Hello! Someone genuinely trying to understand and perhaps unlearn some reactionary tendencies. With the response to that anon about "not asking if you're a pro or anti", the response about "imagine if they put this much effort into protecting real kids" definitely got me thinking. So... Is an adult shipping children and finding that hot NEVER a red flag? Or is it case by case on seeing how that person handles the distinction between fiction and reality in other things? And bringing the issue of real kids into it, if a real kid who has been abused sees someone shipping kids and finds that a red flag in that person, that... No, no I juicy answered my own question on that one. Block them and cultivate your own experience.
hi there anon, and congrats on trying to unlearn some things! and great job catching yourself at the end there, that's exactly correct.
I will start by saying this right out of the gate: fundamentally, I do not really give a shit about what made up scenarios about fictional characters people are jorking it to in private. I am, first and foremost, interested in how they are interacting with actual, real people.
"but Makenzie are you saying people who look at sexually explicit images of real human kids should be allowed near children?" no I'm not. please note that I was specifically talking about people engaging with fictional characters who are, you know, not real and do not have feelings and therefore cannot actually be hurt, traumatized, abused, etc, in any way that actually matters. I want to be so clear about this: you can genuinely think whatever vile things you want about fictional characters. you can enjoy any problematic shit you want with little guys who don't actually exist.
like, here's an example I use a lot: I'm kind of a huge Batman fan. don't know if you could tell that or not, I'm pretty subtle about it. if you spend any time in the Batman mythos, you know that this is a story where you just kind of have to take for granted that our hero is a billionaire using his vast wealth to dispatch vigilante justice with military grade weaponry and a small army of child soldiers and cop friends to help him put people in prison. these are moral quandaries that are discussed and acknowledged within the story, but fundamentally the universe is always going to involve billionaire vigilantism and child soldiers and the so-called carceral justice system. that's just the price of admission if you're gonna read Batman.
and like. I spend a lot of time in that world. I love Batman, I love his child soldiers. he's my little blorbo or whatever. but like, at no point have I said "yeah, fuck it, preteens should be learning martial arts to fight domestic terrorists, actually. I think Elon Musk SHOULD be allowed to put on a fursuit and beat up criminals. cops need more funding." no amount of Batman comics can make me believe or act on any of those things because, you know, I'm a person with a brain and I know the difference between "thing that makes a good story" and "thing that should actually happen for real."
and the thing is that genuinely, honestly, if someone thought that it was a red flag that I like Batman, and that enjoying Batman comics was somehow a red flag indicating that I'm fine with violence being done against real, actual children? I would think that person was a nut, if I can be super real. like, I'm thinking about somebody trying to make the case that I shouldn't be allowed to hang out with my nephew because I enjoy the fictional character of Robin so clearly I'm going to kill my nephew's parents in front of him to try to get him into vigilante justice. or if someone attempted to bar me from teaching my 4th-6th grade sex ed classes on the grounds that I was obviously going to teach them to do karate to clowns instead of how their reproductive systems worked.
(although, lets be real, there are a lot of politicians who would MUCH rather let little kids cage fight each other than learn anything about safer sex.)
this doesn't just apply to morally bad things, either, btw. I also read a lot of romance novels, especially hetero romances. and the thing is, not one of those books has made me want to fall in love with a ruggedly handsome but condescending straight man. hell, none of them have made me want to fall in love with anybody, period. that's not really something I'm interested in for myself, it's just a fun and frequently funny dynamic to explore. I'm hardly the first queer person to point out that the allegations that queer media "turns kids gay/trans" is obviously bullshit since the vertible mountain of cishet media evidently failed to turn any of us straight/cis, you know?
my point being: no, I genuinely don't think it's often, if ever, reasonable to judge someone's actual, real life morals by how they interact with fiction.
I'm going to say something so vulnerable right now, because we're in a safe space here: since you asked me this very reasonable question, you evidently value my judgment and perspective at least a little bit. and I once read and thoroughly enjoyed a fic in which Dr. Horrible, from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, gets fucked by a sapient evil horse. and I don't think that makes me a morally reprehensible person, or a person who advocates for real human beings having real sex with real horses. I think it just makes me kind of a weirdo with a bullshit tolerance.
if you want to hear a MUCH more thorough take on this, complete with addressing the issue of shipping fictional children, I cannot recommend Princess Weekes' video essay enough:

Yan Entity + [G.N] Fastfood Worker Reader
Why the ice cream machine at your job doesn't work anymore. Aka a shitpost made with a little too much effort.
[Suggestive]
"Y/n! Machine's broke!"
"So-?"
"..Can you fix it?"
You shove your earpiece into the hands of your coworker. As the person who's been on board the longest aside from your manager, wherever they are, and just sane enough to tell the tale the recent hires often ran to you for help with the issue of the day. Or hour, if you're really unlucky- By now, this place has broken you down enough that you simply carry through the task at hand under the guide of ancient instruction manuals you found lying around. You were used to doing things about your pay grade, but this one was personal.
The ice cream was what kept you pushing. Arguably the only thing edible on the menu, with enough taste to back that claim up. Rich, creamy, and a hundred percent free for members of the staff. At the start of your break or during the end of your shift you'd grab a cone to relish in the fruit of your hard labor with frozen goodness.
You walk over the kitchen side of the room. The evening rush was dying down and it was just you and your coworker today so that only left you and whoever was sitting atop the machine you were sent to fix in the area.
"Hellooo there~"
Maybe it's time you go check on the drive in window. Gets lonely this time of night.
The intruder kicks their feet against the side of the machine, humming along happily to the beat. You recognize them as the coworker who quit just the other day, but something's off. Their head bends at an odd angle to get a better look at you from their position; eyes milky white rather than the baby blues remember and their skin ghostly pale, lines of foam frothed in the corner of their lips. Their uniform seemed dated with the outfit painted white as apposed to the typical burnt red and the patch on their shirt depicting the pair of horns floating over an ice cream cone. You can see something roll back on their ashen tongue as they speak again.
"Missed you today."
"You quit four days ago."
"This...." They look at their badge. "Teri individual certainly did. I on the other hand have been here for quite a while and probably the first to see what's so great about you. Nice warm hands and willing to take it straight from the nozzle."
You knew that twenty wasn't worth taking that bet. "That was one time."
"Seven, actually. Believe me I kept track.
"Whatever. Can you move so I can fix the machine?"
"That's a nice looking cone right there."
You follow their eyes. There's an ice cream cone on the counter within arm's reach - topped with the perfect swirl that put your attempts to a murky grave. "What about it?"
"Go on- Taste it. You deserve a little something special after all your effort."
"I really have to fix the machine..."
"Do this and it'll run good as new. I promise."
You pick up the cone. Your "coworker" straights up like a post and place their hands between their legs as they lean in, dipping so far it looked like they were ready to pounce. Tossing them a sideeye, you course your tongue upside the peaked curves of the treat. Probably not the best course of action as you catch the moment their soul figuratively leaves their body. Still, their stare held no weight compared to the fluffy mount of heaven melting on your tongue. The best soft serve you've had by far. You nurse the tip, wanting to savor the treat-
"Keeping going."
But you haven't the time for such pleasantries. Sweeping the cream to the back of your mouth with your tongue, the cone's quickly disappears pass your lips. The ice cream drips and dribbles down your chin, creating suction between the pause you take between licks. Your coworker focuses intensely on the sneaks of the pink muscle lapping at the dessert, practically crushing their hands with their thighs. That foam hanging from their maw bubblish vigorously and glows a haunting blue as they hiss through their teeth. The machine begins to shake.
"Stick it out...."
You stick your tongue out, padding a little too hard against the cone. What's left of the scoop breaks off and runs down the back of your hand, caught by your mouth before it could hit the floor. You shutter as some misses and goes down your shirt. Your coworker doesn't have the dignity to try hiding the moan rippling through their worn throat. Their head rolls back as does their eyes, fog trailing into the air as they claw at their neck. The machine's lights flicker rapidly between red and green, melted ice cream overflowing the edge of the table and onto the floor disbursing through the pipes in thick, fluid streams.
"Yes- you absolute tease. I've waited to see this for so long. Always leaving right when things get good. You don't know how happy I get seeing you every during your breaks. You always look so upset, but then- you come to me..."
You force swallow the ice cream in your mouth, fighting the the ache traveling from jaw to your brain. You briefly tongue the crater left in the cone forgetting about your company momentarily. Realization snapping back, you bite around the shell and shovel it in your mouth once it able. Everything was sticky. Your face, hands, upper chest and mostly uniform.
Your coworker hops off the machine, making quick work of shoving your fingers in their mouth. The cavity and their tongue was wet and slick, but in a way it felt like putting your hand in a cooler with some kind of frozen serpant lying in wait. They clean your fingers in earnest, getting through each nook and even beneath your nails. Doing the same with your opposite, they finally suckle on the collar of your shirt as if to clean it just the same. Their teeth ghost a mark over your skin. You shove them off you.
"That's enough."
"For now." Your coworker surprises you with one more lick scoring the sticky mess staining your cheek. The tip of their tongue manages to hit your lips. With that same domestic flare, they grab the tail end of your apron and use it to wipe up the remaining slick, smiling as if they'd be waiting for you to come home from your busy life all day.
"I hope we see each other again soon. I mean we will, but maybe next time I'll put on something more... comfort. Take care, gorgeous."
Your coworker winks - wandering off towards the back with one lingering smile. They blow a kiss as their body dips behind the door.
"Hey, Y/n did you get the machine fixed?"
Your pants legs sag turning in the flood below. "When you think about it do we really need ice cream?"

I remember this one shot where tim & bruce swaps bodies while bruce is as batman in some jla meeting. Tim just continues it perfectly.
This is the body swap au, btw
Anyways, would Tim do a good job as Batman?. I think if Tim sees the swap as something brief he would do his best. (But we all make them swap long enough to Tim having enough time for long term plans) so if Tim gaslights himself into believing they would swap back after some weeks, he would do better. He thinks he can do better as a way to show he can be Batman without being a evil one(he's fighting the gun Batman allegations).
Still, it would be funny that in his "I'm gonna fix Bruce's life while am here plan".
Tim acts less as a classic moody batman while in the atalaya. Gives more and kind advice. He talks with Superman about his situation with Kon. He helps Flash with his eating schedule. He helps Arthur with whatever is going on in Atlantis. He shuts off all of the surveillance on Bruce's coworkers, just to mess with Bruce.
He just avoids Martian tho.
Then, it's been a month since the swap. They don't seem to find any way back. Tim cannot lie to himself anymore and the Batman duties are becoming way too much.
Then Bruce dies in Tim's body.
Tim never wanted to be Batman, neither to be like Bruce. But he messed Tim up. Tim never wanted to be like Bruce Wayne. And now he is living his nightmare, every day since Bruce death, Tim has to wake up and avoid his reflection. Tim never wanted to be like Bruce Wayne and now everyone call him the wrong name. Bruce died and Tim does what he does best, he sacrifices. He ditchs his identity any hope of being Tim Drake, so Batman can rise once again.
.
.
(The last paragraph is a little darker end of the version of this au where Bruce dies in Tim's body. I happily would read some of your ideas where none of them dies tho. There's just so many aspects os this au we can develop more, also we need more bruce pov of this).
Here is the post being referenced!
[I'm sorry to say that 90% of Bruce POV's are just gonna be him suffering.... I can try, though. Put up a valiant effort]
Let's really pack in that angst, shall we?
For this AU, Tim has been compared to Bruce so many fucking times.
At first, despite his shaky relationship with the grieving man, he took it as a compliment. He was like his hero Batman!
It started with Alfred fondly tutting over Tim's capacity to neglect self care duties and his shared interests. The older man would sarcastically ask Tim if he was following Bruce's footsteps of being a loner who sits in his basement all day (just teasing and joking and slight reprimanding).
Then there were the heroes that remarked on Robin's uncanny ability to do the batglare or translate Bruce's grunts.
When Steph and Tim got into arguments (and Tim was being a grade A asshole), Steph would compare Tim's emotional incapability and distrust with Batman's.
Dick, in the heat of the moment, has yelled at Tim to stop acting like Bruce (they got ice cream afterwards as an apology).
Jason has tsked and grumbled and shouted about Tim being molded into Bruce's shape/image.
Even Babs has made a comment or two.
While they didn't mean to hurt Tim (unless they were fighting [for which they would both usually make up and apologize]), it caused a small dig and insecurity to Tim's own self-image.
He wanted Bruce to be proud of him.
Tim wanted to be nothing like Bruce.
Then you add on the 16th birthday, Bruce's shit with Steph, how Bruce treats his other kids, other canon events, gun Batman, and Tim losing the rose-colored glasses of childhood?
Yeah. Tim doesn't want to be Bruce.
It seems fitting, after stealing Robin, that he'd get stuck under the name of the man he grew to see as a warning.
