katara!

first of all, both of you absolutely hate stupid rules (which translates to almost all rules) and the two of you would find creative loopholes around them or just straight break them

i think that katara would bring out a lot of your outgoing side, and she would push you to be more extroverted, meanwhile you will give her reason to calm down and just chill for a while.

you are the creativity to katara’s raw power, and that’s an interesting dynamic. both of you are also incredibly smart, which means that the plan you come up with are legendary.

both of you are also optimists - hopeful that this world is truly good. and so your ideals match up nicely. you both believe in people and all that this world can be, and so you are not critical of the other when their idealism gets out of hand.

also, in a modern! au katara has the most legendary spotify. she listens to everyone else’s music on roadtrips and chooses the best of songs to add to her playlists, slowly curating the most expressive and wonderful music taste you will ever have the pleasure of listening to. when the two of you are hanging out and listening to music, you are always astounded by katara’s choices because they’re so perfect? wow. we stan.

and both of you are fiercely loyal! you would die for those you love and often get in a little over your heads in trying to save others, but it’s alright because the other would never judge you, because they’d do the exact same.

the two of you have a lot of similar ideals and goals, so i can see the two of you heading in the same direction and really loving each other.

Narnia:

I ship you with Susan Pevensie!

alright, so in a hogwarts! au the two of you are a ravenclaw power couple, and i really adore that idea for the two of you. you are constantly in the ravenclaw tower, pouring over your books and sitting with your hands intertwined. also,,, may i suggest,,, braiding susan’s hair while she reads.

i also think that your relationship would be really cute because you bring all of your creativity to susan’s life. she can often get bogged down in facts and figures, but then you show up, with your witty answers and creative ideas, and you spin her world in a really interesting way that makes her think deeply.

the two of you definitely write letters to each other. if not little notes around cair paravel, or left on your pillow, then long letters that you slip in the pages of books that the other reads.

also, i imagine that you are really good friends with edmund, too, maybe you were friends with ed first, and he introduced you to susan. i have this headcanon simply because the amount of sass there could be between the two of you is perfect. susan is a little more witty than she is sarcastic, but she absolutely adores your sarcasm because it never fails to make her laugh - usually at in opportune moments.

i also think that you have a bit of an adventurous streak in you that would be great for susan - we know she loves to use her bow and arrow and go horseback riding, so you will definitely do these things with her, but also sit with her in the more quiet moments, when she’s writing poetry or she’s doing her needlework. you both certainly know how to relax, and that’s good.

Little Women:

I ship you with Amy March!

alright, so you said you’re creative, and there is no one better to be creative with than amy! both of you have big dreams and big goals - and you are going to create your way there (literally. you’re both going to create wonderful art that will make for a dazzling future).

furthermore, you’re both passionate people. i have no doubt that the two of you will fight people together, especially people who try to dull your shine. you are so supportive of the other.

and yet both of you are also fiercely independent, meaning that you have a cute, friendly competition where you are constantly trying to outdo the other. with anyone else, this need for competition would drain them, but both of you are evenly matched, and part of the competition is admitting when the other has done better than you, and there’s nothing more devoted than that, in your opinions.

i imagine that since you are a writer, amy always jokes that you’re just like jo - stuck in worlds that don’t exist, but then you get to tease her right back, saying that her paintings are no less fake than your writing.

i also imagine that sometimes you and amy will play this game where you describe something from your writing - a character or a place - and she sketches what she thinks it would look like. it’s actually wonderful practice for the both you - you get better at descriptions and amy gets better at drawing and visualising things in her mind.

one of my favorite things about your relationship is that both of you are witty and unafraid to speak your mind - it not only lends itself to a lot of laughs and playfulness in your relationship, but your candor also leads to a lot of praise between the two of you. you’re a very verbal couple.

[isabeladraws]

this took longer than i wanted to, hopefully you don’t mind! i wanted to make a big thread of random thoughts that came into my head. i decided to answer this way so i can put a cut and people don’t have to read this ridiculously long post!

sunday and beckett pregnancy hcs 🌷👶✨

beckett knows sunday is pregnant before herself. during her period week he knows her mood changes and how horny she sometimes can be. her period is very regular and he knows what to expect and how to comfort her during it. but, it never came. he was busy himself and didn’t realise it until that time of the month was well past them.

“sunday, is everything alright with… you know.. your period?”

“what do you mean?”

“it’s late. your period is never late”

“i think it might be from stress of the games. it’s been madness!”

beckett didn’t seem reassured but he let it go. she knows her body better than he ever could. sunday however was starting to have doubts so she buys a pregnancy test and wouldn’t you freaking know it… it’s positive.

beckett knows when sunday looks at him after she takes that test. he doesn’t even have to see it to believe when she says “you were right… i’m pregant, b”

he hugs her like never before, lifting her off the ground, swaying her in his arms. beckett cries a little, sunday does too. the shock is so big, it wasn’t planned but at the same time, very wanted.

