Hello again
Yesss, Predaking *needs* a Queen, and Magnus is perfect - beautiful and strong..
The idea of Magnus actually being easy took me OUT but you know.. i actually love it. No one knows about it because they just.. never try. And Predaking is charming anyway, so Magnus is opening up pretty quickly..
omg Ratchet being so done with Optimus' pining that he wordlessly thanks Predaking for giving him something to goad Optimus with, relieved when the Prime stomps to the ship..
Even if they weren't already determined to end the War (something that will be much easier with Predaking as a secret agent on the Nemesis, my god imagine Prime and Predaking teaming up, holy shit) they would be determined anyway once Magnus tells them "nothing's going to happen until the war is over anyway". I can imagine them waiting for things to settle down and then pinning Magnus between their bigger frames, smugly pointing out that the War is over now..
They're very understanding though, despite their *need* to breed him - giving him more time, until one day he bashfully tells them that he thinks he's ready now.. He's an absolute wreck by the time the sun rises again, definitely not getting out of berth for the foreseeable future..
Also omg. Imagine Optimus and Predaking playing with Magnus' refineries. His wells. His tits. They're so big, and warm, and soft.. It's so easy to mark them up as well, pulling on the little nubs and biting them, pulling the sweetest noises out of Magnus.. And when they finally spark him up, and his tits start leaking whenever they're being too rough...
Hiiiiiiiii!!!!!!
People always assume Magnus will just coldly shoot them down, so they give up before they even try. 😔😔 Poor fools don't know how close they were to ultra magnussy 😔😔😔 tragic
I think ratchet's been putting up with optimus pinning for TOO LONG. The first time Optimus and Magnus meets Optimus walked away like 😳👉👈 and went to bother ratchet about it, then every time Magnus showed up after that ratchet had to deal with Optimus doing the same thing. They may be friends but ratchet is SICK OF IT. He's tried many solutions over the years to get Optimus to act on it (Optimus' last relationship was with Megatron, who was more upfront in their relationship and usually initiated stuff. Rip Megatron u were a good one b4 u started doing space crack)
As soon as Cybertron recovers enough to have bars, Ratchets going to buy Predaking a cyberbeer, he swears it.
I probably worded that wrong earlier lol, the autobots are def trying their best to end the war!!!! but having a secret dragon turncoat that's infiltrated the nemesis helps a LOT lmao. I am now imagining a comedy of errors where Predaking keeps trying to bite Megatron's head off on the nemesis and various factors (starscream, well placed door frame, too many witnesses, starscream again, dark energon, starscream a third time, etc) keep stopping it from happening. There's gotta be some dramatic reveal too, Predaking and Optimus teaming up to fight would be SO COOL.
Mayhaps after their team-up is the first time they share Ultra Magnus, after gaining a new appreciation for each other in battle ☺️ (and maybe they fuck in the aftermath too☺️☺️☺️)
Oooooohhhhhhhhgggggg them working together to tease and grope Ultra Magnus' Megamilkers 🤤🤤🤤 2 titties mean one person can put all their focus on one boob... It's a good thing cybertronians have chest plates and don't wear actual clothes because I'm sure Ultra Magnus would always be covered in hickies lol
And I mean, they've all talked about sparklings one day being a reality... Maybe once they get to a point post-war where bots are starting to have sparklings again, Ultra Magnus goes and gets his birth control removed and then surprises Predaking and Optimus later that night, when they're all in bed together (the biggest bed in the goddamn world look at the size of those three)... Like you said, Ultra Magnus isn't going ANYWHERE for the next few days, his hips need to recover and his partners are taking every chance they can to fill him up again ;)

Jungkook explains, “And this,” he brings a hand to your cheek, squeezes your flesh between your fingers until you protest, “is my girlfriend.”
For a few moments, the screws in your head fall loose, a mechanic buzzing indicating a technical error. You realise that since your parents, you’ve never really introduced each other with the grand B-or-G-word until now.
lmaooo b-or-g word hahahah, also!!! you're telling me NAMJOON is his boss- rid 😭😭😭 pls, the best bro-ship ever; namkook always slays 😫😫
“Keep praising this man,” you tease, looking back to your boyfriend and shuffling his hair (to which he clicks his tongue), “he kinda likes it. Won’t shut up about it.”
omg if this isnt the sweetest repay istg ughhhh. i can totallyyyy imagine jungkook talking about joon the whole time 😂
And the fact that Namjoon noticed within a minute of observing the two of you… says quite a lot.
namjoon the explorer observer.
He breathes against your face; sighs, his quiet voice telling you, “Not yet.���
rid seriously wtf, my patient-o-meter is slowily exploding 🤨🤨 hurrryyyyyy with the reason I WANNA KNOWWW
That you’re in love with him?
oh god, dying to see kooks reaction if oc really said that. damn.
Insanity clouding his mind, he smiles against your cheek, whispering, “Just. You drive me crazy… my gorgeous girl.”
SHYT UP UOU 2 ARE DRIVING ME CRAZYYYY 😭😭😭🤯 JUST CONFESS ALREADG FFS
When you wake up the next morning, his blanket is on the floor and your backs turned towards each other.
why do i think jk is acting cold tho...
“But,” you still argue, gulping, “there’s still something you’re not telling me. When you showed me the tattoo, you still didn’t look entirely happy. And you didn’t last night.” You wait, discouraged when his expressions fall. “Right now… you don’t either.”
DONT BREAK MY HEART IM FUCKING SERIOUS OKAY????!!#?#!#
Through all the hesitation, he smiles, biting his lip before he drops the bomb, “It’s about your mom.”
?????
“He said— he said he was looking for information… or anything against me. Not for the newspaper, but for your mother. Just anything. He took pictures of Ria,” Jungkook scoffs, shaking his head. The smirk on his face is ingenuine, heartbreaking. “My goddamn cousin…”
omfg, at this point my hatred for mom is just unbelievable. just how much of a bad mother does she want to be? oc is her freaking daughter, she should feel ashamed of doing so 😞 and god, i was so scared of nara entering the scene...
The wrinkles on her forehead deepen, thoughts of lawsuits undoubtedly circling her mind. It pains you that this is probably still a bigger worry to her than your breaking heart.
yeah, it hurts me too. ugh, why tf is she so selfish
Pause. Then, “Are you seriously going to file a lawsuit? Against your own mother, are you insane?”
im scared rid PICK ME UP PLS
“I…” Jungkook hesitates. And then, he doesn’t deny your statement, but answers, “I endure it for you.”
STOPPPP THATS SO BOYFRIEND OF HIM 😭😭😭 MAYBE MORE THAN BF
this chapter was such a rollercoaster- i swear. it was just truly amazing. i appreciate your writing skills sm, and i'm just blown away at this point... i could feel and imagine whatever you wrote, yk? u're an awesome writer and idek what else to say cause im so amazed 🙌 ily so much rid <333333 ❤️❤️

Hello, hello!! It's me, your favorite graduate, back with a burning question! ;)
I am in the middle of episode 11 of Why R U? (literally paused in the middle of it because I am WAY too invested in FighterTutor and am seriously dreading what is coming) - what a messy, cringey show. There are so many freaking characters, and my question is inspired by one that I have come to love, Kae. He is Tutor's boss at the bakery, and after he (bravely, in IRL standards) confronts Fighter's dad I realized just how much I appreciated his character and how annoyed I am that the show couldn't cut down its cabal of unnecessary characters to focus on more interesting ones. Not only is he an astonishingly great example (for a BL!!) of a queer "elder" in the community - he protects Tutor from creepy customers, gives him a job when he needs one and looks for help when he needs more work, is working-class himself, and tries to give advice to this lonely queer kid he's taken under his wing - he also seems to be a rare less-stereotypical portrayal of a Thai person with darker skin (if not the only, honestly, in my limited experience watching these shows).
So! My question is, are there any side characters or even guest characters (like Kae is billed as) who you wish had been given more latitude or importance in the plot/story of a BL?
OMG what a great question. YES SO MANY. Let me see if I can come up with a top 10. Does it have to be individuals? Can I pick a few couples (I won’t go too far because therein lies madness)? 
Top 10 Side Characters I Wish We Got More Screen Time
In no particular order.  
Tumblr media
1. Touch & Daisy in Secret Crush On You
Is anyone surprised by this choice?
Tumblr media
2. Choi Yu Na, JaeYeong’s bisexual bestie in Semantic Error
She was just... so effortlessly cool. Do I need to say more? 
Tumblr media
3. TulHin in Love By Chance 2
I LOVE THEM, OKAY. Classic whipping boy, my goddamn catnip. And these two actors had amazing chemistry. Ae’s whole arc and character should have been dropped from this script in favor of more time with these truly damaged goods. Yes, I said it. Sorry Perth. 
AND ALSO 
Tumblr media
4. Keen in Love By Chance 2
Can’t believe I chose multiples from MAME trash but heh, whatever is necessary for the truth right? Basically this show needed a massive rewrite, but it could have been done. 
That’s what’s so frustrating about MAME’s stuff, it’s so close to being amazing...  It’s like this fantastic 5 course meal but you will be barfing at some point. Maybe the end? Maybe the middle? Maybe multiple times? It’s a regurgitation surprise! 
Tumblr media
5. Fong the Philosopher in Still 2gether 
Khaotung is untaped genius at physical comedy. I love him in this role SO HARD. I think we got a lot from him in season one, but I wanted more in season 2. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. PokeTongue in Gen Y 2 & What Zabb Man
Look we all know that during Gen Y 2 they were actually pretending to be in some other show. And frankly, we all would have rather been watching that show. Then they got given an actual other show and we STILL wanted more of them. 
Tumblr media
7. ChampDoc in TharnType 2
I take the 5th. 
Tumblr media
8. Beer in Oxygen
I just wanna look at James but he’s getting his own series (Bed Friends) so I’m okay now. 
Tumblr media
9. Sky & Pai in La Cuisine 
Talk about crumbs. What? I mean WHAT WAS THAT? They had these two in their back pocket all along and DIDN’T use them? WHAT? 
Tumblr media
10. VegasPete in KinnPorsche
Oh I fucking said it. You were all thinking it from ep 10 on, weren’t you? Why the hell didn't this start in ep 5? Vegas was entirely unnecessary as a love interest for Porsche. It would have been fine, no BETTER, if Porsche & Vegas had developed as a friendship and Vegas had NOTICED Pete in a significant way much earlier.* 
* Don’t comment on this. I’m not interested in this weird KP fandom imaginary-connection muck-wanking thing you’re all AO3ing all over Tumblr like a bad rash. And I could not care less about the original y-novel.  
Honorable Mention
All the GLs that should have had more screen time like the cuties in Meow Ears Up, InkPa in Bad Buddy, and Friend Zone 2, and I could keep going.
Tumblr media
 The angry roommate ex lover in Love Class. I just really loved the actor and was very intrigued by the character. We could have spent much less time exploring the stalker story and more time with this boy and still kept the dumb sort KBL length. All in all, the weight of this narrative was all over the place but not using this character to the fullest was a problem.
The two besties of the seme in Mr Unlucky, SO CUTE.
The nerdy support boy who knows what it’s like to be gay and the artsy girl with serious self defense skills from Blueming.
The whole university friendship group that *almost* happened in Cherry Blossoms After Winter.
Tim in My Secret Love, preferably shirtless. 
Nutch in Not Me. 
Mew the ex boyfriend in Together With Me. I don’t know what they were doing with his character. And they didn’t either. But ho boy was he EASY on the eyes. So easy. I mean it takes work to pull attention away from MaxTul and he had ALL MY ATTENTION. 
And (drum roll please) . . . 
Tumblr media
K.O. & HAO MEI (Love O2O) 
I will die on this tiny hill of censored bromance. More of them would have substantially improved this show. 
I'm not picking shows that couldn’t be saved. 
So I love KhunKaow in Brothers and CopyNampu in Top Secret Together and SanAei in You’re My Sky, Saint in Our Days, Jun in Love Area 2, but I don't think more of them could have save their respective shows because then it would have been MORE terrible show to watch. I call these the "I'm your huckleberry" awards. I give one each year to the couple that was the only good thing in an otherwise irredeemable show. Like Val Kilmer in Tombstone (bite me).
Tumblr media
Current as of Aug 2022, there are a bunch airing right now that could make this list.

