[mikanotes]

don’t even bother ft. aventurine x gn!reader — just something short bcs his va is too good at his job and him voicing that post made me go oh wow! warnings cursing, clingy aven and reader in denial about their feelings, one suggestive joke, badly written Sorry! this is very much dedicated to nour enjoy ur bf

The light of the sun indicates that the day has started much longer ago than you had originally thought. You cling onto sleep, nevertheless, not at all fond of the idea of facing the day properly.

“Alright. I understand.”

There isn’t need for any context for you to get that the second disruption of your attempts at going back to dreamland is a call concerning work, of all things. The clear exhaustion and barely concealed frustration in Aventurine’s voice as he speaks to the person on the other end of that call indicates he probably feels the same as you.

Irritated enough to go back to sleep immediately after hanging up.

“Let’s schedule the interview for today.” he says, sounding like he’s stretching. Oh, great. He’s decided to be professional and get up. You hear him heave a long sigh, probably after hanging up, and blindly try to reach for him.

“No.” you mumble, frowning slightly. Aventurine hums, seemingly surprised, then chuckles.

“Hm? No?” he repeats, and leans down. You open your eyes enough to see him cover the painful rays of sunlight streaming through the curtains. He looks at you and tilts his head with a smile, “Not even a hello, huh? You’re so polite.” his voice drips with sarcasm.

You try to press your palm to his face but he grabs your wrist before you can, laughing. He presses closer to you and leans his forehead to your shoulder. “No what?” he asks, whispering. You don’t appreciate the chill that runs down your spine. He’s so close.

“No to leaving before me. I heard that call.”

He smiles against your neck before pulling back to look at you. “Who says I’m leaving?” he huffs softly, “I was just trying to sound awake, okay? And since when were you this clingy?”

“I’m the same as usual,” you complain, turning to lay on your back, “I just don’t want to be kicked out become the actual room’s owner isn’t here, is all. It’s a pain to deal with.”

He’s right. You’re not a clingy person. In fact, you don’t usually find yourself sleeping in the same bed as anyone, no matter how close you are to them. This is just… A rare occurence.

You and Aventurine getting one too many drinks at a nearby bar, you realizing you didn’t get yourself a hotel room prior to the whole ordeal, and crashing in his luxury bedsheets before he could protest.

And the worst part of it? You slept well.

In any case, the problem was that the warmth of someone by your side as you slept felt much more comforting than you’d expected it to be. Maybe it was just the previous night’s drinks residue blurring your thoughts. Maybe that’s what made you say no to him potentially leaving before you could actually process it.

Maybe it’s just because it’s him, and you never really mind him being so close to you.

He sighs and moves over your figure, planting his arm at the side of your head to hover over you. “You’re an awful liar. You wouldn’t last at poker.”

“Enlighten me. What the hell am I lying about?”

“This.”

He smiles, and it somehow makes you all the more aware of the distance between the two of you. It’s not nerve-wracking but it’s not uncomfortable. And it’s not comfortable, either, but it’s somewhere there in the middle. It’s on that line that makes your head struggle to keep up and that’s more than enough to tell you how badly you’re handling what should be a routine, by now. This is nothing new, come on.

“Who am I lying to…?” you continue.

He scoffs. “Yourself. I can practically see the gears turning inside your head. It’s almost cute.”

It’s your turn to scoff. “Almost.”

He smiles to himself but doesn’t add more, moving away from you. He breathes out tiredly as he leans back against his pillows, a hand moving to cover his eyes. “You should get the higher-ups to call for a room for you. No one’ll bother you then.”

“You’re the higher-ups, do it yourself, you have the funds.” you imitate a robotic-sounding voice, then sigh, “That’s what they’ll tell me.”

“Mm, will they, now?”

You look at him. Only then do you notice the sun on his skin, his slightly messed up bangs, and the one button holding that cursed hotel pajamas top. You press your eyes shut with half a mind to hold back an annoyed groan. Don’t look at him like that, you repeat in your head.

You and Aventurine are friends. He likes to tease and flirt but that’s just how he is, so there’s really nothing more to it. You work as a negotiator for a group who frequently deals with the IPC’s offers and request for help to convince people of their grandiose plans. And Aventurine is arguably very high-up in the ranks of the IPC. It’s a wonder you even became friends, but it has been a long while now. A long while of bantering, clinging into each other just a bit too much, and listening to the other’s stories the very few times either of you actually opened up.

— Most of those times being after drinks. Nevertheless, it counts for something.

But you’ve never seen him in this kind of light. In sunlight! You’re not seeing him in any kind of new light at all. It’s just a different atmosphere than what you’re used to around him. You’ve spent time talking for hours at quiet bars or helping each other out in the most chaotic situations, but it’s never been this.

It’s so… calm.

But your phone rings. You sigh heavily before you grab it and answer the call. “Hello?” You barely get to properly register who called you before the voice of your senior at work starts complaining in your ear. You grimace.

Aventurine stares at you curiously.

“… This is really last-minute. Seriously?” you say, then wait for an answer. Seems like you’re needed somewhere again. But calling you saying to get to a location one system hour later is just… “Fine, I’ll— I said fine. I’ll be there. Yeah. Yes, sir.”

You hang up. Quiet daydream’s over.

“Turns out I’m gonna need to leave, anyways.” you mutter, sitting up. You suddenly become very aware of how comfortable it was simply laying there talking with Aventurine. Now that you’re faced eith your usual duties and loud coworkers, you’re forced to realize just how soothing the man’s presence is in comparison.

You feel a hand on your arm. It’s warm on your skin, holding some remains from the sun’s touch. You turn your head to see Aventurine’s fingers trailing down slightly, seemingly in thought. “How about…” he trails off, brows furrowing.

“How about?”

He looks up at you and grins before pulling you back into him, wrapping his free arm around your waist swiftly. You end up much closer to his face than either of you had anticipated but you don’t move away, and neither does he.

“How about we take a day off?” he whispers.

You try to say something but no word comes to mind. Aventurine stares at you for a while and you notice his gaze flitting down your face for a flicker of a second before he grabs your arm more firmly and pulls you closer, leaving you no room to even attempt thinking. “Hm?”

“I, you… Fuck you.” is the only response you manage to get out of your throat, and even that sounds half-hearted. It almost sounds like a question, even. You have to blame it on the exhaustion. You brain’s not cooperating, right now.

“Are you offering?”

Now he’s done it. You manage to grab his pillow from underneath his head to swat it at him, making him exclaim in surprise and soon yell for mercy. “Okay, hold on, hear me out, I’m sorry!”

You lower the pillow, looking down at him. You’ve been close before but straddling him’s a new one. Outside of fighting, that is. Maybe this counts as fighting.

“Good Heavens.” he huffs, hair at least ten times messier than it was before, “Okay. That was unnecessary.”

“False. Deserved.”

“…Perhaps.” he clicks his tongue, and carefully picks his pillow from your hands, like it’s a gun threatening to fire at him. “But that was no answer to my offer. Shall we take a vacation?”

“You get to decide when your vacation is?”

His sigh sounds nothing short of exasperated. “Just play along, will you? If you do, I’ll find a way to cover for both of us.” he says, fingers touching your face for who-knows-why. His eyes focus back on yours and he raises his eyebrows questioningly.

You’re not going to immediately say yes.

“Fine. Full blame’s on you if my boss kills me.”

He laughs, seemingly pleased with your answer.

“Then rest.” he says quietly, pulling you against his chest. You tense for a while, then relax. Now the sun is on your skin, too, and its warmth almost seems to beckon you back into sleep. Or is it his arms wrapped around you? You can’t tell.

Maybe the world feels a bit less harsh and cold when Aventurine is with you, and maybe you just shouldn’t bother questioning it.

★ — intertwine .ᐟ

⤷ soul consumption with your bf !!

