Just friends

Lucy Bronze x Reader

Summary: Lucy has been your girlfriend for three years already, but lately, she's spending more time with Ona than with you. Is she falling out of love with you?

Word count: almost 4.2k

A/N: I'm back with another Lucy fic:) Thanks to @helen-with-an-a for the inspiration:) I still have a few requests that I want to finish soon, but I'm currently swamped with uni stuff... so be patient with me. Also, there is a happy end cause my heart can't take pure Angst hahaha. I hope you enjoyy

Warnings: Anxiety, struggling with self-worth, concussion, vomiting, angsty in general, if I missed something lmk:)

Living in sunny Barcelona, playing for one of the best clubs in the world and all of that with the love of your life. A pretty perfect life one would say. Well, currently, you are feeling none of that.

You are insecure. You always have been, but normally, Lucy is quick to pull you out of that mindset. You’ve struggled with self-worth your whole life. Always thinking everyone is better than you. It has gotten better since you started dating Lucy over three years ago, but one of your biggest insecurities is still that she’ll get sick of you and leave you for someone better.

You know Ona is just a friend. She’s Spanish and they’re really close, so of course there will be lots of physical contact. You don’t mind that. You’re not jealous. You’re just scared Lucy will fall out of love with you and in love with Ona.

All the edits on Tiktok and insta were not helping. It got so bad that Lucy tried to block the hashtags on your accounts. It worked for a while but not long.

As Lucy spends the third afternoon in a row with Ona, you start to get even more insecure and a bit pissed to be honest. “Again? I thought we wanted to go to the beach today”, You ask a bit annoyed. “Am I not allowed to spend time with my friends anymore?”, Lucy asks defensive, not liking your tone. You just sigh and say, “Never mind, have fun”, you say and go into the bedroom.

Lucy doesn’t bother to come after you. You have been having the same discussion for days already. Lucy completely oblivious to the fact that your anxiety is bad at the moment, instead thinking you’re jealous. You change into some shorts and a crop top before going back into the living room, ready to take Narla to the beach instead. However, Narla is gone, too. Lucy must’ve taken her with her to Ona.

Great, you don’t even have your cuddle buddy now. Sighing again, you dry the tears that have escaped your eyes. You grab a hat and sunglasses and go to the beach on your own. Needing to spend your time somehow and the beach and ocean help clear your head.

You get home late, just needing the time to think. “Where have you been?”, is the first thing you hear when you get in before you come face to face with an angry Lucy and an excited Narla. “The beach”, you just say as you squat down to greet the dog. “Until now? You couldn’t look at your phone? I was worried out of my mind!”, Lucy asks loudly.

“I haven’t looked at my phone since I left the house”, you just say without looking at the brunette. “Y/N I’m talking to you! I was worried”, She says angrily. You flinch slightly at her tone. The tears you worked so hard to fight back threatening to escape. You look up and say “I’m sorry. I needed to think. I didn’t realize how late it was getting “, you say quietly, trying to stay busy with scratching Narla’s little belly.

“Next time, look at your phone”, Lucy just says and turns around before getting back to the couch. You cuddle Narla a bit longer, the Westie noticing the inner turmoil in you.

Eventually, you stand up and head into the living room as well. “How was your time with Ona?”, you ask quietly. “You gonna get jealous again if I say good?”, Lucy grumbles. “Lucy, I’m not jealous!”, you say defensively.

“Oh really? Then why are we having this same fight over and over again?”, she asks, looking at you. “Because you’re spending every free minute with her. It’s like you’re attached at the hip. I’m sorry I want to spend time with you too”, you argue.

“Yeah sure, that’s the reason. I’m sorry I’m spending time with my friends. Damnit, Y/N! It’s obvious you’re jealous, at least own up to it!”, Lucy yells, and that cuts deep. That sentence just lets something snap in you. “You want me to own up to it? Fine! I’m NOT fucking jealous Lucy! I’m scared. I’m scared you’re falling in love with Ona! I’m scared you’ll drop me as soon as she says yes”, you yell with tears streaming down your cheeks, letting yourself be vulnerable in front of Lucy.

“Oh don’t be ridiculous! Ona and I are friends, and that’s it! You should hear yourself. It’s absurd. Stop making a big deal out of nothing”, Lucy dismisses your fear. She has never done that before. She knows how your mind works and what she just said will make you spiral. Apparently, though, she doesn’t care.

You just look at her and dry your tears roughly. Giving her a nod before you head away from her. “Where are you going?”, Lucy asks, confused. She can see you’re still angry. “Why do you care? I thought I’m just being dramatic”, you snarl as she notices that her choice of words maybe were not the smartest.

“Y/N”, Lucy tries half-heartedly. “No. Not once have you treated me like this. You act like I’m not even here! You don’t pay attention unless I’m saying something about Ona. You know how much that hurts?”, you yell tearfully. “Now you’re exaggerating…”, Lucy says with an eye roll. You just look at her in disbelief and give her a nod. You swallow hard and say “I’m going to bed.”

With that, you leave her alone in the living room and head to the bedroom. Normally, you never go to bed angry. That is one rule that’s important to both of you. Well, tonight, the rule will be broken. By the time she comes to bed, you act like you’re asleep already. She still kisses your head, but you just pull away from her slightly.

You hear her sigh softly, but she doesn’t say anything. Eventually, you fall into a restless sleep.

As the alarm goes off the next morning, Lucy turns it off, and you just sigh. “Good morning”, Lucy says gently. “Morning”, you just grumble before you sit up with your back to her. “Seriously? You’re still pissed? Come on, it’s getting ridiculous”, Lucy says with an eye roll. You turn to her and say “Even if I wouldn’t be pissed anymore, I would be again after this comment. But yeah, of course I’m the ridiculous one. Because God forbid your stubborn brain could acknowledge that maybe you’re not as innocent as you tell yourself you are.”

You just get up and get into the bathroom. Lucy doesn’t say anything and just sighs. She really does not understand what your problem is. You get ready separately, but you’re not hungry, so you just grab a protein bar and gel to eat before practice.

The drive to the training grounds is quiet. You don’t say a word. Once in the locker room, you quickly change, but your teammates notice the tension between the two of you.

Mapi comes in just as you’re almost done changing. “Oh trouble in paradise?”, she asks with a slight tease. As an answer, you just grab your boots and drinks before walking out of the locker room.

Mapi just looks concerned at Lucy, the teasing smile wiped from her face. You normally enjoy Mapi’s teasing or at least chuckle slightly. “She’s been like that since we fought last night”, Lucy says with a soft sigh. “Last night?”, Alexia asks. Most of your team knew your rule to never go to bed angry. So as Lucy nods, most of them look concerned at each other. This has to be a bad fight.

Everyone can tell you’re not in the mood during practice. You play a lot more aggressively than usual. But not the type of aggressive that would hurt another.

You’re pushing yourself hard today, just needing to get out the frustration somehow. As you do a quick round of scrimmage halfway through practice, you run into the box to be on the end of a nice cross from Frido. However you’re a bit late, so you jump in at full speed, trying to find the ball and head it in. One of those flying headers Lucy is known for. Ona, however, is there to defend you, and since she’s running backwards, she doesn’t see you throwing yourself in for the ball.

You crash together, and the collision makes you hit the ball with your temple, unable to get it into the goal. You both land on the ground roughly, you a few feet away from Ona because of the speed you had come with.

You both groan for a moment, stars appearing in front of your eyes momentarily, your head throbbing. You close your eyes for a second, but as you hear Lucy’s voice, you open your eyes. However, her question, if you’re okay, is not directed at you. She is squatting next to Ona. That was it. Yes, Ona was lying closer to Lucy, but still.

“You okay?”, Frido asks you softly, and you just mumble “I’m fine.” You get up as Lucy walks up to you, resting a hand on your shoulder, but you immediately shrug it off and say “Don’t touch me. Don’t act like you care now.” The team has never seen you so angry. You just walk away from the brunette and make your way back to your position.

You high five Ona, not angry at her for the tackle. You squeeze the bridge of your nose slightly as you walk back. God, your head is throbbing. Your world is spinning, and you’re not feeling good at all. You try to shake it off, but Alexia can tell, so she rests a hand on your shoulder and asks “You okay, y/n/n?”

You don’t answer her trying to gather yourself. However, you only drop to all fours a few steps later as the dizziness becomes too overwhelming. “Y/N!”, Alexia yells and quickly waves the physios over.

“What’s wrong, Y/N?”, the Physio asks, and you can only mumble “Dizzy, head throbbing.” Your ears were ringing slightly as you struggle to keep your composure. They look into your eyes and can see that they are unfocused. “Where did you hit the ball?”, he asks softly, having an idea what might be going on.

Your hand moves to your temple and the spot right next to your ear as you almost lose balance and face plant the grass. The physios steady you, and he says, “Yeah, that might be a concussion, let’s get you off the field and checked out.”

“Let me help”, Lucy says, wanting to help you up. “No, please just leave me alone”, you shrug off her hands with tears in your eyes. Alexia steps in and pulls you to your feet before guiding you to the physio room.

“What happened between you? Talk to me”, Alexia asks on the way, knowing the tears are from the emotional pain, not the physical. “We fought badly. She’s been spending a lot of time with Ona lately and ditches our plans for her. You know I’m not jealous. I know they’re just friends, but I’m scared Lucy is starting to fall in love with her and just waits to drop me. However, she completely dismisses my concern, telling me I’m ridiculous and dramatic. I don’t want her here. It’s like I’m not even there anymore. It's always just Ona”, you tell her tearfully, she wraps you in her arms for a second while you sob.