Don't be scared to ask me to tag a post with any kind of tw or anything! There's a very very high chance I'll be more than willing to do so
Also you should check out my ao3 where I traumatize various cartoon characters in increasingly horrific ways, it's a lot of CSA nowadays because I recently realized I had some Abnormal Childhood Experiences so yeah. If you don't like reading about CSA you should probably not read my tmnt fics lmao
Also! I have aus. All the posts about it on this blog are tagged with the au names, all fics are on my ao3
Soulmates (Evil) AU: rottmnt soulmate au where nothing bad happens to Mikey :) nothing at all :) (I'm lying he has a horrible time) Content warnings: CSA, abusive relationships, rape culture, victim blaming, abuse apologism
Masterpost: Soulmates (Evil) AU
Jumpstart Separated AU: another goddamn separated au! Jennika and Raph are raised by Repo and Splinter (yes there is old man yaoi), Venus and Donnie are raised by Big Mama, Leo is raised by Warren Stone, and Mikey's raised by Draxum! Content warnings: CSA, bad parenting (including neglectful parenting and outright abuse), yeah the main things to worry about are the various forms of child abuse.

BNHA Chapter 289: “She Was Crying...”
mysterylover123
Tumblr media
OOH! Incoming Iida and Hado! That means we’re finally giving these two a chance to shine! Hooray!
Tumblr media
OK so he means Deku and Todo here. I don’t think Kacchan has ever rescued Iida (though give it time, man. That guy’s having enough character development ,it could still happen)
OH SHIT SPEAKING OF
Tumblr media
SHOTO YOU’RE NOW CARRYING TWO HALF DEAD BOYFRIENDS AND YOUR DAD?! HOW FUCKING STRONG ARE YOU NOW? IN ANY CASE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING OUR BBS!
Tumblr media
1) DEKU IS CONSCIOUS?!?! 2) Poor Shoto, 3) THANK GOD KACCHAN’S NOT DEAD (YET). 4) PLEASE DON’T DIE AND LEAVE SHOTO ALL ALONE!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Spider-Tomura? Damn AFO really is like his Mr Hyde split personality now.
Tumblr media
OOH I RECOGNIZE THOSE SPIRALS!!! HADO!!! IIDA!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I leave you three alone for five seconds...
Tumblr media
OOH NEJIRE IS PISSED. Yas girl. Time for that fight you got jipped of during the ol internship arc.
Tumblr media
DEKU WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. And wtf do you mean ‘stick’ Shigaraki? I know it’s probably a weird translator error but still. Stick him with what exactly? You might wanna think about rephrasing that.
Tumblr media
BACK TO THE REMATCH
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HOLY SHIT FINALLY?!?!  I’ve been waiting for this reveal for so long. AT LAST, CONSEQUENCES!!!
Tumblr media
I dunno Ochako, give it a few more villain encounters and you’ll probably have to do just that .Like, imagine if you zerog’d a noomu into the atmosphere? That’d probably save a lotta people. Just saying.
Tumblr media
Well, congrats Ochako. You went at least one whole chapter without the series feeling the need to remind us you’re just here to be Deku’s love interest. Must be a record.
Tumblr media
So Izuocha is like Togawice? That has some weird implications.
Tumblr media
In what way though?! Besides liking deku and kinda wanting to be like him?! What else in your backstories is supposed to be WE’RE NOT SO DIFFERENT YOU AND I
Tumblr media
Sigh. It just occurred to me that Bakugou and Todoroki both have trouble going more than one chapter without reminding us how much they care about Deku. So why doesn’t that annoy me so much? Is it just cause they’re guys? I mean, Toga liking Deku doesn’t irritate me either...I think it’s because whenever we bring up Toga, Bakugou and Todoroki’s feelings towards Midoriya, it’s so the series can develop their characters. It’s more than just reminding us that those feelings exist. With Ochako, it’s the same thing every time. Just “she likes Deku and thinks he’s cool and wants to be like him”. We get it. She’s been in the same place since chapter freaking 69. It’s been 200+ chapters since then. AT this point it’s time to either put up or cut out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK LET’S MOVE ON FROM THAT AND CONCENTRATE ON OUR BADASS ULTIMATE MOVE SCENE!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 OMG TOGA TEARS?!?! TOGA IS FREAKING CRYING?!!? Ok that’s it Ochako I am now firmly on the side of your opponent. 
Tumblr media
Or maybe not cause I was still glad to see Tsu save you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A cool teamup! I think. Tsuyu and Ocha vs Toga?
Tumblr media
TOGACHAKO FEELS. TOGACHAKO FEELS EVERYONE.
Tumblr media
You know. Platonically. About boys. Totally not about femslash or anything no sireee.  (you know, like that slumber party chapter in one of the light novels. Where the girls started talking about which girl they’d date. That kind of girl talk.)
Tumblr media
And we cut back to this shitshow with a montage of all the faces involved as GIGANTOMACHIA CRASHES THE PARTY! OK then. I’m pretty sure at this point our heroes are completely boned. 
So! a Lot happened there. First, Iida joined the fight. I’m not sure what he’ll be able to do against Shigaraki but hey! More backup is always good. And Iida and Shoto chilling together is also good. (and Iida’s mentor Manual is here too!). Shoto saved our boys and seriously needs to get on using those ice and fire powers to pull us out of this goddamn mess. Protecc them all Shoto! You can do it! Hado is here and firece. Since she’s good against giant villains I’m guessing she’ll be up against Gigantomachia. Though she might actually be pretty effective against Tomura, TBH. Like since fire clearly does nothing. (who am i kidding nothing’s gonna do anything against this guy at this point.
We got our Toga vs Ochako confrontation. I have no idea what’s gonna come of it but hopefully something does. Ochako seems to have developed some compassion for Toga, at least. I really wish it wasn’t just about “We both wanna be Deku." I feel like I need to do some deeper analysis to figure out why that bugs me so much TBH. Anyway, we’ve got a confrontation coming up! I have no freaking clue how they’re gonna get outta this.
ALSO, DEKU PLEASE STOP IT!!! KACCHAN ALREADY TOLD YOU TO RELY ON YOUR FRIENDS, DID YOU NOT HEAR HIM?!! IIDA, SHOTO, IT’S UP TO YOU TWO TO SCREAM SOME SENSE INTO THIS IDIOT. THIS LOVABLE IDIOT WHO’S ABOUT TO GET HIMSELF KILLED FOR NO GOOD REASON (It’s time to pay him back, Shoto! Inspire him like he did you!)

BAHAHAHAHA
omg
Bless my high school.
Bless them for keeping some scattered records of my time from primary and secondary school.
I just found an evaluation from kindergarten in which they evaluated my reading skills, both oral and silent. As far as I can (vaguely) remember, it was because I was juuuuust behind the cutoff to start that year and they were going to make me wait until the following year to start. But I could already read and my mom was like, nah, she needs to start now. So they tested my reading skills and comprehension.
At almost six years old, I was reading with no errors at a fifth grade level. I made one error in each sixth and seventh grade levels. I got up to the eight grade level before I made two mistakes and they stopped there.
Halfway into the school year they did another evaluation for placement into whatever gifted and talented was at the time. I was dying laughing reading through those notes, y'all. They did an interview portion and some of my answers were just... I took the questions so literally.
"Do you write at school?"
Yes.
"What kind of writing do you do?"
Handwriting.
🤦‍♀️
Yeah, they were looking for... well, not that answer. I imagine myself answering with the tone of "Duh, dumbass. HANDwriting?" Like, what other kind is there? 😅 (Honestly idk what answer they were actually looking for. A six year old isn't writing novels in class, they're learning the alphabet...? But evidently my answer was not expected.)
Oh god the best part though?
"What's your favorite part of school that isn't lunch or recess?"
Math.
Of course. OF COURSE.
Just so you know, they were clearly looking for something like... social or creative. The follow up question was about the kind of books I like to read.
Science books.
Uh huh. Yeah, they were expecting something a little less academic. Princesses, dragons, the hungry caterpillar, idk.
I scored very high academically on that evaluation but was below average in creativity. Shocker.
Y'all, how did no one look at me at age 6, hyperlexia on full display, information-focused as hell, and think, yeah, this kid is perfectly normal, no need to keep an eye on anything there?
Or throughout my primary and secondary education, where I made excellent grades and scored in the 99th percentile on every goddamn evaluation of standardized test I took, but struggled to pay attention, couldn't remember to turn in my work (if I even remembered to do it in the first place), and had one, maybe two friends, and was bullied by most others for being weird? Such high potential, so smart, but struggled terribly in school and with social interactions. But hey, a pleasure to have in class.
I kind of want to be mad but I can't stop laughing. If I ever decide to seek formal diagnosis of autism you'd better believe I'm including this shit. 😂

Tumblr media
so ur university had officially announced they were shutting down all in-person classes for the rest of the semester
and this meant u were stuck in ur apartment, continuing ur classes online
and tbh online lectures were just not ideal
like nothing was stopping u from skipping today’s zoom lecture and just watching the recorded version later even tho u definitely wont watch it
and so u were going to do just that
u figured u deserved some time to rest anyways
i mean u were very exhausted from staying up last night trying to complete ur essay on time
and so u decided to get some food delivered to the apartment
and u were fully prepared to just crash on the couch and do some snacking & anime binging
but as soon as u sat down and made urself comfy there was this horrendously loud *banging* noise coming from out in the hall
and ur like >:((( how dare someone interrupt u trying to peacefully ignore all of ur academic responsibilities
so u get up to go get a look thru the peephole, fully ready to yell at whoever was being so loud
and ur met with the sight of several boxes splayed across the floor in front of the unit across from u
and picking up one of those boxes is the most fine and delectable gentleman u had ever seen
like this guy was tall, had icy silver hair, and his skin was literally *glowing*
and ur brain is just like *ERROR 404* bc that unit has been vacant for a while now
which means this full course meal was about to be ur new neighbor omgomgomg
u thought about sticking ur head out and saying hi but then u remembered that a) ur not wearing pants and b) You Are Not Wearing Pants
and so u just flop back onto the couch, only getting up to grab the bag of food u got delivered (but w pants on lol)
and after u had finished eating u decided to go take out the trash
so u put on ur mask bc #wearadamnmask and headed out to the trash bin
and u just FREEZE bc what the hecK why is that guy there too 
ur about to turn around and book it back to ur place bc u were looking far from presentable 
but he sees u before u get the chance
and he just smiles real big in ur direction and waves excitedly at u like some giant puppy aw
and he’s like “hi !! do u live here?? i just moved into suite 306 :D”
and ur just like “oH i ThiNk uR my nEighBor aHa” as if u werent literally staring at him thru ur peephole earlier today fdsfjkd
he introduces himself as Lucas and explains that he had just transferred to the university nearby and was going to be a student there next semester
which ur like “thats where i go too!” and hes just like “:D !!!”
and u two start having some small talk and he’s asking u about ur classes and what the apartments here are like
and u tell him that uve enjoyed living here so far but ur air conditioning unit broke and wont turn off so its always super cold in ur room ;(
and then u two start talking about ur interests and u find out that u both have the same music taste and like the same shows !! and overall yall just vibe rly well :’)) 
and yea hes cute but u realize that he’s also got such a wonderful personality
like he looks super intimidating and tall but he’s actually really softhearted and just a lil bit clumsy 
hes just got this puppy-like aura about him 🥺
eventually u both decide its probably time to go back but before u shut ur door Lucas is like “I hope that I’ll be able to see u again :))”
and ur just like “YES PLEASE me too :D !!”
u sleep rly well that night because wow u finally had some human interaction after weeks of isolation 
and Lucas seems like such a great person to be around like his positive energy is so contagious and talking to him made u feel so much better despite the current stressful situation
the next morning u start ur day by gathering up ur clothes to go do ur laundry in the machines downstairs
but when u step outside u see a paper bag sat in front of ur door with a sticky note taped to it
so u pick it up and take a closer look at the note
and it’s got ur name written on it along with a message that says “hey its Lucas! i remember u saying ur room was always cold sooo i thought this might help! dont worry about having to return it,,but do give me a call sometime okay?:))”
and at the bottom of the note is his phone number ahhhhh
and then u peek inside the bag and its deadass one of his freaking hoodies
ur honestly a bit overwhelmed like how is he so hot AND respectful fdhsjfk
u immediately put it on and it goes all the way down to ur knees (bc goddamn this dude is tall) and then make ur way to the laundry room
ur about to go inside but then u see Lucas about to head out with a basket in his hands
and he glances in ur direction and notices that u had put on his hoodie 
and ur standing there blushing like CRazy bc omg thats so embarrassinggg 😔
but he just smiles at u and lets out the most adorable lil giggle as he makes his way back out into the hall
and ur like wow maybe quarantine won’t be so bad after all :’))