⌗ ft .∿ skz hyung line x reader

⌗ genre + warnings .∿ fluff + vore, this is something completely fictional so I genuinely would not try it without doing some research !! I just thought it would be something fun to write

⌗ trin’s note .∿ this is something completely different and out of my comfort so I wanted to test the waters with the hyung line before I try all 8 !!

⤹ ⊹ bang chan .ᐟ

✶ as much as chan exudes himself as someone who is strong, he is very much fragile, invertly. clearly not as fragile as a child, but he can’t allow just anyone to touch his soul. that’s something precious, something precarious, meaningful in such a way.

but with you, he trusted you. he trusts all your unique and strange ideas for intimacy, anything to bring the two of you closer. however, soul consuming for this first timer was overwhelming, one too much to handle. it was different, definitely unique, but he felt through the consumption why you wanted to try it. consuming yours was a heavy task but he kept a small piece of yours, he had to get something out of it. for you, he became worn out but quite enjoyed it.

⤹ ⊹ lee minho .ᐟ

✶ playful, teasing, and exudes so much of a cat, minho is almost always down for any and everything. which made the idea of mutual soul consumption have him jumping a bit. well, he was curious when you brought it up at first but as you explain, he was intrigued all throughout. the interwoven, tugging and pulling of souls with you and minho? minho potentially holding your soul? minho is more than elated.

it was a strange feeling to you more than him but he encouraged both you and him as the consuming went about. at first your souls started intertwining, you felt yourself mesh into minho’s soul, his heart becoming one with yours, it became soothing. but minho being minho, he grew only a tad bit selfish and started tugging at your soul. you tried to do the same but minho is too high strung to let you win this “tug of war”, which you accepted defeat. minho having you in his body kept him calm, balanced, slowly becoming overly pleased that a piece of you is with him. even in times of long distance, he doesn’t fret much cause he feels a piece of you inside of him.

⤹ ⊹ seo changbin .ᐟ

✶ “that sounds strange but I trust you” is all changbin could say to soul consumption. he didn’t agree but he didn’t disagree to the proposal. it sounds a bit intimidating to him but he can’t say no to the way you asked him and the lil pout you threw in. he mentally prepared himself for whatever the outcome is but also for the effects that both of you may feel after.

at first, he squirms at the subtle consumption and to think it would be a bit of a fight for you to consume his soul but it wasn’t. maybe cause changbin trust you so much, he relaxed himself as time passes and let you easily consume him, not all of him but a good amount. you offered yours as well but he denied, he did it only to please you. after the consumption, changbin feels lighter and more “airy”, but also a bit gushy cause you really are carrying a piece of him in your soul. it satisfied him so much to know this and almost let you devour him whole, not too bad of an idea for seo changbin ;).

⤹ ⊹ hwang hyunjin .ᐟ

✶ at first, hyunjin was concerned that you have drifted off into some strange side of the internet that he doesn’t wanna touch. but then again, who is he to deny a different way of intimacy? any and everything that surrounds love and holding onto his partner, hyunjin is never one to step back from. does he question it sometimes (like right now)? yes but it always end up with him being absorbed with it.

though he was questioning it, hyunjin was more involved with the consumption itself. he was enthralled in the way your soul was slowly seeping into his. his smile slyly, but slowly, grows as he feels your presence grow more into his body, he now has you with him whenever and wherever he wants. the days he yearns for you, he can easily find you meshed along with his soul. bits and pieces swivel around his soul as he hums at the feeling of this consumption. he ends up craving for more, much more until he can feel your physicality.

౨ৎ when I tell yall, this has been sitting in my drafts FOR MONTHS. I mean months 😭. this was a concept me and my friend discussed a while back and at the time I was obsession and wrote some hcs

౨ৎ lemme know if you guys want the maknae line :)

kisses to you all and God bless you 💗

[pathologicalreid]

of you dont mind, could you give us a season-based timeline of spencer and jureau!reader's relationship? like when they first started dating, married, etc.?

thank you!

i've done part of this before so if it seems familiar it's because i copied and pasted it lol!! jareau!reader lore from season 4-15+ below.

so technically, the first time they ever cross paths is in season 4 when Henry is born. obviously, it makes sense for j!reader to be there especially since she went to Georgetown. they don't officially meet until season 6 when reader takes JJ's spot on the team (but as a profiler) so in this specific AU, Seaver doesn't exist.

reader is 100% already smitten from the moment she meets him, but there's always this omnipresent fear of ruining the team dynamic or whatever reason reader can come up with. so in season 6 she actually gets a boyfriend, but her and Spencer remain really close friends throughout. he's also going through his whole migraine thing at the time. and then we hit the Lauren arc. i cannot disclose a lot about this because it may or may not be getting it's own fic, but they lean on each other heavy during that time.

in season 7 we obviously start with Spencer being an absolute dweeb to JJ, putting reader in the middle of it. again, i cannot disclose exactly what happens here, because it will potentially be in it's own fic. within season 7 reader breaks up with her bf and Spencer comforts her because they ended on bad terms, but Spencer is so heinously down bad for this girl that he doesn't even care that he's comforting her over another guy. there's a lot of like build up to this and they're kind of stuck in this "will they? wont they?" limbo and they're scared of ruining their friendship. when the bomb goes off in the season 7 finale, reader's in the building and Spencer freaks. they start dating shortly after JJ's wedding (which is why the line “She met Will and got pregnant and got married and you were so in love with her that you took the off-brand version just to have something.” from the ffofa 1 is so important).

that more or less brings us to season 8. home run takes place following "god complex" where they're dating and so stupid in love. their relationship is a secret at first, until lock and key happens and they come clean to everyone. i also feel it goes without saying that Maeve doesn't exist in this AU. they move in together during season 8 and they just coexist for the majority of 8, 9, and 10 because the seasons that come at traumatizing. there's also the lost daughter in season 9 and for the season 9 finale reader has a full fledged breakdown when Spencer is shot in the neck <333 but central nervous system takes place in season 10. around the end of season 10 they're talking about maybe getting married but i squash their dreams come season 11.

in season 11 there's the dirty dozen arc and Diana's Alzheimers diagnosis which puts a hold on their future plans. they're long distance while Spencer is with his mom in Las Vegas and they adopt a "one step at a time" mindset.

season 12!!! a big one for sure. reader does not agree with Spencer bringing his mom home to stay with them but she respects his decision even though it brings some issues to their relationship. she's mad at him for lying when he goes to Mexico but is obviously worried about his well-being. she helps him decide how he wants to plea. they write each other while he's in prison but she doesn't visit. they have a very wholesome reunion, she goes with him and JJ to confront Cat, and Spencer loses his mind when the team is in that car accident at the end of the season.

Spencer does not think he's going to be reinstated in season 13 but she hypes him up and when she's in town and he's on sabbatical she goes to his lectures to support him. she gets fired by Linda Barnes and does something similar to what Tara does because her background is in psych. my girl jareau!reader fully crashes out when Spencer and Penelope are kidnapped at the end of season 13 - another trauma that limits their ability to move forward with their relationship because they want to be in the right headspace <3

they do a lot of minding their own business in season 14, which makes sense because there's a lot going on with the rest of the team. that all leads up to the season 14 finale which, of course, is the beginning of for the fear of falling apart and takes us through season 15. they get married following the series finale.

post-series, neither of them fully go back to the BAU. Spencer consults and teaches and reader consults and goes back to working in psych. they have the cutest most wonderful family ever and i love them.

[thesweetestdevotion]

I saw a post a couple of weeks ago on how a member of enhypen (bighit boygroup) would act around their crush and hope it’s ok to request this reading from you———how would Sunghoon from enhypen act round while he’s round his crush and pursue this person that he likes

Thank you!🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎🤍

hey! so im gonna combine this ask with another ask about sunghoon as a bf! ill be channelling for both questions so dont worry!