It figures that his choice in saving Batman lead to Tim's loss of self.
[Hmm... I can do another post chatting about Bruce or no one dying if you would like.... Or someone else dying before the truth comes out :)]

Thoughts and pictures - S3E4
I've never been that slow with a Young Royals rewatch >< It's hard for me to get through this season (especially now that I'm in the last 3 episodes...)
Tumblr media
And here we go, starting directly with a very sad Simon 😞 Omar plays a crying Simon way too well, it breaks my heart every damn time...
Tumblr media
I like hearing Wilhelm call Simon his boyfriend 🥰 Also is it me, or do we have a lot more close up shots in season 3? (No clue if that's what it's called, I mean shots that are very zoomed in on their faces like this one.)
Tumblr media
Vincent drawing a dick on the ground, of course... And I don't get his explanation: "why even try if there's no reward for the effort?". It means if the school closes, they all won't graduate and have to do their grade all over again? Surely if they're taking tests and all, it counts for something? Why fail an important test and take the risk to fail your year? 🤔 (Not gonna lie, most of Vincent's reactions to what's happening to the school this season left me quite perplexed ^^') And if it's just the graduation ceremony that is cancelled, it still doesn't mean they're not graduating, does it? 🤔
Tumblr media
But can you really Simon?
And Wilhelm repeating his mother's words "it's a privilege, not a punishment" breaks my heart >< (Also I'm gonna be a little shit about it but even the Royals have a choice in the end about accepting or not their role and job: after all, Wille is gonna renounce it in 2 episodes :p)
Tumblr media
I do like what he said about the role of the royal family in Sweden! We have very little information on that in the show so I appreciate it here. And he looks so pretty in this light!
Tumblr media
Wilhelm sounded so surprised that Farima said yes immediately when he told her they needed to help Simon. He was expecting to have to fight them on that.
Tumblr media
Why did he have to delete his whole account? Why not just put it on private? (I know I've read in several fanfics the idea that searching and deleting through all the new people who followed him before going on private would be too much of a hassle but I feel like it's a stretch, and an acceptable price to pay to keep his account?)
Tumblr media
Their conversation about Wilhelm's choice of foundation makes me so so sad! I had hoped that he would see Simon's point of view on how he can use his role as Crown Prince to try and make things better! I was actually pretty surprised that he was 100% not interested. It's a new facet of Wilhelm's personality that we hadn't really seen before I guess? And it feels like it creates a serious gap between them, it shows that they're not on the same page at all about a pretty serious subject (which is not good for the future of their relationship...)
Tumblr media
This shot of these 3 made me laugh :p
Tumblr media
This one hurts... Another crack in their relationship 😩 Simon is realizing how different they are. He knew they were but this season is showing us a side of Wilhelm that just seems incompatible with Simon :/ It's not just differences in tastes or personality, now it's differences in their core values also. And that is a huge problem.
Tumblr media
So we learn that Simon mostly avoided Micke for Sara's sake. Or maybe he's exaggerating that fact because he's really angry at her.
Tumblr media
The sit-in scene is very funny, they're all so dramatic, thinking they might starve to death xD I didn't think that August's eating disorder would be confirmed this way! Also I guess Vincent does have ADHD then? It was not just an excuse to get pills.
Tumblr media
"Because we are different?" Yeah... that's what this episode is really about, how different you both are. Which wouldn't be an issue for me if it was less about such important matters :/ I wish we had seen them learn more from each other this season, instead of being in conflict to much.
Tumblr media
I agree with Felice that it's getting out of hand! (I still enjoy the whole thing though 😁). I don't dislike Stella as much as a lot of people seem to, but I don't like her in this scene and how she talks to Felice!
Tumblr media
Cutest scene of the episode.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I adore this scene. It makes me want to cry. I love them both and I'm so happy that they're slowly finding their way back to each other <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Erik was there." This sceeeeene!! Such a punch in the face, so fucking terrible >< (So well acted also!!)
Tumblr media
Another trauma for my poor boy...
So lots of mixed feelings with this episode! I'm very frustrated with Wilhelm and his reactions, but I love the Sara arc. I really like the end of the episode, with some very good scenes. But now I really don't wanna go watch the next one ><

Babysitting for the Neighbor - 1
This is a story co-written by the amazing @baby-erica! Go check out her amazing blog!
It was another Friday night heading out to the bars after a long week of classes. Mads, a 22-year-old political science major at the local university, lived in a small, crowded house with four of his best friends from college. The house was located in a nice neighborhood near the university. Mads loved his house for a number of reasons. He had great roommates. The layout of the place was perfect for hosting parties. The house was close enough to school, stores, and the local bars he could easily walk anywhere he wanted to go. But, the number one reason Mads loved his house was his neighbors. Or, really, one neighbor in particular--Erica.
Erica was a little older than Mads. She was a second-year doctorial student in the political science department at his school. In that role, she had served as a graduate teaching assistant in a number of Mads classes. Her job included grading assignments, running discussion groups, and providing tutoring and mentorship for undergraduates taking the classes she was assisting in. Mads had been lucky enough to end up in not one, not two, but three discussion groups ran by Erica over the last year and had developed more than a little crush on the beautiful woman.
In Mads' eyes, Erica was the perfect woman. She was mature, intelligent, and worldly in a way he had never experienced. Beyond that, she was gorgeous. At barely five feet tall, Erica had a small frame. However, that frame was accentuated with curves in all of the right places. Everytime Mads saw the slightly older grad student, he couldn't help but sneak a peak at her beautiful breasts or tight, perky ass.
The fact that Erica lived just two doors down from Mads made his crush all the worse. He didn't just get to see his dream woman done up professionally, commanding a room full of undergrads as she schooled them on modern political theory, but he'd often see her in work out gear, out on her daily run, in a vintage band tee and jeans on the way to the store, or even with her hair a mess in her short pajama shorts and an oversized T-shirt as she rushed to get her trash can out before the garbage truck arrived.
But, by far, Mads just for his neighbor and occasional tutor and mentor, peaked on nights like this one. No one would ever accuse Mads of putting too much effort into his appearance when he would trek out to the bars with his friends, looking for a good time and, hopefully, some physical companionship for the night. If the weather was warm, he'd throw on a nice T-shirt or polo, a pair of shorts, and his dressiest flip-flops. If it was cold, he'd replace the shorts with jeans, flip-flops with sneakers, and throw on a jacket.
The same could not be said for Erica. When she went out on the town, she put in WORK, and Mads was all too willing to appreciate the fruits of her labor. Some nights, she would go punk rock, wearing a black tube too with some obscure band's logo across her chest paired with a black leather mini-skirt, studded belt, pink fishnets, and black combat boots. Other nights, she be dressed like a demurrer young woman rushing a respectable sorority. Her hair would be delicately pulled back with a head band while she wore a pink gingham, strapless sundress and cute white sandals. On still other evenings, Erica would be the sexiest hipster Mads has ever seen, her hair hidden beneath a beanie, chunky framed glasses on her face, with a red plaid, button down shirt, tied in a knot between her breasts to show off her cleavage and tight midriff.
Erica's ability to change from style to style, remaining sexy in each, made Erica seem like a real life doll. Someone you could dress up in anything, and it would just seem right.
For Mads, any evening he went out and got a glimpse of his sexy neighbor was a highlight of his week, but tonight was special. As Mad waited for his roommates to join him on the sidewalk outside of his house, Erica walked directly up to him with her friend Sarah, who Mads knew from a few of his study groups in tow.
"Hey Mads! How're you doing tonight? Going out?" the short grad student asked as she walked up to her neighbor, flirtatiously placing a hand on his arm.
"Uh… um… uh… Yeah. I'm going out with my friends," Mads stammered out, suddenly finding his tongue tied. He was trying not to obviously ogle his college instructor, but he couldn't help himself. He had never seen her in this outfit before. She was in a low cut red dress that both barely covered her breasts and accentuated her cleavage. The dresses skirt was cut so short that her panties--or lack thereof--would be obvious at the slightest bend. The dress hugged Erica's curves, perfectly showing off her tight, round ass, shaped from years of careful attention to her fitness. The whole look was tied together with the bright red lipstick covering the grad student's lips, matching the shade of her dress exactly.
Erica giggled and stepped closer to Mads as he stammered his answer, positioning herself so her tall, one-time student would have to look down her dress as he talked to her. She rubbed his bicep gently as she talked.
"Oh yeah? Where are you going? We're heading out to, maybe we'll see you around?" She said, sex seemingly dripping off of every word she spoke. Mads rubbed the corner of his mouth, making sure he wasn't literally drooling over this woman.
"We're just, uh, going out, uh, places? We haven't really picked yet. Maybe we will see you!" Mads replied, his tongue still seemingly knotted up in his mouth.
Erica's friend Sarah rolled her eyes at both her friend's shameless flirting and Mads failure to form an intelligible sentence in response. "Come on, Erica, let's go! I want to get a few drinks in before we start dancing," Sarah said, impatiently grabbing Erica's arm. Sarah then turned to Mads, "Mads, if you want to see us, come to Revi's. We're planning on hitting their dance floor hard tonight."
Mads looked up at Sarah and away from Erica, and it was as if a spell was broken. He shook his head and, suddenly, he was able to remember words again. "Thanks for letting me know, Sarah! Maybe we'll see you there!" Mads responded.
Mads' clarity of thought didn't last long. Erica, her body within inches of Mads', moved her hand from his bicep and lightly grabbed his hip. Like a tsunami, all of the blood rushed out of Mads' brain, directly into his dick.
"We better," Erica said demandingly. She then turned and walked away, gently swaying her ass, clearly showing off for the undergrad.
Mads watched like a statue as the two women walked away, still stunned by Erica's beauty and forwardness. He eventually looked away when Brad and Steve, his companions for the evening, came out of their house. Brad walked up to Mads and slapped him on the shoulder. Gesturing towards Erica and Sarah, he said, approvingly, "Now, that's a woman." Mads nodded his head in agreement.
The next few hours passed quickly. Mads and his friends found themselves hopping from bar to bar, like the did most Friday nights. Nothing of note happened until, finally, they made their way to Revi's.
The combination of time, alcohol, and food conversation had effectively wiped Mads memory of his run-in with his crush earlier in the night. It all came rushing back to him when he walked into Revi's and saw Erica on the dance floor. The beautiful woman was on the dance floor, grinding her ass in time to the music on her taller friend Sarah. Her skin glistened with sweat as she moved her body suggestively one-time to the music. Mads immediately felt himself fill with lust for the diminutive woman again.
Steve slapped Mads back and put his mouth up to his friend's ear so he could be heard over the music. "Dude, you're staring. Let's go get a drink, reset, and, maybe, you can be less creepy and just ask her for a dance."
Mads let himself be dragged away to the bar by his friend, knowing that he would never have the confidence to actually talk to Erica tonight.
Erica, for her part, noticed Mads. She spent the night, much to Sarah's chagrin, carefully positioning herself in Mads' line of sight, doing everything in her power to try and get the young, handsome man to engage with her. Unfortunately for her, Mads just wasn't that courageous. Mads never made his move.
As the night came to an end, Mads found himself sitting at a table alone, chastising himself for not making his move with Erica earlier in the night. As he nursed his drink, Erica's friend Sarah sat down at the table with him.
"Hey Mads," she said friendily.
"Hey Sarah, are you and Erica having a good night?" Mads answered, a little bit of disappointment seeping into his tone.
Sarah couldn't help but roll her eyes at Mads' self-defeating behavior, but she continued to chug along. "So, I've heard from some professors that you occasionally work as a babysitter for them?" She asked.
Mads perked up. He did babysit semi-regularly to make some easy cash.
"Yeah, I do from time to time, why?" He asked.
"Well," Sarah said, taking a long sip of her drink, "It turns out Erica needs a babysitter tomorrow night. She's in the bathroom now, but I told you I'd give you her number in case you were interested."
It struck Mads as odd that Erica would need a babysitter. He had lived two doors down from her for almost a year now and had never seen a kid there before. However, there were a number of explanations for why she might need a babysitter, and he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
"Sure, I'd love to take the job. Just give me the number," Mads responded.
Sarah let out a big sigh of relief. "Good," she said.
Sarah expertly put Erica's number in Mads' phone and the night quickly wound down from there. Mads went home and went to bed. His dreams were filled images of red dresses and lips.