The Name of All Things Book Review
Tumblr media
The Name of All Things Book Review by Jenn lyons 
I swear to God that I feel like I have been reading this book for my entire life. I can’t remember a time I wasn’t reading Jenn Lyons’ next installment in the A Chorus of Dragons Series. 
And while I found the first installment, The Ruin of Kings, filled with jargon, confusing for a large portion, and sometimes over inundated with the many god-kings, characters, and places, I also found it action-packed, whimsical, and truly original with her use of POV and world building. 
This unfortunately all goes to shit in the sequel. 
I was excited enough about The Ruin of Kings to immediately pick up the sequel and read it with starry eyes and enthusiastic gusto. However, it was quickly established that this novel was not like the others for one dominant reason: the main character. 
Now, I won’t get into the nitty gritty about why I enjoyed Khirin D’Mon as a main character in the last book, as you could simply read my review about it here, but to summarize, I found him witty, charming, engaging, and driven. Perhaps naively, although I truly feel like I was duped, Khirin is hardly in the second installment at all (even if the jacket cover makes you believe otherwise). 
Instead, the main character of book two is a girl named Janel Danorak who has suffered at the hands of the demon Xaltorath (just like Khirin) and has manifested superhuman-strength as a result. It chronicles her life up to the current present where she is currently sitting in a tavern with Khirin three days after the conclusion of last book and is essentially telling Khirin every single fucking thing that has happened to her in her lifetime to bring her to the current moment. 
It is beyond maddening. 
If Lyons thought she was creatively manipulating the narrative by doing a paltry back-and-forth maneuver in which Janel and Brother Qown are re-telling their own stories to “bring Khirin up to speed” it failed. I didn’t find it clever, charming, or engaging. Instead I was irritated, bored, and indifferent. 
Instead of getting more action, progressing the plot, establishing more of the world, building relationships that have already been established, and you know, advancing Khirin’s character and motives, a character we have entirely seen the world through up to his point, we instead get what comes across to me as the longest, most boring “filler” in the history of books I have ever read. 
This whole almost-600-page book felt like a, “Oops. I wanted to include all this information earlier cause it’s important. Yeah. Important. I’ll just spend a whole book talking about shit that doesn’t matter and that already happened so that I can tell everyone how important Janel is. Perfect.”
I don’t remember the last time I was so frustrated finishing a book. This book did nothing, and I mean nothing, to progress anything that happened in book one except for maybe the last forty pages, and that’s being generous. Instead, it was essentially Lyons’ way of word vomiting exposition onto her audience without actually telling an engaging story or continuing book one in any fashion. Make no mistake, ladies and gentleman, this is the Janel Danorak show and nothing else. 
Maybe I wouldn’t have hated it so much if I actually found Janel to be an engaging character like Khirin, or even like Thurvishar, Tyentso, or Teraeth, but nope. Hell, I would have taken Senera or Brother Qown over Janel any day, as they were much more interesting side characters than Janel could ever hope to be. 
To me, Janel came across as the most generic crybaby who whined like a little bitch and pretended to be strong for the entire book when she was really just unintelligent, uninspired, and lacking in every way. Lyons tries very, very hard to tell you that Janel is amazing. She’s so cool, so strong, so authoritative, so different, omg. But no. 
Unlike book one, where we learn Khirin’s characteristics through trial and error and are able to deduce them for ourselves, Lyons switches methods completely in this book and just tells us over and over again that Janel is super awesome hoping that it will stick. 
It doesn’t. 
And on top of that, why do Khirin and her get together at the end? Why does Khirin give one inch of a damn about her?? He has no reason to. He’s known her for three goddamn days as that is the duration of THIS WHOLE BOOK. It’s completely out-of-character for Khirin and frustratingly nonsensical. It simply serves as another example of how Lyons is spoon-feeding us how cool Janel is when all it really does is make me never want to pick up the book again.
I can’t even really say anything about the plot. Which, it being 600 pages is pretty pathetic. Bottom line: Janel needs to kill a dragon. She needs a special spear to do it. She spends a vastly inordinate amount of time getting this spear and dicking around and then goes to kill the dragon. Oh, and Senera and Relos Var are killing people like normal and Relos Var betrays everyone again. 
That’s about it. That’s the whole book. 
Hopefully now you can see why I’m so vexed. There was no reason Lyons needed to take this much time and this length to tell Janel’s story. Quite honestly, a chapter or two would have sufficed for her background and then her and Khirin could have set off for their adventure. That’s it. That’s what should have happened. 
But it didn’t. It didn’t at all. And this poorly paced, poorly written, horribly executed sequel was the epitome of a disappointment. 
Recommendation: I don’t even know. Read The Ruin of Kings and pretend it’s a stand-alone novel. When the third book comes out, check Google Pages to make sure the whole thing isn’t a flashback of Janel Danorak and I might be interested. Huge emphasis on the might. This is why I stick to YA, people. 
Score: 3/10

my lash routine!
for stick-straight, asian lashes 💁🏻‍♀️
so this is a little out of character for me, perhaps, but i’m doing this because @bendthekneetobangtan recently asked me how i get my eyelashes to hold a curl and i was like??? wait a sec you’re not the first person to ask me that??? maybe i should talk about this since i’m apparently doing something right??? so let’s do it!
(putting the rest under the cut just in case none of you actually give a flying fuck, lmao 🤣)
the most important thing for me is to go in with an eyelash curler twice. once before mascara, and once after. you do have to be really careful the second time and make sure the mascara’s dried down and that it’s not getting clumped up when you squeeze the curler, but it truly does make my lashes so much more lifted and helps maintain it throughout the day. it also helps to have a warm eyelash curler, so i like to shove mine in my bra (along with my mascara) while i’m doing the rest of my makeup 🤣
waterproof mascara also really helps maintain a curl! if you don’t like waterproof mascaras because they’re a major pain in the ass to remove at the end of the day, then i would recommend doing a first layer with a non-waterproof mascara, waiting until it’s almost dry, and then going over it with the waterproof one. that base layer of regular mascara really seems to help with removal!
now let’s be real: there are just certain mascaras that perform better for me than others. i’ve gone through a lot of trial and error, and i’m constantly buying new mascaras because i’m a little bit of a mascara (and lipstick 💄) hoarder. i love going through the sephora value sets for each year’s lashstash and other mascara bundles, and i actually recently just purchased this year’s lashstash for $48. checking sephora’s site now, it’s on sale for $34 which is so dang affordable, omg. like, you get two full-size mascaras, 8 little ones, and a pair of falsies (which i never use, lol) and it’s honestly just such a steal. i swear, each lashstash lasts me over a year and it’s a fantastic way to try new products. 
a few of my current mascara favorites, in no particular order:
too faced better than sex (waterproof) - i know this doesn’t have great reviews on sephora’s website but i honestly don’t know why? the regular version is good too, but it always smudges on me. the waterproof one doesn’t, and it’s so easy to throw on one layer and be out the door with no additional hassle. 🤷🏻‍♀️
lancome definicils - again, another formula that doesn’t smudge. the curl isn’t as great since i do think the shape of the brush kind of pulls all the curl out of my lashes, but a second time with the curler fixes that. plus it makes my lashes super long and defined, which i love.
tarte lights, camera, lashes! - this is a new one for me, but i wore it all yesterday, through an entire morning spent roasting a goddamn turkey and working in a very hot kitchen making mashed potatoes and stuffing and all your other thanksgiving classics, and this shit did. not. budge. it was on for well over 12 hours and at the end of the night there was only the tiniest amount under my eyes? it was insane. i’ll have to keep trying it but so far, so good. (fun fact: i haven’t tried it yet, but i also have the waterproof one which is called ‘lights, camera, splashes!’ which i thought was hilarious 😂)
clinique high impact - this is one i got from a sephora lashstash like a year ago (don’t @ me about throwing out old makeup, okay? 🤣) and i still really like it! it doesn’t smudge on me and gives me a very natural, everyday look. and while i usually curl my lashes a second time with this mascara, i don’t feel like i have to. it would be okay either way. 
l’oreal voluminous - ah, the og mascara. this was one of the first mascaras i ever owned and i still really love it to this day. i love how affordable it is and how easy it is to use, and while i haven’t tried the waterproof version yet (it’s sitting under my sink lol) i’m sure i’ll love it just as much as the original. weirdly enough though, i don’t actually love the lash paradise version that’s supposed to be a dupe for the better than sex mascara? the brush is clunkier and a little too big for me, even though the formula was just fine. idk!!! 🤷🏻‍♀️
that’s all i can think of off the top of my head! most of these are high-end i’m so sorry 🙈 but almost all of the expensive ones are minis that i got in a set! say what you want about sephora but that have great sales and value sets, and the fact that there are always promo codes is 👌 *chef’s kiss*)
so yeah! waterproof mascara, shoving your lash curler in your bra, and curling your lashes a second time after mascara! that’s really it for me, folks! 😘