“only beckett harrington to figure out when a girl’s period is late”

“hey, it’s a great few days for said beckett harrington”

“well, too bad they won’t be happening for a while”

“i wouldn’t change a thing, sunday. i love you”

“i love you t- WHAT IF IT’S TWINS BECKETT????!! we cannot handle two babies at once, can we?? omg mom is going to freak out, and atlas… we’re gonna be PARENTS! BECKETT WHY ARE YOU SMILING, YOU NEED TO FREAK OUT WITH ME!!”

they only tell atlas and shreya during the first trimester. sunday knew atlas wouldn’t be able to keep the secret from shreya and shreya would figure it out in 10 minutes anyway. they’re happy to have someone to talk to about it.

it’s the 6 week apointment, sunday had only had a blood test to confirm the pregnancy and passed with flying colors. beckett was with her of course and they were excited to see baby.

the doctor found one baby and they smiled, everything looked healthy and 10 seconds later the doctor is like oh looks like there’s two! oh my mistake, there are three babies in there!

beckett didn’t faint because he was already sitting down. sunday saw her life flash before her eyes.

“what?” said both of them

“yeap, three heartbeats, it’s too early to tell if they might be identical or not”

“are you absolutely sure, doctor?” asked beckett

and the doctor showed them in the ultrassoung machine, three black voids filled with a white dot each and their pulsing hearts. they were having triplets.

i believe pregnancy with multiples need to monitored way more often than ones with just one baby so regular appts for these two. beckett hates missing them but they’re both busy

beckett would still be studying and working freelance (i still have no concrete idea what his job would be, maybe something with writing/research?)

sunday is told to slow things down so she takes a break from the team before quitting altogether 

i haven’t decided on the triplets birthday yet but i’m leaning torwards scorpio/sagittarius season (maybe aries season too?)

beckett and sunday still travel quite a bit 

sunday feels pretty great for the most part, i think the hardest part of her pregnancy is towards the end

beck really wanted to take a photo of sunday each week and see the growth of their babies;  he made a whole album with his thoughts and hopes for their family and gave it to sunday after the babies were born

they travelled to quite a few places during the 9 months, maybe 6 to 7 different locations. sunday being at home more and feeling pretty good during the 2nd trimester they took a few roadtrips to places close to them

atlas and shreya moved out of their shared apt so beckett moved in with sunday right before they found out they were pregnant

i don’t know if they’d be married at this point in time or not

they would have been living together before getting pregnant, sunday would spend most of her time at beckett’s place but she wasn’t “officially” moved in because she travelled quite a bit due to thief and the games 

to me, for some reason, their lives seem hectic and busy af after graduating, everything happens at once for them

getting signed with a thief team, beckett getting acknowledged for his skills and scoring independent jobs and working on his masters, sunday is travelling all the time

i feel like beckett one day, in the midst of all the business, while they were still half asleep in bed was just like “marry me” and sunday thought she was actually dreaming. there was no way this boy was asking her to marry him right now 

“what” she kinda giggled “marry me” he sounded so serious she woke up and sit up

they stayed in silence just staring at each other for a while until they started smilling and the thought really sank in, it was barely morning 

“sunday, marry me” 

“i think i’ll need to hear that again a few more times”

did they elope later that afternoon?? WHO KNOWS 

back to your scheduled programming of pregnancy with triplets:

sunday got real swolen, painfully swolen at some point in time. 

weird cravings of butternut squash everything. beckett became quite good at using it in a variety of recipes

sunday really missed her job during her pregnancy and felt quite lost. she felt her only purpose was to carry these kids around and moan back pain every 5 minutes. 

but she also realised she didn’t want to do thief after becoming a mother. that chapter felt like it was closing for her and she needed to take a step foward into a new career path (i have yet to figure it out)

very cranky and moody sunday. she also hated getting advice from her mom on her pregnancy. it would just annoy her

atlas got real good at getting these two away from each other

god atlas as an AUNT wow

she really started to fear sunday at the end of her pregnancy like... the look sunday would give when she was pissed off ... oof 

atlas and beckett are the only ones sunday wanted with her when it was delivery time

i imagined it was most likely a c-section? would there be more “innovative” ways in the magick world to give birth?? 

moving on that’s not important

beckett studies pregnancy yoga intensely so he can teach sunday

tmi.. or nsfw... sex is pretty fun 

sunday thinks it will be 2 girls and one boy, the girls being identical 

beckett thinks it’s 3 girls

they restored their baby blanket atlas found and used it in the nursery

sunday and beckett did not find out the sexes of the babies until birth

(it was a bet. sunday was actually the one that was DYING to find out and lost)

shreya was the only one that guessed correctly (2 boys 1 girl) 

bougie ass baby gifts from shreya. special one of a kind super gentle lotion, shampoo. baby shoes, oils and butters for stretch marks, blankets with their names on it, literally you name it

there’s something about baths... sunday would never take them but it became nighttime ritual at some point

beckett is very aware of people’s names now that he has to name 3 kids and is VERY opinionated 

he even starts to question his name, sunday’s name, everyone else around him “you have a such a weird name sunday, what was theia thinking” “COME SAY THAT TO YOUR PREGNANT WIFE’S FACE, HARRINGTON”

sunday needs to pull a break on that for a while so they stop throwing name ideas for a few weeks 

they agree on marlow first, sunday suggests it and beckett isn’t much of a fan until he finds himself using it in his head. when he sees his baby boy he knows it’s his name 

they had one unexpected visit from the sources to congratulate sunday and beckett on the pregnancy and marriage. i’m pretty sure gemma called selene’s wood attunement.

