TREY FORGOES THE USUAL SONG AND DANCE: a note left with a surprise treat, a quick stop before classes, all his usual MO for delivering a gift. He hates being the center of attention on a normal day, never mind the pomp and circumstance and—enthusiastic extra efforts Heartslabyul goes for.

For Cater, though, he can make an exception.

Not that Trey has ever ambushed anyone, or plans to make a habit of it, but he’s already haunting the kitchen for the greater part of the weekend, if nothing else is necessary to see to. Cater’s a late sleeper when left to his own devices, and he adapts, no need to barge in first thing but laying in wait.

“Well, well. Good morning! You’re a sight for sore eyes.” (Just because he sees no need to rouse him doesn’t mean he can’t comment. It's well past one in the afternoon.) “I almost offered to give your lunch away to the freshmen.”

Sitting on the counter, a repurposed glass pastry cover keeps lunch from cooling too much. Trey can’t say he’s a plating expert by any means, but he does his best, a mock-up of a dish from a restaurant they end up haunting on a rare night into town. Sweet and spicy pork over rice, with the most eye-catching feature being the decorations on top. Tri-colored letters that would typically be reserved for the topping of cakes spells his name, staked into the pork somewhat cheekily.

Next to it, a rather small wrapped gift. Nothing thrilling, but practical, and—well, expected. The electric toothbrush is molded with the frankly terrifying card suit mascots of Cater’s favorite skate brand. It might be a knockoff. Trey doesn’t particularly care, and for the laugh alone, he’s sure Cater won’t mind, either.

“Happy Birthday, Cater—ha, well, whatever’s left of it.”

YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE most of each and every birthday—and it’s easy to, living on a flashy campus with even flashier traditions. Cater loved birthdays even before entering the fray of NRU’s social scene. Now? They’re unparalleled.

So, like, he means to make the most of it. It’s an accident that he ends up scrolling through his video feed until noon.

—An honest accident! He really had great intentions of making it an early morning, and really soaking up all of the goods that come with being the day’s centrepiece. But, alas, the gods that rule benevolently (mostly) over his algorithms were good today, and yeah, NGL, maybe it was just a touch too difficult to pry himself out of bed even without blaming the algo-gods.

Point is, at least, he does get up eventually, and the hour makes the first-stop an obvious one. Destination, kitchen. Not quite a detour, but Cater does have grander ambitions than lingering in the dorm all day, and he’s already eaten up lots of it, and—

❝ Oh, sup, Trey ♪ ❞

(The greeting’s a bit blearily made with a yawn. Like, Cater’s awake and up-and-at-’em like the best of ‘em, but, you know, just now adjusting to the people in front of him, not on a screen thing that happens once you get up.)

More importantly, what follows! Cater looks to the counter that Trey’s so casually lingering around—which is super normal for him, YK, so nothing new there—but in lieu of baked goods… ❝ Oh. Em. Gee. ❞

Yeah, that looks soooo good. Cater’s phone is back in his hand so quick he thinks that he summons it, actually, rather than reaches for it. ❝ Trey, CUTEEE! ♡ You seriously stepped up the plating game— ❞ The little letters. LOL. ❝ Ugh, okay, this is so fun. Totally could start a new trend for birthday meals, this lowkey looks better than any cake—no offense, you know your cakes are gorge, but… ❞

Much, much better. To say nothing of the toothbrush sitting just beside. He’s literally never seen this before, and he has HAUNTED those new collection drops like no one else. It has to be some sort of weird, niche side hustle knock off. Who wants toothbrush merch, anyway? Seriously a strange move to collab with, like, Colgate, and one he’s super sure doesn’t even exist.

It's so weird. He’s gonna find a way to fit this into the grid too. Cater loves it.

❝ Literally outsold, as always, ❞ he insists, a cheesed smile tossed across to Trey. ❝ Thank youuu. I need to get a good pic for the B-Day photodump and I’m starving AND I'm actually right on time for lunch, TYSM, so don’t threaten to give it away— ❞

(It’s a good foot to start this solar return, even if he’s only stepping out into it halfway through the day. For all intents and purposes?

His timing's pretty good.)