Consider: Mina is a genuinely happy and positive person, but everyone has bad days (especially people who have been thru trauma, like seeing your loved ones regularly beaten to a bloody pulp). The thing is that Mina just. Refuses to show that trauma has actually been effecting her. She starts suppressing negative reactions to situations bc she wants to "stay strong." Beginning of the year? She cried when they got rescued from USJ. End of the year? "Lmao guess we survived another one! Ha! Ha! :)"
oh my god like millennial humor?? if yeah then lmao mina please
if not ahhh Mina baby you have feelings too that you gotta tend to!\
Alright- All (or at least all the angst headcanons I received) are answered below the cut! Please be careful, there are some, well angsty things in there!
TW: Eating Disorder, Gore/ Graphic Depictions, Homophobia, Depression, Suicidal Tendencies/ Self harm mention, Death, Possible spoilers to those not caught up with the BNHA manga- Please ask to tag if I missed any!
(looking at all these warnings made me realize omfg YALL DID NOT HOLD BACK IM CRYING ASK AND THOU SHALT RECEIVETH I SUPPOSE)
a-single-eyelash asked:
Denki accidentally hurt someone as a kid, say a sibling or good friend, with his quirk. It made him hate his work, until he saw a hero with a similar work to his. This is what made him think that not only is his quirk cool, but also that he can become a hero. Well until, he hurt Sero. His boyfriend, got electrocuted by him on the battlefield. (Sorry this is an idea I’ve had for a fic)
O H
BRUH THAT HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN COMING OUT FROM BEHIND THE BUSHES I THOUHGT THERE WAS GONNA BE A HAPPY ENDING THIS IS STILL GOOD THO 
anonymous asked:
Bakugou is still sad, Sero is suicidal (Read to may fics about it man), Kami is legitimately afraid he’ll disappoint his parents, Tsu feels to normal, Kiri feeeeeelsss way to useless, and idk maybe Aoyama feels ignored. My own angsty headcanons.
Ah, yeah I can see how those can play into those characters!
anonymous asked:
Sero’s fight or flight response with a villains ice-like quirk (if your for that headcanon) OR Sero overwhelming his quirk trying to rescue a goddamn building of people
OH YA I AM FOR THAT
Also NO STOP HAVE I GOT SOMETHING IN STORE ABOUT COLLAPSING BUILIDINGS
anonymous asked:
Ashido + Bakugou bond over their quirks being destructive and not really knowing how to use them to actually *help* people
oh wow, I’ve never actually seen it that way.
But how about this: while they vent to each other about how their quirks can’t help people, the other is like, full on giving them descriptions of how their quirks actually CAN but they just never realized and they’re opening each other’s eyes while having their own insecurities knocked down
anonymous asked:
Omg your angst au is so angsty it’s beautiful
AH thank you haha!
anonymous asked:
Angsty headcannon boi-  Sero was bullied in middle school for having wonky teeth and actually had braces. Which is why he has such a pearly white smile now.  Sero was the last in his class to get his quirk and when he did he was laughed at because it was a ‘useless quirk’
n O ANON IM SOB
IM CRYING LEAVE HIM ALONE ILL SQUARE UP WITH THOSE BULLIES
anonymous asked:
Angst head cannon.  Sero flinches whenever kirishima hardens.  Sero’s parents are majorly homophobic and are actually quite strict. So whenever sero isn’t with bakusquad he tries to revise but it doesn’t work and he’s scared to ask for help.
Aw, man that’s heart wrenching to have parents so unsupportive- I feel it :( He’s just in a constant worry state whenever they’re around
anonymous asked:
If you’re still accepting the angst hcs… i think kaminari gets like really overcharged whenever there’s a storm and since they moved to the dorms there’s nowhere for him to release all the excess energy. So he just kinda hides away in his room in pain.
Aw, that’s terrible!
I dunno.. I feel like that one day when someone finds out during a storm, they’ll like, ask the teachers about “where someone could discharge a lot of energy askingforafriend” and they immediately know who they’re talking about and they’ll ask Powerloader and Mei and others in their department to build something for him to discharge all the excess AND be able to utilize it somehow :0 just a thought!
anonymous asked:
My headcannons: Sero is anorexic Bakugou has PTSD Kaminari has depression Kirishima had self-esteem issues Ashido is perfect (canon)
Oh that last part- she is, she is *clap**clap*
Though.. I will say that just because the others are haunted by those- it doesn’t make them less perfect. It’s their struggles that they learn to cope with and grow from, and it makes them, well, them. Not a definition of perfect can define that :’)
(sorry just speaking from my thoughts cause these hit close to home ahhh)
anonymous asked:
Lmao i sent a lot sorry if their not the best but hopefully some heart strings will be pulled
NONSENSE ANON ALL MY HEART STRINGS WERE PLUCKED BY ALL THESE AND NOW ITS YALLS TURN
transcandydemon asked:
Todocanon; todoroki has constant nightmares of the boiling water incident and of his father hurting him or his mom which causes him to not get as much sleep ie his calm attitude and how he’s not quick to get into conversations because of exhaustion
oh ya, such a traumatic past is def something that could still be haunting him in his dreams :’( but when the others notice, they’ll make sure to check up on him and try to find ways to help reduce nightmares or at least comfort him whenever they’re in his dreams
anonymous asked:
Deku head canon : deku is super jealous of kirishimas and bakugoa relationship since hes been trying to get close to kacchan for years and kirishima managed to do it within days
D’: He probably would feel that- jealousy’s very strong! But ah, in my personal opinion, i think he’d feel that, but after time learns that maybe it was best that he stopped dwelling on it and moves on, and learns to accept and be happy that he and Bakugou could at least be acquaintances that could eventually work well :’)
anonymous asked:
Denki headcanon: where he wants to be as close to bakugo as kirishima is and he tries so damn hard but takes bakugos insults to heart and he really does get torn up and upset about it(ex: the sports festival scene )
Oh wait which scene? Dunce face or?? :0 but yeah, I feel like he’d take it to heart at times. (but my bakukami heart tells me to say that when Baku realizes he gives him a good ass pep talk and beings hold back on his insults, or reassures Denki)
anonymous asked:
Bakugou could have PTSD and nightmares
Oh same headcanon! :’D Ah, but poor Bakugou. I’m sure the others would take it into mind and be aware of it and help him subtly so as to not provoke him, :’(
violetsare-tblue asked:
Bakugo: because of his inferiority complex, feels like he needs to prove himself over and over or he’ll be just the victim again  Iida: his left arm is completely numb. He isn’t paralyzed and he can move it. He just can’t feel anything in his hand or arm. Makes holding hands with someone feel empty and useless  Sero: he is so scared of being worthless as a hero and a person. He doesn’t want to be left behind by his classmates so he overworks himself and comes to school with random bruises
Oh mmhmm, I definitely see the Bakugou one! Especially after what he said during his fight with Deku, it def shows :(
Aw, Iida probably still looks back at his actions back in the Stain arc and regrets the errors of his ways. Luckily, I’m sure he’ll find someone who helps him through it and reminds him that mistakes don’t define him :’)
:’( Serooo MAKING ME CRY
casua-aria asked:
I have this Sero headcanon where he was the disposable (like how when tape dispensers run out and become disposable) friend in groups throughout his childhood, but now that he goes to UA, he has true caring friends that would never do that to him.
D: !!
That’s so sad- he must have thought his quirk was just life taunting him for being “disposable” hence the tape quirk :( but heck yeah, once he meets the students of UA he definitely begins to see that he wasn’t the problem in the past, but rather those that he was “friends” with!
anonymous asked:
Sero remembering very clearly all the pain that happened when his arm got cut off, maybe being a little scared of Kirishima for a few days after he first wakes up? Idk
OH YEAH THAT ONE HURTS
Like maybe.. once he’s able to respond again, he flinches and has an anxiety attack when he sees Kirishima because the sight of him just sends a flood of the memory to play in his head OOF
anonymous asked:
A personal favorite that nobody’s really thought of: a villain cuts off one finger from each of Ochako’s hands so she can’t use her quirk
OH MAN THATS BRUTAL OMG
That’s so dark!! I feel like a villain would do that should they get a hold of her and, mm maybe wanna rile up someone close to her to lure them in
meptoonzart asked:
Kirishima traitor
b R U H ID CRY MY EYES OUT IF HORI MADE HIM THE TRAITOR
                                                                                                                             Anonymous said:                                                                 
I have a lot of angsty headcanons about Kaminari specifically so I’ll just spam you with those. He attracts electricity, so he often gets struck by lightning and has almost died from it twice. Kaminari knows people think he’s the traitor and it eats him up inside every day. He’s been ‘propositioned’ by quite a few creeps because he’s pretty and his quirk is, well, what it is. He has nightmares a lot and it causes power outages, he’s terrified his classmates will hate him for it.(1/?(Idk2maybe)            
Sero got into a fight with someone after the sports festival, because how the hell did he make it into UA’S hero course, and Kaminari happens to be with him and he actively threatens the dude who started the fight with his quirk. No one bullies his friends. His overuse of his quirk is slowly killing him, he hasn’t told anyone that it’s destroying his brain. Bakugo reminds him of living in an abusive household but he doesn’t know how to say it so he laughs it off.(2/?(Okaymaybe4wearegettingthere)             
Kirishima and Sero are the first to find out about both the frying brain and the abusive household, and Sero asks Kaminari if he wants to go try something. Kaminari says sure and Sero reserves a training ground for them, and Sero swings around with Kaminari and he hopes it works for Kami the same way it does for him. Sero is smiling because he doesn’t know what else to do, but swinging through the air helps him feel better and free. It helps. But there’s always, always the anxiety (¾)  
the anxiety of ‘Maybe today is the day I fall’, but he doesn’t realize that Kaminari is helping him stay grounded. He won’t fall. Not when he gets to see Kaminari fuller of life than he’s ever been. They land on one of the buildings in ground Beta, and laugh like idiots as it starts to rain. Kaminari’s dying, Sero is a mess, and they just sit there for hours, past the end of their reservation, talking through their anxieties. Kaminari is scared to die. Sero is scared to lose him. (Okay1more4/5)        
Sero promises Kaminari he’ll be there, he’ll do everything he can to help keep him alive as long as possible, and he asks Kaminari how long he has from his last estimate. Kaminari laughs, starting to cry. Six years. Sero tells the Bakusquad, and they promise him that they’ll be there when the time comes. Not villains or Dadzawa could stop them, and finally it does. For only being a hero for three years, he’s made history for kids who have terminal illnesses (ranoutofspacedammit)      
 And the drawbacks of quirks come more into light. Kaminari may not be a great student or hero, but he brought hope to a lot of people, and everyone will miss him. They can’t hear thunder crack without thinking of him, can’t see the golden sunrise without thinking of his smile. Can’t even bear to look at the classic lit section in a bookstore. He saved people and raised awareness, but he wrecked their hearts as well. (Somehow this turned into a near-fic I’m so sorry Hope you’re doing well(Done))       
ANON OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS BASICALLY FIC IM CRYING THERES SO MUCH I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START CRYING   
iamnootthedabmast-r said:                                                                     
Heard you want some angsty headcannons- so Kaminari tends to stay up due to his quirk and he likes to stay in the dormitory lobby, so he just sits on the couch on his phone or just sits there in the dark- but this leads to him finding some secretive angsty stuff about other people in the dormitory for ex; Bakugou comes downstairs and just starts cooking cause he has terrible night terrors and Kaminari just quietly witnesses as Bakugou cries silently while he eats. (Part 1)    
(Part 2) the next morning Kaminari kind of wants to try ask or comfort him but feels rude and awkward so he also kind of struggles with the knowledge of knowing that everyone in his class is a little to a lot of broken.  So yeah, sorry if it’s a little confusing- in awkward when it comes to writing what I want to write…
DUUDE THIS IS SUCH A SAD CONCEPT IF YOU WRITE IT I WILL LEGITERALLY PERISH ON SPOT
                                                                                                                             Anonymous said:                                                   
May we… suggest directly… angsty oneshots? Please feel free to ignore this if you preferred hcs
 (lmao sorry, im not caught up with the manga or anime to know what the first part is referrring to :’D) but ah yeah I’ve seen that headcanon, not too sure how to feel, but it’s out there!