Im also not very familiar with him so pls bear with me lol

Enhypen's Sunghoon as a Boyfriend

Dice: Scorpio, Moon, 11th House

How he would act around his crush:

Tarot: The Moon, Page of Coins Reversed, Page of Swords Reversed, Queen of Swords Reversed, Nine of Swords, Three of Cups Reversed

Ok dont come for me for this, but i get a sort of harsh vibe from him? at least if hes crushing on someone. Scorpio moon energy is one that is closed off and private (trust me i am one ;/) so i sort of get hes afraid of closeness in a sense, especially if its a crush he isnt sure is reciprocated. With The Moon card im sensing his vibe in a crush situation is a bit insecure and closed off. also with the two pages and the three of cups all reversed it makes me feel that there was some sort of situation where he was excluded or outcast from a group of friends/from a past crush, so this experience weighs heavily in his concience and heart when navigating a new crush (aww ૮(˶ㅠ︿ㅠ)ა)

another thing is i think he might try to distance himself from his crush through self sabotage. He'll try to overcompensate for his feelings by seeming harsh, distant, cold, and judgemental, when deep down he has a longing for connection and is functioning out of fear of another rejection that would hurt his feelings. Like his bandmate Jay, hes prone to heartbreak and his past hurts dont help at all. With the 11th house energy im seeing he also tries to remain as friends with his crush as he doesnt want to compromise a platonic relationship with his romantic feelings.

How he is as a boyfriend:

Dice: Sagittarius, 11th house, Sun

Tarot: Page of Coins, The Emperor, Six of Cups, Ace of Wands, The Tower Reversed, Six of Wands Reversed, Nine of Cups Reversed

Now for how he is as a boyfriend, i feel if he was in a commitment his confidence would skyrocket, esp with sagittarius sun energy, he probably feels more like himself. I think hes the type of person to need reassurance that the other person really likes them back before being able to feel comfortable and secure in his emotions. the six of cups tells me hes a very sentimental and nostalgic person. now idk why im hearing this but i keep seeing scrapbooks? and crafts? like those handmade couple gift ideas that you can diy yourself, so idk if hes artsy or if hes just interested in receiving something like that. Also when i started this second part of the reading he came off a bit sassy hehe, so maybe when he gets comfortable with people he could show a little fiery side to himself. Lol also i got he'd be the type to like having little unserious arguments or debates, he really likes banter im getting. The tower, six of wands, and nine of cups all reversed tell me that he has the potential to heal from his past through his future connections, but also that there is a sense of anxiety in him still just below the surface that makes him feel as if the worst is going to happen at any moment. He has the tendency to overthink, even in a secure nice relatioship, so he might ruminate in his anxieties alot. Idk if hes generally the anxious type but it seems relevant here.

hope i was able to capture him well! he was fun to read for! Thanks for the two who requested him, i hope you dont mind i felt called to combine the two asks into one! xxx

[wooahaes]

caught in a downpour

pairing: non-idol!97z & gn!reader

genre: fluff. silly friends going on a camping trip that goes wrong.

word count: ~0.8k

warnings: food mentions. rain/storm mentions.

daisy's notes: reader w their sunshine bf & their artsy bf & their goofy bf, tbh.

“Let’s go camping,” they said. “It’ll be fun!” they said. It was fun… for about one day before you woke up to heavy rain pelting your tent.

The four of you had managed to take care of things pretty damn quickly. Divide and conquer, pack everything into the car, and leave. There’d been maybe a minute or two of debating whether to leave things and come back, but Minghao had been the one to insist that the four of you just get everything and leave. You could go camping another time together, and maybe the weather wouldn’t take an unexpected turn (unexpected for Seokmin and Mingyu: not you, or Minghao, who mused aloud that the sky looked dark yesterday evening and even darker in the distance). Thankfully, most things were put up and it was merely  the four of you taking down your tents and throwing them into the back of Mingyu’s van. By the time the four of you were in the car, you were dripping rainwater everywhere. Mingyu had voiced a complaint (his car! His seats!), but he would merely have to deal with it. You were soaked to the bone, Seokmin was shivering and turning the heat up, and Minghao looked like a drowned rat at this point. Seokmin had at least wrapped towels over the two of you: despite him shivering, you and Minghao had the worst of it, your fingers slightly numb.

“My parents,” Seokmin said at one point, “Mingyu—”

Mingyu had already started the car. He knew the way, and it wouldn’t be too long to get the four of you there. You almost wanted to whine more, if it weren’t for how cold and wet you were. Minghao had merely tugged his towels closer, mumbling something about how he knew it was going to rain. He saw the sky. You did, too. The two of you should have just stolen the keys and gone back to the car. Maybe you would next time. 

By the time the four of you made it to Seokmin’s house, you felt like you would have frozen had it not been for Seokmin turning the heat as high as it would go. All Mingyu would need is a change of clothes because, by some stroke of luck, he’d escaped most of the rain in his dash to the car. 

Mingyu had joined Seokmin’s parents in the kitchen, already prepared to help them make something hot for all of you to eat. Seokmin had dried off enough and pushed you and Minghao to the two bathrooms. He’d stayed behind long enough to run you through what he knew—not to go full on the hot water and to try and make that gradual, as to not potentially fuck with your system. Something about shock. You’d acknowledged all of it and forced yourself to listen to his advice (lest you wanted Seokmin to stay there with you—you didn’t care if he saw you naked at this point, you just wanted to warm back up). 

Eventually, you felt better. Less cold. You had feeling in your fingers again, and you’d stayed a few extra minutes to just enjoy the warm water. Seokmin had been nice enough to get a dry change of clothes for you, too—no doubtably doing the same for Minghao. When you finally left, you’d found Seokmin looking at pictures hung up on the wall. He looked up, smiling at you before turning back.

“Sorry,” he said. “I was thinking…”

You came over to his side, looking up at the picture of Seokmin as a kid. “Cute,” you hummed. 

“I was,” he nodded. “Is that weird to say?”

You shrugged. “Is Mingyu still cooking?”

He nodded. “My parents ran to the store to pick up more eggs. Minghao’s downstairs with him.” He offered his hand to you. “Are you ready to join them?”

You placed your hand in his, following Seokmin back downstairs. Mingyu looked up from his place in the kitchen, smiling at you before turning back to his work. You settled into the chair next to Minghao, who had been given a mug of tea. A moment later, Mingyu pushed one over to you, saying something about how Seokmin’s parents insisted on it. Something about herbal tea being good for you—which, to be fair, it probably was—and insisting on it after the four of you were caught in the rain. 

The rain tapped against the window as it fell, the four of you coming together to enjoy your tea. Even though the camping part of your trip had been ruined, at least the four of you could enjoy some time together before you had to head home with a filling breakfast and a hot cup of tea.

One Piece Shipping War - Round 2 Side D

MiShanks art by @oz-gauze. Check out the original post here.

Propaganda under the cut.

Propaganda for Iceburg x Paulie:

"I find the 'IcePaulie' ship in the "One Piece" fandom particularly compelling, and there are several reasons for this. Firstly, the two characters involved, Iceburg and Paulie, are wonderfully complex and engaging. Iceburg, as the mayor of Water 7 and president of Galley-La Company, is a serious, highly respected figure whose calm and composed demeanor grounds the duo. On the other hand, Paulie, one of the company's top foremen, is known for his strict moral code and boisterous nature, which provides a perfect contrast to Iceburg's character. What I appreciate most about the 'IcePaulie' ship is the potential for dynamic interactions and growth that arise from these contrasting personalities. The calm, collected Iceburg and the more hot-blooded Paulie provide a balanced character interaction, which can lead to interesting conflicts or heartwarming moments of mutual understanding and respect. Moreover, their shared commitment to their work within the Galley-La Company serves as a common ground that bonds them together, further enriching their relationship. In conclusion, the 'IcePaulie' ship, to me, is about more than just a potential romantic or platonic relationship. It's about the exploration of two distinct characters, their individual quirks, values, and the unique dynamic that forms between them. This interplay of personalities and the potential narrative arc their relationship could follow are what make the 'IcePaulie' ship truly captivating to me."

