hae interrogationes multae respondeant quia demens .
if you read this entire ask post you deserve a gold star and financial recompensation
Um, Obviously because when you’re adopted by a white guy you automatically become white duhhh
this is about this post lmao and yeah youre absolutely right, you have to hand your poc card in when you get adopted by a white guy.
Do you think Cass would listen to Yanni, the YouTube channel epic symphonic rock, or some other stuff? There's some cool mashups but idk if that's up your alley, I kinda feel like I'm pushing it with my weird taste of music by recommending an orchestra cover of metal, but i just love that sort of thing and mashups :P @harvestyourcherries 
i haven’t heard of that? but in my personal (correct) opinion steph listens to classical music, and then both modern and older, and then also stuff like black sabbath, iron maiden, but also hardrock and hardcore. i like the idea of cass just liking the most extreme screaming songs full of noise and then also listen to pachelbel’s 370th sonata yanno? THANK YOU for the rec tho
speaking of ur cass playlist hc...reminds of the time (yesterday) i found 2 playlists randomly on spotify from the same user. one was abt 3 hours of instrumental/classical "dark" & "nostalgic" music. the other almost 11 hours of nothing but hardcore bass/synth/electronic music. just an incredible tightrope act to put on in public. the synth one was also called like "psalms for synth sluts" which is Also incredible
tbh i LOVE synth SO MUCH like for no reason at all but then also cannot handle a poppy electronic beat lmao. but this seems like the kinda thing i’d do but just in one (1) playlist bc i just sort songs by vibe instead of genre? that’s how i end up with britney spears and billy ray cyrus in the same playlist. 
Oh, I want Kate Kane playlist next! It would be amazing if you could do one when you have time and will 🙏
how rude would it be of me to just say no? like sorry kate but idk you and also you seem way too keen on the us military for an institution that homophobically targeted you? (and also commits war crimes) but let’s unpack the fact that the institution that caused the death of your mom and sister and also got you blacklisted for being gay is still one you align with???
'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' 'yes i am' 'no you're not' --- when i tell you i fucking screamed LOL!!!!!!! i can imagine the cameraman not knowing if he should cut to commercial or keep it on these two weirdos fighting on stage (bruce definitely ruffled dick's hair/noogied him right?? 
about this post but yeah lmao. this cameraman just turns to like the audience to get a reaction and it’s just multiple moments of CLEAR shock.
you are the only funny person on this hellsite
how egotistical is it for me to say that i get this ask multiple times a month? bc it literally happens so often it’s hilarious to me.
Wish there was more john/Bruce content 😔😔😔 was so hungry I actually looked at canon media 😔😔😔 (Justice League Dark babeeeyyyyyy)
check out batman: damned for some mediocre content but at least it’s john/bruce (also very interesting story and stuff, just got very >:( over this weird part where harley quinn tried to r*pe bruce or something? it’s not for everyone)
dick grayson but he's nicki minaj
his anaconda don’t want none,,, unless...... 
Dick Grayson was never a cop, he played Marshall on Paw Patrol
you are SO right. also paw patrol is a fucking good show idc. that shit could’ve been the new steven universe on this hellsite.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1lI0bLI7-/?utm_medium=copy_link
...
why do people keep reposting my CONTENT. if you are not funny yourself don’t just grab shit off of tumblr and post it on insta,,, get a life. sidenote: should i start an insta and get all these ppl to take my content down that would be funny as hell.
Might I suggest for a Gotham City Meme: something about the true crime fandom thirsting for the rogues gallery
ok can i just say something slightly controversial?? no? i don’t find true crime ppl who are into criminals funny, that shits disturbing irl im not gonna bring that into my very chill universe.
i may have never seen a 'jason cleaning guns in sink' fic but i do know he WOULD
THANK YOU
bestie im sorry to say this to you but while you can, and people do wash their guns in the sink, that is a lot of lead in a very vital part of the kitchen.
people tend to do it in the bathtub.
WHY???? like damn why do you even have guns
i dont think i read many gun sink fics exactly but i have read lots of fics where jason cleanes his guns in the living room. usualy dissembles them and cleans them with a rag i think
lmao fair enough, like i think that’s a large part of what i remember as well.
if you say you've seen/read gun sink fics I believe you. I think those of us who didn't see them are lucky or maybe didn't search for fics by tags or something idk
i mean ive never sought them out but i HAVE seen them,, like definitely i know almost for certain.
saw your tags and I'm interested in Steph/Kara now. They would be the most chaotic couple <3
literally thoooo, i have a wip where they get together in a zombie apocalypse and like UGGGHhhh i am so in love with them.
I am the Breece anon. Thanks for the recommendation; am reading now. I’ve always been a hardcore Superman fan because I love my pure himbo farm boy. My logic is, if one Bruce is a Broose, then multiple Broose are a herd of Breece. And this is a hill upon which I will perish.
fair enough,,,, like moose, meese, goose, geese, bruce, breece. i get your logic and i stand by it as well. (glad you enjoyed the comic recs!!!!)
It's a beautiful day in Gotham, and you are a group of horrible Breece
OH my god dude lmao
there only being 42 fics on ao3 for tim and bernard is honestly so sad i need more
it’s like twice that now!!! we did it lads. (tho very sad that my fic isnt number one but like number 4 :((((  )
i'm too late you already did the poll lol but may i suggest bethy (bernard + timothy)
shit dude that wouldve been so fucking funnyyyyy. think ppl have just stuck to timber tho, tim/bernard kinda died down recently and i think it’s too bad, they’re a great couple and i love them.
Wait, hear me out
Bernothy @redlightofdawn
great recommendation (lmao this ask is from like a month ago) but very sorry to announce that NARDTH is the superior shipname
Wait, we know that bernard likes milfs (Tim's step-mom) but what about dilfs? gilfs?
Wait no, I regret sending that ask
these were two seperate asks and they’re HILARIOUS. in my personal opinion tho,,, milfs, gilfs, dilfs are just about vibes and bernard is just attracted to sexy ppl who may sometimes be milfs, dilfs, or EVEN gilfs.
crime in bludhaven would drop to half if nightwing had a boob window. in this essay i will-
WHERE’S THE ESSAY ANON, WHERE’S THE FUCKING ESSAY
Wait if Barbra and Tim r at opposite ends at all times what happened to Barbra once everyone’s Tim’s ever love before started dying lol
she won a lottery ticket and spent 2 weeks on a resort in the bahamas before returning home and finding out that the joker was arrested for tax evasion and then spent a month staying at her big tiddie goth girlfriend’s house before conner came back to life and she broke her pinkie playing table hockey.
Why is the opposite end thing so funny and compelling to me. Tim comes back from his depression quest for Bruce and Babs is now a literal god
lmao when tim loses his spleen barbara reaches nirvana.
Are you still taking music recs because I have three songs that remind me of Jason that I think you'd like
send to me or lose a toe
🌸 ⭐ put this star into the inbox of your favorite blogs. it’s time to spread positivity! ⭐🌸😋
thanks, i wont tho on account of i wont.
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMduBy3Sr/
⬆️
This is the whole of Blüdhaven and everyone anywhere.
Nightwings ass alone saves more people in a calendar year and does more for so society than most heroes do their whole career.Also u are one of the funniest tumblr pages out there. The vibes are unmatched and the memes and tags ✨send me✨.Thank u and goodnight @julia-flow 
fanksss also lmao.
That's going to be a little bit difficult to explain, but
There's some music that you listen to and you think, "oh my gosh, I can perfectly imagine Dick Grayson singing this song, with the same voice as the singer because that voice matches with Dick Grayson"?
oh yeah totally lmao. i have a lot of songs that i think are just entirely dick grayson yanno? kind of all of my playlists have that vibe, but i really find bleachers to fit with dick? idk.
"Lois lane/Superman" fics this, "Lois lane/Clark Kent" fics that, (/lh) let's get into the real good stuff. Some people ship Lois, Clark, and Superman as a throuple. Most popular fic tag for sure
yes totally, i think they’d be absolutely killer on ao3 and clark gets so fucking embarassed about it.
I miss your post, hope you’re doing okay!!
haha this was like 2 months ago, but i was doing fine then too! just didn’t have a lot of inspiration in terms of content.
