"How could I? I didn't have my phone?" the girl asked slightly panicked,.

"That's because you had mine," Lando spoke up, tapping on his phone, "You logged into your account from mine," he said showing it to the girl.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP ME?" She yelled.

"BECAUSE YOU GUYS KEPT RUNNING ONTO THE FUCKING ROAD AND LOGAN AND ARTHUR COSPLAYED SPIDER-MAN" He yelled back.

"Okay, okay," Max put his hands up to calm the two down, sometimes they were so similar he'd want to ask if Lando had a twin separated at birth, "Lando, what did she post?"

"oh oooh, this going to be fun," the boy said, switching to the girl's profile.

username give it up she literally just their friend username and even if she wasn’t why would yall treat her differently than any other wag? username look at her man she's literally using them for fame and money

"Well, that wasn't as bad," y/n shrugged.

"That's cause you didn't have your camera roll," Logan snapped back, finally feeling a little more human, the hangover easing down.

"Look who's talking," the Aussie came to y/n's defence, "You're lucky you didn't have YOUR phone," Oscar called out, making the American's face turn red.

"Damnnn Oscar!" The girl praised, colour returning to his face, all were slowly returning to normal, even Arthur had found his way back to the table. Seeing this, the two older men Max and Charles ordered for the table, while Lando, went through more of Y/n's Instagram with the group.

"Honestly, the response isn't that bad, and our PR officers won't murder us, sooo we're good," he said, smiling and logging out of her Instagram account.

"Oh my god," The Monganeseque boy spoke up after being missing for almost half an hour, " I don't think we ate last night," he said shoving the food in his mouth.

The older men expected one of the other three to corroborate the boy's words but they just witnessed four twenty-somethings guzzling down food and large glasses of OJ, lifting plates to slide food into their mouths, letting runny egg yolks and bacon grease getting over their face and hands.

"Fucking hell," Max snarled, "it's like watching animal planet or something,"

"It's disgusting is what it is," Charles agreed, "MERDE ARTHUR, MAMAN RAISED YOU BETTER THAN THIS!" He yelled at his brother who was currently dipping a rolled up pancake in orange juice.

"Oh mate that's fucking disgusting," Y/n scoffed but then followed suit.

"Both of you are insane," Logan cried out, his accent thick, but failed to notice his own disgusting plate, dipping his bacon in maple syrup.

"ugh, there is something mentally deficient with all of you," Oscar frowned.

"Big words for someone mixing coffee into their oj," Lando cringed, taking a photo of the four and their disgusting eating habits.

"I- I can't look at this, I'm leaving," Charles gave up, holding up his hands in surrender, "I have a meeting at Ferrari anyways,"

"Bye, Charles!" the table chorused.

"Oh shit, it's 11am already?" Max called, looking at his watch, "I've got debrief at noon, see you next race, yeah Y/n?" He patted the girl's shoulder as he left.

"Never, again, ever." She yelled out, behind the man, making him laugh.

"Wait really?" The American looked over, bacon in hand.

"Nah, but like I've got uni and stuff and I've been going Arthurs races as well so, I'll probably be back by Britain or Netherlands," she explained.

"Oh yeah I forgot you still go to uni," Lando said.

"Not all of are millionaires cause of our fast vroom vroom cars," she spit back.

"yeah, yeah, " he waved off, "Oscar, Zak's told me to babysit you till our flight tomorrow so you don't do something or someone," he wriggled his brows, smirking at his teammate, making him roll his eyes, "you regret, so let's go and leave that disgusting abomination here," he said pointing to the coffee-orange juice.

"Guy's I don't know about y'all but I'm going go and pass out in the room till next year," The girl said, pushing away from the table.

"Same," The two boys followed.

oooooh this was ✨✨✨ but next we have the summer break chapter 🤭

𝐓𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐚𝐰 - 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ✰

Hi guys, in this post i want to talk about Law of Attraction and compare a little bit to Law of Assumption.

I want to point out that there's a lot of irony and yes, maybe i'm making fun of law of attraction. But sorry it's ridiculous.

I worked hard on this post and i tried my best to explain how law of attraction is simply limited so reblogs will be appreciated to reach with this post to more people!

I'm so glad that first i discovered Law of Assumptiom because when i dived with curiosity into law of attraction it left me so, so confused.

𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 ✰

So one of the "rules" in law of attraction is that you attract what you feel.

If you feel bad, unhappy - this is what you attract to your life. Your feelings are main determinant what surrounds you and creates your life and circumstances. - that's what law of attraction is basically saying.

And don't get me wrong here. In law of assumptiom we are talking about feeling either but it's totally different meaning.

We are saying about feeling it as a person who have their desire, who KNOWS that have it despite what they see in 3D.

Feeling = Knowing

But in law of attraction they are talking about feeling as emotion.

Feeling = Emotion

You need to feel happy to attract all the good things.

While in law of assumption you can feel unhappy, sad, cry whole day in bed, but still manifest whatever you want just by knowing that you have it. Periodt.

𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 ✰

This is funny, because law of attraction community is so sooo limited. I was in couple groups on amino and facebook and they all said the same things. For example:

You can manifest money but you need to take an action. Go to work.

Wow, i didn't know this is how manifestation works. Go to work and you'll manifest money. 😂

Of course in law of attraction you can manifest ONLY certain things. When you'd say that you want to manifest different eye color, they would say how this is impossible and you just CAN'T do that. 🧍

People there would tell you how you can attract good things into your life but you need to be in good mental state, always have high vibrations and think positively, otherwise you'll attract all the bad situations in your life. Interesting...

𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐒 ✰

Other common thing in law of attraction are SUBLIMINALS. Well, in law of assumptiom we also use subliminals and i still feel like situation with subliminals are very similiar in both - because people relying so much on these... (i made post about subliminals related so ya can check)

But let's talk how subliminals are used in law of attraction. People have to listen to subliminals to raise their vibrations (not only for this but mostly!) Because if you are not surrounded by good vibrations you CAN'T manifest! 🤪

Listen to this subliminal 6738289 hours everyday for 99 years and you'll see the results!

This is the most common thing i see in law of attraction. You need to do xxx in order to manifest xxx. If you won't listen to this, your (certain) wishes won't come into fruition. :(( ah, i'm sad.

While in law of assumption we are listening to subliminals to just remind that we have our desire. Not to get. I will listen to this subliminal and then i will manifest xyz. How you can get something when you already have it? You want it. You got it. Easy as it sounds.

Unfortunately in law of assumption community, still many people paying other bloggers tons of money for subliminals (i won't mention one *cough*) to enter the void state, to have better self-concept (it's not even needed to manifest lol), to manifest xyz, to shift... Bro, you don't have to do that. I don't even want to imagine how does it look like in law of attraction community...

𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 ✰

Just like with the subliminals, situation with affirmations is almost identical.

You need to affirm 588738 times, robotically.

Of course in law of assumption we also use affirmations but depending on what our ASSUMPTIONS are. If someone like to affirm, then they are doing it. If they rather listen to subliminals they're doing it. It depends what each of us rather, what is more comfortable for us.

But in law of attraction... Well

Repeat that affirmation for whole week and watch how your life changes!

I'm sure at least one of you, guys heard that sentence. 🧍

You need to do something in order to get. You affirm to get something. Certain amount of time.

You rely on this affirmation and repeat it as you'll forget your identity.

Why i called law of attraction toxic.

Because it is. You are giving away your power to external things. You are doing certain things to get. You need to always think positively and have abundance mindset. You can manifest only certain things. Where is the point here? Not without reason, this law is called law of attraction. But it's totally useless and highly limited law which won't get you anywhere.

