purity and contamination notes: intro
as I mentioned, I’ve been slowly reading Purity and Contamination in Late Victorian Detective Fiction by Christopher Pittard and also taking notes! I thought I’d share some of them here, though be forewarned that it is long. I took 5 pages of handwritten notes on a 26 page introduction. so do with that what you will. I did break my bullet points up into sections for ease of reading though.
Tumblr media
Hudson’s soap ad: unique. why?
Soap ads were common, but usually in a domestic context
Relationships between crime/dirt and detection/cleansing established with use of police man and word choice (“arrest all dirt and cleanse everything”)
Notably the ad appears just weeks after the Ripper murders, and London setting is clearly shown even if clock/buildings in background do not place it in the East End
Quote: “Late Victorian detective fiction dramatises an anxiety about material contamination and impurity, including a metaphorical category of crime as dirt, and aligns detection with the act of cleaning…” (page 3)
-
What is dirt?
Mary Douglas: “dirt is essentially disorder”
Alfred Russell Wallace agrees, defines dirt as “matter in the wrong place”, a view shared by Dr Elizabeth Blackwell
Kelly Hurley: “matter out of place” is seen as “abominable” because it shows that categories are not absolute
Quote: “…the exaggerated power of cleansing rituals must be strong enough to counter the equally inflated threat of the dirty, the infected, the criminal.” (page 4)
In the Victorian mind, dirt directly equals disease
-
René Girard: “all concepts of impurity stem ultimately from the community’s fear of a perpetual cycle of violence arising in its midst”
Violence equals contamination
Julia Kristeva: “…refuse and corpses show me what I permanently thrust aside in order to live. These bodily fluids, this defilement, this shit are what life withstands, hardly and with difficulty, on the part of death.”
Mary Douglas: “all margins are dangerous, especially those of the body”
-
Purity is “overdetermined” for late Victorians
Becomes racial (eugenics + fears of degeneration), a matter of public health (food contamination + public hygiene concerns), ad buzzword
“The term “pure” became a fetish of advertising” (page 6)
Many social purity campaigns and groups formed at this time
Margaret Hunt on the views of 1890s social purists: “Sex and sexuality are deeply problematic drives, which unless tightly controlled will spill out into society and cause untold harm”
Josephine Butler campaigned against the Contagious Diseases Acts of 1864, 1866, and 1869
Acts stated that any prostitute (or anyone suspected to be) had to be medically examined, essentially placing responsibility for STDs on women, not men
Butler differed from other social purists in that she was against sex work but did not view the sex worker herself as the problem, not a view shared by many others
-
Laura Ormistan Chant was a prominent advocate against the West End music halls
Satirized in the magazine Punch as “Prowlina Pry”, invoking surveillance concerns similar to early opposition to a police force
Social purists thus equated with detectives
-
Why study themes of purity in this genre specifically?
Detective fiction in particular has a thematic concern with mess, and there is also structural affinity between purity and detective fiction
“Nothing is wasted in terms of narrative (since anything may be significant)” but writers often viewed their work itself as “a commodity for consumption and disposal” (page 12)
-
David Trotter: “Murder makes a mess in a clean place. Stories about murder are therefore stories as much about dealing with mess as about deciphering clues.”
In this model “the body is the location of horror” (page 13) similar to Kristeva’s views
But operates on the assumption that murders always take place in clean places and that all detective stories are about murder, neither of which is true
-
Most popular Victorian detective lit “tended to shy away from murder” as a “defence against sensationalism” (page 13)
This idea of “maintaining a purity of genre” grew largely in the 1890s after “crime narratives had caused controversy” (page 14)
Also a reaction to the sensation novels of the 1860s, which portrayed criminals as more sympathetic and not merely as “social filth” (page 14)
After these sensation novels came penny dreadfuls, which were also seen as impure and potentially leading young readers to commit crimes
Detective fiction of the 80s and 90s was a “cleaned up” version of crime fiction
“The Man With the Twisted Lip” by Arthur Conan Doyle invokes the trope of impurity very literally: the washing away of the disguise of Hugh Boone to reveal Neville St. Clair not only solves the mystery but entirely erases it (Boone is accused of murdering St Clair but if they’re the same person obviously this isn’t true)

Real Life Tasks With Ransom Drysdale
Tumblr media
An Advent Calendar of 24 Normal Human Tasks As Performed By A Huge Man Baby. 
Day 1: The Case Of The Mysterious Shrinking Sweater.
Warnings: Bad Language words
Pairing: Ransom Drysdale x Reader
A/N:  So this all came about as myself, @sweater-daddiesdumbdork​ and @jennmurawski13​ saw a post about Ransom doing everyday things…and yeah, it kinda spiralled. The series will consists of one-shots and drabbles, all light hearted…and the occasional little bit of smut thrown in for your pleasure and we hope a nice countdown to Christmas after what has been an utter shit-show of a year.
We will be taking it in turns to alternate posting so keep your eyes peeled for the next instalments as they arrive. I’ll be re-blogging and tagging my list. 
Series Masterlist. 
Tumblr media
 People say that being pregnant was an enjoyable experience, that you glowed and bloomed. But right now the only thing blooming was the feeling of nausea in the pit of your stomach. You lay still, hoping that it would go away, but as usual it didn’t. Swinging your legs off the side of your huge bed, you hurried barefoot over the plush carpet of the bedroom you shared with your husband before dropping with a thud to the floor of the en-suite, emptying the contents of your stomach into the porcelain bowl of the toilet. You repeated the motion again and again until you were retching dry air, your eyes watering, throat stinging and you let out a little sob.
At almost 22 weeks pregnant, this was ridiculous. The whole morning sickness was supposed to have eased off by now, but not for you. Oh no. Mind you, what else were you to expect given that you were expecting his baby.
The spawn of Satan…
“Y/N?” your husband’s deep baritone hit your ears and you turned to look up at him as he stood in the doorway, clad only in his boxers. Strong thighs gave way to a tapered waist, a flat yet slightly soft stomach ran into the hard planes of chest muscle and sculpted arms from years of playing polo (God forbid the asshole do any other form of manual exercise, well apart from the obvious one that got you into this mess in the first place that is). Broad shoulders stretched either side of a strong neck which supported that damningly handsome face with the jawline that could cut glass and those deep blue eyes that had ruined your panties the first time you’d seen them.
Hugh Ransom Drysdale was a beautiful bastard. And he knew it.
“You ok?” he asked. You narrowed your eyes before a fresh wave of nausea hit you and you retched once more.
“Do I look ok?” you shot back, sinking back onto your heels, wiping at your face. You felt Ransom move from the doorway and then heard the tap running.
“Here.” One hand settled between your shoulder-blades, the other handed you a glass of water as Ransom knelt besides you, his blue eyes bearing the warmth that he reserved only for you. You took the drink without a thanks, the usual sarcasm he would display at such an action remained unsaid as you drained the glass and passed it back. “Can I do anything else?”
“Fast forward to January next year so the baby’s here?” you grumbled “I can’t take another damned 4 months or whatever of this, Ransom!”
“Sorry Princess.” He chuckled, “I can’t help you there.” “I hate you.”
“So you keep saying.” He shrugged “But the fact you’re pregnant with my son…kinda proves that you don’t.”
“We were drunk. Besides, hate fucking is a thing.”
“Is hate marrying?”
“Yup.” You nodded. “I only married you so I could divorce you for your money.”
“Well that was almost 2 years ago so why you still here?” he drawled back and you looked at him, snorting as a smirk spread across his face before he tossed his head slightly to throw back the strands of his hair that had fallen forward over his forehead “Thought so.”
“Asshole.”
With a roll of his eyes Ransom helped you to your feet, glancing down at your chest, your swollen breasts visible down the front of your camisole top. His eyebrow arched a little as he raised his head to meet your eyes and you snorted.
“Don’t even think about it.”
“Oh come on baby!” he whined, his hands falling to your hips, pushing up the silk of the top you were wearing, his thumbs skating over the curve of your bump “You know what seeing you like this does to me.”
“Seeing me like what? Red faced with puke in my hair?”
“Yeah the puke not so much.” He wrinkled his face, “But I can think of an arrangement here that could potentially eliminate that particular issue.”
“You’re not fucking me in the shower.” You shook your head.
“But…”
“No buts Ransom.” You looked at him as he glared back, his face now wearing the usual petulant expression he bore when he didn’t get his own way “Stop being a brat. I’m up now and I got stuff to do.”
“Yeah? Like what?” he folded his arms. You gave a groan of exasperation.
“I have a conference call with my boss at midday…”
“It’s a Saturday.”
“I know that, but we have a big case…”
“You don’t need to work, tell him to fuck off.”
As usual you ignored Ransom’s dig about your job. He could never understand why you insisted on keeping your role as a Legal Secretary, but then again what was to be expected from the trust fund Man-Baby who had never worked a day in his life. “And there’s a pile of laundry to do.”
“I don’t know why you won’t let me hire a maid….”
“I don’t WANT A FUCKING MAID!” you exploded. Ransom’s eyebrows shooting upwards slightly was the only reaction to your shouting that he gave. “This is our home...”
“Well with the baby on the way, maybe you might want to reconsider that stance.”
“Or maybe you could start pulling your weight.” You jabbed him in his chest. He glanced down at your finger, his eyebrow arched as he looked back at you.
“Pulling my weight?”
“Yes.”
“Exactly how?”
“I dunno…how about you start performing those little real life tasks that normal people do Ransom? You know, the laundry, cleaning the bathroom, loading the dishwasher, making the bed, cooking breakfast or dinner…”
“Don’t be ridiculous.” He scoffed and you groaned “You know I can’t cook.”
“How do you think I learned?” you shook your head, before rubbing at your temple. “I practiced.”
“Yeah, not gonna happen Princess.”
“What a surprise” you shrugged “God forbid Hugh Ransom Drysdale get his hands dirty.”
“Don’t fucking call me that.” He snapped and you snorted. Of all the names you called him, it was his actual name that riled him so much. It was ridiculous, but also too good an opportunity to pass up. He was an asshole at times, and you took none of his shit. You never had done, not since that fateful day you met in that lecture hall at Harvard some 10 years or so ago. Truth be told, he’d often admitted it was the fact you gave him nothing but shit, called him out and basically ignored him for 6 months, despite the fact that you desperately wanted him to do very rude things to you. Your ambivalence provided him with a challenge and he pursued you with a dogged determination which you eventually gave in to towards the end of your first year of Study.
“Why not?” you shrugged, deciding to poke the bear a little more because, well, you could…that and you kind of enjoyed watching that vein pop in his neck when he was pissed “Isn’t that what the help call you? I mean I might as well be your help all things considered.”
“You’re my fucking wife.” Ransom spoke through grit teeth, his jaw set, neck strained (ah, there was that vein!)
“Well here’s a novel idea.” You smiled up at him “Why don’t you start acting like I am instead of some glorified housekeeper that you fuck and keep in your bed.”
“Ok, I’m gonna let that slide due to hormones.” Ransom’s hands fell to his hips.
“You’re gonna let it slide?” you scoffed
“Yes.”
“Whatever.” You took a deep breath “Now get out I need a shower.”
“So….just so we’re on the same page, you don’t want me to-“
“NO RANSOM!” you growled, shoving his chest. He sniggered, stepped back with his hands up, palms open as he backed out of the door, closing it behind him.
*****
Ransom could hear Y/N’s voice as it drifted softly through the closed door of the study into the hallway and he rolled his eyes. Her boss was a jerk, making her call in at midday on a fucking weekend, all because he was too incompetent to cope himself. She should be curled up on the sofa, watching junk, eating crap, wearing nothing but one of his sweaters. She’d been looking for her favourite one before, cursing when she’d realised it was in the laundry hamper and mumbling about how she’d pop it into the machine later.
“How about you start performing those little real life tasks that normal people do Ransom? You know, do the laundry…”
Ransom paused by the stairs, before he smirked a little. “Oh you’re gonna eat your words, Princess.” He mumbled, before he bolted upstairs and into their bedroom, through to the en-suite. Tipping the hamper up on its side he looked down at the pile of clothes and frowned. Y/N normally sorted them into separate piles, but he wasn’t sure how…or why now he thought about it.
Fuck it, there was nothing google couldn’t solve.
He soon found out, thank you Housewives Online, that they needed to be sorted according to colours. Whites, brights and darks. So, as his sweater was blue it could go in the colours pile. He nudged the other two piles to the side of the room with his foot before he gathered the one he wanted in his arms, wrinkling his nose at the fact he actually had dirty clothes in his hands and made his way downstairs. He wandered through the kitchen and into the utility room at the back, before he stuffed the items into the machine and then looked around for the detergent. He found it on a shelf over the back of the room along with the fabric softener. Grabbing them both he then paused as he realised he didn’t actually know where it went.
Okay, so this had to be a process of elimination. He pulled open the little drawer on the front and smirked as he noticed the sections were labelled.
“Piece of cake.” He poured in what he deemed enough of each and then shut it, before he looked at the digital dials on the front.
“For fucks sake…” he grumbled, punching a few buttons. Eventually the display kicked in, offering him a one hour-thirty hot wash.
“Well, who washes clothes in cold water?” he shrugged, pressing the green button. As he stood back the machine kicked into life and Ransom nodded, congratulating himself, before he decided he’d earned himself a beer.