After a minute, you get it together, and Alexia presses a kiss to your head. “I know me saying this won’t help, but Lucy only has eyes for you, but I understand. I tell her not to come in here, but you gotta promise me you’ll talk to each other, okay?”, She says seriously. You just nod before you lie back on the physio bed.

Alexia leaves, and the physio checks you for a concussion. “So you said you’re head hurts and you’re dizzy, any other symptoms?”, he asks softly, shining a light into your eyes. “Nausea, sensitivity to light. I feel a bit out of it”, you answer, and he just nods. “Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is a mild concussion. The ball really hit you on an unfortunate spot. You should feel better after a few days, but for now let’s get you home and get some rest. No straining activities, keep yourself hydrated, and get some sleep, alright?”, he asks, and you nod.

He helps you get changed before driving you home. The motion of the car makes the nausea so much worse that you throw up as soon as you're home. You try to rest and sleep, but your head won’t let you. The thoughts just crashing on each other making you restless, so you pull on your sunglasses and a hat, grab your headphones to dampen the sounds and make your way to one of your favorite spots at the beach. It’s not a long walk, so you’re fine. The area is usually not filled with many people, so you just lean against the railing and look out on the sea as you sink into your thoughts.

Meanwhile, Alexia walks back out to see everyone have a small water break. Lucy is standing with Keira and Ona, nibbling on the bottle nervously. “How is she?”, she asks Alexia, concerned. “She’s hurt, not just physically. Lucy, what the hell is going on with you? You know how Y/N is, you can’t tell her she’s dramatic and ridiculous, thinking she won’t spiral”, Alexia says a bit angry. Everyone on the team knows that you need reassurance, especially when those thoughts in your head get too loud. And they all could see that was the case lately. “What?”, Keira and Ona ask at the same time as they look at Lucy disappointed. “She was going on and on about how I keep spending time with you and never with her. I just figured she was jealous, and it isn’t a big deal. And as she told me she’s scared I will fall in love with you just something in me snapped, I couldn’t stop it”, Lucy tries to argue quietly as she looks at Ona, but she knows she’s in the wrong here.

Alexia just smacks her hard in the back of the head and grumbles “Estúpida!” “Lucy, her logical brain knows that there is just friendship between us. But you know how insecure she can get, and it’s been getting worse again lately. You should’ve been more attentive”, Ona says, disappointed. “Yeah you better fix this before it's too late”, Keira says seriously, and Lucy just sighs, realizing that she really messed up. “Right now she doesn’t want to see you, I think she has a mild concussion so give her some space, but you guys gotta talk tonight”, Alexia says and gives the brunette a little shove back onto the field.

At the end of practice, Lucy immediately runs to the physio room, but you’re gone. „Where is she?“, Lucy asks the physio as he comes in. „I drove her home. She needs rest“, he says, and she just looks worried at him. „Lucy, relax. It’s just a mild concussion. The ball just hit her at the wrong spot. She’ll be okay in a few days“, he says reassuringly, but it does little to calm her worries. She pushes her hair out of her face and takes a deep breath. „I know, I just really messed up. Thank you for driving her home. I gotta go“, Lucy says and jogs into the locker room. Changing with the speed of light before grabbing her bag and running out again. She doesn’t have time for a shower. She needs to get to you.

Speeding home, she runs in and looks around for you, but the apartment is empty. Grabbing her phone, she calls Alexia. „She’s not here“, Lucy says as soon as Alexia picks up. „Lucy, calm down. What?“, Alexia says, still in the locker room with most of the girls. Ona and Keira look up as Lucy‘s name falls, coming a bit closer so they can hear too. „She’s not here. Y/N is not here. She was told to rest, where is she? What if something happened?“, Lucy asks, worried. Rechecking all the rooms. „Hey Luce, calm down. Come on, take a deep breath“, Ona says, and Lucy rubs a hand over her face before taking a deep breath. „Think. Is there any place Y/N could be? Any place she likes to go to think?“, Keira asks gently but worried about you as well.

The line is silent for a moment as Lucy tries to think. „Isn’t there a spot at the beach close to your apartment that she likes?“, Alexia asks as she remembers you telling her about something like that. „Yeah, I think I know where she is. I‘ll keep you updated, thank you“, Lucy says and hangs up before she grabs her keys and phone and is out the door again. Leaving a completely confused Narla behind.

She sends a quick text to Ona and asks her if she could take Narla out while she was looking for you, which she, of course, does. She runs almost the whole way to the beach. As she gets to the part where it is quiet and especially during this time empty, she sees you leaning at the railing. She sends a quick „I found her“, message to the three girls and packs her phone away. Catching her breath, she slowly approaches you.

„What are you doing here?“, you just ask without looking at the brunette. You know exactly who it is without having to take a look. „I wanted to make sure you’re okay“, Lucy says softly, taking your headphones from your ears carefully. You look at her, your eyes hiding behind your sunglasses. „As you can see I’m fine“, you just say.

“Y/N, I’m sorry. Can we please talk?”, Lucy asks softly. “What? You just wanna tell me I’m ridiculous again? I can deal without, thank you”, You just say and turn to look out to the sea again. “Hey, no”, Lucy says and guides your chin back to look at her. She pushes your sunglasses up to look into your eyes and says honestly “I messed up badly, and I’ve been an ass. I didn’t pay attention and did not treat you like you deserve. I’m sorry. I know a simple I’m sorry won’t do it, but I need you to know that.”

“You know how disgusting it feels to be treated like you make a big deal out of nothing, when it’s all you can think about? When your insecurities and anxiety get dismissed with a simple, you’re being ridiculous? You know how I am Lucy. My logical brain knows that Ona and you are just friends. A simple reassurance and afternoon spend together would’ve fixed everything, but instead, you had to treat me like a piece of shit. Like I’m just this jealous clingy girlfriend. Do you know how much that hurt? To feel like you’re throwing three years away just like that? I’m not asking you to stop spending time with her or not checking on her when she goes down during practice, but, for fucks sake, don’t take me for granted. I don’t need much, but if you want this relationship, you gotta treat me with the respect and love I deserve. Because I can’t take whatever this is much longer. Love me or leave me, that simple”, you tell her as tears start to fall from your eyes. The more words leave your mouth the more tears fall.

She knows how fast you can spiral, but she hasn’t expected it to be this bad. She gently dries your tears as she starts to tear up a bit herself. “Y/N I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I acted like that. I should’ve seen how much my behavior hurt you. Instead, I just kept going and didn’t pay attention. I was wrong, and you didn’t deserve that. I never wanted you to even think about doubting that my love for you is still there. I messed up, and yes, I took you for granted without noticing, and I’ll never forgive myself for that. Y/N, I love you. I love you so much, and I don’t know how my head got so messed up that I stopped trying to show that to you. I’m truly sorry, I promise to make it up to you if you let me. I promise, I love you like you deserve because you deserve the world, my love”, Lucy says honestly, and you just hiccup slightly, trying not to sob. This is all you needed to hear, but you spiraled so deep you’re not sure if you can trust her words.

“Are you just saying this, or is this the truth?”, you ask tearfully. “It’s the truth, please let me make it up to you and love you like you deserve”, Lucy says softly, scared that she really messed up so bad that she’s past the point of a second chance. “Okay”, you mumble quietly, praying you won’t regret trusting her. You’re just in a bad place mentally, and it’s hard to even trust Lucy.

As she hears the okay, she’s quick to pull you into her arms and kisses your forehead. She holds you close, and you cling to her, crying into her chest. Tears are falling down her cheeks as well, but her focus is on you. She needs to take care of you now, treating you like you deserve.

It takes you a few minutes to calm down, Lucy’s heartbeat being able to pull you out of those dark clouds in your head and into a more relaxed state. But that also makes you feel the symptoms of the concussion again. It’s a blessing and a curse. You squeeze your eyes shut as your world spins.

Lucy can tell how unsteady you’re getting, so she just tightens her grip on you and says “Shh, I got you, my love. Let me take care of you.” You just clutch her shirt tightly, leaning on her heavily. Your head pounding. “Let’s get you home. You want me to call a cab to get us home?”, Lucy asks softly as she kisses your head. “No, the motion makes me throw up. I’ll be okay, just give me a minute”, you mumble and try to breathe through the pain and dizziness.

“Take your time, I’ll carry you if you need me too”, Lucy says, and you know she will, but it’s a 15-minute walk to your shared apartment. “Yeah and then you won’t be able to walk for the next three days because of your knee”, You tease weakly. Lucy can’t help but smile at this slight return of banter. “It’s worth it for you”, Lucy just says with a soft shrug and smiles before she kisses your forehead.

You just smile softly and rest against her for a moment longer, taking a few deep breaths. “Okay, I’m ready”, you mumble, and Lucy wraps an arm around your waist to steady you while you make your way home slowly. “When you need a break, tell me”, Lucy says and kisses your temple gently, and you nod.

To be fair, by the time you’re almost home, she is half carrying you. You’re exhausted and definitely pushed yourself too hard today after your concussion. The nausea gets worse the more you walk, so barely five minutes away you stop Lucy and start to throw up again into the grass without much of a warning. “Okay, I got you, love. Deep breaths”, Lucy says, gathering your hair and rubbing your back while keeping you steady. There is not much for you to throw up, so you calm down quickly, but your legs are threatening to give out.