It's one of my fav ship not including the big 5 so 👉👈 It's really damn adorable and romantic, like just paulie being extremely overprotective and iceburg just loving him more everytime. And how they deal with the others shenanigans (that they love)

Propaganda for Shanks x Mihawk:

They had a massive battle at one point, when mihawk showed up on that island where shanks was relaxing shanks convinced him to get drunk with him very easily, also in the war of the best mihawk just flat out said he refused to fight shanks

Goth swordsmith & Golden retriever

Two of the most badass characters in the whole series, cat/dog energy, the fact that Mihawk specifically sought Shanks out to show him Luffy's bounty??, also Mihawk leaving the fight because he didn't sign up to fight Shanks??, I love two middle aged man who are somehow friends AND MAYBE MORE lmao

They’re so funny to me. Like seriously goth Mihawk and happy chaotic Shanks. I just think they could be so good together

Rivals to lovers -- Powerhouses -- Introvert and extrovert -- Mihawk wears red and has black hair while Shanks wears black and has red hair like ✨Color schemes✨ -- SAME BIRTHDAY YOU CAN'T CONVINCE ME THEY DON'T CELEBRATE IT TOGETHER

They are rivals. They are besties. They are so friggin gay for each other. It's DILF love.

what if we were both swordsmen but you lost your arm to save the future king of the pirates so i have remained SOOO bitter about it but then find out the kid u saved has a promising swordsman so im less bitter so i go drink with you and you force me to ditch my wine for booze but it works because you care about me despite my solitary life so we remained long distance bfs and think about each other constantly. is that something

Mihawk being a recluse but going out of his way to visit his bf regularly is proof enough

[thisislittlerunaway]

Right, maybe I’m just having my moment, but in this post I’m gonna rant because I am getting very, very sick of eating mouldy bread and crumbs at the waffle house nowadays 🤢. It is demoralising, is it not?

Firstly, please don’t attack me, I’m as much a hardcore shipper as you are, but undeniably my rationality never stops me from playing devil’s advocate. It has been vexing seeing the fandom going back and forth with theories just to keep the Lukola ship afloat amid the reality of L dating and N moving on from captaining the ship.

As much as I love Nic and Luke, I don’t plan to give up my grasp on reality to fool myself into delusion. I’m way too old and realistic for that, and by crossing over to delulu land I would be making what I believe real in my mind, rather than observing something real and appreciating it, which is how I believe I got into this fandom.

So far evidence has shown N & L seem to be very different people in terms of work ethics, career projection, choice of friends, attitude to fans and fame, and PR strategies among other things. Plus, as much as the fandom tries in its most creative ways to dismiss this, Luke does have an ‘alleged’ gf whom he takes seriously enough to bring with him almost everywhere, and who has somehow stuck around for almost a year. Say what you like but Luke’s actions don’t scream one-sided from A at all. And who is she to be so powerful to ‘force’ him into bringing her everywhere?

I ship Lukola, but I don’t NEED them to exist. If there really isn’t anything between them (ever, or anymore) apart from a good friendship, it is OK, I just want to know.

Promotion period is over. We have given S3 so much hype and this has resulted in amazing success and public recognition. Luke is still with A and seemingly distancing himself from the B’ton bubble, N has moved on to other projects, so why can’t they just release us from this rollercoaster of emotions by confirming once and for all that they are just friends. I bet some fans (like myself) will appreciate being freed from the misery.

The only possible reason I can think of to explain why we are stuck here in the WH with all this mess is perhaps when N & L were chosen as S3 leads, their contract got renewed and part of it requires them to drive this dating narrative for as long as they are cast members. It is likely Shondaland has learnt from previous seasons and QC how powerful fans can be when they wholeheartedly believe in a ship and decided to fully capitalize on this, not just for S3 but for as long as they can. Conveniently they have N & L who are very close and comfortable with each other, and the very hard working Nic who seems to have chemistry with everyone and understands how a fandom works way too well.

So, as per their contract, N & L cannot publicly claim any gf/bf, but of course neither Netflix nor Shondaland can stop them living their personal lives, or stop their friends and tabloids from digging into N and L’s private lives for publicity. I can imagine this to be suffocating, I wouldn’t be surprised if L did find it too much and just wanted to get away from it all as soon as possible, hence his behaviour since Part 2 premier. This is obviously bad for publicity and potentially upset N + Shonda who work super hard for B’ton and S3 to be a success. I suspect there is tension and disagreement behind the scene, and while they want to keep us believing in Lukola, they really can’t control Luke’s life. This explains all the mixed messages we are getting.

So now we have it, an awkward situation where our beloved find themselves damned if they do and damned if they don’t. So much conflict of interest, so strong also is the sentiment from fans who are ready for the next backlash in response to any upsetting news that no one wants to risk losing the support by officially busting the bubble.

Hence we are all stuck. Luke buried himself in the sand with HBS ver 2 and Nic buries herself in work. We are left starved, only barely kept alive when Netflix, Shondaland and some cast/crew occasionally drop some BTS and info to keep us interested.

This was never what I signed up for when I joined this fandom. I am frustrated, a bit heart broken, and getting more and more cynical each day. I am hanging dearly on to my seat in the waffle house but trust me, some days I wish I had never got here in the first place.

End of my rant, I’ll probably sulk a bit and get back here tomorrow to continue with all this shipping business 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Have a good day!

Can you write a femme reader who’s like Legolas from Lord of the Rings

(As an Elf, Legolas had the abilities typical of his race. He could walk silently on grass and snow leaving minimal footprints, allowing him to advance unhindered. His eyes were sharper than that of Men, seeing through great distances and in the dark. He could even sleep while walking, which contributed to allowing him to travel 45 leagues in less than four days with Aragorn and Gimli. He tamed unruly horses with only a few words, without needing reins or saddles.)

Apparently, Legolas also lives deep within the forest with his dad as well so you can write the reader taking her role as a ranger scouting the area for devils to eliminate

Also, it’s seen in The Hobbit that before meeting his friend, Gimli, Legolas had always have a distaste towards Dwarves so similar situation with the reader, except it’s on sight when it comes to devils so the first time meeting before entering the relationship, she’s pretty much hell bent on trying to kill the half devil brothers and maybe even Nero as well

“Better to kill the wrong one than to leave them alive to commit further atrocities”

The reader’s father is also deathly protective of her, so much to the point of almost beheading her future bf to keep her safe until she kind of convince him that they’re devils but they’re not bad

Legolas also have remarkable marksmanship skills and extremely athletic. The fact that he could potentially run full speed while keeping it little to no sound is terrifying as well

Oh yeah I read the Hobbit and saw the movies way back in the day. Had a little bit of a crush on the movie version too. Enjoy.

¤ Dante ¤

-You've gotta be the most badass scout Dante has ever seen.

-You're stealthy, great with horses, fast, durable, strong, smart, and you're an elf of all things? How freaking awesome is that?

-Seriously though, Dante has never seen an elf before in his life, so your whole existence is a huge shock to him.

-He is very curious about everything, poking your ears and asking you endless questions, comparing you to the elves he's read about in old stories.

-Is kinda scared of your overprotective dad, but after cracking a few dad jokes, they hit it off great, so it's unlikely Dante will be beheaded anytime soon.

-You guys are the definition of "enemies to lovers". You started out a righteous ranger ready to rid the world of filth like him, but then grew fond of him and ended up abandoning the mission to be wit him. Your dad was a little mad, but after meeting the man himself, got over it and accepted you two.

■ Vergil ■

-Vergil always saw you as a weak little elf trying desperately to kill him, all in vain.

-Considering that every attack you tried to land on him was effortlessly deflected, one would think that was true. However, after your "meet cute" when you decided to put aside violent tendencies and explore a healthier relationship, Vergil got to see how strong you really were.