omg ok
beginning is inspired by real life events
okay so it’s the end of the month so you don’t have a lot of money left
you already went out to watch a movie with your friends and now they want to take something to drink at the coffee shop
you’re like alright let’s hang out a bit more but i won’t get anything
the coffee shop is packed and when the barista asks
"the usual, sweetheart ?" when he sees you
you’re like "nope, i won’t take anything today honey"
you’ve been there so many time that seungcheol, one of the barista, knows your usual command
you also know that them using nicknames is an usual thing, it’s their theme and you play along
so your friends get their command and you somehow find a place to sit
some people are just hanging out while other are using the wifi
so you’re talking about the movie with your friends when suddenly seungcheol calls you and youre like
what’s happening
and then he gives you your usual cup of chocolate and you’re even more like
wHATS HAPPENING
and he tells you someone brought it for you
and you’re so confused because these things only happen in movies
you ask seungcheol if he didn’t make an error in the command and he’s 100% positive someone brought it for you and you ask him who so you can at least thank them but he just moves his shoulders and goes back to work
your friends are as confused and your friend double checks her bill in case she accidently payed for two cups but nope
you look around the coffee shop to see if anyone is looking at you or if you see any familiar faces but nothing
you drink the chocolate still extra confused and your friend are freaking out because that shits cute
so this happens and you think about it for like a few days because your mind gets busy with your exams
fast forward to a week later and you’re back at the coffee shop and thank god it’s not as packed
you sit on a chair with a small table and take your laptop out
you get a nice cup of chocolate to motivate yourself and start studying for hours
people enter and leave and you’re still there looking at you screen
sometime’ seungcheol comes up to you to check if you’re okay and all of that
after hours your neck hurts and you need to go to the bathroom
you think about it for like two minutes, you still have things to do so you have to go to the coffee shop’s bathroom
the places safe and seungcheol is keeping an eye on your stuff so you quickly go to the bathroom and when you come back
there’s a muffin on your table
you get confused once again and think
“can it be the same person ?”
you look around, you mostly see students working as well, their faces blocked by their laptop screen
you call seungcheol and once again he doesn’t know who brought it for you, another barista probably got the order
you look at the muffin again and it’s the chocolate one with the big pieces of chocolate on top and you can’t resiste and just snap a picture to your friends
you check from time to time if anyone is looking at you but still nothing as you leave
your friends keep asking you questions to try and find who’s the mysterious person buying you these things but the person’s too discret and you have zero (0) clue
the next day, you sit towads the back of the coffee shop, you think that maybe you’ll have a better angle to catch someone looking your way
but this time, you don’t even have to leave your chair that a barista comes up to you holding a white plate and leaves it on your table
it’s another muffin
he gives you a cheeky grin and for a moment you think it’s him but then you remember he has a boyfriend
you look at the muffin and there’s a note this time
the white piece of paper is small and the handwritting is so nice and the nice words make your heart skip a beat
“don’t overwork yourself, remember to eat you’ve deserved it”
you flip to paper trying to find something behind but there’s only some faint lines forming a grid
you look around at the students and
there
he
is
his supporting his head hiw his hand, the other moving accross the same grib paper
a faint laugh escapes your lips and you bite into the muffin before he looks up and you two lock eyes
and goddamn he’s super cute
locks of black hair on front of his eyes, he brings his cup to his lips and he winks
and you don’t know what you’re supposed to do ? go see him ?
but as seungcheol walks beside you once again you get an idea and call him at your table
“hey get this guy a chocolate, it’s on me.”, and as you say it you keep your eyes on the black haired guy, you notice his grey hoodie and black pants and he looks so cuddly
“so it’s mingyu ?”, asks seungcheol and that’s how you learn his name. an idea pops in your head and you rip a piece of paper and write a small note
“thank you mingyu, stay hydrated :)”
seungcheol gives him the chocolate and mingyu looks up, at first his lips are parted but it soon transforms into a smile and you melt
he keeps his eyes on you and gestures towards the chair in front of him and your heart starts beating as you gather your stuff along your muffin and sit in front of him
“hello”, he says and his voice sounds so good
“hi”, you answer “thanks for the chocolate and the muffins”, you say
he nods and leaves what he was doing aside, giving you his full attention and that’s how the conversation starts
you learn that he’s an architecture student, he babysits sometimes to get some money, he comes here often and became friends with a few barista
“does that mean you can draw me ?”, you ask as a joke but he plays along
“maybe one night after we get dinner or something like that”
and you’re like
“are you asking me on a date”
and he’s like
“yeah, after letting you eat the muffins all alone, eating something together would be great”
and that’s how you found yourself at his appartement
you helped him finish the preparations and you two talk about your childhoods as he plays music at a low volume
his laughs feel the room and it’s so relaxing and you feel so at ease with him sigh
you two eat together and eventually watch a movie and truth be told you didn’t really want to leave him
“next time i’ll cook.”
“are you inviting me ?”, he asks but he already knows the anwser
date number two is as amazing tbh
date three was you two spending way too much money at the fin fair
he got a candy apple and his lips looked so sweet you just had to kiss him and he gladly returned the kiss
that’s how you two got together
overall such a sweet boyfriend
gives you his sweaters
buys cakes for you because he doesn’t have the time to make them himself with college and all of that
dates where you two go to the museum and he sketches the architecture or a few paintings and it’s so mesmerizing to see him draw and he looks so concentrated
holds your hand as he walks through the museum and you two talk about the different painting and the message behind it
loves to hear your opinion on things
my art student self is showing sorry
nights where you two cook together and he hms to the music
always has a hand on your hip
likes to keep you close
the type to hidde his face in your neck and giggle and lightly kiss your neck
kinda jealous and possessive at first
loves when you wrap your arms around his torso ouff
you two went to the coffee together and seungcheol just smiled like a proud father
if you wan’t to know what he’s like in bed you get go right here !

Thanks!
Top 5 favourite characters: Max, Eleanor Guthrie, Anne Bonny, James Flint, and MadiOther characters you like: Miranda Barlow, John Silver, Thomas Hamilton, Idelle, and Mr. ScottLeast favourite characters: Charles Vane and Woodes Rogers. (Also all the obvious characters like Peter Ashe, Ned Lowe, and Thomas’ father…but it would take all day to name off all of them). Otps: Max/Anne, Max/Eleanor, Flint/Thomas, Silver/MadiNotps: Eleanor/Vane, Eleanor/WoodesFavourite friendships: Flint/Eleanor, Flint/Silver (I get the appeal of seeing it as romantic too but eh, it’s just not for me), Flint/Miranda, Thomas/Miranda, Flint/Madi, Eleanor/Madi, Max/Idelle, and Anne/Jack, even though I have some issues with it.Favourite family: I don’t think there were a lot of blood family dynamics on the show? Eleanor and her father was probably the most prominent one and he was an asshole, so lol. There is Madi/Mr. Scott, even though it didn’t get the attention it deserved. Favourite episodes: 1x06, 2x02, 2x07, 3x09, 4x08Favourite season/book/movie: Season 2Favourite quotes: Ahh that’s hard because there’s sooo many good speeches on this this show lol. But to name a few:
Flint’s “Dragons in the darkness” speech
Max’s “There is nothing important that does not include you” speech
Madi’s “A chorus of voices” speech
Eleanor’s “Too many goddamn men” speech
Anne’s “I can’t be your wife, Jack” speech
Best musical moment: Idk. I can’t really think of any specific musical moments?
Moment that made you fangirl/boy the hardest: The Maxanne snow scene in 4x08. Also the Flinthamilton reunion in the series finale. I cried.When it really disappointed you: When they didn’t have any Maxanne scenes in the finale. I would say Eleanor’s death but even though that obviously made me sad, I also knew she was going to die eventually from spoilers :(Saddest moment: Eleanor’s death :( And Miranda’s death. Especially with Flint’s reaction to it.Most well done character death: Vane. I know i’m probably biased because I hate him (lol) but I truly do think it was well done. With how tumultuous his relationship with Eleanor was, I think it was fitting that he died partly at her hands. Favourite guest star:Favourite cast member: I haven’t really read or seen anything about the cast members so idk. Jessica Parker Kennedy is beautiful though. Character you wish was still alive: Eleanor and Miranda :(One thing you hope really happens:Most shocking twist: Thomas being alive. (I’m still AMAZED that I wasn’t spoiled about that beforehand because omg). It was a very beautiful surprise though. When did you start watching/reading?: I think…about a month and a half ago? I binged watched pretty recently.Best animal/creature: IdkFavourite location: Nassau, I guess lolTrope you wish they would stop using: I can’t really think of a trope that they did repeatedly that I didn’t like. There’s obviously things that I didn’t like (Max’s r*pe story line in S1, for example. That was pretty hard for me to watch and if it wasn’t for the fact that I knew things eventually got better for Max, it might have made me quit watching). But nothing that was done over and over again like on GoT.One thing this show/book/film does better than others: LGBT REPRESENTATION. Also the writing for women. And general story telling tbh.Funniest moments: 
The scenes with Silver and Randall in S1. “You’re a thief” lol. 
Eleanor finding Silver handcuffed in her office. 
Also the classic: “So I really have to fight him?” “Well what the fuck did you think was going to happen?!” Lol
(Honestly a lot of Silver scenes made me laugh. He was pretty funny at times.)
Couple you would like to see: Eleanor with someone decent lol. Max was her only good love interest :/Actor/Actress you want to join the cast: Favourite outfit: Pretty much everything Max woreFavourite item: IdkDo you own anything related to this show/book/film?: Nope. I might buy the DVD’s someday thoughWhat house/team/group/friendship group/family/race etc would you be in?: I don’t really know. I doubt i’d be a pirate though lolMost boring plotline: Most of Vane’s story linesMost laughably bad moment: None. The threesome scene with Max, Anne, and Jack was eh…awkward though. Best flashback/flashfoward if any: The Flint, Thomas, and Miranda flashbacks in S2Most layered character: Pretty much all of the characters are really layered. Even the ones I don’t like. The writers didn’t fuck around with character building. I guess i’ll say Flint though, since he’s the main and the most time went into him.Most one dimensional character: Idk. The characters who got killed after only one or two lines.Scariest moment: Blackbeard’s death. That was brutal.Grossest moment: Can’t think of a specific oneBest looking male: In my lesbian opinion…maybe Flint, Silver, or Billy?Best looking female: MaxWho you’re crushing on (if any): Max. Eleanor, and Anne. (And the best part is, they’re all three canonically not straight. So i’d have a chance.)Favourite cast moment:Favourite transportation: Ships, I guess lolMost beautiful scene (scenery/shot wise): I can’t think of a specific one but any shots of the ocean, especially if there was a ship sailing.Unanswered question/continuity issue/plot error that bugs you: I don’t really like that the Maxanne relationship status was never solidly confirmed? I mean, i’m assuming they got back together because of the hand-holding scene, but I would have liked more confirmation :/Best promo: I binged it so idkAt what point did you fall in love with this show/book: S1 was alright but S2 was what showed me that it was going to become one of my faves.

Baby-sitting a Pretty Boy | Mark Tuan [GOT7]
Tumblr media
The last thing Nat expected to do for her boss was to babysit a "Pretty Boy" from an Idol Band....
Cast: Mark Tuan Nat (OC) GOT7
WARNING: I cannot be held responsible for any spelling mistakes or grammer errors in this story as apparently my furry friend have learned how to type 🤘😁🤘
Have a read...constructive criticism is appreciated.
Happy Reading!!!!