“Do you want me to carry you on my back or bridal style? What do you think will make you less dizzy?”, Lucy asks, it’s not a question of if. It’s how you want to be carried. “Bridal”, you just mumble quietly. Being able to hide your face in Lucy’s neck sounds amazing. She picks you up immediately and carries you the rest of the way home. Did her knee protest a bit? Yes, but she’d do it all over again without a thought.

Once home, she carries you to bed, and you’re greeted by Narla, who jumps on the bed and showers you in kisses. Lucy sets up a bucket and enough water before tucking you in. “Get some sleep. Rest that pretty head of yours. I’ll be here when you wake up”, Lucy says, running her fingers through your hair. “Promise?”, “Promise. I love you”, Lucy says softly.

“I love you too, I missed you”, you just mumble before you doze off. The last thing you feel is a kiss on your forehead.

hi hi! joining in the birthday asks with 1 for kuroo please! 🫶

hi hi hi !! come get a present for my bday !!

1. have a favorite character? here, have 5 of my top headcanons for them

kuroo my dearly beloved!!!! thank you for asking, i want to talk abt him all of the damn time. under the cut because. yeah. i'm just like this. (very minor kuroken notes included, lmk if you want hcs w/o any of that)

i think that there was a time when he dreamed of becoming a professional volleyball player. in the extended haikyuu canonverse that lives in my head, he couldn’t make it onto a professional team after graduating high school, so he decided to go to university and play there instead of going pro. once he was in uni, he got an internship with the JVA and kind of just fell in love with the job. he decided he was better off not as a player but working behind the scenes. it’s not really something that he’s insecure about or regretful of, but it is very much a “what if” that he thinks about sometimes. (ok fine yes i wrote a fic about this and never published it and that’s why i’m thinking abt this, hush)

he is terrible at social media. like, not only for jva promotional posts (which is canon) but for his own social media as well. his instagram is blurry photos of the sunset with cheesy captions and twenty five hashtags. he doesn’t know how to block people on twitter, which is a problem as he tends to get into passive aggressive arguments with trolls (kenma eventually shows him how, exasperated at kuroo’s complaining abt the people dming him). this being said, he has a tik tok dedicated to making bad fan edits of his friends on professional volleyball teams. this has done more promotional work for the v.league than anything he has ever seriously posted on twitter.

actually he’s just terrible with technology in general. he doesn’t get how it works, and he’s the kind of person who likes knowing things. the fact that he doesn’t just get how internet and tech overall work drives him insane. he’ll try and take things apart to see how they tick (literally) but he doesn’t know how to put them back together. he claims his computer hates him personally, but in reality, he just spilled orange juice on the keyboard once and now the n key sticks. he doesn’t know what a dark mode is and at this point he’s too afraid to ask. his phone password is 1234. he doesn’t know where the wifi router in his house is because kenma set it up for him and, if pressed, he would not be able to tell you what the said wifi router does in the first place. (kenma knows enough about tech for the both of them, he says. kenma replies, you have ten viruses on your laptop and still haven’t set up face id on your phone. kuroo tells him to shut up.)

that all being said, his spotify account is insanely organized and personalized exactly how he wants it. he has music OPINIONS and he is not afraid to share them. he’s always ready with a song rec for any genre, but he is also ready to tear apart a person’s music taste if he thinks they like something compositionally bad. he absolutely has a superiority complex based on his music taste but refuses to admit it. he has playlists for every mood and situation, all sorted into folders and listed alphabetically. for people’s birthdays, he likes to give them carefully curated playlists based on their taste and things he thinks they would like. (he makes kenma a mixtape on a cassette tape for their first anniversary and kenma is very very grateful but also “kuro literally how am i going to listen to this. what were you thinking.” “it’s romantic!” “i mean sure but that doesn’t change the fact that i still can’t listen to it.” “....fine, i’ll send you the spotify link.”)

he loooooovesssssss bad b rated horror movies. he thinks they’re hilarious and the height of entertainment. at a team sleepover, he convinces the team to watch one with him, and he provides running commentary throughout the entire thing. just in general, he tends to talk a lot during movies and tv shows, whether or not they’re good. the more he talks during it, the more he’s enjoying the movie/show. his commentary is usually pretty good/funny/entertaining, but there are times when it just gets obnoxious. kai is a patient man but he will deck kuroo if he laughs at a dramatic death scene one more time.

hi, welcome to my tumblr! this post is just a navigation post that outlines more about me and how i run my blog to make it easier for anyone who comes across it.

i've had this account for almost 10 years but recently decided to repurpose it as i was not liking how it was. i've also been wanting somewhere that i could discuss and talk about some of my interests more.

please make sure to read through everything before you follow me.

about me

my name is isobel, i'm 22 and i'm from sydney, australia

my pronouns are she/her and i'm queer! i identify as demisexual

i'm currently a full time uni student

message and ask preferences

my ask box is always open and i'm happy to chat! i personally prefer asks to dm's as i sometimes can feel a little uncomfy and awkward when someone dm's me but i will still answer anyway!

please don't send me any super personal questions about my sexuality. i'm more than happy to answer anything about my journey with figuring myself out or educating you on demisexuality and the ace spectrum if you're trying to understand better. but anything which is extremely personal such as my sexual preferences or if i've ever been sexually attracted to someone etc. will be ignored and deleted.

anything that is sent to me that i consider hate or harmful will be ignored and deleted. this includes anything racist, homophobic and queerphobic, xenophobic etc. in particular, i will not be putting up with any hate towards my sexuality and asexuality as a whole. either your message will be deleted or i will post it so i can clown you and your ignorance

things i post about/reblog (aka my interests)

books. i talk about books alot and i primarily read ya (mainly contemporary and fantasy), romance (contemporary, fantasy and urban fantasy, historical) as well as standard fantasy (can you tell i really enjoy anything fantasy)

kpop. i've been a kpop fan since 2015 and it's something that has been a bit of a lifeline for me over the years. my current ult groups are ateez, sf9 and stray kids but i'm a multi-stan and stan numerous other groups

marvel. i'm a massive marvel fan and have been for several years now. recently my obsession has grown because of all the new tv shows as well as a bunch of the movies coming out almost back to back here in australia over the last 6 months

star wars. i've loved star wars ever since i was a kid but i've been really into it lately because of the mandolorian and now am completely obsessed with the show (and grogu)

random aesthetics. i really like looking at aesthetic photos (specifically anything cottagecore, desk setups/studying photos and bedroom or room photos) and so i'll most likely reblog those occassionally

i'll probably edit this list as needed. i also lurk on here and like stuff more often than actually posting or reblogging anything so this list is more of what to expect if i do post anything.

what hashtags i use for my posts

i use #isobelspeaks for anything that is a personal post

anything that i talk about for books, tv and movies will be spoiler tagged if the post contains spoilers. same for anything i reblog

i will be regularly updating this post as needed!

Keep Calm and Go to London chapter 24

Synopsis: This is the story of (y/n), a successful actress, musician, musical producer and songwriter. After battling depression and breaking up a long relationship, she seeks for a change of air, escaping LA for a while going to visit some friends in London and there she meets Henry. -Disclaimer: some chapters are mostly smut.

Previous Chapters in the masterlist

Triggers: talking about sex (daddy kink) (NOT SMUT😁🤣) - I think that’s the only trigger- I think.

Tag list: Here’s the incredible people who showed me support (thank you so much for that) and people who asked me to tag them too ☺️ (I think I will write a few chapters of this story, if you want me to tag you, tell me ☺️ ) @cavillanche @mary-ann84 @henry-owns-these-tatas @yespolkadotkitty @dancingwendigo constip8merm8 penwieldingdreamer iloveyouyen littlefreya wondersofdreaming alyxkbrl solariumss sweetybuzz25 @thethirstyarchive @agniavateira @honeyloverogers @hell1129-blog @lunedelorient @michelle-1185 @madbaddic7ed @summersong69