****
“Son of a…” you heard the curse as you opened the door to the study and frowned. Whilst your call had lasted a little longer than it should have, surely Ransom couldn’t have gotten himself into that much trouble in the space of two hours. You followed his string of expletives down the hall, through the kitchen and into the laundry room to find Ransom holding what looked like a smaller version of his sweater in his hands.
“What are you doing?” you frowned.
“Singing a duet with Beyonce, what does it look like I’m doing?” he snapped.
“It looks like you’re doing laundry.” You ignored his shitty comment and arched an eyebrow, one hand falling to your small bump.
“No shit, Sherlock.”
“Where did you get that little…” you trailed off as you realised that it wasn’t a smaller version of his gorgeous navy blue, soft woolly number in his hands, it WAS his gorgeous navy blue, soft woolly number “You shrunk your sweater?” He glared at you as you started to laugh “Oh my god, you dumbass!”
“It wasn’t me it was that fucking shitty machine.”
“There’s nothing wrong with the machine.”
“Well why did it shrink then?”
“What programme did you put it on?”
“Programme?” he frowned “I just turned it on.”
With a sigh you rubbed at your temple “There are different settings depending on what you’re washing.” You stated “That’s wool. It should have been on a cool cycle.”
Ransom looked at the item in his hand and you watched as his shoulders sagged a little. “I wanted it to be nice and clean for you to wear later.” He sighed as he peeked up at you, a strand of hair falling over to his brow. Your heart instantly melted, little gestures like this from him meant the world as it was his way of showing he cared. He could buy you all the expensive shit in the world but these were the little things you craved.
“Oh baby!” you chuckled as you stepped forward, leaning up to kiss his cheeks. “It was a nice thought…” you took the sweater off him and looked at it “But even I don’t think I’ll fit into that. It’s tiny.”
Ransom looked at it before his face suddenly curled into a smile “Baby boy tiny?”
You let out a laugh “Maybe not baby boy tiny, but little child boy tiny, sure.”
“We’ll save it for him then.” He said, tossing it down into the basket of wet items that needed to be dried. “His first hand-me-down.”
You smiled as his hands dropped to your hips and pulled you closer. “You’re a big softy really, aint you?” you reached up to brush that stubborn strand of hair back of his forehead and he shrugged before he grinned, rocking his pelvis forward.
“I won’t be soft for long.” His head dropped and he nipped at your ear “Let me show you what Husband chore  I’m actually good at.”

Hizashi Yamada - Cockatoo
📣 You guys totally didn’t plan on getting a cockatoo, or any pet for that matter. Y’all just moved into your new place for christ’s sake! 
📣 But after a visit to a lil exotic pet store downtown, your plans changed. And now you’re stuck with a bird with the intelligence of a toddler
📣 According to Yama, the bird just ‘called to him’ and by that, he means the bird literally screamed at him
📣 They’ve got the most bougie cage ever like MTV cribs hit them up. 
📣But he doesn’t spend too much time in there as you guys let him roam around the house all day until it’s time for bed or if you leave for a while
📣 If they’re not attached to Yama’s shoulder, you often find them waddling around the house, picking things up off of the floor and throwing them, and squawking at you when they want attention
📣 Sounds like someone else you know huh…
📣 Yama and the bird dance together so much omg. They do the lil head bobs together, he’ll blast some music for them and they go to town he even chirps along to the lyrics omg-
📣 He doesn’t even have to teach them words, they just pick them up on their own… and then never stop saying them… ever 
📣 ‘YEAHHHHH’ then from the other side of your home you hear another ‘YEAAHHHHH’
📣 Make it stop
📣 You taught them cuss words for the shits and giggles though
📣 Yama finds it funny too though because he’s got that 8-year-old sense of humor… you all do to be honest 
📣 But when the bird chooses to sit on your shoulder you bet your ass Yamada’s gonna fawn over the two of you for the next hour :’)

Ok, so if you’re feeling up for a request, can I ask for Bakugou and reader who are in a secret relationship? How long are they able to keep the secret 👀
YES JUNE YOU LOVELY HUMAN HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY
a/n: h/n=hero name, also I'm sorry I can't use the "read more" feature atm, my phone isn't working properly.
pairing: pro hero!bakugou katsuki x pro hero!reader
warnings: bakugou is a Tsundere™, fuck mainstream media, swearing, mention of being drugged (by a villain)
enjoy!
The cardinal unspoken rule for Pro Heroes: don't date each other.
It was just too much of a headache. Between fighting villains, taking down crime rings, and filling out paperwork, there was just no time for it. And God forbid the media find out. People everywhere were starving for a taste of a Hero's personal life they had no business with.
All you had to do was follow it. The one job you had was to not fall in love with your former classmate, to not catch feelings for the man you shared an agency with.
But, of course, fate had other plans.
The morning after a benefit gala you had woken up in his bed, frightened that you weren't in your own. At first, you had no clue where you were; he wasn't laying beside you when the cheerful tones of a phone ringing pulled you from sleep.
However, after examining the clothes you had on, and confirming that they weren't the ones you had attended the gala in, you realized just whose bed you'd slept in.
The faded black t-shirt with a white skull confirmed that.
Grabbing a robe from a chair, you ventured out from the bedroom.
You found him curled up on the couch, snoring gently under a thick wool blanket. His ashy blonde hair was pulled in every direction, even more so than usual. A suit jacket and pants were thrown haphazardly around the room, a nightmare for his stylist to find later.
You nudged his forearm. "Bakugou?"
He snapped awake, scanning you with those ruby red eyes. "Oh, hey. You okay?"
"Yeah, but-" You paused, doing a quick check to make sure all your senses were alert and nothing hurt. "-why am I here?"
Bakugou sat up, massaging his neck. "Some dumbass spiked the drinks last night and you happened to be one of the few victims. I brought you here because I-"
The words caught in his throat.
"I didn't know where you lived and I made sure with the paramedics that you were okay. They told me you just needed some rest and fluids when you got up. The asshole who did this has a Quirk like Midnight's."
You pieced together the events from the night before. The announcements, the dinner, the dancing...and then everything swirling as darkness enveloped your vision.
"Thanks."
He paused the ministrations on his shoulders. "Yeah, whatever."
You began to collect your things, starting with your clutch on the coffee table. Turning back to the bedroom, you began to search for your clothes.
A hand suddenly grasped yours, freezing you in your tracks. "Hey, wait. You're not leaving yet, are you?"
"Well, I mean, I certainly don't see any point in staying-"
"What if I gave you one?"
You were immediately aware of how much closer he'd gotten; the hand that had grasped yours was slowly making its way up your arm.
"Bakugou, what are you talking about?"
He was looking straight at you. "Look, I wanted to tell you this last night. Fuck, I've been meaning to for a while. But I like you, L/N. Ever since UA, actually."
The heat that rose to your cheeks was one of embarrassment. "Listen, i like you too. But fuck, you couldn't have picked a worse time. We're both Pros now, do you have any idea what kind of a field day the media would have if they found out Number Two Hero Ground Zero was dating someone like me?"
"What the hell do you mean, dumbass? Like those extras have to find out. Besides, just because you rank two below me doesn't mean you're some kind of subhuman. Do you forget you're in the Top Ten, too, H/N?" He reassured you, grasping your shoulders with both hands, still moving them ever upward.
"I'm just saying, we wouldn't get an inch of privacy. You know how it is when Heroes date."
Bakugou just chuckles, his hands at your jawline, thumbs caressing your cheeks. "Like i said, none of them have to know."
You sighed, smirking. "You're about damn annoying, you know that?"
Bakugou let out his signature tch, but smiled back at you nonetheless.
"Just fucking kiss me already."
He wasted no time in complying, bringing his lips to yours and grasping the sides of your face.
That was five months ago.
You sat in his lap, remembering that fateful day fondly as a movie long forgotten played on the television. He was beginning to doze off beneath you, head resting comfortably on your shoulder. Sleepy eyes trailed across your torso, and came to a stop at your own eyes as he pieced together what you were doing. "Whatcha thinking about?"
A chuckle left your throat. "The morning you asked me out. I still can't believe I didn't deck you for undressing me."
He huffed. "Would you have rather slept in that stupid sparkly dress, or my favorite shirt?" He paused, adding quickly after a moment of silence. "Yeah, that's what I thought, dumbass."
You slapped his knee, moving to get up off of his lap in order to take him to bed. The same bed you now shared.
Bakugou resisted, trying to tug you back down onto him. A very childlike grunt came from his mouth.
"Katsu, c'mon. Let's go to bed." You urged, trying to squirm away from his strong grasp. Despite his tired state, the man was still a force to be reckoned with when it came to brute strength.
You resigned for the time being, opting to fish your phone from your pocket.
A bright headline lit up the screen.
"Ground Zero Spotted With Number Four Hero, H/N, Outside Musutafu Market Holding Hands"
You couldn't help but groan. The one time you had decided to go on an inconspicuous date in public, the cat was out of the bag.
"Guess we're public now, whether we like it or not." Katsuki growled. "Whatever. At least now everyone knows you're mine." He gripped you tighter, nuzzling into your neck and making you giggle. "Not like I wanted to keep you a secret forever."
"I know," you sighed again. "I just thought we might get a little more time to ourselves."
"You think I'm gonna let those shitty reporters and talk show hosts are gonna take a second away from our time together? Man, I really am dating a dumbass."
You feigned offense, gasping comically and making him jolt up in surprise. "Me? A dumbass? Never. But your dumbass? Forever."
Bakugou smirked, pressing a kiss to your neck that held the promise of that forever, of many more things to come.
Fuck that stupid cardinal rule, you thought.

4x21 when the levee breaks
this is a long one. enjoy.
#1: sam asked dean repeatedly to be let out of the panic room so he can explain. dean said no. instead he chose to continue to keep sam locked up against his will.
time tag: 1:10
#2: “you lied to me over, and over again. i get it now” (dean to sam).
here he is acknowledging sam has a serious addiction. he doesn’t fucking care though! because instead of treating sam like an addict, he is treating him like a monster.
time tag: 1:36
#3: “strong? this is about as far away from strong as you can get. try weak. desperate. pathetic.”
.... he is an ADDICT. quick google search will tell you that you should never blame the addict, or insult them. dean has never been able to see things from other’s perspectives, and this is a perfect fucking example of that. calling your brother, who has a drug addiction, pathetic and weak....makes me sick.
time tag: 1:55
#4: “oh lilith is going to die. bobby and i will kill her, and not with you” (said to sam).
idiot. dean couldn’t even kill alastair. hell, the angels couldn’t even kill alastair. and lilith is known to be stronger. dean has lost his mind.
time tag: 2:07
#5: “congrats sammy. you just bought yourself a benchwarmer seat to the apocalypse”.
okay a couple things, 1. sam didn’t buy shit, dean is forcing him to sit this one out. and 2. dean wants to kill lilith? cool. glad we are all acknowledging that no one knows the consequences of that yet.
time tag: 2:15
#6: shuts the hatch again and leaves to just go back upstairs while sam is screaming for dean to let him out. he not only left sam to detox alone in a locked metal cage. but now he is also leaving the basement so he won’t have to hear his screams? obviously doesn’t care about sam’s wellbeing at. all. it’s so fucked up.
time tag: 2:32
#7: “no one knows how long it will take. hell, or if sam will even live through it” (bobby to dean). dean and bobby do nothing.
time tag: 5:19
#8: “so what? we sacrifice sam’s life, his soul, for the greater good?” (said to bobby, after bobby suggested letting sam help with the apocalypse)
.....bold of dean to act like he cares about sam’s life. his brother is dying downstairs, and dean chilling with bobby upstairs. cute.
time tag: 8:45
#9: sam is too ill to walk across the panic room to get a glass of water. maybe if his “loving” brother was in there with him, that wouldn’t of been a problem.
time tag: 9:47
#10: “you got ass-reamed in heaven, but it was not of import?” (said to cas)
time tag: 14:02
#11: “can he do it? kill lilith? stop the apocalypse?” (said to cas)
oh? dean also believes killing lilith will stop the apocalypse? good to know. won’t matter though, because he’s gonna pretend he didn’t come 5x01.
time tag: 14:20
#12: “we believe it’s you dean, not your brother.” (cas to dean, about killing lilith)
we all know cas was lying, angels knew dean couldn’t do shit about lilith. but the words cas uses are similar to the ones ruby says to sam. dean is being manipulated into thinking HE can kill lilith “the right way” and if sam tries to kill lilith, then he will become a “creature you would feel compelled to kill” (cas to dean). point is, if dean was fully prepared to have the angels use him to kill lilith, then shouldn’t he have understood sam sacrificing himself to kill lilith?
time tag: 14:35
#13: the way the light was hitting him made him look so ugly for a second. looked 85 at best. he deserved to look ugly. best part of the episode.
time tag: 15:40
#14: strapped sam down to the bed. now he has zero access to water, or a toilet. smart.
time tag: 19:23
#15: bobby: “if he doesn’t get what he needs soon, sam’s not gonna last much longer”
dean: ”no. i’m not giving him demon blood. i won’t do it.”
bobby: “and if he dies?”
dean: “then at least he died human!”