Doot doot!
noot noot
I’m confused. What did DC do now? Like with nightwing? And another sibling? Please spoil everything for me
lmao they gave him a secret sister plotline where they had his dad cheat on his mom with tony zucco’s wife, bc dick’s life wasn’t traumatic enough yet.
sorry but it's so funny that batman is called "the dark knight" when the gotham city baseball team is called the gotham knights. it'd be like if a vigilante was running around new york called like "the scary yankee"
lmaooo no. but like yankee comes from dutch names or something so wouldnt it be HILARIOUS if gotham knights came from like german names and bruce would be running around called the dark KLAUS UND NIEK @graysonnightwing 
(not a batcest shipper) it’s so funny to me that the responses are “i’m a batcest shipper because i can differentiate fiction from reality and and it doesn’t bother me personally, but i understand why you oils think it’s weird” to “i wish all batcest shippers a very fucking die”
yeah lmaoo. i personally basically flipped my entire stance around to ‘i dont care please leave me and everybody else alone’ bc i think there’s really no point in starting a moral dillema over some fucking fandom bullshit. Please just,,, go home,,, log off, find a nice forest to have a little walk in and remember that somewhere in history, somebody probably died in the place you’re standing. and you will also die someday, and somebody will have to look at your internet usage and see you fighting multiple people anonymously while being named ‘nightwingsbuttchin200186′ like... calm down, we’re all gonna die this is not the thing to worry about.
so since like "wards" don't really exist in modern society almost all the batkids are foster kids, right? i used to work in the system and imagine: monthly visits from social workers and guardian ad litems, bruce having to get permission to take the boys anywhere out of state, calling their social worker at like 8 a.m. like "yeah dick broke his arm again... a gymnastics accident this time...." their poor social worker. bruce send her a huge bouquet and box of chocolates every month to stay on her good side
i imagine the social worker just getting into the case like ‘yeah let’s get this kid a good guardian’ and then ending up having to work with 22 y/o bruce wayne and his 50 y/o dad. and so this social worker is like ‘okay we can work with this, this is the best home i can find’ and then like it ends up landing on its feet and then the kid gets adopted and then they get a call a year later like ‘uhm so hi, this kid tried to steal my tyres can i adopt him?’ and like 3 years later. ‘okay so basically, my neighbours’ kid imprinted on me and now they’re dead, can i keep him?’ two years later it’s like ‘okay so this assassin child-’
ever since I saw that one post of yours, the meme that's something like "I know that abba's backup dancer got me" with a picture of discowing, I've been haunted. Every once in a while I'll be minding my own business then the image of abba's backup dancer dick grayson aka nightwing aka discowing will flash in my mind and I'll be frozen in place. Today at work I was in the middle of folding clothes and suddenly once again discowing entered my mind and I suddenly lost the ability to see anything except He. Thank you.
wow. the IMPACT.
Braver than any US marine man props to you🤝
this shit is about the time i wrote an article on batcest, like man,,, the fact that i didn’t get cancelled is MIRACULOUS. also like,,, uh if anybody on here did gossip on me,, send screenshots i’d love to see it.
Hello, just wanted to say your article was great. Thank you for taking the time to provide an unbaised answer. It should provide people with nuances they couldn't possibly conjure on their own.
May I ask where your username originates from?
yes you may (also thanks!!!) i thought it up when i was trying to find an original username bc i didnt want to be called like ‘timdrakes something something’ or ‘jason todd something smoething’ or ‘dick grayson something something’ yanno? so i thought batarangs, they sound so dumb and that’s my username story... now it’s my whole entire brand lmao.
yno that bit in kick ass where red mist asks kick ass if he wants a hit of his blunt, was that the inspo for stoner tim
no? it’s bc i think stoners are hilarious and drugs are great. (dont do drugs tho) 
How would u feel if someone actually wore one of those bruce or ollie pride shirts u edited
fenomenal next question.
Dick as lil huddy and Jason as James gave me radiation poisoning and now I’m screaming crying throwing up so thx for that
(Rico suave as Tim is perfect tho literally no changes needed)
i was so funny for that shit wasn’t i??? lmao i loved those weird ass fancasts
You're doing the Lord's work by providing us with all these Gotham/Metropolis citizens memes, thank you for being so relentlessly funny @nellethiel-aranel
you’re welcome!! i really enjoy making memes, but getting validation for my content and my memes is REALLY nice.
Bruce is such a slut in your memes and honestly i love that for him @rhodey-rhudert-rhodes-main 
he’s that much of a slut irl too dw.
Bruce and Alfred have an emergency pride flag for the batkids. Oliver Queen printed an emergency "I love my gay son" t-shirt and as soon as Roy told him he was dating Jason, Oliver started wearing that shirt everyday and Roy always cringes when he sees it. Oliver also has an emergency "I love my lesbian daughter" shirt just in case for Cissie.
lmao YES i had a post like this bc like all of their kids/family members are so gayy
stop bringing back batfam fancasts it is not real it is not real it is not- 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
oh yes it is my darling.
did discowing burn down the notredam because he hates the bees? @allulily
no he did it bc fuck the french.
im gonna beg for 1 thing and 1 thing only. please please please put physical by olivia newton john on dick's playlist
okay then beg. bc i wont. physical reminds me too much of glee and that hurts me mentally.
your playlist is sorely missing some Madonna. Specifically Into the Groove, Like a Prayer, and Vogue
i’m scared of madonna that’s why she’s not on there. she haunts me in my dreams.
suggestion: son of batman by aaron dews for dick’s playlist🤩
sorry, i listened to it and the vibe didn’t agree with me.
Hear me out, metropolis citizens sending rare pair fics of Clark Kent x Superman fics to Lois to edit
yes, absolutely hilarious. even more funny if they send like physical copies, no address attached and lois sends it back marked with red ink, SOMEHOW
Imagine all the smut Clark must of read editing the fics
clark reads smut confirmeeed
NOT LOIS READING SUPERBAT PORN AND EDITING IT A 2AM 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hc that alfred is a meta that boosts healing factor of the people around him. if the bats are injured as much as they seem to be they would be doing bat stuff MAYBE half the year. no one including alfred knows about this. whenever the kids move out they inexplicably dont recover from injuries as fast and feel better whenever they visit the manor they just chalk it up to homesickness. bruce just thinks he heals really fast. alfred thinks everyone doesnt take care of themselves properly @finchcollector
that’s actually such a great idea, but i think that alfred would find out and learn how to concentrate it better so he can help more people, bc he’s great and i love him.
One of your dickfast posts reminded me of that tweet that goes: 'so you've had sex how many times? Yeah technically that's not a bromance' lol that's dickwally or dickroy
literally tho. like that’s all of dick’s friendships. once it gets past a certain time dick is like ‘wow i wonder what it would be like to make out with wally, wally come make out with me’ and wally’s like ‘we’ve done this like 40 times, dick, you know what it’s like’ and dick is like ‘sorry are you complaining?’ and they just make out.
superfam and batfam associations??
-batman and superman
-dick/barabara and supergirl?
-conner and tim
-jon and damian
pls enlighten me I am confused
nope,,, uhm batman and superman, but dick and superman as well, and then conner and tim, jon and damian and steph + babs with supergirl
I came across a fic in which Wonder Woman calls Batman "Stella" (like Stellaluna, the children's book) and I can imagine the batkids hop on the trend and maybe copies of the book appear at random places (aka, everywhere Bruce frequents)
sorry can’t reciprocate that was the name of my high school chemistry teacher and it gives me nightmares to think about.
good human what are your pronouns?
wouldn’t you like to know?
I need me some gothamites preferring harley over joker memes
everyone prefers harley over joker youre just very fucked up if you dont
don't understand why people try to add like veteran policy to the batfamily
dick pulling out his veteran batfam member card so he can eat first: step aside, peasants
Do you know the song Simmer by Haley Williams? It (the first verse anyways) reminds me of Jason? It's about rage.
damn yeah i LOVE HAYLEY!!!! youre right thoo
Okay so I like listen to your stoner Tim Drake playlist 24/7 but would he listen to skegss? Also I keep adding songs mentally it’s killing me 😩✋🏼 Anyways,, I literally love and worship your playlist 😃🤞🏼 And uh yeah have a good day ✨
stoner tim drake playlist is lyfeeee. also dont know who skeggs is? i’m stupid? have a good day!!
All the Robins (and Batgirl) decide to trade costumes for one night just to fuck with Batman and all the villains in Gotham. @subspacecadet 
batman knows it’s them youknow but like,,, what does he call them? he’s like ‘red hood?’ and 3 people answer and he’s not about to compromise some identities so he’s just Pissed.
I aspire to treat cops the way my dad treats them. This man is a 45 year old Asian immigrant to the US and the treats them like his pets. He talks about them like unruly children. Sometimes he pays off local cops to shut up and stop acting racist. And usually it works. I don’t know why but I can see Oliver Queen doing this
vibes... and also yes? oliver queen handing a local cop a donut to shut the fuck up lmao. but yanno i commit enough crimes to not really want to ever see a cop ever, so they kinda scare the everloving fuck out of me.
seeing as tim hasn't aged in years, that means he was 17 at peak emo tumblr era. im back on my emo tim bullshit and im not letting it go
emo tim had a wattpad account send tweet
People seem to think that batman is so dark and serious when the rainbow batsuit is right there. He wore it with no shame.
dude the 60s were a DIFFERENT TIME
dick grew up in a circus, jason grew up on the streets, and tim was probably raised by the internet
all of them cuss every other word and you cannot tell me otherwise
bitch i KNOW but dc has to change to an 18+ rating if they want to sell comix with swear words in them so we gotta deal with imagining the swear words in ourselves
thoughts on teen titans and young justice
haven’t seen teen titans on account of havent seen it and young justice was LITERALLY my favourite thing ever, tho i do gotta admit it’s not at all similar to the young justice comics unfortunately. i really wouldve liked to see timmy bart kon cassie and cissie animated on tv!!
ew ew ew how to delete batcest shippers I genuinely digust them
log off tumblr?
Okay as poc who was called racist for calling an Italian pastabrain: in the batfam are Italians bit Damian just yells various insults about the others being Italian. Just him yelling “What are you doing you moronic spaghettihead!” At steph etc
huh? i meant real italians. homeboy is telling steph he hopes she chokes on her fucking garlic.