Good morning, daddy! - you said entering the kitchen, in a sexy tone.- What an amazing night. - you added as you approached him and kissed him. He became red as a tomato and his eyes were wide open. You looked at him confused and then you heard someone cough and laugh. You turned your head to the side and saw that in the kitchen island was the laptop open in the zoom app and there was Charlie, Henry's younger brother, with whom your boyfriend was chatting before you appear. You blushed as well and laughed. - Oh, hi Charlie! - you greeted - I would say good morning, but it's more than clear that it is, in fact, a good morning for you! - he joked. Oh, the audacity. - Would it help to clarify that I only call him daddy as a joke because his fans call him daddy all the time on Instagram? - Sure.- he laughed even harder. - It's true. I'm not really into the daddy kink... I'm more into him being the naughty boy I have to punish. - you said, grinning and winking at your lover's brother. Henry became red as a lobster. Poor shy boy. - Too much information. I'm sure the rest will love to hear that, specially Simon.- Charlie pointed out. - Charlie, I love you, but if you say a word of this to the others, I'll Superman your ass out of this planet. - Henry warned him. You looked at him confused by the threat and Henry explained that was a joke related to a sketch he made for Jimmy Kimmel Live a few years ago. You chuckled. - Don't worry. I won't say a word. I promise. - Charlie assured him. - Even if he says something you shouldn't worry babe, you were amazing, it's not something you should be embarrassed about, you should be proud of your awsomeness.- you said and winked. - Ok, TMI, baby, TMI. - he said grinning. - Alright. I'll shut up. - you promised. Then, you grabbed the avocado toast your boyfriend made you and some tea and went into the living room to take your breakfast and leave him so space to talk to his brother in peace. You picked up your laptop and checked for mails and to see if your band members had finished recording their parts for the new song you were working on, so you could put it all together. You checked your social network as well, and people were still going crazy about the news of your relationship. You curiously entered your name's hashtag and it was full of news about you and Henry and the paparazzi pictures from the day before and everyone sharing their opinions. You were surprised by how many people like the idea of you two being together. Some fans were angry but less than you expected. Other were rather worry than mad. You saw an account share a piece of video from an interview in which Henry said that his biggest dream in life was to start a family and with that video, she shared other in which you said to Ellen Degeneres that you didn't want to have kids and how angry it made you that when you said that you did not want kids, people would ignore your opinion and just comment "You're young, you'll change your mind". You sighed. You couldn't blame them for being worried. They just wanted him to be happy and starting a family being his biggest dream were words that came from his mouth. You wanted to tell them that they shouldn't worry. You wanted to let everyone know that you'd let him be if you couldn't give him what he wanted so badly, but at the same time, you knew it was better to say nothing. You didn't own anyone any explanation. It was something between you and Henry. It was nobody else's business. You needed to learn to respect yourself better. A little after that, Henry called you from the kitchen and you went there. He wanted to ask you what you wanted for lunch. You indicated that you were ok with anything he wanted to prepare and apologized if he was uncomfortable with the things you said to his brother before and he smirked and kissed you, assuring you he found that amusing and he and Charlie had a good laugh about it. - People are going insane on the internet about us. - you commented - I know, I saw it myself.- he admitted - Your fans are worried because I said in the past that I didn't want kids. - you sighed. - Don't let it bother you. This is something that only should concern the two of us and nobody else. I'm a big man, I know what is best for me.- he told you and then kissed you. - So you are still ok with people knowing about us? - you questioned - Are you kidding? I'm a legend. Superman got the Hollywood Superwoman! - he exclaimed.- Everyone is wondering how the hell I managed to get you to date me.- he said proudly - Haha, very funny! I'm the lucky one, sir! Look at you, Greek God, you're a piece of art. How could anyone be surprised I'd lost my mind over you.- you replied, grabbing his waist and kissing him. He smiled and pressed his forehead against yours. - So you asked me if I was ok, what about you? Is ok with you that people know about us? - he wondered. - Absolutely. I like being the bitch everyone envy because the hottest and sweetest guy in Hollywood and the world is dating her. I love the fact that people know your heart is mine and mine is yours.- you affirmed and he smirked while stroking your face. - So, you think we should make it official? - you asked - Is it official already? - he questioned confused. - Not technically; not until one of us confirmed it.- you pointed out and he put his best "Well, would you look at that" face. -Sure, how you want to do it? - I have an idea on the mind- you replied smirking devilishly. So you went into the living room and put on Taylor Swift's "London Boy" to play aloud and started to record yourself lip-syncing some parts of the song.

(...) But something happened, I heard him laughing I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent They say home is where the heart is But that's not where mine lives

You know I love a London boy I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon He likes my American smile Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates So I guess all the rumours are true You know I love a London boy Boy, I fancy you (ooh)

And now I love high tea, stories from uni, and the West End You can find me in the pub, we are watching rugby with his school friends Show me a grey sky, a rainy cab ride Babe, don't threaten me with a good time They say home is where the heart is But God, I love the English

That last line earned a huge smile on your part.

You know I love a London boy I enjoy nights in Brixton, Shoreditch in the afternoon He likes my American smile Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates So I guess all the rumours are true You know I love a London boy Boy, I fancy you.

You posted the video on your Instagram feed and added some highlighted lines from the lyrics. "So I guess all the rumours are true You know I love a London boy Boy, I fancy you."

People went crazy with your post. Your friend Taylor left many hearts on the comments. But the comment that stood out was Henry's: " 😳🤯😍 🥰❤️❤️❤️ 🇬🇧 ". That made you feel incredible. The fact that he did not care about people's opinions and would proudly show affection to you in front of the world made you incredibly happy. For the first time, you experienced what being loved unconditionally felt like.

Analysis of “Flat 15B” from Halls

This is exactly what it sounds like. I took apart the lyrics of the song to try and figure out more about the characters. I only have the brief descriptions George and Jen gave and a six minute song, but I tried.

Jessie

Jessie (Grace Mouat) is the person who immediately tries making friends and initiates the Flat 15B group chat. She says things and criticizes herself for it afterwards like when she says “#15B? Oh my god, who even hashtags anymore” and “Oh god, not a wink face.” She questions very small things she does in regards to other people. This could be one of the things she works on throughout the show.

“I don’t know how I’ll cope with sharing a bathroom” demonstrates some of that privilege George and Jen mentioned. She probably doesn’t have any siblings because if she did, she would’ve shared a bathroom at least once. This privilege is different from the privilege they mentioned Will having. Will’s benefits are a lot clearer to see, but Jessie’s are very small things.

She mentions relationships twice with her lines, “Mom keeps on telling me that the best days of your life getting a first class degree, while finding Mr. Right” and “Did you know that 40% of people find their partners at uni” so I think she may have a romantic plot or subplot throughout the show.

She says “moving in gets nearer” as if it’s something she’s scared about. She’s obviously nervous about it, but in a very subtle way. It’s expected to be nervous and anxious, but Jessie treats her fear like something to be ashamed of.

Zoe

Zoe (Olivia Moore) is our resident theater major. She comes off as friendly and open like Jessie, telling her “you’ve got yourself a wing-woman right here” in response to Jessie’s “Mr. Right” line. If I were to mark one definite friendship, it would be Zoe and Jessie.

The lines she has to herself are both about her clothes fitting in the car and how many shoes she’s taking. This doesn’t give much information, but people who overpack generally do it for the reassurance that everything they may need is with them.

Zoe is also nervous about this whole university experience, but she’s straightforward about it. She says “I’m feeling scared” and that fact she’s sacred doesn’t bother her like it bothers Jessie.

Natalie

Natalie (Millie O’Connell) has already made herself known as the party girl from the very first line she sings. She seems to be somebody who likes to joke around as shown in her line “Wink face? That’s a bit keen.” I’m not entirely sure that’s what she’s saying, but it’s definitely something making playful fun of what Jessie said.

She is already like, “I can’t wait for Freshers week,” which is a week long period before classes start to get Freshman settled. There are parties and drinking all the time, and Natalie wants in on that. “No one to check what time that I get home…” made me think she doesn’t want people concerning themselves with what she does. She’s kinda like “I’m just tryna have some fun, so don’t worry,” and yes, that was a SIX reference. I’m not ashamed of myself because it fit very well.

Natalie has this one track mind of going to parties and drinking. Almost every line she says has something to do with partying or drinking, for example “I packed my tequila.” This whole party attitude reminded me of Farrah from We Are The Tigers, and if they are similar, Natalie has some issues she’s trying to run from.

Josh

Josh (Tarinn Callender) is the person you hate, but you love. He also seems like a bit of a party person, but not as much as Natalie. Almost all of his lines are about sex and appearances.

He’s cocky and confident, as seen in his line “Can’t see any girl saying no to me when I move in,” but if I’ve learned anything from school, the people who seem incredibly confident and cocky are faking it until they make it.

Dan

Dan (Cameron Burt) starts his section off with “This has to be the thing for me” because he started university before but dropped out. He no doubt feels pressure to stick with whatever he’s doing because of the fact he’s already quit once. I can already assume he probably feels awkward being older than everybody else.

He comes off as incredibly shy and reserved especially with Josh and Natalie coming right before him. In comparison to those two, he’s like a mouse. Dan looks very chill and relaxed to me. Everybody else texted something kind of bold, like Josh or interacted with the others, like Zoe, but Dan just said “Hey everyone. I’m Dan. Nice to meet you” and sort of left it at that.

Sam

Sam (Sophie Isaacs) is our working class student who juggles multiple jobs throughout the show. She’s not exactly poor, but she’s having difficulties with student loans. She says she’s “packed all my life into a case,” which suggests she doesn’t have very many things to even take with her.

She states “I can’t believe I’m going to get out of this place.” She either hasn’t been anywhere but the area she lived, or she didn’t think she’d manage to get into university anyway. There’s a chance her family didn’t go to university.

“I’m not coming back” is said with strength and confidence. She’s determined that she's getting out of that small town for good. There is no way she’s returning.

“I’m not gonna slack, I’m gonna make my family proud,” follows that line. She certainly doesn’t slack off because it’s been confirmed that she’s always working in order to pay off her loans. She’s going to do whatever it takes to get herself through school and make her family proud. I’ve had her character for less than a day, and I would kill for her.

Josh, Dan, and Sam all claim that they aren’t scared, which is different from the previous group, Jessie, Natalie, and Zoe. Natalie never outright says she’s scared, but I’m pretty sure she’s more nervous than she’s let on.

Lewis

Lewis (Alex Thomas-Smith) is this confident gay character who helps the others on their road to find themselves. I’m not sure if that’s in a mom friend way of helping them, or a friend who roasts you every time you try to make bad decisions, but either way it’s great.

He says “everything will start again when I walk through that door,” implying there’s something he wants to redo. He’s confident now, but he definitely wasn’t always like that. There’s something that happened he doesn’t want to think about.