-------------------------------------
Chapter 1: New Assignment - Babysitting
If there's one thing I hate, it's people interupting my sleep on my off day...
I woke up to the shrilling sound of my ringtone. Half asleep, I managed to locate my phone while knocking down several items in the process. I tried to figure out the caller with my eyes still half closed & I really didn't like the name that was dancing on my screen.
It was Jerry, my boss at work & best buddy off work...
"You better have a goddamn good reason, or else you're dead to me dude!" I hissed into the phone.
"Nat! Sorry to call you this early, but Boss called asking for you," Jerry replied quickly.
I was stunned. "What! You mean Boss...Boss?!?"
"Yep!" Jerry simply stated.
"But I thought he was out of the country for another 2 weeks!" I replied surprised.
"Well... He's back alright. No time to explain now...Nat you need to get down to his house ASAP," Jerry said hurriedly.
"Say what now!?!" I screamed. You've got to be kidding me, I thought.
"Why do I need to go to that old fart's place?" I asked, now irritated.
"Well, I'm not sure...he just told me to send you there as soon as I get hold of you. By the way, he's not an "Old Fart" and you know it," he retorted.
"Yeah, yeah...but right now he is," I grumbled. I don't consider people who creeps on my me-time, Sweet.
"So you're cool, right?" he asked hesitantly.
"Do I have a choice?" I replied sarcastically.
"Chill, Nat, I'm sure it won't be so bad. Just go there quickly, and find out what he wants. I'm gonna ring him up and let him know you'll be there in an hour's time. And yeah, Nat..." I hear him sigh on the other end, "don't you dare go in your PJs," Jerry added, sounding serious.
I started to laugh, "Come on, hon! I'm not that bad..."
"Well, you did the last time I called you in on your day off. Just making sure that we don't get a repeat of THAT episode."
"Gotcha, Boss!" I replied still laughing. "OK...gotta hang up and get ready or else I won't make it on time," I said as I jump off the bed.
"Alright! Update me later. 'kay? And thanks, Nat." Jerry said, relieved.
"Just add couple of more zeros on my pay check, and we'll be good," I said cheekily and hung up.
I rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower...
Hi...forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nat. 27 years old, single & very much happy. FYI: Relationships are pain in the arse, rock is my music, I'm a rock-chick-kinda-fella. My best friend is a guy...yeah, I was just talking to him. Food fussers are a No-No in my book (Ha! think I just coined a new word...eh! You get what I'm saying, no? Moving on. -.-) Weird and crazy pretty much fits my bill. Yep...that's me. I'm a walking awesomeness...Bam!!
Oh yeah... and just to make it clear: That Old Fart I mentioned earlier, is actually a very sweet old fella. For some reason, Mr. and Mrs. Lee have always treated me like family. Said I reminded them of their feisty daughter who, sadly, passed away (RIP her soul). Hmmm... maybe that's the reason. Either way, I love this old couple. They always made me feel at home in this new city.
In case you're wondering, I only moved to this city about 2 years ago when Jerry asked me to join his company. It was a sudden plan, but I never regretted it. I love this city and the people here are pretty cool too. Although, I do miss home... but then again, I get to visit my folks often. So no big deal there, ya know? Having said that, gotta to rush.
I slipped on my favorite pair of jeans, my formidable boots, grabbed my jacket and keys before I ran passed the door. It was a 30 minute drive without traffic. I drove towards the highway, hoping I didn't get caught in traffic, but then again, I always did. Just my luck! It took me 40 minutes just to reach the place.
I got ushered in by one of the maids. She asked me to wait in the living room while she left to let Mr. Lee know of my arrival. I sat there yawning. Honestly, I still haven't snapped out of my sleep-like state. Even the cushions on the sofa made me want to lay down and just curl myself off to sleep. I look at it longingly and sighed.
"Nat, sweetheaaaart! Good morning!!!" Mr. Lee said as he came in with the brightest smile. It always amazes me how people can be so cheerful so early in the morning. Really! I'm always a sore bear until 10. Brushing aside the thought, I got up, put on my brightest (fake) smile & wished him a good morning, and gave him a hug.
"How have you been, dear?" Mr. Lee asked sitting down opposite to me.
"I've been good. How was your trip?" I asked.
"Trip was good, but we had to cut it short since my grandson, Mark, will be visiting. And that's also the reason why I called you as well."
"Huh?! What does your grandson have to do with me?" I asked confused.
"Well you see, Grandma and I won't be of much company. So, I wanted to request you to show him around, you know. It's his first visit, and I want him to have a good time. Plus, he's been studying abroad all his life and he is not very fluent in Korean. He's more comfortable with English. You're fluent in both. So, it will be easier for him with you around," Mr. Lee added.
"Soooo... basically, you want me to babysit him??" I cringed at the thought.
"Well, not exactly... I'm just asking you to keep him company. Show him around while he's here, take him out, and have fun. Do what you young kids do this days," Mr. Lee said amused.
As much as I hate the thought of babysitting some rich brat, I couldn't say NO to my boss who also happens to be my extended family, could I? "So, yeah... I'll do it," I said reluctantly.
Seeing my torn expression, Mr. Lee laughed. "Don't be so down, dear. I'm sure both of you will hit it off great. Mark is a nice kid."
He then, briefed me that I needed to go pick him from the airport at 7pm. He also suggested that I move in for the next 2 weeks while Mark was here which I calmly refused. Babysitting him during the day time was enough. I was not gonna sacrifice my precious nights as well. Psssst...I mentally snap.
"Alright then, it's all set. I will see you when you bring Mark home. By the way, did I tell you, my grandson is in some idol band?? GOT...TT...GOT7! Yeah, that's it. You should look them up. Apparently, they are quite popular. And he's also a good looking young man," Mr. Lee winked. I rolled my eyes which got him laughing.
"I'll have Jerry forward you my Mark's picture and number so you can easily recognize him when you go to pick him up," Mr. Lee added as he saw me to the door.
"Ok, well... I will see you later in the evening. Say hello to Mrs. Lee for me." I called on my way out.
"Sure, sure... she will be cooking up a feast, and waiting for you guys," he said as he waved. I smiled as I got in my car. Well, at least there's some perks to this job. I absolutely love Mrs. Lee cooking. Even the thought of it has me salivating.
On my way back I called Jerry...
"Hey Nat! So what's the news??" he asked all hyped up.
"Nothing exciting. I got a babysitting assignment. Can you believe that!?! Boss precious grandson is visiting, so he wants me to babysit him. Seriously, I can't believe I'm ending up babysitting some pretty boy!" I shouted frustratingly.
"Pretty boy??" Jerry asked confused.
"Well, apparently, this kid is in some idol band....GOT 8... 9 or something," I murmured without any interest.
"You mean GOT7!!!??" Jerry shouted excitingly.
"Hmmn... yeah, I think that's right, GOT7. You know them??"
"OMG! Nat... please tell me you know GOT7!!"
"Nope... Don't know, don't care!!. You know I'm not into pop stuff," I replied.
"Girl! You are such a lost cause... seriously! We need to have you caught up on GOT7's profile ASAP. I'm mailing you Mark's picture, and number in a bit. Please go through it, ok? Please, Nat," he begged.
"Ok, ok...geez it's not like I have an exam or something. I just have to chauffeur the pretty boy's arse to places he wants to visit, and I'm out."
"Gosh! Nat... you can't do just that," Jerry sounded taken aback.
"Why? Do I have to change his diaper, and feed him too?" I tease.
"Uff! Nat, you know what I mean. GOT7 is a big deal. You might have to fan-off fans while you take him out. You have no idea how this teen fans are. They are bat shit crazy. Just go through the email... Trust me, it's gonna help you with this job. I don't want you offending Boss's grandson with your sassy attitude. Although, I'm pretty much sure you will, one way or the other," Jerry said as a matter of fact.
I couldn't help, but laugh. "You know me, honey, if the kid gets smart with me, he's gonna get his share. Though I promise I will try my best not to let him get on my nerves, 'k? Happy?"
"Sounds fair..." he said reluctantly.
"Ok, then. Talk to you later. Sending you the email now. Pretty boy should drop a text when he takes off. Please be there on time at the airport, k? Bye now...."
I drove back home dreading my new assigned job...
Well, pretty boy... Let's see how we fair, aite!

My kindle used to autocorrect "mei" as MRI, in all caps just like that. And it still hasn't caught onto lanfan ("land fan" Thank you autocorrect that is exactly what I wanted to do. Talk about ground-based cooling devices. Honestly what would I do without you)[sorry for salt]
Oh my god Vi haha I'm so thankful that my Droid had a personal dictionary so I could add words without it autocorrecting. Also I dislike Samsung's autocorrect software. It's very subpar to my old phone. I've tweaked the settings to be what should be functionally the same as my old phone and I'm disappointed. It's not nearly as user friendly. Although maybe it just needs more time to learn my speech habits.The one that is really irking me is when I go to type liKE THIS if I capitalize mid-sentence it tries to capitalize the whole word. Like no. That is not what I want, phone. And its corrections at punctuation is poor as well. It also underlines anything it autocorrects and I get that it's so you can see and fix any errors it made but instead I just have a wall of underlined words haha. Also if it autocorrects and I go back and change it to what I wanted, it still tries to correct it back unless I hit a goddamn check mark to tell it that I mean what I wrote.And, if I wrote something one way once it will attempt to write it that way every time. For example, the first time I typed goddamn on this phone I did it in all caps, and now it tries to autocorrect it to all caps every time I type it. It's really...just not good.Also sorry for ranting omg I'm feeling real salty about this phone's autocorrect/predictive text software.