dean doesn’t give a flying fuck about sam as a person. he would rather let his brother die, ALONE, just so he dies “human”.....sam hasn’t been 100% human since novemeber 2nd 1983. and ever since dean found this out in 4x03, he has treated sam as less than. he can act like he cares for his brother all he wants, but it’s obvious he fucking doesn’t.
time tag: 20:50
#16: “i won’t let my brother turn into a monster” (said to bobby)
....what kind of “monster” kills demons for the greater good. what kind dean? you let me know.
time tag: 22:27
#17: both dean and bobby think ruby got sam out of the panic room. ok. dumb. but ok.
time tag: 28:07
#18: “i am on call, in my car, on my way to murder the bitch” (said to bobby, about ruby)
time tag: 28:44
#19: ruby: “i had no idea that dean would do that to you”
sam: “you and me both”
thats just....sad. to trust your brother so completely your entire life, and then for him to do that to you....its fucked.
time tag: 30:00
#20: “us finding sam? that’s got to be about getting him back, not pushing him away” (bobby to dean).
dean didn’t fucking listen to a word bobby said.
time tag: 35:52
#21: tried to murder ruby again. as far as dean knows, ruby is also trying to kill lilith for the right reasons just let everyone else. i get he’s mad about the demon blood, but that’s sam’s friend, it’s his call to make. if sam wants to continue his addiction thats HIS choice. the addiction affects dean in 0 ways. therefore, he gets no say in the matter whatsoever.
time tag: 36:32
#22: sam: “let’s just talk about this”
dean: “soon as she’s dead (ruby), we can talk all you want”
why is he giving conditions? just talk to your fucking brother.
time tag: 37:18
#23: “i just want you to be okay” (said to sam) oh? is that why you left him alone to die in an underground metal room?
time tag: 37:53
#24: “come with us, dean. we can do this together” (sam to dean)
let’s remember sam said this. because dean is gonna act like he didn’t
time tag: 38:11
#25: “demon bitch is a deal breaker”
why are there always conditions with dean? like everything always has to go his way. god forbid anyone objects.
time tag: 38:20
#26: sam: “i’m the only one that can do this dean” dean disagrees. he thinks he is.....he thinks that because the angels are manipulating him. two manipulated boys standing in a room f-i-g-h-t-i-n-g.
time tag: 38:38
#27: dean: “you’re not gonna do a single damn thing”
sam: “stop bossing me around, dean!”
time tag: 38:59
#28: sam: “my whole life, you take the wheel, you call the shots, and i trust you, because you are my brother. now, i’m asking you, for once...trust me”
dean: “no.”
so sam trusts his brother, solely because he’s his brother, yet dean won’t trust sam because???? idk he’s too tall maybe.
time tag: 39:11
#29: “it’s not something that you’re doing, it’s what you are!” (said to sam). 
proof that dean only cares if sam is human, and not who sam actually is as a person. he started treating sam differently the day he found out what azazel did to him, and he has treated him with the same apprehension and disdain ever since. 
time tag: 39:35
#30: “it means you’re a monster” (said to sam).
time tag: 39:58
#31: sam punched dean. dean fights back. based on EVERYTHING dean has done to him, i’m gonna go ahead and say that sam punching him is completely justified. now dean deciding to beat the shit out of him....not justified. sam did nothing to deserve that. he literally just made a friend without dean’s permission, and got high. none of which, affected dean.
time tag: 40:05
#32: “you walk out that door...don’t you ever come back” (said to sam)
same words john used. cute dean. like father like son
time tag: 41:46

are you kidding me? - peter parker (soulmate!au) - part 3
Tumblr media
pairing: peter parker x stark!female!reader
summary: during your everlasting rivalry against peter parker, you’re unlucky enough to find out that not only is he spider-man (your dad’s new kid), but he is also your soulmate. god help us all. (soulmate au where you have a mark of where your soulmate first touches you)
word count: 2511
requested: yes!
warnings: language, slight angst, stab wound
a/n: GUESS WHOSE BACK BACK BACK BACK AGAIN!!! hey guys! sorry i’ve been mia recently, school has really been piling up on me and i pushed off this part for so long! tbh i think this is gonna be slightly slow burn?? i don’t want to rush anything oof. hope you guys like it :)) 
THE NEXT DAY
As both Peter and Y/N made their way to school, they communicated to one another on how they should act and when they should tell their individual friends about the whole soulmate ordeal. For the time being, they decided to still hate each other at school--which, technically, they still hadn’t been too fond of each other ever since the previous day. Y/N, being the more stubborn of the two, couldn’t push aside the decade-long rivalry between her and Peter. She was still in denial that he was her soulmate, the one who she would spend the rest of her life with. 
Chewing on her lip, Y/N thought about her future with Peter in it. She always knew that he would stick around in her life but never where. After the almost-kiss that they shared last night, she muted her thoughts from him, not wanting to distract while fighting crime. As she did so, she wondered why she cared about the well-being of the boy, not just in academics.
-at Midtown-
As Peter and Y/N made their way to their first period, they cautiously stood at different places from one another when passing through the hallway. Thankfully enough, Ned found Peter and they weaved their way into their history class. Y/N found herself in the class moments after, taking a seat in the back corner to ensure that she could take a nap for the period.
Y/N had always prepared ahead of time for the classes she decided to take naps in. Her phone was programmed to pick up what the teacher was saying during the lecture; later, Y/N would listen and add extra information to her notes (a/n: i suggest this highly; it works super well! :)).
When the lecture started, Y/N was out like a light. She got plenty of sleep the night before, but still preferred to be asleep. Peter, who sat across the room, tried to focus on his notes, but felt the strong urge to stare at her. Similar to Y/N, Peter felt hesitant to feel affections toward his usual enemy. Ever since yesterday, he cringed at how the two treated each other. 
Needless to say, these circumstances were more than overwhelming.
-lunch-
After their fifth period Spanish class, Y/N and Peter walked side by side in the hallway. Before they knew it, Flash called out at Peter.
“Hey Penis Parker! What are you doing, flying out of your league?” 
“And what would you know, Flash? Last time I checked, your homecoming date left you in the dust to go and grind with some other egotistical prick.”
Flash’s jaw dropped at Y/N’s words and Peter covered his mouth to stifle his laughter. Y/N turned around to face Flash, deadpan--clearly unamused by his ever so endearing nickname for Peter. Then, as if in some world-turning moment, she realized that she had just defended her rival.
Nobody knew that they were soulmates just yet.
She couldn’t let that happen--not now at least.
However, before she could make an excuse for standing up for Peter, Flash suddenly changed his target of ridicule.
“Aw, I’m sorry babe. Do you have a personal score to settle with Lindsey? Or, better yet, come over tonight and we can,” Flash continued to advance towards her and corner Y/N onto a locker, “make up for lost time.” Flash was face-to-face with Y/N, expelling his hot breath over her face. Although Flash was yet another person who knew how to make Y/N’s skin crawl, she decided to swallow the vomit coming up her throat and let herself be “enchanted” with the king of douches.
“Umm...you sure have a way with words, handsome,” Y/N’s mind was screaming at her to kick him in the nuts, but her pride didn’t allow her to let up and run to her only safe space--Peter. She feigned a gleaming smile, letting it hit her eyes. Flash only smirked at his supposed “power” over women, though it repulsed anything that walked--no, breathed--on this very earth. Y/N continued to keep this act up by biting her lip and forcing herself to eye his lips, misshapen and topped with peach fuzz for a mustache. It sent her back to last night with Peter, and she mentally sunk into thoughts of the blessed day when she’d put her guard down and allow herself to love him--woah, wait...what the fuck?
Just as she was about to dwell on her absurd thought, she felt the disgustingly warm body heat in front of her being ripped away and an angry Peter now in front of her. His back was facing her and he held his death grip on Flash, who now looked scared as all hell, was panting from the sudden movement and wide-eyed.
“How about we don’t do that?” Peter threatened, gritting his teeth and shooting daggers at Flash. Y/N walked directly behind Peter and performed the trick as old as time: playing with the angry boy’s hair to calm him down. As she laced her fingers through his wavy hair, Peter fell victim to the affection. He let go of Flash, freeing him to run away from the previously seething Peter--not sparing to look back at the nerd who once could never have the heart to kill a fly. 
Y/N grabbed onto Peter’s shoulder and turned him around, hand still interlocked within his curls. Peter’s expression showed pure relaxation, contradicting the near-death that he could have caused. They looked into each other’s eyes, once again letting the rest of the world slip away. Thank God that everyone else had cleared the hallway and went their own ways to the cafeteria. The young Stark filed her hand through his exceptionally soft hair--what conditioner do you use? They chuckled, knowing that only these two could see into her comedic genius. Peter’s eyes wandered her face, taking in her features and mentally noting small details that he would’ve never noticed beforehand. He suddenly cupped her face with his hands and went to lean in, only for Y/N to abruptly rip her contact from him.
“Peter--”
“I’m sorry--”
“Can we just give...give whatever this is--a moment to breathe? Jesus, it’s been a day and now I have to make sure that no one ever hits on me because God forbid Spider-Man’s soulma--” Peter’s hand clamped over Y/N’s mouth, eyes wide and desperate for her to shut up.
“I’m sorry, ok? Now will you stop talking before someone hears?” Y/N shoved his hand off her mouth and made a beeline towards the exit, not dealing with anymore of this bullshit.
Y/N, frustrated and fed up, went home to the complex--this, and she swears by it, was by far the worst week of her life. She wished that she wasn’t so difficult, that she could have been dealt a different soulmate, that she could start over, that she could be anywhere else but here. She made an effort to ignore his thoughts and mute her own. She didn’t want to be burned again. She has always pined after the well-deserved love and freely gave her heart to the people who gave her half-assed compliments--believing that each time would be different. Yet time and time again she would be let down, until she had enough. She sealed her walls with super-glue and rejected any form of genuine interest in her well-being. 
-at Avengers complex-
4:56
Peter tried to busy himself with expanding his patrol area, patrol hours, and homework--anything to avoid facing the obvious. He may as well be dead to her, right?
God, no! Don’t ever say that. Just--give me time, alright? This is just...a lot.
Look--we’re adjusting right now. Us even talking is already some sort of sign that we can try to get along. I know you’d prefer to stay at the very least 6 feet apart but--fuck, I’ll be honest--ever since we…connected I’ve been able to see you in a different light--
--pretty sure that’s called being horny--
--will you just...you know what? No. You don’t get to find out what I was going to say. Are you happy now?
Y/N didn’t respond. She just laid on her bed, aggressively staring at her window, hoping that he just might swing by.
It wasn’t long until she felt a searingly white hot pain on her left side. She screamed out in her room, trying to haphazardly relieve some of this unbearable punishment of having a superhero as a soulmate. Tears blurred her vision and she clutched her side, unable to move in fear that she would break her entire body. With as much effort she could put out, she reached for her suit tracking device--jesus christ, what the fuck happened to him?
Y/N saw the spider icon deep in the streets of Queens, at one of the many Mom and Pop restaurants. She saw an update on the suit condition:
OPENING ON LEFT SIDE - COULD BE KNIFE WOUND?
Peter, are you okay? Please get out of there as soon as you can! I’ll call the police right now--OW!
Y/N received a crisp punch to her right cheek, wincing and letting the new tears fall over her face. She tried to stay strong, despite everything hurting so much. She pressed “NOTIFY POLICE” on the device and curled into a ball, hoping the pain would stop soon. Just as she thought it was over, a square kick to the stomach almost caused an upheaval of her last meal. Stars taking over her vision, she fell unconscious onto her bedroom floor.
-meanwhile-
Peter has had his fair share of difficult and strong criminals, but damn! This group was one for the books. Not considering the soulmate tie between himself and Y/N, he fought the band of robbers and took each hit as a grain of salt.
Peter, are you okay? Please get out of there as soon as you can! I’ll call the police right now--OW!
“Oh shit--” Peter mumbled, allowing himself to get punched in the face by the one of the last men standing. Easily knocking him out with his special “pow, pow, POW” combo, as Peter liked to call it.
Unfortunately, before he could safely escape the scene, with the criminals webbed up against the wall, the final “stupidhead” (once again, as Peter liked to call it) attacked him with a swift kick to the stomach.
Shit.
Peter heard the sirens nearly a block away, so he opted to avoid any more conflict by webbing the kicker against the ceiling of the restaurant--stealing away into the city and on the way to the complex.
He remembered the backpack that was so secretly plastered next to the window of Y/N’s bedroom and was quick to change into his street clothes. Practically breaking into her bedroom, Peter was instantly at Y/N’s unconscious side--did her body show where he got hurt also?
Unsure if he was throwing away all of Aunt May’s well-taught respect and manners of “don’t put your hands on a girl unless she says you can and she wants you to,” Peter lifted her shirt to check if she was stabbed as well. Fortunately, either soulmate can have the sensation of pain--not the actual injury itself.
Y/N woke with a start, breaking her eyelids open to see Peter lifting her shirt to check the left side.
“What are you doing?” Y/N flinched away, tearing the material out of his hands.
“I’m sorry--I was checking if you were okay--”
“--people don’t check under other people’s shirts--wait. Am I stabbed?” Y/N went to check herself, only to double take at Peter’s blood stain growing larger by the second.