“They’re gonna see me as who I am, not who I was before” gives off a similar idea as the previous line. These could be references to his sexuality, but it doesn’t feel that way. This makes me think he’s done/said some things he’s not proud of. Sexuality isn’t a “who I am now vs. who I was back then” type of situation because if you’re gay now, you were always gay. It’s not one of those things that starts after some event, it’s just a matter of realizing. He was somebody before that he doesn’t want to be associated with who he is now, and I doubt that the reason he’s so ashamed of this previous version of himself is because he wasn’t out of the closet.

“Cause I’ve already wasted time being scared and having to hide” does seem like a reference to Lewis’ sexuality, but I still don’t think that’s what the other two lines were about. His sexuality can be a reason he’s confident though. A lot of openly LGBTQ+ people are more confident because they’ve already accepted who they were. This is supported by the line “I won’t have to lie” because it implies he’d lied about who he was before.

Will

Will (Matteo Johnson) is also a law student and is supposed to be a parallel to Sam. They study the same thing, but because of finances, Will is much better off than Sam. Because he has rich parents, he doesn’t have to concern himself with working to afford school.

He’s seen speaking to his mother before he starts singing, and it doesn’t appear like she’s able to support him at school. We don’t know what she’s saying, but Will responds “Yeah, no, I understand it’s your job.” Even as he’s doing what his parents want, they still aren’t able to be there for him. “I’ll see you at Christmas” implies that from when he starts school in August or September, he won’t see his parents the entire time.

“My whole life has always gone perfectly to plan” perfectly shows that Will hasn’t been making his own choices. His major probably wasn't his choice nor was the school. “Never straying from the path that they laid out” conveys the same message. His parents planned out everything he did, and he never questioned it. “For the first time in my life, I suddenly feel unsure” shows that he’s doubting whether he wants to follow everything his parents tell him to do. He’s even doubting the fact that he’s doubting himself, “maybe I’m just scared.” After not questioning anything his whole life, now he doubts everything. A major point in Will’s story is going to be finding out what he wants and stepping away from the path his parents have for him

THAT WAS SO LONG! If anybody actually managed to read that entire thing, I must applaud you. 1511 words of character analysis based off of one song. I have way too much time on my hands, but I’m just so excited for this musical.

#halls the musical #six the musical #six musical #grace mouat #millie o'connell #olivia moore #tarinn callender #cameron burt #sophie isaacs #alex thomas smith #matteo johnson #if you managed to read this whole thing #thank you #this is just speculation #but my english teacher says im good at analysis

Ud be top teir fic hustler bet lolol. As far as the rec maybe I'm asking for more than 1 thing? So on the one hand for hl canon or au doesn't matter just some fics where they're exploring kink; being inexperienced and working through that? Then fics that give that vibe/air, like wankerville (Hush is in my top ten so good) but yes def fics like that too. To be fair any pairing is fine I can always nope out but as this point I trust ur opinion so if you like it, I prolly will too xo

Holy smokes, this is a lot to pack into one ask, but I can definitely answer it/provide some stuff! I feel like a lot of these are going to cross over, so look for some detailed notes below!

Okay, let’s start with authors who have a specific tone to their writing that’s absolutely dreamy and swoony, who elevate text to literal works of art, and funnily enough, who are ALSO some of my faves because they tend to do the best with kink exploration and negotiation, my GOD, I could wax on about this topic all the livelong day. Ahem. Anyway, here are ten authors to absorb because they’re a hashtag mood (in no particular order):

wankerville

objectlesson

blake

eleadore

mediaville

HappyPrincess

glasscushion

14hrflight

TheCellarDoor

vondrostes and tomlinzn (this last one is a cheat of a double up because most of their individual works are not on ao3; Terran = patreon, Hima = tumblr)

Now let’s look at some kink exploration fics. NOTE: I would literally rec everything Phoenix/objectlesson has ever written because she’s so brilliant at this particular theme, ditto everyone else on that list, too, so just assume the list below includes everything from the people up above as well. I literally think I could rec thousands, or that I have??? But I’ll pull it in, lmao:

Lay So Still, by yougotmetieddown, 3k words, E. Harry’s almost there but he needs Louis to push it further, just a bit further. Because it’s good, it’s damn near perfect but there’s still something missing, and Harry’s not above begging, never has been when it comes to Louis. (Harry likes being used; this is the first time)

like poison coursing through me, by orphan_account, 4k words, E. Louis loves it when Harry’s desperate. Or, the one with copious dirty talk, Daddy Louis, and Harry wetting himself in the shower. (yeahhhhh for multiple kinks!! but mostly desperation, and it’s lovely how Louis gets Harry on board with this one)

it’s warmer from worlds away, by sarcasticfluentry, 4k words, E (needs ao3). It turns out that searching the word ‘pump’ mostly returns videos like “tight ass pumped hard by black cock,” which is not what Harry’s looking for, at least not today….or, Harry discovers a new kink while Louis isn’t home. (one of my fave authors, and the way Louis’s involved over the phone is a chef’s kiss moment)

Your Serve, by larrymylove, 4k, M. The one where the boys take up playing ping-pong back stage, and the image of Louis with a paddle is making Harry’s life difficult; even more so when he comes home to find Louis’ bought a ping-pong table of their own. (here for Louis being oblivious for a good long while)

Only Thing That Can Quench My Thirst, by eyesofshinigami, 6.5k words, E. Louis wouldn’t exactly call it a thing, his newfound fascination with the curly trail that starts below Harry’s bellybutton and disapears into his skinny jeans. It’s definitely not a thing. It’s just… Alright, maybe it’s a thing. And that’s okay. (internal screaming, this is the fic that launched the pubefest…and I actually got to chat with the author the other day about it, dreams can come true!!!!)

I May Be Crazy, Don’t Mind Me, by ShapeOfLou, 8.3k words, E. The one where Harry keeps seeing things that make him want to try something new in bed, but he worries about how to tell Louis or how Louis will feel about it. (mpreg kink? yes PLEASE)

horizontal like a quarter to three, by orphan_account, 8.7k words, E. The worst part is that Louis just wants to get really rough with him. He’s wanted it right from the start, and it doesn’t make sense, because Harry’s always been so gentle and understanding and sweet, and yet all Louis wants to do is fuck him up. (stumbling together into some bdsm dynamics)

into another (another) serotonin overflow, by mercutionotromeo, 11k words, E. Harry wants this year to be different - wants it to be the year that he finally gets over this stupid crush. He’s going to uni, he needs to decide what he wants to do with his life. Instead, he’s deciding what he wants to do to Louis Tomlinson (this is so hot and sweet all at once, lots of kinks explored)

sweet harmony series, by colourexplosion, 12k words, E (needs ao3 account). louis leaves his laptop open on his bunk. harry finds it. and his porn. (more desperation and exploration of pee kink, yer welcome!)

Make a Dime Go One Hundred, by screwstyles, 17.8k words, E. “Hey, Haz,” he says, encouraged in equal parts by the weed and the cocoon they seem to have created around themselves. “Do you think you could trust anyone enough to have full control over you?” he asks into the night, hoping his sentence won’t break their bubble. It doesn’t, if the way Harry’s eyes meet his is any indication. (Harry volunteers to help Louis experiment with bondage. Things don’t go exactly to plan)

Make Tea, Not War, by adventuring and howdoyouwhisk, 20k words, M. “Hopeless, hopeless flatmate. Would you rather be with one of these guys?”“ Nope!” (Louis attempts to become a better flatmate, much to Harry’s dismay)

precious little thing, by mercutionotromeo, 21k words, E. There’s a slow, steady inhale, and a low voice purrs, “Hi, sexy.” Jesus - this guy has barely said two words, and both of them have made Harry’s cock twitch in his jeans. (god, I am such a sucker for the phone sex operator trope, you don’t even know, and this is one of the best…multiple kinks explored, too)

Come Out and Play, by dinosaursmate, 29k words, E. Harry smiled softly. “Say it, Lou.” “I have this fantasy,” he repeated. “Of… all five of us.” “All five of us,” Harry exclaimed. “Gosh.” Or Harry and Louis discover a new kink in their relationship, and it brings all the boys closer than they could have ever imagined. (I hope people read the poly fest…some great works in there!!)

we’re still going, eight in the morning, by noelgallagher and yoursongonmyheart, 31k words, E. It takes Harry about two weeks to notice. It takes that long because he’s busy in the mornings. While he’s aware of his surroundings, most of his focus is on the flat boxes carefully piled in the boot of his Range Rover. (where Harry’s a baker and Louis’s a DJ, and kinks are explored remotely)

Small Doses series, by QuickedWeen, 45k words, E. Louis and Harry continue to clash all while Harry is trying to move his way up the ranks in Manchester’s amateur boxing circuit, but they can’t seem to stay away from each other. (lots of kinks explored here)

#fic rec #authors with various pairings even!#i gotta get my bookmarks in better shape still #i have two months left lmao

Looking for RPs to help me through quarantine-related boredom! [MxM]

Hello lovely person reading this!

Due to the virus quarantine I suddenly find myself with a lot of extra time on my hand and what better way to spend that time than by roleplaying? I'm really looking for something more fast-paced at the moment, especially since I'm stuck at home with nothing to do. I'll go into just exactly what I'm looking to RP, but first of all, a little about me:

I'm female, 21+ and my time zone is GMT+1. I'm an experienced writer and roleplayer of 10+ years. I exclusively write in 3rd person/past tense and would prefer for you to do the same.

English isn't my first language but I'm pretty comfortable with it and I always try to keep mistakes to a minimum. Despite that, I hope you will excuse the occasional mistake! I would really prefer for you to have good spelling/grammar as well, but of course I'm not super pedantic about it and don't mind typos from time to time. Nobody's perfect, after all!