I am aware that some people won't agree with me, but that's okay. Or maybe there is a someone who is into law of attraction but after reading my post will finally wake up? I hope.

the "but almost all games nowadays are exploiting children (and all ages) players?" type comments about the sso thing are just haunting me. the "but thats weird, why this?" reaction, instead of "hell yeah! we need to destroy exploitative manipulative advertising and companies that do this to people!"

ppl are so used to being bombarded with exploitative advertising and dishonest marketing and being manipulated and brainwashed and exposed to schemes to try to get you to waste money on useless gambling and subpar quality products. and ppl are so used to *children* being bombarded with that. that it feels okay to them. that it feels like "well, thats just how things are".

and i keep thinking about how extremely insane it is to me that ppl will be actively mad about fandom shit but NOT ACTIVELY MAD about advertising and exploitative tactics.

like. if you are mad about ppl saying "i hate this game", or by people drawing fanart you dont like, or whatever, if that somehow affects you personally emotionally (it really doesnt have to you know - its not a good place to be in) but youre. not everyday being personally emotionally affected by the fact that capitalists do this shit to everyone and to children who cant even fucking tell that theyre being advertised to. the children dont fucking understand that the companies are preying on them. they cant recognise advertising for what it is. they dont know quality standards. they dont understand what gambling is or why its bad. they dont know how to tell when companies are lying. they dont know how bad plastic is. they dont know how much all of this explotative capitalist shit can hurt them and everyone else and our planet.

it just drives me crazy. that ppl can be so upset about random things individuals online are doing who are not capitalist and not abusers and not exploiting children or vulnerable people, but youre not actively fucking screaming against capitalism, against how people are being killed in the name of Owning More and Making Money (the wars killing people are about money and resources and land!!! capitalism!!!), about the planet being destroyed, about human rights being violated, all these things, are less important to you (you dont get that upset about it everyday, you dont scream about it everyday) than some fucking random harmless people saying your favourite game or movie sucks, bc now thats a real issue, or someone writing a fanfic you think sucks, bc now thats a real issue, or someone telling you to stop being mean to harmless people is sooo awful what a crime cant believe your human right to free speech is being suppressed like that, while people are fucking dying to make your sweatshop fashion and your slavery chocolate.

boohoo i have real issues too, yeah heres the thing, im sure you do have a few real issues. like being ND is a real issue, or being queer, or being oppressed for how you were born, or how you look, all of those things are real issues. but if you get mad about fucking dumb ass fandom things like ppl criticising a game or disagreeing with you about a fandom topic (not a human rights one) or god forbid people telling you to be kinder and more respectful to others. if those are things you get mad at. and you go "huh but exploitative advertising and monetising towards kids is normal?" or "but theyre a company they have to do pay staff?" i just want to fucking scream

[honeylikesyanderes]

Hiiii honey! I hope your having a fantastic day! If You want to answer then could I request yandere karma with a shy timid cute smart/nerdy s/o? They are intelligent but they don’t have friends so he doesn’t really need to manipulate them but they are both still in class e and teenagers so you know bullies and stuff and he’s just clingy and protective of them? Feel free to take your time or ignore bye bye!

hi my love!!

hmm i like your idea anon

i'm just gonna make this a highschool au!

karma and darling are both 18

that being said:

hope you enjoy!

18+ minors dni (like fr, there's violence and blood in this)

gender neutral reader/darling

likes and reblogs are highly appreaciated

if there’s something i missed or something that you're still curious about, feel free to send me another ask!

-------------------------------------------------------

karma as a teenager is a bit different from karma as an adult

he's less quiet and a bit more impulsive

but he's still very very charming

kinda like a boyish charm

karma is very popular in high school

especially since its a private school and everyone knows how influential his family is

he's still a lot more mature than his peers

that being said

assuming that darling is the shy intelligent type, teen! karma would be sooo into it-

i think his yandere tendencies with a shy darling would just start off as him being protective

he might not acknowledge that he's a yandere at this time

he might just assume that he's 'protecting someone who can't protect themselves'

then down the line, he gets to know you

and he falls so hard.

you're perfect.

everything he's ever wanted.

so he becomes even more protective

and more clingy

he follows you everywhere

and where he cant follow you, he's either sending bhodi or his sister to follow you.

and when they cant follow you everywhere, our dear karmichael gets an idea.

concealed cameras.

karma has always been tech savvy

so making tiny concealed cameras were a breeze.

(he attached them to your bag and phone when you weren't looking)

a few days after he installs the cameras, he realises that he needs to hear your conversations as well!

he doesn't want any boys asking his beloved out ofc

so after pulling an all-nighter

he created tiny concealed mics!

(he also attached them to your phone and bag when you weren't looking)

(you should really pay attention more to your surroundings darling.)

karma observes you through the cameras

<they're connected to his phone fyi>

btw teen karma is pretty violent towards bullies.

anyone that makes you feel bad for being intelligent/ a nerd?

they come to school with their head bashed in.

someone talking to you in a disrespectful manner cause they know you're shy and you wont say anything back?

they're suddenly seen wearing turtlenecks everyday for the next month.

(rumour says that they have handprints on their neck from an attempted strangulation)

another person touches you in any way without your explicit consent?

they come to school with the arm (or both arms) that they used to touch you spontaneously broken.

a love rival confesses to you even tho youre already his?

they randomly start vomiting blood in 5th period.

(karma's sister is good with poisons)

if darling is a scholarship student and someone makes fun of them for being less advantaged,

karma will report their parents company for tax evasion/fraud/embezzlement/money laundering

this will cause their accounts and assests to be frozen

and they will become paupers overnight.

then it becomes clear to the entire school.

dont fuck with y/n unless you're willing to face the consequences.

darling on the other hand knows that karma is behind the punishments given to their antis

(its kinda obvious, lets be honest)

and they don't mind it too much

they do beg karma to be a little less mean with the punishments

but teen karma is very stubborn, yet still very charming

so he'll manage to convince you that being mean is for the best

cause rich teenagers are dicks.

and they deserved to be treated as such.

basically, teen karma with a shy intelligent darling is basically just karma showing his true nature over and over again.

he's ruthless, unforgiving towards offenders and he is the judge, jury and executioner.

[beecampbell]

you know ok last thing i'm gonna say about this. other than a trans woman showing her dick on tumblr is a non-issue to begin with if that has even happened. why does this dumbass fucking CEO do the literary equivalent of bashing his head into a wall to convince us this website is making him fucking broke and it's not profitable at all. bro.. not at ALL? there's not even like a penny of profit being made out here? and you're on sabbatical for 3 months, hopefully unpaid, which means you're not at all struggling financially. you are thriving. and you want us to feel bad and cry over ur dead body because u bashed ur head in the wall too many times bc this site was sooooo unprofitable and it was all our fault? sorry if i dont buy it, mister 3-month-sabbatical harassing a trans woman on twitter for a fucking non-issue. possibly outing her, shaming her, and then you complain on the website you own that 🥺🥺 you might have to sell it or shut it down bc people are sooo mean. useless man and his useless money. you guys are so mean and you're keeping ME from making MORE MONEY. does he pay all of his terf staff 6 figures a year? how much does he put in his own pockets? the adds i see every 5 posts on my dash give u so little money you can't even make a return on investment? oh me oh my!!!! how dare we be so mean!!!!!! how dare we react in front of blatant transmisogyny and harassment by staff and now the CEO on MULTIPLE transwomen. we dont even make them enough money for their satisfaction! how dare we i ask!

[ruminate88]

I’ve watched way less TikTok and been trying to be careful who I listen to, what advice I take and of course NOT watching the videos that say “Your ex is coming back” 🤪🤪🤪 This particular video though, was helpful:

It ALL makes sense why I feel bad and don’t want anything. Why I don’t go for any dreams of mine or why I feel bad to ask for stuff. I jumped at the first guy who was actually nice to me and married him…. Obviously I had been given soooo little by Andrew for over a year, that I was starving for kindness and affection! Desperate for someone to truly see me, care about me and fill me up. My husband was sooooo nice but he’s not perfect. He doesn’t support me in every single area of my life. He’s gotten better and I do see he’s capable of empathy, sensitivity, change and being emotional but I jumped way too quick.

when we were engaged and bought our house, I kept calling it “his house” and “his money.” But people were saying to me, “that’s your house and money too once you get married” ahhh I was super uncomfortable with that!! I found out how much my wedding ring cost and oh I felt sooo horrible 😢😢😢

like, when my husband stresses over us not having enough money to do more things or buy more things, it just makes me frustrated and wanna push him away. Like, I don’t CARE about freakin money or stuff. I just wanna feel better and I just want him to hold me. Men are not usually super emotional like women anyway and I’m not even comfortable to ask my husband just to hug me and tell me it’s ok!!

also, I had to beg Andrew to pay me attention and that sucked. I don’t wanna beg for anything ever again. I don’t wanna beg my husband to stop caring so much about stupid money and see me. Just be with me. Why can’t being with me, even if we’re not rich, be enough??? I know men want to be the provider and that’s great, I support my husband’s job and hard work. I occasionally tell him how grateful I am for his hard work and I tell him I understand how expensive the cost of living is BUT I DON’T FREAKING CARE about all that right now!!

I’m tired of men using me and not seeing me. My husband never yells at me or puts me down. He goes to work, comes home and sometimes tells me about his day unless he’s tired then maybe he’s more quiet and he’ll watch tv with me and it’s just quiet and peaceful but I feel disconnected and all I want is for my husband to embrace me and let me feel comfortable. Instead, I just internalize everything, keeping all the pain to myself. I’m uncomfortable to talk about it all to him. plus my husband would not understand me talking about Andrew anyway, he would assume I still love Andrew and that is not worth it to me to trigger all that. My husband is the one who had to FaceTime Andrew for me and threaten him to leave me alone. He doesn’t like Andrew and I just fear he’ll be upset but maybe not 🥺 I just am too scared right now to find out. I don’t like holding it all in either and I feel very secretive, like I’m lying to my husband pretending I don’t think about Andrew when I know I do. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I don’t want anymore confusion or drama. That’s why I almost always wanna just be left alone. I don’t want anybody to do anything for me or give me anything. I believe this all stems from being conditioned so long to accept nothing because Andrew, Cody and Jake gave me nothing but humiliation, betrayal, heartbreak, CRITICISM and confusion. That’s what I was fed for most of my 20’s. I never had a guy ever see me or care about my feelings. I felt rejected and attacked at every turn. Obviously there’s no real tags for this post for obvious reasons. #vent

[thaleleah]

hahaha my dad is literally such a pervert 😂

my stepmom is such a terrible person! she made my dad get rid of our family cat who's been in the family since i was in high school and i had to find out by visiting my dad one day and found my baby was gone 😭 they didn't even ask me if i would take her in cause i would've and they just gave her away like she was nothing 🫤

right?!! she always speaks highly of my dad on purpose to boost up his manhood so he doesn't leave her = no money for her. she is such a manipulative liar.