Can you just do some general hcs/story of karma as a bf?:)
Very insecure but hides it well
Praises you but in a teasing way
Loves physical affection but mostly in private unless it embarrasses you
Play fights get a little intense, doesn’t stop unless asked
Water on top of door prank a lot bc he loves seeing you drenched like a wet puppy
Doesn’t get jealous often but when he does he actually cries (in private to himself)
Walks away when he gets flustered
Kisses your cheek
Pets your head
Kisses can be sweet and loving but very quickly turn needy and passionate
Loves cuddling
Only big spoon for 1+ years into the relationship
V proud of all of your accomplishments Expects the same when he gets a good grade or anything of the sort
Calms down a bit so you can keep up, but you have to be able to keep up anyway if you want to be with him
Will make you say you love him everyday to be sure you actually do
Parades you around when he can (when his life is stable enough to)
So very touch starved
Has a strict schedule but makes time to see and spend time with you (expects you to do the same)
Would kill,die and live for you
He’d confess first but only after a while of knowing you, maybe after dating but not saying your dating
Doesn’t like others knowing the extent of your relationship, (at least the first 1-3 years, someone could use it against either of you)
Tries his best to be super romantic (and succeeds)
Great at comforting, he researched the best way to do it based off your personality
Truth is v important but if something doesn’t come up in conversation he lets you keep it to yourself
Has a folder in notes of where he writes down all your little habits
Tons of secret pictures of you
Has a picture of you two in his wallet
Likes to be as close as possible when hugging/kissing/making out/sleeping
Will push you to do things you don’t want to if he thinks it will benefit your well-being
Takes you to charity events
Will only make love either if you two are married or have a really really stable and close relationship
Can’t bear the thought of losing you
Man’s love language is gifts bc his parents only ever gave him money/stuff to show their love (relatable) and he’s rich so he’s gonna shower you with things he knows you like, and prepare for it to be extremely expensive
Wants a lot of kids but won’t force it on you Wants to adopt but also have some of his own
Let’s you run your own life but helps where he can
Proposes in the most romantic but random way ever
He doesn’t do love at first sight, you need to put effort into love
Didn’t believe in love for a long time so needs some time to get comfortable with the idea
Helps you with anything you need even if he denies he would
Admits he likes you to his friends (only if they ask)
Would pre-record voice memos to send to you if he’s at work and you need his comfort or anything
1.
“Hey baby?” Karma strokes your hair lovingly, he wasn’t even sure if you were asleep but he felt soft and needed to make sure you heard what he wanted to say, a soft hum made him smirk, “I love you, I really do I swear, you are the love of my life.”
2.
“Sweetie! Come try this new pastry I made.” In his hands laid a strawberry flavoured French donut, as you approached you could see his eyes were illuminated by the pride he had, waiting for you to praise him for the good job Karma did.

Your bully has a soft spot for you
Tumblr media
The relationship between you and Haitani has always been a bit complicated. On the one hand, he's a bully, always teasing and making fun of you in front of friends. On the other hand, he seems to have a slight weakness for you and always secretly helps when you're in trouble. And you tried to ignore his behavior, but part of you can't help but wonder, "is there more to this?" But you didn't have much time for such questions. You were sitting in class not thinking about the guy, but thinking about not getting a grade below four, because your family was very strict about grades. Okay, physical violence, you get used to it, but it's not possible to get used to moral pressure, it will become a lifelong trauma.
"What are you thinking about, nerd? Me, perhaps?" — He teased you by taking your glasses, which made it difficult for you to see. Your thoughts weren't the brightest. I was just afraid to go home, knowing what I could get for today's top three. And at first you were a little scared when the glasses were taken away and moved forward to pick them up, frowning your gray eyes.
"Ran, please give it back..." — He grinned, handing back your glasses. Then he came up to your ear and whispered something.
"What are you worried about? I'm sure you passed the test well. You never cease to amaze. You don't have to be so hard on yourself," — he ruffled your hair and smiled.
"I only got C... my mother and father will be unhappy."
"Are your parents strict about grades?" — Haitani's expression was surprised and worried for you. He looked around to see if anyone was watching and pulled you towards him. — "Don't worry about it. I think your parents will understand that you just didn't quite understand the topic, and it's not your fault," — he patted you on the back to calm you down and smiled warmly. You looked down, flinching a little.
Ran noticed that your body was shaking and your eyes were filled with sadness when you turned away. You knew that nothing good would come of it, your parents were going to scold you for getting a grade below four. You knew that as soon as you got the results sheet. My throat was dry from stress at that moment, my hands gave up the paper and I had to put a lot of effort into not crying right in class. He put both hands on your shoulder and stared into your gray eyes.
"Hey, listen to me, okay? Don't worry about it too much," — Ran looked at you with a serious smile, showing his true feelings for you, protecting you.
"They'll hit me again..." — Ran took you by both hands, looking into your eyes.
"I promise you, I won't let that happen. I always protect the people I care about," — he ran his fingers through your coffee hair and soothed you in a gentle tone. — "I don't understand why they have to be so strict with you, I think they really overreact to the test... it's not the end of the world if you get a grade below three," — he tried to laugh off his worries, trying to comfort you.
"Do you care about me?.." — I got caught up in his words alone. Haitani was surprised by your sudden question, he felt his heart pounding in his chest. Even if you couldn't see his face, you could feel his smirk.
"Maybe I have some feelings for you," — Ran looked at you with a sly smile, then hugged you tightly to his chest. He hugged you even tighter, his strong arms wrapped around your waist. He held you close and whispered in your ear, his voice sounding hoarse as he spoke. — "I love you.." — He couldn't hold back his true feelings any longer and decided to confess his love to you. — "Will you let me see that test? Maybe I can help with the mistakes?" — He picked up your work and began to look through it carefully, and then his eyes lit up with rage. — "This sheep forgot to count your points for the second part. Don't worry, we'll figure it out now, and you'll have a beautiful D."

professor wanda turning you into her pet😵‍💫
warnings: coercion/manipulation (?), pet play, d/s dynamics, and punishments
totally stealing this to make a full fic for later (don't ask me how much later) but I have THOUGHTS
You're easily one of Wanda's favorite students. Even if you don't do well in her class, you constantly make an effort to do better. You do any extra credit you can and are always asking her for extra resources so you don't take up too much of her time. You're so sweet that Wanda can't help but take a liking to you
The first "date" you two have is her offering you extra help on a paper but she's desperately trying to learn more about you. She doesn't care how much you two have in common, Wanda just liked hearing you talk and taking notes on what you like
Eventually, Wanda's self control slips and her relationship with you becomes more inappropriate. Your conversations go from academic and professional to sexual and personal. It's not even like you just let it happen. The first time you slipped up about your sexual preferences was a complete accident and Wanda just let you keep going. Even if you're careful with your words, Wanda will just outright ask and change the subject
Wanda is very calculated about the way she claims you. She starts to touch you more as she spends more time with you. Nothing too alarming. Just long hugs and the occasional forehead kiss, but it has you absolutely spiraling. So much so that she's the first person you turn to when you need comfort.
Wanda waits for the perfect time to strike. She'll assign a project just a bit too much for your poor, overworked brain. It's nothing you can't do, but she is purposely vague in her instructions that you'll have to ask her regardless.
You're sitting at her desk so frustrated that you might burst into tears, and Wanda thinks it's absolutely adorable. When you finally reach a point where you can't understand a thing, she steps in. "Oh sweetheart, why don't you take a break? I have something that'll make you feel so much better." You're so desperate for something to make sense that you take the bait and fall right into Wanda's trap. Everything happens so fast that you don't even realize she's gotten between your legs.
You're rather avoidant of Wanda after the first time, but she fully expects it. You skip class a few times and when the next exam rolls around, you fail and have no choice but to talk to her again. Just being near her classroom makes you blush because you think about what happened, but you can't risk another bad grade
Wanda toys with you a lot more. She'll glide her heel up and down your leg, call you any pet name she can think of, and she won't stop unless you say something. You try putting your foot down and setting a boundary, but Wanda completely ignores you. "You're far too stressed to know what you want, just let mommy show you" you're official hers after that and you don't even want to change it
Wanda brings you over her house to start proper training. It's a tough job to start. She wants you to be nothing more than a mindless little puppy for her, but you're far too smart for your own good.
Wanda's excited when she finally gets the collar you. She spent so much time and money on yours and she expects you to wear it even if she's not around or you're in public. A punishment is in store if she catches you walking around without it.
She's cruel in her punishments. She'll edge you for hours until you apologize, spank your ass until it's bruised, and torture your nipples. You're such a brat and don't even realize it, but Wanda knows how to put you in your place. Even if that means taking your clothes and making you walk on all fours through her house.
Majorly into ass play. Not even just put the tail plug in. Wanda will get you off just from fingering your ass. Stretching it out is her favorite part. You're so inexperienced, all you can do is whimper and cry while she shoves increasingly bigger toys inside of your other hole. Wanda is extra careful to neglect your clit too
If she's not neglecting your clit, she's absolutely torturing the poor thing. She always has a vibrator up against it if she's not using you actively and nothing gets her going more than spanking your cunt.
Once you start behaving, she rewards you more. Her favorite reward is breeding you. Only the best of pups deserve mommy's cum and she makes sure to give you every drop. Wanda is NOT above breeding you during the day either. It doesn't matter how many classes you have left. If Wanda wants to use you, she will.

i lied btw i actually wrote a lot more than 4k words, it's just a matter of getting everything arranged coherently. have more au!
Ramshackle Recruitment AU – periphery opinions
As they are employed at a boarding school for exceptionally gifted teenage mages, the staff of Night Raven College are well-versed in dealing with mayhem. And yet, all of them are finding this year to be one of the most bizarre ones on record. Not even Sam's divination skills could've predicted an extra dorm being added to the lineup.
Let's take a look at how these gentlemen feel about the Ramshackle situation, from least to most approving.
Fandom: Twisted Wonderland
Characters: Night Raven College staff (+ Sam)
Notes: gn Yuu
Warnings: none, I think?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mozus Trein, being a very by-the-book type of guy, is entirely against Ramshackle as it currently exists. He feels it’s inappropriate for students to be transferring to a dorm before it’s been officially instated, especially when the dorm building is in such poor condition. It doesn’t help that Yuu apparently started taking on dormmates just to spite a fellow housewarden; that isn’t a decision to be made so lightly.
Beyond chastising them for their recklessness, though, Trein doesn't have any further admonishments for Yuu regarding their dorm. He's more annoyed with Crowley for allowing any of this to happen. Frankly, it was irresponsible for the headmage to place Yuu in the Ramshackle building to begin with. Surely they could have been temporarily situated in one of the actual dorms, at least until adequate long-term housing could be arranged? Sevens, setting them up in a quiet corner of the infirmary would've been better than that deathtrap!
Despite his reputation as a hardass, he'll be surprisingly lenient when grading Yuu so long as they show that they're making an effort to get caught up with their peers. He's typically even more strict with housewardens, as they're meant to represent the entirety of their dorms, but it would be irresponsible of him as a teacher to take that stance here. He'll assign additional homework as needed to discourage students from sleeping in his class, but his lessons are still for learning, not punishing. Even if it was foolish of Yuu to take on a role they weren't prepared for, his job as a professor is to teach them, not throw them in the deep end and let them drown.
There's very little that could convince Trein to visit Ramshackle dorm, at least at first. As the surrounding grounds get cleaned up, he might be inclined to spend some time reading in the garden; he normally prefers the school courtyard, but it can get pretty noisy with all the students bustling about. He won't be caught dead in the Ramshackle building itself, though. Both he and Lucius are a tad too old to go gallivanting about in such a dusty old structure.
(He won't say it, but he's impressed with how well Yuu is doing as housewarden. Like Leona, he expected the whole thing to go up in flames within a matter of weeks. Again, he's not going to say anything about it—even if things turned out well this time around, he doesn't need to be encouraging such rash behavior.)
Tumblr media
Divus Crewel agrees with Trein’s points, but refuses to fully back the other professor's argument. He might respect Crowley as his boss, but watching the headmage suffer the consequences of his own actions is too cathartic to pass up. Quite the spirited pup he's taken in, there!
Though he doesn't condemn the existence of the dorm outright, he doesn't refrain from reprimanding Yuu for their 'bad behavior'—the way he sees it, this whole thing started because of some petty drama between Yuu and Riddle. He's not blind to the social nuances of the NRC student body, but he is too old to care about the more trivial aspects of it all. Regardless, Yuu has no business playing at being a housewarden; there's good reason it's nearly unheard of for a freshman to be granted the title, and being magicless puts them at a distinct disadvantage in a mage academy.
…however. If Yuu truly is determined to be a full-fledged housewarden, then he's not about to abide by them slacking off! That's a prestigious mantle they've chosen to take up, and they will comport themselves accordingly! Good thing he's there to whip them into shape. He begins holding them to higher standards, especially in regards to their grades and conduct. Though he means well, he comes across as more officious than usual as a result. No matter how tolerant Yuu is, it doesn't exactly go over smoothly…he can grasp that Yuu themself has no magic easily enough, but it takes a while for it to sink in that they're from a world with Absolutely No Magic.
