pairing: jack eichel/connor mcdavid rating: T words: 10k summary: Lieutenant John Eichel of the United States Navy ā€“ Boston to his squadron and Jack to the people who matter ā€“ is reckless and cocky and too smug for his own damn good. But even Connor has to admit that the boy can goddamn fly. (Captain Connor McDavid, Royal Canadian Air Force, is by the book in the worst way, conservative and careful and liable to get himself killed out there. Jack shouldnā€™t be impressed by him. He really shouldnā€™t.)

Off-Button (My Hero Academia)
Pairing : Lee!Kaminari Ler!Bakugou
Tumblr media
A/N : oh my god who new scumbag could actually post again, it's a marvel. no but fr, i've been lurking around the tickle tags forever and reading all of yall's amazing fics and i couldn't help getting back into it, even for just one fic. this isn't tickletober, i do not have the patience for that (u guys having the willpower to make something new every single day is fucking astounding to me idk how u do it lol), but i hope u guys enjoy it anyways! as always, please like and reblog if u can bc i really appreciate the support :D enjoy!! &lt;3
Summary : Denki is incapable of being quiet during Bakugou and Kirishima's movie night they invited him to. Bakugou can't stand it, and decides to take matters into his own hands.
Word Count : 3359Ā 
REBLOGS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! LOVE U GUYS! <333
. . .
What the absolute fuck was Spiky Hair thinking when he invited that energy filled blabber mouth to their movie night.Ā 
Denki hadnā€™t shut up since he got into the damn room, his mouth seemingly going for an exercise run when the movie started and he got to make his own commentary. Katsuki was hoping for a nice, relaxing time with his boyfriend, watch a horror movie or two so Eijirou would snuggle close for comfort, and just all around actually enjoy his evening.Ā 
But goddamnit if Denki wasnā€™t just the right man for disturbing the peace.
ā€œHoly shit, did you see that?! That head went FLYING! It looks like someone throwing a football to a field goal! Wait, is it a field goal? Kiri, whatā€™s the difference between a touchdown and a field goal? Iā€™m not much of a football man, more of a baseball kinda guy. Although, Iā€™d never turn down tickets to the Superbowl if I ever got the chance. You know they have these huge performances in the middle of the game where famous singers take over the field and just go ham?! Iā€™d go just for that! But not if-ā€
Katsuki was going to become the next serial killer in a blockbuster horror movie if Denki didnā€™t shut his fucking mouth soon.
He glared at Eijirou, who was grinning from ear to fucking ear. Oh he did this shit on purpose. He hangs out with Sparky way more than Katsuki does, able to withstand his constant rambling in a way the short-tempered teen has never been able to understand.Ā 
Itā€™s not that Katuski dislikes Denki, though he would never ever fucking admit that out loud. He actually finds him funny sometimes, especially when paired with Sero. The two would probably make a good stand-up duo if Denki wasnā€™t the type to steal the microphone away just to ramble about every stupid thought that popped into his mind.Ā 
But overall, Katuski does enjoy his companyā€¦most of the time.
ā€œ-I mean I donā€™t hate vegetables, but Iā€™m not gonna pick them if I have the choice, yā€™know? Like if I have the choice between a beautiful bowl of pre-packaged ramen and a fucking green bean, Iā€™m going with the ramen every single time, no question. Oh, but fruit though? Thatā€™s a whole different story-ā€
ā€œHoly shit do you have a FUCKING off button?!ā€ Katsuki shouted to Denkiā€™s spot on the floor, feeling Eijirou give his shoulder a tight squeeze in return. Katsuki whipped his head around to find a disapproving gaze that really pissed him off. ā€œWhat?! This is supposed to be a movie night, but I havenā€™t been able to hear the damn thing for itā€™s entire fucking duration! Heā€™s ruining it!ā€
ā€œYou donā€™t have to be rude,ā€ Eijirou whispered with a frown. Denki had fallen unusually quiet, and though they couldnā€™t see his face from their spots up on the couch, they knew what that meant. Katsuki knew what that meant, and damn Eijirou for giving him the ability to feel empathy for others.
Katsuki sighed through a groan, pushing himself off the couch and onto the floor next to Denki. Both were quiet, just sitting next to each other and watching the movie together in an uncomfortable silence.
ā€œIā€™m sorry for ruining your movie night,ā€ Denki mumbled into his arms which were now propped crossed on his knees. Katsuki pinched his lips together, gaze refusing to avert from the screen.
ā€œYou didnā€™t ruin shit, idiot,ā€ he said, his tone much softer than before. ā€œ Our fault for thinking you could actually be quiet for an hour and a half.ā€
ā€œKatsuki,ā€ Eijirou threatened from the couch, his inflection enough to make Katsuki realize his mistake in words.
ā€œIt was a joke, relax,ā€ Katsuki grumbled like a teen to a scolding parent. Finally looking over at Denki, he started to feel his guilt bubbling to a boil. He cringed hard when he realized what needed to be said, feeling the words practically squirming in his chest with utter discomfort. ā€œIā€™mā€¦sorry. Okay? Iā€™m sorry,ā€ Katsuki rubbed his face anxiously, basically covering his mouth like it would make his words unheard. ā€œI just like watching shit in silence, alright? Nothing personal, you moron, justā€¦agree to disagree, I guess.ā€
Denki sat there for a moment. He was letting Katsukiā€™s apology settle in his system like swallowing a pill heā€™d never taken before. Bakugouā€¦apologized to him. Actually said the word sorry, and TWICE at that. He couldnā€™t help the smile that tugged at his lips.
Denki launched himself at Katsuki, throwing his arms around him tightly before Katsuki had the chance to realize he was fucking hugging him. Katsuki quickly shoved him off like he had a disease, but that smile never left Denkiā€™s face.
ā€œDonā€™t fucking touch me, Sparky! This changes nothing!ā€
ā€œYou like me!ā€ Denki beamed, repeatedly poking at Katsukiā€™s arm like it would make him realize it himself. ā€œYou said sorry, you apologized to me! Kirishima, weā€™ve gotta throw a party or something, bake me a cake--shit, bake Bakugou a cake! This is a real turn of events, my friends, a real turning point in our friendship if I do say so myself,ā€ Denki sighed happily, criss-crossing his legs and facing Katsuki with a wide smile. ā€œYou like me.ā€
Katsuki growled at the notion. He couldnā€™t even deny it, the bastard was right. But he didnā€™t have to be so damn smug about it.Ā 
Then, like his guardian angel was sending him telepathic messages on how to fucking destory this loser, he remembered something. Something very interesting.
Last week, Sero and Denki had been roughhousing on the floor of the common rooms over something Katsuki couldnā€™t care less to find out about. All he knew was that Denki had been the annoying little shit he always is, and Sero was finally retaliating against it and winning. He had Denki in some weird wrestler hold, his arms held firm behind his back as he kicked and struggled and refused to apologize for whatever annoyance he had caused.
Then, there was a screech. A loud one, followed by bouts of hysterical laughter and far more thrashing than before. Sero was tickling at his ribs with his free hand, fingers never relenting from the one spot he had a firm ticklish grip on. Denki pleaded and begged, and eventually with enough persuasion, Denki apologized.Ā 
Denki is ticklish, and apparently ridiculously so. This could be helpful. This could be vital.
ā€œI suggest you shut your mouth right now before I find that fucking off button myself,ā€ Katsuki threatened, his eyes peering through his brow in the way a predator would before striking its prey.
ā€œOh cā€™moooon, you wouldnā€™t hurt your best friend, would you?ā€ Denki creened through a grin before giggling with his tongue stuck between his teeth. Such a little shit, he was really milking this for all itā€™s worth.
ā€œNot gonna hurt you, fucknuts. But I am gonna make you regret everything you just fucking said,ā€ Katsuki growled before shoving Denki onto his back, the electric blonde letting out a confused yelp as he went down flailing. Katsuki kept his hand pressed firmly on Denkiā€™s chest, pinning him to the floor with ease as he clambered on top.Ā 
ā€œWoah, we turning this duo into a trio or what, KitKat?ā€ Kirishima chided in, having been scrolling on his phone for the past minute before realizing the action that was happening right before his eyes.
ā€œCan it, idiot. Iā€™ve got business to attend to here,ā€ Katsuki growled before turning back to Denki with an evil grin. ā€œYou ticklish, Sparkplug?ā€
Denkiā€™s eyes went wide before immediately throwing his arms around himself to protect his torso. ā€œNope.ā€
ā€œOhoho really? You seem awfully nervous for someone who ainā€™t ticklish,ā€ Katsuki wiggled his fingers in the air menacingly, like a predator about to strike. ā€œAnd if I recall correctly, Sero had you pretty fuckinā€™ beat the other day after you tried your luck annoying the shit outta him too.ā€
Denkiā€™s lips pressed together tightly, the corners wobbling in a vain attempt to keep from giggling already. He shook his head vehemently. ā€œNo idea what youā€™re talking about,ā€ his words came out quick, curling his lips under his teeth as soon as his talking ceased.
ā€œOh yeah? Well how ā€˜bout I jog your memory a bit; get that pea-brain of yours back up to speed, huh?ā€ Katsuki slowly moved his wiggling fingers down towards Denkiā€™s sides, the electric blonde unable to keep his giggles in any longer as they flowed out of him through puffs of air through his nose and a bouncing chest filled with butterflies. He swatted slapping hands at Katsuki's quickly, trying to both fight back while also protecting himself at the same time. His elbows stayed glued to his ribs while his hands uselessly bat at the weapons of mass destruction easing towards his torso.
ā€œNo, nonono nohoho wahahait,ā€ he giggled nervously, having yet to even be tickled but unable to keep it at bay any longer.Ā 
ā€œNah, itā€™s too late for that shit,ā€ Katsuki growled before finally striking, fingers pinching strategically at the boyā€™s sides right below his ribs. Denki screeched, back arching and legs kicking out behind his tormenter as he reached down to grip Katsukiā€™s wrists and try to push them away, but it was futile. Giggles poured from him with ease, interlaced with squeals when Katsukiā€™s fingers came just a bit too close to his ribs for comfort.
ā€œAhahaha! Wahahait, cā€™mohohon! Dohohonā€™t!ā€ Denki shook his head, trying to find any relief from that torturously funny sensation Katsuki delivered to him through gentle pinches and scribbles.
