Jackson & Clayton Fic

(My gf's OC and my OC)

Word Count: 856

Part 1

Unedited

It’s the midst of war, and it gets harder and harder to remember when it wasn’t. Clayton has grown up on the West coast for his time being- even if he’s always cold. He lives in the second floor apartment of the tea store he inherited from his dead parents in San Francisco. He doesn’t go out much when he doesn’t have to. The ongoing chaos has definitely not been helpful for the anxiety that people give him. 

Jackson is the opposite in more ways than one. Born and raised into a filthy rich family on the upper side of the east coast. In this environment, how could it not go straight to your head? Never having to worry about being drafted because of his family’s status. But, no matter how good he gets at stealing things from his parents and others- nothing that money can buy would make up for the dysfunction. Resulting in some responses to the unhealthy environment that he is not proud of. 

Two boys who’ve lived completely different lives wouldn’t have ever thought of being in the life of the other. But, two days after his 21st birthday, Clayton knew his luck had ended when he received a thick letter in the mail. Thinking his life was over, he’d been drafted, Clayton opened the envelope with almost an adrenaline like rush. Inside of the envelope, however, was not what he’d expected. Written in dark ink, it read; 

“To the Descendant of Mr. and Mrs. Phillips, 

Prior to the death of your guardians they requested you be exempt from the draft to support in the household dealings of your Father’s Godmother and her Estate. Seeing as you are now 21, you will be travelling to East Hampton and living there within the upper class. The (Family name), will be expecting your arrival in East Hampton, NY, on the Wednesday to follow this one. 

~The (Last name), Nobility family staff.” 

In the envelope was a check for $300 and a one-way plane ticket. Clayton read over the letter again, and again, until he realized that it’s either this or be drafted into war. So, next Wednesday, Clayton would fly to New York. To his Father’s Godmother’s estate- which would just so happen to be the current estate that Jackson lives in. His grandmother was the godmother in question.

Jackson- 

In black, silk sheets, I was living my best life. I always get my best sleep after a long night. That’s what it was- a long night. Party at the house of whoever had their estate empty, blackout, lost the keys to my Audi, came home, threw up, went to sleep. All’s been quiet, but of course that didn’t last very long. Out of the blue there was a 

BANG BANG BANG on my bedroom door before it was swiftly thrown open. 

“Jackson it’s almost 2:00pm and we have a meeting with your fathers company companions in two hours-” My mother shouted, then threw my dress shoes at me, “get dressed- and please, for the LOVE will you shower? Just because you can’t pull your shit together doesn’t mean you have to look like it!” She walked out. I sat up a little too fast, but stood on wobbly legs anyways. A lovely day awaits, I'm sure. 

Clayton-

The bike was the only thing of any worth or that I would have any interest in taking and yet I haven't even been on a plane. I don't know if they let you take bikes.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with the store but what is there to do because I have a flight tomorrow. I cashed the check as soon as I even comprehend what had happened. I didn’t think they’d let me ride my bike to the airport, and that would be a long ride, but I hated to leave it in the shop.

The few other things that I have, shirts with tea stains and worn out logos and black jeans, which I wore every day would go in my old backpack. I had to convince the nice lady across the street to let me use her sewing machine to fix it so I could take it on the plane. 

The bike, I could probably sell it for $50 bucks or I could try to figure out how to take it to New York. I’m going to New York. I spent my 21st birthday selling tea on a busy street in the city and I’m going to live with some posh “Nobility” in East Hampton, wherever that is. 

Would $50 bucks be worth it? It says I’m going to “support in household dealings” but what does that even imply? What do I need to be prepared for? I know I’m not going to fit in, they probably all are old and obnoxious. I think I’m just going to figure out the Bike thing when tomorrow comes and I’m inside the airport. I feel completely unprepared and even if I was prepared I’m sure something would jump out and surprise me with something wilder than I could imagine.

THEY ARE FRIENDS

[red-moon-at-night]

After doing some research on the types of pets people had in ancient Greece, I'd like to imagine that Helen is the sort of person who has a whole menagerie of birds — and she loves each and every one of them very, very much.

It fits well with her being good at mimicry, you know. Talking and imitating and singing with her beloved birds 💜

Do people also have that horrible random moment when your brain bullies you for not knowing enough about a topic you consider yourself passionate about ?