-You were fast, very fast, perhaps faster than anyone he'd ever met in his life; you could disappear with the speed of a pronghorn and grace of a deer.

-You were also unbelievably quiet, sneaking around dry woods or upon layers of crunchy snow without making a sound, a feat not even Vergil could achieve.

-You were also a very beautiful little elf, Vergil had to admit, and just like the fairy tales he and his mother read together when he was little, you were a spry and gifted archer.

-He is well aware of your imposing father, by the way, and does not feel threatened in the least. If he tries to have the half devil killed, his attempts will fail, and then Vergil will come after him, with every intent of ending his life.

□ Nero □

-Nero couldn't understand why you kept trying to kill him. He'd never done anything to hurt humanity and had no intention to, so why were you so sure he would?

-It took a long time, and many months of an exaggerated, violent game of tag, but you finally understood that, and decided that maybe after all this time, you didn't want Nero dead. You just wanted Nero.

-Nero thought it was pretty cool that you were an elf, seeing as he never even knew those existed.

-Finds your stealthiness and amazing archery skills mindblowing, and while it's unlikely he'll ever pick up a bow himself, he still thinks it's cool.

-You make the absolute best scout for devil hunting missions because you can sneak up on the enemy before they're even aware of your existence.

-Is a bit scared of your overprotective dad and his constant death threats, but thankfully, you managed to calm your dad down and explain that Nero is a good 1/4 devil.

-Saw you sleepwalking once and was terrified. You looked like you were awake, except your eyes were closed, and you were largely unresponsive. How? Just...how?

● V ���

-Since V is the sole human in the group, you never tried to act violently towards him....unless you count killing him with kindness an act of violence.

-You babied this man to such a degree, V was starting to feel more like your child than your significant other.

-Your pretty elf ears are a fascination of his; he loves to flick them and kiss them, and wonders if you'll ever put jewelry on them.

-V is the only man you've ever brought home whom your father accepts upon sight. This isn't because he's certain V will take care of you, it's because he knows V's too weak to do much of anything, let alone hurt his lovely yet powerful princess.

-V can't wrap his mind around how you're able to run so quickly over such long distances without making any noise.

-He also adores how good you are with horses. It's an unusual, yet charming skill--almost as if you could speak directly to them.

Hi. I need advice. My bf has depression and while it hasn't been terrible while we have been dating , recently he seems more distant and has mentioned he feels stuck in life, he's constantly unsure now which is very not him and keeps quiet and says "I dont know" alot. We and his friends think his depression is slowly coming back, because obviously it doesn't go away. I dont know how to help, because I do feel like its putting a strain on our relationship, we're currently doing long distance due to work so we arnt able to have our similar routine. His communication skills are not the best, we have small arguments frequently mainly due to his lack of interest on the conversation or his small outbursts. Which at the time I didnt put two and two together but now it kinda make sense. I feel like he has become distant and dont seem engaged at all when we have little time to talk. While I feel for him, im getting frustrated because our fight seem to be the same pattern, of him not being able to communicate properly. I've expressed this before as this is all we have at the moment and he seems to understand but doesn't seem to make much effort of trying. I do think the distance has affected this and he doesn't seem to realize, he a very actions person and he has expressed that he feels useless bc he can't do much for me while I'm away. Were so well together in person but lately we seem like a completely different couple . I'm not sure what to do, I think I want to give him some space , which makes me a bit sad bc we hardly have much time to chat. I ask him if he needs alone time ,etc but he can't seem to answer me with a direct answer. During our relationship his depression hasn't been bad , its been maybe mild but nothing to this effect, it's never caused a shift in our relationship but this time it feels different. So im.not sure how to go about this. Any advice would help, I do love him and want our relationship to grow but the past couple of months it seems more draining and mentally exhausting.

I know this is a very, very late response, but when things get like this for depressed people, it can be a red flag for potential suicidal ideation.

That said, being depressed can also cause a lot of brain fog, which makes people indecisive, dissociative, unable to think to the future, etc. This happens because of how exhausting and draining depression can be, especially in a world that demands you always be doing something, anything, at every moment. People with depression are extremely susceptible to burnout.

He could need a change in medication/treatment, or a change in environment, or a change in his support systems. Or sometimes, it's just a temporary rut in life. Doing more positive and/or relaxing things can also help, such as colouring in books, going to a movie, starting a new series, visiting an animal sanctuary, going on a hike, going to an amusement park, etc. Things that don't require a lot of effort and can be simply enjoyed, depending on social tolerances (ex: a museum could be a bad idea because there's too many people and it overwhelms).

There's also the fact that the strain on your relationship could be the cause of the depression and not the other way around. Which is to say, because you guys aren't in your usual routines and aren't able to experience each other often, his depression is returning. A lot of depressed people rely on routine and partner support to supplement their treatments. Breaking routine in particular can leave someone feeling lost, hopeless, confused, stuck, and so on. Plenty of people need routine to feel purpose and direction in their lives.

Depression can cause more arguing because it can deplete one's ability to tolerate others. Again, this is because of how draining depression is, which leaves someone with significantly less spoons and overwhelmed easily. Shutting down is a natural defense mechanism and presents itself as aloofness, sudden bouts of anger, disinterest in anything, inability to conversate, and so on. There can be different ways to treat these individual symptoms which can improve the overall depression.

If he seems to struggle still with communication or explaining what he wants and thinks, have him start keeping a journal or notebook where he writes everything he is feeling, or even draws pictures. Have him jot down any time his mood dips and what happened at the time it did, and maybe he can find triggers for what's going on with him.

But, it is fair to be frustrated. You have your own feelings and likely own problems as well and for the support YOU needed to be taken away is absolutely a frustrating thing. It's a good idea for you to find other support in this trying time to maybe take the pressure off of him.

If you haven't already, I would communicate to him exactly how you're feeling, and that you want to help but you don't know what to do. Ask him what he needs most right now - a distraction? a discussion? a solution? - and follow through. If he can't decide about it, emphasize you're there for when he knows. Additionally, explain to him that there's always gonna be sometimes when you two can't be in person and that he can't fix everything every time, and that you don't expect him to.

Depression in Relationships: When to Say Goodbye

-Mod BP

[lightadarttomendyourheart]

never in a million years would i have thought i would have be returning home from my london trip with a bf. a long distance bf at that. honestly when i think about those relationships, they rarely work IMO. i know a lot do, but i never imagined myself in one, let alone with someone 7125 km away.

but when you said it, ignoring the fact i was drunk af, i couldn't believe my ears. and there is nothing i wanted more. the disbelief was immense. you. want to be with me. no matter how far away i am. no matter how often we get to see each other. you choose me.

i'm still wrapping my head around it. seriously i don't think it's sunk in yet. it's starting to, but not fully. even when you say things like you miss me and cuddling and that your parents love me and when i mentioned coming for xmas you lighting up like a christmas tree. idk why it's so hard for me to come to terms with. that you want me. truly. i guess i kind of think it's too good to be true. i've been obsessed with you for 4 years and we go on this amazing trip together finally and have the absolute best time, and then you literally are like ok let's fucking do this. when does this ever happen. this is movie kind of shit guys. this shit doesn't happen in the real world. not normally at least. and never to me.

i used to fantasize about something like this happening to me all the time when i was a kid. i feel like i'm dreaming. like this isn't real life.

i still am playing everything in my head over and over. like, you want to be with me no matter the distance. what the fuck. you've been single for SO long and i'm the one you're choosing to settle down with (potentially). you trust me. and i really do trust you. but the amount of trust you have in me seriously is just.. fuck. telling you about everything and i feel like the copious amounts of guys in my life and you're like nah i just wanna know the situation but i trust you completely i'm not worried about that. like ???? where the fuck did you come from. how did you get so healthy. how do you just make me feel so comfortable with myself, all the time. it's so overwhelming. not in a bad way. just.. makes me feel like there's a catch. and i know there's not. i think the catch is one of us has to move. that we're literally oceans apart. and we have to navigate that.