"he'd probs break a damn hip" had me dead 😂

so. for some unknown reason, a lot of women find my dad hot (ew) he's literally your typical bald and old white man 😂 i honestly think it's his money that attracts this women, he's a sugar daddy for these younger women 😂 i've never met his girlfriend but she's just another gold digger! and i believe she's in her late 20s-early 30s!

ask away babe i love this. the tea is hot here 🩷

i feel you girl. nothing worse than a parent choosing the stepmonster over their own kids. like what more do they want from us? you ruined our families lives! that's what they are good at!

awee girl i'm so sorry this fucker has influenced your relationships. but i don't blame you at all cause i would probably be the same too. they cause nothing but trauma. but you got this girl! i promise you, you'll find someone who is worthy of your time and won't remind you of your fuckwit stepshit 🩷

i'm sorry... court? what a fucking loser. girl please hire someone to beat the shit out of him 😂

omgg yess these vents have been so therapeutic for me! i personally don't have a good relationship with my sisters at all and i refuse to talk to them about my dad and stepmonster because they are just pure assholes who only care about themselves. we have each other so *big big hugs through the screen* 🩷

i bother my friends sooo much with sending them anything tom blyth 😂

THE WAY I HATE YOUR FAMILY RIGHT NOW OMGGGG

I would not be able to forgive them if my family got rid of our cat without even asking me if I wanted to take them in. I'd probs go completely no contact with them (and by no contact, I mean because they'd be dead)

Also, fuck this side chick too. Let's just add her in there cause she seems like she's just as bad as the rest of them 😂 How did he meet her anyway? Was she the replacement secretary to your stepmonster? 👀

Yeahhhh he really fucked me up good. But I'm honestly such a huge romantic at heart and I'm hopeful that a soulmate will come and sweep me off my feet one day

🎵 A dream is a wiiiiish your heart maaaaakessss 🎵

Also, yes. Court lol. He offered to help pay for part of my college tuition as a "The past is the past. I'm a changed man. Let's be a ✨family✨ now" and then he got pissed cause dropped one of my classes that I didn't even need and said that I was "ungrateful". So he threatened to take me to court and sue me for all the money he 'wasted' on my tuition. Now... I'm not saying that I want him to fall off a cliff. But if it happened? Can't say I'd be upset about it tbh

Yes, babes! We def have each other! *big big virtual hugs* 🧡 And I appreciate you listening to my rants too cause i don't have a therapist right now and I really should lol

Side note: OBVIOUSLY Tom Blyth is the finest specimen on earth. That's no debate. But.... thoughts on Austin Butler? Cause he just came on my radar and ohhhhh mannnn 👀

[ch0colatec0ff33-art]

I used this an two random generations to wander a bunch of questions for my OCS!

Everything will be under the cut to avoid a MASSIVE text post

(biscuit, 22)

Hrm jealousy is weird bc if it doesn't happen often. More often it's Envy.

She really keeps to herself about it,. Doing her best to try and hide it 'fix' it

If it's bad enough it'll come out as passive aggressive jabs

(BnL, 41)

Brenda LOVES young kids and babies. She thinks they're SOOO cute and loves to dress them up. But she sees them way more as dolls than actual living, breathing humans.

Lawrence however. He wants nothing to do with them. They're gross, annoying, dirty, and stupid. All they do is cry and eat all of his food. You couldn't pay him all the money in the world to change a diaper.

He automatically assumes all children are stupid animals

(jack, 11)

Hrrmr. I think he tends to avoid things that confuse him? Or at least try to understand surface level and whatever he can't, but when it reaches a point of being stressful he'll ignore it

(biscuit, 28)

She'll take the worst truth over the smallest lie. A lie always hurts more

(Calypso, 7)

The smell of the ocean and sounds! They love everything about the sea

(biscuit, 28)

She'll take the worst truth over the smallest lie. A lie always hurts more

(Robin, 20)

Hrm. The concept of love is confusing to them, hard to explain. They can feel the difference between how they love someone. Obviously they love Anjea differently from how they'd love Sasha or DD as family. But it's impossible for them to put those exact feelings into words

(Henrik, 41)

He loves em! He sees that kids are our future and if you don't show them kindness and patience then how can they know how to give it. They deserve the world and need to be protected

(Robin, 15)

They rehearse EVERYTHING they say several times over. They're so paranoid about saying something stupid or that will get them into trouble. More often than not they overthink what they had to say so much they just choose not to speak instead. It's safer that way

(calypso, 3)

They have a long ass process to get themselves to bed. Skin care, hair care, making the bed, PJs, ocean noises, sleeping mask, a billion pillows to support their body in every which way. Humidifier.

If one thing isn't right they CANT sleep

(porter, 21)

Bitch ass just rolls out of bed, puts on clothes that are more often than not already worn and on the floor from the day before. Slap hair gel into his hair and that's it.

(Robin, 5)

It's hard to say. They already have mega trust issues, but they'll stick around someone that hurts them bc they feel they deserve it in a way?

The fastest way to loose robins trust is hurting someone they care about. You can walk all over them but the second you start shit with someone they care about, it's over

[aitadnd]

Hey all! I submitted this a while back and realized I worded some things poorly, so I thought I could clear a few things up.

I am not at all new to online DND, it's just in person DND I've never done before! Like I said before, I've played in a lot of online oneshots (I think about 12 or 13 now). I spend a lot of time on DND forums and subreddits and respond to ads looking for players, so I'm quite familiar with things like Roll20 and 5etools and tabletop simulator. It's just that I can be quite shy, and while I had a lot of fun in these games, I didn't make lifelong friends, ya know?

We had a discord night the day I was asked to DM and I brought up the possibility of doing it online, but my friends seemed keen to do it in person and I really want that too. We don't see each other often since we're all busy, so we want to use this as an excuse to all get together and hang out! We've already decided to shoot for the 28th as the day to hang out together all day and play (time off work has already been acquired from all parties except 1, who may have to drop out).

That night they also did ask me what materials they should bring and I (literally buzzing from excitement at the idea of getting to play with them) said maybe a bit too quickly "Oh don't worry, I'll take care of all of it!" Sooo, yeah. That part. Might be my bad 😅I HAVE kind of backtracked on that a bit since then. I mentioned something like "well actually it would help a lot to have something to take notes, and maybe bring your own dice?" and they weren't upset at all, just amused.

I also talked to them about maybe running a module, but they know I'm a huge DND nerd and that I have been making my own homebrew setting, just for myself, for years. I sometimes gush about it in our discord server and before they were just like "that sounds great sweetie," but now they say they want to play in that world! Which is. And I cannot stress this enough. STILL making me die of happiness to this day. I have the best friends in the world. <3333 And yes, it means more prep work for me, but DND is what I use to unwind and relax! Building this world has been the thing I look forward to most in my day, and now building it for THEM? Even better.

And on to "why $100"? Honestly it's a ballpark number, and one I'm not at all married to. I'd happily pay for all the prep myself! It's just if I'm solely footing the bill prep time might take longer for what I want to do. And I DO plan on using online PDFs or 5etools for stuff like the DM's guide, or monster manual. But I want to at least have a physical copy of the Player's Handbook for them to share, and maybe a couple sets of spare dice because if I know my friends at least one of them will forget their dice. And the PHB alone can be like 50$ if I can't find one used (which I'm currently doing. I've been to a used book store and game store so far, and I'm willing to keep looking.)

As for stuff like maps? I know I don't need them, and I've played plenty of theater of the mind games before. But I know at least a couple of my friends are more visual learners, and I'm an okay artist, while a couple of my friends are art majors and FANTASTIC artists. My plan is to get some construction paper and draw some maps I can reuse, like generic forest, generic tavern, generic city street- and get those laminated so we can draw on them with markers. And maybe if we end up playing more than once I can recruit my more artistically inclined friends' help in drawing more maps.

I've also DIYed a DM's screen out of old cardboard and duct tape, and one of those artistically inclined friends offered to bring her paints over and paint all our characters on it (They've been private messaging me on discord with character ideas and I love them for it).