I'm normally not super available due to real-life obligations but because I can't go to work and uni at the moment I have a *lot* of extra time to spend on roleplaying so while I usually prefer slower-paced RPs (think something between one reply per day to once every couple of days) at the moment I'm mostly looking for a more 'rapid-fire' one, so similar time zones would be great but aren't a must.

I'm a literate RPer who can write posts up to around 1,500 words if this is what my partner prefers but since I'm looking for a fast-paced RP at the moment I would prefer to stick to shorter posts. I'm fine with any length, as long as your replies aren't just one-liners.

Due to the whole quarantine situation I'm fine with doing a short-term RP, although I usually prefer having long-term partners!

I love chatting OOC, not only to discuss plot-related stuff but also to get to know who I am RPing with but it's not mandatory and if you'd rather not that's A-okay!

I prefer character-focused RPs, I'm not too good at writing action scenes and I tend to get bored of those rather quickly. I'd rather concentrate on my character's feelings and his interactions with your character and focus on exploring their dynamic.

I prefer MxM pairings. I'm fine with smut but it's not a must and we can fade to black. My characters tend to be switches who mainly top but if they do bottom they're more along the lines of "power bottoms". In any case, they won't just lie there and need your character to do all the work for them.

I love conflict/tension in my RPs and I also love exploring more "philosophical" themes in them. Angst, Hurt & Comfort and similar genres are absolutely welcome as well!

Now, let's go to what I'm craving the most right now:

I would very much like a RP that focuses on a (consensual) Dom/Sub relationship. I would like to play the dominant character for this one.

This can involve a lot of smut (but doesn't have to!) but ideally I would really like to also explore the non-sexual aspects of the dynamic between our characters.

I would say most of my limits are the "normal" ones you usually see, and I don't think I'm super kinky (I would rather not include too many "out there" ones) but we can discuss more in detail in private.

Some dynamics I enjoy (none of these are a must):

the sub being rather shy/timid

the sub being physically stronger/bigger than the dom

the dom being a little uncertain of what he wants in the beginning/needing to find himself as a dom

Other ideas I'd like to explore:

Soulmates:

I love exploring soulmate AUs, I'm a sucker for all variations of this trope but I've been thinking about an idea for a society that places each member of a bonded pair in one of two categories, and members of one category are treated as lesser in society/expected to serve their other half. For this I would love to explore our characters maybe fighting against such expectations in society but I'm open to other ideas as well!

Royal x Servant, Royal x Knight:

Especially if the characters have known each other since childhood or combined with the soulmate trope! I really enjoy the idea of "devotion", of one character swearing to serve another for the rest of his life.

Androids:

I really love exploring the morality of androids/AI and what makes something sentient. This can be based on established media (e.g. Isaac Asimov, Detroit: Become Human), but doesn't have to be. I do have an idea for this one (would be an Android x Android pairing) but I'd be open for other ideas as well.

Escaped slave:

This has been an idea I've had for a long time. Your character would be an escaped slave (or maybe a slave my character somehow came into possession of) and my character would be an abolitionist who is against slavery and tries to help your character heal. This would be more hurt/comfort-focused.

I would prefer not to RP anything involving child abuse, underage characters in sexual situations, incest and similar themes. (I'm fine with these things being part of your character's back story and your character dealing with the after-effects of them but I don't want to actively RP them!).

I'm also exclusively looking for MxM pairings, so please don't contact me if you're looking for someone to RP a MxF plot with! And please be at least 18+. I don't feel comfortable RPing with anyone younger, even if the RP doesn't have any smut in it

Fandoms: Harry Potter, Supernatural, Dragon Age, Detroit: Become Human, Vampires: the Masquerade, Merlin (BBC), Kuroshitsuji, Hannibal, DC/Batman, Joker

At the moment I'm also really into RPing as the Joker so it would be cool to play him against someone else! (Of course I'm also completely open to playing OCs or other canon characters)

Other pairings: Elder Vampire x Fledgling Vampire Vampire x Human Vampire x Human Servant Human x Demon Hero x Villain Villain x Civilian Mafia Boss x Mafioso working for him Mafioso x Civilian ... (Make a suggestion!)

I would prefer for you to already have a plot in mind (or at least a vague idea of what you want to roleplay) before contacting me!

Thank you for reading all of this! Have a great day & stay safe and healthy!

Looking for RP to help me through the quarantine! [MxM]

Hello lovely person reading this!

I'm female, 21+ and my time zone is GMT+1. I'm an experienced writer and roleplayer of 10+ years. I exclusively write in 3rd person/past tense and would prefer for you to do the same.

I'm a literate RPer who can write posts up to around 1,500 words if this is what my partner prefers but since I'm looking for a fast-paced RP at the moment. I would prefer to stick to shorter posts. I'm fine with any length, as long as your replies aren't just one-liners.

Due to the whole quarantine situation I'm fine with doing a short-term RP, although I usually prefer having long-term partners!

I love chatting OOC, not only to discuss plot-related stuff but also to get to know who I am RPing with but it's not mandatory and if you'd rather not that's A-okay!

I love conflict/tension in my RPs and I also love exploring more "philosophical" themes in them. Angst, Hurt & Comfort and similar genres are absolutely welcome as well!

Now, let's go to what I'm craving the most right now:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/7402624

Mother Deer by GhostofBambi [Rated T]

Euphemia Potter is the unequivocal boss of everyone, including and most especially her son, and if the sweet, bright-eyed redhead who frequents her coffee shop doesn't know that yet, she's about to find out.

Polyjuiced by ladyoftheknightley [Rated T]

Salmon Fishing in the Olympics by GhostofBambi [Rated T]

Modern Era AU: When Lily Evans seeks assistance from James Potter to avoid the attentions of a suitor who just won't take no for an answer, she accidentally lands them both on the front page of every gossip magazine in Britain.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/11393601

Cat in a Fifth Floor Flat by GhostofBambi [Rated T]

Modern Era AU. When Remus Lupin moves out and Lily Evans moves in, James Potter finds himself instantly drawn to his beautiful new neighbour. Little does he know that a mysterious force of nature is secretly pulling the strings.

we could be gigantic by elanev91 [Rated T]

Swipe Right, Swing Left by ShadowRose997 [Rated T]

The unspoken rule of using dating apps in D.C. is that you always start with where you work. James Potter, it seems, never picked up on that one.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16743499

Erotic Porridge by elanev91 [Rated T]

Euphemia Potter thinks her doctor needs to go on a date with her son. This story is so named because I saw it somewhere, could not stop laughing, and my best friend professor-riddikulus hates it so much that I just had to.

Orange Cardamom by ShadowRose997 [Rated T]

James may not believe in love at first sight, but he's beginning to think there may be some merit in love at first sip.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16412123

Too Fic Too Furious by elanev91 [Rated T]

The M25 needs to undergo massive emergency repairs and the entire motorway has been shut down for, well, probably the rest of eternity. Lily Evans was foolish enough to think she could make it through before the traffic properly started. She's absolutely dying of boredom when she spots the guy in the car opposite.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/14990837

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15368979

Sing A Reckless Serenade by twilightstargazer [Rated T]

“What kind of work thing?” James asks, warily. Lily takes a breath. It seemed like a brilliant idea last night, when she was more than three drinks under, but now in the light of day it just seems… pathetic. Still though, she needs help, and needs it soon, so she finds herself blurting out: “I need you to fake date me for a week.”

Sixty-Nine, Nice by a_collection_of_nonsense [Rated T]

In which James Potter and Lily Evans are in a math course together and have absolutely no chill.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15663510

#Jily by Chie (Chierafied) [Rated G]

Twitter seemed awash with the hashtag Jily. Lily blinked at in confusion, until she realised it was one of those silly couple monikers people had bestowed on her and Potter. …Though there was a small dissenting crowd following a tweet from Potter’s bandmate Sirius Black: Jily? Hah! More like LAMES.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/7723105

Upside Down by Bob_The_Other_Zombie [Rated G]

Lily’s pop star career seems to be hitting a rut, until her publicity team comes up with the perfect plan- a fake relationship with James Potter, frontman of the hot new boyband The Marauders. Lily’s less than enthused- last time she and James were in the same room together, there was vomit involved, all over her nicest pair of shoes. After a few dates, however, lines begin to blur, and suddenly things between them don’t seem to be just PR anymore...

https://archiveofourown.org/works/7500300

Sweet Tooth by mylifeissocoollike [Rated T]

Lily and James were best friends growing up, but when he moved away and they drifted apart they thought that would be the end of their friendship. But fate has a funny way of working out, and Lily can’t keep herself away from the brownies in the grocery store.

“Where are you from?” A CCK Trilogy

This is the question I get most asked whenever I move to a new country.

I mean, I guess it’s fair.

I move to a lot of non-Asian countries like Australia, the United States, Switzerland and Germany so I don’t look like the majority of the population.

(Notice that I used the term “the majority” and not “local people” taking into consideration that those who hold citizenship in the aforementioned countries are very diverse and do not belong to one particular racial ethnicity, you sensitive jerks.)

Generally when you see me, you will probably refer to my specific ethnicity as Asian.

Which is true.

I am Asian

I rock the black hair, brown eyes, stumpy 160cm height all the freakishly tall Western guys go for.

I also don’t catch heat stroke and rarely get sunburns. (Chargers sold separately.)

...just don’t feed me past midnight...