"Surely you must have learned something about residual and ambient magical energies in middle school. Understanding how to neutralize them, thus preventing them from affecting the formation of chemical bonds, is part of basic lab safet– what do you mean they don't exist?"
Like Trein, Crewel has no interest in visiting Ramshackle dorm. It would take endorsement from a junior like Vil for him to consider dropping by, and even then, he'd only do so to make a cursory inspection of the premises. In a school full of teenage boys, Pomefiore is just about the only dorm where he doesn't have to lecture anyone about proper grooming and self-maintenance; Ramshackle doesn't break the mold at all in that regard. Aside from that, he finds the dorm to be…in acceptable conditions, though there's still plenty of room for improvement. He visits very rarely, and typically forgoes wearing his coat inside, not wanting to chance getting any grime on it.
(It’s petty enough that Crewel won’t admit to it outright, but he’s a little peeved he wasn’t even consulted about designing Ramshackle’s official dorm uniform. What, was his work with the Fairy Gala outfits not good enough? Hmph. Well, he supposes the final uniform design turned out adequate…)
Tumblr media
Dire Crowley is getting heckled in the NRC staff groupchat. When he’d described Yuu as a beast-tamer, he’d had no idea they were capable of all THIS. It feels like every time he turns around, there’s been some development with Ramshackle that he’s going to need to do paperwork for. But breaking up the dorm would risk an immense amount of backlash from the students involved, and possibly even from other dorms…truly, he is the most generous headmage NRC has ever had! Hopefully the fact Ramshackle already has uniforms done up will make it easier to get the dorm properly approved and instated…
He really ought to be more cross with Yuu, all things considered. Not only have they caused him a financial headache concerning Ramshackle dorm's food budget, they were impudent enough to not even give him a heads up beforehand! Though…well, he supposes things worked out for the best regarding the debacle with Rosehearts. A healthy imagination is key to becoming a great mage, but it sounds like the Heartslabyul housewarden wasn't allowing for an environment in which imagination could thrive…but still! Just because he granted Yuu the title of prefect doesn't mean they can go about doing whatever they want. Perhaps it's time for him to revise his laissez-faire policy regarding student conflicts?…hmm, no, that feels a bit too extreme.
Despite it all, he still brags to Ambrose LXIII about Yuu, Grim, and Ramshackle once the new dorm breaches public consciousness. He was so wise for seeing their potential and allowing them to enroll, even though one is magicless and the other a monster. Look at how much they've accomplished thanks to his generosity! (He better hope Yuu and Grim don't hear him lmao)
Crowley makes a point of dropping by Ramshackle fairly consistently to check on Yuu and Grim—especially since the last time he went a while without checking in on them, they started a dorm without telling him. He gets frustratingly good at evading being dragged into the dorm's daily Shenanigans™ despite how often he visits, but he'll often lose track of time if someone strikes up a conversation with him. It's a running joke amongst Ramshackle students to ask Crowley if he's found a way to send Yuu home whenever they spot him at the dorm…though, after a point, most of them don't want to hear a "yes" in response.
(It's not becoming of him, so he won't say anything about it, but Crowley can't say for certain that he doesn't regret letting Yuu and Grim enroll. Yes, yes, it's wonderful how much they've achieved, but did they really have to give him so much extra work in the process?? Just thinking about how to word the inevitable press announcement explaining the formation of Ramshackle dorm gives him a headache.)
Tumblr media
Ashton Vargas, by some miracle, is the most Actually Helpful of the teachers. He thinks it���s fantastic that students are taking the initiative to challenge themselves! AND they’re learning teamwork while they’re at it! Just…Trein’s not wrong about Ramshackle being in rough shape. Living there is barely different from camping outdoors. ("Does he get the idea for Camp Vargas from–" haha yeah)
Vargas will regularly check in with Yuu about any concerns regarding the dorm building’s structural integrity. He’s no architect, but he knows how to safely handle power tools! He can take care of any heavy lifting that needs to be done, too! If it gives him a chance to show off and brag, he’s all for it. He canonically maintains the sports field by himself, so he probably has some good advice for cleaning up the grounds around Ramshackle as well. That doesn't mean he's going to do all the work himself, of course—anyone he catches lazing about the dorm gets dragged along with him. It's good strength training!
He also makes sure the dorm has basic safety equipment on-hand, like fire extinguishers and first aid kits. Even a pro like him has to be mindful of training accidents, after all! He's always proud to see students pushing their limits, but he's watched far too many people torch their athletic careers (and long-term physical health) by pushing themselves too hard. It's uncommon for him to give full-on lectures—he's just not the type to drag things out when a "quit doing that" will do—but anyone he catches trying to brush off a significant injury gets treated to a rare, ultra-serious lecture from him.
Due to being so involved in the dorm's restoration, Vargas is the most likely to visit Ramshackle out of NRC's staff. He'll often tag along if he happens to catch Crowley heading over to check on Yuu and Grim, though he's yet to successfully rope the headmage into doing any strength training. Being a bit childish at heart, he'll sometimes lend a hand to whatever tomfoolery the Ramshackle students get up to…so long as it's school-appropriate, that is! He doesn't need another lecture from Trein.
(Vargas won't own up to it, but he wants Yuu, Grim, and the rest of Ramshackle to view him as better than Sam, who is pretty much his sole competition for the title of "Most Helpful." He was already a tad jealous of the shopkeeper's wide skillset, so his competitive streak has him putting in a little more effort to help out around the dorm than he would've otherwise. Since this pseudo-rivalry exists solely inside Vargas' head, Sam has no clue about any of it.)
Tumblr media
Sam is living it up. His Friends on the Other Side haven’t been this excited about school-related events since he’d first set up shop on campus. And, since he’s the #1 supplier of Anything And Everything at NRC, he’s been getting a lot of business as the Ramshackle students work to patch up their dorm building! He’s not about to start giving away things for free, but he IS willing to cut some deals on tools and construction materials.
Honestly, he's a little annoyed with how little money Crowley seems to be investing into repairing the dorm building. Cheaping out on infrastructure is a fast way to create a money sink. He's not one to rock the boat too much, but he'll poke and prod to see if he can get Crowley to put a little more cash into restoration efforts. Surely it wouldn't hurt to speed the process up a bit? No point in letting the imps languish. Nevermind the fact it's all profit for Sam either way–
Capitalism aside, he does grow to care about the industrious little imps after a while. Taking a gamble on a complete unknown by transferring to Ramshackle, helping out others for the sake of pursuing their own goals…his Friends are quick to joke that Sam would've jumped to join in on the fun had he been a student, and he can't really say he disagrees! Hearing about all the hijinks going on over at Ramshackle is welcome entertainment, especially when business at the shop is slow.
Sam is typically too busy running the school store to visit Ramshackle himself, but he might make an exception for a dire enough situation. As it stands, he gets his Friends to keep a specific eye or three on the dorm in case any emergencies crop up. If he just so happens to have just the right tool for the job front & center (and on sale for a deep discount) when Yuu rushes in…well, that’s simply Mr. S’ gold-quality customer service in action.
(Sam keeps it on the down-low, but he genuinely does worry about Yuu and Grim. The headmage is a good customer, but he's not someone Sam would want to be financially dependent on. Those two imps at least have the relative safety of attending NRC, but neither of them have much in the way of a support system. He'd certainly been in a bad spot himself when he'd first sought out Those on the Other Side, so he's glad Yuu and Grim seem to be building decent lives for themselves without having to make any Friends of their own.)
✧ ✧ ✧
A/N: might as well be trying to squeeze blood from a stone the way I'm trying to approximate staff personalities from what little content we get of them,,,, for Sam I'm just doing whatever I want tho lmao

NCT127: When you're a bad student
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
❁ [Taeil] is fighting the urge to be a helicopter boyfriend. Taeil has a healthy respect for your routine but can't hide his face when you said the lengthy assignment is due in 2 days and you've barely started. Taeil is the kind to buy you little sweet treats to encourage you to continue writing, or send you little texts here and there to let you know ~you can do it~. Will sit with you and do something quiet while you work because he knows you'll only leave your workspace and try to find him to distract yourself otherwise. Always thinks you look so cute in your mismatched slouchy outfits for class because you hate making the effort. Plants a little kiss on top of your head every time he walks by you working. When the assignment is submitted he will buy you your favourite food as a job well done, plenty of cuddles as he breathes out a sigh of relief on your behalf.
❁ [Johnny] Loves to joke about you being a lazy student, and is always amused watching you belly-ache over assignments you clearly do not want to do. Will give you the side eye when you whip out your phone to text or doom scroll and likes to take you out somewhere near by to work for a change of scenery. Despite loving to hear you laugh, he knows he's more distracting than he is helping so will exile himself on a mission for coffee while you work in the library. ~"It's for your own good!"~ he'll laugh. After giving you a chance to get in the zone, he'll return with your favourite coffee and read your work proudly over your shoulder. Johnny is the type to give you his hoodie so you can be comforted by some form of his presence and promises with a cheeky wink you can have the ~"real deal"~ after you've submitted your work.
❁ [Taeyong] Is the type to actually show sympathy and will let you bitch about classes, tutors, assignments and the people in your class to your hearts content. Will remind you to breathe with an amused glint his eye when you're done. Will try his very best to help with assignments; google some things here and there or find eloquent ways to make the word count longer. Very good at catering to your needs, will stay as a comforting presence or make himself scarce depending on what's more helpful for you. Wordlessly takes your glasses from your face, cleans the lenses and then places them back on gently because the smudges were bothering him. rubs your back comfortingly when you whine about how you wish you had started the work earlier. organises your notes and lets you have a little cry when it all gets a bit too stressful.
❁ [Yuta] Wants you to succeed in everything you do, but at the same time kind of loves this aesthetic on you. Finds your approach refreshing and likes how you don't pin all your worth on how well you do in classes. Is obsessed with your usual class look, the glasses and messy hairstyles with oversized shirts and sweats- you lowkey feel your worst and yet Yuta is stealing kisses and checking you out like no other. Likes walking you to your classes or meeting you after them, you'll always find him leaning back on the wall casually scrolling his phone and catch his smirk when he looks up and meets your eye. Kind of stays out of your business when it comes down to your work ethic and leaves you to it, but will always be there to comfort you if you were upset by a grade. Will hurriedly pack your bag for you and jog you to class if you're late.
❁ [Doyoung] Respects the way you like to do your work, but will be the first to say ~"I told you so"~ when time has slipped away from you too much. His tactic always includes giving you lots and lots of kisses while gently plying your phone out of your hand and putting it on do not disturb when you're a tad distracted. Gets very humoured when you do a ton of work without even clocking his antics and you make a big song about ~"Getting in the zone"~. Will point blank refuse to come over because he wants you to finish your assignment, but can't hide the smile when he opens his door to you with your backpack and books in hand and chastises you for exploiting loopholes. Is the type to help you with the assignment, but you might have to beg a little before he'll pull out his phone and do some googling. Flicks you on the forehead for leaving it until the last minute- again.
❁ [Jaehyun] Takes a lot of genuine interest in the subject you study, to a point where he enjoys it more than you do. Jaehyun kind of wishes he could partake in the student experience of finding nice places to study, going to socials and parties and fucking around in the library but he rarely sees you doing any of that either. ~"Shouldn't you be working on that thing?"~ he'll question you in good humour while you're lounging on your bed not doing the thing he mentioned. Laughs audibly when he sees your face drop and an ~"Oh shit, yeah"~ fall hurriedly from your lips. Loves telling his friends that you're a student and sharing your major, he thinks you're so smart even if you don't have that much faith in yourself. Will never say no to a college party, actually really enjoys hanging with your friends and sharing drinks from red solo cups with you even though you both know you should be studying.
❁ [Jungwoo] A bit of a clueless boyfriend really, he couldn't tell someone precisely what you're studying and never really quite recognises the urgency of an assignment due in 48 hours. Needs you to tell him how he can help you, but whatever you say he will do to the very best of his efforts. Loves checking you out in your uni varsity jacket and hoodie and laughs childishly when you tell him you got 69% on a test before giving you a boisterous high-five. Finds the bare minimum impressive, if you tell him something insignificant about your assignment he acts like you just blew his mind. Finds a kind of masochistic joy in watching you rush around for your class stuff when he reminded very nonchalantly of the time. Steals your glasses to wear and ruffles your hair when he walks by you with your head in your hands.
❁ [Mark] The most considerate, as always. Sticks out the all-nighters with you out of solidarity, and smiles at you encouragingly with his head resting on the table watching you work. Curates nice study playlists for you. Will talk about all the nice things you'll do once the assignment is over to try and encourage you to stick at it. Splashes out on delivery food and delivers it on a plate with a kiss on the cheek. Scared you to death when you said you'd be studying in the library and he caught you red-handed taking a nap. Likes to steal your varsity jacket but thinks you suit it more. Once spent ten minutes negotiating with you with a wet-wipe when he saw test answers scrawled on the inside of your arm and celebrated with you when you passed with the bare minimum because you did it honestly.