“Oh my god--stay right there, ok? I’ll go get a first aid kit--holy shit…”
Peter chuckled at her antics, but winced as he realized that...I got stabbed and it’s an open wound and now I’m laughing and oh my god--
“Ok, holyshitok--lay on my bed, please. Lay on your side, with the wound facing me. Also, please take off your shirt,” Y/N took a deep breath, preparing the sutures to properly address the injury. She concentrated, despite her hands shaking horribly. 
“This is going to feel even worse than when I start to sew but you can grab onto something if you need,” Y/N softly spoke, ready to clean, with alcohol, around where the knife had tore into his flesh. Peter nodded, unsure what he could grab onto without breaking her concentration. He opted for her bedsheets, which were slightly wrinkled and smelled like the expensive detergent that often surrounds Y/N--what? Why am I--
Y/N hummed in content and smiled to herself as she finished disinfecting and started to sew. Although Peter was used to his clumsy hands dangerously stitching together his deeper injuries, Y/N’s precision and patience to ensure the least amount of pain almost...put him at peace. She would glance over at him to reassure herself that he wasn’t passed out--though that would make the situation far less intimidating. Here he was, Peter Benjamin Parker, shirtless and occasionally bleeding (though it was far less than before), on Y/N M/N Stark’s bed. When she wasn’t looking at him, Peter would steal glances at the young Stark, appreciating her calm nature in such a scenario like this. On the other hand, when he wasn’t staring at her, Y/N would give a side eye to Peter--who was focusing on the small design on the bedsheets. He recognized the R2-D2 and C-3PO duo that continued across the dimensions of the mattress, tracing the dark outline of each character.
“Ok, I’m almost done. I just need to apply the gauze and the skin adhesive,” Y/N stated, quickly exiting the room to go fetch the proper dressings.
When she came back, Peter was still in the same position--but with stilled breathing and relaxed muscles.
Oh my God, he’s asleep. At least the hard part’s over--I think.
Y/N finished the full treatment for the wounds, briefly waking Peter up to tell him to get changed into some loungewear. He barely obliged, grumpy from having been woken up from his short nap. He pouted like a toddler, wanting to return to the “comfy bed with the nice blankets.” Y/N did her best to not laugh, admiring the adorable nature that came with him. He returned to the bed and Y/N made sure that he was comfortable enough without laying directly on top the wounds. She tried her best to be a better person and reluctantly played with his hair, hearing a small “thank you” in response. Peter fell asleep immediately, exhausted from a mentally and emotionally gruelling day.
Y/N watched as he finally relaxed into his sleep, thankful that she could at least help the superhero everyone loved.
Someday, I will love him. Just not now--not yet. I can’t let you in just yet.

Ok I have one !!! Imagine Kai having to take care of his son all alone because SO is out of town visiting family or something, it would be so awkward and cute ❤️
I did this once but Kaito was just a baby ^^
Tumblr media
Now, as much as he appreciate his son being quiet for once... this situation was also leaving him a bit... moody.
You, again, had to leave due to your family... and just like the other time, he was left to take care of his son, whose now had already 2 years.
Kaito was everthing but a quiet kid, but when you left, he losed that little sparkle of energy and just stayed quiet most of the time, trying to draw something as his face remained stoic... just like his father.
This was bothering him for a while now, and he demanded that Chrono took him out to distract his head as he burried himself onto work.
Kai and Kaito had their own and different ways to deal their missing of you...
But when Kurono came back with his still sad son he was both pissed at his childhood friend for not helping the slightest and concerned.
Maybe he was sick? God forbids that...
He suddenly placed his gloved hand at his son forehead as he played on the ground, a tiny yelp coming at his son for consequebce of his actions.
"...Da?"
"No fever. Thank god." He sighed in relief before sitting on the couch, his son looking up at him with serious eyes but wonded evidently on it.
"Mad?" He shook his head in response at his son question, hand on his clothed mouth as he was lost on thinking.
"Mama home today?" He sighed out loud before groaning a response.
"Is 'is mother coming back home today?' brat, and no. Not today." The kid hummed but he noticed the hint of dissapointment and sadness on his son's eyes as he poked his toy.
"... what do you want to do?" The kid looked back at him confusedly "What do you want that will wipe that..." he pointed at his son with his palm " defeated expression of yours."
The kid tilted his head with a 'huh?', as he deadpanned.
Kids aren't supposed to be that slow to understand him.
"I know you miss your mother Kaito. But she will not be back for at least another day, so what will make you at least more at ease? Less.. sad, than you are right now?"
The kid looked up at his father from the carpet before he got up from the ground and went towards him, grabbing onto his pants as he looked up.
"Up! Up!"
"... Are you serious?" He glared at his son whose still was saying the same word countless times.
The first time Kaito did this he seriously looked up to see if it was something on the ceiling before he deadpanned when he saw you picking him up on your arms.
"It doesn't cost much to say the whole sentence I swear-"
"Kai he only has two years..."
So by now he knew what his son meant... but why? Why out of all things had to be this?
"Anything else?" He asked as his son stubbornly shocked his head, chirping another 'up!'
He pinched the bridge of his nose with a heavy sigh before he took only last glare down at his son.
"I despise you and your clinging habbits brat." He muttered before picking his giggling son on his gloved hands awkwardly, placing him right on his lap to be facing him.
"Luckily you showered just when you got back..." he growled before he felt a tug on his shirt "What now?"
The kid giggled again, pushing himself up to be now standing up to his feet on his father's lap as he tried to touch the piercing on Kai's left ear.
Key word: tried.
"No. Hands off." He said monotonously before he grabbed his son tiny wrist and putted it back on his side.
The little half demon just giggled harder and went to touch his other ear, laughing at his father's face when he prevented it again.
"What's even so humurous about thi-?" He blocked another time his son's chubby hands at going to touch his piercings "Kaito stop."
"Nah!" The kid went again, miserably having now both of his wrist caged on his father's hand.
"'No' for you mister. When I say no is a order."
The kid poked his tongue out in response and his eye twitched before he flipped his son's nose without thinking.
The kid went wide eyed before he slowly bringed his chubby hand at his nose, botttom lip suddenly trembling.
Oh shit.
"Kaito, it wasn't even that-" the kid sniffled and he knew he really fucked up.
"Kaito come on is not that bad, listen don't need to-" his son started to whine while his (E/c) eyes were slowly turning pink.
He panicked and got up, Kaito on his arms as he still tried to talk with him.
"No no no. Here, brat. Listen, don't need to cry okay? I will give you anything in exchange. Kaito listen to me." He groaned as son as he saw the first tears coming out of his son eyes.
HE DIDN'T USED ANY STRENGTH OF HIS ON THAT FLIP COME ON!
He growled mentally before sitting down again and picking Kaito's hand, which was on his cheek, and brought to his pierced ear in a act of desperation.
"There." He growled and visibly relaxed at seing his son possible outburst was fading away as the toddler noticed where his hand was.
The kid went from crying to a happy giggly one in mere seconds as he rouched his father's piercings.
"You did that on purpose. I just know it. Damn half demon that looks more like one hundred per cent..." he growled as he clenched his jaw at feeling his son's hand on his ear.
The kid accidentally pushed a bit too hard making him grunt, immediately retreating his hand away with a pout.
"Sowwy."
" 'Apologies or Sorry' Kaito." He sighed in annoyance "And I guess that this one I deserve it for flipping your nose..." the kid giggled before yawning.
"Huh. Passed your bedtime and I didn't even saw it." He surpressed a yawn of his own as he got up with the boy on his arms.
"No sleep!" The kid protested, rubbing one of his eyes.
"You just yawned brat. A sign that your body is demanding rest, so you will rest."
"Noo!" The squirmed in his father's strong arms as he was carried through the halls "Mama will be here! Wanna stay awake!"
He stopped on his tracks in shock at seing his son's confession, softening his gaze just a bit at him.
"... then we will wait for her in my bedroom then. This way you brat will sleep but still can wait for her."
"Will not sleep! Dada will sleep!" He pointed at Kai's face with a smirk "'Cause he is old! Old people sleep more!"
"Old your nose brat, how dare you?" He growled before literally throing his son on his bed, rolling his eyes in false annoyance with his laughing.
~
Pops walked down the halls and noticed your figurine frozen cold on the entrance of your and Kai's bedroom, both hands covering your mouth.
"(Y/N) my dear, welcome back." He said with a smirk before arching one of his eyebrows as you shushed him quietly.
"Don't make too many noise, they might wake up." You whispered before mentioning with your hand for him to come closer and take a look.
The moment he layed his eyes on his sucessor, sleeping on the bed; without one of his dammed mask on; with Kaito on his chest as one gloved hand rested on the boy's back, tiny body rising in falling in synchrony with Chisaki's breathing; he swore his jaw could have broken the floor from the way it had fallen in surprise.
"Please my dear daughter in law, go into my office and grab one camera. This is just more precious and rare than gold and diamonds." Hs chuckled quietly as you finished taking pictures with your cellphone.
"Huh? You're planning to..?"
"Print the photo and frame it? Absolutely. Considers this a gift for both me and you."
He chuckled at the speed you used to go into his office as hs took a glance at the still asleep dark brow haired...
Again, he thanked the heavens that Kai didn't lost all of his humanity... better yet, still are on the path he teached him but also got to find a bit of peacefulness and happiness.

Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four
Omega!Peter and Alpha!Tony.
Warning: Peter is 17 (Tony is a year and a half older), there’s some mentions of abuse (not with the main pairing), feminization (Peter).
*
Peter has to take like twenty pictures before he arranges himself just right in the frame and sends it off to Quentin. When his phone buzzes he gets a noncommittal niceand Peter stares at the phone for a few moments because he’s kind of pissed, actually. When Quent sends him a picture he’s supposed to fawn all over him but he gets nicewith no punctuation? Really? Ugh, he’s so damn sick of Quentin being likethat because he’s suresomeone else would appreciate his efforts and he’s sotempted to test it too because his skirt is cuteand the picture is fucking artful, okay? He even made sure the lighting was nice. Fucking Quent.
He stews on that for a long time, texting the group chat back and forth about it while he does math homework, ugh. Ned, probably because he kind of hates Quentin, tells him he should do it and when he asks for MJ’s advice he’s pretty sure she encourages him because she loves drama so long as it doesn’t involve her. Liz, as always, is the voice of reason and tells him he’s just frustrated, which is truebut also. He just wants to know, for scienceas MJ helpfully put it, if someone else would actually give him a half way decent response. Not that that’s hard when your competition is nice, no punctuation.
Its not like he’s really considering it much when he scrolls through his contact list on account of everyone he knows knows Quentin, obviously, and they’d obviously pass the information of him sending out saucy pictures to other people. And then Peter would have to deal with thatlike Quentin doesn’t flirt with every omega that moves not that Peter can do that, godforbid. Ned told him once that if he wanted a knot that badly he should get a dildo because they don’t talk back and Peter’s tempted some days because he’s sure a dildo would take less work to care for than Quentin’s big ass ego.
So maybe that’s why he lingers over Tony Stark’s name and he can’t even remember howhe got his number but its not like he goes to their high school anymore and even when he did he hated Quent so its not like he’d sayanything if Peter sent him something. For science, just to see if Quent really isa jackass or maybe he’s just overreacting.
For S C I E N C EMJ texts and he really shouldn’t.
You should just dump himNed adds in the group chat.
Omg guys stop it! Just talk to him like a normal human!Liz says, remaining the voice of reason.
Talking is for people, not QuentinsMJ sends back and Peter snickers.
Send me saucy pics, will rate them out of tenNed says with three laughing emojis.
We all already vet them the fuck are you on about that pic was cute as fuckMJ says.
Hey wait, is that my skirt? Liz says and Peter looks down. Well, maybe.
Nohe lies.
Omg it is give that back I’ve been looking for it everywhere!
You didn’t notice until we after we vetted the pic I say Peter should be allowed to keep itNed says.
You’re cute as hell Liz but it does look better on PeterMJ adds.
You guys suck. Don’t send that pic to anyone!Liz says.
Peter nods, knowing she’s right when his phone buzzes again and its Quent and the asshole, the asshole!
What, is that it? Gunna send more or are you back to being a tease?
A tease? “Oh fuck you Quentin,” Peter snaps, finding Tony’s number in his phone again and sending him the damn picture. He knows he’s being stupid but it makes him feel better so… that’s not an excuse but whatever, he doesn’t care.
Tony’s response doesn’t take long.
Um.
Think that was meant for someone else.
I deleted it obvs.
Because like
I’m not a piece of shit
The texts come in quick succession because apparently Tony doesn’t have a thing about double texting, Peter guesses. He considers the response for a moment before he sends something back.
And if I said that was meant for you?
Because that’s what he wanted to know, right? Except sending out racy pictures to people who didn’t ask for them is kind of creepy and now Peter feels bad because it’s not like he enjoys it when it happens to him. Mostly because the pictures always look like fucking prisonsecurityphotos and whether or not he asked for them pictures with poor composition are a total turn off. His phone buzzes, then buzzes again right away and Peter figures either MJ dropped something horrible like the Grinch sucking a dick into the group chat again or its Tony. He sighs, picking it up and resigning himself to his fate either way when he notices its Tony.