I think that's about it! TL;DR: I have experience with online DND, but me and my friends want to play in person. We've already started planning for it. the 100$ was just a ballpark number and I haven't asked for money from any of them yet, and idk if I'm going to. If I DID ask for money it would go to things like a single PHB to share, spare dice, construction paper, laminating said construction paper, markers, etc. I know I don't need all the fancy schmancy books and minis and add ons, and wouldn't give WOTC that much money anyway. My friends and I are very very excited to play!!! :)

WIBTA for asking my friends to pay me for DMing?

Maybe a weird situation but hear me out. I (22F) really really love DND. I listen to shows like NAADNDP and CR and D20. I’ve played in a lot of online oneshots and tried finding a local group to play with but haven’t been very successful because between classes and work I’m always too busy.

A couple days ago in a discord movie night with my friends (all early 20s) we watched the DND movie, and my friends were super into it and kept asking me stuff like “Is this from the game? Can you really do that in the game? Was that a good dice roll?”, just being really into it. Later one of them asked if I would maybe DM for them. I was SUPER excited as I’ve always wanted my friends to play DND with me but never pushed cause they didn’t seem too interested. I said yes without a moment’s hesitation and started planning. But in the middle of planning I realized how much I really needed to buy. I’ve never actually done DND in person. At the very least I need a dice set, plenty of paper, something to use for maps, something to use as a screen- even if I forgo minis and the books and the modules and all that expensive stuff. Not to mention I would need to take time off work, because right now I’m going to classes 5 days a week and working 6 days a week and that 7th day is for staying at home in bed recovering only.

So I was wondering: would it be considered a dick move if I were to ask my friends to give me a bit of cash in return for DMing? Obviously not enough to replace the lost income from work, but maybe like $20 each (from 5 people)? Or maybe ask them to help buy some of the materials I need? I’m afraid to ask and scare them off the idea of playing, because I wanna play soooo bad, but also I am very much broke and might be putting myself in a bind if I try to do this all by myself.

What are these acronyms?

November 24th, 2019

You stretched and rolled out of bed, you got up to feed Lucky and took your phone off the charger.

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: Tonight at like 7, be ready.

You: oh shit, how ready?

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: new fit type ready.

Apple Pay $500

You: Oh 😦😦 Word.

You stared at the money on your phone at this point not even surprised he sent it but still feeling grateful. As you began preparing breakfast as silent as you could, Jordyn was sound asleep on your bed still, face buried in the pillows.

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: what are you doing today?

You: I guess now I’m going to the mall to get a new outfit 🤣

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: that’s what I like to hear. Send me pictures 😊

As you waited for the eggs to finish heating up to scramble them, you popped some bread in the toaster.

You: okay 😊 what are you up to today?

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: practice for most of the morning, then I’m getting food with some of the boys.

You: okayy, have fun 🤗

“Ughhh,” You heard Jordyn groan without saying any other words.

“Awww, look who’s finally up,” you chirped, scooping eggs from out of the pan and onto the plate.

“Oh I feel amazing,” she moaned sarcastically.

You walked over to her and handed her a water bottle with her plate of scrambled eggs and toast. She thanked you and attempted to take small bites.

“Do you remember anything from last night?” You chuckled.

“I wasn’t that bad,” she mumbled and you glared at her. “I remember… moments.”

“Yeah? Like what?” You asked her, anticipating her response.

“Talking to Miles, meeting some of the team, being on the table…”

“Almost throwing up in Melo’s car and nearly giving him a heart attack?” You chuckled.

“Damn… sorry about that,” she mumbled.

“It’s okay… you held it in… then proceeded to throw up in the elevator on the way up,” you confirmed and she threw her hands in her face out of embarrassment.

“Aw shit y/n I’m so so sorry,” she muttered.

“Don’t be sorry at me be sorry at the janitors who probably came into work and were shook as hell,” you exclaimed. “It was too late for us too tell anyone about it and we were not about to clean it ourselves.”

Completely disregarding your words, a devious grin slowly grew on her face.

“Sooo did you and Melo finally kiss?”

“No,” you giggled looking down. “That was interrupted by your gagging.”

“Aww man y/n c’mon. I’m annoying when I’m drunk, I’m so sorry.”

“You are,” you laughed. “I forgive you. He asked me to get ready for tonight at 7. I don’t know what he has planned but he sent money for me to buy a new outfit soooo we have to go to the mall,” you murmured, taking a bite out of your own toast.

“Sent you money?” She exclaimed.

“I knew that would be the only thing you heard out of that sentence,” you laughed. “Yes, he did. Doesn’t happen often so I’m kind of anticipating he wants me to dress up.”

She propped herself up.

“How much money are we talking though?”

“$500.”

“Oh hell nah bitch there’s no time for me to be hungover we gotta go-“ she said as she rushed to stand up and was quickly humbled by a pounding feeling in her temple.

“After some coffee,” she laughs, sitting down.

•••

You both got up and ready to go shopping. Jordyn drove, and you picked up some coffee first before anything. When you made it to the mall, it took a while to decide what stores you wanted to shop in. You decided on one that fit your style the most.

Jordyn mainly helped you pick something out but wanted to do some shopping of her own while you tried things on.

After piling up a bunch of different pieces you wanted to try on, you scavenged around in the dressing room trying everything on and taking a picture of each outfit and sending them each to Melo.

After sending them all you awaited his responses and he took the time to reply to each one until he acknowledged his favorite and the one he wanted you to buy.

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: hell nah not this

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: girl why you pick this out

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: hmmm I like this you should buy it still but it don’t fit the vibe

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: buy thisss but not for tonight 😏

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: this the oneeeee oh you look🤤🤤

You giggled at his response of approval. You started gathering everything together of what he liked and what he did not. You hung up the ones you were going to leave and put the ones you were going to buy on the bench.

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯: Hmm what’s that lil red peaking through the back in this?

You looked down at the red bra that you had on that was covered in rhinestones.

You: my bra?

Melo 🛸🕺🏾💯: Hmm

You: what?

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯 Bet

You: ??

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯 Apple Pay $200

buy something new for me to see, and only me.

You looked at your phone with your eyes widened.

“You almost done?” You heard Jordyn’s voice ask from the other side of the door.

“Yeah, yeah,” you say while quickly fumbling to get your own clothes up off the floor as they had fallen. A scandalous idea pops into your head.

You decided to take a picture of your body in nothing but your bra and panties, taking advantage of the mirror in front of you and using your phone to cover your face before snapping a few pictures and picking out the one you liked most and sending it to him.

You: same color?? Different set?? Lmk 😌

You slipped your phone in your purse and quickly threw your clothes back on.

Meanwhile, Melo was at practice stressing on the bench.

“Whatchu all unfocused for,” Miles asked him, smacking him on the back. “C’mon. You took a longer break than me. That never happens,” he laughed.

“My fault, let’s get into it,” Melo huffed. His eyes scanned the photo you sent him one more time before clicking his phone off.

They were finishing up dribbling around after it had been a couple of hours, they were the only two left in the gym at this point. Everyone else went to lunch. Melo finally opened up to Miles about what was going on.

“She said she likes me, I asked her out tonight and I ain’t even get to kiss her yet, I really don’t know how I’ve waited this long,” Melo huffed rubbing his hands on his shorts.

“You all worked up about it, you clearly willing to wait for it,” Miles replied, smirk on his face before shooting the ball from the free throw line.

“It’s getting hard,” Melo admitted to him, taking a step closer to him and whispering now. “She just sent me a body pic now that shit is engrained in my brain, how am I suppose to think about basketball right now?” He asked him and Miles started chuckling.

“Hahaha you down bad,” he said while he shook Melo’s shoulders. “We can call it a day and you can go home and beat your meat to that picture.”

“Shut up dawg, forreal,” Melo laughed. “She’s so beautiful I know she’s worth the wait its just hard,” he sighed. “She knows what she just did by sending me that.”

“It’ll happen in time,” Miles encouraged him. “But don’t let that fact become a distraction.”

“I know, I know. I’m not distracted. Let’s go a couple more times,” he told Miles and he nodded in agreement, bounce-passing the ball to him.

•••

After you and Jordyn paid for your new clothes in the store, you decided to go into Victoria’s Secret to make a purchase per Melo’s request.

You felt Jordyn’s eyes almost burning a little hole on the side of your head.

“I just wanna look…” you trailed off.

“Mhmm…” Jordyn smirked. “Now you know you don’t have to lie to me, Y/N.”

“Okay fine shhhh,” you hushed her as you scanned through the selection. “I may or may not have just sent him a body pic when I was trying clothes on.”

She gasped. “Like naked?”

“No, No. Not yet,” you laughed. “Just in my bra… he wants me to pick something out just for him after he saw my other outfits I sent him pictures of.”

“You’re getting bold y/n, I like it. Did he reply to the picture though?”

“I’m too scared to look,” you laughed.

“Well, look!!!” She nudged you and you pulled out your phone. You looked at your phone together.

Melo🛸🕺🏾💯:

Y/N

God damn.

Red.

Black.

Shit every color.

Apple Pay $500

Every set.

Please.