❁ [Haechan] The worst influence but with the promise of a good time. Both of you dying of laughter comparing your god-awful test scores while making a pact to try a bit harder next time. Invites you over with the sincere offer of a study date but procrastination gets the best of both of you with the help of his PS5. Wears matching sweat co-ords with you. Always sitting at the back of the lecture hall to not draw attention to your laughter and talking. Your notebook is full of his doodles and silly notes, as his is full of yours respectively. You guys are the favourite couple to invite to parties because good times and funny memories just follow you around. Genuinely contemplating cheating until you agreed to snap out of it. Instead, you spent three hours to develop a code so you could communicate during tests only for you to completely forget it when the time came. You only started to see true improvement in your grades when you put a healthy wager on who can get the best score by the end of term.

༺ ♰ ༻
Washington DC
A particular apartment block
21:00PM
2009
You arrived home to a small, tactical grade duffle bag sitting on your doormat. You half-expected them to provide you with nothing more than necessary, but seeing as STRATCOM was no BSAA, their gear had been rather sophisticated to say the least. They had given you 400 hours to gather any intel from a country in Eastern Europe, which meant you had a little over two weeks stuck with Leon in some dusty safe-house apartment with minimal contact with anyone else (not like you had anyone worth reaching out to outside of work anyway). 400 hours- thats only if things went smoothly, in which, they never do. You’d be there for a month at the minimum guarantee and you were meant to escort a contact to a private exchange of resources they managed to snatch off the black market. If the deal went smoothly then at least the government can put their pretentious, expensive lab research to use with their hands on a sample of some B.O.W strains.
You managed to drag yourself into your apartment, keys thrown onto the kitchen counter as your first thought was to pour yourself a drink and burn a cigarette. You weren’t a drinker- correction, you weren’t an alcoholic, nor were you a smoker. It’s just that there was no one here to monitor you and you easily and cowardly blamed it on your job, but instead you just seemed to have revolved around whatever harmless substance was at your disposal for the time being- amongst other things. You’d always kind of lived your domestic life on autopilot, barely putting in a second thought to whether you actually needed to change the way you lived, whether you needed other things in your existence- or someone else, but who were you kidding, a pet maybe?. You were never the type to give someone a call back either- to be fair you never really stayed, hence why a drink and a smoke followed by a warm shower was all you really desired. You slumped yourself down on the chair at your dining table, not bothered turning any overhead lights on in return, just letting the gracious moonlight escape into the room. Your fingers traced the yellow folder you’d brought home from work today, the other hand going numb from the cold condensation of a beer bottle. You sat there for a good two hours, an unwise decision seeing as you still wanted to waste away in the shower and needed to be organised for departure tomorrow. Not to say, sleep wasn’t ever on your side either.
Under the sting of your hot shower, you couldn’t help but think of how exactly you ended up here. Eight long years of anti-bioterrorist service just for Redfield to temporarily ‘discharge’ you from the BSAA for your little let down back in South America (to be fair, no one had ever decided you were discharged, but the leave and subsequent transfer had been the equivalent of that in your eyes). Was he even going to let you back in on the field with him? You weren’t about to become an office personnel in your line of work after this mission, to be honest you thought it would be the hands-on equivalent of death- to spend years in training in both the military and special operations only to end up in the chain of responsive command for an XO you didn’t quite get along with. Not to mention- having to filter through everyone’s field reports and paperwork after Redfield just hypothetically offed the industrial section of a city. Nonetheless, you were at least grateful to still be working field for the time being, it may not be alongside Chris Redfield and the BSAA, but it was still something of the equivalent. You were enjoying what might be the last comfortable shower for the next month or so (something small to deal with considering the various lengthy deployments you’d been on previously), taking time to let the sprays of water loosen your muscles. If you were completely honest, you would enjoy a permanently domestic, normal civilian life either. Something simple as a long, warm shower would become tedious once it becomes frequented and unthreatened as civilians are. Maybe the loss in commodity value was an excuse for you to work this job until death. Or maybe death came closer, and maybe you’d already accepted that.
Your mind skipped to Leon, or rather what he was doing, then to what he’d think of you once he knew you too well (or if he ever will). After all, two weeks is a long time to be stuck with someone on your tail, in the same safe house flat, going over the same shit and waiting for something life threatening to occur. You’d feared that when you’d first gravitated towards the BSAA, scared that you were going to let someone in (arguably, you’d always defended Chris as your bond came from the sentimental value of your jobs) and that they were going to come to the inevitable realisation that you were both fucked and would soon wound up dead on the field somewhere. That was definitely something harder for others to compute, as you’d accepted your death ages ago and were only ever waiting for people the catch up, hence why you’d think Leon would actually hate you.
South America
BSAA outstation
14:00PM
December 2008
‘Fuck! Goddamn it!’ Chris throws his fist into the crumbly stone pillar to his right. ‘We are sending in backup immediately-‘
‘Redfield that is not of your command, we’re not taking that risk-‘ petty, for anyone to want to argue with Chris Redfield. He’s always been full charged if not spewing out electricity by the second in the heat of the moment, head and heart. There was no negotiation. He knew first hand how shitty it was to go into a mission without support, albeit you did have ‘support’, yes- but it was a matter of if the goddamn CO would agree.
‘I’m not asking. That is one of our best agents tied up in there and you’re not gonna find another.’ To anyone else that tone alone would have them pissing their pants running under Redfield’s control, maybe this was why everyone was always cleaning up after him.
‘I’m going in.’ He mumbled, a stern one, signalling to his team to pack it forwards beyond their assigned parameters.
‘Patch me through.’ The next thing you know, your name is repeated frantically over the comms. Redfield’s voice is stern, searching, worrisome, but stern in his best I-am-your-captain commandment way. As his voice became more desperate you managed to free a hand for the radio.
‘Chris you better turn the fuck around.’ You groaned through your teeth, dropping down to your knees behind a collapsed brick wall. There was currently a wave of bioterrorist minions on your six and a massive B.O.W making its way through the maze of collapses infrastructure ready to pull you head off your neck the moment you’re seen in the line of fire. They had dogs two, all three parties together would be more than the current BSAA deployment had issued in the area and the next few surrounding countries. It amazes you how much terrorism groups can out number the fucking military, how many people are willing to sign themselves up to suicide compared to those who enlist in the army. They’re probably not cowards like the rest of the world that’s for sure.
‘I can get you my final intel order but if you fucking surpass that parameter-‘
‘I am not leaving you out there.’
‘I’m dead! I’m fucking dead Chris!’
The line goes silent, you can hear him thinking over the static of the radio. He had no purpose in sending rescue, you were a valuable asset, but the job was finished and there was enough evidence for the FBC to deploy troops to other locations and carry out necessary protocols to prevent whole countries from collapsing. The South American sun was starting to get its way with you, there was dust thickening through the air and you could hear firing in the near distance, which was enough for you to pull yourself up from you current location. Shots fired, straight your way and heard through the radio. You were scrambling for shelter around this abandonment of a city block, you shad two magazines left which you knew wouldn’t last for nearly enough time before an evac squad gets here.
Washington DC
Joint Base Andrews
12:30PM
2009
The pilot had just announced takeoff over the PA system. You watched the runway shrink into small grey veins over patchy land as the plane gained altitude. You could also see Leon’s impulsive leg tapping in your peripheral vision, his eyes settled in examining your body language as you pretended not to notice. His arms were crossed, disinterested by anything outside or in the cabin as his mind was purely focused on figuring you out. Out of annoyance, you turn your head, dropping your hand which was once propping your chin up, onto the armrest by the window.
‘What?’ You blinked at Leon.
‘Nothing, you look tired.’ He simply shrugs. Well that’s little to say for someone who’s been peeling your complexion apart for the past five minutes. You don’t respond, dropping your gaze to his bouncing leg, which stops upon your eyes settling on it. Your hand was now wrapped tightly around the bulge of the armrest, fingers slowly digging into the fabric and picking at the seams. Something about Leon’s all-too-understanding way of looking at you just didn’t sit right. He wasn’t one to remind you of your troubles but in every way, he did, and you can’t blame him for that. A faint rustling sound traveled towards you as he shifted in his seat, now more relaxed as his head hung back towards the headrest, still arms crossed and looking at you softly. Oh how you wished a little turbulence would break up this awkward exchange, you couldn’t argue that there was anything interesting other than fogs of cloud infecting your view.
Three hours into the flight and it was approaching night across the time zones. You’d irresponsibly gone through two glasses of rum and coke to ease your nerves, to which earned you a scoff and hum of amusement from Leon. Thought he was insistent on getting more than three words out of you, there was nothing he could do about your isolated bitterness and he figured that you’d melt along with time. You watched as the sky had lost its sunset, turning into an inevitable, cartoonish night.
‘Get some sleep will you?’
No answer, you pouted and went back to staring out the window. The emptiness plagued the entire sky and all that could be seen was the annoying red eye on the wing of the plane. Leon pushed his following words back into his throat, and left it at that for the rest of the evening before your subsequent arrival. You watched as he quietly dozed off for the next two hours, leaving you with a sense of peripheral comfort.
AN: this chapter is a little slow i know, it’s getting there. I’m also trying to keep my formatting consistent but I’m not sure how well that’s working atm 😂

Teacher!Eren x Student!reader (Reader is 19! Eren is 23!)
Tumblr media
“FUH-fuck-“ his big, veiny hand covered your plump lips, as he put his other hand up to his face brushing his index finger against his lips signaling to tone it down. How did you get into this situation? It all went downhill so quick, all in a matter of minutes. How did you go from venting to your history teacher, to fucking your teacher?? As much as you tell yourself it was an accident. You know you had different intentions. How could you resist the strong cologne on his neck wetting your lower area? or his kind words? and the way he put his arms around your waist?