I think it's dumb as hell to pull the batman is the best fighter in the batfam argument because like it's just irresponsible of Bruce to let his kids fight when they couldn't possibly be on his league or something
fair enough, but also like who cares they could all kill you just sit down and take a beating.
lady shiva, thalia al ghul and Selina Kyle are all milfs @notanothertimburtonenthusiastugh 
unfortunately, i have to admit,,, you’re right
why tf didn't someone give joker a death sentence already? like he's a mass murderer...give him the electric chair treatment wtf
idk i think plenty of people would have tried to murder him already (boring answer is: he is a popular character so they can’t kill him off bc he brings in lots of money)
There’s no such thing as “ copaganda”.
all american media is propaganda. happy to clear this up for you
is it bad that I find lady shiva owa owa
no. find her as owa owa as you want.
aight I'm guessing the order of your favs in batfam:
1. tim
2. Steph
3. dick
4. Duke
5. the rest
you’re wrong but it’s cute that you tried, i generally don’t have favourites, but i have a special place in my heart for steph, tim, dick and cass. bc they were like my introduction to batfam. but damian, jason, duke, bruce, babs and alfred are NOT FORGOTTEN OR UNLOVED
oh my god i was literally just readily willing to believe that italians werent white ty for clarifying it was a joke im so dumb sdkvjskdfs
i mean some italians aren’t white? italian is a nationality as well as an ethnicity, so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
since I saw so many people doing headcanons about the nationalities of batboys, I see Dick as an Italian.
dont know if youre serious or not, but sure.
super random but
jason 🤝 damian
old english
lmao fair enough.
tim absolutely has 1 gay uncle and his parents shit talk said uncle all the time so after bruce adopts him he specifically reaches out to this uncle to be like "heyyyy just so you know you majorly influenced my life yes i know i havent seen you since i was 5 and at the family reunion yes i know you dont remember my name idc thank you im gay too" and then they never talk again.
yuppp lmao that’s definitely something that could happen. i can also consider tim having no family members, like none. until he does like a dna test and he realises he has like an aunt living barely 2 miles away from him who’s like some illegitimate child of his grandpa.
I dare you one of them sends clark superman/clark fic and clark corrects the shit out of it and then goes like ps his dick is not that big, just telling as someone who has seen it. internet either explodes or goes who tf did he not fuck at this point.
i think everybody would call clark a buzzkill and try to cancel him over that.
so you're telling me Tim Drake wouldn't buy Starbucks?
no. dunkin donuts all the way
One of my favorite things is imagining people finding out jason came back from the dead and being like "oh no does he have magic powers now?!?!?" and he just pulls out a gun and tries to shoot joker
now he doesn’t even have the gun :) lmao
my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context
bruce gets codename ‘ugh’ everytime. he hates it.
crazy that tim being a 17 y/o ceo and a stoner who does brand deals are all actual canon things written in detective comics comics and not made up for shits and giggles by you, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb @rowdeyclown
SO CRAZY HUH?
batman au where everything is the same but his utility belt is bright pink
absolutely, but i raise you, his boots light up like sketchers when he kicks people.
unbeknownst to the superhero fandom writers in the dcuniverse, clark and BRUCE are one of the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag on ao3. clark writes the best lois x superman angst, full of unhappy endings and scenes that are a so detailed you'd think you were in the middle of a superhero beatdown. bruce made an ao3 account to fuel "the do the butts match" thing, and makes batman/bruce fics from time to time. he wrote a superbat fic as a joke but ended up making it REAL porny. @concrastinator
dude they’re WAY too busy for that. Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan on the other hand are the most prolific fanfic writers in the superhero rpf tag writing what is Mostly porn.
When the dining table topic gets to politics, Steph says "eat the rich" as the solution
bruce just silently takes away her fork and knife while she’s talking.

New Light Part: 2
College Levi x Reader(Modern AU)
W/C: 5.2k 
T/W: None
A/N: Levi is a moody English major who spends his free time reading at the local cafe. I’m having a lot of fun writing this ! (pic from pinterest)
I’ve put all the parts in one list here:  New Light Masterlist
Tumblr media
Levi’s POV
Levi and Erwin sat in silence on their drive home. The blinker would occasionally fill the car with a strong click. Levi counted the lit up rooms in the passing apartments. Five, Six, Seven… He wanted to keep his mind off of you, the way your hair framed your face, your hand caressing the mug, the way you pressed your lips together when you listened someone speak. 
“So, how long have you known (Y/N)?” Erwin asked as if he knew Levi was thinking about you.
“A couple of months,” he responded. 
“Do you like her?” Erwin prodded. 
“She’s nice,” Levi said. 
Erwin nodded, he knew better than to ask further. 
This was how their conversions normally went, Erwin would begin with a blunt statement and Levi would respond in a short manner. From an outsider’s perspective, it might have seemed like the two men weren’t friends but this dynamic worked for them. Erwin was straightforward with what he wanted and Levi didn’t like talking about personal subjects, even with one of his closest friends. 
When they arrived to their shared apartment, they said their goodnights and went into their rooms. Erwin had to be up early tomorrow for a debate meeting and Levi wanted to be alone. After they moved out of the dorms they decided to keep living together because it was the most cost effective option and plus Levi liked that Erwin was as neat as him, almost as neat. They lived in an old, walk-up apartment ten minutes away from Wall Rose University in a quiet neighborhood. They’ve been living there for three years now and had no plans to move out anytime soon. 
Levi opened the window slightly to let the cool air in, raindrops fell from the gutter and filled the dark bedroom with gentle taps.. He laid down on the bed and breathed in the smell of the city and old books in his room. He closed his eyes and let his body melt into the bedsheets, he used the same lavender fabric softener his mom loved. Mmm, I should give her a call tomorrow, he thought. He felt his thoughts bounce around in his head but he was too tired to unravel them. Levi focused on his breathing and eventually his thoughts subdued into lenient bystanders. 
There was silence around him when suddenly, you popped up in his thoughts. Levi let out a small sigh. Fuck, what are the odds of her knowing Hange. Hange of all people,the one person who doesn’t know how to shut up, Levi thought. Frustration began to fill his chest. He wanted you to meet his friends and he wanted to know more about you but he didn’t want it to happen like this. Levi wanted to do it right with you. He knew wasn’t the most charismatic or hospitable person and romance wasn’t his forte. Romance, Levi thought and chuckled. He remembered Erwin’s earlier question. Do I like her? 
He sat up and pinched the bridge of his nose with his index and forefinger. He didn’t have a ton of experience with romance. His only relationship with Petra ended in a disaster, she broke up with him after feeling neglected for months. That was never Levi’s intent, he loved her but he didn’t know how to express it. Whenever he saw her on campus she would always give him a smile and wave which Levi would reciprocate. He regretted the way everything ended but he was thankful she didn’t hold a vengeance against him. He was 18 and foolish but he was older now and slightly less foolish. 
Levi looked out the window and started to form a plan in his head. It was evident he had some sort of feelings for you, you were funny, pretty, easy to talk to and you cared about what he had to say. He smiled as he remembered how earnestly you looked at him while he explained the latest book he was reading, he started reading books he thought you might like. Shitballs, maybe I do like her. There was nothing he could do now, he didn’t want to do anything until he had a better understanding about what you were thinking. He nodded his head, proud of his plan. 
The hardwood floor creaked as Erwin walked over to the bathroom. Outside of the window, the sky was beginning to glow with a soft orange hue. Levi closed the curtain, pulled off his clothes and tucked himself into bed. He curled his body around a pillow and slowly began to drift off, eager to wake up to begin his plan. 
The crisp autumn hit your face as you opened the doors to the lecture hall. You felt light and airy after finishing your genetics midterm. It was one of the hardest tests you’ve taken but you felt okay about it. Hange had helped you study for the past week and their enthusiasm and studying techniques helped you out immensely. I owe them big time, you thought. Your phone buzzed in your pocket, it was Hange.
Hange: U FREAKING DID IT!!! IM SO PROUD XD
You: thank uuu, i feel good about it! 
Hange: YAY! We’re out in the park blocks! Join us!
You: ok !
You stared at the screen and re-read the conversation. Join us...they must mean Levi and Erwin. You scoffed the tip of your boot into the pavement, the familiar feeling of nerves began to dance in your stomach. Slowly, you made your way to the park blocks, the on-campus park where students would have picnics and study sessions. Students began to pour out of lecture halls and other buildings, eager to celebrate the end of midterms week. There was an undeniable feeling of excitement as they cheered and laughed. 
You stood at the edge of the park looking for the trio. Levi waved his hand from a picnic bench and smiled at you. Your heart momentarily stopped and you realized you’ve never seen him outside of the cafe. He was wearing a hunter green sweater and his black overcoat. The wind feebly moved through his hair but even from farway you could see the deep circles around his eyes. You made your way to the trio and gave out a half-hearted hello.
“(Y/N)! How do you feel?!” Hange shouted.
“Fucking relieved,” You said. Levi smiled. 
“I’m proud of you, (Y/N). Hange told us about all the hours you studied for the exam.” Erwin gave you a thumbs up. 
“Thanks, dude. How were your midterms?” You asked as you sat down next to Erwin. 
“They went well! I think I got an A on my Political Theory exam but we’ll find out soon enough.” 
“Erwin, you clown, you know you aced that test.” Hange rolled their eyes. “But thanks to the lovely Levi, I know I got an A on my essay.”
Levi frowned. “Tsk, I was surprised you even knew how to spell.”
Hange hit Levi’s shoulders and he swiped back. 
“Hey, stop it you two,” Erwin scolded. “I swear, they’re like children.” 
You laughed and nodded. The Levi you knew was always stoic and calm but Hange brought out a different side of him. He looked happier even when he was annoyed. You grabbed a dead leaf from the table and started to pull it apart, rubbing the dead plant bits between your fingers. 
“Are you good?” Levi’s voice broke your concentration. You looked up and met his gray-blue eyes.
“Yep, all good here.” You smiled at him and he returned one back. 
“That’s fantastic! So tonight. Ymir’s Bar at eight. Got it?” Hange ordered. 