She looked at you and smirked.

“Look at you, you made him speechless,” she laughs. “And he started begging? And sent you more money? You need to fuck him tonight.”

“Aw shit… now I’m panicking girl help me pick something out!!” You exclaimed to her and she took your hands and looked into your eyes.

“Girl you just sent a body pic to Melo Ball, who’s clearly into you and wants to see you naked, whatever the hell you end up picking, he will still want to fuck you,” you stated.

You felt the heat run to your cheeks in response to her comment.

“Let’s get this shit then,” you replied, picking out 3 different sets you had your eyes on already.

•••

You took your time getting ready and as you did, you really thought how you were done comparing aspects of your relationship with Melo to your old relationship. You were over Tristan for good.

It’s been a while since you got really dressed up as much as you have lately. Even when you photograph weddings you tend to keep your outfit neutral and as comfortable as possible when you’re doing a bunch of bending and stretching around to get the best images of couples.

So today you were dressing up and you felt the most beautiful and confident that you have in a while and because of that you were so ready for Melo to see you. Your mind rushed with a million thoughts wondering how the night would go.

You heard a knock at the door and let out a small gasp.

You looked at Lucky who was on your bed chilling.

You ran up to open the door in your heels and there he stood.

So tall and sooo fine, there was no one else that made you this happy to open your front door. His eyes scanned your body as he smiled.

“You look beautiful,” he stated.

Thank you,” you grinned. “Come in real quick there’s someone I want you to meet.” You tell him.

“Oh yeah, lemme see her,” he said. “She’s a her right?”

“Yeah, you giggled, “her name is Lucky.”

“I ain’t no cat person.. but..” he said while walking to the bed. He sat next to her and started petting her. Lucky’s eyes closed while he scratched the back of her head.

“She’s so cute,” he smiled. “You like having her?”

“Yeah, she keeps me company.” You say while crossing your arms.

You watch as Melo attempts to pull her into his arms and she snuggled up into his embrace.

“This is way to cute to not take a picture of, I have to,” you say while grabbing your phone, Melo smiled for the picture. You admired it for a moment while he placed her back on the bed.

“Aw, you got some fur on your shirt,” you laughed.

“Aww shit,” he laughs trying to rub it off but nothing moved.

“Here, I got it,” you say reaching for your lint roller. Something you already had because you brought it with you on shoots. You didn’t realize it would be very handy now that you have a cat.

You began using the lint roller on his shirt and he watched you in awe as you took matters into your own hands. Happy with the results, you toss the lint roller on your bed and attempt to walk away but Melo catches your hand.

“Mmmm, come here,” he hummed while using your hand to spin you around to get a full view of your outfit for the night.

“You look good,” he emphasized.

“Thank you,” you blushed, smiling so hard your cheeks were starting to feel sore. “Where we going?”

“You’ll seee,” he chuckles, “I promise.”

“Okay, I trust you,” you smiled.

“Good, now c’mon,” he motions.

The two of you get going, when you locked the door behind you, Melo reached out for your hand. You looked at it, then looked up at him.

His love language most definitely had to be touch.

You grabbed it, and he interlocked your fingers with his.

You laughed at him when you got to the elevator and it was packed, reminiscing on the first time you were in it together and it was full.

This time, Melo pulled you up against the his body. Hands still interlocked with yours as the rested on your hips. Your heart fluttered feeling his body against yours in this way.

There’s no way at least one person in here couldn’t recognize Melo, you thought.

He continued to hold your hand even up until you got to his car, he opened your door for you.

“What a gentleman,” you you grinned playfully.

You took over his Bluetooth right away and started playing some of your favorite songs as you drove.

“One day you gon let me drive this,” you nudged him and he shot you a look right away.

“Hmmm, I don’t know about all that,” he laughed.

“Why not?”

“Hmmm imma need to see how you drive your own car first,” he replied.

“I only hit a curb now and then, nothing crazy.”

“Nah nah you not about to crack my rims,” he laughed.

“I wouldn’t, pleaseee,” you pleaded.

“Hmm, we’ll see,” he smirked.

When you got to the spot, it was a pretty lowkey, cute little restaurant. It was giving very much 5 star rating vibes with its dim lights, fancy tables and chairs. He reserved the spot for the two of you.

You sat down, studying the menu for a moment. He looked up at you and grinned, admiring your gorgeous look for the night. After deciding on what you wanted, the waiter came back and took your order.

“Sooo.. how’d shopping go?” He asked.

“Good, Jordyn came with me,” you mumbled, crossing your legs under the table and straightening your posture.

“Oh yeah? What else you buy?”

“Couple outfits, some things…”

“Like??”

“I guess you’ll have to see later,” you shrugged.

“Anything related to this?” He chuckled, showing you his Lock Screen on his phone was in fact the picture you sent to him earlier.

“Melo,” you blushed, grabbing his phone out of his hand and putting it face down. He picked it right back up again to stare at it.

“You look…” he trailed off, in a daze as he did not remove his eyes from the picture. “…really fucking good,” he nodded, bringing his lips into his mouth before releasing them.

“Your lock screen though?” You glared at him and he shrugged.

“You messed with me at practice sending me that, so I think I deserve to fuck with you for that,” he smirked and you rolled your eyes.

“That’s the game we’re playing?” You asked.

“Mhmm,” he smirked.

“Bet.”

“I ain’t scared of what’s going on in that head of yours, camera girl,” he chuckled.

“I never said you should be,” you giggled. All I said was “bet.”

“Mhmm,” he sassed. You roll your eyes at him.

The waiter brought your food out now.

You both ate your food throwing the occasional glimpses at each other, your mind still on the previous topic but you wanted to get him talking about other things.

“Sooo, LaMelo Ball… What’s it like being in the spotlight?” You asked and he sighed and thought for a moment before he spoke.

“I really don’t know what life is any other way,” he shrugged. “What’s it like to not be?”

“Seems, normal. Seems like I could go without feeling like eyes are on me 24/7,” you smiled.

“Being around with me could change that…” he stated and you looked into his eyes for a moment.

“I don’t mind,” you shrugged.

“I’m worried that might change,” he mumbled.

“How come?” You asked, looking into his eyes now.

“When all eyes are on you, everything is different. Every move and mistake you make can make a headline. It’s a lot of pressure,” he stated.

“Pressure makes diamonds,” you shrugged in a pish-posh matter.

He sits up in his chair and crossed his arms, leaning towards to you now.

“So you think you can handle it?” He asked with a smirk.

Your throat instantly grows dry in response to his demeanor and how he questioned you.

“Uh- maybe, probably I guess it depends,” you muttered, adjusting yourself in your seat.

“Nah, not maybe. I want to hear you say you can,” he replied, very much aware of what his tone was doing to you now.

He was so enticing when he got in touch with his persuasive energy. It made you forget to take a breath thinking about letting him do anything and everything possible to you on this table right now.

You cleared your throat, bringing yourself back to your reality.

“I can…” you trailed off. “I can take- handle it.”

He chuckled, grinning at you as his eyes grew dark.

“That’s what I like to hear,” he replied, focusing on his plate again before taking a bite.

The tension obvious between the two of you now, your stomach was in knots and you had a hard time finishing the rest of your meal without imagining dozens of scenarios going down between you and Melo. You set your fork down, unsure if you should be the one to break the silence.

“How’d you like your food?” He asked finally. Causing you to ease up a bit and smile, releasing a long and slow sigh.

“It was amazing, thank you LaMelo,” you replied.

“Of course camera girl,” he grinned.

You sat up in your seat with your legs crossed, hands on your lap. You watched him as he took the bill from the waiter and gave him his card.

Your eyes scanned his hands and how large they were. Thinking about how those were the same hands that were so good at holding a basketball so effortlessly. Then thinking about how good they would feel wrapped around your neck.

You grew impatient now, not because you wanted the night to end but because you wanted ever single part of him right now. You tried to hold it together.

“Melo?” You asked.

“Hmm?” He hummed, lip pulled between his teeth.

“Where to next?”

“You got somewhere to be?” He teased.

On your dick, you thought.

“No, no I didn’t mean- I mean I’m just looking forward to what you got in mind,” you stuttered.

“There’s a place I want you to see, I think you’d love it, you ready?” He asked.

“Always am,” you smiled.

He got up first, reaching his hand out for you to grab to help bring you out of your seat. As you walked out, some eyes were on you. You grew shy and looked up at Melo. He grinned down at you and you remembered the conversation topic you were just talking about and he knew exactly what was going through your head as he then noticed the eyes on the two of you as well.

“How do you handle it?” You asked.

“I’m open to the constructive criticism but I never let the hate get to me,” he shrugged. “Eyes will be on me for the rest of my life. I just try to remember I’m doing what I love and I’m not mad about that.”

You had some ways to go to have a mentality like Melo.

When you got to his car, you sat in silence as he drove. He kept his hand on your thigh and you were burning up at this point. When you finally got to the spot he was talking about, you smiled at him. He knew you so well and within a couple minutes, you were up on the top floor of the building, admiring the beautiful view of the city of Charlotte from up above.