That was another thing throwing Denki completely for a loop; Bakugou was being so gentle. He expected rough digging, hard squeezes that would leave him gasping for air and swirling punches. But instead he got agonizingly tame, insanely ticklish pinches that had him already nearly pleading for mercy.Ā 
ā€œDonā€™t? Please, you asked for this as soon as you tried fucking with me. I was even being nice to you before, idiot. But noooo, you just had to keep poking the damn bear, didnā€™t you?ā€ Katsuki emphasized his metaphor by sporadically poking all over Denkiā€™s torso, at his belly, then his sides, up to his ribs, and even his chest, which Denki didnā€™t know could feel as ticklish as it did.
Denki giggled hysterically, squirming like a worm with his arms pulled close, basically giving up the fight and letting Katsuki do as he pleases. He knew he wouldnā€™t win if he tried, so he might as well let it happen until Bakugou tires himself out with it.
That is, until, Katsukiā€™s thumbs found their way into the hollows of Denkiā€™s armpits. Denki squealed loudly, his heels digging hard into the carpet with every kick as his head turned to try and smush his red face into the floor beside him.Ā 
ā€œOh, sweet spot, huh?ā€ Katsuki grinned, thumbs practically glued to that little spot under Denkiā€™s arms that kept the boy cackling and squirming like crazy. ā€œYou seeing this, Kiri? Think heā€™s gonna keep messing with me after this?ā€
Eijirou chuckled, phone now beside him on the couch as he enjoyed the show before him. ā€œOh definitely. Guyā€™s a glutton for punishment.ā€
ā€œYeah, well, weā€™ll see about that after Iā€™m done with him.ā€
Denki blushed deeply, turning his head towards Kiri and opening a single eye as best he could with his face all scrunched in laughter. ā€œKirihihieehehe! Pleheheease! Hehehelp me!ā€ he gasped for air through giggles, talking through his hysteria quite the difficult task. ā€œMahahake him stohohop!ā€Ā 
ā€œOh no, absolutely not. You got whatā€™s coming to you, gigglebox, and Iā€™m not interfering with him when heā€™s like this,ā€ Eijirou couldnā€™t help but laugh along, the boyā€™s laughter too contagious to help it.
ā€œYou could always help me, y'know? Cause you already know what Iā€™ll do to you if you donā€™t, gigglebox,ā€ Katsuki sent Eijirou a wicked smile, fingers still tickling the boy under him relentlessly. Eijirou blushed, before getting up from the couch with a sigh.
ā€œSorry, Denks, nothing personal,ā€ he apologized with a giggle, obviously not sorry in the slightest. He sat down above Denkiā€™s head, giving his hair a little tussle.
ā€œNohoho! You dohohonā€™t hahahave to do thihis!ā€ Denkiā€™s squirming increased before letting in a big gasp of air as Katsukiā€™s assault finally relented, though his arms stayed glued tightly to his sides. ā€œCā€™mohon, man, weā€™re friehehends!ā€Ā 
ā€œYeah, yeah, weā€™re friends, man. And no, I donā€™t have to do this,ā€ Kiri grinned before grabbing Denkiā€™s wrists, trying to pull them up above his head. Denki tried hard to keep them down, unable to keep the giggles to himself in pure anticipation, repeating ā€œnonononohoho!ā€ as he felt Kiri winning the fight for his hands. They came to a standstill when his hands were near his face, Denki pulling hard to keep them down.Ā  ā€œBut I kinda want to, yā€™know?ā€ Kiri giggled, giving Katsuki a look. ā€œA little help, love?ā€
ā€œNo problem,ā€ Katsuki smiled before bringing his fingers up to flutter softly at Denkiā€™s neck and ears. Denki squealed, high-pitched giggles escaping as he struggled to keep his strength, too focused now on trying to protect his neck with his shoulders. This allowed Kiri to finally pull his arms up above his head and pin them there by the wrists, Denki whining loudly and kicking his legs out in protest.
ā€œPlehehease! Iā€™m sorry, okahay, donā€™t tickle mehehee!ā€ He pleaded, bringing his knees up to drum against Katsukiā€™s back.
ā€œDonā€™t care, didnā€™t ask,ā€ Katsuki said before bringing his fingers down to flutter softly against Denkiā€™s armpits through his shirt, the boy squealing and screaming out a ā€œno!ā€ in response before falling helplessly into giggles and cackles. ā€œPlus, this is kinda fun.ā€
His fingers fluttered and spidered for a while, relishing in Denkiā€™s frantic laughter. Katsuki got bored of the flutters after a while, switching to pinching up and down Denkiā€™s ribcage with gentle precision.Ā 
ā€œNohohoho! I cahahahanā€™t, mahahan, plehehease! It tihihickles!ā€ Denki shoved his face into his now raised arm, trying to muffle his giggles and hide his flushed face.
ā€œDamn right it tickles, Iā€™m tickling you,ā€ Katsuki looked at Eijirou with a mocking shake of the head and a sigh. ā€œThis fuckinā€™ guy, amirite?ā€
ā€œHis face is so red, man. I think heā€™s embarrassed ~,ā€ Kiri cooed down towards Denkiā€™s face, giggling at the squeal his words brought.
ā€œIā€™m nohohot! Iā€™m nohohohot!ā€ Denki shook his head into his arm, squirming even harder and screaming as one of Katsukiā€™s hands came up to flutter at the open side of his neck, the other still preoccupied at his ribs.
ā€œHeā€™s tryna deny it, Kiri,ā€ Katsuki tsked before bringing his face closer to Denkiā€™s. ā€œYou know what we do to liars around here?ā€
ā€œNohoho!ā€ Denki cried, not sure if he was replying to Katsukiā€™s teasing question or just yelling out his preferred word to cry out in ticklish agony.
ā€œWeeeeeeā€¦ā€ Katsuki paused both his sentence and his tickling, his hands standing still in the spots they were last playing with. Denki continued to giggle through his panting breath, body tense in anticipation and eyes squeezed shut tight. Seconds passed and still, nothing. Curiosity killed the cat, but Denki couldnā€™t help opening one of his eyes hesitantly and looking up at Katsukiā€™s wicked grin.Ā 
Then, he screamed when Katsukiā€™s hands shot down quickly to squeeze at his hips, falling yet again into helpless cackles. ā€œ...tikitikitikitikitickle them!ā€
ā€œAhahahaha gohohohod! Thahatā€™s sohoho- pppffttt hahahaha! -stuhuhupihihid!ā€ Denki shook his head in protest, kicking and bucking his hips like he could knock off his tickler with one good throw. Obviously it didnā€™t work, and Katsuki continued to tickle him while staying put like he was riding a bull.
ā€œOh, you callinā€™ me stupid now? Do you really think thatā€™s the smartest move to make when Iā€™ve got you squealing like a little girl for saying some stupid shit earlier?ā€™ā€
ā€œI juhuhust said- gahahahaha nohoho! -thahat you lihihike mehehee!ā€Ā 
ā€œYeah and how did that turn out for you?ā€ Katsuki asked before scribbling his hands over Denkiā€™s waist, the boy screeching and giggling frantically in response.
ā€œBahahahad! Sohoho bahahahd!ā€
ā€œThatā€™s what I thought,ā€ Katsuki grinned before going back to poking around Denkiā€™s belly, a much easier task now that Denkiā€™s flailing arms were out of the equation. ā€œHowā€™s about we find that little off button we discussed earlier, huh? Maybe we can finally get you to shut your trap for once.ā€
Eijirou giggled with a shake of his head. ā€œYou are so mean, Katsuki.ā€
ā€œYeah, yeah, you love it,ā€ Katsuki looked at Denkiā€™s face, grinning at the blush he wore and the giant smile overtaking his features and making his nose scrunch up all cutely. ā€œAnd from the looks of it, so does this little guy. You enjoyinā€™ yourself up there, dumbass?ā€
Denkiā€™s belly bounced through his giggles, much softer than before now that he was just being poked at, but still frantic as his belly was very ticklish. ā€œNohoho!ā€
ā€œI think thatā€™s the word of the day. ā€˜No, no, no,ā€™ itā€™s all youā€™ve said since we started this shit. You mean that? You want us to stop? Cause hey, say the word and playtimeā€™s over, Sparkplug.ā€
For the first time since their little tickle fest started, Denki had nothing to say. Just a response of happy giggles and an even brighter blush that he yet again tried hiding in his arm.
ā€œWell would you look at that! Seems like our friend here has some sense after all,ā€ Katsuki smiled up at Eijirou, who rolled his eyes fondly. The redhead already knew Denki didnā€™t mind the tickles as much as he loved to claim he did, so he wasnā€™t surprised in the least to find him happily allowing them to continue the torment.Ā 
Katsukiā€™s pokes never ceased, like they were still on the hunt. ā€œSo, about that off buttonā€¦ā€ He hummed curiously, his pokes traveling all around his belly, sides, and ribs like in a search. ā€œOh, I know. How about riiiiiightā€¦here!ā€ He stuck his finger in Denkiā€™s bellybutton, scratching and poking at it gently but very obviously efficiently, as the blonde under him let out a loud squeal before his laughs fell silent. Just a bouncing chest and belly with occasional gasps for air to prove he was still laughing up a storm on the inside.
ā€œHehey, I think you found it! See, heā€™s gone all quiet now!ā€ Eijirou boasted, looking down at Denkiā€™s hysterical expression with a chuckle.
ā€œWell ainā€™t that a relief,ā€ Katsuki said, eyebrows shooting up when Denkiā€™s cackles and shrieks returned in a wild new wave. ā€œGuess we know how to shut him up now. Just a little tickle right in this off-button and weā€™ve got a nice night of peace and quiet,ā€ he said with a hint of sarcasm, as Denkiā€™s laughter had never been louder than now.
Finally, Katsukiā€™s assault ceased, giving Eijirou a nod to let his arms go. Denki brought them down over his belly protectively, rolling over on his side to curl into a ball of giggles when Katsuki got off and sat next to him.
ā€œSo, you still think I like you, numbnuts?ā€ Katsuki asked, grinning proudly as his boyfriend rubbed Denkiā€™s back.
ā€œEheheā€¦yeah, kinda,ā€ Denki looked at Katsuki over his shoulder. ā€œI mean, you did just have a tickle fight with me, man. Not really something non-friends do with each other.ā€
ā€œHey, not a tickle fight. I didnā€™t see you getting any jabs in there, did I?ā€ Katsuki said with a poke to Denkiā€™s side, the boy flinching with a yelp before scooting closer to Eijirou like heā€™d protect him from mean ā€˜ole Bakugou.
ā€œFine, a tickle attack then. Either wayā€¦ā€ Denki tilted his head with a smug expression, a smile still very present on his face. ā€œ...you totally like me.ā€
Katsuki rolled his eyes before getting up and plopping himself back on the couch, grabbing his phone to scroll like nothing happened. ā€œWhatever, idiot. Just know who youā€™re messing with.ā€
Denki giggled, looking up at Kirishima who shook his head with a fond smile. ā€œTrust me, I am very well aware.ā€
There was a comfortable silence between the three of them before they all seemed to realize at the same time, it wasnā€™t actually silent in the room.
The movie was still on.
ā€œOh fucking hell youā€™ve gotta be KIDDING ME-ā€œ
. . .
A/N : hope y'all enjoyed! im working on another fic rn but don't plan on that coming out super soon, y'all know how long it takes me to write sometimes and i've kinda been drowning in schoolwork lately. college is truly a different experience LMAO. anyways, much love y'all imma go do some homework and hopefully get some sleep tonight.