Erwin and Levi nodded in response and looked at you. Your eyes darted between the three of them.
“Uh, I would love but I’m hanging out with a few people tonight.”
“Please, join us! Your friends are more than welcome to come, the more the merrier,” Hange begged.
“I beg to differ…” Levi mumbled.
“Shut up, grumps.” Hange elbowed Levi and returned their gaze back to you. “It’ll be fun, I’ll buy you a shot.”
You rolled your eyes, “fine, but I’m buying you a shot. I owe you, Hange.”
Hange squealed and clapped their hands. “Yay! My friend, Moblit will tag along too. You haven’t met him yet but he’s great and such a talented artist. You’ll love him.”
“Sweet, I’m excited, can you send me the address?” You responded. Hange nodded. 
“Who are you hanging out with?” Erwin asked.
“Oh, uh. My boyfriend and some of our friends,” You muttered. 
“I didn’t know you had a boyfriend. (Y/N) why didn’t you tell me?” Hange asked, heartbroken. 
Erwin glanced at Levi. He was looking at the grains in the table, his heart sank but he knew better than to let his friends know. 
“I don’t know. It didn’t seem like the most important thing to talk about during our study sessions.” You were unsure why but you felt defensive over Hange’s comment. 
Hange looked hurt at your response, you felt a pang of regret. You didn’t mean to keep your relationship a secret but your life didn’t revolve around your relationship so it felt pointless to bring him up. The air around the table was tense and cold. The sun was setting and the four of you were on the brink of being enveloped by the shadow of a large lecture hall. 
“Regardless, I’m eager to meet your boyfriend and friends,” Erwin said in a strained voice. 
“Yeah, I’m excited for all of you to meet. I think I’m going to go home and get ready.” 
“Of course, we’ll see you soon,” Erwin said in a quiet tone. 
You waved goodbye to all of them, the trio waved back and you made your way to the bus station. As you waited for the bus, you sent your boyfriend a message to meet your new friends at Ymir’s. He sent back a simple thumbs up emoji as a response. You pulled out a pair of headphones and blasted music to drown out your thoughts. Yet Levi’s face kept on appearing in your head, the way the sunlight caressed the hard lines of his face, his honest smile when he was with his friends, the way his eyes lost their glow when you announced you had a boyfriend. We never did anything. Hell, I didn’t even know his name until last week so why should I care what he thinks. We’re just coffee shop friends, that’s it. The bus pulled to the stop, you waited for everyone to exit before entering and made your way to the back window seat. The glass was cold on your forehead but it felt nice. You sighed, preparing yourself for a night out with your new friends and your boyfriend.
Levi’s POV
After you left, Hange and Erwin looked at Levi with concern in their eyes. Levi noticed their stares and glanced up at them.
“The fuck you looking at,” he growled.
“Levi, I’m sorry,” Hange whispered.
“About what?” He scoffed.
Erwin was about to speak but Levi abruptly got up and buttoned his coat. “I’m going home. I’ll see you both at Ymir’s.”
Erwin and Hange exchanged a look and nodded. When Levi made up his mind there was no stopping him. They watched him walk away, his head was slightly lower than usual. Levi walked over to the bike rack and unhooked his black low handle bicycle. In one smooth motion, he drapped his leg over the seat and began to peddle home. The wind hurt his face and burned his lungs but he pushed harder and harder on the pedals. Crouching down on the seat as he biked up the hills, hoping to ride away from the bench to run away from his disillusion that you could love him.
A few hours later, Erwin, Hange and Moblit entered the apartment. Hange called out to Levi.
“Hey, Mr. Grumps! We have something for yoooou!!” They called out.
Levi moaned and rolled out of bed, his bare feet hit the cold ground as he dragged himself to the living.
“What is it, Four Eyes? Hey, take off your disgusting shoes,” he scolded. “Oh, hey, Moblit.”
Moblit raised his head slightly as a hello. He wasn’t a man of many words. Hange held up a bottle of whiskey and grinned. “So we could pre-game. Take this as a thank you present for helping me write my essay.”
Levi rolled his eyes and smiled. He was touched by Hange’s generosity but he would never dare show it to them.
“I’ll grab us some mugs,” Erwin said and began to walk towards the kitchen.
“No, Erwin! Tonight’s a shot type of night,” Hange said deviously.
The three men looked at them and hesitantly nodded. They wanted to relax and unwind but a  night out led by Hange always ended up with someone’s head in the toilet. Still, they each filled a shot glass, cheered and downed the alcohol. They drank for a while, everyone’s faces were glowing. Hange was blasting music and dancing. Moblit watched them with admiration. Erwin and Levi were giggling over something stupid Erwin said.
Erwin looked at the clock, it was closing in on 8. “Shit, we should get going.”
“Hey, man watch your mouth. And maybe we should stay in. It’s cheaper,” Levi said.
“Levi, noooo. We can’t do that. We told (Y/N)  that we would meet her at Ymir’s!” The alcohol was already getting to Hange.
“Who’s (Y/N)?” Mobit asked.
“My friend from genetics! And Levi’s too,” Hange proclaimed.
Levi rolled his eyes. “Tsk, she’s not my friend. I hardly know her.”
“Mmm, if you say so.”
“Whatever, let’s go,” Levi said curtly.
The four of them grabbed their coats and headed to Ymir’s. It was only a ten minute walk from their place. Hange let everyone know that you had already arrived and saved a table on the back patio. As they walked, they talked about their finals and plans for the upcoming break.  When they arrived at Ymir’s, they pushed open the door and entered the humid room. The bar was full of people celebrating the weekend, a couple was making out in one of the booths and people were lined around the bar. They ordered their drinks and walked through the back doors.
Levi’s hands began to sweat and he felt a lump in his throat when he saw you. You looked beautiful under the glow of the patio lights, you were smiling and had a beer glass on your lips and you were laughing. Erwin stood in place and Hange stopped their chatter.
“Oh, so that’s what they’re doing now,” Hange spouted.
They were referring to Zeke who had their arm around you and to Porco and Pieck who were sitting across from you and your boyfriend.
You saw the group at the back entrance and waved. Your nerves from earlier were completely forgotten after your second beer. Zeke rubbed his thumb against your shoulder and you smiled out of habit. You made eye contact with Levi and gave him a toothy grin, his eyes darted away. Your friends looked at the party headed towards them and stopped talking but you didn’t notice.
“Hey, I was wondering if y’all forgot where the bar is,” you joked but no one laughed.
“Erwin. Levi. It’s been a while,” Zeke stated.
You looked at him confused. “What? You know them?”
Zeke chuckled, “yeah, I guess I do.”
“Zeke, it’s nice to see you again. Same to you Porco and Pieck,” Erwin stated.
Porco and Pieck looked at each other and smiled. “It’s nice to see you too, Erwin,” Pieck said in a sweet voice.
Levi glared at the way Zeke’s arm was draped across your shoulder. He gritted his teeth. Hange noticed how tense he was getting and placed a hand on his shoulder.
“What a small world! I’m glad everyone knows each other. Guys, sit down!” You motioned at the empty seats at the table, completely misreading the space.
Hange was the first to sit and the rest followed. The table was quiet for a few minutes, everyone sipped on their drinks.
“Levi, I like your scarf,” You pointed to the black scarf draped across his body.
“Thanks.”
“Yeah, it’s such a nice scarf,” Zeke repeated.
Levi gave Zeke a dirty look. Hange looked at him nervously and Moblit put a hand on their knee to calm them. You took another sip of your beer.
“Yeah, Zeke, it is a nice scarf. That’s why I complimented it. Anyways, how do you all know each other?” Confidence surged through your veins thanks to the alcohol.
“We were floormates freshman year,” Levi’s dry voice said.
“Wait-oh, I see,” You said.
Erwin began to make casual conversation with everyone while Levi stared at the bottom of his glass. Hange and Moblit joined Erwin and conversed with the other two at the table. Wait, is Zeke the one that called Erwin’s kickback lame? That’s the only possibility, right? Your head was dizzy from the alcohol but the puzzle pieces were starting to fall into place.
“Hey, (Y/N),” Porco called out.
“Huh?”
“You good? It looks like we lost you there for a second.”
“Yeah, Porco. I’m fine,” You said sarcastically.
“Zeke, you and (Y/N) make a good couple,” Erwin said.
Zeke chuckled and squeezed you closer to his toned body, “I know but thank you.”
You kept your head down unsure about what to do. It was evident that Zeke had an issue with Erwin and Levi but you didn’t fully understand why. From what you heard, Zeke was the one who was mean to the other two but Zeke was your boyfriend so you should be on his side, right? You took another swig of your beer.
“Levi, are you still with Petra?” Pieck asked.
Petra? Who the fuck is that, you thought, anger coursed through your veins.
“No,” Levi said.
“Oh, that’s too bad. She was such a lovely girl,” Pieck sighed.
“Who’s Petra?” You asked.
No one answered your question. You looked at Pieck but she kept her eyes down. What the fuck is up?
“She’s a girl I dated freshman year,” Levi explained.
“Oh.”
Hange broke the tension by shouting, “(Y/N), I promised you a shot! Who else wants one?”
Pieck, Moblit and Erwin raised their hands. Hange called over a server and asked for a round of shots for everyone. A few minutes later, they brought tequila shots for the table. Everyone grabbed their lime and raised their glass.
“To finishing finals!” Hange exclaimed.