(oh look, it’s me in the morning)

Jokes aside though,

For a CCK, this is actually a really good question.

Where do I really come from?

Okay that was my last one I promise.

According to my passport, I’m Indonesian by citizenship.

I guess you can say I look Indonesian but I’m not really sure. It’s kind of debatable now. Some say I do, others think I’m a halfie. I just go with “Asian”. It’s the safest answer.

Better than fixating on looks, however, one might question whether or not a person can be identified as truly being a citizen of his or her birth country if that person has grown up outside of his or her “home country” for the majority of his or her life.

Firstly, I’m going to open up with a hashtag called #CCKProblems because whether you’re a #TCK or all the other colours of the #CCK rainbow, you will always struggle with this fact.

Many CCKs (TCKs included) spend most of their life growing up outside of their “home country”.

This is the reality.

In my case, I spent 12 years of my life consistently in Indonesia and the next 19 years moving around different countries. I would also spend a duration of 1 to 4 years in each country before I would move again.

The only other time I have moved back to live in Indonesia was after I graduated my Bachelor Degree. I even ended up moving to Bali instead of Jakarta because I couldn’t managed the “culture shock” upon coming “home” again. I had to resettle myself in an environment that was still somewhat more Western than Asian.

Crazy isn’t it? The thought of experiencing culture shock when you go back to your own home country.

This is what it feels like...

It’s also pretty obvious by the way, to the Indonesians. I wasn’t automatically welcomed with open arms back to my country. In fact, when I first moved to Bali, I found that even the local Indonesian people I worked with (as friendly and hospitable as they were), still had a hard time relating to me or figuring out where I belonged. Was I foreigner or local?

For a long time, I, like any other Western person, was called “Bule” which translates to...well it translates to “White person”. YesI know that’s mind blowingly racist but we say it to mean “Westernized Foreigner”. Hey! I didn’t make up this word!

I obviously felt a little taken back. Why would they call me that?

Well...easy. Because it was clear as glass just how Westernized I am compared to the ones who spent their entire lives in Indonesia.

Sure I still speak fluent Indonesian, but they don’t categorize me into the same “box”.

Even after settling in there for 2 years, learning some Balinese and having improved my Indonesian again, I was still in limbo. They recognized me as someone in between not being a local and not being a foreigner. I was that Bule Indonesian. The other name they called me was “Cinta Laura” who was this Miley Cyrus like Indonesian Aussie celebrity who is a CCK like me. I realized that that’s how they could make sense of who I am.

And I guess I was kind of “ok” with that.

Another reason why people in my own “homeland” might not consider me a true “local” is because I don’t have an Indonesian accent.

My accent is some weird mix of Australian/American which gets decided on the spot depending on whom I am speaking with and what accent they have.

Story time!

The first time I worked in Bali, I was showing around this couple, giving them a tour inspection at the hotel I was working at at the time. They were an awesome couple. Aussies. Ten minutes into the tour, the man had to stop me. I think he was baffled for like 10 minutes because the next thing that came out of his mouth was...

“I’m sorry. I have to stop you for a moment. Your English is FANTASTIC! How did you learn to speak to well?”

This is not the first time I get this question by the way.

I even have an outside and inside facial expression as a response.

Here is my outside face....

Here is my inside face....

This is only one example of many.

So when we go back to the question...

Where am I from?

Well, most days I just to cut to the chase.

“I’m from Indonesia,” you will usually hear me say, “but I was raised in Australia.”

This is generally the reply I get, “Wow! Australia! That’s really cool! I’ve always wanted to see Australia!”

For some weird reason, though, they never bring up Indonesia unless, of course, they’ve been there before.

The ones who have would say something like, “Awesome! I’ve been there!”

“Bali?” I would automatically ask. But of course it’s Bali. Where else in Indonesia would they go to?

But anyway, here’s the exciting twist.

I also wasn’t “raised” in Australia...

The truth is, I spent the longest years of my life “growing up” in Melbourne and two years in my late 20s in Perth.

I figured that it was easier to choose Australia because the Australian culture is one I’ve learned the most about and am the most familiar with out of all the other cultures I’ve absorbed in my years of moving.

Also, when I said “growing up” I meant spending 9 out of those 19 years in the Land Down Under learning to become a functioning human being.

So what happened in between the 10 years that I wasn’t in Australia?

Well, after years of reciting the same story over and over again, editing my experiences through those years, I imagine I have become quite a storyteller.

Today, I have condensed my timeline down to the following paragraph...

I grew up in the States, Australia, Indonesia, Switzerland and Germany. I originally left home when I was 12 because of political unrest in Indonesia at the time and had to move unexpectedly to the States for the next two and a half years. I completed middle school in San Francisco and then continue on to a boarding school in Australia. Little did I know that that would be the first out of three moves between Indonesia and Australia for the next fourteen years of my life. I only lasted a year and a half in boarding school before I begged to go home to complete high school in Indonesia. After high school, I realized my roots no longer served me in Jakarta and I applied to return to Australia do my bachelor’s degree. I spent most of my full-time work in Bali after graduating Uni the first time (which, I have to admit was pretty awesome) and after nearly 3 years in Bali, I returned to Australia once again to do an MBA degree (which, by the way, was completely unexpected considering it was my only application to do an MBA, the other applications were to go to Hospitality School). I graduated 2015 from my Master Degree and returned to Bali for a year after that. Unfortunately, that was also the year life threw a massive curve ball at me and my entire family, and after 2016, I decide to run off to Switzerland to try to get my life back together and (finally) specialize in hospitality. That was two years ago. I thought I would go back to Indonesia after that but I realized I could no longer fit in back “home”. Then, life threw me on another course and routed me towards Germany. And ...here I am today.

I’m really grateful to have lived such a wholesome life and to be able to travel and live in so many different parts of the world. Not many people get to live and tell such stories about their own lives and for that I am grateful.

So in retrospect, maybe being Indonesian without being too Indonesian isn’t such a bad thing. I was born to represent my birth country but having a Western side also helps me bridge out to the rest of the world. In that sense, I am really lucky to be able to see the world from so many points of view.

Hey T it's Betty! flannelpunkcalum is a side blog so this is how i have to live. All you really need to know about me is that i impulse bought an entire chocolate cake this afternoon. and uh... obviously he's my husband but you WOULD be really cute with cal like he'd think you were so cute and funny and photogenic and you're so majestic and tall... sexy resting bitch face couple... if i can't have him i'd like you to have him. backup is mikey bc he's sweet and down to earth and your dogs match!

(i’m tagging your blog so this is easier for u to find ur welcome @flannelpunkcalum) BETTY! LOVE OF MY LIFE! MY ANGEL! i wish you’d shipped me with yourself bc then we could be hashtag shishter married sobs in gay

-ship: CALUM! i’ve got a lil college!calum blurb cooked up just for you ;) so let’s say you and cal were assigned lab partners for chem lab your first year of uni, and we all know how clumsy this kiddo is so he probably broke like seventeen stirring rods during a distillation (which shouldn’t even be possible, because why the fuck would you need a stirring rod for distillation? ask your dumbass lab partner cal) and you’d be 100% over his shit so you’d just take over but the kid’s too cute to really be mad at, especially when he’s pouting out an apology at you, so you just shoo him away to go sit at a stool as far away from the experiment as possible, and by the end of the lab you’ve come to terms with the fact that you’re just gonna be doing all the experiments for the rest of the semester and it’s fine, everything’s fine, you just have to do the work meant for two people in under 2 hours while the pretty boy just sits on that damn stool impatiently waiting for lab to be over so he can go to practice. but at the end of lab as you’re walking away you hear some footsteps behind you and a hey, wait, i know i’m not the greatest at this and i really appreciate how you’re doing this so would you maybe be down for coffee? like now? and that’s the beginning of your weekly coffee dates that somehow turn into study hangouts in the library at 3am while the both of you cram for your micro midterms, and somewhere between studying together and doing all his lab work for him the two of you become friends. he starts inviting you to parties and you start having him over for movie nights and people start forgetting there was ever a time the two of you weren’t best friends and spending every second together. something about you just feels right to calum and even though he once tried to use the wrong end of a scalpel during a dissection you can’t really imagine not having this dumb boy over at all times of the day. but that was before he joined that stupid frat. once he gets past initiation and he’s a full brother, he starts going to parties by himself and you start reviewing your flashcards alone, and the two of you are still friends, of course, but you both just have different lives, you know? (at least, that’s what you tell the nosy people who ask.) but it’s not until he’s searching for your laughter in the corners of every party that he realizes how he feels about you, and why he’s been feeling so empty these days even though he’s been trying to fill it with amsterdam and suddenly he’s drunkenly pounding at your door at two in the morning and you’re hissing at him to shut up, my roommates are fucking asleep calum are you insane? you go ghost for like three months and then pull this shit? and his drunk ass just stares at you, taking in your sleep mussed hair and pissed off eyes and those pajamas he got you for christmas and all he wants is you and before he can stop himself he slurs out a look, i’m sorry for everything and i know i’m a fuckin mess and you deserve so much better than this but mate, can i please just fuckin kiss you? and you just stare at him because of course he would do this, of course he’d tell you he feels the same right when you’re getting over him and you want to smack him for being such an idiot but for now you settle for grabbing him by his dumb shoulders and kissing him before mumbling about how you’re lucky you’re cute as shit and i like you or else i’d be murdering you right now and i’m so sorry for how long this is and i know it’s shitty and a mess but you know what that’s what my life has become