Re I Can Fix Him ngl I'm actually curious to know how the Reddit homies over at R/WorshipTaylorSwift (does that subreddit still exist? Lol) are doing after that song lmfao "good boy, that's right, come close, I'll show you heaven if you'll be an angel all night" is right up their alley like that has to have felt like kryptonite to them

I agree with you re Labyrinth, that song sounds like her reminiscing about 2016 and how she was yknow contemplating suicide and then Joe showed up in her life and she was terrified when she realized she was falling for him but at the the same he turned the plane around and all that. I think aside from Question...? the Matty songs on Midnights were... the songs Matty said they worked together on for Midnights that were scrapped from the album🤷🏻‍♀️ I imagine that along with the Slut feature for 1989 tv and however many songs she'd made with Matty and the 1975 for what she thought was going to be ttpd, all of these songs are now in the deepest pits of hell and will never see the light of day but oof does my nosy ass wish they would lmao like if you think of it, as unhinged as this timeline is, there is a much more unhinged one were Matty managed to hold his shit together for a while longer and we would've gotten a Taylor x 1975 album with songs written by these two crazies as they're madly in love and fucking each other like imagine the promo cycle for that and the public reception 💀😂 I agree that the music would've been really good though.

I do genuinely want to know what was her plan like was she so dickmatized that she actually would've released a full Taylor x 1975 album or would it just have been a Taylor album with maybe one or two 1975 collabs? It's for the best that that didn't happen though cos it would've been much worse and much more embarrassing for Tay when her and Matty eventually fucked out (cos you know they for sure would've, these two are volatile and very crazy and Matty is an addict so they genuinely would never work in the longterm) but I still wonder what even was the plan there and how it would've turned out, and in that scenario would we have ever heard the scrapped Midnights collab?

I do think it's better for Taylor's overall wellbeing that it happened the way it did lol I think the stability and security that Travis gives her is really good for her and she does seem healthier now

she’s def better off with Travis but we’re worse off for never hearing the collabs ykwim?

#remember me

—he who remembers it all becomes intertwined with someone who couldn’t remember him at all

—inspired heavily by the webtoon “see you in my 19th life” | a fic for the genshintoon collab by @stellumi

THEMES. hurt with comfort, angst, may have a good ending

WORD COUNT. 3.4k words

WARNINGS. mentions of sensitive topics such as toxic families (not too much on this), death, and having amnesia. 

NOTES. i spent a really short time writing this and wow this might be one of my faves? i guess? there’s not much romance ngl but i did have an open ending on this one so i’ll leave that to you guys to interpret~

The strings of his past did not linger in his veins. But it did with his mind and his soul. 

In XIAO’s little world, he never really thought of anything but being a child—it was normal, he was a child. 

Until he wasn’t anymore. 

Memories came flooding in—ones he liked, ones he didn’t like, and ones that were filled with you. 

You. 

He needs to find you. 

Alatus, it was his name before. It wasn’t long before he came to know that Alatus—his previous life was only a year before he was born in his current one—in Xiao’s. 

He needs answers. He needs to find you. Fast. 

He was young, how can he save money and meet you? You were far away from him. 

But he needs to find you, and so he did. 

┌───────── ·  ·  ·  · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

Fate is nothing compared to hard work. Why should he wait for fate to bring you two together when he could work hard for it? 

“You called?” 

You raised your head, eyes swollen and brimmed with tears, now looking at the boy in front of you curiously—or questioningly. 

“W-what?” 

“I thought… I heard you call my name.” A lie. You didn’t. 

“I didn’t… I wasn’t calling for you,” you look away, palms now brushing off the tears on your cheeks before meeting his eyes again, “I’m sorry. You must have misunderstood.” 

He pursed his lips tightly, hands itching to reach out to your face and ask you what had happened, who made you cry; to tell you that he’s there for you. 

But he couldn’t, could he? 

“I see,” he says, and then he comes up with an idea, slipping his hand in his pocket and then handing you something of his, a handkerchief, “take this.” 

Reluctantly, you reached out for the piece of cloth, but he seemed harmless anyway. What could a boy like him do? 

“Thank you,” you say as you take his offer, using the handkerchief to wipe off the remaining tears that stained your face. With no tears left to cry, you faced the boy, “What’s your name?” you asked. 

He debated, but answered, “Xiao. Call me Xiao,” because, at this very moment, he knew that revealing that he was Alatus—the one who died in front of you, would be utterly terrifying for you. That day, you needed Xiao, and it also sparked the same question to him whether you’ll ever really need Alatus to show up in your life once again. 

“We’ll meet again soon,” he did not hesitate to say, “tomorrow. I’ll come back tomorrow if you’d like.” 

You smiled then, “Alright, I’ll wait for you then.” 

You must have thought that he was just some kind who did not have anything else to do, someone from your neighborhood that you met through circumstance. He wanted to keep it that way, to at least see you once in a while even if Xiao’s home was too far away and he needed to save money and take a bus each time he visits you. He was able to do this cycle one or two more times, but as if fate made him lose all hope, he suddenly couldn’t go and see you anymore. 