How Gabi Ruined Me: A SMA Review of Ch. 15
GUESS WHO’S BACK AND READY TO REVIEW THE EFF OUT OF THIS CHAPTER BECAUSE OMG THIS IS STRAIGHT GOLD.
It’s me, hi Gabi, you’re a blessing.
REPLY:
Hi Cassie, it’s me, you’re hysterical. Also, I’m going to start indenting my parts instead of y’alls parts because I’ve realized that’s way easier and I’m dumb.
Overall, I really like this “episode” style you’ve got going on. I know it’s problematic word-count-wise (it’s actually not a problem at all, I have no idea where you got that from, but if you say so). And your style is really unique, so it’s always a delight to see what you’ve created.
REPLY:
lmaoooo I’m glad you benefit from my misery. (No but real talk, this format’s new for me so I’m super happy it’s working for you, man.)
Steroline Sex
Nice. But also, unrelated to the actual sex, how you wrote it without being cringey or too graphic is a great feat. Like good job dude. And forget the sex again, but the intimacy was also nice. Like nice. Like, in the carnality of it, I find it interesting that in this moment, you read Stefan for who he is—the guy who looks for intimacy over physicality, the guy who craves the relational over the carnal. Like, nice, dude, A+ with extra credit. It’s hard to pull off, I think, but it so mirrors what the real world is like? Also your writing style, again, is some really great stuff. Like, maybe you should quit your day job?
REPLY:
LMAO idk why but every time you say nice I just imagine you doing this dude bro nod and the 👌  emoji and I love it. Tyler approves. But also, GIRL, writing smut was friggin’ uncharted adventure time for me so you don’t even know how happy this feedback makes me. I’ve been pulled right out of stories before because things suddenly take a really porny turn (and I start laughing because I’m an infant), so I really wanted to avoid that without skimping out too much on details. And gah, all of your notes on Stefan and his instinctive search for something deeper (even in the face of a sex contract and hot girl on his lap) are so perfect, and I’m happy as hell that’s what came across because that’s definitely what I was aiming for. And AW, girl, psh - right back at you re: writing style! Like I’m pretty sure this review is funnier and better written than the fic itself but whaaaaatever.
Beginning of the Bonkaimon (is this the right ship name???) Date
Kai’s apartment: lol, much like Damon, I was no expecting this Christmas wonderland (horror) either. But also, LOL at what Damon was expecting lol.
REPLY:
lololol I sat in Starbucks and stared blankly into space for like 20 minutes to come up with all the things someone might expect from Kai’s apartment, and I’m pretty sure I terrified at least three people because I’d just suddenly start villain cackling. Imagining a room full of nothing but shelves of blinking furbies made me laugh for like five minutes. 
Kai + Pinterest: not a big factor, but I find it hilarious that he was even on it??? Like could imagine, between gutting a swan, he’s casually scrolling through DIY Christmas décor?
REPLY:
‘between gutting a swan, he enjoys casually scrolling through DIY Christmas décor’ is totally on his online dating profile somewhere
The Bamon back-and-forth is too much. Like way too much, in the best way possible. They are literally children. Bonnie’s “villian origin story” quip is literally my fav. Damon’s “our thing” is sooooooooooooo like him what the heck, you pegged it; Damon saying “Like I know we have a thing and all, but—“ just made me laugh so hard.
REPLY:
Aren’t they the dumbest? So happy you enjoyed that part because it was fun as hell to write. If writing was just zippy dialogue I’d have finished this fic 200 years ago.
KAI’S FREAK OUT ABOUT THE COATS: dude you did a good job with that. Like a really good job. You can really see the distraught.
Kai’s “the stuffed mushrooms are fluffy and delicious… just like me” bit was very cute, like too cute for a psychopath.
The chit-chat: yes, it was a sneak peek, no, it didn’t affect the hilarity of it within the chapter at all.
Sniper love, I kind of love it. Like that Kai has a date at all? Like how did he even manage that? Omg and is his date just as crazy as him? Idk if you watch B99, but Holt and Kevin lol, that’s what I’m imagining.
REPLY:
HOLT AND KEVIN YEEEESSS. Love that. I think in this case, Kai’s pretending to be breezy and confident about his date in front of Bonnie and Damon, like ‘happens all the time just another Saturday in Kai-town’, but he actually has literally no idea what he’s doing and is a little panicky about it, lololol. He was probably just at work looking all cute and brilliant and some hotshot sniper made the mistake of thinking he was just a quirky nerd instead of a legitimate threat to the planet. I have a plan for Kai in terms of romantic entanglements down the road that I think’ll show just how painfully awkward he is in those situations, loooool. Should be fun for sure.  
Bonnie’s true self coming through, and Damon noticing? Damon noticing in general? My heart can’t handle it. You know bamon is my main ship, main otp, main everything? But like, this part is everything (and another part later). I like Bonnie’s true self tbh. Like yeah, she made some mistakes with it, but it’s also a little more interesting than the self she created.
REPLY:
Bonnie’s such a messy tangle of flaws and virtues, and I think her problem is that she’s spent so much of her life living in extremes. Like she’s either pure light or a total eclipse - she’s never actually let herself exist as a collage of light and shadow, or rather, doesn’t realize she even can. I think a lot of that has to do with the degree to which she indulged in her darkness during that teen rebel phase, like her anger and hurt were so all-consuming (and the people she surrounded herself with were so intent on stoking the flames of it) that she feels like she can’t let any part of that in without it taking over. She’s afraid of that darkness being all that she really is, and that’s why her mom left, that’s why her dad was a checked out alcoholic - they somehow saw that in her and it’s only a matter of time before everyone else does, too. I think where Damon comes to play is that he’s an instinctive observer of people, and he’s obviously taken an interest in Bonnie and making sense of her. So far, he’s picked up on the light (brave, empathetic, optimistic, kind, a fierce instinct to help) and he’s picked up on the dark (angry, self-sabotaging, competitive, a taste for danger) and at first glance, the two seem so wildly different that he’s like ‘which one’s real’. But I think what I’m really trying to build toward with Bonnie is that she’s not one or the other, she’s both. In harmony. And that ultimately, letting in her ‘dark side’ wouldn’t take anything away from her compassion and optimism and impassioned drive to make the world a better place - if anything, it’d just make her light side shine even brighter, you know? 
And likewise, Damon’s a character with a similar but inverted complex - he’s somehow grown up with the idea that he’s not a good guy and doesn’t care about anything, but he’s actually done some pretty heroic shit? Like, he turned in his own parents because of the things they were doing to people - parents who grown ass hardened criminals were terrified of. And he was ten. He went through foster home after foster home of neglect and abuse, all of which calcified his alleged numbness to the world, and yet couldn’t help himself from becoming a constant buffer between Tyler and his abusive dad. He was more in love with Katherine than she ever was with him and yet his awareness of that never stopped him from being there for her, even when he kind of hated her, because the weight of their shitty lives mattered more than the weight of his feelings. When he accidentally pushed Bonnie into a spiral, he dove in to deal with it, in large part because it was his fault, but also because he knew he was the best option for her, and he didn’t want to see Caroline and Stefan take that on. And there’s more hero-revealing things ahead for him in the story, which kind of begs the question, ‘why are you so convinced you’re this hedonist who doesn’t care when you actually do more good than a lot of people who do care?’ And Bonnie is absolutely starting to piece this all together, so it’s a similar dynamic on either side.  Anyway, that’s my dissertation on how to go into an entirely unsolicited rambling meta in response to wonderful and pertinent feedback. 
Kai’s “you two must have a crazy sex life”, I think it’s funny ‘cause he could have left it at that and gotten away with it, but continuing with details just killed those chances (and it also killed me).
REPLY:
looool right? Kai’s one of those characters that’s always right on the cusp of having a normal moment and then nope, never mind, hail mary throw to loony land right at the last second. 
Caroline’s Freakout
I love how chaotic you write Caroline’s internal struggle. Because, like she realizes, she’s being irrational, and that’s exactly how her thoughts come across. Excellent work with that. “Everything about him was a goddamn error,” superb line, dude. That’s how exactly how I pegged the sma Steroline relationship (and the sma Bamon one, but on the side of Bonnie being the error anomaly to Damon). Like, honestly, when Caroline’s like “he’d known what he was doing”, I’m like,” y’all were having sex? You must’ve looked like you were liking it???” Caroline frustrates me sometimes, but like, she’s frustrating herself (and Stefan), so that makes sense and also kudos.
And then she lashes out at Stefan, and Stefan’s like, “I know”. Yikes.com. And I like how she realizes the physicality of what they did isn’t much different from what she and other guys did. It’s just him that’s different. And oh man, I love how Stefan’s like, “I didn’t mean to hurt you”, and she’s like “dude wait stop you’re not supposed to apologize for this”.
So many emotions dude. Mainly ‘cause I can relate to avoidance thing (yikes), but also ‘cause you can tell she’s trying to figure herself out, trying to correct her behavior (kinda), but then she reverts. A+.
REPLY:
Gaaah, all of that makes me so happy because that’s exactly what I was going for. You’re frustrated with her, but you know you’re supposed to be frustrated with her ‘cause even she’s frustrated with herself, you know? I’ve always found that I’m really forgiving of flawed characters when they’re aware of their flaws (and when other people are allowed to get fed up with their shit), so going into that scene, that’s what I tried to keep in mind - she’s going to be irrational and defensive and I need to make sure everyone knows that I know that this isn’t cool. It isn’t intriguing or exciting. It’s frustrating and repetitive and I know it, Caroline knows it, and Stefan knows it, and because of that, it’ll be confronted, you know? And yeah, that ‘he knew what he was doing’ line was exactly for that reason - Caroline clearly played a role in what happened, like it takes two to tango gurl, so I hoped that would hammer in how unreliable her narration was in that second. That, and the fact that when he starts apologizing, like you said, she’s like ‘stop’ because obviously he really didn’t do anything that bad and she knows that. Super, super stoked that the scene played out for you the way it did, man. Best feedback ever. Eloquent af. A+ goes to you.
Bamon’s first trip to Wine Cellar
Touching + promixity + commentary = horny Bonnie + smug Damon + heaps of hilarity
REPLY:
They’re like X-rated toddlers.
“You’ve been in love?” conversation was really good. I mean it was short, but I loved it. Like, called out much?
REPLY:
I literally had no idea I was going to write that until it just showed up on the word doc, but it ended up being one of my fave exchanges, so I’m so happy you liked it, too!
And then the “earthworm” argument: LOL.
“Like your entire face is rebelling against it—you look like you’re about to have a stroke.” LOLOLOLOLOLOL. What’s even funnier is I imagine Damon coming back with a doctor comment lol.
REPLY:
‘Uh-oh, better give me a full physical.’
The kiss/attack. Kai’s probably right, their sex life is will probably be crazy.
REPLY:
Definitely won’t get bored.
Bonnie’s flashback. Gotta know more dude. Like, in theory, you wrote it out a bit, but more more more.
REPLY:
More ahead! I have an ask about it that I’m going to answer but more’s coming in the actual fic, too. I think. So excited you want to know more, though!
“Merriam Webster” lol
OKAY HERE’S THE OTHER LIFE-GIVING PART: “Are you worried about me?” and “She turned around to leave and he caught her wrist again./’Seriously. Anything at all.’” YOU’RE MURDERING ME GABI HOW DARE YOU (please keep it coming).
Jesus Crisco lololololololol
REPLY: 
:D
Soon-to-Be Ms. Cuddles
It’s kind of scary how much of myself I see in Caroline lol (that’s kind of fucked up right?) especially when her eyes are shut because the cat is near her omg.
REPLY:
lmaoooo a little scary but she turns out alright so *bonnie voice* there’s hope for you.
My heart at “none of it was worth it”. At first, I was like Caroline’s not worth it? But then he’s like Caroline’s fear/hurt isn’t worth it, and I’m like, Stefan you IDIOT STOP HURTING ME.
REPLY:
LMAO ISN’T HE THE WORST.
And then him realizing what the real issue is with “Like maybe that contract hadn’t just been for him”.
But then him fucking it up with “something stupidly, recklessly hopeful”. BOY BYE WITH THIS DISNEY PRINCE-NESS.