sunday does not want anyone touching her belly but she’s kinda anxious about it so atlas is always ready to fight somebody’s hand off

god can u imagine these sisters coming this far in their lives, sunday is going to be a mother, atlas an aunt how happy atlas is to be able to see a future she thought would be lost after so many years of running from raife and the heartache and loss. I AM EMOTIONAL. 

doting aunt atlas like she SPOILS these kids to death

katrina might have a kid of her own at this point in time, since she’s older than beckett? sunday would appreciate her advice way more in comparision to her mother’s. (i could also see katrina not wanting kids but i don’t know if she has hinted either way)

beckett’s family has been a bit harsh when it comes to sunday’s job but she wins everyone over eventually so they do find themselves falling in love with her. they find sunday so warm and kind and easy to talk to. his parents are so happy to be grandparents of three kids no less, and are prepared to spoil them to bits. 

i can see her with the harringtons spending the summer together, his mother talking about when beckett was a baby himself which seemed not that long ago. 

the boys share a room in their grandparent’s house while selene has one of her own once they’re about 5/6 years old. while they’re toddlers, they do sleep in the same room together. 

they really do dote on these kids. beckett has never seen them this affectionate before in his life. 

beckett’s father and jett bond very nicely. both are a fan of sports. 

zeph and griff give sunday and beck so many delicious homecooked meals they can freeze for after birth but also to eat whenever they want. 

zeph got the tendency of showing up like “my abuela cooked extra this week so i thought i’d give you some for dinner”

they do not complain once. the meals are delicious

zeph really enjoys babysitting the kiddos, especially as they get a bit older and start to waddle around, speaking gibberish you understand but not really. the kids are really impressed by his water tricks. bath time is a mess (with him and in general tbh)

beckett and sunday have one big fight during the pregnancy. sunday is feeling lost and weird about her career, job, path in general and beckett always has something to say instead of just listening which frustrates them both. they fight all day the first time but can’t go to sleep angry so they talk it out during the night. neither of them has much sleep but they settle things down, beckett just listens and explains where he came from, apolagizes, sunday too, they figure it out in the end. this comes up again but sunday just points it out to him what he’s doing and he’s like “my bad, babe”. 

sunday eats pretty much plant-based during the pregnancy apart from having a few eggs here and there. she has this aversion of meat, it sounds disgusting to her (marlow’s influence?) 

beckett sings to the babies a lot, sunday falls asleep to it often

i can see beckett having choir lessons when he was younger and actually being a pretty good vocalist

atlas buys baby things ALL THE TIME. goes jogging, sees a random store “oh sunday i found this dumb ass onesie, here” “i saw this arylu plushie and thought the kids would like it” “this muslin cloth has cat butts on it, let me get that 1 for each kid” sunday literally doesn’t need to buy anything because everyone is buying them baby stuff 24/7 

shreya planned the baby shower where they basically just asked for diappers and ended up with high-tech baby stuff, beckett was actually pretty intrigued by some of them

massages. everyone that goes into that apt just sees beckett rubbing some lotion on sunday and massaging some area in her body, feet, back, legs. towards the end it’s a must if sunday wants to walk around for more than 20 minutes without being in pain.

if you finished reading this, congratulations! here, have a 🍄.

this is already so freaking long and even though i feel like i could get some more hc’s going i’m gonna stop here and save any that i find important for another post. let me know what you guys think and don’t mind the typos too much  I’M SICK🙈

BAND // MUSIC ARTIST WANTED

As some of you know, I’m a film student and independent TV author / film maker from Europe and due to my recent project, I’m officially on the search for a band or an artist who’d like to contribute to the short film I will be directing in summer (hopefully). We’re planning on submitting the finished film to national and international festivals.

Since the story evolves around a rather unexpected roadtrip between a famous musician and one of his fans, it’d be a shame if we couldn’t pick up on the music because it plays a vital part in both of their lives.

So, at the moment I am looking for an artist who could imagine to feature one of their songs with me and my team. We’re looking for a re-occuring theme, meaning a rockish version and an acoustic one for the softer moments. The band of our protagonist belongs to the Glam Rock / Glam Metal scene, so the closer we can find a sound to that, the better!

As I said, the short film is produced as a student project but in very capable hands since we’re all professionals. It’s a low-budget production and we appreciate every support we can get and also are more than keen to offer artists a way to reach more people with their music.

So, if you are someone or maybe know someone who’d be interested in being be a part of this, don’t hesitate to spread the news, ask for further information and get in my IMs =)

I’d be happy if I’d find creative people who’d help me to put my vision on the big screen in the way the story deserves =)