[ganondoodle]

got this reblog on one of my posts were i talked about being anxious about the future of the zelda series after totk and-

i even went back and unblocked them just to check my own post and check twice what they meant exactly- but i still dont know how they got to these conclusions

i never said i 'want a good uwu ganondorf' (bc that would mean hes aligned with hyrule bc thats how goodness works!!!!11!1!!!), i also dont think of any of the zeldas as 'whores' (seriously, where did that come from?? neither me nor the addition of someone agreeing with me said anything like that??? did they think bc the addition called tloz misogynistic means we think zelda is a whore????? huh???)

its also funny how they say they want zelda to stay a simple fairytale rather than have 'people like me' bc .. one point i talked about in the og post was how the evil arab thing VS good white people media likes to do so much is so normalized here that its simply seen as a simple harmless fairytale trope instead of a big underlying issue in general media and the writers might not even realize it (which is worse) bc the most 'generic' appeal is to people who dont think of it as a problem in the first place, because it is so normalized

(huh, i wonder about what kind of person that part was about .. hmmmm)

(ALSO funny they mention princess hilda as nuanced villain ... like ... wow they are so nuanced about purple haired people!!- like guess why we want a nuanced/less badly/less flat written ganondorf and what he, in particular, has not in common with other villains! its not his hair color! .... or was that point supposed to mean .. look we have one female character that is a villain, its not misogynistic! idk honestly)

(and the classic, "you just call it this/dont like it bc its not what you wanted !!!!!!!2!"1!112!!")

also funny how its 'never gonna be progressive enough' like asking for the franchise to maybe put a little more thought and nuance into their white divine right vs evil desert man simulator instead of making it worse is already asking too much

(i dont know what the last point has to do with anything??)

(also yes totk is racist, like most if not all of the franchise and a alot of other media as well, shocker- you can still like it though, i and plenty of other people are still fans of it, we just wish they did a little more with their stuff and maybe not make the racism problem WORSE)

(also yes the hyrule monarchy is also evil :))) )

(and also not so secretly so either :)) )

behind the scenes!

keep reading for details about the drawing!!

on the upper left corner is a ticket to xinyan's concert plus a signed picture, the person with the newspaper is yunning (yun jin's manager) the newspaper has a picture of yun jin, on the upper right corner there's a note from shenhe that says 慢慢吃 or eat slowly/eat well. i also put a polaroid of shenjin <3

in the background there are some yun han opera troupe members!! one dan and one sheng.

on the table, you can see the sideburns opera artists use for their costumes, the makeup yun jin is using and tianshu meat which is one of yun jin's favorite dishes. and as shenhe's note implies, she's the one who delivered the food to yun jin <3

finally, yun jin is putting on make up and i drew her as a daomadan in a pink costume which im pretty sure signifies that her character is a young warrior!!

The way thanatos watches the styx because he sees it as competition, especially because it brings zagreus back instead of him and the way patroclus sits by the lethe fighting the urge to drink his sorrows away and failing on occasion is something that can be soooooo personal

[laauranenn]

I think we need to give a little more appreciation to Anzai, Kurita, Takanashi and Kakiuchi!! They're such minor characters, but they bring so much to the world!

Because we've got all these more "main" characters aside from Sakura, right? (Suo, Nirei, Sugishita, the second years etc.)

But these guys really help bring the rest of the class into the story! It's just four characters out of the maybe 30 students in the class, but they help bridge the gap between the main cast and the rest of the students really nicely!

And I know Anzai got more of a spotlight with the KEEL arc, but after that he's been filling the same role as the other three.

This isn't anything huge, but I just really want to highlight how much I love these guys as well!! They're such minor characters, but they really do add a lot!

[tanjirosun]

it’s very stupid but i feel very safe talking about my passions here on tumblr. i mean twitter is fun and chaotic but in here there’s a sense of comradeship, almost like a “oh hey i know this things you’re saying you love, i love it too. here’s a funny comment about it that will leave you giggling and spiraling because how could you not think of that before????” and it’s funny because i have like 3 followers and i have this account for YEARS lmao (and i still feel seen i love that for me

RealAgeAU Drabble - Artist Woes

Hello everyone! I am back with my BS as always and more baby nightmare shenenigans! @spotaus Hope you ready :D

First Drabble Prev Drabble Next Drabble

Ink is a very interesting Pov to write! It was fun! And as always. No beta or anything :D We here to have fun!

*---------------------*

Ink hums a happy song as he slowly sketches out the shape of a very familiar skull. He had beent rying to stay distracted after everything he learned.

He thinks he is doing an okay-ish job! Even if Error calls him an idiot for trying to escape his own new feelings.

Ink just... thinks! He should first get used to his kinda there feelings... and then on his god position! Before he... thinks about some specific feelings.

Ink groans as he grabs his phone and searches the past text messages.

Finding the right conversation quickly.

Hey Ink! Want to hang out with Dream and me? Let me know!

And then the line that Ink blocked his contact.

Ink groans as he just lays on the floor. He is a mess. Why is this so hard? It was never hard to hang out wiht Blue before. It was just nice and easy and it was fun! Now it just feels... different. it feels more important.