Because he went broke. 

After all, he was but a mere teenager at that time. The only things he had gotten money from the very little allowance that he has and also the favors that he kept on doing for his classmates in school—shameless, he was, anybody would think he came off as cold and rude but the moment he does these flavors and gets paid, well they don’t seem bothered and are complaining about it. It’s a win-win situation, and he thinks that it was a fair trade. 

Until his good-for-nothing brother decides to steal all his hard-earned money—oh how he could remember having the best brother back on his 18th life. And that’s when he knew that the moment he graduates, he needs to get out of the house as soon as possible. 

It has been so long since he had believed in fate—well, in all the years of his memories and past lives, he for one had grown numb from all other interactions and even feelings towards others.

This time, however, it felt different and unique, more interesting and exciting than such a measly feeling called affection. 

It was a first for him to deeply desire to reunite with someone from his past life, and it may have been because of his last words towards you. 

“Wait for me.” 

Now that he had thought about it, he didn’t even know why he grew so attached to you. 

Maybe that’s why he wants to see you again? 

“You called?” he felt his heart skip a beat when you had raised your head and met his eyes, “... boss?” 

“Oh, you must be the new manager, Mr…” 

“You may call me Xiao,” he interjects, “there’s no need to mention my surname.”

You purse your lips to him, seemingly contemplating, “well, I cannot simply do that,” you say, and even if you had rejected him, he couldn’t find himself getting irritated. 

“How about… Mr. Xiao, then?” you suddenly added, offering him a gentle smile that reminded him so much of the past, when a smaller version of you used to smile at him like that, “I suppose you might be uncomfortable with being called by your last name if you had insisted not to be referred to with it.” 

Well, it was partly true, but it wasn’t the entire truth either. 

“So, I called you here to inform you and your team that we’ll have a meeting regarding the new project that we have. I want the Marketing team to be there, and seeing as you’re the new Head of the team, I shall be expecting more from you.”

He wanted to stay, to delay the absence of you with him, but he did not. 

He did not know why he felt that way. Was it because of his memories? Of what he felt as Alatus and has now affected Xiao? 

Ah, he did not know, nor did he want to care about it now. It was not like him to overthink, more so as his lives continued to pass and go on like a wave, always flowing and flowing. His problems came as storms, but he knew that they would pass soon. 

Because he had been through them a thousand times, he can remember. 

┌───────── ·  ·  ·  · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

In his 18th life, he met you as ALATUS. 

He was rich—quite different from the man he is now, and he had a good life, too good to be true. 

Ah, yes, it was too good that fate must’ve decided it was enough happiness to be given to someone like him. 

He can never truly know if it was a gift or a curse to remember. Sometimes he wishes he couldn’t, quite rare was it for him to want to. Most of the time, he ignored it, choosing to go along the waves that fate decided to throw at him. 

When he met you, it was one of those rare times. 

Your voice, your smile, your care for him. No matter how much the little him pushed you away, you still treated him the same as others. Why was he even that stubborn before? If he didn’t grumble for a long time, he would’ve made more memories with you, maybe that way, the void in his soul was not the same as it was now. Maybe he didn’t need to seek you now in his 19th life. 

 “What’s on your mind?” 

He flinches when he heard your voice, now meeting your eyes in the present as a memory flashes on the back of his mind. 

You used to ask the same question back then. 

“You seem to want to say something, you know you can speak up.” 

He looks around and sees the familiar faces of his team, especially the sight and vibe of the meeting room. Right, you were all in a meeting, how could he even have a fleeting thought at this very moment?

“I agree with the suggestion earlier, however, I was thinking of a better way to advertise and market our products.” 

“Oh? Please tell.” 

“Shopping applications. We may have our own social media advertisement at the moment but with other shopping applications, it will be a good way to start before we can begin and create our online site.”

This was not new to him. Throughout his lives, he could remember being a royal, an artist, a corporate worker—very much like now. He may not like corporate jobs, but since you owned a business—one that was the reason why both of your families (his previous family) were connected. The reason why he met you in the first place. 

He wanted to groan, but he was still in a meeting and you are directly in front of him. 

But he can remember it. 

The reason why you two met… was because it was arranged. 

 “Do you want this… this marriage? Do you not feel chained at all?” he remembered his tiny voice, one filled with confusion, teeth chewing on his lip as he stared out to the vast landscape that can be seen from the balcony you both were at. 

“Well, I just thought that no matter what happens… t doesn’t seem wrong to want to have a friend. You do know that we’re both in the same boat here, right?” 