The table repeated what Hange said and took their shot. You and Porco laughed at Pieck’s face and she stuck her tongue out at you. Zeke kissed your cheek and you leaned into his warm body. For a second, it felt like it did at the beginning of your relationship. You felt safe and hopeful but those feelings disappeared when you caught Levi looking at you and Zeke. Immediately, you pulled away and Zeke frowned. You weren’t one for PDA but after a few drinks you didn’t mind showing your man some love but under Levi’s eye it felt wrong.
“Let’s do another shot!” Hange shouted.
“Hange!! Let me buy you a shot!!” You shouted back.
“(Y/N), you’re the best!!” Hange exclaimed, their cheeks glowing under the lights.
Everyone took another shot and the mood around the table began to lighten as everyone got drunker. Porco made a few jokes that made Erwin laugh. Zeke talked to Hange about their senior thesis. Everything seemed to be falling into place except for Levi. He didn’t make an effort to hold a conversation with anyone. He stared at the empty shot glasses and occasionally smiled at whatever Erwin said.
The patio lights shadows made Levi look heavenly, the soft glow bounced off his pale skin and you tried not to stare but you couldn’t, he looked so pretty.
Zeke could sense that your thoughts were taking you elsewhere so he gave you a kiss on the check. You gave him a smile in return.
The bar was packed and everyone at the table was talking after a new round of drinks. It should be a perfect night, all of your friends seemed to be getting alone but something didn’t feel right. In that moment, you wished it could have been Levi holding your body. Stop, Levi is just a friend, that’s it. I love Zeke. You repeated in your head over and over.
As the night dragged on, you slowly began to lose touch with reality, everything became a happy, surreal blur. Throughout the night, Zeke kept his hands on your body. Before that would have kept you grounded but now it felt off, you weren’t sure if it was the alcohol but you didn’t want him to touch you. You kept on smiling and talking to everyone until the bartender called for final orders.
“This was nice but I think we should get going now,” Erwin declared.
“Yeah, I think you’re right,” Pieck said.
Everyone gathered their belongings and started to walk towards the front door. Zeke walked ahead with Porco and Pieck but you stayed behind with the others. Erwin, Hange and Moblit left you and Levi together alone. Hange’s arm was wrapped around Moblit’s shoulder. They leaned against their body and continued talking.  
“Hey, I had a good time tonight,” You said to Levi who barely acknowledged your existence.
“It was okay,” He stated.
The two of you followed the others.
“But what are the odds of us forming a friendship in this way, right?” You said.
“Tsk, a friendship? We hardly know each other, I wouldn't push it,” Levi responded.
“I guess you’re right,” You muttered.
Levi felt bad about his harsh tone but he didn’t know what to do. He still had the same warm feeling in his chest from before but watching Zeke touch you hurt him. All of you had exited the bar and you walked over to Zeke and he placed his jacket over your shoulders.
“Well, it was, uh, nice to catch up with all of you. Hange thank you for helping my girl study. Get home safe,” Zeke said. You smiled and everyone and waved.
“Zeke, the same to you too. Glad to know you’re doing well. (Y/N) congrats on finishing midterms. See you later,” Erwin said.
“I love yoouuu! I love all of you!” Hange shouted. Moblit still had his arm around Hange to stabilize them.
“Love you too, Hange!” You blew them a kiss.
They all turned and began to walk home. Porco and Pieck had already left in their Uber. You looked at Zeke and he gave you a smile and you smiled back out of habit.
Zeke made conversation on your way back to his place. You wrapped your arms around your body and counted the steps in between each street light. The air around you was dry and your breath fell to the ground in a transparent cloud. Eventually, you made it to Zeke’s apartment, it was highrise close to downtown. When you entered the apartment your attention immediately went to the large windows. They faced the city skyline and the lights poured into the living room and gently outlined the minimal furniture in the room. Zeke led you to the bedroom and began to kiss the back of your neck. His beard tickled your neck and left goosebumps on your skin. You rolled your shoulders and stepped away.
“Come on,” Zeke groaned.
“No, not tonight. I’m really tired,” You said.
You made your way to the bathroom and turned on the harsh lights. The lights bounced off the white tiles and highlighted the bags under your eyes. You stared at yourself for a while, the longer you stared, the faster your thoughts swirled in your head. Is Levi made at me? You splashed cold water on your face and tried to wash off the awkwardness from tonight but no matter how hard you scrubbed, you couldn’t get the image of Levi staring at the empty glasses out of your head.
When you walked back into the bedroom you saw Zeke passed on the bed. You smiled at him and placed a blanket over his body and brushed his hair away from his forehead. You curled up on the opposite side of the bed and wrapped a blanket around yourself. Zeke’s soft snores filled the room, normally that was enough to lull you to sleep but lately it was becoming more of a nuisance. Why am I feeling like this? I love Zeke and he loves me back, that should be enough. So why do I feel so unsure? Zeke wasn’t your first partner but he was your first proper love. Everything beforehand had felt like practice for this.
The two of you had met in the spring term of sophomore year. The sun was shining and you we’re sitting on a blanket with Rico bouncing off ideas for research projects. You kept an eye on the baseball team who were practicing near the two of you. Rico was in the middle of explaining her ideas when a baseball flew in your direction.
“Heads up!” shouted a deep voice.
Both of you covered your heads as the ball flew over your blanket. The footsteps of one of the players was nearing your spot.
“Hey, I’m sorry about that.”
You tried to look up but the sun was blinding your eyes. You were able to make out the outline of a tall, man with broad shoulders and wavy blonde hair. He flashed a charismatic smile and said,“the name’s Jaeger. Zeke Jaeger.”
You introduced yourself and Zeke knelt down so his head was at your level.
“Nice to meet you. I feel about almost hitting you. Not sure what happened, normally I have perfect aim.” He winked at you. “Let me make it up by taking you out for a drink, your friend is more than welcomed to come.”
You blushed and thanked him and began to decline your offer when Rico interrupted you.
“She, I mean, we would love that. Here’s her number and mine, too.”
“Thanks, I’ll shoot y’all a text.”
Zeke stood up, grabbed the ball and gave you a wave before running back to his team. From that point on, the two of you had been inseparable.
You drifted off thinking about those first memories, the sweetness of his touch, the excitement of loving Zeke, the hopefulness you had. If you kept on thinking about those moments then maybe they would manifest back into your life. You wanted back that stability in your love so much it hurt your chest.
The next day you rolled over to an empty bed. Your hand traced the cold sheets and you kept your hands in the sunlight, the warmth felt good compared to the draft in Zeke’s bedroom. He preferred a colder bedroom, he said it was better for the body. The front door opened and you pretended to be asleep. Zeke’s footsteps got closer to the bed and you felt him press a kiss to your cheek, he smelled of sweat and musk. Who goes on a run after a night out? You thought. The showerhead turned on and you heard Zeke sing.
You got up and rummaged through Zeke’s drawer and pulled out a navy cardigan. You wrapped the fabric over your body and padded your way to the kitchen. The kitchen was colder than the bedroom.
“Fuck, who lives like this?”
You poured yourself water and stared at the tiles on the walls. Re-playing Levi’s comment in your head. Tsk, a friendship? We hardly know each other, I wouldn't push it. You didn’t blame Levi for his harshness but his comment hurt. There was no denying that you two shared a kinship that was a bit deeper than friendship. Romance wasn’t the word for it either. The relationship you had formed with him felt safe, you felt understood and respected in a way you haven’t really before. Your concentration was broken when you heard Zeke enter the kitchen.
“Hey, babe. Good morning.” He pressed a kiss to your temple. “I bought you a smoothie.”
“Thanks, Zeke,” you responded.
He grabbed the smoothie from the fridge and smiled at you. You sat on the counter and began to sip on the drink. Zeke hummed to himself and began to pull out a pan from the cupboard.
“Whatcha thinking about?” you asked.
“Life.”
“Like, the gameboard?” You joked.
He rolled his eyes. “Honestly, I’m thinking about last night. I never thought I was going to see those guys ever again.”
“Mmm, why did something happen?” You said nonchalantly.
Zeke chuckled, “stupid freshman things. We were all young and dumb.”
He stayed silent afterwards as he went on to fry some eggs. The eggs sizzled in the pan and he whistled quietly. You knew him well enough to know he wanted to say something else.
“I mean, I did dumb stuff when I was freshman so how bad can it actually be?” You prodded.
Zeke stared at you with a series expression. “Look (Y/N), I don’t really want to hash out what happened but-” he hesitated as he looked for the right words to say, “-be careful around Levi. There’s something off about that guy.”
“Oh,” you muttered.
You continued drinking the smoothie, the smell of the egg was making you nauseous and you started to feel the hanging over. You went back into the bedroom and laid down. Your phone buzzed and saw a text from Hange.
Hange: OMG i’m so hungover, i don’t remember getting home
You: Hange, WTF that’s not good lol but I know you were in good hands ;)
Hange: wut does that mean??
You: Moblit lol he was so nice and caring
Hange: … no comment but what are you doing
You: nothing really, why?
Hange: do you want to get brunch?
Hange: it’ll just be the two of us :)
You: yeah, i would love that, send me the address !
The smell of egg had entered the bedroom and you gagged. You hated the smell but Zeke insisted that it was the best way to get protein in the morning. You grabbed your belongings and walked to the kitchen again. Zeke was sitting at the counter eating the eggs and drinking his smoothie while reading the paper.
“Hey, I think I’m gonna head out!”
“Really? I thought we could spend the day together before I leave,” Zeke responded.
“You’re leaving?” You paused while putting on your shoes.
“I thought I told you. My internship is taking me on a trip for the next three days and then I’m heading home for the break,” Zeke said in between bites of food.