Not to forget his stupid feelings now actually work so he realises just how terrified he feels about being an idiot in front of Blue.

Again.

Fuck Blue has seen him do so much stupid shit. How does he deal with that?!

His phone buzzes and he picks it up with a smile before his smile falls. It is a message from Dream.

Of course it isn't a message from Blue. Blue can't send him messages because Ink blocked him!

Which... Blue knows... Ink is sure that Blue hates him or is sad or hurt because of Ink's stupid behaviour and-

HIs phone starts to ring.

Ink almost drops it before picking up "Hey Dream! I was jsut about to answer your text!"

Dream hfufs "Right." he does not sound convinced "Look. I need your help with a situation. Can you come meet us?"

Ink feels his being start to shake slighty. Us. Dream says us. Which means Blue is there!

He hadn't seen Blue since the Gyftmas party. Ink had gotten callen away for more god lessons and he hadn't even had the chance to see if Blue liked the bandana he got him.

And now Ink doens't feel sure enough to ask if Blue likes it. Waht if Blue likes it? What if he doesn't!? What if he likes the bandana but if he hears Ink got it for him he won't like it anymore!?

"Ink?" Dream sounds impatient.

Ink jumps up and rushes to grab his broom "Yeah! Sure! On my way! You send the location?" he has his broom and is already ready to cast the right magic to teleport to another location before remembering he still needs the location.

Dream is silent for a moment before answerign "You feeling okay? We can delay this a few days if you need time to rest-"

"No no no!! I am okay!" Ink rushes to stop Dream. No he needs this! He cna finally hang out wiht Blue again and because Dream is there it will be normal and not at all weird and Ink can maybe try to get an idea of how Blue feels about him and! He needs this! "You send me the location and stuff?"

Dream is quiet for a moment and Ink hears him talk with someone else before Dream answers "I send you it in a text. see you in a bit." and he hangs up.

Ink smiles as he jumps in place as he finds the location. Okay. Okay! He can do this! He can be totally normal! He will have anice hang out and then Blue will think he is cool and maybe Ink can brush off the blocking as an accident thing and everything will be fine!

He uses his broom and melts into a puddle of ink.

It feels like swimming to use his teleporting and he quickly gets to the right location. He jumps out and smiles.

Dream shoots him a grin before shooting the skeleton next to him a smug look. Blue rolls his eye lights at Dream before girnning at Ink himself "Hey Ink."

Ink is frozen. he is wearing the bandana. it looks so good on him but can he just say that? would it be weird for Ink to notice? Ink knows his memory isnt the best. would it seem obsessive if Ink noticed a difference?

Blue's grin falls as he looks worried and to the side. Oh shit he is quiet for too long isn't he?!

Ink rushes over "Hey Blue! Hey dream. It has been a while! I got busy and stuff. God stuff is weird! Hah! I mean Dream knows as well so i don't doubt you know it as well! I mena you two always hang out and stuff so of course you know. Not that that is wrong! I mean you two are best friends! It is normal!"

Oh please shut up shut up why is he still talking?!

Dream and Blue share a look. Blue frowns "Ink? Are you sure you are okay? You are acting weird..."

A snort "Seems normal to me."

Ink looks over and sees Error. Error just looks highly amused from where he is leaning agaisnt the tree. knowing look in his eye sockets.

Oh no. No no no no! Error knows about how Ink feels about Blue!! Well. Kinda feels. His whole soulless situation and feeling through paint together with ascending to godhood got weird and Ink doesn't even fully understand how it works but that is beside the point! Error was just there when Ink figured out he liked Blue a whole lot more than is normal and that is why Error knows! And Ink does not trust him with that knowledge to not make a fool out of Ink to Blue!

Well. Not that Error needs to do anything to make a fool out of Ink. Ink manages that just fine himself apparently.

Blue is frowning at Error "Error that isn't nice. He could be sick."

Error snorts nad mutters "love sick alright." and Ink prays no one heard him.

Blue doesn't react to what error said so maybe ink is lucky! And oh shit Blue is close and checking his temperature! What does he DO?!

Blue frowns "I think he is fine... You sure you feel up for this Ink?"

Ink nods "Yes! of course! Always ready to help you... two!" Ink looks between Blue and Dream before he laughs softly as he rubs his neck "What are we doing?"

Dream sighs "you seriously didn't read my texts?"

Ink slowly takes his phone out and notices that Dream send a long explanation about something to him. something about ink having to meet someone and having to help them with letting this mystery person meet the other gods.

Ink looks up and Dream sighs before nodding "okay fine. I found my brother."