i've never met anyone like you. i've maybe never felt more myself with anyone i've ever been with. we talk and we laugh and we kiss and we discuss. we definitely don't agree on everything, but that's ok. i don't want to agree on everything. but we agree on the important shit. and we both love the same music. god it just comes so easy with you. how is it so easy. i felt like i had to work so hard with jake to have common ground. and with you, we don't just have common ground, we have common fields and valleys and everything in between. i don't even care if we like the same movies or shows because all i want to do is sit with you snuggled up in bed and talk for hours and hours about everything.

it's no wonder we never strayed from each other. thinking about the last 4 years, meeting on that boat transfer to albania. ever since then i knew there was something about you. something more. being so excited every single event cause you'd be there. that i'd get to see you. i never in a MILLION years fathomed we'd ever date, because duh, you live in england and i live in canada. i was always so sure we'd be a "what if" for so long.. even after our trip, i never imagined this.

we were legit meant to be. like.. in the most purest sense. and i am so fricken happy it happened this way and now, because i know i wouldn't have been ready for this years ago. i wouldn't have been able to fully commit myself to you long distance. i'd always be wondering what else is out there and likely insecure about you being so far away. this happened exactly when it was supposed to.

you know the theory of people who are meant to meet/be together are attached with invisible strings..

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break."

We were destined to meet. And now, this year, (which again, THIS IS MY FUCKING YEAR I FUCKING TOLD Y'ALL), we're finally together.

[a-nuisance-called-sam]

I hope you don't mind me giving my own opinion about your rant... but I'm gonna give it anyway ^^"

So first of all, I'm truly sorry that you're going through all of this ):

But now let's assume that when he liked you, you did accept his feelings. Or when you confessed to him, he accepted.

If you two became a couple back then and were still a couple... What would you both do now? Break up? Or try to make long distance work?

Don't get me wrong, I think it is extremely mature and sensible of you to feel like you don't wanna do long distance for the reasons you listed. Because as someone who has been in a long distance relationship for way too long already.... Yeah, it definitely isn't easy ^^"

But!!! I think it's sweet that he's willing to try. And I think it's at least worth going over all of the pros and cons with him. Really sit down with him, talk things over, and see if you can both come to a mutual understanding.

For example (just off the top of my head) :

Pros - you'll finally be with the person who you genuinely care for. Things can work out and lead to an amazing future together. The temporary distance can make your overall bond grow stronger. You both can look forward to every opportunity possible to see each other in person.

Cons - the distance may potentially be too much for either of you to handle. Lacking that closeness can become very lonely. You may think the worst (at least for me, I often worry that my bf may find someone better because he deserves better. That maybe after all this time, things just won't work out in the end. A lot of inner demons and self doubt, ya know? ^^") You may potentially end up parting ways even if you both give it your all.

But also keep in mind that sometimes, couples who are together in person every day still don't work out in the end.

It's obviously your decision in the end, and whatever your choice may be... Just know that everything will work out for you.

If you decide to be with him and things don't work out, at least you tried. If things do work out, then all of the difficult times will be totally worth it!

But if you both decide that yeah, a long distance relationship isn't a good idea... Then just look towards the future and never forget that you will find the right person who you're truly meant to be with.

And if this guy is the right person for you... then once you graduate from college, maybe you both will find your way back to each other (:

Oh! I also think it's worth thinking of some hard questions and asking him what his honest opinion is. Such as : how will the distance affect him. Will he be able to remain exclusively loyal to you. How serious is he about you. Etc.

Side thought : I'm not sure how far away your college/university is or what his life is like, but is it possible that maybe he can come visit you? o:

Like... I live in Northeast PA and certain parts of New York and even New Jersey aren't that far away from me (like 1 and a half to 2 hours). But other states like Ohio and West Virginia are much further away. Heck, even some PA cities like Pittsburgh are 5+ hours from me haha xD What I'm getting at is.... Sometimes going out of state isn't too bad. Other times it is ^^"

Seriously though. It's your life and your decision. I know this entire situation isn't easy and that you care about this guy, but you need to do what's best for you. If you genuinely don't think you can handle a long distance relationship (which again, I totally understand!), then there's no shame in admitting that and sticking to that.

You deserve to be happy and you deserve to have that closeness/intimacy you desire.

Anyway... I hope this isn't too unorganized, and I really hope what I've said doesn't make things even more unclear for you. With that being said, please don't hesitate to reach out/DM me if you ever need or want to talk about things. I'm not exactly the best at giving advice obviously lol but I'm here for you '•w•' 💙

Don't worry about it, I really happy that you are being so supportive of me at a time like this. It really makes me feel great. And you are really helping me to sort out my thoughts so thanks a lot! I really appreciate it. (Your advice is good and everything is in order so 10/10 for that so don't worry about it at all)

As for where things stand right now between me and the guy, here's the update: I told him about how I felt about long distance relationship and why I didn't what it but also told him that I was willing to try if he is and he heard me out and so we have decided not to rush into it and just let things happen naturally. We plan to be neutral about the relationship until I come back and if we still hold the same feelings for each other then we might become a thing.

I honestly think that's unlikely to happen but who knows. It's really like the right people but wrong time. Honestly I'm pretty sad about it but i think I will be sadder if things don't work out between us in a long distance relationship. We plan to stay in contact still and just see where things lead us. So just like you had said, if he's the one then maybe we will find our way back to each other.

We are going to meet up next week and maybe we'll discuss some things out or maybe not but I'm just glad that we are able to talk to each other again comfortably like we used to and for now I want to enjoy that.

[trashcherry]

So my husband was asking me if we threw the Disney princesses in an island hunger games style who would win and now we have an excel spreadsheet on it.

The rules were they can each bring one thing/person correlated to their skills/powers by the end of each of their movies, so for example Belle can't bring the beast because he became a dude and Rapunzel doesn't have magical long hair anymore. Let's say they all know they'll have to fight to the death and they know their opponents, we're assuming they'd try to bring magic if they could because well, Elsa. Also they have to stay in the island (no running to the ocean, sorry Ariel and Moana). And the island is equipped with potable water, trees, some animals.. And obviously, only one princess can survive in the end.

So we say Jasmine would bring Rajah because I highly doubt she'd use Jaffar as a genie since he fucks up everything AND he put her in a bikini against her will so fuck him. And without magic and any survival skill what is she gonna do.. Unless all the magical girls died first and then her tiger could maul everyone.

Snow White also has no skill or access to magic besides a magic mirror and what's she gonna do lug that shit around with her? Nah, she brings her bf with a sword (don't you wish evil queen didn't fall to her death and got eaten by vultures now?)

Aurora could bring one of the fairies and put everyone to sleep.. And then babe just needs enough cold blood to slit their throats.

Belle could potentially bring the witch that cursed the beast but what are the chances my girl would actually come, idk I don't think the witch would be too keen to help Belle..

If Rapunzel had her hair, besides being sort of indestructible she'd have mad fighting skills and shit but no go, Flynn took that away from us. (we gave her the skillet too for fairness)

Tiana would bring Mamma Odie because it's the closest thing to magic she has but potions and stuff would be very hard to actually win a fight soooo, only if they managed to poison all the drinking water maybe.

Cinderella could bring the fairy godmother but she can only transfigure things that already exist... It would be useful but remember Cinder baby has no survival or fighting skill, fairy could make her an armor, a safe house, a weapon, but how long would she survive if she doesn't know how to use it. She could turn everyone into say, pumpkins?

Now. Moana, Merida, Mulan and Pocahontas all have survival skills, Merida and Mulan can actually fight and use a bow which gives them distance from their targets. Mulan has Mushu and by the end of her movie he got reinstated as a protector again so that counts for some magic, at least she has access to fire. Merida is brave af (hah), Pocahontas has all the animals on her side and idk man she's baddass af, I think she'd survive at least for a while.