Your bravery to face the future… Yes, that might be it. That might be why he wanted to see more of you, more of what you could do. 

Because that certainly is not his forte. 

No matter how he knew he’ll remember his next life, he didn’t know if this was going to be the last. Until when will he reincarnate? Until when will this keep on? The uncertainties just keep piling up that even they retained throughout the lives that he had gone through. 

“You know, I just noticed, but even if the meeting has finished, you seem like you still have a lot in mind,” you say, standing up from your chair as it was just him and you in the empty meeting room, the voices of the others fading away, “I want to tell you to focus—no, I need you to focus, but it seems this is something personal.” 

You smiled at him, patting him on his shoulders as you decided to pass by him, “Talk to someone. It might be awkward to have your boss tell you this, but I still have to take care of my employees.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you.” 

He watched as you walked away from his sight and the memory in his mind came too close to his liking. 

Speak for yourself, he wanted to say, until now, he hadn’t seen the same bright eyes you had when you were younger. 

It seems so much has changed that even if he told you who he was, you may be the only one who wouldn’t remember. 

The days had passed by since he met you again, but the nagging thought in his mind about whether he’d tell you the truth or not kept on appearing. He knew it was a bad idea… but it was you. 

 “You can tell me anything, I’m ready to listen to you anytime.” 

“We may not be close, but you know you can tell me anything. Well, maybe outside of the office. Only if you want to!” 

You were still the same as before, and it makes him wonder if he probably emitted the same vibe as his previous life, for you to act this way. 

“Why do you even care?”

“That is a nice offer. But maybe not.” 

He looks away before he can even see the dejected look on your face. “Ah, right, it’s unprofessional of me to ask. I apologize.”

He watches you again as you walked away. He doesn’t know if he can handle seeing you down, more so when it’s because of him. 

It was inevitable, he says to himself, he only needed to see if you were okay. 

Now that he had, however… what now?

┌───────── ·  ·  ·  · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

“What’s going on with you and… you know.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“Pretty sure you two have chemistry. I mean, have you seen how he looks at you?” 

For you, XIAO was a coworker, and of course, it was improper to even think more of him than that. 

But it proves to be difficult… unfortunately. 

He left an impression on you, most especially with your first conversation with him. He seems familiar, almost, as if he was someone whom you’ve known before, but of course, that would be impossible. 

Growing up, you didn’t have friends, save for a few whom you truly treasure and remember. If he was one of them, even way back, you could’ve remembered. 

You really could have. 

“Y/n, you seem to be preoccupied, is something wrong?” 

Instead of seeing the nagging and teasing Hu Tao from earlier, your eyes met Ganyu, your assistant, and also your best friend that has been with you for a very long time. If there was anyone who could know your past, it was her. 

“Do you perhaps find Mr. Xiao familiar?” 

“I’m not sure… Where did this come from?” 

“Nothing,” you wet your lips, “s’just weird. There’s just something in him that I couldn’t point out,” you paused, stopping on your tracks as your eyes gazed down onto the tiled ground, “do you think this has got something to do with ‘that’ day?” 

So suddenly, the atmosphere changed, and you were quite thankful that you couldn’t see Ganyu’s face, or else she would’ve mirrored the look on yours. 

“If it was,” she hesitates, ”then maybe the best person to talk this with is not me.” 

“What do you mean to say?” you question her as your head instinctively looks up. 

“What I meant was, would it not be the best option to talk about your lost memories with Mr. Zhongli? After all, he was the brother of… the boy you could not remember.” 

┌───────── ·  ·  ·  · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

The boy you could not remember. All you could recall was that his name was ALATUS, but you couldn’t say that it was purely out of your memory because it was others who reminded you of the boy who died in front of you. For you. 

It was an accident, nobody’s fault. They said that the car toppled over and it was him who had shielded you from being crushed. But you could not remember a single thing, even after eleven years had passed. 

But the thing is, you were so young when it all happened, a mere 6-year old will surely have not to remember what had occurred to them when they were that young, however, they did say that you suffered from amnesia nonetheless, the very reason why you couldn’t remember a single thing from your past. 

“You seem bothered,” a voice snaps you back to reality, and before you knew it, you were back into your office, seated on a rather comfortable chair with the familiar screen of the computer in front of you, unfinished work waiting for you your attention. And not to mention the sight of your subordinate standing not too far from your desk. 

“I apologize, I failed to see you, is there anything I could do for you?” you regained your composure quite fast, but for some reason, your heart pounded in your chest and your head began to ache. A hand instinctively reach to rub and massage your temple as you moved your gaze away from the man, settling on the computer screen to pretend that you were busy, at the least. You couldn’t, no, shouldn’t show any type of weakness in front of your subordinates, that’s what your father used to say. 