Disney Prince-tervention. 8 o’ clock. Scott McCall can come too.
“It means is there anything on the planet you don’t avoid dealing with?” YIKES STEFAN DO YOU LIKE PLAYING WITH YOUR LIFE LIKE THIS OR
REPLY:
LOLOLOL I laughed when I wrote that line. I was like eating Smart Pop and going ‘BOY’ as if I wasn’t the one writing it, it was all super sane.
Avoiding!Caroline #relatable dude.
“Easy to mistake for serial killers” LOL STEFAN AGAIN ARE YOU READY TO DIE OR
REPLY:
Danger Zone Stefan.
The part with the cat coming near her, lol, is so damsel-in-distress, and it makes me laugh so much at how cliched/tropey this is, but I also love it, and I tried to imagine her with either Bonnie or Damon in the same situation, and Bonnie being similar to Stefan but taking her out of her misery, but Damon being a shithead about it. Ah yes.
REPLY:
LMAO that scene is pure, unadulterated, damsel-ly TROPENESS and I love forcing Caroline I’m a Force to be Reckoned With and Need No One Forbes into those scenes because she tries so hard not to be that way and like, for what? Girl, be afraid of the dark. Run away from cats. Be jumpy and hide behind people. None of that means you can’t singlehandedly take down the Emory football administration, you know? You can run away from spider-rat hybrids in the same stilettos you slam into the toes of drunk dudes harassing girls on the subway. Do you. And LOOOL to Bonnie and Damon in Stefan’s place - Bonnie would definitely let it go but would be subtly trolly about it, like putting the cat on her bed when she’s in the shower or buying it a bunch of costumes to wear around the apartment. Damon would probs be every inch as insufferable as you’d imagine. 
The Not-All-Animals conversation. You don’t have to answer this, but is this supposed to be a foreshadowing, because the window was wide open for you (or Stefan) to state it clearly. And lol I cried when he says “there’s a cuddly little fur ball who seems really interested in getting to know you” and I’m imagining him talking about himself *dies of laughter*
“You’re going to love this cat”. Subtle, Stefan. Subtle.
REPLY:
CAN YOU IMAGINE HIM CALLING HIMSELF A CUDDLE LITTLE FUR BALL ON PURPOSE #BYE. I mean, it’s true, but still. I did the parallel on purpose, which I’m sure you know by now because I take forever to reply and have answered tat a few times, but I think it was more subconscious on Stefan’s part. Like his dedication to getting her to open up to the cat was definitely motivated by his own frustrations with her in that department, but I don’t think he saw the direct parallel or anything. Muahaha. I kind of want him to now though because CUDDLY LITTLE FUR BALL. That’s his street name. 
Bonkai/Damon’s return from the cellar
Kai flirting
Bonnie feeling bad for Kai for not having any friends. (can I just note that Kai doesn’t seem bothered that he doesn’t really have friends—or rather, he seems the type not to mind it. Like I’m sure there’ll be a part when Kai says something ‘jeez Bon, stop being so obsessed with me’ when she tries to be his friend)
AKA ME now feeling bad for Kai, just in general (or that might be the copious amounts of Bonkai fics I’ve been reading recently…)
Bonnie teaching Kai to “flirt” AKA just be a human being
REPLY:
lololol Kai’s just a dude doing his best impersonation of humaning and failing miserably and not being too bothered about it.
“Maybe a little less… carnivorous” lol
Damon calling Kai “bud” (like, him actually picking up on the fact Kai enjoyed that). Too sweet.
REPLY:
I didn’t get a chance to get too into it in 15, but if all goes according to plan, Kai x Damon should be a pretty unexpectedly adorable brotp, so I’m super happy you picked up on that!
Bamon kiss #3 : “his stare was dark, humming, glinting with a hint of self-satisfaction” hehehehehe
“but I feel like maybe I should’ve asked you instead. Cool move.” lmfao Kai is a cutie pie (I know what I said, I’m not taking it back).
“Honestly, he could go back to the murder cellar now” lolololol. You’ve got a lot of golden lines in this one.
Almost Bamon kiss #4: nice
“She exhaled slowly, trying to ignore the buried, messy part of her that was turned on by the idea, that buzzed from the risk of it all.” Same, Bon.
Bless Bonnie’s insane self-control.
REPLY:
Damon’s a smug little shit. There’s just no getting around it, tbh. And YAY for cutie pie Kai (it even rhymes! Destiny.) - definitely trying to hone in on the more delightful sides of him from canon. And lmao, Bonnie must be so tired.
 Caroline vs. the Cat
Obsessive Caroline is something familiar and safe to all. I like obsessive Caroline a lot lol.
Okay, unrelated, but can you expand a little bit on the Maroline situation again because, from what you’ve already explained (sorry if this is ruining the story, you obviously don’t have to explain if it is) Matt was sweet when it suited him, not sweet when he was angry or whatever. So, like, Stefan has none of these telltale features, like not even lowkey. I mean, he gets mad at her that one time, but it’s not malicious, you know? But it also triggered her to breakdown, but I read that as she’s already dealing with internal shit, so the internal is being external, and has very little to do with Stefan. So, I guess my question is, why is she not realizing Stefan is a Disney prince and he’ll always be one? Or is it just the overwhelming fear that’s clouding her judgement? I’m rambling.
REPLY:
GIRL, join the club. Rambling is a way of life. Re: Matt, I think a key thing I haven’t gotten to in the fic yet is that Matt started off as a bit of a Disney Prince, too. He was this humble, small-town star quarterback who was a little shy around girls and didn’t know what to do with all the attention on him, and when he met/got to know Caroline, he fell hard. Like haaaard. She was this confident, brash, outgoing ray of light that drew him in and made him laugh and added so much joy to his life, and he was just totally smitten. Built her things, wrote her crappy love letters that made her smile, etc., and for a year or so, they were this fairytale of a couple that everyone in town loved. And then Vicky got into drugs and his family situation went from not great to really bad - his mom was constantly off with some new guy, so a lot of the responsibility fell on him - and things just slowly started changing. He was angrier. Stressed out all the time, and he wasn’t someone who did well under pressure. He started checking out from school more and more because he didn’t see it as a priority. And in that context, larger-than-life Caroline with her sunny optimism and big ambitions went from endearing and inspiring to naive and a lowkey reminder of everything he didn’t have the luxury of being. Resentment started creeping in, and it’d come in the form of him being snide or putting her down, and it just kind of spiraled from there. Like you said, it wasn’t all the time, he could still be every inch as sweet and loving as he was when she first met him, but the bad moments started cropping up more and more often, and Caroline was just kind of frozen because they had years of magical history to indicate that this wasn’t the real him, and she just needed to wait it out and be supportive. And if she’d only done that to a certain degree, I think she would’ve been okay, but she stayed for way, way longer than she ever thought she would’ve. And she started coming up with insane ways to justify everything because their relationship meant so much to her. And all in all, that’s the real damage for her - the fact that she can’t trust herself to one: see people for they are when she has feelings for them, and two: know when to get out of something. Not when she’s in love. Any other context, sure, deuces, bye, but she doesn’t trust herself in love. So that’s why Stefan, without really showing any real Matt-like flaws, is scaring the hell out of her, if that makes any sense.
SPEAKING OF RAMBLING HI HELLO YES WHERE IS THE SUPPORT GROUP 
Caroline and the cat is really cute. We don’t see many soft moments of Caroline, except the baroline apology scene, so it’s cute to see her just calm down a little bit. Calm in the storm.
And her being like “You’re lucky Stefan’s here.” Oh, dude, that really got me. Like, before she goes into the physicality of him/them, I read that line as like, “he’ll take care of you, he’ll be good for you” and that struck me.
REPLY:
So happy you liked that softer side of Caroline! Definitely going to be seeing more of that now that she’s gotten most of the defensiveness out of her system (in large part because I’m just tired of writing it, lmaaaaaoooooo #authoroftheyear). And yeah, that’s exactly how she meant that line, which I think shows just how much her opinion has changed of him over these past few days. Progress!
“And it was terrifying, because for that brief glitter of a moment, for better or for worse, she’d been Caroline Forbes in all her complete, defenseless, messy glory”: nice.
REPLY:
👌
“And closed hearts, apparently”, awwwwwwww. You know my general feels about steroline, but this fic, man. Well played, Gabi, well played.
REPLY:
lmao you know mine too. thanks, boo. 
Bamon Snooping
Initial and overarching reaction: LOL
Damon saving Bonnie’s life: *heart eyes*
“I’m not talking to you”/”Why ‘cause I didn’t feel you up in the kitchen?” LOL Damon knooooooows, Damon’s got you cornered (you’d like that wouldn’t you, Bonnie) (but also, same)
REPLY:
#READ
Like this idiot really thinks she’s fooling anyone? She’d totally like that. Let’s make another support group.
The flamingo tarts LOL
AND AND AND “Stefan’s not even going to be able to look at yo—“ crying
Kai going to hunt swan. Again.
REPLY:
So rude, pulling the judgy Stefan card. And yeah, Kai’s really into casual evening strolls with crossbows. 
The snooping. Okay, so first, Bonnie’s reaction of “yeeeeeeeeee” and Damon’s reaction of “k let’s do it”. I love it so so so much. This is a moment I can see Matt Daddario being Damon (I started watching Shadowhunters, pardon me). But also the things they find??? Like, if this were a tv show (where’s the petition, my pen is ready), then this would be that one weird/sci-fi episode. Like a musical episode, but sci-fi-y.
Damon “how much you want to bet one of these opens a hidden passageway”/I’m a big nerd too Fell/Whitmore (who tf is this guy)
REPLY:
LMAO coming up with the things they find was another case of me staring dead-eyed into space for 20 minutes and cackling at random, so I’m glad it was entertaining. And yessss, I can totally see Matt pulling off that line. I see him as a slightly sleepier Damon, like his blithe charm goes from obnoxious to a little slyer and lowkey, and he has more of a playful laziness about him. It’s a really fun/unique fit, especially since some of the other actors I’ve imagined as Damon have more of a brash/sharp quality to them that would enhance the showman aspect instead of downplaying it.
Bamon talking about Damon’s job: real bonding about real things!
REPLY:
WOOT. More of that ahead :)
Steroline Avoiding
“He could navigate picky eaters like a pro”:  I love that you made him this way, and that you made her that way, and that their ways are like puzzle pieces.
REPLY:
Ahhh, I love that you put it that way. That’s their new tag line.
And also for this beaut: “the Human Grimace” lmfao.
“I feel annoyed”/”Why?”/”I don’t know.” – is that their tag line or?
REPLY:
JK that’s definitely their tag line. 
Steroline bonding in general, bless.
“I can’t do this”: yikes. At first, I thought this was going to be a repeat of every sexytimez moment these two had before the ultimate one
but I really like how you placed that bit about Elena in there. Nice. Like how he can’t handle not knowing, and that’s very Caroline of him, and he could just tell her this please that’d help everyone???? I’m not ranting.
REPLY:
IF EVERYONE COULD JUST TALK IN THIS GODFORSAKEN FIC IT WOULD’VE ENDED TEN CHAPTERS AGO AND MADE MY LIFE SO MUCH EASIER. lmao but I’m glad you liked the Elena nuance - I’m trying to build their experiences in bits and pieces so that when they finally talk about everything re: the exes, it’s not too much of an information dump. 
Damon’s Panic Attack
Jesus Christ, Gabi. Right in the heart, dude. Like chill out. His avoidance of the very inevitable killed me. And Bonnie not picking up on the signs. Omg and Damon’s “I’m fine”, parallel to Caroline’s, and the whole “I can do this, I can get through this, I’ve only had myself before, and I only need myself now”, but Bonnie’s there and she’s all “I got you, you can do this, we’ll get through this together” and she’s talking him through, but he’s doesn’t want to even talk and  she’s just trying to bring him out of him successfully, but ultimately fails and goes with the distracting that is an old Stefonnie story. BUT THEN, her fourth-grade poem reminded me of The Punisher’s “one batch, two batch, penny and dime” in Daredevil (you watched that right?) and I was like oh shoot, you right. What you were right about, not sure, but it worked, and Bonnie did a good job (but also YOU), and Damon’s “she was a ridiculous person./Tangled and dark and simple and light.” And my heart wept. “He let himself stay”. Oh my poor baby. You wrecked me, Gabi, you really did.
REPLY:
‘and I was like oh shoot, you right. What you were right about, not sure, but it worked’ - LMAOOOOOO, dead. Like 50% of my excitement for posting this review is just people reading it and realizing how hilarious you are and then going to check out B&B. (GO AND CHECK OUT B&B). For real though, gaaaaah, everything about this is making my friggin’ day because this is always the toughest stuff to write for me. I never know if I’m building it well or if the emotions are transitioning fluidly and it makes me want to break my laptop (jk it’s already broken JOKE’S ON ME), so I’M SO HAPPY I WRECKED YOU. All of your observations are perfect. I didn’t even think about The Punisher but shoot, YOU RIGHT, that’s such a great parallel. I’ve always found that angsty situations are super unpredictable in real life, like the things you expect to happen seldom do and it’s always the most random thing that ends up shifting the mood, so I tried to translate that into this scene. Like Bonnie’s pulling out all the stops, all the things she’s trained to do, but what ends up cutting through the air is a random ass poem from fourth grade. And it’s just thoughtful and spastic enough to grab his attention, especially once he realizes why she went for poetry, and suddenly, the situation’s quelling. So I’m super, super happy that it worked for you, and that the ‘tangler and dark and simple and light’ stood out. I think that’s one of the first instances of him starting to realize she’s not one or the other, she’s both at the same time, so yeah, this feedback is all wonderful and now you’re wrecking me so we’re even.
Steroline Confronting
Is Caroline… confronting the problem? Is Caroline… actually fixing this? Is Caroline… actually being a person? Nice, good job, I’m proud of you, girl. Slay.
REPLY:
LOOK AT HER GOOOOO.
I like how she gets how fucked up the whole thing is. Like, she knows she’s being irrational, and that he shouldn’t have to put up with this mess, and damn, I feel for her.
REPLY:
Yesssss, totally what I was going for. Like the person most done with her shit is herself, and she’s likely going to be way harder on herself about it than you or me or Stefan or anyone else, really. So happy that came across.  
“Would it make you feel better if I told you that wasn’t the first time that’s happened to me?”
“What did you do? Actually—don’t tell me now.”/“I’m not telling you ever.”
”Tell me when it doesn’t hit so close to home.”/”Or never.”
”It’s still too soon.”/”It’ll always be too soon.”
These are gems.
REPLY:
Gotta sneak some fluff into every scene you know how I roll.
Oh goodness, but Stefan wanting to know her as a person. Ughhhhhh.
And the ruse of “for the sake of Bonnie.” I’m calling bullshit.
“Who was he, Nicholas Sparks?” Lol, I mean, it worked out, though, dude.
REPLY:
Stefan’s a lost cause.
As always, my friend, you’ve done a phenomenal job. Your writing style is so unique and fabulous, and it just adds to the storyline itself, like, it’s own entity in this whole thing. Bless. So excited for the next chapter. Did I hear more sexytimez for the bamon babes? 
REPLY:
GIRL I COULD SAY THE SAME DAMN THING ABOUT YOURS. Like even in this review alone - hysterical and eloquent af. I know you probably know this, but no one ever thinks that of their own writing (or at least I don’t think they do lmao, if they do LEMME HAVE A HIT OF THAT CONFIDENCE BOO ‘cause I didn’t even know I had a style), so it’s legit amazing to hear that the style stands out to you, and know that I’m boomeranging that comment right back atcha. Next chapter is sloooowly chugging along, by which I mean I’m writing at a regular pace but I’m trying to cram a legitimately concerning/insane amount of scenes into it. Like 15. LMAO. RIP Gabi. But hopefully it won’t take me too long! Also, it’s the last of the intensely emotional chapters for a while (just a lot of big moments I need to get right), so even if this takes forever, the rest should be a little faster. I feel like I say this after every chapter and nothing changes, looooool. BUT ANYWAY, you’re a marvel, this review is everything, I’m feelsy, you’re hilarious, write a book, bye.