AFHPWURE
Ok
What the fuck did I do to get this luck lmao
This is like
The best gift when studying
That skirt is so much more interesting than physics
Kinda mad I deleted it now
Peter smiles a little and sends it back just to be polite like that. Tony keeps up the trend of responding quickly, phone buzzing as his messages come in.
Bro
I don’t want to look the gift horse in the mouth
But also what prompted this
But also also I kind of don’t care
I am 100% on board with whatever this is
Like probably even 200%
Or more
Point is you’re the best
And also like really cute
I don’t remember you being that cute
Peter reads all the messages and laughs, shaking his head because apparently Tony says whatever is on his mind but, for science, he figures maybe he’ll send him a little something else too. It’s always good to try and repeat your results, right? So he abandons his desk and homework in favor of his bed, carefully laying himself down on his stomach as he hikes the skirt a little higher around his waist so the pleats sit justlong enough to cover his ass as he opens the camera on his phone. He watches the mirror in the background as he lifts his legs, crossing them at the ankles and spreading his legs just a bit. Its more than a little suggestive, if Tony takes the time to look in the background of the picture anyway. From the front is a pretty cute picture with half his face in the frame while the rest of it is taken up with an artful shot of his body. With the skirt hiked up like that its still pretty risqué but the devil is in the details.
He sends it off to Tony, for science reasons purely or at least that’s what he tells himself anyway. If he’s honest he kind of likes the attention because he missesit and it always feels like he has to jump through hoops to get Quent to pay him any attention at all. Tony doesn’t seem to need as much plying.
Omg
I’m so torn
On one hand, physics exam. Worth 40% of my grade
On the other hand
He sends back a close up of Peter’s picture with a red circle drawn around the mirror and a lot of exclamation points.
You see my dilemma, surely
And like
I’m good at physics I can probably pass without studying
So, science concluded, Quentin is a fucking dick and Peter bites his lip, unsure what to do here so he drops a message into the group chat fully anticipating Liz judging him so he’s a little surprised when she answers first and tells him to just dump Quent. MJ and Ned respond ‘fuck him’ at the same time and Peter considers his options for a moment.
*
Its not like Peter meantfor this to happen but Quent was being a total assholeagain and Peter has been told he’s got the patience of a saint but even he has his limits. So he had dumped Quent maybe a little too publically considering he told him to stuff it in the middle of the cafeteria before storming off and Tony happened to send one of his adorably stupid jokes at the right time. But still, its not like he meantfor it to lead to him in the back seat of Tony’s car with his arms wrapped around Tony’s neck as Tony guides his hips the way he wants. “Yes, baby, just like that,” Tony tells him as he moves, “feel so good,” he murmurs as he moves one of his hands up Peter’s bare back.
He moans at the praise, pressing his forehead to Tony’s. “Yes,” he murmurs into Tony’s mouth as he kisses him, “touch me.” Tony does, hands roaming up his back and down again, brushing over his hips, up his sides and down his chest. Tony touches him like he can’t get enough and Peter feels the sharp flush of arousal at Tony’s hands explore his body.
Tony lets out a soft groan, “so wet for me baby,” Tony tells him, shifting his hips up into Peter’s.
Peter nods, breathless. “Like the way you touch me,” he murmurs into Tony’s mouth as he kisses him. Tony reaches up and brushes his fingers across Peter’s cheek and he can feelthe way he produces more slick in response.
“What, never had anyone take care of you?” Tony murmurs, eyes soft and caring as he runs his fingers through Peter’s hair. He shakes his head because Quent wasn’t like… badat sex, actually he was pretty good at it, but Peter kind of always felt like a means to an end rather than an actual participant. Tony wasn’t like that from the start. Peter knew as soon as Tony saw him, conveniently wearing that skirt he’d first sent pictures of himself in, he’d wanted to fuck him but he let Peter make the first move and made sure everything he did was okay. Peter wouldn’t have thought he’d like that much, he’s always had a bit of a thingfor bad boys but its not like Tony doesn’t look the part. He just doesn’t act it and Peter finds that surprisingly attractive.
“Up, baby,” Tony murmurs, patting the underside of Peter’s ass and he frowns.
“What? No,” he says, full well knowing that he sounds whiney and Tony laughs.
“Shh, baby s’not like that. Lay back, let me take care of you,” he murmurs, leaning forward and kissing Peter softly as he guides him off. Peter still makes a noise at the loss but lets Tony lay him out over the seat of the car. It’s awkward, in the cramped space, but Tony makes do as he settles between Peter’s legs. His hand curls around the outside of Peter’s right knee, thumb softly caressing the skin there as he looks down at Peter. “Fuckyou are gorgeous,” he murmurs, leaning in and pressing a kiss to the inside of his thigh.
He sucks in a breath and Tony smiles at him as he kisses him again, carefully sucking at the soft skin of his inner thigh. Peter’s breath hitches again as Tony moves a little lower, kisses soft and sweet as he moves his way down. His legs fall further apart mostly of their own accord, a silent invitation for Tony to keep going. “Tony,” Peter all but whines as Tony takes his time.
Tony lifts his head from where he’s nipping at the inside of Peter thigh, “yeah, baby?” he murmurs.
Peter makes a soft, frustrated noise. “Give me more than that,” he tells Tony.
Tony grins, giving the inside of Peter’s though one last kiss before he shifts his position. “Hm, guess I should give you a little something for wearing this, shouldn’t I?” he asks, toying with the edge of Peter’s skirt.
“Wanted you to want me,” Peter tells him and Tony laughs.
“Mission fucking accomplished. But you could have done that wearing a paper bag,” Tony says.
Peter lets out a breathless laugh, “flatterer,” he accuses lightly.
Tony shakes his head though, “mm, I’m not much of a flatterer unless it’s earned. And fuck, its like you’re made just for me you’re so perfect,” Tony tells him as he lifts his skirt and licks up the length of his dick, root to tip and Peter gasps, one hand flying into Tony’s hair as he takes Peter into his mouth.
“Tony!” Peter gasps, grip on his hair tightening and Tony moans around him. Peter does his best to keep his hips from jerking involuntarily as Tony works him over. He’s clearly practiced, skilled with the use of his tongue and Peter moans loudly, back arching as Tony’s head bobs over him.
His breath comes faster as he moans and this mostly only seems to encourage Tony, who enthusiastically throws himself into it and Peter finds that almost as hot as the blowjob. Quent didn’t really go down on him much, always complained that he was too loud and squirmed too much to make it worth his time but Tony doesn’t seem to have a problem with it. Judging from the way his fingers flex on Peter’s thighs and the way he moans when Peter does he’d say Tony actively likes his squirminess so Quent can suck it. Figuratively seems how he couldn’t be assed to do it literally.
Tony shifts a little, shifting as his fingers trail up Peter’s inner thigh until they hit his ass. Peter gasps as he runs his fingers over his hole, teasing lightly. “Tony, please,” Peter tells him, tugging on his hair a bit as encouragement. Tony moans softly and presses two fingers in and Peter can’t help the way his hips jerk up a little. Tony doesn’t complain about it as he fucks into Peter with his fingers. Peter’s breath is coming in ragged as the pleasure builds and he bites his lip.
“Tony,” Peter says, grip on Tony’s hair tight. “Tony ‘m gunna,” Peter stops, moaning as Tony’s fingers curl a little inside him and his hips buck up again. He shifts his legs so they’re open a little wider and Tony moans around him again. Peter throws his head back, biting his lip. “Tony ‘m gunna cum,” he tells him.
Tony takes that as encouragement to pick up the pace and the shit he’s doing with his tongue is fucking sinfuland Peter finally gets who people likethis kind of thing. “Tony,” he says, one hand gripping the seat he’s on hard and the other still tightly woven in Tony’s hair. “Tony ‘m gunna… gunna- oh, oh!” he says, head thrown back as he cums, letting Tony suck him through it. He allows himself to relax for a few moments before he musters the energy to look down at Tony, who looks pleased with himself.
“How’d you like that, baby?” he asks and Peter lets out a soft laugh.
“I think I might be in love with you,” he says, only half joking.
*
Quent looks pissed and Peter doesn’t really give a shit. “Oh shut upQuentin, this is your own fault for not appreciating me enough,” Peter tells him.
Quentin rolls his eyes, “oh, like you can do any better, Peter,” he snaps.
Peter snorts, “it didn’t even take me twenty four hours to find better Quent. You suck thatmuch and not even literally! God, you’re such a prick you couldn’t even be bothered to go down on me once and a damn while!” he says, throwing his hands up in frustration. He ignores the laughter of his classmates because Quent was the one who started yelling in the hallway so this is hisfault really. He resents that Quent looks so mad about this because Peter was happy to have just dumped him and that could have been the end of it but no.
“Dude, not going down on you is automatic dumpage material considering I knowhe expected you to do it,” MJ says off to the side.
“Oh fuck off,” Quent snaps at her but she looks nonplussed.
“Not my fault you’re the fucking worst Quentin. If you wanted Peter so stick around maybe you shouldn’t have made him cry at least twice a week. Didn’t think I had to write that one down for you,” she says, rolling her eyes.
That earns a laugh out of his classmates too and if MJ weren’t so cool about the whole thing, and if they weren’t currently surrounded by witnesses, Peter doesn’t really want to consider what Quent would do. Instead of dealing with her he turns to glare at Peter, “whatever the hell you picked up so isn’t better than me,” he says and Peter squints at him.
“Oh my god, Quent its not even a competition. It would be cruel to stick you in a competition with Tony anyway; its like throwing a fish on land and having it race a cheetah. It’s sad and stupid and all you’ll do is flop around and be pathetic. The fact that he’s better than you isn’t even something I need to think about, it’s just obvious,” he says.
At least Tony listens when he talks, and he likes Star Wars too and he didn’t make fun of him for wanting to build Star Wars Lego things with Ned. Actually he sort of invited himself along and they all had a greattime and ordered pizza because Tony’s not a total dick.
Quent turns an unflattering shade of red at his words and he reaches out for Peter but someone pulls him back. He looks behind him to find Liz there, Ned right beside her looking surprisingly ready to fight considering Ned can’t even manage to win a battle with finding matching socks. “Leave him alone Quentin, he said your done and you are. You don’t get to decide your not,” Liz tells him.
“Also,” Peter adds, “and this is the important part- I moved onand let me tell you a god damn rock would have been more affectionate than you ever were. And wash your god damn football shit, it smells like jock strap and dead things,” he snaps and his classmates erupt in laughter so hard they don’t cut it out this time, laughing over whatever it is that Quentin says back as Liz drags him off.
“Okay,” Ned says once they’re outside. “That was badass,” he tells Peter.
“Good for you,” MJ tells him. “You should have throat punched him though.”
Liz frowns, “why do you always suggest doing that?” she asks.
MJ shrugs, “always wanted to see someone get throat punched and Quentin has a punchable throat,” she says. “By the way just because Ned approves of your new guy that you moved on to waytoo fast doesn’t mean he’s made it past me. Liz doesn’t count because she’s a pushover,” MJ tells him.
“I am not! Just because I don’t suggest punching people doesn’t mean I put up with people’s crap. And for the record if I had to watch anyone get throat punched I would definitely want it to be Quentin,” she tells him. “He does have a punchable throat. And a punchable everything else too.”
“Yeah, but he’s hot,” Peter says, offering up Quentin’s only redeeming quality.
MJ makes a face, “okay,” she says sarcastically and Peter resents that. They all know Quentin is hot and has nothing else to offer so he feels he should get credit there even if he only gets credit there. God, at least Tony has a personality.

I’m Crazy...
I’m insane...
I've lost the plot..
I'm hopeless..
I'm worthless..
I'm unloveable..
I'm pathetic..
I'm weird..
I'm strange..
I'm not okay...
I'm a psycho... (ok this one for me might be true... question it, go on try it! i dare you! ;0 lol)
BUT...
I AM!!!
Those are just some of the things my own mind tells me on a daily basis ... yes here it comes a blog about anxiety and depression... omg!! i know right the cliche of it all. like who hasnt written a blog about depression before ...
oh woe is me! am i right?
well... thats where you're wrong!
(before i start i want no sympathy im not writing this for the "aww's" and the "bless her" comments, i dont want sympathy or empathy ... this is simply because ive experienced and lived with depression for about 14 years and if i can help one person feel better about themselves by reading this or help someone realise that they are not alone then, well, i can rest easy tonight. If anything i want to empower people)
I lived for so many years in the dark, keeping all of this too myself and you know what it did? absolutely sweet FA apart from making me so much worse, it gave ammunition to those little voices, telling me all of the above, making them win!
i didnt realise until about 2-3 years ago that talking about my experiences and how im feeling would help.
i didnt realise until about 2-3 years ago how many other people around me were going through the EXACT same thing.