UPDATE: [Explanation + Revamp ]
(i do express some feelings in here that might be a bit of a downer, so if you dont want to read through that, i recommend skipping to the last three paragraphs <3 )
yeesh- hey yall i know its been- definitely a good while since ive posted anything on here, besides things that went down a couple months ago. and first, i want to apologize for not fufilling my goals to get this story out. its been- a very rough year to say the least, a lot of bad things and changes, some good- but its taken its toll on me pretty bad.
i havent forgotten about this story, though. i think about it all the time, i think about disrupt and artifact all the time, and i want to share their story with yall so so bad, but- im stuck in a place where i feel like its?? too late lol??? and i know its not but- i guess it got increasingly difficult over time to actually post things because i wanted to make sure everything was planned out perfectly, that i had a good story to tell and i wouldnt let people down- but the more i kept nitpicking, the more worried i got to even post anything in the first place. and thats something i still really need to work on, tbh.
motivation was another issue in itself- its very hard for me to stay on one thing for too long, especially if it requires a lot of attention- and my struggle this year with mental health made that even worse lol. so while i so desperately wanted to make content- i felt trapped and unable to actually do so.
but i say this all with a reason- and thats because i think im going to revamp this page and give it. give this story one more shot. its not even fully about letting yall down, its also- i dont want to keep this story inside me and never get the chance to tell it, you know..? and i- know the process will take awhile and my organization might be messy, etc- but atleast im telling it in some way- besides lol, i kind of need to tell this story to help heal myself too. i cant leave this abandoned, because its such a big part of me and i- yeah.
ill form a more coherent post when i finish revamping this page a bit, but- to those who are willing and wanting to stick around for how ever long it takes for me to complete my unorganized messy storytelling lol- i truly appreciate you all. it means a lot.
and with all that, off i go to edit some things! please make sure to hydrate and eat something if you can, today <3 your health is always important, mentally and physically <3 <3

Hello! Thanks again for your hard work! I wonder if you're interested in writing hcs about dfel boys falling in love with someone. Not necessarily x readers headcanons but something about how they would feel and how they would show it šŸ‘‰šŸ‘ˆ
hello and of course anon! i hope these are what youā€™ve asked for!
the dangerous fellows boys falling in love
ethan
- this poor boy would be a HUGE mess because letā€™s be honest here heā€™s never fallen in love with someone before
- whenever you look at him he becomes bright red and looks away bc heā€™s so shy around u
- he doesnā€™t even realize how bad he has it for you until somebody on his baseball team brings up the topic of being in a relationship and his mind immediately goes to you
- he never stopped thinking about you after that
- heā€™s not the best with words, so he tries to be around you a lot more. he doesnā€™t like the thought of you being in a place where he canā€™t protect you
- in addition, he makes an effort to talk with you a lot more. heā€™s generally much more open with you and tries to crack a joke or two just to see you smile
- if youā€™re in his class heā€™s not gonna sleep throughout the entire time for once
- whatever activities or hobbies you like heā€™ll try to pick up and learn more about it just to have more conversations with you
- would cut his baseball practices short just to walk you home or take you somewhere
- heā€™s absolutely whipped for u please be whipped for him back iā€™m begging
harry
- growing up heā€™s never dreamed of falling in love because of his parents
- he didnā€™t want to put himself in that type of situation so heā€™s always been very distant with the idea of love
- falling in love with you tho,,, was something he did not see coming
- but at the same time, how could he not?
- he loves everything about you
- he grows to relish the warm n fuzzy feeling in his heart whenever he sees you
- heā€™s always been a sweetheart, but with you heā€™s even more gentle and caring
- offers you his help every chance he gets, brings you a small snack everyday, sends you good morning and good night texts, etc. youā€™re basically his entire world and he treats you like it
- when heā€™s around you his headaches doesnā€™t hurt that much anymore
- he embraces his love for you and while heā€™s a bit nervous about everything because he doesnā€™t want to wind up like his dad, but with you, heā€™s more than willing to take the chance
zion
- this man has never once considered falling in love with someone since he automatically assumes that people just want him for his money
- so when you came along heā€™s suddenly dealing with this new weird feeling in his chest and this idiot immediately dismissed it as being sick
- he panics when the feeling doesnā€™t go away
- he realizes heā€™s in love the moment he sees you laugh and he realizes that heā€™ll do anything just to see you like that again
- he makes up random excuses to be around you more
- youā€™re going to get lunch? he insists on taking you out because ā€œyou probably forgot your wallet so heā€™s coming just in caseā€
- you need to go do homework? for the first time in his life heā€™ll go to the library because ā€œhe also had to study for that biology test on fridayā€ he never studies
- ditches all his hang out plans with his friends for you
- he especially loves teasing you because he loves the reaction he gets out of you but he never passes the limit
- he swallows his pride and tries asking somebody like lawrence what to do confessing for you because heā€™s just so incredibly in love with you and wants to give you the absolute best
eugene
- the moment he realizes heā€™s in love with you is when heā€™s trying to write a song and his mind is literally just you
- enters the first stage of grief, denial
- ā€œmaybe if i ignore it long enough itā€™ll go awayā€
- it doesnā€™t
- a complete tsundere, he acts like he doesnā€™t care but the moment you say that youā€™re cold this man is stripping for u LOL
- shyly asking you if you could hear his new songs
- gets flustered about EVERYTHING. he thinks youā€™re the most adorable person in the world and he hates it bc itā€™s hard to look at u without blushing
- he does extra stuff for you. buys you food, waits for you outside your classroom, and is always keeping you company
- he tells you about his dreams and goals, and youā€™re the first one to ever hear his songs. he gets nervous singing to you because youā€™re his audience, but when he stares at your face and sees how gorgeous your eyes are, he no longer feels anxious
- when youā€™re not with him, he becomes a bit more cranky and gloomy. he doesnā€™t like the small ache in his heart whenever youā€™re not around
- takes weeks to write a song just for you to tell you about his true feelings
lawrence
- dude has the same routine everyday
- all he does is go to school, study until 3 in the morning, sleep, repeat
- he doesnā€™t really particularly look forward to anything until he met you
- he has never ever considered the concept of love bc his parents refused to let him date, so his heart beating faster and his face becoming red whenever you were around was definitely a surprise. heā€™s not stupid tho so he figures out that he likes you pretty fast
- tries to ignore his growing feelings for you because he wants to prioritize his schoolwork, but he canā€™t help but stare at you a lot more
- once he got the opportunity he offered to tutor you on certain subjects
- takes you out on study dates in coffee shops
- yall donā€™t get any studying done LMAO u guys got too carried away with talking but itā€™s fine bc u both managed to get ur homeworks done somehow
- whatever you tell him he remembers. homeboy remembers every single detail about u bc he pays sm attention to u
- he's also whipped af u could muse about wanting something and he'll get it for you asap
- extremely patient with you, drops his own work to help you with your own
- he becomes one of your teacherā€™s assistants just so whenever he came across grading your work he can give you the automatic 100%
- heā€™s completely fallen for you, he doesnā€™t care about his parentsā€™ stupid rule about dating anymore. as long as he has you and can make you happy, heā€™ll be more than welcome to be your boyfriend
this was extremely fun to write, thank you for the request anon!

being the miya twinā€™s sister
w/ osamu + atsumu
wc: 772
warnings: atsumu landing on breasts, not proper writing
a/n: i got so inspired after reading a bunch of fics on wattpad so yee :D also im legit 100% sure this isnt gonna turn up in tags and im just gonna end up reblogging it. its like if i donā€™t post for one day tumblr starts to think im a bot or something and my recent works wont show up smhh
Tumblr media
Youā€™ve always sided with Osamu as a kid, mainly cause he always gave you food and Atsumu would always be a big meanie >:(
So for some reason, your parents entrusted you to their care for a few hours while they went to a distant relativeā€™s wedding, but like honestly you probably couldā€™ve taken care of yourself just fine, being a middle schooler you were easily able to rummage through the fridge full of Osamuā€™s food to munch on šŸ˜‹
Anywaaysss, they took you out cause you wouldnā€™t stop bugging them about how you were bored and soo yall went to a playground near by
ā€œā€™tsumuuuu, play on the slides with meee, pretty pleaseee?ā€, you asked said boi, looking down at your ands to act all cute and stuff lol. Osamu was lowkey confused and betrayed liek,Ā ā€˜i gave u all my love (food) and you repay me like this? i- what.ā€™ what he didnā€™t knoww was u had a rlly good plan.
Obviously, Atsumu was oblivious to your plan and was over the moon that his little sister who always loved Osamu over him asked HIM to play slides instead of Osamu. He immediately started boasting to Osamu and as u were climbing the ladder to the slide, Atsumu trailing closely, you put your plan into action. You stomped down on his face, repeatedly kicking your feet at his face to which he yelled at (osamu was definitely laughing in the background). then he fell off and splat into something surprisingly soft, which was a girl who had clearly gone through puberty early. She seemed to be fuming, yā€™know, mood swings and stuff and legit gave Atsumu the worst beating of his life. Guess who was cackling and doubling over with laughter on the sides? Yup, you and Osamu
It also happened that Aran was passing by and sweat dropped ta the scene, quickly running away to not get involved in it
Ever since that day, Atsumu never trusted you again, honestly at times he thought you and Osamu were more like twins instead of him and Osamu. But then again, he was glad not to the call his grey haired twin a twin of his. After all, his blood was too amazing to be shared with such peasants, maybe you were a lil exception... šŸ‘‰šŸ‘ˆ he still luvs ya yā€™knoww :3 even after all the mean things youve done to him when ganging up on him with osamu
But anyways, at the end of the day, heā€™s still your bro and you still treat him with love
He always tries to take advantage of it >:(
Or mocks you :((
Whenever heā€™s feeling upset, you try cook him his favourite but it never turns out anywhere near as good as Osamuā€™s, but at least you tried for him.. he actually really appreciates it, even if he might be a little annoying jerk and laugh at ur cooking at first
Osamu to him is more like tough love, will gladly punch him to get him back to his senses and remind him to keep going. but then his ego will just sky rocket :v
When Osamu is feeling upset legit none of you can tell it, unless he actually starts breaking down.The amount of times you've seen him cry? 0. The only time heā€™s been seen crying was when he was a baby, after he turned 3, he didnā€™t really cry anymore, so u never got a chance to witness his tears :p
When ur upset oh damn ur in a ride. Youā€™ve seen what theyā€™ve done to people who made u upset and they always comfort u in the best ways, but u seriously donā€™t want ur brothers hunting down the people who made u sad and forcing them to apologise and bow down at ur feet lmaoo. So basically whenever u get upset, u make sure to wipe away those tears before they arrive so they never suspect a thing cause u srsly donā€™t wanna be in the middle of the hallways with people apologising at ur knees-
When u do get caught by them, they will legit treat u like a princess for 24 h, i mean thatā€™s their goal but they kinda ditch it half way through. Osamu makes Atsumu be your personal comedian (clown) and will makke u lots of yummy food. They will watch any show with u and u have all rights over the tv remote but sooner or later theyā€™ll ask u whatā€™s wrong after they have finished pampering u lol. They want names boi, names. All in all, yall luv eachother :))