Ink blinks. Something about nightmare? There hadn't been issues wiht nightmare right? Ink can't remember anything being off about him at least...

Dream looks very disapointed and hurt "Did you seriously forget my brother went missing?!"

Ink flinches. right. that. he rubs his arm "sorry..." he is a terrible friend. he had been so busy with god things... right... blue and drema ahd been working on searching for Nightmare and... and ink was too busy to help and after a while he jsut forgot aparently!

Dream sighs and Blue joins his side to support him. It stings a little.

Blue smiles "but everything is fine! We found nightmare and we are working on introducing him to many people to make sure Fate and Balance don't mess with his domain!"

Ink gives a slow nod. he knows he should know more about those two and why it is important but he can't remember at the moment. Ink hopes he will eventually remember "so... we want a truce?" maybe that is it? a truce between Ink and Nightmare?

Not the hnag out Ink wanted but he will take it at this point. He just wishes he never blocked Blue. How is he even suposed to fix that?! He doens't know!

Dream laughs and rubs his neck "I guess you can call ti a truce. Not that it matters with both Nighty and I having switched domains so we aren't even against each other in any way!" He smiles brightly.

Ink feels even worse. Fuck. He forgot. Dream switched domains! That was a whole thing. Also a thing he hadn't helped with. come on. He knows this. He knows which domain it is. something... soemthing about moving on? healing through moving on?

Dream's smile slwoly falls and Ink can hear Blue sigh. Ink holds up his hands "No! No wait! I know this!" he knwos this! come on. He knows this he knows this he knows this! "it... it... it is about... like.. moving on? healing? kinda like determination and keep going?" right? He looks at Dream desperately.

Dream blinks but laughs and nods "honestly? Very close! it is Progression but those things got to do with it."

Blue grins proudly at him "You are remembering things!"

Ink gives aslow nod "kinda..." ish. Not that much. Though he does keep remembering how pretty Blue looks with his new bandana. The neutral grey but silver and blue highlights are so pretty on him.

Error groans "Are we done yet? We got a schedule to keep here." he huffs and crosses his arms.

Dream focusses too "We are. Ink?"

Ink nods and grins "Lets make a truce!"

A voice "Finally! This was getting boring" and Killer jumps down from the tree branches.

Ink has his broom ready but Blue rushes to his side and pushes his arms down "No! No fighting! we cool!" Ink froze but not because Blue stopped him or what he said. but because Blue is holding his hand! wlel more like just pushing his hands down but it counts! Ink is totally counting it as them holding hands!

Killer grins at them "Anyway. Meet. Boss! Or well... tiny boss" and he grins. As he waves to the side and Cross jsut appears out of thin air with a child in his arms.

Ink frowns and stares before looking at Killer "I know my memory is bad.. but wasn't nightmare like... adult and gooped?" he looks at Blue to double check.

Blue smiles at him and nudges their shoulders togther "true! But Nightmare got deaged when he finished his job as god connected to balance. He went back to how he was before getting that job." and he nods over to Cross who is holding the tiny skeleton.

Ink blinks and stares at Nightmare.Nightmare just looks back at him.

Ink is hit with a dejavu and snorts "Oh yeah i can see it now. got the exact same 'you are an idiot' look as his older version." and he leans against broomie.

Blue laughs from beside him and Ink puffs his chest up a tiny bit. He got this. he got this!

Nightmare huffs and pouts as he leans clsoer to cross "Well he is an idiot."

Cross purrs as he nuzzles the skull "You are 100% right."

Ink looks ar Dream and Blue "So... what now?"

Dream smiles "We need to meet the other gods. but the more gods on our side the better." Dream sighs "Especially meeting the other gods..."

Ink frowns as he tilts his skull "Why?"

Reaper is floating nearby as he speaks and hey when did Reaper get here? "Because of Fate and Balance. We don't think they will like Nightmare not falling into either of their domains anymore."

Ink frowns and he finally remembers! "Right! They were real mad when you picked your domain right Dream?"

Dream grins "Yup! They tried to make me switch but they couldn't because everyone knew my job by then. We are trying to get Nightmare the same setup."

Ink rubs his broom as he speaks "what... euh... is the domain anyway?" they hadn't mentioned that right? he checks with blue but blue just smiles at him. So they probably didn't tell yet!

Blue looks at the gang and it is Killer who answers "Nightmare is a god of Restoration!" he nuzzles Nightmare and nightmare just looks grumpy but doens't turn away from the attention.

Ink frowns as he thinks "So... we are going to meet the other gods now?"

Blue nods as he smiles at him "That is the plan! Can you come with as extra support?"

Ink nods "sure!" He would follow Blue anywhere.

Blue smiles back.

Maybe this isn't a complete mess up just yet.