Now, the big guns here would be Elsa, obviously, Ariel because she can bring the literal king of the ocean and this is an island, and Moana bringing Maui, that's all the big magic we have..

Who'd kill who? Who would survive? Who would form alliances? Who would die first and why Snow White?

Anyways, that's our afternoon for today.

Summer Tradition

Zero x gn! reader

Sfw

Cw:yandere character, alluding to Stockholm Syndrome if you squint

(I had a pole on Discord and whoever won would get a fluffy drabble and your wasp man won)

Summary: enjoy a picnic with your wasp bf

The Unforgettable scent of fresh air hits you as you stepped outside of your base for the first time in a long time.

" Are you enjoying the warm summer sun my love?" Zero says putting on an old the backpack filled with various things he needs to make this particular day special for you.

You look back at him and nod noticing the backpack.

"Honey bee, what that?"

Zero's antennas parked up like that nickname, " O-oh? This? It's a secret I can't show you until we get to our destination"

"Soo... he wanted to take me somewhere how do we get there

Zero stretches his wings it's been a while since he threw a great distance but he was by no means rusty

" I will carry you of course" he says his arms pulling you closer before lifting your legs up in to his other arms carrying you bridal style. he leads down to whisper " I've always wanted to carry you like this~"

His forehead nuzzles yours his wings began to beat faster and faster for long he started hovering the ground he cooed seeing you retract against his chest afraid of him potentially dropping you. He could never, wasp hybrids were much stronger than humans and not on that he was a soldier so caring you was child's play.

His wings effortlessly carried him higher and higher as he held you close. Heat flushes your face at the sudden closeness you look up at Zero who looks back, moving his mandibles down in his version of a smile.

The trip was going to be a little longer to avoid his old colony. The thought his old Colony mates ripping your way from his arms made his hold to tighten around with you. As if you read his mind your hand rubs his chest calming his anxiety and soothing his grip.

"Love, look we are here" he says pointing over at a massive tree in the middle of a dense forest, his slow it's beating as he begins to decend " you did so well for me darling~" Zero cooed at your bravery for flying with him " I was very happy to share that moment with you~"

His feet finally touched the ground as you gently lets you go. This place was strange it was daytime yet Under the trees massive canopy was dark because all the trees around it's canopy grew tall enough to shut out most sunlight.

The trees vines that wrapped around and dangled from the tree had bioluminescent buds on the vines like natural fairy lights.

Even though everything had little sunlight the flowers still flourished under the bioluminescent fairy lights, tiny wildflowers and moss roses decorated patch of green grass.

A tiny creek rushed through, the calming sound of rushing water only added to this place's peacefulness.

Zero fumbled with his backpack while you, as if you were a child again ran to the big tree wanting to look at the fairy light Vines and the tiny wild flowers, maybe if you're lucky find a mushroom or two,not pick just to look at it.

His heart swelled with love watching his darling frolic happily. Zero finished setting up the blankets and called his darling over. A small beam of light shined down on you like an angel and suddenly he lost his ability to speak.

"I-im very happy that you like it here. I was very nervous about taking you here before, haha...ha!"

His heart was beating fast as you sat down next to him, he has known you for quite a while now yet he still feels like he's meeting you for the first time.

"What's all this?" You ask

"Oh! I heard of this summer tradition with humans called 'pick-nick' and it means very specifically have lunch outside with loved one. I-i love you so it's only natural-"

Your scooted that's the wasp talked on you leaned on him.

Zero stopped feeling your sudden closeness looking down at you. "Oh, hello-" he couldn't help but chirp as he wrapped his around you with other hand on top of yours, fingers just barely intertwining. If wasp hybrids could blush he would be turning red.

He opens his backpack pulling out tupperware of foods like cut fruit and cooked meat.

" I don't think I understand this 'pick-nick' thing... in the human book I read it's supposed to be a small lunch... if this doesn't fill you up I can cook you something when we get back home"

Zero says as he opens up a case of fruit. He holds it up to you to grab but you shake your head " feed it to me please"

Zero although he was screaming in pure happiness on the inside he kept it calm "as you wish" .

He picked up a strawberry with his fork, watching attentively as you take the strawberry in your mouth and start chewing your eyes light up at the sweetness. Thinking Zero would like it you grab a second for it and the second strawberry and hold it up to his face

"For me? I- ok." He opens his mouth showing you rows of sharp teeth gently sliding the strawberry off the metal fork before chewing. "Thank you it's very good~"

Zero continues to hand-fed you until all the fruit and meat were gone. He fumbled with his backpack trying to find the sandwiches. While you laid against his sides the Rushing water threatening to lull you to sleep. When he finally finds the Tupperware he noticed that you were struggling to keep your eyes open.

"Darling? Are you tired?"

"No im fine"

" it's okay we can finish the sandwiches later. you can sleep on me"

Zero lays on the blanket pulling you down gently with him having you lay down his chest, with the flow centimeter in the Rushing Water and his heartbeat your heavy eyes finally close.

Zero coos his hand rubbing your back gently.

Yes he finally sees why humans like this tradition a lot and he can't wait to do it next year.

Twisted Wonderland Reaction Part 15 ~ THIS IS NOT A GODDAMN OTOME GAME Edition

Hello everyone!

Welp, after a long work week/weekend, I finally finished reading the first part of the Phantom Bride event! This was actually one of 4 twst events I hadn’t previously read ahead, the others being Vargas Camp, Endless Halloween Night and that Epel-centric one JP got back in winter. I tried reading it afew months back, but 30 seconds in I was jumped by 4 of the twst boys proposing to me (ROOK INCLUDED) and I immediately noped out and spent the remainder of the night screaming into my pillow. Soooooo...yeah...

But I’m really loving it so far, Eliza is the worst and everyone is being petty af and it’s awesome! Warning: Pic heavy, violence, swearing, simping (A LOT OF SIMPING), twst boys trying and failing to be smooth, references to my ocs and some Idia slander. LET’S GET IT!

Sorry, Ace. You gotta get in line behind Rook, Vil, Malleus, and Lilia...

I feel like this was put in for those who felt Elsa was making some profound statement against romantics when she said something similar.

Always, my handsome, sexy, sus-as-fuck hunter of love! The blue really suits him and I know some ppl think he looks odd without his hat but I don’t. Rook is beautiful with or without it. Ohhhhh, I can’t wait to read his vignette! I think Eliza will REALLY like him but hopefully not because then she and I might have to fight.😊

Grim, when are we NOT being evicted or being threatened with eviction??

THE FUCK YOU MEAN “AGAIN”?! Don’t you think you should have warned us of the potential of this shit when you airdropped us into that shack?! God this bird man makes me sick!

Bitch unless you’re putting me up in a new place (preferably Diasomnia or Pomefiore for reasons...👀) KICK THE GHOSTS OUT! Actually, where are the usual ghosts when this is happening? I’d think they’d put up a fight too wouldn’t they??

Ortho is such a sweet little bro. But I do understand Idia’s appeal, hell, 17-year-old weeb me probably would have killed for a BF like Idia! Though he’d probably only want a uper petite Asian girl or a kawaii idol or e-girl type to live out his anime waifu fantasies. Don’t boo ,me, you know I’m right. 

That’s Disney talk for IDIA’S GOING TO FUCKING DIE

Have I mentioned that this bird man makes me sick?? 💀

Idia has absolutely doxxed ppl with Ortho’s help. Don’t tell me how I know this, I just do. 

Isn’t it always at this fucking school?! 

Edward Elric vibes right here, maybe Riddle should drink more milk...

Floyd, please shut the fuck up before Riddle puts a collar on you...

You shut up too!

 I’m still not over his bullshit from the last part of Book 5 either. GET HIS ASS VIL!

She’s awful beyond awful but I like her design at least, reminds me a lot of Emily from Corpse Bride.