Happy Trivia Tuesday sunflower sister šŸŒ»šŸŒ» what are some moments in your writing that youā€™re super proud of?
aw jj! thank you! and happy trivia tuesday my sunflower sister!! and OMG this question IM LIVING FOR!! youā€™re really about to make me just GO OFF!!Ā 
i am taking the opportunity to talk about hazel and joe JUST BECAUSE i worked really hard to make it a good relationship between the two simply because of how different they are but how well they truly work so ~ ENJOY! <3
Hazel Parker and Joe Liebgott
so one of the things iā€™m super proud of myself for in my writing is actually writing hazel and joeā€™s friendship/relationship - and i know itā€™s not just a certain and such, but it is something i worked SUPER HARD ON to really develop and really delve into and really work on so that even when we get into postwar people are still commenting things likeĀ ā€˜yes iā€™ve always loved these twoā€™ orĀ ā€˜their relationship is beautifulā€™ etc, things like that! AND LET ME TELL YOU IT HAS PAID OFF!!Ā 
when i first developed the concept for writing The Soldier of Stars - none of my female characters had any relationship goal for the end - just because i say that and the love interest switches the entire time, so i told myself no goals - just write and see what happens - and well it sorta just happened.
for me hazel and joeā€™s relationship is strictly about the friends to lovers trope, but mainly the idea of, they have set foundations of trust, loyalty, love, inside jokes, humor, they understand one another, can talk about anything, comfort each other, be vulnerable - all the sorta things that a normal best friend would be like! and then it sorta just developed into an actual relationship - but i loved it so they stuck around!!
but every friendship or relationship i write has those factors in it - always.Ā 
hazel and joe was very much just a pure connection they had with one another - theyā€™re complete opposites, they live on different sides of america, and they donā€™t essentially really function the same. you have hazel parker, this pure, sweet, innocent, and soft-spoken sort of young woman and then you have joe liebgott, a sarcastic, slightly angry, loud mouth and opinionated sort of guy. but together? they both bring out different sides of one another that we normally donā€™t see.Ā 
joe brings out hazelā€™s funny side, more relaxed side and we even see her dangerous side around him such as during d-day when she gets into battle at brecourt manor. hazel brings out joeā€™s soft side YALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN - he literally turns to a soft bean around her, and iā€™ve loved writing it sm!! to be able to develop joe liebgottā€™s character past the normalĀ ā€˜angry, hot-headedā€™ sorta person and actually make him a human being - one with emotions, who is fiercely loyal to his friends, understands emotions, can be SOFT - that sorta thing. and it has been fun to write.Ā 
theyā€™re friendship and relationship has always just been about being open to one another, and not trying to shy away from issues that might surround them - they just know that if theres a problem they can go to each other, and that they always know they can go to one another.Ā 
and sorry, bit of a self-promotion - not really but idk what to call it, but just some comments from readers that make me just super proud and relate to this topic just because i canā€™t find anymore words and these comments fill in for it LOLĀ 
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF MY FAVS!!
ā€œ their friendship is one of the things i love most in this story.ā€
ā€œ he knows her so well <3Ā ā€œ
ā€œ this was so cute!! omg they are perfect for each other!ā€
ā€œ theyā€™re so in love.ā€
ā€œ MY HEART I LOVE SOFT LIEB!ā€
ā€œ you have no idea how much i love their friendship <3ā€³
ā€œ i love their friendship two completely different personalities yet share the same bond.ā€Ā 
ā€œ i love the friendship between lieb and hazel.ā€
ā€œ best friends you say? me refuses to accept.ā€
ā€œ the chemistry *side eye gif*ā€ LOL
ā€œ i swear, weā€™re all shipping them. theyā€™re endgame.ā€
ā€œ i am still waiting for lieb to realize heā€™s got it for her -letā€™s be real, heā€™s gonna realize before hazel.ā€Ā 
ā€œ the way you write joe and hazel is so amazing!!ā€
ā€œ I love their love <3ā€³
ā€œ i can see hazel sloooooooowly realising she loves lieb.ā€Ā 
ā€œ i love soft Lieb. he is the best <3ā€³Ā 
just some of my favorite comments throughout the series on joe and hazel bc honestly the two are soft and pure beans together and i love them - i could go on but these comments sum them up enough so iā€™ll stop LOL <3
the last thing i want to talk about is my use of...
EMOTIONS
in my stories, iā€™m really proud of how i have used emotion and how it has impacted the story - iā€™ve had readers saying before that the way i write using emotion has made them actually feel the emotions through the text or get emotional which is something i personally strive for as a writer! emotions have always played a big part in my life as a fairly emotional person so writing with emotion is something iā€™ve grown to be super proud of! and it just helps people really relate to the story i feel - whether itā€™s happy, sad, angry, upset - all of it - i just for me see it always as a way for someone to relate.
so really writing emotions iā€™ve seen such a growth in my stories for that specific reason, through simply writing emotions. i feel for me as a writer iā€™ve always wanted to make people feel the emotions i feel when writing, so really clicking into emotions and such is just something iā€™ve always done and it has translated to my writing :) itā€™s just a huge part of who i am!!
thank you sm for the questions jj!! sorry i sorta went off with hazel and joe - i love those two with all my heart and this question gave me the chance to really just go off on my love for them AHHHHHHH and the emotions i could go on but it is already long enough LOL thank you sm!!! <#

But thats because I, personally, am on the fence about the concept of monogamy. Like no, Iā€™ve never cheated nor experienced that in return - but the whole concept of monogamy and like that a person can love and only love or be with one person is WILLLLDDD and I canā€™t help but note that its a social construct that we, as a society, are conditioned to from the time we are born. Idk if that makes sense bc im high af lol but those are my thoughtsā€¦like to sum it up - cheating is fucked up and sucks, but at the same time its not all that surprising/shocking anymore, like borderline ā€œnormalizedā€ just as divorces are and shit, so I feel like bc biologically we arenā€™t made to be with one person lol.

Nah, too much paper work

Cancer, with my lil moody, sensitive ass
130. Do you like subway?
I did lol
131. Your bestfriend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do?
Story of my mf life lol literally all my exes are ā€œbest friends turned loversā€ situation, so guess it would just depend lmao
132. Whoā€™s the last person you had a deep conversation with?
133. Favourite lyrics right now?
Lol oh godddd; ok off the top of my head - Tupac - Keep Ya Head Up is what comes to mind; just a timeless song and the lyrics are still relevant/apply to this day and idk just really resonate with the message behind that song <3
135. Dumbest lie you ever told?
Idk, but it was probably SO dumb, and told to my parents lol
136. Do you sleep with your doors open or closed?
Either or, lately open so my cat can go in and out lol
137. How tall are you?
5ā€™6 mayyybeee 5ā€™5 actually lol
140. Summer or Winter?
Fall!!
141. Night or Day?
Def a lil night owl, always have been
142. Favourite month?
April and October for weather at least
143. Are you a vegetarian?
No but I try, and go through phases, Iā€™m definitely mindful the older I get and more focused on my health I become
144. Dark, milk or white chocolate?
FUCKIN ALLLLL
145. Tea or Coffee?
Coffee but I like tea too, just seem to drink coffee more regularly
146. Was today a good day?

Snickers

ā€œAfter all, what he had always wanted was just that: to know new places.ā€ -The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho

dreams donā€™t end atĀ ā€œ30ā€³
so i just had a little breakthrough and maybe this wont sound like anything to anyone else but i just have to share it
so iā€™ve talked about this before. about how my friend and i were both planning these personal development like goals for this year that covid got in the way of. and he said something, about how this is his last year in his 20s and he wanted to get some goals accomplished before 30Ā 
and i thought about that and realized something.
i have been feeling similarly about a few goals that iā€™ve been hanging onto for years and years. like iā€™m going to be honest with you, some people might remember this if youā€™ve been around here for a long time but probably not. anyway when i was in high school i really wanted to make music, sing, learn an instrument. and i did make some covers that i posted on myspace (showing my age here lol) and youtube but then i kind of gave up on it when
Ā 1) became 18 and realized my dream to go to NYC and pursue music when i was 18 wasnā€™t happening because of a million reasons (it was very much a pipe dream, right? i mean you canā€™t have that dream and not prepare for it and i didnt. also i was too scared at the time to even move out to my own place if i had the funds to do so because my parents wouldnt have really approved and i was still so under their thumb)Ā 
2) broke up with my musician boyfriend. which needed to happen. but he was the only person super passionate about that kind of goal at the time around me (till he ran lol)Ā  and he actually is still doing music now so good for him but basicallyĀ 
because of those 2 reasons i just let go of that dream all together as something i thought i wanted to do but wasĀ ā€œunrealisticā€.
but the thing about turning 30 and feelings like you needed to achieve all these personal/dreamy/goals in your 20s. what is that bullshit? why?Ā 
what changes when you cross over to 30? iā€™ll tell you one thing. media pushes movies, books, films, everything about people chasing their dreams in their 20s and ā€œsettlingā€ down in their 30s. whereā€™s my inspiring movie about the 32 year old mom who finally wrote a song and performed it live after being terrified her whole life of doing so?
Ā think about it though
in your 30s you. *might* have a better paying job than you did in your 20s. which means, if you can manage to find time or a way for it, you *might* be able to save a little more money or afford to do something like, buy that guitar and guitar lessons in order to learn to play and write a song and live out your dream in some way, even if its just learning to play so you can play at an open mic. and maybe youā€™ll like that and youā€™ll somehow connect with likeminded people and form a band. idk. your dreams dont have to end in your 20s.Ā 
you dont have to fall into the trap of your 20s are for your dreams that are so big you feel like the chance of achieving them is getting struck by lightening
and then your 30s are for fancy adult goals like buying a house, and going on a $10k vacation and those things are probably just as hard as the goals you had in your 20s but the world wont make you see it that way. its seen as ā€œselfishā€ to prioritize and budget for your artistic goals - but not a house. no thatā€™s responsible and what you ā€œshouldā€ do. but its ok to prioritize something thatā€™s going to give your soul fulfillment too! we need to believe that! because itā€™s true. we are not here just to work our jobs and live mundane colorless lives once we arenā€™t consideredĀ ā€œyoungā€ anymore (but 30s are still young. not what iā€™m saying)
Ā youā€™re always going to be chasing something big and if you let the world control what that thing is youā€™re always going to be on some rat race.Ā 
itā€™s fine if you achieve your goals in a different order than the world says you were supposed to. i got married young and had a child young, that was how my life played out and iā€™m happy with that because, yes, finding love and becoming a mother very much were goals of mine.
yes i dropped out of college because i couldnā€™t afford it and i couldnt find a major that felt worth being in debt for. and also, because hey guess what? contrary to what a lot of people will try to lead you to believe, college is not for everyone. and college does not = success. college drop out does not = failure. itā€™s just an option of something you could do with your life. AND if you didnā€™t go to your college in your 20s it doesnt mean you canā€™t in your 30s. or 50s. hell my husband, who did go to college saw elderly (think, 80s!) people going to his college as students! college isnā€™t just for 18 year olds fresh out of high school.Ā 
My 27th birthday is in 2 weeks and no, i have not yet to worked up the courage to write an original song from words to music, or have the courage to get on a stage and sing anything, or talk to a stranger, or publish any of my writing or art, goals iā€™ve had whirling around in my brain since I was 18, but, itā€™s going to happen. maybe this year. maybe when iā€™m 35, but itā€™s going to happen. a number is not going to be the thing holding me back.
that whole mentality ofĀ ā€œmy youth is slipping away i need to achieve all these dreams before midnight the day of my 30th birthdayā€ is so stupid and flawed and we all deserve to see ourselves, and our individual potential as more than that.Ā 
last part of this rant - one of the reason i even became so passionate about reignighting some of my dusty, old goals, that it turned out, i still cared about, is because i had a moment where i was like
ok i am a mom. i am someones mom. how will my daughter see me, as a person, not just her mom?Ā 
kevin and i always talk about how between the two of us weā€™ve both had a lot of quintessential young adult experiences that we look forward to sharing with her. like, quitting jobs, getting in car accidents, that one time i unknowingly participated in an illegal bonfire and ran from the cops then lied straight to their faces and somehow got away with it (literally my ONE act of teen rebellion), changing college majors like 3 years in (kevin), failed classes, tried cigarettes, etc like iā€™m ready, and hope that one day she will feel comfortable talking to us about things because weā€™ve been through things and have a lot of input and two different perspectives to offer
but further than that, i realized that i want her to know that her mom is a person too. i want her to know that mom is also passionate about writing, and music, and somehow tackled some of her goals in regards to that so that SHE can feel that SHE, too can do those things. and i know that, that is in part how it worksĀ 
because,
my dad IS an artist. my dad IS a musician. yall. my dad is SO talented.Ā  my dad is brilliant. besides his artistic abilities which include, drawing literal realistic as fuck portraits, sculpting, painting, playing guitar, bass, piano, mandolin, he also knows music composition, etc etc etc beyond all of that, he also taught himself fucking PLUMBING and ELECTRICIAN SHIT to fix things in our house growing up. like he bought a book. and taught himself. my dad. i grew up thinking that was normal but i realized not everyones dad can just tear down the bathroom and rebuild it from scratch down to the plumbing without being a licensed professional.
but anyway the point is - as talented as my dad is, he doesnt really pursue his artistic dreams much. and its sad. iā€™m glad that iā€™ve seen some of the work he did when he was younger. iā€™m glad that if i bring it up, heā€™ll show me something he can do. but he doesnt pursue it anymore really. my dad works an exhausting physical labor job but even he, as a 50something year old has fallen into that trap of like, i dont have time to draw, but he will scroll his phone and read articles for hours and iā€™m not shaming him. iā€™m just saying we all have this problem in the modern era of technology and social media and what not (hell i am writing a post on tumblr instead of my book right now).
but if timing was different and my dad grew up in a different time, where lets say something distracted him from doing the little bit of art and music that he did when i was a kid that i was able to witness, if i hadnt seen that. i wouldnt know that.. in a way.. thatā€™s in me. i mean, heā€™s my dad. if my dad could pick up a craft and work at it to be good at it, why canā€™t i? there are so many musicians and (kind unrelated but not rly - i think beingĀ ā€œself madeā€ is an art) business owners in my family. thereā€™s either some common thread in our genetics ORRRRRRRRRR just growing up around people working at and succeeding at those kinds of goals shows you that it CAN be done so youā€™re more likely to believe in your abilities
and i want that for my daughter. because even as an almost 3 year old i can see that she has a gift for music, and reading. and even if iā€™m wrong about that and she grows up wanting to do some other thing as a job or hobby, i want her to know, by seeing her mom do it, that she can achieve anything she puts her heart to. you donā€™t have to box yourself in because of your age or your sex or the fact that youā€™re a parent.Ā 
and your dream doesnt have to become your career. it can be a hobby and still be fulfilling. like yes, 18 year old me dreamed about some life in nyc singing in clubs or bars or whatever and being ~famous (lol) and that did not happen, but i can still get out there and play open mic downtown and get that love of music, and desire to face my fear of performing out of my system. maybe iā€™ll love it. maybe iā€™ll hate it. but iā€™ll have done it. and thatā€™s the ultimate goal.Ā 
sorry i went off but i had to get that out of my system and iā€™m very passionate aboutĀ

Hi Julia! Sorry if this seems like a lot, but I hope you don't mind me asking. To contextualize: Iā€™m about to graduate with a BA in Bio! I was initially pre-med for ~3 years of undergrad, but I realized I didn't have a strong interest in being an MD. Bc of multiple reasons (in part, a lot of anxiety), I hadn't gotten much extracurricular/lab experience in that time. After tons of (painful :() introspection, I want to go for a grad program after my gap year - (1/3)
but I wasnā€™t able to get into a lab this year (bc 4th yr, yk? :(). The most ā€œlabā€ experience Iā€™d gotten was taking some upper level Bio classes. Iā€™m worried about my chances of even landing a lab tech (or related) position to get experience before the next application cycle. I could take multiple gap years, but Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™ll have stable housing or be able to find a job in my hometown.Ā If itā€™s worth mentioning, Iā€™ve been a TA for a lab course, done some work as a grader, and have GREATLY improved my grades, but compared to my peers it feels likeā€¦ not much. The profs Iā€™m close with seem to think Iā€™ll still be just fine, but people advise doing much more than I did (which is completely understandable). I guess Iā€™m just stuck and frustrated w/ myself that I hadnā€™t done anything sooner. Do you have any advice on how to move from here? Thank you so much!Ā 
Hi anon!!!Ā 
Firstly, I want to congratulate you on graduating!!! (they really should just combine the words and make itĀ ā€œCongraduations!ā€ lol anyway) no but seriously, you got a BA to your name now!! Feels good yall.Ā 
Secondly, I was in the same! exact! boat! omg. you sure youā€™re not me from like 8 years ago? Because I also went into undergrad focused on pre-med, decided nope not for me, realized I wanted to go into grad school, but didnā€™t have a lot of lab experience (bc I had no idea where to start or what to do). I managed to squeeze in 1 semester of volunteering in a lab before graduating, but I knew that really wasnā€™t enough. It then took me 5 tedious months of searching before I landed a lab tech job that gave me the experience I needed (and also guided me towards my current field of cancer bio).Ā 
Just like you I was super bummed that I didnā€™t discover sooner in my college career what the right path was, but I was elated that I at least did discover the right path. Whatā€™s that one saying... the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago; the next best time to plant a tree is today. So take a deep breath, get back up, and tell that little voice in your head that you donā€™t have the time and energy to feel frustrated because this is the beginning of a new chapter, and you are gonna work hard for it, starting today!Ā 
Keep up the search for an entry-level position at a research lab (such as a lab tech). Along with checking the regular job posting sites (like Craigslist and Monster), also look for temp agencies, and seek out newly established labs (eg. PIs who just moved to your local research univā€“ theyā€™ll be needing a lab tech real bad and they probably have boat-loads of money as a new recruit. Thatā€™s how I found my lab tech job).Ā 
Hereā€™s a post I made regarding cold-emailing PIs to see if theyā€™re hiring (and not all of them post positions online; sometimes they find the person they want to hire first, and then post the position to make it official with the university. Something to keep in mind!)
Hereā€™s a masterpost of links to job websites specifically for scientists (hopefully the links still work; I havenā€™t checked in a while)
Another option, if youā€™re up for it, could be to move to a different location that would have more job opportunities for your field. For example, Seattle and California are some hotspots for biotech. Recently there was one cancer immunotherapy start-up in Seattle that was hiring 50 scientist positions at once. Check out Boston Universityā€™s Biomedical Workforce Data Report to see where the potential hotspots are in the US.
You can also acquire other related non-lab (but still paid) experiences, such as becoming a biology tutor and freelance science writer.Ā 
Utilize your network. Ask your friends, family, past professors, college alumni, etc if they know of anyone working at a place that could hire you. Someone could know someone who knows someone! Before I landed my lab tech job, a friend of a friend of my momā€™s had offered me an internship position at her research institution in Florida.Ā 
If your goal is a PhD, you can consider doing a Masters first to gain more experience. I know many colleagues in the life sciences who did a Masters first as aĀ ā€œstepping stoneā€ towards their PhD, and typically Masters programs are more lenient on requiring lots of lab experience. I have a post here about the pros and cons of doing a Masters before a PhD (US centric).Ā 
Other things that can ramp up your application include acing the GRE (general) and GRE Biology Subject Test (if thatā€™s the grad field you want to pursue). I know of one student in our pharmacology/toxicology PhD program who had very little lab experience but still got in because one PI in particular was super impressed with his perfect GRE score.Ā Some really amazing letters of rec and a killer personal statement will also help.
I hope that helps a bit. Iā€™m always here to chat if you have other questions or just need someone :) Iā€™ve definitely been in your same exact boat, so I know what youā€™re going through. It wasnā€™t easy or fun in the slightest bit, but I got through it, and I know you can too

