Ballin' [I'm serious] (Ace & OC) [Platonic]

The gist is that valencia was tricked into becoming a 'ball' of sorts for the basketball club, since he/she's super small it's all in good fun. Valencia, while (obviously) uncomfortable at first, turns out to actually enjoy it

"Ace, you ASS!" The magicless human of NRC hisses towards his friend, an equally troublesome teenager. "You're just gonna LEAVE me?! With FLOYD?!?"

"Listen, prefect. I love you very much-"

"BULLSHIT-" The defeated prefect screams in retaliation.

"And I want you to know that from the bottom of my heart, I apologize." Ace clasps his hands together with a grin on his face, glinting in clear amusement. "But this is for the good of our friendship."

"Shrimpy, you're so mean~ I mean, we're both here out to have fun and you're just gonna say that~?" Speaking of the devil.

"No, wait, Floyd- FLOYD!"

"Slam- DUNK!"

BAM! The prefect is ceremoniously dunked into the basketball hoop and everybody, even Jamil cheered on as the prefect lays flat on the cushioned floor, breathless.

Ace, ever the betrayer, stands over the prefect, tied up hair blocking the light from shining directly into her eyes.

"See, it wasn't that bad, right- AH!" He finds himself dragged down to the prefect's level, teeth grinding against teeth and all that.

"Listen, Acey-kins. I'll make damn sure Riddle finds out what you did yesterday, 'kay babe?" Valencia finishes with a smile of promise. She then stands up and runs towards the door, going to do as promised.

"Hey, the ball's running away!" Ace shouts with a smirk. That ass.

"That's not how it works." Jamil replies, easily blocking the door out. "Sorry, prefect, but you'll have to be game for now."

"What-! Ah, come on!"

A plan fallen completely into ruins, but from the smile that smirches the prefect's face, one wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

*

"Dude, it wasn't that bad, right?" Ace chuckles sheepishly, even as the now injured prefect sits across from him, bandaged from head to toe. "Okay, it's bad, yea."

"In my defense, I did not know you were going to THROW ME!" Valencia's voice rises in volume as Ace flinches. "Really, you dickhead, God."

She snorts, moving to tussle his hair. "You're gonna be takin' care of me from now on 'till I get better, yeah?"

"Yeah, yeah... 'm sorry."

"What was that? Couldn't hear you over that guilt-ridden voice there, Acey-kins."

"I'm... sorry. I didn't mean to actually hurt you like that." The boy winces.

"Yeah, I know. I just wanted to hear you say 'yer sorry, 's all, but that means..." The prefect pinches Ace's nose. "You'll be helpin' me around Ramshackle, yeah? These floors don't clean themselves, you know..."

"Yeah, I know, I know."

"...hey. I mean it. No hard feelings, Ace. I know ya didn't mean it."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"...thanks."

"Sure. Acehat."

"Wha- dude! We had a vibe going on and everything!"

"Did we~?"

"You ass!"

as a shadow 05 enjoyer i can understand where people are coming from when they say its weird theyre doing stuff with shadows backstory again when the whole point of shth's ending is that we're done constantly talking about The Shadow Lore and shadow is gonna try to move on from all that now . but . this isnt the early 2000s where theyre frequently bringing up shadows backstory and not letting him have stories unrelated to that stuff . they went "okay we're done talking about that for now" at the end of shth and really Havent talked about it much since then. so its fine if people disagree with me on this but i dont really mind that theyre bringing it up again for one game after its been so long since they last did a story about shadows past

They noted this on her chart: 8:38 A.M. After which, according to their records, Annie lapsed back into her impenetrable isolation and did not utter another word. The doctor on call noted this on her chart:

“May have been responding to auditory hallucination.”

Dean is such a paradox for me because on the one hand, I have been actively triggered by him in the show, there are moments where, intentionally or not, the writers managed to create a portrayal of manipulation and abuse and control issues that it sets off actual alarms for me. And on the other hand, I would not have him any other way. There is something — not comforting, that’s too soft a word — about knowing where Dean’s actions stem from, having seen and learned all that we do about his childhood neglect and parentification and the trauma he goes through repeatedly in the show, and that he doesn’t come out clean. He comes out a goddamn mess who ends up hurting the people around him in reaction to his own pain!

There’s a reality there that’s. Almost nice, actually. Distressing to watch, but it is a fucking mess, it’s a good mess! He’s got zero healthy coping skills and a healthy relationship with say, his brother, is terrifying because it leaves him open to abandonment!

I’m not sure I’m wording this correctly. There is a way to be a good abuse victim. Take the pain, martyr yourself on it, and then, even if you have no support or idea how to, then you have to become a Good Person who never hurts anyone the way you have been learning to your entire life. Simply toss everything that shaped you out the door and emerge a saint with a tragic backstory. And Dean is not that. And that’s so fucking good. Everything that he has gone through continues to effect the way he treats the people around him, and he can’t fight the behaviors he might recognize as harmful because he also sees them as protecting him (or protecting Sam by keeping Sam with him.)

And sometimes, idk. It feels good to see a guy who didn’t heal the “right way.” Who mostly didn’t heal at all, just keeps the wound open because it’s easier that way.