He looked at you and smiled. He had not said much at this point and you felt like you had not either. You finally broke the silence, nervously looking down at your feet before looking back up at him.

“I like you Melo, I really do. Not because you’re LaMelo Ball but because you’re Melo… I guess that doesn’t make sense because-“

He cut you off by pressing his lips on yours.

Finally.

This was the moment you needed for the longest time. You melted into his embrace as his hands were holding onto your face. Grateful you were in heals, you linked your arms around his neck attempting to bring him as close as possible, intoxicated by his affection.

“Shit,” he whispered into the kiss before latching his lips onto yours again. Your heart was filled with so much joy for the first time in a long time. The two of you not wanting to stop or let go of each other’s embrace.

When you let go for a moment to catch your breath, you looked at him feeling completely speechless. Your mind replaying the moment and now you were unable to not think about anything else other than the feeling of his lips on yours. Your eyes scanned his with a small grin growing on your face now.

“I know pretty girl, I like you too, now please don’t ever stop kissing me,” he chuckled softly into your lips before kissing you again. You giggled into the kiss almost feeling happy tears come on. Enjoying this new level of appreciation you could finally show each other now.

••

When you got back to his car, he turned around and faced you.

“Don’t let me regret this but… wanna drive?” He asked and your eyes grew in excitement.

“Seriously?” you asked.

“Yeah,” he shrugged.

You grabbed the keys out of his hand and quickly made your way to the front seat. He went to the passenger seat side. It was a funny sight seeing the two of you have to adjust your seats in the opposite direction. He brought his all the way back and you brought yours more than inches away from the steering wheel.

You looked at him after putting the keys in the ignition and he watched you, amused by the sight.

“Awwww shit,” you turned up the radio and leaned back in your seat. You pulled out the lot and did not realize how much of a confidence boost you would be given driving a $200,000 car.

You shot the occasional glance at him as he had the biggest smile on his face completely enjoying everything about this.

When you hopped on the freeway you pushed 80 almost 90. His face grew concerned with the possibility of you getting pulled over in his car.

“Hey,” he laughed while putting his hand on your arm. “Slow your ass down.”

“Sorry,” you laughed, bringing down your speed now. You drove around the city, admiring it from the window.

“Oh shit…” you stated, slowing down and turning the radio down as well. “I need my car for tomorrow.”

“Where is it?” He asked you.

“Left it at my parents house on my birthday,” you replied.

“Perfecttt, I can’t wait to meet them, let’s go,” he laughed, you glared at him.

“You better act right,” you giggled.

“Who said I wouldn’t?” He grinned proudly, adjusting his shirt.

•••

You made it to your moms and unlocked the front door slowly. Your parents were in the living room watching a movie and were more than happy to see you two.

“Well you two look really nice,” your mom grinned, putting her glasses on and standing up from the couch.

“Mom and dad this is Melo, Melo this is my mom and dad,” you chuckled.

“Nice to meet y’all,” Melo grinned, he shook your dads hand and gave your mom a side hug. “We we’re on a date, I took her out for dinner, I hope that’s okay,” Melo smiled.

“Of course,” your mom smiled and winked at you as he spoke with your dad.

“It’s nice to meet you son,” your dad smiled at him. They chatted for a moment and you told your mom you were just stopping by to say hi and pick up your car. You watched as they asked him some questions. Your dad knew exactly who he was so of course he got to talking.

He was the sweetest to your mom, the biggest gentleman and was very kind to your father. You admired how he held the conversation with them so well. The moment was short and sweet, but you were ready to get going.

Out of habit, Melo made the mistake of pulling out his phone as he stood right next to your mom. Remembering the Lock Screen photo, you were too far to snatch his phone out of his hand, but by the look on his face when he saw it, he definitely realized and slipped it right back into his pocket.

“Uh- but we’re-we’re going to go,” you blurted. “I love you guys, always good to see you, we’ll stop by again soon.”

“You too,” your replied with a smile on her face you wondered he she noticed or if he put it away in time. The two of you rushed out of the house and back to his car.

•••

“You’re slick as fuck for that,” is the first thing you said to him when the two of walked into his apartment. You were hoping to God your mom did not see the photo on his phone and you were nervous about it the entire way home.

“For what,” he asked, grinning ever so innocently, using all of his teeth to smile.

“You know what you did,” you mumbled.

“What’d I do?” He asked, bringing you in by the waist to meet his face.

“Change your Lock Screen,” you mumbled.

“Why? What if I want to show off what’s mine,” he replied, rubbing his thumb on your back as he spoke.

“What’s yours?” You repeated, slightly heated at his stubbornness now. “Am I yours?”

“You tell me?”

“You ask me,” you shot back, not making sense of what you were trying to say but rather feeling heavily sexually frustrated now.

“You gon regret having that attitude with me pretty girl,” he replied, eagerly bringing his lips to yours now. He picked you up without breaking the kiss, walking you over to his bed now.

Slipping you out of your outfit, he undressed you tortuously slow. You laid down on the bed in nothing but the shiny new underwear you bought today for the occasion. His eyes scanned your body in all of its bare beauty for a couple of moments before going back to kissing you again.

You focused on the way his lips felt pressed against your skin. The way he softly kissed your jawline down to your neck, a small moan escaped your lips. He looked up at you and acknowledged your approval of his actions.

“You are mine,” he mumbled in between planting kisses on your inner thighs. “All mine.”

“Really?” You asked, trying to keep the sarcastic act up but miserably failing as he slowly slipped your panties off.

“So you went ahead and sent that picture and then get mad that I liked the picture?” He whispered while slowly beginning to rub your clit now.

“I wasn’t mad that you- oh my god” your words were cut short as he slowly slid a finger inside of you.

“And still getting smart about it after I told you to watch your mouth?” He chuckled. His voice low now as he knew his tone was increasingly taunting to you.

“I- Melo,” you gasped, feeling ecstatic about the increasing pleasure not only because it felt good but because it was Melo. And you wanted it to be him doing this to you right now. For the longest time.

“You know how long I been wanting to know how you taste?” he mumbled, eyes hooded now has he was so focused on pleasuring you in this moment. He had yet to bring his mouth to your pussy and was only pleasuring you with his hands but you were putty in his grasp unable to control yourself at this point.

“You so beautiful, I don’t think you truly understand that…” he mumbled, increasing the pace of his fingers now. Your heart swelled with happiness at his sweet words.

“But that smart mouth is going to get you in trouble,” he finished.

“Melo shut up and eat me out already,” you gasped and he was taken aback by your demands. He stopped.

“Aht- what’d I just say?” He asked, his tone sounded playfully angry but nonetheless his aggression was turning you on.

You playfully glared at him, rolled your eyes then fell into character. If he wanted the praise as much as you did, then you would give it to him to get what you wanted. As you expected the result of two zodiac fire signs fighting for dominance.

“Please Melo, I want you to make me feel good, Melo,” you beamed at him, pleading now, even though you were not lying. It was easy to tell that as confident as he was, he still enjoyed having his ego stroked.

It did not take him long to give in this time, as his lips found your clit, he took his time to make sure you felt good. His hands simultaneously caressing your breasts and bringing his hands all the way down to your hips as if you did not think he could get any closer to your pussy, his face was drowning in it at this point as you were moaning in response to him getting you closer and closer to your climax.

He did not stop, in fact, he kept going even after you came. Clearly overstimulated, you were gasping for air at this point admiring how dedicated he was to eating you until you cried.

“I stop eating you out when I’m finished,” he stated, bringing his lips back up to the lips on your face now. (Lmaoo) “you need anything ma?”

To get a fucking grip after that shit, you thought.

“Surprise me,” you whispered breathlessly, wrapping yourself in his blanket.

You had zero words as he got up and casually made his way to the fridge, grabbing the two of you something to drink. He brought it back to you and sat next to you now, still admiring everything about you.

“You so pretty,” he beamed at you. “stay with me tonight?”

I feel the need to point out that it isn’t laziness- it’s fear. Corporate America has its hands secured tightly around our throats. Those with the money will do anything to make those bellow them believe that they are undeserving of more. We live in a fascist police state that takes so much information away from so many people. People here ARE willingly ignorant but that's because we are not shown by anyone properly in our own country that we could teach ourselves. And the fear is real I have a supervisor I work with currently who gets treated like ABSOLUTE DOG SHIT and she says she'll leave everytime but all she asks for is higher pay and now they won't raise the pay and her answer is "there are worse jobs out there".

We are all so scared bc we feed into the abuser mindset in EVERY part of this country.

Don't go to other jobs they'll treat you WORSE! Stay here and let me take care of you by giving you more responsibilities than any person can handle and yell and scream at you and threaten you with job loss if you don't do it right.