20 Questions Tag Game - Writers Edition
I was tagged by the ever so amazing @alanakusumastan. Thanks Julia! šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’— (this is really late lol I kept forgetting about it in my drafts)
Respond to the following writing questions and tag me in your response! I look forward to hearing your answers as Iā€™ve always been curious about these!
1) When/what age did you start writing?
I started writing during the twitter fic era! What was the actual name of that site? It was an extension (basically) of twitter. Not twitlonger but? idk I dont remember lol
2) What inspired you to start?
I was in my Justin Bieber phase and saw a bunch of people writing fics about him on that site and decided to give it a shot lol
3) Where and when does inspiration usually strike you?
Watching a lifetime movie, sleeping, seeing a picture, my nonexistent love life, etc lol so like literally anything
4) Where and when do you usually write? Morning? Late at night? On the bus? In bed?
At night, but like early early in the morning is when I write my best content! So like 1-4 am I can write an AMAZING fluff piece.
5) Do you listen to music while writing? If so, what genre/playlist?
ALWAYS. I donā€™t think I can actually write without it? I create a playlist for every fic occasion. Each song is usually a love song but t create my playlists according to the vibe. Like if it was created as a love song but if I find a slow, slightly creepy cover of it you better believe itā€™s going into my stalker fic playlists
6) Which category do you like best? Angst? Fluff? NSFW? Other?
FLUFF. Itā€™s the easiest thing for me to write despite the fact that Iā€™m 100% inexperienced in the subject lmao
7) Which category do you find most challenging to write?
Angst, okay wait no... NSFW. Definitely. Like I can write a fight scene and ā€œkillā€ my fave OC, but sex? How does one even gain enough courage or words to write that??? (big props to nsfw writers like i have so much respect for yall)
8) If you had to pick your favorite Choices book, which one would it be and why?
Um.... I have no idea honestly? Iā€™m pretty neutral to all the books at this point. But Iā€™ll always be a sucker for ILITW bc I was proven wrong in canon about some aspects of the book and i eat that kind of thing up. I love being proven wrong! Sometimes.
9) If your Choices LIs were real, which one (and only one) would you personally want to be with?
Well shit lol um irl Iā€™d probs say Liam bc hot af, royal af, sweet af, generous af, protective af, lovable af
10) Do you share any physical characteristics with your Choices MCs? Pics/Selfies optional šŸ˜Š
Nope! none. um... dark hair?
11) Which MC do you share the most personality traits with?
None, not really. Like... Iā€™d say TF mc but Iā€™m not much of a fan of her so like lol no
12) Which Choices character do you feel you have the best grasp of in terms of personality?
Iā€™d probs say Flynn but Iā€™m not totally sure until I try to write him. Or Liam bc I feel like in some aspects I AM Liam
13) Whatā€™s your favorite Choices pairing to write for?
I donā€™t write for any actual choices pairings! In each of the 2 fics Iā€™m working on Iā€™m pairing canon characters with original characters
14) What is a pairing(s) you hope to start writing for?
Iā€™d like to FINALLY write flynn x mc. ALSO. my oc Kaden Cantarella (heā€™s set in the VOS universe) with ya know... me lol bc Iā€™m in love with him
15) What do you hope to improve in your writing?
I need to be a lot more descriptive. Iā€™m not good with like proper use of adjectives or anything. Like in chapter 1 of my stalker grant fic I said that grant threw a picture frame at Walsh. But I didnā€™t explain what had actually happened ya know, so like initially it wasnā€™t clear whether Walsh had actually been hit or where grant threw it, stuff like that.
16) Any pet peeves related to writing?
Everything, like I like writing, but I hate writing. Does that even make sense?
17) Are you inspired by any IRL experiences when you write? Care to share?
YES!!! Back in the marrish fandom sometimes I used to write based on things that had actually happened in my life or things Iā€™d witnessed. Or like Iā€™d take little bits of myself and insert them into the OCs
18) Is there any particular piece of work you consider to be your ultimate writing goal? Something so amazing you hope one day youā€™ll be up to that standard?
Ugh my unpublished, unnamed royal marrish au. I didnā€™t finish that one but it was coming along amaaaaazing. Also Thinking Out Loud (also marrish bc all my fics outside of this fandom have been marrish), like that was the first fic I wrote that I LOVED. Iā€™d never liked my writing before then (still dont, not really, but I do it anyway)
19) Did/do you write for any other fandoms? If so which ones?
marrish!! (teen wolf, who?) once i feel comfortable enough with my writing again Iā€™m gonna finish all those unpublished fics I was working on before my extreme case writerā€™s block started early last year (literally couldnā€™t write a paragraph again til a couple months ago)
20) In your spare time (when youā€™re not writing) what other hobbies do you pursue?
what even are hobbies anymore. All Iā€™ve been doing lately has been fighting off anxiety attacks. um I love discovering new music though like thatā€™s always been a fave!! oh and shipping myself with people I have no chance with lol thatā€™s always fun
Tagging: okay so tbh idk about [m]any writers in this fandom and anyone Iā€™m following has probs already been tagged so if youā€™re a writer and havent been yet, consider this official notice of me tagging you! šŸ’—

Listen Linda!

I am excited!!Ā  My VH1 credit should be on my IMDB page real soon.Ā  Pause why Black Panther is filming in ATL and I never knew when they started filming.Ā  I definitely need an agent in ATL, I have the financial ability to fly back and forth.Ā  I just donā€™t know if I am willing to shave my head.Ā  Even if they offered me 500k, Iā€™d still be hesitant. Lol.Ā  And they are filming in the middle of fall and winter and I canā€™t stand being cold.Ā  God is good!Ā  I am unsure what to do with my health though.Ā  Again, Iā€™ve come to terms years ago, about what could possibly happen.Ā  I bet ol girl would be happy if I perished, she wished it on me anyway. Lol, But that besides the point at hand.Ā  Something is definitely wrong with my body and I am beyond over it.Ā  Thank God for life insurance I guess.Ā  I barely have debts except for my school loans.Ā  I wrote out my goals, I just need to make a vision board at this point.Ā  I am definitely hoping everything manifests.Ā  Iā€™ll be debt free by December of this year.Ā  And then my credit score should be above average and then I figured out how to get a Tesla without spending 40k.Ā  The most I am willing to spend is 30k but thatā€™s where negotiating comes in.Ā  Unless the car goes over 300 miles per charge, I am not spending that much.Ā  Iā€™ve driven a Tesla. Model S and the charge goes down quick with all the usage.Ā  I want a model S so bad, but Ill take the Model 3 or Y.Ā 
My child got out twice now.Ā  I told her the outside is for the street cats and sheā€™s not about that life, of course she responds. Lol.Ā  I am definitely blessed for her.Ā  Who would have thought Iā€™d have a cat that responds and talks to me.Ā  Understands commands.Ā  Itā€™s beyond crazy sometimes but I am grateful.Ā  I remember after the incident I was crying so bad and Zena was trying to get in my lap but I kept putting her on the floor.Ā  I feel so bad she waned to comfort me and I rejected it.Ā  But I truly love her to death.Ā  I bought her a leash to train her to go outside but she isnā€™t having it, but then yells at me to put it on.Ā  I guess she runs everything.Ā  She also loves helping the clients.Ā  Lol.Ā  Whether thatā€™s talking while Iā€™m on the phone or typing random shit from the keyboard.Ā Ā 
I finally broke my silence.Ā  Not entirely.Ā  Iā€™m still hesitant about reaching out to my community about what happened to me.Ā  I told one person in the industry and I said, itā€™s not about exploiting or exposing but itā€™s about safety.Ā  If I was attacked I am sure itā€™ll happen to someone else and thatā€™s the point of speaking on it.Ā  I would be in the wrong if it was lies and I made up this whole story for revenge, but unfortunately it really happened.Ā  I have the court documents saved as PDF and people can look it up with my name or the case number.Ā  This is why I am blessed my record is clean.Ā  Because on my IMDB, it shows if the industry is googling you or reviewing your page.Ā  And if I had a criminal or something as a restraining order on my record, I could lose out on bookings.Ā  Reputation matters.Ā  Producers always call me back for a gig.Ā  And no one wants to work with someone who canā€™t control their anger.Ā  Thank God that isnā€™t me.Ā  I can be upset, but Iā€™d NEVER put my hands let alone bite someone.Ā  I am hesitant about posting pictures of the bite, but I feel like thatā€™s my finally closure.Ā  Closure and forgiveness is a beautiful thing.Ā  I think thatā€™s how I am able to receive all these blessings.Ā  I always forgive people in order to set myself free.Ā  The misery I would feel if I didnā€™t.Ā 
*side note; I am craving Prankā€™s Egg white omelette and potatoes. ; with some syrup.Ā  I am not sure when Iā€™ll make it over there but itā€™ll be soon.Ā  Most places donā€™t even do egg white omelette which too me isnā€™t as dry as a regular omelette. Itā€™s like being in love with the first bite, itā€™s so good.Ā 
Imagine on my birthday a Tesla arrives.Ā  Yall Iā€™d pass out.Ā  Lol.Ā  I definitely want that car and then Iā€™ll get a townhouse.Ā  The way they check your credit though itll be tricky I suppose.Ā  And of course mom can rent out my room.Ā  This room is beyond 600 sq ft.Ā  Its a whole ass studio.Ā  Matter fact if she takes the entertainment room, where my sister sleeps and my room and the bathroom, thatā€™s a steal.Ā  I have been looking for townhouses to rent but some are two bedrooms and are tiny.Ā  And I am spoiled to be honest.Ā  I refuse to live in a box.Ā  Which means paying over 2k a month.Ā  But thatā€™s the whole point of upgrading your life.Ā  I will never forget when I met my brother for the first time and he said I was boujie because I had a Champion jacket on. Lol, SMH!Ā  Whatā€™s so wrong with upgrading your life.Ā  Phew, black people never can just say something is cute or looks good without the extras.Ā  The Champion jacket was hella expensive and I bought it on my credit card, because I was broke.Ā  I like the color and how it looked. Lol, never knew it would categorize me as boujie.Ā Ā 
Thatā€™s why lowkey I am scared to get the Tesla.Ā  Because when next year comes around and I FINALLY heal and get myself right to date.Ā  I donā€™t want to go out on a date and they think, because I have a Tesla I got monies.Ā  I was ignorant for that too.Ā  My ex has a big ass house and a Mercedes and I quickly learned it wasnā€™t even like that.Ā  Plus a Mercedes is really an expensive Chrysler, both vehicles share the same interior, but who gon tell them?Ā  Can we just clap for people who upgrade their lives.Ā  Can we do that starting 2022.Ā  My plan is at the end of this year to finish doing overtime and then grab my savings and get a loan, hopefully at least 20k and I pay the rest like 10-15k.Ā  And BOOM a Tesla is born.Ā  I am always planning, I created a whole financial excel sheet to predict how much I need to make to reach my goals.Ā  Then I have my Godson and his future.Ā  I may go ahead and put 5k in his savings just to set him in stone for the next two years.Ā  I am waiting for my credit card to say zero!Ā  If I have extra I might send my friends a couple racks.Ā  When I am blessed I have to pass the blessings to the next.
I love the BUFFINS!!!Ā  I just canā€™t over how beautiful their lives are.Ā  Sevyn wanted Annie and she got her.Ā  They proposed and got married and three years later had their first child and I am just so happy for them.Ā  I am like this, let me re-manifest someone from the ATL.Ā  Because my homeboy literally is moving to be with his fiance after meeting her a short time and heā€™s a Capricorn.Ā  Listen, I was so close but I ended up getting violated violently, so lets start over.Ā  Caps are so loyal and faithful.Ā  But I am not ready to find someone yet.Ā  I kind of want to establish a few things first.Ā  I want to HEAL.Ā  This was definitely a traumatizing experience.Ā  Adding more to my PTSD.Ā  I want to be comfortable speaking about it if asked.Ā  There is a lot to work on at this time.Ā  Plus, I want to get this car and this townhouse.Ā  Also, I donā€™t want to be afraid to jump into the deep end.Ā  Like when I fall in love again, I dont want to be hesitant to make someone my girlfriend, even if itā€™s a short period of time.Ā  I donā€™t want to rush but I donā€™t want to hold back my emotions either.Ā  I pray I can fall in love again.Ā  I honestly do.Ā  I thought I couldnā€™t and then I did to a person who attacked me.Ā  Feels wasted.Ā  I want to take chances.Ā  I should have taken that second date with this other girl. Lol, fuck !Ā  And I wouldnā€™t have been in this mess.Ā Ā 
To end this, I know relationships are not easy, I was in one for five years.Ā  I have the strength but also, I donā€™t have to tolerate shit.Ā  If the universe sends me a damn Taurus, we going straight to counseling, because I refuse.Ā  Lol, they are literally all abusive asf.Ā  In the meantime, I am waiting for the victims group to get back to me about my case.Ā  If they agree, somebody going to jail and itā€™s not me.Ā  I mean literally what happened to my bff ex, lordt.Ā  we call her crazy bish, but she was mad she was arrested for the DV.Ā  Like how can people be upset about their own actions that they chose.Ā  Now you see why, when my bff asked if she was a Taurus and she said yes, why they were scared for me.Ā  Lol, because them May Taurus are real life abusers.Ā  Someone prove me wrong and Ill give them 10k.Ā  But on a good note.Ā  God is good!!!!!