Two and a half years ago i was a completely different person, i was sheltered, i was in a very toxic relationship ... with myself. Most people would disagree, they'd say i was actually in a toxic relationship with my ex partner; but i cant blame him. Dont get me wrong he was toxic and looking back i was lucky to get out when i did, however i am also grateful too him, because he showed me exactly what i dont want in my life. and being fair to him i'd lived with my own toxicity in my mind for a good 10 years before him, so god forbid i'd give him the satisfaction of all that praise coz by god did i do a damned good number on myself without any of his help. ;)
In all honestly though, i do blame myself and my own mind, because 2 and a half years ago those little voices in my own head were the only thing i was listening to, they were winning. I wasnt listening to my family who were worried sick about me, who were practically begging me to tell them what was going on in my head, who i shut out, ignored and pushed away because i couldnt cope and you know what? they didnt deserve that at all. i live everyday regretting that i put them through that, So i now live everyday hoping to make them proud of me and live each and everyday with a promise. I do however live every day regretting that i didnt let them in earlier because if i had of i wouldnt have gone through the hell i did and i wouldnt have genuinely believed "this is what i deserve" "no-one else will love you" "no-one else wants you" "no-one cares"... i wouldnt have had too live a LIE.
The lie was people did love me, i just couldnt see it, people did care about me, i just wouldnt hear it, i needed their help, i just wouldnt speak it; because at that point in time my own mind was telling me that i didnt deserve any of that, and that nobody would ever want to do that for me. So i found sactuary in a toxic person who in the long run made me the strong person i am today because if it werent for him i'd never have the confidence in myself knowing what i overcame, and if it werent for him i wouldnt have seen my family and loved ones take charge and say "Leanne enough is enough" .. they gave me the metaphorical slap across the face i damned well needed and brought me back to reality, they categorically wouldnt allow that behaviour to carry on anymore and for that i will forever be grateful!
i made a promise to them that day that i would always tell them when i was getting low again and i made a promise to myself that day that i would keep them in the forefront of my mind in all of my decisions and i would also promise to try and help anyone else who was ever in the same position i was in.
depression is a funny old thing, everyone will experience some form of depression throughout their life, some people are genetically wired to experience it, some people will experience it from a young age, some dont experience it until very late on in life, some experience it from sad/happy/overwhelming life events, some unlucky souls just never find happiness. but no matter what EVERYONE will, at somepoint experience depression. in this blog im going to try and explain how i've learned to manage and cope with mine.
A bit of a backstory of my depression, it started around the age of 14-15, my depression. I dont know where it came from but it was right around the time of my GCSE's, college, boys, hormones, and being diagnosed with PCOS (for those of you who dont know what that is its Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) i was told at a young age of 14 that i had some sort of syndrome which "would only matter when i got older", and that i had some of the prettiest ovaries the sonographer and gyneacologist had ever seen... in hindsight that wasnt going to be the compliment i first thought it was or the dismissive statement they portrayed it and brushed it off as, at all! THAT diagnosis changed alot of my life, however i will get back to that.
As most teens do around here I started studying for my GCSE's at just 15 years old. i was so stressed out i started actually hearing a screaming voice in my head. i suffered panic attacks daily, sometimes a few attacks a day, and that is where my anxiety started and then, good old depression smashed me in the face. i found the more stressed i became, the more id hear that screaming inside my head which then lead me to thinking " holy fucking shitballs im hearing voices im actually insane" therefore leading to more anxiety and panic attacks. so much so i would come home exhausted at 4pm everyday crawl into my pyjamas and climb into bed ready to do it all again the following day. (dont get me wrong i sat most nights on msn using the latest flashing emojis for EACH and EVERY letter of the alphabet, to the point it looked more like hyroglyphics and obviously getting the colours just right with the codes to make your name and status show in a rainbow. but that was all done in pj's curled up in bed because i couldnt manage much else ... however, if my mam asks i was revising and doing my homework THE. WHOLE. TIME, not talking to my friends about how hot a certain crush's bum looked that day ha! am i right! :P xoxo)
This was all a massive thing for me to go through aswell, due to the fact my dad has mental health issues and lives with schizophrenia, so, naturally at this point, you can imagine i was picturing myself in padlocked straight jackets and padded cells, talking away to the screaming voice in my head. the funniest thing was this screaming voice wasnt saying anything nasty or bad it was just my thoughts screaming at me like everything was angry, so genuinely just everyday life thoughts but those screaming at me, like, imagine thinking "leanne dont forget to pack your PE kit" but in the voice of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket... it. was. TERRIFYING!
Anyways, so yes high school was a massive contributor, then i made the choice to leave college at 17 because i, like many others, didnt have the faintest clue what i wanted to be when i grew up (little did i know id live the life of peter pan and neverland would be my sesh house OIOI!!!) In leaving college i went into full time work, as a 'temp job' until i decided what i was going to do... unfortunately, 8 and a half years later i was still their prisoner! haha, Nah, dont get me wrong i met some absolutely amazing people in that job and i did love it but i knew at the end, if i didnt get out it was going to kill me off. I'd gotten to the point in that job that i cried myself to sleep knowing i had to go back in the next day. that place contributed alot to my depression not because it was a bad job but because id made a wrong decision and was stuck there. i had to leave.
my next massive contributor, and this is where i divulge some of my REAL heartbreaks. PCOS - Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome or what i like to call Poly fucking Cystic fucking Ovary fucking Syndrome or "lets just fuck shit up!" (no im not bitter about it at all lol) because of this shit, from the very young age of 14 (like puberty isnt hard enough - spots, hair in places you never wanted boobs growing overnight, bleeding once a month being the biggest inconvenience) i have also had to deal with weight issues, hersuitism, depression, anxiety, hormones that sent me bat shit crazy, pain, headaches, fatigue, you name it i had it. but the biggest heartbreak, being told that id always have difficulty concieving and carrying a child. Anyone who knows me, and knows me well, knows i have always wanted to be a mam. (and not the sesh mam who looks after all my drunken idiotic friends on a night out ... coz i swear thats all they ever think i do lol) I mean a real mam, to a real baby. and being told at a young age that i had the prettiest ovaries the gyneacologist had ever seen wasnt the compliment i thought it was because it turned out my ovaries were absolutely covered in cysts. And for years i have tried to have a baby but alas nothing ever happens. i've had a few close calls and ive miscarried, or at least i think i did, the test came back positive but then about 3 days after that pretty pink second line, i had the heaviest period i had ever had for around 4 hours and then my body went back to normal as if nothing happened. it broke my heart.
They say the human body is delicate and intricate and should be treated with respect... i say its a machine and its a absolute twat at times, and why should i respect what in essence has caused me heartbreak from a young age FOR NO FUCKING REASON. but hey ho... life. goes. on.
so... thats my life story or just a snippet of it. and some of the reasons why i have depression.
heres how i cope...
Well, for a long time.. and i mean a VERY LONG time i didnt. i hid it, i hid away from the world. i drank alot. i avoided family, i avoided my best friends, i avoided anything that would have brought me back to reality.
For a long time though, thats what i needed. now im not saying running away from your issues is easy and thats what you should do because its definitely not. im saying i NEEDED to do it at the time because i had no other way of coping and i NEEDED too to learn what not to do in the future. So masking, for me, was better than facing things 'alone'. In that time though, i made my issues alot worse and in fact caused more issues. it hurt my family, my friends and well hurt myself too, because in the long run i still had to sober up and i still had to deal with the same issues that got me down in the first place, i ended up in debt which contributed further too my issues. I did some very silly things which when i look back on them now i could have hurt so many people. i took an overdose of painkillers at one point around 2 and a half years ago. I felt so weak i saw no other outcome but instantly regretted doing it and made myself sick so that they came back up. i've told my mother and close friends about this previously but i think to really show how much i've learned and to reach out to anyone who is feeling the same way i did, to tell them IT REALLY DOES GET BETTER AND EASIER. i think saying that, shows my honesty throughout this post and allows for my experience and honesty really show that i want to help anyone going through the same thing.
Masking just makes the pain go away for a short period of time. learning from your pain and making it your strength is how you really overcome your own mind and depression.
It wasnt until i realised i was never alone, just how selfish and stupid id been all that time, because in masking, hiding and running away, id stupidly stopped myself from a faster recovery, less heartache, less pain and mental and physical torture. and really i stopped myself from helping others in the same position as me.
it wasnt until i learned to make my pain my strength that i truly found peace in who i am.
i still have days where those voices wont shut up, and they win and thats ok.
i still have days where i cannot climb out of bed and thats ok.
i still have days where i cry and the pain is too much and thats ok.
because i learned all of it really is ok! everyone has those same thoughts the same feelings the same illnesses. and i know that tomorrow WILL be a better day.
you just need to learn how to make it and own it as your own!
nothing has changed for me, all of those things are still true they're still real, my body hasnt miraculously healed itself, i still made poor life choices, it hasnt changed my hormonal imbalances but it has changed my mindset. it has changed my life. i made a choice to change my mindset and not let it beat me i decided to let people in. my family are my guardian angels because they never gave up on me, they dragged it out of me and frogmarched me to the doctors for the help i needed but some people dont have that support in their lives.
i'm lucky enough now, to have lived with this for long enough to know my signs, and when i know what i call, "going dark" is coming. basically when i start slipping and losing control of it again, i identify it and know how to manage it head on. unfortunately my body because of the stupid "intricate machine" i have and how broken it is (believe me the day i can swap out into an AI robot body imma sign straight up for that shit imma have me a body like Jennifer Anniston) my body however tends to go into a meltdown, i end up with more migraines, pain and infections. i also get extremely tired to the point i can sleep for a good 15-20 hours a day and thats not me being lazy (although if sleeping were an olympic sport i'd be the universal champion of it BED=LIFE) thats really me needing to reset. at that point in time when i know this is coming, thats when i reach out; i tell my friends and my family "I'm not okay" because i know now i can do that, i can talk to them.
i, personally, take medication daily, and for some reason we live in a society where people are actually shamed for doing so. i know if i dont take those 2 little tablets every day i will lose control and become a shell of who i really am. my seratonin levels drop and i practically become a robot barely functioning. so why should i be ashamed of those 2 little 'happy pills' which make me the person i want to be and know i truly am! no chemical imbalance is going to get the better of me! if i can have the help, im damned sure going to take it. along with the happy pills, aswell as alot of sleep, sunbeds, spending time with family and friends whenever i possibly can, i now have a job that i love, i also retrained as a beautician, and i love going to the gym and swimming whenever i can, ive found i can manage mine alot better. one thing that massively changed my life was limitting when i drink. i rarely go out drinking anymore and the reason is because i know deep down i will end up in a very low state afterwards. alcohol is a depressant and i wont allow that kind of thing to get me down. so now instead i choose to drink once a month if not less. i havent cut out the drink completely i just know if i want to get blinding drunk i need to be in a very happy place to do so. so i am careful where i drink, who i drink with and what i do whilst im drinking and unfortunately much to my neighbours disgust that tends to be in the house whilst singing along to whitney houston or disney songs at the top of my lungs, but thats how i know i'll not plummet the day after, and lets face it anyone whose heard me singing knows whitney had nothing on me ;)
In all seriousness though, the best advice i can give anyone living with depression is talk to someone, talk to your family, talk to your neighbour, talk to your friends, talk to your doctor, talk to your dog, your cat, the postman, the man on the bus who sits oddly close too you... just talk to anyone. tell them how you are feeling tell them your experiences. tell them what is getting to you. Find someone who you can trust, find a stranger. write it all down in a blog. video it. GET IT ALL OFF YOUR CHEST! SAY IT OUT LOUD! Just. Bloody. Talk! please!
everyones experiences with depression are different some people mask it, some people show it, some people (like me now) shout it from the fucking rooftops because im not afraid of my emotions anymore.
everyones ways of coping are different too, some people find the gym helps, some rely on medication, some rely on talking therapies... there are so many different ways of coping out there now... the only way that doesnt work is not admitting something is wrong and fighting your own mind without help, knowing something isnt right but still doing nothing about it. The only way of not coping is living a lie, you dont have to do this alone!
Basically do those things just for you, the ones you've always wanted to do! get that tattoo you wanted, quit your job, retrain, change your hair colour, buy that car, buy that dog, book that holiday.
do what makes YOU happy!
live for you and open up, people would rather know how you are feeling than see you struggle or ultimately not be here.
open up you never know someone might be feeling the exact same way you are and it could bring you closer.
but remember most importantly:
You ARE NOT Alone..
You ARE NOT Crazy..
You ARE NOT insane..
You HAVE NOT lost the plot..
You ARE NOT hopeless..
You ARE NOT worthless..
You ARE NOT unloveable..
You ARE NOT pathetic..
You ARE NOT weird..
You ARE NOT a psycho..
You ARE NOT strange..
And..
You ARE okay...
You ARE Beautiful..
You ARE Worth it..
YOU ARE Loved
i hope this helps...
thank you ☺

Park Seonghwa is turning out to be the worst roommate you’ve ever had. His little bouts of anger have left scorch marks all over your apartment, and you’re at your wit's end. Too bad you can’t move out until the lease is up.
Genre: fantasy
Warnings: none.
“Seonghwa! You set the fire alarm off again!” You yelled.
Your apartment sprinklers stay spraying in the next second and you sigh. That’s the fourth time this month. Investing in waterproof binders for your papers was turning out to be a good idea.
“Sorry, Y/N!” Seonghwa called back.
You climbed out of your bed and started on your way downstairs to tell management to cancel the fire truck and turn off the sprinklers.
When you’d first moved into this apartment, you thought living with another fire elementalist would be easy. Other magic users tended to look down on you for being hot headed, quick to anger and violent, so living with another fire bender should have been great. You couldn’t have been more wrong.