Enjoy this spooky Na'vi audio story I wrote for a Halloween-themed listening practice session on Kelutral! Transcription below the cut for those who want to read along. I'll also be adding the English translation in a reblog (adding that separately so that those who want to practice—I know there's at least a few of you out there hrh—can read along with the written Na'vi without accidentally "cheating" by looking at the English 😉)

Happy 1 year anniversary of me watching episode 26 of The Blood of Youth and having a breakdown about it :) Have a ficlet :)

Lei Wujie’s grief is loud. Loud denial and loud anger and loud tears. Loud cracks as his knees hit the stone floor, shaking with it.

Sikong Qianluo’s grief is deep. It takes a long time to sink in, and a long time to emerge from. Sobs pulling themselves up from the centre of her heart.

Ye Ruoyi’s grief is private. Hiding away in corners, turning her face away when tears come unbidden, excusing herself from company.

Xiao Se’s grief… Xiao Se doesn’t grieve. He buries it deep within himself. He has too much work to do. He needs to be strong.

Tang Lian steps into the Snowfall Villa and smiles.

Lei Wujie’s joy is loud. Loud surprise and loud disbelief and loud delight. Loud steps as he runs towards da-shixiong and pulls him into a tight embrace.

Sikong Qianluo’s joy is deep. It takes time to sink in, but then she smiles properly for the first time in months.

Ye Ruoyi’s joy is private. A smile to herself as she watches her friends wrap their arms around da-shixiong.

Xiao Se’s joy… Xiao Se’s joy…

Xiao Se is shaking. He can’t, he can’t, he can’t stand. He can’t smile. He can’t breathe.

No one notices. Why would they? Why should they? Tang Lian is here. Da-shixiong is here.

He should be relieved. Shouldn’t he be relieved? Da-shixiong is here. Da-shixiong is alive.

The tremors increase. He stares at his hand, prickling with pins and needles, as it knocks over his cup on the table. The liquid flows out. He watches it as it trails over the table. He can’t not watch it. He can’t move. His eyes start to blur. There’s a fist punched deep inside his chest, squeezing around his heart.

Tang Lian is alive. Why does Xiao Se feel like he’s falling apart?

He was strong. He had to be strong. He had lost his mother and he had lost his uncle and he had lost his martial arts and his title and his name and his way of life. He lived through it and he lived through this and he was strong. He was fine. And Tang Lian is alive. Why is he… why is he…?

He manages to jerk his hand back enough to grip the table instead of shaking. The pressure, something to hold, it helps. A little. A little, but it helps. He curls around it, a little. As if that will protect his heart, where he hurts. Where he hurts.

There are sounds, he’s distantly aware. They sound like he’s underwater. They sound like he’s been thrown from a carriage and is bleeding on the floor of the forest and his ears are ringing and he’s all alone and everything he’s ever know is gone.

The sounds are blurs and his sight is blurred and it’s wet and it’s cold and he hurts. He hurts.

“Xiao Se?” A hand on his arm and a voice that is clear through the blur. Da-shixiong. Xiao Se can’t see him. He can’t turn and look. Da-shixiong was gone and now he’s not gone and Xiao Se doesn’t, he can’t, he can’t –

He opens his mouth, he plans to say – to say something. Anything. Instead there’s just a sound. Pained. Indescribable.

An arm around his shoulders. A hand on his back. A side pressed against his. His hand being gently prised off the table and wrapped in someone else’s grasp.

“I’m sorry.” Da-shixiong’s voice pressed against his hair. “I’m sorry. I’m here.”

He’s here. Tang Lian, da-shixiong. He’s here. Xiao Se sobs, tears and gasps that are finally escaping from where he’d hidden them down months and months ago. He’d had to be strong. What else could he be? Da-shixiong was gone and who else was going to protect them?

And now da-shixiong is back, and Xiao Se can finally grieve.

Here's a quick peak of my Sparklecare self-inserts 2nd redesign! >:3 ♡ (A drawing of them before I finish their ref sheet! <3)

Awhile ago, I said I wanted to finish Nea's intro card before I posted their (now former) ref. But as you can probably guess, I never rlly finished that intro card- (╥ ╥) But I'm actually almost done w/ the new one now! I'm going to have it done in a few days, I just need to finish writing a section, and polishing a few things. So if all goes to plan, I'll be posting the ref and card soon ♡

(I'll have Nea's previous ref utc, also! ♡ :3)

[apoloniaspiegelgold]

All my life I've been told by all kinds of people that they can never really tell what I'm feeling or what's going through my mind because apparently I'm always just hiding everything behind a smile so that I've become rather unreadable. And then he just. Takes one look at me and goes 'Yeah. I know that face, oh here we go again, she's about to unleash her thoughts. She's gonna bash that theory I just showed her so hard. Where's my popcorn?' I hadn't even said anything yet and he was already laughing.

And to be honest. It's quite nice to be known, actually.

Anytime I hear CJs TME on tiktok its always the nightcore/sped up one and like, Mind sound relatively normal like I can tell its him

But like Heart sounds NOTHING like him. It doesn't even sound like CJ, like who is this man