my experience at DAY6 Live & Meet in NA- NYC
Ok so up until I got to the venue, things were pretty bad. I was already running late cause of my exam, which is why I ended up switching my benefits, soĀ  I went home to fix my make up but was in a rush that yo girl completely forgot her freaking eyebrows lolol so i was freaking out cause iā€™m meeting the loves of my life and i canā€™t show them eyebrow-less liz but there are stores everywhere in the city that i just quickly purchased something and ran to the venue in the disgusting, humid rainy weather where, clearly, non- new yorkers were walking like turtles but luckily i got to the venue about 10 minutes before the show started.. thank God
(warning: long and jargon)
so Dowoon was the first to come out and he was all shy and smiles, and then wonpil came out in a suit and i was telling myself that i didnā€™t like where this was going and then freaking YOUNG K COMES OUT WITH A LOOSE TIE and by then, iā€™m pretty much only staring at him cause iā€™m in awe of his beauty once again that i didnā€™t even realize sungjin and jae came out.Ā  The first song was I Wait & not even 5 minutes into the start of the show, this is what i get at the end of the song THE FIRST FREAKING SONGĀ 
Tumblr media
so iā€™m pretty much dead and then they performed Hunt next so about halfway into the song, I lift my cheap sign, with black ink cause this girl cannot afford color ink, which read ā€œė‚˜ DAY6 ģŒģ•… ė§¤ģ¼ ė“£ź³  YOUNG K ė¼ėŠ” ź°€ģˆ˜ ė§Žģ“ ģ¢‹ģ•„ķ•“" (ā€I listen to DAY6 everyday, I like a singer named Young K a lotā€ ā€“ in reference to this) and yo girl was looking at him and he saw my sign AND READ IT AND THEN MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME AND SMILED LIKE dsjfksldjf this lasted almost 10 seconds
Tumblr media
I WAS LITERALLY SCREAMING INSIDE BUT I SMILED BACK AT HIM AND YALL, WE HAD OUR MOMENT!! BUT LOWKEY, I WANTED TO ACTUALLY CRY AND LOOK AWAY BECAUSE I GOT SO SHY HAHAHA and so yeah, iā€™m pretty much dead only six minutes into the show but boy did this again towards the end of the show (which i didnā€™t catch on video) when i raised my sign during I Smile and he made eye contact with me again and kept smiling so iā€™m dead once againā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.Ā 
some highlights during the q&a that i found cute: (i was mainly focused on youngfeel cause i was on their side and was deprived of young k when i went to their concert this past summer)Ā  - young k sayingĀ ā€œyou guys (My Days) are adorable" WHEN HEā€™S REALLY THE ADORABLE ONEĀ  - jae singing sunday morningĀ  - young k stomping his feet like 3 times and being extra cute af and jumping up from his chairĀ  - youngfeel hitting each other and young k telling wonpil to calm downĀ  - young k forcing collapsedone to get up from his seat during the preference game - sungjinā€™s confidence when he speaks - dowoon saying he wants to be able to talk to a bear and sungjin imitates oneĀ  as always, their vocals were amazing and beautiful but i couldnā€™t really hear that well since so many people were screaming, but iā€™m glad we did since Young K said he was worried that NA My Days wouldnā€™t applaud them or be able to sing the lyrics but he said he was wrong, and the way jae said "beautiful" so sweetly when we sang his first verse in congratulations, and then Young K getting teary eyed by the end of I Smile.. everything was greatĀ  and during theĀ ā€œencoreā€,Ā  Jae literally stood on the chair in the row behind mine and then stopped right in front of me to jump so girlā€™s gotta do what she gotta do and i jumped with him and now iā€™m still sore af. BUT AFTER BEING A FAN OF JAE FOR ALMOST 7 YEARS, AND SEEING HIM DEBUT AND ACCOMPLISH GOALS AND NOW COME TO PERFORM AT HIS HOMETOWN AS WELL AS MY HOMETOWN KSJF I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME BUT I REALLY AM A PROUD MAMA. After the show, I went up the stairs for hi-touch and I was so nervous and when I went up the stairs, Young K was first and Iā€™m dead serious, he looked exactly like this ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦Ā 
Tumblr media
and i was honestly so intimidated cause he looks so .. fierce (? idk if thatā€™s the appropriate word) and he was waiting because I had to walk up to the table they were behind and letā€™s be real, he does give off that cold vibe at first but anyways, i began walking up to him and his face suddenly brightened up like he remembered my sign or something and was smiling and leaned forward and looked me in the eyes while he was holding my hand with his hand WHICH IS ACTUALLY SO WARM, SMOL, AND SOFT LIKE WHAT THE ā€¦. I WAS DECEIVED BY THOSE PICTURES (but iā€™m still a hand stan) and he told meĀ ā€œthank you for comingā€ and tbh i donā€™t remember what i said to him but i think i told himĀ ā€œthank you so much, i love youā€ but idk why i said that when i had something else in mind and was planning on speaking to him in konglish but he didnā€™t let go or look away and actually didnā€™t let go till he gave YOU the chance to speak but honestly, i remember my moments with the other members but with young k, everything is such a blur. i was THAT nervous and just couldnā€™t make eye contact without wanting to look away cause he was THAT BEAUTIFUL AND SO SWEET lol and he said he got chubby but IF HE IS CHUBBY, IDK WHAT I AM CAUSE HIS FACE WAS LITERALLY THE SIZE OF MY FIST ā€¦ā€¦..Ā  then I moved onto Dowoon and he just bowed slightly but I told himĀ ā€œģˆ˜ź³ ķ–ˆģ–“ģš”" (you worked hard) and moved on but he turned around to look at me againĀ so I turned back and he saidĀ ā€œhuh? ģ˜¤~ā€ and smiled like he was so taken aback that I spoke Korean. Jae was next, ok iā€™m not that short or tall but i realized this before but jae is actually not as tall as i expected and he was so chill about it like he just grabbed my hand and held it almost as if i was his bro and said ā€œthank you for comingā€ and my dumbass self just repeated him ā€¦ā€¦. so I moved onto Wonpil and told himĀ ā€œģˆ˜ź³ ķ–ˆģ–“ģš”" as well and he saidĀ ā€œģ•„! ź°ģ‚¬ķ•©ė‹ˆė‹¤~!ā€ in that dragged out adorable tone he uses all the time, and then I moved onto Sungjin and just as I remembered, his not so tall yet nicely built physique and his BEAUTIFUL EYES ā€¦ I told himĀ ā€œģˆ˜ź³ ķ–ˆģ–“ģš”" as well and he made that usual face he makes when heā€™s thinking about something and saidĀ ā€œģ˜¤~~ā€, bowed, and smiled.Ā  SO OVERALL, it was such an unforgettable memory and iā€™m honestly so proud of how far theyā€™ve come, and am also so thankful that I get to listen to and support such beautiful and humble artists, and am also happy that I get to be in such a beautiful fandom who follow their artists and are also good singers, whether youā€™re in Korea or one of Jaeā€™s kids overseas.Ā  and if you read all of this, iā€™m sorry i wasted your time BUT I JUST LOVE YALL MY DAYS AND DAY6 OK GOODBYEĀ  (Btw I took a few mainly Young K focused fancams that you can check out on my youtube if you want. )