“I’m here to hand our reports,” he places a stack of papers on folders on your desk, seeing that they may be too heavy for him to hand over directly to you. When you met his eyes again, you saw them once more—that same expression that you couldn’t seem to point out. 

Yearning. Yet why?

Why is he looking at you as if he knew you? 

“What is it?” 

You bit your lip. He surely has a sharp tongue and a straightforward mindset. As his boss, you could’ve easily told him off, but there was this nagging thought in your head that you couldn’t get out of. 

“Do I know you?” the question slipped out before you could stop yourself, “I feel like we’ve met each other before.”

He looks away, “We have not, you don’t know me.” 

After that, he bowed in front of you and exited out of your office without letting you utter a single word. Well, even if he did wait, you could not have answered anything else without sounding embarrassed. 

You might’ve just mistaken it, then. 

┌───────── ·  ·  ·  · ꒰⚘݄꒱₊

“Alatus, I heard about this but, did you know that we have past lives? When I read that, it makes me think of what I have done in my past life, or what I will do in my future one. Don’t you think it’s quite interesting?” 

“What’s so fascinating about knowing when you could also remember your pas’s burdens?”

“Well… don’t you think even happy memories are more important?”

“Happy… memories…”

“Right? If you think that your life is on a tough place, being able to recall those joyous times can help you relax even for a moment. That’s why it doesn’t seem that bad to remember.”   

It might not have been fate, but he knew that there was a reason why he so badly needed to see you once more. 

It was not too long ago when he had heard the news that you suffered from memory loss when you were very little. Of course, the information was due to you being the heir to a wealthy family. This one, he truly did not know. 

When he came back to this world, he was searching for a purpose again, especially after he had recalled all the memories ofhis past lives. As someone who had lived for so long and for many times, it was not new for him to find for something that he could do. 

After all, what else should he do when he probably had done it his previous life? 

He did not expect that in the midst of living the 18th life, he’ll be able to connect them to his 19th one—such a bizarre situation that would make him bend his rules on not associating his previous lives’ relationships with the next one. 

Nothing good comes from not being able to move on. 

But now, when he realized how you must have suffered, how you must have been craving for the truth, it was too difficult to ignore. 

He walks away now, but it was all inevitable. 

He halts, clenching his fists as a question comes to mind. 

“Do you… really want to remember?” 

“Remember what?” 

He jumps when he hears your voice. All of a sudden, his heart pounds and he could feel the tension on the back of his neck. 

“It’s late, did you work overtime?” you asked, seemingly sensing the lack of response from him. 

“Yes,” he answers, but it didn’t feel right to end it that way… “you as well?”

“Yeah,” you say as you stand in front of him, “we worked diligently today, great job to both of us!” 

 “In my next life, I’d want to remember you.” 

“Remember me?” his brows furrowed, after all, this was the first time such a thing reached his ears, “Why would you want to remember me?” 

You smiled then, looking over ahead, not meeting his eyes. But for some reason, he knew that you were genuine,”Just because!” 

“Y/n.” 

“Yes?” 

As soon as you turned around, he hesitated, but with the sight of the memory on his mind, he feels a rush of confidence on his veins. 

“Did you know that we have past lives?”

i would have had this out sooner, but i completely forgot to do it until now lol

here's my reaction/review of snc's sixth video in their attachment series

aka "A Terrifying Experience at Insane Asylum (Madison Seminary)"

so happy we got another video with nate in this series. ngl, he is probably one of my favorite ppl that they collab with it.

to start off, i love the fact that they apparently didn't know what a seminary was. maybe it's just bc i lived near a catholic university for a bit, but i kinda weirdly thought that was common knowledge lol

i also love that they said it only became an epicenter of grief once it became a home for women and children who lost their fathers/husbands to war…

i'm not even gonna say anything to that.

idk what it was about this episode in particular, but…. i don't think i like adam. in the previous episode he was fun and dandy, but in this one… idk. i'm kinda uncomfortable by him.

what i will say is that i did like his description of ppl leaving energy in all these different locations and that's why certain places get more and more haunted over time. that's something i agree with, that i think certain ppl have attachments to themselves that they bring to all these places during investigations/visits (plus their own energy), and that energy can stick around or detach from them and stay in locations.