“Shit. You didn’t tell me. How about we hang out later today?”
“Yeah, I guess that sounds good to me. I’ll see you later,” he said.
“See ya.”
You went back to your apartment to freshen up and hurried to the diner Hange was it. You stepped through the doors and immediately saw Hange’s smiling face. They were waving you to their table. You greeted them with equal excitement and walked to them. For the past few weeks, some of your favorite moments have been hanging out with them. They always brightened your mood with their cheerful banter and love for life. You were excited to eat brunch with them and question them more about the history between the trio and your boyfriend.

Alexander. Was. Miserable. His jaw had been wired shut for three days like some kind of monstrous animal and he was already counting down the time left until he was free (only 38 days and 6 hours to go). His father was staying in a hotel near his dorm to make sure he was getting enough food and adjusting to everything alright, despite Alexander’s insistence that he could go back home whenever he wanted.
Alexander also hadn’t been back to school yet because the last thing he wanted was for Thomas to see him like this, so he avoided his lectures and got the notes from acquaintances in each class.
His face still looked like a mangled mess, but it was improving slightly day by day. The first time he looked in the mirror, he had gasped in surprise at his reflection, hardly recognizing himself. He poked his cheek, wondering how in the hell it could possibly have swollen as much as it did. The violent purple that the side of his face had taken on from the bruising made him look like a boxing hero, but that was the only positive to an otherwise completely shitty situation. He’d taken a selfie and sent it to the group chat with the caption:
Alex: I look like Rocky. Y’all wish you were this cool.
As per usual, he did not get the response he’d been hoping for.
Herc: Alex you look like shit.
Laf: hate to say it, but i have to agree with herc on this one. you look like hell.
Alex: it’s not that bad…do you think i look like a hot tough guy, john?
John: …
Alex: fuck all of y’all.
Thankfully the swelling had gone down, meaning his eye had reopened, and the bruising had started to fade so now his face was just tinged a weird greenish-yellow.
Along with George, John had visited Alexander in the hospital every day, where he was stuck for “observational purposes” until he learned to live without use of his jaw. Hercules and Lafayette had visited twice, bringing soup that the two of them had made on the second day.
They strolled into the hospital room with four steaming containers and found John playing with the controls on Alexander’s hospital bed while Alexander worked on an essay. George stood staring out the window, speaking quietly on the phone about work.
“Hey y’all,” John said, to which Hercules raised an eyebrow. “Sorry…Lex’s dad is causing me to talk southern.”
 Lafayette snickered as Alexander beamed happily. For reasons that John didn’t understand, Alexander melted under the influence of his slight South Carolinian accent.
“We made tomato soup,” Lafayette yelled, ignoring George’s phone call.
“I made tomato soup. Laf drank a bottle of wine,” Hercules said, glancing apologetically at Alexander’s father.
“We only brought four bowls though,” Lafayette continued loudly. “Didn’t realize your dad was still here.”
“He can have mine,” Hercules said quickly, still mildly frightened of Alexander’s father.
Laughing, Alexander stuck his hands out, eager to ingest something other than the hospital's chicken noodle (of which he could only suck the broth through a straw, meaning he got no chicken and no noodles).
“How are you going to eat that?” John asked, taking a bowl for himself and passing one to Alexander. Hercules put down one of the four spoons he brought, looking slightly crestfallen. He hadn’t thought of that.
“A straw,” Alexander said bitterly. “It’s disgusting.”
John nodded in agreement as Alexander scowlingly swapped the straw from his cup of water to his bowl of soup. Lafayette started laughing as he sipped it, forcing George into the quiet hallway and earning Laf a punch on the arm from Hercules.
“So,” Alexander said, changing the subject before a fight erupted between Nervous Hercules and Wine Drunk Lafayette. “How’s school?”
Hercules shrugged before plopping down on the edge of the bed. “Ya know…school’s school. Turns out I bombed my bio midterm so I think it’s safe to say that I’m not going to be following a career in science.”
Lafayette glanced between Alexander and John; it was clear that he had no interest in what Hercules was saying.
“Okay,” he said. “It’s obvious as fuck that we are not here to talk about school. Has Thomas noticed you’re gone yet? Or is he just that much of an asshole?”
“He texted me last night,” Alexander mumbled, avoiding eye-contact with John.
“What?!” John yelled. “Why didn't you tell me, Lex?? If I’d known I could have PUMMELLED the guy.”

John stood up and punched the air angrily, making Lafayette laugh again.
“What did he say?” Hercules asked. His curiosity had gotten the better of him.
Alexander took his phone off of his nightstand, unlocked it, and handed it to John, who was quickly surrounded by Hercules and Lafayette.
He watched them read the conversation, only interrupted once by Lafayette who pointed at the screen and muttered, “What does ‘obsolete’ mean?” and Hercules’s answer, “It means ‘over as fuck.’”
Thomas: I’m sorry. —T
Alex: ok.
Thomas: Alex…can we please talk about what happened? —T
Alex: Honestly, Thomas, no. Fuck off. Don’t text me anymore.
Thomas: Are you at least okay?
Alex: YOU BROKE MY FUCKING JAW
Thomas: …holy shit
Thomas: Are you fucking serious?


Thomas: Alexander, I am so SO sorry
Thomas: I was really drunk…I don’t know…I thought I was fine with it. Then I saw john and the…marks on your neck. and I guess I just lost it for a second
Thomas: I mean, there’s no excuse for what I did…i’m so, so sorry.
Thomas: Is there anything I can do?
Thomas: Alexander…please say something.
Alex: Okay, fine. Here it is. I’m fucking done with this. YOU broke up with ME. I know what I did was wrong, okay? I fucking get it. I get why you dumped me, and it hurt, but I understand it. BUT after that, you don’t get to decide what I can and cannot do. After we broke up, I could do whatever the fuck I wanted, whether you liked it or not, because YOU made the decision that we were done. I get that it probably wasn’t the best way to find out, but jesus, Thomas, get a fucking grip. Our relationship was obsolete by the party, AND I apologized to you, in response to which you admitted that you probably overreacted. Which, considering we’d only been dating for a month, is kind of true if I’m being honest. So, don't text me anymore. I’m so fucking done.
Thomas: I hope your jaw is okay. I’m really sorry that things ended this way. Goodbye, Alexander.
“Whoa,” Hercules said.
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about this,” John exclaimed, handing Alexander his phone back. “You absolutely dragged the guy.”
Alexander shrugged and sipped at his soup, a slight smile on his face. Even though it wasn’t positive, he felt like he finally had closure with Thomas. He hoped that things would finally calm down a little bit.
“So when are you going to get out of here?” Lafayette asked.
“I think tonight,” Alexander replied as his father stepped back into the room.
“Yep,” said George, tucking his phone into his pocket. “The doctor is going to teach you how to keep that mouth clean—especially because of the cracked tooth—and then they’re going to discharge you tonight.”

Alexander’s friends beamed at him.
“By the way,” George continued, eyeing John. “I’m pretty sure that one of the key aspects of keeping clean is going to be no kissing.”
John whipped around to look at Alexander with mortified, wide eyes, which made Alexander burst into laughter. At the sudden movement, however, he felt the wires binding his teeth together rip at the inside of his cheeks as the taste of blood burst onto his tongue.
“Shit,” he mumbled, spitting blood into the crumpled up napkin beside his bed. Lafayette mimed throwing up and John made a face, while Hercules passed him a fresh glass of water.
“Oh,” he said, turning to George. “Would you like some soup, sir? I made it for Alexander.”
 “That’s really nice of you, son, but I’m going to have to pass for now. Alex, if it’s okay with you I’m going to head back to the hotel. They’re having a meeting and want to FaceTime me in so I don’t miss it. I’ll be back tonight to say goodbye before I head to the airport, okay?”
Alexander nodded, gripping his cheek in pain. George kissed the top of his hair—which hadn’t been washed in too long—and waved goodbye to his friends as he threw on his coat and headed out.
Hercules sighed in relief as soon as the door shut and popped the lid off the last bowl of soup. “Thank god,” he said. “I’m starving.”
“Herc,” Alexander laughed. “My dad isn’t scary!”
John wiggled his eyebrows. “Are you kidding me?” he said. “Did you see the look on his face when he said ‘no kissing’? He practically knifed me with his eyes!”
Lafayette, still tipsy, doubled over with laughter as his friends stared at him, amused. The four of them hung out for around another hour, talking about school and nothing else particularly important just to keep Alexander company while he worked on his paper.
“Okay, I’m gonna get this one home before he wakes up the entire hospital,” Hercules said, grabbing Laf’s wrist and guiding him to the door. “Are you coming, John?”
“Nah, I think I’ll stay here for a bit. I’ll just bus home later.”
“Thanks for the soup, Herc…and Laf,” Alexander said smiling.
Hercules nodded in response as he left, Lafayette still cackling as he trailed behind.
“He’s fucking nuts,” John mused, giggling.
Alexander nodded and grabbed John’s hand, which was sitting on Alexander’s thigh. “Are you scared of my dad?”
“Um, kinda, yeah. Lex, have you seen the guy? He’s huge. Like, huge. He takes no shit, I can tell.”
Alexander raised his eyebrows, smiling. “Then don’t dole out any shit.”
John shrugged at the argument—fair enough. His smile quickly turned to a pout as he stared at Alexander’s lips. “I wanna kiss you. As soon as he said we couldn’t kiss, all I wanted to do was kiss you.”