Episode #6:Ā ā€œCan i PLEASE get a blindside.ā€ - Jared
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ok so basically the game has been sooo quiet and ive like. Ā felt dead. idk. i had a breakdown last night bc of it and i cried on my couch (KNOW THERE WAS A LOT MORE THAN THIS LKSDJGKLDSGLS I WOULDNT CRY PURELY BC OF THAT) but yaaa and now im better but like the entire day i was throwing up in class (or like feeling anxious im exaggerating sorry) about going home.
i didnt want mo out but with that being said i didnt want anyone out?? after i mentioned to him that stephen/mo were targeting each other, rhys came to me with the idea that like him jared chloe and i should make a chat, and i was down for that bc it would secure my positioning and like ALSGKSDG who'd flip on an alliance THIS early.. right?? right..
chloe was really not talkative with me. stephen/jared were active so i appreciate that immensely. im just thrown off. i dont really know who i can or cant trust.
OK ALSO SIDE NOTE CHRIS SENT ME [IM NOT EXAGGERATING] 55+ MSGS SPILLING TEA ABOUT HOW THE TUATHA HAD AN OG ALLIANCE WITH EVERYONE BUT MITCH + MAYNOR - which i knew about but LASKGLDKS AHHHH. and he leaked that stephen wanted kori/bryce targeted and i leaked that to bryce to further stephens target. IM JUST SO MESSY LOL
also i kind of predicted a swap likeee omfg. and i dont know how i feel. i kind of felt safe on my tribe??? but like.. oh no. anyway, my tribe isnt super dominant in challenges or anything (compared 2 the other tribe who has bryce/stephen/drew), but i think we can win a lipsync since we have a woman, gay men, and a metrosexual male who has an outgoing personality (and i mean that in the nicest way obviously). IDK I HOPE WE WIN BC THAT TRIBAL WAS HORRIFIC AND I LOVE MO SO MUCH AND AHH.
ill probs give a video soon in more depth with what chris said. yalls deserve it.. oops period.
I HOPE YALL CAN FORGIVE ME. im eating hotdog. bye bye love u all.
Tumblr media
Wow I like the whole tribe! Alyssa is probably my front runner of talking and honestly she's great! I am in her spell ahhhh but hey JARED is here too woo! I think at least with Mitch and Zach too I'll be safe but I'll see! This challenge could either go really well or really badly for us but I'm excited to do anything creativity!!
Tumblr media
I absolutly love my tribe at the moment, i'm getting along well with alot of them except Kori who i haven't spoken to much at all but im confident in our abilities to win! Jared is talking a little bit about wanting the game to pick up a little bit and i agree to some extent however blindsiding someone just for the sake of a blindside isn't smart gameplay so im just gonna lay low nd continue making those strong bonds here there and everywhere to hopfully come out on top should we end up at tribal
Tumblr media
youtube
Can i PLEASE get a blindside
________________________________________________________________
hi it's 6 am but rhys fucking filmed vertically so if we lose he automatically has my vote
Tumblr media
I feel good but also scared. I dont think I'll do as good of a job as I hope, but it also is turning out decently so far. My biggest concern is time. With having work tomorrow, I can only do the editing on my lunch break of 90 minutes, then whenever i get home which probably wont be until 6, given the upload time that leaves me with about 3 hours in total. Hopefully I'll be able to work with Rhys and Jack's stuff, as i think it'll be easier for me to do it then. Regardless, I'm gonna be a zombie but LOL this is the second Wednesday in a row I stayed up late except this is not for school and instead of 3 hours, ima get 2 hours of sleep haha that is so sad and funny and heebee jeebee zoinks, alright goodnight
Tumblr media
Two things: 1) there's really nothing quite like making a fool of yourself multiple times in a single org, just to be immune for one round. 2) i am horrible at looking for idols
Tumblr media
So Matt just told me he thinks weā€™re gonna have a double tribal right before merge which is like ew I hate that throw it out please, speaking of throwing out uh Kori can go because heā€™s wearing on my nerves like yes weā€™re gonna get things done on time calm down please and thanks.
Tumblr media
these people are actually delulu if they think that video is winning. no fucking way we are winning. time to go to tribal!
Tumblr media
So the swap has happened, and I get what is almost probably my worst case scenario player-wise. All of my close allies, with the exception of Kori, are currently on Cyrena. Meaning that winning immunity isn't even really good, since it puts them in danger.
I think there's a way to make this bad situation good though. Getting to finally work with Michael, Matt, Loris, and Drew can actually be a blessing in disguise. If I get on their good sides now, they might clue me into their plans once merge rolls around. That's the hope, anyway. For now my goal is just to survive being swapped with a bunch of people I've barely spoke to!
Tumblr media
The past 24 hours have been major toughie for me. Staying up late and then trying to manage editing a video, work, and time constraints, and I won't lie, its been exhausting, but I didn't want to let my tribe down, or anyone down I guess. A little ways through, I kinda felt pretty defeated and then learning at last minute it was due an hour before I predicted made me panic A LOT internally, but it does seem like the tribe likes it so if we do lose and if they do vote me out, I can look back at this and feel like I did something right.
Tumblr media
Well a lots happened and to be honest at times life and this game move too quick for me to even remember if I've mentioned it. We swapped, and I'm trying to just keep myself afloat however I can.
The challenge was overly stressful and I have no idea if we'll pull it out. Editing has been so stressful and I've found new appreciation for the people that do it. I just hope whatever I whip together will just be enough so that I can breathe and really take stalk of my new situation.
Tumblr media
youtube
Tumblr media
So, I haven't been around a whole bunch recently. However I'm glad we didn't go to tribal, that could've been Ā a reason if my name came up. So I'm glad I have time to more cement my bonds on this tribe and keep my name out of peoples mouths.
Tumblr media
We JUST WON IMMUNITY WOOHOO. I was kind of nervous with a music challenge considering the only other one I did previously I did not do the greatest in :P. Both videos were amazing and im so glad Eve and Jones's mom liked ours significantly greater than the other one! As far as my position is concerned, I am reunited with Jared and our relationship is still strong I think so that's good. Stephen I am HOPING will be ok by just latching on to Kori at least for premerge. Those two are still the ones I trust the most, but I also like Alyssa Chris and Zach. I WISH i could connect more with jack, but i feel like every time we play together it gets more difficult to hold a conversation, so that's a yikes. Jared myself and stephen are diligently working on the idol search, but it's likely already found. I'm pretty sure there are too many components for someone to just find it by themselves
Tumblr media
WELL. Im a target tonight! God we really do love that for me. We really do. Kori, eat my fucking ass. You leave me on read all the time. And then you have the NERVE. THE ACTUAL NERVE. to be like "omg stop slipping in my dm's!" Boo if you didn't leave me on read constantly then maybe i would actually want to speak to you! an actual moron. And then STEPHEN HAS THE FUCKING AUDACITY to me like "ya lol i'll be at tribal i'll make the decision between you and Kori at tribal!". BOI. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU GET TRUST IN SOMEONE. Its fucking ridiculous. Thank god Michael is in my corner, hopefully drew and bryce too. I am NOT getting 15th right now, no way. I am BETTER than this. i am going to make it work, tim gunn style. maybe its time to break the fajitas and channel their energy once again
Tumblr media
Why do I go on the initiative literally ever? I'm clearly bad at it, I wasn't even remotely thinking things through and I SHOULD have let Stephen or someone else suggest someone but no I had to be mildly greedy and wanna send home Matt whom I barely DM.
I already flopped editing the video, and now here I am flopping the social/stategy game that I love playing supposedly.
Of course I tried reaching out to Michael and Drew FOOLISHLY because I wanted to build trust and maybe work with them. So naturally Michael tells Matt because ofc they'd be close as would Drew probably since he and Michael have been together since Day 1. As it stands I'm stuck praying Loris is gonna vote with me and it just sucks because I'm so bad at this game.
I'm trying to keep a cool head right now because there's still time. Stephen and I are trying to work logistics, see if we need to switch the vote to say Michael in case of an idol, but I'm not sure Loris/Bryce would be on board for that.
There's a pretty good chance that I'm definitely dead. But I'ma fight to the bitter end!
Tumblr media
Today I learned from Stephen that Kori is in some dangerous water. He I guess said Matt's name to Michael who told Matt and now them and Drew are voting Kori. However Bryce and Stephen and perhaps Loris are all voting Matt. Now this is good if it works because honestly that group having to endure their numbers dwindling is good for my game. It only leaves Jack and Alyssa but I think we better be careful because I can see both of them slipping through the inevitable war zone that is gonna be happening.
Tumblr media
Today's been a pretty informative day for me. After losing the immunity challenge by a hair, I was worried because I didn't think I had bonded very well with my current tribe through One World, luckily for me, that doesn't seem to be their biggest concern at the moment.
During the initial stages of the vote, I talked to Kori and the two of us decided Matt would be the easiest target to take out. I was leaning towards voting Matt because we hadn't talked very much, so hearing Kori was on board right away simplified things for sure. Bryce and Loris both seem to be on board with it too so I shouldn't have anything to worry about at this point.
In the morning, things got a whole lot more complicated. Matt found out he was the target through Michael, and began his campaign to get Kori out instead of himself. I'm not entirely sure why Michael decided to do this, but it doesn't make much of a difference at this point. Matt campaigned to me, and I sorta pretended to be on the fence. I was listening to what he said, but Kori is realistically one of my closest allies, there's no way I'm voting him out to side with people I had just met.
Once campaign season got under way, I had a conversation with Chris. Chris tells me that on original Orfeo, him, Loris, and Zach believed there was an alliance of Chloe/Sharky/Drew/Michael formed. This explains not only why Sharky was seen as an easy boot on swap-Tuatha, but also why Michael wants to keep Matt instead of Kori. With Chloe re-joining after tribal, him/Drew/Chloe/Matt would form a tight majority. Without Matt, they're a minority.
I proposed an idea to switch the vote from Matt to Michael or Drew. I said it was because I was worried about an idol, but this alliance is the real reason I wanted to do it. However, Kori, Loris, and Bryce are comfortable with the status quo and since it's not my neck on the line I didn't feel the need to push too hard.
Me, Kori, and Bryce now also have an alliance with Loris, which is cool? I haven't gotten very close with Loris yet but he seems like a smart player tied to Chris and Zach which spells good things for us working together in the future. Assuming I survive this vote and have a future, of course.
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
hi I think I might make it past final 15 thatā€™s nice umm... I suggested an alliance of me Bryce Stephen Kori to counter the potential power of chloe Matt Michael and drew once chloe joins our tribe because my brain is massive. but now weā€™re like scared for idols . scary shih anyways like how r u Iā€™m good.
________________________________________________________________
oh huh tribes r gonna be even again next round... so I have to make this conf by default just in case of a you know what wait no anna u said no more 24 hour challenges QUEEN ... thank god I canā€™t be bothered to delete this so sheā€™s being SENT
Tumblr media
Right now there's so many things running through my head with the introduction of Matts vote steal, because realistically i could convince him to give to me or i could keep him around as a potential shield. I don't want to do it to the guy but also a vote steal could shift the tides of the game in my favour later down the line. so it's a difficult decision and one id rather have more time to contemplate.
Tumblr media
youtube
Tumblr media
Wooo ok operation vote steal is a go and next round weā€™ll be swimming in green hopefully but with one world sis og tribe lines just ainā€™t it!
Tumblr media
God im over this tribal. Like ugh these people really are under Kori's mist so like im probably going home. Do I think i might be able to survive? a small glimmer of hope says yes, but i'm not confident. God im just... so annoyed at this. Im clearly on the outs here and I just HOPE i can pull through i just am so scared. I know if i do leave though that I have fought my damn hardest to stay tonight. Im trying to think of the positives because its hard to do so because im being sad atm.. UGH. the fajitas really have failed me tonight, their light has dimmed and their guidance is no more. i am now with the darkness. we r one.
Tumblr media
Oh my fucking god my heart is breaking. Matt is basically in such a deep hole he's going to go home, unless he plays an idol. And Alyssa has an idol. And she doesn't think it's smart to use it on him because Michael says he's just gonna go home next round. His social game hasn't been up to snuff and they're gonna boot him regardless, so she wants to keep us with power and let him go. And I agree with her. Which kills me. I'm usually able to just be a robot when it comes to this like yes I will make the smarter decision if it means I'll be emotionally torn, and this is such an instance. Luckily, it's not my idol to give up. Yes Alyssa says it's "our" idol but it's her call end of the day. I just... fuck. This is all stars man. And I'm actually starting to feel, for once.
Tumblr media
Well it's about an hour before tribal and at least on it's surface it would seem Matt is going. I'm not confident though because any number of things COULD happen. I'm hoping there's no idol play, just because I feel like pre-merge just isn't a good look for me.
If Matt does pull something off, then kudos to him, and if it's me that'd make this my final confessional for the season. I've had such an amazing time playing and while I feel like I've been playing a lower key game on purpose I feel like I'm doing what I can to really come into my own. I hope the bonds I've made are gonna stick and that everything works out for us.
But if it doesn't I guess I'll have to find a way to be ok with that. This has been such a unique All-Stars experience so far, and I hope I can take what I've gotten from it and make myself better for it. (Also highkey hopefully this isn't my last confessional and I'm getting sentimental for no reason.)