Seonghwa seemed to have no control over his powers at all. Maybe it had something to do with him being born under a sign of fire. Either way, his powers seemed impossible comfort him to handle. Every other week there was a new scorch mark on the wall of his room. Even so little as a bowl of spicy ramyun had him burping little fireballs for the rest of the day. And God forbid someone actually make him angry. Seonghwa had the shortest fuse on earth and anything from touching his bag to walking into his room uninvited could set him off. One time you’d brought a date home without telling him first and long story short you were never getting the security deposit back for this place. And honestly you were getting fed up.
“Seonghwa, come here! We need to talk.” you seethed when you got back to the apartment.
Seonghwa came out of his room, which you were forbidden to enter, steaming. Literally, his body temperature was so high that the water from the sprinklers was evaporating off of him. His skin was probably hot enough to burn up his clothes, which explained why he was only wearing a pair of (probably flame retardant) pajama pants. However, you were determined not to be distracted by the planes of his chest and how low slung the pants were.
“Look, Y/N, I’m sorry-“ he starts but you cut him off.
“Sorry isn’t gonna cut it anymore Seonghwa! This has gone on long enough. I can’t leave until the lease is up, so you need to learn some control.” you say, prodding Seonghwa in the chest.
If you weren’t a fire elementalist yourself, the touch probably would have burned you. Seonghwa stumbled back a step, not used to you being so angry. Honestly, you thought you might lose your cool too.
“Don’t talk to me about control.” Seonghwa growled, pushing you back a step, out of his personal space.
His eyes flashed orange, a signal that he was about to really lose it.
“I’m going out, don’t wait up for me.” he growled and brushed past you.
“Hey, Park Seonghwa, don’t you walk away from-“ you started cut off by the door slamming.
“Me.” You finished lamely, and went back to your room to start drying out your things with hot air.
The whole time you worked you grumbled about Seonghwa and his little tirades. He got back around midnight, and you heard the door open and lock. You had decided to ignore Seonghwa until morning, but you guessed two minutes after midnight technically counted as morning. Seonghwa knocked on your door gently.
“Y/N, we need to talk...” he says.
You sigh and tell him to come on in. He’s put a shirt back on now and looks calmer. At least he’s not actively steaming anymore. His eyes have cooled down from a bright fiery orange to a more subdued amber color.
“Seonghwa, I can’t keep having my room flooded every other week because you lost your temper.” You explain.
Seonghwa nodded solemnly, placing the pillow back on your bed.
“I know. You have an early class tomorrow . Go sleep in my room tonight, I’ll finish drying your things.” he offers.
You raise an eyebrow at him. He must feel really bad if he’s offering his bed to you. Seonghwa is usually horribly protective of his space and belongings. But he does love to clean, so you accept his offer. You’re tired anyway, so you pay Seonghwa on the shoulder in thanks and then head across the apartment to his room.
Seonghwa’s room smells like smoke in best way possible. You fall into his bed, exhaustion catching up with you, and you fall asleep easily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You go three weeks without another incident, which means it’s high time for Seonghwa to blow his top.
“You brought someone over without asking me again?!”
He’s agitated again, walking around and checking everything is still in its place. You have no idea how Seonghwa knows this. Does he have an intruder spell cast on the apartment?
“You weren’t home! And I live here too, am I not allowed to have people in my own apartment?” you shoot back.
Seonghwa’s eyes fire up, tilting into the danger zone again.
“It’s not that, I just want to know if someone’s been over.” He counters, “I don’t bring people over without asking you!”
“You don’t even bring people over!”
Seonghwa breathes heavily through his nose.
“You can’t just get mad at me for living in my own apartment and blow something up every five minutes! You act like a child throwing a tantrum.” You continue, properly angry this time.
“I’m sick and tired of you-“ Seonghwa cuts you off, grabbing you by the wrist and tugging you out of the apartment.
“Hey, let me go!” you struggle to free yourself, but Seonghwa is stronger, easily dragging you to the stairs.
“What are you-“ you start but Seonghwa cuts you off.
“Shut up, Y/N.” He bites out, shoving you upstairs.
His voice sounds weird and growly, so you seal your mouth. You may be flame retardant, but even fire elementalists could be burned. And while you were pretty powerful yourself, you knew Seonghwa’s flames could burn ten times hotter than yours. Not to mention if he blew up in the stairwell it would cause serious consequences to the other residents. So you tripped after him silently,  feeling heat roll off of him in waves. He led you all the way up to the roof, pulling you out. For a moment you just stand there in the wind staring at Seonghwa.
“I don’t like letting people I don’t know into the house. It’s not that I don’t trust your ability to gauge someone’s character. I just prefer to know.” Seonghwa sighs, some of the fight leaking out of him.
“Well, next time I’ll send you a text. But is it really that big of a deal? You’re such a hot head.” You huff.
“I am not!” It was like in a second Seonghwa was all fired up again.
“Yes you are! You’re so sensitive and particular about the apartment that I can’t stand it!”
“Maybe I wouldn’t be so ‘annoying’ if you just respected my boundaries!”
“Maybe if we talked about it instead of you blowing up in my face over every little thing!”
You were all up in Seonghwa’s space again, prodding him in the chest repeatedly. He was progressively getting more riled up, stepping back from you slowly.
“Get out of my face!”
“Or what? You gonna set my bed on fire or something?”
“Back up while I’m still being nice.”
“You call this nice? You’re an absolute nightmare-“
“I said back off.” Seonghwa’s voice came out deep and growly.
Inhuman almost. You stumbled back a step, surprised.
“What the fuck? Are you threatening me?”
“I’m warning you.”
Ok what the fuck was up with his voice? He twitched suddenly, violently. You became concerned when he doubled over.
“Hwa? Are you okay?”
“Y/N, back up.” he half growled as his face contorted in pain. He rolled his neck and shoulders looking like he was straining. What the fuck was going on?!
Black spots started appearing on Seonghwa’s skin and you were getting seriously worried. Was he burning up from the inside or something?
Seonghwa fell to his knees and you rushed forward to help, but he stopped you in your tracks, speaking in the deep growling voice again.
“Stay over there.”
Then he started to change. And grow. You heard the sickening crunch of his bones changing, watched with horrified eyes as Seonghwa shifted in front of you. Was he a werewolf? Though rare, they weren’t unheard of, though you’d never met one before. But Seonghwa kept growing, far past the size of a normal werewolf. And there was no fur sprouting from his body, but the black dots were spreading and expanding quickly. The whole transformation was over in thirty seconds and suddenly Seonghwa’s behavior made a lot more sense. He wasn’t a fire elementalist at all.
Roughly the size of a Leer jet and black as night, Seonghwa’s dragon form was quite frankly terrifying. His head was the size of a large SUV and you stumbled back a few steps when he lowered down to catch your eyes. His eye (you could only see one) was like a burning ember, staring you down. He spread his wings, his wingspan easily surpassing the size of the roof.
“Are you scared now?” he rumbled and you nodded frantically.
He snorted, nearly toppling you over with the force of his breath.
“Holy shit...” you whispered, staring up at your roommate.
He smiled, or at least you hoped it was a smile, showing off his sharp teeth.
“Can I... touch you?” you asked, timidly.
Seonghwa sat down, laying his gigantic head on the roof.
“Sure, knock yourself out, kid.” He rumbled.
You approached slowly and laid your hand against his snout. He breathed out, the hot air ruffling your hair. His scales felt like smooth glass. You slowly traced around his whole form, careful of the spikes on his tail. When you made it back up to his head he cracked an eye open at you.
“So this is where you run off to when you get all mad? You go all dragon mode on the roof?” you ask.
Seonghwa is not amused, snapping his teeth at you. You yelp and fall back on your butt, causing Seonghwa to laugh again.
“I’m going for a quick flight. You go back downstairs, we’ll talk later.” he says, stretching his wings.
“Can I ride you?” you ask without thinking.
Seonghwa glares at you and beats his wings twice, soaring up and away from the roof.
“Don’t push your luck.” He says before flying away.
You stay up on the roof for a while wondering how long he’ll be gone for. After thirty minutes you head back downstairs to wait. 
As you looked around the apartment you began to realize why Seonghwa was so agitated about certain things. He probably saw the apartment as a sort of lair, and his belongings as his hoard. Having dragon ancestry would definitely make him more sensitive about things like people coming over or eating his cereal. (You had apologized and bought him two more boxes, but he still didn’t speak to you for a week.) It also explained how often his powers bubbled out of control, because they weren’t powers at all. And his tendency to not leave the apartment unless he absolutely had to. But one thing that you couldn’t quite understand, was his tolerance of sharing his apartment with you. Regardless of whether you crossed boundaries or not, dragons were notoriously solitary creatures. So why was he living with you in the first place?

mini cryptid hunter!bts au bc i was enabled
@clockwork-lullaby this was probably more than you were asking for but it’s happening
yoongi
the “logical” cryptid hunter. if you watch buzzfeed unsolved just think shane LOL
yoongi just has a really specific fear and it’s of demons
grew up in a really religious church playing the piano as a kid so he always heard about “exorcisms” being done on the church grounds late at night from his friends
yoongi isn’t as dumb but i mean he’s bored on a friday night and his parents are out for their anniversary so he goes and sneaks in with them to the church and the lights are on and he actually encounters a possessed church goer getting cleansed by a few priests but it’s just. like not working?
the person is absolutely livid and seething and speaking in a crackly voice and suddenly the demon notices him and his friends run but yoongi is just stone still
before the demon can try and hurt him it’s exorcised and yoongi is completely mortified and the priests are like “kid omg why are you here you could have DIED” and they tell him to never speak of it to anyone and yoongi’s smart enough to know that what he’s just seen is something way beyond his years
in fact he’s repressed it so much that even when he’s older sometimes he has to remind himself it happened and now hunting demons is just his damn calling
100% carries a dagger or something dipped in holy water and probably knows a bunch of bible verses that’ll make a demon squeal right off the top of his head
when not hunting demons, he’s usually just making fun of namjoon for getting spooked all the time LOL
him and hoseok are like the lethal duo for demons like god forbid you’re a demon and get on their bad side bc u will be finessed tf into a pile of ash
probably naps on the way to haunted sites and the first maknae to rouse him from his sleep is carrying him to their destination
(but never jimin bc jimin is not a heathen like the others ofc)
namjoon
ok i’m gonna crack on my boyfriend real quick: DUDE IS SUCH A BABY OH MY GOD!!! HOW DID HE GET HERE!!! WHY IS HE DOING THIS!!!!! WHY COULDN’T HE MAKE FRIENDS WITH NORMAL PEOPLE WHO DON’T HUNT THE SUPERNATURAL
he’s v smart and reads up on lots of folklore from all around the world so he’s your go to when you wanna figure out what’s been spooking the locals
namjoon says he doesn’t believe in the supernatural but this is usually said in a small, squeaky chant under his breath as he wanders through the cemetery during witching hour with his six dumb ass friends and why did he have to start that casual conversation with hoseok that one time in biology-
has never had a definite brush with the supernatural BUT 9/10 he’s gonna think a floorboard creaking is the hounds of hell coming after him
it’s even worse that he’s clumsy
if jin isn’t holding onto him he’s most likely gonna run and fall when something remotely worrying happens and they aren’t carrying an injured namjoon through another haunted house again, goddamit joon
his favorite subject is aliens and he’s constantly letting the boys know that they are out there and they are avoiding the human race bc the human race is, in fact, super fucking stupid
is also stuck between wanting to get abducted so he can be left alone or wanting the rest of the world to get abducted so he can be left alone
tough choices, really
if shit goes down namjoon is either hiding behind yoongi or hoseok and he only trusts those two to get him out safely
“the rest of you are despicably hopeless” “you trip on dust, namjoon”
jin
the Responsible Adult
also easily spooked as fuck skfjekfi
ngl he’s only slightly more calm than namjoon but that is not,,,, by much
they usually cling to each other to calm each other down (the fucking waves of anxiety rolling off of the both of them is truly just. terrible. they’re both so nervous you can feel it from right at home behind the screen of your phone from which you’re reading this)
jin babbles when he’s scared too, and starts singing old nursery rhymes his mom sang him when he was still scared of the monsters under his bed
but ok. his reflexes are WAY better than namjoon’s bc where namjoon is “scream and run”, jin’s is “punch and run”
dude don’t even know what he saw but he’s already swinging
jin knows ghosts are real because he had an imaginary friend as a child who resembled the old owner of his house pretty spot on
since he figured that out, he can’t sleep in his old room alone any more and will use any excuse in the book to share with his parents when he visits
jin is always carrying snacks for the boys bc cryptid hunting is brutal man,, here’s a protein bar and some holy water
uses a fanny pack to carry said snacks and while yoongi has made every joke in the book abt it, who is the one carrying the antiseptic in a conveniently stored place when said min yoongi gets a cut hm
hoseok 
ok ok hoseok had a somewhat similar experience to yoongi as a kid and is also a great demon hunter
his family taught him about the evil shits as a kid so he’s always been aware of them even if kids always called him dumb for thinking they were real
uniquely enough, his choice of weapon is a bow and arrow (also dipped in holy water but depending on what they hunt, he could use anything speared by his arrow)
he really REALLY loves hunting famous lore tho like one time they actually tried to find bigfoot and he was so excited the whole time he couldn’t sleep. he learned the mating call and everything
(yoongi brought earplugs specifically for this reason)
he used to be easily spooked as a kid but now he’s steeled his nerves, if only to become the best monster hunter he can be
does copious amounts of research with joonie (listen ok they have sleepovers together and just geek out over the possibilities of some cryptid existing somewhere and hoseok gets stars in his eyes imagining what could be. namjoon loves analyzing the logic and sets hoseok on the right path since he tends to get a bit daydreamy when it comes to the famous stuff)
imagine him just freakin slaying a demon in front of the boys and getting a cocky lil smirk on his face
“calm down buffy, your ego is gonna be too big to fit in the van home”
jimin
ngl first thing he thinks about when his friends talk abt the supernatural is unicorns and fairies
he’s not v acquainted with the darker stuff
honestly doesn’t know why he’s hanging out with them all but he’s just happy to be here
always asks questions about what the boys know or have experienced. he’s really interested and he gets v empathetic
“no taehyung we can’t watch the poltergeist tonight, you know how uncomfortable it makes namjoon and jin” “we hunt these things daily u know that right”
v interested in magic
anything the boys find that involves magic, jimin is 110% hyper focused on the subject
he does his own lil research in his own time but he can’t help reading creepypastas sometimes
he doesn’t know any better ok!!!