15 mins earlier
“The camps were surrounded by barbed-wire fences patrolled b-“
*knock knock*
Students turned there heads towards the noise, your face was visible through the thin window on the door. “Someone be so kind and open the door for miss y/n.” Mr. Jeager sighed. 𝑳𝒂𝒕𝒆 ���𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏. A blond headed boy stood up opening the door for you. You walked in, full of emberassment as you layed eyes on mr jeager, his face full of disappointment. You’d been coming to class late almost every day. What was the point of even coming this time there was only 15 minutes of class left? You sat down on your seat looking around at everyone, they looked back. The boys in the back whispered giving you side eyes and smirks. You’d recently been dumped. Yup. Your boyfriend cheated on you with a cheerleader and still had the balls to dump you, that’s right you didn’t dump him he dumped YOU. All his little friends were in the back talking about you watching your every move to report to him. How embarrassing. Of course after the break up the girl gets all the criticism, and hate, rumors spread like ants when you leave spilled orange juice on the floor. You’d been skipping school for days, in hopes to let the depression slowly start to dread off, it was finally gone but the longing for someone was still there. Not for 𝒋𝒆𝒂𝒏, just for someone to be there. You hated being alone. It was- “y/n?” You flinched, looking down at a veiny hand on your desk slowly looking up you stared into mr jeagers concerned eyes . He didn’t know what to do anymore. He’d given you an A even for the time you didn’t spend on class, he’d talked to you multiple times, you’d never really open up about the situation. He’d even called your mother. Yet none of his efforts helped. Let’s be honest he’d never do this for any other student, sure he cared for all his students but you. You had a 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 place in his heart. In all honesty you were a teachers pet. Not the type to remind the teacher there was homework, or the one who never gets in trouble, not the one who tried to act older and take over when the teacher wasn’t there. Just the type to help teachers clean up a mess, or send over papers from other classes. The type to give the teachers little gifts on their birthdays. Mr. Jeager would never forget the first time he met you. He was freshly 23, he’d never been a teacher and the job actually scared the shit out of him. He was teaching seniors after all they have very strong opinions of people, and their little remarks can be heart-wrenching. The guys weren’t giving him a break, always roasting him, and the girls never payed attention in class, all on there phones. They thought because he had zero expirience they could easily do what they wanted. But you. You always listened. Always glued to the screen as he explained the project. You would stay after class and help him grade paper work. You gave him tips on how to get on certain students good side, or how to get there attention. You would bring in small gifts for him and tried to lift his mood up when he’d feel dumb for trying to make the class fun. He always thought you were so much more mature then them, after all you were older, you failed a year. He liked how much you tried in school never giving up even after failing a grade. Slowly his feelings for you grew. He tried gaslighting himself into thinking he only liked you as a favorite student, but it was more then that. *ding ding* your eyes stayed glued to Mr. Jeager, you could hear chairs moving and feet rushing towards the door. School was finally over. “Miss would you mind staying for a while? I’d like to talk.” you hummed a quiet yes at his question. Jeager started walking back to his desk, opening a closet and storing his jacket in it. “Tell me y/n what’s your favorite season?” You looked at his back wondering in confusion what this was leading too. “I guess I’d have to say f/s” you replied
“Interesting, mines spring, I’m so glad it’s finally here. It’s perfect for going out instead of staying 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 all the time isn’t it?” You replied yes quietly yet again. “So then tell me why such an excellent and outgoing student like you has been no where to be spotted for so long?” The man turned around giving you a serious look. He walked towards you looking down at your sitting figure. You stood up as well moving away from the seat. “Sir I don’t want to speak on it.” You said ready to leave. “Well I guess we’ll have to get the principal and your parents into a meeting, I’m sorry y/n but you’ve missed to many days.” You looked up at him terrified. “ sir! Please don’t.” You put your hand on his chest gripping his white tied up shirt. A suprised look came upon his face. “So tell me.” He demanded. Hesitantly you looked down. “It’s just..I broke up with my boyfriend. It’s been rough, he cheated a-and I just don’t want to be in school. I don’t want to have to see his face ever again.” You choked, your voice filled with sadness and a tint of anger. A quiet gasp erupted from your lips as you felt mr jeagers arms around your waist. you ungripped his shirt putting your hands around his neck. Hugging him back. “I see.” Eren hated seeing you heart broken over some stupid guy. After a few moments of silence he pulled away, yet you still didn’t let go, the only moment you let go of him was when you moved your arms away from around his neck and put them around his waist. Nuzzling your face on his chest. Jeager put his hand on your head, petting your hair. “Boys just don’t know how treat beautiful girls like you, they have no charm anymore.” A small chuckle left erens lips. You hummed in confusion as you stopped whimpering and crying. Slowly you looked up at him. “Let me show you how a 𝒎𝒂𝒏 does it, yea?” He gazed at you. You hummed yes, the second he said that. Almost like muscle memory. He backed you up till your leg hit the desk behind you. He pushed you down softly till you were sat on the table. He came in closer, and closer till your lips connected. Your cheeks felt warm. Who knew how red you were. The small peck in the lips quickly turned into a make out session, you put your hand behind his neck, softly toying with his hair, with the other hand you slowly went down on yourself. Putting friction against your finger and panties. 𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚. You moved your hips back and forth to feel something, yet it wasn’t as good as jeagers lips crashed agaisnt yours. He looked down to see your hands on yourself, an attempt to please yourself. He chuckled separating his lips from yours. His hand grabbed your wrist. Holding a tight grip onto it You looked into his eyes in confusion. “Such a shame you don’t even know how to please yourself, are you that pure?” He smirked giving you a peck in the forhead before placing his hand under your skirt. Effortlessly he managed to take off your panties off as you were sitting. “So pretty.” He held up your f/c panties with kittens on them. You blushed, how emberassing. “No need to be emberassed, I didn’t expect lingerie.” A moan escaped from your lips. Fuck he was so sexy. Your legs opened. You grabbed his hand placing it back under your skirt. “Quiet with words, but loud with actions.” Eren smirked at your shyness, he found it adorable. You gasped loudly feeling his fingers rub agaisnt your clit. 𝑭𝒖𝒄𝒌! He rubbed and rubbed, going faster the louder the moans got. You tried to suppress the moans but it was so hard. Your whimpers came to a stop when he pulled his fingers away from your wet clit. You groaned in desperation, a small chuckle escaped erens lips. “Shh baby, I’ll show you an even better pleasure. This is nothing compared to what’s next.” There was more? You were 19, yet you barely had any expirience. The boys in school had no expirence. Jean didn’t even know how to finger you. And you, you didn’t even try. The guys in college all drank and did drugs.
You were scared to get some kind of disease. The guys in highschool were to unexpirenced, and the ones in college were to unhygienic. But then there’s eren. He was perfect. He had expirence, he knew how to talk, he knew the perfect moves to make. You watched him quickly unbuckle his belt, he didn’t even pull his pants all the way down. The truth is eren wanted this for a long, long time. He’d see you come to school in your mini skirts, tank tops. Shorts. It excited him seeing your perfect figure. Even the imperfections you saw in yourself seemed gorgeous in his eyes. No boy could handle such a goddess, he thought. Jeagers black boxers were tight. You could see the huge bump on them. You knew it was big. He finally pulled them down. Fuck. It was huge. You were excited yet scared. You compared to him was like a bunny and a fox. He was much bigger. And You were fragile. He knew that. He didn’t want to break you. So he took his time. “Mr. Je-“ “call me eren.” he put his hand on your cheek caressing it. “Eren.” You whispered
He moaned loudly. He’d been wanting to hear your pretty mouth say his name. He never imagined it to sound so good. You opened your legs wide, giving him a signal to continue. “Ready?” Eren licked his lips. You just whined in impatience. He rubbed his cock against your folds slowly, finally inserting himself inside you, catching you by suprise. A loud gasp escaped your lips. As the pain entered your body. You clinged to erens shoulders. Gripping them with your long nails, it just turned him on even more. “Fuckk- you feel s-so fucking good baby.” You just moaned at his compliments. He was so good with words, and even better with his cock. “Please eren, faster.” The pain quickly left, and your body was filled with so much pleasure. His cock crashing inside your warm walls was true glory. “Baby, you like this big cock huh? You like your teachers dick so much don’t you baby?” Eren put his forhead against yours, you looked into each other’s eyes. Those green orbs were mesmerizing. You could look into them forever. “Yes sir, fuck I love your cock so much.” You put your head up chuckling in pleasure. “Mm baby cmon, cum on my big cock baby, I know you can do it.” Eren put his hand on your cheek. You didn’t need to hear any more. You let your juices go by, covering his dick. The liquid fell down your leg, dripping from erens cock aswell. He pulled out from you, you held his cock jacking him off. his cum squirted onto your hand. After a few momment of silence, putting back on and adjusting your clothes. You felt two strong arms around your waist feeling a chest on your back. “Meet me tomorrow after school for tutoring, you have a lot to catch on.” Eren whispered into your ear. A smile formed on your lips.

The Cat, The Sun, and The Moon
Part 4
Fnaf fanfic
Sun/moon x female oc
Warnings: strong language, sexual themes, mechanical repairs, brief mentions of damage/scars, obsessive behavior, angst, mentions of past trauma and implied past murder?
Summary: Tabby starts a new job, while things at home get a bit closer.
Feedback appreciated, 18+
Tumblr media
“I’m home!” Tabby announced, pushing through the door, arms heavy with bags.
“Welcome home, Sunshine!” Sun smiled brightly, rushing to help her with the bags, “How did it go?”
She placed the bags on the counter, huffing with the effort. “I start tomorrow.” She answered, looking proud.
“So soon?” Sun’s smile faded, rays retracting.
“It’s just some shitty warehouse job.” She sighed, “I’m over qualified and had a good reference…and we need the money.”
“That’s true…”
Sun took the bag of perishables, starting to restock the fridge as she put away the snacks and canned goods.
“So you do buy healthy food!” Sun’s voice was overly amazed, pulling out a plastic bag that once held a vegetable. It was something else growing now.
“Yea…and that’s what normally happens to them.” She gestured to the new culture.
“Ew.” Sun scrunched up his face, promptly throwing it away. He brushed his hands off, huffing, “Well, you’ll start eating better soon.”
“Oh?” She raised a brow.
“Yes!” He announced proudly, “I am going to learn how to cook.”
“And how will you do that?” She asked amused, putting away the groceries.
“I am connected to the internet,” he reminded, “I can take the time to learn about anything within reason.”
She giggled, “So it’s been you that’s hogging the Wi-Fi recently?”
Sun kept the same grin, waving her off, “I wouldn’t know anything about that.”
He shuffled through the bags, curious.
“You found it!” Sun’s rays spun, holding up the tube of silicone.
“It’s fairly common.” Tabby nodded, finding a box for their new craft supplies.
Sun made a whistling sound, reading over the tube, “‘Premium grade’. Fancy!”
“Only the best for my robot.” Tabby smiled.
Sun’s optics made stars, his rays spinning. He followed her as she filled the box, asking “Can we try it out now? I’d really like to touch water again.”
“Later.” She chirped, “I’ll put on a movie for us while it cures.”
“Ooooh!” Sun bounced a bit, “Can we watch the one with the geese again? Please please!?”
“Fly Away Home?”
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Sun flapped his hands in excitement.
“Sure. I get to pick the next movie though.” She nodded, amused.
“Deal!”
Moon huffed in their shared headspace.
M: Next movie is during my time…
S: HA
“Now what are your big water plans?” She questioned, pulling him back to the present.
“Oh nothing in particular.” He lied, fiddling his fingers together and muttering, “It’s not like there are glaring issues that need cleaning in my main area of existence. Nothing like that. No sir.”
Tabby’s smile fell, hand on her hip she looked at him intently. It caused his fiddling to worsen.
“The dishes?” She asked, searching.
“What?! Those? Noooooo.” He made a sweeping motion with his hand, “I hardly even notice them.” His voice was thick with sarcasm, making her pout a bit.
A pang of guilt ran through her, realizing how far she’d let things go. She tilted her head, offering, “I’ll get caught up on the dishes. You’ve already cleaned so much and it will make you more comfortable. Okay?”
“You don’t have to do that, Starlight.” Sun’s voice was genuine now, smile faltering, “You go out and take care of us, it’s our job to take care of you when you get back.”
“We can take care of each other.” Her words echoing deep in their circuits, “Right now I can do this when you can’t, ok.”
“Okay…” he drooped more.
“You look like a wilting sunflower.” She giggled, perking him up. He put on more of a show, bending like a wet noodle and causing her to laugh fully.
She started filling the sink with hot, soapy water, finding some music on her phone. As it started to play she began cleaning. As she washed she sang, a little off key but with her whole heart in it.
Sun smiled, watching as she swayed a bit to the tune as she sang.
He searched up the lyrics in his head, moving to sing with her. Tabby faulted, hearing his voice join, blinking up at him.
Catching up, she beamed, returning with gusto.
What they lacked in rhythm they made up for with passion, singing and dancing by the sink with their whole hearts.
“AAAAAAHHH-WOOOOOOO” they howled together with the song, the sound petering off into shared laughter.
Moon went into rest mode, to save himself from the torture.
~
The afternoon ticked on, Tabby putting in the movie as Sun got comfortable on the couch. He sat with his back toward the lamp, against the arm, legs along the length. Gathering all the needed materials, Tabby scooted in to get comfortable herself. She sat with her back to his chest, legs tucked up and snuggling between his own legs; it gave the best position to repair his hands in a comfortable fashion.
She took the right first, leaning forward to inspect over it.
She held his hand in a steady hold, completely engrossed in her task. Tabby took small paintbrushes and tools normally used for clay sculpting to carefully and meticulously fill every crack on his fingers.
Movie forgotten, Sun watched her, head tilted as he studied every detail: the stray piece of hair that hung in her face, the gentleness of her hold, and the way her nose crinkled a bit when concentrating. His face mirrored his admiration, thankfully she was much too busy to notice. They’d been close before, while she worked on repairing him, especially when inside his chest cavity. But this was different, quiet and intimate in a way, just softly sitting on the couch. Eventually she even leaned back against him, raising his hand to the lamplight to look over her progress.
“You are really warm.” She looked up over the top of her head to him.
His optics were half lidded with contentment. “Kids wouldn’t like cold hands.” He pointed out.
“That’s true…” She went back to her work, “I just didn’t notice it as much before.”
“Is it bad?”
“No, no.” She soothed, adding much more softly, “It’s nice.”
Sun’s rays whirled happily.
“There!” Tabby announced, holding up his hand by the wrist for him to see. All the cracks were filled with the silicone, carefully worked in to make a smooth finish. It wasn’t perfect, and would need to be painted over in the future, but it would work.
“Don’t touch anything!” She warned as he looked it over, “It needs to cure for a few hours. Would it be uncomfortable to hold your arm up that long?”
“I can do that.” He nodded, “We can lock the joints. Thank you, Starlight. It looks perfect.”
She snorted a bit, taking his other hand, curling forward to look it over, “It doesn’t.”
“It does!” Sun protested, “You did so well.”
“You are just too nice.” She shook her head, beginning to work, “I don’t think it will ever look the same…” she realized what she’d said, quickly adding, “Im sorry!”
Sun’s smile faded. He tilted his faceplate closer to her, to murmur, “It’s alright. You don’t look the same either.” He pointed out.
Tabby glanced up at his words, looking over the scarring on her arms and legs from the fire. He was right…
“We still think you look pretty.” Sun curled a little bit over her, cuddling her softly.
“Thank you.” She smiled brightly to him, leaning into the touch, “I think you look very good too! Even more so because I can see your face move now.”
“You let us express ourselves.” He added, “Let us make little changes to feel more individual.”