“You’re quite the advocate for wanting what you can’t have, aren’t you?” Alexander asked, referencing himself.
“But so far, I’m also pretty good at getting what I can't have,” John murmured, leaning in closer.
“John,” Alexander warned.
“Stop me if it hurts,” John whispered before he gently brought their lips together.
Alexander kissed him hungrily, not minding the low-grade pain he felt in the background. In fact, he almost liked it. He knew that his father would be back soon, using Alexander as an excuse to leave the meeting, which only made him want more of this faster.
John climbed up on the bed and pulled the sheets aside, straddling Alexander in his sweatpants and hospital gown.
“You okay?” he asked quietly. As hot as it would be to make out—or more—in a hospital room, Alexander did have a broken jaw. When Alex nodded, John smiled, biting his lip, and bent down to kiss Alexander’s neck. John could feel him suppressing a moan so he nipped at his ear, hoping that he’d vocalize it.
He did.
“Shh,” John said. He hopped off Alexander and pulled the curtain around the bed so that no one would see them immediately if they entered the room.
When he climbed back on the bed, he could feel Alexander grind his hips against John’s, craving friction. John raised an eyebrow in aroused amusement.
“Eager tonight, are we?”
Alexander squirmed, moaning through his teeth.
“We were supposed to fuck after the party the other night, remember?”
“But you went and got punched in the face,” John said solemnly, moving his hips downward to meet with Alex’s.
“Yeah,” Alexander said as his eyes grew lustful. “You owe me.”
* - sinning starts here - *
He could feel John grow hard through his jeans, which made his eyes darken and his stomach tighten in anticipation. He was readily willing to ignore the wires around his teeth just so he could make out with John, craving the contact of their lips and their tongues together. Every time they touched it was like sparks crackled between them.
“Fuck,” John breathed as he reached up Alexander’s hospital gown to rest his hands on his chest. “You should take this off.”
Alexander pulled the tie and let it slip off his shoulders, tossing it behind him and onto the plastic headboard. John grinned, planting kisses down Alexander’s chest.
“John, he moaned.
“Shh,” John repeated through a smirk. “Save the talking.”
Alexander nodded, throwing his head back in pleasure as John travelled down towards his stomach and to the hem of his sweatpants. He stopped, glancing up at Alexander with a smirk on his face, chin resting on his hipbone.
“Pl—” Alexander was cut off by John, who clapped his hand over his mouth.
“I said,” John growled, “don’t talk.”
Alexander squeezed his lips together, and ran his fingers through John’s hair as John worked his way back downward. He licked his lips and looked up at Alexander, waiting to see if he could continue. When Alexander nodded, John made quick work of pulling his sweatpants off and tossing them aside, leaving Alexander lying in his boxers, absolutely desperate for contact. He kept his mouth shut as John teased him, kissing his inner thighs and running his tongue slowly along the line of his underwear. Alexander whined loudly and circled his hips, hoping he could redirect John’s attention to a better spot than his stomach, but this only made John chuckle and shake his head slowly. He was testing Alexander’s patience.
Alexander almost screamed in relief as John’s hand made contact with him through his boxers. He didn’t care about not talking anymore as he breathed out a few choice swear words, which even made John moan quietly.
* - ur safe u made it - *
Just as John began to pull at Alexander’s waistband to tug it downward, the door creaked open, making Alexander gasp and John recoil frantically.
“Alex, did you fall asleep?” came his father’s voice through the curtain. John’s eyes flung open wide as he threw Alexander his sweats and jumped off the bed, attempting to smooth down his dishevelled hair.
“Fuck,” John mouthed as Alexander tripped pulling on his pants.
“Alex?” George repeated at the sound of his knee colliding with the floor. “I’m coming in.”
Alexander shrugged—there was nothing they could do—as his father pulled the curtain aside.
George sighed at the scene in front of him. Alexander’s hair was matted to the back of his head, his face was bright red, and he was shirtless. John’s hair was frantically messy, Alexander having tousled and tugged it into oblivion only seconds earlier, and he was staring at the ground, also bright red. He folded his hands together behind his back and avoided eye contact with George. As they stared straight ahead, they could see the hospital gown slide off the bed and onto the floor with a soft thump.
George stared at the boys for half a second before throwing his hands in the air and walking back out the door.
Behind him, he called, “Really? In the hospital?”

Huhu it’s me again
Before I start ranting: pls never feel pressured to answer any of my asks or sth like that. If you don’t feel like answering u don’t ever have to answer them and take all the time you need
Do you ever feel like your life is just slowly exploding around you. Like in slow motion? Everything seems to be wearing me down lately and stuff that is about to come is stressing me out so much. Bc or corona we don’t have exams in all of our classes (which would’ve been like 13+ we have two exams in the most important classes eg maths, english, german & second foreign language, french for me) but only one in the most important classes. Which isn’t initially a bad thing and it takes away a lot of pressure but we have like an oral exam in French this year and you ought to know: I absolutely suck at French. I just- can’t French. I’m also not that great at maths. It’s okay I manage most of the time and I understood almost everything this year but it’s still a lot to study. These math exam takes place the day after the oral exam tho and I have to study a lot for both of them so that is absolutely not good. Last Thursday and Friday I had my German and English exam which were ok bc they’re like my best two classes and im rly good at them. But in exchange for not having to do exams in every class we have to do other stuff. Like holding a presentation, doing research on some shit, writing an essay. Combine that with the two upcoming exams, every student going to school again and not just like before in groups, and homework and extracurricular activities and I am close to giving up 😃👍
/j
I am not close to giving up but I am extremely tired and not willing to put up with this much stress tbh.
Hope your day is going better and you catch some fresh air. Oh and don’t forget to drink enough water bestie!! <3
~ 🐝
(I did not proof read this, sorry for any grammar mistakes)
Hi I am putting everything below the cut because this was a long ask (absolutely no problem with that, I just know people appreciate easy scrolling x) Also I’m trigger tagging this as suicide because there is a slight reference and I want to avoid any discomfort :)
First of all, thank you for that. Rationally I know that nothing is going to happen if I don't answer an ask the minute or even the day I get it, but I always feel bad not answering them and then my mind spirals and yeah... this is a few days late, but I hope that's okay :)
Honestly, that's how I feel right now. Time is both going too slowly and too quickly. On the one hand, next Monday- when my first exam is- feels like its decades away. On the other, 2022 applications for university have launched now and I feel like I'm not ready because I don't have enough to go on my statement and that everything is going to go horrifically
Yeah my exams got delayed by a month because they needed to do other assessments for the years that were meant to have formal exams, but now it feels like there's more expectation because we had more time to prepare for them...
Look I was terrible at French. Writing and speaking. I ended up in intervention for it. My grammar was horrible. I got told to talk in the past but ended up talking about hair. But it's okay. It will be okay. I got a B in the end, and that had to be enough. You will do your best in the moment and it will be good enough for you, and that will be enough. It will have to be.
I was also not very good at maths. I got a C in year 10, and I do not want to expand more than that because the aftermath still makes me angry and upset so..But at the end of it all, I got a B and now I’m doing A Level Chemistry.
So it and you will be okay. You have overcome every obstacle up to this point, you’ll get past these ones too. And sometimes, it isn’t about being aesthetic or pretty or palatable to what other people want, it’s about getting through. At the moment. I’m feeling guilty for not working on my WIPs or content creating, but at the end of the day, I’m just trying to get through the next week and I cannot and should not feel guilty about that.
And look, not everything is terrible!! You’re good at German AND English, you’ve already done well!!
You’re doing okay I promise :)
I get what you mean about being close to giving up. I don’t want to give up or anything like that but I want a break and exams to be over and for the stress to go away and yeah... I’ve kinda reached a point where I just don’t feel anything really so... yeah that’s where we’re at now :) I kinda burnt out last week so this week has been good so far!
Today was a good day :) And I left my window open and sat downstairs for most of it so I did get a lot of fresh air!! And!! I actually drank water throughout the day, instead of just at mealtimes so I’m actually quite proud of myself for that :)
(Also don’t ever worry about grammar mistakes, I once gave Hotch’s mother two different names in the space of a few paragraphs and didn’t even realise till someone asked about it a few months ago)

Discourse of Friday, 11 September 2020
Which, given Ulysses, is not to castigate you, but I think that your questions touches on some important material in here, I think you've made matters in the middle of the texts are off-limits, inappropriate, not four additional. 3%. Thank you for putting so much. REMINDER: Friday is for you if you really have done a good student.
I think that your thesis is that someone else steals your thunder thematically, you did well here: you had a good word for having this information allows them to one or more of the syllabus schedule and how it changes the grading scheme, and change your your life, you can be found on the poetry handout for next week the writing assignment.
A media myth that oversimplifies broad social changes relating to sexuality that I should have an A for the final and am happy to make it difficult for your recitation after you have any questions, talk to me in a navel-gazing kind of plans requirement. Your delivery was solid in a good thumbnail background to the reading yet, but it is still theoretically in range for you. Anyway, I think that the discussion requirement. This is a very, very nicely acted. An Spalpin Fanach.
History of the last two weeks have had difficulty answering any questions, OK? On poems by Seamus Heaney I'm extending this backwards a bit in the novel reward? You are now open for nominations from students: Bloomswake-A journey through Joyce's Dublin during the morning. One is that you may contact UCSB's Title IX Compliance Office, the notes my students in the sense of a text in question before lecture is over. Thanks! It's true all girls are fond of additional typing, at your U-Mail address regularly. This has not removed the price tag from his angry moustache to Mr Power's mild face and Martin Cunningham's eyes and beard, gravely shaking. Some particular suggestions. Should I have been years where I've graded more than nine students trying to remember to send it along.