Why does Idia sound like me trying to get my non twst friends into twst?? 😭😂

Somewhere in the distance, I can hear my brother’s girlfriend squeeing. I got her into twst a while back and she is a TREMENDOUS Leona simp, which is hilarious for me since I simp so hard for all the ppl Leona hates. 😂

And the violence has begun! But really, this shocked me when I first saw it, like DAMN THIS BITCH REALLY JUST BACKHANDED LEONA FUCKING KINGSCHOLAR! To be fair he did a pretty shitty job wooing her but still, violence is never the answer, kids! 

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😍😍😍😍😍😍 I really wish this was voiced because we know from Book 5 that Vil can sing quite well and I would just DIE if Vil sang to me! MMMMMFFFFF I’m getting giddy just imagining it! 

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HER?! So what if Vil doesn’t have a dog, I would think she’d prefer to be the only bitch in his life anyway! 

Okay, look, I know that was terrible. But seriously, it was at this moment that Eliza officially ended up on my shitlist. I really hope she doesn’t slap Rook in the next part cause I will dropkick a ghost, I do not care! 

And unfortunately, Sebek was doomed from the start. Sometimes I wonder if he ever envies Vidaria for obvious reasons...

She’s got a point tho, one of the few times she actually said something sensible. Say what you will, but Sebek totally deserved that slap.

SIDONIE! COME GET YO MANS!!! 💀💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aww, at least he’s being sweet abt his obvious failure. It’s funny cause when I write him with Sidonie, he’s very smooth and charming but here? An absolute dork! But a good natured dork and that’s what Sidonie loves about him. 💖

This cannot end well...

Bitch WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?! Why are you even here?!

Oh god, Jade is so goddamn charming that my heart would absolutely go if he offered me a flower. But at the same time it’s Jade so I would be terrified as well. Such odd, polarizing feelings he stirs within me...👀

WHERES MY STICK

Jade was literally the closest thus far in yeeting her back to the afterlife and you snitched on him because you were lonely in the slap corner? PET-TY!

Ya’ll ain’t shit, you know that?! NONE OF YOU! Except Rook, we’re still cool and haven’t needed to beat him with my stick yet. The rest of these clowns tho? Maybe THIS is the reason twst isn’t an otome game! 

Welp, let’s see how these fellas fare with Cater’s cringe ass nae nae talk...

Sadly not any better...💀

WHAT SEBEK SAID

Ugh, once again I find myself agreeing with this bitch. Modern dating is a nightmare and I am so glad I’ll be getting married soon myself to probably one of the last men on the planet who truly is a decent person. 

Oooohh, I really like Idia’s tux tho, and I’m not an Idia simp in the slightest but damn it suits him!

Good to see his priorities are in order. About to die? Yeah no biggie. About to die without reading the newest manga, TRAGIC!!!

In all seriousness tho, while pulling for Ace, I got Ortho’s ceremonial robes card and after reading the accompanying vignette, I can kinda understand why everyone’s so reluctant to help him. As a painfully anxious introvert myself, I REALLY hate Idia’s apathetic attitude. It’s going to take some PROFOUNDLY deep and tragic shit in Book 6 for me to think differently of him but as of now, nah I can’t with him, especially since I know ppl like him irl and they are actually the worst. 

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, something tells me I’m going to be screaming into my pillow ALOT more when part 2 drops. Pray for me, guys...💙

Eliza better slap him first, if she want’s any sort of redemption in my eyes. Sadly I didn’t get Ace or Epel and I won’t be pulling hard for either since Vil will be coming home soon. And since the other vignettes are still locked, with that, the first part of the Phantom Bride event is done! So far, so good! And I just realized, I began this post with an Ace pic and I’m ending it with an Ace pic! Not intentional though, I swear! ❤

girl help i'm suffering. i've been talking to this guy online (met through a now ex bf) for about two full months and we fell really hard for each other. the main issues were that 1. i'm still recovering from my prev relationship and 2. it would be an ldr (from michigan to pennsylvania), which we both currently have no idea how to navigate nor did we have a plan so we agreed not to date. yesterday we also agreed to take some time away from each other bc of my first thing, and i know i'll work my stuff out in about a month or two given some time and self care. the issue is: what then? i don't want to move on from him. i really really love him and i know men are a dime a dozen and they'll always come and go but i love him so much and he loves me too. he doesn't even know what i look like and he said he didn't need to because he he fell in love with me just from about everything you could get from texts and the four hour long calls we would have. all of today i've just been looking at potential summer internships in pittsburgh and maybe even going to grad school at cmu (cs/ds is my major, cmu is a top school for it but the tuition is $$$)

i love him so much. and honestly i think it's ok to chase a man if i'm chasing up and not down yknow?? maybe it's silly and this will all burn and fizzle out but i think i would really regret never trying. he's thoughtful and maybe he's bad at texting but he always took up my offers to call whenever i knew he was available and i just feel like i could spend forever with him. i've always wanted to live in a big city away from my hometown, but now i want it to be with him.

what do i do? :( i just feel like i want to hold onto these feelings just a little longer. the pain reminds me that it was all real and not just in my head. i'm done sacrificing everything for school and success, i gave up my hobbies and all of my energy and time and happiness just to succeed, and i feel so lifeless. i want to be young and spontaneous and i know i can move on and maybe it's what i technically should do, but i just want to be silly and stupid and make safe dumb decisions and be with him even if it's just for a summer. of course i won't compromise my entire future, but i just really want to see him.

it could very well be that you're truly in love. it could also very well be that you're infatuated & looking for comfort after a breakup. this is a phase i went through fresh off my ex as well, so i understand. it's very mature of you to sort your shit out before jumping into something. rebounding would be unfair to all parties involved. the rest of my answer is w the assumption that you'll have gotten over your breakup in a couple months & you're still into him, but it's totally cool if you sort of got some clarity & realized maybe this isn't what you want.

as a fellow stem major who dedicates lots of time to school, i can definitely understand where you're coming from. i really don't recommend you tank your career either haha, but your choice seems very strategic & reasonable. an internship where he lives is the perfect opportunity to expose yourself to what it would be like to be in physical proximity w him, while benefiting from the stay simultaneously.

my one thing is--def have a trial period. your internship could be your trial period. maybe you guys have great chemistry apart, but in person he's not what you expected him to be. the fact that he doesn't know how you look like does play a factor as well, even tho i don't doubt that he's crazy about you. try it out, basically, but consider the internship a test run--a chance to get a feel for him in person & see if it's something worth pursuing.

i'm waaary of long distance, just bc it's so fucking hard to make work. at the same time, i'm also a firm believer that your soulmate isn't only found in your city--they can be anywhere in this world. and if you wanna try to make it work w someone who lives far, then that's beautiful and should be honored. i just wouldn't jump the gun and revamp my entire life for someone i didn't meet in person yet if i were you. while i'm sure you spent a lot of time w him, online personas can have a way of being very filtered. who knows. maybe he's extremely authentic. that's what you're trying to find out. also watch some long-distance videos for advice. just research the fuck out of that dynamic. i think that would go a long way.

never stop asking yourself if he'd do the same for you. it's okay to be the one to make some sacrifices at first, but he should return that energy somehow. has he expressed that he'd be willing to at all?

and pls pls pls, be safe. women always go the extra mile of telling guys they're literally all they have. that is so unsafe. let other people know about your plan, if you go through w it (for safety reasons). make the smartest choices you possibly can. ik you're crazy in love right now, but do not. dooo not. put all your eggs in one basket. try it out, but do not put this guy on this impossible pedestal. do not assume he's perfect when you haven't even met him in person yet. do not put yourself in financial debt for feelings you think have a possibility of fizzling out. i think both of y'all need to slow down. not to completely ditch the prospect, but to slow down.

safe dumb decisions, just like you said. not permanent ones for a potentially temporary feeling.