also, possibly the weirdest side note, i really like how colby says the word egregore lol

so… snc bringing up the weird beef adam has with mustafa was very unlike them (as @xplrvibes also said in her review). it was very strange for them to basically bring up internet beef, let alone bring it up to adam too. not to mention, but they didn't really do anything with this information besides say it to adam, and then adam just went like "nah, he's lying" and they just agreed lol

way to be hard hitting reporters there, snc.

honestly, my favorite quote from this whole video is from steve saying "everything about the paranormal is an opinion" and i couldn't agree more with that.

i will say tho, adam talking about how "other places" will put sea salt on windows to keep spirits, "almost like modern day slavery",….. that's an off-handed comment that i just don't agree with at all. like…………

anywayz

colby is 100% psychic in some regard. him going up to that one doll without even knowing it's maddie, and then playing with that one door, which was being slammed in a video…. he has abilities and needs to talk to a professional right now so that he can better understand himself and what he has.

also higkey i was wondering when they were gonna get a honey brand deal. everyone i follow under the sun has gotten one, it's about time they got one too.

sam's inability to realize that a traumatic experience someone had in a haunted location is probs not one they want to relive…. unmatched. no one else is quite like him, huh.

idk what it was but the intro to this video dragged on for so long. i will say it was their longest intro, just slightly over 30 mins. but yeah, rewatching it to write this review was annoying.

nonetheless, onto the investigation:

the basement with the hole, all of that was really interesting. idk why they had to put nate in the hole when they could have just put the equipment in there. however, it was still pretty cool to hear the spirit box thingy that sam had make sense to what they were talking about.

with the amount of energy colby gives off, that maddie doll must have been having the time of its life lol

all these little noises that they hear but we can't is really annoying to me. that's why they need a second camera in the hallway or something (which they plan on doing in season 2…. allegedly)

i love the second that they started saying "we're the vessels the spirits need to move from place to place" colby was SO QUICK to jump and say "i don't think it's us, it's just you sam" sksksks something about that was so funny

personally, i don't love that idea that they now think (possibly) that the thing that is attached to sam could be directing him to choose some of these locations, or is making him go to these hot spots bc of some (possible) sinister reason. if you start to believe that type of thing, you're gonna make yourself crazy second guessing yourself. plus, if the thing attached is bad, you're giving it more power.

the automatic ouija board thing that they are now using…. please stop. it doesn't really do anything. also it just looks lame as hell lol

i will say tho, while they were in the middle of doing that session, when they turned down the hallway to look bc they thought they heard footsteps, idk if any of you can see, but i saw that the pipe on the wall literally shakes or moves in some way. so… that was pretty freaky.

the picture that they drew…. ehh. sure, i guess it was a surgeon's tool.

all those noises in the hallway while they were in the doctor's room was kinda creepy ngl. knowing me tho, i would step into the hallway just to make sure someone wasn't actually in the building fucking around.

sam: did you want us to come into this room so you could torture us? colby: *violently shakes his head* nate: yo, don't ask that.

all of their devices going off gives me a bit of anxiety. maybe it's also bc of the high pitch noises everything makes. i don't think my ears can take that type of noise haha

nate with the fucking one-liners. them having sam stay in the corner by himself, mimicking what steve went thru, and nate's reply of "jesus, this is some weird fire to play with"…. I AGREE WITH YOU. YOU'RE SO SMART. LET'S MAKE OUT.

i'm starting to thirst after nate. someone please send help lol

those steps while they were doing this experiment was freaky. also, when sam came out of the room, he looked like he saw a ghost. he was also shivering… so that happened.

okay overall, i think (after looking at my other reviews and trying to figure out what to rate this) i'm gonna rate this episode a 3/5 but just barely. it was good, but it just fell a little short to me. idk what it was, but something about this episode was very 'meh' like for an extensive period of time. maybe it was all the attachment talk. idk. so far, there are only two episode in the whole series that they've released that went above a 3. not looking to good there boys. but you still got some time. hopefully today's episode and the season finale are good.

can't imagine the finale being good only bc amanda's in it, but i'll try to stay positive.

[just-a-creep-babe]

Matchup!

Commissioned by the lovely @folliaght, thank you!

~Requests are closed~ 

Masterlist: x 

I match you with: Masky & Jane the Killer

Alrighty SO

Because of her beef with Jeff, Jane doesn’t live in the mansion

But Masky does

So being in a relationship with the two of them can prove a bit… difficult

Most of the time, they usually just end up coming over to your place 

And they’ve got a nasty habit of dropping by uninvited whoops

Jane’s into a lot of the same things you are, so she likes taking you out to cool places on dates & trying new things with you

She lives to spoil you

Which means anytime you go out, whether it be to a museum, theater, fashion show or just a general shopping spree, not only will she pay for everything, but she’ll also buy you so. Much. Shit.