Don't move to another country. They're all bad and take SPECIFICALLY americans hostage for sex trafficking and you'll never financially recover bc it's just WAY to expensive to live there. They'll never treat you like equals. So just stay here and let me kill your people for being queer or of colour or of another religion. Let me brain wash those that are so scared that they refuse to think for themselves and let me seperate you all so everybody hates everybody.

Sound familiar? Like when a parent or partner says something along the lines of "don't leave me and go out there, no one will treat you right or understand you properly! I'm the only one you can trust bc everyone else is out to hurt you, so just stay here and I'll keep you safe by beating the shit out of you emotionally, mentally, and physically"

You see it? Most Americans are too privileged to want to see that they feed into this specific part of society. So it IS laziness bc most Americans refuse to believe that anyone in this country OR EVEN OUT OF IT has lived anywhere near a different life to them. They are so afraid of change that this entire country will uphold the most toxic and hurtful ideals just so they don't have to admit they are wrong! The government pushes the voices of middle class bc they will ALWAYS side with the government even if only slightly bc they are to stupid to fight their fears. The government then purposefully will limit access to the poor by taking tax peyers dollars and shoving it down their own throats so poor people never see it and cannot properly educate themselves.

This country is run by fear that has turned so many of us lazy bc "why should I care about another human being. My life is just SOOO much worse"

We've completely lost empathy for each other bc we are fed the idea of selfishness and being able to lone wolf everything.

Which isn't how our species is supposed to run as a whole!!! We are a pack oriented species but Americans, like I said, refuse to change that mindset bc it would be the end of the world if they admitted that they were wrong about absolutely anything!!!

Meanwhile in France:

[meili-sheep]

Eula: (somewhat stressed) Look, I’m not asking for any official status or anything else of that nature. I just want to bash some Fatui skulls.

Yelan: But that isn’t it, now is it?

Eula: . . . some of my family may or may not be amongst the particular groups you scoped out. And I would want nothing more than to see the looks on their faces at the sight of me kicking their asses.

Yelan: You’re in.

Status: Honorary Member

Itto: (energized and worked up) Come on, man! I can’t let ‘em get away with roughing up my gang! It’s not right.

Ayato: As much as I would love to have you join us, there’s one in our number that wouldn’t approve of it, so I don’t know . . .

Itto: Who is it, bro? Do they think I’m not strong enough? Lemme at ‘em! I’ll prove them wrong and they’ll see I can fight with you guys-

Yelan: (yawns) It’s too early to be arguing with yourself . . . (sees Itto) Oh.

Itto: (gasps) You?!?

Yelan: (gasps, mocking) Me?

Ayato: (exasperated) Please don’t start fighting again . . .

Status: Rejected Pending???

Shenhe: (sighs deeply) Look. I can’t let you come with me.

Qiqi: But Fatui . . . bad. And Qiqi . . . doesn’t like bad people.

Shenhe: And that’s fine, but Dr. Baizhu wouldn’t like you to go. So I’m not going to either.

Qiqi: Dr. Baizhu . . . couldn’t catch me anyway.

Shenhe: (raises a single eyebrow) I could though.

Qiqi: (sadly) Aww.

Status: Rejected Extensive Review Pending

Diluc: No.

Kaeya: But-

Diluc: Too much craziness and close calls.

Kaeya: (scoffs) As if you aren’t a part of that.

Diluc: It’s more for your sanity than mine.

Kaeya: And how is that the case?

Diluc: (simply) Shenhe would eat you alive.

Status: Rejected Unknown

————

Yelan: Absolutely not. You can’t.

Shinobu: Actually I can because I have a permit and the certifications.

Yelan: Pfft. Bet.

Shinobu: Nache. (actually produces the documentation)

Yelan: (stumped for once in her life) Where the fuck did you get those?

Shinobu: (shrugs, smugly) Ayato taught a master course a little while ago and I was one of the only ones that got flying colors on it! Don’t know why there was a ‘Gambling for Dummies’ component though.

Yelan: (under her breath) I swear to the Archons, Ayato is so fucking dead . . .

Shinobu: Sooo can I join you?

Yelan: No.

Shinobu: Why?

Yelan: Because.

Shinobu: And what’s the reasoning for that?

Yelan: . . . We’ll start the process.

Klee: So Klee can use bombs?

Diluc: Yes, yes you can.

Sayu: . . . will I get paid?

Ayato: But you already get paid by me!

Sayu: Time is money and sleep loss. I want monetary compensation.

Ayato: The Brigade only gets pay from the spoils, but it’s quite the amount.

Sayu: Will Miss Shenhe be there?

Ayato: Yes.

Sayu: And will I be able to take naps with her?

Ayato: Anytime you want.

Sayu: I’ll sign up. But I also want some of the shares when I contribute.

Ayato: That’s not even going to be an issue.

Status: Pending Honorary Member

Ayato: No.

Ayaka: You can’t tell me what to do. I’ve already given the paperwork to Yelan.

Ayato: (holds up said paperwork) This paperwork?

Ayaka: (huffs) Now you’re just being unfair!

Ayato: I’m being perfectly fair. You can be friends with them, but the brigade is too dangerous.

Ayaka: So you can be in it, but I can’t?!?

Ayato: When you’re older.

Ayaka: We’re not even that far apart!

Status: Rejected Pending (as Ayato didn’t actually snatch the right documents)

————

Diluc: . . . did you even read the paperwork?

Childe: Yes!

Diluc: So . . . why are you still going through with the process?

Childe: Because Dottore is a bitch and deserves to be bullied. And Arlecchino needs to get knocked off her high horse. It’d also be funny to clown on Pierro.

Diluc: . . . you understand that for you specifically, this process is going to be extensive and longer than usual. I’ll also need to talk to the others about this.

Childe: Of course!

Diluc: (sighs) You really shouldn’t be doing this, but whatever I guess.

Childe: I’ll be fine, comrade! Just tell me when I get to start bullying the Fatui!

Diluc: (to himself) He’s confused, but he’s got the right spirit.

Yelan: She’s in for life. You don’t even need to ask about that.

Tighnari: As she’s currently under my charge, I’m afraid I’m going to have to decline any full membership activities, but I am 100% supportive of any affliation she wishes to have as the skills she would learn from you all would be good for her in the future.

Yelan: (nods) We can make it work. You’ll also have your time and what you’re doing with her already.

Tighnari: Okay! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Yelan: Of course.

Collei: (bilnks) But . . . I didn’t even get to have any of the interviews . . .

Status: Special Honorary Member

————

Diluc: And why do you think we would let you in?

Tighnari: I have an inherent intolerance for stuffy bureaucracy, commit dissemination like it’s a hobby, and have access to an arsenal of plants and fungi with properties that could kill 15 Sumpter Beasts with less than one drop, paralyze you with exposure up to 50 feet away, or cause you to hallucinate to the point where you are rendered brain-dead just by touching them. The Akademiya has never managed to put me in jail for a reason and if the Fatui are dealing with them, then they won’t catch me either.

Diluc: . . .

Tighnari: . . . okay, fine. I want to keep an eye on Collei and make sure she’s doing okay.

Diluc: That’s all you had to say. Done.

Status: Honorary Member

Yanfei: You really should consider letting me in.

Yelan: No, I shouldn’t.

Yanfei: Does the ‘Elderberry Wine Incident’ ring a bell?

Yelan: . . . I should.

Yanfei: Precisely.

Ayato: (mutters) We’re just going to let anyone join now, aren’t we?

Guoba: (grunts) Huh?

Ayato: Fine.

Guoba: (happily) Lolol! (hands him a fish skewer)

Ayato: Oh, why thank you. (nibbles it) Mmm, not bad! A tad plain though, but the smokiness is quite nice.

[adventuresasmrsfindley]

I keep thinking of more people we need to get Christmas presents for and I'm just really over spending money at the moment. Vulnerable moment. Finances are not great right now. Y'all might remember back in January when our escrow account got all messed up. It resulted in our mortgage going up $300/month. Then gas went up. Then groceries started going up. Then the holidays hit which means unpaid time off work for my husband and lots of money going out the window. I'm stressed. We make such good money and I should not be this stressed. But something that I'm so embarrassed to admit is that we definitely bought more house than we needed/could truly afford. In my twenties I was so worried about impressing everyone. Having a big nice house. And the older I get I'm just like why? We have a four bedroom, three bath, two story house for THREE PEOPLE. 🥴 And yeah it's pretty and I feel proud when we host in it, but our mortgage is almost $1900. We do notttt need a house this big/nice/expensive. I'm starting to learn (and I hate that it took so long) that life isn't about what you have or keeping up with the Joneses. We should be using our money to save for the future, or go on vacations if we want, or idk literally anything other than working to pay a mortgage payment. I could kick 28 year old me for buying this house. Truly. Our plan when we sold our last house was to downsize and somehow we ended up in a house that was $35k more than our last one. And this is a huge reason why my husband wants to move so bad. We could make a good chunk of change if we sold, have 5 figures in the bank, actually downsize to an affordable mortgage, and not be stressing paycheck to paycheck because we are over extended. I'm so freaking scared to move. Like actually terrified. But a life where I don't have to think about money literally every day sounds sooo much nicer than the one we are living now.