-song: you’re gonna hate me for this but left right - yg

-compliment: okay betty FULL HOMO you’re one of my favorite human beings ever and you’re so cute and snarky and witty and you write so well and you’re gorgeous and wOW i love you

#flannelpunkcalum #answered #the blurb is so long and confusing i'm so sorry

There was too much to answer, so I just picked a couple of questions. -The Friends Anon

on a scale of 1-10, how excited are you about life right now? 7. My life is pretty open-ended and busy right now. It is daunting but in the best way.

describe yourself in a hashtag? #sleepy

what’s one thing people don’t know about you? I’m on tumblr aklsdjdsf

what’s your favorite time of day? The morning because I have the whole day in front of me.

dream country to visit? Italy or Greece!

heels or flats/sneakers? Flats, but I appreciate heels.

what’s one ingredient you put in everything? Not for everything, but I cook with green onions A LOT.

window or aisle seat? Aisle. I hate asking people to move to go to the bathroom.

what’s your current tv obsession? I’m not really obsessed with anything right now, but omg I love that you picked HIMYM. That was my comfort show for the longest time. Do you like the ending? I liked the ending. I know others didn’t, but I always it was so hopeful.

most adventurous thing you’ve ever done in your life? I got chased by wild monkeys once. And sometimes I get to the airport super late, so it becomes a race against the clock.

favorite piece of clothing you own? I have this maroon cotton dress and I look so good in it. It is also great for both casual and professional settings. It is perfect and I hate that it is pilling ☹

Omg I admire how you look at life (or what it sounds like from your first answer and 4) 🥰

#sleepy is a good one shsjs

Fun fact my dad is in Italy right now and he asked if I wanted to go but he said there’s no beach and I didn’t wanna miss uni if there wasn’t a beach…. guess where he is? At the beach 🥲 good for him………. And Greece 😭 <333 I’ve been there once but we were mainly at the hotel but the hotel was great sgsjs I’d love to see more of the country too tho!

I also appreciate some good heels 😌

*sticks fingers in my ear* lalalalala I haven’t finished watching himym sgsksjs I mean you didn’t spoil anything tho so it’s okay. It used to be on tv aaaall the time when I was younger but I was just a lil bit tooo young to appreciate it or I was too young period lol. And I think I’ve actually seen some of the last episodes and I know who the mother is and who is together at the end (or I think I know it). But yeah I just remembered snippets of the show but I knew I was gonna like it when I properly watched it and yeah it is really nostalgic and I’ve really enjoyed watching it the past few months <3 I think I just finished season 6

CHASED BY WILD MONKEYS LMAO WHAT SGSKSJSJMS😭😭 that does sound very adventurous lmao. And lmao why does the airport thing sound kind of nice 💀 but yeah somehow it sounds adventurous rather than stressful (probably wouldn’t be saying that if I was in the situation tho)

The dress sounds nice! I hope you find an even better replacement ☹️ or maybe you can still somehow save it 🤞🏼 but ahh I’ve been looking for a dress like that all my life sgsjs need to start looking more

UC 48.9 - Bristol vs Queen’s, Belfast

The Humans of New York Facebook page is one of the only things on the internet that can so quickly and consistently provoke deep emotion in me. The interviewer somehow manages to get people to reveal their most private hopes and dreams to him, a complete and utter stranger. And then, with a candid photograph and a couple of transcribed paragraphs, these are shared with millions more.

Remarkably, in a world where we are increasingly unwilling to show our true selves on social media, and instead create carefully curated phantom versions of our lives for our friends to envy and admire, this page manages to showcase its subjects at their most vulnerable, and totally unfiltered. It shines a light on the hidden lives we all lead, but if you read the comments, there are always people who seem to have forgotten the previous, amazing posts, people who instead seem to think that the person in this particular picture is the single most incredible and interesting person in the world, above all others.

The comments are all along the same lines - ‘OMG you should totally write a book!’, ‘I can’t wait for the HBO series about your life!!’ - and they all miss the point of the page. Yes, this person has lived a fascinating life, but so have all the other people in the other photos. If everyone in a Humans of New York post wrote a book we’d run out of library space - and most of the books would probably be crap because while these people might be good at baring their emotional souls they’re probably rubbish at writing books.

A level up from this is the clamour for any old sod on a reality show or talent contest to ‘get their own show’. Everyone who’s been on Love Island in the past three years has been slated to host a retail development show on ITV 2 at some point. Sometimes they get the show - Nadia from Bakeoff and Scarlett from Gogglebox to come to mind. And this isn’t to say they can’t be good when they do get the opportunity, but the fact their are so many is symptomatic of our attention-hungry culture that demands brand recognition over originality. Its the same reason so many sequels and remakes get made, despite the surplus of great ideas that can’t get funding.

So you’ll forgive me for being a little bit skeptical of the program which preceded University Challenge tonight - Monkman and Seagull’s Genius Guide to Britain - starring two contestants from the 2016-17 series (I’ll let you figure out which two). They’d met in the semi-final, which had been described as the most anticipated match in UC History (and not just by me), before Monkman’s Wolfson College lost to Balliol in the final. The pair were a huge hit on social media (Monkman near-effortlessly, Seagull partly through doggedly tweeting everyone on the UC hashtag). Inevitably there were plenty of calls for the pair to front their own science show, and with a few books and radio specials out in the intervening years, the internet has finally been granted its wish.

With my cynical hat on I was prepared to be disappointed by what was surely just a rushed attempt to capitalise on a perceived hunger within the millennial demographic. But its hard to stay cynical when faced with Bobby Seagull and Eric Monkman. The unabashed enthusiasm they both have when learning about such idiosyncratic things as lawnmowers is infectious, and they’re charming and hilarious. Whether its discussing the accents of Greek frogs or saying hello to a troop of ducklings on the side of the road, the pair of intellectuals are eminently watchable, and the grins that are plastered across their faces burst out of the screen and onto your own.

And part of what makes them so good at this is what made them so good at University Challenge - they know a bunch of stuff, and have an unquenchable thirst to learn a bunch more (of course the Challenge isn’t just about knowing things, but about spotting the connections between them). Its part of what makes a show about recalling random facts inherently enjoyable. Because we constantly have google at our fingertips, knowledge isn’t as important as it used to be for someone to make their way in the world, so there’s something marvelous about people reveling in curiosity for its own sake. And come to think of it, this is why Nadia’s baking show has been a hit too, people like watching people who have a real passion for the thing they’re talking about, so maybe I’ve been chatting a load of rubbish vis-a-vis the recruitment techniques of network television. Anyway, I don’t know if that sounds more pretentious or nonsensical, but I’ve rambled on for far too long so should probably get to tonights episode.

Queen’s, Belfast and Bristol are two of the teams who have made the most quarter final appearances without ever making it to the semis (Queen’s with three and Bristol six). Only one of them will have the chance to add to that tally after this evening’s game. These stats only relate to the Paxman Era of course, and Queen’s did in fact win the trophy in 1980, beating my beloved Edinburgh in the final. Queen’s have not one, but two students working towards PhDs in Exoplanet Atmospheres (I don’t think that phrase should really be capitalised but I think it deserves it).

I’d already been prepping a paragraph on the subject before the second introduction, but apparently doctorates in Exoplanet Atmospheres are like buses. Their Captain Merritt had only gone along to see if she could beat her now-teammate Hooton, which she must have done since she’s the one in charge (I guess you could say she got there on her own Merritt... This joke would be better if I hadn’t already mentioned her name, but what else could I do?)

To make things even more surreal, there is an early starter question on exoplanets, which Hooton gets, much to his relief after a few seconds of looking worried as he imagined the hundreds of tweets that there would have been if he’d missed it.

Basu got Bristol on the board with two starters in a row, and Le Maistre chances her luck on one of the bonuses. Asked for two names which differ by one letter, they gave Toto and Togo, rather than Tojo. Paxman asked if that was what she’d meant, and she confidently announced yes. She backed down a bit when questioned, so he didn’t give her the points, but Our Jez is getting soft in his old age so I think if she’d doubled down on the deceit then she might have gotten a five point bonus for her troubles.

Bristol then committed a series of faux-pas (which had incidentally been the answer to the picture question on French definitions for loan phrases) in the music round when they gave guesses of 1971 and 1991 when they’d been explicitly warned that all of the answers would be prime numbers. How it could have slipped all of their minds that 11 times 181 is 1991 I don’t know (and don’t get me started on the myriad of factors for 1971).

The sides traded starters back and forth, but neither could open up a big gap at any point, meaning that a quick streak from either table would likely result in victory. Unfortunately, extended and unsuccessful conferring meant that the scores remained low and tight, like a well drilled baritone a Capella group.

The second picture round went to Queen’s, and they took the next starter as well to level the scores at 110 each with only a few minutes to play. Bristol seized back the initiative, with twenty five points in a row (over two sets of questions), but negged on the next one, leaving the door wide open for Queen’s to equalise again. Unfortunately, Queen’s Breen buzzed in immediately without waiting for the end of the question (though I don’t know whether it would have helped him) and hilariously said Voltaire instead of Volta (which turned out to be wrong anyway. If it hadn’t been then this may have been more tragic). Still, there was all to play for coming into the final starter, which Basu took for Bristol to seal the win.

Final Score: Queen’s, Belfast 110 - 140 Bristol

A low-scoring, but entertaining game. Well done to both teams.Join me next week when we will see the first ever French institution appear on University Challenge (okay, they’re from the Uni of London and just based in Paris, but still)