It can get a lil embarrassing tbh, but it’s part of how she shows affection

Dates with Masky tend to be more relaxed

He’d rather spend the night in, playing video games or binge watching some show/movie with lotsa cuddles uwu

Though sometimes, when you’ve spent the day out with Jane, he’ll put in extra time & effort to prepare a romantic one-on-one evening when ya get back

He knows his way pretty well around a kitchen, and after the meal, he might try to recite some cheesy poems because he knows you like them

Please don’t laugh at him, he’s trying his best

He’ll bring you out to a movie every now and then too, but museums & plays aren’t exactly his strong suit

Although he does have an interest in WWII, so he doesn’t mind going to history/war museums every now and then too

The movies you watch with him tend to be the slasher/horror genre, while you’re more likely to watch some cute animation films with Jane

But one time you made Masky watch a Ghibli film and he totally cried

They’re also both down to watch anime

Jane’s a bit of a closeted weeb

Homegirl’s also into vines & tiktok

She’ll search far and wide to reference one you haven’t seen yet

But you always know so much more than she expects lmao

Honestly, Masky didn’t even know what vines were before meeting you, and he’s thoroughly impressed at how you can recall them so easily

Also a lil terrified

Despite that, however, your sense of humour is pretty similar to his

So the two of you share a lot of ridiculous inside jokes

Especially when you’re either drunk or high

Both adore listening to you sing so. Much!

You've got such a pretty voice, they could listen to you all day~

On rainy evenings, there’s nothing Jane likes more than listening to you hum to yourself while maybe sketching or bullet journaling by your side

You’ve made some really cool looking collabs with her too!

And although Masky’s not really artistic, he’ll gladly hang out with you, vibing & watching you sketch with some vintage music on in the background 👌👌

They’ll try to help you out with your stage anxiety any way they can, giving you plenty of support & reassurance & lots of luvin’ so you at least get comfortable in front of them first

They’re super proud of the progress you make, and they’re always encouraging you to keep going

Overall, you make for a really good couple (triple??)

They’re always down to try new shit with you, then coming home and having a quiet night in, just hanging out, enjoying your presence & cuddling

NSFW

Girl

Your skirts

You know they’re gonna be all over that, especially with how handsy they like to get ;)

Masky tends to be a bit more sly when his hands wander

He’ll make sure no one else can see & then chuckle to himself when other people ask why you’re getting so flustered

Jane, on the other hand, is much more shameless, and won’t care where the two of you are as she reaches over and grabs a handful of your thighs

They’re both major teases about it, but of course, anytime you tell them to stop, they will without question

They don’t wanna make you uncomfortable or anything, they’re just a buncha flirts around you~

Honestly, they buy you any clothes you want, but that’s partly because they owe it to you after always tearing what you already own

When Masky does it, it’s usually cause he can’t help himself

You just look so cute and flustered beneath him, he can’t help but wanna touch more and more of you, his large wandering and savoring your skin before oops your shirt’s got a huge gash in it now

Jane ruins your clothes just coz she can & likes to ngl

She loves little gasps you make when the material breaks apart around you

And she loves dragging her knife up and down your delicate skin, so one way or another, those cute outfits aren’t gonna last very long

They’re both dominant and possessive af in the bedroom

So you always end up wildly overstimulated during & after threesomes, since they’re always competing to see who can make you orgasm the most

Drunk & high sex btw? All the time

Jane gets crazy horny when she’s high

And the way you become so flirty and confident is such a huge turn on for Masky

He ends up pouncing on you without even meaning to in the first place

And he’s so much more dominant under the influence, especially if you get a lil bratty

The’re both huge fans of lace & lingerie

They’ll lose if if they wake up to you cooking breakfast in nothing but your underwear & one of their shirts

Just be sure you don’t wear one of their shirts around the other, because they’ll immediately get crazy jealous

But, ya know, that’s a great way to get their attention one way or another ;)

When it’s one-on-one sex with Masky, he isn’t sensual very often

He’d rather fuck out his emotions, so he’s pretty rough with a brutal pace that hits hard & deep and leaves you sore for days

Jane’s a bit more open to love-making

But she’s pretty attached to her knife, so she might drag it up & down your body even when she’s being romantic

Cuddles after sex aren’t even a question

They wanna make sure they respected your boundaries and you feel safe & comfortable before, during & after

They care a lot about you tbh, which isn’t something they’re used to

So plez be patient with them because they don’t always know what they’re doing when it comes to romance lmao

[flawfreed]

hello everyone !!!! it’s ya demon here, the man the mitts the legend !!! my name’s bee, i live in the est tz , i’m 19, & i go by she/her pronouns (( ~ : i hnstly havent been this excited for a rp in awhile so let’s keep it short n i’ll get right to it  ! besides tht … im rlly dependin on yall 2 make this intro work so dnt let my intro flop n just hit tht lil ♡  ! or just ask for my d*ckcord n we gon be able to make sum spici connects !!