I am nervous to hit post on this but ya know what, you guys have never let me down when I've been vulnerable before so I gotta trust that this time will be no different.

[fuck-customers]

Since lots of people don't see workers as humans, I get to overhear a lot of drama. Either that be over the phone or arguing right before a couple orders their food. But this guy really took the cake. I do want to say this guy walked in with bad vibes. Like I thought he was coming to massacre us. My store is all hispanics except for 1 dude. SOOO when i saw this white dude with a white wife beater come in and incredibly bad vibes it, freaked me out. But I pushed it aside. I asked for his order and he was on the phone. He would tell me to wait a sec. Okayyyy.... then He ordered his food. Plate A. And was arguing with what I would later find out was his girlfriend. He clearly had anger issues. Literally cursing at his girlfriend "What the FUCK do you want." My vibes were not off. I tried to advise him on what to order. He would ignore me and tell me to give him a second. He finally put his gf on speaker. She names a few stuff we have and one thing we didn't but I knew what she was asking for. I ask him if she want what I assume shes asking for and she says yes and he continues to argue with her about what she wants for her order. After she had very verbally told me what she wanted. I tried to explain to him that her plate was ready. And he cut me off saying to give him a second. Third times the charm. Speaking more firmly "Her plate is ready" Plate B. This interaction has already gone on too long I hand his plates to the cashier so she can ring it up. I hear from the other side of the buffet table "I dont have my card I must have misplaced it." "okay I can gold your food while you go back to target to see if they have it" "I just got out of prison I dont have any money" Usually 1 plate we will give for free, give me a good reason and we'll give it to you. However my manager was there that day and the snitch who cooks was there too. Cashier had no other choice especially since he was trying for 2 plates. To charge him for both. He said "alright Ill pay for plate A". The cashier charges him for 1 and put the other on the side for a potential plate we could use for another order.

Cut to... lets say 2 hours later.

This guy comes in he is on the phone with his girlfriend again and she's angry. They are arguing and he's holding up the line again. I ask "Are you here for the other plate?". He cuts me off trying to get his gfs order. Again I have to explain to him that I have her plate put he wont let me speak. Which furthers my aggravation. He says "talk to the lady" and puts her on speaker again she angrily yells "I dont want anything". He argues some more. I cut his dumbass off I have no more patience for this dude. I have her plate. He starts off "I just got out of prison, I cant afford the plate" "My gf is bitching me out because she didnt like the food". He really gets on my nerves. shes not bitching you out. "Please I walked 1 miles from Kowes, I don't a care about the money, its just my gf is bitching me out" Cute, I used to work at kowes, I walked there and back everyday day my shift. its a 15 minute walk. I get my manager and explain the situation in spanish lol cuz fuck that guy. He's being annoying and repeating the same shit while i explain what's up to my manager. I dont say shit while he talks to my manager. Its none of my business "My gf is bitching me out, because YOU gave me the wrong order." Okay wait a fucking sec. I say "Shes angry because you brought her your order instead of what she wanted. You brought her plate A instead of plate B I think shes understandably angry." Thats not our fucking problem. You fucking up and giving your gf plate A instead of Plate B does not mean you get a free plate. I gave you the correct order. What you should have done l, if it really isnt about the money, is bought plate B in the first place to make your gf happy. BTW customers behind him are having the time of their lives when I explain to him how HE fucked up not us. Don't insert us in your dumbass drama. My manger said he had to pay the plate. He left came back 20 minutes later with an entree redemption code. And my manager cashed him out.

I'm sorry this was so long, just needed somewhere to put this dumb situation that isn't my mind. The amount of time saved if this guy didn't cut me off so much. If only he would fucking reflect on the dumb shit he did. Note I was very polite but firm when I lost patience. I am a professional. Shout out to his gf, hope she leaves his ass. Hes an absolute trashcan that treated his gf like shit and didnt listen to a word she said.

[countlessrealities]

Mabel's smile grows brighter when Snufkin accepts the drink she has brought him. Hopefully he likes it, because she would feel bad if he had felt compelled to drink it only because she has grabbed him a glass. She might have approached him despite the fact that he had obviously chosen to keep his distances, but she doesn't want to be pushy or to make him uncomfortable.

That isn't the only thought occupying her mind, though. Now that she's close enough, closer than she has ever been before, she can see the man's inhuman traits. Paws and fangs and the slightly off shape of his body. Had they been elsewhere, she would have been caught off guard, but this is Gravity Falls. "Anomaly" is another word for "normalcy" out there. Especially now that the Society of the Blind Eye is no longer around wiping people's memories of the paranormal.

"Yeah, I noticed that," she admits with a chuckle. Then she shrugs. "My brother isn't a people person either, but he can mingle...He just needs a little push. I thought that it could be your case too, so I came to offer you one. But you don't have to take it! If you prefer staying here and watching, that's good too!"

The last two sentences are spoken in a bit of a hurry, betraying the fact that she is worrying that she might be pressuring him. A year ago she wouldn't have been as perceptive towards people's comfort, but the events of Weirdmaggeddon had taught her a few valuable lessons. If they had been worth the trauma or not, she can't say, but she still values them all.

"What are you looking for?" She can't stop herself from asking, curiosity winning over caution. She turns her eyes back on the crowd too, as if trying to picture how it has to look from his eyes. "Just regular people watching or...?"

Her voice trails off as her gaze lands on Snufkin once again, this time carrying an inquisitive note. She can understand what he means. Whenever she finds herself in a new place, the first thing she does is having a good look around to get an idea of what she's dealing with. However, her watching period is definitely much shorter than his seems to be.

"So you travel when? In fall or winter? Like migratory birds?" It's a funny comparison to make. But who knows. Maybe whatever species the man belongs to has specific migrations periods. "Dip-sauce and I usually travel in summer instead! I guess that it's mostly because we don't have school, and our parents want to go on holiday on their own. Now we're old enough to travel by ourselves and our Grunkles are happy to have us around, sooo...here we are! Summer in Gravity Falls."

Was she rambling a little too much? Not for her standards, but maybe it's too much for someone like Snufkin.

"Oh, no worries! There's still plenty. I couldn't put them down together with the rest of the food because Grunkle Stan wanted people to pay for them and it took me a while to get him to understand that it would kill the purpose of making food to share freely with the rest of the town."

She lets out a heavy sigh, barely stopping herself from rolling her eyes. Stan's obsession with money has gotten a little better now that he has Ford back, but old habits die hard.

"I can go and fetch you a plate, if you still aren't ready to join the others!"

Snufkin likes to just observe parties.  Celebrations like this were big in Moominvalley, and the residents found something to celebrate almost every month or at least every other.  Snufkin would attend out of politeness and because his friends were there.  He even let Moominmamma put him in traditional festival clothing at one point, not wanting to reject the embroidered vest and skirt she had fashioned for him.  But he was never one to dance or play much with the others, content to sit on the fence and watch like he is now.  Occasionally, he will play his harmonica, and at last year’s harvest party, he gave Moomin and Snorkmaiden a dance each, but that’s about it.

And those were his friends, never mind a town full of people he doesn’t know very well.

He saw Mabel approaching long before she reached him because he has a pretty good view of the grounds, and he did not make an effort to run away, though he let the brim of his hat fall over his eyes so that she would not catch him staring.  Now he looks at her properly, chestnut eyes flicking down to the offered cup and then back up at her face.  What good reason does he have to not take it?

He reaches out with his paw, takes the punch from her, and says, “Thank you.”  Then, he looks back out at the crowd.  “I’m not much of a mingler, either, as I’m sure you’ve probably noticed.”  He smiles at the observation, little fangs sticking out from his upper lip.  “I usually like to watch for a while before I get too involved in anything.”

When she mentions helping to make the pies herself, though, he feels a little bit guilty, like he ought to go and sample one, especially since it reminds him of Moominvalley and Moominmamma’s pies.  She made pies out of everything—vegetable pies, meat pies, fruit pies, chocolate pies, and so on.

He brings the sugary punch to his lips and hums around the rim of the plastic cup.  “I am,” he answers.  “I don’t usually travel in summer, so the disruption has put me a little out of sorts.”  He tries to stay in Moominvalley until winter, but sometimes, the urge to leave will flare up in him insatiably, and he cannot settle until he heeds the call.  So, he packed up everything in the middle of the night and headed out while everyone was asleep so that Moomin couldn’t protest that it wasn’t time for Snufkin to leave yet.

“I’m Snufkin.  It’s a pleasure.”  As much as he appreciates his solitude, he can’t say that this first proper introduction with her has been terrible, barring her endeavors to get him to mingle with others.  “I might have to try one of the pies you made,” he says, finally pushing himself off the wall.  “I’m sure they’ll be all gone soon enough if I don’t jump on them now.”