also carries snacks but in a backpack bc he really can’t get behind the fanny pack
jin: they’re convenient
jimin: they’re a fashion abomination is what they are
one time they were hunting a monster that jumped out at taehyung and jimin just fuckin
decked it
like no thought just a right hook to the eye(s)
there were multiple eyes and jimin couldn’t stop whining abt the residue on his hand as they ran back to the van to hide
he’s just having a good time with his friends and didn’t really sign up for the monster bit but that’s okay
taehyung
so uh
taehyung can talk to the dead
this has actually been a thing he could do since he was a kiddo and similarly to hoseok, he was shunned for it because nobody believed him
he communicates with past relatives or family friends of his often for his family (who also know and find it kind of lovely what he can do) and sometimes passes on things for the dead to their living family
like he’ll order orange tulips sent to the home of a grieving widow bc her recently deceased husband asked him to do him that favor, something her husband had been planning on picking up for her the day he died
or he’ll quietly look after his classmate whose mother died because he was asked to. he’ll share his lunch with her and make sure she eats because her mother just knows she’s not well
when he met hoseok (who is really the heart of this lil group), he just felt so much relief at finally being understood
he’s really a great mediator for ghosts when they encounter them and he’s so helpful at leading them to the afterlife if needed
he’s really not scared of much to be honest. he finds everything so fascinating
sometimes it drains him being kind of a connect between the human and spiritual world but he’s so glad he was born that way, it’s helped him meet so many wonderful people and he loves who he is
and yeh ok taehyung abuses his power like the lil shit he is sometimes
tae: did you wash the dishes
jk: *clearly lying* yeh
tae: the ghost standing next to you begs to differ
jk: ...for the love of god taE NOT AGAIN
jungkook
ok, like i said,,, dude is an adrenaline junkie
jungkook does not give two flying shits he will deadass fight a headless forest demon in his living room if he has to
jungkook fears no man or god
strongest member so he’s always the one to carry namjoon when he inevitably hurts himself and has to be helped
even tho he’s not easily scared for his own life, he is scared for his family and friends
his worst nightmare is losing any of them to something they hunt
sometimes he’ll line windows and doors in his house with salt discreetly, just enough for it to work and just enough that his mom won’t yell at him for wasting perfectly good salt
is always researching protection spells and things just in case he’ll ever need em, usually consults yoongi for help too
“who do you think would win in a fight between mothman and a wendigo”
genuinely cannot function on an empty stomach and the boys have to stop by convenience stores to buy him like six cups of instant ramen just to satiate him
of course jin has some snacks in his handy fanny pack if needed (and has made painstakingly clear if jungkook mocks said fanny pack that he will be banned from getting snacks from it for the rest of his “measly young life”)
jungkook has some good sense and hasn’t said a word (but he has thought a copious amount, for sure)

PET ep 5
Ari made the we i r de s t noise waking up. i feel bad for anyone who might've heard it as she rolled over. Only to fall on the floor with a 'thump'. She opened her eyes a bit and looked up at the seeing, seeing the clock she had installed up there. 7:30 am. She got to her feet and shook her mouse to her computer, only to see V-Tale had shut off. Seems her entire computer had restarted..woops. She got to her feet and brushed herself off slightly, looking over at the bed, hoping her best friend hadnt woken up by her fall. Era blinks, snapping out of her thoughts when hearing a quiet thump. She proceeds to quickly get out of bed after hearing the noise- What if there's a intruder in the house?? Oh no that'd be bad. She opens her door before walking over to Ari's room and proceeding to knock on it "Heyyy are you okay?" Well Ari, you.. technically woke her up? She was awake anyways, she was just going back to sleep Ari walked over to the door and opened it quietly, giving a yawn first thing "oh- uh. Yea. sorry if i woke you." she mumbled "just fell off my chair-" she paused "-again.." that was some guilt. She chuckled to laugh it off and gave a tiny smile "did you get any, or well..enough sleep?" she asked, lightly patting her friend on the head "No you didn't wake me up it's okay- I was already awake." She blinks, staring at Ari "Uhm,, I think I did? Did you?" "I have no idea when i fell asleep. I walked into my room, watched VT for awhile and woop there i went." she muttered, rubbing her eyes slightly, "so..im not sure. but i mean.. i dont feel tired? like, more tired then normal. i feel normal, i guess." "Well that's good- If you feel normal, I mean- I dunno I'm still terrible with words." She pauses, taking a step backwards "M gunna go downstairs uhm, join me if you want to." She turns around, heading downstairs quietly Ari blinked, was Era okay? Was that normal? She tried recounting the times this had happened before, not remembering any.. She darted downstairs quickly and went and sat on the couch (not ontop of Max luckily), looking outside the window. The sun was up already, darn. Era looked over to Ari "Well that was fast." She blinks, looking over to where Max was sleeping on the couch "How was the talk with the newcomer yesterday?" Era questions, before sitting down on the couch herself "Max? Or Vincent?" she turned to look at her friend, then shrugged "Vincent, im p sure you heard that whole thing. i was kinda shook when i heard gunshots though. And Max seems cool. She watches VT and apparently didnt seem to know we lived right under north carolina. which is interesting. considering we're in south carolina. And she seems really eager about this job." she paused "..Era, you werent like, jealous or anythin were you? You sure acted like it. or was that just salt?" "Oh, well I mean, it's a good thing if she's eager about the job?" Era blinks, "Just my usual salt. I'm always salty over everything." Haha,, Max shifted on the couch, opening her eyes for a second before closing them again, determined to stay asleep. She knew she wasnt gonna stay asleep though. Ari blinked, that was the most obvious lie shes ever heard. "...oh my god you fuckin dork" she snickered slightly "Era your my best friend. aint nobody replacin you. got that?" she poked her friends nose and smiled softly, "besides, i just met this person. you know how my meetings can vary. Pissed, to shy, to overly happy. You had this same reaction with Angy, and me and Ang are just friends. not the bestest friends in all the multiverse." Era sighs "Ahhh, I know- sorry just. Uhm. Weird anxiety things?? But thanks hah." Ari nodded "i understand that..now, um, i do have something not as bright to ask. When are we going up a state to go meet Billy, because like..we kinda need to know our lives. considering our weird 'come back from the dead' issue." Era pauses, looking out towards the window for a moment "Uhm.. We should.. I don't know an exact time but like, we should do it pretty soon considering we don't know how many lives we even have. So, like, around today or tomorrow I guess? It kind of depends." "...Hey lil eavesdropper! we're goin to meet the Acachallas!" she called over to Max, havin known she was awake, before lookin back at her friend "We could do it today but i don't think Vincent wants to go somewhere, Arthur will hit me, Angy will say 'nope' and take a sip of sprite. and i dont want only two of us going, thats hella dangerous. they've got nukes." "..It sounds stupid but, maaaayyybe we could bring Max along? As like.. a test mission? Are you okay with doing that Max?" Max groaned. She felt slightly excited by hearing any of this, but sleep felt like a much better option. She just slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes. "I'll do it, sure...." Ari made a snorting noise "that was a lovely noise. Alright" she clapped her hands together "What do you both want for breakfast" if anyone says Macaroni your going to have a very angry mom on your hands "I want ... wwaannntt.. cereal." "Ill eat whatever you got that isnt sausage, honestly.." Ari nodded "got it." off she goes into the kitchen Era blinks, looking over to Max "....." Klondike ears perked up "Thank you for not eating sausage" "??" "Uh, hi...." "Okay before you get confused Max, that's Klondike, a demon we have because of Spop." "Uh, okay...then..." mmm demons, woo, cause thats not gonna keep her up at night "They're friendly enough so don't worry." "I guess.." Sliiiides back into the room. she put eggs and Toast on Max's lap, and set down what looked to be juice on the side table, going over to Era and giving her some frosted flakes cereal™. She glanced at Klondike and rose an eyebrow "do you know what Spop likes to eat because i wanna get somethin ready for when she gets up." Era immediately starts eating her cereal, giving a quiet "Thanks" to Ari Max looked slightly more awake, especially with the food sitting in front of her. "Thanks dude." Piggy shrug "Spop is a strange girl. She likes worms" "...We dont..have worms but. i can make do." she grinned and ran into the kitchen, coming out with a packet of gummy worms, showing them to Klondike "will these do?" she looked back at Max and Era "no problem btw. I make breakfast for everyone alot." "You lied about not having worms" "These arent worms but okay." she went and put the gummy worms on the side table to a chair and then went back into the kitchen, coming out a few seconds later with eggs, toast, and bacon, hiding the bacon from Klondike's view. there she goes, sitting next to Era again. nom nom time "kay, wait. how are we going to explain to the group why we're disappearing. We cant just. poof. We're the leader and co-leader, and Max is a new member." she hummed "We tell them we're going to get a book on how many lives we have and put whoever we trust as leader and co-leader for the time being." "Arthur-" that was immediate, no thought there "Hes been here as long as me, and hes ore responsible then Angy...or. god forbid, Vincent." "Okay well, Arthur is the leader, Angy is kind of co-leader I guess while we leave." Up from Spop's room a frantic scream is heard "WHERE IS MY BEANIE?!!!!" "Alright then. i doubt any of em are gonna get up anytime soon and." she checked the time again, humming "its currently like 2 pm for North Carolins-" she snickered when hering the scream, bursting into uncontrollable laughter, A r i n o Klondike leapt from his place and ran upstairs to help the Spop Ari got up and ran to the closet, opening the door to take out her quiver, and taking a cat earred beanie out of it. Up the stairs she went to go into Spops room "Spop heyy, i still,, uh. had your beanie. oops. Uh. Worms are downstairs on a table if you want to eat" she smiled and lightly tossed the beanie to Spop Spop looked at Ari and caught the beanie "Thank you" ;u; beanie is hugged Ari gave a thumbs up and ran back downstairs "oooh kay. as i was saying. its now 3 pm for the north fucks. So if we wanna get up there it'd be a good idea to get outta the house asap. So.." she shrugged "we'd only be gone for like a day unless we decide to hang out there for awhile. but i doubt we will." "Well uhm. Guess we should pack then. Right now." Era stands up, walking over to where she placed her catbag near the front door, picking it up and putting on her high-heel boots "Okay I'm ready." Max just grabbed her over-stuffed laptop bag and put on her sandals. She literally never had anything more than that. Ari snickered, running upstairs, she came back down with two papers, simply having their deaths and causes written down. "welll, im ready too. Maxi?" she glanced at the other nerdo, putting one of the papers on the table and quickly writing a note for the other PET members "I'm ready, bro." Spop looked at the people about to leave. "You are gonna come back right??" Era walks over to the front door, proceeding to open it "Yep! We'll be gone for around a few hours or so. Maybe a day. Now lets goooo!" Ari nodded "kay, got it. The note just tells them where we're goin, what we're doing, and whos in charge.- Oh, Spop! i almost forgot- uh.." she paused, then blinked "Era, im not leaving my daughter alone with the maniac.s" "There's only one maniac though, shouldn't Spop be safe with Arthur and Angy?" Narrows eyes "Do you really trust Arthur and Angy with Spop?" "Nope." "Spop, you're comin along. Grab Klondike, your worms, and lets go" she muttered, out the door she goes to get the car started "Ok!" She runs off to get what she needs Era proceeds to walk outside too, heading over to the car but not going inside of it yet, waiting for Spop and Max to come out too Spop runs back out with Klondike and her gummy worms Max walked slowly out behind Spop, picking through her bag for something. Era grabs the handle of the car door, flinging it open "Well- lets get in the car, since that's a thing you need to do." She slides into the shotgun seat Max sat on the back right, closing the door and already staring out the window. Spop sat in the backseat next to Max Ari sliiides herself into the drivers seat, putting the papers in the side thing and starting the car. Woop woop roadtrip Era smiles, "Roadtrip start! Ari don't crash the car." Ari chuckled "i wooont" looks abck at Max and Spop "i dont have a drivers license." she warned, looking into the side mirror. Out of the driveway they go Spop looked out the window, fixated on the outside world