- ̗̀ ❛ PARK CHANYEOL, HIM/HIS . ❜  ̖́- is that paxton park getting out of their car blasting perfect places by lorde? i heard they’re twenty five and they’ve been living in scarsdale for three years. i mean, i’m not surprised –– i hear their family’s networth is 650k. everyone’s always said they’re pretty adroit and dauntless, but rumor has it they can be brazen and fickle, too

ok so im ngl but pax is lowkey based off ao3 yoongi ksdjf

tho if ur not into bts n tht just sounds like nonsense ... pls ignore me (( ~ :

anyWAYS ... so for all that the media & news outlets like to paint paxton ‘ pax ‘ park as the wild child fckboy who has a new piece of candy on his arm each week, who’s constantly dripping w luxuries & fuckin it up w the big bucks ... his beginnings rlly aren’t so grand !!

brought up w next to nothing & considered dirt poor, his family consisted of a deadbeat dad who turned to the bottle after losing his job when pax was ten & a housewife momther who turned to the arms of other men for comfort until she eventually ran away when pax was thirteen

case in case ! pax had a pretty litty shitty childhood & therefore doesn’t enjoy talkin about it .. ever ... at all

w only the scars left behind to remind him of those awful times, he ... rlly likes to keep the past where it belongs ( ~ : in the fckn past 

but after escaping his father’s terrors at 16 by becoming a high school dropout & runaway, pax made it on the streets by busking where he could & working odd jobs where he couldnt

being something of a musical genius, he eventually got scouted by a record label during one of his street performances & went on to working w them as a producer by the time he was nineteen

after that ... it was rlly only a matter of time before his first few collabs were dropped ; becoming instant hits & chart toppers as his popularity only continued to rise !

by twenty one,  he’d already made a name for himself in the music industry, & after dropping a few collabs with some big name artists, he’d been rolling in the big bucks ever since !

ofc, w that came the sudden interest from those around him who would’ve looked twice before but y oinks ... welcum 2 the life of the riche n famheaus pax

but personality wise uhhhh my boy doesn't rlly give a fck abt much ?? growing up w such an awful fam  gave him a p cynical view of the world n after realizing just how much ... easier n kinder the world was to u just bc u hav some money rlly ... fcked him up a bit ?? like even more than he already was dkjf

but he’s also kind of a gigantic hypocrite bc now tht he’s rolling in money he’s terrified of going back to a life without so he’s kind of a huge workaholic  too y iKES

but at the SAME time he’s a huge partyer money lover n vainglorious bastard bc wtf is money except meant to be spent ?? 

so he like ... spits on the idea of the rich bc theyre biased n have it easy in life n they set up the poor for familiar but he also skjf can’t live without money n he’s just ... conflicted n messy n awful to ppl 99% of the time !  ( except 4 waitstaff n those who work in customer service bc he gets it !! like he’s a notoriously big tipper my buoy ! )

but yeah so even tho at heart he’s rlly just a music maker recluse that has too much money n not enough friends ... the media have taken to depicting him in this lowkey justin bieber-ish way of being this bad boy who makes bad decisions n fcks up w every breath he take ksjf ( which idk ... justin biebs kinda does so ... ( ~ :

but yeah so for plot ideas i had a couple so hmu if any of them catch ur eye !!

an ex who dated pax before he got rich ! they were super in love at the time n pax rlly thought they were the one ?? but when they were given an ultimatum between pax n their trustfund ... well ( ~ : pax learned tht love hurts n he wrote many a good love song for this person.

i’d also love a kinda mentor figure to pax who took him in under his wing after pax suddenly shot up in net worth cause damn my boy def moved to scarsdale looking like real big tryhard !! 

besides that uhhh u know the usual ! best friends, fwb, ride or dies, maybe a past employer before pax made it big n he was still working odd jobs to support himself ??, or even an enemy who treated pax like shit once n he has ... nvr forgotten cause my boy will drop ded before dropping grudges, uhhh can u say party buddies too ?? or drinking buddies if ur muse is more of a bar scene type... besides tht .. rlly just hmu w whatever im sure we could brainstorm if nothing else !!