Tabby stopped, “You are not the property of an entertainment chain anymore. You should be able to do with your body whatever you want.”
“It’s still very kind of you.” He hummed, “Helping us.”
“You saved my life.” She pointed out, voice heavy.
“You’ve repaid any debt to us and then some.”
“We can still help each-other out though, right?” She asked, hopeful.
“Good luck getting rid of us.” His voice was light but no hint of a joke to his words.
“So I’m stuck with you?” She giggled, smoothing silicone over his palm, “Ooooh no.”
“Stuck like glue.”
“What kind?”
“The stickiest”
~
After the movie she fell into her normal nighty routine of rotting in front of her computer with caffeine. She sipped on her soda, typing. For a while, the apartment was quiet, darkness falling a few hours prior.
She heard something fall, clattering on the floor. Tabby jumped out of her seat, running into the kitchen, rushing in her worry.
“Moon!” She yelled, “What are you doing?!”
Moon froze, precariously perched on top of the hanging cabinets above the counter. He was on his belly to fit, legs and arms at weird angles to crawl along the cabinet tops. His eyes glowed red in the dim light, wood creaking under his weight.
“Moon!” Her voice was stern, making him flinch a bit.
Another pot fell, making the loud clatter like what had alerted her in the first place.
“If you break those we are screwed!” She warned angrily, “Get down.” She crossed her arms, tapping her foot expectantly.
She was trying to intimidate him?
He flashed his teeth, making her little display falter. The cabinets groaned, lanky animatronic moving back to the floor much easier than his body should have allowed.
Tabby took a step back as he loomed over her.
“Am I a good boy?” He asked darkly, bending forward, faceplate close.
“Y-Yes.” Tabby gulped, “Thank you.”
He pulled back suddenly, straightening. His voice box hissed with laughter, sharp and piecing.
She swallowed, finding her voice again, “What’s gotten into you?”
His laughter abruptly stopped, he made a show of being insulted, dramatically placing a hand over his chest. “What’s gotten into me?!” He scoffed, pointing a finger into her chest and retorting, “What’s gotten into yoooou?”
She stood her ground, snapping, “What the hell does that mean?! I’m not the one crawling around the cabinets like an overgrown spider!”
Moon chuckled again.
“Play with Sun all day…” his voice was low, “Your favorite little toy.” He spat the last word. But under all the venom was something else…hurt?
Tabby frowned, earlier transgressions forgotten, “Moon?”
“Leave big bad Moon to himself.” He bared his teeth.
“I thought I made you uncomfortable.” She admitted.
He withdrew a bit, his grimace faltering. His optics flicked over her.
“Would you like to spend some time together?” She asked gently.
Moon was still, optics expanding a bit as he tried to calculate if the question was genuine. Finally, he gave a small nod.
Tabby gave him a soft smile, offering, “Let’s go watch a movie together. I’ll make popcorn and you can find a movie, ok?”
“O-Kay…” he rasped, watching her pad off towards the kitchen. He was frozen for another tick, seemingly confused.
Tabby heard him shuffling around the dimmed living area, waiting on the microwave. She leaned against the counter, the stove light the only illumination in the kitchen. Moon stalked in, hunched forward to look smaller.
He held out a dvd to her, faceplate downcast.
‘Nightmare Before Christmas’
Tabby giggled, commenting, “You know, you look a lot like Jack.”
Moon turned the case, looking over the front again, head spinning in a complete circle soon after.
“Go set it up.” She smiled, adding as she got the popcorn out of the microwave, “I know you know how.”
His fans whirled, head tilting to the side.
“I've heard the TV going in the middle of the night.” She winked at him.
Movie ready, they both got comfortable on the couch. Moon sat curled up in the corner, legs tangled up under him, while Tabby leaned back into the far corner. A large bowl of popcorn separated them.
Thinking back to Sun and her earlier closeness, Moon glanced across the space. It felt like an ocean between them, something in his chest tightening as he looked away.
He tried to concentrate on the movie to distract his garbled thoughts.
“Moon?” Her voice came softly.
He jolted a bit, optics flicking over to her.
“I remember,” she spoke while getting a handful of popcorn, “That Chica could eat and taste….can you?”
She turned a bit to look at him.
Moon gave a single nod.
“You can! That’s so cool.” Tabby smiled, “Have you ever tried popcorn?”
He gave another nod, after a long moment he added, “Long long time ago.”
“Here.” She took a single piece from the bowl, offering it out to him, “Try it.”
Moon looked at the outstretched hand as if it were a snake, optics flicked back up to her face.
“Come on, try it.” She urged, “Worse case scenario I’ll dig it out of your gears later.”
He tentatively reached out, taking the snack. Tabby watched as he placed it in his mouth, some inner mechanism doing any actual chewing.
“You like it?”
Moon gave a smile, nodding.
She scooted closer to him, placing the bowl between them, “Have all you want.” Moon’s fans clicked up.
Eating another handful, she asked curiously, “How can you taste?”
Moon cocked his head a bit for a moment, taking two fingers and hooking them under his lower lip. Pulling his own mouth open he showed her his tongue: metal core covered with sensors then a protective layer of silicone.
She shifted to her knees, eyes wide as she leaned in for a better look.
His fans were audible now.
“Whoa.” She marveled, “I thought the tongue was just for show, it actually works though…”
Moon withdrew his fingers to speak, “Sun loves Fizzy Faz.”
“What flavor?”
“Sour Lime the most…but all of them.” Moon admitted quietly.
“I liked the pink lemonade.” Tabby nodded.
She sat back down, the movie completely forgotten as she thought. Her smile fell as she wondered, “It’s probably been a long time since you guys could eat or drink anything, huh?”
Moon tilted his head.
“Since they covered your mouth over.” She explained.
Moon stayed quiet, his optic shifting away.
Tabby kept wondering aloud, turning back towards the tv, “It was really shitty of them to do that. Just take away a part of you because it was ‘convenient’.”
Silence stretched between them, only the sound of the movie doing anything to mitigate the awkwardness.
When Moon finally spoke, it was raspy and low, catching Tabby off guard.
“And what will you do?” He asked, “When you are done with us?”
“What?”
“When you grow tired of us….” Moon’s red optic was trained on her, “Will you throw us away too? Just bits of metal and plastic.” He flashed his teeth, calm demeanor vanishing, “How long until you will grow tired of your new toys?”
Tabby was shocked, words feeling like lead on her tongue. She felt a pain in her chest. “Moon…” she started, eyes big, “I’m not just going to abandon you guys.”
“What makes you so special?” He asked, a bite to his voice.
She held his gaze for a long moment, trying to sooth, “You are just as much a person as anyone else I've met…even more so in some ways…”
He was stone still.
“You saved my life.” She went on, “You put yourself into danger to save me. No one has ever done something so selfless for me.” She reached out a hand to him.
He looked at it, optic trembling. His hand carefully raised towards hers, moving slowly and nervously. Their hands touched, a shiver running through the animatronic.
She moved her hand to place their palms together, his large hand dwarfing hers completely.
“I won’t abandon you…I promise.” Her voice was soft but genuine.
~
The words echoed around their head, Moon absentmindedly rubbing his fingers over his palm in thought through the rest of the night. They had put the feeling of her hand to memory, replaying that over and over.
Fingers tracing over metal.
His optics flicked up to her sleeping form, watching silently from his place in the corner. He crept closer, night vision allowing him to see her perfectly.
She was so peaceful, even with a dangerous animatronic staying in the same apartment. Fingers stopped their movements, withdrawing to then reach out towards her. His hand hovered over her sleeping form, head clinking to the side.
Carefully he took the blanket, pulling it up to tuck her in.
The next morning Tabby woke up bright and early to get ready for her first day. Rubbing her eyes she wandered into the bathroom. She groggily started the shower, waiting for it to warm enough to step into.
Standing in the hot water, she let it run over her face as she woke up. Just as Tabby was reaching for the shampoo, she heard the door click open. Swiveling around she could already see Sun’s tall shadow through the curtain.
“Sun, Sunny, my Ray of sunshine.” Tabby’s voice was tight.
“Yeeeeeessss?” He smiled, rays twirling at the nicknames, rocking from the balls of his feet to his toes.
“What are you doing in here?” She clutched the shower curtain around her, face only visible.
“The door was unlocked,” he answered, unfazed, “I thought I could help.”
“I didn’t think I needed to lock it.” She huffed, red faced, “And absolutely not.”
“Oh don’t worry,” he soothed, “I’m programmed to help with bath-time.”
“I’m not a little kid, and this isn’t a bathtub.” She informed sharply, moving back into the shower, adding, “And, And! You don’t need to fry your circuits in water today.”
“I’m waterproof!” He announced proudly, puffing out his chest.
“Oh yea?” She started to lather her hair, asking sarcastically, “Even after your outer casing was compromised in the fire?”
She heard him grumble a bit before admitting defeatedly, “Point taken.”
“So, get out of my bathroom.” Her voice was firm.
“Mmmh.” He mumbled, padding out.
Thankfully, he left her in peace to finish up: Tabby blow drying and tying her hair back, putting on modest makeup to follow. She had to wear heavier clothes for work, thankful that it was beginning to get colder out.
“You look…ready to seize the day!” Sun saved himself quickly.
“Thank you.” Her voice heavy with sarcasm, “I try.”
“I made you breakfast.” Sun smiled, placing a plate of buttered toast before her, “The most important meal of the day.”
She gave him a soft smile, genuine in her statement this time, “Thank you.”
Sun sat beside her, going on, “I wanted to make eggs, too, but I thought it would be best to actually practice first.” He chuckled, “The toaster is a bit easier to master.”
She nodded along as she ate, listening. “I made you a lunch, too.” He tilted his head, faceplate resting on his folded hands, “All easy things as well, so don’t worry about that.”
“Is there anything you are excited to make?” She asked, swallowing, “Like to learn?”
“Hmmmmm.” He thought for a moment, smiling as he exclaimed, “Oh! Banana bread!”
“Banana bread?” She giggled.
“Yea! I’d love to be able to make my own.” Sun nodded.
“Why though?”
“Oh, well one year a kind parent gave us a tiny loaf around Christmas time.” Sun explained, “It was long ago, and we were able to hide it from the staff….it was really good and we’ve never had it again.”
“That was so sweet.” Tabby shifted to look at him more.
“Yea, it was.” He agreed, looking down, “We never forgot it.”
Tabby glanced at her phone, making a sound as she jumped up. “I gotta go!” She took her plate to the sink, “I want to give myself enough time to find a parking place.”
Sun stood, following behind her as she got her purse and coat.
“Oh!” Tabby rushed to the counter, grabbing a scrap piece of paper, scribbling something downed. “Here!” She smiled, handing the paper to Sun, “This is my Amazon account and password.”
“O-Okay.” Sun took the paper, looking down at it nervously.
“I still have a bit in my account.” She explained, picking up her lunch, “And I know how much you hate the clothes…so pick out a better outfit for yourselves. Stay under one hundred dollars though, ok?”
“Starlight, are you sure?”
She smiled, nodding, “Yes, I’m sure.”
“And the bills?” He asked, worriedly.
“We have income starting again, we will be ok.” She soothed, but added, “I really have to go, have a good day today.”
“You too!” He waved, “Good luck, Starlight!”
The door clicked shut, Sun careful to lock it. He looked down at the paper again, circuits heating up.
“She’s so good to us.” Sun sighed, leaning against the door in thought.
M: You know we’ve had that information for like…a week now.
“I know. But she didn’t!” Sun pointed out, “She trusts us with her account.”
~
Tabby clocked out for her lunch, sitting in the break room she opened her lunch bag. She giggled, seeing what Sun had made for her: a pb&j sandwich with the crusts cut off, carrot sticks and a small baggie of nuts.
Wondering if he had eaten the crusts himself, she checked her phone, seeing an email notification.
Her email:
SunnyBoi420: Is it alright if we use next day shipping?
TabbyCatt666: If you are within budget, go for it.
Also…I didn’t expect you to message??
SunnyBoi420: We got an email!
TabbyCatt666: I see that >w<
Why that name though?
SunnyBoi420: Moon said the number was cool! Why? Is it bad?
TabbyCatt666: No…but we will have a talk when I get home, okay?
SunnyBoi420: Have a good day, we miss you!
~
Sun opened the door before she could get the key in the hole, happily greeting her. She looked tired, a heavy bag over her shoulder.
“Welcome home!” Sun hugged her, not backing away until she made a little squeak. He put her down, “Oh sorry, sorry, sorry!”
“It’s ok.” She soothed, wandering into the kitchen to get a quick drink of water.
“Long day?” Sun asked, following her.
She nodded, swallowing before answering verbally, “Different work than I was used to.” She admitted.
“Chin up, Sunshine.”
“Thank you, I’ll be ok.” She gave him a reassuring smile. She placed the cup down, listening as Sun talked about his day to her.