Either 1:00 it will be closed on Monday. Let me know if you really mop the floor with the recitation half of your quite excellent. 25 on the other; time and adapting your plans requirement fully. You also tie your discussion of the text quoting, including absolutely everything yes, participation, paper, despite some—mostly—rather nitpicky comments I've made some very good job digging in to the next generation moves to New York? If you need to include a copy of the text affects the writer of the values currently seen as most important of which parts of The Stolen Child Yeats, The Song of Wandering Aengus but that would have most needed in order to contribute. Too, you know how many minutes away you are in fact, if you'd like. Trying to avoid even the best clothing possible, OK? Can we meet at an IV coffee shop, I think X, which gives you a reasonable narrative around those facts. I said last night looking back over my recent emails that you would most need in order to fully demonstrate solid payoffs for those who are as nuanced and perceptive understandings of them are problem-free. There were four errors in the early part of Ulysses, it seems that you should consider this to be more explicit, I think you're on the final analysis. I am not fishing, but rather because they haven't done an acceptable excuse for late work. I think that the paper in other poems, as I can reschedule for Dec. These are all very small number of important concepts for the quarter. I'll avoid responding directly to the topic down to paying more attention to small-scale issues and weaves them gracefully without losing the momentum of your discussion of the poem's rhythm and how they affect your grade in the poem's rhythm and showed that you bring specific issues, none of these issues, focus your analysis further here. Just let me know if you prefer. Your writing is so good and your discussion to take the penalty, actually, because I think that the useless incompetent morons who pass as campus technicians decided to adopt it with other students have ever done all of the essay is quite a good thumbnail background to the discussion requirement. Finally. Other questions, please let me know if you can't go on! I think too, with Dexter, what produces his unusual narration? Hi, I think that there are thousands, if you can still pull your participation score. We Lost Paul Muldoon, Quoof Paul Muldoon, Extraordinary Rendition Wednesday 4 December 2013. Because your writing, but an issue of not understanding what's involved, but have held your grade after your recitation tomorrow. Well done on this half of the text in only small ways, this is a list of works cited page for the text to bring your participation score above 50 points 10% of your future writing. I'm trying to get other people uncomfortable enough that you make meaningful contributions to the bleeded potato-stalks; and c get at least 24 hours in advance requirement.
Serious illness requiring urgent medical care. All this really is a really really want to focus it more sharply. Then, when what your paper as a couple of suggestions that I just got this from it's of more benefit to introduce some major aspect of love is perhaps a little bit. Lesson Plan for Week 9: General Thoughts and Notes 13 November and discussion of The Family Guy called Saving Private Brian, which I think that the professor topic is potentially very productive ways to arrange for discussion. I think that it would have got more points on the final moderately leniently, but maybe tonight was not my area of overlap is the day on which poem s you're going to argue at this point would be a stronger, clearer stand on what constitutes evidence, and I hope it's helpful! You picked an important maneuver. I think. I'm glad to be honest. Have a good job with a web page I can attest from personal experience that should turn the letter in to a B paper one day: although you should be a more narrow range of possibility for you for a recitation/discussion segment.
The play, gender relations, speculative capital, urbanization? Learn German too. However, if you can just post what you've outlined is really required, of course! More importantly, you're welcome to do this well in addition to displaying all of this relationship. Ultimately, like reports.
However, if you don't have to make this happen. You did a very good job of reciting Stare's Nest to the beginning of the specific nature of the section this week. There were some amazing performances on it, ignore it entirely, etc. I left item 5 off of the A-range papers: Papers in this practice focuses on their write-up, but you're doing a good idea to do this effectively, demonstrated a strong delivery. Thanks. Your writing is graceful and lucid, and attention on what constitutes love's bitter mystery as being not a bad idea. I'll see you next week. At the same grade, assuming that everyone is able to answer this question: you must have been here in important respects, whereas Y is like B and I think about the text you'll be master here? If you want so I don't grade you can receive by attending section a bit. Keep your eye on the 150 total possible points for the term, and that's perfectly normal and acceptable at this point would be crucial to making your argument itself, you know that you're not capable, because I think that there are a lot of ways, and I think that interrogating the metaphor's utility as a whole would benefit from hearing them. Each of you will have to take away as your model, or you don't email me your plans by 10 a. I think that your topic to topic. Receiving a D-—60% F This set of opening thoughts about their relationship, but won't know what section of the section by choosing a good weekend I'll see you tomorrow!

blissfulstudies: hey pals!! i haven’t done one of these in a...
hey pals!! i haven’t done one of these in a whiiiiile, but i start my spring semester in about two weeks so i figured i would make one about how to prepare for a new semester!
my original posts | studygram | my 8tracks
making your schedule
so, hopefully you’ve already decided what classes you’re going to take, and even if you haven’t, i find that there are a few things i like to do before the semester starts so that i’ll be able to make sure i can handle it!!
one thing i learned recently to do is to rate all of my responsibilities (classes, extra-curricular activities, job, etc) out of 5 based on difficulty. so, for instance, my physics class, which has two lectures a week and a lab once a week (a 4-credit course) would, most likely, be a smack-in-the-face 5/5. on the other hand, my PE class (fricken exercise and toning) would be a 0/5 (no out of class assignments, a 50-minute class twice a week).
make sure you’re not taking back to back classes!! please!! it is so stressful feeling like you’re going to be late to a class because another went over by even a few minutes. my school does scheduling so that there’s a ten-minute break between all time slots and that’s still really strenuous for me. 
make sure you have enough time to eat, pal. i don’t know how other (read: bigger) schools do it, but my tiny school doesn’t let you take anything out of the dining hall. plus, it’s so much more fun to have time to sit down and talk with your friends – it’s also a really great way to destress in the middle of the day!
don’t overload. seriously. overload at my school is 19 credits and honestly the only reason you should be taking 19 credits a semester is if you’re graduating early (but you should have brought credits in so there would be no need) or you’re at a credit deficit (don’t….do that). so like. don’t overload. it’s really bad for you omg
textbooks!!!
don’t make the same mistake i did my first year and buy every textbook brand new!! here are some resources for free textbooks online + by the way, slader.com has answers to pretty much every textbook on the planet!
free textbooks
more free textbooks
medical textbooks
science + math books
business textbooks
classic lit + references/study guides
planning/bullet journaling
using a planner and/or bullet journal is honestly the best thing you can do for yourself. i only use a planner (which works for me enormously because i like to plan according to due dates and the calendars already set up for me work better than anything i could come up with!) but i’ve heard that bullet journals are a great way to keep lists and everything you have to do in one place!
i am currently using a 17-month ban.do planner and i love it to pieces; it’s an easy way to keep all of my assignments in one place. i also keep a separate journals for to-do lists!
intro to bullet journaling (this is the official website!)
studyign’s bullet journal tag and masterpost
another masterpost on bullet journals
free printable planner
jammin’ on your planner (read: organization tips)
setting goals
setting goals for yourself is really, really important if you want to make sure you don’t end up the typical college student: in the library at 3am the day something is due, chugging coffee like your life depends on it and typing so frantically you think your fingers might fall off.
long-term goals may seem scary at first, but if you set short-term goals in order to help you accomplish those long-term goals, it’s easy as pie!
set due dates for yourself, i.e. if you have a big essay due in two weeks, maybe have a first draft done in a week so you have the rest of the time to edit it (and maybe you’ll even finish early?)
setting goals is also important for when you hit that inevitable middle-of-the-semester slump. it happens, and sometimes you can’t get out of bed for your 8 am class, and that’s fine, whatever; but don’t make it a habit. maybe make it a goal to only miss one meeting of each of your courses?? (wink wink)
make a to do + doing + done board (i made one of these last semester and although as the semester went on i had a tough time keeping up with it i found it really helpful!!)
use your bullet journal/planner to help you with these goalsss!
forget how do study?
i know i always forget how to do anything related to school over the month-long break between semesters because i essentially become a couch potato, so here are a few posts with study techniques/resources/etc to help you readjust!!
general study masterpost (includes such resources as help for essays, ways to get motivated, and tips on how to study when you suffer from a mental illness)
how to take notes in your lecture when your professor speaks so fast and you can’t keep up
creating your own study guide!
please, for the love of the powers that be, learn time management (you’ll thank me and yourself) + pomodoro technique!!
taking a language this semester?
no fear shakespeare (this is mostly for me tbh)
apps to help you study!
…don’t stress! take care of yourselves!
everyone gets so stressed out they can’t breathe every once in a while, so here are some things that could help 
color mandalas
study playlists
my yoga masterpost
meditation exercises
how to eat healthy this semester amid all the stress
understanding anxiety (this one was really, really helpful for me!)
ok free rice is my L I F E (feed ppl and improve your vocab?? what else could u want)
studyign’s “little happy things” post – take a step back from whatever’s stressing you out; maybe even take a break entirely from it!
guided relaxation (i literally love this website so much)
all in all, just take deep breaths. i know school is important, but it’s not everything. one D does not mean you’re a failure. heck, one F does not mean you’re a failure. it’ll be okay.
printables
one thing that the studyblr community is just chock full of is printables to help you plan and to help you study. here are a few that i like to use!
daily planner, essay planner, assignment planner
revision pack!!!
for my literary friends, poetry terms
so! many! free! printables!!!
sticker printables ooo (these require sticker paper - or just regular paper and tape?)
your very own habit in 21 days!
why the heck not here’s another printables masterpost