“Oh!” Tabitha snapped her fingers, remembering, “I have a friend stopping by later in the week.”
“Oh?” Sun perked up, curious, “We always like new friends!”
“He’s the one that helped me get the job.” She explained, “Old friend from college, he works in robotics.”
“He?” Sun questioned, voice betraying him.
“Yes, ‘he’.” She eyed him, “You will play nice, right?”
Sun scoffed, turning away offended, “We are the best at playing nice.”
“Mhm.” She didn’t sound convinced, moving around the island counter.
Wanting to win back her good graces, he bounded forward. “I moved all the furniture and vacuumed under it!” Sun announced.
“Oh.” Tabby, looking around the living room, “Thank you!”
She sat her bag down, moving to sit on the couch to decompress a bit.
Sun padded closer, asking curiously, “When did you have a dog?”
“What?”
“A dog?” Sun tilted his head, “I vacuumed up dog fur.”
Tabby suddenly looked embarrassed, not looking at him. Sun put his hand on his hips, stepping closer. He looked like a stern patent.
“I think the previous tenant had a dog…” Tabby admitted, smiling nervously.
“TABITHA!”
Despite all the cleaning done during the day, a large pile of boxes still loomed in the living room. Sun had stacked most of them up, the animatronic having an obsession with stacking objects, but after all the parts ordering it was still a mountain in the corner.
While on her computer that night, Tabby heard the cardboard shuffling around from the other room. She padded down the hallway, the living room dim before her. Peeking around the corner.
The boxes were strewn around the rug, the largest ones arranged around. A lanky figure, on all fours, crawled easily into the biggest one.
“Moon?” Tabby called out, cautiously entering the room.
The boxes shifted, a scrabbling sound as the animatronic moved to face her. Moon sat, knees bent near his chest, red eyes staring back at her.
“What are you doing?” Tabby’s face cracked a smile.
“Mine.” He announced, shifting deeper into the box.
“Are you going to keep them all?” She asked, hand on her hip, smile faltering.
“Yes.”
“All over the living room?”
“Yes.”
She sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose. They’d been through a lot, let them have this…
“Okay.” She conceded.
Moon shifted around in the box excitedly, exclaiming, “Crafts!”
“You want the craft supplies?”
“Arts and crafts!” Moon waved his arms in the air.
Tabby went into the hall closet, picking up the ever expanding box of supplies. Gingerly bringing it to the heap of cardboard that was Moons growing fortress, she handed it over.
Moon took it eagerly, “Thank you.”
The animatronic set to work, cutting and tapping to reshape the cardboard however he saw fit.
~
Later that week…
His optics flicked towards the clock, it was past time for Tabitha to be home.
But it was alright if she was late, stopping to shop or get takeout often. When he finally heard the key, he remembered what day it was…
Sun didn’t bound to the door akin to a puppy, like he normally did. Today was the day Tabby was bringing a friend over, and he could already hear two voices outside. He simply stayed put, head tilting to the side, fidgeting.
Tabby opened the door, stepping to the side. A man stepped through: with olive skin, brown eyes and wavy dark hair. He dressed colorful, sporting a video game shirt and a bright blue jacket. He sat down a large bag, eyes instantly on Sun.
“Oh man, you actually did it.” The man gawked at the animatronic, coming very close to look him over, “I thought you were joking.”
Sun withdrew his rays, nervously twitching a bit.
“Why would I joke about committing a felony.” Tabby padded in behind the stranger. Sun was quick to determine the level of familiarity between the two, mind racing over every small detail.
The man tried to touch a ray, Sun sucking it in before he could make contact. The other laughed, “It is really reactive!”
‘It’
The word echoed around his head.
“He is named Sun.” Tabby corrected, quickly coming up between them. “Arav, this is Sun. Sun, this is Arav.” Tabby introduced them.
Sun’s rays were still retracted a bit, but he forced a smile, “Hello.”
The man, Arav, nodded in acknowledgment. He turned his attention towards Tabitha, asking, “So this is your new project?”
“I want to fix him.” She reminded, “But the solar panels are giving me fits. That’s more your expertise so I thought we could work on that.”
“Working up quite the list of debts, hm?” Arav smiled, voice suggestive.
Sun watched as Tabby’s cheeks reddened, hearing the hint of a giggle in her voice as she playfully shoved the other.
“Can it follow commands?” Arav asked, looking up at Sun.
“If you ask nicely, I’ll consider it.” Sun responded with a low voice.
The other laughed, “Damn! It’s really responsive. Did you hook it up to a learning module?”
“No, he’s always been like this.” Tabby smiled up at Sun, “You can just talk to him like any person. He even makes his own art and music.”
“Freaky.” The other commented.
Tabby showed Arav to her office, going over what issues she’d run into with the repairs. Sun drug his feet when being called in, sitting on the work desk with a pout.
Sun was patient, and used to holding his tongue. He could be quiet and well behaved, and had to be in the daycare.
But this wasn’t the daycare.
Answers to questions were tight and to the point, his normal mirth was absent. He loomed often, a 7ft shadow of metal behind Tabby while the others talked. If anything he did rattled the other man, Arav didn’t show it.
He was easy going and optimistic, quick to make Tabby laugh and with an air of familiarity with her that made Sun’s nonexistent blood boil.
And he was smart, quickly finding the issue with the faulty solar panels where Tabby could not. To top it all off, they worked well together, seamlessly falling into place with the repairs. Arav brought a bag of parts, being told the issues prior.
They talked: reminiscing about their times in college, the new job, and other potential opportunities.
Sun was uncharacteristically quiet, Tabby not noticing over her current conversations. He was able to shift at the right moment, causing a panel to close on the man’s fingers, laughing within their shared headspace over it.
“That should do it.” Arav announced proudly, tightening the last screw over the new transparent yellow plastic paneling.
“Let’s go out on the balcony, test it out!” Tabby took Sun’s hand. The animatronic cracked a smile, following her like a puppy as they went outside.
No matter how much Sun disliked admitting it, they did work nearer to full capacity again.
“Let’s go have a drink.” Arav offered suddenly, “We can call everything even.”
“So you help me and all I need is to allow you to buy me alcohol?” Tabby leaned against the railing, “Oooh no, what a hard decision.”
“There’s a new dive bar near my place, let’s try it.” He added.
Sun’s heart dropped when she accepted, staying silent and pretending to charge while she said quick goodbyes. He heard them move about the apartment before the door closed, a soft ‘click’ to follow.
Taking a step forward, he watched Arav opening the car door for Tabby, driving off together afterwards. His fans kicked up, hands going to the railing as he stared at the empty parking space along the street.
“She’s mine!” Sun growled, almost bending the railing under his hold.
M: Ours.
Moon corrected in his head. Sun huffed with annoyance, “Ours, she’s ours.” He felt something seething deep inside, the rotting feeling that bubbled up in the past. Moon was very used to the feeling, when the virus addled his mind, however, Sun was no stranger to it.
They couldn’t hide away in their room and rip apart staff bots to state that horrid rot now though. They had to sit with it, and stew and try to contain it.
M: We could always…
“No, no, no. No!” Sun shook his head, “We won’t slip again. Not again, not here.” There was a tremble in his tone, fans clicking up.
“Not again…”

2, 14 and 20🥰
Sorry for the late replyyy!! I wanted to actually put thought into this, so it took a minute! Thank you for the questions Francy!!! <3
2. When you’re writing a new story, what is the one thing you need to know before you can start? I'm not sure if there's really one thing I need to know, usually everything I write starts with a concept, or builds off a one-liner piece of dialogue. Like when I wrote A Job Well Done I started with just knowing I wanted reader to be asking Eddie those invasive 'balls' questions because I thought it would be funny lol
14. What’s the one word you can never spell/use properly, no matter how hard you try? Definitely and immediately ( just used spell check, and spelt 'immediately' so wrong that it wasn't showing up) I don't know what it is about those words but I cannnnnnnnot spell them for the life of me
20. What is your best piece of advice for writing smut scenes? SUCH A GOOD BUT HARD QUESTION (and why I took so long to answer this) and basically I have to put a read more lol
I feel like I could have a lot to say and this could potentially fall into the ‘those who can’t do, teach’ realm, but I’m fine with it. Mostly because I hardly consider myself a writer, like, it's something I do, but it’s not what I am. I think more than anything I am a learner. I like to learn new things, and in this case, I learned everything I know from reading other people's work. Most boring piece of advice: read. Find your favourite piece of smut, and study why it's your favourite. For me, something is usually a favourite because of the vocabulary — fun words used, pretty words used, there's creativity in the words, there's variety, etc. I am a sucker for good words.
I think the biggest tip for this is looking up synonyms. Usually I write what I want to write first and I let myself be as repetitive as I want, and then I go back and change words that get repeated too often. I don't have as big of a vocabulary as I would like, but vocab is so easily hackable by looking up synonyms for words that you do know! (My testament is that I went to grade school in french but grew up in an english household, so basically I suck at both languages, and have to put in a lot of effort looking up synonyms, like you guys would never ever ever give my drafts the time of day lol)
Also, a fun little thing that I do is a very unorthodox version of research called turning to reddit. For example, if I’m writing a blow job scene, I’ll google something like ‘best blow job you ever got male perspective reddit’ and I’ll read a bunch of replies, pick and choose descriptive words that I like, add it to a list, then write something using said words. It's fun. It’s like a game. I enjoy doing it. You learn a lot (too much sometimes, but the ‘male perspective’ component is an added adventure and helps with variety and novel outlooks!)
But yeah. Sooooo rambley lol, and I don't know if this is actually helpful, but it could be a fun smut writing exercise to try!

Umm if you have study tips can u share them? Im literally gonna fail upcoming exam I feel it in my boobs 😭
In your WHAT!? lmao😭 I was malfunctioning after reading that💀 anyways....
So, the thing is that I wasn't very consistent during my college years tbh💀 like I didn't study everyday for couple of hours as most of the people suggests but still, I achieved a pretty good grade and was on the list of top students when I graduated (I graduated last year)
So, if you're thinking you're gonna fail, you are WRONG. I believe you can still make it!
So, what I did was, I used some study techniques. Which was -
Pomodoro method - well, I think it's pretty common now days. Every other student know about this I think? Basically, you study for half an hour *based you attention span because if it's short, you probably won't be able to focus for that long AT FIRST* then take 10 minutes of break and again continue it. I did it and my attention span grow much better after doing it a few times!
Warning: do not use social media or any other things where you can be distracted easily while you're on a break. Take a walk or listen to music or any other relaxing thing where you brain can adjust to the information you just consumed.
Music: music is something I listen to everyday and it helped me soooo much during my exams! NOT ANY CATCHY SONGS AND DEFINITELY NOT BTS OR KPOP🚫 do not listen to the songs to which you can dance, WE AREN'T HERE TO DANCE! we are here to study. When I said music, I meant instrumental and classic one! Listen to ambient music, piano mixed with rain sounds which will help to focus on your tast. There are some Gama sounds or something on YouTube I listened to, I don't remember💀 but listen to the music where you won't be distracted and your brain will be relaxed and help you to calm yourself so that you can focus more. Whenever I panicked about 'oh no I don't have time' or 'i won't be able to complete it' I just put some classic instrumental music on shuffle and immediately my mind relaxed. It was so helpful!
Focus: Now, ofcourse you know that you have to focus but you just.... can't, right? Yeah, that happened to me too! But, a little amount of focus right now can maybe make your life better. Maybe, if you get good grades you'll be able to go to your desired uni or your dream job or your life will be so good! I'm not saying that your grades can decide your future but what's so harmful about trying and giving your best, right? You know what you have to do to focus, hide your phone or any other distractions bla bla bla.... Everyone knows but no one applies because our brain can't let us, so tell me, why you're letting your brain control your actions? Wouldn't you be the one who will control your brain instead?
Remember, your little efforts today can make your tomorrow better.
Lastly, don't stress yourself out. Don't pressure yourself much. Don't worry. It'll be okay. The more you think 'Oh I'll fail' or 'I can't make it' or 'I don't have enough time' it will menifest in real life, instead focus on the tasks you have in-hand right now, make a strategy, devide those chapters, put some small challenges for yourself like 'I will complete this chapter in ____ amount of time' and focus on completing it and reward yourself afterwards with some food or a break.
Also, never forget to take proper amount of sleep. Let your brain rest and consume those knowledge you just pour into it all together because, now if I make you eat some food forceful and don't give you proper time to digest, you will have digestive problems or gas or even worse. Your brain is just like that. It needs nurturing just like any other part of your body.
Lastly drink water to keep yourself hydrated and eat your meals because if you don't even have nutrients and minerals in your body, how it will function properly? Then also, you brain won't be able to work.
So take care of yourself, focus, study and believe in yourself! I know you can do it.😊
Best wishes for you!🤍🌸
